PINE GROVE MILLS — Hiya McKenna sat on a chair in the corner of her new restaurant, sipped a cup of coffee and took a deep breath. It was a little after 3 p.m. The breakfast and lunch rushes at the Naked Egg Cafe were over. She finally had a moment to relax and catch her breath. “It’s quiet now, which is nice,” she said. “It gives us a chance to get caught up and get some things done.” The cafe, located at 320 Pine Grove Road in Pine Grove Mills, has been busy since opening its doors on July 29. “People have been very responsive,” said McKenna, the co-owner. “From the day we opened, we’ve had an excellent response to the restaurant. People from the neighborhood, other restaurateurs have supported us. It’s been really nice to have that kind of support from everyone.”

ECLECTIC MENU: The Naked Egg Cafe in Pine Grove Mills features a variety of options for breakfast and lunch.

The Naked Egg Cafe sits on the site of the former Watkins Dariette, a staple in Centre County for many years. The Dariette was a convenience store that featured ice cream as well as some breakfast and lunch items. McKenna and co-owner Erik Toombs have transformed the Dariette into a modern, sleek cafe. According to McKenna, the transformation was not easy. “Oh my gosh, it seems like forever. We actually took over the building in January,” McKenna said. “It was a long haul. It was a lot different. It was quite the challenge, working with the structure that was here. We wanted to make it functional and attractive.” McKenna and Toombs both live in Pine Grove Mills. They’d always talked, she said, about opening a restaurant close to Naked Egg, Page 6 Opinion ............................. 7 Health & Wellness .......... 8, 9

UNIVERSITY PARK — For Penn State head football coach Bill O’Brien, it was Media Day II: The Sequel. O’Brien met with the media on Aug. 8 to discuss the 2013 season. This year’s Media Day had a much different feel from 2012. There was no talk of sanctions, transfers or impending doom. Nearly every question was about football. An 8-4 season will do that. While the thrill of last year’s 8-4 campaign is gone, it’s certainly not forgotten. However, O’Brien is clearly looking ahead, not back. “I think we’ve got a focused bunch of guys, and that’s no different this year than it was last year,” he said. “These guys are focused and attentive in meetings, and when they go out on the practice field, they’re practicing hard. They’re having some fun, and I feel like we’re focused.” Last year, many of the national experts predicted bad things for the Penn State football program. Scholarships restrictions, a four-year bowl ban and an open transfer period could have sent the Nittany Lions on a downward spiral. However, even after losses in their first two non-conference games, O’Brien’s Lions rallied to win 8 of their remaining 10 games en route to a stunning season that ended with a storybook-like overtime win against Wisconsin on Senior Day at Beaver Stadium. O’Brien captured Big Ten and National Coach of the Year Awards. During the offseason, Penn State rewarded him with a hefty raise. O’Brien, Page 4

Glitch causes confusion on PSU recruits charges By ADAM LIDGETT StateCollege.com

RAISE YOUR GLASS RESPONSIBLY

STATE COLLEGE — An unexplained glitch is responsible for erroneous news reports indicating that some of the charges against former Penn State football recruit Zayd Issah had been dropped by the Centre County District Attorney’s office. On Monday, online court records showed that an aggravated assault charge and two misdemeanor counts of resisting arrest filed against Issah had been dropped. Centre County District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller says that she expects to have all of his charges, which include the aggravated assault, three counts of resisting arrest and one count of possession of marijuana, restored soon. Parks Miller also said she does not know what went wrong.

Her office is looking into why the charges were dropped in the first place. Issah, 18, of Harrisburg, was arrested in July in State College after allegedly attempting to flee police after they approached him in an apartment building. Four officers were required to take Issah into custody, and two were injured in the process. One officer was treated at Mount Nittany Medical Center for a wrist injury. Issah recently waived his preliminary hearing on the charges, and is out on $20,000 bail. Issah was also arrested in March in Harrisburg on charges related to the passing of $20 counterfeit bills at a series of fast-food restaurants. After this arrest, Issah was admitted to an Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program in Dauphin County, according to online records.

Local team forming for Altoona’s Take Steps walk September event raises money for The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America STATE COLLEGE — Today there’s no cure for Crohn’s disease, which is why one local woman will walk this fall to raise awareness and funds for an illness that has affected her family for more than a decade. State College resident Heather Baumgarten is forming a local team to participate in Altoona’s Take Steps for Crohn’s & Colitis Walk Sept. 29 at Dell Delight Legion Park. Hosted by the Western Pennsylvania/West Virginia chapter of The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America, the walk begins at 4:30 p.m. Check-in and the festival start at 3:30 p.m. Nationally a fundraiser for The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America, “Take Steps, Be Heard for Crohn’s & Colitis” raises awareness for the more than 1.4 million American adults and children affected by digestive diseases like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Funds raised through Take Steps walks help support patient programs, enhance professional education efforts and propels research for cures, according to CCFA’s website.

A CAUSE CLOSE TO HOME

Baumgarten’s son Cory was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in his small bowel when he was 12 years old. Since then he

has undergone surgery and has been on numerous medications, she said. “He’s always been stoic about it,” Baumgarten said. At 18, Cory had a resection surgery in which doctors removed part of his small bowel and reconnected his colon. Despite the surgery, the Crohn’s returned six months later, which, unfortunately was expected, she said. Cory may face more surgery later in life, Baumgarten said, which could pose its own set of issues. Those who receive multiple surgeries in the small bowel could suffer other health problems as a result, such as malnutrition. Cory already suffers from bone loss, she said. Today, Cory is 26 and living in California, Baumgarten said. However, the illness will always be a part of her son’s life. “(I’m) very, very thankful he’s in a place he’s doing well with his disease,” she said. Currently there is no cure for Crohn’s disease. But Baumgarten wants to do everything she can to change that. So she’s starting with the Take Steps walk. “We need to find a cure,” she said. Baumgarten completed the Take Steps walk in Altoona by herself two years ago, but this year wants to spread the word and recruit participants. “This year I’m really trying to get a team together from State College,” she said. Baumgarten believes in the importance of raising awareness about how the disease affects people on a personal level. “For me as a mother, I want my son and grandchildren to never face this disease,” she said. Crohn’s disease, Baumgarten said, impacts a person’s career choice and what type of health insurance they choose, among other things. “Not to mention it interrupts your life,” she said. “It’s always in the back of (Cory’s) mind.” When she walks in September she hopes to increase the quality of life for

people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, she said.

TAKING STEPS

This year marks the third year the Take Steps walk will be hosted in Altoona. Nationwide it is held in more than 120 cities, according to Lori McCann, Take Steps walk manager for CCFA’s Western Pennsylvania/West Virginia chapter. “Participants raise funds and awareness throughout the year and come together to celebrate the steps that have been taken toward a cure,” she said. Roughly 200 people attend the walk each year, McCann said, but the hope is to continue to grow over the next few years. Last year $18,213 was raised. This year’s

goal is $22,400, McCann said. Money raised from the walk is used both locally and nationally, she said. “The money that is raised is used to provide research, support and education services for patients and doctors alike,” McCann said. This includes support groups and educational seminars on a local level, and research dollars both locally and nationally. “I believe that the walk not only provides much needed funding to support patients and their families, but that it is also important to raise awareness of the disease so that the public will have a better understanding of what patients go through who Take Steps, Page 5

O’Brien, from page 1 There are expectations for this year’s squad, and O’Brien realizes it. “Every year is different. So that was last year’s team and this is this year’s team. You know, obviously, we feel so close and grateful for last year’s seniors and what they did for us, but this is a different team. This is the 2013 team, and we’ve got good leaders on this team, good guys that have played a lot of football for us and we’re not concerned about that part of it. We’re not concerned about that at all,” O’Brien said. The 2013 Nittany Lions face many question marks. They’ve lost several players to the NFL ranks, which leaves gaping holes on both sides of the football. Arguably the biggest question mark is who will replace quarterback Matt McGloin, who is now taking snaps with the Oakland Raiders. Competing for the starting job is junior college transfer Tyler Ferguson and true freshman Christian Hackenberg. After just three days of practice, O’Brien indicated that Ferguson has a slight edge — for now. “I would say after three days, Tyler is a little bit ahead because he has knowledge of the offense. So sure, he’s a little bit ahead. He takes most of the reps with the first

team right now,” he said. However, don’t count Hackenberg — who wears No. 14 — out just yet. “Christian has come in here and really done a nice job. For a true freshman to come in here and do the things that he’s done in the first three practices is really good to see. He’s attentive. He must be staying up late at night and studying the playbook because he’s come from day one to day two to day three and improved and he asks great questions in the meetings,” he said. On the sidelines, there will be a new role for John Butler, who becomes the squad’s defensive coordinator, replacing Ted Roof. “He’s done an excellent job. He’s one of the best coaches I’ve ever been around,” O’Brien explained. “He’s a quick-minded guy. He’s tough. The kids really respect him. He’s a great communicator. It’s a competitive practice because he and I are very competitive people. So it’s been a great thing for our program. He’s an excellent coach with a very bright future.” Penn State will open its second season under O’Brien on Aug. 31 when it travels to MetLife Stadium to face Syracuse.

auGusT 15-21, 2013 Technology, from page 1 A variety of specialties are utilized within the telemedicine program, such as rheumatology, pulmonary medicine and sleep medicine, Nungesser said. Additionally, dermatology, which is the most developed specialty in telemedicine, enables an advanced practitioner to send images to physicians in other areas, said Matthew Nussbaum, associate vice president of operations at Geisinger Health System. This is especially important in Geisinger locations in Philipsburg and Lock Haven, where there are no dermatology specialists, he said. Geisinger is working on ways to bring more telemedicine products to more rural areas, Nussbaum said, explaining that there aren’t a whole lot of health care providers in rural Pennsylvania. “Telemedicine’s a big push,” Nussbaum said. “It’s an aging population that needs care.” Another program, Ask a Doc, enables primary care doctors to ask specialty physicians about a topic that might need a referral using patient records, images and other information, Nungesser said. An internal program, Ask a Doc currently is available with rheumatology and pulmonary medicine, but could potentially involve all other services in the future. “The opinion could be garnered by reviewing the chart” or looking at an image, Nungesser said, explaining the Ask a Doc process. “I can get my answer in any desired amount of time.” Similarly, the eICU allows intensive care unit doctors in various locations to Take Steps, from page 3 are affected by these diseases on a daily basis, and how it affects their lives and (those) of their loved ones,” she said. “In general people do not realize the severity of these diseases and the toll that it takes on the body of those who are affected,” McCann said. “It can be very painful and can affect their work life, their schooling, their relationships … and at times it can be embarrassing. The most severe cases can also be life threatening. It affects both children and adults.”

Patient access is an important part of Geisinger’s developing system, especially today when patients want to be more engaged in their own care, Nungesser said. “They want to know about their condition, their state,” he said. With MyGeisinger, an online patient

tool, patients have access to their own medical records, including test results and office notes. One aspect of MyGeisinger is OpenNotes, which is an electronic patient portal. With this system, a patient can obtain doctors’ notes from a visit, immunization records or lab results; request a prescription refill, schedule an appointment, or simply ask the doctor questions and receive a response, Nungesser said. “They might adhere to their therapeutic program a little better,” he said, if the patient can see his or her doctor’s recommendations. “It’s a patient-centric way of practicing now,” Nungesser said. Another aspect is ePrescribing, he said, in which doctors can send medication prescriptions online to patients’ pharmacies, doing away with easily-lost paper notes and sometimes hard-to-read physician handwriting. But it doesn’t stop with just the doctor and the patient. Through these online portals, patients receive support from many different staff and specialists, Nussbaum said, such as diabetes educators and nurses. “Health care is more than just the oneon-one interaction with the physician and the patient,” he said. While the use of electronic systems can be burdensome because there are more steps involved, Nussbaum says it does reduce errors. “It creates a permanent record of everything that’s ever done,” he said. And hopefully, getting patients more invested in their care will help avoid, or at

least minimize, hospitalizations and emergency room visits, Nussbaum said. Through these updates, Geisinger has dedicated itself to ultimately provide the right care at the right time with limited travel, a task Nussbaum says all major health care providers currently face as part of health care reform. President Barack Obama’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which was signed into law in 2010, is an ongoing effort to reform the national health care system. When the next stage of health care reform goes into effect Jan. 1, Geisinger will be in a “better position than most” because it has been so invested in its streamlined network, Nussbaum said. Geisinger’s successes, he said, are only feasible through the fact that it has this connectivity. Not being online is “just not the reality anymore,” Nussbaum said, explaining the importance of technology updates. “It takes a village. It makes us better providers … it makes for a better patient experience.” Wayne Thompson, senior vice president and chief information officer at Mount Nittany Health, said one important advance under way within Mount Nittany is its patient portal initiative. Expected to begin rolling out at the end of the year, the update would provide Mount Nittany patients with advanced access to their health information online. This next step makes sense because the patient is an important part of the care team that manages his or her health. “We’re pretty excited about what that’s going to be able to do for our patients,” Thompson said.

Fundraising is not a requirement to participate in the walk, but it is encouraged. A minimal donation of $25 per person is suggested, McCann said. “We hope that participants will, however, fundraise to the best of their abilities in order to help us get closer to our mission of finding a cure for Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis,” she said. Signs and symptoms of Crohn’s disease, which can affect any part of the GI tract, vary from patient to paint and include: persistent diarrhea, rectal bleeding, urgent need to move bowels, abdominal cramps

and pain and constipation. General symptoms that may also be associated with IBD include fever, weight loss, loss of appetite and fatigue, according to CCFA’s website. While Crohn’s disease can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, ulcerative colitis affects only the colon. Additionally, Crohn’s disease can affect all layers of the bowel wall, while ulcerative colitis only affects the lining of the colon, according to the website. Participants from the Altoona Take Steps walk, as well as CCFA staff, will be present at the Altoona Curve baseball game

at 7 p.m. on Aug. 15, and will provide registration and information about the walk. Those interested in joining Baumgarten’s team may call her at (814) 404-4470. For more information on the Altoona Take Steps walk, email McCann at lmccann@ ccfa.org. The Western PA/West VA chapter of CCFA hosts various other walks, including the Erie Take Steps walk on Sept. 22, and the Pittsburgh and Morgantown walks, which take place in June.

be counseled by nurses and physicians from Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, while enabling sick patients to stay in remote hospitals. Care for critically ill patients, a specially trained eICU team of intensive care nurses and doctors monitor, in real-time, patients from a remote location, enabling the identification of subtle changes in a patient’s condition sooner, so complications can be avoided and necessary interventions can take place faster, according to Geisinger’s website. The eICU, Nungesser said, is a “superb use of wires and technology.” The program is available at Lewistown Hospital, Evangelical Community Hospital in Lewisburg and Schuylkill Medical Center in Pottsville. “Often you just need another set of eyes and ears on your patient,” Nungesser said. Cameras used through the eICU drop down from the ceiling, he said, and zoom in on a patient with such refinement that a doctor can view even the patient’s eyelashes. “(It’s like) you’re right there,” he said. A big drive behind the eICU, Nussbaum added, is being able to manage a large population of patients with a shortage of physicians.

State High holds forum about renovation plans By ADAM LIDGETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — Community members got the chance share their opinions and ask questions about the high school renovation plans at a forum held by State College Area School Board of Directors Tuesday night. Some people expressed concern over the difference in operating costs between the two proposed building plans. Others spoke about a proposal to connect the high school buildings with a bridge. The board is still considering two concepts for the renovations. The first, Concept B, would include additions and renovations to the existing North and South Buildings with a walkway connecting the two buildings. The other option, Concept D, would include major renovations to the South building so that core classes could all be held on the same side of the street. Concept D would also have portions of the North building retained for student and community use. A plan for improving the educational model of the buildings will be presented

When the Dariette became available, they jumped at the opportunity to take over the space. “My partner and I, we’re neighbors, and we talked about the idea of opening up a restaurant in our neighborhood. That’s how it came about. (Erik) has been involved in the restaurant business since he was 13 in some position or another,” McKenna said. The two came up with an eclectic menu that features breakfast, lunch and takeout dinners. According to McKenna, all the food comes from local suppliers and everything is made from scratch. With a name like the Naked Egg, there are plenty of options that feature the incredible edible egg. There are omelets, Eggs Benedict and more traditional breakfasts like steak and eggs. If eggs aren’t your thing, there are pancakes and waffles, too. The lunch menu features burgers, cheesesteaks, deli-style sandwiches, salads and pizza. McKenna pointed out that there’s something for every taste. “(The menu) is kind of a mix of my partner’s taste and my taste. He’s got a little

bit of Southernness in him from his family. I’m all about the Eggs Benedict and the poached egg salad. We’ve blended our tastes, that’s how it came about,” McKenna said. McKenna and Toombs had the location and the menu. The one thing they didn’t have, however, was a name for the restaurant. “We kicked around a lot of different names early on. We’ve been working on this for a long time. We had a lot of different names — none of them good,” McKenna said. “My husband said, ‘how about the Naked Egg Cafe?’ The more we thought about it, the more we liked it.” Since opening, McKenna has spent countless hours at the Naked Egg, but she’s loving every minute of it. “We’ve put in a lot of hours,” McKenna said. “It’s a tough business. It’s something you don’t go into light-heartedly. If you do, you’re not going to succeed.” The Naked Egg Cafe is open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday and from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sundays. The Sunday menu features only breakfast.

Borough council one step closer to master plan approval By BEN JONES

StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — State College Borough Council members took a crucial step forward Monday evening, agreeing to vote on the future of the master plan on Aug. 19. The vote could delay or approve the implementation of the master plan which could lead to significant changes in the downtown district. One of the main sticking points of master plan discussion revolved around the possibility of increasing building heights in certain areas. Penn Towers located on Beaver Ave is currently the tallest building in the downtown area at 118 feet. The master plan leaves open the possibility of structures as high as 14 stories or 114 to 163 feet. Those taller buildings would have to include high-end office and commercial space. However, some residents say they don’t like the idea of taller buildings.

Council member Thomas Daubert reminded those in attendance the proposal isn’t set in stone. “The (master plan) is very large and I know that there are things I don’t agree with in it,” Daubert said. Under the master plan, new signs would be posted to help direct visitors to downtown attractions. The 100 block of South Allen Street would be designed, replacing the pavement and sidewalks with paver stone. That would cost an estimated $1.3 million. The plan includes a new slogan as part of a marketing and branding campaign for the downtown, “The best times of your life.” The concept behind the master plan is explained in a “frequently asked questions” document created by the council. While no official vote was taken, collectively the council appeared to favor eventual passage of the master plan.

on Aug. 26. Community member Kelly Loviscky expressed concern not about the cost of renovations, but rather what it will cost to operate the renovated school buildings. John Beddia, director of operations at Crabtree, Rohrbaugh and Associates, the architecture firm being used by the State College Area School District, said that there is about a difference of 10 cents per square foot between the two schools in regards to operating costs. “Our engineers have developed some analysis between the two,” Beddia said. “[Concept] B has a greater square footage, so it has a perceived cost increase ... B operates at about $1.20 per square foot.” Penni Fishbaine, president of the board, also said at the meeting that an idea will most likely be chosen for the renovation on Sept. 9. Council member Tom Daubert spoke out against the idea of putting in an enclosed bridge to connect the schools, saying that even his own children have said crossing the street as the students do now is refreshing. “Kids don’t want to feel like they were in some sort of prison,” Daubert said.

Boston-based event full of bull Don’t have the time or money to fly to Pamplona and run with the bulls? No problem. It appears that the bulls are coming to you, thanks to Bradford Scudder and Rob Dickens. These Bostonbased lawyers are organizing and promoting “The Great Bull Run,” a series of events in which participants actually pay as much as $65 for the dubious privilege of running along a quarter-mile track in front of, behind or alongside 1,000-pound bulls. The price inJohn M. Crisp teaches English at cludes a banDel Mar College dana, a T-shirt in Corpus Christi, and, if you’re Texas.

Orgadelmar.edu. nizers report that 5,000 runners have already signed up. Is this event too dangerous for any sane person? Or is the problem that it isn’t dangerous enough to justify awarding a T-shirt that boasts “I Ran With the Bulls”? The organizers’ website is ambiguous, warning participants that they might be “trampled, gored, rammed or tossed in the air by a bull.” Participation requires medical insurance

JOHN CRISP

and a signature on a waiver that absolves the organizers of liability for any harm that might befall a runner, up to and including death — these guys are lawyers, after all. On the other hand, the organizers, loath to scare runners away, admit that they use “less-aggressive bulls than those used in Spain.” This is an amusing understatement. Ernest Hemingway, probably the best writer in English on the Spanish bullfight, wrote in “Death in the Afternoon,” “The fighting bull is to the domestic bull as the wolf is to the dog.” In fact, real fighting bulls are wild animals that live in the open range and are generally protected from any contact with humans. They are very fast, very powerful and extremely aggressive and dangerous, especially when separated from the herd. Of course, domestic bulls might be “evil tempered,” as Hemingway put it. But real fighting bulls and the bulls that will be trotting through the course in The Great Bull Run in Richmond are, literally, two different animals. Which is not to say that runners might not get hurt. Even a domestic bull can inadvertently trample someone with deadly consequences. But most runners in Richmond are likely to be in less danger from the bulls than from stampeding by their fellow runners or from heat exhaustion, alcohol poisoning, brawls or heart attack. In other words, The Great Bull Run is informed by an unhealthy disingenuousness that makes people pay

for being fooled into thinking they’re accomplishing more than they really are. But that’s a common experience in our culture. In this case, though, the disingenuousness extends to the welfare of the bulls themselves. The Great Bull Run’s organizers insist that, unlike in Spain, the bulls are not killed after the event, nor do they “hit them, shock them or deprive them of food, water, light or sleep.” A veterinarian is always on hand and efforts are made at “reducing any anxiety they (the bulls!) may feel.” And when they’re not running? After the event, “the bulls return to their free-range ranch where they relax in open fields.” As one organizer put it in an interview, the bulls “hang out in bull paradise.” Sounds nice. But I’m suspicious of this rosy picture. For a period in my youth, I drove long-haul cattle trucks and have a good sense of how cattle are handled. Just moving the bulls between destinations as far-flung as Richmond and Southern California involves considerable stress on the animal. And when the bulls’ running days are over? Oh, I suspect that, just like in Spain, we’ll kill them and eat them. I don’t mean to throw cold water on anybody’s idea of fun, but surely The Great Bull Run is a classic instance of Americans’ deep capacity for irony — that is, our unwillingness to take much of anything seriously while almost convincing ourselves and others that we’ve done something significant.

Summer school takes Clinton candidacy looms large for GOP on a new meaning By DALE McFEATTERS

Scripps Howard News Service

The U.S. seems to be moving inexorably toward a yearround school year, much like the foreign countries that continually outperform us in math and science studies. “Summer school” for a long time had an unfortunate connotation. The students who attended it mostly did so because they had failed a required course during the regular academic year, while the teachers were there for the extra money, not because they liked teaching in hot weather. The U.S. school year is something of an anachronism anyway, designed around the rhythms of an agricultural society and perpetuated in part by state laws designed to ensure a supply of youthful labor for amusement parks, resorts and summer camps. But as the government takes a greater interest in student performance in science, technology and Dale McFeatters math and the elite colleges grow ever is a columnist for more competitive, summer is not just Scripps-Howard for lying around the pool anymore. News Service. In reporting on the increasing trend of high-school students to go back to school in summer, the Associated Press wrote, “Some studies suggest students lose as much as two months of knowledge over the summer.” Pam Allyn, executive director of LitWorld, a literacy nonprofit, told AP, “There’s been all this work done and investment made over the last nine months and then that investment stops. For every kid — no matter where they live — out-of-school time is really problematic.” The demands by state and federal governments for increased testing in a limited number of subjects during the regular school year, and the penalties for poor test results, make summer an ideal time for educational experimentation without the fear of punitive consequences. The freedom has resulted in innovative summer programs in a dozen or more major cities that feature field trips, music, science experiments, guest speakers, cooking, offbeat reading lists — programs that, in short, downplay the fact that the students are actually learning. Even the dreaded words “summer school” are being eased out of the lexicon. The students are encouraged to think of it as “summer enrichment.”

The life’s blood of politics is perception. Certainly, a president perceived as strong is more likely to succeed than one who isn’t — thus Ronald Reagan was far more successful than Jimmy Carter. But the perception thing also extends to who will or won’t run and how the probable competition stacks up. At a recent luncheon with some Republican heavy hitters — those who will have a sizable hand in raising the money and setting the party’s agenda for the Dan K. Thomasson 2016 presidenis a columnist for Scripps-Howard tial sweepstakes News Service. — the unanimous perception was that Hillary Clinton would not only run but ultimately would be the Democratic candidate for the White House. “She is in this thing, barring some unexpected circumstance like an act of God,” an influential GOP policy guru said. “How we beat her is what needs our full attention.” It is a mantra being echoed throughout the party’s hierarchy from the middle to the right. It seems to be supported by un-

DAN K. THOMASSON

mistakable signs from Democrats, who will build the treasury needed in this day of exorbitant campaign expenses, and from a media that still hangs on to every Hillary moment despite the three-year distance from the election. News of Barack Obama’s hosting of a casual, friendly one-on-one luncheon July 29 with his former secretary of state graced newspaper pages and TV newscasts across the country. Whether the two discussed global problems or Clinton’s plans was unknown, but it was the kind of continuing “in the news” boost that needed to convince voters she is still a force — as if they needed reminding. More importantly, there were reports that the former first lady’s boosters have begun raising funds. A group called Ready for Hillary has launched what The New York Times described as the first step in building “a grassroots network” that would keep other prospective Democratic contenders at bay and provide a base list of donors for the general election. The group already has received more than 65,000 orders for buttons, bumper stickers and other campaign materials, The Times noted. The organization is designed, among other things, to take advantage of the Obama network that was so successful in the last two elections. Here we are, with 2014’s crucial midterm congressional elections still ahead, and already we’re talk-

ing about the next president. Clearly, Democrats believe they have a viable candidate ready to go and Republicans agree, having spent the last 4½ years decrying Obama’s presidency and grudgingly muttering that the country would have been better off with Clinton. Plaguing the Republicans is the same problem Democrats have faced over years: divided ranks and differing political philosophies aggravated by those who refuse to compromise. At the GOP luncheon, diners agreed that for Republicans to recapture the White House, it’s crucial to retain control of the House and wrest the Senate from Democrats. But the question remained as to how to do that without being more inclusive of a rapidly changing voter demographic. The Republican concern is that Clinton — given her popularity and the general assessment, even among critics, that she did well in shouldering the nation’s foreign affairs — will be difficult to defeat. The GOP needs the strongest possible candidate, one who can offer at least the perception of better solutions to those voters needed to decide an election. That includes women and minorities. The luncheon group contended there are Republicans who fit the bill. Whether or not they can overcome primaries that require more than just a note of acquiescence to rigid ideology is another question.

Tips for avoiding back pain Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let that achy back take away from your golf swing. Golf and chiropractic care go hand in hand. Golf is meant to be fun, but most golfers experience aches and pains that can be avoided with preventive measures. Quite often, golfers may not be active until golf season approaches, but then they want their bodies to carry an extra load without proper preparation. On top of that, Dr. Kelly L. Cook is itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like they just a graduate of New go out to golf every York Chiropractic so often â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all of the College. Her offices sudden, golfers are are located in State asking their bodies to College and Centre perform at top notch Hall. level on almost a daily basis. Golfers use chiropractic care to help improve and maintain their performance level. Chiropractic care is safe and effective, and benefits the golfer through manual adjustments as well as accompanying modalities. Adjustments help with the nervous system, maximize joint mechanics and ultimately improve overall general health. A strong foundation in the body is extremely important for having a solid golf swing. The pelvis is the workhorse that will create most of the power for the swing. The lower body and pelvis create the necessary torque, while the upper body acts like a whip to rotate the shoulders. The strong pelvic foundation and flexibility through-

out the thoracic spine is a necessity to ensure an ultimate swing. The pelvis is the weight-bearing foundation of the spine. There is a sacroiliac joint on each side of the pelvis. When either of the joints is not fully functioning, as is common in golfers, the pelvis cannot properly bear weight on that side. This condition could be painless at first, but eventually, it may include pain in that joint, the lower back or hips. The improper movement within the SI joint will affect a golf swing. If the SI joint is weak, the golfer will not be able to smoothly complete a back swing, which will decrease the torque the body needs to generate power. This lack of torque and power can cause the ball to fade or slice and ultimately not travel the desired distance. Also, the lack of torque and power from the lower body results in the golfer putting unnecessary strain on the upper body. Once foundation stability and strength have been addressed, it is time to address the needed flexibility in the thoracic spine. Flexibility is a must to allow the shoulders to rotate quickly enough to create the whip like effect. Adjusting the thoracic spine will not only help with flexibility, but it will improve posture and strength which helps create a more consistent golf swing. Chiropractic care will reintroduce proper movement to the spine, improve nervous system function and allow the surrounding muscles to perform to their fullest ability. The combination of chiropractic treatment and core stability training should help improve the golfersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; games and keep them free from injuries.

Ceremony launches careers in medicine for students Annual event at Penn State College of Medicine reinforces importance of caring and healing From Gazette staff reports

HERSHEY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Members of Penn State College of Medicineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical class of 2017 received their first white medical coats today in the presence of family, friends and peers. The collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual White Coat Ceremony symbolizes the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; entrance into the medical profession as student physicians. The ceremony took place at the Hershey Lodge. Following the distribution of white coats, the students, who are pursuing M.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degrees, joined together to recite the Hippocratic Oath â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the universally recognized creed for physicians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The white coat is an important symbol as it opens the door to a trusted relationship between a patient and a doctor,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Terry Wolpaw, vice dean for educational affairs, Penn State College of Medicine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The white coat bestows the privilege and responsibility of caring for, supporting and healing another human being.â&#x20AC;? Generally, one in seven prospective medical students applies to the College of Medicine. The 149 new members of the class were selected from a pool of nearly 7,500 applicants. Forty-seven percent of the new students are Pennsylvania residents, with 26 counties represented; 53 percent are from out of state. The incoming class is 60 percent male and 40 percent female. The College of Medicineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first White Coat Ceremony took place in 1996 with funding support from the Arnold P. Gold Foundation, which works to foster human-

ism in medicine. Each year, the foundation donates lapel pins for the honorary white coats that are emblazoned with a stethoscope in the shape of a heart, surrounded by the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;Humanism in Medicine.â&#x20AC;? About 90 percent of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical schools hold a similar initiation ceremony for entering students. Enrolling its first students in 1967, Penn State College of Medicine confers the doctor of medicine degree and, in conjunction with the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Graduate School, offers doctor of philosophy degrees in anatomy, bioengineering, biomedical sciences, biostatistics, immunology and infectious diseases, bioinformatics and genomics, molecular medicine, molecular toxicology, neuroscience, pharmacology and physiology. The college also offers a master of public health and master of science degrees in laboratory animal medicine, public health sciences and homeland security. In total, the College of Medicine has more than 1,600 students and trainees in medicine, nursing, the health professions and biomedical research on its campus. Located on the campus of Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, the College of Medicine boasts a portfolio of more than $106 million in funded research. Projects range from the development of artificial organs and advanced diagnostics to groundbreaking cancer treatments and understanding the fundamental causes of disease.

Centre LifeLink adds new remote-controlled robot to ﬂeet From Gazette staff reports

STATE COLLEGE — Centre LifeLink has a new addition to its fleet, but it isn’t to transport patients. The newly acquired remote-controlled ambulance is a fully automated robot shaped like an ambulance that moves, speaks, listens, blows its siren and can turn on its lights just like a real ambulance. The mini-ambulance offers a fun, non-threatening way to provide young children with important safety messages since it is their size and can communicate with them at eye level. “Kids are extremely receptive to it,” said marketing manager Lauren

Shurgalla. “It’s a great tool because it shows kids that something they may be afraid of doesn’t have to be scary.” Centre LifeLink attends dozens of community events throughout the year, and often visits local daycares and preschools to teach kids about injury prevention and 911. “In addition to showing the kids the real ambulance, we can use this mini-ambulance to help explain safety protocols we are trying to instill in kids from a young age,” explained Shurgalla. The miniature ambulance will be making several appearances throughout the month of August, with the mission of finding a new name. Cen-

tre LifeLink is asking kids in grades K through 6 to submit an idea for a name for the mini-ambulance. The winning name will be engraved in a license plate on the ambulance, with the winner receiving two passes to DelGrosso’s Amusement Park, a summer prize package from the State College Spikes and a $25 Wal-Mart gift card provided by Centre LifeLink. Submissions are being accepted until Aug. 23. The may be submitted online at www.centrelifelink.com, or mailed to Centre LifeLink EMS, P.O.

Bellefonte school district decides to ‘Lead the Way’ By MARY ELDER

correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — The Bellefonte Area School District is beginning to take its math and science departments in a different direction using Project Lead the Way through the University of Maryland Baltimore County. Project Lead the Way is a curriculum that integrates science and math standards. The curriculum has a large overlap between the common core math standards of practice and next generation science standards with the Project Lead the Way curriculum. Students will begin to experience Project Lead the Way in middle school and it will continue to be incorporated at the high school level. “In seventh grade, every student will be taking design and modeling. Eighth grade students will be taking automation and robotics.” said Bellefonte assistant superintendent Michelle Saylor. “In ninth grade, it will become an elective. At this point, it will become an elective. Tenth grade will move into principles of engineering. Eleventh grade is when the students can begin branching out into many different areas. We are looking at possibly offering biotechnology and looking at how we might incorporate that with our agriculture cur-

riculum with Mrs. Myken Poorman’s class. We are also exploring biomedical pieces and exploring options with CPI to see how we might create a senior seminar using engineering in conjunction with CPI and possibly their industry certification. There are also opportunities for Space and Aero design. There are opportunities for civil engineering and architecture and digital electronics.” “They will become elective options for the kids. In 11th grade, once they complete the Principals of Engineering then they can start moving into that. When we look at the Biomedical Sciences in 10th grade it is actually a parallel track that looks into the Medical aspect of Engineering and Design.” The school district is going in many different directions with the engineering courses. “We are also looking at engineering, design and development down the road. There is also a Capstone Class that students can participate in. That is when they take all of the information they have learned going through the curriculum and they design a problem or they find a problem and design the solution to that problem and they create the product. It is really a culmination of all their work. It can be designing an alternative energy source or building a car based upon those principles

and systems,” said Saylor. “It can be working with, let’s say Discovery Science in State College and building some of their staging areas or some of their displays that students interact with. It can be a host of things. They find a problem and solve it. The bigger the problem is the bigger the impact can be on people. That is also another piece we are exploring with CPI to see if we can do something in tandem that utilizes both of our resources effectively.” The high school classes will allow students to go beyond the classroom and possibly retain college credit. “What’s nice about it is with the high school classes, there is an end of course assessment that they take and if they pass that end of course exam they are awarded credit from RTI or the Rochester Institute of Technology,” Saylor said. “They can transfer that credit to any university in the country. Outside of RIT, there are probably 50 other affiliated universities across the nation and they are big name universities.” Two teachers will be responsible for integrating Project Lead the Way into the current curriculum at both the high school and middle school. “Initially, there will be two teachers that will be working with Project Lead the Way. It will be Jonathon Mayes at the high school and Christian Onstet at the middle

EXPEDITION CAMP

school. They are our lead teachers to start with. We figured as we transition, which will take about five to six years to take the whole program in; we can train additional teachers for the Design and Engineering classes. You will see many opportunities for co-teaching between our science, math, and technology engineering departments,” Saylor said. This is not Saylor’s first interaction with Project Lead the Way. She has had the opportunity to see the benefits of the Project with other school districts. “In past districts I was involved with were Project Lead the Way schools. It was something that Dr. Potteiger and I wanted to bring here. It is something that every kid benefits from. Whether you are a kid who is extremely talented in mathematics and sciences or not or there is a kid with a passion or interest in the area, everyone excels equally,” Saylor said. “Everyone has an opportunity to bring those passions and to bring those opportunities to the table and work together to create something really magnificent. In every district I have been involved in, I have seen kids grow in leaps and bounds when they had that opportunity. It makes sense with the rigor of the common core and what we expect kids to do post high school. It ties into career preparation and college preparation. It’s a no-brainer.”

BEA elementary schools receive awards From Gazette staff reports

HERSHEY — For the second year in a row, the Pennsylvania Department of Education has recognized the Bald Eagle Area School District elementary schools for implementing Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) with fidelity. Awards were distributed to representatives from the Howard, Mountaintop, Port Matilda and Wingate elementary schools at the third annual Pennsylvania Positive Behavior Support Implementers’ Forum at the Hershey Lodge and Convention Center. PBIS helps schools teach students expected behaviors and social skills, creates student behavioral health and academic support systems, and applies data-based decision making to discipline, academics, and social/emotional learning. The system includes three to five positively stated rules that are consistently taught and reinforced throughout the school year and across all settings. Students are recognized for their appropriate behavior and there are designated procedures for discouraging inappropriate behaviors. Schools collect data to monitor the effectiveness of the program and make adjustments as needed. A three-tiered approach calls for all students to receive supports, and if the behavior of some students is not responsive, then more intensive behavioral supports are provided. “Since we started the School-Wide Positive Behavior System, we’ve seen a huge drop in discipline issues and a huge rise in positive interactions, along with increased positive attitudes toward school,” said Jim Orichosky, BEA director of elementary education.

AT GRACE LUTHERAN PRESCHOOL and Kindergarten’s July Polar Expedition camp, students learned about the North and South Pole and the animals that live there. Children measured the sizes of emporer, king, macaroni and other types of penguins, then they placed their names on the penguins that were closest to their own height. DeeAnn Wylie, a preschool classroom and art teacher at Grace since 2000, led the camps.

Outreach V.P. Weidermann promoted From Gazette staff reports

UNIVERSITY PARK — Craig Weidemann, vice president for Penn State Outreach, will be adding the role of vice provost for online education to his responsibilities effective immediately, Penn State President Rodney Erickson announced. Weidemann’s expanded job title more accurately reflects his position to advance the growing relevance of online education at Penn State. He will report to both the Office of the President and the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost. “Penn State’s development of online programs, embedded within the traditional university, will play an increasingly important role in advancing innovations in pedagogy, attraction of new students and tuition revenues,” said Erickson. “Craig’s new title more clearly articulates this

integration and approach and Penn State’s innovative direction for the future.” Weidemann has had the responsibility for oversight of the University’s online World CRAIG Campus for the WEIDEMANN past 10 years. In his expanded position, he has been charged to lead the advancement toward the goal of enrolling 45,000 online students through the World Campus within the next decade. In addition, he will help to actively lead the integration of online, blended and hybrid learning across the university. “Penn State is recognized among

the higher education community as a national leader in online learning,” said Weidemann. “This welldeserved reputation is built upon the outstanding work of the entire university community. I look forward to helping to further advance this wonderful legacy.” Last month, Weidemann appointed a World Campus executive team responsible for oversight of all facets of the World Campus given the departure of its executive director, Wayne Smutz. Weidemann will oversee this team, while he continues to lead outreach initiatives and help advance the university’s work in engaged scholarship to provide knowledge to communities around the Commonwealth, nation and world. Weidemann has been at Penn State for 10 years and holds a doctorate in educational psychology from the University of Georgia.

State College Scout troop plans 100th anniversary By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — Sir Robert Baden-Powell founded the Boy Scouts in England around 1907. In 1910, Scouting came to the United States when the Boy Scouts of America were formed. Just four years later, on Jan. 12, 1914, Troop 31 was chartered in State College. The troop’s 100th anniversary will be celebrated at a special campout beginning on Aug. 23 at the Seven Mountains Boy Scout Camp in Potter Township. Troop 31 was first chartered by St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in State College, and has been continuously chartered by St. Paul’s since 1914. The troop was originally called “Troop 1,” a designation it held until 1930 when the Juniata Valley Council was reorganized into three districts.

The State College area troops were located in the Nittany Mountain District Number 3, so a “3” was placed in front of the troop number and it became Troop 31. All former troop members, leaders and families are invited to attend the special campout and activities. “We expect about 100 to 150 people, so it will be a big event,” said event organizer Craig Colwell, an alumnus of Troop 31. Troop 31 has a long and interesting history. The troop’s first scoutmaster was Penn State professor Milton W. Eddy, who, when asked on the charter application if he was an American citizen, wrote: “Yes, 10 generations ago Samuel Eddy landed at Plymouth, Massachusetts on Oct. 29, 1630.” The troop’s first Eagle Scout was MacLean Babcock who earned the rank in 1934. As of July 2013, Troop 31 has awarded

the Eagle Scout rank to 170 Boy Scouts. From 1914 to today, the troop has actively camped outdoors. Early campouts were held at the Forestry Camp in Stone Valley and in Spring Mills, where the troop traveled by train from Lemont before hiking to Penns Cave. Since those days, Troop 31 has traveled across North America to Canada, New Mexico, Alaska, Minnesota, Florida, New York and Washington, D.C., among other locations. Troop 31 has served its youth through two World Wars, the Korean Conflict, Vietnam and every national crisis since 1914. Troop members sold Liberty Bonds during World War II, marched in patriotic parades, held countless flag ceremonies, grew victory gardens, collected scrap metal and prepared numerous young men to serve in America’s military services. The troop has been led by 30

Scoutmasters during the past 100 years, including John W. Long, who later became president of Lycoming College. The current scoutmaster is Frank Savino. Working through 170 Eagle Scout Leadership Projects and hundreds of community service projects, Troop 31 has served Centre County well. “Scouting For Food,” building picnic tables and chuck boxes at Seven Mountains Scout Camp, helping with the Arts Festival trash crew, parking cars at the 4th Fest and many more service projects have been taken on by Troop 31. As it begins to celebrate its 100th year of scouting, Troop 31 is alive and well. It consists of 59 scouts, one scoutmaster, 14 assistant scoutmasters, 18 committee members and one chartered organization representative. Ed Strause serves as a liaison between Saint Paul’s

Weaver’s Store celebrates first year of service in Penns Valley By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

MILLHEIM — Weaver’s Store, just west of Millheim on state Route 45, is celebrating its first year of service to the Penns Valley area. The Millheim store is a branch of the original Weaver’s Store in Denver, Lancaster County, which was founded by Irvin and Ruth Weaver in 1959. A second store was opened in Leola, Lancaster County. The 10,000 square foot Millheim store opened for business on April 23, 2012. According to store manager Kevin Weaver (not related to the founding family), the Weavers were longtime friends of the Burkholder family, which owns Burkholder’s Market near Millheim. “Mr. Burkholder said, ‘put a store up here next to me’,” said Kevin Weaver. “This store complements his business and vice-versa.” Weaver’s is a conservative, faith-based company, whose stores are closed on Sundays, honoring them as a day of rest. Christian music is played on the public address systems at all its stores.

The store features a large inventory of clothing, hardware, sporting goods, furniture, housewares, fabrics and many other items. Weaver’s customer base includes many local Amish families, and the store carries many items specific to Amish needs. Like many other businesses in the Penns Valley area, the store features a special buggy parking area with a horse hitching rail, away from the automobiles in its parking lot. Weaver says one of the store’s hallmarks is the accepting of special orders of services and merchandise from customers. “We’re continually listening to customers’ requests,” Weaver said. As an example, he cited a window screen repair service, recently added in response to customer requests. “This summer, we’ve repaired a lot of screens,” he said. He said the store now sells hunting licenses, also in response to customer requests. As part of the anniversary celebration, Weaver’s is having an Archery Expo on Aug. 16 and 17. Factory representatives and a professional bow technician will

Men’s Brotherhood Class and the troop. “It’s very unusual to have the same church chartering a troop for 100 years. Saint Paul’s has been great to work with through all that time,” Colwell said. Many activities are planned for the anniversary campout according to Colwell, including archery, shooting BB guns, scout skills, fire building, first aid, a dinner, a formal flag ceremony and a campfire after dinner. Local politicians Scott Conklin and Glenn Thompson, both avid scout supporters, plan to attend and speak at the anniversary event. Troop 31 alumni include a long list of local businessmen, doctors, attorneys and many other prominent citizens of the Centre Region. For more information about the event, call Colwell at (814) 777-2999.

‘Geek Speak’ coming to Schlow From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — Geek Speak is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Aug. 21 in Schlow Library’s Downsbrough Community Room. When you go to Geek Speak, you’ll be smack in the middle of the Geek Dimension. New and totally cool, Geek Speak is all about discovering the fascinating, the arcane and the peculiar while hanging out with the equally geekily-minded. If you love the obscure, the offbeat or the obvious with a double-upside-down twist, Geek Speak is the place to be. Indulge in lip-smacking treats, hone in on unexpected talks that expand the mind and launch the imagination, and play conversational bumper cars with fellow attendees. For this first in the Geek Speak occasional series, you’ll see a 3-D printer in action, wrap your mind around the bio-mechanics of belly dancing, and chomp on Chipotle burritos. Suggestions about future themes and talks will also be explored, so bring your (tin-foiled) thinking caps. Like the library, Geek Speak is free and open to the public.

Memorial golf tournament more important than ever STATE COLLEGE — The Kevin Dare Foundation is holding its eighth annual Golf Tournament and Auction to benefit injured and ill student athletes on Sept. 16 at Centre Hills Country Club in State College with an 11 a.m. shotgun start. The Kevin Dare Foundation is a non-profit organization, established in 2002 after the tragic death of Penn State pole vaulter and national champion Kevin Dare. He died while competing at the Big Ten Men’s Track and Field Championships, after hitting his head on the metal planting box where he had planted his pole for the jump. Dare’s friends and family created the Kevin Dare Foundation in his honor to keep his legacy alive and to help other injured and ill student athletes. The mission of the foundation is to help these young people realize their dreams of a college degree, even after their athleticism has been taken away. The scholarships are to be used for a college or university of the student’s choice. Samantha Russell is the executive director of the Kevin Dare Foundation. According to Russell, the “Life … Back on Track Scholarship Program” is a great success. “Over 45 students applied and

this year we have three recipients,” she explained. “We are in the process of featuring them on our website, Facebook and Twitter over the next week. The first, Tyler Vitello, is currently posted.” The following students are this year’s scholarship recipients: n Cole Benovy of Hershey. He is attending Penn State’s University Park Campus and he was supported by THON. His family is a THON family. Benovy was a talented swimmer and hoped to compete in college before he was diagnosed with leukemia. He spent more than six months in the hospital and missed most of his senior year. Subsequently, he lost all hope of earning an athletic scholarship. n Tyler Vitello of Saddle Brook, N.J., who is attending Montclair State University and hopes to become an athletic trainer. He broke his neck and injured his spinal cord during a high school football game. His story can be found at: http:// kevindare.com/#/news-updates. n Lynette Henshaw of Hammonton, N.J. “She won the award last year as well, and was our inaugural recipient,” said Russell. “Lynette was a district champion in the long jump and was on her way to states when she was diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma, called large cell anaplastic lymphoma. After over a year in and out of hospitals and stem cell

treatment, she is finally in remission and will be attending St. John’s University in Queens, N.Y., enrolling in the pharmacy program there. She hopes to one day have an impact in medicine.” The foundation tries to help the students who are not receiving scholarships in other ways, helping with things like computers and books. The golf tournament pulls people together for fun and competition, while raising money for the scholarships” To register for the golf tournament, visit www.kevindare. com. You can also donate on line. The foundation is seeking contributions and sponsorships for the golf tournament and the businesses that take part will be recognized on the Kevin Dare Foundation website, and in the foundation’s end of year newsletter and donor honor roll. The foundation is holding silent and live auctions and is currently seeking donations of items for those. A donated item, service or certificate will go a long way to help send some deserving students to college. Athlete safety and education are high on the list of goals for the foundation. In partnership with Penn State and Eventys, the foundation developed the first ever pole-vault specific helmet, which is also ASTM approved for snow sports. Helmets are free of charge

State High selects distinguished alumni From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — The State College Area High School Alumni Association has announced its 2013 Distinguished Alumni and they are members of the same class. Retired Navy Vice Admiral James W. Houck and Andrew Bingaman, who served a distinguished career in the FBI, both graduated from State College in 1976. Bingaman will be honored posthumously, having passed away due to complications from lymphoma in 2006.

JAMES W. HOUCK

Upon leaving State High, James W. Houck entered the U. S. Naval Academy Class of 1980 and ended his naval career 32 years later as a vice admiral and judge advocate general (JAG) of the Navy. As Navy JAG, he was the principal military legal counsel to the secretary of the Navy

and chief of naval operations and led the 2,300-plus military personnel and civilian employees of the worldwide Navy JAG Corps community. After serving as surface warfare officer on the destroyer USS Caron deployed to the Mediterranean and Central America, Houck entered the Navy’s law education program and graduated from University of Michigan Law School with his juris doctorate in 1985. In 1993, he obtained a master of laws degree from Georgetown University Law Center. He began his legal career prosecuting and later defending naval personnel in courts-martial. Other noteworthy assignments included service as deputy legal counsel to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; legal counsel to the commander of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet; legal counsel to the commander of the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquartered in Bahrain; and congressional liaison attorney in the Navy’s Office of Legislative Affairs. Immediately prior to becoming JAG, he served as commander of the Naval Legal Service Command, overseeing 17 prosecution and defense commands around the world.

His personal decorations include Navy Distinguished Service Medal, Defense Superior Service Medal, Legion of Merit (five awards), Defense Meritorious Service Medal and Meritorious Service Medal (three awards), Navy Commendation Medal (two awards) and Navy Achievement Medal. After retiring from the Navy in 2012, Houck returned to State College and joined Penn State’s Dickinson School of Law and School of International Affairs as a distinguished scholar in residence. He was recently named interim dean of the school.

ANDREW P. BINGAMAN

Even before Bingaman’s passing, retired FBI supervisory special agent James T. Clemente — as advisor to the TV show “Criminal Minds” — named a character after him in a 2005 episode as a way of showing his high regard for him. Clemente later wrote, “Andy fought cancer and terrorism with unbounded bravery.” Bingaman lettered in football and wrestling at State High and wrestling at Penn State before graduating with a bachelor’s degree in accounting. After obtaining a Penn State accounting degree and his

She has a tendency to be shy around new people, but turns into quite the cuddly lap dog when she gets comfortable. Honey is looking for an adult-only home with parents who plan on giving her lots of love and attention. While not a fan of cats, she would do fine with some other dogs. Honey is not crate trained, though she is house broken and can be trusted at home alone. If Honey sounds like the perfect fit for your home, you can read more about her at http://www.centrecountypaws.org/dogs/ or visit her in person at PAWS, 1401 Trout Road in State College. Honey has a guardian angel, who has graciously paid her adoption fee as a gift to her future forever family.

CPA certification, he joined the FBI, and he achieved a perfect score on the bureau’s physical fitness test, placing him in the top 1 percent of all agents in FBI history. Bingaman first served as special agent in white-collar crime, fraud and ANDREW P. bank robberies and BINGAMAN helped establish the first-ever Securities Fraud Squad in New York City. He later supervised the Fraud Against Government Squad. Overseas, his initial duty was assistant legal attache for the US Embassy in Bucharest, Romania, followed by investigation and tracking in Saudi Arabia and Yemen of terrorist financing of bombings against U.S. and U.K. citizens. His final assignments were in Washington, D.C., as assistant section chief of the Counter Terrorism Bureau and unit chief of the Terrorism Financing Operations Section.

STATE COLLEGE – Centre Region Parks and Recreation will host “Aqua-Dog Day” from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sept. 8 at Park Forest Pool, 2100 School Drive. The event, which will fund tree plantings at Oak Hall Regional Park, is for local dogs who love swimming pools. For $5 per dog, owners can bring their dogs for a swim. Only dogs will be allowed in the pools. Owners must be at least 18 years of age, and are responsible for their dog’s behavior. Dogs must remain on a leash when not using the pool.

Chefs Competition draws attention to locally-grown food When I pulled my car into the Military Museum grounds on Aug. 6 for the Boalsburg Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market, a man directed me to overflow parking. This was definitely a first. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been coming to the market for six years, and while attendance has steadily grown, Aug. 6 attracted a record crowd. Much of that had to do with the third annual Boalsburg Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market Golden Basket Chefs Competition, for which I was happily one of the judges. If a thriving food Michele Marchetti culture is one of the is a freelance writer pillars of a strong comand the former munity, the market managing editor said a lot about the viof StateCollege. com. Contact her at tality of central Pennsylvania. As the parmitchmarchetti@ gmail.com ticipating chefs diced, sautĂŠed, and plated, food lovers mingled, shopped, gave interviews, and networked. Representatives of the Appalachian Regional Commission, a federal-state partnership focused on sustainable community and economic development, even made the market a stop on a regional tour of local food systems. Everywhere I turned, people talked food. At the chefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cooking stations, Jamie Steffen of the Nittany Lion Inn sliced a hunk of Stone Meadow Farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Taleggio cheese, while self-professed foodie and longtime State College resident Nancy Anderson suggested grilling it in stacks with eggplant, tomato and basil. Anderson attributed the record turnout to a rising consumer consciousness about the choices we make around the dinner table. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all chasing the same thing,â&#x20AC;? she remarked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to live well.â&#x20AC;? The very idea of the Chefs Competition was to showcase just how much is available at the market, particularly this time of year. The market could easily replace a trip to the grocery store, providing just about everything (ok, not the olive oil) you need for dinner. And if you needed inspiration, there was plenty served up by the participat-

THE BOALSBURG FARMERSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; MARKET Golden Basket Chefs Competition usually features some of the best chefs in Centre County. This year was no exception. ing chefs. Part of Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agricultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Local Foods Week,â&#x20AC;? the event had chefs preparing a main dish and two sides from ingredients produced by Boalsburg Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market vendors. The chefs attended the previous weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market to get ideas and place their orders. During the judging most of the chefs remarked that more than 90 percent of their ingredients came from the market. Team Ottoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, which clearly seemed to be having the most fun, took top prize for a dish that featured chicken roulades (the meat is pounded, stuffed and rolled) with morel mushrooms, spicy goat cheese, shallots, and ciabatta bread. A reduction of red plum and sugar gave the dish a hint of summer sweetness. The beautiful, heaping entrĂŠe, which included a side of grilled vegetables and a tri-color potato salad,

made me think of the great feast surrounding the Ghost of Christmas Present. While Team Ottoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Steve Spanelli, Jake Bahr and Alex Guralnick) walked away with top prize, the market vendors deserve their own accolades. The winning dish featured ingredients from Cow-a-Hen Farm, Patchwork Farm, Clan Stewart Farm, Gemelli Bakers, Way Fruit Farm, Byler Goat Dairy, Ardry Farm, The Piperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peck, and Ottoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own garden. There were other standouts, including a corn side dish from Sichuan Bistro that reminded me of kettle corn, a delightful tomato jam from Carnegie Inn, cookedto-perfection salmon from Faccia Luna, a scrumptious spinach and arugula salad with berries from Kellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Steak and Seafood, and a killer plum dessert quartet from the Nittany Lion Inn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was up until

The Great Mish Mosh After moving to Pleasant Gap eight years ago, Brian Herman noticed a void when it came to quality used and antique furniture. Having owned a furniture store in the past, Herman decided to put his skills to work and provide the area with a new, used and antique furniture store. And so eight weeks ago, The Great Mish Mosh was born. “The definition of Mish Mosh is a unique collection of everything. Very popular today are the American Picker and the flea market type TV shows,” Herman said. “This is a place where people can come and get stuff that already has been flipped, or stuff that is ready to go in the home or stuff that they can flip, stuff that is inexpensive, yet are quality and made of wood that they can take home and repurpose themselves.” Located at 128 S. Allegheny St., The Great Mish Mosh offers everything from home décor, small knickknacks and costume and estate jewelry to full dining room sets, bedroom suites and everything in between. But how Herman secures these unique and antique items is an unspoken secret. “That’s the secret of being in this business. You don’t really tell other people,” he said. In offering a wide range of items, The Great Mish Mosh features quality furniture like Stickley and Ethan Allen to cheaper furniture that buyers can repurpose themselves. With reasonable pricing and quality furniture, The Great Mish Mosh offers area residents with alternatives to high pricing. Currently, Ethan Allen is advertising a hutch on sale for $3,500. The Great Mish Mosh as the same hutch for $1,000. “Just because somebody owned it for six months and passed away or something happened, at our store you can save $2,500,” Herman said. According to Herman, this great pricing combined with a great atmosphere and unique pieces is what makes The Great Mish Mosh so special. “Our pricing is reasonable. It’s a very friendly store. We have a large turnover. We have new items every week. It’s

THE GREAT MISH MOSH features a little bit of everything — from knick knacks to full dining room sets.

unusual and hard-to-find items,” Herman said. “I think the best thing about the store is that we have something for everybody. It’s just not antiques. Not everybody likes old stuff. Not everybody likes new stuff. Everybody who uses furniture can come in here and find something they like.” Because of today’s busy lifestyle, Herman said The Great Mish Mosh provides customers with the opportunity to get great pieces from auctions or yard sales without having to spend a large amount of time looking. “They can come here and it’s a one-stop-shop.” With hopes to keep growing and an eventual opening of a second store, Herman hopes to appeal to locals. “(I) hope to have a good reputation in the neighborhood and have not only Bellefonte, but State College and surrounding area people come in and shop at the store,” he said. A grand opening celebration for The Great Mish Mosh will take place Aug. 16, 17 and 18. Refreshments will be provided.

Fair

Festival offers something for everyone By SAMI HULINGS

shulings@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — With more than 100 artists and food vendors, free entertainment and children’s activities, the Bellefonte Arts and Crafts Fair is a family affair with something for everyone. Featuring pottery, glass, fiber, jewelry, wood, photography and painting artists and craftsmen, will transform Talleyrand Park into a fun, friendly and hometown arts and craft scene on Aug. 16-17. According to the fair’s director, Debbie Hamilton, the arts and crafts festival is a celebration not only arts, but of family, friends and foods. “It is a time when friends and family come to spend time together and time to re-acquaint and meet the artists,” she said. “We are a warm and friendly fair, people come to beautiful Talleyrand Park with their families to relax and stay for the day. Visitors shop, eat, listen to music, talk with old friends and make new ones.” As a committee under the umbrella organization of Historic Bellefonte Inc., the

fair also celebrates the natural beauty of Bellefonte’s Victorian atmosphere and its downtown businesses through “Hometown Bellefonte,” an area featuring local merchants. Hamilton said Hometown Bellefonte began as a way to include downtown businesses in the arts and crafts festivities when the fair moved to Talleyrand Park 30 years ago. The committee’s hope is that fair visitors will stop at the merchants’ booths and visit their stores. “The fair could not survive without the support of our local businesses and the borough of Bellefonte. We are grateful for all of the support that is shown to us,” Hamilton said. In addition to Hometown Bellefonte, the fair also features numerous areas specifically for children. Dominion Science Center will feature a hands-on science museum full of fun and education experiments and demonstrations both days of the festival. Discovery Space of Central Pennsylvania will offer science activities on from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday as a way to stimulate curiosity and spark imagina-

tion in children. Face painting will also occur throughout the weekend. Hamilton said including children’s activities at the fair is very important, as children play a vital role in the celebration. “If you have children enjoying themselves by making artistic items, that gives them opportunities for self-expression parents have something to treasure. Children learn that art is fun,” she said. Also specific to children is the Young Artisan Area. Hamilton said Centre County children between the ages of 8 and 17 are eligible to sell their handcrafted work on Saturday. “This encourages youth to develop their artistic qualities and set goals. Our visitors to the fair look forward to buying from these artists,” she said. The weekend will also feature a broad range of musical entertainment. With two stages, a main stage near Water Street and the gazebo near the train station, visitors can spend time enjoying music and relaxing after perusing through booths. “You can sit under the tent, listen to the music and eat your lunch or just remem-

ber back to when,” Hamilton said. Another important feature of the fair will be the silent auction. The sale begins on Friday afternoon and will end Saturday at 5 p.m. The highest bidder at that time is the winner and must pick up his or her item by the close of the fair at 7 p.m. All items sold are donated from the artists in the fair. Proceeds will benefit projects supported by Historic Bellefonte Inc. Free shuttle bus transportation from Bellefonte High School to the fair will begin at 10 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. Free parking is also available for fair visitors at the high school. Hamilton encourages those wanting to visit the fair to use the shuttle service to take advantage of the weekend full of arts and fun. “There are a variety of artists to visit with and shop in their booths. Visit with old friends while you are listening to entertainment. You can walk or take the shuttle bus to the downtown area and walk around the Victorian downtown,” she said. For more information about the Bellefonte Arts & Crafts Fair, visit bellefontefair. org.

THERE’S SOMETHING for every taste at the Bellefonte Arts and Crafts Fair. Clockwise, from left, children check out one of the displays; funnel cakes are a popular treat; people check out the many tents in downtown Bellefonte during last year’s Arts and Crafts Fair.

Arts and crafts fair offers good food, entertainment BELLEFONTE — The arts and crafts vendors in Talleyrand Park on Aug. 16 and 17 will be out to show off their best work and will offer shopping opportunities that many people wait for all summer. I love seeing the fair set up in Talleyrand Park. It is a beautiful framework for the annual Bellefonte Arts and Crafts Fair. However, I have to confess, that what I am looking forward to — nearly as much as the arts and crafts — are the foods and entertainment. There is something magical and luring about the smell of sausage frying, the popcorn’s aroma wafting over the air, and the sweet, sugar-dusted glimpse of funnel cakes going by on a happy customer’s paper plate! Yummy! The food offerings this year are as varied as ever and here is a partial list: n Colonel Pacoes Kettle Korn Connie Cousins covers Centre n Scott’s Roasting — whole hog County for the loose sausage subs, sausage-in-a-dish, Centre County loaded sausage nachos and drinks.

Most of the year, I can ignore them, but when summer fair season is here, I have to have an order of fries — with lots of vinegar! So once the fries are in hand, I will be ready to check out the entertainment. That list is so long, I have had to do a little pre-fair investigating. The investigating was mostly via Internet websites. It is hard to pin down musicians to speak with, but I learned a lot from listening to their music online.

Mighty Ducks

Lemont captures County League title with big win over Howard By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

sports@centrecountygazette.com

HOWARD — The Lemont Ducks are back on top of the Centre County Baseball League. After a one-year hiatus following last season’s loss to Philipsburg, the Ducks regained the title with a 20-9 victory over Howard on Tuesday evening at Howard Elementary School. Lemont lost the first game of the series to the determined Hawks, but it came back to win three in a row to take the five-game series 3-1. The victory marked the eighth time in the past nine years that the Ducks have won the CCBL championship and the 11th time in the past 14 years overall. And they did it in style against a competitive and aggressive Howard team that knocked off both No. 1 Philipsburg and No. 2 Lewistown in the tournament before running into No. 3 Lemont. Kyle Wright and Ryan Boonie each smacked three-run homers for the Ducks, who overcame an early five-run deficit by scoring 17 runs over a three-inning span. Wright’s shot over the left-center field wall capped a 10-run, thirdinning outburst that gave Lemont a 14-5 lead and essentially put the game and the championship into the hands of the Ducks. “The first pitch I took I wanted to get a gauge on his (Howard pitcher Luke Gardner) speed,” Wright said about his home run, “time him up a little bit. He gave me a great pitch to hit, and I put a good swing on it. “You saw in the first they came out with a couple walks and a couple big hits on their

LEMONT CELEBRATES after winning the County League baseball title with a 20-9 victory over Howard on Tuesday night. own. Any time you get down to Howard, you can hear the crowd. The crowd is electric here, and they’ll ride you and ride you. But we knew, six innings left, come back, answer, calm them down. Two, three big innings, and they relaxed a little bit and we kept piling in on from there.” The game looked like anything but a Lemont win in the first inning. Howard opened with a five-run rally that was sparked by a lead-off homer by Scott Zuback and then finished off with a

three-run shot by Kyle Womer. In between, Lemont starter Renny Parthemore, struggling with his control, issued two walks and hit a batter. Lemont came right back in the second inning and plated four runs on RBI hits by Eric Wolanski, Scott Glass, and Nick Crothers that drew the Ducks to within a run. Lemont then broke things open in the third. The Ducks sent 13 men to the plate, had nine hits, and pushed

10 runs across to make the score 14-5. Beside Wright’s homer, Crothers, Boonie, Glass, Ben Sallade, and Erik Kempton all had RBI hits in the inning. “Guys had a better plan today,” Boonie said, “looking for a pitch in a spot, trying to get fastballs, getting in plus counts, laying off the off-speed stuff, and getting into counts that were in our favor.” Parthemore got into trouble in the Howard third with more control problems and gave up

three runs on only one hit, but he was replaced by Clint Hicks, who managed to settle things down and allowed only one more run over the final four innings. Meanwhile, Lemont added three more in the fourth (on Boonie’s home run), two more in the sixth, and another in the seventh to end up with an even 20 runs. In all, Lemont swatted 20 hits, including nine extra-base hits, and had six players with two or more hits in the game. Boonie, Sallade, Kempton, and Glass all had three hits for the Ducks. “This team has done as good a job as any team we have coached at managing the highs and lows,” Lemont coach Loren Crispell said. “We went from being 13-3 to 13-8 in the span of six days, and then two days before the playoffs began we got a win, kind of righted the ship, and the guys established some momentum and have played well ever since. “I’m so proud of the guys, getting to see them hold the trophy up, especially for the vets like Wright, Wolanski, Kempton, Smith, and even the young guys. There’s a good tradition here, and the guys have worked hard to keep it that way.” Crispell also had good things to say about Howard and its sprint into the finals. “It means a lot to guys who have been around here for a while,” he said, “to see guys like (Howard pitcher) Brian Pelka, Travis Price, Travis Fisher, and Clay Smith get to the finals. They are guys who make this league better, and it was nice to see them make a good postseason run.”

Nittany Lions mix basketball, culture By JOHN PATISHNOCK

sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — For a history buff like Patrick Chambers, there were plenty of reasons for excitement. Forward Brandon Taylor, meanwhile, had sweets on his mind. It’s been anything but a typical week for the Penn State men’s basketball team, as coach Chambers and his squad have spent nearly the last week across the Atlantic Ocean, competing against three squads which feature older, more experienced competitors and players who were drafted into the NBA. On Monday, the Nittany Lions battled Okapi Aalstar, which competes in Belgian’s First Division. A day later, they took on St. Jan Antwerpen, a member of Belgian’s Second Division. Today, Penn State tangles with Binnenland, which comprises part of Holland’s Second Division. After almost two months of beating up each other in practice, it’ll be great for the Nittany Lions to see someone else on the court, Chambers said. But this trip isn’t just about basketball. The team will sightsee parts of Holland, London and Paris, presenting plenty of opportunities to soak up the foreign cultures. “I’m a history guy, so I love it,” Chambers said. “I can’t wait. I can’t wait to get over there and I can’t wait to explore.” Chambers has visited Africa and Argentina before but had never set foot in Europe before this trip. Point guard Tim Frazier and forward Ross Travis have both been to Mexico but like Chambers, not to Europe. Chambers and Frazier were both looking forward to seeing the Eiffel Tower and other iconic tourist attractions, while Taylor was thinking of something entirely different. “I heard Belgian chocolate is really good,” Taylor said, laughing.

Of the trip, Taylor added, “This is going to be great for basketball and just for team bonding.” Therein lies the balancing act the team faces: absorbing as much culture as possible while improving on the court. Most importantly, the players experienced everything together, one of the biggest factors as to why Chambers felt it was best to make the trip this year, when he feels the team is on the verge of an upswing. “I really think the locker room is where it starts,” Chambers said. “I think when you’re going to be together for a solid week — every minute of every day — they come together as teammates, as brothers, as you would hope, because I really truly believe you win in the locker room before you win out here on the court. That’s the No. 1 goal.” Chambers said he wouldn’t always allow the score to dictate how he coaches. He’s interested in using multiple lineups and seeing how players have developed since last season. There are also a few differences in rules, such as teams have only eight second to cross the midline at the start of a possession, instead of 10 seconds in college. And Chambers was impressed with the level of execution the international teams displayed after watching game tape. “It’ll present some challenges,” he said of the European style. “However, I think this is going to be a real nice test for our guys.” Chambers will allow the players to walk around in small groups while sightseeing, saying he doesn’t want anyone going off alone but that he’d give the guys the freedom to do what they want for a few hours. He wanted them to make the most of their opportunity. “I’m going to talk to them about embracing (the trip),” Chambers said. “Maybe

this isn’t the cool thing to do, maybe you’d rather just lay in your hotel room, but you need to experience what the world is, what’s out here. Come in here with eyes wide open.”

NEWS AND NOTES

After missing the last nine months with an Achilles injury, Frazier noted he hasn’t felt any lingering pain during the team’s 10 early practices. Chambers said his point guard is back 100 percent physically and about 85 to 90 percent mentally, and Frazier confirmed those numbers as accurate. Frazier hasn’t been held back in practice, and Chambers estimated he’d play Frazier between 20 and 30 minutes a game this week. “As far as changing direction, it’s been the same,” Frazier said, comparing himself to a season ago. “Obviously, it’s going to get better as time goes, playing against different guys, going over to Europe against grown men. It’s going to help me and I’m going to see stuff and after that we’ll watch film and I’ll get better from there.” Frazier’s return hasn’t been without bloodshed, however. During a recent practice, Frazier went for a steal as guard D.J. Newbill came off a ball screen. The two smacked heads, which caused Frazier to require 12 stitches and Newbill 16. Chambers noted he liked the intensity that was displayed and Frazier downplayed the seriousness of the collision, joking that if it were a boxing match, he’d have won since he needed fewer stitches. That ferocious mentality and the upbeat way with which Frazier plays have spilled over to everyone else. “It’s great to have him back,” Travis said. “The pace has definitely picked up in practice. I think the main thing when Tim’s out there, is it elevates everybody’s level of play.”

Chambers noted the team didn’t run into any problems with securing passports for all the players, coaches and administrators making the trip. The team took care of all the arrangements in the spring, making contact with the players’ parents to ensure everything was procured. The team will have spent almost a week overseas by the time the Nittany Lions return Saturday, having chartered a bus to Philadelphia last Saturday before then taking a one-way plane trip to Belgium.

Lemont and Howard clash in wild County League game By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

sports@centrecountygazette.com

HOUSERVILLE — A little controversy and a few close calls can surely spice up a baseball game, but Lemont and Howard went above and beyond in both categories during Lemont’s contentious 3-2 win on Sunday afternoon. It all started with an unremarkable ground ball. Howard’s Travis Price hit the ground ball down the first base line to lead off the fourth inning in this pivotal third game of the championship series played at Spring Creek Park. The umpire almost immediately put up both arms — signaling foul ball? — and everyone stopped. Price didn’t even leave the batter’s box. Except that at the last minute, the ball rolled back into fair territory just short of the bag, and first baseman Johnny Martinez picked it up and stepped on the base. The ump then pointed fair ball and called Price out. What followed can only be described as a baseball equivalent of pandemonium. After thrown helmets and bats, loud arguments, and at least four umpire conferences, the call at first base was upheld and Price was called out and then ejected from the game for arguing. This led Howard to protest the game and to call for an immediate decision about the protest from league officials, which led to Lemont protesting that the protest decision has to be made at the conclusion of the game. All of this happened as players and coaches walked back and forth onto the field from the benches arguing with the umps. But Lemont pitcher Matt Smith, who calmly warmed up as the controversy swirled around him, refused to be distracted. He went on to throw a complete, seven-hit, two run game that allowed the Ducks to eventually hold on for the victory over the Hawks and move to within one

game of regaining the CCBL championship. After, of course, the league finally ruled against the Howard protest and upheld the Lemont win. “There’s nothing you can do about it,” Smith said about the call. “Everybody makes mistakes. It’s unfortunate, but the players get all fired up and it just takes away from the game. It’s all about our fans coming out. You just want to keep it friendly for everyone, but for me to get involved, it is not going to do me any good in the grand scheme of things.” Lemont took a 1-0 lead in the first inning after a single by Martinez — his first of three hits in the game — a steal, and then an RBI hit by Kieran Kempton. The Ducks extended their lead to 3-0 in the fourth when Eric Kempton led off with a triple down the left field line and scored on Kyle Wright’s infield hit. Two batters later, Scott Glass drove in Wright on another infield hit with what turned out to be the winning run in the game. “I got a good one to square up there, and it found a hole,” Kieran Kempton said. “I never played in a game like that before, a lot of controversy, a lot of close calls. We have to hit a little better, we have to field a little better, but the important thing is we stuck it out and ground out a win.” Howard, a relentless team that never seems to be out of a game, cut Lemont’s lead to 3-1 in the fifth inning after a triple by Kyle Womer and a sacrifice fly by Rusty Gates. In the sixth, the Hawks cut it to 3-2 after three consecutive singles — including an RBI hit by Tyler Womer — put runners on first and third with no outs. But another controversial play by Martinez saved a run, or more, for Lemont. He dove and knocked down a line drive by Dan Cole, touched first base with his hand while still on the ground, and then got up and threw home to nail Gage Gardner trying to tie the game. The umpire originally called Cole safe, but changed his call to out after yet another umpire conference.

Smith was then able to get Travis Fisher to ground out to end the inning and the threat. “That play at first with me when the guy hit the line drive and the tag and throw home,” Martinez said. “I never saw anything happen like that. I tug the bag with my bare hand. I picked up the ball with my left hand and reached back with my right hand, and that’s where the confusion was. “He (the umpire) called him safe be-

cause I didn’t tag the bag with the ball. But I still had possession of the ball, and that’s the same as if I tug it with my foot.” Smith then retired the Hawks in order in the seventh to sew up the game, pending the outcome of the protests. “They (Howard) are a great team,” Smith said. “You can see they battle the whole game. They don’t give up. So to go out and to be able to go against them and compete against them is a great opportunity.”

Fish Open grows into an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;incredible eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; PHILIPSBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Anyone who remembers the song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working for the Weekendâ&#x20AC;? released in 1981 by the rock band group Loverboy, gets what the lyrics is trying to sell. But if you are golf professional in the Centre Region that song has no real meaning due to the fact the hard workers at the Centre Region golf facilities work the weekends from late February until late October and maybe into November. A true weekend is something to think of during the golfing off-season. So with that thought in mind, Philipsburg golf professional Paul Fischer created an event that would help take the pressure off the golfing professionals in the area and thus the Fish Open was born in 1996. The 18th annual Fish Open ProAm even has its own sponsor in Dux Head Environmental Services and John Dixon covers Senergy Marketing Group. The Progolf for The Centre County Gazette. Am featured 121 amateurs and 15 club Email him at professionals representing 16 country sports@centre clubs throughout the eastern United countygazette.com. States. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish I could tell you why so many come from all over for this event,â&#x20AC;? Fischer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not the most prestigious event, it is not the best paying tournament but it has just gotten bigger and better every year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started in 1996 with 10 professionals and 30 amateurs,â&#x20AC;? Fischer continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After a few down years of only 24 then 28 the next few years it has kept growing and growing (this is the eighth year in a row we had 136 players). Pat Terpak came up from Maryland, a foursome from Kane C. C. in McKean County southeast of Erie, a foursome from Hershey Country Club, we had other guys drove up from Harrisburg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It blows my mind that it has grown into such an incredible event,â&#x20AC;? added Fischer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All I can do is tell you ask around to some of the players and ask them why they come up. I got an email Thursday morning that sums it up and it said, Thanks Fish for yet again another great time. Best event of the year! We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to play next year, I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say who it is from but it was from a fellow professional so that means so much to me.â&#x20AC;? For golfer Greg Kight of Mingoville, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the camaraderie of the players and the fact that everyone has a legitimate chance to win the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I gave it some thought of why the event is what it is and one unique thing about the event is the professionals competing with the amateurs,â&#x20AC;? said Kight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most Pro Am events are team events with an individual pro purse. The Fish Open is whoever shoots the lowest score wins and then you throw in individual net, team net and a team gross with eight on-course prizes and all 136 players have equal chances on winning something.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so proud of this event because of where it has started from and what it has grown into,â&#x20AC;? explained Fischer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could not do this though without the help of the golf committee, the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board and especially the members. I also couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pull any of this off without the help of all the sponsors and especially my staff (Andrew Mann, Ryan Nartatez, Jarrod Wood, Adam Timchak and Carter Fischer)

Low ticket allotment for Ireland game provides surprise By JOHN PATISHNOCK

sports@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State will be fortunate to receive anywhere between 1,000 and 2,000 tickets for next year’s game against Central Florida in Ireland. That was the big takeaway from Tuesday’s CBICC Membership Luncheon at Celebration Hall, Penn State board of trustees member Ted Brown said. After Mark Wharton, the newly appointed assistant athletic director of the Nittany Lion Club, finished his roughly 15-minute talk to nearly 50 people, only two questions were asked. Both revolved around ticket availability and prices, though the second clearly was the big one. Brown asked for clarification on obtaining tickets for the game against Central Florida, and whether or not people had to go with the travel packages offered since some fans wanted to stay with friends or family in Ireland while traveling to the game; the travel packages, offered through the athletic department, include hotel accommodations. “I was glad I asked him that question at the end, because all of us have a totally incorrect perception on the allocation of the tickets for the game next year in Ireland,” Brown said. “The athletic department and the university need to get the word out that what the actual facts are because the actual facts are a lot different than the perception.” Brown added that the average person has the perception that the only way to get a ticket is through the travel packages. “That’s more true than not,” he said, “but that’s not totally factual.” “We’re trying to push the conversation,” Wharton said afterward, in response to when he’ll know for sure how many tickets Penn State will receive. “The short answer is Ireland controls them all. Croke Park, the site of the game, the Gaelic Athletic Association and Central Florida reside in front of Penn State, in terms of ticket priority. Since the Nittany Lions will be the visiting team, they fall fourth on the ticket-allotment totem pole.

PENN STATE’S game with the University of Central Florida at Croke Park in Ireland could prove to be an extremely tough ticket. In part because of this, Nikki Potoczny, director of the Nittany Lion Club’s annual fund, said during the talk “it’s more complex than a bowl situation.” Croke Park’s website lists its capacity as 83,200, though Potoczny noted some seats will be blocked out during the game, given that the teams’ benches are in the stadium and some seats are typically not available given the flow of the game and where seats are situated around the stadium. She added the Nittany Lion Club doesn’t have any planned statements to the public regarding ticket availability, though new information will be released when it becomes available. Also noteworthy was Wharton said once

all of Penn State’s allocated tickets have been sold, they will be re-seated based on priority within the Nittany Lion Club. Croke Park is the official home of the GAA, which oversees numerous sports, one of which is a combination of rugby and American football. Season-ticket holders for teams that play in the GAA have already bought almost all of their allocated tickets. Potoczny said the Nittany Lion Club doesn’t have a number for how many tickets Penn State fans have purchased, saying that the travel agency overseeing the trip is tracking those numbers. Wharton and Brown engaged in a friendly give-and-take during the talk, during which Brown agreed with Wharton that

the international contest was a good idea, giving Penn State’s players and fans a bowl atmosphere while the program remains under a four-year postseason ban. That there’s extreme interest from fans in Ireland to watch Penn State matters, too. That’s important to keep in mind, Brown said, offering a smile and a final thought. “This is the key: It’s not the athletic department’s fault, it’s not the alumni association’s greed, it’s a fact because of those clubs over there, that they’re going to buy most of the tickets themselves,” Brown said. “It’s important to know because it’s a positive story and it’s a positive thing for Penn State.”

Preseason loss leaves plenty of room for improvement The best part of Saturday’s 18-13 loss to the New York Giants was that the game didn’t count in the grand scheme of things. While Pittsburgh, like the other 31 teams in the NFL, get a month’s worth of games to work out the kinks and sand off the rust. Saturday left an awful lot of room for improvement, whether the discussion rolls towards starters and key contributors or depth guys and folks who won’t be collecting NFL paychecks in about a month. Either way, there’s work to be done before games start to mean something.

The team’s reactions to those harbingers of possible disaster should present themselves soon. As is the case with almost every NFL team privileged enough to call Pittsburgh home since televisions had color screens, special-teams gaffes plagued the Steelers. A ineligible man downfield penalty on a punt try begat a blocked punt on the next snap. Despite starting at the Pittsburgh 6, New York tallied a field goal. Three points hanging over the heads of special teamers. Fast forward to the third quarter, David Gilreath fields a punt inside his own 5, a block in the back negates what minimal return Gilreath picked up. So, what happens? Quarterback Landry Jones collides with Baron Batch on a handoff. The ball squirts into the end zone, where Jones falls on it for a safety. Five points given to the Giants via special-teams blunders. It could have been worse. Gilreath muffed a punt later in the third, giving New York possession in great field position. A missed field goal helped Pittsburgh dodge that bullet. But hey, Shaun Suisham connected on both field goal tries. It wasn’t all bad. There’s also this crushing reality: If the Steelers lose starters on the offensive line for longer than a series, life could be pain-

Remember when as a kid playing Madden NFL or Tecmo Bowl how you’d just send as many pass rushers as you could to wreak havoc on opponents? Wait. Was that just me? OK, never mind. That pixelated scenario in the last paragraph could easily play out if the Steelers starting offensive line — a rather capable group when healthy — sees any sort of damage to it. Maybe the Steelers should have quilts underneath the grass at Heinz Field to protect their corps of passers. Oh, there’s a flip side to the pass rush game and Pittsburgh showed signs of effectiveness but there were a few moments when the linebackers were simply man-

Zordich out with torn ACL

StateCollege.com

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera announced Sunday night following practice that fullback and former Nittany Lions, Mike Zordich has torn the ACL in his left knee and will miss the 2013-14 NFL regular season. Zordich, who is battling for a spot on the active roster was injured in Carolina’s preseason game Friday night against the Chicago Bears. While at Penn State, Zordich was a crucial part of keeping the program balanced and focused during the fallout from the Jerry Sandusky scandal. On the field he was a key to every offensive possession counting for a little over 400 yards of offense but was an emotional leader on and off the field. Zordich came to the aid of fellow Nittany Lion Michael Mauti late in Penn State’s 2012 season who suffered a similar injury. Mauti is now playing for the Minnesota Vikings.

handled by the Giants. For example, on the Giants’ lone offensive touchdown play — a 57-yard strike from Eli Manning to Victor Cruz — LaMarr Woodley got to Manning ... In enough time to tap him long after the ball was on its way to Cruz, who had beaten William Gay and found himself behind the Steelers secondary. A few strides later and it was salsa time. By the way, Cruz’s salsa dance is in need of some preseason work as well. Positives came from the Week 1 preseason game too. For example, Pitt product and Johnstown native LaRod Stephens-Howling rushed for 40 yards with the first offensive unit after rookie Le’Veon Bell was scratched from the game due to limited practice participation earlier in the week. Stephens-Howling showed solid burst

while weaving his way through the first two levels of the Giants defense on Pittsburgh’s second drive - a 13-play march which resulted in a field goal. The defense — well, the third-team defense — registered a fumble recovery in the end zone to post Pittsburgh’s lone touchdown. That touchdown belongs to Adrian Robinson, a second-year linebacker out of Temple, as rookie quarterback Ryan Nassib never quite got a grip on a shotgun snap deep in Giants territory. The greased pigskin sequence that followed was begging for “Yakety Sax” to play in the background. In the end, it’s still preseason football.

Community theatre to stage ‘The Music Man’ By ANNE WALKER

correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — It takes a special show to really put the “community” in community theatre. State College Community Theatre’s production of Meredith Wilson’s “The Music Man” does exactly that. From the opening scene where traveling salesmen commiserate about their marketing woes to the finale featuring an untrained crew of kids playing all the instruments of a marching band, this show highlights how much fun a town can have with a little bit of faith, forgiveness and imagination. Director Martha Traverse feels that “a happy show makes a happy cast.” And her cast does have a ball with this upbeat, energizing show filled with hit tunes, amusing dialogue and an ironic plot. Set in River City, Iowa, in 1912, the show’s main character, Harold Hill, travels from town to town posing as a boy’s band director. His inability to read one note of

MATT GREER stars as Harold Hill and Ashley Moore as Marian Paroo in “The Music Man,” which is being staged by the State College Community Theatre beginning Aug. 16. music doesn’t really matter, because as soon as he collects the money he skips town. Until he arrives in River City. “He usually just hops on a train and leaves,” says Matt Greer who plays Hill, “but this time he gets the opportunity to stick around and see what happens.” Hill gets that chance because he falls in love with River City’s librarian, Marian

Paroo, played by Ashley Moore. Coincidentally, Paroo also teaches piano and determines to expose Hill as a fraud. She lives with her widowed mother and younger, timid, lisping brother Winthrop. The little boy gets his hopes up about the boys’ band that Hill promises to organize, but his sister doesn’t believe a word of it. “It’s so important to her that Winthrop

be happy and healthy,” Moore explains. “You don’t mess with her family.” But Hill manages to charm even the skeptical librarian. Her feelings toward him soften as he hopes they would. However, he never counts on her charming him. And this leads to his transformation. At its core, “The Music Man” tells the story of a con artist’s redemption as Hill becomes drawn to the various town residents, and realizes that he just might care about people more than he cares about making a quick buck. “First he tries to fleece them,” Traverse says. “Then he gets to know them personally and sees the error of his ways.” The town folk undergo their own redemption as well. A gossipy gaggle of society women warm up to Paroo. The town ne’er-do-well sets himself to work assisting Hill. Little Winthrop begins to talk and smile. “River City is a puzzle,” Greer said, “and Harold Hill and Marian have to figure out how to fit into it.” Wilson’s score highlights the production’s charm. It includes timeless songs such as “Seventy-Six Trombones,” “Til There Was You,” and “Gary, Indiana.” In his first work with SCCT, music director Ian Duh enjoys the challenge of a live orchestra and vocalists. “I really like ‘Music Man’,” he said, “and when I heard they were doing it, I said ‘I want a piece of that action.’” Always a crowd-pleasing, feel-good, energizing show, SCCT’s production will open Aug. 16 and will run two weekends, with shows at 8 p.m. Friday and 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday.

BASSNECTAR WILL make a stop at University Park. The concert is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Oct. 10 at the Bryce Jordan Center.

Bassnectar to play BJC From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — Bass music progenitor Lorin Ashton, a.k.a Bassnectar, is kicking off the second half of the year in high-style with the announcement of his fall Immersive Music Tour of North America which includes a stop at the Bryce Jordan Center at 7 p.m. on Oct. 10. Special guests are KOAN Sound and Andreilien. The tour brings Bassnectar’s most extensive production to date, designed to immerse the crowd in low-end frequency and ethereal visuals to match, to BJC. “Our goal is to bring you the most immersive Bassnectar experience possible this fall with enhanced production, enhanced ambassador immersion, and an alphabet of special effects. We want to create the ideal atmosphere for people to lose

themselves in the depths of music, like a journey into another world,” Bassnectar said. The Immersive Music Tour follows Bassnectar’s highly successful spring run which had him going back to basics playing more intimate shows for his notoriously diehard fans. This spring also saw Bassnectar selling out two nights of the historic Red Rocks Amphitheatre for a second consecutive year. He was also included on “Verve Remixed: The First Ladies,” remixing Nina Simone’s classic “Feeling Good,” released on July 9. Tickets are on sale at the Bryce Jordan Center, Downtown Theatre and Altoona Ticket Outlet, online at www.ticketmaster. com or www.bjc.psu.edu, or by phone at (800) 745-3000. For more information, visit www. bassnectar.net.

Chefs bring authentic Asian cuisine to Lemont By CYNTHIA HILL StateCollege.com

LEMONT — If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. The Florida heat was too much for Nikki Tang and Mati DitIN, so they brought their unique brand of Asian cuisine to Happy Valley. Tang and Dit-IN closed their Daytona Beach restaurant to bring authentic Thai and sushi fare to the State College. They’re setting up shop in the old Alto’s Restaurant on Pike Street in Lemont. They’ve named the place Kamrai Thai and Sushi Restaurant. Tang and Dit-In were drawn to State College by the small-town feel and friendly neighbors. “We appreciate that a lot. It’s really amazing and it really helps us. We feel

warm inside, and we wish to stay here forever if we can... It’s going to be authentic, very authentic,” says Tang, who’s the restaurant manager. Dit-IN is a chef who specializes in Thai food. The sushi dishes will be prepared by sous chef Kris Chainarongsophon, who hails from Hong Kong. The restaurant owners hope to create some excitement in the community. “We’re not looking to make it less than what we eat and what we serve at home,” she said. Tang and Dit-IN have signed a lease with former Alto’s owner Dave Fonash. Even though Asian cuisine is not unusual in the area, Fonash believes the Thai-sushi combination will attract customers. “Their ideas seem to be a little bit more

unique, and I think they have a lot of experience with running this kind of establishment,” he said. They’ve already put in new dining furniture, shipped in cooking equipment and are finishing the menu. “I hope people in this town are going to love my restaurant, love my food,” said Chainarongsophon. The crew has worked all summer to get the restaurant ready to open. Chainarongsophon says he’s encouraged by the neighbors who stop by and say, “‘We’ll come. We’ll come!’” “It’s exciting were getting a new restaurant, especially the Thai sushi,” said Jenny Conway who works nearby. “It’s going to be very tempting to want to run across the street and grab a spring roll.”

The restaurant will serve raw and cooked sushi, including tempura lobster, a sushi roll that’s breaded and deep-fried with lobster filling. Tang said there will be plenty of healthy options on the menu. That includes Satay or meat skewers, Tom Yum or mushroom and meat soup and summer rolls. Alcoholic beverages won’t be on the menu at all but customers are welcome to bring their own. Tang said, for that reason, they’re focusing more on making good sushi and good food. They hope to open by the end of August. In traditional Thai language Kamrai means “prosperity” and “everything is positive.” For the Lemont business district that sounds very promising.

Annuities: Not so guaranteed One of the most complicated and misunderstood investment products is annuities. At the simplest, annuities are an insurance products sometimes mixed with investments that are meant to provide a fixed income in retirement. It thus prevents annuity owners from outliving their assets in retirement. The product can be used to create a pension to provide monthly income throughout the life of the annuitant (usually the owner). It sounds like a great Judy Loy, ChFC, is a registered deal and at its most investment advibasic it is a good idea. sor and CEO at Yet, it is a complicated Nestlerode & Loy and expensive product Investment Advithat tends to be sold sors, State College.

growth or dividends inside of an annuity are not taxed when they happen. Contributions do not obtain any tax benefits. Because of the tax benefits, annuities need to be held until 59½ (like retirement accounts) before pulling any of the money or face penalties (10 percent). In addition, because one of the main advantages of an annuity is the tax-advantage, putting an annuity inside of an IRA is like (as an article from USA Today on December 2011 stated) like wearing two bras, it’s just unnecessary and expensive. Because of the high costs and “guarantees,” annuities tend to have surrender charge periods. This is a time frame after purchasing an annuity when you cannot pull money from the annuity without penalty. Typically, the surrender charge starts at 7 percent and decreases annually spanning from one to 12 years or longer. Many will allow you to take 10 percent annually without the penalty (if you are under 59½, the tax penalty still applies) Many annuity prospects hear ‘guarantee’ and they are sold on the prospect of an annuity. However, the guarantee on the annuity typically deals with the amount of payment that can be received over the recipient’s life. It is ordinarily based on

of contracts issued previously. Insurance companies (Hartford, AXA) are sending notices to annuity owners that generous guaranteed returns, payouts or death benefits are being reneged upon. Other insurers are eliminating investment options with a goal of lowering the client’s balance and thus lowering the payout that is required. Many insurers, like Hartford, are getting out of the annuity business given the high costs and their inability to offer guarantees that work. Everything being done by insurance companies such as offers of buyouts, changing investment options, extra withdrawals affecting guarantees, limiting further investments, etc. are legal and many have been approved by the SEC and/or the state’s insurance departments. The reality is that all investors can invest in the same pool of assets. Talk of outsized guarantees or returns should be questioned and may not be sustainable. Overall, annuities that offer special benefits that aren’t found elsewhere will have a downside, just like any investment. Always ask questions and clarify any concerns or pitfalls with where you are putting your money.

current interest rates, the principal in the annuity and the life expectancy of the recipient(s). Purchasers of an annuity need to be aware that the guarantees for payments and/or returns are only promised by the insurance company issuing the annuity. There is no other backing to the annuity’s guarantees (unlike CDs, there is no FDIC insurance). This is why it is vital to know the credit rating (an indication of financial stability and strength) of the issuer before purchasing an annuity. Also, any additional guarantees through riders (income, inheritance, etc.) will typically come with additional costs. Be aware that because annuities are a combination of insurance and investments and therefore come with higher costs/fees than other investment products. This means any returns that you might get from the investments will be minus those extra costs. A recent article from the New York Times even puts a question to the guarantees that annuity owners were promised and for which they paid. The article from July 12, 2013, titled “That Bland Annuity Notice May Be Anything but Routine,” recounts the recent change by many annuity issuers to the ‘guarantees’ that were part
