Maestro Stephen Gunzenhauser and the Festival Orchestra are opening the Endless Mountain Music Festival’s 2024 17-Day Season with three performances this weekend.
The orchestra and pianist Jeffrey Biegel are performing the Pennsylvania premiere of Peter Boyer’s new “Rhapsody in Red, White & Blue” at 7 p.m. this Friday, July 19 in Steadman Theatre at Commonwealth University in Mansfield and the iconic “Rhapsody in Blue” written 100 years ago in 1924 by George Gershwin at 7 p.m. this Saturday, July 20 at the Corning Museum of Glass Auditorium.
In celebration of the 100th birthday of “Rhapsody in Blue,” Biegel created the Rhapsody National Initiative project and titled the new work a “Rhapsody in Red, White & Blue” for Peter Boyer to compose. Inspired by Gershwin’s masterpiece, Boyer wrote the new work for piano and orchestra. Over the next three years, Biegel will be performing it with orchestras in all 50 states.
Opening night at Mansfield, the orchestra will also play Bach’s “Suite No. 3” Creston’s “Dance Overture” and Cowell’s “Symphony No. 13, Madras,”
At the Corning concert, “Happy Birthday, Gershwin,” the orchestra will also perform Brahms’ “Symphony No. 2” and Tsontakis’ “Laconika.”

More!! LIFE is actually a SPIRITUAL battle of WILLS !!
By Roland Maxwell, humble and thankful servant of our Lord and Saviour.
Our HEART is where our power is. We control that power with our MINDS, though our (lost)WILL. Among the things that control our (lost)WILL are our morals, ethics, ideologies and fears that we have been indoctrinated with, peer influence, and our dreams. These are among the very CORE PRINCIPLES that make a human, a human, and they represent our character, or souls. So, our (lost)WILL is really who we are, if you have ever wondered “WHO AM I”, well, our (lost)WILL is the basic answer, but there are also two other SPIRITUAL influences, from outside us, that also effect “WHO WE ARE”, and they are the Devil’s (evil)WILL and God’s (perfect)WILL.
That means that “WHO WE ARE” without God’s (perfect)WILL in the picture, is a struggle between our (lost)WILL and the Devil’s (evil)WILL. But through God’s grace (God’s supernatural help), we can have access to God’s (perfect)WILL, and then we can have opportunity to have God’s (perfect)WILL start becoming a DOMINATING force over the other WILLS, which are our (lost)WILL and the Devil’s (evil)WILL. We live without access to God’s (perfect)WILL by default though. To get access to God’s grace (supernatural help) and his (perfect)WILL, in order to get it to become the DOMINATING force in our lives, (if we truly want it to), is through realizing that our (lost)WILL doesn’t lead us in our best interests, or to eternal life, or free us from our bondage to sin.
When we realize that, and confess to our own hopelessness, repent of our ways to where our (lost)WILL has led us, accept God’s atonement for sin, which is Christ Crucified, and Make the Lord Christ Jesus our master. Then we can have access to God’s grace (supernatural help) and can become a servant of God’s (perfect)WILL. Amen

HARRISBURG – Rep. Martin Causer (R-Cameron/McKean/Potter) and Sen. Cris Dush (R-25) today announced nearly $15.5 million in funding for Shinglehouse Borough’s ongoing wastewater treatment plant improvements.
The funding comes in the form of a $15.38 million grant and a low-interest loan of $112,859. Both the grant and the loan were awarded by the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST) at its meeting Wednesday.
“This is a vital investment in public health, as well as the reliability and longevity of our infrastructure systems in Shinglehouse,” Causer said. “It is so important to ensure our communities can properly treat their wastewater to protect our clean water supply. I was pleased to support this funding.”
“As is the case in most rural communities, meaningful and sustained economic recovery begins with adequately funding and maintaining a safe, reliable and clean water and sewer infrastructure,” said Dush. “I am confident that Shinglehouse Borough will apply both this grant and low-interest loan as investments toward responsible environmental stewardship, to ensure a healthier ecosystem and safeguard the well-being of aquatic life. By qualifying for this highly competitive state financing, Shinglehouse Borough will be able to significantly upgrade the sewer wastewater treatment plant and meet the water quality needs of their community for years to come.”
MoreClearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that it closed one lane of a bridge along Route 6 that spans Trout Brook approximately one mile east of Roulette and activated temporary traffic signals.
