Field on track to open in August By NATHAN PIPENBERG
correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — State High’s fall sporting events, except for a few pre-season scrimmages, should take place at Memorial Field this year, which is set for “substantial completion” by Aug. 23. Director of Physical Plant Ed Poprik told school directors Monday that the $3 million construction project on the field will be completed as scheduled, despite heavy rains and powerful storms that hampered construction over the summer. “The crew was using equipment to hold CHRIS MORELLI/The Gazette pipes down so the stormwater wouldn’t blow them out of the ground,” Poprik told IN THE WORKS: According to State College the State College Area School District Board Area High School officials, Memorial Field of Directors. will be ready for the Little Lions 2013 In late June, a retaining wall crumbled to football season. the ground after more than 3 inches of rain
poured down in one day. But the damage wasn’t a huge setback. “It was scheduled to be removed, but came down prematurely with Mother Nature’s help,” Poprik said. He added that the storms slowed construction, but also proved that the drainage system for the field is working properly. “At 6 p.m. the field could be flooded, and by 7:15 the water drained and the field could be used,” Poprik said. The improved drainage is due in part to repairs to a sinkhole under the east bleachers, a portion of the construction project that was completed in May. Still, the storms also provided planners with evidence of features that would be impractical due to flood risk. “Field-level locker rooms aren’t going to be realistic,” board member Jim Pawelczyk said.
By August, the west bleachers, new turf and new lighting will be installed. The project is slated to reach “final completion” by Sept. 13, when temporary bleachers on the east side of the stadium will be replaced with permanent seating. Fraser Street will also be reopened when the project is completed. The sidewalk near the field will be replaced by an engraved brick walkway, that will be partially funded through a “buy-a-brick” campaign. Penni Fishbaine, the school board president, said the final price tag for the renovations, about $3 million, was a reasonable expense. “This was a lot or work for $3 million,” she said. “It’s the only lighted field in the district, and it’s used by students till 10 p.m.” Field, Page 5
Annual Lift for Life shatters record By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH
sports@centrecountygazette.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Last Friday afternoon, the Penn State football team took on a foe that is far more insidious than anything the Nittany Lions will face in the Big Ten. More than 100 players on the team, from fifth-year seniors to just-arrived freshmen recruits, participated in the 11th annual Lift For Life benefiting the fight against kidney cancer. Since its inception, Lift For Life has raised more than $800,000 for the cause, and this year’s total as of Sunday night topped $133,000 (a record) and is still growing.
Founded by Penn State Football teammates Scott Shirley, Dave Costlow and Damone Jones in 2003, Lift For Life builds awareness and raises funds for the Kidney Cancer Association. The event is organized by Penn State Football Uplifting Athletes, whose members are on the Penn State football team, led this year by chapter president and senior offensive lineman Eric Shrive. “Lift For Life has become a great tradition where Penn State Football and our fans are able to raise more than $100,000 annually for kidney cancer patients and Lift, Page 5 CHRIS MORELLI/The Gazette

STATE COLLEGE — Traveling from far and wide, Arts Fest attendees have many different reasons for visiting the festival each year, from love of art to the overall experience. The 2013 Central Pennsylva-
nia Festival of the Arts, held July 11 through 14 in downtown State College, drew in people from different corners of the state and beyond, many of them repeat guests for more than 20 years. “It’s just a nice experience in general,” said Kristyn Lederer, of Pennsburg. A visitor for 41 years, Lederer
said she comes with her three kids and niece and nephew for Children and Youth Day Wednesday, and leaves Friday. One aspect of the festival Lederer enjoys most, she said, is the kid-friendly nature of the artists and vendors. Arts Fest, Page 6

Police activity over Arts Fest down ‘substantially’ STATE COLLEGE — The State College Police received 100 less calls between Wednesday and Sunday than they did during the 2012 Arts Festival. Police say the activity was down significantly on Wednesday and Thursday, Friday was busy and Saturday and Sunday were standard. Non-traffic citations totaled only 63, police say, with 15 individuals being cited for underage drinking and 14 were cited for having an open container. There were 11 people cited for public urination, 10 people cited for public drunkenness and three people cited for criminal mischief. Police cited two individuals each for loud noise, fighting, having a fake ID and for throwing various items. One person was cited for trespassing and another person was cited for harassment. Police cited six people for driving under the influence and 12 people required med-
ical assistance. Early Saturday morning, police arrested a Penn State commit, Zayd Issah, for resisting arrest, marijuana possession and aggravated assault, according to court documents. The aggravated assault is graded as a felony. Issah attempted to flee from police, according to the criminal complaint. It took four officers to take Issah into custody, police say. Two officers sustained injuries and one was treated at Mount Nittany Medical Center. The marijuana was discovered in Issah’s pocket when he was searched. Issah was arraigned at 7 a.m. Saturday and was unable to post the $20,000 bail so he was taken to the Centre County Correctional Facility. He had a preliminary hearing scheduled for this week. — StateCollege.com

Penn State officials receive preliminary Clery report By MARK SCOLFORO and PHILIP ELLIOTT The Associated Press
HARRISBURG — Penn State has received a preliminary report from the federal government regarding whether its handling of the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal complied with campus crime reporting requirements, the university said Monday. The school said that neither it nor the U.S. Department of Education was permitted under the law to release information about the report at this time, but that details will be made public after the federal agency finishes its review and makes a final determination. Pennsylvania prosecutors have alleged that high-ranking university officials failed to properly report suspected abuse of children by Sandusky, a retired assistant football coach who was convicted a year ago of 45 counts of child sexual abuse. Penn State said school officials have given federal reviewers access to the records and information they have requested to see whether the school complied with a 1990 U.S. law called the Clery Act. The law, named for Jeanne Clery, a 19-year-old
Lehigh University freshman who was raped and killed in a campus residence hall in 1986, requires universities to publish annual reports and maintain a daily crime log. Violations of the law can result in a school losing its authority to offer federal student aid, and although that has never happened, the nature of the allegations against Penn State was unprecedented and had many of the school’s strongest allies concerned. The Education Department has leveled fines, however, of up to $27,500 per violation. Hundreds of millions of dollars in student aid could be at stake. In the year that ended June 30, 2012, Penn State benefited from $577 million in direct federal loans, $85 million in Pell and Teach grants and $16 million in work-study and Perkins loans. “The department can impose fairly substantial fines but they have never elected to take student financial aid away from current students because the institution failed to act in the past. I think that’s very unlikely,” said Terry Hartle, a top official with colleges’ lobbying operation at the American Council on Education. And don’t expect clarity by the time students return to campus this fall, he added.
The Education Department took more than four years to complete its report after the Virginia Tech shooting and this one will similarly be decided slowly and behind the scenes. “By definition, this process is expected to be confidential. It’s in everybody’s interest that this is the case,” Hartle said. “Neither institution wants this process to be taking place in public.” The university said it has hired a fulltime employee to help it comply with the Clery Act. The contents of the Education Department’s report were closely held. The law that governs the review process prescribes secrecy ahead of the report’s final draft. Given the report’s preliminary nature — and the university’s potential to reshape it — no one was rushing to share the initial findings. Lawmakers on Capitol Hill were expected to heavily pressure the department once the findings become public. Given the school’s high profile in Pennsylvania and the potential impact of the Education Department’s report, lawmakers were expected to consult with officials on what penalties could be prescribed for the university.

Amish tradition, gas drilling collide in Northeast By JULIE CARR SMYTH Associated Press
BALTIC, Ohio — In parts of Ohio and Pennsylvania where horse-drawn buggies clip-clop at the pace of a bygone era, Amish communities are debating a new temptation — the large cash royalties that can come with the boom in oil and gas drilling. In some ways, Amish attitudes toward hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, are as different from the outside world as their clothes and traditions. Instead of worries about air and water pollution, they’re focusing on people’s souls. “Amish are no different than anybody else. The power of big money can bring spiritual corruption,” said Jerry Schlabach, an Amish resident of Berlin, Ohio. “If we can keep our values and adhere to biblical principle, then it can be a very positive thing,” he said. Reuben Troyer, who recently signed a drilling lease for his 140-acre farm just east of the market town of New Bedford, Ohio, said he feels comfortable with the process itself. “I guess I feel they know what they’re doing, and they’ll take care of themselves,” Troyer said. The stakes can be huge. While oil and gas wells have been common in parts of Ohio and Pennsylvania for more than 100 years, they typically didn’t lead to huge payments to landowners. But over the past few years, fracking has led to bigger wells that can generate hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of dollars in royalties for a property holder. During fracking, large volumes of water, along with sand and hazardous chemicals, are injected underground to break rock apart and free the oil and gas. The process has led to a boom in energy production in many states, but also concerns about air and water pollution. Along the narrow bending roads of Amish country in Ohio and Pennsylvania, many families are sitting atop valuable deposits of oil and natural gas locked in the Utica and Marcellus shale rock formations. They tend to view the wells as a part of life and look forward to the added income a lease can bring. Local leaders in Ohio say nearly every farmer in the region has an old oil well, so it was no surprise when energy companies came knocking to drill bigger, more lucrative shale wells. About 45 percent of the nation’s Amish population is concentrated in Ohio and Pennsylvania, with 63,000 in each state out of a total of 280,000 nationwide. The Amish trace their roots to the Protestant Reformation and restrict interactions with the modern world and technology. They dress plainly, don’t hold political office and are conscientious objectors during wars. Historian Donald B. Kraybill said that some Amish accept drilling partly because they “have a strong sense of
God’s creation,” and that includes oil and natural gas. “If they can find ways to capitalize on the resources under the ground, they don’t see a problem with that,” he said. To the Amish, Schlabach said, “the world was created for the benefit of man. And nature, as we see it, is made to be used as long as it’s kept in proper perspective.” For Susan Mast, an Amish wife and mother, the issue hit close to home last summer, when an energy company purchased land adjacent to their quiet, well-manicured Ohio farm near the village of Baltic and began fracking. “It’s not as noisy as we thought it would be,” said Mast, who has seven children. The well, on land owned by her parents, is in production now, but she said the drilling phase didn’t bother the youngsters. “They enjoyed watching what was going on,” she said. But there are some practical concerns about all the industrial activity that comes with the recent shale drilling. “I’m not excited about it, with all the traffic, with all the horses,” said Melvin Yoder, who owns a 58-acre farm in central Ohio. Kraybill noted that rules vary widely among Amish communities, but that there is “considerable concern” among church leaders that drilling money could create huge income disparities within the same community. The concerns over the effects of fracking extend to other energy sources, too. In New Wilmington, several Amish men and women said their community doesn’t permit solar panels, though some people are signing gas leases. Kraybill, co-author of the new book “The Amish,” said he wasn’t surprised to hear that traditional communities like New Wilmington have concerns over solar power since the Amish “are reticent to display things or have public displays of the technology” and are cautious about electricity. Sam Stoltzfus, an Amish farmer in Gordonville, said that there was some resistance at first to solar power there,

but that it’s widely used now. On the issue of gas drilling leases, Stoltzfus said outsiders often overlook some important facts about the Amish lifestyle. “It doesn’t matter where you go in America, if a farmer doesn’t have some sort of subsidy, he is not going to be able to survive,” Stoltzfus said, adding that a gas drilling boom in Danville, about two hours north, helped the Amish communities there by generating considerable carpentry and repair work. And the Amish value work for more than the income it brings, Schlabach said. “Human beings are by nature lazy. Free money basically equals free time,” he said. “Idleness is the devil’s workshop.” Still, Schlabach hopes that strong Amish family and church traditions will enable people to use fracking wealth wisely, perhaps even to help start new communities in other states. “Use it to help others rather than consuming it on yourself,” Schlabach said. “Life doesn’t consist of your possessions. Possessions are nothing, and it is what you do for other people that lasts.” But whether the fracking boom helps or hurts the Amish is up to the community itself, he said, since it’s just another chapter in an ongoing struggle to maintain their beliefs in a fast-moving, modern world. “The inflow of all the money is going to really expose the spiritual level of the community,” Schlabach said. “If it does corrupt in a big way, then we know we have drifted spiritually.”

Displaced tenants seek out services at municipal building By LAURA NICHOLS StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — They have a long road ahead, but the 40 tenants left homeless and in need after a three-alarm fire ravaged an apartment complex at Waupelani Drive gathered at the Municipal Building on Monday as community groups reached out to help. Meetings were held from 9 a.m. to noon and from 3-6 p.m. in Room 201 of the Municipal Building, 243 S. Allen St. Representatives from various community groups had tables set up to speak with residents and offer their services. Groups in attendance included the Centre County Office of Adult Services, Interfaith Human Services, Housing Transitions and Centre County Children and Youth Services. Representatives from Penn State also attended the meeting to offer their assistance to the many graduate students who lost homes in the fire. Hee Jung is a graduate student working toward his doctoral degree in electrical engineering. He said the groups are trying to help and match what he and his fellow tenants have lost, but it is still difficult for some of the residents to get back on their feet. “Waupelani Heights is a low-income apartment, and our monthly rent is so low compared to other apartment complexes,” Jung said. “They tried to match it, but with our needs, it’s unfortunately kind of hard for them.” Ruth Donahue, executive director at Interfaith Human Services, said the organiza-
tions involved are trying to act as a “community safety net,” and about 15 groups come together when tragedy strikes. Interfaith was working to identify the needs of the tenants and making sure they stay connected with them until they’re better off. Interfaith, which is celebrating 45 years of serving the community, also provides rental assistance for those who need it. “We have a displaced residents fund and people in the community have been very generous,” Donahue said. “We’ve received over $35,000 in that fund and have distributed back to the families over $25,000 of that.” “It would be wonderful if there was ever a day where our services weren’t needed, but there are always going to be events that are unexpected that happen and people who face difficult times,” Donahue said. Romaine Naylor is the emergency response specialist with the State College branch of the Red Cross and was integral in organizing Monday’s meetings. At 9 a.m., a table was piled high with toys for children who lost theirs in the fire. By 11:30 a.m., there were only a few bags left. Naylor said she’s happy so many residents came out to seek help. “What we set up today is what we’ve been calling out one-stop shop. It’s all the in-service agencies together, in one room, so that the clients can come through so that as we talk to them and identify their unmet needs we can refer them right then and there,” Naylor said. “They don’t have to run around to different offices and tell their story over and over and over again.” Naylor said there has been a significant

There were 19 units that were not able to be salvaged after the fire. In February, the State College area lost the Hilltop Mobile Home Park when the land was sold, eliminating more affordable housing. “This has been a wonderful group of people to work with. They’ve been very
cooperative, they’ve been very proactive in trying to get out there and find a place to live,” Naylor said. “It’s just going to take a while.” Last week, Steve Bair, fire director of the Centre Region Council of Governments, said a preliminary investigation revealed a grilling incident on a second-floor balcony caused the fire. It was ruled an accident but the investigation is ongoing.
Fraser Centre gets another push forward from council By LAURA NICHOLS StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — The long-awaited Fraser Centre is gaining traction. The State College Borough Council voted to approve a modified conditional use permit as requested by the developer, Jack Kay of Susquehanna Real Estate. Council had to take a vote at its regular meeting Monday night because the Fraser Centre was forced to undergo a drastic redesign last year. Originally, developers were

going to collaborate with Penn State and a cinema company to put a movie theater on the ground floor, but Penn State and the theater chain pulled its commitment. Now, Kay says a major luxury hotel chain will go in that spot, though he hasn’t revealed which one it is just yet. Kay said at a July 1 meeting that should the council push his permit request through, construction on the Fraser Centre could begin as soon as November. The Fraser Centre will be a 250,000-square-foot, 155-foot-tall high-rise with retail shops, commercial offices and luxury condominiums – that won’t be marketed to students – in addition to the hotel. Kay also asked for the modification so he could make the building 10 feet higher

MAJORITY SUPPORTS RENOVATIONS ON WESTERLY PARKWAY, ACCORDING TO STUDY
Three separate plans for renovating the State College Area High School, each with a price tag of about $100 million, were supported by the majority of respondents to a survey taken in May. The results of the survey were released and discussed at the school’s board of directors meeting Monday night. The survey asked respondents to rate their support for six different plans for renovations to the school. Of those, three were reviewed favorably by more than 50 percent of those who responded. Concept B would have renovations and additions to both the North and South buildings, and feature a walkway across Westerly Parkway. This concept had support from 70 percent of those surveyed. Concept D, which would move all classrooms to the South building and keep athletic facilities on the North side, had 61 percent support. Concept E is a plan for construction of a new school within two miles of the current school, which received 51 percent support. The survey was conducted by Social Science Research Solutions, the same company that takes surveys for CBS and the New York Times. The company mailed the survey to 6,751 households, and received responses from 1,857 residents. Of those, 1,667 reported to being registered voters, and only these respondents were factored into the findings. The margin of error for the survey was 2.4 percent. The survey was weighted to reflect differences in demographics, including the high number of Penn State students who live in the State College Borough and are unlikely to vote, said David Dutwin, the chief methodologist for SSRS. According to the results, 55 percent of residents would support spending $100 million on the renovation project, and 43 percent would support spending $110 million. Five percent did not support spending anything on renovations, and 14 percent said they needed more information. However, as board member Laurel Zydney pointed out, respondents supported a lower overall cost when asked what level of tax increase they would support. A majority supported a 5 percent increase, which would result in a total of less than $100 million. Board member Jim Pawelczyk said that the survey revealed a “sweet spot” in the upper $90 million range that a majority of residents would support paying for with a tax increase. “This shows tremendous community interest in the investment,” he said, noting the increase in support since 2008, when a similar survey had support for about $70 million in renovations. The board plans to eliminate the three options without majority support at it’s meeting next week. By Sept. 9, the board plans to narrow down to a single option and a estimated budget, with input from the public at community forums that will begin Aug. 13 and run through March 2014. In May 2014, the final project will be put to vote, as a referendum during the primary election.

PENN STATE players participate in the tug of war during Friday’s Lift for Life on the Penn State campus. Lift, from page 1 research,” Shrive said. “I couldn’t be prouder to be a part of such a great tradition.” Held at the Penn State Lacrosse Complex, this year’s fundraiser matched the defense against the offense in five different strength and agility events with points awarded to each side based on its performance. The defense jumped out to a commanding 73-30 lead after the first event — the obstacle course — and was never threatened on the way to a 220-152 victory. The other events, a sled push-and-pull, 100-pound sand bag stack, keg-carry (150 pounds) and tug of war were much closer, but the defense won two of the three tug of wars to secure the victory. Not that any of that really mattered. Organized and designed by PSU strength and conditioning coach Craig Fitzgerald, the whole event was essentially a conditioning session for the team. Broken into groups called the jets, (running backs, wide receivers, defensive backs), the bombers, (fullbacks, tight ends, linebackers, and quarterbacks), and the tanks (offensive and defensive linemen), the players went through the drills with their groups and were awarded points based on their results. The keg carry, with a 150-pound sand-filled keg, looked particularly evil. The players had to pick it up, run about 20 yards around a cone, and then sprint back to the starting line. Some struggled with the weight, but others, mostly

tanks, had no problem. Running back Zach Zwinak, recovering from a wrist injury, carried it with one arm. What did matter was the amount of funds raised and the potential good the money would do for patients and researchers. Shirley was in attendance, and he was impressed how far his original idea has progressed. “I can’t say enough how every year, this gets bigger and better with more of you sitting out there,” he said. “What started here in State College has now spread to 21 campuses around the country. There is a lot of talk about one team, and that is exactly what this is. Here in State College we are one team, and around the country Uplifting Athletes is one team, fighting over 7,000 rare diseases that affect 30 million Americans. “I can’t say enough, and thanks for having me here. You guys blew me away, and let’s take care of business here in the fall.” Former State College High running back Jack Haffner, now a sophomore on the Nittany Lion team, competed for the offense, but he also had his eye on the bigger goals of Lift For Life. “This is a great event,” he said. “It’s a great cause, helping to fight kidney cancer. It’s great that all these people come out.” Haffner and his teammates spend quite a bit of time on conditioning, and for them to turn that effort into something that benefits people far less fortunate that they are is what makes Lift For Life as successful as it is.

AUDREY HENRY, 2 , of Lewistown, plays in the sprinklers on Saturday evening at the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts. Audrey cooled off while her father, Kevin Henry, watched. Arts Fest, from page 1 “(They’re) great for the kids,â€? she said, explaining that many of them take the time to show the children how certain items are made. Diane Griffiths, of Lebanon, Pa., said this year is her fourth year attending the festival. “I like the fact that it’s outdoors,â€? she said. Griffiths, who said she is a regular at many different types of art festivals, said she appreciates the varied arts and crafts at the festival, and thinks the prices are reasonable. “And the people are very friendly,â€? she added. Muncy residents Patricia and Harrison McCormick traveled one and a half hours for Arts Fest, they said, and have been coming on and off for about 28 years. “(We’re) just here for the arts,â€? Harrison McCormick said. “I like the setting ‌ the whole scene.â€? While Patricia McCormick agrees that the overall experience of Arts Fest is something to be admired, she particularly looks forward to seeing the painting, ceramics and jewelry vendors, she said.
State College resident Nada Ottenstein started attending Arts Fest some 40 years ago. This year she spent Thursday volunteering at one of the information booths. “I’ve been doing this for many years,� she said. Divided into two-hour time slots, Ottenstein said as a volunteer she sells water and Arts Fest buttons, and assists people by giving information and answering questions about vendors. Some of the most common inquiries, she said, regard those on the search for food or bathrooms. “I like being helpful to people,� she said. Ottenstein, who volunteered through the Jewish Community Center-Congregation Brit Shalom, said a refreshing part of Arts Fest is being able to walk around without worry of cars. “I love walking down streets where I don’t have to have any concern about traffic,� she said. In its 47th year, the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts features presentations of diverse, high-quality visual and performing arts through the cooperative volunteer support of the community and Penn State, according to its website. For more information visit www.artsfestival.com.
Werner’s booth was swarmed with people on Saturday afternoon. Some of her visual puzzles are easy to figure out. She had ones that spelled out “Penn Stateâ€? and another that spelled out “JoePa.â€? Others were a little more challenging. She noted that a lot of families make a game of trying to guess what the art spells. “Everyone stops and looks. They like to figure out what they say. The kids see it first. They rattle them off. Older people have to think. They study them more. The kids see it for what it is,â€? Werner said. Werner was a rookie, attending her first People’s Choice Festival. For Chip Mock, of State College, People’s Choice is a summer ritual. Mock, who draws caricatures, has been to all 21 festivals. “This is my home. I’ve done every People’s Choice Festival,â€? Mock said. “It’s a great family festival. There is something here for everyone. It’s a good time ‌ you see a lot of family and friends.â€? According to Mock, there are families who visit his booth on an annual basis. Mock had a steady flow of customers on Saturday, but there was one group that stood out. “I had a family that I drew in 2000 right after they got married. They now have four daughters and a dog,â€? Mock explained. “They were on their way home to Mansfield from Raleigh, N.C. They stopped here to get drawn. That was very humbling. They said they have a whole wall of my drawings in their house.â€? Across the lawn, Stephen Zeak, of Altoona, set up shop. He was selling a unique line of wood products. The most popular item, he said, is a wooden playing card box with silkscreen images on the front. “Everyone really seems to like our stuff,â€? he said. “We’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback.â€? As temperatures rose on Saturday afternoon, Zeak took cover in the corner of his tent.
July 18-24, 2013 “We’re fortunate enough to have a tree,â€? Zeak said with a laugh. “This is just a great festival. People are really nice and we’ve had a steady stream of people. It’s really well run. There’s a good crew here.â€? Not far from Zeak’s booth was a tent with sports-themed art. While the majority of the art featured Penn State, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia sports teams, there was also offerings for teams from Washington and Baltimore, among others. Betsy Eisenhour was manning the booth for her son, Jacob. They come to the festival from Harrisburg. “Every year we come and the response gets better and better,â€? she said. “Between Penn State and the Steelers ‌ they really keep us in business.â€? The art usually features the team’s name with cutouts of players and logos filling in the letters. According to Eisenhour, her son was creative at an extremely young age. “He was 3 and he was doing 100-piece puzzles. He wouldn’t do the outside edges, he would only do the guts. That’s not really common for 3 year olds to do 100-piece puzzles. At 5 or 6, he started drawing baseball cards and they looked pretty good. In elementary school, there were three teachers who retired and he drew them,â€? she said. “In high school he kept drawing. He went from high school right into doing shows. He never had any art classes other than cartooning.â€? But not everything was about art. At the media tent, Heather Hall, marketing director of SCAR Derby, handed out flyers promoting State College Roller Derby. She said that the People’s Choice Festival gives her group a chance to get the word out in the community. “Festivals like this bring together all types of people ‌ people from different backgrounds and from Centre County and beyond,â€? Hall said. “We’re new-school roller derby and we’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback today.â€?

Farm bill leaves troubling gap By Scripps Howard News Service Republicans in the House of Representatives this week pushed through an agriculture bill that, for the first time since 1973, did not include the nation’s vast food stamp program. Officially known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, the program represents one of the federal government’s last remaining major anti-poverty initiatives. Thursday’s 216-to-208 party-line vote experienced particularly acrimonious debate, even by House standards. Conservatives hope to make deep cuts in the food stamp program, which usually represents nearly 80 percent of the agriculture bill’s spending. The economic recession of 2008-’09 and continued high unemployment rates have prompted huge jumps in the number of Americans who must rely on federal assistance to buy food. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that SNAP participation rose from 26.3 million in 2007 to 46.6 million last year. Nearly one in every six Americans now receives food stamps. But the growth in costs has been even greater, jumping from $28.6 billion in 2005 to $74.6 billion last year. That nearly tripling expense drew conservative ire — and a little unusual poetry from House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. “If ands and buts were candy and nuts, every day would be Christmas,” he told reporters when asked if he would allow a compromise bill to come to the floor. The idea of severing SNAP from the must-pass ag bill was first suggested by Michael Needham of the conservative Heritage Action for America. “The reason Congress should end the unholy alliance that has dominated the food stamp and farm bill for decades is to allow an open and substantive debate on the issues,” the group said this week. The SNAP-less ag bill is headed for opposition with the Senate, which approved modest cuts to food stamps. President Barack Obama has vowed to veto the measure if it does not contain food stamps supports. Jim Weill, president of the national anti-hunger organization Food Research and Action Center, vowed that his group would “continue to work toward a farm bill that protects SNAP and the nation’s children, seniors and working families.”

Florida case reveals leftist bigotry It’s amazing, a terrible disappointment, really — all the profiling that went on and is still going on of George Zimmerman in the murder case against him. Zimmerman, according to various political activists, all sorts of commentators, academics and others, had to be guilty of murder because, after all, a black teen was killed and he was white. Or part white. A “white Hispanic,” some reporters called him. Not only that, Jay Ambrose is of course, but he a columnist for traipsed around Scripps-Howard News Service. with a gun at night aiming to protect his neighbors. It’s understandable some won’t clap at that, but why would anyone without deep down prejudice suppose his doing it and following someone was proof of second-degree murder in a deadly shooting that followed? Some of the early misgivings about the criminal justice system were understandable. Given all the unspeakable grievances African-Americans have endured in this country, it is hardly a puzzle many would want more than the initially meager investigation after the shooting of an unarmed black teen. What’s not understandable is an
JAY AMBROSE
ipso facto judgment of a racist killing, such journalistic outrages as NBC doctoring a tape to further that view or otherwise reckless journalism that went out of its way to make Zimmerman look bad while playing biased games about what race he was. Yes, Zimmerman comes from a white father and a Hispanic mother. But President Barack Obama comes from a white mother and a black father, and I bet you never see the day when reporters call him a “white African-American,” least of all in some context where “white” might imply culpability to some. Oh, and by the way, Zimmerman also has black forbears and relatives. Facts of that kind eventually emerged in some of the press. We did get a big investigation. A trial was conducted. An FBI report has been made public. And if this is what you go by — the facts — Zimmerman is not left looking either racist or guilty. On the race question, he has those black kinfolk, he has black friends, he once protested the beating of a black man and he has tutored black children. In 35 interviews, FBI investigators found no neighbor or co-worker who recalled his ever expressing racial hostility. His guilt? There had been a number of burglaries in the neighborhood, some understandably nervous neighbors applauded Zimmerman as a volunteer and he had received 14 weeks of training in a police program. It’s logical enough to believe Trayvon Martin attacked him out of dislike of being followed, which is no excuse.
Martin was more physically fit than Zimmerman, one expert testified. In text messages the judge would not admit into evidence in the trial, Martin apparently showed great enthusiasm for fist fighting. One witness thinks he saw Martin on top of Zimmerman. A forensics expert says the fatal shot appears to have been fired at someone on top of Zimmerman. We know from injuries that Zimmerman’s head was slammed against the concrete sidewalk. We know there was no evidence of Martin having been hit at all. Does it strike you as irrational conjecture, then, that Martin started the fight? Does it seem inconceivable that he slugged away at Zimmerman from on top of him? Even if you do not believe Zimmerman’s story that Martin saw his gun and reached for it, is it preposterous to say Zimmerman felt his best chance to keep on living was to use his firearm? If you concede that there is at least a reasonable doubt that Zimmerman started the fight and shot Martin while thinking he himself was in no serious danger, you have to agree that the jury was right in saying Zimmerman was not guilty by reason of selfdefense. The death of Martin was a dreadful thing, but, on a different scale, so is the racial profiling of Zimmerman, the talk of retaliatory justice, the eagerness of some to put him in double jeopardy through a phony federal criminal charge and a hateful, arrogant, leftist bigotry that is just as real as any other bigotry.
Why going to college should be cheap Here are a couple of horror stories: Last week, National Public Radio interviewed two recent baccalaureate graduates from American universities. One owes $150,000 for student loans. The other, unemployed, owes a staggering $300,000. Fortunately, few cases are as seemingly hopeless as these are outliers. According to an analysis on the website of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the average studentloan debt after four years of college was more than $23,000 in 2012. But 10 percent of borrowers owed more John M. Crisp than $54,000, and teaches English at about 167,000 Del Mar College former students in Corpus Christi, Texas. His column owed more than is distributed by $200,000. Scripps Howard According to News Service. Email several sources, him at jcrisp@ total student debt delmar.edu. is closing in on a trillion dollars, a figure that, according to motherjones.com, has quadrupled in the last decade and now exceeds total credit card and auto loan debt. Many students are having a hard time paying this money back. All this debt is connected to the fact that the cost of college has risen much faster than the Consumer Price
JOHN CRISP
Index and many other indices. This can be illustrated with numbers. In March 2012, The New York Times’ Catherine Rampell noted that tuition and fees at state colleges have risen 559 percent since 1985. Other studies with different parameters show percentages of increase in the quadruple digits. The high cost of college can be illustrated anecdotally, as well. Someone asked me recently if my parents had paid for my college education, reminding me how much things have changed in the last four decades. My parents helped out in many ways, but, no, they didn’t give me a free ride through college. My dad was a high school educated mail carrier and my mom was a junior high school math teacher. They maintained a modest grip on the middle class, but money wasn’t abundant, and they had three more children to think about, as well. Nevertheless, by means of a combination of summer employment, part-time employment during the semester, the G.I. Bill, and a few Pell grants, I managed to leave the University of Texas at Austin with a graduate degree and absolutely no debt. Zero. The cost of college just wasn’t that big a deal in those days. Things have changed dramatically for various reasons, but Rampell argues that “the main cause of tuition growth has been huge state funding cuts.” When they’re squeezed for revenue, state legislators see funding for colleges and universities as “discretionary spending.” As they cut off

funds, educational institutions have little choice but to pass some of the deficit on to students. It would be challenging to find a place where the slashing of state funding has been more dramatic than in Texas. Today, tuition and fees for a semester’s work at U.T. are around $5,000. Thirty years ago, a semester’s graduate enrollment cost me a couple of hundred bucks. This trend is wrong-headed. College should be cheap for a number of good reasons, some of which are obvious. Few factors support a strong culture and a dynamic economy more than a well-educated citizenry. It’s a cliché, but clearly it’s still better that 20-year-olds are in college instead of prison. But the sharp rise in college tuition and fees is connected to an unhealthy psychological shift, as well, a change in how we view ourselves as a society. When state legislators begin to think of education as a “private good,” rather than a “public good” — that is, if you’re benefiting from it, you should pay for it — they undermine the beneficial and democratic leveling effect that easy access to education of all kinds has played in our society. Of course, the ones pushing higher college costs onto students can, in general, afford to send their own children to college, even at today’s outrageous rates. But the average student should be asking herself, “Can I and should I undertake college work?” She shouldn’t have to ask, “Can I afford it?”

Upcoming seminar explores drowning facts and myths From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — Summertime by the pool, lake or ocean means fun and relaxation for many; however, some of the lurking dangers of these places need to be brought to light, according to Dr. Tom Griffiths, president and founder of Aquatic Safety Research Group, LLC, and presenter at the Family Medicine Seminar at Mount Nittany Medical Center on July 18. “There are a number of myths about drowning,” according to Griffiths. And, in fact, many drownings are not drownings at all, Griffiths says, but rather medical events that happen in the water. For example, a seizure or a disruption in heart rhythm, during which the person often takes in water struggling to breathe, can make it appear to be a drowning. Designed for physicians, mid-levels, medical students and ancillary staff involved in patient care, Griffiths’ talk, “Drowning: Surprising Facts and Myths,” will include research about how events, such as those described above, are related to physiology and genetics and play a part in what has been considered drownings of good swimmers. The presentation also will describe shallow water blackout as a circumstance where those considered good swimmers drown. Griffiths explains that the game of competitive breath holding while swimming is a deadly one. Usually swimmers participating in this game will purposely hyperventilate or over-exert themselves before holding their breath in the water. Doing this deprives the body of carbon dioxide. With low carbon dioxide, the body loses its drive to breathe, causing the brain to have a lack of oxygen. According to Griffiths, within minutes the swimmer can black out and drown.
To counteract the danger that water presents, especially for children, Griffiths has been on the forefront of a national water safety program called Note & Float. “We know of no drowning cases of someone who was wearing a properly-fitting life jacket,” says Griffiths. “We need to change the culture, and advocate life jackets in public pools for all non-swimmers age 12 and younger.” In his explanation of the Note & Float program, Griffiths will present six steps to safety. In addition to the life jacket enforcement for small children, some of the recommendations include various supervisory tips for parents, a registry at the aquatic facility of all non-swimmers, a wristband ID of non-swimmers, written and verbal safety directions, and the option of either a swimming test or the wearing of a life jacket for anyone wanting to swim in water levels five feet or deeper. Another issue to be discussed will be the challenges that lifeguards must overcome to stay focused and prevent drowning incidences. Griffiths will describe the “Complex Quadriplex of Lifeguard Blindness,” which consists of four areas in both the cognitive and physical realms that present issues for lifeguards: external distractions like cell phones and socializing; physical factors that affect the ability to see clearly in the water such as reflections, refraction and ripple effect; internal noise, including thoughts and emotions; and lastly, the problem of cognitive body blindness, which refers to a denial, or disbelief in what one is seeing, creating a delay in taking appropriate action that could save a drowning victim. The Family Medicine Seminar Series is presented in collaboration with the Penn State College of Medicine, Department of Family and Community Medicine. Healthcare

Children’s book author visits Centre Hall Library By SAM STITZER
pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
CENTRE HALL — Chipmunks were the center of attention at the Centre Hall Branch Library on July 10 as noted children’s author Kathy Miller gave a presentation on her “Chippy Chipmunk” books as part of the library’s summer reading program. Chippy is a real chipmunk that Miller photographed in her New Ringgold, backyard over a period of two years. Miller, who was raised in Canada, is a wildlife photographer, and she had taken photos for photo cards to raise money for the Hawk Mountain Bird Sanctuary in Kempton. “When I had the series of pictures of this chipmunk living in my yard, I decided to make a book with it,” Miller said. “There’s a big nature deficit today — kids aren’t outside as much. I thought I could talk about ‘What’s in your back yard?’ and get kids interested in taking photographs and making a story.” Miller has written two Chippy Chipmunk books, the first titled “Chippy Chipmunk: Parties in the Garden,” published in 2009, and the second one titled “Chippy Chipmunk: Babies in the Garden,” where Chippy becomes a daddy. The books feature many of Miller’s photos and a
SCHOLARSHIP WINNER
fun facts section which lists many interesting facts about chipmunks’ habitats and lifestyle. The books were highly praised by critics, and they have won more than 30 national awards. Miller’s verbal and slide show presentation focused on the lives and habits of chipmunks and also featured photos and information on birds native to rural areas of the state. The presentation was well received by the audience of about a dozen children and several parents and library staff. The highlight of the presentation was at its conclusion, when Miller had the children work together to construct a replica of a chipmunk burrow, made from plastic drain pipe. The burrow featured multiple entrances and exits, a food storage chamber, and a “bedroom,” which would be lined with leaves, where the chipmunks spend winters in a semi-hibernating state. Miller characterizes her writing as realistic fiction. “I wanted to make a book that was a learning book as well as being entertaining,” said Miller. “By the end of the story, they (readers) actually learned a lot.” Besides being an author and photographer, Miller is also a music teacher and a professional cellist. She travels throughout the state giving presentations, mostly to elementary schools. “This summer’s reading theme is ‘Dig into Reading’ —

Penns Valley group plans local radio station By SAM STITZER
pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
SPRING MILLS — A group of Penns Valley citizens are planning to establish a public access radio station in the Penns Valley area. Recent Federal Communications Commission regulation changes have allowed the creation of low-power (100 watts maximum) community access stations on the FM band. These stations must be under the auspices of non-profit organizations, so the station organizers are working under the sponsorship of the Penns Valley Conservation Association, a local nonprofit group. Broadcast range at 100 watts would include all of the Penns Valley and Brush Valley areas and beyond, possibly reaching more than 12,000 listeners. The station would not begin broadcasting until 2014 at the earliest, but the initial construction permit must be submitted to the FCC by mid-October of this year. This time crunch has the organizing volunteers scrambling to complete the necessary paperwork, including programming planning. FCC regulations dictate a minimum of eight hours of programming, seven days a week for this type of station. Organizers are kicking around many ideas, including live and recorded local music, readings of poetry, local oral his-
tory, local news, children’s bedtime stories, book and movie reviews, informative programs on agriculture and veterinary medicine, and more. Programming ideas are being solicited from the public. The organizers are looking for some serious volunteers and potential on-air personalities. Shows can be recorded on a flexible schedule, but broadcasting eight hours a day will require a presence at the studio, so station staffing and management will provide volunteer opportunities as well. Commercial sponsors are also being sought to help offset the ongoing operating costs. The transmitter location is not certain at this time, but will probably be in the Millheim area. Technical organizer Larry Wolken noted that there are many metal towers once used for television antennas still standing in Penns Valley which would provide a ready-made structure for the radio station’s transmitting antenna. Wolken has experimented with a tiny 10 watt transmitter mounted atop the Elk Creek Café in Millheim, and found the signal to be usable in most of the valley. “We thought we’d lose it in the narrows (along Route 445), but we had reception almost the whole way to Rebersburg,” said Wolken, noting that his experiments used a 10 watt transmitter, and the actual station’s power would be 100 watts.

Centre Hall hosts Relay for Life fundraiser By SAM STITZER
pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
CENTRE HALL — The Happy Valley Relay for Life — formerly known as the Centre Hall Relay for Life fundraiser for the American Cancer Society — was held recently at the Grange Fairgrounds in Centre Hall. The annual event is one of the top fundraisers of its kind in the state. Teams of cancer survivors, families and friends walked laps around a course laid out on the Grange Fairgrounds. This event, which celebrates cancer survivors and raises money for the American Cancer Society, set a goal of $225,000 this year. As of June 29, the event had raised more than $161,000. Last year, the event reached a milestone of having raised $1 million over an eight-year span. The theme for this year’s event was “Wipeout,” a surfing derived term, but with the double meaning of wiping out cancer. Many team campsites were decorated with surfboards and palm trees, invoking thoughts of beach culture and Beach Boys surfing songs. The two-day event featured a full schedule of activities including the walking of several “wacky laps,” where participants wore outfits following various themes. One theme was beach clothes, where walkers wore beach hats and sunglasses and carried beach balls. Another lap was entitled “Hunting For A Cure,” where walkers dressed in camouflage hunting clothes. A third wacky lap had walkers carrying whistles and horns for a “Blow Away Cancer” theme.
The mood of the event shifted from humorous to somber and back. The silliness of the wacky laps was contrasted by the serious mood of the dusk luminaria service, where each glowing bag was a reminder of someone who had lost their fight with cancer. The cancer survivors displayed an upbeat and hopeful attitude. Grateful to have survived, they served as role models for those still in the throes of battle with the insidious disease. Event chairperson Sherri Cramer was pleased with the turnout for the relay. She expressed thanks to the relay sponsors. She was also grateful to the Grange Fair organization for the use of the fairgrounds. She said that the teams work throughout the year, holding yard and sandwich sales to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Cramer noted that this year marks the 100th anniversary of the American Cancer Society. Relay for Life events are held in more than 600 communities in 19 foreign countries as well as in the United States. Cramer is a member of the Generations Decking Cancer relay team. The team is composed of 14 family members from three generations. The team name is a play on words, as Cramer’s mother’s maiden name was Decker. The Decker family has been hit hard by cancer over a span of many years. Cramer lost her mother, Katie Decker Cramer, to cancer. She has also lost two aunts, several cousins and grandparents. Her aunt, Wanda Hockenberry, was the survivors chairperson for the relay. “I’m the 7-11 lady — the seventh out of 11 children to have cancer,” she said.
Bike Show planned
SAM STITZER/For The Gazette
PARTICIPANTS WALKED many laps around the fairgrounds during the two-day event. “Counting me, there are four survivors.” She said that with her family statistics, her diagnosis of melanoma in 2011 was not a surprise. She underwent surgery for the cancer, and is now free of the disease. She emphasized looking forward in life. “You can’t look back because that’s not going to do you any good. You can’t change the past. Keep looking ahead,” she said.
Every participant in the Relay for Life has a story to tell. Some are triumphant tales of victory and some are sad eulogies for those who lost the fight, but all are filled with the emotions that only a brush with death can produce. The Relay for Life participants treasure the gift of life because they know firsthand how suddenly it can be lost.

Teenage singer wows audience
Birth Announcements
By SAM STITZER
pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
REBERSBURG — Eva Katherine Blankenhorn is a 14-year-old singer from Orwigsburg in Schuylkill County. She sang to an enthusiastic audience at the Miles Township Fire Company carnival in Rebersburg last week. She uses the stage name Eva Katherine. “Blankenhorn is too long to fit on a marquee,” she joked. She aspires to be a professional recording artist and song writer. She began singing at an early age. “From the time I could walk, I was singing,” said Katherine. Her parents, Kevin and Beth Blankenhorn, enrolled a six-year-old Eva in voice lessons. She soon began singing in her church, and at local basketball and football games. In short order, she was performing the National Anthem at numerous NASCAR and Professional Bull Riders events including venues such as the historic Madison Square Garden in New York City. She has also appeared as an opening act for country music star Miranda Lambert. In 2011, she released a CD entitled “We’re Gonna Get There,” which contains 10 songs that she wrote herself. Some of these tracks have been played on regional radio stations in both country and pop genres. Most of Katherine’s music falls in the contemporary country and crossover genres, but she has a great love for the classic country sound. “I grew up with Johnny Cash,” she said. In fact, her first song at Rebersburg was Cash’s iconic “Folsom Prison Blues.” Her rendition of “Crazy” evoked memories of the late Patsy Kline. “I don’t want to be ‘just like’ anybody. I want to be a little different than everyone else,” she said.
MARGARET LOUISE FYE SAM STITZER/For The Gazette
EVA KATHERINE impressed her audience at the Miles Township Fire Company carnival in Rebersburg.
She has succeeded in weaving elements of many artists into a unique tapestry of sound, which appeals to a wide audience. Katherine performs between 50 and 60 shows a year at many different venues. This keeps her busy, but has not interfered with her academic pursuits. She will enter Blue Mountain High School as a freshman this fall, bringing a nearly straight A average with her. “We’ll see her on TV someday,” said carnival attendee Ron Shaffer, “and be able to say we remember when we saw her at Rebersburg.”

Bellefonte Class of 1943 holds reunion From Gazette staff reports PLEASANT GAP — The Bellefonte Class of 1943 recently met at the Red Horse Tavern in Pleasant Gap for its 70th class reunion. Twelve of the 44 remaining members were in attendance and enjoyed great food and company during the afternoon gathering. The 1943 graduating class totaled 121 students made up of 53 boys and 68 girls. Because the war had started, 22 boys left for various branches of the armed services before graduation day. Nine girls from the class served their country through the cadet nursing corps after graduation. The class was without an official school building from their freshman through junior years. They met for classes in the old Bellefonte Academy building, sometimes skipping homeroom or classes to go down to Davison’s Fountain Service for CMPs and Cokes and to hide from Principal Sollenberger, as the story goes. The entire school year through snow, rain and heat they had to walk five blocks to and from the Spring Street Armory for woodworking classes and gym classes. To attend high school classes they
hitchhiked from Milesburg and Boggs and Spring townships and back because there were no school buses. The senior year began in October 1942 — a month late — because the Bellefonte High School was destroyed by fire in February 1939 and was not ready for occupancy yet in September. In order to make up the late start, they had only two days off for Christmas and no time off for New Year’s Day, Easter or Memorial Day, allowing the graduation to take place on June 22, 1943. They never had a yearbook, and no guys to date for the senior prom. Their graduation day began in the early morning hours with the official arrival of summer at 3:13 a.m., followed an hour later with a county wide air raid drill and blackout. World War II created many hardships, including rationing of gasoline, shoes, sugar, butter, canned goods and meats. Even the graduation speaker had to get a special allotment of gasoline from the rationing board in order to drive 50 miles to the graduation ceremony. The members have already begun planning their 71st reunion.

One of summer’s sweetest treats, ice cream can trace its origins to the second century B.C. Some of the earliest references include a mention of ice combined with fruit toppings by Roman emperor Nero and ice and milk creations made for King Tang of Shang China. Since then, ice cream has evolved into many variations across the world, from the ice cream cone to frozen custard to gelato. These ice cream varieties are usually made from dairy products like milk and cream, and is traditionally combined with sugar, fruits and other sweet flavors. After ice cream was first imported to the United States, founding fathers such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson served the sweet treat to their dinner and party guests. The first official ice cream parlor in the country opened in New York City in 1776. The term “ice cream” was first used by the American colonists, a deviation from the phrase “iced cream.” Many ice cream-making methods have changed over time, as technology improved. The use of ice mixed with salt
to lower and control the temperature of the ice cream ingredients and the invention of wooden bucket freezers with rotary paddles greatly improved the quality of ice cream manufacturing. In 1846, Nancy Johnson patented the hand-crank freezer, establishing the basic method of ice cream-making that is still used today. The first large-scale commercial ice cream plant was built in Baltimore, Md., in 1851 by Jacob Fussell. The ice cream mold and ice cream scooper were first used in February 1897. The invention of refrigeration allowed ice cream to become nationally distributed. It quickly became an icon of American culture in soda and malt shops in the early 20th century. Ice cream’s popularity only grew throughout the years. Because of cheaper refrigeration, ice cream stores, types and flavors exploded. Baskin-Robbins, Dairy Queen and Tastee-Freez became leaders in ice cream chain stores. Thicker “premium” ice creams became popular in the 1980s with brands such as Ben & Jerry’s and Haagen-Dazs. These brands, among others, still add flavors today, making ice cream an ever-evolving summer treat.

As the only restaurant in town where customers can eat bacon-based syrups on any given day, Herwig’s Austrian Bistro has provided local residents with a little slice of Eastern European cuisine since 2002. The idea to open a restaurant came after the need for Bernd Bradstatter’s parents’, Herwig ‘Brandy’ and Gundi Brandstatter, travel agency declined. Teaming with their son to introduce Austrian cooking to State College seemed right, as both Herwig Bradstatter and Bernd Bradstatter attended the same culinary school in Austria. “These are dishes that my parents made for me and their parents made for them. These are by far nothing fancy, but this is good Austrian home cooking,� said Bernd Bradstatter, who serves as the restaurant’s general manager. In its original location at 129 S. Fraser St., Herwig’s only had six tables, which could seat about 24 people. As the popularity of the restaurant and its homemade Austrian cooking grew, more space was needed. Herwig’s moved to its current location of 132 W. College Ave., in 2006. As each item on the menu is made from scratch, Bernd Bradstatter said he and his parents try to use as many local ingredients as possible when making the dishes. “We make everything from scratch. Nothing comes in premade. In the end, it means a longer day for us, but it’s worth it for you. I’m okay with that,� he said. “It’s Austrian food. It’s not Americanized. It’s not German. It’s the real deal.� In the 10 years Herwig’s has been open, it has been named ‘Best Ethnic Restaurant of State College’ by readers of State College Magazine for seven years in a row and eight years total. With its official U.S. trademarked motto of ‘where bacon is an herb,’ it is obvious why. In addition to offering residents quality dishes made from scratch, Bernd Bradstatter said he and his parents provide customers with the traditional Austrian experience. As customers must pronounce the traditional Austrian

If you are a lady and my dad is here during lunch time, he will Darren Weimert hand feed you if you cannot finish your food,� Bernd Bradstatter said. This interaction and unique dining experience is what Bernd Bradstatter said sets Herwig’s apart from other local restaurants. “We really all enjoy what we’re doing. We’re very interactive with the guests. It’s almost like you’re eating at your grandparents’ house. We’re going to come out.

State College puts the wraps on District 5 Little League title By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH
sports@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — State College National pitcher Jack Mangene appeared to be in deep trouble on Thursday night in the continuation of his team’s District 5 Little League championship game against Tri County. With a run already in, no outs, runners on second and third base, and only an inning left to play, Mangene stood on the mound and watched as manager Jeff Shoemaker slowly walked toward him. “He asked me if I wanted him to bring (Justin) Vescio in,” Mangene said. “That’s what he asked. I said, ‘No, sir. I want to do this. I’m going to do this.’” Shoemaker walked back to the dugout without making the change, and two strikeouts, an intentional walk, and a harmless groundout later, Mangene was out of the inning. Surprisingly down only by a run, SC followed with a three-run rally in the sixth that, with another gritty inning by Mangene, locked up a 6-5 win and put the Nationals into the District 5 winner’s circle for the second year in a row. “The great thing about Jack Mangene,” Shoemaker said, “is that he has been the go-to pitcher since he was 9. When I went out to the mound, something tugged at me. Who do I want on the mound with the game on the line? Jack Mangene. “Before the game, I went up to him and asked him if he wanted to pitch or if I should go with someone else. He said, ‘Coach, I got this.’ That’s what we expect from Jack. He did not have his best stuff, but he got the win, and that’s what matters.” The way the game restarted after Wednesday night’s downpours, it didn’t appear as if State College would win at all. Things picked up in the top of the fifth inning with two outs, none on, and the score
tied 3-3. State College ended its half of the inning with a ground out, and Tri County immediately jumped on Mangene. Pitcher Tom Bucha led off with a double, and then Tanner Kuruzovich drove him in with a single to left-center field. Cale Burkett followed with a single, and then both runners advanced on a wild pitch, bringing Shoemaker out of the dugout to talk to his pitcher. “In the fifth inning, I was scared out of my mind,” Mangene said, “but I just had to bear down and get a couple of strikeouts.” Which he did — Cory Lehman for the first out and then Brenden Franks for the second. Hard-hitting Parker Mitchell was intentionally walked to load the bases, and then Mangene got Blake Roberts to ground out and end the threat. Tri County put up only one run when a big rally was entirely possible, and SC still had an at bat to catch up. Which the Nationals did — and more. Neal Singer and Jaret Beyer opened the final at bat with singles, and then Kevin Karstetter walked, loading the bases. Tyler Gulley followed with a grounder to first baseman Ethan Moore, who tried to cut off the tying run with a throw home. It was late, and Singer scored and tied the game at 4-4. The throw got past the Tri County catcher, and Beyer tried to score as well, but he was out in a close play at home. With one out now, Trenton Decker also grounded to Moore, but this time Moore went to the base for the second out, and then he threw home trying to get Karstetter. The throw was wild, and as it bounced away Karstetter and Gulley both scored and SC took a 6-4 lead. Those two runs were all that Mangene needed, even though Tri County did add some drama in the bottom of the sixth. Moore made up for his error when he

Two groundouts later, Kuruzovich reached with an infield single which brought the winning run to the plate. Cole Urbas then grounded sharply toward third base, but Karstetter made a nice play and forced Kuruzovich at second for the final out. “Moore hit a good pitch from Mangene,” Shoemaker said, “low and outside. He is just one of their special kids. When we looked at the brackets when this whole thing started, there were a lot of good teams.
“But we scrimmaged Tri County, and they are a special group of kids. What a murderer’s row in the middle of that lineup, and they came out and hit because that’s what they do. “We have a special group of kids as well, and they have worked incredibly hard. In a game of inches, which was tonight, putting in that extra work made all the difference.” State College National now advances to the next level and will play in the Regional Tournament in Johnstown beginning on July 13.

Philipsburg finishes regular season at 22-0, wins first playoff game By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH
sports@centrecountygazette.com
PHILIPSBURG — The Philipsburg Spike Island Pirates became the first team in the 102-year history of the Centre County Baseball League to finish the regular season undefeated after they crafted a perfect 22-0 record in 2013. Now, the Pirates are eyeing the playoffs and another possible run to their second straight CCBL championship. That run got off to a good start on Sunday afternoon. Taking on first round foe and No. 8 seed Pleasant Gap at Philipsburg High School, the Pirates took advantage of ace Josh Potter’s pitching and a 10-run, fifth inning eruption to cruise past the Peppers, 16-1, and take a 1-0 series lead. Led by three hits each by A.J. Robin-
son and Brandon Myers along with a big, bases-clearing, three-run double by Parker Watson, Philipsburg smashed a total of 16 hits that included four extra-base hits and a home run (by Matt McCamely). On the mound, meanwhile, Potter put together a neat six-hitter in which he struck out five, walked only two, and gave up only that single run in the third inning. “It’s always nice when we can throw Josh (Potter) out there in the first game,” Philipsburg coach Tyler Good said. “We don’t have to worry about much, really. Our offense started slowly today, but we almost had a week off so it was a rough start. But that’s the nice thing about throwing Josh in game one because he’ll get us the series lead.” Pleasant Gap was more than competitive until the P-Burg bats began to heat up. Behind the solid four-plus innings of
work from starting pitcher Steve Alterio, the Peppers were down by just two runs going into the bottom of the fifth inning. But two fly balls to short right field that were lost in the sun sparked a furious 10run rally that put the game away for Philipsburg. The Pirates send 14 men to the plate in the inning, had eight hits, a walk, a hit batter, and went from a tenuous 3-1 lead to a comfortable 13-1 cushion with just two innings left to play. The big hits were RBI singles by Ryan Koch, Myers, and Good sandwiched around Watson’s three-run double that at the time made the score 10-1. With Potter getting stronger as the game went on, Philipsburg added three more runs in the bottom of the sixth and, with the win, will take a one-game series lead into Pleasant Gap on Tuesday evening
in game two. “I trust my offense,” Potter said. “We had a slow start. We didn’t have all of our hitters here, but we figured them out. We didn’t score for four or five innings, but we can score runs in bunches. No matter how it’s going, I know they are going to score runs for me.” Pleasant Gap was led by Tyler Lalli, who had two hits in the game, and Dan Roan, who had the Peppers’ lone RBI. Game two is scheduled for 5:45 on Tuesday at Governor’s Park in Bellefonte, and it promises to be an uphill battle for Pleasant Gap against the motivated Pirates. “If I remember back, the first game is usually tough for us, but we usually figure it out,” Potter said. “We’re 23-0 this year and we have the same guys back as we had last year. We show up and we expect to win.”

A little golf inspiration for those golfers who have been there, done that: Golfer John Blake of Philipsburg submitted the following. It was a sunny morning, a little before 8 a.m., on the first hole of a busy course and the golfer was beginning his pre-shot routine, visualizing the upcoming shot when a piercing voice came over the clubhouse loud speaker. “Would the gentleman on the women’s tee back up to the men’s tee, please!” The golfer could feel every eye on the course looking at him. He was still deep in his routine, seemingly impervious to the interruption. Again the announcement, “Would the MAN on the WOMEN’S tee kindly back up to the men’s tee.” He simply ignored the guy and kept concentrating when once more, the man yelled: “WOULD THE MAN ON THE WOMEN’S TEE BACK UP TO THE MEN’S TEE. PLEASE!” He finally stopped, turned, cupped his hands and shouted back: “WOULD THE JERK WITH THE MICROPHONE KINDLY KEEP QUIET AND LET ME PLAY MY SECOND SHOT?”

Community theatre to perform ‘The Crucible’ By ANNE WALKER
correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — One of the strangest episodes in American history will come to life this weekend at the State Theatre when the State College Community Theatre presents Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible.” The play will through July 19 and 26, at 8 p.m. and Saturday, July 20 and 27, at 2 and 8 p.m. Under the direction of SCCT veteran Marilyn Knoffsinger, the play features 20 characters, all Puritans in 17th century Salem, Mass.
IF YOU GO Who: State College Community Theatre What: Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible” When: July 19, 20, 26 and 27, 8 p.m. (select matinees at 2 p.m.) Where: State Theatre, downtown State College More info: www.thestatetheatre. org The familiar story of a town paralyzed by fear, intolerance and injustice has become a morality tale and a warning in the 323 years since the events of the winter of 1692 unfolded. It began with a group of adolescent girls, possibly bored with the constraints of Puritan life, who systematically
began to fall into fits of fainting, screaming and generally writhing around as though tortured. Abigail Williams, Betty Parris, Mercy Lewis and Mary Warren, among others, accused various townspeople of having “bewitched” them. By the year’s end, they had accused 200, and seen executed 20 of their own community. Knoffsinger refers to the incident as “a timeless reminder of how intolerance and hysteria can feed each other and destroy a community.” Her dedicated cast seems to take it as their duty to demonstrate the importance of this message. A 15-year-old, Jordan Santillo, plays Abigail Williams, the initial accuser in Miller’s play. Miller took liberties with the story, creating Williams as a love interest for farmer John Proctor, played by Samuel Reitman. “She has a big personality,” Santillo said, “but this is dark and intense overall.” Williams and her friends, Betty Parris (Caitlin Rokavec), Mercy Lewis (Jordan Sugg) and Mary Warren (Deb Gilmore) close the first scene with a chilling reminder of how a mob forms its mentality. In shrill, detached voices they call out one name after another, claiming each individual has cursed them. The adults can only watch in horror, envisioning Satan in their midst. If the girls show us the dangers of hysteria, Proctor undergoes his own moral redemption. “He’s conflicted,” Reitman observed. “He’s been unfaithful to his wife with Abigail, but he tries to better himself.” Proctor’s conflict becomes more apparent when he finds himself accused and facing death.
‘Freud’s Last Sesson’ is a battle of wits By ANNE WALKER

ARTHUR MILLER’S “The Crucible” will be performed at the State Theatre on July 19, 20, 26 and 27. Cast members are from left, Jordan Sugg, Deb Gilmore, Jordan Santillo, Caitlin Rokavec and Kaitlyn Whitesell. “It’s his make-or-break moment,” Reitman said. Another fascinating character, Tituba, played by Rachel Moon, adds an exotic flavor to this Puritan society. Tituba, a slave owned by Samuel Parris (Stacy Sublett), has “conjured” spells with the girls. Or has she? Once accused, she confesses, possibly knowing that she won’t face the gallows if she says what everyone wants to hear. Moon said she’d never heard of Tituba before she took on the role. But she has made
Penn State Centre Stage presents ‘Doubt: A Parable’ By ALLISON GIANNOTTI

correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — The Next Stage will present a unique work at the State Theatre this week. “Freud’s Last Session,” a twoman drama, invites the audience into psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud’s office to witness an imaginary conversation between Freud and writer C.S. Lewis, best known for “The Chronicles of Narnia.” The show will open at 8 p.m. on Friday, July 19. Performances will be held Saturday July 20 and 27, at 8 p.m. and Sunday, July 21 and 28, at 3 p.m. An additional 3 p.m. show will be held on Saturday, July 27. Set in 1939 in London, the play opens with Lewis arriving at Freud’s flat. Air raid sirens and radio broadcasts signify that England has joined the war. Chris Hults as Lewis and Lloyd Short as Freud proceed to engage in what director Richard Biever calls “a pressure cooker.” Freud, a devout atheist, calls into question Lewis’ devotion to his conversion to Catholicism, while Lewis wonders how Freud can deny the existence of a deity. The battle of wits between the two intellectual heavyweights highlights some of the most fundamental beliefs humans possess. Hults and Short each bring an intensity to their performances that makes this interpretation particularly electric. “They’re both onstage for an hour and 20 minutes,” Biever said. “It’s a mountain of work for each of them.” The two pull it off, though. Hults’ Lewis
STATE COLLEGE—“It’s a mystery,” actor Carly Evan Hughes said. “And the answer to the mystery is not clear,” actor Jane Ridley said. Penn State Centre Stage will present “Doubt: A Parable” from July 24 until Aug. 3 at the Penn State Downtown Theatre Center. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for best play, “Doubt” is directed by theater veteran Jim Wise, performed by an extraordinary four-person cast, and backed by an ingenious artistic team. Written by John Patrick Shanley, the play is a mesmerizing, suspense-filled drama with themes of doubt, uncertainty and growth permeating its core.

brings a reserved sensitivity to the role. We see the English gentleman approach the aging Freud with respect, while refusing to let the Austrian intimidate him. Freud, nearing the end of his life, has sought refuge in Britain after Nazis threatened his family. Short portrays the dying physician with strength and defiance. This man won’t go down without a fight. “Both characters have preconceived ideas about what the other will think and say,” Biever said, “with imaginary arguments and bullet points. It’s unexpected when they start revealing more about who they really are.” But the script by Mark St. Germain does have its lighter, more humorous moments. Lewis arrives at Freud’s flat a bit late. In response to apologies, Freud said: “If I wasn’t 83, I’d say it doesn’t matter.” Intriguing props include gas masks, religious figurines and a Victorian chaise lounge. All of these find their way into the conversation, creating an inviting atmosphere at odds with the impending war and the unsettling depths of dialogue. “It’s an intimate piece, more focused on the writing,” Hults observed. “Freud’s Last Session” will give audiences a few things to discuss and much to think about.
the Barbados accent her own and her gestures have an arresting quality. “I hope I can do her justice,” she commented. “She’s usually played by an African-American.” While Tituba finds a way to escape the gallows, others accused don’t. And Knoffsinger hopes audiences will leave the theater knowing that. “May they strive to change themselves,” she said, “and by changing themselves they can help change a small piece of today’s world.”

Having just admitted its first AfricanAmerican student, Donald Muller, mysterious circumstances lead the school’s principal, Sister Aloysius, to accuse the beloved Father Flynn of making improper advances toward the boy. Sister Aloysius enlists the aid of a young teacher, Sister James, in her efforts to validate her concerns and confront Father Flynn. In a dramatic confrontation Flynn is adamant in his denial of any wrongdoing, while Sister Aloysius is certain of his guilt. With Sister James and Donald’s mother,

Mrs. Muller, caught in the middle, the priest and principal face off in a battle of wills that will force one of them to leave St. Nicholas. In turn, with no substantial proof regarding Sister Aloysius’ accusation, the audience is left with its own doubt. “Doubt” stars Penn State faculty member Jane Ridley as Sister Aloysius, Kevin Murphy as Father Flynn, Carly Evan Hughes as Sister James and Stori Ayers as Mrs. Muller. With each character having a distinct personality and view of the situation, drama is sure to ensue. “Sister James is a very innocent and naïve little nun,” Hughes said. “She always looks for the good in everybody, and she’s always trying to do the right thing.” On the contrary, “Sister Aloysius is very strong, and driven to protect the children; she has an eagle eye so she knows exactly what’s going on, which is why she’s so certain about Father Flynn,” said Ridley. Despite the overriding question of Father Flynn’s actions, the play explores life’s greater questions and the pervasiveness and importance of doubt in one’s life. “For people who see this play, they might just a sense that there’s strength and unity of uncertainty,” said Flynn portrayer Murphy “People tend to say that the second act of this play happens in the lobby after the show,” Ridley said.

Brochures and websites don’t sell — people do New technology leads to better data and more sophisticated analysis. Sales processes evolve with an increased focus on understanding customers and prospects. Universities offer majors in sales and sales management. Yet far too many so-called sales people, particularly those in healthcare referral source marketing positions, still think that brochures, websites and other marketing items are what sell their David M. products or services. Mastovich is Or, they don’t realize president of that buying someone MASSolutions Inc. food is not marketing. For more How can this be? It information, go seems obvious to true to massolutions.biz. sales practitioners that customers buy solutions from people. They don’t buy based on a brochure or a website. I’m not talking about purchasing
a piece of furniture, item of clothing or grill set from Amazon. We can buy things like that with a couple of clicks online. But when someone has a pain point and needs a solution, they aren’t going to buy based on a “leave behind” or from a website. I’m not minimizing the importance of marketing collaterals, websites, mobile marketing, social media or traditional media vehicles. Each can be important to a true integrated marketing strategy. I’m talking about selling to prospects and upselling existing customers. Marketers trying to close business need to build and maintain quality relationships. They need to make it about “them” — their prospects and customers. Ask open-ended, fact-and-emotion based questions. Shut up and listen. Needs match. Deliver what they promise. They need to show that they are there for customers and prospects, not just trying to hit their numbers. Brochures and websites can be part of the process.
