New Hope UMC to mark new beginning By SAMI HULINGS shulings@centrecountygazette.com
BELLEFONTE — New Hope United Methodist Church will open its doors on Nov. 17 and will bring with it renewed faith, joy and hope. Located at 1089 E. College Ave., the church will serve as the new home of the congregations of the former Axemann and Weaver United Methodist churches. Due to eminent domain, the Weaver church was taken by PennDOT in 2005 in order to construct a high-speed exit off of Interstate 80. Though the eminent domain called for the state to work with the church to purchase another property to bring the two congregations together under one roof, negotiations fell through. “The arrangement fell into problems in terms of the expectations of both parties. So for about five or six years, it was an adversarial relationship,” said Bob Dornan, pastor of New Hope United Methodist Church. According to Dornan, the Axemann church, which was very small, took in those from Weaver. Because of the small size of Axemann, many members of the Weaver congregation stopped coming to
church or found other churches to attend. In 2009, Dornan came to the area and began working with others from the Weaver and Axemann churches to restart the negotiations. The group contacted Rep. Kerry Benninghoff, who set up meetings between these church leaders and members of the state government. Though movement was slow, eventually an offer was made to settle the deal, and Dornan and the group of church leaders began working on the creation of a new church. Previously, Bob Poole, president and chief executive officer of S&A Homes, had presented the group with a piece of property in the Deerhaven development for the new church. With the intent to build a brand new church there, the group began looking into construction costs. “As we looked into the cost of new construction, we quickly realized that a little church like ourselves probably could not afford that,” Dornan said. “We just figured we could never do it. Even though we had property, we were basically sitting on it because we just didn’t have the money to proceed.” New Hope, Page 5

STATE COLLEGE — Preheat the ovens and warm the cheese. Philly Pretzel Factory is now open at the Walmart on Benner Pike. After closing its 124 S. Allen St. location about five months ago, the soft pretzel company made
the move to Walmart as a way to increase revenue and exposure, according to a company official. Philly Pretzel Factory CEO and founder Dan DiZio has said his company has partnered with various other Walmarts across the state, allowing many Philly Pretzel franchises to greatly increase Philly Pretzel, Page 6

School pays tribute to veterans By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com
BELLEFONTE — There were patriotic videos and slideshows, songs and a standing ovation for members of the United States Military as Marion Walker Elementary School paid tribute to members of the United States Military on Veteran’s Day. The Veteran’s Day assembly has become a tradition at the school. Patricia Correll is a first-grade teacher at the school who helps organize the event. According to Correll, the assembly is important because it teaches the children the vital role that the miliOpinion ............................. 7 Health & Wellness ............. 8
tary plays in our lives. “It’s important for the kids to know why we’re here and what the day means,” Correll said. “There are so many people who are serving our country and they deserve our honor and respect.” Monday’s assembly began with two fifth-grade students — Keri Carroll and Meredith Frey — singing the National Anthem. After that, there were several presentations, slide shows and songs. Students explained the different branches of the military and what their roles are. “I like to get the kids involved, that’s why they have the speaking parts,” Correll said. “Most of them have family that are in the

military. The kids made the (military) banners. They got a chance to come in with the precession. We got the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts involved and the kids really seemed to enjoy that.” Parents were able to attend the assembly, and several took advantage of the opportunity to pay tribute to the armed services. “I think it was fantastic,” said Heidi Martin. “Our military is the whole reason why we are here today. I’m really glad Marion Walker does something like this.” Following the presentation, students headed back to their classrooms where they got to Veterans, Page 5

Police: Man involved in chase By ADAM LIDGETT
were told that the man had retrieved his car. Police located the vehicle traveling south on West College Avenue near Science Park Road, but the man refused to pull over. He was reportedly speeding up to 20 miles over the speed limit. Ferguson Township Police Chief Diane Conrad says, “We pursued him for quite some distance. He wasn’t going to stop. We knew who he was.” The decision was made to break off the pursuit near the intersection of Route 220 and SR-350, not far from Bald Eagle. That’s roughly 20 miles away from Pine Grove Mills. Conrad said the investigation continues and additional charges are pending.

Paterno supporters assail Penn State leadership By STEVE BAUER StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — “Joe Paterno is no longer the head football coach, effective immediately.” With those words, uttered two years ago on Nov. 9, Penn State Board of Trustee member John Surma created a firestorm of criticism that continues 731 days later. Marking that two-year anniversary Saturday night, Paterno’s many supporters gathered at the Days Inn on Pugh Street to show they haven’t forgotten what happened. In a way, the emotional three-hour affair resembled a revival meeting with fiery oratory, talk of redemption and salvation. More than 200 people showed up for the town hall-style meeting called “Upon Further Review.” The meeting included comments from noted Paterno backers, including former Penn State football star Franco Harris, filmmaker John Ziegler, March for Truth organizer Eileen Morgan and Paterno investigator Ray Blehar. The night began with a video montage, showing Paterno with his family, working with his football players and memorable big game highlights, all chronicling the legendary coach’s six-decade-long career. Howls of laughter filled the room as a clip of John Surma played on the screen. “We do not know all the facts ...” Surma said. Moments later, Harris asked the crowd, “Was it right for the BOT to fire Joe Paterno two years ago today?” Cries of, “No!”
filled the ballroom. Harris said the board of trustees compromised “one of our most sacred principles: due process.” He added, “Joe would never turn his back on a child,” which was followed by loud applause. Harris promised the audience they would hear how and why the Sandusky scandal became the Penn State scandal. Eileen Morgan followed with a comprehensive breakdown of Mike McQueary’s grand jury testimony. McQueary said he saw Jerry Sandusky in the showers with a young boy. According to Morgan, McQueary’s story changed as the process played out. She said McQueary initially said he did not see any sex act. Morgan said that’s backed up by testimony from Graham Spanier and Tim Curley, who used words like “inappropriate behavior” and “horsing around” to describe what McQueary told them. In later testimony, McQueary said he actually did see a sex act. Blehar told the crowd the Sandusky scandal is all about “power, lies and deception.” Blehar claims people in positions of power wanted to settle old scores with Paterno and Spanier. According to Blehar, Surma’s nephew had been a walk-on football player but quit after having some problems, which may have led to ill feelings toward Paterno. Blehar also criticized board of trustee members for saying they didn’t know about the grand jury’s investigation of Jerry Sandusky. Blehar said they could have read about it in the newspapers. Ble-
har said he believes as many as 75 people at Penn State knew what was going on. John Ziegler talked about his film “The Truth.” In a blistering attack, he called the news media corrupt, only interested in big ratings. He said, “This story was uniquely designed for them to blow it,” because they needed an ending to the story. Ziegler claims that’s why a narrative was created that incorrectly said Paterno knew that Sandusky was abusing children. Ziegler maintains that if reporters had wanted, they could have made Paterno a hero by focusing on the fact that he reported the shower incident to higher-ups. “We’re living in a bizzaro world,” Ziegler said. “It is my view, even though I don’t like Jerry Sandusky as a person, I don’t believe he ever had sex with a boy.” Sandusky was convicted in June 2012 of 45 criminal counts of sexual abuse and is serving a 30- to 60-year state prison sentence. Ziegler also attacked McQueary’s story, saying, “Everything about that narrative is false.” Ziegler said it doesn’t make sense that McQueary saw a child being assaulted and did nothing to stop it — and that he did not call the police. Some people raised questions about the need for greater transparency. Former board of trustees candidate Ryan Bagwell has been fighting in the courts for permission to see email records from Penn State leaders. During a panel discussion, Bagwell said the only entity now fighting against his Right to Know lawsuit is Penn State.

State College school board receives update on project By ADAM LIDGETT StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — The State College school board received high school project updates Monday night on everything from development to the budget. Randy Brown, business administrator for the State College Area School District, gave an update on the financing options for the high school project. The cost of the project cost is estimated to be between $109 million and $115 million. It’s expected that a referendum to pay for the renovations will ask voters to approve spending in a range from $60 million to $80 million. Brown also said he is looking at a repayment schedule of between 20 and 30 years. The main point of the presentation, though, was for Brown to show that one of these numbers changing may change another number. “By changing different factors, other factors may change as well,” Brown said. “We’re trying to show flexibility.” In total, Brown has about 25 different scenarios the board will be considering in their continued decision making process of the high school project.
“We’re looking at all these scenarios ... to show what the district can afford,” State College Area School District Superintendent Bob O’Donnell said. The board voted in September to approve major renovations to the south building. That way all core classes can all be held on the same side of the street. Portions of the north building will still be available for student and community use. The board is now looking at differences between two proposed renovation plans for the high school. One redesign plan has a more westward expansion of the south building, while option two incorporates a more crescent shape. John Beddia, director of operations at the architecture firm the school district is using for the high school project Crabtree, Rohrbaugh and Associates, said the westward expansion isn’t a very viable option. He said the crescent shape is the better choice. Board members have said in the past that the crescent option is the more favored option. The board also looked at a decisionmaking timeline put together by board President Penni Fishbaine and Vice President Amber Concepcion. While the board
Board member Jim Pawelczyk wanted, however, to decide on a final referendum amount. The referendum must be passed in May to allow for the funding of the high school project. Board member Laurel Zydney said she wants to at least set a cap so they can report to the community what the board is thinking on the referendum.
has been looking frequently at a broad project calendar, Fishbaine and Concepcion proposed a timeline of key decisions the board has to make. Those dates include Dec. 2, when the board has to make a final decision on what proposed renovation will go into effect and Feb. 10, when the tentative project budget will be determined.

ON MONDAY NIGHT, Bellefonte Borough Council voted 5-4 to demolish the Garman Theatre. Council decided that the Garman and neighboring Hotel Do De could not be saved and will be razed by developer Ara Kervandjian.
Council votes to demolish Garman From Gazette staff reports
BELLEFONTE — The curtain is closing on the Garman Theatre. On Monday night, the Bellefonte Borough Council decided the fate of the Garman and Hotel Do De. By a 5-4 vote, council approved demolition of the Garman. More than 100 people packed Lambert Hall in Bellefonte, most in support of the Bellefonte Historical and Cultural Association’s proposal to save the structure.
The Garman had been at the center of battle between those who want to save the building and developer Ara Kervandjian, the developer who owns both buildings. Kervandjian wants to raze both buildings and build workforce housing Voting yes for the demolition were council members Joe Beigle, Vana Dainty, Frank Halderman, Walt Schneider and Tom Wilson. Voting no for the demolition were Renee Brown, Paul DeCusati, Gay Dunne and Dave Provan. An earlier vote
in the meeting to table the demolition failed, 5-4. The buildings suffered severe fire damage in September 2012. A fire started in an apartment in the Hotel Do De and spread to the Garman. The Garman was vacant at the time of the blaze. Last month, Kervandjian offered tours to the public and media to show the poor condition of the Garman. At that time, sections of the theatre were cordoned off because they were deemed unsafe to walk through.
away. “We have done this in the past. Normally, we’ve just done it here. We decided it made more sense to partner with a church,� she said. “At this point, we haven’t moved our food bank yet. Space is really at a premium. We’re just really overcrowded and it can get very hectic on Free Coat Day.� The free coats are limited to one per person. You must be present to select a coat. Because the FaithCentre is also a thrift shop and a food bank, Summers decided to enlist the help of a church. “We thought we needed some help,� Summers explained. “We thought a good place to get bodies to help you is a church. I just reached out to the church community and the Lutherans were the first ones that responded. They said they’d like to host it.� Over the next week or so, Summers said, the coats will be transported to the church, where they will be sorted and prepared for distribution. “We have the coats here. We have to go through the boxes, make sure they’re still OK and ship them up to the church,� Summers said. According to Summers, the FaithCentre is still accepting donations of coats that will be handed out at the Free Coat Days. “We accept donations any day we are open,� she said. A winter coat is something that many take for granted. For those in need, however, a coat is important out in the elements and inside, as well. “You think about your coat when you’re going outside, but for some people, having a warm winter coat is important because heating is a concern. There is some heating assistance available, but there are some people who are keeping their thermostats at 58 (degrees). There are people walking around their house in their coats, bundled up in blankets because heat and heating oil is very expensive,� Summers said. The FaithCentre has stockpiled the coats all year with the Free Coat Days in mind. “Last year, we gave away coats to about 60 people,� Summers said. “We plan to bring 100150 coats to the church. If we run out, we’ll figure out what to do from there.� Snacks and warm beverages will be provided. For more information about Free Coat Days, contact the FaithCentre at (814) 355-0880.

GUNNERY SGT. JOHN FIKE of the United States Marine Corps shows a flag to a fifth-grade class at Marion Walker Elementary School on Veteran’s Day. Veterans, from page 1
hear members of each branch of the military talk about what it’s like to serve the United States and protect our freedoms. Bill Neumann, a retired member of the United States Army, spoke to a kindergarten class. He talked about the vital role the military plays and what it’s like to protect the country. “We worked as a team,” Neumann said, “and we did whatever it took to get the job done.” One of the guest speakers was Gunnery Sgt. John Fike of the United States Marine Corps. He spoke to a fifth-grade class. In the audience was his daughter, Samantha, who is a student at Marion Walker. “It’s a pretty exciting day, being here with my daughter and being recognized for being a veteran. The school does a wonderful job with it,” Fike said. Inside the classroom, Fike talked about his travels around the globe. He showed students mementos he acquired from other countries. He also explained the significance of the medals on his uniform. “Some kids don’t know a lot about the military,” he said. “It’s a great way to introduce students here to the military way of life and give them an overview of my life as a Marine.”
The group offered to give back the property, but Poole was insistent the church keep it. The group decided to sell the property to raise funds to purchase a new location for New Hope United Methodist. The money from the property, combined with the settlement received from the state and a loan from the United Methodist Conference provided the group with the funds to purchase the building on East College, which had previously served as a church for the Assembly of God. Now the little church that was built in the middle of a cornfield near Zion will bring hope to those from the Axemann and Weaver churches. “It’s not just one congregation, but it’s us reaching out to former members of the Axemann and Weaver churches and also offering another opportunity for fellowship to people who live in the greater Zion area to be involved,” Dornan said. “It’s not just one church moving. It’s actually a church that is going into a new location with the hopes of building a viable congregation there.” Dornan encourages those who don’t currently have a church family to experience what New Hope United Methodist Church offers. “We are just people who have been forgiven and are grateful for that forgiveness. We want to pass on the word of forgiveness to other people as well so they can have an anchor in their life that they can hold on to,” he said. “(Those) who don’t have a church family or they don’t have that anchor in their life … are drifting through life. They are putting one foot in front of the other but they aren’t sure where the ultimate direction is. We want to help them with that. We want to increase their faith. We want to build them up in God’s word and to give them the support they need for the things they will surely face.” Dornan said the grand opening of New Hope United Methodist is where people can first see the forgiveness and anchor the church can provide, as it will be very similar to the weekly 10 a.m. Sunday worship services. The 10 a.m. launch this Sunday will include special performances by the church’s chime choir and Jeremy Garner, as well as appearances by Congressman Glenn Thompson and a county commissioner, he said. Upon the launch, Dornan said members of the church will begin working on planning a regular Sunday school. Plans for youth groups, young adult and couples programs and Bible studies are currently in the talking phase. “We’re taking things one step at a time,” Dornan said. Because of this, Dornan said he believes New Hope United Methodist Church will provide the area with plenty of opportunities that residents should take advantage of. “Come with an open mind. We are a church that is a

Philly Pretzel, from page 1 business. “(Walmart) has more consistent foot traffic,” said State College franchisee Robert Harris. Within Walmart, Philly Pretzel Factory is located where the store’s photo mart once was. Because of this, the area had to be completely reconfigured for the installation of items like pretzel ovens and counter space. “We had to do a complete buildout of the store and then move all of our equipment into here,” Harris said. Upon completion, Philly Pretzel Factory held a grand opening on Saturday, Oct. 26. The event included free pretzel giveaways, prize drawings and the handing out of flyers. The company’s mascot, Philly, attended the event, as did a few corporate employees. According to Harris, business has been very steady since the grand
opening in late October. He hopes the success will continue, bringing in more business and allowing Philly Pretzel Factory to be in the local public eye more often. Though DiZio said the menu will be limited, it will include regular and specialty homemade pretzels and the pretzel hotdog, providing customers with fan favorite pretzels. Harris agreed, saying customers will still be able to get the same fresh soft pretzels they have come to love. “We offer a good product that is fresh,” Harris said. “I’m very happy with the move and I hope things continue to work out.” Currently, the Benner Pike Walmart Philly Pretzel Factory employs six people and is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday.

THE PHILLY PRETZEL FACTORY is enjoying success in its new location. The store recently moved from Allen Street in State College to the Benner Pike Walmart.
Spanier asked to detail defamation claim By The Associated Press HARRISBURG — The man who led Penn State’s internal probe into the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal demanded Tuesday that the school’s former president elaborate on claims that he was defamed during the investigation. Ex-Penn State President Graham Spanier has sued former FBI director Louis Freeh, who led the school’s investigation, for defamation. Spanier sued in a one-page writ while seeking more time to file a full legal complaint, and he also wants his civil suit put on hold while he defends Sandusky-linked criminal charges. However, lawyers for Freeh said the defamation charge is clouding their client’s reputation, and they object to a delay. “Spanier has succeeded in garnering headlines for suing Judge Freeh without having to provide any substantiation,” they said in their motion Tuesday. University trustees had hired Freeh to conduct an internal investigation into the school’s handling of complaints about Sandusky, the former assistant football coach since convicted of molesting boys on and off campus.

Good riddance to trans fats If eliminating a tasteless and easily replaceable ingredient from the nation’s food supply would save 7,000 lives and prevent 20,000 heart attacks a year, we’d do it, right? Of course, we would. But because of timid regulators and industry inertia, it took a couple of decades to do so after the health dangers of artery-clogging trans fats were first recognized. But last week, the federal Food and Drug Administration announced plans to begin eliminating artificial trans fats from the nation’s food supplies. Consumers are unlikely to notice the absence of the fats, largely used in fried fast food, baked goods and processed foods requiring a long shelf life. The Associated Press says that Dunkin’ Donuts sold 50 million doughnuts made with a trans-fat substitute to see if any customers noticed. Apparently none did. Dale McFeatters The ban will have some food manuis a columnist for facturers scrambling for replacements Scripps-Howard News Service. for trans fat, a specially treated form of vegetable oil originally concocted in the early 1900s as a cheaper substitute for butter and lard. But the impact on manufacturers was largely mitigated because regulators have been telegraphing their punch for years. In 2003, for example, the FDA began requiring food labels to list the number of grams of trans fat per serving. The crusade really took off when it was taken up by New York City Mayor — and food-safety maven — Michael Bloomberg, who initiated a ban that was phased in over three years and took full effect in 2008. The health-conscious mayor has succeeded in driving most tobacco smokers in his city outdoors. He has been less successful in limiting the sale of large, heavily sugared drinks. Bloomberg must leave office Jan. 1, and at least some of his healthy-New-Yorker campaign will survive. His first health commissioner, Dr. Thomas Frieden, is now head of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Bloomberg’s successor, Bill de Blasio, at least says he’s committed to the mayor’s public-health initiatives. And Bloomberg has a well-funded foundation to carry on his work. But New York City, with its huge population and ability to move markets, is unique in having had a mayor relentless and wealthy enough to ignore what the special-interest groups think.

Opinion

Obama’s credibility keeps eroding James Carville is a very, very bright guy, so I was taken aback to see him recently on Fox’s “The O’Reilly Factor,” arguing that President Barack Obama did not mislead the nation in an oft-repeated promise that no one would lose his or her health insurance policy because of the Affordable Care Act. So what about all those policies recently canceled because they did not meet the law’s standards? Why, they weren’t really, truly policies because they did not cover very much, he explained, adding that the president could have made “a more nuanced, accurate statement.” Jay Ambrose is Sorry, but the a columnist for bit about “nuScripps-Howard ance” is disinNews Service. genuous and the bit about an insurance policy not being an insurance policy is inane, on the order of saying an automobile is not an automobile because of high gas mileage. A worse-than-desired level of performance does not dictate that a thing has lost its identity, as any logical brain will instruct you. And Obama absolutely sounded as if he were talking about the whole universe of health insurance policies when he made his perfectly clear pledge, ending one with the word “period.” Does it follow that I am upset with Carville, the usually convivial, some-
JAY AMBROSE
times passionate former campaign strategist for President Bill Clinton? No. Just the opposite. I am grateful that he defended Obama with wackiness. In trying to exculpate the president from obvious chicanery that way, Carville, other progressives, the president’s own dutiful press secretary and the president himself are parading a scary truth about themselves. It is that politics and ideology rule over reason that might otherwise bring them to truth. For further enlightenment about one aspect of this phenomenon, turn to a book by Daniel J. Flynn called “Intellectual Morons: How Ideology Makes Smart People Fall for Stupid Ideas.” The author looks at such ideologies as communism, environmentalism, feminism, multiculturalism and animal rights and says that while the “core idea” of some of these movements may be “laudable,” you have to watch out for “true believers.” The most adamant of these will conclude that the ideological end justifies immoral means, that good “intentions” matter more than “outcomes” and that anything done in the name of the cause is “noble.” For such people, he says, ideology “deludes, inspires dishonesty and breeds fanaticism.” The 2004 book is loaded with powerful examples of what Flynn is talking about. There was, for instance, Herbert Marcuse, a hero of the New Left some decades back as he “preached that freedom is totalitarianism, democracy is dictatorship, education is indoctrination, violence is nonviolence and fiction is truth.” In the realm of radical environmentalism, we have Professor Paul Ehrlich of Stanford University. In a
1968 book on population growth, he said science showed how tens of millions would soon be dying yearly of famine and how, by 1984, we in the United States wouldn’t have enough water to keep us alive. Remember those awful days? Neither do I. Maybe I shouldn’t even bring up Peter Singer, a bioethics professor at Princeton who argues that scientific experiments on animals should be prohibited, although human sex with them is sometimes OK. He not only thinks that abortion is always permissible, but that killing newborns, if they are disabled or unaffordable, is not the same as killing a full-fledged person. Author Flynn has quarrels with some on the right, such as the Ayn Rand Objectivists who endorse that philosopher’s embrace of selfishness, and there is cause for worrying about that. It still falls short of laxity about baby killing. Despite the myth of progressive intellectuals being head and shoulders higher than conservative or libertarian intellectuals, it seems to me the leftists in general are far less attuned to reality and common sense than these counterparts. The intellectual pretenses of the left too often evaporate into nothingness when the evidential heat is turned up. A prime example of the moment is a health care act designed to fit the ideological supposition that government knows better on anything and everything than individual citizens and should intervene massively — which is to say recklessly — when there are problems. It’s coming apart, and so is the credibility of its defenders.
NFL tries to tackle bullying problem As if the NFL didn’t have enough problems with head injuries and an increasing public awareness about how dangerous its business can be, evidently it now has to deal with incidents of sophomoric behavior from elephantine players with egos to match who never have grown up. Anyone who has pledged a college fraternity knows what’s coming when he decides to join: a freshman year of rather constant badgering from those already initiated and who had to put up with it themselves. It’s called hazing, and it’s all in the name of fun — until it isn’t. Dan K. Thomasson And that is is a columnist for more frequent Scripps-Howard News Service. than anyone would like. I don’t know if it still involves regularly being swatted in the butt with a paddle, as in my day. There are worse things, including constant emotional stress. Most of the men/boys in the NFL come out of a college atmo-
DAN K. THOMASSON
sphere where the chances are pretty good they have some knowledge of what goes on in fraternities, even if they hadn’t actually joined one. So throughout league history, rookies have been subjected to some of the same kind of juvenile treatment as the average college-frat pledge has. Mostly locker-room buffoonery seems quite harmless: being forced to sing a school fight song or run an errand or even pay big bucks for a dinner out with your older colleagues with huge appetites. While it can be quite expensive, it isn’t as though these “underclassmen” aren’t wellpaid. Other times, however, it becomes more oppressive — as apparently in the case of two players on the Miami Dolphins, both linemen weighing over 300 pounds. Veteran Richie Incognito and rookie Jonathan Martin have become the center of an investigation into what could be an embarrassing (to the league) hazing scandal. It is alleged that tattooed veteran Incognito, who has a reputation for nastiness that stems from his college days at Nebraska, has been taking the tradition more than a bit too far. As in bullying. He allegedly subjected Martin, a prep-school and Stanford product with a penchant for classical music and the humanities, to constant insults, including comments said to be
racist. Incognito is white and Martin is black. Martin, a second-round draft pick, has packed his bag and left, and Incognito has been suspended. All this has forced the NFL to tackle a problem mostly ignored over the years by coaches who necessarily care only about winning — and forget the small stuff. They don’t have time to micromanage the workplace environment that at times seems more like a sandbox occupied by brats. Well, now — boys will be boys, don’t you know. So what if there is a little sadistic style horseplay? It relieves the tension in the violent world that is American football. Actually, the argument goes, it makes the players closer and more a part of the team. At least, that’s the pop psychology spouted to rationalize this unreal world. No one expects these guys to be gentle about much of anything given the nature of the game. But it is not too much to expect them to keep their mitts off each other and their comments to themselves, especially if the player’s on the same team. I was 18 the last time anyone hit me on the backside with a paddle, and I decided that sort of nonsense was unacceptable. Martin decided the same thing.

J.C. Blair offers 3-D mammography From Gazette staff reports HUNTINGDON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The newest FDAapproved technology for breast imaging is available at the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Imaging Center at J.C. Blair Memorial Hospital in Huntingdon. Digital breast tomosynthesis (3-D mammography) has been shown to be superior to digital mammography, offering the added ability to find very small cancers or rule out â&#x20AC;&#x153;false positivesâ&#x20AC;? and reduce the number of women who are called back for a diagnostic mammogram. While digital mammography is still one of the most advanced technologies available today, it is only a two-dimensional, or flat, picture of the breast. Digital Breast Tomosynthesis uses high-powered computing to convert digital breast images into a stack of very thin layers, building what is essentially a three-dimensional mammogram.
Providing exceptional rehabilitation services personalized to you
J.C. Blairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff of certified mammography technologists and board-certified radiologist have been specially trained in 3-D mammography. When scheduling and registering for a mammogram at J.C. Blair, women will be offered the option of having the 3-D mammogram or a traditional digital mammogram. Depending on the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insurance, there could be a small additional fee for a 3-D mammogram. Patients should check with their insurance providers to see if the new procedure is covered. In addition to its regular hours, J.C. Blairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Imaging Center offers evening and Saturday hours for screening mammograms. The center performs more than 4,000 mammograms a year.

Text campaign to benefit military and veteran students From Gazette staff reports
UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Campus will launch its first-ever cell phone text campaign during the Nov. 16 Penn State-Purdue football game to raise funds for the World Campus annual Military Student Fund, which helps currently serving military personnel and veteran students enrolled online in Penn State educational programs with expenses not covered by their military education benefits. During the game, Nittany Lion football fans will be asked to text keyword MILITARY to 50555 to donate $10 to the fund. One fund beneficiary is Air Force Capt. William Heitshusen, a pilot stationed at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. He is enrolled in the online masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree program in Homeland Securityâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Geospatial Intelligence Option, offered in partnership with the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am very thankful for the support I receive through the fund. Penn State World Campus provides the unique opportunity to pursue an advanced degree from a world-class institution completely online,â&#x20AC;? said Heitshusen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been able to take classes while away from home on missions and even continued my education while deployed to a combat zone.â&#x20AC;? Other military and veteran students are also benefiting from this fundraising cam-
paign, too, including Marine Corps veteran Mandi Douglass, who is enrolled in the bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in criminal justice program, offered in partnership with the Penn State Harrisburg School of Public Affairs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two months from graduation, my G.I. Bill benefits will end,â&#x20AC;? said Douglass, who lives in San Antonio, Texas, with husband Deylon, who serves in the Army, and children GiAna and Malakai. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I chose the World Campus, because online learning works around my schedule,â&#x20AC;? added Douglass, who was deployed to Kuwait during the Iraq War. For Mark Kennedy, of Aliso Viejo, Calif., who was an undergraduate at University Park campus in the 1980s prior to joining the Marine Corps, the World Campus offered the chance to continue his education. Now married to Jill and the parent of Mark, Ryan, Jacqueline and Braeden, Kennedy reconnected with Penn State after attending a football game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My military adviser helped me with my education game plan,â&#x20AC;? said Kennedy, who is taking business courses with the help of the World Campus military grant-in-aid. He also serves in the Marine Corps Reserves and works as an independent financial contractor. Learn more about World Campus programs at www.worldcampus.psu.edu.

SPRING MILLS — On Veterans Day, the seventh and eighth grade classes of Penns Valley High School gathered in the school auditorium to honor military service veterans, past and present. After an introduction and welcome by Principal Dustin Dalton, local Boy and Girl Scouts presented the colors, placing American and state flags on the stage. The auditorium, with walls lined with hundreds of paper stars representing local veterans, was filled with students and about 20 local veterans. The National Anthem was played by the Penns Valley Band, directed by Darris DeRemer, then the first guest speaker, David Martin, was introduced. Martin served in the military, having been inspired by his grandfather and uncle, who were World War II veterans. “I felt that I needed to honor and serve my country in some way,” said Martin. He gave a short history of the Veterans Day holiday. It was originally called Armistice Day, marking the Nov. 11, 1919 signing of the armistice which ended World War I. In 1954, it became Veterans Day, and was designated to honor all American military veterans who served in war or during peace. “Veterans Day is not only a day to remember the past and present soldiers, it’s also to remember that we have as an obligation to safeguard the precious legacy of our founding fathers,” said Martin. Eighth graders Abigail Martin, Morgan
Rockey, Jessye Smith, Ashley Griffith and Sydney Riegel read poems they wrote, following the theme “America is ...”. The next speakers were Sal and Polly Nicosia, both of whom have served in the military. Sal Nicosia noted that serving in the military stays with a person for life. “I wasn’t born a soldier, but I’ll die a soldier,” said Nicosia. “Being a veteran brings a sense of honor, a sense of commitment, a self-awareness of who you are, what position you hold in this world, and what you’re going to stand for long term.” Polly Nicosia, who currently serves in the Army National Guard, noted a long list of veterans in her family, going back to her great-grandfather, who served in the Civil War. She said her 14 years of military service gave her the confidence to do things she never thought she could do. “I am a better person today because of my military service,” she said. More eighth grade poems were read by Millena Dorman, Rebecca Seibel, Adeline Bair and Dayna Brown. The final speaker of the day was Penns Valley Technology Education teacher Andy Landis, a veteran who served in Afghanistan. Landis presented a slide show of photos taken during his military service in Afghanistan. His photos showed many aspects of his life in Afghanistan, especially his outfit’s interaction with the Afghan civilians. Landis read several letters he had received in Afghanistan, which were written by elementary school students in the

He expressed his gratitude for the letters and support from the people at home. “You have an impact on helping us do what we do, and I greatly appreciate that” said Landis. He urged the students to show
their gratitude to veterans. “Every time you see veterans, go up and shake their hands. It means a lot to them,” he said. The program concluded with the retiring of the colors, followed by the playing of Taps.

CUB SCOUTS from Pack 20 gathered to collect food for the Centre Hall-Potter Food Bank.
Centre Hall Scouts participate in Scouting for Food program By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
CENTRE HALL — Early last Saturday morning, Cub Scouts from Pack 20 in Centre Hall met at Grace United Methodist Church. A week prior to that, the Cubs had placed tags on the doors of residents, requesting donations of non-perishable food items. Now they were ready to collect those donations. Cub Scout leaders and parents drove the boys around Centre Hall, picking up bags of food that had been placed on the residents’ porches. The donations were collected for the Centre Hall-Potter Food Bank, located in the basement of Grace United Methodist Church. According to the food bank’s coordinator, Bonnie Brown, the food collected by the Scouts was brought to her residence for temporary storage. “This is just the overflow,” Brown
said.“Now we have to check the dates and sort it.” Several pickup trucks filled with bags of food items began arriving at the Browns’ house around 10:30 a.m. The Cubs and leaders unloaded the bags, while more loads of food that had been collected in Potter Township by Boy Scouts from Troop 20 in Centre Hall arrived. The food will be distributed from the food bank later this month. The Scouting for Food program was started in 1985 in St. Louis, and was quickly adopted by Scout across the country. In the Law of the Pack, a Cub Scout gives goodwill, and in the Boy Scout Promise, a Boy Scout promises to help other people at all times. The Scouting for Food program gives Scouts a chance to fulfill those promises. Through the years, thousands of troops and packs nationwide have collected tens of millions of pounds of food which is distributed to their needy neighbors.
STATE COLLEGE — Anita Ditz, head of children’s services at the Schlow Centre Region Library in State College, is the winner of the 2014 Pennsylvania Library Association’s Distinguished Service Award. The award recognizes individuals who have given exceptional meritorious service to libraries in the commonwealth. Ditz has been a librarian at Schlow Centre Region Library for 30 years. During her tenure, she has formed partnerships with community agencies that led to local awards, six state “Best Practices” citations, and state and national recognition for Schlow’s Family Place program. Her passion for early learning services raised Schlow Library’s profile in the State College community, and connected it with local funders who helped the library develop a full slate of services for children of all ages. At the state level, Ditz advocated for the creation of a state youth services po-
sition in the State Library, a mission that was accomplished in 2001. She has been an active committee member since 2008 for “One Book, Every Young Child,” a reading program that garnered national plaudits for Pennsylvania. She has also particiANITA DITZ pated in numerous other committees and activities of Commonwealth Libraries and the Pennsylvania Library Association. Overall, Ditz has been a keystone in the growth of library services for young children in Pennsylvania. A public reception for Ditz will be held from 4 to 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 22, at Schlow Library, 211 S. Allen St. in State College. The reception is open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
PAWS ADOPT-A-PET
Dickinson, a young female tabby, is extra eager to find her own forever family since her sister Bronte was adopted earlier this month. Dickinson and her sisters came to PAWS after being born to a feral mom and found by their rescuer. Dickinson is sweet-tempered and affectionate and loves to be petted. Since she is on the shy side, Dickinson would do best in a home with older kids and other gentle cats. She has not had much experience around dogs. You can read more about Dickinson at www.centrecountypaws.org/cats or visit her in person at PAWS, 1401 Trout Road in State College. Dickinson has a Guardian Angel, who has already paid her adoption fee as a gift to her forever family.

Rediscovering Happy Valley: Webster’s Bookstore & Café STATE COLLEGE — During my undergraduate days at Penn State, I enrolled in a creative writing class, at the end of which the professor met with the students individually to discuss the grade we received on our last projects and to allow us to ask questions. I met with him outside Webster’s Bookstore & Café, when it was located on South Allen Street. It was an informal and friendly environment. He smoked cigarettes and talked about the newborn baby he and his wife just welcomed into the world. I’m not John Patishnock one for overwriting, is a Centre County but sitting at that table native, and his on a busy sidewalk stories on how made me feel like I he’s reconnecting was literally in another to the area will be showcased in world, far from Happy “Rediscovering Valley. Happy Valley,” a If you read this column that will column, it’s obvious I run every other possess a strong infinweek in the Centre ity for Penn State, but County Gazette. that passion doesn’t stem from enjoying just the obvious activities the area offers. There’s a lot more out there, probably more than people think, and Webster’s is a great example.
JOHN PATISHNOCK
The location has changed — the store is now located on East Beaver Avenue — but the feeling is the same. Webster’s is this awesomely unique universe in which you can buy a Bruce Springsteen vinyl record and a book on screenwriting, and then get a drink and sit down a few feet away at the in-store café. If you’re a regular, you can even have your own mug set aside on a shelf for when you stop in and want a drink. During my two visits there last week, I bought six books, all on film and theater. As soon as I found the section on film, I immediately sat down, Indian-style, and began flipping through the pages of a book like a kid playing with his first toy. Webster’s isn’t your typical mainstream bookstore, and that’s a good thing. To get to the section on theater, you have to make your way around a non-working piano; I’ve learned a musician is going to recycle the piano, tearing it apart and using the raw materials to make new instruments. Off to the side, books waiting to be shelved are temporarily housed in an empty Otto’s Brewery cardboard box that previously was the home to some India Pale Ale. Books are reasonably priced — I bought those six for around $25 — and there’s an inherent positive quality that comes from supporting a local business that’s about 100 yards from the University Park campus. I stopped by last Monday to speak with owner Elaine Meder-Wilgus, a State Col-
Talk with your Kids
lege High School and Penn State graduate. Her name continually came up as I spoke with playwrights, professors and other creative people in the area. It was the first time we met, but she made me feel immediately welcomed. I was invited to a poetry reading two days later and I took her up on the offer. Jason Crane, who just moved to the area and who hosts a podcast during which he interviews jazz musicians, brainstormed the event and doubled as emcee. It was fun and casual. A handful of poets read their works for about an hour, a book was given away in a raffle, and people told stories. Jason shared a poem that he wrote about his two sons and another writer opined on what he considered people’s misguided obsession with bombs. Then the featured poet, Dave Bonta, who lives just outside of Tyrone, read a few banjoinspired poems that were set against video and music. People were inspired and the signs were there that the event has staying power. I’ve never given much serious thought to writing poetry on a regular basis, but I enjoy hearing the works of other writers. It helps me think and work through the process of trying to string together sentences in an interesting and compelling manner, whether I’m writing a story on deadline for the Centre County Gazette or a screenplay that I’ll submit to national contests. That’s one of the main reasons why I moved back to Penn State, for the chance to work with inspired, motivated and gifted people, and Webster’s affords me this great opportunity.
JOHN PATISHNOCK/For The Gazette
WEBSTER’S BOOKSTORE and Café is one of the unique businesses located in downtown State College.
When I was talking with Elaine, her voice rose and she became slightly animated when thinking of all the different creative people who stop into her store and with whom I could connect. Ideas continually came to her about how residents and storytellers could get together and express themselves through writing. She was genuinely excited. I know the feeling.

Millheim folk festival honors legendary musicologist
Birth Announcements
By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
MILLHEIM â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Elk Creek CafĂŠ and Aleworks in Millheim recently hosted the sixth annual Harry Smith Folk Music Festival, which is held in honor of the late Harry Smith, an archivist, musicologist, film maker, artist, mystic and collector of 78 rpm records. Smith worked with Smithsonian Records in 1952 to produce the Harry Smith Anthology of American Folk Music, a multivolume work that is not well known in recent times, but which revived many blues, string band and Cajun recordings made between 1927 and 1933. The anthology featured more than 100 recordings, and its release represented the first time American folk and traditional music like this had appeared in together in one source. These recordings were highly influential in American music and, some would argue, single-handedly jumpstarted the folk revival of the mid-20th century. They shaped the music of performers and artists such as Bob Dylan, the Grateful Dead, Elvis Costello and many others. One of the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guest performers was 81-year-old John Cohen, a musicologist, film maker and musician, who was a personal friend of and collaborator with Smith. Cohen played in the New Lost City Ramblers, a band influential during the folk revival of the 1950s and early 1960s. His photographs captured the Greenwich Village folk scene, and included some famous photos of a very young Bob Dylan. Cohen and Smith revived the music of old-time Appalachian singers and musicians, bringing it to new audiences. Cohen also made several films, including 1962â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;High Lonesome Sound,â&#x20AC;? the title of which was later used to define a term for a specific style of bluegrass music. Festival organizer Kai Shafft addressed the crowd, crediting Cohenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work for influencing Shafft to study folk and bluegrass music, which ultimately led him to form his band Chicken Tractor Deluxe and to begin the Harry Smith Festival in Millheim. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really important work, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re glad to have him here,â&#x20AC;? said Shafft. Cohen performed several songs on vocals and banjo with the Downhill Strugglers. He showed a short film that he shot in 1967 of Sara and Maybelle Carter, of the Carter Family singers. Speaking of his work with Smith, Cohen said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was wonderful back in those days. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what we were doing. There was no income from it, there was no commercial use for it, and there was no future in it, so in

that respect it was all very pure.â&#x20AC;? Cohen said he sees a present-day nationwide movement of young people picking up the folk and bluegrass music tradition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a mass movement, but there are more people playing this music now then when we played it,â&#x20AC;? Cohen said. The festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other performances featured Hubby Jenkins of the Carolina Chocolate Drops and Ramblinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Dan Stevens, a Delta blues bottleneck slide guitarist. Also in the lineup were The Bored Again Christians from Philadelphia, Chicken Tractor Deluxe featuring guitarist Andy Tolins, and local bands The Poe Valley Troubadours and Chris Rattieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bullyraggers. That dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proceeds went to benefit the Penns Valley HOPE Fund, a local charity which assists families in the Penns Valley area facing medical crises and/or personal disasters. The Elk Creek CafĂŠ was filled to capacity for this event with crowds of more than 100 bluegrass and folk music lovers who expressed their delight with plenty of cheers and applause for the excellent performances. The festival has become a major event in the folk music scene, annually attracting people from all over the northeastern United States to Millheim.

Turkey Tracking CONNIE COUSINS
Connie Cousins covers Centre County for the Centre County Gazette. Email her at correspondent@ centrecounty gazette. com
You probably won’t have to track your turkey, call him or shoot him, but there are some things that you need to do to keep your holiday meal on track. No. 1 is, of course, making a plan. Have you decided who is hosting Thanksgiving dinner or any other special meals? Once the location and host are decided, it is time to divvy up the chores and the courses. I think today’s cooks have gotten past the “I have to do it all” mentality — at least I hope so. Fond memories of “Aunt Sue’s sweet potatoes” or “Grandma’s rolls” can almost cause hunger pangs, but the orchestration of such a traditional feast can be overwhelming. Be certain to find out what each guest or family plans to bring so there will be no omissions of someone’s “must have” dish. You can also roast the meat or poultry and buy the sides if time is an issue. You don’t have to serve every item that you remember from Thanksgiv-

ings past. Usually, when people marry, there must be compromise on what traditions from each family to preserve. Did your grandmother always make the gravy? Did your mother put the stuffing inside or outside of the bird? Maybe it’s time to stop having green bean casserole. In the 1950s and 1960s, salads made with Jell-O, fruit, cream cheese and topped with whipped cream were popular. Most people steer away from those calorie-laden dishes today in favor of lighter sides. One of the chief goals in planning for the holidays is to save time. A little more free time can provide a half hour to visit an older neighbor or drop a homemade treat off to a friend. You may want to take advantage of the pre-cut vegetables available for that onion and celery stuffing or purchase prepared pie crusts. There was a time when I felt I had to make my usual pies from scratch. My daughter brought the pumpkin pies one year. They were delicious and she admitted that she bought the ready-made crust. I never worried about pie crust again. If I have time and feel like it, I make the crust. If not, no one seems to care. Of course you can always ask someone else to pick up a pie as their contribution to the day’s festivities. Whatever your family’s choices, plan early and take time to look at the coupons and special sales that are prevalent this time of year. Looking around at local grocery stores, I saw that one offered pumpkin pies at $4.99, with a lattice-topped apple for $6.99. Take a moment, too, if it is you who is cooking the turkey, to look at ads and compare before you shop. A local store manager at Trader Joe’s told me his fresh turkeys would be here in about two weeks and can be purchased brined or plain. Chad Miller, the meat manager at Giant on Benner Pike said their fresh turkeys should be in by Nov. 15, with prices ranging from around $1.59 to $2 per pound. Fresh turkeys are great time savers; if you choose a frozen turkey, remember to look up how long it takes to thaw.
Food and wine are perfect for each other By SAMI HULINGS

As the holidays are now officially upon us, ’tis the season for celebrations full of rich and festive foods and wines. Whether you serve turkey, ham, seafood or lamb at holiday dinners, there is likely a wine that pairs well with each option. Properly pairing these foods with their wine counterparts can ensure your guests are jolly with holiday cheer. Though it may seem like a daunting task, pairing wines with holiday foods doesn’t have to be challenging. Always remember that very few wine and food matches

There is nothing worse than picking ice out of a frigid bird the morning of Thanksgiving! How do I know? Well, that’s a story for another time. I spoke with Executive Chef Steve Ast of Wegman’s and he offered tips to help customers have a stress-free holiday. “ If you don’t need a whole turkey or just want to avoid the cooking altogether, there are tasty stuffed turkey breasts ready to heat. On Thanksgiving, we will stock the food bar with all the traditional foods for a complete dinner,” he said. He also noted that Wegman’s offers pamphlets that describe all you need to know about roasting turkey or any other poultry or meat. He suggested that cooks go to Wegman’s website for menus, recipes and tips. At Trader Joe’s, you can pick up a turkey breast with cranberry/apple stuffing for two people, ready to roast, for approximately $17. No fuss, and the store promises the meals are tasty. Other grocery stores offer the same type of help online. At Weis Markets’ website, there was a list of great side dish recipes. I also found wonderful recipes on Pinterest, many of which can be made ahead of time and safely refrigerated one or two days ahead of the main items. Remember, space in the oven won’t be an issue if you allow guests to bring offerings to your dinner. Ladies and gentlemen, we can create new traditions and spend less time in the kitchen. Really, what do you remember most about Thanksgivings? I remember getting together with family and all that it involves. I decided one year to ask the kids to say what they were thankful for, and the responses from the little ones were priceless. My daughter always wanted to get out the Christmas decorations as soon as the meal was eaten. Entering the living room after the dishes were done, I found the men in the family dozing, with loud football sounds in the background. Although my Thanksgivings are different now, the best part is still the time spent with those I love.

are horribly bad. As long as there is enough wine for the event — including a varied assortment of reds and whites — and you stay within your budget, it is hard to go wrong. Simply plan for your holiday party by coordinating the number of guests with the number of bottles you need to purchase. A good rule of thumb to follow is one bottle of wine will be uncorked per two wine-drinking adults. To start the evening off, a general guideline is to match sparkling white wines with appetizers like cured meats, salted nuts and cheeses. The bubbly will help to kick off the celebration, and the crispness of champagne goes well with meal starters. Though you should coordinate the flavors of the food with wines for your main course, always keep in mind what your guests like. Even if a dry wine pairs better with a certain dish, it won’t work well if most of your guests prefer sweet wines. Turkey dishes go well with the crisp sophisticated texture and structure of chardonnay. Each local winery offers its own version of the oaky flavored white wine. If ham will be gracing your dining table, both red and white wines of various flavors pair just fine. Be daring and try something different. Seven Mountains Wine Cellars’ Yellow Jacket, a light seasonal apple wine, tastes great with pork. Happy Valley Vineyard & Winery’s Autumn Wood also pairs nicely with pork dishes, as does Mt. Nittany Vineyard & Winery’s Lion Country Blush.

The Nittany Lions, 5-4 overall, are 0-3 in road games so far this season against Big Ten teams with losses at Indiana, Ohio State, and now, Minnesota. Saturday’s game against the Golden Gophers was truly a story of two vastly different halves of football. In the first half, the Penn State defense was unable to stop Minnesota — at all. After recovering Bill Belton’s fumble on the first play of the game, Minnesota immediately cashed in with a 45-yard field goal by Chris Hawthorne. From there, the Gophers scored touchdowns on the rest of their first-half possessions, all after drives of 70 or more yards. First, running back David Cobb, who ran 27 times for 139 yards in the game, scored on a 1-yard run after a 15-play drive. Then quarterback Philip Nelson took it in from 6 yards out midway through the second period to cap a 12-play drive. Finally, on a third-and-10 from the 24, and UM up by a touchdown, Nelson found tight end Maxx Williams open in the end zone to finish off the Gophers’ third consecutive long touchdown drive. Williams’ catch put Minnesota ahead 24-10 with just 17 seconds left in the half. But Penn State was moving the ball as well. Behind the running of Zach Zwinak (27 runs for 139 yards) and Belton (7 for 47 yards) the Nittany Lions scored on a 12-yard run by Zwinak to pull to within 10-7, and then a 27-yard Sam Ficken field goal that made it 17-10 with just over three minutes left in the second quarter. Williams’ touchdown, on one of Minne-

sota’s many third and fourth down conversions, badly hurt Penn State, but it did not change what the Nittany Lions had to accomplish in the second half — somehow get some stops against the Minnesota offense and turn them into points. Unfortunately for the Lions, they were able to do only one of those things. The defense made some adjustments at halftime and played markedly better. Minnesota did make some more long runs, especially from deep in its own territory, but Penn State did not allow a point after Williams’ catch in the second quarter. But the offense, hurt by two turnovers, was time and again turned away by Minnesota without points. Penn State drove into Badger territory three times but was unable to score on any of them. The final straw came when quarterback Christian Hackenberg failed to handle a snap on the Minnesota 1-yard line late in the game, and the Gophers recovered. The Nittany Lions literally began and ended the game the same way — with a turnover. “I thought the defense, they came out and played well in the second half,” Penn State head coach Bill O’Brien said, “made some good adjustments in the second half and did a nice job. Offensively we didn’t pick up our end of the bargain on that in the second half, so that’s disappointing. “We couldn’t make any plays down in the red area. That’s what it came down to. We just didn’t score the touchdowns.” Penn State finished with 353 yards of offense. Hackenberg had 14 completions on 25 attempts for 163 yards, and Allen

PENN STATE quarterback Christian Hackenberg struggled away from home again, fumbling at the goal line during Saturday’s loss at Minnesota. The true freshman has not won a road game yet.
Robinson set the all-time Penn State single season receiving record after catching seven passes for 63 yards. “I think our guys played with great effort,” O’Brien said. “I don’t have any problem with the way they played. I told them in the locker room, number one, we are going to coach them better. Number two, we’re going to make sure that we do everything we can as a coaching staff to help
these seniors go out as winners.” This week, the Purdue Boilermakers come into Beaver Stadium with a 1-8 record overall and an 0-5 mark in the Big Ten. Before dismissing them because of those numbers, however, it should be noted that Purdue has played one of the most difficult schedules in the country. The Boilermakers’ lone win came against Indiana State in Week 2, and their losses have come at the hands of Cincinnati, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Northern Illinois, Nebraska, Michigan State, Ohio State and Iowa. Not a slouch in that crowd. Purdue puts up 259 yards of offense per game, which includes 191 yards passing. Gopher, Page 18
Purdue provides Lions with rebound and risk By BEN JONES StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State hasn’t been great this year, but the Nittany Lions have lost two straight games only once under O’Brien, meaning the Nittany Lions don’t let losses snowball — which counts for something. This week, the rebound “du jour” comes in the form of the Purdue Boilermakers. Sitting at 1-8, Purdue could provide Penn State’s offense with a much needed spark and restart as the Nittany Lions look to complete the final three-game stretch of the season.
So far this year, Purdue has give up 40 or more points five different times while maxing out offensively at 24 points twice during 2013. Even as Penn State has struggled to produce on offense on a consistent basis, the Boilermakers are the perfect target for a late season revival after losing three of the last five games. Purdue’s defense has been poor (37 points per game, ranked 112th nationally), and the offense has not done much better at 11 points per contest. A perfect opponent for a team looking for a win. But, playing Purdue also comes with an undeniable risk. Lose, and only questions
will follow. Penn State and O’Brien face plenty of hurdles on a regular basis, many of which are not of their own doing thanks to the NCAA. But at the end of the day, Penn State has many talented players on both sides of the ball and has at times underperformed with those players. Youth, inexperience and depth are a real factor on Penn State’s roster, but if the Nittany Lions’ struggles continue into this weekend’s meeting with Purdue, tougher questions will and should be asked of O’Brien and his staff. There is little doubt that what O’Brien has done for the program has gone far be-
yond the expectations of many. His efforts off the field alone have helped hold the program — and in some respects the university — together. Those sorts of things cannot be discredited. But at the end of the day, even burdened with sanctions and youth, Penn State should win this weekend’s game. The Nittany Lions are a 13-point favorite in Vegas, which is as scientific as one can get while picking a favorite in any sporting contest. So, there is little doubt that this weekend is as much an opportunity for victory as it is a must-win situation for O’Brien and his program.

The good, the bad and the ugly It was another tough road defeat for the Nittany Lions this week. Penn State struggled in all phases of the game in a 24-10 loss at Minnesota on Saturday afternoon. There was plenty of blame to go around after the loss. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the good, bad and ugly from the 14-point defeat that dropped Penn State to 5-4 overall. The Good — Zach Zwinak. The running back looked like his old self, carrying the ball 26 times for 150 yards and a touchdown. He ran over and through Minnesota tacklers, averaging nearly 6 yards per carry. He appears to have shaken off the turnover blues that put him on the bench to begin with. He’s going to be a key cog if the Lions are going to win the final three games of the season. The Bad — Turnovers. Once again, the Nittany Lions turned the ball over at critical times. Running back Bill Belton fumbled to start the game, and freshman quarterback Christian Hackenberg put the ball on the turf near the goal line. Penn State appeared poised to slice into the Golden Gophers’ lead, but Hack fumbled. Once again, Penn State figured out ways to make mistakes in critical situations. The Ugly — Road woes. The Nittany Lions have yet to win a conference road game. They have self-destructed in losses to Indiana, Ohio State and Minnesota. The Lions will have one more shot at redemption on Nov. 30, when they travel to Madison, Wisc., to face the Badgers. — Chris Morelli

Hilday powers Huskies over State High in playoff tilt By JUSTIN PACKER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — Have no doubts about it — there is a new rivalry in the area. Mifflin County and State College have seen each other a little over a handful of times on the gridiron. With each contest, a little fuel is thrown on the fire. Late in October, the Little Lions walked out of Mifflin County victorious, thanks to a late-game touchdown to secure a 26-21 victory for State College. Friday night, at Memorial Stadium, the storyline seemed to be following along the same way, until the Huskies flipped the script and stunned the Little Lions in District 6/9 playoff football, 27-26. “Hats off to State College,” Mifflin County coach George Miskinis said. “It was a great high school football game, truly a playoff game. It came down to who was going to make the final stop. Both teams played their very best. It was a slugfest; a very physical game. They are a very wellcoached football team. State High has really good athletes and our kids just refused to lose tonight and we were able to make one more play to get the win.” Down 27-26, with a little more than a minute remaining, State High stood just 48 yards from victory. To that point, the Little Lion offense seemed to find their groove in the fourth quarter, scoring on their last two possessions. But the Huskies answered the called and came after State College, forcing a sack on the opening play of the drive and an incompletion, putting the Little Lions into a third-and-23 situation. SC wasn’t able to find their footing and failed to convert on a fourth-and-15. “I think the big thing on the first play of the last minute drive was that we were able to get a quarterback sack,” Miskinis said. “IT set them back and got them into a long
situation and that makes a very uncomfortable play calling for anybody. I think that changed the momentum of the game. When the game is on the line, any play at the end of the game is a big play. Tonight, we were able to make them.” It would be special teams, the kicking game — or lack thereof — that doomed State High. After a touchdown with 4:37 remaining in the game put the Little Lions up 26-20, they attempted an extra point — which sailed just wide. “We were forced to go to for two, we didn’t really have a strong kicking game,” State College coach Al Wolski said. “We went for two a couple of times. We thought to go for one was the thing to do there and we missed the extra point.” From that point, Mifflin County’s Heath Hidlay went to work. Starting on the MC 36-yard line, the Huskie senior rattled off a 46-yard run, settling up a first-and-10 from the 18-yard line with precious time coming off the clock. After a gutsy fourth down conversion on the drive, Hidlay — who finished the game with 162 yards on 26 carries — punched across his last of four touchdowns on the night, securing the victory for the visiting Huskies. “I think they were putting seven or eight in the box,” Hidlay said. “We started our power run game. That really helped me get five or six yards a clip.” State High quarterback Pat Irwin did what he could to keep help the Little Lions, going 10-of-21 for 127. He also led the Little Lions with 95 yards rushing on 14 carries. Time and again, the senior battled, converting on tough third downs and settling the offense when they got flustered. “Pat is a leader,” Wolski said. “These entire groups of seniors are leaders. By numbers, this was our largest core of seniors. They played their hearts out for us all season. They got better as each game progressed and

STATE COLLEGE Area High School’s Jordan Misher cuts through a hole during Friday night’s playoff game with Mifflin County. The Little Lions lost 27-26, ending their season. I am proud to have coached them.” State High got the scoring started as Irwin punched in a 1-yard keeper — capping a nine-play, 68-yard drive late in the first quarter. The two-point conversion failed. The Huskies answered right back on the next possession, as Hidlay’s 1-yard touchdown run put MC up 7-6 — after a successful PAT. After a Little Lion fumble, the Huskies were given the ball at the SC 5-yard line. Hidlay wasted little time, finding the end zone on the first snap after the turnover. After a successful Husky PAT, Mifflin County led 14-6. True to fashion, State College answered on their next drive. Irwin connected with John Weakland for a 42-yard touchdown
pass. The Little Lions tied the game at 14, with their successful two-point conversion. Coming out of the half, tied at 14, Hidlay landed his third touchdown of the game — this one a 14-yard scamper that put the Huskies up 20-14. Anthony Misher tied the game up early in the fourth quarter, working a jet sweep to the outside for 13 yards. After another failed conversion, the game was knotted up at 20 with 11:39 remaining in the game. The rest is history. Jordan Misher put the Little Lions on top with an 11-yard touchdown run, with 4:37 remaining to play; then Hidlay sealed the game for the Huskies with his 1-yard run. Mifflin County (5-6) will face DuBois in the District 6/9 Class AAAA finals.
Tyrone bounces BEA from postseason, 26-21 By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH
sports@centrecountygazette.com
TYRONE — Tyrone is a football team with a wealth of playoff experience and success, and the Golden Eagles did not really need a wake-up call to realize that Bald Eagle Area was intent on a big upset on Friday night. Yet BEA sent one anyway. With just under nine minutes to play in the third quarter, BEA quarterback Jason Jones threw a perfect pass down the right sideline that speedy senior Bryan Greene hauled in and took untouched for a 79-yard touchdown. The strike gave the Eagles a 14-point lead and served notice that they were more than able to take Tyrone out of the tournament. Fortunately for Tyrone, that experience was there, and it began to kick in after Greene’s touchdown. The Golden Eagles responded with 19 unanswered points, and then stifled a last-minute threat by BEA to hang on for an exciting 26-21 playoff victory over Bald Eagle. All-Everything tailback James Oliver, who rushed for 101 yards and three touchdowns, began the comeback with a 42-yard TD run, Elijah Sleeth scored on a 31-yard pick-6, and then Oliver put the winning points on the board with a 5-yard run with just over eight minutes in the game. “They (Tyrone) are a dangerous team,” BEA coach Jack

Tobias said, “and Oliver is a great tailback. To hold him at bay is tough to do. “We had a couple bad things. That pick for a touchdown, and that’s a back breaker to have that happen. Tyler (Shall) was running wide open, and two inches higher and we have a guy running and who knows where he ends up. But it’s a game of inches, and those things happen.” Tyrone opened the game with a long touchdown drive. The Golden Eagles took the opening kickoff and marched 80 yards on 12 plays with Oliver going in from the nine for his first score of the night. That was it for Tyrone in the first half. The BEA defense allowed Tyrone only 56 more yards in the half, and Greene tied the game in the last minute of the first quarter with the first of his three touchdowns — a 65-yard catch-and-run from Jones that made it 7-7. Then, late in the second quarter, the Eagles mounted a 10-play, 76-yard drive that ended with Greene’s second touchdown, a 34-yard pass from Jones, and gave BEA a 14-7 halftime lead. If Tyrone was still not aware of BEA’s resolve, Greene and Jones made it crystal clear with their third TD combination that put the Eagles on top 21-7 midway through the third quarter. The play was the seventh hookup between Greene and Jones. Greene finished the game with seven catches for 220 yards and three scores, and Jones was 9 for 17, 228 yards,

Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Burning Tee Golf League honors Hastings
WIN A
PENN STATE GAZETTE END OF SEASON GIVEAWAY!
The league has an 18-hole division and a 9-hole division. In addition, the league has nearly 10 different tournaments scheduled throughout the year, i.e., scramble format, and individual competition of various formats. Also, league members make several out-of-town golf trips to other golf courses throughout the golf season. Each April, the league has an annual spring meeting before the golf season begins. It is at this meeting where the league announces the teams and explains the rules, the schedule, and any special events for the upcoming season. New members find this is a great opportunity to mingle with league members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Golfers wanting answers to other concerns on the Burning Tee League can get in touch with me and I will be able to answer the questions,â&#x20AC;? stated Hastings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you would like to join the league, an application for membership is available and explains more about the league. Simply complete the form and return the one page to me and you are in. As for getting involved with the Penn State Burning Tee League, Hastings stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we would like to take this opportunity once more to invite others to join the Burning Tee League if you have not already done so. I am sure you will enjoy yourself.â&#x20AC;? As to the highlight of the season for the Burning Tee League, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The high mark of the season is being able to give over $26,000 to Mount Nittany Medical Center,â&#x20AC;? stated Hastings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got the idea for a way to raise funds by watching Vijay Singh on a golf tournament in 2008 where they said he donated $1,000 for every eagle he made on tour. I thought that was a great idea and, although I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford $1,000, I pledged $1 for every birdie I made and others followed with what ever amount they wanted to donate.

UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Penn State Burning Tee League recently held its season-ending banquet at the State College American Legion and took the opportunity to honor longtime member and president Don Hastings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Don does a lot of work to make the Burning Tee League (9 and 18 holes) run smoothly but he never complains. In fact, he seems to enjoy it,â&#x20AC;? stated member Ron Pifer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This includes developing a list of Burning Tee Play dates for each year, sending out updated weekly schedule reminders, deciding delays or rain outs, getting substitutes, organizing away matches and keeping the bulletin board in the locker room updated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Don personally looks over every scorecard and records each golferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s score in the pro shop computer,â&#x20AC;? stated Pifer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He spoils us and we love him for it! With his leadership, the Burning Tee has given over $26,000 to the Mount Nittany Medical Center. Members of the league and their families have assisted the Penn State golf staff run golfing fundraisers and Penn State activities.â&#x20AC;? Penn State PGA golf professional Joe Hughes agrees with Pifer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Don, with his leadership, in the offseason performs pro shop activities including bingo, tripoley, bowling and a trip to Myrtle Beach. He somehow also works in a trip to Georgia to play golf with his brother Al, or visit Pifer in Myrtle Beach to play golf with his cousin Jack Hastings and Ron,â&#x20AC;? he said. One of those annual southern trips resulted in Hastings meeting his longtime idol, Arnold Palmer, while golfing at Bay Hill in Florida.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was playing at Bay Hill and had the opportunity to meet my hero,â&#x20AC;? Hastings said of meeting the living legend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tried to talk with him and became very emotional every time I opened my mouth. Finally I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mr. Palmer have you ever looked up to someone like I have you for over 50 years, if you did you would know how I feel.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; He then made me feel like I was a longtime friend and tried to put me at ease.â&#x20AC;? This past summer, the Penn State golf course staff was invited to Palmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s course in Latrobe as personal guests of Palmer to talk with the legend and play a round of golf. The trip included PGA staff Joe Hughes, Steve Eskey, Chris Short and, as a gesture for all his charitable work on various golf events, Hastings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Arnold actually remembered the last time we met in Florida, and I was really impressed of his total recall. He is not only a living legend but one of the nicest individuals I have ever met. He truly is one of a kind and has been great to the game of golf,â&#x20AC;? he said. There are several leagues at the Penn State Golf Courses, one of which is the Burning Tee Golf League. This particular league is for male members 50 years of age or older, no matter what their skill level may be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you want to share some good times with a lot of other old duffers, this is the league for you,â&#x20AC;? explained Hastings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been in existence since 1960 and we have a membership of 112 players in 2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To explain a little about our league, we normally play every Tuesday, using both the Blue and White courses. However, for various reasons there are weeks when it is necessary for us to play on different days of the week,â&#x20AC;? he said. The league season goes from the middle of April to the beginning of October.

BEA, from page 19
sequently marched 54 yards to the Golden Eagle 22-yard line. It was from there that, on a first down play, Greene was caught for a 13-yard loss on a failed reverse. BEA could not recover from the loss, and after a sack and incomplete pass, lost the ball on downs with 43 seconds left in the game. “On that reverse,” Tobias said, “we were one block away from it being a touchdown. The one kid came through, we had a piece of him but he got off. There was nobody left down the sideline. That’s the difference between winning and losing — one block. “But I thought our kids played a fantastic game tonight. I couldn’t be more proud of these guys. They are a great group of kids. They are fun to be around, and they have great attitudes. They left their hearts on the field. I couldn’t be more proud about what happened here. Obviously, we wanted a victory, but I feel we gained a big victory for our program.”
That fight for Tyrone began on its next possession. The Golden Eagles marched 70 yards on just four plays and cut the BEA lead to 21-14 on Oliver’s 42-yard scamper. Disaster struck for BEA on its next possession. On a second-and-long from its own 16, Jones under threw Shall and Sleeth stepped in front. Sleeth took the ball just inside the 30, broke to his right, and rode a train of blockers into the end zone. The extra point failed, however, and Bald Eagle held on to a slim 21-20 lead. But not for long. After both defenses held for a series, Tyrone punter (and quarterback) Erik Wagner’s perfect punt pinned the Eagles back on their own 1-yard line. Unable to move from there, BEA gave it back to Tyrone in its own territory, and six plays and 48 yard later, Oliver scored the go-ahead touchdown. BEA was not done, however, and sub-

UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; With eight new faces on the roster for 2013-14, including seven freshmen, Penn State head coach Coquese Washington has so far had to practice patience to almost biblical proportions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My middle name is now Job,â&#x20AC;? Washington said only half kiddingly at the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball media day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call me Coach, call me Job.â&#x20AC;? Even though the Lady Lions return six letter winners from last season, led by Big Ten Player of the Year Maggie Lucas, there is little question that the new players will be asked to contribute â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sooner than later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly, it was a wonderful luxury to have a veteran team the past few years,â&#x20AC;? Washington said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The same returning starters, the same core team; that was fun. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly different because, in some ways, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting over and teaching new things to eight newcomers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been different, but I really like the energy that the freshmen are bringing. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re picking up things really quickly. They play with a lot of energy. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just been really pleased with how fast and how quickly theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve picked things up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve kept the expectations high, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been very demanding and we expect them to meet it. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re freshman, so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been some inconsistencies, but the one thing thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been consistent has been
their effort and desire to be outstanding college players. That work ethic is going to pay off at some point during the year.â&#x20AC;? Lucas returns as one of the unquestioned leaders of the team. Last season, she averaged 20 points per game, nailed 98 three-pointers, and hauled in 144 rebounds even though she was usually the smallest person on the floor. She is eighth on the all-time Penn State scoring list with 1,838 career points and second on the alltime three-point list with 292. For Lucas, with the graduation of senior players like Alex Bentley, Mia Nickson, and Nikki Greene, taking on that extra responsibility of leadership is something she takes seriously, especially with the new players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that I continually set a good example for them,â&#x20AC;? Lucas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know, get them ready, and get them better and better throughout the season. It can be stressful as a freshman, but with this group, they just handle it so well, and their energy is so positive and refreshing.â&#x20AC;? Bentley, Nickson, and Greene took 31 points of offense per game with them, but the thought of other teams trying to concentrate on taking away Lucas this season doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to concern Washington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, people have been trying to take Maggie [Lucas] since she walked through the door,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a change for us. But, it is going to be different for different people. Some of our returning
players have to carry bigger roles this year. So, we are definitely going to have to see them step up.â&#x20AC;? Those returning players include Big Ten First Team All Defense Dara Taylor, 6-foot3 forward Talia East, 6-3 forward Ariel Edwards, 6-5 forward Tori Waldner, and 6-6 sophomore center Candice Agee. And Washington was very complimentary of that group as a whole and the seniors in particular. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been really, really happy with our four returning seniors,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First of all, their leadership has just been tremendous. When you talk about integrating eight new people into a team, that takes a lot of work, takes a lot of determination, but it takes a lot of leadership, and for the seniors to get outside of themselves and making sure that the freshmen are coming along and coming along well. They have done a fantastic job in leading the freshmen so far.â&#x20AC;? Those new players are 5-foot-7 guard KiKi Sevillion, 6-3 forward Alex Harris, 6-2 forward Kaliyah Mitchell, 6-6 center Infiniti Alston, 6-3 guard Peyton Whitted, 6-1 guard Jenny DeGraff, 5-6 guard Lindsey Spann, and Duke transfer Sierra Moore. And some of those players have already caught the eye of the head coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kaliyah Mitchell has really shown some good stuff in practice,â&#x20AC;? Washington said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peyton Whitted, she is a fantastic shooter and she is doing some good things. Jenny DeGraaf has shown her ability to put

the ball in the basket. Alex Harris is really athletic in the post and gets up and down the floor well and is a very good rebounder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re freshmen, so they are inconsistent. They look great on Monday and awful on Tuesday. To tell you who is looking good depends on which day you walk into the gym.â&#x20AC;? Penn State will open Big Ten play on Jan. 5 at Iowa.
State High grad enjoys fond farewell on Jeffrey Field By JOHN PATISHNOCK sports@centrecountygazette.com
UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ten more minutes. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all David Trunzo needed to finish his last career game at Jeffrey Field where he belonged: on the lush, green sod of his hometown team, not standing on the sideline. Trunzo, a 2010 State College Area High School graduate and current senior forward/midfielder at St. Francis University (Pa.), got what he wanted after his teammates battled Penn State to a scoreless tie after the first overtime Oct. 2 at University Park. Trunzo, who suffered an injury a few weeks earlier, played sparingly in regulation and not at all in the first extra session. But he was on the field at the start of the second overtime and was one of many teammates to celebrate after the Red Flash scored on a breakway for a 1-0 win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a great feeling, growing up in State College, coming out to games here all the time since I was a little kid, wanting to wear the blue and white but I picked a different school to go to,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love my time at St. Francis and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just great to come back. Hometown, hometown fans and everything.â&#x20AC;? His first time playing at Jeffery Field as a freshman, Trunzo had his own cheering section, complete with fans who painted letters of his name across their chests.

He considered attending Penn State, but felt like something new after growing up in the area and he preferred to attend a smaller school. Trunzo was one of just two players from Pennsylvania in his recruitment class, possessing qualities a coach at any level would want. â&#x20AC;&#x153;David is a very technical and a very smart player and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what drew him to us from the start, was how technical he was, how smart he was, and how much of a hard worker he was,â&#x20AC;? St. Francis coach Michael Casper said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You put all those things together, we thought he would be a good player.â&#x20AC;? Trunzo scored his first goal this season after registering an assist in each of the previous two campaigns, which werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t free of injury. He partially tore his MCL in July 2012 and wore a brace for a month. After playing that season in pain, Trunzo found out in January of this year that he also tore his meniscus. He underwent a grueling rehab stint after learning of the additional damage. Trunzo had surgery, and then worked out at an on-campus center where he needed to regain the full range of motion in his knee. He walked and jogged on an underwater treadmill and also lifted weights to strengthen his quad and hamstring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a long couple months of recovery, a lot of pain and sweat and a little bit of tears every once in a while but I was able to get back out there,â&#x20AC;? Trunzo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to sit out on the sideline and watch the team every day practicing, knowing that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. But I just wanted it so bad, that I made it happen this summer.â&#x20AC;? Trunzo has stockpiled plenty of experience since graduating from State College, playing with the Harrisburg City Islanders professional team as well as on their 23U academy squad this summer. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also competed for Century United of Pittsburgh, which claimed the PA-West Division two years ago. But with his collegiate career winding down and just

Now it is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just been my dream to get a win on this field,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and tonight we were able to accomplish that.â&#x20AC;?

‘Guys and Dolls’ a smashing success By HARRY ZIMBLER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — The production of “Guys and Dolls,” playing at the Playhouse Theatre on campus through Wednesday, Nov. 20, is a resounding success. Once again, the Penn State School of Theatre’s Musical Theatre program is demonstrating the excellence that has become its calling card the past few years. Broadway casting directors have taken notice. “Guys and Dolls” is the result of a collaboration that includes a first class team of directors, choreographers, designers and performers. At the helm of this classic musical production is graduate student Meghan C. Hakes. Hakes directed the show as part of the requirements for a Master of Fine Arts degree. “‘Guys and Dolls’ was my first choice,” Hakes said. “It is a classic, Golden Age piece of musical theatre. Working with this cast has been an incredible musical theater experience. This is an extraordinary, talented, cast.” Hakes noted that “Guys and Dolls” is a tremendous undertaking at any level. “It’s one of the biggest productions you can do. It has a big cast with a big setting,” he said. When she graduates, Hakes plans to pursue a professional directing career. She said that Penn State provided a supportive environment in which to hone her craft. As for the production of “Guys and Dolls,” Hakes believes audiences will be drawn to the show. “I hope the two relationship stories will touch the hearts of the audience. It’s an evening full of entertainment for everyone.”
Kevin Toniazzo-Naughton appears as lead character Sky Masterson. “It is an honor, as well, to be playing such an iconic character. Getting the opportunity to feast on such wonderful wordplay, and beautiful music,” he said. “The role comes with its challenges definitely. To start, this is my first time ever playing a romantic character, and such a confident one at that. With such a stylistic and specific piece like ‘Guys and Dolls,’ it requires a lot of focus and preparation to keep Sky organic and real, while keeping the specifically stylized nature of the show in mind. This is Penn State Centre Stage’s ‘Guys and Dolls.’ Our goal is to make this production pop. We want to suck you into this colorful New York City.” Stephanie Cowan plays Sky’s love interest, Sarah Brown. “The most rewarding part of ‘Guys and Dolls’ has been being able to work with my classmates. I am a senior musical theatre major and being able to watch my classmates excel and grow throughout the process has been a wonderful experience,” said Cowan. She continued: “My greatest challenge has been a specific scene in the show between Sky and Sarah. Junior year we are taught by Susan H. Schulman, the Broadway director, that ‘there is no such thing as a sweet little ingénue.’ During one of Sarah’s songs it is easy to fall into the trap of sweet little ingénue because the music is so grand and floating. The challenge is to find dynamics and really connect to the lyrics.” Scenic designer Brie Vicek found the process exciting. “We’ve taken a step away from the 1950s traditional production scenically as

CAST MEMBERS, left to right, Kevin Clay, Rachel Fairbanks, Stephanie Cowan and Kevin Toniazzo-Naughton rehearsed for the Penn State Centre Stage production of “Guys and Dolls.” the show has taken on a story of its own as we move scene to scene without hiding the changes,” said Vick. “This speeds up the show and creates a page turning feel to the story. However I believe that what’s special to this particular production of the show is in the direction that you watch the stories of all our individual characters weave throughout this fable. I have enjoyed being part of the creation of this story and watching these ideas come to life.”
Providing the musical direction was Timothy Hanson. “‘Guys & Dolls’ is a deceptively simple show. It’s heightened style and broadness belie a nuance and subtlety that are really part of a bygone era,” said Hanson. “For example: the music may sound romantic and sweet in a song where characters are having a knock-down, drag-out battle of wills. Unlocking any show’s unique vocabulary is always a great challenge.”

IN THE NOVEMBER show at Schlow Centre Region Library, John Hovenstine’s black and white photos from the Grange Fair will be on display.
Schlow to display Hovenstine’s photography From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — John Hovenstine’s versatility is reflected throughout all his photography. From irresistible images of delicious meals to the grave beauty of a football player in a quiet moment, his work is characterized by nuanced observation and elegant authenticity. Throughout his career as the creative director of an awardwinning catalog and in his nationally recognized freelance art and photography, Hovenstine has shared his talent, passion and thoughtful exploration of a broad range of subjects. In his current show at Schlow Center Region Library’s Betsy Rodgers Allen Gallery, Hovenstine shares his stirring black and white photographs of the Grange Fair experience, along with several searching portraits from a recent series document-
ing Civil War re-enactors. The show runs through Saturday, Nov. 30. Hovenstine’s involvement in art and photography started in his early years. “I have drawn and painted since I was a little kid. One of my earliest memories of drawing something and thinking it wasn’t bad was when I was around 7 or 8,” he said. He has particularly fond memories of photography, especially working alongside his father in the darkroom. “Along with drawing and painting I have always loved photography. My dad was a photographer and we rigged up a small darkroom in the basement where we would make prints. I really miss the smell of the developer in that dark, unventilated basement and the forgotten hours that followed,” Hovenstine said. The exhibition is free and open to the public.
LEMONT — Many casual observers feel they lack the background or knowledge to appreciate abstract art. One stop at the Art Alliance on Pike Street in Lemont this week will dispel that notion. The Abstraction Show opened last week and will run through Sunday, giving visitors the opportunity to enjoy a brilliant array of oils, acrylics, watercolors, sculpture, photography and fabric art. It even includes a seldom-seen, but intriguing medium called “encaustic,” which artist Sue Lacey describes as “a method using hot beeswax, resin and pigments.” Her piece “In the Land of Pink and Grey” features soft colors, solidified by the angles she uses. Much of the work in this show features soft colors, gentle curved lines and smooth texture while contemplative in mood. Other pieces feature a bold, vibrant pallet with lots of oranges, blacks and fiery shades. C.S. Fong’s “Pisces” features black rippling lines, punctuated by darting figures of orange koi. Although a photograph, the effect he creates seems more evocative of an etching. He gets this effect, he says, using an older, second-hand camera. “I wanted to experiment with the piece of machinery,” he said. “It’s not the machine, but what goes on six inches behind the machine.” Co-chair of the show, Wendy Snetsinger, describes the show as “dazzling.” “I’m just so thrilled with the quality and variety,” she said. “All these images evoke

“DREAM,” by Mary Shay McGuire is one of several abstract pieces of art on display at the Art Alliance in Lemont. happy feelings.” With more than 30 pieces, all by accomplished local artists, the Abstraction Show features art for everyone to enjoy and connect with. Every piece had to go through a selection process, judged by Jean Forsberg, local artist and retired Penn State instructor. Forsberg considers abstract “a leap into the unknown.” She likes the limitless possibilities of the form and. “It’s exciting to look at something four years from now and see something you never saw before,” she said. Whether a person has a background in art or not, this show, which is free to the public, has plenty of colors, shapes, moods, textures and compositions. The variety alone provides long moments of fascination.
Women’s Chorale to perform concert UNIVERSITY PARK — The Women’s Chorale of Penn State will present its annual fall concert, featuring compositions by Mozart, Kodály and Brahms, at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 17, in Esber Recital Hall. The choir is conducted by Jayne Glocke and accompanied by Svetlana Rodionova. Cantate, a chamber choir of Women’s Chorale members, will also perform. Cantate is conducted by Penn State senior Andrew Roberts. Tickets are available at the door approximately 30 minutes prior to the show.
This concert is also available through live streaming video at the Penn State School of Music. The 75-voice Women’s Chorale is composed of women representing nearly every major at University Park. The chorale performs choral literature from the medieval to modern eras. Enrollment is by audition with the conductor. Cantate is a small ensemble selected out of the Women’s Chorale membership. The group consists of 16 to 25 singers and focuses on chamber literature.

Chamber of Commerce holds annual luncheon From Gazette staff reports BELLEFONTE — The annual luncheon and membership meeting of the Bellefonte Intervalley Chamber of Commerce recently was held at the American Philatelic Society in Bellefonte. Gary V. Hoover, executive director, welcomed the attending members and guests. He then introduced Pastor Will Osman of St. John Lutheran Church who gave the invocation, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. After lunch was served, Charles Kormanski, of Mattress World, was introduced as the newly-elected president of the chamber. In his remarks, Kormanski thanked retiring president Nicholas Lingenfelter, of the First National Bank, for his leadership and congratulated him on a successful term. Kormanski spoke about the Chamber’s accomplishments under Lingenfelter’s presidency and mentioned in particular the redesign of the chamber’s web site into a state-of-the-art asset. Kormanski thanked the chamber staff for hard work and dedication and the members for their support. Chamber board of directors present at the luncheon were introduced and recognized. Dr. S. Candace Covey was made a life member of the chamber and presented with a plaque by Kormanski, who spoke of her long years of service as a board member. Executive Director Hoover then introduced Sally R. Houser and presented her with the chamber’s community
service award. In making the presentation, Hoover noted Houser’s work as the vice president of Historic Bellefonte Inc. and chair of Bellefonte Victorian Christmas Inc. He also spoke of her numerous contributions of time and skill to many community organizations and activities. Tamara Schuster, chamber treasurer, presented a financial report. The chamber’s annual report was then presented by the executive director. Hoover noted that the chamber’s membership grew over the past year but that dues had not been increased for five years. He spoke of the diversity of the chamber’s membership, which ranges from representatives of the largest local corporations to small businesses, non-profits and individuals. Hoover mentioned the chamber’s increased spending for activities promoting its membership and the Bellefonte Intervalley Area. He highlighted some of the chamber’s major new activities over the previous year, thanking the members for supporting the chamber through dues and by volunteering. President Kormanski finished the evening by presenting the outgoing president with a plaque commemorating his term of office. In closing remarks, Lingenfelter said he enjoyed his stint as chamber president and stated his belief in the value of the organization’s contributions to the community. He said the values handed down to him by family always emphasized giving back to the community and he felt his time as president accomplished that goal.

Program aids students UNIVERSITY PARK — First-year MBA students spent four intensive days last month enhancing their career search and planning skills as part of their Career Immersion, a staple of the Penn State Smeal MBA Program experience. This year’s Career Immersion agenda included handson workshops giving students the opportunity to perfect their cover letters, practice answering interview questions and learn how to employ Twitter in their networking and job searches. “This year, the two-week orientation program back in August served as a quick start for students to gain tools for resume creation, networking, and interviewing,” said Michael Brown, director of MBA Career Services.
