UNIVERSITY PARK — This Friday marks the one-year anniversary of the Freeh Report. The report, by former FBI Director Louis Freeh, was a scathing assessment of Penn State’s role in the Jerry Sandusky scandal. A year later, the repercussions are still being felt. Freeh’s investigation was used as the rationale behind harsh sanctions leveled against the football team by the NCAA. The fallout also contributed to changes in governance by the Penn State Board of Trustees — and disgruntled alumni have LOUIS FREEH voted to reshape the board’s membership. On July 11, the board of trustees will convene for two days of meetings. Here’s how events have played since the Freeh Report came out:
PLEASANT GAP — For Ashley Brittan, a trip to Kansas City for the SkillsUSA nationals featured very little pressure. “It was very exciting and Missouri was really a lot of fun,” said Brittan, 23, of Mill Hall. “My family went down with me and we kind of made it a big deal.” As well they should have. Brittan was one of the few to make it to SkillsUSA nationals. At nationals, dental assistant students competed in several events, including chairside assisting, preparation of dental materials, infection control as well as emergency, laboratory and office procedures. To earn a spot in the national competition, Brittan had to take top honors at districts, then states and finally, nationals. “I just like to learn, so I knew I’d be able to be in the classroom more and get more hands-on experience,” Brittan explained. “I was just taking in as much information as I could. It was a learning experience.” Brittan is a graduate of Central Pennsylvania Institute of Science and Technology’s dental assistant program. According to program instructor Mindi Tobias, she expected Brittan to fare well at the competition. “Ashley’s just a fantastic student,” Tobias said. “It is quite an accomplishment. To be hon-
“CALLOUS AND SHOCKING DISREGARD FOR CHILD VICTIMS” On July 12, 2012, Freeh released his 267-page report followed by a news conference in Philadelphia. He blasted the late head football coach Joe Paterno and former Penn State administrators Graham Spanier, Tim Curley and Gary Schultz. Freeh and his team of investigators say the men knowingly concealed child sexual abuse committed by Jerry Sandusky in order to maintain the image of the Penn State football program. The report rocked the university and its supporters, as Freeh blamed Paterno, Spanier, Curley and Schultz for what he said was their inaction. Freeh claims those men should have done more to stop Sandusky. Freeh made 119 recommendations to the Penn State board of trustees. The board took up the report during its public meeting the next day saying the university was grateful for Freeh’s 119 recommendations. Former chairwoman Karen Peetz said the board planned to ensure “a collapse in leadership of this magnitude never happens again.” Penn State President Rodney Erickson said, “We are committed to addressing our failings. But this report also reinforces our commitment to helping to build greater awareness of the societal issue of child abuse.”
“UNPRECEDENTED” SANCTIONS On July 23, just over a week after the release of the Freeh report, NCAA President Mark Emmert announced Penn State had entered into a consent decree with the NCAA and The Big Ten. This put in place the university’s sweeping, and what Emmert called unprecedented, sanctions. Penalties, which are still in place, include a four-year postseason football ban, a significant loss in football scholarships, a $60 million fine and all wins under Paterno between 1998-2011 will be vacated. Penn State football fans, former players and the Paterno family alike condemned the harsh penalties. Critics claim innocent people were wrongly punished.

TOTAL LOSS: The apartments at Waupelani Heights were destroyed by a fire on the Fourth of July. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Dozens displaced by fire at complex By BRITTANY SVOBODA correspondern@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — The Centre Communities Chapter of the American Red Cross is offering assistance to more than a dozen residents affected by a fire at Waupelani Heights last Thursday. Virginia Brown, chapter executive director, said one Red Cross staff member and four disaster services volunteers were at Waupelani Heights the night of the fire. They worked with the families and individuals who were home at the time, 15 out of 19 that evening, Brown said. The five Red Cross responders sat with the families and individuals as they arrived back to their apartments, she said, and assessed what they needed. Victims received a client card, similar to a credit card, Brown said. They can go out and buy food, clothing, shelter needs and other things like prescription medications with the preloaded card, she said. Two people were rescued by firefighters from a balcony, the only ones in the building at the time, according to reports. The fire started on Thursday night while many of its residents were out for Fourth of July celebrations, including the 4thFest fireworks show near Beaver Stadium. All 19 apartments were destroyed. Brown said that 12 of the 15 families the Red Cross responders began to help the night of the fire at Waupelani Heights were Penn State graduate students. The university

has stepped in, she said, and since offered them housing in the dormitories on campus. In the days ahead, Brown said, the Red Cross and other agencies will be assessing what the families and individuals who lost their homes will need. As well as helping those directly affected by the fire, the Red Cross also offered services to more than 150 firefighters and other volunteers who responded to the blaze. Emergency officials were at the scene for hours while rescuing anyone inside the apartments and accounting for the 40 plus residents who lived at the building. They saved several pets, as well.

Gunshot injures man in lot By STEVE BAUER StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — An unidentified man was shot in the hand after his own gun unexpectedly fired off a round. It happened Monday afternoon outside the Walmart store on North Atherton Street. Patton Township Police Chief John Petrick describes the incident as a freak accident. According to Petrick, the 45-year-old victim was walking through the Walmart parking lot when a passing driver waved
him across the road, “He jogged across the traffic way, the gun fell out of his holster, he picks it up and it discharges,” says Petrick. “He had several bags in his hand and was rushing to pick up the gun and got tangled up.” The gunshot, fired from a .40-caliber Glock, struck the man in his right hand. He was taken to Mount Nittany Medical Center for treatment. There’s no word on the extent of his injuries. Petrick says no one else was hurt and, “The bullet fell right there on the asphalt.” The victim has a valid firearm carry permit. No charges will be filed.
Former United Way official faces charges By The Associated Press STATE COLLEGE — Police in central Pennsylvania say the former finance director of the Centre County United Way faces charges for using the nonprofit’s credit card to pay for $17,000 in personal expenses. The Centre Daily Times reports (http://bit.ly/1aa3vrV ) Bellefonte resident Doris Conner used the card for things including airline tickets for family members, paying veterinary bills and attending
events. Police say she faces charges including theft by deception, receiving stolen property and other counts for purchases between May 2002 and June 2012. She was arraigned Monday and released on $20,000 bail. A message left for her attorney was not immediately returned. Tammy Gentzel, the United Way chapter’s executive director, says it has received partial restitution from Conner and its insurance company and that it’s confident it will recoup all the missing funds.

Arts festival director perfect fit for lead role By LAURA NICHOLS StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — The arts festival has been a big part of Rick Bryant’s life for a long time. He’s come a long way from his post-undergraduate days as a volunteer trash collector, rising to the lead role of festival director. His friends say it’s his glowing personality, loyalty and creativity that make him the right fit for the big job. “He has a heart of gold, and he would do anything for his friends,� says Martha Freeman, who’s known Bryant for 15 years. “He keeps his friends close because he’s so thoughtful ... he’s always writing things down, listening, and ready to help out. “You can see he has an amazing aesthetic eye. He’s very sophisticated,� Freeman says. Bryant, who’s known as “The Wandering Wahoo� on Twitter and his personal blog, calls himself a “doofus hipster wannabe� and says he was voted most clumsy in his senior class. During Bryant’s first week as festival director, a truck ran over his leg, forcing him to have surgery the
Tuesday of festival week. Minus the mishap, Bryant has enjoyed a lot of success as festival director. His parents moved to State College in 1948, long before the festival began. Bryant came back to the area after graduating from the RICK BRYANT University of Virginia and was working in insurance at his father’s office on South Allen Street. Volunteering for the trash crew felt like a “good way to meet people,� Bryant says. He had no idea at the time it would turn into a career. Eventually, Bryant left insurance for a full-time position with the Arts Festival as the director of visual of arts, and was later named director. Pam Lautsch, who’s known Bryant for nearly 30 years, since his days as a volunteer on the trash crew, says Bryant’s unique
skills make him a great director. She thinks his background in insurance gives him the “business acumen� to deal with the financial needs of the arts festival and his degree, in architectural history, gives him a creative edge. “His degree is much more visually oriented, and that really comes through with how he perceives the art and the overall layout,� says Lautsch, the arts festival sidewalk sale coordinator. “He’s eclectic, very minimalist. He definitely gets right to the point, and at the same time, he’s a very caring person,� Lautsch says. “And he’s hysterically funny.� Bryant has always had a penchant for creativity, and the arts festival, coupled with his writing, allowed him to fulfill his longtime love for the arts. He's a minimalist, and says visitors to his home can get a feel of his style just by looking around. A few members of Bryant's family are local – he has a sister in Bellefonte, a brother in Penns Valley and a nephew in State College – who come to the arts festival every year.
“I have a very colorful family,� Bryant says. “We each think we're the normal one.� A lot of work goes in to making the arts festival a reality each year. Bryant's favorite part, year after year, continues to be the people. “I like seeing all of my old friends,� he says. “It's really nice.� Freeman says his love for family and friends is what makes arts festival volunteers flock to Bryant, offering their help. “One thing is his work ethic, but another thing he brings to the festival ... the people are amazingly loyal to him. He's inspiring, and a good friend and people want to be a good friend to him,� Freeman says. Lautsch says part of the reason people come back year after year to volunteer is because of Bryant's warm and welcoming personality. “You just want to be around him. He's one of those kind of guys you want to be a friend to. Part of it is his humor and part of it is this underlying current, he wants everybody to be part of the group joy and fun and experience,� she says.
From small start to a big deal: History of the arts fest By LAURA NICHOLS StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — The Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts wasn’t always the major event it is today. Festival director Rick Bryant says it took years to become a national force. “It’s been a gradual transition,� Bryant said. “Long and slow.� Founded by the State College Chamber of Commerce and the Penn State College of Arts and Architecture, it started small, with local garage bands as the only performers. Bryant says the arts fest even included educational television programming, which consisted of certain programs being shown on Channel 3. That was 1967. Today, there are about 300 artists from around the country who showcase their work at the sidewalk sale, well-known bands playing sets downtown, a Children’s Day and even an event on New Year’s Eve to kick off the arts festival season. Each year, the countdown to the arts festival begins with First Night State College, on New Year’s Eve, which is a family-oriented event with music, horse-pulled carriage rides and ice sculptures. There’s a lot of hard work involved in putting the arts fest together. Organizers spend an entire year choosing the artists and the musicians. The arts fest has been a juried show since 1971. A “jury� selects the the artists for the sidewalk sale — picking 300 artists from about 1,000 applicants. Artists from all over the country submit their work, which is judged. “We’ve had artists show from Sweden and Canada, too,� Bryant said. Choosing music acts is another tough job. Members of the arts fest staff listen to bands’ sets, from all over the country, both live and on recordings. Bryant has been to arts festivals in many different states and hasn’t seen anything quite like the five-day-long event that more than 100,000 people attend and has brought in millions of dollars for the borough. Over the years, Children’s Day has been added, a day dedicated to arts, crafts and activities for the youngest State College residents to get some early exposure to the arts. “It’s pretty exciting. It puts State College on the map, in many ways,� Bryant said.

THE 2013 Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts is in full swing. The event has grown significantly since its inception. The arts festival has a small staff; three full-time people, and one part-timer. Once the festival ends, organizers wait about a month before starting to plan the next year’s event. And then the whole process begins again. This year, the 46th annual Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts runs from July 10-14.

Support for fire victims going strong By LAURA NICHOLS StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — P.J. Mullen has seen parents break down and cry, right in the B94.5 Station office. Since Friday, the radio station has been collecting donations for people who lost everything in a Fourth of July fire that devastated an apartment complex on Waupelani Drive. A fundraiser was held at the State College Spikes game Tuesday night. By the time the game started at 7 p.m., a pickup truck was filled with much-needed supplies. Three volunteers stood beside the truck which was covered in food donations, clothes, toys and other goods. “Things are going very well. We’re happy with the turnout,” says Sean McDermott, an intern at B94.5. “I don’t know if these people really know (the victims) that well, but still,
it’s a community, and the response is awesome.” McDermott says they received “truckloads and truckloads” of donations on Friday night, when the first fundraiser was held at Tussey Mountain. The quick response hasn’t slowed, and the volunteers say they plan to continue collecting whatever they can to help the families affected by the fire at the Waupelani Heights apartment complex. Supplies are being distributed to the fire victims and that will continue until they have all or more than they need. People have donated cribs, brand new clothes, gift cards and more. One Penn State graduate in Hawaii sent $200. Mullen, the program director at B94.5, says the response to the fundraising efforts by the local community has been “amazing.” “Happy Valley never ceases to
amaze me. This is just another example of someone getting knocked down and the community picking them back up,” Mullen says. Support has come in from across the country. Mullen has been in contact with at least 11 families. He says those people have been through a lot and they’re grateful for the help. Mullen plans to coordinate his radio station’s efforts with the Salvation Army to make things “a little more official.” Flames roared through an entire building at the Waupelani Heights apartment complex on Thursday. The three-alarm fire damaged or destroyed 19 nineteen units, leaving dozens of people homeless. Firefighters arrived just after 8 p.m. and worked late into the night to put out the flames. The fire marshal has not determined the cause of the fire.

Court hearing set for ex-PSU administrators By MARK SCOLFORO The Associated Press
HARRISBURG — A long-delayed preliminary hearing for three former Penn State administrators accused of a criminal cover-up of sex abuse complaints about ex-assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky has been scheduled for later this month. Harrisburg District Judge William Wenner said Tuesday the three-day hearing for Graham Spanier, Gary Schultz and Tim Curley will begin in just under three weeks. The proceeding will determine if prosecutors have enough evidence to send the matter to county court for trial. The three men are accused of obstruction, conspiracy and other offenses for their handling of complaints about Sandusky, who eventually was charged with abusing several boys. The men all vigorously deny the allegations. Sandusky was convicted a year ago of dozens of counts of child sexual abuse but maintains his innocence and is appealing a 30- to 60-year state prison term. Spanier was forced out as university president shortly after Sandusky’s arrest. Curley and Schultz were first arrested in November 2011. The hearing will begin July 29, in the Dauphin County Courthouse in Harrisburg, and continue on July 30 and Aug. 1 if needed. The judge previously presided over a preliminary hearing for the first set of charges against Curley and Schultz. The hearing for Spanier and additional charges filed against the other two late last year has been held up because of a legal dispute about the role played in the case by the university’s then-chief counsel, Cynthia Baldwin, who accompanied them to their grand jury appearances. On June 7 the state Supreme Court denied an appeal by Curley and Schultz that has been pursued under seal, as it involves grand jury matters. In a typical Pennsylvania criminal case, the preliminary hearing is held within weeks, or a month or two, of the arrest. Curley is the school’s former athletic director, and Schultz is a retired Penn State vice president. Schultz lawyer Tom Farrell and Spanier lawyer Tim Lewis declined to comment on the hearing being scheduled. Neither a spokeswoman for Curley’s legal team nor a spokesman for the attorney general’s office, which is prosecuting the case, offered immediate comment. The arrest of Sandusky on pedophilia charges led to the firing of Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno and resulted in an agreement between Penn State and the NCAA to impose stiff penalties against one of the nation’s premiere college football programs. A year ago this week, Penn State received a report from former FBI Director Louis Freeh that found that Paterno, who died in January 2012, Spanier, Curley and Schultz concealed a 2001 allegation against Sandusky to protect Penn State from bad publicity. The late coach’s family, as well as Spanier, Curley and Schultz, dispute Freeh’s assertions.

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State said Monday its fundraising efforts rebounded last year after a drop-off in donations followed the arrest of former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky on child molestation charges. Total alumni giving reached nearly $88 million in the year that ended in June, up from about $71 million a year earlier but still down from $131 million in 2010-11. That year a major donation for the school’s ice hockey program caused a spike in total donations. The total number of donors rose to an all-time high of about 193,000, and the school was 92 percent of the way toward meeting a $2 billion goal for a campaign that began in 2007. “For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students” has raised $400 million for facilities and $688 million toward the endowment, in addition to hundreds of millions of additional funds. Rod Kirsch, vice president for development and alumni relations, said giving to the university remained solid despite the Sandusky scandal, a transition to a new president, a rough national economy and uncertainty about federal tax laws. Total receipts, a measure of how much the money the university actually collects, amounted to about $238 million last year, an increase of $29 million from a year earlier. The arrest of Sandusky and two university administrators in November 2011 was followed last summer by Sandusky’s conviction and the release of a damning report, commissioned by Penn State, about how the school handled complaints about the former coach’s encounters with children. The school’s trustees are meeting in southwestern Pennsylvania on Friday, which will mark a year since the release of the Freeh report, as it has become known. Some alumni have objected to how the school handled the Freeh report, which was critical of the actions by former head coach Joe Paterno, who died of lung cancer in January 2012. Others have criticized the university’s consent agreement with the NCAA, made a year ago, that avoided a complete ban on football but kept the football team out of post-season play for four years, and required a $60 million fine, among other things.

School board talks plan to decide project options By LAURA NICHOLS StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — The State College Area School Board of Directors is hoping to engage the public as it moves toward a referendum on the high school project. Board members want to keep everyone as informed as possible, as part of an effort to reach consensus on the scope of that project. At Monday night’s meeting, the board publicly endorsed a plan to narrow the concepts and budget for the project. The board discussed how the process will allow its members to “downselect� plans for the new high school. The two-part downselect process will include a review of a survey sent to school district residents. There is also an evaluation compiled by the board’s Culture, Climate and Learning subcommittee. Board members want to whittle down proposed concepts to just one or two by the Sept. 9 meeting. At that meeting, the board is expected to establish a budget for the high school project. At the next regular meeting on July 22, the board will vote on the first high school option to eliminate. The decision will be
based on community feedback from those surveys. The board wants the community to act as a “gatekeeper� on this process, with the public’s input considered the most important component of the decision-making process leading to the referendum. The board will review the survey results at a July 15 work session. About 6,750 surveys were mailed out and an estimated 1,600 results have been returned so far. In order to move forward, a concept must have support from at least 50 percent of the respondents. The survey data will help the board determine the maximum dollar amount the community is willing to invest in the high school. The survey asked voters to determine how much they’re willing to spend, with options ranging from less than $70 million to more than $140 million. The survey also allowed respondents to say they don’t support any amount or need more information. Other data from the survey will include information on community preferences regarding the tax increase, which should help structure the financial plan, and the location of the high school.

OPTIONS ARE still being discussed for the State College Area High School project. The district is considering a variety of choices and is gathering public input on the matter.
U.S. Rep. Thompson receives award From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — U.S. Rep. Glenn “GT� Thompson, R-Howard, recently received the eighth annual Friend of Penn State legislative award. A 1981 Penn State graduate, Thompson received the award on July 2 at a luncheon ceremony on Penn State’s University Park campus. He was chosen for the honor by the Legislative Education and Advocacy Committee of Alumni Council, the Alumni Association’s governing body. The Friend of Penn State legislative award recognizes state and federal legislators who have played a significant role in the continued improvement of Penn State. Thompson — widely known as “GT� — is a member of the House Agriculture Committee and is now serving his second term as chairman of its Subcommittee on Conservation, Energy and Forestry. He also serves on the Natural Resources Committee, and the Education and Workforce Committee. Thompson holds a bachelor’s degree in therapeutic recreation from Penn State and a master’s degree in education from Temple University. Kevin Steele, chair of the Alumni Association’s Legislative Education and Advocacy Committee, said Thompson “is a proud Penn State alum and an active supporter of Penn State, particularly its College of Agricultural Sciences." “Glenn Thompson has been a strong advocate for Pennsylvania agriculture — one of the state’s top industries,� said Steele. “GT takes part in and strongly supports agriculture-related events at Penn State, has advocated for federal funding for Penn State and has shown many times that he understands the uniqueness and importance of agricultural research and extension programs.� Thompson said receiving the award “is a distinct honor, but the real privilege is being able to work with the talented scientists and students at Penn State. The commonwealth of Pennsylvania is blessed to have such a world-class research institution in Penn State delivering new technical and scientific innovations that improve quality of life and help our economy modernize and grow. I look forward to continuing this partnership to promote public service and advance educational excellence.�

By The Associated Press HARRISBURG — Gov. Tom Corbett will not appeal the dismissal last month of his antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA, an administration attorney said Monday. Corbett filed the suit in January in an attempt to reverse sanctions against Penn State University over the Jerry Sandusky scandal, including a $60 million fine and a four-year ban on football bowl games. U.S. District Judge Yvette Kane ruled June 6 that the suit fell short of requirements under antitrust law. In a prepared statement, state General Counsel James D. Schultz acknowledged the case is over. But he said Kane’s decision “did highlight key issues that could be beneficial to other ongoing legal cases concerning the potential harm caused by the NCAA’s actions.� Several Penn State faculty members, the family of late head football coach Joe Paterno and more than a dozen others filed a separate suit in May against the NCAA. Their 40-page complaint, another effort to void the sanctions, alleges contractual failures by the NCAA, conspiracy and defamation, among other claims. The NCAA did not return calls seeking comment. Schultz vowed the state will be vigilant. “We will continue to review legal options available to defend state law, including the requirement that all fine money paid by Penn State be used to support Pennsylvania programs aimed at preventing child sexual abuse,� he said.

est, I knew she could do it from the moment she told me she was interested in the competition at the district level. I had no doubts that she could go all the way.â€? She had to win districts and then states just to earn a spot at the national competition. At the competition, Brittan had to take a written test first, followed by several hands-on procedures. “We took impressions, poured out the model ‌ there was an identifying oral pathology test, infection control, stuff like that,â€? Brittan said. Skills evaluated included administrative, clinical or laboratory dental areas. According to Tobias, the program at CPI helped get Brittan ready for the competition. “We are a nine-month program,â€? Tobias said. “We have six completely fully-functional operatories. Everything is state of the art. We also have a mobile unit that goes out into the community where they actually get live hands-on experience working on patients, which is unique for this area.â€? That hands-on experience paid dividends in Kansas City, where hundreds of dental assisting students had gathered for a showdown for the gold. CPI president Richard C. Makin said Brittan’s award was a feather in the cap of the dental assistant program. “There’s only one national winner and you’re looking at her,â€? Makin said, pointing to Brittan. “It says a lot about Ashley, about Mrs. Tobias. This is a huge accomplishment.â€? Brittan currently works at Loyalsock Dental Associates. As she stood and talked about Brittan, it was clear that Tobias was very proud of her student. “For the program, this is outstanding. To say that we have a student who is first in the nation is pretty incredible,â€? Tobias said. “There are a lot of teachers who strive to have their student be first in the nation their entire careers. I’m five years in and (Ashley) is my second one.â€?

An Aug. 9 conference call was held for the Board of Trustees to consider ratifying the consent decree. The board was divided over the issue and still has not publicly voted on the consent decree. On Aug. 26, less than three weeks before their next regularly scheduled meeting, the Penn State Board of Trustees held a retreat at the Penn Stater Conference Center and Hotel. They discussed the search for the next Penn State President, which should conclude by 2014.
PUBLIC COMMENT BEGINS At the September board meetings, the first public comment hour was held. Each person who commented ripped into the board for its treatment of Paterno — especially the way Paterno was dismissed from his job. The trend continued, as each meeting saw members of Penn Staters for Responsible Stewardship, members of Penn State Lettermen’s Club and other Penn State football reporters signed up to address the board. The board does not answer the questions presented to them during public comment.
SANDUSKY SENTENCED On Oct. 9, Jerry Sandusky was sentenced to 30-60 years in prison for his conviction by jury of sex crimes against children. He is currently serving his sentence at SCI Greene, a maximum security prison, where he is in solitary confinement for 23 hours per day.

IT HAS been one year since the Freeh Report was released. The Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal wound up costing Penn State millions of dollars.
Penn State held its first-ever conference on child sexual abuse on Oct. 29-30 at the Penn Stater Conference Center and Hotel. Keynote speakers included former kidnapping victim Elizabeth Smart and boxing champion Sugar Ray Leonard.

On Nov. 1, Spanier was indicted by a new grand jury report, along with Curley and Schultz. Former Pennsylvania Attorney General Linda Kelly said the men knowingly shielded child sexual abuse to protect their power. The men were charged with various counts in their role in the Sandusky scandal, and the cases are still in the court system today. The men are trying to have the case dismissed.

On Jan. 2, Governor Tom Corbett announced an antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA seeking to reverse the sanctions. Corbett made his announcement at the Nittany Lion Inn, flanked by local leaders. Penn State said it had no part in the suit. Corbett’s suit was dismissed by a judge in May.
The board of trustees meets in Hershey, for general purposes. The members discussed changing some of the board’s bylaws and provide an update on the progress of implementing the Freeh recommendations.
BOARD ELECTION In May, the board enacts changes that include removing the Penn State president and governor as voting members of the board. They announce the election of three new members, all of them were endorsed by PS4RS. This ousts Stephanie Deviney, who was co-chair. At the end of the month, the Paterno family files a lawsuit against the NCAA. Some members of the board join as plaintiffs in the suit, along with faculty members and former Penn State football players. The university says it is not a party to the lawsuit.

Jobless rate shows reason for optimism The June unemployment figures should make everybody happy — except large borrowers from the government and the 11.8 million unemployed who didn’t get one of the 195,000 jobs created law month. The unemployment rate, which was a big deal politically leading up to the November election but is rarely mentioned outside of economic circles now, was unchanged at 7.6 percent. That the rate remained static is actually good news because it means workers who had been sitting out the recession are coming back into the job market. The labor-force participation rate — those with a job or actively looking for one — rose to 63.5 percent, briefly halting a long-term decline from a peak of 67.3 percent in 2000. The decline is as much demographics as economics because much of it is due to Dale McFeatters is a baby boomers retiring. columnist for The 195,000 new jobs reflect robust Scripps-Howard growth. In revised figures, the governNews Service. ment said 70,000 more jobs were added in April and May — 50,000 in April, 20,000 in May — than previously reported. It’s likely the June number will be revised upward next month, too. The economy has added an average 202,000 jobs a month for the past six months, meaning fears that the tax hikes at the beginning of the year and the mandatory cuts in federal spending would hurt the job market haven’t materialized, at least as yet. Average hourly pay rose 10 cents to $24.01, staying well ahead of inflation. Pay rose 2.2 percent over the preceding 12 months while prices rose only 1.4 percent. Strong unemployment reports always cause a flutter in the bond market because it likely indicates a cutback in the Federal Reserve’s $85 billion-a-month asset-buying program. And bond yields did rise on the jobs report, from 2.56 percent to 2.7 percent, showing that bond buyers at least believe the economic improvement is real. The Fed’s bond purchases have pumped money into those sectors of the economy that rely heavily on credit, like home purchases and car sales, but the Fed has indicated it will begin winding down the program toward the end of the year and end it altogether on that happy day when unemployment drops to 6.5 percent. The only worrisome spots in the improvement are out of our control — the economies in Europe and China. But even setbacks there would only slow, not stop, the recovery.

‘American exceptionalism’ exists July Fourth was a good day to think about “American exceptionalism.” In general, it’s not a term that I’m fond of. If a nation has to spend too much energy insisting that it’s “exceptional,” maybe it isn’t. But this is a touchy point with many Americans. A couple of years ago, our deliberative, evenhanded president was hit with considerable criticism when he made the mistake of saying, “I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British excepJohn M. Crisp tionalism and the teaches English at Greeks believe in Del Mar College in Corpus Christi, Greek exceptionTexas. His column alism.” is distributed by The scandalScripps Howard ized responses News Service. Email thoroughly dehim at jcrisp@ c o n t e x t u a l i ze d delmar.edu. his remark. Elsewhere in the same speech, the president talked clearly about just how remarkable and exceptional our country is. But the snippet provided an irresistible opening to critics from the right, some of whom said President Barack Obama doesn’t believe that there’s anything at all remarkable about us, that we’re just like everyone else.
JOHN CRISP
Clearly, the president was making a charitable rhetorical concession to the feelings that many citizens have about their countries. To think of your own clan or tribe or nation as different from and better than all the others — that is, “exceptional” — is one of the most basic human impulses. The Navajo aren’t the first or only nation to call themselves, simply, “the people,” as if there were no others. Many groups think of themselves as “chosen.” Nevertheless, maybe there is something special about America. The current events in Cairo drive home emphatically just how hard it is to create and nurture a lasting, effective democracy like ours. After the uprising that tossed out Hosni Mubarak, Mohammed Morsi was duly elected. Now, a year later, dissatisfaction with his leadership has led, not to impeachment or renewed preparations for the next election, but to a military coup. The army promises to maintain the trend toward democracy, but who knows? At the same time, our ill-advised attempt to plant democracy in Iraq is sliding in the direction of chaos and sectarian warfare. Other examples abound, but the upshot is that much of the world just has a tough time establishing the kind of functioning democracy that we’ve managed to create here. Of course, many Middle East and African countries are hampered by the arbitrary boundaries set up across ethnic and cultural fault lines by colonial powers. Some countries don’t have enough natural resources to de-
velop a stable economy conducive to democracy. Others have too many for their own good. Furthermore, our country has been working at democracy for a lot longer than most countries. Of course, our “city upon a hill” was never Eden. Our nation grew out of the destruction of the Indians, slavery, an exploitative war against Mexico, a civil war and hard-fought, protracted battles to realize the rights of minorities, women and gays. And even exceptional nations aren’t perfect. Not all Americans will agree, but it’s hard to deny that other countries are way ahead of us in at least some things, like capital punishment, public health, public transportation, gun violence, income inequality, gay rights, class mobility and response to climate change. Still, last week’s events in Egypt, Iraq, Syria and many other places remind us that the United States is an excellent place to live. Some of this we owe to the wisdom and will of our founders and ancestors. Some of it we owe to the vast, largely untouched trove of resources that lay before the first settlers. In some ways, we’ve just been lucky. Of course, our culture has its own fault lines, but usually we manage to use the rule of law to resolve them without taking to the streets, which is exceptional enough in the modern world. Sure, we’re exceptional, but maybe we can find a way to appreciate our exceptionalism, while tempering it with realism and modesty. Now, that would be exceptional, indeed.
Obama might be a flat-earther He got cute the other day, President Barack Obama did. Making a speech about global warming and people who don’t see solutions his way, he said the judgment of science is conclusive, all objections have been vanquished and “we don’t have time for a meeting of the flat-earth society.” Obama himself is a flatearther. How else would you describe someone who ceremoniously overlooks three years’ worth of scientific study watched over by a goodly portion of the federal government and summed up in eight volumes of precise, explicit, verifiable detail? Jay Ambrose is a He did that, columnist for listening not to Scripps-Howard News Service. the findings of research on the Keystone XL Pipeline that said, look, this project is safe, or to the State Department that had been principally in charge.

thousands of jobs and billions upon billions of dollars to the economy, he delayed it in 2011 after some radical environmentalists said this old world of ours would be kaput with Keystone. The fear was that this tar sands oil would emit disastrous amounts of carbon dioxide, but, if you want to get back to science, here’s what it says: It would add a fraction of 1 percent to our emissions of carbon dioxide each year. And by the way, if we weren’t using that oil, China would, and carbon dioxide from China gets in the atmosphere and has a greenhouse effect as surely as carbon dioxide from the United States. Does Obama know that? I’ve written about all of this before, quoting much of the above data from Adam J. White, a D.C. lawyer who crafted a superb piece for the Weekly Standard, and am writing about it again because, in his supercilious speech on warming the other day, Obama incredibly said we had to check out the pipeline’s climate impact before giving it the go-ahead. There’s a lot of talk these days about low-information voters, and I guess Obama believes they were his listeners. High-information voters would know we’ve been checking out this pipeline since 2008. It’s OK. The pipeline stuff was a small piece of what he discussed, but it is representative of the miscast notions of much of the rest of the Obama plan. Besides frowning at the
pipeline, the strategy may eventually stop energy companies from burning coal here and do what’s possible to stop it abroad. And, says the Heritage Foundation, we will thus see an increase in the price of natural gas, the substitute. The plan will also plow public money into private green-energy projects that will succeed without help if they have what it takes and will fail and again test the ability of Obama to make excuses if they don’t. All of this adds up to still more wasteful spending, higher energy costs for one and all, fewer jobs and no help to speak of on global warming. You see, as scientists absolutely affirm, the United States acting alone can’t do the job. Fixing global warming, if it can be fixed, requires a global effort. Much of the world is gradually pulling itself out of poverty and would have to pull still harder with less success if it adopted anti-warming measures. That’s not going to happen, and meanwhile, we should all note that the production of ever more natural gas through fracking was already reducing carbon emissions here without government intervention that inevitably has unintended consequences. Whatever else you want to believe about the warming debate — and there is more of a debate than Obama admits — understand that no national rescue mission in and of itself will rescue anyone and that some measures can do positive harm.

STATE COLLEGE — A new urgent care clinic has opened in State College with extended hours, providing more flexible access for patients with certain illnesses. Dr. Paul’s Clinic, located at 2214 N. Atherton St., is open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from 2 to 11 p.m. on Sundays. Owned by Dr. Paul Kattupalli, it offers treatment for all illnesses except those lifethreatening, such as heart attack and stroke, Kattupalli said. “We also provide school physicals, occupational health, drug screens, X-ray services, vaccines (and) detoxification programs for alcoholism (and) drug addiction,� he said. The clinic, which employs one doctor and six nurses, opened on May 1, Kattupalli said. The idea is to offer patients a place to receive care during hours they otherwise might not be able to, he said. “After 9 p.m., patients have only one place to go: ER,� Kattupalli said. “They wait longer and pay more in the ER for the treatment of sickness we can take care of in an urgent care clinic. There is no clinic for the community after 9 p.m. We are the only place open besides the ER to take care of the community after 9 p.m.� The clinic treats the following illnesses and conditions, among others: migraine, pink eye, eye lid problems and ear infections, sinus infections, sore and strep throat, fever, couch, bronchitis, pelvic pain, urinary tract infections,
ALTOONA — Home Nursing Agency’s recognition brunch in May celebrated the agency’s 45-year anniversary, honored employees who had perfect attendance or reached years of service milestones, and recognized five employees and one volunteer with special awards based on nominations from their colleagues or supervisors.

Colyer parade and picnic celebrates Independence Day By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
COLYER —The village of Colyer lies in the southern end of Potter Township. It might be called a sleepy little village, but Colyer awakens from its tranquility for one day each year — on the Fourth of July. That’s the day when the residents of Colyer and the surrounding area get together and have their own float parade, followed by a community picnic at the farm of Doug and Jane Mothersbaugh. The Colyer parade originated in 1996, when some 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. Just like that, a tradition was born. The first impromptu parade reportedly had just seven spectators. Soon, the parade grew, acquiring many more antique tractors, floats, horses, antique cars and hundreds of American flags waving in the warm July breeze. The specta-
tor count has increased to hundreds over the years. The parade forms at the Mothersbaugh Farm on Lake Road (near Colyer Lake), follows Bubb Road, Polecat Road, Race Track Road, Dogtown Road, Colyer Road, back to Bubb Road, and returns to the starting point on Lake Road. The route traces out a loop of about 3½ miles, which nearly eliminates any parade units making the trek on foot on a hot July day. Parade floats displayed great creativity in their design and construction. A recurring theme of some floats is humorous satire on current events. In 2011, Britain’s royal wedding was parodied by a float with the royal couple wearing Mickey Mouse ears and a visibly pregnant bride with an oddball crew of attendants. Last year “the 2012 Colyer Olympics” float displayed the five Olympic rings made from different colored toilet seats on the front of the tow vehicle, and competitors tossing oversize “horseshoes” also made from toilet seats at a toilet plunger pin.
This year’s parade featured a float claiming that “Colyer captures Edward Snowden.” The float had Snowden (Peter Kistler) wearing a Russian-style hat sitting at a table with his laptop computer, and an unnamed Colyer resident clad in bright orange hunting gear standing over Snowden, holding a shotgun in one hand and a hangman’s noose in the other. A more serious float carrying Colyer residents Scott Wyland, Sharon Hege and family members, urged residents and spectators to “save Colyer Lake.” Colyer Lake has been drained to less than half its normal level due to weakening detected in its earthen dam. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (a self-funded state agency), which owns and maintains the lake lacks the funds to make the necessary repairs, which would cost over a million dollars. Local residents are mounting a fund raising campaign to rescue the lake. “Save Colyer Lake” T-shirts were being sold along the parade route to aid the cause. Following the parade, a huge

were supplied by the parade committee. Committee member Tom Kistler was pleased by the large turnout at the picnic. “There must be about 500 people here,” he said.

Plant exhibit on display until Sept. 17 From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — The exhibit “Healthy Plants for a Healthy World: 50 Years of Plant Pathology at Penn State,” will be on display now through Sept. 17 in The Eberly Family Special Collections Library, 104 Paterno Library, at Penn State University Park. General exhibit hours are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday. Plant Pathology has a long tradition at Penn State as one of the first of seven undergraduate majors described in the College of Agriculture in 1908. In 1913, the Department of Botany and Plant Pathology was formed, and the first graduate degree in plant pathology was awarded in 1915. Botany and plant pathology parted ways amicably in 1963, with the formation of the new department of plant pathology, with James Tammen as the first department head. Recently, the faculty elected to broaden the focus of the department to include environmental microbiology, a disci-
pline closely associated with plant pathology concepts and encompassing the research disciplines of many faculty. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of the department and its first year as the Plant Pathology and Environmental Microbiology Department. Today, the Department of Plant Pathology and Environmental Microbiology, in the College of Agricultural Sciences, is dedicated to being an international leader in the integration of research, teaching and extension for the protection of food and fiber crops; for the maintenance of a healthy and sustainable environment; and for understanding the role of microorganisms in the environment. The focus of the faculty is on innovative research, excellence in mentoring students, productivity in scholarship and outreach service to society. The plant pathology exhibit additionally will be open during the special events times. Call (814) 865-1793 to confirm times. For more information, visit http://plantpath.psu.edu.
BOALSBURG — Two local chefs will demonstrate how to prepare dishes using fresh ingredients obtained at the Boalsburg Farmers’ Market beginning at 2:30 p.m. on July 16 at the market, which is held at the Pennsylvania Military Museum on South Atherton Street in Boalsburg.

PAWS ADOPT-A-PET Mack, a mature Papillon mix male, is excited that July has started but does not want it to end without him finding a forever family. Mack is the perfect companion dog; he is sweet, calm and loves to snuggle on a lap. He is also great on walks. He stays close to his person and walks very nicely on the leash. Having spent most of his life living with an older couple, Mack would prefer a home without children. He is good with other dogs but has not had much experience around cats. Mack is also house-broken and cratetrained, so much so that he actually enjoys sleeping in his crate. If Mack sounds like the perfect addition to your home, you can read more about him at http://www.centrecountypaws.org/ dogs/ or meet him in person at PAWS, 1401 Trout Road, State College.

Happy Valley Optical With roots in State College since the 1960s, Happy Valley Optical offers area residents all their eye care needs in a fun, friendly, family environment. After being purchased by optician Scott Dutt in 2005, the business moved to its current location of 208 S. Allen St. Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, Robin M. Dutt, serves as Happy Valley Opticalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s optometrist and has provided care to the State College area for the last 11 years. Scott and Robin are Penn State alumni, having met as undergraduate students. Open from 9 a.m.- 7 p.m. on Mondays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. on Saturdays, Happy Valley Optical offers varying times to schedule appointments, meeting the needs of busy area families and professionals. Featuring an on-site optical lab, Happy Valley Optical can repair most glasses on site, usually as customers wait. The eye care business offers a vast selection of contact lens options, including the latest contact lenses for presbyopia. With more than 1,000 eyeglasses, sunglasses and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frames to choose from, Happy Valley Optical has something for everyone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will take all the time needed to help find the best style and fit for each customer,â&#x20AC;? Scott Dutt said. In order to provide the best care to patients and customers, Scott Dutt offers experienced frame adjustments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many of our customers are happy to find out their vision can be improved dramatically after proper realignment of their current frame,â&#x20AC;? he said. Scott Dutt also solders or repairs broken metal frames. Receiving referrals from several surrounding counties for this service, he can also complete hinge repair and certain plastic frame repair. In addition to his optician talents, Scott Dutt said he rarely forgets a name or face and will remember a customer like he or she was family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a nice surprise and a treat for those who may have been in the shop once. I know your preferences and frame style,â&#x20AC;? he said. As the optometrist, Robin M. Dutt does all contact lens instruction herself and provides quality, personal eye exams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is with the patient throughout the experience and
does not rely on technicians during the exam or contact lens fitting,â&#x20AC;? Scott Dutt said. As a family-owned and operated business, Scott Dutt said the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children, Nathaniel, 13, Kaylen, 11, Justin, 8 and Matthew, 3 are being raised in the shop. Dutt said he also considers employees and customers family. According to Scott Dutt, all of the shopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college student employees are on track to apply to optometry school. Currently, more than eight former employees have graduated from optometry school and are now doctors of optometry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a wonderful growing network connected to Happy Valley Optical,â&#x20AC;? he said. As customers are considered family, Scott Dutt said he and his wife treat each and every person with the utmost care and respect. To increase the family-oriented environment in the shop, Happy Valley Optical currently displays artwork from students at Park Forest Middle school. For Arts Fest they will feature jewelry from local artists and art for sale from The Gallery Shop in Lemont. Scott Dutt said he and his wife feel being involved with the community has allowed their business to thrive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We live in College Heights. We support local businesses, youth sports and I volunteer on the borough planning commission,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We offer a fun environment, from great music, local artwork for display and for sale, comfortable couches, and our customers love seeing our four kids grow so fast!â&#x20AC;?

Arts fest expected to draw large crowds By SAMI HULINGS shulings@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — As a nationally recognized festival known for its wide variety and appeal, the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts will once again celebrate visual and performance arts this summer. The 47th Arts Fest is expected to draw more than 125,000 visitors to downtown State College from Wednesday, July 10, through Sunday, July 14. “It succeeded beyond anybody’s wildest dreams,” Arts Fest executive director Rick Bryant said last year. Featuring more than 300 artists and musical performers, Arts Fest kicked off July 10 with Children and Youth Day, an entire day designed especially for children. Young artists aged 8 to 18 showcased their creations on South Allen Street. The day concluded with the Children and Youth Day Grand Procession, sponsored by Penn State Federal Credit Union, with children marching through downtown to Sidney Friedman Park carrying papiermâché puppets, masks and drums. For the rest of the week, festival visitors can take in the Sidewalk Sale and Exhibition, a juried gallery exhibition, specialty food vendors, the Downtown State College Italian
Street Painting Festival and music, dance and theatrical performances in downtown and on the Penn State campus. As one of the most popular events of the weekend, the Sidewalk Sale and Exhibition includes 16 different visual arts categories ranging from basketry to wood. In addition to the Sue Crowe Memorial 38th annual Festival 10K and 5K race held Sunday morning, a 10-mile course has been added this year. All proceeds from the festival races benefit youth running activities in Centre County and the Nittany Valley Running Club. Because of the popularity of buying local, also new to Arts Fest this year will be Artisanal Food Area: Take Home A

Taste Of Pennsylvania. Six Pennsylvania artisanal food producers will sell their products outside of the State College Municipal Building. Five authors will be at the fourth annual BookFestPA tent on Saturday, July 13, in the Schlow Centre Region Library parking lot. Featured authors include Anni Matsick, Becky Aiken, Charles Todd, Andrew Blum and Jodi Moore. Matsick, a children’s book illustrator, will speak at 11 a.m. in the Downborough Community Room in Schlow Library. Aiken, author of “Saturday Night Widows: The Story of Six Friends Remaking Their Lives” will speak at the ballroom of the Days Inn Penn State at noon. Todd, author of “Proof of Guilt”, will speak in the ballroom of the Days Inn Penn State at 1 p.m., followed by Blum, author of “Tubes, A Journey to the Center of the Internet,” at 2 p.m. Moore, author of “Good News Nelson,” will speak at the Downsborough Community Room located in Schlow Library. Each author will be available to sign books at the BookFest tent after speaking. Throughout the weekend, visitors can also take in a wide variety of free indoor and outdoor performances. Concerts will include folk, rock, jazz and Dixieland. Dance performances and theatre shows will also be featured throughout the weekend. Some performances require the purchase of a 2013 Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts button. Buttons may be purchased at various area locations, Information and Sales Booths and at button performance sites at the festival. For more information about Arts Fest, visit www.artsfestival.com.
The art of preparation Every year the residents of the central Pennsylvania area and beyond wait with eager anticipation for Arts Fest. What about the artists who must gather their chosen pieces — wood, painting, clay, ceramics, fabric or other — and pack them to travel to State College? When do they begin to plan for the festival? To answer those questions I approached a few of the artists planning to show at Arts Fest by phone and email. One of the first to respond was Michael Mikula from Cleveland, Ohio, whose medium is glass. “Applications for shows are always on an art fair exhibitor’s mind. The best shows are juried and very competitive to win a spot in — including Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Connie Cousins Arts (CPFA),” he said. “It’s a bit of a covers Centre chess match, trying to calculate timCounty for the ing, moves and number of shows, Centre County sometimes as long as a year in adGazette. Email her vance.” at correspondent@ centrecountgazette. Mikula said that he received the top com award at last year’s festival and along with prize money came an invitation to return for 2013. “I gladly accepted,” he said. “It’s one of the top shows nationwide and I have a list of loyal patrons in the region, including John and Sue Heister of State College, who have hosted me for several years now. I think 1995 was my first year in the festival and I’ve been back seven or eight times since then.” When it comes to preparation, Mikula was happy to explain. “Preparations for a large show like CPFA begin months in advance, building an inventory of works and prepping display fixtures. Ultimately I bring whatever pieces are finished when it’s time to load up the van and I strive to have fresh designs every year. That typically includes a mix of one-of-a-kind sculptures from my ‘Architectural Blown Glass’ series and a selection of related blown glass vessels.

“He has been busy making rings for the last few weeks so he has a good representation of his line which can be seen on wesandgold.com. He has over 900 designs of rings, primarily in titanium,” said Bailey. Bailey started making jewelry in adult education classes at Penn State and had her own jewelry business for 12 years. She worked in Rare Books for almost 35 years at PSU and retired in 2006. She is the contact person with customers through emails these days, and is the computer guru in the day-to-day day running of the business. So as you stroll along the corridors of vendors this week, remember that long hours of work and planning went into their displays, and stop and say “hello” to the artists. Most artists said they are happy to explain their work and answer questions.

It’s important to have a variety to satisfy a diverse audience typical in State College.” Mikula also provided a few tips for the visitors at Arts Fest. He said that before visiting, you should make note of the colors in your home and have some measurements for those bare walls or niches that are crying out for art. “Pictures on your smartphone are helpful also,” he said. He reminded patrons to bring cash and checkbooks, as some vendors do not accept plastic. Another artist who responded via email was Christine Bailey. Her husband is Wes Glebe, of State College, whose medium is jewelry. “Wes participated in the CPFA in 1968 (the second one) when he was a student at Penn State. In the years since, he has been an advisor to the Board and on various committees. Prior to again becoming a sidewalk artist in 2006, he and his wife were ‘art cops’ i.e. checking that the slides an artist sent in gave a good representation of the art work for the showing,” Bailey explained. Bailey also said that Wes was awarded the John C. Mason Award for Jewelry at last year’s festival, so he was automatically invited to this year’s festival.

BOALSBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Set on the grounds of the Pennsylvania Military Museum in Boalsburg, the 21st annual Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice Festival of Pennsylvania Arts & Crafts will celebrate the creativity and workmanship of artisans living in Pennsylvania from Thursday, July 11, to Sunday, July 14. The art 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 Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice. Since its inception, the festival has grown greatly, as more than 180 artists are now featured in the art celebration.
According to the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, it is estimated that more than 100,000 people visited the 2012 festival. Similar numbers are expected for this year. This continued growth has allowed for more than 150 performances, food vendor booths and a specialty food booth to be featured at Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice. Featuring 12 local businesses this year, the specialty food tent will include 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. Performances will occur throughout the weekend and will range from the Tussey Mountain Moonshiners to My Hero Zero to The Magical Illusions of Kyle and Kelly.

Fantastic Five Lady Raider soccer players ready to take their game to the next level By MARY ELDER For The Gazette
BELLEFONTE — Brooke Redfern, Devin Kos, Emily Martell, Kristin Dobransky and Kristin Buchanan, all recent graduates of Bellefonte Area High School, have been given the opportunity to play soccer at the collegiate level. Each will be representing a different college or university. Redfern’s soccer career will continue her freshman year while she plays for the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford. “I’m not really sure what made me start soccer. When I was five, soccer looked fun, which would make me want to play, so I did,” said Redfern. “It hasn’t always been my main goal. At one point I thought I would never want to play in college.” Redfern did not only play high school soccer, but played on as many teams as possible to improve herself. “I have put years into soccer. I have played on multiple teams and made soccer a top priority,” said Redfern. “I think my goals for college are the same as they have always been. I want to play well, not let my team down, and win. Another goal this up coming year is to be the starting goal keeper, which will take a lot of work.” Kos will continue her career at Juniata College. Kos always kept soccer in her plans for the future, but also concerned herself with being wellrounded in other walks of life. “In middle school, I thought I would play professionally. As a freshman in high school I thought I would play at a Division I college. As the years went on, and I grew interested in other things such as my academics and career after school, I realized that I wanted to play soccer, but also wanted to be involved in other things in college,” said Kos. “Competing at a Division I or even Division II level, I felt, was not what I wanted to put all of my effort in while I tried to focus on excelling in my academics in college. So to answer your question no, it has not always been my goal to play college soccer, my
goals have changed. The one thing that has stayed constant all throughout my life though, is my love for soccer.” Despite Kos’s extracurricular activities, she still kept soccer as one of her top priorities, which allowed her to plan for her college career. “I have put countless hours into my soccer career. If I were to legitimately count how much time I have spent playing soccer, or watching soccer, or talking about soccer, it would probably almost add up to all the years that I’ve played, from the first time I touched a soccer ball ’til now,” said Kos. “My goal for playing college soccer, and my goal for whenever I am playing soccer is to always learn something new. Whether I am learning a new playing technique or fitness technique, I try to take something home each time and work on it.” Martell will be playing for Allegheny College this fall. Soccer has been a driving force in Martell’s life for many years. As she grew as a person, her love for soccer evolved as well. “When I was younger, I always wanted to be a Lady Lion and be the next Mia Hamm. However, I’m pretty satisfied where I’m at now, going to a great school with a competitive soccer program,” Martell said. Although Martell is satisfied with her current accomplishments, she still has plenty of goals for the future. “I hope to get an All-American when I’m in college, but besides that, I just hope to compete and play as much as possible and be the best I can possibly be,” she said. Dobransky will continue her soccer career at Pennsylvania State’s Altoona Campus. Playing soccer in college was always a dream for Dobransky, but that dream because a reality due to her ambition during on and off seasons. “A few of my high school teammates and I never really stopped playing,” said Dobransky. “We played year round. We did spring travel teams, summer camps, fall season, winter indoor

Pictured, from left, are Emily Martell, Devin Kos, Kristin Dobransky, Kristin Buchanan and Brooke Redfern. leagues and other random travel teams.” Dobransky goals and aspirations regarding her collegiate level soccer career had to evolve due to an injury. “I was going to be considered as a starting defender but with my ACL injury I will not be able to play until the spring,” said Dobransky. Despite the setback, Dobransky’s goals have not changed for the future. “I would just like to improve my game and have fun. Division III is not as serious as D-I sports so I’d like to simply stay fit, meet other athletes, and enjoy the game,” she said. “I think it will be so much fun to play against a few of my former teammates. I will play against Emily, Brooke, and Devin’s teams.” Buchanan will continue her soccer career at Indiana Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania. Buchanan will be redshirted her freshman year due to a full roster and 10 seniors that will be on the team. Much like the other girls, soccer has always been a focal point in Buchanan’s life. “I always just assumed that I would continue playing soccer for as long as I can because it’s really so different than everything else that I like to do. It’s different in a way that makes it so much better and more enjoyable. Plus, soccer players have great personalities. It will be a great way to make new friends in college,” said Buchanan. “I’ve been playing soccer for over ten years now. I started out playing in the spring and the fall like most players do, but when I was 11 I joined a club team and soccer became a year round thing for me. We had Bellefonte soccer in the fall, club trainings in
the winter and spring, club games in the spring and tournaments over the summer. And then there’s all the time when I just went outside and a couple of us would kick a ball around. I’ve probably spent more time playing soccer than sitting in classes in school.” While Buchanan challenged herself on every team she was on during high school, college will be no different for her. “I hope to be able to play my game and do well to help win games. I hope to be able to send good balls into the box and score lots of goals,” Buchanan said. “It will be a lot different than Bellefonte soccer where all that was easy. I’m not really sure what to expect yet so I just hope that I will be able to be an exceptional player and have a really great time.”
O’Brien lands 13th committment for 2014 season By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Things never seem to slow down for Penn State football coach Bill O’Brien and his staff. On July 1, the Nittany Lions picked up their 13th commitment for the class of 2014, and it is a big one — literally. Antoine White, a 6-foot-3, 270-pound defensive tackle from Millville, N.J., is the biggest player so far in this recruiting class and the only defensive tackle. White is considered to be a three-star recruit and is ranked among the top players in the state. He is also the only recruit so far from New Jersey. With White’s commitment, Penn State now has 13 players in the 2014 class and has room for only two more commits because of the 15 scholarship limit imposed by the NCAA sanctions. None of these players is bound to Penn State until they sign in February, of course, but here is the list of the players who have thus far committed to O’Brien’s program: Marcus Allen — Safety, 6-1, 180, Upper Marlboro, Md. Mark Allen — Running back, 5-7, 185, Hyattsville, Md. Troy Apke — Wide receiver, 6-1, 187, Pittsburgh Noah Bey — Offensive tackle, 6-6, 260, Scranton Chris Goodwin — Wide receiver, 6-1, 193, Middletown, Del. Michael O’Connor — Quarterback, 6-4, 223, Bradenton, Fla. Troy Reeder — Linebacker, 6-3, 230, Wilmington, Del.
Nick Scott — Athlete, 5-11, 188, Fairfax, Va. DeAndre Thompkins — Wide receiver, 6-0, 170, Swansboro, N.C. Troy Vincent — Cornerback, 5-10, 192, Baltimore, Md. Jared Wangler — Safety, 6-1. 218. Warren, Mich. Antoine White — Defensive tackle, 6-3, 270, Millville, N.J. Daquan Worley — Cornerback, 5-11, 170, Coatesville With only 15 scholarships to offer, the Lions have to be selective with their offers, and adding at least one more offensive or defensive lineman is a strong possibility. Besides, any class that has Marcus Allen and Troy Vincent in it has to be successful.
IRELAND It hasn’t been made official yet, but the word is out that Penn State will travel to Dublin, Ireland in 2014 and play its opening game against Central Florida at Dublin’s 82,000 seat Croke Park. According to the Orlando Sentinel, the official announcement will be made on Sunday. Since the sanctions were levied on Penn State that included a four-year bowl ban, coach O’Brien and the administration have been looking for a bowl-type experience for the players. The idea of playing in Ireland has been floating around for quite a while, and now it seems that it will actually happen. In its history, Dublin has survived many invasions, including the Vikings and the Normans, and I’m sure it will
easily handle the hoard of Penn State fans that will descend on the city.
WATCH LISTS Three Penn State players have been added to watch lists for the coming season. Sophomore tight end Kyle Carter has been added to the list for the John Mackey Award, which is given to the nation’s top tight end. Junior running back Zach Zwinak was added to the list for the Maxwell Award, which is given to the country’s best player. And sophomore defensive end Deion Barnes was added to the Bednarik award list. The Bednarik Award is given to the top defensive player and is sponsored by the Maxwell Club.
COACH OF THE YEAR Bill O’Brien picked up another award when he was named the Big Ten’s Dave McClain Coach of the Year (media) and Hayes-Schembechler Coach of the Year (coaches) on June 25. Previously, O’Brien was named Bear Bryant Coach of the Year, the Maxwell Football Club Coach of the Year, and ESPN Coach of the Year. He also was a finalist for the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year and the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year by the Football Writers Association of America. That’s almost a sweep of college coaching honors for a remarkable season by a team that surprised almost everyone with its grit and tenacity.

Tri-County forces deciding game with State College By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — State College National’s march through the District 5 Little League Tournament was brought to a standstill on Monday evening by Tri County and its ace pitcher Parker Mitchell. Mitchell, an imposing right-hander with a lively fastball, pitched four shutout innings while his teammates hit two home runs in building a five-run lead, and then two relievers held off the Nationals for a 52 victory in the championship round of the tournament. Both teams now have one loss, and they will meet again in a winner-take-all matchup with a trip to the regional tournament in Johnstown on the line. Mitchell also helped his team with the bat, swatting two hits and igniting a threerun, fourth-inning rally with a leadoff double. Ethan Moore followed in the fifth inning with a two-run homer that was enough to complete Tri County’s trip out of the loser’s bracket and to gain its fifth win of the tournament. “We’re excited,” Tri County coach Chip Lehman said. “I would say that this was our best overall game of the tournament, and Parker (Mitchell) was outstanding. He’s our ace, and he shut them down today.” State College did have its chances in the game. The Nationals had base runners in every inning, and they touched Mitchell for five hits and totaled eight for the night. An RBI single by Jason Thomas and a fielder’s choice RBI by Kevin Karstetter, both in the fifth inning, accounted for their runs, but they also committed an uncharacteristic three errors and left 12 men on base. They loaded the bases twice, in the third
and fourth, but they were unable to come up with the big hit. “Hats off to them,” State College coach Jeff Shoemaker said. “Whenever we made mistakes, they seemed to jump all over it. They hit some really good pitches, and again my hats off to them. They hit the ball really well today.” Mitchell and State College starter Jaret Beyer locked into a pitcher’s duel through the first three innings. In the top of the third, Tri County put two runners on, but Beyer got two groundouts to escape without a run. In the bottom of that inning, a hit by David Shoemaker, a walk to Neal Singer, and another single by Trenton Decker loaded the bases for SC with two outs. Mitchell bore down, however, and struck out pinch-hitter Jason Thomas to end the threat. Tri County finally broke through in the fourth. Mitchell led off with a double, and he scored the game’s first run on Blake Roberts’ RBI single. First baseman Ethan Moore then followed with a long home run over the center field wall that put SC down 3-0. State College again loaded the bases in its half of the inning with two outs, but Mitchell again came through with a strikeout to end the inning with no damage. “I was just trying to throw strikes,” Mitchell said, “and I was just trying to get out of those innings.” Tri County added two more in the fifth on a two-run homer by Brenden Franks, but even down now by five, State College’s hopes were buoyed in the bottom of the inning. With Mitchell off the mound because he reached his pitch limit, the Nationals broke through against Franks, who relieved Mitchell to start the fifth. Beyer led off with

a double, and then Decker walked to put two men on with no outs. Thomas followed with a hard shot that bounced off the ankle of Franks and into right field, scoring Beyer. Franks was injured and had to leave the game, and he was relieved by Moore. Karstetter greeted Moore with an RBI ground out, but Moore was able to get the final two outs to preserve a three-run Tri County lead. “We just didn’t get those hits tonight,” Jeff Shoemaker said, “and I’m sure the guys will see that as motivation and come back and have a great game tomorrow.”
In the seventh, State College threatened again, bringing the tying run to the plate with no outs. Moore was up to it, however, and he got the final three outs on two strike outs and a fly ball to center field. “We’ll approach tomorrow the same as any other game,” Jeff Shoemaker said. “We were in the same position last year in sectionals when a very good Hershey team beat us, and we were able to come back and rally and play a very good game the next day. “So our kids know what it takes, but Tri County is a great team, so we will have to bring our A game.”

Golfing fundraiser aids Hartswick On Sunday, June 9, the Skytop Mountain Golf Club sponsored an outing with all proceeds to benefit U.S. Army Sgt. Adam Hartswick who was severely wounded in Afghanistan. Hartswick, a native of Pine Grove Mills and a former State College High School graduate, was unable to attend the golf tournament but his grandmother Martha Hummel was at the event. Rich Brennan, director of golf operations at Skytop relates that the outing proceeds fell a bit short of $5,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just this past week, the club received yet another donation from John Dixon covers the Ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Auxiliary of golf for The Centre the Bellefonte VFW County Gazette. and a personal check Email him at from a family that sports@centre countygazette.com. boosted the total just a couple of dollars over the $5,000 mark,â&#x20AC;? Brennan said. A number of Penn State football players volunteered their afternoon and added a bit of excitement to the event, according to Brennan. Defensive lineman Anthony Zettel recorded a hole-in-one on No. 16, a 190-yard downhill shot, while golfing with a local father and son, Allen and Mitch Boal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had several on-course prizes including closest to the pin prize on No. 16, which was game tickets, compliments of the State College Spikes,â&#x20AC;? added Brennan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;NCAA rules prohibit student athletes from accepting contest awards so Anthony was kind enough to pass the tickets to his golfing partners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Casey Wimmer landed his ball directly on the line marker to take the straightest drive, winning an air tour of Centre Coun-

Track and field clinic set From Gazette staff reports BELLEFONTE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The coaches of the Bellefonte varsity track and field team will be conducting its first-ever clinic from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on July 18 at Rogers Stadium in Bellefonte. The clinic is for any Bellefonte student-athlete entering grades seven through 12 this fall and is free of charge. The primary focus will be the throwing events, sprints and hurdles, and will focus on the technique of each of these events. The goal of the clinic is to introduce some younger student-athletes to an event they may not have been exposed to and it gives some of the older student-athletes an opportunity to fine tune their skills during the offseason. The clinic will be very informal and will include the following events â&#x20AC;&#x201D; javelin, discus, shotput, hurdles and sprints. For more information, email coach Seth Miller at smille5@firstenergycorp.com.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Student produces play to benefit HOPE Fund By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
SPRING MILLS — As his senior project, Penns Valley Area High School student Mitchell Shuey is producing and directing a theatrical performance, which is an abridged (by Harold G. Sliker) adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s play, “The Importance of Being Earnest.” The play will be presented on July 12 at the Old Gregg School Community and Recreation Center in Spring Mills. Admission to the performance is $5 per person, and curtain time is 7 p.m. All proceeds from the play will benefit the Penns Valley HOPE Fund. Refreshments will be available. The cast of this production is composed of Penns Valley Area High School students with past experience in advanced drama class plays and school musicals.
Shuey chose this particular play because of its humor, and a relatively small cast. “Oscar Wilde is known for his good, smart wit,” said Shuey. “Plenty of puns, wordplays and satire.” “The Importance of Being Earnest,” subtitled “A Trivial Comedy for Serious People,” was first performed on Feb. 14, 1895, at the St. James Theater in London. It is a farcical comedy in which the protagonists maintain fictitious personas in order to escape burdensome social obligations. Working within the social conventions of late Victorian-era London, the play’s major themes are the triviality with which it treats institutions as serious as marriage and the resulting satire of Victorian ways. Reviews of its premiere all praised the play’s humor, though some were cautious about its ex-

plicit lack of social messages, while others considered it the culmination of Wilde’s artistic career to that point in time. Its high farce and witty dialogue have helped make “The Importance of Being Earnest” Wilde’s most enduringly popular play. Jack Worthing, the play’s protagonist, is a pillar of the community in Hertfordshire, where he is guardian to Cecily Cardew, the 18-year-old granddaughter of the late Thomas Cardew, who found and adopted Jack when he was a baby. In Hertfordshire, Jack has responsibilities: He is a major landowner and justice of the peace, with tenants, farmers, and a number of servants and other employees all dependent on him. For years, he has also pretended to have an irresponsible blacksheep brother named Ernest who leads a scandalous life in pursuit of pleasure and is always getting into trouble of a sort that requires Jack to rush grimly off to his assistance. In fact, Ernest is merely Jack’s alibi, a phantom that allows him to disappear for days at a time and do as he likes. No one but Jack knows that he, himself, is Ernest. Ernest is the name Jack goes by in London, which is

As the play progresses, Worthing’s charade begins to unrav-
el, and in the process, several other characters are found to be engaged in similar subterfuges. Their interaction leads to much comedic fun and intrigue which has delighted audiences for more than a century.

LAST YEAR’S BookFestPA drew book lovers from all across Centre County to Schlow Library to meet with local authors and publishers.
BookFestPA set to be a page-turner By ALLISON GIANNOTTI correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — The Schlow Centre Region Library will hold its fourth annual BookFestPA from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on July 13 at the Schlow Library. The festival will feature readings with talented authors, talks by bestselling writers and an array of bookrelated activities. BookFestPA will commence with a drawing demonstration by children’s book illustrator, Anni Matsick. Following the demonstration, a series of notable authors will provide a rich insight into other worlds and take questions from curious book enthusiasts. “(The authors) often talk about the subject matter of their books, tell stories about their writing experiences and discuss how they came up with the book’s idea,” said BookFestPA coordinator Kristina Yezdimer.
This year’s lineup includes Charles Todd, author of the mysterious “Proof of Guilt,” Becky Aikman, author of the uplifting “Saturday Night Widows: The Story of Six Friends Remaking Their Lives,” Andrew Blum, author of the investigative “Tubes: A Journey to the Center of the Internet,” and Jodi Moore, author of the children’s book “Good News, Nelson.”
IF YOU GO What: Fourth annual BookFestPA When: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., July 13 Where: Schlow Public Library Cost: Free Matsick and Moore will present in Schlow Library’s Downsborough Community Room, while Todd, Aikman and Blum will speak in the Days Inn Penn State ballroom.
After each talk and demonstration, the speakers will be at the BookFest tent, in the Schlow Library parking lot, to autograph books or discuss writing. Throughout the day, the BookFest tent will host local authors, including Gale Martin, J. Kelly Poorman, John Carr, Jeffrey Frazier, Alice Breon and Sylvia Apple, as well as Penn State Press with a sampling of their distinguished writers. By celebrating the written word, featuring prominent authors and offering a chance for audiences to interact with writers, BookFestPA promises to be a novel event. “There’s a lot of great things,” Yezdimer said. “The interactions with the crowd are great, the talks are always interesting and it’s really exciting to meet your favorite authors.” For more information and for a complete schedule of events, visit www.bookfestpa.org.
STATE COLLEGE — Once again, the abundance of artistic talent in the State College area is apparent in the enthusiastic response to Schlow Centre Region Library’s 4th Annual Juried Exhibition, which is being held through July 30. A total of 68 artists from a 25-mile radius of State College, including Centre Hall, Bellefonte and Warriors Mark, submitted work in an array of media, from fiber, sculpture, and collage to drawing, painting and photography. ”The great response is a testament to all the wonderful talent in our region, and to the terrific appeal of Schlow’s annual juried exhibition,” said library director Cathi Alloway. The Gallery Selection Committee acknowledged the difficulty of choosing the 45 exhibition pieces from the richly diverse offerings. ”It is always a thrill to see so much excellent work, and very challenging to choose,” said Maria Burchill, gallery coordinator. As in previous years, the 2013 show is bound to be a hit with the hundreds of people who visit Schlow daily, as well as a special treat for out-of-town visitors during Arts Fest week. This year’s juror, Patricia Howard, is a fine arts photographer and assistant professor of art at Juniata College in Huntingdon, teaching digital art and photography. She holds a bachelor’s degree at the University of Delaware, a MFA at Penn State, and has studied at Anderson Ranch Arts Center as well as the International Center for Photography in New York. She has exhibited her work locally at Penn State, Zola New World Bistro, and the Art Alliance of Central Pennsylvania and will have a solo exhibition at the Juniata College Museum of Art in November. The juried exhibition is free and open to the public.

ART OF PENNS VALLEY is displayed on the wall at the Green Drake Gallery.
BELLEFONTE — A series of 10 high dynamic range photographs from Cerro are on display at Cool Beans, 141 W. High St. in Bellefonte. They will be there until the first week of August. The photographs were taken in March 2012 by R Thomas Berner, a professor emeritus of journalism and American studies who lives in Benner Township. High dynamic range photography involves multiple exposures at different settings, which enables one to capture a range of detail, according to Berner. He said he learned the technique at a workshop in Santa Fe, N.M., from someone who had used it in creating a book about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Berner got permission to photograph inside two of Cerro’s buildings just as the complex was being converted to the Titan Energy Park. Berner and his wife, Paulette, recently

Berner is working on a long-term project he’s calling Pennsylvania Barn Stories.
Millheim gallery hosts show B.B. King to appear in concert By SAM STITZER
pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
MILLHEIM — The Green Drake Gallery and Arts Center in Millheim is hosting an art show entitled “Penns Valley -Through the Artists’ Eyes” from July 3 through Sept. 1. The show features the best of the Plein Air Paint-Out, held a few weeks ago as part of the Millheim Mayfly Festival, plus other art capturing the landscapes and flavor of the Penns Valley area as rendered by many artists. An opening reception was held for the show on July 5 at the gallery. Artwork on display included many rural scenes of Penns Valley done in several artistic media including oil paint, watercolors and pastels. Paintings of sights familiar to Penns Valley residents included the Millheim American Legion building, the old Coburn railroad tunnel, the Elk Creek Café, scenes along Penns Creek and an Amish farm on
Bower Hollow Road. Another major attraction at the reception was live music by Monica Brindle, Jeremy Tosten and Walt Whitmer. They performed a wide variety of original songs in a folksy blues style with guitar and mandolin accompaniment, delighting the crowd of about 75 people. Brindle struck a responsive chord with her song titled “Day Job Blues,” which laments the plight of folks who have to work an often boring and unfulfilling “day job” to pay the bills, leaving little time to pursue the interests they truly love. The audience gave enthusiastic applause to this number. Green Drake Gallery owner and artist/musician Karl Leitzel was pleased at the large turnout for the reception. “The music was a great attraction,” said Leitzel. “People got to hear musicians they’ve never heard or seen before.” Leitzel accompanied the musicians on harmonica and saxophone on several songs.
From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — There has been only one “King of the Blues” — Riley B. King, affectionately known as B.B. King. The blues legend will appear live in concert at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 13 at the Bryce Jordan Center. Since King started recording in the late 1940s, he has released more than 60 albums. Many of them are considered blues classics, such as 1965’s definitive live blues album “Live At The Regal,” and 1976’s collaboration with Bobby “Blue” Bland, “Together For The First Time.” Over the years, King has developed one of the world’s most readily identified guitar styles. He borrowed from Lonnie Johnson, Blind Lemon Jefferson, T-Bone Walker, and others, integrating his precise vocal-like string bends and his left-hand vibrato, both of which have become indispensable components of rock guitarist’s vocabulary.

Bookends will perform reunion concerts From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — Bookends are back. Bookends was a large part of the 1980s music scene in State College. Chris Mincer, Bet Williams and Susie Kocher crafted a sweet acoustic folk sound that was just the right counterpoint to the big hair, glitz and glamour of the “Dallas” and disco years. Their warm stage presence and mixed repertoire of original tunes and covers made them one of the most memorable bands of that era. Fans will remember their covers of songs by Manhattan Transfer, the Grateful Dead, Fleetwood Mac, Simon and Garfunkel and others. The trio also performed some bluegrass tunes as well as a version of the Hallelujah Chorus. In the 1980s and the early 90s it would have been difficult to walk through the town of State College without seeing a poster for a Bookends show or hearing their voices drift out of the Brickhouse Tavern, The Ratskeller, The Phyrst or Café 210 West. The trio met late one night at a jam session in the study lounge of McElwain Hall while they were freshmen at Penn State. Their love for acoustic music and harmony became quickly apparent and they formed “Bookends” (named after the Simon and Garfunkel song). While they covered many popular songs from the 60s and 90s, they also performed their own songs. After graduation, the three bought a van and headed out west playing concerts along the way and camping in Yellowstone Park and hanging out at the famous “Rainbow Festival.” By the time they reached California the group decided to split up. Williams and Kocher stayed in Los Angele, singing in different bands. Nothing stuck and they eventually headed back east. Since that time, the three have stayed in contact and remained friends, but lead very different lives. Williams is a singer/songwriter currently living in Berlin, Germany, with her husband, composer John Hodian, and their son. Her Bet Williams Band and ensemble Epiphany Project tour constantly in Europe. Mincer teaches Alexander technique and guitar in Lemont and nurtures a deep practice of Zen Buddhism.

20s In your 20s, you’re usually just starting off in your first job and struggling to make ends meet; beginning to build a financial portfolio is probably not at the top of your to-do list. However, this can be a critical time as it can set your financial foundation for the rest of your life. A top priority should be building an emergency savings account to help you get through an unexpected loss of a job or a large and unexpected financial obligation. This should be separate from your normal savings and should only be drawn from
under extraordinary circumstances. Also consider looking into disability income insurance to make sure your income and savings are both protected if you were ever unable to work due to a long-term illness or injury. Disability income insurance will serve you well throughout your career but the sooner you purchase, the better protected you’ll be. Additionally, this can be a time to begin thinking about starting an investment portfolio, if you have the means, as the longer you’re invested the greater potential for long-term growth. Work with a financial professional to ensure your investments align with your appropriate level of risk for your specific situation.
30s Your 30s are the prime time to continue building a solid financial future. Hopefully you’re comfortable in your career, perhaps have gotten married and may even have begun building a family. This is when your financial options start to open up and you may want to start thinking about life insurance to offer protection for your family’s future against an unexpected death and loss of income. Term insurance for yourself and coverage for your children are usually affordable, easy to procure and can offer additional financial protection for you and your family. This is also when you should be getting serious about your savings plans. Retirement savings should be at the top of your mind as you’ve started to make more money in your 30s and are becoming more comfortable navigating your bills and expenses. IRAs, 401(k)s, annuities and other re-

your savings from the high costs of extended care? Whether you’re looking to purchase long-term care insurance or not, this is also a time when you should discuss your extended care plans with loved ones, and how that might affect everyone involved.
40s In your 40s, many people have teenage children, tackle new challenges and opportunities in their professional lives and have established a level of income they can rely on comfortably. You can start to work with your child to investigate the various options (savings, aid, loans, grants, etc.) to help pay for postsecondary education. This also might be a time to start considering additional life insurance, as your assets and need for protection have grown as you’ve prospered both personally and professionally. Since you’re probably about halfway through your career, you should also start to keep an eye on the retirement horizon and on your overall retirement strategy. Make sure it aligns with your goals and dreams for after your career ends.
60s In your 60s, your retirement has probably arrived or is right around the corner. This is where managing assets, investments and financial strategies are critical. Even at this stage of life it is important for you to have some of your financial assets in an investment portfolio carefully managed for growth consistent with your risk profile. Meeting regularly with your financial representative at this life stage will help you stay on track with your financial goals. This is also a time to consider leaving a legacy through a life insurance policy that designates your children or a favorite charity as a beneficiary. The death benefit from life insurance can ensure that your spirit of generosity lives on and the causes you care about will be supported in the future. Another option for securing your future is Medicare supplement insurance, which will help with medical bills not covered by Medicare. This protection can help safeguard your retirement assets from additional costly medical bills. No financial journey is the same. We all have different needs and goals at different stages of our lives. However, with a solid financial program in place along with the support of a financial professional, you can be prepared to make a lifetime of wise financial choices.
50s Your 50s are an exciting time in your financial life. Your children have probably left the nest and retirement is just around the corner. You should think about establishing a floor of guaranteed income, possibly by purchasing an annuity or insurance product, to meet your essential expenses that will continue into your retirement. This is the time to start considering how you want to live in retirement and beyond. What level of income would you like after you retire and how will you maintain your standard of living?
