Motorcycles 50% Mountain Bikes 50%Last Week’s Results

Last week’s issue featuring 11 Exceptional Women of 2011 was just the begin-ning. I’ve continued to receive worthy nominations which I will pursue and feature in future issues. Speaking of nominations, September 30 is the deadline to nominate a good neighbor for 11 Exceptional Men of 2011. We’ve already received glowing recommendations for a pastor, war hero, judge, and all-around great guy. Last weekend, with no home Penn State game, was packed with events all over the county – so many that we couldn’t attend them all. However, we made it to the Benner Township Fall Festival, Then & NOW exhibit at the Military Museum in Boalsburg, Spring Mills Community Yard Sales, Snow Shoe fall festival and car show, Bellefonte croquet tournament, the gourmet dinner at the Lemont Granary, State College ladies roller derby, Circ de Soliel, Acoustic Brew concert series opening, and a bunch of high school sporting events. Whew! Thanks, writers, for your dogged pursuit of good news. We’re featuring fall planting and landscaping in this issue. Our master gardeners from Penn State contributed a great article (as always) on planting trees and shrubs. I was also fortunate enough to be able to ask a local expert about fall gardening and maintenance. His answers will help all of us greet spring with better blooms and sturdier stems. Hometown Heroes is back after a short hiatus. See Brian Bassett’s feature on Lance and Ellen (?) Shaner, a well-known philanthropic couple, who, most recently, gave generously to Mt Nittany Medical Center’s new cancer center. Check out the ever-growing list of events in What’s Happening and Save the Date calendars. We’re moving into the season for fall festivals, hayrides, and Halloween, with a focus on the harvest and kids’ events. Next week we’ll focus on seniors and the elderly – from education and outings to retirement communities and estate issues. These days, we can expect two or three decades of retirement, so we’ll try to cover issues that appeal to active seniors, the elderly, and caregivers.

Protect Your Pets from Wild Animals

We live in a rural area – duh! But more and more, I hear of people’s animals being hurt by wild animals. One of the main reasons for this is the continuous expansion of com-mercial and residential developments. Most animals have a natural migration pattern, and we disrupt it with construction, trails, and new neighborhoods. It’s inevitable that our pets will be in the path of some animal’s migration route – sooner or later there will be a confrontation. While simply trapping and relocating the animals seems like a quick fix, it really isn’t because it doesn’t remove the underly-ing reason the animal was there in the first place. Another will just move in. Education is a better solution. First, look around the outside of your home. If you see any small holes or openings near foundations or steps, seal them up. A hole the size of a tennis ball is ample for most small animals, even raccoons. Openings in porches and sheds, or stacked woodpiles provide an ideal refuge for animals. Sink any boards at least six inches below the soil so that animals cannot dig underneath. Raccoons, opossums, and squirrels, the top three offenders of pet attacks, can easily scale the side of a house and enter through chimneys, vents, and holes in awnings. These animals are stronger than you think and can rip through most small holes, making them large enough to enter. If your fireplace doesn’t have a screen on the top, check it for nests. Once inside attics, animals make nests. Traditional traps are usually not effective, so a private trapping service might be needed. Look around your yard. Animals are attracted to a garden that is not adequately fenced and offers something they like to eat. If fencing your yard is not an option, at least keep food at a minimum. Remove bird feeders, pick up fallen fruit or nuts, and keep your garbage cans either inside or tightly closed. If you have a skunk trapped inside a window well, the best way to get him out is to put a tree branch or board down into it and allow the skunk to climb its own way out. If you see an animal hole and don’t know what the animal is inside, sprinkle some flour around the hole and then look at the tracks the next day. That will at least tell you what you’re dealing with.

Your goal should be to drive all the animals away from your yard. Even if the animals are not causing any problems, they will draw larger animals such as coyotes to your property. One way to drive animals away is to place rags that are soaked in ammonia or mothballs around holes, garbage cans, and any area you feel is frequented by wild animals. Be sure to put the ammonia on the rags and not on the ground as the chemical may damage plants or soil. Don’t allow your dog (or cat) to attempt to drive the animal away. Even the smallest scratch from a wild animal can transfer disease. Never attempt to confront an animal that does not immediately run away when you are present and making noise. If an animal looks sick or injured, call the authorities. Here’s a short list of things you can do to help prevent issues with wild animals.

Obviously, install a fence if you can.•Be sure your pet is properly vaccinated, •especially for rabies, as most wild animals that are aggressive are usually rabid.Keep a proper first aid kit on hand in case •of an attack.Keep an I.D. on your dog in case he runs •when injured.When walking your dog, keep pepper •spray with you in case of a confrontation with a wild animal.Keep your yard trimmed back, mowed •down, and pick up loose fruit or nuts from trees.Feed your pets inside. Even the smell •of old food can bring an animal to your property.Seal crawl spaces around your house.•Put up a motion detector light – that will •sometimes drive away animals that prefer the dark for foraging.Remove your bird feeder. They can attract •not only small animals, but also bears.Notify the authorities if you see an animal •acting strangely.

These simple things can keep your dog and cat safe, especially as the weather gets colder and food gets more scarce in the woods. Toni Duchi is a member of Nittany Grey-hounds, and author of “The Practical Hound: Better Choices for a Healthier Dog.” If you would like to ask her a specific question, please e-mail her at [email protected].

Lance and Ellen Shaner have resided in the State College area for more than 18 years. Throughout that time they have generously supported charities, including Centre Vol-unteers in Medicine, Easter Seals, and The Second Mile. Lance has also led the way in fundraising for the Centre County United Way, State College Family YMCA, and numerous Penn State campaigns. The Shaners emerged as strong support-ers of Mount Nittany Medical Center’s new cancer center. The Mount Nittany Medical Center Board of Trustees announced September 8, 2011 – following a September 7 building dedication – that Lance and Ellen made a substantial gift to the Medical Center’s com-prehensive Cancer Center now under construction. It will be named, “The Lance and Ellen Shaner Cancer Center at Mount Nittany Medical Center.” “The Lance and Ellen Shaner Cancer Center gives the medical center the opportunity to provide dedicated dignified space where patients and families can access the broad contin-uum of services that they need,” explained Steve Brown, president and CEO of Mount Nittany Health System [during the building dedication]. “We are exceedingly grateful to Lance and Ellen Shaner for recognizing our desire to move cancer treatment and support services together – in one facility – to support cancer patients’ unique healthcare needs.” The Shaner Cancer Center will provide

the community with radiation and medical oncology services, examination space, and more than 20 private chemotherapy suites. Special amenities provided will include a large resource room for patients and families; space for integrative rehabilitation services and nutritional consultations; private, quiet waiting areas as well as public waiting areas; and a dedicated pharmacy. Cancer Center construction should be completed before the end of 2012 – at which time a community open house will be announced. To note additional community support, the Shaners established a generous endow-ment to support travel, lodging, medical, and pharmaceutical co-pays – and other treat-

ment-related needs for cancer patients receiving care at the Cancer Center. Their families will also receive consideration. “These gifts demonstrate our con-tinued commitment to the Centre Region and our desire to

make a significant contribution to fighting a disease that takes such a significant toll on families,” explained Lance Shaner. He dedicated the day to his father, Alyn, who succumbed to cancer 17 years ago, and to his friend J.B. Griffin, who died one month ago. “The Cancer Center at Mount Nittany will be a phenomenal resource for patients and families, and we are humbled and excited for what it will mean now and for generations to come,” concluded Shaner.

David Baldacci can usually be found on the New York Times bestseller list, but he has become so prolific that some of his books have lost their edge. Deliver Us From Evil, last year’s bestseller, has come out in paperback and it is a thriller in true Baldacci style. Reggie Campion is an agent with a secret vigilante group. This is a group that tracks and kills Nazi fugitives who have been living comfortably since the war.

Reggie is very good at what she does. The mysterious Shaw is also a member of a secret group that hunts down the bad guys, the ones who are a danger to the world today. Shaw is also extremely good at his job.Although they do not know it, they are both involved with a man named Evan Waller. Reggie wants to find him to make him pay for his war crimes; Shaw wants to stop him from providing materi-als to terrorist groups who would have the ability to cause the deaths of millions of people. The three of them arrive in Provence;

Waller to meet with his contact and sell his low-enriched uranium, Shaw to stop Waller from making the sale and to capture him, Reggie to kill Waller. A warning to the faint of heart: Waller is a very evil man and some of the scenes with him are very violent. He watches old movies of the mass destruction of villages that he orches-trated. The men who betray him are tortured in very creative ways. Reggie is not as cruel,

but she does have a secret agenda of her own and is willing to go to extremes to carry her plans to the end. She wants her victims to know why she is killing them. Shaw, as the anti-hero, plays a little

more by the book, but is still ruthless when he has a job to do. Being a part of a branch of our government, he also has unlimited resources. The three of them make for a suspense story worthy of Hitchcock at his best. It is full of remarkable characters, death-defy-ing action, plot twists, and a final scene that will cause you to hold your breath for several pages – all of the things that I want a Baldacci book to do. The book stands on its own, but Shaw’s previous relationship with one of the minor characters plays a part in the plot. Shaw was first introduced by Baldacci in The Whole Truth, which you may want to read as a companion book. Just don’t blame me if they get you hooked on David Baldacci.

$150,000 Raised for Cancer Center

LEMONT – The eighth annual Granary Gourmet Dinner was served Saturday (9/17), catered by Tom Everly of Keystone Yankee Catering. The dinner is a fund raiser for the renovation and restoration of the Thompson Grain Elevator and Coal Sheds. The dinner was not only a way to raise money for historic preservation, it is also a way to show off the buildings. “Tom always comes up with a new menu of recipes he’d like to fix, and people attend since they love to eat his cooking,” said Sue Smith, the presi-dent of the Lemont Village Association (LVA). The restoration of the buildings, built in 1885, from run-down, falling-apart ruins to amazing historic struc-tures demonstrates to the community that the history of Lemont is impor-tant and old architecture should be preserved. “Many people have come to all eight dinners because they know the food will be excellent and the company will be terrific. Also, the fact that people

are willing to come for a fancy dinner in a building without a bathroom and with no heat is a great attraction,” said Sue. The dinner is just one of the many fundraising events. In the past 13 years the community has raised and spent more than $400,000 on the buildings. When the LVA bought the property in 1993 the buildings were literally falling down and the village green was a mess of gravel roads and oil tanks. Both the grain elevator and coal sheds have been renovated with the funds raised and the village green was created. For further informa-tion and to view photos of buildings and activities on the Web, visit www.lem-ontvillage.org.

The Lemont Granary is the site of a gourmet dinner that is held

every year for its restoration.

Spring Mills Hosts Yard Sales & AnniversaryArticle & photos by Sam Stitzer

SPRING MILLS – Spring Mills held its Community Wide Yard Sales on Septem-ber 16 and 17. This event was combined with a celebration of the fourth anniversary of the founding of the Old Gregg School Community & Recreation Center on Saturday, September 17. The village was dotted with yard sales offering all manner of merchandise. Clothing, housewares, automotive equipment, furniture, toys, electronics, and many more items were being snatched up by bargain hunters from all around the area. On Friday morning, the enticing aroma of barbecued chicken greeted me as I pulled in to Grace United Church of Christ. They were having their annual sale of barbecued chicken, soup, breakfast sandwiches, and sticky rolls. Organizers Bonnie Telegraphis, Sandra Stitzer, and Peggy Myers said that the church’s food sale tradition went back 37 years in Spring Mills. The church also had its own yard sale inside the building. The outside temperature that morning was in the

mid-50s, which is a bit chilly for mid-September, and it felt good to shop indoors. There were many yard sales all around Spring Mills and the town filled with shoppers. On Railroad Street, I found Janet Cahn huddling in a garage behind an electric heater to keep warm at her sale. Next door, Tierney Myers took a dif-ferent tack, standing in the warm morning sunshine to warm up at her outdoor sale.

Just off Railroad Street, Michelle Laird was hosting a busy sale in her garage. On Long Street, I found Alanna Smith feeding her seven-week-old son, Ethan, while she tended her yard sale, which featured Native American dolls and many diecast model race cars. Across the street, Frank Strouse was offering his hand-crafted wooden items for sale. He had foot stools, napkin holders, candle holders, and other items, all beautifully crafted from both hard and soft woods. Around the bend on Cooper Street, Harold and Vicky Long were having a sale in their garage. The center-piece of their sale was a 1920’s vintage console-style Victrola phonograph in nearly perfect condition. The Victrola had belonged to Harold’s grand-mother, 94-year-old Romayne Long. Harold put a 78 rpm record on the turntable, and cranked it up. He carefully placed the needle on the record, and out came music with sur-prisingly (to me) high sound quality! The Victrola was easily worth the $250 asking price. Also on Cooper Street, Shirley Russell had her collection of Barbie dolls for sale, and across the street, Dorothy Albright and Tabitha Fellabaum were doing a brisk business at their yard sale at Dorothy’s home. The yard sales extended outside of downtown. On West Street, Valerie Wolfe had a huge sale featuring many tables full

of children’s clothing and toys. About a mile farther west on Route 45, at the parsonage of the God’s Missionary Church, Tabitha Cooley, niece of Pastor Andy Cooley, was

selling many items as she prepares to return to South Africa, where she serves as a missionary. There was even a bus for sale there! The sales continued on Saturday, joined by several in front of the Old Gregg School Community Center, which was celebrating its fourth year of operation that day. The school closed in June of 2007, and an all-volunteer advisory board was formed, headed by Robin Bastress, which obtained permission to use the building as a com-munity center. The Penns Valley School district sold the

building to Gregg Township for $1, and now the advisory board manages the center. Fees paid by tenants and programs in the building as well as donations, pay the operating expenses. The center serves as a home for the Penns Valley Community Church, classes by

the Centre County Extension, the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, yoga classes, a library, and a thrift store, among others. It is also used for many craft fairs, a farmers market, and charity events. Robin Bastress says the center is growing, with the newest tenant being a non-denominational youth center, sponsored and funded ($10,000) by the Penns Valley Community Church. A former classroom is being reno-vated by volunteers guided by PVCC Youth Pastor, Tim Shutes. Boy Scout, Drew Hurd is overseeing the work days as his Eagle Scout project. The Youth Center will have a café-like atmosphere, with a small stage for musical events, and plenty of room for just “hangin’ out.” There will also be an-after school program, headed by Keri Miller, on Wednesdays, which will offer tutoring and study help to Penns Valley teens. There was a definite feeling of commu-nity spirit evident in Spring Mills at the Old Gregg School Community Center and at the community wide yard sales. It was great to see people having a good time and support-ing each other. We hope this event continues for many years to come.

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

from the heavy rains the event has faced the past

few years. The vendors at this year’s festival ranged from local entrepreneurs to commu-nity volunteers to professional sales associ-ates – intermingling to provide visitors with their array of produce, flowers, baked goods, quilts, jewelry, and other crafted wares. Visitors were met at the entrance to the Buffalo Run Park by the Shuey’s Market flower and produce stand, a four-year veteran of the festival manned by Benner Township local Connie Shuey. The Fall Festival was host not only to vendors but also to several events for visitors and community members. Just past the small farmer’s market, a sign

was posted with the day’s events, starting with a scaven-ger hunt at 10:30 a.m. followed shortly by pumpkin stacking and pumpkin seed blowing. Later in the afternoon visitors were invited to participate in the 1 p.m. pumpkin decorat-ing contest and the 3 p.m. pumpkin float. The day was enlivened by the musical talents of Bill “Dr. BE” Brashers, a resident of State College and Penn State doctoral alumnus of Organi-zational Psychology. Dr. BE’s wife, Gloria Brashers, manned her “Celebrating Home” booth, boasting home goods and dec-orations for the season as well as copies of her husband’s first recording, Spiritual Storm. The couple has been coming to the

Fall Festival for five years, just a fraction of Gloria’s 29 years in house wares and design. Alongside the “Celebrating Home” booth was Pleasant Gap local Sharon Hicks, owner and creator of “Sharon’s Soaps-n-Stuff.” Another five-year veteran of the

Benner Township Fall Festival, Sharon offered a wide selection of handcrafted soaps, including old-fashioned lye, glycerin, sea salt, olive oil, and a variety of goats’ milk soaps, each with a carefully blended, custom scent. Other crafts included screen print tees, handmade jewelry, knit bags, and custom woodworking. Crafter Jeannette Long of Bellefonte offered wild catnip toys, metal-work jewelry, and her signature birdhouse gourds. Nestled among the crafters was the Buffalo Run Valley Churches’ food stall, which offered a variety of treats from sodas and homemade brownies to cookies and fresh-cooked hot dogs. Manned by Buffalo Run resident Peggy Shuffstall, the booth charged no fees for their refreshments. Rather, an optional donation could be made to benefit the Fillmore Valley Food Bank, a cause supported by the members of the Buffalo Run, Fillmore Valley, and Valley View Churches of Pastor Dwayne Bardo of Benner Township. If you missed the event this year, be sure to stop by the Benner Township Fall Festival next autumn. For more informa-tion, visit benner.centreconnect.org.

SNOW SHOE – The Snow Shoe Annual Fall Festival and Car Show was held at Snow Shoe Park on Saturday, Septem-ber 17. This annual event featured a car show, craft and flea market vendors, food stands, and live music from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. by Near Heaven, Joyful Noise, and The Silver Eagle Band. The Mountaintop Pool Association also held a kids’ Fun Run during the festival. Money raised by the association’s Fun Run will go toward repairing and refurbishing the swimming pool so it can be reopened next summer. Of course, being a car lover, I headed for the car show area of the park, where a nice array of antiques, classics, muscle cars, sports cars, and trucks was gathering in spite of the chilly weather. I met Vince Humenay from Morrisdale who showed a spotless white 1965 Thunderbird convertible. This ragtop features a top which folds down, then retracts into the trunk of the car, giving a smooth look from wind-shield to tail. The convertible Birds of this vintage are rarely seen. Vince found the car in Millheim, needing only some touch up to be a show quality machine. It has a 390 V-8, a swing-away steering wheel, and factory air conditioning. Mark Warrender of Bellefonte brought a 1930 Ford Model AA flatbed truck in green and black. This truck used the same four-cylinder engine as the Model A automobiles, but with much lower gearing to provide the torque required for hauling heavy loads. Mark found the truck in North Dakota, where it was used as a working truck until 1977. Mark has the complete history of the truck, including a North Dakota title issued in 1939, and a license plate from 1930, which he keeps mounted on the front bumper. Mark retained the original hand crank starter, but

an electric starter saves Mark from broken arms! Fred Oswalt from Belle-fonte displayed his beautiful turquoise 1963 Mercury Comet convertible. Fred has owned the Comet for 22 years. He said he used to drive by junkyards and fields with binoculars looking for parts cars in the days before online auction and salvage yard sites. Now that’s a dedicated car lover! One of the coolest vehicles in the show had no engine. It was a 1966 Schwinn Fastback bicycle owned by Jeff Hodgson of Clarence. Jeff restored the Fastback to original condition, and equipped it with an original Schwinn speedometer, head-light, and under-seat carry bag. He displayed it with some vintage ad posters, warranty card, and owner’s manual. The bike features hi-rise handlebars, a white banana seat, and five-speed derailleur gears. Jeff estimated the bike’s value at around $2,000. It’s a great nostalgia piece for those of us who rode bikes like that in the 1960s! The flea market and craft booths were filled with a wide variety of decorative and antique items, and home-grown veg-etables. Shoppers filled the area, as they searched for that “just right” item. Food vendors enjoyed a brisk business satisfying crowds of hungry patrons.

This event was very enjoyable for everyone in attendance, and displayed a great sense of community spirit, as citizens of the Mountaintop area gathered for a day of family fun. I’ll be back next year for sure!

BELLEFONTE – Victorian Bellefonte harks back to its roots with an annual Croquet Tournament to benefit the chamber of commerce. On Sunday the 18th day of September, 14 two-person teams set out on the soccer fields of Gov-ernor’s Park to vie for top prizes. What seems like a genteel sport is actually quite wick-et! Each team paid registration fees and sponsors donated money to the event by sponsoring a croquet court, the post on a court, or a wicket. The tourney even had six “virtual” teams that paid entry fees to the Bellefonte Intervalley Chamber, but could not physically attend. The afternoon’s competition was whittled down through a double-elimination bracket, which saw some “rookies” quickly fall by the wayside. Some style was added to the field by a couple argyle-socked, knicker-wearing lads, one of whom proved his mettle at the end of the day. As the afternoon shadows grew long, the field of 14 became a few. Amaz-ingly, perhaps by fate, two of the sur-viving teams were the same as the year prior – Chris and Andrea Murrell of Future Mayors of Bellefonte Team #1, Jim Keddie and Kim Koller-Blakeslee of Logan Branch Team #3 – along with newcomers and first-time-ever croquet players, Daniel and Angela Dick of Team-Chocolate Thunder. I believe I heard tell the team name origi-nated from their dog, rather than their decadent desires. C o m p e t i -tion was fierce, but the veterans handled the pressure, with Chocolate Thunder falling victim to rookie nerves and wicket-wiriness of Jim Keddie and Kim Koller-Blakeslee of Logan Branch Team #3. For their strong showing, Daniel and Angie Dick received a shiny 3rd-place medal and a crisp $50 check from Mr. Gary Hoover, executive director of the BIACC. Congratulations! Now, it was time to get down and dirty. Well, as dirty as one can get wearing argyle socks, knickers and sporting a touring cap.

The final match of the day, on court number one, brought together the same two teams that battled for bragging rights just one year ago. The battle began with

a few poor wicket shots, brought on by shaky mallets, I’m sure. As the game wore on, it became apparent that style and finesse are impor-tant factors when it comes to the Victorian-era game of croquet. As Jim and

Kim of Logan Branch #3 struggled with foiled attempts of strategy, Chris and Andrea proved to be too strong in the end. With an incredible “jump-shot” by Chris Murrell, he put Team FMOB #1 in the driver’s seat. A few cracks of the mallet later, the sweet taste of victory was left to the Murrell’s to savor. With the victor and second place finishers reuniting for the second year in a row, the dual for next year’s croquet tourney’s top prize should be a mag-

nificent battle to watch – style and strategy at its finest. T h a n k s goes out to Gary Hoover, execu-tive director of the Bellefonte Intervalley Area

Chamber of Commerce and to Chuck Kormanski and Kerry O’Hara, co-chairs of the BIACC Board of Directors Fund-raising Committee, for planning and managing the event and for donating snacks and court marking supplies and equipment. Much appreciation to the

members and spouses of the Bellefonte Sunrise Kiwanis Club for providing referees this year. The rest of the teams included Karen Fry, Ken Rossman, Heather Rossman, Susan Hoover, Gary Hoover, Tricia Andriaccio, Misty Baney, Mike Andriaccio, Chris Stimer, Julianne Snider, John Simmons, Matt Chirdon, Whitney Chirdon, Chris Picht, Tori Indivero, Kim Hacker, Megan Evans, Tammy Gentzel, Doris Connor, Kerry O’Hara, and Terri Shecker.

STATE COLLEGE – On Tuesday, September 12, the Nittany Valley Writers Network kicked off their 2011-2012 season with “Tips for Starting a Freelance Career,” pre-sented by local freelance writer Sue Poremba. Two dozen writers gathered in the Schlow Centre Region Library Community Room to hear her inspiring, informative talk. Poremba spoke about the benefits and challenges of a freelance writing career. She liked not having to deal with difficult coworkers, the freedom to dress as she pleased, the flexible hours, and having control over how much she earned. She also listed less desirable aspects: no paid leave, no income unless she worked, difficulty getting paid, the need to market herself, and the challenges of dealing with editors and interviewees. Poremba has health insurance through her husband’s employer but many freelancers must obtain their own insurance. “Freelancing is a wonderful job,” she said, “but I have to regulate myself. I don’t get to put a few hours in, then take the rest of the day off....It’s a lot of hard work. I don’t like market-ing [myself] but that’s how you get most of the work.” Poremba began freelancing part time in 2000 while working full time at Penn State. In 2005, she found out that she and her coworkers were being laid off due to a lack of funding. Her husband encouraged her to try doing what she loved instead of seeking another job. She has worked success-fully as a full time freelance writer for six years. “I tend to write non-fiction for trade magazines, business to business,” Poremba said. She writes for glossy print publi-cations and web publications, including paid blogging. She has also published two books, The Phillies Fan’s Little Book of Wisdom, and 29 Things to Know About Catholicism. Poremba has a degree in English and her previous jobs had a writing component. She said this level of experience wasn’t necessary. “You don’t need a writing background. Editors want to know you have the talent to write, will do the job, and be able to write intelligently.” Joining a freelance online support group, Freelance Success, has helped her career and connected her with a community of other writers. They told her not to worry if the Writers Market said don’t e-mail or send simultaneous queries to a certain publication. She now e-mails almost everyone. Her online colleagues showed her how to write an LOI, a letter of introduction or inquiry, as a tool to seek new work, focusing on how her skills match the publication’s needs. She e-mails many prospective markets at the same time and gets one response for every five she sends. Poremba said she never just writes something and sends it off. There are many unscrupulous editors who will steal writers’ ideas and sources instead of paying them. She talked about developing a platform. With freelance writing, a platform is created when the writer specializes in certain areas and publishes enough that people recognize the writer’s name. “You become a go-to person they want to work with.” Poremba said that editors notice if you’re a jack of all trades, and prefer a specialized writer who knows the editor’s subject well enough to discuss it and suggest ideas. In the last two years, her platform gave her 75 percent of her writing jobs. To find writing markets, Poremba conducts Google searches for publications in her areas of interest. She said that diversity is important, rather than working for one client, one industry, or one type of publication. Poremba listed the qualities needed for success in this career. Freelance writers must be self-motivated and meet deadlines. They need to be able to work alone, and to interview people they don’t know. It is necessary to juggle multiple tasks and assignments. She usually works on five to 10 assignments per day, and has been known to do five interviews in a day on different topics. “It’s a job and you have to treat it like a job.” “Writers can make a liveable salary,” Poremba said. “Writing can be very lucrative. You can make a six figure salary but it’s a lot of hard work.” She said she knows many writers who provide the sole income for their families. Upcoming Nittany Valley Writers Network meetings include talks on “Fictional Autobiography” by Hülya Yilmaz, Ph.D on October 11, and “Poetry, Fiction, Non-Fiction, and Creative Non-Fiction” by Heather Jordan, Ph.D. Membership is free and open to writers of all genres and levels. The Nittany Valley Writers Network hosts speakers at Schlow Library, 211 S. Allen Street, State College on most second Tuesdays at 7 p.m. The group also holds monthly breakfasts and evening socials.

Then & NOW: A Military Time LineArticle & photos by Jillian Decker

BOALSBURG – The Penn-sylvania Military Museum recently held its 14th annual military time line event, “Then & NOW.” The Time Line boasted a collection of military uniforms and equip-ment spanning the Revolution-ary War to the National Guard of today. The volunteers who donned the uniforms of the various time periods ranged from dedicated re-enactors to retired veterans to active-duty military personnel. All partici-pants of the Time Line gathered twice a day for the fashion shows that allowed visitors to experience three centuries’ worth of military history. The earliest re-enactors at the Time Line portrayed the Hessian troops of the American Revolution. The elaborate uniforms were donned by Ed Manning of Scranton and Joseph Malit of Maplewood, NJ. These living historians crafted their uniforms by hand, with custom metal cap plate detailing done by Malit. According to Museum Educator Joseph Horvath (who donned his own Navy uniform from the 1980s), earlier uniforms were more elabo-rate because “a state would demonstrate its superiority by dressing their army better.” This was echoed by Manning, who stated that “Looking ahead [in the Time Line], we see how much better dressed we were… If there was a way for war to be elegant, [the Hessians] were it.” From the Hessians, the Time Line jumped into the mid-19th century, with two groups of re-enactors portraying the Union Army of the Civil War. The Battery B light artillery re-enactors of State College consisted of Julianne Singer and Bob and Bonnie Barry. Battery B was joined by the historic 148th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Regiment re-enactors, a group who pays tribute to the Centre County Regiment who served in the Civil War, including two days at the Battle of Gettysburg. Led by State College local Dave

Felice, the group celebrates the legacy of the 148th “by partici-pating in local and national living histories and Civil War reenactments.” Along with Felice the 148th included Mark Bohn of Howard, Steve Metz of Alumsville, and the Fields family of State College, Jack and Laurie and their two children, 10-year-old Callie and 12-year-old Brett, the company drummer. Another jump in the Time Line introduced two groups of re-enactors from World War II – the Austrian Mountain Troops of Germany and the American troops stationed in the Pacific Theater. The admit-tedly unpopular Austrian re-

enactors consisted of Roger Bombard of Fre-dricksburg, VA, Gilbert White of Springfield, VA, and Jack Haesler of Bellefonte. Speaking from 15 years of experience in re-enacting, White explains that they are “not portraying the ‘Nazis,’ but rather are showing what the American troops were facing in Europe… Hollywood tends to gloss

over stuff and make it overly simplistic. We are not trying to glorify it, but to put a face on it.” Across the creek from the Austrian troops were the American Pacific re-enac-tors Bruce and Peter Michels, who demon-strated American weaponry and field gear. World War II was quickly followed by the Vietnam War re-enactors of the A Company, 1/7 Cav., 1st Cavalry Division living histo-rians. The weekend’s re-enactors included Allan Beckwith of Altoona, Doc Thrush of Reading, and Tom Gray of Altoona. To finish off the Time Line, three members of the Charlie company 2nd 1/12 Infantry of State College represented the active-duty Pennsylvania National Guard. Staff Sergeant Brent “Harv” Andrews of Bellefonte, Sergeant Adam Fisher of Julianne, and Private Will Kane of Harleysville dem-onstrated the modern uniform and personal gear used by today’s National Guard. The Time Line made its mark on these soldiers; as reflected by Private Kane, “Seeing how the gear’s changed from previous wars puts into perspective how much I’ve taken our modern gear for granted.” The Then & NOW: Military Time Line is an annual event held at the Pennsylvania Military Museum, traditionally held on the weekend of the first away game for the Penn State Nittany Lions.

Many people think that spring, the time of new growth, is the best time for planting trees and shrubs. However, cooler temperatures and an abundance of rainfall make autumn a great time to plant. Soil temperatures are warmer in the fall, and trees and shrubs planted then are also less likely to suffer from pests and diseases. Trees and shrubs must be planted early enough in the fall for the plants to develop a good root system. Although roots continue to grow in soil as cold as 40 degrees, soil temperatures above 55 degrees at a soil depth of six inches are optimum. In our area, conditions are usually good for planting until the middle or the end of October. For best results, select balled-and-burlapped or container-grown plants instead of bare-rooted plants. (Bare-rooted plants should be put into the soil in late winter or early spring while the plants are still dormant.) The hole for the plant should be two to three times wider than and just as deep as the root ball. Once the hole is the right size, dig the shovel into the hole a few times to loosen the bottom of the hole. This will make it easier for the roots to spread. Just before planting, be sure to remove all wires, tags, and twine from the roots. If the roots are encased in burlap, you can either remove it or allow it to stay in place to decompose naturally. If you keep the burlap on, do cut it back from the top of the root ball so that it doesn’t wick moisture away from the roots. If the plant has been grown in a container and the roots are tangled when you remove the plant from the pot, you can either try to untangle the roots or cut them using a saw or a sturdy knife to make two cuts into the bottom of the root ball. When placing the plant into the soil, set it securely in the hole and make sure to completely back-fill the soil around the plant. Avoid planting large trees or shrubs in the fall. Large plants can be tricky to transplant anytime of the year, but they are even more sensitive when foliage is present. Newly-planted trees and shrubs need adequate water – about an inch each week. Trees and shrubs require a lot of water, particularly when they are trying to establish good roots. Continue watering even after deciduous plants have lost their leaves, and don’t stop until the ground freezes solid. Consider wrapping the trunks of young trees with burlap in late November. This will help prevent damage to the bark and will help to avoid frost cracks, scalding from the sun, and animal damage. The wrap should then be removed in March. It is also a good idea to apply a two- to four-inch layer of compost or straw in late November or early December after the plants go dormant and the soil cools below 40 degrees. This will help alleviate newly-planted trees and shrubs, particularly those will shallow root systems, from heaving out of the ground by alternate freezing and thawing of the soil. A few additional hints for successful planting: Do not amend the soil or add compost to the planting hole. If the soil directly surrounding the roots is more nutrient rich than the soil around the plant, the roots may grow in circles instead of branching out making the plant much less stable in the ground. Do not apply fertilizer in the fall to a newly-planted tree. This would encourage the foliage to grow, weakening the plant and taking away energy from the establishing root system. Wait until the spring to fertilize.Finally, do not attempt to prune the newly-planted tree or shrub. Pruning encourages new growth, having the same result as applying fertilizer in the fall. Above all, do some research before you plant any tree or shrub into your landscape. Make sure that your planting location meets the growing conditions required by the plant. If a plant requires full sun, do not attempt to plant it in a shady location. Always pay attention to the mature size of the plant. Make sure you leave enough space around the plant to allow for good air circulation and expansion. Note that there are also some species of plants that are more susceptible than others to winter damage and are best planted in the spring. Among them are magnolia, dogwood, red maple, Japanese maple, birch, poplar, cherry, plum. Again, do some research before you select your plants. Some attention now to the fall landscape will pay big dividends next spring. Take a walk around your property and take note of areas that could benefit from the addition of a new or replacement tree or shrub. Visit local garden centers and nurseries to see what plants are still available; some are even running end-of-season sales. Then get outside and do some fall planting. There will be time enough from December until early March to hibernate!

Autumn Is an Ideal Time to Plant Trees and ShrubsBy Suzanne Grieb, Master Gardener

Fall Planting& Landscaping

An avid flower gardener and sole tender of about two acres of lawn and pond, I am learning many gardening and landscaping tips the hard way. This year, I’ve asked expert landscaper, John Allegar, some questions about fall planting and outdoor maintenance that I hope you will find useful. I certainly will! Here’s John’s answer when asked about fall planting, “You can and should plant in fall! Early September to soil freeze-up is ideal, as late as late December some years. A common misconception is the notion that it’s too cold after first frost, but in reality trees and shrubs respond to transplanting better when it is cool and they are top-growth dormant. Truth be told, it’s probably the best time to plant, with the possible exceptions being broad-leafed evergreens such as Rhododendron or Holly planted in somewhat wind-exposed areas.

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

Q: Should any bulbs be lifted in this climate?

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

FALL Expert Q&AAnswers from the Experts at Fox Hill GardensBy Sandie Biddle & John Allegar

Q: Should I cut back peonies, irises,

hosta, clematis, Russian sage, and other

perennials or wait until spring? How about

ornamental grasses?

A: I would cut them back in fall, just to make

it neat through the winter months. Ornamen-

tal grasses can stay up if you like that look.

Some that don’t get cut back include Coral

Bells, Lamium, Ivy, Pachysandra and Vinca,

Creeping Phlox, Dianthus, Lamb’s Ear and

Bellflower, to name a few.

Q: Should any bulbs be lifted in this climate?

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

Q: Can any flowering plants be brought inside?

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

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

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

Penns Valley Claims First Volleyball Title in Program History

Bottom row: Ashley Struble, Megan Houser, Mikayla Paolini, Leah Stodart, Alexis Dehass-Ewing, Kaelyn Yoder. Top Row: Taylor Noll, Chelsea Emel, Tangie Lyons, Lindsay Dix, Casey Kuhlman, Madison Bressler

Middle row : Jenna BishopMissing from the picture: Clarissa Keller , Coach Joi McKenzie and Coach Randy Holsopple

Penns Valley Girls Volleyball recently won the Silver division of The West Branch Warrior Blast Tournament. The tournament win brought with it some school history as it provided the program their first trophy for the Penns Valley Girls Volleyball program since it began five years ago.

It has been said in many ways. “Just win baby” is the

mantra made famous by the velour sweat suit sporting owner of the Oakland Raiders, Al Davis. My neighbor reminded me that winning ugly is a lot better than losing pretty. And the coaches classic line, “winning may not be every-thing but losing gets you fired”. But perhaps the line that best sums up the outcome of the Penn State-Temple game on Saturday is one that often comes from Coach Paterno; “you are not as good as you think you are when you win or as bad as you think you are when you lose”. While the Nittany Lions didn’t lose the game to the Owls in Philadelphia last Saturday, they seemingly did everything they could to do to blemish Coach Paterno’s now 28-0 record against Bill Cosby’s alma mater. In a game that was about as far from perfect as a game could get, the Nittany Lions leaned on their defense to survive until Michael Zordich bowled into the endzone with 2:42 left to play and gave Penn State their first lead of the game. The defense forced four turnovers in the game including Michael Mauti’s interception of Mike Gerardi with 8:46 to play that set up Zordich’s score. Temple (3-1) took a 7-0 lead just past the midway point of the opening quarter and held that lead until Penn State tied the game with just under five minutes left to play before halftime. Silas Redd knotted the game with a 17 yard rushing touchdown that seemed to breathe life into a Nittany Lion team that saw its special teams units take the field 21 times in the game.

Of those trips, missed field goals as well as a blocked punt and field goal served as lowlights for the Nittany Lions. The Owls added a field goal just before halftime to take a lead into halftime (10-7) for the second time in as many games with Penn State. Last season, Temple had the Nittany Lions on the ropes in Beaver Stadium before losing some of that steam in the second half and watching their chance to upend the top football program in Pennsylvania. The Nittany Lion defense played a good game against a team that Paterno gave credit as being one of the best that he has faced in his storied career in Happy Valley. The Owls were ready to play and refused to give up even after Zordich’s score. Temple looked to have one more drive in their bid to upset the Lions and add a huge building block in the Owls football program. That drive was extended thanks to a personal foul call against Drew Astorino but the defense would again stand up against the Owls and Sean Stanley ended the drive when he sacked Gerardi on Penn State’s 40 yard line. Penn State has Eastern Michigan coming into town this Saturday and with it, a final “walkthrough” before opening Big Ten play against Indiana. The rotation at quarterback may continue and most likely will this week as neither Rob Bolden nor Matt McGloin has asserted themselves as the starter. Both have struggled at times and both have shown they can play at the levels most have expected. Unfortunately, the Eagles will present little challenge to Penn State and if they do, perhaps the Temple scare didn’t do what many fans hoped it would have done.

Nittany Lions Escape Temple (of dome) with a Hard Fought WinBy Les Barnhart

The Pittsburgh Steelers got the bitter taste out of their mouth after last week’s 35-7 at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens with a 24-0 shutout victory over the Seattle Seahawks in their 2011 home opener at Heniz Field. The Steelers got a scare in the second quarter when Ben Roethlisberger got hit low on a questionable hit to his knee and found himself lying on the Heinz Field turf. He would leave the game momentarily, but return to throw a two-yard touchdown to Mike Wallace in the route. He was an efficient 22-30 on the day for 298 yards. Rashard Mendenhall led all rushers with 66 yards and a touchdown and Mike Wallace caught eight balls for 126 yards and the

two-yard touchdown grab. The game was dominated

from start to finish by the Steelers and their aging defense. They held Tavaris Jackson to just 159 yards passing and kept Marshawn Lynch under twenty yards rushing on the day. Next week, the Steelers face the Indianap-olis Colts on NBC in Sunday Night Football. The Colts are 0-2 for the first time since Peyton Manning’s rookie season in 1998.

Steelers Bounce Back with Shutout of Seahawks By Matt Masullo

On a night when most of America thought that Michael Vick and the Eagles would waltz through the Georgia Dome on their journey to the Super Bowl, Matt Ryan and company stunned the most hyped team in the league with a 35-31 victory. The Eagles lost Vick in the third quarter to a concussion when he was spun into an Eagles offensive lineman. Backup Mike Kafka came off the bench and almost led the Birds to a comeback victory in the waning seconds, only to have a last ditch effort pass knocked down as time expired. The buildup leading to this game made for one of the biggest regular season contests for the Falcons since Vick was in town. His replacement, Matt Ryan, put the Falcons on his back and guided them to a huge victory. The win marked Ryan’s 21st career home victory, extending his record in the Georgia Dome to 21-4. Ryan threw for 194 yards and four scores

to go along with two interceptions. Future Hall of Fame tight end Tony Gonzalez hauled in two of Ryan’s four scores. For the Eagles, Jeremy Maclin shook off his pre-season ailment to catch 13 passes for 171 yards and two scores. Vick finished his night early, tossing for 242 yards, two scores and one pick. He also ran for 25 yards on six carries. Next week, the Eagles host the Giants in their 2011 home opener at the Linc in Phila-delphia. Although they may be without the services of Mike Vick, Eagles fans have to be happy about the play of Mike Kafka. Had Maclin not dropped a pass over the middle late I nthe fourth quarter, the Eagles could have been in an easier situation to go for the win, as opposed to throwing a Hail Mary as time expired.

Eagles Face Rival Mounties in First Road Game of the SeasonBy Les Barnhart

Bald Eagle Area leaves the friendly confines of Alumni Stadium and takes to the road for the first time this Friday when the head up the mountain to Philipsburg. The Mounties (2-1) and Eagles (1-2) is a classic Centre County matchup and with both teams coming into the game off of a win should set the stage for another installment in a long history of memorable games. Philipsburg-Osceola posted a thrilling 35-34 win in double overtime last Friday over Juniata. The Indians also went into overtime with Penns Valley in week two. The Mounties opened their season with an impressive home win over Chestnut Ridge (0-3), 41-26 before losing on the road in week two to Marion Center (2-1), 27-13. The Mounties always play well at home and the Eagles will come in looking to slow down a rushing attack that is averaging 201 yards per game. Michael John leads the Mounties rushing attack. The Eagles have been outscored 79-49 through the first three games while the Mounties are scoring 30 points per game. On defense however, Philipsburg-Osceola has allowed 87 points in three games (29 per game). The game kicks off at 7pm and is featured as the WBLF 970AM “Game of the Week”.

Eagles Post First Win of Season with Shutout of WildcatsBy Les Barnhart

Playing a team in which you have never seen before is never easy. Last Friday night in Wingate, Bald Eagle Area did just that when they welcomed the Halifax Wildcats onto the turf of Alumni Stadium. The Eagles defense faced off against a potent Wildcat offense and posted a 21-0 shutout to deliver Bald Eagle Area (1-2) their first win of the season. The Eagles scored on their first possession of the game after taking the opening kickoff and driving 52 yards on eight plays. The drive was capped by a 5-yard touchdown run by Cody Ripka to give the home crowd a 7-0 lead. Halifax (0-3) put the Eagles defense to the test in the ensuing drive as the Wildcats drove the ball to the Eagles’ 16 yard line where they faced a 4th and 8 situation. Before the Wildcats could run a play, they were flagged twice for delay of game which pushed them back to the Eagles’ 26 and set up a 4th and 18. When they finally did get the play off, quarterback Robert Moretz was stopped cold for a loss which resulted in the Eagles taking over on offense. The score would remain 7-0 at the half but that almost wasn’t the case as the Wildcats again drove inside the Eagles’ red zone, reaching the 17 before again turning the ball over on downs when a 4th and 2 conversion attempt was snuffed out by the Eagles defense. Anytime a team can shut out their opponent, the defense did a solid job and Friday night was no different as the Eagles held the Halifax offense to just 158 yards. Cole Long, the Eagles’ quarterback, gave his defense a little more breathing room as he pushed the lead to 14-0 with his short touchdown run mid-way through the third quarter. He would add his second touchdown of the game as the Eagles pushed the lead to 21-0 after he ran it in from 13 yards out to cap a 55 yard drive early in the fourth quarter. The Eagles’ defense then clamped down on the Wildcats. The bid for the shutout wasn’t without some late drama as on the final play of the game, Halifax running back Dan Habenthal appeared to haul in a touchdown catch but the officials would rule him out of the endzone to bring the game to an end and preserve the Eagles shutout.

Red Raiders Shutout by Golden Eagles By Gazette Sports Department

On a night when Tyrone was coming off of their first regular season home loss in nearly a decade, they bounced back in grand fashion against the Bellefonte Red Raiders, routing them 51-0 at Gray Field. The Golden Eagles dominated from start to finish, limiting the Red Raiders to more offensive plays than yards gained (42 plays – 38 yards). Bellefonte opened the game up on the receiving end of the kickoff. They converted a fourth down near midfield and appeared to be on their way on their first possession. After their next three offensive plays, the faced another fourth and short situation, but opted to punt and put the defense on the field, and that was all she wrote. The Golden Eagles moved effortlessly down the field, with Akron-bound Steve Franco scoring on a quarterback sneak to give Tyrone a 7-0 lead. It was one of the few times that a PAT would be converted, as the Gold Eagles missed five PAT attempts. On Bellefonte’s ensuing possession, quarterback Jordan Fye would be picked off by Charles Wilson-Adams and taken back 41 yards for the score. Franco would hit Nick Patton on a 43-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter and Hayden Zook on a 44-yard pass in the third quarter on his way to throwing for 151 yards on only six completions. Running back Christian Getz led all rushers with 143 yards on 17 carries. He also scored on a 9-yard run in the second quarter. Bellefonte struggled to move the ball offensively after their first possession, while on defense, they couldn’t stop the Golden Eagles. Offensively, Fye was 7-12 for 25 yards and the one intercep-tion. Alex Kaltenbach led all rushers with 11 yards on four carries. The Red Raiders (0-3) travel to Juniata this coming Friday.

Red Raiders Get Juniata in Week 4 By Gazette Sports Department

The Red Raider football team will look to get their offense in sync this week as they travel down route 322 to take on the Juniata Indians. The Indians are coming off of two one-point games in the same week (29-28 victory over Penns Valley on Monday & 35-34 loss to Philipsburg Osceola on Friday). The Red Raiders, however, are coming off of two games that were not so close. In their last two games, the Red Raiders have been outscored 92-6. In both games for Bellefonte, their offense has looked out of sync. Last week against Tyrone, they ran more offense plays than they had total yards (42 plays vs. 38 total yards). On the defensive side of the ball, the Red Raiders will need to focus on stopping the run. After being gouged on the ground in the last two weeks, they face a team that averages nearly 240 yards rushing per game in Juniata. The Indians are led by fullback Cody Saner’s 273 yards rushing and three touchdowns. Neil Bodley also has four scores in addition to his 151 yards rushing on the season. Quarter-back Colton Shertzer hasn’t had to pass much, as he only has 30 passing attempts through the first three games of the season. In 30 attempts, he has seven completions for 125 yards to go with one touchdown and two interceptions. Bellefonte will be looking to find some sort of consistency on the ground. Colin Turner and Alex Kaltenbach lead the way on the ground for the Red Raiders, but each has yet to eclipse the 100 yard rushing mark on the season. Kickoff is set for 7pm in Mifflintown.

HYDE – The Rams ran into a buzz saw last Friday night when they faced off with a potent Clearfield Bison team. The Bison offense, led by running back Beau Swales, amassed more than 500 yards of offense against a Rams team that held their own despite playing the much bigger school. Swales led the scoring attack in the 55-14 win with his three touchdown performance. Clearfield (3-0) used a quick strike attack through the game and had built a 14-0 lead before Penns Valley (1-2) found their way into the endzone to cut the score in half at 14-7. On the scoring drive, quarterback Sam Snyder capped off an impressive seven play, 90 yard drive with a 4-yard touchdown run. Snyder led the Rams rushing attack with 79 yards on nine carries against the Bison defense. He also led the Rams on their final scoring drive of the game in the third quarter when he tossed a 4-yard touchdown pass to Austin Auman to cut into what was at that point a massive deficit at 48-14. The touch-down for Penns Valley ended a run of five straight Clearfield touchdowns. Luke Weaver led the Penns Valley receivers by hauling in three receptions for 58 yards while Taylor Collison had five grabs for 18 yards. Snyder ended the game completing 14 of 21 passes for 98 yards with the touchdown and an early interception. The Rams will again be on the road this Friday as they head to Martinsburg to face off with a Central (1-2) team that looks to match up with Coach Marty Tobias’ team.

Rams on the Road Looking to Slay the DragonsBy Les Barnhart

Coach Marty Tobias and his Ram football team will be on the road again this Friday night as they head to Martinsburg to battle Central. That is never an easy trip to make but the Rams look to match up with a Dragons team that has not scored a point in the third quarter though three games and comes in off a 34-24 loss to Central Mountain last week. The Rams (1-2) will be playing their third road game in four games while their opponent plays in front of their home crowd for the third time in four games. Both teams have faced and defeated Bellefonte on the road as well as losing to Clear-field. Central played Clearfield closer, at least on the scoreboard as they fell 27-20 in their home opener. The teams appear even matched with their offensive attacks. The Rams, behind Sam Snyder, are throwing the ball at an average of 193 yards per game while adding 138 rushing yards. Central is a run-first offense and do so at an average of 149.3 yards per game while adding a little over a 100 yards through the air. The Dragons are led by Jarron Knisely, who averages 96-7 yards rushing per game. Penns Valley has scored 31.5 points per game while Central has scored an average of 28.3 points per game through the first three games of the season.

Little Lions Can’t Hold on Against Crusaders By Gazette Sports Department

Father Judge Crusaders quarterback Rob Daniels first pass of the night went for a 21-yard touchdown; unfortunately, it went the other way as State College linebacker Brian Laskowski snagged the ball and took it in for the score giving the Little Lions an early 7-0 lead. The Cru-saders would bounce back late in the first half though, and control the second half, as they knocked off the Little Lions 34-24. On a night when the Little Lions got some inspired play from senior fullback/linebacker Jack Haffner, State College couldn’t hold onto the early momentum that they had built up by capitalizing on several Father Judge miscues. Haffner rushed for 129 yards and scored two touchdowns, in addition to picking of another Daniels pass to setup his own one-yard plunge in the second quarter. Leading 21-7 late in the first half, the Crusaders took posses-sion at their own 33 yard line, and went 67 yards on seven plays, with Matt Smalley scoring from four yards out to make the game a one score contest. In the third quarter, the Philadelphia Catholic League powerhouse came out swinging, with Smalley scoring from five yards out, and Daniels connecting with John Landis from 46 yards out to give the Crusaders 28-21 lead. In the fourth, the Little Lions got a Josh Clothiaux 38-yard field goal to cut the lead to four, but Daniels would put the final nail in the coffin with a one yard scamper with just over one minute remaining in regulation. The Crusaders were led by running back Ramon Quinones 118 yards rushing to go along with Smalley’s 52 for a lethal one-two punch. State College (0-2) will face 3-0 Cumberland Valley Friday September 23 at Memorial Field.

Little Lions Face State Ranked Cumberland ValleyBy Gazette Sports Department

The State College Little Lions will be searching for their first win of the season at home this week as they take on the fourth ranked Cumberland Valley Eagles. For the Little Lions, a win against a state ranked opponent would go a long way, as the meat of the Mid-Penn schedule is on tap in the coming weeks for State College. The Eagles boast a stout rushing attack, averaging a little over 200 yards per game. They currently have three rushers with over 100 yards rushing on the season, while quarterback Ben Fernback has four rushing touchdowns on the season to go along with his 223 yards passing and two passing touchdowns. Tyler Hartzel leads a defense that has only given up 12 points on the season. His two sacks lead the team. For the Little Lions, it will be critical for them to get on the board early. Last week, State College had a 14 point lead late in the first half, only to have it slip away in the second half. Josh Weakland is coming off of a sub-par performance against Father Judge, and will need to lead a more efficient in the passing attack for the Little Lions to get in the win column. Kickoff is slated for 7pm at Memorial Field in State College.


With Michael Vick and DeSean Jackson banged up, the Eagles may have a tall task in hosting the New York Football Giants on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. Vick was concussed after he was thrown into an offensive lineman and Jackson injured his wrist in a heart-breaking loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night. Neither has been ruled out for Sunday as of press time, but both could be game time decisions. For the Eagles to keep pace with the Washington Redskins (yes, I just said that), they will need to knock off their NFC East rival Giants. For the Giants, they are coming off of a sloppy victory against the St. Louis Rams on Monday night. They have had their share of the injury bug as well this season, with a handful of their defensive backs lost for a significant amount of time. Eli Manning’s top target, Hakeem Nicks is also banged up, but he has played through the first two games of the season with some nagging aches and pains. Couple that with several Giant defenders faking injuries to slow down the Rams hurry-up offense, and the Giants could be in trouble this week. Coming off of a career game where he hauled in 13 pass for 171 yards and two touchdowns, Jeremy Maclin appears to be back at full strength after a scary offseason where he found himself at several different doctors’ offices who were trying to evaluate what was ailing him. Maclin and Jackson are two of the most explosive receivers in football when healthy, and can stretch a defense like no one else in the league. Throw in LeSean McCoy’s big play ability and the Eagles field an offensive team that most fantasy football owners would drool over. The game boils down to who lines up under center for the Birds. If it is Michael Vick, you know what you are getting; a phenomenal athlete who can beat you with his legs or his arm. Should Mike Kafka get the start for the Eagles, the Giants don’t have much game film on him to prepare, so he could catch them off guard. For the record, he is NOT owned in 99% of fantasy leagues across the country. The game will be televised by Fox at 1pm on Sunday.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will head to Indianapolis on Sunday night to take on Kerry Collins and the Colts. I didn’t stutter, I did say Kerry Collins. Peyton Manning has yet to play a down this season, and the likelihood of that happening is very slim if you read all of the injury reports that are out there. Collins hasn’t fared well as of late, struggling to find a rhythm with his receivers and get up to speed with the Colts complex offense. The Steelers, however, appeared to be clicking last week against the Seahawks. With the exception of their offensive line play, the Steelers looked to be back to their old selves last weekend, no pun intended. Ben Roethlisberger left the game for a few snaps after a questionable hit to his knee, but returned to lead his team for a score and finished the day tossing for nearly 300 yards. Sunday night’s game looked like an intriguing early season matchup when the schedules were released last spring, but the absence of Manning may leave fans wanting more. The Colts went from one of the upper echelon teams in the league to a bottom feeder with the injury to the face of their franchise. People that complain about Commissioner Roger Goodell’s rules on protecting quarterbacks need to look no further than former Penn State coach Jim Caldwell’s team. When Manning went down, they found themselves scram-bling to find a signal caller because of the lack of confidence in the quarterbacks on their roster. They even talked about placing a call to the “F” word this offseason when Manning went down. By the “F” word, I mean Favre. Sunday night’s meeting will be another opportunity for the Steelers to get on track versus a struggling Colt team. Should the Steelers come out and lay an egg against the winless Colts, Coach Mike Tomlin may only be in his weekly press conference for five minutes, as he and his staff search for answers. Tune into NBC Sunday night at 8:20 to see Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth call the game. Odds are Collinsworth will have nothing good to say about the Steelers, and why should he? He was a member of the Cincinnati Bengals during his playing days.

State College Elks’ Tournament Benefits Home Service Program

The Mountain League moved into the thick of conference play this week as teams’ battle for conference suprem-acy. Although it is early it appears that Philipsburg Osceola will challenge Central Mountain for the Allegh-eny Division crown and the Nittany Division is a three-team race between Juniata, Bald Eagle, and Bellefonte. Penns Valley and their youthful Rams appear to be a year away from challeng-ing for the top spot in the division. Penns Valley started the week jumping out to a 1-0 lead over Bellefonte at the 7:07 mark as Jake Lundy tucked a shot behind the Bellefonte keeper for the Rams first lead of the season. In the 22nd minute Jordan Newman got the equalizer for Bellefonte and nine minutes later Newman assisted on the Red Raiders go ahead goal to stake Bellefonte to a 2-1 halftime lead. In the second half both teams battled back and forth and Bellefonte held off a barrage of Penns Valley shots to grab the Mountain League victory. The Rams out shot the Red Raiders 26-14. Both Scott Case and Scott Martz were impressed with their team’s efforts and they both commented that the game was a classic soccer match that could have gone either way. On

Saturday the Rams traveled to Juniata with four starters sidelined with injuries and Juniata delivered a dominant per-formance in blanking the Rams 5-0. Penns Valley wrapped up their sequence of three straight conference tilts with an away game in Wingate against Bald Eagle. The two rivals battled to a score-less tie at the half but seven minutes into the second half Dan Styles received a beautiful through ball and buried it in the net beating a leaping Frankie Randazzo for the go ahead goal and a 1-0 lead. Minutes later Styles slashed through the Penns Valley defense and beat Randazzo again for a 2-0 lead and the Eagles finished the scoring in the 80th minute to grab a 3-0 win against the boys from Spring Mills. Bald Eagle out shot the Rams 23-2 as the Rams weathered an intense attacking Bald Eagle team in the second half. Coach Jason Bair was pleased with his teams’ effort and is thrilled that his team con-tinues to improve every week. Penns Valley Coach Scott Case noted that he had eight freshmen and sophomore’s on the field at the end of the game and the future is bright for his team. Bald Eagle tuned up for the Penns Valley match by playing District 4

powerhouse Shikellamy on Saturday in another classic struggle that went to double overtime. It appeared the game was headed for a tie when Bald Eagle was whistled for a foul in the box in the 98th minute. Shikellamy stepped to the spot and delivered the game winning penalty kick for a 1-0 Shikellamy victory. In other Mountain League action Bellefonte battled Philipsburg Osceola and lost a heartbreaker in overtime 3-2. PO also grabbed a victory over Hunt-ingdon beating the Bearcats 1-0 and Central Mountain dumped Clearfield 7-1.

Conference play heats up in the Mountain League

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

was set last week. Kevin Harvick was runner-up to Stewart, with Dale Earnhart Jr, Carl Edwards and Brad Keselowski rounding out the top five. With the win, Stewart pulled to within seven points of Cup leader Harvick. Heading into this weekend, the top five in points are only separated by 13 points.

Bellefonte Cross Country Results

STATE COLLEGE – On Sunday, Septem-ber 18, the Happy Valley Dolls Roller Derby team scored their first victory in Centre County’s first-ever Roller Derby match at the Penn Skates Roller Rink. The Dolls, members of the State College Area Rollers (SCAR), defeated the New Jersey Hellrazors from New Brunswick, NJ, by a score of 127 to 103, in a match filled with thrills and spills! This was the second match in the Dolls’ first season, which they call the Maiden Voyage. They skated against a team in Rochester, NY, losing badly, which made the home rink victory even sweeter for the team and the capacity crowd! In Roller Derby, two five-member teams consisting of four blockers and one jammer, skate in an oval path around the rink. Points are scored when a team’s jammer passes through the other team’s blockers (one point for each blocker passed). Contact is allowed, so there are many bumps and hits. In the name of safety and sportsmanship, certain types of hits are not allowed (using elbows, for example). Violations result in hockey-style penalty-box time for the offender. The action is fast-paced and continuous, and falls are common. The match consisted of two 30-minute halves with a 20-minute halftime break. Anyone who had seen

the SCAR team’s inter-squad scrim-mages in February and May noticed a big difference on Sunday night. Right from the start, the action was faster, and the contact was rougher. Many skaters on both teams were being knocked down or against the wall, sometimes in chain reaction crashes that took out three or four at a time. The skaters have learned in practice drills how to fall to minimize injury, and to recover quickly. They are required to wear helmets, elbow and knee pads, and mouth guards for protection against injuries. The Hellrazors took an early lead in the

match, but by about the middle of the first half, the Happy Valley Dolls took over and never looked back. Many times the Dolls’ jammers (Hootie’s Bootie #8 and Sounds Like Magic #21) seemed to blast through the pack of skaters as if shot out of a cannon,

leaving the Jersey girls won-dering what happened! The Razors never gave up, though. They continued to skate well and score points right up to the end of the match, but the Dolls’ lead was too much to overcome. The State College Area Rollers were orga-nized less than a year ago, in October of 2010, so they are a relatively new team in the Roller Derby League. Kristen Smeal, head of SCAR publicity said she was excited about the win on Sunday, since they defeated a more seasoned team in the Hellrazors. She noted that SCAR

has five more Roller Derby matches planned from October through early December. The next match is scheduled October 1 at the Penn Skates Roller Rink on High Tech Road in State College, when the SCAR’s Penn-syltucky Punishers will take on the SCAR’s Mt. Nittany Mayhem.

STATE COLLEGE – When Viktor White began shooting Olympic air rifle with Tussey Mountain 4-H Rifle Club, he never imagined that two years later he’d be wearing a shooting jacket with the letters U.S.A. on the back. White has been invited to compete with the US team at the 2011 International Paralym-pic Committee Shooting World Cup. The event will be held in October at Fort Benning, GA. White, who has cerebral palsy and shoots from a wheelchair, will be competing with the US contin-gent against shooters from more than 20 nations. While not cur-rently seeded to qualify for the 2012 London games, his goal at the World Cup is clear – to shoot a personal best in both the offhand and prone events, and hopefully achieve an MQS, or Minimum Qualifying Score, for the United States, which would allow Team U.S.A. to be allocated more competition slots in London. “For now, that’s the best way I can help our team. It definitely gives me a huge motivation to do my best,” he said. After competing successfully in NRA sectional and regional matches for his first two seasons, White was chosen to attend a fall training camp at the Olympic Shooting Center in Colorado Springs. His next stop was the 2011 USA Shooting National Championships in July, where he made it to the final rounds in the Paralympic division. Shortly afterwards he received his invitation to compete for the United States in the World Cup. “It’s a huge honor to be representing my country. It was always my dream to compete internationally; I just never thought I’d be getting the chance to do it this soon.” Shooters typically train for seven to 10 years before competing at the international level. White, a senior in high school, has gotten off to a quick start, but he knows there is still plenty of hard work ahead of him. “It’s a long haul to get to the Paralympics. There’s a lot of stiff competition out there. The World Cup will be an awesome opportunity to get experience shooting at the Olympic level,” Viktor said. He plans to add small-bore rifle to his competition schedule next year, and hopes to eventually qualify for the US National Team. “I really enjoy shooting. I’ve met some great people in this sport, and I hope to continue competing for a long time,” he said. When he’s not on the practice range, White can often be found at the State College YMCA, where he swims and works out regularly in the gym. He is also active with Boy Scout Troop 32 in State College, and Squadron 338 of the Civil Air Patrol, PA 5th Wing.

Local Youth Takes Aim at World Shooting CupShoots from his wheelchair

Paddlers Invited to Sunnyside Slalom This WeekendBy Dave Kurtz

Heavy rains in September forced the cancellation of two of the Penn Cup Slaloms, the Little Lehigh (they had eight feet of water higher than usual – 1,000 cubic feet where the usual flow is 50 CFS) and the Fiddlers Elbow Slalom near Hummelstown where they had floods that covered the bridge at the site (on top of the bridge was one house roof plus a big tree) and the Harrisburg club thought it inappropriate to have a slalom there in the face of all that devastation. So Mach One is stepping up and hosting a slalom at our own Sunnyside Paddling Park this weekend, September 24 and 25. We figure it will be a relatively small crowd so we decided on having two courses, on Saturday afternoon and on Sunday morning. We’ll have ribbon prizes plus a door prize drawing on Sunday after the race. The drawing will feature equipment items, mostly used but in good condition. The flow on Spring Creek is currently at 275 CFS which makes a pretty easy course. Some of our own very actively training kids will also not be there; they’ll be competing at the Dickerson, MD slalom this weekend. That opens the door for more places than usual. We’ll have two-year youth classes, etc. so everyone could end up with a prize and a place. I encourage kids and adults who haven’t joined us to enter this event. Entry fees are only $5 per class on Saturday and another $5 per class on Sunday. Those who are not USACK members will need to either become members (all our Mach One active members need to be active USACK members) or pay an event fee of $5. There is a $5 discount for donating one or more door prizes. Our fleet of boats with corresponding paddles, etc. is available for free use for this event.

Shaver’s Creek to Host Second Music Festival Penn State’s Shaver’s Creek Envi-ronmental Center announced the 2011 Music Festival at the center in Barree Township, Huntingdon County on Sunday, September 25 from 1–7 p.m. Three exciting, local bands, Dreams and Bones, Poor Folk, and SkyTop Blues, will be taking the stage throughout the afternoon, and local food vendors will be on hand with delicious food for sale. Dreams and Bones is an acoustic quartet formed in the fall of 2009. Their songs are a mix of original Ameri-cana compositions, classic folk tunes and acoustic rock from the past four decades. Their unique blend of instru-mental arrangements and vocal har-monies are both tasteful and powerful. Next up will be Poor Folk, with members Chris Rattie, Junior Tutwiler and Corry Drake from the nationally touring band Rustland-ers. This all-star lineup will bring a unique blend of old country, rock and Americana music to the stage. The festival will draw to a rocking close with SkyTop Blues, a five-piece blues band from central PA. The band plays a diverse mix of electric blues from artists like the Allman Brothers Band,

Jimi Hendrix, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. A Shaver’s Creek Facebook fan was quoted as saying, “I love this – two of my favorite things together – Shaver’s Creek and music!” This fundraiser for Shaver’s Creek is rain or shine, and there will be no refunds. The funds raised at last year’s Music Fest helped the Creek build this timber-frame stage, completed in March, which will serve as the focal point for this year’s musical acts. This year’s proceeds will help to improve the stage, including the addition of stage lights and backstage roof. Food vendors include The Sus-tainable Kitchen and Gemelli Bakers, who will have their portable pizza oven on site. A percentage of vendors’ sales will go to support stage improvements. Tickets are on sale now, and cost $10 for adults, $5 for students from

grade school to grad school, and $5 for seniors 65 and over. Children six and younger are free. To pre-order, call Shaver’s Creek (814) 863-2000, or stop by the Creek seven days a week, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets are also on sale at Appalachian Outdoors in State College and Standing Stone Coffee Company in Huntingdon. Only a limited number of tickets are available. For more information on the Music Festival and other Shaver’s Creek programs, visit their website at www.ShaversCreek.org.

Last year’s Shavers Creek Music Fest raised funds for this timber-frame stage, which the musicians will use on Sunday.

What can be said about Cirque du Soleil that has not already been said? They are really shows that make you aware that you have been holding your breath as the

performers execute amazing feats on the ground and in the air. Cirque du Soleil: Quidam at the Bryce Jordan Centre is a great example of the art of the European circus, no animals, but human bodies doing what looks like the impossible. The music, the costumes, and the stage itself add to the magic. From the moment that the figure without a head and carrying a large umbrella enters, it is apparent that something different is going to happen. The story is very loosely that of a lonely, young girl who is taken into a world of imagination, hope, and fun. In that

world she finds high-flying acrobats, impossible physical feats, beautiful balancing acts of strength, clowns, and a touch of the burlesque. I found that I had stopped breathing during several of the aerial acts. My comfort level with heights is nonexistent and so I am very impressed with people who can perform gym-nastic tricks overhead. One of the first acts was titled “Aerial Hoops” and it was truly “ballet in the sky.” The costumes and the grace of the three people were beautiful. The other extreme was a vaudevillian act involving a lot of audience participation. Four members of the audience were “directed” through the filming of a silent movie. As they were asked to act out parts that became more and more outrageous, they became more and more comfortable and the results were very funny. This act must change with each show and must be fun for all involved. Cirque du Soleil is a mind-boggling event. What really is impressive is that most of the acts take place on a revolving stage. I can not imagine trying to do a balancing or juggling act – let alone jump rope – on a stage that is not still. If you missed this one, hope that Brice Jordon does it again. By the way, there was not a bad seat in the house. It is directed for the entire audience.

Things You May Not Know About !


The Strawbs formed in England in 1964 as the “Strawberry Hill Boys” playing bluegrass music. An early member of the band was Sandy Denny who went on to join the English folk rock group, Fairport Convention. Rick Wakeman was also once a member of The Strawbs. Wakeman went on to become the keyboard player for the progressive rock band Yes. Although The Strawbs started as a bluegrass band, they eventually became a progressive rock band and finally arrived in the U.S. in 1974. The ‘Acoustic’ Strawbs features members David Cousins, Chas Cronk, and Dave Lambert doing acoustic versions of Strawbs classics. I recently had a phone conversation with David Cousins to discuss his early bluegrass influences, the progression of the band and what we can expect to hear next week in State College.DB: What was it that drew you to bluegrass music back in your early days of the Strawberry Hill Boys?DC: I was given a record of the Newport Folk Festival with Flatt & Scruggs on it. And I played it over and over and over again. I was playing guitar at the time and I didn’t have a banjo and I thought, ‘I want to be able to play banjo like that.’ So, I got myself a banjo and the only way I could work out how it was played was to slow the record down to half-speed and listen to what Earl Scruggs was playing and then work out the finger patterns.But it was astonishing listening to music like that. Nobody else in England was playing it. DB: Your sound eventually changed from folk-rock to pro-gressive rock. Was there anything in particular that happened that helped shape the new sound for the band?DC: Well, But, the banjo was a very short lived thing. Once I started to see ‘real’ bluegrass banjo players, I realized that I couldn’t compete. I found that playing the banjo as I did was very mechanical and not particularly artistically satisfying. But The Strawbs never made any conscious move to become a ‘Prog Rock’ band. Everything has evolved naturally. When I was at college, I took a few classical guitar lessons. And, the whole thing began to make sense when Rick Wakeman joined the band because you had my sort of ‘pretend’ classical

guitar tunings and Rick playing piano. But, Rick...said ‘What are those chords?’ And I played him my chords in tune and he said, ‘That’s discordant. You can’t play that.’ So, he evolved his rippling piano style through us. So, when Rick came into the band, we took on another evolution. When he left the band, we brought in Blue Weaver who brought in much more of a pop feel and a rock feel into it. Gradually, as John Hawken joined the whole thing evolved again. It’s been a continual evolution and it’s still going on.DB: What can people expect in your live show?DC: It’s the Acoustic Strawbs, not the electric band. There’s three of us. We sit down. We have three guitars. But also we have a few tricks up our sleeves. It’s archaic with the sound of the vocals, but it’s a very modern sound in what we do. And, it makes a hell of a noise. The show starts at 8 p.m. on Wednesday night at The State Theatre, Downtown State College. Tickets were still available at the time of the writing of this article.

Wednesday night (9/28) will be a very special night at the State Theatre. Legendary British band, The Zombies,are currently on their 50th Anniver-sary Tour. The tour once again reunites original members Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent and will make a stop in State College. The Zombies formed in 1961 led by Argent on piano and Blunstone on vocals. They scored three Top Ten hits in the U.S. with She’s Not There and Tell Her No in 1964, and Time Of The Season in 1969. Ironically, the band had broken up in 1968 prior to Time Of The Season hitting the U.S. charts. Their reunion tour has been embraced by audi-ences and features new material and a repertoire

that draws heavily upon the Zombies catalog and solo hits. Special guests for this show will be the Acoustic Strawbs. The show starts at 8 p.m. on Wednesday night at The State Theatre, Downtown State College. Tickets were still available at the time of the writing of this article.

The British are Coming! The British are Coming!By Don Bedell

Cliff Turner & The Afterburners were a staple on the local music scene from 1995 through 2007. Playing the music of Steely Dan, The Doobie Brothers, and Van Morrison, among others, they entertained audiences regularly at the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts, the Bellefonte Arts & Crafts fair, the Tussey Mountain Wingfest Challenge, and the Bellefonte Cruise. They also had the privilege of opening up for the Beach Boys, Pure Prairie League, and Beatlemania. The band reunited last Friday night, Sep-tember 16 in support of the YMCA of Centre County. Approximately 150 people attended the event at the State College Elks Country Club. According to YMCA Marketing and Communi-cations Director Mary DeArmitt, the dance floor was packed the entire night. The band had a great time and the attendees did as well.

DeArmitt says that the event raised money for the YMCA to make a small renovation at the Bellefonte location.

Hailing from California, Frank Fairfield brought his unique style of solo old-time music to Lemont on Saturday, September 17 as the first event in this season’s Acoustic Brew Concert Series. He played to a packed hall of enthusiastic folk music lovers in the Center for Well-Being, 123 Mount Nittany Road. Frank Fairfield’s rough and rustic playing style and high, reedy voice would be right at home on a Smith-sonian Folkways album. He plays a battered-looking guitar, fiddle, and banjo that look like survivors of times past. He says he picked them for their character. In appearance, Fair-field, who is in his 20s, also reminds one of the past, with his parted and slicked-down hair, mustache, high waist pants, button-down shirt, and conservatively styled suit coat. An ardent collector of old 78 rpm vinyl albums, Fairfield plays traditional American old-time, blues, and Eastern European dance tunes, along with songs he wrote. He per-formed as a street musician in Los Angeles, and was the opening act for the 2009 Fleet Foxes tour. Fairfield recorded a self-titled solo album of traditional songs for Tompkins Square Records, and an album of music from around the world selected from his 78s col-lection. In his latest release, Out on the Open West, Fairfield performed his own composi-tions, accompanied by Willie Watson of Old Crow Medicine Show and other guest musi-cians. In addition to CDs and MP3s, his albums are available on vinyl. The intimate size and excellent acous-tics of the concert hall suited Fairfield’s style. His rough-edged voice rose in volume then softened until the audience leaned forward to hear the stories he sang. Many of his songs addressed the harsh side of life: booze addic-tion, murder, stealing, death, and heartbreak. When he introduced Railroad Bill, he said, “We feel the same things when we sing sad songs of murder and death, songs we sing about bad men and rascals. Sometimes we want to root for the bad guys.” He played some “out of favor” old-time jigs, mazurkas, and polkas, inspired by the diverse settlers in his home state of Texas, and also played the Boll Weevil, a song he likened to a rascal song. “You can’t do anything about it no matter what you throw at it. This little bug’s gonna get you.” He rested the fiddle on his left forearm to play it, rather than on his shoulder. When asked why, he said, “It just gradually drifted down. It felt confining up there.” His passionate style of playing seemed

intentionally rough and unrefined, empha-sizing percussive effects and the whims of the artist. He played his instruments with gusto, sawing the bow across the fiddle until the catgut flew, and tapping or stomping his foot as a rhythmic accompaniment. While strum-ming or bowing, he plucked the strings, adding loud, percussive notes to his music. Twelve year old Helen Karp of Millheim sat right in front of the stage. “It was amazing!” she said. “I’m a fiddle player – it was like a deep passion to be close to that playing, and see it and learn from it....His fingers were just blurs. Especially on the banjo, his fingers were just flying!” “It was spectacular!” said her mother, Joan Karp. “The mazurka (Polish dance music) he played I could have listened to all night. I only regret that we didn’t get up and dance....That’s what’s great about this little venue. You get to be there, so close.” The audience gave Fairfield a standing ovation. The Acoustic Brew is a non-profit, vol-unteer-run concert series of folk and acoustic music performances. Upcoming shows at the Center for Well-Being include blue-grass band Frank Solivan and Dirty Kitchen on October 22, singer-songwriter Mary Gauthier on November 5, and folk musicians Doug and Telisha Williams on November 19. The Acoustic Brew is working to finalize a December 7 concert with songwriter and instrumentalist Darrell Scott at WPSU Studios in the Outreach Building in Inno-vation Park. Shows begin at 7:30 p.m., and ticket prices range from $16 to $19. Students with IDs receive a $2 discount. For tickets and more information, check their website, http://acousticbrew.org/contacts.html, or call (814) 404-6028.
