Election 2004
Special Coverage in Your Behrend Beacon
College Republ
By Sarah Weber
staff writer
With Nov. 2 creeping ever closer and
the presidential campaigns racing toward
a climax, the Penn State Behrend Col
lege Republicans have been rallying their
troops for what is looking to be a close
presidential battle.
“The polls are pretty much even right
now, it could be anyone’s game at this
point,” said Thomas Workman, CENBD
03, vice president of the Behrend branch.
The College Republicans have been
actively recruiting club members on
campus and have been volunteering with
the Erie republican headquarters on
Peach Street. Many of the club members
were involved with the recent visit Presi
dent George W. Bush paid to Veteran’s
Stadium, and were rewarded with the
best seats in the house for his speech.
According to Workman, the club has
welcomed over 70 new members since
the beginning of the semester, and the
College Republicans expect more Bush
supporters to join the group through
November. The College Republicans
have predominantly been attracting
members through a booth they are run
ning outside of Bruno’s and were also a
part of Club Rush.
Ethan Cirinelli, FNC 08, the College
Republican president says the club is an
opportunity to share ideas with like
minded people.
WINE, from Page
For the adults at both parks, there will be
five different wine vendors from the local
area both Saturday and Sunday. Arrowhead
Wine Cellars, Heritage Wine Cellars, Mazza
Vineyards, Penn Shore Vineyards and
Presque Isle Wine Cellars will all be present
to satisfy even the most finicky wine con
noisseur. Each vendor will offer a vast col
lection of wines for you to sample and pur
chase.
“I believe people will choose our winery
for the tours that we offer,” said Robert
Mazza of Mazza Vineyards. “We present
the best quality tour of our production facil
ity along with a slide show following the
tour. Our Niagara wine is the most popular
due to sales. It is a little on the sweet side.”
“Heritage Winery’s most popular wine is
the Half & Half,” said Robert Bostwick of
Heritage Wine Cellars. “This wine consists
of one half Niagara and one half Concord.
Our facility has more to offer because we
have more than just the winery tour. Heri
tage offers a restaurant with a great buffet

icans rally for campaign support
“You get to be around people with
similar views. We also have social
events like going to see the hockey team
play. After the election we’re still going
to try and keep the group active,” said
Cirinelli. “It’s just a good place to make
friends and meet people.”
Aside from the social opportunities the
club provides, its core purpose is to get
the word out on issues that are impor
tant to republican students.
“The war, the economy and interior af
fairs are the main points of interest for
me,” said Workman. “After September
11, we found we can’t stand by and wait
for something to happen. We have to
act. President Bush is going to go in and
take care of what needs to be taken care
of. We had an economic recession after
September 11, but the unemployment
rate is at about 5.3 percent now and that
is exceptional. President Bush knows
what he stands for.”
The College Republicans are planning
to set a date for a debate with the cam
pus Young Democrats in October. While
the two groups have been working inde
pendently, each trying to expand mem
bership and support their respective cam
paigns, the College Republicans say that
they will work together to push voter reg
istration.
“Even if you’re going to vote for
Kerry, just get out there and vote,” said
Workman.
The College Republicans say they are
also encouraging student democrats who
and live music all weekend.”
There will also be a taste & tour Satur
day. Buses will be available for those wish
ing to take a guided tour of these wine mak
ing establishments while sampling all of the
wines. Tour buses will run Saturday from
noon until 6 p.m. There will be one bus as
signed to each winery going back and forth
from Gravel Pit Park. Don’t miss your
chance to see the how our local wine is pro
duced first hand.
Wine seminars will be held on Saturday
at Gravel Pit Park. There will be four semi
nars consisting of a wine and cheese semi
nar, a cooking with wine seminar, and a
seminar that will show you how to make
your own wine.
For those who do not really care for wine
or are too young to participate in the wine
tasting, there is still plenty of entertainment.
There will be plenty of alternative bever
ages offered at the festival. Two sponsors
of the festival, Pepsi and Welch’s, will be on
hand to quench your thirst. There will be

many arts and crafts vendors from the area
for those who fancy their knick knacks rather
than their Concord and Catawba.
“There is just a variety of entertainment
for the kids,” said Susan Moore, the special
event coordinator for North East Chamber
of Commerce. “There will be horse drawn
wagon rides, a dino-jump, an obstacle
course, and they will also have a rock climb
ing wall for people of all ages. Be sure to
check out Johnny B’s award winning cheese
burger soup.”
