County to look into natural gas expansion By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — To assess the possibility of natural gas expansion, Centre County has partnered with other counties and other organizations. On Oct. 21, the Centre County board of commissioners approved a memorandum of understanding between the county and the Susquehanna Economic Development Association Council of Government for the Regional Gas Utilization Initiative Project. According to Susan Hannegan, assistant director for the county’s planning and community development office, Centre, Clinton and Mifflin counties have partnered with SEDA-COG to identify three areas in each county that could benefit from the expansion of natural gas services. The goal, she said, is to “extend natural gas distribution lines so that more properties can take advantage of natural gas as a fuel source.” Each county must identify three target areas for expansion. In Centre County, that includes: Milesburg, from Bald Eagle Area High School to Interstate 80; the Snow Shoe interchange going west to Mountaintop Elementary School; and a large residential area in Philipsburg Borough near the high school. Another area that should be considered, according to Commissioner Chris Exarchos, is Centre Hall and Penns Valley since the county does get requests for natural gas there. Each county must contribute $20,000 for the project, Hannegan said. SEDACOG will also contribute $20,000 and a grant through the U.S. Economic Development Administration will make up the remaining $80,000, for a total of $160,000. Centre County has already contributed the necessary funds, Commissioner Michael Pipe said. Centre County is providing staff for the project through the office of planning and community development, Hannegan said, and will be reimbursed through the project for that. Since it is costly to expand infrastructure in rural counties such as Centre County, Exarchos said this project will help unite communities and facilitate the switch from oil and electric, which can be costly, to natural gas. Another goal of this project, he said, is to find ways to keep the natural gas drilled within the county. The study to identify where natural gas is needed in the county must be finished by May, Hannegan said, and the counties should expect a report by June. A new natural gas well spud was created about two weeks ago in the Snow Shoe area, Hannegan said. While drilling did not go all the way down to the Marcellus shale layer, it’s the first activity the Gas, Page 4 Opinion ............................ 7 Health & Wellness ......... 8, 9

Career Link operation moves into new facility By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — When it comes to finding a job in Centre County, Pennsylvania Career Link is a great resource. When the Centre County office outgrew its old space, it need to find a larger place to call home base. That spot is in Bellefonte’s Match Factory. On Oct. 20, the doors at 240 Match Factory Place officially opened for business. For the workers at Career Link, the move wasn’t extremely taxing. In fact, the move was right next door in the Match Factory. Erica Mulberger, executive director of the Central Pennsylvania Workforce Development Corporation, explained that Career Link simply needed a larger facility. “We had a large number of participants coming to our Bellefonte site before right next door. We wanted to come to a larger space,” Mulberger said. “Here, we have more visibility from the road. With the larger space, we can provide more services. It didn’t take a lot of renovations to meet our needs. We’re very pleased with the facility.” The new facility features resources for job seekers. There are several banks of

computers where Centre County residents can look and apply for jobs. There’s also classroom space where instructors can help job seekers polish their resumes, brush up on computer programs and work on interviewing skills. According to Mulberger, having more space is vital to the continued success of Career Link. “We have a great computer resource area now. People can come in, search for jobs, get job training skills, learn to write a resume, things like that,” Mulberger explained. “We have more classroom space so employers can come (here) and do interviews. If they don’t have enough space at their facility, they can do it here. We can also have small job fairs here.” Centre County Commissioner Steve Dershem sits on the local elected officials board for the development corporation. He stopped by to tour the new facility on its opening day. “These folks do some amazing work,” Dershem said of Career Link. “They reach out to just about every level of our society, every age group and take care of job training and job education. They work with employers. They provide a fantastic function for our community.” Career Link, Page 6 Sports ......................... 19-23 Arts & Entertainment 24, 25

STATE COLLEGE — Despite threats of foreclosure and a lawsuit, the Autoport Motel and Clem’s Roadside Bar and Grill owners are looking toward the future and staying on track with attempting to build their business. Co-owners Greg Mussi and his wife, Lynda, have been running the Autoport for about seven years now. The two bought the business when it was in danger of being demolished. “We just fell in love with the place,” Mussi said, adding that restoring the outdated motel rooms was always a priority, but the capital to do so hasn’t always been available. “(We didn’t realize) how much of an undertaking it really is,” he said. “Not just running it, but repairing it. Being Pennsylvania’s first motel, it’s old and age causes issues with infrastructure. I think we underestimated the scope of the work that needed to be done. “As a result, we got ourselves into some serious financial problems with the bank. Those are things we’re trying to correct right now.” To jumpstart a new era of the Autoport and begin needed improvements, the Mussis applied to the Travel Channel’s “Hotel Impossible,” which Mussi said helped them realize what they needed to improve upon. They also partnered with barbecue expert Clem Pantalone to rebrand the restaurant. Motel, Page 5

Mount Nittany Health hosts breast health event By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — While breast health is a common topic for women of all ages, understanding practices and a breast cancer diagnosis can seem as alien as a foreign language. Many women, according to area breast health experts, are unsure of many breast health practices, including interpreting mammograms and options available if diagnosed with breast cancer. To educate women about all facets of breast health, Mount Nittany Health hosted “An Evening Dedicated to Breast Health” on Oct. 21. The event featured an expo with information about breast health and a presentation by Mount Nittany Health physicians and radiologists. “We were looking for an opportunity to bring education and awareness about breast health and start a dialogue with women about wellness,” said Nichole Monica, communications and media relations director for Mount Nittany Health. “It’s important to be able to have these types of events.” Dr. Allison Yingling and Dr. Anna Hood, radiologists at Mount Nittany Health’s Breast Care Center, explained the variety of screening techniques used, including mammograms and ultrasounds. Yingling and Hood also told audience members about the new breast density law, which requires all mammogram reports to state the density of a woman’s breast. This is important, Yingling and Hood said, because having dense breasts can make it harder to see cancers on a mammogram and may increase the risk of breast cancer. The radiologists also discussed digital breast tomosynthesis, or 3-D mammograms. Yingling and Hood said that while the 3-D mammogram will require more work since it takes more pictures than a regular mammogram, it is likelier to catch more cancers earlier and reduce the number of false positives.

Mount Nittany Health is expected to receive this technology within a year. According to Dr. Stephen Miller, a general surgeon with Mount Nittany Physician Group, about a third of their practice is made up of breast disease. During his portion of the presentation, Miller discussed treatment of breast cancer, including the options between removal and control of the cancer, emphasizing that each case requires a different treatment. The two options for removal of the cancer include a mastectomy, in which about 95 percent of tissue is removed from the infected breast, and a lumpectomy, in which the tumor and a wide margin around it are removed. After 20 years, women who received a mastectomy and women who received a lumpectomy plus radiation therapy have the same survival rate, he said. Some form of radiation therapy and chemotherapy is usually involved during treatment, especially if the cancer has spread elsewhere in the body, he added. After a breast cancer diagnosis, exploring treatment often includes discussion about breast reconstruction. Dr. Emily Peterson, a board-certified plastic surgeon with Mount Nittany Physician Group, said that there are a variety of surgical techniques that can be used to restore a breast close to its normal shape, appearance and size after treatment. Like breast cancer treatment, each case is unique, and is usually discussed before treatment takes place. Breast reconstruction, Peterson said, can be performed during a mastectomy or afterward if the patient’s medical condition requires so. According to federal and state laws, breast reconstruction in Pennsylvania is covered under insurance. Surgeries and reconstruction on the noninfected breast to create symmetry are also covered. The two reconstruction options, Peterson said, are implant-based and autologus. Implants can be made from saline, silicone or a harder “gummy bear” substance, and the process can begin during a mastectomy or lumpectomy. Autologus reconstruc-

Before reconstruction, many women ask about breast function and feeling, said Peterson. She stressed that since most treatments require taking large portions of

the breast, the new one will only mimic a normal breast, but not act like one. “I was happy to hear about the possible treatments and reconstruction options available for breast cancer,” said Mount Nittany, Page 4

Ground broken for Building 331 in Innovation Park By HARRY ZIMBLER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — “Innovation Park is a model for the way economics, research and education can work together,” said Erwin Greenburg, chairman and founding partner of GLP Development. Greenburg was speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony for Building 331 Innovation Boulevard, which took place at the Penn Stater Hotel and Conference on Oct. 21. The new facility will be the first LEEDcertified building in Innovation Park. The building is estimated to cost nearly $18 million, bringing GLP’s total investment in Innovation Park to $56 million. The 331 Building is scheduled to be completed by August. Of its 87,000-plus square feet, 82,000 will be available for rental. The groundbreaking ceremony began with remarks from Neil Sharkey, vice president for research at Penn State. “What we celebrate today is a commitment to a new vision of economic development based upon the world class research done at Penn State,” he said. “The sun is rising on a new day of technology transfer at this center for higher education.” State Sen. Jake Corman, R-Bellefonte, noted that the new building is part of Mount Nittany, from page 3 Marie Kampire, a certified nursing assistant student who attended the event. Kampire also said she liked hearing about early detection options and, before attending the event, didn’t know about the breast density report requirement. Helen Rogers-Koon, of Bellefonte, said this is the fourth Mount Nittany Health event she has attended. “Learning about breast density was helpful,” she said, “and also the reconstruction options.” Much of this information isn’t readily available, but what she learned at the event she said will be useful when teaching nursing classes.

Penn State President Eric Barron’s focus on making Penn State an economic driver with a new strategy. “It is a refreshing and exciting approach for the university. There is now a plan to create jobs that will create wealth in the community.” Sharkey noted that Penn State has many new initiatives in place to maximize faculty and student research with many more plans to come. According to Dan Leri, director of Innovation Park, there is a need for the 331 Building. “Space in the park is in demand,” he said. “In the past 18 months we’ve had immediate need requests for, and sufficient inquiries for, space to initiate the next build program in the west end of the park. It’s one more step in the execution of the master plan build-out. With no vacancy for the past few years, we need additional space to offer companies and organizations interested in joining the Innovation Park community.” Robert F. Barron, CEO of managing partner GLP Development Company, said Innovation Park is attractive to companies seeking the unique qualities of a college town and access to Penn State resources such as research, technology and talent. “Innovation Park is a unique business Mount Nittany Health’s Cancer Care Partnership is also collaborating with the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition to bring the photo exhibit “67 Women, 67 Counties: Facing Breast Cancer in Pennsylvania” to Mount Nittany Medical Center from Thursday, Oct. 23, to Friday, Oct. 31. The exhibit, which will be set up in the Lance and Ellen Shaner Cancer Pavilion, is intended to continue to raise awareness about breast cancer through the end of October, Monica said. “We want to celebrate women and put a face on the people battling breast cancer, survivors and their families,” she said.

The county has recently received requests from Miles Township for two generators and Howard Borough for one. “In their request letters, (both municipalities) indicated that the generators will be used for their respective fire companies,” Lauri said. At this time, the commissioners agreed to allocate one generator to Miles Township and will further investigate what they plan to use the second generator for before making a final decision. The county intends to allocate the decommissioned generators to any local fire department that needs one. If there are extras, the possibility of the municipalities receiving the generators for personal use can be explored, Exarchos said.

county has had since 2012. The county currently has 64 wells with 24 in production and no permits for new activity, Hannegan said. The commissioners also approved the allocation of one generator each to Miles Township and Howard Borough. The generators are available due to the county switching over to a new 911 emergency system, which began last year. “We replaced all of the generators at the existing 911 sites that we continue to use,” said Gene Lauri of the county’s Criminal Justice Planning Department. “In late 2013 and early 2014, they were replaced with diesel generators.”

School district, union continue negotiations By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — It’s back to the negotiating table. Recent attempts to find a compromise between the State College Area School District and a union representing the district’s paraprofessionals have failed. School board member David Hutchinson says the district has been negotiating with representatives from the Pennsylvania State Education Association since January. The PSEA represents the State College Educational Support Association, which includes about 370 employees ranging from teacher’s assistants to secretaries. After meeting 13 times without coming to an agreement on terms for a new contract for the district’s paraprofessionals, Hutchinson says both parties agreed to go through a fact finder. The fact finder — a third-party individual appointed by the state to help mediate contract disputes — reviewed the disagreements and outlined a possible compromise in a report released to the public earlier this month. The SCASD voted to accept the report as the basis for a new contract, but the union voted twice to reject it. “The main stumbling block for us is that any proposed wage increase doesn’t overcome the out-of-pocket expenses for health insurance costs,� Jane Brubaker of the PSEA said. “Our membership voted almost unanimously not to accept what amounts to a pay cut for these workers.� School board president Penni Fishbaine says the cost of employee benefits is a difficult issue for the district as well. The district’s budget remains relatively constant year to year, but she says the cost of health benefits increases up to 14 percent annually. Hutchinson says the school board has not yet met to discuss the PSEA’s rejection of the fact finder report. He says the board will meet with union representatives to continue negotiations in the “relatively near future.� “Even if the fact finder’s report gets rejected, it does provide some information to both sides on what an impartial party thinks of the conversation,� Hutchinson said. “It provides additional perspective that may be helpful to negotiations.� Brubaker says the previous negotiations between the district and SCESPA took two and a half years, though all parties involved are hoping for a quicker resolution to this conversation.

Motel, from page 1 Autoport’s episode of “Hotel Impossibleâ€? aired on Oct. 14, days after Pantalone’s ex-wife, the owner of Clem’s CafĂŠ in Blairsville, filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against the business. “We’re fairly confident that the courts are going to recognize that the individual whose name is Clem, who has been doing this for 25 years, is now connected with a fullservice restaurant and bar and is completely different than the Clem’s that is challenging our use of the name,â€? Mussi said. While Clem’s Roadside Bar and Grill has ribs on its menu, a similar feature to Clem’s CafĂŠ, it also has other appetizers, salads and restaurant-style food selections, explained Mussi. “It’s two completely different businesses,â€? Pantalone said. While dealing with that, the Mussis are also setting their sights on continuing motel improvements and have launched a fundraising campaign to do so. Through Kickstarter, the Mussis hope to raise $50,000. When rooms are renovated, they can be rented out at higher rates, which will bring in money to renovate more rooms. Their program, “Support the Port,â€? will be open until Friday, Nov. 28. “We’re hopeful that we’re going to meet our goal,â€? he said. And Mussi has already decided on what he does and doesn’t want to do during renovations. “One of the things I don’t want to do is renovate the

rooms to the point where you feel like you’re in a corporate motel somewhere,� he said. “I want to maintain the character and charm of a motel that’s nearly 80 years old.� “Hotel Impossible� was able to do this effectively, he said, but could only redo one room. Since being featured on “Hotel Impossible,� Mussi said many have come forward in support of the business, including people who are interested in partnering with them. “Clem and I have the restaurant down pretty good,� he said. “But the motel still needs some help. There are people outside this area that recognize what we have here and are on the same page with us in terms of converting us into a boutique motel, which would really be a destination place. There aren’t many places where you can go back into history and have that type of experience.� In addition to showcasing the history of the Autoport, Mussi is also looking to continue to capitalize on his partnership with Pantalone. “He has a legion of followers,� Mussi said. “The first thing they want to know is if it’s really Clem. And yes, it’s really him. I think we’ve done some vast improvements on that end of the business.� “I’m excited to be here and back in action,� Pantalone said. “My model works best on a roadway. In this situation, South Atherton is a busy road now. There’s like 20,000 cars a day watching me grill away in the morning.� In spite of recent issues, Mussi said neither business is going anywhere anytime soon. “Our demise has been greatly exaggerated,� he said. “We’ll be here for a great long while.�

PSU updates borough council on construction plan By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

CHRIS MORELLI/The Gazette

AT THE NEW Career Link center in Bellefonte, there are plenty of computers for job seekers. The new center is located at 240 Match Factory Place. Career Link, from page 1 Career Link plays a vital role in Centre County. No one knows that better than Bellefonte borough manager Ralph Stewart. “Career Link is an integral part of what we do. They provide services to help people get employed and better themselves,” Stewart said. The Career Link office is one of the anchors in the Match Factory, Stewart said. “The entire complex is a true success story. It started with the American Philatelic Society purchasing the property around the year 2000 and they’ve been developing the whole complex ever since,” Stewart said. Dershem agreed, calling the Match Factory an “amazing structure.” “You talk about urban renewal and regrowth … they took something that was

run down and turned it into something that is now the hub of a lot of businesses and service organizations in our community,” Dershem said. Hundreds of people use the Career Link facilities on a weekly basis. That means more people coming into downtown Bellefonte, which is a very good thing, according to Stewart. Stewart was thrilled that Career Link chose to remain in the borough. “Anytime a business comes into the borough, we’re ecstatic that they’re opening up. They’re promoting more commerce in our community,” Stewart said. For more information about Career Link, visit www.cwds.pa.gov or stop by 240 Match Factory Place in Bellefonte. “We’re really here for the employers, businesses and job seekers,” Mulberger said.

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State and State College are inextricably linked, which the university takes into consideration when planning construction and renovation on campus. “Plans for university development are informed by local and regional planning goals,” Penn State director of campus planning Gordon Turow told the State College Borough council at its Monday night meeting. “We want to enhance the physical relationship between campus and the surrounding community by strengthening connections between the two.” Turow, with the help of campus planner Steve Watson, updated council on the university’s plans for expansion, construction and renovation over the next five years. Watson said that the philosophy of connecting campus and downtown can be seen in the Health and Human Development and South Henderson construction projects. Both buildings are designed with open spaces and windows to visually connect with College Avenue, which several council members said they appreciate. Penn State currently has about 20 million square feet of indoor space across all campus buildings. Turow says the university plans to increase this by 4.5 million, 30 percent of which is planned for campus buildings west of Atherton Street. Watson said there are plans to construct a handful of new buildings, including a new music recital hall and two new dorms that will add about 300 student beds to campus. Numerous spaces across campus will also see road improvements and added pedestrian safety measures. Watson also told council members that numerous buildings around campus are now in varying stages of being renovated.

He said there is a larger trend across the country to focus more on renovation over new construction, which is reflected in Penn State’s five-year plans. Several council members, including Peter Morris and Theresa Lafer, raised concerns about the aesthetics and functionality of the Hammond Building, which runs along West College Avenue between South Allen Street and North Burrowes Road. Morris described it as “an imposing physical barrier between downtown and campus.” Turow responded that the building “has good bones,” and lends itself well to renovation and aesthetic updates. No long term plans are in place to change the footprint of the building. Morris, Lafer and Evan Myers also raised question about the power plant on College Avenue and questioned the planned lifetime for the natural gas pipeline that now runs to the facility. They also cited safety concerns. Turow noted that these concerns were addressed numerous times over the past year in conversations about the pipeline. He added that some aspects of the building — such as the steam stack on the back of the building — will be removed during the transition to natural gas, making the building more aesthetically pleasing. Affordable Housing Coalition member Paul Spring also addressed council on the importance of adding more affordable housing to the borough. He thanked the council members for their work to add more than 300 affordable units to the borough in the coming years, but stressed there is still a great need that hasn’t been met. “It seems there’s plenty of housing for students and people of means here,” Spring said. “This isn’t just about poor and homeless people. There are also people of limited incomes that can’t afford to purchase or rent decent housing in the borough.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Beware, local taxpayers In case you didn’t know, your supervisors and elected officials are at it again. These people were elected to look after the best interest of their borough and township — not everyone else’s problems. Now they want property owners to pay for the Kepler swimming pool in Bellefonte because no one wants to go out and work for the money like all the other pools in the area had to do. How do you think all these playgrounds and ball fields came out? People went out and got donations. A .443 mill or $26 forever property tax was not added. It’s time to stand up to these people. Call your borough or township elected officials and tell them “no” before you get blindsided by something you didn’t know about. This area has suffered a lot with all the jobs that left the area. People on fixed incomes who are property owners have been burdened enough, so speak out and say “no.” It’s time they take care of the property owners who pay their bills — not burden them more. Act today. Don’t wait. Call now and say NO. Joe Galbraith Pleasant Gap

But one thing we’ve heard over and over about sex offenders is that getting on with their lives means leaving a trail of victims. In any event, Lee was in the ARD program for nine months and did eight hours of community service. Then, confident that he had cleared his good name, according to the CDT, he ran for re-election to the Harris Township Board of Supervisors. And lost. In 2013, he ran again. In its coverage of the race, the CDT seemed not to have considered the possibility that voters would be interested to know about the 2005 charges. They weren’t mentioned. And lo and behold, Lee got his seat back, 51 to 49 percent. Now, this prominent member of the community is again alleged to have indecently assaulted a minor. Sound familiar? Recall that in 1998 a mother reported to the University Police that Jerry Sandusky had showered with her son on campus, and that no charges were filed. Recall that in 2001 Mike McQueary reported to the honchos at Penn State that he had seen Sandusky and a boy in the showers on campus, and that no charges were filed then either. Do you get the impression that sex crimes aren’t taken all that seriously around here? Those who insist that the Sandusky case was not a football scandal are absolutely right. It’s a Happy Valley scandal. And a Centre County scandal. And a Pennsylvania scandal. And an American scandal. A few days ago, Penn State students carried mattresses around town in solidarity with a Columbia University rape victim who has vowed to carry a mattress until her accused rapist is brought to justice. The students shouldn’t have to carry that weight alone. It’s high time the grownups shouldered the burden.

No need for U.S. to panic about Ebola By The Los Angeles Times A Texas university refuses to accept students from Nigeria, where there were a couple dozen Ebola cases before the disease was quickly stopped. Louisiana refuses to allow incinerated trash from the treatment of Texas’ first Ebola victim, Thomas Eric Duncan, into its landfills, as though the virus would survive immolation. A passenger on a cruise ship to Mexico who may have been exposed to lab samples from Duncan, but who appears to be healthy, is given a blood screening for Ebola, even though the test isn’t reliable in people without symptoms. Schools in Ohio and Texas have been closed and their contents bleached because of the remote chance that a single student or teacher might have been exposed to someone who carried the virus. The children and teachers involved had no symptoms, which meant they could not have been contagious even if they had been infected. There is no sign so far that they were.

Parents in Mississippi kept their children out of school after the principal traveled to Africa — not to one of the afflicted countries but to an entirely different part of the continent. Concern about a disease as deadly as Ebola, for which there is no cure, is not misplaced. Any erring should be done on the side of caution. But there has been far too much frantic, irrational worry over what amounts to a handful of Ebola cases and a single death in the United States. Some of the blame, of course, rests with federal authorities, especially those in charge at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who failed to get their arms around the situation. In an attempt to avoid a public panic, they instead created a worse one by making assurances that were quickly shown to be wrong. Contrary to what officials told the public, the passenger screening processes in place at the time Duncan entered the country were inadequate. Hospitals weren’t nearly as prepared as health officials claimed. Proper quarantine procedures weren’t R

in place for those who had been exposed. The rules were constantly being changed and the tracking of possible exposure expanded. It looked as though government experts weren’t in control, and that sparked fear. President Obama, who was slow to react to the situation in this country, made the wise decision last week to put a single person in charge of the government’s response. Ron Klain is a former chief of staff to Vice President Joe Biden, but more important, he has a long history of working with the executive branch. There have been complaints that he’s not a health expert. But what’s needed isn’t medical expertise; it’s skill in coordinating and organizing government operations, communicating with the public and asking the seemingly dumb public health questions that should have been asked much earlier. Those are challenges well suited to a Washington insider. Klain should keep in mind that Americans don’t want to hear soothing words; they want accurate information and signs of well-organized action.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

Simple steps can lead to safe sleep for infants HERSHEY — The number of infants who die each year from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome has decreased in recent decades as awareness of safe sleeping habits has increased. Yet each year, babies still die from sudden, unexplained causes. Most parents know that it’s best for infants to sleep on their backs, rather than on their sides or bellies. But other caregivers may not — especially if they raised their children in a time when there was less awareness about safe sleeping habits. Leigh Brown, a health educator at Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital’s Pediatric Trauma Injury Prevention Program, said a baby’s sleeping environment during the first year of life is one of the biggest factors in SIDS deaths. “It’s confusing for parents because in the media you see these cribs that look all cute and soft and comfortable, when all you really need is a mattress with a tight-fitting sheet,” she said. Items such as crib bumpers, extra bedding, stuffed animals and loose sheets and blankets can cause suffocation for infants who aren’t yet able to roll or extract themselves from dangerous situations. “People have the misconception that babies are freezing, but overheating them is a risk factor as well,” Brown said. “If you are comfortable in your house, they probably

are as well.” If you must use a blanket with an infant, she suggests tucking it in tightly along the sides and bottom of the crib and no higher than the infant’s armpit so it doesn’t get near the face. Brown said parents shouldn’t bother to spend their money on items such as sleep positioners, which claim to reduce the risk of SIDS or create a safe environment. “Those items haven’t proven to be safe,” she said. Nor do parents need to worry about the infant rolling from back to side or belly during sleep. If the child is able to roll, he or she is likely able to avoid suffocation. Many SIDS deaths occur when parents practice bed sharing — placing the baby between the parents in a regular bed. If parents want their baby to be nearby, it’s best to practice room sharing instead by placing the baby in a separate crib or cradle near, but not in, the adult bed. Mothers who tend to drift off to sleep while breastfeeding their babies run the risk of having their babies wedge into the crevice of their arm and suffocate. Exposure to secondhand smoke on an adult’s clothing or in the home environment can also increase the chances of a SIDS death. In Pennsylvania, all hospitals and birthing centers are required by law to provide families with safe sleep education programs.

Gene variants linked to delayed healing of bone fractures HERSHEY — Slow-healing or non-healing bone fractures in otherwise healthy people may be caused by gene variants that are common in the population, according to Penn State College of Medicine researchers. “We found associations between certain gene polymorphisms and delayed fracture healing in a sample of patients,� said J. Spence Reid, professor of orthopaedics and rehabilitation. “Our study was preliminary but it demonstrated the feasibility of a larger one, which we’re now working to set up.� The identification of gene variants that delay fracture healing could lead to screening tests for patients with broken bones. Those patients deemed likely to experience slow healing could be given more aggressive treatment when they first reach the hospital, potentially avoiding months of debilitation. The researchers reported their results in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. Of the 8 million bone fractures in the U.S. every year, about 10 percent fail to heal normally. Smoking, diabetes, NSAID use, low vitamin D levels and old age are known risk factors, but in a significant subset of cases, unknown factors appear to be involved. “Some fractures are slow-healing for no obvious reason, and we wondered if

there is a genetic basis for those cases,� said Reid. He and his colleagues selected from their records 33 patients diagnosed with “atrophic nonunion� — the failure of a fracture to knit together on its own within six months. As controls, they selected 29 patients whose fractures had healed normally. Using cheek swabs, the researchers obtained DNA from the patients. In each case they checked tiny sites of known DNAsequence variations — “single nucleotide polymorphisms� — that mark common gene variants. They looked only at the SNPs within 30 genes suspected of involvement in fracture healing. The analysis revealed three SNPs that were more common in the non-healing group than in the normal-healing group — hinting that their respective gene variants may somehow impair or fail to support fracture healing. Two of these SNPs are within a single gene, which codes for the enzyme nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2). Prior studies showed that this enzyme is produced early in the fracture healing process, and that deletion of the NOS2 gene delays healing in mice. The other SNP of interest lies within the gene for interleukin 1-Beta, a signaling molecule best known as a promoter of

Brennan makes ‘CFOs to Know’ 2014 list DANVILLE — Kevin Brennan, executive vice president of finance and chief financial officer of Geisinger Health System, has been named to the Becker’s Hospital Review’s list of “150 Hospital and Health System CFOs to Know� for 2014. This is the second time he has made the list. “I am honored to be included on this prestigious list and know it reflects the work done by our finance team,� Brennan said. “I consider this to be a team honor for the quality work we do.� To develop this list, the Becker’s Hospital Review editorial team considered nominations, reviewed prior BHR lists and conducted editorial research. “These men and women have demonstrated excellence in health care financial management by leading some of the largest, most prominent and financially successful health care organizations in the nation,� Becker’s Hospital Review staff said in the article announcing the list. Brennan has been CFO at Geisinger since 1995. He is responsible for all financial operations and directs key operational

functions. He also serves on the board of directors of Healthcare Financial Management Association — the nation’s largest membership organization for health care finance professionals. A certified public accountant since 1979, Brennan is a KEVIN BRENNAN member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants. He has been an HFMA fellow since 1992, and previously served on HFMA’s principles and practices board.

Each issue of Becker’s Hospital Review reaches more than 18,000 people, primarily acute-care hospital CEOs and CFOs.

inflammation. Interleukin 1-Beta is suspected also to be an early orchestrator of the new bone growth that knits together a fracture. The findings point to the possibility that common variants of NOS2 and interleukin 1-Beta have reduced function in support of fracture healing, and raise the risk of a delayed healing. But Reid cautioned that the small patient sample and the small number of genes analyzed means that the results should be considered preliminary until a larger study is done. The researchers are currently planning a study with a larger patient sample and a broader mapping of the genome, to provide a more definitive picture of the gene variants associated with delayed fracture healing. In principle, identifying specific gene variants as risk factors for poor fracture healing would lead not only to the development of patient screening tests, but also to a better understanding of the basic biology of how fractures heal. “We could develop mouse models of these genetic polymorphisms, for example, to observe in detail the role they play after a fracture,� Reid said.

Charter school contributes to Jared Box Project STATE COLLEGE — Centre Learning Community Charter School students received a lesson in goodwill when they recently participated in the Jared Box Project. A nonprofit organization located in Port Matilda, The Jared Box Project was founded after a 5-year-old boy named Jared lost his battle with cancer in 2000. He always brought a backpack filled with toys and coloring books to appointments at the doctor’s office and hospital visits. Jared would often ask his parents why the other kids didn’t have toys. After his passing, an organization was set up in his name to bring smiles to other chronically ill children. Clear plastic shoe boxes are filled with age appropriate toys, books, stickers and cards, and are delivered to local hospitals. More than 100,000 Jared Boxes have been made and delivered in 45 states since 2001. The organization is well known to CLC school staff and students, since some have had family members receive the boxes in the past. When a parent told CLC administrative assistant Melissa Stitzer that Mount Nittany Medical Center was out of Jared Boxes and asked if the school could help, Stitzer jumped into action by organizing an after-school project. The school sent students home with letters asking for donations of suggested items for different age groups.

“We let the parents and students decide on the age group they wanted to support,” said Stitzer. The response was overwhelming. After Stitzer and the students divided up the items, there were enough for 20 complete Jared Boxes. The entire school participated in the donation drive and many students helped fill the boxes. “I was happy to do it, and I had fun because I knew I’d be making kids happy,” said fifth-grader Amelia Hegstrom. “My brother got a Jared Box once. He was excited to get one when he was sick. I felt good making the boxes because they are a good cause and I don’t want kids in the hospital to be bored,” said another fifth-grader, Kendall McCarty. “We received Playdoh, books, MadLibs, Matchbox cars, craft kits, puzzles, coloring books and crayons, and for teen girls, lipgloss and nail polish. We also had fleece blankets, robots and Legos that would not fit into the boxes,” Stitzer said. Stitzer and three students, sixth-grader Anna Farris, fifth-grader Emily Hadfield and sixth-grader Evie Baxter, delivered the boxes to Mount Nittany Medical Center. “It felt good to know I was doing it for children who are sick and need to be cheered up. I would like to do it again. It feels good to give back to the community,” said Farris. “All of the students enjoyed working

Antonionos make leadership gift to liberal arts at PSU UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State alumnus James R. Antoniono has always demonstrated an entrepreneurial spirit throughout his education, his professions and his volunteer work, with successful results. Recently, he and his wife, Susan, of Greensburg, have made a leadership gift with an estate commitment of $1 million to support innovation and excellence among faculty and students in the College of the Liberal Arts. Their gift will endow an early career professorship, a graduate fellowship, a director’s fund in the Paterno Liberal Arts Undergraduate Fellows Program and a dean’s fund in the college. The couple also created a trustee scholarship in the college, specifically for a Westmoreland County student, and a fund in Intercollegiate Athletics.

“Jim and Susan’s gift provides vital resources to support the ambitious work of future students and faculty,” said Susan Welch, the Susan Welch Dean of the College of the Liberal Arts. “We are deeply grateful for their vision and generosity to the liberal arts community.” “My Penn State experience provided inspirational teachers and great educational opportunities,” Jim Antoniono said. “I truly believe it is important to give back to our society. The university has become a leader in many areas and we want to help the faculty and students anywhere we can.’’ James R. Antoniono arrived on the Penn State campus in 1968 at the age of 23 as a U.S. Army veteran and a non-traditional freshman. He became very active in student government and was elected as presi-

dent during a time of campus unrest. As a student leader, he engaged university administrators on a variety of issues including campus safety. Later, he was invited to the White House, along with student leaders from other universities, to meet Henry Kissinger, foreign policy adviser to President Richard Nixon. After graduating from Penn State in 1971, he earned a master’s degree in political science from Rutgers University and a law degree in 1979 from Duquesne University. He started his own law firm, with a focus on personal injury and estate planning. Over the years, he also founded several businesses and has been actively involved in political and community organizations. At Penn State, he serves as an alumni mentor to liberal arts students and he sits on the board of directors of the Lib-

OLLI members attend class at CPI PLEASANT GAP — Osher Lifelong Learning Institute members recently attended classes at Central Pennsylvania Institute of Science and Technology. The group was provided with an overview and tour of CPI led by Todd Taylor, director of adult and post-secondary education; MaryAnn Volders, director of secondary education; Marianne Hazel, adult and post-secondary education manager; and Bill Luther, business and industry liaison. “OLLI is a great organization,” Luther said. “We hope that they had as good of a day as we did. They had a lot of energy and really wanted to know more about what we do at CPI.” After visiting the technical educational and training programs, OLLI members chose two sessions to attend and had the opportunity to have an impression of their teeth made in the dental assisting program. The visitors also had their health vitals checked in the medical assistant program. The group finished its morning with lunch that was made by the culinary program.

BEA schools to hold Veterans Day programs WINGATE — On Tuesday, Nov. 11, Bald Eagle Area will be holding Veterans Day programs, including a free lunch, for local veterans living within the Bald Eagle Area School District. A special program will be held at each BEA school, followed by the luncheons. Programs at Howard, Mountaintop and Port Matilda elementary schools will begin at 10:30 a.m. Wingate Elementary and the BEA Middle/High School will have a combined program at the high school main gymnasium, which will begin at 10 a.m. Veterans should call their local BEA school before Thursday, Oct. 30, to register for lunch.

eral Arts Alumni Society. To create the new gift, the Antonionos worked with development and gift planning officers at Penn State to establish charitable remainder trusts. Alumni and friends can set up such a trust during their lifetime or through their estate, and transfer assets such as securities, real estate or business interests into the trust. Penn State invests the assets for a certain term, providing the donors or designated family members with an annual income for years. At the end of the term, the remaining assets will go toward endowing the liberal arts programs. Penn State’s third and most ambitious university-wide fundraising campaign, For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students, concluded on June 30 with a total of $2.188 billion.

SPRING TOWNSHIP police officer Chris Snare recently visited Pleasant Gap Elementary School to show students how fingerprints are used in solving crimes.

Police officer visits Pleasant Gap Elementary PLEASANT GAP — Spring Township police officer Chris Snare, a school resource officer in the Bellefonte Area School District, needed some help to find out who stole the cookies from his cookie jar during a recent visit to Pleasant Gap Elementary. He discovered that the third-grade students in Paula Hendershot and Jena Jodon’s class learned about the different types of fingerprints — whorl, arch and loop. So, he decided to call on them for some help. The students listened to Snare as he explained his dilemma, and then watched as he carefully showed students how to lift fingerprints at a crime scene. Snare also created a simulated crime scene in the school’s cafeteria that included “Do Not Cross” tape, showing the students what a “real” crime scene may look like. In the “great cookie robbery”, there were five suspects: school nurse Amy Allison, principal Tammie Burnaford, ESL teacher Elizabeth Whitehead, Hendershot and Jodon. Fingerprints from all five suspects were gathered. Students examined them closely to compare the suspects’ fingerprints to the prints lifted from the cookie jar. Their task was to determine who was guilty based on what they had learned about the three types of fingerprints. All students were able to successfully determine who the guilty person was — Mrs. Hendershot.

Punkin’ Chunkin’ event draws crowds By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

HOWARD — The fourth annual Punkin’ Chunkin’ Fall Festival, sponsored by the Howard Volunteer Fire Company, was held on Oct. 18 at Bald Eagle State Park. The event is a fundraiser for the firefighters and has attracted an ever-growing numbers of spectators each year. A crowd estimated at 25,000 enjoyed 14 chunkers lobbing pumpkins as far as 1,800 feet into the lake, using catapult or trebuchet-type machines. The chunkers’ machines varied in type and power sources. Some were catapults using springs or gangs of rubber tubing or cord which was twisted to cock them. Others used falling weights for motive power, and one machine, from the Sky Busters team from Lewes, Del., was a huge compressed-air-powered gun that looked like it belonged on a battleship. Sky Busters members said they used just 35 pounds per square inch of air pressure at the Howard event, but the air tank is rated for up to 300 PSI. At 35 PSI, the pumpkins flew about 1,000 feet. Team Lamas, from Parkesburg, Chester County, brought an unusual design chunker to the event. In their machine, a pumpkin is placed in a sling wound around a 5-foot diameter drum. The drum is spun by a geared-down bicycle, then a rope is pulled, which opens a trap door in the drum, allowing the pumpkin to escape. The centrifugal force of the rotation flings the pumpkin high in the air. The Team Lamas machine holds the world record for human-powered centrifugal chunkers with a throw of more than 1,776 feet, set at the national championship competition held in Bridgeville, Del., last November. Jeff Schaum said his team built the machine five years ago, and has refined the design each year since then. The 2014 Delaware competition was cancelled because of logistics problems due to moving the site.

“It’s unfortunate. We made changes in the machine this year, hoping to get more distance,” said Shaum. “Each year we want to set another record.” Next to Team Lamas was the Chunksters team from West Grove, Chester County. The Chunksters’ bright orange machine was built on a boat trailer and uses a bank of industrial-size garage door springs for power. The machine is also cocked by pedal power, using a geareddown exercise bike. Team members designed and built the machine themselves. “This is real backyard engineering,” said Chunksters member Eric Hartline. He said they considered adding springs for more power, but Punkin’ Chunkin’ rules allow just two minutes to cock the human-powered machines, and stronger springs might take too long to fully cock. The Chunksters’ longest throw to date was 1,530 feet. On the opposite end of the line of chunkers was the Onager, the creation of Team Carbo, headed by Bob Carbo of Raleigh, N.C. Carbo designed and built the Onager over a period of about three years, refining the design as he went. The Onager uses 500 feet of thick braided polyester rope looped inside a heavy steel tube. The long arm of the device is inserted through the center of the loops of rope, and the machine is cocked by a hydraulic motor which rotates the arm through a 140-degree angle to cock it. When fired, the Onager will accelerate a pumpkin to 150 MPH in a fraction of a second. Sometimes the sheer force of the acceleration disintegrates the pumpkin before it leaves the machine. This is called “pie-ing” by the chunkers. Next to the Onager was the machine which gave rise to the Howard Punkin’ Chunkin’ event. Built by Josh Collins, a Howard Fire Company member, the machine is called “Stand Back and Watch This.” It’s an all-wood, floating-arm trebuchet machine using falling concrete weights for flinging power. About 900 pounds of concrete weights, mounted on a

SAM STITZER/For the Gazette

TEAM LAMAS, from Parkesburg, Chester County, designed a machine that uses centrifugal force to fling pumpkins more than 1,700 feet. 300-pound steer bar are raised by an electric winch to arm the machine. “We bent that bar a couple times,” said Collins. The throwing arm is made of a laminated hardwood, mounted in a heavy steel socket for strength. Collins said that having the machine motivated the fire company to create the Punkin’ Chunkin’ event. Along with the chunkers, this event featured live music and several rows of craft and food vendors. Vendor coordinator Lydia Kotzur-Watters said there were 114 vendor spaces reserved, and about 90 vendors, including 30 food vendors, were present. Among the many vendors was Bob Gossman, from nearby Beech Creek, sell-

ing miniature wooden catapults that he makes. These were a popular item for the children at the event. The catapults use a small rubber band for energy, and will throw tiny candy pumpkins, cheese balls and miniature marshmallows about 10 feet. “I sell out every year,” said Gossman. Fire company member Amy Roberts was grateful to the event’s sponsors and a band of volunteers from Lock Haven University who handled traffic control and parking for the event. She said the fire company has acquired a brush truck from the Graymont Company, and that some of the funds raised at the Punkin’ Chunkin’ event will be used to restore and modify the truck for fighting brush and forest fires.

THE PENNS VALLEY BAND performs its show, “Shades of Latin,” at the Centre/Clearfield County Marching Band Festival in Bellefonte.

Bellefonte High School hosts band festival By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — The Bellefonte Area High School Fine Arts Department hosted the 2014 Centre/Clearfield County Marching Band Festival on Oct. 18. Nine marching bands from Bald Eagle Area, Penns Valley, Clearfield, Curwensville, Glendale, Moshannon Valley, West Branch, Philipsburg-Osceola and Bellefonte performed their 2014 halftime shows for a large crowd at Rogers Stadium. The band show’s location rotates between counties and schools each year, and serves as a fundraiser for the host band. Penns Valley band director Darris DeRemer was enthusiastic about the event. “It gives the kids a chance to see other bands and all their hard work,” he said. “At football games, everyone watches the team and the band is just a sidelight, but here the band is the focus of attention.” Bellefonte band majorette instructor Kim Weaver agreed with DeRemer’s as-

sessment. “It’s great that all these people are here just to see bands,” said Weaver. The program opened with the Bellefonte Middle School Band, directed by Brenna Bixler, playing the national anthem on the sideline. The Philipsburg-Osceola High School band performed first, with a rousing show titled “Band Rocks,” featuring classic rock ‘n’ roll numbers. The Moshannon Valley High School band followed, its members performing their show wearing raincoats in a heavy drizzle. The rain stopped as the show continued, with public address announcer John Zimmerman introducing each band in turn. The bands featured many types of music in their shows. An appreciative audience cheered each band’s performance. The Penns Valley High School band’s show, “Shades of Latin,” drew spontaneous applause twice. All the shows featured complicated marching movements, highlighted by batontwirling majorettes and flag carriers.

STATE COLLEGE — The U.S. Department of Agriculture has awarded the Boalsburg Farmers Market $28,171 to increase the sale of local agricultural products. The Farmers Market Promotion Program funds will be used to allow SNAP recipients to buy at the Boalsburg market, increase the number of cooking demonstrations, expand its school outreach programs, and raise public awareness of the market and the health benefits of fresh local food through increased advertising. These activities will serve as a test of ways to increase the consumption of local food in general. The local chapter of Buy Fresh Buy Local will submit a grant application next year drawing upon the results of the Boalsburg market’s experience to expand the program to include all of Centre County’s farmers markets. According to Boalsburg Farmers Market co-manager Tony Sapia, of Gemelli Bakers, the grant will help Centre County immensely. “We are proud to be a prototype program for all farmers markets in Centre County,” Sapia said. “We will be in a position to undertake a more ambitious program to help all of our farmers markets

thrive in the next few years.” Presently, no Centre County farmers market accepts SNAP benefits. The grant will establish a system for allowing SNAP recipients to use their food stamp benefits to purchase fresh local products. The cooking demonstrations that will be conducted will help all patrons of the market learn new ways to prepare the local vegetables, fruits, dairy products and meat available at the market. The grant also will enable the market to expand its school outreach programs. It has already participated in nine “Farmer Comes to School” presentations in area elementary schools, and will now be able to go to middle schools. It will also conduct food safety and food preparation in-school programs for older students and continue its support of school gardens at Grays Woods and Mount Nittany Elementary. The market is seeking a part-time grant administrator, SNAP benefits program coordinator and publicity director to implement the grant. Persons interested in the grant administrator position can contact the market’s community outreach director, Jim Eisenstein, at j3e@psu.edu.

Wellness forum benefits female students

STATE COLLEGE — The Jana Marie Foundation recently held a wellness forum, “It’s About Me ... and It’s About Time,” for female students in grades six through eight at Park Forest Middle School. The free program, which took place on Oct. 11 and was sponsored by AAUW, was designed to help young women across Centre County build personal strength and self-confidence while combating the stresses of today’s high pressure society. Drawing on the expertise of the Jana Marie Foundation’s board and special guests, the day’s program featured a range of topics from enhancing self-confidence to self-defense and from health and wellbeing to creative expression. The day began with energizing teambuilding exercises lead by Bob Ricketts of Penn State. Since the students represented State College Area, Bellefonte Area, Penns Valley Area and Bald Eagle Area school districts, it was important for them to work together and share with one another. Following the team building, participants engaged in a series of handson breakout sessions that explored selfawareness and personal expression through art, music and movement. Angie Wallace from BeWell Associates and Traci Edelman, SCASD health teacher, presented “Crafting Your Identity,” where students used crayon art to demonstrate that although life may not go as planned and the pathway to a goal may not always be a straight line, in the end something beautiful is created. Drummer Kathy Stillings presented “Rhythm of Life,” in which participants explored expression through drumming and

music. The session demonstrated how everyone can drum to a different beat, but together it makes an incredible, harmonious sound. Photographer Sadie Ermol presented “Art of a Selfie” so students could focus on body image, Internet safety and the rules of photography. In between breakout sessions, the students took a self-defense lesson from Cat Cook of Monarch Martial Arts. At the end of the session, the girls wrote a negative message that they were once told on a board and then broke through it, taking the power back into their own hands. Keynote speaker Amelia McGinnis, founder of McGinnis Counseling and Consulting in Lemont, ended the day with an uplifting and powerful message. “You are who you are supposed to be,” she said. Her focus on confidence and selfesteem sent the girls home with a message of confidence. The forum was deemed a success by participants, parents, speakers and volunteers. “There are so many stresses that young women are faced with today,” said Marisa Vicere Brown, president and founder of Jana Marie Foundation. “Jana Marie Foundation wanted to give these young women a chance to slow down and focus on themselves.” “The day was very meaningful,” said AAUW member Jordan Glover. “It was neat seeing the girls opening up and trying new things.” A wellness forum for high school students is planned for Saturday, March 28.

State College Area High School grad earns Girl Scout Gold Award BOALSBURG — Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania recently announced that Danielle Lazorcik, of Troop 41205, has earned the Girl Scout Gold Award. The recent State College Area High School graduate completed her Gold Award project, which she called “Project Raptors.” “Project Raptors” was developed and executed by Lazorcik and addressed the needs of the birds of prey DANIELLE exhibit at Shaver’s Creek EnvironLAZORCIK mental Center. She updated the area with new signs that provide information visitors will find to be appealing and interactive. She also interviewed visitors to find out what they wanted to know about the 12 species of birds at the center. “Throughout the course of (the) project, I gained more confidence as a leader,” Lazorcik said. “I learned how to coordinate a large project with many phases while managing a variety of large and small groups. I feel empowered to educate people about our impact on the environment.” The Girl Scout Gold Award challenges Girl Scouts in grades nine to 12 to change the world, no matter how big or small their impact might be. “Through the Gold Award, girls get passionate about a cause, collaborate with fellow community members, and take on a challenge,” said Jane Ransom, GSHPA CEO. Lazorcik and other Gold Award recipients from across central and northeastern Pennsylvania will be honored at a special Gold Award luncheon next summer.

Gluten-Free Expo set for Nov. 9 STATE COLLEGE — The second annual Central Pennsylvania Gluten-Free Expo will take place from noon to 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 9, at the Penn Stater Conference Center and Hotel, 215 Innovation Blvd. in State College. The event will include more than 40 local and national exhibitors, educational presentations, door prizes and samples. A tote bag with offers and gluten-free samples will be given to the first 500 adult guests. Advance tickets are $5 and are on sale now at various area locations. Tickets will also be available at the door for $10. Children 16 and younger are free. More than 1,100 people attended last year’s event, according to expo organizer Matthew Bolich. “One parent came up to us at the expo with tears in her eyes and stated she was so grateful to have an event where her child could sample everything, since all products were gluten-free,” Bolich said. Market website Specialtyfoods.com predicts that the gluten-free market will grow 48 percent from 2013 to 2016, to reach sales of $15.6 billion in 2016. This is due in part to an increased awareness of celiac disease and gluten sensitivities. Keynote speaker Dr. Alessio Fasano is a world-renowned pediatric gastroenterologist, research scientist, entrepreneur and founder of the Center for Celiac Research. His visionary research led to the awareness of celiac disease as a growing public health problem in the United States. His prevalence study published in 2003 established the rate of celiac disease at 1 in 133 Americans.

SPECTACLE

MIDSEASON

Underdog PSU set to battle rival Ohio State By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Without question, these are not the circumstances under which Penn State fans wanted to welcome archrival Ohio State for a sold-out, nationally televised, white-out football spectacle at Beaver Stadium. Questions abound about Penn State. The Nittany Lions come into the game, set for Saturday, Oct. 25, at 8 p.m., on a two-game losing streak. They have question marks about their running game, their offensive line play and their offensive production in general — all with the coaches trying at the same time to address depth and inexperience problems. The one constant for Penn State has been the play of its defense. And even that, without help, will be up against it against Ohio State. That’s especially true in light of what the Buckeyes have been up to lately. Ohio State lost, in its second game of the season, to Virginia Tech. Yet that was only one loss, and coach Urban Meyer and his team still have their sights set on the national championship playoff, and to stay in consideration after a loss, they know they have to impress. And they have. The numbers from their last four games tell the tale: n Ohio State comes into Beaver Stadium having won 18 consecutive Big Ten regular season games. The record is 20, set by Ohio State teams in 2005-07. n Ohio State has scored at least 50 points in four consecutive games — wins over Kent State, Cincinnati, Maryland and Rutgers. n The Buckeyes have at least 500 yards of total offense in each of the last four games. n Ohio State is fourth in the NCAA in scoring at 46.5, outscoring its past four opponents 224-69. n Freshman quarterback J.T. Barrett has thrown 17 TD passes in the past four games with only one interception. Barrett leads the Big Ten and ranks 10th in NCAA in total offense (333.0), and has also been responsible for at least four touchdowns in each of the last four games. He accounted for five in the win against Rutgers. n Meyer has not lost a game in the month of October since the 2010 season. For the season to date, Ohio State averages just more than 528 yards per game, 259 of which come on the ground. Ezekiel Elliot is the leading rusher with 541 yards and four touchdowns, but Barrett is right behind with 499 yards and four TDs. Barrett has completed 107 passes for 1,615 yards and 20

DAESEAN HAMILTON and the rest of the Nittany Lion offense will have to put up plenty of points this weekend if Penn State has any hopes of upsetting only-oncebeaten Ohio State.

touchdowns, mostly to receivers Michael Thomas, Devin Smith and Dondre Wilson. Wilson leads the team in allpurpose yards with 704. On defense, the Buckeyes give up 20 points per game and just over 384 yards of offense, with just 137 of that on the ground. Ohio State also has 10 interceptions, four fumble recoveries and 13 sacks. It has scored 105 points off turnovers, as opposed to only 14 by opponents. So, it would seem as if Ohio State feels pretty good about itself at this point of the season? Not really, at least according to Meyer. “The good thing is that I don’t feel like there’s a complacent attitude,” he said after the Rutgers game. “Complacency is awful in this business and with the players, because when you watch the film, we could actually have played a lot better in certain situations. “Our defense, you credit that, you can take the first half and that’s a credit to our defense. They took a team that threw 400-plus yards against our rivals and really played well, creating turnovers once again and getting the ball to the offense rather quickly. “So, I think there’s a lot of things to work on offensively.” For Penn State, the biggest question of all might be which team will show up to the Ohio State game — Michigan first half, or Michigan second half? The Lions ran the ball effectively in the first 30 minutes in Ann Arbor, had the lead at halftime and were primed for a big victory. But Penn State didn’t score after halftime, and Michigan sprinted ahead for the win. Penn State had another bye week, its second of the month, and how much the Lions have improved during that time is another question to be answered. Depending on how you look at it, Ohio State may be exactly the right team — or exactly the wrong team — to find out the answers to all of these questions. Penn State has not fared well against Meyer. He’s 3-0 against Penn State, including a win while he was at the University of Florida. He’s 1-0 at Beaver Stadium — a 35-23 victory over Bill O’Brien’s Lions under the lights in 2012. Franklin has never coached against Meyer or Ohio State. He’s trying to snap a two-game skid and it will be a daunting task come Saturday night. If the Buckeyes knock off Penn State as the oddsmakers expect, it will be Franklin’s third loss. Meyer has just three losses in three seasons as the leader in Columbus. This begins a critical stretch for the Lions, who need two more wins to secure a bowl berth. In November, there are home games against Maryland (Nov. 1), Temple (Nov. 15) and Michigan State (Nov. 29).

Johnson excited for return By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — He was a fixture in Beaver Stadium for nearly two decades, but former Nittany Lion assistant coach Larry Johnson Sr. doesn’t know anything about the visiting locker room. “I heard it’s small,” Johnson said on a conference call with reporters. For Johnson, the return to the Beaver Stadium sidelines will be an odd feeling. This time he’ll be facing a team he coached for 18 years. He raised kids in State College he even coached his son, Larry Johnson Jr. But, for Ohio State’s newest assistant coach, it was all about moving on to the next phase in his life. Johnson would interview for the opening at Penn State after the end of the Joe Paterno era and after the departure of Bill O’Brien. In both cases he would be passed over for a different candidate. So, as interim head coach for

only nine days, Johnson decided that he would leave Penn State — even before Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer offered him a job. “I was gonna take a couple months off, relax, even a year,” he said. “Then an opportunity came before me that I thought was a great opportunity to continue coaching, and I kind of jumped at it. I wasn’t looking for it. It just presented itself in the right way and I said, ‘Wow, what a great opportunity.’ I was out of work about two weeks — less than that, probably — and I had a job.” While the Penn State faithful may not be thrilled about where he ended up, Saturday night will be a special one for both fans and Johnson. A lot of great players and games took place on that field during the years Johnson prowled the sidelines. Now he’s trying to put together another great game, only this time while wearing the scarlet and grey. The Buckeyes are doing their best to make a case for a spot in the NCAA Division I playoffs.

Franklin navigates policy and expectations By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — James Franklin is in a tough spot. He doesn’t have the luxury of telling you what everyone already knows — that Penn State’s offensive line isn’t good and the Nittany Lions are largely over-matched each week. He can’t stand up in front of reporters and fans and tell them that their suggestions — intended to solve an unsolvable problem — aren’t actually going to help. He just has to do his job and let the storm pass. “I’ve read less the last two weeks, I’ll admit that,” Franklin said with a smile after practice on Wednesday. Franklin, a self-professed reader of all things Penn State, cutting back on his literary intake after two losses? If you had to write a list of the core aspects of Franklin’s tenure at Penn State, information control would have to be near the top. Nothing leaves the program without his knowledge, and what information that does exit the Lasch Building does so with a purpose. Even simple things, such as having scholarship information confirmed, is a conversation that is frequently days in the making. There’s nothing wrong with that, but Franklin does run a tight ship when it comes to managing his program’s message and perception. But with that control comes an internal battle. Franklin, who normally doesn’t discuss injuries and personnel-related items, has perhaps his biggest “out” for his team’s recent struggles. Players are banged up, starters are banged up, and there aren’t

options down the line to replace them. The offensive line would struggle at 100 percent, let alone with bumps and bruises across the board. So does he tip his hand, or does he stay true to what he believes is in the best interest of the team? The answer, in short, is that Franklin is still trying to figure that out. “I’m just like the players. I’m just like all of you. I’m growing and I’m trying to find the best ways to do things,” Franklin said. “My first perspective is always on coaching and the players and what I know other coaches do to gain advantages, so that’s No. 1. What I’d like to do is get to a point where our fans are so supportive of our players and our coaches and our program that they give them the benefit of the doubt.” All of this comes back to an October that could be nothing but losses and bye weeks for a football team that started the season by going 4-0. That opening record of success may have had fans feeling a little more optimistic than was realistic. Franklin may have seen the problems coming long before the fans did, but “Hey, we might not be very good” doesn’t make for a very good slogan. “That’s one of the biggest challenges that I’ve had since we arrived here,” Franklin said. “How do we get the fans and everybody engaged and back in the stadium and selling 107,000 (tickets) without setting up false expectations? And when you have a fan base like us — ‘fan’ is short for fanatical — they’re passionate about Penn State, which I love. When things are going well, there’s nothing better than that. When you hit a rough spot, that can make it challenging.

SIX GAMES into the season, Penn State head coach James Franklin has learned a great deal about his football team, the media and fan expectations. “You don’t want to be talking about all these things before the season starts because you’re tying to get people excited,” he said. “And then you don’t want to be talking about these things after a loss because people think you’re making excuses.” The moral of the story really is that Franklin wants fans to trust him and his staff. He isn’t keeping information from them for the sake of being secretive — he just believes that it’s in the team’s best interest. Does it really make a difference? It doesn’t matter, because it’s Franklin’s call and he has made it. Maybe it creates issues, like fans and

media coming up with reasons why Geno Lewis didn’t play much against Michigan, but like many things, the most simple answer is often the correct one. “I don’t know what the right answer is and what the balance is, but I know as coaches we’re trying to constantly gain information and we don’t necessarily like to give it out,” said Franklin. “It can also cause some issues because maybe a guy doesn’t play much one week and people come up with all kinds of theories of why he didn’t play that much that and it may be because of a sprained ankle. “But you know,” Franklin said, smiling, “we don’t talk about these things.”

Homecoming spoiled

Central takes command early, rolls past Bellefonte By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — Maybe it was a letdown. Maybe it was the distractions that come along with homecoming. Maybe it was, quite simply, not their night. Whatever it was, it doomed the Red Raiders on Oct. 17. Bellefonte struggled early and Central took advantage, racing out to a 27-0 first-quarter lead. The Red Dragons didn’t let off the gas until late and by the time it was all said and done, Bellefonte found itself on the wrong side of a 41-7 defeat at Rogers Stadium on homecoming. The loss dropped Bellefonte to 2-6 and put its playoff hopes on life support. It was disheartening for Bellefonte head coach Shanon Manning. “They jumped on us and we didn’t respond,” Manning said. “You can survive when someone jumps on you, but you have to be able to respond. I don’t know. We were flat tonight. We didn’t look like ourselves. We didn’t execute like ourselves and we had a good week of practice. I’m not sure.” Central (6-2) struck quickly in this one. Just 24 seconds into the tilt, Central quarterback Justin Helsel hooked up with wideout Noah Benton and it was off to the races for a 45-yard touchdown. The PAT was good and just like that it was 7-0. Later in the first quarter, Mike Mock caught a 52-yard touchdown pass from Benton to make it 14-0. Mock then added another touchdown, scoring from 4 yards out to push Central’s lead to 20-0. Benton would later hook up with Damon Langer from 20 yards away to make it 27-0 at the end of the first quarter. While Central was slicing and dicing the Bellefonte defense, Manning pointed out that missed tackles and blown assignments also contributed to the deficit. “I think they are one of the better teams on our schedule, but I also thought we did a good job of making them look very good,” Manning said. “I am not taking anything away from them because coach (Dave) Baker always does a good job preparing his team and they are a good football program every year. But I saw us play against a Clearfield

Missed extra point costs Little Lions a win By MATT ALLIBONE

BELLEFONTE’S CHASE GARDNER (8) can’t escape the grasp of Central defender Cody Hallett during the Oct. 17 game at Rogers Stadium. The Red Raiders fell to the Scarlet Dragons, 41-7. team that I thought was a very good team and that game could have easily been tied in the fourth quarter. (Central) made some outstanding plays, but the bottom line is that we didn’t help our own cause. Tonight, they were definitely a better football team than we were.” Central would tack on a pair of scores to make it 41-0 and start the clock rolling as the mercy rule went into effect. Bellefonte would spoil the shutout on a late TD run from 3 yards out by Gaven Daneker. Matt Feldman converted the extra point and it was 41-7. However, that would be the lone score for the Red Raiders on homecoming. Manning was pleased to the see the backups make the most of their time in the game. “Those young kids came in and executed pretty well. I knew (Central) had a lot of young, talented kids so I saw it as an opportunity for our young kids to get reps. With us

not playing a JV game Monday, that was a good chance for those kids to get some good reps in a game situation.” Bellefonte has its work cut out if it wants to get to the postseason. The Red Raiders will have to upset a oncebeaten Chestnut Ridge squad on Friday, Oct. 24, and then take care of business against Bald Eagle Area in the season finale on Halloween night. It won’t be easy, but Manning isn’t giving up hope. “Our goal was to win all three county games, finish above .500 in the last part of the season, and qualify for the playoffs,” Manning said. “If we win our final two games, we will more than likely qualify for the playoffs. Chestnut Ridge is sitting there at 7-1 and that would be a boatload of points and then we have Bald Eagle coming here so that is where it is at. We backed ourselves into a bit of a corner, but the good thing is that we have 12 days to figure things out. The beautiful part of football is that you always have next week.”

HARRISBURG — It took the simplest of plays to derail the State College High football team on Oct. 17. Taking on Central Dauphin East on the road, the Little Lions played tough and matched the Panthers’ scoring output with two touchdowns. What set the teams apart, however, was what happened after the touchdowns. While the Panthers easily converted both of their extra points, Lions kicker Kevin Cramer missed an attempt following a second-quarter touchdown. That proved to be the difference in a disappointing 14-12 loss that dropped State College to 3-5 on the season. “There’s a lot of plays, and a lot more than just that one, that cost us that game,” State College head coach Matt Lintal said. “When something like that happens, we’ve got to find a way to overcome it. We talk a lot about winning these close games, but we haven’t mastered it yet.” It was the Little Lions’ third straight loss, but what made this one frustrating was that they managed to play with the top team in the Mid-Penn Conference for four quarters, yet walked away with nothing to show for it. The Panthers entered the contest 6-1 on the season, coming off of a 42-19 win over Chambersburg, yet mustered just 14 points and one offensive touchdown against the Lions. “I think they’re the best team in the conference we’ve seen thus far,” Lintal said. “We’ve got a young defense out there with a lot of juniors and sophomores that are making some big plays. I’m proud of our defense. Our kids play hard and they don’t quit.” For nearly the entire first half, both defenses dominated the game as neither offense was able to develop a rhythm, leaving the game scoreless midway through the second quarter. Fittingly, it was a defender who put the game’s first points on the scoreboard. Central Dauphin East defensive back Lamar Doss picked off a John Weakland pass with 4:40 remaining in the half and returned it 21 yards for a 7-0 Panthers lead. It looked like the Panthers might be about to break the game open, but Weakland immediately bounced back, Little Lions, Page 22

Wagner dominates as Huntingdon decks P-O By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

PHILIPSBURG — The key to playing the Huntingdon football team lies with do-everything running back Jon Wagner. Slow him down, the Bearcats are vulnerable. If not, your team is going to have a long night. On Oct. 17, the Philipsburg Mounties had a chance to make a statement to Wagner on the very first play from scrimmage. After the opening kickoff, Wagner took a pitch from quarterback Hunter Speck and almost fumbled it behind the line of scrimmage. P-O defenders were all around, looking for a turnover or at least a big loss, but Wagner somehow righted himself and then took off around left end for a 56-yard touchdown to give Huntingdon a 7-0 lead after just eight seconds of play. It was the first missed opportunity for P-O and the beginning of a long night. Wagner scored again five minutes later, and the Bearcats scored touchdowns on all of their first five possessions on the way to a 42-13 Mountain League victory.

Wagner ran the ball only eight times — he left the game after halftime — but he still amassed 148 yards on the ground and Huntingdon’s first two touchdowns. “We put him (Wagner) in the ‘I’ (formation) this week to get him on both sides of the formation,” Huntingdon coach Mike Hudy said. “These things are all about matchups and the line of scrimmage. We matched up better and we can execute. That was our plan, a fast start, and we were going to take the ball if we won the toss.” Huntingdon lost the toss, but Wagner made up for it. After his two scores, Huntingdon drove two more times for touchdowns — both on short runs by Jacob Oliver — to take a 28-0 lead in the second quarter. But the P-O offense, after losing the ball on a fumble, a blocked field goal, and on downs in its first three possessions, began to get it together midway through the second quarter. Led by dual-threat quarterback Jake Anderson, who ran the ball for 91 yards and completed 10 passes for another 120, the Mounties drove 50 yards on eight plays for their first score of the night — a 17-yard Anderson run. That put the score at 28-7 with just three minutes until halftime, and with the second-half kickoff going to P-O, the Mounties had a chance to get back into the game. But Speck immediately took the momentum again for Huntingdon. He led a 72-yard touchdown drive in those final minutes that put the Bearcats ahead, 35-7. The 20yard scoring pass to Logan Fisher essentially put the game out of reach. “Those little things we didn’t do add up,” Philipsburg coach Mike Soyster said. “It’s part of football. If you do the little things, you have success. If you don’t, you don’t.” The teams played an even second half. Huntingdon scored late in the third quarter on a 6-yard run by Noah Glenny, but Anderson and P-O responded with a 12-play, 73-yard drive in the fourth quarter to bring the final score to 42-13. Anderson topped P-O in rushing with 19 attempts, 91 yards, and both Mountie touchdowns. Kyle Hawkins ran eight times for 25 yards, and he caught one pass for 40 yards. Levi Hughes, Derek Moore and Ryan Kost combined for nine catches and 79 yards for the night. “Right now, we are a team that does not take care of the little things,” Soyster said, “and to build a football program, you have to clean those things up. “It is incredibly encouraging to see how hard they (the

Area teams head into final weeks of season By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

sports@centrecountygazette.com

The curtain is about to come down on the high school football season. As teams enter Week 9, most are on the outside looking in at the postseason. It’s time for one final push. A closer look at this week’s games:

STATE COLLEGE (3-5) AT CUMBERLAND VALLEY (6-2)

It’s crunch time for State College. The Little Lions are sitting at 3-5 for the season. State High has to win its final two games to avoid a losing regular season. Before the Little Lions can even think about their final record and beyond, however, there is a little matter of the Cumberland Valley Eagles to take care of. And Cumberland Valley, of all the tough

Mid-Penn Conference teams State College has met this season, might just be the best of the lot. The Eagles are 6-2 this season, but don’t let the two losses fool you. They came at the hands of Bishop McDevitt, 6-3 (that’s right, 6-3, no touchdowns) and to Central Dauphin East, inexplicably 28-0, on Sept. 26. Since the East game, Cumberland Valley has taken out Carlisle, 28-14, Mifflin County, 35-13, and Central Dauphin, 7-0. It doesn’t take much to notice that the Eagles have been winning with their defense. East was the only team to score more than 17 points against them, and three teams didn’t make it to seven. Central Dauphin, which came into the Cumberland Valley game unbeaten in the conference, didn’t score a point, had fewer than 200 yards of offense, only 10 first downs and ran just 31 plays in the game.

Central Dauphin had only two plays that gained more than 10 yards. The Eagles rely mostly on their running game on offense gaining 163 yards per game, while they put up just 49 yards in passing. Senior quarterback Jake Hunt has completed 25 of 58 passes for 351 yards and a touchdown, but the heavy lifting has been done by running back Tim Spinelli. The 6-foot-1, 220-pound senior has run 165 times for 733 yards and three touchdowns.

And that’s just half the damage he does as he leads Cumberland Valley in tackles and interceptions from his inside linebacker position on defense. It’s fair to say that this all adds up to another very difficult night for the Little Lions. But State High has been right there with all of the conference teams it has met. Is 14-12 loss to CD East was the result of two mistakes — a missed extra point and a pick-6 for an East touchdown. Final weeks, Page 23

Current Initial Variable Rate would be...

*The TimeLine Home Equity Line of Credit is a variable rate line of credit with a fixed rate option. This loan has a introductory APR and payment for the first year then adjusts based on the highest prime rate listed in the Money section of the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) plus a margin determined at the time you apply for the loan. To open the advertised product and receive the advertised introductory 1.99% APR (annual percentage rate) requires a line of credit of at least $10,000 and a maximum of $250,000. **After the first year, your variable rate can change daily. The current variable rate would be 4.00% APR for a loan amount between $10,000-$49,999.99 and a credit score between 720-779. The maximum APR is 16%. This loan has a maximum term of ten years during which you can draw and repay the available credit limit. Any balance remaining at the end of that time that has not been paid must be repaid over a 15 year term. Fees to open this loan generally range between $0 and $1,000 depending on appraisal requirements and property location. You will be required to maintain property insurance on the collateral. You may also be required to maintain flood insurance on the collateral, if necessary, because of the location.

During the 10 year draw period of the TimeLine, this loan allows the APR on all or portions of your outstanding loan balance (a “Unit”) to be locked. You may have up to a maximum of 3 Units at any one time. The maximum repayment term for a Unit is 15 years. The terms do not change until the Unit balance is paid in full. Fixed rate options are the fully indexed APR plus .50% for terms of 36 months; the fully indexed APR plus 1.00% for terms of 37-60 months; the fully indexed APR plus 1.50% for 61-96 months; the fully indexed APR plus 2.00% for 97120 months; and the fully indexed APR plus 2.50% for 121-180 months. Different margins are used to determine the fully indexed APR based on the applicant(s) credit score (s) and the loan amount when the TimeLine Home Equity Line of Credit is opened. There is a lock in fee of $50 each time you lock in a Unit. During the TimeLine Home Equity Line of Credit draw period, payments reducing the principal balance on any portion of the balance, including Units become available by increasing the credit available on your TimeLine Home Equity Line of Credit. You should consult a tax advisor for the tax deductibility of this loan. All TimeLine loans are subject to credit approval.

Little Lions, from page 19 tossing a 74-yard touchdown pass to Drew Flanagan on the Lions’ next drive. “Nothing fazes Johnny,” Lintal said. “Good or bad, it doesn’t matter. He’s just going to go out there and gather the team the best he can.” It was at that point, though, that Cramer would miss the kick, and what could have been a tie game went into halftime with State College instead trailing 7-6. In the second half, the Lions continued to keep it close. A series of penalties prevented the Panthers from extending their lead. That wouldn’t last forever, as quarterback Jahad Neibauer and running back Joe Lemelle led a drive that ended with a 7-yard toss from Neibauer to Gevante Elam to make it 14-6. Even then, the Lions continued to fight. Midway through the fourth quarter, Jordan Misher gave the Lions a spark with a 23-

yard punt return to the CD East 28. A few plays later, Weakland lofted a 5-yard scoring pass to Kellin Valentine to keep the Lions alive. Needing two points to tie instead of one, The Lions were forced to go for the 2-point conversion and Tyshaun Pollard intercepted Weakland to end any hopes of overtime and a victory for State College. With two games remaining, the best State College can do this season is a .500 record, far below what they were hoping for. “It’s tough finding the words after a game like this,” Lintal said. “All I said is, ‘Stay positive and keep fighting, because there is no other option.’ We’ve got to do everything we can do to keep trying to move the football forward and keep them out of the end zone and win football games.” The Little Lions are back on the road on Friday, Oct. 24, taking on Cumberland Valley at 7 p.m.

October 23-29, 2014

The Centre County Gazette

Final weeks, from page 21 State College will be right there again against the Eagles, and the game looks like it will come down — again — to which team makes the fewest mistakes. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

BEA (2-6) AT JERSEY SHORE (8-0)

Jersey Shore comes into this game undefeated and virtually unchallenged. The Bulldogs have had just two games that have been settled by fewer than seven points — both six-point wins — and have pretty much blown everybody else out. Bellefonte hung with them into the second half in week one, but Jersey Shore pulled away for a 31-7 win. On Oct. 17, the Bulldogs had to hold on through a second-half rally by Selinsgrove to preserve their closest win of the year, 16-10. Jersey Shore gains 365 yards per game, 125 through the air, and only one team this season has held it to less than 240 yards rushing. Junior running back Levi Lorson is the player to watch out for in the Bulldog backfield. Lorson has run 208 times for 1,130 yards and nine touchdowns. He also returns kickoffs and punts and is a leader of the JS defense at linebacker. For up-and-down Bald Eagle Area, this will have to be an up week. The Eagles swamped Huntingdon two games ago, but regressed some in their last game against Clearfield, a 49-14 loss. It will be the same old refrain for BEA this week — take care of the ball and limit mistakes — but they are things the team has to do to stay with the Bulldogs. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

CHESTNUT RIDGE (7-1) AT BELLEFONTE (2-6)

Chestnut Ridge laid waiting on Oct. 17 for visiting Penns Valley and then pounced on the Rams and ran away with a 42-0 victory. The Lions scored in every quarter, put up 407 yards of offense (to 80 for Penns Valley), and essentially dominated the game from start to finish. Chestnut Ridge is 7-1 this season, with its only loss coming to Fort Hill in Week 2, and the Lions have had their way with Centre County teams. Beside Penns Valley, they also have (not close) victories over BEA, P-O and St. Joseph’s Academy. On Friday, Oct. 24, it’s Bellefonte, which is

playing only its third home game of the season. The mostly bleak travels of the Red Raiders in the past two seasons have been well documented, but the two wins this year have indicated that this is a much better Bellefonte team. How much better remains to be seen. On Oct. 17, the Raiders were overwhelmed by an exceptionally good Central team, and Central (forgive the comparative score) is one of the teams Chestnut Ridge has beaten. The Raiders have been plagued by big plays and turnovers in their losses this year, and they will have to stay away from a relapse of both in this game. Kickoff at Rogers Stadium is scheduled for 7 p.m.

TYRONE (7-1) AT PENNS VALLEY (2-6)

Penns Valley paid a rather rocky visit to 7-1 Chestnut Ridge on Oct. 17, and for week 9 the Rams are home against 7-1 Tyrone. The Golden Eagles are coming off of a 61-0 thrashing of AAAA Central Mountain and are again squarely in the mix for a Mountain League title and a high seed in the playoffs. So there will be no letting up against Penns Valley, especially with Clearfield and Central basically in the same position. Penns Valley will present problems if dualthreat quarterback Ben Alexander is able to return from a injury, but if not, the Rams will have to hope for some quick improvement from backup Andrew Tobias and the Ram offense. Kickoff in Spring Mills is scheduled for 7 p.m.

PHILIPSBURG-OSCEOLA (0-8) AT CLEARFIELD (6-2)

This is an ages-old, local rivalry game that has a history of classic games with huge repercussions. The two teams now, though, are in vastly different places. Clearfield, 6-2 overall and 6-1 in the Mountain League, is fighting for another championship and another favorable seed in the playoffs. Philipsburg-Osceola is embarking on a long rebuilding process that has yet to show any dividends. The Mounties are winless in eight games, and although they have solid offensive tools in quarterback Jake Anderson, receiver Tanner Lamb, and running backs Ty Laird and Kyle Hawkins, the Mounties are susceptible to the big play. And teams have taken advantage of that. Kickoff at the Bison Sports Complex is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Penn State falls to Alaska-Anchorage, 4-3 By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

Penn State almost picked up a big victory, but two quick goals in the third period by the University of Alaska-Anchorage stole the game and a 4-3 final. Junior goaltender Matthew Skoff was named to the All-Tournament Team. Connor Varley had a goal and an assist to pace the Lion offense in what was otherwise a solid outing for the Nittany Lions in a losing effort. Up 3-2 with six minutes left in the game, the Nittany Lions turned the puck over, allowing UAA to rush in unimpeded and beat Skoff to his stick side to tie the score at 3 apiece with 5:57 to go. Just 27 seconds later, a two-on-one allowed Vieth free passage to the net and to score the game winner. Penn State had another strong start, but it was Alaska that scored first. Tyler Morley’s left-winged shot was saved, but the rebound was pounded in just slightly more than five minutes into the game. Penn State would respond quickly, though, as Eric Scheid knocked in a rebound of his own only 33 seconds

later. The second period, much like the first, saw an Alaska goal in the fifth minute as Nolan Huysmans put home a shot in the slot assisted by Morley and Garrick Perry. The goal came with 15:43 left in the frame. The Nittany Lions waited 68 seconds to answer. This time, Varley’s bomb from the right point found its way through a sea of skaters to tie the score at 2 each with 14:35 left. Just 7:41 into the second, a major penalty on a hit of Casey Bailey gave the Nittany Lions five minutes of a man-up. It wasn’t until the sixth shot on net that the Nittany Lions capitalized as Max Gardiner went top shelf for his first goal since last February. PSU had a 15-11 edge in shots in the second and an 18-10 margin in the third. Nevertheless, it was Alaska that would pull ahead on the two goals by Vieth. Penn State out-shot the Nanooks, 43-33, tallying the most shots against Alaska all season (21 allowed vs. Maine). Penn State returns to the ice on Friday, Oct. 24, when it hosts Holy Cross at Pegula Ice Arena for a 7 p.m. matchup. The two-game series concludes at noon on Sunday, Oct. 26.

Arts & Entertainment Moscow State Symphony to perform classics UNIVERSITY PARK — The Moscow State Symphony Orchestra, led by conductor Pavel Kogan and featuring American cellist Joshua Roman, will perform music by Saint-Saëns, Brahms and Gounod at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 11, in Penn State’s Eisenhower Auditorium. Established by the Kremlin during World War II, Moscow State Symphony Orchestra is one of the five oldest concert orchestras in Russia. Under music director and chief conductor Kogan, the orchestra has broadened its repertoire to include not only Russian composers but also an array of European and American works. A San Francisco Chronicle critic described Roman, soloist for Saint-Saëns’ Cello Concerto No. 1 in A Minor, as “a cellist of extraordinary technical and musical gifts.” The Oklahoma City native is also a composer, curator and programmer. He’s recognized for his efforts as the artistic director of Seattle Town Hall’s Town Music series and as a next-generation innovator named a 2011 TED Fellow. The orchestra’s program also includes music from Gounod’s ballet “Faust” and Brahms’ Symphony No. 4 in E Minor. Tickets can be purchased online at www. cpa.psu.edu or by phone at (814) 863-0255 or (800) ARTS-TIX.

TAFELMUSIK BAROQUE ORCHESTRA, Canada’s award-winning period-instrument ensemble, will perform on Nov. 5 at Penn State’s Schwab Auditorium.

Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra to play at Schwab UNIVERSITY PARK — Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra, Canada’s award-winning period-instrument ensemble, performs 17th- and 18th-century music from memory before a backdrop of high-definition images from the Hubble and other telescopes at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 5, in Penn State’s Schwab Auditorium. The imaginative concert fuses art, science and culture in a commemoration of Galileo’s first public demonstration of the telescope. Conceived, scripted and programmed by Tafelmusik double bassist Alison MacKay, “The Galileo Project: Music of the Spheres” features poetic narration, choreography and music by Monteverdi, Vivaldi, Bach, Handel and others. “The program was one of the best I’ve seen in years — a celebration of reason and imagination, whether in art, science or the world of ideas,” wrote a reviewer for The Kansas City Star. Founded in 1979, Tafelmusik is renowned around the world for its exhilarating and soulful performances. Under the leadership of Jeanne Lamon, chief artistic adviser and former longtime music direc-

tor, the ensemble has excelled in performing music from the Baroque and classical eras. The orchestra has also gained acclaim for its adventurous cross-cultural reinventions of ancient music. In the words of a Gramophone critic, Tafelmusik is “one of the world’s top Baroque orchestras.” While in State College, Tafelmusik artists are scheduled to interact with Penn State students and community members at a series of free engagement activities. Tickets can be purchased online at www.cpa.psu.edu or by phone at (814) 863-0255 or (800) ARTS-TIX. Tickets are also available at four State College locations: Eisenhower Auditorium (weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), Penn State Downtown Theatre Center (weekdays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.), HUB-Robeson Center Information Desk (weekdays, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.) and Bryce Jordan Center (weekdays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.).

UNIVERSITY PARK — “Picturing Dogs, Seeing Ourselves,” an exhibition in the B. and H. Henisch Photo-History Collection Exhibition Room, 201A Pattee Library, is on display through Tuesday, March 31. The exhibition coincides with the publication of a new book by the Penn State Press, “Picturing Dogs, Seeing Ourselves: Vintage American Photographs,” by AnnJanine Morey. The book is the fourth volume in the series “Animalibus: Of Animals and Culture.” Books in the “Animalibus” series share a fascination with the status and the role of animals in human life. Crossing the humanities and the social sciences, the books ask what thinking about nonhuman animals can teach about human cultures, about what it means to be human, and about how that meaning might shift across times and places. Since photography’s invention in 1839, animals have been a popular subject. Early photography coincided with the beginning of the dog’s position as a household pet in Victorian society, and dogs were, for the first time, pampered and shown as members of the family in studio portrait art. But daguerreotypes, the earliest of the photographic processes, required subjects to remain motionless for several minutes, which meant that wagging tails often resembled fans when the plates registered the exposure. Later in the century, faster lenses solved this technical problem. By the 1850s, with the introduction of the small carte-de-visite image, it became a popular custom to have the likeness of the family pet (most often dogs) made along with other family members. Meant to look proper, and often posed on ornate chairs, every sort of friendly mutt appears. These charming studio poses were displayed with all of the other family portraits in albums made especially for preserving them.

“PICTURING DOGS, SEEING OURSELVES,” a photo-history collection, is featured in Pattee Library now through March 31. Near the end of the 19th century, amateurs also took up photography, and thousands of photos produced an intimate view of daily life, immortalizing family groups where dogs show up with regularity. The exhibition draws from 19th-century photographs representing many photographic processes found in the B. and H. Henisch Photo-History Collection and the William C. Darrah Collection of Cartes-devisite, 1860-1900, both among the holdings of The Eberly Family Special Collections Library.

Alum Vanaskie to discuss ‘Decade of Discovery’ UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State Law will present a screening of the documentary “The Decade of Discovery,” followed by a discussion on electronic discovery with Thomas I. Vanaskie, adjunct professor of law and federal judge for the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and Phillip Sechler, professor from practice. The event, which is free and open to the public, will be held from 2:30 to 4 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 14, in Sutliff Auditorium, Lewis Katz Building, University Park. It will be simulcast to Apfelbaum Auditorium and Courtroom, Lewis Katz Hall, Carlisle. “The Decade of Discovery” documents the story of a government attorney on a quest to find a better way to search White House email, a teacher who took a stand for civil justice on the electronic frontier, and the attendant revolution in the way law is practiced and the government operates. The film charts their 10-year journey and reveals the surprising truth they uncovered. Vanaskie, a 1978 graduate of The Dickinson School of Law, is a 2014 recipient of the Penn State Alumni Association’s Alumni Fellow Award, a permanent, lifelong designation. Established in 1973, the Alumni Fellows Program is designed to invite Alumni Fellows, prominent and outstanding leaders in their fields, to return to specific colleges of the university to lend

their expertise through informal contacts with students, faculty and administrators. Nominated to the 3rd Circuit Court by President Barack Obama in 2009 and confirmed by the U.S. Senate in 2010, Vanaskie previously served on the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, a seat for which he was nominated by President Bill Clinton. He held the seat from 1994 to 2010, serving as chief judge from 1999 to 2006. Vanaskie serves as chairman of the Information Technology Committee of the Judicial Conference of the United States, the policymaking body for the U.S. Courts, a position to which he was appointed by the late Chief Justice of the U.S. William H. Rehnquist. For the 3rd Circuit Judicial Council, Vanaskie presently chairs the Automation Committee and sits on the Library Committee. He is also a former member of the board of directors of the Federal Judges Association. In recognition of his impact on the judiciary and the legal community, Vanaskie has earned numerous awards and recognitions, including Honorary Master of the Bench of the Herbert B. Cohen Inn of Court in York and the Federal Bar Association Middle District of Pennsylvania Chapter’s Presidents Award. A 1975 magna cum laude graduate of Lycoming College, Vanaskie is a decorated scholar-athlete. In June 2013, he was

inducted into the Capital One Academic All-America Hall of Fame for football. Described as a “hard-nosed defender on the football field,” Vanaskie has also been inducted into the Shamokin Chapter of the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame and into Lycoming College’s Athletics Hall of Fame. He was a 1974 first team Academic All-American selection, a two-time Middle Atlantic Conference defensive back and earned honorable mention Associated Press All-American College Division hon-

ors as a senior. Upon his graduation from The Dickinson School of Law, Vanaskie served as law clerk to Chief Judge William J. Nealon of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. In 1980, he joined the Scranton office of Dilworth, Paxson, Kalish and Kaufmann. In 1992, Vanaskie became a principal member of the law firm of Elliott, Vanaskie and Riley, which maintained offices in Blue Bell, Scranton and Harrisburg, as well as in Washington.

Open to public. No cost to attend.

Students seek ways to make vehicles safer, greener UNIVERSITY PARK — Most people spend more time in their car each day than anywhere except work or home. Over the next 10 years, experts say, our vehicles will be transformed to improve the driving experience. But how will these new cars be safer, greener and more connected than their predecessors? Delphi Automotive, one of the world’s largest automotive parts manufacturers, wants Penn State engineering students to be part of that conversation. Students in this semester’s Introduction to Engineering Design class will work in teams to address Delphi’s challenge by coming up with potential ideas that might help auto manufacturers incorporate cutting-edge features without compromising a vehicle’s efficiency or affordability. Sven Bilén, professor of engineering design and head of the School of Engineering Design, Technology and Professional Programs, noted the timeliness of the project. “It seems almost every day in the press you read a story about self-driving cars, new safety systems like back-up cameras or better fuel mileage. Our students are being asked to consider what might be included in the cars of tomorrow.” Robert Seidler, engineering director at Delphi Electrical/Electronic Architecture, said the firm is pleased to sponsor the engineering design projects this semester and to work with Penn State engineering

At the end of the semester, students must provide a systems diagram, a concept of operations and a life cycle analysis for the devices they propose. Seidler noted, “We are excited to review the student proposals from the challenge, as we recognize Penn State’s engineering curriculum’s strength. In addition, this partnership provides Delphi an early screening of tomorrow’s future talent pool of engineers and interns while exposing various engineering disciplines and career opportunities within Delphi to them.” Projects will be on display at the College of Engineering Design Showcase on Thursday, Dec. 11, at the Bryce Jordan Center. Delphi operates 126 manufacturing facilities and 15 technical centers across 32 countries, utilizing a regional service model that enables it to serve its global customers.
