While reflecting on Presidents Day and our special feature about Bellefonte: Home ofGovernors, the state’s rich American history and heritage came to mind. In 1681, 331years ago, King Charles II granted the state’s land charter to William Penn, thus repayinga debt to Penn’s father (close to $2.1 million in today’s money).

Pennsylvania is the origin of many of America’s important events and innovations –General Washington crossing the Delaware to battle the Hessians in December 1776,the drafting and signing of the declaration of Independence, the first U.S. capital, thefirst American currency, the first American college (Dickenson), the Horseshoe Curve(an engineering feat that facilitated westward expansion), the Battle of Gettysburg, thefirst oil well (Titusville), and the first steel mill (Harrisburg). Here’s a Centre Countyfirst: in 1881, Philipsburg was the first electrically illuminated community.

We can even celebrate entertaining firsts like the nation’s first zoo (Philadelphia), firstroller coaster (Jim Thorpe), first pretzel factory, first World Series (against the BostonRed Sox), first Thanksgiving Day Parade (Philly), first department store (Wannamaker’s)and first commercial radio station (KDKA Pittsburgh).

Known as the Quaker State, The Oil State, and the Coal State (a vast source of thecountry’s fuel for centuries), our greatest nicknames are The Keystone State and The In-dependence State. William Penn’s original ideas for county commissions and freedomof religious conviction spread across the land, and thefirst protestation against slavery, and ratification of thefirst abolition law took place in Pennsylvania. Wash-ington fought here. Lincoln spoke here. In many ways,America began here.

There many local museums, where you can find outmore about the history that made central Pennsylvaniaan all-American region of which we can be very proud:The Bellefonte Museum for Centre County, Colum-bus Chapel and Boal Museum, Milesburg Museum,Penns Valley Historical Society, Bellefonte HistoricalRailroad, Pennsylvania Military Museum, BoalsburgHeritage Museum, Centre Furnace Mansion, CurtinVillage, and the Simler House in Philipsburg, to namea few. (I feel a Gazette Centre County History seriescoming on.)

You’ll also find new beginnings in this issue. Amyshares news of her visit to the new Bellefonte WeisMarket, set to open Feb. 26. Karen reports on the rib-bon cutting at Pets Come First, the new SPCA in Cen-tre Hall. Sam comments on the new NorthwestSavings Bank in Old Fort, and the heritage of 100-year-old building they vacated.

This issue includes details on important comingevents including the State College Volunteer Weekend,Feb. 24-26; Bellefonte’s Volunteer Fair, March 3;Acoustic Brew’s 20th Anniversary concert, Feb. 25; thefirst Oscar and I sing-along at The State Theatre, Feb.24-26; the Golden Eagle Weekend at Bald Eagle StatePark, March 3-5; and the Lady Lions’ Pink Zone game,Feb. 26; prompting next week’s feature on cancer, sup-port groups and services, and the quest for the cure.

In the meantime, be on the lookout for local his-toric tidbits. They’re everywhere in town and country– telling the story of our beginnings, providing sourcesof great pride.

By Kristina Tice, PrincipalBELLEFONTE – On Monday, Jan. 30, as part of their Catholic Schools Weekcelebration, students at St. John Catholic School spent the day spreading thespirit of St. John through a variety of service projects.

After delivering a basket of goodies to some of our local ‘lifesavers’ at theUndines Fire Company, the Kindergarten class was treated to a tour of the sta-tion. When the volunteer fireman giving the tour turned on the flashing lightshe asked the children, “Who knows what you do when you see these flashinglights?” One young boy immediately raised his hand. Without hesitation hestated simply, “You say a prayer.”

That is why parents choose Catholic education. The week was filled with great moments that reinforced this year’s theme of

faith, academics and service. Each class participated in a similar service project.

Our Pre-K and fourth grades were focused on serving local nursing homes, whilefirst and fifth grades helped both the Faith Centre and Food Bank.

Centre County PAWS came to visit our second graders, who had collectedmuch needed items for their facility, to educate the class on their mission andanimal safety.

Third grade spent time collecting and carefully assembling items for JaredBoxes, which will be used at Mount Nittany Medical Center to help entertainchildren who are admitted for extended stays. They also were visited by educatorswho talked to them about what to expect if they should ever have to visit thehospital.

Later in the week, after a prayer service to celebrate our faith led by FatherNeil Dadey, students from St. Joseph’s Catholic Academy surprised each class asguest readers. Students also took time during the week to show their appreciationto their parents, teachers, and school volunteers.

On Friday, members of the Penn State Blue Band came to end the weeklongcelebration with a pep rally, complete with a touching rendition of our schoolsong, This is St. John. It was another great week at St. John Catholic School!

The Penn State Blue Band sent members for a school pep rally.

Students enjoyed inspirational story telling.

They learned about medical emergencies and being hospitalized.

PAWS visited and received donations.

American History Month Celebrated by Essay Contest Winners

DAR District Director Presents AlaskaProgram

The February 11 program featured the DAR North Central District Di-rector Diane Whitaker. Diane received a travel grant from Delta KappaGamma, an honor society, to study the Native Americans in Alaska.

Diane presented her study of native cultures, comparing the past to thepresent. Her slide show was enhanced with beautiful pictures of the Alaskanlandscape and the people she met, including at Eskimo towns in northernAlaska, above the Arctic Circle.

Like their ancestors, they rely on natural resources for much of their ex-istence and to maintain their culture. There are many small communities,each with its own kinship structure, art, music, stories, practices, and toolsfor hunting, fishing, and gathering. They also rely on canned food, buildingsupplies, and heating fuel that are flown in; there are no roads. Permafrostis two feet below the surface and summer is short, so gardening isn’t pos-sible. Regular flights bring in specialists in modern medicine, and Medi-vac is available for emergencies.

Igloos are a part of the past, so the oldest homes still in use are made ofsod. Since the 1950s, many new structures have been built using modernbuilding materials.

Unemployment is high, and most jobs are part-time. There is employ-ment in the police force, borough building, school and tribal council. Tel-evision is provided via satellite dish. There are youth sports leagues andother activities much like our own children enjoy. The dominant religionis Presbyterian.

After leaving the north, Diane went to the interior of Alaska, home ofthe Athabascan tribes. The tribal elders work at maintaining traditions andvalues and make major decisions for the community. Diane found Athabas-can Values posted in many public buildings, based on family unity, hardwork, honesty, responsibility and respect for the land and culture.

The Alaskan Native Language Center was founded in 1972 for the pur-pose of saving the 20 native Alaskan languages. Diane brought books thattold traditional stories in both native language and English translation. Thecenter offers bilingual programs and oral history, encouraging youth tolearn the native languages of their ancestors.

Like their northern neighbors, the Athabascan’s rely on hunting, fishingand gathering. Caribou and moose make up most of their clothing, whilesalmon are caught in a water wheel and preserved by drying. Women areemployed as teachers, clerks, and health aides, but many practice traditionalcrafts for the tourist trade.

Diane learned that, as in the past, the Alaskan Native Americans’ wayof life is tied to the land. They work at maintaining ties to their past, evenas modern civilization has brought them new challenges and improvementslike modern medicine, transportation such as snowmobiles, and money,thanks to the oil industry which subsidizes every Alaskan native. The bal-ance between maintaining tribal cultural identity and enjoying 21st centuryadvantages was evident.

The National Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in1890 in part to perpetuate the memory of the spirit of the men and womenwho achieved American independence – to record, preserve, and recall theiraccomplishments. Centre County has approximately 207 RevolutionaryWar soldiers and patriots buried here. Could your ancestor be one? For in-formation about Bellefonte Chapter of the DAR please contact RegentDolores Ritter at [email protected].

The Sign by Raymond Khoury is a fast movingthriller that might not be for everyone. If you haveread Khoury before, you know that he is not afraidto cover controversial subjects.

Journalist Grace Logan is in Antarctica with ascientific expedition. They are there to witness themelting of the large ice shelves for a live televisionpiece on Global warming. As they are filming a

spectacularly large chunk falling into the ocean, a massive, shimmering sphereof light suddenly appears above them. Thanks to Grace’s live report this myste-rious light is seen all over the world.

After a second sphere appears at the North Pole, Grace is sent to Egypt to in-vestigate the sphere’s third appearance. In Egypt, Grace meets Father Jerome.Father Jerome has left his well known work with orphanages in the poorest of

poor areas to live in a cave in the desert. The mediagrabs hold of the idea that the mysterious light isa sign from God that Father Jerome is the newprophet with the message to stop killing the earth,to put an end to global warming.

Meanwhile, back in Boston, Matt Sherwoodhas been mourning his scientist brother Danny’sdeath. Danny had been working on a secret proj-ect in a remote area in South America when hishelicopter crashed and all on board were killed.Now Matt finds evidence that Danny might bealive, but this information puts Matt and thosearound him in danger.

The book switches locations chapter by chapter and in the beginning the in-troduction to so many characters was a little confusing and slowed the bookdown. Once each character became clear, the booked moved rapidly.

This book is definitely a thriller, but it is also a chance for the author to expresshis personal views on global warming, religion in politics, how easy it is to starta religious war, and some other controversial subjects. At first, I found myself inagreement with many of the philosophies of the bad guys until they showed howeven things that start out well can be corrupted.

If you have read Raymond Khoury’s The Last Templar, youwill find The Sign equally fascinating for its subject matteralone. I am ready for his next publication.

Article & photos by Sam StitzerCENTRE HALL – The Centre Hall branch of theNorthwest Savings Bank began operations in abrand new facility on February 13. The new build-ing is at 104 Winfield Drive, just off Rte. 45 at OldFort. Bank Office Manager, Glenn Fultz and DistrictManager Ed Kifer are both excited about the moveinto the new building, and look forward to servingtheir customers’ financial needs. The new structureis a bright, roomy, and attractive contemporary de-sign.

The bank’s previous building on North Pennsyl-vania Avenue in Centre Hall is celebrating its 100thyear, having been built in 1912 as a home for theprinting plant for the long defunct Centre Reporternewspaper. This publication began in Aaronsburg in1827 as a two-page paper printed in German on oneside and English on the other. It moved to CentreHall in 1868, and continued to publish (in Englishonly) until February 29, 1940. Sometime after theCentre Reporter’s demise, the First National Bank ofCentre Hall (later bought by Northwest Savings

Bank) moved into the building, and remained thereuntil now.

The old bank building was designed by architectAnna Wagner Keichline (1889-1943), a Bellefontenative who became the first female architect to beregistered in the state of Pennsylvania. She earned adegree in architecture from Cornell University. Herfirst design was for a schoolhouse in Milesburg. Shealso designed several buildings in Bellefonte, includ-ing the Plaza Theater, the Cadillac Garage andApartments, the Harvey Apartments, and some pri-vate homes.

The Centre Reporter described their new facility ina 1912 issue as being “modern, built of light Romanbrick. There will be no effort to be extravagant, butnothing will be omitted to make the structure of amost substantial character.” The 100-year longevityof Ms. Keichline’s design is a testament to her skillas an architect. During construction of the buildingin 1912, the Centre Reporter said “The foundationwalls for the Reporter block are about completed andan effort will be made to lay the sills and first floor be-fore workmen lay off for the Grange Encampment and

Fair.” I guess some things haven’t changed in 100years!

My thanks go to retired school teacher and localhistorian, Ruth Rishel, for providing the historicalinformation regarding the former bank building andAnna Wagner Keichline for this article. Now thequestion is: will the new bank building last 100years?

The bank’s former building is 100 years old. The Centre Hall Post Office occupied the right half of the building for many years. Northwest Savings Bank’s new facility at Old Fort.

Office manager, Glenn Fultz works in his office in the bank’s newbuilding.

The new building features a spacious lobby.

How YOU Can Help February 24 – February 26: Community Volunteer WeekendBy Ebun Adewumi

Out of trouble times, good things will arise. The Community VolunteerWeekend is one of them. Scheduled over the weekend of Feb. 24 to Feb.26 it falls in the same weekend that State Patty’s Day occurs. State Patty’sDay, Saturday, Feb. 25, is a recent Penn State tradition that draws thousandsof students, both from in town and out of town, and encourages them todrink alcohol all day.

Last year, Community Volunteer Day organizers established, throughpost-event focus groups that maintaining unity between Penn State andthe State College community was essential to making future progress in re-sponse to State Patty’s Day. Many participants shared their belief that work-ing together versus against each other would achieve desirable outcomes.

This year the goal for Community Volunteer Weekend (Feb. 24 to 26)is to expand activities to include more community groups and make theinformation about the activities easily accessible to all.

Therefore, in addition to providing a sober presence on the day of (Sat-urday), further community building activities throughout the weekend willbe offered to increase opportunities for continuous engagement.

By Amy Debach ConferIn the depths of the winter, one may feel that spring is too far off to begin

thinking of the clear waters that flow through Centre County – and the beautifulfish that inhabit them. However, fishing local streams can be good all year long.For the Women Anglers group, who meet once a month to talk about trout sea-son or the perfect fishing rendezvous, it’s always a good time to think about flyfishing.

The Women Anglers group, based in State College, was started approximatelyin September 2007 by Chris Bracken-Piper a women angler, skilled fisherwoman,and occasional guide who was interested in having company while fishing as wellas being able to share knowledge and meet new friends with a common fly-fish-ing interest.

The group has grown since their inception and now sends out approximately100 e-mails to interested individuals regarding the group’s monthly meetings,workshops, and outings. While that many emails are sent out, there is a coregroup of about seven or eight women who actively participate each month.

Sometimes the meetings consist of gathering by a stream and actually fishing,while other meetings take place to discuss favorite fishing spots in Centre Countysuch as Fisherman’s Paradise, the Spring Creek Canyon, Penns Creek, and Fish-ing Creek. This month the group will meet Feb. 19 with a theme meeting calledthe The Second Annual Joe Humphreys Film Festival. The group will bring a snackand watch Joe Humphreys DVD’s. Joe is a local author, educator, and conser-vationist (among other noteworthy accomplishments) who is avid fly fisherman,himself.

As well as monthly meetings, the Women Anglers group also participates inworkshops and outings. Workshop topics have included fly tying or casting whilean exciting outing was a weekend retreat at a local resort along the Little JuniataRiver. Here, Erick Stroup, a local guide and fisherman showed the women knotand fly tying techniques, explained the best fishing attire and equipment forwomen, and suggested how to maintain balance and stay hydrated. The weekendalso included great food, a fly casting demo, and time on the river with personalguides to practice their skills, in hopes of catching a beautiful fish.

I spoke with Judi Sittler about the Women Anglers group and the waters ofSpring Creek. Judi is a member of the Women Anglers club and president of theSpring Creek Chapter of the Trout Unlimited, a national organization (wherePennsylvania holds the most chapters).

Judi spoke of TCO and Fly-fisher’s Paradise, two fly-fishing based businessesin State College, who have been extremely supportive of the Women Anglers

club. Fly-fishers Paradise offered an afternoon fly-tying workshop for the club,while TCO offered an empty room for the group to hold meetings.

Judi also acknowledged George Daniel, who works at TCO and is a fly fishingchampion, for meeting the club on the stream and teaching fishing tactics andtips.

The Women Anglers club mostly chooses to fish on Spring Creek because,hence the name, the stream is spring fed, very strong, and stays a fairly even tem-perature throughout the year. Spring Creek bubbles over limestone which createsperfect conditions for trout and a great environment for the bugs such as Mayfliesand the Green Drake that the fish eat. Because Spring Creek is a Class A stream,it is appealing for fisherman all over the country and world. Even former Presi-dent Jimmy Carter and actor, Liam Neeson, among others, have fished theselocal waters. Another reason for the draw may be that the Spring Creek is not astocked stream. Instead, it is a catch-and-release stream whose wild trout havebeen able to spawn and reproduce naturally.

Most who fish these streams are interested in the beauty around them, beingin nature, and being careful not to harm the fish so they can return to the streamfor the sport of fishing.

If you are a novice or advanced fly fisher-woman or would simply like to learnmore about the beauty and sport of fly fishing, please contact Jean Brenchley [email protected], to be added to the e-mail list for upcoming Women Angler meet-ings, workshops, and outings. Fly fishing, especially in this well-known nook ofthe country, is truly a way to connect with nature and yourself.

Women Anglers Love Flyfishing

Contributed by Mount Nittany Medical CenterSTATE COLLEGE – If your valentine gave you a box of chocolate, eat yourheart out! Emerging research investigating the benefits of chocolate is promisingfor chocoholics, according to Joeleen Stocker, MS, RD, LDN, Clinical Dietitian,Mount Nittany Medical Center.

“PubMed, a reputable online resource comprised of more than 21 million ci-tations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and on-line books, offers a body of mounting evidence on the benefits of chocolate,”says Stocker.

Stocker summarized some of the more recent articles, of which there are hun-dreds. Over the last few years, the evidence of many studies are now supportingthat natural cocoa and chocolate may have beneficial effects for those at risk forcardiovascular disease, she says.

Here is the research, in a nutshell, or, shall we say, a cocoa bean:The cocoa bean contains a nutrient called flavonoids. Flavoniods have an an-

tioxidant effect and can protect against cell damage and environmental toxins. Flavanols are the main type of flavonoid found in cocoa and chocolate. In ad-

dition to having antioxidant qualities, research shows that flavanols have otherpotential health benefits, such as lowering blood pressure, improving blood flowto the brain and heart, and making blood platelets less sticky.

It's important to know that not all forms of chocolate contain high levels of

flavanols. Cocoa naturally has a very strong, bitter taste, which comes from theflavanols. When cocoa is processed into your favorite chocolate products, it goesthrough several steps to reduce this taste. The more chocolate is processed, themore flavanols are lost.

Most store-bought chocolates are highly processed. It was once believed thatdark chocolate contained the highest levels of flavanols, however now we knowthis may not be true. The processing method determines how much flavanolsremain in the chocolate. The good news is that most major chocolate manufac-turers are developing ways to keep the fla-vanols in their processed chocolates.But for now, your best choices arelikely dark chocolate rather thanmilk chocolate.

Stocker’s advice is, “For now,enjoy moderate portions ofchocolate, a one-ounce serving, afew times per week, and don'tforget to eat other flavonoid-richfoods like apples, berries, grapes,teas, onions, and other colorful fruitsand vegetables.”

Thetransfer of administration occurred on Jan. 1, 2012.In February, Pets Come First celebrated their GrandOpening with several fund-raising events, culminat-ing with the official Ribbon Cutting and GrandOpening Celebration on Sunday, Feb. 12.

"Sixty animals were adopted since we opened,"said Cheryl Sharer, Pets Come First board memberand former SPCA staff member. "Thirty-four dogsand 26 cats. Three animals were returned to theirowners, and a pot-bellied pig was sent to an appro-priate rescue organization. Right now we have 51animals, including a bunny and two blind horses."

During the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting,the all-volunteer, no-kill shelter attracted a sizablecrowd of supporters, well-wishers, and potentialadopters. Visitors had the opportunity to meet anadoptable white rabbit, the dogs in the kennels, andthe cats in the beautifully refurbished cat room. Thevolunteer staff and foster parents answered questionsabout the pets, and counseled people about whichanimal might be a good match.

For the ribbon cutting, Pets Come First president

Deb Warner was joined by 11 volunteers and boardmembers at the red ribbon stretched over the frontsidewalk. As Warner cut the ribbon, the group re-joiced.

Inside, the staff offered refreshments, and pack-ages of free catnip and dog treats. Visitors could pur-chase Pets Come First T-shirts, benefit raffle ticketsfor Sheetz gas cards, and specially labeled bottles ofSeven Mountains wines. Through Feb. 29, the shel-ter will receive $5 for each bottle sold, with a choiceof three wines: All Razzed Up, a sweet wine; TickledPink, a blush wine; and Ten Point, a dry red wine.

The Sheetz raffle will continue into May, withprizes of $350, $100, and $50 gas cards. Tickets are$5 each or five for $20.

Pets Come First is also raising funds by recyclingink and toner cartridges, earning $100 so far.

The guests included two of the vets who workwith the shelter, Dr. Fred Metzger and Dr. BobRider. Dr. Rider said, "I think that Pets Come Firsthas done a great job of redoing the place and work-ing with the animals. We at Metzger Animal Hospi-tal are happy to work with them to adopt all thesegreat animals. It's fun, too."

Pets Come First, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organiza-

tion, seeks community support to help them meetthe needs of stray and abandoned pets. They are ac-tively fund-raising and recruiting volunteers to en-sure the ongoing success of the shelter's services,which include adoptions of abandoned pets, and anew program of spay/neuter discount certificates forapproved low-income pet owners.

"Our biggest need is to have funds to pay a staff,"said Sharer. "Our volunteers are awesome and won-derful, but we need to have a core staff that is ableto be here regularly and is dependable."

To help pay expenses, Pets Come First increasedthe adoption fees. "Some people think we're a littlehigh, but you get about $400 of vet care," saidSharer. "When animals leave here they have mi-crochips, current vaccines including rabies,spay/neuter or an appointment, and a felineleukemia check."

She said they were actively seeking volunteers."We have a waiting list of animals but don't haveenough help to take care of them."

Pets Come First is located on Route 322 in CentreHall. For more information, visit www.petscome-first.com, their Facebook page, or call 814-364-1725.

Show Us That Smile!By Toni Duchi

February is Pet Dental Health Month. My dad always used to make fun ofme when I talked about "newfangled" pet care, including brushing my dogs'teeth, because in the "olden" days, dogs never had teeth issues. Well Dad, theydo today.

Modern dog food is not like it used to be – it's over-processed and gets softand mushy when left in the bowl. The oils in it can go rancid and there can bemold and other nasty things in it. Some of it actually gets sticky and stays onyour dog's teeth until you, or your vet, takes it off. Believe me, dog food doesnot promote good dental health. So, how can you avoid a $1,000 vet bill forteeth extraction? Take care of your kids' teeth from day one. Here's a quickchecklist to help you do this.

◆ Partner with your vet and get accurate information about how to take careof your dog's teeth. Develop an at-home treatment regimen, including teethcleaning and crunchy, chewable items that work. I absolutely promote raw beefbones as a way to keep teeth clean. The bones will not hurt your dog as long asyou don't cook them and long bones with marrow and beef rib bones are thebest. Some people use raw chicken wings--they're good too, but they usually endup on my bed with my dog happily chewing and slurping through them. Beefbones are cheap and they don't typically have a lot of gunk left on them (that'sa scientific term for tendons, meat and cartilage).

◆ Explore the new dental products that include dental rinses and rubs.There are some now that you can add to your dog's food that retards food fromsticking. They are worth the money. Dr. Miller in Stormstown promotes PerioSupport and it seems to really work well. There are dental chews and other prod-ucts that say they will stop tartar – even some toys like rope toys and the likethat will help some too. I say, do it all and avoid a big vet bill later.

◆ Take a look regularly examine your dog's teeth and gums, noting anychanges in color, redness, or sensitivity. If your dog doesn't want to eat or stopschewing, that could be a sign that it hurts to do so. If your dog's gums are brightred, especially where the teeth meet the gums, that could mean serious gingivitisor infections. See your vet for an evaluation of the condition.

◆ Check for odor – lots of people think their dogs just have bad breath andthat "green" biscuits will take care of it. WRONG....if there's an odor comingout of your dog's mouth, a dental check may be in order or at the very least, avet visit to check for infections or rotten teeth.

Dental issues are very painful for your dog and can make him very cranky.It's important to practice preventive care and to have your dog's teeth cleanedonce a year. An issue with teeth can cause problems throughout the body. Teethissues can even affect the heart...don't let that happen to your kids. Take care oftheir teeth and their teeth will take care of them.

Article & photos by Sam StitzerAARONSBURG – On Saturday evening, Feb. 11, a spaghetti dinner fundraiserwas held at the Aaronsburg Civic Center to benefit the East Penns Valley Library.The menu included spaghetti and meatballs, as well as salad, numerous appetiz-ers, and desserts. The desserts and salad ingredients were donated by local resi-dents, and the spaghetti was prepared by a staff of volunteers from thecommunity. The dinner followed a Valentine’s Day theme, with red placemats,paper hearts, and candles on the tables.

Diners were entertained by some very young strolling violinists. Eight-year-old Gus Tritsch; his six-year-old brother, Huck; nine-year-old Katie Loomis-Adams; and her brother, seven-year-old Levi played songs ranging from a BachMinuet to some good old Bluegrass fiddlin’!

The patrons loved the music, and applauded for each number. Those kids arereally talented, and they enjoyed playing for the dinner.

This dinner is a major annual fundraiser for the East Penns Valley Library,and was put on by a dedicated group of volunteers headed by Marsha Bierly. Itwas a great time for all who attended, and no one left hungry!

Strolling violinists (L to R), Levi Loomis-Adams, Katie Loomis-Adams, Huck Tritsch, and Gus Tritsch entertained the dinner patrons.

Joel and Kathryn Myers from Spring Mills enjoyed a great meal.

The crowd filed in for plenty of good food.

This event is a fundraiser for the Penns ValleyHOPE Fund, which assists families in the Penns Val-ley area facing severe financial crises. About 35 ven-dors took part in this event, filling the schoolgymnasium.

Live music was provided by Dave Walton, for-merly with The Silver Hawks of Lancaster, alongwith current SilverHawks musicians, Mike Bookand Bob Miller, who performed several originalsongs from their new CD titled Oblivious Bob. Daveis the husband of Nittany Shop With Heart'sfounder Cathy Walton. Food was provided for saleby The Sustainable Kitchen, which served many de-licious choices. Throughout the event, a large crowdof shoppers was seen browsing and buying items ofall kinds from the vendors present.

I spoke to Cheryl Crook, whose business is calledFamily Jewels. Cheryl came up from the Harrisburgarea with her line of handmade pendants. She at-tends about 25 craft shows per year all around thestate. Cheryl’s pendants are made from attractivemulti-colored ribbons and jewels. Many came withmatching earrings. They were all high quality items.

Hannah Black, from Spring Mills showed a lineof stuffed animals and hearts which she made. Han-nah said she “has made things all her life.” Her com-pany is called the Ryaven Design Company, and

includes toy design, painting, sculpting, illustration,and other artistic media.

Liz Spielvogel of Spirit of the Season, in Lemontdisplayed many potted plants, whose colors providedan oasis of summer on a cold, wintry day.

Besides vendors, two authors were present to signbooks at the craft fair. Hannah Grace from Waynes-boro wrote books titled Heavenly Hugs, and Held inHeaven’s Arms, both nicely illustrated books aimedat children with serious or terminal illnesses. Han-nah said she portrays heaven as a “wonderland” tohelp children to prepare for what, sadly, sometimesbecomes their fate. She donates a portion of the pro-ceeds from her book sales to pay for counseling forseriously ill children and their families.

Nancy Shoap, from Walnut Bottom had copies ofher book, His Everyday Promises. In 1999, Nancy wasdiagnosed with a rare eye disease called uveitis, andwas told she would go blind. While gardening, shereceived visits from a stray black cat, and began car-ing for it. Then the cat disappeared, leaving Nancywith a new and positive attitude about her life. Shewrote a story about her experiences, which was pub-lished in Guideposts magazine in 2006. She collectedsimilar stories of what she considered to be divineintervention, and assembled them into her book.Her vision today is still good. Meeting these authorswas inspirational. It was good to see people writingabout what are often sad and depressing situationsin such positive ways.

Down the hall, the Paws and Tails Thrift Store wasopen for business. Colleen Begley and her niece,

Nikki Rae Wagenseller, were making sales to benefitlocal animal-oriented non-profit groups. The storehas donated a total of $2,000 to PAWS, Pets ComeFirst, and other animal rescue groups in the pastyear.

Valentine’s Day Craft Show organizer, Cathy Wal-ton said she was pleased with the vendor participa-tion as well as the large crowd of shoppers that day.She was glad to be able to host this event to benefitthe Penns Valley HOPE Fund. Congratulations andthanks to everyone who worked to make this an en-joyable event.

Article and photos by Amy Debach ConferBELLEFONTE – The Weis market on BishopStreet in Bellefonte has outgrown the old buildingdue to new product, customer demand, and ex-panded offers.

On Feb. 26 at 6:45 a.m., there will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony in honor of the grand opening ofthe brand new 62,000-square-foot Weis Superstore,near Bellefonte. The new store is approximately 40percent larger than the current store and is the thirdstore in the chain of 161 stores located in Pennsyl-vania, New York, Maryland, New Jersey, and WestVirginia with the new design. The current Weis storewill be open for its last day of business on February25 until 6 p.m. As part of the grand opening, Weiswill donate $23,000 to 13 local charities; some ofthe charities include Centre Volunteers for Medi-cine, Faith Centre Food Bank, and local volunteerfire companies.

Based in Sunbury, Weis markets were originallyfounded in 1912, marking this year as the supermar-kets’ 100th year of service. The construction of thenew building began in 2010 and will be located onlyminutes from the current store on route 550/ ZionRoad. The new location is great for the store as it isjust off Interstate 99’s exit 83, at a convenient inter-section, and close enough to Bellefonte and the “old”location that consumers won’t need to travel fartherthan they were used to.

The construction and location didn’t come with-out cost though. The entire project cost is beyond$20 million. As well as the general construction ofthe building and its components, the company wasresponsible for road widening, installing traffic lightsand turning lanes off Interstate 99, installing an im-proved storm water management system, and gen-eral improvements and repairs of the roadway.

When I first entered the new store, I was pleas-antly surprised and in awe of the new building. Ithad a beautiful floor plan, wide and organized aisles,and many bustling employees excited themselves forthe new store to open. The general feel of the store

made for a happy morale of the employees, deliverypersons, and management.

People are so excited for the opening of the storethat the two job fairs that were offered brought inover 200 people interested in positions. The originalstore employed approximately 120 people while thenew store will be hiring about 110 more employees.Approximately 40 of these jobs will be full time and70 will be part-time positions. Some of the full-timepositions will include three professional meat cuttersfor custom cut meat selections (something the cur-rent store doesn’t offer), two full-time cake decora-tors, and a floral manager to name a few. For thoseinterested, management said they are still taking ap-plications for certain positions.

With the additional space, everything is larger andessentially, Weis will be a one-stop-shop. For in-stance, the pet and baby department has expandeddramatically, there will be a fresh fruit cutting serviceon site, a pharmacy, fresh floral arrangement station,a gas station, full-service seafood including friedseafood and items such as brick oven pizza, chicken,subs, and sushi (which only two other stores in thecompany offer). There will also be a soup cart andcoffee/slushy station.

Another interesting addition to the store is a 35-seat cafe outdoor seating area where patrons can pur-chase and consume a maximum of two beers on thepremise as well as any of the ready-to-eat food op-tions. By entering a separate entrance to the storeand paying at a specific register, patrons will be ableto pick from a variety of six-pack beer options, in-cluding local Otto’s micro brews, who may also beoffering a sampling during one of the opening days.

“This is just another convenient option for ourcustomers,” says Dennis Curtin, director of publicrelations for Weis.

There has been a lot of positive feedback aboutthe upcoming store from local businesses. Through-out the store there will be local options for con-sumers including Bonfatto’s wing sauce, local dairyproducts, and Hog’s Galore products, a family

owned pork producer. The new Weis store is definitely a “locally focused

retailer,” says Dennis Curtin. “We were local beforelocal was cool!” he added.

One of the largest expansions in the store can beseen in the perishable sections especially produceand organic products. Each year there are approxi-mately 24 million pounds of local produce pur-chased for the store and about 20 million of that willactually come from Pennsylvania, as opposed toneighboring states. The expansion and new set-upallows Weis to offer more produce.

Environmentally speaking, the new Weis storewill incorporate advanced refrigeration technologiesto reduce refrigerant emissions by 60 percent, de-creasing its impact on the ozone layer and climatechange. For instance, if no one is in the dairy aisle,the lights in the cases will be off until someone passesby, when they will then turn on. Looking up, thereare several skylights installed. On sunny days, a lim-ited amount of lights will need to be used but, if it’sa cloudy or dark day, the lights will automaticallyturn on. This is sustainability!

I was honored to get a sneak peak at the new WeisMarket in Bellefonte but, now it’s even harder tocontain my excitement for the grand opening. Thenew store is a wonderful, classy, and needed additionto the community and one will not be disappointedwith its offerings and services.

Fellowship Trained Corneal and Refractive Surgeon

By Sandie Biddlewith help from Bellefonte historians

Since Presidents Day is upon us, we decided tohonor some of the fine political leaders who camefrom Centre County. Here’s a quick history lessonthat many will find interesting. These seven menwere involved in local public service – from schoolboards to borough councils, Penn State trustees toUnion soldiers in the Civil War – then went on toserve their states as governors, and their countryunder Presidents Lincoln, Buchanan, Polk and oth-ers.

Bellefonte, our Centre County seat, has a longand prestigious history. Named in honor of thetown’s central spring ("la belle fonte") by the Frenchstatesman Talleyrand, Bellefonte has been home toseven governors from three states. You’ll recognize

some of these names on highways, streets, and build-ings in Centre County.

Two were brothers, two were appointed as ambas-sadors by President James Buchanan, one married agreat granddaughter of Benjamin Franklin, fourwere Democrats, two were Republicans, and one wasa Whig, a Republican, and later a Democrat.

Four were editors of local newspapers – the Belle-fonte Patriot, Bellefonte Republican, and Centre De-mocrat – precursors to the Bellefonte Gazette, nowthe Centre County Gazette.

James Addams Beaver 1837-1914 Governor of Pennsylvania: 1887-1891

Beaver was born in Millerstown, Pennsylvania,and attended school at Pine Grove Academy in Cen-

tre County. He graduated in 1856 from JeffersonCollege in Cannonsburg, Pennsylvania (now Wash-ington and Jefferson College). He went on to studylaw with Hugh McAllister in Bellefonte. He lived inBellefonte from before the Civil War until his deathin 1914.

As governor, Beaver was a pioneer advocate ofusing state revenues to promote industrial education,good highways, and forest conservation. Beaver wasa Republican. He served in the Union Army and waspromoted to Brigadier General. He was woundedfour times. Following the Civil War, Beaver prac-ticed law, was a member of the Bellefonte BoroughCouncil, and served as president of Penn State’sBoard of Trustees for 24 years (1874-82, 1898-1914).

John Bigler 1805-1871 Governor of California: 1852-1856

A native of Cumberland County, Bigler attendedDickinson College at Carlisle, but had to leave whenthe family moved to Mercer County. First an ap-prenticed printer, Bigler eventually bought the Cen-tre Democrat newspaper in Bellefonte. He wasnamed by General Philip Benner as editor of thepaper in 1830.

At the age of 14, his younger brother, William (seebelow), worked for him. John Bigler later sold the Cen-tre Democrat and studied law. He lived in Bellefontefrom 1828 to 1834, when he sold the newspaper.

He was a member of the Bellefonte BoroughCouncil and chaired on the committee to rebuildthe waterworks in 1831.

In 1849, at the time of the California gold rush,Bigler moved with his family to Sacramento, Cali-fornia, where he was elected governor as a Democrat.After two terms, President Buchanan* appointedhim Minister to Chile. In 1854, the California leg-islature honored Bigler by naming a lake after him,since renamed Lake Tahoe.

William Bigler 1814-1880 Governor of Pennsylvania: 1852-1855

The younger brother of John Bigler, WilliamBigler worked at Bellefonte’s Centre Democrat untilhe was 19 years old, and lived here until 1833. Heheaded the Andrew Jackson Fourth of July Celebra-tion in Bellefonte July 4, 1832.

He later published the Clearfield Democrat, sellingit in 1836 to enter into the lumber business wherehe accumulated considerable wealth.

In 1842, he was elected to the state Senate andserved two three-year terms, was U.S. Senator fromPA, and in 1851 he was elected governor as a De-mocrat. While in office, Bigler oversaw reforms instate finances and curtailed much of the corruptionthat plagued the state’s system of public works. Hesecured the Democratic presidential nomination forGeneral George McClellan in 1864, who lost to Re-publican Abraham Lincoln.

Andrew Gregg Curtin 1817-1894 Governor of Pennsylvania: 1861-1867

Born in Bellefonte, and remained a lifetime resi-dent, Curtin started in politics as a Whig and servedas Governor Pollock’s Commonwealth Secretary andSuperintendent of Public Schools. He also served onthe Bellefonte school board and as a member of theCentre County Bar Association.

An early supporter of President Abraham Lincoln,

Curtin was among the most prominent leaders ofthe new Republican Party and rallied the Northern"war governors" in support of Lincoln’s policies.

Curtin served as Minister to Russia from 1869 to1872 and as a delegate to the State ConstitutionalConvention of 1872-1873. He eventually switchedto the Democratic party and served in Congressfrom 1881 to 1887.

Daniel Hastings 1849-1903 Governor of Pennsylvania: 1895-1899

Hastings was born in Clinton County. He startedhis career in teaching when he was 14 years old,working at his father’s farm over the summer. In1867, he became principal of the Bellefonte HighSchool. He lived here from 1867 until his death in1903. He was principal of the Bellefonte HighSchool, superintendent of Bellefonte Schools, editorof the Bellefonte Republican, and a member of theCentre County Bar, Bellefonte School Board, andthe Penn State Board of Trustees.

By 1887, he had worked his way up to adjutantgeneral of Pennsylvania. Hastings won the governor-ship largely on the popularity he gained as head ofthe state commission that brought relief to John-stown after the great flood of 1889. However, he wasunable to implement his platform of social and po-litical reforms because of strong machine politicsthat dominated the state at that time.

William F. Packer 1807-1870 Governor of Pennsylvania: 1858-1861

Packer grew up in Howard, Centre County, andat the age of 13, went to work for an uncle’s news-paper in Sunbury. After the paper failed, Packer gota job at the Bellefonte Patriot, and by 1825 he wasworking at another newspaper in Harrisburg.

In 1827, Packer moved to Williamsport to study

law, but instead bought the Lycoming Gazette, even-tually transferring the paper to Harrisburg andchanging its name to The Keystone. There he becamewidely known and was elected to the state House ofRepresentatives. After one term as a Democratic gov-ernor, he retired to Williamsport. Packer governedin difficult times, trying in vain to keep the stateDemocratic party from being torn apart by statesrights, the extension of slavery into the West, andother divisive issues on the eve of the Civil War.

Robert J. Walker 1801-1869 Governor of the Territory of Kansas: 1857-1861

Walker was the son of Jonathan Hoge Walker,who was one of the first men approved to practicelaw in Centre County after it had been created in1800.

In 1825, he married Mary Bache, a great granddaughter of Benjamin Franklin. They sought wideropportunities in Mississippi, where Robert practicedlaw with his brother, Duncan.

Walker, a Democrat, was elected from Mississippito the U.S. Senate in 1836. In 1845, President Polkappointed him Secretary of the Treasury, and in1857 President Buchanan* appointed him governorof the Territory of Kansas, a position he held untilKansas became a state in 1861. He spent the lastyears of his life practicing law in Washington, D.C.

The Eagles saved their best for last in their 40-36 win over the District 4 team dual champions asthey got five straight falls and a forfeit to close outtheir come from behind victory.

Trailing 36-10 with six weights remaining, the Ea-gles knew they would be getting six points with aforfeit coming at 220lbs. What they would do be-fore that would determine whether those pointswould even matter.

Jake Taylor got things started for the Eagles at170lbs as he recorded a first period fall. At 182, Jim-mer Grieb followed him with a fall that took onesecond longer than Taylor’s with it coming in 1:05.Aaron Varner took a little longer to get his fall buthe would and it came at the 2:53 mark at 195lbs tocut the score to 36-28.

Coach Steve Millward used the forfeit at 220lbsto move Nate Sharkey up to 285lbs from his normalspot at 220. With the forfeit cutting the score to36-34 with Sharkey’s bout with the Bulldogs’ NateLorson remaining, the balance of the dual meethung on the outcome of the final bout.

Sharkey capped off the win for the Eagles in thesecond period when he recorded a fall over Lorsonat the 3:09 mark.

Earlier in the meet, Travis Giedroc received a for-feit at 106lbs. At 138lbs, Matt Dillon gave the Ea-gles their last win until Taylor’s fall at 170 when hemajored Kaiden Brungard, 10-1.

Penns Valley Defense Keyin Win Over BellefonteBy Les BarnhartSPRING MILLS - The Rams continued theirstrong play at home Tuesday evening as they de-feated their neighbor, Bellefonte, by a score of 46-30.

Penns Valley silenced the big guns for Bellefonte(7-14) with Jason Jarvis scoring 7 points while JohnKowalchuk hit on one three-pointer to comprise histotal for the game. Dylan Moerschbacher was alsolimited to a single three-pointer in the loss for theRed Raiders.

Steelers Hire Haley to Guide OffenseBy Matt Masullo

For the first time in Mike Tomlin’s career as theSteelers head coach, he had to replace a coordinatoron his coaching staff. With the tumultuous severingof ties with former offensive coordinator Bruce Ari-ans (who “retired” then was hired by the Indianapo-lis Colts as their offensive coordinator), the Steelerswill feature a new play caller for the first time since

2007. That manis Todd Haley, theson of formerSteelers directorof personnel DickHaley (1971-1990). As ayoung boy, Haleywas one of theteam’s ball boy. In2012, he will bethe guy callingplays for a Steeleroffense thatranked in the bot-tom third of theleague in scoring.

Haley has had his share of ups and downs duringhis career as an NFL coach. He was last employedas the Head Coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, guid-ing them to the playoffs during the 2010 season andlosing the his teams new rival, the Baltimore Ravens.As an assistant coach, Haley has worked with the

New York Jets,Chicago Bears,Dallas Cowboysand the ArizonaCardinals, wherehe was the offen-sive coordinatorduring the Cardi-nals 27-23 loss to theSteelers in Super Bowl XLIII. That season, the Car-dinals tied for third in the league in scoring, averag-ing 27 points per game and were fourth in totaloffense (366 yards per game).

Haley has stated that he is not a “system guy”,meaning that he is not going to come in and shakethings up too much and install his own offensive sys-tem. If success on offense means running the foot-ball, he will run the ball. If it means having BenRoethlisberger throw the ball all over the park, Haleyhas proved that he is not afraid to throw the ball (seeWarner, Kurt –2008). In 2010, the year the Chiefswon the AFC West, they were a run heavy offensebehind the emergence of Jamaal Charles.

Roethlisberger and Arians had a very close rela-tionship, and golf often in the offseason. They areeven neighbors in a gated community in Georgia.How Haley, who has been noted as having a fierypersonality, and Roethlisberger get along is yet to beseen. If he can do with Big Ben what he did withKurt Warner, the Steelers should like their odds onoffense in 2012.

Last year, the Pirates completed their 19thconsecutive losing season, albeit after a promisingstart to the season under first year manager ClintHurdle. On July 15th, the Pirates found themselvesin first place in the NL Central division after sendingthree players to the All-Star game earlier in themonth. On July 26th in a game against the AtlantaBraves, a controversial call at home plate deemed tobe too much to overcome for a young Pirate squad,as the downward spiral followed with a season highten-game losing streak from July 26-August 8, andultimately, another losing season.

Last season is last season though, and the Piratesenter Spring Training this year with more hope thanin years past. With a roster sprinkled with young tal-ent, the Pirates will look to end nearly two decadesof losing baseball this season in a division that lostits biggest stars (Albert Pujols signed with the LosAngeles Angels this past offseason and Prince Fieldersigned with the Detroit Tigers). Andrew McCutchenheadlines the Pirates roster, along with fellow out-fielders Jose Tabita and Alex Presley. Also back in theoutfield mix will be Nate McLouth, who was tradedfrom the Pirates to the Braves during the 2009 sea-

son. Mclouth was signed as a free agent this offsea-son. With four talented outfielders to go along withGarret Jones (who also plays first base) and young-ster Gorkys Hernandez, the Buccos have a talentedgroup of players to pull from when it comes to cov-ering the field at PNC Park.

In the infield, Neil Walker leads the charge at sec-ond base. He will be joined by a mixture of shortstopChase d’Arnaud, utility man Josh Harrison and for-mer second overall pick Pedro Alvarez, who has beenup and down to say the least in his two seasons inPittsburgh. Behind the dish, the Pirates face theirbiggest question mark; who will call the shots for thepitching staff? Michael McKenry is a solid defensivecatcher, but lacks much pop from his bat. TonySanchez, the Pirates top pick in the 2009 draft is anup and comer, but suffered a broken jaw in an off-season incident. Last season in AA Altoona, Sanchezhit .241 with five home runs and 44 RBI’s in 402at-bats. If he can turn the corner during SpringTraining and make the roster, the Pirates could finda long-term solution behind the plate.

The pitching staff was a pleasant surprise last sea-son. Kevin Correia was the lead dog on the staff be-fore an injury shortened his season. The Pirates alsogot several good outings from Charlie Morton, JeffKarstens and James McDonald. Brad Lincoln alsohas an opportunity to contribute to the staff afterbeing seleceted fourth overall in the 2006 draft. Thebrightest star on the staff however, lies in the bullpen

in Joel “the hammer” Hanrahan. Selected to his firstAll-Star game last season, he notched 40 saves andfinished with an ERA of 1.83. He is signed throughthis season and next, but locking up the back end ofthe bullpen for more than two seasons will be a keyfor the Pirates this season. In the minor leagues, thePirates have 2011 first overall selection Gerrit Colewho is slated to start his career in High Class A ball,along with 2010 2nd overall pick Jameson Taillonand 2010 2nd round pick Stetson Allie. Dating backto the 2000 MLB draft, the Pirates have spent nineof their 11 picks on pitchers in the first round of theamateur draft.

The Pirates open their season at home with theirin-state rival Philadelphia Phillies on April 5th at1:35 PM.

Ladies, let’s be honest with each other. We have read the books and themain reason that we went to see the movie One for the Money was to seeRanger and Morelli. Ever since Janet Evanivich first introduced us toStephanie Plum with her bizarre family and friends, the question has been,“Ranger or Morelli?”

It took me several scenes to accept Jason O’Mara as Joseph Morelli.Come on, an Italian stud with blue eyes? That was not how I picturedhim. Soon I was convinced. This is a fairly new actor but I am sure thatwe will see more of him.

Ranger had to have been difficult to cast. Every woman I talked to hadher own fantasy of the mysterious Ranger. Daniel Sunjata was a good choice. He certainly met the physicalqualifications and the possibilities were there. Time did not allow for much development of the character.

I know that it is hard for a book to be condensed into a movie and many things have to be dropped, butI missed the humor that Grandma Mazur brought to the books. Debbie Reynolds could have taken this roleand run with it. Three short scenes were not enough. We never got to see her at a funeral, but seeing theturkey get shot almost made up for that oversight.

Sherri Shepherd was a good choice as Lulu. I was afraid that they would go “Hollywood” on us and castHalle Berry.

Katherine Heigl was better casting as Stephanie Plum than I expected. Seeing her learn to shoot andwatching the spunk it took to deal with the men in her life made it believable that she could save the day atthe end.

I enjoyed the movie One for the Money. I understand that it is impossible to live up to what a person seeswhen reading a book. I should not compare, but is hard not to – especially when the books are special. I amalways interested in hearing from those who see the movie and have not read the book.

Now to get back to the original question: Ranger or Morelli? I took a very informal poll as I was leavingthe lobby after the show. The majority had the same problem as Stephanie – They would find it hard to say“no” to either.

Article & photo by Sam StitzerThe Fellowship Bible Church, located on Lower

Georges Valley Road, sponsored a gospel music con-cert by the gospel singing group Victory Express onthe evening of Saturday, Feb. 11. A pot-luck dinnerpreceded the concert. About 50 church membersand friends enjoyed a delicious meal of home cookedfood and desserts. Following the meal, the Covalts,a Penns Valley gospel group performed, and then in-troduced Victory Express, who presented their con-cert.

Victory Express is a family gospel singing group,originally from Nashville, Tennessee, is now locatedin Mount Joy. The group consists of Ron Cornell,his wife of 49 years, Bonnie, and their teenagegranddaughters, Kayla and Maria. They have beenentertaining and ministering throughout the UnitedStates and abroad in churches, concert halls, countyfairs, and other venues. Victory Express features thecloseness of the family harmonies in all of theirsinging performances. Their singing style is southerngospel, and their repertoire features old time fa-vorites, as well as some more modern songs.

Ron Cornell joked about traveling with three fe-males. He said their camper has two electric gener-ators: one to run the air conditioner, and anotherone just to run the blow dryers and curling irons!This brought a big laugh from the audience. VictoryExpress’s music ran the gamut from slow, sacredsongs to rousing, hand-clapping numbers to the de-light of the audience.

The Fellowship Bible Church (aka Locust GroveChurch) building has a long history. It was built 130years ago, in 1882, and was used by the EvangelicalUnited Brethren (EUB) church. The church wasclosed in 1960, and sat unused for several years. TheEUB church merged with the Methodist church na-tionwide in 1968. Neighboring property owner, BobSteiger, purchased the church property from theUnited Methodist Conference in the 1970s to savethe old church from destruction. He maintained thechurch building until 1979, when a new, independ-

ent congregation was formed, which continues tothis day, pastored by Mike Covalt, a member of theCovalts gospel group.

The original building was a log structure, but wascovered with white siding many years ago. BobSteiger and other members built a small addition tothe building, which included a small dining area, anursery, and a Sunday school room. Bob added atouch of humor by labeling the rest rooms Adamand Eve, instead of the conventional men andwomen. A corner where a portion of the old log wallwas removed retains the exposed log ends as a re-minder of the original construction, and of the longhistory of the church. The Steiger family also has along history with the church. Bob’s mother, born in1903, was the church organist, beginning when shewas just 12 years old. She played organ and pianountil the church closed in1960, and returned to playfor the new congregation in the 1980s.

Feb. 11 was a cold, blustery winter night. Thewind was blowing snow which was stinging my faceas I walked from my truck to the door. But inside,the church was filled with warmth – not just thewarmth of heaters, but the warmth of a congregationof people gathered for a night of fellowship and greatgospel music. It was the perfect way to spend a win-ter evening.

Article & photos by Karen DabneySTATE COLLEGE – Schlow Centre Region Li-brary is hosting a free chamber music concert seriesthis winter and spring to promote the June 2012Music at Penn's Woods concerts at Penn State.

The first Schlow concert on Thursday, Feb. 2 fea-tured the Lyon Family Ensemble and flutist CathyHerrera playing three works by Wolfgang AmadeusMozart and Franz Joseph Hayden.

Dr. Herrera, who teaches flute at Juniata College,said the musicians offered the short chamber musicconcerts to "whet your taste buds" and encouragepeople to attend the Music at Penns' Woods con-certs, which will be held at Esber Recital Hall inPenn State's Music Building I, University Park.

The Lyon Family Ensemble performed the firstpiece, Mozart's Prelude and Fugue in F Major, K.404a. The violinist, James Lyon, is professor ofmusic in violin at Penn State and concertmaster forthe Pennsylvania Centre Orchestra. Carol Lyon, hiswife, is the principal cello for Pennsylvania CentreOrchestra. Their son Nicolas Lyon, a State CollegeArea High School senior, played the viola.

The Prelude and Fugue was an unusual collabo-rative piece, according to Professor Lyon. He toldthe audience that Mozart had not heard the musicof J. S. Bach until his middle or late twenties whenhe attended Baron von Swieten's Sunday gatheringsof antique music in Vienna, Austria. Mozart was soinspired by Bach's compositions that he wrote hisown arrangement of one of Bach's fugues from theWell-Tempered Clavier then added it to a preludeMozart wrote, creating the Prelude and Fugue in F

Major.Mozart's arrangement helped to unite the two sty-

listically different halves, but each retained a distinctpersonality. Perhaps Mozart relished the contrast.

Herrera introduced the Hayden Trio #4 in FMajor, Opus 11, for flute, violin, and cello, whichshe played with James and Carol Lyon. She said thatHayden was considered the father of the symphonyand the string quartet because he standardized theirforms.

The music was bright, sweet, and upbeat. In thethird movement, the quick notes of the flute re-minded the listener of birdsong, a welcome taste ofspring.

All four musicians played the last piece, Mozart'sFlute Quartet in D Major, K. 285. Professor Lyonsaid the piece was commissioned as a Christmas gift,and was finished on Christmas Day, 1777.

The acoustics of the community room were sur-prisingly well suited for chamber music. "It sounds

good. It's clear but there's a little warmth to it," saidLyon.

The next concert in the chamber music series onThursday, April 26 at 7 p.m. will feature the EasterlyChamber Players: Diane Toulson on flute, SmithToulson on clarinet, and Anne Sullivan on harp.

For the final performance in the series, the Alle-gria Ensemble will offer a concert especially for chil-dren, but everyone is welcome to attend. Dr. CathyHerrera, on flute, will be joined by cellist ClaudiaKoide and violinist Debbie Trudeau for the Saturday,May 19 concert at 11 a.m.

The concerts will be in Schlow Centre Region Li-brary's Downsbrough Community Room,

211 S. Allen St., State College. The performancesare free and open to the public. For more informa-tion, call (814) 237-6236 or visit http://www.schlowlibrary.org.
