Paterno, Kenney suing Penn State By JESSICA TULLY StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Jay Paterno and Bill Kenney, two former assistant football coaches, are suing the university based on claims that the Sandusky scandal ruined their chances of being hired for new positions. The two filed suit in federal court Monday, each seeking $1 million or more in damages. Paterno was a quarterbacks coach, while Kenney coached offensive tackles and tight ends. Both men are asking the university to issue a public statement confirming that neither committed any wrongdoings, pay their attorney fees and award them past and future damages for loss of employment benefits, as well as compensation for emotional distress. Neither Paterno nor Kenney were retained in January 2012 when Bill O’Brien took over as head football coach at Penn State. Both argue in the 41-page lawsuit that the allegations surrounding the football program hurt their chances of finding

new jobs with Division I college football programs, National Football League teams and national media companies. Attorneys for Paterno and Kenney say the pair were unable to be hired due to the timing of their firings. They argued JAY PATERNO the coaches were unfairly brought into the fallout of the sexual abuse scandal due to the investigation conducted by former FBI director Louis Freeh. Because they were fired in the midst of the investigation, it “had the effect of branding and stigmatizing plaintiffs as participants in the Sandusky scandal,” though they were not involved in it. The coaches argue that all of their attempts to find employment have been met with “disinterest and disdain.” Paterno, who worked for Penn State for 17 seasons, applied for open head coach-

ing positions at the University of Connecticut, the University of Colorado, Boston College and James Madison University. He was not granted interviews at any schools, with one administration reportedly saying it found coaches from BILL KENNEY Penn State “too toxic” given the findings of the Consent Decree. Paterno also had conversations about commentary positions at ESPN, CBS Sports and Fox Sports but nothing came to fruition with the media companies, according to the lawsuit. Kenney served as a Division I coach for 27 years. After his termination in January 2012, he applied to various college programs, including Illinois, Wisconsin, Purdue, Virginia Tech, Florida State, Massachusetts, North Carolina State, Boston College, Arizona, Delaware and Syracuse, as well as National Football League teams,

according to documents. Kenney wrote in the lawsuit that most programs did not want to deal with the public relations that would follow his hiring, so the open positions went to lessqualified applicants. Eventually, he secured an offensive line coaching position at Western Michigan University, where his salary is much lower than it was at Penn State. “Although none of the terminated assistant football coaches, including Plaintiffs, had been found at that time in January 2012 to have committed or been involved in any wrongdoing in connection with the Sandusky scandal, Penn State terminated each of them at the height of the Sandusky scandal’s dark shroud and without any attempt whatsoever by Penn State to preserve the reputations of these guiltless individuals,” attorneys wrote in the court documents. Attorneys for the plaintiffs also argue Paterno and Kenney were not given the severance packages they deserved. It was Lawsuit, Page 4

UNIVERSITY PARK — Bob White never really left Penn State. White, co-captain on the 1986 national championship team, has worked for Penn State in a variety of roles for the last two decades, including one season as an assistant coach at the suggestion of Joe Paterno. Now, he’s responsible for marketing and operations for suites and club seats at Beaver Stadium, having joined the development staff in 2001. CENTRE COUNTY GAZETTE: You hear the term off-season a lot for sports teams, but is there ever really an off-season for you at the stadium? BOB WHITE: No. Given to where things have moved to and have grown into, given my duties as it relates to the premium seats — suites and club seats — part of that is the stadium-private events. The stadium-private event piece is just an ongoing cycle that really is never-ending. The only time throughout the entire year when things literally cease to BOB WHITE move is that stretch between Christmas break and New Year’s. The rest of the year, whether it’s spring, summer or fall, between football and dealing with our premium-seat customers and handling all the private events, there really isn’t any down time. CCG: For the stadium events, what is it about Beaver Stadium and the Mount Nittany Club that makes it a popular destination for weddings, receptions, etc.? BW: I think the primary thing is you’re dealing with Penn State alums, many of who have spent a lot of their college years tailgating and hanging out with friends around football. Oftentimes, a lot of those events that take place around the stadium are going to be either in the category of Penn Staters who want to come back with their friends and relive some memories here around a wedding reception, or it’s going to be one of the departmental units that’s doing something over here, a conference or something along those lines. CCG: During a game, what’s the atmosphere like in the suites and in the Mount Nittany Club? BW: With the ability — which is a very nice feature of the suites — to open the windows, you can

STATE COLLEGE — It’s mid-morning at Schlow Library in downtown State College. People come and go through the glass doors. Some are there to return books, others there to check out a few. Some people read, others write. The clicking of fingers on keyboards can be heard throughout the second floor. A young man peruses the DVDs, trying to decide which one to select. In a back office, communications manager Susanna Paul tries to create space on her desk, which is covered in news releases and notes. Paul has been at Schlow for a little over a month now. She’s still getting used to her new role at the library. “It’s been a little hectic,” Paul said. “There’s a lot for me to learn.” Paul is a faster learner, though. After making the move from Housing Transitions Inc., where she handled development and community relations, she’s adjusted. “Coming from one non-profit to another, one of the things I learned was to work within a very small budget. Schlow’s budget — as people know — is very lean. While it is my job to market and inform, I have a very small budget for that,” Paul said.

SIGN OF THE TIMES: This mural is on the wall at the Children’s Advocacy Center of Centre County, where efforts are under way to address issues related to child abuse.

Advocacy Center making an impact By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — Despite only being open for a little more than five months, the Children’s Advocacy Center of Centre County has already had a big impact on the community. The center, located at Mount Nittany Health’s Medical Park Lane, provides collaborative care to children who may have been abused, according to its website. By gathering representatives from multiple organizations at one time for interviews, a team is formed in the best interest of the child. One of the main goals of the center is to bring “awareness that child abuse is prevalent in every community” and “provide the community the opportunity to be involved in combating the issue and educating the community as well,” said Kristina TaylorPorter, director of the center. Being the only Children’s Advocacy Center in central Pennsylvania, Taylor-Porter said a lot

of surrounding counties have been utilizing its services for interviews and exams. “We’ve definitely been working on building relationships with the surrounding counties,” she said. “Our approach is to ensure that there’s a team … in the investigation of child abuse. It may be a little different than what the counties are used to, but we really push to make sure that the kids are getting the best service, not only from the CAC but from the team that’s supposed to be doing the investigation.” “We’re still developing our best procedures,” Taylor-Porter said. “Every CAC is different and working in different counties, we really have to adjust to the culture of that county.” A major struggle in other counties, she said, is the availability of mental health services. This is true not only for the child, but also for family members who might need the services as well. Advocacy Center, Page 6 Sports .......................... 20-23 Arts & Entertainment ..... 24

Repeat snake thief sentenced By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

BELLEFONTE — A Milesburg man was sentenced on Friday to up to seven years in prison for a series of crimes involving stolen snakes, firearms and heroin. Nathan Flick, 20, first drew the attention of law enforcement in May 2013 when he and two accomplices broke into a Union Township home and stole 13 snakes valued at $30,000, according to a news release from the district attorney’s office. After attempting to sell the snakes at a reptile show in Hamburg, Flick was apprehended and later convicted of various theft charges. While waiting to be sentenced, Flick was arrested a second time less than a year after the first incident. Flick stole three snakes valued at more than $900 from the Petco store in Patton Township in March 2014, according to the news release. The snakes were eventually recovered in Mill Hall. The next month, Flick once again drew the attention of law enforcement. He and

another man reportedly stole a rifle and sold it for $350. After driving to Williamsport to purchase heroin with the money from the stolen gun, Flick was arrested a third time. Given the repeated nature of Fleck’s offenses, prosecutors NATHAN FLICK successfully argued that he should face no less than three years in state prison. He was convicted on several charges including burglary, retail theft, conspiracy to commit retail theft, receiving stolen property, theft by deception and criminal conspiracy. “This Defendant knew no bounds in his quest for heroin, as if one snake caper wasn’t enough, when he ran out of snakes to steal he moved onto firearms,” District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller said in a prepared statement. “We are pleased we were able to put an end to this before guns ended up in the hands of drug dealers.”

THE 29TH ANNUAL Last Cruise will roll through State College on Sunday afternoon. There’s a classic car show, followed by awards and then open cruising on College and Beaver avenues. Proceeds from the cruise benefit the Centre County Youth Service Bureau.

By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Get ready to cruise again, Centre County. The 29th annual Last Cruise will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, July 27, along Allen Street in downtown State College. Proceeds from the event will go to the Centre County Youth Service Bureau. “Things are coming along beautifully,” said YSB CEO Andrea Boyles. “I think we’ve finally hit our stride with what this show can be.” The cars will be lined up along Allen Street all the way down to College Avenue.

Car enthusiasts can walk around and enjoy the sights of the polished classic automobiles. “We’re thrilled to be in that first block,” Boyles said. There will be approximately 70 cars on display, according to Boyles. “It’s an invitation-only show, which means cars apply and we have a selection committee … these are really intended to be the best of the best vehicles. We also have committee members who go out across the commonwealth and invite cars that really stand out,” Boyles said. In addition to the classic cars, there will be food, music and plenty of children’s activities. “It’s definitely a family-friendly event,” she said. Boyles hopes that families will come out and use the time at the Last Cruise to bond with their children. “I encourage families to use the time to have a conversation with kids. Grand-

parents can take kids downtown and talk about what it was like when they learned to drive. What kind of vehicles did they drive? What kinds of vehicles did their parents drive? It’s a great opportunity to talk to kids about hobbies and passion for things. Talk to the car owners about how hard they work to make these vehicles what they are,” Boyles said. In the State College Municipal Building, there will be a plethora of children’s activities, including games and face painting. The show runs until 4 p.m. Awards will be presented at the end of the show. Following the awards ceremony, everyone is invited to “cruise” around Beaver and College avenues until 6:30 p.m. “I really encourage people to come out and cruise or come out and watch as they cruise,” Boyles said. She is hoping that the Last Cruise will raise around $20,000 for YSB. “This is really an opportunity for any-

one to come out and be part of a YSB event. That’s really important to us … it’s critically important to us that families can gather. Families spend so much time inside, focused on technology,” Boyles said. “This is an opportunity to get out, enjoy the fresh air, see some friends, neighbors and some beautiful cars.” YSB is halfway through its event season. According to Boyles, its “On the Fly” fly fishing event and “On the Green” golf tournament raised around $130,000. The Last Cruise is the organization’s third event of four. The final will be the “On the Field,” sporting clays event scheduled for Friday, Sept. 19. “All of these dollars are going to help kids and families here in Centre County,” Boyles said.

‘Vietnam Revisited’ educates and honors By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

BOALSBURG — Pennsylvania Military Museum educator Joe Horvath crawled on his belly through the dirt, sweeping the ground in front of him with a stick to check for booby traps. Moving through the underbrush next to the museum in Boalsburg over the weekend, each distant movement may have been the Viet Cong and each breeze may have carried the wafting smell of napalm. On the museum lawn Saturday and Sunday, military reenactors guided visitors on a trip into a not-so-distant past with the sixth annual “Vietnam Revisted� event. A bivouac of canvas tents housed soldiers and nurses. New recruits were taught proper weapon maintenance. Just outside the camp on Sunday morning, Horvath led State College residents Sam Emel and his son, Sam Emel III, on a scouting mission through a path in the woods around the museum. He guided them past booby traps, teaching them how to silently navigate the terrain to avoid drawing attention from enemy forces. The elder Emel and his son have been coming to Vietnam Revisited, along with the museum’s other summer

events, for the last several years. A former military reenactor himself, Emel said events like this provide a unique opportunity to experience the past. “It makes history three dimensional,� he said. For Boalsburg resident and Vietnam War veteran Richard Dunkel, Vietnam Revisited and events like it reveal interesting truths about this country and its history. He thinks many people are unaware of “just how rotten veterans were treated� when they returned from Vietnam. “A lot of the time, the only people that welcomed you home was your family,� Dunkel said. Though the recent Veterans Affairs medical care scandal shows that veterans still face difficulties, Dunkel said events like Vietnam Revisited show “people are starting to understand us now.� Thomas Gray, founder of the Greater Pennsylvania Military Preservation Association, has helped lead a company of reenactors in Vietnam Revisited for the last six years. For him, educating the public by recreating history is a way of honoring America’s veterans. Gray realizes “it’s not possible to truly recreate war.� When he first started the preservation association, he worried people might see it as “just dressing up and playing,� rather than as a sincere tribute. In the time since, both his organization and Vietnam Revisited have grown more

Area police departments provide vacation home checks By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — School’s out, which means summer fun is in and it’s a great time to vacation with the family. There’s no worry about missed schoolwork or related activities. Leaving your home and personal belongings for any period of time, however, does bring the risk of burglary. That’s why a vacation home check, a service offered by area police departments, could help in putting your mind at ease while you’re out of town. Sgt. R.W. Glenny, of the Ferguson Township Police Department, said that burglars are “smart� and are conscious of what houses and apartments people are coming and going from, and which are left vacant. “The program is real good for us and

them,� he said. “If we notice (anything), we’ll take action.� Capt. Matthew Wilson, of the State College Borough Police Department, said that they offer the vacation home check service to residents in the borough, College Township and Harris Township. Some of the information that residents will be asked to provide to sign up for the service is their name, address, phone number, date of departure, date of return, emergency contact, spare key, if lights are on a timer, if mail is still being delivered, if there will be a vehicle in the driveway and who is authorized to be on the property. When a patrol car is in the area or neighborhood of a home that signed up for a check, officers will stop there and check for anything suspicious, make sure there has been no forced entry to the house, and alert the homeowner if some-

thing is amiss. For this reason, Wilson suggest vacationers give the police a cell phone number or neighbor’s contact information so that they can be reached immediately. While vacation home checks are available during any season and have been offered in area police departments for many years, advances in technology now allow for the checks to be scheduled online on the police departments’ websites. There is still the option, however, to call in a request. In the age of the Internet and posting daily activities on social media, both Glenny and Wilson advise against posting that you’re on vacation or away from your home. “I don’t think it’s a good thing to broadcast to too many people that you’re leaving town,� Glenny said. “Beyond neighbors and family, I wouldn’t go crazy.�

“Who knows who is looking at your posts,� Wilson said. “You need to be careful.� Wilson and Glenny said that there are several things people should do before they leave their home for any period of time: n Triple check to make sure all doors and windows are locked. n Put lights on timers and leave a car in the driveway to make it seem like someone is home. n Have mail and paper stopped so it’s not building up in the mailbox. Or, ask a trusted neighbor or family member to collect it. n Let neighbors know to look out for suspicious activity and to contact the police if they think something is wrong. “If you think something is ever suspicious or amiss, call the police department,� Glenny said.

standard practice for coaches who were released without cause to be paid their full wages for 18 months beginning on July 1 following a termination. They say they were told in December 2011 by a human relations manager that if they were not retained, their severance packages would begin July 1, 2012. But the coaches say Penn State purposely accelerated the severance so it began in January 2012 rather than July 12, thus ending it six months early. In this way, attorneys say Paterno and Kenney were denied six months of payments and benefits. They ask through the lawsuit for the university to pay those wages to the coaches, in addition to punitive damages for civil conspiracy, intentional interference with prospective contractual relations, civil rights violations and violations of Pennsylvania employment law. Paterno and Kenney are represented by Maurice Mitts and Edward Mazurek. Penn State did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

July 24-30, 2014 Paul, from page 1 At Schlow, Paul is responsible for getting the word out about everything the library does — programs, events, art displays and the like. “In a nutshell, the role is to make sure everyone in the community knows of all the services available here. We have such a wide variety of programs and services that cater to every type of interest possible. From children to young adults to adults, there are events, hard copy and online resources that they might not know about. We want people to keep getting the most out of their library card,” Paul said. Paul knows that for the library to thrive that thousands of people need to come through the doors every single day. “Some have called Schlow the ‘community’s living room.’ This is true in a number of ways. It is a meeting place, it is a sanctuary, it is a retreat. It provides not just academic and educational resources. There are things here to feed the soul. In that way, it feeds the soul of the community,” Paul said. You name it, and Schlow probably offers it. Art displays? Check. Reading clubs for children? Check. Book clubs for adults? Check. There’s even a knitting club. “It all nourishes our community in a variety of different ways,” Paul said. Schlow’s location — on the corner of Allen Street and Beaver Avenue — is just about perfect, she said. “It’s a meeting place that everyone has access to. All of the services are free, all of them are accessible to residents of our community. In that sense, it eliminates a lot of barriers and brings people together like no other institution,” Paul said. As communications manager, Paul’s news releases go to local newspapers, radio stations and television stations. Typically, she’s trying to drum up publicity for the library. In this day and age, though, there’s also social media. Schlow has a Facebook page as well as a Twitter account (@schlowlibrary). “With a small budget, we need to make the most of social media. We’re trying to make sure people spread the word and share our value through word of mouth. All of those things help to keep the expenses down,” Paul said.

The Centre County Gazette The library’s website (www.schlowlibrary.org) was re-designed recently. “It’s been up for a couple of months. It has really changed how people can access information about Schlow. We need to get the word out about that. One of the great new features is that people can search an interest and not just find what’s in the catalog, but what’s happening at Schlow,” Paul said. There are many offerings through Schlow that the average library visitor may not know about. Paul explained that for homebound residents, the library’s magazine subscriptions can be accessed online. There’s also TumbleBooks — interactive children’s books — and free downloadable music available to library cardholders. Paul said that one of the library’s most popular sources is the bank of computers with Internet access. For Centre County residents who do not have a computer or Internet, it’s invaluable. Adults are able to look for employment and children are able to complete homework thanks in part to the library’s computers. “For those who don’t have a computer or Internet connectivity, it’s a really important service. How else do you find a job? We’re able to provide that service. It’s increasingly important. Bridging that digital divide is the duty of a public library,” Paul said. According to Paul, one of the best kept secrets at Schlow is the “gadget classes” that the library offers. The classes help the less tech-savvy learn about today’s technology. “Folks can come in and learn about their Kindle or their iPad … any sort of gadget that they have,” Paul said. “Increasingly, these come without manuals. Not everyone is tech-savvy. I’m one of those people, too. The ‘gadget classes’ are just an incredible resource.” If it seems like there’s a lot going on at Schlow, that’s because there is. According to Paul, it’s keeping her busy. She wouldn’t have it any other way. “I’m still learning so much about what goes on here,” Paul said. “But I love it very much.” Paul resides in State College with her husband, Michael, and daughters Ann Marie, 13, and Ezra, 11.

Penn State student dies after being hit by truck By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — State College police have confirmed reports that a Penn State student hit by a truck while jogging earlier this month has died. Freshman Eva O’Brian was struck along North Atherton Street by a pickup truck driven by Zachariah Spicer, 24, of State College, at 9:46 a.m. on July 3, police said. After being taken to Mt. Nittany Hospital, she was later transferred to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Sunday morning, the Philadelphia cor-

oner’s office told police that O’Brian had passed away from injuries resulting from the accident. Police say a full autopsy is scheduled. The driver was not at fault, according to reports. A Hospital of the University of PennsylEVA O’BRIAN vania spokesperson also confirmed O’Brian died, but was unable to provide details.

Jury finds man not guilty of aggravated assault By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

BELLEFONTE — A Centre County jury found a State College man innocent of aggravated assault related to a domestic violence incident. The jury found 26-year-old Joseph David Frey innocent Friday for charges of aggravated assault, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person. State College police arrested Frey for an Aug. 9 domestic incident. Frey’s attorney, Steve Trialonas, of State College, argued the victim suffered injuries while he acted in self-defense. “I am extremely grateful the jury was

able to see through the antiquated gender biases presented in this case and apply the law in a fair and impartial manner,” Trialonas said in an email. “The laws of self-defense apply equally, including situations where a man has to defend himself against the unlawful force of a woman. My client was attacked by his girlfriend. All he did was defend himself. He was arrested, she was not.” District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller said in a prepared statement, “Fact finding is the sole province of the jury and as always, we accept their verdict and thank them for their service.” Centre County Common Pleas Judge Pamela A. Ruest presided over the trial.

Advocacy Center, from page 1 The center recently selected a governing board, which Taylor-Porter said meets quarterly. “They are making sure that we’re meeting the needs of the community and we’re representing CACs well within Pennsylvania,” Taylor-Porter said. The center is up for accreditation through the National Children’s Alliance, which is the national association and accrediting body for CACs, and the board is currently making sure those standards are being met. Board members include Patricia Best, Steve Brown, Herb Hand, Jack Infield and Kim Neely. The center also recently hired Kimberly Saltsman to conduct forensic interviews. Taylor-Porter said Saltsman comes in “highly trained and prepared to conduct the interviews.” However, Saltsman will continue to attend various trainings, Taylor-Porter said. “We’re blessed to have her on board.” “Part of what we do is also the medical exam on site directly after our forensic interviews to ensure the child’s needs are being met,” Taylor-Porter said. “One of the things that we would like to have is additional trained staff to conduct those exams for emergency cases.” The center has submitted a grant proposal to the district attorney’s office to obtain money for this. In addition, the center received funds this year from Penn State’s 2013-14 bowl money. In all, the 12 Big Ten conference schools, including Penn State, were given a portion of what would have been Penn State’s bowl game revenue for the season to distribute to the child-focused agencies of their choice, according to Erin Welsh, Mount Nittany Health communications coordinator. This year, Penn State gave half of their allocated funds, $114,693.88, to the center, she said. The other half was distributed to the Stewards of Children program. “That has been a huge help in terms of assisting in our financial needs,” Taylor-Porter said. “The fact that we’re receiving additional funds to support and sustain our services is validation that our services are much needed in the community.” White, from page 1 be a part of what’s going on outside, and I think that helps a lot, in terms of bringing the game atmosphere to that area. CCG: With the video board construction and new technology, what’s your perspective on how the game atmosphere has changed over the years, compared to what it was like when you were a player to now? BW: I think because we’re living in a society and in a world where people crave perpetual stimulation, I think a lot of that has crept in, because now it’s become more than just about the main event. In the old days, the reason you left your home and left your landlines was to get away and watch a ballgame. Well now, people bring all those things with them to the main event, so it’s not just about football anymore. It’s about the fireworks, it’s about the cheerleaders, it’s about the mascot, it’s about the loud music, and it’s about all these other little asides that people have grown up with now. They need that constant stimulation. CCG: In talking with alumni as often as you do, what is it about this area and the Penn State football program that keeps them coming back for games and renewing their season tickets? BW: It’s memories, fond memories of hanging out with friends and family, and tradition. I think a lot of it is just

She said that officials in surrounding counties are using the facility. fond memories of their time here as students, and you always come back to those places where you have the fondest memories. CCG: You have an eclectic background, how did your previous experiences help prepare you for your current role and building relationships with alumni? BW: I think I’ve always been focused, and I think I’ve always had a real good sense of who I was, and what I wanted, and I think I’ve always enjoyed people. I think a combination of all those different pieces has led me down this path to where I am today. CCG: How often do you think about your playing days? BW: Not as much as you might think. I think a lot about the relationships I formed with the guys I played with, but the actual playing days, while I do focus on those from time to time, they’re not really at the forefront as much as the relationships are. CCG: What’s special about those relationships? BW: Those formative years as a player and just remembering how special it is in life when you can actually meet other people with different backgrounds from your own and that you can actually come together and form a commitment to a particular idea and see that through is an incredible thing. When you think about all the different teams across the country that are knocking themselves out to be champions, it’s amazing what it takes to make that happen. It’s not just about ability, but there’s a chemistry that has to take place, and to think that it took place the way it did multiple times with that group speaks volumes about those relationships, and I think that was at the forefront to winning championships.

CCG: Speaking of relationships, how often did you talk to former equipment manager Brad “Spider” Caldwell (who recently retired) over the years, and did you have much interaction with him? BW: In my current role, not a lot, but my relationship with Brad, going back to my playing years, was strong enough that we could go weeks without talking, but if he needed something or if I needed something, we could call and just pick up right where we left off and move forward. He’s one of those unique individuals who was a part of that whole football operations in the championship years, and he was an integral part of that. CCG: To follow on that, what about Spider stood out to you and made him special, because a lot of people read his name and see the stories, but you experienced his impact first-hand. BW: He was trustworthy and dependable, he was always positive. He was one of those guys during two-a-days when everybody was tired of each other, and sore and tired and had enough, he was able to make us all laugh. If you needed to know anything, Spider seemed to have a good feel of what was going on, he was a good information source about a lot of things. When you think about winning championships, Spider was one of those quiet individuals in the background that was a big, big part of making that happen. You came off of that field during a series of plays and he would find you and he would make sure you had water and you were hydrated for the next series. He would make sure your cleats were clean so you were getting good footing out on the field. If your face mask was broken, he would jump on it right away and fix it. He had you ready for that next series, he got you through those contests and it’s guys like Spider who go unnoticed week-by-week, game-by-game, but it’s people like him who makes it happen. CCG: I’m not sure if many people know this, but you’re a board member and vice chairperson for the Penn State Federal Credit Union. What else do you like to do in your free time? BW: I think it’s very important for anybody to maintain physical and emotional health and to have balance and to have other interests. That’s one of the things that I’ve tried to do over the years, so I have other things that I’m interested in and that I like to do. I still train, I love to garden, I love history, I love to read about history, in particular, history as it pertains to my own heritage. I love reading and understanding as much as I can about the Civil War. I love to collect antiques; I like old furniture, so there are a lot of things like that that I’m into.

What should U.S. do about kids? The crisis along the southern U.S. border has politicians and immigration officials scrambling. More than 52,000 children, mostly from Central American nations, have arrived so far this year. The Department of Homeland Security is running out of space to hold them all. President Barack Obama is asking Congress for $3.7 billion to cover the growing “care, feeding and transportation costs of unaccompanied children and family groups.” Texas Gov. Rick Perry criticized the president’s plan, saying more money should go toward securing the border. But the larger question may be whether these illegal immigrant children should be allowed to stay in the United States or deported to their home countries. How much compassion can America afford? Columnists Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk weigh in on the issue.

JOEL MATHIS

There’s not a single good reason the United States — a nation built by immigrants — should not welcome and embrace the thousands of young children appearing on our border. We should do everything we can to welcome them, make them safe and install them with families that will help them become part the next great generation of Americans. Consider the traditional arguments against illegal immigration: These youngsters aren’t here to compete for jobs, so they’re not going to drive down wages or take employment away from current citizens. Assimilation won’t be a problem, since they’re arriving young enough for America to make Americans out of them. And the idea that we should turn them away simply because they’re here illegally? That illegality is a choice we’ve made, and not necessarily for good reasons. We can unmake it for better reasons. Otherwise,

the argument is a tautology in the service of cruelty. Which leaves one possible good argument against allowing all those youngsters in the United States: That they’ll cost the country an enormous amount of money spent on care and services that we should be spending on American citizens instead. Maybe. But we’re already spending a lot of that money keeping those children in camps, behind fences, as they wait their turn to go through a bureaucracy. We can make that money work for America’s future, or we can toss it down a rathole as we turn away youngsters who need what we can offer and who can pay us back through public service and a revitalized economy for decades to come. For decades to come, America will be judged for how it treats these children — children! — who have fled evil and deprivation in their own lands. If we truly are as exceptional a country as we tell ourselves, we will become amazing hosts to them. They deserve our love, our generosity and our willingness not to be as stupid and hardhearted as our politics sometimes make us. It’s time to welcome these children to their new home.

BEN BOYCHUK

One of the most reprehensible trends of the past generation is the use and abuse of children as political props. What’s happening along the southern U.S. border may be a humanitarian crisis, but it’s a crisis of our own making. This child abuse needs to stop. How did this happen? First, President George W. Bush in 2008 signed a law aimed at combating trafficking of children. But the law has had the opposite effect, as families pay thousands of dollars to smugglers to get their children to the border. The law gave hefty new protections to kids entering the United

States alone, as long as they weren’t from Canada or Mexico. It’s no accident that most of the children who have arrived in the past two years are from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. And what makes the past two years so significant? In 2012, thenHomeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano released a memo claiming “prosecutorial discretion” in exempting nearly 1 million illegal immigrants — all minors — from deportation. The message was unambiguous: If you’re under 18, and you arrive in the United States alone and in one piece, odds are, you’ll get to stay. We were once a nation built by immigrants. It’s true. And we need immigrants today. But we also need educated people, people with skills — people with something to give. We do not need tens of thousands of destitute children sent here by their families and abetted by their governments on rumors of free housing, free education and free health care. “It’s just obvious,” the late, great free-market economist Milton Friedman famously said, “you can’t have free immigration and a welfare state.” Is our immigration and naturalization system hopelessly broken? No question. Fact is, some 4.5 million people around the world are waiting for their legal opportunity to enter the United States. They’ve done everything the law requires, yet they languish because our bureaucracy is ill-equipped to meet the demand. Americans are a compassionate people. We should feed these children, shelter them, clothe them and treat the sick as needed. And then we should send them back to their home countries where they belong.

The shootdown of a passenger jet over Ukraine — with the loss of nearly 300 lives — is a human tragedy and a moral abomination. Part of the outrage is that Russian leader Vladimir Putin is trying to avoid culpability. His hands are bloody, or should we say bloodier. Russia started this confrontation with Ukraine and armed pro-Russian separatists with surface-to-air missiles that almost certainly brought down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. Putin and his minions can’t now disavow the horrible consequences if trigger-happy separatists mistook the Boeing 777 for a Ukrainian military plane last week. President Barack Obama correctly made that point during a White House press conference. He also rightly said that this atrocity shows that the Ukraine crisis, which had faded from the front pages, must be resolved. “This should snap everybody’s heads to attention,” he said. Obama is cool, calm and collected — usually good traits for the commander in chief. Still, you wish that he’d show some real emotion in times like these. So far, European leaders, because of their closer economic ties with Russia, have been unwilling to follow the increasingly tough sanctions enacted by the U.S. Maybe the deaths of so many of their own citizens will change their minds and help increase the pressure on Putin. “Russia can end this war,” Samantha Power, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said last week. “Russia must end this war.” To prevent more civilian casualties, that can’t come soon enough.

Moon landing brought us all together By JOHN TIMPANE The Philadelphia Inquirer

It was, after all, only a boot-crunching dust. You wouldn’t think the sight would affect so many or change so much. But we saw it, on TV. We saw it and were changed, along with the human world around us. Like many readers, I was sitting in a room with my family July 20, 1969, when Neil Armstrong hopped off that ladder onto the moon. I nearly missed it, plumb forgot, but then I happened into the living room, where my parents and huge assortment of sibs were sitting in a half-circle, watching. There had to be TV. The United States wanted to show the world proof we’d beaten the Russians in the space race. More, it was a TV age: Many of us had watched Lee Harvey Oswald gunned down live in 1963, watched a president’s funeral, watched “Our World” in 1967, the first live global television link, featuring, among many other things, a studio Beatles performance from London of “All You Need Is Love.” We believed TV shrank the world and put it in our pockets. (And that is a measure of what’s changed. Back then, “the power of TV” was praised all the time, and we could feel it, when The Beatles played and men moonwalked live. Today, that power is a given, unremarked, invisible.) When the TV picture snapped to the audiovisual link from the moon, it was hard to see at first. Shadow silhouetted Armstrong, behind him the black blank of space, slashed with the arc of the lunar horizon. The contrast settings were wrong; on some TVs you could barely see Armstrong. It was surreal; we had to adjust, to “make it out.” Why was the picture so poor? It was a picture of a picture. The TV camera on the Apollo 11 Lunar Module was a “slow-scan,” narrowband TV camera, used in early space exploration because it saved bandwidth and could be transmitted over voice channels. Problem: At a pokey 10 frames a second, it wasn’t easily compatible with broadcast TV. So a broadcast-TV camera was pointed at a 10-inch direct monitor. That signal, lossy and noisy, was encoded, processed, sent to Houston, and thence to the world. “We’re really seeing it,” arose in the room, either Mom or ... or one of my eight brothers and sisters. That was the point: Bad picture or not, it was enough to realize we were seeing it, to connect. That live image reached 600 million

people that evening. I can’t have been the only one with my scalp prickling. My family’s certainly were not the only smiles in the world, realizing history in front of us. So the picture was garbled, and Armstrong’s rehearsed line, “One small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind,” was garbled. What wasn’t was the reception in each mind watching. If you want to be moved, look up some of the pictures of the TV-watching crowds across the world at that moment, some small, some large, just ... gazing. (Michael Collins, orbiting the moon, in the Columbia command spacecraft, had no TV. The capsule communicator in Houston quipped, “I guess you’re about the only person that doesn’t have TV coverage of the scene.”) That was, and remains, among the longest-ever direct communications links among human beings, vaulting 239,000 miles in seconds, ping-ponging as described above, and reaching so many minds. It remains a metaphor for the amazing things people can do. It came at a troubled time: When I think of it, the troubles come back to mind. And so does the astonishment. Armstrong descending is an image of what’s possible. A very few people don’t think it ever happened. And, to be sure, with war abroad and social upheaval across the land, this country had enough work on earth without busying itself in the heavens. But it signaled a change in the world, a different consciousness of our planet and ourselves. It is a communal memory, too, shared by this race of gifted creatures, video, vivid, telling and retelling. John Timpane is a staff writer for the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Don’t skimp on shades during the summer HERSHEY — Sunscreen and sunglasses top the list of summertime must-haves for most people. But just as skin can burn on an overcast or chilly day, eyes can sustain damage anytime you’re outdoors without sunglasses. Although it’s fashionable to slip on a sleek pair of shades, Tara O’Rourke, an optometrist at Penn State Hershey, says shopping for sunglasses should be about more than just looks. Larger frames may be the style now, but they are also more effective at protecting the eye, eyelid and surrounding tissues from harmful ultraviolet, or UV, rays. “The delicate skin of the eyelid is susceptible to basal cell carcinoma,� O’Rourke said. “Wraparound frames — or those with a closer fit — can also protect the temple area.� When it comes to the shade of the lenses, darker isn’t necessarily always better. It depends what you plan to use them for. Dark gray and dark brown tints don’t distort color perception as much, while light amber lenses filter out blue light that is linked to macular degeneration. “Those are good for people who want to heighten contrast — pilots, skiers, boaters, golfers,� O’Rourke said. Polarized lenses have a vertical component that reduces glare and reflection off

horizontal surfaces, so they can be a good choice for driving, boating and fishing. For active types who worry about losing their sunglasses while engaged in outdoor recreation, O’Rourke recommends using cords that can be worn around the back of the neck and attach to the glasses at the temples, such as Gorilla Grips. Serious swimmers can get prescription, tinted swim goggles for pool time, while recreational users may be fine using regular sunglasses as much as possible when they aren’t underwater. O’Rourke advises against using contact lenses while swimming because of the increased possibility of infection. The most important thing is to look for glasses that offer 100 percent UVA and UVB protection — or a UV 400 sticker, which basically means the same thing. UVC rays are blocked by the Earth’s ozone layer, but UVB rays can damage the front surface of the eye, causing conditions such as pingueculum or pterygium, growths on the moist membranes of the eye around the cornea. UVA rays can pass through the cornea and go deeper into the eye, damaging the lens and retina, which can lead to cataracts or macular degeneration. “You rarely see these conditions in younger patients because they are cumulative, but it’s important to think about

A HIGH-QUALITY pair of sunglasses is important to protect the eyes from UV rays. protection earlier than later,� O’Rourke said. Children are particularly susceptible to the damaging effects of sun because the lenses of their eyes are as clear as they will ever be during their lifetime, allowing more light to penetrate. Also, because kids tend to spend more time out of doors than many adults, they have more exposure to

the sun. Polycarbonate lenses are a good choice for children, as well as adults who may be doing outdoor chores such as mowing or trimming because they are lightweight and impact resistant. “They won’t shatter,� O’Rourke said. They are also FDA approved for shatter resistance and 100 percent UV protection.

Cereal flake size influences calorie intake

UNIVERSITY PARK — People eat more breakfast cereal, by weight, when flake size is reduced, according to Penn State researchers, who showed that when flakes are reduced by crushing, people pour a smaller volume of cereal into their bowls, but still take a greater amount by weight and calories. “People have a really hard time judging appropriate portions,” said Barbara Rolls, professor of nutritional sciences and Helen A. Guthrie Chair in Nutrition. “On top of that you have these huge variations in volume that are due to the physical characteristics of foods, such as the size of individual pieces, aeration and how things pile up in a bowl. That adds another dimension to the difficulty of knowing how much to take and eat.” According to Rolls, national dietary guidelines define recommended amounts of most food groups in terms of measures of volume such as cups. “This can be a problem because, for most foods, the recommended amounts have not been adjusted for variations in physical properties that affect volume, such as aeration, cooking, and the size and shape of individual pieces.” Rolls said. “The food weight and energy required to fill a given volume can vary, and this variation in the energy content of recommended amounts could be a challenge to the maintenance of energy balance.” The researchers tested the influence of food volume on calorie intake by systematically reducing the flake size of a breakfast cereal with a rolling pin so that the cereal was more compact and the same weight filled a smaller volume. In a crossover design, the team recruited 41 adults to eat cereal for breakfast

once a week for four weeks. The cereal was either standard wheat flakes or the same cereal crushed to reduce the volume to 80 percent, 60 percent or 40 percent of the standard. The researchers provided a constant weight of cereal in an opaque container and participants poured the amount they wanted into a bowl, added fat-free milk and non-calorie sweetener as desired, and consumed as much as they wanted. The researchers reported their results in the current issue of the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The research showed that as flake size was reduced, subjects poured a smaller volume of cereal, but still took a significantly greater amount by weight and energy content. Despite these differences, subjects estimated that they had taken a similar number of calories of all versions of the cereal. They ate most of the cereal they took, so as flake size was reduced, breakfast energy intake increased. “When faced with decreasing volumes of cereal, the people took less cereal,” Rolls said. “Yet, even though they thought they were taking the same number of calories, they ended up significantly overeating.” According to Rolls, the findings of the study have implications for both portion selection and dietary advice. National guidelines for most food groups define recommended amounts in terms of volume, such as cups, but only a few adjustments are made for differences in food volume stemming from physical properties of food, she said. Rolls’ 2012 book, “The Ultimate Volumetrics Diet,” offers readers practical tips on how to use variations in food volume

PSU summer camp extends the human experience By JENNIFER STRUBLE Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — Killing people is something that keeps Sean Brennan up at night. “I have to live with the consequences of whatever choices I make right now,� he said. Brennan is not a serial killer. He is, however, challenging students to think about the ethical quandaries of being responsible for human lives. Since 2003, he has been a professor of mechanical engineering in Penn State’s College of Engineering, but during June and July he leads a camp in the Science-U program, one of the Eberly College of Science’s largest youth offerings. The choices he’s making now involve how best to teach the next generation to think beyond the easy questions. Every summer the college coordinates summer camps at the University Park campus for kids ranging from second grade to high school. Dedicated to fostering their scientific curiosity, the Science-U summer camps regularly have between 500 and 600 participants. This year Brennan debuted a brand new camp, A.I. vs. Science-U, which focuses on teaching high school students the basics of robotics and programming and how to develop an understanding of robots as an extension of the human experience. “The embedded intelligence within robots is starting to bring up some interesting ethical dilemmas,� explained Brennan. The game changes when humans become the driving force behind the way computers “think.� Self-driving cars, once an imagined possibility for the future, are now a reality. Cooperative adaptive cruise control, a system car manufacturers are implementing in test vehicles around the world, places control of the vehicle in the vehicle’s proverbial hands. Or, rather, in the hands of the computer controlling the car. “This cruise control system will set the speed to follow the car in front of you,� said Brennan. “That follow-theleader will continue until either the human overrides the system, or the vehicle runs out of fuel.� This doesn’t take all responsibility away from the driver, Brennan explained. Certain situations, such as a jackknifed fuel tanker or hazardous weather conditions, still require a human reaction. But this dual-control means car manufacturers could face lawsuits over who, or what, is at fault when a driver is injured or killed in an accident when the vehicle’s automated system doesn’t detect something dangerous ahead. “Who’s at fault?� asked Brennan. “Is it the car’s auto-

matic system or the person behind the wheel? Perhaps it’s the computer programmer who designed the system?� There’s a reason Brennan is so instinctive about asking these difficult questions — he’s been doing it since he was a kid. The excitement of boldly going into a new frontier lured Brennan toward becoming an astronaut. Focusing his studies on math and science, he applied and was accepted into the U.S. Air Force Academy. “I met a bunch of astronauts while I was there, and I realized something about them pretty quickly,� he said. “They’re very much instantaneous problem solvers. It’s the engineers on the ground who are thinking about the long-term, big picture.� And that is exactly where Brennan wanted to be, too. He became fascinated with how humans will eventually explore the far reaches of the universe. “It’s not going to be with our fragile bodies,� he explained. “We’re going to build super-intelligent robots to withstand the hazardous conditions our bodies can’t.� That exploration won’t happen without automation, which became one of Brennan’s areas of expertise. While attending a conference in 2003, a Penn State faculty member approached Brennan about a teaching position at the university. While here, a colleague asked him to bring some of his robots to a summer camp at Penn State Berks to demonstrate their automation capabilities. Brennan was a hit. “I was only supposed to be there until noon,� he said, laughing. “By 4 o’clock they still couldn’t get the kids to leave.� Requests for a few hours of demonstration turned into requests for a full day, then an entire week. Finally, Brennan was asked to coordinate and run his own camp during the Science-U summer camps at University Park, where he’s teaching others to think critically about the ethics of robotics. One way Brennan plans on imparting these lessons is by giving his students an unsolvable problem. “At some point, a car will be built that will make a decision of whether or not it has to save the passenger or kill the person outside the vehicle,� he said. “If you hit the pedestrian, they’ll almost certainly be killed. If you swerve to avoid them, the car could go over a cliff and kill the driver.� Brennan challenges his students to think about these types of dilemmas. As future programmers, they’ll need to answer those unsolvable questions before they input decision-making algorithms into consumer vehicles. Brennan said there’s one activity in particular that really gets students thinking. Camp staff will set up robotic vehicles to follow a loop in cruise control, changing the

Brennan said this is an opportune moment to discuss how poorly programmed vehicles can cause nearly instantaneous traffic jams, hindering the ability of rescue workers to reach those in need. “There’s some liability for a programmer,� said Brennan. Brennan conceded these complex ethical dilemmas can appear to be over high school students’ heads, but explained he’s actually targeting them at the right time in their growth phases. “We’re hitting these students right when they’re starting to recognize the need to be part of the community,� he explained. “A lot of the themes we talk about in this camp go back to the notion of helping others versus helping themselves.� And these students will help others in the future, becoming the robotic engineers who program systems to explore inhospitable environments and guide consumer vehicles on self-driven road trips. Brennan is hopeful they’ll use the lessons from the safe environment of the A.I. vs. Science-U camp to save as many lives as possible in the process.

Museum features Grange Fair souvenir exhibit By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

AARONSBURG — The Penns Valley Historical Museum, located at 244 West Aaron Square in Aaronsburg, is currently displaying an exhibit of souvenirs and other memorabilia from the Grange Fair in celebration of the fair’s 140th year. The exhibit consists of a large number of souvenir custard glass, pattern glass and china glassware items, many of which date back to the turn of the last century. These items were popular from the 1890s through the 1920s, according to museum curator Kay Gray. The glassware is on loan from the collections of LeDon Young, Jim and Debbie Peterson, and Mark Lucas. Some of the pieces on display are rare, seldom-seen items, including a glass hatchet and a Native American-style glass tomahawk. “I’ve seen a lot of Grange Fair souvenirs, but I’ve never seen the hatchets before,” said Young, who was in charge of organizing the museum display. Many of the glassware items were found at yard sales and estate sales. The Grange Fair began in 1874. It was organized by Grange Master Leonard Rhone, and was called the Grangers Picnic (with a hyphenated spelling of the word “picnic”). Some of the glassware bears the original hyphenated spelling, which indicates

ment and Centre County Fair in 1915. Not all of the souvenir items are from

the event’s early days. A souvenir plate from the fair’s centennial in 1974 is included, as is a leaded glass tent from 2004. The exhibit includes glass cups, mugs, pitchers, plates and a Victorian-style matching set of pitcher, bowl and napkin ring with hand-painted flowers and the words “Souvenir of Granger’s Picnic” on all the pieces. Much of the glassware was brought to the fair without lettering, and was customized when sold. The majority of the glass pieces in the display are of very ornate design, and are in perfect condition. Gray was impressed by the excellent condition of the items, many of which are well over 100 years old. “They must have treasured them,” she said, referring to families who owned and preserved the souvenir items. In addition to the glassware items, many vintage fair tickets, premium books, parking passes, raffle tickets and other paper items are on display. One interesting item is a receipt for $3 for tent rental from 1906, signed by Leonard Rhone. Souvenir Grange Fair pottery items are also on display at the museum. The exhibit will remain at the museum through October. The Penns Valley Historical Museum is open on Saturdays from 1 to 4 p.m. and is available other times by appointment.

Butterflies celebrated at ‘Wings in the Park’ event By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — Dr. Robert “Butterfly Bob” Snetsinger said there’s a long tradition of children playing in butterfly fields and catching them with nets, but the popular pastime has been slowly decreasing, along with the habitats of many wild butterflies. Fortunately, the Snetsinger Butterfly Garden he developed 18 years ago has dedicated itself to preserving their habitat in State College. It also educates the public about the importance of butterflies and other creatures that pollenate plants through events such as the recent “Wings in the Park” celebration. Sophie Beattie-Moss, 7, of State College, said she learned all about the different kinds of pollinators – including bees, butterflies and even bats. A fan of the garden, Beattie-Moss says she enjoys coming with her grandmother to enjoy the range of flowers and butterflies. “I’ve always liked butterflies because you can catch them and let them go,” Moss said. “They’re so colorful and pretty.” Stations set up throughout the garden at Tom Tudek Memorial Park also taught

children and parents about butterfly life cycles, native plants and how pollinators determine the range of human food. While speaking to a volunteer from the Shaver’s Creek Wildlife Center at a table along the flower-lined path, Michael Shea pointed at a bowl of tomato soup when asked what foods people could still eat without bugs to pollinate plants. When the volunteer shook his head, the five-year-old pointed at a glass of orange juice, a serving of broccoli and even meatloaf before learning that almost everything humans eat depend on pollinators. Pam Ford, director of education and outreach for the butterfly garden, says that the annual event grows each year. This year’s focus was on the plight of the endangered monarch butterfly, which faces increased hardships during its annual migration. “The milkweed is the only plant the female monarch can lay eggs on, and it’s the only plant the caterpillars can eat and digest,” Pam said, explaining that this limitation is compounded by pesticides and a dwindling habitat. An obstacle course maze gave children a first-hand look into these hardships, with different obstacles representing different challenges the monarchs face each year.

Each child who participated in coloring a section of a large monarch butterfly mosaic was also given a milkweed plant of his or her own to help give these endangered animals more places to live. “The 21st-century backyard has to think about making space for these important animals,” Ford said. Ford says this mosaic will travel to schools and libraries across Centre County to help teach other children about the lives and importance of butterflies and other pollinators. Evie Patch, 4, has grown up in State College learning about butterflies and other pollinators from her mother, who works with Penn State’s Centre for Pollinator Research. She proudly boasts she can catch and identify numerous different species of butterflies. Events like “Wings in the Park” seem to have made an impact on the young naturalist. When she grows up, Evie wants to work with bees. Ayla Hanson, 11, of State College, says she was excited for the chance to dress in her bright pink butterfly wings and “be like an animal for the day.” She said that, even after learning about the difficulties facing monarch butterflies and other pol-

linators, she’s neither sad nor worried for their future. “I’m pretty glad that there are people (like those at the garden) trying to stop them from being in danger,” she said. “Having a butterfly garden like this one here is one of the best ways to help.”

‘Day of Joy’ swim meet raises money for pool By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — Isaac Karp of the Penn’s Valley swim team thrashed his legs with fury, steadily driving his unwieldy black inner tube down a lane of the Park Forest Community Pool in State College toward his cheering teammates. The inner tube relay was only one in a series of events at the Park Forest pool during the recently-held seventh annual “Day of Joy” swim meet. Swim teams from all over Centre County congregated in State College for a series of wacky relay races, including the inner tube and noodle relays, piggyback relay and three-armed relay (which is similar to the land-based three-legged race). Isaac says some of these relays are more difficult to swim than a regular lap, but each offers a fun challenge to enjoy with his teammates. “I like everything we do over the course of the day,” he said. For Isaac’s mother, Joan Karp, Saturday’s event wasn’t only a chance for her son to have fun with fellow swimmers. It was a display of the camaraderie felt between the various swim teams across Centre County. Karp, one of the head coaches of the Penn’s Valley pool swim team, says the privately operated pool has been in a difficult financial situation for years that was complicated by the retirement of the pool’s volunteer maintenance

man of the last 20 years. When parent representatives from the Central Pennsylvania Swim League learned about the pool’s position, they responded with an outpouring of support. Jim Pawelczyk, a State College Area School District board member and organizer of the Day of Joy, says the process was simple: “We all agreed that Penn’s Valley needs to remain a viable pool, so we’re taking all of the proceeds from our concessions today and donating it to them.” Karp says she was touched by this show of “immense kindness and support,” and hopes that the money raised will offset the yearly cost of maintaining the “antiquated” Penn’s Valley pool throughout the winter. This theme of countywide friendship was evident on every level of Saturday’s event. For each event participants partnered up with swimmers that would normally be their rivals, creating teams that spanned ages, genders and hometowns. “I like it when all the teams come together like this,” Collin Leave, 11, of the Park Forest swim team said. “You get to meet a lot of really good swimmers.” For Meghan Lewis, 13, of State College’s Science Park Recreation Association swim team, the Day of Joy encapsulates what she enjoys about swimming. Though it may more individualized than some sports, her favorite part is being on a team with her friends and meeting new athletes from around the area.

MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT/StateCollege.com

ABRAHAM ROVANSEK, who’s entering the Navy to pursue being a diver, has been swimming for 10 years. Even though the annual Day of Joy event is not competitive and only for fun, Rovansek said “it still really always gets crazy.”

“It’s the people that really makes this fun,” she said. “I think most of my motivation comes from my friends.”

Girl Scouts advance in rank By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — Junior Girl Scout Troop 4 of Centre Hall held a pizza dinner and bridging ceremony on July14 at Bill Arnold’s farm in Colyer. This troop of nine girls is led by Krista Winkelblech. Since its beginning, the troop has been involved in a host of activities. The girls each received their Bronze Awards. The award is the highest attainable in Junior Girl Scouting. Each girl whose name was called mentioned a community-based activity she had participated in during her time as a Junior. These activities included recycling, clothing and food drives, roadway trash pick-up, animal rescue assistance, cemetery clean-up and more. “This award is a symbol of achievement, and it means that you have learned something new, and provided a service to others,” said Winkelblech. The ceremony took place as the girls crossed a small bridge located near a pond on Arnold’s farm. The bridge is symbolic of a transition from Junior to Cadette Girl Scouts. “As you enter the world of Cadette Girl Scouting, you will discover the many ways in which you can strengthen your talents and become better leaders,” said Winkelblech. Parents and friends watched as each girl crossed the bridge and was given a khaki Cadette vest. Following the ceremony, Winkelblech read a poem and led the new Cadette Scouts in a candle lighting ceremony, with each candle representing a part of the Girl Scout Law.

Snydertown church hosts annual block party By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SNYDERTOWN — As you travel eastward through the Nittany Valley on Route 64 toward Clinton County, you will pass by the village of Snydertown. It sits off to your left, on Snydertown Road, and you might not even notice it’s there. The only landmark to catch your eye is the rising steeple of St. Mark Lutheran Church. This church, which has a membership of about 60 people and is led by Pastor Ruth Jensen, was the site of a community block party on July 19. Event organizer Judy Seymore directs a community choir called Christians With Rhythm, consisting of members from seven different churches. The choir sings at the block party every year. Seymore said

that about two-thirds of the choir members are from St. Mark Church, with the remainder coming from Jacksonville, Lamar, Centre Hall, Bellefonte and the surrounding area. Also featured this year was a concert by the Bellefonte Community Band. Different musical groups are invited each year. “It’s a free night of fun, fellowship, music, games for the kids and food,” said Seymore. Seymore was pleased with the attendance at the party, which has been held annually for about 10 years. “We get a lot of people from the community,” she said. She noted that the block party comes together with help from many volunteers from the area, and food for the picnic is supplied by church and community members.

JazzPA Festival brings top talent to Centre Region By KENDALL RUSSELL correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — On the heels of the massive cultural explosion that is Arts Festival, the annual music celebration JazzPA is set to bring another weekend of endless fun and stellar artistic talent to the Centre Region. Today through Sunday, Bellefonte will become a bustling hub of jazz enthusiasts, talented local musicians and popular icons of the jazz genre. Some of the most wellknown faces expected to make an appearance include bassist Jay Anderson, drummer Eliot Zigmund and Grammy Award-winning saxophonist Phil Woods, all of whom will perform two evening sets at the Match Factory on Saturday. Woods will also present an hour-long master class Saturday afternoon, where he will share some of his knowledge about the music industry and his own personal journey as a jazz musician. The class will be held at the Tallyrand Park Gazebo and is free of charge. Over the course of the weekend, concerts will be held at a number of local venues, including the Governor’s Pub, Zola Bistro, High Street’s Main Stage and Bellefonte’s Hofbrau. A special kick-off concert, Jazz at the Palmer, will be held at Penn State’s Palmer Museum on campus, hosted by WPSU’s Greg Peterson and featuring a guest performance by the Pittsburgh Trombone Project. JazzPA has come a long way from its humble beginnings in 2005 as the one-venue, one-day State College Jazz Festival. Due to its burgeoning popularity and the everincreasing number of out-of-town visitors, the celebration expanded to two days in 2006 and then again to three days the year after. Year after year the festival continues to grow, attracting larger crowds and larger names alike. Past guests have ranged from Sheila Jordan and Warren Vache to Byron Stripling and Tom Malone. All of this year’s outdoor events are free and will commence rain or shine. However, Saturday’s Match Factory performance will require tickets, which will be available for purchase at the door for $20, or for $15 at both Cool Beans in Bellefonte and Webster’s Bookstore Café in State College. For more information about the festival, visit www. jazzpa.org.

Newbill: LeBron camp ‘a breathtaking experience’ By JOHN PATISHNOCK sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Some phone calls don’t have to be returned right away. You can listen to the voice mail message, make a mental note and return the call in the near future. The phone call that D.J. Newbill missed a few weeks ago doesn’t qualify for this category. The Penn State senior guard had just left the gym after a workout and was talking to a friend about recently participating in Kevin Durant’s summer camp. He missed the call and listened to the message, which informed him that he’d been invited to the LeBron James Skills Academy in Las Vegas. Newbill immediately returned the call, leading to an enthusiastic response. “They said, ‘Would you be available?’” Newbill said, his voice rising. “I said, ‘Yes, I’m dropping everything, you can book my ticket, I’m there.’” Newbill averaged nearly 18 points a game last season, good for second in the Big Ten Conference. He said some guys at the camp, which featured 30 elite college basketball players, would focus more on individual technique while others just got on the court and played; imagine an elite pick-up game at your neighborhood court. Then there was Newbill, who took on a leadership role, trying to get his teammates to view the action like a more traditional game. Newbill played on LeBron’s team and said the experience was particularly beneficial because it provided the opportunity to work on his defensive game, saying he guarded plenty of guys who can score and that “will help me in the long term.” Just like everything else. “It was an experience I’m going to remember for the rest of my life, just getting to know other guys and some of the top guys in the country, it was an amazing, breathtaking experience,” Newbill said. “But one thing I took away from it is leadership, just being vocal, getting guys on the same page. I’m talking to them, trying to get everyone to play as one. It’s kind of hard when you’re at elite camps like that, but I think I did a good job at it.” Penn State junior forward Brandon Tay-

lor said the team was excited for Newbill’s invite, and hinted that it was a team accomplishment. Newbill has improved his game every year at Penn State, and part of that is the result of teammates pushing him and making him better at practice. “He’s showing the world that he can do it at Penn State and that he has guys getting him better every day,” Taylor said. “He’s proving that we’re a top-level team.”

PLAYER EVOLUTION

Change is inevitable in life, but it turns out that’s also true for the basketball court, at least if you want to thrive. “The more versatile as a player you are, the better player you are,” Taylor said. “If you can play many positions, then that’s a blessing.” Taylor feels he can play either on the wing or occasionally in the post, and possibly even the center position, if that’s needed. This helps, he said, since Penn State features a handful of players who can play multiple positions on the floor. That said, Taylor expects to occupy more of a perimeter threat this season, and he’s worked on his ball handling and outside shooting this off-season. He’s especially focused on the pick-and-roll option where he jumps out to the wing, saying he wants to create mismatches for the other team instead of being matched up against a bigger guy in the post. Taylor didn’t think like this as a freshman. When he arrived at Penn State, he envisioned himself more as a post player, but after two years of going against all the big guys the Big Ten has to offer, he’s ready to shift his game. “Coming in, I thought I was a big who could also shoot 3s and stretch the floor, but now that I’ve been playing in the Big Ten for two years, I’ve noticed that’s not really my position,” Taylor said. “I need to play against guys who are more my size, and let that big stuff with the 6-foot-9 guys.”

PUSHING IT TO THE MAX

Freshman Isaiah Washington hasn’t played a game at Penn State yet, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have any idea what to expect. The point guard and Williamsport High School graduate arrived on

PENN STATE’S D.J. Newbill earned a invite to the LeBron James Skills Academy in Las Vegas. Newbill, who averaged nearly 18 points per game last season, is hoping to take his game to the next level. campus in the middle of May, a little earlier than other incoming freshman, and has started acclimating himself to the rigors of Big Ten basketball. He’s already gained 10 pounds of muscle this summer, saying he’s changed his diet and committed to a weight-training program. “It’s definitely a transition,” Washington said. “In high school, you don’t really know that you’re not going as hard as you can, but when you get here, you definitely understand that you’ve got to work hard, 100 percent at all times and it just really pushes you to the max. It brings the best out of you, it takes your body to places you didn’t think it could go, so it was definitely good to get up here early and know what to expect.” Penn State was never on Washington’s radar for a prospective school before coach Patrick Chambers began recruiting him. That’s somewhat understandable since Washington was in junior high before Chambers’ arrival, but it’s noteworthy, in that Washington began to see Penn State

in a way he hadn’t before. He said Chambers’ recruiting effort was an “eye-opener” for him in how he viewed Penn State and its basketball program, and that his family is only a short drive away added to the lure of being a Nittany Lion. “He showed me everything that was here, and I loved it,” Washington said. “The fact that my family can come watch me play is an added bonus.”

KEEPING UP WITH FRAZIER

Senior forward Ross Travis said the team has been following the progress of Tim Frazier, who has worked out for a number of NBA teams and is currently playing for the Philadelphia 76ers’ summer league squad. Travis even met up with Frazier earlier this off-season when he went home to Minnesota and Frazier was meeting with the Timberwolves. “I went down there to see him and hang out with him a little bit,” Travis said. “It’s nice to stay in constant communication, it’s fun talking to him and keeping up with him.”

Sanderson’s top-ranked recruiting class fills needs By ANDY ELDER For the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — Taken as a whole, this may be the deepest, most talented recruiting class Cael Sanderson has assembled as he embarks on his sixth season at Penn State. Most national ratings put the class at No. 1. Of course, that assessment won’t be complete for four or five years, if — or when — the dozen recruits who are scheduled to join the team this fall finish their careers. The class starts with the big three Ns: Nick Nevills, of Clovis, Calif., Bo Nickal, of Allen, Texas, and Jason Nolf, of Kittanning. Between them, Nevills, Nickal and Nolf won nine state championships and compiled a combined 559-13 record for a .977 winning percentage. InterMat rated the three as No. 4, No. 5 and No. 7 overall in the country. The other nine are an interesting array from all over the eastern part of the United States: n Shakur Rasheed, Middle Island, N.Y., 160 pounds — Rasheed is from the same high school, Longwood, that produced former Nittany Lion great Kerry McCoy. “When I went to watch him, he’d go to his high school workout, then he would go to another workout. He’s just a guy who really works hard,” Sanderson said. “He doesn’t wrestle freestyle. He’s not well known in some of the rankings. I think he’s a guy who is flying under the radar. He’s very quick. He still has to learn how to wrestle a little bit. He still wrestles on one knee. He’s got a great cradle. If a kid’s tough on top, that’s a big deal. You think of all our guys who have dominated, they’re generally pretty good on top.” Rasheed went undefeated his junior

and senior seasons on his way to back-toback New York titles. n Devon Van Cura, Washington, N.C., 170 pounds — Van Cura finished his senior season 37-1. His only loss was in the state finals. n George Carpenter, Carrboro, N.C., 113 pounds — Carpenter won his school’s first state title. n Anthony Cassar, Montgomery, N.J., 195 pounds — Cassar finished the season at 43-0, capping his senior season with a state title. “We’re really excited about Anthony. He’s just a kind of a late bloomer. He was undefeated in New Jersey this year, a state champ. No one really knew about him. He’s a big kid, a big 197-pounder. Just a great kid. A great family. You see where he was a junior to where he was as a senior, he made a lot of strides,” Sanderson said. “He was a kid who wanted to come to Penn State, so we’re very excited about him. He wrestles hard. He shoots with his left hand a lot, which is a big incentive when we’re looking at recruits because it’s a little more effective, efficiency is a little higher. He’s a state champ in New Jersey, which is kind of a big deal. It’s all one group. He’s another guy who is under the radar also. He came here because he wants to be the best and there’s not a better place in the world to train right now than Penn State.” n Kyle Baker, Easton, 145 pounds n Kenneth Yanovich, Brodheadsville, 120 pounds n Michael Marino, Glen Mills, 132 pounds n Nick Weldon, Clay, Ala., 182 pounds — Weldon lost the first match of his junior season and then won 67 in a row, including two state championships, to finish his career.

TIM WEIGHT/Gazette file photo

PENN STATE coach Cael Sanderson has amassed quite a recruiting class as the team looks toward the 2014-15 campaign. n Jordan Pagano, Oradell, N.J., 160 pounds Unless something unforeseen happens, don’t expect to see any of the 12 wrestle this season, other than unattached in open tournaments. “I think it’s all case by case, but we’re planning to redshirt all of them, for the most part. We want to put our best team

out there. The kids have to be on board and ready to go,” Sanderson said. “There’s not a big need for us to wrestle a true freshman.” Next week: We profile Nick Nevills, a heavyweight most recruiting services considered the top 285-pounder in the country, and among the best five overall.

Woods vs. Nicklaus: A battle of the best It is one of the most iconic images in all of sports: Jack Nicklaus celebrating his birdie putt on the 17th hole of the 1986 Masters Tournament at Augusta National. That putt gave him the lead in the tournament for the first time and completed an incredible comeback from six strokes behind at the beginning of the final day of play. He shot a fourthround, 7-under-par 65 and birdied six of the final nine holes he played to claim his 18th major tournament championship. He scored a blistering Pat Rothdeutsch 30 on the back nine. covers sports for Nicklaus was also The Centre County 46 years old. With the Gazette. Email him win, he became the at sports@ oldest golfer to ever centrecounty win a major champigazette.com onship. Flash forward 28 years to the 2014 British Open and compare that moment to the way Tiger Woods finished his latest attempt on Sunday at winning his 15th major. Woods was long gone before eventual winner Rory McIlroy even made it to

the first tee. Woods shot a final-round 75 and finished at 294, 6 over par and 23 shots behind McIlroy. The whispers about Woods have been out there for a while, and they are getting louder and more incessant every week: His body is giving up on him. He’s had too many injuries. He’s lost the fire and competitiveness he once had. Everyone else had caught up to him. And on and on. In short, the chances of Woods getting 19 or even 18 major wins are getting slimmer and slimmer as the weeks go by. He is 38 years old now, coming off major back surgery, and hasn’t won a major tournament since the 2008 U.S. Open. In the two tournaments he has played since coming back from the March 31 surgery, he has one missed cut and a 69th place finish in the Open. Not exactly tearing it up. Yet, amid all the doom and gloom about Woods, there is something about him that urges caution before we write him off. He is, after all, one of those gifted athletes, like Wilt Chamberlain, or Mickey Mantle, or Jackie Robinson, who changed his sport. After he won his first Masters in 1997 — by 12 strokes — Augusta National and many other courses got out the bulldozers and began “Tiger proofing” their layouts. Holes were lengthened, roughs thickened, fairways tightened and new bunkers and hazards were placed at strate-

gic distances from tees and greens. No one ever heard of a 500-yard par 4 until Woods came along. He not only changed the game, he changed the other players. Before Woods, golfers were amazing technicians but not really known as great athletes. Woods changed all that by combining both. He was an athlete and a golfer, and he spent as much time on condition and strength as he did on golf. Everyone else got the message. If they were to keep up, they would have to do the same. And they did. Take a look at today’s pros and it’s obvious that they are strenuously training themselves for their sport. The PGA even has mobile gyms and weight rooms it trucks around to the different tournaments. None of this mentions the effects Woods had on the popularity of the Tour, TV revenues and the amount of money in the purses. It was said that in the ‘60s and ‘70s, pro golfers should all have sent a portion of their winnings to Arnold Palmer. Ditto for Woods and today’s players. Right now, Woods is essentially beginning his year. It is not reasonable to judge a season after just two appearances, and it is going to take time for him to get his legs. Surgery like that had to change some of the dynamics in his body, and he’s going to

have to recognize them and play through them. As far as losing his drive and determination, he surprised and amazed his doctors by coming back and playing as soon as he did. Maybe he has too much motivation, rather than not enough. And there’s no question that conditioning will be one of his top priorities. Does he have time to catch Nicklaus? If we use 46 as the benchmark age, yes, he does. Between now and the eight years until Woods is 46, there will be 33 major tournaments. He needs four to tie. Yet he is stuck on 14 and has been since 2008; he needs to get No. 15 out of the way, sooner than later. There is one more major left this season, the PGA, and how well he does there will be a good indication of what is to come for Woods. No matter what happens with the majors’ record, Woods is very close to what is probably a more important record — total PGA Tour wins. Sam Snead is first with a staggering 82 professional tour victories and Woods is now second with 79. Four more trophies and Woods will be the alltime leader in total tournament wins. It looks from here like he certainly will get that record. If he continues to play without pain, it wouldn’t be wise to count him out for anything else, no matter how it looked last Sunday.

CNB Bank holds charity golf tourney CLEARFIELD — On June 26, CNB Bank hosted its third charity golf tournament and raised $22,250 to benefit local American Cancer Society programs. The money raised has been donated to the ACS to make the services of Hope Lodge and the wig program available to local families. CNB’s customers and vendors reached out with generous donations to assist with the endeavor. Gifts for participants and the Chinese auction, food, beverages, cart and tee sponsorships, cash donations, team sponsors and printing allowed CNB to exceed its expectations. Taking first place in the first flight was a team from Boenning and Scattergood and First Citizens Community Bank; in second place was Wise Eyes/Rowles Family Furniture. In first place for the second flight was the Double Eagles team, with second place going to the ParenteBeard team. Sue Johnson was the lucky winner of the weeklong stay in Pawley’s Island, S.C.

Fred Quinn won $400 in the 50/50 and donated it back. “Once again, I am overwhelmed by the support of our customers and vendors,” said Joe Bower, president and CEO of CNB Bank. “With the support of so many, it is exciting for me to hand over a check of this amount to such a special organization.” The American Cancer Society’s Hope Lodge understands that undergoing treatment for cancer can be both financially and emotionally overwhelming. Having to travel out of town for treatment can make it even harder. That is why Hope Lodge offers lodging at no cost for cancer patients being treated in the central Pennsylvania area. It provides a nurturing, home-like environment where guests can retreat to private rooms or connect with others. There are two Hope Lodges in Pennsylvania. The ACS wig program provides free wigs to patients suffering hair loss due to cancer treatment and who have insufficient insurance coverage. “We’re happy that the American Cancer Society is once again able to designate the money to programs in Clearfield County that will benefit families within our own community,” Bower said.

WAUSAU, Wis. — Evelyn Van Horn, of Bellefonte, teamed with her brother, Ethan Van Horn, to take two gold medals at the 2014 USA Canoe/Kayak Age Group National Championships at the Wausau Whitewater Course in Wausau, Wis. Evelyn’s gold was in the women’s kayak class for junior, or U18, paddlers. Her score was 125 seconds. Ethan scored a 111-second run in the U23 class and was the best in the kayak open class. Evelyn was the fastest female in the race. “This was the perfect venue for this type of event,” Ethan said. “It was perfect for both junior and even the cadet-age paddlers. The event was a challenge for the young paddlers, but not overwhelming.” “I liked the camaraderie that the organizers developed,” said Evelyn. “It was great to see paddlers from both the East — Washington, D.C., and Centre County — and the West — Colorado.” The Van Horns also topped their respective classes at the recent Wacko Slalom, also held in Wausau. Ethan won the men’s kayak class with a time of 103 seconds. Evelyn won the women’s kayak class in 115 seconds. Both scores were the fastest times of the day in their respective gender classes. Evelyn also competed in the canoe singles class for women, taking first in 153 seconds. Her time would have been second in the men’s singles canoe class. The Van Horns are members of the local Mach One Slalom Team which practices at the Sunnyside Paddling Park in Bellefont. Sunnyside is celebrating its 50th year of operation this year.

Five-star defensive end eyes PSU football By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State football landed two separate four-star commits last week and five-star defensive end Shane Simmons could add his talents to the mix down the road as he named Penn State in his top five.

Simmons, of Hyattsville, Md., is a 6-foot-4, 221-pound prospect who specializes at the defensive end and outside linebacker position. Simmons is a member of the 2016 recruiting class and has offers from a number of schools. According to 247Sports, Simmons is currently being recruited by defensive line coach Sean Spencer.

back and four-star talent Miles Sanders. The 5-foot-10, 195-pound Sanders is a native of Pittsburgh and held offers from plenty of regional rivals including Michigan, Nebraska, Pitt and Temple. He attends Woodland Hills High School, and is the No. 4 running back in the state for the Class of 2016, according to 247Sports.

Simmons announced his top five choices today on his Twitter account, emphasizing that the schools were listed in no particular order. Joining Penn State in Simmons’ top five were Ohio State, Alabama, Maryland and Florida State. If Simmons were to be the next prospect to join Penn State’s 2016 recruiting class, he would do so alongside running

PSU faculty member performs at rock fest By SAMANTHA SCHWARTZ Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — Kai A. Schafft, associate professor of education in the Department of Education Policy Studies, performed in June with indie rock band Marah Presents Mountain Minstrelsy at Azkena Rock Festival outside of Bilbao, Spain. The band played in front of more than 14,000 people at Azkena, one of the largest European rock music festivals, alongside legendary bands such as Scorpions, Blondie, Violent Femmes and Wolfmother. Mountain Minstrelsy’s show was hailed in the Spanish version of Rolling Stone magazine as one of the festival’s triumphs. The band followed Azkena with a second show in a small town in the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains, hosted in part by an anarchist artists’ collective, konventpuntzero. While Schafft has played music semiprofessionally for 15 years, the singer/guitarist/tenor guitarist/banjo player found his big break when a manager at Elk Creek Café and Aleworks in Millheim, Pa., introduced Schafft to Marah’s David Bielanko and Christine Smith about six years ago. It may seem odd that a college professor would pursue a side career in music, but Schafft, trained as a rural sociologist, says that everything he does has to do with rural and folk culture. He has been interested in the subject ever since he attended a small state school in Maryland, the surrounding rural town of which was transformed with the construction of a naval base. His observations of the change in traditional life sparked his strong sociological curiosity about rural and folk culture. “Folk culture is the connection of people to place, place to people and people to people, both intergenerationally and in the moment,” Schafft said. According to Schafft’s definition, Mountain Minstrelsy music project was created in true folk fashion. Band members David Bielanko and Christine Smith

were inspired by the folklorist and “song catcher” Henry Shoemaker’s book “Mountain Minstrelsy of Pennsylvania,” a collection of song lyrics gathered in the mountains of Pennsylvania more than a century ago. The band formed with old and new members, including 10-year-old fiddle player Gus Tritsch, to write new music and resurrect the old lyrics. The album itself was recorded live into a single microphone in an old local church in Millheim that the band had converted into an analog studio. Schafft said the transformation of the church could have been profoundly alienating for the eclectic band since local churches used to be the key community institutions in rural Pennsylvania towns like Millheim. Many congregations lost their following over the decades, and local churches were subsequently closed and replaced by “mega churches,” which have now phased out most small churches. “We have a profound respect and cognition of what we’re doing with this (music project) and how we are involved in some way with this space and the local people,” said Schafft. It became clear to the band that bringing in elements from the community was the best way to make the album. Mountain Minstrelsy renewed the old church as a community center by leaving the church doors open during recording sessions, allowing neighbors, fans, and additional talent to enter and even participate in recording sessions. “We got these little tap dancers, a tuba player, a chorus,” Schafft said. “There was no real recruiting involved.” The band recorded and produced the album for about a year before releasing their vinyl album Feb. 25. The band used no digital interface. When asked about the performance, Schafft said, “I’ve played in front of a lot of people before, but never in front of so many (people),” he said. “I’ve never played internationally. I’ve never had a rider,” referencing a document outlining the artist’s

WPSU’s ‘Water Blues’ documentary receives award UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State Public Media filmmakers recently joined the likes of Steven Spielberg, Jim Henson and Martin Scorsese as winners of the CINE Golden Eagle Award. WPSU’s documentary “Water Blues, Green Solutions” was lauded in the spring 2014 competition in the Televised News Division – Informational/Current Issue category. “Water Blues, Green Solutions” is an interactive film project telling the stories of communities creating green solutions for our water blues — flooding, pollution and scarcity. It premiered on WPSU-TV in February and has been shown nationwide through broadcasts and screenings on public television stations, at universities and in communities. “The team at Penn State Public Media and I are thrilled that our work has earned a CINE Golden Eagle award,” said Frank Christopher, the film’s director, writer and co-producer. “The prestigious Golden Eagle award is recognition of the passion and craft with which we created ‘Water Blues, Green Solutions’ and will certainly encourage our efforts in the future.” Cheraine Stanford is co-producer of “Water Blues,” with Mark Stitzer serving as the documentary’s director of photography and Cole Cullen as editor. For more than 50 years, the CINE Gold-

Musical theater major gains diverse experience in summer productions UNIVERSITY PARK — Going from a New York City ghetto to an Ivy League law school to a quirky florist shop, it’s obvious Brinie Wallace gets around. And pumps up her résumé in the process. The incoming junior in the Bachelor of Fine Arts musical theatre program has gained extensive professional experience this summer, participating in a reading for a Broadway revival and performing in two musical productions at regional theaters. The whirlwind process of snagging a role in the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera’s production of “Legally Blonde” even led her to get her Equity card. “I realized that if I could book a job at the prestigious PCLO, then it was time to grow up, make one of the hardest decisions of my career so far and join the union. It was time to take responsibility and pay my dues as a working professional.” Wallace started off her summer with a reading of “The Me Nobody Knows,” a 1970s rock musical featuring stories told through song about poor children in New York City. A casting agent in the audience asked the young women in the cast if they wanted to audition for the PCLO, and Wallace ended up with an appointment the next day. Wallace played the role of Serena in “Legally Blonde,” the musical based on the popular 2001 movie starring Reese Witherspoon. “My experience at PCLO was definitely an educational experience that I will take forward into my future career,” she said. “I really learned the ins and outs of my voice and how to maintain longevity.” Wallace is currently performing the role of Chiffon in “Little Shop of Horrors” at the Hangar Theatre in Ithaca, N.Y. “I’ve never done this show, and I’m excited to be doing it with this amazing cast of people. Jen Waldman, artistic director at the Hangar, is directing it, and it’s an amazing new direction of the timeless musical classic.” At Penn State, Wallace performed in the spring 2014 production of “Funk It Up About Nothin’,” a rap rendition of Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing.”

BRINIE WALLACE, a Penn State musical theater major, has performed in professional shows this summer. “My favorite role of my journey so far has to be playing ‘MC Lady B.’ I had never rapped a single day in my life, but as soon as opening night commenced in the State College night club Levels, I knew that was a thing of the past. I rapped, I danced, I represented Shakespeare, and it was one of those shows that I could’ve kept doing for years. That is hands-down my favorite memory at Penn State so far.” Wallace said she is honored to be able to make memories as a Penn State student. “I chose Penn State because they represent quality over quantity. … We produce some of the most talented, warm, human artists out there. I love the fact that we have a conservatory program within a university setting,” she said. “Penn State is one of those programs that caters to students. Without the grants and generous alumni involved in my application process and acceptance into this program, I wouldn’t be where I am now. This program and the faculty and staff have supported me since day one.”

Bitcoin is not technically a currency, though it functions

JOHN JORDAN

like one, says Jordan. That’s not just his opinion; it’s also the conclusion of the IRS, which has decided to legally regard Bitcoin as property rather than

currency. Jordan compares Bitcoin to poker chips: “Poker chips can be used as a stand-in for money in certain situations, such as in a casino, and they can also be exchanged for money, but they aren’t money; their value is dependent on the casino system itself.” Bitcoin users are represented anonymously on the peer-topeer network, and each user has a digital “wallet” that holds the bitcoins. (The accepted practice is to capitalize the word when referring to the concept and community, and to use lowercase when referring to the system’s tradable units.) When Bitcoin transactions between digital wallets occur, those transactions must be verified by other Bitcoin users and added to the shared, public ledger. “Transactions are verified through the process of cryptography,” explains Jordan, “essentially, very difficult mathematical algorithms solvable only with powerful computing systems. That’s what keeps the system secure and the ledger complete.” This process of verifying transactions and adding them to the network ledger is called “mining,” and the activity of mining is also what creates more bitcoin. “Essentially, I can create more bitcoin by doing the work of the Bitcoin community — process-

ing transactions,” Jordan says. The combined computing power of these peer-to-peer transactions is not just fast, Jordan adds — it is a great deal faster than the world’s fastest supercomputer. If you find any of this difficult to follow, you’re not alone; its inherent complexity and technical jargon have given rise to countless “Bitcoin for dummies” articles, television drama plots and even stand-up comedy skits. Some university campuses, including Penn State, now even offer active Bitcoin clubs. But let’s get down to dollars and cents: what about Bitcoin’s exchange rate? Says Jordan, “As computers gain more power and the math algorithms are solved more quickly, the system adjusts by making problems more difficult to solve — to control how much Bitcoin is created. Consequently, Bitcoin’s exchange rate with the dollar fluctuates and can be tracked in real time online.” All bitcoins in existence were originally created through mining, but today, users without the computational power to mine can purchase bitcoins on online exchanges and even at some special ATMs. One of the primary advantages of Bitcoin, Jordan adds, is its lack of oversight by a government of financial organization. Unlike traditional payment methods such as credit cards or money orders, transaction fees on the Bitcoin network are often nonexistent — or, at least, much lower. “In concept, this is great news for small business owners,” says Jordan. “In a low-margin business, those 3 percent charges on credit card transactions can really add up.” And Bitcoin can provide a huge advantage for foreign workers sending money home to families still in their home countries.

BITCOIN WAS introduced in 2008 and is a digital payment network that allows users to engage in direct transactions without the oversight of a banking organization or government. “In this way, it’s really an artifact of globalization,” says Jordan. “Billions of dollars in remittances are transferred every year, and when doing it by Bitcoin, no money is lost to fees and service charges.” Beyond the potential savings in transfer fees, many people see an ideological advantage to the anonymity of the Bitcoin system and its existence outside of governmental oversight. “A lot of people think the government really doesn’t need to know what we’re doing,” says Jordan. Unfortunately, the anonymity of crypto-currencies perfectly serves the needs of the so-called ‘dark net,’ the online trade in drugs and other illegal goods. In 2013, FBI agents busted Silk Road, the Web’s biggest black market in drugs, and seized more than $28 million worth in bitcoins. “Since it’s a user’s private key that performs a transaction, and the person behind the key is invisible, Bitcoin is an attractive choice for illicit transactions,” notes Jordan. Regardless of its advantages for less nefari-

ous business activities, Jordan is skeptical that Bitcoin will grow enough in popularity to gain widespread acceptance. “Bitcoin is a really clever system, and it’s useful in many ways,” he says, “but it’s still too volatile and it’s impossible to imagine it existing outside of a computational environment.” That’s one of its potential downfalls. “It’s good at what it does, but it’s early and the system was not designed to scale,” Jordan says. “Interestingly, economists speculate that, although Bitcoin may ultimately fail as money, it could succeed as something else — like a method for documenting chain of custody. For the time being, Bitcoin remains viable only in selected scenarios. While it may ultimately decline in popularity or disappear completely, other cryptography-based systems will evolve to capitalize on the opportunity.” As Benjamin Franklin saw it, “Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.”

Study evaluates workplace security vs. privacy By MATT SWAYNE Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — People with higher job status may be more willing to compromise privacy for security reasons and also be more determined to carry out those decisions, according to researchers. This preoccupation with security may shape policy and decision making in areas ranging from terrorism to investing, and perhaps cloud other options, said Jens Grossklags, assistant professor of information sciences and technology at Penn State. “What may get lost in the decisionmaking process is that one can enhance security without the negative impact on privacy,” said Grossklags. “It’s more of a balance, not a tradeoff, to establish good practices and sensible rules on security without negatively impacting privacy.” In two separate experiments, the researchers examined how people with high-status job assignments evaluated

security and privacy and how impulsive or patient they were in making decisions. The researchers found that participants who were randomly placed in charge of a project tended to become more concerned with security issues. In a follow-up experiment, people appointed as supervisors also showed a more patient, longterm approach to decision making, added Grossklags, who worked with Nigel J. Barradale, assistant professor of finance, Copenhagen Business School. The findings may explain why people who are in leadership roles tend to be more decisive about guarding security, often at the expense of privacy, according to the researchers. In the real world, high-status decision makers would include politicians and leaders of companies and groups. “Social status shapes how privacy and security issues are settled in the real world,” said Grossklags. “Hopefully, by calling attention to these tendencies, decision makers can rebalance their priorities on security and privacy.”

Bargo appointed to board of directors STATE COLLEGE — Rob Bargo, vice president of manufacturing operations at Videon Central Inc., has recently been appointed to the board of directors for the Central Pennsylvania Innovative Manufacturers’ Center. The IMC provides manufacturers in 12 counties with access to various regional, state and national resources necessary for

growth and innovation. In the last 25 years, more than 500 Pennsylvania companies have increased their efficiency and profitability with the help of IMC. As a board member, Bargo will work with other members to set the overall strategy for the organization, advise staff on plans to achieve that strategy, and monitor its progress toward achieving its goals.

The researchers, who presented their findings at the Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium in Amsterdam, used two groups of volunteers in the studies. In the first experiment, they randomly assigned 146 participants roles as either a supervisor or a worker to determine how those assignments changed the way leaders approached security or privacy during a task. People who were appointed supervisors showed a significant increase in their concern for security. The researchers also found that participants who were assigned a worker-level status expressed higher concern for privacy, but not significantly higher. Another experiment, made up of 120 participants, examined whether patience was correlated with high-status assignments. The researchers asked the partici-

pants how long they would delay accepting a prize from a bank if the size of that prize would increase over time. For example, the participants were asked how much money they would need to receive immediately to make them indifferent to receiving $80 in two months. As in the previous experiment, the researchers divided the group into high-status supervisors and low-status workers. The low-status workers were more impulsive — they were willing to sacrifice 35 percent more to receive the prize money now rather than later. The supervisors, on the other hand, were more willing to wait, a sign that they would be more patient in making decisions with long-term consequences such as privacy and security. The Experimental Social Science Laboratory at the University of California at Berkeley supported this work.
