New Pegula Arena impresses fans By JOHN PATISHNOCK

NEW DIGS: The Pegula Ice Arena opened its doors for its first-ever men’s hockey game on Oct. 11. The sellout crowd watched the Nittany Lions post a 4-1 win over visiting Army.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Fans poured into the Pegula Ice Arena, the new home of Penn State’s ice hockey teams Friday, nearly two hours before the puck dropped in Penn State’s 4-1 triumph over Army, walking around, enjoying lavish buffets of food and snapping pictures of every feature the arena boasts. Every seat of “The Roar Zone,” the student section, was occupied, with students in the front row slapping the Plexiglass barrier so hard and so often, it’s a wonder it didn’t topple over onto the opposing goalie, especially during the first and third periods when Penn State was shooting in that direction. “When there’s a packed barn like that and the fans are yelling, you get jitters, you get nervous for those kinds of games and it was fun,” said Nate Jensen, a redshirt junior defenseman who scored the first goal in Penn State’s new arena, a slap shot barely three minutes into the contest, which

had 6,370 fans in attendance. “The student section was incredible, we heard Coach Gadowsky say there’s really nothing to compare it to, and it’s so true,” added freshman David Goodwin, who finished with a goal and an assist. “The first time when we went out there for warmups and we looked up, it was just … I forget … I blacked out. It was insane.” Penn State coach Guy Gadowsky noted it’s motivating to see that type of support, saying he can’t wait to play in front of the home fans again. The Nittany Lions’ opponent was equally happy to take part in the debut, especially after the government shutdown placed the Black Knights’ participation in limbo. “I would have hated to miss out, and I know our players would have hated to miss out, on this night,” Army coach Brian Riley said. “What they have, what they’re going to build here, is something that’s going to be truly amazing.

University Park Regional Medical Center receives grant By HARRY ZIMBLER

correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State’s Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and the University Park Regional Campus of the Penn State College of Medicine accepted a $2.5 million grant from state Sen. Jake Corman at a press conference on Oct. 14 at the Hershey Medical Group offices on Benner Pike. The money will be used to attract more medical students to pursue careers in primary care medicine in this region. It will also be used to improve access to high-quality care for the state’s most vulnerable and underserved populations. Corman said he believes the expanding relationship among Penn State, the Hershey Medical Center and Mount Nittany Medical Center will not only improve the quality of life in the region, but also serve as a major catalyst for economic development. “This is an exciting announcement,” Corman stated, referring to the grant. “Hershey Medical is making a strong commitment to Centre County. “When compaGrant, Page 5 Opinion ............................. 7 Health & Wellness ............. 8

Tailgating — for a good cause By SAMI HULINGS

shulings@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — During his life, Bob Perks’ goal was to bring cancer support to area communities. As a State College native, Penn State alum and founding member of the local chapter of Coaches vs. Cancer, Perks was devoted to helping cancer patients in Centre County and the surrounding areas. This devotion never faltered, even throughout Perks own battle with cancer. After Perks lost his fight with the disease in 2005, his wife, Doreen Perks, established the Bob Perks Cancer Assistance Fund as a way to help fulfill her late husband’s wishes. The nonprofit organization provides financial support for basic necessities to local individuals and families dealing with a cancer diagnosis. To help raise money for the organization, Perks said she wanted to hold an event that was unique and fun and reflected Bob and his passion for Penn State football. After a friend brought up hosting an away game tailgate fundraiser, Perks knew she had something special. “We just ran with it. It totally reflects who Bob was,” she said. “He loved Penn State football. It’s totally reflective of who

IF YOU GO Who: Penn State fans, alumni and those wishing to aid local cancer families What: Eighth annual Bob Perks Fund Tailgate When: 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 26 Where: Mountain View Country Club Why: To help the Bob Perks Fund in its mission to provide financial support for basic necessities to individuals and families dealing with cancer in local communities. Cost: $85 per person in advance/$90 per person at the door

Bob was and what his passion was.” Eight years later, the annual Bob Perks Fund Tailgate Party is the signature event for the nonprofit, bringing together community members to help local families in Centre, Blair, Clearfield and Huntingdon counties struggling with a cancer diagnosis. “This presents a great opportunity for people to not only come out, watch the game and support the team, but to do it with a bunch of your friends for a great cause,” Doreen Perks said. This year’s tailgate, sponsored by Susquehanna Bank, will be held at Mountain View Country Club on Saturday, Oct. 26, for the Penn State vs. Ohio State game. The event starts at 7 p.m., one hour before kickoff. Newly appointed executive director Norma Keller said the organization always tries to choose a big game that will draw fans. Due to the rivalry between the Nittany Lions and the Buckeyes, choosing this year’s game was easy. Keller also attributes the success of the tailgate to its location and upscale tailgating food, like a fajita bar, fall soups, salads, pull pork and beef sliders and squash ravioli; complimentary beverages and fun atmosphere. “It’s where people want to come and have a great evening together,” she said. “It’s just a general fun-filled, festive atmosphere for a tailgate.” To create more appeal and enjoyment, the tailgate also features a silent auction. According to Perks, items in the silent auction include a jersey autographed by Michael Mauti, sports items autographed by Franco Harris, an autographed Pittsburgh Penguins jersey and a custom closet design from Spaces Design Center will help to bring in a large portion of the money raised during the night. With last year’s event bringing in about $40,000, Keller hopes this year’s tailgate will be similar. “We would be very, very thrilled to raise that money at the tailgate. I hope for fantastic attendance at this Ohio State game

THE EIGHTH ANNUAL Bob Perks Fund Tailgate will be held at 7 p.m. on Oct. 26 at the Mountain View Country Club in Boalsburg. because it increases awareness of the fund and the important things that it does and it has a dramatic affect on families,” she said. “Every dollar raised at this event will be allocated to local families who are fighting cancer.” So far this year, 207 local families have been aided by the Bob Perks Fund. Though the fund continues to be successful, Keller stressed that the more funding the organization has available, the more families it can help. “We know there are more and more families that need help. The more money we can raise, the more we can make available to families who have applied and families that might not be aware of the fund,” Keller said. Because many families have felt the effects of a cancer diagnosis, Perks believes

the tailgate allows people the chance to make a huge impact. “Everybody has been there. Everybody has experienced this. It hits home,” she said. Holding events such as the tailgate allows community members who understand the impact cancer has to aid those in need, Keller said. “It is more than a wonderful event. It is a community event. It’s a way for people who love Penn State football to come together and have a fantastic time in fantastic location and enjoy Penn State football, she said. “All the while that they are doing that, they’re making a dramatic difference in the lives of local families.” For more information about the Bob Perks Fund or to RSVP for the event, visit bobperkscancerassistancefund.org.

Food, from page 1 Today, FaithCentre’s Pet FoodBank operates various satellite sites throughout Centre County and collaborates with other pet food banks, including in State College and Millheim, according to Nicole Summers, FaithCentre’s director. In State College, 70 people are registered with the pet food bank, which includes 92 cats, 54 dogs, two birds, one hamster and one turtle, Summers said. In Bellefonte, close to 200 people are registered, and in Millheim, that number is about 40, she said. Most of the people the pet food pantry assists are senior citizens on fixed incomes, Summers said. “Those are their companions,” she said about their pets. “(We’re) trying to make life easier for them.” Others served are those who had already owned animals but suffered a job loss or other life change that created economic strain or financial problems, Summers said. “I don’t think people deliberately acquire animals they can’t afford,” she said. As it is with the regular food banks, a shortage in food is due to increased demand, Summers explained. More people are coming in looking for pet food. The pantry provides mostly dried food, though there are some exceptions. Large bags are divided into smaller gallon bags,

and then are labeled, Summers said. “We try to be consistent,” she said. Most pet food donations are private, and come from such places as Sam’s Club, Lyons Kennels in Bellefonte and Petco. Oftentimes donations are made because bags have been ripped or are about to expire, Summers said. “We can certainly take that (and) divide it,” she said. When the pantry runs low, volunteers and staff purchase food themselves, Summers said. Those who use the pet food pantry pick up food about once a month. And though it is supplemental, meaning pets can’t survive on that food alone, Summers said it’s better than nothing. “We figure it’s a help,” she said. To assist the pet food pantry, individuals can make financial donations, or companies can host pet food drives. Additionally, area residents may donate opened bags of dog or cat food that are no longer being used, she said. Pet FoodBank hours are 10 a.m. to noon on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesdays. FaithCentre is a Christian, faith-based umbrella of programs, services and facilities. Founded in 2003, it is a nonprofit corporation that consists of a thrift store, food bank and other resources, according to its website.

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State’s costs related to the Jerry Sandusky child sexabuse scandal have crossed $50 million. Penn State was on the hook for about $50.5 million as of July 31, up $2.8 million from two months earlier, according to a university website posting Monday. The amount covers legal fees, consulting work, fines and other costs. The final tab promises to be far higher, as the amount reported by Penn State includes only the first $12 million installment of a $60 million NCAA fine, and excludes the $60 million that Penn State has set aside to pay damages to Sandusky’s

victims. The school has said it won’t use tuition dollars, state appropriations or donations to pay the tab, and it expects some of the costs to be paid by insurance. Penn State and its insurance carrier are locked in a dispute over the insurer’s financial exposure to the Sandusky scandal. The retired assistant football coach was sentenced to 30-to-60 years in prison last year after being convicted on dozens of counts of sexual abuse. Sandusky’s November 2011 arrest triggered the firing of late coach Joe Paterno, criminal charges against three university administrators and NCAA sanctions against the football program.

TERRY PEGULA spoke at a ceremony for the Pegula Ice Arena on Oct. 11. The arena officially opened that evening for its first-ever men’s hockey game. Pegula’s gift made the arena a reality. Pegula, from page 1

“It was a great college atmosphere, it didn’t affect us in a negative way. I think all of our guys would tell you they loved it. … this is what college hockey should be about.” Riley thanked Terry Pegula, who, along with his wife Kim, donated the money for the arena, for his investment, on behalf of all of college hockey. Riley’s assessment? Everyone who plays at Pegula will benefit, regardless of the final score. As time expired in Friday night’s victory, students began chanting “Hockey Valley” over and over again. Players came over and sang the alma mater, slapping their sticks on the ice to thank the students for their support. After the game, when asked if they were relieved to have the building’s opener out of the way, Goodwin dismissed that notion, saying he wished they could do it again. And Jensen added he expects the fans to be just as rowdy every game the rest of the season as they were Friday night. The reason for that is simple, he said: the hockey team fits right in with the sports avalanche the area craves. “Penn State has a huge passion for sports, and hockey just adds on to that,” said sophomore goaltender Matthew Skoff, who blocked all but one of the 26 shots he faced, getting the win. “You witnessed it tonight.”

nies look to locate here, they look at things like schools and health care. Health care is a big part of what they consider. So this will have an impact on economic development.” Steve Brown, president and CEO of the Mount Nittany Medical Center, has been seeking cooperative efforts such as this one since he arrived in Centre County. “Everybody has realized that it is the right thing to do,” Brown said. “I think what we are doing here will help people navigate the complexities of the national health care system. We want to be a resource for information to help people here to understand what the new law will mean to them and their employer.” Dr. Harold Paz is the CEO and senior vice president for health affairs at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and dean of the Penn State College of Medicine. “When I arrived here seven years ago, I knew we had to make sure that we have a regional campus of the College of Medicine,” Paz said. Centre County, he said was the perfect place to locate such a facility due to its proximity to Penn State’s main campus. “We think it is important to have a significant presence for the School of Medicine in order to train the next generation of doctors,” Paz said. “There are dramatic health care needs in this area. And we believe that an academic health center has a responsibility to the community. People here should not have to travel great distances in order to receive high-quality health care services.” The question that arose in Hershey and University Park was, “Why not have many of the programs offered in Hershey available here in Centre County?” Paz noted that seven years ago, Penn State Hershey had eight doctors in this region. That number has reached 70plus clinicians working at five clinic sites. “And we think there is even more we can do,” he said. “We are not growing in isolation. It is important to partner with other institutions. We currently have 17 key affiliates in the state.” Paz pointed to the Shaner Cancer Center at Mount Nittany Medical Center as an example of a successful partnership. Penn State Hershey oncologists, with access to cutting-edge clinical trials, are delivering services locally in Centre County. “And the winners are the people who live in this community,” Paz said. “I have a passion about the idea that people should have access to high-quality health care in this community, and this grant will allow us to support that idea. “Since its founding 50 years ago, Penn State College of Medicine has been a leader in developing innovative approaches to medical education while preparing physicians who will care for the people of our commonwealth.

Careworks opens second location in Centre County By CHRIS MORELLI

editor@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Back in May, Geisinger Careworks opened in Bellefonte. Just five months later, another one has opened in State College. The State College location officially opened its doors on Oct. 11. Careworks offers convenient health care for common, non-emergency medical problems. No appointments are necessary and the clinic is open seven days a week. According to Geisinger CEO Ken Berndt, the State College Careworks is different than the Bellefonte location. “This is significantly larger than the Bellefonte facility,” Berndt said. “We are going to be able to get more people through. It’s got a couple of additional testing components to it. It has X-ray, so we’re able to treat fractures, strains and sprains.” The State College facility is approximately 2,200 square feet. “We do have the ability to add additional exam rooms if we need it,” Berndt said. “Right now, we have two, which is our standard. But we can add two more. We also have a much larger reception area.” The State College facility also features a lab on site. “People can come in here for lab draws. If they go to Grays Woods or Scenery Park, we can draw their laboratory right here,” Berndt said. Careworks is located at 1630 N. Atherton St., in the Best Buy Plaza. According to Berndt, the location was ideal. “We tried to put it on a main artery and on a busline, so if people don’t have their own transportation, they could take a bus to get here,” he said. “At the same time, someone who is doing their normal dayto-day routine, their errands, it’s convenient. Our hope is that people will be able to find us and get in and out quickly.” The State College location is the 12th Careworks facility in the state, and there are more coming, according to Berndt.

Roesch, director of business optimization and analytics, Careworks; Cathy Holderman, LPN and Sue Mascolo, office of State Rep. Scott Conklin. “There are five more opening in December, including one in Lock Haven,” he said. “They’ve been very well-received. People in the communities have told us how grateful they are to have an access point for health care seven days a week and at a lower cost.” Dr. Raymond Nungesser, regional medical director for Geisinger Health System, said that there was a need in State College for a Careworks facility. “The illnesses that people get today … you don’t have to wait until tomorrow, the next day or days down the road to get them addressed,” Nungesser said. “Some-

times, when you don’t get them addressed efficiently or promptly, complications occur.” According to Nungesser, a facility such as Careworks eliminates the need to go to the emergency room for every bump and bruise. “It used to be when the doctor’s office closed at five o’clock and didn’t re-open until nine the next morning that the only option was the emergency room,” Nungesser said. “That is expensive care. It’s often not needed. Emergency rooms are fine when patients actually need them. Oftentimes, a high percentage of patients in

emergency rooms don’t need to be there.” Nungesser is pleased that Geisinger was able to open a second Careworks in Centre County. “We continue to grow in the Centre County area,” he said. “Our Grays Woods expansion project will be completed in February of 2014. We will continue to grow as the demand for our service increases.” Geisinger Careworks is open seven days a week. The clinic is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Friday and from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends and select holidays. For more information, visit www.careworkshealth.com or call (814) 238-1279.

Open office planning for the closed-minded By DALE McFEATTERS

Scripps-Howard News Service

Trying to stave off the moment when I would have to do some actual work, I riffled through a stack of business magazines. It was sort of work — there were ads for office equipment, desks, ergonomic chairs and sleek little machines that through the miracle of technology take work you should be doing and dump it on someone else. Who says modern electronic wizardry is overrated? With the simple click of a mouse, my problem becomes your problem. Much of this literature was dedicated to the resurrection of the “open-plan” office, the idea being that without walls and partitions employees will interact with each other and the resulting interplay of freewheeling brainstorming will produce ideas that will make the company a bundle of money. Synergy, you know. Plus, the theory is that workers in plain sight will keep busy, or pretend to be, and the plainly visible computer screens will discourage them from stalking Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kate Upton. However, the corporate-observing website inc.com has a more direct explanation: “The business case for openplan offices is simple. They’re cheaper. Without walls you can stuff more people into less space, saving on real-estate costs.” Somehow I doubt this idea originated in a serendipitous gathering of like-minded workers: “Say, I have an idea. Let’s all listen to each other’s phone calls.” Indeed, the National Security Agency’s plan to vacuum up every phone call in the country may have originated in an openplan office. The cube farm is being replaced in some businesses by freestyle seating — first come, first served — what the rockconcert promoters call “festival seating.” The employee plugs in his laptop at a suitable desk and goes right to work, synergistically interacting with his new colleagues. My first real job was in an open-plan office, except it was called a newspaper city room. Experts in modern open-plan offices believe a certain minimum noise level is necessary for efficiency lest the new quarters become too morguelike. Too little noise was not a problem in my first workplace. The linoleum floors and inadequate acoustic tiles amplified the sound of the mechanical typewriters, the teletype machines and the permanent and profane seminar on the local sports scene. The city editor spent his day standing, with one foot on his desk, and communicated by shouting at people. The switchboard operator did the same, except she was seated. One advantage of an open-plan office is that there are lots of witnesses when someone finally loses it and tries to brain a co-worker with those ficus trees that interior decorators unaccountably believe will boost morale and productivity.

Should campaign donations be limited? Should there be any limits on campaign financing? The Supreme Court last week considered striking down limits on campaign giving to candidates and party committees. In oral arguments about a case called McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission, the court’s conservatives appear ready to void the limits, saying that such limits violate the First Amendment’s guarantee of free speech. Opponents say there’s a danger that lifting the limits would place elected officials in thrall to big donors — creating a government of, by and for the country’s 500 richest Americans. Does big money make it impossible for little people to be heard in politics? Does the First Amendment guarantee George Soros or the Koch brothers the right to spend millions of dollars to influence a vote? Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk, the RedBlue America columnists, debate.

JOEL MATHIS

God bless Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Almost alone among the court’s nine members, she keeps America’s “little people” at the forefront of her jurisprudence — and did so again last week, defending campaign spending limits in the name of democracy. “By having these limits, you are promoting Joel Mathis, democratic parjoelmmathis@ gmail.com, is a ticipation,” Ginswriter in burg said during Philadelphia. oral arguments in the campaignfinance case. “Then the little people will count some, and you won’t have the super-affluent as the speakers that will control the elections.” Contrast that with Justice Antonin Scalia: “I don’t think $3.5 million is a heck of a lot of money.” Guess how he’s voting on this case.

JOEL MATHIS

Understand: The limits on campaign spending don’t — haven’t — kept America’s richest political donors from making their voices heard in our election process. What those limits have done, though, is allow for the possibility that people who don’t have a net worth of seven, eight or nine figures can also make a difference. Even if we accept the idea that “money is speech,” it’s not silencing or prohibiting speech to ask the guys with the loudest megaphones to turn down the volume just a little bit. Noise ordinances are constitutional, so why not campaign finance laws? They serve the same function: to keep the cacophony down to a dull roar. Clearly, the existing campaign limits don’t end the role of big money in politics, but they do hinder it somewhat. Take away the limits, Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr. said last week, and “there is a very real risk that the government will be run of, by and for those 500 people and that the public will perceive that the government is being run of, by and for those 500 people.” That perception, of course, would put our present government on the fast track to illegitimacy. The “little people” won’t be silenced, exactly, by an adverse court ruling. But a flood of new cash will almost certainly drown out anything they have to say.

BEN BOYCHUK

Here is the Obama administration’s argument against removing aggregate campaign contribution limits distilled to its essence: If you have the means to contribute the maximum legal limit of $5,200 in a primary and general election, it’s fine to give to nine candidates, but corrupt to give to 10. That’s because federal campaign finance law caps aggregate donations at $48,600 for candidates. Why $48,600? Because Congress said so, that’s why. Also, as the Supreme Court ruled in its famous Buckley v. Vallejo decision in 1976, the government has an interest in regulating campaign contributions to guard against “quid pro quo” corruption.

Is government any less corrupt today as a result of an arbitrary cap? Are the candidates any better for it? To ask the questions is to answer them. Right now, campaign finance law is the remote province of wellcompensated lawyers, regulators and consultants. Few outsiders can enter, much less understand, all of the laws, rules and requirements. Fact is, the system favors the connected. Liberal justices may fret over far-fetched scenarios of hundreds of political action committees colluding to elect their favored candidates if individual contribution limits should fall. In reality, incumbency remains firmly entrenched. Ninety-one percent of incumbents were re-elected to Congress last year. And after more than a century of campaign finance “reform” aimed at taking “big money” out of politics, politics remains awash in the stuff. Total campaign spending in 2012 topped $7 billion in 2012. When Justice Scalia dismisses $3.5 million as not “a heck of a lot of money,” this is clearly what he has in mind. If we’re so worried about corruption in the process, then blast open the process. People already believe American government is the best democracy money can buy. Remove the lim- Ben Boychuk, its. Let the money bboychuk@cityflow freely and journal.org, is transparently.

Just make sure everyone knows about it — and let voters judge accordingly.

Politics and shame collide in Hate City By MARTIN SCHRAM

Scripps Howard News Service

America is so used to watching canned, scripted and staged scenes labeled “reality TV” that we’ve lost all sense of what is real and what is not. Even when watching TV news. So today we will look for reality another way. We’ll focus our lens first on real problems of real people. Maybe it will help us see past the canned, scripted and staged politics and motives that hide the hardcore reality of how things really run here in Hate City. SCENE: It is almost midnight and on the TV, a nonstop cable news network is running clips of freshman tea party Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, still insisting we must defund the Affordable Care Act, now known as Obamacare. The failure to halt Obamacare was his tea party’s justification for shutting down the government. Someone switches the TV to ESPN baseball highlights — but that doesn’t hamper our focus on health care. Because we are in the emergency room of the Holy Cross Hospital in suburban Silver Spring, Md., just a 20-minute drive north of the White House. Here we can observe the reality of our wasteful health-care system that is finally being replaced by the imperfect but still-funded Obamacare. About two dozen people are inside the ER waiting room and very few seem to be what you would recognize as emergency cases. Several worried mothers are there with children; some mothers tell me their children have fevers, but they don’t have

health insurance. They are in the ER so a doctor will treat their children. Another young woman is suffering severe abdominal pain. She has a master’s degree but no health insurance. She has been diagnosed at a free clinic with a fibroid tumor that apparently has grown larger. Tonight the pain became unbearable; her sisters and friends carried her to the car and drove her to the ER. She thinks she will need surgery — soon. Because we Americans are a compassionate people, we don’t let sick or injured people go untreated even if they have no money. This means we pay their bills, sooner or later. Every time. It is the most costly, least-efficient way to provide health care. Now that the Supreme Court declared Obamacare the law of the land, the good news is everyone can be covered and it will save us all money. The bad news is Obamacare is a market-based effort that has flaws and must be fixed. Sensible Republicans know this; but if they work with President Barack Obama to fix his plan, tea party Republicans will demonize and maybe defeat them in primary elections. So, Republicans duck and cover rather than lead. Two weeks ago, members of the tea party minority forced the House Republican majority to shut down the government. Then, even worse, they played chicken (yet again!) with threats of not raising the debt ceiling — even if that would force America to default on its debts for the first time or break our commitments on Social Security and other programs to fellow Americans. SCENE: Hundreds of tea party-

led protesters — enough to fill video screens coast-to-coast — descended upon the World War II memorial that was barricaded shut because of the government shutdown the tea party championed. “This is the people’s memorial,” the ubiquitous Cruz proclaimed. He demanded that the monument be opened to visiting veterans despite the shutdown he’d championed — and denounced the fact that tax money was spent to also barricade Mount Vernon, Mount Rushmore and so on. Tea party protesters then dragged the barricades from the monument to the White House to protest that anyone would dare shutdown monuments due to a government shutdown. One speaker took the spirit of the moment one step further. Larry Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch, the conservative legal activist group, declared: “We are now ruled, quote, unquote, by a president who bows down to Allah. This president is not a president of ‘we the people.’ He’s a president of his people. ... I call upon all of you to wage a second American nonviolent revolution, to use civil disobedience, and to demand that this president leave town, to get up, to put the Quran down, to get up off his knees, and to figuratively come up with his hands out.” So it was that one dared say out loud what too many think (and maybe say only in mass emails) here in Hate City. The hate that now fuels our politics spewed into the open, for all to hear. That is the shame that has befallen the game that once was America’s politics.

Engineering their success: More than just a toy story By LAUREL SANDERS Special to The Gazette

STATE COLLEGE — Wide eyes, smiles and expressions of awe and laughter were seen and heard from college and preschool students alike on Oct. 8 during Engineering Day at Grace Lutheran Preschool and Kindergarten. A group of 27 first-semester engineering students from Penn State — under the leadership of Cheryl Knobloch, an engineering instructor and director of the Women in Engineering Program — showed their unique creations to 26 kindergarten and junior kindergarten students. The day began with an assembly, where seven mixedgender collegiate teams revealed their toy creations. Afterward, the children returned to their classrooms, where they rotated from station to station, playing with the toys in small groups and talking with the students who designed and built them. The college students observed the children’s interaction with their creations, in preparation for the next phase of their project. In the coming weeks, Penn State student participants will discuss observations they documented during their visit, including recommended modifications for safety, ease of use, appearance, appeal and function that could improve their creations. The overarching goal for the hands-on design project is for students to explore engineering design through toy dissection, original design, prototyping and field-testing of an original toy. Student design teams are given

time and budget constraints to bring their toy story to life before the field test at Grace Lutheran. Penn State students are evaluated not only on the prototype results, but also for their collaboration and cooperation with their respective engineering design teams. The toy inventions included a two-sided “Under the Sea” and Cap’n Crunch ping pong ball toss; a “My House” modular dollhouse that children could decorate; “Blocktation Creation,” a set of Velcro-edged blocks with a booklet of building designs; a “crazy car” with self-stick decorations in a storage compartment; an air blaster; and a “hoop shoot” somewhat reminiscent of an arcade Skeeball game. “This year our Engineering Days followed on the heels of our Construction Days project,” said Teri Statham, who organizes the annual event on behalf of the kindergarten and junior kindergarten classes. “The two projects helped our students to make a direct link between building structures, creating toys and the similar processes that are involved in each area. “The engineering students always take an avid interest in our students. This expands our students’ view of the world. It helps them to realize that other people of all ages, whom they may not ever know personally, actually care about their everyday needs.” She added: “It’s wonderful to see a balanced team of young men and women involved in the program.” Knoblach talked about the value of the project. “This project is a prime exam-

It’s also a great opportunity for our university students to serve as role models for children and to show them that engineers are fun, creative people. In addition, purposefully gender-balanced teams enable university men and women to learn about their dif-

ferences as well as their strengths in a concrete way. Their collaborative work in the classrooms demonstrates to boys and girls alike that engineering is a possibility for their future. This is our 12th year visiting Grace Lutheran students with our engineering designs and this town-gown project is a win-win for everyone involved,” she said.

In gratitude for the Penn Staters’ visit, the Grace Lutheran pupils collaborated on a class book where each student created a drawing and a brief description to depict a toy they would each like to invent some day. Grace teachers Statham and Anne Goodall presented the books to Knoblach to share and discuss with her students.

Tucker blends talents at HillCrystal Farm SPRING MILLS — As I drove down the lane to reach the white farmhouse with the long porch, the beauty of the setting struck me. The owners of the farmhouse are artists, so I was sure they felt drawn to the countryside and the picturesque fields and valleys before they bought the farm. The reason for my visit was to talk with owner Jennifer Tucker about her herbs. I first met Tucker at a reception at the Bellefonte Art Museum to honor Sharon McCarthy, a fellow artist and friend. That day, Connie Cousins Tucker and her huscovers Centre band, Gerald Lang, County for the Centre County were showing their Gazette. Email her digital photographs. at correspondent@ In Sharon’s memory, centrecounty many of the displayed gazette. com prints were of favorite flowers of Sharon’s and had been scanned and digitally reproduced. The resulting pictures had a 3-D appearance and my hands longed to reach out and touch them. Refreshments for the afternoon reception included two examples of Tucker’s unique and natural herbal teas, which she had steeped with some of Sharon McCarthy’s favorite flowers. The herbs and flowers were first dried and combined to make tea mixtures. Names like “Sharon’s Gar-

den Memories — Herbal Lemon-Aid,” and “Sharon’s Remembrance Hibiscus Flower Tea” were a hit at the punch bowl. I wanted to discover more about Tucker. She received her master of fine arts degree in photography from Penn State University. Most people would call many of her photographic subjects “weeds.” She likes wildflowers such as greater lobelia, cardinal flowers and milkweed. Her framed prints attest to their beauty. Seeing the beauty in these and other flowers, she arranges them artfully on the scanner bed, mimicking the natural shapes of stems, leaves and flowers. The final images are printed on archival paper using pigmented inks of museum quality. Tucker also has been a practicing herbalist and flower essence practitioner for more than 35 years. Her herbal studies workshops are popular throughout Pennsylvania. She currently is teaching on Saturdays through the end of the month at the Learning Garden behind the Penns Valley Farmer’s Market in Milheim. Her herbs, which are sometimes photographed, more often appear in medicinal products such as oils, salves and lotions for the outside of the body. Delicious teas using combinations of herbs and spices nourish the inside of the body, as well. “A hot cup of aromatic, flavorful tea can foster relaxation and well-being,” she said. “I don’t sell the teas in bulk, because I am always experimenting and adapting the proportions.” Herbs such as rosemary, thyme and others provide culinary variety and flavor. Tucker dedicated her book, “Evelyn’s Ways” to her mentor Evelyn Valerie Snook,

Rediscovering Happy Valley: Embracing ‘Hockey Valley’ UNIVERSITY PARK — Wow. That’s the easiest and most concise way for me to describe my emotions every time I walk in and through the Pegula Ice Arena, the latest piece of sports-related eye candy taking up residency on Penn State’s University Park campus. This sentiment was never more true Friday night, during the inaugural game, in which Penn State hosted Army in front of a sellout crowd. Penn State won 4-1, but for me, nothing was as exciting as when the Nittany Lion mascot accompanied the team onto the ice during pre-game warmups. The lion swung a flag that read “We Are” next to a cheerJohn Patishnock leader with a flag that is a Centre County stated “Penn State.” native, and his As expected, the stustories on how dent section and fans he’s reconnecting repeated the chant, to the area will be showcased in knowing they were all “Rediscovering about to see a first.

JOHN PATISHNOCK

tany Lions didn’t compete on a Division I level. Penn State is a national brand, easily drawing interest from potential opponents and advertisers. But no plan was without a hitch. It’s amazing what $102 million can do to change that. It wouldn’t be fair to treat this new era of Penn State hockey as the first significant stretch in the program’s history. To do that would be disrespectful to all the former players and coaches, most notably Joe Battista, who did so much over the past few decades. The coolest moment of Friday may have come hours before the puck dropped, when Battista, Pegula and junior forward Tommy Olczyk poured water from melted ice that came from Mount Nittany, the Lion Shrine and Greenberg Pavilion onto the ice of the new arena. The water was meant to signify the past, present and future of Penn State hockey, and the ceremony took place during the arena’s dedication. It’s hard to imagine what that moment, like so many others that transpired over the past few months, meant for Battista, but I’m glad I was there to see it. I never heard of Terry Pegula before ground broke on the ice arena that bears his name, and I suspect, given his low-key demeanor, many of the fans in the stands Friday night never heard of him before, either. Stories depict him as anything but showy. He’s turned down interview requests for stories accompanying the runup to the season. He gave a nine-figure donation to Penn State and never once visited the arena to check on the progress; he was still involved through virtual tours but it says something about his trust in

Maybe he suspected everyone involved knew what he or she was doing. If that was his thinking, he was right. The current coaches and players understand that Pegula’s massive donation wasn’t just about collegiate hockey. Pegula, a Penn State graduate, wanted the arena to be an asset for the entire region — which is exactly what it is — and Penn State players and coaches call the Pegula Ice Arena

“a gift.” The community rink, a secondary rink open to the public, allows youth teams and other Penn State squads to compete on varying levels. It’s even motivated me to learn how to skate and one day hopefully compete in an intramural league. Will I be any good? Who knows, but I’m sure I’ll have fun in the process. And for fans like me, ones who want to see not only the Penn State sports teams do well, but also make a difference in the community and inspire others, that’s all that counts.

SPRING MILLS — Brian Markle, son of Rob and Jane Markle of Millheim, was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout at a court of honor held at New Hope Lutheran Church in Spring Mills on Oct. 13. The ceremony was attended by about 50 people, including family, friends and members of both Boy Scout Troop 381 of Spring Mills and Troop 88 of Millheim. Several honored guests and dignitaries also attended the ceremony to honor Markle, who is the third brother in his family to attain the Eagle Scout rank. Markle’s uncle, Dr. Ronald Markle, who is also an Eagle Scout, served as master of ceremonies. Assistant scoutmaster Robert Senator presented the Eagle Scout award to Brian Markle. Several guest speakers took turns at the podium relating their experiences with Markle over the years. Penns Valley High School drama teacher Sue Shirey told how Markle’s improvised comedic lines in a play got the biggest laughs. She praised his attitude in her classes. Soccer coaches Tim Rogers and Scott Case spoke of Markle’s quiet demeanor, tenacity and leadership skills, noting that

those qualities will be useful in his life. “He was the first kid there at practice, every single day,� said Rogers. He added: “Only 7 percent of all Boy Scouts reach the Eagle rank, but the Markle family has had 100 percent of their Scouts become Eagles.� Other awards and citations were presented to Markle by Sheriff Dennis Nau, Centre County Commissioner Steve Dershem, state Rep. Kerry Benninghoff (RBellefonte), and members of the Millheim Lions Club, the American Legion and the Patriotic Order of the Sons of America. Following the presentations, Markle addressed the crowd, thanking his parents, his fellow Scouts, leaders and all who participated in the ceremony. He thanked his older brothers Andrew and Christopher for “pushing me in so many ways.� “I’m proud to say I’m the third Eagle Scout of three boys,� he said. Markle’s Eagle project was making improvements to Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Park in Millheim. This included restoration of the stonework of the memorial, landscaping to complement the memorial, and replacement of the fire pit beside the Paul S. and Renna Wise Pavilion. Markle organized work parties of Boy Scouts and community members to com-

CROP Walk fights world hunger

October 17-23, 2013 ­

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — In an effort to combat world hunger, approximately 40 walkers participated in the Penns Valley CROP Hunger Walk held on Oct. 13. “CROP,� or Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty, is a fundraiser for Church World Services. Churches and community groups throughout the country come together on a local level to sponsor the walks. Last Sunday’s event was sponsored by the East Penns Valley Ministerium. The walkers came from throughout the Penns Valley area, and ranged in age from children to senior citizens. They registered for the walk in Grace United Church of Christ, where they were given CROP Walk stickers and T-shirts. They then gathered in the church’s parking lot for the event kick-off. Michael Price, interim pastor of the New Hope Lutheran Church in Spring Mills, offered a prayer to begin the walk. In his prayer, Price said “Together we pray,� and the walkers responded with “Today we walk.� Pastor Julia Sprenkle of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Millheim, the event’s organizer, addressed the walkers. “This is a wonderful way we

The walk is symbolic of people in impoverished countries who must walk long distances daily to obtain enough food for their families. The participants left Grace Church led by Pastor Leigh Pick. The route consisted of two laps around a onemile loop through the streets of Spring Mills. Threatening rain showers held off while the walkers com-

pleted their trek. Tony Foltz and his wife, Robin, were joined by their German shepherd, Duke, on the walk. Robin Foltz’s sister heads the Appalachian Youth Services Bureau in Cambria County, and she offered to match any monies collected by the Foltz family. Also accompanying the Foltzes was Tatiana Polganova, a Ukranian exchange student, who raised $130 in pledges.

Ripple, a young brown-swirl tabby male, is the perfect example of the saying, “There’s more than meets the eye.� While acting shy around visitors at PAWS, Ripple earned the nickname “The Ripster� by his foster family because of the way he ripped around the house having fun. His foster mom got Ripple to come out of his shell with the help of toys, treats — Ripple’s favorite — and her resident cats, who took Ripple under their wings. Ripple definitely craves that feline interaction, and would not do well in a home without other cats to play with. He may get along with a canine sibling, but not young children since he is looking for a relatively quiet home. You can read more about Ripple at www.centre countypaws.org/cats/, or meet him in person at PAWS, 1401 Trout Road in State College. Ripple has a Guardian Angel, who has already graciously paid his adoption fee as a gift to his future forever family.

Penn State upsets Michigan in four overtimes, 43-40 By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State lost to Michigan three times on Saturday night. At least. Maybe four times, or even five. But the Nittany Lions refused to accept defeat. In an epic game that will no doubt go down as one of the most memorable ever played at Beaver Stadium, Penn State was pushed again and again to the edge of the abyss, but somehow kept its balance, pushed back, and finally came away with a 43-40, four-overtime victory over the Wolverines in front of a 107,000-fan whiteout. The game had almost a full season of twists, turns, surprises and big plays: The Nittany Lions drove 80 yards in 23 seconds on four plays and no timeouts to tie the game. The drive included highlight-reel catches by Brandon Moseby-Felder and Allen Robinson. Penn State blocked what would have been the winning field goal in the first overtime and then endured watching fifth-year senior kicker Brendan Gibbons miss another one that kept the Lions’ hopes alive. Michigan, within field-goal range with two minutes to play and ahead by seven points, somehow took a delay-ofgame penalty and had to punt — setting up Penn State’s final drive. The people back home and in the Detroit and Ann Arbor press were not happy about that one. Penn State had four turnovers — two interceptions and two fumbles. The fumbles, one of which was returned for a touchdown by Michigan and the other in overtime, in themselves would normally have been enough to pin the loss on PSU. Penn State went for a fourth-and-one that was well within kicker Sam Ficken’s range, down by three, in the fourth overtime. If it fails, Penn State loses. It didn’t, by about a yard. Two plays later, Michigan had to take a interference penalty on Robinson in the end zone to avoid a sure touchdown that would have given Penn State the win. But that only delayed the inevitable.

Penn State doesn’t disappoint in Pegula debut By JOHN PATISHNOCK

sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Nate Jensen figured the community had waited long enough. It was time to give Penn State hockey fans something to cheer about, and that’s exactly what the redshirt junior defenseman did barely three minutes into the Nittany Lions’ victory over Army on Friday night at the Pegula Ice Arena. Jensen received a pass from Taylor Holstrom, and then ripped a slap shot past Army goaltender Rob Tadazak for the first goal in the Nittany Lions’ new home rink. The sold-out crowd erupted. Penn State’s players celebrated the first of many accomplishments on the night. Then Jensen blacked out, he said after the game, laughing, because of all the excitement. “It’s just a big goal for Penn State hockey,” Jensen said. “It was a team effort on the goal.” He later added: “It’s an honor to get it.” Penn State (1-0) recorded three more scores in the final period. Sophomore Curtis Loik registered a shorthanded goal, freshman David Goodwin, who assisted on Loik’s goal, scored on a breakaway and redshirt sophomore Eric Scheid added an empty-netter with less than a minute remaining. In between, Mac Lalor took advantage of a 5-on-3 power play, netting the lone goal for Army (0-1). “Tremendous night, the student section was definitely the star of the night,” Penn State coach Guy Gadowsky said. “It was just such a great night, all-around, a tremendous night, obviously, for the Pegulas, a tremendous night for Joe Battista, a tremendous night for so many people that worked so hard to get this done. And to come away with a victory, obviously, felt great, but the star of the show tonight was definitely the student section. The atmosphere was tremendous.” At one point in the game, Gadowsky looked over and saw the fans carrying the Nittany Lion mascot up the bleachers, which are the steepest allowed by building code law. Gadowsky laughed, saying he was a little worried for the lion but that it was a great sight to see as his team closed out the win. Defense also had something to do with that. Redshirt junior defenseman Patrick Koudys helped limit Army’s shots on goal; for the game, Penn State outshot Army 3526. “He probably blocked as many shots as Skoff tonight,” Gadowsky said. “He was absolutely unbelievable, just eating pucks left and right,” sophomore

& E V E N T R E N TA L S

goaltender Matthew Skoff added. “Then there were some subtle blocks by Nate Jensen, with just great sticks, that’s the same thing as blocking a shot. That goes with David Thompson and Connor Varley, they all played well and it was good to see the offense get some scoring in the end.” Thompson, a freshman, and Varley, a sophomore, were two of several underclassmen whom contributed throughout the night. And while Army coach Brian Riley said his team controlled the zone early in the game, Penn State capitalized on the energy and momentum that continued to build up throughout the day, starting with the dedication of the arena earlier that afternoon. “We knew that they were going to come out with a lot of energy and emotion and our goal was to play the first five minutes and then the next five minutes and then hopefully we would settle into it,” Riley said. “I thought we did, but I didn’t think our guys were nervous.” Penn State finished 0-for-3 on power plays, though Gadowsky said he was happy with how the guys handled those situations; he also pointed out one of the instances lasted only 18 seconds. Skoff (1-0) made 25 saves, allowing only the late goal; initially, he thought he may have been interfered with, but referees allowed the score. “He was flawless except for that one 5-on-3,” Gadowsky said. “He certainly didn’t have a chance at that.” Tadazak (0-1) thwarted 31 shots for Army, which finished 1-for-10 on power plays. The reason for so many Penn State penalties was a combination of guys experiencing goosebump-inducing emotions on the electric night, while Gadowsky added there’s still some poor technique to clean up. His guys had practiced for only a week before the opener, so he didn’t sound like it was a major hurdle to overcome. Skoff, meanwhile, echoed that confidence, saying he felt Penn State controlled the action, and that without the penalties, Army wouldn’t have had nearly as many chances. “I feel like without the penalties, I thought we dominated play,” Skoff said. Properly handling the ramped-up emotions the players were experiencing was crucial, Gadowsky said, though basically that thought evaporated after Terry Pegula talked to the team about 75 minutes before the game started. It was emotional, and meant a lot to the Nittany Lions, not to mention it more than fired them up. “The guys were ready to chew nails after he left,” Gadowsky said.

PENN STATE created traffic throughout the night in front of Army goalie Rob Tadazak as it won its first game at the new Pegula Ice Arena on Oct. 11. “He spoke about how he achieved what he did and his love for Penn State, and I got out of it, his love for work ethic.” Pegula made several movie references, including “The Dirty Dozen,” a story that focuses on troops making an attack during World War II. After the game, several players said they’re not going to take advantage or take for granted the tremendous opportunity they’ve been given. They can play in a world-class rink that

has features many NHL players don’t have, something the Nittany Lions don’t take lightly. That’s especially true considering the type of person who bestowed it upon them. “The speech was incredible, he’s just such a humble guy,” Goodwin said of Pegula. “Obviously, he has a lot going for him in life and that just struck me the most. He’s so humble and passionate for hockey and passionate for Penn State. It was an amazing experience … I’ll never forget the pregame for this game tonight.”

Survivor’s pink ribbon gets a new set of wheels By MARJORIE S. MILLER

mmiller@centrecountygazette.com

If you had asked me what I was thinking in February when I signed up for the Young Survival Coalition’s Tour de Pink East Coast, a three-day, 200-mile bike ride from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C., I don’t know what I would have told you. All I knew at the time was that I was a young breast cancer survivor, the Young Survival Coalition meant so much to me, and I wanted to do something amazing and challenging to support a cause I believed in. Since my breast cancer diagnosis in April 2011, I’ve found great joy and meaning in jumping into new experiences and adventures. Tour de Pink seemed a little scary and very overwhelming, but I had decided, since my cancer was diagnosed, that I don’t sit on the sidelines. To me, life is too short to waste on “wishing” I could do something or on “waiting” for the perfect moment. Planning and having my wedding in the midst of my breast cancer journey taught me that life events seldom happen how and when we plan them. There are no perfect moments in life to do things. This was my chance to really challenge myself, and in the process, support other women just like me. I hadn’t ridden a bike more than a few times since I was a little girl. And the bike I owned, which I had just bought a year earlier, was a seven-speed, low-seated heavy bike with thick tires. Actually, riding a bike made me nervous and I wasn’t particularly fond of the sport. But something inside of me told me I had to do this ride. Not as a cyclist, but as a survivor. Just like I can’t imagine my life today without it being touched by breast cancer, I can’t imagine my life having never done Tour de Pink.

TRAINING

In the seven months that elapsed between the day I signed up and the weekend of the event, which was held Sept. 27 through 29, I put everything I had into the ride. I raised funds. Friends, family and even people I had never met before supported me, helping me to raise $5,558. Every single cent of that goes to the Young Survival Coalition, a non-profit organization oriented toward supporting and educating young women about breast cancer. And, I began my training right away. As a breast cancer survivor I received a Liv/Giant road bike, which I would use for the ride, as well as a helmet, Shimano clip-in cycling cleats and pedals, and much more. Each donation was a partnership between the respective companies and the YSC to ensure survivors had everything they needed to ride in Tour de Pink. Between the end of February and the end of September I immersed myself in cycling. I read about it, dreamt about it, signed up for rides with the State College Cycling Club, and reached out through friends to find people to ride and train with. My husband, Sean, who supported my decision since the day I signed up, trained with me. We bought cycling jerseys and shorts, cycling glasses, bike tools and pouches and water bottles. That winter I did my first 30-mile rides through the hills of Centre County, and as summer approached I was riding more and more. In the month leading up to Tour de Pink I was riding five days a week: 20 miles before work some days, 30 miles after. I would wake up at 5 a.m. just to get on the bike. My weekends were dedicated to longer rides: 50 or 60 miles on Saturdays, 40 miles on Sundays. Tired and sore, I’d ride. I’d ride with new “boo-boos” on my knees from learning how to use the clip-in cleats. Up and down hills, through traffic, along country roads. I’d push myself. More than I ever pushed myself before. I rode by myself, with Sean and with friends. I rode at night and in the morning. I challenged myself with tough, hilly routes. My life became cycling. Stretching, energy bars, coconut water. Pushing, resting, pushing, resting. Never before had I put my heart, body and soul into

anything the way I did for preparing for Tour de Pink. And all the while I was raising money, reaching out to fellow riders through social media, and panicking. Panicking. Would I be ready for this? Am I training enough? Am I training too much? How am I going to ride 200 miles in three days? I am not a cyclist. Then Tour de Pink weekend came. And my life changed.

TWO HUNDRED MILES, 200 NEW FRIENDS

The Young Survival Coalition hosts Tour de Pink rides every year throughout the country, including in the West Coast and Atlanta. About 200 people participate in each ride, as individuals or on teams. According to its website, the YSC’s Tour de Pink is the most powerful community fighting breast cancer in young women. “YSC Tour de Pink is your chance to raise funds to ensure no woman diagnosed under 40 faces breast cancer alone. Whether you ride one mile or hundreds, from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C., to the shores of the Pacific or in between, there’s a place for you in our circle,” the website states. The money Tour de Pink raises helps the YSC provide resources, connection and outreach so women feel “supported, empowered and hopeful,” according to the website. “With every mile you ride, you help YSC expand our circle of support to the thousands of women who need us.” Tour de Pink riders range in ability. Some have been cycling for many years, while others are new riders. Some are women undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Some riders have a sister, mother, wife or friend battling breast cancer. Many lost a loved one to breast cancer and ride in her honor. Some have never ridden before and some have ridden every Tour de Pink since it started. The East Coast ride, which is in its 10th year, consists of a more than 200-mile route from King of Prussia to Washington, D.C. The Day 1 route, which is 65 miles, takes riders from King of Prussia, Pa., to Lancaster, Pa. Day 2 begins in Lancaster, passes through York, Pa., and Gettysburg, Pa., and ends in Frederick, Md. Riders can cycle the whole way, which is 90 miles, or they can choose a 60-mile route. And Day 3, the final day, is about 57 miles from Frederick into Yards Park in Washington, D.C., passing the White House, Washington Monument and other sights. The weekend is not competitive; it’s about riders doing their best and giving their all. It’s about spirit. Riders can choose to ride any amount they want, whether it’s one mile or 200. They can stop any time they want. There are rest stops, which are clearly marked on the route and on riders’ cue sheets, about every 20 miles. The stops provide mechanical assistance, food, water and bathrooms. Volunteers cheer riders on as they get to each stop, and make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. (Some stops even had Panera Bread sandwiches!) There’s lots of picture taking and hugging at each stop. Riders can refill their water bottles or take an energy gel. There are also other treats, such as Oreo cookies and M&Ms. (I would always snag a bag of M&Ms for later in the hotel room). Support and Gear, or SAG, vehicles follow along the route, assisting with flat tires, riders who don’t feel well, or riders done riding for the day. There are professional cyclists who ride with the riders, as well as marshals on mopeds who help control traffic and keep riders safe. Pink Tour de Pink arrows guide the route. Friends and family can follow along in cars and meet riders at rest stops and cheering stations. Riders are provided with hotel stays and meals throughout the entire three days, including breakfasts and dinners. Additionally, all the snacks and bike support is provided at no cost to the riders. Each night at the hotel there is a hearty dinner buffet, survivor speakers (I was honored to speak Friday night), and speeches and other talks from YSC staff and caregivers. Riders also have the opportunity to get a massage and see a chiropractor. The evenings are all about camaraderie. Each night we’d talk about that day’s ride, what the hardest or best parts were, and how we felt about taking on the challenge again the next day. Our bodies were tired but we didn’t want to rest. The adrenaline and endorphins were too high. Throughout the three days we rode through eerie Gettysburg National Park and passed by horses and buggies on the sunny and rolling hills in Lancaster’s Amish coun-

try. We received cheers from standers-by in the little towns and cities we passed through. (There was even a horse with a dyed pink mane on Day 1!) We rode under covered bridges, and up hills so steep cyclists in front of you looked vertical. We rode across parks, on country roads in the middle of nowhere, and through busy intersections, traffic and stoplights. We dodged potholes and tree branches. The morale throughout the weekend was immeasurable: lots of cheering, high-fives and hugs. That weekend, I made 200 new friends. My fellow riders became my rocks every step of the way, helping me up hills, guiding me through traffic, and encouraging me to do my best and to stay strong and motivated. People I just met are now people I can’t imagine my life without.

EMPOWERED

I rode the entire route, which came to a total of about 213 miles. I pushed myself to ride the full 90 miles the second day, which I had doubted my ability to do, up to that very morning. As I finished, happy and relieved tears streaming down my face, I was greeted by a group of about 20 people outside the hotel cheering for me. It felt unreal, like a scene from a movie. Despite my body being physically tired, I never felt so alive that afternoon. I felt empowered. Tour de Pink, in its entirety, was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life. But I knew, going in, that it would be. So in addition to my physical training, I mentally prepared myself for moments when I felt like quitting. Prior to the ride, friends and family sent me messages of support, flowers and gift baskets. One friend in particular told me to “save nothing” during Tour de Pink, meaning to give it my all — hold nothing back. I remembered that message loud and clear throughout the whole weekend, and especially on Day 2 as I rode the farthest I had ever ridden in my life. Physically I had to push myself through miles and miles and hours and hours of riding on challenging and often stressful terrain. I pushed my body to its ultimate limits. I really did save nothing; I used every last ounce of my reserve. Mentally I had to wake up each morning and tell myself to do it again. And again. And emotionally I reminded myself why I am riding: for myself, and for other women and their families; so young women don’t have to face breast cancer alone. When I was diagnosed at the age of 26 I had limited resources, but when I found the YSC I knew I had somewhere to turn. Through other survivor stories, message boards, news articles and events I found my place in a scary world of uncertainty. That’s why I was riding. Because I didn’t want other young women to feel alone in the face of a disease that is often misunderstood or overlooked in people like us. I met other young women survivors who were under 30, like myself, when diagnosed, and even a woman who, like myself, was planning her wedding when she got breast cancer. I met other supportive husbands and boyfriends, like Sean, who were there to ride with or support their wives and girlfriends. I rode with women who are currently undergoing chemotherapy. I rode with women who have cancer. Tour de Pink allowed me to connect, physically and emotionally, and on a deeper level, to other people who share my fears and anxieties. Until the ride, I could count on less than one hand the young women I had met, in person, who had dealt with or who were battling breast cancer. But I knew they existed and I knew meeting them would provide me with a sense of community. No matter how different our stories or journeys, together we can get

Spread through the battle, during and after breast cancer. When I crossed the finish line in Yards Park in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 29, I was joined by family and friends holding signs and handing me chocolate cupcakes, flowers and champagne. I had waited for that day since February: the day I had trained for, prepared for, rode for. I had envisioned coasting under the balloon tunnel, unclipping my cleats, getting off my bike and crying happy tears, surrounded by Sean and my family, friends and fellow riders. And it happened. Exactly like that. I had done it. I knew my life would change after I completed Tour de Pink, but it actually changed the moment I started. If you had asked me one year ago, or even seven months ago, if I could imagine myself riding more than 200 miles in three days on a bike I would have told you, simply, “no.” I would have told you my legs would feel like jelly. I don’t own a “real bike” and I’m not a cyclist. Those would be my answers. But I proved to myself none of that mattered. The YSC and Tour de Pink made sure none of that mattered. It didn’t matter that seven months ago I could barely ride at all. It didn’t matter that one year ago, to the month, I had my last breast cancer surgery and couldn’t lift a gallon of milk or even my arms above my head. But most of all it didn’t matter that I wasn’t a cyclist. Somewhere along the way I became one.

WHY I RODE

Another year has gone by, and another Breast Cancer Awareness Month is here, forcing me to think about my battle and how it’s changed my life. And, I am blessed and happy to report I continue to remain healthy and am approaching my twoand-a-half-year survivor mark. Since my “pink ribbon” in last year’s Breast Cancer Awareness Centre Spread in The Gazette, I have had the opportunity to share my story many more times for many different audiences and events, and through many

different outlets. And I plan to continue to write to spread awareness. But now I’m adding something else to my list of accomplishments: I rode a double century to support young women with breast cancer. In the process I raised funds for the YSC, met other people, made lifelong friends, became a cyclist, became a better athlete, tested myself, challenged myself and conquered one of the biggest physical challenges of my life. So ask me again what I was thinking in February when I signed up for Tour de Pink. I still couldn’t give you an answer, because there isn’t just one. I saw an opportunity to do something considerable for a cause rooted so deeply in my heart. Not knowing what path lay ahead, I saw a chance and I decided to take it. I saw a dream and decided to give it wheels.

Eagles hold off late charge by Bearcats By JUSTIN PACKER

correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

WINGATE — The homecoming game can always be a tricky game. To be victorious you usually need a big performance by a player, perhaps a big play or two that goes your way, and even a little bit of luck. The Bald Eagle Area Eagles got a mix of all three Friday night in a 49-47 victory over the visiting Bearcats. “It feels really good to break that (four game) losing streak,” BEA head coach Jack Tobias said. “This kind of win gets us going and gets the guys excited about winning again. This win will move us up a little in the (playoff) standings.” Fans at Alumni Stadium were treated to quite a show by senior tailback Dakota Bartley, who rushed for 201 yards on 26 carries and scored two touchdowns. “I thought he gutted it out,” Tobias said. “He took a helmet on the thigh on his third carry, but he just powered through it. It was an awesome performance from him. The guys up front did a great job blocking for him tonight and they should be proud.” Throw in a 77-yard kickoff return and a 25-yard reception for touchdowns by Bryan Greene, along with a 58-yard touchdown run by Bryce Greene, and victory was a forgone conclusion … so it seemed. The Eagles led by 28 points at one point in the first half, only to see the Bearcats chip away at the lead throughout most of the second half. With 3:35 remaining in the game, Huntingdon pulled the score to within two points. Tobias pulled his guys aside and sent the message. “I pulled the team together … and just said where do you want this season to go,” Tobias said. “They answered the call and ate up the remaining time on the clock. They wanted this game and it showed.”

Their response? While it wasn’t a touchdown, it was a game-clinching drive which included a third down conversion by Bartley to secure the victory. With the homecoming crowd supporting the Eagles, BEA drove down the field on the opening possession of the game to grab a quick 7-0 lead. Bartley racked up 40 of the first 55 yards for the Eagles, including the 1-yard touchdown run. The Bearcats answered right back, as Hudson Speck connected Devon Claar on a 12-yard touchdown pass, tying the game at 7 with 4:11 remaining in the first quarter. BEA rattled off three straight scores, capitalizing on a fumble and a three-and-out by the Bearcats. Bartley put up his second touchdown to start the scoring run for the Eagles, with a 6-yard touchdown run. After a muffed kickoff return by Huntingdon, Bryan Greene reeled in a 25-yard touchdown pass for Jason Jones. After a quick three-and-out by the Bearcats, Jones punched in a 1-yard quarterback keeper to put BEA on top, 28-7, with a little more than 10 minutes remaining in the second quarter. After a score by Claar, Bryan Green flashed his speed on the ensuing kick, returning the ball 77 yards and putting the Eagles up 35-14. “Bryan is such a dynamic player,” Tobias said. “The team did a great job giving him a seam and once he finds that seam, he is gone. He is a nice weapon to have on special teams. Teams are starting to kick away from him and when they do kick to him, he makes the most of it.” On the kick, Huntingdon once again was plagued with heavy hands, as the returner fumbled the kick, setting the Eagles up deep in Bearcat territory. BEA needed just three plays to score, capped by Levi Cramer’s 4-yard touchdown run.

TIM WEIGHT/Gazette file photo

BEA’S DAKOTA BARTLEY, shown here in a game earlier this season, had 201 yards on 26 carries in Friday night’s thrilling 49-47 win over Huntingdon. Rhett Stetchock helped Huntingdon cut into the Eagle lead. BEA answered with another three play drive, this time it was a 58-yard run by Bryce Greene on a reverse. “The line did a heck of a job on that play,” Tobias said. “We had linemen 15 yards down field, throwing good blocks. Jones threw a heck of a block and Bryce found the edge and took off. He is tough to stop when he is in the open field.” The Bearcats marched down in the closing seconds of the first half and scored, as Stetchock found the end zone again, this time on a 19-yard run.

Heading into half, BEA led 49-28. From there, it was all Huntingdon as the Bearcats put up three unanswered scores. Fullback Jon Wagner bulled home a 6-yard touchdown run, Stetchock found the end zone for the third time and Claar capped the scoring with an 8-yard touchdown run. In the final three and a half minutes, the Eagles answered the call. They played power football and managed to kill the remaining time on the clock. “I think the last three weeks have helped us greatly,” Tobias said. “We never got down on ourselves and we kept fighting. We

played some great teams during that span and learned a lot about ourselves. We made enough plays to win the game and get over that slump.” In the end, it would be failed conversions on two extra points that doomed the Bearcats. The Eagles (4-3) will travel to Clearfield on Friday to face the Bison. “We are excited to hit the road,” Tobias said. “No one is giving us a chance and I appreciate the challenge. I told the guys tonight that no one expects us to win and it is a great chance to prove people wrong. I believe in these guys.”

Penns Valley holds off feisty Bellefonte squad By CHRIS MORELLI

editor@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — For a team decimated by preseason defections and regular season injuries, the Bellefonte Area High School football team sure plays with heart — week in and week out. On Friday night against Penns Valley, it appeared as if the Red Raiders might break into the win column for the first time in 2013. Nick Jabco’s 40-yard touchdown run with 2:37 remaining in the third quarter gave his squad its first lead since a 6-0 lead in Week 4 against Central Mountain. However, the Rams would score a TD in the third quarter and one in the fourth to pull away from Bellefonte for a 21-7 win at Rogers Stadium on Friday night. Penns Valley head coach Martin Tobias was impressed with what he saw from the winless Red Raiders. “Give a lot of credit to Bellefonte,” Tobias said. “Their coaching staff, their players … they came out and they were very motivated to take it to us tonight. I’ve got a great deal of respect for their players, their program, their coaches. They had their kids ready to play.” Down 7-6 late in the third, the Rams (3-4) responded by driving 77 yards in six plays for the go-ahead touchdown. Taylor Collison scored on an 8-yard touchdown run and Wyatt Sharp tacked on the twopoint conversion to give the Rams a 14-7. They would not trail again. In the fourth quarter, Sharp plunged in from 2 yards out to push the Rams’ lead to 21-7.

“When they went up on us, I think it was one of those cases where our kids had to examine where they are at this point. Are they going to rise to the challenge? Or are we going to fold up the tent and pack it in? They didn’t pack it in,” Tobias said. “We rose to the challenge and made some plays when we had to.” For the Red Raiders, it was another frustrating loss. After taking the 7-6 lead, the defense gave it pack to Penns Valley in just 2:27. “It felt like we were where we needed to be,” said Bellefonte head coach Shanon Manning. “We had a couple of plays where we let down just a little bit. But credit to Penns Valley. They’re a good football program, they really are. Coach Tobias does a good job and Cameron Tobias is a fantastic football player, he really is.” Although he watched his squad surrender the pair of late scores — and the lead — Manning was happy that his squad battled for all 48 minutes. “I don’t think we laid down and played dead for them. I think we made them fight and scratch and claw the whole way to the end zone. I think that’s starting to epitomize who were are. We’ve come a long way in that regard. We’re 0-6, but we don’t play like we’re 0-6.” The game was scoreless for much of the first half. Penns Valley finally broke through for a score when Sharp scored from nine yards out. The extra point was blocked, but the Rams had a 6-0 lead with 1:07 left in the first half. The Rams took the 6-0 lead to the locker room. The Rams were able to keep the Red Raiders off the scoreboard for the first 24

We gave up one or two big plays. We gave up a couple of soft underneath passes, but for the most part we did a nice job.” The two squads were fairly evenly matched. Bellefonte rushed for 196 yards, Penns Valley 159. Each squad had 12 first downs. Neither team turned the ball over. In the end, however, the Rams got the scores when they needed them. The Red

Raiders did not. “You often see that with a team that’s struggling to win football games,” Manning said. “I think we were ready tonight. We’re banged up, we’ve got a lot of young kids playing. That’s not an excuse, it’s just a fact. But I was proud of the way our kids battled.” The Rams are one win away from .500 with Bucktail looming. “There’s always room for improvement,” Tobias said. “I’m very happy to come out of here with a win.”

Cental Dauphin East pins loss on State High By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

sports@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — The State College Little Lions had people in the right position all night on Friday to stop Central Dauphin East’s all-everything tailback Chase Edmonds. Being there, however, and actually bringing down the elusive Edmonds are two entirely different things. Time and again, the Little Lions seemed to have Edmonds corralled, but he would break a tackle, or change direction, or even completely reverse field and suddenly break into the clear for big gains. This happened to the tune of 257 yards in the game on 28 carries and four touchdowns for Edmonds as he led the Panthers to a 34-20 victory over State College in their MidPenn Conference showdown at Memorial Field. He scored all three of East’s touchdowns in the second half — including a 69-yard TD sprint down the right sideline on the first play in the third quarter — and propelled the Panthers to overcome a 20-14 halftime deficit and pull away from the Little Lions for the win. “They had a great back,� State College coach Al Wolski said. “You stop him at the point of attack, and he’s quick

enough and fast enough that he bounces it. We are in position to take away the initial play, and he’s just a great back that can bounce it and take it away.� Edmonds’ heroics overshadowed a two-touchdown, 140-yard total offense performance by SC running back Jake Knouse. Knouse scored the Little Lions’ first two touchdowns in the game — one on a 16-yard run around left end in the first quarter and the second after a 13-yard draw play midway through the second quarter. CDE came back to tie the game after scores by quarterback Jahad Neibauer and Edmonds, but the Little Lions took the halftime lead when Jordan Misher scored on a 20yard run with just under two minutes to play in the second quarter. Edmonds then foreshadowed what was to come when he took a handoff from Neibauer on the first play of the second half and took off around right end for a 69-yard touchdown that gave CDE a lead that it would not relinquish. Edmonds scored twice more in the game on runs of 16 yards and 28 yards, but East was also helped by the improved play of its defense in the second half. The Panthers held SC scoreless after halftime and twice intercepted State College quarterback Pat Irwin on plays that initially

looked like potential big gainers. “They have athletes and they were able to close,� Wolski said about the interceptions, “and that closing speed helps when you have good athletes. And they have good athletes, not just 24 (Edmonds). “They have a good football team, and 24 makes them special.� Of State Colleges five second-half possessions, two were ended with the interception, two on downs, and one with a punt. State College was stopped three times inside CDE territory. “They (East) just played a little better, a little tougher in the second half,� Wolski said. “If we could have wrapped some balls and made some catches, we could have moved the ball, kept possession, and maybe put a couple in, but it didn’t work out that way.� SC ended the game with 265 total yards, with Irwin completing 13 passes for 147 yards, but the Little Lions were held to only 118 on the ground. Knouse had 41 of those, Misher 48, and Irwin ran 15 times for 26 yards. The Little Lions, now 3-4, stay at home and host Carlisle on Friday on what will be Senior Day. “Hopefully, we’ll be ready,� Wolski said. “We’ll have a good week of preparation and go get them.�

Week 8: State College, Penns Valley gun for the .500 mark By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

sports@centrecountygazette.com

Most Centre County teams will hit the road for Week 8. A couple of teams — State College and Penns Valley — play critical games at home on Friday night. Both squads are fighting to stay alive in the postseason chase. Victories this week would be a step in the right direction. A closer look at this week’s games:

Last Friday, the Little Lions were stung by Central Dauphin East and running back Chase Edmonds. SC did move

the ball in that game, but the Little Lions were hampered by two second-half turnovers and couldn’t overcome three long touchdown runs after halftime by Edmonds. Pat Irwin’s passing and running, along with running backs Jordan Misher and Jake Knouse, and receivers Anthony Misher and John Weakland are the major threats for Week 8, Page 20

CARLISLE (0-7) AT STATE COLLEGE (3-4)

Friday night will be Senior Night and the final home game for the 2013 Little Lions, and they will be entertaining 0-7 Carlisle. Although the Thundering Herd is winless, they have some close losses (7-0 to Manheim Township, 41-30 to Redland), but for the most part they have had a difficult time in the tough Mid-Penn Conference this season. They have an 0-4 record in the conference so far, and they still have State College, Harrisburg, and Central Dauphin to play. Carlisle is led by quarterback Billy Burger who is 62 for 114 this for 765 yards and two touchdowns. Burgers favorite targets are Deonte Ramsey (18 catches, 252 yds.) and Bamasa Bailor (17 for 175). Max Breschi and Max Wuestner also have over 100 receiving yards. On the ground, Carlisle relies on Bailor (54 runs for 385) and Tyler Greene (84 for 311) to lead an attack that has

The CenTre CounTy GazeTTe

Week 8, from page 19 the Little Lions. Knouse had 140 total rushing and receiving yards on Friday against CDE. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Memorial Field. Outlook — State College coach Al Wolski said that he was looking forward to a good week of preparation this week and that his team would be ready on Friday. There’s no reason not to believe him.

BEA (4-3) AT CLEARFIELD (7-0)

After tough losses to Central and Tyrone, Bald Eagle Area will take on the third member of the Mountain League’s Big Three on Friday when it travels to Clearfield. The Bison are 7-0 after escaping on Friday night with a 27-26 victory over Tyrone at home. As usual, D-1 prospect and Boston College recruit Christian Lezzer will lead Clearfield in both passing and rushing. Lezzer averages over 210 yards per game with his passing and running, and he

has scored 18 touchdowns. Erik Sellers, who completes 71 percent of his passes, plays quarterback when Lezzer moves to running back or receiver, and Taylor Stratton (710 yards, 12 TDs) backs up Lezzer at the running back position. In all, Clearfield averages 435 yards of offense per game, and the Bison average over 29 points. For BEA, the task seems clear: slow down Lezzer and force the other players to make plays. Coming off a wild, 49-47 win over Huntingdon, the Eagles have shown that they can play with the best in the Mountain League, and Friday will be a good indication of just how far they have come. Kickoff at the Bison Sports Complex in Hyde is scheduled for 7. Outlook — If the BEA defense steps up, and Dakota Bartley, Bryan Greene and Bryce Greene get their touches, BEA can cause problems for Clearfield.

provement in its 21-7 loss to Penns Valley last Friday, and the Raiders held a secondhalf lead for the first time this season in that game (7-6). Penns Valley pulled away with two consecutive touchdowns after that, but it was Bellefonte’s best effort of the season by far. Now, the Raiders travel to Central this week to take on the powerful Dragons. Central is 5-2 this season with its losses coming to Clearfield (35-20) and nonleague Fort Hill (37-21). As it has for the past two seasons plus, Central will rely on its all-purpose stars Austin Cunningham and Brandi Moore. Cunningham has thrown for just under 800 yards this season and he’s rushed for another 750 yards and scored six touchdowns. Moore has run for 600 yards and has 25 receptions for 450 more yards and four touchdowns. Together they account for over 300 combined yards of offense per game. Bellefonte will counter with Doylan Deitrich, Storm Smith, Austin Jackson, Nick

Jabco, and Nick Leiter. Jabco, Jackson, and Leiter combined for 180 yards rushing against Penns Valley, and quarterback Mark Armstrong added another 47 yards on four completions. Kickoff in Martinsburg is set for 7. Outlook — Bellefonte has been plagued with the turnover bug all season, but the Raiders did not turn it over at all against the Rams. The Raiders will have to do that again this Friday and try to find a way to slow down Cunningham and Moore if they want to keep this game close.

BUCKTAIL (2-4) AT PENNS VALLEY (3-4)

Penns Valley (3-4) looks to be right on the edge of playoff qualification, so every game from here on in is big for the Rams. This week they take on 2-4 Bucktail at home after rallying for a 21-7 victory last Friday at Bellefonte. Bucktail, from Farwell, Pa., is 2-4 this season with wins over Wyalusing Valley Week 8, Page 21

October 17-23, 2013 Week 8, from page 20 (20-19) and Columbia Montour Vo-Tech (33-18). Bucktail has lost it last two games to Montgomery (12-8) and Cowanesque Valley (42-28). The Bucks are led by Trent Risley, who two weeks ago was named the Lock Haven Express’s Player of the Week, and running back/receiver Aaron Ransdorf. Both are dangerous threats on a team that can score points. Penns Valley’s balanced offense has been paying off for the Rams. With quarterback Cam Tobias, running backs Taylor Collison, Wyatt Sharp, and Corey Hazel, and receivers Luke Weaver and Sean Beamesderfer, the Rams are tough to stop, and they average over 350 yards per game in offense and score over 27 points every time out. Kickoff in Spring Mills is scheduled for 7. Outlook — This is a big game for the Rams, and they will be ready to play. The keys will be to play error-free and keep the Buck’s offense under control.

PHILIPSBURG-OSCEOLA (1-6) AT HUNTINGDON (3-4)

Philipsburg-Osceola is coming off a 54-20 loss to powerful Central last week, and there will be no rest this week when the Mounties travel to high-scoring Huntingdon (3-4). Huntingdon has wins this season over Bellefonte, Penns Valley and Central Mountain, and in those games the Bearcats averaged over 40 points each game. They scored 47 in last week’s loss to Penns Valley, so scoring points has not been a problem. Hudson Speck leads the Huntingdon passing attack, averaging just under 90 yards per game through the air and nine touchdowns. Devon Claar, Mitchell Lauer and Rhett Stetchock lead the ground attack that averages 270 yards per game and has scored 24 TDs. Claar, John Wagner and Mitchell Lauer are the leading receivers on the team, but Huntingdon looks to run the ball first. P-O comes into the game on a four-game losing streak that was extended with the loss to Central. Quarterback Curtis Matsko leads the Mountie attack with his passing and running, and Dustin Shuey, Mason Pryde, Nick Patrick, and Aaron Mason do the bulk of the running. Mason is also the leading receiver. P-O averages over 270 yards of offense per game, so the Mounties can move the ball. The problem has been turnovers, and they had two more against Central last week. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. in Huntingdon. Outlook — There are lots of variables in this game, which on paper looks like it will be very close. It likely boils down to whether or not P-O can contain the Bearcat offense and stay away from game-changing mistakes. If it’s close down the stretch, anything can happen.

Breweriana show returns to State College By DON BEDELL

IF YOU GO

dbedell@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Breweriana collectors from Pennsylvania and beyond will once again converge in State College on Saturday, Oct. 19, for the third annual Fall Fest Brewery Collectibles Show. The show, which runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., will be held at Otto’s Pub and Brewery. Collectors from many states will be displaying their wares, and also will be buying, selling and trading items. Beer collectibles typically range from small bottle openers and coasters to lighted signs, as well as lithographs or trays from pre-Prohibition era breweries. According to co-owner Roger Garthwaite, Otto’s always has had an interest in telling the stories of Pennsylvania’s brewing past. “Otto’s is honored to offer a space where these folks can buy, sell and tell their stories,” Garthwaite said. “Our banners, posters, pictures and displays celebrate the art, history and marketing that was a huge part of Pennsylvania heritage almost a century ago.” The event is sponsored by the Eastern Coast Breweriana Association. The association’s local contact for this region is Sam Komlenic, whose father worked

Gazette file photo

BEER ENTHUSIASTS check out items during last year’s Fall Fest Brewery Collectibles Show, which was held at Otto’s Pub and Brewery. for the now-defunct Jones Brewing of Smithton, Pa., brewers of Stoney’s beer. That’s what piqued his interest in collecting breweriana. “When I was 16, I went to a

local flea market back home and found two vintage items from Stoney’s brewery that I still have today,” Komlenic recalled. “I now have a pretty extensive Stoney’s collection after years of searching

and making connections within the hobby.” Komlenic says that the dynamics of collecting have changed over the years since he began the hobby. There was a

time when collectors didn’t want any plastic items, but some of those items have become quite valuable today. He said that obscure and rare pieces will always be in demand and hold value. “At the show last year, I saw a 1906 calendar from the Veeser Brothers Brewery in Madera, Clearfield County. It may be the only piece of breweriana known from that short-lived enterprise,” Komlenic said. The event has grown from an inside-only show in its first year to including an outdoor tent to house more vendors last year. Komlenic says that the event will be about the same size this year as last, but they hope to be able to expand next year. Garthwaite also hopes to expand the attendees by encouraging younger collectors to attend. “One of the sad aspects of breweriana collectors is that we don’t have a lot of younger folks showing much interest (in collecting),” Garthwaite said. The event is open to the public.

State College Community Theatre to stage ‘Spamalot’ By ANNE WALKER

correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

BOALSBURG — Thus far this season, the State College Community Theatre has explored topics such as drug abuse, alcoholism, gay issues, feminism, discrimination and bigotry. Therefore, it seems only just, fitting and proper that SCCT, under the fearless, able and adroit leadership of director Bruce Fleischer, should tackle more challenging areas. These include a killer rabbit, a holy hand grenade and a not-dead peasant.

IF YOU GO What: “Spamalot” When: 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 17, and Friday, Oct. 18; 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 19 Where: Mt. Nittany Middle School Auditorium, 656 Brandywine Dr., Boalsburg More info: www.scctonline.org or call (814) 234-SCCT Yes, SCCT will present “Spamalot” this Thursday through Saturday at Mt. Nittany Middle School. This marks the first time any company in the area has performed this show. The musical, based on the film “Monty

Python and the Holy Grail,” takes the audience on an enchanted journey with the heroic King Arthur (Matt Greer), the Lady of the Lake (Christina Kidd), the king’s intrepid sidekick Patsy (Rob Arnold) and the gallant Knights of the Round Table. Together they set off on a mission requested by God: find the Holy Grail. “God the almighty and all-knowing has lost a cup?” inquires Sir Robin (Eric Brinser). They have plenty of obstacles along their way — plenty of singing and dancing, too, and frequently at the same time. “Arthur has to stay majestic with all the silly things going on around him,” said Greer. The Lady of the Lake belts out nightclub-style torch songs, brandishing a hand-held microphone. The Laker Girls, who manage to combine cheerleading, bump-and-grind, tapdancing and angelic harmonies, act as an entourage to their diva. They also join in a hora, which works its way into the choreography because “you can’t succeed on Broadway if you don’t have any Jews.” Long-suffering Patsy follows along behind the galloping Arthur, banging coconut shells together to mimic hoof beats. Not only does he carry everything Arthur may need, he gets to tap dance, too. “I’ve never done that before,” Arnold said, “but it’s a lot of fun.”

ANNE WALKER/For The Gazette

MATT GREER James McCready rehearse for “Spamalot,” which will be performed by the State College Community Theatre Oct. 17-19. Despite the 23-member cast, many performers take on several roles. James McCready plays the sinister Black Knight, Prince Herbert and a sneering Frenchman. Lyn Freymiller appears as a Knight of Ni, Not-Dead Fred, Sir Not Appearing, Brother Maynard of the holy hand grenade and a sneering Frenchman. Kim Plummer opens the show as an historian and appears later

as Tim the Enchanter. Fleischer’s directing style allows the cast to bring their own ideas and spontaneity to the production. “This cast is inventive,” he said. “They’re seeing new things and going for it.” With the unpredictable goofiness onstage, it remains a fresh, lively and raucous good time, but one for adults only.

Center for the Performing Arts collecting candy wrappers From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — The Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State is collecting candy wrappers during its 2013– 2014 season to benefit the charity Covenant House. Through a TerraCycle program called the Candy Wrapper Brigade, which awards points for each wrapper collected, the Center for the Performing Arts aims to provide 100 homeless, runaway or at-risk children with a year’s worth of school supplies to pursue their studies. “So far this season the center, with par-

ticipation from individuals, churches and schools in Centre and surrounding counties, has collected over 6,000 wrappers. We would like everyone to keep our goal in mind this Halloween,” said Shannon Bishop, a member of the Center for the Performing Arts Green Team. This is the third year the Center for the Performing Arts has collected candy wrappers. In 2011–2012, more than 6,400 wrappers were redeemed to provide clean drinking water for a year to 43 people in developing countries. Last season, 415 meals were provided to Americans in need with a collection of more than 10,000 wrappers.

Learn more about the candy wrapper program at www.terracycle.com. Patrons attending events at Eisenhower Auditorium, on the corner of Shortlidge and Eisenhower roads at University Park, may place used candy wrappers in lobby collection boxes. Eligible waste — from auditorium concession sales or from home or office use — includes individual candy wrappers, large candy bags and multi-pack candy bags. Candy wrappers and bags may also be dropped off at Eisenhower during regular business hours, weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or at the Penn State Downtown The-

atre Center (146 S. Allen St., State College), weekdays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Penn State employees may send candy wrappers and bags via campus mail to Pam Aikey, Eisenhower Auditorium, or Shannon Bishop, Penn State Downtown Theatre Center. Each year millions of candy wrappers are needlessly thrown away, and most end up in landfills. TerraCycle partners with Mars, Wrigley and Cadbury to create a second life for candy packaging, but all brands of wrappers and candy bags are accepted for the recycling program.

Fifty years of the Beatles By KENNETH WOMACK

fainting, screaming, wet seats. The whole hall went into some kind of state, almost like collective hypnotism. I’d never seen anything like it.” After a bewildered Radio Scotland journalist reportedly asked, “For God’s sake, Andi, what’s happening?” Lothian confidently responded that “it’s only Beatlemania.” Lothian’s memories notwithstanding, Canadian journalist Sandy Gardiner was known to take credit for the term’s first usage, which appeared in an Ottawa Journal article entitled “Heavy Disc Dose Spreads Disease in England.” Unfortunately for Gardiner’s oft-repeated claim, his article didn’t see publication until Nov. 9, 1963 — more than a month after Lothian’s utterance during the Beatles’ Dundee performance. For most Beatles scholars and historians, the first usage of Beatlemania is typically associated with the Daily Mirror, one of Great Britain’s oldest tabloids. Nearly three weeks after the band’s sizzling performance at the Palladium, the Beatles had taken their act to rural Cheltenham, some two hours northwest of London, and the frenzied fan reaction that they had enjoyed after Val Parnell’s variety show ignited once again. The next morning, Nov. 2, 1963, the Beatles dominated the headlines, with the Daily Mirror trumpeting “Beatlemania! It’s happening everywhere,” in the enthusiastic words of beat reporter Don Short, “even in sedate Cheltenham.” But regardless of its origins, the term Beatlemania — as with the Beatles themselves — had arrived to stay.

Special to The Gazette

ALTOONA — For most Americans, the explosive power of Beatlemania first revealed itself with the Beatles’ legendmaking appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show” on Feb. 9, 1964. But back in their homeland, the Beatles’ fame had reached its fever pitch some four months earlier. On Oct. 13, 1963, the band performed before a national television audience of 15 million viewers on the popular British variety show “Val Parnell’s Sunday Night” at the London Palladium. On that other magical Sunday evening, the Beatles’ rising star, already locked in an upward trajectory, managed to shine even brighter across the British isles. That night, the band played a four-song set that included “From Me to You,” “I’ll Get You” and “She Loves You,” their runaway No. 1 single. The band concluded their stint with their famously raucous cover version of “Twist and Shout.” While the group had been attracting increasingly ecstatic crowds throughout the spring and summer months, the scene at the Palladium was pure pandemonium. By the end of the show, more than 2,000 frenzied fans had collected outside on Oxford Street. “Screaming girls launched themselves against the police — sending helmets flying and constables reeling,” the Daily Herald reported the next morning. Interestingly, the first usage of the term Beatlemania remains a matter of some dispute, although the phrase’s coinage can be directly attributed to Lisztomania — the mid-19th century hysteria associated with Hungarian composer Franz Liszt. Scottish concert promoter Andi Lothian claims to be the progenitor of the term Beatlemania after having witnessed the band’s performance at Dundee’s Caird Hall in October 1963. As Lothian later recalled, “The girls were beginning to overwhelm us. I saw one of them almost getting to Ringo’s drum kit. ... It was absolute pandemonium. Girls

Kenneth Womack is the author of numerous works of nonfiction, including “Long and Winding Roads: The Evolving Artistry of the Beatles” (2007). He has also written three novels, the most recent this year’s “Playing the Angel.” A professor of English and integrative arts at Penn State Altoona, Womack was selected in April 2013 to serve as the sixth Penn State laureate.

Bubble, bubble are the markets in trouble? I belong to a local business persons’ group and I gave a presentation a few weeks ago to its members. An interesting question arose as we talked about the financial crisis that occurred five years ago. The question was whether what happened in the financial markets would happen again. My answer was yes. The reality is that bubbles have happened again and again throughout history. Greed, euphoria and fear play equal parts in any good bubJudy Loy, ChFC, ble. is a registered The latest bubble investment advisor was, at its core, caused and CEO at Nestlerode & Loy by real estate. GovInvestment Adviernment deregulasors, State College. tion, banks no longer Loy is a regular requiring down paycolumnist for ments and securitizing StateCollege.com. of mortgages led to an overheated market. Large bets were placed based on the delusion that housing prices would not go down. Then they did. Leverage, such as taking a loan on a house, can amplify the

JUDY LOY

ability of our population to do business, buy cars, go to college and buy a home. It allows resources to be amplified to benefit all involved. For example, just think how long it would take for you to save enough money to pay cash for a car, let alone a house. Instead, we put in a down payment, say 10 or 20 percent, and are able to enjoy the car or house while we pay off the loan. Leverage helps us to buy things we couldn’t otherwise afford. Ever take advantage of a 12-monthsame-as-cash deal to pay your dental bill or to buy an engagement ring? The problem with leverage is when you can’t pay the monthly bills and the asset backing the loan isn’t worth as much. That is what happened to real estate across the U.S. From the bottom to the top, banks, securities firms and people took risk based on ever-rising home prices. When the bubble burst, people couldn’t make their mortgage payments (perhaps due to balloon payments, lost jobs or over-leverage) and the houses ended up being worth less than the loans on them. This is a good case for requiring down payments on real estate so that the owner has skin in the game and protects the debtor if the price goes down. The difference with this bubble was the depth and breadth of housing in our economy. It created jobs through construction, mortgage

lenders and all the stuff that people bought for their houses. It also increased real estate taxes as home values increased. Everyone was fat and happy. Market prices are always subject to supply and demand. As demand dwindled and over-supply occurred, we were trapped in a large economic quagmire from which we are just recovering. It took a lot of government intervention to stop a larger meltdown, not only here but around the world, and we are still seeing the effects of the worst recession since the Great Depression. Another bubble in recent memory was the “dot com” or Internet bubble. In the late 1990s, the Internet was coming to the forefront and everyone wanted a piece of the action. It went something like this: No sales, no assets on your balance sheet but want to start a business on the Internet? No problem! You can do an IPO and raise lots of money. For every Amazon and eBay that survived, there were a multitude of businesses that went belly up, as did investor portfolios, when the Internet bubble burst. If you want to see the steep fall, take a look at a graph of the tech-heavy Nasdaq from 1990 to today. We still have not recovered to the highs of March 2000 and the Internet bubble. The concept was that the Internet and

Internet commerce had welcomed in a new day and had changed our whole economy. The misconception was that Internet stocks would never go down (sound familiar?) and any Internet stock was a sure thing. Greenspan coined it the “Goldilocks Economy,” which meant it was not too hot and not too cold. While the Internet bubble bursting took a lot of people’s 401(k)s and IRAs down, it didn’t create the “Great Recession” like the real estate bubble of 2008 did. It did not reach as many areas of the economy, but it did put a dent in people’s retirement plans. It definitely was a warning sign for those who did not heed the need for diversification and stuck all their money into the Internet and its related technology. What’s next on the horizon? Are we creating another bubble with the Federal Reserve buying bonds and leaving interest rates incredibly low? What about the high level of student loans? Or the large amount of car loans? Bubbles are hard to spot, but we feel them when they pop. Is there any way to avoid bubbles as an investor? Keep an eye out for euphoria. When newspapers, pundits and everyone — including all your neighbors — thinks something is a “no risk” situation and “nothing can go wrong,” it is time to run for the hills. Anything that always goes up, won’t.

Siemens CEO emphasizes innovation, Griffin elected as sustainability in Executive Insights lecture chapter chairman From Gazette staff reports

UNIVERSITY PARK — During his visit to the Penn State Smeal College of Business as part of the college’s Executive Insights series, Siemens Corp. President and CEO Eric A. Spiegel emphasized the importance of innovation to his company’s operations. “Siemens really takes pride in making things,” said Spiegel, and Siemens can credit much of its longevity to the fact that the global engineering company keeps innovating. Spiegel also talked about the opportunities and challenges of his role at Siemens, his leadership style and the company’s commitment to sustainability during his talk on Sept. 20. Siemens has a close relationship with Penn State and is involved in research and development initiatives at the University; the company also heavily recruits Penn State students for jobs. In fact, Siemens currently employs more alumni from Penn State than from any other university, according to Spiegel. Spiegel joined Siemens in 2010 as president and CEO of Siemens Corp. and CEO of the U.S. Region, where he is responsible for growing the U.S. business in the industry, energy, health care, and infrastructure and cities sectors.

ERIC SPIEGEL, left, president and CEO of Siemens Corp., speaks with Charles Whiteman on Sept. 20 as part of the Executive Insights lecture series, which brings high-profile executives to Penn State to talk about leadership and business. He brought with him more than two decades of experience in global consulting with complex organizations in the energy, power, chemical, water, industrial and automotive fields, and expertise on the global energy industry. He holds a master of business administration degree from Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business and a bachelor’s degree in economics from Harvard University.

Executive Insights is designed to complement the Smeal educational experience by bringing high-profile business leaders to the college to connect with students, faculty, staff and administrators. Past guests include more than 25 leaders from organizations such as Boeing, Dell, Deloitte, Johnson & Johnson, Kohl’s, KPMG, Procter & Gamble, Samsung, Verizon and Tumi Holdings Inc.

Three companies join Smeal College of Business Corporate Associates Program From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — AT&T, UPMC and Volvo are the three newest companies to become members of the Penn State Smeal College of Business Corporate Associates Program. They join 18 existing corporate associates as well as corporate partner Kohl’s Department Stores. The Corporate Associates Program allows companies to increase their visibility at Smeal and provides opportunities to tap into the broader resources of the college and the University. “Our corporate associates receive unparalleled access to Smeal’s many student organizations, and they also have the opportunity to connect

through class lectures, case studies and advisory boards,” explained Meg Brower, associate director for corporate outreach in Smeal’s Career and Corporate Connections office. “There are really a number of opportunities for associates to engage the student body by supporting student activities.” Two Corporate Associate Career Fairs are held each academic year, giving associates an exclusive opportunity to network with Smeal students seeking jobs and internships. The fall career fair was held on Sept. 16 in the business building and was attended by 19 companies. The full list of Smeal’s corporate associates includes Kohl’s, Aldi, Altria, AT&T, Baker Tilly, Bechtel Corp.,

Deloitte, Dick’s Sporting Goods, EY, Ferguson, Grant Thornton, Heinz, Ingersoll Rand, Johnson & Johnson, KPMG, Macy’s, PNC, PPG Industries, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Shell Oil, UPMC and Volvo. With thousands of students at the undergraduate and MBA levels alone, Smeal is one of the largest business schools in the nation. Connecting with Smeal means engaging with that student body as well as opening up possibilities for connections with industry-specific research centers, student consulting programs and executive-level educational programming. For more information on how your company can get involved with Smeal, visit www.smeal.psu.edu/ corp.
