Wilson happy to call Bellefonte his home By BRITTANY SVOBODA

bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

BELLFONTE — Tom Wilson has been to different parts of the world, but there’s only one place he calls home. That’s Bellefonte. The current Bellefonte mayor joined the Navy soon after he graduated from Bellefonte Area High School during the Vietnam War era. His extensive traveling during his four-year enlistment helped stamp his ticket back home though, and made him appreciate all that the area has to offer. “There’s a lot of natural beauty here,” Wilson said. “The fact that we’re close to a major university ... gives us some opportunities for cultural events that we wouldn’t have if we were stuck out in the middle of nowhere.” While metropolitans might consider Bellefonte to be in the middle of nowhere, he said, you

CENTRE COUNTY SPOTLIGHT can’t beat the small-town atmosphere that the borough boasts with the advantage of being surrounded by mountains and streams. And Wilson is quite the outdoorsman. “I’ve (canoed) all over the state and I hunt,” he said. Another hobby of his is music. Wilson has played trumpet in an eight-piece horn band and also has been lead singer for several groups. After serving in the military, Wilson returned to Centre County and worked for First Media/ WZWW in radio sales and promotions. He has also owned and operated Centretainment, an entertainment booking company, Wilson, Page 6

UNIVERSITY PARK — Though the State College High School graduation ceremony this past Saturday had to be moved to the Pegula Ice Arena due to the Bryce Jordan Center construction, the project is on track to be finished by Penn State’s summer commencement on Saturday, Aug. 16. Bernie Punt, the BJC director of sales and marketing, said in an email that the high school commencement was the only event that had to be moved due to the construction. Since touring acts are slower during the summer, the project hasn’t dramatically

impacted their scheduling. “That doesn’t mean we are not busy,” Punt said. “Our conference rooms and auxiliary gym are being utilized all summer for banquets, proms, basketball and volleyball camps.” Project leader Marcie Van Horn said the whole building is not under construction, and its offices remain open. Both the building roof and the arena floor are being renovated and replaced. “As is typical, most roofing systems have about a 20-year life cycle, and this roof has been up 18 years,” Van Horn said. “This started as an arena floor Bryce Jordan, Page 4

Special Olympics enjoys great weather, record numbers By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The 45th annual Special Olympics Pennsylvania Summer Games went off without a hitch over the weekend. Penn State was once again the host site. According to event director Ed Gannon, the games played out perfectly. There were no weather delays and everything fell into place. “It went very well,” Gannon said. “Our big issue is always the weather. We work all year to get all the kinks worked out and to have a smooth production. The last week is always a panic because everyone is looking at the weather. The weather has always been the factor that can make or break the games.” But with temperatures in the 70s and no rain in sight, the 2014 Summer Games were just about perfect. According to Gannon, record numbers of volunteers, coaches and athletes converged on University Park for the annual event. “It was our largest event Opinion ............................. 7 Health & Wellness .......... 8, 9

to date … the most amount of athletes ever. I don’t know the exact numbers — we had a lot of scratches and late additions — but we had well over 2,300 athletes,” he said. Because the Special Olympics Summer Games is such a massive undertaking, planning the event takes place well in advance. “We work all year long on this thing. We try to take care of all the possible problems. If we can’t take care of them, we at least try to identify them. We still do a lot of reaction during the games. There’s a lot of things that can potentially go wrong,” Gannon said. According to Gannon, in addition to the 2,300 athletes, there were 1,600 volunteers and 600 coaches. The numbers, quite simply, are staggering. “It takes a lot of coordination. When you’re working with those numbers … there’s always lastminute crises. Some years, we’ve had rain, cold — the games have been moved inside. But when we have weather like we did, the games are an unqualified success,” Gannon noted.

Education ................... 10, 11 Community ................ 12-16

According to Gannon, the safety of the athletes is paramount. “With the population of athletes that we’re dealing with, we need to be careful. Special Olympics requires a one-to-four ratio; one coach or assistant coach for every four athletes. We’re well aware that we’ve got a population of athletes that needs to be supervised. Our biggest concern is what can potentially happen to those athletes. They are given a lot of freedom here, so we’re very concerned about the safety of our athletes,” he said. Aside from the normal bumps and bruises and a few trips to the emergency room, at the Special Olympics Pennsylvania Summer Games, the injuries were few and far between. “We had several hospital runs from injuries that were sustained on the basketball court. Nothing out of the ordinary,” Gannon said. For athletes like Stan Berecky, of Allegheny County, the Special Olympics Pennsylvania Summer Special Olympics, Page 6

State College police investigating animal bites By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — In recent days, the State College Police Department has responded to two separate incidents involving animal attacks. The first incident occurred about 6:20 p.m. Saturday in the 300 block of Ridge Avenue. Police say a mixed breed male dog entered a neighbor’s property and attacked another dog. At one point, police say the neighbor’s dog entered the home while attacking the residents’ dog. During the incident, the neighbor’s dog bit one of the resident’s in the hand and

The violations are summary offenses and will result in fines. The second incident occurred about 9 p.m. Monday on Andover Drive in Harris Township where a fox reportedly attacked a woman. Police say neighbors captured the fox and an officer was forced to kill the animal. The remains were then turned over to the Pennsylvania Game Commission for examination.

Schlow bounces back following week-long closure By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Almost one month ago, Schlow Centre Region Library closed for one week due to state budget cuts. Looking back, library staff and board members say they have received much community support, but await the 2014-15 budget before more decisions are made. “The closure was painful for our … customers and unpaid staff,” said library director Catherine Alloway. “However, we seemed to have raised public awareness of the way public libraries are funded, and in particular, the declines in state aid that have negatively affected Schlow … and all other libraries in the state.” Schlow was closed from May 12 to May 19. Before then, staff asked library patrons to fill out postcards with messages about their library use. About 500 postcards have been collected, Alloway said, and will be sent to Gov. Tom Corbett and other elected officials in Harrisburg soon. “We would like to think that hearing from constituents that have signed messages will have some kind of impact,” Alloway said. Other public libraries throughout the state are taking similar measures, she added. “The rally was excellent in bringing attention to the closure,” said Sue Werner, president of Friends of Schlow Library. She also said that she thinks the rally was key in bringing attention to the state Legislature. The 2014-15 fiscal year budget has to be passed by July 1, but Werner said it’s taken longer than that some years. It will be hard to tell if another closure is necessary “until we see how much funding we get.” “We don’t have to repeat the closure for another week,” Werner said. “That was bad enough once.” She also said that through this unpleasant furlong, Schlow staff “understood the necessity.” Glenn Miller, executive director of the Pennsylvania Library Association, said that the entire budget is “cloudy” right now since the state faces a deficit of $530 million in projected revenue from the 2013-14 fiscal year. “It’s a major challenge right now,” Miller said. “I don’t think anyone knows what will happen.” In February, the governor initially proposed increasing the Department of Education’s budget, which public libraries are housed under, by a modest $500,000 for the 2014-15 fiscal year. That could be in jeopardy now. Miller said it’s going to be tough for Corbett and the Legislature to balance both this past year’s and the upcoming budget, but he thinks it will pass by July 1 since it’s an election year. If there is an increase in the budget for the Department of Education and public libraries, Miller said

ONE MONTH after closing its doors for budget concerns, the Schlow Centre Region Library is running on a normal schedule. There are concerns, however, as the library looks at the 2014-15 budget. it would be the first since 2007. In order to show how valuable public libraries are to the community, he said people should continue to show their support by making their voices heard by Corbett and the Legislature. If Schlow’s budget is not increased, Alloway said it is likely that hours will be trimmed from the weekly public schedule. The library is currently open 65 hours a week, she said. Since the library’s closing and the rally, Alloway said that Schlow has received many generous and unexpected donations. She explained that donations are usually put toward the

Investigation finds Corbett did not delay case By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — Attorney General Kathleen Kane’s report on Gov. Tom Corbett’s investigation into the Sandusky child sex abuse case has concluded that the governor did not delay the case for political reasons while serving as attorney general and running for governor, according to reports in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the Philadelphia Inquirer. The report has not been released to the public because those involved have the chance to read and offer responses before it's released. Neither the attorney general’s nor the governor’s office have issued an official statement. Estimations on when this process may be finished are unavailable. Kane commissioned the report after criticizing Corbett’s handling of the Sandusky investigation. The report was completed by federal prosecutor H. Geoffrey Moulton. The report was previously approved by a judge. While running for the attorney general's seat, Kane's campaign questioned the Sandusky investigation’s length, the necessity of having called a grand jury, and whether

Corbett had delayed the investigation for political reasons. Kane commissioned the report after taking office. Sandusky, a former Penn State assistant football coach, was convicted on 45 counts of sexually abusing 10 boys over 15 years. He is currently serving up to 60 years in prison. Penn State spokesperson Annemarie Mountz says she has not seen the report. The offices of the attorney general and the governor could not be reached for comment.

general operating budget and what best suits the library’s needs unless the donor designates it for something specific. Right now, however, Alloway said the donations are helping pay for snow removal and utility costs from this past winter, which put the library over budget.

Lions Club chapters raising awareness about sight impairment By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

JEN HUDSON/For the Gazette

WITH THE Bryce Jordan Center under construction this summer, some events have been moved elsewhere. State College Area High School graduation was held at Pegula Ice Arena for the first time. Bryce Jordan, from page 1 project and grew into a roof replacement as well.” Though officials knew that the lifespan of the roof was drawing to an end, the floor was the primary concern because the original floor was not level when poured. Combined with general use and wear and tear, the floor needed replacement before the roof. “We had used different self-leveling agents in the past, from cement products to epoxy, and we found that those deteriorate over time,” Van Horn said. “The more permanent solution is to remove the concrete, which is far more cost effective in the long term.” Van Horn said that Penn State decided to take care of both projects at once, rather than do another major project in two years. With the help of engineering consul-

tants, they started design work on the roof back in September, “which is pretty short for designing anything for construction.” As of last week, Van Horn said that construction was 30 percent complete. Though they have a small window to complete construction and have had some setbacks for rain, a dedicated crew and intensive work schedule keeps the project on track. “If you load it with enough crews, it can be done and that’s what our roofing subcontractor has done,” Van Horn said. State College Area School District spokeswoman Julie Miller said that moving the graduation ceremony didn’t change the ceremony date. However, due to the smaller size of the Pegula arena, the event was ticketed for the first time. Miller said this change may have inconvenienced some, but they live streamed the ceremony on their website for those who were unable to attend.

BOALSBURG — Just because an individual may have a sight impairment doesn’t mean that his or her struggles should be invisible to society. With this mindset, local chapters of the Lions Club met Sunday afternoon in Boalsburg to raise awareness for the blind in the local community. The Lions Club International was charged by Helen Keller in 1925 to be “Knights for the Blind.” In the nearly 90 years since then, the organization has grown to be the largest service organization in the world. Though the Lions’ charitable efforts extend all over the globe, local chapters maintain a strong sense of community and stage events to raise funds and awareness of those with sight impairment. One of these events, the annual Journey For Sight Walk, entered its 31st year Sunday afternoon at the Pennsylvania Military Museum in Boalsburg. Michelle McManus, who has been blind since birth, works with Penn State to ensure that its websites are accessible to the sight-impaired using screen-reading technology. McManus is heavily involved in sight disability advocacy, supporting the Lions’ annual walk and serving as the president of the Happy Valley chapter of the National Federation of the Blind. “People don’t realize that blind people can do all that we can do,” McManus said. “People see a disability and generalize.” The annual walk raises funds to help

support sight-impairment research and provide local individuals who can’t afford glasses or hearing aids with the proper tools for their disabilities, Journey for Sight chair Bev Corl said. Members from Lions Club chapters across Centre County spent the weeks leading up to the event getting individuals and businesses to sponsor their participation in the event through donations. Jeff Fetterman, president of the Ferguson Township Lions Club chapter, says that the event doesn’t have a particular monetary goal, and that bringing members together to support the cause is just as important. Corl said that the walk typically sees between 50 to 60 people, and this year was no different. Corl was glad for the turnout, and says this cause “is very near and dear to my heart.” She has a close friend who is blind who she takes grocery shopping once a week, and considers herself “blessed to have such a great friendship” that grew out of these trips. Though the threat of rain pushed the Lions to walk a bit faster than they might have otherwise, a parade of walkers, both blind and sighted, young and old, circled the scenic military museum lawn. Members of the Howard Township chapter led the way with mascot Howard the Lion, a motorized stuffed animal that roars and shakes his head as if in affirmation of the organization’s goals. “The whole county comes out and gets together for this cause,” Ann Reede said, explaining the importance of community to the Lions Club. “That’s what it’s all about.”

State Patty’s Day might be replaced with arts festival By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — State Patty’s Day could be a thing of the past in 2015. Penn State administrators and State College officials are in talks with an arts group to potentially replace a winter nuisance event with a community arts affair. Penn State and Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts confirmed Tuesday that talks are underway and an announcement of an official event could happen during the annual Arts Fest, which is slated for Wednesday, July 9, to Sunday, July 13. “The goal with State Patty’s Day has always been to reduce the popularity of the event to the point where it’s an unattractive option to out-of-town visitors and others alike,” Penn State Student Affairs vice president Damon Sims said in an email. “The efforts of the past two years in particular have whittled away at the event to where we believe it can be replaced with an alternative that’s not simply a drinking festival, but rather the kind of community festival a vibrant college town deserves. It should be appealing to students, visitors, and permanent residents alike.” Sims says he has reached out to Tom Fountaine, State College borough manager; Rick Bryant, executive director with the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts; and Tim Crockett, with the night club Levels, to develop an alternative event to State Patty’s Day. Bryant confirmed preliminary plans are in the works, “Everybody at the table, we all have the goal of making State College and Penn State a better place to live,” he said. Bryant and Crockett are leading a planning group, which includes representatives from the Central Pennsylvania Convention and Visitors Bureau, downtown vendors, students and other groups. The preliminary event would be a “Thaw” festival featuring music, film and comedy throughout downtown and on

Penn State’s campus from Friday, Feb. 27, to Sunday, March 1, Sims said. Sims says funding for the event has not yet been finalized. However, he says ticket sales and sponsorships are expected to allow organizers to recoup those costs. In 2007, Penn State students created State Patty’s Day as an alternative drinking celebration after learning St. Patrick’s Day fell during spring break. Since then, the event has created alcohol-related mayhem downtown. The university and borough — including Penn State and State College police — have made concerted efforts to reduce participation in the event by following a zero-tolerance policy and offering cash incentives, roughly $375,000 in all, for bars to close their doors during the event. The university and borough have said numerous times that once crime declines, the ultimate goal is to replace State Patty’s Day with an event that attracts a crossgenerational crowd. Over the last two years, authorities have reported a drop in crime and alcohol-related emergencies during the event. This year, crime dropped nearly 47 percent compared to 2013 and 63 percent compared to 2011, the year the event saw the highest level of related crime. Not everyone supports a festival to replace State Patty’s Day. Susan Venegoni, president of the Highlands Neighborhood Association, told borough council Monday night that the group opposes the plan. Venegoni argues a festival would still promote drinking and create rowdiness in the neighborhood. Additionally, she argues such an event would make it difficult for officials and the university to enforce previous policies, such as guest limitations for apartment complexes and campus residents. A festival, Venegoni said, is not a solution and instead a “can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” approach. “We do not support an event to replace State Patty’s Day,” she said.

School board discusses budget, technology and lunch price By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — At its regular meeting Monday night, the State College Area School Board discussed plans for the future, including the 2014–2015 budget and the increasing role of technology in the district’s educational goals and communications. SCASD business administrator Randy Brown said that salary increases and increasing health insurance rates, as two of the district’s largest expenditures, have driven much of the conversation on the school’s budget. A draft of the 2014-2015 budget was approved last month, and will appear for final consideration and adoption on the school board’s June 23 budget. Though health insurance rates for employees are increasing by 12.5 percent, total costs are increasing by only 10 percent due to fewer total individuals or families on the district’s plan. Retirement expenses are also increasing from 16 to 20 percent over the next year, Brown said. Megan Schaper, the district’s food service director, also addressed the board regarding a proposed increase of 5 cents to the cost of school lunch and breakfast to offset increasing operation costs. Though Brown said the district’s food service operations have historically been self-sufficient, rising costs may require

support to the food service operation from the district’s general fund. Despite the proposed meal price increase, which the board will also vote on in two weeks, Schaper says a projected loss of up to $200,000 is still expected. Further increases to cost of meals may result in fewer meals purchased, meaning these increases are unsustainable. Brown said nutritional regulations also create an increased cost to food operations. A number of construction and renovation projects are on the district’s radar, with projected expenditures ranging from $62.2 to $73.2 million over the next decade, assistant business administrator Donna Watson told the board. To plan for this, the proposed budget includes a roughly $5 million annual allocation to the capital reserve fund. To accommodate these varying expenses, the proposed budget includes a tax increase of 1.95 percent and a millage rate of 39.5056. Brown said that this proposed increase would mean an additional $54 in taxes for the owner of a home with an assessed value of $250,000. The high school renovation project, which was approved by voters on May 20, is separate from this tax increase. The 7.2 percent increase for the renovation works out to roughly $190 for a homeowner whose property is assessed at $250,000. This money will only be used to fund the high school project.

State College council delays decision on College Heights School By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — State College Borough Council informally agreed Monday to order an inspection of the College Heights School before making a decision on what to do with the property. At Monday night’s public work session,

at which the state’s Sunshine Law prohibits council members from taking any official action, council gave administrators the go-ahead to hire an inspector by the act of several members nodding their heads in the affirmative. That move allows the administration to Council, Page 6

The proposed 1.95 percent tax increase is the district’s second lowest since the 1998-1999 school year. Brown said that through careful management of the number of employees and use of revenue saved in the district’s fund balance, extra expenses can be effectively managed with moderate funding increases. The final 2014-2015 budget agenda can be viewed at www.scasd.org. District director of technology Nicole Steele told the board that proposed technology updates are in keeping with the district’s technological and educational goals. Currently, students use Chromebook laptops and other devices throughout the district. Eighth graders currently have a 1:1 student-computer ratio, while the high school uses laptop carts for various subjects. Steele said the district wants to expand to give Chromebooks to all sixth-, seventhand eighth-graders, while also expanding to a 1:1 student-computer ratio in the high school. Laptops the district owns that are nearing the end of their life cycles will be used in the 11th and 12th grades; those laptops will be replaced with Chromebooks in the coming years. “This option provides the most consistent amount of purchases and lowers technology costs compared to the last five years,” Steele said. Steele said that having this technology

available for students increases student and teacher collaboration and will enable learning at any time and place. Superintendent Robert O’Donnell also discussed the district’s relationship with technology by proposing to update the job descriptions for the communications director and website and social media coordinator positions. O’Donnell said the importance of transparency and communications became apparent during the community conversations that led up to the high school project renovation. By moving the website and social media coordinator to a full-time position, O’Donnell said that the district will benefit from having a dedicated online position for the first time. The additional cost of a new full-time position will be offset by an upcoming retirement and the reduction of a print shop position to part-time. Board member Jim Leous said that these communications positions will be increasingly important in maintaining the level of transparency set during the planning process of the high school project. These updated job descriptions and technology concerns will appear on the board’s July 23 agenda. The board also approved the Panorama Village project to go to bid, which will renovate a former elementary school to be handicap accessible and to accommodate some of the offices and functions currently located at the College Heights property.

Chamber Croquet Tournament Goes Into Overtime

Fifteen hard-playing teams of two competed in gorgeous sunny weather for the top honors in the Chamber’s Tenth Annual Croquet Tournament on June 1st in Talleyrand Park and took the play into overtime! In the end, the team of Lance Stover and Sharon Witmer, known as Keeeep’er Out of the Ditches, took 1st place and claimed a trophy medal and a cash prize of $100 each. The Mattress World-sponsored team of Melody Bodle and Melanie Muse, known as M Squared, captured 2nd place and received a medal and $50 each. Logan Branch Insurance Team #1 of Jim and Olivia attained 3rd place and received a trophy medal. This year’s tournament grew significantly over the previous year. Chuck Kormanski, Bellefonte Chamber President, noted that the decision to move the tournament to the beginning of June seems to have hit the right formula and benefitted by beautiful weather. The tournament was expertly refereed by the Bellefonte Sunrise Rotary Club.

IN ADDITION TO his mayoral duties, Bellefonteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tom Wilson, center, attends ribbon-cutting ceremonies, like the one held at the new Wines and Spirits store in March. Wilson, from page 1 for the past 21 years. Being a native of the town does have some advantages, Wilson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people stop me and will give me information or talk to me about concerns,â&#x20AC;? he said. This provides a good opportunity to discuss community issues and act as a liaison between locals and the borough, he said. Before being elected mayor, Wilson served four years as a borough council member. While he is still an integral part in borough council meetings, one of his chief responsibilities is to oversee the Bellefonte Police Department, which Wilson says is strong but has increasing demands, such as a limited number of staff and funds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The demands on the department are ever-increasing,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to try to do the most that we can do with the limited number of people and funds that are available.â&#x20AC;? Since Bellefonte is a land-locked borough, developable land to increase the tax base is limited, Wilson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prices of everything seem to rise, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a whole lot of ways to increase â&#x20AC;Ś revenue. We have to try to find innovative cost-cutting measures and ways to save money to develop revenue sources.â&#x20AC;?

Other challenges Wilson said the borough faces are aging infrastructure and funding of the volunteer fire department, both of which are critical to the area, he said. One infrastructure change Bellefonte will soon see is the erection of a flood wall along the waterfront district. Preliminary plans were brought to council last week by representatives from Buchart-Horn Engineering. Wilson said that after reviewing the plans, council gave some suggestions to improve the aesthetics of the wall and walkway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, a flood wall has to be functional, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping that we can also make it look attractive at the same time,â&#x20AC;? he said. While this project is still in the very early stages of planning, Wilson said he hopes to see it come to life in the next several years. Plans for the Bellefonte Armory, which the borough purchased last year, are also being made, Wilson said. The historic building and surrounding land holds the possibility of businesses and government space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that people buy into the town,â&#x20AC;? Wilson said. He has been involved in a lot of different capacities. Wilson is the former president of the Bellefonte Chamber of Commerce and the Lions Club. He is also a member of the Elks Club, American Legion and Historic Bellefonte, Inc. He suggests that people attend or volunteer at community events. To stress this point, Wilson said he visits elementary school classes and the youth center to discuss community involvement opportunities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do enjoy the ability to represent the town and â&#x20AC;Ś the interactions and conversations I have with people on the streets,â&#x20AC;? Wilson said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;whether they be complaints or great ideas for some projects to help invigorate the town in a positive way.â&#x20AC;?

spend roughly $5,000 to hire an engineer inspector to take a look at what renovations are necessary for the school. At issue is a pending sale between the State College Area School District and Penn State. The university has agreed to pay the school district $400,000 for the property â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which the district hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t used as a school in years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to house University Press offices. However, the borough has first right of refusal on the property. At the same time, the Collaboration of Arts, Social Services and Education, which is an alliance of several nonprofit groups, hopes the borough will take ownership of the building and in turn give CASE an opportunity to lease the building. Over the last several weeks, council has solicited feedback from Penn State, the school district, CASE, the College Heights Neighborhood Association and residents. Monday night was supposed to be councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final opportunity to discuss the matter before taking a final vote at its meeting on Monday, June 16. However, councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apparent decision to hire a building inspector will delay the decision. Borough manager Tom Fountaine said such a step would require the vote to be delayed until at least Monday, July 7. Council must make a final decision on the matter by mid-July. Several council members expressed concern regarding the financial stability of CASE. Specifically, council questioned whether the nonprofit group could afford the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repairs, which Penn State estimates would likely be more than $1 million. Meanwhile, CASE says it has $200,000 donated by two members, the United Way of Centre County and OLLI. CASE also says a bank has agreed to a $200,000 loan. If CASE were to acquire the property, the group says additional donations would come in and the group would be eligible for various grants. Several council members said Monday night they want CASE to present more concrete financial plans before council votes on the matter. If council decided to acquire the property and then lease it to CASE, borough solicitor Terry Williams says in advance of the purchase, CASE would sign a memorandum of understanding with the borough. Under the document, CASE would agree to maintain taxability of the property and pay rent over at least a 20year lease with the idea that the accumulated rent collected would cover the roughly $450,000 the borough spends to acquire the property. Special Olympics, from page 1 Games offer a chance to compete with fellow athletes. Berecky, who participates in softball and bowling, said he enjoys the opportunity to meet new friends while participating in sports that he enjoys. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of fun,â&#x20AC;? Berecky said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone is trying to win, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all out here supporting each other.â&#x20AC;? Berecky, 29, has been bowling since he was a child. Softball, however, is relatively new to him. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only been playing that for a couple of years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like bowling the best â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my favorite sport. But softballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re outside,â&#x20AC;? Berecky said. For some athletes, the 2014 Special Olympics Pennsylvania Summer Games were extra special. Jake Stewart, 20, of Pottsville was enjoying his first-ever games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is great,â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Godzilla of Earthsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opens new realities By The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a planet circling a star 560 light-years away in the constellation Draco that shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be there according to what used to pass for conventional wisdom in planetary formation. Dubbed Kepler-10c because it was initially spotted by the Kepler space telescope, the exoplanet is twice the size of Earth but contains 17 times our planetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mass. Further investigation by the team at the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo in the Canary Islands determined that Kepler-10c is a rocky world with an atmosphere. It is also believed that it contains water despite its high surface temperature. This wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be so shocking if the 11 billion-yearold planet werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so darn big. Because of its size, this mega-Earth, which is too hot to harbor life as we know it, has already earned the nickname â&#x20AC;&#x153;Godzilla of Earthsâ&#x20AC;? by scientists a little too tuned in to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing in the multiplexes. If Kepler-10c were part of our solar system, we would expect it to conform to the model provided by planetary giants like Jupiter and Saturn. Those giants are composed mostly of gas. Theoretically, planets of Kepler-10câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t supposed to be such solid, rocky specimens. Kepler-10c was formed 3 billion years after the Big Bang, a time on the cosmic scale that is considered too early for planets of its size and density to have formed. So, scientists are now confronted with the existence of an ancient rocky planet far older and bigger than Earth that should be a gas giant given its mass. There are probably billions more like it that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll begin to stumble upon in the coming years. To say our previous theories of planetary formation are in need of a drastic update is an understatement. Who says thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing new under the sun? Sometimes a planet that defies all expectations is circling that very sun.

Ta-Nehisi Coates has written the cover essay for this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s issue of The Atlantic, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Case for Reparations.â&#x20AC;? He argues that Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wealth was built on a foundation of white supremacy, starting with slavery, but not ending there. Coates documents a history of mortgage policies, social programs and other political choices that allowed white families to accumulate wealth while deliberately shutting out blacks, all continuing until the late years of the 20th century. The result? Massive economic disparities that have lingered between racial groups decades beyond the end of Jim Crow. Should America attempt to rectify those wrongs? How shall we grapple with the less-admirable parts of our history. Columnists Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk consider the issue. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already concluded that reparations are too expensive or too impossible, perhaps your sense of American citizenship is itself a cheap and flimsy thing. Ta-Nehisi Coates never says precisely those words in his provocative essay on reparations for The Atlantic, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear his mission isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just to argue what this country owes its African-American citizens â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also to get us to reconsider our own American citizenship, and how we express that identity. Coates would rather we grapple with the fullness of our American heritage. Instead, we tend to celebrate our noble triumphs while disregarding or excusing the sometimescraven flaws of our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last slaveholder has been dead for a very long time,â&#x20AC;? he writes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last soldier to endure Valley Forge has been dead much longer.

Ta-Nehisi Coatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 15,000-word essay in The Atlantic is an important, thoughtful read. The history of systematic economic injustice against black Americans is impossible to ignore or deny â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Coatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; article makes certain of that. But that still doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change the fundamental fact that reparations are indeed too expensive and politically impossible. His case is moving. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still not convincing. Coates, of course, is not the first to make the case for reparations, and he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the last. Reparations for

By The Kansas City Star Outlandish student loan debt is forcing millions of young Americans to live with the brakes on. President Barack Obama on Monday announced a step that will help some of those who need help the most. About 5 million borrowers with high debt and low incomes will be newly eligible for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;pay as you earnâ&#x20AC;? program, which caps loan payments at 10 percent of the borrowersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; monthly discretionary income. Young people looking for work or stranded in poorly paying jobs will get some breathing room. Though welcome, Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement will help only a small number of the millions of Americans saddled with a total $1.2 trillion worth of student debt. And a great deal of outreach will be needed. Only about 200,000 of 17.5 million borrowers already eligible for a pay-as-you-work plan are taking advantage of the opportunity. A bill that is expected to come up in Congress soon would have more of an impact. Senate Democrats are pushing to allow borrowers to refinance their loans at lower rates. Unlike Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal, this bill would also bring relief to graduates who borrowed from private sources rather than the government. Unfortunately, Republicans in both the Senate and the House oppose this proposal, partly because it would be financed by higher taxes on some investment income. Debt relief efforts will help, but what really is needed are tough measures to halt runaway college costs and to crack down on the predatory abuses of the for-profit college sector. Schools at all levels have to be mindful of administra-

American slavery are not an abstract question. In the end, it would come down to dollars and cents. Coates isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interested in pulling numbers out of the air â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that would be for this panel he proposes to figure out. But it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t uncharted territory. A political and legal effort to make reparations a reality gained momentum in the late 1960s, and again in the 1990s and the early part of the last decade before falling to pieces after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. One estimate put the figure at $97 trillion â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or $300,000 from every American not descended from slaves. Once you begin carving people into interest groups, groups begin to get interested. And so the old questions arise of what do the living owe to the dead, and what would reparations mean for future generations of Americans? Perhaps some injustices are simply too great to be repaired. Justice requires treating people as individuals, not as members of vast, undifferentiated groups. Reparations would turn that principle on its head. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To celebrate freedom and democracy while forgetting Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s origins in a slavery economy is patriotism a la carte,â&#x20AC;? Coates writes. Fair enough. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also fair to say Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Founders often articulated principles better than they lived them. Equality before the law has at times been more of an aspiration than a reality, and at times and under some circumstances it remains an aspiration. But aspiring to equality under the law, however imperfectly executed, is far better â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and considerably more just â&#x20AC;&#x201D; than a system of racial division and distribution that reparations would require.

tive bloat and unseemly executive salaries. State legislatures are correct to expect fiscal responsibility from their public institutions, but they must also finance schools adequately. The biggest drivers of student debt are the for-profit colleges, many of which are shameless in their quest to enroll low-income students in order to secure governmentbacked grants and loans. Students leave these schools swamped by debt and with slim prospects for attaining decent-paying jobs. The Obama administration is considering rules to prevent the worst offenders from securing studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; federal aid. Similar efforts in the past have buckled under the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fierce lobbying. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope the administration and Congress show more backbone this time. Easing the way for young people to pay off oppressive loans is good policy. Enabling students to graduate from college with more manageable debt loads is even better.

We were not there when Woodrow Wilson took us into World War I, but we are still paying out the pensions. If Thomas Jeffersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s genius matters, then so does his taking of Sally Hemingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; body.â&#x20AC;? Coates never argues for a specific program of reparations; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d leave the specifics to a committee appointed by Congress. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Perhaps no number can fully capture the multi-century plunder of black people in America. Perhaps the number is so large that it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be imagined, let alone calculated and dispensed,â&#x20AC;? he writes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I believe that wrestling publicly with these questions matters as much as â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if not more than â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the specific answers that might be produced.â&#x20AC;? There are many, many people who have commented on Coatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essay without bothering to read it, so quickly do we fall into our respective us-versus-them camps. So try something: Read Coatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essay. Wrestle with it honestly. You may not end up favoring reparations; it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cost anything, though, to take the question seriously.

Medical marijuana may help children with epilepsy HERSHEY — Last month, Gov. Tom Corbett gave his support for preliminary research into whether medical marijuana could alleviate symptoms of certain serious health problems, including severe seizure disorders in children. Dr. William Trescher, a pediatric neurologist at Penn State Hershey, says while some literature in experimental animal research indicates that substances from the cannabis plant can be beneficial to those who suffer from epilepsy, there is limited data about effectiveness in humans. That is, unless you tap into social media, where hundreds of parents of children with severe epilepsy compare notes and collectively report their results with oral administration of a medical marijuana extract called Cannibidiol, or CBD, oil. Trescher says it’s hard to know what to make of the informal trials and reports. “There is a tendency among physicians to discount them because they’re not being done in a controlled, scientific way,” he said. “But it would be dangerous to discount them.” When a child has multiple seizures every week, every day or every hour — and he or she doesn’t respond to medications available to treat epilepsy — parents can become understandably frustrated. “We’re not talking about giving this to the average child walking down the street, but children with serious and severe epilepsy,” Trescher says.

Could there be side effects or serious health problems that result from giving CBD oil to these children? Sure, Trescher says, but the problem goes both ways: “You could potentially harm them by giving them something, but not pursuing something and withholding a treatment that might be beneficial also has problems.” Although scientific studies backing the benefits of medical marijuana are hard to come by, Trescher points out the same is true for say, the effectiveness of acupuncture. “People don’t do things for 2,000 years that don’t work,” he says. “Now we have the experiences of all these parents, and you can’t be dismissive of that.” Trescher points out that what these parents are using isn’t the popular conception of marijuana — a plant that people smoke for its psychoactive properties. The cannabis, or marijuana, plant has several other compounds — including the CBD oil, which does not have psychoactive properties, but may have medicinal properties. He says Pennsylvania parents who want to treat their child with CBD oil face several obstacles right now. Some families are splitting up — one parent taking the child with seizures to live in a state where the CBD oil is legal while the other remains behind to work and care for siblings. Parents who decide to give the compound to their children are also concerned about whether their children will

Diabetes education program earns national recognition STATE COLLEGE — Mount Nittany Health’s “Life with Diabetes” self-management education program has been awarded continued recognition from the American Diabetes Association. The program was originally recognized in 2007. “Life with Diabetes” helps people with diabetes comfortably manage their disease, an essential component of diabetes treatment. Taught by certified diabetes educators of Mount Nittany Health’s Diabetes Network, the classes cover all aspects of learning to manage diabetes. Topics include: what diabetes is, how to monitor blood glucose, how to use blood glucose results to make changes in treatment, healthy eating and weight loss strategies, and understanding medications. While classes are regularly held at Mount Nittany Medical Center and at the Diabetes Network office, located at 120 Radnor Road in State College, off-site sessions are also available for people who live in rural settings and may not be able to travel to State College. Individual educational sessions are available as well, both at State College and off-site locations. The ADA education recognition effort, which started

in the fall of 1986, is a voluntary process that assures that approved education programs have met the national standards for diabetes self-management education programs. Programs that achieve recognition status have a staff of knowledgeable health professionals who can provide the latest information about diabetes management for participants. In addition, ADA-recognized programs such as “Life with Diabetes” are known for consistency in the quality and quantity of education offered to people with diabetes. Assuring high-quality education for patient self-care is one of the primary goals of the ADA’s education recognition program. Through the support of the health care team and increased knowledge and awareness of diabetes, the patient can assume a major part of the responsibility for his or her diabetes management. Unnecessary hospital admissions and some of the acute and chronic complications of diabetes may be prevented through self-management education.

PSU launches online masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in higher education UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; As the number of students enrolling in college trends upward over the next decade, the need for more administrators to serve these students will increase, too. A new Penn State online masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in higher education will help adult learners take advantage of that job growth and further their careers in the field. Faculty from the College of Education will teach the courses in the 30-credit degree program, which will be delivered online by Penn State World Campus. The first courses will begin in the fall 2014 semester. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the growth in enrollments will

result in the addition of 23,500 jobs in higher education administration through 2022, or a 15 percent increase. In 2012, there were 161,800 of those jobs in the country, and by 2022, that number is forecast to grow to 185,300. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will help students develop their leadership skills and potential in their intended career path in higher education,â&#x20AC;? said Fred Loomis, associate professor of education and online program coordinator in the College of Education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will also increase their breadth of understanding of how colleges and universities operate so that they can interact effectively with the other parts of the university.â&#x20AC;?

Adult learners in the masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program can concentrate in one of three emphasis areas: n Student engagement, such as admissions, advising and residence life n Institutional research and assessment n Administration and leadership Students also can design their own area of emphasis tailored to their interests. The masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in higher education at the University Park campus has been consistently ranked high by U.S. News and World Reportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best Grad Schoolsâ&#x20AC;? publication. The program was most recently ranked No. 3 in the 2015 editionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best Education Schools.â&#x20AC;? The college also houses the Center for

the Study of Higher Education, whose mission is to conduct research to improve post-secondary policymaking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Penn State was one of the first universities to offer a degree in higher education administration and one of the first to create a research center devoted to the study of higher education,â&#x20AC;? said associate professor John Cheslock, who is the director of the center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are thrilled to be building on our rich history by offering a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in education through World Campus.â&#x20AC;? The online delivery for the program includes on-demand viewing for classes and interactive forums with classmates. Applications are now being accepted.

Recumbent bikes roll through Penns Valley By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — A group of recumbent bicycle and trike enthusiasts gathered in Spring Mills on June 7 for a ride through eastern Penns Valley. They were part of a recumbent bike rally sponsored by the Recumbent Bike Riders bicycle shop in State College. RBR owner Rob Gentry and his wife, Alicia, were the organizers of this event, which takes place every June. The rally riders gathered near the Military Museum in Boalsburg, then departed on their bikes and trikes for rides of various lengths either on Brush Valley Road or on Penns Creek Road from Spring Mills to Coburn, and then to Millheim. At mid-morning, 15 riders unloaded their bikes and trikes at the Old Gregg School in Spring Mills. Many of the riders came long distances to participate in the rally. Joe McCormick, of Troy, Mich., and Ron Foster, of Southfield, Mich., made the trek to Centre County for this event. “We go to lots of rallies,” said Foster. “We’ve done rides in Ohio, New Jersey and Iowa,” added McCormick. Both men ride Vortex model trikes made by Inspired Cycle Engineering in the United Kingdom. McCormick said he has racked up more than 6,000 miles on his trike. Vortex trikes feature narrow road bike tires and 30speed gearing. In addition to the ride through beautiful scenery, the men said they enjoy the afterride picnic and musical entertainment at the farm of Stan and Darleen Smith in Oak

Hall. Other participants hailed from New York, Virginia and North Carolina, as well as from Pennsylvania locales, including Centre County. Recumbent bikes and trikes have gained popularity in recent years for several reasons. The reclined riding position distributes the rider’s weight through the entire spine, rather than concentrating it on the tailbone, and it takes weight off the rider’s arms. This provides a more comfortable ride. When riding, the pedals are pushed forward rather than downward, so the rider’s reaction force is against the seat, which produces very efficient pedal strokes. The recumbent position also greatly reduces the rider’s aerodynamic drag, thereby reducing pedal effort needed to sustain higher speeds. The low riding position of recumbent trikes places the rider just a few inches off the pavement, which increases stability due to a very low center of gravity, and having three wheels means the rider cannot fall over at very low speeds, such as when climbing steep hills. Gentry feels that recumbents are the way of the future. “The first bicycles used the same riding position that was used on horses,” said Gentry. “We’re finally starting to get away from that.” Recumbent bikes and trikes are somewhat expensive, but Gentry says prices are slowly falling due to increasing popularity of the laid-back vehicles. Safety and being seen by motor vehicle drivers are prime concerns on pedal-pow-

Most riders equip their trikes with flashing taillights and bright-colored flags on long masts to grab the attention of passing car drivers. Brightly colored helmets and clothing

also help the recumbent riders to be conspicuous in traffic. Recumbent trikes also are becoming popular with senior citizen riders, especially those with balance issues or physical limitations which might make them feel unsafe or uncomfortable on two wheels.

Rediscovering Happy Valley: Special Olympics UNIVERSITY PARK — Within the first minute of volunteering for Special Olympics last week, I was immediately reminded why I was there in the first place. As I was registering Friday morning outside of the Bryce Jordan Center, I said my last name out loud, which triggered the memory of Tommy Songer, who was helping people through the registration process. I had never met Songer, but he knew my name. More specifically, he knew my brother, Mark. Songer met my brother more than John Patishnock a decade ago, when is a Centre County Mark was volunteering native, and his for The Second Mile. stories on how Twice a week, Mark he’s reconnecting to the area will worked with youngbe showcased in sters at a downtown “Rediscovering workout facility, and Happy Valley,” a Songer said my brothcolumn that will er was one of the best run every other volunteers he’d ever week in The Centre worked with. I sent my County Gazette. brother a text message letting him know this, and he remembered Songer. The two met more than a decade ago, haven’t seen each other in years, but still recalled working with one another. The two made a connection, which is really what volunteering is all about for me. Mark also volunteered with Special Olympics in college, which is what motivated me to get involved after moving

home. That’s what made meeting Songer so serendipitous. I’m planning to volunteer every year that I’m still living in State College, and hopefully I’ll get to know Songer a little better. For the volunteering gig, I kept score for four basketball games at the IM building Friday morning and announced the lineups for two softball games the following day. The basketball games were played on the same IM court on which my brother and I played “horse” a few months ago; I won but he racked up style points with a half-court shot. I’ve previously written about how special Rec Hall is to me, and the IM building is in the same category. The Special Olympic athletes played hoops on the same courts where I spent years playing pickup basketball, and near where I played plenty of racquetball and ran plenty of laps on the track. The softball games took place on the fields north of Beaver Stadium, traditionally used for intramural sports and tailgating. One of the teams had a catcher whose arm had been amputated, but he didn’t allow that to be a hindrance. Batting lefthanded, he whacked a couple hits through the right side of the infield and routinely threw the ball back to the pitcher, cupping the ball in his glove and tossing it back. Once, when a pitch rolled a few feet away, the umpire began to throw back an extra ball to the pitcher, but the catcher insisted he could retrieve the original ball and throw it back. And, he did. Each athlete has his or her own story, how they’re overcoming their own challenges and dealing with setbacks while also celebrating their accomplishments. To me, that’s what makes Special Olympics the

Perhaps more than anything, Special Olympics nabs the top spot because it helps make Penn State more inclusive. When you grow up a few minutes near the campus like I did, sometimes you just assume anybody can attend the university, but for a variety of reasons, that’s not true.

and gained a fresh perspective. As I was announcing the softball games, I occasionally peered behind me, where Jeffrey Field and Beaver Stadium glistened under the sun on the other side of Park Avenue. The students and student-athletes who attend Penn State will return in a few short months, and the intramural fields and topshelf athletic venues will once again play host to plenty of sports action. It’ll be fun, exciting and bring together the community. Just like Special Olympics.

Centre Crest welcomes new administrator By CONNIE COUSINS correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — On June 5, members of the board of directors and auxiliary, as well as nurses, residents and friends of Centre Crest, joined together at a reception to welcome Lori Jamison to her new position as administrator. Following welcoming remarks by Dana Keeler, director of care management for Centre Crest, Centre Care Inc. board president Betsy Boyer introduced Jamison. “The board looked and looked for an administrator that would be the right one,” said Boyer. “We wanted a person who would treat all with dignity and respect, both employees and residents. We want the residents to have a good place to call home and for employees to be treated fairly and be happy in their workplace. We feel Lori is that person who is right for the job ahead.” Jamison said she is thrilled to take the reins. “I thank you for the kind words and I am very pleased to be here. I feel that being here is like coming home. Having a core group so committed is wonderful. I’m anxious to see what we can do here to meet the needs and expectations of the residents.” Jamison has worked in long-term care for 25 years. She started her career as a nurse assistant and went on to receive her registered nurse licensure 23 years ago. A licensed nursing home administrator since 2007, she first came to Centre Crest as a consultant for its nursing programs. Born and raised in Luthersburg, Jamison lives there with her husband, Jeff. Three daughters and three grandsons make up the rest of her family. The new administrator enjoys attending softball, baseball and tee ball games with her family and cheers for the Pittsburgh Pirates and NASCAR. Jamison considers raising her daughters to be strong, moral and responsible young women to be her greatest accomplishment. Janie Burns, president of Centre Crest’s auxiliary, said: “We were hoping for a lead person to provide support for the residents and their families and who would interact well with the employees. We are very glad you (Jamison) took the job.” Burns related that as she has walked down the halls of Centre Crest, she has seen the new administrator talking with residents and listening to their comments, or speaking with families.

Rebersburg students receive awards By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

REBERSBURG — Students at the Miles Township Elementary School in Rebersburg gathered for an assembly in the school’s all-purpose room on June 6. The occasion was the presentation of the Roger Bierly Memorial Scholarship Awards. Bierly was a Penns Valley Area High School graduate who served six terms as Centre County’s register of wills. He grew up in Rebersburg and attended the Miles Township Elementary School. After he passed away three years ago, his family established the awards for outstanding students at the school. The awards were presented by Bierly’s daughter Jennifer Bierly, a State College attorney. She also grew up in Rebersburg and attended Miles Township Elementary School. “When my dad died, my family wanted to do something special. The best thing we could come up with was to come back here every year and present awards to students who had the same qualities he had,” said Jennifer Bierly. “He was a hard worker and he was nice to everybody. He went to college, and went on to serve the public for many years.” One student from each grade was nominated by their

Penns Valley holds commencement for Class of 2014 By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — Penns Valley Area High School held its annual commencement on June 6 at the school stadium. The senior class, consisting of 113 members, received diplomas in the district’s traditional graduation ceremony. The ceremony began with class members proceeding onto the athletic field accompanied by the traditional “Pomp and Circumstance” played by the high school band. In a moving tribute to classmate Logan Bonar, who was killed in an automobile accident four months ago, each student carried a blue or white carnation, placing the flowers in a vase to make a large bouquet. The bouquet, a graduation cap and an honorary diploma were presented to Bonar’s mother by high school principal Dustin Dalton. A choir of seniors sang the National Anthem and the Penns Valley alma mater. Angelo Nicosia, president of the Class of 2014, addressed the class. “We must look back on the past, live in the present and look forward to the future,” said Nicosia. Brian Griffith, the district’s superintendent, took to the podium and congratulated the graduates on their accomplishments. He said that the class officers characterized their class with the word “togetherness.” “They felt like a family, willing to get along with everyone even if they had different viewpoints,” said Griffith. “Class of 2014, I encourage you to remember, celebrate and to incorporate the theme of togetherness into your lives going forward.” Following a Penns Valley tradition, members of the Class of 1964 were present on the field. Their class president, Jeffry Wert, an author, historian and retired teacher, addressed the crowd. “When you weren’t looking, Penns Valley sneaked up on you and became a part

of your lives,” said Wert. “When you walk off this field tonight, you won’t know it, you won’t feel it, but Penns Valley will walk with you.” Wert made a reference to Penns Valley’s unique event. “Who else can go anywhere in the world, and speak authoritatively about Grange Fair, which, honestly, is incomprehensible to most people?” said Wert. “But you can.” Wert shared what he has learned over the years. “Kindness and honesty go a long way toward fulfilling your lives,” he said. “I congratulate you. Be well, be loved, follow your dreams and Godspeed.” High school principal Dustin Dalton addressed the class, urging its members to follow their dreams and to leave their mark on the world. Dalton introduced the 10 class valedictorians, all of whom achieved a 4.0 grade point average during their years at Penns Valley High School. The valedictorians took the stage and presented a 10-part speech which they had jointly composed, with each student speaking in turn. “We may grow apart in the future, but we will all remember the time we spent here in Penns Valley,” said Seth Cooke. The other valedictorians followed, sharing memories of classes and teachers. One student shared the Mustafa Kemal Ataturk quote, “a good teacher is like a candle — it consumes itself to light the way for others.” “The student body is blessed with so many candles that will light the way for them, and never take that for granted” she said. Several valedictorians reflected on the bittersweet nature of graduation, which marks many “lasts” but is also a beginning. Penns Valley teacher Charles Romig was chosen by the class to read the names of class members as they each strode across the stage and received their diplomas from school administrators and board members.

Jersey Shore State Bank

888.412.5772 www.jssb.com jssb@jssb.com

Contact your local branch today. *The TimeLine Home Equity Line of Credit is a variable rate line of credit with a fixed rate option. This loan has a introductory APR and payment for the first year then adjusts based on the highest prime rate listed in the Money section of the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) plus a margin determined at the time you apply for the loan. To open the advertised product and receive the advertised introductory 1.99% APR (annual percentage rate) requires a line of credit of at least $10,000 and a maximum of $250,000. After the first year, your variable rate can change daily. For example, the current initial variable rate would be 5.00% APR. The maximum APR is 16%. This loan has a maximum term of ten years during which you can draw and repay the available credit limit. Any balance remaining at the end of that time that has not been paid must be repaid over a 15 year term. Fees to open this loan generally range between $0 and $1,000 depending on appraisal requirements and property location. You will be required to maintain property insurance on the collateral. You may also be required to maintain flood insurance on the collateral, if necessary, because of the location. During the 10 year draw period of the TimeLine, this loan allows the APR on all or portions of your outstanding loan balance (a “Unit”) to be locked. You may have up to a maximum of 3 Units at any one time.The maximum repayment term for a Unit is 15 years. The terms do not change until the Unit balance is paid in full. Fixed rate options are the fully indexed APR plus .50% for terms of 36 months; the fully indexed APR plus 1.00% for terms of 37-60 months; the fully indexed APR plus 1.50% for 61-96 months; the fully indexed APR plus 2.00% for 97-120 months; and the fully

Member FDIC

indexed APR plus 2.50% for 121-180 months. Different margins are used to determine the fully indexed APR based on the applicant(s) credit score (s) and the loan amount when the TimeLine Home Equity Line of Credit is opened. There is a lock in fee of $50 each time you lock in a Unit. During the TimeLine Home Equity Line of Credit draw period, payments reducing the principal balance on any portion of the balance, including Units become available by increasing the credit available on your TimeLine Home Equity Line of Credit. For a limited time we are offering the ability for applicants with over a 700 credit score to lock in a unit with a 3 year fixed rate at 2.49% APR; 5 years at 3.49% APR. The monthly payment for a $10,000 unit loan with an 2.49% APR for 3 years would be $288.58. The monthly payment for a $10,000 unit loan with a 3.49% APR for 5 years would be $181.88. This lock must be initiated by the customer. During this special the $50 lock in fee will be waived. The customer has up to 60 days from the time the 1.99% APR promotional rate ends to lock in the special lock in APR. Additional terms and rates available. Taxes and insurance are not included in the payment amount. The actual payment obligation will be greater. You should consult a tax advisor for the tax deductibility of this loan. All TimeLine loans are subject to credit approval.

Bellefonte Cruise: It’s all about the people BELLEFONTE — From 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Friday, June 13, it will once again be legal to “cruise” the block in Bellefonte during the 26th annual Historic Bellefonte Cruise. In its heyday, the event was universally referred to as “lapping the block,” not “cruising.” Try as I might, I couldn’t pin down the exact year this recreational activity started, but in the mid- to late-’80s, the Bellefonte Borough and the police department declared “lapping the block” as unlawful. The scene of the crime took place on Allegheny, Howard, Spring, Bishop and High streets — the same as this Friday’s cruise, except for High Street, Dave Provan is which will be closed this year. a member of the Lapping the block, as described to Bellefonte Cruise committee. He’s me by numerous veterans of the activity, been involved with the event since 2006. both male and female, was the thing to do. It was a really good time, and it was looked forward to every weekend. It was the early form of, dare I say, networking. That’s right, face-to-face gossip, the latest breaking news, the low down — all communicated without a cell phone. Guys, girls, fun without a keyboard — one can only, well, savor the feeling. The whole event was summed up by one individual I interviewed as “a dance on wheels.” Lapping the block created a social situation for guys and girls in a largely non-adversarial atmosphere that totally jammed the streets to the point that it eventually had the brakes put on it in a big way. First, the streets were made one way in certain areas, thus causing the yelling from car-to-car conversations to diminish. Then, the final and fatal slap in the face to this wholesome, fun and relatively innocent rite of passage took place. It was the dreaded “counting of the laps” by the police officers on duty that sent the block lapping nights into the history books. Anyone exceeding three laps was pulled over and fined. This went on for a while, but the drama of being pulled over and paying fines got old quick, and the lapping eventually came to an end.

Dave Provan

But, it only took about a year for some guys to come up with the idea that maybe the officials and townsfolk would allow a controlled, limited cruise and car show that would bring hundreds — heck, maybe thousands — back to town for a very special event. Legend has it that in 1989 it was because of Jack Houser’s push and pull that his friends approached the borough and did receive permission for a limited cruise. Thus, the Historic Bellefonte Cruise was born. The annual event has been hugely successful because of the thousands of spectators and participants who have come to cruise, dance and show their cars. The success is also due to many dedicated volunteers who have filled the ranks of the cruise committee during the past 26 years. Lest I forget someone, I won’t attempt to name all the folks who contributed their time and efforts or our many sponsors who provided monetary contributions and support. Instead, I thank all of the committee people over the years who worked hard with great diligence and passion to keep things going. Of the more than 20 people I spoke with about lapping the block, all but one had very fond memories and only really good things to say. Their voices perked up, and they got excited thinking and talking about it. They talked of cars full of guys, and cars full of girls, and pulling over at a parking lot for more in-depth conversations or to meet new people you had seen lapping. Nor was it uncommon or out of place to find dating couples lapping the block. It was a way for the guys and girls from Bellefonte to meet the guys and girls from the other schools — Bald Eagle, Penns Valley, State College and even Lock Haven. Because the people I spoke with covered quite a range of years lapping the block, there were a variety of responses, but the number one memory was that it was fun — and we all know you can’t beat fun. Some folks told of the wonderful dances held at the YMCA on Friday nights. Others never heard of those, but attended great dances put on for teenagers at the Logan Fire Company. Several talked of meeting boyfriends and girlfriends there and dating. Some knew of friends who had met their eventual

spouses while lapping the block, and then added that they were still married. My neighbor, who was from State College, spoke of coming to lap the block, to stand on a corner and shout to his friends, or even to prank Bellefonte by painting lion paws on the street — all in good fun. I now have to admit that over the past few years while working with the Historic Bellefonte Cruise committee, a great group of volunteers headed by Pat McCool, I finally had a revelation. No, it was more than that — maybe a full-blown epiphany. I knew everyone had a great time at the open cruise and hop on Friday evenings, and the car show Saturday was just plain awesome — all those pampered cars, trucks and motorcycles right here in beautiful Bellefonte. I was somehow viewing the weekend of the Historic Bellefonte Cruise as a “vehicular event extraordinaire.” Oh, I was so wrong! Sometimes, it takes me a while to see the obvious, especially when it is right in front of me. My epiphany — whether you were lapping the block in years past, or cruising this Friday, it isn’t about the cars — it is about the people. It is about talking, trading ideas, meeting new people, developing relationships and having fun — lots of fun. The vehicles bring us together to enjoy the camaraderie and common interests, whatever they may be. Lapping the block, or “cruising,” above all else is about people interacting with people. This year, the cruise committee has partnered with the Central Pennsylvania Institute of Technology. In addition to CPI being a sponsor, an opportunity for students and faculty has unfolded. This new and exciting relationship brings opportunities for students and faculty to showcase the CPI facility and its programs. We view this as an important community service, informing the general public of the state-of-the-art programs available to anyone wishing to further his or her education. We are excited to have this fine educational institution in our midst and a part of the event. Come check it out! The people are awesome, the cars are cool, and, as we all know, you can’t beat fun!

Bellefonte welcomes 26th annual Cruise By SAMI HULINGS shulings@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — More than just an event for Grandpa, Dad and other car enthusiasts, the Historic Bellefonte Cruise has grown into a widely anticipated event for the whole family. The 26th annual event will draw family, friends, neighbors and visitors to Bellefonte on Friday, June 13, and Saturday, June 14. Pat McCool, president of the cruise’s committee, said between 6,000 and 10,000 people are expected to attend this year’s cruise, something that may seem almost unimaginable for the small town of Bellefonte. But, year after year, the crowds return and McCool anticipates this year to be the same. Friday night will begin with a cruise throughout down-

town Bellefonte at 6 p.m. This cruise is open to any and all participants who would like to “lap the block,” just as it was done in yesteryears. Immediately following the cruise will be a sock hop at 8 p.m., featuring Jerry Carnicella and The White Shadow Band. To provide fun for the whole family, the event will also include face painting, music, balloons and shopping. Much of Saturday will include the car show and car judging. Once again, the Bellefonte Cruise will be professionally judged by G.S. Grifana Car Shows Inc. “There’s no bias in the judging or favoritism or anything like that. They actually take a critical look at the cars,” McCool said. “They are professionals. They do many shows. They are well-trained.” Like in years past, the committee worked to add new events to this year’s cruise. One of these new attractions will be the addition of a second stage. Located by the motorcycle area, next to the post office, this stage will feature the band Seven2Ten Saturday afternoon. Playing on the main stage on the diamond will be D.J. Ray Gephart spinning tunes. Another addition to this year’s cruise will be various seminars throughout the day on Saturday. Topics will range from the history of Bellefonte to car restoration. “This is a new addition to give the participants something extra,” McCool said. McCool added that these new events will now become yearly activities, as a way to make the cruise an even better, more family-oriented event.

Bald Eagle Area belts P-O, punches ticket for PIAA finals By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Bald Eagle Area knew that a two-run lead in the last inning was not enough. Not in the PIAA Class AA state semifinal game before an overflow crowd at Penn State’s Beard Field. Not after what has happened — and BEA itself has done — so far in these 2014 playoffs. And certainly not against PhilipsburgOsceola. So the Lady Eagles took no chances. They swatted three more hits, scored two more runs on RBI singles by Makala Smith and Marissa Tobias, and handed senior pitcher Makennah Dyke a much more substantial four-run lead into the bottom of the final inning. Dyke did not disappoint. She gave up a one-out double to P-O’s Tiffany Wagner but two lazy fly balls later nailed down one of the biggest victories in BEA softball history. The final was 7-3, and the win qualified the Eagles for a place in the PIAA Class AA championship game on Friday morning against Central Columbia. It was truly a team victory for BEA. There were contributions to the win up and down the lineup. Smith, Tobias, Haley Giedroc and Olivia Andrews each had two hits, while five players, Smith (2), Tobias (2), Logan Fischer, Andrews and MaKenzie Proctor, all had RBI hits. Giedroc and Smith scored five of the Eagles’ seven runs. For her part, Dyke’s complete-game effort held the imposing Mountie lineup to three runs on seven hits with four strikeouts and only one walk. “It was definitely important to get those two insurance runs,” Smith said, “because they are such a good hitting team. We needed those runs so that they could hit the ball a little bit, but we would still have room to hold them.”

TIM WEIGHT/For the Gazette

MEMBERS OF THE Bald Eagle Area High School softball team celebrate after getting out of an inning on a spectacular catch by outfielder Logan Fischer. For most of the game, one run looked like it would be enough. After five innings, Dyke and counterpart Maggie Peck each allowed one run on four hits, and each pitcher was hitting her spots. The sixth inning proved decisive for BEA. The Eagles sent eight batters to the plate and scored four runs on Smith’s first RBI (a groundout) and then consecutive two-out, RBI hits by Fisher, Andrews and Procter. P-O, down now 5-1 and down to its final six outs, countered with two runs in its half on a walk, a hit by Chelsea Henry, and then a two-run double by shortstop Abby Showers to make it 5-3 and set up the final

inning. “We go into everything just trying to get better,” Showers said, “and I mean we have T-shirts that say, ‘Get better every day.’ And we set goals every year to win the Mountain League, then the district, and then the states. But we already reached our big goal this year. We wanted to get better, and we did.” For P-O, Showers had two hits and two RBIs, while Kenzie Burge also had two hits and Henry, Wagner and Megan Bainey each had one. The Mounties finished the season 21-6 and as the District 6 AA runner-up and state semi-finalist. Not bad for a team that

has only two seniors and three juniors on its roster. BEA (22-4) now moves to the state final against Central Colombia (24-2), a 10-5 winner on Monday over Susquenita in the other semi-final. The game is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at Beard Field on the Penn State campus. “I don’t even know how I feel right now,” Smith said. “It’s crazy. It’s not even believable yet. No one even thought we would make it this far, and now that we got here, we can prove that we got this. It’s crazy. “We are really pumped about it. So excited.”

Makennah Dyke leads the way for BEA By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

TIM WEIGHT/For the Gazette

BALD EAGLE AREA pitcher Makennah Dyke has the Lady Eagles on the cusp of a state championship.

UNIVERSITY PARK — It’s half-jokingly said that softball can simply be boiled down to, “How’s your pitcher?” Bald Eagle Area coach Curt Heverly was asked just that after senior Makennah Dyke’s seven-hit, three-run performance in BEA’s 7-3 PIAA Class AA semifinal win over Philipsburg-Osceola on Monday night. Heverly’s answer could not have been much more effusive. “Philipsburg’s lineup up and down is just unbelievable,” he said. “They just crush the ball; I’ve seen them do it. Makennah makes them act like a normal softball team. “Three runs tonight, OK. The highest they had off her all year was four. How good is that? I mean, they’re great. They’ve got great hitters, they’re tough, they know what the strike zone is, and she (Dyke) has just been phenomenal. “That’s where the game starts, in the circle, and we throw a defense out there because she’s not that overpowering.” In fact, Dyke is not a classic, over-

whelming fast-baller, but there are no style points in the state playoffs. It is all about results, and you can’t argue with Dyke’s results. In the first round against District 7’s Seton LaSalle, Dyke was outstanding in the Eagles’ 2-1, eight-inning victory. Next was Wilmington, the No. 1 seed out of District 10, and again she gave up only one run in BEA’s 4-1 win. The four runs BEA scored must have seemed like a luxury. On Monday against Philipsburg, a team that saw her three times before, Dyke gave up a run in the fifth and then two more in the sixth. But her team scored six runs in the final two innings, and she entered the bottom of the seventh inning with a four-run cushion. Steady as ever, Dyke sewed up the game and the Eagles’ trip to Friday’s final against Central Columbia. “Honestly, I didn’t expect us to have that big of a lead,” Dyke said. “I expected it to be a one-run game. When we came out and started hitting, it relieved a lot of pressure on me and the rest of the team. “The whole team had a lot of confi-

dence, and we have been working so hard at practice to make sure that we didn’t get nervous and that we were prepared for this, and we definitely were.” Now, Dyke will start against District 4 champion Central Columbia, a team that scored 10 runs against Susquenita in the other semi-final at Beard Field. But Dyke feels that, after PhilipsburgOsceola, the Eagles will be ready for anything. “This game (P-O) has really prepared us a lot for the next game,” she said. “We worked together well in this game, we strung together hits when we needed to, and that’s definitely what we need to do in the next game.” Dyke is one of only two seniors on the BEA team, and getting to the state final is especially sweet. But it has been a long journey. “We have come a very long way,” she said, “from the beginning of the season. Then, we couldn’t even play catch and to now, where we are, where the coaches have helped us come, is amazing. It’s like a mile difference. “I’m speechless. This is like the greatest thing that’s ever happened.”

All the marbles: BEA and Central Columbia clash for title By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — After two close state tournament victories over Holy Cross (5-4) and Delone Catholic (4-2), Central Columbia’s offense came to life in Monday’s PIAA Class AA semifinal against Susquenita at Penn State’s Beard Field. The Lady Blue Jays overcame an early 5-4 deficit — and an uncharacteristic four errors — with two runs in the fourth inning and then four more in the sixth to prevail over the Lady Blackhawks, 10-5, and earn a

spot next to Bald Eagle Area in Friday’s final. MacKenzie Klinger hit a two-run single in the fourth to give her team a 6-5 lead, and then Megan Grozier capped off a four-run, sixth-inning rally with a two-RBI single that sent Central Columbia into the final. Blue Jay pitcher Paige Siegrist, who saw her team fall behind after committing those four early errors, regrouped and shut out Susquenita over the final four innings to get the win. “Our defense is pretty strong right now,” Klinger said, “and so is our offense.

We are going to keep acting like we have. “We realize what the complex is like and what the field is like, and we just have to stay determined to play like we did today.” The Central Columbia matchup against Bald Eagle looks like a contrast in styles. The Blue Jays have a free-swinging, aggressive offense that hits the ball hard and is known for outscoring its opponents. BEA, on the other hand, has been playing close to the vest and relying on pitching, defense, and an opportunistic offense that scores what it needs to. But Central Columbia will give up runs,

and it would not be surprising if the game turns into an offensive show. “I was waiting for us to break out today,” Blue Jay coach Duane Ford said. “We have been hitting at this clip most of the season. We had 13 runs at Minorsville and 13 against South Williamsport, both of whom are still in it. “This will be like home park for them (BEA). It’s one game. We are going to scout our opponent and see what they do well and see if we can exploit any weaknesses. We are going to practice hard the next few days and hopefully come ready.”

Penns Valley sisters receive college academic and athletic awards By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

ANNVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Three Lebanon Valley College softball players â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Katie Deardorff, Tessa Deardorff and Sam Derr â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have been selected to the Capital One/CoSIDA Academic AllDistrict team. The teams are voted on by sports information directors around the region, and recognize an outstanding combination of athletic and academic achievement. To be eligible, a student-athlete must be a sophomore or higher and hold a 3.3 or greater GPA. Penns Valley High School graduates Katie and Tessa Deardorff are the daughters of Tom and Robin Deardorff, of Spring Mills. All three players will move on to the Academic All-America ballot. It is the first time in program history that three teammates have earned Academic All-District in a single year. It is Katie Deardorffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third consecutive award, and the first for Derr and Tessa Deardorff. Senior Katie Deardorffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honor comes a day after she was named the MAC Scholar-Athlete of the Year in softball and on the same day she was selected first-team All-Commonwealth Conference. A physical therapy major with a 3.86 GPA, Deardorff is a three-time All-CC team member, and was a 2013 NFCA All-Region and NCAA All-Regional member.

Submitted photo

TESSA DEARDORFF, Katie Deardorff and Sam Derr were named All-District scholarathletes at Lebanon Valley College. The Deardorff sisters are Penns Valley High School graduates. She has had an outstanding senior season, anchoring LVCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s order with a .430 average, with 19 runs scored and 16 stolen bases. Junior Tessa Deardorff was also named second-team All-Commonwealth on Thursday, providing LVC with a lead-off threat hitting .361 with a .420 on-base percentage in 2014. She has scored 28 runs with 39 hits, including seven extra-base hits, and has stolen 20 bases. She also has had three outfield assists from her spot in left field. She is an elementary and special education major with a 3.74 GPA.

Derr, the 2013 and 2014 Commonwealth Pitcher of the Year, led the league in ERA (0.88) while compiling a 19-1 record with 12 shutouts in the circle. One of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most dominant pitchers this year, she had an 8.5:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio and produced six shutouts in conference play alone. At the plate, the senior batted a team-high .600 with 33 RBIs and three home runs. Derr is a business major with a 3.48 GPA. Derrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hometown is Lititz, Pa., and she is a graduate of Warwick High School.

STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Extreme sports are based on the belief that the boundaries can always be pushed. Bigger air, bigger trips, bigger tricks. It may take a decade to accomplish it, but a feat will rarely go unconquered. State Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jamie Bestwick continues to push his own boundaries, winning a ninth straight, and 13th total, X Games gold last week to extend his reign of BXM dominance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I broke the record last year, that was stressful,â&#x20AC;? Bestwick told ESPN. Bestwick set the X Games mark for the most consecutive wins last year with his eighth victory in a row at X Games Barcelona. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really wanted that record. Everything after that is just seeing how long it can hold up.â&#x20AC;? Bestwick won his most recent gold thanks in large part to opening with a best score of 92.66 on his first of two runs. By the time his third and final run came, he had the medal locked up, leaving him to take a victory lap in front of the estimated 12,000 fans in downtown Austin, Texas. After winning his first X Games medal in 1996, Bestwick now has 13 career X Games golds. At age 42, he was the second-oldest rider in the BMX Vert field behind Dennis McCoy, 47, who landed a 900 on Thursday night, becoming the oldest person to land the trick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m inspiring my generation of riders, and younger riders, too,â&#x20AC;? Bestwick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope they look at me and see that if you keep working hard and taking care of yourself and enjoying the sport, there can be longevity in it.â&#x20AC;? So if you see Bestwick walking â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or riding â&#x20AC;&#x201D; around State College in the coming weeks, tell him congratulations, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell him he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do something. Because he will probably prove you wrong.

He also won this year’s WPGA Spring Stroke Play title at Nemacolin Woodlands’ Mystic Rock Course.

Dozier, Blair Thomas and Evan Royster, will be golfing. Founded in 2012, the Eileen Morgan Foundation is a nonprofit organization established to provide those diagnosed with cancer with financial, emotional and spiritual support. The primary mission is to provide financial assistance to individuals, nationwide, who are diagnosed with cancer. The foundation helps alleviate financial burdens by assisting patients with their copayments for cancer treatments. Because the foundation is fully volunteer-run, more than 95 percent of donations are used directly to pay cancer treatment co-payments. Contributions to EMF are fully tax-deductible. In late 2009, Eileen Morgan was diagnosed with cancer. The journey to becoming cancer-free lasted nine months and was a life-changing experience. She realized how blessed she was to have the financial resources to cover all her treatment costs and also to have unending support from her loved ones to see her through. Grateful to have her health back, Morgan started the foundation to help other cancer patients.

Five State High athletes headed to college play By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Five State College Area High School athletes announced that they’re taking their game to the next level at a “last chance” Signing Day event on June 5. Alli Hester, Kyra Levi, Carrie Mahon, Austin Peck and Michael White signed on the dotted line just a couple days ahead of graduation ceremonies at State High. “This is just one more opportunity to showcase our student-athletes who are going on to college next year and participating at the next level,” said State College Area High School athletic director Peg Pennepacker. The student-athletes were introduced one by one. Some had their coaches by their sides, others had their parents. All five realized the significance of the afternoon. It was one of the last times they’d be in the building as Little Lion student-athletes. Alli Hester, a gymnast, is headed to the College at Brockport in New York. For Hester, being a collegiate gymnast has always been a goal. “I started when I was 3 with classes at Nittany Gymnastics,” Hester explained. “When I was 7, I started competing and I’ve done it ever since.” According to Hester, the College at Brockport is a perfect fit. “I really liked the family dynamic of the team. The coach is a lot of fun and and he’s very well-respected. The program is successful. I’m very excited,” she said. Kyra Levi, also a gymnast, is going to the University of Pennsylvania. “For me, it’s just continuing something

that I love. In addition to a school that I love, I get to be part of a team,” Levi said. State High doesn’t have a gymnastics team, which makes life challenging for athletes like Hester and Levi. “It’s a club team, but we still practiced after school like school sports do. It’s more family-oriented. We don’t travel together all the time on buses and things like that. But it’s something I’ve done for the past 15 years,” Levi said. The gymnasts weren’t the lone Lady Little Lions in the spotlight. Carrie Mahon, a standout lacrosse player, announced that she’s taking her stick skills to Marquette University next spring. “I’m really excited,” Mahon said. “It’s going to be more intense, a lot more competitive. But I’m excited about that.” Mahon said she has a passion for lacrosse. “It’s fast paced. It’s going to be a lot more work, but I’m willing to put in the work,” Mahon said. Little Lion football was also represented on June 5. Austin Peck and Michael White announced that they will be playing collegiate football at Juniata College. White said that Juniata was the perfectsize school. “I didn’t want one too big. I thought it was just the right size for me,” White said. “I’m very excited. They said that they can’t wait to see me.” Like White, Peck said that the size of the school was extremely appealing. “I like the size of the campus as opposed to a larger school. The coaching staff played a part, too. The first visit down there, the coaches were really nice and kept their interest. The coach kept in contact with me. It’s going to be a lot of fun,”

Baseball tryouts to be held

Franklin avoids war of words with SEC coaches By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

PENN STATE coach James Franklin has avoided a war of words with SEC coaches, who are upset because Franklin will help run a pair of football camps in SEC country. why they’re so worried about him coming to town. “I love the fact that it’s made national headlines, because that just helps us,” Franklin said when prodded one final time.

UNIVERSITY PARK — James Franklin didn’t bite at the chance; he didn’t even nibble at the chance. Given three opportunities to fire back, Franklin stayed on message as reporters asked him to respond to comments made by some SEC coaches. These coaches are upset because Penn State will legally help run two football camps well inside SEC borders. Standing just inside Holuba Hall on Penn State’s campus as the rain poured down on Sunday, Franklin wasn’t interested in making a mountain out of a molehill. “I’m excited that we’re able to create the opportunity to come to Penn State for kids that are not in this region, or maybe would not have the opportunity to come here otherwise,” he said. And that has been Franklin’s stump speech on the issue since the news became public that Penn State would head to Florida and Georgia to help co-host two camps. It’s within NCAA and Big Ten rules, but it isn’t something SEC coaches are able to do. The SEC rules don’t allow it. So, as Penn State sets up shop inside SEC strongholds, there is nothing the likes of Alabama, Auburn, LSU and Florida can do about it.

“Number one, there are rules in place, and we’re gonna follow the rules,” Franklin said. “If you look, there are teams around this country that have been doing this for maybe close to 10 years. And for whatever reason, we do it this year and it’s made national headlines. I don’t know why it’s made such big news this year.” While it hasn’t always been the case for Penn State, this time big news is good news. Consider this: Penn State is allegedly crippled beyond repair right now, a program that is fighting to be relevant against programs in the state, let alone those hundreds of miles away. But now the biggest names in college football are raising their voices in unison as Franklin takes his staff into the stronghold of the nation’s most powerful conference. It’s hard to imagine similar headlines if Purdue had made those arrangements. That’s a sign that Penn State’s current recruiting success is not going unnoticed across the country and a sign that it probably isn’t a fluke. So Franklin and his staff follow the rules, and in the process the nation’s best programs reaffirm what Franklin has been selling to recruits and fans since he got the job: Penn State isn’t crippled and the future of the program is a bright one, perhaps brighter than it has been in decades. Don’t believe him? Ask all these coaches

Franklin ready for the future By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Chances are a coaching staff is going to change over the years. Assistants are hired away to be head coaches or higher-level assistants at different schools. It’s all part of the job and the everchanging nature of college football. Overall, it isn’t a horrible issue to have to deal with as a head coach. It means you’re succeeding enough that your assistants are getting noticed. That being said, the ability to keep a staff together can be a crucial aspect of finding that success in the long term. Penn State head coach James Franklin understands all of this and, as a result, he’s already ahead of the curve. He’s put together a list of 15 coaches that could fill out each of the theoretically empty spots on his coaching staff. It’s a list that’s constantly updated and changed after meetings, conversations and run-ins with upand-coming coaches. “It’s all the time,” Franklin said during a Coaches Caravan stop. “It’s talking to somebody else and they’re talking about the most valuable guy on their staff is this guy and I’m writing that down. “It’s hiring a guy and he came from another school and you say, ‘Who was the best recruiter on that staff? Who was the best coach on that staff?’ So I’m always asking questions like this. I’m very inquisitive, but that list is constantly growing and evolving. Sometimes they come off that list because they become head coaches or they go to the NFL or whatever it is.” As a matter of fact, the list of 15 coaches is how now-Penn State defensive backs and cornerback coach Terry Smith found

himself back at his alma mater. “A bunch of people that have recruited Pittsburgh for a long time, everybody in Pittsburgh would always say Terry is a sharp guy,” Franklin said. “Terry is one of these guys you could see going on and being successful in college. You pretty much know. You go to high schools and you can tell which coaches you think can really make the move and be successful.” “You watched him as he walked around the school just how everybody interacted with him, the respect that he had. He had a presence to him.” And with Smith on the staff, he comes off of Franklin’s list of 15 and another name goes on. Franklin doesn’t mind his assistants making career moves in the grand scheme of things, but there are situations Franklin isn’t going to be thrilled about unfolding. “We can’t have anybody leave for lateral moves, so we’re going to make it really difficult for guys to leave for lateral moves,” Franklin said. “I want them to feel like they can reach all their dreams at Penn State as well. We want to hold onto them as long as we possibly can, but I also want them to be able to do what’s best for them and their families as well. “If an opportunity comes across that’s too good for them to turn down and makes sense for their family, there’s not going to be anybody that’s going to be more excited and more supportive of that than me. But until then, you want to try and keep the family together as long as we possibly can because it’s a special group of men.” There’s no reason to assume Penn State’s staff is going to change in the next 12 months, but Franklin is already prepared for it, even if it doesn’t happen for another five years.

50 Years of Beatles: It’s getting better all the time By KENNETH WOMACK Special to the Gazette

Womack’s essay series, “50 Years of Beatles,” continues with a look at fill-in drummer Jimmie Nicol. Five decades ago, as The Beatles prepared to embark upon their first world tour, the unthinkable happened when Ringo Starr suddenly fell ill, thrusting one man from virtually anonymity into international stardom in the blink of an eye. On the morning of June 3, 1964, The Beatles’ lovable drummer collapsed during a photo session for the Saturday Evening Post. Suffering from acute bouts with tonsillitis and pharyngitis, Ringo was transported to London’s University College Hospital under orders for strict bed rest. The bandmates and their manager, Brian Epstein, briefly considered canceling the tour before producer George Martin suggested bringing in a replacement drummer for the upcoming concert tour, which was scheduled to begin the next evening in Copenhagen. Martin called up 24-year-old Jimmie Nicol, a drummer who the producer had recently employed for a Tommy Quickly recording session. Born in Battersea, London, on Aug. 3, 1939, Nicol began his professional career in 1957, when music promoter Larry Parnes invited him to become a member of Colin Hicks and the Cabin Boys. Parnes would later be instrumental in arranging for The Silver Beetles’ 1960 Scottish tour as Johnny Gentle’s backing group. During the early 1960s, Nicol shared his talents by playing as a studio musician for a host of artists, including Vince Eager, Oscar Rabin and Cyril Stapleton, among others. In mid1964, Nicol founded the jazz-oriented Shubdubs with former Merseybeats bass guitarist Bob Garner. But nothing could compare, of course, with his life-changing experience with the Fab Four in June 1964. As Nicol later recalled, “I was having a bit of a lie down after lunch when the phone rang.” Within a matter of hours, Nicol found himself face-to-face with John

Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison. “I was floored,” Nicol remembered, “The Beatles were actually there to meet me! Me mind was blown. I would have played for free for as long as they needed me. I shook all their hands and blurted out tones of admiration that I think made them embarrassed. They were very nice.” Not surprisingly, Epstein wasted little time in getting down to business. “When Brian talked of money,” Nicol recalled, “I got very, very nervous. They paid me 2,500 pounds per gig and a 2,500 pounds signing bonus. Now, that floored me. When John spoke up in a protest by saying ‘Good God, Brian, you’ll make the chap crazy!’ I thought it was over. But no sooner had he said that when he said, ‘Give him 10,000!’ Everyone laughed and I felt a hell of a lot better.” That same afternoon, Epstein hired a barber to reshape Nicol’s mane into the famous Beatles cut. As Nicol later remarked, “A hairdresser cut me hair in a mop-top. In the mirror, I cut a mean figure as the new Beatle. I was on top of the music world, for sure.” At 3 p.m., Nicol joined his new bandmates at Abbey Road Studios for a quick rehearsal of the group’s latest set list, which included “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” “She Loves You,” “I Saw Her Standing There,” “This Boy,” “Can’t Buy Me Love” and “Long Tall Sally.” In total, Nicol played eight shows with the band until Ringo was cleared to rejoin the group in Melbourne, Australia, on June 14. At the airport, Epstein presented him with a gold wristwatch with the inscription, “From The Beatles and Brian Epstein to Jimmie — With appreciation and gratitude.” It had been a bizarre experience for everyone involved, including Starr, who admitted that “it was very strange, them going off without me. They’d taken Jimmie Nicol and I thought they didn’t love me any more — all that stuff went through my head.” As Martin later recalled, “Jimmie Nicol was a very good drummer who came along and learnt Ringo’s parts very well. He did

NOT MANY people realize that when Ringo Starr fell ill and couldn’t tour, The Beatles replaced him with fill-in drummer Jimmie Nicol. the job excellently, and faded into obscurity immediately afterwards.” As McCartney added, “It wasn’t an easy thing for Jimmie to stand in for Ringo, and have all that fame thrust upon him. And the minute his tenure was over, he wasn’t famous any more.” As Nicol observed years later in an interview with Mojo magazine, “Standing in for Ringo was the worst thing that ever happened to me. Until then I was quite happy earning 30 or 40 pounds a week. After the headlines died, I began dying too.” In his post-Beatles life, Nicol continued his work with The Shubdubs, with whom he released a pair of unsuccessful singles. In July 1964, Nicol was briefly reunited with The Beatles when the Shubdubs were on the same bill as The Beatles during a concert at Brighton’s Hippodrome. Coincidently, Nicol would serve as a stand-in, yet again, for the Dave Clark Five after their touring drummer fell ill. In 1965, Nicol joined the Swedish band The Spotnicks,

with whom he went on several tours. In 1967, he left the band to pursue his interests in studying samba and bossa nova music in Mexico, spending much of the rest of his life in relative obscurity and never taking advantage of his brief brush with fame. As it happens, Nicol’s fortnight with The Beatles would be memorialized in the song “Getting Better” from “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”. “Getting Better” came into being on a spring day in 1967 when McCartney recalled the optimistic words of Nicol, who employed “getting better” as his stock-phrase during his brief stint as Starr’s replacement during the early summer of 1964. Kenneth Womack is the author of numerous works of nonfiction and has also written three novels. A professor of English and integrative arts at Penn State Altoona, Womack was selected in April 2013 to serve as the sixth Penn State laureate.

It is always special for me to be with an audience where many are having that amazing revelatory firsttime encounter.” Tickets for the Center for the Performing Arts presentations — on stage September 2014 through April 2015 at Eisenhower and Schwab auditoriums — went on sale June 9 to Center for the Performing Arts members. Starting Monday, June 16, tickets will be available to Choice series patrons, followed by sales starting on Thursday, June 19, to groups of 10 or more and on Wednesday, June 23, to the general public. Tickets also go on sale for a Penn State School of Music featured concert, “Mosaic,” and the Penn State College of Arts and Architecture’s production of “La Bohème.” Eligible patrons may purchase tickets by phone at (814) 863-0255 or (800) ARTS-TIX, in person at Eisenhower or the Penn State Downtown Theatre Center, or by mail-in order form. Visit www.cpa.psu. edu for complete details about the events or to download an order form. The season opens Thursday, Sept. 25, with Regina Carter. Considered one of the foremost jazz violinists of her generation, Carter draws from a well of influences including classical, jazz, Motown, swing, funk and world music. In “Southern Comfort,” she includes a blend of folk songs

and spirituals serving as an interpretation of her ancestors’ Alabama roots through a modern lens. Touring Broadway musical presentations include the crowd-pleasing “Mamma Mia!” on Thursday, Oct. 23, followed by a new adaptation of “Camelot” on Tuesday, Nov. 18. Making its Center for the Performing Arts debut this season is Broadway’s musical comedy smash hit “Sister Act” on Tuesday, Feb. 10. Experience a hilarious evening of madcap fun with “Peter and the Starcatcher” on Tuesday, April 21. Tony Award-winning actor and Broadway baritone Brian Stokes Mitchell performs songs from memorable musicals in “Simply Broadway” on Friday, Oct. 17. Mitchell earned a Tony for best actor in “Kiss Me, Kate,” was nominated for his performances in “Man of La Mancha,” “Ragtime” and “King Hedley II,” and is also known for his extensive television and film career. Cirque Alfonse’s “Timber!” on Wednesday, Oct. 8, features Quebec acrobats and folk musicians who defy gravity and perform feats of agility and strength inspired by the exploits of the first North American lumberjacks and farmers. Diavolo, a Los Angeles company that performs works it describes as “architecture in motion,” reinvents dance, reimagines theater and redefines thrills on Tuesday, Jan. 27. The season includes seven classical concerts and an array of artist interaction opportunities. The Moscow State Symphony Orchestra, one of the oldest concert orchestras in Russia, performs works by Dvoák and Brahms on Tuesday, Nov. 11. American cellist Joshua Roman joins the orchestra for a Saint-Saëns concerto. The ensemble Eighth blackbird presents a work by Aaron Jay Kernis, co-commissioned by the Center for the Performing Arts through its membership in Music Accord, during its Thursday, April 2, performance.

chamber music,” on Tuesday, April 14. Amy Dupain Vashaw, audience and program development director for the Center for the Performing Arts, says she is most excited when the center presents an artist that gives a global perspective. “To that end, I am really excited about the February performance of Antibalas and Zap Mama,” she said. “These two artists coming together will bring the sounds of Africa to us, both in their very distinct and funky way. That’s the kind of risk we love to take — presenting artists many people won’t know, and when the audience experiences it, they just get blown away.” The King’s Singers, one of the world’s most celebrated vocal ensembles — known as a class act with a delightfully British wit — will dazzle the audience with “Great American Songbook” on Tuesday, Feb. 17. The Chieftains bring a Celtic flair to the stage on Tuesday, March 3, as part of the band’s annual North American tour leading to St. Patrick’s Day, and American Music Association award nominee Rosanne Cash performs “The River & The Thread” tour on Thursday, April 9.

Their multimedia reports and reflections connect a broader public to the longest war in U.S. history in a unique performance on Wednesday, Oct. 29. Egyptian ethnomusicologist Mina Girgis explores the cultural and environmental challenges of the Nile basin using an innovative approach of music, education and enterprise in the Thursday, April 23, presentation of “The Nile Project.” The concert features 10 musicians and various traditional instruments from countries along the Nile.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State Public Media recently added four awards to its repertoire. “For the Next Watershed, a Conewago Creek Story,” “Stay SAFE” and “Clery Act Training” were honored at the 35th annual Telly Awards, which recognizes outstanding regional television and cable programs, and non-broadcast video and film productions. “For the Next Watershed, a Conewago Creek Story” received two Bronze Telly Awards, one in the education category and one in the green/eco-friendly category. The video was produced as part of the Conewago Creek Initiative, a partnership of more than 30 organizations created to increase watershed engagement in southcentral Pennsylvania. Penn State Public Media released several videos documenting the work of the initiative. Diane Espy was the director and producer of “A Conewago Creek Story.” Mark Stitzer was director of photography and Jeff Preston was editor. “The Telly Awards represent a high level of dedication and creative work that has been contributed by many people,” said Espy. “The recognition in excellence also acknowledges the efforts by the Conewago community as a whole, whose work has been truly meaningful.” “Stay SAFE” won a Bronze Telly Award in the safety category. The video is part of the “Active Shooter” training program provided to Penn State faculty, staff and students across Pennsylvania. The program offers the most up-to-date tactics on surviving an armed attack and is facilitated through in-person and online training sessions. “Receiving this award is great recognition for the mission of the program, the training it provides and for Penn State Public Media. I am honored to be a part of such a great cause and helping to educate people on this topic,” said James Espy, director and co-producer. Kevin Conaway and Claire Gysegem also served as producers on “Active Shoot-

The online training, which is required for all Campus Security Authorities at Penn State, covers the history of the Clery Act, its requirements, the responsibilities of a CSA and best practices. “Our goal for these videos was to find a compelling way to tell the story behind the Clery Act and communicate the important role CSAs play in campus safety,” said Lindsey Whissel, director and producer of the training videos. Joe Mayo served as the videographer and editor alongside Whissel on this project. The annual Telly Awards receives thousands of entries from all 50 states.

Erdley receives Governor’s ImPAct Award STATE COLLEGE — Videon Central recently announced that CEO and president Todd Erdley has won one of this year’s Governor’s ImPAct Awards. These awards recognize outstanding contributions to Pennsylvania industries and communities. Erdley’s award for Entrepreneur Impact in the Central Region recognizes “an entrepreneur who has led his or her company to a position of strength in the marketplace.” The award particularly emphasizes skills such as “creativity, innovation, managerial ability, leadership skills and turnaround.” In Erdley’s case, the award honors both his community contributions and Videon’s long-term success. Erdley has been active in the local entrepreneurial community for many years. He began the Centre Region Entrepreneurial Network to help entrepreneurs cooperate and share best practices. CREN now includes more than 75 companies representing upwards of 1,000 people. Erdley has extended this work by identifying a need for private industry growth in central Pennsylvania. Based on this need,

he initiated the 3B33 movement in State College, which aims to establish $3 billion in annual private economic output by 2033. The Chamber of Business and Industry for Centre County has adopted the initiative, and 3B33 is now a shared goal for the community. Videon’s success is also part of this award. For 15 years, Videon was best known as a leader in the consumer electronics market, and its Avia media player has been downloaded more than a million times. Recognizing fundamental changes that were impacting the market, Erdley shifted the company’s focus to automotive infotainment, in-flight entertainment and video infrastructure. His vision and leadership were crucial drivers of Videon’s past success, as well as its successful pivot. “I am honored to receive this award,” Erdley said. “More than an individual recognition, it shows the hard work of the team at Videon and entrepreneurs across my region in establishing strong, sustainable and successful business practices.”

TODD ERDLEY, CEO and president of Videon Central recently captured one of this year’s Governor’s ImPAct Awards. Erdley is the founder of the the Centre Region Entrepreneurial Network.

Renewable energy certificate programs now available UNIVERSITY PARK — By 2040, 63 percent of the nation’s electricity will be generated by lower-carbon options, including 16 percent from renewables, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reports. This shift will result in double-digit demand for environmental engineers, industrial ecologists, regulatory affairs specialists, sustainability specialists, urban and regional planners and other workers, according to U.S. Department of Labor projections. Penn State is launching four graduate certificate programs in bioenergy, solar energy, wind energy and sustainabiity management and policy, through Penn State World Campus, to prepare adults for these jobs. “Penn State’s programs are designed to provide working professionals with the latest knowledge and skills needed for success in the renewable energy field,” said Daniel Ciolkosz, academic program coordinator for Penn State’s online intercollege Master of Professional Studies in Renewable Energy and Sustainability Systems (iMPS-RESS). “Students can start with a

certificate and continue in the master’s program or, if they have a master’s degree, they can use the certificate as a standalone educational credential.” These online programs are part of the iMPS-RESS, and all courses in the certificate programs can be applied toward the iMPS-RESS, which has four options. The certificates are aligned with the green energy and sustainability management sector, which needs professionals with broad skill sets focused on sustainability, as well as technical capabilities. The certificates can help adults build additional skills in such areas as project development, sustainability assessment, systems engineering and strategic planning. Students who enroll in an online certificate will interact with other students and faculty online, gaining valuable knowledge and expertise and making connections that can benefit them in the future, Ciolkosz said. Applications are now being accepted. For more information, email info@ress. psu.edu.

When firm behaves badly, whole industry may suffer By VICTORIA FRYER Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — The announcement of a firm’s misconduct can have a negative effect on the value of other public firms in the same industry due to decreased investor confidence, according to Penn State Smeal College of Business researchers. Srikanth Paruchuri and Vilmos Misangyi, both associate professors of management and organization, investigated the contaminating effects of one firm’s misconduct on “bystander firms” or firms in the same industry that have not been accused of wrongdoing. “When one firm reveals financial misconduct, a generalization of culpability ensues such that investors worry that all firms in the same industry category as the

misconduct firm are also likely to have engaged in similar misconduct,” the researchers wrote in reporting their findings in a forthcoming issue of the Academy of Management Journal. Paruchuri and Misangyi also found that more familiar firms generate a stronger association with bystander firms among investors’ perceptions. In other words, bystander firms are more negatively valued based on another firm’s misconduct if the offending firm is larger, and therefore more familiar to the investor. “In the context of investor perceptions of financial misconduct, investors will see those perpetrator firms with which they are familiar as being representative of the industry as a whole, and this familiarity therefore makes the culpability of the perpetrator more potent for generalization,” the researchers wrote.

By StateCollege.com STATE COLLEGE — For the longest time, gluten-free foods were hard to come by in downtown State College. Many of the restaurants downtown did little in the way of gluten-free baking and the weekly farmers market wasn’t enough to meet the daily demand of someone with a gluten-free diet. The newly opened Good Seed Baking Co., located at 129 S. Fraser St., plans to change all that. Good Seed Baking Co. is a collaboration of two local chefs, Bob Ricketts and Louisa Smith. Ricketts, the owner of Fasta Ravioli & Co., was looking to add gluten-free pasta to his menu while Smith, owner of local bakery Bell & Whistle, was in need of a bigger space due to increased demand. With a little help from friend Laura Young, the two were able to come together to create the Good Seed Baking Co. All three are Penn State graduates. As for the menu, Good Seed offers gluten-free options ranging from pastries to pasta. Additionally, there are vegan items available. Good Seed Baking Co. is now open and will celebrate with a grand opening on Friday, June 27.
