(bright music) And from Landmark, and Landmark is A, a savings and loan?
B, a bank?
C, a leading mortgage lender?
Or D, all of the above?
The correct answer is D, all of the above.
People to people, it's just a better way to bank.
(upbeat music) Now let's get the game started.
Here's the host of "The Pennsylvania Game," Lynn Hinds.
(audience clapping) - Thank you, thank you, that's who I am.
Hi.
(audience clapping) Hi.
Thank you very much.
Delighted that you're here with us to play "The Pennsylvania Game."
Got some good questions and good studio audience.
Junior Girl Scout Troop number 62 from Clearfield's here with us again, and we're appreciate there being here.
He's a professional writer and a teacher of writing, Bernie Asbell, on our panel.
(audience clapping) Also joining our panel, she grew up in Bedford, Pennsylvania, and currently works at Juniata College.
Let's welcome Deb Peterson.
(audience clapping) Another native Pennsylvanian, who works in Pittsburgh television right now, Al McDowell.
(audience clapping) Now I hesitate to ask these religious questions, 'cause the panel sometimes embarrasses me, but this is about one in Manheim, Lancaster County.
- [Announcer] This is the Zion Lutheran Church in Manheim, Pennsylvania.
It's also known as the Red Rose Church.
Is it called the Red Rose Church because it A, is known for its lavish rose gardens?
B, was built with a donation by a tea company?
C, originated the Lancaster County Rose Competition?
Or D, pays an annual rent of one red rose?
- Okay, Bernie you're in seat number one so you get to answer first on this first question.
What do you think there?
- Oh, I'm so tempted on D, it pays an annual rent of one- - [Lynn] There really are some charming kind of answers here.
- As matter of fact, I remember now, they pay an annual rent of one red rose.
- [Lynn] You remember that?
- I remember it, we've gotta go with that, yeah.
- Our panelists sometimes make up things they remember.
Deb?
- Hey, I don't have to make it up this time.
I know.
We had a pastor go from Huntington to that particular church, where they pay one red rose.
- So you're going with D?
Pretty heavy convincing up here, Mr. McDowell.
Are you convinced?
- I don't believe I've ever been in the church garden of the Red Rose Church.
- Uh-huh.
- So therefore I don't know if it has a lavish rose garden.
- Oh, it has, yeah.
- I don't know if it was built by a donation by a tea company.
- There is a Red Roses tea.
- I don't know if it was originated by the line.
I have to go with a off the wall guest.
I'm going with pays an annual rose.
- I see.
(audience clapping) Dare to be different, I always say.
Well, folks, we never promised you a rose garden, as the song goes.
What's the answer to this one?
- [Announcer] The answer is D, it pays annual rent of one red rose.
Henry William Stiegel founded Manheim in 1762.
He had made a fortune since coming to America from Germany and he spent lavishly.
Stiegel gave the land for the church in return for an annual rent of one red rose.
Each second Sunday in June, more than 200 years later, one of Stiegel's descendants is presented with the annual rent, one red rose.
- And a great tradition, 200 years later, and they're still paying the annual rent of one red rose.
- [Bernie] I never had such a feeling of security settle on me, as when Deb said, "I know."
- Yeah.
I wish I could buy a house with the same condition as one red rose would be nice.
- Yeah.
- One dandelion.
- Yeah.
That may be the last question this panel gets correct, 'cause they're gonna get harder from now on.
Let's go to Pittsburgh for our next question.
- [Announcer] Harry Davis, along with his brother-in-law, John Harris, started a business in Pittsburgh in 1905.
The name they gave their business was soon copied by hundreds all across America.
Did they call their business, A, a drug store?
B, department store?
C, Nickelodeon?
Or D, penny arcade?
- [Al and Bernie] Hmm.
- Now Deb Peterson, if you get too many right, you'll never be invited back, you know that, but with that at risk- - I'm aware of that.
(Lynn laughing) - What do you think?
- Oh, gee, just to ensure my chances of staying, (Lynn laughing) I'm gonna try a penny arcade.
I really have no idea.
- Okay.
- But it sounds like fun.
- 1905, started business in Pittsburgh, and the name they gave their business was copied by hundreds all across America.
She says D, penny arcade.
Al, what do you say?
- I might know something about it.
Although I think she could be close, but I've gotta go with C. - Nickelodeon?
- I think it became a national friend.
- The Girl Scouts think you're right.
Bernie?
- I think the Nickelodeon's were movies.
And I don't know if...
Yes, we'll try Nickelodeon.
- [Lynn] You think the first movie house was in Pittsburgh in 1905?
- No, no, no.
I just think that- - You didn't say that.
- I didn't say that, I said...
But I think something was called a Nickelodeon.
Harry invented the word Nickelodeon.
- [Announcer] The answer is C, Nickelodeon.
(audience clapping) The world's first theater, devoted solely to motion pictures, was in a 96-seat storeroom in Pittsburgh.
There you could see 1905 state-of-the-art films for a nickel, hence the name, Nickelodeon.
- And there were literally hundreds of these within just the next year or two, all over the country.
And it was the first full-time movie house just for showing movies in Pittsburgh.
It was either on Diamond Street or Smithfield.
The plaque is down on Smithfield Street, but I've heard people say to me, Al, that it really was around the corner on Diamond Street, I think is what it used to be called.
- It's far beyond, before I was born, Lynn, obviously.
It was on Diamond.
- Was it?
(laughs) Okay, Bernie, I just saw you signing just dozens of autographs.
- Yeah, I'm so grateful to Troop 62 for asking.
- Isn't that a thrill- - Dozen people, oh, yeah.
- when people ask for your autograph?
- Thank you, Troop 62.
- Yeah.
We're glad to have Deb Peterson join us this time.
Deb grew up a country girl, she tells me, in Bedford County?
- That's true.
- In Bedford County.
- Bedford county.
- Right.
- [Lynn] And attended Juniata College, graduate of Juniata College.
- Yes.
- [Lynn] And you're back now as interim director of information.
- That's correct.
- Yeah.
- I'm trying to get Juniata better known in the- - Well, Juniata is one of the many small private schools in Pennsylvania that just do a super job of educating people and it's a beautiful campus and it shouldn't be that hard to publicize.
- [Debra] We try very hard.
- We're glad to have you here.
Al's back again.
I said before that Al has worked in Pittsburgh, KDKA Radio and Television.
He's worked at WFIL, which is now WPVI.
PVI?
- Yeah.
- In Philadelphia back at WTAE now, and that Al and I worked together on a show.
And I can also tell you, 'cause I know so much about Al, but I know when his birthday was.
He was born on the same day as General Grant, Ulysses S. Grant, right?
- [Paul] The same year?
- No, not the same year.
- Thank you audience for asking the question.
- Paul Wallace from Uniontown in our audience.
No, not the same year, Paul, but that's how I remember Al's birthday.
'Cause I just look up whenever General Grant's was and there it comes around.
- You send them both Christmas cards.
- Yeah.
- Birthday cards.
- My birthday's the same day as Lady Bird Johnson.
So see, we both have our claims to fame.
- [Bernie] Incredible.
- Unfortunately that's about it, I'm afraid, as a claim to fame.
Let's go outside and up to a northern county for this next question.
- [Announcer] A herd of elk once again roam a 200 square mile range in the wilds of Elk and Cameron County's.
The number of elk in the herd at the January 1986 count tied the modern number, set in 1981.
How many elk are there in the Pennsylvania herd?
A, 35?
B, 135?
C, 335?
Or D, 1,335?
- Now, of course, the easy way to determine that is just to count the legs and divide by four.
Al, what do you say?
Which is the number 35, 135, 335 or 1,335.
- Now we're talking about the animal, not the organization?
- We're talking about the animal elks, a herd of elk up in Elk County, Pennsylvania.
- Okay, because it could be a higher number of the organization.
- That's right, that's right.
- I think we have quite a herd of elk in the state of Pennsylvania.
And I'm gonna go with C. - 335?
Okay, that would be quite a herd if there were 335, only topped by D of course.
Bernie?
- I was gonna go with C before Al said so.
- Were you?
- Yes, I was.
- [Lynn] Uh-huh, okay, and Deb?
- I wanna be the optimist.
I wanna believe that we have even more than 335.
- She could be right, 'cause those elk do have a way of producing small elk, which grew up to be big elk, and that's...
But I don't.
Let's see, what is the answer?
- [Announcer] The answer is B, 135.
The eastern elk became extinct in the mid-1800s.
This herd was brought to Pennsylvania from Yellowstone Park.
At the first count in 1971, there were 63 elk.
The number dropped to just 39 in 1974, but is now growing.
This year, there were four more elk in the herd than last year for a total of 135.
- Yeah, that has to be carefully managed because it's a delicate kind of thing.
And of course the elk, as we said, were extinct at one time in Pennsylvania, but it's making a little bit of a comeback.
Well, a score, let's see.
Bernie and Al are ahead with two each.
Let's hear it for both Bernie and Al.
(audience clapping) - Way to go, Bernie.
- Deb's only one behind, it's not over yet.
- All right.
- Mystery Pennsylvanian clue number one.
We'll be giving you three clues through the course of the show, as to a famous mystery mystery Pennsylvanian.
And I mentioned that you had the same birthday as General Grant, this is about a general, Al, but it's not General Grant.
- Oh, God.
- I'll give you that clue.
Though something of a scholar, he was better known as a general, famous Pennsylvania.
That's not much of a clue, but there'll be two more, as I said, so be patient.
Though something of a scholar, he was better known as a general.
Now, if you know the answer, just write it on line one, and if not, be patient, more will be coming along.
It's hard to have a Pennsylvania game without including a question about the famous Benjamin Franklin.
- [Announcer] Ben Franklin's experiments with atmospheric electricity are famous.
He also discovered which of these weather concepts?
A, air pressure?
B, classification of clouds?
C, movement of storms?
Or D, reason for rainbows?
- Yeah, look, look, look for the rainbow, isn't that...
Which one of these Bernie, we're back to you, did Ben Franklin also get credit for?
He did so much.
- He sure did.
- Yeah.
- And was well known in Europe and famous as an American scientist before anybody else, for his work with electricity of course, but which one of these others, Bernie?
- Oh, dear.
Well, classification of clouds would not be discovered, that would just be determined.
I think he might have been fooling around with refraction of light and let's give him the reason for rainbows.
- Okay, somewhere over the rainbow.
Ben Franklin flew a kite, is the way you think the song oughta go.
Deb?
- I'm not... Air pressure sounds familiar to me for some reason.
And we know that when there are storms, the air pressure changes also.
- Yeah.
- I'll try A.
- [Lynn] We're getting some disagreement on this one, Al McDowell.
- Yeah, and it's gonna get deeper.
(Debra laughs) having been a Philadelphian, he would know about storms and no rainbows.
- [Lynn] There's no rainbows over Philadelphia.
- No.
I gotta go C, with the storms.
- Movement of storms.
I wonder which way do storms move in Pennsylvania.
Do they move south?
Well, we'll find out which one's right here.
Let's look.
- [Announcer] The answer is, C, the movement of storms.
When storm clouds blocked their view of an eclipse, Franklin and his brother in Boston were able to learn storms typically move toward the northeast.
(gentle music) - Yeah.
- It's when he was writing to his brother back in Boston and his brother kept getting the weather the day after Ben had the weather and they figured out, hey, the storms must move in that direction.
So that's how that came about.
You'll like this next question.
It's about something that's not awfully well known, but ought to be better known in Pennsylvania.
It's about a famous sports hall of fame.
And there are several right here in Pennsylvania, but which one is in Foxburg.
- [Announcer] Foxburg and Clarion County has a claim to fame in the United States with a national sports hall of fame.
What sports hall of fame is in Foxburg?
A, fox hunting?
B, golf?
C, La Crosse?
Or D, croquet?
- Aha, and we want to thank Bill Peterson of guess where?
Foxburg, Pennsylvania, for suggesting this question and WPSX and "Pennsylvania Magazine" are pleased to present Bill Peterson with a year subscription to "Pennsylvania Magazine."
And if you like Pennsylvania Game, you'll like that.
So that's for the question coming in.
But we're starting with you, Deb, on this one.
- I was afraid of that.
- Yeah, famous hall of fame.
- You needed to start with me.
- [Lynn] Foxburg.
- Fox hunting seems so obvious.
- [Lynn] It seems so obvious, doesn't it?
- Yes, yes.
- [Al] Gotta watch out for those.
- Yeah.
- Sometimes, but not always.
- And I think they'd pick someplace like Ligonier or like that for golf.
- Mm-hmm.
- So croquet, why not?
- Croquet, as we used to say back home on the farm.
Allison, which one do you pick here?
- Well, I agree with Deb, the fox hunting, uh-uh.
They haven't seen a fox in Foxburg in 100 years.
- [Lynn] Uh-huh.
(audience laughing) I should know that and I don't.
- [Lynn] Uh-huh.
- I'm gonna go with B.
- [Lynn] You're going with golf?
- Yeah.
- [Lynn] Okay, there's a- - I don't know why I'm going with golf.
- Okay, let's see if... - Just to differ with Deb, I would go for lacrosse, but I don't believe lacrosse is an American game.
So I have to go with croquet.
- You're going with croquet too.
I thought, somebody told me that lacrosse was an American Indian sport that we- - Oh, gosh.
- And therefore... No, you can't change.
- [Announcer] The answer is B, golf.
The Foxburg Country Club is the oldest golf course in continuous use in the United States.
Opened as a five-hole course in 1887, the course was expanded to a nine-hole course the next year.
The course, open to the public, has been in use ever since.
The Golf Hall of Fame Museum is there with exhibits depicting the 400-year history of golf.
Many famous golfers are enshrined in the American Golf Hall of Fame in Foxburg, Pennsylvania.
- Now, you got that one right, Al, and I heard you say, you really didn't know that it was a guess.
And with your Scottish background, I would've presumed you'd know that.
- Yeah, but if you knew how I played golf, you wouldn't understand- - That's true.
- why I'd pick golf.
- But they do have some neat stuff there from the beginning of golf.
And the score.
Well, Al has taken a commanding lead with four right.
Let's hear it for Al McDowell.
(audience clapping) It's okay, he gets too many right, Bernie, we'll never ask him back.
Here's clue number two for our mystery Pennsylvanian.
He was the nation's number one general twice during its greatest crisis.
He was the nation's number one general twice during its greatest crisis.
Clue number one you remember was, though something of a scholar, better known as a general.
And write that down online too if you know the answer.
If you have a suggestion for a mystery Pennsylvanian, or for a question from your area, we'd love to use it, love to hear from you.
Just write to Pennsylvania Game, Wagner Annex, University Park, 16802.
And of course, if you do, we use your question on the air, we'll be glad to give you a WPSX and "Pennsylvania Magazine," a year's free subscription to the "Pennsylvania Magazine."
Well, now let's move ahead here to something that all three of these panelists may know a little bit more about.
Let's watch.
- [Announcer] The beer that was named the nation's best in a national competition in 1985 is brewed in Pennsylvania.
Was that beer, A, Schmidts Beer?
B, Rolling Rock?
C, Valley Forge Beer?
Or D, Samuel Adams?
- Okay, the beer that was voted the nation's best beer in a national competition in 1985 is brewed in Pennsylvania.
And Al McDowell, you're first on this one.
Which of those won that award.
- I wasn't involved in the testing of the competition.
(Lynn laughing) I'm gonna pick B.
- [Lynn] Rolling Rock?
Okay.
Put your B up there if you will so you can't change your mind later on.
And we'll go down to Bernie here.
Schmidts, Rolling Rock, Valley Forge or Sam Adams.
- I am an honorable man.
I didn't know if you knew that.
- No, I didn't, I had no idea.
- But I think- - That's not up there.
It's either A, B, C, or D. - I think I am going to abstain from this one for the first time in the history of "The Pennsylvania Game" - Is that- - And later you can tell why.
- [Lynn] Okay, Deb, we have an abstention here.
- Can you whisper after you have abstained.
- [Bernie] (laughing) No, no.
- [Lynn] She's not an honorable woman is what you know?
Which of these do you pick?
- Well, I'll go for the other beer that I really recognize and say Schmidts.
- [Audience Member] No.
- No?
(audience laughing) - [Lynn] It's not Schmidts and it's not Rolling Rock, is that what you're saying, Girl Scouts?
- [Audience Member] No, we think it's Rolling Rock.
- You think it's Rolling Rock?
'Cause that is a very famous... Well, what do you think it is, huh?
- [Announcer] The answer is D, Samuel Adams.
James Koch of Boston Beer Company sells Samuel Adams beer in New England, but it's brewed under contract by the Pittsburgh Brewing Company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
- Sold, and we happen to have an empty bottle here.
I don't know who emptied it, but we happen to have an empty bottle here.
It is sold only up in the Boston area, but it's brewed by the Pittsburgh Brewing Company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
And the reason Bernie abstained is that he saw this bottle earlier and that's what tipped him off.
- And I was about making an accusation against you or Al, either one, or for that matter... - That we had emptied this thing?
- Yeah.
- No.
- I think Bernie should get some points for being honest about that whole- - I'll give him the empty beer bottle.
That will be his award.
Let's go to a Pennsylvania product for our next question.
And about one that's been around for a long time.
- [Announcer] The longest production run of any single model of an automotive vehicle in America belongs to, A, Bulldog Mack Truck?
B, Model T Ford?
C, Packard Clipper?
Or D, Plymouth Model PA?
- Okay, who do we start with this time?
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, I guess we're back to you, Bernie.
And I gotta tell you something about the Packard Clipper.
They have a Packard Clipper in the museum at the William Penn building in Harrisburg.
Exactly like a model that I double dated in when I was in high school.
And that certainly does not belong in a museum.
And I want 'em to get it out of there.
Which of these has the longest production run of any single model of an automotive vehicle in America?
It's a Pennsylvanian- - By longest production run, I presume you mean the number of years, not the number copies.
- That's right, that's right.
Number of years of this same model.
- When I was a tiny little boy.
- Yes?
- I used to see those Mack Trucks.
I thought it was the only kind of... Mack Truck was one word.
And it just kept on looking the same, the same, the same, the same for an awfully long time until somewhere they disappeared recently.
I'll say the Mack Truck.
- [Lynn] Okay, alrighty.
- Well, gee, not that I wanna disagree, but if they were around when Bernie was seeing them as a little boy and I saw them when I was a little girl.
- That's about 50 years right there, right?
Al, what do you think?
- I don't wanna get involved in that conversation.
- [Lynn] By the way, D is not a made up name.
There is a Plymouth model, Pennsylvania it was called.
Pennsylvanian model of the Plymouth, so- - I'm gonna go with the- - [Lynn] I'm not trying to influence you.
I'm just trying to say there's not a- - Didn't Henry Ford say that you can have any color car you want providing it's black.
- [Lynn] Provided it's black, you can have any color you want, indeed.
- Model T just seems to me has been around for a thousand years, I'm gonna go with B.
- Model T was around and was produced for a lot of years.
Question is, was it the mostest number of years?
Let's see.
- [Announcer] The answer is A, Bulldog Mac Truck.
The Bulldog, with its blunt nose, was produced for 24 years after its introduction in 1914.
The Mack Truck Company in Allentown, truck capital of the world, has deep Pennsylvania roots.
The sturdy graceful beauties that haul the nation's goods come from the company built by the five Mack brothers.
Their grandparents came from Germany to settle on the Lackawanna County farm in 1853.
Their father fought with the Pennsylvania Militia in the civil war.
Mac Trucks take their symbol from that famous truck of World War I, the Bulldog, and built like a Mack Truck is part of the American idiom.
- It really is, and they really were a around for a long time.
And they've been built in Pennsylvania for all that time.
And people don't recognize, I think, that the Mack Truck is a Pennsylvania native, okay?
- [Al] I didn't, obviously.
- You know, Lynn, besides being honest, I'm also very kind.
- Are you?
- And therefore I want to say to Debbie, I don't look that old, you don't look that young.
(all laughing) - Woo, woo, woo, woo.
- We'll go back even earlier before either of these was around, safely for our next question, all right?
Here it is.
- [Announcer] The Military Museum in Centre County has many reminders of Pennsylvania's role in America's defense.
The state's first Militia called the Associators was organized in 1747. Who organized it?
A, William Penn?
B, Hannah Penn?
C, Anthony Wayne?
Or D, Ben Franklin?
- Now, of course, Anthony Wayne is no relation to John Wayne.
Deb, you knew that.
- Yes, I knew that, yes - That Anthony Wayne was a guy that was a famous military leader, of course.
And I'm not sure what he was mad about, but which of these William Penn, Hannah Penn, Anthony Wayne or Ben Franklin, what do you pick, Deb?
- Well, Anthony Wayne jumps out at me, but I'm not sure why, but I will- - Of course, Hannah Penn would be an unlikely choice too, as a woman, - That's true.
but she was governor of Pennsylvania for a while after William was.
Okay, you're gonna go with C. - We'll try Anthony.
- [Lynn] Anthony Wayne.
Al?
- Yeah, so am I and I'm not quite sure why.
Uh-oh, C. - [Audience] No.
- [Lynn] Okay, it's okay.
- Listen to the audience.
You can't advise a panel.
- They can.
You don't have to listen.
- They've been advising the panel all along.
- [Lynn] Bernie, what do you think?
- You said Hannah Penn was governor of Pennsylvania?
- [Lynn] Well, after William Penn died, for a while, Hannah was governor, sure.
- God, that makes Hannah tempting, but you wouldn't have said that if you-[ - [Lynn] That's what Bill said when he met her.
- And Ben Franklin can't have done everything.
- [Lynn] She was about 20 years younger.
- So let's all cancel ourselves out, and I'll say Anthony Wayne.
- Hannah was about 20 years or so, I think younger than William when he met her.
And he said Hannah was tempting too, is what he said, but that's not the right answer.
- [Announcer] The answer is D, Ben Franklin.
Franklin also organized a public lottery to pay for the Militia.
The lottery was so successful, they held another one a year later in 1748.
(bright military music) - Now I'm a little bit ashamed of Bernie 'cause I've told you Bernie before, that anytime there's a question about Pennsylvania and one of the choices is Ben Franklin, you're gonna be right more than wrong.
He did so much.
I mean, he just was into everything you know?
We're doing okay though.
Al has the lead still with four, Bernie and Deb close behind, but Al's ahead.
Allison McDowell, let's hear a round of applause for that.
(audience clapping) (Al speaking indistinctly) - Now I want you to get this last clue.
He ran for president against the president who had relieved him of command.
That's the last clue.
First clue, though something of a scholar, better known as a general, the nation's number one general twice during its greatest crisis, and he ran for president against the president who had relieved him of command.
And I can add that he didn't win.
Al is writing on that last clue.
What are you writing, Al?
Tell us.
We need an answer.
- Did you say he was a native?
- [Lynn] Yeah, of Pennsylvania, sure.
- I'm not sure about this.
- Well, try it.
- I'm putting down Douglas MacArthur.
- [Lynn] Douglas MacArthur.
Deb, what have you put down?
You've just finished writing too.
- I'm putting down very bluntly.
- [Lynn and Deb] I don't know.
- [Lynn] Harry I don't know, happens to be wrong.
You put?
- Well, for number two, I put down Grant, but he did get elected president and I'm persuaded by the answer Douglas MacArthur.
- Where's Grant from, Al, do you know?
- [Al] Grant was Illinois, I believe.
- Ohio, I think.
- Ohio.
- None of them are right.
- [Announcer] General George B. McClellan was born in Philadelphia in 1826.
A son of Scottish parents, McClellan was short and powerfully built with bright red hair and mustache.
He graduated second in his West Point class, was scholarly and knew several languages.
Lincoln, twice relieved McClellan of command.
But few generals have been better liked by their soldiers.
He ran for president against Lincoln in 1864.
General George B. McClellan, a famous Pennsylvanian.
- And the thing nobody realizes that he ran for president against Lincoln and lost.
we're a little late, see you next time.
Thanks for being here.
