Temple Court project moving forward By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — Two area construction companies have submitted bids to the Centre County board of commissioners for the Temple Court Building Phase 1 project, which is expected to begin later this month. The project includes constructing a three-story, 140-by-10-foot hallway to connect the Temple Court Building and Courthouse Annex. G.M. McCrossin Inc., of Bellefonte, proposed a bid of $1,369,500, and Leonard S. Fiore Inc., of Altoona, proposed a bid of $1,772,000. The deadline to submit bids to the county for the project was July 7 at 4 p.m. The commissioners said they will check to make sure both companies have properly submitted all of the necessary docu-

ments and hope to have a decision by their next meeting on Tuesday, July 15. “We’re on a pretty tight timeline on this project,” chairman Steven Dershem said. The project needs to be completed by the last day of this year, a factor that, along with it currently being construction season, vice chairman Chris Exarchos said could have driven the number up past what they anticipated. “I was a little surprised,” Dershem said about the dollar amounts of the two bids. “I was hoping for a little lower number. But I guess it is what it is. We’re asking a lot for that project.” The commissioners said that all necessary permits have already been secured from the borough. “This is a very specialized project,” Dershem said. “But I think both of these Temple Court, Page 5

Final tribute for Russell will take place at Arlington

STATE COLLEGE — The tributes to retired U.S. Marine Col. Gerald S. Russell, a World War II hero and community leader, continue weeks after his passing. Russell died on Feb. 24 at 97. On Wednesday, July 16, Russell will be interred at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va. He will receive a full military ceremony, with the exception of a 21-gun salute. “I think it’s a fitting tribute to the man,” said friend and family spokesman Brent Pasquinelli. “The way he lived his life is an inspiration to us all. For those of us who knew him, we’re very fortunate. He was always giving, he was always teaching, he was always mentoring. He had a very unique style of leadership. He led by example.” Pasquinelli is one of many Centre County residents who will board a bus next week to make the trek to Arlington. The bus departs from State College at 6:30 a.m. and will return at approximately 9 p.m. The bus is filled to capacity, Pasquinelli said. “The bus is full,” Pasquinelli explained. “There’s about 55 of us and there’s around 80 who will meet us there. We’re going to have people coming in from all over the country.” There are several guests who will speak about the impact Russell had on State College and beyond. Among those expected are Gen. James Amos and retired Lt. Gen. Larry Snowden, both of the U.S. Russell, Page 6

According to Duerr, the children’s garden has come together nicely. However, there was a lot of mud, sweat and tears along the way. “It’s amazing. The people who worked on this garden — the masons, the landscapers, Penn State, OPP, the artists, the designers — people coming together with that kind of experience and creating something like this was just fascinating to watch,” Duerr said. The children’s garden is designed for visitors between the ages of 3 and 12 and their families. The hope is that visitors will enjoy the outdoors, learn together and discover the natural world. Throughout the garden, plantings featuring native Pennsylvania species create a natural setting and illustrate the biodiversity of plant life in the region. Prominently placed and used throughout are natural limestone and sandstone boulders and walls evoking the local landscape and telling the story of the geologic history, Duerr said. Duerr said that design choice was extremely important. Those in charge of putting the

UNIVERSITY PARK — A year after winning their first division title, the State College Spikes are near the top of the standings again. Jason Dambach, the team’s senior vice president and general manager, discusses his extensive experience working in minor league baseball — 10 years with the Altoona Curve and six with the Spikes — as well as what’s unique about working at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park and how the community has embraced minor league baseball. CENTRE COUNTY GAZETTE: Looking back at last year, how much fun was last season and winning as many games as that team did? JASON DAMBACH: Last year really started back in September 2012, when we made the announcement that we were going to go with the St. Louis Cardinals. There was a lot of anticipation through that offseason, and they absolutely delivered. It provided a dynamic for us that we’ve never had beJASON DAMBACH fore: the ability to not only market all the fun stuff off the field, but couple that with a fun, competitive and winning product. It really made for a terrific season. CCG: At what point during last season did you realize that team had the potential to have a special season and win the division? JD: I guess you never really know at the short-season Class-A level, because the success of the team really depends on the major league draft, and certainly you don’t what that’s going to bring until a week before opening day. There certainly was a lot of talent that was in the Cardinals’ organization last year, but the team was supplemented by the draft, and that’s always the X-factor. It probably wasn’t until mid-July that the team hit its stride and then just finished off with a tremendous August. We went 30-8 at home and had a lot of exciting victories, eight walk-off victories. So it wasn’t just the fact that we had a winning team, but it was the way they were getting victories that really energized everybody. CCG: From a front-office perspective, how much carry-over can you hope or expect after last season,

Arboretum opens new children’s garden By CHRIS MORELLI

editor@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The vision is complete. The Childhood’s Gate Children’s Garden at the Penn State Arboretum has officially opened. A soft opening took place under sun-splashed skies on Monday morning. “There’s still some fine tuning, which I think it will be interesting for the kids to see,” said children’s educational programs coordinator Linda Duerr. “Some features are yet to come. Gardens grow, so it will be wonderful for people to experience that. We’ve been anticipating this for so long. It’s exciting to see kids in there.” The children’s garden has been several years in the making. It’s located within the H.O. Smith Botanic Gardens. The garden is described by designers as a unique space for exploring nature, fostering wonder, and celebrating the plants, animals and geography of central Pennsylvania. Penn State childhood development experts worked with the design firm EDAW/AECOM and the arboretum’s leadership and staff to create a garden that is truly a microcosm of the regional landscape.

PSU student in critical condition By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — The Penn State University freshman hit by a pickup truck while jogging Thursday morning is in critical condition, according to medical officials. Eva O’Brian, 18, of Berwyn, is in critical condition at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, spokesperson Katie Delach said Wednesday. Authorities say O’Brian was injured when she reportedly ran into the path of pickup truck driven by Zachariah Spicer, 24, of State College.

West Park Avenue at about 9:45 a.m. while the victim was reportedly jogging in a nopedestrian zone and wearing earbuds. Investigators say the pickup truck that hit O’Brian was heading south on North Atherton Street. Police do not expect to file charges against the driver. O’Brian was transported to Mount Nittany Medical Center and was later transferred to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Penn State Spokesperson Lisa Powers says O’Brian recently began attending summer classes as a freshman. Police say the Penn State Office of Student Affairs was contacted to provide assistance to the student’s family.

Allie Goldstein approved as student trustee By JESSICA TULLY StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The Pennsylvania Senate approved second-year doctoral candidate Allie Goldstein as the sole student member of the Penn State board of trustees. Her approval comes two weeks after she received a nomination for the position from Gov. Tom Corbett. “Allie is a dedicated student and civic minded leader who will proudly represent the interests of her fellow students on the board of trustees,” Corbett said. “She brings a student-centered focus that is essential in her new role.” Goldstein replaces Peter Khoury, who graduated in May, as the student trustee. The Senate confirmed Goldstein’s nomination just in time for the next board meeting, being held in Schuylkill today and tomorrow. One of the most important items on the July agenda is setting tuition costs for the 2014-2015 year. The trustees have acknowledged in the past the benefit of hearing the student perspective when considering tuition. In the spring, Khoury’s looming graduation set in motion the formation of the Student Selection Committee, which con-

sidered applicants for the next student trustee. The committee recommended Goldstein to Gov. Corbett, who proceeded to nominate her to the Senate. “I was really surprised and quite honored to find out the students had selected me as someone they trusted to serve in this capacity,” Goldstein said. “All of the students are leaders who are invested in the future of Penn State, and each of them are individuals who I look up to both personally and professionally. For them to instill such faith in me is something I find humbling and recognize as meaningful. I look forward to the opportunity to continue to represent the student voice on the board.” Goldstein is studying higher education at Penn State. She says she applied for the role of student trustee for the same reason she chose higher education: She’s passionate about “student development and the college experience.” She says she believes universities have the potential to make a big difference in students’ lives. The decisions the board makes with regard to programs, interventions and priorities can be the driving force toward ensuring student success. On top of her demanding Ph.D. schedule, Goldstein serves as the managing editor for the Higher Education in Review,

graduate assistant in the higher education program, Graduate Student Association delegate for the College of Education and representative for the Faculty Senate Committee on Library, Information Systems and Technology. “I thought about ALLIE GOLDSTEIN the amount of time I would be investing into my application and potentially the position. I decided it was 100 percent worth it,” Goldstein said. “If the committee determined that I was the student they wanted to serve in this capacity, I would be both honored and ready to fill that role. I know how much of a commitment the student trustee position is, and look forward to dedicating my time to building connections, hearing from the students and representing the student voice on the board.” Goldstein received her master’s degree in post-secondary educational leadership from San Diego State University in 2012 and bachelor’s degree in communications from the University of Buffalo in 2010. Although she’s only been at Penn State

for two years, Goldstein says her background will be beneficial to the university’s board of trustees. As a student from multiple universities, paired with her knowledge of higher education and love of Penn State, she is equipped with a unique perspective to bring to the board. “While I may no longer be an undergraduate, and while I may not identify with all of the different characteristics the student body at Penn State represents, I genuinely care about making those connections, and hearing what matters to students from all different backgrounds,” Goldstein said. “I am excited to work with the various student organizations, and to make myself available to those who may not be affiliated with any organizations, so that I can adequately represent the diverse student body we are fortunate to have at our institution.” Although the position of student trustee is not required under the Penn State Charter or the board’s bylaws, a student has been one of the six governor-appointed seats since the 1970s. A proposal requiring a student presence was considered but was eventually tabled in May. The change will be considered as part of a larger package of proposed governance reforms.

Borough takes major step to purchase school By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — Despite many concerns and questions raised, State College Borough Council decided Monday night to purchase the College Heights School and then lease the property to an alliance of nonprofit groups under specific terms. With a 5 to 2 vote, council agreed to exercise the borough’s right of first refusal with the North Atherton Street property owned by the school district. Council members Tom Daubert and Peter Morris voted against the measure. The move is subject to the Collaboration of Arts, Social Services and Education signing a memorandum of understanding with the borough, which includes taking on the financial responsibility of roughly $1.5 million in estimated repairs, as well as signing a 20-year lease covering the $450,000 purchase cost. All documents must be signed by council’s next meeting on Monday, July 14. If CASE cannot sign the agreements by Monday, council could revisit its decision. Council made the decision after architecture firm Fernsler Hutchinson estimated repairs, including bringing the building up to code and removing hazardous materials, would cost the borough between $1.55 and $1.75 million — in addition to the cost to purchase the property. At issue for the last six months has been the pending sale between the State College Area School District and Penn State. The university agreed to pay the school district $400,000 for the property — which the district hasn’t used as a school in years — to house University Press offices,. However, the borough has first right of refusal on the property, a right it has until Wednesday,

July 16, to exercise. After the school district announced its intent to sell the school to Penn State, CASE came forward as another party interested in the property. The group’s 11 organizations, from social services groups like Centre County United Way to education groups like Mid-State Literacy, want to operate under one roof and share expenses. The intent is to make College Heights School a sort of community center that offers classes and services. Council member Theresa Lafer has been a major proponent of the borough buying the building and then leasing it to CASE. While many other council members questioned whether CASE could handle the financial responsibilities at the property, Lafer remained confident. “One of the things we have to think about here is: Is this good for the community, whichever way we go, and how does the community feel about it,” Lafer said. “I believe CASE is capable of paying their rent and paying their share of the repairs over time.” Lafer acknowledged the borough would have to pay $450,000 upfront for CASE to pay back through rent over 20 years, however, she says the investment is necessary. “I think that’s exactly what local government is for, to make possible centers that are good for the community,” said Lafer. “I’m not saying this is cheap and I’m not saying it’s easy. I do think it’s doable.” Councilman Evan Myers says the borough purchasing the school is a financial risk. “It’s still a million dollars. The money is the money. Somebody still has to make good on that money. We can slice this a whole bunch of ways, but fundamentally

that’s the issue,” said Myers. “If CASE is unable to pay this over the long term then the finances come down to the government and the citizenry.” Still, later in the meeting, Myers said the measure is worth the financial risk. “Maybe, if it’s a big leap of faith, it’s one we should take,” said Myers. On the other side, Daubert said the financial risk was too great for him to support the measure. “There are so many thing that we don’t know about. One of the most important things is I don’t think we want to be land-

lords, I really don’t,” said Daubert. “I have a very difficult time on this. While I agree with the goals, I certainly do not think at this time and with the information we have we should exercise our right of first refusal.” Morris agreed the measure was too costly. “I think that the problem is the amount of money is horrendous. The buckets of money … are pretty full. It’s a lot of money. And one of the things that we’re supposed to be up here is prudent about the borough’s money,” said Morris.

Former White House chef to visit Happy Valley By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Being catapulted inside the trust of the first family and Secret Service is not something most people are privilege to. John Moeller found himself in this position, however, after he returned from his time abroad as a chef and student. Moeller, a White House chef for 14 years and Pennsylvania native, will visit State College as part of Happy Valley Culinary Week to promote “Dining at the White House: From the President’s Table to Yours.” In his memoir, Moeller details his time abroad as a cook at various bistros and restaurants in France.

into his return to the United States and how he found himself as a chef in the White House. There are also more than 100 recipes from menus that Moeller prepared for special events at the White House and first family dinners. On Monday, July 14, Moeller will sign copies of his book from 2 to 4 p.m. at Kitchen Kaboodle, 104 W. Beaver Ave., in State College. From there, Moeller will be available for conversation and book signing from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Penn State Downtown Theatre, 146 S. Allen St., in State College. Copies of his book will be available for purchase at Kitchen Kaboodle for $35. From 1992 to 2005, Moeller served three first families, during which he was able to use his experiences from France coupled with his love of using fresh, healthy and local ingredients to produce authentic and unique dishes. As one of the few “privileged to be on the inside looking out,” Moeller said it was a “pinch yourself” experience. “I would ask myself,” he said, “‘is this really happening?’” Moeller recalled meeting first lady Barbara Bush during his first luncheon as head chef, which he described as “extraordinary.” “(The first families) were like our friends,” he said. “We were inside their circle. The best part was, I saw them in a non-political light. We were there to make their stay as comfortable as possible.” After he left the White House in 2005, Moeller said that the possibility of sharing his experiences was always in the back of his mind. Moeller and his family left the Washington, D.C., area in 2010 and moved to his hometown of Lancaster, Pa., where he opened State of Affairs Catering. While doing events, he would frequently talk to the guests about his time at the White House, which he said was always received well and had people interested. Soon after, a Lancaster-based publishing house, American Lifestyle Publishing, approached Moeller about cater-

From there, he met with Mike Lovell, the company’s owner, and the two collaborated to create the memoir/cookbook hybrid. Moeller’s original idea for the book, he said, was “Menus of the White House,” which would feature the more than 400 menu cards of the meals he prepared during his 14 years there. He quickly realized, however, that his culinary journey needed to be explained and include some historical information. Since being published last September, “Dining at the White House” has received two Benjamin Franklin awards (a gold medal for Best Cookbook of the Year and a silver medal for Best Memoir of the Year) and one IPPY award (silver medal for Best Celebrity Memoir of the Year). It was also a Book of the Year award finalist for Best Cookbook of the Year. All of this, Moeller said, “completely shocked” him. Chef, Page 6

July 10-16, 2014 Spikes, from page 1 in terms of fan attendance and excitement? JD: What it did was it energized the core fan base, your season-ticket holders. It gave us an opportunity to open every conversation, talking about what kind of a team we had last year. From the overall perception of the franchise, it was important but I don’t know to what degree you can give credit to the team last year. It’s a nice talking point, it’s certainly something that energized the fan base last year, but ultimately, in our business, it’s still about getting out there and selling. It’s about actually being proactive and selling the brand. CCG: To follow on that, how busy are you in the offseason and how often are you talking to fans? JD: It really begins from the day after the final out of last season. We started the planning process, and we started with our season-ticket holders and tried to retain as many as possible and grow that. As you get a schedule, you can go after groups and businesses, and try to put a plan together to fill the seats. We’re at it all off-season. We have a core of about 11 full-time staff with the franchise, and we’re here year-round. We might each take a week of vacation, close up between Christmas and New Year’s, but other than that, we’re here pretty much every day. CCG: How did your experience with the Altoona Curve help prepare you for your position with the Spikes, and what did you expect when you came to State College? JD: The biggest thing I remember, we felt this was a good market. But at the same time, you’re never really sure how the team would find its niche in the community, especially with this being a very collegiate atmosphere. But one thing we knew all along was that this would be a centerpiece of summertime entertainment. There are a lot of folks in this community who look for something to do in the summertime and it provides a great, fun, affordable family night out. It hits every demographic, so we knew that would be successful. CCG: When you were at Altoona, were there conversations or a sense that minor league baseball would eventually find a home in State College? JD: I think that’s a reason why our ownership group (led by managing partner Chuck Greenberg) took a very proactive approach to making sure that if there was going to be minor league baseball here in Centre County that it was our group that would organize it and bring it here. And we were fortunate, very early on, from the time our ownership group took charge in Altoona, the discussions had already begun with Penn State. They had a vision as well, to have an upgraded facility for their baseball program. … Fortunately, it got in good hands, and it’s been a

very successful franchise, and we’re going to try to keep it going as strong as we can. CCG: When you have a top-shelf facility like Medlar Field, how much does that help entice fans to attend games? JD: It’s great; it’s such an advantage for us to have a clean, accessible wide-open facility. It’s so nice to be able to sell fans on the fact that this is going to be a good experience, it’s going to be safe, easy to maneuver around and it’s clean. So it’s a big advantage for us to sell that to fans. Believe me, I don’t want to have any experience selling baseball in an old facility; there’s a certain charm in some of those ballparks, but what we have here in State College really is second to none. CCG: Working in minor league baseball for as long as you have, how much of this is a job, and how much of it is you just enjoy being at the ballpark? JD: I tell all of our staff that you can go work any other job, and you might work a little less hours or you might get paid a little bit more, but there’s no greater sense of satisfaction than when you put on a great show, and everything comes together, and the fans leave happy. Opening night was a great example. I said to our staff, “I know it’s been a lot of hours and none of us have slept in the week leading up to it, but I promise you Saturday night at about 11:00 when the last person leaves this ballpark, we’ll be able to look back and have a large sense of pride.” I don’t really believe that there’s anything you can do in your professional career that’s going to measure up to the sense of pride you can have when you spend nine months planning an event and you execute it well, and everybody is happy. That’s the thing that keeps me coming back, so that’s what I love about what we do. CCG: Now that you’ve been here for a couple of years, how has State College embraced minor league baseball? JD: I think what’s great about this community is that they have embraced everything that minor league baseball has to offer. They’ve embraced the baseball, they’ve embraced the promotions and they’ve embraced the ambience of the ballpark. Everything that minor league baseball has to offer — it’s not just one thing, it’s many things and people have a lot of different reasons for coming to the ballpark. The fan base here has responded and when we do promotions, they get behind it and they respond. When you have a winning team on the field like we had last year, they responded. It’s ever-evolving, you’re always learning about your fan base, but I think overall, I couldn’t be happier with the connectivity the community has had with the Spikes. There’s no question that State College is a very strong minor league baseball market, it’s a professional baseball market, in addition to all the other great things that it has to offer.

Temple Court, from page 1 companies have the experience to get it done right.” Eventually, the commissioners said that the 120-yearold Temple Court Building will be completely gutted and rebuilt. The board also approved an agreement between the county and Wayne Township Landfill in Clinton County. David Lomision, director of the Office of Transportation, said that the county will use the township’s public compressed natural gas fueling facility for county-owned vehicles as a backup in emergency situations. Centre County’s only CNG site is currently at located CATA’s main office. Lomision said that the county’s CNG vans frequently take trips to Clinton County. “It would be nice to send my CNG vans on those trips knowing that there’s a fueling facility there,” he said. “We would still realize a savings of over $1 per gallon if we were buying CNG from them compared to gasoline.” It costs about $1.05 more per gallon to fuel CNG vehicles in Wayne Township, Lomision said, but that’s because CATA prices are “phenomenal.” “It’s a good move to have multiple sources of fuel,” Exarchos said.

Children’s garden, from page 1 children’s garden together wanted to make certain that the local elements were not overlooked. “When you have an opportunity to learn about where you live in a very personal way, a very natural way, a very wondrous way … speaking personally, for me, that’s important. I’ve lived here for 30 years and I’ve learned more about this area in the past year through this project. I figure that other people — when they come — will have that ability to learn something new about where they live,” Duerr said. As she walks around the children’s garden, Duerr said she is amazed by what has taken shape over the past several months. “You talk about something and you look at a plan on a piece of paper. You say, ‘that’s going to be a cave.’ We were basically walking around a rock garden. Now, you can see that we’ve created something here that is really unique,” Duerr said. As the final pieces of the puzzle are put in place at the children’s garden, Shari Edelson is savoring every single moment. Edelson is the curator and director of horticulture at the children’s garden. “Absolutely,” Edelson said. “We have some work remaining in the garden, but that’s not going to impede people’s enjoyment of the garden. We wanted to open as soon as possible and we’ll be able to complete our work as people are enjoying themselves in the garden,” Edelson said. Edelson said that she hopes children from Centre County and beyond will come to visit the children’s garden. “We want this to be not just a university resource but a community resource. We want to be universally welcoming. We have close ties with the communities outside the university and this is just a ‘next step’ in sort of broadening our outreach. It feels like it’s right along the lines of our mission,” Edelson said. Inside the children’s garden, those exploring will find just about everything in the natural landscape of central

STATE COLLEGE — A developer for the long anticipated Fraser Centre in downtown State College announced at Monday’s borough council meeting that Hyatt Hotels has formally agreed to be part of the project. “That’s a formal completion. Documents done, signed, sealed and that’s going to be a major part of our development,” says co-developer Gary Brandeis of Real Estate Capital Management. Brandeis is one of the new developers and owners of the site on South Fraser Street at West Beaver Avenue. They took over the property in October and say the now vacant lot will be transformed into a 153-foot-high structure with hotel, retail and residential space. The hotel entrance will be on Beaver Avenue. Brandeis says developers are still in negotiations with retailers for the site. Chef, from page 4 Throughout his culinary career, Moeller said he has always been big on using local and fresh ingredients in dishes. He began attending the Lancaster Central Market — the country’s oldest continuously operating farmers market, according to its website — in the 60s and 70s when he was still discovering his passion for cooking. “I was exposed to it at a young age,” he said. When Moeller attended culinary school at Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island and then studied and worked in France, he said he was able to incorporate his knowledge and love of using local foods even more. “I still love to go to the market and see what looks fresh and good,” he said. Sometimes, Moeller said, he doesn’t even go with a specific meal in mind to buy for. With no plan, he is able to create something unique and quite often with new ingredients. “That’s what cooking is all about,” he said. While Moeller worked at the White House, he had a 20by-50 foot garden in his backyard where he grew a variety of foods. From there, he said he would often take things such as fresh salad greens to the first family and other White House diners. “The first ladies loved that,” Moeller said. Moeller recently frequented the State College and Penn State area to attend classes on teaching techniques for a culinary class he taught. Although Moeller is longer teaching, he said it might be something he revisits in the future. Moeller lives with his wife, Suryati, and two sons, Alexander and Zachary, in Lancaster. Happy Valley Culinary Week is a weeklong celebration of local food and restaurants. The event includes chef demonstrations, among other activities, throughout Centre County.

Russell’s amazing life has been well documented. After graduating from Boston College, Russell enlisted in the Marines. His military career included deployments on Guadalcanal, where he was wounded and contracted malaria, and at Iwo Jima, where he fought for all 36 days. As one of the youngest battalion commanders in World War II, he was responsible for 1,000 troops. Russell retired from the Marines in 1968 after 30 years of service. Afterward, he came to Penn State where he became assistant and speech writer to Penn State President John Oswald with a co-appointment as assistant secretary to the board of trustees. In 1973, he was promoted to assistant professor and dean of the Health, Physical Education and Recreation College. He was promoted to associate dean in 1977 and held that position until he retired in 1987. Russell was heavily involved in several community programs including Toys for Toys and the Pennsylvania Special Olympics, holding various leadership roles. Russell also helped start the annual Centre County United Way Day of Caring, during which people from area businesses, schools, service organizations and Penn State spend the day helping out nonprofits, historical sites and municipal organizations. “He inspired and motivated people to follow his lead,” Pasquinelli said. Over the years, Russell also arranged for the Honor Guard, Marine Corps Band and Marine Corps Silent Drill Team to participate in opening ceremonies. Despite heart surgery and broken hips, Russell remained active in Special Olympic preparations. Make no mistake about it, though, Russell was also a family man. “Somehow, he maintained a very solid, loving relationship with his wife, Eileen. He also raised two wonderful, successful daughters, even though he moved a lot. I think he moved 22 times in 28 years with the military. He was a man who never quit. He was on the go continuously, but he was always able to get back to his family,” Pasquinelli said. The Arlington ceremony is open to the public. At 12:15 p.m., the group will meet at Old Post Chapel in Fort Myer, Va., adjacent to the cemetery. There will be a procession to Arlington for a graveside ceremony. “This is his final journey,” Pasquinelli said. “It’s really a wonderful tribute to Col. Russell.”

Women hit again by Supreme Court By the San Jose Mercury News This U.S. Supreme Court session has been tough on American women. A couple of weeks ago the court struck down laws requiring buffer zones for protesters around Planned Parenthood clinics, even though some abortion opponents have advocated killing doctors and have severely intimidated women trying to access health care — more than 90 percent of which, at Planned Parenthood, does not involve abortions. Then came the Hobby Lobby outrage: With another 5-4 vote, the court granted closely held corporations an exemption from the Affordable Care Act if owners’ religious beliefs oppose contraception, which the law requires companies to cover. Technically it’s a narrow ruling, affecting only companies owned by individuals or small groups. But Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, in a scathing dissent, says the court “ventured into a minefield” by letting companies opt out of any law, short of taxes, based on religious claims. The majority based its decision on legislation signed by Bill Clinton that granted a much narrower exemption to religiously based nonprofits. Hobby Lobby, a chain of craft stores owned by the evangelical Green family, has no religious purpose. In allowing for-profit companies like this to refuse to cover contraception, the Supreme Court’s five-member conservative majority has dismissed women’s health as a compelling public interest. Worldwide, the single greatest factor in lifting societies out of poverty is women gaining the ability to control when they become pregnant. Contraception allows them to avoid pregnancies that would threaten their lives or health or their families’ stability. This is why there is a powerful public interest in making contraception readily available in this country, particularly to low-income women — the folks companies like Hobby Lobby typically employ. Middle-class and wealthy women can afford birth control, but it would take a minimumwage worker a month to earn the cost of an IUD, Ginsburg noted. Contraception further avoids the anguish of considering abortion when a pregnant woman’s health, or ability to support herself, is in peril. Many conservatives oppose abortion and also oppose government assistance, pejoratively known as welfare, which predominantly goes to women and children. The Affordable Care Act, for all its flaws and missteps, was spot on in its treatment of birth control. The five men who make up the Supreme Court majority in this case were wrong to erode its public health imperative.

Some advice for new VA secretary MEMO TO: Veterans Affairs Secretary-designate Robert A. McDonald RE: The VA’s crisis is even worse than you think! Your good news is that the White House, Congress and Department of Veterans Affairs are no longer in denial about the reality that things have gone terribly wrong in the VA hospitals. Indeed, all America finally knows the systemic shame of VA hospitals’ treatment delays, faked records Martin Schram and cover-ups. writes political analysis for And apparentScripps-Howard ly, the monstrous News Service. job of fixing the VA is yours. Republicans are praising your experience as Procter & Gamble’s CEO. Your Senate confirmation seems assured. But the publicly released summary of White House deputy chief of staff Rob Nabors’ excellent tough-truth VA report to the president, which focused mainly on VA hospitals, leaves one major concern: Your new bosses probably still haven’t grasped the full breadth, depth and pervasiveness of all that was allowed to go so wrong, for so long, at the VA. VA pension and benefits claims bureaucracies are failing our military veterans and their families as shamefully as the backlogged VA hospitals are.

MARTIN SCHRAM

PENSIONS

Bill, a severely wounded World War II veteran, had a postwar career in the post office. When he died in January 2011, his widow, Diane, si-

multaneously sent the VA and U.S. Postal Service all the vital documents, requesting her share of both pensions as Bill’s surviving spouse. USPS immediately calculated Diane’s pension share and her first check arrived when Bill’s would have, in February. But half a year went by without a VA pension check. As her living expenses mounted, the VA asked for documents she’d already sent. I’d heard of Diane’s plight, asked a VA official about it; Diane got a phone call from the VA the next day. Diane’s first VA pension check arrived in August. I asked a top VA official why the VA couldn’t simply do what the USPS did for the widow. The official launched into a long explanation about VA lawyers and the need to determine if Bill died due to old war injuries, which would mean a larger pension. So I naturally asked: Couldn’t the VA instantly pay her the base pension? And then pay her more, retroactively, if it proved to be a service injury death? The VA official’s eyes widened, he slapped his palm down on the conference table, then scribbled a note to himself. Yes, he said, that’s a better way to do it. He’s a good person; but his managerial mind has been shaped by the VA’s cultural mindset. Changing that mindset is the new VA secretary’s most urgent challenge.

BENEFITS

When VA claim adjudicators issue denials — as they often do — an appeals process begins. The appeals court remands some 60 percent of the claim denials back to the adjudicators for reconsideration due to one mistake or another. And it all starts over again. The top level appeals court has ruled the denials of the VA adjudicators and next level board of appeals were right in a mere 24 percent of the cases that got to the court. No wonder the VA’s benefits claim backlog was recently reported to be

one million.

HOSPITALS

Here’s a proposal — give veterans a Vet-Med card that works like a Medicare card, and pays for treatment where service is best and waiting times are brief. Not all hospitals need to provide top-level treatment for all maladies. In cities, some hospitals send major cardiac and cancer cases to another hospital specializing in those problems. At the start of the Obama presidency, I sought to persuade the new VA secretary, Gen. Eric Shinseki, to focus on the full scope of VA failings. I’d just written a book chronicling sad cases of VA delays and denials of benefits and treatment. But back then Shinseki was in denial about what the book — titled, “Vets Under Siege: How America Deceives and Dishonors Those Who Fight Our Battles” — was warning. Back then he didn’t believe the subtitle. And especially, he probably didn’t grasp the validity of my conclusion that an adversarial mindset had permeated the VA. Too many employees saw their jobs as assuring veterans didn’t get benefits they didn’t deserve. I urged that VA employees must see themselves first as veterans’ advocates, tasked with getting veterans what they’d earned. Nothing more, but surely nothing less. Even in his last days, Shinseki told Congress there were only a “limited” number of “isolated” cases where VA hospitals falsified delay records. Only in his last hours did the four-star general admit he’d been deceived by a “systemic ... overarching environment and culture” within the VA. There is one way our new bold VA secretary can change the VA mindset — by changing the VA’s name. Let all VA employees know, first and foremost, they now work for the Department of Veterans Advocacy.

Obama skirts system of checks, balances President Barack Obama, whose power abuses have played a role in the imperilment of tens of thousands of children and earned him slaps by the Supreme Court and the threat of a suit by House Republicans, has promised more of the same. If Congress doesn’t give him what he wants on immigration reform, he said he is going to change things himself. What that could well mean is unilaterally instituting a broad amnesty program of his aides’ devising. It’s the kind of performance you would more likely expect on a “Saturday Night Live” stage than in the Rose Garden. There he nevertheless was, telling us “America cannot wait forever for them to act.” By “them” he meant House Republicans, by “act” he meant passage of sweeping legislation that meets his approval and by “forever” he meant passage is unlikely this year. While no one can say for sure all Jay Ambrose is that comes next, a New York Times a columnist for story says the administration may give Scripps-Howard News Service. “work permits and protection from deportation to millions of immigrants now in the country.” Except that it would be much further reaching, this move could render something akin to the two-year, renewable, constitutionally questionable amnesty already granted by Obama in 2012 to more than a half-million immigrant youths who came here illegally as children. This presidential venture is now seen as a factor encouraging great crowds of poor children unaccompanied by parents to come to the U.S. border. They come mostly from Central America, were sometimes escaping criminal violence but seem to have thought in many instances that amnesty applied to them and may yet see a new amnesty grant that does. Many have had to walk through desert in temperatures over 100 degrees. Many of the girls have been raped. The U.S. Border Patrol can do little else but take care of them. What might a second amnesty do even as Obama brings more agents from the interior of the country to the border? The larger point is that here we have just one of numerous instances of the president flirting openly with autocracy. He acts as an unaccountable king of the hill in myriad ways: how he releases terrorists; regulatory overkill; and

JAY AMBROSE

endlessly rewriting laws with nothing passed by Congress, for instance. Jonathan Turley, a liberal professor of constitutional law, sees a vast “usurpation of authority” in which Obama gets away with misdeeds even President Richard Nixon only dreamt about. For the sake of a constitutionally ordered, democratic, free republic, Turley has been banging drums to get more reaction from Congress and the courts. Just lately, there has been a flicker of judicial hope in a couple of recent Supreme Court decisions, such as a unanimous verdict that recess appointments bypassing the Senate will not stand because the Senate was not in recess. Since most Democrats won’t sign on, Congress has done little to restore the crucial system of checks and balances, but here comes Republican House Speaker John Boehner with the threat of a suit to stop the usurpation. The responses have been varied. Turley is all for it, some scholars say the House has proper standing and then there are those resorting to irrationality, such as in comparing numbers of executive orders signed by different presidents. Obama comes in low on the graph, but these orders were not all created equal, as cleverer souls note; many by Obama were hugely awful while many by other presidents were perfectly OK. An even worse argument chiefly from the left is that Obama has had to act because Congress won’t do what he wants. In other words, effectuating arguable Obama policies is an end that justifies the catastrophic means of ignoring rule of law. But did Obama really cross that line? “When a president does it, that means it is not illegal,” Nixon once said. Whoever thought there would come a day when so many liberals echoed the sentiment?

Preventing ACL injuries in children HERSHEY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; With the growing number of children participating in competitive sports, injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, of the knee are on the rise in young athletes. According to athletic trainer and physical therapist John R. Wawrzyniak, Penn State Hershey Therapy Services, the best way to avoid this knee damage is proper training. Athletes who participate in flexibility and strength training and use proper form can reduce their chance of non-contact ACL injuries by up to 50 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tell every parent that I talk to, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I would rather be training your kids or talking to you about preventing these injuries than seeing you in the clinic two days after your ACL reconstruction,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he said. Wawrzyniak recommends training for children who are in middle school or older who are starting to play competitively. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think a big reason a lot of these kids get injured is because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve missed the fundamental movement patterns that we used to teach in physical education class,â&#x20AC;? he said. Since many have not learned the proper way to jump and land or how to control their bodies, they are predisposed to injuries. He reminds parents to consider certain factors when allowing their child to participate in any sport. â&#x2013; Children should want to do the sport. â&#x2013; Make sure they have the basic skills the sport requires. â&#x2013; Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t over-train them. Children need off seasons and rest periods. â&#x2013; Do not rush them to return after an injury. â&#x2013; Prepare them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to throw them out there into a highly competitive environment without some kind of conditioning base,â&#x20AC;? he said. Parents of girls should be especially diligent because girls are three to six times more likely to tear the ACL than boys. Girls are known to land a jump more with a stiff knee, predisposing them to abnormal knee motion with the potential for ACL tears. In addition to potentially sparing them pain, training could help athletes avoid surgical reconstruction from an ACL tear followed by a six- to 12-month rehabilitation period. It can also help athletes prevent the possible longterm effects from injury, such as being unable to return to their previous level of competition or even ending their sports career. ACL injury is associated with earlier progression of osteoarthritis. If left untreated, an ACL injury can lead to other structural knee damage.

Additionally, it has been reported that the overall rate of a second ACL injury, either to the same or opposite knee, within two years of the original injury, is six times greater among those who undergo ACL reconstruction as compared with those with no history of ACL injury.

New procedure offered STATE COLLEGE — Mount Nittany Health Center for Wound Care now offers the CelluTome Epidermal Harvesting System for skin grafting. Unlike traditional skin harvesting, which removes a large area of healthy skin, the CelluTome System offers a more precise, minimally invasive option for epidermal harvesting using a tool lined with small holes. The tool warms up the skin and creates suction. The heat and suction lift healthy epidermis, the outermost layer of cells in the skin, from what is called the “harvesting site,” or the area containing healthy skin. This is done without injuring blood vessels/nerves or otherwise damaging the harvesting site. The healthy epidermis is placed over the wound, and as soon as the new skin roots to the wound, the healing process begins. Unlike traditional skin harvesting for split thickness skin grafts, which is typically performed in a hospital setting, harvesting epidermis with the CelluTome System is performed in an outpatient setting at the Center for Wound Care. The harvesting site typically heals within one to two weeks. For more information, visit www.mountnittany.org.

Pagnotto received his bachelor’s degree from Penn State University in 1983 and his medical degree from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1988. He is board certified in family medicine and is certified in hospice and palliative care medicine. Pagnotto is also a member of the American College of Physician Executives and is pursuing his master’s degree in business administration from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

Roush named dean of College of Agricultural Sciences UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State has announced that Richard Roush will be the new dean of the College of Agricultural Sciences, pending approval by the University Board of Trustees at its meeting on Friday, July 11. Roush is currently the dean and a professor at The University of Melbourne’s Melbourne School of Land and Environment in Australia. “We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Roush as our newest dean. His leadership experience and distinguished scholarship will help advance the College of Agricultural Sciences in a significant and impactful way,” said Nick Jones, Penn State’s executive vice president and provost. “He has a tremendously exciting vision related to the academic profile of the college and he brings a considerable breadth and depth of knowledge and experience to the position. “I’d also like to thank Barbara Christ, who has served as interim dean for the college, providing steady guidance as we conducted our search,” said Jones. “I am pleased also that she will continue to serve in this capacity until Oct. 1.” Roush replaces Bruce McPheron, who left Penn State in November 2012 to be-

come vice president for agricultural administration and dean of the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at Ohio State University, his undergraduate alma mater. Since McPheron’s departure, Christ, senior associate dean and professor, has served as interim dean of the college. “There are global challenges facing agriculture, including feeding a projected 9 billion people without further damaging the environment and opportunities for greater export income,” said Roush. “The breadth and depth of Penn State puts us in a great place to help meet these challenges and opportunities, for the benefit of the state, nation and the planet. I very much look forward to joining the team.” Roush has served in his current position at the University of Melbourne since 2006, leading an academic staff of 95 that generates between $20 million and $22 million in annual research income. Roush received his Bachelor of Science degree in entomology from the University of California, Davis, in 1976, and his doctorate in entomology from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1979. From 1981 to 1986, he was a faculty

member and researcher at Mississippi State University, an associate professor at Cornell University until 1995, and associate professor at Australia’s University of Adelaide from 1995 to 2003. From 1998 to 2003, he was CEO of Australia’s Cooperative Research Centre for

Weed Management. For three years, from 2003 to 2006, he directed the Statewide Integrated Pest Management Program at the University of California, also serving as interim director of the school’s Sustainable Agricultural Research and Education Program from 2004 to 2006. Since 1987, Roush has consulted for corporations such as Eli Lilly, DuPont, Monsanto and Dow on the management and prevention of resistance to conventional and biological pesticides, and genetically transformed plants. Over his career, he has received more

than 25 personal grants for research totaling more than $3.6 million. Roush also received a research grant in Australia for $20.3 million (U.S. $19.1 million). A member of the Entomological Society of America since 1979, he also was a founding member of the Australian Council of Deans of Agriculture, which was established in 2007. Roush has written nearly 100 articles in refereed journals and contributed to more than 30 books. He’s been a reviewer for multiple journals, including Evolution, Science, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and the Journal of Economic Entomology. In his role as dean of Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences, Roush will oversee one of the largest integrated academic and outreach units of its kind in American higher education. With research expenditures approaching $97 million annually, the college is one of the most research-active among its peer institutions, and serves 3,000 undergraduate student, as well as 580 graduate students, through its nine academic departments.

South Hills awards degrees, diplomas to 92 grads STATE COLLEGE — South Hills School of Business and Technology recently held its commencement ceremony at the Penn Stater Conference Center. Associate degrees and numerous diplomas were awarded to 92 graduates from the State College, Altoona and Lewistown school locations. The celebrative atmosphere at South Hills’ graduation can be compared to the personalized learning environment the students are used to at their campus on a daily basis. Cheers of congratulations and support were extended by the 1,100 family and friends in attendance. A child’s voice was heard shouting, “I knew you could do it, Mom!” Megan Dobson, of the Lewistown campus, was given a special graduation gift as she stepped across the stage to accept her diploma in criminal justice. Dobson was greeted at the podium by a surprise visit from her grandmother who was not expected to attend the event due to illness. Instant tears of happiness flowed from the graduate and many others in the audience who witnessed the happy moment. Bellefonte resident Adam Wood, a 2014 graduate from the diagnostic medical sonography plus program, represented his class as guest speaker from the State College campus. “Attending, and more importantly, graduating from South Hills is a team

sport. Students band together to pull each other through, but are many times seen kicking and screaming,” Wood said. “From flash cards at lunch, to late night group texts, to wildly inappropriate acronyms designed to help everyone remember all the aspects of the autonomic nervous system — it truly is a reason to be proud of the time we spent here.” South Hills School President Maralyn Mazza addressed the graduates with a list of ways to get up and make each day a good day as they start their new careers. She encouraged the graduates to take their positive attitudes, knowledge and training to be forces for good at work and in their neighborhoods. Keynote speaker at this year’s commencement was Jayne Nelson, a South Hills’ graduate with two degrees from the diagnostic medical sonography and health information technology programs. She is currently the director of health information management at Mount Nittany Medical Center in State College. Nelson congratulated the graduates. “You made one of the best decisions in your life when you decided to pursue a career through South Hills School. Now it is time to step out of your comfort zone by networking with other professionals in your field to stay knowledgeable,” she said. Many graduates have begun the networking and job-seeking process already. As a qualification for graduation, all South

Penn State to offer first MOOC entirely in Chinese UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A popular Penn State massive open online course that explores the science of creativity will be available in Chinese, making it the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first dual-language MOOC. The six-week MOOC, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Creativity, Innovation and Change,â&#x20AC;? will open Monday, July 14. It will be taught by Penn State engineering faculty and hosted online by Coursera. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each lesson, video and communication with students has been translated so that Chinese speakers can take this course and will not have to rely on English,â&#x20AC;? said Jack Matson, one of the co-instructors and emeritus professor of environmental engineering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This addition will bring another international perspective to a course in which students interact in discussion forums and on assignments.â&#x20AC;?

Penn State first offered the MOOC last year, and more than 130,000 people from 195 different countries registered for it. It had the 10th largest enrollment ever out of Courseraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offerings. Matson and his colleagues expect the dual-language offering likely will make the Chinese enrollment in the MOOC the largest of any country other than the United States. Penn State graduate students Huihui Zhang and Tian Fu translated the course materials. For Zhang, a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s student in educational and instructional technology, and Fu, a doctoral candidate in education, the process had to go beyond a word-for-word translation to Chinese for their work to be successful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about translating the meaning of

the content so that it makes sense to the Chinese students,â&#x20AC;? Zhang said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There should be a connection to understand the culture, to understand the class content and to effectively make it work together.â&#x20AC;? For example, Zhang and Fu said they needed longer, more contextual explanations to translate some words or phrases into Chinese, such as the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;diversity.â&#x20AC;? Each of the six lessons in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Creativity, Innovation and Changeâ&#x20AC;? will consist of short videos supplemented with reading materials, exercises for the students to explore their creative abilities, and discussion forums. The instructors hope that the learners unlock and harness their creativity to be positive forces in their communities across the globe. At the end of the course, students also

will be encouraged and instructed to take on a project theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always wanted to do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want people to first become aware of their innate creativity,â&#x20AC;? said Kathryn Jablokow, a co-instructor and associate professor of mechanical engineering at Penn State Great Valley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to teach them about the different forms of creativity, give them awareness, give them a basic process for creativity and innovation, and help them see there are steps and stages, so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel lost.â&#x20AC;? In addition to Matson and Jablokow, the other instructors are Darrell Velegol, distinguished professor of chemical engineering, and Elizabeth Kisenwether, an assistant professor of engineering design.

4thFest delights community revelers By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Last Friday marked the United States’ 238th birthday and another great Independence Day celebration with the Central Pa. 4thFest. From the Firecracker 4K to the spectacular fireworks, there were more than 12 hours of family fun, with activities and entertainment for everyone. While 4thFest executive director Bernie Keisling said that the event would happen if the weather was cooperating or not, there were no worries this year as temperatures stayed in the 70s for most of the day. It was quite windy at some points, which Keisling said affected the runners during the 4K and the helium balloons during the parade. It did help to clear the sky during the fireworks, however, so each blast was perfectly seen, he said. “Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful day,” he said. While the organization is still gathering information about the festival’s attendance, Keisling said that early indicators show that this year’s crowd number was at a record high. “It is really a tribute to our volunteers,” he said. And for both those attending and volunteering at the annual festival, it was a magical day. The Fedor family, of Bellefonte, said they have been attending 4thFest since they moved to Centre County from New Jersey about eight years ago. Andy Fedor said that one of the things that drew him to the event was that the fireworks have been ranked as one of the best shows in the country. “That surprised me,” he said. While Terri Fedor said that their favorite part of the event is the fireworks, they do enjoy participating in the other activities

that take place throughout the day, such as seeing the Shaver’s Creek animals. “The beautiful weather makes it an even better event,” she said. This year’s 4thFest was a first for Amanda Grazier, of Altoona. She said she came with her family for the fireworks display, but was impressed by the amount of food vendors and other activities as well. “I definitely plan on coming back,” she said. Ashley Clauer, of State College, said she’s been volunteering for the past five years at 4thFest. “It’s a great party,” she said. While she was volunteering at the information tent this year, Clauer said she has been involved with a variety of things at the festival, including fireworks setup. “A lot of people volunteer year after year,” she said. “It’s great to see a lot of familiar faces.” Denise Glass and Wendy Myers, also of State College, began volunteering about 16 years ago when they were asked to help out at the free hot dog tent. This year, about 50 volunteers helped grill and hand out 3,600 hot dogs and bags of chips. Both said that they are happy with how many people turned out for this year’s festival. “The festival has become a huge part of the community,” Glass said. “And today’s weather is just perfect,” Myers added. Many things — such as the hot dog tent, parade, stage entertainment, birthday cake from Giant Foods and fireworks — have become a yearly staple at 4thFest, but the newer attractions, like the BMX riders and lumberjacks, were also well attended throughout the day. The daylong event, like every other year, culminated with the fireworks show. Thousands of people set up all around

After sharing Madison-grown strawberries, Madison-brewed beer and Madison-produced cheese curds with these people — some from start-up cooperatives, others from cooperatives that were formed long before I was saying “broccoli” — I’m happy to report that 253 is a fine answer to that question. (The co-op just started accepting members in March.)

MICHELE MARCHETTI

According to Suzi Carter, director of programs and partnerships of Food Cooperative Initiative, a nonprofit that exists to help start-ups such as Friends and Farmers, “Recruiting 253 members in just a few months is amazing, and among the strongest stage one campaigns we’ve seen.” Make that 254, as another member joined since I last checked. That’s 254 people who have invested money to build a grocery store that reflects their core principles. Some have invested because of their belief in the cooperative model, in which members are also the owners. Others want to shop in a store that will help them make the best food choices for the people who gather around their dinner tables. (While visiting Willy Street Co-op, a cooperative with 31,800 members, I asked a few people why they shopped there. One woman’s response: “I don’t have to keep up with everything because the co-op has done its homework.”) Many others believe in a core tenet of the Friends and Farmers mission to strengthen the local economy, especially local farmers and food producers, by prioritizing produce, cheese, meat, bread, baked goods, jams and other goodies grown or produced in central Pennsylvania. Like all co-ops, Friends and Farmers exists to serve its members. As one of the conference keynotes pointed out, this operating structure delivers two key competitive advantages over traditional grocery stores: transparency in where their

food comes from and participation in a food system that values sustainability. “We want to feel good about our food,” the speaker remarked. “Even the CEOs of (the traditional food stores) secretly shop at the cooperatives!” And co-ops are everywhere. FCI has helped 70 new co-ops open retail groceries since 2006, and is currently working with 120 communities that are actively organizing cooperatives. Friends and Farmers is firmly plugged into this national network, benefiting from a rich supply of resources and free advice. With every step toward the ultimate goal of opening a store, you can count on some fun. You can find board members and volunteers at the North Atherton Farmers Market throughout the summer. On Tuesday, July 15, Friends and Farmers members will be at the Boalsburg Farmers Market’s “Vegetable Festable,” which will demonstrate how to use farmers market finds to inspire creative home cooking.

Colyer parade and picnic celebrates Independence Day By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

POTTER TOWNSHIP — Colyer, located in the southern end of Potter Township, is a quiet little village. But it awakens from its tranquility for one day each year — the Fourth of July. That’s when the residents of Colyer and the surrounding community get together and have their own float parade, followed by a huge community picnic at the farm of Doug and Jane Mothersbaugh. The Colyer parade originated in 1996, when several local men gathered to compare and admire each other’s antique tractors. Someone suggested they drive the tractors, adorned with American flags, around the Colyer area to show them off, and a tradition was born. The first impromptu parade supposedly had just seven spectators. Soon it grew, acquiring many more antique tractors, floats, antique cars and hundreds of American flags waving in the warm July breeze. The spectator count has increased to several hundred over the years. The parade is a lighthearted, almost giddy celebration of the great freedoms of America. The parade forms at the Mothersbaugh farm on Lake Road, near Colyer Lake, follows Bubb Road, Polecat Road, Race Track Road, Dogtown Road and Colyer Road, goes back to Bubb Road, and returns to the starting point on Lake Road. The route traces out a loop of nearly four miles

through the bucolic beauty of the Colyer area. At mid-morning on July 4, the parade committee’s head, Centre County Judge Tom Kistler, fired his antique rifle into the air to signal the start of the parade. Parade floats displayed great creativity, as well as some humor in their design and construction. Some floats this year followed a Mardi Gras theme. One carried a banner saying “Colyer Grass,” with the second letter “s” crossed out. Another bore a banner proclaiming “Colyer Gras” and featured brightly costumed riders and American flags. A new entry this year was a group of members from SCAR, the State College-based roller derby team, roller skating through the parade route. Following the parade, a huge community picnic was held on the Mothersbaugh property on Lake Road. Large canopies covered tables filled with covered dishes brought by residents, and hot dogs, pork barbecue and drinks were supplied by the parade committee. Kistler, who also heads the Save Colyer Lake organization, welcomed everyone to the picnic. “Colyer Lake has been saved,” he announced, referring to the recent appropriation of state funds to finance the major repairs to be made at the lake. He noted that draining the lake to make repairs will begin this fall, and the lake will be dry for perhaps a year while the earthen dam is

Following Kistler’s remarks, Colyer resident Bill Arnold offered an invocation, reading a letter sent by Abraham Lincoln to a mother who lost five sons in the Civil War. He noted the great sacrifices made over the years to keep our country free. The national anthem was sung by picnic

attendees, as they faced a large American flag flying high atop a hill on the Mothersbaughs’ property. About 200 picnic attendees then dug into a the feast and enjoyed a time of cheerful socializing to celebrate the Independence Day holiday in a great rural tradition.

Smith serving aboard Navy submarine Farmers market vouchers available BANGOR, Wash. — Petty Officer Eric Smith, a U.S. Navy machinist’s mate from State College, is serving aboard the USS Pennsylvania as a member of its Gold Crew. His crew recently returned home to Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor following a 140day strategic deterrent patrol. This set a new record for the longest patrol completed by an Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine. The Navy’s ballistic missile submarines,

often referred to as boomers, serve as undetectable launch platforms for intercontinental ballistic missiles. They are designed specifically for stealth, extended patrols and the precise delivery of missiles if directed by the president. The Ohio-class design allows the submarines to operate for 15 or more years between major overhauls. On average, the submarines spend 77 days at sea followed by 35 days in port for maintenance.

CENTRE HALL — The Remington Ryde Bluegrass Festival takes place today through Sunday, July 13, in Centre Hall. The festival promises good entertainment at a great location — the Grange Fairgrounds. Ryan Frankhouser leads the Remington Ryde Band with his vocals and guitar. “As an 18-year-old, I started the group and I have held the festival for eight years. This is the 12th year for Remington Ryde and the second year at the Grange Fairgrounds,” he said. In addition to Frankhouser, Remington Ryde has signed a new fiddle player, Greg Moore, and also includes members Billy Lee Cox on banjo, Rich Kratzer on mandolin and Richard Egolf on the upright bass. The group has signed with Poor Mountain Records and its album, “Harvesting the Tradition,” is being released this month. Frankhouser said there are several exceptional groups coming this year to the festival, including Rhonda Vincent and The Rage, Nothin’ Fancy, The Little Roy and Lizzy Show, The Spinney Brothers, Junior Sisk and Ramblers Choice, Joe Mullins and The Radio Ramblers, The Hillbilly Gypsies, Goldwing Express, Larry Gillis Band, Ralph Stanley II, The Bluegrass Mountaineers, Idletymes, Danny Stanley and The Gentlemen of Bluegrass, Jay Armsworthy & Eastern Tradition, Ernie Evans and Tyler Williams, and more. Rhonda Vincent is well known in bluegrass circles as the “Queen of Bluegrass,” having won 16 national awards, as well as having been nominated five times for Grammys. Her hometown, Greentop, Miss., has a new welcome sign that proclaims it “Hometown of the Queen of Bluegrass” with a picture of her on display. Her recent album, “Only Me,” features Willie Nelson on the title song.

MEMBERS OF THE band Remington Ryde are, from left, Greg Moore, Billy Lee Cox, Ryan Frankhouser, Richard Egolf and Rich Kratzer. According to Frankhouser, “You just gotta love the family atmosphere at a bluegrass festival. There is food. There are crafts. There are workshops on Friday and Saturday. Some people come on Thursday and stake out their spot. Once you’ve placed your chair, no one bothers it and you keep your seat.” A bluegrass festival is more than sitting and watching performances, although you can certainly do that. Many of the people who attend bring their own mandolins, violins, guitars, etc. One of the main differences between country and bluegrass music is that bluegrass is completely acoustic. A lot of the people who travel to bluegrass festivals use this time as their vacations, much like the Grange Fair attendees do. They load campers and RVs with musical instruments, food and their kids and join the bluegrass masses for a few days of good fellowship, fun and music. As you roam around the grounds, you can always find a jam session to join in, or find a shady spot and let the music just roll over you.

Penn State fans ages 18 and older are encouraged to submit slogans for any or all of the 12 Nittany Lion football games this season. “We are proud to once again be a part of this great tradition of having Penn State fans show their support for the Nittany Lions by creating clever, lighthearted slogans,” said Daniel K. Fitzpatrick, president and CEO of Citizens Bank and RBS Citizens for Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. “The button contest continues to engage the creativity and imagination of diehard fans and gets them excited for the upcoming football season.” Each fall, free buttons with a creative slogan about rival teams are distributed weekly at Citizens Bank branches

in central Pennsylvania. Fans also have the option of purchasing a complete set for $10 starting in October. Button sale proceeds are awarded to a local nonprofit each year. In 2013, Citizens Bank distributed nearly 200,000 buttons during the season. Fans who are interested in participating can email their entries to psubuttons@citizensbank.com. For slogan contest rules, visit a participating Citizens Bank branch location in Centre, Blair and Mifflin counties or submit a request by email to psubuttons@citizensbank. com. Winning slogans chosen by representatives of Citizens Bank will be selected based on wit, originality and brevity. In July, 12 winners are expected to be announced, with each winner receiving $25.

Many local artisans participating in People’s Choice Festival BOALSBURG — The 22nd annual People’s Choice Festival, being held today through Sunday, July 13, showcases artists and crafts people from throughout Pennsylvania. I talked to a few of the local artists who will be sharing their talents at the festival. Naomi Gallagher, of Pleasant Gap, has been involved with the show since its inception. She noted that she, Heidi Zimbler and Terry Johnson helped to organize the first show and were responsible for contacting the first vendors. This year, Gallagher will bring a selection of her cast pieces, rings and pendants in sterling silver and gold, as well as a selecConnie Cousins tion of one-of-a-kind covers a wide variety of events in rings and pendants in Centre County for silver and bronze. the Centre County Chains she has Gazette.

There will be an assortment of earrings and bracelets as well,” Gallagher said. Helen “Elli” Groninger, of Boalsburg, described her metal art offerings for 2014. “This year the metal will be crafted by myself and two of my sons, Joseph Woodward, age 20, and James Woodward, 23. This is the first time the three of us have shown together. Joseph will primarily be showing his outdoor metal origami and James will be showing lighting fixtures also made from recycled steel,” she said. “My work, as usual, will be whimsical recycled

steel sculpture and ornaments along with three of the seven books I have written and illustrated. Also, I will be showing and selling my nine-panel wall mural coloring kit, which is presently on display and sale at Webster’s Café in downtown State College.” Mock Creations is not a stranger to the People’s Choice Festival, either. Chip Mock, of State College, has been drawing caricatures for 35 years. He began his work and career at the Three Rivers Festival in Pittsburgh as an Art Institute of Pittsburgh Student in 1980. He has attended and drawn at every People’s Choice for the past 22 years. Since he started in 1980, he has drawn a whole host of smiling faces all over central Pennsylvania. Mock considers himself a pretty serious guy, but put a marker and some big paper in his hands and he will happily twist your facial features all over the page while letting you know about it. His sarcastic remarks and quirky expressions can have you twisting in your chair as the suspense builds until he presents the final product. Mock is very fast at his drawing. “I can easily draw 30-plus people per hour. I can draw a child in just around a minute, or two at the most, and an adult in two or three. I draw mostly on 14 x 17 inch and 18 x 24 inch paper, so my caricatures are big,” he said. When Chip is finished, he presents a black and white caricature of the subject’s head and shoulders to the amazed customer. He has won honors at the International Society of Caricature Artist Convention in black and white and “Fastest in the World” competitions. He draws at festivals, proms, weddings and anywhere else where people are looking for fun entertainment. He paints studio watercolor caricatures for individuals, corporations and publications. “The fun is in the drawing and the smile the subject gives when they see their caricature,” Mock said. Susan Wise, of Second Season Mittens, said she hopes people enjoy her mittens as

CARICATURE ARTIST Chip Mock, of State College, has been to every People’s Choice Festival of Pennsylvania Arts and Crafts. much as she, her husband and son enjoy making them. “The mittens are made and sewn from sweaters that have been shrunk,” she said. Wise, of State College, has been creating her mittens since 2009. They are handcrafted of wool and wool blends, but there are also some acrylics. The mittens come in unisex sizes from small to extra large and this year the kids aren’t left out. Kids sizes go from 6 to 8 months all the way to 7 or 8 years. All are lined with fleece and are machine washable and dryable. “Memory mitts can also be made from your old sweaters from a special someone to give to a loved one as a special holiday gift,” Wise added.

Dennis Bender, of Centre Hall, is new to People’s Choice. Bender has been making wooden items for 10 to 15 years now. Most of his talent has gone into pieces for weddings, graduations, new babies, birthdays and Christmas. “To date, I have only sold one chest and that was by commission. I work mostly with pine but tend to prefer cherry for a more elegant appearance when required or requested. I use single-wide boards to build my chests and put a cedar bottom in them, even the smaller versions,” Bender said. Bender has also made jewelry boxes, some from willow, for gifts. He is open to considering special orders, stains, carvings, sizes and finishes.

People’s Choice Festival ready for another big year By SAMI HULINGS shulings@centrecountygazette.com

BOALSBURG — The 22nd annual People’s Choice Festival of Pennsylvania Arts and Crafts will once again celebrate the homegrown talent and skills of Pennsylvania artists. Set around the grounds of the Pennsylvania Military Museum in Boalsburg, People’s Choice takes place today through Sunday, July 13, and features the work of more than 180 artists. The festival was initially created in 1993 after cutbacks were made to the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts. About 50 artists participated in the first People’s Choice. Since then, the festival has continuously grown. This growth has lead to the inclusion of variety of activities for all members of the family. Visitors can enjoy live musical performances and browse through the works of more than 180 artists, all while eating festival food from nearly 30 Pennsylvania food vendors. According to the festival’s website, it is estimated that more than 100,000 people visit each year. To entertain the large crowds, more than 150 performances, food vendor booths and a specialty food tent are featured at People’s Choice. This year, the specialty food tent will include 16 local businesses’ products, ranging from jams and jellies to raw milk cheese. Festival visitors may sample all foods featured in the specialty food tent before making a purchase. Five Pennsylvania wineries will also be on hand. Performances will occur throughout the weekend and will range from the Nittany Knights A Capella Barbershop Chorus to Velveeta to Black Cat Belly Dance and Friends. To create a family atmosphere, every day is kids’ day at People’s Choice. Activities for children include the Little Smilin’ Choo Choo train, a bounce house, an interactive science museum, a petting zoo, a riding arena and face painting. A youth artisan sales area allows young artists to dis-

play and sell their works of art on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Other activities specifically designed for children include the Tumblebus and BMX stunt riders on Friday and Saturday and the Nittany Greyhound Rescue on Saturday. Saturday will also be “Character Day” at People’s Choice, with local favorite sports and media mascots meeting and greeting guests. With activities for all ages, People’s Choice provides the Centre Region with a great way to experience a local summer arts festival that only features work from Pennsylvania artists. “This is probably one of the best displays of handmade goods you are going to see in Pennsylvania. It’s just a great little show packed into a little space,” co-director John Madison said in 2012. For more information about People’s Choice Festival, visit www.peopleschoice festival.com.

Arts Fest a ‘homecoming’ for State College community By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — The 48th annual Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts will begin later this week, and for thousands of people, it’s the impetus for a yearly pilgrimage back to State College. “Because we’re 48 years old it sort of has a personality of it’s own, part of that is the reunion aspect of it. People get together with old friends, or you have company, and people come back to Penn State. ... It’s sort of a homecoming,” says Rick Bryant, executive director for the event. “I think that’s what makes it special. Plus, it’s a chance to see 300 of the best artists, to hear lots of free music downtown and ... step out of your ordinary life.” Founded by the State College Chamber of Commerce and Penn State’s College of Arts and Architecture, the event, affectionately known as Arts Fest, draws roughly 100,000 visitors. This year’s festival is being held now through Sunday, July 13, in downtown State College. It features a nationally-recognized sidewalk sale and exhibition, a juried gallery exhibition, the Downtown State College Italian Street Painting Festival, educational opportunities, and music, dance and theatrical performances in a variety of outdoor and indoor venues. The sidewalk sale and exhibition will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. today through Saturday and from noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday. More than 300 artists will display their works. A panel of five jurors will award more than $17,000 in prize money starting at 9 a.m. on Saturday at the Allen Street stage. A silent auction will be held in the 100 block of South Allen Street today until 8 p.m. Proceeds go toward the festival’s operational costs. Along with art exhibits, there will be a variety of performances including The Blind Spots, a rock band from Ithaca, N.Y., which will perform at 10 p.m. on Friday at the Festival Shell Stage. Most performances are free events, however, some events require a $10 button, which can be purchased at many downtown State College businesses. The Nittany Valley Running Club’s 39th annual 10K, 5K, and 10-mile run also coincide with the festival and begin at 8:15 a.m. on Sunday. “We do have something for every taste and pocket book. ... It’s just a fun way to spend a day or two so you won’t regret it in the slightest,” says Bryant. Funding for The Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts includes grants from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, Central Pennsylvania Convention and Visitors’ Bureau and Centre County Commissioners.

Recycling efforts boosted for Arts Fest By JESSICA TULLY StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Each July, more than 100,000 visitors descend on State College for the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts. With them, they bring tons upon tons of trash. The hope is that those mounds of garbage will soon become a thing of the past. According to Amy Schirf, education coordinator of Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority, State College is ramping up its efforts to prevent waste during this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arts Fest. During the festival, there will be six locations where visitors can deposit food and organics for composting. In addition, there will be a recycling container for plastic bottles and metal cans next to every trash container. There will also be a booth full of recycling education materials, manned by a group called Fest Zero. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a team of about 15 volunteers from the community, local government and the university who have a common goal of helping the festival become a zero-waste event Fest Zero began with an idea in February. Brad Fey, a local musician, spent years collecting trash as a volunteer with his Rotary Club. He was troubled when he discovered how much trash from the Arts Fest could be recycled. The borough takes in an extra 75 tons of trash during the festival, adding up to about $5,000 in extra waste disposal costs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trash does cost taxpayers a lot of money,â&#x20AC;? Fey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People just think it goes away, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real cost to it. If we

can reduce that cost, by doing something simple, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saving money that would go to a landfill. Taxpayers are paying money to do that.â&#x20AC;? In late March, Fey contacted the Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority and Arts Festival planners. Together, they set a goal of making it a zero-waste event by the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50th anniversary in 2016. The borough will audit its trash during the festival to gauge Fest Zeroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impact. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arts Fest is only the beginning for the Fest Zero crew. Those volunteers want get to a point where all trash cans are replaced by compost cans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are going from over 50 trash container locations to 25 locations and we are including recycling containers at each of these 25 locations,â&#x20AC;? said Edward Hicks, Public Works foreman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the past there were only about six to eight recycling locations.â&#x20AC;? For now, the Fest Zero crew is focused on planning and making incremental changes. Fey talked to local businesses, targeting ones on Allen Street, over the last few months about distributing compostable materials during the week of the festival. Fey says the response from owners was positive and his efforts on this front will increase next year. Surveys were sent out to Arts Fest vendors to ask what they will bring so the Fest Zero crew can prepare. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once we know which types of products the vendors are currently using we can better understand the waste stream,â&#x20AC;? Hicks said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then we can see what types of recyclable/compostable products are available

BananaStock

CROWDS AT this years Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts will be asked to recycle more than ever before. and see if the vendors will use these products in the future.â&#x20AC;? Down the line, Fey hopes vendors are required to bring only compostable materials. Hicks says the goal he keeps in mind is to someday offer only recycling recep-

tacles and compost receptacles. Besides his desire to save the borough money, Fey hopes his interest in recycling will make for a cleaner region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for the Earth, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for the environment,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Arts Fest offers new photography exhibit By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; While many of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arts Fest attractions will be familiar, there also is one new aspect for folks to enjoy. New to the event is a three-part photography exhibition, including a show featuring images captured by photographers in Centre County. The festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeing America: Centre County in Photographsâ&#x20AC;? exhibit can be found at the Art Alliance, 824 Pike St., Lemont. The display features 48 photos, which photographer and juror Barbara Houghton narrowed down from 141 entries. Drew Frank, a State College photographer, has four photos featured in the exhibit.

ally photographs weddings and portraits, says he stepped outside of his element for the contest by using a different camera and capturing landscape images. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be anything people had already known me for, so I picked up a new camera and forced myself to try something new,â&#x20AC;? Frank said. Frankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photo of a pile of mailboxes at the Penn State mobile home park received an award of merit. Still, something even better happened as a result of the show â&#x20AC;&#x201C; his work is hanging next to his mentor and high school photography teacher, Robert Baumbach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That act means more to me than winning any award,â&#x20AC;? Frank says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was one of my mentors growing up. To not only enter into a competition with him, but for both of us to get pictures accepted ... it was very cool.â&#x20AC;? Marie Doll, executive director of the Art Alliance, says Centre County has wonderful artists in all mediums, including photography. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an excellent exhibit of high quality work by local artists,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For any kind of artist, including photographers, this area offers such rich experiences.â&#x20AC;? The Art Alliance exhibit is part of a larger, three-part photography event during the arts festival. Another component is â&#x20AC;&#x153;First Person: Seeing America,â&#x20AC;? where Ensemble Galilei will perform at 2:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Saturday, July 12, at the State Theatre on College Avenue. The musical group will perform while images from the Metropolitan Museum of Art are projected onto the screen and Adrian LaTourelle and Kimiko Gelman narrate. Most performances are free events, however, this event requires a $10 button, which can be purchased at many

downtown State College businesses. The third photography component is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeing America: Photographs from the Permanent Collection,â&#x20AC;? at the Penn State Palmer Museum of Art. The exhibition, organized and curated by Joyce Robinson, examines the people and places of America as captured by notable photographers of the 19th and 20th centuries. The 48th annual Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts is being held through Sunday, July 13, in downtown State College.

Bellefonte hammers Clearfield, 18-0, to capture District 5 Little League title By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — On Sunday, with a 7-2 victory over Clearfield, the Bellefonte Little League 11-12 All Stars emerged from their arduous run through the loser’s bracket of the District 5 Tournament and forced a one-and-done showdown for the district championship. On Monday they finished the job. In style. Bellefonte scored in every inning, crashed 21 hits — including five home runs — and stomped its way to an 18-0, four-inning dismantling of Clearfield and the 2014 District 5 Championship. Colton Burd had four hits, two home runs and drove in four runs for Bellefonte, while Ben McCartney had four hits and a home run, and Ben McCafee added three hits, a homer and another four RBIs. In all, the first four hitters for Bellefonte went 12 for 19 with five homers, 13 runs, and 12 RBIs. On the mound at the same time, McCartney worked on a near no-hitter. The right-hander did not give up a hit until the second-to-last batter he faced, Cade Walker, who stroked a clean single to left-center field. That was all for Clearfield for the day. Bellefonte now advances to the Section 4 Tournament, which begins on Saturday, July 12, at Big Valley in Belleville. “We hit the ball, that simple,” Bellefonte coach Eric Funk said. “We found our confidence,

which we’ve been missing a little bit. We figured out how to find it and we didn’t let go of it. “They (Bellefonte players) hit the ball real, real well. The guys throughout the order did what we needed them to do.” Bellefonte shortstop and leadoff hitter C.J. Funk was the hitting catalyst two days in a row. On Sunday in Clearfield, with Bellefonte losing 2-0 in the elimination game with just five outs left, Funk blasted a three-run homer that opened the gates to a 7-2 Bellefonte win. On Monday, it took Funk just four pitches to connect. In his first at bat, Funk took Clearfield pitcher Allen Myers’ fourth delivery far over the center-field wall and into the parked cars for a 1-0 Bellefonte lead. From there, Bellefonte never let up. It scored five in the first inning, three each in the second and third, and then seven more in the fourth to wrap up the title. “Out here today, it (C.J.’s homer) set the tone,” Eric Funk said. “It sets the tone in Little League. The way the game rolls, a lot of times, is between the ears and if you can get that little bet of a head start, it’s contagious.” Contagious might not be a strong enough word. Bellefonte batted around in every inning but the second, and nine batters in all hit safely and another nine players scored at least one run. “The whole order was just awesome,” catcher Burd said. “We all came out and worked together and hit hard.” Burd was one player who hit

BELLEFONTE SHORTSTOP C.J. Funk celebrates with his teammates following an 18-0 win over Clearfield in the District 5 Little League Championship on Monday night. especially hard. His two home runs — one in the third and then another in the fourth — were tape-measure shots. The second one scattered patrons and caromed off the concession stand beyond the left-field wall. “I haven’t hit one all districts,” Burd said. “I was just happy to get those two home runs.” McCartney finished the game with an impressive line: no runs,

one hit, one walk and four strikeouts. He constantly had the Clearfield hitters off balance with a combination of fast balls and breaking stuff. “My curve ball makes my fast ball more effective,” he said. “I don’t have a 70-mile-per-hour fastball, but when I throw my curve, my fastball is a lot trickier.” Bellefonte now takes on a

team-to-be-determined in the sectionals beginning on Saturday. For Burd and his teammates, the approach will be business as usual. “It feels amazing to finally get to sectionals,” he said, “to go out there and see what it’s like and hopefully get to states. We are going to go to practice, work hard, and bring attitude and hustle.”

On the Attack

Total team effort fuels Spikes’ surge By JOHN PATISHNOCK sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Anyone who’s following the State College Spikes this season knows all about Rowan Wick’s unreal start. The Canadian native ended the weekend having already amassed 11 home runs and 28 RBIs; both stats led the New York-Penn League, while the homers are already a Spikes record for an entire season. But a team doesn’t win as many games as the Spikes have — they finished the weekend on a five-game winning streak with a 16-7 overall record and in first place in their division — without a lot of guys contributing. Case in point: The Spikes 11-9 victory over Jamestown on Friday at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park, which started a threegame sweep. Four different guys drove in runs, seven different players scored, and eight players reached base via a hit, walk or hit batter for State College. Additionally, Alex de Leon went 4-for-5 and Jake Stone smashed a grand slam during a six-run seventh inning that allowed the Spikes to erase a 5-4 deficit. An earlier miscue allowed Jamestown, which had the tying run on third base in the eighth inning with State College leading 10-9, to notch three runs in the second inning, Wick walked and scored in the seventh, but finished the game without a hit; an unusual performance for him, but not something that negatively impacted the Spikes. Manager Oliver Marmol said he can move players around the State College lineup easily, and added that guys have been taking what they’ve been learning in the batting cage — namely, pitch recognition and laying off pitches outside of the zone —

onto the field. The payoff is evident, as State College has been near first place in the division all season long. “I have a ton of confidence,” Marmol said, referencing his daily lineup. “There are days when my No. 8 hitter could easily be in the No. 2 hole, my No. 9 hitter could be my leadoff guy, and when you have a lineup that you can turn over like that, it’s a good feeling as a manager to go ahead and throw those guys out there and see what they can do.” For the Spikes on Friday, Andrew Sohn led off the third inning with a triple to deep right field; he scored a batter later, when Johan Acevedo grounded out. Both Sohn and Stone did damage in the sixth inning. Stone smacked an RBI single back up the middle, and Sohn delivered a two-run single when his drive deflected off the third baseman’s glove; the bases were loaded each time. In the seventh, the first six batters for State College scored: Danny Seferina and Danny Diekroeger singled, Nick Thompson doubled, de Leon singled, Wick walked and then Stone punctuated the spurt with his bases-loaded blast. Stone, who also homered last Thursday, drove a 1-0 offering deep into right-center field, easily clearing the outfield wall. He entered Friday’s game batting at less than .200, but featured an on-base percentage near .400. Marmol said he wants to see Stone more confident at the plate, and said the recent surge is definitely something that can help. Stone said he waited for a ball up in the zone and drove it. Marmol echoed this point, saying the Spikes have succeeded at waiting for their pitches at the plate. Stone talked about the long grind that can envelop baseball, even in a short-sea-

STATE COLLEGE’S Leobaldo Pina slides safely into third during a recent game with Batavia at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. The Spikes have been on a hot streak as of late. son league, so he’s not sure if the grand slam is something that will automatically signify a launching point. But he’s hopeful. “It’s a good start, for sure,” Stone said. “Hopefully, that carries over and I can continue doing that.” State College finished off the weekend series with two more victories, winning 3-2 on Saturday and 5-2 on Sunday. The team is finding different ways to win, too. After amassing 15 hits in the 11-9 victory, the Spikes scored the winning run in the eighth inning Saturday without the benefit of a hit, as Wick scored on a wild pitch after drawing a walk and moving up

on an error. State College can overpower an opponent but doesn’t have to do that to win. It’s a luxury to fall behind early and not feel overwhelmed, because the players know they’re capable of piling up runs in a hurry. Can the Spikes keep up their torrid pace? Maybe, maybe not, but it’s been nice for the players to watch. “It’s just fun to see all the hard work paying off,” said Stone, who drove in seven runs during the weekend series. “Everybody is really locked in right now, and we’re going to keep on rolling with this approach.”

Australian punter ready to call Happy Valley home By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

PENN STATE’S classic uniforms were ranked No. 1 in a recent poll by NFL.com.

PSU uniforms rated best by NFL.com By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Tradition. In a world that loves flashy and expensive, sometimes the best things in life are also the most basic. Many Penn State football fans have believed for a very long time that plain and simple uniforms are the best. And that feeling is again being validated. NFL.com continued an offseason series with a look at some of the most iconic uniforms in college football.

Topping the list? Penn State. “There’s just something great about seeing seeing the clean lines and classic look of the Nittany Lions once the team will take the field with a white-out at Beaver Stadium,” Bryan Fischer wrote on NFL.com. New head coach James Franklin hasn’t commented on the look of the Nittany Lions under his watch, although he has often alluded to his respect for history. When asked by the Big Ten Network if he had plans to change the classic look, Franklin said, “Are you

trying to get me killed? Is that what you’re trying to do? Yeah, that ain’t happening around here. That’s not going to happen around here.” There’s no decision yet on whether Penn State uniforms will feature the players’ names. Former head coach Bill O’Brien added names, sparking a small controversy. Franklin could opt to keep the monikers, or go back to the old no-name style. Oregon, Washington, Notre Dame and Arkansas rounded out the 2014 five best uniforms in college football, according to the NFL.com list.

UNIVERSITY PARK — With Penn State’s newly released team roster, it may have been easy to skim over the 120 names and see nothing unexpected. The freshman and walk-on players were included, a few weights had changed, but other than that there was nothing that stood out at first. But, closer inspection shows at least one interesting story in the making — walk-on Daniel Pasquariello, a punter who hails from a kicking camp in Melbourne, Australia. Pasquariello’s tape found its way to Penn State’s staff through a Prokick program that has seen plenty of successful punters make a name for themselves in college and professional football. Memphis’ Tom Hornsey and Arkansas’ Sam Irwin-Hill both finished in the top 13 in the Football Bowl Subdivision in punting averages in 2013 and have ties to the camp. Within the Big Ten, Ohio State’s Cameron Johnston led the conference in punting average and also can credit Prokick for his success. Every player has a certain amount of adjusting to do when making the move from high school to college, let alone making a move across the world, but Pasquariello should be in good shape to compete for the starting job. With the graduation of Alex Butterworth, the punting job has largely been given to fellow walk-on Chris Gulla who was solid, but not overwhelming, in the Blue-White Game. If nothing else, the open competition between Gulla, Pasquariello and two additional walk-ons should benefit the unit. It will also give special teams coach Charles Huff a few more options which is never a bad thing.

PSU fans will get a closer look at Wimbush By BEN JONES

Carter, James added to award watch list By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — There is little doubt that Penn State’s tight ends have been some of the most effective in the nation and that might just lead to some postseason honors as juniors Kyle Carter and Jesse James have been added to the John Mackey Award watch list. The award is given to the nation’s top collegiate tight end each year. Penn State is one of the three schools, along with Oklahoma and Oregon, with multiple selections to the 40-player preseason watch list. The Mackey Award honors outstanding athletic prowess on the field, along with positive sportsmanship-like behavior, good academic standing and exceptional leadership abilities. The award recipient is determined by confidential balloting of the John Mackey Award Selection Committee, which is composed of members of the media and former NFL players. The 2014 John Mackey Award midseason watch list will be announced on Monday, Oct. 13, semifinalists will be named on Monday, Nov. 17 and finalists chosen on Monday, Nov. 24. The award will be presented live on ESPNU on Thursday, Dec. 11 during The Home Depot College Football Awards Red Carpet Show.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State fans will get another chance to enjoy a top quarterback prospect in the national spotlight as future Nittany Lion Brandon Wimbush takes part in the Elite 11 quarterback camp in Oregon this week. The Elite 11 camp features 19 quarterback prospects from across the nation and culminates with a television program that will air at a later date. Penn State fans will remember current quarterback Christian Hackenberg taking part in the show, prior to his arrival on campus, where he impressed onlookers and contestants alike. Wimbush, a 6-foot-2, 215-pound, four-star signal caller from New Jersey, committed to James Franklin in early May. Those in attendance have been impressed by Wimbush in the early going. And this week’s continued drills should give analysts a better idea of what Wimbush is made of and could very well see his already high stock rise even more. Wimbush recently attended Penn State’s advanced skills camp where he looked the part as the future signal caller of the Nittany Lions. Despite recently receiving a scholarship offer from Stanford, Wimbush has been steadfast in his commitment to Penn State. Assuming he continues to improve like he has all summer, Franklin and his staff will be mighty glad he stayed committed when it’s all said and done. We Accept Food Stamps, EBT, or SNAP Benefits

July 10-16, 2014

Phillies already looking toward next year As the losses pile up, Philadelphia Phillies’ general manager Ruben Amaro is coming under increasing pressure from Philly fans to put up the “For Sale” sign. In fact, he already has. Speaking on Monday before the game in Milwaukee, Amaro said that the Phillies “already started” serious trade talks with other teams. Anyone who has seen the team lately — including Pirate fans who watched last weekend’s sweep — can understand why. The Phillies are at the bottom levels of the major leagues in alPat Rothdeutsch covers sports for most every category: The Centre County wins, hits, batting avGazette. Email him erage, runs scored, you at sports@ name it. centrecounty Especially runs gazette.com scored. The Phils scored a total of six runs over the weekend against the Pirates. And that’s how it has been all season. Their batting average with runners in scoring position is .226 (fourth worst in MLB), and at least against the Pirates, they had trouble just getting runners in scoring position. Which brings us to the sale. Obviously, to get something in return you have to give something up. The Phillies have players that other teams covet, but the price would have to be right, and it would be difficult, emotionally at least, to see any of these players leave Philadelphia. But it could happen: ■ Chase Utley and Cole Hamels — It has been said that Amaro will not trade either of these players. Utley will be the starting second baseman in the All-Star Game and has made an amazing comeback from serious knee problems two years ago. He’s hitting .289 with seven homers and 42 RBIs. Hamels is just 3-5 this season, but he

PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

has a 2.87 ERA. He has — as has most of the staff — suffered from a lack of run support this season, but there is no doubt that he has pitched well. Both Hamels and Utley are from California, and how much they would like to go home to play is up for debate. For now, the line is that they aren’t going anywhere. ■ Jimmy Rollins — Rollins is the alltime Phillies hit leader. This season, he’s hitting .243 with eight homers and 32 RBIs. But he’s also stolen 16 bases and is still a premier defensive shortstop. Throw in his age, experience and no-trade clause and it would have to be the right deal to the right place. Not impossible. ■ Ryan Howard — It’s painful just writing that name in this context, but there it is. Howard is hitting just .231 with 14 homers and 52 RBIs. He’s been tinkering with his swing and has had some recent success, but his age and injury problems makes him seem a far cry from the guy who hit 58 homers and drove in 140 runs just a few short years ago. Becoming a DH extended — and energized — Jim Thome’s career, and it may do the same for Howard. ■ Cliff Lee — There are Cliff Lee trade talks every season, but this year it is a bit more complicated. Lee was 4-4 with a sub 3.00 ERA when he went on the injured list. It has been a slow comeback, and he will not be available until after the All-Star break so teams will be especially wary. It’s likely that he will have to prove that he is healthy by pitching the rest of this season in Philadelphia. ■ Marlon Byrd and A.J. Burnett — Both of these guys were quality acquisitions by the Phillies this off season, and both are playing very well. But both are experienced major leaguers with one-year contracts and could be valuable to the right team. The Phillies have a bunch of young players that will no doubt now be given a bigger role and a chance to prove themselves. That list includes Ben Revere, Darin Ruf, Freddy Galvis, Cody Asche, Grady Sizemore (not so young) and Mikael Franco. And there’s a nasty, 23-year-old rookie

in the bull pen named Ken Giles who has a 0.77 ERA and 17 strikeouts in 11 innings of relief so far (and a 95 MPH + fastball). It would be surprise to see any of those players go anywhere. Before Amaro does anything, however, he should check out what a team across the street is doing — the 76ers. That team has been bad, and they were especially bad last season. But they have a plan. They drafted an injured 6-foot-11 Nerlens Noel in 2013 and, to be safe, didn’t play him at all in ’13-’14. They had two picks in the first round of this year’s draft and drafted Joel Embiid — probably the consensus best player in the draft — but who is also injured and might not play until well into next season.

They also drafted Dario Saric who is from Croatia and who will play in Europe next year to get seasoning. He’s only 19, and has perhaps the biggest possible upside of any player taken. So what’s the message? Patience. The Phillies had, by all accounts, a very solid draft this year, and most of the successful teams in MLB build from within. If Amaro is patient and doesn’t try to fix everything in one year, makes smart deals that get good returns in young players, and keeps players who are producing, the Phillies could turn this around relatively quickly. Not next year, maybe, but soon thereafter. After all, for Phillies’ fans, there’s always a next year, and it’s always going to be better.

PSU hockey schedule released By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State hockey is one step closer to its second full season of Division I and Big Ten play with the release of the 2014-15 non-conference schedule. “After our first season in the Big Ten, the coaching staff and team are excited to see our continued growth as we enter the next chapter of Penn State Hockey,” said head coach of the mens’ squad, Guy Gadowsky. “The 2014-15 campaign will bring forth its own set of unique challenges, while the opportunity to continue our relationships in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and experience Madison Square Garden for the first time will give our alumni and fans the opportunity to witness Nittany Lion hockey on some of the biggest stages.” Penn State will open the season at

Spikes hosting James Franklin bobblehead night By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The State College Spikes are set for James Franklin bobblehead night next month and, judging by the photo of the coach in plastic form, plenty of people will be lining up to be one of the first 1,000 fans to enter the stadium. Set for Thursday, Aug. 28, the Franklin bobblehead will join former head coach Bill O’Brien on a growing list of Penn State coaches to have had their likenesses recreated. The Franklin model even comes with an already popular slogan for fans across the state. “The Coach Franklin bobblehead is based on the popular pic of him taken on the day he was announced as head football coach,” the Spikes tweeted. “In the bobblehead, Coach Franklin is holding a football with the Spikes logo in front of stadium gates that say ‘Dominate the State.’”

arTS & enTerTainMenT ‘Window on the West’ opens at the Palmer Museum UNIVERSITY PARK — The Palmer Museum of Art will present a new exhibition, “Window on the West: Views from the American Frontier,” through Sunday, Aug. 31. “Window on the West,” a collection of Arthur J. Phelan, is an extraordinary examination of Western American art. It reflects the humble beginnings of America and the untamed land of its earlier inhabitants. The exhibition includes more than 60 works from artists who all share the rare characteristic of being one of the first to set eyes on the vast, untouched land of western America. Loosely divided into three themes, the exhibition explores the ways in which America’s ideas of national identity became intertwined with, and expressed through, our visual conception of the western frontier. ■ “Natural Beauty, Natural Wonder” consists of landscapes, sometimes painted to lure potential settlers, with depictions of the wide open spaces, mountainous skylines and geological formations foreign to the native scenery of the East Coast. ■ “Western Settlement and Development” focuses on a century’s sequence of settlements built by the diverse populations inhabiting the West. This theme also highlights habitations of Native American tribes, military buildings protecting early Spanish colonists and forts and towns established later by Anglo-American settlers. ■ “Images and Icons” documents the way in which western settlement transformed the lives of native populations and gave rise to the occupations and personalities that would endure in western iconography. According to curator Joyce Robinson, the collection features works by many well-known artists — John James Audubon, Albert Bierstadt, Karl Bodmer, Frederic Remington and Carl Wimar — as well as works by lesser-known men and women who recorded their observations of the West.

Exhibition-related events include a workshop for children, “Western Places and Spaces,” from 10:15 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 26 and a workshop for adults, “Luminous Landscape: Basics of Color Palette Control and Composition,” from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 9. During the children’s workshop, which is recommended for children ages 6 to 10, students will view paintings, watercolors and drawings of the American West and then discuss their understandings of places west of the Mississippi River. Art educator Sue Uhlig will lead an investigation into the concept of place by helping students map locations and write a poem or short narrative based on works of art. In the studio, workshop participants will create a mixed-media landscape using watercolor and collage methods to illustrate their own wondrous place. A parent or adult learning partner is encouraged to accompany young attendees; participants should wear appropriate clothing for working with materials. In the adult workshop, art educator MinSoo Kim-Bossard will guide participants through “Window on the West” and emphasize viewing and analyzing landscapes. The studio component will provide an opportunity to learn beginner landscape composition principles and the basics of color palette control using acrylic paints. Workshops are free, but participants must register by contacting the curator of education at (814) 863-9188 or dck10@psu. edu. Space is limited; early registration is encouraged. Arthur J. Phelan’s visits to the West in the 1950s introduced the Maryland native to landscapes he had only seen in books. A longtime student of American history, with bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Yale University, Phelan turned his attention to the West while serving as a military historian at March Air Force Base. In 1963, he made his first purchase of western American art.

RICHARD LORENZ’S work, “Following a Trail,” was painted in 1900. It is part of the “Window on the West” collection that will be on display until Aug. 31.

Center for the Performing Arts receives Mazowsze cancels show grant to continue Classical Music Project UNIVERSITY PARK — The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has awarded the Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State a $400,000 grant to support the continuation of the Classical Music Project through June 2017. The goals of the Classical Music Project, which is entering its fourth season, are to raise the profile of Center for the Performing Arts classical music presentations and to engage Penn State students, faculty and the community with classical music programs. The aim is to provide oppor-

tunities for students to gain an understanding and appreciation of classical music that will last throughout their lives. “We are extremely grateful to The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for their continuing support,” said George Trudeau, director of the Center for the Performing Arts. “We look forward to engaging students and the community with the multidimensional Classical Music Project artists and programs we’ve envisioned for the coming three years.”

The Center for the Performing Arts, along with its Penn State partners, will organize a multifaceted program with the following key elements: guest ensembles, the student ambassador program, composer residencies, student life, Penn State Altoona partnership and curricular relationships. Tickets are on sale for Center for the Performing Arts 2014-15 music, theater and dance presentations at www.cpa.psu.edu or by phone at (814) 863-0255.

Rare video footage shows PSU in the 1950s UNIVERSITY PARK — “Introducing Penn State – 1950s,” originally a 16-millimeter film used to promote Penn State, has recently been digitized by Penn State University Archives, in The Eberly Family Special Collections Library, University Libraries, and is available for viewing on YouTube. The film documents the expanding mission of Penn State as a university, when after World War II the college became a university. “Not afraid to take the lead,” Penn State took agriculture into the field

and out to the farmers with continuing education; explored the role of the new medium of television in higher education; and created the Commonwealth Campus system to accommodate students who chose to obtain their education locally. PSU also continued to be a leader in scientific research, teacher training and engineering expertise; and pioneered progress in all aspects of higher education, including the classroom, dormitories and the libraries.

A visit back into time with this film gives the viewer a real sense of what it was like to be at Penn State in the 1950s — a treat for those who remember those years and for the curious who wonder what the university was like more than 60 years ago.

UNIVERSITY PARK —The Magnificent Mazowsze has canceled the rest of its 2014 tour, including its scheduled appearance Tuesday, Dec. 2, at Penn State’s Eisenhower Auditorium.

Ticket holders for the Mazowsze performance do not need to return their tickets. They will be contacted by the Arts Ticket Center concerning the cancellation and will be refunded via check or credit card, depending on how the tickets were purchased. “Though cancellations are fortunately rare, they do occasionally happen,” said George Trudeau, director of the Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State.

THERE WAS plenty of detail in the poster for Kurosawa’s last great Samurai film, “Kagemusha” or “The Shadow Warrior.”

Exhibition highlights Japanese films UNIVERSITY PARK — “Sumi and Samurai: The Films of Hayao Miyazaki and Akira Kurosawa,” an exhibition by Glenn Masuchika, is on display through Tuesday, Sept. 2, in the Sidewater Commons, 102 Pattee Library, on the University Park campus of Penn State. Sumi is the black ink used by Japanese artists in calligraphy and cartooning, and the samurai are the famed warrior class of Japan. Information literacy librarian Glenn Masuchika notes, “Both are essential elements of the film history of Japan.” The exhibition is a celebration of two masters of Japanese cinema: Hayao Miyazaki, creator of animated movies such as “My Neighbor Totoro” and “Spirited Away,” and Akira Kurosawa, director of samurai classics such as “Seven Samurai” and “Rashomon.” Miyazaki has officially retired, bringing an end to his illustrious career as a beloved animator and director. Kurosawa died in 1998. Yet the magic created by each man lives on in their works, whether as images of a gigantic, supernatural, part-badger, part-rabbit creature that protects children from the hardships of human existence or as seven samurai battling dozens of bandits in the freezing rain to protect a poor peasant village.

Penn State’s diverse and extensive movie collection in the university libraries is a treasure to both film scholars and lovers of the art. The collection has the “greatest hits” of top directors but also lesser-known and obscure films that deserve notice, as demonstrated by this exhibit. Films in this exhibit, as well as many others, can be borrowed through The CAT, the online catalog. At University Park, the films are shelved for browsing as well. Due to building repairs, they are temporarily located in 203W Pattee Library through Thursday, Aug. 21, and then they will be moved back to the permanent location in the Music and Media Center, 211W Pattee Library. Viewers are urged to explore the libraries’ film collection to discover or rediscover the life’s work of these two masters of the art but also to seek films by other artists, writers and directors that will bring joy and excitement into their lives. For more information, or if you anticipate needing accessibility accommodations or have questions about the physical access provided, contact Jenna Gill, exhibits coordinator, at jmk441@psu.edu or (814) 865-9406.

Time is of the essence for new banking system By STEPHANIE KOONS Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — Time banking — a system that lets people swap time and skill instead of money — has been gaining popularity in recent years among people who want to build supportive networks and strong, self-sustaining communities. At the Center for Human-Computer Interaction at Penn State’s College of Information Sciences and Technology, researchers are trying to build on this momentum by refining the time-banking model and expanding the time-banking network in the community of State College. “We have this concept called a ‘kindness currency,’” said Patrick Shih, a research associate at the Center for HCI. The center, directed by Jack Carroll, distinguished professor of IST, is an interdisciplinary organizational unit for humancomputer interaction research, instruction and outreach within Penn State and beyond. The center seeks to leverage and integrate diverse HCI activities throughout the university to facilitate interdisciplinary faculty interaction relating to HCI issues, problems and opportunities. The Center for HCI, according to its website, “uses existing partnerships with community organizations, foundations, and commercial organizations to help facilitate change in society with respect to the potential utilization of information technology.” As part of its outreach mission, the center has recently been in talks with an upstart nonprofit organization. The Happy Valley TimeBank was started by Penn State students in 2012 with three main goals: strengthen the fabric of the State College community, serve people and give them a means to serve and establish new relationships and meet real needs of community members. Time banking originated in the early 1980s with anti-poverty activist Edgar Cahn, as described in his book “No More Throw Away People.” Cahn developed “time dollars” as a new currency to provide a solution to cuts in government spending on social welfare. Under a time-bank-

ing system, each participant can provide community service, doing whatever he or she can do (e.g., yard work, guitar lessons, home improvements) for other members. For their services, they receive time credits that can be exchanged for other services. A community-brokering entity — a time bank — keeps track of time credits earned and redeemed. According to Wikipedia, 26 countries currently have active time banks. In addition, there are 250 time banks active in the United Kingdom and more than 276 time banks in the U.S. According to Shih, the time-banking model took off around 2006 in the middle of a global economic recession. “People are looking for alternative ways of doing things at a lower price,” Shih said. “It’s a paradigm shift in our workforce.” In fall 2012, Carroll, whose research includes methods and theory in humancomputer interaction, community informatics and social impacts of computing, received an award of $997,553 from the NSF to support the project, “Socio-technical Issues in Mobile Time Banking.” The project incorporates mobile computing and Web 2.0 services to carry out a design research investigation of mobile time banking. “Towards Community-Centered Support for Peer-to-Peer Service Exchange: Rethinking the Timebanking Metaphor,” which presents some of the project’s findings, won the honorable mention paper award at the 2014 ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, which was held April 26 to May 1 in Toronto. In addition to Carroll and Shih, the paper was co-authored by Victoria Bellotti of the Palo Alto Research Center in Palo Alto, Calif.; Sara Cambridge of the University of California Berkley School of Information; Lisa Handalian of the California College of the Arts in San Francisco; and Kyungsik Han, a doctoral candidate at the College of IST, Penn State. At the start of the project, Carroll said, the Center for HCI partnered with TimeBanks USA, a nonprofit organization that formed in 1995 to promote time banking. The center recently switched to another organization, hOurworld, which offers a

mobile timebanking platform. Since partnering with hOurworld, the center has implemented iOS and Android apps for its time banking system. Since the alignment with the Center for HCI, Shih said, the hOurworld system has expanded from 10,000 to 20,000 members in nine months. The proposed partnership between the Center for HCI and the Happy Valley TimeBank, Carroll said, is contingent upon the latter agreeing to adopt the hOurworld platform. “We would get direct partners in the community,” Carroll said. In the paper that was presented at the CHI Conference, Carroll, Shih and their co-authors discuss the problems with the banking metaphor that their study exposed, as well as how those problems can be tackled with user experience design for systems supporting time banking. “Our design ideas emphasize the personal and social benefits of participation, and avoid such unappealing concepts as debt and neediness that the time banking metaphor falls afoul of,” the researchers wrote. A typical time bank hosts a basic website, usually implemented on one of a few special purpose time banking or alternative currency exchange software platforms. Websites typically display lists of service offers and requests from time bank members (e.g., electrical work, plumbing, babysitting). In contrast to bartering, where goods and services are mutually exchanged without use of a currency, time banks employ a “pay-it-forward” model. For an hour of service such as dog walking or house painting, one time dollar is debited from the recipient and awarded to the provider. The provider then uses the dollar to pay for service from another, and the recipient can provide a service to anyone else to earn back the debit. “It’s more like a mutual recognition of value,” Carroll said. One problem that the researchers discovered with the pay-it-forward system, he said, is that users sometimes “hoard” services without making their own contributions to the time bank.

“This does not really support the concept of an exchange system,” Carroll said. “Should there be a different way of thinking about this institution than as a bank?” Between November 2012 and March 2013, the researchers conducted 50 semistructured interviews with time bank coordinators, users and other community members to obtain information about the experience of time banking. They also tried out time-banking systems used by various time-bank communities. One of the problems with time banking that the researchers discovered was that some people prefer not to ask for help, which may stem in part from a natural human aversion toward receiving favors. Elderly people in particular, Shih said, may have issues regarding their ability to “pay back” services. “The problem with the time bank metaphor in this regard is that, in a conventional banking system, people have no reserve about ‘buying’ services,” the researchers wrote. “So the metaphor can be seen as failing if people feel uncomfortable about asking for help, as if they are still obligated somehow, in spite of ‘paying’ with their hours.” “Most people are not comfortable going into ‘debt’ in a time bank system,” Shih said. Moving forward, Shih said, the researchers will apply what they have learned about the time-banking system to “propose alternative types of technology platforms that could better facilitate its mission.” They are currently studying other types of peer-to-peer systems, particularly commercial ones that have more financial resources than nonprofits, to discover the most effective design tactics for encouraging user participation. Their vision is to add “smart” and context-aware capabilities to enable the system to provide recommendations based on factors such as member location, schedule and current activity. “Ultimately, we want to evolve this into a basis for a new way for a community to function more efficiently, sustainably and harmoniously,” the researchers wrote.

Chemical engineers receive National Science Foundation grant By STEFANIE TOMLINSON Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — A team of chemical engineers at Penn State has received a three-year, $400,000 National Science Foundation grant to help prevent biofouling of reverse osmosis membranes. “The objective of this proposal is to develop beneficial biofilm-enhanced RO membranes,” said Manish Kumar, assistant professor of chemical engineering and the grant’s principal investigator. Reverse osmosis is a critical membrane technology for developing new water sources and often serves as the final barrier for removal of salts and other contaminants during water treatment. But RO membranes are susceptible to biological growth and biofouling, which occurs when thick biofilms form, causing problems with the treatment process. This increases energy consumption and contaminant passage, reducing RO’s effectiveness and sustainability. To solve this problem, the research team, which includes co-principal investigators Tom Wood, Endowed Biotechnology Chair Professor of Chemical Engineering, and Tammy Wood, postdoctoral researcher in chemical

engineering, is seeking to employ metabolic engineering to reduce biofilm build up. “Our lab found a specific gene that can dispense biofilm. We want to introduce good microorganisms (biofilms) to get rid of the bad microorganisms,” Tammy Wood explained. “The challenge is that we also have to control the size of the biofilm formed by the good microorganisms so they don’t get too thick. Otherwise, the good biofilms will also foul the treatment system.” She said the good biofilms are designed to send a signal to themselves that mediate their growth. Kumar added that biofilms cannot be prevented, so the only option is to pit the good biofilms versus the bad. “Even if we have the strongest antibiotics available, some bacteria continue to replicate. Every 20 minutes they have a chance to alter their genetic makeup. If we kill 99 percent of bacteria, it’s the 1 percent that evolves,” he said. Wood said they can measure how well their good biofilms are working by a color test. “The good bacteria are red, so we can check under a microscope and see how they compare with the bad strains,” she said. Kumar noted that if the research is successful, it would mean that RO membranes wouldn’t need as much main-

Apartments to receive state rehab money LANCASTER — The Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency recently approved $20.4 million in federal tax credits and $8.5 million in funding for the construction and rehabilitation of affordable multifamily housing developments located in suburban and rural areas of Pennsylvania. “These low-income housing tax credits are the best investment tool available to us to support the construction of affordable rental housing across Pennsylvania,” said PHFA executive director and CEO Brian A. Hudson Sr. The tax credits will directly affect

Governor’s Gate Apartments, located at 405 Governor’s Park Road in Bellefonte, which is owned and managed by the Housing Development Corporation MidAtlantic. The organization was specifically awarded $475,568 in annual tax credit funding and $750,000 in PennHOMES funding for the rehabilitation of the 66-unit complex. Built in 1979, the complex includes one- and two-bedroom affordable rental units and is in need of significant exterior, interior and system upgrades. Additionally, HDC will convert four existing apartments to

be fully ADA accessible and will add a new 2,027-square-foot community room. The rehabilitation effort will include multiple renewable energy systems and technologies including solar photovoltaic renewable electricity, water-saving devices, energyefficient appliances and lighting, and occupancy sensors to further offset additional utility costs in common area spaces. The total cost of the project is $7.7 million. Rehabilitation improvements are expected to begin by spring 2015.

tenance or require as much energy. He predicted that this grant will potentially have a broad range of societal impacts. “If we can control biofilms on RO membranes, then a large majority of disinfectant and chemical usage will be eliminated and the overall power consumption of this critical water treatment technology will be minimized,” Kumar said. The good biofilms created may also be used for more diverse engineering applications, such as reducing corrosion, forming hydrogen for fuel cells, biocontrol in agriculture and patterning in microfluidic devices. Kumar said the work has been aided by two undergraduate students from the chemical engineering department’s summer Research Experience for Undergraduates program. “Penn State chemical engineering senior Tevin Moore and University of Oklahoma sophomore James Guerra have already built a see-through RO system that lets the team observe biofilm growth in real time.” The three-year grant is titled “Living Reverse Osmosis Membranes: Engineered Membrane Biofilms that Control Their Own Thickness, Prevent Biofouling and Degrade Contaminants.”
