Burden Bellefonte TaxpayersI have been a small-business owner located in Bellefonte for the past 19

years, and have been a resident for the past 36 years. I have appreciated theopportunity to have started and run my business in the borough of Belle-fonte. I rent property in the Historic Preservation area of Bellefonte, centrallylocated with ready access to the surrounding communities of Centre County.

The Bellefonte Borough Council and the Bellefonte Area Industrial De-velopment Association have been working on plans to re-develop the wa-terfront along Spring Creek since the tragic demise of the Bush Househotel in 2006.

This June, it was announced that Governor Corbett approved a grantfor $3 million specifically to build a riverwall and riverwalk along SpringCreek, utilizing 15 to 18 feet of property which contains the site of mybusiness and the former Bush House and Cerro buildings.

One of the provisions of the $3 million grant is that the borough ofBellefonte must providing matching funds. The borough has taken out a$3.5 million loan in order to fulfill that provision. While the owners ofthe site of my business are willing to provide the borough with the landnecessary to build the riverwall and riverwalk, they want to maintain therest of the property so that I can continue to operate my business.

The borough is currently involved in legal action to take the entire pieceof property through eminent domain. Previously, the borough was planningto take the property to sell to a developer for commercial business. Now, inorder for the borough to have a chance to win the eminent domain fight,they are, instead, proposing to create more parkland on that property.

Through the borough’s actions, I will have to move my business andpossibly close it, the tax-paying property owners will lose their property,and the borough and all its taxpayers are in debt for a $3.5 million loan.

Please let borough council members know that you oppose the boroughputting the community in debt for $3.5 million in these difficult eco-nomic times.

Sincerely,Jim Bowersox,Owner, Victorian Signs

Centre County SchoolsLittle Hands Make a Big Difference By Laurel SandersSTATE COLLEGE – The little hands of a preschool or kindergarten child maynot have the same strength as larger and more experienced hands. Yet a lot oflittle hands together – joined by children’s inspiration, the wide-eyed discoverythat a string of efforts adds up, and the dedication to follow through – can makea big difference. Students at Grace Lutheran Preschool & Kindergarten (GLPK)had ample opportunity to demonstrate this as they worked to improve the livesof those around them this season, collecting and distributing food, toys, andother necessities at home and abroad.

As a Christian school, Bible verses and their teachings are threaded throughoutthe school’s curriculum, helping children to value their own uniqueness, careabout others, and take positive actions to share life’s many blessings with otherswhenever they can.

In November the school bases some of its teachings on Psalm 103:5, wherestudents learn, “God fills my life with good things.” They learn to respond toGod’s blessings by giving thanks (and showing their thanks through positive ac-tions that benefit others). Although the school regularly engages in com-munity-service projects, between Advent and Christmas the focus on helping

others in need is espe-cially strong. Studentsand their families havebeen generous supportersof others in need this sea-son, 212 pounds of foodwas collected for the StateCollege Area Food Bankin late November, 20boxes were filled by theschool’s students for Op-eration Christmas Child,and two large barrels oftoys were amassed forthe local Toys for Totscampaign.

Little hands canchange the world for

those in need. We thank our 134 preschool and kindergarten students and theirfamilies for helping to lighten life’s burdens for others who are less fortunate sothat they, too, can experience more of life’s goodness.

Teachers, students, and volunteers are shown placing their hands onone of the wrapped shoeboxes destined for Operation Christmas Child asthey prayed for the recipients of the boxes as part of the annual shoebox

collection. Students filled 20 shoeboxes to contribute to the CentreCounty regional collection.

BELLEFONTE – The last week ofschool in 2011 was a busy one forspreading cheer and the true meaningof Christmas for students at St. JohnCatholic School. On Tuesday, Decem-ber 20, students presented a beautifulversion of the Nativity Story in thechurch for all of their loved ones.

An honor reserved for our fifth-grade students is to portray the main

roles in the Nativity story. They en-tered the scene at the appropriatetimes throughout the evening. Ourfourth-grade students began the nightby singing O Little Town of Bethlehemand Away in a Manager dressed as thetownspeople of Bethlehem. They werefollowed by Pre-K and Kindergartenchildren filling the stable dressed asdoves, donkeys, sheep, and cowssinging The Friendly Beasts.

Next, legions of angels and shep-

herds (third- and fourth-grade stu-dents) filled the room with the soundsof Hark the Herald Angels Sing and TheFirst Noel. The Three Kings entered es-corted by the King’s Attendants (firstgrade) singing We Three Kings. Theperformance ended with the fifth-grade students singing Silent Night, allof the students singing Joy to the World,and the audience joining in to sing thefinal song, O Come All Ye Faithful.

Following the performance, every-one was invited to the auditorium for

a birthday party for Baby Jesus. Two days later, the students took to

the streets of Bellefonte to share thegift of song. They caroled throughoutthe town to show their appreciation tolocal businesses that do so much forthem throughout the year. MerryChristmas and wishes for many bless-ings in 2012 from everyone at St. JohnCatholic School!

Penns Valley Jr.-Sr. High School Honor RollFirst Nine-week Grading Period

Twins Receive Highest Scout AwardsContributed by Dave WassonSTATE COLLEGE – Alek Donato Masters andSarah Renee Masters, twin brother and sister, re-ceived their Eagle Scout and Gold Award in a jointCourt of Honor on December 3.

Alek Donato Masters of Troop 380 of Boalsburgcapped his Eagle Scout award with his service projectof cleaning up and re-landscaping the BoalsburgLimestone Kiln located in Country Place Park, Har-ris Township. The effort included removing weedsand ivy from the kiln, removing a fallen tree, repair-

ing a section of fence damaged by the fallen tree,cleaning and resealing the sign, and planting thornbushes to keep visitors from falling into the kiln.

Alek organized more than 100 hours of effort by25 volunteers. Alek joined Cub Scout Pack 380 inSeptember of 2000 and completed the Eagle require-ments in March 2011 while also earning the Arrowof Light in January 2005.

The center has many trails, however, theywere marked only with painted blazers and were noteasy to follow. Sarah made signs to go on three dif-ferent trails in place of the painted blazers. She cre-ated unique designs for each trail so that hikers couldtell exactly what trail they were following.

The new cedar trail markers are routed designs,painted and treated for weather. In total, more than350 signs were created and installed. Sarah workedmore than 100 hours on this project and involvedmore than 25 volunteers.

going LOCAL! an Adventure Eaters GuideBy Ken Hull

Happy New Year GazetteReaders!

I hope you all had a wonderfulChristmas, and enjoyed bringing in2012. I for one had a great Christmasspent with family and friends. Wegathered at my sister Kathy’s houseand enjoyed a feast fit for a king! Mysister is without a doubt, one of thefinest non-pro cooks around. Unfor-tunately she only cooks for family andfriends so you’re out of luck. Howevermy dear fans, there is a place you cango that’s even better than my sister’s(no, not my mom’s) where they serveyou like family – they even have a des-ignated table called the Stammtisch(Family Table). Along with their “en-tertaining” style of customer service,they are true professionals with inter-national experience. And, no one, Imean no one, leaves hungry!

The following is a re-worked ex-cerpt from my first book goingLOCAL! An Adventurer’s Guide toUnique Eats, Cool Pubs & Cozy Cafésof Central Pennsylvania. And believeme, this place is very “Unique.”

HERWIG’S AUSTRIAN BISTROI first met Herwig Brandstatter in

1982. He and his wife Gundi had just

purchased a house and settled here inState College while passing throughon their way to Australia. They hadcome from a beautiful mountain vil-lage in the south of Austria where“Brandy,” as his friends call him,owned and operated a grandchalet/hotel with a five-star restaurantinside. European dignitaries, as well asU.S. and other world figures, fre-quented his place.

While on holiday, he and his familydecided to visit a friend here in StateCollege. When they arrived, they fellin love with the area and the opportu-nities it provided. Shortly after theirdecision to settle here, he and Gundidecided to bring the tastes of Austriahere, and in 1982 they opened Her-wig’s Edelweiss in the Lodge at TusseyMountain.

When Brandy first arrived inHappy Valley, along with his culinarytraditions he also brought another tra-dition. Back home, folks used snuff.This isn’t the crap we have here thatgoes in your mouth, this is of a muchhigher and finer grade that’s inhaled.Bandy kept his in a little antique silvercontainer that he always had in hispocket.

Every hour or so he would take itfrom his pocket, tap it a few times,turn it to expose the opening, thencarefully tap out a very tiny amounton the side of his hand. Then with ashort, very quick sniff, would inhalethe tobacco into his nostrils. I thoughtthis was really cool! Wanting to be ascool as Bandy, I went to a local to-bacco shop, bought some, and con-vinced some friends to give it a trywith me. I had to go first, of course.

I took the can and tapped it againstmy palm and twisted it to expose theopening. I pointed it at the side of my

hand and gently bumped the con-tainer – all just like Brandy. However,unlike Brandy’s tin, nothing came outof mine. I closed it and tapped again– nothing! So much for trying to becool in front of my friends.

Trying to save face, I thought I’djust sniff directly from the can. So Itapped it again, turned it open, tiltedmy head back, and put the hole to mynose and inhaled as hard as I could.Unbeknownst to me, there had beena ball of tobacco forming inside thecontainer and growing larger andlarger with each tapping. Like an as-

teroid, this immense ball of pure to-bacco broke loose and launched itselfinto my sinuses! The looks on myfriend’s faces were nothing comparedto mine. I jumped, spun, and flailedmyself around as my “so-called”friends laughing their butts off!

Needless to say, none of themwanted to try it, and as soon as I re-gained consciousness and the bloodreceded from my head, I walked overto a nearby dumpster and tossed mysnuff away and never touched it again.True story!

Herwig’s Edelweiss eventuallyclosed because I honestly thinkBrandy was way ahead of his time andfolks around here just didn’t get it.With time, all things change and nowwith their very talented son Bernd,Brandy and Gundi have revived theirpassion and desire to bring the taste oftheir home country to Central Penn-sylvania once again as Herwig’s Aus-trian Bistro.

These days their place is packedevery lunch and dinner. They nowcook for a generation that not onlygets it, but also loves and supports it.The food here is amazing! Unlike thechains where everything is shipped infrozen, everything at Herwig’s is pre-pared fresh for that day and evening(Brandy even makes every bratwurstfrom scratch, using meat from a localbutcher).

At Herwig’s you will find a nearendless amount of yummy home-

cooked Austrian delights as well assoups, salads, and some amazinghomemade desserts. Here’s a tiny sam-pling: Wienerschnitzel, TyroleanGrostl (Home Style Hash – AssortedMeats Pan-Sauteed w/Potatoes andonions), and Krabbenkrapferl (TheeMost Delicious Crab Cake Ever!). Onoccasion they even serve Pig Legs! Oh,if you haven’t figured this out, it’s nota place for someone on a diet. Theirmotto at Herwig’s is “Where Bacon isan Herb.”

From a grand chalet in the AustrianAlps, to a hillside restaurant at Tussey

Mountain, and now a street-sidebistro in State College, the Brandstat-ter family has proven their worth inthe world of great cuisine. Herwig’sAustrian Bistro offers amazing food atvery fair prices and they’re BYOB too!So pack up your favorite wine or beer,dress in your lederhosen if you like,but be sure and take a sense of humor– they love to joke and tease, but it’sall in good fun. But be sure you finishyour meal, otherwise… Well, you’llfind out.

Enjoy!

As a youngster, I loved Mr. Rogers.I was especially fond of the mailmanwith his “Speedy Delivery” greeting.I’ve had my share of residential mail-folk over the years, but living in Belle-fonte is the first time I’d ever foundmy own mail delivery star. The regularmail lady for our block is the epitomeof small town life and I couldn’t reflecton Centre County without includingher.

I first spoke to her shortly aftermoving here. I’d never had a door-sidemailbox and was at a loss as to how tobest post outgoing mail without thelittle red flag that’s standard on drive-way boxes. She was friendly and help-ful and had a smile and a wave everytime we crossed paths after that. Thefriendliness alone was stellar, but shewent beyond that.

In August, I had major back surgeryand in the early weeks at home it wasimportant that I walk a bit. Myboyfriend and I set out one day (Ijoked that he had to walk me like apuppy!) when the mail truck was a fewdoors before our house. The mail ladyspotted us, hopped out of the truck,and hustled after us. She knew me bysight, knew from the brace I had sur-gery, and had spotted a package need-ing a signature. She made sure she gotme to sign, noting she didn’t want me

to miss something important and haveto journey to the post office. After Isigned, she offered to drop the pack-age at our door so we could continueon our walk.

As I’ve healed and been home, I’vecontinued to see her often. She has al-ways asked how I’m feeling and fol-lowing the stages of my progress likeshedding my brace and starting phys-ical therapy. If she has anything re-motely heavy, she’ll always knock andoffer to bring inside. She’s evenknocked for lighter items that mightnot fit in the box since she spotted mestruggling to bend for a package onthe stoop once.

I have to admit that I don’t knowher name, though maybe that willkeep me from embarrassing her withthis column. I do plan to clip a copyto our mailbox when it runs so she’sknows her kindness is appreciated. Ibelieve that the simplest acts are some-times the most appreciated but thatthey also go unrecognized.

So, to fight the trend of overlookingthe people who make our daysbrighter – Thank you, mail lady. Youare part of the spirit that makes melove living in Central PA. I know fora fact that I’m not alone in appreciat-ing the extra cheer you always bring.


Black and brown male tabby seeks to start the New Year with a new foreverfamily. Jules is a very smart guy, learning how to use a human toilet at his formerhome and demonstrating excellent litter box habits at PAWS. But the best char-acteristic of Jules is his loving attitude. He is great with kids,letting them hold him and carry him.

The only reason Jules came to PAWS is because he lovedto follow his former siblings outside and the family feared forJules’ safety since they lived along State College’s AthertonStreet. You can read more about Jules at http://www.centre-countypaws.org/cats or visit him at PAWS (1401 Trout Rd.,State College) when they reopen to the public on January 7.

The week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve has always been atime for me to pamper me! Not that I do that much anymore to getready for the Holidays; it just seems that I don’t feel guilty taking timeto do what I want to do.In my case that means reading.

One of my favorite authors is Sharon Sala and because her books tend tobe very different, I feel that I can get away with reviewing her now and again.

The Chosen may sound like an odd choice for this festive time of year, but maybe that iswhy I enjoyed it so much.

The last thing that pimp Jay Carpenter remembered was slapping one of his girls for holdingout money on him. In the hospital the medical team removed part of a brain tumor and successfullybrought Jay back from death twice. The near death experience was so shattering to Jay that whenhe returned to the street he took his first step in what he believed was the perfect redemption. Hewould live as Jesus Christ lived.

January Delena’s job as a well-known journalist has not made her many friends on the policeforce. The police feel that her on-site reporting interferes with their ability to solve the crimes.

Doing research for a piece on near-death experiences, she hears of a man called The Sinnerwho claims to have been to Hell and back. Through Mother Mary, the nun who runs a homelessshelter, January learns that a series of street people have gone missing and several bizarre murdershave taken place. January feels that they are somehow connected.

First a street preacher known as Bother John is found beheaded. Then a man named Matt,one named Mark, and Jude, a bouncer at a strip club have disappeared. Later, the police find thatthe body of recently deceased Walter Leopold Lazarus has been dug up and arranged seated on thebench near his grave. The book races to a finish as the “connection” includes Mother Mary andJanuary Delena herself.

Sala is not your typical sweet little, comfortable murder mystery writer. This book has somehorrific scenes in it and a very tense conclusion. The author has a knack for creating such good sidecharacters that the reader gets caught up in their stories, both good and evil.

This is an author that goes on every vacation trip with me. Fortu-nately, she is prolific and I am able to have a “stash” waiting for the future. FRYE’S / MOYERS SEW & VAC

Article & photos by Sam StitzerPOTTER TOWNSHIP – The famous round barn along Route 45 in PotterTownship is getting a facelift in the form of a new roof. The cedar-shake roofwas last replaced in 1993, and was supposed to last 40 years, but has been leakingfor several years. According to Dave Shuey, who maintains the round barn prop-erty, Lee Cowan, a Bellefonte roofing contractor began replacing the roof begin-ning in July, 2011, and is still not completely finished. All the cedar shakes arein place, but repair work is still in progress on the dormer windows and trimstrips.

Shuey said that the weather has caused the project to take much longer thanexpected. The extreme heat of the summer and a rainy autumn combined todelay the completion. The roof required about 80 squares of shingles. A squareequals 100 square feet, so this translates to 8,000 square feet, or the equivalentof about five average size houses – not a small task!

Many of the purlins, the wooden strips to which the shingles are attached,

were rotted and had to be replaced as the work progressed. Some of the second-level floorboards, having rotted due to the leaking roof, were replaced in 2010.The shakes are natural cedar tan color now, but will weather in time, and returnthe roof to its familiar grey.

The round barn was designed by Calvin R. Neff (1860-1920) and was builtby a local carpenter, Aaron Thomas (1848-1926) in 1910, supposedly withoutusing plans or drawings. The story goes that Mr. Neff was inspired to build around barn after seeing similar structures from a train window on a trip to theMidwest in 1892.The two-level round barn measures 88 feet in diameter, en-closing 6,000 square feet, and stands 56 feet high at the center cupola. The barncelebrated its centennial in October of 2010 with a birthday party which drewa crowd of nearly 2,500 people. It is one of Centre County’s most famous land-marks, and this new roof promises to preserve the structure’s integrity for decadesto come.Scaffolding and supports allowed workers access to the roof.

Roofing work is nearly complete in this December, 2011 photo. Dormer windows were removed to be repairedand refurbished.

SPRING MILLS – The Penns Val-ley High School band and choruswrapped up the 2011 Christmasseason with their Holiday ConcertDecember 21 at the high schoolauditorium. The 55-member cho-rus, led by choral director Phil Stat-tel, began the program withMozart’s Alleluia. Three more songsfollowed, including Ubi Caritas, ahaunting, chant-like tune whoseorigins date back to somewhere be-tween the fourth and tenth cen-turies.

The Chamber choir subgroupsang three numbers including JingleBells Calypso, which put a Latinspin on the old favorite.

The full chorus returned withtwo sleigh-themed songs titled TheSleigh, and Sleigh Ride. Betweenthem was Betelehemu, a Nigerianfolk song with percussion accom-paniment. All the songs were verywell done.

After an intermission, the con-cert band, directed by Darris DeRemer, took the stage for a five-song program. Two of the fivesongs were the work of composerLeroy Anderson. The trumpet sec-

tion was featured in Bugler’s Holi-day (they were great!), and theiconic holiday favorite Sleigh Ridewas also a crowd pleaser.

For the grand finale, the bandand chorus combined, and invitedaudience members and alumni tojoin them in performing G. F.Handel’s Halleluiah Chorus fromhis Messiah oratorio. Their invita-tion filled the stage with singers ofall ages from the audience. Theirperformance was spectacular, withthe final “Hal-laaay-u-ia” bringingspine tingles and some tears to theenthralled audience. It was a greatconcert which showcased the talentof the Penns Valley High Schoolstudents, and the community spiritof the entire valley.

At the concert’s end, band direc-tor Darris DeRemer referred to aquote by Leo Tolstoy, which saidthat “music is the shorthand ofemotion.” DeRemer remarked thatthe students added the emotion tothe music. “It’s just notes withoutemotion,” he said. Emotion cer-tainly filled the auditorium thatnight, thanks to the talented singersand musicians of Penns Valley.

Phil Stattel directed the High School Chorus to begin the concert.

Trumpets were featured in Leroy Anderson’s Bugler’s Holiday.

Keeping the sidewalks clear is critical for both public safety and acces-sibility. It is especially important to clear ramps at corners so that full ac-cess is maintained. Snow and ice must be removed from the entire surfaceof the sidewalk over its entire length and width. Failure to clear sidewalkswill result in violations and costs to the property owner when the Bor-ough has to contract for the sidewalks to be cleared. (Please rememberthat residents are required to make arrangements for keeping their side-walks clear when they are out of town.) The full ordinance can be foundonline by visiting www.statecollegepa.us clicking on Borough Codes andthen on Chapter XVI, Part G.

Questions may be directed to the State College Department of Ordi-nance.

A Festive First Night in State CollegeArticle & photos by Karen DabneySTATE COLLEGE – Taking advantage of the mildweather, festive crowds of all ages welcomed the newyear during 2012 First Night State College. Music,magic, and workshops filled venues throughoutdowntown State College on December 31 from 1 to11:15 pm.

First Night offered an abundance of children's ac-tivities. The crafts workshops in the State CollegePresbyterian Church inspired toddlers through pre-teens to string beads for jewelry and to decorate cot-ton gym sacks with colorful fabric shapes and letters.They created badges in the the State College Munic-ipal Building Community Room, and spun thewheels of fate in Mayor Welch Plaza to get their newyear's fortunes.

Budding thespians enjoyed The Gypsy Princess, anaudience-interactive storytelling show offered byMiddle Earth Studios. For those who preferred towatch, The Puppet Factory staged a puppet show,The Precious Pearl.

The young and the young at heart laughed andapplauded during Chuck Flayhart's humorousmagic show, and the Amazing Feats of Comedy byMichael Rosman. Flayhart gave his own droll twistto traditional magic like the cups and balls trick, andto balancing tricks, but also added an escape fromtwo straightjackets that were fastened on him by achild from the audience.

Rosman, a graduate of the Ringling Brothers andBarnum and Bailey Circus Clown College, treatedhis audiences to the humorous side of juggling andunicycling, with physical comedy, jokes, and somecircus stunts mixed in. He juggled balls, blocks,knives, and clubs, sometimes while on precariousfooting, such as a wooden board balanced on a bowl-ing ball. His two talented teenagers, Ethan andSophia, joined him for many of the acts. For their

grand finale, the trio juggled clubs, passing themfrom person to person, while Rosman rode a unicy-cle, Ethan stood on a board balanced on a PVC pipe,and Sophia stood on a balance ball.

For those who wanted to get a head start on theirresolution to exercise more, First Night offered aZumba class, an introductory belly dance workshop,and an aerobic, foot-stomping evening of contradancing with live music by local band Smash theWindows, and calling by Bob Nicholson.

The belly dance performance at the UniversityBaptist and Brethren Church showcased ShannonBishop and Kristal Watrous of the local Pepper LotusTribal Dancers, and Anahata Tribal Belly DanceTroupe from Lewisburg. The dancers performedgraceful Egyptian dances, high-energy Turkishdances, and group-improvised American Tribaldances.

The First Night concerts offered something foreveryone. Rich Hirsch's newest band, the HexagonJazz Sextet, presented one of several jazz perform-ances. Rockfest at the Fairmont School featuredeight high-energy high school bands. The NittanyHighland Pipe Band, Callanish, and the duo ofBruce Foley and Mary Cooley offered various flavorsof Celtic music. Music lovers could also hear Dix-ieland, classical, folk, bluegrass, barbershop, and im-provisational percussion music.

Part of the fun of the glittering ice sculpturesthroughout Sidney Friedman Park, South AllenStreet, and vicinity was watching the sculptors carvethem with chainsaws. People enjoyed sitting in the

icy Angel Chair, but even more lined up to ride theever-popular ice slide.

Throughout the day, attendees wrote down oldresolutions and regrets and pinned them to theBurning Man Sculpture. At 11:15 p.m., the sculp-ture was burned in Sidney Friedman Park to markthe end of the old year and welcome the new one.

By Brian E. BassettLosing weight ultimately comes down to one key principle: Burn more calories

than you consume. No weight-loss plan will work if you have a thousand morecalories coming into your body on a daily basis than you have going out. It is agood idea to count calories, keep a diary; and burn calories – running, walking,and even exercising while sitting in front of a computer.

Following a weight-loss plan requires willpower – and old habits die hard. Here are some drastically edited excerpts from wikiHow, along with my own

thoughts, which may help you to knock off unwanted pounds – and keep themoff.

Use smaller bowls, plates, and containers to subconsciously influence howmuch you serve yourself.

Put utensils down after every bite. Take a sip of water between bites. Giveyour stomach enough time to feel full and reduce the likelihood that you'll optfor seconds. Eat slowly and you’ll eat less.

Make a list of the “bad” as well as healthful foods that are your weaknesses.Too much of anything is bad. Whatever your weakness may be, cut down on it.

Cutting it out completely might make you more likely to binge. Of course, ifcutting down doesn't work you might have to go “cold turkey.”

Replace refined-grain food (white bread, food made with white flour) forwhole-grain food (oatmeal, whole-grain cereal, whole-grain pasta, brown rice,and barley). You may not lose weight, but you will lose “waist,” by reducing bellyfat.

Limit the amount of cash you carry in your wallet, especially if you're subjectto spontaneous fast-food indulgences. When grocery shopping, prepare a listand bring just enough money to purchase those items. The possibility of nothaving enough money at the register will keep you from throwing extra items inthe cart.

Set an alarm to go off every twohours. Eat only then. Eliminatespontaneous eating sessions.Avoid skipping meals. Ifyou eat a little bitevery two hours,you won't be sohungry that yougorge yourself.You’ll find it easier tomaintain self-controland stick to your dietwithout hunger pangsclouding your judgment. Thiswill increase your metabolism. Ex-tending the time between meals will sendyour body into "starvation mode," and slowdown your metabolism. Fasting and skipping meals only makes things worse.

Set reasonable goals for weight loss, devise a plan to realize those goals, andthen stick to it.

The easiest way I’ve found for losing weight without invoking any immediate,major life-style change was to slightly decrease intake of all food and drink; andto eat or drink nothing but water after 7 p.m. After a couple weeks, cut out sec-ond helpings and stop eating and drinking at 6 p.m. Give this a month or so,then slightly reduce food and drink intake again. Eventually, move the time tostop eating and drinking back to 5 p.m. if you can. This isn’t easy – but it’s sim-ple; and it works.

If you really want to jump-start the process, cut out all alcohol and incorporatean aerobic-exercise program that lasts at least 20 minutes a day, three days a week.Good luck and Happy New Year.

In 2012, Resolve to beReady for DisastersBy MaryAnn Tierney, Regional AdministratorFEMA Region III

2011 has been an important reminder to all of usthat disasters strike anytime, anyplace. Regionally,we have felt those devastating effects first hand. Aswe recovery from 2011's disasters we prepare to con-tinually protect our communities for future emer-gency events in 2012. Our goal is to empower allresidents to become their own emergency managerthrough simple steps such as getting a kit, making aplan, and staying informed.

Last summer our region experienced disasters ofsignificant proportion. The severe impact of Hurri-cane Irene, Tropical Storm Lee, and the Mid-At-lantic earthquake thrust our recovery efforts intomotion in record volume. However, each disasterwas met head on by local, state, and federal partnersready to work together with the public's safety andbest interest in our minds and hearts.

Ultimately this year proved that we all are vulner-able to these hazards, no matter where we live. Andpreparing for them at the last minute can often betoo little, too late.

We all want the peace of mind of knowing thatour families, our homes and our businesses are safeand protected from threats of any kind. While wecan't control where or when the next flood, tornado,earthquake or other disaster will hit, we can take re-sponsibility for preparing our loved ones and prop-erties for emergencies.

As we reflect on the past year and get ready for anew beginning, we're encouraging all Americans todo their part to be prepared by Resolving to beReady for disasters in 2012. It's a New Year's reso-lution that is easy to keep – and could save your life.

First, make a family emergency communicationsplan. How would you contact your child if theschool was locked down? Where would you meetyour family if cell phone towers were down? Simplytake a moment to sit down with your family andcome up with a communication plan to deal withthese kinds of scenarios.

Second, build an emergency kit for your home,office, and car. What if the roads were so bad, thatyou had to stay in your office overnight? It would behelpful to have spare food, clothes, and medicationsat your office desk. In the New Year, treat yourselfto a shopping trip dedicated to building a few emer-gency kits. You can find a list of suggested items onReady.gov.

Third, stay informed of risks in your community.In this region in particular, we experience eventssuch as floods, hurricanes, tropical storms and snow.

Additionally, recognizing that it takes the wholecommunity to implement all-inclusive emergencymanagement, kind acts such as checking in onfriends and neighbors that might need extra assis-tance could make a world of difference.

So, if you haven't yet taken the steps to keep youand your family prepared for emergencies, pleasetake some time this holiday season and resolve to beready. Take the pledge or learn more information atwww.ready.gov/pledge - and encourage the rest ofyour neighbors to join you.

MaryAnn Tierney is the Regional Administrator forthe Federal Emergency Management Agency's RegionIII office, which covers Delaware, the District of Co-lumbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and WestVirginia.

By Amy Debach Confer’Twas the season of overindulgence and glut-

tony. Now, in the new year, it's time for many to re-verse the effects of the holiday season by setting aNew Year’s resolution. While becoming motivatedsimply because the calendar shows it's a new year isa worthy gesture, it's important to set goals, whetherbig or small, year round. In the past, I have set thetypical New Year’s resolutions such as to becomehealthier or to get organized.

This year, I have decided not to make any specificresolutions and simply try to be the best person I canbe – all year, all the time, every day. This encom-passes everything from eating healthy, exercising,and being organized to going to church, climbingmountains, and being a good mamma, to name afew. Statistics show that approximately 40 to 45 per-cent of all Americans make at least one New Year’sresolution but, the following, from Proac-tiveChange.com, shows how many of these resolu-tions are maintained as time goes on:

• past the first week: 75 percent• past two weeks: 71 percent • after one month: 64 percent • after six months: 46 percentWhile it has been proven that those who set

goals are 10 times more likely to attain them, manybreak these goals and actually feel disappointmentand failure after not reaching them. If you havestated a resolution or want to set a goal, conquer afear, or stop a bad habit any time of the year butcan't seem to stay on track, hypnosis could be theanswer.

I spoke with Lynn Ralston of Changes Hyp-notherapy, whose main location is in Spring Mills.She also works in State College, Harrisburg, andNew Cumberland. Lynn, who is also a RegisteredNurse, has helped people to quit smoking, loseweight, overcome the fear of an upcoming surgery,control or eliminate pain, heal quicker after a sur-gery, and control stress, anxiety, fear, nail biting, den-tistry, and even birthing. The list is seeminglyendless. If one needs assistance keeping resolutions,hypnosis is truly a safe, natural, and effective way tomake positive changes.

Lynn explained that the biggest obstacle in thepublic’s choice to utilize hypnotherapy is the lack ofunderstanding, resulting in unnecessary fear. Evenprofessionals have been completely fooled by Hol-lywood’s swinging watches and stage hypnotist’s il-lusions. Hypnosis is not brainwashing or mindcontrol! So many people don't know what it reallyis and Lynn said that her goal is to educate people,so that they will feel good about using this alteredstate of consciousness in which we naturally find

ourselves many times a day. In that state you can re-solve to accomplish far more than you ever thoughtpossible, and with enough practice, you can con-tinue to make positive changes through self hyp-notherapy.

Hypnosis is simply a state of relaxation and con-centration. It is an applied, altered, safe state of con-sciousness that is natural and familiar. We are in thisstate when we daydream, often when we are drivinga car or watching a movie or TV. We have beenknown to refer to it as “automatic pilot” when weare driving. This state of mind is natural to us andvirtually impossible to avoid. This is why hypnosiscould never be outlawed – it's unpreventable!

Some believe that hypnotists brainwash or gaincontrol of one’s mind but that is completely false.We are the only ones who decide our own attitudes,beliefs and behaviors. Lynn explained that the per-son has to want the change before it can work. Wefunction on "files" that are stored in the subcon-scious and unconscious mind. These files can bechanged any time, just as we "change our mind"about things in life.

Lynn explained how we change attitudes and be-haviors in our mind using this analogy. If, when wewere a child, tried spinach and hated it, we save thathatred for its taste in a file in our subconsciousmind. Then, every time we are offered it, we go tothe file and pass up the spinach, subconsciouslyknowing that we don't like it. But then we're invitedto a dinner party as an adult, where it would be rudeto pass up the spinach. We try the spinach and thenmay realize it's actually good and we like it. We nowgo to the "hate spinach" file in our brain and changeour mind about it. So next time we are offeredspinach our subconscious tells us to eat it up!

Now, take smoking for instance. You can use hyp-nosis to access the subconscious mind to deliberatelymake a change at a determined time and changeyour attitude and behavior about smoking. Youwould change your attitude from “smoking is ok” to“smoking is completely unacceptable” as one part ofthe change and simply quit.

Once a person understands how hypnosis worksand that they are always in complete control, theycan be confident of using it deliberately. One is notasleep during this process, but instead aware. We canonly make these positive changes such as stoppingsmoking or binge eating if we truly want the changeto take place.

So, in this New Year, 2012, we can make a reso-lution, set a goal, or simply be a better person but,if we need help to do this, know that hypnotherapyis a safe, natural, and effective way to change ourmind and attitude. Happy New Year!

Free Yourself through Hypnosis


By Daniel J. NestlerodeThere is a lot of financial and economic stuff going on all around the world

and much of it is rather serious. It is easy find yourself resigned to do nothing fi-nancially because it might not work anyway. Rather than slipping into resigna-tion about financial matters, you should first sort the economic and financialevents of the day into two piles: those you can do something about and thosethat are beyond your personal control. First let’s work on the ones that you cando something about.

When pondering your personal financial New Years’ resolutions, make somegoals that are readily attainable within the coming year. For example, winningthe lottery is probably not going to happen, so don’t make resolutions that areakin to shooting for the moon. The first thing to resolve is to get professionalassistance.

Resolution 1: Get professional assistance.When setting financial goals, be sure to enlist help from someone who is al-

ready good at making and keeping financial resolutions. I prefer this resolution

to any others (e.g. saving more money or paying down credit card outstandingbalances) because it puts you on a path, and starts a relationship that supportsyour commitments in life. Find a financial professional who is fee-based and notone who earns commissions selling you products. Your fee-based financial advisorshould be one who is committed to the outcome of your investment efforts, notone who just wants to earn their living selling you stuff.

Resolution 2: Get your financial information together.If you followed Resolution One, you’ve found someone who will assist you in

collecting and arranging your financial information so that you can make deci-sions based on your current situation. If you want to go somewhere, it is usuallyimportant to know where you are now.

Resolution 3: Setreasonable, attainable goals.

Start your financial goalswith baby steps. If you are al-ready good at this, then youcan take bigger steps. The re-ally important point here isto start a process of repeatedsuccesses. Working withyour advisor, start withthings that are meaningful toyou and your family and setshort term goals: one month,three month, half year andfull year. Then start achiev-ing these goals with the helpand assistance of your cho-sen advisor.

Sir John Templeton (ofmutual-fund fame) startedhis investment portfolio by investing 50 percent of his take-home pay duringthe Depression and died a few years back as a billionaire. He started with whathe had on hand and didn’t worry about the Depression, which he couldn’t con-trol.

Resolution 4: Invest very conservatively.Starting to build an investment reserve and getting out of debt is like building

a house. You start with the basement, solid concrete footers and rebar and con-crete blocks. This is not the cocktail-party investment conversation stuff, but itis the part that will help support those more aggressive investments that peoplelove to talk about. Nobody talks about the foundation of their investment port-folio, but without it you are on dangerous financial grounds. The point here isto begin to accumulate savings and not to earn large returns, but to avoid losses.

As I said when I started this article, there are those things you can do some-thing about and those that are beyond your control. The four resolutions aboveare well within your control. The ones outside your control are better handledby a good financial advisor. Let them worry about the economic collapse in Eu-rope and what Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke is saying in front of Con-gress. At the end of 2012, if you have fulfilled these resolutions, you will quitelikely be financially better off than you are today. As Lao Tzu said, “A journey ofa thousand miles begins with a single step.”

Nittany Lions: “Houston … wehave a problem” By Matt Masullo

On November 9, 2011, Joe Paternowas fired as the head football coach atPenn State University, amidst the childabuse scandal brought on by Jerry San-dusky, Tim Curley, Gary Shultz, andmore than likely, a host of others; ar-guably one of the, if not the darkest dayin University history. That day, TomBradley was named the interim headfootball coach who would lead the teamthroughout the remainder of their seasonthat ended at the hands of the HoustonCougars with a 30-14 TicketCity Bowlloss.

Soon after Coach Paterno was fired,newly appointed Penn State athletic di-rector David Joyner appointed a six per-son search committee entrusted withfinding the programs 15th coach in its125 year history. The committee featuresJoyner, Ira Lubert (arguably the heaviesthitter in the lineup), Linda Caldwell,Charmelle Green, John Nichols andRuss Rose. Lubert was instrumental inbringing Cael Sanderson to Penn Stateto lead the wrestling program (whichwon a National Title in his second yearon the job). Sanderson was one of a fewcoaches held in the highest regard in thecollegiate wrestling ranks. According toLuberts biography, "he has provided fi-nancial support for wrestling and PennState's All- Sports Museum" as well asserving on "the athletics committee ofthe National Council on Penn State Phi-lanthropy." Needless to say, he appearsto be the kind of person who knowswhat he wants, and when he does, hegoes out and gets it.

Unfortunately, what he wants may notsit well with the other five committeemembers, or the potential footballcoaches on his wish list. The coachingsearch has now reached its eighth weekand depending on what you read orwhat you believe; Penn State has eitherbotched their situation beyond relief infinding a successor for Coach Paterno, orhas played the best hand of poker everplayed. With several schools looking forand finding new leadership heading intothe 2012 season, including Ohio State,UCLA and Texas A&M to name a few,Penn State has yet to announce who willbe leading their program.

National Signing Day is less than amonth away and Penn State is said tohave only 14 recruits on their commit-ment list. Having a definitive head coachin place is crucial in securing this year’srecruits, bringing in other recruits tobuild the program and, maybe more im-portantly, keeping players who are al-

ready on the roster interested in stayingin Happy Valley. However, having the“right” coach in place is more importantto the programs longevity. Losing a yearof recruiting will hurt, there is no doubtabout that, but this program isn’t in po-sition when one recruiting class withhave the Nittany Lions playing in theBCS Championship game next season.

With each passing day without a headcoach a new name is thrown into therumor mill as the next head coach atPenn State. Be it a current coach on staff,another coach at the collegiate level orperhaps a coach from the professionalranks; the information that is beingmade public is so tight lipped, that anyname out there is based on pure specu-lation. Reports have conflicted on whohas interviewed, who is interested orwho is even on the list.

Selling candidates on coming to PennState to lead the football program ismuch like a Realtor trying to sell a housethat may have its flaws in one of thenicer neighborhoods in town. Sure, thehouse may need some work, but with theresources that are available to the buyer,the house that was once viewed as un-sellable will eventually become one ofthe nicer houses on the block.

Not wanting to speculate on anynames, this writer can only make two as-sumptions:

The committee really has no lead can-didate and is reaching for anyone who isinterested to lead a program that hassome of the best facilities in the nation,most rapid fan bases in the country anda solid foundation to build upon, regard-less of the scandal that rocked NittanyNation. Every name that you see scroll-ing across the bottom of ESPN has al-ready been interviewed or will beinterviewed in the coming days.

Or:The committee has had the coaching

search on lockdown from day one; al-ready has their coach ready to sign a con-tract and are waiting to announce thehire. Why they would wait to make theannouncement could be because thecoach was still coaching as of January2012, will be coaching in the comingdays in one of the BCS bowl games, oris still coaching in the NFL playoffs.Each name that is thrown out there onwhat seems like a daily basis anymore isjust to throw off any potential lead to theactual candidate.

Either way, when a coach is officiallyhired, he will have his work cut out forhim. Here’s to hoping Penn State landsthe “right” coach at the “right” time.

By Les Barnhart

A season that few Penn State fans or players will not soon forgetended with a game that both tried to forget as soon as it ended.In the second annual TicketCity Bowl (during which we learnedthat the sponsor company “eats pudding”) the Nittany Lionsfound themselves playing catch-up to a team with a high octaneoffense. The problem for Penn State was they were trying to chasethem down with a diesel truck. They dug themselves an early holeand despite outscoring (7-6) the Cougars in the second half, theNittany Lions fell 30-14 in a game played at the Cotton Bowl.

The Houston Cougars (13-1) jumped out early on the NittanyLions with a long touchdown pass from record setting CaseKeenam. The senior quarterback was impressive all afternoon ashe torched the Nittany Lion defense for a record 227 yards passingin the first quarter alone. That first quarter would end with theConference USA runner-ups holding a 17-0 lead that left PennState fans with little doubt that their first bowl game without JoePaterno would not end well for the boys in blue.

Not having the services of Matt McGloin meant that the offen-sive hopes would be in the hands of quarterback Rob Bolden. Thesophomore signal caller that struggled this season when he was onthe field was being asked to do something he had not done sinceOctober…play in a game.

The Nittany Lions’ offense struggled to find consistency all dayand while the Cougars were moving up and down the field andbuilding an early lead, the Bolden-led offense opened the gamewith four straight three-and-out drives. Add to that, Anthony Ferashanked two punts and it proved to be a tough watch for thosewho have ESPNU broadcast into their homes.

Trailing 17-0 in the second quarter, Penn State looked to getthe break they were looking for as Justin Brown returned a punt96 yards for a touchdown which included some incredible sidelinework that ultimately would result in instant replay overturning thescore after showing he stepped out of bounds. It would not matteras the Nittany Lions would carry the momentum forward andwould cap the drive with a direct snap run to Stephon Green thatcut the deficit to 17-7 just past the midway point of the quarter.

Houston leads the nation in scoring drives of less than 2:00 andthey would add to that with another one as Keenam connected forhis second of third touchdown pass, this one a 75-yard bomb thatanswered the Nittany Lions’ touchdown and gave the Cougars a27-7 halftime lead.

The Penn State offense struggled to move the ball which madeit that much harder on a defensive unit that was on the field a lotand was playing with a short field a great deal in the first half. De-spite allowing just two field goals in the second half, they were in-effective in getting pressure on Keenum, recording just two sackswith one being a rollout that Keenum gave himself up. Keenumcompleted 45 of 69 passes for 532 yards and the three first halftouchdowns. Not since the 1989 Holiday Bowl when BYU’s TyDetmer threw for 576 yards had the Nittany Lions allowed a 500yard passer. While the Nittany Lions won 50-39 in that game,they were not so fortunate this time around.

While fingers may be pointed for the reasons behind such a poorshowing for the Nittany Lions, they will need to be pointed inmore directions than most people have fingers on their hand. Ina season that saw the storied career of Coach Joe Paterno come toan unceremonious end and the state of the program in such flux,it is a credit to the players on the field that they were able to holdit together and play the last two months. It is a shame that theplayers on the field against Houston, some of which will haveplayed their last games as Nittany Lions, was done so under a darkcloud that none of them had anything to do with.

Eagles’ harmonious in winover HarmonyBy Les Barnhart

Bald Eagle Area pounded Harmony 66-32 in theconsolation game of the Purchase Line Tournamentheld December 27th and 28th. They had previouslydropped a 67-32 decision to host Purchase Line inthe opening round of the holiday tournament.

In the loss, Bryan Greene had 14 points to leadthe Eagles. Against Harmony, the Eagles got bal-anced scoring with Jeff Koleno leading the attackwith 13 points while Brandon Gettig had 10. RyanDyke added 9 points as the Eagles improved to 5-2on the season.

Eagles finish season on a high noteBy Matt Masullo

When the Philadelphia Eagles kicked off the 2011 season, they were thoughtto be one of, if not the favorite to unseat the Green Bay Packers for NFC su-premacy. A bonehead statement from a backup quarterback, injuries to the fran-chises highest paid player and with a defense that couldn’t stop some high schoolteams until Week 15, expectations went from Super Bowl to securing a .500record, which they did on Sunday with a 34-10 victory over the WashingtonRedskins.

The Eagles came out gunning, with Michael Vick tossing for 335 yards, threetouchdowns and one interception. Vick hit Chad Hall (7 yards), DeSean Jackson(62 yards) and Brent Celek (4 yards) for touchdowns, on a day when he and theoffense hit their stride. Backup running back Dion Lewis stepped up for a dingedup LeSean McCoy and rushed for 58 yards and a touchdown. Jeremy Maclinled all Eagle receivers with eight catches for 105 yards. At the end of the day,The Eagles had set a franchise record with 6,386 total yards on the season.

For the Redskins, former Penn State Nittany Lion Evan Royster led the waywith 113 yards rushing on the day, while Rex Grossman threw for 256 yards anda touchdown in what could be his final game with the Redskins. The Redskinswill be picking 6th in the upcoming NFL Draft following a season where theyfinished with a 5-11 record. Look for the Redskins to upgrade the quarterbackposition in April with their first pick, should someone like Robert Griffin III beavailable.

For the Eagles, the win puts a ribbon on a sub-par season for their fan base,finish 8-8. The Eagles will be picking 15th in the NFL Draft. They are in des-perate need of help at the linebacker position, after having their linebackingcorps get beat up on what seemed to be a weekly basis this past season. Look forthem to draft a linebacker early in April’s draft, or possibly in free agency.

Steelers limp by BrownsBy Matt Masullo

As each week passes, the Steelers seemingly lose another key member of theirfootball team to injury. This past week, the injury bug bit running back RashardMendenhall, he suffered a torn ACL in his right knee. The injury will costMendenhall the remainder of this season, and possibly the beginning of nextseason, as the injury is typically a 9-month injury, should there be no setbacks.

As far as the Steelers are concerned, they got by the Cleveland Browns with a13-9 victory in Cleveland, the Steelers 16th victory in their last 17 games againstthe Browns. The game was an ugly one to watch, and an even uglier one to playin. After watching the Browns and Steelers combine for 600 yards of total of-fense, seeing Case Keenum and the Houston Cougars roll that much total offenseon their own against the Nittany Lions had to make the Steeler Nation cringe.I digress.

As the Steelers head to the playoffs, they will be limping in to say the least.Ben Roethlisberger is still hobbled with a bum ankle. LaMarr Woodley still won’tbe at 100% with a tight hamstring that has kept him off the field for a quarterof the season. Pro Bowl Center Maurkice Pouncey played against the Browns,but has been slowed with a bad ankle as well. Also on the injury list are two cor-nerbacks; Keenan Lewis with a hamstring and Cortez Allen with a shoulder, aswell as Mewelde Moore with a sprained MCL.

The Steelers will travel to Denver to take on the Broncos on Sunday in anAFC Wild Care matchup. Adding to the injury list will be starting safety RyanClark, who has a sickle cell trait that caused a violent reaction in 2007 that re-quired emergency surgery that nearly took his life. He lost his spleen and gallbladder from the reaction caused by the exertion in the mile-high altitude. Hewill be on the sidelines as a spectator Sunday, not roaming the secondary for theBlack and Gold.

Ifyou do take our picks and win, we’d like half of yourwinnings. Thanks.

Cincinnati at Houston 4:30 PM Saturday January 7 on NBC

When the season started, Houston was a sexy pickto win the AFC South. When Peyton Manning hadhis second neck surgery, they were virtually handed thedivision playing the Jaguars and Titans, who did sur-prise the league and were in contention until the lategames last weekend.

The Texans are without their best defensive playerin Mario Williams, who went on injured reserve earlierthis season. They are also on their third quarterback inT.J. Yates, who replaced Matt Leinart, who replacedMatt stump the Schuab. They lean heavily on the run-ning game in Arian Foster and Brandon Tate and haveweapons on the outside in Andre Johnson and tightend Owen Daniels. It’s hard to fathom Yates carryingthe team on his back through the playoffs, having morefingers on his right hand than he has NFL starts. TheTexan defense has their play caller, Wade Phillips, backin the mix after an emergency surgery earlier this sea-son. They have been solid unit on a weekly basisthroughout the season.

The AFC North figured to have two teams in theplayoffs this season and the Bengals weren’t one ofthem. However, the rookie duo of Andy Dalton andA.J. Green have carried an offense that saw CarsonPalmer retire, then unretired to play for the Raidersand had Chad Ochocinco get traded to New Englandto catch as many passes throughout the season as theGronk (Tight End Rob Gronkowski) caught in a twoweek span.

Masullo – Bengals. In a game that can go eitherway, I like the Dalton to Green combo more than Ilike Yates to Johnson. Dalton has more experienceheading into the game, and I like his chances at successmore than I like Yates’.

Barnhart – Bengals. I will take the Bengals in whatcould be called an upset. Both teams basically haverookie quarterbacks and talented running backs. Theadvantage in the running game leans toward the Texansbut it tips back to Cincy when it comes to theQB. Andy Dalton has done some great things for theBengals in his rookie season while TJ Yates has filledin admirably as the third QB for the Texans. Shouldbe close but the Bengals have enough defensively towin their first playoff game since Carson Palmer worea striped helmet.

Detroit at New Orleans 8 PM Saturday January 7 on NBC

The Detroit Lions are in the NFL playoffs for thefirst time since 1999. The New Orleans Saints arepoised to shatter every offensive record the NFL recordbook has. If you like defense, you might want to findsomething else to do on Saturday night.

In a regular season rematch from Week 13, two highflying offenses will be on the fast track in the Big Easy.Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson, Brandon Pettigrewand rookie Titus Young lead an offense that slings theball around like a game of back yard football. TheLions leading rusher (Jahvid Best) went on the shelfearly in the season, and STILL led the team in rushing.Megatron, aka Calvin Johnson, is arguably the bestwide out in football and catches anything within a twomile radius of him.

The Saints have a guy named Drew Brees, you mayhave heard of him. He just broke Dan Marino’s 27-year old passing record for yards in a single season. Hefinished the season with an eye-popping 5,476 passing

yards. What’s comical is that is the second time in hiscareer that he has topped the 5,000 yard barrier. He issilly good. He could be the MVP of the league whenthe votes are tallied. He also set records for completionsin a season (468), most 300 plus yard games in a season(13) and most consecutive 300 plus yard games in aseason (7). In addition to Brees, the Saints have DarrenSproles, who set the NFL record for all-purpose yardsin a season with 2,696 with rushing, receiving and re-turn yards. Needless to say, they have enough weaponson offense to attack some small third-world countries.

Masullo – Saints. The Lions are a great story, butthe Saints have a team that can hang with the Packersand score on any team in the playoffs right now. TheLions just gave up 40 plus points to a backup quarter-back in Matt Flynn in Green Bay. Imagine what DrewBrees and company will do to them. The Saints win aclose one, 67-65.

Barnhart – Saints. Hello Detroit! Welcome backto the postseason...your reward is trying to slow downthe Saints offense. Good luck. Hard to pick againstthe Lions and all they have done but the Saints are toogoo not to pick at home. The Lions defense was shred-ded by Matt Flynn and the Packers last weekend whichleads you to believe that Drew Brees in an MVP seasoncould do the same. In what could be a high scoringaffair, the Saints get the nod in this tilt.

Atlanta at New York 1 PM Sunday January 8 on FOX

The New York Giants needed a win in Week 17 toget into the playoffs after an up and down season,when one week they looked to be Super Bowl favoriteand the next appeared to be destined for a top ten pickin the draft. The Falcons have played second fiddle tothe Saints in the NFC South all season long.

Atlanta features a young nucleus of talent in MattRyan, Roddy White and Julio Jones. Michael Turnerhas been slumping recently and the running game forthe Falcons sets up their play-action pass, so in orderfor them to get things going offensively, Turner andthe afterburners need to get going early and often.

For the Giants, Eli Manning has found a new go-to-target in the salsa dancing Victor Cruz, who twoyears ago, broke onto the NFL stage in a preseasongame where he caught three touchdown passes. Theycan’t run the football, but that won’t matter in a gamewhere Eli and Ryan could combine for 80 plus passes.The Giants also boast a trio of talented defensive line-man who pressure the quarterback like no other groupin football in Osi Umenyiora, Jason Pierre-Paul andJustin tuck.

Masullo – Giants. The pass rush from the Giantsfront four will be in Matt Ryan’s face all day long. TheFalcons had 35 points on the scoreboard last week be-fore some fans got to their seats, but the Giants defenseisn’t as bad as Tampa Bay’s was. Eli and the offense willdo just enough to sneak out a win.

Barnhart – Falcons. The Giants are an interestingteam. Three weeks ago they got waxed by the Redskinsand that is something I can't get out of my head. TheFalcons put 42 points up in the first half against aTampa Bay team that perhaps quit. I like the Falconsin this game perhaps more for the fact that I don't likethe consistency of the Giants. Take Matt Ryan and theFalcons on the road in this NFC clash.

Pittsburgh at Denver 4:30 PM Sunday January 8 on CBS

The Steelers limp into Denver to take on one of themost talked about people in all of pro sports in TimTebow. The Bronco’s started the season with the “neckbeard” in Kyle Orton at quarterback, and looked likea virtual lock to secure a top pick in the NFL Draft inApril with their play early on. Tebow Time started andthe Broncos went 7-4 down the stretch. The Steelersopened the season with a veteran team with hopes ofmaking one more run at a Lombardi Trophy. Injurieshave taken a toll on the Black and Gold, but they stillfound themselves with the second best record in the

AFC. The Broncos are definitely a run first, second and

third team with Tebow at the helm. The Broncos runthe ball as well as anyone in the league, featuring aspread option look that most NFL defenders last sawin college. As more film is logged on Tebow and com-pany, it is becoming easier to stop their ground it outrunning game. Tebow just wins though and bettingagainst him is frowned upon. Their defense has alsocome on as of late. Elvis Dumervill and potential de-fensive rookie of the year Von Miller have combinedfor 21 sacks this year.

The Steelers traditionally were a run first, secondand third team in the past; then they drafted BenRoethlisberger. He has morphed the team into a spreadthe field and chuck the ball around the park offensewith playmakers such as Antonio Brown and MikeWallace at his disposal. Who he won’t have this week,or the rest of the post season should the Steelers ad-vance, will be Rashard Mendenhall, who tore his ACLlast week in a win over the Browns. The Steelers willrely on a running-back-by-committee approach for theforeseeable future. They also have one of the best de-fenses in football with Troy Polomalu, James Harrisonand LaMarr Woodley roaming the field. They will bewithout a defender who has been on the field morethan anyone else this season in Ryan Clark, who has asickle cell disorder that has kept him off of the trips toDenver since 2007, when he had emergency surgeryto save his life after a reaction to the altitude in themile-high city.

Masullo – Steelers. Call me Norm Brown (Homer),but I think Tebow and the Broncos offense will strug-gle to move the ball against the Steelers defense. BenRoethlisberger has had enough time to heal up hishobbled ankle and can move around in the pocketnow. His elusiveness will give him time to find MikeWallace (who has been missing as of late), AntonioBrown, Heath Miller and the always dangerous playoffreceiver and recent member of the 1,000 career recep-tion club, Hines Ward.

Barnhart – Steelers. Even without Mendenhall, whothe Steelers lost to a torn ACL, this game goes to Pitts-burgh and the once brightly burning light of TimTebow is snuffed out on what could be a snowyfield. The Broncos defense may keep this close for awhile but the Steelers simply have too much firepoweron BOTH sides of the ball to not advance to nextweekend.

STATE COLLEGE – State High Thespians andARTsmART present the Senior Advanced Perform-ing Arts Seminar students in A Year With Frog AndToad – a delightful musical rendition of the belovedArnold Lobel books by Robert and Willie Reale.Children of all ages will delight in journeyingthrough a year with fun-loving Frog and slightlygrumpy Toad as they plant gardens, swim, rakeleaves, sled, and learn valuable life lessons.

Geared toward young audiences with bright,catchy tunes, dancing, and fun characters (but loadsof fun for older kids and adults too) this musical ver-sion of the wildly popular children’s stories makesfor a terrific family outing.

Meet Frog and Toad on Saturday, January 7 at 7p.m. and Sunday, January 8 at 2 p.m. in the High

School North Auditorium. General admission tick-ets are available at the door: $7 adults, $6 students,$5 children under 10 (accompanied by an adult).

This family-style musical will be presented Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon at the State High North Auditorium.

Family Musical Plays January 7 & 8

Park’s View: Stage & ScreenBy Pat Park

Of all the choices of entertainment provided on First Night inState College, my yearly tradition has become Under Milk Wood,the play for voices written by Dylan Thomas. Thomas has alwaysbeen among my favorite poets and to hear this particular play doneby talented readers/ actors is a treat.

The charm of Under Milk Wood is simply that we, the audience,get a chance to listen to the night-time dreams and day-time

thoughts of the inhabitants living in a small Welsh fishing village, Llareggub. After listening for awhile,we recognize the individuals of the little town; we laugh and weep with them.

This year’s cast was particularly good. Veteran actors, Helen Manfull and Allan “Oz” Osborne, werethe two narrators and as a result had the responsibility of the most beautiful of the lines of poetry.The language rolled out of them so effortlessly.

The rest of the cast included Caitlin Osborne, John Austin, Bob Barton. Julia Albertson, and JuliaLaplante. If you are counting, that means that the whole town was voiced by seven actors. Each onebrought to life very different personalities, and with great ease.

I enjoyed this year’s production very much. The stage set allowed for better sight lines than lastyear, making it a little easier to identify the speaker. The play contains quite a bit of humor, and anaudience can miss these lines if the actor is “reciting” poetry. The cast did such an excellent job oftiming that the audience was laughing out loud in places.

This year’s talented group of actors was directed by Susan Riddiford Shedd and to her goes thecredit for the staging and timing of the show. Ms Shedd’s name in a program – no matter if actor, di-rector, or whatever – means that you might want to be part of her audience.

I hate to close on a negative and I do know that this yearly production is a fundraiser, but I wouldsuggest a little more information in the program. I am afraid to try to identify actors by part, unlessI am absolutely sure that I recognize them.

So, instead, I will close with my favorite line: “We are not wholly bad or good, who live our livesunder Milk Wood.” That line best illustrates the universality of the show because it applies to each ofus, no matter where we live.

Stage & Screen
