[theme music] ANNOUNCER: Now let's get the game started.
Here's the host of The Pennsylvania Game, Scott Bruce.
Yay, studio audience.
Yay.
Love you, people.
Thanks.
Thanks for being here.
Thanks for tuning in at home.
Thanks to everybody for joining us for another exciting round of The Pennsylvania Game.
I'm so excited.
I can't wait.
Let's meet our panelists for today, shall we?
Right there he is in the first seat, Rob Neyhard.
He's a 32-year radio veteran heard each morning on WARM in Scranton-Wilkes-Barre, I listen to myself.
He also does the play-by-play for high school football and basketball for which he's won several AP Awards.
Say hello to Rob Neyhard.
[applause] Thank you.
SCOTT BRUCE: Sitting in the middle tonight, it's Leslie Staab.
She's an executive assistant to the chief of police and recording secretary for Lower Providence Township in Montgomery County.
She also has her own videography business specializing in weddings and special occasion videography.
Let's have a warm welcome for Leslie Staab.
[applause] I'm going to make my tongue work eventually today.
I don't know when it's going to happen.
Now who do we have now?
Down here in the third seat, in addition to knowing a fair amount about Penn State's Nittany Lion, the fact is he coauthored a book about it.
He's also head of Education and Behavioral Sciences Library at Penn State and director of Pennsylvania's Center for the Book.
Say hello to Steven Herb.
[applause] You guys at home didn't get a chance to see it, but we're having fun in the studio.
And I'm sure it's going to get better.
Let's see what happens now.
ANNOUNCER: In 1931, in Bradford, Pennsylvania, William T. Piper introduced the Piper Cub, the world's first affordable light airplane.
Which of the following is not true about this aviation pioneer, A, four out of every five World War II pilots trained on the Cub; B, Piper wanted airplanes to be as common as automobiles and even sold his planes through department stores; C, Piper produced more aircraft during his lifetime than any other manufacturer; or D, Piper used a green color scheme for all of his planes?
SCOTT BRUCE: Remember, panelists and those of you playing at home, this is a not true.
Which is not true?
Three of them are true.
Is it four out of every five W W II pilots trained on the Cub; Piper wanted the airplanes to be as common as automobiles; they produced more aircraft during his lifetime than any other manufacturer; or Piper used a green color scheme?
Which of these do you think it might be?
We'll go to Rob Neyhard first.
I pick D. SCOTT BRUCE: You went with D. Have you ever seen a green airplane?
SCOTT BRUCE: I don't believe I ever have.
ROB NEYHARD: Neither do I, and I don't think Piper did either.
SCOTT BRUCE: I like your logic.
Could work on our show.
It hasn't in the past, but it might today.
[chuckles] We'll find out.
Leslie.
I also chose D because I don't believe I've ever seen a green airplane either.
SCOTT BRUCE: Two people who haven't seen green airplanes.
Can we make it a clean sweep?
Steve.
I did it because they did it.
SCOTT BRUCE: You did it because they did it.
What does that mean?
That means lottery tickets.
Pass.
Take one and pass one down.
They each get a chance to win $1,000 A Week From Life.
And let's see if we can make them just green with envy.
ANNOUNCER: The answer is D. Piper used a yellow, not green color scheme, for all of his planes to encourage brand recognition.
Piper dreamed that airplanes would be as common as automobiles, became known as the Henry Ford of aviation.
In 1931, he bought an ailing airplane manufacturing company in Bradford and produced the world's first light plane, the Piper Cub.
In 1937, fire destroyed the original Bradford plant, and the company moved to an old silk mill in Lock Haven.
Economical and easy to fly, Piper planes were even sold through department stores.
During World War II, Piper supplied the military with 7,000 planes.
The maneuverable Cubs were used for artillery observations and served as training craft for most World War II pilots.
When he died in 1970, Piper had produced more light aircraft than any other manufacturer.
Yeah.
Yeah.
ROB NEYHARD: Definitely.
That's good to know.
You learn so much on this show.
Here's some more information.
Piper employees could fly for the cost of oil and gas, and all customers were given free training with each purchase.
What a deal that is.
I learned so much.
Let's learn some more.
ANNOUNCER: Navigating the streets and byways in and around Pittsburgh can be tricky, especially for first-time visitors.
What did Joseph White develop in the 1940s that made navigation a little easier, A, the color-coded belt route system; B, road reflectors; C, the dashboard compass; or D, the first triple-A service in the US?
Right there.
Joseph White in Pittsburgh.
What'd he do to make life a little bit easier?
Was it the color-coded belt route system, road reflectors, the dashboard compass, or the first triple-A service in the US?
We'll move over to Leslie first.
Leslie, what do you think?
Having lived here for about 25 years, I'm going to say A because-- SCOTT BRUCE: The color-coded routes.
Sounds-- SCOTT BRUCE: You're a Pittsburgher, all right.
I can tell because you're wearing Steeler colors over there on Super Sunday over here All right.
What do we got down on the end with Steve?
Although I've wondered all my life about that color-coded belt system, I wasn't brave enough to pick it, so I took B. SCOTT BRUCE: Just couldn't bring yourself to do it.
No, I couldn't do it.
Well, we'll see if we can get over those phobias later.
We'll work them out.
Rob.
I went with D. I've only been to Pittsburgh twice.
SCOTT BRUCE: OK.
So you just went with triple-A which you know is everywhere.
Sure.
SCOTT BRUCE: OK.
Well, for a man who doesn't know Pittsburgh, let's find out if he knows anything about us.
ANNOUNCER: The answer is A, the color-coded belt route system.
Traffic engineer Joseph White is credited with making it possible, at least in theory, for newcomers to get from one side of Pittsburgh to the other without getting lost.
White came up with the idea for the color-coded belt system implemented in 1950.
Driving Pittsburgh's twisting hilly and haphazard roadways challenged visitors who are accustomed to streets designed in the usual tidy grid system.
In Pittsburgh, if you miss a turn, you may end up far from your intended destination.
The belts are a series of color-coded loops ordered like the rainbow that linked the towns and back roads surrounding Pittsburgh.
The outermost belt is red followed by orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, which winds through downtown Pittsburgh.
SCOTT BRUCE: Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
ROB NEYHARD: It's OK unless you're color-blind.
Yeah.
It's tough if you're color-blind.
That's true.
It's a tough town.
I remember the first time I was in Pittsburgh I was about a block from where I wanted to go.
I could see where I wanted to go, and I never got to where I wanted to go.
But some say that following the color-coded belt system is like playing a surreal live version of Candy Land.
I'll tell you what, it's time to get to know our panel a little bit better.
Let's run over here to Rob, Rob from up in my neck of the woods.
Yes.
How about that?
It says here that you live in Forty Fort.
Forty Fort Best town names in America right up there, aren't they?
It is.
44.
SCOTT BRUCE: Shickshinny, all those.
Mocanaqua.
Mocanaqua.
Also another one.
Now I've got here that you have a wife and six kids.
That's right.
SCOTT BRUCE: Now you announce sports events.
It sounds to me like you get your own basketball team.
Well, I just about do have one, [chuckles] three of each.
SCOTT BRUCE: Three of each.
Very nice.
Well, good, good.
Good to have you here, Rob.
ROB NEYHARD: Nice to be here.
[applause] SCOTT BRUCE: Now Leslie, I see here, of course, that you do the wedding videographies and other things.
And I'm sure you've got some interesting things there, but I also have a note here that you have-- and all it says is a dalmatian collection.
Yes.
SCOTT BRUCE: Now are we talking the figurines, or do you have a whole bunch of dogs?
LESLIE C. STAAB: [chuckles] If it was up to me, I'd have a bunch of dogs, but I don't.
I have ceramic figurines.
SCOTT BRUCE: Ceramic figurines.
LESLIE C. STAAB: Not a whole lot of them but special ones that I have obtained them on the way.
SCOTT BRUCE: Collected through your travels.
Yes.
Well, that's very nice.
Good to have you here.
Leslie Staab.
Thank you.
[applause] SCOTT BRUCE: Now Steven Herb, [chuckles] I got great notes today.
This is wonderful.
The famous feline that inspired Penn State's Nittany Lion mascot made an indirect attempt on your life.
STEVEN HERB: It's true.
[chuckles] SCOTT BRUCE: You were attacked by a mountain lion?
STEVEN HERB: No.
It's been dead a long time, but when I met up with it a couple of years ago, I patted it on the head as you might want to do and found out from the person who was conserving it at the time that arsenic was the primary ingredient in taxidermy in the 1850s.
So I made a very quick trip to the bathroom.
97 handwashings later, I felt OK to leave.
SCOTT BRUCE: So there's a Nittany Lion that still has some bite.
STEVEN HERB: That's right.
I like that.
Well, good to have you here.
Steven Herb.
[applause] And with all that fun, let's move on.
New question.
ANNOUNCER: In 1974, as enacted by the Pennsylvania General Assembly, what became the official state insect?
Is it the A, ladybug; B, firefly; C, praying mantis; or D, grasshopper?
SCOTT BRUCE: Ooh, we got a buggy question.
And this looks like a panel that might know this too.
I have a feeling.
Is it the ladybug, the firefly, the praying mantis, or the grasshopper?
We're going to run all the way down to you first, Steve.
I'm really understanding the game.
I have no idea.
SCOTT BRUCE: There you go.
That's the way to play.
So I selected B. SCOTT BRUCE: B?
Just for no reason-- No good reason-- SCOTT BRUCE: --or whatsoever, firely?
Who of us didn't collect them when we were kids?
STEVEN HERB: That's right.
I think it should be if it's not.
We'll go to Rob.
Oh, it has to be the firefly.
I used to eat them when I was a kid.
SCOTT BRUCE: Oh, my gosh.
Used to eat them?
I thought there was a glow about you, Rob.
ROB NEYHARD: [laughs] SCOTT BRUCE: You used to eat fireflies?
I didn't know they were edible.
ROB NEYHARD: They weren't.
SCOTT BRUCE: Oh.
[chuckling] And he still made it.
We've got arsenic and firefly poisoning going on.
We'll go to Leslie.
I took a slight departure.
I chose C, the praying mantis.
SCOTT BRUCE: C, the praying mantis because they bite the head off their mate, don't they?
Yes.
That'd be the one.
SCOTT BRUCE: Interesting you should choose that, Leslie.
Let's find out if any of them are right.
ANNOUNCER: The answer is B. Fireflies or lightning bugs are neither bugs nor flies.
They're actually classified as beetles.
Fireflies are found on every continent except Antarctica.
While abundant in Pennsylvania, you won't find fireflies in some Western states.
In Pennsylvania, fireflies usually start appearing in June.
Peak season is around the 4th of July.
The flashing called bioluminescence is caused by a chemical interaction.
Fireflies light up to attract a mate, for protection, and to warn other fireflies of danger.
The chemicals that make the light are bitter.
The flashing lets predators know they aren't good to eat.
Different species flash at different times of night, and each species has its own unique flash pattern.
Female fireflies don't have wings.
They sit in vegetation and flash to let the males know where they are.
One species of firefly called the femme fatale actually eats her mate.
Oh, well.
Leslie, was that close.
You just picked the wrong eater.
That's all.
All right.
That's going to give us a chance to take a look at our scores and see how we're doing.
And today the score is 2.
That's right, 2 to 2 to 2.
We got a close game.
Get your pens ready.
Time for the first clue in the Mystery Pennsylvanian.
And here it comes.
This singing sensation grew up in Wexford, Pennsylvania, making her national debut on Star Search at the age of eig Singing sensation grew up in Wexford, Pennsylvania, making her national debut on Star Search at the age of We've got some people that think they know they're writing stuff quickly.
That's a good sign.
Remember, write that down on the top line, you got 3 points; the middle line, 2 points; the bottom line, 1 point.
And that's about all the time we're going to have, so we're going to move on with the game right now.
ANNOUNCER: Pittsburgh Pirates legend Roberto Clemente was one of baseball's all-time greats.
Which of the following is not true about the baseball hero, A, he was the first Hispanic player voted to the Hall of Fame; B, he died in a plane crash while delivering relief supplies to earthquake victims in Nicaragua; C, more hospitals, schools, and parks are named for him than for any US president; or D, he's the only baseball player ever featured on a postage stamp?
SCOTT BRUCE: One of my personal heroes.
Again, 2 and 1 game.
Which one is not true?
Three of them are.
Was he the first Hispanic player in the Hall of Fame?
Did he die in a plane crash while delivering relief supplies; more hospitals, schools, and parks are named for him; or he's the only player ever featured on a postage stamp?
Rob, we get to start off with you.
What do you think?
I went with C because I think the other three are true.
SCOTT BRUCE: You think the other three are-- well, that's a good reason to do it right there.
We'll find out.
Let's go.
Leslie.
I chose D. I don't recall ever seeing him on a postage stamp.
SCOTT BRUCE: I don't think I've ever seen him on a postage stamp either.
I think you might be on to something here.
And you're a Pittsburgher, so another in.
LESLIE C. STAAB: That's right.
Down to Steven.
I can't deny he might be on a postage stamp, but I would be surprised he'd be the only one.
So I chose D as well.
SCOTT BRUCE: So we got two postage stamps, and we have the guy from Northeast Pennsylvania who probably doesn't know.
Yeah.
[chuckles] ANNOUNCER: The answer is D. Roberto Clemente is the second baseball player after Jackie Robinson to be featured on a postage stamp.
Clemente played for the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1954 until 1972, topping the 300 mark 13 times and winning four batting titles.
He was National League Most Valuable Player in 1966 and star of the 1971 World Series batting a 414 to beat the Baltimore Orioles.
Though his life was cut short in 1972 by a tragic plane crash while delivering supplies to earthquake victims in Nicaragua, he is remembered as an outstanding athlete and humanitarian and the first Latin American player elected to baseball's Hall of Fame.
Today, more hospitals, schools, parks, and other things are named for Roberto Clemente than for any US president.
In Pittsburgh, a street, a park, and a bridge are named in his honor.
ROB NEYHARD: We have to have some 44 questions.
Ah, yes.
We're going to try and get some 44 questions for Rob over here.
In the meantime, Roberto Clemente-- one thing they didn't mention there and one of my personal favorite pieces of information.
He's a member of the 3,000-hit club.
As a matter of fact, his very last hit that he made was his 3,000th, so that's how he ended his career.
Interesting stuff.
More interesting stuff right now.
ANNOUNCER: In 1858, Hyman Lipman of Philadelphia patented something that is used by just about everyone the world over and remains essentially unchanged.
Was it A, a pencil with an attached eraser; B, the safety pin; C, scissors; or D, the zipper?
SCOTT BRUCE: No one's going to argue that Pennsylvania has the best names.
Hymen Lipman, did he invent the pencil with the attached eraser, the safety pin, the scissors, or the zipper?
Nice one.
Leslie, we'll go to you first.
Just taking a wild guess.
I'm saying safety pin.
Wild guess, safety pin.
Good work.
I like it.
Steven.
It was a little less wild, but I chose B as well.
SCOTT BRUCE: Yeah.
So we have two safety pins, one wild, one semiwild.
LESLIE C. STAAB: [chuckles] SCOTT BRUCE: And Rob?
ROB NEYHARD: Well, same logic as theirs, but I went with C. SCOTT BRUCE: Same logic, but you went with the scissors.
Mm-hmm.
SCOTT BRUCE: Skissors, as we call them at home.
Is it skissors or safety pin, or are these guys looking at big zeros?
ANNOUNCER: The answer is A. The first patent for attaching the eraser on top of the pencil was issued in 1858 to Hymen Lipman of Philadelphia.
The patent was later held to be invalid because it was merely the combination of two things independently used.
Erasers weren't always called erasers.
The item was originally referred to as a rubber because the tree resin it was made of rubbed out marks made by a pencil.
Hey, the eraser.
[applause] While most Americans consider a pencil without eraser wouldn't even consider a pencil without eraser, in Europe, it's actually much more common.
That's where you would only see pencils without erasers all done by hand.
So time to take a look at our scoreboard, see what we've done.
By virtue of his lack of Pittsburgh knowledge, Rob has fallen behind but only by 1 point.
He has 2.
Leslie, 3.
Steve, 3.
It's a close one.
[applause] And that means it's time for our second clue in the Mystery Pennsylvanian.
Get your pens ready.
This girl got what she wanted, her own album before graduating from high school.
This girl got what she wanted, her own album before graduating from high school.
This singing sensation, grew up in Wexford, Pennsylvania, making her national debut on Star Search at the age of e So we know she can't be too old.
See if you can get that written down on your second line.
And we're going to try and make some progress.
And everybody seems happy.
What do you say?
Let's move back to the game.
ANNOUNCER: Fort Roberdeau in Sinking Valley, now a national historic landmark in Blair County, was built in 1778 by Pennsylvania settlers to protect a much needed and scarce resource.
Was that material A, saltpeter; B, lead; C, sulfur; or D, salt?
SCOTT BRUCE: Fort Roberdeau, 1778.
What material was that?
Was it saltpeter?
Was it lead, sulfur, or salt?
Steven, we'll get down to you first.
It's amazing how many times you can not know an answer.
SCOTT BRUCE: It is astounding, isn't it, on this game.
I said C. SCOTT BRUCE: C. What was C?
Sulfur.
That's a good answer.
I like it.
Rob.
ROB NEYHARD: Has to be lead.
SCOTT BRUCE: Has to be lead.
Has to be.
SCOTT BRUCE: Oh, man.
I love that positive attitude.
You're in deep trouble, my friend.
ROB NEYHARD: [chuckles] We'll go down to Leslie.
I said C, sulfur.
SCOTT BRUCE: C, sulfur.
So we've got two sulfurs.
We've got one lead.
Let's see if Rob can get the lead out.
[chuckles] ANNOUNCER: The answer is B, lead.
One of the greatest needs of the colonial army during the Revolutionary War was led for ammunition.
The few lead mines in operation were not sufficient to meet the demand.
In 1777, Daniel Roberdeau traveled to Sinking Spring Valley in what was then Bedford County to investigate claims of rich lead deposits.
Fort Roberdeau, formerly known as The Lead Mine Fort, s built to protect miners and smelters from Indian attack.
The amount of lead that could be extracted from the ore-bearing limestone had been exaggerated.
And within a year, the mining operation was abandoned.
Today, the reconstructed Fort Roberdeau is a favorite tourist attraction and historic landmark owned and operated by Blair County.
[applause] Yeah.
It just doesn't get any better than this.
This is The Pennsylvania Game.
You learn.
You learn.
You learn.
Let's learn.
ANNOUNCER: In 1888, Philadelphian Theophilus Van Kannel invented the revolving door.
The original purpose of the door was to A, count the number of people who entered public buildings; B, prevent cold drafts and heat loss in high-rise buildings; C, accommodate obese patrons of his Philadelphia bakery; or D, illustrate the Republican Party's position on President Grover Cleveland who was running for a second term-- "In and out for Mr.
stout"?
SCOTT BRUCE: [chuckles] In and out for Mr Stout.
Then Campbell in 1888.
What in the heck is this about, the count the number of people who entered the building, prevent cold drafts and heat loss from the high-rise buildings, accommodate obese patrons, or illustrate Republican Party's position-- "In and out Mr.
Stout"?
Ooh, I like them all.
Rob, they're good ones.
You got to admit that.
They are good ones, and none of them meet any logic.
SCOTT BRUCE: Of course not.
So I went with A. SCOTT BRUCE: You went with A. Good choice.
I like it.
Entered the buildings.
Leslie.
I went with B. SCOTT BRUCE: You went with B?
Just by the-- SCOTT BRUCE: Prevent the cold from going out?
I think that's a real logical thing.
Might hurt you, but I think it's real logical.
Steve.
STEVEN HERB: I wish I had been brave enough for D, but I went with B too.
SCOTT BRUCE: You wish you'd been brave enough for D, but-- I do.
SCOTT BRUCE: --you went with B. Yes.
SCOTT BRUCE: Let's see if it works out for you.
I think you have a chance here.
ANNOUNCER: The answer is B, to prevent cold drafts and heat loss in high-rise buildings.
Theophilus Van Kannel's revolutionary new door admitted people but not the wind.
His comedy slogan was "Always Closed."
In frigid cities such as Chicago, Boston, and New York, the new buildings lost heat when swinging doors stayed open too long, sucking cold air into the building and forcing warm air out.
The revolving door was also an antidote to the vacuum of air created by chimneys, elevator shafts, and stairwells, which made conventional doors difficult to open.
Van Kannel's revolving door remained basically unchanged until the early 1940s when a fire in a Boston nightclub caused frantic patrons to clog the slow-moving exit doors.
Thereafter, building codes were changed to require that revolving doors be collapsible in the center so people could escape on either side.
[applause] SCOTT BRUCE: Escaping the doors.
That's going to bring us up to clue number three in your Mystery Pennsylvanian.
Please get your pens ready, panelists.
Here it comes.
This former mouseketeer took home a Grammy in 2000 for best new artist.
Former mouseketeer-- and here's a little help.
It's not Anita-- Annette, Annette.
It's not Annette or copy or any of the others, not from the old ones.
Former mouseketeer took home a Grammy in 2000 for best new artist.
Singing sensation, grew up in Wexford, Pennsylvania, making her national debut on Star Search at the age And she knows what she wants, what a girl wants.
So everybody's got an answer down, so I think we can continue on.
Leslie, what I want you to do is I want to take your card and put it right up there on the slot so we can all see it and you can tell us what you wrote.
For all three, I wrote Christina Aguilera.
SCOTT BRUCE: You went Christina Aguilera all the way down the line.
Is this something that you feel you know very well?
My nine-year-old would not forgive me.
SCOTT BRUCE: [chuckles] You wouldn't be able to watch the show with your kid if you didn't get it right.
All right.
Well, let's hope you write it right.
We'll find out.
Go down to Steve.
What do you got for me, Steve?
Unfortunately, I have no nine-year-old.
SCOTT BRUCE: Oh, that's going to hurt you.
And I realized it at the last minute when I changed-- SCOTT BRUCE: You have Tanya Tucker, do I see?
I think so.
SCOTT BRUCE: I can't read from here.
You have to read them off.
All right, I have to tell you, don't I?
LeAnn Rimes.
And then oh, no, which is really shorthand for Christina-- SCOTT BRUCE: Christina Aguilera.
Yes, we often get that type of shorthand here on The Pennsylvania Game.
Yeah.
Let's run over to Rob.
Rob, do you have nine-year-olds at home?
No, I have a 13-year-old, and that's why I knew it finally on the third try.
SCOTT BRUCE: Loretta Lynn, Brenda Lee, Loretta Lynn.
Good start.
Mouseketeer Loretta, I like that one.
Brenda Lee and you got Christina Aguilera at the end.
And by the way, we don't count for spelling, so that's real good.
That's real good.
SCOTT BRUCE: If in fact, it's right.
Wendy, tell us if it is.
[CHRISTINA AGUILERA, "WHAT A GIRL WANTS"] ANNOUNCER: Christina Aguilera, the young woman with a powerful voice, grew up in Wexford, north of Pittsburgh.
At age eight, she appeared on the nationally syndicated Star Search.
At age 10, she sang the national anthem for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
And at 12, she landed a spot on The New Mickey Mouse Club, appearing with fellow teen sensation Britney Spears.
In 1998, at age 17, she released her debut album which featured two chart-topping singles, "Genie in a Bottle" and "What a Girl Wants."
Some say the blue-eyed Latin American beauty who took home a Grammy in 2000 for best new artist has the pipes to become the next Barbra Streisand or Celine Dion.
Christina Aguilera, a famous Pennsylvanian.
[CHRISTINA AGUILERA, "WHAT A GIRL WANTS"] SCOTT BRUCE: Yeah.
[applause] Oh, yeah.
And she looks so good in those ears, doesn't she?
Let's take a look how did that make things wrap up.
Well, Rob and Steve, very nicely done.
4 points each.
Very respectable.
But you can't beat the triple whammy Christina Aguilera.
Leslie pulls out 7 points, our new champ.
[cheering, applause] That's right.
Wendy Williams, tell Leslie what she's won.
ANNOUNCER: Hey, Scott.
Today's winner receives an assortment of Hershey's gift items, including a chocolate candle and Hershey's chocolates plus free passes to Hersheypark.
Hersheypark, the sweetest place on Earth-- and 50 chances to win $1,000 A Week For Life from the Pennsylvania Lottery.
LESLIE C. STAAB: Like this.
Look at that.
Prizes, prizes, prizes.
She looks good up behind there in the camera too.
Nicely done, Leslie.
Very happy.
Lots of chances to win.
And you can have chances to win too.
We certainly enjoyed having you in the studio audience.
Aren't they fabulous?
