Fraser Centre construction begins By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — After years of delays, work on the long-awaited Fraser Centre has begun. When finished, the mixed-use building will be the tallest in State College at 155 feet. Preliminary construction at the site began Oct. 15, according to Gary Brandeis, president of Real Estate Capital Management. Infrastructure and foundation work is expected to be finished by next spring when construction on the main part of the building will begin. “We’re thrilled to have this opportunity,” Brandeis said. “It’s been a long time coming for the borough and community.” “The start of construction for this plan is exciting for downtown State College and the community,” said State College Borough manager Tom Fountaine. “This project brings more diversity in retail and commercial options in downtown and it provides even more reasons to come downtown. The project also provides additional residential diversity in the downtown.” The mixed-use building was originally proposed by Susquehanna Real Estate in 2007. Real Estate Capital Management bought the land and took over
the project in October 2013. For the past year, Brandeis said he and his team have been researching similar projects and working to secure proper approvals from the borough to build. “In the process of doing this project, we visited other college campuses,” he said. “A lot of the other schools that you would say are equivalent to Penn State in size and the type of campus they have, they have two or three Fraser Centres. I think that State College and Penn State, the student body and the folks that work on campus, are really going to benefit from this project.” The current building plan is for 13 stories and a total of 155 feet. Real Estate Capital Management already has a contract with Hyatt Hotels and Resorts for 158 rooms. The mixed-use space will also feature 26 condominiums and retail space. The brand new, modern building will be energy efficient and sleek, with a mostly glass exterior. “A property like this doesn’t exist in downtown State College,” Brandeis said. “It’s a game-changer.” While building student housing was not an option due to zoning restrictions, Brandeis said his company was incentivized by the borough to Construction, Page 5

Renaissance Honoree of the Y ear

Police are calling this an assault investigation and are asking witnesses to come forward with information. The incident happened on Oct. 26, just after 3 a.m. According to a news release from the State College Police Department, two men got into a fight in the middle of South Garner Street, near East Calder Way. Officers called to the scene found a man bleeding from his face. He was taken to the Mount Nittany Medical Center for treatment of what are described as facial fractures.

the victim and punched him in the face, knocking him unconscious. There’s no word on the injured man’s condition. The man involved in the initial fight ran away before police arrived. According to police, witnesses described the third man involved in the incident as white with a red beard and glasses. He was dressed in a dark blue shirt and blue jeans and was wearing a black baseball cap backward on his head, police said. He reportedly jumped into the passenger seat of a black Ford F-150 pickup truck that was parked in front of the Chipotle restaurant, a block away on Hiester Street. The truck was last seen heading west on East College Avenue. Anyone with information should call State College Police at (814) 234-7150.

PSU trustees votes against reopening Freeh Report By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — The Penn State board of trustees voted on Oct. 28 not to re-examine the controversial Freeh report, but the decision was far from unanimous or civil. The back-and-forth between trustees grew loud and heated, while several audience members were escorted out after interrupting the debate by screaming at the board. One woman, who identified herself as alumna and donor Denise Mclellan, called board chairman Keith Masser a “jackass� and proclaimed she was “proud to be kicked out.� Trustee Al Lord originally brought a resolution to the board in July, proposing to create a four-member subcommittee that would examine the Freeh report, meet with investigator Louis Freeh and report back to the board. This proposal came back again in September and again Tuesday morning, at which point it was ultimately defeated, 17-9. The alumni-elected trustees — including Lord, Anthony Lubrano, Alice Pope and William Oldsey — voted for Lord’s resolution. The remaining trustees — including representatives from various industries
and those appointed by the governor — made up the majority of the vote that defeated the resolution. The Freeh report was commissioned by Penn State after the Jerry Sandusky scandal broke in 2011. Completed by investigator Louis Freeh, the report criticizes Penn State’s leadership for having “repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky’s child abuse from the authorities, the Board of Trustees, Penn State community, and the public at large.� In the defeated resolution, Lord argued that “certain conclusions of the Freeh Report have damaged the reputations of Penn State, certain of its former officials, and its Board of Trustees.� Alumni-elected trustee Robert Jubelirer grew very passionate while attempting to convince the board to reopen the Freeh Report. “We have sat by and watched ourselves be belittled, be libeled,� Jubelirer said. “I have been asked ‘How come you guys didn’t know that Joe Paterno was a pedophile for all that time?’ It’s sick and disgusting that that’s how many people in the public at large view us.� He demanded for Freeh himself to appear before the board and explain himself and his report, prompting applause from the audience.
Commissioners hear about effort to provide aid to area veterans By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com
BELLEFONTE — An area organization dedicated to assisting Centre County veterans with financial needs has set out to raise more awareness and funds for its cause. The Veterans Assistance Fund has been providing area veterans and their widows with financial help since the spring of 2011, according to Potters Mills VFW member and fund treasurer Walter Mayes. Along with Centre County Veterans’ Affairs director Brian Querry, Mayes discussed the VAF with the Centre County board of commissioners on Oct. 28. “We would like to have more members to get a little better coverage in Centre County,� he said, adding that the organization’s governing committee is entirely made up of volunteers. Since October 2011, the VAF has helped about 60 veterans and given out approximately $55,000, Mayes said. Major issues plaguing area veterans include living on a fixed income and not having enough money for housing expenses, such as rent, fuel and utilities. Querry said that the VAF has been a “tremendous help� for when he has a veteran in need of services or funds. Since most area veterans go through him for assistance, he said it also gives him the opportunity to look into other things veterans might qualify for, such as better housing or health care. “We really look at this as not necessarily a one-time deal, but perhaps a bridge
to improving their quality of life,� Querry said. Due to having only volunteers, Mayes said administrative costs are low, at about 4 percent. Part of those administrative costs went toward establishing the organization as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Since that has been set up, administrative costs going forward will be about 1.5 to 2 percent, according to Mayes. To help raise money for the VAF, a 5K race will take place at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 2, at the Bellefonte Middle School. Those interested can sign-up on race day. All proceeds from the race will go toward to fund. The commissioners also approved a lease agreement between the county and New Cingular Wireless, a subsidiary of AT&T, which will allow the company to place equipment on the county’s 911 tower and in the shelter in Woodward. The agreement is for an initial period of five years in which New Cingular Wireless will pay the county a rental fee of $2,600 per month, according to Gene Lauri of the county’s Criminal Justice Planning Department. After that, the contract will renew for four additional five-year terms with a 10 percent rent increase each term. The contract has been in negotiations for about two years, Lauri said. The tower in Woodward was recently built when the county switched to a new 911 digital operating system and cost about $400,000, according to commissioner Steve Dershem. This will be the third contract the county has with other companies using this tower, Lauri said.
Agricultural-representative trustee Keith Eckel argued that reopening the Freeh report would only serve to dredge up the past and keep the trustees from addressing other issues. He urged the board to vote against the resolution to keep the university moving forward. The Penn State University Park Undergraduate Association has expressed similar concerns about moving forward as a university. The UPUA voted earlier this month to oppose an attempt to reinvestigate the Freeh report. Trustee member Richard Dandrea pointed out that many of the documents that would be needed for a full and thorough examination of the report are also related to several ongoing criminal cases and civil lawsuits that came out of the Sandusky scandal. Since the board lacks subpoena power, they would be unable to obtain these documents. Alumni-elected trustee William Oldsey responded that Freeh had many of the same problems in his investigation, leading to what he called an “incomplete� report. He asked why the board would accept the Freeh report as valid if the investigation was not thorough. “If you feel at all compromised by the various things going in the legal world, and you’re on this board and concerned that
you can’t do the right thing ‌ I would suggest to you that you resign,� Lubrano said. The board did pass a separate resolution proposed by trustee Kathleen Casey to actively monitor the various court proceedings that came out the Sandusky scandal. Lord questioned whether a resolution was necessary, since the board is already closely following these cases. Former Penn State administrators Graham Spanier, Gary Schultz and Tim Curley are awaiting criminal trials in Dauphin County court for allegedly covering up the Sandusky scandal. Former university president Spanier has also filed a lawsuit against Freeh for alleged defamation. Former Penn State assistant coaches Jay Paterno and William Kenney have sued the NCAA for alleged conspiracy and defamation. The NCAA used the Freeh report as the basis for the sanctions it imposed on Penn State in the wake of the Sandusky scandal, including a $60 million fine. The NCAA is also engaged in two different lawsuits with various Pennsylvania elected officials over where the $60 million fine against Penn State should be spent. Casey resolution to monitor these cases passed 17-8 in an almost perfect reversal of the vote that defeated Lord’s proposal. Alumni-elected trustee Adam Taliaferro abstained from this vote.

Bob Perks Fund hosts tailgate for a good cause By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com
BOALSBURG — The Penn State football team will be on the road for the Nov. 8 contest with Indiana. If you’re looking for a place to watch the game and to help a good cause, you’ve found it. When the game kicks off at noon in Bloomington, Ind., the ninth annual Bob Perks Fund Tailgate Party will be held at the Mountain View Country Club in Boalsburg. It’s the signature fundraising event for the nonprofit. “We always do this during a Penn State away game,” explained Bob Perks Cancer Assistance Fund executive director Norma Keller. “It’s just a great event. We’ll have lots of great food and drink and plenty of big screen TVs to watch the game.” The event will begin exactly one hour before kickoff at 11 a.m. During his life, Bob Perks’ goal was to bring cancer sup-

port to area communities. As a State College native, Penn State alum and founding member of Coaches vs. Cancer, Perks was devoted to helping cancer patients in Centre County and the surrounding areas. His devotion never faltered, even throughout his own battle with the deadly disease. Following Perks’ death in 2005, his wife, Doreen, established the Bob Perks Cancer Assistance Fund as a way to help fulfill her late husband’s wishes. The nonprofit provides financial support for basic necessities to local individuals and families dealing with a cancer diagnosis. To help raise funding for the organization, Doreen Perks said she wanted to hold an event that was unique and fun and reflected Bob and his passion for Penn State football. “It’s really the first event we ever did,” Perks said. “It’s really our signature event. It’s our biggest fundraising event. The way we came up with it was pretty simple — Bob was such a big Penn State football fan. It’s personal, it’s financial … for all those reasons, it’s truly our biggest day of the year.” The Bob Perks Cancer Assistance Fund aids families in Centre, Blair, Clearfield and Huntingdon counties. Tickets for the event are $85 in advance and $90 at the door. There will be plenty of upscale tailgating food, all supplied by the Ramada Inn. “It’s not your typical tailgate food,” Keller said. “I think the food is going to be absolutely amazing.” In addition to the food and drink, there’s also a Chinese auction and a silent auction. Last year’s event raised nearly $31,000. Keller hopes that this year’s numbers are even better. The more money raised, she said, the more families that are helped. “We would like to raise $40,000 … that’s the goal,”

PENN STATE FANS are invited to the Ninth annual Bob Perks Fund Tailgate, which is being held on Nov. 8 at Mountain View Country Club in Boalsburg. Keller said. “We are serving more and more referrals, and that’s really significant. Last year, we distributed $175,000 to cancer patients in four counties. This year, we anticipate that it will be $200,000.” Perks is excited for the event. She’s hoping big numbers across the board. “This is an open event,” she said. “If you like Penn State football, come up. We welcome everybody who wants to help a good cause and watch Penn State football. Don’t be afraid to show up, spend the day with us and support a really wonderful cause.” For more information about the Bob Perks Fund or to RSVP for the event, visit www.bobperkscancerassistance fund.org.

Tom Corbett is facing an uphill battle to win a second term, as Democratic challenger Tom Wolf has mounted an effective campaign. According to a recent Franklin and Marshall College poll, only 17 percent of voters believe Corbett is doing an “excellent” or “good” job. About 20 percent believe that he deserves to be reelected, while 62 percent say the state is “off on the wrong track.” The poll numbers suggest that Wolf has the edge. According to RealClearPolitics.com, Wolf has a sizable lead on Corbett. The RealClearPolitics average of the public polling in the race puts the Democrat’s advantage at 11 percentage points. Over the past several days, however, a pair of surveys show Corbett trailing by only single digits. We Accept Food Stamps, EBT, or SNAP Benefits

FIRST FRIDAY ATTENDEES listen to Cliff Turner and the Afterburners perform outside of The Tavern and Douglas Albert Gallery earlier this year. This month’s event will take place from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 7, throughout downtown State College.
First Friday celebrations draw community downtown By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — From entertainment to merchant specials, downtown State College’s monthly First Friday celebration has a little something to offer everyone. November’s event will take place from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 7. Festivities include art galleries and exhibitions, street entertainment, merchant discounts and extended hours. The downtown tree lighting to kick off the holiday season will take place from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Allen Street and College Avenue. First Friday was resurrected and re-launched in June at the request of downtown business owners, according to Downtown State College Improvement District executive director George Arnold. The monthly celebration has been well received, he said, and has created “a fun environment downtown.� “It helps bring the community together,� Arnold said. “People can come downtown, enjoy music, art (and more).� “First Friday provides a great opportunity to visit downtown and experience the many unique shops, as well as the entertainment and other interesting activity in downtown
State College,� said State College Borough manager Tom Fountaine. “(It) has proven to be very popular.� Douglas Albert, owner of Douglas Albert Gallery, said that First Friday is meant to encourage people to go downtown and visit businesses they’ve never been to. “It’s been pretty successful,� he said. During First Friday hours, Albert said he’ll offer specials that he can’t typically do on normal business days. “Some merchants offer light refreshments and go above and beyond what they normally do,� he said. In the future, Albert said he’d like to get more businesses in sync and on board for the event and attending the weekly planning meetings. “We want to encourage people to come downtown and show their support (for local businesses),� he said. Katie Dawes, owner of Kitchen Kaboodle, said that the event has been “picking up momentum� and foot traffic into her store has increased because of it. “We always love to see more locals downtown,� she said. “It’s a great time for people to get out and see what (stores) have to offer. And it’s a chance for businesses to open their doors.� For a complete list of entertainment and merchants participating in First Friday, visit www.firstfridaystatecollege.com.

Strano Taylor said that in the district many suffer from underemployment, not unemployment. “We have a lot of people working part-time jobs to try to make ends meet and yet we still have 115,000 people falling below the poverty line,� she said, adding that Pennsylvania ranks 50th in the nation in job creation. While discussing a possible federal minimum wage increase, Thompson said that Americans need a “practical solution� and that he supports an increase if it would truly life people to “greater opportunity.� Job training, he said, should be what people strive for in order to get better jobs and support their families. Strano Taylor said that the federal minimum wage should be increased because job training is not an option for everyone, like single mothers who can’t afford daycare at night to get training. Raising the minimum wage, she said, will act as an economic driver “because when people have money in their pockets, they spend it.� Thompson said that the Ebola crisis is “paramount,� and that anyone coming into the United States from West Africa as a point of origin should be held for 24 days for monitoring. Strano Taylor said she did not support a travel ban because doing so would promote people coming to the country through “porous borders,� which would leave them unaccounted for. The candidates, who are both Penn State alumni, also discussed higher education and student loan debt. Thompson said that he has worked to reform the student loan system and ensure that those taking out loans for higher education fully understand the decisions they’re making. Strano Taylor said that loans taken out today have refinance options, but older loans don’t have that opportunity, especially since most loan debt has already been bundled and traded on Wall Street. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 4.

Recycling, from page 1 According to Matyasovsky, the award not only recognized the diversity of items collected, but the fact that Penn State is partnering with industry. The award is significant because it shows how far Penn State has come in terms of recycling. Just 25 years ago, the university recycled less than a ton of its waste. On campus now, students, faculty, staff and visitors divert more than 100 types and almost 10,000 tons of waste from landfills. Those numbers are staggering, but they don’t tell the whole story. That’s just at University Park. Penn State’s branch campuses also contribute to the university’s recycling effort. The fact of the matter is that Penn State tries to recycle everything — from bottles and cans to newspapers and cardboard. In fact, Matyasovsky said there’s little that doesn’t get recycled. Take a stroll through campus. There are bins for everything, he said. “That is the case,” Matyasovsky said. “When we set the program up, we picked the things that were obvious, low-hanging fruit … aluminum cans, newspapers and such. We’ve gone from those very few things. Today, we recycle 105 things on campus.” According to Matyasovsky, that sounds a lot easier than it actually is. “We had to have a lot more bins and we had to find out about markets — where was this stuff going to go? By working with the Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority and with our partners in the industry, we’ve been able to find places for some of these hard-to-recycle things to go,” he explained. Some of the challenging items include used motor oil and broken and damaged furniture. Penn State has also found a use for the miscellaneous plastics — things like yogurt cups and plasticware. Of course, a big part of Penn State’s recycling effort takes place on football Saturdays at Beaver Stadium. Whether it’s aluminum cans outside the stadium or plastic bottles inside the stadium, game days are a huge part of the recycling process.
Just a couple of seasons ago, Penn State was placed in the top 10 for the efforts on football Saturdays. “We’re just communicating a desire to recycle and we’re getting support from the all the entities involved. We have athletics involved, the people in concessions, there are people in parking involved. We are visible inside the venue when you come to a football game,” Matyasovsky said. More than ever before, fans at the stadium can find blue recycling bins both inside and outside the stadium. The parking areas are filled with free blue plastic bags, which make it extremely convenient for those who tailgate to be part of the recycling effort. “It’s not about recycling, there’s a football game going on,” Matyasovsky said. “We want to make it easy and convenient. We had the blue bins for awhile, but we were getting litter. We made the bin go to the tailgate in the form of a bag.” The name of the program is mobius (with a lowercase “m”), which is named for the infamous (and infinite) Mobius loop. “It’s the name of our entire waste management program,” Matyasovsky said. “It’s special events, it’s composting, it’s recycling, it’s reuse … anything where we manage waste is under the umbrella of mobius. It’s extremely effective. We’re getting a very good response.” Penn State averages more than 5,000 recycling bags per game. The goal, of course, is to have the area surrounding Beaver Stadium looking pristine by Monday morning. “That is our intent. We have some very hard-working folks who do a great job on Sunday to get it all cleaned up,” Matyasovsky said. The blue bags are effective. According to Matyasovsky, when Penn State played Ohio State in a night game in 2012, it took five days for staff to gather recyclables and trash from Beaver Stadium parking lots. This year, it took just a day. There are many different layers to Penn State’s recycling effort. One of the biggest events of the year, of course, is the Trash to Treasure sale. Discarded items that Penn State students leave behind are gathered and sold to the public. There are plenty of bargains, of course.
DO I NEED WINTER TIRES ?
October 30-November 5, 2014
TIM WEIGHT/For the Gazette
THE MOBIUS PROGRAM at Penn State has helped in the recycling effort on game days at Beaver Stadium. Blue bags are used for recyclable materials while clear bags are used for non-recyclables. And while treasure hunters are helping themselves to the loot, they are also helping to keep unwanted items out of the landfill. Trash to Treasure is entering its 14th year. Before the sale began, all the unwanted items left campus in a dumpster. “Our program back then was really just staging 17 large roll-offs in the various residence hall complexes. (Students) would throw stuff in it and we’d take it to the landfill. I wanted to see us do a better job there, and we came up with the idea of selling the stuff,” Matyasovsky said. The rest, as they say, history. In 13 years, the Trash to Treasure program has raised $661,000 for the United
Way. It also keeps 65 tons of trash from going to the landfill each year. “The program is popular for the right reasons,” Matyasovsky said. “It’s really a win-win.” According to Matyasovsky, Penn State’s award-winning recycling program would not be possible without the backing of the students, faculty and staff, as well as those who visit campus each and every year. “I’d like to offer a sincere, heart-felt thank you for supporting our programs,” he said. “It does take time, it does take effort, but everyone makes an effort to pitch it in. That’s the difference in our program. People on this campus want to do the right thing and they do it every single day.”

WON’T ALL-SEASON TIRES WORK JUST FINE? By design all-season tires are a compromise. That compromised goal prevents them from being a master of any one. Winter tires are specifically designed to excel in the water, snow and ice and that is what they do. I’VE GOT 4 WHEEL DRIVE, I CAN GO ANYWHERE! 4WD and All-Wheel drive vehicles do help you get going, but they are also heavier therefore have longer stopping distances. Winter tires are superior to all-terrain tires when stopping and turning in winter driving conditions.
MY OWNER’S MANUAL SAYS THAT I SHOULD PUT WINTER TIRES ON ALL FOUR WHEELS The tires on 4WD and All-Wheel drive vehicles should always be the same. Mixing tires on any vehicle will create a dissimilarity in the braking and traction that may lead to handling problems or a loss of control. One end of the vehicle may perform very well and go, turn or stop when you want it to, but the other end may not. By installing four winter tires you will undoubtedly maximize your traction and handling this winter.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Pig roast benefit a hit The Bob Perks Cancer Assistance Fund expresses great thanks to Ken and Dana Tressler and Brandon Snyder for their fantastic Sept. 13 pig roast, which raised $3,404 to help local families that struggle to pay for basic expenses while they battle cancer. The second annual pig roast was held in memory of Ken’s father, B. J. Croyle, who passed away last fall. More than 125 family, friends and community members gathered together at Ken’s woodland property in Snow Shoe and enjoyed great food, great company and the fantastic music of the Rock Fathers. Ken hand-stitched an amazing quilt to raffle off; Dana Tressler, Sara Haines and Molly Detweller of Our Hair Place in Bellefonte donated their earning and tips for the week before the event; Barry Kellerman of Truck Stuff & More of Milesburg donated dollars and sold quilt chances; and band members donated their music and all of tips to help local families battling cancer. We thank Ken and all of his supporters for making this such a successful event. Norma Keller, Executive Director Bob Perks Cancer Assistance Fund
Columnist got it right Kudos to Russell Frank for his column “You Got to Carry That Weight” (Centre County Gazette, Oct. 23-29). In my opinion, he hit the nail on the head. Why are we so concerned with the alleged perpetrator rather than the victims? Healing for the victims may take a life time, and we need to support them in every way possible.

sible (thank heavens for academic conferences). Were Prig to stick around a little he might see that there’s more here than meets the eye. Call it Alt-State College. It’s not any particular group of people, but a dimension of mind, like the Twilight Zone. Alt-State College is the sum of all the little subcultures that co-exist alongside the town’s high-profile sports and drinking culture. It’s the folkies you see at the Acoustic Brew concerts; the film and drama buffs you see at the State Theatre, the Downtown Theatre Centre and on campus; and the literature lovers you see at readings at Webster’s and on campus. Alt-State College is the hikers you meet in the Rothrock State Forest, the cyclists active in the Centre Region Bike Coalition and the farmers and locavores involved in Community Supported Agriculture. Increasingly, Alt-State College is the international students and faculty members and their families whose presence gives the lie to those portrayals of Happy Valley as an insular or provincial backwater. The above groups are a top-of-thehead list. I’m sure there are many I don’t even know about. Also, there are no boundaries separating the dominant culture from the sub-cultures. Plenty of poetry lovers, for example, also happen to be football lovers. But some of these little groups — and the venues where they gather — could use Prig’s help. They need his dollars, but more than that, they need his energy. Face it, Professor. You live here. So be here. This is a more interesting (and less idyllic) place than those out-of-town reporters gave it credit for being. It can be more interesting still.
The last straw for big soda? By The Orange County Register (McClatchy-Tribune News Service)
It’s a match made in nanny-state heaven. Having failed to ban Big Gulps in New York City, former Big Apple mayor Michael Bloomberg has dumped $85,000 into the campaign in San Francisco to pass Measure E — a 2-cent tax on all “sugary drinks.” That’s a red alert for the nation’s big soda makers, who are already reeling from consumers’ changing tastes. In a world where new supercharged energy drinks hit the market every few months, old stalwarts like Coke and Pepsi have wound up seeming not just boring, but relatively useless. Who wants mere refreshment? Kids these days want to get amped up. Even if the soda companies’ competitors are also affected, a punitive tax on sodas is more than they can stand. So the American Beverage Association is outspending Bloomberg and company by a factor of 10. Nevertheless, they face an uphill battle. And the reason why ought to give Californians a reason to rethink taxes like Measure E. San Francisco, of course, is no
ordinary city. It’s filled with ideological activists and lifestyle liberals who want to do what they can to reshape society to their liking. But that instinct is as old as humanity itself. There’s something reasonable about it, too, up to a point. Nobody has a human right to drink Coca-Cola at a certain price. On the other hand, nobody has a right to force others to pay more for a product they don’t like. That’s why taxes like those hiked by Measure E fall into a problematic gray area. Even though they’re meddlesome and manipulative, they don’t fall into the category of rights talk. Here’s the thing, though: Even more important than who’s offended by the taxes is how and why the taxes would be applied. Measure E doesn’t just levy a 2-cent surcharge on sugary drinks. It spends the money raked in by the tax on nutrition and physical education programs for kids. For many San Franciscans, that’s an even better reason to vote Yes on the measure Nov. 4. Think carefully, however, and you’ll see that the concept of taxation behind Measure E is a pernicious one, even if the results it
promises could be beneficial to some. The fair purpose of taxation is to raise revenue, period — not to punish some behavior and reward others. America has drifted far from this gold standard of fairness. Think of the mortgage interest tax deduction, which encourages people to buy homes by handing them a massive write-off that renters just can’t get. But the logic of Measure E goes far beyond that. Studies suggest that the tax alone would slash soda consumption by a third. The programs the tax receipts would fund are clearly designed to push future consumption down even further. Measure E isn’t a simple “sin tax,” where government cashes in on people’s appetite for pleasure so it can pay for pre-existing expenses everyone shares. It’s designed to do to the soda industry what President Obama wants to do to ISIS: “degrade and eventually destroy” it. That doesn’t make Measure E unconstitutional all by itself. But it should be a warning to us all. Today it’s soda. What products will it be tomorrow? The logic behind Measure E knows no bounds.

Screenings fail to identify teens at risk for hearing loss HERSHEY — Subjective screening questions do not reliably identify teenagers who are at risk for hearing loss, according to researchers at Penn State College of Medicine. The results suggest that objective hearing tests should be refined for this age group to replace screening questions. The American Academy of Pediatrics, in partnership with the Bright Futures children’s health organization, sets standards for pediatric preventive care. The AAP recommends screening adolescents with subjective questions and then following up with objective hearing tests for those found to be at high risk of hearing loss. However, the screening questions were not specifically developed for children or adolescents. Studies also show that adolescents are poor self-reporters of hearing status. “We found that you can’t rely on the Bright Futures questions to select out teenagers at high risk for hearing loss who would warrant an objective screen,” said Dr. Deepa Sekhar, assistant professor of pediatrics. A study in 2010 using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey showed that one in five adolescents aged 12 to 19 has hearing loss. Most have highfrequency hearing loss, which may be related to increasing hazardous noise exposures from such things as personal listening devices, concert-going, ATV-riding and hunting with firearms. For the study, 11th-grade students at Hershey High School — located in the college’s community — answered the 10 Bright Futures hearing screening questions and additional questions assessing other potential risk factors for adolescent hearing loss. They also took the Pennsylvania state-mandated hearing test — the familiar hearing

screening where children raise their hand when they hear a tone — and a hearing test developed by the researchers to better detect high-frequency noise-related hearing loss. Some of the children underwent additional standard hearing testing in a soundproof booth. The researchers report their results in the Journal of Medical Screening. Neither the Bright Futures questions nor the additional questions were associated with adolescent hearing loss. In addition, the Pennsylvania school hearing test was found to have a sensitivity of 13 percent for adolescent hearing loss while the study-designed hearing test had 100 percent sensitivity. “Although our test had more false positives, we caught 100 percent of the students with hearing loss,” Sekhar said. School hearing tests currently used in most states screen mainly for low-frequency hearing loss, which is seen more often in younger children in association with frequent ear infections and fluid in the ear. Sekhar’s previous research showed that these tests often miss high-frequency hearing loss. She is working to develop an objective hearing screening test custom-designed for adolescents with more high-frequency tones above 3,000 hertz. These tones are typically affected by hazardous noise exposure. A testing protocol that requires adolescents to fail twice instead of once will reduce false positives. “The onset of high-frequency hearing loss is often very insidious and the symptoms are often very subtle,” Sekhar said. “It’s important to identify hearing problems at any age because of the impact it can have on all different areas of life, including academic success, workplace advancement and social relationships.”

ACCORDING TO medical experts, subjective screening questions do not necessarily identify teenagers who are at risk for hearing loss.

Keystone ACO report shows quality, efficiency for patients DANVILLE — The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has issued quality and financial performance results showing that Medicare Accountable Care Organizations have improved patient care and produced hundreds of millions of dollars in savings for the program. The Keystone ACO generated $1.3 million in savings, but its assigned beneficiary expenditures were greater than the updated benchmark. This means Keystone did not earn a performance payment, but does not owe CMS losses. Keystone ACO is made up of the Evangelical Community Hospital, Lewisburg; Geisinger Medical Center, Danville; Geisinger-Wyoming Valley Medical Center, Wilkes-Barre; Geisinger-Community Medical Center, Scranton; Geisinger-Bloomsburg Hospital, Bloomsburg; and Wayne
Memorial Hospital, Honesdale. “The Keystone ACO is making great progress, probably ahead of schedule of where we thought we would be. And most importantly, we have been able to demonstrate significant improvement in quality measures,� said Dr. Thomas Graf, CEO of Keystone ACO. “The fact that we pulled together six hospitals and four physician groups and achieved $1.3 million in savings in our first year — that’s terrific. “We are delivering the triple aim of improved patient experience and quality, improved health outcomes for our patient population and reduction in the burden of high cost.� One aim of the Affordable Care Act is to encourage doctors, hospitals and other health care providers to better coordinate patient care by keeping the population
healthy rather than solely treating patients when they are sick, a practice that also reduces costs. ACOs are one example of that attempt in which providers that join ACOs become eligible for shared Medicare savings when they deliver more efficient and better quality care. ACOs in the Medicare Shared Savings Program and Pioneer ACO Model generated more than $372 million in total program savings for Medicare ACOs, according to preliminary quality and financial results from the second year of performance for 23 Pioneer ACOs, and final results from the first year of performance for 220 Shared Savings Program ACOs. Meanwhile, the ACOs outperformed published benchmarks for quality and patient experience last year and improved
significantly on almost all measures of quality and patient experience this year. “We all have a stake in improving the quality of care we receive, while spending our dollars more wisely,� Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell said. “It’s good for businesses, for our middle class, and for our country’s global competitiveness. That’s why, at HHS, we are committed to partnering across sectors to make progress.� Since passage of the Affordable Care Act, more than 360 Medicare ACOs have been established in 47 states, serving more than 5.6 million Americans with Medicare. Medicare ACOs are groups of providers and suppliers of services working together to coordinate care for the Medicare feefor-service beneficiaries they serve and achieve program goals.
Juniper Village at Brookline Kuhlman joins physician group participates in benchmark study STATE COLLEGE — Juniper Village at Brookline is continuing its participation in a major study on dementia and delirium out of the College of Nursing at Penn State University. The study is called Reserve for Delirium Superimposed on Dementia, and Brookline has been an active participant in the study since its inception in 2010. This September, a presentation was made at Juniper covering the research results to date on the general evaluation and management of delirium. The purpose of the study is to test the efficacy of cognitive stimulation for resolving delirium in persons with dementia subsequent to a hospitalization. The research is testing a non-pharmacological intervention for delirium in the form of recreational activities. The ongoing, fiveyear clinical trial will conclude in 2015. Dr. Ann Kolanowski and Dr. Donna Fick received a grant of more than $2.4 million from the National Institute of Nursing Research to conduct the research. “Juniper Village is pleased to provide support for this very important research whose eventual findings will benefit our residents by allowing us to better identify those suffering from delirium. The findings will then help us to best treat those residents, enriching their daily quality of care,� said Janice Whitaker, Juniper Village Rehabilitation and Skilled Care at Brookline wellness director.
Currently, 35 residents of Juniper Village at Brookline have participated. At the time of a resident’s move into Juniper’s rehabilitation and skilled care community, residents who seem to be a good fit for the study are referred as potential candidates. If the resident, or family members who are the decision makers, decide to participate, release forms are completed and forwarded to the College of Nursing. Student nurses then engage with these residents and track their progress throughout their stay. “Juniper Communities has been committed to innovative dementia care for more than a decade. We are so proud that our programs have been nationally recognized, but more pleased that we have positively impacted the lives of those we serve and their families,� said Dr. Lynne S. Katzmann, president and founder of Juniper Communities. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, an estimated 5.2 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease. The Reserve DSD study is specifically looking at complex care issues in the health of the elderly, dementia behavior in the elderly, drug burden in nursing home residents with dementia, non-pharmacological interventions for the behavioral symptoms of dementia and delirium, and non-pharmacological interventions for delirium in persons with dementia.

Penn State environmental major researches ‘scars’ By ERIC CHRISTENSEN Special to the Gazette
UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State offers a wide variety of summer internship opportunities to its students. For senior Dylan Kubina, one of the most important guidelines for her research is a simple one — don’t forget the bug spray. Kubina, of State College, is an environmental resource management major in the College of Agricultural Sciences. She is conducting a botanical survey of central Pennsylvania’s pingo scar regions. Today, pingo scars are swamp-like geological features left behind from Pennsylvania’s last glacial period, around 15,000 years ago. During that era, the scars developed in patches of permafrost that were at least 5 meters thick, creating ecosystems that aren’t found anywhere else in the state. Kubina is the first to conduct a botanical survey of these unique environments. “I submitted a research proposal with the help of my mentor in the environmental resource management program,” Kubina said. “Since then, she has helped me a lot with learning how to identify the different kinds of plants
we have been observing in the pingo scar regions.” Locations where pingo scarring has been found include R.B. Winter State Park and Rothrock State Forest. Kubina has found some challenges during her research. “The hardest thing probably has been learning the Latin names of all of the plants we are identifying. Also, since the regions are so swampy, there are bugs everywhere. Even when I use the strongest bug spray, it’s impossible not to get bitten,” she said. Despite the challenges, Kubina is excited to be doing research that never has been conducted before. “The best part about the research is finding plants that never have been identified anywhere else in the state,” she said. “Discoveries like that show just how unique these ecosystems are and how important it is to study them carefully.” After graduation, Kubina plans to move to the West Coast for graduate school, continuing her studies in botany and the environment. “I hope I can find a job in a botany-related field. A lot of universities are scaling back their botany departments, but the research I’ve done this summer has showed me just how important studying plants can be. They have a cause and effect on every aspect of our environment.”

STATE COLLEGE — Schlow Centre Region Library will have a two-for-one line-up at its “Speak Up for Libraries Day” author event on Thursday, Nov. 6. Visiting Schlow’s Children’s Department will be Bellefonte’s Teresa Stouffer, author of “No Snitchin’ in the Kitchen,” and Suzanne Bloom, who will read the latest book from her popular “Goose and Bear” series. Stouffer created “No Snitchin’ in the Kitchen” to read to her students at Bellefonte Elementary School, where she taught learning support for 33 years. “No Snitchin’ in the Kitchen” is an autobiographical account of time spent baking with her mom and sister when Stouffer was growing up. Stouffer’s interactive book reading includes play kitchen supplies and is part of the PA Forward initiative, emphasizing basic and information literacy. Building on her training as a teacher, Stouffer has also designed a companion booklet for children to complete using their own words and illustrations after they’ve read “No Snitchin’ in the Kitchen.” Bloom is both an author and an illustrator who has presented her works to children throughout the United States. With more than a dozen published children’s books, Bloom is a popular writer and presenter. She will be reading from her new book, “Alone Together.” Head children’s librarian Anita Ditz is delighted to offer this opportunity to Schlow’s young readers. “Kids love our author visits because they are engaging and fun. We love author visits because they create a real-life connection to the books and stories that shape the children of our community,” Ditz said. The visits are part of a statewide initiative to bring authors to local libraries and showcase how libraries inspire, inform and empower those authors. Speak Up for Libraries Day gives authors across the state the opportunity to demonstrate the important role that libraries play in all of our lives. The event will take place in Schlow’s Downsbrough Community Room at 6:30 p.m. and is free and open to the public.

Dental office collecting candy for troops By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com
PORT MATILDA — When thinking about the best parts of Halloween, creative costumes and spooky parties are some of the first to come to mind. Trick-or-treating, however, is also atop that list, especially for children. But most children get more Halloween candy than they know what to do with. Instead of grazing on countless pieces for weeks to come, have your children pick the ones they like best and donate the rest to a good cause. Pediatric Dental Care and Happy Valley Orthodontics will pay $1 per pound for your children’s extra Halloween candy. Stop by their office from 3:30 to 6 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 3, at 1019 Ghaner Road, Suite A, in Port Matilda, to cash in on this offer. The offices will also accept candy donations from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday, and 8 a.m. to noon on Friday. Pediatric Dental Care and Happy Valley Orthodontics began this promotion five years ago as a way to help children and families cut down on candy consumption while participating in a national initiative to support the troops. After a week of collecting candy, the dental offices will send it to California for
Operation Gratitude. Through the program, care packages, which include the donated candy and other items, are sent to U.S. military personnel throughout the country and those stationed internationally. “It’s a great way to give back,” said Emily Janoscrat, a dental hygienist at Pediatric Dental Care and Happy Valley Orthodontics. “And it’s fun for the kids of the Centre region.” Last year, the offices collected $450 worth of candy, which Janoscrat hopes to surpass this year. After major holidays during which children receive a lot of candy, such as Halloween and Easter, Janoscrat said her offices do see the effects of overconsumption of candy. Candy doesn’t need to be cut out completely, she said, but the constant grazing, like eating one or two pieces daily, is what causes dental issues such as cavities. “It’s the constant intake of sugar,” Janoscrat said. “(Our goal) is to get it out of the homes.” If candy is going to be consumed, chocolate is a better choice than hard, gooey candy because it melts faster in the mouth. Hard candy, she said, is more likely to stay in the grooves of the teeth, especially if consumed regularly. Those who have had recent dental work or who are currently receiving orthodontic treatment should avoid hard candy alto-

Sprucetown Methodist Church holds annual fall bazaar By SAM STITZER
pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
SPRING MILLS — On Oct. 25, the Sprucetown Methodist Church held its annual Fall Bazaar in the lower level of the church building located on Upper Georges Valley Road. This event was held as a fundraiser for the church’s outreach fund, which helps people facing personal and financial tragedies in the Penns Valley area. The church has about 45 active members, served by Pastor Jeff Mugridge. The event was originally the combined effort of three churches: Faith United Methodist Church in Spring Mills, Bethany United Methodist Church in Tusseyville and the Sprucetown church. Over time, the Faith and Bethany churches dropped out, and the Sprucetown church took responsibility for the event. The bazaar featured home baked pies, bread and cookies, six kinds of soup, sand-
wiches and many tables filled with all manner of household goods and handmade craft items for sale. All the food and merchandise is donated by church members. Church member Beverly Foust brought some unique handmade necklaces to sell. The necklaces are made from beads that she makes from strips of recycled paper. This technique dates back to Victorian times, when ladies would gather to make beads, just as they did for quilting and knitting. They used scraps of wallpaper, which they rolled on knitting needles, to make the beads, and then dipped them in paraffin or beeswax to seal them. Foust uses the covers of her church bulletins as a raw material. She cuts long triangular strips of paper, coats the back sides with glue, and rolls the strips around toothpicks to make the beads. “Each bead is different,” said Foust. She strings the paper beads alternated with various types, sizes and colors of plastic beads to complete the necklaces.

MILESBURG — Former mob boss Michael Franzese had it all — money, power and prestige. Then, he did the unthinkable — he quit the mob. Franzese will share his story on Sunday, Nov. 9, at Freedom Life, 113 Sunset Acres in Milesburg. The community is invited to hear Franzese reveal the answers to the many mysteries surrounding his life. Find out how he did what no one else has managed to do — leave the mob and live. “Rudy Guiliani couldn’t peg him, but we’ve got him booked,” jokes Freedom Life Campus pastor Eric Gerber. “But really, I’ve heard Michael Franzese before, and his story will blow you away. It’s just incredible. It’s an honor for us to be able to offer this event to our community. MafiaChurch is one of the biggest events of the year for us. It’s going to be huge and have a great impact on all who attend.” To accommodate an anticipated large crowd, there will be two identical services: the first will begin at 9 a.m. and the second will begin at 11 a.m. Freedom Life Kids will host children — infants through fifth grade — with exciting, age-appropriate programs during the services.
Franzese’s appearance at Freedom Life comes near the time of his new movie release, “God the Father,” which portrays his powerful story. At age 35, Fortune magazine listed Franzese as No. 18 on the “50 Most Wealthy and Powerful Mafia BossMICHAEL es.” FRANZESE He masterminded brilliant schemes on the edge of a legitimate business world. After years of investigations and trials, Franzese finally pleaded guilty and accepted a 10-year prison sentence. Then upon release, amazingly, he walked away from everything — without protective custody. The movie and Franzese’s message at Freedom Life will tell of his life defined by two blood covenants: the first bound him to the mob and the second set him free.

STATE COLLEGE — Community members will soon come together to support a local mother who, despite battling a brain tumor for the second time, has organized a charity race. The Team Snap 5K will take place at 11 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 9, at Tudek Park, 400 Herman Drive. Proceeds from the event will benefit the National Brain Tumor Society in honor of Jamie Barbarich Covol, an autistic support teacher at Mount Nittany Elementary School. Covol was diagnosed with a brain tumor eight years ago, three months after her eldest son was born. After that, she and her husband, Brian, joined by their two sons, Braylan, 8, and Layton, 4, began participating in the Race for Hope in Philadelphia, which also benefits the National Brain Tumor Society. Covol and her family recently learned that the tumor has grown back. While waiting to hear what action they will take, Covol decided to organize an event to help her sons realize what the level of support is for families in the area going through a hard time. With the help of friends, Covol organized the Team Snap 5K. Since the whole family loves being outdoors and running the Race for Hope, a local race turned out to be a great option, she said. “This has been very humbling,� Covol said. “We’re fortunate to live in this wonderful community and are so grateful for their support.� By the last week in October, about 250 people had already signed up for the race. The original goal was 100
participants, according to Alli Mock, a friend of Covol and one of the race organizers. “They’ve been so touched by the outpouring from the community,� Mock said. “It’s so awesome for them and they’re so happy.� Covol and Mock said that this is the first year they are organizing the race, and if all goes well, they’ll definitely continue it.

VFW keeps Old Glory flying high HOWARD — The Veterans of Foreign Wars Ladies Auxiliary of the Jackson-Crissman-Saylor Post 1600 in Bellefonte recently presented a new American flag to the Eagle Ironworks at Curtin Village Pennsylvania Historic Site in honor of all veterans. The presentation was made by Kate Shuey and Nancy Smith, members of the auxiliary who noticed the worn flag being flown at the site and arranged for the auxiliary to replace it. The flag-raising ceremony took place on Oct. 7. John Romani, the historic site’s tour guide, expressed gratitude for the new flag and had the honor of raising it up the flagpole for all to view on the grounds of the 1830 Roland Curtin Mansion. He informed spectators that the mansion was one of the places where soldiers from Centre County enlisted during the Civil War. Curtin Village — which operated from 1810 to 1920 — is the only place in Pennsylvania where visitors can see a reconstructed waterwheel-powered iron furnace and peek into the lives of the local rich and the poor workers during the 1800s. The tour also includes Gov. Andrew Curtin’s personal carriage and antique farm machinery.

Home remodeling goes social as tech startup transforms industry By McClatchy-Tribune News Service
More Time for Holiday Fun!
The revenue comes from advertising by national brands and a professional subscription package launched a few months ago. Now competition is emerging. Last month, the Seattle-based home-valuation site Zillow introduced Zillow Digs, a similar service. Zillow spokeswoman Cynthia Nowak said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;a huge market,â&#x20AC;? citing a study that found that nearly 25 percent of recent homeowners completed a kitchen or bathroom remodeling project last year. The new Zillow Digs iPad app includes cost estimates for many remodeling projects and links to more than 20,000 home improvement professionals and more than 30,000 photos. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too new to have any user metrics, but Zillowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home-valuation site has 46 million monthly visitors.
PA#073823
Home remodeling, one of the biggest industries in the country, is being transformed by the Internet with a push from a fast-growing startup in Silicon Valley. Until recently, a homeowner thinking about remodeling would have checked out books from the library, read some design magazines, asked friends for advice and tried to find help on the Web. But in January, 14 million people turned instead to Houzz, a small Palo Alto, Calif., company that has grabbed the $300 billion remodeling industry by the tail and is changing the way homeowners connect with design professionals and figure out how they want to improve their homes. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taking off just as the housing market is rebounding and giving homeowners more equity to play with. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the latest example of the way the Internet has disrupted an entire industry, having already transformed everything from publishing to entertainment. But this is with a twist: Rather than hurting established players in the remodeling business, sites like Houzz are likely to benefit them by bringing them more business more efficiently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Houzz has had a huge impact in the residential design community,â&#x20AC;? said Mark Demerly, an Indianapolis architect and recently chairman of the American Institute of Architectsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; custom residential network. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ask our
clients to seek out things on it they like and that inspire them.â&#x20AC;? Created four years ago by Alon Cohen and Adi Tatarko, who were remodeling their Palo Alto home, the home-improvement site quickly caught on across the U.S. and in Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clipping things out of design magazines seemed so antiquated,â&#x20AC;? Cohen recently recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today everything is online. We thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to be a better way to do this.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153; Houzzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iPad and iPhone apps have been downloaded 6 million times. It has 14 million visitors a month â&#x20AC;&#x201D; up from 1.3 million downloads and 4 million visitors a year ago â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who pore over 1.2 million images of remodeling projects with links to 188,000 architects, designers and other professionals. In a little more than two years, it has drawn $48.6 million in three rounds of venture funding.

By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Ohio State didn’t score 63 points, or run up 600 yards of offense, or average almost 10 yards every play like it did last season in the Horseshoe. Yet the Buckeyes got enough — just barely and with some help — in their 31-24 overtime win over Penn State. For Penn State fans, there was much in this game to be very encouraged about. Let’s face it, it wasn’t difficult to imagine a demoralizing 60-something beatdown in front of a white-out crowd and every recruit east of the Great Lakes. Actually, it wasn’t hard to imagine that at halftime. But the Penn State defenders were not about to let that happen, nor was Christian Hackenberg, or Mike Hull, or those much-maligned players along the offensive line. The 17-point comeback and the Hackenberg-led drive to the brink of a major upset were drama as riveting as any seen at Beaver Stadium. It’s still a loss, though, at it leaves Penn State at 4-3, two games shy of bowl-eligibility, and having somehow to regroup and refocus on a new opponent: the Maryland Terrapins. Perhaps no team would like to come into Beaver Stadium and beat Penn State more than Maryland. That’s because of a whole swirl of factors — it’s the first meeting of the teams in 22 years, Maryland’s long history of falling short against Penn State (1-35-1 record), Maryland’s status as a new Big Ten member bent on making a big first impression, James Franklin’s tenure as a Maryland coach (and possibly its head coach), the recruiting wars between the two teams, etc. Suffice it to say, the Terrapins will be highly motivated and they have players who can do damage. Maryland is 5-3 so far this season and 2-2 in the Big Ten. After beating Indiana 37-15 in its Big Ten opener, Maryland lost to Ohio State, 52-24, beat Iowa, 38-31, and lost to Wisconsin, 52-7. The Terps are led by sixth-year senior quarterback C.J. Brown, who has amassed some impressive numbers in his career at Maryland. He ranks eighth in school history with more than 4,400 passing yards and, added to his 1,538 yards rushing, he is among only 10 active FBS players with more than 4,000 yards passing and 1,000 yards rushing. Brown has eight 100-yard rushing performances, and he needs only 144 more yards of total offense to pass Boomer Esiason for third place in program history. Against Wisconsin, however, Brown was held to 129 yards passing, and he rushed for only 14 yards. He did complete his 28th career touchdown pass to wide receiver Stefan Diggs for Maryland’s only score in the game. Diggs leads the team in receptions (46) and yards

SAEED BLACKNALL scored the lone offensive touchdown for Penn State during regulation, hauling in a 24-yard TD from Christian Hackenberg in the fourth quarter against Ohio State.
(601), and he has eight career 100-yard receiving games. He averages six catches per game for 79 yards, and he has more than 2,000 career receiving yards for Maryland. Maryland has 1,100 yards rushing this season on 283 attempts, and is led by Brown who has a net of 376 yards and five touchdowns. Brandon Ross (257 yards) and Wes Brown (231) also carry the ball for the Terps. Besides Diggs, Deon Long, Marcus Leak and Ross also have more than 200 receiving yards. Placekicker Brad Craddock is one of the best in the country. This season, he is 12-12 on field goals (long of 57) and 31-31 on extra points for a total of 67 points. Defensively, cornerback William Likely has four interceptions, including a 43-yard pick-6. Defensive end Andre Monroe has a team-leading 6.5 sacks this season and 21 sacks in his career. Maryland as a team has 13 sacks so far, tied for the lead in the Big Ten. For Penn State, Maryland marks the beginning of the final push of the season and the first of five consecutive games in November. Even though Penn State lost only one time to Maryland in 37 games, the last meeting between the teams was in 1983 and much has changed since then. One thing that hasn’t changed is the play of the Penn State defenses. This year’s Nittany Lion defense — just as it was in the 1980s and 90s — is among the best in the country. Penn State leads the Big Ten Conference in rushing defense and red zone defense, and it is second in scoring and third in total defense. The Nittany Lions are ranked in the Top 10 nationally in three of the four categories. The Nittany Lions are No. 3 nationally in rushing defense, allowing just 83.4 yards per game on ground. They are one of just eight teams in the NCAA allowing fewer than 100 yards rushing per game. Penn State has allowed just 17.4 points per contest, which ranks No. 9 nationally and the Nittany Lions’ 284.7 yards per game stat also is good for No. 7 nationally. Penn State, Alabama and Louisville are the nation’s only teams ranked in the Top 10 in all three categories. Even so, Ohio State’s J.T. Barrett hurt Penn State with his versatility, especially in the first half and in overtime on Oct. 25. The Nittany Lions will have to be especially wary of Brown, who is dangerous running or passing. Offensively, Penn State did not noticeably improve its running game against the Buckeyes, but the Lions used a short, quick, outside passing game to relieve pressure on Hackenberg. It worked, mostly in the second half against OSU, and Hackenberg found enough time to nearly lead the Lions to a win. Maryland has a fierce pass rush, however the Terps’ run defense is not as solid as what Penn State has seen recently. Look for Penn State to be able to move the ball on the ground more effectively between the tackles against the Terrapins. On the down side for the Lions, both Ryan Keiser and Zach Zwinak are injured and out for the season. Both are seniors and have been major contributors for Penn State. Rivalry, Page 18

The good, the bad and the ugly UNIVERSITY PARK — There was plenty for postgame radio show hosts to dissect following Penn State’s gutwrenching 31-24 double overtime loss to Ohio State on Oct. 25. It was the third consecutive loss for the Nittany Lions, who slipped to 4-3 on the season. In every game, there’s always some good, bad and ugly to go around. This week is no exception. ■ The good — Penn State battled. Down 17-0, it would have been easy for the Nittany Lions to fold up their tents. To their credit, they made some halftime adjustments and came out on fire. An interception return by Anthony Zettel got the Lions back in the game. After trimming the deficit to 17-14, quarterback Christian Hackenberg led his squad on an epic drive to knot the game and force overtime. ■ The bad — Zach Zwinak’s bad break. Zwinak suffered a lower leg injury on the first play of the game. Zwinak was lost in coach James Franklin’s system, even though he rushed for more than 1,000 yards in 2012 and nearly 1,000 in 2013. He is now out for the season. ■ The ugly — The officiating. Let’s face it: It was a bad night for the Big Ten officiating crew. How they blew the interception, we’ll never know. Then, there was the Ohio State field goal in which the play clock expired. Those were the worst of the mistakes in a mistake-filled night for the crew. Of course, good teams overcome bad calls. Simply put, Penn State has a long way to go before it can lay claim to being the best in the Big Ten — bad calls not withstanding. — Chris Morelli

Putting the Penn State football season into context UNIVERSITY PARK — There’s a word in the English language that isn’t always used, but one that’s pretty important in analyzing this year’s Penn State football team, or any team, really. That word: context. After the Oct. 25 primetime clash against Ohio State, a 31-24 double-overtime near-miss that included blown officiating calls, DaeSean Hamilton setting a Penn State record with 14 catches in one game and Mike Hull racking up a careerhigh 19 tackles, coach James Franklin and his players were emotionally spent. “I’m an emotional John Patishnock guy, so I got emotional covers Penn State with them,” Franklin athletics for the said of his postgame Centre County message. “It starts Gazette. Email him at sports@ with ‘I love you’ and centrecounty ends with ‘I love you,’ gazette.com. always with us. I’m really proud of how they competed. There are no moral victories at Penn State and there never will be, but I’m proud of how they fought and stood together. “With that, we’ll get where we want to go. We’ll get where the fans want us to go. We’ll go where everyone needs us to go. That’s the most important thing. There are no moral victories, but I love these kids and sticking together, we’ll get where we want to be. I told them that and I was emotional when I told them that.” Franklin was measured in his responses, especially after each of the three times he was asked if he was given an explanation for an Ohio State interception that replays showed hit the ground, and a 49-yard Buckeye field goal that came a few seconds after the play clock expired. He said the team will focus on what they could control, and that means prepar-

ing for Maryland, the first in a five-game stretch that will determine Penn State’s postseason fate. Penn State needs to win two out of its last five games to qualify for a bowl game. Now stop and think about that for a minute, or two, or 10. Take the rest of the day if you want to. Imagine a few years ago if someone said that in October 2014, the football team would be in the exact situation I just described — two wins away from a bowl — and the scenario would’ve been incomprehensible. This season, the third during the sanctions, was always targeted as the worst of the worst. But after Penn State started 4-0 and the NCAA lifted the bowl ban, celebration trumped reflection. In a lot of ways, that’s fine, and probably good. But this year’s team is seemingly critiqued without regard to what’s been happening around the program. This team has limitations, a shorter ceiling than what the program is used to. Fair or not, that’s the way it is this year. But the coaches and players make you forget the limitations that have been placed on them. They just play, and they just coach, and while there have been maddeningly frustrating times, this season’s Ohio State game reminded fans that things won’t always be this difficult. In the meantime, Ohio State continues to remain the conference benchmark. You could use the word “escaped” to describe the Buckeyes’ win, but they usually find a way: They’ve won 19 straight Big Ten conference games in the regular season. Now, about those two wins Penn State needs to qualify for a bowl — the Lions might not get them. The rest of the schedule is manageable: home games against Maryland, Temple and Michigan State and visits to Indiana and Illinois. But, the Lions will need a Herculean effort to down the Spartans, especially since there’s a good chance Michigan State will need that victory to clinch a trip to the Big Ten title game in Indianapolis. Temple and Illinois are the obvious
High Deductibles Just Got Higher!
NEWS AND NOTES DEFENSIVE MOMENTUM
Ohio State had scored 224 points in its last four games, averaging 56. The Buckeyes didn’t come close to that mark, with Penn State containing Ohio State’s option and sacking J.T. Barret three times; the Buckeyes scored 17 points in regulation, and were shut out in the third and fourth quarters. The defense also shifted the momentum when the offense sputtered. Zettel gave Beaver Stadium a jolt early in the second half, when he picked off a pass and rumbled 40 yards for a score; it was the first interception return for a touchdown for Penn State since 2009. Zettel also batted down a pass on third-and-4 in the third quarter, forcing a field goal attempt, which Ohio State missed. Of his interception, Zettel said: “Coach (Bob) Shoop called a good play call for what the offense was doing. The quarterback didn’t see me, it was a good cover up by the other blitzers and he threw the ball right to me. It was more of a play call than anything else; I was just in the right spot.”
MOVING THE BALL LATE
After struggling mightily in their last two games, the Lions produced a late-game drive that resulted in a Sam Ficken field goal that sent the game into overtime. Christian Hackenberg led a 19-play, 77-yard drive that began from Penn State’s 9-yard line. Rivalry, from page 1

targets, though I suspect Indiana might be overvalued. The Hoosiers usually find a way to lose games, and they’ve already claimed their marquee win this year, against Missouri. For Penn State, 6-6 or 7-5 seems likely, though a 5-7 finish also seems possible. I suspect the team will pick up those two wins, finish 6-6 and play in a bowl game named after a pizza joint or chain restaurant. That’s an unappealing result in most years for the players, coaches and fans. But with context, that’s a better finish in 2014 than anyone could have imagined a few years ago. And most fans seem to understand that. Standing on the field in the aftermath of the loss, the fans, and especially the student section, gave the team a nice ovation. It was past midnight, and everyone in the stadium looked drained, but a year after Ohio State posted 63 points on the Lions in a romp in Columbus, this had a much different feel. “I think we started playing a lot more complimentary football,” junior defensive Anthony Zettel said. “We started trusting the offense and they started trusting us, so I think we took a step forward. Ohio State is a really good team. We had opportunities to win the game; unfortunately, we couldn’t, but I think we, as a team, took a step forward.”
“I can’t believe the hospital charged me so much for the same thing last year.”
Keiser, a co-captain, was injured last Thursday in practice, and Zwinak sustained an injury on the opening kickoff of the Ohio State game. Keiser started the first six games of the season at free safety. He was No. 3 on the team with 25 tackles, and he had the gameclinching interception at Rutgers and two pass break-ups. With 11 starts, Keiser made four career interceptions, including two in the end zone to clinch wins over Illinois and at Wisconsin last season. Zwinak finished his career 15th on the Penn State career rushing list with 2,108 yards. Having played in all 31 games the past three seasons, he is tied for 10th on the school list with 11 career 100-yard rushing games, eight of which came in November
The Lions also converted three third downs. “If you saw the UCF game, we were down and had the same situation; we had been stalling all game and we just finally decided that we could move the ball,” Hamilton said. “We’re down and we know that we need to score and get points on the board to tie and go to overtime or win the game. Our offense really turns on in situations like that. It’s not necessarily explainable why we do that. We just know what the task is and we had to go get it done.” “We knew they were going to score,” senior defensive end C.J. Olaniyan said. “That’s our offense. Whenever we need it, they step up. We believe in them and when we got them the ball back, we knew they were going to score.
WHITE-OUT MAKES IMPACT
Penn State’s annual white-out had a real impact on the game, with an Ohio State drive in the second quarter stalling, in part, to a couple illegal procedure penalties. Ohio State had a first-and-10 on Penn State’s 17-yard line but settled for a 49yard field goal after a Deion Barnes sack. Ohio State also was assessed a delay of game penalty and had to call timeouts several times in Penn State territory after the play clock nearly expired. Approximately 75 percent of the soldout crowd was clad in white. “It’s always a great atmosphere here, especially during a white-out,” Hackenberg said. “Ohio State is a great team; I give them a lot of credit. They did what they needed to do, but we definitely gave ourselves a shot. We just couldn’t get it done.” Hull added: “When we started recovering on big plays, the crowd started to shift and helped us get back into it. Anytime you have a crowd on your side like that, it propels you to make big plays.”
HACKENBERG STAYING ‘TOUGH’
The sophomore signal-caller finished 31-for-49 for 224 yards; he also threw a touchdown, an acrobatic 24-yard reception by freshman receiver Saeed Blacknall. Hackenberg also threw two interceptions and was sacked five times. “The thing I think he’s doing that’s really important is he’s been mentally and physically tough all year long,” Franklin said. “He’s taken a lot of hits and a lot of pounding and he’s standing in there and believing in his guys and delivering.”
INJURY FORCES ZWINAK OUT
Senior running back Zach Zwinak suffered an injury on the opening kickoff, and after laying on the field for several minutes, was carted off the field. Zwinak gave a thumbs-up to the crowd and was able to stand on his own before leaving. Akeel Lynch gained 38 yards on 13 carries to lead the Lions, and Bill Belton added eight yards on nine carries, including a one-yard touchdown.
games the past two years. He scored 18 career rushing touchdowns, including 12 last season. Zwinak became the 14th different Nittany Lion to rush for 1,000 yards in a season in 2012, finishing with exactly 1,000 yards after gaining a career-high 179 yards in the Senior Day overtime win over Wisconsin. The Nittany Lions still have Bill Belton and Akeel Lynch in the backfield to carry on after Zwinak’s loss, and Keiser was replaced by true freshman Marcus Allen. Franklin and his staff are counting on the performance against Ohio State to be a springboard and a confidence booster for the rest of the season. The Terrapins, on the other hand, have their sights set on moving to 6-3 (bowl eligible) and 3-2 in the Big Ten East. Kickoff is set for noon at Beaver Stadium.

Tough matchup
Chestnut Ridge pulls away from Bellefonte in second half for 31-0 win By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com
BELLEFONTE — For the first 24 minutes of play, underdog Bellefonte was giving once-beaten Chestnut Ridge all it could handle. The Red Raiders stifled the Lions’ offense during the first half of the Oct. 24 game. As a result, Chestnut Ridge held a scant 7-0 lead. However, Chestnut Ridge would wear down the Red Raiders in the second half for a workmanlike 31-0 victory at Rogers Stadium. “Bellefonte has some athletes. Interior-wise, they match up with you,” said Chestnut Ridge head coach Max Shoemaker. “They had a nice game plan. You have to give their coaching staff and kids a lot of credit for keeping us at bay. But I thought our kids did a nice job of not panicking.” Over the first 12 minutes, the teams went back and forth, jockeying for field position. Both offenses bogged down and the first quarter ended scoreless. Bellefonte’s chances for the postseason were slim heading into the game. The loss dropped the Red Raiders to 2-7 and snuffed out any playoff hopes. Still, Bellefonte head coach Shanon Manning said that he was pleased with his squad’s effort — despite the goose egg on the scoreboard at the end of the night. “I felt good after every quarter,” Manning said. “This is a team that beat Central. That’s a good football team. That’s a high-powered offense. They average over 400 yards of offense (a game). I thought we did a good job on them defensively.” Bellefonte held Chestnut Ridge scoreless for much of the first half. However, the Lions eventually broke through just before intermission. With time winding down, Lion quarterback Tyler Wiley connected with wide receiver Feather Bryan for a pretty 27-yard scoring strike. Sean Vanmeter hit the PAT to make it 7-0.
TIM WEIGHT/For the Gazette
BELLEFONTE’S NICK JABCO fights for yardage during the Oct. 24 game with Chestnut Ridge at Rogers Stadium. The Lions defeated the Red Raiders, 31-0. The Red Raiders just couldn’t get any offense going in the first half. “Our offense was always starting at the 10- or 15-yard line,” Manning explained. “You go three and out and you have to punt … that’s giving the other team the ball at the 50-yard line. It’s tough to defend half the field. It’s really team against a team like this.” In the second half, Chestnut Ridge wore down Bellefonte. The Lions had a good-looking drive to start the second half that was capped by Matt Wiley’s 2-yard touchdown with 9:43 left in the third quarter. Vanmeter nailed the extra point to extend the Chestnut
Ridge lead to 14-0. Chestnut Ridge pushed its lead to 17-0 when Vanmeter nailed a 25-yard field goal with 2:04 left in the third. By controlling the ball, the Lions were wearing down the Red Raiders. “I think the kids said, ‘We’ve gotta figure this out.’ Eventually, we did,” Shoemaker said. “In the second half, we asserted ourselves a lot better.” Defensively, the Lions shut down the Red Raider offense. Although they generated just one turnover — a first-half interception of Bellefonte QB Mark Armstrong — Chestnut Ridge did not allow the Red Raiders to get into the red zone.
“We didn’t want to do anything stupid offensively that they could convert to an easy score. It’s nice to know that your defense can step up and play consistently. That makes it a little easier to be more conservative on offense,” Shoemaker said. In the fourth quarter, the Lions put the game away. Early in the final stanza, Tyler Wiley scored on a 3-yard run. Vanmeter kicked the PAT to extend the lead to 24-0. Then, with 4:42 left in the game, Tyler Wiley hooked up with Noah Osman for another 27-yard touchdown to set the final at 31-0. With the win, the Lions pushed their record to 8-1. They can turn their focus to the regular season
finale with Tyrone next week. “I feel we’ve improved since the beginning of the year,” Shoemaker said. “We have a big game next week with Tyrone. It will be a good challenge and a nice way to head into the postseason.” With the playoffs out of the picture, Bellefonte will focus on the season finale with Bald Eagle Area. The Curtin Bowl battle will be played at Rogers Stadium on Halloween night. “It’s a big game. Any time you play a team from Centre County, it’s a big game,” Manning said. “It’s a huge game for us. It means a lot to us. I think we’ll be a lot healthier next week. The kids will be focused.”
Penn State breaks through for home sweep By JOHN PATISHNOCK sports@centrecountygazette.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State seemed on the brink of scoring for the longest time. Then, it finally happened. And then, it happened again. And again. And it didn’t ever really stop. The Penn State men’s ice hockey team bulldozed Holy Cross, completing a weekend sweep with a 7-1 victory Oct. 26 at Pegula Ice Arena. It was the first home sweep for the Lions in their new arena. After a scoreless first period, Penn State notched the game’s first goal when Taylor Holstrom delivered a backhanded pass to Casey Bailey, who fired from a few feet away on the right side of the net with a little less than five minutes to go in the second period; David Goodwin also assisted on the goal. It was Bailey’s fourth score of the year after Goodwin brought the puck into the net and found Holstrom. The score epitomized the type of day Penn State enjoyed: an acrobatic goal that seemingly involved the entire line. Six players recorded a goal for Penn State, and nine Lions combined on 13 assists. Scott Conway, one of the team’s three freshmen, led Penn State with four points (two goals, two assists), with the two scores being his first of the year. Jacob Friedman, David Glen, Curtis
Loik and Eric Scheid each registered a goal for Penn State, which led 4-1 before adding three goals in the final seven minutes. “We can’t say we’re always going to get seven (goals), but hopefully we can get the same effort and focus to get to the net that we had tonight,” coach Guy Gadowsky said. Penn State (3-1-2) controlled shots on goal (42-30), and especially early (15-5 after the first period). The Nittany Lions also killed a 5-on-3 Holy Cross power play in the second period when the game was still scoreless. Penn State took the two-game series after winning 3-1 on Oct. 24. Bailey, Scheid and Rickey DeRosa all notched goals during the Friday evening game, and DeRosa contributed three assists to the Sunday afternoon match up. Matthew Skoff (3-1-2), tabbed the team’s No. 1 goalie in the preseason, has started all six games for the Nittany Lions. Skoff made 29 saves, including 24 after the first period. He saved five in the first period, but Gadowsky said that was just as impressive, saying all five were great looks. Holy Cross (1-3-1) spoiled the shutout with a goal in the third period, but otherwise, Skoff did what’s become the norm: stay zeroed in, stay resilient and keep deflecting shots. “He has to stay mentally focused, and

Curtin Bowl battle highlights Week 10 By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com
It’s time for the finales. The last week of the high school football regular season has arrived. That means the end of the road for our Centre County teams. With no playoffs on the horizon, the Bald Eagle Area-Bellefonte game is the highlight of Week 10. A closer look at the games:
BALD EAGLE AREA (2-7) AT BELLEFONTE (2-7)
Bald Eagle Area and Bellefonte have traveled very different paths this season, but they both arrive at this season climactic game under surprisingly similar circumstances. Both are 2-7 overall and 2-4 in the Mountain League, and throughout the season both teams have had problems with mistakes and turnovers impeding their offenses. The Eagles and Raiders are 2-6 against common opponents, and each team suffered one-sided losses to the powerhouse teams on this year’s schedule — Tyrone, Clearfield, Central, Chestnut Ridge and Jersey Shore. Although their records are the same, both likely have vastly different perspectives about their seasons so far. BEA had extremely successful seasons in 2012 and 2013, and this year, by comparison, has to seem like a disappointment. That’s in light of losing a very talented senior class from 2013 and having a new coaching staff and a new system in 2014. The Eagles began to lose their footing after a 28-6 loss to Penns Valley and never seemed to recover. The only highlight after that was a rousing 32-12 win over Huntingdon on Oct. 10. For Bellefonte, 2014 has been a different matter. The Raiders got their first win in two years on Sept. 26 against Philipsburg-Osceola and often showed grudging improvement even in lopsided losses.
The highlight for the Raiders was a come-from-behind, 20-12 victory over Penns Valley on Oct. 10 that displayed much of the progress the Raiders made this season. There is one more similarity: Most of the bad memories and disappointments of 2014 for both teams can be wiped away with a win in this game. No matter what the records, this would be the biggest game for both teams this year. The numbers for each team are also comparable. The Raiders and Eagles rely mostly on their running games, with Bellefonte gaining 155 yards per game and BEA getting 165. The Raiders leading rusher is Austin Jackson (75 yards per game), while Mitchell Struble (83 yards per game) handles most of the carries for BEA. Both quarterbacks, Jason Jones for BEA and Mark Armstrong for Bellefonte, do not throw excessively, but they can put it up when they have to. All told, on paper, this contest is as even as it gets and will likely be decided with just a minute or two — or only seconds — to play. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Rogers Stadium.
MIFFLIN COUNTY (1-8) AT STATE COLLEGE (3-6)
It must be difficult for the State College players and coaches to look back on their six losses this season. Every one of them was close, and in every one of them a different result in a play here or a bounce there could have changed the outcome of the game. In other words, the Little Lions may be 3-6, but they haven’t played like a 3-6 team. This week State College entertains 1-8 Mifflin County. The Huskies have also played the same very tough Mid-Penn Conference schedule that State College played, but they have not fared nearly so well. Since a non-league win over William-

RUNNING BACK Mitchel Struble will lead Bald Eagle Area into the Curtin Bowl showdown with rival Bellefonte. Both teams carry 2-7 records into the game. sport on Sept. 5, Mifflin has lost seven straight Mid-Penn games, the closest of which was a 20-0 loss to Chambersburg on Oct. 3. Every other loss was more onesided, including last week’s 47-0 loss to Central Dauphin. Still, the Huskies are not without assets. They put up over 210 yards of offense each game, including 135 on the ground. Their leading runner is senior Jadon Boyer who has rushed 131 times this season for 710 yards and seven touchdowns. His best effort came against Williamsport when he gained 192 yards on 20 carries and scored three touchdowns. Seniors Hunter Walker and Brice Christine share the quarterbacking duties, and they have combined for 509 yards passing and two touchdowns. They have also 151 yards on the ground with a touchdowns. Mifflin has had difficulties on defense this season and has held only one team — Chambersburg — to less than 30 points
with five teams scoring more than 40. State College fell in its last game to Cumberland Valley, 13-0, and struggled without leading rusher Jordan Misher. The Little Lions tried to compensate with Stan Martin (42 yards) and quarterback John Weakland (26 yards), but they managed only 80 yards on the ground against Cumberland Valley’s tough defense. Weakland did throw for 124 yards, but it wasn’t enough as State College couldn’t come back in the second half from a 13point deficit. Besides being State College final home game of the season, Mifflin is the Little Lions closest rival and it also eliminated State College from the AAAA playoffs last season. So there should be no lack of motivation — from either side — in this game. Week 10, Page 23

Without Misher, State High falls to Cumberland Valley By MATT ALLIBONE StateCollege.com
MECHANICSBURG — It was never going to be easy. Taking on 6-2 Cumberland Valley on the road without star running back Jordan Misher, the State College High football team was facing an uphill battle from the start on Oct. 24. Still, the Little Lions didn’t do themselves any favors against the Eagles, failing to take advantage of early opportunities in an eventual 13-0 loss that dropped them to 3-6 on the season. “We left a lot of plays on the field,” State College head coach Matt Lintal said. “We were able to move the ball, just turnovers and penalties and we shot ourselves in the foot again.” As has been common throughout the season, the Little Lions’ defense started off strong and gave the team a chance to control the momentum early on. On Cumberland Valley’s second drive, the State College front seven stood tall on a fourth-and-1 play, stuffing running back Tim Spinelli near midfield and giving the offense a prime opportunity to score. However, the Little Lions’ other habit of struggling to finish off drives became a problem once again. The following drive stalled at the Eagles 10-yard line and Kevin Cramer missed a 27-yard field goal. “You can’t go against a 6-2 football team and leave opportunities out there,” Lintal said. “You get yourself down
into the red zone, which is difficult enough, you gotta take advantage of it.” It was the second straight week that the kicking game dogged State College, as Cramer also missed a crucial extra point in the Oct. 17 14-12 loss to Central Dauphin East. “Kevin had a great week of practice,” Lintal said. “There’s still a lot of faith that our coaching staff has in Kevin. (The kick) was awfully close.” Given a chance to redeem themselves, the Eagles’ offense embarked on a 90-yard touchdown drive capped by Spinelli’s 5-yard plunge for a 7-0 lead. The drive was highlighted by two big plays from H-back Connor Long, a 30-yard run and a 15-yard reception. Things would continue to go south for State College on its next drive, as quarterback John Weakland forced a pass under pressure deep in his own end and was intercepted by defensive back Nick Rhodes. A few plays later, Cumberland Valley quarterback Jake Hunt would hit a leaping Long with a 16-yard strike in the end zone between two Lion defenders to put the Eagles ahead 13-0.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State senior safety Ryan Keiser has been ruled out for the remainder of the season and head coach James Franklin recently went into detail regarding the injury. According to a family statement read by Franklin, Keiser fractured a rib during practice on Oct. 23 while preparing for Penn State’s game against Ohio State. As a result of the injury, Keiser suffered what Franklin described as a “small” bowel injury that required surgery to repair. Franklin noted that Keiser is now in good spirits and recovering at the Hershey Medical Center. “I love Ryan Keiser,” Franklin said. “I love everything about him. “We can’t get him back here soon enough.” Keiser started the initial six games of the season at free safety. Prior to the Ohio State game, he was No. 3 on the team with 25 tackles (17 solo), had the game-clinching interception at Rutgers and two pass break-ups. The former Selinsgrove High School standout played in 42 of a possible 43 career games, with 11 starts. Keiser made four career interceptions, including two in the end zone to clinch wins over Illinois and at Wisconsin last season. He graduated with a degree in kinesiology in August. Penn State also announced on Oct. 27 that senior running back Zach Zwinak would miss the remainder of the season with an injury. Franklin did not go into detail regarding the injury during his teleconference, but the onfield injury appeared to be ankle- or leg-related. Zwinak was injured on the first play of the game on Penn State’s opening kick-off return against the Buckeyes.
State College’s next drive would also end abruptly when receiver Chris McDonough lost a fumble after a huge hit. The game went into halftime with the Lions down two scores. “We had some plays to make (in the first half) and we needed some guys to step up and make them,” Lintal said. “Our defense played well enough to win the ball game.” The second half would provide very little action, as Cumberland Valley played conservatively and penalties and miscues prevented State College from stringing together a consistent drive. While their defense played tough as always, it was clear that the Little Lions’ offense was helpless without Misher, who missed the game with an ankle injury. “It’s tough but I’ll tell you, I couldn’t be prouder of (backup running back) Stan Martin and his efforts tonight,” Lintal said. “There was a lot of positives in that football game and a lot of great efforts upfront. We have to build off those positives.” The Little Lions return home for their regular season finale, taking on Mifflin County on Friday, Oct. 31, at 7 p.m.

but everything will depend on whether or not the Ram defense can slow down the Trojans at all. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
PENNS VALLEY (2-7) AT MOUNT UNION (9-0)
Penns Valley finishes its season with a trip to undefeated Mt. Union on Friday, Oct. 31. The Trojans, 9-0, have almost literally sailed through their schedule this season. Until their comefrom-behind 44-41 win over Tussey Mountain on Oct. 24, the closest game the Trojans played was a 21-7 win over Bellwood-Antis on Sept. 26. Every other win has been by more than 29 points. The numbers bear this out. Mt. Union gains more than 410 yards per game of offense, 280 each game on the ground. Against Tussey, the Trojans ran 25 times for 399 yards and six touchdowns. Senior B.J. Loner leads the Mt. Union rushers with 60 carries for 794 yards and 16 touchdowns. But juniors D.J. Bookwalter and Robbie Steele have combined for more than 1,000 yards and eight touchdowns, while senior quarterback Trevon Walker has added another 504 yards and nine touchdowns. In all, Mt. Union has run for 2,513 yards and 38 scores. Add another 1,024 yards passing and 14 touchdowns by Walker, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to see why Mt. Union scores close to 40 points every game. Penns Valley comes into the game limping after two big losses without dual-threat quarterback Ben Alexander. Sophomore Andrew Tobias has taken the reins for Penns Valley, but the Ram offense has struggled without the running threat Alexander possesses. And the Ram defense, on the field more, has given up 83 points in those two games. Look for Penns Valley to improve on offense as Tobias gains experience,
PHILIPSBURG-OSCEOLA (0-9) AT BELLWOOD-ANTIS (7-2)
Philipsburg-Osceola has no easy task in trying to salvage a win in 2014 against 7-2 Bellwood-Antis on Friday, Oct. 31. Bellwood-Antis two losses this season have come to Tyrone, 18-14, and undefeated Mt. Union, 21-7. Otherwise, the Blue Devils have run the table. They come into the P-O game on a four-game win streak, and they are in the running for a high seed in the upcoming District 6 Class A playoffs. Bellwood averages 340 yards of offense each game, with 229 of that coming on the ground. Senior Cameron Wood leads the runners for Bellwood with 117 carries for 750 yards and 13 touchdowns. Wood has help, however, as there are five other runners who have more than 130 on the ground this season, including senior Matt McMillan with 397 on 70 carries. Junior Jake Burch is the quarterback, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completed 60 of 104 passes for 866 yards and eight touchdowns. Defensively, the Blue Devils are strong as well, and they have only given up 20 points total in their last three games. For P-O, this will be the end of a difficult season, but the Mounties have played hard throughout. New coach Mike Soyster said his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practices have been productive and his players are taking things one game at a time. It will be a challenge for the P-O offense â&#x20AC;&#x201D; led by Jake Anderson and Tanner Lamb â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to keep up with Bellwood, but the Mounties can move the ball. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. in Bellwood.

Goodfriends brings prints to Palmer Museum of Art By STEPHANIE SWINDLE Special to the Gazette
UNIVERSITY PARK — Art history professors, drawing students and print enthusiasts recently gathered in the Drs. Albert and Lorraine Kligman Print and Drawing Study Room at the Palmer Museum of Art for Jim and Carol Goodfriend’s annual visit. The couple, owners of C & J Goodfriend Drawings and Prints, have made an annual trip to Penn State for 12 years, bringing with them works by old masters such as Albrecht Dürer and Rembrandt, pieces by American realists, 19th-century French works and, occasionally, even a Picasso. “This is the best day we’ve had at Penn State!” exclaimed Carol Goodfriend. “So many students!” Paul Chidester, associate professor of art in the Penn State School of Visual Arts, brought his 2-D drawing students to see the table full of different examples of prints and drawings. Many of the students asked questions and even sketched details in their notebooks. Andrew Schulz, associate dean for research in the College of Arts and Architecture and associate professor of art history, along with several other art history faculty members, was in at-
tendance to browse the wealth of material, including a rare Piranesi proof impression, which the museum decided to purchase for the collection. That morning, the Goodfriends enjoyed a visit from Patrick McGrady’s history of printmaking class. McGrady, Charles V. Hallman curator and affiliate assistant professor of art history, explained the Goodfriends’ long association with the museum, dating back to the 1970s when they made their first print donations. The Goodfriends also have donated a print study collection to the museum for teaching purposes. “Many prints have gotten rare and expensive, and you have to handle them very carefully,” said Jim Goodfriend, “but that’s not how you learn about them. The purpose of the study collection is to give students prints that they can touch to find out what 17thcentury Dutch paper feels like, that they can lift to see the watermarks that appear when they hold them up to the light, that they can turn over to see what is printed or written on the backs of them. Although many of these study prints are damaged in some way and not worth much on the market, they are worth a great deal educationally speaking.”
After 46 years in the business and trips around the country selling prints, the Goodfriends have limited their travel and are now focused on their website store and print fairs in New York City, where they reside. Jim Goodfriend’s advice to aspiring print collectors is simple: “Find out what you like. Look, and keep looking. Don’t buy on the basis of a name or monetary value. When you can look at one, and say, ‘I’d really like to look at this every day of my life,’ then buy it or as close to it as you can afford.” A classical music critic and record producer in his earlier years, Goodfriend became interested in prints by doing exactly what he advises. He started by collecting music-themed prints and branched out from there. Now, as dealers, he and his wife offer prints spanning the last 500 years of art history up to the 1950s. Carol Goodfriend expressed her satisfaction at seeing a new generation taking interest in drawings and prints. Ever the enthusiast, her advice to novices was to visit www.drawingsand prints.com, which has a section on how to buy drawings and prints as well as numerous carefully annotated online exhibitions.

Maurer exhibit being held at Betsy Rodgers Allen Gallery STATE COLLEGE — What do exotic Hawaiian plants and mountain streams of Pennsylvania have in common? They all come to life in the refined works of Diane Maurer, whose paper art and collage will be on display in Schlow Library’s Betsy Rodgers Allen Gallery during November. Maurer is a mixed-media artist who specializes in creating images on paper using a variety of design techniques. Her collages combine marbling with orizomegami (fold and dye), as well as paste paper design. Cutting and layering the decorative papers she creates, Maurer achieves a 3-D effect, bringing various images from nature to life. Maurer’s art has been exhibited throughout the United States and in Europe and Asia. She has made guest appearances on several television shows, including “Martha Stewart Living.” Maurer has taught collage and surface design techniques in a number of venues, and is the author of 13 books about paper art and collage. The Betsy Rodgers Allen Gallery is open to the public during Schlow’s business hours, and admission is free.

WPSU snags Mid-Atlantic Emmy UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State Public Media, WPSU, has won a 2014 MidAtlantic Emmy award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. These regional awards recognize local productions for excellence in television programming. Mark Stitzer received an Individual Achievement Emmy in the Photographer– Program category. Stitzer’s entry submission included video clips from “Water Blues, Green Solutions,” an interactive film project telling the stories of communities creating solutions for water “blues” — flooding, pollution and scarcity. Additionally, WPSU’s Jeffrey A. Hughes was one of six people honored by being inducted into the inaugural class of the 2014 National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Silver Circle. The new award was created to honor those within the Mid-Atlantic chapter who have been valuable colleagues, mentors,
contributors and advocates in the television industry. Hughes has been working at Penn State Public Media since 1987. He earned a MidAtlantic Emmy for Best Entertainment Program/Special in 2010 for “Music Theatre Spotlight,” a program that showcases the senior class of Penn State’s renowned musical theater degree program. Hughes also won an Emmy in 2009 as executive producer for “Making the Blue Band,” a behind-the-scenes film that follows incoming freshmen through auditions and the grueling days of band camp as they pursue their goal of playing in the Penn State Blue Band. The Mid-Atlantic Emmy Awards, now in their 32nd year, recognize excellence in programming and individual achievement in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and parts of West Virginia and Ohio. Winners were announced at a ceremony on Sept. 20 at the Philadelphia Hilton.

PSU alum wins major Central Pennsylvania Festival of American first book prize the Arts elects officers, directors STATE COLLEGE — The 2014 American Poetry Review/Honickman First Book Prize has been awarded to Katherine BodeLang, a graduate of Penn State’s creative writing MFA program. Bode-Lang’s manuscript, “The Reformation,” was chosen by Pulitzer Prizewinning poet Stephen Dunn and is being released this month. Bode-Lang, who previously taught in the English department as a lecturer, joined the Office for Research Protections as an IT trainer this July. Previously, she was assistant director of the Methodology Center in Penn State’s College of Health and Human Development for four years. In an interview with the blog MFA Day Job, Bode-Lang said, “I’m fortunate to have had very open-minded supervisors. That is, people who were willing to see my potential, not just my poetry degree.” In his introduction to the book, Stephen Dunn writes, “One of the classic tricks of actors is when you want to get the attention of your audience, you lower, not raise,
your voice. Katherine Bode-Lang’s work is not a trick — her lowered voice kept attracting me.” Julia Spicher Kasdorf, Penn State professor of English and women’s studies, said, “Katherine Bode-Lang writes with the rational KATHERINE mind of Calvin, the BODE-LANG passionate heart of Luther, and the bravery of her own body. Driven by difficulty and dissent, haunted by ‘all the small/ openings for death,’ her lines turn gorgeous and furious, intelligent and belligerent, witty and wise. This poet abhors a lie, and by insisting on the truth of her own experience, she finds ways to reform the old stories of family, faith, sex and most of all, love. I cannot remember reading a first book as painfully honest and beautiful as this.”

Getting a mortgage in new lending environment The 2008 real estate bust led to the “Great Recession.” Banks were lending 100 percent on homes to people who couldn’t afford it. The issue was that everyone believed real estate would always go up and that everyone should own a home — the reality is that home prices don’t go up forever, and eventually the bubble burst. Just as with any regulatory environment, when times are good, the rules get loose. Times have changed and now the pendulum has swung Judy Loy, is CEO at too far the other away.

should do this long before you begin the process of looking for a loan. This will give you time to correct mistakes or improve upon your credit record. It is vital to make all payments on time and use credit. This means charging things on a credit card and always paying it off every month. This shows an ability to use credit intelligently and responsibly. It is important to keep your oldest credit card open. This maintains a long credit history on your statement. In addition, different kinds of credit are important. Paying for a car loan, student debt and any credit cards (revolving loans) will contribute to a good credit score. In contrast, don’t overextend yourself with loans or credit, because taking on too much is never a good idea. Having a good credit score will help you get credit and a lower interest rate, and can even help with getting insurance. It is always in your best interest. When looking for a house, really take a hard look at your budget. Your dream home may be out of range and the bank may be willing to give you a
loan that will stretch your budget. It is better to go for a loan that is for less than you can afford. Don’t forget to include taxes, upkeep and insurance in your equation. Also, keep in mind that at such low interest rates and with the expectation that they will go up, a fixed-rate loan is the only thing that makes sense right now. When you do find a home, check comparable homes recently sold in the neighborhood. The most expensive home in the neighborhood may not be appraised high enough to cover your loan. Banks now have to hire outside appraisers who may not know the area, particularly in State College. It seems to be one of the major issues with house loans: the appraisal doesn’t come in at the agreed-upon purchase price, so the loan is not approved. It is important to have a down payment for the house you want. A 20 percent down payment is necessary in the current environment; it will help in getting a loan and obtaining a better interest rate. You’ll want to start early and put money in a savings account to prepare for buying
How the ‘five Ps’ of integrated marketing helped sell $800 sneakers DAVID M. MASTOVICH
Have you heard about Buscemi, the brand of $800 sneakers? The year-old shoe is a “must have” for hip hop artists and other celebrities, twice selling out its entire inventory in a matter of days. How did Buscemi achieve so much, so fast? The company leveraged each of the “five Ps” of integrated marketing: n Product — Buscemis are unique. The shoes are solid-colored leather with golden padlocks and a tiny key to open them. You can’t miss the “Made in Italy” wording on the tongue and the understated Buscemi logo on the side. David M. n Position — These are the Louis Mastovich is Vuitton of sneakers. A luxury brand for president of the rich and famous to have, and wanMASSolutions Inc. nabes to want. For more n Price — At $800, the sneakers are information, so costly that only the wealthy can afvisit www.mas ford them, thereby furthering the luxsolutions.biz. ury brand position. In fact, co-founder Jon Buscemi has said in interviews that he’s not selling to
just anyone who wants the shoes. n Placement — Buscemi takes the sneaker industry’s limited edition marketing strategy to the extreme. The brand is based on scarcity, one of marketing expert and social scientist Dr. Robert Cialdini’s “principles of influence.” Only 4,000 pairs were released in each of the first two production runs via a select group of hip retailers. The shoes sold out in a couple of days and were unavailable for months in between, stoking demand even more. n Promotion — The company relied on word-of-mouth buzz initially followed by “star PR.” Justin Bieber posted his Buscemis on Instagram, while hip hop artist 2 Chainz rapped about the shoes. The buzz continues to grow. What’s the takeaway for you and your company? You’re not selling and probably not buying $800 sneakers. But whether you work in health care, education, manufacturing or retail, you definitely need to leverage the “five Ps” of integrated marketing. Your marketing should create the customer experience and drive, not support, your selling process. Your brand position must be clear and make an emotional impact. Messaging should involve and revolve around your customers. Pricing and distribution must be consistent with your integrated marketing goals. In other words, make your product or service a “must have” for your target customer.
Shaping the Future Summit event held UNIVERSITY PARK — Students and community members gathered in Schwab Auditorium the evening of Oct. 23 to take in real and actionable career and financial advice from two famous Penn State alumni. Thomson Reuters Money Editor Lauren Young, as the event’s host, interviewed Andy Sieg, head of Global Wealth and Retirement Solutions (GWRS) for Bank of America Merrill Lynch. The pair discussed the topic of “Your Career, Your Impact” as part of the Schreyer Honors College Shaping the Future Summit 2015. Schreyer Honors College Dean Christian M.M. Brady began the event by noting that this week marked the 27th
anniversary of the stock market crash in 1987. William Schreyer was the head of Merrill Lynch at the time and was key in the market’s bounce back and calming the public’s concern. Dean Brady concluded his remarks by asking the audience, “Where is today’s William Schreyer?” Sieg started the discussion by telling students to erase pre-conceived notions about industry sectors and prepare for a long and dynamic career. “Your career is going to be 50 percent longer than you think it will be. There’s plenty of time to pursue your passion now,” Sieg said.

a home. You will need the 20 percent down payment plus additional money to cover any closing costs, furniture and other expenses that come with owning a home. When the time has come to begin looking for your home, a pre-qualification letter from your lender of choice will pave the way. A seller and real estate agent will want to know that you have the ability to get a loan that’s big enough to cover the price of the real estate they are showing you. Having this letter doesn’t make getting a loan easier, but it does help sellers and real estate agents take you seriously. The bottom line — when you find the real estate you want and your offer is accepted, that’s when the real fun starts. Be ready to sign forms in triplicate, prove your income (particularly if you are self-employed) and hit many speed bumps along the way. It’s a long process, so be sure to give your lender plenty of time for approval before close. To speed up the process, getting the bank any documentation it needs immediately can help.
Ethical behavior can be contagious, study says UNIVERSITY PARK — A new study from Penn State Smeal College of Business faculty members Steven Huddart, Smeal Chair Professor of Accounting and Department of Accounting chair, and Hong Qu, an associate professor of accounting, examines the power of social influence on managers’ ethical behavior. The researchers found that managers tend to become more honest after observing honest peers and more dishonest after observing dishonest peers. Through their research, Huddart and Qu found a connection between honest behavior and the desire to obey social norms. In absence of information about peers, they found, “People with a greater tendency to conform to social norms are, on average, more honest.” However, the researchers found that managers tend to adjust their responses based on information about their peers. If managers find that their peers are acting more honestly, those managers adjust to be more honest. On the other hand, if managers find that their peers are acting more dishonestly, the managers adjust to be less honest. The more that a person was found likely to conform to social norms, the more this variation was evident. “Our study shows the importance of social information in shaping actions. In particular, we identify one channel through which social information affects behavior, that is, the motivation to conform to the actions of others,” they wrote. “The observation of others can lead to behavior changes in different ways because the behavior of others can establish benchmarks for social comparisons in multiple dimensions.” “Rotten Apples and Sterling Examples: Moral Reasoning and Peer Influences on Honesty in Managerial Reporting” is forthcoming and is available for download at http:// papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2133072.

Financial options available for student start-up businesses UNIVERSITY PARK — Unless student entrepreneurs have generous friends and family or happen to stumble upon some angel investors — people who invest money and expect no repayment — chances are that they’ll need some financial help to launch a business. Traditional investments from banks and venture capitalists can provide large sums of money, but often at the cost of exorbitant loan repayments and large percentages of equity in your company.
Thus, most entrepreneurs prefer alternative sources of funding and only use the traditional means as a last resort. Penn State’s Small Business Development Center, with its experienced consultants and network of campus and community partners, can help in the search for alternative funding to start a business. Free consulting is available by appointment or drop-in at Kunkle Lounge from 4 to 5 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There are other great resource available
to Penn State student entrepreneurs, too. Crowdfunding — raising many small amounts of money from a large number of people — has grown in popularity over the last several years. According to Penn State’s Office of Annual Giving, crowdfunding raised more than $5 billion last year worldwide, making it the number one channel for raising money online. Penn State began the SparkPlug program in 2011, offering grants of up to $500 to student groups to help start their own

crowdfunding campaigns. This year, the university is going a step further by partnering with USEED to host its own crowdfunding platform for student organizations, faculty-led research projects and other university programs. Teams will be accepted into the USEED program each semester and will be mentored in crowdfunding before launching their own 30-day campaign on the platform. According to USEED, teams that go through their program average $5,000 raised per campaign. Lion Launch Pad helps student entrepreneurs create companies out of innovative product and service ideas. It provides selected teams with rent-free workspace, mentorship from skilled professionals both on-campus and in the community, and funding in three different forms: nopayback seed grants of up to $500, loans and equity investments at 1 percent for every $1,000 invested. Teams comprised of more than 51 percent Penn State students are eligible to apply. Those interested in testing the viability of a product or service idea in a certain market should consider applying for a research grant. Most colleges at the university will offer grants to help defray research costs for undergraduate students if the work pertains to academia. Students should ask their advisers about upcoming business competitions and programs. For example, the College of Agricultural Sciences holds the Ag Springboard business plan competition annually, offering $7,500 and a spot with Lion Launch Pad to the winning team. Then there’s the 1,000 Pitches competition, hosted at Penn State by Innoblue. The contest collects short video pitches for businesses or solutions to world issues in nine different categories and awards $1,000 to the winner of each category. For more tips about alternative fundraising from successful entrepreneurs, don’t forget to join the SBDC for Penn State’s Global Entrepreneurship Week, Sunday, Nov. 16, to Thursday, Nov. 20, for a series of informational and interactive events directed at students and community members interested in entrepreneurship.
