CBICC hosts transportation luncheon Experts: When it comes to infrastructure, commonwealth in dire state By HARRY ZIMBLER

correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — The Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County hosted a “Transportation in Pennsylvania” luncheon on Tuesday at the Penn Stater Hotel and Conference Center. Addressing the more than 100 Chamber members were Barry Schoch, Pennsylvania secretary of transportation; journalist and author Dan McNichol; and Dan Hawbaker, president and CEO of Glen O. Hawbaker. McNichol, currently on a national tour to bring awareness of the nation’s crumbling infrastructure, provided the larger, national context of the crisis facing America. He is traveling across the country in a 1949 Hudson. “There are 4 million miles of roads in the United States,” he said. “Our culture is

defined by those roads.” He noted that the Chinese have built a national road system based on what they learned from the U.S. Interstate System. “Like every great society, including the (ancient) Romans, we have congestion and congestion is killing us,” he said. McNichol explained that congestion and accidents slow down commerce and clog the nation’s courts. “The impact of bad roads is stunning. It is time to rebuild.” Pennsylvania is particularly vulnerable to job loss and higher prices considering the condition of its infrastructure. The number of deficient bridges grows larger every year. McNichol, who is following the path that President Dwight Eisenhower took to prove that American roads CBICC, Page 5

Second-graders host ‘Insect Museum’ By MARJORIE S. MILLER

mmiller@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Since the start of the school year, students in Colleen McCracken’s second grade class at Easterly Parkway Elementary School have devoted their studies to the species known for its three pairs of legs and segmented body. From beetles to butterflies and everything in between, each of McCracken’s 22 students

picked an insect of their choice to study, and worked to create an exhibit dedicated to their findings. “A lot of the class got their first choice,” she said. The students’ exhibits were showcased Oct. 4 at the elementary school during an “insect museum,” which was open to family and other teachers and students. McCracken said this is her Insect, Page 5

BELLEFONTE — A judge ruled Oct. 2 there is enough evidence to put a Lemont man on trial for allegedly making false reports of sexual abuse. David Adewumi, 25, claimed he was sexually abused by officers in the Centre County Correctional Facility after being arrested for stalking and harassing a teenage girl. Adewumi said officers at the prison performed inappropriate acts while he was seated in a restraint chair. Pennsylvania State Trooper Gretchen Swank said at Adewumi’s preliminary hearing Wednesday that she reviewed video given to her by the prison and that it showed no sexual abuse had happened.

Adewumi’s attorney Philip Masorti argued the case should be thrown out, and that Adewumi is not saying the officers intentionally touched him. Masorti argued that Adewumi is saying he might have been touched while the officers were restraining him. Masorti also said Adewumi could not see exactly how he was being touched because his head was restrained back, and that Adewumi was free to make a complaint if he thought he was being touched inappropriately. Assistant District Attorney Nathan Boob said that all charges should be bound over for trial because Adewumi made it clear to State Police he was sexually abused at the prison, and that he wanted to press charges.

Volunteers come together for Day of Caring By CHRIS MORELLI

editor@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — The Day of Caring just gets bigger and better with each passing year. Oct. 3 marked the 20th anniversary of the United Way’s Day of Caring. Approximately 1,000 volunteers from across the county joined forces at more than 65 sites to help nonprofit organizations complete projects. At the YMCA in State College, workers from Penn State’s College of IST poured mulch, pulled weeds and raked leaves. According to YMCA development director Theresa Mast, the Day of Caring plays a vital role every fall. “Something we don’t get to do year-round is landscaping, making it look nice on the outside of our building,” Mast said. “This year, we had some construction out front and it’s extra messy out there. It’s nice to have them do it. It’s not something we have the resources to do ourselves.” Mast said the fact that so many people volunteer their time on a workday speaks volumes about the community. “We live in an awesome community. People around here really come together and work together for a common good. The Day of Caring is a great example of that. They keep getting more people every year. This is a huge help. It’s probably something we just wouldn’t do. It’s really not an expense we can take on,” Mast said. The United Way Day of Caring began 20 years ago when retired Marine Corps Col. Gerald Russell saw a similar event taking place in a community out-

side Centre County. The day began with a volunteer appreciation breakfast. Keith Barrows, senior vice president of PNC Bank, was one of several speakers at the breakfast. PNC Bank sponsored the event. Other speakers included United Way events coordinator Beth Shaha, executive director Tammy Gentzel, and Russell. At the Centre County Youth Service Bureau, workers from Ferguson Township cleaned up and modified the building’s window wells. According to YSB CEO Andrea Boyles, the volunteers performed a vital role on Thursday. “It’s a huge help because it’s the type of project that just never makes it to the top of the list. We don’t have the manpower, we don’t have the money. It’s not a safety hazard. We don’t have to do it, but it’s a nice project,” Boyles said. According to Boyles, volunteers associated with Day of Caring have been helping out YSB for the past two decades. “We have multiple sites … we have (volunteers) at six sites,” Boyles said. “It is critical. No. 1, it allows us to do jobs that really should be done, but we’re not able to prioritize because of the money or the manpower. It also brings companies to us. They get to know us. It’s not just about getting painting done or the window wells. They get to meet our staff as they come and go.” The YMCA and YSB were just a couple of the sites where volunteers were getting tasks done. Other sites included the Centre Furnace Mansion, Strawberry Fields, Rails to Trails, Stormbreak, The Arc, Our Lady of Vic-

At Stormbreak in downtown State College, volunteers from Home Depot added shrubs and mulch, installed a new rain gutter and put on a new patio door. According to Eric Walker, store manager, Home Depot, the store has been active in Day of Caring since 2008. “The grand opening of our store in State College was in 2008

and from the beginning we heavily supported community projects. Our chief value is giving back,” Walker explained. “Volunteering for Day of Caring helps us as a team to establish emotional connections with not only the community, but also with associates as a team.” According to Stormbreak program manager Karen Hall, Day of Caring is beneficial to all those who are involved. “We love Day of Caring.

‘Ladies Night Out’ will beneďŹ t Pink Zone By SAMI HULINGS

shulings@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — In celebration of breast cancer survivors and their strength, bravery and beauty, the Pennsylvania Pink Zone will present its second annual “The Little Black Dress Goes Pink� Ladies Night Out event on Oct. 17 at Seven Mountains Wine Cellars. Sponsored by Mount Nittany Health, the event will include a cocktail hour, live entertainment, wine tastings, a silent auction and a luxury basket raffle. The night’s main event, a premier fashion show sponsored by N’V Boutique, will feature breast cancer survivor models and appearances by Lady Lions basketball players and coaches. “This whole evening is about having fun and getting out with your girlfriends for a good cause,� said Miriam Powell, Pink Zone executive director. According to Powell, the initial event came from an idea she presented to the Pink Zone board and Pink Zone Game Day planning committee a few years ago. “My job as the executive director of this nonprofit is to try to come up with new ways that we can do fundraising year-round. One of the focal points of our Pink Zone mission is to empower survivors,� she said. Powell said she worked to come up with an idea that would empower and entertain breast cancer survivors in State College and its surrounding communities. Fashion topped her idea list and so “The Little Black Dress Goes Pink� was born. Because of the success of the first event, Powell said Pink Zone knew an annual event was necessary. “We just got so much positive feedback about what a fun night it was and how different it was from all the other fundraisers that seem to be in town,� she said. “Now we have the second annual because of the success. We are really looking forward to it.� In order to ensure the night’s success continues, Powell said she is aided by a committee of volunteers, various Penn State Athletics employees and the Lady Lions basketball team. “We have a lot of different moving components all at once, but I have a wonderful army of volunteers that as-

sist with the planning,� she said. “I’m very lucky to have a committee that works to make the event spectacular.� In addition to the planning committee and volunteers, Powell credits the success of the event to various local businesses and their generosity. One such business is Seven Mountains Wine Cellars, which agreed to serve as the fashion show’s location as a way to set the fundraiser apart from other local events. “We know it is such a beautiful time of year to be out at the winery with the leaves changing,� Powell said. “It just seemed like a unique space. (It’s) something different that we thought seemed to fit the theme and the tone of the fashion show.� Though the winery is not far out of town, Powell recognized it could be a bit of an inconvenience to some. Right away, Fullington Trailways stepped up and offered to bus guests to the event, free of charge. Fullington also provides rides from various locations to breast cancer survivors and their family members to the Pink Zone game that occurs in February, once again all free. “It is unbelievable how enthusiastic Fullington continues to be about supporting Pink Zone,� Powell said. “We couldn’t do it without them. The number of survivors that they bring in for the Pink Zone game and their families, you can’t put into words the service they provide us and they expect nothing in return. They are just a wonderful company to work with.� With clothing provided by N’V Boutique and silent auction and basket raffle items donated by various local businesses, Powell said she can’t express how much the support of the community really means to those at Pink Zone. “We have a very generous community that continues to give and give and give,� she said. Many of those who continuously give include those who attended the first “Little Black Dress Goes Pink� event and the breast cancer survivors themselves. After last year’s show, Powell said she received phone calls from survivors and their friends and family with questions about modeling at this year’s fashion show. Powell believes this is because of the atmosphere of the event and the support given to the breast cancer survivors by those in attendance. “Just the reaction that the people in the audience had, just the applause and the celebration, I think that’s what it’s all about,� she said. “These women who have battled breast cancer have seen some very dark days and been through a very tough fight. It is just a really fun and unique

backing, and this bill needs to be done at the $2.5 billion level. And if we don’t do it soon there will be significant ramifications. We have been patching the system for far too long. We need to build, not fix and patch. We are avoiding a crisis, right now. And it is not a contrived crisis. It’s a real crisis.” Secretary Schoch then addressed the specific challenges facing Pennsylvania. “I have spent the past two-and-a-half years discussing the problems we face,” he began. “You can’t allow infrastructure to age without consequence.” Currently, Pennsylvania has 1,200 bridges with weight restrictions, and they are costing the state’s economy. “We have 11,000 bridges that cannot handle the load they need to handle. It isn’t a pretty picture.” Schoch noted that each year the state will add more than 200 bridges to the weight-restricted list, if nothing is done. “Our bridges are aging and there is only so much you can do to slow the aging process.” Schoch underlined the urgency of the situation. “The next two weeks will determine what’s going to happen. We can’t punt any more. It will get worse and accelerate. Decaying infrastructure will make Pennsylvania uncompetitive. Either we solve the problem or we don’t and have to pay the price, including higher costs for goods and services.” The state’s ports are also in need of upgrades and mass transit systems are failing at an alarming rate. “This is a jobs bill,” Schoch said. “It will mean the creation of 50,000 jobs or the loss of 12,000 if the bill is not passed. In his concluding remarks, Schoch stated that no project is more important than the Route 322 improvements from Seven Mountains to State College. “The Senate bill has a lot of money for local municipalities and local road improvements,” he said. Hawbaker concluded the session by explaining that employment at his company and many others will be impacted by the decision on Senate Bill 1. “Employment at Glen O. Hawbaker is on the brink,” he said. “And so is the economic well-being of the commonwealth.”

STUDENTS AT Easterly Parkway Elementary listen intently during the insect museum on Oct. 4. Insect, from page 1 first year trying out the insect museum. She got the idea when her Penn State graduate class put together a bird museum this past summer. “It was one of the best experiences I had teaching,” she said. The exhibits, set up at each of the students’ desks, were made using cardboard tri-folds glued with colorful tissue paper for decoration. Inside the tri-folds were the students’ insects, made out of clay, as well as a description of the insect. “They had to come up with the writing,” she said. Choosing their own insect to study helped motivate the students, McCracken said, as well as provided them with inde-

pendence. “The kids seem very excited about it,” she said. In addition to creating the display and description of the insects, McCracken’s students also made a comic, diary and poems about their insect. The class even created a song about insects, which was played by video during the showcase. “They did a lot of work to get to this stage,” she said. McCracken said her class had a lot of help and support throughout the process, including from the reading teacher, music teacher and principal at Easterly Parkway. “This has honestly been a whole school project,” she said. “A lot of people have been really helpful … and really supportive.”

Ticketing error leads to oversold student section for Michigan game By BEN JONES

StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Every student with a ticket to Penn State’s White House game against Michigan this weekend will make it into the stadium, they just might not all be in the student section. According an email sent by Penn State athletics to student season ticket holders, an error in the ticket sale process led to the student section being oversold. The student section is expected to be above capacity for Penn State’s homecoming clash Saturday. To try and prevent an overpopulation crisis, Penn State athletics is offering students the chance to trade in their ticket for this weekend’s game in exchange for one of three ticket packages. All of the packages include a chairback seat in the upper south end zone for the

game, $10 in LionCash, and a 2013 White Out t-shirt. In addition to the above benefits, student have the ability to trade in their ticket for one of the following packages: n Either 50 percent off student tickets next season or two free tickets to next year’s Homecoming game. n A $200 donation to THON in the student’s name. n Pregame on-field access to Penn State’s game against either Illinois, Purdue, or Nebraska later this season. Students have until Oct. 10 at midnight to take advantage of the ticket exchange opportunity. Penn State announced earlier that the game was a sellout, but also acknowledged that the university had set aside seats in the upper south end zone when this problem first came to light earlier this summer.

were poor, outlined the serious challenges the United States and Pennsylvania face: He listed many of them, including: n The nation’s heavy rail system has very little capacity for passenger service. n 50 percent of all Americans have no access to rail service. n The Chinese have built the largest subterranean rail system in the world, double the size of New York’s subway system. n Most American ports are not deep enough for new deep ships. n Many of the locks in the U.S. were built in the 19th century. n The dams and 100,000 miles of levees in the United States are poorly maintained. n Storm water and sewage are not well controlled. n The power grid created by the 3,300 utilities in the country needs to be rebuilt. n We have not decided how to handle electronic waste. n Thousands of “brownfield” sites await action and remediation. “Have you heard about the broken window theory? If you allow a broken window to go unattended, it will invite serious problems and crime. Well, a broken bridge is as important as a broken window. This all has an impact on the psyche of our nation.” He turned the program over to Dan Hawbaker. “We are a true crossroads,” Hawbaker stated. “I think the United States is the Golden Goose that leads the world. We are not doing a good job taking care of the Golden Goose. We are depleting our resources trying to work through the morass of political creatures.” Hawbaker spoke about the need for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives to pass Senate Bill 1 calling for $2.5 billion for Pennsylvania infrastructure upgrades. He thanked State Sen. Jake Corman for his hard work on getting the bill passed 45-5 in the Senate. “We have worked diligently with everyone concerned to make progress on this,” he said. “We have tremendous

Garman, from page 1 of the media toured the structure, getting an up-close and personal look at the destruction. The invitation to tour the building was set up by State College developer Ara Kervandjian. He wants to raze the Garman and Do De as part of a development plan to construct a three-story building with 21 apartments. The apartments, he said, would be for workforce housing. According to Kervandjian, it was time to open the doors to the public. “We thought it was important for people to see with their own eyes what the condition is,” he said. “You can raise money to save something, but you need to know where that money is going. When you look to what happened last year, when these fires happened, it created a need for housing. Here’s another fire that has affected Bellefonte. We’ve stepped up to try to make a difference here.” Kervandjian’s efforts to turn the buildings into housing has not come without a fight. Members of the Bellefonte Historical and Cultural Association have filed an injunction that would prevent Kervandjian from demolishing the building until an appeal process is completed. A one-hour hearing is tentatively scheduled for 2 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 15, in Courtroom 1 of the Centre County Courthouse, just across the street from the Garman. It will delay the process for Kervandjian, who was awarded the building after the Bellefonte Industrial Development Authority and President Judge Thomas King Kistler approved his plan to raze the building. “We’re trying to work with the community to understand that our intentions aren’t to erase the memory of the Garman. We’re trying to do something good for the community,” Kervandjian said. Once the doors were opened, the public filtered inside. To enter the structure, participants had to sign a waiver. It was also recommended that those participating in the tours wear a dust mask to limit any chance of inhaling contaminants. Inside the building, those taking part in the tour saw plenty of mold and fungi. Inside the theatre itself, the chairs are covered in mold and plaster that has fallen from the ceiling and walls. The movie screen has collapsed and come to rest across the stage. A restaurant that was housed below the Garman is a total loss. There are still some restaurant supplies strewn about the mold and mildew. Several booths were covered in mold. Exposed wires hang from the walls and ceiling. According to project manager Troy Knecht, razing the building makes the most sense — both from an economic and safety standpoint. “It would cost more than a million dollars to shore up the walls on all three sides. Once you take out all the structural support from inside the building, there’s nothing left there to hold them up, so you have to prepare for that and make sure they don’t (collapse),” Knecht said. “It’s going to be safer, absolutely. New building, new fire codes, new

Here, he is shown standing with a sketch of a his development plans. security.” Demolishing the building, Knecht said, is the way to go. “It’s going to cost considerably less. You’re just removing everything that’s here, including the walls,” he said. Knecht also said that the public tours just scratched the surface as far as damage goes. “There are areas worse than what you’ve seen. We’re just not granting access because of safety,” he said. “The entire fourth floor has collapsed in on the third floor in the rear of the property.” A large group of those taking the tour were from the BHCA. They parked a van in front of the Garman, handed out pamphlets and wore “Save the Garman” T-shirts. Their pamphlets point to the Match Factory and the Gamble Mill as buildings that once faced demolition but were spared. The Match Factory now serves the American Philatelic Society. Gamble Mill is one of Bellefonte’s most recognizable restaurants. BHCA member Joanne Tosti-Vasey believes the Garman can be spared from the wrecking ball. “We want to see it restored into a community center that includes meeting space, artist space, a theatre, a restaurant so that the community has a place to help revitalize our community,” Tosti-Vasey said. “I believe in Victo-

rian Bellefonte. We do not need to keep losing buildings. This is one of the premier buildings in our town.” As for the damage inside the building, Tosti-Vasey said she doesn’t believe it’s as bad as it appears. “I know that there’s a lot of mold in there, but mold can be remediated. The building is structurally sound … it does not need to be demolished,” she said. Another member of the BHCA, Sally Houser, didn’t tour the Garman. However, she was glad that the tours were given. “If this building could talk, it would probably say ‘ah, the doors are open, I have some air.’ We know it’s bad, but we also know we can restore it,” Houser said. “There isn’t any reason we can’t take this building and make it what we want to make it. We need to get the roof on, seal it up and then get the mold out. That’s just the first phase. There are two or three more phases in our plan.” Kervandjian has until February 2014 to raze the Garman and Do De. According to Kervandjian, restoring the buildings is simply not practical. “We’re committed to our plan, committed to what we’re doing,” he said. “It’s still a good plan. You don’t need another vacant building here. I don’t think any developer would want that.”

for the claimants. Many, if not all of them, have received checks from the university, the attorneys said over the past two days. The school has set aside some $60 million to pay claims, though several lawyers say the settlements prevent them from disclosing details, including the amounts their clients were paid. “They’re getting the resources they need to navigate hurdles which have been thrown in front of them,” said Harrisburg lawyer Ben Andreozzi, part of a group of four lawyers who have resolved nine claims. They have three other cases, including two that have not been presented to Penn State. “Does it wipe out all their problems? No,” Andreozzi said. “Does it give them the resources they need to get their lives back on track? Yes.” Among those who reached settlements were some who testified at Sandusky’s trial last year. Sandusky, 69, the school’s longtime assistant football coach under Joe Paterno, is serving 30 to 60 years in prison for sexually abusing 10 boys over 15 years. Harrisburg attorney Chuck Schmidt confirmed his client has settled, as did Williamsport attorney Clifford Rieders. “He is a very responsible, thoughtful, intelligent man,” Rieders said Tuesday of his client. “His reaction is that this was a terrible tragedy and he’d like to move on with his life and get the help he needs for a meaningful life.” Rieders said his client was paid Sept. 30. Schmidt said his received a check about two weeks ago.

Philadelphia attorney Tom Kline previously announced his client had settled, as did the Philadelphia firm Ross Feller, which represents seven. St. Paul, Minn., lawyer Jeff Anderson said his two cases remain unresolved, as did a spokeswoman for Baltimore attorney Howard Janet, who represents one claimant. Two other lawyers who have clients in the Sandusky civil claims did not return phone messages. A Penn State spokesman declined to comment, but the school has said it plans to eventually release the number of claimants and the total amount they have been paid. Lawyers for the school say at least 31 have come forward but it’s unclear who some are or whether they have lawyers. Penn State has revamped a long list of policies and procedures as a result of the Sandusky scandal and agreed to a set of penalties from the NCAA over the school’s handling of the matter. Andreozzi said the school has been “moving in the right direction.” “It serves as a model for how institutions can assume some accountability after they make mistakes,” Andreozzi said. Three former Penn State administrators are awaiting trial in Harrisburg for what prosecutors say was a criminal cover-up of complaints about Sandusky. Former president Graham Spanier, former vice president Gary Schultz and former athletic director Tim Curley have all denied the allegations.

Shutdown losing steam, support By DALE McFEATTERS

Scripps-Howard News Service

House Republicans have voted more than 40 times to kill the Affordable Care Act, also known as “Obamacare,” only to be blocked by the Senate’s Democratic majority — not to mention the inevitable presidential veto in the unlikely event the measure ever got as far as the White House. They’ve been roundly mocked for the futility of their repeated tries. But this summer, after huddling privately with outside special interest groups, many with ties to the tea party movement, die-hard opponents of the health care law settled on what seemed to be a sure-fire strategy. They would kill any money in support of Obamacare out of the 12 appropriations bills that fund the government for the fiscal year starting Oct. 1. Obama and the Democrats would have to acquiesce or risk a government shutdown. They didn’t and the government did shut down, with hundreds of thousands of federal employees, presumably those deemed nonessential, furloughed without pay. The plan had big money behind it. Over the weekend, The New York Times reported, “A review of tax records, campaign finance reports and corporate filings shows that hundreds of millions of dollars have been raised and spent since 2012 by organizations, many of them loosely connected, leading opposition to the measure.” If that’s so, somebody is doing very well out of this campaign because the government shutdown is beginning to fray. On Monday, Oct. 6, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel ordered 350,000 furloughed civilian Pentagon employees back to work. A hurricane threat forced the Federal Emergency Management Agency to recall several hundred of its workers. And many lawmakers are finding that federal installations — and their payrolls — in their districts are more essential than they thought. While House Speaker John Boehner continues to put on a brave face, his aides suggest the leadership would settle for something considerably less than complete repeal. Perhaps a year’s delay in the individual mandate for health care or scrapping an impending tax on medical devices — anything the Republicans could portray as a victory of sorts to prove the shutdown wasn’t a complete fiasco. Rep. Martin Stutzman, R-Ind., told the Washington Examiner: “We’re not going to be disrespected. We have to get something out of this. And I don’t know what that even is.” Meanwhile, there were other signs of wavering GOP support for the shutdown. Rep. Dennis Ross, R-Fla., told The New York Times — although he later tried to take back his remarks — that the fight was no longer over the funding of Obamacare: “I think now it’s a lot about pride.” That should come as some consolation to federal workers who have been assured they will eventually get their paychecks.

Can any good come from gridlock? The federal government has taken a break, with national parks and other services shutting down in a showdown over the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as “Obamacare.” House Republicans are refusing to vote to fund the health insurance law; President Barack Obama and Senate Democrats won’t pass a budget that doesn’t include that money. Neither side appears willing to back down. Can anything good come from the shutdown? Are Americans doomed to eternal gridlock in their governance? Columnists Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk debate the issue.

JOEL MATHIS

From a Democratic perspective, one great thing is already happening as a result of the shutdown: Americans are realizing that tea party Republicans, who so ostentatiously proclaim their fealty to the Founders, are dripping with hypocrisy. Consider: Only a few dozen House Republicans are responsible for this shutdown — they amount to less than 10 percent of the total membership of the House of Representatives. Remember, too: The Founders may have loved checks and balances, but they despised the noJoel Mathis, tion that such joelmmathis@ a small minorgmail.com, is a writer in ity might gum up Philadelphia. the governmental works. Here’s Alexander Hamilton, writing in The Federalist Papers, No. 22: “To give a minority a negative upon the majority ... is, in its tendency, to subject the sense of the greater number to that of the lesser. ... (I)ts real operation is to embarrass the administration, to destroy the energy of the government, and to substitute the pleasure, caprice or artifices of

JOEL MATHIS

an insignificant, turbulent or corrupt junto to the regular deliberations and decisions of a respectable majority.” This tyranny of the minority, Hamilton wrote, would result in “tedious delays; continual negotiation and intrigue; contemptible compromises of the public good.” Sound familiar? James Madison agreed, later writing in The Federalist Papers, No. 58, that by letting a minority faction run rogue, “the fundamental principle of free government would be reversed. It would be no longer the majority that would rule: the power would be transferred to the minority.” Madison wrote that the minority faction would be prone “to extort unreasonable indulgences.” Which is where we stand. The House of Representatives passed Obamacare. So did the Senate. The president signed it. The Supreme Court approved its legality. The president then won re-election when enactment of Obamacare was a top issue. At every corner, the law has passed democratic and constitutional muster. If House Republicans can win a repeal vote on the law, let them. They can’t. So they’ve taken the government hostage. It’s an act of hypocrisy and contempt — for democratic norms, for the vision of the Founders and for the wishes of the majority of their fellow citizens.

BEN BOYCHUK

It’s great to see liberals take the Founders’ views seriously. But we don’t need to look back 224 years to recognize how much Obama and congressional Democrats take Americans for a bunch of saps. The federal government has shut down 18 times since 1976 — including several times when Democrats ran both houses of Congress and the White House. Undivided government is no panacea. You’ve heard of the Washington Monument strategy? It’s an old political trick. Congress threatens budget cuts, and an agency — the National Park Service is the classic example — threatens to close a popular attraction first. Turns out, the Washington Monument was closed before this week for

repairs. So officials spent money and manpower they supposedly don’t have to barricade most of the National Mall, including popular memorials. In response, a group of World War II veterans shoved the barricades aside and visited the memorial built in their honor, despite the threat of arrest — if you could imagine such a scene. But the spectacle on the Mall was nothing compared to the one on Capitol Hill. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., couldn’t believe CNN’s Dana Bash would question why Senate Democrats refuse to consider piecemeal funding bills. If it’s so horrible that cancerstricken kids are being denied access to clinical trials, then simply fund the National Institutes of Health — as a bipartisan majority of the House agreed to do this week. “Why would we want to do that?” Reid replied. “I have 1,100 people at Nellis Air Force base that are sitting home. They have a few problems of their own.” But cancer isn’t one. Reid’s response highlights how much of this “crisis” is mere political posturing. Even the term “government shutdown” is misleading. Roughly 80 percent of federal employees are still working. But Ben Boychuk, at some agen- bboychuk@citycies, such as the journal.org, is Education De- associate editor of partment and the City Journal. Environmental Protection Agency, between 90 and 95 percent of workers have been furloughed as “nonessential personnel.” It’s a shame those people have to be pawns in a political game. But the shutdown should lead Americans to wonder if so many federal employees are “nonessential,” perhaps they would be better off in the private sector.

Bard College tests write approach By BILL MAXWELL

Scripps-Howard News Service

Freshman admission to elite colleges and universities has been based on meritocracy, individual ability and achievement of the so-called “best and brightest.” The primary measuring tool has been the standardized test, and the SAT and ACT are the most used. Of course, a lucrative industry charges would-be applicants a lot of money to coach them on subject matter that appears on these tests. Many educators argue that America is SAT- and ACT-obsessed. For decades, increasing numbers of admissions officers, professors and others have argued that these tests are not infallible predictors of how well students will perform academically over time. In fact, the National Association for College Admission Counseling has requested that U.S. colleges and universities re-examine their reliance on the SAT and ACT and expand the use of other admissions tools. Now, Bard College, in Annandaleon-Hudson, N.Y., is the latest prestigious college to join the trend of expanding how it admits first-year students. Beginning this fall, the college will offer the option of four 2,500word research essays for admission. The college, whose tuition is $45,730, will provide the prompts and sources for the essays. Students who earn a B-plus or better will be admitted regardless of high school grades. The SAT and ACT will

remain an option, and the school will keep the Common Application that is used by 415 colleges and universities in the United States. The inclusion of the essay as another route to admission is fitting for Bard, a unique place. While many other institutions bow to the demands of the business community, Bard continues to engage its students in the life of the mind. For that reason, some of the world’s foremost scholars and artists consider it an honor to work there because of its devotion to academic freedom and intellectual experimentation. So why use the research paper as an entrance tool? In a prepared statement, Leon Botstein, Bard’s president of 38 years, explains: “The tradition of high stakes examination, using multiple choice questions, has made the entire apparatus of high school and college entrance examinations bankrupt. Teachers, scientists, and scholars must once again take charge of the way we test. “What the Bard Entrance Examination asks is that students study the source materials and write comprehensively in order to show the quality of their reasoning.” He further explained in The New York Times that the move to the admission-by-essay approach is a “kind of declaring war on the whole rigmarole of college admissions and the failure to foreground the curriculum and learning.” The current system, he said, is

“loaded with a lot of nonsense that has nothing to do with learning.” He said he wants to see the college entrance process return to the “basics” and “common sense.” On its website, the college touts itself as being “a place to think.” This is not just a fancy slogan. It is a concept that defines the essence of the college, and a standardized test alone cannot measure how a young person will respond to the intangibles of the school’s intellectual engagement. Botstein argues that while college prepares young people for careers, it also should teach ways to “connect learning and life in a manner that influences everyday life, including earning a living.” The research essay, therefore, is an effective way to introduce applicants to Bard’s culture and to let them gauge their commitment to the challenges ahead. What about cheating? How will the college know the essays are the students’ own? To use the essay option, Botstein said, students must sign a pledge that the work is theirs and provide a character reference from their school. He told The New York Times that he wants to take the “high road,” trusting that students are being honest. Skeptics and supporters alike will be watching Bard’s experiment. No matter how it turns out over time, evidence long has shown that standardized tests are shutting out many otherwise qualified applicants. Why not try the research essay?

PSU launches online bachelor of arts degree From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — The ability to solve problems, think critically and make reasoned decisions are qualities valued by employers when they hire managers. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, management occupations in areas such as medical and health management and administrative services are projected to grow by double digits in the coming years as the economy continues to rebound. Working adults who want to advance into management roles can acquire the knowledge and skills they need online with Penn State’s new bachelor of arts degree in organizational leadership starting this spring. “The study of leadership has become increasingly important in contemporary society, because of the complexity of the social, economic and political issues people face in our global environment,” said Dennis S. Gouran, professor in charge of Penn State’s organizational leadership program. “This degree offers adults upward mobility into positions of greater authority and responsibility either within their organization or in another organiza-

tion.” Penn State’s College of the Liberal Arts currently offers a bachelor of science degree in organizational leadership. The bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees are delivered online by the World Campus and the core curriculum for both degrees is the same. The bachelor of science degree, which has an enrollment of 520 students, explores leadership from a more operational perspective, explained Gouran. “The bachelor of arts degree has more arts, humanities and other cultures course choices, as well as a language requirement,” said Julia Glover, World Campus lead academic adviser for this program. “Many courses in the bachelor of arts degree emphasize writing and expression of students’ thoughts.” Students who complete the bachelor of arts degree in organizational leadership will be prepared to work in manufacturing, service industries, government, communications, nonprofit organizations, multinational corporations and other employment sectors. Applications are now being accepted for Penn State’s online bachelor of arts degree in organizational leadership.

Bellefonte man turns trash into gardening treasure By ANNE WALKER

correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — Dean Fenton grins as he points to strips of cardboard peeking out from under his rows of squash plants. “Cardboard is good to use because it doesn’t disturb the soil and it keeps down the weeds,� the Bellefonte resident said. Fenton loves his vegetables, but he doesn’t much care for spending hours on end pulling weeds. The cardboard offers a great solution. Fenton feels that the best, most plentiful crops grow from good soil with a good weed defense. And cardboard allows him to give his squash, tomatoes, peppers and greens the best environment possible. Fenton, a native New Englander and retired Penn State professor, brings his Yankee ingenuity to his undertakings. “I put down cardboard a month before I plant,� he said. He cuts the grass short, lays the cardboard on top, covers it with compost and makes a few holes to put plants in. The weeds die in a month or so and he’s ready to plant in a clear spot. Not only do Fenton’s vegetables benefit from the weedblocking effects of his cardboard-lined beds, he gets to repurpose loads of material that would otherwise end up in a landfill. Earlier this year, Fenton had a conversation with Tod Lewis, who owns Caspian Spas. Lewis ends up with plenty of cardboard and other waste materials from the hot tub shipments he receives.

“I couldn’t get rid of trash without having to pay for it at the transfer station,� he recalled. Lewis needed to dispose of cardboard and Fenton needed it. Lewis now turns the former refuse over to Fenton who uses it as the base of his vegetable gardens. Caspian Spas also ends up with quite a few wood pallets, sheets of polystyrene and Styrofoam. Fenton will also take this off of Lewis’ hands and plans to repurpose it, too. He hopes to create a toolshed and a cabin using the large pallets as walls, ceiling and floor. The Styrofoam and polystyrene will make great insulation. He explained that the Styrofoam slabs will fit into the pallets, while he can attach the nearly-indestructible polystyrene to the frames to make the structure airtight. “They’re extra big pallets because they have to support hot tubs. They’re nice because they’re 8-by-8,� Fenton explained. “I put one up and I have a wall.� “If he can use it, it’s better than sticking it in a landfill,� Lewis added. Lewis also pointed out that, with a lower trash cost, he can now pass savings along to customers. Fenton suggested that anyone can go to a business and inquire about materials it may throw out because so much of it can comprise home or garden projects. “I get scrap wood from Room Doctor,� he said, “and they’re the same size and length so I use them for tomato stakes and bean poles. “If people spend time talking to businesses, they’d see great utility for all the stuff that used to go to the dump.�

STATE COLLEGE — State College Presbyterian Church will formally install the Rev. Dean Lindsey at a special service on Sunday, Oct. 20. Lindsey was selected as the new pastor out of more than 400 applicants following the retirement of the Rev. Chuck Curley in December 2010. “I am so pleased about this church’s commitment to college ministry,” Lindsey said. “My first priority of my ministry will be to get to know all of the members of the church — young, old, and in between. There’s such a wide breadth of experiences and backgrounds among the members here.” For the last six years, Lindsey was the head of staff at Community Presbyterian Church in Claredon Hills, Ill. He has also served at churches in Salem, Va., Houston, Texas, and Monroe, La.

Lindsey is a native of New Orleans, and a graduate of Vanderbilt University, Yale Divinity School — where he met his wife, Peggy — and Columbia Presbyterian Theological Seminary. The State College Presbyterian Church DEAN LINDSEY was founded more than 100 years ago in order to serve the spiritual needs of Penn State students. Sunday morning services are offered at 9 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. each week. Childcare is provided for the 9 a.m. service. The church is located at 132 W. Beaver Ave. in State College.

Penns Valley School Board hopefuls speak out By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — About 65 people attended the recent candidates’ night for Penns Valley School Board hopefuls. The Centre Hall Business and Farmers Association sponsored the event. The forum was moderated by Craig Weidenthaler. Candidates participating were Amy Niewinski, Joe Ebeling, Chris Houser, Jeff Hyde, Victoria Brennan, Dave Braucht and Hank Yeagley. Mark Benfer and write-in candidate Garth Gillan chose not to take part. As they entered the auditorium, audience members were given note cards on which to write questions for the candidates to answer. Following the candidates’ personal introductions, Weidenthaler posed the questions. Each candidate was given two minutes to answer each question. Short summations were allowed after the question and answer period. In their introductions, the candidates gave biographical information, and stated their qualifications for school board. Eight-year board veteran Chris Houser noted that Penns Valley has high academic standards coupled with the lowest taxes in Centre County. He advocates maintaining and improving those academic standards. Hyde praised the great sense of community in Penns Valley, and considers it to be a great asset. “Our youth are smart and deserve all of the assistance they can get,” Brennan said. She said she plans to bring transparency and accountability to the board if elected. Yeagley, a Penns Valley resident for 40 years, has been on the board for 10 years. His stated mission has been to serve all students in the district, not just the academically inclined. He also has served on the board of the Central Pennsylvania Institute of Science and Technology in Pleasant Gap. All the candidates stated that they have attended many school board meetings in the past. Several candidates stated their

Niewinski noted that the current construction of new locker rooms was funded entirely by district reserves, requiring no money to be borrowed. During the question and answer period, all the candidates opposed having armed guards in the district’s school buildings. “In view of the way things are happening in our world we can’t continue as if

nothing happened,” said Yeagley. “We don’t have a choice of doing nothing.” He noted that a new, sophisticated security system is being implemented. “Penns Valley is a better school district than it was six years ago,” Niewinsky said. She cited new computer technology, an improved classroom culture and the high caliber of the district’s teachers as reasons for the improvement. Braucht felt that the board leadership has failed in the last two years, and that it is time for a change.

The candidates all agreed that, if absolutely necessary in the future, making cuts would be a very difficult decision. Yeagley noted that “95 percent of what we spend is mandated by the state. We have very little discretionary spending.” Others agreed that no cuts should be made that would adversely affect the academic standards of the schools. Weidenthaler encouraged all citizens of Penns Valley to vote in the coming election, and to support the board, whatever the outcome of the election is.

Fall festival showcases variety of vendors, entertainers By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

AARONSBURG — The village of Aaronsburg held its annual Dutch Fall Festival on Oct. 5 and 6. The event was a combination craft fair, food fest, music show and community yard sale. About 60 vendors, a major increase from last year’s 32 vendors, lined the sidewalks along Route 45 with booths selling handmade items, flowers, produce, antiques and other things. The unseasonable summer-like weather drew a large crowd of attendees which kept the vendors busy throughout the festival. In the craft area, Cathy Lomartire from Cate Tails Creations in Bellefonte, showed a line of decorative items and jewelry fashioned from beads made from strips of recycled paper. Lomartire says that rolling paper beads is a traditional craft that dates back to the early 1900s. “Victorian ladies would gather to make beads, just as they did for quilting and knitting,” Lomartire said. Using scraps of wallpaper, Victorian-era women rolled the pieces of paper on knitting needles to form the beads and then dipped them in paraffin or beeswax to seal them. The beads were then strung together to make beaded curtains to separate rooms. Lomartire’s process is very similar today. She uses knitting needles and wooden skewers, sometimes opting for toothpicks to roll the smallest beads. Her finishing methods have been updated to use urethane varnish instead of wax. She strings the beads to make bracelets and necklaces, often mixed with ceramic or metal beads, creating unique items. Lomartire uses paper from old magazines, church bulletins, newspapers and junk mail. On the festival grounds, food stands were serving homemade ham and bean soup, bread, sticky rolls, sandwiches and fresh cider. Long lines of people were common at the food stands throughout the event. Behind the Penns Valley Area Historical Museum, museum board members were selling their famous apple

The dumplings are a signature food of the Dutch Fall Festival, and are served with a choice of ice cream and syrup. Board members and volunteers gather weeks in advance of the festival and make nearly 1,500 dumplings. Proceeds from the sale benefit the museum. Live music was also featured at the festival. The Coburn Brass Quintet performed on Saturday morning, playing songs from their repertoire of Civil War-era music.

SAM STITZER/For The Gazette

Later, trombonist Jay Vonada performed with his jazz trio. Vonada, an Aaronsburg native, was glad to be playing to his hometown crowd. “This is great,” said Vonada. “The crowd is really getting into it.” The streets, alleys and lawns of Aaronsburg also were filled with many yard sales during the festival. This created a bargain hunter’s paradise, with items of all descriptions being offered for sale.

SPRING MILLS — The citizens of Penns Valley honored a great tradition by celebrating the high school’s annual homecoming last weekend. The homecoming parade was held Oct. 3 at the Grange Fairgrounds in Centre Hall. It stepped off near the Homan Lane entrance, and traveled across the west end of the fairgrounds to the grandstand, which was filled with a record crowd of spectators. “We do a lot of planning before school ever ends,” said parade organizer Shelly Weaver. She noted that prep work for the annual parade begins shortly after Christmas each year. Each year, the senior class chooses a parade theme and grand marshals. This year’s theme was “Rock and Roll,” and the floats reflected that theme with jukeboxes, records, participants in 1950s-era costumes, and even an Elvis impersonator singing the King’s hits.

Pit bull day planned

Parade grand marshals were Don Hosterman and Robert Sauerwein, directors of the Penns Valley High School athletic department. Both graduated from Penns Valley — Hosterman in 1963 and Sauerwein in 1993. A pep rally in the grandstand followed the parade. The Penns Valley Band warmed up the crowd and then emcee Scott Geesey announced the parade float winners. In the Elementary Division, Miles Township (Rebersburg) Elementary School won. In the Middle Level Division, Penns Valley Intermediate School took first place. Girl Scout Troop No. 4 won the Community Organization Division. And, the Penns Valley girls’ volleyball team topped the High School Organization Division. Next, the homecoming queen contestants were introduced.

Nittany Lions suffer first-ever defeat to Indiana By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

sports@centrecountygazette.com

It never happened. Throughout the first half and into the third quarter, the Penn State game at Indiana on Saturday had the feel of a game that at any moment Penn State would take control. The Nittany Lions would get their running game going with a big run, or they would force a turnover — maybe even a defensive score — that would spark a rally and put the well-prepared Hoosiers away. That feeling was enhanced when Christian Hackenberg connected with Allen Robinson for the second time in the game to give Penn State its first lead of the day, 14-13, with just over nine minutes to play in the third quarter. But it never happened. The Penn State running game never did get on track, and the defense never did come through with the big stops that the Lions needed. Instead of a PSU rally, it was Indiana — sparked by a 44-yard touchdown sprint by Tevin Coleman —that put up 29 unanswered points and capped its first-ever win against Penn State by a score of 44-24. After Coleman’s score, the Hoosiers scored three touchdowns in a matter of just over 12 minutes — one on a 2-yard run by dual-threat quarterback Tre Robertson, the next after an acrobatic 36-yard catch of a Nate Sudfeld pass by Kofi Hughes, and finally another run by Robertson, this time from 9 yards out. The last two touchdowns came 12 seconds apart. Penn State did regain some traction when Hackenberg completed a perfect, 14yard touchdown pass to Bill Belton, but there was only 7:44 left to play and the Indiana lead was too big.

As usual, Penn State coach Bill O’Brien pointed to the coaching first when he talked about the loss after the game. “We have a long way to go,” he said, “but we will get back to work on Monday. We have to scheme up some better runs, more diverse, and that starts with the coaches. We have to do a better job there and figure it out. “We have to look at the tape tonight and tomorrow and figure out what we can do better as a coaching staff to put these guys in better positions to run the ball, pass the ball, run better routes, and that starts with me, coaching.” The game began ominously for Penn State when, after winning the toss and electing to receive, the Lions could not move the ball. Instead of lots of running room (Indiana had been giving up over 250 yards per game rushing), Penn State had to fight for every yard against what looked like an inspired and recommitted Hoosier defense that was swarming to the ball and tackling very well. That continued the entire game. Penn State managed only 70 net yards rushing, which forced Hackenberg and the Penn State offense to throw an extraordinary 55 times in the game. Hackenberg did complete a career-high 30 of those attempts for another career high 340 yards and three touchdowns. But without an effective running game, Indiana was able to stack up against the pass and Hackenberg found himself with less and less time to find his receivers. On defense, Penn State could not make stops, and Indiana was able to answer every

FLAT PSU score with one of its own. After Robinson, who caught 12 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns, put the Lions ahead, Coleman’s run seemed to hurt Penn State the most. Indiana sensed a letdown, and after a failed PSU fourth down attempt, a fumbled kickoff, and three quick Hoosier scores, Indiana took control of the game. “It’s a long season,” O’Brien said. “We still have a lot of games left, seven games. I told them (the players) in the locker room that it was a tough day. Give Indiana a lot of credit. They played better than us, coached better than us. It was a tough day, but what are we going to do? We have to go back to work. We have no other choice.” So, where to go from here? With undefeated (5-0) and No. 19 Michigan coming into Beaver Stadium for homecoming on Saturday, things will get no easier for Penn State. Yet, even though he admitted to the difficulties under which the Lions are operating, O’Brien is no less upbeat about this team. “When you look at this football team,” he said, “we have 61 kids on scholarships and 40 walk-ons, can’t go to a bowl, can’t play for a championship — but that’s not an excuse. We have a lot of resilient kids here. They show up for practice and they practice hard. “We lost to a team today that played very well. We didn’t coach well, and because of that, our kids didn’t play very well. Falling, Page 22

Are sanctions to blame for PSU’s failure at Indiana? By BEN JONES

StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — In the wake of Penn State’s 44-24 loss to Indiana, fans have taken to social media to give their two cents as to why the Nittany Lions finally lost to the Hoosiers for the first time in program history. The most common argument? NCAA sanctions. Bill O’Brien would never agree with that publicly. Citing depth as a reason for losing could be true if the team was ravaged with injury, but beyond a few bumps and bruises the Nittany Lions were as healthy — if not healthier — than they have been all year. To blame depth for an entire season’s worth of losses is basically saying that the players on the roster aren’t good enough to win. Even if it is true, no coach is going to say it.

But even if he could say it, would it be true? Penn State’s problems have in large part been the same all year. The defense hasn’t been able to stop offenses that are led by talented passers and the Nittany Lion offense has alternated between lethal and lethargic. So the argument might be that Penn State lacks players to execute at a high level consistently and that depth plays into that. It’s important to remember that physical depth and depth of experience are two separate things. But that isn’t really true either. On offense Penn State boasts a veteran offensive line with capable players waiting in the wings. Christian Hackenberg is as talented a freshman as you’ll see and the running backs have all been around the block before. Allen Robinson is one of the best receiv-

ers in the nation and the Nittany Lions have one of the deepest tight end groups in the country. So deep, in fact, that five-star tight end Adam Breneman rarely sees the field on offense and has mostly made an impact on special teams. So Penn State isn’t lacking for talent or depth on offense, and while the likes of Justin Brown and Silas Redd may have been nice assets to have, neither were ultimately irreplaceable. On defense the story is similar. Penn State’s linebacker depth is an issue because beyond Glenn Carson and Mike Hull, the corps has had little playing experience. Even so, Carson has had a stellar season and Nyeem Wartman and Hull have played well enough that Penn State hasn’t gone to the likes of Brandon Bell or Gary Wooten in desperation; both Bell and Wooten being players O’Brien recruited and has given scholarships to.

Looking at the defensive front, Penn State boasts the 2012-13 Big Ten Freshman of the Year in Deion Barnes, as well as senior DaQuan Jones and juniors C.J Olanlyan and Kyle Baublitz. All of these players were recruited and played for Penn State well prior to the sanctions. The depth in experience behind those players isn’t great but isn’t directly related to the NCAA limiting Penn State’s scholarships. In the secondary, Penn State has O’Brien recruits Jordan Lucas and Trevor Williams, who are both talented and raw. Malcolm Willis has plenty of experience and Adrian Amos is as good as any safety or corner in the conference. Similarly Stephen ObengAgyapong is a seasoned vet who has made the transition to linebacker as well as safety. Ryan Keiser is a walk-on, but was at Penn State well before the NCAA hammer Sanctions, Page 22

The good, the bad and the ugly There was plenty of bad and ugly during Penn State’s 42-24 loss to Indiana on Saturday. There may have been a little good as well. With that in mind, here’s a closer look at the game:

THE GOOD

n Allen Robinson caught 12 passes for 173 yards that included two touchdown passes of 46 and 26 yards. So far this season, Robinson has 51 catches for 621 yards and five touchdowns. He is averaging 124 yards receiving per game. n Christian Hackenberg completed 30 of 55 passes against Indiana for 340 yards, three touchdowns and an interception. Though he probably did not expect, nor even want, to throw that much, the attempts, completions and yards were all career highs.

THE BAD

n Indiana ran up 486 yards of offense against the Lions, including a 23 for 38, 321-yard performance by IU quarterback Nate Sudfeld. Sudfeld spread the ball around to seven different receivers and was especially effective on the short, three-step out patterns and screens.

THE UGLY

n It wouldn’t be surprising that when future Penn State teams look at this Indiana game film, there is a 12- or 13-minute gap from just before Tevin Coleman’s 44-yard touchdown run in the third quarter to just after Tra Roberston’s 9-yard run that made the score 42-17. That stretch contains 29 of Indiana’s points and pretty much tells the story of the first-ever win by Indiana against Penn State.

Sanctions, from page 19 fell and has played well all season prior to his injury. So has depth really hurt Penn State this season? On the recruiting trail it has. Limited scholarships means limited chances to recruit a player who could turn out to be a major contributor. In turn, it also means that maybe Penn State misses out on a player or two unsure of the program’s future. The Nittany Lions had a number of decommitments in the early going, but a slew of Hackenbergs didn’t leave Penn State’s recruiting ranks. There is no certainty that those handful of players would have won Penn State the game on Saturday if they had been wearing blue and white. Could their talent have been helpful? Sure; but in all likelihood they wouldn’t have replaced the majority of the players who saw the field on Saturday. As for practice, the THUD controversy is simply overblown. O’Brien mentioned

October 10-16, 2013

earlier in the season that NFL teams practice with the THUD (no tackling in practice) technique as well as the vast majority of unsanctioned college football programs. THUD became and issue because people learned the name of something that had been going on before O’Brien was ever in town. THUD certainly takes place to ensure that team depth isn’t hurt anymore than it already is, but Penn State didn’t lose to Indiana because of practice techniques. There is no doubt that more scholarships will equal more depth which will equal a stronger team. Being able to offer scholarships to more players means a higher likelihood of finding players that will help the team win. It also means being able to rotate more players into a game and being able to have stronger depth skill wise on the 3rd tier of the depth chart. Luckily for Penn State, the program got time off for good behavior from the NCAA and will take full advantage of that going up to 75 scholarships next year.

INDIANA’S TEVIN COLEMAN breaks loose for a big game during Saturday’s game with Penn State. The Nittany Lions’ Steven Obeng-Agyapong and Jordan Lucas give chase. Sitting at 61 active scholarship players right now is a far cry from the 85 limit set by the NCAA. Even so many teams, including Penn State, have and do operate in the mid to high 70s. So next year, when Penn State will be allowed to have 75 scholarships, the team will have roughly the same number of scholarship athletes it had prior to the sanctions. But in the end, 22 players started the

game for Penn State with the majority having played a significant amount of college football. A good number of the players waiting in the wings behind those 22 were Division I level athletes who had been in the program for over a year. So it’s really pretty simple. Penn State just lost because Indiana was the better team, not because of the NCAA. Why that happened is something O’Brien will have to figure out on his own.

Penns Valley routs P-O in return to the win column, 41-10 By JUSTIN PACKER For The Gazette

SPRING MILLS — With the midway point of the season past, local teams are starting to look for their chances at the postseason. Entering Friday Night’s contest, both Philipsburg-Osceola and Penns Valley found themselves at 1-4 and on the outside of the playoff bubble. Both teams needed a win when the pair squared off in Spring Mills. While P-O found success early, it would be the Rams who found the 41-10 victory and ended a four-game losing streak. “I thought it was a nice win for our kids,” Penns Valley head coach Martin Tobias said. “We needed a win and to come out of this game with a win is a huge boost for our kids.” Miscues helped and hindered each team. “We keep talking about five or six plays in every game that don’t go your way,” Tobias said. “We got our bad plays out of the way early and they didn’t come back to hurt us too badly.” The special teams of the Mounties gave them a leg up early in the first quarter and led to the first score of the evening. After a stalled opening drive by P-O, the punt was muffed by the Ram returner and set the Mounties up just 12 yards from the end zone. After two penalties and a sack, the Mounties were forced to settle on a 42-yard field goal from Nick Boumerhi, giving P-O a quick 3-0 lead. The PV special teams handed P-O another golden chance in the second quarter, as a bad snap on a punt gave the Mounties a first-and-10 from the PV 25 yard line. This time P-O would cross the goalline, thanks to a fiveyard draw by quarterback Curtis Matsko. “Those two miscues helped us garner our points,” P-O head coach Jeff Vroman said. “On the first possession, we had two penalties that hurt us. It was nice to get points out of it though. On the touchdown, the kids did a re-

We were in control and looked good.” With time winding down in the first half and his team down 10-0, quarterback Cameron Tobias led the Rams down the field on a 14-play, 86-yarder right before the horn, which was capped by a 15-yard touchdown reception by Luke Weaver. “I thought we played well in the first half,” Vroman said. “We made them earn every yard in the half. That was the game plan. We knew we could do that.” Coming out in the second half, it was all Penns Valley. Picking up right where they left off in the first half, the Rams quickly marched down the field and Sean Beamesderfer hauled in a 39-yard touchdown pass

from Tobias, giving the Rams their first lead of the night, 14-10. Just two plays later, PV linebacker Hunter Ilgen stepped in front of a pass from Matsko and took it back 24 yards for a Ram touchdown. In under five minutes of game time, PV rattled off 21 straight points and stole the momentum from the Mounties. “That was really nice,” Coach Tobias said. “The touchdown before the half was a huge boost. It gave us the confidence. Everything is easier when you have success. We found it on that drive before the half and rode the momentum through the second half.” The Rams weren’t finished yet, as they tacked on three more

scores in the final quarter. Wyatt Sharpe started the 20point frame for PV with an 8-yard touchdown run. Taylor Collison tacked on another with a 15-yard touchdown run and Tobias landed the final dagger with a 10-yard scamper with a little more than three minutes left to go in the game. “It is a nice boost for our confidence,” Tobias said. “The kids have been working very hard throughout this season and to pick up this win was nice. It is hard when the chips are down to pull yourself back up, but we did. This a team and we rely on each of them. We continue to stress the importance of doing what they need to do to help this team. They pulled together tonight, as

a team.” P-O (1-5) will look to get back on track Friday when the host the Central Dragons (5-1). “We can get down on ourselves,” Vroman said. “We have to keep our heads up and we have to keep fighting. I saw a lot of good things tonight. We have to stay positive. We have a lot of football ahead of us.” The Rams (2-4) hope to build on their momentum as they travel to Rogers Stadium to face the Red Raiders of Bellefonte. “We are staying focused on the game at hand,” Tobias said. “We have Bellefonte this week and we are not looking past this week. We need to have a good week at practice and a solid game plan.”

State High rallies to win thriller, 35-34 By BEN JONES

StateCollege.com

CHAMBERSBURG — For the second straight year State College goes down to the wire against Chambersburg, snatching victory from the hands of defeat, in a 35-34 barn burner. Chambersburg opened the game with a 46-yard strike to begin the scoring 7-0 in front of a buzzing home crowd. The Trojans have posted a 0-9 all-time record against the Little Lions and were looking to reverse the trend on Friday night. State College was not going to go down easily though, and a 13-yard pass from Patrick Irwin to Derek Van Horn capped off a nice drive to tie the game. A 32-yard field goal gave the Trojans a 10-7 lead late in the first quarter. Facing a fourth-and-6 Chambersburg went to its trick bag. Trojan quarterback Ryan Martin passed to JT Hopple who lateraled the ball for the score, extending Chambersburg’s lead 17-7. State College responded quickly. Irwin used his legs to escape a third down sack, running for a 68-yard touchdown. A

missed extra point kept the Trojans ahead by three, 17-14. Chambersburg fired back again connecting on a 23-yard pass to make it 24-13 with just over two minutes to go in the half. The Trojans would take their lead into halftime with both teams having generated well over 200 yards of offense. The Trojans boosted their lead after a State College fumble on the second half’s opening drive giving Chambersburg the ball well inside the Little Lions’ side of the field. Martin tossed yet another touchdown only a few plays later to give Chambersburg a 31-13 lead in the third quarter. State College would respond with a 21-3 run to finish the game. A fumbled punt by Chambersburg later in the quarter gave State College the ball on the Trojan 30-yard line and Irwin scampered into the endzone from that same distance out to cut the Chambersburg lead to only 10. With 11:21 remaining in the game a 29yard field goal gave the Trojans a 34-21 lead and State College looked to be on the ropes with time slowly ticking away. State College would come up short on

fourth down well inside of Chambersburg territory to give the Trojans back the ball, up 13 with 7:32 to go. The Little Lions would get a stop, and a 58-yard strike on third down closed the gap to 34-28 with 3:36 to go. The Trojans couldn’t move the ball when it mattered most on the ensuing drive and were forced to punt. The punt was fumbled and Chambersburg punter Matt Porter would recover the fumble in the end zone for a safety which helped State College cut the lead to 34-30 with 2:44 to go. Down four, State College was able to drive the ball deep but Irwin was intercepted in the end zone with 1:20 to go in the game. In a move that would end up being a crucial mistake, the Chambersburg defender who intercepted the ball chose to return the ball out of the end zone before being tackled at the Chambersburg 2. Chambersburg would take a safety with 54 seconds to go and as a result cut the lead to 34-32. State College received the ensuing kick and was able to line up a 38-yard field goal which kicker Kevin Cramer drilled to give

the Little Lions a 35-34 lead with 15 seconds to play. For State College fans, the night was a reminder of last season’s meeting between the two teams that had an equally dramatic ending. A 97-yard touchdown with 41 seconds remaining gave Chambersburg a 28-24 lead at Memorial Field in 2012, all but ending the game. With one timeout, the Little Lions started deep in their own territory and used the sidelines and a few crisp passes to get the ball inside Chambersburg’s 40-yard line with just less than 20 seconds remaining. With seven seconds left, State High quarterback Andrew Kelly rolled to his left, turned and ran back across the field, throwing a 21-yard dart to a diving Dan Fry who caught the ball to end one of the great games in Memorial Field history. The win tonight improves State College’s record to 3-3 on the year and now a well-earned 10-0 against the Trojans. The Little Lions will return home to take on Central Dauphin East next week. The Trojans fall to 4-2 on the year after another heartbreaking loss that will make State College’s name on the calendar even larger in 2014.

Tyrone grinds out victory over Bald Eagle Area, 14-0 By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

sports@centrecountygazette.com

TYRONE — It looked like Bald Eagle Area had Tyrone stopped. Down by seven points in the third quarter, the Eagles stacked up Tyrone’s James Oliver on a crucial fourth-and-1 fake punt near midfield. A stop would have given BEA excellent field position and a legitimate shot at tying the game. The excited BEA players began pointing and signaling that it was their ball, but when it was spotted, Oliver had gotten the first down by less than the length of a football. It was that kind of night for BEA. Close does not count. Four plays later — including a 33-yard, tipped-pass completion — Oliver dashed 14 yards for Tyrone’s second and final touchdown in the Golden Eagles’ 14-0 Mountain League victory over the Eagles.

It wasn’t the only close play to go against BEA in the game. On Tyrone’s first touchdown drive, quarterback Erik Wagner was nearly sacked twice on a thirdand-goal play from the BEA 5. But Wagner somehow scrambled free, sprinted to his left, and found Jacob Makdad open in the corner of the end zone for the score and a 7-0 Tyrone lead. “It’s a game of inches,” BEA coach Jack Tobias said. “There were four plays there that were less than a yard difference. That’s the thing. We were there and we just have to make those plays. That’s the difference. If we start making those plays, we are going to be beating those teams that we should be beating.” The game was a struggle from the beginning as the defenses from both teams dominated play. Tyrone broke through late in the first quarter with an 11-play, 80-yard drive that ended with Wagner’s scramble and pass to Makdad.

BRYAN GREENE, shown here earlier this season against Penns Valley, had five catches for 72 yards on Friday night at Tyrone. However, the Eagles failed to find the end zone in the 14-0 Mountain League loss. Oliver ran the ball seven times during the drive, with the big gainer a 36-yard scamper down to the BEA 20. For the game, Oliver finished with 30 carries for 174 yards and the third quarter touchdown. “He has phenomenal leg drive,” Tobias said about Oliver. “He has great vision, but I thought we did a good job of containing him. We didn’t give him a lot of big runs. He got some 5-, 6-, 7-yarders. “He’s just a tough kid, and earlier in the game we were tackling him high. In the second half, at least what I was seeing, guys were starting to tackle him low and get on his legs. A guy like that you need to tackle him low and get multiple guys on the ball.” BEA, meanwhile, was being saddled with poor field position and forced to go on long marches. The Eagles did mount drives of 53 and 30 yards in the first half,

but both eventually stalled and ended in punts. With the BEA defense holding — keyed by a big Bryan Greene interception that stopped a Tyrone threat — the Eagles went into the locker room down just 7-0. “I thought we did a pretty good job defensively,” Tobias said. “We were able to slow them down and stick with them. We rotated a lot of guys in — we had a few guys hurt — and some younger guys who hadn’t played before stepped up and had good games for us. So we build depth tonight.” The second half turned on those two extremely close plays. BEA held Tyrone to just 8 total yards during its first two possessions and had the Golden Eagles stopped again on the BEA 48. But Oliver just squirmed for the first down at the 47.

Stratton runs wild over Raiders By CHRIS MORELLI

editor@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — Bellefonte’s schedule is one of the most difficult in Centre County. This week, the Red Raiders faced their biggest test of the season in the form of undefeated Clearfield. The Bison boast one of the best players in central Pennsylvania in the form of quarterback Christian Lezzer. Lezzer, a Boston College recruit, didn’t play QB on Friday night against the Red Raiders at Rogers Stadium, yet he still made an impact in a 49-13 Clearfield victory. Clearfield head coach Tim Janocko explained that Lezzer was a little “banged upâ€? entering Friday night’s game, so he toned down his role for the game against winless Bellefonte. “Christian has been carrying the ball 27, 28 times a game,â€? Janocko noted. “We felt tonight was a chance to give him a little bit of a rest. He still carried the ball some, but we made the decision if we didn’t have to do some things with him we weren’t going to.â€? Although he didn’t play quarterback, he still scored twice. He had touchdown runs of 12 and 5 yards in the first half as the Bison (6-0) opened up a 49-7 halftime lead. For the Red Raiders (0-6), it was another frustrating week. The injuries are beginning to mount for a squad already low on numbers. “We are just nicked up right now,â€? said Bellefonte firstyear coach Shanon Manning. “We dressed 26 kids ‌ that’s just where we’re at right now. We need to get healthy. If we can get healthy, we’ll get headed in the right direction.â€? On Friday night, the Red Raiders found themselves in an early hole. Tyler Stratton scored twice for the Bison in the opening stanza to give the visitors a 14-0 lead just a couple of minutes into the game. The scores came just 54 seconds apart. With Lezzer out as quarterback, Janocko got creative. “We put a new wrinkle in and lined (Stratton) up at quarterback. We want to keep teams wondering what we’re going to do, and it helps being able to do that. He’s very versatile,â€? Janocko explained. With a quick 14-0 lead, the Bison were ready to kick things into cruise control. Bellefonte had other ideas. Following Stratton’s 13-yard TD run, the Red Raiders hit paydirt on the ensuing kickoff. Austin Jackson broke loose for a 93-yard touchdown to make it 14-7. It was interesting, at least for awhile. “(Jackson) made a great run there,â€? Janocko said. “We had to get our poise back.â€? Down by a score, Manning said he felt pretty good. “Absolutely,â€? he said. “But then we turn around and turn the ball over right near our end zone. You give them a short field.â€? Following a Mark Armstrong fumble, the Bison wasted no time converting the turnover into points. Lezzer scored on a 12-yard run to make it 21-7. Then, with just 36 seconds left in the opening frame, Stratton broke loose for a 57-yard touchdown. Just like that, it was 28-7. While the first quarter was bad, it was only about to get worse for the Red Raiders. Clearfield added three scores in the second stanza. Lezzer scored on a 5-yard run, as did Stratton. The Bison also got their first touchdown pass of the game, a 40-yard hookup from backup Erik Sellers to Ryan Lezzer. It was 49-7 at the intermission. “The first half really got out from under us,â€? Manning said. Stratton finished the game with 204 yards on 10 carries. In the second half, Bellefonte got a 20-yard touchdown run from Nick Leiter to make it 49-13. But that was as close as the Red Raiders would get to one of the state’s best. “Their overall speed is tough to match,â€? Manning said. “What makes it even more difficult is that it’s tough to simulate in a practice. You can talk about it, but you can’t simulate it.â€? Bellefonte will get another chance to break into the win column this week when it hosts Penns Valley on homecoming.

Bald Eagle, from page 24 Two plays later, Wagner threw a long pass down the right sideline that appeared to be tipped by Greene before Silas Crawford bobbled it and finally hauled it in on the BEA 14 for a 33-yard gain. On the next play, Oliver took it right up the middle, and the Golden Eagles were ahead by two scores. BEA had three more possessions, but it was unable to mount a threat and the game ended 14-0. The loss drops BEA to 3-3 for the season with Huntingdon coming in on Friday for a big homecoming showdown. “We are on that hump,� Tobias said, “and we just have to get over it. It’s little things, and I keep telling these guys they are getting better every week. Now we just got to keep pushing. Next week, we have a big game. It’s homecoming, and we got to get fired up and pumped up and get a win there.�

Week 7: Area teams gear up for stretch run By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

sports@centrecountygazette.com

As we head into the second week of October, several Centre County schools have the postseason on their minds. To make a serious run at the postseason, they’ll need a perfect October. A closer look at this week’s games:

CENTRAL DAUPHIN EAST (3-3) AT STATE COLLEGE (3-3)

Anything anyone wants to know about the resilience of the State College Little Lions can be found in last Friday’s game against Chambersburg. After suffering a season low in a 34-0 loss to Central Dauphin in Week 5, the Little Lions were down 31-13 against Chambersburg midway through the third quarter. Somehow, State College regrouped, kept fighting, and emerged with a lastminute, 35-34 win on a 38-yard Kevin Cramer field goal. State College trailed, 34-28, with just over three minutes to play, but the Little Lions got two safeties — one intentional — to pull to within 34-32 with 54 seconds left, and then used a 44-yard kickoff return by Jordan Misher to move into position for Cramer’s kick. It was the second year in a row that SC beat Chambersburg in the last seconds of play. Now, 3-3 Central Dauphin East comes into State College for another Mid-Penn contest on Friday night. East has beaten Shippensburg, Susquehanna Township and Carlisle, but it lost to defending state champion Coatesville, Cumberland Valley and Harrisburg. East relies heavily on the run, but it has thrown for 390 yards this season and four touchdowns. Brandon Ross is the leading quarterback — Jahad Neibauer and Justis Jacobs have also played the position — and he has 19 completions in 38 attempts for 170 yards and a touchdown. On the ground, running back Chase Edmonds leads CDE with over 150 yards per game, and he is backed up by Reakwon Purdy and Tabius Walker. For State College, quarterback Patrick Irwin is a dual threat for the Little Lions. Irwin rushed for over 100 yards and passed for more than 200 against Chambersburg. Misher is the leading rusher, and he also is a threat in the return game. Outlook — Another close Mid-Penn game for SC, but the Little Lions gained mountains of confidence against Chambersburg and that should carry over

through this game. Kickoff at Memorial Field is set for 7 p.m.

PENNS VALLEY (2-4) AT BELLEFONTE (0-6)

Penns Valley broke a four-game losing streak with a 41-10 win over PhilipsburgOsceola last Friday night. The Rams fell behind 10-0, but then rallied for 41 unanswered points to bring in its second win of the season. Penns Valley can score points in a hurry. With quarterback Cam Tobias, who threw for 264 yards against P-O, running back Taylor Collison, and receivers Luke Weaver, Sean Beamesderfer, and Collison, the Rams have been averaging just under 40 points per game in their last three outings. Bellefonte, meanwhile, faces another uphill test. The Red Raiders are in the middle of a nasty string of games that included Tyrone, Clearfield and Penns Valley this week, and then at Central and BEA. Quarterback Mark Armstrong, runners Doylan Deitrich, Storm Smith and Jon Kerschner, and senior receiver Nick Leiter lead the Raider offense, but it is on defense that Bellefonte will need to concentrate if it is to keep this game close. Outlook — Bellefonte will exert a maximum effort in this cross-town rivalry, but Penns Valley may score too many points for the Raiders to keep up. Kickoff at Rogers Stadium is scheduled for 7 p.m.

HUNTINGDON (3-3) AT BEA (3-3)

It will be homecoming at BEA on Friday when Huntingdon visits Wingate, and the Bearcats will be looking to be very ungracious guests. Coming off two impressive wins in its last two games — 34-28 over Penns Valley and 55-41 over Central Mountain — Huntingdon has only two losses in the Mountain League. And they were able to put up 30 points in the loss at Clearfield on Sept. 20. Hudson Speck is the quarterback for Huntingdon, and he has been completing 44 percent of his passes for an average of 90 yards per game and eight touchdowns. But Hundingdon lives on its ground game. The Bearcats run for more than 250 yards every time out and they have scored 18 rushing touchdowns. Devon Claar (527 yards), Mitchell Lauer (461) and Rhett Stetchock (330) lead the ground attack, with Dakota Peters and Jacob Oliver also contributing. Claar, Lauer and Jon Wagner are the

leading receivers. BEA is coming off a razor-close loss at Tyrone. The Eagles were more than competitive with Tyrone, and except for three or four close plays that went against them, were right there all night. It was, however, BEA’s third loss in a row after it began the season 3-0. With playoffs not that far down the road, the Eagles do not want to fall below .500. Huntingdon is in exactly the same position, so this is an important game for both teams. Outlook — Too close to call. This game will likely go deep into the fourth quarter and the winner will be the one that makes the fewest mistakes. Kickoff in Wingate is scheduled for 7 p.m.

CENTRAL (4-2) AT PHILIPSBURG-OSCEOLA (1-5)

Philipsburg took a 10-0 lead on Penns Valley on Friday, but the Mounties threw two interceptions and fumbled six times (lost two) and PV scored 41 unanswered points to take the win. This week, Central’s all-everything duo of Austin Cunningham and Bradi Moore come into Philipsburg with a 4-2 record that includes wins over PV, Tyrone and Bald Eagle Area. The Dragons lost a non-league game to Fort Hill last week, but they are still very much in the hunt in the Mountain League race. For the Mounties, Curtis Matsko, Dustin Shuey, Nick Patrick, Mason Pryde and Aaron Mason lead the offense, but the big problems against Central will come on defense. Outlook — With P-O, it usually seems

to be a matter of mistakes and turnovers, so improvement there will be a must. And slowing down Cunningham and Moore will be no easy task. Kickoff at P-O is scheduled for 7 p.m. In other games of interest around the state, Central Columbia and Central Mountain clash, St. Joe’s visits Kane, Bethel Park takes on Upper St. Clair in a key WPIAL contest, and Whitehall visits Allentown Central Catholic. All of those games are slated for 7 p.m. Friday.

Bald Eagle Area celebrates 50th anniversary By JOHN DIXON

sports@centrecountygazette.com

WINGATE — To honor Bald Eagle Area’s first undefeated football team, players and coaches from that 1963 season will be introduced Friday, Oct. 11, during halftime of BEA’s game against Huntingdon at Alumni Stadium in Wingate. Formed in 1952, the Bald Eagle Area School District is the largest, geographically, of the four school districts located entirely in Centre County. BEA is comprised of the boroughs of Howard, Milesburg, Port Matilda, Snow Shoe and Unionville, and the townships of Boggs, Burnside, Howard, Huston, Snow Shoe, Union and Worth, and encompasses nearly 343 square miles. Before the BEA merger became a reality, there were rivalries between the larger of the communities within the school district. Howard and Port Matilda and all the areas between the two had their own schools and a natural rivalry among one another. But, success on the playing field in all sports enabled the various factions to meld into one successful sports team. “Number one, we had fantastic coaching in the early days of the jointure,” explained former quarterback Paul Haas. The prelude to the first undefeated team was when the Eagles posted a 7-1-1 record in 1962 under head coach Ron Signorino. In addition to Signorino, the BEA staff included assistant coaches Al Hagg and Ken McMullen and junior high coaches Jim Settle and Joe Kustenbauter. Teamwork made a difference, too. “The Eagles (had) to work as a single unit no matter where the players called home. And back in those days we didn’t have an activities bus like they do today. Back in the 60s, if you stayed after school for practice you had to find your own way home. Thankfully we had parents, coaches, friends, you name it, that would be able to pick us up for a ride home,” said Haas Going into the 1963 season, BEA had 20 underclassmen who would form the nucleus of its undefeated team. “We had a tremendous amount of athletes in that huge group of underclassmen that were so successful in junior high and then junior varsity. We just knew from our success in 1962 that our senior year could be something very successful,” said Haas, who is one of the driving forces behind this weekend’s reunion. The team consisted of seniors Haas, Barry Ellenberger, Tom Grieb, Mike Condo, Jay Doherty, Joel Weston, Bill Pletcher, Dick Taylor, Joe Guyer, Ken Hall, Dan Riser, Terry Dorman, Dan Yearick, Larry Weaver, Criss Brower, Larry Dyke, John Glasgow, Gary Weaver, Gary Confer and Gary Dyke. Juniors were Bob Watson, Gene Confer and Bob Long. Sophomores were Andy Confer, Bob Stonebraker and Terry Yearick. “What was amazing about that ‘63 team was we played several juniors that got a lot of playing time as well as three key sophomores that played a lot, and went on to be terrific athletes,” Haas said of the makeup of the squad. The Eagles undefeated run included beginning the season with five wins over Bald Eagle-Nittany, Lock Haven, State College, Moshannon Valley and West Branch. After that great start, BEA ran into a determined Chief Logan team, now part of the Mifflin County team, and the game ended in a 26-26 tie with Chief Logan on the BEA 1-foot line when the clock clicked to all zeros. The tie would be the only slight blemish on Bald Eagle’s season of 8-0-1. Following the disappointing tie, BEA would stop Bellefonte on Mike Condo’s 76-yard run, and end the undefeated season with a 42-6 romp over Tussey Mountain and a 20-13 win over Jersey Shore. Haas credits the Eagles’ ability to sustain long drives in all of their games that led to Bald Eagle Area wearing down the opposing defenses en route to the undefeated season and a two-year run of 15-1-1. “We were able to put together 10, 11 play drives and if we stalled out we had a Division I punter in Barry Ellenberger,” explained Haas. “Ellenberger averaged over 40 yards a punt and was able to hang the punts long enough for the punt team to get in position to make sure there would be no return. The only punter I’ve ever seen that was Barry’s equal in this area was (late Bellefonte coach) Bill Luther’s son (Bob) and he could really boom the kicks.”

But when push came to shove, it all came down to the role Condo would play. As Condo went, so went the Eagles. “Gee, he must have had 10 or 11 runs over 50 yards during that season for touchdowns,” Haas said of Condo’s exploits. “And if he didn’t break loose for long runs, we would hit him with a little swing pass and he would go the distance, sometimes 60, 70 yards. With Mike, it didn’t matter if he scored through the air or on the ground, he could and did it all.” Under first-year coach Signorino, the 1962 Eagles knew they had something special with the innovations of their new coach. It would follow them into the 1963 season. “We entered 1963 on a six-game winning streak,” explained Haas. “And (we) knew we could have an even better year with all of the key pieces still intact. That team really set us up to have an even better year. Players like Rabie Daughenbaugh, Jerry Spackman and Andy Burns ... I could name more but the foundation was built to have an even better year in ’63 than what happened in ’62. “What a lot of people don’t understand about those early years was we were a football team in name only,” explained Haas. “There was no stadium at Wingate. We would practice at Howard and the players would come from all over the district for practice. Remember, the school district went beyond Port Matilda, Howard, Snow Shoe, Pine Glen, etc. We covered a lot of territory for such a small school. “But I credit the coaching staff for being able to put all those different areas within the school district and create one fantastic football team,” said Haas. What made the BEA football team’s coaching so successful was the offensive and defensive strategy that the Eagles incorporated into their game plans that was patterned off of Bud Wilkinson’s Oklahoma Sooners teams of the 50s and 60s. “Oklahoma’s Bud Wilkinson’s philosophy of football

was an emphasis on running far more plays than their opponents, allowing them to dictate the pace and tempo of the contest,” said Haas “This up-tempo, hard-charging offensive philosophy of not huddling to call the plays is a logical extension of what our coaching staff took from Oklahoma’s playbook.” Haas and Ellenberger, BEA’s other quarterback, called all their own plays to perfection and success. “We used those innovations that stretched back to coaching legend Bud Wilkinson’s adoption of a hurry-up offense in the mid-1950s,” said Haas. “We called our offense the ‘fireball’ but it was basically the same as what Oklahoma ran and obviously it was successful. While the offense ran a ‘fireball’ offense, inside-outside belly series, the defense relied on the basic 5-2 defense that was also patterned off Oklahoma.” “Our coaches felt that when we had the ball, there was no reason to let defenses go into a huddle and call a play against us,” Haas said of the Eagles offensive prowess. “The so-called ‘hurry-up’ offense that everybody did in the last two minutes of a half there was no reason not to do that for the whole game. We just had to be in better shape and that’s why we where so successful. We always felt we were in better shape than our opponents.” Coach Signorino would depart the Bald Eagle valley after the winning 1963 season, posting a 15-1-1 two-year stint. He moved to New Jersey, where he coached Toms River South for nearly 16 years and became a member of the New Jersey Hall of Fame. Player Mike Condo would become Bald Eagle Area’s first-ever all-state athlete in any sport and a Big 33 player. He went on to start for three years at the University of Minnesota. The Gophers won their last Big 10 title during Condo’s senior season. BEA’s only other undefeated season came more than 20 years later, when the 1985 Eagles posted a 10-0-1 record.

Penn State hockey team begins new era By JOHN PATISHNOCK

ing goals, blocking shots, anything we can do.”

sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Between the first-class features and the tremendous community feedback, Guy Gadowsky and his players gave the impression it was all worth the wait. Gadowsky, the head coach of the Penn State men’s hockey team, is on the verge of leading the Nittany Lions into a historical season. First season in the Pegula Ice Arena. First season in the Big Ten conference. And the first time since the 1940s that Penn State hockey will compete as a Division I sport. Not surprisingly, Gadowsky can’t seem to go anywhere without seeing or reading about how excited Happy Valley is for the season to start. “It’s been phenomenal,” Gadowsky said of the community reaction during the team’s media day recently. “It’s been everything we’ve expected and probably exceeded our expectations. If you speak to any of the staff that goes out recruiting, we receive as much excitement outside State College as we do inside State College, even across the border. “There are a lot of people very excited about what’s going on; very curious about what’s going on. But to see that happen right here in State College, the response of the student body, the response from the community with tickets and season tickets, it’s awesome.” The team’s new digs have a lot to do with that. Between a state-of-the-art shooting room, a players’ lounge that boasts comfortable chairs and couches, a ping-pong table and nutritional drinks, and a spacious weight room, players expect to spend much more time inside their home arena. “It is a beautiful rink,” redshirt junior defenseman Nate Jensen said. “For a fan, there is no bad seat in the house. For us, there is a playground down here to get better. The weight room is awesome. The locker room has very easy access for us to do what we have to do before games.” “We had extremely high expectations so it is certainly everything that we expected,” Gadowsky added. “I think personally, and I’m sure I can speak for the players and our staff as well, that we just can’t wait to see the atmosphere that first night that this student body creates. Every time you take a look around this arena, you stop and look at this student section and it’s really hard not to imagine how great it’s going to be. I think the building has exceeded our expectations. I think it’s beautiful. I think it’s great for our players to develop, but we won’t really know what it’s like until we see the atmosphere on Oct. 11.”

RETURNING FIREPOWER

Penn State, which finished 13-14 last year as an independent, returns its top four point-scorers from a year ago: sophomore forwards Casey Bailey (14 goals, 13 assists) and David Glen (16 goals, nine assists) and redshirt junior forwards Max Gardiner (three goals, 19 assists) and Taylor Holstrom (nine goals, eight assists). “I think all three of us kind of go in with the expectation that that’s what (Coach Gadowsky) brought us in to do, to put those points up,’ Bailey said of himself, Gardiner and Glen. “I think that’s something we strive to do each game. We try to help the team out any way we can, if that’s scor-

GOALTENDING COMPETITION

Sophomore Matthew Skoff and junior PJ Musico provide experience. Skoff finished last year 9-8 with .921 save percentage and 2.48 goals against average, while Musico ended at 4-6, .899 and 3.22. Freshman Eamon McAdam gives the team a third option, and Gadowsky said it still isn’t certain how often any one of them will play. “We don’t have any preconceived notion about how it’s going to play out,” Gadowsky said. “We’re really going to let the goaltenders handle that. We’re very, very fortunate. We’re really young, but I think we’re really good, too. Is it a negative that we don’t have an established guy? I don’t know. I don’t think so. I think it’s positive that we have three very capable goaltenders. If you talk to the best goaltenders, I think that’s the way they like it. They don’t like necessarily just anything handed to them.” “Throughout the year, we are going to work with each other,” Skoff added. “We are a team here. Of course there are individual battles, but at the end of the day, you come to Penn State to compete with the best and right now we have three of the better goalies in the NCAA right now.”

NO COMPARISON

The first question posed to Gadowsky during his Q&A asked him to compare this year’s team to last year’s Nittany Lions squad. He couldn’t. This was partly because he still hadn’t officially overseen a practice — hockey teams are allowed only six before the season opener — and he noted the offseason work the players put in is especially important in the run-up to the season. “As far as the team on the ice, we really don’t know,” Gadowsky said. “We’re allowed very limited time with them on the ice so our viewings have been very limited, but I can tell you that as a program those two years that we had leading up to the Big Ten were extremely important. We talked a lot about building a foundation and certainly something our players understood. Tommy Olcyzk understood it very well from his recruiting trip and he’s been very instrumental in building a foundation. So in terms of that, how we represent ourselves, our work ethic, which is on the ice, off the ice, in the classroom, is all at a much better level.” Olczyk, a junior forward and the team’s captain, is one of 18 letter winners the team returns; Penn State also lost eight such players from a year ago. Glen and Jensen are assistant captains “Obviously, it’s a big honor for me,” Glen said. “I just tried to come in last year. I wasn’t really sure what my role on the team would be. I tried to contribute any way I could and, like I said, it’s just an honor and I’m extremely blessed to be able to wear it this year.”

‘BIG’ CHANGE

More than any other subject, the topic of playing a Big Ten regular-season schedule permeated the media room last week. How do you prepare for no off-nights? How do you stay mentally and physically ready every night? Do you feel like an underdog heading into the season? The players and Gadowsky didn’t seem worried about having to put in the necessary work and adjustments. Instead, they sounded excited and eager for the opportunity to usher in this new era of Penn State hockey.

“You’ve got to bring the same attitude each and every night,” Gardiner said. “There’s going to be nights when you’re not as good but that’s what we got our teammates for. We have to support each other and back each other up.” It also helps that some of the players, such as Skoff, have already faced some of the opposing players they’ll see this year. “A lot of us played in the (United States Hockey League) and the (British Columbia Hockey League); and a lot of the Minnesota teams and the Michigan teams, we have played against them since first year junior, so it is not going to be like we go into their place and are shocked,” Skoff said. “We have played against a lot of those kids throughout our careers already.” Additionally, Penn State has already faced some Big Ten Hockey, Page 29

PSU women’s hockey team aims to make strides By JOHN PATISHNOCK

STRENGTH IN GOAL

sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Easy. Smooth. Unchallenging. These are words most people wouldn’t use to describe the way last year unfolded for the Penn State women’s ice hockey team, the first season in which the Nittany Lions competed on the Division I level. Penn State ended last year 7-26-2, including a 1-172 mark in the College Hockey America Conference, but coach Josh Brandwene and his players aren’t feeling uneasy. Nor are they wondering how they’re going to rebound. The Nittany Lions don’t have to cobble together pieces of talent or experience that’s intermittently located on the roster. Penn State returns 24 letter winners, including its top scorer from a year ago and many other contributors, so a big bounce back season might be easily within reach. “Everything we did last year, all the challenges we faced, all the adversity that we dealt with has made this group incredibly resilient and incredibly gritty,� Brandwene said. “That’s to their credit as individual student athletes and collectively as a team. And this is the next step in the process. We’re still young; we have a tremendous opportunity in front of us. We feel like we have something to prove this year. But again, we’re still young so we’ve got nothing to lose. It’s the greatest place in sports to be in when you’re hungry, you’ve got that look, you’ve got something to prove, nothing to lose. And we really can’t wait to get started.� Penn State returns plenty of contributors, including sophomore forward Shannon Yoxheimer, who led the team last year in goals (14), assists (17), points (31) and shots (169); the numbers earned her a spot on the conference’s all-rookie squad. A plethora of capable teammates join her, as six other Nittany Lions accrued at least 10 points last year: senior Taylor Gross (seven goals, 15 assists), junior Jess Desorcie, and sophomores Jill Holdcroft (10 goals, two assists), Hannah Hoenshell (nine goals, five assists), Emily Laurenzi (four goals, seven assists) and Jordin Pardoski (three goals, seven assists). “It’s been completely different from where we were last year because now we kind of now what we’re doing and a lot of us are a lot more experienced,� Holdcroft said. “It’s huge,� Brandwene added of the returning production. “You can even see the elements of that in training camp right now, in terms of our learning curve and the pace in which we’re able to do things. They have been great in terms as we’re going over stuff. If a new player has a question, we’re not answering it, they’re answering it. That’s exactly what I was hoping for going into a second season. You see it every day at the rink.� Hockey, from page 28 competition, finishing 3-2 last year against Michigan State, Ohio State and Wisconsin. “Last year, we surprised a lot of people in the hockey world,� Skoff said. “Just coming in as a first-year program, to do as well as we did in the Big Ten, going 3-2, I think that speaks volumes as to what (Coach Gadowsky) has done with this team and the work we have put in. I think going forward here, we are going to get some serious winning down.� The entrance into the Big Ten and the construction of Pegula has merged to create a built-in recruiting advantage. Gadowsky said people across the country are aware of the strides Penn State is making, and the exposure isn’t limited to the states. When assistant coach Keith Fisher visited British Columbia on a recruiting trip, people approached him, expressing excitement

Senior Nicole Paniccia finished ninth in the NCAA in save percentage a year ago at .928. She finished 6-19-2 with a 3.11 goals against average; she also stopped the second most shots in the NCAA at 1,028. “She works so hard at her craft in terms of her goaltending, she is never satisfied,� Brandwene said. “She has a tremendous work ethic, she’s always looking to make whatever little improvements she can. Certainly her results last year speak for themselves, in terms of not only what she did statistically for us, but the leadership and experience she provided as a veteran at the Division 1 level on a young team. So she’s just great to work with.� Two sophomores, Brooke Meyer and Celine Whitlinger, also are available. Whitlinger played in 10 contests a year ago, finishing 1-7 with a .938 save percentage. Meyer saw time in three games, stopping all 17 shots she faced. “Everybody is just super excited,� Paniccia said. “It’s been a long wait for the rink to be here and it’s finally here and we’ve got our brand new team. We’re all just really excited to get on the ice and start our first game.�

DIVERSIFIED LEADERSHIP

Gross earned the captain’s honors, while defenseman Lindsay Reihl, a graduate student, senior Jenna Welch (four goals, three assists), and Pardoski were each named assistant captain. “Overall, we’re really pleased with our leadership group,� Brandwene said. “What I love about it is their diverse personalities. They all lead in their own way, they all lead by example, they work hard, they work hard in the classroom, they work hard on the ice. And then we have folks who are a little more quiet, a little more into the oneon-one conversation, peer-to-peer with players. And we’ve got others who are really powerfully emotional and very vocal and you need a little bit of both because everybody on the team has different personalities and are going to respond and connect with different people in a different way. So I feel really good about the job the leadership group has done.�

SCHEDULE

Even though Penn State won’t play a complete Big Ten schedule, the Nittany Lions will battle recognizable nonconference opponents Ohio State and Princeton; the Nittany Lions will also play Syracuse, which is a CHA opponent. Penn State’s 34-game, regular-season slate includes 17 contests at Pegula, with the home opener set for Friday, Oct. 18, against Union. “We have a great league schedule and that will always be the case every year, developing rivalries with those opponents and I love everything about our non-conference schedule,� Brandwene said. “We’re going to get tested by

over the players they knew who committed to Penn State. Players said competing in the Big Ten doesn’t add any extra pressure because they already had high expectations for the program once they decided to play for Penn State. There are certain things that go unsaid, Bailey noted, meaning the returning players don’t have to tell the freshmen what’s expected of them at Penn State. As Bailey said, “I think they know once you put that crest on your chest, you know you have to go out there and give 110 (percent). It’s a hard working program; I think any of the sports are the same way. I think it takes a lot of pride to come out here and represent Penn State, and a lot of guys are looking forward to having that honor.� Now they get to do it in a nationally renowned conference, on national television and in front of sell-out crowds. It’s setting up to be a season

no one at Penn State will ever forget. “The fact that we now have a Big Ten Conference is huge,� Gadowsky said. “There’s a battle across the border. We try to get the best hockey players in North America and beyond and part of our competition is major junior hockey. Until this year it was very difficult for people across the border to get educated about college hockey and the exposure that the Big Ten hockey conference is going to bring is going to be great for that battle and is going to be great for educating everybody about what college hockey is all about. “I think when you see the Big Ten rivalries, the excitement is going to be phenomenal. I think the intensity is going to be phenomenal. I think you’re going to see the best college hockey games that you have and it’s going to be broadcast live across North America so it’s a very important thing for all of college hockey.�

COMING TOGETHER

In addition to returning so many of last year’s players — Penn State lost only three letter winners — the Nittany Lions welcome four freshmen: forward Laura Bowman, forward Sarah Nielsen, forward Amy Petersen and defenseman Kelly Seward. Brandwene didn’t cite a specific number of wins that would make this season a success. Instead, he talked about rebounding from a season in which his team lost 12 games by one or two goals. Between the returning expertise and the incoming talent — Brandwene said all four freshmen have displayed a great work ethic and a positive attitude — the entire Penn State team feels it’s on the verge of something special. This season is just the right time for it.

On Oct. 15, the State Theatre will celebrate 75 years of being in its current building at 130 W. College Ave. in State College. The building, producing artistic director Richard Biever said, was constructed by Warner Bros. for movie showings. In 2001, however, the space became a “mixed venue theater” Biever said, and now has live performances as well as movie screenings from both national and local mediums. “It’s really a community arts center,” he said. “We’re here for the community and here with a balance of programming.” Many Penn State student groups and organizations also utilize the State Theatre for various productions when campus venues are booked, Biever said.

Dinosaur Train comes to Eisenhower Oct. 25 From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — Join Buddy, Tiny, Shiny, Don and all of their friends and family in an upbeat, interactive and multimedia trip to the Mesozoic. “Jim Henson’s Dinosaur Train: Live! Buddy’s Big Adventure,” on stage at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 25, in Penn State’s Eisenhower Auditorium, travels back in time to an imagined age when dinosaurs roamed the earth and rode in trains. The stage production is based on “Dinosaur Train”, the Jim Henson Company-produced PBS Kids program that embraces the fascination children have with both trains and dinosaurs. Buddy is a young Tyrannosaurus Rex living happily in the Pteranodon family nest. But what makes Buddy a part of this family? And, what will happen when he gets bigger and can’t fit in the nest? Seeking answers to Buddy’s questions, the Pteranodons hop aboard the Dinosaur Train and set off on an adventure to see King Cryolophosaurus. But the King turns out to be missing. Will Buddy and the gang find him? Will Buddy discover what makes him such an important part of the Pteranodon family? Take a ride on the Dinosaur Train and find out. From giant King to teeny Tiny, Buddy’s Big Adventure brings the TV program’s characters to life in an original and musical story in which the audience is part of the action. The stage show features hybrid puppeteered costume characters, a live host, projected backgrounds and vistas, special effects and a full-sized replica of the Dinosaur Train. Kids Connections, which is free for ticket holders and includes a craft-centered, child-friendly activity provided by WPSU, takes place in Eisenhower one hour before the show. Due to space and time restrictions, Kids Connections participation is limited. Get on board early by watching the Dinosaur Train TV series weekdays at 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. on WPSU-TV Channel 3.

‘The high priests of brass’ to perform at Schwab From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — American Brass Quintet, winner of this year’s Chamber Music America’s highest honor, will perform works from the Renaissance to the 21st century in a concert at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 30, in Penn State’s Schwab Auditorium on the University Park campus. The performance is the cornerstone of a three-day residency at Penn State that includes a variety of free events at the University Park and Altoona campuses. The concert, part of the Center for the Performing Arts Classical Music Project, features Renaissance madrigals by Italian Luca Marenzio; chansons by Franco-Flemish composer Josquin des Prés; five works by 19th-century German Ludwig Maurer; “Fantasia and Rondó,” a composition by Osvaldo Lacerda who, in 1963, became the first Brazilian composer to earn a Guggenheim Fellowship; “Copperwave,” a quintet-commissioned work by Grammy Award-winning contemporary American composer Joan Tower; and “Cadence, Fugue, Fade,” a piece written for the quintet by American Sebastian Currier that has its world premiere in New York City two weeks before being performed at Schwab. “The high priests of brass,” as the group was christened by Newsweek magazine, have amassed a discography of 50-plus albums and premiered more than 150 contemporary works. Tours have taken the quintet, founded in 1960, to five continents and all 50 of the United States. The ensemble, in residence at The Juilliard School since 1987 and the Aspen Music Festival since 1970, features trumpeters Raymond Mase and Kevin Cobb, hornist David Wakefield, trombonist Michael Powell and bass trombonist John D. Rojak. The quintet is the 2013 recipient of Chamber Music America’s Richard J. Bogomolny National Service Award for “significant and lasting contributions to the field.” Artistic Viewpoints, an informal moderated discussion featuring Mase and Rojak, is offered in Schwab one hour before the performance and is free for ticket holders.

STATE COLLEGE — Singer, songwriter and musician Judith Hill will perform at 8 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 1, at The State Theatre. Hill, former backup singer and duet partner for Michael Jackson and a favorite competitor on “The Voice” this season, has spent her life immersed in music.

hold, Hill was influenced by her father, Robert “Pee Wee” Hill, a pioneering funk bassist known for his work with artists such as Sly Stone and Bob Dylan, and her mother, Michiko Hill, an accomplished keyboardist with credits including Rufus with Chaka Khan, Wayne Shorter and Billy Preston. Outside of family talent, Hill was influenced by gospel legends including Aretha Franklin and Vanessa Bell Armstrong.

Gambetta to appear at concert series From Gazette staff reports

UNIVERSITY PARK — Italian guitarist Beppe Gambetta will make his first appearance at the Acoustic Brew Concert Series, 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 19, at the WPSU Studios at Innovation Park. Known as one of the world’s most innovative acoustic guitar players, Gambetta has released 11 albums and has collaborated with artists including David Grisman, Norman Blake and Doc Watson. He combines Italian and American cultures to take audiences around the world in performances and share a perspective garnered from years of touring the globe. His most recent record, “The American

Album,” a tribute to American roots music, was released in September. It includes original compositions and Gambetta’s interpretations of bluegrass and blues standards. “If this ‘American Album’ is your introduction to Beppe Gambetta, you’re about to learn why musicians around the world count him among today’s best acoustic guitarists,” writes folk DJ John Weingart, of “Music You Can’t Hear on the Radio,” in the album’s liner notes.

Massage studio hosts ribbon-cutting ceremony From Gazette staff reports BELLFONTE — Lisa Mandetta, founder of Cloud 9 Therapeutic Massage Studio, recently hosted a grand opening ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the launch of her new business. Her studio is located inside the Reynolds Mansion in Historic Bellefonte. Mandetta started offering massage services to Reynolds Mansion guests in 2012, but has now expanded to make these services available to the public. Cloud 9 Studio offers a variety of massage therapy and spa services. “I am so proud of Lisa’s efforts to launch the Cloud 9 Studio. She has

brought her vision to life and she is an inspiration for others in the community who have dreamed of turning their talents into a business,” said Maria Kirby from the Penn State Small Business Development Center. State Rep. Kerry Benninghoff joined the celebration and helped with the ribbon cutting. Mandetta, a Boalsburg native and a graduate of Lock Haven University, became interested in the massage therapy industry after a 2008 backpacking trip in Thailand. Thai massage is a main tourism attraction, and by discovering the benefits first hand, Mandetta was intrigued to learn more. When she returned home, Man-

detta enrolled at the Central Pennsylvania School of Massage Therapy. She received her certification in 2010 and became a licensed massage therapist in 2012. Mandetta is certified in Swedish, deep tissue, trigger point, lymph drainage, pregnancy, sports, neuromuscular and day spa massage therapies. “As a massage therapist my goal is to provide services that offer relief, comfort and relaxation. Each session is customized to meet the needs of every individual,” she said. “I will demonstrate the skills I have acquired to promote healing and to enhance your well being in a safe environment.”
