Health officials stay vigilant against threat of Ebola STATE COLLEGE — National headlines continue to feature information about the threat of the Ebola virus, which has begun to infect health care workers in Dallas that treated a Liberian man who died in an area hospital earlier this month. As of Oct. 15, two nurses who treated Liberian citizen Thomas Eric Duncan for more than a week while he was hospitalized with Ebola, have been diagnosed. Duncan was visiting family in the Dallas area when he was di-
agnosed with Ebola on Sept. 30. He died at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital on Oct. 8 Thomas Frieden, director of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the health care workers had contact with Duncan while he received care on multiple occasions. The workers are currently isolated, according to the CDC. Those who had contact with the workers while they were Ebola, Page 5

Minor charged as adult following robbery attempt By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — A 17-year-old has been charged as an adult after allegedly attempting to rob a woman early morning on Oct. 13. Gabriel Shull, of State College, was arrested by police officers on patrol near South Burrowes Street. According to a news release from the State College Police Department, the officers heard a woman screaming at about 3 a.m. and reportedly saw a male running away. The officers reportedly chased Shull to his car. Officers saw what appeared to be a handgun in the vehicle. Shull and a pas-
senger were placed in handcuffs. That’s when officers were notified about an armed robbery that had just occurred in the 100 block of South Burrowes Street. Shull had allegedly asked the woman for money before revealing a firearm and grabbing her, police said. When the victim screamed and resisted, Shull ran away, leading to this arrest. Officers determined the firearm to be a BB gun that resembles a semi-automatic handgun. Shull has been charged with robbery, unlawful restraint, simple assault, possession of instruments of crime and a minor drug charge. He is being held in the Centre County Correctional Facility on $25,000 bail.

UNIVERSITY PARK — In honor of National Night Out, an initiative to promote awareness, safety and community unity, representatives from Penn State University Police and Center for Women Students visited residence halls to talk with students about crimes that take place on campus. While touring East, Pollock and South residence halls at the inaugural event, Sgt. Frances Pollack, of Penn State University Police, and Jennifer Pencek, Center for Women Students programming coordinator, posed a variety of questions to students. Some of these included: “What crime is most committed on campus?” “What are the telephone numbers for the campus police and Safe Walk?” “What can men do to help stop sexual assaults?” “What groups on campus are most likely to be victimized?” “How can students prevent thefts?” “It was great to hear the students are knowledgeable in ways to prevent crime, how to intervene if they see something bad happening and how to be there if a friend is a victim of a crime,” Pollack said. “Some students were aware of the Center for Women Students as well, which is very encouraging. Our goal is to make this an annual event and for it to grow.” National Night Out typically takes place in August, but with school not beginning until fall, Pencek said it made more sense to do it while students were in the area. The biggest crimes committed on campus, Pollack said, are underage drinking, drug violations and theft. “These crimes happen all over campus, but the majority of them are reported in the residence halls.” Pollack and Pencek rewarded students who gave correct answers with flashlight key chains and provided dorm residents with literature about the Center for Women Students and University Police and Public Safety. One of the brochures handed out is a campus “night” map, which highlights the well-lit routes on campus and buildings that are staffed 24 hours a day during the fall and spring semesters. Pollack said students, and anyone else who is in trouble, are encouraged to call police if they need help. “A lot of people think that when the police are involved, someone is in trouble,” Pencek said. “But we’re here to help and make sure that students are successful, have a great experience here and aren’t victimized.” Pencek also stressed that the Center for Women Students is also available if someone is being victimized. “There are options for help,” she said. “We help all students, not just women.” Pollack said she hopes people remember that while this area is relatively safe, crime still happens. “I don’t want to see people drop their guard completely,” she said.
Police: Man tried to rob pizza delivery driver By STEVE BAUER StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — A man faces charges after police said he tried to rob a Papa John’s pizza delivery man. Police say Scott Flanagan, 35, who has no know address, is facing multiple charges including attempted robbery and terroristic threats. The incident happened on Oct. 12 just after noon. According to police, Flanagan accosted the delivery man in downtown State College in the area of West BeaSCOTT FLANAGAN ver Avenue and Miller Alley. The victim told investigators that his assailant displayed what looked like a knife, threatened to kill him, and demanded the pizzas he was carrying. Two couples walking nearby yelled that the man had a knife. The victim and the two couples took off running. Investigators say Flanagan ran past his victim and kept going. The delivery man helped officers search for the suspect who was located and placed under arrest. It’s unclear whether the suspect actually did have a knife. The two couples that witnessed the robbery have not been identified. Anyone with information about the robbery should call the State College Police Department at (814) 234-7150.

There were the usual ghosts and goblins. But some of the pumpkin art featured sports teams, celebrities and even famous logos. The timing of the festival was perfect. The Penn State football team was in Ann Arbor, Mich., for a night game with the Wolverines. That gave fans an opportunity to stop by well before kickoff. It was also Parents and Families Weekend at Penn State. Many parents of current students were in town, making for a great fall photo opportunity for the entire family. “It’s a beautiful weekend. We were able to collaborate with organizers at Penn State to make it a great family activity,� Edelson said. “I think we had a couple of thousand people (Friday) and many more (Saturday). We don’t have a gate, so people can come in through multiple entrances.� One of the busiest areas was the relatively new Children’s Garden. Inside “Childhood’s Gate,� there was a live snake display, a puppet show and a booth where children could create a corn husk doll. Dr. Kim Steiner, director of the Arboretum at Penn State, sat and watched as hundreds of families explored the Children’s Garden for the first time. buy sell trade consign

“It was completed in July and I think more than half the people out here are in the Children’s Garden. I think that has added quite a bit to the attraction,� Steiner said. Steiner said that a big part of the success of the Pumpkin Festival is the fact that it started as a free event and it’s remained that way for all four years. “It’s free because we’ve had a donation every year to fund it,� Steiner explained. “It’s fairly expensive to do this, but a family has given us the money. I think they’re going to continue, at least for the next few years.� Of course, the Pumpkin Festival is just one weekend a year at the Arboretum. Throughout the rest of the year, it’s a popular destination for families. It plays hosts to photo shoots, engagements, weddings and the like throughout much of the calendar year. Steiner is enjoying the success. “I had hoped it would be this popular. You never know until you do it. We thought it would be a great asset to the community,� he said. “The community has responded. It’s very popular.� On the main ground at the Aborteum, children worked stuffing hay into shirts, pants and gloves as they tried to create the perfect scarecrow. Jennifer Hooven, a preschool teacher from Bellefonte, was a volunteer at the Pumpkin Festival. She helped the children construct the scarecrows, which were on display for everyone to see. “I really like kids and I really like spending time outdoors with kids,� Hooven explained. “I like spending time in nature and this is a really nice urban nature experience for them in the garden. This just adds to the festivities here.� There was no one more festive than Edelson, who was dressed head-to-toe in orange and black. She proclaimed herself the “Pumpkin Princess� and had a headband that featured a plastic pumpkin. It sat sideways on top of her head. She chuckled as she spoke about being Saturday’s feature attraction. “I am reflecting the inherent fabulousness of pumpkins and gourds,� Edelson said. “This time of year is so festive. I think the natural splendor of fall foliage, flowers, pumpkins and gourds really creates a festive atmosphere.�
STATE COLLEGE — By now, you’ve noticed the slightly chillier temperatures and the leaves changing from green to red. The fall season is in full swing. Soon, you and your neighbors will be out on the lawn, spending afternoons raking leaves. Of course, that also means leaf-collecting season has begun. If your township hasn’t started collecting already, it will soon be sending trucks around for leaf and brush pickups. With October not even halfway over, the public works departments for local communities still have their busiest days ahead of them. If this year’s effort matches those of previous years, all those leaves will add up to a weighty chore. According to State College Borough operations manager Eric Brooks, 1,500 tons of leaves were collected by State College last year, which measures out to 10,000 cubic yards. “Well, generally, it varies year by year,� Brooks said. “We start collecting at the end of September with one truck and gradually we cover the entire borough.� State College has a deal with Patton, College and Ferguson townships to have all of the leaves that those townships collect composted at the State College compost facility off of North Atherton Street. “The leaves are a great carbon source for us,� Brooks said. “We can compost them along with our organic waste.� Harris Township does things differently. It composts leaves at Tait Farms in Boalsburg, according to township manager Amy Farkas. “All of our leaves are taken to Tait, where they are composted along with the food waste from the farm,� Farkas said. “We don’t measure the amount of leaves by any scale, just by how many truckloads of them there are.� Harris Township is not collecting leaves just yet. It will begin its collection on Monday, Oct. 27, and continue until approximately mid-December. “The leaves just haven’t really begun falling yet,� Farkas said. “The latest we’ve ever collected until is Dec. 13. We assess the situation to help our citizens, but we usually stop earlier so we can switch our equipment over to snow removal.� The State College Borough began collecting on Sept. 29 and will continue until Saturday, Dec. 6. While there is no set time or day when leaves are collected, residents should have their leaves on the curb by Monday mornings at 7 a.m. Both Ferguson and Patton townships collect leaves on the first Monday of the month. College Township has also started to collect leaves and asks residents to have them on the curb by Monday mornings. Its official pick-up schedule begins Monday, Oct. 20, and workers will continue picking up leaves for approximately six weeks.
Community encouraged to abide by sign requirements STATE COLLEGE — With Election Day only a couple weeks away, many will use visual aids to support political candidates. Community members are encouraged, however, to abide by the borough’s sign ordinance. The most recent violation was reported earlier this month when the borough had to remove signage that was 32 square feet from a home on Pugh Street, according to borough manager Tom Fountaine. The permitted area a lawn sign can take up in a residential neighborhood is 5 square feet, he said. The sign was removed last week after the property owner was notified about the violation.

als focus on balancing the body’s electrolytes, providing fluids through an IV and maintaining the patient’s oxygen and blood pressure. It is possible, however, for someone infected to develop antibodies that fight the virus for “at least 10 years, possibly longer.� Since learning of the first nurse who contracted the virus in Dallas, there has been a lot of “push and concern� for health care professionals to be aware of proper technique for using medical gowns and treating Ebola patients. During a press conference on Oct. 13, Frieden said that a specific incident that exposed the first worker who contracted the virus has not yet been identified, but more emphasis is being put on training staff on how to put on and take off protective garb. Airports throughout the country, including University Park Airport, are taking into consideration the threat and spread of the virus through international travel. “Here at the University Park Airport, we are following the guidance on training and procedures the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provided to the airline industry,� said Bryan Rodgers, the airport’s director, in an email. Since the outbreak, screening for the virus has been boosted at five international airports that receive about 94 percent of travelers from West Africa, Rodgers said. Penn State has also temporarily halted university-related travel to Liberia, Sierra Leona, Guinea and Nigeria. “Two of those five airports — Washington Dulles and Chicago O’Hare — connect directly with University Park, and so international travelers arriving here from those airports already will have undergone enhanced screening,� Rodgers said. “While no one can make any guarantees, we feel confident that the measures taken by the U.S. airline industry as a whole, and specifically here at University Park, along with the precautions and recommendations provided by the CDC and U.S. federal government, go a long way toward ensur-
contagious and other health care workers who also treated Duncan are also being monitored. Despite the threat level being low, according to area health care professionals, measures are in place if the virus does spread to Pennsylvania. “It’s something we’re taking very seriously,� said Dr. John Pagnotto, a family medicine physician and regional medical director for Geisinger Health System. Geisinger facilities throughout the area have also been required to post notices asking patients to disclose if they traveled to Nigeria, Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone or Senegal within the last 21 days or been in contact with a person suspected to have the virus. An Ebola outbreak began in West Africa when Guinea reported cases in March. Since then, there have been more than 8,400 cases of the virus reported and more than 4,000 deaths, according to the CDC. Current precautions that Mount Nittany Health is taking, according to infection control and prevention coordinator Marlene Stetson, include screening patients who have a fever for other symptoms consistent with the Ebola virus. “Hospitals and health care agencies are helping to stop the spread of Ebola through identifying people who have been exposed to the virus and isolating those people who are ill,� she said in a press release. The Ebola virus is contracted through blood and other bodily fluids. Symptoms include a fever of 101.5 F or higher, severe headaches, muscle pain, weakness, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain and unexplained bleeding or bruising. If someone in the area is diagnosed with or suspected of having Ebola, Pagnotto said he or she will be sequestered and put into isolation to receive treatment. According to the CDC, there is no FDAapproved vaccine or medicine to treat the disease. Currently, health care profession-

ly conduct, after making an online threat to “kill everyone� at the University Park campus, according Penn State University Police and Public Safety Chief Tyrone Parham. Parham said police were notified of the threat made on social media app Yik Yak by another student at about 9:15 a.m on Oct. 12. The poster of the anonymous threat claimed to have ammunition for an AR-15 rifle and that he would use it to shoot people at the HUB-Robeson Center starting at noon on Oct. 13.

“We immediately took this very seriously,� Parham said. “We had a lot of staff that spend the entire day working with the staff at Yik Yak, who were very helpful.� Though the initial post was deleted, police were ultimately able to obtain information that indicated it was made from a student apartment at 201 Vairo Blvd. That led to Shim’s arrest. According to investigators, no weapons were found and Shim reportedly claimed the post was a prank. Shim, an engineering sophomore, was unable to post his $100,000 bail and is being held in the Centre County Correctional Facility. Parham said he is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Wednesday, Oct. 22, at 8:30 a.m. Parham says Penn State police planned on having a dramatically increased police presence on campus and around the HUB on Oct. 13 if they were unable to make

New complaint filed in Paterno vs. NCAA lawsuit By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — After having their first complaint against the NCAA rejected for lacking specific claims, Jay Paterno and other plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint against the NCAA on Oct. 13. The new filing includes former assistant coaches Paterno and William Kenney, the Paterno Estate, and former university trustee Al Clemens as plaintiffs. Penn State was added to the suit as a nominal defendant in February. The basic claims remain the same, but the new complaint outlines the damages sought by each of the parties and clarifies the connection between the NCAA and the plaintiffs. The complaint argues that the NCAA overstepped its bounds in the aftermath of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal, causing financial and emotional harm to the various plaintiffs. “The NCAA has no authority to investigate or impose sanctions on member institutions for criminal matters unrelated to recruiting or athletic competition at the collegiate level,” the complaint reads. The consent decree that bound Penn State to the NCAA’s sanctions is also attacked. The complaint claims the document is “unlawful,” based on a “flawed” investigation and that the university signed it under “extreme duress.” The complaint argues that the consent decree negatively impacted Clemens’ ability to work as a member of the board, and that it implied Paterno’s and Kenney’s involvement in an alleged cover up of Sandusky’s crimes. “As early as November 2011, the NCAA accused certain Penn State personnel (in-
cluding Plaintiffs) of being significantly involved in alleged violations of the NCAA’s rules,” the complaint reads. The court filing also argues that the value of the Paterno estate was hurt by allegations of former head coach Joe Paterno’s involvement in an alleged cover-up. “Joe Paterno … suffered severe damage to his good name and reputation, resulting in irreparable and substantial pecuniary harm to the current and long-term value of his estate,” the document says. Joe Paterno and the other parties in the suit were also allegedly denied their rights of appeal outlined in the NCAA’s bylaws. By being denied these procedures, the plaintiffs were unable to offset the alleged harm brought by the NCAA. The complaint argues that Paterno and Kenney were both unable to find work comparable to their coaching positions at Penn State. Kenney was turned down for numerous positions, and many job interviews reportedly focused on claims made by the NCAA, according to the filing. Paterno was unable to find work as either a university head coach or college football commentator with various media outlets, even though ESPN had previously expressed its interest, the complaint says. For these alleged breeches of contract and defamatory remarks, the complaint asks the court to nullify the consent decree and order the NCAA to pay damages to the plaintiffs. The NCAA had earlier filed a motion asking to have the lawsuit dismissed, which was denied. The NCAA has also argued that the lawsuit lacks legal standing because none of the plaintiffs can claim to have been impacted by the consent decree.

Group from Penn State travels to venture fair By HARRY ZIMBLER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
PITTSBURGH — Two vans of entrepreneurs, business founders and economic developers associated with Innovation Park at Penn State took part in the 3 Rivers Venture Fair on Oct. 8 at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. The event was organized by the staff at the Pittsburgh Venture Capital Association. Innovation Park at Penn State was an event co-sponsor. The fair included presentations by 42 startups in a “Shark Tank”-style competition for capital investment. In addition to the presentations — which were divided into two category tracks, information technology and biotechnology — the event included an exhibition floor and a keynote address by John Biggs of IT publication TechCrunch. Companies at the 3 Rivers Venture Fair ranged from a group that will help gardeners with apps and valuable content to one that said it has a better diagnostics tool for detecting prostate cancer. One of the companies vying for approval was Keystone Nano, headquartered in State College. The highlight of the event was the address delivered by Biggs. The focus of his talk was what he called “the theater of entrepreneurship.” In many ways, Biggs said, company startups are like three-act plays. “You get excited, you fail and you give up,” Biggs said. His talk was filled with witty quips that were both humorous and pointed. Startups that succeed create solid ideas that fill a hole in the market and that are strong enough to face plenty of sharks waiting to bite, Biggs said. “Before you think about seeking funds from a venture capital firm, you need to look at friends and family, angel investors and incubators first,” he said. “There are incubators everywhere now.” Innovation

JOHN BIGGS, of IT publication TechCrunch, was the keynote speaker at the 3 Rivers Venture Fair, which was held recently at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.
Park at Penn State maintains an excellent incubator program. What are the worst mistakes entrepreneurs and startups commit? Biggs was very clear about the answer. “Poorly written pitches are taboo,” he said. “So are surly founders and ideas with promise that are poorly executed.” Biggs advised startups to write a compelling story, figure out who to tell it to and then tell it. “Write your story in human terms,” he said. “Always have it on hand, as well as an executive summary, a 90-second pitch, your longer tale and your business plan.” One thing that really annoys him, Biggs explained, are entrepreneurs who make pitches at inappropriate times and places. “Don’t deliver your pitch to me at the urinal.” It has happened to him more than once, he said. It is critically important for startup founders to always be ready with a compelling story. “It’s not about networking. It’s about storytelling,” he said. “Remember that your mere existence as a startup is a triumph. “Finally, always be ready to start again.”

*The TimeLine Home Equity Line of Credit is a variable rate line of credit with a fixed rate option. This loan has a introductory APR and payment for the first year then adjusts based on the highest prime rate listed in the Money section of the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) plus a margin determined at the time you apply for the loan. To open the advertised product and receive the advertised introductory 1.99% APR (annual percentage rate) requires a line of credit of at least $10,000 and a maximum of $250,000. **After the first year, your variable rate can change daily. The current variable rate would be 4.00% APR for a loan amount between $10,000-$49,999.99 and a credit score between 720-779. The maximum APR is 16%. This loan has a maximum term of ten years during which you can draw and repay the available credit limit. Any balance remaining at the end of that time that has not been paid must be repaid over a 15 year term. Fees to open this loan generally range between $0 and $1,000 depending on appraisal requirements and property location. You will be required to maintain property insurance on the collateral. You may also be required to maintain flood insurance on the collateral, if necessary, because of the location.
During the 10 year draw period of the TimeLine, this loan allows the APR on all or portions of your outstanding loan balance (a “Unit”) to be locked. You may have up to a maximum of 3 Units at any one time. The maximum repayment term for a Unit is 15 years. The terms do not change until the Unit balance is paid in full. Fixed rate options are the fully indexed APR plus .50% for terms of 36 months; the fully indexed APR plus 1.00% for terms of 37-60 months; the fully indexed APR plus 1.50% for 61-96 months; the fully indexed APR plus 2.00% for 97120 months; and the fully indexed APR plus 2.50% for 121-180 months. Different margins are used to determine the fully indexed APR based on the applicant(s) credit score (s) and the loan amount when the TimeLine Home Equity Line of Credit is opened. There is a lock in fee of $50 each time you lock in a Unit. During the TimeLine Home Equity Line of Credit draw period, payments reducing the principal balance on any portion of the balance, including Units become available by increasing the credit available on your TimeLine Home Equity Line of Credit. You should consult a tax advisor for the tax deductibility of this loan. All TimeLine loans are subject to credit approval.

Screening for Ebola makes good sense By The Sacramento Bee Only in hindsight will we truly know whether the global response to Ebola was rapid enough to stop it from spreading into a pandemic. Though there are sporadic cases in Europe and one death in the United States from the disease, it’s still, for the most part, a West African outbreak. But from this vantage point, the U.S. appears to be moving with admirable haste, while not overreacting to some of the more paranoid voices calling for extreme measures. The decision last week to intensify screening at five airports in the United States that see 95 percent of the travelers from the West African countries hardest hit — Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone — is such an example. Passengers from that part of the world will have their temperatures checked upon arrival. Fever is a common symptom of Ebola, which is spread only when those infected are symptomatic. Of course, screening isn’t a guaranteed Ebola block; nothing is guaranteed in this life. But these are sensible, timely steps to deal with a growing threat across the globe that comes appropriately after the first Ebola death on U.S. soil. The screening follows an order from President Barack Obama in mid-September to commit $1 billion and 3,000 troops to fight the epidemic by building hospitals and other health care infrastructure in countries hardest hit by the epidemic. What makes the United States’ rapid response to Ebola all the more admirable is the view of it through the prism of another pandemic that began in Africa: AIDS/HIV. Of course AIDS is fundamentally different from Ebola. Nonetheless, had the U.S. and world leaders reacted with the same sense of urgency to the AIDS virus, many fewer people may have died. But, of course, that’s something we know only from hindsight. And with Ebola, it will take some distance of time to know if actions today will be counted as overreaction, under-reaction or just the right measures to keep us reasonably safe. We’re betting on the latter.

McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Ezekiel Emanuel, a physician and one of the architects of Obamacare, writes in the October issue of the Atlantic Monthly that Americans are too obsessed with living long lives. “For many reasons,” including diminished mobility, a “tsunami” of dementia, and sparing adult children from the pain of a long decline, Emanuel argues, “75 is a pretty good age to aim to stop.” Emanuel insists he isn’t advocating death at 75 as a way to ration health care or save money. But with health care costs outpacing official estimates, conservative critics of the Affordable Care Act worry Emanuel’s musings might eventually become law. Are Americans living too long for their own good? Do we have a civic duty to die younger? Columnists Ben Boychuk and Joel Mathis weigh in. Here’s some great news, America: Nobody’s going to require you to die at age 75. Not Ezekiel Emanuel. Not Barack Obama. Not the federal government. The hysterics who spent the original Obamacare debate screaming about “death panels” have taken a (superficial) look at Emanuel’s essay in The Atlantic and have brandished it as proof that they were right all along. In fact, they’re wrong in almost precisely the same way they originally were. Back then, the Obamacare provision that raised the spectacle of “death panels” was actually an effort to get older Americans to talk with their families and doctors about endof-life care. Lots of folks (even Republicans) would rather not spend the last weeks of their lives — and
hundreds of thousands of dollars — in pain and hooked up to expensive machines that can only delay death without restoring real health. But avoiding that fate sometimes means communicating your wishes early; all Obamacare was expected to do was to facilitate that conversation. Emanuel’s essay is basically a public version of that conversation. He thinks 75 is a good end date, but it’s important to note that he doesn’t plan to kill himself at that age, and he doesn’t want the government enforcing the decision either. He’ll simply stop going to the doctor so often, and do more to let nature take its own course. “Let me be clear about my wish. I’m neither asking for more time than is likely nor foreshortening my life,” he writes. “Nor am I talking about waking up one morning 18 years from now and ending my life through euthanasia or suicide. Since the 1990s, I have actively opposed legalizing euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide.” So why are Emanuel’s critics so sure he’s coming for granny with federal agents in tow? Obamacare isn’t perfect, but it seems to be providing more people with insurance coverage and it’s even credited with lowering medical costs. Conservatives need a bogeyman to distract you from the program’s success.
BEN BOYCHUK
Just as Ezekiel Emanuel is careful to freight his 5,000-word Atlantic essay with caveats and qualifications, I would be careful not to make any guarantees or sweeping claims about what you may or may not be required to do in the autumn of your years. But you needn’t be a hysteric to distrust the easygoing claims of a man who elsewhere argues explicitly for rationing health care. Emanuel coauthored a 2009 ar-
ticle for Lancet, a widely read and well-respected medical journal published weekly in the United Kingdom, which laid out “Principles for Allocation of Scarce Medical Interventions.” Emanuel and his colleagues considered how best to allocate resources based on several different models before settling on a “complete lives system.” Put simply: it prioritizes young people at the expense of old people. Obamacare is no bargain. Fact is, health care is expensive and it’s getting more so all the time. Contrary to popular belief in free markets, American health care is heavily regulated and subsidized. Nearly half of U.S. health care spending comes from the government. Federal subsidies under the law will likely top $16.5 billion this year, according to federal figures. But precise estimates are hard to come by. The malfunctioning healthcare. gov website alone has cost taxpayers more than $2 billion, a Bloomberg report found. You needn’t be an actuary to see where all this is headed. The government will be under tremendous pressure to curb costs as more Americans end up getting insured through subsidized exchanges. Older people often have chronic conditions that are more costly to treat. When resources are limited, you look to cut the big expenses. Pretty soon, dying at 75 might look like a fiscal necessity. But who knows? A recent Associated Press poll found that only 30 percent of U.S. adults approve of Obamacare. Another poll by McLaughlin and Associates found that 60 percent of likely voters now favor either repealing the law outright or replacing it with something else. Repeal, like growing old, may not be so bad when you consider the alternative.
Upside down at the gas pumps By The Chicago Tribune Global crude oil prices have been falling in recent weeks, bringing relief to motorists at the pump — and angst to members of OPEC. The oil cartel still controls most of the world’s oil reserves. But it lacks the market power it once wielded. The days are over when an Arab oil embargo could cripple the U.S. economy, as happened during the mid-1970s. An era of abundance has dawned, thanks largely to North American shale-oil and tar-sands producers. Some traders and analysts expect a global surplus of oil in coming years, as well as a boom in the production of natural gas. Given robust supplies, oil prices are likely to stay relatively low, financial markets indicate. Those lower prices are just what the economy needs to stimulate job creation, business investment and an overdue rise in middle-class living standards. President Barack Obama should be doing more to boost the U.S. petroleum sector. His administration puts great effort and taxpayer funding into so-called green energy, but many Obama-backed subsidies for wind,

solar, ethanol and other renewables haven’t paid off. The administration also needs to get out of the way of useful private-sector energy projects, the most obvious being the Keystone XL pipeline. That new supply route is needed for the safe transportation of Canadian oil to American refineries in the Gulf of Mexico. Approve it, already. Still, to an increasing extent in recent years, the federal government has given grudging support to domestic oil’s comeback. The administration has loosened restrictions on drilling permits, for instance, and opened up more federal lands and offshore sites for drilling. Contrary to the wishes of liberal environmentalists, the administration hasn’t tried to put a stop to fracking — the transformative drilling technology that enables producers to tap previously out-of-reach reserves. During his State of the Union speech in January, the president noted that America had produced more oil at home than it bought from the rest of the world — “the first time that’s happened in 20 years,” Obama marveled. A president who came into office promising to reduce the na-
tion’s dependence on oil in favor of renewables now embraces what he calls an “all-of-the-above” energy strategy. Apparently, “Drill, baby, drill,” wasn’t such a bad idea after all. As a result, the American public has less to fear from OPEC. The cartel and its kingpin — Saudi Arabia — still could roil the market if its ministers decide to sharply cut output when they meet next month. But that’s unlikely: OPEC has good reason to act with restraint. Cutting production would encourage competing suppliers to produce more, and give a boost to the conservation efforts that are gathering steam not only in the developed world but in China as well (where the ruling Communist Party is under pressure to curb air pollution). We doubt OPEC will overplay its hand. There are other risks: Oil prices could shoot up again if fighting in the Middle East spills into the important oil fields of southern Iraq, for example. Nevertheless, energy markets, including long-dated futures contracts for 2017 and beyond, indicate moderate prices ahead. Who’s afraid of big, bad OPEC now?

Parent feedback helps shape improved BMI screening HERSHEY — As part of its mission of educating and inspiring families to make healthy lifestyle choices, Penn State Hershey PRO Wellness Center has developed and tested a body mass index screening letter that leads parents to tools and resources for making healthy lifestyle changes for their families. To date, more than 200 schools across Pennsylvania have expressed interest in possibly using the new letter. Childhood obesity has become a critical health epidemic, affecting 17 percent of all children and adolescents in the United States. In 2013, Pennsylvania was named the 20th most obese state, with 33 percent of school students either overweight or obese. Given the significant amount of time youth spend in school, school-based behavioral interventions are necessary in the fight against childhood obesity. Students in Pennsylvania get weighed and measured to determine their BMIs as a part of state-mandated annual health screenings in schools. A BMI-for-age percentile is calculated by comparing a child’s BMI to those of children of the same age and gender. These measurements are used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems in the future. Assessing BMI is a quick and simple screening method that can serve as a measure of body fat. More than 25 percent of all states require schools to carry out BMI screening and parental notification programs. Despite the statewide mandate in Pennsylvania, limited evidence supports best practices for accomplishing this formidable task. Although BMI screening and notification programs hold promise of addressing a serious issue, school-based interventions have been unsuccessful at reducing the prevalence of childhood obesity. This is believed to be due to the lack of follow-up with appropriate nutritional

education programming for children who screen positive as overweight or obese. “You wouldn’t throw away a letter that says your child failed his or her vision test. So if we’re telling you that your child is underweight, overweight or obese, we want you to realize the risks and take action,” said Donna Kephart, executive director of the PRO Wellness Center. The first phase of the research project involved interviews with 42 parents from six Pennsylvania schools. They were asked to provide feedback on two different BMI notification letters: their school’s standard letter and a revised letter. Based on this feedback, a new screening letter was created to include graphics and an explanation of health risks and specific actions that parents could take. The second phase of the research involved 16 schools being assigned to distribute letters, with eight sending out the standard version and eight distributing the revised letter. Parents were invited to participate in a survey to assess their intentions and predicted actions based on information presented in the letter. Surveys were completed by 385 parents. The revised letter drew a favorable reaction from parents. Among parents of overweight or obese children, more recipients of the revised letter intended to take action based on information it contained when compared to those receiving the standard letter (68 percent vs. 45 percent). In addition, parents of overweight or obese children who received the revised as compared to the standard letter were more likely to read the entire letter (82 percent vs. 77 percent).

Pink Ribbon Golf Classic nets $23,000 for 3-D mammography STATE COLLEGE — The Foundation for Mount Nittany Medical Center recently received $23,000 as the beneficiary of the first ever Pink Ribbon Golf Classic event, held Sept. 8 at the Penn State Golf Courses. Proceeds from this women-only event — which attracted nearly 100 golfers — were dedicated toward the future purchase of a new screening and diagnostic imaging device at the Mount Nittany Health Breast Care Center. Tomosynthesis, or 3-D mammography, takes multiple X-ray images of the breast at different angles, creating a three-dimensional image that results in better visibility, earlier detection of breast cancers and reduced follow-up diagnostic testing. “Studies are showing that Tomosynthesis improves earlier detection of invasive breast cancers,” said Dr. Allison Yingling, of Mount Nittany Health Breast Care Center. “In a traditional screening mammogram, sometimes women are called back for additional views, but this technology helps us cut down on those call-backs because the mammogram includes pictures of the breast at multiple angles. Essentially, it gives us a three-dimensional view.” The new technology is expected to be purchased within the next year. “We are grateful that the Pink Ribbon Golf Classic committee chose Mount Nittany Health as the beneficiary for this event. The committee worked very hard for this cause, and the golfers, sponsors and volunteers responded in a similar way. It was a very successful event,” said Kim Neely, director of The Foundation for Mount Nittany Medical Center.

RUNNERS TAKE OFF at the start of the 2014 Conquer Run, which was held recently at Hersheypark. The event supported the fight against childhood cancer.
Conquer Run raises funds for Four Diamonds HERSHEY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Conquer Run, which took runners and walkers on a 5K adventure through Hersheypark, raised more than $188,000 for Four Diamonds at Penn State Hershey and the fight against childhood cancer. The event, which drew 2,000 participants this year, was presented by the Hershey Company. The dollar total represents a $77,000 increase from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Con-

South Hills School holds commencement ceremony STATE COLLEGE — The celebratory atmosphere at South Hills School of Business and Technology commencement ceremonies always reflect the supportive and caring environment South Hills students are familiar with. Mark Maggs, director of South Hills, opened the evening by encouraging friends and family of the graduates to cheer loudly as the 122 individuals were handed their diplomas. The event was held at the Penn Stater Conference Center on Sept. 25. Maralyn Mazza, president and co-founder of South Hills, told the graduates to not only bring their newly acquired skill sets to the workplace, but to also be cooperative and caring workers, strong representatives of South Hills School who make a difference. Mike Keller, of State College, a 2008 South Hills graduate, was the guest speaker at this year’s graduation. Keller, a multimedia specialist for Penn State University, encouraged the new graduates to find a mentor and be a mentor.
“Learning doesn’t stop at graduation, so be teachable. Set new goals and work toward them,” Keller said. Completion of an internship is part of the rigorous curriculum requirement at South Hills. Business major and Class of 2014 graduate Carlita DeSousa, of Port Matilda, took advantage of an internship opportunity at Nordstrom Inc., an upscale fashion retail store. DeSousa was one of only 14 interns chosen for indepth training at Nordstrom’s King of Prussia store. Even before she completed her dream internship, DeSousa, a State High graduate, advanced through the ranks and was hired as an assistant manager of Nordstrom’s salon shoe department. It was a coveted position among the other 14 summer interns because it is one of the top 10 salon shoe departments of Nordstrom’s 150 full-line stores. DeSousa said she is grateful to South Hills’ instructors who gave her the quality education she needed to pursue her passion in retail business.
SOUTH HILLS SCHOOL of Business and Technology graduates from the September Class of 2014 toss their caps in celebration at the close of their commencement ceremony, recently held at the Penn Stater Conference Center. There were 122 graduates who earned their associate degrees from South Hills’ State College, Altoona and Lewistown school locations.

Pennsylvania adult learners to benefit from scholarship UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State alumni from Palmyra have established the Dan and Agnes Mazur Family Adult Learner Scholarship for World Campus, Penn State’s online campus. “We are grateful to Dan and Agnes Mazur for their very generous commitment to Penn State adult learners,” said Craig Weidemann, vice president for outreach and vice provost for online education. “This gift will provide invaluable support to students balancing multiple responsibilities as they pursue their education.” Adults living in 20 Pennsylvania counties who are enrolled or planning to enroll in World Campus online undergraduate education programs will be eligible for the annual Mazur Family scholarship. The scholarship gives preference to stu-
dents who reside in one of the following counties: Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Cameron, Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, Elk, Fayette, Fulton, Huntingdon, Indiana, Jefferson, Juniata, Lebanon, McKean, Mifflin, Potter, Somerset or Westmoreland. Penn State defines adult learners as either those who are 24 years old or older; veterans or active-duty service members; people returning to school after four or more years of employment, homemaking or other activity; or people with multiple adult roles, such as those of parent, spouse/partner, employee and student. “We are both first-generation college graduates,” said Dan Mazur. “Penn State has made a difference in our lives, and we want to make a similar significant impact in students’ lives. Our experiences with Penn State outreach and online education
programs made us aware of the needs of adult learners and helped us focus our gift plans.” Agnes Mazur said: “For individuals who don’t go to college and then find they can’t support their families on what they are earning, higher education can be the answer. We want our gift to help these adults earn a Penn State degree.” Dan Mazur earned a Bachelor of Science in business logistics and a Master of Business Administration from the Smeal College of Business. Agnes English Mazur earned a Bachelor of Arts in French at Penn State and a master’s degree in elementary education at West Chester University. All three of their children, Timothy, Kathleen and Patrick, attended Penn State as well. Originally from Cresson, Cambria

WILLIAMSPORT — The Pennsylvania College of Technology recently announced that its trade programs for building construction technology and building construction technology masonry emphasis have been endorsed by the Pennsylvania Builders Association. “It is a true measure of quality to be able to achieve an educational endorsement from PBA,” said Marc Bridgens, dean of the School of Construction and Design Technologies at PCT. “Receiving the endorsement provides a benchmark for meeting industry standards. The endorsement offers validation that our curriculum, mission and educational goals are in sync with industry expectations. The goal of the Penn College School of Construction and Design and PBA is to provide a safe, fiscally responsible and sustainability-minded workforce. We are excited about the relationship that is shared through this endorsement for our construction technology and masonry programs.” “PBA is committed to a viable, high-quality construction industry and the workforce to support it,” said PBA president Kevin Coutts. “Through our Secondary Endorsed Trade Program, we can create a stronger future workforce and provide students with recognized certification and other benefits, like building a network of ties in the community through connections with PBA members, locals and local student chapters.” The program is also recognized by the Department of Education and endorsed by the Pennsylvania Association of Career and Technical Administrators. Endorsement of a school’s trade programs involves a thorough review and evaluation by people working in the construction industry using criteria established by the National Association of Home Builders. Endorsement ensures that those trades programs in the schools meet high standards of performance and will properly prepare students with foundational knowledge in the building trades. Students who complete PBA-certified programs can take tests that demonstrate their skills in such core competencies as carpentry, plumbing, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, among others.

BEA installs safety and security features at schools WINGATE — The Bald Eagle Area School District recently installed several safety and security items. These include visitor management software programs and the installation of window safety film at each of its schools, as well as flashing caution lights at the Wingate Elementary and middle/high school entrances. The School Gate Guardian System requires all visitors to present a valid driver’s license or other state-issued identification upon arrival at the door. The ID will be scanned and checked against the sexual offender database. The process to scan an ID, run the check and print a badge takes about 30 seconds to complete. As a matter of convenience, visitors to the schools are reminded to bring one of the two forms of approved IDs when visiting any BEA schools during student-occupied times. Another safety feature installed at all district schools is 3M safety and security window film. This film has been placed on the inside of all glass doors and windows near the school entranceways. The film is designed to help hold glass fragments together, creating a strong barrier against break-ins or severe weather. At the middle/high school and Wingate Elementary School, flashing caution lights have been installed in the front entrance lanes, along with “Buses Only When Lights Are Flashing” signs. These lights will be active during the beginning and end of the school day. Drivers should use the student drop-off and pick-up lanes during this time period. “We have a wonderful community full of valuable resources; our most precious, of course, are our children. These safety and security measures are designed to keep the entire Bald Eagle family safe,” said Jeff Miles, BEA superintendent.

Aaronsburg hosts annual Fall Festival By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
AARONSBURG — The quiet village of Aaronsburg became a hub of activity last weekend as the Haines Township Dutch Fall Festival was held on Oct. 11 and 12. This event is a combination of craft fair, folk festival and yard sales. Numerous craft vendors lined the sidewalks along Route 45 with booths filled with a variety of handcrafted items, flowers and food. Business was good all weekend, thanks in part to the beautiful fall weather, which highlighted the colorful foliage and rural scenery of Aaronsburg. A newly formed group called Concerned Citizens for Haines Township had a booth manned by group secretary Kevin Sims. Sims said the group was created to address issues that are important to residents of the township. He cited low voter turnout, estimating that the township had about 500 registered voters, but typically only about 150 people vote. “Given that the municipal government has the power to make decisions, it’s important that they’re representing more people than just a few,” said Sims. He said that the group is encouraging more communication between citizens and government officials. “We have a zoning ordinance and some road closures coming up, and there hasn’t been a lot of public discussion about them,” said Sims. “We’re mostly getting together and trying to get people to talk.” The group has been meeting once a month. On the festival grounds, food stands were serving up homemade ham and bean soup, sticky rolls, hot sandwiches, fresh cider and other popular foods. Long lines of people waiting for soup and sticky rolls were common throughout the event. Pony rides and puppet shows were on hand for

In a garage behind the Penns Valley Area Historical Museum, board members were selling homemade apple dumplings. The dumplings are a signature food of the festival, and were served warm with choices of ice cream and syrup. Board members and volunteers gather several weeks in advance of the event to make about 1,500 dumplings, which are kept frozen until the festival begins. By
mid-afternoon on Sunday, the dumplings were sold out. Proceeds from the sale benefit the museum. Live music was also featured on the festival grounds. On Saturday afternoon, the Coburn Brass performed. This group plays Civil War-era songs, with several of its six members using vintage instruments. The band was formed by the late Guy

Firefighters show gear, talk to students By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
CENTRE HALL — To kick off Fire Prevention Week, four members of the Centre Hall Fire Company gave a presentation to students at the Centre Hall-Potter Elementary School on Oct. 6. Bill Meckley, Brandon Musser, Brad Harlos and Tom Barner talked to students in kindergarten through fourth grade in the school cafeteria. Barner, a 44-year veteran of the fire company, led the presentation and explained the fire triangle. “A fire needs three things: fuel, heat and oxygen,” he said. “Take away any one of those things and the fire goes out.” Meckley and Harlos donned their full firefighter’s gear, including coat, pants, helmet, gloves and breathing apparatus to show the students what a firefighter looks like if he or she comes into their homes to rescue them. “Don’t be afraid of these people,” said Barner. “If they call out to you, yell out to them so they can find you.” He noted that smoke and heat rise, and advised the students to stay low to breathe the good air. “Don’t hide under beds or in closets, or we won’t be able to find you,” he said. Barner stressed the importance of having smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and fire extinguishers in homes, and to have an escape plan in place in case of a
fire in the home. “If you see fire, get out and call 911,” he said. Barner noted that many home fires begin in the kitchen, with the most common cause being faulty or overheated coffee makers and toasters. He said that grease fires are another common type of fire in kitchens, and cautioned the students to never throw water on a grease fire. “Put a lid on the pan to smother the fire,” he advised. The fire company’s rescue truck was parked outside the cafeteria. Barner explained that the certified EMT personnel riding the truck must take 180 hours of training, and that the drivers of firefighting vehicles take an additional 16 hours of training. He explained the laws that require all vehicles on the road to pull over and stop to allow fire trucks with flashing lights and functioning sirens to pass safely. Barner said the fire company has been giving talks in many schools in the area, as well as at summer church programs, for several years. He said that most of the students thought the firefighters were paid for fighting fires. “They don’t realize we’re all volunteers,” he said. “All the hours of time we put into it — if we can save one life, it’s worth all the time. That’s what fire prevention is about — to save lives, to educate people to be aware of do’s and don’ts.”

The event will feature pit bull ambassadors, dog massages and pedicures, kids’ activities, giveaway items, vendors and more. Admission is free. Both events aim to dispel myths associated with pit bulls, raise awareness about overpopulation of pit bulls, provide sta-
tistics and information advocating against breed-specific legislation, promote responsible pet ownership and provide opportunities to foster or adopt a local pit bull. Happy Paws Happy Homes is an allvolunteer nonprofit organization based in Tyrone that offers low-cost spay and neuter assistance, including the area’s only pit-specific program, “Fix-A-Bull.” HPHH promotes adoption and helps to
re-home local dogs. “Pit bull” is a generic term often used to describe all dogs with similar traits and characteristics, including American pit bull terriers, American Staffordshire terriers and Staffordshire bull terriers. Throughout history, pit bull breeds have served as police dogs, search dogs, therapy dogs and farm dogs. Contrary to stereotypes, many pit bulls live in families with other animals and children.

Plenty happening this fall at the Bellefonte Art Museum BELLEFONTE — The Bellefonte Art Museum for Centre County is offering a variety of exhibits this fall. The museum’s artist registry now consists of more than 100 juried artists and new shows are featured regularly. In September, “Out of the Woods: Part I” featured Phil Sollman and his furniture. Now, the museum is showcasing the works of Jim Bright, Bob Carline, Jim Mikkelsen and Bill Seay in “Out of the Woods: Part II,” through Sunday, Nov. 30. These wood artists are all local. A new jewelry gallery opened in September on the museum’s second floor, Connie Cousins with Katrin Wolf as covers a wide the first featured jewvariety of events in elry designer.

had a fascinating life with several careers — successful artist, photographer, photojournalist, writer, lecturer and jewelry designer. Growing up as an only child nurtured Duda’s imagination. She published her first poem at 14 and her first short story at 17. She earned a degree in English literature and philosophy. Ever the traveler, she began to photograph her interests and The New York Times published her work. Duda lived in the slums of Mexico to get to know the Mixtec Indian women and gain their trust enough to allow her to photograph them. Her son Paul, who was pursuing a master’s degree in fine art photography at the time, collaborated with her. Together they held the show “The Marias of Revolution Road.” The New York Times sent Margaret to photograph and write about handcrafted jewelry components in the open markets of Hong Kong, Thailand and Burma. These beads and pendants were the impetus for Duda to design her own jewelry. “I like to include elements of four or five countries in all of my necklaces, bracelets or other items,” Duda said. “When I started, I brought 11 of my finds to the University of Pennsylvania Anthropology Museum and the museum bought eight of them. In California, I was asked to bring some samples of Chinese artifacts. What I actually had were Chinese silver needle cases. This led me to take 11 trips to China and from those experiences I wrote two
books on antique Chinese adornment.” In November, Jennifer Berghage will feature her jewelry in the jewelry gallery. According to her blog, Berghage has been busy designing new items for the November show. Fascinated by and in awe of Cirque du Soleil performances, she has been inspired to create pieces that portray, for her, the joy of Cirque. December finds Heidi Urbanski displaying her distinctive jewelry upstairs at the BAM. “I have been working with the copper foil technique of stained glass for eight years,” Urbanski said. “I started out making sun catchers and have evolved my work to include a jewelry line. I love working with wire and natural elements like stone and shell. My current favorite item is the mixed metal origins bracelet I made for The CW (Network) TV show ‘The Originals,’ a spinoff series of ‘The Vampire Diaries.’” The BAM recently announced a matching gift campaign, “2014 Take Art to Heart.” A generous gift from a local family is making the challenge possible. From now through Wednesday, Dec. 31, gifts will be matched one-for-one, making every dollar worth $2. The museum is funded entirely through donations and memberships and has grown to encompass 360 members and 50 volunteers. An average of 176 art lovers attend the monthly “First Sunday” exhibit openings. The museum is open from 1 to 4:30 p.m.
on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, and by appointment.

CHECK PRESENTED
National Recycling Coalition names Penn State ‘Best of the Best’ UNIVERSITY PARK — The National Recycling Coalition presented Penn State with its 2014 Outstanding Higher Education Award as one of the “Best of the Best.” The university was specifically recognized for its “exceptional program in recycling” and for “connecting higher education and industry.” The NRC is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting and enhancing recycling in the U.S. By partnering with its more than 6,000 member organizations, which includes other nonprofits, businesses, trade associations, individuals and government, it strives to ensure a recycling system committed to the conservation of natural resources. Penn State was selected above more than 70 other universities under consideration — fitting recognition for more than a quarter century of progress. Twenty-five years ago, the university recycled less than a ton of its waste. Today, University Park campus students, faculty, staff and visitors divert more than 100 types and almost 10,000 tons of waste from landfills. The success is driven by a university-wide commitment that includes partnerships with departments such as Housing and Food Services, the College of Agricultural Sciences, Hospitality Services and Intercollegiate Athletics. “I think it’s the scope of University Park’s new ‘möbius’ program (both the addition and scale of composting) that pushed our application over the top,” said Al Matyasovsky, supervisor of Central Support Services and program manager for möbius. Named for the infamous (and infinite) Möbius loop, the program is expanding campus composting to all offices and residence halls in an effort to “close the loop on waste.” This summer, Old Main became the 50th building at University Park to begin office composting, but all buildings at University Park will be part of the program in the coming months. A full rollout schedule of upcoming buildings is available, along with access to the möbius Yammer group where users with a Penn State ID can post specific recycling questions. “I know when I visited our composting facility last year that I was truly blown away by the magnitude of that effort,” said David Gray, senior vice president for finance and business. “Since then, our overall recycling initiative has only continued to expand and permeate all corners of the university.” In addition to composting, which is expected to increase the amount of waste diverted from the landfill to 75 percent, recycling for miscellaneous plastics (e.g., yogurt cups and other wide-mouth containers) is also now part of the möbius stations across campus. This added recycling could bring Penn State’s diversion to 85 percent. The award was presented at NRC’s annual Resource Recycling Conference in New Orleans. For more information on Penn State’s möbius program and the university’s sustainability efforts, visit www.sustainability.psu.edu.

PHILIPSBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Local romance novelist Bethany M. Sefchick, of Houtzdale, will be holding a book signing event from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 25, at Thieves Market, in Philipsburg, for her newly released paranormal romance short story, â&#x20AC;&#x153;And We Danced.â&#x20AC;? Set in Philipsburg, â&#x20AC;&#x153;And We Dancedâ&#x20AC;? is loosely based on the old I.O.O.F. building and the time period during the early 20th century that it BETHANY served as the Majestic Theater. AlSEFCHICK though it is technically a paranormal romance and features ghosts and ghost hunting, the story is more about the rich history of the building itself and a time period that is quickly being forgotten in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fast-paced modern world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The basis for this book really sprang from a combination of things,â&#x20AC;? Sefchick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My imagination came to life the moment I saw the old staircase in the current Thieves Market store. I remembered my grandfatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stories about the dance halls that used to populate the local towns as well as his stories about the Majestic. The plot for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dancedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; all came together from there in about one afternoon.â&#x20AC;? A limited number of Sefchickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other works, including the first three novels in the Altoona-based Ghosts Inc. series, will be available during the signing as well. Sefchick, a former Emmy-award winning television producer, has been writing romance novels for the last several years. She is the author of more than 20 novels, novellas and short stories, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Midsummer Nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Delusionâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crossed Hearts,â&#x20AC;? a modern romance. Her works are available at Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble. com, Kobo, AllRomance.com, Google Play and Lulu.com. Print versions are available at Thieves Market. In addition to writing, she also founded her own handcrafted jewelry company, Easily Distracted Designs.

The pack is working toward earning their Arrow of Light awards, the highest rank that can be achieved as a Cub Scout. To complete the community service portion of their project, they will visit and bring needed items to the Veterans Hospital in Altoona. The dinner will help offset the cost of the project.

The Edsel â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the wrong car at the wrong time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a car guy. I have loved cars since I was a kid. I can remember being about 8 or 9 years old in the late 1950s and learning to recognize the cars of that era. I knew that most Fords had round taillights, Cadillacs had tailfins and Dodges had push-button transmissions. (We had a 1957 Dodge station wagon.) One automotive event I can still remember from that time is the introduction of the 1958 Edsel, an all-new car made by the Ford Motor Company. The Edsel was introduced in a flurry of media hype touting its advanced design and never-before-seen features that were supposedly way ahead of the competition. However, soon after the Edsel debuted in late 1957, Ford received a harsh reality check when the car line failed to live up to its hype and became a very poor seller. By 1960, the Edsel was gone, and its very name entered the American lexicon as a synonym for failure. I saw a few Edsels in those days: Sam Stitzer covers Penns Valley for Penns Valley High School teacher the Centre County Richard Henderson owned a 1958 Gazette. Email him model, and I remember seeing brothat pennsvalley@ ers Bob and Tom Corman, of Spring centrecounty Mills, tooling around in one of the very gazette.com. few 1960 models produced. Since that time I could probably count on one hand the number of Edsels I have actually seen in person. On Sept. 29, I attended the Milesburg Apple Harvest Festival Car Show, and there sat a beautiful 1958 Edsel Citation convertible owned by Mervin and Dorothy Moyer, who reside in the Marsh Creek area. In 1958, Edsels came in two sizes. The cheaper Pacer and Ranger models were built on the Ford chassis, and the Corsair and Citation models used the larger Mercury chassis. The Moyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Citation convertible featured the distinctive wrap-around plastic rear window in the cloth top, which was also used on the Mercurys. Mervin Moyer said he has owned the car since 1961. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sat around inside for 20 years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it had a motor problem â&#x20AC;&#x201D; then in the early 80s, I got it out and got it restored,â&#x20AC;? said Moyer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never did a frame-off (restoration) on it because it had no rust whatsoever.â&#x20AC;? The car was repainted in the original factory-white color, and Dorothy Moyer pointed out that this car is one of very few that were painted in a single color. Most were done in two-tone color schemes, which were very popular in the 1950s. The interior has its original gold-and-cream-colored vinyl upholstery. The dashboard features Edselâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;rolling domeâ&#x20AC;? rotating speedometer, and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teletouchâ&#x20AC;? automatic transmission which was operated by push buttons in the center of the steering wheel. Mervin Moyer belongs to the Pennsylvania chapter of the Edsel Owners Club, and recently competed in a national Edsel competition in Dayton, Ohio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got a golden trophy award and I also got a Ford Motor Company award,â&#x20AC;? he said. He drives the car to nearby shows, but trailers it to Dayton and other distant events.
SAM STITZER
A FRONT VIEW of Mervin and Dorothy Moyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1958 Edsel Citation convertible shows its distinctive styling. The Moyers lived in Lebanon County before moving to Centre County in 2000, and the Edsel was found in Dauphin County. The Edsel was created by Ford, whose executives and marketing department felt that a car was needed to slot between the cheaper Ford models and the bigger, more luxurious Mercury models. Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s American competitors, General Motors and Chrysler, each had five different lines of cars, whereas Ford had just three â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ford, Mercury and Lincoln. It soon became apparent that Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marketing research was fatally flawed. The Edsel was subsequently described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the wrong car at the wrong time.â&#x20AC;? A perfect storm of factors killed the Edsel. First, and most obvious, was its styling. Its vertical tapered oval grille center and squinty catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye tail lights gave it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;love it or hate itâ&#x20AC;? styling. Unfortunately, most potential buyers hated it. The public especially ridiculed the grille, saying it resembled a horse collar or a toilet seat. The second factor was pricing. Cheaper Edsels overlapped some Ford models, and some of the high-line Edsels actually cost more than some Mercury models. Ford found the Edsel competing with its own siblings. Third, its timing was bad. The onset of an economic recession in late 1957 turned buyers toward lower-priced
SAM STITZER/For the Gazette
models and away from the Edsel, which, being a brand new car, had no established brand loyalty. The final blow was quality problems. Reports of mechanical flaws with the cars surfaced, due primarily to lack of quality control and confusion of parts with other Ford models. Edsel owners reported poor workmanship, with complaints ranging from faulty welding to power steering failure. By 1959, Ford was against the ropes with the Edsel. The larger models were discontinued, and the car was mildly restyled, still retaining a less obtrusive version of the horse collar grille. The 1960 models resembled warmed-over 1960 Fords, which they essentially were. In November 1959, the Edsel ceased production, with just more than 2,800 of the 1960 models produced. The company lost $350 million, or the equivalent of $2.8 billion in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dollars, on the venture. Only 118,287 Edsels were built. By U.S. auto industry standards, these production figures were dismal, particularly when spread across a run of three model years. But perhaps people like the Moyers had the last laugh. Their Edsel is a rare and very valuable collector car, gathering the admiration of car show attendees, and filling them with great pride. Not too shabby for â&#x20AC;&#x153;the wrong car at the wrong time.â&#x20AC;?
Benefit bake sale planned for Curtin Village Historic Site HOWARD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A benefit bake sale will take place at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 18, at Curtin Village Historic Site, 215 Curtin Village Road.

Fall festival, halloween trail offer something new PETERSBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Doug Wentzel has helped organize the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Halloween Trail at Shaverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creek Environmental Center for more than 20 years, but he still manages to get excited about it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different every year,â&#x20AC;? said Wentzel, a naturalist and program director at Shaverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creek, Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nature center. Wentzel oversees the Penn State students who design and run the trail, a popular feature of the annual centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fall Harvest Festival. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival will be held on Saturday, Oct. 18, and Sunday, Oct. 19. Approximately 1,500 visitors usually turn out for the annual festival, which features pumpkin carving, live music, storytelling, face painting and nature activities. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme for the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Halloween Trail is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pennsylvania Plants and Animals Have Diverse Stories to Tell.â&#x20AC;? Student trail guides will play the part of traveling storytellers and teach families about plants and animals, ranging from woodpeckers to eastern hemlock to bobcats. The Halloween Trail, which is â&#x20AC;&#x153;non-scary,â&#x20AC;? has stations that are developed each year by students enrolled in the recreation, park and tourism management course â&#x20AC;&#x153;Principles of Environmental In-
terpretation.â&#x20AC;? Students also earn credits for helping organize and orchestrate the festival. More than 100 Penn State students are involved in the festival in some way, from designing the trail stations to running carnivaltype games, such as pumpkin bowling, or demonstrating an old-fashioned apple cider press. The two-day festival will also feature birds-of-prey demonstrations and local food vendors. Festivalgoers can enter pumpkin-carving and costume contests; winners will be announced each day. (Pumpkins for $2 and carving tools will be available at the festival.) There will also be a prize each day for the best fallthemed dessert entered in the Harvest Baking Challenge. Admission to the festival, which runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, is free. Tickets for the Halloween Trail are $5 for children and adults, and free for ages 3 and younger. Advance purchase is recommended by calling (814) 863-2000. For more information, visit www.shaverscreek. org/fallfestival. Volunteers are also invited to carve more than 250 jack-oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;-lanterns that are used to decorate the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Halloween Trail on Thursday, Oct. 16, from 6 to 9 p.m. Pumpkins and spooky treats are provided.

Take time to make moments count By ANDREA BOYLES Special to the Gazette
Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re incredibly busy. Folks rush from work to sports practice to music lessons with a quick run through the drive-thru for dinner on the road. Kids move from class to class, then event to event, wondering when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have time to study for that test. In all the rush to keep our kids involved and give them the best opportunities, we can sometimes miss what matters most â&#x20AC;&#x201D; our attention. To make sure kids get that attention, even in the midst of the hustle and bustle that is life, a few simple tips can make all the difference.
First, every day, no matter what, be sure to really look your kids in the eye. Whether that means crouching down when they pop off the school bus, or getting on your tiptoes to really see the eyes of that evergrowing teen, make eye contact. That intimate moment will say â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love youâ&#x20AC;? in a special way. Second, make the most of car time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tempting to let videos and music keep kids busy while we think about our â&#x20AC;&#x153;to doâ&#x20AC;? list, but car time can be the very best time
for conversation with young people. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something about looking out the window that makes it easier for kids to open up. Take advantage of it. Finally, ask questions. Yes, the kids will complain, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK. By asking questions, you let them know you are interested in their world, you let them know what topics are OK, and you just might get an important answer. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re incredibly busy, but that just makes time move even faster. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste it. Andrea Boyles is the CEO of the Centre County Youth Service Bureau.
Fall festival set STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The 12th annual Historic Harvest Festival will take place from 2 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 2, at 548 Puddintown Road. This free community event is sponsored by Centre Region Parks and Recreation and will explore life during the harvest in the 1800s. There will be demonstrations, games, refreshments, crafts, music and more. It will take place outdoors, rain or shine. The third annual Scarecrow Stuff-It Contest will also take place during the festival. Teams can register before the event, which begins at 2:30 p.m., by calling (814) 231-3071.

Make kitchen remodeling a snap By McClatchy-Tribune News Service Kitchen remodeling is always a huge endeavor since the kitchen is the hub of activity in the home. Being without the kitchen during remodeling can be a real pain in the neck. Morning coffee and newspaper will take on a whole new meaning when workers are in your house each and every day. Even a patient person will be driven out of her mind waiting for normalcy to return. Never fear: Here are a few tips to make the remodeling process fly by. Start with a plan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a detailed road map, if you will. First think of what you want your kitchen to look like and what amenities you wish to include. Aesthetics are important, and functionality is imperative. Make a list of what you want, such as a double oven, a warming tray, cabinets with pullouts, a more efficient pantry, etc. If you know you want a new kitchen but arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure of the details, look through magazines to get ideas or go online to home-decor sites to check out possibilities. Make a wish list even if the list includes more than you know you can afford. Then take those ideas to a specialist to iron them out. He will see what your desires are and make suggestions as to what might be better or less expensive. Once the plans are on paper, place yourself in the space mentally. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to take your time; you can take days, even weeks, if necessary, to be sure you like
A MODERN, newly-remodeled kitchen is easier to attain than one might think.

what you will be getting and are comfortable with how the space works. A kitchen designer can plan a perfect kitchen, but if it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t perfect for you, what good is it? Remodeling a kitchen can cost a lot of money â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to the tune of $40,000 to $50,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so be sure you end up with what you really want. The good news is that when you have your ideal kitchen, you will enjoy it each and every day. A remodeled kitchen also has great real-estate value. According to the National Association of Realtors, the best way to add value to your home leading to a sale is to update your kitchen. While the remodeling process is going on, however, plan on eating out a lot, because you will get tired of pizza and the pizza-delivery guy really fast.

BELLEFONTE’S NICK JABCO looks for running room during the Oct. 10 game with Penns Valley. The Red Raiders won the game in overtime, 20-12.
Overtime thriller
Bellefonte battles back to shock Penns Valley, 20-12 By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com
SPRING MILLS — With about five minutes to go during the Oct. 10 game between Bellefonte and Penns Valley, the Rams drove the ball into the Red Zone and looked to put the final nail in the Red Raiders’ coffin. Rams’ quarterback Ben Alexander appeared to score a touchdown, but it was called back due to a holding penalty. Instead of putting the Red Raiders away, they had some life. Bellefonte drove 88 yards over the final four minutes of regulation, tied it and won in overtime, 20-12, on a perfect fall evening in Spring Mills. It was a thrilling win for the Red Raiders, who improved to 2-5 with the hardfought victory. “It was nice; no one handed it to us,” said Bellefonte head coach Shanon Manning. “Penns Valley is a tough football team, but our kids came in here and took it. We had four minutes … we had no reason to walk down that field, score the touchdown and send us into overtime. But our kids stood up tall. I’m proud of them.”
After two lopsided losses at Tyrone (477) and Clearfield (41-6), it would have been easy for the Red Raiders to fold up their tents. According to Manning, there was no way that was going to happen. “If you know these kids, that just isn’t their personality,” Manning explained. “They bust their tails every week. They work hard. They’re just a good group of kids.” The loss dropped the Rams to 2-5 on the season and all but eliminated them from playoff contention. Penns Valley head coach Martin Tobias left the field following the loss and was unavailable for comment. Things started well enough for the Red Raiders. After a poor Penns Valley punt gave Bellefonte excellent field position, running back Austin Jackson scored from 23 yards out. Matt Feldman missed the PAT and the Red Raiders held a 6-0 advantage. But the Rams answered when quarterback Ben Alexander scored on a 1-yard plunge to make it 6-6. The two-point conversion failed, and the game was knotted at the intermission.
In the second half, the Rams came out of the locker room and grabbed a 12-6 lead. Alexander sparked the Rams with a 51-yard pass play to Luke Bitsko. That play set the Rams up with excellent field position at the Bellefonte 24-yard line. Alexander took it from there, scoring a 24-yard touchdown on an option play. Again, the two-point conversion failed and the Rams had a 12-6 lead. The Rams’ lead remained at six points until Bellefonte took over with time winding down. The Red Raiders used a variety of weapons to march down the field. On the first play, running back Dillon Kephart broke loose for an 11-yard gain. Sophomore quarterback Chase Gardner then completed a 22-yard pass to Dan Caprio. After that, Kephart (41 yards) and Nick Jabco (23 yards) provided the offense as the Red Raiders ran the ball right at the Rams. A change at quarterback paid dividends for the Red Raiders. Gardner, a sophomore, didn’t have gaudy stats, but he didn’t turn the ball over and gave the squad a muchneeded spark. “I think it shows that these kids believe
in what the coaches do,” Manning said matter-of-factly. Gardner capped the drive with a 1-yard plunge with just eight seconds left in the game to knot things at 12-12. However, Feldman missed the PAT and the game headed to overtime. In OT, the Red Raiders needed just two plays to score. Following a 1-yard gain, Tyler Kreger scored from 9 yards out. Kephart added the two-point conversion to make it 20-12. “We really got on the offensive linemen. We really, really grinded on them. They came out those last two drives and did an awesome job,” Manning said. Now, the pressure was on Penns Valley. The Rams got the ball all the way to the 2-yard line, but a bad snap resulted in a turnover and the game was over. “I couldn’t even breathe,” Manning said. “Then they have the bad snap. The kids never stopped battling, all the way until the end.” Penns Valley is back on the road, traveling to Chestnut Ridge on Friday, Oct. 17. Bellefonte returns home for three in a row, starting with Central on homecoming.
State High falls to Harrisburg in wild homecoming contest By MATT ALLIBONE StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — State College High head football coach Matt Lintal has preached to his team all season about the importance of being able to finish. It is a lesson he will have to continue to teach after the Oct. 10 game. Taking on Harrisburg at home, the Little Lions produced moments of brilliance all night, yet could never find any consistency, losing to the Cougars 43-29 in a wild contest. “Whether it’s in the red zone or on third-and-5 when you’ve got to make a key stop, (finishing) is a point of emphasis every week,” Lintal said. “Our kids came out and were ready to go; it was just the flow of the game and those ups and downs. Harrisburg was ready to go.” A play into the game, it seemed like it might be State College’s night. Kellin Valentine took the opening kickoff back 95 yards to give the Little Lions a 7-0 lead. Despite the quick start, the Little Lions
were unable to sustain any momentum for much of the first quarter. After getting a quick three-and-out, State College had a promising drive end when running back Jordan Misher was stuffed for no gain on fourth-and-3 at the Cougars 24. Harrisburg’s offense would quickly capitalize on the change in momentum. Quarterback Mikale Clark hit receivers Martice Jones and Kani Little with a pair of completions over 20 yards before sneaking the ball in himself from the 1-yard line to even the score at 7-7. It was the Cougars’ defense that made a statement next. Little picked off a Weakland pass and returned it 58 yards for a touchdown to quiet the crowd and give Harrisburg a 14-7 lead. “(Little) is such a talent,” Lintal said. “You never can count them out and they’ve got athletes who can score on any given play.” Seemingly in trouble, the Lions would respond with a field goal and a beautiful 28-yard touchdown pass from Weakland to Valentine to put them ahead.
A missed extra point left the score at 16-14 with four minutes remaining in the half. Even after all that, the first half action still wasn’t over, as Harrisburg methodically went down the field and scored on a 4-yard toss from Clark to Amechie Walker. That score, with two seconds left on the clock, gave the Cougars a 21-16 halftime lead. “That was a killer,” Lintal said. “For them to get the ball in the end zone before the half … it could have shaken out differently.” Coming back onto the field after halftime, the Little Lions looked sluggish, giving up consecutive touchdown passes of 13 yards to Jones and 34 yards to Little, making it 34-16 just five minutes into the third quarter. All of a sudden, what looked like a close game now seemed like a blowout. However, the Lions quickly showed they weren’t done yet, scoring two quick touchdowns of their own. First, a pass interference call on Harrisburg on a Little Lions fake punt attempt led
to a short touchdown plunge by Misher. After a successful onside kick, Weakland hit tight end Brett Graham with a 42yard touchdown pass. That made the score 34-29 at the end of the third quarter. “We knew we needed something to get back into it,” Lintal said. “We took a couple of chances and they panned out.” Although a dramatic comeback seemed likely to happen, the Cougars soon put the game out of reach. Running back Sheldon Snell got a drive started with a 32-yard run and finished it off with a 5-yard TD to make the score 41-29. The final minutes featured a Harrisburg safety and two late interceptions of Weakland passes as the Lions fell to 3-4 on the season. “Through those ups and downs you’ve got to stick together and trust your teammates and our kids really did that,” Lintal said. “They don’t quit, they don’t stop. They don’t stop believing no matter what.” The Little Lions are back on the road for week 8, taking on Central Dauphin East on Friday, Oct. 17, at 7 p.m.

Penn State struggles continue in loss at Michigan By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — As is usual a few days after a close loss, it is easy to see how Penn State could have come out of Michigan Stadium with a victory on Oct. 11. The game certainly had its share of “couldas” and “wouldas,” but in the end, the Nittany Lions didn’t get it done during the 18-13 loss. It would not be difficult for Penn State fans to decry the Lions’ second consecutive loss, and their second loss in six games, but there is another way to look at it: Tough as it was, it could be seen as part of the learning curve for a very young Penn State team. Michigan absolutely had to win that game — its season and probably its coach’s job was in the balance. The Wolverines were 0-2 in the Big Ten, on a threegame losing streak, and at home in the Big House, at night, before a national TV audience. Everything was in place for a big night. Nevertheless, Penn State could have (should have?) won the game had one or two things fallen the right way. But nothing did, and the Nittany Lions lost. Put it in the file. There are many other games like this yet to be played. An argument can be made that the turning point in this game came after the first three possessions. Penn State took the opening kickoff and drove — mostly on the ground — inside the Michigan 10-yard line. But the drive stalled, and Penn State settled for a field goal and a 3-0 lead. Michigan took over and drove in PSU territory, but it appeared that the Lions would take the ball away. Instead of a Ryan Keiser interception, however, Michigan’s Devin Funchess took the ball away from Keiser and raced into the end zone for a 43-yard touchdown and a 7-3 Michigan lead. Undaunted, Penn State again drove into the red zone, and again came away with just a field goal. Instead of holding a 10-7, or 14-7, or even a 14-0 lead, the Lions were behind 7-6. With the way the Penn State defense was playing — the Wolverines did not score another touchdown — those
eight unrealized points were critical. There’s not a coach in the world who hasn’t said that a point in the first quarter is worth just as much as a point in the fourth quarter. Penn State head coach James Franklin summed it all up in his post-game press conference. “Obviously, a very, very tough loss,” he said. “I feel for the kids. They are frustrated. “We were able to start the game early on being able to run the ball and mix it up. As the game went on, we were not able to do that. We have had trouble protecting all year long. We have a pretty talented quarterback, and we haven’t been able to protect him. Six sacks, probably a lot more pressures than that. “I thought our defense played solid, but we were not able to get off the field on a bunch of third-and-longs. They made some plays when they had to. “Every time we were able to get some momentum, we had the big punt return, and it comes back for a penalty. We get the on-sides kick, recovered it and got an off-sides penalty. “The bye week is coming at a good time. We have a lot of work to do in a lot of different areas. We knew we would have challenges up front, but it is time to stop talking about that. We have to get better there, fast.” The bye week is the second in two weeks, and it comes before one of the biggest games of the season — Ohio State before a White-Out crowd on Saturday, Oct. 25. That will be followed by five games on consecutive weekends in November. All of the preparations and improvements Penn State makes in the time off will certainly be severely tested by the Buckeyes, and Penn State fans will closely watch for signs of progress — including more time for Christian Hackenberg, fewer sacks, more rushing yardage and some improvements in special teams and punting. And whatever does happen in the game, good or bad, will without a doubt be added to the file.

PSU gets average marks at Michigan By BEN JONES StateCollege.com
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Penn State was done in on Oct. 11 by poor decisions and poor execution once again, while the Michigan Wolverines made just enough plays to come away with their first win after losing three games. The Nittany Lions did some good things early on, scoring on their opening three drives and playing strong defense. But, as they have nearly the entire season, they struggled to move the ball and once again failed to protect Christian Hackenberg from nearly non-stop pressure. Since Penn State fans will likely erase this one from the memory banks sooner rather than later, here are the grades for Penn State’s offense, defense and special teams. Read and forget.

Area football teams make playoff push By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com
There’s no dominating team in Centre County in 2014. Every team in the area is under .500, so if there’s going to be a playoff push, now is the time. The big game for Week 8 is State College and Central Dauphin East. State College desperately needs a win as it readies for the postseason. A closer look at the games:
STATE COLLEGE (3-4) AT CENTRAL DAUPHIN EAST (6-1)
Another week, another nasty opponent. There’s no letup for the State College Little Lions in this year’s MidPenn Conference. On Friday, Oct. 17, SC travels to Central Dauphin East, a team that is 6-1 overall and 4-0 in the conference. The Panthers lost only to traditionally tough Wilson West Lawn way back on Sept. 5, 31-14. Their conference wins include Mifflin County, 33-12,
Cumberland Valley, 28-0, Harrisburg, 20-19, and Chambersburg, 42-19. The game against the Little Lions looms big because only State College and Carlisle stand in the way of East coming into their traditional rivalry game against Central Dauphin with an undefeated conference record. It wouldn’t be wise, however, for the Panthers to look too far past the Little Lions. State College is 2-2 in the MidPenn and played Central Dauphin to a virtual standstill in a close 10-7 loss. On Oct. 10, speedy Harrisburg used big plays to pull away from the Little Lions in the fourth quarter in a 43-29 loss. Uncharacteristically, Little Lion quarterback John Weakland threw three interceptions — one a pick-6 — in the Harrisburg game, and State College was outgained 317 total yards to 185. Weakland and Jordan Misher were, as usual, the offensive leaders for the Little Lions, but the State College defense could not hold Harrisburg when it needed to. CD East will present some similar problems. The Panthers have a balanced offense that produces just more than

300 yards per game, 168 passing and 141 on the ground. Quarterbacks Justis Jacobs and Jahad Niebauer share the position and have combined for 84 completions in 170 attempts for 1,178 yards and 15 touchdowns. Senior Joe Lemelle leads the running attack with 525 yards on 77 attempts, while Neubauer has added 278 yards on 43 tries. Defensively, the Panthers are very aggressive, claiming 23 sacks and eight interceptions so far this season. In all, another Mid-Penn dust-up for the Little Lions that shapes up to be very close. State College will have to take care of the ball and hope that its defense returns to Central Dauphin form.

WOW!
Bellefonte was on the ropes against Penns Valley on Oct. 10, but the Raiders somehow held on, tied the game in regulation, and then won it, 20-12, in overtime. The kind of grit showed by the Raiders against Penns Valley is another sign of the continuing improvement of the Bellefonte team. Their upcoming game will be another “How far have we come?” indicator when the Central Dragons visit Rogers Stadium. Central is 5-2 and coming off a 40-7 win over Philipsburg-Osceola. The Dragons’ two losses, to Chestnut Ridge and Tyrone, were extremely close, and they are, as usual, right in the mix for a Mountain League title. Central averages just under 300 yards of offense each game, and the Dragons score 29 points per game. Junior quarterback Noah Benton has thrown for 819 yards and nine touchdowns this season, while running backs Mike Mock and Alex Hoenstine have combined for 830 yards rushing and eight touchdowns. Combined with a traditionally stingy defense, the Dragons will be a tough test for the Raiders, especially since they are right in the league title mix and can’t afford to slip up. Kickoff at Rogers Stadium is set for 7 p.m.
PENNS VALLEY (2-5) AT CHESTNUT RIDGE (6-1)
Penns Valley was driving for what would have been the winning touchdown against Bellefonte on Oct. 10 — and the Rams actually scored it, but it was called back — only to see the Raiders steal the momentum and the game in overtime, 20-12. During this meeting, the Penns Valley defense will be severely tested against one of the area’s best offenses in Chestnut Ridge. The Lions have only one loss, to Fort Hill, and two weeks ago beat Central, 15-12, in a last minute thriller. Don’t look for anything fancy from Chestnut Ridge. The Lions run the ball, racking up 200 yards per game and scoring 17 of their 20 offensive touchdowns on the ground. Tyler Wiley and Matt Wiley are the premier runners for Chestnut Ridge, and they have combined for 927 yards and 14 touchdowns. Tyler Wiley is also the quarterback, and he has thrown for 444 yards and three scores, but he primarily looks to run the ball. Penns Valley counters with dual-threat quarterback Ben Alexander, running back Chase Collison and tall receivers Luke Bitsko and Sean Beamesderfer. This game, though, looks like it will be all about defense, and the team that can make stops and force a turnover or two will have the upper hand. Playoff, Page 25

On the high school gridiron, a pair of memorable victories Week 7 in high school football in this area was full of surprises, and none more so than in the Bellefonte and Bald Eagle Area games. Maybe “surprises” is the wrong word here because it’s not all that earthshaking for Bellefonte to edge Penns Valley in a close game or for BEA to win at Huntingdon. It was the way those wins happened. Bellefonte came into this season laboring under a more than two-year losing streak and looking to make incremental imPat Rothdeutsch provements week to covers sports for week through a tough The Centre County Gazette. Email him schedule. The Raiders’ first at sports@ win came against centrecounty Philipsburg-Osceola gazette.com in a game that on paper was a toss-up. The Raiders, however, scored early and often and beat the Mounties. On Oct. 10, at Penns Valley, the Raiders won in a way that they haven’t in more than two years. They were down late, 12-6, and facing another loss with Penns Valley driving for what would have been the winning touchdown. Instead of folding the tents, however, Bellefonte’s defense held. And then the offense went on a long touchdown drive that tied the game with fewer than 10 seconds to play. A missed extra point gave Penns Valley life in overtime, but no problem. The Raiders struck again in OT and pulled out a heart-pounding 20-12 win. At the same time the Rams and Raiders were playing, Bald Eagle Area was taking on high-scoring Huntingdon in Huntingdon. The Eagles came into the game with a 1-5 record and on a four-game losing streak in which they scored a total of 12 points in all four games. But something clicked into gear for BEA, and before the end of the first half the Eagles were trouncing Huntingdon, 25-0. Mitchell Struble ran for 252 yards in the

game and four touchdowns, leading the BEA offense to its biggest night of the season. Where that kind of performance came from all of a sudden, no one knows. It may have been in the Eagles all along, hidden behind too many mistakes, turnovers and penalties. BEA fans are hoping the team can keep that up, and we will find out on Friday, Oct. 17, when Clearfield comes to visit.
ANOTHER ZEPHYR ON THE WAY
I graduated from Whitehall High School, just north of Allentown, and probably the most famous of all the players to come out of the Zephyr football program was Penn State All-American and All-Pro linebacker Matt Millen. Millen, teamed with fellow All-American Bruce Clark, led Penn State teams that were all in the national championship discussion and among the best defensive teams in the country. He is still considered the best football player ever to come out of Whitehall. But hold on. That title may be in jeopardy, and it may be taken by another player committed to play for the Nittany Lions — 5-foot-11, 190-pound running back Saquon Barkley. Barkley, a senior and a 2015 commit to Penn State, has been nothing short of sensational in his final season at Whitehall. Playing against traditional powers such as Liberty, Freedom, Parkland, Easton and Allentown Central Catholic, Barkley has rushed for a total of 1,216 yards and 18 touchdowns in seven games so far this season. He has also thrown for 142 yards and two touchdowns (both against Parkland), had a punt return score and a kickoff return touchdown, and he’s caught 10 passes for 160 yards and three more touchdowns. Against Parkland (a 38-24 Whitehall win), Barkley ran 28 times for 158 yards, completed two passes for 142 yards and two more touchdowns, and caught a pass for 15 yards. Whitehall still has four games to play, with a good chance of District 11 playoffs, so who knows what Barkley’s final stats will look like. Whatever they are, and they will be impressive, his next stop is slated to be right here in Happy Valley.
Inaugural Golf Pro Series champ crowned PHILIPSBURG — The Central Pennsylvania Golf Pro Championship Series concluded its season-long points championship on Oct. 9 at Philipsburg Elks Lodge and Country Club, with Josh Swires of Iron Masters Country Club taking home the crown. Jack Brennan, of Mountain View Country Club, was the runner-up, falling short by only three points. The series had 21 local golf professionals compete for championship points at six events held throughout the season at different local courses. The points were awarded based on order of finish in each event. The rest of the top 10 included: Judd Caruso, Belles Springs, third; Brian Short and Steve Wagner, Penn State, tie for fourth; Sean Kaczynski, Clinton, sixth; Tom Koehle, Iron Masters, seventh; Paul Fischer, Philipsburg Elks, eighth; Troy Monahan, Sinking Valley, ninth; and Joe Hughes, Penn State, 10th. The winners of each individual event were: Josh Swires, May event at Belle Springs, 71; Jack Brennan and Josh Swires, June event at Mountain View Country Club, 73; Judd Caruso and Steve Wager, July event at Lewistown, 73; Steve Wager, August event at Iron Masters, 74; Brian Short, September event at Clinton, 78; and Judd Caruso, October event at Philipsburg Elks, 72. The 2015 season is already in the planning stages with Penn State, Sinking Valley and Williamsport hosting events and
the 2015 championship scheduled at this year’s champion’s club, Iron Masters.
MOUNTAIN VIEW HOSTS FALL OPEN
Mountain View Golf Club recently held its Fall Open, which had Ginny Hosterman and Maribel Lies shooting a 75 for first place gross in the women’s division. The net division was won by Jeannie Andrews and Geri Stonebraker, carding a 62. In the men’s division, first place gross went to Tim Ranck and Chris Leitzell, posting a 71 and winning on a tiebreaker. Second place gross, with a 71, was Tom Sgriccia and Mike Sgriccia, while third place gross had Walt Beatty and Steve Fishbaine posting a 71. First place net was won on a tiebreak by Bill Gates and Neal King, who carded a 62, while finishing second was the team of Josh O’Brien and Justin Leiter. Third place net went to Bud McCartney and Daryl Early, posting a round of 63. Also, Mountian View’s assistant golf professional Tyler Martz recently passed his playing ability test. Martz shot rounds of 80 and 75 and needed a 4-foot putt on his last hole to pass the test. According to Mountain View head golf professional Jack Brennan, “It was a great performance under pressure. Passing a playing test is required to become a PGA of America golf professional. Tyler can now move forward to becoming a full-fledged PGA member; the process normally takes three to four years.”

CLEARFIELD (5-2) AT BALD EAGLE AREA (2-5)
If that was the real Bald Eagle Area that took out Huntingdon on Oct. 10 by a score of 32-12, then this showdown against Clearfield could be a classic. One thing is for sure — BEA can’t fall into some of its old habits against the Bison. Clearfield has wins this season against Penns Valley, Huntingdon, Brockway, Bellefonte and Tyrone. The Bison lost only to Keyser, W.Va., and Central. Clearfield runs up 337 yards of offense a game, with 237 of that coming on the ground. Erik Sellers (719 yards) and Seth Caldwell (685 yards) share the running duties, and junior quarterback Cody Spaid operates the passing game that has amassed 678 yards and eight touchdowns this season. In addition, the Bison defense gives up only 15 points per game, and has chalked up 16 sacks and three interceptions. BEA put it all together against Huntingdon: 400 yards of offense, five touchdowns (four by Mitchell Struble), a 25-point early lead and a defense that gave up only 175 total yards. Struble ran 33 times for 252 yards, and although BEA still had nine penalties in the game, the Eagles did not turn the ball over.

OFFENSE: D+
It looked like the night was going to be a good one for Penn State’s offense after three straight scoring drives to open the game, including 40 yards on the ground during the first drive. But that feeling quickly evaporated as Penn State put together only three drives the rest of the game that were longer than 10 yards. Hackenberg was sacked six times and hurried even more en route to a 21-for-32 night for 160 yards. Hackenberg’s only touchdown pass to DaeSean Hamilton marked the first TD for a Penn State receiver on American soil this season — the last one was made during the UCF game in Ireland — but Hamilton would only make one catch in the second half after being targeted early and often. Hackenberg’s only interception of the game was a byproduct of continuing pressure. Bill Belton had 14 carries for 69 yards in what was really the first meaningful rushing performance of the season in a big game. Other than that, the offensive line was as it has been all year — full of issues.

tany Lion defense kept Penn State in the game. Anytime you can hold an opponent under 20 points, it’s a positive. The D kept Michigan from doing too much damage, despite several drives that started near or past midfield. This grade is down from a B+ performance because the defense failed to capitalize on two key opportunities. A Ryan Keiser should-have-been interception turned into a touchdown and Mike Hull had a chance for a pick-6 but couldn’t hang on to the ball. Anthony Zettel and Deion Barnes both had strong games and all-in-all Penn State kept Devin Gardner from doing too much damage, aside from a lone 25-yard run. Penn State gave up 64 yards on the ground to the tune of 2.1 yards a carry.
SPECIAL TEAMS: C-
Sam Ficken made both of his mid-range field goals and had success driving the ball deep on kickoffs. Michigan never had a good kick return and Penn State’s coverage unit held strong. The big negative on Saturday was the punting, which gave Michigan great field position on several occasions — and a better offense would have scored even more points. A 33-yard average by Chris Gulla over the span of five kicks isn’t a good number. Penn State’s return unit didn’t do anything special, but wasn’t really given the chance.

Lions tackle old problems as new ones mount By BEN JONES
of scrimmage. He punted five times for an average of 33 yards a kick. That made the field short for Penn State’s defense and in many ways continued to give Michigan bursts of momentum as the crowd cheered poor punt after poor punt. The whole thing got so bad that, by the time the game was over, Franklin would admit the punting position is still very much an open competition. The Nittany Lions aren’t exactly overflowing with punters on the depth chart, which means Gulla might just have to figure out what is going wrong all on his own. And at the end of the day, Gulla walked on for a reason. ■ Leadership, or something? Receiver Geno Lewis didn’t see much of the field on Saturday for reasons that weren’t entirely clear — even after the game. “It was the way the whole week worked out with practice and some other things based on film and things we’ve been evaluating all year long. There were a lot of factors that went into it. Not one specific reason,” Franklin said. So, the Big Ten’s third leading receiver isn’t making enough plays? Maybe he was banged up. That is something Franklin has on a short, but strict, list of things he won’t talk about. “I don’t get into injuries. But there’s a lot of factors that went into it. Film grades, practice, a lot of things that went into it, based on the games all season long, looking at grades and how guys have been playing, missed assignments, execution, practice habits. There’s always some health things that get into those things this time of year. There’s a lot of factors. We also feel like some of those young guys deserve an opportunity.” So, somehow, one of Penn State’s offensive leaders caught only three passes and hardly saw the field against Michigan because his film grades didn’t add up and other players deserved that opportunity? If that’s a difficult answer for you to buy, you’d be correct. The result was a loss in a game Penn State could have won. Mistakes doomed the Nittany Lions and new issues came to the surface to pile on top of old ones. But it’s telling that Franklin would say his team has a bye week at the right time after just coming out of a bye. Problems
StateCollege.com
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Penn State might still be paying the price for those NCAA sanctions, and that might be the biggest hurdle the Nittany Lions have to overcome, but it doesn’t mean there is a blank check lying out on the field to excuse every mistake. Sanctions may be the reason the offensive line is so thin, but that’s not why timeouts are wasted, punts are shanked and leadership is questioned. And in a close contest where your opponent hasn’t won in three games and hasn’t exactly been a display of coherent football itself, those kinds of unforced errors will be the death of you. Especially when you’re a team already dealing with big, unpreventable obstacles in the first place. The loss against Michigan looked similar, the issues looked new: ■ Communication, or the lack thereof. Near the end of the first quarter Penn State faced a short fourth-down situation inside Michigan’s side of the field. A few seconds passed, and one unit stayed on the field while half the field goal team walked on. The result was a timeout and an overly emotional and uncharacteristically angry Coach James Franklin chasing down offensive coordinator John Donovan. Franklin chalked it up as a miscommunication, which was fairly obvious if you were paying attention. But that issue didn’t go away. Facing another fourth down inside two minutes to play, Penn State let 15 to 25 seconds run off the clock before realizing that Michigan could simply kneel the ball down and finish out the game. The timeout, intentional safety and recovered onside kick that followed was a creative way to get out of the jam, but had Penn State not been penalized — perhaps wrongly so — the Nittany Lions would have had to go 60-plus yards, with even less time to work with. A little detail, but little details can end up resulting in big problems. These cost Penn State two timeouts. ■ Just kicking. After having been at least a serviceable punter, Chris Gulla struggled to get the ball a substantial distance from the line

THE HIT MUSICAL “Hairspray,” set in a racially divided 1960s Baltimore, will be staged at The State Theatre beginning Oct. 16.
Big hair, big heart, big hit! ‘Hairspray’ opens at State Theatre
By HARRY ZIMBLER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — The popular Broadway hit “Hairspray” cleverly combines upbeat entertainment with a serious message about tolerance and acceptance. Based on the John Waters’ cult movie of the same name that starred transvestite entertainer Divine, the musical “Hairspray” promises a lively evening of song and dance from the opening curtain to the joy-filled ending. The show, written by Mark O’Donnell and Thomas Meehan, with music by Marc Shaiman and lyrics by Scott Wittman and Shaiman, is set in Baltimore in the 1960s. That city, now as then, is a place of great
than I ever had imagined.” Hetler last directed a successful production of “Legally Blonde” for the SCCT. “It is my passion to do as professional a job as we can possibly do,” he said. “There are serious undertones that run throughout the piece. It’s not about high hair and fluff. It’s about racial equality. I feel it is a timeless piece and the message is not lost. Audiences can watch this and see the struggles of the early 1960s. There are issues in the play that we are still dealing with. But it’s about the progress that is made.” Hetler trusts that this production will include humor as well as several poignant relationships that show that a person’s appearance doesn’t matter.
contrasts. Race and economics play a central role in this popular musical. The story is centered around a high school girl who can’t understand why her African-American friends are not welcome to take part in a show that recalls “American Bandstand.” Jonathan Hetler is delighted to be directing this show for the State College Community Theatre. The show runs from Thursday, Oct. 16, to Sunday, Oct. 19, at The State Theatre. “The collaboration with the cast and crew has been wonderful,” Hetler said. “We have spent a lot of time together and it is neat to see that what was in my head is evolving into something bigger and better
In casting the show, Hetler saw 80 auditions and selected 43 people. “It’s a large and talented group,” he said. “We wanted to give people as many opportunities as possible to perform in this show. I looked for a great work ethic, experience and talent. We cast some theater veterans, as well as some with little experience. There’s a lot of raw talent in our cast, naturally gifted people.” Considering the SCCT troupe had only 27 days of rehearsal, Hetler is pleased with the results. “This show has great characters and plenty of upbeat dancing and singing.” Kat Shondeck is the production’s choreographer, with music direction by Eric Brinser.

‘Basetrack Live’ focuses on Marine’s war experiences UNIVERSITY PARK — En Garde Arts and the Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State present “Basetrack Live” — a multimedia contemporary theater production inspired by words and images of the 1st Battalion, 8th Marines deployed in Afghanistan — at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 29, in University Park’s Eisenhower Auditorium. “Basetrack Live,” created by Edward Bilous and featuring two actors and four musicians, is based on the life of a Marine in Afghanistan, his wife’s experiences at home and his challenges with returning from war. Live music, projected film and a cascade of images from embedded photojournalists and veteran filmmakers punctuate a performance drawn from text taken verbatim from social media exchanges and interviews. “‘Basetrack Live’ allows its audience to be fully immersed in the action rather than spectate from their seats,” wrote a reviewer for The (Austin) Daily Texan after seeing the premiere performance at the University of Texas. “The multimedia style is truly the brilliance of ‘Basetrack Live.’ Gritty, emotional, engaging and most of all, hopeful.” “Basetrack Live” is recommended for ages 14 and older due to the frequent use of profanity and occasional depictions of violence. Parental guidance is suggested.
Buy tickets by phone at (814) 863-0255 or (800) ARTSTIX. Tickets are also available at four State College locations: Eisenhower Auditorium (weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), Penn State Downtown Theatre Center (weekdays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.), HUB-Robeson Center Information Desk (weekdays, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.) and Bryce Jordan Center (weekdays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.). A grant from the University Park Allocation Committee makes Penn State student prices possible. Each active and retired member of the military may obtain as many as two complimentary tickets to “Basetrack Live.” Tickets must be picked up in person at an Arts Ticket Center location and military identification is required. The complimentary ticket offer cannot be included as part of a discounted Choice series. The Clearinghouse for Military Family Readiness supports, in part, the complimentary ticket program.
Artistic Viewpoints, an informal moderated discussion featuring a visiting artist, is offered in Eisenhower one hour before the performance and is free to ticket holders. Artistic Viewpoints regularly fills to capacity, so seating is available on a first-arrival basis. In addition to Artistic Viewpoints, the performance includes a conversation among the performers and audience members after the show. Audio description, which is especially helpful to patrons with sight loss, is available for this performance at no extra charge to ticket holders. “Basetrack Live” is funded, in part, by the New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Theater Project, with lead funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Sandra Zaremba and Richard Brown sponsor the presentation, the Eisenhower Auditorium and William E. McTurk endowments provide support and Forever Broadcasting stations are the media sponsors.

U.S. Navy jazz ensemble to perform in State College STATE COLLEGE — America’s Navy is coming home to State College, one of 18 cities in four states to host a performance by the U.S. Navy Band Commodores during its 2014 tour. The performance is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 29, at the State College Area High School North Auditorium. Jazz is America’s music, and the U.S. Navy Band Commodores, the Navy’s premier jazz ensemble, have been performing the very best of big band jazz for the Navy and the nation for more than 40 years. Formed in 1969, this 18-member group continues the jazz big band legacy with some of the finest musicians in the world. Led by Master Chief Musician Philip Burlin, the Commodores’ mission includes public concerts, national concert tours, ceremonial support in honoring our vet-
erans, jazz education classes and clinics, and protocol performances for high-level military and civilian government officials. One of the U.S. Navy Band’s primary responsibilities involves touring the country. All of the band’s primary performing units embark each year on concert tours throughout specified regions of the country, allowing the band to reach out to audiences in areas of the country that do not have opportunities to see the Navy’s musical ensembles on a regular basis. The concerts are family-friendly events, meant to be entertaining to veterans, families, individuals and those interested in joining the Navy. “America’s Navy has only recently adopted the motto, ‘Being There Matters,’ but it’s been a part of what we do for many years — through music — and therefore Navy bands are integral to our national

security,” said Capt. Brian O. Walden, the Navy Band’s commanding officer. “Today, Navy bands are still performing around the world, acting as agents of public diplomacy for the American government, improving relations with our allies, and winning the hearts and minds with the universal language of music.” These national tours return following a year in which sequestration and its impact on outreach spending forced several of them to be suspended. Pentagon officials announced a plan on Oct. 18, 2013, that enabled the military services to resume conducting community
and public outreach activities in 2014, albeit at a significantly reduced capacity. “Community and public outreach is a crucial departmental activity that reinforces trust and confidence in the United States military and in its most important asset — people,” Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said in an internal memorandum to service chiefs and other military leaders. “These proactive engagements showcase our superior combat power, demonstrate readiness to defend the nation, and help to preserve the all-volunteer force.” All Navy Band performances are free and open to the public.

Study paves way for more cost-effective websites By MATT SWAYNE Special to the Gazette
UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Small cues that display a userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transaction history may help a website feel almost as interactive as chatting with an online customer service agent, paving the way for more cost-effective websites, according to researchers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the challenges with online interactivity is trying to imbue the site with a sense of contingency â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the back-andforth feel of a real conversation,â&#x20AC;? said S. Shyam Sundar, Penn State Distinguished Professor of Communications and co-director of the Media Effects Research Laboratory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we found is that providing some information about a userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interaction history on the site can offer a sense of conversation.â&#x20AC;? Interactivity is natural in both actual face-to-face and video-streamed conversations, but developers have found it challenging to foster this type of interaction in static websites, according to Sundar. In traditional conversations, a message is usually met with a response, creating a thread of interconnected messages. The researchers, who report their findings online and in a forthcoming issue of Communication Research, found that visitors to an online movie search site considered a version of the site that displayed recent interaction history more engaging and said the site fostered better dialogue than sites with no or limited history. As long as this interactivity was strong enough, the presence of a chat function with a live person or chatbot did not add
appreciably to user experience of the site. Chatbots, which are software programs designed to answer questions and mimic conversations with humans, are becoming more popular on mobile devices and websites. One example is the Siri program on Apple iPhones that can answer a userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s verbal questions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The addition of a chat agent increases the perception of interactivity,â&#x20AC;? Sundar said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it does not increase the sense of dialogue or user engagement when the site already offers detailed interaction history.â&#x20AC;? Study participants also did not find a human chat agent to be any better than a chatbot, as long as interaction history was available, according to Sundar, who worked with a group of former Penn State mass communications doctoral students: Saraswathi Bellur, assistant professor of communication, University of Connecticut; Jeeyun Oh, assistant professor of communication, Robert Morris University; Hyang-Sook Kim, assistant professor of communication and media studies, St. Norbert University; and Haiyan Jia, a post-doctoral scholar in information sciences and technology, Penn State. The study could lead to more cost-effective solutions for businesses that want to make their sites more engaging, but have limited funds to program a chatbot or hire a human customer service employee. The researchers asked 110 participants, who had an average age of 21, to use an online movie store called Movie Hub to help them choose a movie to rent. They could browse, use the search engine, or ask an assistant, which was either an online chat-

bot or a human assistant. To carry out the assignment, participants were assigned one of five different versions of the site, ranging from a low-interaction sites without interaction history to high-interaction sites with interaction history and the ability to chat with a human agent. Participants who interacted with the agent or the chatbot said the site was more interactive than the subjects who used the site without the chat feature. But, this did not translate into better attitudes toward the site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Instead, interaction history seems to foster positive attitudes by giving users the impression of a conversation,â&#x20AC;? said Sundar. Providing this type of interaction history is both a goodwill gesture and helps to improve the userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trust in the site, he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Users appreciate the full disclosure, in part because it increases their awareness of their own actions,â&#x20AC;? said Sundar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is quite important in the current climate of heightened concern for online privacy.â&#x20AC;?

A NEW PENN STATE study has determined users feel that as long as a website displays recent interaction history, the additional use of a chatbot does not add to the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interactivity.
