Local entrepreneurial spirit awakens By HARRY ZIMBLER
correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — Todd Erdley’s passion for economic development and entrepreneurship is hard to ignore. There’s a bounce in his step and a sparkle in his eye when he talks about CREN, a group he founded four years ago. The Centre Region Entrepreneurial Network has an audacious goal: To generate $3 billion in private economic output by 2033 in the Centre Region. Erdley, who is president and CEO of Videon Central in State College, feels that the relationship between Penn State’s economic output and research dollars, and the region’s private output is woefully out of balance. “There has been a significant awakening in this area about the shift in the economy,” Erdley explained. “If you look at the top employers from 15 years ago, you see that many of them are no longer here. The employment
structure is heavily dependent on Penn State.” To underscore this notion, Erdley cites the fact that 15 years ago, the region created $1 billion in private industry economic output. Today, that figure is about $250 million. “It’s a horrible balance,” said Erdley. “Fourteen years ago, 46 percent of our economy was generated by Penn State. Today that is around 59 percent. Fourteen years ago, private industry provided 28 percent of the economic activity. Today that figure hovers at 7 percent.” Private industry is getting crushed in the region. Jobs have moved from manufacturing to Penn State, healthcare, and retail. “If this trend continues, that’s the definition of a company town. It’s time to invest in the private industry piece of the economy and change the dialogue. Either that, or we build more pizza and T-shirt shops in downtown State College.” For the past four years, this
pany sitting down with high-energy successful entrepreneurs is fantastic. CREN will play a role in what we are calling the EcoSystem of Entrepreneurship. The social aspect is very important and allows for a real exchange of ideas, energy, and input. We see a real mix of activities locally and the pace is accelerating.” “We’re the new breed,” said Erdley. “We are going to make life better in this region. Job growth leads to growth elsewhere.” At the October meeting of CREN, there were representatives from existing businesses, newly established companies, Ben Franklin Technology Partners, the Borough Of State College, the Small Business Development Center, Penn State’s Office of Technology Management, Innovation Park, New Leaf Initiative, student groups like InnoBlue and more. “CREN is a perfect match of networking and entrepreneurs supporting each other,” said Vidmar. “A high energy bland of suc-
is the message that Erdley and CREN have been preaching. The message has apparently been heard. At the most recent meeting of CREN, more than 75 individuals attended, including economic developers, entrepreneurs, and business owners. “We are trying to drive job growth in this region. And if we do it right, everyone will benefit. Bankers, real estate professionals, accountants, homebuilders, road builders, and everyone in the local economy. We want more opportunity for everyone,” Erdley said. John Vidmar, director of the Ben Franklin Transformation Business Services Network, is on board with CREN. “The Centre Region is showing a lot of signs of new ideas and new startup company activity,” said Vidmar. “A lot of the commercialization activity coming out of the university recently has really started to take hold.

BELLEFONTE — If you’re a competitive athlete looking for an edge or just a weekend warrior trying to fight the battle of the bulge, there’s a new game in town. Elite Edge Athletics, owned by John Kmiecinski, recently opened at 214 W. High St. in Bellefonte. Elite Edge, Page 6

Some staff additions include a new human resources director on site, a new director of nursing on site, two assistant directors of nursing, an external case manager, internal and external admissions staff, a
HARRISBURG — Penn State said Monday it is paying $59.7 million to 26 young men over claims of child sexual abuse at the hands of former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, a man once revered as a university icon who is now serving what is effectively a life prison sentence. Nearly two years after the retired coach was first charged with child molestation, the school said 23 deals were fully signed and three were agreements in principle. It did not disclose the names of the recipients. The school faces six other claims, and the university says it believes some of those do not have merit while others may produce settlements. University president Rodney Erickson issued a statement calling the announcement a step forward for victims and the school. “We cannot undo what has been done, but we can and must do everything possible to learn from this and ensure it never happens again at Penn State,” said Erickson, who announced the day Sandusky was convicted in June 2012 that Penn State was determined to compensate his victims. The settlements have been unfolding since mid-August, when attorneys for the accusers began to disclose them. Penn State has not been confirming them, waiting instead to announce deals at once.

Police investigating rape, sex assaults By STEVE BAUER StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — The Penn State University Police department is investigating a reported rape that happened sometime last January. The alleged assault took place in a field adjacent to Innovation Park, about a mile from the University Park campus. The victim told investigators she knows the man who assaulted her. According to police, the woman and the alleged assailant went to the field by mutual agreement sometime late at night. Penn State University Police Chief Tyrone Parham says the investigation is just getting under way and that no arrests have been made. The victim, who is not a student, told police she was sexually assaulted sometime between Jan. 1 and Jan. 30. Although the incident was reported nine months after the fact, Parham says that makes no difference. “We want victims to know it’s never too late to report a rape. Nationally, it’s one of the most under-reported crimes.� Police ask that people take the following precautions: n Do not walk alone. Please call 814-
865-WALK, for a free security escort n Report suspicious behavior to University Police immediately n If you feel you are in an unsafe environment, get to a safe place immediately and call for help If you have any information this sexual assault please contact Penn State University Police at (814) 863-1111. You can also submit a tip to Centre County Crimestoppers at this email address: tip@centrecountycrimestoppers.org.

Police say the rape occurred sometime in the early morning hours of Sunday. No other information could be provided by police about the assaults.

Judge to issue ruling on Paterno family lawsuit By MARK SCOLFORO The Associated Press
BELLEFONTE — A Pennsylvania judge said Tuesday he would decide later whether to allow a lawsuit against the NCAA filed by the family of longtime Penn State football coach Joe Paterno and others to go forward. After hearing more than three hours of arguments, Judge John B. Leete said he planned to issue a written opinion but did not say when. A lawyer for college sports’ governing body urged him to throw out the complaint. The lawsuit and the court are “a poor forum for the venting of frustration, and the NCAA should not be made the scapegoat for the errors and omissions of university officials,” NCAA lawyer Everett Johnson said. Leete is considering a host of issues, including whether Penn State itself is an indispensable party to the lawsuit, which challenges the NCAA penalties imposed on Penn State as a result of the Jerry Sandusky child-molestation scandal. The Paterno family — joined by four university trustees, four faculty members, nine former players and two former coaches — allege breach of contract, contract interference, defamation, civil conspiracy Settlements, from page 1 Harrisburg lawyer Ben Andreozzi, who helped negotiate several of the settlements, said his clients were satisfied. “They felt that the university treated them fairly with the economic and noneconomic terms of the settlement,” said Andreozzi, who also represents some others who have come forward recently. Those new claims have not been presented to the university, he said. One client represented by St. Paul, Minn., attorney Jeff Anderson signed off on an agreement in the past week and the other is basically done, he said. Anderson counts his two clients as among the three that have been classified as agreements in principle, which Penn State said means final documentation is expected to be completed in the next few weeks. Anderson said his clients were focused on Penn State’s changes to prevent future
and commercial disparagement. A lawyer for the plaintiffs, Joseph Loveland, called the sanctions “coercion and a cram-down of the highest order.” He said his clients wanted to compare the Penn State matter with how the NCAA has handled other cases. “The truth of the matter is they were acting completely in uncharted waters with nothing whatsoever to support them on it,” Loveland said. The court session was held a day after Penn State announced $59.7 million in settlements with 26 young men over claims of abuse by Sandusky, who was the school’s longtime defensive coach. He was convicted last year of 45 counts of child sexual abuse and is serving a lengthy state prison sentence. Paterno’s estate and family and the other plaintiffs filed the lawsuit in May, saying the NCAA had no authority to impose sanctions based on criminal matters that were not related to the sports it oversees. Paul Kelly, another lawyer for the plaintiffs, explained how former coaches Jay Paterno and William Kenney were harmed by comments critical of the way the coaching staff handled Sandusky. Being the subject of the NCAA’s legal settlement with Penn State makes a person “radioactive in the coaching world, and
most other programs aren’t going to want to touch you,” Kelly said. Tuesday’s arguments also centered on the procedures the NCAA used to determine penalties. “They cut a new path with this case, no question about it,” Leete told the lawyers. The lawsuit seeks a court order voiding the agreement between the NCAA and Penn State last year, which included a $60 million fine, a four-year ban on post-season play and the elimination of 112 wins during the final years of the Paterno era. It also imposed a temporary reduction in scholarships, a penalty the NCAA softened last month. Johnson said the erasure of Paterno’s wins was not a sanction against Paterno. “Coach Paterno doesn’t own those wins,” Johnson said. “Those are wins at Penn State University at a time when he was an employee.” Paterno died in January 2012 — about two months after Sandusky’s arrest — of complications from lung cancer. The university took down a statue in his honor outside Beaver Stadium, although the school library and other facilities still bear the name of the coach who spent six decades at Penn State. His son Scott Paterno, a lawyer, was in the courtroom for the hearing but declined to comment afterward.
abuse. “I have to applaud them, because they said ‘not until we’re satisfied that no one else will get hurt,’” Anderson said. “The settlement of their cases in no way heals, in no way lessens the wound that remains open and the scars that are deep.” Penn State has spent more than $50 million on other costs related to the Sandusky scandal, including lawyers’ fees, public relations expenses, and adoption of new policies and procedures related to children and sexual abuse complaints. It said Monday that liability insurance is expected to cover the payments and legal defense, and expenses not covered should be paid from interest paid on loans by Penn State to its self-supporting units. Clifford Rieders, a Williamsport attorney who negotiated one of the settlements, said the average payout matched other cases involving child abuse in educational or religious settings.
Rieders said the cases raised the specter of embarrassing revelations if they went to trial, and a university would have to consider the effect on the victims, its overall reputation, its ability to pay and its wider objectives. “There are many considerations whenever you resolve a high-profile case involving serious misconduct, and I’m sure all of those and more came into play here,” Rieders said. Sandusky, 69, has been pursuing appeals while he serves a 30- to 60-year sentence on 45 criminal counts. He was convicted of abusing 10 boys, some of them at Penn State facilities. Eight young men testified against him, describing a range of abuse they said went from grooming and manipulation to fondling, oral sex and anal rape when they were boys. The 32 claimants involved in negotiations with Penn State include most of the

Sandusky maintains his innocence, but a mid-level state appeals court recently turned down his request for a new trial. The abuse scandal rocked Penn State, leading the board of trustees to fire Paterno and resulting in the unprecedented sanctions against the famous football program. Three former Penn State administrators await trial in Harrisburg on charges they engaged in a criminal cover-up of the scandal. Former President Graham Spanier, retired Vice President Gary Schultz and retired athletic director Tim Curley deny the allegations. A trial date has not been scheduled. victims from the criminal trial and some who say they were abused by Sandusky many years ago. Negotiations were conducted in secret, so the full range of the allegations wasn’t disclosed publicly. Sandusky did not testify at his trial but has long asserted his innocence. He has acknowledged he showered with boys but insisted he never molested them.

Tynan concert will benefit Bob Perks Fund By SAMI HULINGS shulings@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — Acclaimed Irish tenor Ronan Tynan will bring his unique voice and world-class musical talent to the State Theatre on Nov. 8, in a concert benefiting the Bob Perks Cancer Assistance Fund and the nonprofit theatre.
IF YOU GO WHO: Fans of classical Irish music or classical music WHAT: Ronan Tynan, a benefit concert WHERE: The State Theatre WHEN: 8 p.m., Nov. 8 WHY: those wishing to support the Bob Perks Fund and The State Theatre
Sponsored by Automated Records Centre of Bellefonte, the idea for the concert came to the Michael Sullivan, the president of the records storage and management services company, after his mother passed away from cancer two years ago. Though his parents were able to take care of the financial burden that comes with a cancer diagnosis, Sullivan said his family saw many people undergoing the same treatment as his mother who didn’t have the means. After hearing of the Bob Perks Fund and all that it does for those in need, Sullivan thought using his Irish heritage to help the fund would be the best way to honor his mother’s memory. “I was the driving force to bring Ronan Tynan to State College for the fundraiser,” he said. Sullivan was also instrumental in

choosing the State Theatre as the location for the fundraiser. According to Sullivan, the theatre can seat up to 571 people and is the only nonuniversity venue that can hold that many patrons. This, combined with the nonprofit theatre’s goal to aid other local nonprofits, made it the best location for the concert. All proceeds from the concert will be split between the Bob Perks Fund and the State Theatre. “As much as we need to help cancer patients, we need this venue in town as well to help continue to support a lot of the other nonprofits in town,” Sullivan said. Norma Keller, executive director of the Bob Perks Fund, said sharing this benefit with the theatre is a true honor for the cancer fund organization. “It will be a wonderful community event,” she said. Keller said joining with the theatre to hold this concert will also help to broaden fundraising opportunities for the Bob Perks Fund, as the audience will greatly differ from that of the Bob Perks Fund Tailgate Party. “We try to hold a number of events through the year to raise funds for families with a cancer diagnosis who are struggling to make day-to-day expenses,” she said. “For us, the more broad-based the fundraising event, the more likely we are to raise awareness about the Bob Perks Fund and the more likely we are to tap into donors who have a broad interest.” Sullivan agreed, saying it is important for nonprofits to offer variety in their SM events as a way to reach a broad audience. “It’s critical that the community at large understands some of the resources that are available to them out there,” he said. “It’s a great evening. It’s eye-opening. You will become a little bit more aware of what the community is doing at large.” According to Keller, attracting different audiences and increasing awareness of the effort will provide the Bob Perks Fund with more opportunities to help cancer patients in Centre, Blair, Huntingdon and

We’re impacting on different groups because of the nature of the event,” she said. Though Sullivan and Keller both hope the community comes out and recognizes that Tynan is a world-class entertainer, the two hope those in attendance really recognize they are supporting the community at large. Keller believes the events will increase the Bob Perks Fund’s revenue by more than $6,000, allowing the organization to continue serving families throughout the remainder of the year and into next year. “Having an event like this, being a part of helping to foster new events to help the Bob Perks Fund has a dramatic impact on helping local families,” Keller said. “All of this is increasing our resources to help the families that we are serving.” To order tickets to the Ronan Tynan concert, visit thestatetheatre.org.

The service will be provided by ExpressJet Airlines and use 50-seat regional jet aircraft. “We are thrilled with the addition of this new service,� said Bryan Rogers, director of the University Park Airport. “United is convinced that this new service will work and they want it to last.� “Airlines have limited resources, and they want to make the most of them,� said James Meyer, director of the Centre County Airport Authority. “United initiated the
conversation about the new service and we were invited to go to Chicago to discuss it at their (corporate) headquarters. They had already looked us over and had an interest.� Both Meyer and Rodgers spend considerable time and energy on attracting new airlines and new flights and services to University Park. “We are always working towards new air service,� said Meyer. “And we have high hopes that by next fall, United will add a third direct flight to Chicago. This is our first new service since the Atlanta service in 2007.� That service lasted less than a year due to challenging economic conditions and the merger of Delta and Northwest. The new Chicago service fits nicely into
United’s current service to Washington, D.C.’s Dulles Airport. It will allow easier access to international travel. Airlines most profitable ticketing comes in international service. One big plus of the new service is the impact it will have on the business community in the region extending from Williamsport to Altoona and DuBois, they said. “We reached out to the business community to determine the level of interest in service to Chicago,� said Rodgers. “Many local businesses are supportive of the new service and will use it.� Rogers has also worked with the Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County to bring aware-
ness of the airport’s economic impact on the region. Penn State’s transportation needs are a factor in the enterprise. First, there is the large international student population. In fact, the highest percentage of international students — by far — travel to Shanghai, China. Nearly 40 percent of international students are Chinese. In addition, Big Ten travel for athletics and academic meetings will be made far more convenient with the addition of the new Chicago service. According to a report prepared for United, Chicago is already the third most Chicago, Page 6

Local woman saves $1,316 on MRI! Sue P. keeps in shape by jogging after work, but her knee really hurt after a bad fall. Her doctor scheduled an MRI at the local hospital. She checked on her insurance company’s web site and found that her full deductible of $2,000 remained. She checked the cost of the hospital MRI and was shocked at the $1,827 price, since it was her responsibility to pay this amount. On the same website she noticed that the cost at 611 MRI was $511. Sue quickly realized that she could pay $1,316 less for the same exam.

PSU board ready to vote on president By The Associated Press STATE COLLEGE — Penn State University trustees appear poised to vote on a new president almost two years to the day since its longtime president was ousted in the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. In a legal notice published Wednesday, the board announced a special meeting Friday to consider the resolution of a personnel matter. According to the board’s website, it is only responsible for one position at the school: the president. University spokeswoman Lisa Powers says the board plans to hold a news conference following the meeting. A group of trustees has been working with a headhunter firm to choose a successor to President Rodney Erickson, who plans to retire by June. Ex-President Graham Spanier was ousted in November 2011 after Sandusky, a former assistant football coach, was arrested. Chicago, from page 5 traveled-to domestic market for University Park Airport passengers, behind Orlando, Florida and Los Angeles. In international travel, the top-ranked market served is Shanghai, followed by London, Seoul and Beijing. Flights to Chicago will make connections to Houston easier. That, in turn, will make it more convenient for the Marcellus natural gas industry to conduct business in Pennsylvania. Houston is the location of many shale gas and oil company headquarters. An economic impact study conducted by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation determined that Pennsylvania’s airport system contributed $23.6 billion to the state’s economy in 2010. The study found that Pennsylvania’s public-use airports support approximately 304,462 jobs, generating $9.2 million in annual payroll. About 1,000 Pennsylvania businesses were surveyed to measure the importance of certain factors when planning relocation or expansion. Of these, 78 percent said having a commercial service airport nearby is an important factor in choosing a business location, while 54 percent said having a general aviation airport is important.

maintenance position, and number of nursing graduates, among other positions, the board said. “It’s been quite a few three or four months,” board president Betsy Boyer said. “We are ready to receive the key next week.” Boyer said it is the goal of the board to be more “handson” with the facility, which she foresees happening with the addition of staff. “(We are) getting staffing back where it needs to be,” she said. Board member Sally Walker said the majority of previous Centre Crest staff chose to transition, resulting in low staff turnover. Boyer said the board functions by the idea that the facility is only as good as its staff, so it conducted several meetand-greets with staff throughout the past few months to help them feel more comfortable about coming to the board with questions or concerns. “We’re more visible there,” she said. Painting and other maintenance has been done, or is in the process of being done, in order to improve the general appearance of the facility, Boyer said. A variety of equipment has been updated as well. Following some of these updates, Boyer said she sees a “marked difference” in how the facility looks. The staff and the facility upgrades, she said, aim to “make it the facility what it can and should be.” Board member Al Jones said the board had a lot to learn, but received excellent guidance throughout the process. The knowledge and skills of the board, and its “commitment to dig in,” are “remarkable,” he said. Addressing an inquiry from an attendee about the current interim administrator, Boyer said the board is in the process of looking for someone to fill the administrator position permanently. Regarding a question about resident population, Boyer said the census is certainly up, but the facility is capped at 225 residents until it has the staff that can handle a full house. Full capacity is 240 residents, she said. “As we get the staffing that we need we will increase (our residents),” she said. In terms of how the transition will affect residents, Boyer said it is her hope that residents do not notice any difference in the facility. And if they do, she hopes it is positive differences. All of the new staff, plus the services offered at Centre Crest, she said, are components to “make it home.” Complete HealthCare Resources-Eastern Inc., a company that offers consulting services for elder care communities, assisted the board with the transition. For more information about CHR visit www.completehealthcareresources.com. Centre Crest, located on Howard Street in Bellefonte, has provided short-term and long-term nursing care for more than 73 years. The facility’s main building opened in 1939 and was expanded in 1964 and 1972, and was extensively renovated throughout 1996, according to Centre County’s website. The transition will take place at 2 p.m. on Friday at the facility. For more information visit call (814) 355-6758.
Elite Edge Athletics offers a variety of services. Kmiecinski said the facility will focus on sports performance training, adult fitness classes and personal training. “We specialize in young athletes from (age) 9 all the way through college and the professional ranks,” he said. “We also offer personal training, which is mainly targeted at adults. Soon, we’ll be offering adult fitness classes.” According to Kmiecinski, the mission at Elite Edge is to develop dynamic athletes by implementing a wide variety of integrated and progressive exercises. There are many individualized programs with an attention to detail to ensure that an athlete’s performance goals are achieved. Kmiecinski is hoping that Elite Edge will fill a void in the community. “I’m passionate about fitness and helping people get where they want to be,” he said. “We’re going to be very community-oriented.” Kmiecinski has the resumé to back up his efforts. He worked at California University of Pennsylvania as a strength coach and from there moved on to a pair of private sector facilities. “I really just fell in love with it,” he said. Although he’s originally from the Hazelton area, he knew he wanted to open his facility in Bellefonte. “When I came to Bellefonte, we walked around and I said, ‘I think this is where I want to open up.’ You have (Talleyrand) Park, which is just beautiful. We’re on a busy street … it’s a great location,” he said. Kmiecinski is really looking forward to working with the youth of Centre County. Young children, he said, can really improve at sports as a result of specialized training. “We’ll start as young as 9. We work with their strengths and weaknesses. A lot of them have muscle imbalances or coordination issues. We just want to give everyone an opportunity to succeed at their sport,” Kmiecinski said. The facility at on High Street features a good amount of space for training and workouts. However, Kmiecinski said he plans to use some of the space at Talleyrand Park in the spring. He’s also hoping to work with some of the school districts in Centre County to acquire gym and field space. “I’d really like to get into training (sports) teams. That’s what I did in Pittsburgh. We were in about eight different school districts. We trained basketball, football and baseball teams. It was all about sports performance,” he said. Kmiecinski earned his bachelor’s degree from Penn State and is currently pursuing his master’s degree at California University of Pennsylvania. He will graduate in December. Elite Edge had its grand opening on Oct. 27. The facility will be open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. during the week, with hours by appointment on the weekend. Kmiecinski will run the facility with his business partner and fiancee, Amanda Briggs. “This has been my dream,” Kmiecinski said. “She’s really supported it.” For more information about Elite Edge, call (814) 5715025 or visit www.eliteedgeathletics.com.

Congress put on real horror show
What is even scarier this Halloween than zombies, witches, skeletons, Despicable Me, a twerking Miley Cyrus or the characters from “Breaking Bad” and “Duck Dynasty”? Congress. Last year, the National Retail Federation estimated Americans would spend $8 billion celebrating Halloween. This year, with the popular celebration coming only two weeks after the end of the 16-day government shutdown, the federation estimates spending on costumes, candy and decorations will reach $6.9 billion. Ever since more and more adults began participating in Halloween, spending had increased by over half since 2005. This year, celebrants will spend more on adult costumes, $1.22 billion, than children’s, $1.04 billion. Last year, a record 170 million consumers participated in Halloween Dale McFeatters activities. But, because of economic is a columnist for uncertainty — of which the shutdown Scripps-Howard News Service. is surely a factor — only 158 million are expected to do so. Celebrants’ per capita spending is likely to slide accordingly, from $79.82 to $75.03. One-fourth of the consumers surveyed by the federation say the state of the economy will affect their Halloween spending, with nearly 90 percent saying they will spend less overall. These figures might be of only passing interest — except that Halloween has morphed into an economic bellwether for the all-important Thanksgiving-through-Christmas shopping marathon, a make-or-break period for many retailers. Congress has an opportunity to mess that up, too, if it can’t successfully conclude a House-Senate budget conference by Dec. 13. Another government shutdown isn’t out of the question. Even the uncertainty could make for an economically anemic holiday season. For the moment, Matthew Shay, federation president, insists, “Still one of the most beloved and anticipated consumer holidays, Halloween will be far from a bust this year.” Shay might just be whistling past the graveyard. (Complete kits, including tombstones, fake cemetery fences and artificial moss, start at around $50. Scary music and lighting are extra.)

Cruz, et al., can say, ‘Told you so’ One year from today — and perhaps much sooner Sens. Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and other Republican “extremists” will look like heroes. For trying recently to defund the (un)Affordable Care Act, Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid smeared them as “anarchists,” and both liberals and some weak-kneed Republicans have offered their own denunciations. But as the S.S. Obamacare traverses dangerous seas, these brave conservatives will look increasingly like dockhands who begged passengers to avoid a reputedly invincible craft. “Stay DeRoy Murdock off the ship,” they is a columnist for Scripps-Howard shouted before it News Service. embarked. “It’s going to sink!” While the GOP’s role in this month’s partial federal shutdown has cut its public support, Republicans who stood athwart this program yelling, “Stop!” will look prescient as the Obamacare’s staterooms grow sopping wet. Its engine room already is armpit-deep in ice water. Rather than powerful pistons to propel the massive liner, healthcare.gov resembles an outboard motor that wheezes, coughs, and mainly conks out.

en journey becomes a voyage of the damned. n Plenty more Americans will get letters like the one I received Monday: “Your existing policy will end and be replaced with a new policy,” reads my insurer’s notice. “These changes are required by federal health care reform, called the Affordable Care Act.” According to Kaiser Health News, Pittsburgh’s Highmark insurance and Philadelphia’s Independence Blue Cross are canceling “guaranteed issue” policies, mainly for those with pre-existing conditions. In California, Blue Shield ended coverage for 119,000 individuals, and Kaiser Permanente tossed 160,000 people. Florida Blue terminated 300,000 men and women or 80 percent of its individual market. “Sixteen million people are now receiving letters from their carriers saying they are losing their current coverage,” explained Robert Laszewski, president of Health Policy and Strategy Associates. Corporate greed? Nope. Federal diktat. Obamacare mandates that all individual and small-group plans feature “essential health benefits,” including services for substance abuse, mental health and maternity. Plans lacking such features will be illegal and are being jettisoned. n Many Americans should expect to pay lots more for coverage. As the Manhattan Institute recently reported, women in the individual market can expect premiums to soar 62 percent next year. A 99 percent hike awaits men. The Heritage Foundation forecast that nongroup premiums will fall in Colorado, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Rhode Island. Virtually ev-
erywhere else, however, Americans will suffer. A family of four Texans can expect to pay 29.5 percent more for an average Obamacare plan, versus today’s typical coverage. A 50-year old Vermonter will face 61 percent higher premiums, while a Floridian that age will pay 75 percent more. And a 27-year-old Arizonan paying 157 percent extra for Obamacare will cry for a similar Virginian whose coverage will climb 252.5 percent. For taxpayers, Obamacare’s 10year cost has ballooned from $900 billion at enactment in March 2010 to $2.6 trillion today. This ever-expanding outlay will swell the national debt, now at $17 trillion, and growing. n This entire juggernaut needs some 2.7 million generally lowerincome young people (who usually need little medicine) to subsidize older people (who tend to have more money and need more care). When young Americans weigh this “deal,” many and probably most will remain on their parents’ plans until age 26 (which the immeasurably brilliant Obama foolishly demanded) or pay modest noncoverage penalties and savor their presumed immortality. Thus, the rivets will pop, the decks will buckle, and Obama’s mighty steamer will slide into the sea. From steerage to the smokestacks, panicked passengers increasingly will say: “We should have heeded those stevedores who insisted we remain ashore. We should have ignored the crew’s promises that we would stay afloat, no matter what.” And, by November 2014, the S.S. Obamacare’s passengers will focus their rage on the captain and his officers on the doomed vessel’s bridge.
Fear of radiation to nuclear challenge By LLEWELLYN KING
Can we learn to love radiation? Maybe not, but if we understood it better, we might not be so damned scared of it — a fear that has cost us in many ways, from where reactors are sited to how hospitals handle lifesaving nuclear material to the benefits of eradicating deadly bacteria in food. There’s a lot of data on the longterm effects of ionizing radiation, ranging from that which was generated by studying the health of survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings to the environment on the Bikini Atoll, where weapons were tested in the 1950s, to conditions at the Chernobyl meltdown site in Ukraine. The big news is that the data doesn’t support the idea that cancer and mutations will follow as night and day after exposure to high doses of radiation. Now the battle has been joined by a Harvard researcher and lecturer in public health, David R. Ropeik. He doesn’t suggest that we rush out and encourage dentists to be even more promiscuous in their use of X-rays than they are already, but he does draw attention to the epidemiological data over the past 68 years and what it says: The linkage between very high radiation exposures and cancer and mutations isn’t there. For years, it’s been postulated that radiation leads to cancer axiomatically. The data says otherwise. This glimmer of light, this pinprick, this faint glow could be the be-
ginning of a new day in nuclear, or at least encourage a new look at radiation and its effects. It comes at a time when the American Nuclear Society (ANS), the professional society for nuclear scientists and engineers, is planning a more active public role. The ANS president this year, Donald P. Hoffman, is a hard-driving nuclear advocate, who, in 1985, created the nuclear services company that he still heads, Excel. He’d like to see the 12,000 members of ANS step forward and provide honest witness in disputes about nuclear, believing that the professionals would be more believed than corporate people. He’d also like to boost public knowledge of the uses of nuclear outside of generating electricity, especially in medicine, where it is growing. Already, about one-third of hospital patients benefit from nuclear through CAT scans and MRIs to the direct application of radiation to cancer cells. This evolving therapy is less debilitating than chemotherapy or large-area radiation. Hoffman says, “We are seeing nuclear science deployed in new ways,” including nondestructive testing, food irradiation, medicine, space exploration and many more. He believes the uses for nuclear technology are only in their infancy. Outside of the hospital and the laboratory though, the big impediment to nuclear is the fear of radiation or, as popular phenomenon author Malcolm Gladwell would argue, the “fear of fear.”

Scripps-Howard News Service
In a recent New York Times piece, Ropeik salutes the Environmental Protection Agency for beginning to take a different look at how we should respond to a nuclear accident or even a terrorist “dirty bomb.” For example, because most radiation can be stopped easily, it may be better to go indoors than to begin a frenzied and hazardous evacuation. As many as 30 years ago, Dr. Mortimer Mendelssohn of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, whose life’s work has been studying the populations around Hiroshima and Nagasaki, told me that the cancers and mutations he expected simply had not occurred. “They’re just not there,” he said. At Bikini Atoll, the Pacific test site, marine life goes on. The vegetation has concentrated some long-lived radionuclides, but the marine life is healthy. At Chernobyl, the worst nuclear accident site, wildlife is teeming among the radioactive ruins. Towns within the radiation belt around Fukushima, which are now safe for their populations to return, remain deserted. The Japanese population is in the grip of a national psychosis of fear — not of earthquakes and tsunamis, but of radiation. The earthquake and tsu-nami that damaged the reactors at Fukushima killed some 18,000 people but radiation killed no one. The fear of fear is a social construct, as Gladwell and before him, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, pointed out — a mighty challenge for Hoffman and his ANS.

Women’s diets may influence breast health From Gazette staff reports HERSHEY — Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in the United States. We’ve all heard that a healthy diet reduces the risk for breast cancer, but what does a “healthy diet� mean and why is it important? “One of the most important cancer risk factors that women can have a direct effect on is their diet,� said Taryn Millette, a registered dietitian with Penn State Hershey Cancer Institute. “There is strong evidence that eating a healthy diet rich in vegetables, fruit, poultry, fish and low-fat dairy products is beneficial for a variety of health reasons, including cancer risk. These foods provide a variety of nutrients that help our bodies work in the best way possible.� Studies have shown that a Mediterra-
nean diet — one rich in nuts, fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, fish, and olive oil, with moderate amounts of red wine, which is mainly consumed during meals — protects against breast cancer through reduced oxidative stress, increased satiety, and reduced inflammation, as compared to other types of diets. Women who consume a Western diet — as characterized by sweetened drinks, tea and coffee; French fries or potato chips; salt; desserts; hydrogenated fats; and refined grains and red or other processed meat — have significantly increased breast cancer risk. Some studies suggest that a Western diet increases circulating levels of reproductive hormones that may play a role in the risk for breast cancer. “Ideally, diets should avoid refined starches and processed foods and limit
‘white’ foods like sugar, white potatoes, white rice, white pasta and refined wheat flour,� said Dr. J. Stanley Smith, a breast surgeon with Penn State Hershey Breast Center. “Instead, go for color and whole foods.� Some specific foods are gaining interest related to potential cancer prevention. Nuts high in Omega-3 fatty acids, such as walnuts, may offer protection against breast cancer. Whole grains are fermented in the gut by our microbiota, producing bioactive products. Studies to understand the role of gut microbiota on breast cancer risk are currently underway. Whole grains also are rich in antioxidants, can mediate insulin and glucose responses, and may decrease circulating levels of reproductive hormones, all of which have been linked to disease prevention.

And speaking of fermentation, sauerkraut contains factors that have specific anti-cancer properties as well. A healthy diet during adolescence may be particularly important for reducing cancer risk. This makes sense as the majority of breast development occurs during puberty. A Mediterranean diet during adolescence, such as a high-fiber diet or at least two servings of nuts per week, reduces risk for breast disease. Limiting alcohol intake may be particularly important for young women, as binge drinking in early adulthood may further exacerbate risk. So remember, eat a colorful diet, add a handful of walnuts and a serving or two of sauerkraut, and keep your alcohol intake in-check and you’ll be on your way to improving breast health.

Elnashai named new dean of College of Engineering From Gazette staff reports
UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Penn State recently announced that Amr Salah Elnashai will serve as the new dean in the College of Engineering, pending approval by the University Board of Trustees at the Nov. 22 meeting. Elnashai, currently the head of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, succeeds David N. Wormley, who announced his retirement earlier this year after more than two decades as dean. Elnashai will begin Jan. 13 at Penn State. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Penn State engineering is a premier college of national and international acclaim, and it is a huge honor for me to work with the faculty and staff to further its march of excellence,â&#x20AC;? Elnashai said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Leaving the University of Illinois is not easy; joining the Penn State family is an event that my family and I very much look forward to.â&#x20AC;? At Illinois, Elnashai is also the Bill and Elaine Hall Endowed Professor and director of hybrid simulation at the National Science Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulations (NEES) laboratory, where research is conducted on infrastructure design and construction to minimize damage from earthquakes. As head of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, he oversees 69 faculty, 50 employees, 1,330 students and an annual budget of $38 million, including $22 million in research expenditure, during the most recent fiscal year. The size of the faculty increased during Elnashaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenure as head by 30 percent, and the diversity of the faculty increased by 80 percent. The department at Illinois also grew its research budget from $17 million to the current $22 million. A fellow of the British Royal Academy of Engineering as well as the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Institution of Structural Engineers, Elnashai is the founder and co-editor of the Journal of Earthquake Engineer-
South Hills to host career day and open house
ing, which has been published for 16 years. Elnashaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technical interests are multi-resolution distributed analytical simulations, network analysis, large-scale hybrid testing, and field investigations of the response of complex networks and structures to earthquakes. He has produced more than 250 research publications, comprising 145 refereed journal papers and many conference papers, lectures, AMR ELNASHAI research reports, two books, several book chapters, magazine articles and earthquake field investigation reports. At Illinois, Elnashai also served as director of the NSFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multi-institution, interdisciplinary Mid-America Earthquake Center and the NEES laboratory, as well as director and chairman of the Council on Global Engineering Initiatives at the College of Engineering. Before coming to Illinois, he was professor of earthquake engineering and head of division at Imperial College London from 1985 to 2001. Since 1997, Elnashai has been a visiting professor at Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University of Surrey, and held other visiting professor appointments at the likes of University of Tokyo, University of Southern California and the European School for Advanced Studies in Reduction of Seismic Risk in Italy. As an educator, he designed and delivered courses such as structural earthquake engineering, structural dynamics, and bridge and building performance. At Imperial, Elnashai designed, launched and ran the master course in earthquake engineering that was the first in Europe. He has contributed to major projects for international companies and agencies such as the World Bank; GlaxoWellcome (currently GlaxoSmithKline); Shell International; AstraZeneca; British Nuclear Fuels; Greek, Italian, Indone-
sian, Pakistani, Hong Kong and Turkish government organizations; and the National Geographic Society. Elnashai has recently completed research projects for the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency, state emergency management agencies, the U.S. Agency for International Development and Istanbul Municipality. He has given interviews to media outlets such as CNN, BBC, Sky News, The Weather Channel and The Guardian (U.K.). â&#x20AC;&#x153;The breadth of his expertise and international reputation will further Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position at the forefront of engineering education,â&#x20AC;? said Rodney Erickson, PSU president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Elnashai has worldwide connections that vastly increase the potential for collaboration with institutions of higher education, government entities and private industry, preparing our students for an increasingly global landscape.â&#x20AC;? Elnashai obtained a Bachelor of Science degree from Cairo University, and his Master of Science degree and doctorate from Imperial College London (U.K.) where he received multiple honors for his work, including the Unwin Prize for the best doctoral thesis in civil and mechanical engineering. Elnashaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hobbies include scuba diving and reading about history, the history of painting and movie making.

Rediscovering Happy Valley: The State Theatre STATE COLLEGE — With his arms flailing, legs churning and head occasionally looking back, Cary Grant tried to outrun an assassin-flown airplane. I had seen this before, years ago, when I watched “North By Northwest” for the first time. The scene depicting the movie star in the masterpiece directed by Alfred Hitchcock is one of the most iconic moments in the history of cinema. It only makes sense, then, that it deJohn Patishnock serves a theatre just as is a Centre County great in which to play. native, and his Say hello to The stories on how State Theatre, a local he’s reconnecting to the area will landmark celebrating be showcased in its 75th anniversary “Rediscovering this year.

Check it out sometime. The 80-minute film was shot in
JOHN PATISHNOCK
10 takes, each up to 10 minutes, the maximum length of film a projector reel could hold at the time, and Jimmy Stewart gives a great performance. Well worth your time. Now, about The State Theatre: I love this place. The next time I ask out a girl, that’s where I’ll ask if she wants to go. If she says “no,” then I’ve just saved myself a lot of time. She’s not the one for me. The building possesses so much charm and panache that it makes you wish you could live forever, if only to continue to soak up everything The State Theatre offers: the balcony with extended opera seating, blue-shaded cushions, an upscale lobby. There’s even fabric displayed that was part of the original venue when Warner Bros. opened it in 1938. And if that’s not enough for you, there’s even locally brewed Otto’s beer available for purchase. I have this dream of someday re-launching the Starlite Drive-In Theatre on Benner Pike. When the land was sold years ago, it really was heartbreaking. At the time, I remember reading a developer planned to open a strip mall, but now the land sits vacant except for dozens of U-Haul moving trucks and vans that look as if they haven’t been used forever, like they’ve been set there as this ghastly juxtaposition of what once was and the present. That the strip mall never came to fruition, clearly, is not the point. How anyone could think tearing down a local treasure like the Starlite could make sense is beyond any reasonable explanation. I watched so many movies at the Starlite that it seems I spent half my adolescence there. When the property was sold, it was one of the most hollow feelings I ever had. In other words, the exact opposite spectrum of emotions I have when I’m at The State Theatre, especially after the building
temporarily closed its doors in 2001 before re-launching in 2006. I’ve watched 10 films there since I moved back home at the beginning of August, seeing such flicks as the 1938 movie “The Sisters,” “Annie Hall” and “The Dark Knight Rises.” Each movie evokes a different experience. It was the first time I’d seen “Annie Hall”; I left wondering if Woody Allen is really funny and I just don’t get it, or is he the best screenwriter of the last 50 years? I guess that dichotomy is what makes him so great. When I moved home, one of the first things I did was become a member of The State Theatre. Every time I get there, for the last few seconds before I walk through the front doors, I look down and see the named bricks that comprise “The Producer’s Walk.” Chances are I’ll never come across the type of money it’ll take to get the Starlite up and running again, but I’m hopeful one day I’ll be able to contribute the $10,000 necessary to become a producer at The State Theatre. In the meantime, I’m happy to spend $100 to become simply a member. John Steinbeck has this great line in “The Grapes of Wrath” that says, “Maybe man doesn’t own his own soul, only a piece of a big man.” Joe Paterno referenced this sentence in his historic Penn State commencement speech in 1973, and it’s a line I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about over the years. Maybe Steinbeck meant that everyone is already part of something so much bigger than themselves without even realizing it; judging by Paterno’s use of that line in his speech, he’s imploring Penn State graduates to know that their actions have consequences that are far more widespreading than they might realize. I’ve written a few screenplays and di-
New novel features Penn State football
What do a football player, a recurrent nightmare and the Penn State football scandal have in common? They’re all part of the newly released novel from WestBow Press, “Lion’s Awakening,” by Pennsylvania author Cindy Bingham. “Lion’s Awakening” is the story of Landon Steele, a former Penn State linebacker, who suffers a severe injury and sees his NFL career vanish. Even after four years, his life seems empty. He struggles to accept his circumstances and to awaken to the plans God still has Connie Cousins for his life. covers Centre “Lion’s AwakenCounty for the ing” was born of Centre County Gazette.

Dorado. I heard myself say, ‘I think I’d like to write a novel.’ I had never thought of that before,” she said. “A particular wild rose, that I spotted while taking a walk, was the inspiration for my first novel, but the ‘Lion’s Awakening’ book is the first novel I attempted to publish. “Sometime later, well before the events occurred in State College, I attended a teacher’s conference where a young man told his story. He had suffered an injury in football, seen his career plans end and suffered from depression. Later ... it occurred to me that the young man’s story was the basis for a novel. I plunged into it at once.” How would she weave details of the scandal and upheaval of a community into a fictional tale? By the time the disturbing events took place in State College, Bingham was 17 chapters into a 21-chapter novel. “I set the story in State College. I have always been a Penn State fan. I didn’t know what to do. I was so far into the story. A friend suggested that I use the happenings and weave them into the tale. At first I thought she was crazy, but after a while, I began to see the interesting angle in that. I went back and made the adjustments,” she said.

Both the St. David’s Writer’s Conference and the Mercer One-Day Writers’ Conference have presented her with awards.

rected a few films, though nothing that’s enabled me to make a career out of it. That’s my other dream, the one that seems somewhat possible. I recently touched base with some local writers and directors and it seems there may be a chance I can contribute to the grassroots network of playwrights in the area. Maybe I’ll manage to write or produce something that can one day be shown at The State Theatre. It would be amazing if I ever re-open the Starlite or become a producer at The State Theatre, but to write a film or play that shared the same stage and screen as an Alfred Hitchcock film? That’s something that money can’t buy.

PROGRESS GRANGE hall was filled with craft vendors selling many Christmas-themed items.
Fall sales and bazaars held in Penns Valley By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
SPRING MILLS — Two groups in the Penns Valley area held their annual fall bazaars recently. The Sprucetown United Methodist Church in Georges Valley held its event on Oct. 26 in the basement of the church building, located on Upper Georges Valley Road. This is the 20th year for the fundraiser. Organizer Tami Spotts said the proceeds from the sales will benefit youth retreats and mission work sponsored by the church youth group. Congregation members donated all the goods that were for sale, including several kinds of soups, sandwiches and homebaked goods, as well as crafts and household goods. The same day, Progress Grange in Cen-
tre Hall held a ham pot pie and craft sale in the Grange Hall on Pennsylvania Avenue. Grange Master Donna Cogan said the Pennsylvania Dutch-style pot pie was made fresh that morning by members of the grange. Craft items for sale featured Christmas and winter themes, with handmade wooden snowman decorations, tree ornaments and knitted and crocheted items on display. A representative of Catherine Tejega, known as the “Coupon Queen,” attended the event. Tejega shops at local supermarkets nearly every day using large quantities of coupons, then resells the merchandise. Her prices are still 30 to 70 percent lower than retail, so her customers get great bargains. The Grange fundraiser supports its many agriculture-related activities and programs.

Following huge loss, Penn State looks to rebound vs. Illinois By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Next game up. That seems to be the attitude of the Penn State football team after last Saturday’s 63-14 loss at Ohio State. We’ve seen all the numbers about how long it has been since a Penn State team suffered through a game like Saturday’s, but the cold facts are sobering. Ohio State’s 63 points were a product of 686 yards of total offense — 408 on the ground and 278 through the air. OSU quarterback Braxton Miller was everything he was advertised to be and more. He completed 18 of 24 passes for 252 yards and three touchdowns and he ran 11 times for 68 yards and another two touchdowns. Time and again, the Nittany Lions looked as if they had him pinned in the back field only to watch him escape and gain big yardage. Running back Carlos Hyde, a tough inside runner with surprising speed, piled up 147 yards on 16 carries and scored two touchdowns. Six other backs combined to add another 193 yards on the ground and two more scores. Ohio State scored the first 28 points in the game, led 42-7 at the half, and never looked back from there. Of course, two first quarter turnovers (one in the end zone), some non-calls, and injuries to quarterback Christian Hackenberg and linebacker Glen Carson didn’t help Penn State’s cause, but almost from start to finish, it was the Buckeyes’ night. Playing before a packed house of 107,000, on national television, and riding a 19-game winning streak under coach Urban Meyer, the Buckeyes had a chance to show the country how good they are. It was a chance they didn’t miss. For the regrouping Nittany Lions, the season doesn’t end here, and they will be back in action at Beaver Stadium on Saturday afternoon. That next team up is the Illinois Fighting Illini.

PENN STATE freshman quarterback Christian Hackenberg had a couple of critical turnovers during the Nittany Lions’ 63-14 loss to undefeated Ohio State on Saturday night in Columbus.
Illinois is 3-4 for the season and 0-3 in the Big Ten with those losses coming in the last three weeks to Nebraska, Wisconsin and Michigan State. The loss last Saturday, 42-3, to Michigan State and its top-rated defense, was difficult to take for the Illini, but head coach Tim Beckman took the long view at his Monday press conference. “We weren’t at all happy with what happened at Home-
coming,” he said, “and, of course, we want to get better, but I will say this about this football team: for the last nine weeks, we’ve had a winning record. “The expectation of this football program is to continue to improve and that’s one of the things we will look at as a football team in that the last nine weeks we have been successful, we have been winners, and now we have to get back into that winning phase of it again. “The last thing that I’ll say is that the last three opponents that we have played are nine and two in the Big Ten. We all know the capabilities of Wisconsin, Nebraska and Michigan State. They’ve shown it in the last couple of years of them playing very, very good football. “I really believe that other than last week’s second half, we really competed at the utmost top levels to give us a chance to win. We did not play well in the second half the way that we wanted to play (against MSU), but we are ready for the final five weeks of the football season.” Everyone, it seems, who plays Penn State has a legitimate threat at quarterback, and Illinois is no exception. Senior quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase ranks in the top 30 in the nation in passing efficiency (151.8) and completion percentage (65.3). He is fourth in the Big Ten in passing yards (235 ypg) and total offense (245 ypg), and he has completed five passes this season of 50 yards or more. Wide receivers Steve Hull (21.6) and Ryan Lankford (20.5, and possibly injured) are among the top 20 receivers in the nation in yards per catch. Sophomore running back Josh Ferguson leads the team in rushing yards (361) and receiving yards (361), with his biggest game of the season coming against Nebraska when he ran for 114 yards. In all, the Illini score over 30 points per game, gain over 400 yards, and have 39 plays this year of 20 yards or more. Still, inconsistency and turnovers have hurt Illinois in key situations.

PSU football: Learning now and winning later By BEN JONES StateCollege.com
COLUMBUS, Ohio — They say what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger. Sure, a 63-14 loss to Ohio State may very well make O’Brien and his squad feel like an early Sunday running of “The Walking Dead,” but the Nittany Lions are still in fact alive and kicking following a game they would like to quickly forget. Even so, there is plenty for Penn State to take away from Saturday night’s shellacking and if the Nittany Lions are going to get better, there is plenty to learn, too. “I know you guys give me a hard time because I say I have to watch the film and then I don’t talk about it on Tuesday,” O’Brien said late Saturday night of
his weekly press conferences. “But let me watch the film and I’ll tell you all about it on Tuesday. The mostly bad and the some good that we did. Write down all those questions and bring them with you on Tuesday.” A chance to amend for all the bad will come next Saturday when the Nittany Lions take on Illinois, a game in which Penn State opened up as a 10-point favorite. Losing to Ohio State was not a surprise, but if the blowout loss has crumpled the foundation and confidence of this particular Nittany Lion team, then there is no safe bet when it comes to predicting the remainder of the season. Penn State’s 18-year-old starting quarterback, Christian Hackenberg, learned about playing on the road in the Big Ten.
In the first real road test of his collegiate career, Hackenberg found out the hard way that a single mistake can mean the end of a drive. The true freshman looked poised all night or at least for as long as he played, but as the Buckeyes pulled away, Penn State’s offensive efforts effectively became more and more of a formality. Hackenberg threw two interceptions, one thanks to a misread, and one due in large part to a falling receiver after the ball had been thrown. It’s not so much the stats that matter in a game like this but the mental and physical survival of the ordeal. Hackenberg seems to have come out healthy, at least in the mental aspect, which aside from a serious injury, is the Learning, Page 18

The good, the bad and the ugly There wasn’t much good to come out of Penn State’s 63-14 loss at Ohio State on Saturday night. The Nittany Lions (4-3) were dominated in every phase of the game by the Buckeyes, who definitely made a statement to the rest of the nation. It was an historic loss for the Nittany Lions, who hadn’t been beaten so soundly since 1899. With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at the good, bad and ugly from Saturday night. n The Good — Allen Robinson. With the Lions down by a bundle, Robinson didn’t quit. On a second-and-5 play from his squad’s own 35-yard line, Robinson took a pass from backup quarterback Tyler Ferguson and outraced several Buckeye defenders on his way to a 65-yard touchdown. As far as the big picture is concerned, the score meant very little. However, Penn State head coach Bill O’Brien was pleased to see Robinson trying so hard, despite the outcome. “Allen Robinson didn’t quit,” O’Brien said. “That was a look pass and and I think he took it for about 80 yards for a touchdown when it was 63-7. So that’s a good example of our team. I don’t think anybody on our team quit.” n The Bad — Christian Hackenberg. Simply put, the true freshman QB was not good. In fact, he picked a terrible time to play his worst game of the season. In limited action, he was 12 of 23 for just 112 yards. He was sacked four times and threw two costly interceptions. Under the bright lights at the Horseshoe, the freshman was a Hack job. n The Ugly — The defense. Penn State’s defense was embarrassingly bad, allowing Ohio State to rack up nearly 700 yards in total offense. The Lions allowed 408 yards on the ground and 278 through the air. There were Ohio State receivers running free for big gainers all night long. John Butler’s defense has now allowed 40-plus points in three consecutive games. Not a good sign. — Chris Morelli

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to score touchdowns when we need to,â&#x20AC;? Beckman said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we have to make sure we defend things better. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn the football over in big games like that. You can see the last three football games that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had turnovers that have cost us points and touchdowns. The focus is on what we have to control.â&#x20AC;? As far as playing against Penn State, also coming off of a big loss, Beckman sees no surprises. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re (PSU) older than we are,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got six or seven seniors they start on defense and I think five on offense. I still think Penn State is Penn State. They are very physical, they do what they do well, which they always have, and I think Coach (Bill) Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien has done a great job with this program.â&#x20AC;? Penn State was not inert at OSU. The Nittany Lions did pile up 357 yards of offense behind Allen Robinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 173 yards on 12 catches and Bill Beltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 98 yards rushing. Tyler Ferguson, Hackenbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s replacement, completed 7 of 11 passes for 125 yards, and Penn State totaled 237 yards through the air in the game. It just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop Ohio State. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why, this week, head coach Bill Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien and his team will be concentrating heavily on getting stops against Illinois. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, Saturday night was not the defenseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best night,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I do think there has been some improvement. There are some individual players who are getting better, and I think that at the end of the day it comes down to a combination of coaching and playing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can put them into position to make better plays, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll help, but guys have to go out there and make plays. We have guys on that side of the ball who love to practice, and that needs to carry over to the game. And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to evaluate what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing and try to coach them better. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what it comes down to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It think that we need to coach these guys and simplify things so that these guys can go out and play. We have a lot of good players, and we need to let them go play.â&#x20AC;? Learning, from page 15

Proud to support Penn State Football
best news Penn State can take out of those 60 minutes of punishment. There is little doubt he had to deal with nerves in the early going, but the situation as a whole didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make Hackenberg a worse quarterback than he is, and that counts for something. Bill Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien learned something about his team. Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second year head coach canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put too much stock in a beating like this without appreciating Ohio Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talent level. But even so, with 61 scholarship players and a mixed bag of experience and talent, the Nittany Lions are young. They are seemingly average overall â&#x20AC;&#x201D; aside from a handful of players who are working to keep things afloat. How Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien handles this realization is something we may never know, but it seems that the us-against-the-world narrative has taken a back seat to making the most out of a bad situation. Fans learned that while their Nittany Lions may have an admirable amount of heart and fight, they are in the end, what others said they would be. They are a team crippled by sanctions, relying on a Herculean effort to knock off a team fighting for a national title in front of 105,000 fans invested in that same goal. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to stay that way for the immediate future and nights like Saturday are going to be the by-product from time to time. Swallowing that pill â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one which admits that your team is in fact middle of the road â&#x20AC;&#x201D; can be hard, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a necessary step in maintaining a rational view. The good news for Penn State is that the next three opponents on the schedule are a combined 2-8 in conference play. Despite Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance the Nittany Lions arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lost cause and there is talent to be found on both sides of the ball. If Penn State is destined to grow as a program under Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, losses like Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have to be viewed more as a learning tool and less as a setback. How much was learned though wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be known until three weeks from now.

Experience leads Eagles over Raiders By JUSTIN PACKER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
WINGATE — Experience can be a big weapon in high school football. Friday night at Alumni Stadium in Wingate, fans saw just how important it can be. Bald Eagle Area, led by 19 seniors, took to the field against a much younger and less experienced Bellefonte squad. With BEA sitting on the District 6 playoff bubble, every week is a must-win game for the Eagles and head coach Jack Tobias. “It was good to see the guys come out focused on the game,” Tobias said. “They have things going in the right direction. We started Monday telling our guys that playoffs start this week for us. We must keep winning.” His team’s response? Bald Eagle racked up 51 points by halftime and walked away with a 57-12 victory over the visiting Red Raiders. “I knew coming into the game we had an uphill battle,” Bellefonte head coach Shanon Manning said. “We had a lot of young guys playing tonight. BEA is a good team with a ton of experience. We are so young. That was the big difference tonight. This loss falls squarely on my shoulders. Our guys came in and battled, we were just outgunned tonight.” On senior night for the Eagles, it was only fitting that senior captains Bryan Greene and Dakota Bartley led the Eagles to victory. Greene did his damage on special teams, returning two punts (70, 59) for touchdowns — flashing his game changing speed and ability to get to the corner. “He is electric,” Tobias said. “He is so fast and finds the seam better than anyone in the district. When he gets the ball in his hands, he is dangerous.” Bartley found his success on
the ground, carving up the Bellefonte defense for 155 yards on ten carries, including two touchdowns. “Our offensive line was spot on tonight for Dakota,” Tobias said. “We changed our blocking up a little from the last time we played and the guys executed well. The big guys were able to blow open some big holes and if you give Dakota some space, he is so good.” The Eagles were hot from the opening whistle. Offensively, BEA marched down the field on their first five possessions of the game for scores. On their opening drive, Jason Jones connected with fullback Ryan Watkins in flat — Watkins turned it up field for 26 yards and the Eagles’ first score. Coming off a three-and-out by the Raiders, Bartley needed just one carry — good for 42 yards — to give the Eagles a 14-0 lead. Jones found his second touchdown of the game, this time a 25yard touchdown pass to junior Mitchel Struble. Not to be outdone, Bartley earned his second trip to the end zone, capping off a threeplay, 49-yard drive, with a 4-yard touchdown run. Bryan Greene capped off the touchdown streak, when he took his first punt back – a 70-yarder to give the Eagles a 35-0 lead, just two minutes into the second quarter. After a Red Raider miscue on a snap gave the Eagles a safety, the Red Raider defense held their ground, snapping the scoring parade of the Eagles — temporarily. Struble made his presence felt on the defensive side of the ball, picking off a Bellefonte pass and returning it to the 1-yard line. Kaleb Weaver punched it home and put the Eagles up 44-0. With time winding down in

The Red Raiders’ Doylan Deitrich gives chase on the play. the first half, Greene struck again, this time with his 59-yard punt return in the closing seconds. Coming out of the half, up 51-0, the Eagles tacked on their last score of the night, as Struble took a pitch to the outside and found the end zone 21 yards later. Then Bellefonte went to work. Austin Jackson got the Raiders on the board when he took a sweep 57 yards, outran the Eagles defense and cut into the BEA lead, 57-6. Bellefonte punched in another touchdown, late in the fourth quarter, as Jackson took another
sweep to the outside and scored from two yards out. “It was good to see Austin score,” Manning said. “He is only a sophomore and getting better each game. Everyone on this team is. There was no quit tonight. I am proud of the fight these guys showed tonight. You can see what is coming on the horizon for this team.” Bald Eagle Area (5-4) will look to keep their playoff hopes alive when they host Ligonier Valley on Friday. “We go back to work on Monday,” Tobias said. “We have a tough team to get ready for and
I hope can carry this focus over. I am not sure after tonight where we stand, seed-wise, for District, but anyway we look at it, a win is a good thing for us.” The Red Raiders (0-9) will search for their first win of the season when they face St. Mary’s at Rogers Stadium. “We don’t roll over and play dead,” Manning said. “Regardless of the score or the team we are playing, our guys play hard for four quarters. I couldn’t ask for more than that. We haven’t had a kid quit this team. We might be 0-9, but I can’t say enough good things about these kids.”
Undefeated Clearfield throttles P-O, 56-7 By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH
sports@centrecountygazette.com
PHILIPSBURG — The last time the Clearfield football team visited Memorial Field in Philipsburg before Friday, the Bison were riding a 19-game regular-season undefeated streak and looking to close out their third consecutive undefeated regular season. Philipsburg would have none of it. The Mounties halted the Bison winning streak and marred their perfect season with a thrilling 40-33 victory in front of a packed house of whipped up Mountie fans. Now, Clearfield was back under remarkably similar circumstances. The Bison were on a 21-game regular-season winning streak this time and on the verge of another unbeaten regular season. They hadn’t lost a regular season game since that night two years ago. For the 1-7 Mounties to do it again, they would have to play literally error-free football, avoid the big play, and somehow slow down Christian Lezzer. Especially slow down Christian Lezzer. They were able to accomplish none of that. Lezzer turned in one of his biggest games of the season, and he made sure that piece of 2011 history did not repeat itself. The senior running back/quarterback/receiver, who is heading off to play for Boston College next year, ran the ball 15 times for 241 yards and scored five touchdowns as he led Clearfield to a 56-7 rout of the Mounties. Lezzer scored on runs of 67, 9, 9, 20, and 36 yards, completed a pass for 23 yards, and had a forced fumble and fumble recovery in the game. Clearfield struck out to a 35-7 halftime lead and coasted home
from there to extend its regular-season winning streak to 22 games and, yes, wrap up its eighth perfect regular season. “This is what we’ve been working for since third grade,” Lezzer said. “All of us have been together as seniors, and it’s nice to finally get to it. Undefeated season, the eighth in school history, so we made history again tonight. Now we are going to focus on the district championship next week.” For the Mounties, despite the score, it was not a wasted night. After getting down 13-0 on two early Clearfield drives — including a 50-yard touchdown pass from Eric Sellers to Seth Caldwell — Philipsburg came right back with a 12-play, 70-yard scoring drive of its own. Jake Anderson did the honors with a 6-yard run, and with just under nine minutes to play in the second quarter, the score was 13-7. As it had all night, the Mounties were able to move the ball (they had 209 yards of offense), but they soon fell prey to their two biggest season-long afflictions: the mistake and the long play. Clearfield took the ensuing kickoff and promptly scored in three plays — with Lezzer going 67 yards around the right side for the touchdown. Two minutes later, with P-O stopped and lining up to punt, Nick Boumheri’s protection broke down and the Bison blocked the punt and returned it to the 11-yard line. In short order, Lezzer scored his second from nine yards out, and, that quickly, the score was 28-7. Lezzer scored again in the second quarter and then twice more in the second half, ensuring that there would be no comeback by the Mounties. “At times I thought we played very well,” P-O coach Jeff Vroman said, “but we didn’t do a very good job with our de-

PHILIPSBURG-OSCEOLA’S Curtis Matsko (5) hands off to Dustin Shuey (25) during Friday night’s game with Clearfield. The Bison won, 56-7. fense. I thought we would be a little stronger there and that our game plan would be better than that. The second half I was disappointed with the long runs that they were able to rip off. But I saw a lot of good things.” Clearfield finished the game with 443 yards of offense, including 370 on the ground, with Lezzer accounting for 264 of that total. Philipsburg had four runners — Curtis Matsko, Anderson, Dustin Shuey, and Kyle Hawkins — who had carries over 10 yards, and fullback Mason Pryde led the ground
game with eight carries for 48 yards. Matsko was 9 for 20 through the air for 79 yards. This week, the Bison enter the playoffs against an undetermined opponent, while P-O has a chance to play spoiler when it entertains Forest Hills on Friday. “We just keep plugging,” Vroman said. “It’s the seniors’ last football game, and we are playing at home. We have to put together a complete football game. We have been preaching about that all year, but that’s what we have to do. We have to piece everything together and play good football on both sides of the ball.”

State High posts comeback win From Gazette staff reports
State College rallied to knock off Mifflin County and Penns Valley couldn’t keep up with Tyrone on Friday night. A closer look at those games:
STATE COLLEGE 26, MIFFLIN COUNTY 21
The State College Area High School football team posted a thrilling win on Friday night. The Little Lions rallied for a 26-21 victory over the Huskies. State High used a six-play, 49-yard drive to snatch a road victory from the jaws of defeat. State College upped its record to 5-4 with the win. Mifflin County fell to 4-5. It was a back-and-forth game the entire night. State College held a 20-7 edge before Mifflin County rallied with a pair of scores to grab the short-lived 21-20 lead. The game-winning TD came on a 3-yard run by Pat Irwin.
TYRONE 43, PENNS VALLEY 21
The Rams dipped under .500 with a lopsided loss at Tyrone on Friday night. Despite 180 yards from Taylor Collison, the Rams (4-5) couldn’t overcome the high-flying Golden Eagles. Running back James Oliver outdid Collison, rushing for 194 yards on 22 carries and three scores. Tyrone improved to 7-2 with the victory. The Golden Eagles got a pair of late touchdowns in the first half to seize control of the game. Penns Valley will try to get back to .500 this week when it hosts Mount Union.

Week 10: For several teams, the playoff push begins By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com
It’s difficult to believe that the final week of the high school regular season is here. It has been a great season, but we are not done yet because two and possibly three of our area teams are in playoff contention. State College is ranked No. 2 in AAAA in District 6/9, just behind DuBois. The Little Lions are ahead of No. 3 Mifflin County, and there is a strong possibility that the two teams will meet in the first round on Nov. 8, maybe at Memorial Stadium. In AA, Bald Eagle Area is ranked No. 7 (out of eight qualifiers), and it is directly behind the team that comes into Wingate on Friday, Ligonier Valley. A win for BEA and the Eagles are in. However, Forest Hills is No. 8 and Huntingdon is No. 9. If BEA loses, and Forest Hills (at P-O) and Huntingdon (Juniata Valley) both win, it could get sticky for BEA. Penns Valley is ranked No. 10, and, first and foremost, the Rams have to beat No. 2 Mt. Union on Friday. Then hope for lots of help. So here’s what we have this week:
NO. 6 LIGONIER VALLEY (6-3) AT NO. 7 BEA (5-4)
Bald Eagle Area took care of business last week against Bellefonte, but the Eagles are not safe yet with No. 6 Ligonier Valley coming into town on Friday night. A win for BEA would solidify a position in the District 6, AA tournament. The Rams started the season 6-0, but they have lost their last three games, including a 35-34 heartbreaker to Northern Cambria last week. LV can score points; it averages more than 32 points per game, but in its last three outings the Ram defense has disappeared. They’ve given up 105 points in that stretch, and all three of those losses came to single-A teams. LV is led by 6-1, 188 lb. senior quarterback Scott Fennell. Fennell has completed 95 of 181 passes this season (52 percent) for 1,549 yards and 15 touchdowns. A dual threat, he’s also rushed 90 times for 380 yards and another nine touchdowns. When Fennell is not running the ball, the Rams rely on freshman Collin Smith (457 yds.) and senior Dereck Croyle (423 yds.). Alec Bloom (830 yds.) and Garrett Tobias are the leading receivers. Outlook — Both teams are uncomfortable, and both teams believe they need to win. The BEA defense will be the key, and it wouldn’t hurt if the Eagles carried over a little of that offense from last Friday. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
NO. 2 MT. UNION (8-1) AT NO. 10 PENNS VALLEY (4-5)

Mt. Union at 8-1 is not a team for Penns Valley to easily get well against after last week’s loss to Tyrone. Mt. Union’s only loss came in Week 5 against Bellewood-Antis, 20-6, and since then the Trojans have won four straight while scoring more than 50 points in three of those games. Mt. Union is led by quarterback Trevon Walker who has completed 58 of 133 passes for 1,010 yards and 10 touchdowns. Walker has also rushed for 257 yards, but the bulk of the Trojans’ running comes from Dylan Smith (661 yards) and B.J. Loner (368). Loner, Klayton Heffner and Devon Kylor are the leading receivers. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. Outlook — The Rams need this game, and the one thing

that seems to be in the Rams’ favor is they played a much tougher schedule than Mt. Union. PV will put up points, but it is critical for the Ram defense to show up this week.
NO. 2 STATE COLLEGE (5-4) AT CUMBERLAND VALLEY (7-2)
The Mid-Penn Conference saved one of its best to face State College last this season. Cumberland Valley is 7-2, and its only losses have come to state powers Bishop McDevitt and Central Dauphin. Other than that, the Eagles pretty much took care of everybody else with double-digit wins. The Rams come into this game winning five of their last six contests, and those wins included CD East (by 25 points), Chambersburg, Carlisle, Mifflin and Harrisburg. They average 22 points per game, and they have run the ball 362 times for almost 2,000 yards (245 per game) and 26 touchdowns. Tyler Updegraff (955) and Tyler Heisey (522) are the leading gainers on the team, while Chris Galbraith (26 for 73, 422 yds.) is the quarterback. Tyler Kuhn is the leading receiver along with Updegraff and Heisey. (CV also leads the state in the number of players named Tyler.) Game time is set for 7 p.m. Outlook — For State College, this game will be tough duty, but the Little Lions do not want to slip in the AAAA playoff standings. Everyone has probably tried, but if SC can gang up against the Rams running game, and if Pat Irwin or Jordan Misher can get loose on some big plays, this could be a close game.
NO. 8 FOREST HILLS (5-4) AT PHILIPSBURG-OSCEOLA (1-8)
Forest Hills jumped from No. 10 in the district up to No. 8 after last week’s 39-0 thrashing of Greater Johnstown, and the Rangers have no intention of giving up that spot. The only thing that stands in their way is the P-O game on Friday night. Forest Hills is 5-4, and the Rangers have an almost perfectly balanced offense. They have gained 1,471 yards through the air (163 per game) and 1,441 on the ground (160 per game) for a total of more than 320 yards of offense and 24 points every time out. Joe Donoughe is the quarterback, and he’s completed 98 of 200 passes for 1,382 yards and nine TDs. Donoughe is also the team’s leading rusher with 556 yards and 11 touchdowns. Shareef Blough, who has gained more than 350 yards in the last three games, Ian Wieczorek, and Jared Krug also share the running duties. Ten different receiver have caught passes for the Rangers, with Blough (444 yds.), Tyler Shima (263), Logan Madison (240) and Dustin Ohler (213) leading the pack. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. Outlook — This could be spoiler time for P-O. The Mounties will be getting some of their injured players back for this week, and it will be Senior Night. The loss to Clearfield last week looked bad, but the Mounties did some good things in that game. P-O coach Jeff Vroman is likely tired of saying this to his team, but it’s still true: no turnovers, no mistakes, and give up no big plays.
ST. MARYS (5-4) AT BELLEFONTE (0-9)
St. Marys runs the ball for more than 211 yards per game and has played a relatively tough schedule (wins over Punxsutawney, Bradford, and Keystone), but it is Senior Night at Bellefonte. Expect the Raiders to play hard and gang up on St. Marys’ running game. Kickoff at Rogers Stadium is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Hilltoppers knock Rams from postseason By SHAWN CURTIS Special to The Gazette
JOHNSTOWN — Managing just two shots against top-seeded Westmont Hilltop, the Penns Valley boys’ soccer team saw its season come to an end Thursday at Richland High School, falling to the Hilltoppers 5-0. Just don’t think that an elimination in the District 6 Class A semifinal is the end of the world for Rams’ coach Scott Case. “It was great, it’s always fun,” Case said as he reflected on the Rams’ 7-12 season. “You look at the world and there’s people dying everywhere and these kids get to play soccer. Any time you can play soccer, it’s a great day.”
Penns Valley managed to keep the Hilltoppers at bay early in the contest, calling on Tiger Welch to stop a trio of Westmont Hilltop’s chances while challenging Mitch Causer on the other end of the pitch. Then Westmont Hilltop began to exert its style of play on Penns Valley. “(Westmont Hilltop) had a much better possession game,” Case said. “They had a much better game of going outside.” A three-goal outburst earmarked the first half starting with Lewie Buchovich’s tally in the 17th minute when he headed a ball past Rams goalkeeper Tiger Welch. Logan Blackburn added on to the Hilltoppers lead by taking the ball and eventually working around Welch before bumping it into the net.
Rock Solid winners selected STATE COLLEGE — Rock Solid Awards for weeks six, seven and eight were recently announced.

The Rock Solid Awards are given every week to high school football players throughout Centre County. The mission of the awards is to recognize high school football players for their leadership, teamwork and outstanding performance.
Battista leaving Penn State By BEN JONES StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — A longtime fixture in Penn State athletics is making a dramatic career move. Joe Battista, associate athletic director for Pegula Ice Arena and hockey development, has announced that he will leave Penn State, effective Nov. 8.
Battista will begin his new role with Pegula’s East Management Services as its vice president of hockey related businesses Nov. 11. “Joe Battista has been an integral part of the Penn State community for more than 30 years as a student and employee, and I thank him for his loyal service to the university and intercollegiate athletics,” said Dave Joyner, director of athletics.
Sam Whitlow’s long-distance kick pushed the Hilltoppers’ lead to 3-0 heading into intermission. “Turf for some reason, I don’t know what it is about these guys, the first 10 or 15 minutes are always rocky for us,” Westmont Hilltop coach Jason Hughes said. “Once we got that first goal, it gave us confidence. It opened the floodgates and we kept scoring goals.” Grant Gagnon sealed the Westmont Hilltop win with goals in the 47th and 57th minutes. Gagnon punched in his first goal when he gained possession in the penalty area before sending it past Welch. Gagnon capped the scoring as he ran the ball before working it past the Rams
keeper. Despite the score, Welch’s efforts weren’t a complete wash in the eyes of his coach. “The amazing thing about Tiger is that he’s our third-string keeper,” Case said of Welch. “After we lost our first- and secondstring keeper during the season, he took over with seven games to go and improved an amazing amount in those games.” Welch’s counterpart, Mitch Causer, handled the two shots he faced by Penns Valley to take home a clean sheet. “To have him back there is such a sigh of relief,” Hughes said. “As a sophomore, even as a freshman last year, he’s a heck of an athlete. He’s mature for his age and he always comes to play.”

Author with local roots publishes first novel By BRIANNA BLAIR
correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
SNOW SHOE — Author Lisa Harris grew up in Snow Shoe alongside a family of storytellers, each weaving delightful tales of yesterday’s adventures and tomorrow’s endeavors. The impact this tradition had on Harris can be seen through her writing of poetry and novels. Her first novel, “’Geechee Girls,” was recently published by Ravenna Press. Set in the mid-20th century, “’Geechee Girls” tells the story of two young best friends, one white and one African-American, living in the thick Savannah heat alongside the Ogeechee River, where they are challenged in life and love. “It’s hard to tell the story of a novel because if you could, you wouldn’t have written it,” Harris said, “but it looks at how people through love and friendship can tolerate significant difficulty.” The details of the southern landscape invite the reader to explore the deep forests and marshy grounds where the cougars and the black bears roam. “I tried to make the landscape one of the characters in the book to make it really feel like you’ve been in Savannah for about 10 years by the time you’re done reading,” Harris chuckled. Harris, a graduate of Bard College, Armstrong Atlantic University and Avery Graduate School of Fine Arts, started writing at the age of 9. From the start, her writing was recognized as a gift. She began writing “’Geechee Girls” in 1992 as a collection of short stories, influenced by her time spent in the South. “Sometimes I’m not always sure why I’m writing a book when I start it and I do sort of sketches first,” Harris said. “When
I looked at all of these sketches that were about Savannah, I actually realized it was a novel.” While Harris was writing, she would send out small pieces of her novel as short stories to literary journals. “I was fortunate to get about half of them published before it was published as a book,” Harris said. Books were always special to Harris, whether it was from a writing or reading aspect. “I love books,” Harris said. “Books have always been my best friends in some ways; good adventure, good travel when you’re bored.” Through reading and storytelling, Harris fell in love with the fantasies of magic and wonder. Harris loves Grimm fairytales and the enchantment that encompasses those tales. Throughout her novel, Harris made sure to add elements from the world of magic, including two dominant motifs of snakes and birds. “There are elements of magical realism throughout the book, and depending on how you read, some may take them as metaphors or some people will think they’re possible,” Harris explained. However, Harris found real magic throughout her life, especially in education. “School always felt safe to me,” Harris said. “Whenever it was a little bit crazy, it was a good place to go.” One of Harris’s fondest memories was of someone who was very important to her: Bald Eagle Area high school English teacher and Penn State graduate Jane Flynn. “In 10th grade, my father was killed and I was struggling as a student,” Harris recalled. “She was amazing.”

LISA HARRIS grew up in Snow Shoe. Her first novel was recently published. Flynn was not only an English teacher, but also someone who introduced Harris to the art and magic in writing down thoughts and creating stories. “I was thinking about being in her English class, feeling pretty sad, and her giving me permission to write about it and then talking with me about what I wrote,” Harris said. Flynn recently passed away, causing Harris to look back and reflect on the impact that was left on her life by a woman who always dressed in blue- and whitestriped tailored shirts, navy blue skirts and pumps. “I was reading her obituary and I was just overcome with gratitude because she
permitted me to try to become happier or heal myself by letting me write stories,” Harris said. The Oct. 30 reading of “’Geechee Girls” at Webster’s Café in State College was dedicated to Flynn. “One of the things I’ve realized is how many good teachers I’ve had and how much love I’ve received. I feel really lucky,” Harris said. Harris, who now lives in central New York, continues to pursue her passion of writing and is currently working on her next novel, “Allegheny Dream,” which takes place in the heart of the Allegheny Mountains and can expected to be seen on shelves in June 2014.
Judith Hill to bring ‘funky, upbeat’ show to State Theatre on Nov. 1 By MARJORIE S. MILLER
mmiller@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — Vocal stylist Judith Hill will take to the stage at 8 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 1, at The State Theatre. Writing music since the age of 4, Hill has appeared on NBC’s “The Voice,” has toured and sung backup with the late Michael Jackson, performed background music with Stevie Wonder, and is featured in Morgan Neville’s film “20 Feet From Stardom,” a documentary released earlier this year about backup singers for some of the greatest musicians of the 21st century, according to The State Theatre. Today, Hill is on tour with singer and songwriter Josh Groban, and in addition to her State College appearance, she has performed in more than 20 cities in the past month. “We’ve been all over,” Hill said. Her show at The State Theatre will include some original songs as well as some cover songs. She noted that her performance, which will include her entire band, will be inspirational, funky, upbeat and interactive. “It’s a really fun show,” Hill added. Gazette staff writer Marjorie S. Miller was able to chat with Hill earlier this week: Q: You started writing music at the age of 4. How did you become interested in music, and how has your craft developed throughout your life? A: “My parents were both musicians,” Hill said. “At an early age I was singing and playing the piano.” Hill said her parents had a studio in their home, so she was always surrounded by talented musicians. “I had a really rich background,” she said. In addition to a few tracks on “20 Feet From Stardom,” including “Desperation,” the Los Angeles-based
musician plans to have her first solo album out next year. Q: How would you describe your music? Where does your inspiration come from? A: “I’m definitely a soul singer,” Hill said. A lot of her musical inspiration comes from her early days, when she listened to Motown music and Aretha Franklin. Today much of her inspiration comes from classical music, musicians such as Barbara Streisand and Ray Charles, and new artists, such as Adele. “I love to have a lot of different flavors and textures of world music,” Hill said. “(And to) celebrate different cultures.” Q: Describe what it was like being on Season 4 of “The Voice.” A: “It was a really great experience,” she said. Being on the reality television singing competition gave her a chance to connect with a lot of different people, as well as get a grip on her personal music style, she said. “You learn a lot about what kind of artist you are,” she said. The show was also a great opportunity to develop a fan base and to learn what type of record to put out. Q: Touring with Michael Jackson must have been a meaningful experience. Describe what it was like getting to know Jackson, and what he taught you about music. A: Her time with Jackson was short-lived, since she was with him for his last tour, “This Is It,” before his death in June 2009. Those two months, she said, were a “beautiful experience.” “He was such an inspiration,” she said. Hill describes her time with Jackson as both a “bittersweet memory” and a “highlight in life.” What was most memorable to her was seeing Jackson have dreams and

Jackson’s inspiration ran deep, which encouraged her to challenge herself to go deeper to find her own visions. Q: With your upcoming show at The State Theatre and your current tour, what do you want both fans and strangers to know about you as your career progresses? A: “I love to bring classic soul … elements and music into the modern pop world,” she said. She was a composer first, so she wants people to also experience that part of her music. She additionally wants people to see her passions for human rights and peace, and how they are portrayed in her work.. “I hope that my music eventually becomes a platform for that,” she said.

THE HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS will bring their family-oriented show to the Bryce Jordan Center on March 5.
Harlem Globetrotters to hit the court March 5 From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — The Harlem Globetrotters will bring their 2014 “Fans Rule World Tour” to the Bryce Jordan Center at 7 p.m. March 5. Online voting is now open at http:// harlemglobetrotters.com/rule, where all fans can choose which new game-changing rules they want to see in their hometown. The Globetrotters were the first organization in sports and entertainment to let fans vote on rules when the team introduced the concept last year. Since the fan response was so overwhelming, the team is doing it again. The 2014 online ballot includes three never-before-seen rules: n Hot Hand Jersey — Both teams will have a Hot Hand Jersey they can pass among each other. The player who is wearing this jersey will receive double points on made baskets. n Make or Miss — The quarter begins with only two players on the court for each team. When a team scores, a teammate may enter the game. When they miss, the player missing the shot must leave the court, leaving his or her teammates shorthanded. n Trick Shot Challenge — Via three challenge flags per team, each coach can challenge the other team to make a trick shot. If the team makes the trick shot, they earn five points. If they miss, the other team receives five points. With a roster showcasing stars such as Special K Daley, Big Easy Lofton, Flight Time Lang, Hi-Lite Bruton and Dizzy
Grant, plus female stars TNT Maddox, TTime Brawner and Sweet J Ekworomadu, the Globetrotters’ one-of-a-kind family show features mesmerizing ball handling, an assortment of trick shots, high-flying dunks and precise timing — all with an array of comedy guaranteed to entertain the young and the young at heart. After virtually every game, Globetrotter stars remain on the court for autographs and photographs with fans. The Original Harlem Globetrotters are celebrating their 88th consecutive year, continuing a world-famous tradition of ball handling wizardry, basketball artistry and one-of-a-kind family entertainment that continues to thrill fans of all ages. Throughout their history, the Globetrotters have showcased their iconic talents in 122 countries and territories on six continents, often breaking down cultural and societal barriers while providing fans with their first-ever basketball experience. Proud inductees of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, the Globetrotters have entertained hundreds of millions of fans — among them popes, kings, queens and presidents — over more than eight thrilling decades. Tickets are available at the Bryce Jordan Center, Eisenhower Auditorium, Penn State Downtown Theatre, Wal-Mart Ticket kiosks, www.harlemglobetrotters.com, www.Ticketmaster.com, www.bjc.psu. edu, or by calling (800) 745-3000.

Stocker dealership opens new showroom By ADAM LIDGETT StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gene Stocker has been selling cars for decades. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably seen his fast-talking television commercials touting his Chevrolet/Subaru dealership on the Benner Pike. And now, Stocker has something new to talk about â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a brand new showroom. Stocker Subaru, located at 1454 Dreibelbis Road, recently opened for business. Stocker has owned the Subaru franchise since 1983, but decided to expand because customers werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting the service they had been given in the past. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The dealership has grown in sales and service in the past eight to 10 years,â&#x20AC;? Stocker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Customer satisfaction became an issue. We had to expand to continue the kind of quality service our customers had become accustomed to.â&#x20AC;? Stocker bought the Subaru franchise after seeing the potential in its line of all-wheel drive vehicles. He says more Subarus are being sold nationally than Volkswagens. Stocker says the number of vehicles theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve sold has soared in the past couple of years so it made sense to open another dealership. Stocker claims his dealership does three times the business of the national average for a franchise. He attributes that to his staff and his famous local advertisements, but mostly to his loyal customers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People just trust doing business here,â&#x20AC;? Stocker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We work at it ... we heavily take care of our customers.â&#x20AC;?
CHRIS MORELLI/The Gazette
GENE STOCKER has a brand-new showroom at 1454 Dreibelbis Road in State College. The new showroom features all Subaru vehicles. Stocker says he wants people to leave his dealership feeling they had a positive experience. Stockerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dealerships have attributes that help them stand out, such as a drive-through service lane and cars for people to borrow while their own vehicles are being serviced.
While getting permits to open new businesses can sometimes be a daunting task, Stocker says opening his new dealership was made easy by both College Township and the Centre Region Code Agency. Stocker says he attempted to build the new dealership with as many local contractors
as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a slump in commercial development in the past couple years locally, so I think those local government officials were happy we used local commercial developers,â&#x20AC;? Stocker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The opening was very rewarding.â&#x20AC;?
Credit Union announces CEO SPE announces promotions retirement and promotion From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; SPE Federal Credit Unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of directors recently announced the retirement of Russell Brooks. Brooks has served as chief executive officer of SPE for more than 10 years. During his tenure, the credit union has grown to have more than 11,000 members and $78 million in assets. The board promoted Michael Meier as the new president and chief executive officer. Meier previously held the position of senior vice president and CFO and has been employed by the credit union since 1995. He started his career at United Federal Savings Bank. Meier has a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
degree in finance from Penn State University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grasp of the credit union operations extends well beyond his role as chief financial officer. He has a combination of integrity and member focus that is crucial in a credit union executive,â&#x20AC;? Brooks said. Over the years, Meier has been active in the community through the Knights of Columbus, United Way, the American Red Cross, Centre Soccer and other youth programs. He resides in Port Matilda with his wife, Mary, and three daughters. SPE FCU is a community-chartered credit union with three offices serving members in Centre and Huntingdon counties.
STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; SPE Federal Credit Union recently announced several promotions. Wendy Myers was promoted to vice president/director of lending and retail services. Her responsibilities include strategic planning and oversight of the member services and lending functions. Myers joined the credit union in 2005.
