State High project approved by landslide Voter turnout low on Tuesday

By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — State College voters made state history during Tuesday’s election, passing Pennsylvania’s second public referendum to fund a building project for an expansive renovation of the State College Area High School. Though the referendum only needed a majority of 50 percent and one voter to pass, the State High project passed by a wide margin with more than 73 percent of the vote, according to unofficial results on the Centre County Government website. School board members said in a press release that this victory comes after “years of planning, hundreds of public and private presentations, thousands of conversations, and months of door knocking.” Additional design work on the buildings will begin immediately, while ground breaking is anticipated within a year and completion is expected by 2018, according to the release. State College Area School District spokeswoman Julie Miller said that this project can be traced back to 2009, following a previous failed attempt to renovate the high school. The lengthy process involved numerous consultations and public meetings, in which members of the community choose the current plan from a list of six options. The plan aims to fix some major mechanical and structural issues present in the school’s two buildings, including an outdated and faulty electrical system, a inefficient heating system and the north building’s frequent flooding.

TO THE POLLS: State College resident Lauren Muthler prepares to cast her vote at the State College Municipal Building. Checking her in is volunteer Julie Mital. Miller said that the plan involves moving all core academic programs to the south building, which will reduce the safety concerns of students frequently crossing Westerly Parkway. The south building will feature some renovation and the addition of an entirely new wing to house “learning communities” that will give students the opportunity to engage more deeply with fields of study that interest them. The north building will be renovated and house the district’s Delta program, gym and natatorium, and will also contain a kitchen to be used

as cooking station for various schools around the district, school board member and Penn State professor Jim Pawelczyk said. The school board capped the cost of the project at $115 million with $30 million dollars already set aside by the school district, Miller said. The remaining cost of the project will be funded by a new item of the district’s property tax, which will come to about $190 a year for a homeowner with an assessed value of $250,000.

PLEASANT GAP — Not even a controversial referendum in the State College Area School District spurred voters to cast ballots on Election Day. Across the county, voter turnout was light. According to election officials, a mere 21.77 percent of registered voters went to the polls in Centre County. In State College, the numbers were even lower. Only 21.33 percent of registered voters had their say on Tuesday. At The Oaks in Pleasant Gap, there were no lines as voters entered the polls. According to Joan Andrews, the judge of elections for Spring Township’s 87th precinct, the turnout was as light as she could ever remember. “It’s very light,” Andrews said. “It usually depends on the election and who’s on the ballot. But this is a very light turnout.” Andrews attributed the low turnout to the fact that the Republican ticket was pretty thin. Voter, Page 5

Bellefonte to rise with new developments By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — Bellefonte is rising from ashes. In December 2009, shortly before Christmas, Bellefonte’s Cadillac Building — a handsome, three-story brick building and prominent site in the town’s business district — was nearly destroyed when a Christmas tree in one of the upstairs apartments caught fire. “The whole interior of the building was severely damaged,” Bellefonte Borough manager Ralph Stewart said. “The only thing left standing was the shell of the building.” Stewart said that for several years the building existed “in limbo” as various parties expressed interest in purchasing the property before passing, with the Centre County government finding it to be “structurally sound, but cost prohibitive” to rebuild. The former Cadillac dealership wasn’t the only one of Bellefonte’s classic buildings to be affected by fire. A mere three years later, the Hotel Do De and Garman Theatre — both classic works of Victorian brick and windows — were victims of another blaze, leaving their futures uncertain and their facades blackened and burned. And these fires came only after yet another 2006 blaze razed the 19th-century Bush House Hotel to the ground, leaving the prominent waterfront property a vacant lot.

LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE: Bellefonte’s Cadillac Building was nearly destroyed by fire in December 2009. There are plans in the works for the vacant brick building.

These losses came during a period when many municipalities were facing financial difficulties and fighting to stay relevant. “A lot of downtowns and older communities are struggling to stay revitalized.

stores,” Stewart said. “A lot of the growth has been with them, and not in your downtowns. People have sprawled out and the downtowns have suffered.” Frank Haldeman, Bellefonte Borough Council president, said that these difficulties are compounded by the borough’s small size of only about two square miles, which leaves little room for new development or an expanding tax base. But Bellefonte, despite these difficulties, is looking forward, envisioning a bright future for the county seat. A number of developments are underway to revitalize the downtown area and attract new commercial enterprises to the borough, Stewart said. These include a reinvestment in the borough’s scenic waterfront area, a workforce housing development project and an attempt to have Bellefonte designated as a Keystone Community by the state. Keystone Community development coordinator Vana Danity said that the process of applying to be designated a Pennsylvania Keystone Community is a “rather involved” process the borough has been interested in pursuing for the past several years. Keystone Communities are designated by the state with a focus on improving the commercial or residential Bellefonte, Page 6 What’s Happening ..... 33, 34 Group Meetings .............. 35

Maryland man sentenced for attacks on two women StateCollege.com BELLEFONTE — A Maryland man has been sent to prison for two separate attacks on young women in State College. Claudius Taylor, 19, was sentenced to three years and two months to 13 years behind bars. He was convicted on several charges including indecent assault, robbery and unlawful restraint. The attacks happened within minutes of each other in the early morning hours of Oct. 13, 2013. The first attack happened in the 500 block of East Foster Avenue. Prosecutors say Taylor pushed a woman into some bushes and got on top of her. She began screaming and hit him on the head with a bucket. Before fleeing, Taylor wrestled a cellphone away from the woman. A few minutes later, Taylor accosted a second woman, this time in Fairmount Park.

He repeatedly hit the woman in the face and threw her on the ground. She began screaming and Taylor took off. Police were already nearby, investigating the first assault. Taylor was spotted soon after, triggering a brief chase. A passerby saw what was happening

and tackled Taylor. According to prosecutors, Taylor told a nonsensical story during his trial, claiming he was the actual victim. The judge reportedly told Taylor his story was “psychotic.” Prosecutors say they asked for an aggravated sentence because of the predatory nature of the crimes and the clear sexual nature of the attacks and the judge agreed.

State lawmakers ready to revisit police radar issue By JENNIFER MILLER

The Pennsylvania State Police supports the proposed change. House Bill 38 would allow trained, full-time police officers with 24-hour police departments to use radar. The bill requires half of any revenue generated by speeding tickets go into a fund for enforcement grants to accredited police departments. The Senate has similar legislation that would alter the law.

StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — The state House Transportation Committee is set to revisit the issue of police radar, a law enforcement speed detection tool that has been the subject of debate for years in Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, State College Police Chief Thomas King says lawmakers’ plans indicate change may be in the horizon. For decades, law enforcement and other groups have unsuccessfully urged state lawmakers to allow local police officers to use radar for speed enforcement — and now the Transportation Committee is slated to review the matter today at the Shawnee Inn Resort near East Stroudsburg, Monroe County. Pennsylvania is the only state in the country that does not allow municipal police officers to use radar. Currently, state law only allows Pennsylvania State Police to utilize the tool. State troopers have been using it since 1962. Still, every attempt by municipal law enforcement and other groups to amend the state’s law has failed. Today’s hearing is expected to be the first in a series of hearings regarding radar. During the first hearing, the committee will review the effectiveness of radar as a speed detection device for local police, which will include a radar demonstration by state police. King, who is also president of the Pennsylvania Police Chiefs Association, said he is optimistic lawmakers may alter the law given the committee has scheduled multiple hearings about radar during the busy budget season, which sends the message lawmakers are taking the matter seriously. Additionally, King says there seems to be a more broadbased interest in the matter this year, beyond law enforcement, which could mean lawmakers are likely to adjust the law. “Maybe they realize this is a tool that we do really need to give to law enforcement to make our roads safer,” King said. King also believes recent data showing more deaths occur on roadways patrolled by local police than highways patrolled by state police may be the reason lawmakers are taking another look at the law. Pennsylvania ranks third in the number of speed-related fatal crashes after Texas and California, according to 2011 figures compiled by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That year, there were 1,286 fatalities in Pennsylvania of which nearly half — or 615 — were speed-related. Additionally, 87 percent — or 534 — of speed-related

PENNSYLVANIA IS THE only state in the country that does not allow municipal police forces to use radar. fatalities happened on roads monitored by local police departments. King believes if local police were able to use radar, the result would be an increase in speed enforcement, which would deter drivers from speeding and ultimately reduce the number of fatal crashes on local roads. “We have to certainly arm our officers with the most effective tool to reduce the number of people being killed,” King said. Currently, State College police use ENRADD, or an electronic non-radar device, to monitor speeding, which King says is just as accurate as radar. However, it’s more labor intensive to execute and includes a time-consuming setup. When local police want to participate in a speed enforcement detail they need at least two officers — one to operate the equipment and a second to perform a traffic stop on the speeding driver. A radar gun is essentially a point-and-shoot tool that only requires one officer. The Pennsylvania Police Chiefs Association, Pennsylvania State Mayors Association and other groups say they want the state law to be altered by four words. The current law states: Electronic devices such as radio-microwave devices (commonly referred to as electronic speed meters or radar) may be used only by members of the Pennsylvania State Police. Proponents would like the law amended to say: Electronic devices such as radio-microwave devices (commonly referred to as electronic speed meters or radar) may be used by any police officer.

Judge weighs subpoena issue in Paterno lawsuit By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

BELLEFONTE — In the second part of a two-part hearing for the Paterno family lawsuit against the NCAA and Penn State, attorneys made arguments in court Monday regarding the Paterno family’s desire to issue a subpoena allowing them access to roughly 3.5 million documents related to the Louis Freeh investigation into the Sandusky scandal. Discussion in the second part of the hearing started at about 12:15 p.m. at the Centre County Courthouse before Potter County Judge John Leete, who is specially presiding over the case. The disputed subpoena request asks for a slew of documents from the Freeh investigation regarding how Penn State handled the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse scandal and how the NCAA reached the decision to issue unprecedented sanctions against the university. Penn State objects to the proposed subpoena, saying in part the request for such documents and other information, including phone records and emails, violates attorney-client privilege and attorney work privilege. Plaintiffs’ attorney L. Joseph Loveland said Penn State does not have a credible argument and that the university agreed to a waiver for the Freeh investigation, which means the documents should be made available. “We want that database. ... (Freeh) has looked at it and we’re willing to look at it as well, and we think we’re entitled to that,” said Loveland. “We’d like to see what the documents actually say. We’d like to know what the facts are. And we don’t know why people are saying keep a complete curtain on it. ... Let’s get on with it.” At the same time, Penn State attorney Donna Doblick said while the university agreed to a waiver for the Freeh Report, it was not a blanket waiver that would include protected items, such as notes an attorney wrote while interviewing a Sandusky victim.

Doblick also said Loveland’s allegation that Penn State is keeping a curtain over documents “is abjectly not the case.” Additionally, Doblick said the millions of targeted documents include unrelated items related to issues such as real estate and student discipline and therefore the database should not be released “wholesale.” The pending subpoena targets the Pepper Hamilton law firm, the successor to Freeh’s original law firm. However, Penn State attorney Donna Doblick said Penn State has custody of the database and is willing to run key word terms in the system to identify documents the plaintiffs want to review. Loveland said he will submit key terms to Penn State to search in the Freeh database. At the same time, the court is expected to determine more specifically what documents should be released. In a related discussion about discovery, Paterno family attorney Patricia Maher accused Penn State and the NCAA of delaying the process by failing to release documents that the plaintiffs believe clearly should be turned over. “At the end of the day, the NCAA told us regardless of how we narrow the request ... that ultimately they were going to wait until there was an order from this court ... so that left us with no choice but to come to the court and say that we do need an order,” said Maher. “Our effort has been to get discovery going in a meaningful way ... and we feel we have been stonewalled.” At the same time, Penn State and the NCAA say they are willing to turn over relevant documents if the request was more concise and if the court issued a protective order mandating the documents only be used for litigation purposes. NCAA attorney Brian Kowalksi said the plaintiffs’ unwillingness to agree to such an order creates a concern. “We didn’t expect that to be much of a dispute ... we thought that would be a fairly easy thing to agree to,” Kowalksi said. Kowalksi also said documents should not be released “for the purposes of a PR

campaign.” Additionally, Kowalksi said the NCAA is not stonewalling the plaintiffs and has turned over more than 4,000 documents. Maher said the documents were all documents already in the public domain. The Paterno family is seeking the subpoena as part of a lawsuit against the NCAA and Penn State. In the suit, the family asks for monetary damages related to the sanctions the NCAA leveled against Penn State’s football program following the arrest of former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky, who is now a convicted pedophile. Sandusky was ultimately convicted on 45 counts of child sex abuse. He is serving a 30- to 60-year sentence in state prison. Discussion during the first portion of Monday’s hearing was concentrated on the consent decree Penn State agreed to with the NCAA following the news of the child sexual abuse scandal. NCAA attorney Everett Johnson Jr. argued that the plaintiffs’ claims the NCAA held a “gun to the head” of Penn State forcing the university to agree to the unprecedented sanctions is false and that Penn State simply had a choice between two undesirable options — sign the consent decree with provisions like a ban on bowl games or see the entire football program suspended. “At the end of the day, it’s just a game on a Saturday,” said Johnson. Plaintiffs’ attorney L. Joseph Loveland later responded, “It’s not just a football game on a Saturday morning.” Penn State attorney Daniel Booker also said it appears plaintiffs are dismissive of the university’s position in the case and that there is a perception the NCAA is so powerful therefore the claims of Penn State are not taken seriously. “The view the university’s position should be ignored really flies in the face of what is now really two years of complying

Booker acknowledged the consent decree was “harsh,” but at the same time “it did resolve serious threatened litigation.” Penn State hired Freeh, former FBI director, to investigate the scandal. After the Freeh Report — which found significant wrongdoing on the part of the university — was issued, the NCAA leveled unprecedented sanctions against Penn State’s football program. The sanctions included a reduction in football scholarships, a ban on bowl appearances, and the vacating of 111 wins under Paterno.

Man cleared of assault charges By STEVE BAUER StateCollege.com

BELLEFONTE — A State College man, accused of attacking another man with a hammer, has been found not guilty. Dustin Emel, 20, was arrested last November. Police said Emel hit his girlfriend’s exboyfriend with a hammer, according to court documents. However, on Thursday, a Centre Coun-

LET’S RIDE REV UP YOUR SPRING

ty jury cleared Emel on several charges including aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another person. The alleged attack happened on Nov. 24, 2013, on Stratford Drive. According to police, the victim was getting out of his car when another man wearing a black ski mask and black sweater hit him in the head. Court documents say the victim sustained a 3-inch cut on his head as a result of the attack.

State High, from page 1 Friends of State High co-director Betsy Whitman said her organization came together to advocate in the community on behalf of the project. The passing of the referendum represents the success of months of work, including canvassing, going door to door, analyzing past election data and distributing lawn signs, she said. “The most gratifying thing to is not so much the outcome — though it is beautiful — but it’s the feeling that I was providing a service for people who wanted to make a difference in the outcome of this referendum,” Whitman said. “I was giving people a voice to promote and educate, not only from the facts but also from a very personal level.” Friends of State High member Mark Higgins spent part of his day at the polls Tuesday, talking to voters at the State College Chinese Alliance Church about the State High project and explaining details of the plan. “I’ve been very involved with educational issues because I care about my kids,” Higgins said. “It’s mind boggling to think that people have put up with this for decades.” Whitman said they had estimated the

referendum would pass by a much more conservative 53 percent. The most common sources of opposition Friends of State High encountered were financial concerns about the tax increase and the idea that “teachers, not buildings, make great schools,” which Whitman said was true but ignored the depth of the school’s structural and mechanical issues. State College resident Jonathan Pitt preferred not to share his vote, but called the State High project an issue that will impact everyone in the school district for decades. “The issues here are not congruent,” Pitt said. “We talk about having affordable housing, and then we want to raise our taxes 7.2 percent.” Fellow resident Regis Kingera said that, even given the concern over the tax increase, it “doesn’t make sense not to provide good conditions” for State College students. “People talk about taxes being a burden on our children, but they don’t want to take care of our children now,” Kingera said. “(Our students) are our most important resource.” State College superintendent Bob O’Donnell and school board president Penni Fishbaine could not be reached for comment by press time Wednesday.

Voter, from page 1 “The Republicans have virtually no one to vote for. That’s going to make it low. I’m not sure we’ll hit 100 voters. That’s my thought,” Andrews said. When the polls opened at 7 a.m., there were several voters eager to cast their ballots. “There are regulars who will come. They’re constant. But this is a big Republican precinct. We normally get more Republicans than Democrats, but I’m not so sure that will happen today,” Andrews said. One of the regulars was Bea Myers, a resident at The Oaks. Myers said that she always enjoys getting to the polls. “I think it’s really important. It’s something I look forward to,” Myers said. Although she’s a registered Republican, she said she feels like it’s her civic duty to get to the polls. “It really is,” she said. Myers said that she likes the convenience of having the polling place inside the building where she resides.

MARK HIGGINS, a State College resident, parent and member of advocacy organization Friends of State High, explains plans for the future of the State College Area High School to voters outside the State College Chinese Alliance Church on Tuesday.

“It’s very nice. I like it, but that didn’t happen when we moved here 13 years ago. They took us to another place to vote because the apartments were just going up,” Myers explained. Meanwhile, in State College, voter turnout varied during Tuesday’s primary election, depending on factors including the population and political party demographics of each voting precinct. Marilyn Eastridge, Tuesday’s election judge at the State College Municipal Building, said that State College’s second east central precinct has a large student population that boosts voter turnout for elections during the school year. Having seen only 16 voters by 10:45 a.m., Eastridge said she hoped the State High referendum would draw in additional voters, but wasn’t “sure that they’re coming.” State College’s second east central district, populated mostly by State College residents, had seen 99 voters shortly after noon, which Election Judge Jeff Kern said put the State College Chinese Alliance Church polling place on track to reach more than 200 voters.

Man sentenced to jail for attack By StateCollege.com BELLEFONTE — A judge has sentenced a State College man to 60 days to 23½ months in county jail for a domestic assault. Centre County Common Pleas Judge Pamela Ruest sentenced 36-year-old Darryl C. Noye to Centre County Correction Facility after a jury convicted him in January. The sentence also includes two years of probation. A jury found Noye guilty of simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and false imprisonment. The jury found Noye innocent of several other charges, including aggravated assault. According to prosecutors, Noye attacked the female victim at his home in College Township on March 20, 2013. Authorities say the woman was able to briefly escape, but Noye forced her back inside, dragged her through the house, and then pinned her down in the bedroom. He covered the woman’s nose and mouth while suffocating her for more than two minutes. During the attack, authorities say Noye told the victim that he “could do this all night” with a calm, collected look on his face. T he victim says she kicked Noye in the groin to stop the attack and that she feared for her life. The victim waited until Noye left for work the following

day and then contacted the State College Police Department. “Domestic violence impacts the entire community. Holding offenders accountable along with imposition of court-ordered treatment is an important step in trying to improve victim safety and reduce partner violence in Centre County,” District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller said in a prepared statement.

“That’s pretty normal for a primary,” Kern said. “People generally don’t come out for primaries. Party-oriented people come out, but many less-party-faithful voters wait for the general elections.” Eastridge said that this primary election is an important one for Democrats, given the choice of candidates for governor and lieutenant governor. “For Republicans, there’s no choice on the ballot,” Eastridge said, but added that her precinct is mostly Democratic. State College resident Jonathan Pitt said he votes in every election, but said that non-presidential primaries tend to receive less attention than other elections. “It’s my duty to vote,” said fellow resident Regis Kingera. “When you blame the government, you blame yourself, because we are the government. If you don’t participate, then you’re at fault for what’s happening.” The Gazette’s Michael Martin Garrett contributed to this report.

homes,” Kervandijan said. “We decided to do something about it and planned on the Bellefonte Mews.” The project is a 32-unit affordable housing development that will be housed in two buildings: a restored Cadillac Building with 11 apartments called the “Cadillac House” and a new building on the site of the former Garman Theatre and Hotel Do De with 21 apartments named the “Garman House,” Kervandijan said. Kervandijan identified providing affordable housing for Centre County families and benefiting Bellefonte through an improved streetscape as the project’s two main goals. Stewart said that, prior to the purchase of the three properties for the Mews project, the futures of these buildings were uncertain and cost-prohibitive to repair. “We (the Bellefonte Borough) were supportive of the project, hoping it would bring life back to these three properties in the heart of our downtown,” Stewart said. “People say what about the loss of the Do De and Garman? None of us wanted to see those buildings demolished, but the money just wasn’t there to rebuild them as they were.” During the early stages of the Bellefonte Mews, the Garman Theatre was the subject of a public movement to save it from demolition in the interest of historic preservation spearheaded largely by the Bellefonte Historical and Cultural Association and raising almost $250,000 in five weeks. “There are a lot of reasons for the attention it grabbed,” BHCA board member Patrick North said. “In a town full of historic architecture, this was an incredibly significant and visible building. There were many people who were invested in maintaining this property for the community.” Halderman said that the borough initially hoped the owner of the property would fix the theater, but after it became clear that the owner didn’t have the means to repair the property, the Bellefonte Industrial Development Authority began to go through the process to acquire it. “We saw an opportunity when Mr. Kervandijan was willing to repair these buildings and provide workforce housing,” Halderman said. “There’s a need for that. If we can put people downtown, it will help our

aspects of a town through increased access to grant money for various improvement projects, Danity said. Bellefonte had previously attempted to become a Keystone Community, but the process stalled when the borough didn’t have the funds to create Danity’s development coordinator position, which she said is vital to the application process. Now, with renewed interest and increased vigor, Bellefonte is in the middle of creating the five necessary committees needed to further their application process, while Danity “sells the borough on the assets and things it has to offer,” including its focus on historic preservation and its importance as the Centre County seat. Stewart said the Keystone designation is primarily concerned with the potential of a community, and opens up doors to fund projects like improved sidewalks and streetlights, borough marketing and building facade improvements. “The work to revitalize Bellefonte isn’t a new initiative,” Bellefonte Intervalley Area Chamber of Commerce executive director Gary Hoover said. “The local community always tries to take advantage of new opportunities that are available.” Hoover said that the Keystone designation is one of the latest of these opportunities and that, though the designation itself doesn’t necessarily have money attached to it, “getting the designation would benefit local businesses.” “Any town you come to is interested in increasing commercial activities and bringing in new business and entrepreneurs,” Hoover said. “Bellefonte is a great place to set up and do business, and any business in town that you’ll talk to will say they’re happy to be there.” Ara Kervandijan, a managing member of State College-based real estate development company Progress Development Group, said via email that the idea for an ongoing workforce housing project called the “Bellefonte Mews” originated shortly after the fire that damaged the Hotel Do De and Garman Theatre. “Both buildings abruptly displaced many families who suddenly lost their

THIS VACANT LOT was the former site of the historic Bush House. The land borders the downtown business district of the borough of Bellefonte and Talleyrand Park. The Bush House was lost in a devastating fire on Feb. 8, 2006. downtown businesses.” North said the BHCA did not oppose the development of the Garman out of opposition to the goal of providing workforce housing and instead criticized the acquisition and sale process of the property, which he characterized as lacking transparency. The BHCA is taking the case over the Garman Theatre’s sale and demolition to the state supreme court in the hopes of creating a new precedent for historic preservation in the state and preventing future instances of what North called an abuse the borough’s authority. Kervandijan declined comment on the case and said it was inappropriate to discuss legal matters involving the PDG. Kervandijan said that the historic nature of the Garman, Do De and Cadillac buildings were considered in the plan, and that PDG will work closely with Bellefonte’s Historic Architectural Review Board to ensure the Bellefonte Mews buildings follow in the historic nature of their predecessors. Councilwoman Karen Harvey expressed her regret that the Garman and Do De properties had to be demolished, but said that she hopes the borough will be able to install sprinkler systems in Bellefonte’s older buildings with grant money from the Keystone Community designation to prevent similar situations in the future. “Economic development and historic preservation are tied together in a way,” Harvey said. Kervandijan said that construction might begin on the Bellefonte Mews as early as the beginning of 2015. Stewart said that a prominent stream runs north to south through the borough, dividing the commercial district from the waterfront business district and former industrial park. With the 2006 loss of the Bush House Hotel, which “stood at the heart of the community for years,” Stewart said that the borough began considering redevelopment of the waterfront area.

“We felt we had to do something,” Stewart said. “Instead of having a beautiful hotel, we now had a vacant lot.” He said that the borough realized the potential of the waterfront area and decided to pursue new development to revitalize the area, purchasing the former Bush House lot and an adjacent warehouse and former trucking garage after the 2006 fire. Stewart said that many residents wanted to see another hotel in this new development, and that a study of the area showed a boutique hotel would be sustainable. There are also tentative plans to include other mixed-use commercial and residential buildings on these parcels of land, but a developer won’t be brought on board until after a flooding issue is addressed. “This was an area that routinely flooded during more severe storms we had over the years,” Stewart said. “We had to address the flooding issues … You have to change the floodplain, raise some land while lowering other parts, and change the floodplain maps accordingly. That’s what we’ve been working on for three of four years now.” The Bellefonte Industrial Development Authority has been working on the floodplain issue and is “probably less than a month away from submitting our application package for floodplain change to Department of Environmental Protection,” Stewart said. “We’ve been meeting with developers off and on, and we’re very enthusiastic about the project,” he said. “We’re possibly going to be able to start moving dirt before the end of the year.” Stewart said the goal of all these projects is ultimately the same: to help ensure a vibrant future for Bellefonte’s businesses and residents. “The downtown is like your heart, and if your heart is in good shape, then likely the rest of you is too,” Stewart said. “You’ve got to keep your heart in good condition, and that’s what we’re trying to do.”

Staying neutral on the Internet By The Los Angeles Times

Chairman Tom Wheeler of the Federal Communications Commission said all the right things about Net neutrality on May 15 as the agency voted to release draft rules for preserving the open Internet. Nevertheless, real questions remain about whether the proposal he’s championed is the right way to protect the Internet’s reach, connectivity and innovative spirit. Perhaps that’s why the commission provided an unusually long time for the public to comment on Wheeler’s proposal and possible alternatives. It’s a reminder that, despite the near-hysteria drummed up by some Net neutrality advocates, we’re still at the start of the rule-making process, not the end. At issue is whether and how the government should try to stop certain Internet service providers —companies such as AT&T, Verizon and Time-Warner Cable that connect individual users to the Net — from favoring some sites and services over others. The fear is that ISPs would sell high-priority delivery to deep-pocketed companies, enabling their content to look and perform better at the expense of everyone else’s. Although the FCC has been saying for a decade that broadband access service should be free from such interference, the courts have twice rejected its rules and enforcement efforts. There are no neutrality rules in force today, just antitrust and consumer protection laws to deter ISPs from tilting the online playing field. Wheeler has proposed taking a case-by-case approach that would forbid ISPs from striking “commercially unreasonable” deals with sites and services that want to pay for premium access to Internet users. Critics on the left say his approach would lead to a “two-tiered” Internet with fast lanes for big companies and slow lanes for start-ups and innovators, while those on the right say it’s a solution in search of a problem. The proposal is moving ahead in part because of language Wheeler added to clarify the sorts of deals ISPs would be barred from making, providing more assurance that consumers and content providers wouldn’t face slowdowns, and giving more weight to a stringent regulatory alternative favored by many neutrality advocates. Before last week, Wheeler emphatically declared his opposition to a two-tiered Internet. “There is one Internet. It must be fast, it must be robust, and it must be open,” he said, adding, “The prospect of a gatekeeper choosing winners and losers on the Internet is unacceptable.” He’s right about all that, yet good intentions don’t count for much. The commission needs to show that whatever rules it adopts will actually promote innovation and investment, set clear guidelines for ISPs that won’t shift with the political winds and have a solid basis in law. Wheeler’s statements raise the hope that the new rules will meet those tests. But the scrutiny is just starting.

Should U.S. rescue kidnapped girls? Most Americans probably hadn’t heard of Boko Haram until recently, when the group kidnapped 270 Nigerian schoolgirls and threatened to sell them into slavery. Nigerians responded with a social media campaign, which drew support from celebrities and even first lady Michelle Obama. The demand: #bringbackourgirls. President Obama has committed U.S. drones and reconnaissance to the search for the girls. But Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., says the president should send special forces to rescue the girls — with or without Nigerian officials’ permission — because their abduction amounts to “crimes against humanity” under the United Nations’ charter. Will anything short of American force deliver save those kidnapped girls? Should Boko Haram be the next target in the flagging U.S. war against terrorism? Ben Boychuk and Joel Mathis, the Red-Blue America columnists, weigh in.

BEN BOYCHUK

Just a few years ago, recall, President Obama was saying “al-Qaida is on the run” and that the terrorist umbrella organization was “on the path to defeat” in Iraq and Afghanistan. He noted emerging threats in Africa and the Arabian peninsula, however. Turns out, alQaida is doing just fine. Boko Haram — whose name translates, more or less, to “Western education for girls is forbidden” — is Ben Boychuk, an al-Qaida satbboychuk@cityellite. This group journal.org, is associate editor of that few AmeriCity Journal. cans knew about until recently has been terrorizing Nigerians in general, and Christians in particular, for several years. The group is well-funded and

BEN BOYCHUK

well-organized. The Nigerian government’s effort to suppress it has largely failed. U.S. law prevents the president from providing direct military aid to Nigeria, because government forces are almost as bad as Boko Haram. Instead, we’re flying drones and aircraft over an area “roughly the size of New England,” looking for nearly 300 girls who deserve better than what they’re getting right now. Sen. McCain’s recommendation isn’t serious. It’s cheap posturing. U.S. special operators are the finest in the world, but they aren’t magicians. He knows as well as anyone that we don’t simply drop a four or six SEALs into the wilderness and expect them to emerge in a few weeks, mission accomplished. The War on Terrorism has stretched our special forces to their limit. Hundreds of our top warriors have been killed or wounded around the world. Their operations rely on extensive logistical support and communications. We wouldn’t simply be putting a few “boots on the ground” in Nigeria. It would be hundreds, perhaps thousands. And for what? Americans’ hearts break at the thought of those girls, snatched at gunpoint from their classrooms, being held captive by thugs beholden to a medieval ideology. But emotional appeals cannot be the basis of U.S. foreign policy. And half-measures may be worse than no measures at all. What McCain proposes would be the Republican flip-side of “leading from behind.” Just send in special forces and hope for the best. Failure is not an option because it’s not even a consideration. Neither is wiping Boko Haram from the face of the earth.

JOEL MATHIS

Here’s a three-part test to determine when the U.S. should go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. n Are U.S. citizens or interests threatened? In Nigeria, the answer is pretty clear: No. While the kidnapping of little girls in horrific and shocks the conscience, America will be no less secure or safe if we simply

do nothing against Boko Haram. n Is the event so shocking to the conscience that U.S. intervention is warranted? Here, your mileage may vary. My own level of interventionworthy shock is genocide, basically. It’s why the United States would’ve been justified in a Rwanda intervention 20 years ago; why the basis for intervening in Syria — which used chemical weapons against its rebels, but on a very limited basis — was somewhat iffy a year ago, but still in the realm of possibility. But it’s why Nigeria’s kidnapping, awful and evil as it is, doesn’t qualify. n What are the chances of blowback against the United States? Don’t be fooled by hawkish triumphalists: There is almost no such thing as “surgical” and “precise” military action, such as those undertaken by drones or special forces: It often ends up much messier and more deadly on the ground than is portrayed. An example: Yemen. The United States has been conducting an increasingly unpopular drone campaign there for years against alQaida-affiliated militants; in recent weeks, the war has escalated, with terrorists attempting — and failing — to kidnap U.S. intelligence officials, who had to shoot their way out of a Yemeni barber shop to survive. Once you start a war, you don’t necessarily choose when and where it ends. A U.S. intervention against Boko Haram wouldn’t make America safer; it would probably Joel Mathis, make us less safe. joelmmathis@ The U.S. can- gmail.com, not and should is a writer in not try to elimi- Philadelphia. nate evil in the world.

N.Y. made right call on California Chrome By Newsday Who would have guessed a little nasal strip could ease the respiration of so many? California Chrome, it was announced May 19, can wear his ersatz Breathe Right in the Belmont Stakes. Now the only thing that stands between the horse and history is the task that hasn’t been accomplished since 1978: winning the Triple Crown. The attempt creates great anticipation for the Belmont on June 7. No event shows off Long Island to a bigger audience, and that attention is only magnified when a horse that’s won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness comes to town. Assuming the weather is anything approaching acceptable, more than 100,000 people figure to flood Belmont for the day, enjoying an old-style track that is too often too empty. The nasal strip California Chrome wears is legal almost everywhere in the nation and was already approved in New York for harness racers. Monday, the New York State Gaming Commission’s equine medical director recommended that stewards discontinue their ban on the adhesive patch. The stewards agreed unanimously. The patch contains no drugs, but simply lets the horse get a little more oxygen under heavy exertion. There’s no reason it should be banned for any horse. California Chrome is the most recent 3-year-old to become everyone’s darling after adding a Preakness win to a

Kentucky Derby victory. His charms are enhanced by his story. He was bred for a $2,000 stud fee and is owned by two middle-class couples. He is trained by 77-year-old Art Sherman, who never before had a horse from his stable entered in the Derby, but was the stable lad for 1955 Derby champion Swaps, sleeping by the horse’s side at Churchill Downs. Racing is full of such fantastic personalities and stories, tales that dominated New York City culture in another era. The sport likely will never regain its historic heights, but it’s still a thrilling spectacle. Events like a Belmont Stakes with a Triple Crown contender remind us of that.

Home alone for the summer: Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the right age? HERSHEY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; As the school year draws to a close, many parents face the question of whether their children can be left home alone during the day in the summer months. Pennsylvania, like the majority of states, has no law on the subject, according to Susan Rzucidlo, pediatric trauma and injury prevention program manager at Penn State Hershey Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital and coordinator of Safe Kids Dauphin County. The National Safe Kids campaign suggests that children younger than 13 shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be left alone, but there are qualifiers. Most guidelines indicate that a 7-yearold could probably stay home alone safely while you run a 20-minute errand. If the child is 10 or younger, an hour or two might be the longest youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d want to leave. For children ages 10 to 12, it depends on the child. Parents should consider the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maturity level, behavior and emotional readiness before making a decision. Also, how does the child feel about such an arrangement? Before giving it a try, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry suggests parents spend time talking about expectations for the time alone. What is and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t OK for the child to do? How would the child handle certain situ-

ations? Maybe do some role playing with your child. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe a 13-year-old can use the microwave, but would you want them using the stove or baking cookies? What would they do if someone comes to the door? If there were a fire or they were to cut themselves?â&#x20AC;? Rzucidlo said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also important to consider sibling interactions. A 13-year-old who might be fine on his or her own at home might end up fighting with a younger brother or sister left in his or her care. And would the child be allowed to go places? To have friends over while you are gone? Or to go to the homes of friends? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could have certain rules when you are there, but you might need to be more explicit about what you want when you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there,â&#x20AC;? Rzucidlo said. Penn State Hershey and the Red Cross offer safe sitters programs that teach children ages 11 to 13 what to do in an emergency and how to handle younger siblings who may be at a different stage developmentally. They can also take a hands-free CPR class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a bad thing to learn anyway,â&#x20AC;? Rzucidlo said. If you and your child donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel com-

WITH SUMMER upon us, many parents are faced with a tough decision: Hire a babysitter or leave my child alone all day? fortable with the arrangement, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wise to consider alternatives. Maybe a sitter could come in just for the afternoon, once the child has gotten up, dressed, eaten breakfast and completed any household chores? Maybe the child takes turns staying with different neighbors and friends so they have someone to do things and adult supervision? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is hard because it can be very expensive to send them to camps,â&#x20AC;? Rzucidlo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you can find a neighbor or someone a few years older who could come and babysit, it might cost less.â&#x20AC;? Rzucidlo suggests looking into free pro-

grams such as Vacation Bible School or other activities offered by local organizations and community groups. Many local recreation departments offer free or lowcost summer programs for children of all ages.

Patricia Geis earns associate degree at 82 ALTOONA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Patricia Geis recently turned 82 years old, and on commencement day, May 10, wearing a cap and gown for the very first time, she was among Penn State Altoonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fresh-faced graduates, having earned her associate degree in letters, arts and sciences. Geis dropped out of school when she was 15 to get married and raise a family, which included five children. She now has nine grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. Originally from Gallitzin, Pa., Geis remembers being on the Altoona campus grounds back when it was the Ivyside Amusement Park, and then when it became a college, bringing her children to walk around and play. Once her children were grown and began moving away for work and to start families of their own, Geis said she started feeling a little bored. So, at 75, she enrolled in two classes through the Go 60 program. She chose a human development course and a creative writing course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had no intention of getting a degree, I was just coming to classes for fun, classes that were interesting to me and that I

wanted to take. I really enjoyed it,â&#x20AC;? said Geis. She said others talked her into fulfilling the requirements of an associate degree. She was already up to nearly 70 credits; she just needed to take two sciences, an art, and the most challenging of all for her, a math course. She managed to complete and pass that math class this semester. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I struggled, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for sure, but at least it was interesting, and I liked the teacher,â&#x20AC;? she said. Geisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; favorite classes are the ones relating to human development and family studies and the different stages of life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After all, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve pretty much been through them all, expect my own death, of course,â&#x20AC;? she joked. Geis really enjoys being on campus and around traditional-aged college students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not at home looking in the mirror seeing how old I really am. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see my wrinkles so I can think, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m one of them!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? One of her favorite stories to tell of her young classmates is the time she mentioned Herbert Hoover was president when she was born. She was thinking they would ask who that was, instead she was told, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;am, we

knew you were old, but we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know you were older than dirt!â&#x20AC;? Re-telling the story, Geis chuckles, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just have to love their honesty.â&#x20AC;? She has made a lot of friends on campus and is thrilled by the kindness of faculty PATRICIA GEIS and staff. Geis said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excited about completing her degree and receiving a diploma, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not exactly enough to satisfy her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really want that degree in human development and family studies, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to try to get now.â&#x20AC;? She plans to travel and visit family in early summer, take a class in late summer, then enroll in the fall semester with one course. She said a degree in HDFS would help her find a job at Head Start or another similar organization, and she would love that. Geisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, like anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, has dealt her some painful blows. Two of her children

have passed away and she later had to quit her job to care for another daughter with serious health issues. When her husband of 64 years died in 2011, Geis says she went to bed for nine months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You lose part of your identity; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not one person when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re married that long. I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Who am I?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I was always just Billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, but who am I, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I tried to find out. And I think that I did.â&#x20AC;? Continuing her education and earning her associate degree has been a large part of her self-discovery. Through her classes and finding her voice and identity, Geis says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learned she has a whole lot of opinions about things and that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to make a difference in the world. She feels strongly about tackling corporate greed and about environmental issues. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see college students and young graduates around the world work together to take on challenges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel good about myself. I mean, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an inspiration to someone else. But everyone has to be their own role model in the end. You can have somebody to look up to, but if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything for yourself or to better yourself, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do a whole lot of good.â&#x20AC;?

South Hills School hosts sonographersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; symposium STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ultrasound clinicians and students from across the state took part in the Sonographersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Symposium held by South Hills School of Business and Technology on May 3. This was the third annual conference that brought ultrasound leaders and practitioners together to increase their knowledge and share clinical experiences in the everadvancing science of diagnostic medical sonography. Sonography uses high frequency sound waves to produce visual images of organs, tissue or blood flow inside the body, without the use of ionizing radiation. Constant advancements in the science and equipment used in ultrasound technology make ongoing education a necessity for the sonographer. Nationally renowned faculty, physicians and sonographers provided symposium attendees with the latest developments and state-of-the-art information in this specialized medical field. Business representatives from GE Healthcare and Philips were also present to exhibit their companiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; newest equipment. Tricia Turner, sonography instructor and one of the organizers of the symposium, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were honored to have representatives from highly regarded medical institutions such as Johns Hopkins, Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital and Hershey Medical Center take part in the day.â&#x20AC;? Dr. Robert G. Atnip, professor of surgery and radiology at Hershey Medical Center and guest speaker at the conference, said he has been associated with South Hillsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sonography program for many years and can count on being impressed every time he visits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The medical ultrasound program is a gem, as witnessed by the fact that most of our vascular labâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sonographers are South Hills graduates,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Atnip said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the recent SHSBT Symposium, the fruit of their efforts was very much in evidence, along with a glimpse of a bright and promising future.â&#x20AC;? South Hills graduates are also employed in the general sonography and echocardiography departments at Hershey. Kelli Altieri-Burd, a sonographer at Hershey Medical Center and 2005 graduate of South Hills School, provided a lecture on pediatric sonography. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an honor for me to come back to South Hills where I can share the latest innovations in pediatric sonography from a large hospital like Hershey Medical Center,â&#x20AC;? said Altieri-Burd. Special sessions offered practical and valuable tips to students on the importance of customer service in 2014. The students who attended the event commented that they also appreciated meeting other sonographers who introduced them to the broad spectrum of ultrasound jobs that will be open to them in the future. South Hills student Rachel Reese, of Shippensburg, valued the symposium on many levels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were shown excellent examples of what the work environment will be like in a medical setting and many helpful sonography tips

LHU recognized nationally for PA Core Conference

ESSAY WINNER

LOCK HAVEN — Lock Haven University has been nationally recognized for hosting a Pennsylvania Core Conference last month for pre-kindergarten to 12th grade teachers and administrators, Pennsylvania Department of Education representatives and faculty from the university. In the April 29 edition of Ed Prep Matters, a web-based national newsletter distributed by the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, LHU’s Pennsylvania Core Conference was described as having the potential for a positive impact on moving toward the implementation of the Pennsylvania Common Core standards. Dr. Susan Rimby, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Education at LHU, hosted the conference, and Elizabeth Ross, director of the AACTE’s State Programs Division and a Common

Core expert, was the conference’s keynote speaker. In Ed Prep Matters, Ross reported that “the conversations at the conference were quite robust, and all parties agreed to continue working together. “This dialogue is an important step toward implementing the standards and a crucial component to ensuring a more aligned system,” she said. The conference’s intent was to allow LHU faculty to work closely with teachers and administrators for successful integration of Common Core into their instruction and to better align curriculum between basic and higher education.

Millheim hosts second radio station fundraiser By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

MILLHEIM — The Bremen Town Ballroom on Main Street in Millheim was the site of the second radio show fundraiser for a public access radio station in Penns Valley. A group is creating a low-power FM community radio station under the sponsorship of the Penns Valley Conservation Association. The show was presented to raise money to purchase broadcasting equipment. Organizers have received FCC permission to construct a Millheim-based station transmitting on a frequency of 101.7 megahertz using the call letters WSOV – Sounds of the Valley. Recent FCC regulation changes have allowed the creation of low-power (100 watts maximum) community access stations on the FM band. The fundraising show, hosted by radio station committee member Gary Gyekis, featured performances by bluegrass-style singers and songwriters Hannah Bingman, Johnny Stevens and Natalie Race. About 40 people attended the event, which also featured a buffet dinner preceding the entertainment. The show was digitally recorded for broadcasting on WSOV when it goes on the air. Gyekis opened the show in old-time radio announcer style. “Live from the Bremen Town Ballroom on WSOV - Sounds of the Valley, your community radio station, and brought to you by the Penns Valley Conservation Association, it’s our celebration of singer-songwriters, those mysterious people who write songs for you,” said Gyekis, while strumming his guitar. Gyekis sang a song, then introduced Bingman, the evening’s first performer. The singers all sang two sets of three songs each, delighting the crowd of listeners. Radio station committee member Jeremy Tosten said that the previous radio show held in March raised around $800, but much more money is needed to pur-

Rebersburg students enjoy chamber music presentation By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

REBERSBURG — Elementary school students and chamber music may seem like an unlikely combination, but on May 16, students at the Miles Township Elementary School in Rebersburg were presented with an introduction to this classical music style when the Allegria Ensemble presented “How to Listen to Classical Music: What to Know to Enjoy the Show.” The three-person State College ensemble consists of professional musicians Debbie Trudeau on violin, Jon Dexter on cello, and Cathy Herrera on flute. This is the third year they’ve introduced local elementary school students to classical music. These performances are free to attend and are made possible in part by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and by the Music Performance Trust Fund of the American Federation of Musicians. Herrera explained to the students that chamber music is a form of classical music, which is composed for a small group of instruments — traditionally, a group that could fit in a palace chamber. The style’s origins date back hundreds of years. It includes any music that is performed by a small number of performers, with one performer to a part and no conductor. Trudeau then discussed the value of printed music. “How many of you know the song ‘Happy Birthday’?” she asked. Everybody’s hands went up. The students said they knew the song because someone had sung it to them. “How would you know the song if you had never heard it?” asked Trudeau. This produced some puzzled looks until Trudeau showed the kids a page of printed music and explained that writing music on paper can preserve a song long after the composer is gone. The group played several songs in different styles by different composers. The music selections are designed to introduce new listeners to a variety of music from the baroque and classical to contemporary, jazz and Latin styles. The ensemble played a waltz from “Dream Dances,” by composer Peter Schickele, which has the three instruments playing in three different meters simultaneously. Preceding this song, Dexter divided the audience into three groups and had them clap together in rhythm is of three, four and five beats per measure.

SAM STITZER/For the Gazette

CATHY HERRERA, Debbie Trudeau and Jon Dexter of the Allegria Ensemble performed chamber music for students at Miles Township Elementary School. Not all the music was of the traditional chamber style. The ensemble played a Brazilian number “Tico Tico,” which was popularized by actress and singer Carmen Miranda in her films from the 1940s. Another song performed was in a blues style, which had

the students snapping their fingers with the beat. A question and answer session followed the performance. Students quizzed the musicians about their instruments, how long it takes to learn to play them and their cost, among other questions.

Centre Hall School holds spring carnival By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — The Parent Teacher Group of the Centre Hall Elementary School sponsored its annual Spring Carnival on May 16. The carnival is a fundraiser for the PTG and has been held annually for 15 years. This year’s event featured games and a bounce house in the school gymnasium. Each class designed and built an indoor game with an outer space theme for the carnival. Members of the Penns Valley High School football team assisted in run-

ning the games, and also served as targets for the pie-throwing booth outside. Carnival participants won tickets in the games, and could redeem them for toy prizes on tables in the school lobby. The carnival also featured Brothers Pizza, as well as a silent auction. The auction included items donated by local businesses and individuals and baskets of prizes collected by each class in the school. On the cafeteria stage, the third grade recorder band played several songs for the audience, followed by performances by the fourth grade band and the fourth grade

chorus. The musical groups were led by elementary music teacher Evelyn Mugridge. Carnival organizer Misty Swatsworth said the money raised by the carnival is used by the PTG to fund student field trips and a teacher appreciation day luncheon,

as well as to sponsor assemblies and purchase school supplies. She was pleased with the turnout of children and adults, and she praised the work of the parent and school faculty volunteers in making the carnival a success.

Police make finals week pizza deliveries to students UNIVERSITY PARK — Finals week is one of the most stressful times of the year for students. For days, the students spread out across campus in the dining commons, the library, the HUB-Robeson Center and, if it’s nice out, even on the Old Main lawn. They open their books, pop in their ear buds and crank their music, and focus on their studies with hopes of success. With an understanding of their stress level, members of University Police and Public Safety had been brainstorming ways to show their support for and engage with the students. “We wanted to find a way to interact with the students in a positive way, while also wishing them luck on their finals,” explained Sgt. Franie Pollack. Pollack and her colleagues decided to provide free pizza, as well as some giveaways like Lion Paw chip clips and flashlights to students around campus. “We know students like food,” said Pollack. “When you’re stressed, sometimes you put basic necessities on the back burner and don’t always eat. We decided to make sure they were getting something to

eat to help them continue to study successfully.” Pollack and her colleagues worked with Sbarro to set up a schedule of pizza pickup times. After getting the pizzas they would go wherever they saw students studying. The reception from students was incredibly positive. “So many of them were surprised to see us doing this,” said Pollack. “They were so thankful and appreciative that we were thinking about them, and one student even asked for a hug.” According to Pollack, University Police and Public Safety isn’t just there to deal with crises or other problems on and off campus. “We’re here to support them and help them be successful, in addition to making them feel safer.” After a successful first attempt, Pollack hoped the event will only continue to grow and improve. “I’m really grateful to have had the opportunity to do this,” she said. “I appreciate being provided the funding for this type of program. We had great success and wonderful returns on the investment.”

Medical personnel, police work together to save man By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — It doesn’t always end well. A person goes into cardiac arrest and suddenly a life is hanging in the balance. In these situations the victim often doesn’t survive to talk about it. But on April 22 circumstances were aligned perfectly and now Bryant Musser is home and recovering. Musser, 66, of Centre Hall, suffers from diabetes and recently had his toe amputated. He was at the Wound Clinic in State College for treatment when he started to feel ill. The doctor sent him to Mount Nittany Medical Center for a chest X-ray. Doctors didn’t see anything wrong, so Musser started to head home. But he didn’t get far. Musser crashed his vehicle at East Park Avenue and Hospital Drive — not far from Mount Nittany Medical Center. The vehicle went over an embankment, sliding about 40 feet before coming to a stop, according to State College police. An off-duty nurse, Shirley Karduck, saw the accident and stopped to help. She performed CPR until medics from Mount Nittany Medical Center and Penn State arrived. A State College police officer also responded and applied a defibrillator. With Musser on an incline, it made it difficult for Karduck to get her footing, creating a challenge. Also, ordinarily responders would have to stop performing CPR while lifting and moving Musser. However,

a new piece of equipment with the paramedic unit at Mount Nittany — the Lucas 2 — helped crews continue their life-saving efforts. The Lucas 2 is a tool that wraps around a patient’s body and performs measured CPR compressions automatically. When first responders become exhausted — or in order to continue CPR while moving the victim — the Lucas can be utilized. Shawn Luse, Ed Gailey and Ken Kephart, paramedics at the Mount Nittany, along with Lou Brungard — the hospital’s vice president of facilities and planning operations who also happens to be a local EMT — came equipped with the Lucas. “When performing CPR, people get tired and they change out and take turns because they become exhausted or tired and when CPR is stopped it takes one to two minutes to build a person’s circulation again,” Luse said. “With the Lucas, that doesn’t happen. It’s revolutionized what we do.” After about five to seven minutes with the Lucas, Musser saw a return of spontaneous circulation, meaning his heart started beating on its own and crews could turn off the Lucas. “It makes all of the bad days come together and go off to the side,” says Luse. “It makes the job worthwhile. The reward is being able to talk to them after the fact.” Musser underwent double-bypass surgery and had an internal defibrillator implanted. He stayed in the hospital for three weeks with half the time at Mount Nittany and half at Geisinger Medical Center in

Danville. He was released Monday — two days after he and his wife, Jody Musser, celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary. “The stars certainly aligned for him to be in the right place with the right people who had the right knowledge. ... It wasn’t his time,” said Jody Musser. Bryant Musser doesn’t remember the accident, but afterward his main concern was whether he hit anyone else in the accident. He was worried that someone else might have been hurt. Jody Musser says her husband asked about it several times. She says he is extremely grateful for all who helped save his life. “He just couldn’t believe it — that all of this transpired to help him. All of these forces gathered together for him,” she said. From Karduck performing CPR for roughly six minutes to the advanced technology of the Lucas, Jody Musser says what happened is nearly unexplainable. “It was just a matter of the time and the people and it’s just a miracle,” she said.

Rich Kelley, director of emergency services at Mount Nittany Medical Center, says the success of the Lucas depends on many factors including the underlying causes of the patient’s situation. Additionally, success depends on how early CPR is started by a bystander, how quickly first responders arrive to utilize a defibrillator and the Lucas, as well as the proximity to the hospital. “(Musser) had everything in his favor, so that certainly made a huge difference in the outcome,” said Kelley. Mount Nittany Medical Center has a Lucas 2 at its main hospital and a second unit at its Bellefonte facility. The cost was $13,000 each, with employee donations covering most of the expense. Crews use the equipment roughly one to two times a week. “It was really great to see our employees recognize the importance of the equipment,” said Mount Nittany Health spokesperson Erin Welsh.

The Centre Inspires program will provide up to $100,000 in grants annually to fund projects that address a major need in Centre County. “Centre Inspires will be a multi-year program,” said Molly Kunkel, executive director of Centre Foundation. “Each year, Centre Foundation will focus on a new program area in order to fund projects that touch all aspects of life in our community. The health and social services interest area will rotate more frequently, reflecting the foundation’s traditional support level of these services.” This year’s theme is culture, community and the arts.

months, when clients with children receive their monthly distributions, they will also be provided a “Kid’s Bag” (or bags) with easy-to-prepare foods such as peanut butter, jelly, applesauce or fruit, soup, pasta and cereal. Last summer, the State College Food Bank served approximately 242 children. Soroptimist is an international volunteer organization for business and professional women that works to improve the lives of women and girls in local communities and throughout the world.

“It has been shown that community engagement not only builds community spirit, but also drives economic development,” Kunkel said. The foundation is interested in projects that “create an appealing atmosphere and attract young professionals, bring people of different backgrounds or parts of the county together, and/or result in a change that can be felt in the near future.” There will be three information sessions for organizations planning to apply for a grant: Tuesday, May 27, from 4 to 5 p.m.; Thursday, May 29, from noon to 1 p.m.; and Tuesday, June 3, from 8 to 9 a.m. All three sessions will be held at Centre Foundation’s office, 377 Ridge Master Drive in State College. Organizations interested in applying must answer the following question in a one-page letter of intent: “What project(s) would you like to implement involving the arts, cultural opportunities, or community events that would encourage the people of Centre County to be more engaged in their community?” The primary partner must be a charitable 501(c)(3) organization. The deadline for applying is Monday, June 30. The foundation will then select candidates to submit a full application.

The Upper Pine Grove Mills Celebration begins at noon on Memorial Day, Monday, May 26. Hartswick and Hummel will travel to the Pine Grove Mills Lower Cemetery Memorial Day Celebration at 12:30 p.m., where Hartswick will once again speak and Hummel will play and sing. “It’s very humbling, but I am very proud to speak in front of my hometown people,” said Hartswick. “Someone must do this. We must not forget, or allow others to forget, what these men and women have done for the country.” When asked, Hummel said the VFW group will don their uniforms, grab their rifles and attend to the the serious business of honoring the dead. As an oft-quoted phrase says, “America is the land of the free, because of the brave.” Memorial Day, or “Decoration Day” as it was also known, began when people spread flowers on graves to honor the dead from the Civil War.

America and Memorial Day, forged in Pennsylvania By HARRY ZIMBLER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

BOALSBURG — Gov. Tom Corbett will deliver a brief address at the annual Memorial Day ceremony beginning at 6 p.m. on Monday, May 26, in the Boalsburg Cemetery. He will be joined by Rep. Glen “GT” Thompson, State Sen. Jake Corman, State Rep. Kerry Benninghoff, the Centre County commissioners and other dignitaries. The ceremony will come at the conclusion of a procession down Church Street, marking the 150th anniversary of placing flowers at the graves of fallen soldiers, especially those who lost their lives at the Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War. The day’s activities begin at 8 a.m. with “A Day in Towne,” the annual art, craft and music festival that runs

until 4 p.m. A carnival, sponsored by the Boalsburg Fire Company, will also take place that day. Boalsburg, the birthplace of Memorial Day, can trace the practice of placing flowers on graves to 1864, several years earlier than other claims. “We are encouraging everyone in the community to be a part of the ceremony honoring the servicemen and women who have helped keep America free,” said Dan Barker, coordinator of the 6 p.m. ceremony. “The most exciting part of planning for the day is the way it has brought the community together,” said Amy Farkas, Harris Township manager. “This experience is what Boalsburg is all about.” The organizers of this year’s Memorial Day in Boalsburg have noted that, like the nation itself, this special day was “Forged in Pennsylvania.” To mark the 150th anniversary, coinciding with the 150th year since the Battle of Gettysburg, a special procession to the ceremony is planned. At 5:45 p.m. participants will leave the town square for the ceremonial “walk” to the church cemetery. It is a reenactment of the day, in July 1864, that Emma Hunter,

BOALSBURG WILL be the site of many Memorial Day ceremonies. Many American heroes are buried at the Boalsburg Cemetery.

Sophie Keller and Elizabeth Myers began what was to become Memorial Day. The evening ceremony — titled “In Honor and With Glory Our Gratitude” — will include a variety of performances including the Marine Corps League Color Guard, the “Three Ladies” of Battery B, 3rd Pennsylvania Volunteer Light Artillery and other Civil War ladies, the 46th Pennsylvania Regiment Band (The Logan Guards); The State College Choral Society, and numerous other groups and invited guests. A full list of participants can be found at www.memorial dayinboalsburg.com. The recent publication of a book about Boalsburg’s and Harris Township’s role in the Civil War offers a compelling narrative and research that seems to support the claim that Boalsburg was, in fact, the birthplace of Memorial Day. The title of the book is “A War, Three Women, and a Tradition: A History of Boalsburg in the Civil War.” Memorial Day, Page 22

Memorial Day, from page 20 Authors Susan Evans, Cathy Horner, Bob Hazelton and Nancy Taylor provide a compelling story that includes personal letters sent to the Keller family and a story written by Sophie Keller detailing what happened in 1864. Called “The Sister’s Story,” it was Keller’s recollection of the first Memorial Day. Her story is found in the book “The Story of Our Regiment; The 148th Pennsylvania Volunteers,” written in 1904 by J.W. Muffley.

Remembering all who have served. Thank you.

HARRY ZIMBLER/For the Gazette

THE STORY of the three women who started the Memorial Day tradition is well-known in Centre County.

“The legacy (of Memorial Day) is here, in those letters and Keller’s story,” said co-author Cathy Horner. “We have the stories that weave a tapestry of truth. Other towns may have had more political clout than we had, but we have the history on our side.”

No other claim to this place in history can offer a more persuasive, first-person narrative than Boalsburg, the true birthplace of Memorial Day. In the event of rain, events will be moved to the Mount Nittany Middle School.

Quick Start

Bald Eagle Area jumps out to early lead, never looks back in victory By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

WINGATE — The Bald Eagle Area baseball team came into the District 6 Class AA Quarterfinal against Blairsville with some notso-pleasent memories about recent playoff games. It’s not that the Eagles played badly in those two early-round losses; they just didn’t score runs. Monday afternoon’s showdown against the Bobcats was a chance for BEA to redeem itself, and it was a chance the Eagles didn’t miss. They pounded 12 hits, scored in every inning, built an early 7-1 lead, and cruised home with a 12-2, six-inning win. Bryan Greene, Nate Cleaver, Jordan Kobluarcik, Jason Jones and Alex Struble each had two hits for the Eagles, and pitcher Colton Comly pitched five strong innings to lead BEA’s advance into the semi-finals against Bellwood-Antis this afternoon. “The last two years in districts, we scored one run total,” BEA second baseman Brandon Gettig said, “so it’s nice to put together a collective good-hitting day at the plate. We were just seeing the ball well today.” BEA saw the ball well from the start. The Eagles pushed a run across in the first on an RBI single by Kobularcik, then another in the second when Gettig walked, stole second and came all the way around to score on Blairsville catcher Scott Thompson’s overthrow at second. “I love hustling on the base paths,” Gettig said, “and I saw G (coach Jim Gardner) waving, so I just kept hustling and went home.” BEA then took a commanding 7-1 lead with five more runs in the third. The Eagles sent 10 men to the plate and got RBI hits by Ryan Dyke, Cleaver, Struble, Bryce Greene and Bryan Greene.

TIM WEIGHT/For the Gazette

BALD EAGLE AREA pitcher Colton Comly delivers a pitch during Monday’s District 6 Class AA playoff game with Blairsville. Comly pitched five solid innings in the 12-2 victory. “During practice, we were practicing going the opposite way,” Kobularcik said, “and pulling the ball. And practicing every-which-way of hitting, and we were on target today. “I felt good today. I was in a slump recently, so it was good to get out of that.” Blairsville made it 7-2 in the fourth when designated hitter Max Hrebik knocked in Nate Seitz with a single, but BEA answered immediately.

The Eagles added one in the bottom of the fourth on a single by Jones to make it 8-2, and then made it 9-2 in the fifth on a single by Kobularcik — his second RBI of the day. They wrapped things up in the sixth when consecutive hits by Gettig, Jones and Struble, a sacrifice fly, and an error put the score at 12-2, ending the game under the 10-run rule. “Very good start to the playoffs,” BEA coach Jim Gardner

said. “I thought we executed all the aspects of the game very well today. We kept after them, which is what we wanted to do, kept after them, kept after them, and finally put them away. “Comly did a real nice job for us. He got the ball up a couple of times and they hit it, but he kept his composure. We played defense behind him and held them to two runs. Can’t ask any more than that.”

For the game, Comly gave up two runs, seven hits, walked two and struck out five. Jeff Bennett cleaned up with a 1-2-3 seventh in relief. BEA will now play the No. 3 seed Bellwood-Antis in the district semi-finals at 4 p.m. today at BEA. “I think we played pretty strong,” Comly said. “No major things happened. Now we just have to stick together and grind it out.”

Howard knocks off Philipsburg in County League opener By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

PHILIPSBURG — The Howard Hawks picked up where they left off last summer when they visited the Spike Island Pirates on Sunday afternoon. After finishing the 2013 regular season under .500, the Hawks found themselves during the playoffs and made a run all the way to the CCBL championship series against Lemont. In the 2014 season opener at Philipsburg — the team they eliminated last year in the semi-finals — Howard looked as if it was already in playoff form. Kyle Womer hit a second-inning, threerun home run, and pitcher Tyler Sunday, making his debut for the Hawks, controlled the heavy-hitting Pirate lineup as Howard began the season with a solid 4-1 victory. Womer’s blast was all the support Sunday needed. Sunday gave up a single run in

the third on Jeremy Potter’s RBI single and then blanked Spike Island from there. He gave up six hits and walked only one as he picked up his first win as a Hawk. “He (Sunday) did great for us,” Kyle Womer said. “He came in here this year, his first year with us, and he just did awesome. That was a great performance on his part. I’ll give him that.” With Pirate ace Josh Potter on the mound against Sunday, there didn’t figure to be many runs in this game. But Tyler Womer led off the Hawks’ second inning with a single, and then Dan Cole walked. Kyle Womer then hit a towering fly ball to left field that just cleared the fence inside the foul pole for a 3-0 Howard lead. Three batters later, Evan Gettig singled home Luke Gardner with the Hawks fourth run of the inning — and their final run in the game. “I got down 3-2,” Kyle Womer said, “and I was trying to lay off that curve ball in the

dirt. He (Josh Potter) gets me on that a lot. “I wasn’t expecting one down the middle — I was just looking for something to hit. I got a hold of it, and it didn’t look like it was going to go, but I think the wind was pushing it and it just made out.” Philipsburg made it 4-1 in the third when Mike Marcinko tripled, and then Jeremy Potter lined a single to left that scored Marcinko. From there, however, Sunday allowed only four more scattered base runners — on two singles, a walk and an error — and only one runner past second base. Howard threatened with two runners on in both the fourth and sixth innings, but Josh Potter and reliever Aaron Lidgett worked out of both jams without any damage. “That was a great start for us,” Howard coach Jim Gardner said. “It maybe showed that last year’s playoff run wasn’t a fluke. Tyler (Sunday) pitched a really, really nice

game for us against a heavy-hitting lineup, really kept them off stride. He was able to get his stuff over for strikes and keep the ball down. “I thought we swung the bats well throughout the lineup, and Kyle’s hit had just enough to get there. It was a real nice win.” Marcinko had two hits with the triple for the Pirates, and Josh Potter surrendered four runs on seven hits and two walks in five innings of work. Gettig, Tyler Womer and Dillon Womer all had two hits for the Hawks. “We just seemed to jell at the right time last year,” Gardner said, “and we came together real well. “We have a great time coming out to the ball park and getting together. And when you start winning it gets to be a whole lot more fun. “I’m thinking that’s going to continue on for us here.”

Golf tourney supports B.J. Wetzler Scholarship fund By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — It’s a two-day event that John Wetzler looks forward to all year long. The seventh annual B.J. Wetzler Memorial Golf Tournament took place over the weekend. Once again, it was a rousing success. It kicked off on Friday night with the annual silent auction and dinner, which was held at Faith United Methodist Church in Bellefonte. On Saturday, golfers hit the links at Nittany Country Club in Mingoville. B.J. Wetzler was a three-sport star at Bellefonte. She passed away from melanoma cancer on Dec. 22, 2006. She was 27. The event is truly a labor of love for her father. “We work really hard with a small group of people to pull things together,” Wetzler explained. “We have a lot of adrenaline rushes, especially in the last week. We’re so fortunate that it has become a community event. Many people knew B.J. and cared about her, so we’re able to do what we do to keep her memory alive.” At the silent auction on Friday night, bidders found all sorts of treasures lining the tables at Faith United Methodist Church. There was something for everyone — from sports memorabilia to event tickets and merchandise. For nearly two hours, bids were placed on the items.

Around 7:30 p.m., the auction closed. When it was all said and done, the auction raised a total of $7,165 for the B.J. Wetzler Scholarship Fund. “We had a very good silent auction. The place was packed, people were having a good time and there was a lot of bidding going on. We’re so blessed that people give us all these great things to auction off,” Wetzler said. There were several popular items at the silent auction. The Miami Heat basketball wasn’t in the house — it was in Miami waiting for a signature from none other than LeBron James. While it wasn’t on the table, it was still one of the most popular items. Autographed Penn State mini helmets signed by the late Joe Paterno, former coach Bill O’Brien and current coach James Franklin were also extremely popular. “There were so many great things, it’s tough to pick out one or two and say, ‘Here’s a big, big item.’ I think all of the items together made for a great night for us,” Wetzler said. While people perused the silent auction items, they were invited to enjoy a turkey dinner with all the trimmings. The room was filled with family, friends and members of the community. Some stopped by to bid, have a meal or simply say hello to John and Mary Wetzler. “We’re able to keep (B.J.’s) memory alive. I’m sure she’s up there, looking down and saying ‘Dad, what are you doing?’ It’s something. It’s very humbling, very grati-

Wetzler said that the weekend could not happen without volunteers, who graciously give their time. “They enjoying doing it and they tell me they enjoy doing it. Things came together really, really well,” Wetzler said. On Saturday, 128 golfers took to the links at the Nittany Country Club.

MEMBERS OF THE Bald Eagle Area softball team celebrate a thrilling 7-6 extra-inning win over Bellwood-Antis in the District 6 Class AA playoffs on Monday.

BEA rallies for dramatic win MILESBURG — Behind by two runs to Bellwood-Antis and down to the last three outs in its season, the Bald Eagle Area softball team staged a dramatic rally to tie the game and send it into extra innings. Then in the eighth, Olivia Andrews singled home Mikayla Smith with the winning run in the Lady Eagles’ thrilling 7-6 District 6 Class AA Quarterfinal victory over Bellwood. The win, which looked improbable after the Lady Blue Devils rallied for three runs

in the top of the seventh, now puts BEA (17-4) into the semi-finals this afternoon. The Eagles will travel to undefeated and No. 1 seeded Penn Cambria (19-0), which defeated Westmont-Hilltop 10-0 on Monday. The winner of that game will advance to the finals, which will be held at the Penn State Softball Complex, and will also be one of the two District 6 qualifiers for the PIAA State AA Softball Tournament. — Pat Rothdeutsch

PSU football’s academic standing takes a hit

UP … AND AWAY

By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

BEN JONES/StateCollege.com

BEAVER STADIUM took a step toward the 2014 season as a massive Nittany Lion logo was lifted into place along the back of the north end zone scoreboard on May 15. Measuring in at 35 feet wide, 28 feet high and 18 inches thick, the scoreboard will be visible at night. It’s fitted with 1,400 LED lights that will make for a new must-have photo on a Saturday in Happy Valley. The logo is the first of two that will be added to the stadium. The other logo will be installed on the south scoreboard in the coming weeks. Each weighs roughly 6,500 pounds. Both scoreboards are currently being renovated and will feature large HD screens. All construction will be completed by the start of James Franklin’s first season at Penn State and should provide fans and onlookers with quite the view inside and outside the stadium.

BLACK BELTS

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State football saw its academic standing take a hit last week with the release of the 2012-2013 Academic Progress Rate. The report placed the Nittany Lions dead last in the Big Ten. The mark of 954 is three points above the national average, but lower than the previous year’s 961 figure and the fifth straight year of a downward trend for the program. According to the NCAA, a program’s Academic Progress Rate is calculated by giving each student-athlete receiving athletically related financial aid one point for staying in school and one point for being academically eligible. A team’s total points are divided by points possible and multiplied by 1,000 to produce the team’s APR. A 930 APR predicts about a 50 percent graduation rate. Teams falling below an APR of 930 face sanctions ranging from practice-time reductions to more severe penalties. In layman’s terms, the APR is a mark of how well athletes are moving through their schooling toward graduation, but its only half of the equation the NCAA monitors. Graduation rate is also a factor the NCAA takes into account and is an area Penn State has excelled at for decades. The most recently released figures showed that Nittany Lion football players were graduating over a four-year period at a rate of 85 percent — nearly 15 percent better than the national average. This year, Penn State’s APR is more than 20 points higher than the NCAA’s threshold, and eight different sports earned stel-

lar marks by NCAA standards, so it is not as though academics have been completely thrown aside at Penn State. Even so, the downward trend and conference low mark for football is still a major footnote on the athletic departments’ otherwise positive academic record. There are however, a few things to keep in mind. First, the NCAA’s open transfer period may have impacted Penn State’s APR standing. An eligible athlete who transfers with a GPA above 2.6 does not hurt the school’s retention rate, but it is unknown at this time the academic standing of the likes of Justin Brown, Silas Redd, Anthony Fera and a handful of others who transferred from Penn State over that span. A GPA lower than a 2.6 from a few of those transfers could have hurt the overall figure. Ultimately, even with a unique set of circumstances and a few aspects of Penn State’s particular APR score unknown at this time, the figure has been in a continued decline over the past five years, even while graduation rates have soared above national averages. The most recently released number is not an outlier but another data point on a downward trend. The good news for Penn State fans is that head coach James Franklin seems all too willing and ready to tackle the academic records and marks with the same enthusiasm he brings to football. Stability within a program can go a long way toward academic success and, if Franklin is really willing to put his money where his textbooks are, it may not be long before this downward trend becomes a thing of the past.

Franklin looking to graphic design for branding his tenure at Penn State and has been one of the biggest talking points for him with facilities upgrades. So, as he looks to partner with the graphic design program, it’s not surprising that it deals with so much of what is visual in the world. “I think we’ve become a society that is more visual than ever before,” Franklin said. “So when you’re able to have strong brands and strong messaging out there I think that’s very important and graphic design is a great way to do that. “The whole half lion deal, actually, Saeed Blacknall (incoming freshman) had done. He’s really interested in graphic design and if you ever saw his avatar before he committed to us it was half his face and half a lion and I thought it was really cool. So I asked him how he did that and he told us and we started messing around with it a little bit. “The whole pupils things I tweeted that out and some people thought it was kind of scary,” Franklin said smiling. “But once again it got people talking.” Even with his positive message and plans to work on the branding and images surrounding the program, it doesn’t mean Franklin has missed out on his fair share of criticism. The reasoning? Technically speaking the wrong lion was getting edited into photos early on. It might seem like a small thing, but for Penn State fans there is a big difference between an African lion and a mountain lion. Truly an offseason conversation topic. “We’ve also used lions,” Franklin said. “But I’m not a biologist and some people have said, ‘That’s not your lion,’ but it gets the message across. So this morning I actually tweeted out a Nittany Lion or a mountain lion and I didn’t get as much negative response on Twitter for it being the wrong lion. “We’re just trying to have fun with it. I hope we’re able to continue to do this.”

UNIVERSITY PARK — If you’ve spent any time on social media, especially Twitter, you may have come across a few interesting tweets from Penn State head coach James Franklin. It’s nothing controversial, but you can bet that a few photos have made people chuckle. So, what’s up with the sudden photoediting ability within the walls of the Lasch Building? For one, Franklin isn’t the one doing the edits himself, but he does have his hand in making the opportunity possible. “We run an intern program you know, really no different than anyone else on campus,” Franklin said recently during a stop on Penn State’ Coaches Caravan. “There are people that come in that want to work in sports marketing, there are people who want to be general managers, there are people who want to be scouts. There are people who want to be coaches. We have one young man who wants to coach — although he’s not playing college football, he wants to be a coach one day. “We have people who want to be graphic designers,” Franklin said. “So we try and get as many of these people who want to get work experience and internship experience to put on their resume to help. That’s an area that I’m really interested in, we’ve reached out to the graphic design school that maybe we can partnership and do something together because we’re just trying to take advantage of as many resources as we possibly can. Because we have so many resources at a place like Penn State to get our brand out there and we don’t want it to be the same message every single time.” Branding has been a big point of emphasis for Franklin in the early stages of

Franklin following talent on the recruiting trail By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — If you haven’t noticed, Pennsylvania has a lot of empty space in it. There’s nothing wrong with that. Lots of people enjoy the fresh air and ever-changing weather. But it does mean that James Franklin’s plan to dominate a six-hour drive from campus in any direction gives you more cows that Division I prospects. The result — or rather the countermeasure — is an ever-expanding area of interest for Franklin and his staff on the recruiting trail. Dominating the region is nice, but it’s even nicer to dominate a region with plenty of talent in it. There’s no shortage of capable recruits within that six-hour radius from Penn State’s campus, but those recruits won’t win national titles all on their own. “If you just study numbers, Texas, California and Florida, I think you’re talking about somewhere between 250 and 300 Division I athletes a year,” Franklin said last week in King of Prussia during a stop on Penn State’s Coaches Caravan tour. “In Pennsylvania, we have on average 35 D-I players a year.” That is largely why Franklin has somewhat informally declared New Jersey and Maryland “in-state” for the program. While some have turned the statement into an intentional jab at Rutgers and Maryland, Franklin is stating facts more than throwing punches. Penn State has always had a strong presence in those areas and Franklin is hoping to continue that trend. Simply put, Penn State can’t win with in-state talent alone and that means recruiting surrounding state’s talent with the same amount of energy all in-state prospects receive. Any different approach would leave Penn State out in the cold. Franklin has no choice but to expand the map he plans to dominate. “The most important thing is finding the right guys,” Franklin said. “Then, where are you gonna get the most bang for your buck? If you drive for an hour in any direction, how many Division I players are you gonna see? So, going to places like Florida and Georgia and Texas and California, you’re gonna get a lot of bang for your buck.” “The hard part, though, is you’re always CHECK OUT OUR ONLINE SPECIALS!!!

Six hours from campus, those kids we’re going to have the best opportunity to develop relationships with. We’re gonna know those kids the best, their high school coaches and people in their communities. We’re gonna be able to get them on campus multiple times, talk to them and look them in the eye. “But if there’s not enough talent in that area to fill out the entire roster, we gotta be willing to go wherever that may be to find it.” And that’s why Franklin and his staff are always on the recruiting trail. It’s also why Franklin and his staff are co-hosting two separate camps in Florida and Georgia this coming summer. If they can’t come to you, you go to them. If the talent isn’t near you, go near the talent. Even if the camps don’t directly result in commitments, it’s all about being present in the life and minds of prospects

As one reporter pointed out to Franklin, almost every player who has been selected in the Top 10 of the NFL draft over the past six years has come from a southern state. The statistic didn’t phase Franklin who simply answered “no” when asked if that surprised him. However, Penn State’s No. 2 recruiting class so far for 2015 didn’t happen by chance and James Franklin isn’t considered one of the best recruiters in the game for nothing. It’s safe to say the man does his homework. But while Franklin might be branching out where he’ll be scouting out top talent and co-hosting camps, it’s safe to say not all recruiting pipelines will be reopened for service. “One year I did a camp in Anchorage, Alaska, when I was at Idaho State,” Franklin said smiling. “We did a camp for all the city schools in Anchorage. I’m not sure we’ll be doing that one this summer.”

living in the nation’s biggest talent pool. Perception is the keyword yet again. “Our thought was that the Big Ten and NCAA rules allow us to do this and we wanted not only to have camps on our campus, which we’ll have a lot of,” Franklin said. “But also be able to take the Penn State brand to a part of the country where maybe young men and families that maybe couldn’t make it to us, so we’ll take it to them. “I’m fired up about it. It seems like the high school coaches are fired up as well. Like I’ve said to you guys since Day 1 that we’re going to recruit regionally and take a lot of pride in recruiting regionally but we’re also going to have a presence nationally. We’re going to have to wherever we have to go to find players. “It’s not like we’re going to lack for enthusiasm, we’re going to lack for work ethic. We’ll go wherever we’ve got to go.” So, they’re going south.

TIM WEIGHT/For the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State and Alabama facing off at a neutral site location was almost in the cards for the 2016 season opener, but didn’t quite work out, according to a source at the university. All of this may have flown under the radar had it not been for Alabama head coach Nick Saban saying earlier this week that Penn State had backed out of the game. While it may never be known publicly why the game fell through, it stands to reason that either the location had yet to be settled on or a Penn State program coming out of sanctions in 2016 decided against taking on what will likely still be one of the best teams in the nation. Neither Saban nor the Penn State

spokesperson indicated if the game was recently dropped from the discussion table or if this was water long under the bridge. Penn State’s 2016 schedule has been completed for quite some time, but nothing in the non-conference schedule is ever truly set in stone. Additionally, Penn State and LSU are still — at least in theory — discussing a possible neutral site game down the road. No public comments have been made regarding that contest aside from an initial confirmation of talks following an accidental leak by the Big Ten Network. None of this is exactly earthshaking news. But it is an interesting look at how college football programs go through the negotiation process of a major college football series without almost anyone knowing about it.

PSU women’s rugby team wins national title From Gazette staff reports

West Chester game the players knew we did not play our best and even though we had won the game and were in the national championship game, the feeling was one of disappointment.” Disappointment boosted the squad for the final match, which resulted in prop Hope Rogers being named tournament MVP. “We were upset because we knew we could play better (against West Chester) and that we would need to play better against Stanford in order to win,” said Rogers following the finals performance. “It was really exciting to see that we were able to play better today.” In total, Penn State finished the USA Rugby playoffs by outscoring its opponents 293-15. To reach the semifinal round, the Nittany Lions out-distanced East Carolina 7510, followed by a decisive victory over the U.S. Military Academy, 122-5. “At the beginning of the season we recognized that it would be a really hard challenge for us to win again and I’m really proud of the players for stepping up and getting to this point,” said Steinberg. “The players that weren’t able to travel are the reason why we are here.” To secure the championship, the Nittany Lions saw two tries dotted down by both Rogers and eight Annie Lucas as well as from flanker Bitsy Cairns and fullback Meya Bizer. Lauren Shissler connected on four of six conversion kicks to round out the scoring on the day. A strong defensive performance was also noted from Bizer. The birthday girl had several game-changing hits in addition to making several try-saving tackles. The Nittany Lions were paced by three tries from Corey Meanix in the semifinal match. Gabriella Cantorna added two of her own in addition to slotting two conversions in the victory over the Golden Rams. Kellie Vetter, Elena Cantorna, Danielle

PALO ALTO, Calif. — As history was made, State High was well-represented. The Penn State women’s rugby team — a team that includes seven members tied to State College Area High School — became the first team in women’s collegiate rugby to win three consecutive national championships. To secure the ninth title in team history, the Nittany Lions routed host Stanford, 38-0. “Its very exciting to see the local connection on a national scale,” said Bernie Cantorna, assistant coach for Penn State and current State High girls head coach. “State High is producing some great kids that excel both on and off the field, thanks to both State High and the sport of rugby. It is great to see the work pay off like this.” Five former State High players — Katrina Bodenschatz (’12), Elena Cantorna (’10), Gabriella Cantorna (’13), Sarah Pewo (’12) and Courtney Williams (’12) — helped the Nittany Lions reach the final contest and secure the title. Penn State coaches Cantorna and Jonathan Swart (’03) also have ties to State College. Both were involved in the inaugural boys team in 1999-2000, Cantorna as a coach and Swart as a player. “With only a short history for the State College program and such great success, I can only imagine the abilities and opportunities for players to come,” said assistant coach Cantorna following the championship. The victory not only signified the first time that a team won three consecutive titles, but also the only time that a national champion did not concede a point in the final two rounds of the playoffs. Penn State defeated West Chester University, 58-0, the day prior. “One of the special attitudes of this team is their commitment to excellence,” said head coach Pete Steinberg. “After the

The challenge is now how can we be better next year.” To round out the season, the Nittany Lions will switch gears to 7s and the CRC 7s Championships, Friday, May 30, through Sunday, June 1. The tournament, held in Chester, Pa., at PPL Park, will be aired on NBC. Tickets to the event can be purchased at www.usasevenscrc.com/tickets/penn state.

Ciocco, Gretchen Stockhausen and Beth Rose also added tries to the board. Bizer was able to connect on one of the tries to make the final score 58-0. “We have a great group of players on this team that made a commitment to each other to raise our game and go for history,” said Penn State captain Kelsey Harris. “We always feel our history at Penn State and our performances are built on those that came before us, but it is special to be the first team to be able to win three in a row.” Steinberg also noted the team’s efforts from the history-making win. “This team is the most fit and physical

Farmer’s Markets Vendors, shoppers enjoy markets By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

From fresh produce and meat to homemade pastries and breads, farmers’ markets can be a gold mine for those who want to be in touch with and support the community. Farmers’ markets have proven to be an exceptional experience for both vendors and consumers, who learn from each other and often develop relationships. Betsy Green of Egg Hill Gardens in Spring Mills has been a vendor at farmers’ markets for four years. “I love to grow things,” she said. Green sells vegetables and a variety of flowers both at the Tuesday State College Farmers’ Market and the Millheim Farmers’ Market. As a vendor, Green said it’s an awesome experience. It is wonderful, she said, to be able to interact and connect with customers. “I become friends with many of them and I try to learn

and remember their names,” she said. Dave Florig, of Pittsburgh, said he will often spend an hour just looking around area farmers’ markets. “You’ll find things you don’t often see in stores,” he said. “There’s always a good variety.” Florig also said it’s a good place to talk to vendors and other people attending the market about agriculture. Jen Andrews, of Bellefonte, said she attends area farmers’ markets to get local and fresh produce. “They also have a good variety of baked goods, which I sometimes share with my office, as well as plants and flowers,” Andrews said.

Arts & Entertainment Pianist Guzman serves as ambassador for PSU

UNIVERSITY PARK — When Christopher Guzman, assistant professor of music, won the 10th Concours International de Piano d’Orléans in 2012, he won more than international recognition for himself as a pianist. He gained international visibility for Penn State, thanks to a November 2013 tour of France and a CD — released this month — produced as part of his prize. The Orléans International Piano Competition, held every two years and one of the most prestigious music competitions in Europe, emphasizes the performance of modern music. “My CD project was to cover German and Austrian composers from the Second Viennese School — the first group of composers to systematically compose music without a tonal center, otherwise known as atonal music — through today,” Guzman explained. He selected works by Jörg Widmann, Peter Ablinger, Arnulf Herrmann, Wolfgang Rihm, Hans Werner Henze, Karlheinz Stockhausen and Anton Webern. Thanks to a grant from Penn State’s Institute for the Arts and Humanities, he was able to meet with three of the composers, Widmann, Ablinger and Herrmann, in Germany before recording their pieces. “I would not normally have the chance to play for these composers, and I am extremely grateful to the institute for the grant that allowed me to go play for

them before my recording,” Guzman said. “Since these works were going to be on record, I wanted to make sure that I was coming as close to the composers’ intentions as possible.” According to Guzman, Widmann, at age 40, has already established himself as one of the great composers of his generation. While arranging a meeting was challenging — Widmann does not use email and Guzman was not given his phone number, so he had to go through the composer’s manager — it was worth it. “My lesson with him was almost like a fantasy — I hadn’t been inspired musically like this in such a long time,” Guzman noted. “Practically, he helped me with some revisions to the score that hadn’t made it to the printed edition, which was invaluable for the production of the recording.” Guzman performed the works on the CD when he toured Paris and the Loire Valley in late 2013, giving master classes and recitals in 10 cities. “In total, I performed for about 1,300 people, and taught about 70 students, a huge promotional tour for me and great international publicity for Penn State.” Guzman, who joined the Penn State faculty in 2011, trained at the Juilliard School, as well as the New England Conservatory in Boston and the University of Texas at Austin. His performances have

Penn State announces new arts position UNIVERSITY PARK — Jonathan J. Gangi, lecturer in arts entrepreneurship at North Carolina State University and faculty adviser to the school’s Entrepreneurship Student Group, has been appointed the College of Arts and Architecture’s inaugural Professor in Arts Entrepreneurship, with rank of assistant professor, effective August 18. In this role, Gangi will work with academic faculty across the college to develop new courses and programs that focus on the business of the arts for artists, and on arts entrepreneurship and innovation. He will also teach courses in these areas and provide guidance and assistance to academic units in developing, implementing and coordinating college-wide internship and mentoring programs. He will be an affiliate faculty member in the School of Music, offering instruction in classical guitar. Barbara O. Korner, dean of the College of Arts and Architecture, says the position was created in order to address the need for professional guidance and a deeper engagement with entrepreneurship as a key to successful careers in the arts. “During the interviews of the finalists, it was encouraging to see many faculty and

students in the college attend presentations and question-and-answer sessions as affirmation of the importance of this new position,” says Korner. “As someone who is helping create this emerging field of study and engagement of art and design students with career-building skills, Jonathan Gangi, under the guidance of the college’s associate dean for academic affairs, will provide assistance to students in disciplines across the college. We anticipate important connections and links with other areas in the university as well.” Gangi, who holds bachelor and master of music degrees in classical guitar performance from the University of Akron, is a founding member of the Arts Entrepreneurship Academic Society, established in July 2013. He is also a member of the College Music Society’s Committee on Music Entrepreneurship Education and assisted in developing and teaching the Music Entrepreneurship Summer Certificate Program at North Carolina State University in summer 2013. He has presented and served as a panelist at a conference of the United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship.

“I am honored to accept this appointment, and look forward to the important work of helping young artists gain entrepreneurial skills,” says Gangi. “Knowing that so many College of Arts and Architecture students, faculty and administrators support arts entrepreneurship education gives me great confidence that, together, we can build a leading arts entrepreneurship program at Penn State, and I am eager to begin that exciting task.” Gangi expects to receive his doctor of musical arts degree in classical guitar performance from the University of South Carolina this year. He is the founder and artistic director of the Rosario Guitar Festival and Competition at the University of South Carolina, and in that role has secured major grants and corporate sponsorship from companies such as Westinghouse. Gangi has appeared on South Carolina public radio and on National Public Radio’s “The Front Row,” among other performances. He is a member of the Association of Arts Administration Educators, United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship, International Council for Small Business, College Music Society and Guitar Foundation of America.

Investing in fear and greed can lead to disastrous results Scare tactics take many guises, from the innocuous to the really damaging. Some salespeople have been trained to do it for every sale. For instance, “If you don’t invest in the (annuity, penny stock, etc.) now, you will miss the (guaranteed rate, huge gain, etc.).” This leads to the fear you will miss out on making money while others prosper. Since 2008, many are using fear of another severe recession and stock downturn to sell Judy Loy, is CEO at gold, coins and annuiNestlerode & ties. Loy Investment Advisors, State Many swindlers will College. She is a prey on the fear of the regular columnist unknown to sell their for StateCollege. newsletters or investcom. ment prowess. Greed also leads us astray. Many of the Ponzi schemes are built on greed and promised returns that are too good to be true. It is always a good idea to take a step back when emotions such as greed or fear are used to make any financial decision. The perfect example of greed in the markets is a bubble. In recent years, we have experienced the dot-com bubble and the housing bubble. People get into a mindset where they think they can’t lose and they overextend themselves.

JUDY LOY

Fear can also lead to damaging results. For instance, how many people sold at the bottom of the market in early 2009? I received a question about a serious fear monger from clients this year. The premise is that the end of America and the dollar is coming on July 1. This is based on the Hire Incentives to Restore Employment Act, also referred to as HR 2847, that was signed into law back in 2010. It includes a provision requiring foreign financial institutions to report information about U.S. taxpayers’ overseas assets to our government. This requirement begins on July 1 of this year. A scare monger, who shall remain nameless (but can be easily Googled), is spreading the premise that this law’s implementation will “threaten our very way of life.” The warning gets better — with more dire predictions and the need to purchase the firm’s newsletter. Of course, this firm is the only one that can lead you safely through the coming armageddon. The newsletter is laced with half-truths, manipulated charts and dire endings. The main thing to remember when receiving any propaganda through email or mail is to check out the sender and the message. You can also call or email a trusted adviser who can investigate and help to put the data in perspective. In this case, it turned out the owner of the firm issuing this newsletter had been convicted of fraud. Many email scams suggest that untold

riches can be had for a nominal fee. One of the more famous is the “Nigerian Fraud.” A foreigner (usually a prince) needs to get millions of dollars out of his country and you are the kind stranger who can help. The fraudster then uses the bank account information that you provide to impersonate you and wipe you out. I had a client ask about an email claiming he was owed a large amount from a will of an unknown distant relative. It would be great if millions fell into your lap but the “too good to be true” guideline is a must to remember. Penny stocks are also used frequently in scams. The movie “The Wolf of Wall Street” portrayed a real-life money-hungry New York stock broker who used penny stocks to make his fortune at the expense of his customers. Newsletters and emails are sent out to drive up the price of a thinly traded, littleknown, unregulated company’s stock. It’s called a pump and dump. The promoter will pump up the stock price through misleading statements and promises of riches. The price of the stock goes up on added volume and thus convinces more people to jump onto the band wagon. The promoter dumps shares at the highs and then stops promoting and driving up the stock price and the stock price plummets, leaving others holding the bag. Typically, all scamsters will try to emotionally motivate you either through greed or fear. Therefore, never make snap judgments

AbleStock.com

BE CAREFUL when investing. Some brokers use scare tactics to lure would-be investors. when deciding with emotion. Discuss your decision and the information with someone who can be objective and whom you trust. People can use fear to manipulate or steer people in the direction they wish. When all is said and done, the world can only end once — and I don’t think it will be tomorrow.

Promising job outlook awaits Penn College’s tech grads WILLIAMSPORT — Pennsylvania College of Technology will send more than 900 potential new employees into the job market this month, and the new graduates are poised for success with their workforceready skills and specialties. “Demand for Penn College graduates remains high,” said Paul L. Starkey, vice president for academic affairs/provost. “Programs across campus are reporting graduates accepting employment offers at a rapid pace.” According to the college’s Career Services office, 28 Fortune 500 companies participated in 54 on-campus recruiting events during the 2013-14 academic year. The companies who visited Penn College include Caterpillar, PepsiCo, Honeywell International, Halliburton, Emerson Electric, Cummins, PPG Industries, Penske Automotive Group, Aramark, PPL, NRG Energy, Republic Services, Travel Centers of America, UGI, Ryder Systems, Erie Insurance Group, Kelly Services, Ford Motor, Lowe’s, Johnson Control, John Deere, Fluor, Gap, Toys R Us, Ashland, Oshkosh, Corning and Hershey. Employers have regularly cited Penn College graduates’ combination of technical skills and outstanding general education backgrounds. The 2014 graduates will join other Penn College alumni in the workforce, including members of the Class of 2013 who are already making their mark in their respective fields. Timothy D. McMorrow, a graduate of the manufacturing engineering technology program, is employed as an automation engineer at MakerBot, a global leader in desktop 3-D printing based in Brooklyn,

N.Y. “My education at Penn College enabled me to make things happen,” said McMorrow. “I think the biggest thing that stands out is the hands-on experience I gained there. Having the ability to make high-quality parts is paramount in designing a 3-D printer. Quickly turning around prototype parts and iterations, designing with manufacturability in mind, etc., are all things that Penn College made possible for me.” More career possibilities are seen in the success of Sean P. Turnbach, of the welding and fabrication engineering technology program, who, along with classmate Robert J. Lamb, landed a job with John Deere in Moline, Ill. “The job opportunities with that degree are amazing,” noted Turnbach, who had a full-time job offer in October of his senior year. “John Deere came to the college to recruit. I didn’t have to go to them.” As a manufacturing engineer, Turnbach says his favorite part of the job is “being creative and being able to help in production.” He added: “John Deere is a very good company. They treat their employees very well.” Finding employment even farther across the country is Tyler D. Dickson, a paramedic technician alumnus who is working as a paramedic/firefighter for the Los Angeles Fire Department. Dickson was previously employed as a Los Angeles firefighter/EMT, but when placed on furlough, he decided to advance his career and education by becoming a paramedic. During his leave, he researched and visited at least 20 paramedic programs across the country and chose Penn College

after meeting its faculty and seeing its labs. Following graduation, he worked as a paramedic at Evangelical Community Hospital in Lewisburg, but had always held the desire to return to California where, in addition to his prior role providing basic life support, he treats patients in an advanced life-support role. “Words cannot express how happy I am to call myself a Penn College alumnus,” Dickson said. “Graduating from such a prestigious paramedic program was the greatest moment of my life, and I look back at the two years I spent on campus with pride and happiness. Being a paramedic alumnus from Penn College, I am now in a small group with some of the best paramedics this nation has to offer.” Eyeing a career even farther afield is Karen J. Miller, a graduate of the dental hygiene program, with a concentration in health policy and administration. “I’m definitely focused on working internationally as a health care professional,” said Miller, who has spent the past two summers working for a nonprofit organization in China. “I want to devote my life and time to underserved populations in Asia.” Miller is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in international development at North Central University in Minneapolis and working part time as a health educator at the Community Dental Care Clinic in nearby St. Paul, Minn. “Since I want to work overseas in a humanitarian effort, developing the dental profession, I believe this degree will greatly supplement my work,” she said. Developing resources closer to home, Scott M. Ziegler, who earned degrees in

heavy construction equipment (with a Caterpillar equipment emphasis) and on-site power generation, is employed by MarkWest Energy Partners, a public midstream natural gas company. He works as a mechanic at its Bluestone Processing Facility in Evans City, Pa. “I had learned of this job while working as an intern at Cleveland Brothers Equipment Co.,” Ziegler explained. “During my time there, I had been to numerous compression stations and found a huge interest in the gas industry. I applied for the job at MarkWest, and the next day, I had an interview. This all happened in May 2013, and a few weeks after the semester ended, I began working at MarkWest. “I returned to Penn College for the fall semester and still worked at MarkWest during that time when I could. After December commencement, I returned to MarkWest full time with a company-provided vehicle and all the tools I needed. I’m very successful financially and in a great position in my career with MarkWest.” Like Ziegler, 2014 graduate Benjamin M. Schappell, who will serve as a commencement speaker, got his foot in a company’s door early and landed a job as an engineering technician at Andritz Inc., a global supplier of industrial equipment and services. Earning a bachelor of science degree in computer-aided product design, Schappell said he parlayed an internship with Andritz into a full-time job and was invited to Germany on a business trip to help with a global corporate project for the company. “This job is directly related to my major, which makes it even more awesome,” Schappell said. “College worked.”

Lignolink receives National Science Foundation grant UNIVERSITY PARK — Located in Innovation Park, Lignolink Inc. is developing a patented technology for the genetic modification of crops to enhance digestibility for biofuels feedstock and livestock forages. Recently, the company received a $750,000 Phase II Small Business Innovation Research Grant from the National Science Foundation. The company will use the investment to further advance its technology that improves the breakdown of biomass into sugars. Lignin is a critical component of plant

cell walls, providing strength to the plant. But, its structure is a significant barrier to digestion by livestock and biochemical processes. Lignolink’s technology causes plants to insert proteins into the lignin structure in cell walls, creating “lignolinks” for faster, easier breakdown of lignin. This breakdown, or pre-treatment, is the largest single cost in biofuels production and can be a limiting factor in economic viability. The company’s technology will make cellulosic biofuels more commercially viable and environmentally friendly by permit-

ting the use of milder pre-treatment conditions leading to greater product yields. A Ben Franklin Technology Partners portfolio company, Lignolink’s core technology was invented by Penn State professors Ming Tien and John Carlson, who are also the founders of the company. Lignolink has exclusively licensed the technology, which was patented by the university, for commercial use. In addition to SBIR funding, the company was supported in its early stages by Ben Franklin Technology Partners through its traditional investment

fund program as well as its’ Entrepreneurin-Residence support. Ben Franklin Technology Partners/ CNP, an initiative of the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, and funded by the Ben Franklin Technology Development Authority, provides investment capital, operational assistance and entrepreneurial support to emerging tech-based companies and small, existing manufacturers for the purpose of creating and retaining jobs in Pennsylvania.
