SOMETHING’S COOKIN’

CENTRE COUNTY SPOTLIGHT

University archivist captures, maintains Penn State’s history By JOHN PATISHNOCK correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — While summer is somewhat of a slow time for Penn State’s University Park campus, the same can’t be said for Jackie Esposito, the university archivist who oversees the operation, storage and maintenance of hundreds of thousands of pieces of Penn State memorabilia. From accepting new collections to ensuring the safe storage of the collections amid construction, there’s always something that needs the attention of Esposito, known for her gregarious personality and entertaining historical presentations. Centre County Gazette: In your role as university archivist, what are your main job responsibilities, and what are your main objectives and concerns? Jackie Esposito: I’m in charge of documenting Penn State’s history, going back to 1855, making sure that we have the records that we’ll need 100 or 200 years from now, making sure that the records going back JACKIE ESPOSITO to 1855 are preserved and then the materials that people need to use are available when they need them. CCG: So you’re basically discovering, uncovering and sharing Penn State’s history? JE: That’s an excellent description, yes. CCG: How exciting is that, and how often are you learning something new about Penn State? JE: I think it’s extraordinarily exciting, and I learn new things pretty much every day. … Either there’s something new that happened, or I come across somebody or something that didn’t cross my radar and I find out about them, or it’s something little. (Recently), the library hosted new students and parents, and we had 138 parents, and I pointed out to them that there were more parents in the Paterno Reading Room than there were original students. The class of 1859 only had 119 students, so we had more parents in that room than we had original students, so making those kinds of comparisons, when did things happen, how did they happen, is this something that is repetitive at Penn State or is this something brand new that’s never happened before. CCG: Does the summer signify a downtime for the Penn State Libraries, or is there still plenty to do? JE: In the summer, because there are fewer students on campus, it’s actually our busiest time for university records transfers. We will work with university offices to look at what their oldest records are and transfer them to the archives during the summer, and that’s our busy time. We get a lot of our collections during the summer. CCG: With all the construction that’s taking place on campus and in the libraries recently, how does that impact how you store and maintain the various collections the libraries house? JE: You want to protect items from dust, so they’re either going to get moved or covered during construction. We also want to make sure that there’s no environmental damages to materials, and generally we look at what rooms are going to be effected by the construction, what needs to be moved and what can just be covered. Some things can just be covered, but if a particular document or an item could be in danger, we would move it. For example, the Fred Waring’s America collection has suit jackets, those have to be covered, and those have to be put into garment bags. CCG: How much has Penn State grown since its inception and over the last few decades, and has any of this growth surprised you?

Arts Fest brings thousands to area By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

TIM WEIGHT/For the Gazette

BIG DRAW: The Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts drew thousands of people to Happy Valley.

STATE COLLEGE — Another Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts is in the books. Tens of thousands of people frequented downtown State College and University Park last Wednesday through Sunday to enjoy the various events that take place each year, including the sidewalk sale and exhibition, entertainment and children’s activities. Nicole Harris, a Penn State alumna, said she and her family traveled to the festival this year from Washington, D.C. They’ve been attending the festival on and off for about six years. “We really enjoy the children’s activities and live entertainment,” she said. Dana Praskovich, of State College, said she’s attended the festival since she was a young girl. She returns every year, and it’s more special now that she can bring her children. “We love all the music, both at the shell and Arts Fest, Page 5

People’s Choice a success once again By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

BOALSBURG — The annual People’s Choice Festival of Pennsylvania Arts and Crafts was a big hit this year. The festival — now in its 22nd year — featured plenty of familiar faces along with several new ones. The weather was just about perfect all weekend long, although a fierce thunderstorm ripped through on Sunday afternoon as the festival was wrapping up. Saturday is typically one of the busiest days of the festival, and that was the case again this year. Daphne Krepps Marthouse, an artist from Belleville, has been to the festival every year since it began. “I’m one of the originals,” said Marthouse, People’s Choice, Page 4

STATE COLLEGE — State College police responded to 235 calls during Arts Fest weekend, representing a 37 percent increase over the 171 calls responded to during the 2013 Arts Fest, according to information provided by the State College Police Department. Many incidents over the weekend were alcohol-related, including 30 violations involving minors. This number doubled from last year, when only 15 minors were cited for alcohol violations. Last year’s 10 cases of public drunkenness also increased to 14. While only 12 people required medical assistance for reasons related to alcohol last year, the number more than doubled to 25 this year. Despite these alcohol-related increases, the total number of DUIs dropped from six to two. Many minor violations — including citations for criminal mischief, trespassing and public urination — have also seen decreases since last year. The Centre County Alcohol Task Force, which includes authorities from State College Borough and Ferguson and Patton townships, also made five arrests for suspi-

cion of drunken driving over the weekend. Authorities issued four traffic violation citations, including one instance of driving with a suspended license. Though police responded to more calls than last year, State College Police Lt. Chris Fishel says “without breaking down that number it can be misleading.” He says the total of 235 calls not only includes incidents to when police responded to an outside call, but also those where police initiated contact to intervene in a situation. He says this may be a sign of more “proactive” police work. One incident over the weekend resulted in felony charges, in which two New Jersey men were charged with aggravated assault after an alleged beating required the victim to be hospitalized with facial injuries. Four felonies were filed during last year’s Arts Fest. Fishel said that, in his experience, Arts Fest during past years has been comparable to a Penn State football weekend early in the season, during which there are typically a fairly large number of incidents. Recent Arts Fest weekends now more closely resemble football weekends later in the season, representing an overall downward trend.

Council questions recent federal government raids By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — Two borough council members raised concerns Monday night about the lack of information available regarding a federal operation involving several State College restaurants. The Homeland Security Investigations unit with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency conducted an enforcement operation in State College on June 12, targeting a number of restaurants. Throughout the operation, which lasted several hours, authorities led several people in handcuffs into the State College Police Department. What happened to those individuals one month ago is still unclear. Authorities have said if any charges are filed, the information will be public record. However, without advance notice of the charges being filed, along with the identity of those charged, it would be challenging for the news media or members of the public to locate the information. Council member Evan Myers raised concerns about the lack of information at the start of council’s public meeting Monday night. “As citizen of this country I think we have an obligation to at least know what happened to those folks,” Myers said. Council member Peter Morris agreed with Myers saying he has many questions about what happened June 12.

“There’s a lot of things about that that I would like to know,” Morris said. “There’s said to be several million illegal immigrants in America. Why did they come to State College to look for them? ... I would also really like to know what happened to those people and I’m pessimistic that we ever will.” Borough manager Tom Fountaine noted the federal government, not the State College Police Department, led the operation. State College police did assist with the effort, however, ICE instructed local officials to refer all inquiries to ICE. The day of the operation, Nicole Navas, spokesperson for ICE, issued brief comments. “This is still an ongoing HSI investigation,” she said. “There is nothing of the public record as criminal charges have not been filed. In order not to compromise this ongoing criminal investigation, no additional details are available at his time.” A few days later, Navas said in an email that agents detained 10 people from China, Guatemala, Thailand, Mexico and Indonesia. “They are currently in ICE custody pending removal or immigration removal proceedings. The HSI criminal investigation continues,” she said. When asked for an update Monday, ICE spokesman Harold Ort said in an email there was no update and the investigation is ongoing.

MEMBERS OF State College Borough council want some answers about recent federal government raids, which were conducted at several Asian restaurants in the State College area. Restaurants that were targetd included China Dragon in the 100 block of South Allen Street, Hundred Degrees Hot Pot, My Thai and Fuji & Jade Garden in the Westerly Parkway Plaza, Penang on North Atherton Street, and the College Buffet at

the North Atherton Place shopping center. All restaurants reopened within 24 hours. Staff and owners at several of the establishments told StateCollege.com they were baffled by the raids.

Construction begins on new Veterans Affairs clinic By JENNIFER MILLER

The clinic will increase from 5,493 square feet at its current location on Enterprise Drive to more than 13,156 square feet. The agency says the expansion project will enhance veterans’ access to healthcare, increase use of virtual care, tele-health and women’s health services, provide future expansion of home-based primary care, and offer ancillary services such as a laboratory and limited X-ray services in the future.

STATE COLLEGE — A new Veterans Affairs clinic for the State College area is under construction. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is building a new outpatient clinic at 2581 Clyde Ave., off East College Avenue in College Township. The facility is expected to open in early 2015.

The State College clinic saw just more than 4,000 patients, with about 15,500 separate appointments in the 2012-2013 fiscal year, according to figures released by the Altoona VA facility. The State College clinic offers primary care, including regular check-ups, flu shots, lab work, audiology, optometry and podiatry. The clinic also has social workers and mental health counselors.

CHRIS MORELLI/The Gazette

CAROL COLESTOCK, a portrait artist from Middleburg, poses with some of her artwork during the People’s Choice Festival of Pennsylvania Arts and Crafts. People’s Choice, from page 1 who sells fine art. “I like the festival. I like the atmosphere and the people. I’m close by — only 40 minutes away.” As festival-goers perused the art in her booth, Marthouse talked about why she keeps coming back. “I enjoy the way its run. I like how the vendors are treated here. The (artists) enjoy it. I like the way it’s set up. It’s not cramped at all,” Marthouse said. Like Marthouse, caricaturist Chip Mock, of State College, has been to the festival every year since it began in 1982. Mock said that Saturday was an “interesting” afternoon. “I did a lot of groups today,” Mock noted. “And a lot of dogs. I did more dogs today than I can ever remember doing. That’s always fun.” But not everyone was a People’s Choice veteran. For Bob Weaver, of Westmoreland County, the 2014 People’s Choice Festival was his first. Weaver owns Bob Weaver’s Art Attack. “I’d heard from other vendors that this is a great festival, so I just decided to give it a try. It’s great,” Weaver said. “I’ve met thousands of people and they’re just wonderful. The organizers do a great job. I love how you can park your vehicle right behind your tent. Most festivals, you can’t do that.” Weaver is a retired art teacher from Yough High School near Pittsburgh. His art had a definite sports theme to it. Many of his works of art featured Pittsburgh sports leg-

ends. Of course, he also brought along some of his Penn State items. “Sales are fantastic,” Weaver said. “I have people in the booth constantly. I don’t even have time to get something to eat because there are people here all the time. But I’m glad — I’m here to sell stuff. I’ll come back next year for sure.” For some artists, like Carol Colestock, the festival is more of a chance to network and build clientele. Colestock is a portrait artist. Therefore, none of the art in her booth was for sale. The portraits were there for show only — examples of the type of work she’s capable of doing. “I never sell anything here,” Colestock explained. “They take my card, they go home and find their pictures. Then they call.” Colestock said that it’s an interesting business. “Since the client is providing a photo, I can make small changes on the portrait … if they don’t like a hairstyle, I can change it or I can put a different outfit on the person,” Colestock said. “I’m doing graphite portraits, which I really enjoy.” Colestock was born in Centre Hall and now resides in Middleburg. She’s retired, but can’t imagine not having art as part of her life, she said. “I’m not doing this for the money. I really don’t make much from it, I’m just doing what I love to do,” she said. She didn’t know how many People’s Choice Festivals she’d been to, but she estimated that the 2014 event was her 10th. “I love to come. I love talking to people, I really do,” Colestock said. “Everything is here. Most people tell me this is their favorite one. Most of the art is affordable, and it’s the type of art they’d put in their home.” Colestock will be back in Centre County next month for Grange Fair in Centre Hall, she said. “That’s my homecoming,” she said with a smile. “I love Grange Fair. I never miss it.” We Accept Food Stamps, EBT, or SNAP Benefits

Slow Down,

JE: It doesn’t surprise me, in terms of where the founders — and to me, the founders are Evan Pugh and George Atherton — saw Penn State going, in terms of what it could accomplish in research. … What kinds of research have we done, how have we helped the community, the nation and internationally. For example, we have faculty who helped to write the Pure Food and Drug Acts, so I think you can look at Penn State today, and still see a lot of the foundational growth from 100 years ago, because these are the things we want to set out to do. Can we continue to keep growing and doing more and more things? I think the sky’s the limit; we can do just about anything we set our minds to. We’ve got the best brains in the world here, we’ve got the energy of the students, we’ve got a lot of phenomenal facilities here, and I think as long as we focus our energies on doing what we do best, which is teaching, research and service, to me there’s not limit to what Penn State can do. CCG: I’m a history geek, and I walked around the reading room and saw Italian books from the 14th century. I love that stuff. Is it fair to say you’re much the same way, because it seems like this is much more than a job to you. JE: I love the stories. The narratives of people’s lives are endlessly fascinating to me. I read historical biographies, and I love finding out what people’s stories are, what got them motivated, why they did what they did and what influenced them. CCG: What’s your favorite piece of memorabilia in Penn State’s collection? JE: One of my favorite things is a cane that was given out at alumni reunions, and it was given out for the 25th reunion, so the assumption was that people were old enough, they needed a cane, they were in their 40s, but inside the cane is a map of campus. They figured people hadn’t been back, and they wouldn’t be able to find their way around campus, and I think the psychology behind that is great. Some of my other favorite things are the photographs of early Penn State life. We have pictures of women from the 1880s running track on the outside railroad tracks, outside of the engineering building, in full-length wool skirts and heels. You can’t appreciate where we are if you don’t know where we’ve been and how much things have changed and what life was like to be a student here at Penn State in the early days through the wars, through the 1960s, so those types of things, I really like. … It’s the individual stories that are great. CCG: Outside of a research interest or a personal interest, what’s the value in Penn State understanding its history and knowing how it grew and became the university it is today? JE: I think it’s critically important for Penn State to understand where it came from. I think it’s important for it to understand what its core values are, and should be, and I think it’s very important, especially now, as we move forward and make a lot of changes that are being recommended, especially from external agencies, for us to understand what are the things that are important to being the land-grant university in the commonwealth, to being Penn State University. What does that really mean to the alums, to the students, to the heritage that we’ve developed over the last 160 years?

BELLY DANCERS from Black Cat Belly Dance entertain the crowd during the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts last week. Arts Fest, from page 1 on Allen Street,” she said. “Just walking around and seeing all of the different things is amazing, too. And we love the food.” John Shouldice, of Florida, said that when he attended Arts Fest last year, it was his first time coming back to the area since he graduated almost 30 years ago. “It’s been great just walking campus and touching base with everything that’s downtown,” he said. “This festival is definitely a reason to come back to town.” In addition to festival attendees, exhibitors come from near and far to display, and hopefully sell, their wares. Gloria McRoberts made the trek to Centre County from Watertown, Tenn., to show her craft at the festival for the first time. “I’ve attended other shows in Pennsylvania before, and the reception has always been good,” she said. McRoberts makes handmade sculptures from natural, undyed wool fibers that are imported from all over the world. While teaching high school art, McRoberts said she was asked to instruct weaving. “I didn’t know anything about it,” she said. “I didn’t have any training.” After doing some research, she developed her own style, which makes her product unique. All of her sculptures are original and copyrighted, she said. McRoberts’ pieces are large — they can run up to 60 feet tall and wide. Due to this, she said they take a long time to make, which limits her production to about 30 pieces a year. “I was very excited to be selected for the year,” McRoberts said. “I hope to come back.” Unlike McRoberts, Steve Strouse didn’t have to travel far to display his work at the festival. Strouse, of Howard, makes handcrafted shaker boxes from locally salvaged woods. This is his fifth year attending the festival, but the first that he has been invited.

Mejimo Grooming for Mutts Less

“It’s an honor,” he said. All of the wood that Strouse uses for his creations is from area trees. Several pieces for sale at this year’s festival were made from wood he collected on campus after the winters of 1995 and 1996. “People really like the local tie,” he said. Strouse said he’s found that people who grew up or went to school here and aren’t local anymore like to have a token of the area to take home with them. Strouse, a former custom furniture maker, said he started creating the shaker boxes when he was asked by a friend. “I fell in love with the process,” he said. “And the business took off.” In addition to selling at Arts Fest, Strouse also sells at the annual Winter Craft Market at Mount Nittany Middle School in State College and year-round at the Gallery Shop in Lemont. One of the new aspects of this year’s festival was Fest Zero and “the Green Crew.” Fest Zero was started earlier this year by a group of volunteers led by Brad Fey. The group’s mission is to partner with area festival organizations to reduce the amount of waste produced, Fey said. “It’s going really well,” he said of Fest Zero’s inaugural year at the festival. “A lot of people are interested and signing up for our newsletter.” Compost and recycling containers were set up along the festival route for people to use as an alternative for trash. In addition, Fest Zero volunteers and the Green Crew set up containers to collect the plastic lemonade cups that many vendors gave out. Those cups need to be specially sorted, Fey said, and brought to a drop-off. “We’re hoping to do more of that next year,” he said. The ultimate goal, Fey said, is for Fest Zero to partner with other area festivals, such as First Night in State College and the People’s Choice Festival in Boalsburg. “It will take a few years to educate the community about composting,” he said. “We plan on putting up more signage, creating more awareness and using more lemonade receptacles.”

Lift for Life raises more than $140,000 By MATT BORTNER

correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The 12th annual Lift for Life, organized by the Penn State Football team, was a huge success. Saturday morning at the Penn State Lacrosse Field, a full house was on hand to watch the Nittany Lions perform in a series of workouts to raise money for Uplifting Athletes. Penn State’s chapter broke its donation record for the sixth year in a row, raising more than $140,000 to fight kidney cancer. This year’s Lift for Life featured a new format organized by Ben Kline, a senior linebacker and the president of Penn State’s Uplifting Athletes. The workouts pitted the offense and defense against one another in a series of drills including the bench press, deadlift, sled push, tire flip, shuttle run and relay races. Each player competed in two drills along with a team tug-of-war competition at the end of the workout. The offensive unit edged out the defensive squad by a final of 30-24, but that score is almost meaningless in comparison to the significance of the event. “It’s for a good cause, so we want to put on a show for the people,” said sophomore quarterback Christian Hackenberg. “We get pretty competitive and we have players sort of jabbing back and forth at each other in locker room.” Put on a show they did, especially at the bench press, where some of the biggest McCrossin, from page 5 project will link the Courthouse Annex and Temple Court Building with a three-story, 140-by-10-foot hallway. “It is a complicated project because it involves some demolition,” vice chairman Chris Exarchos said. “It’s a push, and it may have been a factor in determining the cost of the … bid as well.” The county currently has an agreement for access to the former Hotel Do De site

cheers from the crowd came from. Senior linebacker Mike Hull wowed bystanders as he benched 225 pounds a total of 30 times. Not outdone by much, tight end Jesse James and offensive lineman Donovan Smith both pumped out 27 reps. That many reps would be enough to draw plenty of attention from professional scouts. “Guys work pretty hard in the weight room to put impressive weight up and it’s cool for them to actually be able to put it on display in front of the fans,” said Kline. Unfortunately, Kline was unable to show off his strength this year because of torn Achilles tendon that will sideline him for the rest of the year. He spent the entire day in a motorized scooter and a golf cart making sure things were running smoothly while chauffeuring kids around the field. Despite the injury, Kline is in good spirits, especially because of events like Lift for Life and his teammates. “We have great guys on the team and any time you’re in that locker room it’s the best part of your day,” said Kline. “It is good to be out there and make an impact. I think that’s what draws everybody on the team into doing this. We all understand that we are lucky to do what we do and it is great to give back to the community.” In a not-too-serious setting, players were able to show sides of themselves that most other people do not get to see. When asked if he gets any flak from his teammates about participating in lifting events such as Lift for Life, kicker Sam with developer Ara Kervandijan and Progress Development Group, who owns that area. The construction easement will end on Dec. 31, the commissioners said, which is why the project needs to be finished by then. “This is really an opportunity for us to do something extraordinary,” chairman Steven Dershem said. “It’s costing us a little bit of money to do it, but I think in the end, it will serve Centre County and the judicial system here for decades to come.”

JEN HUDSON/For the Gazette

PENN STATE football players DaQuan Davis and Carl Nassib push a massive tire during Saturday’s Lift for Life, which was held at the Penn State Lacrosse Field. The event raised more than $140,000 for Uplifting Athletes. Ficken, while flexing his arms, said, “Are you kidding me? Have you seen these guns?” Incoming freshmen for the fall did not participate in the workouts, but they held an on-field clinic for youngster during the competitions. Children were put through some football drills and were able to mingle with future stars of the program. Uplifting Athlete’s founder and former

Penn State football player Scott Shirley asked members in the crowd to raise their hands if they attended the first Lift for Life in Holuba Hall. The scant amount of raised hands was testament to how much the event has grown in the past years. Penn State’s chapter is only a few thousand dollars away from reaching the $1 million mark.

Plans for the second phase of the Temple Court Building project are in the works, Exarchos said. The timeline to get that part of the project done is not as pressing, he said, because only inside work on the 120-year-old building will be done. “We’re very excited about this project,” said Robert F. Leahey, president of G.M. McCrossin. He expects to get started on the project within the next two weeks. G.M. McCrossin previously worked with

the county to complete the Courthouse Annex project and restore the historical building in 2006. “We’re thrilled to be working with the commissioners again,” Leahey said. “We’ll have the same guys as last time on the job.” While he said that this will be a “fastpaced project” with tight physical and time constraints, it isn’t really a concern. Leahey also said that when the time comes, his company will “absolutely be bidding” for the second phase of the project.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Opinion

Page 7

Too hard, too soft on poverty? The image of the heartless, Scrooge-like Republican is a staple of the liberal imagination, but does it have any bearing in reality? Recent poll results from the Pew Research Center raise the question anew: They show that 86 percent of self-described “steadfast conservatives” believe that in America, “the poor have it easy.” Just 6 percent of “solid liberals” believe the same thing. Who is right? Are liberals too soft hearted, or are conservatives big ol’ meanies? Columnists Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk debate the issue.

JOEL MATHIS

Republicans may hate their reputation for indifference to and contempt for the poor. But to borrow one of their favorite phrases: They built that. It was certainly on display during the last presidential election: When GOP nominee Mitt Romney got behind closed doors, he talked about the “47 percent” of Americans who would rather get federal subsidies than work for a living. (Conveniently, perhaps, Romney ignored that most of that 47 percent does both.) It was on display a few years back, when the conservative Wall Street Journal labeled poor families “lucky duckies” because of the tax credits they receive to do little things like make sure their children don’t starve. And it was certainly on display back in the 1980s and 1970s when Ronald Reagan — using barely concealed racial code words — breathed fire at the “welfare queens” and the “strapping young bucks” who allegedly used food stamps to buy T-bone steaks. It’s all a destructive myth. Studies show that the chronic stress of being poor — yes, even in

America — makes many people vulnerable to diabetes, heart problems, and other health issues. Other studies have suggested that such stress simply makes it harder to make good decisions or consistently pursue the kinds of long-term goals and behaviors that might lift a person out of poverty. The folks find little official sympathy from the Republican Party and its ilk. To be sure: There are some conservatives who are concerned with poverty, who believe in free-market solutions to helping people lift themselves out of poverty, and often those folks have good ideas that might benefit everybody involved in the fight against the ills of being poor. But the Pew survey suggests those folks are outliers. That’s the kind of thing that would only be said by somebody who has never been poor. And it’s a belief apparently held by the vast majority of Republicans. They earned their reputation, fair and square.

BEN BOYCHUK

What a preposterous poll the Pew Research Center people are peddling. As it happens, anyone can take a shortened version of the poll online by visiting http://www.people-press. org/quiz/political-typology/. No surprise, I wound up in the “solidly conservative” camp when I answered the 23-question quiz. But it wasn’t a particularly satisfying outcome. Although the poll’s design allows for a little nuance — a fraction of respondents answered, “I don’t know” — it’s very much an either-or proposition. On the topic of whether poor Americans are living easy, here is how the Pew quiz poses the question: “Which of the following statements comes closest to your view? ‘Poor peo-

ple today have it easy because they can get government benefits without doing anything in return.’ Or ‘Poor people have hard lives because government benefits don’t go far enough to help them live decently.’” Both statements are gross oversimplifications. “Some of those questions are really dumb,” remarked Jason Bedrick, an education policy analyst for the libertarian (don’t you dare call it conservative!) Cato Institute in Washington, D.C. “You can believe that the poor have it hard and that government programs aren’t the best way to help them.” Precisely. This gets to the heart of the conservative — and libertarian — critique of the 21st century American welfare state. We see a labor participation rate that’s fallen to a 36-year low — 62.8 percent — even as the unemployment rate has dipped to 6.1 percent. That means millions of Americans who could be working are not. They’ve simply given up looking for gainful employment in a stagnant economy. In some cases, it’s better to stay unemployed than work because the government benefits are better. In 35 states, according to a 2013 Cato study, welfare pays more than a minimum wage job. That doesn’t mean welfare recipients’ lives are easy. But it does mean certain government policies have created incentives against the habits — like honest work and maintaining two-parent families — that would make their lives better and more meaningful. That’s a nuance the Pew poll doesn’t quite capture. Reach Ben Boychuk at bboychuk@ city-journal.org, Joel Mathis at joelmmathis@gmail.com.

July Fourth prompts Patriotism can solve immigration crisis thoughts of freedom By MARTIN SCHRAM

On the evening of July 3, I set out from my home in Aaronsburg for a quick run. Out later than I expected, I found myself doing the last leg of my jog in the dark, traveling east on the stretch of 45 between Millheim and Aaronsburg. I wasn’t worried, however; there was a bright crescent moon, and the road had a wide shoulder. There were fireflies in the fields. Unfortunately, I was startled — well, to be honest, terrified — not once, not twice, but three times by car horns and the voices of men shouting out gender slurs and threats of sexual violence as they sped by. By the time I got home, I was shaking and nauseous. What gentlemen I encountered that night! In truth, like any woman, I have been threatened by men shouting out car windows everywhere I’ve walked, in every place I’ve lived, since I was a young girl. I’d like to think that here in Penns Valley, where we celebrate our small towns and neighborly ways, things would be different. I guess not, because on the eve of July Fourth, I found myself reflecting: What does Independence Day really mean in a culture where women are perpetually intimidated and harassed, just for walking out under the stars?

Clackety-clack, track after track, the train powers through the night toward the border crossing that will mark its entry into the United States. A young boy, a stowaway, is among those jammed on board. He’s the one we’ll be following here. The news these days is about thousands of children who are surging illegally into the United States — on trains, on buses, on foot. They are being warehoused in deplorable detention border centers. Many in the heartland and in Congress are demanding just one solution: Send the children back where they came from. Luckily, the stowaway boy we are following never faced that unhappy fate. For one thing, this boy was not alone; he was hiding with his dad, mom and five sisters. For another, their trek occurred almost a century ago. Undetected and undocumented, the family hopped off after the train crossed the border and started a new life in a new community. In a border state place called the Bronx. The young boy in our story was Abe Rosenthal. He became a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for The New York Times and one of the famous paper’s most famous editors. The story of how Abe came to the United States was never a part of his official Times bio and you won’t find it in his 2006 New York Times obituary. But one night, Abe told me the real story of how he came to America as we sat in a bar somewhere on some presidential campaign trail. And Abe’s story is worth recalling today as America seems to be taking a very different turn on the pathway of heritage and history our relatives once traveled and we once valued. Abe was the son of a Byelorussian farmer and his wife. They came to Canada in the 1890s and changed their name from Shipiatsky to Rosenthal. That’s where Abe was born in 1922. Abe’s father became a fur trapper and trader but wanted a better life for his family. So they stowed away on that train. Abe got his first job with The New York Times in 1943. Eight years later, he took care of some unfinished business — and became a naturalized U.S. citizen. He was one of the proudest and most patriotic Americans I’ve ever known. Today, our proud history and heritage — and our partisan politics — all seem to be racing forward in reverse. Years ago, a seemingly farsighted Texas governor named George W. Bush bought into a grand scheme devised by his strategist, Karl Rove, to remake Republicans into America’s perpetual majority party. They knew their solidly Republican Texas was just a few Latino immigration surges away from forever losing their Grand Old Party’s dominance in the state.

Their plan: Offer a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants who were living productively in America. Whoa! Today’s shortsighted Republican leaders, fearing tea party challenges, shrink from any immigration reform other than round-them-up and throw-them-out. But political myopia is not an exclusively Republican malady. President Obama’s advisers boggled the minds of fellow Democrats by announcing, with inexplicable political insensitivity, that while in Texas for two political fundraisers, Obama didn’t intend to visit those squalid border immigration detention camps. So the White House scrambled to put together a meeting with local officials. But Obama’s advisers compounded their problems by first saying they would ask for $2 billion to deal with the surge of illegals, then asking for almost twice that, with no explanation of what changed. Almost lost in all this is the concept that America can still create a humane response. On the Fourth of July, a New York Times editorial called for “giving millions of immigrants permission to stay, to work and to live without fear. Mr. Obama needs to scale back the deportation machinery, which he greatly expanded. His decision two years ago to halt deportations of young immigrants called Dreamers was a good first step. Now he should protect Dreamers’ parents, and, if possible, parents of citizen children.” Above that clarion call, the Times masthead reminds that the paper’s influential editorial page editor is Andrew Rosenthal. (Yes, Abe’s son). What America needs now is a new bipartisan presidential team to solve today’s immigration crisis. We need a patriotic initiative that deep-sixes politics, brings together Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama — and encourages us all to follow.

Penn State Hershey Medical Center leader leaving HERSHEY — Dr. Harold L. Paz will join Aetna later this month as executive vice president and chief medical officer. Paz will lead clinical strategy and policy at the intersection of all of Aetna’s domestic and global businesses. Paz has served as chief executive officer of Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, Penn State’s senior vice president for health affairs and dean of its College of Medicine since April 2006. “Hal Paz has presided over an unprecedented period of growth and stability at Penn State Hershey,” said Penn State President Eric Barron. “His time at Penn State has been marked by new and innovative academic programs, growth in health sciences research, expanded access to patient care and increased service to our community. When Hal arrived eight years ago, the medical center and College of Medicine faced a number of significant challenges. Today it is on an extraordinary trajectory. We are grateful for his service to students and patients alike on behalf of Penn State.” During Paz’s eight-year tenure at Penn State Hershey, annual outpatient visits grew from just over 763,000 to nearly 1 million by the end of June 2014. Emergency department visits went from over 45,000 to 65,000. Surgical cases grew from nearly 22,000 to more than 28,000 while hospital admissions went from just over 26,000 to more than 28,000. Penn State Hershey Medical Center posted positive operating margins in every one of Paz’s eight fiscal years, including the period encompassing the 2008-09 global recession. Paz led the creation of Penn State Hershey Medical Group, which now includes 64 outpatient practices and nearly 1,100 employed physicians and other clinicians. Fourteen of the group’s adult primary care sites have been awarded the highest level of patient-centered medical home certification from the National Committee for Quality Assurance. Paz initiated the formation of Penn State Hershey Health System, which currently includes four hospitals, an ambulatory surgery center, an endoscopy center and 18 affiliated hospitals. Paz also spearheaded the creation of Penn State Hershey Rehabilitation Hospital, a joint venture with Select Medical, and the Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute — an inpatient and outpatient behavioral collaboration between Penn State Hershey and PinnacleHealth System. Most recently, Paz led the negotiations between Penn State Hershey and PinnacleHealth toward the formation of a new integrated health care enterprise across central Pennsylvania. New Cancer Institute and Children’s Hospital facilities, along with the development of the medical center’s East Health Campus, were among the highlights of a 1.5 million-square-foot expansion of the medical center campus overseen by Paz since 2006. In total, the expansion included six new buildings and more than 1 million square feet of renovation for patient care, research and education, including the new state-of-the-art Clinical Simulation Center and the Institute for Personalized Medicine.

Under Paz’s leadership, Penn State received a coveted $27.3 million Clinical Translational Science Award from the National Institutes of Health, and overall the College of Medicine’s NIH rank rose from 70th to 57th nationally over the past eight years. New departments and institutes were started, including Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, the Global Health Center and the Penn State Hershey Neuroscience Institute. HAROLD L. PAZ Penn State Hershey’s growth, however, extended beyond the medical center’s 550-acre campus. New medical group sites were established in Camp Hill, Mount Joy, State College, Reading and Scranton. Paz also guided the creation of a new regional medical campus in State College, highlighted by four new outpatient clinical sites, new joint-degree programs between the College of Medicine and other Penn State colleges, and a new family medicine residency program in collaboration with Mount Nittany Medical Center. New academic programs established during Paz’s administration included a physician’s assistant master’s program, a fully-accredited graduate program in public health, and new doctoral and dual degree programs. The medical school curriculum also underwent significant revision during Paz’s tenure, and the College of Medicine was one of only 11 U.S. medical schools awarded a $1 million grant by the American Medical Association as part of a program aimed at transforming the way the physicians of tomorrow are trained. The College of Medicine received full eight-year accreditation from the Liaison Council on Medical Education in 2010. Meanwhile, overall demand for admission to Penn State College of Medicine remained high, with more than 8,000 medical school applications in the most recent academic year. Approximately one in six medical degree applicants nationally apply to Penn State. From the start of his tenure at Penn State Hershey, Paz placed increased emphasis on community service and outreach. In 2012, Penn State Hershey completed its first-ever Community Health Needs Assessment in collaboration with two other health systems (PinnacleHealth and Holy Spirit Health System), and was recognized by the Hospital and Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania with a 2013 HAP Achievement Award for Community Benefit for its innovative partnership with the Lebanon School District to improve the health of children. Penn State Hershey also worked in conjunction with several other Hershey entities to establish a farmers market and most recently a community garden on the medical center’s campus, which opened in this past April. Under Paz’s leadership, Penn State Hershey raised more than $306 million in philanthropy, exceeding its goal under Penn State’s multi-year “For the Future” campaign.

“It has been my privilege to serve Penn State over these past eight years and be entrusted with advancing our missions of education, research, patient care and community service,” Paz said. “During my time here, I was blessed to work with countless faculty, students and staff of the highest caliber and have been repeatedly inspired by their determination to improve health, advance the practice of medicine and serve our community.” In his new role at Aetna, Paz will assess the impact of the changing industry landscape on Aetna and its stakeholders, including employers, physicians, hospitals, government, medical associations and investors. He will drive clinical innovation that improves the experience, quality and cost in all areas of the health care system. Paz received a bachelor’s degree in biology and psychology from the University of Rochester, a Master of Science in life science engineering from Tufts University and his medical degree from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. He completed his internship and residency at Northwestern University, where he served as chief medical resident and instructor in clinical medicine. He was a fellow in pulmonary and critical care medicine at Johns Hopkins Medical School, where he was a Eudowood Fellow. In addition, he was a post-doctoral fellow in environmental health science at Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health. Paz’s last day with Penn State will be Monday, July 28. Barron has appointed Dr. A. Craig Hillemeier to serve as CEO, senior vice president for health affairs and dean of the College of Medicine upon Paz’s departure. Barron indicated he will hold a national search for the role, but did not set a specific timeline. Hillemeier joined Penn State Hershey in October 2001 as chair of pediatrics and medical director for the Children’s Hospital, roles he still holds. He became vice dean for clinical affairs in 2006 and chief operating officer of the medical group at its inception in 2008. Hillemeier also served as interim executive director and chief operating officer of the medical center in 2006. “Craig’s broad institutional knowledge and experience, as well as his passion for Penn State Hershey and its interrelated missions of patient care, research, education and service make him well-suited to lead our health enterprise,” said Barron. “Health care is facing an unprecedented period of change and we are grateful to Craig for his willingness to provide steady leadership at such a critical time.” Hillemeier graduated from Loyola University Medical School, where he also completed his residency in pediatrics. He completed his fellowship in pediatric gastroenterology at Yale New Haven Medical Center and was a member of the faculty at Brown University between 1982 and 1988. Hillemeier served as division chief of pediatric gastroenterology at University of Michigan Health System and later as associate chair in pediatrics from 1988 to 2001. He is also immediate past chair of the board of directors for the American Board of Pediatrics.

Camp Energy helps campers and their families start and maintain a healthy lifestyle and encourages holistic wellness, according to camp director Jerry Foley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rather than approach health as a physical issue, Energy teaches, promotes and instills the larger factors that determine a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well-being,â&#x20AC;? Foley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is our inaugural weeklong camp and we expect attendance to dramatically increase this year.â&#x20AC;? Camp Energy is open to children between the ages of 11 and 18. Campers must be willing to participate in camp activities, be open to a lifestyle change and have at least one primary caregiver willing to participate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to promote overall wellness, not only in the camper themselves, but to their family, friends and surrounding community,â&#x20AC;? Franceschelli said. Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Miracle Network at Geisinger has supported Camp Energy for the past several years. Funds from Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Miracle Network support operation costs for the camp and make the camp more affordable to families.

Letrozole may help women with PCOS become pregnant HERSHEY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The drug letrozole results in higher birth rates in women with polycystic ovary syndrome than the current preferred infertility treatment drug, according to a nationwide study led by Penn State College of Medicine researchers. PCOS affects 5 to 10 percent of reproductive-age women and is the most common cause of female infertility. Women affected have excessive levels of the hormone androgen, have infrequent periods, develop small cysts on the ovaries and have trouble conceiving. Clomiphene citrate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a drug that stimulates ovulation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has been the standard treatment for decades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clomiphene has its drawbacks,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Richard Legro, professor of obstetrics and gynecology and lead author on the study. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only 22 percent successful with up to six cycles of treatment in producing a successful birth, it has a high multiple-pregnancy rate in comparison to unassisted conception, and it has side effects including hot flashes and mood changes.â&#x20AC;? Letrozole is a class of drug that blocks estrogen production. To compare the two drugs, researchers studied 750 in-

fertile women with PCOS between 18 and 40 years old who wanted to conceive. Women were randomly assigned to either clomiphene or letrozole and took the medications for up to five cycles, with increasing dosage each cycle. Results are reported in the current issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. The group of women who received letrozole had a higher rate of live births â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 27.5 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; than those on clomiphene â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 19.1 percent. In addition, ovulation rates were significantly higher with letrozole than with clomiphene at each monthly visit. Fewer twin pregnancies occurred in the women who took letrozole â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 3.9 percent on letrozole and 6.9 percent on clomiphene. Clomiphene was associated with a significantly higher incidence of hot flashes; letrozole with significantly higher incidence of fatigue and dizziness. Birth defects were rare and rates were similar between the two medications, comparable to those from studies of women who conceive without treatment. Further research is needed with a larger number of infants to clarify the safety of letrozole.

PSU academic adviser enjoys guiding students By STEPHANIE VELLUCCI Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Most people who have attended college can recall one faculty or staff member who sincerely made his or her college experience better. The one who, when the stress seemed to be too much, was the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motivation for getting through it all. While professors often fulfill this role, so do others who offer full-time support to students on the road to graduation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; academic advisers. Former health policy and administration undergraduate adviser Susan Sanders, who recently was appointed program coordinator for Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s master of health administration program, is an example of how one person can impact so many. During her eight years as HPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s academic adviser, Sanders tallied between 300 and 400 advising sessions each semester. Among her duties, Sanders helped students plan their academic schedules, develop effective networking strategies and pursue post-graduate opportunities. Just as importantly, Sanders often found herself simply lending a sympathetic ear to those who needed it, offering advice to help students overcome personal dilemmas or cheering on students who worked hard to succeed. Sanders began helping college students as an admissions representative at South Hills School of Business and

MISS BEA CROWNED

Technology in State College. She worked in this role for almost 10 years before realizing she was eager â&#x20AC;&#x153;for a new challenge.â&#x20AC;? Knowing that academic advising suited her well, she applied for and then accepted her position at Penn State. Sanders follows a philosophy that each student is important and deserves the highest quality of education available. This philosophy has helped her succeed as an academic SUSAN SANDERS adviser. She values her student-adviser relationships and enjoys watching students grow academically and professionally. Many students keep her updated on their professional lives well past graduation. During the past eight years, Sanders has embraced opportunities for growth, which included fulfilling a role as interim director of the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Leadership Initiative with the College of Health and Human Development. This role helped her realize she wanted to pursue new challenges, which landed her in her current position. Sanders says she is grateful for the new opportunity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get to stay in the same great department and to guide, challenge, possibly even inspire students to reach their highest potentials,â&#x20AC;? she said.

As program coordinator, Sanders will work with the MHA program to focus on strategic efforts to expand cohort size, build recruiting efforts and improve overall efficiency. Sanders especially likes her new position because she can still advise students. She pointed out, however, that although graduate students tend to have a much clearer career path than undergraduates, MHA students still need direction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Undergraduate students are just beginning to learn about where they fit in the world, said Sanders. Thatincludes everything from learning how to succeed in college to taking the first steps into life after graduation. MHA students are farther down the road, but they still need to be encouraged and challenged so that they can continue to become the leaders in health care that we expect them to be.â&#x20AC;? Sanders explained that â&#x20AC;&#x153;people who select health care are generally people who want to help.â&#x20AC;? Similarly, successful student advising stems from a willingness to help, a strength Sanders applies as she guides health care careerists to reach academic and professional success. Caroline Condon-Lewis, who has nearly 20 years of experience as an academic adviser, now holds the HPA undergraduate academic adviser position. Previously, she worked at the HPA, as well as at Smeal College of Business and the College of Nursing.

Flutopia Initiative set to kick off second 5K By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Giving back and being involved in the community has always been important to flutist Cathy Herrera. To combine her love of music with the desire to help others, Herrera created The Flutopia Initiative, which encompasses two annual events: the holiday musical and the Flutopia 5K. The Flutopia Initiative, Herrera said, is a project designed to inspire musicians to give back to their communities by “p(l) aying it forward” through the gift of song and outreach. The initiative’s slogan is “Flutists inspiring musicians to change the world, one concert at a time.” Herrera said her initial idea was to work with the National Flute Association, which numbers about 1,500 members, to put on concerts to benefit a cause of its choice. While this hasn’t yet taken off, Herrera has organized three successful events in State College as part of The Flutopia Initiative to benefit the State College Food Bank, Centre Volunteers in Medicine and Doctors Without Borders. Herrera’s passion for music and physical activity stems from her parents — her mother is a musician and her father is a track

and cross-country coach. “Running and music are an important part of my life,” she said. “It’s also part of who I am to do outreach.” Through friends, Herrera said she learned about medical mission work in South America, and decided it was something she wanted to become involved with. “I realized that this was a great opportunity to organize concerts to promote arts and education,” she said. The first event in The Flutopia Initiative was a holiday musical in December 2012 at Robert M. Sides Family Music Centers on North Atherton. From the beginning, Herrera said she knew this was going to be an annual thing. The proceeds raised were donated to the State College Food Bank. The second annual holiday musical took place last December. Between musical events, however, Herrera wanted to add something else. Thus, the Flutopia 5K was born. More than 100 people participated in the run/ walk last year, which featured live music stations throughout the race course. The event raised about $1,200, Herrera said, for its beneficiaries, Doctors Without Borders and Centre Volunteers in Medicine. “We’re thrilled to be a part of

it,” said CVIM marketing, communications and events coordinator Sue Forster. Part of CVIM’s budget goes toward community-sponsored events, Forster said, and the funds donated from the Flutopia 5K “helps that part of the budget.” The second annual Flutopia 5K will take place at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 26, at Tom Tudek Memorial Park. There will also be a “Flutastic 50”-yard kids’ run. This year’s race will feature the musical talents of: The Flight of the Bumblebee (Naomi Seidman, Shiqun Oh, Sarah Rajtmajer, Cecilia Leskowicz, Ay Kawasaki and Katie Reese); Diane and Smitty Toulson; Black Satellite band members Kyle Hockenberry and Larissa Gryschuk; singers Isaiah and Elijah Adu, accompanied by Carol Pharo; World Drums (Carol Lindsay, Alexa Krepps and Jennifer and Chris Bittner); the Herb McKinstry Brass Quintet; and Flutopia Jazz (Arthur Goldstein on keyboard, Andre LaVelle on bass, Jaren Angud on drums, Herrera on flute, Rei Phillippi on saxophone, Tyler Campolongo on trumpet and Bob LaBarca on trombone). While Herrera hopes that as many people as last year sign up for the race, she said that most of the names she’s seen thus far are new.

RUNNERS TAKE OFF during the first Flutopia 5K, last summer. The second annual event will take place on July 26 at Tudek Memorial Park. Participants in this year’s race can also elect to add a $3 donation, which will be used to purchase recorders for orphans in Guatemala. Herrera said she will visit the country next March and bring the recorders with her to give initial lessons to about 1,000 orphans in four schools. She will also introduce the children to chamber music. “It’s so wonderful to be able to give the gift of music,” she said.

“There’s a lot of opportunity for outreach and help for the underprivileged.” This December, the third annual holiday musical will take place, Herrera said.

Retirement not ordinary for local adventurer STATE COLLEGE — For seemingly the millionth time, Paul Ruskin reminded me that he doesn’t think like other people. After finishing lunch earlier this month at The Corner Room, Ruskin picked up his plate as he was describing to me how he spent his previous week gazing at the galaxy while visiting the Star Quest Conference at the Green Bank National Radio Astronomy Observatory in an isolated valley in West Virginia. The radio-free area was established by the John Patishnock federal government in is a Centre County the 1950s as a deepnative, and his space monitoring site; stories on how it’s the location of the he’s reconnecting to the area will world’s largest movbe showcased in able object, the 300“Rediscovering foot Green Bank TeleHappy Valley,” a scope, also known as column that will the GBT. run every other Ruskin used a numweek in The Centre ber of analogies to deCounty Gazette. scribe how cool of an experience it was, but my favorite was this: He said it was like visiting Jurassic Park and having someone give you the keys to a Jeep and all the codes to the park. In other words, it was fun. Among other activities, he used a 40-foot dish and the GBT to scan the heavens. Anyway, back to Ruskin’s plate. With a mix of astonishment and curiosity, he told me how much humans don’t know about what’s really out in space. Thousands of planets and other specks orbit the sun, and

JOHN PATISHNOCK

even the best scientific minds aren’t completely sure what’s happening out there. In this illustration, the plate represented the galaxy, with Ruskin saying that so much unknown knowledge lies beyond the outer edge of the galaxy (i.e., the edge of the plate) and even the best telescopes in the world won’t allow us to see that far (i.e., through the plate). Basically, there’s too much stuff in the middle, Ruskin surmised, pointing at the plate and the last remaining crumbs. Most people would have looked at the nearly empty plate and seen only the remnants of a meal. Then there’s Ruskin, who picks up the plate and envisions outer space. Ruskin continued, discussing his week at the research facility. There were keynote speakers, presentations and the opportunity to share personal experiences while learning what others are doing around the country. But here’s the catch: He wasn’t detailing what he did on a work-related trip. This is how he spends his retirement. When others his age are looking for ways to kick back and relax, Ruskin spends his time in an underground bunker, monitoring hydrogen emissions. I’m not exaggerating, that’s literally what he did. You’ve probably read about Ruskin recently. A number of media outlets ran stories on him when he retired at the beginning of June after spending nearly 40 years at Penn State; he’s also a two-time graduate of the university. His name was nearly omnipresent in stories about Penn State’s Office of Physical Plant, where he spent 16 years as a communications liaison. If you’ve ever read a story about how OPP has dealt with the crow population, then you probably recognize Ruskin’s name. What makes Ruskin really stand out,

Got Bugs?

however, is the stuff most people don’t know about, or at least didn’t know about until the retirement stories were published. He’s been dubbed “The Most Interesting Man in the World,” a playful nod to the advertising campaign, but I prefer to think of Ruskin as Penn State’s version of Indiana Jones. Within a matter of minutes during a previous get-together last month at The Corner Room — if it isn’t obvious, that’s my go-to lunch joint — Ruskin discussed archaeology, astronomy and filmmaking, and he sounded expertly informed on each topic. His insight constantly reminds me that it’s not necessary to set limits or boundaries. You create your own fate and what’s possible with your life. I’ve never really understood why Ruskin has always made time for me, but I’m glad that he does. He could give a formal presentation at a national conference on any number of interesting topics, so when he chooses to set aside some time to meet me downtown, it’s not something I take for granted. I originally met Ruskin nearly a decade ago when I was making my first documentary film, and we’ve remained good friends. Back then, I interviewed him on the steps of Old Main, and we talked about how Penn State incorporates sustainable practices into its daily operation. All these years later, and that’s the topic we still discuss more than anything. In August, I’m moving into a great apartment in College Heights, and I’m going to try to drive less than 1,000 miles during the following calendar year to see how much I can reduce my carbon imprint. I’ll make a film and write a research paper on the experience, documenting everything, and I’m sure there will be a few times when I’ll seek out Ruskin’s advice.

PAUL RUSKIN has retired from Penn State, but that hasn’t slowed him down one bit. He and I have worked together on the Trash to Treasure planning committee, and Ruskin, along with two other Penn State officials, even visited me when I played a small role in creating a similar event at Indiana University. The night before the sale at IU, a group of us visited a local brewery, a really great place — basically, Bloomington’s version of Otto’s. Anyway, most of us had consumed a few beverages when Ruskin, referencing my brother and me, looked at my dad and said, “Your sons are my sons!” That’s one of my dad’s favorite stories to tell, and it seems that a week doesn’t go by without him sharing it again. Ruskin’s name routinely comes up in our conversations, and my dad always asks how he’s doing. When Ruskin and I finished lunch earlier this month, we walked outside. I headed back to work, while he was off to his next adventure of the afternoon — kayaking on Spring Creek. Never a dull moment, and never without a plan: That’s Ruskin, in less than 10 words. There aren’t many like him.

Bluegrass Festival draws large crowds to Centre Hall By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The sounds of more than 20 bluegrass bands filled the air in Centre Hall as the eighth annual Remington Ryde Bluegrass Festival came to the Grange Fairgrounds. The festival had previously been held in Reedsville, Mifflin County, but, according to festival organizer Ryan Frankhouser, the event outgrew its venue in Reedsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Youth Park, and moved to the Grange Fairgrounds last year. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event drew even larger crowds than last year, with attendees coming from many states, as well as some Canadian provinces. The festival participants and spectators enjoyed four days of down-home banjo, guitar and fiddle music, as well as after-hours jam sessions in the camper areas. Spectators sat in lawn chairs in front of the stage or under several large circus-style shade tents. Crowds estimated at nearly 2,000 people filled the space each day of the festival, as each act took its turn on the stage, delighting the crowds. On Friday night, the Bluegrass Gentlemen took the stage, performing their repertoire. They received spontaneous ovations when they launched into Johnny Cashâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Walk the Line,â&#x20AC;? and Willie Nelsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standard â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain.â&#x20AC;? Several of the bands included gospel songs in their sets.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival schedule even included a wedding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A couple approached me here last year and asked if I would marry them at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival. I said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yes,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do it on Sunday,â&#x20AC;? said Cox. The festival attracts spectators and participants from far distances. In the camping area was a group of 11 members of the Stewart, Crowe and Hendricks families from Pickens, S.C. The group included 13-year-old twins Sarina and Sarah Stewart and 12-year-old Sean Crowe, who formed a band called Three Creeks Over. They performed on Saturday during the festival. The group drove 767 miles to be at this event. In addition to the many performances, various instrument-specific and music theory workshops were conducted, and the grounds were populated with many food, craft and T-shirt vendors. One food vendor called Cajun Express came from Louisiana and travels all over the northeast to various events, including Grange Fair, offering foods such as catfish, frog legs and chicken on a stick. Frankhouser likes the Grange Fairgrounds venue because of its spaciousness and its 1,500 camper sites, which easily accommodates the hundreds of campers who come for the event.

SWEET SCOOPS, a new gelato and ice cream parlor in Centre Hall, features nostalgic soda fountainstyle seating.

Sweet Scoops Gelato opens in Centre Hall By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — Sweet Scoops Gelato Ice Cream Parlor recently opened in Centre Hall. Located at 237 N. Pennsylvania Ave., it’s in the former location of the Brothers Pizza Shop, which moved next door to a much-expanded facility four years ago. Eddie and Rose Nicolosi are the owners of both businesses. They were unsure of what to do with the old building when they expanded the pizza shop into the new building. After using the old building for storage for several years, they considered opening an ice cream store. “I knew from people coming in (to Brothers) that there was a demand for ice cream in this town,” said Eddie Nicolosi. “I talked to my wife and we decided to go for it.” During the past two months, the Sweet Scoops building has been remodeled by Kunes Construction Company and turned into a sparkling, modern facility that still retains the charm of an old-fashioned ice cream parlor. With table and chair seating

on the perimeter of the room, and a center island counter with orange and chrome pedestal-type stools, the Sweet Scoops décor is reminiscent of the days of soda fountains in the 1950s. Sweet Scoops offers soft-serve vanilla and chocolate ice cream in cones or dishes, as well as milk shakes, sundaes, swirls and several flavors of frozen yogurt and gelato. “We make our gelato right here every day,” said Sweet Scoops manager Tina Stevens. “We use Turkey Hill premium ice cream for the soft serve,” said Nicolosi. Also on the Sweet Scoops menu are espresso, cappuccino, lattes and cold soft drinks. Sweet Scoops opened on July 1, but is planning an official grand opening soon. The store is open from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., Tuesdays through Thursdays; 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays, and from noon to 9 p.m. on Sundays. For more information, visit the Sweet Scoops Facebook page or call (814) 3641141.

Church celebrates 50 years of Vacation Bible School By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — The Valley Mennonite Church, located along Route 192 in Gregg Township, is celebrating 50 years of Vacation Bible School this summer. Its first Vacation Bible School was held in 1964 under the auspices of Pastor Marvin Freed, and has continued every year since. Children ages 3 through teens meet at the church during weekday mornings for two weeks in July. Students meet in the sanctuary at 9 a.m. for a devotional time. They then adjourn to their classes, some of which are located in the church and others in a large tent behind the building. At 10 a.m., they have a recess time followed by a snack, then go back to classes until dismissal. Each class is led by one teacher and a helper. VBS superintendent Valerie King said there are 125 students enrolled in this year’s sessions. Unlike many similar programs, this VBS includes high school students. “The high school class is actually our biggest class, with 11 students,” said King.

Freed is still involved with VBS and teaches the high school class, which includes students from eighth through 11th grades. King noted that the church has five families with a third generation of children attending the VBS. Freed’s son, Kenneth Freed, is the pastor of the church, which has a congregation of about 70 people. The elder Freed still serves as senior pastor. An unusual feature of the VBS is that three vans and a bus are used to transport students from all over the Penns Valley and Brush Valley area to the church. The use of the bus is donated by Hart’s Charters in McAlisterville. “This makes things much easier for households where both parents work,” King said. The Valley Mennonite Church has a long history. Constructed in 1900, it served as an Evangelical United Brethren church, and was known as the Yearick Church, since the land where it sits was part of the Sam Yearick farm. Yearick was instrumental in helping to establish the church. The church closed in 1931, but was reopened

SENIOR PASTOR Marvin Freed, standing, leads a Vacation Bible School class of 11 high school students studying the life of Paul the Apostle. in 1963 as a Mennonite church. Yearick and his wife are buried in a small cemetery behind the building. The church was originally located very close to the road, but in 1972, it was moved and placed on a new foundation about 50 feet south of the road. “When they paved (Route) 192, we had to take off the belfry,” said Marvin Freed. “It was on the road right-of-way.” The VBS has had a lasting impact on the lives of countless children during the last 50 years. Norma Miller was a student in the

early days of the program “My brother and I attended the VBS when they had just started. We both have very fond memories. The teacher greeted us each morning and we sang lots of songs, which was my favorite part. I remember we had a closing program and the church was filled. It was very special to us. I still have such fond memories of Pastor Freed and how he had such dedication to everyone that he met. Over the years I have always admired their dedication to the community and the lives of children,” said Miller.

Remembering an Old Fort landmark By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — A Penns Valley landmark is no more. The former Fye’s Frosty Kup ice cream stand in Old Fort was demolished to make room for a new Sheetz store. Crashing down along with the blocks and boards were an untold number of memories of good times spent there by residents of the entire Centre Region, as well as those of many passers-by over a period of 60 years. Soft serve ice cream was invented and began being sold in the 1930s. By the economic boom of postwar 1950s, it had become a national favorite treat. Bill Fye, of Centre Hall, was a successful entrepreneur who had formed Allegheny Construction Company near Old Fort in

the early 1950s. The company specialized in setting poles for utility companies, mainly West Penn Power. Fye, who had also sold appliances and Wheel Horse garden tractors, saw an opportunity for a profitable food stand business just down the road from his house between Centre Hall and Old Fort. He negotiated a long-term lease with the Old Fort American Legion, who owned land at the intersection of Routes 45 and 144. In 1954, he constructed a small concrete block building, which became Fye’s Frosty Kup. The Frosty Kup opened in 1955, and was an immediate success. It became a stop-off place for dating teens and a favorite destination for parents and kids. To hot, weary travelers who stopped to fuel up at the Gulf gas station across the road, Fye’s

Frosty Kup gleamed like an oasis in the desert, providing a pleasant, cooling break on long journeys in the days when very few cars had air conditioning. As Fye’s business grew, he expanded the Frosty Kup several times. The original building was a simple shed-roofed concrete block building measuring about 20 feet by 15 feet. The first expansion changed the roof to a gable-type that formed an overhang, that shaded and protected customers from rain at the serving counters. Later, the overhang area was enclosed with brick and plate glass walls to form an eat-in area for customers. A later expansion with a basement was added to the rear of the building to provide larger kitchen and storage areas. Some of Fye’s most frequent customers were Centre Hall Little

Meyer Dairy a longtime favorite in State College By CONNIE COUSINS

spoke with said they come all year round, after sporting events and movies and “just because.” As I approached the store, I spoke with Debi Noon, who owns and operates a barbershop on Pugh Street in State College. “Yes, I come here all the time,” she said. “Since March of this year, when I just became fed up with conglomerates, big business, etc., I quit taking credit cards in my place. Coming here is just a small effort to support local business, sustainability, crop-sharing movements, etc.” She moved on to her car with one gallon each of chocolate and regular milk. Meyer Dairy is family owned and as local as you can find. The milk travels from the farm that can be viewed from the store. It is bottled or made into ice cream in the

STATE COLLEGE — On any given summer day, and especially in the evening after the kids have eaten their dinner, families head for Meyer Dairy. You can see the lines snaking out the door into the parking lot. It is a favorite of many in this area for so many reasons. And, some people agree that there is no need to wait for summer. Two families I

back of the store. The fact that the milk is so fresh and comes in returnable glass bottles lures a lot of people to the dairy. With so much emphasis in Centre County on recycling, eating fresh and supporting local, it is the perfect place to shop for ice cream, butter, cheese and milk. The restaurant does a good business, too, offering simple meals like soup, hot dogs and macaroni salad, in addition to the ice cream treats. When the Meyer brothers set up the store in 1970, they probably didn’t anticipate the popularity and scope of their business. Joe Meyer, the owner of Meyer Dairy, is the grandson of W. C. Meyer, who purchased a first Meyer farm is 1887 on Branch Road. The Meyers delivered State

College residents their milk until 1947. The present dairy store was built to serve the community in 1970 and has been going strong ever since. According to the owners, Meyer doesn’t give interviews anymore. I had a chance to speak with him for a moment, and he was kind as I asked about the farm side of the business and he replied that his son looked after the farm. After checking the date of the store’s opening, I allowed him to get back to the paperwork on his desk. On this day, a family sitting at a picnic table outside the store was laughing, talking and licking cones. The image of that family is a slice of summer to be saved for a time and unwrapped during the gray, cold days of winter.

“A man who lived 50 miles away once called Dad and asked if he had Grape Nut this week, saying he would come to get some if he did,” said Mothersbaugh. “He was willing to drive 50 miles just to get Dad’s Grape Nut ice cream.” Fye retired from running the Frosty Kup around 1990, and the business changed hands several times afterward. It became George’s Frosty Kup, operated by George Manis. Dave Dunlap ran the business next, and in its final incarnation it was called Doan’s Bones and Ice Cream Cones, managed by Brandon Corvin. It closed several years ago. And now, Fye’s Frosty Kup is reduced to a pile of rubble, a consequence of the inevitable march of progress. All that remains of the original Frosty Kup is the oversize roof-mounted plywood ice cream cone, which now adorns the barn at Jane and Doug Mothersbaugh’s farm in Colyer. But, Frosty Kup’s memory will live on in the hearts of Penns Valley residents and the legions of travelers who enjoyed ice cream at Old Fort on hot summer days.

head for Fye’s with horns blowing and uniformed kids waving and cheering all through the town. Rob Marshall, who was raised in Centre Hall, remembers those trips well. “After every game, win or lose, we went to Fye’s,” said Marshall. “That was in 1970 to 1972.” Bill and Shirley Fye’s daughter, Jane Mothersbaugh, remembers good times and the benefits of having her father running an ice cream stand. “My friends and I would ride our bicycles down to the intersection, and Dad would treat us all to ice cream,” said Mothersbaugh. “I was sad to see the building was gone.” Mothersbaugh noted that Fye sometimes added a third flavor in addition to the traditional vanilla and chocolate. Sometimes it was strawberry or teaberry, but one time Fye added Grape Nuts breakfast cereal to the vanilla mix as an experiment. The Grape Nut ice cream was an instant hit with customers.

Looking Ahead

PSU wrestling squad eyes another national title as lineup takes shape By ANDY ELDER For the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — It’s summertime and the living is easy, as the song lyrics say. Unless you’re Penn State wrestling coach Cael Sanderson and his staff. If that’s the case, summer is a time for scouting, conducting camps and laying the groundwork for their next attempt at a national championship, which would be five in a row. There are certainly pieces in place to help. However, this will be a brave new season, one without two of the best wrestlers in Penn State and collegiate history — David Taylor and Ed Ruth. “If we could get them back another year, we’d take them. It was fun,” Sanderson said. “It was different at least the last three years, probably the past two years. The first one we weren’t expected to win. We didn’t have the best team that year; we just had a good tournament. The second year, yeah, we had a great team and a great tournament. With that one, we were way ahead. It wasn’t even close. “Year three, the expectations start coming in a little bit and things changed a little bit. Ed and David have done a great job of leading a team that was supposed to win. That’s not easy. Everyone wants to be the underdog. It’s just a different starting point. It’s exciting.” Of the 10 starters who stepped on the Chesapeake Energy mats in Oklahoma

City, seven return. That doesn’t mean, however, that all seven will return to the starting lineup. Sanderson talked about some intriguing possibilities for the lineup, but that’s all they are right now — possibilities. There are still four months until the Nittany Lions take the mat again. Lots of things could change between now and then. Here’s a weight-by-weight look at next year’s lineup:

n 125 POUNDS

Nico Megaludis is the clear favorite here. The three-time All-American has one last shot at climbing to the top of the podium after three near-misses. This season may not be his last attempt. Sanderson spoke candidly about the possibility of Megaludis redshirting the 2014-15 season, and possibly Olympic redshirting the 2015-16 season. That scenario would open the door for Jordan Conaway. “That’s not 100 percent. We’re not really sure what we’re going to do with our lineup yet. We’ve talked with Nico about having him redshirt. We have Jordan Conaway that’s right there, too. We love Conaway. We believe he would have been an All-American this year at 125 if he had had the opportunity. That’s another reason it’s been hard for us to pick up 125 pounders. We still have two years with those guys,” Sanderson said. “Nico has the opportunity to redshirt and even do an Olympic redshirt the year after. That would give Jordan two years at

PENN STATE wrestling coach Cael Sanderson speaks with several young wrestlers at a recent summer camp in Rec Hall. 125. There are options there. How hard is it to throw Nico Megaludis out there when you’ve got him? You want him out there wrestling for you. He’s a rock. He’s the lead-off guy and is so consistent. I’ve never seen him wrestle when he’s not going 100 miles per hour. That’s just how he is. What

a great lead-off guy he’s been for us.”

Spring Mills belts Lemont in County League action By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

HOUSERVILLE — Spring Mills pitcher Jordan Brennan served double duty in Sunday afternoon’s Centre County League game at Lemont’s Spring Creek Park. Brennan not only hung tough in a fiverun, 10-strikeout, complete-game performanc, he also swatted a two-RBI double that ignited the Braves to a seven-run, fourth inning rally and eventually a 10-5 victory over the defending CCBL champions. Cody Long and Kevin Conklin each had two hits in support of Brennan, while Brady Waltz chipped in with two runs batted in as Spring Mills won its seventh game against 10 losses.

“That (the double) felt good,” Brennan said. “Just wanted a base hit there because we needed runs. Had the bases juiced, but I was just thinking base hit.” Spring Mills opened the game with a run in the first inning, but Lemont came back to take the lead after an RBI single by Eric Kempton in the second and an unearned run in the third. But the Braves sent 11 batters to the plate in the fourth, swatted six hits, and scored seven runs to take an 8-2 lead. Brennan’s two-run double scored the first two runs in the inning, and then Waltz knocked in two more with another basesloaded hit. “That (the inning) was real nice,” Braves’ coach Mike Vogt said. “Seven runs. We haven’t done that much this year but

that was real nice to get that for JB. That was a good inning.” Lemont wasn’t done though. The Ducks mounted a rally of their own in the bottom of the inning. After loading the bases on two hits and a walk, Kerry Myers knocked in two runs with a single to left to make it 8-4. Matt Fry then reached on a infield error, scoring Zach Moerschbacher with the inning’s third run and putting the score at 8-5. Brennan then settled down and got the final two outs on a strikeout and a pop-up to avoid further trouble. “A little shaky,” Brennan said. “I didn’t throw as many strikes as I wanted, got a couple walks there that I let go. But overall my arm felt pretty good.” Spring Mills scored two more runs, in

the fifth and sixth, both after Lemont errors (the Ducks had four in the game). At the same time, Brennan setted down and allowed only three singles and a walk over the final three innings in the game to set the final at 10-5. For Lemont, both Kempton and Myers had three hits to lead the Duck offense, but Brennan held Lemont without an extrabase hit. “Good, solid game,” Vogt said. “We made some defensive plays there when we had to and got good, clutch hitting. We haven’t had that much this year. Scored some runs. “We need to get together here and start playing well before the playoffs. That’s what it’s all about. Come together and see what happens.”

BALL DIES AT 103

State College native Hans Larson, a PGA professional in Illinois, has reported to the Gazette that Samuel Henry “Errie” Ball, the last of the inaugural Masters field of 1934 and the PGA of America’s oldest and longest-serving member, died July 2 at Martin Hospital South in Stuart, Fla., surrounded by his family. He was 103. Larson, the PGA head golf professional at Westmoreland Country Club in Wilmette, Ill., worked at Butler National and got to know Ball, who in 1972 was the first PGA head professional and later PGA director of golf at Butler National Golf Club in Oak Brook, Ill. A native of Wales, Ball began his PGA career through the encouragement of legendary golfer Bobby Jones. Ball was elected to PGA membership on June 20, 1931, and his 83 years of service is a PGA membership record. In 2011, Ball was inducted into the PGA Golf Professional Hall of Fame. Ball taught generations of players and inspired young professionals to pursue careers as PGA members. As PGA Professional Emeritus at Willoughby Golf Club in Stuart, he often gave lessons well past his centennial birthday. “The PGA of America is saddened by the passing of Errie Ball, a professional in all aspects of life,” stated PGA of America president Ted Bishop via Larson. “Errie’s amazing career spans the legends of the game — from Harry Vardon through Tiger Woods. His longevity, according to those who knew him best, was founded upon a love of people. Each day, like each step he took on the course, was spent with purpose. We will miss him dearly, but his legacy continues to shine through the many PGA professionals he inspired to grow our game.” Ball qualified for the U.S. Open 10 times and competed in 12 PGA championships, along with two Masters and the 1936 Open Championship. He also won three Illinois PGA championships, the Illinois Open and the Illinois PGA Senior Open and Match Play Championship.

For Lynch, it’s all about the approach By BEN JONES UNIVERSITY PARK — Even on a hot morning, standing on an equally hot field, Akeel Lynch’s infectious smile makes him easy to pick out of the crowd. That smile and a positive personality have helped turn Lynch into a fan favorite despite having only seen the field on only a few occasions. Lynch carried the ball 60 times last season, roughly 16 percent of the total carries Bill Belton and Zach Zwinak had combined last year. His one touchdown came during a game that was already well in hand, and 231 of his 358 yards came during two games where Penn State outscored its opponents 79-7. So while Lynch is happy, and happy for his teammates, he continues to bubble with potential. A sophomore in terms of

eligibility, he isn’t in any danger of running out of time, but even he knows that every carry is special. Ask him if he’s antsy to get out on the field and prove his worth, he just smiles even wider. “You always have to have that mentality that each year has to be your year,” Lynch said. “That’s how you have to work. If you wait you might miss your shot. So that’s what I’m doing. I’m always working to make sure that whenever my name is called I’m ready. I learn from the guys in front of me and when Coach Huff puts me in the game I’m ready to go. “Every year I’m trying to go out and get the spot, that’s what we all try to do. That’s what Coach Huff tells us to do, to go and try and get the spot. So that’s what I’m going to try and do.” While Lynch might be in the most basic sense trying to take the starting job from

his good friends and teammates, there isn’t a lack of support in the running back room. Lynch, Belton and Zwinak are an interesting combination of personalities, but all three are as a supportive group as there is on the roster. Their collective successes make things easier for each of them, and their internal competition makes all three of them better. For Lynch, that means every carry is that much more important. A sprained MCL and a total of 14 carries over the final five games of the 2013-14 season gave him few chances to make an impression. When they say that there are no plays off, that is especially true for those looking to find a place in the game plan each week. “In high school, you know that you’re going to get all the carries,” Lynch said. “So you can take this play off, that play off, and you’re still going to be the guy. Now, it’s like you have guys behind you, guys in

front of you, you’re always on your toes. I think that’s really good because it keeps you prepared and you keep improving.” Moving forward, Lynch seems poised to be the No.1 yet again following the graduation and departure of Belton and Zwinak. After a redshirt year on the practice squad showing glimpses of what he can do during his freshman year, Lynch knows his time is coming soon. But he hasn’t forgotten about this season just yet, and the running game will be key to the success of the team in 2014. And last time Lynch checked, he was a part of that running game. “I know those guys will be gone next year and that spot will open up,” Lynch said. “And I’m working towards taking that. But each year you have to have the mindset that this year I’m trying to take that No. 1 spot. So when my time does come I’ll be ready.”

incumbent at this weight. The only thing left for Brown to do is win it all. He’s been close. He finished second as a sophomore. Now in his senior campaign, and without Chris Perry and Andrew Howe at his weight, he might just be the man to beat. “I was really happy the way he finished. He’s just got to keep wrestling. Guys don’t want to go seven minutes with him. They slow him down. He just has to keep wrestling and score,” Sanderson said. “Brown’s ready to go. He’s having a good summer. He’s just got to let it go. More like David and Ed. Those guys shoot how many times a match? That’s what it takes. It’s no secret. He’s just a guy you want to see win. You want to see him leave here happy. He’s gearing up to go for the gold now.”

“I think he was a little tentative this year. He lost a match he didn’t need to lose in the second round against the kid from Virginia Tech. “He’s going to be fine. He’s a competitor.”

StateCollege.com

Most would agree he showed flashes of the wrestler who won four PIAA titles. But, at other times, he was frustratingly inconsistent. “He wasn’t at his best this year. He knows that, we know that. Anybody who was watching knows that. He has had a good spring. I think his confidence is getting back up to where it needs to be. He has wrestled well. He wrestled well at the University Games. He beat some good guys there. He’s a guy who’s in here training all the time, all summer. He’s a guy you have to tell, ‘All right, you need to go home.’ He’s gonna be fine,” Sanderson said. “He just has to get a good start. He had a rough start last November. The kid hasn’t lost a whole lot of matches in his life, so that’s part of it. We just have to make sure he’s ready to go in November. If his weight’s good and he’s firing on all cylinders, he’ll be tough to beat. “The more he wrestles and creates flurries, he’s so fast, he’s so good, he’s so strong that he could be right there in the national championship hunt. He’s so good that coming into last season I thought we had a for-sure All-American. I’m not taking anything away from him; that’s just how good he is. We’re very confident in him.”

n 141 POUNDS

Coming off a fifth-place finish at the NCAA tournament as a freshman, Zain Retherford is the incumbent. He still has a redshirt year available, but with no clear-cut replacement, he’s the probable starter. “Zain’s just what he is. He loves what he’s doing. He’s got a heart full of gratitude just to compete. To be there every day. Just a real sound mind. He’s a competitor. He’s mean. And he’s still learning how to wrestle, how to score and attack on his feet,” Sanderson said. “He’s a good one. We’re excited about him. He did an amazing job. He steps in as a true freshman and helps us win the national tournament. Without him we weren’t winning nationals this year.”

It’s hard not to group these two weights together since the expected starters are twins Andrew and Dylan Alton. Of course, if Andrew isn’t up to the task, Zack Beitz has shown he is a more-than-capable replacement. Both Altons have battled through injury-plagued years the past two seasons. Both are expected to be at their healthiest this fall since their respective breakout freshman campaigns. “I think we’re going to find that out. I think the hunger is there. They were both wrestling so well, starting out their sophomore year. Dylan tore his shoulder in the All-Star match. He wrestled awesome in that match (against Jason Welch from Northwestern). I thought he controlled him. He looked great. When you’re not healthy, your mind’s not the same. You doubt yourself,” Sanderson said. “Andrew was wrestling very well, too, coming into that sophomore year. Coming into that year we thought he was amazing. He was so good. He hurt his ankle. He hurt his shoulder. He hasn’t been healthy. Now he’s going to be healthy. That gives him a chance to get everything else in line. It’s up to him. Andrew’s been cleared to go. Dylan’s good to go. He’s ready. He’s a little bit behind. We have high hopes. We believe in those guys. We’re excited to see them healthy. Hopefully, that gets everything else in line for them.”

Garrett Hammond. Nittany Lion fans will have to get used to that name being called at this weight. For four years it was the incomparable Taylor. Now, it’s a redshirt freshman from Chambersburg, Pa. “Right now, Hammond’s pretty much our guy,” Sanderson said. “We’re spending some time with Hammond, getting him ready to go. He’s good. He can win. He just needs to get that confidence. Don’t wait around. You can wait your whole life for confidence.”

Penn State is blessed with two potential All-Americans here but, from the sound of it, neither has shown Sanderson what he wants to see this summer. “We haven’t seen a whole lot of work out of anyone at that weight in the offseason. Last year, no one was here. This year we really haven’t seen anyone. We’ll see. It’s kind of up for grabs,” Sanderson said, pointedly. Jimmy Lawson was the starter last year until a knee injury derailed his postseason. “It’s kind of tough. You can only wrestle one guy. Hopefully one of them takes that role and steps and takes it. We want someone to claim it in November,” Sanderson said. “I think Lawson was making strides toward that on the national level. Lawson’s first year threw him out there, he still needed to re-learn how to wrestle. Lawson left football to come wrestle. We want the guy to be successful.” Bald Eagle Area grad Jon Gingrich stepped in, had a dandy of a Big Ten tournament and then went 1-2 at nationals. “Gingrich was a guy who came a long way. We watched him in his high school practice and decided not to recruit him. Then he said he wanted to come so we gave him a tryout and he came and he did a good job. Now he’s a guy who’s a potential All-American, who’s beating AllAmericans,” Sanderson said. Senior Nick Ruggear is a possibility here, too. “Ruggear the same thing. He’s a great kid. He’s been dealing with injuries to his neck and back. He didn’t get to see a lot of action last year, but he’s a potential AllAmerican, too. He’s just got to be healthy,” he said. Next week: We take a look at the 12man recruiting class that Sanderson and company have assembled.

Much like 165, this weight just won’t be the same, not without Ed Ruth. Sophomore Wes Phipps and freshman Matt McCutcheon are the favorites here. The freshman might have the edge. “Phipps did a nice job this year. He just broke his hand and had a hard time getting back. He did a great job in the BJC match,” Sanderson said. “We really like McCutcheon. He’s going to be really good for us. He’s non-stop, loves to wrestle. Very confident. He hasn’t, necessarily, had the success yet to where you’re thinking, ‘Oh, wow, we’ve got Matt McCutcheon coming in.’ But, he’s going to be really good. He’s going to wrestle for seven minutes. The kid doesn’t get tired. He doesn’t look like much. He looks like he’s small for the weight class, but he’s a tough kid and we’re excited about him.”

n 197 POUNDS

After a disappointing freshman season, then a redshirt year, Morgan McIntosh started living up to his No. 1 overall ranking he carried with him from California. His seventh-place finish, however, wasn’t what most people expected. “Morgan’s got to just keep getting better and stay big. He’s got the ability to win the weight class as well as anybody else. He’s gotta go get it,” Sanderson said.

Lift for Life gets bigger — and better

UNIVERSITY PARK — The 12th annual Lift For Life at the Penn State Lacrosse Complex on Saturday afternoon was by all accounts another unqualified success. Beautiful weather, lots of enthusiasm from the PSU football players, and likely another fundraising record for the Lift For Life organization. Although keeping up with the score was Pat Rothdeutsch perhaps even covers sports for more diffiThe Centre County cult than at Gazette. Email him one of Bill at sports@ O’Brien’s centrecounty Blue-White gazette.com g a m e s , someone was keeping track. The final score was Offense 30, Defense 24. Not that the score matters very much. The real winners were the charities that will receive the money raised through the efforts of the players and their many fans and supporters. Lift for Life was founded 12 years ago by a group of Penn State players who were led by former wide receiver Scott Shirley.

PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

Shirley’s father was diagnosed with a rare form of kidney cancer, and he had the idea that all the hard work the players put into lifting weights could be used as a fundraiser to help with research into what was then a little understood illness. “For those fans who are here for the first time,” Shirley said, “this started in 2003 when my father was diagnosed with kidney cancer. We learned that nothing could be done because it was a very rare disease. Twelve years later my father is no longer with us, but we have helped new drugs being brought to market and we have kidney cancer patients living a lot longer across the country. “We’ve taken this culture from Penn State and spread it throughout the entire college football landscape. I don’t know if you here today realize how much of an impact you have made with your participation today; it has really changed the world. “And that’s what makes Penn State such a special place, with all of these fans helping to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars. There’s nothing else like it.” The final tallies for this year are not in yet, but the 12-year total is approaching the $1 million mark. Chapter president Ben Kline said that with some fundraisers yet to come, that mark could be surpassed this fall. “This really means a lot to

LIFT FOR LIFE, which was held Saturday at the Penn State Lacrosse Fields, was another huge success. It has become a rite of summer for many fans. me,” Shirley added, “and to my family, and it really means a lot to the Kidney Cancer Association and kidney cancer patients across the country.” Kline, who is injured and was riding around the events in a golf cart, heads a board of directors that oversees Lift for Life. After the competition, he accepted checks from donors and sponsors, and he also expressed his deep appreciation for everyone involved in the event. There was, of course, lots of

talk about football with players such as Bill Belton, Christian Hackenberg, Miles Diffenbach, Adam Breneman, Mike Hull and many others. Yes, the summer workouts went very well, and everyone is working extremely hard. The freshmen are fitting in nicely and will be learning the new systems along with the veterans. And everyone is excited about the opening of training camp next month. But this was a day for the football team to get together and give

back to the community, the same way that Thon is a way for the entire student body to give back. A million dollars goes a long way toward helping people in need and funding research. So it is a win-win all the way around. The players have some fun and culminate their summer work with an event that helps many people. By the way, donations can still be made.

Arts & Entertainment

California sculptor turns fine sand into fine art By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — While most people in town for the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts enjoyed the selection of art, food and live music, Greg Glenn spent hours in the hot sun slowly forming 25 tons of sand into the shape of a rhinoceros. Glenn says his sculpture is an interpretation of an illustration by James Christensen, one his favorite artists. The rhinoceros emerged from the earth beneath it in the Sidney Friedman Park, detailed with intricate lines that resembled a set of armor. Beside it lay a toppled sand column, while two birds rested upon its massive, arched back. State College resident Cindy Warming, looking in awe at the sculpture, said it’s “really spectacular to think that anyone can do that with just sand.” “I love how he feels like he (the rhinoceros) has a personality, like he’s peeking out at you,” Warming said. Glenn is no stranger to transforming piles of sand into works of art. Having grown up on the beaches of California, he’d been participating in sand sculpture tournaments for fun since the early 1980s. After “an explosion in (sand sculpting’s) popularity for entertainment,” Glenn

found himself working as a professional sculptor, turning fine grains of sand into fine works of art at fairs and festivals all over the country. Everywhere he goes, Glenn uses tons of local sand to create his artwork. He says the Pennsylvanian sand he’s been working with since Wednesday “isn’t an especially strong sand,” and has required extra care. “It’s very touchy to do this kind of work,” Glenn said. “There’s a lot of finesse and a lot of engineering involved.” While Glenn says sand “is not very forgiving” of mistakes as a sculptural material, it offers a kind of immediacy that more permanent materials like stone or metal lack. Instead of spending up to a year working on a single sculpture, Glenn watches an entire monument come together and fall apart over the span of mere days. “For some reason, I love the impermanence of working with sand,” he said. “Either you’re here and you see it or you don’t. Either way, it’s not coming back.” Though Glenn’s rhino won’t be back once the Arts Fest ends, Glenn has attended for years to create his sculptures, making him a favorite at the annual celebration. “Every year it’s just amazing the things they manage to make out of sand,” Dianne Leri, of Spruce Creek, said. Glenn seemed glad to be an Arts Fest favorite. Though he spends much of his career at similar festivals, he said

GREG GLENN, of California, spends hours making sand sculptures. His work was a highlight of the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts in State College last week.

the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts “is probably the best one that I go to.” “State College is just a really nice town,” Glenn said. “Having a festival like this really helps keeps the place feeling vibrant.”

Music professor pens new Stravinsky book By LYNN DRAFALL Special to the Gazette

LOCAL MUSICIANS Jason McIntyre and Junior Tutwiler are releasing their first album, “Miles.” A release party will be held at the Elk Creek Cafe on July 20.

Jmac and Junior announce first album

MILLHEIM — Jmac and Junior, the local duo made up of musicians Jason McIntyre and Junior Tutwiler, will release their first album, “Miles,” at 5 p.m., on Sunday, July 20, at the Elk Creek Café. This event will feature the pair joined by other local musical favorites. “Miles” is a melding of both McIntyre and Tutwiler’s talents, creating an album that has an Americana bloodline with a modern resonance. Tracks such as “Things You Said” and “Stop Breaking Down” connect to a rollicking, down-home soul, while the lyrics are sincere and grounded. In 2003, Jmac and Junior was formed when McIntyre and Tutwiler teamed up and started playing gigs around central Pennsylvania. They did covers of classic tunes by The Band, Tom Petty, Muddy Wa-

ters and other influential artists. After honing their craft in the local bar scene, the pair pulled in a few more musicians to form the alternative-country band The Rustlanders. After releasing a self-titled debut album, The Rustlanders toured the country establishing a presence with other national acts, including Grammywinning songwriter Ryan Bingham, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, John Fogerty and Keith Urban. In 2010, The Rustlanders disbanded, after which McIntyre and Tutwiler continued to collaborate and entertain local audiences. “Miles” was recorded at Hickory Lane Studio in Lemont. Jmac and Junior will tour to support the album, playing in Los Angeles, New York, Nashville, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Distinguished professor of music Maureen Carr’s most recent book, “After the Rite: Stravinsky’s Path to Neoclassicism (1914-1925),” recently was released by Oxford University Press. The book traces the evolution of Stravinsky’s compositional style as he searched for his own voice in the explosive musical world of the early 20th century, when there was harsh criticism of his work. The riot that erupted during the 1913 debut of Stravinsky’s “The Rite of Spring” at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris has long been one of the most infamous and intriguing events of modern musical history. The third in a series of works commissioned for Sergei Diaghalev’s famed Ballets Russes, the piece combined disjunct tonalities, provocative rhythms and radical choreography that threw spectators and critics into a literal fury. Throughout the book, Carr presents new transcriptions and sophisticated analyses of selected musical sketches to show the genesis of Stravinsky’s musical ideas as he forayed into surrealism, classicism and abstraction to develop his signature neo-

classical style. Exploring these annotated compositional experiments — such as the earliest evidence of Stravinsky’s appropriation of the “rag idiom” and the development of his so-called “sound blocks” — “After the Rite” provides new insight into how Stravinsky challenged and guided the musical developments of the decade after that legendary Paris premiere. “After the Rite” was published with the support of the Otto Kinkeldey Endowment of the American Musicological Society, funded in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Carr’s previous writings on Stravinsky include “Multiple Masks: Neoclassicism in Stravinsky’s Works on Greek Subjects” and “Stravinsky’s Histoire du soldat: A Facsimile of the Sketches.” Her most recent publication, “Stravinsky’s Pulcinella: A Facsimile of the Sources and Sketches,” received a Citation of Special Merit from the Society for Music Theory.

Beatles encyclopedia published ALTOONA — Kenneth Womack’s book, “The Beatles Encyclopedia: Everything Fab Four,” was recently published in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the band’s triumphant first visit to the United States. Womack serves as Penn State Altoona’s senior associate dean for academic affairs and as professor of English and integrative arts. Published in two volumes, the encyclopedia provides casual fans and aficionados alike with a comprehensive study of the his-

torical, cultural and musical influence of The Beatles, providing hundreds of insightful entries that address the people, places, events and other details that have contributed to the band’s status as a global phenomena. Womack also is the author or editor of numerous works of nonfiction, including “Long and Winding Roads: The Evolving Artistry of The Beatles” and “The Cambridge Companion to The Beatles,” which was named as The Independent’s Music Book of the Year.

The show’s name is derived from its two emblematic creatures: the dragon, symbolizing the East, and the lion, symbolizing the West.

Ag Progress Days to feature safety, health presentations UNIVERSITY PARK — Visitors to the Farm Safety Demonstration Area at Penn State’s Ag Progress Days, Tuesday, Aug. 12, through Thursday, Aug. 14, can learn about tractor overturn hazards and how to reduce the risks of tractor overturns. Aimed at both youth and adults, 20-minute safety demonstrations will take place on Tuesday and Thursday at 10:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. On Wednesday, farm accident rescue simulations involving agricultural equipment — including demonstration of emergency scene stabilization and patientextrication techniques — will take place at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Attendees can get information about several types of farm safety programs and agricultural emergency response resources from on-site specialists all three days. Also on Wednesday, the Farm Safety and Health Quiz Bowl will be held in the Farm Family Learning Building Center, located off of Main Street just below the Pasto Museum. The 4-H youth members will compete at 9:30 a.m. and the FFA youth will compete at 1 p.m. “Youth will answer farm safety and health questions in this semifinal quiz bowl event,” said Dennis Murphy, Nationwide Insurance Professor of Agricultural Safety and Health. “The winning teams will advance to the state finals in January at the Pennsylvania Farm Show.” Visitors to the Rural Health and Safety Tent, at the end of West Sixth Street adjacent to the farm safety area, will be able to take advantage of a variety of health screenings and information. Free vision screenings and blood pressure readings will be offered from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

PENN STATE’S Ag Progress Days will begin on Aug. 12. The annual event draws thousands of visitors to The Russell E. Larson Agricultural Research Center. daily. On Wednesday only, starting at 10 a.m., free tetanus shots will be given while supplies last. And, visitors can learn about AgrAbility services. One core pesticide credit can

be earned by attending a 30-minute presentation about personal protective equipment. The presentation will be conducted by a rural health farm worker protection safety specialist at 11 a.m.

Businesses work with students to assess energy usage in facilities UNIVERSITY PARK — Executives at Kurtz Brothers in Clearfield have built a strong relationship over time with the Pennsylvania Technical Assistance Program. The distributor of school supplies, equipment and furniture recently opened its doors to a group of students who conducted an energy audit of the facility. The students discovered two minor leaks in the company’s compressed air system. Monty Kunes, Kurtz Brothers president and CEO, said one of the leaks would have been difficult to detect without the group’s specialized equipment and he suspected the machine would have continued to leak air unnoticed if it weren’t for the energy engineering students who visited the plant as part of their class. “It’s a win-win for us,” said Kunes. “It’s a learning experience for the students and Kurtz Brothers receives a full, extensive report of what they discovered. Their analysis will help us improve our systems and become more energy efficient.” Many of Jonathan Wise’s energy engineering classes focused on the global overview of energy issues. He wanted to complement those research-based courses with a practical, team-based opportunity as part of his required energy research project. So he enrolled in in the energy engineering class and found himself wielding a specialized leak detection gun for PennTAP. “It’s a class that attempts to incorporate concepts learned over the years, utilizing that information for problem solving, and I definitely feel this PennTAP project has done that,” Wise said. “A lot of what we have learned in the classroom has manifested into real world experience.”

The students used high-tech tools to detect leaks that might be wasting energy in the manufacturer’s compressed air system. It’s a free service for Kurtz Brothers and other Pennsylvania companies — facilitated by PennTAP — and designed to be mutually beneficial to the manufacturer and the student. It’s just one example of how PennTAP helps Pennsylvania companies every day. According to its annual report, PennTAP provided 273 cases of technical assistance to clients across the commonwealth in 2013. Clients have reported more than $7.7 million in economic impact and 72 jobs created or retained. And many Penn State students are now involved with projects across the state. “This is a chance to get students into real world applications, where they apply the principles they learn in class and put their theories into practice,” said Denise Bechdel, energy, environment and worker health team lead for PennTAP. “This will prepare students to be tomorrow’s sustainability leaders.” Sarma Pisupati, associate professor of energy and mineral engineering, is the faculty mentor for the class. He said many budding engineers have not seen fully operational manufacturing facilities in person and PennTAP provides an opportunity for them to work directly with the professionals who run those plants for a learning experience beyond the classroom. “Although the students know the theories to some extent, it’s always good to have guidance from a PennTAP expert,” said Pisupati. “This really works out well in both training engineers and helping industry solve its problems.”

and 2 p.m. daily. Sponsored by Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences, Ag Progress Days is held at the Russell E. Larson Agricultural Research Center at Rock Springs,

nine miles southwest of State College on Route 45. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday. Admission and parking are free.

Penn State alumna honored by D.C. association BETHESDA, Md. — The National Association of Women Business Owners Greater D.C. has honored Renee Lewis, president, CEO and co-founder of the Bethesda, Md.-based consulting firm Pensare Group, as one of three finalists with its 2014 Woman of Distinction Award. Lewis received her degree in manenvironment relations from Penn State in 1985. NAWBO’s Woman of Distinction Award recognizes women in the greater D.C. area who advance women’s business in a meaningful way. Qualifying candidates are female business owners or decision-making executives responsible for business performance, or a woman whose work advances and/or enables women’s business. “The Woman of Distinction Award acknowledges women whose actions are benefiting the members of NAWBO Greater D.C. as well as other women business owners around the Beltway and beyond,” said Jennifer Brand, president of NAWBO Greater D.C. “It’s an important way for us to show appreciation for women in our community who are doing remarkable things to advance women’s business and enabling others to do the same.” “Renee is not only an extraordinary leader who exemplifies our chapter’s commitment to empowering women entrepreneurs, but she is also an inspiration to our Greater D.C. community,” said Mina Fies, chair of the award committee and president-elect for the chapter. “I am honored and thrilled to receive this award,” said Lewis, who has more than 25 years of experience building successful

technical organizations and businesses. “I love to work with inspired business leaders who know they can do more with what they have but don’t have the time to invest to realize that potential. I have always leveraged my love of software engineering principles, focused on designing for efficiency and effectiveness, with getting things done through others.” Five years ago, Lewis also co-founded the nonprofit Path Forward Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship to house its nine-year-old flagship program called ACTiVATE, which supports development of women entrepreneurs in technologybased businesses. Focusing on international needs for women entrepreneurs, she supported, via Meridian International, a delegation to South Africa to help local women recognize personal and community growth through entrepreneurship and helped, via Vital Voices, the Business Women Network of the Middle East North Africa establish an organization supporting cross commerce for women-owned businesses throughout that region. Lewis is active on a number of boards including PMI Registered Consultant Program and GW Alumnae Association. She also assists with a variety of business plan competitions, is a private investor in several women-owned businesses supporting advanced technologies and belongs to the Mountain Maryland Angel Investment Group, which is designed to draw in economic development for Garrett County through entrepreneurship.
