If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too: If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream---and not make dreams your master; If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same:.

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings, And never breathe a word about your loss: If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much: If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!

— Rudyard Kipling

When Penn State football makes the national news, it’s usually something to celebrate. There is no celebrating this week’s news. It is not The Gazette’s place to report or speculate on the outcome of the investigation. We trust that justice will be done.

However, it is The Gazette’s place to help heal this wound by giving concerned neighbors something positive to do.

Consider helping The Second Mile. This outstanding organization has been mentoring children since 1977 and could end up being weakened by the alleged sins of others. On Tuesday I was informed that the Reverse Auction scheduled for Friday, November 11, was postponed – one of their biggest fundraisers. That’s a real shame.

The Second Mile is “committed to helping young people achieve their potential as individuals and community members; and to providing education and support for their parents and youth service professionals.” That’s a cause that should be protected and nurtured.

We urge you to support The Second Mile. Visit their Web site and learn about all the good things they do to support at-risk children. (www.thesecondmile.org) Here are ways you can help: As a mentor or volunteer Volunteers are the lifeblood of The Second Mile. You could serve as a mentor in the Friend Program, assist with Challenge Program registration, share the impact of The Second Mile with a potential donor, serve as a golf-course marshal during a fundraiser, volunteer on a committee, or provide office support. Their small staff would only be able to reach a few children. Their extensive and dedicated volunteer network allows them to serve thousands through Pennsylvania’s seven chapters and an affiliate agency.

Whether you are looking for an occasional volunteer opportunity or would like to make a regular commitment, want to work directly with the children or are interested in assisting in development and administration – please consider donating your time.

With The Second Mile, you will make a difference in the life of a child.

As a donor Gifts are the easiest and most direct way to give to The Second Mile. The donations are fully deductible for individuals who itemize on their federal income tax return. Your gift could be a one-time contribution, a charitable roll-over IRA, an automatic monthly contribution, a charitable trust, or gift annuity. Large or small, your contribution will make a difference – especially as The Second Mile faces the greatest challenge in its nearly 35-year history.

As we go about our lives this week, let us seek out the good in our world – our outstanding athletes and dedicated students, our teachers and mentors, our volunteers and philanthropists – and most of all, our veterans. In this issue you’ll find a number of Veterans’ Day services you could attend, veterans’ service organizations you can join, and charities that channel your donations to benefit our active military, wounded warriors, and their families. Perhaps the simplest and most-appreciated gesture would be to offer your hand and personally thank local veterans for their service.

A friend of mine has a plaque on his wall that reads: “What is a Veteran? A veteran – whether serving on active duty, in the National Guard, a reservist or retired – is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a check payable to: The United States of America for ‘Any amount, up to and including my life.’ This is, and always has been, an honor; and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.”

Centre Count y Schools BEAHS Presents Twelve Angry Jurors

By Pat Park

On November 18th and 19th Bald Eagle Area High School will be presenting Twelve Angry Jurors, a play based on the classic movie Twelve Angry Men.

The action of the play takes place in a jury room as twelve people decide the fate of a 19-year-old man who has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. It looks like an open and shut case until one man stands up to defend the young man against the other jurors.

In the process, as the testimonies are re-examined, tempers are lost and the arguments get heated. The audience learns more about the individual characters who make up the jury.

The result is a touching and dramatic piece of stage work that is very relevant.

The cast will include Kaitlyn Laird, Abbey Crago, Maggie Mehalko, Dale Haagen, Becca Bowling, Samantha Rougeux, Josh Koleno, Richard Spicer, Carol Fayman, Luke Besong, Clifford Smolko, Cody Mandell, Brook Summers, Meghan Shiels, and Kara Hammond. Many of these young actors have been active with the Drama Club and bring several years of experience to the stage.

This is a good time to take a break from the busy-hectic holiday season and support our local high school students

State High Seniors Host 5K Meet the Bellefonte Stock Run/Walk to Benefit Tides Market Game Team!

Bellefonte Drama Club to Present One-Act Comedies Contributed by Emily Bruce

STATE COLLEGE – The State College Area High School Senior Class is organizing A Run to Remember, a 5K run/walk on Saturday, November 19 to benefit Tides, a free support program for grieving children, teens, and their families.

The run/walk will begin and end at the State College Area High School Track. Runners of all levels and walkers are encouraged to participate – to remember someone special or offer support to a grieving family or friend. A special feature of the run/walk is a community mural where those racing or walking can write messages and the name of a loved one they are remembering. Following the race, the mural will be displayed at the track.

The 5K run/walk is being organized by the Class of 2012. “A Run to Remember is a community project that our senior senate feels strongly about and we are excited to start a tradition that won’t be forgotten,” said Senior Class President Marie Matthews. “Those of us who haven’t lost someone close to us can’t know what it’s like, but we can reach out to support programs like Tides and offer our support through this special fundraising race.”

Pre-registration is $20 for adults and $15 for students.

Registration that day is also available 7:45 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. at $25 for all comers. The 5K run will begin at 9 a.m.; walkers will follow. The top male and female runners will win a $75 gift certificate to Rapid Transit, 115 S. Allen St. Registration forms are available at www.tidesprogram.org or at Rapid Transit.

The Class of 2012 is especially encouraging high school sports teams and other school-related teams to run as a group.

To foster team participation, Tussey Mountain Ski Area has donated 20 tubing passes as a prize to the team with the most participants running the race.

The “Run to Remember” is being sponsored by lead sponsors The Shoe Box, 214 E. College Ave., in State College, which is supporting the race timing system and the drawstring bags for all runners, and Rapid Transit, which provided the prizes and the race numbers.

“Community support is the backbone of the Tides program,” said Leslie Finton, Tides executive director. “And the support of these outstanding teenagers at State High is especially touching not only because it will raise much needed funds for our programs but also because it shows a caring and compassion for their peers and younger children who have lost a loved one.”

Recently, Tom Mertz, president and CEO of Lion County KIA, Cheryl Potteiger, Bellefonte School District Superintendent, and Jennifer Brown, High School Principal, met with the students that are participating in the Centre County Gazette Stock Market Game Challenge from EconomicsPennsylvania.

Mr. Mertz told the group, “Lion Country Kia is ecstatic to be able to be part of Centre County’s Stock Market game. The experience the students will acquire in today’s stock market will give them the confidence to invest in the future.”

The students are lead by Rebecca Leitzell, Social Studies/ Cooperative Education Teacher. She shared, “I have had so much fun working with my Cooperative Education students on the PA Stock Market challenge. It has created a friendly competition and has fostered unity in our classroom.”

The students playing in this special competition are Carly Homan, Kendra Benner, Meagan Witter, and Justin Rokavec.

Each shared some information about their experience.

Justin Kokavec shared, “The stock market game is a great opportunity for us to make financially important decisions and observing the results.”

Kendra Benner said, “BUY, BUY, BUY! At first, I thought that we shouldn’t spend all of our money and kind of save it, but the more we get into it, the more money and bigger amount we are spending.”

“It’s a lot of fun, and I’m glad we have the opportunity to participate!” added Meagan Witter.

Carly Homan shared similar thoughts, “The stock market is not only educational but also fun.”

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

Each team is given $100,000 in hypothetical money and invests in the stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. The0 team with the most money at the end of 10 weeks wins. The top 0 three teams are listed here every week.

In addition to The Gazette, Sponsors are Fulton Bank, ProAct LTD, Lion Country KIA, and Videon Central,0 Inc.

Book Researched at Curtin The Second Mile’s Reverse PAWS Purr-sonal Village Drawing Postponed Author Judy Coopey was given a tour of Curtin Village by local resident Tom Vaughn last week.

Her novel on the Johnstown flood, Waterproof, will be out in May 2012.

The Second Mile thanks everyone who has purchased a ticket for The Second Mile’s Reverse Drawing, which was to be held November 11 to support The Second Mile’s programs, services, and mission for children. That mission was in evidence as Second Mile Friend and Friend Fitness events took place at a number of locations across the commonwealth this past weekend. We very much appreciate the continued trust placed in us by the families of all of our program participants. We remain committed to providing our programs and services to children as scheduled.

While The Second Mile continues to provide our programming as scheduled, we have decided, out of respect and compassion for all impacted by the allegations from the Attorney General’s office, to postpone The Second Mile’s Reverse Drawing. In past years, this has been a fun-filled and exciting evening, and we cannot imagine holding this event in the wake of the recent allegations, which have brought shock, sadness, and concern to all associated with The Second Mile organization.

There are few authors who can take us back to a woman’s place in history as well as Anita Diamant. Her best selling novel, The Red Tent, took us to the Old Testament; her latest novel, Day After Night, takes us to 1945 to a British prison in what would become Israel, a camp for Jews who had escaped the Nazi in Europe, but did not have “legal� papers.

The novel is told primarily through the voices of four young women, Shayndel,

2782 Earlystown Rd, Rte 45 | Centre Hall, PA 16828 | 814 364-2176

Leonie, Tedi, and Zorah.

Shayndel was from Poland where she had fought along with other youth as part of the Zionist underground movement. She had watched as her friends were killed.

Beautiful Leonie was from Paris. By the time her story is revealed, we have gotten to know her, which makes the events even more horrific.

Tedi was a tall, blond Dutch Jew. Her appearance probably would have helped to hide her. Her betrayal was also by someone that she

trusted.

Zorah was a concentration camp survivor. The numbers on her arm made her shame more evident. The other women carried their shame inside.

Each woman had to handle the guilt of being alive when so many of their friends and family had been put to death, as well as living in a camp that was not too much better than what they had left back in Europe. Food was scarce, the fences were barbed-wire, privacy was almost

nonexistent, and the language barriers existed not only with the British, who were in charge, but among the prisoners as well.

This is a powerful story with unforgettable characters. A short review cannot begin to capture the richness of these women and the people around them.

Diamant develops characters that stay with you long after the book has been put back on the shelf. The circumstances of this story are certainly not ones that have been part of my life, but stories of great courage and the strength of the human spirit make us all feel better about being human.

Day After Night is the perfect title for Anita Diamant’s newest book.

Farmers Market Moves Indoors Article & photos by Sam Stitzer

SPRING MILLS – Nittany Shop With Heart opened its first indoor fall Farmers Market on November 5 at the Old Gregg School in Spring Mills. The market featured foods from farms in the Penns Valley and Centre County areas, especially allnatural and organic varieties. The gym at the Old Gregg School was filled with shoppers looking for fresh vegetables, home-canned, and baked goods.

I spoke to Farmers Market manager, Leslie Zuck (rhymes with book), who represents Pennsylvania Certified Organic. She presented a host of naturally and organically grown vegetables, including celery, peppers, squash, and Brussels sprouts (on the stalk), grown at Common Ground Farm, near Colyer in Potter Township. Her organization certifies organic farms and growers in Pennsylvania as well as in several adjoining states. They are a non-profit group, accredited by the USDA, and funded by farmers who wish to become certified organic producers.

Dible Diversified Agriculture sold a line of aquaponic lettuce and herbs grown in water tanks. The plants are naturally fertilized by the waste of fish living in the tanks. Dible Diversified Agriculture is located in Milroy.

Penns Valley Student Holds Mini Arts Fest Trout Unlimited Members Receive Expert Tips, Advice Article & photos by Sam Stitzer

The Old Gregg School was the site of a mini arts festival titled Art of the Valley.

This event was the senior project for Penns Valley High School junior, Maggie Lynch.

The festival was from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on November 5, and featured works by many local artists. Media included paintings, photographs, engravings, and more.

Maggie contacted local artist Annie Hannah Mancini, who recruited several of her friends in the artist community to contribute items for the show. A silent auction was held for the items, and several vendors were selling items as well. An admission charge of $3 was collected for attendees, and all proceeds were donated to the Penns Valley HOPE Fund.

Maggie’s grandmother, Joann Stake, sold colorful tie dyed T-shirts that Maggie made. Among the silent auction items were photographs by Will Lush, Meagan Jepson, Harriet Rosenberg, Maggie Lynch, Jay Lynch (Maggie’s father), and LaRae Fultz. Paintings

by Naomi Olsen Zelman and Ken Hull, and an engraving by Paul Houser, were also auctioned off.

A cupcake decorating station was set up for a children’s activity, and live music was provided by local musicians and groups during the event. Singer and guitarist, Gary Gyekis, and guitarist Anders Olsen provided mellow ambience to begin the festival. The band Marty Black and the Tree Stumps shifted the mood into high gear with some head banging, high-decibel rock. They also

performed a nice cover of Eric Clapton’s ballad, Tears in Heaven. Later, the contemporary Christian sounds of the group Glorified filled the air.

Art of the Valley was a very enjoyable event for everyone in attendance, and it provided a good display of the artistic talents of folks in the Penns Valley area. Raising money for the HOPE Fund was the icing on the cupcake!

The local chapter of Trout Unlimited featured Fly Fishers Paradise Fly Shop owner, Steve Sywensky, at their November meeting.

Steve enlightened those attending on how the latest teen fad of wearing feathers in their hair has impacted fly tiers. It seems the very hackle (feathers from the neck or saddle of a bird) are used for both fashion and fly tying.

This latest fad has caused the prices of saddle hackle to skyrocket from what once may have cost $30 to a new high of up to $300 for certain species of hackle.

Local Trout Unlimited President Judy Sittler, reminds us that the mission of Trout Unlimited is to conserve, protect and restore our coldwater fisheries and their watersheds Local president Judy Sittler and to educate presented ideas about preserving the public on and protecting our streams.

Fly Fishers Paradise Fly Shop owner, Steve Sywensky, showed the members how to tie flies and spoke of the feather shortage. what they can do to help. The simple clearing of brush overhanging streams for aesthetics can considerably impact a stream. The end result may look nice to our eye but it removes cover for fish, allows sediment from erosion of the newly bare earth to enter the stream and can even allow the stream temperature to rise which greatly impacts all aquatic life.

Anyone interested in Trout Unlimited and how they may get involved may either check out the national website at www.tu.org or contact Judy Sittler locally by e-mail jlsittler@comcast.net. Judy will be glad to answer questions and even “hook” you up with a membership application which presently has a discounted first year for new members.

The Estate Tax Is Not the Only Consideration in Estate Planning

By The American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys www.aaepa.com • blog.aaepa.com

According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, only the wealthiest one out of every 400 estates owed an estate tax in 2009. For those who may be subject to estate tax, a properly-drafted estate plan can help reduce or eliminate estate taxes.

It can also help to minimize capital gains and income taxes. But estate planning is about more than reducing taxes — it’s about planning for life.

When you focus on life planning, you can use estate planning tools to your benefit today, and your heirs’ benefit in the future. Proper estate planning can help you: • Organize your assets to minimize the impact of disability • Avoid probate • Minimize income taxation • Protect your assets from creditors • Ensure your children’s futures • Instill your values in your descendants

Proper planning also comes with the emotional benefit of knowing that your affairs are in order and that there will be an orderly transition for you, your spouse or partner, and your loved ones at your death.

One of the biggest advantages to creating a formal estate plan is that it can be customized to virtually any circumstance or desire that you have. No matter how simple or complex your family dynamics are and no matter the size of your estate, you can arrange for the disbursement of your assets exactly according to your wishes.

Another consideration is how your family and loved ones will deal with something such as an incapacity. Legal estate planning tools such as a Health Care Durable Power of Attorney or a General Durable Power of Attorney can ensure that someone you trust can make decisions on your behalf if you become disabled. This life-planning tool also ensures legal and ethical order for your family and loved ones, something that is welcome during a health crisis.

One of the most common and flexible estate planning tools is the Revocable Trust. This tool can keep your affairs private after your death by avoiding the need for Probate. It can also address matters such as an incapacity and help you reinforce the values that you’ve instilled in your loved ones by using Trust income to encourage or discourage heirs’ behavior.

Clearly, a properly drafted estate plan is more of a life plan than a tax-savings tool, and there are many more planning options that we have not mentioned here. It’s important to consult with an estate planning attorney to discuss your particular circumstances and to draft a sound estate plan.

Winter Craft Market A 36-Year Holiday-Shopping Tradition in Centre County

By Brian E. Bassett

This year’s Winter Craft Market will take place at the Mount Nittany School in Boalsburg, Saturday, December 3, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday December 4, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Three- to four-thousand attendees are expected; with upwards of 75 exhibitors.

The WCM offers work by artisans with mastered, specialized skills – from gemstone, gold and silver jewelry to holiday tree ornaments, paintings to pottery, fiber, wood, and photography. Items are made in the USA, by Central Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen members. While comprising mostly guild members there is always room for emerging, non-guild artisans with varied, creative, high quality work.

The jury process follows the state standards for master craftsmen and is endorsed by the State Guild.

Craftsmen must produce their work in-total. No commercially produced merchandise, items assembled from commercially available parts or plans, or kits and items cast from commercial molds are acceptable.

The WCM Committee is a sub-group of the CPGC, which itself is a chapter of the PA Guild of Craftsmen. It is a non-profit organization dedicated to excellence in craftsmanship and arts education. Once show expenses are met, remaining funds are donated to local organizations

The Central Pennsylvania Guild aspires to promote and encourage the practice of fine craftsmanship through education and presentation, discovering craft workers, and making their skills known to the public. The CPGC is a community of creative individuals working in the contemporary and traditional crafts, striving to attain the highest standards of design and craftsmanship.

The first WCM show took place at Gettysburg College in

August, 1974, involving all PA Guild chapters. As local-chapter membership increased, shows were held in the State College area. Early shows featured 25 to 30 artists. Originally the WCM was called the Harvest of Crafts and took place November weekends at the Pugh Street Days Inn, the Friends School and the showroom at Leitzinger Imports; and in 1977 at the State College Westerly Parkway High School.

Be sure to stop at the Mount Nittany Middle School in Boalsburg December 3 and 4. Many residents look forward to cutting their tree and visiting the WCM the first weekend in December. Loyal shoppers report that they find a way to “fit it all in� among the many area shopping events.

Shoppers can make their own holiday craft this year at the new, Make-your-Own Crafts Corner.

The Penn State chapter of the PA Art Education Association will show kids and adults how to make and take home special holiday crafts.

WCM will work with the State College Food Bank this year for the first time. The State College Food Bank will man the front reception area to greet shoppers and accept donations.

Holly Serface: Serving Centre Country Veterans

By Brian E. Bassett

Holly Serface was born in Bellefonte while her father served in the United States Navy. After moving from Pennsylvania to California and back to Pennsylvania, her family relocated to Miami, where she attended grades three through nine.

Grades 10 through 12 were spent at Bellefonte Area High School. She completed her undergraduate work at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, and earned her masters degree at Troy University in Pensacola.

Serface, an Army retiree, now serves as the director of veterans’ affairs for Centre County; headquartered in the Willowbank Government Building on Holmes Street in Bellefonte.

Her primary responsibility is to file federal compensation and pension claims for veterans, their spouses, widows, and dependents. She completes all state paperwork for veterans in Centre County; and takes care of county benefits for veterans and widows.

It is common for the VA office to work hand-in-hand with the offices of aging, adult services; and with any other social-service agency to which she can refer veterans to receive compensation for which they are eligible. The State

College VA Clinic and Altoona Veterans’ Hospital work together referring and receiving referrals from these other agencies. “When a veteran walks into any of our offices an assessment is usually carried out to determine their eligibility status,� Serface said. “And that information is used to get the best service for each individual.�

She explained that her greatest reward comes from seeing each veteran receive all the rights and benefits for which they qualify in the system. This validates her daily efforts on their behalf. The same was true when she spent five years in Pensacola working for the Navy – helping young sailors and marines to get their degrees.

When Holly first arrived at the VA Clinic three years ago, area veterans had no transportation to and from the Altoona Veterans’ hospital. She took it upon herself to research the Disabled American Veterans Grant Programs, contacted the district office in Camp Hill, and The new DAV van was dedicated September 11, 2011.

identified a program that would enable her to procure a brand-new van. She then advertised to raise $20,000 with the understanding that the DAV would kick in the rest.

Not only did the DAV do that, they agreed to maintain the vehicle title, inspection costs, maintenance; and provide a government gas card. All this translated to zero cost for the county – and first-time-ever transportation for veterans to and from Altoona Veterans’ Hospital.

The Retired Seniors Volunteer Program members field calls, contact and schedule drivers – and the van “lives� in the Willowbank parking lot. Because this is not actually a county program, it thrives under the purview of the DAV, with RSVP assistance. “Every day, thank a veteran.� Holly admonished. “The veterans’ courage, tremendous sacrifices, and sincere commitment deserve our deepest appreciation and respect for ensuring the freedom and liberties that we treasure every single day.�

Dominating Second Half Gives Eagles a Curtin Bowl Win

By Les Barnhart

Bald Eagle Area and Bellefonte got together again in Wingate last Friday night to renew a rivalry that dates back to 1956 when the Red Raiders posted a 19-6 win over their neighbor. Plenty of things have changed in the fifty-five years since that game was played. Things like fields for example.

The Eagles home field, which at one time would have been a mud topped track of land with lines across it by the end of the season, is one of the finest surfaces in the county. One thing that hasn’t changed is that when the two teams meet, it remains something special.

The Eagles (4-6) The Curtin Bowl came into the game looking to take back the Curtin Bowl from their opponent after having it for two years prior to last season’s 32-14 loss at Bellefonte’s Rogers Stadium. The Red Raiders (1-9) came into Eagle Valley looking to end the season on high note while building toward next season after a frustrating season for head coach Duffy Besch.

The teams nearly played to a draw in the first half with Bald Eagle Area drawing first blood with their powerful running game led by Cody Ripka. It would be Ripka that

gave the Eagles a 7-0 lead with his touchdown run in the first quarter on a 9-yard run. While the Eagles were able to move the ball against the Bellefonte defense, the Red Raiders would not yield another first half point.

Bellefonte would look to draw even with the Eagles after Malik Breon tore off a dazzling 36-yard run that ended with him in the endzone.

With Adam Johnson’s point after kick being blocked, the Red Raiders trailed 7-6 when the teams headed to halftime.

With the way the teams played in the first half, it was hard to believe that the touchdown in the second quarter would be the only points they would score in the contest but the Eagle defense stepped up their performance in the second half to post a shutout. The Eagles offense on the other hand, continued to lean on their offensive line as they hammered the ball at the Bellefonte defense, gaining 270 yards on 48 carries.

Bald Eagle Area scored their first of two decisive third quarter touchdowns midway through the quarter when Ripka tallied his second of three touchdowns in the game. A little less than three minutes later, a drive set up by a fumble recovery

by Colby Peters, Ripka again found the endzone on a 5-yard touchdown run that gave the Eagles a 21-6 third quarter lead.

The fourth quarter again saw the Eagle defense stymie the Bellefonte offense. The Red Raiders managed three first downs in the second half after moving the ball in the first half. Turnovers were, as always, critical with Bald Eagle Area forcing four turnovers (two interception and two fumbles) in the game while holding the Bellefonte passing game and quarterback

Jordan Fye to 89 yards passing. Fye completed 13 of 25 pass attempts in the loss.

If Bellefonte had thoughts of mounting a late comeback, they were thwarted about four minutes into the fourth quarter when Ripka ran to his right, stopped and tossed a 28-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Kobularcik. The touchdown would spell the end for Red Raiders’ tenure with the Curtin Bowl.

Ripka ended the game with 157 yards on 24 carries with three rushing touchdowns and the 28-yard touchdown pass.

Malik Breon led the Red Raiders attack with 86 yards on 12 carries. He also had 7 passes for 50 yards.

Rams Post Thrilling Victory in Season Finale

Eagles Fall in Primetime to Da Bears

Ravens Nip Steelers with Late TD

SPRING MILLS – The Penns Valley Rams did what every team wants to do; win their season finale. It makes for a better offseason when your last game is a win. On Friday, the Rams won and did so in exciting fashion as they edged Mount Union, 28-27.

Sam Snyder, playing in his last game at Penns Valley, made the most of it in front of the home crowd. He rushed for three touchdowns including a 7-yarder that would stand up as the game winner and threw a touchdown pass to Derek Dashem.

In a game that featured thirty-four combined first downs, over 600 yards of offense (including 327 for Penns Valley) and seven turnovers. Five of those turnovers were forced by the Trojan defense but in the end, it was a bad exchange on the snap of the potential winning two-point conversion that ultimately decided the game.

The Rams (2-8) opened the scoring with a 46-yard Snyder run in the first quarter. Mount Union responded with a 32-yard scoring strike to Dylan Smith to take a 7-6 lead midway through the second quarter. The Rams then ripped off two straight touchdowns to take a 21-7 halftime lead.

Mount Union (4-6) stormed back in the second half with three touchdown runs by Kia House. The first two knotted the game at 21-21 with just over ten minutes to play in the fourth quarter.

Penns Valley took a 28-21 lead with 5:49 to play when Snyder rumbled in from seven yards out. The Trojans wouldn’t go away quietly as House would find the endzone one last time with: 22 to play. The Trojans opted to go for the win on the two point conversion but the snap to quarterback, Kelvin Abrashoff, who was in shotgun formation was mishandled and subsequently recovered by the Rams’ Scott Johnson.

Snyder, a candidate for the Gazette’s Player of the Year, went 10 of 21 for 124 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. He also rushed for 133 yards on 17 carries. Austin Auman had 15 rushes for 81 yards for the Rams. Luke Weaver had four receptions for 29 yards to lead the Rams receivers.

Matt Forte gouged the Philadelphia Eagles defense for 133 yards on 24 carries, and despite losing two fumbles; his Chicago Bears defeated the Eagles 30-24 in Monday Night Football. Despite being one of the most criticized quarterbacks in the league, Jay Cutler was an efficient 18/32 for 208 yards and two touchdowns, and his five-yard touchdown pass to former Vanderbilt teammate Earl Bennett gave the Bears a 27-24 lead early in the fourth quarter.

For the Eagles, they had their chances to strike while the iron was hot, but some costly errors, including a Michael Vick interception and a DeSean Jackson fumbled punt, put a halt to any momentum they could build upon. LeSean McCoy scored on a 33-yard run in the third quarter, which was his eighth consecutive game scoring a touchdown, tying Hall of Famer Steve Van Buren’s club record.

For the Eagles, their situation isn’t getting any better.

After hosting Kevin Kolb (who may not play due to turf toe) and the Arizona Cardinals, they will face the NFC East leading New York Giants and then host Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. At 3-5, the Eagles are three games behind the Giants and 1-2 in the division. They will face a long road to making the playoffs with four teams not tied for or holding a division lead, having better records right now.

Andy Reid’s seat may not be the hottest one in Pennsylvania, but his has to be in the conversation.

In Week 1, the Ravens dominated the Steelers from whistle to whistle. In Week 9, they got them just before the final whistle, as a 92-yard drive orchestrated by Joe Flacco and company, culminated with a 26-yard Flacco to Torrey Smith touchdown pass with just eight seconds remaining, as the Ravens defeated the Steelers, 23-20.

The Ravens took the opening kickoff, and appeared to go up 7-0 on their first play when Ray Rice broke through the line of scrimmage and raced for an apparent score. However, Smith was called for holding on the play. The Ravens would end up getting points on the drive, as Billy Cundiff would knock home an 18-yard field goal to give the Ravens an early 3-0 lead. The Steelers would answer with a Shaun Suisham 36-yard field goal. Cundiff and Suisham would exchange field goals throughout the second quarter as the Ravens would head to the half with a 9-6 lead.

In the third quarter, the game started to open up, with Ray Rice scoring from four yards out. Trailing by ten points in the fourth quarter, Rashard Mendenhall scored from one yard out to cut the deficit to three points. Ben Roethlisberger would then find Mike Wallace from 25 yards out to give the Steelers a 20-16 lead.

The Ravens would then go on to march 92 yards, converting several third downs along the way. Smith dropped a would be touchdown from Flacco two plays prior to his go-ahead score.

The Steelers-Ravens rivalry is always a hard hitting affair and this game proved no different. Hines Ward left the game after a helmet-to-helmet hit from Ray Lewis. Ryan Clark will likely be getting a fine or two from the commissioner’s office this week for a couple of questionable hits on “defenseless” receivers. The surprise on the night was that James Harrison, who account for three sacks, did not get flagged for any unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.

This week, the Steelers travel to Cincinnati to take on the division leading Bengals.

State College Finishes Regular Season Strong, Heading to Playoffs

By Gazette Sports Department

Jack Haffner rumbled for 237 yards on 29 carries and four scores, as the Little Lions defeated Central Dauphin East 34-27 last Friday in Harrisburg. It was Haffner’s third game on the season in which he eclipsed the 200 yard rushing mark. It was also his seventh game on the season where he rushed for at least 100 yards. He finished the regular season with 1,431 yards on 180 carries and 19 rushing touchdowns.

The Little Lions finish the regular season with a 5-4 record.

Unlike most local teams, the Little Lions only played nine games during the season due to a cancellation of their game against St. Anthony’s (New York) in week two due to unruly weather.

Haffner and company will enter this week’s District 6-9-10 Class AAAA playoff as the number four seed, traveling to the number one seed Dubois on Friday evening.

Dubois finished the regular season with an 8-2 record. The Beavers are led by senior quarterback Sean Sleigh, who has tossed for 1,876 yards, 17 touchdowns and nine interceptions on the season. He averages 188 yards per game passing. He has also rushed for 289 yards and five scores. Their leading rusher is junior Garrett Brown, who has rushed for 664 yards and five touchdowns. He has also account for 187 yards receiving. Max Hine is the Beavers leading receiver, pulling in 49 passes for 625 yards and nine touchdowns. The Beavers are as balanced as a high school team comes when it comes to the offensive side of the ball. They average a little over 200 yards per game passing and 170 yards per game rushing the football.

For the Little Lions, the aforementioned Haffner leads the charge with over 1,400 yards rushing. Quarterback Josh Weakland has thrown for 894 yards on 82 completions, with four touchdowns and eight interceptions. Darian Herncane is the Little Lions leading receiver, catching 18 passes for 245 yards and two touchdowns.

The first round District 6 Class AAAA matchup kicks off Friday night in Dubois at 7 PM.

Eagles to Take on Cards, Minus a Former Eagle

By Matt Masullo

When Kevin Kolb was traded when the lockout lifted, he more than likely had his Week 10 matchup circled, as he and his new Cardinal teammates would be traveling to Philadelphia. With Kolb’s play in question, and a turf toe injury likely to keep him out yet another week (he missed Week 9 with the injury), he will visit the City of Brotherly love, as a spectator.

The Cardinals are struggling in virtually every statistical category this season, ranking at the bottom of the league in passing and rushing yards per game offensively, and giving up the third most passing yards per game defensively. That should bode well for the Eagles, as they need a “pick me up” game. Facing a Swiss cheese defense in Arizona should help the Eagles after last week’s ineptitude to move the football.

Defensively, they will face John Skelton at quarterback. He does still have some weapons in Larry Fitzgerald and Beanie Wells, but offensively, the Cardinals struggles are well documented.

Fitzgerald, one of the top three receivers in football, has only 38 receptions on the season. Surprisingly, that is only four more than the teams second leading receiver, Early Doucet. For the Eagles, LeSean McCoy has a shot at history if he were to score a touchdown in his ninth consecutive game. He tied Steve Van Buren’s team record last week in scoring in his eighth straight contest.

Fox will have coverage of the game at 1 PM.

Steelers & Bengals Vying for Playoff Spot, in Week 10?

By Matt Masullo

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals will meet in Ohio this week, in a matchup that could go a long way in deciding which team will have the opportunity to head to the playoffs this season. With the Ravens sweeping the Steelers, they have the upper hand on the AFC North heading into the second half of the season. However, the Bengals are in first place in the division, and may have something to say about crowning the Ravens 2011 AFC North Champs. Before they take on the Ravens, they will host the Steelers this weekend at Paul Brown Stadium.

For the Steelers, the season has been one of ups and downs. With two losses to the Ravens, one could say that the season is already lost. If the Steelers look to get any sort of revenge this year, they will need to make a push to get to the playoffs in hopes of facing their bitter rivals. They will likely be playing with yet another skeleton crew of players this week.

Linebacker LaMarr Woodley will be out again, and it is likely that James Farrior, Hines Ward and Emmanuel Sanders will miss this week’s game as well, all nursing injuries. The black and gold have been getting some inspired play from second year wide receiver Antonio Brown, who is coming off of consecutive 100 yard receiving games.

For the Bengals, they are led by a pair of rookies in quarterback Andy Dalton and wide receiver A.J. Green. The duo have been off to a great start this season, and are playing as if they are in their third or fourth seasons. Their defense has been solid this season as well.

Rarely does a Week 10 matchup have playoff ramifications, but this game has all of the makings of January football.

Kickoff is slated for 1 PM on CBS on Sunday.

Games of the Week

The rules for Pigskin Pick ’Em are simple. Anyone can play and all you need to do is pick the most winning teams each week. Ties will be broken by the tiebreaker and the winner for the week will have their name entered as one of the finalists that will be selected to compete in the playoffs for the Grand Prize at the end of the season.

How do you play? That’s simple too. Just mail in the contest form with your picks circled as well as clearly indicated tiebreaker answer and make sure they are postmarked before the cutoff. Then you sit back and watch the games, we check your picks and if you are the top prognosticator that week, you get some cool prizes as well as chance to play for an even bigger prize that will be sure to make your house the place to be for the Super Bowl.

While the rules are simple, there is ONE rule that should help to get people interested. That rule is that a person can only win ONCE per season. Once you are in the playoffs, you can continue to submit picks but if your picks are the best in another week, you will not be eligible to win the weekly prize awards.

So sharpen your pencils and show off your football knowledge!

Mountain League Soccer Completes Season

Smoke Catching Fire at Ideal Time

Local Wrestlers Compete at Clearfield Fall Brawl

The Mountain League boys soccer season ended quickly as Philipsburg Osceola was ousted in a second round playoff game losing to Somerset 3-1. Juniata and Central Mountain also earned playoff spots but were bounced in first round playoff games with Juniata losing to Somerset 1-0 and Central Mountain losing to Hollidaysburg 4-1.

The big announcement at seasons end is the retirement of long time head coach Abe Stauffer as Central Mountain head coach. Coach Stauffer has been the Wildcats coach since the inception of the program and has coached at the high school level for 33 years. Following is a brief recap of the three local teams that compete in the Mountain League.

With two races left in the Chase for the Cup, Tony Stewart is doing everything in his power to make the 12 driver playoff a two-man race. Stewart won his fourth race of the Chase and cut point leader Carl Edwards lead to just three points heading into Phoenix this coming weekend.

Stewart led a race high 173 of 334 laps. Rounding out the top five were Edwards, Kasey Kahne, Matt Kenseth and Greg Biffle.

With only three races left in the Chase, the current standings heading into this weekend’s race at Phoenix are as follows:

Local wrestlers from Bellefonte, Bald Eagle, and Penns Valley competed at the Clearfield Fall Brawl on Saturday.

This annual Fall tournament draws wrestlers from all over the state and provides a good preseason warm-up for the upcoming scholastic season that kicks off with the first official high school practice on November 18, 2011.

Tyson Stapleton of Bald Eagle earned a first place finish in the Junior High division at 130#. Brandon Wilson of Mifflin County finished third in the 152# Junior High division. Senior Brad Anstine of Philipsburg Osceola finished first in the 185# high school division and freshman Michael Rogers of Penns Valley earned a second place finish in the high school division in the 185# weight class.

Preseason tournaments continue with upcoming events at Milton, Lycoming College, Tyrone, and State College.

By Tim Rogers

Bald Eagle The kids from Wingate had one of their best seasons in the programs history and one that Coach Jason Bair thinks can be duplicated next year. Bald Eagle earned a #7 seed in the District 6 playoffs and lost in PK’s to Philipsburg to end the season. They completed the year with a 9-8-1 record and Coach Bair expects a large group of returning letter winners to duplicate this year’s success in 2012. The Eagles also have a large group of Junior High players that will move up to varsity next year giving Coach Bair a roster of more than 30 players.

Bellefonte The Red Raiders completed their season a victory away from the playoffs with an exhilarating 1-0 victory over Penns Valley in the finale scoring the game winner with six seconds remaining in the match. Coach Scott Martz said it was a great way to end the season although he was disappointed that his team missed the playoffs. Coach Martz is looking forward to off-season training and next year he will welcome back the nucleus of this year’s team and will be looking to earn a District 6 playoff spot.

PennsValley Penns Valley had a tough season finishing 3-12 and just missing the playoffs. As the only A school in the Montain League, the Rams earn a higher power rating with victories over AA and AAA teams and occupied the number four seed until the final week of the season when United overtook them. The Rams had an interesting lineup comprised of eight seniors and thirteen freshmen. Many of the seniors spent a large part of the year sidelined with injuries and that allowed many freshmen to earn valuable playing time at the varsity level. Coach Scott Case will field a young team next year and many of the young players will come to the field with varsity experience earned in the 2011 season.

The Mountain League All Star banquet will be held at Tyrone High School on November 12th and the list of All Stars will be published next week.

“Penciwhirl” By Bob Baumback

Angelic voices, poetic language, vivacious ladies, and elegant musicians, were all at The University Club last week when Tempest Productions presented La Scafetta: The Foundling Drawer.

The mood was set as the audience walked into a drawing room that could have existed in the sixteen hundreds. To add to the atmosphere, Melissa Foge and Angela Girvan on double bass and flute, respectively, were playing softly.

These musicians were joined by the cast of young girls with exceptional voices. Because of the intimacy of the room, each voice was clear and bell-like. I was impressed by the alto standing in front of me. If I read my program correctly, she was 15-year-old Michaella Francis. She was just the beginning of what turned into an exciting evening.

The small venue made the audience feel as if they were being entertained in the parlor of the orphanage and were given inopportunity to meet the head violin instructor, the students, and the three women who took care of them.

It is hard to get everyone into this review and I was so impressed with everyone. Elaine C. Meder-Wilgus played Maestra Teresa and has to be mentioned. Her role was rather large and I really appreciated how easily understood she is as an actress.

Grace McDill, the voice student Serafina, had several solos that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand at attention. The picture of her standing in her period gown in front of a formal window will stay with me for a long time.

Araellia Lopatic played Gabriella as a young girl and Lissa Ramirez was the young adult Gabriella. This was the orphan violinist that the story revolved around. The poise of these two

All Entertainment starts at 10:30pm

young actresses is astonishing. Ms Ramirez has great stage presence; her fire and personality made it possible to understand how she would feel confined by the cloistered life.

The real credit for the evening goes first of all to Mary Rohrer - Dann for writing such a touching series of poems.

The women were not only women of their time but timeless in their concerns. To take us back to baroque Venice and make us feel at home shows talent - and homework.

As important to the evening was the direction of Cynthia Mazzant. Ms Mazzant took the poems, turned them into a verse play and found a cast that could speak the lines with a naturalness that was beautiful. I also loved the use of the acting area, even “back stage” felt natural. It really did feel as if we were being entertained in a drawing room in Venice in 1700.

Because of the intimacy of the room, and because the show had a very limited run, many of you had to miss the performance – each night was sold out. I can only hope that there are plans to repeat the experience. This is local theatre at its best.

Tribal Belly Dance is performed as a group improvisation, without choreography.

“Within one song, one person is the leader and is cueing everyone else from one move to the next,� Bishop said. “The leader changes throughout the course of the song....The more you dance together, the more you get a feel for what’s coming.

Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels Rocked and Rolled through State College Article & photos by Sam Stitzer

STATE COLLEGE – Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels rolled into State College on Friday, November 4. The famed 1960s rocker and his band played a concert at the State Theater to a very appreciative crowd of more than 100 people.

Ryder is well known for pounding out high energy hits like Devil With a Blue Dress On/Good Golly Miss Molly, Sock It To Me Baby, and Jenny Take a Ride.

Mitch’s show was a tour de force of all these favorites and other Detroit Wheels songs, plus tributes to other artists.

Ryder sang When You Were Mine, a song he recorded in 1983 on an album with John (Cougar) Mellencamp. His tribute to the late, great Jimi Hendrix came in the form of Hendrix’s ballad, The Wind Cries Mary, and was quite touching.

Ryder came on stage to thunderous applause and thanked his audience for coming to the concert. He sounded genuine in his gratitude for the level of fame he had achieved, and appreciative to his fans for their support over the years. His voice, although a bit raspy in conversation, was crystal clear and powerful in vocals with the band. It seems that time has hardly dimmed his enthusiasm or abilities. He gave a stellar performance, which the audience thoroughly enjoyed. It was a nostalgic flashback to a bygone era for us aging Baby Boomers, and served as a rock music history lesson for the younger audience members.

The setting of the State Theater in State College greatly enhanced the concert experience. This grand structure, built in 1938, provides a perfect setting for great performances like this. With its sweeping curved balcony, high ceiling, and curtained walls, the State Theater is a real theater, not just some

shoebox with a movie screen. Sitting in its seats brings expectations of quality entertainment, and Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels met, and even exceeded those expectations.

The opening act for this concert was Your Dad’s Friends, a local band featuring Gazette General Manager, Don Bedell, on lead guitar and vocals. Don and his friends shed their workday personas, and became rockers, warming up the audience with a string of 1960’s rock hits like Good Lovin’, Proud Mary, I Saw Her Standing There, Express Train to Your Heart, and several others. Clapping and foot tapping were the order of the day for the delighted audience members. I told Don I was glad to see he had a fallback career in case he tired of managing a newspaper! He just laughed.

This concert was a thoroughly enjoyable experience for the audience. It was great to see Mitch Ryder still belting out his brand of high-energy rock and roll. I hope Mitch and those Detroit Wheels keep rolling for years to come!
