[music playing] ANNOUNCER 1: The Pennsylvania Game is made possible in part by-- ANNOUNCER 2: By A grant from the Pennsylvania Public Television Network.

The network receives funding from the Commonwealth to provide public television for all Pennsylvanians.

ANNOUNCER 1: Now, let's get the game started.

Here's the host of The Pennsylvania Game, Scott Bruce.

Thank you, studio audience so much.

Thank you for you tuning in at home, you viewers at home.

We love you.

And thank you to our panelists who are here.

And let's find out who they are, so we can play the game.

Starting off is our first guest, he's back, that's right, seasoned Pennsylvania Game panelist and veteran TV and radio producer.

Among other projects, he's co-host of Oncue, produced by WQED in Pittsburgh.

Please give a warm welcome to Chris Moore.

[applause] [indistinct] Moving right down the line, we've got Kathy O'Connell.

Kathy is child in chief or CEO of Philadelphia's Kids Corner, a children's radio program heard weeknights on WCBN-FM.

As a contestant on Jeopardy, she mistakenly identified Missouri and not Illinois as the most populous state on the Mississippi and won just $420.

Someone should tell her that on our show, that's big winnings.

Please say, hello to Kathy O'Connell.

[applause] And the excitement continues.

Panelist number three, he's been developing, producing, and directing film and television projects since 1960.

Along with his original business partner, film director George Romero, he's acknowledged as one of the co-founders of the modern day film business in Pittsburgh.

In 1968, he produced and Romero directed the horror film classic Night of The Living Dead.

Please give a warm welcome to Russ Streiner.

[applause] ANNOUNCER 1: What an eclectic group we have today, kids and living dead and Oncue.

Let's start the game.

I have a question.

Formerly known as Declaration Day, Memorial Day which became a federal holiday in 1971 originally commemorated soldiers killed in which war?

A, World War I. B, the War of 1812.

C, the Revolutionary War.

Or D, the Civil War?

SCOTT BRUCE: Memorial Day, panelists, was that World War I, 1812, Revolutionary, or Civil?

Could a war actually be civil?

I don't think so.

We'll go down to Chris first.

I picked D, Civil War and I have no idea why.

No idea why.

It's a good enough answer for me.

It was a civil answer.

I like that.

CHRIS MOORE: That's what made that war so civil.

There you go.

Chris made it civil.

Kathy, what do you think?

I picked D. And since I may be heard in the South, someday I prefer to call it the war of northern aggression.

Ahh.

Covering all bases.

A little Southern action over there.

I like the way you cover yourself.

Russ, what do you think?

I picked World War I. SCOTT BRUCE: World War I. And for no reason whatsoever.

For no reason whatsoever, except I think it's right.

And I'm going for some big-- some big, big prizes.

SCOTT BRUCE: He wants the big prizes.

Ladies and gentlemen, does he get them?

Let's find out.

ANNOUNCER 2: The answer is D. Memorial Day originally commemorated soldiers killed in the Civil War, but the holiday was later extended to include all war dead.

The custom of decorating the graves of those who died in war began in Boalsburg, Pennsylvania, in October 1864.

Three local ladies, Emma Hunter, Sophie Keller and Mrs.

Elizabeth Myers, walked to the local cemetery and decorated the graves of two family members who had given their lives in defense of their country.

The women agreed to return the next year to place flowers at all soldiers' graves.

Although the US government proclaimed Waterloo, New York as the official birthplace of the holiday.

That town didn't begin honoring its Civil War dead until 1866.

Meanwhile, the town of Boalsburg marked Memorial Day 2000 with the dedication of a life size bronze monument in honor of the three ladies who started the tradition.

[applause] That is what the Pennsylvania Game is about.

You learn stuff.

It's fun.

Let's learn some more.

ANNOUNCER 1: In 1871, David Stauffer started a business in York, Pennsylvania.

What is his company best known for today?

A, it's the leading maker of frozen entrees.

B, it's the world's biggest heirloom seed company.

C, it's the oldest international hotel chain.

Or D, it's the world's largest producer of animal crackers.

SCOTT BRUCE: What have we got here?

Again, an eclectic gathering of question answers.

Is it frozen entrees, heirloom seeds, the international hotel chain, or animal crackers in my soup?

What do we think.

We'll go to Kathy first.

Well, I wish his real last name were Motel Six, but I'm saying international hotel chain.

And I'm sure I'm wrong.

That's a good attitude on our show.

We like that attitude.

Russ, what do you think?

I think it's a B, and then he went on to make a movie with the Marx brothers.

Duck soup, I believe.

Oh, wrong one.

And Chris.

I think it's B because something must be growing in York.

SCOTT BRUCE: Something must be growing in York.

So we have a B, a C, and a B, and nobody hummed along the song animal crackers.

Let's find out.

ANNOUNCER 1: The answer is D. In 1871, David Stauffer started baking cakes and crackers, which he delivered door to door in a wheelbarrow to his York, Pennsylvania customers.

The company's daily output, considered huge at the time, was five barrels or 750 pounds of crackers a day.

Around the turn of the century, the DF Stauffer Biscuit Company started producing its famous animal crackers and has since become the largest producer of animal crackers in the world.

Today, thanks to modern oven lines in three locations, the main facility in York, a plant in Blandon, Pennsylvania, and another in Cuba, New York, the company produces more than a half million pounds of animal crackers, cookies and snack crackers each day.

[applause] I only wish you people at home could have had the opportunity to see our front row with a young man named Drew who is sitting right up front watching the monitor and watching crackers like there's no tomorrow.

I think he was salivating.

I do believe he was.

Let's get to know our panelists just a little bit better right now.

We'll move over here to Chris.

Now, Chris, I have not had the opportunity to see Oncue.

I do not know anything about it.

So I would like it if you would tell us more about your show.

It's a nightly magazine show in Pittsburgh, and we give a little more treatment to some of the stories that we have, in depth interviews.

It's a good show that covers local events.

Excellent.

Well, we'll all be tuning in for it.

Watch for it on QED.

OK.

[applause] Kathy, you were born to play.

There's no question about that.

So you really came in second on Jeopardy?

Yes, I did.

I won $420.

And I would like to take this opportunity to declare victory right now for the Pennsylvania Game.

Just-- She just taking a Joe Namath on us.

We're number one.

Yeah.

I'll have you know that I took the test to get on Jeopardy and I flunked.

And I thought I was doing pretty good too.

I came close.

Russ, we'll go down to you.

Yes, Kathy O'Connell.

Now, I understand here that Night of The Living Dead was elected to the horror movie Hall of Fame.

Is that-- That's right.

Along with Psycho and a few other very, very prominent horror films.

Very, very impressive.

Now, did you have any idea when you were making it that it was going to become such a classic?

None whatsoever.

We just tried to make the scariest movie that we could on the small budget that we had, and it obviously succeeded.

Russ Streiner.

[applause] All right.

Let's jump right back into the game and see if these guys can get some more points.

ANNOUNCER 1: Every June since 1892, the Zion Lutheran Church of Mannheim celebrates the Festival of The Red Rose.

The festival is held in honor of what?

A, the Red Rose Tea Company, which was founded in Mannheim.

B, the founder of Mannheim, who donated land to build the church and asked that one red rose be paid every year as rent.

C, Lancaster County soldiers who shed their blood in the Civil War, or D, poet Robert Burns, who wrote A Red, Red Rose while visiting Mannheim.

SCOTT BRUCE: This is a great question.

All of these answers sound very plausible to me.

I don't think if you're-- if you're not from Mannheim, I think it's going to be a guess.

But is it going to be the Red Rose Tea Company, the donated rose every year, the soldiers who shed their blood, or the poem The Red, Red Rose?

We will go down to Russ first on this one.

I answered C. I think it is in commemoration of the Civil War soldiers who lost their lives from Lancaster.

I think that's an excellent guess.

Chris.

Well, I'm from the South and down there, we call that the war of Northern liberation.

[laughter] So I didn't think there was a Civil War theme, so I just went for D, the poet Robert Burns.

So a little poetry in your veins.

I like that.

CHRIS MOORE: I was feeling poetic.

Poetic justice.

Kathy.

A wed woes, how womantic.

I just was thirsty.

So I said the Wed Word Woes Tea Company.

SCOTT BRUCE: The Red Rose Tea Company.

Let me see if I got this right.

We've got a D an A, and a C and nobody picked B, and guess what?

ANNOUNCER 1: The answer is B. Henry Steagall founded Mannheim as a company town in 1762.

He opened America's first glass making factory in 1762, built a mansion in the middle of the town and a castle in nearby Schaefferstown.

As his fortune grew, he built schools and gave land for a church, requesting payment of only five shillings.

And in the month of June, yearly thereafter, the rent of one red rose.

In 1774, due to financial problems, Steagall lost all of his property and was thrown in debtor's prison.

Thereafter, Steagall earned a meager living as a teacher in local Lutheran churches until his death in 1785.

In 1892, after a lapse of 120 years, Zion Lutheran Church in Mannheim resumed its rental obligation.

On the second Sunday of every June, a red rose is paid to a descendant of Henry William Stiegel.

[applause] And that means it's time to take a look at our tote board.

Let's see how the scores are shaping up.

We've got Chris with one point, Kathy with one point, and Russ has scared all his points away.

He's just at a zero.

But bound to come soon.

Grab your pens.

It's time for the first clue in the Mystery Pennsylvanian.

Here it comes.

Born in Pittsburgh in 1934, he was a Republican primary candidate for president in the year 2000.

Born in Pittsburgh in 1934, he was a Republican primary candidate for president in the year 2000.

You want to write your answer down on that top line number one.

If you get it right all the way through, you'll get three points and two on the second line and one if you get it right on the third.

So write down your answers.

Everybody's writing something, so they know something.

I don't know what they know.

I know it's time for me to go to a new question.

ANNOUNCER 1: Marcia Kaplan, the first woman to appear in a hard news television show in Central Pennsylvania, is best known for something she did in the 1960s.

Was Kaplan, A, the leading crusader on the health risks associated with cigarette smoking, B, first to report that the national debt had exceeded $300 billion for the first time in history, C, the only Pennsylvania reporter to cover the Beatles during their first US tour, Or D, host of Romper Room?

SCOTT BRUCE: Fun question.

Marcia Kaplan.

Was she the first?

Did she crusade against cigarette smoking?

Was she the first report the national debt had exceeded $300-- $300 billion?

$300.

Ha ha.

Or was she the only reporter to cover the Beatles?

Or was she the host of Romper Room?

We'll go to Chris first.

Because I have a child star next to me, I pick D, the host of Romper Room.

Romper Room.

You're getting the feel for our game here.

After a couple of years, you're starting to get the idea.

What do you think?

There's a curve ball in there somewhere.

I don't know.

Kathy, you were a host of a kids show.

Yeah.

But as a child of the 60s, I'm legally bound to vote Beatles whenever possible.

So I said the Beatles.

I understand perfectly.

It's a hard day's night right here.

Russ, what do you think?

I think it was the Beatles also.

And I know as a matter of fact Marcia Kaplan knew every lyric to every Beatles song ever written.

SCOTT BRUCE: A man who knows something.

Let's see if knowledge helps us here on The Pennsylvania Game.

ANNOUNCER 1: The answer is D, host of Romper Room.

Marcia Kaplan, the first woman to appear on a hard news television show in Central Pennsylvania, was most recognized as Miss Marcia on the 1960s children's show Romper Room, produced by WTPA in Harrisburg.

For eight years, Kaplan entertained youngsters in the studio audience with the help of Do Be and Don't Be and talked with children watching from home by pretending to view them through a magic mirror.

After Romper Room, Kaplan hosted Take Five, a Harrisburg news program which featured interviews with the day's national newsmakers.

Kaplan, who won several awards for news and public service during a 15 year broadcast journalism career, died in Philadelphia in May 2000.

She was in her late 60s.

[applause] As an aside to me, Chris said, I love that show.

So I think that deserves a Pennsylvania lottery ticket.

That was a funny answer.

And we'll move along with a new question right now.

ANNOUNCER 1: A bronze statue stands in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, in honor of Mary Ludwig Hays.

Molly, as she was called, is renowned in history as Molly Pitcher.

Was Molly pitcher, A, America's first suffragist and reformer, B, operator of the first US hotel, C, the heroine of the Battle of Monmouth, or D, the botanist who discovered the Pitcher Plant, which uses pitcher like organs to attract and trap insects?

SCOTT BRUCE: Molly Pitcher, suffragist, US hotel, Battle of Monmouth, or did she trap some insects?

We'll find out from Kathy right now.

Shoot, if you must, this old gray head, but save your country's flag, I think she said.

Heroine of the Battle of Monmouth.

I love that answer.

Russ?

Wait for the poetry for Kathy.

There you go.

Russ.

It had to be the Battle of Monmouth.

She was an absolute heroine.

Absolute heroine.

We've got two to believe.

I can believe that she was a heroine too.

But something about the whites of their eyes.

I don't know.

SCOTT BRUCE: Whites of their eyes.

Bunker Hill and Monmouth, they all come up with Cs.

Is that a C for him?

Yes.

Pass them down.

Lottery tickets for everybody.

Let's find out the right answer right now.

ANNOUNCER 1: The answer is C, the heroine of the Battle of Monmouth.

Mary Ludwig, who worked as a domestic servant in Carlisle, married John Hays shortly before the revolution.

When war broke out, John enlisted in the artillery, and Molly, as she was called, soon joined him in the field.

She nursed the sick and wounded and carried pitchers of water to the exhausted and thirsty men, earning her nickname Molly Pitcher.

When her husband was wounded, she took over his position and became the second woman to fire a gun on an American Battlefield.

General Washington personally thanked her for her bravery.

In 1822, the Commonwealth awarded her an annual pension of $40 for her wartime services.

She died in Carlisle in 1832.

And 84 years later, a monument was erected in her honor.

[applause] Time to take a look at the scoreboard.

And I see that we have a countdown.

Chris has three, Kathy has two, Russ has one.

He's up off his goose egg.

Let's hear it.

Nicely done.

And that means it's time for your second clue in the Mystery Pennsylvania and here it comes.

After receiving his law degree from the University of Pittsburgh Law School, he practiced law first in Pennsylvania, then in Utah.

After receiving his law degree from the University of Pittsburgh Law School, he practiced law first in Pennsylvania, then in Utah.

Born in Pittsburgh, 1934.

Republican primary candidate for president in the year 2000.

Everybody's got an answer.

We can move on with the game.

Let's have a new question.

ANNOUNCER 1: In 1737, Benjamin Franklin published a list of 228 synonyms for a human activity.

The thesaurus of slang lists 399 entries, one of the most for any term.

Is the activity, A, overeating, B, getting drunk, C, making love, or D, earning money?

SCOTT BRUCE: Where do you think Ben Franklin might have gone with this kids?

Did he come up with a lot of ways to say overeating, getting drunk, making love, or earning money?

Russ, we'll go down to you first.

It has to be making love.

He spent so much time, so much time in Europe.

He learned a lot of it.

I like your thinking, Russ.

Chris?

I wish I could change my answer because Chris makes more sense, but I think they did a lot of drinking in that time too.

SCOTT BRUCE: So you're going to go with getting drunk.

Yeah.

So we're getting drunk and we're making love.

Kathy?

CHRIS MOORE: They go together.

As a child of the 60s, I am forced to vote for making love whenever possible.

[laughter] OK.

[applause] Let's see if our contestants can get drunk and make love.

ANNOUNCER 1: The answer is B, getting drunk.

"Nothing more like a fool than a drunken man," wrote Benjamin Franklin.

In 1737, Franklin published in the Pennsylvania Gazette a list of euphemisms to describe drunkenness.

The list was gathered, quote, "wholly from the modern tavern conversations of tipplers."

Franklin, a great observer of human behavior, noted that people had a natural tendency to conceal their vices not only from themselves but also from others.

Therefore, the term mellow was substituted for the word drunk.

The list of words and phrases was constantly growing, Franklin claimed, as familiar terms were replaced with terms that were less well understood.

Among the 228 entries were terms such as stitched, cockeyed, moon-eyed, fuzzled, pungey, oiled, and stewed.

[applause] Yeah.

[overlapping speech] And we recommend that state for most of our panelists.

I think Kathy was a little fuzzled before the show, and that means we can move on.

Let's have a new question.

ANNOUNCER 1: Jean King formed a nonprofit organization in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, that trains dogs to perform duties that serve humans.

What are these dogs trained for?

A, to assist the blind.

B, as service dogs for individuals with mobility impairments.

C, as search and rescue dogs used to find victims of natural disasters.

Or D, to locate and sniff out explosive devices for law enforcement.

SCOTT BRUCE: OK.

What do Jean Kings' dogs do?

Do they assist the blind?

Do they service individuals with mobility impairments, search and rescue, or do they sniff out our keyboard player and explosive devices?

We'll go to Chris first.

She looked like a person who would really be in service to individuals.

So I picked B for mobility impairment.

OK.

You vote B with mobility.

These things just are things you feel.

Sniffing explosives, rescue dogs, blind.

I think that already been done.

She's helping people with mobility.

All right.

I'm with you, chris.

Do you think you can sniff it out, Kath.

I chose getting drunk, Scott.

I told you she was fuzzled.

But lacking that, to assist the blind.

SCOTT BRUCE: To assist the blind.

The obvious choice with the dogs.

Yeah, exactly.

Russ.

Well, I went with D. She looked like a lady who could sniff out dogs, some explosives.

You wouldn't want to-- you wouldn't want to mess with her.

How many people want to bet that's going to be in the next movie?

Let's find out the answer.

ANNOUNCER 1: The answer is B, service dogs for mobility impaired individuals.

Independence Dogs Incorporated was founded in 1984 by Jean King, who at age 39, contracted spinal TB and was confined to a wheelchair.

After years of depending on others, Jean trained her own dog to help her in much the same way seeing eye dogs assist blind persons.

Wanting to share this joy of independence, she started her own service dog school.

Service dogs retrieve dropped articles, turn light switches on and off, open doors, pick up and bring a telephone receiver, assist their partners in traversing stairs and curbs.

They carry packages in their backpacks and perform high counter transactions such as in banks.

After extensive training, each dog is carefully matched with its human partner and is then custom trained to suit that person's physical needs and lifestyle.

IDI is the only service dog school recommended by the Seeing Eye Organization.

[applause] SCOTT BRUCE: I got to get me one of those.

That means it's time for our third clue in the Mystery Pennsylvanian.

Get your pens ready.

A US Senator since 1976.

He also writes lyrics to Christian hymns.

His first recorded collection, My God is Love, came out on CD in 1997.

US senators since 76.

He writes Christian lyrics.

His first recorded collection, My God is Love, came out on CD in '97.

Born in Pittsburgh, 1934, Republican primary candidate.

And after receiving his law degree from the University of Pittsburgh Law School, he practiced law in Pennsylvania, then Utah.

These guys are done.

These guys know something.

We're going to have to find out right now, won't we?

Let's go over to Kathy.

Kathy, you want to stick that right in the little slot in front there, if you could, please.

And let's see what you've got.

You've got John McCain.

Good choice.

John McCain still and John McCain already.

I think you're going with John McCain.

I may be wrong, but I'm persistent.

Well, it worked for you on Jeopardy.

Let's see if it works here.

Russ, what do you have?

And here, we've got Alan, Orrin Hatch and Orrin Hatch.

So Orrin Hatch is your final answer [indistinct].. And let's go to Chris.

Chris has Orrin Hatch, Orrin Hatch, Orrin Hatch.

And that looks like they-- the two of these people, I think, might know something.

I'm guessing.

They probably know that John McCain is from Arizona.

Let's find out.

ANNOUNCER 1: Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah was born in 1934 in a Pittsburgh suburb.

Although he grew up poor, Hatch played several instruments and attended every concert of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra from age 12 until he left for college in Utah.

A graduate of Brigham Young, he earned his law degree from the University of Pittsburgh Law School in 1962.

Hatch practiced law first in Pennsylvania, then in Utah.

A conservative Republican, he became a US Senator from Utah in 1976 and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1995, overseeing nominations by the president to the federal judiciary, including justices to the US Supreme Court.

Hatch was briefly a Republican candidate for president in the 2000 primary elections.

A devout Mormon, Senator Hatch also writes lyrics to religious and patriotic songs, having produced seven CDs.

Orrin Hatch, a famous Pennsylvanian.

There you have it.

That gives us a chance to take a look at our scoreboard.

Kathy, a respectable two points.

Russ, a very respectable three points.

But Chris is a monster with eight points.

Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo woo.

Wendy, let him know what he won.

ANNOUNCER 1: OK, Scott, here's a toast to today's winner, a gift basket of wine from Oak Spring Winery, Altoona, and fine chocolates from Gardners Candies of Tyrone, home of the original peanut butter melt away, plus 50 chances to win $1,000 a week for life from the Pennsylvania lottery.

Baskets and tickets and everything you could want.

What a fabulous panel we had.

What a great show.

Thanks so much to my studio audience.

Thank you for tuning in at home.

And please keep watching The Pennsylvania Game.

We'll see you next time.
