Primanti Bros. coming to town By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Get ready, Happy Valley — a legendary sandwich shop is coming to town. Pittsburgh-based Primanti Brothers will take over the spot currently occupied by the Gingerbread Man, located at 130 Heister St. in downtown State College. The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board posted a notice on the door at the Gingerbread Man of the transfer of the liquor license from Hat Trick Group Inc. to Primanti Corp. According to State College Borough officials, the property is currently owned and operated by Friedman Real Estate Group. Primanti Brothers is a late-night staple in western Pennsylvania. The bar/restaurant is famous for its overstuffed “almost famous” sandwiches, which feature some type of meat, tomatoes, fries and a vinegarbased coleslaw piled high on Italian bread.

The restaurant also serves wings, pizza, nachos and other types of bar food. Some Primantis — like the original location in Pittsburgh’s Strip District — are open 24 hours. However, others are open from 11 a.m. until midnight Sundays through Thursdays with extended hours until 2 a.m. on weekends. Catherine Knott, a recent Penn State graduate, said she is excited for Primantis to open in Happy Valley. “I’ve never been there, but I’m going when it opens,” Knott said. “I’m super stoked about it.” Knott said that she’s heard good things about Primantis — from the atmosphere to the food. “I lived in Pittsburgh for two years and never got to go … I feel like I missed out on a big part of being a Pittsburgher,” Knott said. “Now that they are coming (here), I get a chance to try their awesome food.

New emergency system up and running By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

BRITTANY SVOBODA/The Gazette

UP AND RUNNING: Centre County’s new 911 call center has been in operation for nearly three weeks.

BELLEFONTE — All emergency agencies are finally operating under the county’s new digital 911 system. “We’ve been running now fully on the new system … for about two and a half weeks,” said Dan Tancibok, county emergency communications and 911 director, at the Centre County Board of Commissioners meeting on Tuesday. “(There have been) no problems. It’s working great.” Of the feedback Tancibok has received from emergency personnel and dispatchers, he said that the biggest thing has been coverage. “The clarity of the digital network is excellent and works very, very well,” he said. “We’ve cleaned up a lot of the dead spots that we had before. We’ve increased coverage around the county. I haven’t talked to anybody yet that has been displeased with the improvements.” All county agencies are on the system, Tancibok said, and all of the old equipment has been collected and moved out of the new state-of-the-art dispatch cen-

ter. Access to service in the county has increased from about 45 percent to 92 percent. The dispatch center, located in the basement of the Willowbank Building, has undergone a complete rennovation with new equipment and work stations for trainees or more employees. This project, the commissioners said, is part of a federal initiative to update emergency systems and put area emergency personnel under the same communication technology. The new digital system is also self diagnostic, which will allow for quick repairs, and can self update when needed. Talks about updating the previous analog system began about five years ago, according to the commissioners. The old Motorola analog system was installed in the mid-1990s. Motorola no longer makes parts for or services the system though. One possibility is to sell the old system to someone who might use it for spare parts, the commissioners said.

Bellefonte woman defies stereotyping on the job By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

PLEASANT GAP — Quin Koleno, a Bellefonte High School and Central Pennsylvania Institute of Science and Technology graduate, is proving that anything a man can do, a woman can, too. Less than a year ago, Koleno began studying something she never thought she would and secured a highly coveted apprenticeship — among males, that is. Koleno recently started a paid apprenticeship with the Western Pennsylvania Operating Engineers. For four years, she will shadow a heavy equipment operator and then be dispatched somewhere in western Pennsylvania as a full-time operator. “I can’t wait,” Koleno said. “It’s going to be great meeting so many new people. I hope it’s as good of Opinion ............................. 7 Health & Wellness .......... 8, 9

CENTRE COUNTY SPOTLIGHT an experience as CPI was. If it is, then it’s going to be wonderful.” Koleno began attending CPI her sophomore year because the coursework was “much more hands on,” but she didn’t have an interest in being an operator yet. In her first year, she studied building maintenance and in her second, she studied carpentry. Last summer, Koleno was considering not attending CPI anymore because she didn’t see any opportunities for herself based on what she was studying. Her original goal was to be a construction worker, like her father. “I wanted to frame houses,” she said. “But being a girl, that’s hard.

I didn’t see much of a future in that.” To weigh her options and see what else was possible for her at CPI, Koleno met with a counselor who suggested that she switch to studying heavy equipment operation. If it weren’t for her counselor and her mother, who also wanted her to stay at CPI, Koleno said she wouldn’t be where she is today. “I’m always open to new things,” she said, and jumped right into the curriculum. One post-high school route Koleno knew wasn’t for her was college, a fact that she said pushed her back to CPI and into the heavy equipment program. Her backup, she said, would’ve been architectural engineering at Penn Tech or a similar school. Stereotyping, Page 4

BELLEFONTE — A Centre County judge declared a mistrial after a jury failed to reach a complete verdict in a case where defendants allegedly broke into a State College apartment with the intent to start a fight. President Judge Thomas K. Kistler declared a mistrial after a two-day trial on June 16 and 17 that included roughly four hours of deliberation, according to the Centre County District Attorney’s office. Jurors returned to court with only a partial verdict and Kistler then declared a mistrial. The district attorney says prosecutors requested the court have the jury deliberate longer in order to reach a verdict on all charges, but the court denied that request. The jury did not reach a decision regarding the burglary and criminal trespass charges against Stephen Dodd, 22, and Ga-

briel Beecher, 21, both of Milford, but the jury did find the men innocent of simple assault. The jury also found Beecher guilty of underage drinking. The charges are related to a 2013 incident in downtown State College where the defendants allegedly forced their way into an apartment to start a physical altercation with residents. Prosecutors say they were surprised to learn the jury did not reach a verdict on all charges and reportedly asked the court to give the jury a “pep talk” and have them deliberate further. However, the court ruled the jury had adequate time to reach a decision and declared a mistrial. “The standard is whether they can come to a verdict, not whether ‘enough’ time had passed,” the district attorney’s office said in a statement June 18. “The court refused to send them back and recorded the verdict, declaring a mistrial on the undecided counts.”

Kane releases report on Sandusky case By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

HARRISBURG — Attorney General Kathleen Kane said she can’t rule out the possibility that politics influenced the timeline of the Jerry Sandusky investigation — despite a review that concluded there’s no evidence to prove politics was at play. Kane addressed reporters Monday morning in the state capitol after her office released a report that says it took too long to investigate the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse crimes. At issue is how the attorney general’s office, under the leadership of Gov. Tom Corbett, who was attorney general at the time, handled the investigation of Sandusky, the former Penn State football coach who is now a convicted pedophile. Sandusky is serving 30 to 60 years in prison. He was convicted on 45 counts of sexually abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period. When running for office, Kane, a Democrat, promised to investigate how authorities handled the case, at least in part to see if decisions were politically motivated. Corbett, a Republican, was running for governor at the time. The report states there is no evidence to support the speculation that politics influenced decisions in the investigation, other than what the attorney general’s office descries as unexplainable delays before executing a search warrant at Sandusky’s home and charging Sandusky. At the same time, the report concludes that the decision not to file charges sooner fits “within acceptable bounds of prosecutorial discretion, though other prosecutors might reasonably have decided differently.” While addressing the media Monday, Kane declined to issue an apology to Corbett for her previous comments that implied the length of the investigation may have been politically motivated. “What this report says is there was no direct evidence that it was politically motivated,” Kane says. “There are serious ques-

tions as to why those delays occurred ... where there was virtual inactivity for 18 months ... I said from the beginning that we need to ask the questions and I don’t think anybody should apologize for asking questions.” Ultimately, Kane says it’s up to the public to determine the motivation behind what her office says are delays in the progression of the case. The report alleges that between March and August 2010 authorities made no effort to locate additional victims. During that time, investigators did not interview witnesses or serve subpoenas, nor revisit the idea of searching Sandusky’s home or look for earlier allegations of misconduct. The report says the decision by the attorney general’s office to locate more victims before executing a search warrant or filing charges help explain the delay. However, the report says several factors contributed to the delay in locating more victims, including: n “miscommunication at the outset,” n requirements that child abuse allegations that are determined to be unfounded must be expunged from court records n “the failure to take certain steps earlier in the investigation that proved to be fruitful later.” Special Deputy Attorney General Geoffrey Moulton Jr., who drafted the report, says while some people within the investigation speculated delays in the case may have been politically motivated he did not find evidence to support the concern. “Despite that internal speculation ... the report explains that we found no direct evidence that electoral politics influenced any important decision made in the investigator,” said Moulton. The report indicates authorities did not search Sandusky’s home for more than two years after the attorney general’s office received the case. The investigators in the case stand by that decision.

PENNSYLVANIA ATTORNEY GENERAL Kathleen G. Kane released a special report on the Jerry Sandusky investigation on June 23 in Harrisburg. involved with the Sandusky case — issued a joint response to the report June 11. The group argues that when they received the case, the initial claims were varied and uncorroborated and executing a search warrant at that point risked suppression of the warrant. “The costs of such suppression would have been enormous,” the group stated. “Suppression ... would not have only meant the loss of any evidence acquired at (Sandusky’s) residence, but also the loss of the ability to ever charge Sandusky for any victims subsequently identified as a result

of information or evidence found in his residence.” Still, Kane says the reason there were delays in the case remains unknown in her eyes. “This report found no direct evidence, no email, no confession, no statement from anyone indicating they were told to slow down (the case),” Kane said. “Why those delays took place, we don’t know the answer to that. We don’t know what was in their head.”

Hearing officer recommends that Sandusky receive pension By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

HARRISBURG — A hearing officer has recommended to the State Employees’ Retirement System board that Jerry Sandusky keep his pension. Sandusky, a former Penn State football coach, saw his pension forfeited in October 2012 after a judge sentenced him to 30 to 60 years in state prison following his conviction on 45 counts of child sex abuse. At issue is whether SERS’ administrative decision to revoke Sandusky’s pension under the Pennsylvania Public Pension Forfeiture Act was appropriate. In 2004, Act 140, which governs pensions for public employees, was amended to include as grounds for pension forfeiture the crimes Sandusky was convicted of — indecent assault and involuntary deviate sexual intercourse. Sandusky is appealing the decision in an effort to give the funds to his wife, Dottie, who still resides in State College. Ultimately, the SERS board decides what will happen with the funds. Michael Bangs, who is presiding over the appeal process, issued a recommendation to the SERS board Friday which says Sandusky was not technically an employee at Penn State when the crimes occurred and therefore he should be able to keep his pension. In appeal documents, SERS’ attorney Steven Bizar argued under the Forfeiture Act, any public employee who is convicted of a crime forfeits his public retirement benefits. Sandusky was convicted of crimes, which were specifically identified in the 2004 amendments of the Forfeiture Act, as being crimes that merited forfeiture of benefits. However, Sandusky’s attorney, Charles Benjamin, argues Sandusky was not a school employee when he committed the crimes that led to forfeiture of his benefits and that losing his pension violates the Pennsylvania Constitu-

tion. Specifically, Benjamin says Sandusky retired in 1999 and only worked on a “volunteer” basis for Penn State aside from a 95-day emergency hire for the 1999 football season. Bangs agreed with Sandusky’s attorney saying in his order that while Sandusky received a $168,000 payment from Penn State upon his retirement and Sandusky had a partnership with Penn State following his reJERRY SANDUSKY tirement, he was not an employee at Penn State following the emergency hire period in 1999. Between 2000 and 2008, Sandusky received six payments from Penn State for reimbursement of travel expenses. Bangs argues those payments do not equate to “regular remuneration,” which would make him an employee of the university. Additionally, Bangs says Penn State’s $168,000 payment to Sandusky’s at his formal retirement was a severance payment and is not considered salary. “Because (Sandusky) was not a school employee at the time that he committed the crimes, which are subject of this action, his pension is not subject to forfeiture under Pennsylvania law,” Bangs writes. Attorneys for SERS and Sandusky can file exceptions to Bangs’ opinion and to any exceptions, which may be filed. The appeal is likely to go before the board for a vote in the fall. In January, attorneys for Sandusky and SERS presented witnesses before Bangs, including Sandusky, who testified via closed-circuit TV from state prison. After the hearing, Bangs ordered both parties to file written arguments. In the documents, SERS’ attorney Steven Bizar describes the situation as “a unique case, with a

fact pattern that is unlikely to ever be repeated before this board.” Bizar says under the Forfeiture Act, any public employee who is convicted of a crime forfeits his public retirement benefits. “Here, several of the elements necessary to prove that Sandusky has forfeited his benefits are not in dispute,” Bizar argues. “For instance, it is undisputed that Sandusky was a ‘public employee’ solely by virtue of his SERS membership. Moreover, it is undisputed that Sandusky was convicted of crimes, which were specifically identified in the 2004 amendments of the Forfeiture Act as being crimes that merited forfeiture of benefits.” Bizar says a 1999 written agreement between Sandusky and Penn State shows Sandusky was employed at Penn State because the university paid Sandusky $168,000 in one lump sum and provided him with an office, tickets and access to Penn State’s athletic facilities in exchange for a collaborative effort for outreach programs that provided positive visibility to the university’s intercollegiate athletics program. Bizar says Sandusky worked with Penn State to enhance the university’s image from 1999 until at least 2009. For example, Sandusky participated in a program that included distributing hundreds of thousands of trading cards of Penn State athletes. Additionally, Bizar argues that the collaborative effort between Penn State and Sandusky’s charity, The Second Mile, was another image-building initiative for the university. Bizar also argues that Sandusky’s 1999 retirement as football coach was a “sham,” coordinated by Sandusky and former Penn State athletic director Tim Curley that allowed Sandusky to benefit from a state retirement incentive. After retirement, the university immediately rehired Sandusky as an “emergency hire” so that he could coach in the 1999 football season.

Stereotyping, from page 1 Earlier this year, Koleno and several other CPI students, all males, went to Pittsburgh to test and interview for the apprenticeship with the Western Pennsylvania Operating Engineers. “I loved interviewing with them, which was weird because everyone else was so nervous,” she said. Koleno must have done something right because she was offered the apprenticeship. “I was prepared for (one of) them to get the position,” she said. This is a first for a female student at CPI. During her four-year training, Koleno said she expects to help the operator with greasing the machine, turning it on at the beginning of the workday, inspecting it and alerting the maintenance crew if there is an issue. “And, if I’m lucky, running equipment when the operator wants me to,” she said. After her apprenticeship, Koleno will be dispatched to another job site where she will be running equipment full time. Eventually, Koleno said she wants to be a crane operator and frequently stops when she sees one to check out how it’s working. “I can’t wait to be a full-time operator,” she said. “And the wonderful thing about it is that I’m going to be doing what I want to do.” We Accept Food Stamps, EBT, or SNAP Benefits

CONSTRUCTION IS progressing along College Avenue. The State College Borough Water Authority has moved on to the second phase of the project this summer.

Water authority begins phase two of College Avenue project By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — The State College Borough Water Authority has moved on to the second phase of its work to replace a century-old water main along College Avenue. Authority executive director John Lichman said that the first phase is “99.99 percent complete,” having installed a new 12-inch diameter water line down College Avenue from Atherton Street east to Heister Street. All that remains to complete this phase of the process is to test the second half of the line for pressure and bacteria to ensure its efficiency and to make sure it’s safe.

During the first phase, construction crews needed to close one lane of College Avenue. In an effort to keep traffic tie-ups to a minimum, the authority has been working on one block at a time. Now that they’ve made one pass down the busy street, crews will now have to work their way down the length of College Avenue block by block a second time. They’re now connecting the new water pipe to area homes and businesses. Lichman says the most difficult part of this process has been encountering unforeseen underground obstacles. Because of the age of the pipe being replaced, nobody knew the location of rock and other utilities. Now that they’ve figured out where the obstacles are located, Lichman expects the second phase to progress more smoothly than the first. Phase two is tentatively scheduled to last until Tuesday, Aug. 12, though Lichman said it’s possible they may finish as early as Wednesday, Aug. 6. The second phase doesn’t require crews to work as far out into the road as the first phase, which Lichman hopes will make the lives of State College residents a little easier. “I can’t say that we’ll have two lanes open all the time, but we’ll aim for two whenever possible,” Lichman said. “Traffic should be a little smoother than before.” Following the completion of phase two, the water authority will begin the third and final phase of the project. Crews will remove the temporary blacktop currently in place, then completely resurface the affected areas. There will be one temporary delay before everything is wrapped up. The water authority will stop work on the project from Thursday, July 3, through Wednesday, July 16, to accommodate the Fourth of July holiday and the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts.

REBATES UP TO

HARRISBURG — Following the release of a report that criticizes how authorities handled the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse case, an advocate group for rape victims reminds the public that each case is unique and investigations cannot be perfect. The report — drafted by Special Deputy Attorney General H. Geoffrey Moulton Jr. and released Monday morning in Harrisburg — alleges that “the investigation took too long because of crucial missteps and inexplicable delays in bringing a serial child molester to justice.” Kristen Houser, spokesperson for the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape, told StateCollege.com Tuesday that each sexual assault case is unique and real-life investigations are vastly different from scenarios played out on popular TV drama shows. During the Sandusky investigation, senior leadership at the attorney general’s office reportedly wanted to locate additional victims before pursuing charges against Sandusky. Investigators reportedly felt the testimony of Victim 1 was not enough to move the case forward. Houser says most sexual assault cases do go forward with only one victim. However, she says the Sandusky case was unique as his prominence in the community made it more complex. Sandusky, a former Penn State football coach, was highly respected in Clinton County, where Victim 1 resided and attended school. Sandusky met Victim 1 through his charity for at-risk youth.

“The strength of Victim 1 as a witness at that time really wasn’t something (investigators) felt they could count on to win over a jury in that community,” Houser said. Adding to the challenge was Pennsylvania law, which Houser said didn’t allow expert witnesses to testify at trial to educate the jury about normal victim behaviors, such as why the victim took so long to report the crimes. “If something like that goes forward and is dropped and the perpetrator is acquitted in public it emboldens the perpetrator and if other victims are watching it makes them feel helpless,” said Houser. “These cases don’t shake out the way it does in crime dramas on television, they just don’t. Those are fictionalized accounts and fictionalized versions of what really happened. The reality is you have humans making decisions. There’s nothing that is perfect. I keep reminding folks, too, that the criminal justice system is not a sure bet for any sex assault victim.” Houser says the general public has very little knowledge about sexual assault, how perpetrators operate and how the crime can impact a victim. Houser says it’s critical to educate the public about the crime, creating a more informed jury pool. “We need to continue funding efforts to get real information out to the public because ultimately you want a better-educated jury pool. We want them to understand that delayed reporting and partial reporting are common for victims and that victims have other life problems and for juries to see those are vulnerabilities that are exploited … and we’re not there yet,” said Houser.

Experts: Rabid fox attack unusual in Centre County By BRITTANY SVOBODA

June 26-July 2, 2014

School board passes 2014-15 budget

By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT

BOALSBURG — A woman was bit by a fox who tested positive for rabies in Harris Township last week, according to officials. After the attack, the woman’s neighbors captured the fox in a crate. State College police were called to the scene and, based on how the fox was acting, an officer shot and killed the animal. The carcass was then turned over to the Pennsylvania State Game Commission who confirmed that the fox had rabies. It was also reported that another fox was traveling with the one that was captured. Officials are unsure if the second fox also has rabies. “I don’t believe this is something that occurs all the time,” said Capt. Matthew Wilson of the State College Police Department. Since forests and an abundance of wildlife surround Centre County, he said it’s not unheard of to spot foxes and other similar animals. “But this is not happening on a daily basis.” Harris Township manager Amy Farkas said in an email that in her eight years with the township, she only recalls one other rabid animal incident. “These incidents are rare,” she said. While Wilson said that it was very kind of the neighbors to help out the woman, he and the police department advocate staying away from the animal and contacting the police or the Pennsylvania Game Commission. “We’d rather deal with it,” Wilson said. Rabies is a viral disease that affects the nervous system, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Public Health. In a majority of cases, the disease is transmitted via the saliva of an infected animal. Justin Brown, a veterinarian for the Pennsylvania Game Commission, said that rabies is treatable with a shot, but it must be administered before clinical signs of the disease start to show. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, symptoms can be flu-like, including weakness, fever, discomfort and headache. As the disease progresses in a person, they can become delirious and have hallucinations

STATE COLLEGE — The State College Board of School Directors moved forward with two lengthy processes at its meeting on Monday evening by passing its 20142015 budget and approving the high school project’s construction management firm. The board unanimously approved the Citizen Advisory Committee’s recommendation to use the Pittsburgh-based firm Massaro Construction Management Services for the high school project. Board member David Hutchinson says that the management firm is “a very important position” that plays an integral role in coordinating and implementing a construction plan. Ed Poprik, the district’s director of physical plant, told the board that the process of selecting a construction management firm to recommend “was a difficult process, but in a good way.” The district received applications from six firms, which was narrowed down to four choices that were then interviewed by the CAC with input from the board. Now that the construction management firm has been approved, Poprik said his next goal is to assemble the project’s architectural and administrative teams and develop a fleshed-out project calendar. As part of this process, a public meeting will be held with members of local government on Monday, July 14, at 6 p.m. at the State College municipal building. Because of the cost of the high school project, which comes to a total of $115 million, state law required a public referendum. The

A RABID FOX bit a woman in Harris Township last week. and insomnia. Once the clinical signs of the disease appear, it is almost always fatal. Brown said that his lab gets many animals to test for rabies each year and that there are a fair number of positives. However, animals that come in after a human attack are not very common, he said. According to Doty McDowell with the Pennsylvania State Game Commission Northcentral Region, the second fox is not actively being pursued. “Once an animal has been captured and diagnosed, awareness increases,” he said. The Game Commission will respond to any call a concerned citizen makes, like an animal that is acting unusual, McDowell said, but the animal is only tested if there is direct human exposure. If anyone sees an animal acting strangely, they should call their local police department or the Pennsylvania Game Commission to report it.

referendum passed on May 20, authorizing a new 7.2 percent property tax to fund the extensive construction. For a home with an assessed value of $250,000, this comes to approximately $190 a year for the duration of the high school project. This additional cost for taxpayers was one of the major influences on this year’s budget development process, Hutchinson said. Though the district was legally able to increase taxes by up to 2.1 percent, they opted for a lower 1.95 percent increase. The tax hike was partly the result of rising pension and health insurance costs. The 2014-2015 budget has a millage rate of 39.5056. That will result in a $54 tax increase for the average homeowner. School board president Penni Fishbaine said in an email prior to the budget’s final passage on Monday that “the board was acutely aware of the impact of the referendum tax on community members” when planning the approximately $126 million document. Superintendent Robert O’Donnell said the district’s budget may still see some minor fluctuations based on allocations in the state budget, which has yet to be passed. The board also updated the district’s job description for its website and social media coordinator to more accurately reflect the position’s importance for allowing the district to communicate with the public. A five-cent increase was approved to the cost of school lunches, and contracts were also approved for a construction project to improve security at Mount Nittany Middle School.

Smarter phones offer consumer protection By the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Some solutions are just too obvious for words. After initially resisting the idea, the smartphone industry has embraced the solution that law enforcement insisted for years was the best deterrent to rampant theft — a kill switch that renders stolen phones inoperable. Because Apple equipped its iPhones with kill switches months ago, there’s now data to test the theory. During the first five months of 2014, thefts of iPhones were down 29 percent in New York, 38 percent in San Francisco and 24 percent in London. In response, some states have enacted legislation mandating the installation of kill switches, but coercion may not be necessary anymore. It turns out criminals aren’t interested in taking the risk if the stolen items can be reduced to paperweights before they’re unloaded on the overseas black market. Microsoft and Google are planning to follow Apple’s lead by including a kill switch in their operating systems. Soon all Samsung, Nokia and Motorola smartphones will be able to be disabled remotely once owners have reported them stolen. This is a major step forward for an industry that once loathed the idea of the consumer-friendly device.

Who’s at fault for Iraq violence? The breakout of violence and advance of ISIS in Iraq has plenty of folks in Washington pointing fingers. Is the violence President Obama’s fault, for withdrawing troops from that war-torn country too soon? Or perhaps blame can be laid on the George W. Bush administration for launching a war that ended up destabilizing the country? Who is at fault? And what should be done? Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk debate the issue.

BEN BOYCHUK

“Four years ago,” President Obama said in 2012, “I promised to end the war in Iraq. We did. I promised to refocus on the terrorists who actually attacked us on 9/11. And we have.” We did — without victory. We have — with diminishing returns. Obama said al-Qaida was on the path to defeat. Osama bin Laden may have been dead, but the president’s words were empty. The war cerBen Boychuk, bboychuk@citytainly wasn’t over journal.org, is for the people associate editor of actually fighting City Journal. it — the Sunnis and the Shia slaughtering each other, as they have done off and on for centuries. But let’s face it: The sectarian crisis unfolding across Iraq isn’t Obama’s disaster entirely or even mostly. The war was a mistake from the outset. This is a heavy burden for anyone who ever thought the war was a good idea. The Bush administration carried off a brilliant invasion in 2003, and bungled just about everything else. Iraq is a bipartisan calamity. The redoubtable David Goldman, who

BEN BOYCHUK

writes as “Spengler” for the Asia Times, noted the other day, “the trouble is both parties wanted the wrong thing to begin with.” And what was that “wrong thing”? Republicans and Democrats alike thought the United States could make a nation out of messy Mesopotamia. They blithely assumed Iraqis wanted democracy, unity and progress — that these were “universal values.” But instead of making Iraq safe for democracy, we made it safe for sectarian violence, corruption and Iranian influence. We didn’t even get the oil. About the best that may be said of postwar Iraq is that Kurdistan may finally achieve independence and stability in the midst of this chaos. Former Boston University political scientist Angelo Codevilla reflects mordantly in his excellent new (if cumbersomely titled) book, “To Make and Keep Peace Among Ourselves and With Other Nations,” that Americans in Iraq “got killed and maimed on behalf of no objective relevant to Americans’ own peace.” Let it be a lesson to future U.S. presidents who may contemplate war: “Victory” isn’t an abstraction and it mustn’t be an afterthought. If you’re going to ask Americans to sacrifice blood and treasure, for God’s sake fight to win. No more nation building.

JOEL MATHIS

“Victory” — at least as described by my friend Ben — actually is an abstraction. Let’s get concrete: What would victory during America’s war in Iraq have actually looked like? There’s an easy answer to this: We would have intercepted and ended Saddam Hussein’s programs to build weapons of mass destruction. That was our reason for going to war after all. When no such weapons were found, the ability to “win” Iraq became an impossibility; everything that happened after merely an attempt to salvage a world-historical blunder. You can’t really be victorious over a mirage.

Nonetheless, there are many hawks who assert that America did win in Iraq — that it occurred after the “surge” in American troops helped largely pacify the violent country during President George W. Bush’s last two years in office. But that’s wrong: The surge was supposed to buy time for Iraq’s Sunni and Shia factions to work out political settlements to many of the differences that divided them; that didn’t happen. The peace bought by American troops (and their temporary allies in the “Sunni Awakening”) was thus short-lived. The violence we’re seeing now has been inevitable for years. Not that we should get too busy with the blame game. Sunni and Shia have been at odds, mostly, for more than 1,000 years. It’s not the United States’ fault that the two sides tend to be antagonistic. But woe to this or any other country that thinks it can suddenly solve conflicts a millennia in the making — and woe to any country that tries to exploit Joel Mathis, the conflict to its joelmmathis@ own advantage. gmail.com, That way lies is a writer in Philadelphia. quagmire. All of this should make American officials cautious as they assess the latest developments in Iraq. We’re going to back the Iranian-supported strongman against the Saudi-backed rebels? Why? And why would we do the opposite? The violence in Iraq is a tragedy. But jumping in now — again — would probably only magnify that tragedy. We’d just be setting ourselves up for another round of finger-pointing and blame-gaming 20 years from now, still imagining victories that never could be won.

NFL: It is time for a name change The fight over the controversial NFL football team name Washington “Redskins” took an interesting twist recently when the United States Patent and Trademark Office canceled the NFL team’s “Redskins” trademark because of its offensiveness toward American Indians. The team is expected to appeal the decision and will be able to retain its trademark pending appeal, but this is a significant blow against the team and the NFL’s rigid stance that it will not change the name. Without trademark protection, the team and the NFL (through revenue sharing) will lose a significant amount of money on the sale of Redskins’ merchandise because anyone could manufacture and sell products with the team’s logo on it. Getting hit in the pocketbook may be the push needed to get Redskins’ owner Dan Snyder and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to finally do the right thing and change the offensive name. It has been a controversial issue and Joshua Winneker is an assistant fight that has been going on for years professor of with Snyder and the NFL often arguing business at that the team’s name is not racist or Misericordia offensive but rather is celebrating the University, Dallas, American Indian heritage. Pa. A number of American Indian nations, including the Oneida Indian Nation, have publicly come out against this stance and maintained that the Redskins name is derogatory and was historically used as a racial epithet. Commissioner Goodell previously has gone on record stating that the NFL will not force Snyder to change the team name and that, in fact, 9 out of 10 American Indians support his position and the Redskins team name. There is debate, however, on the legitimacy of any such statistic and some American Indian nations have publicly disputed it. Additionally, when asked in the past whether he would ever call an American Indian a “Redskin” to their face,

JOSHUA WINNEKER

Goodell sidestepped the question. It certainly seems that if the team name is truly celebratory like Goodell claims, then he would have no problem directly answering that question. There also has been speculation that the real reason behind the reluctance to change the name is monetary. The team’s name has been the same for so long that changing it would be a significant financial burden to both parties. This justification always has rang hollow to me, especially coming from a league that generates $9 billion annually in revenue and a team that is worth $1.7 billion — one of the most valuable franchises in all of professional sports. Given the USPTO’s recent decision, changing the team name seems to be the logical next step since the purported financial burden justification should now fall to the wayside since the team and the NFL will lose money without the trademark. The question now becomes how much do the league and team truly believe that the Redskins’ moniker is appropriate and celebratory now that they potentially cannot benefit financially from using the name? I highly doubt if the team loses its trademark appeal, it will continue to argue that the Redskins name is that important to the league, the team and to American Indians. It remains to be seen, but the NFL has always been a bottomline-driven league and right now, their bottom-line is looking at taking a hit.

How to prevent lawn mower injuries with children HERSHEY — As many as 7,000 children under the age of 16 are injured in lawn mower accidents in the United States every year. According to Dr. William Hennrikus, of Penn State Hershey Bone and Joint Institute, many injuries are not due to mower operators, but to children who run out into the yard as an adult is cutting the grass or who are passengers on ride-on mowers. Children are typically hurt when their feet and legs are caught by the blades after falling near or from the mowers. Hennrikus says the most common injury is a severe laceration or partial amputation of the lower body. Hennrikus, a former chairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics Orthopedic Society, suggests several safe lawn mowing habits. According to the AAP, children allowed to mow the lawn should be at least 12 years old if operating a push mower or at least 16 if using a ride-on mower. These ages are general guidelines for parents. Additionally, the child’s abilities and maturity level along with their size should be considered. “Some children are smaller in size and they should probably wait until they’re older to consider being in the backyard cutting the lawn with a push mower,” Hennrikus says.

Children should never sit as passengers on ride-on mowers and, in general, children should not be in the yard when an adult is cutting the lawn. “If a child runs out into the area where you’re cutting the lawn, turn off the lawn mower and clear the area before turning it on again,” he says.

SOME ADDITIONAL TIPS:

n Before cutting the grass, clear the lawn of toys, rocks and other debris that can turn into projectiles if run over by the mower. Walk through the grassy area to clear it first. n Don’t compromise feet by wearing flimsy flip flops. Wear only sturdy shoes that cover the feet. n Review the owner’s manual before use or when teaching a teen to use a mower, regardless of the style of mower. n Most manufacturers recommend to not go in reverse and to not cut wet grass or use a mower in the rain. n If cutting grass on a slope or hill with a push mower, go side to side; if using a ride-on, go up and down and be cautious of turns since these models can flip. n Use goggles or other safety glasses to protect the eyes when using any kind of lawn care or landscaping equipment. Hennrikus advises caution when using noise canceling headphones or other means of

Heart rate variability may predict risk of disease HERSHEY — Measuring variability of heart rate may identify premature infants at risk of developing necrotizing enterocolitis, a serious inflammatory condition that can lead to death, according to Penn State College of Medicine researchers. Necrotizing enterocolitis, or NEC, may lead to destruction of the intestinal wall and vital organ failure. It affects 6 to 10 percent of premature infants within the first two weeks of life. “NEC is currently diagnosed by a combination of laboratory and radiology tests, usually done when the disease is already significant,” said Kim Doheny, director of clinical research in newborn medicine and assistant professor of pediatrics. “Since NEC progresses so rapidly and the symptoms develop suddenly, a non-invasive biomarker that allows early detection of patients at risk is required as a matter of urgency.” Heart rate fluctuates in the intervals between beats and contributors to this fluctuation are measured through mathematical analysis.

One of these contributors is the parasympathetic nervous system — the system that controls digestive responses and regulates the organs during rest — represented through measurement of high frequency energy distribution. The researchers studied 70 infants born at 28 to 35 weeks within the first five to eight days of life. The babies were stable with no sign of illness. The researchers then measured heart rate variability in the infants to test whether measuring the high frequency component of heart rate variability may be used as a way to predict an infant’s NEC risk before disease onset. They reported the results in Neurogastroenterology & Motility. Of the 70 infants studied, nine infants that later developed NEC had decreased high frequency in the heart rate variability, suggesting reduced parasympathetic nervous system activity. Of all the infants with a decreased high frequency heart rate variability, 50 percent developed the disease. In contrast, 98 percent of those with a higher high frequency value did not get the disease.

“This shows that measuring high frequency variability during this early critical window of postnatal development has value for identifying NEC risk at a time when symptoms are not evident and interventions to improve the parasympathetic nervous system activity can be given,” said researcher R. Alberto Travagli, professor of neural and behavioral sciences. “This relatively simple, economical, and non-invasive method offers the opportunity to monitor at-risk infants more closely and to test the efficacy of emerging treatments.” The researchers say future research should include a larger sample that also includes measurement of inflammation at the time heart rate variability is measured. Other researchers are Charles Palmer, professor of pediatrics; Kirsteen Browning, assistant professor of neural and behavioral sciences; Puneet Jairath, neonatal fellow, newborn medicine; Duanping Liao, professor of public health sciences; and Fan He, research coordinator.

Geisinger Life Flight introduces new aircraft DANVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Geisinger Health System recently introduced a new state-of-the-art, twin-engine American Eurocopter EC-145 to its existing fleet of Life Flight air ambulances. This is the fifth EC-145 helicopter in the Life Flight fleet, part of an ongoing commitment to provide the best quality critical care to residents in central and northeastern Pennsylvania. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For more than 33 years, we have set the highest level of standards for our crew and our program, and we expect the same from our aircraft,â&#x20AC;? said Jerry Splitt, operations manager for Life Flight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The EC-145 meets those standards and delivers an unprecedented margin of safety when paired with our exceptional pilots, flight nurses and paramedics, all of whom receive the highest degree of critical care training and education.â&#x20AC;? From the scene of an accident to hospital transports, the Life Flight crew provides specialized care in cardiology, pediatrics, neonatology, trauma and neurology, for up to two patients at a time. Medical equipment includes advanced cardiac monitors, defibrillators, cardiac pacemakers and ventilators, intravenous infusion pumps, oxygen, suction units and a full range of emergency cardiac medications. Transport isolettes or â&#x20AC;&#x153;incubatorsâ&#x20AC;? are used to transport premature newborns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We deliver Geisinger quality care in the

air,â&#x20AC;? said Splitt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life Flight is an invaluable service that has helped save countless lives for more than three decades.â&#x20AC;? In addition to the new helicopter, Life Flight will be better able to provide lifesaving transport services to Clinton County thanks to a newly constructed landing zone in Lock Haven. The landing zone was conceptualized as part of a class project by Bryce Bason, a senior at Central Mountain High School and constructed in partnership with Anadarko Petroleum Corporation. It will allow for better transport services from remote areas of the county including the Sproul Forest and the banks of the Susquehanna River. Averaging 2,600 flights per year, Life Flight operates 24 hours a day with a fleet of seven helicopters from air bases in Danville, State College, Avoca, Williamsport and Minersville. Life Flight is a nationally recognized leader in safety, with quality measures that exceed the National Transportation Safety Board requirements. Each helicopter is equipped with single pilot instrument flight ratings, which allows it to fly in the clouds under aircraft traffic control flight plans to safely arrive at a destination in adverse weather conditions, and night vision equipment to ensure a safe flight day and night.

PSU law campuses to operate independently UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Dickinson School of Law of the Pennsylvania State University recently announced that the Council of the American Bar Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar has approved the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal to operate two independent and fully accredited law schools: Penn State Law at University Park and Dickinson Law in Carlisle. The decision by the ABA allows Penn State to develop the respective strengths of its University Park and Carlisle law school campuses. The two campuses, which have operated together as a single law school, will now operate as independent law schools starting with the class admitted in fall 2015. Both schools will offer three-year J.D. programs and graduate law degree programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The full approval of the ABA for operation as two law schools begins the next

chapter of The Dickinson School of Law,â&#x20AC;? said Penn State executive vice president and provost Nicholas P. Jones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe that two law schools operating independently can more flexibly respond to the needs of law students entering a rapidly changing legal profession. Penn State is offering two quality alternatives to prospective students, who can gain an extraordinary law school experience and education, and stand out in the marketplace for those qualities.â&#x20AC;? The change does not affect law students currently enrolled or those who will enroll in fall 2014. The schools will begin independent operations in fall 2015. Prospective students for the class that will start in fall 2015 may apply to either or both schools. Degrees and diplomas from the two law schools will be in the name of The Dickinson School of Law of The Pennsylvania State University but will clearly reflect

their independent and separately accredited status. Both campuses will refer to their affiliation with Penn State, but in general the Carlisle school will be known as Dickinson Law and the University Park school will be known as Penn State Law. The action to gain separate accreditation for the University Park and Carlisle law school locations was supported by faculty at both campuses. Leaders of the schools say the move will allow each location to promote its individual strengths, and create a vibrant environment for the benefit of students. Each school will have separate deans and separate administrations. Gary S. Gildin will serve as interim dean for Dickinson Law; James W. Houck will continue to serve as interim dean for Penn State Law. The university will move to appoint permanent deans in the 2014-15 academic year.

PENN STATE now has two fully-accredited law schools â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dickinson Law School in Carlisle and Penn State Law at University Park.

Rediscovering Happy Valley: ‘Mike the Mailman’ UNIVERSITY PARK — Nearly everyone has a favorite story about Mike Herr, better known as “Mike the Mailman” around Penn State. For generations, he’s managed the University Park post office. Here’s my favorite story about Mike. I stopped into the post office, located across from the HUBRobeson Center, in January to mail some Turkish-flavored taffy to a friend at Louisiana State University. She and I originally met in Bloomington, Ind., when we were both earning our master’s degrees at Indiana University. Since she’s from Turkey, I John Patishnock thought she’d get a is a Centre County kick out of the taffy, native, and his which I found at Gardstories on how ners Candies around he’s reconnecting to the area will Christmas. (Quick side be showcased in note: I should devote “Rediscovering a future column to the Happy Valley,” a craziness of finding column that will Turkish-flavored taffy run every other inside a small candy week in The Centre store in the middle County Gazette. of Pennsylvania, but that’s a story for another day.) Anyway, when I entered the post office, it was like I walked into one of those dreams you have all the time as a kid. All of Mike’s mementos, photos and knickknacks adorned the walls, and it was nice to know that after moving away for four years, some things at Penn State hadn’t changed. A girl at the counter handed Mike a parcel, and after inspecting it for a second, he gave a smile and said, “H and B,” meaning “hi and bye,” since nothing else needed to be done. He turned around, placed the box

JOHN PATISHNOCK

in a bin and another happy customer left the post office. Mike and I chatted for a few minutes, and I told him I had recently moved back to the area. I also mentioned finding the taffy and mailing it to my friend, Zeynep. Although I wasn’t sure if he remembered me from when we initially met years ago, it was good to catch up with Mike. This story seems pretty ordinary, but it’s special for me because it’s the first time I had stopped by the University Park post office since moving home last fall. Mike and I have chatted more than a dozen times since that initial conversation, and I last stopped in the other week when I mailed a letter to Sue Paterno. This caused Mike to remember a conversation he once shared with John Black, the longtime writer of the Penn State Alumni Association’s The Football Letter, and Joe and Sue Paterno. I obviously wasn’t there when the discussion took place, but hearing Mike recall the story seemed almost as good. The Penn State men’s ice hockey team had an open midnight practice last year at Pegula Ice Arena, and I was there. It was pretty exciting, seeing the rink light up as the Nittany Lions and coach Guy Gadowsky interacted with the fans and gave everyone a preview. As I was standing on the concourse, I saw Mike, decked out in a hockey jersey, make his way up the steps of the student section to get a better view. Mike seemed just as excited in that moment as every student was a few weeks later on opening night, and it made me smile, seeing someone who’s lived here his entire life who still seems to be enjoying himself and everything Penn State has to offer. Some people make any event more special and memorable by his or her mere presence. Mike is one of these people. He has the patience of a saint and the demeanor of a soft-spoken rock star, if such a juxtaposition exists.

JOHN PATISHNOCK/For the Gazette

MIKE HERR — aka “Mike the Mailman” — makes everyone feel welcome at the post office on Penn State’s campus. Mike often wonders why so many people make such a big deal out of him. My take? It’s because in a world where everyone feels compelled to update Twitter every 20 minutes and post every event of his or her life on Instagram, he doesn’t have a personal email account or Facebook page. He doesn’t post his status online. Instead, Mike greets everyone who enters the post office with the same courtesy and graciousness. It turns out that stuff still matters to some people. Thousands of students new to State College have credited Mike for making Penn State seem a little more comforting after moving away from home for the first time.

I never had to make this adjustment, as I grew up about 15 minutes away from the University Park campus. I could never relate to that experience, of walking into the post office and having Mike make you feel like Penn State is your home because Penn State has been my home for as long as I can remember. This was true until that moment I walked into the post office in January with some Turkish-flavored taffy. Mike managed to make me feel at ease in a place I’ve always lived, and he did it by being himself, by making a joke and making me feel like I hadn’t ever left. Thanks, Mike.

Volleyball teams get down and dirty for charity By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — The Penns Valley Kiwanis Club hosted its sixth annual Mud Volleyball Tournament on June 21 at the Centre Hall American Legion. Each participating team paid a $100 entry fee to compete in the fundraiser, with all proceeds benefitting several local charities, including the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, Penns Valley food banks and others. Hot dogs, soda and souvenir T-shirts were sold as additional fundraisers. The volleyball court is located in a field adjacent to the American Legion’s parking lot. The Centre Hall Fire Company brought in a tanker truck and pumped the area full of water, resulting in a 5-inch deep pit of thick, gooey mud. The Thunder Dogs, Mud Sharks, Brush Mountain Mud Skippers, the Ladies Auxiliary and S.A.L. (Sons of the American Legion) competed in a double-elimination tourney for medals and bragging rights. Each match consisted of a best twoout-of-three format, with teams switching

sides of the net after each game. Teams were required to win by a two-point margin, which forced many games’ scores above the normal 15-point finish. The referee for the tournament was Carol Fultz, a Penns Valley High School physical education teacher. Perched well above the flying mud on scaffolding at mid-court, she guided the five competing teams through many games beginning mid-morning. The action was fast and furious, with plenty of slips, falls and dives. The Centre Hall Fire Company tanker truck was present with a hose and shower nozzle for the players to do some quick cleanups between matches. When the action was over, the Brush Mountain Mud Skippers repeated last year’s triumph and took home the gold medals. Kiwanis member Skip Shuey said he was grateful to the local businesses that sponsored teams or gave donations to the event, and was especially grateful to the Centre Hall American Legion for providing the site and their support for this tournament.

Ham radio operators will hold public demo STATE COLLEGE — Thousands of ham radio operators will be showing off their emergency capabilities nationwide on Saturday, June 28, and Sunday, June 29. In the Bellefonte/State College area, the Nittany Amateur Radio Club will be demonstrating amateur radio at the Pleasant Gap Firemen’s carnival grounds. The public is invited to come and see ham radio’s capabilities. This annual event, called “Field Day,” is the climax of the weeklong Amateur Radio Week sponsored by the ARRL, the national association for amateur radio. Using only emergency power supplies, ham operators will construct emergency stations in parks, shopping malls, schools and backyards around the country. The group’s slogan, “Ham radio works when other systems don’t!” is more than just words to the hams, as they prove they can send messages in many forms without the use of phone systems, Internet or any other infrastructure that can be compromised in a crisis. More than 30,000 amateur radio operators across the country participated in last year’s event. During public demos, people will have a chance to meet and talk with ham radio operators and learn what the amateur radio service is about. Operators will show the newest digital and satellite capabilities, voice communications and even historical Morse code.

“We hope that people will come and see for themselves, this is not your grandfather’s radio anymore,” said Allen Pitts of ARRL. “The communications networks that ham radio people can quickly create have saved many lives in the past months when other systems failed or were overloaded.” During the past year, the news has been full of reports of ham radio operators providing critical communications in emergencies, including the California wildfires, Oregon and Michigan storms, tornadoes and other events world-wide. In 2005, during Hurricane Katrina, amateur radio was often the only way people could communicate, and hundreds of volunteer “hams” traveled south to save lives and property. When trouble is brewing, ham radio operators are often the first to provide critical information and communications. There are 650,000 amateur radio licensees in the U.S., and more than 2.5 million around the world. Through the ARRL’s ARES program, ham volunteers provide emergency communications for thousands of state and local emergency response agencies, all for free. Information and directions for the local event are on the Nittany Amateur Radio Club’s website at www.nittany-arc.net. To learn more about amateur radio, visit www.emergency-radio.org.

Educational event attracts students from Centre Region STORMSTOWN — The Wildlife For Everyone Endowment Foundation partnered with Forever Broadcasting and Best Buy to host an educational event for students ages 13 to 18 years old on June 9 at the Gov. Tom Ridge Wetlands Preserve. After discussing the history of the wetlands and the site’s features, teams of students explored and took photographs of the wildlife and habitat. The teams then uploaded the photos to tablets and printed them to create short presentations for a panel. The cameras, tablets, a printer and other related items were purchased through a grant of about $6,880 from Best Buy. The winners for the 13- to 15-year-old age group were Logan Holt and Josh Bloom (first place), Bella Pusateri and Brady Albert (second place), and Caroline Bennett and Katie Finlan (third place). The winners for the 15- to 18-year-old group were Kevin Howell and Kevin Bloom (first place), Olivia Shreffler and Emily Payne (second place), and Neil Hosterman

and Darian Harman (third place). “We were excited to be part of this project,” said Best Buy mobile manager Julie Pichora, who was joined by numerous Best Buy employees volunteering at the event. “The outcome was fantastic and the artistic eye some of the youths have is amazing.” “We were thrilled with the turnout at our beautiful wetlands,” said WFEEF administrative assistant Peg Hosterman. “Young people today can enjoy the outdoors and stay connected with technology. Hopefully, everyone enjoyed the event and learned something in the process.” Winning presentations are available online at ww.bigfroggy101.com and pictures are posted to the WFEEF Facebook page. The Gov. Tom Ridge Wetlands Preserve is comprised of more than 135 acres located along Route 220 between Julian and Martha Furnace. For more information, visit www.wild lifeforeveryone.org.

Millheim hosts fifth annual Sprint Triathlon By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

The fundraiser consisted of three consecutive athletic events: a 300-yard swim, a 15-mile bicycle ride, and a 3-mile run. According to triathlon registrars, there were 93 contestants registered for the triathlon, and 17 people signed up for the mini-triathlon, which uses half-length courses. The event is sponsored by many local businesses. The athletes, ranging in age from teenagers to senior citizens, competed as individuals or in relay teams. In the early morning hours, the contestants gathered at the pool, where they started in 20-second intervals. Competitors swam through the pool’s six lanes for a total of 300 yards each. The first swimmer to finish was 12-year-old Sophie Gerhart, of Spring Mills. It was her first triathlon event. Her twin sister, Abby, and their mother, Eva, also competed. A father-son duo, Mark and Andrew Sharer, of Centre Hall, also took part in the event. “We pledged to stay together,” said Mark Sharer. “He (Andrew) said, ‘At what point do I pull ahead of you?’ I said, ‘We’ll see.’” After leaving the pool, the athletes sprinted down a path and across a bridge over Elk Creek to the bicycle racks, where they quickly changed their shoes and mounted their bikes for the 15-mile ride. The ride took them on South Penn Street toward Coburn and back. Race officials stopped traffic on Route 45 for the riders to cross the road. After finishing the bike ride, the athletes embarked on a 3-mile run — a mile and a half out on Penn Street toward Coburn with a return to the finish line at the Soldiers and Sailors Park. Each contestant wore an ankle timing chip, which signaled an electronic timer as he or she crossed a pad at the finish line. All the race timing was handled by Pennsylvania Runners of Williamsport. This group travels to about 200 races in Pennsylvania and neighboring states each year. The triathlon was smoothly run by a group of local volunteers wearing bright green T-shirts for easy identifica-

They were placed at every turn in the road to assure that no one took a wrong turn or got lost. Andrew Braucht monitored the bicycle race start/finish line. Beside him was Justin Wagner, of Freeze Thaw Cycles in State College. Wagner was equipped with a tire pump, boxes of tools and a bicycle repair stand to help riders in the event of any prerace breakdowns. Wagner has helped with the event every

year since its inception. One hour and 15 minutes after the start of the triathlon, runners began crossing the finish line, cheered and applauded by a crowd of spectators and well-wishers. The first runner to finish was Josh Cone, of State College. His father, Ken Cone, stood near the finish line, shooting video of his son’s first place finish.

Centre Hall hosts Relay for Life cancer fundraiser By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — The 10th annual Happy Valley Relay for Life fundraiser for the American Cancer Society was held on June 21 and 22 at the Grange Fairgrounds in Centre Hall. This annual event is one of the top fundraisers of its kind, ranked 15th in its division and 138th in the nation. There were 38 teams of cancer survivors, families and friends walking laps around a course laid out on the Grange Fairgrounds throughout the 24-hour long event. This event honors cancer victims, celebrates cancer survivors and raises money for the American Cancer Society. Two years ago, the event reached a milestone of having raised $1 million over an eightyear span. Every year the Relay for Life has a theme. This year’s, “All in for a Cure,” featured casinos and games of chance. Many team booths were set up like gambling casinos, with playing cards, roulette wheels and dice on display. One booth, called the Flamingo Casino, was populated with flocks of plastic lawn flamingoes. The sponsoring team’s name was the Fighting Flockers. The Friends With Hope team’s booth featured a roulette wheel, where, for $1, visitors could spin the wheel and win small prizes displayed on a table. The mood of the event shifted from humorous to somber and back. The comedy

of the “wacky laps” stood in contrast to the serious mood of the dusk luminaria service, where each glowing bag was a reminder of someone who had lost his or her fight with cancer. The cancer survivors displayed an upbeat and hopeful attitude, serving as role models for those still in the throes of battle with the insidious disease. Event chairperson Sherri CramerO’Donald was pleased with the turnout for the relay, which she estimated to be between 600 and 700 people. She expressed thanks to the relay sponsors, and was also grateful to the Grange Fair organization for the use of the fairgrounds. She noted that the teams work throughout the year, holding yard sales, sandwich sales, etc., to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Relay for Life events are held in more than 600 communities in 20 countries as well as all around the United States. Cramer-O’Donald is a member of the Generations Decking Cancer relay team. The team is made up of 14 family members from three generations. The team name is a play on words, as Cramer-O’Donald’s mother’s maiden name was Decker. The Decker family has been hit hard by cancer over a span of many years. Cancer claimed Cramer-O’Donald’s mother, Katie Decker Cramer, as well as two aunts, several cousins and grandparents. Sue Falatovich, of Boalsburg, helped in the survivors’ tent, along with her daughter, Amanda Bennett. Falatovich was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006. She

Bellefonte Little League All-Star squad dumps State College, 10-0 By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — Bellefonte pitcher Ben Macafee said that this group of Little League AllStars has never advanced past the District 5 tournament. Now, after two impressive 10run victories in two games, Macafee and his teammates look primed to finally take things to the next level. Playing in the second round against State College American, Bellefonte opened the game with a run in the first inning, broke things open with five more in the second, and then added four more in the fourth and fifth to vanquish State College 10-0 in five innings and advance to round three. Macafee pitched four solid innings of shutout, four-hit ball, and Nick Fisher and Tim Shawley each had two hits to lead the Bellefonte offense. The team now advances to play either Penns Valley or Mifflin County on Friday night at a site yet to be determined. “The group I’ve been with for four years straight has never made it past districts,” Macafee said. “So winning the first two really sets off a good start for winning districts.” Bellefonte wasted little time in getting off to a good start in this game. After Macafee wiggled out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the first, Bellefonte pushed across a run in the bottom on a single by Colton Burd, two stolen bases, and a fielder’s choice grounder by Zane Thornburg.

TIM WEIGHT/For the Gazette

BELLEFONTE’S COLTON BURD slides into home safely as State College’s Noah Aungst tries to apply the tag. Aungst dropped the ball on the play. Bellefonte won the game, 10-0. In the second, Bellefonte batted around and scored five runs on four hits, two hit batters, a walk and a costly two-run error. C.J. Funk and Ben McCartney each had an RBI in the inning as Bellefonte showed off its aggres-

sive style — one of the runs was scored on a steal of home — and took a commanding 6-0 lead. “We’ve got a lot of speed,” Bellefonte coach Eric Funk said, “and a lot of guys with a great baseball IQ, so we try to take ad-

vantage of that. “We’ve got a very tough offense — guys that can hit the ball and know what to do when they get on base. Bunting, stealing, whatever we have to do.” Macafee settled down after

a rough, 26-pitch first inning to hold State College to just two hits and no runs over the next three innings. State College’s Cole Friberg did reach third base in the third inning, but he was held after a perfect 6-4-3 double play by Bellefonte ended the inning. Bellefonte added two more in the fourth that made the score 8-0, and then McCartney entered in relief and pitched a perfect 1-2-3 fifth. Bellefonte wrapped up the 10run rule win in the bottom of the inning on a two-run double by Shawley. For State College, Friberg had two hits to lead the team, while Jack Hurley and Ryan Cymbor each had one. “Ben Macafee pitches real well, throws real hard,” Funk said. “That was kind of our philosophy here today to put him on the mound because he can throw the smoke. “And Ben McCartney is the same way. He’s got real good stuff for a 12-year-old kid.” Bellefonte advanced another step in the double-elimination tournament and will attempt to remain in the winner’s bracket with a win on Friday night, probably on the opponent’s field. “Attitude and hustle has been winning us ball games so we’re going to keep going with that,” Funk said. “We pretty much play the same game no matter who we play. We come in, put our plan together, keep our attitude and hustle, and give it everything we got.”

Joyner legacy complicated, but focus should be on stability By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — When Penn State athletic director Dave Joyner retires in August, there may not be much fanfare when he leaves his office for the final time. Controversy surrounds him, and a professional yet sometimes chaffing personality did little to win over the Nittany Lion faithful and, in many cases, the coaches he oversaw during his nearly three-year tenure as athletic director. Those things may have been overlooked in the past. Administrators are often called on to make choices that will be unpopular. In a time when Penn State lacked the luxury of indecisiveness, Joyner was faced with far more hard decisions than easy ones and was nothing if not decisive. But Joyner didn’t take over as AD during a normal time in Penn State’s history. From his seat on Penn State’s board of trustees, Joyner had become the easiest target for Penn State alumni who did not trust the decision makers in the administration. The fallout of the Jerry Sandusky scandal left a divide between alumni and leaders of the university that was nearly irreparable. With that trust and faith eroded, some saw Joyner as the embodiment of a feeling that Penn State was still stuck in its old ways. Critics saw an old boy culture and a lack of transparency, that to a certain extent contributed to many Sandusky scandalrelated issues. In perhaps the most basic of motivations, though — in the minds of a vast number of alumni — Joyner was simply another board member who had voted to relieve Joe Paterno from his coaching duties that fateful November afternoon. They saw him as another member of the “old guard” who their votes could not

reach. The anger and resentment aimed at Joyner was as much a reflection of Penn State’s old way of thinking as it was a legitimate dislike for Joyner’s actions, decisions and comments. But like many people, Joyner will be remembered more for what he did rather than a wide array of emotional opinions that surround him. To that end, Joyner will be credited for the hiring of Bill O’Brien and James Franklin as head football coaches. O’Brien was an undeniable grand slam of hire — more so in hindsight — and James Franklin certainly appears to be a fan favorite, even if his results are still largely to be determined. While some may argue about Joyner’s role on the search committee, his name was atop its formation and, more importantly its results in both cases. In a similar vein, Joyner hired Olympiccaliber coaches who improved the status of their respective programs. Additionally, Joyner looked outside the university for those hires, something that is only a recent trend for Penn State. While Joyner may have never been the ideal leader, he did an excellent job surrounding himself with people who would succeed long after he departed. Joyner also took chances. He supported Penn State basketball’s return to Rec Hall and helped with Penn State wrestling making the move to the Bryce Jordan Center for a meet. During a time when Penn State could have done the safe thing for the next decade, Joyner wasn’t afraid to support bold ideas — ideas that, perhaps, did not have that essential administrative support in much calmer times. Outside of immediate athletic concerns, Joyner and other Penn State administrators worked hand-in-hand with the NCAA and U.S. Sen. George Mitchell to adopt the various suggestions of the Freeh Report. This cooperation was a small part of

what would eventually lead to the reduction of scholarship sanctions, the most painful of the sanctions the NCAA handed down post-Freeh Report. Some will point to the athletic department’s weakened finances, an issue Joyner largely inherited, but one that required a personal touch that he sometimes lacked. Joyner’s personality was not always best suited for the humble confidence of fundraising, but he was nothing but professional when the task required it. Ultimately, though, Joyner’s legacy is simply the foundation he leaves behind. His personality, his credentials and his accomplishments are the footnotes at the bottom of a bigger picture. Because of that it is hard to say that Penn State is in a worse place than it was three years ago. Joyner may not have been a perfect leader, but he was a willing one, and one who managed to hire coaches that increased the status of the athletic department. All of this came at a time when Penn State was doing all it could to stay afloat. “It has been an honor and privilege to serve Penn State,” Joyner said when announcing his retirement. “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.” Many will never give Joyner credit for his accomplishments no matter what he has done. But if the entire Sandusky saga should have taught fans and alumni anything, it is that people are rarely perfect, least of all in trying times. Whatever his faults may have been, Joyner took the job with the best intentions and largely succeeded at the tasks he was required to handle. As a result, Penn State president Eric Barron will have to find a leader who can

pick up where Joyner left off, with a Penn State athletic program that is on solid ground once again. With all the bad that has happened in Happy Valley the past few years, Dave Joyner will leave Penn State headed in the right direction. And despite their anger, Penn State alumni and fans might owe Joyner at least a thank you for that.

The “Group of Death” will kick off its final two games this afternoon with all four teams still in contention to advance into the knock-out rounds of the World Cup. Today, it is the U.S. going against group leader Germany, and Ghana is clashing with Portugal. Germany and the U.S. are tied with four points each, while Ghana and Portugal each have one point. However, threepoint lead or not, things could get sticky for the U.S. if it loses to Germany. A win or a tie, no Pat Rothdeutsch problem. Or, if Ghana covers sports for and Portugal tie, same The Centre County thing. The U.S. makes Gazette. Email him the knockout round at sports@ for the second time centrecounty in a row (something gazette.com it has never done before). But a loss throws everything into chaos. The winner of the Ghana/Portugal game will have four points, tied with the U.S., and throw everything to the tiebreakers, which are, in order, goal difference, total goals, head-to-head points, head-to-head goal difference and head-to-head goals. Still no winner? They draw lots.

That’s football

This all goes back to Sunday night’s thriller against Portugal. Had the U.S won that game, none of this would matter. The U.S. would already be in. And it sure looked like the U.S. would win. After giving up an early goal, the U.S. fought back with two dramatic scores to go ahead in the second half, 2-1. As the time ticked away, past the 90-minute mark and into extra time, the U.S. looked better and better. Until, with under a minute to play, Cristiano Ronaldo struck a perfect crossing pass to Silvestre Varela, who headed it in for the tying goal. There couldn’t have been more than 15 seconds left to play. It was a stunning, unbelievable moment. In the blink of an eye, U.S. fans went from dancing in the streets to the reality of having to keep up with the powerful Germans. I have a friend from England who is a big-time Arsenal fan and who now lives in Maryland. I immediately texted him, “Did you see that?” and “Why didn’t the U.S. have the whole team, plus the coaches and the managers, and maybe even the cheerleaders in front of that net to prevent that goal?” His answer? “That’s football.” So now, the team has to play football against the rested Germans (they have an extra day after playing on Saturday) with another long trip to Recife.

UNITED STATES soccer fans in Richmond, Va., react to Portugal’s tying goal during the last few seconds of a World Cup match between the teams on June 22. After the Portugal game, the U.S. coaches and players put on their best faces, saying essentially that they still won a point, and that they just have to regroup and go after Germany. In its first game, Germany crushed Portugal, 4-0, and then came back late to tie Ghana, 2-2, in the second game. Even with the group-leading six goals

scored, however, and the big four-goal margin over Portugal, the Germans will not want to take any chances. They will be ready for the U.S. So everything depends on how well the U.S. can regroup after Sunday’s game and how well the team can handle the lack of rest and the long travel times. I suppose that’s football.

Wimbush sighting a good sign for Nittany Lions By BEN JONES

The No. 4 rated quarterback in the 2015 recruiting class according to Rivals.com, Wimbush is the co-headliner of James Franklinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first class in Happy Valley alongside offensive tackle Sterling Jenkins. Both Jenkins and Wimbush are a large part of why Franklin and his staff have been able to put together what is considered by many to be one of the best recruiting hauls in the nation. While Wimbush has been firmly a Nittany Lion since announcing his commitment last month, a few Penn State

StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Nittany Lion commit Brandon Wimbush certainly looked the part on Sunday afternoon as he hit the field at Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest skills camp for prospects from around the state and East Coast region. The 6-foot-2, 208-pound gunslinger was impressive all afternoon, although he opted out of most of the physical tests like the 40-yard dash.

Wimbushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attendance at Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s camp should calm the nerves of most anxious fans, though, as he looked right at home with all of Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff. His mom even got in on the action with a Penn State shirt and friendly conversations with Franklin when the two crossed paths during the afternoon. Recruiting can be a dramatic and ever-changing situation, but in the case of Brandon Wimbush, it appears he is plenty happy with the decisions that he has made.

fans have worried that a recent offer from Stanford might give Wimbush second thoughts. Wimbush received the offer while attending a skills camp at Stanford earlier this month and has reportedly been high on head coach David Shaw and his program. Quite a few committed players will attend camps at other schools, something Franklin may have very well supported in the case of Wimbush, but offers during those visits will always put fans on edge.

Arts & Entertainment

Free tickets for film available to military members UNIVERSITY PARK — Each active and retired member of the U.S. military is eligible for two complimentary tickets to see a performance of “Basetrack” at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 29, in Penn State’s Eisenhower Auditorium. “Basetrack,” produced by En Garde Productions, is a multimedia work of contemporary theater based on the words of U.S. Marine Corps members and their families. “Basetrack” takes interactions from social media sites, which enabled military families to communicate with loved ones in Afghanistan, and pairs them with interviews of Marines filmed while they were deployed in the Middle East. The educational and moving theatrical work is a result of leading artists collaborating with service members of the 1st Battalion, 8th Marines. The goal of the project is to create awareness of the challenges faced by veterans and their families and to share the impact of war with people at home. “Basetrack” raises awareness, promotes communication and focuses national attention on the issues facing returning veterans. The production features musicians, actors, a video jockey and a sophisticated projection system with photos and videos taken from interviews in Afghanistan and the United States. The featured Marines share inspiring yet raw stories about the nature of deployment, their experiences of war and the adjustments they have had to make in order to live again at home. “Basetrack” is recommended for ages 14 and older. The production includes the frequent use of profanity and occasional depictions of violence. Parental guidance is suggested.

Audio Description, which is especially helpful to patrons with sight loss, is available for this performance at no extra charge. Artistic Viewpoints, an informal moderated discussion featuring a visiting artist, is offered one hour before the performance and is free for ticket holders. Artistic Viewpoints regularly fills to capacity, so seating is available in a firstarrival basis. In addition, the presentation includes a conversation among the performers and audience members after the show. Complimentary tickets must be picked up at an Arts Ticket Center location (Eisenhower Auditorium, Penn State Downtown Theatre Center or Bryce Jordan Center), and military identification is required. Free tickets are supported, in part, by the Clearinghouse for Military Family Readiness and cannot be included as part of a discounted Choice series. Tickets for “Basetrack” are available for purchase online at www.cpa.psu.edu or by phone at (814) 863-0255. Outside the local calling area, dial (800) ARTS-TIX. Tickets will also be available at three State College locations: Eisenhower Auditorium (weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), Penn State Downtown Theatre Center (weekdays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.), and Bryce Jordan Center (weekdays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.). A grant from the University Park Allocation Committee makes Penn State student prices possible. Engagement activities related to veterans, their families and others are being scheduled in conjunction with the performance. “Basetrack” is funded in part by the New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Theater Project, with lead funding

THREE FORMER MEMBERS of the popular rock/folk band Cartoon will reunite for a show during Arts Fest.

Cartoon reunites for July 12 show

STATE COLLEGE — Three former members of local folk/rock band Cartoon will reunite for one show only at 8 p.m. on Saturday, July 12, at Webster’s Bookstore and Café in State College. The evening will feature solo sets by each performer to include some lesser-known material, as well as all three together for familiar tunes. Special guest and emcee for the evening will be songwriter Stacy Glen Tibbetts. Seating is limited and reservations are strongly recommended. They can be made by calling Webster’s at (814) 272-1410. The event is BYOB, and the $8 cover will include a dessert buffet. Webster’s is located at 133 E. Beaver Ave. in State College. “We were delighted to have left the Arts Festival in 2012 with a fabulous final show at Schwab Auditorium, and I think we’re all looking forward to playing in a more intimate, coffeehouse setting with each other,” said Glenn Kidder, noted for his songs “In My Dreams Tonight,” “Old Graves Lighthouse” and “Round and Round.” “We’ll get a chance to explore some new songs, material that we didn’t get a chance to do with Cartoon. But we’ll be sure to revisit audience favorites as well,” he said. Cartoon, founded in 1980, has been well-known throughout central Pennsylvania and beyond for its tight vocal harmonies, smart original folk/rock songs, and warm and engaging live shows. The band performed during the early 1980s across the state before solidifying around annual reunion concerts at the Central Pa. Festival of the Arts, which drew thousands of fans to Old Main lawn and eventually Schwab Auditorium. The group’s cassette and CD releases, some of which are available at www.cartoon.bandcamp.com, include “Native State,” “Reunion,” “In The Living Room,” “Hubba Hubba” and “The Chapel Sessions.”

UNIVERSITY PARK — After three successful seasons, the Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State will no longer participate in TerraCycle’s Candy Wrapper Brigade. The decision to close the candy wrapper collection program is effective immediately. “I want to congratulate the members of the Green Team here at the center for their good work on this project, and thank all of our partners on campus and in the community,” said George Trudeau, director of the Center for the Performing Arts. “But the circumstances have changed, and it is time now for the volunteers to move on and consider other ways to help the environment.” TerraCycle provides waste collection for hard-to-recycle materials and turns the waste into affordable green products. As part of its Candy Wrapper Brigade program, points were awarded for each wrapper collected. The points were used to make contributions to non-profit organizations and to cover the cost of shipping the wrappers for recycling. “Last fall, we were notified that TerraCycle had lost its corporate sponsor for the Candy Wrapper Brigade and would have to discontinue points for charitable purposes and shipping stipends,” said Shannon Bishop, chair of the Center for the Performing Arts Green Team. “We extended the service for one more semester, hoping that TerraCycle would resume the program. We were able to do that with the help of our friends at the UPS Store across from Wegmans, who helped offset the cost of shipping.” Bishop said the candy wrappers came in part from concession sales in the lobby of Eisenhower Auditorium, but also from individuals, churches and schools in Centre and surrounding counties. In the three years since the center began its program, more than 30,000 wrappers were sent to TerraCycle and kept out of landfills. The program had also earned points used to provide clean water to developing countries, meals to people in need, and school supplies for displaced and at-risk children. The collection also supported the National Wildlife Federation Adopt-a-Wildlife-Acre program. With the points redeemed from candy wrappers collected in summer and fall 2013, the center was able to provide 81 students with supplies and help protect 2,664 square feet of wildlife land. “We didn’t want to abruptly end our program and disappoint our friends, so we continued for one extra semester. But TerraCycle is not reviving the Candy Wrapper Brigade program, so we’ve decided to close the program here at the center as well,” Bishop said. The Green Team is preparing for new projects that will help the center meet its sustainability goal.

R. THOMAS BERNER/For the Gazette

THE WORKS OF local photographer R. Thomas Berner will be on display at Twisted Scissors in Bellefonte.

Berner’s photos on display BELLEFONTE — Twisted Scissors Dezigns in Bellefonte is now displaying a series of photographs by local photographer R. Thomas Berner. Dana Antonuccio announced that 10 high dynamic range photographs taken by Berner at the former Cerro plant are now hanging at her shop at 126 S. Allegheny St. “It’s a great opportunity to highlight the work of local artists,” she said, “and I hope other artists will contact me about displaying their work.” Berner, of Benner Township, spent several days photographing inside the former Cerro plant on Axemann Road, using a photographic process that combines multiple exposures and provides detail that would not normally appear in a single-exposure photograph.

S&T Bank opens branch in State College By JESSICA TULLY StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — It’s no secret the banking market in State College is competitive — there seems to be a bank around every corner. But the leaders of S&T Bank don’t seem concerned. While executive vice president Dave Richards acknowledges the last thing the town needs is another typical bank, he says his staff plans to offer the community something different: consulting. “We’re not here to just sell to people,” said Richards, a longtime State College resident. “S&T has a long history of helping to solve problems.” The bank, located at 141 W. Beaver Ave., opened on June 18. This is the first branch of S&T Bank to come to State College, joining locations in 11 Pennsylvania counties. The bank will offer retail banking services, mortgage services, wealth management, commercial lending and treasury management.

Executives at S&T had considered opening a branch in State College for the past few years but it wasn’t until March that the decision was finalized. Todd Brice, president and CEO of S&T, said he waited until he assembled the right team to run the new office. “State College is an attractive market,” Brice said. “The university brings with it a lot of opportunities. There’s also been a growth in population here. But we weren’t going to come until we had the right team in place.” Brice says he hired Richards and Steve Grim, senior vice president, to lead the expansion because of their banking experience and strong ties to the region. Both Richard and Grim are longtime Centre County residents. “If we thought this was just going to be another bank, we wouldn’t have done it,” Richards said. “We knew we would have to differentiate ourselves. We understand the culture here.”

PSU researchers help PennTAP training works to prevent chemical develop graphene fibers injuries in the workplace

By WALT MILLS Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — A simple, scalable method of making strong, stretchable graphene oxide fibers that are easily scrolled into yarns and have strengths approaching that of Kevlar is possible, according to Penn State and Shinshu University, Japan, researchers. “We found this graphene oxide fiber was very strong, much better than other carbon fibers,” said Mauricio Terrones, professor of physics, chemistry and materials science and engineering at Penn State. “We believe that pockets of air inside the fiber keep it from being brittle.” This method opens up multiple possibilities for useful products, according to Terrones and colleagues. For instance, removing oxygen from the graphene oxide fiber results in a fiber with high electrical conductivity. Adding silver nanorods to the graphene film would increase the conductivity to the same as copper, which could make it a much lighter weight replacement for copper transmission lines. The researchers believe that the material lends itself to many kinds of highly sensitive sensors. The researchers made a thin film of graphene oxide by chemically exfoliating graphite into graphene flakes, which were then mixed with water and concentrated by centrifugation into a thick slurry. The slurry was then spread by bar coating — something like a squeegee — across a large plate. When the slurry dries, it becomes a large-area transparent film that can be carefully lifted off without tearing. The film is then cut into narrow strips and wound on itself with an automatic fiber scroller, resulting in a fiber that can be knotted and stretched without fracturing. The researchers reported their results in a recent issue of ACSNano. “The importance is that we can do al-

The researchers received support from the Research Center for Exotic Nanocarbons, Japan, and the Center for Nanoscale Science, Penn State.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Any organization that handles, uses or stores hazardous chemicals — from nail salons and funeral homes to contractors and manufacturers — must comply with the latest version of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s Hazard Communication Standard or the company risks employee injury and/or OSHA citation. OSHA reports that 43 million workers in more than 5 million workplaces across the country deal with hazardous chemicals and could benefit from training to understand the new rules of compliance. The Pennsylvania Technical Assistance Program at Penn State University will soon offer specialized training for any business that needs to be current with this new standard, HazCom 2012. This training is tailored for front-line supervisors, management, safety committee members and interested employees. Participants will learn how to read labels and safety data sheets under the new format so they can properly manage chemical materials within the workplace and train their employees to understand the new labeling and Safety Data Sheet system. The new HazCom changes bring the United States into alignment with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals, which is expected to prevent injuries and illnesses, save lives and improve trade conditions for chemical manufacturers. This new OSHA standard is designed to improve safety and health for America’s
