Barron addresses business community By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State President Eric Barron addressed the Centre County business community on June 26 during a luncheon at the Nittany Lion Inn. The event was sponsored by the Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County. Business leaders and politicians heard Barron outline his plan for economic development. Some of Barron’s key points: n Create a student innovation foundation that offers a welcoming environment with staff who will assist students with implementing their entrepreneurial ambitions. n Develop partnerships with public and private entities to assist entrepreneurs. n Create an entity outside of the university that would draft proposals for government grants designated for entrepreneurs. n Place an emphasis on assisting faculty with concepts that could transition to the marketplace. n Offer $50,000 awards for start-up companies in a competition judged by field experts based on a concept’s potential for success. n Create a Penn State-branded platform to put intellectual property on display for investors and venture capitalists that includes a specific opportunity for alumni to invest in young companies. It’s been said that Barron is a “big picture” president, and he made that clear during his speech. “I look at this as developing a culture in economic development and helping the university move forward,” Barron said. As far as academics are concerned, Barron said
that it’s important to have a strong business program. He said that he wants to have and “entrepreneurs-in-residence” program at the university. “I call them ‘professors of practice.’ These are people who have been there, done that,” Barron explained. “They’ve taken ideas to the marketplace, they’ve done start-ups and they’ve run businesses. You bring them into your faculty and you begin to think about what the possibilities might be. If you have enough of them, you start to build a community.” According to Barron, State College must become a destination for those looking to launch businesses — not just for those wanting a business education. “Do they realize this is the place they can enjoy success? We want to help (students) realize this is a place where they can be successful,” Barron said. Barron also said that “sneak peeks” are vital to the success of the university. “Do we have fairs for our intellectual property so that people can begin to wander around and look at all the different things that this university has to offer? It’s a matter of putting them out there. Getting a habit going, getting a culture going that if you want to look at interesting intellectual property, you should be going to Penn State University,” Barron said. Barron also said that the university must better connect with the business community to build a better relationship and partnership in order to help the economy grow. “The notion of partnerships comes in many different forms,” Barron said. “We can build a path to great careers and great jobs. That’s what our objective should be.”

World Cup impacts local economy
Hugh Mose retires as CATA general manager

STATE COLLEGE — The U.S. soccer team’s exciting World Cup run came to an end on Tuesday afternoon with a 2-1 loss to Belgium. And, despite our national team being out of the tournament now, the World Cup may have a continued positive effect on area restaurants and businesses. “It’s impacted us greatly,” said manager Dan Stokes of Kildare’s Irish Pub on East College Avenue. Business can be slow this time of year, especially since students are on summer break, he said, but the World Cup has “definitely helped financially.” The restaurant might be having an average day, Stokes said, but will end up doing very well financially because of the matches bringing customers in. For the U.S. team’s game last week
Orton has played the sport since he was a youngster. He’s as passionate as they come. Seeing the World Cup get so big gives him a sense of pride, he said. “It’s been fantastic. There’s definitely a bandwagon effect, which is wonderful,” Orton said. Matt Vidic, president of the Centre Soccer Association, said that the World Cup games are definitely making an impact. “There was a buzz from the GhanaPortugal game,” Vidic explained. “We
STATE COLLEGE — When Hugh Mose joined the Centre Area Transportation Authority as general manager in 1995 he believed he would only stay in the post for five years at most. That was 19 years ago. Mose, 65, said he stayed in State College and continued to lead CATA for nearly two decades due to the strong board of directors overseeing the agency. “CATA has just a great board of directors and I give them a huge amount of credit for what we’ve been able to accomplish,” said Mose. Under the direction of the board, Mose said he was able HUGH MOSE to advance CATA as an agency in several ways. He says one of his greatest accomplishments was transitioning CATA to an all natural gas fuel system. CATA was one of the first transit agencies on the East Coast to operate a 100 percent compressed natural gas bus fleet. “It proved to be a very good decision because natural gas is now widely recognized as a very good fuel, which is lower in cost and domestically produced,” said Mose. Another accomplishment he says was creating a partnership with Penn State resulting in several programs, including fare-free campus service and discounted transit passes for full-time faculty and students. When Mose joined CATA in 1995, he said his goal was to partner with Penn State. In meetings he would tell university administrators, “We want to be your bus company.” At the time, Penn State was operating its own on-campus bus loop. “The fact that we were able to step up and do

Youth soccer leaders hope games will draw new players By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — Make no mistake about it, the World Cup is having an impact locally. Sure, there’s the financial impact. Whether it’s fans showing up in droves at bars to watch the games or hitting sporting goods stores to buy soccer apparel, local businesses are reaping the benefits of World Cup fever. Local youth soccer organizations are also feeling the effects. Danny Orton, president of Penn Opinion ............................. 7 Health & Wellness .......... 8, 9
United Soccer Academy, said that the World Cup has gotten younger players even more interested in the game. “It’s hard to say what kind of impact it’s going to have as far as numbers are concerned,” Orton said. “But these are good games and it adds some excitement to the sport. This is what we want, what we need. We want to grow the sport. This definitely helps.” Penn United is one of the fastestgrowing youth soccer organizations in the area. It features travel teams, rec squads, overnight camps, day camps and weekly skill sessions.

BELLEFONTE — David Adewumi, a former Penn State student from Lemont, pleaded guilty to making false reports that he was sexually assaulted by correctional officers. Adewumi had earlier claimed he was assaulted while incarcerated at the Centre County Correctional Facility. This is the latest in a string of incidents involving Adewumi, who was arrested after being charged with stalking a 17-year-old high school student in 2013. While an inmate at the Centre County Correctional Facility, Adewumi was further involved with “breaking the sprinkler head (in his cell), refusing to shower, lunging at a guard, covering a camera and attempting to assault a guard with fecal matter,” according to a news release from

the Centre County District Attorney’s office. As a result of those actions, authorities restrained Adewumi in a chair. Adewumi claimed the corrections officers then sexually assaulted him by grabbing his genitals. On Friday, Adewumi pleaded guilty after representing himself for half of his trial. District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller says the true focus of the case is the correctional officers. She characterizes Adewumi’s actions as trying to “take away their livelihood, their freedom and their good names, and for that he must take responsibility.” Centre County Judge Jonathan Grine sentenced Adewumi to one to four years in a state correctional institution. He still faces his original stalking charge. No court date has been set in that case.

Sandusky exploring options to get conviction overturned By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com
AP File Photo
FORMER PENN STATE assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky is pursuing a final option to have his conviction overturned.
STATE COLLEGE — Convicted pedophile Jerry Sandusky is pursuing one final legal option to overturn his conviction, according to his attorney. Defense attorney Al Lindsay, of Butler, recently notified Centre County court that he is representing Sandusky. Lindsay said in an email to StateCollege.com he will represent Sandusky with a post-conviction relief petition. The Post Conviction Relief Act in Pennsylvania allows convicted defendants to challenge their sentences based on an argument of poor legal representation. State College defense attorney Matt McClenahen, who is not affiliated with the case, says the option is available for wrongfully convicted defendants and is often utilized by defendants sentenced to life in prison or the death penalty as a final legal option. “It’s a remedy that you have if you’re a defendant and you’ve been convicted and you’ve exhausted all your appeal rights, or wish to forgo appeal rights. You can allege your attorney was ineffective in some way, preventing you from having a fair trial,”
said McClenahen. “The defendant can seek relief if they believe the action or the inaction of the attorney was so ineffective that no accurate determination of guilt or innocence would have been possible.” Issues a defendant might highlight could be an attorney failing to present or object to certain evidence or failing to file particular motions before or during trial, said McClenahen. McClenahen said the success rate for such a petition is small, as most defendants who pursue this path actually did receive fair representation and there was overwhelming evidence to support their convictions. Sandusky, a former Penn State football coach, is serving 30 to 60 years in state prison. In 2012, a jury found him guilty on 45 counts of sexually abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period. Some of the abuse occurred on Penn State’s campus. So far, Penn State has reached monetary settlements with 26 people claiming to be victims for a total of $59.7 million. After the trial, Jerry and Dottie Sandusky’s adopted son, Matt Sandusky, publicly claimed to be one of Sandusky’s victims.
During the trial, defense attorneys Joe Amendola, of State College, and Karl Rominger, of Carlisle, represented Sandusky. In April, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court declined to hear Sandusky’s case. Norris Gelman, Sandusky’s appeal attorney, had asked for a new trial, arguing it took Sandusky’s accusers too long to come forward. At a Superior Court appeals hearing, Gelman said many of Sandusky’s victims waited 16 years to say they were abused. Gelman also claimed the defense wasn’t given enough time to prepare its case. Additionally, Gelman argued the prosecutor’s closing argument at Sandusky’s criminal trial could have inappropriately influenced the jury when he pointed out that Sandusky didn’t take the stand. Criminal defendants are not required to testify at trial. In March, Sandusky’s wife, Dottie, gave interviews with national reporters in which she proclaimed her husband’s innocence, a move that outraged victim advocate groups across the country. Recently, Matt Sandusky started a nonprofit group to support survivors of child sexual abuse.
Commissioners approve funds for human services agencies By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com
BELLEFONTE — The Centre County Board of Commissioners approved a plan at its meeting Tuesday morning that will fund human services agencies throughout the county. The Human Services Block Grant Plan will fund the county’s offices of Adult Services, Children and Youth Services, Mental Health/Intellectual Disability/Early Intervention and Drug and Alcohol for the 2014-15 fiscal year. The Human Services Block Grant Plan allows for 50/50 flexible funding, according to Natalie Corman, director of adult ser-
vices for the county. If needed, funds from any service can be redistributed to another service. This provides the opportunity for the county to determine if money should be reallocated if a need arises, she said. “We can shift the money around and make sure that we’re able to help our residents,” Corman said. Last year, she said that some money was reallocated from mental health services to drug and alcohol services and from children and youth services to rental assistance. “This year, we were able to shift some money around in our current services and I think moving into … our third year, we’ll be able to see, on a more regular basis, if
there are opportunities to expand a service or start a new service.” The Office of Adult Services expects to receive $5,701,261 in funding from the state with a county match of $266,819 for the plan. Two public hearings where community members can learn more about the Human Services Block Grant Plan take place each year. This year’s meetings took place last month, but summaries will be put online when the 2014-15 plan is uploaded on the county government’s website. “One of the nice things about them is you have each individual department come up and explain what their role in a block grant is,” Centre County Commis-
sioner Steve Dershem said. This is beneficial for both community members and county workers, he said, because it provides the opportunity for people to learn about services they aren’t familiar with and how it all works together. Under the Human Services Block Grant Plan, the county can retain 3 percent of funds each year to put toward new service development and emerging trends the following year, according to Tim Boyde, director of administrative services. From the 2013-14 allocation, the county can hold back about $170,000 to put toward 2014-15 services, he said. Commissioners, Page 4

Court denies effort to move Spanier lawsuit forward By JENNIFER MILLER
the lawsuit moved to federal court, which has a one-year deadline. The court denied Freeh’s appeal Monday arguing the matter meets only two of three factors and therefore technically the decision is out of the court’s jurisdiction. The court only has jurisdiction over the matter if it meets all three criteria. While the issue raised by Freeh is separate from Spanier’s claims and is related to Freeh’s right to have the case transferred to federal court, the stay “does not cut off Freeh Sporkin’s federal right to remove this action to federal court.” Instead, if Freeh decides to request the case be transferred to federal court once the stay ends, the Superior Court argues the federal court will be able to waive the one-year time requirement. Specifically, the Superior Court says a federal court will consider waiving the one-year time requirement to have the case transferred as Freeh has several bad faith arguments against Spanier. The bad faith arguments include Spanier not filing a complaint outlining Freeh’s alleged offenses and Spanier filing a federal lawsuit against Pennsylvania Attorney
StateCollege.com
HARRISBURG — The Pennsylvania Superior Court has denied Louis Freeh’s effort to move forward the defamation lawsuit former Penn State President Graham Spanier filed against him. Freeh, a former FBI director, conducted an independent investigation into Penn State’s handling of former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky’s child sexual abuse. Freeh’s firm found that Spanier and other administrators allegedly covered up the abuse. Separately, authorities criminally charged Spanier and two other administrators for the alleged cover-up. Spanier argues allegations in the Freeh report are false and defamatory and he asked the court to delay the defamation lawsuit again the Freeh Sporkin & Sullivan firm until the criminal case is resolved. Centre County Common Pleas Judge Jonathan Grine sided with Spanier and issued an order to delay the case. Freeh appealed the delay to the Superior Court arguing in part a delay could potentially eliminate Freeh’s option to have
General Kathleen Kane to have the criminal charges dismissed, which overlaps with Spanier’s criminal proceedings. At the same time, the court noted the possible actions of bad faith were not under the court’s consideration. “We do not hold that Spanier is acting in bad faith by engaging in forum manipulation. That is a matter outside of our review, and a matter for the federal court to decide should Freeh Sporkin attempt to remove the case to federal court at a later date. We only hold that Freeh Sporkin have bad faith arguments to make in federal court should they choose to exercise their right of removal,” the court says. In his report, Freeh says Spanier and others, “repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky’s child abuse from the authorities, (PSU’s) Board of Trustees, the Penn State community and the public at large.” Spanier’s attorneys claim those allegations are both false and defamatory. They are asking for monetary damages. Spanier, former athletic director Tim Curley and retired senior vice president for finance Gary Schultz face several criminal

Good Seed Baking Co. holds grand opening By STEVEN PATRICK LYNCH correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — A new bakery, Good Seed Baking Co., opened its doors on June 27 to celebrate gluten-free baked goods at reasonable prices. “We knew that there was a lot of interest for gluten-free foods in Centre County,” said Louisa Smith, one of the bakery’s co-owners. Many State College natives expressed their happiness when they heard that there was a certified gluten-free bakery opening up on Fraser Street. “I’m excited. It is nice that they are making that option easily available, because there are not a lot of choices in State College that are 100 percent gluten-free,” said Kyra Rogan, who has tried to practice gluten-free diets in the past. Good Seed Baking Co. specializes in glutenfree baked goods such as muffins, breads and desserts. In addition to baked goods, the bakery also carries frozen and fresh pastas that are certified gluten-free. One of the bakery’s co-owners, Bob Ricketts, also owner of Pleasant Gap-based Fasta and Ravioli Company, strived to bring the hard work of small businesses together to serve the community with food choices for those who are gluten-free, have Celiac disease, or are
looking for healthful eating alternatives. Smith does not eat a gluten-free diet, but she finds that helpful because she can taste the products that she is trying to replicate in order to create delicious foods. In an effort to get their name out there, Good Seed Baking Co. had a soft opening on May 28 where they experimented with their trial menu. “It was more for us, to get the kinks worked out of things and figure things out. We wanted to make sure that everything was working correctly before we did all of the publicity for the grand opening,” said Smith. The company’s soft opening worked to their benefit. The staff members were able to see which products sold and which ones did not, and there were able to find ways to make the store run more smoothly. One of the top food items sold at Good Seed Baking Co. is the French macaroons, which were free to visitors on opening day. Smith said that her favorite item is the bread that they bake in the store. The company has big plans for the future, and is currently working out the kinks of the store and menu with hopes to expand its offerings to local restaurants and grocery stores. Good Seed Baking Co. is open Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

to move around 50 percent of funds, the county doesn’t have to worry about that anymore and is able to enhance developing programs. The commissioners also approved a contract with Mission Critical Partners for $9,824. This will provide assistance to the county in finding a new director of 911 services. According to Boyde, when the position was advertised the first time around, they didn’t receive the volume of qualified applicants they were hoping for. Due to the new digital 911 system that the county has been operating under for several weeks now, the county is looking for “cutting edge” applicants both from the county and nationwide.

Nittany Mall on the rebound By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com
Submitted photo
HUGH MOSE, shown here doing his best Ralph Kramden impersonation, recently retired from his post at CATA after spending 19 years there. Mose, from page 1 that opened up a lot of other doors that enabled us to expand our CATA bus program,” said Mose. Ultimately, Mose says he will miss most the people he interacted with on a daily basis, from politicians in Washington and Harrisburg to CATA customers to fellow employees. “One of the things that I have enjoyed about this line of work I have been doing for 37 years is I get to interact with people at all levels,” said Mose. “I spend my whole day interacting with people ... and that’s allowed me to be suc-
cessful and allowed CATA to be successful.” Replacing Mose will be Louwana Oliva, who has been serving as assistant general manager for the past four years. The board of directors appointed Oliva as Mose’s replacement in the spring. “I think CATA will be in very good hands. She has learned the community and the organization, learned how public transportation in the Centre Region all fits together, and I’m optimistic she will be able to keep the good ship CATA steaming in the right direction and achieving even more accomplishments than I’ve been able to,” Mose said.
STATE COLLEGE — The Nittany Mall appears to be rebounding after several stores opted to leave during the last several months. Recently, a women’s boutique opened in the mall and a large fitness center will be opening soon. StateCollege.com reported in January that several stores exited the mall, many opting for locations in plazas on North Atherton Street. Currently, there are 16 empty storefronts in the mall. However, Nittany Mall general manager Lou Kanzleiter said the situation has been rapidly changing. “Our leasing department continues to actively work to fill the vacancies,” he said. That includes the opening of Francesca’s, a women’s fashion boutique, near the Bon-Ton anchor store. The 1,000-squarefoot shop features clothing, shoes, purses, scarves, hats and jewelry. Francesca’s is a privately held company with more than 350 boutiques in 45 states. Additionally, Planet Fitness is expected to open in the fall, filling the space of five storefronts near Sears for a total of 18,000 square feet. Planet Fitness is a growing gym franchise that markets affordable membership rates. It has locations across the country, including facilities in Altoona, Harrisburg and Williamsport. As part of that project, the Verizon store will be relocated to another space in the
mall and the Payless shoe store, which temporarily closed, will reopen at a different location within the mall, said Kanzleiter. Additionally, Kanzleiter says a new store will fill the former CVS Pharmacy location. However, he cannot yet release details on the company that is expected to move in. Over the course of the past year or so, several stores have left the mall, which is a Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust Property. The list of departing businesses includes Gardners Candies, Kranich’s Jewelers, Gap and Gap Kids, Aeropostale, Kitchen Collection and CVS. The changes were so noticeable, some folks in the community speculated the mall would close its doors altogether. Kanzleiter says the rumor is false and the store closures are part of the “natural cycle” of shopping malls. Larger anchor department stores do not pay rent for the space they occupy, as they are expected to draw in shoppers. The smaller stores lease their space at the mall and subsequently enjoy the benefits of foot traffic the anchor stores create. Hari Sridhar, an assistant professor of marketing at Penn State, says stores leave a mall for different reasons. Sometimes, spill-over traffic from anchor stores does not meet expectations and, in turn, paying rent becomes unproductive. Or, business owners may feel their store is now established and that it can draw its own crowd at its own location.

U-10 players there to watch. It’s important for them to see it. They’re getting engaged early,” Cole said. “They didn’t watch the entire game; it’s hard to get kids to watch anything for 90 minutes. But they got to see some really good soccer. It was a great experience.” Younger players are more interested in the game than ever before. Penn State men’s soccer coach Bob Warming credits social media. Facebook and Twitter, he said, are impacting the game more than ever before. “Social media has been important. We’re now just barely behind the NFL … from the ages of 12 to 22, (soccer) is the second most popular sport in the country. That was before the World Cup. That demographic get their information from Twitter and other forms of social media. It’s just blown up,” Warming said. Warming pointed out that the games are easier to watch than ever before. After traveling around the globe for several World Cups, he decided to sit this one out. Like Cole, Warming agreed that the television coverage is better than ever. “HD really changed things,” Warming explained. “Our sport was not really good to watch on a traditional television. The distances are too great. Instead of going to the World Cup with a lot of my buddies this year, I bought a Sony 4K TV. The clarity is beyond belief.” Warming believes the extensive television coverage will impact registration numbers come fall. More people watching equals more children on the soccer field, he said. “You’ve got 35-year-olds watching. They’ve got young children,” Warming said. “You can’t really begin to imagine the impact that’s going to have. They’re going to put their 5-, 6-, 7- and 8-year-olds in youth soccer. It’s remarkable.”

SOCCER FANS at Kildare’s Irish Pub watch the United States take on Belgium in the World Cup Tuesday afternoon. Economy, from page 1 said that the restaurant and bar already had quite a following of soccer fans going into this year’s World Cup. “This is our third World Cup broadcast since June 2005,” he said. This is the first time since then, however, that the United States has been close to the same time zone as the tournament host, which makes showing the games easier. As the tournament has progressed, James said that it has only gotten more intense, especially now that it’s into the knockout rounds. “It will only get better,” he said. Games besides those that the U.S. team participated in have also been well attended at Pickle’s. “We get great turnouts,” James said. At Damon’s Grill, located on East Col-
lege Avenue, owner Scott Reimer said that World Cup reception has been “awesome,” with sales up 200 percent more than usual. “We’ve had a packed house all three (U.S.) games. That’s about 500 people,” he said. While the U.S. team’s games have been the most popular, Reimer noted that he has seen a variety of national jerseys there. “It’s a sport that 20 years ago was not as popular. Now there’s much more involvement,” he said. The World Cup has also brought in customers to local sports stores, like Rapid Transit Sports. “We do get some people coming in and asking for certain things,” said manager Terry Stark. The specialty sports store has been discounting World Cup T-shirts and hats during the tournament.

had a camp running … we didn’t do anything special to promote it and we had a dozen or so late sign-ups, which was kind of significant.” Centre Soccer’s spring season ended just a few weeks ago, so Vidic doesn’t know what kind of registration numbers CSA will have come fall. He said that he expects numbers to rise, thanks in part to the World Cup. “The World Cup is the highest level for the sport. It’s hard to think of another sport that has such a global impact. These games impact everyone. You’re talking about teams from Centre Soccer to the local Mountain District to PA West to U.S. Youth Soccer to U.S. Soccer all the way up to FIFA. It’s like a gigantic network. The World Cup definitely helps our numbers,” Vidic said. This year’s World Cup games are more accessible than ever before. ESPN is carrying multiple games and highlight packages air around the clock on SportsCenter. According to Lisa Cole, the technical director for the Centre Soccer Association, having the games available on television, laptops, tablets and smartphones has made it easier than ever before to see the games. “For a long time, I felt like the powers that be in television kept (soccer) out,” Cole said. “I can remember having to get up early and paying just to watch soccer. That’s not the case anymore. It’s out there, it’s available to everyone and that’s great for our younger players.” For the United States-Germany contest last week, CSA organized a “watch party” at Damon’s Grill in State College. More than 300 people turned out to watch. Youth players from one of CSA’s summer camps came to watch as well. “We had some very young players, some

Women’s rights get short shrift By the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Never mind the adage about fools rushing in where angels fear to tread. The U.S. Supreme Court defers to those who invoke religious belief, even if their personhood resides in a for-profit corporation. In another 5-4 decision dividing the court’s conservatives and liberals, the justices Monday took a radical step that disturbs the fine balance between an individual’s right to the free exercise of religion and the rights of other Americans. Yet in his majority opinion, Associate Justice Samuel Alito downplayed the significance of what the court was recklessly doing. He wrote “ ... our holding is very specific. We do not hold, as the principal dissent alleges, that for-profit corporations and other commercial enterprises can ‘opt out of any law (saving only tax laws) they judge incompatible with their sincerely held religious beliefs.’ “ Americans should hope this is true but there is reason for skepticism. At every turn, Justice Alito and his confederates gave the benefit of a doubt to those who challenged requirements of the Affordable Care Act for some types of contraception coverage. If this is an indication of the future, the case of Sylvia Burwell, secretary of Health and Human Services, v. Hobby Lobby Stores Inc. and Conestoga Wood Specialities Corp., could loom as large as the notorious Citizens United case in its capacity for mischief. Just as in Citizens United, the question of whether a corporation can be considered a person loomed large. The closely held corporations successfully argued that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act gave them a pass on providing contraception as part of their employees’ health insurance plans. It didn’t matter they were set up as for-profit corporations. They were a person under the act and capable of the free exercise of religion, Justice Alito said. Not so, said Associate Justice Ginsburg, the author of the principal dissent, rebutting the court’s decision as one of “startling breadth.” Putting her finger on the collateral damage, she decried the impact on “in these cases, thousands of women employed by Hobby Lobby and Conestoga ...” And that may be just for starters. This is a troubling decision. It is as if the Supreme Court were hell-bent on defending religion and never mind the cost to those who don’t share the boss’s beliefs.

Weighing in on Supreme Court ruling The U.S. Supreme Court ruled recently that the Environmental Protection Agency may use the Clean Air Act to regulate major sources of greenhouse gases, such as factories and power plants. The agency wants to cut carbon emissions by 30 percent over the next 15 years. But the court added, in a complex opinion written by Justice Antonin Scalia, that the EPA’s power is not unlimited. “It bears mention that EPA is getting almost everything it wanted in this case,” Scalia said. “It sought to regulate sources that it said were responsible for 86 percent of all the greenhouse gases emitted from stationary sources nationwide. Under our holdings, EPA will be able to regulate sources responsible for 83 percent of those emissions.” Is the ruling a victory for the environment? Or does the court’s decision clear the way for more government overreach? Ben Boychuk and Joel Mathis, the Red-Blue America columnists, weigh in.
BEN BOYCHUK
Understand what the U.S. Supreme Court said last week: it proclaimed, on the one hand, that a powerful federal agency may not rewrite federal law to achieve a particular policy goal; and, on the other hand, the justices allowed the same powerful federal agency to still impose sweeping rules in order to reach that same goal. The complex 5-4 decision is filled with partial concurrences and partial dissents, but Justice Scalia couldn’t have been more clear: Instead of getting to regulate 86 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, the EPA may only regulate 83 percent. Some limit! “To permit the extra 3 percent ... we would have to recognize a power in EPA and other government agencies to revise clear statutory terms,” Scalia said. To do so, he added, would contradict “the principle that Congress, not the president, makes the law.” With all due respect to Justice Scalia, that’s hardly reassuring. Congress has long deferred its lawmaking power to administrative agencies — like the EPA — with disastrous consequences. The good news is the federal government won’t necessarily be able to regulate carbon emissions from retail stores, fast-food restaurants, apartment buildings, schools or churches. The bad news is, the federal government remains bent on controlling carbon dioxide output from factories and — crucially — coal-fired power plants. If the Obama administration has its way, Americans would pay nearly $290 billion more for electricity between 2014 and 2030. The feds would weaken the nation’s power grid and undermine the economy in pursuit of a folly — namely, “taking the lead” against “global climate change.” Meantime, as the Sydney Morning Herald reported earlier this month, “the amount of the U.S. cuts would be replaced more than three times over by projected increases in China alone.”
The EPA’s goals have little to do with environmental protection. Averting a “climate disaster” is secondary to asserting control over an ever-larger slice of the private economy. But that reality won’t hit home until lower- and middleincome families see their utility bills double and triple. Then the Supreme Court’s “limited” ruling will prove to be cold comfort to millions of literally powerless Americans.

Well, thank goodness for the Supreme Court. Those aren’t words that liberals get to utter very often, but they’ve occurred just often enough in recent years to suggest that not all hope is lost, even though conservatives hold a 5-4 majority on the court. Three rulings — affirming the legality of Obamacare, striking down the Defense of Marriage Act, and now largely upholding the powers of the Environmental Protection Agency — have enabled the liberal agenda to proceed during the Obama years despite the obstruct-at-all-costs opposition of the tea party and its allies. Which is all very well and good. The question is whether those results will help create a better, safer country than the one that currently exists. The answer: Probably. Despite the hysterical (and often dishonest) work of many on the right, there’s not significant doubt among scientists about whether A) climate change is real or B) whether it’s substantially created by human action. What doubt exists mostly exists in the public’s mind — and mostly among Republicans — but that doubt has been large enough to prevent American officials from doing anything about it. Which gave this country the appearance of fiddling even as the planet burned down around it. A better, more fact-based course of action would’ve been to acknowledge the existence of climate change — which is happening whether or not it is acknowledged — and debate the best solutions to it. Conservatives chose to obstruct, obstruct, obstruct. So President Obama and the environmentalists did the only sane thing: Used what power was lying around, waiting to be used, in order to force some large-scale changes that will mitigate this country’s contribution to climate change. They now have the Supreme Court’s seal of approval. The solutions the EPA imposes will not be the same solutions that Republicans might’ve agreed to. That’s too bad, because Republican preferences for market-based solutions might’ve helped lighten the burden of whatever regulations are coming. The EPA can help mitigate climate change; it would be nice if it had a “loyal opposition” partner in the GOP. Reach Ben Boychuk at bboychuk@city-journal.org, Joel Mathis at joelmmathis@gmail.com.
Shortage of functioning brain cells in D.C. By Dan K. Thomasson McClatchy-Tribune News Service
WASHINGTON — Here’s the situation as it now stands in this capital of the Western world, if it still is. The president has had his knuckles rapped by the Supreme Court, which unanimously ruled that he couldn’t get away with making recess appointments when the Senate was still in session, which it technically was when he made some to the National Labor Relations Board. It wasn’t a good week for the chief executive seeing that unanimity on the Supreme Court is probably rarer than it is in Congress. It’s kind of like being hit in the head by a gavel wielded by the chief justice who then passes it to the other justices for their turn. At the same time, the speaker of the House, John Boehner of Ohio, is suing Barack Obama on grounds he has overstepped his authority by failing to make sure the laws are faithfully executed. Never mind that the cement-rooted majority has left a vacuum for Obama to fill. Boehner’s action pretty much seals the fate of most of the president’s agenda perhaps for the next three years even though the likelihood of any court action in that period of time is remote. Why is that? Well, because it clearly reinforces the hard line to do nothing for this chief executive that Republicans have followed almost since Obama took office. Add that to the fact the GOP hard noses are not only waiting for what they believe will be a solid victory in the coming congressional elections, they are also determined not to budge until after the 2016 presidential balloting. Meantime, Boehner is vying with Democrat Nancy Pelosi, his predecessor, as the most ineffectual speaker in recent memory, outdoing even Texas Jim Wright and Newt Gingrich, both of whom left the office not only in disarray but in some disgrace. What a mess, huh? It is problematic that anything less than an all-out military or terrorist attack on this country would bring about any sort of unity in a government being run by intellectual midgets. If his complexion is any indication, Boehner seems to be spending more time in the tanning salon or on the golf course than he is running the House. Can you imagine a guy of this stature as second after the vice president in the line of succession for the presidency? Heavens to Betsy, Murgatroy. It would be difficult for him to run a two-car funeral let alone the world’s largest economy with all its attendant problems including a divided Congress.
And what is the president doing? What he does best, I guess, running around trying to take the pulse of the nation — apparently one person at a time considering the picture of him in a restaurant booth listening intently to the woes of a comely young lady. What’s wrong, pal, is among other things all that jawboning you do outside the Beltway rather than where it really counts on Capitol Hill. While some hanging out with the voters is good, in the current atmosphere playing the inside game is about the only chance for success. But in that regard, Lyndon Johnson you ain’t. With apologies for the sports metaphor, it’s time to be Doc Blanchard, Mr. Inside, and not so much Glenn Davis, Mr. Outside, the Army team’s magnificent tandem of another era. There are holes to run through if Obama and his team knew how, but six years of not being able to seems to point up the fact that the president isn’t really comfortable in the head knocking business of politics. So gridlock seems to be the rule of the day even when it’s in everyone’s interests to compromise here and there. “Compromise?” There will be no use of dirty words in the sanctified halls of democracy. I have come to believe the worst day in American history may have been when those patriots dressed up like Indians dumped that tea in Boston Harbor. The act gave symbolic inspiration nearly 240 years later to those who would toss overboard most of the solutions necessary to meet the needs of the 21st century. If this sounds like a rant, it pretty much is. Feels good once in a while, particularly when you’re locked in the national insane asylum. Reach Dan Thomasson at thomassondan@aol.com.

Why kids should avoid a caffeine high HERSHEY — If you think you’re seeing more kids chugging energy drinks and sipping Starbucks than ever before, you’re probably right. While there is no hard data to support the whole “coffee will stunt your growth” line that grownups have been using for years, there is concern about what the effects might be of this increased caffeine consumption among young people. Dr. Fauzia Mahr, associate professor of psychiatry and pediatrics at Penn State Hershey, says children ages 12 to 17 are the fastest-growing consumers of caffeinated products. Three of four children that age consume caffeine in some form on a daily basis. “As a society, we follow marketing and trends, and many of these companies do tend to target the younger consumers,” Mahr said. Plus, the drinks offer a quick pick-me-up welcomed by a generation used to immediate gratification. Preferred sources of caffeine vary according to gender. Ads for energy drinks play to teen boys’ desire to perform well in school and sports. Girls, on the other hand, lean toward tea because of its antioxidant and diuretic effects. “Some girls may be preoccupied with wanting to lose weight,” Mahr said. Diet pills can also be a significant source of caffeine. Mahr suggests young people also may simply be mimicking what they see the adults around them doing and taking advantage of greater access to a larger variety of caffeinated products in different forms and flavors. “It almost makes it seem OK,” she said. It could be a sign of the times that just
last year, the American Psychiatric Association updated its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Psychological Disorders to include caffeine withdrawal as a new category of mental health disorder. Adults who consume 250 mg or more of caffeine daily — the equivalent of two to three cups of regular coffee — can experience caffeine intoxication, in addition to caffeine-induced anxiety or sleep problems, restlessness, a flushing of the face, muscle twitches, insomnia, rambling speech, heart palpitations or behavioral issues, such as difficulty sitting still or focusing on a task. While few studies have examined the long-term effects of caffeine, the American Academy of Pediatrics advises that children who have not gone through puberty stay away from caffeine altogether. If they do consume caffeine, it should not be more than 100 mg per day. “The risks are typically higher in children because their brains are still developing,” Mahr said. “There is not a lot known about brain development and neurocircuitry, or how the introduction of a substance (such as caffeine) may affect it.” There is also concern about studies that show those who consume more caffeine tend to eat fewer fruits, vegetables and dairy products and gravitate toward unhealthy foods. Many of the drinks that contain caffeine also include high quantities of sugar. Together, the two can create more sensitivity to the rewarding effects of each. But just as not all adults who drink alcohol become alcoholics, not everyone who consumes caffeine will have the same level

ACCORDING TO recent studies, children should avoid caffeine-laden drinks such as coffee and energy drinks. of sensitivity to it. For example, studies have found that young boys are more sensitive than girls to the effects of caffeine consumption. Young boys also tend to experience a greater decrease in heart rate than girls do when consuming such drinks. Mahr suggests adults pay attention not only to how much caffeine the young people around them are consuming, but the
behaviors they are modeling for them as well. “It’s important to talk about how there needs to be a balance in nutrition, whether we are talking about caffeine or something else we are ingesting,” she said. “You want to find out why the child is using it in the first place. Then you can have a discussion about it and educate them.”
‘Bundled’ approach to care produces better results PLAINSBORO, N.J. — A study published recently in The American Journal of Managed Care found that an all-ornone or “bundled” approach to primary care, deployed by Geisinger Health System for patients with diabetes, produced better health outcomes, and that the benefits happened quickly. More so than most chronic conditions, diabetes offers a window into the nation’s general health. That’s because persons who develop type 2 diabetes typically have multiple health issues at once, and many of them are tied to lifestyle. Treating this disease, then, requires health care providers to look at the big picture, not just tackle individual symptoms. That means tracking what actually happens to patients, and not just recording their weight or glycated hemoglobin. That’s what Geisinger did when it created an “all-or-none” bundled measure for providing care to these patients. “By doing this bundled management and improving this reliable diabetes system of care, we improved pa-

tients’ outcomes — not just their numbers, but their health outcomes — in three years,” said Dr. Thomas Graf, chief medical officer for population health at Geisinger Health System and an author of the study. The study measured hazard ratios for 4,095 patients enrolled in the Diabetes System of Care compared with 4,095 patients not enrolled in the program. Adjusted HRs for myocardial infarction (0.77), stroke (0.79) and retinopathy (0.81) were all significantly lower among patients in the diabetes care group. The study found that most of the risk reduction occurred during the first year, which suggests that efforts to change health care delivery to improve quality can work quickly. How Geisinger achieved these results is as important as what was achieved. “We did not add extra staff. We just redesigned the roles and responsibilities within the primary care office to have the staff work more together as a team to help the patients accomplish their goals,” Graf said. “In this team-based model, the physician is still in charge as
the quarterback of the team, but this system uses other team members to perform other tasks so the physician can focus on making complex medical decisions and motivate the patients to meet their goals.” Change, however, is not easy, as the authors note. They report that creating system-wide change requires constant evaluation, and improvements must be scalable across a variety of practice settings. Accountability is key, according to their findings. Payment must be prompt to ensure ongoing progress and buy-in. “This study is important because if a health system or health plan is going to invest in this system, they want to know the benefits of those investments,” Graf said. The Geisinger results are important in light of soaring incidence rates of type 2 diabetes, which the study notes skyrocketed 40 percent between 2007 and 2010. According to the American Diabetes Association, 26 million Americans have the disease, with most of them suffering from type 2.

Virus kills breast cancer and tumor cells in mice
HERSHEY — A virus not known to cause disease kills triple-negative breast cancer cells and killed tumors grown from these cells in mice, according to Penn State College of Medicine researchers. Understanding how the virus kills cancer may lead to new treatments for breast cancer. Adeno-associated virus type 2, or AAV2, infects humans but is not known to cause sickness. In prior studies, the researchers tested the virus on a variety of breast cancers that represent degrees of aggressiveness and on human papillomavirus-positive cervical cancer cells. The virus initiated apoptosis — natural cell death — in cancer cells without affecting healthy cells. “Treatment of breast cancer remains difficult because there are multiple signaling pathways that promote tumor growth and develop resistance to treatment,” said Dr. Craig Meyers, Distinguished Professor of Microbiology and Immunology. Signaling pathways involve molecules
in a cell that control cell functions — like cell division — by cooperation. For example, the first molecule in the process receives a signal to begin. It then tells another molecule to work, and so on. Treatment of breast cancer differs by patient due to differences in tumors. Some tumors contain protein receptors that are activated by the hormones estrogen or progesterone. Others respond to another protein called human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, or HER2. Each of these is treated differently. A triple-negative breast cancer does not have any of these protein receptors and is typically aggressive. “There is an urgent and ongoing need for the development of novel therapies which efficiently target triple-negative breast cancers,” Meyers said. In the current study, the researchers tested AAV2 on a cell-line representative of triple-negative breast cancer. The researchers report their results in Cancer Bi-
Holy Spirit Health to become a Geisinger affiliate DANVILLE — Geisinger Health System and Holy Spirit Health System, located in Camp Hill, recently came to an agreement for Holy Spirit to be an affiliate of Geisinger Health System. “This is an important step forward for Geisinger and Holy Spirit to enhance care in south central Pennsylvania,” said Dr. Glenn Steele Jr., Geisinger Health System president and chief executive officer. “Holy Spirit has a 50-year history of providing high-quality, compassionate care, and we are pleased to affiliate with an organization that shares our commitment to value and doing what is right for patients and the community.” “This affiliation with Geisinger will enable us to build upon our efforts to deliver innovative and collaborative medical services to the community, as well as to main-
tain our mission-driven Catholic identity,” said Sister Romaine Niemeyer, Holy Spirit Health System president and chief executive officer. “We will continue to benefit from the expertise of our local board of directors and the sponsorship of the Sisters of Christian Charity, as well as Geisinger’s nationally recognized accomplishments.” Representatives from each organization will sit on the Geisinger Health System Foundation and Holy Spirit Health System boards of directors. “As the health care delivery system in the United States moves toward a valuebased model, we look forward to working together to implement evidence-based medicine programs, enhance capabilities, facilities and clinical services, and improve population health in the Harrisburg community,” said Steele.
ology & Therapy. The AAV2 killed 100 percent of the cells in the laboratory by activating proteins called caspases, which are essential for the cell’s natural death. In addition, consistent with past studies, AAV2-infected cancer cells produced more Ki-67, an immunity system activating protein and c-Myc, a protein that helps both to increase cell growth and induce apoptosis. The cancer cell growth slowed by day 17 and all cells were dead by day 21. AAV2 mediated cell killing of multiple breast cancer cell lines representing both low and high grades of cancer and targeted the cancer cells independent of hormone or growth factor classification. The researchers then injected AAV2 into human breast cancer cell line-derived tumors in mice without functioning immune systems. Mice that received AAV2 outlived the untreated mice and did not show signs

of being sick, unlike the untreated mice. Tumor sizes decreased in the treated mice, areas of cell death were visible, and all AAV2 treated mice survived through the study, a direct contrast to the untreated mice. “These results are significant, since tumor necrosis — or death — in response to therapy is also used as the measure of an effective chemotherapeutic,” Meyers said. Future studies should look at the use of AAV2 body-wide in mice, which would better model what happens in humans.

Centre Hall yard sale event draws large crowds My hometown of Centre Hall is best known for the Grange Fair, held in August of each year for the past 140 years. This event packs the town with thousands of people. But running a close second for packing the town with people is the Town-Wide Yard Sale Days event held each year on the last full weekend in June. This year’s event was held on June 27 and 28.
SAM STITZER
THE TRADITION
The exact date of the first Yard Sale Days event seems to be lost in obscurity. According to Centre Sam Stitzer covers Hall historian LeDon Penns Valley for Young, “sometime the Centre County in the 1980s” several Gazette. Email him local business ownat pennsvalley@ ers formed the Centre centrecounty Hall Business Owners gazette.com. Association, and came up with the idea of having town-wide yard sales. “They were in charge back then, but now nobody’s in charge — it just happens,” said borough councilman Joe Hammaker. The sales have become family traditions for many in Centre Hall. My own family held a sale at my mother’s house on Pennsylvania Avenue since the beginning. Mom, my sister and I, and our kids would gather there every year. Mom always served up a batch of barbecue, hot dogs and her homemade pickles, and we would all sell some items, eat, go to other sales and then eat some more throughout the two-day event. After Mom passed away in 2005, the family sale moved
to my sister’s house, then to my house, where it continues today. It’s a fun time for us to gather, see many old friends and neighbors, and to make a few bucks. This scenario is repeated at sales held throughout the town.
THE PREPARATION
As early as Sunday evening the week before the event, canopies and tables are seen going up around the town. By Wednesday, porches and garages are being filled with merchandise to be sold. On Thursday, the whole town is setting up sales in front yards, driveways and garages. By midday, many early-bird shoppers begin appearing, scanning the sales for bargains before the big crowds arrive. One woman said her friend from the Harrisburg area came up a day early this year. “He was tired of people telling him ‘I sold it yesterday,’” she said. Along with yard sales, many food vendors set up concession trailers all over town to satisfy the hunger and thirst of the thousands of shoppers. Typical fare includes hot dogs and burgers, hot sausage sandwiches, ice cream and many gallons of cold water, soda and lemonade. Several local churches set up food stands as fundraisers for church activities, outreach and mission projects.
FRIDAY, THE FIRST DAY
Often, the first to arrive early on Friday mornings are the local Amish. Showing up in horse-drawn buggies or vans driven by local “English,” the Amish come looking for bargains, and Centre Hall has them by the hundreds. The official start time for the sales was set long ago at 9 a.m., but throngs of shoppers begin arriving closer to 7 a.m., trying to beat the heat and the crowds. By mid-morning, traffic on Pennsylvania Avenue becomes bumper to bumper, and the sidewalks are jammed with wandering shoppers. Narrow residential side
SAM STITZER/For the Gazette
SHOPPERS FILLED the sidewalks in Centre Hall for the recent Town-Wide Yard Sale Days event. streets resemble parking lots, as shoppers descend on more than 100 yard sales, located at almost every house along the way.
SATURDAY, THE LAST DAY
Saturday’s crowds are typically smaller than those seen on Friday, but by midmorning there is still brisk traffic on every street. By early afternoon, the crowds usually taper off, and by late afternoon, some sellers begin closing up shop.
THE AFTERMATH
By late afternoon on Saturday, it’s over. Sunburned and exhausted, Centre Hall citizens begin tearing down canopies and folding up tables. Piles of unsold items
with signs marked “free” appear on the edges of the streets. This also attracts a crowd of folks looking for the ultimate bargain — items at no cost. Vehicles are seen cruising the streets until dark, and most of the free items disappear. Young said her late father, J. D. Young, once referred to the Town-Wide Yard Sale Days as “The Great Centre Hall Junk Exchange.” He may have had a point, but it’s actually a lot more than that. It’s a wonderful mixture of family gatherings, community pride and spirit, and just a lot of fun for folks in the little town of Centre Hall. We hope, as Hammaker said, “it just happens” for years to come.
Dustbowl Revival wows audience at Elk Creek By SAM STITZER
pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
MILLHEIM — Dustbowl Revival, a band based out of Venice, Calif., played to an enthusiastic full-house crowd at the Elk Creek Café & Ale Works in Millheim on June 22. This eight-piece ensemble of West Coast musicians began as a fairly typical folk genre string band in 2008, and has grown and evolved into a mash-up of string band and jazz band with a sound that’s hard to classify. With elements of jazz, soul, bluegrass, swing and blues, as well as a hefty sprinkling of Mariachi brass styles (with trumpet and trombone), the DBR sound is truly unique. The Millheim crowd was very receptive to all these blended music genres, as the band performed two sets. Audience members of all ages cheered and clapped along with the band’s eclectic sets of songs. Band leader and guitarist Zach Lupetin moved from Michigan to Los Angeles in 2007, and wanted to form his own band to perform in West Coast venues. “I put up a Craigslist ad looking for like-minded lunatics in
the L.A. area,” quipped Lupetin. “There’s a very blossoming jazz community in Los Angeles, and the idea is to create old-time music for a new audience.” The band members write much of the music they perform, and play without written music in front of them. “This is improvisational type music where everyone is responding to each other and making the song different every night in their own way,” said Lupetin. Dustbowl Revival is currently touring the eastern U.S., and has performed on tours in the northwest, southeast and midwestern regions. “We tour whenever the opportunity arises,” said Lupetin. The band has attracted a national following, with some of its music being used on movies and television shows. They have put out several albums, and have just recently recorded a new album to be released later this year. L.A. Weekly Magazine awarded Dustbowl Revival its Best Live Band award in 2013, saying: “In a city like Los Angeles, home to musical stars in nearly every known genre, handing out the Best Live Band title is not easy.

Pasto Agricultural Museum to hold silent auction CONNIE COUSINS
Connie Cousins covers a wide variety of events in Centre County for the Centre County Gazette. Email her at ccous67@gmail. com.
PENNSYLVANIA FURNACE — The Pasto Museum will hold its silent auction again this year during 2014 Ag Progress Days on Tuesday, Aug. 12, and Wednesday, Aug.13. The Pasto Agricultural Museum of the Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences exists to connect the history of agricultural science and technology to today’s life. The museum’s staff and volunteers will use the money raised from the silent auction to complete exhibits that feature the dairy and poultry collections. Demonstrations are always a part of the Ag Progress Days and this year’s construction project promises to be interesting and educational. A timber frame structure, handcrafted with traditional tools, will be erected right in front of visitors. It will be a part of the auction, and small size pegs will allow it to be disassembled for transportion to, and reas-
sembly on, the winning bidder’s site. The Pasto Museum Silent Auction Committee promises that any organization or individual who donates items by the deadline will receive public recognition. Donors will be listed on the Pasto’s website and also on a large sign placed at the auction site, where thousands of people will see it. According to Rita Graef, curator of the museum, those interested in donating items for the auction must use a donation form, which can be found on the museum’s website. Items for the auction must be delivered to the museum on Monday, Aug. 11, prior to Ag Progress Days, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. The Silent Auction Committee hopes to raise $6,000. They ask for the public’s help to add that one special find that will catch everyone’s attention. One nice feature is a cash-and-carry section that will allow Tuesday’s attendees to purchase items without returning on Wednesday. Successful bidders can pick up their items from 4 to 8 p.m. after payments are processed. The Pasto Agricultural Museum is located three miles west of Pine Grove Mills along Route 45. Its offices are located at 137 Ag Administration Building, University Park. For more information, call (814) 863-1383.

Officials urge safety when using fireworks By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — For many State College residents, the Fourth of July is a day spent barbecuing with family and friends followed by a night of watching the fireworks display. While most do this without incident, there have been holiday-related accidents in the past, causing emergency medical technicians and police officers to urge safety at this time of year. “Victims can be injured in a number of ways, including but not limited to, holding fireworks in their hands, lighting fireworks improperly, playing with used fireworks, igniting fireworks too closely to someone, setting fireworks improperly, playing with lit fireworks and from malfunctioning fireworks,” said Mount Nittany Health communications coordinator Erin Welsh. Mount Nittany Medical Center does not have official statistics for the fireworkrelated injuries treated there. Rich Kelley, clinical supervisor for emergency medical services at Mount Nittany, estimates his department handles “a handful” of incidents each year. Thus far, there haven’t been any accidents this summer, which is the season when most fire-related accidents occur. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, there were approximately 8,700 fireworks-related in-
juries treated in hospital emergency departments across the country in 2012. This number is fairly consistent with the estimated number of injuries from previous years, Welsh said. Of those thousands of hospital visits each year, nearly half involve children. Kelley believes that to be the case at Mount Nittany, too. “A lot of kids use sparklers this time of year because parents think they’re harmless,” Kelley said. “But sparklers heat up to 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. Glass melts at 900 degrees, to give you an idea of how dangerous these can be for kids.” Hand and finger injuries are the most common, and the most frequent types of injuries are burns. Injuries are a result of both legal and illegal fireworks. Kelley says when a burn occurs, it’s important to first remove the injured person from the source of the fire. The burn should be cooled with water but if it starts blistering, you need to seek medical attention. To avoid injury, State College Police Capt. Matthew Wilson advises making sure the type of fireworks you have are legal. Under state law, ground and hand-held sparkling devices, novelties and toy caps are allowed. These “non-fireworks” are the only types allowed to be sold from tents, stands, convenience stores and retail establishments. Kelley offers the following tips for those
EXPERTS URGE those using fireworks at home to exercise extreme caution.
Gazette file photo
who do decide to use fireworks: n Buy fireworks from a reputable dealer. n Light the individual fireworks one at a time. n Fireworks should be handled by adults or at the very least with adult supervision. n Light the firework on a flat surface, preferably concrete or asphalt. n If a firework doesn’t ignite, give it 15-20 minutes before discarding it in case it is still active. n If you do receive an injury, seek medical treatment immediately.
Wilson says when it comes to fireworks, one of the biggest issues police see is carelessness. Some people like to drink alcohol while lighting fireworks, which leads to accidents. “They obviously are dangerous if not handled properly because they include fire and explosions,” Wilson said. “They can cause severe injuries and burns. They’re not something to be taken lightly, which often happens.” The best advice these experts can give? Go see the professional display at 4thFest this year instead.
Charity bike race draws riders from across the state By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — The dedication and altruism of bicycle riders from all over Pennsylvania has been one of the Centre Volunteers in Medicine’s most effective tools in providing free medical and dental care to the uninsured. Sue Forrester, communications and special events coordinator with the CVIM, said the turnout of about 160 riders for the sixth annual Cycling for Care event on Saturday was “really great,” though it pales in comparison to the high number of uninsured and under-insured individuals in Centre County. “The last census had 33,000 people in this area without dental insurance, and 12,000 without health insurance,” Forrester said. The CVIM helps combat this overlooked epidemic through a donor-supported free clinic that offers medical and dental care to the uninsured and underinsured of Centre County. With a goal to raise $33,000 through registration fees and business sponsorships, Forrester said events like last week’s are indispensable for providing these services. Bikers ranging from children to senior citizens congre-

across the state for many different causes, Moyer made the two-hour drive to Centre County to ride through Happy Valley’s rolling hills. “I grew up on a BMX bike and just never got off,” Moyer said, explaining his passion for charity races. “Even though this race isn’t local to me, it’s still important for this community.” Kyle Burnside also traveled for Saturday’s race, driving from DuBois after learning about the event the night before. Burnside says it was his first time riding in a group, something he’s been looking forward to. “I only got into biking somewhat recently, and it’s helped me make a huge body transformation,” Burnside said, having lost weight and gained confidence over the past year. “For me, biking has been a really transformative process.” State College resident Steve Schaeffer also enjoys the convenience and health benefits of biking, but says the event’s cause weighed more heavily on his mind when he decided to ride on Saturday. With a strong commitment to helping people, he was glad for the opportunity to “work on improving my health while raising money to help others with their own.”
gated at the Fairbrook United Methodist Church in Pennsylvania Furnace in the cool morning air. With three paths ranging from eight to 61 miles through the foothills of the valley, Saturday’s event offered something for bikers of all experience levels. For some, like Bellefonte resident A.J. Sacyln, the ride is more than exercise. It’s a chance to make a difference. For the second year in a row, Saclyn is the event’s top fundraiser. Having torn his Achilles heel last year, Saclyn says he can only wonder at the difficulties faced by the uninsured. “I can’t imagine for a moment what it must be like to not have dental or medical insurance,” Saclyn says. “These aren’t people that are sitting at home on the couch, either. They’re out there working hard.” CVIM case manager Shelley Murray said that more than 80 percent of the nonprofit’s clients “work one or more jobs,” which includes many workers in part-time and minimum wage positions with no benefits. “In many ways, this may appear to be an affluent area, but plenty of people still struggle with things like finding affordable housing and insurance,” Murray said. Steve Moyer, of Wilkes-Barre, shares Saclyn’s passion for helping others. A fervent participant in charity races

STORMSTOWN — The Wildlife For Everyone Endowment Foundation partnered with Forever Broadcasting and Best Buy to host an educational event for students ages 13 to 18 years old on June 9 at the Gov. Tom Ridge Wetlands Preserve. After discussing the history of the wetlands and the site’s features, teams of students explored and took photographs of the wildlife and habitat. The teams then uploaded the photos to tablets and printed them to create short presentations for a panel. The cameras, tablets, a printer and other related items were purchased through a grant of about $6,880 from Best Buy. The winners for the 13- to 15-year-old age group were Logan Holt and Josh Bloom (first place), Bella Pusateri and Brady Albert (second place), and Caroline Bennett and Katie Finlan (third place). The winners for the 15- to 18-year-old group were Kevin Howell and Kevin Bloom (first place), Olivia Shreffler and Emily
Payne (second place), and Neil Hosterman and Darian Harman (third place). “We were excited to be part of this project,” said Best Buy mobile manager Julie Pichora, who was joined by numerous Best Buy employees volunteering at the event. “The outcome was fantastic and the artistic eye some of the youths have is amazing.” “We were thrilled with the turnout at our beautiful wetlands,” said WFEEF administrative assistant Peg Hosterman. “Young people today can enjoy the outdoors and stay connected with technology.

Family-friendly activities to highlight 4thFest By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Break out your American flag shorts, red, white and blue dress, or light-up firework shirt because it’s time to celebrate Independence Day with the Central Pa. 4thFest. The daylong, family-friendly event is a giant patriotic birthday party, according to 4thFest executive director Bernie Keisling. Thousands of people travel from all over Pennsylvania and the East Coast to participate in the celebration, which Keisling strives to make a memorable experience. “It’s mostly for the kids,” he said. “We want them growing up saying, ‘This is the Fourth of July. This is how we do it in Central Pennsylvania.’” Due to the family-friendly nature of the whole event, alcohol consumption is discouraged. “(We) put as many activities as we can in place for the kids to have a wonderful learning experience and to celebrate what July 4 is all about,” he said. While this year’s celebration will be similar to past ones, Keisling said there are several new and returning things for people to look forward to. Due to construction on campus, there will be a whole new Firecracker 4K race route this year. Keisling said this year’s course is also more level than in past years. About 1,300 runners and walkers are expected to participate in the event, which is just less than 2.5 miles. “That’s a great way to start the day,” he said. A map of the race route is available on the organization’s website. During the five-hour celebration around the Bryce Jordan Center, Beaver Stadium and Medlar Field, there will be BMX stunt riders from Dialed Action Sports instead of a carnival this year. This will take place at the Founders Mall. If the weather cooperates, people will be able to take rides in a hot air balloon with Sky’s the Limit Ballooning. This will be set up in the grassy area below Lot 44. There will be plenty of patriotic events throughout the day as well, Keisling said. The Declaration of Independence will be read at 9 p.m. on the main stage and the local Scout troops, celebrating their 100th anniversary in State College this year, will assemble in the VIP viewing area and lead 5,000 to 6,000 people in the Pledge of Allegiance. Then, right before the fireworks start at 9:15 p.m., military personnel will come out for a flag ceremony. From the choreography to the songs, Keisling said that this year’s fireworks show is completely new. The show will last about 45 minutes and feature about 10,700 fireworks. “When the grand finale comes, the fireworks go off at 27 shells a second,” he said, “which means you have to be comatose not to know.” Instead of leaving right after the fireworks this year, consider staying for the street dance at the main stage with Chris Vipond and the Stanley Street Band. This is an

The fireworks show is the largest volunteer-run show in the country. alternative to fighting other cars to get out of the parking lot first. “If people want go over there and have some fun for a while, by the time they get done they can go to their car and drive right off,” Keisling said. This year’s Parade of Heroes will take its usual route from the State College Municipal Building to Penn State’s Law Building. Along with featuring the nominated heroes, military and emergency units and Scouts, there will also be more helium balloon units, like the ones seen on the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Keisling said. Naturally, this parade’s balloons will be patriotic-themed. Along College Avenue, Keisling said there will be a grandstand for viewers and, if everything works out, there will also be an announcing system for what’s coming up next in the procession. For those who enjoyed last year’s lumberjack show and camp, you’ll get to experience it for a second time. Keisling said that they try not to repeat things, but the lumberjacks were so popular last year, they had to bring them back. They’ll be in Lot 44 next to Beaver Stadium. “They demonstrate all the skills and then invite people to try log rolling,” which about 300 people did last year, he said. “Every time slot was used. Everybody fell off in less than a second.” There will also be continuous entertainment on all three
of the music stages throughout the afternoon and evening. “It’s a little bit of everything,” Keisling said. “You ought to be able to find some entertainment that you can thoroughly enjoy.” About 18 food and drink vendors will be set up starting at 2 p.m. in Towne Square, located in the Stadium West parking lot. Volunteers from Restek will also cut and distribute the 14-foot-long flag cake provided by Giant Foods after singing “Happy Birthday” to the United States. Right across the street, hundreds of volunteers will be grilling and serving hot dogs and chips for free. Donations, Keisling said, are appreciated but not required. VIP viewing passes can be purchased in advance on the event’s website, at Ticketmaster and at RedLine Speed Shine. On Friday, the passes can be purchased until 6:30 p.m. at the BJC Ticket Office, 8:30 p.m. at the 4thFest Information Booth, 9 p.m. in the VIP parking lot entrances and 9:15 p.m. at the VIP viewing area entrance. The VIP viewing passes are just one of the ways Keisling said the organization raises money to put on the celebration every year. This, along with sponsors, general parking donations, VIP parking donations, and the hundreds of volunteers who donate countless hours of time, he said, allows the organization to grow and offer more patriotic opportunities every year.

Bald Eagle Area gets bounced from its first District 5 Tournament By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com
MILESBURG — Playing in its very first District 5 Tournament, the new Bald Eagle Area Little League won two of its first three games and found itself just two games shy of fighting through the tournament’s demanding losers’ bracket. Bald Eagle Area’s quest ended there, however, as it ran into a powerful Mifflin County team on Sunday that was just coming off a tough 6-5 loss to Bellefonte in the quarterfinals. Mifflin scored in every inning, slashed 12 hits, including three long home runs, and overwhelmed BEA 11-1 in four innings to stay alive in the lower bracket of the tournament. Mifflin third baseman Evan Smith blasted two home runs, an RBI double and drove in six runs to lead the Mifflin County offense. Tristen Lockett added two hits, including a two-run homer, and pitcher Shane Dippery threw a complete game, giving up a run on three hits with nine strikeouts. Mifflin scored two runs in the first, five in the second, and then closed out BEA with four more in the third and fourth. Blaine Dickson’s RBI single in the fourth inning ended the game and sent Mifflin County to face Big Valley on Tuesday evening. A victory in that game would set up a rematch against Bellefonte with a place in the finals against Clearfield at stake. “They (Mifflin) are a very
good hitting team,” BEA coach Don Reese said. “They hit the ball very, very well. To be honest, I don’t know how Bellefonte got by them. They are a disciplined team and their pitching is outstanding.” BEA actually began the game on a high note. Second baseman Jaden Jones led off the game with a double, moved to third on pitcher Matt Reese’s single, and then scored on an RBI groundout by Ty Hilgar to give Bald Eagle an early 1-0 lead. That lead would not last long. Smith smashed his first homer in the bottom of the first — a tworun shot far over the right field wall — to give Mifflin a 2-1 lead. In the second inning, Mifflin County batted around, scored five runs and pushed its lead to 7-1. Both Smith and Lockett homered in the inning. Smith’s was a towering three-run shot off the scoreboard in center field, while Locket’s was to left-center and knocked in two more runs. Three more for Mifflin in the third on RBI doubles by Smith and Jace Shoemacker pushed BEA to the brink at 10-1. “Came out on fire. I told them (the MC players) coming in to hold nothing back,” Mifflin County coach Rod Henry said. “This could be it. We came out and hit well. “We are taking it one day at a time, one game at a time. We are not out of it ‘til we lose our second game. As long as we have an out left, we’re not out of anything, the way we can hit.”
TIM WEIGHT/For the Gazette
BALD EAGLE AREA’S Matthew Reese delivers a pitch during Sunday’s 11-1 loss to Mifflin County in Milesburg. The loss eliminated the BEA Little League All-Stars from the District 5 Tournament. With the Mifflin County offense pouring it on, Dippery settled down and retired nine of the last 10 batters he faced, including six strikeouts. Then Dickson poked a oneout, bases-loaded single to bring the game to a close via the 10-run rule in the fourth and eliminate Bald Eagle from the tournament.
Still, for BEA and coach Reese, the new organization’s first playoff appearance was a positive one. “It went very, very well,” Reese said. “The kids that made the team and the kids who made the tournament had nothing bad to say about it. They figured that they have to play harder to make
the ‘A’ tournament team. “I think it’s something we should have done a long time ago. I think it was a good decision, and with the coaches who are here and people who are here, it will go very well. It’s a good thing. They are going to play together, anyway, in high school.”
Spikes look ‘Fresh’
Red-hot State College dominates Williamsport in 5-0 victory By MATT BORTNER sports@centrecountygazette.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — It was an eventful night on and off the field at Medlar Field Sunday, headlined with a celebrity appearance by television star Alfonso Ribeiro, the actor who portrayed Carlton Banks on the popular 1990s sitcom, “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.” “Turn Back the Clock, ’90s Night” was the theme of Sunday night’s contest between the State College Spikes (11-6) and the Williamsport Crosscutters (7-9). The Spikes played almost flawlessly in a 5-0 victory donning “Fresh Prince”-themed jerseys, while the Crosscutters sported “ugly Christmas sweater” jerseys. The win keeps the Spikes in a tie for first place in the Pinckney Division with the Batavia Muckdogs. In a battle of the uniforms, Spikes starting pitcher Will Anderson fooled batters all night. Anderson set a franchise and Medlar Field record striking out 10 batters in seven
innings of work. Anderson pitched a nohitter into the fifth that Matt Shortall broke up with a single. He finished the night only giving up three hits and did not surrender any walks. Anderson had been giving the Spikes consistent outWILL ANDERSON ings in this young season, but none nearly as dominant as this one. He improved his record to 1-1 on the year and lowered his ERA to 1.06 in his fourth start. “I didn’t come into today thinking I would be that dominant,” said Anderson, “but those guys didn’t want to make an adjustment, so I kept going with my offspeed pitches.” Anderson had not notched more than four strikeouts in his previous outings. He said in part he was able to earn so many strikeouts because of adjustments
he made from the Crosscutter aggressive early count approach the day before, though he was surprised by how many he tallied. “I know I don’t throw hard. I consider myself more of a groundball pitcher,” said Anderson. “I usually don’t get this many strikeouts.” Anderson was also aided by a productive night from the Spikes’ bats. State College plated three runs in the first inning allowing Anderson to go to work. “It always helps when you can feel comfortable throwing your pitches knowing that you have a little cushion,” said State College manager Oliver Marmol. On Saturday, Brian Vigo Suarez was sent to the seven-day disabled list, which made room for Darren Seferina’s debut with the Spikes. Seferina played second base and batted leadoff, instantly making a name for himself. Seferina successfully laid down a drag bunt in his first at bat and stole second on the very next pitch. He would later score in the Spikes’ three-run first inning off a
Danny Diekroeger RBI single. The most impressive play of Seferina’s night came after he doubled in the seventh inning. Seferina caught Williamsport pitcher Alejandro Arteaga napping in between pitches. Once Arteaga received the ball back from the catcher, Seferina dashed to an uncovered third base and successfully swiped the bag. The heads-up play brought the Crosscutters infield, allowing Diekroeger to drive Seferina in for the second time on a grounder up the middle. “Anytime you can get a kid in his debut to play like that, be that heads up, and not fear to make a mistake, that’s a good sign,” said Marmol. Before a sizeable crowd, Rowan Wick was inches away from hitting a franchiserecord 11th home run. The ball bounced off the base of the wall and landed him with a double. Wick finished the night going 2-for-3 with two RBIs and a walk. As Carlton Banks would say of the redhot Wick’s night, “It’s not unusual.”
Ribeiro makes splash with Spikes appearance By JOHN PATISHNOCK sports@centrecountygazette.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — The view immediately grabbed Alfonso Ribeiro’s attention. Ribeiro, an actor and director best known for playing Carlton on the 1990s sitcom “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” made his first visit to State College last weekend when he made an appearance at the State College Spikes game. As he met with a few members of the media on the suite-level concourse of
Medlar Field at Lubrano Park, Ribeiro looked across the street and saw Beaver Stadium. The home of Nittany Lion football team stood out. “The view right behind the camera is pretty amazing,” Ribeiro said. “That stadium is a professional-sized stadium right there. It looks gorgeous. “Everyone has been wonderful here so far. I got in yesterday and it’s a quick turnaround, but everybody has been awesome. Actually, my manager is a Penn State alum, and he was like, ‘You’ve got to go.’” In addition to meeting with players and
fans, Ribeiro judged a dance contest that featured three contestants doing the “Carlton” dance, made famous by Ribeiro on the sitcom. Everything was part of a 1990s-themed night at the ballpark, where the Spikes wore “Fresh Prince”-themed jerseys and the Williamsport Crosscutters sported “ugly Christmas sweater,” jerseys, which they originally planned to wear at a game that was rained out. The Spikes auctioned off the “Fresh Prince” jerseys during an online auction, with nearly $5,000 going to Children’s Miracle Network.
Ribeiro answered questions from reporters for several minutes, talking about the staying power of “Fresh Prince,” growing up in the Bronx and cheering for the New York Yankees, and his enthusiasm for the promotion. Ribeiro was very down-to-earth, answering questions thoughtfully and being gracious with his time. He also joked about the show becoming a launching pad for Will Smith, with whom he has stayed friends. Smith played the title character on Ribeiro, Page 21

Bucknell Golf Club well-represented at tourney MILL HALL — On a day best suited for ducks, thanks to the unpredictability of Mother Nature, the Bucknell Golf Club was represented well at the Clinton Country Club. Playing through showers all day, some heavy at times, the trio of Bucknellians, Ben Cook, Tim Harpster and Dick Williamson, took top honors in their respective flights. The only flight not won by a Bucknell member was the 80 and older group, which was paced by Leo Stahl on his home course. Cook carded a 1-under-par 72, taking home medalist honors on the day in addition to winning the 50- to 59-year-old group. Finishing a distant second was NCPGA newcomer and fellow Bucknell member Peter Ellis with an 80.

On his first day back from recent knee surgery, Bucknell’s Harpster carded a 74 runaway with the victory in the 60- to 69-year-old division. Williamsport Country Club’s Bill Byrne finished second in the division with a 78 and Tom Thompson of Shade Mountain Golf Club rounded out the top three with an 85. The 70- to 79-year-old division found Bucknell members in the top three places. A familiar face led the flight: Williamson’s 5-over-par 78 was good for his third victory of the year on the senior tour. His clubmates Tom Egli and Gary Fry, who posted rounds of 81 and 84, followed Williamson. In the 80 and older division, Stahl fired a 100 for first place over Eagles Mere’s John Hirsch.

DRIVE FOR THE FUTURE OF AGRICULTURE GOLF TOURNAMENT
The Centre County Farm Bureau recently announced the “Drive for the Future of Agriculture” golf tournament, which will be held on Monday, Aug. 11, just before Penn State’s Ag Progress Days opens. Proceeds from the tournament will benefit Penn State Collegiate Farm Bureau and the Pa. Friends of Ag Foundation. Tournament chair Abe Harpster of Evergreen Farms said: “Farming today increasingly demands the skills that a formal agricultural education provides. This tournament will help offer that opportunity through college level scholarships and, at the elementary and middle school level, fund the Ag Lab program that educates younger students about the food they eat. That is an investment for the future which is a win-win for farmer and consumer alike.” Added Centre County Farm Bureau president Dan Kniffen: “Abe Harpster is not only a very successful farmer, but an excellent advocate for the role of agricultural education. It’s exciting to have him as our event chair.”

Experienced running back will be key for Lions By BEN JONES StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — It’s not exactly a secret Penn State needs Christian Hackenberg to play well this upcoming season. It’s also not a secret that Penn State needs Hackenberg to stay healthy in the process. But for Hackenberg to be able to do either of those things, he’s going to need some help. He’ll especially need help from the players lining up behind or next to him nearly every play — the running backs. According to Phil Steele, the college football preview guru of record, Penn State’s running back corps of Zach Zwinak, Bill Belton and Akeel Lynch is rated the 11th best in the nation. Considering that all three players have multiple years of experience, and in the case of Belton and Zwinak multiple games as the primary back, it’s not surprising the group is rated highly. The key now is cashing in on that experience on a team that Steele rates the least experienced in the conference and the 102nd least-experienced team in the nation. While nobody really knows how James Franklin and John Donovan are going to attack defenses this upcoming season, it’s hard to imagine that Zwinak, Belton and Lynch won’t be a big part of that equation. As Franklin has said on several occasions, understanding your strengths and weaknesses is a big part of being successful. So as fans await another impressive campaign by Hackenberg, it isn’t entirely unreasonable to think that the ground game could be the first mode of attack this season rather than a complementary aspect to the offense, especially if the wildcat gets involved like it did during the Blue-White Game. “That will be a part of our offense. How much? I’m not

sure,” Franklin said of the wildcat. “It just kind of depends how camp goes. Every other offense you run, the defense has an advantage of plus-one on you, so I think it makes sense. We’ve had a lot of success with it in the past. So it will be a part.” Penn State’s offensive line is going to be an area of concern whether you’re talking about the running game or pass protection. Fortunately, offensive line coach Herb Hand has proven he is capable of putting together units that get the job done. This might be best illustrated by looking at the past nine seasons at Vanderbilt. During that time, three of the top four rushing performances happened when Hand and Franklin were in charge.
While it’s hard to equate one team’s success as proof that things will go just fine for another team, it makes sense that the offense could revolve around Zwinak and company as much as Hackenberg and his receivers. The wildcat is essentially a shortcut designed to get the ball to explosive players like Belton and Lynch. Couple that with the ground-and-pound running style of Zwinak, and suddenly defenses have to worry about two different running attacks as well as Hackenberg’s arm. This isn’t to say Penn State is going to suddenly abandon the pass and become a wildcat gimmick offense overnight. Rather, Zwinak, Belton and Lynch are going to play a big role in the Nittany Lions’ success this year. They have to, and Hackenberg will have to hope they do.

UNIVERSITY PARK — It’s been a hot start for the State College Spikes. Through the first 17 games of the season, the Spikes were 11-6 and tied for first place in the Pinckney Division of the New York Penn League. The long ball has been a huge factor for the Spikes’ early-season success. State College leads the New York Penn League with 21 home runs. That is eight more homers than the Lowell Spinners, who sit at second in team home runs. In large part, the Spikes’ inflated home run numbers can be attributed to one of the hottest bats in the league, rightfielder Rowan Wick. When Spikes head coach Oliver Marmol was asked how he would pitch to Wick right now, he could only muster a couple of words. “I wouldn’t,” he said matter-of-factly. Wick currently leads the New York Penn League with 10 home runs and is tied for first in RBIs with 21. He became the only player in franchise history to hit four home runs in the first four games in a season. Barring injury, he will break David Washington’s franchise record of 10 home runs that was set last year. As easy as it looks for Wick right now, he has come a long way into converting successful plate appearances. Power has never been an issue, but recognizing pitches has. “You got to see what is thrown to you and react to those pitches,” said Wick. “They’re not all going to be easy so you just have to go with it.” Last year in rookie-level Johnson City, Wick belted 10 home runs. Five of those homers came in an eight-game stretch. However, in extended spring training, Marmol told Wick that if he could not lay off the low pitch he would not see any improvement. Therefore, Wick spent countless hours in the cage and with hitting coach Ramon “Smokey” Ortiz working on laying off the curve ball in the dirt and hitting pitches where they are thrown. “Pitch recognition is the biggest thing with any power hitter,” said Marmol. “Most power guys strike out a higher percentage than anybody else and as long as he makes contact, the ball is going to travel a long way.” The repetitions have not only helped improve Wick’s power but have also helped him boast the league’s secondbest batting average (.407). Wick has sprayed hits and home runs to all sides of the field. Wick is not the only one benefiting from the off-season work. Clean-up hitter Nick Thompson has hit directly in front of Wick for the majority of the season. Thompson, in his first year of professional baseball, already has 11 RBIs. “It is nice for me knowing that I am going to get some pitches to hit,” said Thompson. If Spikes fans want to catch a glimpse of the red-hot Wick, they might want to do it now, as his days in State College may be coming to a close. “Wick is unbelievable right now,” said Thompson. “If he keeps up this pace, he won’t be here much longer.”

Student tickets sell out as excitement grows for Franklin era UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State’s student section will hang on to its claim as one of the best in the nation as students bought out their enitre season ticket allotment last week. The sale, which started with graduate students and seniors, saw the excitement for the James Franklin era continue to build. The junior class tickets sold out in only 35 minutes according to the university. Penn State sophomores and freshmen got their shot at tickets later in the week, snatching up their allotments as well, with the freshmen tickets selling out at a breakneck speed of only six minutes. Officially the student section holds 21,000 and has been called the best in the nation by several national outlets. These newest season ticket holders will get to hold up that tradition this season with home games against Ohio State, Michigan State, Homecoming foe Northwestern, new Big Ten member Maryland, Akron, Massachusetts and Temple. “I’ve heard that our student section is the best in the nation and I got a preview during the spring game, but to see the pas-
sion our students have for Penn State football even during this week’s sale is unbelievable,” said head coach James Franklin in a prepared statement. “To have 21,000-plus students supporting our team each home game from the time the players first take the field until the victory bell rings is such a huge advantage. When we return from Ireland after our opener vs. UCF, I know we’ll be backed by the best students in the nation, who will join the rest of the Penn State family to pack Beaver Stadium 107K strong.” Stadium-wide Penn State has reportedly sold more than 4,000 new season ticket packages. Roughly 600 season ticket packages have also been sold through the new recent-graduate ticketing program that began this offseason. Penn State has seen attendance decline over the past several seasons with the 10 smallest crowds in post-stadium expansion era coming since 2011. Even so, the 96,587 per game average was still good enough to give the Nittany Lions the fifth best attendance mark in the nation following the 2013 season. Given the early success and excitement of the Franklin era, it stands to reason that number of tickets sold is only going to go up, not down, in the coming years.
Tim Frazier heads to Sixers’ camp By BEN JONES StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Tim Frazier’s dreams of playing professional basketball in the NBA are closer to becoming a reality as the former Nittany Lion will play for the Philadelphia 76ers’ summer league team. “Looks like I will spending my summer in Philly with 76ers!” Frazier tweeted. “Summer league time!” Frazier worked out for several NBA teams during the weeks leading up to the draft, but only the Sixers called Frazier back for a second look. TIM FRAZIER The rebuilding Philadelphia franchise accumulated seven new players during this weekend’s draft. The Sixers are scheduled to take part in summer league action in both Las Vegas and Orlando, Fla., in the coming weeks. Frazier’s full complement of teammates
has yet to be announced, but St. John’s forward JaKarr Sampson, Pittsburgh center Talib Zanna and Cincinnati guard Sean Kilpatrick are some of the players reportedly set to join Frazier on the roster. The 6-foot-1, 170-pound guard averaged 14.9 points, 5.4 assists and 4.4 rebounds in his senior season.

THE STATE COLLEGE Spikes radio team of Steve Jones, left, and Joe Putnam, center, interviewed Alfonso Ribeiro before the State College Spikes-Williamsport Crosscutters game Sunday at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. Ribeiro served as a dance judge, and he also threw out the first pitch. Ribeiro, from page 18 the “Fresh Prince” sitcom and has since become a mega movie star. Ribeiro didn’t have any hesitation in embracing the “Fresh Prince” and ’90sthemed night at the ballpark, and he expressed genuine excitement in both visiting State College and his role during the night. He also threw out the first pitch, posed for photos and signed autographs throughout much of the game. “I expect it to just be a lot fun, and everybody with a lot of smiles,” Ribeiro said before the game. “That’s the goal of tonight.”
Two nights prior, Ribeiro was in Michigan at another minor league baseball game. He does a few appearances every year at such venues, and added the SpikesCrosscutters uniform promotion made his visit to State College unique. “I think it’s great, it’s cool to do something just a little different,” Ribeiro said. “To come up with a jersey, and make it kind of cool and make it a little bit more of a special night and bring more people out, it’s pretty cool.” In addition to his role as Carlton, Ribeiro boasts a resume that includes appearances on stage and screen. Ribeiro also has directed nearly 100 television episodes.

Mach One Slalom Team participates in race
CLOSE CALL
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Mach One Slalom Team members Jacob Saldana and Zachary Grant, both from Milesburg, raced in two kayak slalom events on the Feeder Canal along the Potomac River near Washington, D.C., recently. Joining them was coach Dave Kurtz, of State College, who also competed. At the Feeder Summer Slalom, Saldana finished in fourth place in the U12 kayak class with a 147- second result, while Grant finished in sixth place with a 201-second score. At the Feeder Spring Fling, held the following week, the two kayakers had similar-but-improved results. Saldana was fifth with a 138-second score, which was a clean run with no penalties. Grant was close behind with a 148-second score for sixth place. Kurtz finished second at both events in the master’s kayak class. At the summer slalom he scored a 124-second run. At the Spring Fling, he raced to a 117 result. At the Spring Fling, the three raced as a team to take third place in the kayak team race with a 216-second run. In team runs, the result is the sum of the time for all three boats to traverse the course, plus the sum of all penalty points each boat earns. The Spring Fling was scheduled for a month earlier, but postponed due to high water on the Potomac River. The results of these races earned Saldana and Grant a third and a fourth place on the 2014 Mid-Atlantic Regional Team in the U12 age group.

Classic ‘Anything Goes’ ready for the stage By ANNE WALKER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — State College Community Theatre kicks off summer with a splash on Friday, July 11, at Mt. Nittany Middle School when cast and crew board the ocean liner S.S. American and set sail with the classic Cole Porter musical “Anything Goes.” The 80-year-old show has endured primarily due to its up-tempo melodies, witty dialogue and Porter’s sophisticated lyrics. One of musical theater’s finest lyricists, Porter, unlike his contemporaries, had rural roots, growing up in Indiana. The songs featured in the show incorporate a simple elegance with a risqué edge and, frequently, biting humor. “It’s one of those shows that’s still around and popular. I’d say it’s still contemporary,” said director Mike Knarr.
IF YOU GO What: “Anything Goes” When: July 11, 12, 17, 18 and 19 Where: Mount Nittany Middle School Auditorium, 656 Brandywine Drive, State College More info: www.scctonline.org
A raucous array of characters includes evangelist-turned-nightclub-singer Reno Sweeney (Ashley Moore), debutante Hope Harcourt (Morgan Sichler), Hope’s fiancé, Lord Evelyn Oakleigh (Lyn J. Freymiller), Reno’s friend Billy Crocker (Chris Hirsh), and second-rate thug and Public Enemy #13, Moonface Martin (Rob Arnold). The musical is set on a luxury liner set for England. Reno Sweeney wants to help her friend Billy win the heart and hand of Hope, currently engaged to marry the Englishman Lord Evelyn. Things get twisted when Moonface Martin, disguised as a minister, tries to help. The shenanigans ensue with a broken engagement, mistaken identities, a little bit of blackmail, a love triangle, women of questionable reputations, gangsters, a freshly-groomed canine and plenty of tap-dancing. Memorable songs from “Anything Goes” include “I Get a Kick out of You,” “You’re the Top,” and, of course, “Anything Goes.” This SCCT production features a full pit orchestra under the direction of Colleen Kennedy, and choreography by Rachael Gigar. Moore appeared last summer as Marian in “The Music Man.” Her Reno Sweeney takes a radical departure from the demure character she previously portrayed. She projects a contagious energy that the rest

The dialogue, chock-full of double-entendres, gets skillful handling with these performers. Knarr sees to it that each actor’s natural reactions work their way into each scene. And,
the audience can’t help but get caught up in the silliness. The Depression-era Broadway hit retains plenty of humor and edginess today. It may not fly, but it sure does sail.

Workshops are free, but participants must register by contacting the curator of education at (814) 863-9188 or dck10@psu. edu. Space is limited, so register early. n Workshop for adults: “Painting Alla Prima,” Noon to 3 p.m., Saturday, July 19 The medium of oil paint has been used for centuries to depict subject matter with depth, light and color. Paintings are generally created in one setting with the alla prima (Italian for “at first attempt”) technique, as layers of wet paint are quickly applied over previous layers. In this workshop, participants will view oil paintings at the museum, and then painter Sarah Swist will engage participants in the process of creating an alla prima canvas of their own. n Workshop for children and youth: “Western Places and Spaces,” 10:15 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday, July 26 In this workshop inspired by “Window on the West: Views from the American Frontier,” students will view paintings, watercolors and drawings of the American West, and then discuss their understandings of places west of the Mississippi River. Art educator Sue Uhlig will lead an investigation into the concept of place by helping students map locations and write a poem or short narrative based on works of art. In the studio, workshop participants will create a mixed-media landscape using watercolor and collage methods to illustrate their own wondrous place. Recommended for ages 6-10. A parent or adult learning part-
ner is encouraged to accompany young attendees; participants should wear appropriate clothing for working with materials. n Workshop for children and youth: “Design It, Build It, Use It: Discover Origami and Engineering,” 1 to 3 p.m., Thursday, July 31 Albert Einstein said, “The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science.” In this workshop, children will be guided through a series of activities that investigate the science behind various art mediums. Children will be asked to think and work like artists and engineers through demonstrations and hands-on activities, facilitated by Penn State’s multiyear National Science Foundation Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation grant team and Dana Carlisle Kletchka, curator of education. By exploring all of these ideas together, young learners will have the opportunity to experience how magical art and engineering can be. Recommended for ages 6-8. A parent or adult learning partner is encouraged to accompany young attendees; participants should wear appropriate clothing for working with materials. n Workshop for adults: “Luminous Landscape: Basics of Color Palette Control and Composition,” Noon to 3 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 9 In this workshop, art educator MinSoo Kim-Bossard will guide participants through “Window on the West: Views from the American Frontier” and emphasize viewing and analyzing landscapes.

New bagel business is a hit in Happy Valley By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — When Brandon Rusinque showed up to work on opening day at his father’s new bagel shop, the line was out the door and around the corner. And, the shops grand opening hadn’t even been formally announced at that point. Al Rusinque opened Bagel Crust at 332 E. Calder Way at the end of May. Rusinque, a restaurateur familiar with the entrepreneurial spirit, has previously owned bagel shops in Delaware, Florida and Maryland over the past 22 years. These efforts were largely successful; a few remain open to this day, though Rusinque is no longer affiliated with them. The move to State College was as much about business as it was family. Brandon, an aspiring orthodontist, came to Penn State last year to study pre-med. Having previously operated a shop in a college town, Rusinque opened Bagel Crust to be near his son. Brandon says he enjoys the fast-paced work of his father’s shop, but he’s never felt pressured into someday taking over the business. “My father definitely pushes me to work on my degree,” Brandon said. “He encour-
ages (my younger brother and me) to pursue academics more than anything.” Though running the shop is second nature to Rusnique, the process of acquiring the location and making it business-ready proved challenging. Having leased “basically an empty shell,” Rusinque still needed to set up the water and sewage, ensure the building was handicapped accessible and prepare the interior for customers. “With the leasing process, it really takes about two months before you actually do anything,” Rusinque said. “You have to hire architects and contractors. I did some of the work myself, but you can only do so much.” The shop itself is cozy, with large windows, outdoor seating and muted colors. On one wall hangs a series of plaques with the names of specialty sandwiches: the Soprano, the Mick Jagger, the Boss. On another wall hangs a bright painting, by Rusinque himself, of bagel sandwiches. When not working, Rusinque enjoys painting, and is currently “painting a picture for the town” of the Corner Room, one of the most classic buildings in State College’s streetscape. When finished, he plans to hang it in Bagel Crust. Penn State student Kyle Freeley and his
Ben Franklin’s TechCelerator helps launch six new startups STATE COLLEGE — Six participating companies from a 10-week spring session held by Ben Franklin’s TechCelerator, a partnership with Penn State and other economic development providers, recently made their final presentations before a panel of judges and peers in a competition for $10,000. A standing-room-only crowd attended to hear about the markets the companies chose to enter, the problems their innovations will solve and how they plan on making money. Each team had 15 minutes to showcase their work. The startups, all led by local entrepreneurs, included: n Penergy Solutions — Keppy Arnoldson and Jenn Breimhurst n AcreBooks — Sel Edor and Stephen Thor n ArgentumCidalElectrics — Tom Fuller n Trans-Cell Conversion Technology — Gong Chen n Leafy — Amin Afzal n Waybright Technologies — Todd Waybright
In the end, two of the finalists — TransCell Conversion Technology and Waybright Technologies —were selected to share in the prize money. Gong Chen, CEO of Trans Cell Conversion Technology, has developed a patentpending technology that effectively treats brain injuries or neurodegenerative disorders. The company’s gene and small molecule therapy regenerates specific subtypes of neurons in order to target a variety of disorders including Alzheimer’s disease and the effects of a stroke. Todd Waybright, of Waybright Technologies, provides farmers with a proprietary method for in vitro fertilization of dairy cattle. Dairy cattle must become pregnant every 12 to 15 months in order to produce milk, and the cost of an infertile animal is significant to the farmer. Waybright’s innovation allows embryos produced in vitro to be used to impregnate the animals. For more information, contact Chen at gongchengpsu@gmail.com or Waybright at twaybright@cs.com.

BAGEL CRUST, located at 332 E. Calder Way in State College, features a wide variety of freshlymade bagels and sandwiches. friend, Nick Toscano, both Boston natives, say they were impressed by both Bagel Crust’s prices and menu. “They have a lot more variety than I would’ve expected from a bagel place,” Toscano said. The menu includes a variety of flavored handmade bagels, egg sandwiches and omelets, cheesesteaks, tuna melts and more.
Rusinque said that even without advertising, business has been strong and steady. The summer may be somewhat relaxed, but the fall will bring an influx of students and hungry stomachs. Though Rusinque says it’s hard to compare Bagel Crust to his previous enterprises because it only recently opened, “this period of time has been the best of all my shops.”
Creativity requires structure and discipline Many people become nervous when they have to write, speak or do what they perceive as creative work. I’ve heard people say things like “I’m just not creative” or “I’m not good at (insert creative activity).” While creativity can be magical, it’s not magic. It’s producing something of value that is new or unique. Creative solutions don’t come quickly or easily to anyone, regardless of what some people say or think. People aren’t creative on demand.

It’s not “we need more sales” or “our turnaround time is too long.” Invest the time to clearly define what you need to change and what your desired outcome is. n Develop the mental road map. Creative thinkers and innovators use lists as mental road maps. List concepts, draw out your ideas, write out your creative thoughts, and sketch the flow chart or ideal outcome. n Find the relationship between facts. Facts on their own aren’t of high value. The real value comes from seeing the connection between the facts. n Eliminate distractions. Today’s constant interruptions from texts, alerts, emails and in-person discussions stifle creative thought. Start small by blocking off a few hours of undistracted time for creative problem solving, and then build upon it as you see the results. n Collaborate. The old “two heads are better than one” adage applies. Collaboration takes ideas to another level. n Have the “wrong” mentality. It’s OK to not get it right the first, second or third time. Creative solutions are developed by learning from mistakes. n Show up. It takes discipline to continually work at creative activity. Those who show up the most produce the most.
