Plans for flood wall in Bellefonte revealed to public By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — Plans for a flood wall and walkway were unveiled to the community last Wednesday as part of the Waterfront Improvement Project in downtown Bellefonte. Representatives from Buchart-Horn Engineering, the Bellefonte Industrial Development Authority and the borough were available to field the public’s questions and concerns about the proposed plans. Bellefonte Borough manager Ralph Stewart said that the idea for the Waterfront Improvement Project began after the Bush House Hotel, which sat on the vacant lot above Spring Creek between West High and West Lamb streets, burned down in 2006. Mayor Tom Wilson added that the area is prone to flooding, and the borough is required to build the flood wall before any development on the vacant land can take place. Flood, Page 4

Gluten-free bakery opens in State College

LIGHT UP NIGHT

By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Five years ago, “gluten-free” was not a household term. Today, however, there are gluten-free sections at markets, gluten-free menus on restaurant items and gluten-free stores. “The gluten-free market has been growing for some time,” said Louisa Smith, a pastry chef and co-owner of Good Seed Baking Co., a new dedicated gluten-free bakery located in the former Fasta & Ravioli Co. site at 129 S. Fraser St. in State College. Smith said she got into the gluten-free market “kind of by accident.” While making conventional baked goods, she started making macaroons, which are naturally gluten-free, and sold them at area farmers markets.

The raid was conducted on June 12. “Last week,” spokeswoman Nicole Navas said via email, “ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) special agents conducted an enforcement action at numerous locations in the State College, Pa., area.

Bellefonte Cruise delights classic car lovers By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — Another Bellefonte Cruise is in the books. The 26th annual Historic Bellefonte Cruise took place over the weekend and was a big success once again. An estimated 6,000 to 10,000 car enthusiasts visited Bellefonte over the weekend. The event kicked off on Friday evening with the open cruise, which was followed by the sock hop. On Saturday, classic cars and motorcycles lined the streets of downtown Bellefonte as owners competed for awards in several different classes. The people who attended the show came for a variety of reasons. Sam Milner, of Bloomsburg, visits Bellefonte every year for the cruise. “It’s really a tradition for me and my family,” Milner said. “(My) family let’s me pick what I want to do for Father’s Day weekend and I pick the cruise every single year. I look forward to it. I don’t own a classic car, so it’s fun to check them out. I always tell my kids, ‘Someday I will have one of these.’” Milner said he has an affinity for Ford Mustangs. “My uncle had a Mustang when I was growing up, so I love to look at those and reminisce. I spent a lot of time riding around with him, so seeing those cars brings back really good memories,” Milner said. On Saturday afternoon of the cruise, a disc jockey played music on the diamond. Meanwhile, down the street near the post office, the band Seven2Ten performed. The live band was an addition to this year’s cruise. Katie Glover, of Lock Haven, stood on the sidewalk and danced as the band ripped through several classic hits. “I never heard of them, but I think they’re really good,” Glover said of the band. “I love classic rock, so this is a great way to spend the afternoon. I’ve been here

THE WINNER of the Jack Houser Award for Best of Show at the recent Bellefonte Cruise was Denny Corl, of State College, with his 1971 Chevy truck. before, but I think the live music really adds something to the atmosphere.” Glover said she didn’t realize there was live music and just happen to stumble upon it. “I was actually headed down to check out the motorcycles and heard the band. I thought they sounded good … I watched the whole set. It was a lot of fun,” Glover said. For car lovers like Pete Cohan, the cruise presents an opportunity to show off their hard work.

Cohan spent the past year cleaning, waxing and detailing his 1965 Ford Mustang to get it ready for the weekend. He enjoyed spending the weekend showing off his dark blue, racing-striped classic. Owning the vehicle, he said, was a lifelong dream. “I wanted to buy this car back when I was in college, but there was no way I could afford it,” Cohan said. “After weddings and college tuition, now (my wife and I) could finally do what we wanted to do.”

For some, the cruise isn’t just about the cars or motorcycles. Jenny Winkler, of State College, was busy perusing the many choices at the food court. Her children wanted sno-cones. Winkler was eyeing something more substantial. “I think I’m going to get some fries,” Winkler said. “Don’t get me wrong, I like to look at the cars; they’re great. But as much as I love the cars, I love food even more. Back here (at the food court), it’s heaven for me.”

Flood, from page 1 The first step in the Waterfront Improvement Project is for the flood wall and walkway to be built, which will provide access to Spring Creek. The vacant land above the wall will then be sold to developers to revitalize the waterfront. However, the borough will still own the wall and walkway. Some of the concerns that community members expressed had to do with the lighting chosen for the wall and walkway. Currently, the plan is to put recessed lighting in the flood wall. There were several suggestions, though, for Victorianstyle lights to be put at the top of the fence, which will run along the top of the flood wall, to add some character. The Buchart-Horn designers, IDA and the borough are wary of this, however, because it is unclear what developers will want to use the space above the flood wall for and if the Victorian-style lights will interfere with their designs. There was also a concern about how many sets of stairs will be built into the plan. Currently, there is one set that will go from the High Street bridge down to the walkway. Once developers start making plans for the land above the wall, though, there is a possibility that they will add more stairs. Community member Philip Ruth, whose office sits across from where the flood wall will go, attended the meeting and said that what’s proposed will be a “big improvement” over what’s there now. “It seems like a good solution,” Ruth said. He also added that once there are buildings going in, he doesn’t think that anyone will worry about lighting on the flood wall anymore. “This will be an afterthought once development goes in,” he said. Stewart said in an email the day after the meeting that he thought it was successful. “A nice number of community members came out to see where we are at with the project, and we did the best we could to answer their questions,” Stewart said. “We are very excited about the project and its potential for having a major economic impact on the community. We expect to see new development, more fly fishing, kayaking and people just enjoying the walkway along the stream.” Wilson said that he hopes everyone will stay positive about the project. “The new development will be an asset to the town,” he said. “People have to trust that we have the best interest of the Bellefonte community at heart.” A representative from Buchart-Horn Engineering could not be reached by press time to see if and what community member suggestions would be taken into consideration.

GOOD SEED BAKING CO. offers a variety of gluten-free products, including muffins and other pastries. The store, which is located at 129 S. Fraser St. in State College, is a dedicated gluten-free space. Bakery, from page 1 “I found that people were buying them because of that,” she said. “So when I had the chance to get my own kitchen, I decided to make it dedicated.” Through the farmers markets, Smith said she became friends with Fasta & Ravioli Co. owner Bob Ricketts. “He wanted to get into gluten-free pasta,” Smith said. “But the safest way to do that is with a dedicated space so there’s no cross contamination.” As it turns out, Ricketts wasn’t using the State College Fasta & Ravioli Co. store for production anymore and Smith was looking for a larger production space, she said. Smith currently makes gluten-free pastries, cookies, macaroons, breads and pasta. Fasta products are still sold at Good Seed, she said, but only gluten-free products are produced there. While not everyone needs to eat a gluten-free diet, Smith explained, it has been found to help with those who suffer from immune disorders, have multiple sclerosis or are autistic. However, people with celiac disease and those who have a sensitivity to gluten — similar to being lactose intolerant — need to eat gluten-free products. “It’s something that’s just starting to be explored in the medical community. A lot of people are finding it helpful if they have gluten intolerance,” she said. Gluten, Smith said, is a protein found in wheat, barley

and rye. As bread dough is kneaded, she said, gluten is what makes its stretch. “Gluten-free breads are hard to make because they rely on gluten. That’s been a challenge, but I think we’ve got the bread recipe about down. Pasta is definitely a challenge because (gluten is) important for the stretchiness.” While Good Seed has been open for business since May 28, a grand opening will take place on Friday, June 27. Additional details will be listed on the bakery’s website at as the date approaches, Smith said. For those who frequented the space on Fraser Street when it was Fasta & Ravioli Co., there have been quite a few changes. A bypass between the kitchen and sale areas has been put in. This gives customers the opportunity to see what’s going on in the kitchen and for Smith to see if anyone comes in while she’s working alone. A table where coffee and tea sit and a counter under the bypass to the kitchen have both been made out of farm wood, giving the bakery a natural and warm feel. In addition to selling products at the Fraser Street location, Smith said they are also available at the Tuesday State College and Saturday North Atherton farmers markets. “My favorite is when little kids who have never been in a bakery and couldn’t have these things before come in,” Smith said. “It’s exciting because they get really into it.” In the future, Smith said she hopes to offer sandwiches at the bakery and be able to supply gluten-free products to local restaurants and supermarkets. Good Seed Baking Co. will also be involved with Happy Valley Culinary Week in some capacity, which will take place Monday, July 14, through Sunday, July 20, in State College. Smith said she and Ricketts are still working out the details. “We just want to keep growing.” For more information about Good Seed Baking Co., visit www.goodseedbaking.com.

State College council approves $52M capital spending plan By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

SPECIAL AGENTS from ICE Homeland Security Investigations enter Hundred Degrees Hot Pot in the Westerly Parkway Shopping Plaza during a raid last week. Raid, from page 1 China, Guatemala, Thailand, Mexico and Indonesia, who were identified as being unlawfully in the United States and/ or illegally re-entering the country after having been removed, a federal felony.” On June 12, officials hauled boxes of alleged evidence out of the restaurants. Additionally, at least 13 people were bound at the wrists and taken away in vans. Three of the restaurants that were targeted are located in Westerly Parkway Plaza — Hundred Degrees Hot Pot, My Thai and Fuji and Jade Garden. William Ebken owns the Frame Factor and Gallery, which is located next to Hundred Degrees Hot Pot. “I noticed some cars parking in front of my store, which is a little bit unusual. All of a sudden, I looked out and we had a parking lot full of police officers,” Ebken said. “It was pretty crazy. They surrounded all three locations and both exits — front

and rear.” Ebken said he was surprised by the police presence. “We’re not used to this, not at all. We had a drug arrest many years ago down here. Being near the high school, they’re pretty sensitive to that. But this is really unusual,” Ebken said. Michelle Jiang, manager of those three restaurants, said she does not know why they were targeted. “I wish I had some explanation, but so far nothing has been given to us,” she said. According to Jiang, the employees that were removed last week have been released. “They’re not criminals,” Jiang said. “They’re good people.” Several other restaurants were investigated — Penang Asian Fusion Cuisine, College Buffet and China Dragon. Those restaurants re-opened on June 13. (StateCollege.com contributed to this report.)

STATE COLLEGE — State College Borough council approved a five-year capital improvement plan Monday night. The $52.2 million plan covers infrastructure spending for 2015 through 2019. It includes $10.2 million in spending for 2015. The plan requires general fund contributions of $2.2 million in 2015, $1.3 million in 2016, $1.6 million in 2017, $1.1 million in 2018 and $860,480 in 2019. The plan includes the following projects: n Pugh Street Garage replacement, $22 million n Atherton Street corridor improvements, $2.15 million n Street reconstruction, $3.4 million n Central business district streetlights, $1.25 million n Traffic signal and intersection safety improvements, $695,000

n Downtown Master Plan infrastructure improvements, $6.3 million Council approved the plan with a 6-to1 vote. Councilman Tom Daubert voted against the plan. Daubert says he’s not opposed to the projects within the plan, but in his view adequate planning has not yet taken place to tackle the projects. Specifically, Daubert took issue with allocating $350,000 in 2015 for consultants to take a look at the downtown improvement plan, which targets retail, housing and office markets, and then a year later allocating $3.5 million for the project “before we have any priorities.” Councilman Peter Morris notes that the plan was just that and not a budget allocation, therefore the figures can be adjusted as needed as each capital project moves forward. Council also agreed unanimously to allocate $90,000 to the Centre Area Transportation Authority for the 2014-2015 budget to match state funds.

Joyner to retire as Penn State athletic director By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — After a nearly three-year tenure, Penn State athletic director Dave Joyner will be retiring, the university announced on Tuesday afternoon. Joyner will continue in his role as athletic director until Friday, Aug. 1. “It has been an honor and privilege to serve Penn State,” Joyner said. “Our student athletes, coaches, staff and the university community were a daily source of inspiration for me. The spirit of Penn State is strong, and the department’s commitment to integrity, as well as academic and athletic excellence, is stronger than ever.” Joyner was named acting athletic director in November 2011. In January 2013, the “acting” title was removed and thenPresident Rodney Erickson announced that Joyner would serve as athletic director through Erickson’s term as president. Erickson retired on May 11. Penn State President Eric J. Barron will name a search committee to work with Collegiate Sports Associates, an executive search and consulting firm based in North Carolina, to recruit Penn State’s next director of intercollegiate athletics. David Gray, senior vice president for finance and busi-

ness at Penn State, has agreed to chair the search committee. The search is the second for Barron over the past 12 months, as he helped lead a search to fill the same role at Florida State. “Dave Joyner has provided steady leadership to athletics for nearly three years,” Barron said. “I want to thank him for his hard work in upholding Penn State’s legacy of academic and athletic success.” “We will be seeking candidates who have demonstrated a thorough understanding of NCAA rules and have a track record of success in meeting compliance standards,” Barron said. “They also must have a commitment to academic integrity, and the academic progress and graduation of student-athletes.” While the search remains well in its early stages, according to the Chicago Tribune, Northwestern athletic director Jim Phillips has been targeted by Penn State as a possible replacement for Joyner. Phillips’ positioning on any preliminary search committee’s wish list is unknown, as is his own personal interest in leaving his current post at Northwestern. Joyner has held the position of athletic director at Penn State for the past two and a half years, overseeing the fallout of the Jerry Sandusky scandal. In addition, Joyner

Officials seek public input on transportation plan By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — Officials are seeking the public’s feedback regarding a transportation improvement plan for Centre County, which includes several projects for the State College area. The Centre County Metropolitan Planning Organization will hold a public meeting on Wednesday, June 25, to review the Draft Centre County Transportation Improvement Program for 2015 to 2018. The meeting will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. at the College Township Municipal

Building, 1481 East College Ave. Federal law mandates local officials work together, through the CCMPO, to map out long and short-term transportation plans. Specifically, the plan outlines how federal and state funds will be allocated for road, bridge and public transportation projects in the county. The county has seen a gradual decline in state and federal funding for the capital projects, from $70 million between 2009 and 2012, to $52 million between 2011 and 2014, to $45 million for 2013 to 2016. However, a new state gas tax bumped

funding up to roughly $60 million for the 2015 to 2018 draft plan currently under consideration. Additional funding was also allocated for the Route 322 Potters Mill Gap project at $103.1 million and the Interstate 99 Ext. 71 Waddle Road Interchange Reconstruction project at $12 million. A new state law also provided more than $30 million to expand the Centre Area Transportation Authority’s maintenance facility. Other state funds will also go toward bus replacements. Other local projects receiving funding

under the plan include: n Improvements to Route 322 Mount Nittany Expressway in College Township, $777,500. n Improvements to Boalsburg Road at the area of the Oak Hall Interchange area in College Township, $1.5 million. n Improvements to Slab Cabin Run Bridge on Branch Road in College Township, $1.3 million. n Drainage work and repaving on Atherton Street in three phases in Patton Township, Ferguson Township and State College Borough for a total of roughly $23.6 million.

Lawmakers need to act on our infrastructure By Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Roads and bridges are a basic responsibility of the government — even most libertarians would agree with that. Yet the pothole plague shows no signs of abating. Nationwide, America’s infrastructure received an overall D-plus grade from the American Society of Civil Engineers. The nation’s bridges, with an average of 42 years and one in nine of which is structurally deficient, fared much better, earning a C-plus. Part of the problem is congressional unwillingness to invest in infrastructure, even though infrastructure spending more than pays for itself by stimulating demand and making transportation easier and more efficient for millions. National highways are in great need of service, with the Federal Highway Administration estimating that $170 billion is needed to significantly improve conditions. Part of the reason is a depletion of the Highway Trust Fund, which will take in $33 billion and spend $45 billion this fiscal year, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Receipts, funded by the federal gas tax, have been reduced due to more fuel-efficient vehicles. Lawmakers are dawdling on an alternate source of funding, but unless a solution materializes soon, states will have to halt all new construction projects indefinitely. The easy one, raising the gas tax for the first time since 1993, has been stoutly opposed by Republicans for years. All this is not lost on ordinary Americans: A recent poll found that three in five are worried about the unsafe conditions of their roads and highways. If only three in five lawmakers were as well.

What does Cantor’s loss mean?

The stunning primary defeat last week of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has left establishment Republicans scratching their heads and wondering what to do next. Cantor, a seven-term congressman who reportedly spent more than $167,000 on campaign events at steakhouses, lost to David Brat, an economics professor aligned with local tea party groups who spent just $122,000 on his entire campaign. Among House Republicans, Cantor was a prime mover on immigration reform, which Brat criticized as “amnesty.” He was also viewed as a pro-business, generally conservative legislator — not necessarily a moderate or “Republican in Name Only.” Does a tea party victory bode well or ill for Republican prospects in November? Is Cantor’s defeat significant beyond his own district? Could other Republican incumbents share Cantor’s fate? Columnists Ben Boychuk and Joel Mathis weigh in.

BEN BOYCHUK

It’s always nice to see a well-ensconced incumbent receive a nice thrashing, even if that incumbent happens to share one’s political outlook. Eric Cantor, it seems, got what he deserved. “Representative” Cantor forgot whom he was representing. The second-ranking Republican in the House of Representatives is a bit like the well-traveled husband who took his wife for granted, then is stunned to arrive home one day to find that she’s packed up and moved in with her boyfriend. Cantor took his district for granted. He was, by all accounts, rarely if ever there. Virginia’s Legislature drew a safe Republican district for Cantor after the last census, which he carried in the last election by a more than two-to-one margin. But his constituents — the people who actually cast the ballots, as opposed to the

lobbyists who wrote his campaign checks — say they neither knew him nor trusted him. So if you remember the old saw that “all politics is local,” then it’s really no wonder why Cantor lost. Now, does Cantor’s primary defeat necessarily mean a tea party pick-up in November? David Brat, the surprise victor, is untested and (for the moment, anyway) underfunded. Political reporters and Democratic operatives — but I repeat myself — are poring over Brat’s writings, looking for evidence beyond his tea party sympathies that he is a lunatic, an extremist. Also, it’s worth noting that Virginia has an open primary, which allows for Democrats to vote for Republicans, and vice versa. No doubt David Brat benefited greatly from Democratic voter mischief. He won’t be able to count on those votes in the general election. The truth is, Cantor was a creature of Washington, at a time when voters are losing patience with Beltway shenanigans. Cantor’s support for some kind of compromise on comprehensive immigration reform didn’t help him, but it wasn’t what did him in, either. It was the casual contempt for his constituents — the ones that really matter — that brought him to ruin. See? Sometimes democracy really does work.

JOEL MATHIS

Three quick lessons to take away from Eric Cantor’s defeat: n Our politics is screwed up. Maybe Eric Cantor deserved to be defeated — I’m a liberal, remember, so he was never my favorite member of Congress — but turnout for the primary election in Virginia last week was something like 12 percent of the electorate. Which means Cantor was turned out of office by roughly 6 percent of the electorate. That’s astonishing; more so when

you realize Cantor might’ve won reelection easily had he simply survived the primary. Primaries attract the most committed partisans. The choices they make often look little like the choices we’d otherwise make for ourselves; but we’re stuck with their choices. It’s not healthy for our politics, our governance, or our collective bile levels. And it can hardly be described as “democracy at work.” n There’s some bit of disagreement whether immigration played a large role in Cantor’s loss. But overall, enough people believe that Cantor’s “softness” on the issue proved his undoing. That will terrify other Republicans. Which means immigration reform will never come through legislative means, even though polls show that most Americans want that reform. Again, 6 percent of a Virginia district’s electorate has made this decision for the rest of us. n That said: No tears are shed here for Cantor, who at the end of the day became a victim of the no-compromise, no-surrender attitude in Washington that he did so much to foster. Time and again in recent years, President Obama and Speaker John Boehner have come to agreements that would’ve pushed the nation in a rightward direction — entitlement reform, anyone? — only to be scuttled by Cantor and the tea party caucus as insufficiently conservative. Those agreements never came to fruition. Republicans who wouldn’t settle for half a loaf didn’t end up with the whole thing. Nobody was happy with the budget deals that Obama and Congress did manage to put together. Cantor’s gone? Good riddance. But good riddance to the process that swept him out.

We are failing illegal immigrants Tens of thousands of illegal immigrant children are streaming across our border with Mexico to escape horrors at home and finding new troubles here. These may be far less heinous than what they fled, but many have endured something akin to torture on the journey, will mostly have to return home anyway and meanwhile have a president of the United States to thank for their predicament. Though something new, at least in this magnitude, the situation adds up to cruelty of a kind seen all over the immigration map, often put in place not by nativists, as anyone short of mindless on these issues is often called, but by people who are supposedly compassionate while failing the test. Most of these children, unaccompanied by parents, are from Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras and are desperately poor. They were sometimes abused at home. They were further terrorized by drug crime gone manic. A Reuters interview with a teenage girl tells what it can be like. Though now with her mother in VirJay Ambrose is a columnist for ginia, she walked great distances in Scripps-Howard getting here, went hungry, was raped News Service. by a migrant smuggler and initially worked in unpaid servitude after arriving. She thought coming here was legal. On reaching America, many of the children quickly find otherwise. They end up in the custody of the Border Patrol and are then handed over to representatives of the Health and Human Services Department. They may get stuck in the equivalent of large cages, can go for days without a shower and may have to sleep on plastic cots. Some say the food they’re eating is making them sick. The government, while spending hundreds of millions trying to cope with this ever-growing crowd, is doing no such thing. One Border Patrol official complained that the agency was so overwhelmed that it was having a hard time also dealing with other duties such as drug smuggling and gun runners. As with the interviewed girl, the children may eventually be taken to a parent or other relative in the United States, but will still face deportation proceedings hard to win. It was President Barack Obama who issued the invitation for them to go through all of this. During the 2012 presidential election campaign and without benefit of

JAY AMBROSE

Congress, he announced he would stop deportations of illegal immigrants who came here as children. The policy, which was sure to win still more Hispanic votes as it eased lots of worries, did not apply to children arriving after 2007, but it is scarcely rare that imperfect understandings get widespread. In this case, even a White House official has said the current, unmanageable influx appears partly attributable to false stories that foreign children showing up alone would not be shooed away. In 2011, before the campaign promise, the number of illegally crossing children who were apprehended was something like 6,000. It is already 47,000 this year and the total next year is expected to be 140,000. The deplorable plight of the children should be obvious to all, but the helplessness of many other immigrants is often made to seem opportunity at last. For the uneducated and unskilled, it is seldom anything of the sort. They can’t get more than low-wage jobs, cannot navigate the culture and are often assimilated into an underclass culture where the norms are single-parent homes, gang membership and dropping out of school. Prior to the 2008 recession, these immigrants and their descendants were the major cause of American increases in poverty, even though educated, skilled, entrepreneurial immigrants fare well and are an enormous boon to the economy. What that suggests at the least is that reform should aim at bringing in far more of those who can contribute and far fewer of those more likely to find hardship than rescue. We meanwhile need to employ workable ways to prevent grotesquely exploited and frequently dangerous illegal entry as prelude to any amnesty agreement. To skip these basics would be heartless.

Are cell phones really covered in germs? HERSHEY — A quick Google search for “mobile device” and “germs” lists pages of reports about how your smart phone is likely dirtier than a toilet seat and how you’d be terrified if you knew all the germs and bacteria it collects in a single day. That’s to say nothing of the tablets and touch screens you use everywhere from the gas pump to the grocery checkout. Dr. Michael Katzman, an infectious diseases physician at Penn State Hershey Medical Center, said the reports don’t surprise him. “You’re going to find a lot of germs, such as bacteria and viruses, on anything that gets touched by a lot of people,” he said. “This is not new information. It’s why we should be careful about door knobs and why we should wash our hands after we use a bathroom.” He said some articles suggest that the glass surfaces of touch screens are more prone to having germs adhere to them, however that doesn’t prove a link between the presence of bacteria on the devices and illnesses produced in the users. “Yes, there is evidence that the flu virus can persist on surfaces for several hours — and the MRSA virus for many days — but ultimately, those things have to get to someone’s hand and then into their body to cause a problem,” he said. “So you need to balance concern with common sense.” Katzman said the skin is a natural protective

barrier to prevent infection, but places like the mouth, the lining of the nose and the moist part of the eyes don’t have that barrier. Nor do open cuts or wounds, or inflamed areas around the fingernails. Staying healthy is a matter of using the same precautions we’ve known for years and applying them to the new technology. Wash your hands after shaking hands, coughing or sneezing and especially before touching your eyes and nose or before eating. In a world with hand sanitizer around every corner, Katzman reminds us that washing with soap and water is still an excellent way to stay germ-free. “An often overlooked point by the community is that alcohol-based sanitizers do not work if your hands are visibly soiled,” he said. “You have to physically remove dirt and have fairly clean hands for them to be effective.” Several companies sell products to remove physical residue and fingerprints from electronic devices, but Katzman said a simple microfiber cloth — dry or with a bit of water on it — would help significantly, even though it won’t sterilize a screen. If you are still intent on trying to sterilize a device’s screen, be cautious before using cleaners that could damage a touch screen or seep into cracks of electronic devices and ruin them.

Hospital ranks among best HERSHEY — Penn State Hershey’s Children’s Hospital has been ranked in six specialties — its most ever — in U.S. News and World Report’s 2014-15 Best Children’s Hospitals rankings. Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital ranked in cancer, cardiology and heart surgery, nephrology, neurology and neurosurgery, orthopedics and urology. This marks the fourth consecutive year in which Penn State Hershey has been ranked in multiple specialties. The Children’s Hospital first made the Best Children’s Hospitals list in 2008. The rankings highlight the top 50 U.S. hospitals in each of ten pediatric specialties: cancer, cardiology and heart surgery, diabetes and endocrinology, gastroenterology, neonatology, nephrology, neurology and neurosurgery, orthopedics, pulmonology and urology. “We are honored to be recognized in six specialties for the high quality of care, comprehensive services and excellent outcomes that Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital provides,� said Dr. Harold L. Paz, CEO of Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and Health System, Penn State’s senior vice president for health affairs, and dean, Penn State College of Medicine. “This recognition is a validation of the inspired care and compassionate support provided to our patients and families by our excellent physicians, nurses, clinical specialists, technicians, researchers, administrators and support staff.�

U.S. News introduced the Best Children’s Hospitals rankings in 2007 to help families of sick children find the best medical care available, especially for complex conditions. The rankings offer families an array of detailed information about each hospital’s performance. In compiling the latest rankings, U.S. News considered several objective criteria. Five-sixths of each hospital’s score relied on patient outcomes and the care-related resources each hospital makes available. To gather clinical data, U.S. News sent a clinical questionnaire to 183 pediatric hospitals. The remaining one-sixth of the score was derived from a survey of 450 pediatric specialists and subspecialists in each specialty over three years. The 4,500 physicians were asked where they would send the sickest children in their specialty, setting aside location and expense. “We’re thrilled to see our dedicated and skilled faculty and staff receive this welldeserved recognition of their efforts to provide unparalleled care for children and families,� said Dr. Craig Hillemeier, medical director, Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital. “Every Best Children’s Hospital deserves high praise,� said Health Rankings editor Avery Comarow. “We know how important it is to parents to have confidence in pediatric centers that show dedication and expertise in caring for a child facing a life-threatening, rare or demanding illness.�

MOOC-for-credit explores wrongful convictions By KATE MIFFITT Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State will offer its newest massive open online course, “Presumed Innocent? The Social Science of Wrongful Convictions,� through the College of the Liberal Arts. The MOOC employs the perspective of the social scientist to understand why and how wrongful convictions occur. The course will be open to thousands of students for free on the Coursera platform in late June, and will also be offered for Penn State credit at a reduced tuition rate beginning Wednesday, July 2. “We are interested in exploring the potential to deliver a high-quality academic general education experience at scale for students seeking credit, while simultaneously providing an open learning experience to a general audience,� said Chris Long, associate dean of the College of the Liberal Arts. “While learners will access lectures and videos in the Coursera MOOC, students in the credit portion of the course will complete more rigorous readings and assignments, and have their work evaluated by the instructor and teaching assistants. They will have the rich experience of interacting with the diverse learner population in the MOOC environment, while engaging in more rigorous academic work in Penn State’s ANGEL learning management

system. We are very excited to pilot a credit portion of the MOOC.� Tim Robicheaux, course author and lecturer in the Department of Sociology and Criminology, developed the 14-lesson course to enable learners to examine the disparities in the criminal justice system, the factors in the justice system that might lead to a wrongful conviction, and potential policy improvements to reduce the risk of such convictions. The video content will include lectures by Robicheaux and interviews with social scientists, legal scholars and individuals active in the criminal justice system. Lessons will include rich legal and social science content, as well as anecdotes of wrongful convictions. “Wrongful convictions are a serious social ill that, while relatively rare, can erode trust in the criminal justice system,� Robicheaux explained. “I feel like many people are aware that innocent men and women serve prison time because they read about it on the news or see it in a docudrama. It’s a topic that interests people, but it’s also one that can teach students quite a bit about social science and public policy.� The 200-level for-credit general education course will be offered at a reduced tuition cost of $333 per credit. “The reduced tuition is designed to make the course more accessible to MOOC participants and a wider public,� said Long. “But making the course less expensive

‘Break Out’ lunch with Chambers makes impact STATE COLLEGE — Patrick Chambers had his audience captivated. The Penn State men’s basketball coach held court over his tablemates, telling stories and sharing advice. Chambers covered a lot of topics: what it was like growing up the youngest of 12 siblings, whether he thinks the NBA should adopt an age limit (he does), recruiting and how he uses social media in an age when seemingly everyone updates Twitter every couple of minutes. Chambers wasn’t addressing a recruit, the alumni base or potential donors. Instead, John Patishnock he shared his insight is a Centre County with about a dozen native, and his members of State Colstories on how lege Young Professionhe’s reconnecting als last Thursday afterto the area will be showcased in noon in the lower level “Rediscovering of Rotelli in downtown Happy Valley,” a State College. column that will At length, Chamrun every other bers also discussed week in The Centre leadership. This topic County Gazette. served as the focal point for the get-together, the latest in the series of “Break Out” lunch meetings that SCYP schedules with community leaders. Within the context of leadership, Chambers emphasized three key points: faith, trust and attitude. He displayed the same passion and zest as he does on the court, making an enormous impression. “His personality is invigorating, he was amazing,” Kristen Connolly said. “He’s a great leader, he’s a great inspirer for all of us and I think his attitude in life is the one thing we all take away from today.” Connolly organizes the sessions, which take place every two months. She bor-

rowed the idea from a group she belonged to in Wisconsin, saying this fills a need for people beginning to carve out a career in the Centre Region. She helps manage digital media partnerships for AccuWeather, and said Chambers’ advice will help her within her career, noting that your attitude can greatly shape how others view you, which Chambers discussed. “He gave great tips that can be applied to everyday life,” Connolly said. “I think another big takeaway is that if you’re not happy, then figure out what you need to do to make every day count and to enjoy your job and to make an impact on the people around you.” The lunch, much smaller and more intimate than a formal press conference, gave Chambers the opportunity to connect with fans on a more personal level. The lunch also was another example of Chambers’ continued community outreach. From throwing out the first pitch at a Little League game to hosting the annual Coaches vs. Cancer golf event, Chambers has kept busy. And of course, he’s been meeting with several upper-level recruits. Chambers is flooded with appearance requests, and when I asked him afterward why events like this lunch are a priority for him, his response showed that he understands his job at Penn State extends beyond the court. “You want to develop leaders in the community and develop leaders in the university, and helping them along their path, their journey, their way, like people helped me,” Chambers said. “I think it’s great to give back.” Outside of attending basketball games and pep rallies, Connolly hadn’t spent much time around Chambers and had never talked to him one-on-one. Similarly, he hadn’t ever heard of State College Young Professionals, a group that organized about a decade ago and currently has approximately 115 members. The previous unfamiliarity wasn’t obvi-

Creating relationships is a major goal of these meetings for SCYP. The group has been meeting with local leaders since the beginning of last year, and combined with volunteer work, Connolly said the group is gaining more and more of a foothold in the community. The informal lunches have featured guests from athletics, business and entertainment, with the group absorbing a wide range of perspectives from people who bring their own unique viewpoints. Before last week, I had limited direct interaction with Chambers, though I had attended plenty of press conferences, seen him oversee practice and watched how he interacted with fans and the media in a variety of settings. The one thing I’ve always admired about Chambers is his authentic demeanor. He’s genuine and sincere, and maybe that doesn’t sound like a major compli-

ment in this day and age, but for me, that counts for a lot. Last week’s event only strengthens this observation. There were benefits for both SCYP and Chambers; the group gains more traction and, perhaps, Chambers gains a few more fans. Chambers added he enjoys these types of events because it allows him a chance to re-evaluate how he defines and exhibits leadership and to hear from others on the subject and learn something new. I found that to be pretty heady stuff, an NCAA Division I coach who’s humble enough to feel he can learn from people just beginning their own careers. Faith. Trust. Attitude. Chambers doesn’t just speak it, he lives it, and last week he showed it. “This really gives us an opportunity to learn from local leaders,” Connolly said. “Everyone has a different experience and a different background. That helps us to take their knowledge and bring it into our lives and figure out how we can benefit and become local leaders as well.”

Bellefonte Cruise draws thousands of spectators By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — The 26th annual Bellefonte Cruise and Car Show featured an open cruise and a sock hop on Friday night, and a car show and cruise for show participants on Saturday. The event, recognized as one of the biggest and best of its kind in central Pennsylvania, attracted hundreds of vehicles of all varieties. Antiques, classics, muscle cars, hot rods, trucks and motorcycles were seen cruising the block on Friday night, or lined up along Bellefonte’s curbs during the Saturday show. The unseasonably cool and windy weather did not deter hundreds of entrants and thousands of spectators from attending. On Friday night, the cars began rolling during the open cruise. The air was filled with the constant throaty rumble of V-8 engines and the sounds of chirping tires, as cruisers of all ages enjoyed the tradition of “lapping the block.” Spectators, standing on the sidewalks or sitting in lawn chairs, lined both sides of the streets and exchanged waves and greetings with the people cruising by. After the cruise, a 1950s-style sock hop was held on the diamond. Saturday morning, hundreds of cars,

trucks and motorcycles rolled into town for the car show. The vehicles were parked along the curbs of Allegheny and High streets, and spectators began showing up en masse well before the show’s noon starting time. While many of the cars were from Centre County, there were also entries from all around the state, who came to participate in this well-known and prestigious event. Ralph and Peggy Keller drove their 1955 Pontiac Star Chief sedan to Bellefonte from Williamsport. The Star Chief was bought new by Ralph Keller’s father, and has been in the family for decades. It was the first car that Ralph drove as a teenager, according to Peggy Keller. The car was sold years ago, but the Kellers bought it back. The big Pontiac is in original unrestored condition, still wearing its factory brown and white paint. “It needs some body work, a paint job and new upholstery,” said Peggy Keller. “But the engine and chassis were redone, and it runs fine.” The eye-popping red paint job on David and Nancy Beatty’s 1933 Ford three-window coupe grabbed the attention and admiration of spectators at the show. The Beattys drove the coupe to Bellefonte from Mountaintop. David Beatty said they have owned the car for 31 years. The fiberglassbodied Ford is equipped with a 350 Chevy V-8 engine bored out to 355 cubic inches,

Bowersox transports abandoned animals to new homes With the pressure of a full-time work commitment over, it is with enthusiasm that many seniors and others seek a worthwhile project, often with no expectation of pay. One of the most dedicated persons to that kind of worthwhile project is Lynda Bowersox, of Millheim. I heard about Bowersox from a friend who described her work as “transporting animals.” Interesting idea, I thought, and I set up an interview with Bowersox. It turns out, there is a community on Facebook that works very hard to help save, transport and find homes or safe shelters for as many homeless animals as possible. There is a big problem in this country that reConnie Cousins covers a wide sults from lack of spayvariety of events in ing and neutering aniCentre County for mals and from the exthe Centre County istence of puppy mills, Gazette. Email her where conditions are at ccous67@gmail. horrible and the anicom. mals are overbred and often discarded. Bowersox started her work in December 2013, and has already completed 73 runs. She is connected with four different transportation groups and can agree to drive one leg of a trip or more, as she wishes. The stories behind the transports often follow a similar pattern. For example, a person takes an elderly pet to a shelter and drops it off. The animal is seen by a vet and fostered for two weeks, typically. During this time, a search is on for a possible home for the aging animal. After the required fostering, if a home is located, a transporter is contracted to haul the pet. The pet arrives at its new home and hopefully lives out its life in comfort. Bowersox took an online course lead-

CONNIE COUSINS

ing to her certification. She learned ways to manage the animals safely. Dogs, for example, are double leashed. Bowersox taught me her trick of shutting one leash in the car door. Then, when she prepares let the animal out of the back of the car, she can have a leash securely in her hand before opening the door. One of her first transports was picking up an older collie/aja mix from New Jersey and driving it to Scranton. Bowersox has transported dogs and rabbits, and some drivers have taken pigs and snakes to new homes. “I really liked a certain pom-chi. They had found a home for the animal in New York and it was driven in two legs from Kentucky to upstate New York. After two days, the woman would not keep the dog, saying it wouldn’t listen to her. The process was repeated in reverse,” she said. Bowersox recalled a pit bull puppy found in a drug raid and a lab mix that made its way to the U.S. from Bosnia. “No, I have not had that much trouble with the passengers,” she said. “I have only had to have two muzzled. The two weeks in foster care goes a long way to calm the animals and to teach many of them to trust. “I have often pulled off the road to pet and soothe a terrified, shaking animal. If there is only one, I like to have them in the front where I can reach out and touch them, although they are safely tethered.” The groups that do this service operate in certain territories. Bowersox works primarily with groups that handle the East Coast. It is hard to believe that people would just abandon an animal or leave it in a shelter, where many are still euthanized after a brief stay. Sometimes, the person just tires of caring for an older pet or can’t train an animal. How fortunate that there are groups that help in these situations. But, this is the real surprise — none of the people Bowersox works with receive any monetary reimbursement. They, as well as Bowersox, are all volunteers. She uses her own car, her

The steps that go into this work are like those of a carefully choreographed dance. There is an application step where the information is conveyed from sender to receiver about the animal’s size, breed, shot records and condition. Personal and vet references and proof of a home check are included, if a new home is in the works. Once that is done and the group has taken on the job, the information is given to a run sheet maker, who maps out the entire trip and breaks it into legs of generally 60 to 90 miles, also determining the number of days that the trip will take. A typical day is eight to 12 hours. Next, transport coordinators post the trip on Facebook and reach out to volunteers in the areas of the legs of the transport. They email, call, text and tag people and fill in all the legs of the journey. There are database keepers who keep track of all

Other parts of the dance are the recruitment, the fundraisers, etc. All animals traveling over state lines must have health certificates, so volunteers coordinate this, too. Facebook is used to track the entire transport, share pictures, inform drivers of traffic delays, etc. Once the animals have reached their safe places, everyone involved can go to the transport group’s page and see all the drivers involved and the pictures taken along the way. Some volunteers bring toys and treats for their passengers, but most of all, they show these animals the love and compassion that has most likely been lacking in their lives.

Millheim Business Community hosts Mayfly Festival By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

MILLHEIM — The Millheim Business Community hosted its second annual Millheim Mayfly Festival on June 6 and 7. Main Street was lined with musicians, artists, craft and food vendors, and demonstrations. The festival was named as a tribute to the mayfly, an insect that signifies the beginning of the fishing season when it hatches in late spring. Many local businesses were open for extra hours and offered special deals during the festival. Sidewalk vendors sold food items, jewelry, clothing and many other interesting items. Other attractions included an archery demonstration, a 15-mile bicycle ride, a chainsaw-carving demonstration, a primitive skills demonstration and children’s activities and entertainment. Several local artists were set up in and around Millheim making paintings for a plein air art contest sponsored by the Green Drake Gallery. Artist Brienne Brown, of Julian, had her easel set up along Race Street, making a water color painting of the buildings beside Elk Street. Brown is originally from Utah, and has been drawing and painting since her childhood. Brown said her father was an architect, who specialized in restoring historic buildings.

“He gave me an appreciation for this great old architecture,” said Brown. Her painting was awarded Best of Show. Other artists participating in the festival included Susan Nicholas Gephart, Jeanne McKinney, Beverly Klucher, Elody Gyekis, Suzanne DeSarbo, Anne Kenyon, Jeff Mathison, Karl Leitzel, J. Harlan Ritchey, Alice Teeple, Maggie Wolszczan and potter Jason Bloom. Many of the festival’s events were held to benefit WSOV, the low-power FM community radio station that is starting up in Millheim. On Saturday during the festival, WSOV conducted live interviews about Millheim in its heyday from a temporary studio set up in the window of the Penns Valley Veterinary Clinic. There was a raffle drawing for a custom-built tube amplifier and handcrafted cigar box guitar, with proceeds to benefit the radio station. The Millheim Business Community is a nonprofit organization that works to foster the healthy economic and cultural development of Millheim and the Penns Valley region through community cooperation, entrepreneurial innovation and local governance.

State College Rotary Clubs donate to the Sue Sheridan Fund UNIVERSITY PARK — At a recent meeting at the Nittany Lion Inn, the State College, Downtown and State Sunrise Rotary Clubs jointly presented a check for $9,000 to the Sue Sheridan Fund. The local charity helps State College Area School District students who would otherwise not be able to enjoy certain opportunities, such as attending a field trip or paying for a graduation cap and gown, because they can’t afford to.

This year, among many who received aid were two student thespians who received grants allowing them to attend a major theater festival, something they could not have done without Sue Sheridan Fund assistance. The fund honors the memory of the late Sue Sheridan, who worked in the Title 1 reading program at SCASD and believed that all students should have access to special experiences, no matter their financial means.

YSB’s ‘DeClutter’ program helps families cope By JENNIFER CRANE Special to the Gazette

STATE COLLEGE — Centre County Youth Services Bureau’s “DeClutter� program that helps families manage unhealthy home conditions that exist because of too much clutter. The families that we at YSB serve are often on the verge of eviction or losing their children because the clutter in the home has created unsafe or even dangerous living conditions. Upon first reflection, one wouldn’t think clutter to be a problem of those who live in poverty.

But, in the DeClutter program, we work almost exclusively with families who are hovering around the poverty level, which by national standards is $23,550 annually for a family of four. Even twice that amount for a family of four in Centre County can be tough to get by on. What YSB sees in many of these homes is a lack of basic functional storage areas such as dressers, closets, kitchen or medicine cabinets, vanities in the bathroom, and other such things that most of us take for granted. Without these means of storage, we encounter piles of clothes on the floor or in large bins, kitchenware spilling out into other rooms, toys around the house with no toy chest or sorter for them to be put away in, and shoes and coats piled at the front door or on chairs and couches. In DeClutter, we try to address this lack of storage space from two different angles. The first angle is to find or provide, with a very limited budget, the needed storage. We help families try to find more storage by rethinking the spaces or items they already have and determining if these can be used more efficiently. We help families categorize belongings and designate places for these things, such as putting shoes under the bed, storing silverware in a basket on the counter, etc. We will also try to provide what extra storage we can by helping families locate donated furniture — the Interfaith Human Services agency is the number one help for this — and offering assistance to pick up the furniture and haul it back to their homes with them. We also provide and help install hooks, shelves, toy bins or whatever will work to contain and hold belongings. The second angle we use is aiding families to help control their clutter by reducing their amount of belongings. This is usually the most difficult way to approach the clutter control. People have many reasons why they have a hard time getting rid of objects — emotional attachment, guilt, a desire not to be wasteful or a belief in the value and potential usefulness of object. For families living in poverty, there is also a fear that if they get rid of belongings now, they may not be able to afford to buy anything similar in the future if it is needed. Often among the piles of clothes we help families sort through, we may see children’s clothes that are two or three sizes too big for any child in the home that were given to them or found at rock-bottom prices and saved

WE ARE BEER

for the future, or baby clothes from a child who is now four years old, because they hope to have another baby down the road. For many families, it doesn’t make any sense to get rid of things that, if needed in the future, they will only have buy or find again. Storage issues are not the only problems YSB finds. There are other ways a home or an apartment contributes to the overall home condition and presents challenges to keeping it clean and organized. Many of the homes we work in are old and poorly cared for. This may be carpet that is more than 10 to 20 years old and has experienced many different tenants and pets, or floors that are cracked, dry, splintered or peeling. The homes may have walls that are cracked and crumbling, yellowed from previous tenants who smoked or full of holes. Ceilings are leaking and falling down in spots, toilets are not sealed, and bathtubs and showers are moldy due to poor ventilation. All these factors can make it hard for homes to be cleaned or appear to be clean. This is where YSB finds our small DeClutter budget has its limits. We have shampooed many carpets, helped families rip out old carpet, or contributed, when we could — thanks to generous donations from our local Bed, Bath and Beyond — area rugs for bare floors. We have even helped a few home owners acquire new laminate flooring either by donation or at deep discounts, thanks to our local Home Depot and Lowe’s. We have helped to deep clean walls, patch and paint them, seal toilets and fix leaky or completely broken faucets and drains. We also have helped many families weatherize their old homes in the cold weather months, which helps with heating costs and health. Providing for a family when living at or near the poverty level is a daily struggle, and families have to make choices everyday about how to best do that.

Centre County United Way and CVIM announce partnership

Submitted photo

STATE COLLEGE — Centre Volunteers in Medicine has become the newest addition to the Centre County United Way’s group of health and human service partner agencies, the organizations have announced. By joining the CCUW network, CVIM is now eligible to receive United Way funding, said Tammy Gentzel, CCUW executive director. “We are looking forward to our partnership with CVIM and to supporting their work to prevent chronic medical problems by providing preventative and acute oral health care services,” Gentzel said. Prior to CVIM, the most recent addition to the CCUW network was Tides in 2009. Founded in 2003, CVIM provides medical and dental care, case management and necessary medications at no cost to qualified uninsured and underinsured residents of Centre County. Physicians, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, social workers and other licensed clinicians volunteer their time to provide care to patients. “Despite the implementation of health care reform, many Centre County residents still face significant barriers to receiving health care,” said Grace Gorenflo, chair of CVIM’s board of directors. “We are very honored to become a United Way partner agency — we could not do our job without the generosity of the community and are grateful for this additional support of our mission.” At a time when dental health has become a crisis in our

country, individuals continue to fall into the gap between earning too much to qualify for medical assistance, and not enough for the Affordable Care Act mandates to apply. Centre County is no exception, Gorenflo explained. The CVIM board looked at the benefit to CVIM and the patients they serve, and concluded that the synergy created by this partnership with CCUW would be a benefit to both agencies, she added. “The United Way funding we are receiving will allow us to expand our dental program with the addition of a staff dentist one day per week and additional oral care support,” said CVIM executive director Cheryl White. “We are pleased to announce Dr. Jason Stetson has accepted that role. We are hoping to continue to expand our dental program over time to the point where we are able to afford a full-time staff dentist to work in conjunction with our volunteer dentists,” White explained. With more than 2,300 individuals from the community on the waiting list for dental care, the expansion of the CVIM dental program will allow more individuals to get the care they need and live without daily pain. Additionally, with improved oral health, these individuals will exhibit improved self-esteem and an improved smile, and in many cases, it will allow re-entry into the work force, she noted.

Spikes

June 19-25, 2014

THE 2014 STATE COLLEGE SPIKES will be trying to defend their first division title. The team will be led once again by manager Oliver Marmol.

TIM WEIGHT/For the Gazette

Spikes ready to build on breakthrough year By JOHN PATISHNOCK sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The State College Spikes haven’t found themselves before in the position they’re currently in, which is a good thing for the St. Louis Cardinals’ short-season, Aaffiliate team. State College claimed its first division title last season, when the Spikes benefited from David Washington’s monster season and a stable of dependable pitchers. Plenty of other players contributed to the success, but such is the nature of minor league baseball, as most of them have moved on and manager Oliver Marmol needs to find a way to sustain the winning atmosphere with new guys. He thinks this is possible.

“This group works really hard,” Marmol said during the team’s media day last week. “There are some exciting players. We’ve got young guys up the middle, we’ve got some arms that can run it up there pretty good, so it’s going to be an exciting group.” State College finished 48-27 last year for the best mark in the New York-Penn League and won the Pinkney Division. For this season, Marmol emphasized the importance of personal and team development over repeating as division champions. That might sound strange to some fans, but with the backdrop of playing for an organization that excels at bringing guys up through the minor league system, that makes sense. Winning is obviously a great

byproduct, and Marmol added that the organization’s ability to elevate guys to the major leagues and play in a winning environment along the way are great motivating reasons to get guys to give full effort. “Every year, we come here with the same mindset,” said Marmol, who’s quite familiar with many of the players, either managing them last season or earlier this year in winter ball. “This organization does a nice job of developing guys. My job here is to go ahead and develop them the best we can.” Marmol said he sits down with each player at some point during the season and outlines individual goals. He asks each player to fill out a self-evaluation, and he’ll also share his own insight about what he wants to see out of each player and how he can develop

during the year. “We do that with every single player halfway through the year,” Marmol said, “and we’ll do it with the drafted players when we have an idea what they need to improve on.” A handful of guys who played on last year’s team are back this season. One such player is Jacob Booden, who was used mainly last year as a late-inning reliever. This year, he’d like to be the closer instead of a set-up guy, but he said Marmol hadn’t talked with the guys yet about their roles. Booden said he’s already found good mechanics on the mound, which is especially critical for someone as tall as him; the right-handed Illinois native stands at 6-foot-8. Just like with personal development, each player has his own goals for the year, which may in-

clude moving up the organizational ladder — the Cardinals’ Aaffiliate squad plays in Peoria, Ill. “I think there’s an opportunity, not just for myself but for other guys, to move up to Peoria or wherever they want to go,” Booden said. “As a personal evaluation, I think I’ve found a very comforting position on the mound with my mechanics. Now it’s just the time to execute, that’s pretty much the biggest thing.” State College kicked off its season last weekend with a fourgame series against Williamsport, winning two of the first three games, including its home opener in front of the third-largest crowd (5,801) in the history of Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. The Spikes next play at home Tuesday, June 24, and Wednesday, June 25, in a two-game series against Jamestown.

Team’s schedule packed with fun, promotions By MATT BORTNER sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The State College Spikes have returned to defend their New York Penn League Championship. The coaching staff has returned for its second season to direct many of the new faces on the squad. Although the team will not look the same, expectations and management of the team will be no different. “Every year, we come here with the same mindset,” said head coach Oliver Marmol. “My job is to develop the guys the best we can and at the end of the season we will see where we are at and compete.” Last year, fans were treated with the Spikes’ remarkable

30-8 home record at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. Along with the success of the team, fans flooded Medlar Field to take advantage of one of Minor League Baseball’s best promotional schedules. “Our general manager, Jason Dambach, and the front office do a very nice job of getting fans in the stands and our players are excited to play in front of a home crowd,” said Marmol. This upcoming season, the Spikes will boast yet another home schedule filled with promotions to attract fans of all ages. Dambach realizes that they cannot control the quality of the team, since the St. Louis Cardinals handle all of the player development decisions, but they can help by filling the stands. “In a lot of ways we form a lot of our marketing, promotions and ticket sales on what happens outside of the white lines,” said Dambach. Once again, the Spikes will have Daily Value Promotions, including Monday Buck Nights, T-Shirt Tuesdays, Half-Price Wednesdays, 4 for $44 Fridays and Scratch ’n Win Saturdays. New to the Daily Value Promotions is Dollar Beer Thursdays, where fans can enjoy 12-ounce domestic draft beers between 6 and 8 p.m. for just $1. Medlar Field will also continue to host firework shows every Sunday night after the ballgames. Other popular promotions returning in 2014 are Bark in the Park Nights, where fans can bring their dog to the ballpark, on Thursday, June 19, and Saturday, Aug. 2, and the famous Cowboy Monkey Rodeo on Friday, June 27. Headlining the promotional schedule is the Salute to

the ‘90s Night on Sunday, June 29. The event, which is gaining a national spotlight, will feature a special guest appearance by Alfonso Ribeiro, who played Carlton on the popular “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” television show. The Spikes will also wear special “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”themed jerseys.

Central Columbia pours it on to end BEA’s title hopes By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The Bald Eagle Area softball team time and again this season was able to come back from late deficits and pull out improbable wins. Playing in the PIAA AA championship game against Central Columbia on Friday night at Beard Field, the Lady Eagles once more came back from an early four-run hole and tied the game. But they couldn’t do it again. Central Columbia immediately scored two runs in the third to regain the lead, and BEA couldn’t answer as the Lady Bluejay hitters began to pour it on. Central Columbia added another in the fourth, four in the sixth, and two more in the seventh to wrap up the state championship with a 13-5 decision over BEA. Central Columbia crushed a total of 17 hits — including two long home runs — and had eight of its nine starters hit safely in the game. Third baseman Marissa Shelhamer led the attack with four hits, while Carley Swisher and Kim Hollister had three, and Megan Grozier and Rachel Davis each added two. On the mound, after giving up three hits and four runs in the second inning, Paige Siegrist settled down and allowed only two more hits and another run the rest of the night as she nailed down the win for the Bluejays. For BEA, it was a stinging loss. The Lady Eagles made an incredible run through the District 6 and PIAA playoffs, and they arrived at Penn State with a huge following of fans that overflowed into the surrounding hills around

TIM WEIGHT/For the Gazette

THE BALD EAGLE Area High School softball team had to settle for the second place trophy after falling 13-5 in the PIAA Class AA Championship game at Beard Field on Friday night. Beard Field. Yet there was little the Eagles could do in the face of the Central Columbia bats. “We handled a heck of a season,” BEA coach Chet Heverly said, “and we just kept rolling. But we didn’t handle this very well. I knew something was wrong, and we tried to keep motivated, but we struggled with that.” BEA’s struggles began in the second inning when Central Columbia batted around and scored four runs on five hits, including a two-RBI single by Siegrist. Swisher and Hollister also

drove in runs in the inning as the Bluejays took a 4-0 lead. Looking true to their playoff form, the Eagles struck back immediately. They loaded the bases on two hits and a walk, and then Haley Giedroc worked a basesloaded walk to drive in the first BEA run. BEA pitcher Makennah Dyke then followed with a three-run double into the gap in left-center to tie the game at 4-4. Unfortunately, that would be all for BEA until the seventh inning, as Siegrist composed herself and retired 12 of the next 16 batters without giving up a run.

Meanwhile, her team was busy building a nine-run lead. “I’m disappointed, obviously,” Heverly added. “Not in the fact that we take a silver home instead of gold, and it was a great season. “But, I think we had a responsibility for the western side of the state. I don’t think a western team won a title. (No western team won a championship in baseball or softball.) We had a heck of a roll with Philipsburg, and we owed them a great game, so to be not what we really are today hurt me and I think it hurt the girls.”

Central Columbia took the lead for good in the third on RBI singles by Shelhamer and Davis, and then Mackenzie Klinger smashed a long home run over the left-center field wall in the fourth to make it 7-4. BEA pitcher Dyke retired the side in order in the fifth, but Central Columbia put the game away in the sixth. The Bluejays batted around for the second time and scored four runs to run the score to 11-4. The big hits were a two-run double by Hollister and a monster two-run homer by Allison McCracken that bounced off the top of the scoreboard in left field. Central Columbia put up two more in the seventh before BEA pushed one across in its seventh to make the final score 13-5 and give Central Columbia the title. “The game got away from us,” Heverly said, “and I just don’t know what happened. One inning we stayed with them, but it faded. We didn’t get any hits off that pitcher, which was disappointing. “They hit the ball; you have to give them credit. The have a nice team. I thought they did a great job and they were well coached.” Even with the loss, Bald Eagle Area has much to look forward to. The Eagles lose only two seniors — Dyke and center fielder Megan Peters — and their roster included 13 freshmen and sophomores, so they look to be competitive into the foreseeable future. “We have 14 lettermen coming back,” Heverly said. “We need to work them and get them better overall, but we do have a good bunch coming back. It is disappointing to come this far and have this happen, but yes, we did have a great season.”

Spikes break through in sixth for win in home opener By MATT BORTNER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Ricardo Pinto was virtually unhittable for the Williamsport Crosscutters during the State College Spikes’ home opener at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park, but a wild sixth inning propelled the Spikes to a 6-2 victory on Saturday. The Spikes, trailing 2-1, were only able to garner two hits off Pinto heading into the sixth inning. Pinto struck out Leobaldo Pina to open up the sixth, but Pina reached first safely on a passed ball. The next batter, Jake Stone, walked to put runners on first and second. After a force-out at third and a strikeout, Pinto walked Alex De Leon to load the bases. That would be Pinto’s last batter faced of the night, as Delvy Francisco came in for relief. With Luis Cruz up to the plate, the Crosscutters would see the game unfold right before their eyes. Crosscutters catcher Deivi Grullon was unable to block Francisco’s pitch in the dirt. Grullon sprinted after the passed ball while Jake Stone sprinted towards home. Grullon fired the ball back to a covering Francisco, but an errant throw ricocheted off Francisco’s leg and trickled down the third base line allowing Stone to score. Nick Thompson scored the go-ahead run from second base with no one covering at home. Cruz then finished off his at bat with an RBI single to extend the Spikes’ lead to 4-2. “These guys are really poised, we were down early but we kept our composure and stuck to our game plan,” said head

coach Oliver Marmol. “Pinto did a nice job the first five innings and just ran into a little trouble in the sixth.” Pinto’s solid outing lasted 5.2 innings, giving up only one earned run and fanning eight batters. The Spikes were able to remain within striking distance because of a solid combined effort from the pitching staff that, at one point, retired 17 consecutive batters. The Crosscutters’ only two runs came in the first inning off starting pitcher Steven Farinaro. Farinaro then settled in after a rocky start, retiring his last 11 batters. Trey Neilson made his professional debut to start the sixth, relieving Farinaro. Neilson, a 2013 draft pick out of the University of Utah, didn’t see any action last year because of Tommy John’s surgery. “It was exciting going out there for my first appearance,” said Neilson. “Had a little nerves going in the bullpen, but once I got on the mound I took a couple deep breaths and honed in.” Neilson did not lie when he said he was honed in. His two-seam fastball hand cuffed right-handed batters and had left-handed batters looking at strikes on the outside corner, setting up a devastating two-strike curveball. Neilson retired all six batters he faced, striking out four and collecting the win. Jeff Rauh and fan favorite Jacob Booden sealed the victory for the Spikes, throwing three scoreless innings. “They take a lot of pride knowing they are a strong bullpen and that’s what you’re going to continue to see the rest of the year,” said Marmol. “They are tough mentally and understand when they get to the

Robelys Reyes went 3-for-5 and Cruz went 2-for-4 with an RBI. The overall performance brought the 5,801 fans — the third largest crowed to grace the stadium — to their feet on multiple occasions. Returning Spike Alex De Leon, who registered a hit, two walks and two runs, was appreciative of the crowd.

“The energy was great, you could see some of the new guys’ faces when they realized how many fans were here,” said De Leon. Right now, the team is very reminiscent of last year’s and poised to make another deep run through the New York Penn League. “We’ve got really strong pitching that really helps out our defense,” said Neilson, “but that’s not the only thing, our whole team is strong.”

Philadelphia Phillies: Buy or sell? Philadelphia Phillies’ shortstop Jimmy Rollins set the all-time Phillies’ record for hits at 2,235 in a 7-4 win over the Cubs last week at Citizens Bank Park. Rollins’ single to right field eclipsed the record held by Mike Schmidt and cemented Rollins’ stature as one of the most premier Phillies’ players ever. It also rekindled questions around town about how long Rollins will even be with the team. Pat Rothdeutsch covers sports for For his part, Rollins The Centre County has consistently said Gazette. Email him that he wants to stay at sports@ in Philadelphia and he centrecounty would invoke his nogazette.com trade clause to ensure that that happens. But the numbers are more than bad. The Phillies are eight games under .500 (30-38), and they are six and a half games behind the division-leading Atlanta Braves. How they are even that close is a testament to the weakness of the NL East. Atlanta wouldn’t even be in second place if

PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

it played in the Central or the West. The Phils have a worse record than they did at this point last season, and the spring-training optimism about keeping this core group of players together for another run is beginning to fade. Rollins, Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, Cole Hamels, et al., have been holding up their part of the bargain. It’s been the inconsistent play, light hitting and injuries among the younger players that has hurt the most. And the bullpen is another issue altogether. So, if a contender loses a shortstop and comes to general manager Ruben Amaro with an offer of some good-looking prospects in trade for Rollins, Amaro will be listening. The big question is, will he do it? Will he break up that group of players that for so long has been the base of the Phillies’ recent great teams and successes — including a World Series win — and set the team on a course toward the future? Or, will Amaro play for now? They are only six and a half games out in a weak division, after all. That can easily be made up. They will be getting key players, such as Cody Asche and Cliff Lee, back from injury soon, and, frankly, they really haven’t had their full complement of players on the field yet this season.

Spikes to host ‘Miracle Night’ STATE COLLEGE — A “Miracle Night at the Spikes” event will be held during the State College Spikes and Jamestown Jammers game on Monday, June 23, at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. The first pitch will be thrown out at 6:05 p.m., with activities held during the game to benefit Children’s Miracle Network at Geisinger.

Amaro has flatly said that he and upper management think about “buy or sell” scenarios constantly. “We think about that every day,” Amaro said. “We assess every day, and we’re preparing for how to do those things. It’s not like we’re not preparing. If we have to go backward to go forward, then we’re prepared to do that.” And when he was asked if there were teams who liked and were interested in some of his players, he said, “Yes, wouldn’t you? We have some pretty good players.” It looks, then, like this is going to come down to how the Phillies perform over the next few weeks. As of Tuesday, they won four of their last five games, including a 13-inning, 6-1 win in Atlanta on Monday night. “Our recent history is not great. We have to see what happens over the next

couple of weeks because we got (Cody) Asche coming back, and we are waiting on Cliff (Lee) to jump back into this thing,” Amaro said. “They (the players) have the ability, and it is just a matter whether the guys put something more significant together.” For the Phillies to put something significant together before the All-Star break will be tough. They have series coming up in St. Louis, Miami, Pittsburgh and Milwaukee, as well as three home series against Miami, Atlanta and Washington. Fourteen of the 25 games before the break are on the road. The Phillies would have to go 17-8 in that stretch in order to finish above .500 going into the second half of the season. Not impossible, of course, especially in a division this, well, unexceptional. But it probably needs to happen or there are going to be lots of new faces around.

Proceeds from the first-ever tournament will benefit Penn State Collegiate Farm Bureau and the Pa. Friends of Ag Foundation. Tournament chair Abe Harpster, of Evergreen Farms, said: “Farming today increasingly demands the skills that a formal agricultural education provides. This tournament will help offer that opportunity through college level scholarships and, at the elementary and middle school level, fund the Ag Lab program that educates younger students about the food they eat. That is an investment for the future which is a win-win for farmer and consumer alike.”

The tournament will be a four-person scramble format with shotgun start at 1 p.m. Fees are $100 per person and include lunch and dinner, along with 18 holes of golf at Mountain View Country Club, only a few miles away from the Ag Progress Days expo grounds outside State College. Make plans to arrive at Ag Progress Days early this August. You could be the lucky golfer who hits a hole-in-one and wins a new Chevrolet pickup truck. Registration for the “Drive for the Future of Ag” tournament is now open. Download an event brochure at www.centrecfb.org. For more information, including sponsorship opportunities, contact Centre County Farm Bureau tournament coordinator Andy Bater at golf@centrecfb.org or (814) 446-2253.

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.

Hackenberg’s inaugural year at PSU not without change By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Somewhere, someone is writing about Christian Hackenberg using words and phrases like “still young,” “growing,” “sophomore.” But Hackenberg is really far more than any of those things. This June marks the one-year anniversary of Hackenberg’s arrival on campus. A kid only weeks removed from his senior prom, 10 pounds lighter and with hair far less flowing than it is today, taking in his new life in Happy Valley. If the monumental task of learning a college football offense in a matter of weeks wasn’t enough, Hackenberg would have to face expectations perhaps unlike any freshman has seen in Penn State’s rich history. He wasn’t just there to play in the eyes of some fans, he was there to win. Months later, Hackenberg would find himself living up to nearly all of the most reasonable expectations, with a Big Ten Freshman of the Year award validating his successes. A few school records, only 12 games into his collegiate career, didn’t hurt his resume either. Even so, Hackenberg undoubtedly has plenty to learn and plenty of room to grow. But he has seen his fair share of change, more than most if you consider the following: n Twenty-one coaches — Between the O’Brien and Franklin staffs, Hackenberg has seen 21 coaches call his name in the hallways of the Lasch Building during the past 12 months. Two head coaches, and 19 assistants, all coming and going faster than Hackenberg could throw a fade route to the back of the end zone. Add support staff

to the mix, and the number rockets even higher. n Two school presidents — Rodney Erickson was still signing the checks when Hackenberg hit the ground in 2013. His sophomore season has yet to really begin and the school has a new face running the show in Old Main, with a new set of goals and priorities. Assuming this transition continues, it may not be long before Hackenberg has seen two athletic directors, as well. n One set of reduced sanctions — “They” said it would never happen, but Penn State saw its crippling sanctions reduced before Bill O’Brien even had a chance to leave town. Hackenberg’s future was suddenly that much brighter with scholarships at the program’s disposal. It may not have changed Hackenberg’s daily routine, but you can bet it was a big day for him and his teammates. n Twenty-one departures — Hackenberg’s final game of the 2013 season also marked the final game for 21 Nittany Lion players. Transfers, graduations and the NFL all took players away from the program. The number grows if you count the ever-changing number of walk-ons. n Six backups — Hackenberg might be the No.1, but a number of players have battled for the No. 2 spot. Steven Bench and Hackenberg never shared the practice field together, but Bench marked the first exit in the backup sweepstakes. Austin Whipple, Michael O’Connor, D.J. Crook, Jack Seymour and Tyler Ferguson have all given it a shot, with both Seymour and Ferguson bowing out of the race. n Two centers, four new protectors — Penn State’s offensive line is anything but solidified and Hackenberg has already gone through two centers in his

career and seen a senior-heavy offensive line return only one starter in 2014. The good news for Hackenberg, though, is that his blindside will be covered by the usually reliable returning starter Donovan Smith. n Twenty-five new faces — With old faces out the door, the 2014 recruiting class has meant Hackenberg now has 25 new names to learn and some new skill sets to get used to. So, yes, it is true. Hackenberg is still, in the most basic sense of the word, “young” and he is a sophomore with plenty of things still to learn. But after nearly a year in Happy Valley, Hackenberg is one of the few constants around these days.

Still reveals his daughter’s cancer battle By JESSICA TULLY StateCollege.com

CINCINNATI — Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle and former Penn Stater Devon Still will look a little different when he returns to the field this season. He shaved his head as an act of solidarity for his daughter, Leah, who was diagnosed with cancer. Leah begins chemotherapy soon and will most likely lose her hair.

Still posted an Instagram video of Leah holding his head, along with the message: “If she gotta rock a baldy so do I ... We’re ready for chemo!! #BeatCancer #IThinkIRockABaldyPrettyWell.” Through his Instagram account, Still is asking fans to keep his daughter in their prayers. “I debated with myself whether I was going to post anything on social media but I felt it would be beneficial for my family ... last night I found out my daughter has

Arts & Entertainment

IST grad aims to shake up entertainment industry By STEPHANIE KOONS Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — Versatility, creativity and innovation are key traits that Penn State’s College of Information Sciences and Technology tries to cultivate in its students. Since graduating from the college in 2012, Ryan Glynn has exemplified those characteristics by launching two companies that aim to make waves in the entertainment industry, in addition to working in the information security field. “I’m kind of doing start-ups mixed with my full-time job,” said Glynn, who majored in security and risk analysis at the College of IST with a focus on intelligence analysis and modeling as well as cyber security. He is currently a senior associate in information security at Capital One in Richmond, Va., where he has been working since graduation. While Glynn has established a comfortable career at Capital One, he also directs his creative energy towards other projects. Since graduating from the College of IST, he has bootstrapped a start-up in digital retail, CinemaRama, as well as co-founded a technology company called mhoto. CinemaRama officially launched in February 2014, while mhoto was established in February 2013. Glynn has been interviewed by Forbes and Al-Jazeera America, along with being published in Engadget and Entrepreneur Magazine. CinemaRama’s mission is to give artists complete control over how they sell their creations and the purpose of the sales. It

is the first site to streamline commercial licensing while also giving the highest payouts of any digital retail company to artists across all mediums, including music, film, voice acting, graphic design and stand-up comedy. “It’s a digital retail service mixed with a payout tool,” Glynn said. CinemaRama is currently in open beta, he said, “which basically means all features are currently operational though we are still trying to make it more intuitive for the user.” The funds were primarily bootstrapped from his own paychecks and savings accounts. “I have been working at various jobs since I was 11 years old and worked three jobs in college, so I had quite a bit saved up when I graduated,” Glynn said. “I was fortunate enough to have two friends that were so passionate about the idea that they also invested some money, which helped bring CinemaRama to where it is today.” Mhoto, which Glynn is no longer involved in, works on composing brand new musical soundtracks based on analysis of text, photos and videos. As its first project, the mhoto team helped HBO in scoring episodes of “Silicon Valley” by using images and video clips of the episodes to compose accompanying soundtracks. The mhoto cofounders were also featured in an episode that recently aired. “When I first started working on mhoto with my co-founder, I was excited because it was entirely different from my bootstrapped start-up,” Glynn said. “The differences between the two startups varied with having another founder and developing a technology instead of a digital retail.

I love challenges, so I saw it as not only a great learning experience but also a good way to challenge myself.” Some people may not see a strong correlation between information sciences and the arts, but Glynn has managed to fuse his technological background with his artistic endeavors. While in college, he did research for Penn State’s International Center for the Study of Terrorism and held a top-secret, full-scope and poly-security clearance until graduation. He also worked as a lab assistant at the College of IST for Ed Glantz and Guoray Cai. In addition, he completed work under Jake Graham in creating a new capstone course for the SRA major. Glynn’s empathy with the struggles of musicians and artists began in high school; he worked in the music industry for seven years as a Web developer and manager. His experiences, he said, made him aware of the conflicts between musicians’ desire for creative control and the business practices of record labels. “With CinemaRama, artist registration is free, which means artists won’t lose money when attempting to sell their work,” Glynn said. “The site gives purchasers the ability to ‘tip’ the artists during checkout, which means the biggest fans will be given an easy opportunity to show the artist that they love their work.” While artists currently have well-known outlets such as iTunes, YouTube and Google Play to showcase their work, Glynn said, CinemaRama offers a number of advantages over its competitors. Instead of taking a flat 30 percent cut, CinemaRama takes 20 percent maximum and 10 per-

cent minimum. In addition, he said, the large companies “force the artists to sell at prices that are beneficial to the retail store; they don’t allow free downloads and they don’t allow the consumers to tip the artist.” “CinemaRama is better because it allows for the best of both worlds, while providing more to the artists,” he said. According to Glynn, his IST education provided him with a foundation of knowledge and experiences that helped him while forming CinemaRama and mhoto. He cited two professors, Glantz and Don Shemanski, for sharing their insights on business and technology law, respectively. “Understanding what your professors’ strengths are and how to utilize them is a huge plus,” Glynn said. Glynn was able to re-connect with his former professors, as well as network with current students, during IST Start-up Week 2014, which was held April 7-11. During Start-up Week, entrepreneurs from across the country, including many IST alumni, shared their strategies for success with IST students and the wider Penn State community during classroom talks and networking sessions. “I remember watching Steve Huffman (co-founder of Reddit and Hipmunk) the first year (of Start-up Week) and thinking, ‘I’d like to do this in the future,’” Glynn said. What advice would Glynn give to Penn State students who would like to carve out a niche as an entrepreneur? “I would say just focus on one idea at a time, because as you work on that project, the idea is going to evolve,” he said.

THE CAST FROM the Playhouse at McConnellstown’s production of “The Smell of the Kill” includes Tara Lee Donahue, Meghan Glad and Shelby Metz.

Playhouse to stage ‘The Smell of the Kill’

HUNTINGDON — Take three delicious, malicious wives, add three miserable, unloving husbands — and chill. That’s the recipe for Michele Lowe’s scrumptious comedy, “The Smell of the Kill,” opening in June at The Playhouse at McConnellstown. This production will replace the previously announced “Be My Baby.” The play revolves around Nicky, Debra and Molly who have tolerated each other during once-a-month dinners for years. While their unseen spouses play golf, the women exchange confidences, and for the first time, reveal that their marriages are on the brink of disaster. Nicky’s husband has been indicted for embezzlement, Molly’s husband stalks her and Debra’s husband is leaving her for another woman. When the men mistakenly lock themselves in a basement meat locker, the women are faced with a life or death decision: Should they leave the men in the cold — permanently — or let them thaw? One by one, the women make their choices with more than a little help from each other. Meghan Whitesel Glad, of Huntingdon, plays Nicky, a new mother and book editor who loves her job. Debra, former realtor and now stay-at-home mom, comes to life through Shelby Metz, of Petersburg. Tara Lee Donahue, of Mount Union, steps in

as Molly, the sweet housewife who can’t seem to escape her husband’s “loving” gaze. The unseen — but clearly audible — husbands include Keith Sutton, Daniel Weston (both of Huntingdon), or Terry Ayers, of Petersburg, as Nicky’s thieving husband Jay; Rick Klotz, of Huntingdon, as Debra’s womanizing Marty; and Clay Glenny, of Mount Union, as Molly’s stalking-obsessed Danny. This dark comedy is directed by Dan Weston with assistance from Jeanne Nagurny (both from Huntingdon). LuAnn Hicks, of Mount Union, stage manages; Rick Brown, of Huntingdon, handles sound design. Technical direction is by Barbara Hughes, of Huntingdon, with set design by Don Deitz, of Williamsburg. Nagurny costumes this production. There will be evening performances of “The Smell of the Kill” at 8 p.m. on three nights, Thursday, June 19, through Saturday, June 21. There will be a 2:30 p.m. matinee on Sunday, June 22. For ticket information, call (814) 6270311. The Playhouse is located at 11680 Raystown Rd, Huntingdon, six miles south of the Borough of Huntingdon in the village of McConnellstown.

WILLIAMSPORT — Tickets are on sale for Pennsylvania College of Technology’s Wildcat Comic Con, a full day of exciting and engaging activities centered around comics, video games, animation and more. This year’s event, scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 27, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., will feature game-design workshops, voiceover actors, comic artists and authors, video-game professionals, a cosplay runway contest and the Hall of Merchants. “Our goal at the Wildcat Comic Con is for children, teens and adults to learn something new,” said Tracey Amey, director of the college’s Madigan Library. “The foundation of everything we plan and provide at the ‘Con’ is to educate and inspire learning.” Last year’s event was attended by more than 1,000 people, many of them returnees from 2012 and some from as far away as Canada. “We want everyone who attends to pack as much programming as they can fit

into their day so they come away from our event having learned something,” Amey added. “Our programming exposes them not just to comic creation, but also to video game development and industrial design inspired by cosplay. “Our panels and workshops are as diverse as filmmaking, voice-over acting and game creation. We want our educational mission to come across loud and clear, while providing a funfilled, exciting day.” To further that purpose, Wildcat Comic Con organizers keep the price manageable and offer free admission to children 12 and younger with a ticket-holding adult. Visit http://wildcatcomiccon.pct.edu to register or for more information. The Community Arts Center, a wholly owned subsidiary of the college, is handling online ticket sales for the event. For information about Penn College, which is observing its centennial throughout 2014, visit www.pct.edu, email admissions@pct.edu or call (800) 367-9222.

New center aims to push the boundaries of 3-D printing By DAVID PACCHIOLI Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — Rich Martukanitz holds two prototypes, one in each hand. Both are models for the same jet engine bracket. The holes where the brackets would attach to the engine line up exactly, and the overall dimensions of the parts are roughly equal, but that’s where the similarities end. The first design, a thick, heavy chunk, would make a good doorstop. The second is a hollowed-out set of spider arms, like a splayed but sturdy rack of ribs. The prototypes are the before and after of an open competition sponsored by GE to redesign an actual engine bracket, making it 30 percent lighter while retaining its strength and mechanical properties. The difference illustrates some of the promise of additive manufacturing. “You’re reimagining components from the ground up,” says Martukanitz, director of Penn State’s Center for Innovative Materials Processing Through Direct Digital Deposition, known as CIMP-3D. “You can manufacture components having features and characteristics that are near impossible to do with conventional processes. And you drastically cut manufacturing time, materials — and cost.” Additive manufacturing, sometimes known as 3-D printing, is exactly what it sounds like. Working from a computergenerated 3-D model, a “printer” puts down layer after layer of material, adding layers until the design is realized in a finished part. Admittedly, there’s a lot of hype attached to this new technology. But there’s plenty of real-world promise, too. “It gives new freedom and flexibility to design engineers,” Martukanitz says. “There’s lots of excitement about this in the aerospace, medical, and oil and gas industries. Additive manufacturing is leading the resurgence of manufacturing in the U.S.” CIMP-3D, created in early 2012, aims to be a world-class resource for that resurgence. A university-wide collaboration, the center draws faculty from the College of Engineering, the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences, the Materials Research Institute and the Applied Research Laboratory. It has its roots in a quarter century

of ARL expertise in laser-based deposition technologies — the core of the region’s powder metal industry. “We were doing this before additive manufacturing was in vogue,” says Martukanitz, “so we have a leg up. When the field got hot, we were able to respond very quickly, because we had the infrastructure and the expertise already in place. CIMP3D just brings everything together.” In early 2013, when President Obama announced the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation , a network of advanced manufacturing hubs, the center was designated as the metals node for the pilot National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute, now known as America Makes. The 8,000-square-foot facility, located in Penn State’s Innovation Park, is operated by ARL, with industrial partners Sciaky Inc., an electron-beam welding manufacturer based in Chicago, and Battelle Memorial Institute of Columbus, Ohio. It includes a design lab outfitted with a polymer prototyping machine, and a manufacturing demonstration facility that houses, in addition to an array of laser-, electron beam-, and ink jet-based deposition systems, an X-ray computed tomography machine that scans the interiors of finished parts, detecting defects and allowing for reverse engineering.

BREADTH AND DEPTH

Researchers focus on advancing the technology, which means everything from improving design and manufacturing processes to basic materials science. Modeling is a major emphasis, and covers not just design but the ability to predict material properties and performance. “It’s really virtual experimentation before we build a part,” Martukanitz says. “We have to address concerns that these processes produce the characteristics required for critical applications. “We’re not making doorstops, or trophies,” he adds. “We want to make critical components: components for electrical and mechanical systems, orthopedic implants and jet engine parts.” For now, the focus is mostly on metal components, which are produced in both near-net and net shape. The first need finish machining, Martukanitz explains,

PATRICK MANSELL/Penn State University

A LASER-BASED direct deposition system, one of several housed in Penn State’s Center for Innovative Metal Processing by Direct Digital Deposition (CIMP-3D). while the latter are ready to go right out of the printer. Already, though, center researchers are looking at the possibilities for making parts from advanced materials, including ceramics and composites. Gary Messing, co-director of the center, is head of the department of materials science and engineering and a ceramic scientist. “Additive manufacturing conditions can be radically different from those for conventional processes,” he says. “There’s a lot of materials science to be done to understand microstructures and properties. But I think ceramics have a role to play in this.” The center was recently named the manufacturing demonstration facility for additive manufacturing by the Department of Defense. Among other things, that means industrial partners can try out processes on the center’s advanced systems, and also get expert advice. A recent change in the university’s intellectual property policy, whereby intellectual property that results from industry-sponsored research no longer is mandated to be owned by the university, has helped attract interest in the facility from large corporations like

Boeing, Northrup Grumman, Moog Corporation, Pratt & Whitney and Siemens, as well as small start-ups and individual entrepreneurs. Martukanitz reports more than 800 visitors to the center since its opening. Last but not least, CIMP-3D boasts a robust education and training program for students and companies. Center co-director Tim Simpson, professor of mechanical and industrial engineering, leads this effort in partnership with Penn State’s Digital Fabrication Network, known as DIGI-Net, and the Learning Factory, where teams of engineering students partner with industry to help solve real-world engineering problems for their senior design projects. “What distinguishes us from other facilities of this type is both our breadth and depth of technologies,” says Martukanitz. “We can cover a wide range of enabling technologies relevant to additive manufacturing, such as design, analysis, materials, processing, characterization and validation. We have faculty interests all over the board. We really are one-stop shopping. I don’t think there’s anyone else that can say that.”

Chamber Day brings together businesses and government STATE COLLEGE — Officials and businesspeople from the Chamber of Business & Industry of Centre County and 29 other statewide local and regional chambers of commerce participated in Chamber Day at the Capitol on June 10. Organized by the Pennsylvania Association of Chamber Professionals and the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry, the annual event brings together local chamber leaders and state policymakers for discussions about issues of importance to the commonwealth’s job creators. This year’s meetings came at a time when the state is beginning to show notable advancements in job growth, but at the same time faces several major policy issues that could significantly impact its business climate. “It’s incredibly important for Pennsylvania’s chamber professionals to hear directly from the state’s top policymakers on issues that impact job growth and the business community,” said Vern Squier, CBICC president and CEO, as well as chairman of PACP. “We all maintain a keen focus on ensuring employers view Pennsylvania — particularly our specific communities — as a welcoming home for business. Chamber Day provides us with insight on priority

matters and enables us to offer input on how to best strengthen the state’s business climate.” During the event, officials heard from keynote luncheon speaker Gov. Tom Corbett, as well as Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, Budget Secretary Charles Zogby, Revenue Secretary Dan Meuser and Labor and Industry Secretary Julie Hearthway. Much of the insight offered included the General Assembly’s legislative priorities in the coming weeks and the challenges facing lawmakers as they craft the fiscal year 2014-15 state budget, with the loss of federal dollars and the state’s growing unfunded public pension liability putting greater pressure on state coffers. Hearthway provided updates on the state’s UC Reform Law and the cost savings to employers, and discussed the Corbett administration’s job creation/workforce development efforts. “Every year, this event provides an opportunity for business leaders from around the state to network and discuss the issues that are most important to our employers with key policymakers,” said Gene Barr, president and CEO of the Pennsylvania Chamber. “It allows participants to hear

more about the challenges and goals of other chambers throughout Pennsylvania. Chamber Day also reinforces the partnership between the Pennsylvania Chamber and our local chamber partners, while highlighting our shared commitment to making our commonwealth a better home for business.” By focusing on issues like workforce development, business taxes and the state budget, the meetings offered an opportunity for the chamber community to hone in on the points that businesses consider most when looking to establish a base, or grow their operations in Pennsylvania.

“It is important that those working on the front lines of economic development and job creation in their respective communities have an understanding of what is happening in Harrisburg,” Squier said. “It is equally as important that lawmakers understand our concerns, challenges and success stories, and how the decisions they make impact our ability to improve the economy and quality of life at the local level. That is the purpose of Chamber Day.” In addition to PACP and the PA Chamber, Chamber Day 2014 was sponsored by CBICC, APPI Energy and the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce.
