Editor’s Prologue

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

A few months ago, a reader thanked me for publishing an article and photo about her son’s Eagle Scout honor, saying, “It’s about time the good kids made the news.� The good kids make the news every week in The Gazette – and the good teachers, schools, coaches, plays, concerts, and youth programs. That’s why, in part, The Gazette earned a Media Recognition Award from the Pennsylvania Association of School Retirees – one of just three given out in the state this year. Other reasons they gave were The Gazette’s coverage of children’s news year-round and the many volunteer opportunities their retired members are alerted to in each issue.

I was proud to receive the award last week at a meeting of the Centre County chapter of school retirees, and was tickled that Sam Stitzer could accompany me. See his story in this issue. This award was earned by our collective hard work – Sam for covering schools, concerts, and plays, especially Penns Valley; Pat Park for school-play reviews; Les Barnhart and Matt Masullo for high-school sports; Rose Hoover, who unfailingly kept us up on news from Bald Eagle schools; and our freelance writers who happily accepted assignments which featured good kids of all ages. From pre-teen Hometown Heroes to young men and women excelling in higher education, you can count on weekly news about our exceptional young citizens.

This week, we shine our light on the Bald Eagle school building’s new addition, the opening of Discovery Space Children’s Science Museum in State College; the Penns Valley students’ scarecrow project; State High’s homecoming parade; a Bellefonte grad crowned Miss LHU; and the second week’s rankings in the Gazette Stock Market Game Challenge.

Check out the kids’ events in this Halloween centerfold, including a number of faith-based alternative events.

Sam Stitzer was all over the county last week – Milesburg Fire Co open house, Bellefonte’s historic train ride; martial arts training in Spring Mills; Penns Valley scarecrow project; and Wingate for the school-dedication ceremony.

As always, there are plenty of ways to keep busy this week: the State College Halloween Parade, new art exhibits, live bands, church bazaars, free demonstrations, a book signing for the Jeremy Herbstritt fund, and opportunities to lend a hand. Clean out your closet and keep a few neighbors warm by donating to the winter clothing and coat exchanges at three area churches!

By next Friday, I suspect we’ll have seen a few snowflakes – or at least some frost on the pumpkins. Stay warm, count your blessings, and keep the good news coming our way.

Upcoming Features IN The Gazette November 4 – Hunters’ Guide November 11 – A Salute to Our Veterans November 18 – Give Thanks – special Thanksgiving issue Write us about what you are thankful for!

Letters to the Editor Thanks to All! Comfort Keepers sends a big thank-you to all the places that helped them collect food for the Stop Senior Hunger Program: • Comfort Keeper Office, State College • Goddard School, State College • HealthSouth in Pleasant Gap • Kish Banks, North Atherton, South Atherton, and Bellefonte • Geisinger, Philipsburg and Bellefonte • Hearthside Rehabilitation & Nursing Center, State College • Coleville Wesleyan Church, Bellefonte • Saint Paul’s Christian Preschool • State College High School, South Building • Windy Hill Village, Philipsburg And a big thank you to the grocery stores that donated gift cards Weis, Walmart, Wegmans, and Giant.

Our goal at Comfort Keepers was to collect at least 500 items. With the help of all these organizations we were able to collect 824 items. The food was delivered to the State College Food Bank on October 12.

On October 13, the first-grade students from Wingate Elementary School visited the Millbrook Marsh Nature Center. The focus of the field trip was wetland habitats; including the plants, insects, and other animals that dwell there. The students spent two hours exploring the marsh and making discoveries about our environment. As part of the field trip, the children were introduced to Integrated Pest Management (IPM), an important component of the PA Environment and Ecology Standards.

The field trip was generously paid for through a Connections Grant sponsored

by ClearWater Conservancy of Central

Pennsylvania, Inc. Since 1997, ClearWater Conservancy has been providing schools in our area with funding for educational field trips to different locations, including the Millbrook Marsh Nature Center.

The staff and first-grade students of Wingate Elementary thank ClearWater Conservancy and encourage community support of their programs, so grants such as the Connections grant received by our first grade can continue to be provided. You can visit ClearWater Conservancy’s website at http:// www.clearwaterconservancy.org for more information.

First-graders observe aquatic organisms captured form the marsh.

Wingate first grade students look at a gigantic ant hill at the Millbrook Marsh.

Virginia McClure Serving through Music

By Brian E. Bassett Virginia McClure was born and raised in Bellefonte, attended Bishop Street Elementa r y School, and Ms. McClure was honored last graduated from month for 50 years of service as Bellefonte Area assistant organist at Saint John’s High School in Lutheran Church of Bellefonte. 1959. She lived on Logan Street until the eighth grade, and has lived in her current home since 1955.

McClure worked for 40 years with Mid State Bank & Trust Company (now M&T) in the same office – a building next to the courthouse which is now the courthouse annex. While at Mid State, she received the President Award for providing exceptional customer service.

Virginia plays piano for church services at the Oaks in Pleasant Gap every Tuesday; and plays the organ to help out other area churches. She is assistant organist at her church, Saint John’s Lutheran Church of Bellefonte, where her 50 years as assistant organist were celebrated on September 25.

“I actually started playing at Saint John’s in July, 1961,” McClure recalled. “I give thanks for having been given the opportunity to enjoy

serving my friends and neighbors through my music. It keeps me learning and gives me great pleasure.”

As a member of the American Guild of Organists, having passed the service-playing exam and the colleague exam, Virginia earned the right to put CAGO after her name. This is akin to a bachelor’s degree suffix, and stands for Colleague of the American Guild of Organists.

In addition to playing piano and organ, McClure serves the Organists’ Guild as treasurer; and as financial secretary for her church. She also sings with Saint John’s choir, is a 20-year member of the Pennsylvania Chorale, and has enjoyed singing with the State College Chapter Choral Society since 1986.

“Virginia’s friends and community members congratulate and thank her for her years of loyal and talented service,” said Pat Park, longtime friend through the church who shares Virginia’s interest in theatre and music. “If she’s not on duty at the Lutheran church, she can be found at the Presbyterian, the United Church of Christ, the United Methodist, or the Episcopal church in Bellefonte or Pleasant Gap. Virginia can also be found at the Oaks – playing for weekly services or working in the gift shop.”

THE

By Tammy Miller

Just a piece of CAKE Unbelievable, this is the last issue of October already and the snow flakes are teasing us as they gently float through the air!

With the beginning of November and into December, we sometimes feel overwhelmed with a to-do list that seems to multiply daily.

Perhaps, you even feel a “little” stress this time of year! I know, some of you are already relieving your stress by having a great belly laugh at me stating a “little” stress! Laughter is one of the best ways to relive stress! For most people the holidays are the most stressful time of the year and we all know that it is not a healthy state of being.

Some say that “stressed” is just “desserts” spelled backwards! I love a good dessert! In fact, my dear mother has always taught us that you never know what might happen during a meal so you should always eat (or at least nibble) your dessert first.

This time of year my favorite dessert is anything pumpkin, especially cake! When I think about the stresses of the holidays, there are a few things that I find can be very helpful, in fact, if I pay closer attention to some of them, I find that all of this stress can really be a “piece of CAKE”.

The “C” reminds me to Create a Gratitude List and review it often. It’s easy to think about what we don’t have this time of year with all of the commercialism that inundates us from the media, but how about items of gratitude?

Try to embrace the good news that you find (like the Gazette!) and stay away from the bad stuff. In fact, as soon as you finish this article, take out a piece of paper and number 1-25 and record your personal gratitude list. Maybe they include family, friends, health, and even items like a washing machine – I don’t know about you, but I am glad I don’t have to beat my clothes on the rocks!

The “A” of our CAKE is to ASK for help! Sometimes we simply take on too much and we need to pare down our commitments. I am also a firm believer that we do not barter enough in this world. What are you especially good at that may benefit others and what might you ask for in return? It could be baking or child care or chopping wood, the list is endless.

Take a moment and think about how asking for help might “slice” out a little more time for you and someone else!

Our dessert of life surely includes “K” for Kindness. It is amazing what happens when we share a little kindness. Look for the opportunities! It only takes a few minutes to make a difference! An added dose of kindness shouldn’t just be for the holiday season, of course, but it is a nice time to remember to choose our battles carefully and help others with theirs along the way.

Finally, “E” is for Embracing the moment.

Often we rush without really embracing the moment and the people with whom we are sharing that moment. Strive to live in each moment and be engaged with those around you for that moment.

The next time you are feeling stressed, remember, it really is just “desserts” spelled backwards. When we think about Creating a gratitude list; Asking for help when needed; taking a few extra moments to show Kindness; and Embracing the moment, we might just find that life is certainly better with a big ‘ol slice of CAKE! Now, start numbering….

If someone had not left a copy of Michael Connelly’s The Lincoln Lawyer in our vacation condo, I would have missed out on an exciting read.

Mickey Haller is a criminal defense attorney who operates out of the back seat of his Lincoln Town Car. His practice takes him all over the city of Los Angeles, defending drug dealers, drunk drivers, con artists, prostitutes, bikers, and the like. For Mickey it is not about guilt or innocence, it is about manipulation and the bottom line – money.

He is beginning to think that he has lost his ability to recognize actual innocence. When he is hired by a wealthy playboy accused of attacking a woman that he

After someone very close to him is murdered, Mickey finds himself facing real evil and he must use all of his instincts and talents as a lawyer to protect himself and his family.

What follows is page after page of plot twists, action, and courtroom drama at its best.

Library Gets Magnifying Equipment for Readers Live Demonstration Friday, November 4

By Melanie Phillips

BELLEFONTE – The Centre County library will host a hands-on event at the library for folks to “check out” a portable video magnifier on November 4 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Bellefonte branch location of the Centre County Library & Historical Museum at the corner of Allegheny and Howard Street in downtown Bellefonte.

The public is encouraged to come in and talk with agencies such as Sight Loss Support Group of State College and the North Central Sight Services, Inc of Williamsport.

BELLEFONTE – The Bellefonte Historical Railroad Society held its third annual Fall Foliage Excursions on Saturday, October 22

All aboard! Vintage passenger cars are ready to leave the Bellefonte station. and Sunday, October 23. Three excursions The train pulls out from Bellefonte. left from the Bellefonte station at Talleyrand Park for Pleasant Gap, Tyrone, and Lock Haven. Diesel locomotives from the Nittany and Bald Eagle Railroad pulled a train composed of 1940’s and ’50’s vintage passenger cars and caboose. The vintage rolling stock is owned by Jeff Pontius of Williamsport, who loaned his train to the Bellefonte Historical Railroad Society for this event. The cars were filled with local families and railroad buffs who took advantage of this rare opportunity to enjoy a glimpse into the glory days of American railroading.

At about 10:35 a.m. on Saturday, a deafening blast from the locomotive’s horn echoed off the old Match Factory building complex to signal the start of the run. The diesel engines came up to speed, and expelled billows of smoke as the

The train passed by, shaking the ground The train crosses a bridge near Pleasant Gap. and flexing the thick steel rails as it went. More blasts from the horn emanated as the train crossed route 150, and disappeared down the track toward Pleasant Gap.

I raced ahead of the train along Route 144, to the Oddfellows hall parking lot near Pleasant Gap, where I met Dave Larrabee, and his friend Gary from the Columbia, MD area.

These fellows are railroad buffs who travel around the northeast United States to watch and photograph trains.

“I’ve chased a lot of trains” said Dave. As we heard the train approaching, we ran down to the tracks to get photos of it as it passed over a small bridge spanning Spring Creek.

Engineers and passengers gave us friendly waves in passing while we snapped photos. For those of us who have a love of things with wheels and powerful engines, this was a great experience! Maybe next year, I’ll ride along.

The Bellefonte Historical Railroad Society will hold Christmas season excursions on December 16 through 18.

The train will be decorated with colored lights, and some of the runs will be at night. For more information, call (814) 355-1053 or visit www.bellefontetrain.org.

Drying Flowers

Gazette Wins School Retirees’ Media Award

By Lisa Zander-Campbell, Master Gardener

I have loved flowers since I was a child, helping my grandmother pick armloads of peonies from her gardens in the spring, tending my own zinnia garden in the summer and marveling at the multitude of shades and patterns of my mother’s marigolds.

My first venture into flower drying and subsequent creation was a simple grapevine wreath with air-dried roses, baby’s breath, and velvet ribbons.

My mother introduced me to drying flowers with desiccants and our first attempt was with her marigolds, yielding beautiful results. The dried arrangements we made looked so realistic, our imaginations soared with ideas of what we could create with other flowers. As the years passed, I’ve continued to experiment with drying many types of flowers.

I hope to give you the knowledge to begin drying flowers and the inspiration to turn them into your own beautiful arrangements. While my knowledge is by no means complete, I’ve tried to cover the essentials of flower drying.

Harvesting your flowers at the right time is of supreme importance. Generally, you should cut the flowers you wish to preserve in the morning when they are fresh and in their best condition of the day. Also, monitor the flowers you wish to dry. Whether they are in your garden or an open field, harvest them when they are at the height of their color and form. For example, cut yellow yarrow heads when its color is most vibrant, before the blooms begin to fade.

This year, I harvested my yarrow in late July.

If you feel as reluctant as I do to cut off the flowers in the middle of summer you may need to leave a few intact! However, keep in mind that they will fade and become dark and ugly by late summer so you may as well cut them in July and enjoy their beautiful color during the dark of winter. Also, this initial cutting often forces a second, smaller bloom in late August.

As another example, cut love-in-the mist when the seed heads ripen and showcase their dark maroon stripes. Cutting these seed heads definitely produces a new round of flowers on the plants, similar to the results of deadheading. Keep records of the dates of your flower harvests so you can begin to anticipate harvesting times in future years. By the time I checked on my tansy this year, the flower heads were already turning to a sickly brown from their glorious yellow and were unfortunately too faded to use. Next year, I’ll remember to check earlier!

DESICCANT DRYING

For preserving the true shape and color of a flower use a desiccant, a granular drying agent. Silica-gel based desiccants can be found at craft stores and are the best. These mixtures can be used time and again and often contain tiny blue beads that lose their color when saturated with moisture. To reactivate the mix for the next round of flower drying, simply heat it in your oven until the blue beads reappear.

These products often include a flower drying chart with information on the drying times of many common flowers. Sand will also work as a desiccant but requires up to three times as much drying time, plus its weight will flatten the petals of some flowers.

After you have some desiccant and have harvested some flowers, trim the stems to two inches or less. Using an airtight container into which you’ve poured a covering of the desiccant and with the stems down, completely cover the flower heads with more desiccant. Seal the container and wait for the flowers to dry. If you are unsure of the length of time, five days is a good

PAGE 9

Article & photos by Sam Stitzer

rule of thumb.

Charts showing the exact drying times for different flowers can be found in books, on-line or as previously mentioned, with the purchased product.

Keep in mind that heavier flowers and/or those with many closely grouped petals, such as peonies, will require much more drying time than a flower with a single layer of petals.

A heavy flower, irregardless of its size, contains more moisture than a lighter one and will require more drying time. As an example, a small grape hyacinth will require a few more days drying time than a light, airy cosmos.

I especially like to dry blue/purple/ pink hydrangeas with desiccant. While most hydrangeas do dry nicely in a vase in which you allow the water to evaporate, use a desiccant to keep the beautiful purple/blue/pink colors intact. Goldenrod loses its beautiful color if airdried, but retains it spectacularly when dried in a desiccant. Almost every flower you can think of can be dried using the method just described.

AIR DRYING There are a number of flowers that only require air drying. Tie freshly picked flowers in small groups by their stems and hang them upside down in a warm, dry area. I tie my flowers to the rungs of inexpensive clothes drying racks that I keep in the attic. Do not bundle too many flowers together – a little breathing room here is a good thing.

Yarrow, tansy, artemesia, larkspur and Japanese lanterns currently hang on my drying rack. There are flowers termed, “Everlastings” which keep their vibrant colors when simply air-dried.

Statice, strawflowers, globe amaranth, celosia, and globe thistle are examples of these.

I also dry some flowers by just laying them in boxes in the attic, although they could also be hung to dry. For Queen Anne’s lace, I cut off the flowers leaving a 1/2” stem, and place them face down in the bottom of a shallow box, making two or three more layers with paper towels in between. I often dry lovein-the mist on newspapers spread on the floor.

MICROWAVE & GLYCERINIZATION

There are two other methods of drying flowers with which I am not yet familiar, but have produced splendid results for others. One method is using the microwave in combination with a desiccant to speed up the drying time and the other method is glycerinization. The object of glycerinization is to keep plants and foliage more pliable and glossy than desiccant drying by replacing the moisture of the plan with glycerine. You can purchase glycerine in any drugstore and there may be other sources as well.

Once you have preserved your flowers it’s time to let your creativity take over. These flowers are perfect as the foundation for beautiful wreaths and arrangements. There are some wonderful books on the subject and my favorite is Harvesting, Preserving & Arranging Dried Flowers by Cathy Miller. It includes a wealth of information on all four methods of preservation and is a wonderful inspiration for your creations. Happy Harvesting!

PennDOT, State Police Team to Make Roads Safer for Halloween Stiff Penalties for Impaired Driving

Impaired drivers, especially those under the legal drinking age, had better beware this Halloween, as PennDOT and the Pennsylvania State Police are teaming to increase law-enforcement patrols throughout the week.

“Many drivers under 21 don’t realize that different rules and penalties apply to them if they are caught drinking and driving,� said PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch. “Putting people’s lives in danger by getting behind the wheel while impaired is senseless and can result in tragedy. It’s just not worth the cost.�

The legal blood-alcohol content in Pennsylvania is 0.08 for motorists over the age of 21. For underage drivers, the BAC limit is 0.02 percent. Penalties for a conviction can include jail time, license suspension and fines of between $500 and $5,000.

“No one should ever get behind the wheel when slightly impaired,� said State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan. “It’s not a question of whether a person is legally intoxicated; it’s a question of whether it is safe to drive after consuming any amount

of alcohol. It’s also important for adults to understand that they can face heavy fines and jail time for supplying alcohol to minors.�

Adults, even parents, who are convicted of knowingly and intentionally supplying minors with alcohol are subject to a fine of at least $1,000 for the first offense and $2,500 for each additional offense, and face up to a year in jail.

The increased DUI patrols, which will include municipal police departments, will be funded in part with federal funds distributed through PennDOT. The extra patrols will continue through Nov. 1.

According to PennDOT data, in 2010 there were 1,241 crashes statewide involving at least one underage drinking driver. On Halloween last year, there were 322 crashes statewide, resulting in nine deaths. Of those crashes, 64 were alcohol related and accounted for six fatalities.

Learn more about impaired driving by visiting www.

DriveSafePA.org. Follow PennDOT on Twitter at www. twitter.com/PennDOTNews.

What’s a ghost’s favorite candy?

BOO-ble gum!

Cash for Candy!

Local dental & orthodontic office takes a stand against sweets this Halloween. For the second year an area dental & orthodontic office is redefining the phrase “put your money where your mouth is.� This Halloween, trick-or-treaters can bring their excess candy to Pediatric Dental Care & Happy Valley Orthodontics in State College and receive $1 per pound.

The dentists here are leading this anti-decay movement by giving away dollars, goodie bags, and a chance to win a $50 Wal-Mart gift card or an iPod Touch in exchange for cavity-provoking candy.

“Ditch the candy, that’s what we’re saying. Visiting your dentist twice a year and brushing daily are great preventive measures, but doing away with excess sweets altogether would really give your teeth a healthy boost,� says Dr. Bob Kilareski from Pediatric Dental Care. “Kids can still have all of the fun of trick-or-treating, and now their piggy banks will benefit as well.�

Haunted Cave

Indian Caverns – Home to Serial Killer Ghost?

In June 1966, 19-year-old Tom was a tour guide at Indian Caverns. No one could have imagined the evil, the lust for murder and blood he desired. In August 1966, a family, whose names have been kept secret, went missing after reporting to family that they were headed for a day trip to tour Indian Caverns. Authorities were able to determine Tom’s involvement in their disappearance and other disappearances over the years.

When questioned, Tom ran into the caverns to escape into a maze of endless tunnels. He was never reported seen again.

During cave renovations in 1986 a large room was discovered, and inside were remains of bodies. Ever since the discovery, tour guides have reported hearing a strange man giving a tour of the caverns, and even hearing screams of his past victims.

The Indian Caverns Haunted Caverns Series is Fridays and Saturdays October 21-22 and 28-29 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. or later. Before you enter the caverns, a video explaining the occurrences, with interviews of past and present guides, will be playing during your wait. Add them on Facebook and get updates, from coupons to the trailer video released every year, for every new theme. Adult admission is $10; children 13 and under $8. Indian Caverns Haunted Caverns Series may NOT be suitable for all children.

The scarecrows have returned to the Penns Valley Elementary and Intermediate School along Route 45. About 20 scarecrows, made by sixth-grade students, are standing guard in front of the school like a row of ghoulish sentries.

The scarecrows are the result of an annual class project which is aimed at building the students’ teamwork skills. Each team of three or four students builds one scarecrow, with some guidance by their teachers and assistants.

The scarecrows are attached to wooden stakes driven into the ground. Each team designs and constructs its own scarecrow. The designs show plenty of creativity and diversity.

Some of them have sports themes, some have a Halloween theme, and some are just downright weird! The students look forward to this project each year. It’s a good exercise to develop teamwork skills which will last them a lifetime.

Eagles Use Ground and State College Getting Hot Mounties Fall to Tyrone Pound Approach to Defeat at Right Time Rival Penns Valley Iron Bell to call Wingate Home for the Year

By Gazette Sports Department

By Les Barnhart

SPRING MILLS – In a game in which you are battling for the Iron Bell, it sure helps to have a “bell cow” back to run the ball for you. Such was the case when Bald Eagle Area traveled to Spring Mills and defeated host Penns Valley, 30-20, last Friday night to lay claim to the Iron Bell for the next year. The most carries that Eagles’ senior running back Cody Ripka had in a game prior to Friday night’s game was 15. Against the Rams, he toted the ball an incredible 44 times and rushed for 220 yards.

The Eagles (3-5), with Ripka carrying the ball that much, clearly used a ball control offense to chew up both yards and most importantly, time. As a team, Bald Eagle Area rushed for 311 yards on 60 carries.

Penns Valley (1-7) opened the scoring in the game with a defensive score in the first quarter. Sam Koser gave his team an early lead after he returned an interception 45 yards for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead.

While Ripka was seemingly doing all the damage for the Eagles, it was their quarterback, Jeff Koleno that capped off four drives with touchdowns en route to his earning Player of The Week honors. Ripka due to his winning the award in week five and already being the running for Player of the Year was not eligible to be named again despite his earning it with his heavy workload.

The first of those four touchdowns came on a short run near the end of the first quarter and knotted the score at 7-7.

Koleno followed that up a 33-yard touchdown run at the end of the second quarter that allowed the Eagles to take a 14-7 lead into halftime. He would end the game with touchdowns on half of his eight rushes in the game while gaining 60 yards.

In the passing game, he completed 6 of 7 for 109 yards and an interception.

Bald Eagle Area got another short touchdown run from Koleno in the third quarter that seemed to provide a commanding lead for the Eagles but the Rams fought back through the air. Penns Valley quarterback Sam Snyder connected with Ian Brown for a 33-yard touchdown pass to trim the lead to 21-13.

Koleno tallied his final touchdown early in the fourth quarter when he broke loose for a 26-yard run to push the Eagles’ lead to 28-13 with just under ten minutes to play.

Penns Valley again mounted a rally and answered with an 8-yard touchdown run from Austin Auman which left them trailing by just a touchdown at 28-20.

Ripka was looking to not only get his own touchdown as well as provide the Eagles a two touchdown lead when he headed toward the endzone late in the game but he fumbled inside the five yard line. The Rams would recover with just over two minutes to play and needing to traverse the length of the field for what could be a game tying score.

The Rams’ drive would never materialize as a holding call in the endzone resulted in a safety for the Eagles to set the final score at 30-20.

Colby Peters led all receivers with 51 yards on three receptions for the Eagles while Ripka added two catches for 36 yards. For the Rams, Koser led the receivers with three catches for 41 yards. Taylor Collison added three grabs as well and they were good for 36 yards while Luke Weaver had 25 yards on three catches respectively.

The Eagles return home this week to face off against a Central team that comes into Wingate on the heels of a 20-19 loss to what was once considered a struggling Huntingdon team. The Eagles shutout Huntingdon a few weeks ago on the turf of Alumni Stadium.

Penns Valley’s road doesn’t get any easier as they travel to Tyrone to battle the high flying Golden Eagles. They posted a hard fought 13-0 win on the road last week at PhilipsburgOsceola.

GAZETTE SPORTS

“Did you know…?” …it takes 3,000 cows to supply the National Football League with enough leather for a year’s supply of footballs.

State College got another 100-yard plus performance from a running back, however, it was not Jack Haffner. Andrew Kelly rushed 11 times for 125 yards and a score to pace the Little Lions in a 24-6 victory over Mid-Penn rival Chambersburg.

Haffner would rush for 86 yards and a touchdown before leaving the game with an undisclosed injury. With his 86 yards, he would eclipse the 1,000 yard rushing mark on the season.

Quarterback Josh Weakland also added a rushing touchdown in the victory, with kicker Josh Clothiaux kicking a 22-yard field goal to round out the Little Lion Scoring.

The homecoming victory gives State College a 3-1 Mid-Penn Commonwealth Conference record, with a crucial game against Conference leader 7-1 Central Dauphin this week at Memorial Field. The Rams are led by do-it-all junior RB/LB Zayd Issah.

The 6’4” 210 pounder has 670 rushing yards this season with seven rushing touchdowns. He also is the team’s leading receiver with 16 receptions for 364 yards and six scores. On top of his offensive prowess, he is second on the team in tackles and sacks.

Locating #1 shouldn’t be difficult Friday night. He will likely be all over the field.

Kickoff is slated for 7 PM in State College this Friday night.

Huntingdon Shocks the Mountain League in Boys Soccer

By Tim Rogers

In a stunning conclusion to the Mountain League, Huntingdon won the boys soccer championship on Monday evening with an improbable victory over perennial power Central Mountain. The Bearcats earned the trip to Mill Hall Saturday evening with another shocking victory as the Bearcats faced the high scoring Mounties from Philipsburg Osceola. The 3-13 boys from Huntingdon jumped on the Mounties with three first half goals and keeper Jacob Finkle shut the Mounties down in the second half by giving up a lone goal to Philipsburg. The Mounties entered the contest with an impressive resume including an 11-3-1 record. They feature an offense scoring more than four goals per game, a defense giving up one goal per game, and a mind-set that had them finally winning the Mountain League title. The Mounties had no answer for Huntingdon and struggled for the entire match. Philipsburg is the number two seed in the District 6 AA playoffs.

Huntingdon completed their season by giving up a first half goal to Central Mountain but clawed back in the second half to beat the Wildcats 2-1 in what may be the biggest upset in the Mountain League in the last decade. With the improbable victory and the championship trophy secured, the Bearcats pack away their cleats and shin guards for the season with a 5-13 record while Central Mountain moves into the AAA District 6 playoffs with a 13-4-1 record and the number three seed.

Bellefonte completed an impressive run in the Mountain League with victories over AAA Mifflin County and wrapped up their season with a 1-0 victory over Penns Valley scoring with six seconds remaining in the contest. With the victory Bellefonte completed their season with an 8-9 record and a single victory shy of earning a bid to the District 6 playoffs.

The footballers from Bellefonte earned a PIAA power rating high enough to put them in the playoff brackets but a district policy prevents sports teams from entering the playoffs with a sub-five hundred record. Coach Martz could only think of the possibilities if there were a few more games on the schedule but he is excited about the potential of next years team and he will have his kids working all winter to get better.

Bald Eagle prepared for a run in the District 6 AA playoffs with a win over Penns Valley on a rain-soaked field in Spring Mills. Because of a schedule change that moved the Eagles first round playoff game to Tuesday evening, Coach Jason Bair decided to play his varsity players for thirty of the eighty-minute match. Thirty minutes was enough as Dan Styles scored in the fifteenth minute and 37 seconds later Doug Turner beat Frankie Randazzo for the game winner in a 2-1 victory. Coach Bair brought on eleven new players and the Eagles held off a frantic Penns Valley challenge in the second half. The Eagles adopted the Italian style of play by packing eight and nine players into their defensive third of the field and just clearing the ball as the Rams attacked.

The Rams out shot the Eagles 19-8 and held a corner kick margin of 10-2 but could only muster a Ben France goal in the 59th minute as the defensive strategy sealed the victory for the boys from Wingate. The Rams completed their season with a 3-12 record and Bald Eagle will take their number seven seed into the playoffs against Philipsburg Osceola.

In what could be a playoff preview in a few weeks, Tyrone made the plays they needed to on a sloppy field to defeat Philipsburg-Osceola 13-0 at Memorial Stadium on Friday night.

Tyrone got the opening kick-off, and went right down the field, driving 80 yards on 13 plays that included 12 consecutive runs. The Mountie defense looked like they had the Tyrone offense stopped inside the 10-yard line, but on fourth down and three from the P-O five, Steve Franco threw in the end zone to a wide open Lucas Woomer to give the visitors a 7-0 lead.

Again, field conditions were the big story, as grass was hard to come by, with both teams having a hard time finding their footing, and timing of plays became more difficult as the game went on. Both teams combined to fumble the ball eight times, with only one of those being a turnover.

Speaking of turnovers, the Mounties were looking for one in the second quarter, and got it, when Aaron McKnight came out of nowhere to intercept a Golden Eagle pass to give P-O excellent field position at midfield. Unfortunately for the Mounties, with the time running down in the first half, and P-O having the ball at the Tyrone six, the Golden Eagles intercepted a pass in the end zone to go to the locker room with a seven point lead.

The score remained 7-0 until midway through the fourth quarter, as Tyrone got the insurance touchdown they were looking for, on a 6-yard scoring run by Christian Getz to make the final score, 13-0. Getz led the Golden Eagles offensively, rushing for 181 yards on 33 carries, while McKnight led the Mounties attack, rushing for 33 yards on seven carries, and also catching two passes for 41 yards.

Philipsburg-Osceola falls to 6-2 on the season, and still have a lot to play for in the final two weeks of the regular season, as they fight for playoff seeding. They’ll visit Huntingdon on Friday.

Red Raiders Can’t Contain Walker as Wildcats Roll

By Gazette Sports Department

Central Mountain junior QB Von Walker got loose for 61-yards on the Wildcats first play from scrimmage Friday night and that would be a theme all night long, as Central Mountain rolled up the Red Raiders of Bellefonte, 39-3. On the night, Walker rushed 19 times for 197 yards and five touchdowns, accounting for every Wildcat offensive score.

Walker scored on touchdown runs of 5, 5, 44, 1 and 34.

Drew Alexander would recover a Jordan Fye fumble and take it 14 yards for a score to account the other Central Mountain Score on the evening. Fye, who rushed for a team high 60 yards on 20 carries, ripped off two long runs on Bellefonte’s first two plays, but was held in check for the most part the remainder of the evening. He completed one pass on the night to Billy Thompson for 12 yards.

Bellefonte was coming off of a short week after a weatherdelayed game against the Mifflin County Huskies on Monday night in Lewistown (42-0 loss). The road doesn’t get any easier for 1-7 Bellefonte, as they play host to 7-1 Clearfield this Friday night at Rogers Stadium. Clearfield features a three-headed monster in quarterback Curtis Frye (579 yards passing and 233 yards rushing) and the running back duo of senior Beau Swales (1069 yards rushing and 110 yards receiving) and sophomore Christian Lezzer (324 yards rushing and 189 yard receiving). The Bison trio have accounted for 33 touchdowns this season.

Kickoff is slated for 7 PM at Rogers Stadium in Bellefonte.

Nittany Lions’ Take Another Step Toward Indianapolis with Win Steelers Strike Early, McGloin Gets First Start; Defense Controls Second Half Play Outslug Cards

By Matt Masullo

By Les Barnhart

While Penn State and Northwestern may not have a storied history or a rivalry such that would make a mild mannered person want to run someone off the road that had an Ohio State or Michigan license plate cover. No, they don’t have that but they are starting to be a must watch game within the confines of the Big Ten Conference.

The two teams met again last Saturday in Evanston, Illinois with the memory of last season’s 35-21 come from behind Penn State (7-1, 4-0 Big Ten) win still burning in the hearts of the Wildcats. Northwestern (2-5, 0-4 Big Ten) came out swinging again with Pennsylvania native, Dan Persa running the offense at quarterback.

Persa and his Wildcats rattled off points last season and built a 21-point first half lead before watching the Nittany Lions roar back with their largest deficit win to give Coach Paterno his 400th win. The senior signal caller was right back at it on Saturday evening as they took advantage of Chaz Powell’s fumble on the opening kickoff and converted it into indigestion inducing 7-0 deficit for Penn State fans.

Thankfully the Nittany Lions didn’t feel the need to spot their opponent a three touchdown lead before getting their offense involved in the game. With Matt McGloin getting his first start of the season, Penn State answered with a touchdown on their next drive with Justin Brown hauling in a 4-yard pass for the score.

The two touchdowns set the stage for the remainder of the first half as the teams combined to score 51 points with Penn State getting a touchdown run from Stephfon Green with seven ticks left on the clock before halftime. The teams exchanged scores in an opening quarter that looked like a video game rather than a Nittany Lion defense that had only allowed a handful of touchdowns in their previous seven games. The late touchdown was Green’s first of the year and gave Penn State a 27-24 halftime lead.

Getting Green, the talented senior tailback that has been in the “dog house” more than in the game this season showed a little of what he can offer if he keeps his focus on football. While he toted the ball just nine times for 33 yards, perhaps taking some carries from sophomore Curtis Dukes, it was Silas Redd that powered the ground game. Redd, also a sophomore, needed only 18 carries to roll for 164 yards and a key third quarter touchdown that provided the Nittany Lions a two score lead.

In his first start of the season, McGloin would also log his first complete game of the season as he took all the snaps for the Nittany Lions and looked good doing so. The junior quarterback opened the game completing 9 of his first 11 games but what was concerning was he went 6 of 15 in his attempts after that. He ended the game completing 17 of 26 passes for 192 yards including a 45-yard touchdown pass to Devon Smith in the first quarter.

McGloin wasn’t the only one to seemingly go cold in the second half. The offense as a whole went conservative around

the same time that the Nittany Lion defense came alive. The defense that allowed 24 points and nearly 300 yards in the first two quarters posted a shutout over the final two while allowing just 125 yards to Persa and the Wildcats. Persa ended the game with 294 yards passing while completing 26 of his 34 attempts.

Penn State made some incredible halftime adjustments on the defensive side of the ball and it paid immediate dividends. They harassed Persa and Kain Colter throughout the game but it wasn’t until the second half that they actually corralled them. They totaled seven sacks in the game and while only they only forced one turnover, it was an interception and came at a key time. The pick came on the opening drive of the second half and was off a tipped pass. The ball, tipped

by Jordan Hill was intercepted by Gerald Hodges. Hodges then returned the ball 63 yards before being tackled at the Wildcats’ 19-yard line. That set up Redd’s touchdown, which came on the first play of the drive, and took the air out of Northwestern’s sails.

Next up for the Nittany Lions is a dangerous Illinois team that comes into Beaver Stadium having dropped two straight following their loss last weekend on the road at Purdue. The Illini spotted their opponent a 21-0 lead and ultimately fell short in their comeback attempt, 21-14. The previous week they lost at home to Ohio State, 17-7. They have a 17-14 win in week three over an Arizona State that has shown they are a pretty decent team and in conference play defeated Indiana 41-20 followed by a high scoring 38-35 win over Northwestern.

Illinois (6-2) returns to Happy Valley after picking up their first ever win here last year. In that win, the Illini dominated Penn State, limiting them to just three first downs in the first half, in the 33-13 victory. Rest assured that isn’t something that the Nittany Lions have forgotten about. The Illini will lean on sophomore quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase to attack the Penn State defense in the same manner in which Persa and Northwestern did in the first half of last week’s game. Scheelhaase may not have an NFL caliber arm but he moves well with the ball and accurate with his short and intermediate routes.

With both teams looking at an off week the following Saturday, this should again be an exciting Big Ten game. For the Illini, they will look to avoid a third straight conference loss while Penn State will look to maintain their lead over Wisconsin (6-1, 2-1 Big Ten) in the Leaders Division following their loss last week to Legends Division leading Michigan State. The road following the off week for Penn State, should they emerge with wins in those final three games, will put the Nittany Lions in the first ever Big Ten Championship Game on December 3rd in Indianapolis.

First things first and that starts with a payback win over Illinois this Saturday. Kickoff for the game is slated for 3:30pm.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are a team rich with tradition. On Sunday, Mike Wallace added his name to the record books when he hauled in a 95-yard Ben Roethlisberger touchdown pass to give the Steelers a 14-0 lead. The play was the longest pass play in team history. The play gave Pittsburgh a lead that they would never look back from, defeating the Arizona Cardinals 32-20 behind yet another impressive performance from Big Ben. He was 26-39 for 361 yards and three touchdown passes.

With the Steelers up 7-0, thanks in part to Roethlisberger’s 12-yard touchdown pass to tight end Heath Miller, they took over after a Cardinal punt deep in Arizona territory.

Facing first and 15 from the Arizona five-yard line, Wallace, who is one of the fastest players in the league, ran right through the Arizona secondary and Roethlisberger heaved the ball deep down the sideline. Wallace pulled the ball in and outran everyone in the building to put the Steelers up.

He finished the day with three receptions for 118 yards.

All was not peaches and cream for the black and gold, as they would see Hines Ward carted off the field with an ankle injury in the second half. His absence paved the way for secondyear speedster Antonio Brown; who saw a team high nine targets, pulling in seven of them for 102 yards, both career highs.

For Arizona, former Johnstown Trojan and Pitt Panther LaRod Stephens-Howling caught a short pass from Kevin Kolb and won a foot race down the sideline for a 73-yard touchdown reception.

The Steelers will likely be playing the game of the week this Sunday at Heinz Field in a matchup with the New England Patriots.

Steelers and Patriots to Tangle at Big Ketchup Bottle

By Matt Masullo

The Pittsburgh Steelers have had their way with nearly every quarterback in the league in recent seasons. However, their record against Patriot quarterback Tom Brady is 1-6.

Last season, they fell to the Pats at home 39-26. In 2004, the Patriots knocked off the Steelers at Heinz Field in the AFC Championship game. Needless to the say, the Pats have the Steelers number when it comes to games at Heinz Field.

The Patriots feature as lethal an offense that the league has, with Brady distributing the football to the likes of Wes Welker, Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. The Steelers defense will have its hands full Sunday, playing without the services of James Harrison and Bryant McFadden, as well as reserve nose tackle Chris Hoke.

The Patriots defense is one that gives up as many points as any team in the league, and features a secondary with more holes than a piece of Swiss cheese. With Antonio Brown coming on as of late to compliment speedsters Mike Wallace and Emmanuel Sanders, the Steelers receiving corps could rival the weapons at Brady’s disposal.

The Steelers need not be looking past this game for their November 6th showdown with archrival Baltimore Ravens next Sunday night. Looking by the Patriots in anticipation of the Ravens game the following week could lead to a two game skid after the Steelers have won their lost three contests.

The game kicks off at 4:15 on CBS Sunday.

The Philadelphia Eagles used the bye week to get healthy and hopefully to build some momentum. This week, they will take on the Dallas Cowboys, who are fresh off of a win against the St. Louis Rams. The Eagles Cowboys rivalry is one of the more bitter rivalries in the league. With both teams generally hyped to make a Super Bowl run every season, this game will feature two teams are scrapping to keep pace with the New York Giants.

The Cowboys have the most criticized quarterback in the league in Tony Romo. Whether he is dating a celebrity (he’s actually married now), tossing late game interceptions, or getting run down by former Cowboys (see Sanders; Deion), he always seems to keep a smile. Romo is actually a good quarterback when you look at the statistics, and he has some nice weapons at his disposal in Jason Witten, Miles Austin and Dez Bryant.

For the Eagles, their weapons have never been in question, with the likes of Michael Vick, LeSean McCoy, DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin. The loser of this game could end up finding themselves on the outside looking in when it comes time for the playoffs. Tensions are sure to be high in the City of Brotherly Love Sunday night at 8:20, with NBC covering the game.

Tang Soo Do originated in Korea about 2,000 years ago. It is designed to repel an attacker rather than harm him. Jeanette said that “The best fight to be in is one you’re not in.” The Tang Soo Do Association is worldwide, with branches in 36 countries.

Local Wrestlers Compete at Lock Haven Tournament

Pre-season wrestling kicked off in the area last weekend with the annual Lock Haven University Fall Classic held on the LHU campus. The tournament was open to wrestlers in grades K-12 and wrestlers came from North Carolina, Connecticut, New York, and Ohio to kick off the pre-season in the heart of the best wrestling in the country.

In one of the best bouts of the day featuring local wrestlers, two of last years state qualifiers met in the championship of the 172# high school division. Jake Taylor of Bald Eagle and Ty Walter of Mifflinburg brought their combined 2010 win total of 69 wins to the mat in Lock Haven as the crowd gathered to watch the battle. Taylor and Walter displayed quickness and balance and at the end of the third period each wrestler managed an escape for a 1-1 tie. The battle was fierce in the one minute overtime as both wrestlers were close to taking the other down for the decisive points but neither wrestler could finish and the bout moved to the 30 second sudden victory ride out. Ty Walter won the important coin toss and chose bottom. If Jake Taylor was to win the match he could not allow Walter to escape for the entire 30 second ride out. All Walter needed was to get up and away from Taylor’s control to win the match. On the whistle Walter exploded from the bottom and Taylor muscled Walter to the edge of the mat where a wild scrambled ensued and the two wrestlers tumbled out of bounds with 14 seconds left in the period. Again, Walter exploded on the whistle and again Taylor muscled Walter to the edge of the mat where they tumbled out of bounds with 4 seconds remaining. One last whistle and the hard earned victory went to Jake Taylor of Bald Eagle in the ride out period.

Look for a rematch of Taylor and Walter several times in the upcoming PIAA season and make sure you don’t miss the epic battle. If this match is any indication of the upcoming wrestling season it may turn into a season to remember for local wrestling fans.

Several other local wrestlers had success in Lock Haven as Titus Tice of Bald Eagle finished fourth in the Junior High division at 138#. Brandon Wilson of Mifflin County finished third at 155#. Michael Rogers of Penns Valley earned a third place finish with a third period fall in the 165# Junior High Division.

Bald Eagle Loses Playoff Heartbreaker In Penalty Kicks

There would be no surprises tonight. There would be Tricks and Treats, burning lungs, aching legs, heartbreak and euphoria. One thing was certain and the point was echoed before the match by coaches from both teams. There are no surprises. In a cruel twist of PIAA fate, Bald Eagle and Philipsburg Osceola faced off in a first round playoff game Monday night in Hollidaysburg. To be sure, the two Mountain League foes knew each other all too well. Hence the comments echoed by the coaches about the lack of surprise.

The familiarity came from a Saturday morning match several weeks ago when the teams battled to a 1-1 tie after playing 120 minutes of hard charging soccer. 120 minutes and no solution. Equally matched on offense and defense. Keepers playing at the top of their game. And after 120 minutes of playoff soccer Monday night there was still no solution. 240 combined minutes and Bald Eagle and Philipsburg Osceola were even. In another cruel twist of fate the two sides trotted to midfield to prepare for the penalty kick tiebreaker.

The first 26 minutes played out like a chess match as both teams countered the others moves with caution. In the 27th minute Bald Eagle pressed the attack and had the Mounties on their heels as they earned back-to-back corner kicks. Denied twice the Eagles found themselves sprinting back to slow a PO quick counter off the second corner kick.

The game immediately settled back into the cautious chess match as the two opponents knew there were no surprises and the battle for possession waged until the half. There were a few shots by both squads but nothing to be concerned about as the coaches plotted their second half strategy. A tweak here and a tweak there but nothing more to do than to send their sides back into the breach against the familiar foes.

As the second half unfolded PO had several opportunities but Ben Leskovansky was up to the task. As the clock slipped away it appeared that someone would need to step up and make a play or that a crucial mistake by one side would win it for the other side. Finally, in the 62nd minute coach Inlow used his secret weapon. Tyler Golemboski grabbed the sphere and launched a huge throw into the Eagles box from the 30 yard line. The secret weapon was no surprise to Coach Bair and his defenders since they had seen it all before and no threat developed from throw-in. In the final 10 minutes Philipsburg started to push attackers forward and had five good chances but could not earn the checkmate they were hoping for against the solid Bald Eagle defenders.

Off to overtime they went and the chess match continued as the legs and lungs started to betray several players who were stopping to stretch out cramps in the middle of the action. Twenty minutes of overtime and still no solution only tired legs and winded athletes. Off to the second overtime they went both in search of the Golden Goal that would make their seasons. In the second overtime, the Eagles started to force the offensive attack and outshot PO 6-3.

Looking for one final trick near the end of overtime, Jared Maurer launched a ball into the Mounties box in search of a streaking LJ Flood. The ball found the foot of Flood as a PO defender arrived and Jay Prentice charged hard off his line. The thunderous collision sent bodies sprawling and the ball spinning to an open Philipsburg net. The tormented ball appeared to be the treat that the Eagles were searching for but an agonized Coach Inlow had a trick up his sleeve as he hopelessly watched the proceedings. The ball appeared to skim the far post and head out of bounds reversing the trick and the treat and breathing new life into the Mounties. Seconds later and the referee’s whistle moved the proceedings to the penalty spot for a final resolution.

Nick Boumheri’s finish was matched by BEA’s Dan Styles in the first round of penalty kicks. In the second round, Brandon Gettig was denied after Tyler Golemboski forced the issue with a net rattling strike. In the end Dustin Fisch of PO stepped to the line and scored demanding an answer from BEA’s Jared Maurer. Jay Prentice was equal to the challenge.

Checkmate, and the celebration was on for the Mounties as Bald Eagle was left to ponder what might have been.

It may be fitting the official score will show as a 0-0 tie in the record books but Philipsburg moves on in the championship bracket and Bald Eagle packs their gear away until next August. No surprises for the players only Tricks and Treats.

Local Photographer Brings Alaskan Wildlife to State

By Chris Hennessey Outreach and Volunteer Coordinator ClearWater Conservancy STATE COLLEGE – As part of its Adventures in Conservation series, ClearWater Conservancy will present wildlife photographer Buck Wilde live as he narrates his photographs in “Voices from the Last Wilderness: A Spiritual Odyssey Among Wolf, Raven, Salmon, and Bear,” November 5 at 7 p.m. at the State Theatre.

Join Buck in Alaska as grizzly bears and white wolves pursue wild salmon from estuaries to headwaters and witness the vitality of these unspoiled ecosystems. The home stretch of a two-year migration at sea lies upstream.

But the salmon have one last gauntlet to run, between the legs of a gathering of hungry grizzly bears and white wolves.

Not all of the salmon will make it home. The bears need high-grade sushi to survive hibernation, and the wolves are amazingly proficient at catching the salmon when trapped in shallows and bottlenecks, even more so than the grizzly bears.

Sam Holderman (a.k.a. Buck Wilde) is a Centre County native and Penn State alumnus.

His passion for the natural world began here along central Pe n n s y l v a n i a’s rocky ridge tops and mountain streams.

A curious wolf approaches Buck Wilde in Alaska.

He’s been leading world-acclaimed filmmakers, and wolves face-to-face, day-after-day, photographers and nature enthusiasts without an aggressive gesture from a into Alaska’s unspoiled wilderness to creature.

“In the Mood” with the Glenn Miller Orchestra

By Karen Dabney

STATE COLLEGE – Band leader Gary Tole put the crowd “In the Mood” for an evening of great music and memories on October 23, when the Glenn Miller Orchestra brought their classic Big Band sound to the State Theatre in State College.

Tole proudly proclaimed, “We are the owners of the very first gold record hit, Chattanooga Choo Choo, and the band launched into a lively rendition of the song.

Tole quickly established rapport with the audience, urging them to “make as much noise as you possibly can.” The audience took him at his word, and with some humorous coaching by Tole, shouted the Pennsylvania 6-5000 vocals.

Many sang along with the songs.

The State Theatre was a return venue for the Glenn Miller Orchestra, but a first for Tole, a Pittsburgh native who became the band leader and music director in January 2011. The concert showcased many of Glenn Miller’s original hits, and others that Tole said were less well known but just as good.

Julia Rich, the female vocalist, sang with a soulful, sensuous, bluesy voice. Brian Hemstock performed with a vocal style strongly influenced

by Frank Sinatra. Together, they joined three other band members to form the Moonlight Serenaders: trombonist Jaime Parker, and saxophonists Kevin Sheehan and Ian O’Beirne.

The music covered the full range of the Big Band sound, from Brian Hemstock’s romantic, wistful version of Handful of Stars, to the Moonlight Serenaders’ exuberantly danceable, playful rendition of Don’t Sit under the Apple Tree with Anyone Else but Me.

The instrumental tunes also ranged widely in mood, from It’s a Blue World without You, to sexy Tuxedo Junction, and the spirited joy of

Everybody Loves My Baby.

Each of the orchestra’s gifted musicians showcased their talents with solo improvisations throughout the evening. Tole treated the audience to some memorable solos on his trombone, including the romantic The More I see You, The More I Want You, and George Gershwin’s poignant Someone to Watch Over Me.

The audience ranged in age from high school students to retirees. Denise Chester of Belleville brought her two high-school-age sons to the concert. “They’re in jazz band in school and play the drums,” she said. “This is the second time they’ve seen Glenn Miller. They’ve played Glenn Miller songs in jazz band. It’s good for them to hear it live.”

Local musician Tommy Wareham, who plays at the American Ale House in State College, said, “I grew up with this kind of music. My dad used to write arrangements for Big Bands. I’ve been to three Glenn Miller concerts, and this is a really good show. The new director is fantastic.”

The final tune, a high-energy performance of In the Mood, brought the audience to their feet. The audience gave the band three standing ovations, winning two encore songs. The last encore, a Big Band version of America the Beautiful, ended the evening on a gentle, reflective note.

“We’re playing the greatest music on the planet,” Tole said. “It’s happy music. It makes you feel good.”

Magical Thinking a Magical Experience

By Pat Park

Cary Anne Spear is the rare type of actress who makes you forget that you are watching an actress. The Year of Magical Thinking, presently at the Studio at the State Theatre, proves this point perfectly.

Joa n Didion’s autobiographical The Year of Magical Thinking deals with the year following her husband’s unexpected death. It is personal and poignant, taking the audience through the phases of dealing with grief. Combining Didion’s talents as a writer, which are considerable, with Ms Spear’s talents as an actor make for an outstanding evening.

The director, Diana Ingersoll-Cope, pointed out in her program Cary Anne Spear, star of notes that since the subject of grieving is so personal, it is impossible to The Year of Magical Thinking try to explain what would be happening on stage. I know that, usually, – playing through November 6 if I am watching a performance that I am going to review, I sneak a at the State Theatre. peek at the audience – this way I will have an idea of how well the cast and crew succeeded with their vision. Somehow looking at the members of this audience felt intrusive.

I found myself saying, to myself, “Now, when this woman is done talking, I want to ask her about…”, then I had to remind myself that this was an actress, on stage, speaking the lines written by another woman.

The Next Stage is to be congratulated for their courage to do shows that are meaningful as well as powerful. I love the Studio. It is small and as a result, very intimate. It is the perfect venue for this marvelous evening.

The Year of Magical Thinking will be at the State until November the 6.

The phrase may have been used before but, you will laugh; you will cry; and, it might change your life.

The Wizard of Oz has been a classic since its release in 1939. Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon has been a must-have on album collectors’ shelves since 1973.

Now you can enjoy them together – on the State Theatre’s 31-foot big screen with state-of-the-art surround sound on Friday, October 28 at 4, 7, 9:30 p.m. and midnight. Tickets are $5; the showing is rated PG-13.

When Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon is played simultaneously with The Wizard of Oz, numerous images from the film appear to be synchronized with the music and lyrics. This effect has often been called Dark Side of Oz or Dark Side of the Rainbow.
