Commissioners pass preliminary budget By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — The Centre County board of commissioners passed a 2015 tentative county budget at its meeting on Nov. 18. Next year’s current budget comes in at about $80.9 million. This is the fifth consecutive year that the county has not had to increase property taxes. The budget is also balanced, meaning revenues and expenditures are equal. The county is able to keep a balanced budget, in spite of growing costs in areas like health insurance and correctional facilities, because department heads have been able to watch spending and seek grants, according to Denise Elbell, director of financial management. In next year’s budget, $7.5 million will be put into capital reserve and can be spent as needed to improve county buildings and infrastructure. Some of this

money will be used to fund the second phase of the Temple Court project, which will include interior renovations to Temple Court and the Courthouse Annex and begin early next year. That project is currently out to bid. “I think it’s good for us to keep maintaining a capital reserve moving forward to make sure our county facilities are kept up to date and don’t fall behind,” said Commissioner Chris Exarchos. Another project the county is looking to undertake is renovating the Courthouse, he said. The goal, Elbell and Commissioner Steve Dershem said, is to have money in the capital reserve to carry over to 2016 and support future projects. The total budget will increase about $8 million from 2014. Due to economic downturn, the county hasn’t seen a growth of more than 1 percent in real estate tax since 2009, its main source of revenue.

STATE COLLEGE — To celebrate area recycling efforts, the Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority recognized and awarded 60 county businesses, schools and organizations at the 2014 Centre County Green Business Partner Awards luncheon on Nov. 13. About 100 people attended the first-ever event, which took place in conjunction with America Recycles Day. Foxdale Village Retirement Community, Restek Corporation and Park Forest Elementary School each received Emerald Awards for their recycling efforts, and the 57 other businesses, schools and organizations represented received plaques. “We wanted to recognize some folks that have been at the forefront for these many years of environmental sustainability and

recycling here in Centre County,” said Joanne Shafer, recycling coordinator at CCRRA. At the luncheon, State College Mayor Elizabeth Goreham

spoke about the importance of recycling and what the borough has been doing to encourage the practice. Representatives from the Emerald Award-winning organizations also spoke to the audience about how they have successfully implemented “green” practices. Recycling, Page 5

Police: Daughter taken from man after incident By StateCollege.com STATE COLLEGE — A man’s 4-year-old daughter was taken into protective custody after police say he was too intoxicated to stand without help at a State College restaurant. Michael Markley, 33, faces two summary charges of disorderly conduct and public drunkenness and one misdemeanor charge of endangering the welfare of children after an incident at Home Delivery Pizzeria on Nov. 14. According to a criminal complaint, restaurant management called authorities after finding Markley passed out and unresponsive at one of the tables. His 4-year-old daughter was with him, and was being watched by another man at the table, according to court papers. Investigators say that man was also intoxicated and unable to properly care for the child. EMS staff were able to wake Markley after two attempts.

Upon waking, Markley was uncooperative and condescending toward EMS staff, according to the criminal complaint. Even after being cautioned by a police officer to be respectful, he reportedly refused to give a local address or tell EMS staff if he had used any drugs. Police said Markley also asked a male paramedic to sit on his lap before standing up and challenged officers at the scene. Police reportedly had to forcibly take Markley into custody, transporting him to Mount Nittany Medical Center for treatment for possible alcohol or drug overdose. Investigators say Markley has an outstanding warrant from Georgia. Magisterial District Judge Kelly Gillette-Walker was unable to provide details about the Georgia warrant. Markley’s daughter was taken into protective custody by Centre County Children and Youth Service. Markley remains in custody. He is being held on $100,000 bail.

Penn State fans encouraged to attend ‘Blue Out’ By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — A Penn State student group will continue the tradition of the Blue Out game when the Nittany Lions host the Michigan State Spartans on Saturday, Nov. 27, at Beaver Stadium. The event, which has taken place annually since 2011, is organized by One Heart: Penn State Students Against the Sexual Abuse of Children and continues to be a leading way to raise awareness and funds to prevent child abuse. Attendees are encouraged to wear blue, the official color of the cause. The first annual Blue Out game took place days after former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky was charged with sexually abusing a number of young boys over a 15-year period. While the situation was devastating to the Penn State community, graduate students Laura March and Stuart Shapiro wanted to organize an event to bring everyone together and work toward preventing child abuse.

“They saw a need,” said Danielle Roethlein, the public relations director for One Heart. “At that time, many people in our community were unaware that this was happening.” The 2011 Blue Out game raised about $40,000. Since, more than $150,000 has been donated to Prevent Child Abuse Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape. This year, PCAPA is the sole beneficiary. “We’re really excited about this partnership (with Penn State),” said Dr. Maria McColgan, the medical director for PCAPA and a pediatrician at St. Christopher’s Hospital in Philadelphia. Much of PCAPA’s focus, she said, is on preventing child abuse. Educating parents and caregivers about what it means to be a good provider for a child is one of the most important things, McColgan said. Knowing how to recognize if a child is being abused or if someone is targeting a child for abuse are also main concerns. “We want to empower parents to be

cognizant of these things,” she said. “The fact that Penn State supports this is huge. To have their support is a big step in the right direction.” One Heart, like the Blue Out, was also founded in 2011. The following year, the organization took over the event, which Roethlein said “seemed fitting.” Penn State’s large student body and surrounding community are poised to make a difference, she said, by bringing attention to child abuse through attending the Blue Out game and donating to the cause. T-shirts, sweatshirts, winter hats and handmade hair bows will be sold at The Family Clothesline downtown, the Penn State Bookstore on campus and the bookstores of the Penn State branch campuses. Donation boxes will also be put in some downtown locations, and Roethlein said that donations can be accepted online at

the Blue Out game website. During the game, there will be a halftime recognition when the One Heart executive board will be introduced. “The Penn State athletics department has been a huge help in planning this event,” she said. “From making time for us during halftime to allowing us to collect money at Beaver Stadium before and during the beginning of the game, they have certainly been a large part in the effort to make the Blue Out a success and raise awareness of child abuse prevention.” While the Blue Out game is One Heart’s biggest annual event, Roethlein said the organization tries to bring attention to preventing child abuse throughout the year with speakers and training sessions.

The Diner’s Thanksgiving dinners to beneﬁt local charity By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — If you’re looking for a great Thanksgiving dinner and want to support a good cause in the process, look no further than The Diner, located at 126 W. College Ave. in State College. On Thanksgiving Day, beginning at noon, the restaurant will begin serving a traditional holiday dinner complete with turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce and corn. The cost? A mere 50 cents. The event is open to the public and all proceeds will benefit local charities. According to Dan Rallis, owner of The Diner, the event has been a State College tradition for more than 75 years. “I’ve been at The Diner going on 30 years and it was a tradition way before I got there,” Rallis explained. “It used to be just a 50-cent dinner, but we really put a charitable spin on it. We picked some local organizations. That’s what we do now. At the end of the day, it’s really not about serving dinners. It’s about helping somebody.” Thanksgiving dinner at The Diner — then known as Ye Olde College Diner — began in 1938.

IF YOU GO What: Thanksgiving Dinner Where: The Diner, 126 W. College Ave., State College When: Thursday, Nov. 27 Cost: Complete Thanksgiving dinner is just 50 cents Why: To benefit Tides and Brian Judy Family More info: www.bestwickfoundation.org

This year, the Bestwick Foundation will be the beneficiary of the dinner’s proceeds. The funds raised will be divided between Tides, a program that helps grieving children, and the Brian Judy family. Judy, of Centre Hall, was recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer. He is a United Methodist minister who serves as pastor of three churches in Martha Furnace, Julian and Gray’s Woods. “Brian can’t work now. He’s going through chemo and radiation, but he’s still a very positive guy,” said Steve Greer of the Bestwick Foundation. “We’re going to raise some money for him. It’s a 50-cent dinner, but all the donations and tips will help. We’ll even have people out canning, so if you can’t make it to the dinner, just drive by The Diner to donate.” Greer said that a recent benefit concert for Judy and his family raised nearly $20,000. The Thanksgiving dinner event typically raises between $5,000 and $6,000. Greer is hopeful that the community will come out and support the event. “It really is a community event,” Greer said. “It’s great opportunity for people to contribute and help a local family. The family really needs it. We really want to turn it up a notch.” As usual, Rallis is expecting a big crowd at The Diner for the event. “It’s like anything you do, you get efficient,” Rallis said. “I spend one day doing all the stuffing. I’ll probably do the stuffing Tuesday (Nov. 25) of next week.” To put things in perspective, Rallis said that The Diner will go through 250 to 300 pounds of stuffing alone. They’ll go through even more potatoes. “Probably 300 to 350 pounds of mashed potatoes,” Rallis said matter-of-factly.

DANA ROTHSTEIN/For the Gazette

THE DINER, located at 126 W. College Ave., will once again serve Thanksgiving dinner for a mere 50 cents.

Dessert is not included in the cost of the meal, but an assortment of pies will be available. “We really want people to come and enjoy it,” Rallis said. Rallis said that The Diner will have its full menu available from 7 a.m. until noon. However, once the clock strikes 12, only the Thanksgiving meal will be available. It will be served until 6 p.m. “It’s all volunteers … they put the plates together and serve it. They give their time,” Rallis said. “We’ll give our staff off, minus a couple of people who oversee it. Everyone does shifts. We always have more than we need. It’s really neat.” In the end, Rallis, Greer and countless volunteers will come together, serve a great meal and help people during the process. “Ultimately, our goal is to help these people,” Rallis said. “It’s one way we try to help others. It’s great.”

Judge nears decision on jurisdiction of Spanier vs. Freeh lawsuit By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — The battle over where Graham Spanier’s defamation lawsuit against Louis Freeh will be heard is nearly over.

On Friday, attorneys for the former Penn State president and the former FBI director debated whether the case should be heard in federal or state court in front of federal judge Malachy Mannion. Spanier announced his intention to sue Freeh for alleged defamation in Centre County Court last year. SpanIN OUR NEW LOCATION AT

ier argues the Freeh Report — which was released in 2012 and concludes that top Penn State officials covered up the Sandusky scandal — makes false claims that have damaged his reputation. Freeh, in response, has been trying to move the case to federal court, arguing the Centre County Court doesn’t have proper jurisdiction because he is not a citizen of Pennsylvania. Michael Kichline, an attorney for Freeh, says Freeh had a one-year deadline to file for the move to federal court. Lawsuit, Page 6

Borough Council grapples with proposed budget, tax increase By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — State College Borough council members rolled up their sleeves at their Nov. 17 meeting and began hashing out the proposed 2015 budget. Assistant borough manager Roger Dunlap outlined how some major financial trends have shaped the challenges facing the borough. Overall, revenues have remained flat with moderate growth but little dramatic change. The total assessed value of property in the borough has remained roughly the same over the past 10 years, hovering around $443 million, which means the tax base has stayed the roughly same too. Even with projects like the Fraser Centre expected to add new value to the borough, “these numbers don’t really keep pace with inflation,” Dunlap said. This creates “a revenue challenge,” because property tax — along with earned income tax — is one of the borough’s major sources of income. Dunlap showed that the borough had nearly $21 million in general fund revenue in 2013. Though this is an increase over previous years, the increase is fairly small when adjusted for inflation, Dunlap said. In order to offset the consistently slow growth of the tax base, the 2015 budget proposes a property tax increase of 3.36 mills. That works out to $191 per year for a home with an assessed value of $200,000. Dunlap said that would amount to an almost 16 percent increase in the borough’s tax revenue for 2015, which would help the borough begin to whittle down a multi-year deficit. State College Borough manager Tom Fountaine said this is the first tax increase in five years. Council member Evan Myers said he understood the reasoning behind the proposed increase, but he worries how this will impact the affordability of living in State College.

“We need to understand the changes in our budget from year to year, and I’m concerned about how to manage that as we move forward,” he said. “We really need to be careful that we don’t price State College into becoming a different kind of community than it is now.” Council member Theresa Lafer said State College “might be too limited” in its sources of revenues, and should look into alternative income sources. Dunlap said the borough’s credit rating has seen a minor decrease from “AA” to “AA-.” Fountaine says that decrease is mostly due to the fairly low per capita income rate in the borough, and stressed this is a minor change they can have reassessed if the borough needs to borrow money in the future. Dunlap said that five approved capital improvements projects were ultimately not funded in the 2015 budget due to financial limitations. These include parking meter upgrades and Internet infrastructure improvements, which have all been delayed. The proposed budget includes funding for 21 other projects, which range from parking garage maintenance to sewer line replacements. The cost of those improvements will be slightly more than $5.2 million. Daubert expressed concerns about the $350,000 cost for maintenance of the Pugh Street garage, which was not present in the borough’s capital improvement plan. Fountaine said this project may ultimately cost less than this estimate, but he noted it was “prudent to include some money in the budget” for this project. Borough council also discussed the Centre Region Council of Government proposed 2015 budget. Council president James Rosenberg called it “a restrained budget that meets the needs of the region,” though he also expressed concerns about how it might impact the cost of housing. Council, Page 6

Recycling, from page 1 “Recycling is the magic … that changes the way we see the world around us,” Goreham said to luncheon attendees, emphasizing the importance of teaching children about recycling and helping the environment. “The younger we get it, the deeper our commitment and greater our impact,” she said. “Once you realize that small aluminum can has further use and that you’re a good person for tossing it in the recycling bin, you are hooked.” That was the idea at Park Forest Middle School, whose recycling program has received statewide recognition and awards. In order to encourage participation, Principal Donann Stoicovy said recycling bins were made more prominent in classrooms and throughout the school and the size of trashcans were reduced. “We began to replace things around the building,” she said. Park Forest has also worked with TerraCycle, a company based out of New Jersey that collects and recycles products into reusable items. The school previously donated money received back from TerraCycle. However, this year, Stoicovy said they invested in a water bottle-filling station. Since the beginning of April, more than 22,000 water bottles have been saved from going into a landfill, she said. “The message is that our young people are learning this,” Stoicovy said. “I’ve had a lot of parents tell me that (the kids) make them do this at home. It’s carrying over.” Park Forest also started composting food waste and paper towels and is working toward becoming a zero-waste school. In order to reduce waste at Restek, Green Team leader Cindy Ross said offices and cubicles haven’t seen garbage cans since the late 1980s. “It made (employees) realize what they did not need to throw away and could put into recycling,” she said. The company started recycling cans and paper, but has since grown to recycling newspaper, plastic, glass, cardboard, Styrofoam, electronics and appliances. “People are encouraged to bring recycling in from home,” Ross said. Like Park Forest, Restek has also ex-

Page 5 plored composting, and about 30 employees have asked for bins. The packaging Restek uses for its products is also recyclable, she said. In order to educate residents about recycling, Foxdale Village Green Team leader Julia Hix said industry leaders from Penn State, State College Borough and CCRRA talk about practices. “Our environmental speakers program brings noted speakers from Penn State and the community in to help us think globally while we are acting locally,” she said. “But we can still do more.” Foxdale’s recycling efforts go back to the early 1990s when resident Dean Tuttle began exploring the possibilities. Hix said Tuttle, who is now 104, continues to recycle. “Most of the folks in our generation still have the desire to conserve and be environmentally responsible,” Hix said. “Our challenge has been to continue to make it convenient and easy for folks to recycle and reuse. As the community ages, we have found ways to make it easier for folks to recycle.” Foxdale’s food services department is able to recycle almost all of its waste and provides residents with reusable takeout containers. To further their efforts, Hix said residents have also been given the option of composting. “I understand we will be the first multiple-dwelling community to do this,” she said. “It will be a challenge, but step by step, we will get everyone at Foxdale who wants to compost their kitchen waste the opportunity to do that.” To continue expanding recycling and reuse options for borough residents, State College recently started an organics recycling program, which Goreham said has been successful. “Organics collection plus grass clippings and yard waste increased by nearly 300 tons in 2013 while waste taken to the transfer station for ultimate landfill dropped by nearly 400 tons. At $76 a ton for landfill, that adds up to real money,” she said. “Our collective challenge now is to take our recycling beyond the familiar red recycling bin. And the 60 winners of today’s recycling award have done just that.”

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

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

assistant administrator for the Drug and Alcohol Department. The Pennsylvania Youth Survey, which is used to collect data from middle school and high school students in the county school districts about substance use, is funded through the project, Arbogast said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This data not only looks at patterns of substance use by our young people, but also looks at conditions within the community that puts kids at risk and those conditions within a community that protect kids,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually able to track trends and look at how things have changed over the course of that time period.â&#x20AC;? Based on data collected, Arbogast said, usage of tobacco and alcohol among youth is decreasing. There is an increase, however, in marijuana use and questions students have about the drug. Data also suggests that kids are beginning to experiment and use at older ages, have a lower perception of the risk of substance abuse, and arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting a clear picture about drug usage from the adults in their lives, she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our campaigns are focusing more on educating parents and adults in the community to have those conversations,â&#x20AC;? Arbogast said. According to Arbogast, the county is in the 10th and final year of eligibility for these grants and will be seeking other grants to continue funding these projects and initiatives.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not experiencing the type of growth that we normally have,â&#x20AC;? Elbell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not seeing a lot of development. Hopefully that will change in the future.â&#x20AC;? This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assessment evaluation was 1.23 percent in which the county will bring in about $26.3 million. The extraction fee that Gov.-elect Tom Wolf has promised to impose on oil drilling companies throughout the state will not affect the money Centre County currently collects through Act 13, said Commissioner Michael Pipe. The county expects to collect about $400,000 through the impact fee in 2015. Since oil drilling in the county has decreased significantly in recent years, the commissioners said they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect that to be a source of revenue in the future. Final adoption of the 2015 county budget is scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 16. The commissioners also approved the renewal of two contracts for the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Drug and Alcohol Department. The contracts are between the county and Bellefonte Area School District and the county and State College Borough to promote both organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Communities That Care program. The contracts will also support the activities of the Centre County Prevention Coalition. Each contract is federally funded and worth $49,936. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Communities That Care project supports a number of initiatives throughout the county,â&#x20AC;? said Catherine Arbogast, Lawsuit, from page 4

about when the deadline to remove a case begins. Freehâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attempts to move the lawsuit to federal court were a safety measure to ensure he was not later denied his right to do so, Kichline said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We removed this case to federal court on diversity jurisdiction grounds,â&#x20AC;? Kichline said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole purpose behind diversity jurisdiction is to ensure that those who are citizens of other states are not subject to prejudice in local state courts.â&#x20AC;? Kichline says attorneys for Spanier also argued that the case should be heard in state court because Freehâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s law firm â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Freeh, Sporkin and Sullivan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has partners based in Pennsylvania. Kichline says the partner at the law firm who was a Pennsylvania resident is no longer employed, making this a moot point. Attorneys for both sides expressed confidence in their cases, and say they are not sure when Judge Mannion will issue a ruling on where the case should be heard.

The deadline expired in July of this year, the same month Freeh filed to move the lawsuit. Elizabeth Locke, an attorney for Spanier, argues this move was improper because Spanier has not actually filed his lawsuit yet. Spanier faces criminal charges in Dauphin County Court related to the alleged cover up of the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal. Because he has a Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself, Spanier has not yet filed the complaint that will detail his claims against Freeh. Locke says that once that complaint is filed, Freeh will have 30 days to move the case to federal court. Since Spanier has only filed a â&#x20AC;&#x153;writ of summonsâ&#x20AC;? and not a complaint, Locke says Freehâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attempts to move the lawsuit out of Centre County are improper. Kichline disagrees, and says there are conflicting rulings from different courts

Primanti, from page 1 the building is expected to be ready sometime in December, Mitcham said that it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be up and running until 2015. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a firm date in January, but it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be until the students come back,â&#x20AC;? Mitcham said. Although Mitcham didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to reveal much about the dĂŠcor inside the restaurant, he said that those who have been to one of the Pittsburgh-area Primanti Bros. locations will recognize the design of the restaurant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our new model moving forward is kind of like a mix between our city locations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; your Strip District, your Market Square, your Oakland â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and our suburban concepts, which are like the Cranberry, Grove City, Monroeville types of locations. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mix between the two of those,â&#x20AC;? Mitcham said. Mitcham added that the State College location will have its own unique dĂŠcor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The things we have up our sleeve,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;are going to be pretty cool. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really excited about it.â&#x20AC;? On Nov. 12, Primanti Bros. opened a new location in Wheeling, W. Va. Mitcham said that the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth over the past couple of years has been both amazing and unprecedented. Mitcham has been with Primanti Bros. for 15 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started working at Primanti Bros. when I was in college. I got in at the time when all of the television food shows started. The popularity of the Food Network and the Travel Channel shows really took off. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d see guys like Adam Richman, Andrew Zimmerman, Anthony Bourdain coming in and you realize the thing has taken on a life of itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own,â&#x20AC;? Mitcham said. Primanti Bros. specializes in sandwiches loaded with french fries and coleslaw. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really much more than that, Mitcham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truly a work of art,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really proud of.â&#x20AC;? Council, from page 5 The proposed COG budget would raise the cost of a rental-housing permit. Rosenberg was quick to point out â&#x20AC;&#x153;any costs we pass onto our rental housing units are ultimately passed on to our tenants.â&#x20AC;?

The State College location will be run by Greg DuBois, who recently left Damonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grill to join Primanti Bros. DuBois pointed out that the Primanti Bros. locations do not have general managers, per se. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re called head coaches,â&#x20AC;? he said. For the past few months, DuBois has been visiting different Primanti Bros. locations in preparation for the grand opening of the State College site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The company is moving so fast on so many different fronts itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a whirlwind. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being really aggressive right now. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so excited because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing like this in the market right now. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not your typical chain restaurant,â&#x20AC;? he said. According to DuBois, the unique offerings at Primanti Bros. set it apart from other restaurants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has something that no one else has,â&#x20AC;? DuBois said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has history, it has culture.â&#x20AC;? Throughout his travels, DuBois has learned that the uniqueness goes beyond the food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been to three or four locations and each one is unique. They customize each location to the market that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a cookie-cutter concept. The food is fantastic, of course, but everything â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the environment, the culture â&#x20AC;&#x201D; everything is adapted to the location,â&#x20AC;? DuBois said. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been to the Primanti Bros. in Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Strip District, you will have seen a mural on the wall with famous Pittsburghers. In State College, expect to see sports stars and celebrities from across the Keystone state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;State College will have itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own environment,â&#x20AC;? DuBois explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re branching out from Pittsburgh and embracing everybody.â&#x20AC;? To say that DuBois is excited would be an understatement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be the place to go to watch the game, have a great sandwich and have a cold beer,â&#x20AC;? DuBois said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be awesome.â&#x20AC;? According to DuBois, Primanti Bros. is now hiring. For more information, visit www.primantibros.com. Centre region. The CBICC has been working to make State College a destination for business, including both new and more well-established companies.

U.N. correct to keep pressure on N. Korea By The Los Angeles Times (TNS)

When a United Nations report on human rights in North Korea was released early this year — including hundreds of interviews with victims of and witnesses to killings, torture, starvation, enslavement and sexual violence — the panel that produced it urged the international community to take quick and forceful action. Among those interviewed was Shin Dong-hyuk, the only person known to have been born in a North Korean prison camp and to have escaped, which he did eight years ago. For years, human rights groups and defectors had told stories of unimaginable conditions in those prisons: inmates forced into hard labor, starved so badly that they would catch snakes and mice to eat, tortured, sometimes for no reason at all. But the report put the imprimatur of the United Nations on the subject. If North Korea — which refused to cooperate with the panel or let its members into the country — won’t accept its responsibility to protect its people, then the rest of the world must do so, the commissioners wrote. On Tuesday, the U.N. General Assembly voted on a resolution citing the report and calling on the government to end the atrocities that have made North Korea “a state that does not have any parallel in the contemporary world.” Of course, condemnation alone won’t make the notoriously hermetic government end its abuses or dismantle a network of prison camps housing an estimated 80,000 to 120,000 people. But the more global support for the resolution, the less North Korea can dismiss the criticism as the work of its enemies. (At the moment, North Korea denies that the camps even exist.) The resolution also calls for action by the Security Council, including, possibly, a referral to the International Criminal Court. Why should we expect Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un’s response to be anything more than “you and what army”? Because the resolution keeps up the drumbeat — and puts pressure on China, North Korea’s main defender on the world stage, to reconsider its unsavory alliance.

lebrity. The state senator who isn’t backing down in the face of pressure to conform. Moral courage is the university president who, with distance and perspective from a conflict for which he was not involved, is stepping forward to say, “We need to review the decisions made by those who came before me.” We learned last week that Penn State President Eric Barron will review the Freeh report in light of concerns that continue to be raised by Penn State alumni and which seem to be underscored by what we are coming to learn was behind-the-scenes collusion by Mr. Freeh, the NCAA and the Big Ten. Knowing that many will question, debate and dismiss his review, Dr. Barron’s decision is an example of moral courage. How do we develop courage? Can we teach it to our children? Is it nature or is it nurture? The concept of courage has been studied and discussed by scientists and philosophers alike. Why are some more courageous than others? What makes a person courageous? Courage is not the absence of fear or recklessly ignoring risk. Courage is understanding and acting despite our fears and the risk involved in the situation. Courage is doing the right thing regardless of what others may say or do in response. Courage is confidence. Prior success in mastering difficulties. Empathy. Understanding cause and effect. A strong sense of right and wrong. As facts and understanding about the university’s response to the Sandusky crimes continue to come to light, I suspect we will learn more about those who were courageous as well as those who were not. Our lessons in courage will hopefully help us make better decisions as we move forward. Courage, to quote Hollywood legend John Wayne, is being scared to death but saddling up anyway.

Government alone can’t ﬁx the family By The Orange County Register (TNS)

The studies are in, and the American family is collapsing. It’s a problem, but neither government bureaucrats nor beleaguered individuals can solve it on their own. Philanthropic elites need to rise to the occasion. For some, it’s more accurate to say the family is simply changing shape, but the economic consequences of that shape-shifting are enough to invite a more judgmental attitude. As Alex J. Pollock recounts at the American Enterprise Institute, “The percent of married-couple households has fallen from more than 60 percent in 1980 to less than 50 percent in 2010. “One-person households have risen from 23 percent to 27 percent of households in this period.” Illegitimacy and single motherhood, in particular, are on the rise. Multigenerational prison recidivism climbs apace. Vicious cycles of family

failure adversely impact not just education but jobs and future earnings. Conservative reformists advance a series of policy proposals that don’t double down on the kinds of federal programs associated with increased personal dependency. Think tanks and experts have recommended everything from increased child tax credits to over-the-counter birth control to out-and-out wage subsidies. Few conservative policymakers, however, are willing to simply throw up their hands or trust market forces to resurrect durable, stable family bonds. Adding to the difficulty, many Americans adversely affected by family collapse are increasingly suspicious of the kind of old-style “charity” work that might have made a substantial impact in the past. Churches today just don’t possess the same level of social capital, or the density of social networks, that allowed them to function as focal points for privatesector safety nets of yore.

Where to turn? Remarkably, there’s one kind of charitable activity that a broad majority of Americans — disadvantaged or not — can support. Especially over the past 10 years, super-elite, well-endowed philanthropic organizations have amassed a powerful degree of influence. They can quickly and effectively command attention, mobilize funding and execute on big plans. Bill Gates’ role in spearheading the Common Core educational agenda is just one recent example. Imagine if, alongside disease prevention or classroom technology, today’s elite philanthropists made a concerted effort to support and bolster basic family structures and services. To be sure, such an effort would attract some conflict and controversy. But it could make a potent difference in a critical part of American cultural life — while avoiding the worst pitfalls of government action on the one hand and inaction on the other.

The Top Performer program recognizes hospitals for improving performance on evidence-based interventions that increase the chances of healthy outcomes for patients with certain conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Penn State Hershey employees have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to quality improvement, and we should be proud that we have earned this distinction as a Top Performer in the areas of heart attacks, heart failure, pneumonia and surgical care,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. A. Craig Hillemeier, chief executive officer of Penn State Hershey Medical Center and Health System, Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior vice president for health affairs, and dean, Penn State College of Medicine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Providing our patients with the high quality care they expect and deserve is the very foundation for creating an extraordinary patient experience.â&#x20AC;? To be a Top Performer, hospitals had to meet three performance criteria based on 2013 accountability measure data, including achieving cumulative performance of 95 percent or above across all reported accountability measures. More information about the criteria is available on The Joint Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re proud of this accomplishment and of the dedicated staff who live our focus on safety and quality every day,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Andrew Resnick, chief quality officer at Penn State Hershey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Though this recognition is based on performance of at least 95 percent, we are committed to 100 percent as our institutional goal.â&#x20AC;?

Early detection still a challenge with pancreatic cancer HERSHEY — November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. According to the American Cancer Society, more than 46,000 people will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the United States this year and more than 39,000 people will die from the disease. But, new treatments are extending the survival rate and research continues for a cure. Dr. Niraj Gusani, a surgical oncologist at Penn State Hershey Cancer Institute, said what makes pancreatic cancer so dangerous is that it is not usually found until it has already reached advanced stages. “It is one of the most difficult cancers to find early because the symptoms are very non-specific and can be mistaken for much more common, much less deadly problems,” said Gusani, who heads Penn State Hershey’s Program for Liver, Pancreas and Foregut Tumors. For example, patients with abdominal pain, difficulty eating, weight loss or jaundice may have liver disease or gallstones — though sometimes those same symptoms can indicate advanced pancreatic cancer. “Unfortunately, we don’t have any good early detection tools,” said Gusani. “Unlike colon and breast cancer, there’s no good screening test for pancreatic cancer, although there’s a

lot of research underway to look for such tests.” According to Dr. Charles Dye, a gastroenterologist at Penn State Hershey, cancer is found early when the patient undergoes imaging, such as a CT scan or MRI, for an unrelated issue. “By using these advanced imaging modalities for many problems in the body, we pick up more possible abnormalities in the pancreas that aren’t yet symptomatic,” said Dye. A doctor can then explore any potential problems via endoscopic ultrasound, retrieving tissue samples for testing. This kind of early detection is ideal. “When it is diagnosed early, there are a lot of potentially curative treatment options,” said Gusani. “Early stage pancreatic cancer patients usually need surgery to remove the tumor and then chemotherapy or radiation to keep it from coming back.” While advanced-stage pancreatic cancer is still fatal, some patients today live longer than in the past with developing treatment options. “These (options) aim for improving survival and quality of life rather than a cure, but patients can survive much longer now because we have newer and better chemotherapy regimens that are more effective at treating the tumor with a higher response rate,” said Gusani.

Harlor joins practice

Safer protocols for radiation also make the treatment safer for the patient. Because pancreatic cancer is such a deadly disease, physicians rely heavily on clinical trials to help find new treatment regimens and options for early detection. According to Gusani, most major health care centers have several clinical trials experimenting with new chemo-therapeutic drugs and newer combinations. “In the past few years, those trials have resulted in new treatment options being discovered and approved that have prolonged survival, even in incurable pancreatic cancer,” he said. Research being conducted by Dr. Matthew Moyer, a Penn State Hershey gastroenterologist, focuses on destroying precancerous cysts that are sometimes detected in the pancreas during scans. “We have learned that if you find such a cyst, we may be able to put a combination of medicines in there to destroy the lining and cause it to become smaller instead of continuing to grow and expand,” Dye said. That may prevent some of these cancers from forming and allow doctors to monitor people over time to see if anything is getting worse or changing.

Stengels make gift to volunteer leadership programs UNIVERSITY PARK — The Penn State Alumni Association has received a $1 million gift from an alumni couple to strengthen programs that support Penn State alumni volunteer leaders across the nation. The Stengel Family Endowment for Excellence in Alumni Volunteer Leadership — established by Jim and Kathleen Stengel of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Coronado, Calif., and their family — will fund innovative programs designed to help volunteer leaders become even more effective in their roles. “With our constantly expanding network of affiliate groups — now more than 300 strong — we have a growing need to continue fostering exceptional volunteer leadership,” said Alumni Association president Kay Salvino. “Through their incredible generosity, Jim and Kathleen Stengel are providing the ongoing strategic support we need to empower our extensive leadership network. We are truly grateful for the Stengel family’s partnership with us in service to our alumni and alma mater.” The Stengels met as MBA students at

Penn State — Jim graduating in 1983 and Kathleen Hackim Stengel in 1984 — then married and settled in Cincinnati. Since then, Jim Stengel has emerged as an internationally renowned thought leader, marketing executive and consultant. He culminated a 25-year multinational career at Procter & Gamble as global marketing officer from 2001 to 2008, with responsibility for an $8 billion advertising budget and nearly 7,000 people. During his tenure, Stengel led the effort to leverage higher ideals in brands throughout the P&G portfolio. In 2008, the Stengels partnered to establish The Jim Stengel Company LLC, where Jim serves as president/CEO and Kathleen uses her marketing, merchandizing and business expertise as chief financial officer. The company operates as a think tank and consultancy conducting proprietary research, generating thought leadership, and applying an ideals-driven framework to drive business growth for major U.S. and international organizations. Having written for the Harvard Business Review, Fortune and Forbes, Stengel

also published “Grow: How Ideals Power Growth and Profit at the World’s Greatest Companies” in 2011. “Grow” looked at companies that grew more than three times faster than their competitors and tracked the connection over a 10-year period between financial performance and customer engagement, loyalty and advocacy. “Kathleen and I — along with our children, Claire and Trevor — are thrilled to provide a means of permanent financial support to undergird efforts that will enhance the development and effectiveness of alumni leaders,” Stengel said. “What impresses us about the Alumni Association is that it is anything but complacent or satisfied with its stature. It’s an ideals-driven service organization also striving to be the most ambitious organization of its kind in the world. We trust our gift will help it get one step closer to that goal. “Penn Staters are achievers without the attitude, with a strong sense of community,” he added. “That is Penn State pride. And the people of the Alumni Association are why Kathleen and I are still close to Penn State. They kept us close over the

decades to a place we love.” The Stengel Family endowment will generate approximately $50,000 per year into perpetuity. The fund will be used to expand and improve alumni leader programs, such as national and regional conferences, consortiums of affiliate group leaders in major metro areas, resource guides and materials, webinars and innovative online learning opportunities, increased staff interaction with volunteer leaders, and other forms of support. The Alumni Association charters some 300 affiliate groups currently in active operation. Fourteen new groups have been chartered since 2010, and 20 more are in various states of formation. These alumni groups include geographically based chapters across Pennsylvania, the nation and world; college and campus alumni societies and their affiliate program groups; and alumni interest groups, based on shared interests and affinities and/or shared college experiences. In all, more than 2,000 alumni volunteer leaders serve with these groups as officers and board members.

DURING A Veterans Day event at St. John the Evangelist Catholic School, Master Sergeant Lara Simmon used a world map to show students places where veterans have served.

St. John’s celebrates Veterans Day BELLEFONTE — St. John the Evangelist Catholic School students honored not only all veterans on Veterans Day, but made special time to celebrate their own family members who’ve served in the U.S. military. Kristina Tice, principal of St. John, decided to make this year’s Veterans Day more personal for the students by asking family members to provide biographies, photos, memorabilia and mementos. In just two months, 35 families responded with information on more than 70 related military members. Capt. Ryan Bruner, of the U.S. Army, and Master Sgt. Lara Simmon, of the Pennsylvania Air National Guard, emceed the school’s event, which started with the the origins of Veterans Day and covered the basics of being in the military, the signifi-

cance of Veterans Day, and the sacrifices military members make. The students learned the songs of each military branch, guessed the meaning of various bugle calls and were surprised to discover Nov. 11 is recognized and honored by other nations. They also heard the poem “In Flanders Fields,” written during World War I by Canadian doctor Lt. Col. John McCrae. Bruner brought in photos from his two tours to Afghanistan and wowed the students with his experiences as both a helicopter and a fixed-wing pilot. At the conclusion of the presentation, students were encouraged to look at all the veterans’ displays, including a world map with “duty location” push pins that circumnavigated the globe.

Penns Valley students honor veterans with assembly By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; On Veterans Day, Nov. 11, the seventh- and eighth-grade classes of Penns Valley High School gathered in the school auditorium to honor United States veterans, past and present. About 10 local veterans were guests at the assembly, which was opened by high school counselor Karen Bossert. Local Boy Scouts presented the colors, placing the U.S. and Pennsylvania flags on the stage. The auditorium, walls lined with hundreds of paper stars representing area veterans, was filled with students and guests. The national anthem was played by the Penns Valley Band, then several poems following the theme â&#x20AC;&#x153;America is â&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;? were read by eighth-grade students who had composed them. The first guest speaker of the day, Sgt. John Sheehan, was introduced. Sheehan, who served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1988 to 1996, shared some of his military experiences with the students. He told students about the meanings of both Veterans Day and Memorial Day, noting that Veterans Day was originally called Armistice Day, marking the Nov. 11, 1919, signing of the armistice which ended World War I. It later became Veterans Day, and was designated to honor all American military veterans who served in war or in peace. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, either Memorial Day or Veterans Day is a special day that you take time to remember people who made sacrifices, whether it was veterans who were away from their families or someone who made the ultimate sacrifice, giving a life for their country,â&#x20AC;? said Sheehan. Sheehan shared what motivated him to become a Marine. His grandfather and some friends started a hunting club many years ago. It was passed down to Sheehanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, an Army veteran, and Sheehan, in his youth, spent

time with the club members, most of whom were also veterans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought the guys in the hunting club were the greatest guys around,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I absolutely, positively wanted to serve my country in some way.â&#x20AC;? Sheehan enlisted in the summer of 1987, and was off to boot camp in Parris Island, S.C., in May 1988. He recounted some of the physical and mental rigors of boot camp, saying that the mental part was tougher than the physical. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you go to any branch of the service â&#x20AC;&#x201D; any boot camp â&#x20AC;&#x201D; get yourself in shape before you go,â&#x20AC;? he recommended. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going to Marine Corps boot camp was the toughest thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever done, and I will say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever done.â&#x20AC;? Following his combat training, Sheehan received training as a heavy equipment operator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got to play in the dirt, and be on the flight line â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it was pretty interesting,â&#x20AC;? he said. He worked with the Air Force, loading C-5 Galaxy cargo planes, and also helped with some community ser-

vice projects, building baseball and soccer fields. Sheehan answered questions from the students following his address, then more eighth-grade students read the poems they had written. The second speaker was Penns Valley technology education teacher Andy Landis, a veteran who served in Afghanistan. He outlined some of the activities of the National Guard, in which he has also served. He showed slides of a flood in Bloomsburg in September 2011, which caused the cancellation of the Bloomsburg Fair. He outlined the guardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s missions of rescuing flood victims, patrolling evacuated homes to prevent looting, and distributing food and water to flood victims. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do a lot of different missions, not only in a military role, but we do a lot of aid throughout our community, the state and the country,â&#x20AC;? said Landis. The program concluded with remarks by Bossert, followed by the retiring of the colors and the playing of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taps.â&#x20AC;?

Penns Valley drama class to present â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Krazy Kampâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; play By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Penns Valley Senior High drama class will present â&#x20AC;&#x153;Krazy Kamp,â&#x20AC;? a comedic farce, on Friday, Nov. 21, in the high school auditorium. The play revolves around two summer camps on opposite sides of beautiful Lake Lookeeloo. Camp Pocahontas, an exclusive resort for young ladies, occupies one side and on the other side is Camp John Smith, which is inhabited by a wild bunch of unruly males. Camp John Smith has been declared â&#x20AC;&#x153;unfit for habitationâ&#x20AC;? by state inspectors, and given only a few days to get itself in shape. The campâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director pleads with Eve Hunnicutt (Abby Pierce), the director of Camp Pocahontas, to allow the boys â&#x20AC;&#x153;shelterâ&#x20AC;? for a day or two to avoid returning their tuition. Mayhem ensues when peaceful Camp Pocahontas shares space with the boys from ramshackle Camp John Smith. Naturally, no one is to know the boys are staying, including the campâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner, Mrs. Thistlemist (Sydney Riegel). There is a parade of flaky intruders and wild characters: Elmer Crumb (Collin Egelhoff), from the carnival, with his associate, Cleopatra Nile (Kayla Palm), who never travels without her snakes; Clams Marinara (Hunter Ross-

man), the infamous gangster; the flashilydressed Dixie (Maddie Fye), who carries a pistol in a violin case; and a poison ivy victim who resembles a walking mummy, among others. Complications pile up until once-lovely Camp Pocahontas learns the state inspector has also declared it unfit for habitation. A surprise ending finishes the farce in a joyful way. The play is directed by PVHS drama teacher Sara Farrant, who is making her directorial debut with this production. Farrant, who has taught English for 15 years, took over the drama position following the retirement of Sue Shirey, who is assisting Farrant with the play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my consultant,â&#x20AC;? said Farrant. Farrant has been enjoying her directorial experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been really fun, but I was initially nervous.â&#x20AC;? The play was originally scheduled for a mid-January performance, but Farrant moved it forward two months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I saw how it was going, I felt like we could do it sooner, and not have to deal with inclement weather in January,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I moved it to November and cut two months of rehearsal out.â&#x20AC;? Farrant says the actors have their lines memorized and are using their final rehearsals to polish their inflection and projection skills to perfect their performances. She noted that this class is composed

Curb energy loss with smart home renovation investments is having whole house fans installed. These fans help by pulling air through the house and are particularly effective during warmer months. One of the most effective methods to eliminate air leakage and live greener is ensuring that your attic is insulated with a high performance insulation solution. Traditional insulation is prone to sagging, leaving gaps and absorbing moisture which can have significant health impacts on occupants while allowing for significant energy loss. Replacing your homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insulation with a high-performance material such as spray foam insulation will both insulate and air seal the entire attic space leading to immediate cost savings. A growing number of building professionals are recommending spray foam insulation as a valuable, cost-effective solution. Suitable for any climate, spray foam insulation helps retain the conditioned air within the building, allowing the heating and cooling equipment to work more efficiently rather than compensating for energy losses through the attic space. As a result of the improved energy consumption, heating and cooling costs are kept down and air leaks become a thing of the past. This content is courtesy of Brandpoint.

PUTTING INSULATION in an attic is just one way to save on your energy bills this winter.

PA#073823

While homeowners may not immediately think of their attic as a major source of energy loss, the reality is that as much as 25 percent of the energy lost in the average American home occurs there. As the weather begins to get cooler, you may be inclined to increase the thermostat to maintain a warm and comfortable home. However, air leakage, caused by numerous gaps and cracks throughout your homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infrastructure, particularly the attic, can cause your HVAC equipment to work overtime and place a strain on your wallet every month. The U.S Environmental Protection Agency says the attic is one of the easiest places within the home to address energy loss. There are several smart home renovation investments that homeowners can make to reduce excessive energy loss through the attic. Ensuring your home has a polyolefin plastic house wrap is one common method to minimize air leakage. This type of wrap is commonly installed during the construction process as part of an integrated, whole building envelope system. Having your home professionally caulked and sealed is another simple and quick investment that addresses energy loss within the home. Another consideration

Millheim hosts annual folk music festival By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

MILLHEIM — The Elk Creek Café & Aleworks was the site of the seventh annual Harry Smith Folk Music Festival on Nov. 16. Several musical acts performed songs from the Harry Smith Anthology of American Folk Music. Harry Smith, who died in 1991, was 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 revived many blues, string band and Cajun recordings made between 1927 and 1933. The anthology featured more than 100 recordings and it represented the first time American folk and traditional music like this had appeared in such a collection. These recordings were highly influential in American music and, some would argue, single-handedly jumpstarted the folk revival of the 1950s and 1960s. They have shaped the music of performers and artists such as Bob Dylan, the Grateful Dead, Elvis Costello and many others. The songs were a dichotomy of the desperation of the Great Depression and great hopes for a better future. The Millheim festival featured several acts playing to a packed house at the Elk Creek Café. Natty Lou and Junior, the Jivebombers, the Gnarled Knuckle String Band, Chicken Tractor Deluxe and special guest artist Lenny Kaye each took to the stage, delighting the audience with music from the Smith anthology.

Kaye has been deeply involved as a musician, writer and record producer with an array of artists and bands. He has been a guitarist for poet-rocker Patti Smith since her band’s inception more than 30 years ago, and is the co-author of “Waylon: An Autobiography,” which is the life story of Waylong Jennings. He also has worked in studios with artists such as R.E.M., Suzanne Vega, Jim Carroll, Soul Asylum, Kristin Hersh and Allen Ginsberg, as well as creating his own solo music. His anthology of 1960s garage rock, “Nuggets,” has long been regarded as defining a genre. Festival organizer Kai Shafft introduced Kaye, who thanked Tim Bowser, owner of the Elk Creek Café, for hosting the festival. He recognized the importance of the Harry Smith anthology. “Harry Smith was one of the most important folk song creators, and it’s great to be able to pay tribute to the effect he had on American folk music,” said Kaye. Kaye then performed several songs from the Smith anthology, accompanied by Christine Smith on accordion. He also sat in with the Jivebombers, who recruited Millheim’s prodigy violinist, 11-year-old Gus Tritsch, to help in performing “Milk Cow Blues”. The Gnarled Knuckle String Band’s members sat in a semicircle surrounding a single pedestal-mounted microphone, mimicking the early days of low-budget, small town radio station broadcasts. Money raised from admissions to the festival went to the Penns Valley HOPE Fund charity, which helps people in the Penns Valley area who are facing major

Dan Gensimore, a HOPE Fund board member addressed the crowd, thanking the Elk Creek Café, the performers and the audience for supporting the HOPE Fund. “We could never the things that we do without people like you and the Harry Smith Festival supporting us,” he said. He also recognized the efforts of festival organizer Kai Shafft.

BELLEFONTE — With election season over, many in the area might be wondering what to do with campaign signs.

Port Matilda Girl Scout Yoga classes scheduled FLIP meetings planned earns prestigious award PORT MATILDA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania recently announced that Amber Kustaborder, of Troop 41155 in Port Matilda, earned the Girl Scoutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest honor, the Gold Award. The State College Area High School junior completed her Gold Award project, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Woods Pop Tab Drive.â&#x20AC;? The project, developed and executed by Kustaborder, engaged an elementary school to join her cause and collect pop tabs for The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Pennsylvania. In total, she collected more than 126,000 pop tabs that will help support families staying at the Ronald McDonald House. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We collected enough for a family to stay four nights free of charge,â&#x20AC;? she said. And, Kustaborder isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will be working with a Brownie troop that attends Grayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wood Elementary School. I will work with them to coordinate the pop tab drive so it can be passed on from troop to troop,â&#x20AC;? she said. The Girl Scout Gold Award challenges Girl Scouts in grades nine through 12 to change the world, no matter how big or small their impact might be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through the Gold Award, girls get passionate about a cause, collaborate with fellow community members and take on a challenge,â&#x20AC;? said Jane Ransom, GSHPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CEO. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited to see how the Gold Award experience has inspired recipients to grow as young women leaders in their communities and the world.â&#x20AC;? Kustaborder and other Gold Award recipients from across central and northeastern Pennsylvania will be honored at a special Gold Award luncheon in summer 2015.

Project Safe Place provides helps for homeless youth By DAVE VACTOR For the Gazette

STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In the early hours of the morning, 17-year-old Jeremy finds himself out of options. His chaotic home life has led him to realize he can no longer stay with his family. After a week of couch-hopping at friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; homes, he is left to wander the streets of downtown State College, unsure about where to go or what to do. When he finally boards a CATA bus, the driver takes one look at him and asks if he needs help. Jeremy says he does, and the driver knows exactly what to do. He calls the Centre County Youth Service Bureauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 24-hour runaway shelter at (814) 234-1200, which all CATA drivers are trained to do. Within 20 minutes, a shelter counselor meets Jere-

my at a designated stop and transports him the Burrowes Street Youth Haven. Upon meeting with Jeremy, steps are taken to make sure Jeremy is safe and that his parents are aware of where he is. Next, Jeremy and his family are connected to community resources to help them address concerns and to determine their next steps. Although this story is fictitious, some young people in our community face similar troubling issues at home, at school and in their everyday life. These situations lead some kids to make unsafe choices like running away. Fortunately, our community has â&#x20AC;&#x153;Proj-

ect Safe Place.â&#x20AC;? Safe Place consists of a network of nearly 40 partnering businesses and community locations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fast food restaurants, hotels, public buses and libraries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that display the black and yellow Safe Place sign in the window. If a youth enters the designated Safe Place and needs help, trained staff members connect them to the YSBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 24hour shelter for assistance. Another feature of Safe Place is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;TXT 4 HELPâ&#x20AC;? initiative, a 24/7 text-forsupport service for youth in crisis. Teens can text the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;safeâ&#x20AC;? and their current location (address/city/state) to 69866 and receive a message with the closest Safe

Place location and the number for the local youth shelter. Users also have the option to text interactively with a mental health professional for more help. For more information on Safe Place, search â&#x20AC;&#x153;Safe Place Trainingâ&#x20AC;? on YouTube. Help YSB spread the word about this wonderful safety net by watching the video and talking to your family about the program. Monday, March 16, through Sunday, March 22, will be National Safe Place week. Be on the lookout for a special community event sponsored by 40 participating businesses. For more information about Safe Place, call YSB at (814) 237-5731. Dave Vactor is the stewardship coordinator for the Centre County Youth Service Bureau.

ClearWater purchases land, transfers to Rothrock State Forest STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; On Oct. 29, ClearWater Conservancy completed the purchase of 281 acres on Tussey Mountain in Harris and Ferguson Townships, and transferred the land to public ownership as part of Rothrock State Forest. The land, purchased from Richard and Bernadette Hale, is to the east of Musser Gap. Since 2007, ClearWater Conservancy has added 928 acres on Tussey Mountain to Rothrock State Forest, creating conserved land for wildlife and recreational use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;ClearWater Conservancy is delighted to acquire the properties and transfer ownership to Rothrock State Forest,â&#x20AC;? said conservancy president Steve Miller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We trust in the land management philosophy and

stewardship of the forest resources carried out by the Bureau of Forestry in our community. Land conservation activities like this are at the core of ClearWaterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission of conserving the special, beautiful, natural places that give our region its character.â&#x20AC;? As part of Rothrock State Forest, the land will now be owned and cared for by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Bureau of Forestry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Forest District and the users of the Rothrock owe a debt of gratitude to ClearWater Conservancy for their diligence in this almost two-year project to make this acquisition happen,â&#x20AC;? said Mark Potter, district forester for Rothrock State Forest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The tract will now be evaluated by district

staff for forest stand health and for recreational opportunities.â&#x20AC;? Conserving and protecting mountain land does more than secure scenic views and recreation, it helps ensure safe drinking water for the entire region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This adds 280 acres of protected mountain land to the mountain recharge area and creates an excellent source water protection area for Slab Cabin Run and both the Harter and Thomas well fields,â&#x20AC;? said Brian Heiser, SCBWA water production superintendent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is very important for the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drinking water supplies because it has been estimated that mountain runoff provides upwards of 50 percent of the groundwater recharge to the carbonate aquifers that support the

State Borough Water Authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thomas and Harter well fields.â&#x20AC;? Funding for the acquisition was from DCNR Bureau of Recreation and Conservation via The Keystone Recreation, Park and Conservation Fund, DCNR Bureau of Forestry and ClearWater Conservancy. ClearWater Conservancyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Land Conservation Program seeks to balance the rapid growth of central Pennsylvania with the conservation of important ecological, cultural and historic places. The organization works with interested landowners and managers to determine appropriate and voluntary conservation methods, including land management recommendations, conservation easements and land acquisitions.

Financial Focus

Are you ready for retirement? It’s never too soon to start By HARRY ZIMBLER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — It’s never too soon to start getting ready to retire, according to Amos Goodall, a State College attorney practicing elder law. Goodall takes a holistic approach to estate planning. Preparing for retirement involves much more than financial considerations. There are a lot of emotional and familial considerations that must be addressed, too. He suggests that the first questions you’ll need to answer are, “How are you going to manage when you can no longer manage? How are you going to live? What kind of legacy do you wish to leave?” Regardless of age, we all need to think about establishing powers of attorney, designating someone we trust to manage our affairs in the event that we cannot do so. “Living wills and powers of attorney should be considered early. Even at 18, we need to make our wishes known,” Goodall said. It is impossible to predict when such legal arrangements will be needed. Everyone needs to have their personal documents well organized so that trusted helpers will know exactly where to go for information, both personal and financial. “You need to provide for the time when you cannot live alone and can’t make decisions,” said Goodall. Many families live far apart and Goodall noted that it’s a gift to your family when

you live in a continuing care facility. “That means the family won’t have to come home every time something happens. They can feel secure that you will be taken care of.” According to AARP, fewer than half of Americans have calculated how much they need to save for retirement, despite that fact the average American spends 20 years in retirement. Once living wills are secured and powers of attorney assigned, financing retirement is the most important task. Setting money aside for retirement is a practice that is highly encouraged. To depend solely on Social Security is not a good idea, though many do. Getting into the habit of saving money and establishing concrete goals is essential retirement readiness. It’s never too early or too late to start saving. Maintaining your current lifestyle is not going to be cheap. The government estimates that you will need about 70 percent of your current income to uphold the status quo. Of course, everyone has different needs and different expectations for retirement. It’s good to think about your desires before it’s too late to do anything about them. If your employer offers a retirement savings plan, participate to the greatest extent possible. If not, get your own Individual Retirement Account started. Take the time to study and understand all the options available with your retirement plan, whether it’s provided by your employer or yourself.

We Need YOU Earn money while doing something that you’ll feel good about!

We are currently looking for folks with a desire to lend a helping hand to the elderly. Formal experience not needed, training and support are provided. 52% of our caregivers are 55 years of age or older.

ACCORDING TO MOST financial experts, the best time to start planning for retirement is now. Once you start saving it goes without saying that you should leave those savings alone. Withdrawing money early can lead to penalties and establish bad habits that undermine your retirement. Knowing what you can expect to receive

from Social Security is helpful knowledge, too. Contact the Social Security Administration for this information. Never assume that you know everything or feel embarrassed because you don’t know enough. Ask questions and rely on expert advice. It’s always available.

Rob Thomas, of Vantage Investment Advisors LLC in State College, offers some suggestions relating to “getting into” a parent’s financial situation. “You should set up a check list of things to take care of,” said Thomas. “Some of the items on your check list will involve their money and others will involve their wishes for end-of-life care.” Such a conversation, if your parents are receptive, could start with, “I have been looking at my will and checking up on my retirement accounts. Do you have an upto-date will that specifies your wishes for your estate? Do you have a living will?” Seventy percent of seniors have advance directives that spell out end-of-life medical wishes, according to a study by the National Institute on Aging. Try to have your parents take care of that if they haven’t already. They can choose whether to allow intubation, CPR and other emergency measures. They also can decide whether they want a feeding tube or the like, or only want “comfort measures.” How do you get a look at your parents’ finances, you may wonder. A recent tax return can clue you in to some of your

This season, we’re taking time out to count our blessings and give thanks. 1. We’re thankful for our thoughtful founders, who conceived and built Foxdale on a strong foundation 25 years ago. 2. We are blessed with an excellent reputation, having been awarded a 5-star rating by the Center for Medicare Services (CMS) and named among the Best Nursing Homes by U.S. News & World Report, for Anthony House, our Nursing Care neighborhood. 3. We are grateful for our wonderful residents, employees and those serving on our Board of Trustees, who together make up our special, caring community.

parents’ assets if they are amenable to sharing information. In addition, according to Thomas, it would be wise to set up a folder or file containing all important phone numbers, account numbers and passwords for IRAs, pension plans, etc. The time to set up a power of attorney is while a person is capable of entering into the decision. For a power of attorney to be valid, your parent must be competent when he or she signs it. A recent article in Kiplinger’s Retirement Planning 2014 noted that a power of attorney must conform to the laws of the state, or states, where your parents live. The article also points out that if there are siblings, all of them can be given power of attorney and the document can state if they must act together. If a person is suddenly incapacitated, it is much more difficult to get access to his or her accounts to pay for care, pay bills or maintain a property. If you have the power of attorney, you can go to the bank or other institution and have immediate access to accounts. Should your parents need to update their wills, they should consider whether the original person named is still the preferred executor. Would someone else be more appropriate at this time? Who are all the beneficiaries — not just of home and bank accounts, but also of IRAs, annuities and pension plans? If there are brokerage accounts, they must be listed. Are there charities that your parents wish to give a percentage or a set amount to? Are there any grandchildren that are to benefit from a life insurance policy or other asset? All these questions can be covered in one visit to a lawyer. Once satisfied with their wills, your par-

ents should obtain three copies. Attorneys advise clients to give one to their lawyer, one to the person who holds power of attorney, and one for their own records. Now that you have a grip on your parents’ finances, what about the people they depend on? If you live away from your family, you may not know their spiritual adviser, their accountants and others. Include these names and numbers in your folder. None of this is easy and each situation is different. We all wish that Dad or Mom could sleep away peacefully in their own home, living exactly as they have chosen. Your mother may never lose her faculties and your dad may never require caregivers. But how much better to be prepared if the unthinkable happens? A fall, a sudden stroke or an illness can change a life in the time it takes to write a note reminding yourself, “Check on Mom and Dad’s finances.” I’ve had personal experience with the value of early planning. My mother was having some lapses in memory and I was attempting to help with certain things. She willingly spelled out her wishes for health care and we went to a lawyer where she signed over her house to me and my two sisters. (Of course, she was allowed to remain in it as long as possible.) Shortly after taking that step, an unscrupulous company sold her a new roof — at a very inflated price. I was able to stop the transaction and have the contract declared void because she legally did not own the house. For peace of mind, plan early. It will save headaches later and you will have the assurance that you have followed your parents’ wishes.

Developing an estate plan requires some necessary documents STATE COLLEGE — Members of the Centre Region Estate Planning Council want everybody to take a moment to think about their estate plans. You may be thinking, “Why do I need an estate plan?” Well, if you have children, a spouse, own a home or have a retirement fund, you need to think about an estate plan. What is an estate plan? It is making decisions about things now for when you need them in the future, whether that is when you are no lonDesiree F. Fralick ger here or if you beis president of the come incapacitated. Centre Region Whether you’ve Estate Planning had estate documents Council and a shareholder with done for many years The Mazza Law or you’re just starting Group PC. Email out, there are three her at fralick@ documents that everymazzalaw.com. one should consider when developing an estate plan: n The first document is a will. The will is the document that says, “Here is what I want done with all of my items when I am no longer here.” Within the will, there are three fiduciary roles: an executor, a guardian and a trustee. An executor is the party that gathers all of the decedent’s asset information and debt information, uses the assets to pay the debts, and then distributes the balance according to the terms of the will. A guardian is a caretaker for minor children or, in the case of a special-needs child, for the length of time that a guardian is needed. A trustee tends to trusts that are created under wills for various reasons, the most common being for minor children or special-needs children; the trust lasts as long as indicated in the terms of the will.

DESIREE FRALICK

When deciding on who should fill these fiduciary roles, you want to select someone who can handle the responsibilities, is a good record keeper and, in the case of the trustee and executor, also has some financial knowledge to handle those aspects of the role. n The second document is a power of attorney. A power of attorney is the document that allows someone to step into your shoes to manage your real property and other financial assets. This includes paying your bills if you are unable to do so. A power of attorney also authorizes the agent to mortgage, sell, transfer and take any other actions that are necessary to assist you with your finances. An important thing to know about a power of attorney is that the agent you have named must take action that is for your benefit only. The agent’s actions can’t benefit himself/ herself, nor can the agent co-mingle your funds with his/hers. When naming an agent under a power of attorney, you want to select someone who you can trust and are comfortable with handling your finances and your real property assets. Powers of attorney often come into play when an individual is deemed incompetent, but they can also be effective and used immediately to allow spouses to transact business for each other if one spouse is unavailable. n The third document is a health care power of attorney/living will. The health care power of attorney is a document that states as long as you can make your health care decisions for yourself, you will make them. If there comes a point when you cannot, your agent will make those decisions based on the instructions that you have provided. The living will portion of the document is for end-of-life decision making. That document generally states that if you are in a terminal condition with no realistic hope of recovery and it is only going to prolong the process of your dying, that you do not want heroic measures taken.

If, however, you do want those heroic measures taken, that needs to be placed in the instruction of the living will as well. You want to choose individuals to act as agents who are able to make these decisions comfortably. The most important step in this process is for you to communicate your wishes to the health care agents that you have named. In addition to the three basic legal documents noted above, it is important to think about things when developing an estate plan that really aren’t necessarily legal documents, but that your agents and family members will need at the time that you may be incompetent, incapacitated or have passed away. In our office, we often call this list a document locator. A document locator is a written sheet of paper or a spreadsheet in the computer that provides your agents and your family with information that they may need, such as where your safe deposit box is, where the keys to that box are, where your estate planning documents are kept, where your deeds are, where you bank, what investment accounts you have and where they are located, and who the agents can contact about those assets. The same information applies to insurance policies, retirement plans, Social Security records, military records and discharge papers. In addition to the list of documents and their whereabouts, we also recommend that you create a list of professional advisers, such as attorneys, accountants and/or investment advisers, and provide information on neighbors who might be helpful to your family when they are trying to make decisions or find information. Further, with the technology age, if there are bills that you regularly pay online as opposed to receiving an invoice and paying it via regular mail, you will want to create a list of those bills. You’ll also want to list any passwords for online accounts that you have, including investment accounts, bank accounts

Photodisc

EVERY PERSON should have a will. A will basically says, “here is what I want done with all of my items when I am no longer here.” and even social media accounts such as Facebook or Twitter so that those accounts can be shut down when necessary. Finally, we recommend that clients write down their instructions for funeral services or memorial services. If that paperwork is readily available to your family it assists them at a time when they are struggling. If you are so inclined, you can prepay and make those arrangements ahead of time. The information provided is basic information that you should discuss with your advisers to determine what may be needed in your own estate planning. Meet with your financial adviser, your accountant and your attorney, and communicate with all of them your wishes and plans for the future so that all of your professional advisers can work together to provide the best plan for you. No two plans are the same and no two situations are alike. Therefore, meeting with your advisers and planning ahead alleviates any stressful situations for your family and friends going forward.

Seniors must take steps to protect their assets By CONNIE COUSINS correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

Many seniors have retired and suddenly face the question, “What about my money?” After years of paychecks and allotments to retirement plans and stock options, the process of sorting it all out seems insurmountable. The most important thing to consider after retiring is how to protect your assets. If you haven’t done any protection planning, what you’ve accumulated is vulnerable to potential future creditors. If unforeseen accident or lawsuits should occur, you could lose everything. To protect yourself from such losses, you must identify your loss exposure and put plans in place to reduce your vulnerability. In protecting your assets by repositioning them to make it legally difficult for creditors to reach them, you must be careful that you are not hiding assets. If your plans appear to have been made to defraud, a court will disregard them and make the assets available to creditors anyway. To make sure you are within your legal bounds, make sure your plans are made for legitimate business purposes or to accomplish legitimate estate-planning objectives. Carefully document any arrangements you undertake and do so before you have any problems with creditors. What sort of liability can wipe out assets? There are myriad possibilities. An illness can lead to bills from hospitals, doctors, nursing homes and other health care pro-

viders. Tax liability through the IRS can be huge drains on your life savings if not properly handled. Accident victims, including those who were harmed by the actions of employees or minor children, can file devastating lawsuits. Then, there are business creditors such as employees, government agencies, customers and suppliers, or the creditors of others for whom you may have cosigned. Your husband or wife or live-in partner could be a danger to your assets, also. How can people protect themselves or shift the risk? Here are some asset protection techniques to consider: ■ Insurance. According to Kish Bank literature and to National Penn Bank discussions, shifting risk to an insurance company should be the first line of defense. Begin by reviewing your existing coverage and then increasing where appropriate. You should be insured against death and disability, medical risk, including longterm care, liability and both personal and business property loss. ■ Statutory protection. This means that creditors can’t enforce a lien or judgment against property that is exempt under federal or state law. In non-bankruptcy proceedings, both federal and state law control whether property is exempt or not. In bankruptcy proceedings, there are separate state and federal laws pertaining to exemption. You must research to find out which type of property is exempt and to what extent. Property which may be exempt includes your homestead or principal resi-

dence, personal property, motor vehicle, IRAs, pension plans and Keogh plans, prepaid college tuition plans, life insurance benefits and cash value, proceeds of life insurance, proceeds of annuities and wages. In some places, creditors of the husband or wife cannot reach TBE, or tenancy by the entirety, assets. ■ Asset placement. This refers to transferring legal ownership of assets to other persons or entities, limited partnerships, corporations, etc. You could also shift assets to your spouse, especially if you are in an occupation or business with a greater risk of liability. ■ Corporations. These can be set up by changing a business structure to make it a separate entity in the eyes of the law. There are several types, and attorneys and tax professionals should be consulted before choosing a type of company or partnership. ■ Trusts. Yet another way of protecting your assets — both business and personal — trusts can be helpful in certain circumstances. You can name yourself and another as beneficiaries. The other trustee, when you die, receives the assets and they are thus protected from creditors. ■ Homestead laws. These protect some or all of the equity in your home against certain creditor claims, but only ones incurred after the homestead status started. The homestead laws vary by state. Again, an attorney would be needed to check the law in Pennsylvania. There are limits on how much equity is protected.

Some things aren’t worth the risk. Talk to your family now about what matters most.

A REVERSE MORTGAGE can give you supplemental income. It is based your age, the equity in the house by the lender and the closing costs.

Tap into your home’s value

How can your home be a source of money for retirement? Two ways to tap your home’s equity are to trade down or to use a reverse mortgage. Selling your home and buying another smaller one will reduce your housing costs — many times substantially. Taxes, smaller bills for heating and cooling, and reduced maintenance costs are only a few of the costs that can be lessened. If you choose a condo situation, your savings may be even more because outside maintenance, painting and landscaping costs are absorbed into condo fees. Downsizing is, of course, not such a great trade-off if you are very attached to your home, still need a larger space for family gatherings or just love your neighborhood. A reverse mortgage can give you supplemental income. It is based your age, the equity in the house, the interest rate charged by the lender and the closing costs. With a reverse mortgage, you can continue to live in your home for life. There is a reverse type called an annuity advance mortgage, in which the payments can continue even if you stop living in the home. But, there also are disadvantages to a reverse mortgage: n The equity value of your home is reduced by each payment and this may have a negative effect on your children’s ultimate inheritance. n The closing costs for a reverse mortgage are often more than for a normal mortgage, so that is a consideration if you intend to only stay in your home a few years. n Homeowner costs are still there — real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and other bills.

Mature living begins in your 50s By TOM KING Special to the Gazette

For many who are in their 50s, inevitable events of the era are met with either a “might as well roll with it” or a “sure beats the alternative” response. With “become an empty nester” and “get a colonoscopy” already on the to-do list, the push back when adding “plan to be a senior” is understandable. Thoughts about growing older have personal implications to each and every person. But preparing for one’s later years in life should start well before the time. And, yes, they arrive whether you see them coming or not. There is much research and information directed at the financial, retirement and investment planning associated with reaching your mature years. In fact, there is so much that it can cause delays. To ensure you have enough time to plan, start sooner rather than later. It’ll make a difference once you reach retirement and your senior years. Most people want some type of comfort and security in their later years of life. The best way to proactively address this is to learn, anticipate and plan. It sounds simple and obvious, and to an extent it is. You may be in it or you may be thinking about it but, like it or not, mature living starts in your 50s. In the second half of your life, you might realize that you have “things,” including bank accounts, real estate, businesses and retirement plans. You have worked and continue to work

hard to ensure financial stability, but take into account the branches you have out there, especially if they are all over the place. You might also notice that your spending habits have changed. Your daily bills, like groceries and gas, are decreasing, but lump sum expenses, like tuition, travel and remodeling, continue to accumulate. Time is “yours” though. You are probably still busy with work and family, but you might have some spare time to volunteer or pursue hobbies that you didn’t previously have time for. Time is still at a premium, but instead of obligations you have choices. These are three readily identifiable events indicating that mature living is approaching and planning is appropriate. While this list is by no means all-inclusive or exhaustive, these three represent significant shifts away from the typical accumulation focus to a more distributionoriented mindset. Your 50s are the time when decisive, powerful planning and actions can elicit substantial differences in outcome in later years. Planning and preparing for your senior years will address many known concerns such as risk, consolidation, titling, spend-down selection and asset allocation. Although common topics, how they apply to your situation and personality are unique. Consider the following steps when beginning your planning process: n Hear the story. Learn what “decumulation” and “diminished capacity planning” mean and how they apply to you. There is a

Digital Vision

FOR THOSE in their 50s, financial planning becomes a key part of the routine. Most experts agree that planning needs to happen sooner rather than later. big difference between “accumulating things” and “using things.” Knowing what risk means to you will help clarify the 25 to 50 years you will spend in retirement. n Evaluate your time. In your 50s, you generally have the resources of time and, specifically, health on your side. Evaluating and using them now can create

choices, options and certainties for your future before those qualities have changed or deteriorated. n Get a second opinion. Working to clarify your mature living goals and vision is very different from pumping as much money as possible into your retirement fund. More moving parts and fac-

tors need to be considered and addressed. The more educated you become about retirement topics today, the better choices and decisions you will be able to make about tomorrow. Tom King is owner of King Wealth Strategies, an independent firm located in State College.

TYRONE — Each November, the home care and hospice community honor and reflect upon the heroes, nurses, caregivers, home care aides, therapists and social workers who make a difference in the lives of the patients and families they serve. Omni Home Care has been celebrating National Home Care Month by recognizing how these critical workers play a central role in patients’ lives. “More than home health care providers, we view ourselves as senior advocates,” said Doug Sloey, director of business development at Omni Home Care. “As senior advocates, we are committed to providing health care that looks beyond the obvious needs of seniors enabling them to live in their homes as long as possible.” The National Association for Home Care and Hospice has defined this year’s National Home Care Month theme as “Home is the Center of Healthcare.” “It is highly appropriate that in November we celebrate the nurses, therapists, aides and other providers who have chosen to use their lives to help disabled and dying Americans,” said Val J. Halamandaris, president of NAHC. “No work is no-

bler, and no group in our society more deserves our respect and admiration. Helping the frail, disabled and dying Americans to stay independent and happy in their homes is our goal. Home care professionals and volunteers, along with the modern medicine and technology, make it possible for patients to be cared for in their homes, where they can be surrounded by their families and loved ones.” Home health care has long been recognized as the least expensive delivery system for health care, bringing caring and highly trained professionals into the homes of seniors across the country. Omni Home Care, a subsidiary of Almost Family Inc., has operated in Blair County for more than 10 years, serving the seniors of Blair, Bedford, Cambria, Clearfield, Centre, Huntingdon and Mifflin counties. Over the course of its tenure, Omni has racked up eight consecutive Homecare Elite awards, recognizing excellence in patient care and quality outcomes.

Seniors need to be prepared and proactive with their ďŹ nances By HARRY ZIMBLER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; As we approach retirement, it is vital that we know exactly how to handle the financial aspects of dayto-day life if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to maintain the lifestyle we desire. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to be prepared and proactive in taking the steps necessary to guarantee a safe and secure retirement. The first step is an honest assessment of your current financial situation. If you need to work with a financial professional, do so after carefully selecting a firm or individual you trust. It is not wise to leave financial decisions until itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late to make necessary adjustments. A financial adviser will be able to help you decide how to protect your savings and invest. Judy Loy, CEO and investment professional at Nestlerode and Loy Inc., believes that planning for retirement must include a concern with inflation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having income now and down the road requires a plan that would allow for a regular increase in income,â&#x20AC;? she said. It is also important to maximize what you will receive from Social Security. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be conscious of how to get the best return,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people start it at 62. This is often not in their best interest. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to use other personal resources if at all possible. Social Security is indexed to inflation, so waiting would be beneficial.â&#x20AC;? Loy also pointed out that people are living longer today and must be more aggressive in preparing investments for retirement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are living 21 years in retirement, on average,â&#x20AC;? she said. We must all confront the reality that a health condition may make it impossible for us to make the decisions and take the actions necessary to protect ourselves financially. You must prepare for the pos-

sibility that your partner or spouse will be asked to take your place. You may need to consider selecting a trusted individual to be designated to hold a power of attorney in making financial decisions. At the very least, it is wise to create a list of your financial dealings and keeping that list in a place that is accessible to a person you choose. In an emergency, they will need passwords and other account information. Life in retirement requires a bit more caution and control than our professional lives. Look for ways to cut your expenses wherever possible and be sure to establish spending budgets and limits. There are many ways to cut costs. You should consider listing those in any financial plan you create. In retirement, saving where you can will help ensure that you can continue to do the things you most enjoy. Be very cautious about responding to the many calls and mailings you will receive. Scam artists are always on the prowl, so it helps to avoid offers that you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t request. It is helpful to add your name to any â&#x20AC;&#x153;do not callâ&#x20AC;? lists available. Credit reports will remain important tools in monitoring your financial health. A periodic review of your credit reports will help you stay on top of any scams â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including identity theft â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that may be attempted in your name. Credit companies make mistakes. And mistakes left uncorrected can make for a retirement nightmare. Be vigilant. Borrowing money from cash advance companies in unwise. These loans are often rife with danger, including hidden fees and outrageous interest rates when you go to repay the loan. Here, a financial adviser can help you safely borrow money, if it necessary.

Judy Loy, is CEO at Nestlerode & Loy Investment Advisors, State College. She is a regular columnist for StateCollege. com.

The old saying “ignorance is bliss” seems particularly fitting when it comes to retirement. The news and reports sound dire, with many families very behind in their savings. What is the current state of affairs for future retirees? What is the best path to catching up? Let’s start with the studies. Bankrate’s 2014 survey of retirement savings shows disappointing results. More than 25 percent of those surveyed age 50 to 64 have yet to start saving for retirement. The statistics are particularly bad for those without an employer retirement plan (401k, etc.). Per the Employee Benefit Research Institute, these workers tend to have less than $1,000 in savings and investments. The consensus among studies is that people

(this way your contribution will increase when your pay does), particularly paying attention to any match your employer provides. An employer’s match is the most significant return you can get on any investment, so definitely take full advantage of it. For low-income workers, Social Security replaces a larger portion of their pre-retirement income. However, Social Security is based on your “average indexed monthly earnings during the 35 years in which you earned the most.” Therefore, if you have not worked 35 years, the zero years of earnings will count against you. In this instance, working longer to replace those zero years with earnings can make a large difference to your benefits. In addition, the longer you wait to take benefits, the better off you will be. Eligible workers can claim as early as 62, but if you wait until age 70 — the latest age that you can start taking benefits — you increase your benefit by 8 percent for every full year after your full retirement age. The full retirement age — also called ‘normal retirement age’ — for Social Security is 67 for those born in 1960 or later. To find out your situation, register on the Social Security website, www.ssa.gov. There, you can register for your Social Security statement and find out more details on Social Security in general. You must plan and start as early as possible and put away as much as possible, particularly if you don’t have a retirement plan through work. Otherwise, screenwriter Gene Perret’s quote is applicable: “Retirement: It’s nice to get out of the rat race, but you have to learn to get along with less cheese.”

your home — will have to be repaid when the home is sold. A reverse mortgage can be very helpful for some individuals. Just be fully aware of its requirements. Retirement doesn’t mean you can’t earn income. You may want to consider adding to your income with a part-time job. Do you have a hobby that you could turn into a paycheck? There are guidelines to follow when you earn income on Social Security, so check into the limits. The best way to approach financing your retirement is to be proactive and ask many questions. After all, they’re the key to your future.

Whether you’re retired, approaching retirement or in the prime of your career, this advice applies across the board: Be careful how you use those credit cards. An overuse of those plastic cards can cause tremendous financial challenges for anyone. The goal should always be to pay your bill in full when the credit card comes due. Credit cards are a convenience that should be handled ever so carefully. If, after careful consideration, you decide that a reverse mortgage is a step you want or need to take, be advised that the money you’ve borrowed — against the equity in

WHY We’re a modern pharmacy with old-fashioned service:

without a company retirement plan are the worst prepared. Otherwise, the data runs the gamut, from Rand Corporation, which claims 70 percent of older Americans are prepared for retirement, to Boston College, which concludes only 48 percent of households are prepared. Because each study denotes a different retirement cohort, it is difficult to get a clear picture of the success or failure of Americans’ retirement plans. To make it clearer, it is important for individuals to take control and prepare for their own retirements. Rather than reading generalized doom and gloom articles, take stock of where you are financially. With the help of an adviser, compile your retirement accounts, desires and dates to run a comprehensive calculator to determine what steps you need to make. A calculator can help you see if you fall short and the adviser will help you to decide what to do with the information. You can always decide to retire later than anticipated, save more toward retirement or even lower your standard of living in retirement. There are several general things people typically fail to do that would help them move further ahead. For those who do not have a retirement plan at work or who are not eligible yet, you should continue to contribute toward retirement. For example, roll over your former employer’s 401k to an IRA and make contributions to that until you are eligible again for your current employer’s plan. When you become eligible for your employer’s plan, make your contribution the highest percentage you can

Dominating performance

State High upsets DuBois to capture District 6 Class AAAA title By MATT ALLIBONE StateCollege.com

HOLLIDAYSBURG — Prior to the State College High football team’s playoff game against DuBois, Little Lions head coach Matt Lintal said he believed his team was better than its 4-6 record. After their Nov. 14 championship game, everyone else should believe that, too. Playing against the heavily favored Beavers at Hollidaysburg High School, the Little Lions turned in a shockingly dominant performance, dismantling Dubois 29-7 to win the district title. “The preparation of our guys was terrific,” Lintal said. “They really came out ready to play. Before that first kickoff, they were antsy to get going and it showed.” For most of the night, the problems that plagued the Little Lions throughout the season seemed to happen to Dubois instead. Whether it was turnovers, the inability to finish off drives or bad penalties, the Beavers hardly looked like a squad that finished 8-2 during the regular season. “We have really focused on turnovers, on limiting them on offense and forcing them on defense,” Lintal said. “Our kids played hard and they played together tonight.” The key to the dominating performance was the State College defense, which harassed star quarterback Gabe French all night. From the front seven pressuring French to the secondary intercepting him twice, the Division I prospect never had a chance to develop any rhythm.

“It was really our entire defense that played great tonight,” Lintal said. “The secondary covered everybody up and that really allowed our guys to get sacks. Our big advantage was up front and that really showed tonight.” It became clear early on that the game was heading in State College’s favor. After a 29-yard Kevin Cramer field goal put them up 3-0 on their first drive, the Little Lions continued to gain momentum when Peter Haffner picked off a French pass in the end zone. At that point, the pieces continued to fall in place for the Lions. Jordan Misher capped off a long drive with a 3-yard score before the defense made yet another statement. With French and the Beavers threatening to score deep in State College territory, linebacker Nathan King scooped up a fumble and returned it 80 yards for a touchdown. The thrilling play gave the Lions a 15-0 lead (following a second missed extra point) and seemed to break the Beavers spirit. “Getting a defensive touchdown was huge,” Lintal said. ‘That was tremendous and uplifting for us.” The onslaught continued when the next Lions drive ended with a 21-yard touchdown burst from Misher. Although DuBois would threaten one more time in the first half, an interception by Kellin Valentine sent the game into halftime with State College up 22-0. “(At halftime) they were still hungry,” Lintal said. “They still weren’t satisfied with what had happened. We met as a de-

After stopping State College on the opening drive of the half, French took advantage of a blown coverage by connecting with Kevin Foley for a 40-yard score. With the momentum potentially shifting, the Lions immediately drove a stake into the Beavers hopes with a two-play, 79-yard touchdown drive. Weakland

scrambled for a 58-yard gain before Misher scored his third touchdown with a 21-yard run for a 29-7 lead. That would be the icing on the cake for State College, as the fourth quarter came and went with little action before the team jubilantly celebrated its upset victory. “Right after the touchdown, the drive they had to get a little momentum, to come back and answer really shut the door on them,” Lintal said. “We made some adjustments and they paid off.”

State High faces another tough test in Erie McDowell By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

CLARION — The State College football team took home its 13th district title with a 29-7 victory over DuBois on Nov. 14 at Hollidaysburg High School. The Little Lions did it with defense. State College forced five turnovers and held the ultra-high scoring Beavers, who were averaging more than 40 points per game, to just a single touchdown, and that

in the third quarter when State College was already ahead by 22 points. Key to that effort was State College’s ability to slow down DuBois do-everything quarterback Gabe French. French came into the game averaging more than 400 yards of offense each game by himself, but the Little Lions held him to more reasonable numbers — 196 yards and a touchdown passing and 41 rushing. They also intercepted him three times in their own territory, squelching promising DuBois drives. The result was a surprisingly big win and a trip to the PIAA tournament. State College coach Matt Lintal and his staff might want to keep whatever game plan they devised last week for French. That’s because this week’s opponent in the first round of the PIAA tournament, Erie McDowell, has a quarterback that is eerily similar to French. And just as good, if not better. Jake Tarasovitch does just about ev-

erything for McDowell. The 5-foot-10, 178-pound senior has completed 78 of 154 passes this season for 946 yards and six touchdowns, and he’s run the ball 182 times for 1,002 yards and 13 scores. He also caught 11 passes for 162 yards and another two touchdowns. In McDowell’s 35-6 playoff victory over Brashear on Nov. 15, Tarasovitch ran for a touchdown, passed for one and scored one receiving. Admittedly, those are not French-like numbers, but the 8-4 Trojans have played an arduous schedule. They have lost to only one Pennsylvania team — Cathedral Prep. The other losses have come to Lake Catholic (Ohio), Orchard Park (N.Y.), and St. Ignatius (Ohio). Since the Ignatius loss on Oct. 11, McDowell has won five straight. Although it may not seem like it, McDowell has players other than Tarasovitch. Taking up the slack for Tarsovitch at quarterback is sophomore Levi Becker,

who the Trojan coaches believe has a bright future. Becker has completed 19 of 29 passes for 228 yards and two scores. Senior running back Jared Carslon has 94 carries for 698 yards and eight touchdowns, and he also leads the team in receiving with 29 catches for 406 yards and three touchdowns. Defensively, McDowell has 19 sacks, seven interceptions, eight fumble recoveries and four blocked kicks. It is an understatement to say that State College will have to come up with another stellar defensive effort against what is likely a more balanced and battle-tested team. Jordan Misher, John Weakland and the rest of the State College offense would also love to have a repeat of the 450 yards and 29 points they put up against DuBois. One thing is for sure: State College has pretty much seen it all in the Mid-Penn, and that experience should carry over into a game like this. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

Victory caps historic week for men’s basketball program By CLAYTON SAUERTIEG correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — It wasn’t a pretty start, but Pat Chambers and his Penn State Nittany Lion basketball team eventually pulled it together on Nov. 14, downing non-conference foe Morgan State 61-48 at the Bryce Jordan Center. Just two days after signing the highest-ranked recruiting class in men’s basketball history according to Rivals. com, Chambers’ men took to the floor for the first time this season looking to qualify for their first NCAA tournament since 2011. The Nittany Lions, led by senior guard D.J. Newbill, got off to a slow start from the field, falling behind 16-8 10 minutes into the first half. Sparked by Newbill, the Lions then went on a 23-9 run to close out the half, giving Penn State a 31-25 advantage heading into intermission. After a 3-pointer from talented

freshman point guard Shep Garner swelled Penn State’s lead to 14 with just more than 10 minutes remaining in the game, the Bears went on a run of their own, cutting the lead to eight. But that was as close as Morgan State would get, as strong free throw shooting and stout defense would help the Nittany Lions see out the rest of the game. Newbill led the way for the Nittany Lions, dropping in 17 on just four-of-10 shooting, but it was Garner who left the home crowd wanting more. The Philadelphia native finished with 14 points on six-of-nine shooting in his college debut, a night that is sure to have the Penn State basketball community stirring. Chambers said he was proud of the way his team performed after getting off to a slow start, and felt that his teams multiple scoring options are what make them so dangerous. “I just felt like we played very consistent,” Chambers said. “Even when we weren’t making shots, typically that

affects kids’ effort. I don’t think we saw that.” One of area of concern for Chambers was turnovers. The Nittany Lions turned over the ball 18 times on the night, which Chambers felt was about five too many, even for a young team. “We try to give them confidence and freedom on the offensive end, which I think you saw,” he said. “That’s where you got to clean up the turnovers a little bit.” Penn State capped the weekend with an impressive 73-54 win over Fordham on Sunday evening at the BJC. The Lions are now 2-0. Chambers’ men will have 13 nonconference games this season against a fairly soft slate of teams to figure out their turnover woes. The Nittany Lions open Big Ten Conference play on Wednesday, Dec. 31, as they head to Madison, Wis., to take on the preseason favorite to win the conference, the Wisconsin Badgers.

PSU women’s soccer team advances in tournament UNIVERSITY PARK — The Nittany Lion women’s soccer team (18-3-0) used a big second half to power past Buffalo, 4-1, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at Jeffrey Field on Nov. 14. With midfielder Raquel Rodriguez leading the charge, Penn State showed its determination to make the most of out of the opportunity presented by the NCAA Tournament. Using the “one game at a time” mentality, head coach Erica Walsh prepared the team not only physically for the postseason tournament but mentally, as well. “We always try and keep the end goal in mind when training. When it comes to the NCAA we can only prepare

for the game in front of us and give it everything we have,” Walsh said. Starting the game off with a goal by Mallory Weber on an assist from Rodriguez in the 15th minute, the Lions ended the first half with a 1-0 lead over Buffalo. Despite the one-goal advantage, the Lions were motivated to extend the lead in the second half. “Coach gave us a good halftime speech, which got us fired up. We wanted to play for our seniors and we knew one goal wasn’t going to be enough,” said Weber. The Lions answered the bell in a big way in the second half. Within a span two minutes early in the second half, Penn State scored twice against the Bulls with tallies by Rodriguez in the 51st minute and then freshman Megan Schafer with assistance by Salina Williford during the 52nd.

Costa Rican women’s national team, Rodriguez returned better than ever. “I’m just really happy to be back with playing with Penn State. I view this program as more of a family than a team and that makes a huge difference while playing the game,” said Rodriguez. Buffalo scored off a penalty kick by Katie Roberts in the 81st minute, but the Lions finished strong. Mallory Peterson scored in 86th minute with assist by Anna Witte and Haleigh Echard for Lions’ fourth goal of the night. “The team’s energy and excitement was fantastic today, as a coach I couldn’t be prouder,” said Walsh. “I thought the team’s tempo was incredible tonight, it was clear that they wanted this win.” In its first visit to the NCAA Tournament, Buffalo walked off the field impressed by Penn State’s tactical and technical game. “Tons of credit to Penn State, they were just too much for us to handle and showed they are a team that can go far in this tournament. No. 11 is a handful and she was on fire tonight,” said Buffalo head coach Shawn Burke. After showing their ability to bounce back from a tough loss, the Nittany Lions are eager for their next match. They move on to face Connecticut at Jeffrey Field on Friday, Nov. 21, in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Penn State is eager to move into prep mode for the second match in the post-season.

Welcome back, college basketball UNIVERSITY PARK — College basketball is back, and both the Penn State men and women have opened their seasons at the Bryce Jordan Center with results that were just one basket shy of perfection. On Nov. 14, head coach Patrick Chambers and his men’s team began their 2014-15 campaign with a workmanlike 61-48 victory over Morgan State. Many of the names from the box score of the game are familiar to Nittany Lion fans: D.J. Newbill, Donovan Jack, Jordan Dickerson, Ross Travis, Brandon Taylor, Geno Pat Rothdeutsch Thorpe and John Johncovers sports for son. The Centre County But it was true Gazette. Email him freshman Shep Garat sports@ ner who made the bigcentrecounty gest splash on opening gazette.com night for the Lions. Garner started his first game for Penn State at point guard, and after a bit of a slow start he found his stride. He finished the game with 14 points and played a strong floor game as Penn State pulled away from MSU in the second half for the win. Newbill led the team in scoring with 17 points, with Thorpe adding 11 and Johnson six. “The kid earned the right to start,” Chambers said about Garner. “He gets it done on both ends of the floor. It shows as a team, a staff and a program our confidence in him to be able to make plays. I’ve watched him play since he was a young kid and he is fearless. I’m proud of the way he competed; we obviously needed his production tonight. “To be a freshman and to come out and

PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

play the way he did is great. The future’s bright for him. Penn State basketball is definitely changing for the good.” On Nov. 16, Penn State showed off its defense and balance in a 73-54 victory over Fordham. Penn State’s pressure forced the Rams into bad and hurried shots all night, while Newbill (18 points), Garner (12), Johnson (11) and Taylor (11) took care of the scoring. Penn State sealed the deal early with a 19-1 first-half run. “We don’t depend on me to score all the points,” Newbill said. “Everyone is working the offenses. Everyone is playing with confidence. It is not going to just be Brandon (Taylor) scoring or me scoring. We can get scoring from a number of guys. Our offense is so spread out this year, we have guys knocking down shots and creating driving lanes for each other. So I think that this is helping us out.” Next up for the Lions is a trip to the Charleston Classic in South Carolina beginning on Thursday, Nov. 20. If there are a bunch of familiar faces on the floor for the men’s team, the same can’t be said for Coquese Washington and her women’s team. Beside senior center Tori Waldner, everyone else on the starting team was there for the first time. That didn’t stop the Lady Lions from taking out Towson, 71-64, on Nov. 14 in the first round of the WNIT Preseason Tournament at the Bryce Jordan Center. The Lady Lions also introduced their own freshman point guard, Lindsay Spann, who made quite a splash in her first start as Lady Lion. Spann scored 17 points to lead a late PSU comeback that overtook Towson down the stretch for the victory. Sierra Moore (12), Waldner (11) and Kaliyah Mitchell (10) were also in double figures for PSU, which advanced to the second round of the tournament.

That second round game, against Albany on Nov. 16, was not as successful for the young Lady Lions. Down by a point in the final seconds, Penn State inbounded the ball to its biggestplayer, 6-foot-6 center Candice Agee, but Agee’s shot fell off the rim and PSU fell, 54-53. Spann again led the team in scoring with 14 points, followed by Jenny DeGraff’s 12 and Mitchell’s nine. Yet the inexperienced Lions faltered down the stretch, something that Washington said her team has to learn from. “It’s one game and it’s the first weekend of the season so we know we are going to get better,” Washington said. “They have to experience what it is like. For example, in this game, who was going to take the last shot? Nobody on this team has had that re-

sponsibility in their careers here. It’s been Maggie (Lucas), Alex (Bentley), Arielle (Edwards) in the past years. “All of these types of things are first time experiences for them and we just don’t have the amount of veteran leadership that would be nice to have at this point. When you have three or four people who know what they are doing in these types of situations, things are a little different. The majority of the team, their eyes are huge. So it’s disappointing because the competitor in us and the competitors in that locker room want to win every game. As coaches, we understand that these kinds of experiences will make us better.” Penn State will now move into the loser’s bracket of the tournament and are scheduled to play on Saturday, Nov. 22, at the BJC.

Penn State looks to keep winning streak alive By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Where to start? Bowl eligibility? Return of Miles Diffenbach, Donovan Smith and the running game? Four interceptions and freshmen ball hawks in the secondary? Another non-losing season under the sanctions? Best probably to go to the beginning: The Penn State defense forced five turnovers, including a pick6 by freshman Grant Haley, the Nittany Lions rushed for 254 yards and Penn State pulled away from Temple in the second half for a 30-13 victory. The win improved Penn State’s record to 6-4 for the season, making the team eligible for a bowl game the first time since 2011. On a day in which Christian Hackenberg and the Penn State passing game were not at their best, Akeel Lynch ran for 130 yards and a touchdown, and Bill Belton added 92 yards and another score as an invigorated Lion rushing game came to life against the Owls. Freshmen Christian Campbell and Haley both intercepted their first career passes, and the defense in general turned in another stellar effort against dual-threat quarterback P.J. Walker and the Temple offense. The win also assured Penn State of its third non-losing regular season since the sanctions were imposed after the 2011 season, something almost unthinkable when the bowl ban and scholarship reductions were announced by the NCAA. This was to be the season in which the full effects of the sanctions would be felt; many people thought that Penn State would be no better than an average FCS team. But the players who stayed, the recruits who since enrolled and the coaches who guided them would have none of that. Penn State has won 21 games since then, and those players will finally see some reward for their extraordinary efforts. What that reward is, exactly, will be determined after the final two games of the season, the first of which is at Illinois on Saturday, Nov. 22. The Illini are 4-6 this season overall and 1-5 in the Big Ten. Three of Illinois’ wins came in non-conference games against Youngstown State, Western Kentucky and Texas State. Since the Texas State game, the Illini have lost five of their last six outings, the lone exception being a rousing 28-24 homecoming victory over a very good Minnesota team on Oct. 25. In its last outing, Illinois lost at home to Iowa, 30-14, a game that Illini head coach Tim Beckham wants his players to quickly put behind them.

Inside:

STEVE TRESSLER/ Special to the Gazette

RUNNING BACK Akeel Lynch had a big afternoon against Temple, rushing for 130 yards on 18 carries. The Nittany Lions became bowl-eligible with a 30-13 victory. “We as a football team never got really in tune,” Beckham said after that game. “You look at it offensively. You look at it defensively. I think the only thing we probably won in was punt. “As I told this football team, we still have an opportunity to reach our goal and we have to step up. As soon as

they leave this locker room, the focus has to be on Penn State and the focus has to be on how we can become a better football team when Penn State comes here.” Teams this season have effectively run the ball against Illinois, and at the same time they’ve stopped Illinois from running. The Illini give up more than 250 yards each game rushing, but they run for just more than 104. That disparity showed up especially in the Iowa game. Iowa racked up 304 yards on the ground while it held Illinois to only 88 yards and no touchdowns. Add Iowa’s 283 passing yards for a total of 587, and it pretty much tells the story of a tough afternoon for the Illini. Junior running back Josh Ferguson is Illinois’ most dangerous threat. He leads the Illinois running attack with 119 carries this season for 581 yards and six touchdowns, but he is also an excellent receiver out of the backfield. Donovonn Young (257 yards), quarterback Reilly O’Toole (207) and Aaron Bailey (155) also have gained yardage for the Illini. O’Toole, a dual-threat, has been splitting the quarterbacking duties with Wes Lunt and started the three games prior to Iowa. O’Toole has played in all 10 games, completing 63 of 114 passes for 745 yards and five touchdowns. Lunt, who is more of a pure passer, has played in only six games, but he has 141 completions in 216 attempts for 1,671 yards and 14 TDs. Lunt averages 278 yards passing per game. Mike Dudek (51 catches for 787 yards) is the leading receiver, with Geronimo Allison (34 for 515), Ferguson (39 for 318), Justin Hardee (18 for 230) and Martize Barr (17 for 234) all contributing to the passing attack. Illinois averages 255 yards per game through the air. Defensively, linebacker Mason Monheim and defensive backs Zane Petty, Taylor Barton and Earnest Thomas lead the team in tackles, with Thomas also contributing five sacks. For the season, Illinois has a total of 17 sacks, four interceptions and eight fumble recoveries. The glaring statistic that jumps off the page is the 489 yards of offense the Illini give up per game, including 263 on the ground and 25 touchdowns. For Penn State, the emphasis will be to have more of the same — or better. The Nittany Lions’ offensive line, running game and punting have all improved over the last two weeks, and their aggressive defense forced a season-high five turnovers against Temple. There are many ways to look at Penn State’s newly-earned bowl eligibility. One way is that the pressure is now off of the PSU players and they will play with increased confidence and abandon. Another way is to fear a letdown against another team, away, that is statistically struggling, but nonetheless capable of playing good football. Kickoff is set for noon.

Lions earn good grades following win over Temple By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Like much of the Nittany Lions’ season, a 30-13 victory didn’t come with pretty and flawless football on Nov. 15, despite scoring the most points since knocking off UMass back in September. Penn State had to earn win No. 6 and, with it, bowl eligibility for the first time since 2011. Backed by a strong defensive performance, Penn State found a way to get the job done in front of a cold Beaver Stadium crowd. With two regular season games left on the schedule, Penn State can improve their bowl standing with a victory over Illinois and Michigan State in the final two weeks of the season. So, while the biggest goal of the year may have been achieved for the Nittany Lions, there is still a lot of football left to be played and a lot of grades still to be handed out.

OFFENSE: C

For as much as Penn State needs Christian Hackenberg to succeed, its final grade can’t simply be handed out on his efforts alone. The Nittany Lions ground game was frequently effective for the first time all year, with Akeel Lynch racking up 130 yards on 18 carries, including a 38-yard score. Bill Belton posted a 92-yard, 19-carry effort with a 37-yard run and a short score of his own. Penn State’s offensive line was solid and the Nittany Lions put points

on the board. Hackenberg’s two interceptions and a four-for-13 mark on third down don’t help matters any, but Penn State was still good enough in the second half to pull away from a poor Temple squad.

DEFENSE: A-

Penn State held Temple to 6 points in the first half and fewer than 100 total yards. For the game, the Nittany Lions allowed only 248 yards, with 75 coming on a single touchdown pass over the top by Temple. That long touchdown pass in a low-scoring game is the only negative for a Penn State defense that forced five turnovers and put the clamps down on Temple’s offense in the final quarter of play. Only one sack on the day and a few big plays were uncharacteristic of the Nittany Lion defense, but it’s hard to fault Penn State for allowing Temple to gain yards. Mike Hull led the way with 10 tackles and Austin Johnson and Anthony Zettel were both strong on the front. Christian Campbell picked up his first interception of the year in his first start of the season. Grant Haley’s pick6 was the icing on the cake for the defensive youth movement this weekend.

SPECIAL TEAMS: B+

Sam Ficken’s kick from 50 yards gave Penn State the lead heading into the half and gave the crowd a spark it needed. A blocked field

TIM WEIGHT/For the Gazette

goal hurts this grade, but otherwise it was a solid day for this unit. Punting was up and down, but a 38-yard average and a 49 long was a solid outing. Between Ficken’s three makes and solid punt protection, this grade is solid. But, special teams gets docked for the blocked field goal block — especially key in a game that was low-scoring affair for most of the afternoon.

Arts & Entertainment Valuable movies and valued movies may be different things By MATT SWAYNE Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Action movies may drive box office revenues, but dramas and deeper, more serious movies earn audience acclaim and appreciation, according to a team of researchers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people think that entertainment is just a silly diversion, but our research shows that entertainment is profoundly meaningful and moving for many people,â&#x20AC;? said Mary Beth Oliver, distinguished professor in media studies and co-director of the Media Effects Research Laboratory at Penn State. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just types of entertainment that we usually think of as meaningful, such as poetry and dance, either, but also movies, television shows, video games â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or YouTube videos.â&#x20AC;? The researchers examined the critical and financial success of 582 films released during the past 30 years. To study the financial success of the movies, they used U.S. domestic gross box-office revenues. Critical acclaim was measured through awards and award nominations, along with online ratings from Internet sites, to determine how regular viewers and non-critics responded to the films. In addition to examining the genre, the researchers also recorded the way people described how silly, dark, thoughtful or emotional the movies were on websites such as Internet Movie Database. Oliver said that action and adventure films tend to sell more tickets and have a better chance of being blockbusters, but they are less likely to earn popular or critical acclaim.GET On theUP otherTO hand, movies that are more emotional and contain darker portrayals earn thumbs-up from critics and favorable ratings from viewers.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we see is that movies that encourage you to think may be seen as more moving and emotional, even if they tackle troubling issues or darker aspects of life,â&#x20AC;? said Oliver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You may not necessarily enjoy the movie, but you might deeply appreciate it.â&#x20AC;? The study points to the idea that entertainment can be more important than a simple diversion, providing audiences with ways to grapple with important and meaningful questions such as the purpose of life, according to the researchers, who report their findings in the online version of Mass Communication and Society. Oliver said there are several possibilities to explain why highly acclaimed movies, though deeply appreciated, do not fare as well as action flicks at the box office. Moviegoers may be less likely to see serious movies multiple times, for example. Thrillers and comedies may be more enjoyable with larger groups of people in bigger theaters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The difference between viewership and acclaim may be due to how people watch movies in theaters,â&#x20AC;? Oliver said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Movies that are more fun to watch with a large group of people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like an action movie â&#x20AC;&#x201D; may be popular in that venue, but more serious movies might be more enjoyable when they are watched in smaller, more private settings.â&#x20AC;? However, that does not mean that audiences do not enjoy serious movies. Rather, they appreciate them on another level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They may not watch these movies over and over, but more serious films may be more valuable, in a sense, and also will be memorable to audiences,â&#x20AC;? Oliver said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They may stick with them for a longer time.â&#x20AC;? The researchers examined Academy Award and Golden Globe Award winners and nominees released between 1980 and 2010.

While the researchers used the sites to compare the reactions of common movie fans to those of critics, they found that both groups generally agreed on the merit of films. Oliver worked with former PSU doctoral students Erin Ash, assistant professor of communications studies, Clemson University; Julia K. Woolley, assistant professor of communication studies, Cal Poly; and Drew Shade, assistant professor of English and communication, University of Cincinnati Blue Ash College; and current Penn State doctoral candidate in mass communications Keunyeong Kim.

John Sanchez, associate professor for news media ethics at Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College of Communications, has organized the annual powwow since its inception 11 years ago. Sanchez, an Apache American Indian, hopes viewers see Americans Indians as they would anyone else. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My hope is that people get a better understanding of who we are as a people,â&#x20AC;? said Sanchez. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lawyers, professors, nurses and bricklayers, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing our best to hold onto our culture.â&#x20AC;? During the most recent powwow, which was held at State College Area School Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mount Nittany Middle School, more than 6,500 people, including approximately 150 dancers representing 20 different American Indian reservations around the United States and Canada, attended the two-day event. The traditional powwow, which teaches honor and respect for the languages, cultures and traditions of the participants, convened for the last time this spring. Although the powwow will not continue, its impact will live in perpetuity as a trustee scholarship was created through Penn State to honor the event.

Local Rotarian invited to Chicago for summit By HARRY ZIMBLER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

CHICAGO — The future of Rotary International was the central focus of the recent “Young Professional Summit” held in Chicago at the worldwide headquarters for the service organization. While hundreds of young members from throughout the world applied to attend this important event, only 30 were selected for the threeday meeting. Among the group chosen was Jason Browne, a member of the Rotary Club of State College Downtown. He was the only Pennsylvania Rotarian to be selected for the event. “It was a great honor,” said Browne. “In order to be chosen for the summit, you

had to be active in your club, energetic, engaged and able to think outside of the box. Needless to say, I am passionate about Rotary.” Each applicant was required to create a short video. Browne’s was an entertaining sales JASON BROWNE pitch that convinced judges he was worthy of being invited to the event. “Rotary is exploring ways to rethink the way its members serve their communities,” said Browne, an information technology specialist at Penn State. “It was a

very collaborative series of meetings. We started out at a ranch. A very colorful place. It was truly a playground for ideas.” The participants were encouraged to get involved in a variety of activities and ice-breaking games. “The best part was the simple personal conversations we had,” said Browne. “It was facilitated by two women who used improvisational acting techniques to encourage dialogue.” The fact that membership in Rotary is getting older and smaller — true of most service organizations in the United States — the question posed was “Can this trend be redirected? Can young Rotarians be found to expand the organization?” “We asked ourselves, ‘How can Rotary become a “yes” organization?’ How can we get the clubs to embrace a new culture and go with the flow? We came to the conclu-

sion that Rotary can truly become something amazing,” Browne said. “There was a wonderful woman artist who captured all of our ideas on a board. I hope that my club can use what I learned at the summit. There were many wonderful ideas for the future growth of Rotary. “We need a strategic plan. We need to ask ourselves, ‘What is our purpose? Why do we exist? Why join Rotary?’ We need to build and strengthen our communities. In short, we need to question the very nature and meaning of Rotary. What do we really want to accomplish?” Browne noted that everyone at the meeting agreed that Rotary needs to eliminate the idea that “we don’t do it that way.” He left the meeting feeling excited about ways to build for the future.

Penn State prof addresses entrepreneurs from Malta UNIVERSITY PARK — Entrepreneurship and innovation are always relevant and dynamic topics, and during Global Entrepreneurship Week, it was a treat to hear from Steven McMillan, checking in from his temporary home at the University of Malta. McMillan, associate professor of business at Penn State Abington, will be in there until March as a Fulbright Scholar. He discussed business strategy and entrepreneurship in an interview this week with www.insiteronline.com, the studentrun media organization at the University of Malta. According to ERAWATCH, Malta ranks 21st out of 27 European Union countries in terms of research and development inten-

IT’S

sity. But while the country needs to make strides, McMillan says it has improved its output. “Since Malta joined the European Union 10 years ago, the University of Malta has quadrupled its output of scientific papers,” he said. For individuals, he advised would-be business owners to learn to control capital. “Take a financial management class,” he said. “There are a lot of start-ups with good ideas that fail because they burn through their capital too quickly.” McMillan also challenged the assumption that finding your passion and developing the next great high-tech innovation are keys to success.
