Officials vote to dismantle old 911 system By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — The final steps to remove the old 911 system equipment, which was replaced by a new digital system earlier this year, are in motion. The Centre County Board of Commissioners approved a proposal from Centre Communications for the decommissioning, removal and inventory of the old 911 system equipment and shelters at its meeting on Tuesday. Gene Lauri and Dale Neff of the county’s Criminal Justice Planning Department presented the proposal to commissioners Chris Exarchos and Michael Pipe. The anticipated cost for the project is $30,400.

Centre Communications will both remove and take inventory of the equipment, Lauri said. Their services will not involve any reconditioning or cleaning of the electronics, but they will help identify what still has value and can be sold. “That equipment will then go into storage for later sale by the county,” he said. “The other equipment identified that has no value will be taken to the appropriate facility for disposal.” “That material has to be removed,” Neff said. “The county will get some value back from scrap metal (and) the sale of electronic parts.” The next steps, Lauri said, will be to remove the wooden shelters and decommissioned propane generators and tanks from

the old system sites. The propane generators and tanks, he said, also have value. “We’re trying to work out an agreement with someone to remove the propane from those tanks and see what value we can get from that for the county,” Lauri said. There are 12 shelters at 11 sites throughout the county, Neff said. Because the new shelters have already been constructed at new sites, Lauri said that the goal is to have the shelters demolished before the first bout of bad weather this winter and continue any other work in the spring. Exarchos and Pipe also approved the renewal of a contract between the county and White Deer Run to provide inpatient treatment services for adult and adolescent clients who are diagnosed with ad-

UNIVERSITY PARK — More than anything else, Penn State’s new athletic director was able to convince the search committee of one thing: She was the right person for the job. Penn State President Eric Barron continued ushering in a new era when he introduced Sandy Barbour, former athletic director at the University of California, as Penn State’s new athletic director during a press conference Saturday afternoon at Beaver Stadium. Barbour will be Penn State’s first female athletic director and one of only a few in the major conferences. After narrowing the choice down to a few candidates, Barron conducted a straw poll among the seven people on the search committee. Each person tabbed Barbour as his or her top choice. “We found the right person to lead our program,” Barron said. An eclectic crowd gathered at

IN CHARGE: Penn State University President Eric Barron introduced Sandy Barbour as the new athletic director at a news conference on Saturday. Beaver Stadium, with many current Penn State coaches joining the media and university administrators at the introduction. Barbour replaces David Joyner, who spent the past two and a half years in the position. Joyner had strong ties to Penn State, the football program and Joe Paterno. Barbour doesn’t have any prior connection to the university, though she described herself as someone from the East Coast. Barbour is originally from Maryland and played field hockey and basketball at Wake Forest while earning her undergraduate degree. She then earned advanced degrees from the University of Massachusetts and North-

western University. She also was an assistant field hockey coach and administrative assistant for the women’s lacrosse team at Northwestern while earning an MBA. All of this stood out to Barron, and Barbour said Penn State’s ability to stay united in the aftermath of the last few years was a top draw for her. Barbour left Cal after nearly a decade; she resigned from her position as athletic director last month with newspaper reports detailing that the athletic department faced multiple problems, including poor graduation Barbour, Page 6

PSU coaches, president talk about new era of athletics By JOHN PATISHNOCK sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Numerous current Penn State coaches converged on the media room at Beaver Stadium on Saturday afternoon for the press conference to introduce Sandy Barbour as the university’s new athletic director.

diction. This contract is state and federally funded with no money needed from the county. The state pays $136,000 for the services, while the federal portion is $24,000. The Drug and Alcohol Office sent about 75 to 80 patients for treatment every year, said Catherine Arbogast, assistant administrator. About three-quarters of those patients receive services from White Deer Run and its partner facilities, she said. This is the largest contract that the Drug and Alcohol Office has, Arbogast said, and includes access to several facilities throughout the state. “Having that number of facilities available to us allows us to have better access to bed availability when individuals need access to those services,” she said.

State and State College communities: “The advice that I’ve given most often is take the time to listen and talk to a lot of people. I think one thing that happens if you have a lot of different experiences, is that sometimes you’ve come to a point where you think you know the best way. And so, it may or may not fit with the culture of the institution where you’re at. I’ve seen two great institutions solve a problem in completely different ways and they both worked, and they suited each other’s culture, and if you’ve flipped them, they probably wouldn’t have worked. You

really do have to understand the culture and this is really all about the people, so you’ve got to make sure you get to know the people. My best advice to everybody is take the time to listen, to assess, to talk to people, to learn as much as you can, and then start to think about things.” JAMES FRANKLIN, Penn State football coach, on whether Barbour’s background as a coach will help her work together with current Penn State coaches and in her overseeing role as athletic director: “I think it helps.

STATE COLLEGE — You’ve probably heard the famous saying “speak softly but carry a big stick.” Well, meet State College Area High School’s Karli Nolan. She speaks softly but carries a big club — a golf club, that is. The State High soon-to-be senior has spent the summer finetuning her golf game. She’s been a part of the North East Junior Golf Tour, which has taken her throughout the state. While most kids her age are spending their summers by the pool or playing video games, Nolan has been out under the hot sun on the golf course, getting as much work in as she can. “It’s really been all golf,” Nolan said of her summer. “Because I’m a part of the junior tour, we’ve been all over Pennsylvania doing a bunch of tournaments. I try to hang out with my friends when I can. I try to keep that social life intact.” It’s probably not a stretch to say Nolan is a natural at the game of golf. She only started golfing in eighth grade after she picked up a club at her uncle’s house. “They hit golf balls and one day I hit one. He said I had a pretty good technique, I guess. My uncle went up to my dad and said, ‘You

CENTRE COUNTY SPOTLIGHT gotta get her into golf.’ That’s how it all got started,” Nolan said. But good technique can only take you so far, and Nolan realized that. If she was going to get better, she had to take lessons and spend countless hours on the course. There are many facets to the game of golf. Nolan quickly learned it’s not just about driving the ball. As she enters her senior year at State High, Nolan is the leader of the Lady Little Lion golf team. As she readies for the 2014 season, she’s excited to get back on the course with her teammates. “It’s a really relaxed program. The whole team is focused on team bonding. We’re all really good friends and we’ll be even closer by the end of the season,” Nolan said. Nolan had high praise for State High head coach Ken Miller. “He really helps us out, but he likes it when we’re able to fix our own mistakes. He knows that we’re doing something wrong, but we’re able to fix it. It’s been a good experience,” Nolan said. Nolan, Page 5

McMasters’ truck. Police say an eyewitness confirmed that McMasters, 44, was at fault for the accident. He has since been issued a citation for running the signal. The front of Lombard’s Hyundai was damaged significantly enough to require State College Police and the Boalsburg Fire Company to pull him from the car. Police say Lombard was transported to Mount Nittany Medical Center after complaining of pain, though they could not confirm the extent of his injuries. He was traveling with a passenger, who was not injured.

STATE COLLEGE — A State College man had to be “mechanically extricated” from his car after a traffic accident Sunday afternoon, according to police. Charles Lombard, 38, was driving southbound on South Atherton Street when a Ford F-150 failed to stop at a red light at the intersection with Warner Boulevard.

Academy helps prepare blind students for college By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT

Participating students sleep in Penn State dorms, attend college classes and learn everything from using assistive technology to self-defense. On Sunday, the students found themselves at the Stone Valley Vertical Adventures challenge course, preparing to balance on wires two stories above the ground with the help of Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center staff. Tarik Williams, a visually impaired resident assistant with the summer academy, says even though navigating a high-ropes course isn’t a vital life skill, the confidence to rise to the challenge of doing so is. “Building confidence is a big part of this whole process,” Williams said. “There are so many things that these kids think they can’t do — but they can. They just have to do it a little differently.” Williams attended the program himself back in 2011, after losing his vision in his junior year of high school due to a genetic disease. He says that without the summer academy, he wouldn’t have been prepared for the struggles that come with attending college. Everything from eating in a cafeteria to simply letting professors know of their disability presents a challenge for blind students, Williams said. Attending the academy left him so well equipped “to be an advocate for myself and my needs” Williams decided to come back and help empower new students in the same way. Shaver’s Creek program director Will Wise says the visually impaired students haven’t been the only ones learning. When Wise taught the students how to canoe on Saturday, he encountered a new problem: How do you demonstrate rowing tech-

UNIVERSITY PARK — When Madeline Link walked up to the customer service desk at Walmart and asked for help finding groceries, she experienced an emotion most people wouldn’t feel at that moment: empowerment. Link — a blind high school student from Allentown — said she’s always had trouble asking others for help, whether it’s just for school or for assistance related to her disability. Thanks to a program newly offered at Penn State, she and other young visually impaired students from across the state are learning how to advocate for themselves in their daily lives. David De Notaris, the director of the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry’s Bureau of Blindness and Visual Services, says visually impaired individuals face difficulties many people never think about: crossing a street, using an ATM, using a cell phone, buying groceries, doing laundry. The list goes on. De Notaris helped teach these and other vital skills through the bureau’s summer academy, which helps high school students learn skills to help them transition into college and independent living. Formerly hosted at a rehabilitation center in Johnstown, this is the first year the college-focused program has been held at Penn State. “I felt very apprehensive and nervous when I first started this program,” Link said. “It can be hard for anyone to admit that they need help.” The academy started back on July 13 and runs through the beginning of August.

Paterno expects some backlash from new book By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — Jay Paterno, son of the late Penn State head football coach Joe Paterno, said he expects some backlash regarding his newly released book. “Everything I’ve done in my life has been kind of out there in the public … so backlash has been part of the territory,” Paterno told StateCollege.com. “I expect it. It’s not going to surprise me and it’s not going to bother me. ... I wanted to write the truth. If I tried to sugarcoat it and whitewash it and make it ‘kumbaya’ it wouldn’t be honest. ... It’s honest and my feelings are in that book and how I felt in the moment.” Paterno’s memoir, “Paterno Legacy: Enduring Lessons from the Life and Death of My Father,” hit the shelves of the State College Barnes & Noble bookstore last week. Since then, the store sold all 68 copies. It’s unclear when the store will have more copies on hand, but Barnes & Noble is taking orders from customers. In the book, aside from many anecdotes about his father, Paterno shares his thoughts on the university trustees who

were close to the family and voted to terminate his father as head coach. Some of the trustees, who Paterno grew up around, he called out by name. Paterno said he wrote that chapter as the events were happening, while it was fresh and raw, and named certain trustees because he was close to them and found their votes all the more hurtful. “What I want people to understand is I was expressing my true feelings in that moment and who wouldn’t have felt that way given what happened? Do I feel exactly the same about them now? With some of them, I feel better about them now based on how they’ve handled things since then, and with others I feel worse about them now,” said Paterno. Paterno, a former Penn State assistant football coach, also tackles the university’s independent investigation into the Sandusky scandal led by former FBI director Louis Freeh. He said the report wrongly alleges assistant coaches ignored red flags regarding the abuse. Recently, Paterno and former coach Bill Kenney filed a lawsuit against Penn State for allegedly failing to honor their employ-

aware of an issue when Mike McQueary told him (Joe Paterno) that he saw Sandusky in the shower with a child. Paterno said his father reported the information to his supervisors, assuming they’d take care of the situation. “He felt like, if there’s a problem, it’s going to be taken care of and they’re going to come back to me and tell me it’s been taken care of,” said Paterno. Ultimately, Paterno hopes readers see that his father was “first and foremost an educator and winning games wasn’t most important to him” and that he was an honorable man. “His intention was always honorable. Whether or not the end result was what we wanted … there was nothing sinister in him. He believed in the innate goodness of man and lived his life as someone who was innately good,” said Paterno. Paterno, who’s doing some consulting work, is working on another book about college football and recruiting, which he said will be fiction, though at least partly based on true events. He’s also in talks regarding teaching college courses covering media-related issues.

ment contracts and for not publicly clearing the coaching staff of any wrongdoing. “We just want to get that cleared up,” Paterno said. The Paterno family and several other parties are also suing Penn State and the NCAA over unprecedented sanctions the NCAA leveled against the university’s football program following the release of the Freeh report. Paterno said the report also wrongly infers his father was involved in a conspiracy to cover up the Sandusky abuse. “Prosecutors have repeatedly said he was honest, forthcoming and there is no evidence that he was involved in a coverup,” said Paterno. After Sandusky’s indictment, Joe Paterno issued a statement saying, “With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more.” The younger Paterno said that comment was not an admission of wrongdoing, but to say,” ’I wish I could have caught this sooner,’ and we all do, and who wouldn’t want that?” When it comes to what Joe Paterno knew regarding the Sandusky child sexual abuse, Paterno said his father first became

Design for State High project expected by mid-2015 By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — A timeline for the State College High School renovation project is taking shape, with the design team reviewing a planned calendar with the school board Monday night. Ed Poprik, director of physical plant for the district, says since voters approved the referendum that secured funding for the $115 million project, designers have been busily working — formally starting the land development process, surveying and documenting existing conditions, and reviewing grant applications for additional project funding.

Design is expected to be complete by mid-2015, with drawings made available to the public during the process, specifically in October, January and April. The board will first review a preliminary design Monday, Oct. 13. High school staff and students will review the plan during the week of Monday, Oct. 20, and there will be a public forum the next week, beginning Monday, Oct. 27. Tentatively, a board work session is slated for Monday, Nov. 3. Construction is expected to begin next summer and take roughly 30 months. A construction management team will be on the high school campus for the duration of the project. In total, the team, which includes Poprik, has 137 years of

be funded through the appropriation of a current tax. Under the approved referendum, the resulting 7.2 percent tax increase will be determined based on a property’s assessed value. The district calculated the percentage tax increase based on the 2013-2014 property tax rate of 38.75 mills, or $38.75 per $1,000 of assessed value. In other news, Thomas McKee, insurance broker with The Hartman Group, reviewed potential insurance coverage for the district related to data breaches, network security and network extortion. The insurance can also cover civil liability.

experience working in the district. “I am very ecstatic to be able to put this kind of team forward at this point in time to be able to manage this kind of project,” said Poprik. Officials have described the two-building campus as unsafe. Students must cross two bus lanes and Westerly Parkway to get to different classes throughout the day. There are 93 doorways where students constantly go in and out that are not continually monitored. In May, voters overwhelmingly supported the project at State High. The total project cost is estimated at $115 million with a 5.3 percent interest rate and a term of 30 years. The $30 million balance will

Planning commission recommends approval of Fraser Centre plans By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — The State College Planning Commission is recommending approval of the plans for the long anticipated Fraser Centre. Commission members voted 4-to-0 last Thursday to recommend that borough council approve the plan. Members Charles Dumas, Richard Kalin and Michael Roeckel were absent. Gary Brandeis is one of the new developers and owners of the site on South Fraser Street at West Beaver Avenue. They took over the property in October and say the now vacant lot will be transformed into a 153-foot high structure with hotel, retail and residential space. A Hyatt hotel entrance will be on Beaver Avenue. The commission asked Brandeis how soon construction will begin. He said he’s reluctant to give a specific date, but the project will take roughly 22 months to complete. At the same time, he said a lot of work is being done “behind the scenes,” including final approvals with the borough and negotiations with retailers. State High, from page 4

CHRIS MORELLI/The Gazette

STATE HIGH senior Karli Nolan has been perfecting her game on the North East Junior Golf Tour this summer. She hopes to golf at the collegiate level next year. Nolan, from page 1

Unlike most team sports, golf relies very much on an individual’s performance. Team scores are compiled, of course, but a bad round can send a team to a loss. According to Nolan, it puts a lot of pressure on the golfer. However, it’s also what makes the game great, she said. “I was used to playing on sports teams like softball, basketball and even soccer when I was really young. That was a whole team effort. In golf, you have team support, but it’s really all you. If you mess up, it’s not anyone else’s fault. It’s your shot,” Nolan said. On the North East Junior Golf Tour this summer, Nolan has gained valuable experience and picked up some hardware along the way. In June, she dominated at the Mount Odin Golf Club in Greensburg. She shot an 83 and finished 10 strokes ahead of the second-place finisher. Also in June, Nolan shot an 85 at the Lenape Heights Golf Club, good for tops in the girls’ division. The summer tour has gotten her ready for the fall. Nolan is expecting big things from herself and her State High teammates. “I would love to get back to states. As a team, I would love for the team to get back to states, honestly. I know we have the potential to do that. We have a lot of good golfers coming back. That’s will be a main goal this year,” Nolan said. In addition to playing golf, Nolan is a member of the State High softball team. She’s a pitcher. “I’ve been playing softball since I was five,” Nolan said with a laugh. Even when softball season kicks into high gear, Nolan finds time to hit the links. “We don’t have softball on weekends, so that’s when I golf. Softball is pretty much after school every day so I golf on the weekends. On Sundays, I’ll go hit golf balls,” Nolan said. Nolan said that her parents, Sean and Brenda, have played a key role in her development as both a studentathlete and young adult. In addition to being a stellar golfer and softball player, Nolan is a star in the classroom. She can be found on State High’s honor roll. “They’re really big motivators,” Nolan said. “They don’t push me in a certain direction, but they support me in whatever I do. They’re great.” Nolan has an older sister, Erica, who is a senior at Penn College. As for taking her game to the next level, Nolan said that she would like to golf in college. She recently visited Clarion and has some other visits planned. “I’m going to try to visit as many schools as possible and figure out where I’m going,” she said. “I’m going to be a senior … that’s exciting and nerve-wracking. It hasn’t really hit me yet. I’m sure that once I walk through the doors and it’s my first day as a senior, it’s going to hit me.”

McKee estimates the annual premium for such coverage, including $1 million in liability for various breach issues, to be roughly $13,500. Currently, the district does not have insurance coverage for its data housed within the district or equipment that leaves the district, such as laptops and other devices, says Randy Brown, the district’s business administrator. Brown asked the board to consider the coverage. The board may vote on the matter at a future public meeting.

Barbour, from page 1 rates for some teams and stadium debt. The extent to which Barbour should be blamed and not the previous administration has been debated. In the end, Barbour said this was an opportunity she needed to look at and consider. And now, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at Penn State. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I sit here today because of what I learned about the people, and what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come to know about the Penn State family,â&#x20AC;? she said. Barbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first day will be Monday, Aug. 18. Joyner will be the athletic director until the day before and stay employed by Penn State and serve in a consultation role after Barbour starts. Barron said Joyner will help ensure that Barbour gets off to a fast start. Barbour said she wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait until her start day to begin crafting a plan, and sounded both excited and optimistic about the opportunities at Penn State. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you spend a professional lifetime serving institutions and student-athletes, you dream about coming to a place like Penn State,â&#x20AC;? Barbour said. While a compensation committee determined the salary and benefits for Barbour â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a $700,000 base salary for five years with the potential for bonuses and a yearly $100,000 retention bonus â&#x20AC;&#x201D; her selection was unanimous by the search committee, which included seven university administrators and was led by David Grey, the senior vice president for finance and business at Penn State. The press conference wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t without questions about several problems Barbour encountered at Cal. The football and menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball teams had extremely poor graduation rates â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the football team was the lowest among major-conference squads, while basketball ranked last out of Pac-12 schools. There were additional problems, according to newspaper reports, such as Calâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inability to pay off its stadium debt and athletic center, and the decline of the on-field success of the football team. In response, Barron said he called Calâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chancellor and was convinced those challenges wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t transfer to Penn State, and was told that Barbour was a champion for student-athletes. And Barbour said the poor graduation rates were â&#x20AC;&#x153;unacceptable.â&#x20AC;? After the press conference, Barron continued answering questions in a smaller group. He spoke to Barbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vast experiences of serving different colleges in a variety of leadership roles; among other places, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked at Notre Dame and Tulane and made significant hires, Barron said. Throw in Barbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to continuing her education by earning advanced degrees, and Barron feels confident Barbour was the right hire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collecting experiences,â&#x20AC;? Barron said, relaying Barbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s track record. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All those separate experiences add up, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what a really big, successful program needs, is someone with that level of breadth of experience.â&#x20AC;?

Q&A, from page 1 helps whenever youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a leadership position that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in positions underneath that, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve kind of seen it all and done it all. No different than any other industry, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great if you get into a management or a CEO-type of position that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done multiple roles building up to that because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to help you relate to the people and the challenges with their jobs. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s any doubt that thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helpful, that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sat in a coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoes before and now is in an administrative position.â&#x20AC;? ROB COOPER, Penn State baseball coach, on what stands out to him about Barbour: â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was the AD at Tulane when I was an assistant coach there, and one of the things I remember and this has always stood out to me: I was the No. 2 assistant coach at Tulane and it was my first day actually on the job and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m over in the batting cages, and all of a sudden this woman comes walking across the field to come say hello to me, and it was Sandy Barbour. And I just felt, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the AD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at the time, she was the acting AD and then became the AD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I just always thought that was pretty professional and very impressive, and it made a lasting impression on me.â&#x20AC;? When you have an opportunity to speak with her, what are you hoping to ask her, and is there anything youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to share from your perspective? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to hear her a little more in-depth about what her vision is. I know sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been very successful

JEFF TAMBRONI, Penn State menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lacrosse coach, on his initial impressions of Barbour: â&#x20AC;&#x153;My impression would be excitement. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting to have the baton passed from Dr. Joyner on to Sandy. She seems to have a great deal of passion, just looking at her resume and listening to her accomplishments, she has an extremely capable background to lead our department. I was excited about the way she tied in our community, our faculty, our athletes and our coaches. Obviously, I think the challenges are great, but she seems extremely excited to face them head-on. I think if nothing else, the stability of a new president and a new AD will provide a little bit more consistency with our coaching staff and athletes, and hopefully provide for a wonderful future.â&#x20AC;? When a new athletic director is hired, how important is it to make a connection with him or her and work together? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an essential piece. â&#x20AC;Ś Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never met her, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to getting to know her. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be an important piece for our program, for lacrosse, especially, that we have a relationship of trust and share the same vision about what she believes a lacrosse program can look like, as well as just what the athletic department can look like, well into the future.

Opinion

Is parenting being criminalized? Debra Harrell was arrested recently after the McDonald’s employee let her daughter spend the day playing in a nearby park while she worked her shift. The South Carolina woman says her daughter had a cellphone in case of danger, and critics say that children once were given the independence to spend a few unsupervised hours in a park. Is it a crime to parent “free-range” kids? Does Harrell deserve her problems? Columnists Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk debate the issue.

The pundits beating their chests and filling talk radio airwaves are missing the point. We’re not criminalizing parenting. We’re criminalizing poverty. And that’s a very old story indeed. Debra Harrell didn’t set her child free in a park out of any sense of trying to create an independent young woman: She did so because she had to work and couldn’t afford child care. She didn’t make the wrong choice; she just couldn’t afford to make any better a choice. The result? She got thrown in jail and embarrassed publicly, all because she was trying to find the sweet spot between the conflicting demands of raising a child. It’s a conundrum that millions of the working poor understand intimately. Notwithstanding the blather of Mitt Romney types who believe that “47 percent” of Americans are takers, lazily relying on governmental largess

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

I’m worried that we’re no longer teaching students how to think critically or to write well. Everything I’m hearing from teachers, students and parents suggests that, with the standardized testing epidemic sweeping through our nation’s public schools, what we’re teaching the next generation is how to fill in the blanks and work from templates. Success, innovation and productivity rarely rely on answers derived from a multiple-choice format. Think about it for a minute: Is it ever the good guys who ask, “Do you want: a) Your money? b) Your life?” We’re producing answer-givers when what we need are problemsolvers. The most important question a child asks of his or her teacher shouldn’t be, “Is this going to be on the test?” American students are forfeiting creativity, inspiration and contextual understanding in order to do better on high-stakes exams. It’s a meretricious trade. If students learn exclusively what can be measured, what can’t be measured will no longer be taught. Think writing. Think critical thinking. Think music, art, public speaking. Think citizenship. I fear the next generation of American students will end up like those impaired souls on reality television who think that Mozart was a writer, that “arugula” is what’s being chanted in the background of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” and that “From each according to his ability, to each ac-

instead of making their own way in the world, many of those folks are working as hard as they can — and still need help to clothe, feed and care for their families. And yet, it is adults — not the stereotypical teens working their first jobs — who increasingly fill those positions. Harrell and those like her need more help than they’re getting. We need child care that doesn’t cost more than a poor parent earns. We need rules to govern when a parent is on call for work, so that they can make the proper care arrangements. If we’re going to require work — and the logic of our welfare laws since the 1990s says we do — then it is unnecessarily cruel to turn our backs on parents who only have so many hours to give.

BEN BOYCHUK

Oh, but we are criminalizing parenting. And by “we,” I mean overly concerned passers-by who believe that dangerous predators lurk behind every park bench and overzealous police who see any unaccompanied child as a would-be victim of abuse and neglect. Think about Debra Harrell’s case. She made the best of a less-than-ideal situation, permitting her daughter to play in the park instead of keeping her cooped up at McDonald’s all day. Somebody thought the child might have been abandoned or in danger, but that clearly wasn’t true,

as a simple phone call would have established. Somebody assumed something would go horribly wrong. The only thing that went wrong was the bystander’s overreaction and the local police response, which led to Harrell’s arrest and firing. Lenore Skenazy, the godmother of the “free-range kids” movement, rightly calls this “worst-first thinking.” It’s a matter of maintaining proper perspective. Reliable statistics are hard to come by — the last comprehensive study was published 12 years ago — but if the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children can be believed, the vast majority of children are taken not by strangers but by other family members. The number of “stereotypical kidnappings” — abductions by strangers, with children taken miles away and either “killed, ransomed or held with the intent to keep the child permanently” — is vanishingly small in a nation of 300 million. Maintaining perspective also requires knowing the difference between leaving a child in a car for a few minutes on a cool day and deliberately leaving a child to die in the sweltering heat. One of the most pernicious beliefs to take hold in American culture may be, “You can’t be too careful.” Clearly, yes, we can.

cording to his needs” is from the U.S. Constitution. Rigorous independent schools, which have always been quite literally the playgrounds of the privileged, know this. They recognize the artisanal nature of teaching. Unfettered by the common or the core, their students reach for the extraordinary and the cutting edge. Their instructors are encouraged to have students dig deep, go far and come up with their own answers. Don’t public school students also deserve to have their curiosity inspired instead of managed? If the next generation of public school students fails, in part it will be because we made them spend 12 years playing a scholastic version of “Mad Libs,” throwing random words into the air in the hope that some will land in an appropriate spot. As Les Perelman — the former director of undergraduate writing at MIT— famously put it: “You’re getting teachers to train students to be bad writers.” It’s called high-stakes testing, by the way, because, like gambling, it appears to offer a fair shot at winning while the odds remain against those who come in with their pockets nearly empty. No coach, no test prep, no tutors, no money to keep retaking the test, no small, individualized classes? No luck. Yet fans of fanatical testing argue that only what is measured can be improved; it’s like Weight Watchers for the mind. There are a lot of scales, but there’s no accounting for taste. The real point is this: Can you measure education? Does it come in R

ounces, in diplomas, in the number of assessments per semester, in density, in money earned after graduation or in eureka moments? And who decides? As they are taught now, students have bits and pieces of information but no internalized means permitting them to comprehend or discover patterns. True, they will know how to look up facts and they’ll be able to accumulate data. This is limiting. They’ll think they only need to know enough geography to use the navigation system in their car. In truth, they’ll need a world map. Our students — our children — should be able to make themselves understood in the global community and not just take a stab at vocabulary words. Neither a Frommer’s travel guide nor “An Idiot’s Guide to the Future” will help. Those who test well sometimes can’t articulate their own ideas; those who communicate with originality and grace sometimes can’t fill in the right bubble. We know it’s essential to read between the lines to get a job and to keep one. Those who can only read the writing on the wall when it has a single, concrete meaning will be unable to survive in the increasingly competitive international economy. There are no shortcuts to learning. If we don’t teach our students to write well, our nation’s history will soon be written by others.

Summer is a good time to address behavior problems HERSHEY — Summertime is a time for sun and fun, but with kids spending more time at home, it could also be a time of whining and bickering. After weeks of the kids being out of school, some parents have had enough of their behavior and are counting the days until they go back. Some may also be wondering how much of the defiant behavior is normal and when it’s time to seek help. According to Dr. Daniel Waschbusch, of the Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute and a professor at Penn State College of Medicine, defiance includes a child saying “no” to a request, sitting and doing nothing when the child is expected to do something, and continuing a behavior that the child has been asked to stop. This typical childhood behavior becomes an issue of concern when the defiance is ongoing or severe. “If it’s getting in the way of the quality of their relationship with the parent or their schooling — if it’s impacting their social life either directly or indirectly, that’s when it’s time to ask for help,” Waschbusch said. Noncompliance associated with other antisocial behaviors like verbal or physical aggression is a particular cause for concern. Both boys and girls have antisocial tendencies. Boys tend to fight, while girls tend to have relational aggression or sometimes indirect aggression. “So girls will be more likely to start rumors or gossip or use social relationships to be aggressive,” Waschbusch said. Research suggests that the rates of relational aggression in girls are about the same as physical or verbal aggression in boys. Here are some strategies for dealing with these kinds of behaviors: ■ Address the issue before it gets worse. Antisocial behaviors do not go away. If not addressed, additional issues will arise. Not dealing with the issues increases the risk of

delinquency in adolescence and adulthood, and could affect relationships. ■ Establish rules. Have house rules that are very clear about the things that are most likely to lead to conflicts or to noncompliance. Kids will know that’s the rule and that battle won’t have to be fought over and over again. ■ Give clear commands. Rather than saying, “Would you mind going up to your room and picking up your toys sometime?” say, “Go to your room and pick up your toys right now.” Be clear and concise, and give a specific time frame. ■ Give instruction when you’re sure you have the child’s attention. Don’t give an instruction while the child is playing video games. Chances are he is going to be attending to the video game and not attending to you. ■ Give the child warning. It’s better to warn a child in advance that he is going to bed soon rather than waiting and telling him it’s time to go right now. Any warning can make a big difference. ■ Reward the positive. Acknowledge and reward the positive behavior you want to see. “You want to make sure you’re predictably giving them attention for their positive behaviors and not only ever addressing the bad,” he said. ■ Use it as a learning experience. “If your child is doing things that annoy an adult or an adult considers inappropriate, it may be a good thing to communicate that,” he said. Children need to understand what’s appropriate and what’s not. ■ Have a game plan. Prevent a situation from escalating by preparing strategies in advance. Doing this removes thinking on the spot and relying on emotions. Avoid intensifying a conflict by having your playbook ready. ■ Think long term. Think about it as an ongoing process. Keep at it. Improvements will be seen over time but don’t expect everything to get better by a certain date. Behavior doesn’t change overnight. And, remember, sometimes it gets worse before it gets better.

Penn Staters research macrophages, IBS HERSHEY — Learning the role of immune system cells in healthy digestive tracts and how they interact with neighboring nerve cells may lead to new treatments for irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS. Researchers from Penn State College of Medicine, in collaboration with other scientists, have reported the role of macrophages in regulating the contractions of the colon to push digested material through the digestive tract. The muscular lining of the intestine contains a distinct kind of macrophage, an immune system cell that helps fight infections. The role of these cells in normal colon function is not known, although they have been linked to inflammation after abdominal surgery. “Very little is known about the function of muscularis macrophages, mainly because these cells are difficult to isolate from intestinal tissue,” said Milena Bogunovic, assistant professor of microbiology and immunology. Digested material is moved through the intestines by the contraction and relaxation of intestinal muscles. The pattern and frequency of these contractions are controlled by the signals from the intestinal nervous system. In patients with diseases like IBS, the signals are overactive and stimulation is exaggerated. The researchers developed a method to deplete muscularis macrophages in the intestines of mice to determine their function. They reported their findings in Cell. “After macrophage depletion, we observed that the normal intestinal movements are irregular, probably because the muscular contractions were poorly coordinated, suggesting that intestinal movements are regulated by macrophages,” Bogunovic said.

After confirming the role of the macrophages in the function of the digestive tract, the researchers looked for how the regulation happens. They compared the genetic code of different types of macrophages to find non-immune genes highly active in muscularis macrophages, identifying bone morphogenetic protein 2. BMP2 is one of a family of proteins thought to control organ development. Blocking the effect of BMP2 mirrored the effects of the macrophage removal, confirming that the protein is used for regulation of intestinal movements. The BMP2 is used by neighboring nerve cells, intestinal neurons, which in turn secrete a protein called colony stimulatory factor 1 (CSF1) that supports macrophages. “Two completely different cell types help each other to carry one key function, to regulate the physiology of the gut,” Bogunovic said. The interactions between the two types are orchestrated by the “good” bacteria in the intestine that aids in healthy digestion. By giving mice antibiotics to kill off the bacteria, the communication between macrophages and neurons is interrupted, resulting in decreased BMP2 and CSF1 production and disrupted intestinal contractions. By restoring the “good” bacteria in the mice, the miscommunication between macrophages and neurons is reversed, showing that the dialogue between the macrophages and nervous system is adaptable to the changes in the bacterial environment. A potential cause of IBS is a change in the bacterial environment in the intestine. “By better understanding how the nervous system cells, the muscularis macrophages and signals from inside the intestine interact, we may be able to find new treatments for IBS, or even prevent it,” Bogunovic said.

Pleasant Gap Fire Co. celebrates 100 years of service By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

PLEASANT GAP — The Pleasant Gap Fire Company held its annual carnival July 23 through July 26, with the parade taking place on July 24. The parade marched through Pleasant Gap on Main Street to the carnival grounds on Robinson Lane. The hour-long spectacle featured the Bellefonte High School marching band, the Nittany Highlands Pipe Band and numerous floats, majorette corps, antique vehicles, marching units, firefighting equipment and more. This year’s events were a special celebration of the 100th year of the Pleasant Gap Fire Company. Pennsylvania State Fire Commissioner Ed Mann served as the parade’s grand marshal, riding in a 1936 Dodge fire truck that still remains in the company’s stable of equipment. Fire companies from all around Centre County, as well as units from Lamar, Avis and South Renovo in Clinton County, ran vehicles in the parade, some bearing congratulatory banners to honor the century-old firefighting unit. Pleasant Gap Fire Company Number One was incorporated on April 14, 1914, in the Centre County Court of Common Pleas. There is evidence that organization of the entity may have begun in 1912 or 1913. Ten members signed the application before the judge, and the company had about 30 members at its beginning. The first fire house was built along Horntown Road (now Harrison Road)

around 1915. Money for the construction was solicited from the townspeople and from festivals and plays that were presented. When the Pleasant Gap Hotel closed in 1915, its owner, John C. Mulfinger, donated the hotel’s bell for the fire house. The bell was housed in a bell tower on the building’s roof. The bell tower is long gone, but the building still stands as a private residence. The first piece of firefighting apparatus was a four-wheeled hand hose cart purchased from the Undine Fire Company in Bellefonte. Men pulled the cart on foot to the fires. In the early years, citizens were alerted to fires by a steam whistle owned by the White Rock Quarry Company (now Graymont). A coded pattern of long and short blasts that indicated the location of a fire. In 1951, the company moved its headquarters to a former furniture store it purchased on College Avenue. It held two fire engines, but more space was needed, so in 1965 an addition with four engine bays facing College Avenue was built. In 1992, the facility was again expanded, with three more bays to serve as an ambulance garage and wash bay. Finally, in 2005 the company broke ground for a spacious, modern facility along Robinson Lane adjacent to the carnival grounds. This is the current home of the company. It features a meeting room, kitchen, lounge, workshop, offices, two bunk rooms and space for 10 vehicles. Will McCloskey, of Pleasant Gap, is a 47year veteran of the Pleasant Gap Fire Company. He remembers two very bad fires the

One was at Gray’s Auto Service in Axemann. “It was in the winter, and it was cold and windy,” said McCloskey. “I was the nozzle man, and the water blew on me and froze solid. I had to be treated at the hospital.” The second was at a trailer owned by a man named Emory Wooll, and was also in the winter, according to McCloskey.

“Those were both really bad fires,” he said. McCloskey said that the fire company membership peaked at nearly 300 members at one time. McCloskey’s dedication is typical of many long-time members of the company. The group contains multi-generational families who have served the community for more than half of its 100-year existence.

Rebersburg church hosts choir festival By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

REBERSBURG — Sixteen singers representing 10 choirs in the Penns Valley area attended a church choir festival held at St. Peter’s United Church of Christ in Rebersburg last week. The event, hosted by Pastor Julie Holm, consisted of instructional time in the morning, followed by a worship service after lunch. Leading the event was Chad Steffey, who served for 20 years in the U. S. Air Force before his retirement. For five of those years he was the director of the Singing Sergeants, a group of 20 activeduty professional singers who make up the official chorus of the U.S. Air Force. Steffey toured with the group, performing in 40 American states and 13 foreign countries. According to Steffey, the Sing-

ing Sergeants’ performances serve as tools for recruiting, community relations, troop morale and diplomacy. Holm was glad to have Steffey leading the group. “We hope to learn a few things from Chad, and also to have a good time worshipping in song,” she said. Steffey warmed up the choir with stretching and breathing exercises, stressing the importance of proper warm-up to present a good performance. “Carry the tone on the breath,” he advised the singers. He also noted the importance of balance in group singing, cautioning the singers not to overpower other singers in the choir. The music used in the festival included several adaptations of familiar hymns, as well as liturgical music composed by Steffey.

Bennett tackles faux pas topics in his children’s books By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — Burps. Farts. Poop. Usually adults scold children when they bring up these faux pas subjects in public. But children’s author Artie Bennett tackles those topics in his nonfiction picture books, “The Butt Book,” “Poopendus!” and “Belches, Burps and Farts — Oh My!” During a reading Thursday at the Schlow Centre Region Library, Bennett brought the books to life as listening children giggled and asked questions. He explains, through his books, the various uses of waste — building cow dung huts, fertilizer, county fair cow plop bingo. And he lets kids know that yes, everyone, passes gas. Bennett, of Brooklyn, N.Y., said afterward he writes about subject matter he thinks will get kids excited about reading. “In addition to just being informed about how fascinating these topics are, I hope they take away a love for books,” he said.

barded by electronic stimuli,” said Bennett, making it more challenging to draw a child to a traditional, printed book. “Just the simple pleasure of reading can often be overlooked,” he said. By writing about burps and butts in “wholesome, sweet” ways, Bennett said his books appeal to all children, especially boys and reluctant readers. “It’s gratifying to see kids excited, not about something I’ve written, but about books in general,” he said.

Flutopia 5K benefits charity, aims to inspire musicians By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State flute instructor Naomi Seidman may have been leading five other flute players in a rendition of “Flight of the Bumblebee,” but it was the runners gathered on the grass of Tom Tudek Memorial Park who took flight when she began to play. Saturday morning was the second annual Flutopia 5K race, a charity event to benefit the local nonprofit Centre Volunteers in Medicine and international charity Doctors Without Borders. At intervals along the path through the park, groups of musicians played jazz, swing, percussive tribal beats and everything in between. State College resident Cyndy Kochakian said, “Flutopia is easily one of the more fun races in town.” A frequent participant in various races, she’s used to the steady burn that comes with running — but she says that the music at Saturday’s race helped her persevere as she grew tired. “It gives you something to look forward to as you make each in turn in the race,” Kochakian said. “It really keeps you going.” Event organizer and professional flutist Cathy Herrera says she started the Flutopia Intiative — which aims to “inspire musicians to change the world, one concert at a time” — last year after hearing her friends tell stories about medical missions trips they’d been on around the world.

She saw the charity event as a way to use her skills as a musician to support bringing medical care to the uninsured both in Centre County and across the globe. As a member of eight ensembles and orchestras in the area, Herrera says all she had to do was ask the musicians she knew to play. When hearing of her goal to raise money for charity, she says not a single musician turned her down. Seidman says she doesn’t often have the chance to contribute to a good cause and play her instrument at the same time. “That’s what makes the opportunity to play today so special, because it’s so rare,” she said. Herrera says she hopes that Saturday’s event can inspire other musicians to use their talents to give back to the world around them. Though the Flutopia Intiative is still young, it’s growing. More than 200 people came out for the race, which is roughly twice the turnout from last year. For Herrera, the race is also a way of honoring her family. Having grown up in a household with a father who coached track and cross-country and a musician mother, the Flutopia 5K is a “a wonderful opportunity to combine those elements that I grew up with.” For Orbisonia, Pa., native and former marathon runner Jim Daniel, the combination of athletics and music helped provide “a great bonding experience” with his family on Saturday morning.

MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT/StateCollege.com

SATURDAY’S FLUTOPIA 5K race drew more than 200 runners to Tom Tudek Memorial Park — almost double the turnout from last year.

Get ready to sweat: Hot yoga arrives in town By JESSICA TULLY StateCollege.com

CANOE SUSQUEHANNA has been helping folks enjoy canoeing and kayaking for almost two decades. There are trips in Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland and Virginia.

Summer day getaway: Hit the Susquehanna By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

Just as the Susquehanna River has helped shape Pennsylvania’s landscape, it has also helped shape the commonwealth’s culture. Its name adorns banks, universities and counties, while its majestic body covers nearly 500 miles on its way to the sea. Betsy Quant, one of the founders of Canoe Susquehanna, says that she’s often heard customers say that they’ve lived in Pennsylvania for decades without ever venturing onto the river’s tranquil waters. “We’ve had folks say that they’ve crossed over the river on bridges over and over while living in the valley,” Quant said. “When they finally get on the river with us, they’re so delighted and they say, ‘We wish we’d done this years ago.’” Canoe Susquehanna is a family business run by Quant, her husband and their sons. She says their goal is to create “a seamless blend of learning and just having fun” while they guide public and private trips on both the north and west branches of the Susquehanna. Based about an hour away from State College in Lewisburg, Canoe Susquehanna offers kayak and canoe rides for anyone interested in experiencing this major Pennsylvanian landmark, regardless of age or boating skill. Having already served riders

ranging from ages 2 to 93, and everything in between, Quant says the trip is great for the whole family. “Our trips have always been for both beginners and the more advanced, and we’ve maintained that for 40 years,” she said. “We don’t just rent you the boats, either — we go out with you on the water and make sure you have the best time you possibly can.” Public trips are typically held once a weekend, and require at least one day’s notice so the staff can prepare the necessary boats and equipment. Private trips are also offered, which Quant says are perfect for company retreats and other organizations. Having taken trips with groups ranging from just a couple people to more than 80, Quant says Canoe Susquehanna is the perfect destination for families of any size. “One of things that makes us interesting is that our trips are always in a different location,” Quant said. “We repeat ourselves maybe three times a season for public trips.” Quant says as they rotate through their various trips, they cover long stretches of the river’s north and west branches — offering a unique perspective on central Pennsylvania and the “geologic, environmental and human history” of the Susquehanna River.

STATE COLLEGE — The worldwide phenomenon many people have yearned for has arrived in State College: hot yoga. Bikram Hot Yoga State College is now offering classes as the exercise and fitness business heats up. Edward Silver, one of the studio’s partners, says all the classes offered are for beginners. The program, called Bikram yoga, leads participants through 26 poses and two breathing exercises inside a studio heated to 105 degrees and 40 percent humidity for a total of 90 minutes. “This amalgam of precise components relies on poses plucked from the world’s yoga repertoire and arranged into a sequence that progressively stretches the entire body,” Silver said. “The sweltering temperatures are meant to work in tandem with the poses to render limbs more pliable while encouraging sweat to ferry toxins out of the body.” He estimates participants burn up to 1,000 calories in one hot yoga session. Silver says countless individuals around the world who suffer from diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, obesity, anxiety and depression have benefited from Bikram yoga. “Bikram yoga heals every cell in the body,” Silver said. “Every tissue and every organ is healed while boosting the im-

mune system and increasing oxygen to every gland, cell and tissue.” All of the instructors at Bikram Hot Yoga State College are certified by the Yoga College of India, which involves an extensive 700-hour course taught by four-time All-India National Yoga champion Yogiraj Bikram Choudhury and his wife, fivetime All-India Yoga Champion Rajashree Choudhury. Since its May opening, the studio has drawn about 30 participants each day. The capacity of the room is 70 people, although there are plans to eventually accommodate up to 100 customers. There seems to be no shortage of yoga studios in State College, but Silver said he isn’t worried about attracting business. It is, after all, the only hot yoga studio in State College. The popularity of hot yoga has significantly increased during the past few years. Silver said there are certified Bikram instructors at more than 1,200 studios worldwide. Bikram Hot Yoga State College is located at 312 W. Beaver Ave in the Palmerton building. A single class is $12, a onemonth unlimited pass is $89, a 10-class pass is $100 and a one-year unlimited pass is $899. Classes are held Mondays through Fridays at 5:30 p.m. and Saturdays at 10 a.m. The schedule will expand to accommodate the influx of Penn State students in the fall.

Civil War Round Table to meet

BOALSBURG — The Central Pennsylvania Civil War Round Table will meet at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 5, at the Pennsylvania Military Museum auditorium, 51 Boal Ave., Boalsburg. John Quarstein will speak on “The Battle of Mobile Bay.” The Battle of Mobile Bay, Ala., occurred exactly 150 years ago on Aug. 5. This Civil War naval engagement featured Union Rear Adm. David Farragut, assisted by a contingent of soldiers, who attacked a fleet led by Confederate Adm. Franklin Buchanan and three forts that guarded the entrance to Mobile Bay. Quarstein is an award-winning historian, preservationist, lecturer and author.

He worked for 30 years as the director of the Virginia War Museum and as consultant to The Mariners’ Museum’s Monitor Center. He currently serves as a historian for the city of Newport News, Va. Quarstein is the author of 14 books and has produced, narrated and written several PBS documentaries. He also is the recipient of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s 1993 President’s Award for Historic Preservation. Anyone who is interested in the Civil War or in joining the Central Pennsylvania Civil War Round Table is invited to attend. For more information, contact Lynn Herman at (814) 861-0770.

Area districts embrace technology to benefit students By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

pen until sometime after the school year starts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to make sure the teachers receive the professional development they need because the devices are different than the Macbooks that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using,â&#x20AC;? Steele said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to make sure weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re providing the training support and professional development for teachers, but also that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re communicating with parents. We want to make sure that all of that planning is in place and shared with parents before we move forward.â&#x20AC;? Later in the school year, sixth- and seventh-graders will also receive Chromebooks to use during the school day as well, Cunningham said. This year, Bellefonte middle and high school students will also have the opportunity to participate in more STEM â&#x20AC;&#x201D; science, technology, engineering and math â&#x20AC;&#x201D; classes. This summer, the district website was also redesigned and is now more compatible with mobile devices, Roth said. This will come in handy when there is a school closing and delay, as he predicts that most parents and students will look this information up on their mobile device instead of a desktop computer. One of the greatest benefits with implementing education-based technology, Roth said, is the increased student engagement, which means more collaboration and information sharing, he said. Another change in technology that State College Area School District has seen is the switch from having cable in classrooms to using Xbox Media Center, Cunningham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Essentially, cable television is no longer feasible for us,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have an antiquated system so we would have to move to digital cable. Teachers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t watch cable TV in school anymore.â&#x20AC;? Nicholas Zepp, the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s network systems manager, proposed Xbox Media Center as a cost-effective solution instead of switching to digital cable. The system is hooked up to the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s network, so teachers can access particular videos and educational material, Cunningham said.

New technology advances happen daily and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no exception in the classroom. Area school districts have been incorporating technology into their curriculum and instruction for years, but routine upgrades take place regularly to ensure that students, teachers and administrators all have the best support possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal is to get technology in the hands of every student more consistently,â&#x20AC;? said Andrew Cunningham, an instructional technology specialist and academic literacy teacher at Park Forest Middle School. The State College Area School District has piloted several devices at various levels in the past several years. Previously, groups of teachers would share a cart of computers. Several years ago, all eighth-graders received Macbooks to both use at school and home for their work. Just last year, however, eighth-graders received Google Chromebooks to use at school, but they were no longer taken home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year went really well,â&#x20AC;? Cunningham said. The Chromebooks run most of the programs that students use daily for their schoolwork, he said, so in the end, they won out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still going to have laptop carts. Google is our most widely used tool, but we identified that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the device to dictate what happens in the classroom,â&#x20AC;? said Nicole Steele, director of technology at State College Area School District. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having those Macbook carts there will ensure the teachers will have what they need to be able to do whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for their students.â&#x20AC;? Technology as an educational tool has also come a long way in the Bellefonte Area School District as well, according to instructional technology specialist Arlin Roth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things have changed quickly,â&#x20AC;? Roth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very exciting.â&#x20AC;? One of the biggest changes that have recently taken place, he said, is curriculum revisions, particularly for reading and language arts, math and science classes. This led to technology upgrades, including the installation of interactive white boards and projectors in most district Youth Cross Cross Country Country Program classrooms. Youth Program Last year, the district also made the transition to using Practice August 26 to November 23, at State College High School Practice August 26 to November 23, at State College High School Ages 8-1826 / Tuesday - Thursday23, 5:45-7:15 pm; Sun, 4:00-5:30 pmSchool Chromebooks and Google Apps for Education as well. Practice August to November at State College High Ages 8-18 / Tuesday - Thursday 5:45-7:15 pm; Sun, 4:00-5:30 pm â&#x20AC;&#x153;This allows students and teachers to be able to share Ages Practice 26- to November 23, at pm; StateSun, College High School 8-18 / August Tuesday Thursday 5:45-7:15 4:00-5:30 pm documents through a free platform,â&#x20AC;? Roth said. It was Ages 8-18 / Tuesday - Thursday 5:45-7:15 pm; Sun, 4:00-5:30 pm previously only used for teachers. Since the transition to district-wide availability, it has eliminated issues that some students have when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing work at home, like computer software compatibility. The use of Chromebooks will be expanding for the upcoming school year, Roth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the elementary schools, students only have computer class about once every six days,â&#x20AC;? he said. By buying more Chromebooks, it gives teachers access to show their www.ntfxc.com â&#x20AC;˘ 814-876-0461 students things earlier. www.ntfxc.com â&#x20AC;˘ 814-876-0461 Moving forward in the State College Area School District, the objective is to provide high school and Delta Program students with their own Chromebooks to use during www.ntfxc.comâ&#x20AC;˘ 814-876-0461 â&#x20AC;˘ 814-876-0461 www.ntfxc.com the school day and at home, Steele said.

TECHNOLOGY HAS BECOME an integral part of the classroom. Area students, teachers and administrators have been able to incorporate it into curriculum, making education a more wellrounded experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s similar to Netflix or Amazon Prime,â&#x20AC;? he said. If a teacher does want to broadcast a live television program in the classroom, he just has to call the help desk and ask them to stream it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expanding that to all â&#x20AC;Ś schools this year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saving the district a lot of money as opposed to bringing in digital cable,â&#x20AC;? Steele said.

Summer checkups just what the doctor ordered By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

Summer is a great time to bring children to their primary care physicians for annual visits, which typically include an evaluation of physical health. “It doesn’t necessarily need to be before school,” said Caryl Waite, a physician assistant with Mount Nittany Physician Group Pediatrics. However, this is the time of year Waite’s practice sees most of their patients because it’s usually more convenient than during the school year for both the patients and their parents. During these visits, Waite said, a child’s physical health will be evaluated. This includes an examination to check weight, height, hearing and vision. Any needed lab work will also be done, she said, to screen for things like high cholesterol if there’s a family history of that. In addition, any necessary vaccines or boosters are also usually given at this time. “The school requirements … begin with the core vaccinations at infancy and generally are completed by age 2,” said Dr. Lela Brink, a pediatrician with Geisinger at Gray’s Woods. Certain vaccine boosters are also recommended about every five years. “People have all kinds of feelings about vaccines,” Brink said. “I respect (parents’) ability to make decisions about their families.” “We understand that people want what’s best for their kids,” Waite said. “Some reasons patients choose not to get vaccinated can be because they are sick or going on vacation. Or they might just not be mentally in a place to do so.” There is always the option for patients to go back in to get what they need at a later time, she said. If parents or guardians aren’t comfortable with their children getting certain vac-

cines after discussing it with their primary care physicians, they can request waivers from their school. Brink encourages all of her patients, whether they are getting vaccinated or not, to still attend all of the well-child checks, which take place every year to two depending on the child’s age. Not all of the well-child checks are required for school, but Brink suggests them as a way to identify issues, such as possible developmental problems. “But I think trying to prevent or trying to address early any behavioral, emotional or educational problems, especially in the elementary school adaptive years, are really important,” Brink said. While many may think that this is the best time to address the physical health of a child, many area pediatricians are also taking the time to evaluate their patient’s mental health and discuss stresses. “I really do think vaccines are one thing to talk about when children come in,” Brink said. “It’s a reason to get them in the office. But I think a bigger reason is to address the growth and developmental issues in the adaptation to schools and new environments.” When a patient comes in, Waite said that both the patient and the parent or guardian, if attending, will receive a checklist that asks about things such as depression, loneliness, relationships with friends, and other similar social and mental health questions. Brink said it helps if her patients come in with specific questions or concerns, if they’re having any. “I always tell my patients, especially adolescents,” she said, “when they’re worrying about their bodies and changes, is to try to make a list. When you walk into the doctor’s office, you forget all of those things you wanted to ask.” Brink also thinks it’s important for par-

IT’S RECOMMENDED that school-age children see their primary care physician annually for a physical. Both physical and mental health will be assessed at the visit. ents to be tuned to anything their children might be going through. “One of the things I tell my parents is that the most important job we have in life is making our children feel comfortable about who they are. Everyone is different.

Especially if you walk to the beat of a different drum or if your priorities are different than who you go to school with.” In this sense, emotional health should be just as discussed and is as important as mental health, Brink said.

As school year begins, remember to eat healthfully By KENDALL RUSSELL

correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Between the United Statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; widespread obesity epidemic and still-limping economy, many parents find it a challenge to meet their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dietary needs. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the childhood obesity rate has more than doubled in the past 30 years, with more than a third of children and adolescents classified as overweight or obese. Fast food restaurants are an easy target, but they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only enemy. What we should really watch out for, according to home chef LaCreta Holland, are processed foods. Holland is a mother of four who spent years in Italy honing her culinary skills. She also teaches a variety of cooking classes out of her own home, covering basic skills such as baking bread, as well as more intermediate recipes like authentic Italian bolognese. Her advice? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Try to eat real food that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been pre-prepared. When people eat processed

food and get away from real food, it gets them used to so much salt and so much sugar that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even realize,â&#x20AC;? Holland said. An unnecessary amount of additives isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just limited to pre-packaged candy, snacks and desserts, though. Holland noted that even canned pizza dough, for example, tastes extremely sweet because of all the added sugar. Holland believes that one of the keys to getting kids to eat healthfully is to involve them in the food making process from an early age. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gardens are a great way to show kids where food comes from,â&#x20AC;? Holland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To see something grow is actually very exciting for young children. Most kids, particularly elementary school children, are fascinated by that growing process.â&#x20AC;? According to Holland, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to see the source of your food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see where your food comes from, you take for granted that what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eating is OK,â&#x20AC;? Holland said. Holland doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe cooking has to be a long, difficult process. Many of her own recipes are surprisingly simple and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require any culinary expertise to pull

Another of her personal favorites, the Penn State Meat Lab on Porter Road, often has great deals on pork, beef, lamb, poultry and eggs. Holland said that if she could give one lasting piece of advice to all moms out there, it would be to â&#x20AC;&#x153;let your children help in the kitchen.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be some spilled flour, the benefit youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to receive from teaching them how to cook is that they will be very capable of taking care of themselves when they leave home,â&#x20AC;? she said. Hollandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, www.happyvalleylearntocook.com, features her recipes, local food information and a listing of her home cooking courses.

off just a little bit of effort. A pita with shredded cheese, thinly sliced cucumbers and other vegetables makes for a delicious and easy-to-prepare lunch. Send your child to school with homemade pesto pasta, which uses only five ingredients and can be eaten cold, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will be the most popular kid at the lunch table,â&#x20AC;? said Holland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to cook, learn how to cook,â&#x20AC;? Holland advised. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not hard to make simple things. Make cooking for your family a priority, and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be expensive organic food.â&#x20AC;? The best way to save money and still eat healthfully is to buy local, Holland said. She recommends visiting farmers markets.

Teachers get ready to head back to the classroom grams seamlessly. Having a set time for penmanship is time consuming and not as inviting as a learning experience.” Teachers meet in a variety of places for educational development. It could be a district office or just a local restaurant where a few persons discuss a book that has been recommended for continuing education. There are classes available through Penn State and seminars that can be taken online. Act 48 requires that teachers gain many credits in the first five years of teaching for permanent certification. “Beyond that, the enrichment helps them stay current, learn new technology, and stay fresh and excited about teaching,” Foard said. Foard and other teachers I spoke with reported taking classes on Google Docs, iPad use and other technologyrelated topics to enable them to use those skills in their classrooms. Teachers take what they learn and adapt it for their grade level of students, their style of teaching and for their unique classes. Especially in the early grades, once the instructor gets to know the students, he or she also adapts the lesson to the unique ways that kids learn. For example, some children are more visual and some more auditory in their learning styles. Sometimes a new math or reading book is introduced and the teachers must review it, mark it with their own notes and plan how to teach from it. This is all before the students arrive on the first day of school. Jen Conklin, who teaches kindergarten at Lemont, spoke about getting her room ready. She said she wouldn’t know the date that she can get into her room for awhile. This is because, depending on the number of students registered, there could be a third teacher hired and thus a third room of kindergarten. Last year there were two classes. If a third teacher is hired, she would go along with that person to orienta-

When one thinks of back to school time, usually it’s the students that come to mind. It’s always been an exciting time for me — first as a student, then as an adult readying my own children for school. But the teachers must get ready also and it was to them that I directed my interviews. If you ask any of the teachers you know, they will tell you that they are, in a sense, getting ready all summer. Karen Foard, an instructional support teacher for kindergarten through fifth-grade in Radio Park Elementary said, “Although most teachers do take an intentional vacation in the summer of a couple of weeks, most spend a lot of the remaining time doing school-related activities.” There are school district initiatives and school building initiatives that they look at and many opportunities for professional development, according to Foard. “A few of us have been looking at a writing curriculum entitled the Nellie Edge Writing Curriculum and discussing how to integrate it into the language arts programs in our rooms,” she said. “This is not a formal pilot, but a way we hope to incorporate writing into our reading and other pro-

tion sometime during the second full week of August. If no new teacher comes, then officially she will have three days of in-service starting Tuesday, Aug. 19. “I can’t get into my room, yet. Repairs take place in the summer. Janitors will probably be waxing floors in the next week or so. Once the floors have a chance to be dry, we will be allowed to go in and set up our classrooms. You want the room to be beautiful, colorful and inviting. This is a chance for the parents to get comfortable with where their children will be. They can see the space that they are sending their children into for the first time and picture them there,” Connie Cousins covers a wide Conklin said. variety of events in Conklin told me that she loved Centre County for teaching and I could hear it in her the Centre County voice, even in a phone interview. She Gazette. Email her also stressed that there is much more at ccous67@gmail. to teaching than the hours in the com. classroom. She herself had spent four hours recently collating papers for a math program activity. There was a math workshop in the summer and some new material to deal with, she said. Those cute little educational projects that elementary students bring home don’t just spring forth fully constructed, either. Teachers share with each other new craft and learning ideas, but there is a flurry of cutting, pasting and preparing that happens after school hours. Some teachers have just recently started their “summer break.” A large number of them locally work with the Summer CHAMPS program that involves a half-day commitment Mondays through Thursdays and just ended for the summer. Children needing to increase their academic skills benefit from this endeavor. Each teacher sets up his or her “plan” for the year, tweaking it as the year progresses. They all do this to guide and direct our kids and grandkids toward a full educational experience. In asking about class size, ratios and number of students with special needs, I learned that: n Students for kindergarten are screened for readiness by the school district. Those who come in late are screened within the first few days of school. n Teachers meet together with principals and decide together how to divide up the classes evenly as to boy/girl ratio and special needs. Things may get shuffled again with late additions to the school. Cheryl Isola, who has taught for 23 years, reported taking a teacher blogging course and reading books such as “Crash Course: The Life Lessons My Students Taught Me” by Kim Bearden. Bearden’s stories chronicle her awardwinning teaching career with passion and humor. Isola teaches one of three kindergarten classes at Radio Park Elementary. “The first day is orientation, with the parents staying for the first hour. Then the parents leave and go to fill out paperwork, etc. Then with the new students, I sing songs, read a story, and try to be the most animated, happy person I can be,” Isola said.

Clarence forces game three against Lemont By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

HOUSERVILLE — The Clarence Mountie offense couldn’t have waited much longer to kick into gear at Lemont on Tuesday evening. Facing elimination, two runs down, and with zeroes on the board going into the fourth inning, Clarence needed some kind of spark. That spark came in the form of a modest two-run rally in the fourth that tied the game and seemed to energized the Mountie hitters. They went on to score three more in the fifth and four more in the sixth as they slugged their way to a series-tying 10-6 win over the Ducks. Ryan Guenot slashed three hits for Clarence, Kalen Gearhart had two and Hunter Guenot knocked in three runs, and the Mounties were able to avoid elimination and extend the series. The rubber match will be played today at 5:45 p.m. at Clarence. “We were just worried about getting the ball in play,” Clarence manager Rob Gavlock said, “but we did. We started hitting in the top of the fourth, got two runs, tied

it, and then just chipped away for the rest of the game. “The core of our team has been together for the last four or five years, and we’ve been in this situation before. We just wanted to at least get it to game three and take it home in front of our fans.” The defending CCBL champion Ducks, however, were aiming to take out the No. 3 seeded Mounties. Lemont put the first four batters on base in the first inning against Clarence starting pitcher Justin Koleno and took an early 2-0 lead on a two-run single by Kiran Kempton. With two men on base and still no outs, the Ducks were threatening to get more, but a weird double-pickoff took both runners out and then Koleno got his first strikeout to end the inning and the threat. Lemont would not score again against Koleno until Clarence had a 9-2 lead in the sixth inning. “We had a couple key plays there that let me settle in,” Koleno said, “and we scored more runs than they did. “It is so much easier to pitch with run support, and it was nice that we came through today. I hope that this turned the corner for us, hitting wise.” After Clarence tied the game in the

Ryan McNamara and Gearhart both had RBI doubles in the fifth, and then Clarence batted around in the sixth and added four runs. Hunter Guenot had the big hit in the inning with a two-run single, but Clarence benefitted from four walks, a hit batter and an error to take an overwhelming 9-2 lead.

Lemont, to its credit, added four runs in its final two innings, but Koleno’s steady pitching and the lead were too much to overcome and the game ended 10-6. “The next game’s win or go home, just like today,” Koleno said. “We’ll take the same approach and hope to get the same result. It’s always nice to play at home in front of the home crowd.”

CCBL full of upsets, surprises this season By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

HOUSERVILLE — The recent past in the Centre County Baseball League playoffs has been marked by a flurry of surprising upsets. Teams with mediocre or even poor seasons have come out swinging and many times advanced over higher-seeded teams, and making it to the tournament finals. Looks like we’re in for more of the same in 2014. On Sunday, the first day of this year’s playoffs, all three lower-seeded teams pulled off upsets. Lemont beat Clarence 5-3, Blanchard overwhelmed Howard 16-11 and Pleasant Gap knocked off Spring Mills 7-3. With each series being a best-out-ofthree, there was a real chance on Tuesday of seeing three of the top four seeds in the tournament finished after just two days. But No. 3 Clarence and No. 4 Spring Mills were both able to claim victories in Tuesday’s games and force winner-take-all showdowns today. Lemont will be at Clarence and Pleasant Gap will travel to Spring Mills with both games set to begin at 5:45 p.m. Howard was not so fortunate. No. 7 seeded Blanchard completed its

two-game sweep of the Hawks with a 4-2 victory on Tuesday. The Bees now advance to play No. 1 Philipsburg, which had a firstround bye, on Sunday afternoon in the semi-finals. Blanchard’s close, two-run win—two of its runs came late on bases-loaded walks— was in stark contrast to the 16-11 slugfest the teams engaged in on Sunday. The Bees and Hawks combined for 27 runs, 35 hits and a total of nine errors that day. There were seven walks, three wild pitches and the teams combined to leave 19 runners on base. Blanchard scored in every inning, pushing across a total of eight runs in the fourth and fifth, and sewed things up with another three in the seventh. Every hitter in the Bee lineup hit safely. Larry Bechtol, Matt McGhee, pitcher Mike Vonada and Nick McGhee all chipped in with three hits each while Vonada pitched a complete game for the victory. Vonada gave up all of Howard’s runs in the first four innings, but he shut out the Hawks over the last three and watched his team pull away for the win. “We haven’t had that much (hitting) all year,” Vonada said, “so it really feels good to get that now. “The second inning I thought I was

thought he could see coming. “I hope we carry this over to Tuesday,” he said, “because we hit good this game and we should be able to carry it over.”

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State head men’s hockey coach Guy Gadowsky will be inducted into the University of Alaska Nanook Hall of Fame as part of its four-member Class of 2014. Gadowsky started his coaching career at Fairbanks, and his fellow honorees will formally join the athletic department’s Hall of Fame during an induction ceremony at the Wedgewood Resort in Fairbanks on Saturday, Sept. 27. “The University of Alaska provided an extremely special time in my family’s life. The great people of Fairbanks have an incredible love for Nanook Hockey and have always shown unwavering support for the program and of my family,” said Gadowsky. “The memories and lessons from Fairbanks will always

be a huge part of my family and coaching philosophy. I am incredibly grateful to receive this prestigious honor.” During his five-year tenure (1999-2004) as Alaska’s head coach, Gadowsky led the Nanooks to 22 victories in his third season at the helm after inheriting a program that had not broken the 14-win mark in any of the previous five seasons. In fact, the 22 victories were the most for an Alaska team in the past 20 seasons. Under his leadership, Alaska twice hosted the first round of the CCHA playoffs in a three-year span, a feat never accomplished prior to Gadowsky’s arrival. His teams also set school records for team GPA, wins and game attendance. Penn State and Gadowsky will then return to Fairbanks on Friday, Oct. 17, for two days when the Nittany Lions compete in the Brice Alaska Goal Rush.

PSU depth chart might be odd, but serves a purpose By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State recently released a depth chart heading into media day and the first day of practice on Monday, Aug. 4, although it’s hard to really call it a depth chart at all. The catch? Every position is ranked by seniority, meaning that the new depth chart is nothing more than a different look at Penn State’s roster. There isn’t any new insight to how Penn State might actually look on the field this season. But that’s not the goal. Depth charts are in many respects unnecessary heading into training camp. Players and coaches already have a pretty good idea as to who will fill what holes in the roster, but with plenty of practices between now and the start of the season, the depth chart release has always been a tradition. It gives players, fans and media something tangible to digest. This year, though a depth chart so early in the summer isn’t really needed, James Franklin’s decision to release one that lacks a single solidified starter is a smart move.

TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS

If Penn State is going to win this year, it really will take everyone on the roster. Simply assuming returning starters can get the job done is not only foolish, but closing the door on the chance that players are being overlooked on the roster. While Franklin may say it differently, his wide-open depth chart is the visual representation of what he has preached since he took the job: “You want the starting job? You have to earn it.” Certainly, some positions are all but decided. It’s safe to say that a wide-open quarterback competition is going to see Christian Hackenberg win the job, and it’s equally unlikely that Geno Lewis will start the season on the sideline. Even so, with only 11 players with senior eligibility and more than half the roster listed as underclassmen, there is plenty of room for competition — the kind of competition that makes everyone better. Will it make a difference? That remains to be seen, but if nothing else, the gesture of an open depth chart could see a few players bringing it a little harder this August. And, there are worse things for a team than internal competitions.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg continues to bring in preseason honors, coming in at No. 36 on a thorough list of the nation’s top 100 players compiled by SportsOnEarth.com. Hackenberg was the only Nittany Lion to make the list, although offensive tackle Donovan Smith was mentioned by SportsOnEarth as one of the last players to miss the cut. Here is what SOE’s Matt Brown had to say about the sophomore signal caller: “Hackenberg was exactly the type of quarterback scouts pegged him to be out of high school — a bit uneven at times, but tremendous arm strength and the ability to develop into a dominant pocket passer. What was most impressive about his freshman season was his poise and command of the Penn State offense, which really set him apart. Hackenberg completed 58.9 percent of his passes for 2,955 yards with 20 touchdowns and 10 picks, getting better as the year went on, playing his best game (339 yards, four TDs) in an upset win at Wisconsin to end the season. “With O’Brien gone, along with star wideout Allen Robinson, plus a very thin offensive line aside from Donovan Smith, Hackenberg faces some major hurdles as a sophomore. Based on what we’ve seen so far, though, he’s the type of quarterback who will make everyone around him look better.” Things ought to be a little tougher for Hackenberg this season, but if he and his receivers and offensive line can all get on the same page, there is no reason Hackenberg can’t continue to build on an already impressive career.

NCPGA event held at Belles Springs MACKEYVILLE — The back nine played an important role to determine the winner of two flights at the NCPGA Junior Tour event held at Belles Springs Golf Course in Mackeyville.

The 16- to 18-year-old division saw Lost Creek’s Jeremy Pannebaker and Wynding Brook’s Jacob Lenhart posting scores of 80, however, Pannebaker’s 42 on the back nine was good enough to give him the first-place prize in the flight. Nittany Country Club’s Daniel Zimmerman and Zackery Mothersbaugh posted scores of 94 and 105. The 13- to 15-year-old division found itself with a three-way tie at 79.

Delany non-committal on Penn State sanction cuts By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press

CHICAGO (AP) — Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany took a non-committal stance on an effort by five Pennsylvania Congressmen to rescind sanctions against Penn State for its handling of the Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse scandal. Several outlets reported that U.S. Reps. Charlie Dent, Mike Doyle, Glenn Thompson, Jim Gerlach and Mike Kelly wrote a letter to NCAA President Mark Emmert saying that penalties handed out by the governing body based on former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell’s recommendation deprive innocent players of opportunities. The punishments include a $60 million fine and reduced football scholarships. The team remains on probation that includes no bowl-game participation through the 2015 season. Delany said he had not seen the letter but looks forward to getting a copy of it “and learning more about the request.” He also voiced his support for Penn State’s leadership. “The leadership over the last three years, two years I guess, by President (Rodney) Erickson, (former athletic director) Dave Joyner and (former) coach (Bill) O’Brien really met the challenge as far as we are concerned,” Delany said. “We are a partner in the integrity agreement among and between the Big Ten, Penn State and the NCAA. We’ve worked really closely with Senator Mitchell and have fully supported his recommendations as this has played out. I’m unfamiliar with (the letter). I hope that if progress continues to be made, that

the NCAA would look positively on any request that is suggested by Senator Mitchell.” New coach James Franklin had little to say about the letter. His attention was on the opener against Central Florida on Aug. 30. “My focus is on what to call on third down against Central Florida,” he said. “Obviously, that’s something that’s floating out there and we’ll see what happens. But again, I’ve spent very little time thinking and talking about those things because I don’t want to be disappointed. I don’t want our players to be disappointed, so we just focus on what we know. Right now, it’s very black and white, so we focus on that.” BRAXTON’S BACK: Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller is ready to go after missing spring practices following surgery on his right shoulder. The Big Ten’s Offensive Player of the Year the past two seasons, he was injured in the Orange Bowl loss to Clemson. He wasn’t operated on until February and needed two months to recover, causing him to sit out spring practices. “It’s good,” Miller said. “Two months. I’m feeling pretty good.” SPRINKLE’S STATUS: Ohio State defensive lineman Tracy Sprinkle is off the team after being arrested on charges of cocaine possession, rioting and failure to disperse after a bar fight in northeast Ohio three weeks ago. Sprinkle was suspended following the incident. Coach Urban Meyer said Monday at the team’s annual media with the team that Sprinkle “is no longer with the

The report said Sprinkle was first charged with rioting and failure to disperse and later with drug possession after suspected cocaine was found hidden in the seat of a police car where Sprinkle was held.

THEY SAID IT: Maryland coach Randy Edsall, when asked if he kept an eye on the ACC media days last week: “I was in St. Thomas and I was enjoying the heck out of St. Thomas.” Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio, when asked how he maintains the intensity for the Michigan rivalry when the Spartans have won five of six from the Wolverines: “I continue to live in Michigan. That ought to do it.”

OFF TO CAMP

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State’s football team is preparing for its first ever international trip and that’s generating a lot of excitement. When the Nittany Lions battle the University of Central Florida in Ireland on Aug. 30 it will be only the 10th time that Penn State has played a game in the month of August. But Penn State has been involved in a number of special early season contests. While fans might argue that every season opening game is special, it wasn’t too long ago that Penn State was headlining the Kickoff Classic, the season opening game for all of college football. The once annual affair was held at Giants’ Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Here’s a look back at some of those classics — good and bad.

1983: NEBRASKA 44 PENN STATE 6

The very first Kickoff Classic did not go well for the Nittany Lions. Penn State entered the game as defending national champions and Nebraska entered ranked the preseason No. 1 The ranking held strong as the Huskers ran out to a 21-0 halftime lead. A 27-yard interception return for a touchdown by Mike Knox early in the third quarter killed any hope of a Penn State comeback. Penn State scored all six of its points in the fourth quarter.

1991: PENN STATE 34 GEORGIA TECH 22

This game was much closer to being a

1996: PENN STATE 24 USC 7

With Curtis Enis in the backfield and a defense pounding USC Penn State walked away from this one with a solid 24-7 victory. Enis would run for 241 yards and three touchdowns on only 27 carries making quick work of the Southern California defense in front of a crowd of 77,716 fans. That rushing mark was good enough for fourth best in school history and just 15 yards shy of the school’s single-game record set by Curt Warner in 1981.

2000: USC 29 PENN STATE 5

With both teams coming into the game ranked and both teams not far removed from the 1996 meeting there were plenty of story lines to follow. USC entered the game No. 16 with Penn State starting off the season at No. 17. In a role reversal of sorts, USC running back Sultan McCullough ran for 137 yards and a score en route to the victory. Penn State on the other hand was able to generate only six yards on the ground, the lowest figure under Joe Paterno. Penn State quarterback Rashard Casey was 7-of-24 for 106 yards and was replaced by Matt Senneca in the fourth quarter.

classic than the first “classic” held in 1983. Penn State entered the game the underdog against the defending national champs. The Nittany Lions came out firing. A Tony Sacca led pass attack saw Penn State build a 34-3 lead through three quarters. Georgia Tech would storm back though, scoring 19 points in four minutes, but it wasn’t enough.

‘A Chorus Line’ hopes to be sensational By ANNE WALKER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — FUSE Productions’ next show spotlights the men and women who struggle through the minefields of Broadway auditions, pouring their hearts and souls into making enough of an impression on jaded directors to land a spot dancing in a musical. “A Chorus Line,” directed by Richard Biever and choreographed by Nicole Swope, will open at The State Theatre on Friday, Aug. 7. This first-time collaboration of FUSE and Centre Dance features 17 dancers, including professionals from New York. “This is a young cast,” Biever said, “but this show speaks to this generation as strongly as it did when it opened in 1975.”

IF YOU GO What: “A Chorus Line” When: Aug. 7-9 Where: The State Theatre, downtown State College More info: www.thestatetheatre.org Conceived, directed and choreographed by Michael Bennett, “A Chorus Line” took chances, but shows back then just didn’t take. It had no scenery. It had

no flashy lead. It had no real plot. Rather, it took place on an empty stage where a director tells 17 dancers that he will choose eight of them for his show. He then requests that they tell him about their lives, their passions, their histories and what makes them want to dance. “It’s about putting yourself on the line for a job,” Biever said. Each dancer tells his or her story, complete with song and dance. Mike, played by Steven Del Col, recalls how he, as a young boy, would watch his sister’s dance classes. His song, “I Can Do That,” tells how he took her place one day and never stopped dancing. Dancers Sheila (Emily Dennis), Bebe (Lyndy Adamonis) and Maggie (Madeline Biever) reminisce about how they used to love the escape they found “At the Ballet.” “Everything was beautiful at the ballet,” where they could forget the tedium of their lives at home. Poor Kristine (Jill Wess) can’t carry a tune in a bucket. Her husband, Al (Mario Castro), helps her through her number, “Sing.” “Hello Twelve, Hello Thirteen, Hello Love” brings all the dancers together as they recollect the trauma and angst of early adolescence and the relationship they had with dance. This piece lasts 20 minutes and tests the stamina of the performers. It features showcase dance moves from FUSE newcomer Jimmy Bonilla as Richie. One by one, the dancers tell their sto-

‘Camelot’ show rescheduled UNIVERSITY PARK — The Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State presentation of the touring Broadway musical “Camelot,” which had been scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 18, has been moved to Monday, April 20. Alterations in the national tour schedule forced the date change for the Eisenhower Auditorium presentation. Ticket holders will be notified individually and provided the options of keeping their seats for the new date or receiving refunds. For patrons who want to attend on April 20, tickets will be reprinted with the new date and mailed to them. Ticket holders requesting refunds will receive them by the original methods of payment. As a result of the “Camelot” date change, the Center for the Performing Arts has had to cancel the Tuesday, April 21, presentation of “Peter and the Starcatcher.” Presenting two touring Broadway shows on back-to-back days is not feasible for the production companies or the Center for the Performing Arts. Other options were explored, but suitable dates could not be identified. Patrons holding “Peter and the Starcatcher” tickets will receive refunds according to their original methods of payment. For more information about the Center for the Performing Arts 2014-15 music, theater and dance presentations, visit the center’s Facebook page.

ACCORDING TO numbers released by CATA, fixed-route ridership reached an all-time high in fiscal year 2013-14.

CATA ridership on the rise

STATE COLLEGE — The Centre Area Transportation Authority recently announced that during fiscal year 201314, CATABUS fixed-route annual ridership climbed to a record high of 7,352,133, easily eclipsing the previous record of more than 7.1 million rides set in fiscal year 2009-10. This number demonstrates a 3.4 percent increase in ridership over fiscal year 2012-13, and a 9.7 percent increase in CATABUS community service. The largest gains have been on the HP (Toftrees/Scenery Park) route, which is up 40.2 percent, the M (Nittany Mall) route, up 32.3 percent, and the W (Valley Vista) route, up 56.8 percent. Ridership on the CATARIDE program, which primarily serves people ages 65 and older and those with disabilities, has grown by 4 percent. CATACOMMUTE, with its ride-matching, “Vanpool” and “Emergency Ride Home”

programs for long-distance commuters, continues to grow with the number of people registered in the program increasing by approximately 9.5 percent to more than 2,500, and 44 Vanpool groups on the road, up from 29 just two years ago. In terms of ridership on its fixed-route CATABUS service, the authority is the third largest transit agency in Pennsylvania, behind the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority in Philadelphia and the Port Authority of Allegheny County in Pittsburgh. State College also maintains the distinction of being one of the three most transit-intensive small communities in the country; the people in the Centre Region take more transit trips per capita than almost any other small urban area in the nation.

Local builder honored for dedication to sustainable green building BOALSBURG — Dan Wise, of Wise Construction, a custom builder and remodeler located in Boalsburg, was one of 30 individuals announced as a Home Innovation National Green Building Standard Green Partner of Excellence for 2014. Wise first committed to high-performance, sustainable, green construction almost a decade ago, and has dedicated himself as an educator and advocate for the growing industry ever since. “I am extremely honored to be selected for this award,” said Wise. “There are many, many builders, remodelers, associates and others who are as committed and have worked just as hard on all facets of sustainable green construction.” Wise, a 30-year member of the Pennsylvania Builders Association and the Builders Association of Central Pennsylvania, is a green-certified professional with the National Association of Home Builders and incorporates the national green building standards into all of his projects. Some of his notable green building projects include the first NGBS Gold-certified remodel in the state of Pennsylvania and the first NGBS Gold-certified Lindal Cedar Home in the country. “When all of the disciplines and principles of sustainable construction are properly integrated into the entire home-building process, in many cases the length of time to build and the cost of the home decrease and our cus-

tomers have a superior home that will be less expensive to operate and maintain,” Wise said. “At the end of the day, it just makes sense.” As a Home Innovations Lab Green verifier of the NGBS, Wise himself has verified homes throughout the MidAtlantic region, including the firstever NGBS Emerald-certified hybrid home construction and the first ever NGBS four-star approved site development in the nation. DAN WISE Wise currently serves as the dealer director on the board of directors of Lindal Cedar Homes, an international systems-built home manufacturer based out of Seattle. He spearheaded Lindal’s initiatives in becoming the first and only NGBS-certified systems-built manufacturer in the country. Wise currently chairs the NAHB Green Building Codes and Standards subcommittee and is an approved contributing expert for www.proudgreenhome.com. He also recently served on the 2015 International Code Council Green Building Code Development Committee for energy and water standards. Wise was also previously recognized as the 2013 NAHB National Green Builder Advocate of the Year.

How do you like your hot dog? Ketchup, mustard and messaging By DAVID M. MASTOVICH Americans will eat more than 7 billion hot dogs from Memorial Day through Labor Day, including 150 million that were consumed on the 4th of July alone. If you have one, do you top it with ketchup or mustard? According to a survey by market research firm YouGov, the most popular condiment for hot dogs is mustard (72 percent) followed by ketchup (59 percent), onions (51 percent) and relish (47 percent). Age has a big impact on our choice. A total of 73 percent of 16 to 34 year olds ate their hot dogs with ketchup, while only 41 percent of those 35 and older did. Makes sense. Kids love ketchup. Children have different taste buds

than adults and notice bitter-tasting foods more. Plus, creative commercials help create long lasting habits like adding ketchup to a hot dog. Remember the classic Heinz “Anticipation” commercial? But sometimes one organization’s message hurts a complementary product. The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council’s Hot Dog Etiquette list, featuring what’s OK to “do” and what’s a “don’t,” surely caught the attention of ketchup companies with this one: “Don’t use ketchup on your hot dog after the age of 18. Mustard, relish, onions, cheese and chili are acceptable.” Whether you like your hot dog with ketchup, mustard or some other way, you can benefit from these messaging do’s and don’ts:

n Do focus on creative promotions to tell your story. Just like the hot dog industry promotes National Hot Dog Month, you can promote your anniversary, new equipment, locations and hires in a creative way. n Do make it about your target audiences. Why does it matter to them? n Don’t miss opportunities to promote your uniqueness. Develop a content calendar to tell your story throughout the year. n Don’t make messaging, branding and PR decisions by committee. You’ll end up with a little bit of what each person wanted and a lot of wasted advertising dollars. David M. Mastovich is president and CEO of MASSolutions. Visit www. massolutions.biz.

BOB KNOFFSINGER, right, is retiring from his post as the longtime manager/CEO of Titan Federal Credit Union. He will be replaced by Josh Vlajic, left.

Knoffsinger to retire from Titan Credit Union PLEASANT GAP — Centre County’s oldest credit union, Titan Federal Credit Union, will soon be saying goodbye to longtime manager/CEO Bob Knoffsinger. Knoffsinger started at Titan in April 1977 when the credit union’s asset size was a mere $2.5 million. During his tenure, Titan has grown into a full-service financial institution with total assets of $45 million and more than 3,100 members. In 1999, Titan expanded into its Pleasant Gap office after relocating from the former Cerro plant. As a lifelong Centre County resident, Knoffsinger has been involved in a number of civic organizations including the Bellefonte and State College Jaycees, the Bellefonte Chamber of Commerce and the Altoona Chapter of Credit Unions. Knoffsinger will be replaced by Josh Vlajic, currently working as the manager trainee. Vlajic, a State College resident, is a Penn State graduate with more than 10 years of credit union experience.
