Community weighs in on trustee bills Penn State Reform Package proposes greater degree of transparency
By MARJORIE S. MILLER
mmiller@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — Joined by State Rep. Scott Conklin on July 17, members of the Penn State Board of Trustees welcomed both heated and heartfelt testimonies from the public at an open forum in which a package of bills concerning the board’s governance was revealed. The four bills, introduced by Conklin, propose amendments to various aspects of the board’s administration, such as the size of the board and who should or shouldn’t be voting members. Referred to as the Penn State Reform Package, the legislation was developed with the help of a report by Auditor General Jack Wagner, who was in attendance at the meeting. Held at the State College Municipal Building on South Allen Street, community members took a few minutes each to voice their concerns and suggestions regarding
such issues as term limits, voting anonymity, emeritus status, meeting minutes’ availability and transparency, board selection and the state’s involvement with the university. Board of trustees present at the meeting included board REP. SCOTT chairman Keith MassCONKLIN er, vice chairman Paul Silvis, Abe Harpster, Ted Brown and Anthony Lubrano. Also in attendance were Philip Falvo, research project manager for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, and DJ Tor Michaels, who facilitated the meeting. Masser, who began the meeting, said one year ago the Freeh Report came out, in which various changes were recommend-
ed to protect the university. “The passing of this (anniversary) should not go unnoticed,” he said. On the heels of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal, the report by former FBI director Louis Freeh presents 119 recommendations following an eight-month investigation. “People will continue to debate the conclusions (of the report),” he said. Masser said the Freeh Report focuses on improving the governance system of the university. As a result, the board has expanded its committee oversight and has opened up public comments at meetings. He said he believes the “vast majority” of Penn State University wants to move forward in a positive way. “We all share a willingness to take the hard but necessary road” to improve, Masser said. Silvis, who took a few minutes to speak next, said he comes to the meeting with an

open mind. “I’m here to listen and take your suggestions back to the board,” he said. Harpster echoed Silvis’ comments: “I’m here to learn and listen so I can make good decisions.” Brown, who spoke next, said: “As a philosophy, I prefer the state government not be involved” in what’s going on at Penn State, referring to Conklin’s bills. However, he said, he would be “happy” if Harrisburg provided more financial support to Penn State. All other state schools receive more money per student than Penn State, he said. Brown also said he believes the three secretaries on the board should not be voting members. Next, Lubrano gave a statement, first saying he apologizes to the “entire Penn State University community” for failing Trustees, Page 4

STATE COLLEGE — The new high school project, if completed, will remain at Westerly Parkway. That’s the decision the State College Area Board of School Directors reached Monday, during three separate votes to reject four of the six original options for the school. The two remaining options both would keep the high school at its current location, and both would continue developing facilities on both the north and south side of the street. Concept B is a plan to renovate and add to both the North and South buildings, with a walkway over Westerly Parkway that would connect the two buildings. Students would have classes in both buildings. Concept D would include renovations and additions to the South Building, which would be the primary location for all core classes. Portions of the North Building, like the gymnasiums and natatorium, would still be used by students as well. Both options had majority support in a community survey the district conducted in May, with Concept B receiving 70 percent support and D receiving 61 percent. A third option to construct two new buildings at an alternate location, called Concept E, received 51 percent support in the survey, but was rejected by the board. Board member Amber Concepcion said that Concept E was too polarizing to continue pursuing. Forty-three percent of survey respondents also opposed the concept, compared to only 25 and 28 percent opposition for Concepts B and D, respectively. Board member Dorothea Stahl said that Concept E was among the most expensive options, and that it would “add a lot of barriers to the project” because it would require the school district to acquire more property for the new schools. “As a taxpayer, I can’t buy two new schools,” Stahl said. The meeting marks a turning point in the board’s process. The first four options were rejected due to lack of community support, but the decision between the final two options will require more input. One priority is to enhance student safety and security, said

The young singer, a soon-to-be fifth-grader at Marion-Walker Elementary School, performed the national anthem for the fifth time at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park on Saturday night. But it wasn’t singing the anthem that made the game memorable. Following her flawless performance, Frey and her family took their seats along the first base line. That’s when things got interesting. In the second inning, the Spikes’ David Washington was in the batter’s box. On a routine swing and a miss, Washington’s bat slipped out of his hands and landed in the crowd.

RATE HIKE: Centre Area Transportation Authority hosted its biannual meeting Tuesday, in which an increase in senior citizen fare rates was announced.
CATA announces fare increase Senior citizens will ride for $3 By MARJORIE S. MILLER
mmiller@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — At its biannual public meeting Tuesday, CATARIDE announced its senior fare rate will increase to $3 effective Aug. 1, an announcement that evoked concern from some in attendance. Up from $2.50, the increase is part of a two-step process with the state in which the rate rose 50 cents last year and 50 cents this year, said CATARIDE Director of Operations Sherry Snyder. “Folks were aware that it was coming a year ahead,” Snyder said. Some participants at the July 23 meeting thought the increase has been too rapid, while others were worried about future bumps in fare, explaining that many of CATA’s riders are seniors.

Snyder said as of now, CATA has “every intention” of keeping rates where they are, and there is no immediate need for fare increase, at least within the next year. Fare rates are based on the cost to operate the system, Snyder said, and while she “empathizes and sympathizes, a lot of it is determined by what’s going on in the market,” such as fuel prices. Senior citizens can ride the fixed route for free, Snyder said. Some in the meeting proposed extending or adding options the fixed route, to which Snyder responded more ridership would be needed to further develop the service. Another rate increase, also announced Tuesday, includes the general public fare, which will rise from CATA, Page 6 Arts & Entertainment .23, 24 What’s Happening ..... 25, 26

NCAA seeks dismissal of Paterno family lawsuit By GENARO C. ARMAS AP Sports Writer
STATE COLLEGE — The NCAA is asking a Pennsylvania court to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the family of the late coach Joe Paterno that seeks to overturn the sanctions against Penn State for the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. Some trustees, former players and coaches and current faculty members are also taking part in the same lawsuit. But college sports’ governing body said the civil suit must be dismissed in part because the university itself isn’t part of the suit. The sanctions handed down in July 2012 were agreed to by the NCAA and the university president. The NCAA also firmly denied a claim that it had conspired with former FBI director Louis Freeh’s team in formulating the sanctions. Freeh led the school’s internal investigation into the scandal. The news came on the same day that Penn State issued a statement on bowl revenue. The school’s nearly $2.3 million share of bowl revenue has been divided among the Big Ten’s 12 member schools, including Penn State, to distribute for causes focused on child protection or advocacy. The school said the individual share for each school amounted to more than $188,000. The Nittany Lions finished the 2012 season bowl-eligible at 8-4, but were banned from the postseason as part of NCAA sanctions for the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. The $2.3 million represents Penn State’s share of conference bowl revenue had the school been allowed to play in the postseason.
The four-year bowl ban expires after the 2015 season. The sanctions were announced a year ago Tuesday, on July 23, 2012. But the landmark penalties, and the NCAA’s handling of the Penn State case, remain the subject of scrutiny among some alumni, area residents and Pennsylvania politicians, as well as in the courts. In May, a lawsuit filed by the family of the late coach Joe Paterno, five school trustees and others sought to have the penalties overturned. In a statement separate from the school’s announcement on bowl revenue, three trustees who took seats earlier this month offered support for five board colleagues involved in the litigation. The suit says that the NCAA bypassed the organization’s own rules in levying penalties against the football program with uncharacteristic speed. “As newly elected trustees ... we want to make clear that we fully support the legal claims filed against the NCAA by our trustee colleagues,” said a statement from trustees Ted Brown, Barbara Doran and William Oldsey. “We support a legal review of the sanctions imposed on Penn State, the basis for the sanctions and the process used to enact them.” The alumni-elected trustees elected this spring were endorsed by an alumni watchdog group that has been critical of the decisions of board leaders after the scandal began with Sandusky’s arrest in November 2011, including Paterno’s firing. The lawsuit also attacks former FBI director Louis Freeh’s handling of the internal investigation into the scandal for the school, along with how and why the NCAA used Freeh’s report

Nine ex-players; four faculty members; and two former assistant coaches, including Paterno’s son Jay Paterno, are also plaintiffs in the lawsuit. The sanctions

also include steep scholarship cuts and a $60 million fine, which is separate from the Big Ten bowl proceeds.

Big Ten splits share of revenue from PSU bowl appearance By LAURA NICHOLS StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State and 11 other Big Ten schools each have been given a portion of what would have been Penn State’s football bowl revenue from the 2012-13 season to donate to “childfocused” causes of their choosing. Penn State chose the Centre County United Way as its beneficiary. The money will be split — $94,172 each — between the Stewards of Children program and the Children’s Advocacy Center. Officials in the Big Ten are giving $188,344 to each university to donate to a local organization of their choice, so long as that charity’s primary focus is on protecting children and advocacy on behalf of children. The money for each school represents one-twelfth of the revenue Penn State would have earned during the 2013 bowl season. That’s a total of nearly $2.3 million, had the Nittany Lions been allowed to play in a bowl game, according to Penn State. Bill O’Brien led his team to an 8-4 season in 2012-13. Penn State was banned from postseason play for four years when it entered into a consent decree with the NCAA and The Big Ten in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. Penn State was penalized on July 23, 2012. Other sanctions include a $60 million fine, which will to toward victims of sexual abuse, a significant loss in football scholarships and all wins vacated under former football coach Joe Paterno between 1998-2011. Stewards of Children is an awareness program that teaches adults how to prevent, recognize and report child sexual abuse and is designed for organizations that serve children and for individuals who are focused on youth safety. It is the only nationally distributed, evidence-based program proven to increase knowledge, improve attitudes and change child protective behaviors, according to
Penn State. “This is a transformational gift that will assure Stewards of Children continues in Centre County and that we meet and exceed our goal of training five percent of all residents,” said Tammy Gentzel, executive director of the Centre County United Way. “Increasing awareness among adults in our community will help to ensure that all children in the county live in a safe environment.” The Centre County United Way, Centre County Women’s Resource Center, Centre County Youth Service Bureau and YMCA of Centre County have partnered to bring the program to county residents, with a goal of training 5,000 adults. It’s an effort to ensure that every child in the county has contact with an adult who is trained to create and maintain a safe environment for children. The Children’s Advocacy Center, an idea that came from Centre County District Judge Bradley P. Lunsford, among others, will provide a centralized location for all of the necessary services for children who have been abused, including medical services, and will be operated by Mount Nittany Health in offices, which are located in Bellefonte. The current process requires multiple interviews of the child with different people at different locations. It also requires the child to travel to receive specialized medical care and exams. “These funds will further our efforts to protect our children and to minimize the trauma that children experience when they are victimized,” Lunsford said. “I am grateful to President Erickson and the Penn State community for recognizing the importance of our endeavors and validating our cause.” “As a community, we must continue to look deeper into the issue of child maltreatment and abuse,” said Penn State President Rodney Erickson. “We must commit to continuing to raise awareness, as well as fight these insidious crimes in whatever way possible.”

Trustees, from page 1 “your honor” when it needed support the most. He said it’s important for the board to get out in the community “as often as we can to interact.” “I do believe that we have much more work to do,” he said. Conklin, who agreed with Brown regarding the state’s lack of financial support to the university, said “the state should be embarrassed” about its cuts to Penn State. Penn State, he said, is a “shining star,” and its community believes in coming together to look at decisions to move forward. The first community member to comment was Ben Novak, who said he read Wagner’s recommendations and the Freeh Report, and both are directed at increased oversight. His idea is a different approach, he said, explaining that he’s not sure if 32 or 22 people from the outside will be better at running the university than the people inside it. He proposes a more central approach, he said, instead of just globalizing efficiency. Sandy Deveney, who took to the podium next, said the Right-To-Know Law, which is addressed in one of the bills, is “extremely applicable.” The law, which went into effect in 2009, provides access to public information. Referring to board of trustees members saying they are concerned with what the public has to say, Deveney said restricted comments at board meetings leads one to conclude the “board is not always interested in alumni opinion.” He also said some emails to the board of trustees have bounced back to him, additionally leading one to conclude the board is not always interested. Masser responded first to Deveney, saying the board has opened committee meetings up to the public. “I would encourage everyone to take advantage of that,” he said. Lubrano said “the public comment period is near and dear to my heart,” explaining its implementation in July 2012. He said he understands people would like to have some interaction at board of trustees meetings, which can run long for long periods of time, so “we have to figure out how to find that balance” to show the board is listening. “We are listening to you,” he said. Next, Thomas Kupchinsky presented the following suggestions to the board, among others: do away with anonymous votes; make all meeting minutes available to the public within three business days; only members in attendance at a meeting may vote; the executive committee should be “disbanded immediately”; the university president, as an employee of the university, should not hold board of trustee membership; and term limits should be set to 12 years. He also said the size of the board is “bloated” and proposes it be made up of three representatives of the governor,

three representatives from the business and industry sector, three agriculture representatives, and nine Penn State alumni. Lubrano responded by saying he is a proponent of eliminating the governor on the board. And while he agrees the board may benefit if it’s smaller, he said “I think we need a truly engaged board” no matter the size. Answering a public comment that came later in the meeting about trustees becoming university employees, Wagner said there is a chapter in his program that outlines insider movement. He said five years must elapse both ways: before a board of trustee can become a university employee, and before a university employee can become a trustee. However, Wagner added, emergency cases may be handled differently. And he does agree that there has been “extensive movement in recent years” which may have hindered transparency and accountability. Clarifying, he said there have been five documented cases of insider movement. Ben Bronstein, who said he agrees with almost every suggestion on board transparency, said he wonders if “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.” His comments refer to the state government calling upon Penn State to do “what they don’t do” regarding term limits and holding secret meetings, he said. “I’d like to see our Legislature do the same thing” they’re asking us to do, Bronstein said. About a dozen more public testimonies were made, many in agreement about term limits and reducing the size of the board, which are proposed in bill 299. Other suggestions included improving the trustee selection process, having an independent advisory board choose some of the trustee candidates, recording votes, and making names of board applicants available to the public. In closing, Wagner said the main goals in moving forward are to eliminate silence and put transparency and accountability at the forefront. “That’s what this is all about,” Wagner said. “Changing the structure so this university can get back to where it was before.” The three other House bills included in the proposed Penn State Reform Package are 310, 311 and 312.

Singer, from page 1 a railing first. The ricochet struck Frey in the shoulder and forehead. “It was scary,” said Meredith’s mother, Hope Frey. “I was at the concession stand and my husband called me and said that she’d been hit by a bat. At first, I didn’t think I heard him right. Then he said it again and it started to sink in. I was really shocked, obviously.” A Spikes’ usher and an EMT immediate went to Meredith’s seat to check on her. She was taken from the stands, evaluated and given some ice cream. “The bat hit her in the face, so we had a doctor from Penn State check her out and make sure she was OK,” Hope said. “They checked all of her extremities but the thing they really worry about is a concussion.” She was given an ice pack for her forehead and sat in a wheelchair behind home plate before returning to her seat in the fourth inning. “I wanted to leave, but we had our whole family there to watch Meredith sing, so we stayed. Meredith really wanted to stay for the whole game,” Hope explained. The Spikes trailed in the bottom of the ninth when Washington won the game with the first walk-off grand slam in Spikes history. After the game, Spikes officials escorted Frey and her family to the field so she could meet Washington. Washington was apologetic. “He said, ‘I’m so sorry about what happened.’ Then he asked if I was OK,” Meredith said. With the bat that had struck her firmly in her hands, Washington went offered her something even more special — the game-winning home run ball, which had been retrieved by Spikes’ officials. “It’s embarrassing just to lose your bat anyway, and then you see it go in the stands,” he said. “I swung hard and it was going fast. I’m just glad nobody got seriously hurt.” Hope Frey was glad to see her daughter smiling as fireworks exploded in the night sky. “Meredith really wanted to meet him. She had some dizziness, but she really hung in there. It was important to her,” Hope said. Meredith posed for pictures with Washington on the field. He also signed the bat. Meredith said she’s already looking forward to singing the National Anthem at another Spikes game. And she’ll take a seat along one of the baselines to watch the ballgame after she performs. Is she afraid of getting hit by another flying bat? “No,” she said. “Because I know this rarely happens.”

NCAA PRESIDENT Mark Emmert hit Penn State with some of the toughest sanctions in the history of collegiate athletics.
Penn State’s sanctions: 365 days later By LAURA NICHOLS StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Students huddled in front of the big television in the HUB, a small sampling of the Penn State faithful waiting, across the country, to find out what the Penn State football program’s fate would be. On July 23, 2012, NCAA President Mark Emmert announced what he called “unprecedented sanctions” against Penn State in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. When Penn State President Rodney Erickson signed the consent decree with the NCAA and the Big Ten, Penn State was walloped with a $60 million fine, a four-year football postseason ban, a significant reduction in football scholarships and all wins vacated between 1998-2011 under former football coach Joe Paterno. There was an outcry. Tears were shed, statements released and the Paterno statue that once stood outside Beaver Stadium was taken down and put into storage. But Penn State had to forge ahead. Bill O’Brien, only six months into his head coaching position at the university, led his team to an 8-4 season, despite players transferring and coaches from other teams trying to recruit players in the parking lot as they left practice. Former FBI Director Louis Freeh was hired to conduct an internal investigation to determine whether there had been any wrongdoing by university administrators. In July 2012, just 11 days before the sanctions were imposed, Freeh released his findings in a scathing 263-page report. After saying former top university administrators essentially turned a blind eye to Sandusky’s abuse, Freeh made 119 recommendations for Penn State to carry out. Penn State hired Sen. George Mitchell to oversee university efforts to comply with Freeh’s recommendations. Mitchell will release his fourth quarterly report in August. His last report was released in May and so far, the former senator has complimented Penn State’s progress and its compliance with the Freeh recommendations. “There still is more to be done, but we are pleased that our efforts are being praised by Sen. George Mitchell and by other external entities that have an interest in our progress,” says Penn State President Rodney Erickson. Penn State made two hires that filled new roles at the university: Gabriel Gates, who serves as Clery Compliance coordinator and Julie Del Giorno, who is the new Athletics Integrity Officer. Gates and Del Giorno were introduced to the Penn State Board of Trustees in March, when they each officially began their roles.
Recently, Penn State received an initial report from Clery Act investigators with the U.S. Department of Education, but did not release any information because of privacy restrictions. The Clery Act requires universities to release on-campus crime statistics to the public. The road ahead may be long, but Penn State has time and again acknowledged its commitment to becoming a nationwide leader in the awareness and prevention of sexual abuse. “Penn State has worked diligently on significant reforms that have been implemented over the past year, and reflects Penn State’s steadfast and ongoing commitment to integrity and ethical conduct. Our board of trustees has restructured its governance to be more open and efficient, and we are working to set the bar for our operations in human resources, security, athletics and compliance,” Erickson says. As a whole, the board has not decided yet to approach the NCAA with a request to lessen or reverse the sanctions, but says it may, when the time is right. In July, the board voted to approve settlements to Sandusky’s victims, at a reported $60 million total. After the board meetimg in July, chairman Keith Masser said the board “has more work to do” before it brings anything to the NCAA. That includes waiting for Mitchell’s final quarterly report and making sure the last two of the 119 Freeh recommendations are successfully implemented. Some board members are already part of a lawsuit, however. In February, the Paterno family, along with 20 other plaintiffs including former football players and coaches, Penn State faculty, students and trustees sued the NCAA. They want a judge to void the consent decree, which would break Penn State’s commitment to its penalties. For now, the university is still abiding by the consent decree.

CATA, from page 1 $16.65 to $20, said Dina Ruggiero, paratransit coordinator at CATA. The disabled citizens’ fare rate, however, will remain the same at $3, she said. Senior fares were last raised in July of 2012, Ruggiero said, but before that it had been “several years.� Also at the meeting, Andy Burke, general manager at Ride Right LLC in State College, provided information on cancellations and no-shows, and tips on scheduling. Burke said rides need to be scheduled 14 days in advance, and no same-day reservations are accepted. Those who wish to cancel rides must provide at least 45 minutes advance notice, and riders should be aware of a 15-minute window for bus pickup, he said. According to its website, Ride Right provides paratransit, fixed route, shuttle and ADA services to the communities it serves. Other topics discussed at the meeting, which was held at CATA’s office on West Whitehall Road in State College, included policies on CATARIDE’s service animal transport and its respirator/portable oxygen/life support equipment, as well as the new Personal Care Attendant identification card, which CATA riders who travel with a PCA are required to carry.

School board, from page 1
Board members will fill out the matrices by judging the importance of criteria in six categories: safety and security; educational model; site and location; cost; its ability to be constructed; and sustainability. The board will use this process, along with input from the community and developers, to reach their final decision on which concept to choose. Community forums will be held on Aug. 13 and Sept. 11 in the State High auditorium. Each forum will be preceded by a guided tour of the school. The project will go to referendum in about 300 days, during the May 20 primary election. Through the referendum, voters will give the project — and its final price tag — the green light.
Penni Fishbaine, the board president. It’s also only the latest in a number of attempts to renovate the high school, all of which have been unsuccessful so far. “We’ve been at this for 12 years, trying to get a new high school,� said board member Jim Pawelcyzk. “Something like 6,000 kids have had to put up with substandard facilities.� The board plans to decide on their final option at its meeting Sept. 9. In the meantime, each board member will be filling out an “evaluation matrix� — a complex set of tables that will result in a score for both school options.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Parade organizers thank contributors A big thank you to all of those whose donations — big and small, monetary and otherwise — helped make the Logan Fire Co. Fourth of July parade a reality. Thanks to your generosity, over $4,100 was raised — more than enough to underwrite this year’s event. All remaining monies have been earmarked for future parades. Hats off to Logan Fire Co. president Chuck Salvanish and the many fire company volunteers who put together a spectacular parade in record time. I hope they were as heartened as we were by the community’s response. We look forward to next year’s parade. Bonnie and Denny Leathers Bellefonte

Do terrorists deserve star treatment? Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev appeared this week on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, looking for all the world like one of the pop stars the magazine usually covers. Outrage greeted the cover choice, with some stores saying they wouldn’t carry the issue in their establishments. Rolling Stone’s editors stuck to their guns, responding; “The fact that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is young, and in the same age group as many of our readers, makes it all the more important for us to examine the complexities of this issue.” Does it glorify terrorism to put Tsarnaev on Rolling Stone’s cover? Or is it a legitimate act of journalism? Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk debate the matter.
JOEL MATHIS
Rolling Stone has nothing to apologize for. It’s been the case ever since 9/11 that some of the most hawkish among us have conflated “understanding” terrorism with “glorifying” or “sympathizing” with attackers. Questions like, “Why do they hate us?” were dismissed as irrelevant in the face of tragedy, a response that’s Joel Mathis, joelmmathis@ both correct and gmail.com, is a incorrect: Nothwriter in ing could jusPhiladelphia. tify the deaths of thousands of civilians in New York and Washington, just like nothing can justify — or romanticize — the death and injury that accompanied the Boston Marathon. But journalism doesn’t seek to justify a phenomenon. It seeks to explain it. And anybody who cares to venture
JOEL MATHIS
beyond Rolling Stone’s cover will find journalism — and, to the extent possible, explanation — within. Janet Reitman, author of the cover story, is a respected journalist who has covered stories about Iraq and Scientology in recent years. In this case she delved deep into the past of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, digging up records and interviewing the people who had called themselves his friends. It’s a piece many people will find unsatisfactory, because it doesn’t produce a smoking gun to explain Tsarnaev’s turn to radicalism. Instead, there are many small clues, none seemingly weighty enough in its own right to cause a man to commit terror. Having commissioned the piece and having found it worthy to publish, should Rolling Stone have kept Tsarnaev off the cover? That can be argued, perhaps. Certainly, a magazine accustomed to creating the hagiography of rock stars might want to tread carefully when putting an alleged terrorist on its cover. The people who would glorify Tsarnaev because of the cover, though, are small-minded children who probably would’ve glorified him anyway. The rest of us — the vast, vast majority of us — will continue to recognize Tsarnaev for what he truly is, a monster. That’s precisely how Rolling Stone labels him on the cover. The magazine has done its journalistic duty.
BEN BOYCHUK
Rolling Stone may not have anything to apologize for — other than accelerating the general decline of American culture, that is. But at the very least, the magazine’s editors showed terrible judgment placing one of the alleged Boston bombers on the cover of the August issue. Had any other publication used the self-portrait of the surviving brother implicated in the murders of three Boston Marathon spectators and a campus police officer, few would have complained. But a magazine known mostly for featuring the
latest pop music flavor-of-the-month doesn’t have quite the gravitas of The New York Times. Most Americans of a certain age understand what the cover of Rolling Stone represents. Whatever the merits of Janet Reitman’s article, the fact remains that the baby-faced bomber — who apparently already has a sizable following of nihilistic young women — joins cult icons such as Kurt Cobain and Jim Morrison in the pop-culture pantheon of wasted youth. Yes, to Rolling Stone’s credit, at least they refer to the younger brother bombing suspect as a “monster.” But the magazine also touts how the accused terrorist “failed his family” and “fell into Islam,” as if by happenstance. Are we supposed to believe he’s some poor kid who was in the wrong place at the wrong time? A victim of forces beyond his control? That description would be far more fitting for the 170 or so people injured in April’s explosions. In a just society, the Boston Marathon bombers’ names and faces would be simply blotted out from history. In a just society, the names and faces we would know are Krystle Campbell, Martin Richard, Lingzi Lu and Sean Ben Boychuk, Collier — the bboychuk@cityfour people who journal.org, is died in service associate editor of of a monstrous City Journal. and unjust cause. Clearly, we do not live in a just society. To identify the brother over and over is to give him the fame and notoriety he and his dead brother obviously sought and did not deserve. He’s earned nothing except our contempt and scorn. But he’s got the cover of Rolling Stone.
BEN BOYCHUK
Here’s a new kind of cabin fever
This isn’t your great-great-grandfather’s log cabin. That’s the thought I had the other day when I picked up The Wall Street Journal’s Friday section called “Mansion” that featured a 7,000-square-foot version of what my ancestor and Daniel Boone built in Kentucky more than 200 years ago. The difference, of course, was those were mainly oneroom with a dirt floor and didn’t cost $12.5 million. Should you have any doubts that Americans aren’t quite as bad off as they may want to believe, I suggest you go out to your newsstand and pick up a Journal Friday Dan K. Thomasson and check out the is a columnist for Scripps-Howard section just menNews Service. tioned. Your perspective might change dramatically. But if you are like most of us who still think a million is a lot of money, your sensibilities might just be offended. The weekly feature displays page after page of eye-popping advertisements and features of multimilliondollar residences that make one believe, as humorist Will Rogers said, that America ultimately would ride to the poor house in a limousine. One time I actually found a house under
DAN K. THOMASSON
$1 million, and I’m sure there have been a few more, but the average has to be above $3 million. That is particularly so when a large display listing on one page, including pertinent information like “sitting on an acre within walking distance of the (Los Angeles) strip,” was a mere $28.8 million, and the other two featured on the page were $22 million and $19.5 million, the latter on Long Island that works out to a cool $1 million an acre for the 19 acres of the estate. That same page announced an auction for two properties in Aspen, Colo., with minimum opening bids of $17.5 million and $15 million. The first thing I asked myself: Who buys these monsters and then sells them only a couple of years later in many cases? Who has $12.5 million to sink in a house? That’s a sum that would permit any frugal person, even at today’s low interest rates, to live out one’s life in comfort without doing anything much. But then I discovered at least a partial answer. I picked up The New York Times and discovered a list of the 200 chief executive officers with the top incomes in the nation for last year. They ranged from $96 million to $11 million. None of these guys would have any problem buying any of the properties in the “Mansion” section. In fact, some of them probably have. These are public-company CEOs. The Times doesn’t list the incomes or fortunes of private-company owners and executives. Forbes Magazine is the place to go for that information. Just as shocking as the consider-
able increase in pay of most of those listed is another compilation by the newspaper that cites the 10 executives with the largest exit packages. You know, the so-called golden-parachute boys who, for one reason or another, have decided to leave their companies. That range is $155 million to $23.6 million, from James Mulva of ConocoPhillips Oil to Lynn Eisenhans of Sunoco. Am I jealous? You bet I am. Most of us are lucky to walk away with a twobit watch and enough of a monthly pension to take the spouse out to dinner every two weeks. That is, if your company hasn’t abandoned its pension like so many. Huge fortunes always have been made on real estate, but it was the air out of the housing-market balloon that brought about the great recession, vestiges of which are still lingering. But these men and women, far fewer of them than their male counterparts, with often more dollars than sense, as my clever grandmother liked to say, have survived quite nicely, even though their companies may not have. Oh, well. It is pleasant to look at the opulence available if one could win the lottery. That is, if there is enough left over from the winnings after settling for half the announced pot and paying taxes to buy one of the smaller places, say a million or so. There’s even a possibility that a tworoom log cabin might be available. It probably would have to be located up some holler in Appalachia, however.

Suggestions for how to be free of back pain
DR. ROY M. LOVE
In a recent patient education piece in the Journal of the American Medical Association, low back pain was discussed and chiropractic was mentioned as helpful for some cases of low back pain. Please read this informative patient education piece and if you have not resolved your low back pain with exercise, home remedies or physical therapy, it Dr. Roy M. Love is a is time you took your chiropractor at the medical doctor’s assoNittany Valley Chiciation journal advice ropractic Centers in and see a chiropractor. State College and Your back is made Centre Hall. up of bones (the vertebrae, or spinal column, which protects your spinal cord) and muscles. The vertebrae are stacked like blocks; the spinal
cord runs down the middle and between the vertebrae nerves extend from the spinal cord to the left and right. The disks lie between the vertebrae and form spongy shock absorbers between each bone. Several layers of muscle cover the back, and ligaments and tendons support the vertebrae, supporting posture and giving the body flexibility. Back pain can be caused by problems with muscles, bones, or nerves in the back.
CAUSES OF LOW BACK PAIN AND SYMPTOMS
Often, the cause of back pain is unknown. Back pain can be caused by a strain of the muscle. This type of back pain can vary; it can be dull or sharp and may get worse with sitting, standing, walking or other movement. Lying down often helps. Muscle pain does not extend down your leg toward your foot. Sometimes the disk can bulge out, putting pressure on the nerve that is exiting between the vertebrae.
Signs of a pinched nerve may include pain that radiates down your leg, numbness or tingling. More rarely, it can cause problems with controlling your bowels or bladder. Signs of underlying disease requiring immediate medical attention include back pain accompanied by unexplained weight loss or fever. Arthritis or degeneration of the bony vertebrae can also cause back pain.
DIAGNOSIS
Most back pain is uncomplicated and self-limited. If your pain does not get better in a few days or weeks, if you have fever or weight loss, or if you have signs of nerve involvement, you should call your doctor. A medical history and physical examination will allow the doctor to make appropriate treatment recommendations. Imaging (X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography) is not recommended for uncomplicated low back pain. Imaging is used if you have had trauma, evidence of nerve involvement, sometimes for those older than 70
years, or if symptoms are very prolonged. It is also used if your doctor suspects another disease, such as infection or cancer.
TREATMENT
Many treatments are available for low back pain. Often, exercises and physical therapy can help. Some people benefit from chiropractic therapy or acupuncture. Sometimes medications are needed, including analgesics (painkillers) or medications that reduce inflammation. Surgery is not usually needed but may be considered if other therapies have failed.
PREVENTION
Exercise and good posture can maintain good back health. Your back and abdominal muscles work to maintain posture and need exercise. It is important to use proper technique with strenuous activities such as lifting heavy objects and shoveling snow. This includes bending your knees so you use your legs and buttocks as well as your back to lift, and turning your whole body so you don’t twist just your back.

Renowned expert to lead new division of child abuse pediatrics From Gazette staff reports HERSHEY — Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital has recruited Dr. Lori D. Frasier, an internationally recognized expert on child abuse issues, to lead its new Division of Child Abuse Pediatrics. Frasier joins Penn State Hershey from the University of Utah School of Medicine, where she is a professor in the department of pediatrics, Division of Child Protection and Family Health. She also is the current chair of the American Board of Pediatrics’ Subboard on Child Abuse Pediatrics. As chief of the Division of Child Abuse Pediatrics, Frasier will direct all Children’s Hospital clinical services related to child abuse and will report directly to the chair of pediatrics. She will work in close collaboration with Penn State Hershey Center for the Protection of Children on its various educational, research and advocacy initiatives related to child abuse and neglect. Frasier’s appointment is effective Sept. 1. Already, she is working with Children’s Hospital and Center for the Protection of Children leadership to recruit additional child abuse specialists — including a clinical child abuse psychologist and a second child abuse pediatrician — and to
launch a specialized clinic that will serve as a medical home for abused children in foster care. That clinic is expected to open in the coming months. “Dr. Frasier’s expertise and experience on a wide range of issues related to child abuse will help us take our clinical child protection program to the next level and allow us to become the kind of national model we truly desire to be,” said Dr. A. Craig Hillemeier, chair of pediatrics, Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and medical director, Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital. “We expect her leadership will impact the lives of not only patients of our Children’s Hospital, but of children throughout central Pennsylvania and beyond.” Frasier’s clinical expertise centers on the evaluation of child abuse and neglect, and she has a special clinical interest in medical conditions that mimic child abuse. Frasier also has been pioneering in the use of telemedicine to accurately diagnose physical and sexual abuse. She is the director of a statewide program funded by the Utah Attorney General’s office that provides medical supervision of medical providers in Children’s Justice Centers throughout the state. She is prominently published in areas
of child sexual abuse and abusive head trauma; has lectured extensively locally, nationally, and abroad; and is considered a leading international expert in the field of child abuse. She is board-certified in general pediatrics and child abuse pediatrics. “I am enthusiastic about joining a superb team of dedicated clinicians and researchers at Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital,” Frasier said. “My role will be to expand the clinical services to children, provide education to health care professionals and others in the recognition and management of child abuse, and to establish the Children’s Hospital as a nationally and internationally recognized center of clinical expertise and research in child abuse pediatrics.” Frasier earned her M.D. from The University of Utah School of Medicine, then completed a pediatric residency and child abuse fellowship at the University of Washington, Seattle Children’s Hospital. She has served on the faculties of the University of Iowa and the University of MissouriColumbia. At Missouri she was head of the Child Protection Program and director of the Division of General Pediatrics. At University of Utah, she is program director for the newly accredited Fellowship in Child Abuse Pediatrics.

Students at PSU receive funding for STEM studies From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — A $3.04 million U.S. Department of Labor grant is helping central Pennsylvania adults prepare for careers in science, technology, engineering and math at Penn State campuses, including the World Campus and the Pennsylvania College of Technology. The STEM Career Advancement Project of Central Pennsylvania was awarded to the Central Pennsylvania Workforce Development Corp., which in partnership with the Private Industry Council of the Central Corridor is providing scholarship opportunities and incumbent worker training for eligible adults in nine counties. “STEM CAP was designed to help adults who have college experience but have found themselves underemployed or unemployed get back in the workforce with a STEM career,” said Kristy Kline, CPWDC STEM recruitment coordinator. “As predicted, these careers are blossoming in our region. This grant will help complete the education necessary for these op-
portunities. STEM CAP scholarships, ranging from $200 to $20,000, have been awarded to adults looking to complete bachelor’s and master’s degrees in accounting, nursing, engineering, information technology, health administration and business administration, just to name a few.” To be eligible, scholarship recipients need to live in central Pennsylvania and be enrolled or be eligible to enroll in STEM-related education programs. Currently, 20 recipients are enrolled at Penn State’s University Park campus, Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, Penn State Altoona, Penn State Hazleton, Penn State Lewistown Center and the World Campus, and 25 students have enrolled at Penn College. State College resident Lucy Aplan and Julian resident Robin Williams are receiving $20,000 STEM scholarships and pursuing associate degrees in medical laboratory technology (MLT) at Penn State Lewistown Center. Both have bachelor’s degrees, which was integral to their receiving STEM scholarships.
Aplan always wanted a Penn State degree but after high school decided to start working in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Before returning to State College in 2004, she earned a bachelor’s degree in marine science. A recent layoff gave her the opportunity to enroll at Penn State. “I would like to merge my marine science degree with an MLT degree and work in a marine research lab,” said Aplan, whose brother and sister are Penn State graduates. Williams, who works part time at a Lewistown Hospital lab and does health and wellness life insurance screenings for another company, is in the second year of the MLT program. “Everything just fell into place perfectly,” said Williams, when she learned about Penn State’s two-year program. “I always wanted an MLT degree, but couldn’t afford to quit work to attend a four-year program. I love working in a lab. It’s always fascinating work.” For information about Penn State education programs for adults, visit http://ceup.psu.edu/ and http:// www.worldcampus.psu.edu/.
Easterly Parkway Elementary to host dedication of library From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — Students in Courtney Beers’ 2012-13 kindergarten class organized and built a Little Free Library for their community service project. All of their hard work will soon pay off as they dedicate their Little Free Library, located in the center of the Easterly Parkway Elementary playground, to the community at 4 p.m. on Aug. 1. The class discussed their community service project options, and after learning more about the Little Free Library from Beers, decided it would be the best project for them to complete. “With Easterly Parkway Elementary being so focused on reading, I felt this would be a great connection for our class to pursue. Because the library will benefit many people, not just students, it will relate to the community they live in and the kids were all involved in designing the library. The overall excitement of this project and knowing how many people would be using it generated greater enthusiasm for reading in general,” Beers said. Little Free Library is an organization with a lot of history. Some trace it back to a pioneering woman named Lutie Stearns, a pioneer who traveled thousands of miles in a horse-drawn wagon filled with books. She was dedicated to helping people in small towns have access to quality books.

All 50 of the United States and more than 40 countries worldwide support some type of Little Free Library. Their mission is: n To promote literacy and the love of reading by building free book exchanges worldwide. n To build a sense of community to share skills, creativity and wisdom across generations. In preparing for this library, which will allow people from the community to take a book and leave a book, the students embraced every aspect of the planning. They designed and painted the posters that were hung all around the school and neighborhood, requesting both adult and children’s book donations. Through funding provided by Easterly Parkway’s Parent Teacher Organization, they purchased the kit to build their library, and the students brainstormed about how it should look. Their library will look similar to their school, with blue walls and yellow windows. Once the class started receiving book donations, the students placed stickers on each book that read, “Always a Gift, Never For Sale,” from the Little Free Library.

Current installment of GED test to expire From Gazette staff reports
PLEASANT GAP — The CIU No. 10 Development Center for Adults recently announced that the current version of the GED test will expire at the end of 2013. The current version, known as the 2002 Series GED test, will be replaced with the new 2014 GED test on Jan. 21, 2014. Those who have taken the 2002 Series GED test, but not passed all five parts, have until the end of 2013 to pass or they will need to start over again in 2014 with the new GED test in order to receive their high school credential. “The GED test opens doors to college, better jobs, the respect adults deserve and the satisfaction of earning a high school credential,” said Edie Gordon, director, CIU lO Development Center for Adults, in a press release. “So we want to be sure that everyone is aware of this deadline. GED test-takers must act now to finish and pass before the current test expires.” “Support is available, right here in Centre, Clinton and Clearfield counties,” said Gordon. “We can help adult learners get
prepared to take the parts of the GED test they still need to pass. We want you to succeed.” Interested GED test-takers can get more information by calling the CIU No. 10 Development Center for Adults at (814) 359-3069. “To anyone who has already started the GED test, your future is calling. By passing the GED test, you can answer that call,” said Randy Trask, president and CEO of GED Testing Service. “You owe it to yourself. Don’t miss the chance to turn one small step into your next big opportunity in life.” The GED test has opened doors to better jobs and college programs for more than 18 million graduates since 1942. Last year nearly 800,000 adults sat for the GED test, which is accepted by virtually all U.S. colleges and employers. As the creator of the official GED test, GED Testing Service has a responsibility to ensure that the program continues to be a reliable and valuable pathway to a better life for the millions of adults without a high school credential.

Grange fairgrounds hosts four-day dog show By SAM STITZER
pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
CENTRE HALL — The Nita-Nee Kennel Club, collaborating with the Chambersburg Kennel Club, hosted a dog show on the Grange Fairgrounds in Centre Hall July 18 through 21. Show chairman Donna Stoey, of the Nita-Nee Kennel Club, said there were actually four separate shows held at the event — two sponsored by Nita Nee, and two sponsored by Chambersburg. Each day was a separate show, and dogs could be entered in any or all of the shows. American Kennel Club rules require each local club to host at least two shows a year. The Grange show fulfilled those requirements for both clubs. AKC representative Jim Mitchell said there were 754 dogs registered for Friday’s show, 989 for Saturday’s and 916 for Sunday’s. Dogs
from all around Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and several other states participated. They were judged continuously in nine separate show rings, including two obedience judging rings. “We judge both beauty and brains,” Stoey said. She noted that dogs are judged in the context of their particular breed. Working dogs, for example, are judged not just on their appearance, but also on their fitness for the work they were bred to do. “There is no perfect dog,” said Stoey. “We just do the best we can.” Stoey said that judges are booked months or even years in advance. The AKC must approve the judges, and judges are restricted as to how often they can judge in any geographic area, to avoid any concerns of favoritism. Winning dogs in each of the more than 100 breeds present
move on to be judged in one of seven groups (sporting, hunting, toy, etc.). The seven group winners go to the best of show judging, and the best of show winner is the one dog that is undefeated. With the temperature hovering in the mid-90s, Stoey said that the dog owners use electric fans and chamois-covered ice packs, which cool the dogs without transferring moisture to them. There were children’s wading pools and hoses to give the dogs a cool bath and several misters on the grounds, spraying a fine mist of water for cooling both dogs and humans. “We do everything possible to keep the dogs cool,” said Stoey. “They’re the most important thing.” Stoey’s own dog, a 9-year-old long-haired Dachshund named Champion Von Gay’s Porsche Turbo (nicknamed Bo) won Best of Variety in Friday’s show.

Car show benefits Toys for Tots program By SAM STITZER
pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — The fourth annual “Christmas in July” car show to benefit the Toys for Tots program was held in the parking lot of television station WHVL on East College Avenue in State College on July 20. Car exhibitors brought new unwrapped toys as their entry fees. About 25 cars and motorcycles were on display. Show chairman Penny Hain said the turnout for the show was low due to a weather forecast of severe thunderstorms in the area. The day actually turned out mostly sunny, with the predicted storms never arriving. She credited the Toys for Tots program for attracting spectators and show entrants. “The charity really draws people in to this show,” said Hain. “Next year will be our fifth year, and we would like to do something special.” Ideas are being considered, including possible simultaneous car shows — one at the present location and one across College Avenue in the Nittany Mall parking lot. A wide variety of vehicles were shown at
this event, including Dodge and Plymouth muscle cars from the 1960s, classic Fords and Chevys from the 1950s, a rare Willys Jeepster, a 1953 Ford pickup and a 1954 Chevy shown by Bill Shugarts of Clearfield. Shugart’s four door sedan is a survivor, still wearing its original two-tone green paint job and running strong with its classic “blue flame” six-cylinder engine. The modern-day muscle genre was represented by a new-generation Dodge Challenger and a 2005 Mustang, both with bright red paint shining in the sun. Show organizer Tim Drake, of Lewistown, showed his red 2007 Dodge Dakota R/T pickup, which had recently taken a second place award at the Chrysler Nationals competition in Carlisle. This truck was a rare, top of the line model offered only in small numbers, with fewer than 2,000 made in 2006 and 2007. Drake’s Dakota is in showroom condition, and always attracts a crowd of admirers. In addition to the vehicles on display, a silent auction was held, as well as a 50-50 drawing to benefit the Toys for Tots program. A model car show was on display, food and automotive-related vendors were present, and live music was provided by the group Bandit.

Ag Progress Days needs ClearWater offers chance items for silent auction to check out dragonflies From Gazette staff reports
From Gazette staff reports
STATE COLLEGE — Curator Rita Gref and the volunteer staff of Ag Progress Days are still looking for donations for the silent auction that is a much-anticipated part of Ag Progress Days. The funds that are raised help the museum to complete exhibits, offer programs about the collections and provide hands-on activities that connect the agriculture activities of the past to present day farming.
GREENWOOD — ClearWater Conservancy’s next adventure in conservation will get nature enthusiasts up close and personal with dragonflies — fast-flying acrobats that rely on water at every stage of their life. Local nature writer and ClearWater board member Cynthia Berger will lead a dragonfly-watching expedition at 1 p.m. on July 27 at Greenwood Furnace State Park in Mifflin County. The event is free and open to all, but registration is required and is limited to 20 participants. Dragonflies, like birds, can by identified by distinctive colors and field marks. On this easy lakeside walk, you’ll learn to recognize some of the common local species. Berger, the author of “Wild Guide: Dragonflies,” will also discuss the dragonfly life cycle and its connection to water, the importance of dragonflies in local ecosystems, and how development and water pollution threaten some species. The expedition leaves from the beach at Greenwood Lake and will last about an hour. Those attending are asked to bring close-focus binoculars and/or a digital camera. In event of rain or heavy overcast, the expedition will be canceled. Participants will receive emailed notices of weather condition updates or cancellation if necessary. The rain date is scheduled for 1 p.m. on July 28. Driving time from State College to Greenwood Furnace State Park is about 35 minutes.

Poe Valley CCC camp 80th anniversary celebrated By SAM STITZER
pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
MILROY — A celebration of the 80th anniversary of the establishment of the Poe Valley Civilian Conservation Corps camp number S-63 was held in Poe Valley State Park on July 21. The Poe Valley camp was part of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s famous initiative to get the millions of unemployed young men of America working again during the Great Depression of the 1930s. There were more than 2,650 CCC camps located in all 48 states, as well as in the territories of Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The state of Pennsylvania had 113 camps, which was the second highest number of camps in any state except California. Enrollees included unemployed young men, age 18 to 25, veterans of World War I, and locally enrolled men, who were residents of localities near the camps. Camp number S-63 (Company 1333) was located in Poe Valley, south of Coburn. The camp buildings were located about two miles from present day Poe Valley State Park. The dam forming the lake at the park was constructed by the CCC workers, as were the roads leading into the park from the Coburn and Millheim area. The Poe Valley camp had 140 enrollees. About 75 people gathered in a park pavilion to hear presentations by local historian Vonnie Henninger, and event organizer Bill Marcum. Henninger spoke describing the camp enrollees’ lifestyle. The camps were run in a military style, with men living in barracks, and having their work and activities structured by officers of the CCC program. Their pay was $30 per month and $25 of the money was required to be sent home to their dependents and families each month. Enrollment periods were from six months up to two years. Famous alumni of the CCC program include actors Raymond Burr and Robert Mitchum, test pilot Chuck Yeager, and U.S. Naval Admiral Hyman Rickover, among many others. Henninger gave many details about the enrollees’ daily routine. The men rose at 5 a.m., lunch was a half hour, and workers returned to the camps at 4 p.m. The evenings were free time, and lights were out at 10 p.m. each night. Free time was occupied with sports activities and educational courses, which were encouraged, as many of the men were

uneducated and nearly illiterate. Church services were held every Sunday at the camps, or the men could attend services in nearby towns. Henninger noted that when the CCC program was created, the national unemployment rate was 25 percent, with some counties seeing rates as high as 33 percent. The program is widely considered to be one of the greatest government programs in American history. Marcum spoke regarding the Poe Valley Camp, where his grandfather, Sumner Frankenburger, was a foreman. In the nine years of the CCC’s existence, about 2,800 men had been stationed at the camp. The camp contained 24 buildings, including barracks, mess hall, officers’ quarters and numerous outbuildings. The officers’ quarters building is still standing and is owned by the Yarnall family. Jack Yarnall was present at the event and gave tours of the building, now used as a summer home. He pointed out the chestnut floors and pine paneling, all of which were fashioned by CCC camp residents from lumber cut from trees that were on the property. Marcum noted that in October of 1935, the men began construction of the Poe Valley dam, which created the 27 acre lake in Poe Valley State Park. Water first flowed over the spillway on Dec. 19, 1937. The budget for the dam’s construction was $15,000. For comparison, Marcum pointed out that upgrades and improvements to the dam were performed in 2008, carrying a $3.4 million price tag. Marcum presented a short film, recently discovered and purchased at an online auction. The film, shot in 1936, showed construction of the dam, and contained many scenes of camp activities. Some audience members who were descendents of camp enrollees recognized their fathers or grandfathers in the film. Marcum thinks the film was shot by Drew Kolb, who ran the Millheim Theater, and was known for making home movies in the Penns Valley area during the 1930s. “This film is a one of a kind find for us,� Marcum said.

Among the attendees at the anniversary celebration was CCC camp veteran Attillo (Tim) Ruggieri. Ruggieri, 90, who was from the Philadelphia area, told of lying about his age and entering the program when he was just 15 years old. He served in CCC camps in Grand Canyon National Park and near Tucson, Arizona. “We built adobe homes for the Indians,� Ruggieri said. He also helped to fight fires in the U.S. National Forest in 1939.

These boys have attended the encampments since they were toddlers and can explain the movements of the Union or Confederates in various battles and the reasons for the strategies. They have learned history while having fun and making friends among the other Civil War Re-enactment families. David also led the Children’s Militia through some drills so that they too would learn and understand what they were all there for. Hope said she is done camping in the summer, but will continue to take part once the humidity drops in the fall. The garments that they brought home were soaked from both perspiration and the rain, which flooded them out on their last day in Gettysburg. On arrival at their home near Butler, Pa., they had to immediately set up the tents again to properly dry out. Next all the rifles, buckles, belts, canteens and other items had to be cleaned and polished for the next encampment.

‘Last Cruise’ is a State College tradition By SAMI HULINGS
shulings@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — After an ordinance banning “cruising” around the block was passed in State College in 1986, WRSC disc jockeys Kevin Nelson and Wendy Williams put out a request for one last cruise the night the law would take effect. Hundreds of locals answered the call, filling the downtown area with cars of all makes and models. As one of four major fundraising events for the Centre County Youth Service Bureau (YSB), the 28th annual “Last Cruise,” will continue to celebrate the love of cars, cruising and family on July 28. The Last Cruise will include an invitation-only “Best of the Best” competition, a cruise around downtown State College, and open satellite cruise-ins at Stocker Chevrolet, Otto’s Pub & Brewery and Country Inn Suites. Car enthusiasts are encouraged to gather at these businesses to celebrate their love of cars at no cost. Because of the focus on families and children, YSB CEO Andrea Boyles said children’s activities will occur throughout the day at Kids Zone at Central Parklet. Parents are encouraged to bring their children to experience the wonderful world of cars. “We recognize the car show world is something that lots of kids never get exposed to, so hopefully this is a way for them to see it’s not just about the cars, it’s about the commitment of the car owners and seeing how careful they are, how hard they work to keep their cars in the condition they do, how proud they are of their vehicles and what they’ve taken care of and brought to share,” she said. “There is a whole lot to be learned for kids through this experience.” At the car show competition to be held from 1 to 4 p.m. on Allen Street, 60 vehicles will be on display. “These are really great show cars, cars you might not see anywhere else,” Boyles said. After awards are given out, the annual downtown cruise will take place from 4:30 to 6 p.m. “The Borough of State College, with great spirit, opened up the streets to allow people to cruise around College Avenue and Beaver Avenue. What you’ll see at that point is some really great cars, plus lots and lots of folks who have cars and enjoy the Sunday drive, just cruising around those blocks,” Boyles said. According to Boyles, the cruising will be

AT THE 2011 Last Cruise, the Penn State Nittany Lion tried to give some of the vehicles a test drive. a great opportunity for spectators to see interesting cars, while honoring the history of the cruise. Until the ordinance banning cruising was made, Boyles said “for young people, that (cruising) was a favorite thing to do.” Both YSB and WRSC have been involved with the cruise since it began, with funds raised benefitting YSB. Boyles said WRSC and Forever Broadcasting are still critical components in the planning of the event, as they are responsible for helping to keep the event alive throughout the years. As YSB is home to 14 different programs offered to children and families, such as runaway shelters, drop-in centers and Big Brothers/Big Sisters, a significant amount of funding needs to be raised. “To make all of that happen, we have a lot of different funding streams. We have the large federal grants. We have contracts with counties. But to make it all happen in the next year, we need to raise privately more than $450,000. The cruise is a piece of that effort,” Boyles said. Though Boyles said the cruise it not a huge money maker, it is expected to raise between $15,000 and $20,000. “It is obviously important in that big picture of fundraising,” she said. But what is most important to Boyles is how the cruise is a way for YSB to plan a day that is open to the entire community. “Hopefully families from around the county will come and enjoy. (We) hope

that this is an opportunity for families to get out, enjoy some time together, get to know us a little better and do all of that at no cost.” This focus on families and children is why Boyles believes the Last Cruise has become such an honored tradition in State College. “It is an incredible opportunity for families to enjoy something together,” she said. Boyles said including children’s activities and focusing on families is an important part of the cruise because children are the reason YSB exists. “We exist for kids. Through our programs we work with kids who have serious, serious problems and needs, but we also work with the average child in Centre County. We work in schools and we do outreach activities all over and in all sorts of venues,” she said. “We’re committed to making sure kids have fun and that kids know who we are, so if they do have problems, struggles or
need help, they do know who we are. For us, that’s the center of everything we do.” For more information about the Last Cruise, visit www.ccysb.com/last_cruise. The Last Cruise is currently full and will not accept entrance applications on the day of the event.

Harper’s For more than 85 years, Harper’s, 114 W. College Ave, has specialized in providing men in the Centre Region with tailored clothing, custom clothing and sportswear. Since the store opened in 1926, Harper’s has offered local men and Penn State students and alumni unsurpassed quality, style expertise and experience. “We offer a level of expertise, especially when it comes to men’s tailored clothing, that none of the other stores have. I have guys that have worked for me that individually have 20 or 30 years experience,� owner Brian Cohen said. As a third generation retailer, Cohen believes the quality and experience Harper’s provides customers with is incomparable. “They (employees) have an understanding of fit and style. (They) understand the makeup and what makes a custom men’s suit and how to do that. You’re not walking in buying a suit. We’re actually helping you put your wardrobe together,� he said. Because the store also offers in-house tailoring, Cohen feels Harper’s provides customers with value others cannot. “Being able to be a store that has our own in-house alteration department, we are just able to have that level of expertise and of course, outstanding service.� In addition to its tailored, custom and sport clothing, Harper’s recently added a collection of better men’s Penn State apparel. Cohen said over the years, the store’s Penn State business grew as more and more of his vendors entered into the licensing business.

“Six or seven years ago, if I was going to be a Penn State store, I’d be buying the same stuff that all the other stores carry. There wasn’t really a reason for a better men’s clothing store to carry Penn State, but now there is a reason,� he said. “We are getting a great response from people really wanting to have the kind of apparel that we’re offering.� This Penn State apparel will be featured in the ‘Harper’s Varsity Club,’ located in the back of the store. Currently, Harper’s is undergoing a remodel and refresh, to update and make room for ‘Harper’s Varsity Club.’ “It’s going to have a real vintage feel with lots of Penn State memorabilia, a place that would make you think of if you were hanging out in the New York City athletic club, in their lounge,� Cohen said. For Cohen, offering customers quality clothing and this personal, ‘hanging out’ experience is what has made Harper’s successful for more than 80 years. “We have customers that come in all the time to just hang out and talk. We have that kind of relationship,� he said. “One of the best things also is we’ve been open so long that for every Penn State graduate alive, Harper’s has always been there.� Because of the quality of both the clothing and the employees, Cohen encourages all men in the area to experience Harper’s. “If you’re in State College and you’re looking for the most unique collection of men’s apparel, tailored and sportswear, Harper’s is the place to visit.�

Not a Complete Washout
Spikes score a pair of runs before rains arrive, top Connecticut By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH
sports@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — The State College Spikes scored just in time on Monday afternoon. As a heavy rainstorm visibly moved toward Medlar Field in the bottom of the fifth inning of a tie game against Connecticut, the Spikes pushed across two runs minutes before the skies opened, washed out the field, and ended play for the day. The runs, scored with no outs in the inning, allowed the game to be declared official and State College came away with a 4-2 victory in the rubber game of the three-game set against the Tigers. First baseman David Washington and third baseman Carson Kelly delivered RBI singles in the inning as State College took its first lead in the game. After Kelly’s hit, Connecticut manager Andrew Graham started toward the mound to call in a reliever for pitcher Julio Felix. He never got there. The rain started in earnest, and the players from both teams left the field and headed for the locker rooms. Thirty minutes later, the umpires walked out to home plate and officially called the game over. “We were down early,” State College coach Oliver Marmol said, “and we were able to tie it up and then we got those two runs before it started raining. It was huge. “
TIM WEIGHT/For The Gazette
STATE COLLEGE’S Cesar Valera connects for a hit during a game earlier this season. Valera scored a run that gave the Spikes their first lead during a 4-2 win on Monday at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. The game was actually the second game of a double header with the rain-suspended game from Sunday night being played first. The Tigers scored three late runs to take that game 5-2 — a fact that Marmol used to motivate his players in the second contest. “If there’s anything we preach here, it’s mental toughness,” Marmol said. “That’s why I was not happy today because it
wasn’t there (in the first game). We split a double header. If there was some mental toughness there, we would have won both games. “But we will continue to learn and continue to develop.” Game 2 began looking like the Tigers were on their way to a sweep. They put up a run in the first on two singles, a passed ball, and a wild pitch by Spikes’ starter Willie Paulino.
Connecticut made it 2-0 in the second after a single by Kasey Coffman, a hit batter, and an RBI single by Javier Azcona. It could have been worse as Paulino stranded two runners when he got Curt Powell to hit into a fielder’s choice to end the inning. “With Willie Paulio’s position it’s mainly going out there and slowing him down,” Marmol said. “He’s excited about being out there on the mound, and if
you slow him down and get him under control he usually does a pretty good job. “He limited the damage, which is good to see from him, and he slowed it down and was able to make good pitches is some key situations.” The Spikes crept to within one in the bottom of the second on a two-out single by Jimmy Bosco, and then Kelly tied it in the third when he drove in Bruce Caldwell with the Spikes’ second run. “It’s situational hitting,” Marmol said. “We been getting 10, 11, 12 hits a game, but they’ve been scattered, so it was good getting those runs through there to give these guys a little confidence.” With Paulino settled in and the rain bearing down, Washington came up in the fifth with Caesar Valera at third and Mason Katz on first with none out. He wasted little time sending a line single to left-center field that scored Valera and gave SC its first lead. Kelly followed with another RBI single, making it 4-2, as the rain began to cascade down. “You want to remember that the pressure is still on the pitcher,” Washington said. “He still has to make a good pitch, and you just have to put a good swing on it. We had a talk with Marmol about situational hitting and when guys are in scoring position we’re supposed to get them in. I took that to heart.” The Spikes now travel to Ohio for a two-game series against Mahoning Valley.
Upset Special
Howard bests Lemont to take County League playoff series By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH
sports@centrecountygazette.com
HOWARD — No. 7 seed Howard did not have a very good summer in the Centre County Baseball League, but things are decidedly looking up for the Hawks. Led by a stellar, six-hit pitching performance by Brian Pelka and an efficient, 10-hit attack, Howard outlasted Lewistown on Sunday afternoon and closed out its series against the No. 2 seed with a 3-1 victory at Howard Elementary School. The Hawks, who finished the regular season in seventh place out of eight teams, now take on the No. 1 seeded and undefeated Philipsburg Spike Island Pirates in the semi-final series which is
scheduled to begin today at Philipsburg at 5:45 p.m. Pelka surrendered Lewistown’s only run in the first inning, settled down, and subsequently shut out Lewistown on four hits over the final six innings. He retired nine of the last 10 batters he faced. Pelka was aided by Scott Zuback’s four hits, including two singles, a double, and a triple, and two hits each by Travis Fisher and Kyle Womer. Zuback, Fisher, and Luke Gardner each had RBI hits to account for the Hawks’ runs. “We had a rough year,” Fisher said. “We had trouble getting guys here and having the same lineup each game, but we came through the last week before the playoffs started and put together
a pretty good run. Started scoring some runs and carried it over. This team is a lot better than a No. 7 seed.” Apparently, everyone showed up for the Hawks on Sunday. After falling behind Lewistown by a run after two hits and an RBI single by Ryan Keefer in the first inning, Howard came back and tied the game in the second, went ahead with a run in the fourth, and then added some insurance in the fifth. Fisher got the Hawkes started in the second with a leadoff double and scored two outs later on a single by Zuback. Fisher reached again when he led off the fourth with a walk. He then moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Joe Pillot and scored the go-ahead run on a single by
Gardner. All of this went on as Pelka was becoming increasingly difficult to hit. He pitched out of a two-out, two-on jam in the second, but from there allowed only three more base runners, none of whom advanced past first base. “The older you get, the more you have to change your approach,” Pelka said. “I was able to get my off-speed pitches over for strikes and that helped me set up my fast ball. The guys played good defense (no errors), and you can’t win without good defense, and we sure had it today. “I try to be as efficient as I can and let the guys put the ball in play. You really have to rely on your defense, and I couldn’t have done it without them.” In the fifth, Fisher drove in
Tyler Womer with Howard’s third run, and then Pelka and the Hawks clamped down on Lewistown’s final six hitters to wrap up the win and the series. “It was a pretty flawless game for both teams,” Zubeck said, “pitcher’s duel. We did hit a little bit more than they did, but it was a pretty good game. In this league, though, anyone can beat anyone, so the seeds don’t really matter that much.” Now it’s on to Philipsburg to take on the so-far untouchable Pirates. “They (Philipsburg) are incredibly tough,” Fisher said. “We have to play our best. We have to pitch outstanding. But we’re not going to back down. We are ready to go, and we’re all excited for Philipsburg.”

Bluegrass festival draws thousands to Centre Hall By SAM STITZER
pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
CENTRE HALL — The sounds of bluegrass music filled the air in Centre Hall for four days on July 11-14, as the seventh annual Remington Ryde Bluegrass Festival came to the Grange Fairgrounds. The festival had previously been held in Reedsville, but according to festival organizer Ryan Frankhouser, the event had outgrown its venue in Reedsville’s Youth Park. Frankhouser was especially glad for the Grange Fairgrounds 1,500 camper sites, which accommodated hundreds of
campers from about 18 states and 30 units from Canada. The festival drew thousands of participants and spectators to Grange Park for four days of down-home banjo, guitar and fiddle music, as well as after-hours jam sessions in the camper areas. Players said those sessions are what help to define bluegrass festivals like the Remington Ryde event. Frankhouser hopes the partnership with the Grange Fairgrounds will continue as the event continues to grow. The festival featured more than 20 acts from near and far, highlighted by Rhonda Vincent and the Rage. Vincent has been
called the queen of bluegrass, and she was treated royally by audiences of about 1,000 people at the festival. In addition to the performances, various instrument-specific and music theory workshops were conducted, as well as a church service on Sunday morning. A raffle with the first prize being a hand made guitar was held to raise funds for the festival. John Mannino, who operates Lumber City Guitars in Reedsville, supplied a beautifully crafted guitar for the prize. Mannino makes his guitars mainly using hand tools, from various woods including some exotic species. He spends
about four to six weeks making a guitar, and sells them for around $2,600. He has been making guitars for 12 years. Grange Fair secretary Darlene Confer said she was glad to have the festival in the fairgrounds. She noted that due to rising costs of taxation, sewer, electricity and employees’ pay, the Grange Fair doesn’t pay for itself anymore. More events like the Bluegrass Festival are needed to occupy the fairgrounds and provide income for the fair organization. “The organizers and attendees are ecstatic,” Confer said of the new location of the festival.
State Theatre introduces new $3 movie program From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — An affordable movie option has returned to State College courtesy of The State Theatre. The State Theatre recently announced that $3 movies will become a part of the theatre’s regular programming. The State’s decision to include $3 movies is in response to the closure of the Carmike Cinema 6, also known as the Dollar Theater, near the Nittany Mall. The management at The State Theatre felt that there was a unique opportunity to provide State College residents with affordable, blockbuster movie options. The community is invited to catch the inaugural $3 film at 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 3. The State will be showing the latest James Bond film, “Skyfall,” in which Bond saves the day and M, played by Dame Judi Dench, in this 007 thriller starring Daniel Craig and Javier Bardem.

“CONVERGENCE THEORY,” a photo exhibition by Dana Morrison, will be on display at the Bellefonte Art Museum in August. A free reception will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. on Aug. 4.
‘Convergence Theory’ set for Bellefonte Art Museum From Gazette staff reports BELLEFONTE — The Bellefonte Art Museum for Centre County will host a free reception from 1 to 4 p.m. on Aug. 4 at The Community Gallery upstairs in the museum. The exhibition is titled “Convergence Theory,” a photographic series by Dana Morrison.
This series of photographs considers subjects on a small, intimate level. At this short distance the viewer can focus less on identifying the object and more on the lines, vibrant color and the delicate intricacies of each piece. The close contemplation in each photograph is meant to ignite for the viewer a new spark of imagination and wonder about the their surroundings.
State shared his perspective on the inclusion of $3 films, stating they are simply another way that the theater is serving the community and staying true to their mission. “Our mission at The State truly centers on providing affordable, community-centric content. One of our core responsibilities is to serve as a vibrant cultural hub that provides community members with access to homegrown acts, acts of national renown and popular culture. Having a location in downtown State College where individuals can view blockbuster films at reasonable prices is another way that we are able to do that,” Biever said. To stay in the loop for upcoming $3 movies at The State, be sure to follow @ TheStateTheatre on Twitter and “like” The State Theatre’s page on Facebook. For more information about the $3 movies, contact The State Theatre Box Office at (814) 272-0606 or visit the website at www.TheStateTheatre.org.

9 tips for recent grads Hardy earns accreditation These ideas will help you grow
Graduation season brings excitement and reflection for new grads and the rest of us. Think back to your first job. You probably remember some good things and some embarrassing moments. With that in mind, here are nine tips for personal and professional growth to help recent grads and maybe even some cagey veterans: 1. Plan, prepare, practice. Whether you have a job interview, a staff meeting, a one-on-one with your boss or you are just starting your day, invest time in planning, preparation and practice. Write down your goals. Build an action plan. Role play various David M. scenarios. Mastovich is 2. Track your progpresident of MASSolutions Inc. ress. What worked and For more what didn’t? Write it information, go down or enter it electo massolutions.biz. tronically. Refer back to learn and tweak future activities. 3. Think about your social media presence. Peers, subordinates and bosses can see your Facebook and Twitter posts. No cleavage shots, “action photos” or blank images on LinkedIn. If you have any doubts about your social media activities,
DAVID M. MASTOVICH
show Mom and see what she thinks. 4. Failures are necessary for growth. You will learn more from mistakes than just about anything else. 5. Work on understanding you. What makes you tick? Take a self assessment like Myers-Briggs, DISC or Predictive Index. Ask those who know you what they think. Then, focus on finding opportunities that fit those characteristics and commit to personal growth. 6. Listen. Most people aren’t good listeners. Listen to the words and the inflection. Understand body language. Repeat back what you heard to confirm it is correct. Make sure those around you know you are listening — don’t look at your smartphone or text while someone else is talking. 7. Do more than is expected. Do what other people don’t want to do. Do it when no one is looking. And don’t expect a trophy for just being on the team. 8. Build relationships. Create and maintain meaningful connections in all aspects of your life. Relationships are indispensable, not disposable. 9. Don’t compare yourself to others. Worrying about where others are or what they’re doing isn’t productive. People exaggerate their stories anyway. Regardless, be happy for them and create your own success. Enjoy these exciting times. Own your situation. Focus on personal and professional growth — regardless of your age or position.
