Grange Fair set up presents challenges By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

SWEET MEMORIES: A crowd surrounds Sentimental Journey, a historic B-17G that was used in the Pacific during World War II, during the first hours of its visit to University Park Airport.
B-17 takes flying enthusiasts on a ‘Sentimental Journey’ By BRITTANY SVOBODA
bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — One of the best ways to really see Happy Valley is from above. Some of the best viewing places, it can be argued, include Beaver Stadium and Mount Nittany. The view from 2,500 feet above ground in Sentimental Journey, a 70-year-old Boeing-17 that landed at the University Park Airport earlier this week, isn’t bad either. At about noon on Monday, a crowd greeted the B-17G and its crew from the
Airbase Arizona Commemorative Air Force outside the general aviation building. Crew members included pilot Russ Gilmore, copilot Brian Churchill, crew chief Al Wilson and loadmasters Jerry Washburn, Dave Gross and Mel Pepitone. All are volunteers who donate their time to fly Sentimental Journey throughout the country and share the history of those who fought in World War II. After a brief viewing period, Sentimental Journey took off again around 1 p.m. for its first flight around the county. The historic plane has been restored, but still
retains its original finishing and charm. World War II veteran Lt. Fielder Newton rightfully secured the best spot in the aircraft — in the plane’s nose in the bombardier seat. “It was great,” Newton said about the ride in Sentimental Journey. “I enjoyed every minute of it.” Newton, 90, enlisted in the Army Air Corps Reserves when he came to Penn State as a student in 1942. Soon after, he and about 230 other students were sent to Journey, Page 4
CENTRE HALL — This week, thousands of fair-goers from Centre County and beyond will descend on Centre Hall for the 140th Grange and Encampment Fair. Those attending the fair will see plenty of tents and RVs, that’s for sure. What many of the fairgoers didn’t see was the hard work that went into setting up the grounds for those tents and RVs. According to RV secretary George Witherite, it’s a painstaking process. “It takes quite a bit of work, because RV campers aren’t all the same length,” Witherite explained. “They vary in length and people tend to buy newer campers and bigger campers.” Since RVs and campers have been supersized in recent years, Witherite said that presents some challenges. “Some of the new (models) don’t fit into the regular spots. I have to find a bigger spot for them. It’s a constant thing; you’re trying to fit people into holes. It goes on and on,” Witherite said. Nearly 1,000 tents and more than 1,500 RVs will be packed into the Grange Fairgrounds. Most people will only see the final product, Witherite said. Making the RVs fit is Grange, Page 6

Accuweather hosts meteorological conference By HARRY ZIMBLER For the Gazette
STATE COLLEGE — Accuweather Inc., hosted the summer conference of the American Meteorological Society from Aug. 12 through 14 in State College. Accuweather President Dr. Joel Myers delivered the Keynote address focusing on the future of technology and weather forecasting. The AMS exists to establish better relationships between government, commercial businesses and research institutions, with each of these entities having a role to play in delivering the best weather information to the nation. According to Myers, the United States has the best weather forecasts of any place in the world. The AMS helps to continue that excellence. The American system of data gatherOpinion ............................. 7 Health & Wellness .......... 8, 9
ing in the weather industry is unique. The National Weather Service and the commercial sector are dealing with rapidly accelerating change. “Parabolic change,” said Myers. “I have made calculations that show that 90 percent of all the weather data that has been created ever, was created in the last 700 days. Try to measure that against the 100,000 years of human history. It’s incredible.” Much of the success of his business — and the weather industry in general — is attributed to the “upward mobility of that the free enterprise system encourages. Competition leads to innovation and better products for everyone.” Myers’ plenary address was well-received by those in attendance. “In four years we’ll have 100 times more Accuweather, Page 5

Pleasant Gap teen injured in crash By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT
where Moyer’s SUV passed through. Police say Moyer’s SUV narrowly missed some trees. The vehicle jumped over some small hills, coming to a stop in the McDonald’s parking lot. A trailer carrying an ATV that Moyer was towing came loose during the accident, leaving the trailer, ATV and SUV severely damaged. Public relations staff at the Geisinger Medical Center in Danville have confirmed that Moyer was transferred to the hospital from Mount Nittany Medical Center. Moyer is currently in serious condition, though the hospital could not release further details.

STATE COLLEGE — A 17-year-old from Pleasant Gap was injured after losing control of his SUV last weekend. Police say they believe Montana Moyer fell asleep while driving along East College Avenue at about 7:30 a.m. on Aug. 17. It happened as Moyer’s SUV approached the fork with the Benner Pike near the Nittany Mall. Moyer’s vehicle hurtled off the roadway, careening through bushes and a grassy area near the McDonald’s restaurant. Gouges in the grass are still visible from

United Way kicks off fundraising campaign By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com
BOALSBURG — Colleen Williams knew that she was “preaching to the choir” at the United Way’s 2014 general fundraising campaign kickoff dinner, held Aug. 18. The campaign co-chair knew the crowd gathered before her — made up of United Way volunteers and supporters — didn’t need to be sold on the nonprofit organization’s importance to Centre County. Despite this, she stressed how important the voice of the choir is to any congregation. Williams said it will be the volunteers and representatives from the United Way’s partner agencies gathered before her that will ultimately give life to this year’s fundraising campaigns. “We’re asking you to be a voice for Centre County,” Williams said. United Way representatives revealed two important numbers at the dinner at the Mountain View County Club in Boalsburg, and both were met with excited applause. The first was $510,838: the amount raised over the sum-
mer through the Pacesetter Campaign, in which employees at area businesses get a head start on making donations. Tammy Gentzel, executive director of the Centre County United Way, said that the Pacesetter Campaign is meant to “get everyone all geared up and excited” for the night’s second big number — this year’s total amount of community need, which is $2,125,000. With nearly 25 percent of this need already raised from the Pacesetter Campaign, Genztel said she’s “thrilled” to get this year’s campaign under way. “We asked for a 5 percent increase over the summer from the businesses that we work with, and we had many shoot way past that,” Gentzel said. “I’m so excited for this year’s potential.” Though Genztel said the needs within the community have grown since she’s been involved with the United Way, so has the response from volunteers and supporters. The money raised in their campaigns helps fund various nonprofit organizations in the Centre Region in three main areas: education, income and health.

Journey, from page 1 Atlantic City, N.J., for boot camp and combat training. Despite training in a B-17, Newton served in a B-24 while in combat against the Axis with the 8th Air Force Division. From May 1943 to December 1945, he served as a navigator in 17 combat missions. When the war ended, Newton returned to Penn State to finish his degree, he said. He graduated in 1948 with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. Soon after, he and his wife moved to Latrobe, where they lived for more than 37 years, he said. “We always wanted to come back (to Centre County),” Newton said. Eventually they did return to the area, which makes experiences like the one Newton had Monday possible. Before the flight, Gilmore prepped those going on and shared some of the history of what men, like Newton, endured while serving in combat on planes during the war. During a typical mission, Gilmore said, a plane would fly between 25,000 and 30,000 feet above the ground, and bombings could last three to eight hours. Since the plane wasn’t insulated and had no heat, frostbite was a fate many endured. Most wore sheepskin-lined suits, he said, which provided warmth. Their bulk, however, made moving around the aircraft difficult and dangerous, reasoning enough for why the 8th AF suffered the most casualties during World War II. Sue Moyer, whose father, Edward K. Fox, served in the 8th AF, was also aboard Sentimental Journey’s first flight in the county.

SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY pilot Russ Gilmore, left, talks with World War II veteran Fielder Newton before the two board the historic B-17G on its first flight around Centre County. With wide eyes, she traveled to and from the radio room and the waist gunners during the flight to take in a slice of history, despite saying that she was not a fan of flying. Moyer, a reference assistant at Penn State Libraries and member of the 8th Air Force Historical Society, has done much research on the division, specifically the
Schweinfurt missions and Black Thursday, which her father was a part of before sustaining a leg injury during combat in 1943. Moyer also brought memorabilia and displays commemorating her father’s service that will be featured in the general aviation building at the airport throughout Sentimental Journey’s stay in Centre County.
Reunions and icons, like Sentimental Journey, are important for World War II veterans, Moyer said. “They just wanted to be remembered,” she said. Her father frequently reunited with other veterans, and the things he experienced became easier to talk about as time passed. “It was important,” Moyer
said. “He needed closure.” Sentimental Journey will be in the general aviation section at University Park Airport until the morning of Monday, Aug. 25. A flight in the plane begins at $425. Plane tours are $5 for individuals and $10 for a family. For more information about the CAF and Sentimental Journey, visit www.azcaf.org.

TERRELL JONES, Penn State’s vice provost for educational equity, has died, the university announced.
Penn State announces passing of Terrell Jones By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State University executive vice president and provost Nicholas Jones has announced the passing of Terrell Jones, vice provost for educational equity. Nicholas Jones made the announcement on the website for the Office of Educational Equality. “It is with deep sorrow that I’m writing to inform you that our colleague and friend, Dr. Terrell Jones, vice provost for educational equity, passed away this morning,” said Nicholas Jones on Tuesday. “He will be greatly missed across the university not only for the impact of his contributions to Penn State, but also for simply the wonderful person that he was.” Terrell Jones had been on medical leave for the last few months, according to Nicholas Jones. He is survived by his wife, Carla, and children. Accuweather, from page 1 weather data than we do now and a million times more by the year 2026,” he noted. Most people are not prepared for, or even aware of, the changes they will confront. Myers attributes the rapid changes to three major drivers — the Internet, the introduction of the personal computer, and the explosion in mobile communication. “Changes will occur faster and faster and they will be dramatic,” Myers continued. “For example, oranges are now being picked by robots. In 14 months you’ll see a machine that picks grapes. No one will drive a car by 2025.” How will the speed of change impact the way we learn, live and work? “Let’s look at the education system. It will have to change dramatically. Fifteen years ago a 55-year-old professor would

Terrell Jones was frequently sought to speak publicly about diversity issues and was “known in higher education for his unique agenda and knack for teaching people how to appreciate diversity,” according to the university. Terrell Jones was also a published author on the issue of cultural diversity and instructed courses on race relations and cross-cultural counseling. He was a board member of International Partnership for Service Learning and a diversity consultant for several Pennsylvania school districts and private sector organizations. He was also a faculty member of the Summer Institute for Intercultural Communication for more than 10 years. Terrell Jones also served as president of the Pennsylvania Black Conference on Higher Education between March 2008 and February 2010. He earned both his master’s and doctoral degrees at Penn State and a bachelor’s degree at Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania. impart information to an 18-year-old student. “Today that is reversed for the first time ever. Now, an 18-year-old can handle information faster than a 55-year-old professor. And a 6-year-old can handle it faster than an 18-year-old. In the near future we’ll have to focus on gaining wisdom and social skills not data.” For Accuweather this will mean dealing with extremes — 45-day forecasts and minute-by-minute forecasts. “We are experts in world geography,” Myers said. “And we can provide pinpoint forecasts in greater resolution. “ Weather affects every aspect of human behavior, from travel to recreation, safety and health. “And this is true globally,” Myers stated. “We need, therefore, to provide our users with the best data available. That means the convergence of technology.”

STATE COLLEGE — While every television in every bar and restaurant in Pennsylvania will most likely have the Penn State-Central Florida football game on when the teams clash at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 30, Nittany Lion fans might have a difficult time distinguishing one party from the next. That’s where Success With Honor and Rotelli come in. Success With Honor, a nonprofit organization that helps connect volunteers with Penn State-related charities, will host a viewing party for the Penn State season opener at Rotelli, a pizza/pasta bar and restaurant located in downtown State College at 250 E. Calder Way. Tickets are $30 and can be purchased online at http://events.r20.constant contact.com/register/event?oeidk= a07e9oysz6p7ca01507&llr=b9v4smpab]. Each ticket includes an all-you-can-eat Irish-style breakfast buffet that will feature bangers, eggs, Irish bacon, soda bread and

other items, and one alcoholic drink for attendees 21 and over. Tickets are limited to the first 130 entrants and organizers expect the event to sell out, with $20 of every purchase going to Success With Honor. Doors will open at 8 a.m., and the event will also feature a silent auction, giveaways and prizes. Brian Allen, a former basketball player at Penn State who’s on the advisory board of Success With Honor, had some initial conversations last year with Dave Krauth, co-owner of Rotelli. Allen said he and Krauth wanted to use their connections in the area to serve the local community. At the time, they weren’t sure what they’d do, and Allen said that’s partly because he and Krauth wanted to keep their options open so they could contribute in a variety of ways. This brings us to the first Penn State football game played overseas. Allen said that given the popularity of Rotelli, not just among students but also among alums and community members, the location and timing seemed right for the groups to partner for this unique event. “When the opportunity arose to create a viewing party for Success With Honor, Dave and I agreed: Here’s one of those times where we can do something positive in the community,” Allen said. “It’s an opportunity, through Success With Honor, to shine a light on the good things Penn State alumni are doing in their respective communities.” For more information on Success With Honor, visit www.successwithhonor.org.
Freeh ordered to show cause in request to move Spanier trial By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com
A judge has ordered former FBI director Louis Freeh and his attorneys to show cause as to why the defamation lawsuit ousted Penn State president Graham Spanier filed against Freeh should be moved to federal court. U.S. Middle District Court Judge Malachy E. Mannion said in an order Friday that Freeh’s attorneys should “show cause as to why the case should not be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction” on or before Monday, Aug. 25. In July, Freeh’s attorneys asked to have Spanier’s defamation lawsuit moved from Centre County Common Pleas Court to U.S. Middle District Court. The defendant’s attorneys argued in the filing the case should be heard in federal court because Freeh and members of his firm, Freeh Sporkin & Sullivan LLP, are not residents of Pennsylvania.
In Friday’s order, Mannion said Freeh’s notice of removal is “insufficient.” At Spanier’s request, a Centre County judge granted a stay in this lawsuit last February due to the former Penn State president’s looming criminal trial. Freeh appealed that decision to Pennsylvania’s Superior Court, which ruled it lacked jurisdiction. Freeh’s attorneys argued Spanier should not have been given a stay in the case because he has yet to publicly state his defamation allegations against Freeh. Spanier announced his intent to sue Freeh last summer after the former FBI director released a report paid for by the university. In the report, Freeh wrote that Spanier was part of a conspiracy to cover up abuse allegations related to former football coach Jerry Sandusky. In 2012, a jury found Sandusky guilty of 45 counts of child sexual abuse and a judge sentenced him to 30 to 60 years in state prison.

FIVE PERCHERON HORSES were hitched for the first time in Pennsylvania. The “suicide hitch” was performed by Dave Rohrbach of Bee Tree Trail Percherons.
Ag Progress Days enjoys good turnout, officials say By HARRY ZIMBLER For the Gazette
PENNSYLVANIA FURNACE — The 38th edition of Penn State’s Ag Progress Days was a great success, according to Bob Oberheim, show manager. Ag Progress is one of the largest and most important agricultural expositions in the northeast. Oberheim noted that despite a slow start due to bad weather on Tuesday, the event still surpassed its goal. He estimated that the crowd topped 50,000. “Even with the rain we had more than 47,000 people each day,” he noted. “And Thursday’s crowd was better than usual.” This year, 485 commercial exhibitors sold their products and brought attention to their services. Top attractions included a well-publicized workshop on air seeder plants and a drill demonstration. There was also a workshop on farmer-generated data, its benefits and risks. Family concerns are always at the center of AG Progress Days and this year was no exception. The Family Room offered a variety of nutritional exhibits, and also drew atten-
tion to bees, the great pollinators of farming. “The Family Room is an exhibit that continues expand,” Oberheim said. Much of the focus of this year’s event was on the current milk price. “Right now the milk price is strong and dairy farmers have money to spend on new products,” said Oberheim. “On the other hand, crop farmers are seeing lower prices and are more conservative in their spending.” Oberheim said that the popularity of Ag Progress with commercial interests is the fact that customers can see a wide range of equipment at the same time in the same place. “I heard people saying that they like coming to one location to see three or more options for a single piece of equipment. “And the quality of our audience is excellent, with 60 percent directly working on farms. It was a great three days.” This year’s equine events included a first. According to Dave Rohrbach, of Bee Tree Trail Percherons, the hitching of five percheron horses in a line was the first time it was successful in Pennsylvania. He called it “the suicide hitch,” as he made his way around the track in full command of all five horses.

like the ultimate game of Tetris — or one of the the world’s largest jigsaw puzzles. “The ground doesn’t grow,” Witherite joked. “It’s still the same size, but we’ve got to fit them in. We overlap sometimes, but we find a way to get them in.” It takes several days for everything to come together, Witherite said. The surprising cool temperatures have helped the process along. “It helps. When you’re staking out, it makes a big difference because it’s hot out here in the field. We pound stakes — we have a crew that does that — and it takes about three hours,” Witherite said. Once the stakes are in, those need to be tagged. “We had guys tagging starting Thursday night,” Witherite said, “and they didn’t finish until Friday around noon.” Of course, Witherite doesn’t do it all himself. The aforementioned crew plays a vital role at the Grange Fair. “Everyone plays a part,” Witherite said. Witherite has been the RV secretary for 12 years. “I’ve been helping for a long time. For 20 or some odd years, I helped park campers,” he said. In the end, it’s not about mapping out spaces or putting stakes into the ground. According to Witherite, there’s just something about helping people get moved in and set up that gives him a sense of pride. “Whenever I see people happy and I know I was able to get them into the fair, that’s the part I enjoy,” he said. “Knowing that I was able to make them comfortable for the week.” The fair gets bigger and bigger with each passing year. Witherite said that he’s not surprised by the growth. “It really is a family fair,” Witherite said. “That’s why it’s special.”

Should we mourn celebrity deaths? By JOEL MATHIS and BEN BOYCHUK McClatchy-Tribune News Service
The deaths last week of comedian-actor Robin Williams and actress Lauren Bacall unleashed an outpouring of grief across the country. The shocking circumstances of Williams’ death — suicide by hanging — sent his fans reeling. Even President Barack Obama released a statement last Monday, calling Williams “one of a kind.” Americans often react this way when a beloved actor or entertainer passes away. But are we mourning the wrong people at the wrong time? How much is too much? Columnists Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk weigh in.

FDA wades into cost, benefit of e-cigarettes
It’s easy to sneer at Americans’ celebrity obsessions. If People magazine, TMZ or US Weekly disappeared from the earth, many of us would feel no small measure of satisfaction. But count me among the millions who posted “RIP Robin Williams” to Facebook and Twitter last week upon learning of the actor-comedian’s death. Silly? Superficial? Possibly. But here’s the thing: Robin Williams wasn’t just a celebrity — not just somebody known to us through the tabloids and gossip columns: He was an artist. I’m particularly thinking here of a few movies from his late-’80searly-’90s golden era. I was 16 when “Dead Poets Society” came out — and if ever there was a movie designed to be embraced by theater geeks and aspiring teen writers this was it:
By DAN K. THOMASSON McClatchy-Tribune News Service
How much does the health benefit of giving up cigarettes outweigh the lost pleasure of smoking? Last spring, the Food and Drug Administration proposed rules to control e-cigarettes along with tobacco products. Under federal law, the FDA is required to determine whether the rules yield significant benefits as measured against the costs. The FDA, taking a stab at that, has proposed that the benefit of not smoking should be discounted by 70 percent to account for the loss of pleasure. That offset is mind-bogglingly high, argues a prominent group of economists. That “is a big threat to really taking effective actions that would reduce tobacco use,” says Frank Chaloupka of the University of Chicago at Illinois, a leader of the group. The FDA calculation is under review. If it stands, tobacco companies might be more likely to succeed in legal challenges to smoking regulations. The mere effort to calculate a cost vs. benefit in this case seems based on the idea that smokers continue to smoke purely for pleasure — and not because they’re dealing with an unwanted addiction. Most smokers start before they’re age 18. Who starts smoking at 30 or 40 or 50? Virtually no one. To the contrary: Most people try to stop. Gallup reported in 2013 that 85 percent of smokers say they have tried to quit at least once in their lifetime and almost half have tried at least three times. In 2010-11, just over half of smokers attempted to quit, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported. Clear away the statistical arguments and what’s left is this: Many people try to quit because they know they’ll feel better and will increase their life expectancy, but they fail because of the power of the tobacco addiction. We won’t hazard a calculation on the pleasure of a puff. But given the known costs — lung cancer, other cancers, heart disease, stroke, emphysema, COPD, reduced fertility, higher infant mortality — we suggest a different name for this whole exercise. Let’s call it the misery avoided index.
Being a governor seems to be risky business these days. Take the former chief executive of Virginia, for instance. Robert McDonnell and his former Redskins cheerleader wife are in the midst of a mildly sensational trial over charges they sold their influence for $165,000 worth of favors from a wealthy (well somewhat) businessman. And, of course, there is Illinois, which seems to have a penchant for ending the political careers of the state’s top elected officials by sending them to the slammer. But there’s nothing like Texas when it comes to treating what most consider the normal business of politics as a major crime, especially when the prosecutor is of the opposite party persuasion. That appears to be what happened to Gov. Rick Perry, who is facing charges that vetoing funds of the Austin County prosecutor’s office constitutes a felony that could send him away for more than 100 years if he were convicted, which seems highly unlikely. For the record, I’m not a huge fan of the three-term Republican governor whose ambitions are once again pointed toward 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. But having covered local, state and national politics for nearly 60 years, I do know a roust when I see one, even when the person or party trying to pull it off expresses wide-eyed inno-

It’s funny how we mourn people we don’t know. Oh, we think we know them. How could we not? Millions of people watched and laughed with Robin Williams over the years when he per-
cence over such allegations. The “who us?” disclaimers by the Democrat-controlled prosecutor’s office in Austin — a place that is no stranger to such shenanigans — on the very face of them are an insult to the intelligence of the lowest IQ on the University of Texas football team. To quickly refresh your memory (it shouldn’t take long since the event just happened), a grand jury indicted Perry on criminal allegations that he misused his office by vetoing the budget Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg uses to investigate corruption. She had been arrested for drunken driving and made more than a little spectacle of herself in the police station. She refused to quit and Perry exercised the veto of state funds. His reason seems plausible: She isn’t responsible enough to administer the money. That may or may not be true, but folks are left with this to chew on. She certainly didn’t act that way as she got processed by the cops who confiscated an open bottle of vodka in her car and her protests reached the level one might expect from a person of her station who has indulged a bit too much. To understand this mess one needs only to realize that the DA’s office in Austin, the state capital, is a minority Democratic Party island in a conservative Republican sea that covers most of the state. The office also is the scene of past similar escapades, none of which have been

“Dead Poets Society” made us feel understood in a way we thought those passionless adults never could. Robin Williams made me want to read Walt Whitman. There’s value in that. Not every movie he made or joke told was equally worthy, admittedly. But the problem with modern celebrity culture is not that Americans jointly express their sadness at the death of somebody like Williams — or Johnny Cash, say, or Whitney Houston — folks who either inspired us or examined the human condition in a provocative way. No, the problem is that we celebrate too few such folks, make too much space for those artless folks whose claim to fame is ... being famous. Kim Kardashian has neither inspired me nor made me think, yet I’m subject to entire magazine racks featuring her face (and other body parts) whenever I walk into a grocery store. We’ve bred an entire generation of reality TV stars and magnified their exploits through a 24-7 news cycle that demands to be fed empty calories. Mock that, if you want. But don’t begrudge me my grief at Williams’ passing. His movies inspired me; cynicism can be its own kind of emptiness, if it closes you off from the possibility of such inspiration.

formed on stage and screen. The fact that he was particularly candid about his struggles with alcohol and drug abuse made us feel even closer to him — and makes his untimely death that much more difficult to take. But we do tend to go overboard with these things. The reaction to Williams’ suicide is nothing compared to the torrent of grief that accompanied the death of Michael Jackson, gone five years this summer. Were Jackson’s last years riven with scandal and embarrassment? People didn’t care. It’s strange. Almost unseemly. An interviewer a few years ago asked Williams about this peculiar phenomenon of Americans’ obsession with celebrities and their demise. Williams was close friends with Christopher Reeve — they were classmates at Juilliard in the early ’70s. Reeve, of course, became famous as the star of the Superman films of the late 1970s and ’80s. He was paralyzed in a horseback jumping accident in 1995 and died in 2004. Was it hard, the reporter from the London Guardian asked Williams, to see people mourning “Superman” when this was a man Williams knew and loved personally? “It was a weird thing,” Williams said. “It’s a whole different game.” What’s missing — what’s always missing — is perspective. One celebrity death is a national tragedy. A hundred nameless, faceless suicides in the United States every day are a statistic. And thousands of Christian martyrs dying on the other side of the world are somebody else’s problem.

successful. Former U.S. House Republican leader Tom DeLay was indicted and convicted by then prosecutor Ronnie Earl on charges of misusing campaign funds. The conviction was overturned. Earl previously had indicted U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson, a Republican, alleging she had misused state resources when she was state treasurer. The case ended during the first day of trial. With this record, it would be difficult for most observers to believe the charges against Perry are anything but politically motivated. Perry, meanwhile, calling the indictment a “farce,” has made it clear it won’t deter his efforts to examine the possibility of seeking the Republican nomination for president in 2016. Despite the fact that the legal problems are based on such a shaky premise that a veto is a criminal act, the mere problem of defending against them could slow down his White House efforts. It probably was inevitable that Perry, who has had more control of the state’s power structure probably than anyone who previously held the job, would finally run into a concentrated effort to derail him after 14 years, even if it seems to me to be more of a nuisance action than one based on any real offense. One of the state’s leading Democrats was quoted as saying the action against Perry is a reminder “that there ain’t no cowboy that can’t be thrown.”

Back-to-school transitions for teens HERSHEY — Preparing to ace subjects such as time management, independence and identity can drive high school and college students — not to mention their parents — to weeks of worry and anxiety as summer melts into September. Michael J. Murray, associate professor of psychiatry at Penn State Hershey, says there are steps both parents and teens can take to smooth the transition. Parents of children moving from middle to high school need to remember that interaction with friends will be less about play and recreational activities and more focused on social communication and personal expression. As teens network with peers and navigate different social groups, they may feel isolated and alone. “It’s important to help them understand that is typical and normal,� Murray says. “They might say they are the only one not fitting in, but you need to remind them that everyone struggles with it.� Parents can help by having conversations with their teens about what values and beliefs are important to them and how to make choices for themselves rather than compromising to fit in. New high school students may find that academic demands increase as much as the social pressures. Less daily homework and more long-term projects demand good time management skills. Then there are deadlines involved with the college search and application process, as well as the hunt for scholarships and financial aid if students plan to continue on to college. Murray says parents can help teens stay on top of it all without sounding like a nag by setting up a schedule for weekly checkins. “Have a time that you sit down together and talk about what is coming up and what needs to get done,� he says. “That way it is a regular, set conversation rather than something random — it’s just part of what you do.� College freshmen may no longer have that kind of parental scaffolding, so it is important they connect with academic

It’s even harder for those making some sort of transition. supports available on campus — and continue to engage with them for at least one full semester. “One of the things I see happen sometimes is that students use those services at the start, then they feel like they’ve got it and disengage,� Murray says. “But the start of the semester feels very different than the end of the semester when you have papers and final exams.� He encourages freshmen to participate in orientation activities that provide an opportunity for new students to find ways to integrate themselves into the campus
community. “It is an opportunity to try something new,� Murray says. Parents and teens should also set expectations about when and how they will communicate and how often the student will come home. “Whether it’s a weekly call, a daily text or twice a week video chats, it’s important to send that message of support — that they can reach out to you at any time,� Murray says. At the same time, he cautions parents about becoming overly involved or
intrusive, which can be counterproductive. Instead, focus on preparing teens to navigate college challenges on their own. That could include anything from teaching them how to do laundry and prepare their own meals to ways they can establish a healthy and balanced schedule or handle a difficult roommate. Whether it’s the first go-round on campus or a return for a new semester, Murray suggests students and parents check out www.collegeparents.org to find checklists and strategies to help with the transition.

Mount Nittany recognized by Highmark program STATE COLLEGE — Mount Nittany Medical Center and Highmark Blue Shield announced today that Mount Nittany Medical Center has continued to steadily improve patient care by a variety of measures as a participant in Highmark’s Quality Blue, pay-for-performance hospital program. As a result, Mount Nittany has received the maximum reward possible through the program. “Highmark’s pay-for-performance program pushes hospitals to continue to raise the bar on quality. By emphasizing this goal and by implementing financial incentives as part of the program, we have seen significant improvements in a number of areas,” said Dr. Andrew Bloschichak, Highmark senior medical director. “Mount Nittany Medical Center has been an outstanding partner. It continues to improve quality in numerous areas, most notably in catheter-associated urinary tract infection rates.” “Our nurses remain engaged advocates for our patients, especially when it comes to taking the necessary actions to
provide their needed care when working with the health care team for CAUTI interventions,” said Patricia Watson, vice president for nursing and chief nursing officer, Mount Nittany Medical Center. Among these actions include a nurse-driven protocol for daily assessment, management and removal of urinary catheters; an electronic medical record alert for urinary catheter removal; an enhanced competency education program for catheter insertion and care simulation exercises for new nurses employees and ancillary staff; and house-wide daily discharge briefings to discuss catheter protocol, all of which helped the medical center achieve a 34 percent CAUTI reduction. “We appreciate the hard work of everyone involved, from our environmental services and education departments to nursing, case management, information services and others, for their dedication to best practices in CAUTI prevention,” said Gail Miller, vice president for quality,
Mount Nittany Medical Center. “I would like to especially commend Marlene Stetson, infection control and prevention coordinator, Mount Nittany Medical Center, for her tremendous work in leading this project.” According to Bloschichak, higher quality can actually lead to lower health care costs for consumers. “We hear from our members and customers that health care is too expensive. We are working with partners like Mount Nittany Health to improve quality and lower costs,” said Bloschichak. “By aligning payments to health care providers based on quality and not just volume, Highmark continues to build excellence into everyday operations.” According to Miller, “We strive to achieve the ‘triple aim’ of providing high-quality, cost-effective care while improving the health of our community as a whole. Programs like Quality Blue help us prioritize the safety and quality of our care, moving us even closer to that goal.”

Spring Mills couple takes ‘Americana Tour’ vacation By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
SPRING MILLS — This is the time of year when millions of Americans take vacation trips. Beaches are popular destinations, as are scenic wonders such as Niagara Falls and the Grand Canyon, national parks and the ever-popular theme parks around the country. But Greg and Mary Kay Williams, of Spring Mills, had a different idea of the ideal vacation trip. Several years ago, the Williamses bought a 1964 Airstream Bambi II camper trailer from a friend. The 17-foot-long Bambi model was only made for one year, and total production was around just 200 units. The Williamses thought that the trailer, with its aircraft-style construction and shiny silver-colored polished aluminum skin, resembled a UFO. They joked that they should take it to Roswell, N.M., the site of an alleged alien spacecraft crash in 1947. “We said we should take it ... and see where the aliens crashed,” said Greg Williams. They decided to make the trip this summer in honor of the trailer’s 50th birthday, but soon the trip morphed into a much larger excursion. “We thought, ‘Why not take a “tacky Americana” tour?’” said Mary Kay Williams, referring to the many vintage and sometimes oddball tourist attractions located along historic Route 66, on part of which they would travel en route to Roswell. They hitched the trailer to their van, loaded up supplies for a two-week road trip, and they and their dog, Henna, were off. Their first stop was Nashville, Tenn., where Greg Williams sat in an orange “General Lee” Dodge Charger at Cooter’s Place. The restaurant is run by actor Ben Jones, who played mechanic “Cooter” on
the popular “Dukes of Hazzard” television show. Next, it was on to Memphis, and a visit to Graceland, the iconic home of Elvis Presley. There, Greg, clad in a sequined white jumpsuit, posed for a photo with Mary Kay on the steps of the mansion. After a stop in Hot Springs, Ark., for a visit to a 1930s-style hot water spa, they traveled on to Tulsa, Okla., where they picked up Route 66. They visited the “Golden Driller,” a 76-foot-tall statue of an oil field worker, which was built by an oil field supply company from Texas for a 1953 trade show at the Tulsa State Fairgrounds. They ate at the Rock Café, in Stroud, Okla., whose owner was reportedly the inspiration for Sally Carrera, the female Porsche character voiced by actress Bonnie Hunt in the animated movie “Cars.” In Hays, Kan., the Williamses enjoyed a meal at Al’s Chickenette, a diner that has served only chicken dishes for more than 60 years. The couple ate at many diners, often sitting at counters. “That’s the kind of restaurants we like. You can’t have five-star dining that’s any better than this stuff,” said Mary Kay. Arriving in Amarillo, Texas, they stopped to see the “Big Texan” statue, which measures 47 feet tall to the top of his 10-gallon hat. They also took in the splendor of Palo Duro Canyon, the second largest canyon in America, exceeded in size by only the Grand Canyon. The Williamses finally entered New Mexico and turned south, traveling to their ultimate destination, the town of Roswell. There, they found a host of alien-themed establishments, complete with life-size creepy alien figures; even the local McDonald’s restaurant is shaped like a flying saucer. They enjoyed the kitschy sights, then headed northeast on their return trip. In Cawker City, Kan., they visited the world’s biggest ball of twine. Owner Linda Clovis allowed Greg Williams to add sev-

At the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in St. Louis, they saw a huge sculpture of a badminton shuttlecock on the grounds. The big fiberglass and plastic birdie measures 19 feet high by 16 feet wide. In Effington, Ind., they saw America’s largest cross, which measures 198 feet high by 113 feet wide. The huge crucifix was constructed from 180 tons of steel. The final attractions visited on the trip included a giant sneaker in New Castle, Ind., and the Longaberger Basket Company headquarters in Newark, Ohio. This seven-story structure is styled to resemble a giant woven basket, complete with huge
handles at the top. Assessing their 4,525-mile trip, the Williamses had mixed feelings. “It was kind of cool and sad at the same time, because so many of the places are gone, and a lot of things are rusting away,” said Mary Kay. The couple said they met many interesting people on their trip, including some European tourists. They already have plans for next year’s vacation. They plan to return to Memphis to renew their wedding vows for their 25th wedding anniversary. Greg will wear his Elvis suit, with Mary Kay dressed as Priscilla Presley; an Elvis impersonator will perform the ceremony.
Ag Progress Days draws large crowds to Rock Springs By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
PENNSYLVANIA FURNACE — The Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences hosted its 39th annual Ag Progress Days, Aug. 12 to 14 at the Russell E. Larson Agriculture Research Center at Rock Springs. This event is Pennsylvania’s largest outdoor agricultural exposition. This year, it featured the latest technology and research exhibits, educational programs and seminars, guided tours and hundreds of vendors. Many exhibits displayed the latest in Penn State research, and provided information on agricultural management practices and changing regulations in the agricultural industry. The Rock Springs site featured more than 80 acres for crops and machinery demonstrations, and 55 acres for indoor and outdoor exhibits. A highlight of this year’s event was visits by both of Pennsylvania’s gubernatorial candidates, Gov. Tom Corbett and Tom Wolf. Both addressed crowds at the show, stressing their support for Pennsylvania’s agricultural industry and related concerns. In the equine arena, Penn State professor Brian Egan and his daughter Ashley gave a presentation on handling horses. A later demonstration compared the use of horse and oxen teams used for dragging logs in Pennsylvania’s logging industry more than a century ago.
Several rows of state-of-the-art agricultural equipment were on display, as were some antique tractors, which underscored the immense progress made in this area over the last several decades. In the indoor exhibit area, the Pennsylvania Llama and Alpaca Association was represented by a team of women spinning alpaca wool into yarn. Bonnie Henrick, of Lancaster County, said the alpaca yarn produces warmer garments than sheep’s wool. “It’s a hollow fiber, and it insulates better,” said Henrick. She also noted that the alpaca yarn has a softer feel than sheep’s wool because it does not contain the lanolin that the sheep wool has. Henrick has been spinning her own alpaca yarn since the 1990s. Another exhibitor was the Friends of the Pennsylvania Farm Show Foundation. This group helps to support the farm show with fundraisers and assistance during the shows. Spokesman Larry Weaver said the group is already planning for the Farm Show’s centennial year in 2016. They are taking orders for a centennial history book, which will feature a written history of the show along with many photos taken during its century-long history.

Mid-State Mopars Car Club cruises into Old Fort By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
OLD FORT — The Mid-State Mopars Car Club held its fifth annual “Cruise-In” on the grounds of the Old Fort American Legion on Aug. 17. The club members are owners of vehicles made by the Chrysler Corporation brands: Chrysler, Plymouth, Dodge and DeSoto. The name “Mopar” originated in 1937, when the Chrysler Corporation
coined the word for its auto parts division by combining the words “motor” and “parts.” Since that time, Chrysler’s vehicles have been called “Mopars.” Club president Tim Drake was pleased with the turnout for the show despite threatening weather early in the day. “It was raining this morning, but now, it’s a beautiful day,” said Drake. He noted that three awards would be given out at the event: the People’s Choice, the Executive Board Favorite and one for
the longest distance driven by any participant. Former club vice president Duane Harer said there were 46 cars attending the event. The Mid-State Mopars has members from Centre, Mifflin and Blair counties. Mike and Linda Shaffer drove their blue 1966 Dodge Coronet less than a mile from their home in Old Fort. The Dodge sports a 318-cubic-inch V8 engine coupled to a Torqueflite three-speed automatic trans-
mission. Linda Shaffer’s dad, Bob Smeltzer, who also lives in Old Fort, brought his immaculate maroon 1948 Plymouth Special Deluxe four-door sedan to display. This big family sedan features a six cylinder engine with a three-speed manual transmission and rear-hinged “suicide” back doors. Smeltzer is a regular attendee at many car shows in the area.

Achill Island: So full of sheep (Editor’s note: Former Centre County Gazette intern Brianna Blair recently traveled to Ireland to study abroad. Over the next several weeks, she will recount memorable moments from her trip. This week’s installment takes us to Achill Island.)
BRIANNA BLAIR
Achill Island — sheep, sheep, a beach, some dogs, sheep and more sheep. If you are afraid of sheep, I would strongly advise you to bypass the largest island off of the coast of Ireland. But for those of you who are looking for a peaceful getaway from your busy lives, Achill Island is the place for you. Narrow streets, one grocery store and the smell of saltwater Brianna Blair is greet you as you drive a former Gazette onto the island.

Email her at is the perfect place to correspondent@ centrecountygazette. prop up your feet, forcom. get about your daily troubles and tune into the nature around you. When our student group got to the island, we got off the bus and dragged our suitcases down a gravel path that led to our very own holiday home. It was a quaint little house with white-washed walls and blue trim. A sheep pasture lined the side of the house and wrapped its way to the front yard. Transitioning from Dublin to a small village was not easy. The first night was filled with wandering around, not knowing what to do. Thankfully, we had Wi-Fi to get us through. Achill Island is a great place for a hike. One of the first things we did upon arriv-
ing on the island was meet Tomás MacLochlainn, our very own Irish mountain man. Equipped with his backpack and a hiking stick to check for bogs along the way, MacLochlainn was prepared to give our group the best hiking experience we’ve ever had. That indeed held true, but, of course, nothing ever goes as smoothly as one hopes. Our trek began at 10 a.m. sharp. A light fog hung over the mountains and there was moisture in the air. The sky was gray and the ocean reflected the muted tones. We were warned not to wear shoes that we cared too much about, so my attire consisted of an old pair of Nikes, capri-style workout leggings and the essential raincoat. The best thing I wore that day was a baseball hat, and you’ll understand why later. So, the 19 of us followed our guide up the dirt path past fields of sheep. Along the way, we acquired a new friend: A black and white dog that would carry pebbles in her mouth, drop them at your feet and then hope that you would throw them so that she could fetch. I wanted to buy this dog a ball so badly, but the one and only store on the island didn’t have tennis balls. We humored her for awhile, and then had to send her on her way so that we could continue our hike. We headed toward the mountain, realizing that this was definitely not going to be the “walking tour of the island” that we were led to believe the night before. We were hiking. And by hiking, I mean scaling a mountain that was bigger than the rolling hills of Pennsylvania. MacLochlainn pointed out plants and poked his stick bogs along the way, telling stories of how the land was acquired and what makes it special. We passed freeroaming sheep that would stare at us until they pranced away from fear when we got closer. When I first saw a sheep in Ireland, I noticed a red spot on his back and immediately thought he was injured. Then, down the road, I saw another sheep with a blue spot on his back. Afterward, I learned

that farmers mark their sheep with different colors in order to identify who they belong to. So, if you’re ever in Ireland and see sheep with red spots on their backs, don’t worry — they’re not dying. We came closer and closer to the base of the mountain and we braced ourselves to start climbing. Mountains in Ireland are not like the Appalachians. In fact, there are absolutely no trees on its mountains — just grass and stone. The hike was a balancing act of pulling yourself up a mountain with nothing to grab on to, all the while with soggy ground underneath your feet. To make things even more interesting, it started to rain. Now this was Ireland. When we reached the top, our attitudes changed. The view was indescribable. In front of us was the ocean for as far as we could see. Land stretched out before us, then quickly dropped to meet the sea below it. Our guide unzipped his backpack and passed around thermoses of tea to warm up our soaking wet bodies. “Sublime” is the only word that I can think of that is worthy of describing this experience. Our descent was quick, simply because it started to rain even harder and the wind blew the drops sideways toward us, making the rain feel like needles on our exposed skin. Once we reached the bottom, we looked at each other and relished in the Achill Island, Page 14

EAGLE SCOUT RECIPIENT EVAN M. ROSENGRANT, son of Eric and Cathy Rosengrant, of Port Matilda, was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout at a ceremony on June 22. Rosengrant is a member of Boy Scout Troop 375 in Stormstown. For his Eagle Scout service project, he designed and constructed a fire ring and a quarter-mile stone chip greyhound walking trail through a wooded parcel at the Nittany Greyhounds Rescue Kennel in Halfmoon Township. Rosengrant is pictured here at his final work party with his family’s rescue greyhound, Willow.

speed it does in the States. Ireland has a way of making you appreciate what is around you. The hidden gems of the earth that make you feel so small yet purposeful at the same time could be seen all over Achill Island. Poetry is highly enjoyed in Achill and the arts could be seen throughout the village, too. We had numerous speakers who gave us insight on what inspires them and how to take in the things around you. Nothing is trivial, everything is useful. My next stop on this fast-paced tour of Ireland was, to me, a smaller version of Dublin, filled with pubs and history. Along the way, our group found a beautiful treasure tucked into the mountains. Until next time, “Cheers!”
auGusT 21-27, 2014 Mopars, from page 12 Steve and Kim Peterman, of Ambler, Montgomery County, showed their bright canon red 1978 Dodge L’il Red Express pickup truck. The Red Express is one of only 2,188 produced by Dodge in 1978. Peterman’s truck has just 33,000 miles on the odometer and is an original-condition survivor, having never been restored. A high-performance 360-cubic-inch V8 powers the truck. The Petermans received the award for traveling the longest distance to the show. On the opposite end of the horsepower scale was Boalsburg resident Harry Whitman’s 1969 Dodge Dart hardtop equipped with Chrysler’s legendary 225-cubic-inch slant six engine. With its six cylinders tilted 30 degrees off vertical, the engine was used in large numbers by Chrysler Corporation from 1960 to 1983. Whitman’s Dart features dual exhaust pipes, which is unusual for a six-cylinder model. Larry Cramer cruised in to the show driving a tan 1968 Dodge Charger. This is a one-owner car, and Cramer has the original purchase records showing that it was bought at Lash Dodge in Lewistown on Sept. 6, 1967. Bob Steiger, of Spring Mills, showed his 1969 Chrysler Custom Newport sedan.
The CenTre CounTy GazeTTe Steiger said the car was originally his father’s and he acquired it when his dad passed away in 1991. He had it restored by Keith McClintic, of Coburn, who worked on the car over a six-year period. Winning the Executive Board Favorite award was an immaculate 1963 Plymouth Sport Fury two-door hardtop owned by Tom Taylor, of Altoona. The black beauty with a red interior is powered by a 383-cubic-inch V8 and a four-speed manual transmission. The Fury is equipped with all factory options, including power steering, brakes, windows and door locks, as well as factory air conditioning, a rare option in 1963. “This car has all the right stuff,” said Taylor. He found the car in 1985 in North Carolina, and finished restoring it to factory specifications in 1990. A fun feature of the event was a slow drags event — a drag race where the slowest car wins. Contestants were not allowed to stop the car or touch the brakes during the run. Steve Harpster, of Port Matilda, cleaned house in this event with his 1968 Plymouth Road Runner hardtop. The People’s Choice award was changed to a “Ladies’ Choice” award for this event, and was taken by Peter Mali’s stunning green-and-black Dodge Viper coupe.

Penn State Army ROTC student Church recognized for recycling efforts earns Parachutist Badge By CLAYTON FILIPOWICZ For the Gazette
FORT BENNING, Ga. — Miranda Boatman, a Bellefonte native and Penn State ROTC student, completed the Army’s Basic Airborne Course at Fort Benning, Ga., on Aug. 8. The three-week course teaches service members how to safely and properly execute a jump at 1,200 feet, deploy parachutes and land safely on the ground and move to a combat objective. At the conclusion of the training cycle, students receive the coveted Parachutist Badge, also known as “jump wings.” “The best part of the training was being able to work with military members from all the services,” said Boatman. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience.” The first week of the course, known as “ground week,” familiarizes the soldiers with the proper wear of gear, harnesses and landing techniques. Students repeat drills on how to properly break their falls as they come to the ground, eventually culminating to practice jumps from a 34-foot tall tower to practice landings. The next week, “tower week,” concentrates primarily on jump towers. Special training rigs, such as suspended harnesses, prepare the soldiers to jump from a 250-foot high tower. The tower teaches students the different phases of parachute flight, including opening shock, chute deployment and steering. The students review parachute malfunction and emergency procedures before moving on to the third and final “jump week.” The soldiers complete five jumps in the final week, including one night jump in order to graduate the school. Jump week is designed to be chaotic, testing the soldier’s abilities and endurance. The soldiers jump from 1,200 feet, traveling at speeds of about 130 mph. Upon landing, the students pack their parachutes and make their way to a designated rally point.

MIRANDA BOATMAN, an Army ROTC cadet and Bellefonte native, receives her jump wings from her father, John Boatman, at Fort Benning, Ga. She will return to Penn State Erie in September as a junior. “When you first jump, you remind yourself to go through the procedures you learned while training,” said Boatman. “After the course is over and you look back on it all, it’s an amazing accomplishment.” Boatman, an Army ROTC cadet at Penn State Erie, spent the month of June teaching English to Bulgarian soldiers for the Cadet English Language Team earlier this summer. She will return to school in September as a junior and a veteran member of the Penn State Erie cross-country team.

STATE COLLEGE — St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, located at 250 E. College Ave., has been announced as one of top state collectors of cereal bags in the MOM Brands Cereal Bag Brigade. This national recycling program was created by a partnership between MOM Brands and TerraCycle. By collecting waste from its MOM Brands cereal packaging, the church has helped to divert 4,895 units of cereal bag waste from landfills. “We’re so excited that St. Paul’s United Methodist Church has decided to pair with us to make such a great impact on our environment,” said TerraCycle CEO Tom Szaky. “We’d like to recognize them for what they have achieved so far, and can’t wait to see what they continue to collect.” After signing up to join the program, schools and organizations earn points for every unit of waste they collect and send to TerraCycle. The points can be redeemed for charitable gifts or a cash donation to the nonprofit or school of the collector’s choice. TerraCycle recycles the traditionally non-recyclable cereal bag waste into new products and materials. For 11 consecutive years, St. Paul’s has sent a mission team to Nicaragua to help children afford to go to school. School is free there, but families cannot afford the child’s backpack, pencils and other school supplies. “It costs $15 for a new backpack, filled with all necessary school supplies,” said Barbara Taylor, St. Paul’s United Methodist Church collector and member. “We have earned over $177 since starting this brigade. This helps almost 12 kids go to school for free for a whole year … just by not putting cereal bags in a landfill.” Any individuals, schools or organizations interested in recycling with TerraCycle can learn more about the brigades and sign up at www.terracycle.com.

Grange Fair shaping up for anniversary year
auGusT 21-27, 2014
The
Grange Fair
By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com
CENTRE HALL — Uniting family and community traditions with education and hard work is what the annual Centre County Grange Encampment and Fair is all about. And with fair attendees from 25 states last year, this is not your typical county fair. The 140th annual Centre County Grange Fair will kick off Thursday, Aug. 21 and run through Thursday, Aug. 28. One single-day admission and a vehicle ticket are each $6. A general admission season ticket that can be used each of the fair’s eight days is $15, and a parking pass for the fair’s entirety is $16.
IF YOU GO What: The 140th annual Grange Fair Where: Grange Fairgrounds, Centre Hall When: Aug. 21-28 More Info: www.grangefair.net “It’s just a general celebration,” said Darlene Confer, the fair’s general manager. “We have so much to offer. We’re so diverse.” She shared the example of being able to begin your day with a health walk and other related activities, then have the opportunity to participate in traditional fair offerings, such as rides and food. The livestock showings and sale is always a popular fair attraction. “There’s something happening every day,” said Ben Haagen, the fair’s president. In addition to the livestock traditionally shown throughout the fair — rabbit, chicken, duck, swine, goat, sheep, hogs, dairy cattle and market beef — there will be two new additions to this year’s show and sale. A new market roaster class of rabbits will be shown, with the top five placing animals being sold at the auction, Haagen said. There will also be a new class of market broilers in poultry. “We’ve been talking about it for a couple of years,” he added. Auctioning of the animals will take place at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 27, in the judging arena. “We hope businesses will come out and support the kids at the auction,” Haagen said. There will be daily horse shows at the equine facility, too. “The equine center gets a lot of traffic,” Haagen noted. There will definitely be specials, events and activities to promote the fair’s 140th anniversary, Confer said. On certain days, there will be 140 minutes of free rides, and there will be a special anniversary event on Sunday, Aug. 24, at Jubilee Grove. While Confer acknowledges that the thousands of tents and RVs that create the small city for the eight days is always an interesting aspect of the annual spectacle, many other things, like the variety of entertainment, also makes the fair special. “Education is also important,” Confer said. “It’s definitely part of our mission.” The library, which is open daily at fair headquarters, provides great programming for children, she said. “This is the type of thing that makes our fair unique.” According to Haagen, education is a big part of the requirement for showing livestock at the fair. All youth who show livestock are required to take good production practices classes, which are offered through Penn State Extension. Curriculum includes learning about care, feeding, record keeping, management, biosecurity and zoonotic diseases. “We want kids to be aware of (these) practices,” Haagen said. He noted that this makes them more aware and careful about things like cleanliness. The fair will also feature several new aspects this year, according to Confer. On Wednesday, Aug. 27, Dialed Action Sports will present BMX and FMX shows at the competition track. A mounted shooting exposition — a sport that combines aspects of Wild West shows with various equestrian skills — will take place that evening in the equine facil-

Thursday, Aug. 21, is McDonald’s Day at the fair. For $8 a person, participants can get admission, parking, an all-day ride wristband for Bartlebaugh Amusements and a discount sheet for select fair ven-
dors. Confer said they’ve been partnering with McDonald’s for several years now to offer fairgoers this opportunity. “It’s a great deal,” she said. McDonald’s will also be promoting their sweet tea at the fair. A cup can be purchased for $1, with half of the proceeds going to the fair’s tree fund. Older trees on the grounds re-

For many, a food booth is the first stop at Grange Fair CENTRE HALL — For many visitors to the 140th Grange Fair, the first stop will be at a food vendor. Who hasn’t approached the fairgrounds already salivating from the thought of French fries drenched in vinegar and salt? When, other than fair season, do you eat giant dough shapes, fried and covered in powdered sugar? The Grange Fair opens Thursday, Aug. 21, and runs through Thursday, Aug. 28.

Email her Yummy treats wait at ccous67@gmail. at the Grange Fair, and com. it takes a certain type of person to take a week’s worth of supplies and ingredients and haul the lot to a designated spot on the fairgrounds. There, the food vendors cheerfully offer their special gastronomic pleasers from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., in many cases. One food truck to look for is Gunzey’s Hot Sausage. The brother and sister duo Taffney Strous and Tris West own Gunzey’s. The Gunzey concession has been attending the Grange Fair for 51 years, since the days when “Gunzey,” the siblings’ now 89-year-old grandfather, started the company. The day I spoke with Strous, her grandfather was already out at the site getting things ready. “My grandfather was an engineer and he decided 51 years ago that with five weeks (of) vacation and four kids, he could run a concession and Gunzey’s opened,” Strous said. She said that in addition to their hot sausage sandwiches, Gunzey’s also serves homemade bread bowls, pitas and other items. Strous, a teacher’s aide, and West, a social studies and economics teacher, both work in the Lewisburg Area School District. The family business has added a fourth generation, as both siblings each have three children and the kids have joined their parents working at Gunzey’s. As of Aug. 15, Gunzey’s has a permanent parking spot in the parking lot at Lowe’s on Valley Vista Drive in State College. In addition to stopping by for a sandwich or a salad, customers can now order tailgate and party packages. Orders can be handled

GUNZEY’S HOT SAUSAGE has been a staple at the Grange Fair for 51 years. In addition to hot sausage sandwiches, the food vendor sells cheesesteaks, hamburgers and chicken sandwiches. by phone or email, and party package orders should be placed two days in advance. A new Gunzey’s is planned for Mill Hall and should open in October, according to Strous. Another staple at Grange Fair is Miller’s Hoagies, of Milesburg, which has been serving up fair hoagies for 62 years. The grandparents of Lois Watson, present owner of Millers’, started with just the original hoagie, which contains bologna, salami, provolone cheese and chopped ham. Miller now makes chicken, tuna and other fillings for the big sandwiches. The shop in Milesburg will be open, even though the family will be at the fair. Employee Reba Mann is staying behind to keep modified hours of 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mann has a long history with the shop and worked there while in high school.
“I graduated in 1969,” Mann said. “I have come and gone a few times, but here I am again.” Meanwhile, at the fair, the Miller’s Hoagie stand will be open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., unless they sell out earlier. The Snyders — of Snyder’s Concessions — are another family with a long history at the Grange Fair. Emogene Snyder said she has been part of the concessions since the late ‘60s. She has four trailers, but she sells only funnel cakes. “My children grew up going to the fair and I remember my daughter Lori was around 10 when she started helping,” explained Snyder. “Now Lori has her own trailer and sells pizza. My son Jerry also sells pizza, gyros, cheesesteaks and other sandwiches. Jerry’s son James now owns his own trailers and runs his own busi-
ness.” Emogene also said that son Rick, who has lemonade, French fries and cinnamon buns, also has a son, Preston. So the beat — or rather the food — goes on. Rich Shore owns Rita’s in State College. “Yes, I will be at the Grange Fair,” Shore said. “I’m in the old milk house, right between the goats and the rabbits.” Rita’s will bring its flavored ices and Misto shakes. A new addition this year is a custard cookie. It is made with either Oreos or chocolate chip cookies, with custard in the middle. For a complete list of fair food vendors, visit www.grangefair.net, then pull up “grange fair concessions.” There are hundreds to choose from, so you can go to the fair with your food stops already in mind.
Annual family tradition of the Grange Fair continues By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com
CENTRE HALL — Family. Barry Frank can sum up the meaning of the Grange Fair in Centre Hall in that one simple word. Frank, of Medina, Ohio, and formerly of Bellefonte, has been camping with his family in a tent at the fair for 70 years. And this year is no different. His great-grandparents started the tradition. They passed the tent down to him. One day, he will pass it down to his daughter. His great-grandfather helped plant the trees that surround the tent village at the
fairgrounds. Frank and his buddy Warren Kibe have seen many changes at the fair over the last several decades. They remember when there were wooden outhouses for campers. They remember when airplanes landed at the fairgrounds with the slogan, “See the fair by air.” Some things haven’t changed, like the Octopus amusement ride. “I used to ride that year after year after year. Now, I just look at it and turn green,” said Frank. Beyond the family tradition of camping and reuniting with old friends, Kibe enjoys the fair’s entertainment, which is

Grange Fair fills the grandstand with great entertainment By HARRY ZIMBLER For the Gazette
CENTRE HALL — Celebrating its 140th year, the Centre County Grange Fair will include eight days of first-rate entertainment on the stage of the fair’s grandstand. Grange is unique among county fairs, in that it offers its entertainment as part of admission to the park. No extra charges are made. Those staying for the entire fair and those visiting for one day will all have the opportunity to enjoy a show. The full slate of headliners didn’t just appear — the Grange Fair’s entertainment committee spent a great deal of time planning and securing contracts with a wide variety of performers. Leading the committee is Shiley Heidrich. “I got involved in the entertainment around 1998,” she said. “My father, Donald Fry, had done entertainment for about 25 years.” The process begins when the committee meets to discuss possible acts. It then works with Variety Attractions, of Ohio, to see which groups and solo performers are available. “We select three to four acts for each night,” Heidrich explained. At that point, the agent checks routing — how close an act will be to Centre County during the dates of the fair — cost, and where the act ranks on the charts. A higher ranking translates into popularity with audiences. “It’s a lot of fun working on the entertainment,” Heidrich said. “You meet many new people and get to hear the comments after the show, whether they’re good or bad.” Heidrich credits both her father and George Moffett for teaching her the ropes of booking entertainers. “I have also learned by doing it,” she remarked. “The people at Variety Attractions have also been very helpful

GRANGE FAIR ATTENDEES can do “The Twist” when music legend Chubby Checker performs at the grandstand on Aug. 27. to me.” The individuals working with Heidrich on entertainment include Virginia Letterman, Richard Byler, Rick Fayman, Jim Weaver and new assistant Justin Kline. “The greatest challenge we face is selecting entertainment that everyone will like,” said Heidrich. According to Heidrich, one of the great joys of working on entertainment is to book an act that is up and coming and later goes on to significant notoriety in show business. Unlike other venues, the Grange Fair has never had to worry about overly temperamental artists, Heidrich noted. “We have never had special requests. We make hotel reservations, serve dinner and provide water and soda,” she said. No kiwis flown in from New Zealand on the day of the performance have ever been requested, Heidrich joked. This year’s lineup includes rising stars, as well as classic performers. On Thursday, Aug. 21, the fair kicks off with an appearance by The Boomers, a classic rock band formed in 2007. One of country music’s best-known performers, Bill
Anderson, brings his unique sound to the Grange Fair on Friday, Aug. 22. Anderson is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame. Saturday, Aug. 23, brings the Nashville Bluegrass Band. That’s followed on Monday, Aug. 25, with a performance by the popular Swon Brothers. Fans of “The Voice” television program will recall seeing these dynamic performers in action. They offer some of the sweetest country harmonies around. Jason Crabb takes the stage on Tuesday, Aug. 26. Crabb is a Christian music singer and musician. He has been the lead vocalist for the group The Crabb Family and was voted “Favorite Male Vocalist” at the first annual Harmony Honors Awards. The indomitable Chubby Checker performs on Wednesday, Aug. 27. Checker is well-known for popularizing “The Twist” in the early 1960s and for his “Limbo Rock” song. The Outlaws close out the Grange Fair on Thursday, Aug. 28. The group is a southern rock/country rock band best known for its 1975 hits “There Goes Another Love Song” and “Green Grass and High Tides.”

Sweet Sweep
Clarence tops Philipsburg to claim County League title By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com
PHILIPSBURG — The last time the Clarence Mounties were in the CCBL finals, in 2007, they won the first two games and then saw the title slip away when Lemont won the final three games. On Sunday afternoon at Philipsburg, the Mounties made sure history did not repeat itself. After falling behind during a miserable first inning, Clarence hung tough, tied the game in the sixth inning, and then reclaimed the championship, 5-3, with a two-run rally in the top of the ninth inning. Derek Jabco’s two-out, soft line drive just over the glove of Philipsburg shortstop Drew Bryan scored Matt Fisher and Mike Lutz with the winning runs against Pirate reliever Josh Potter. Mountie pitcher Cody Klinger then held on through a tense ninth inning to claim the victory. “I fought it off,” Jabco said. “I was down 0-2, stayed in the game, and tried at least to get one in play. He got me on the hands, and I got a piece of it just over the shortstop’s head. “We’ve been scrapping all year, and for us to come out and do that in the last inning, that’s what we’ve been doing all season.” Clarence looked like anything but champions in the first inning. Three errors, a wild pitch and a passed ball led to two unearned Philipsburg runs. It would have been worse had the Pirates’ Jon Shaffer not been thrown out at the plate trying to score on a Josh Potter fly ball to center field. But Klinger and the Mounties quickly shook off the rough start. Over the next eight innings, the East Stroudsburg University pitcher would give up only one more run and three more hits, and when Clarence finally broke through with a run in the fourth against hard-throwing Jake Belinda, the momentum began to shift in favor of the Mounties. A single by Ryan McNamara and a sac-
rifice fly by Hunter Guenot subsequently tied the game in the sixth for Clarence. And Klinger’s shutout pitching lit the way to Jabco’s heroics in the ninth. “I knew they (the Mounties) would score for me,” Klinger said. “I knew we were going to get some runs. It (the start) worried me a little bit, but I knew we’d be back in it so it wasn’t a big deal.” The No. 1 seed and 2012 CCBL champions did not go quietly, however. Behind now 5-3 and down to their final out, the Pirates mounted a last-ditch, ninth-inning threat. A walk, a single by Matt Curtis, and a hit batter loaded the bases with two outs and the dangerous Matt McCamly at the plate. McCamly took the count to 2-2 and stayed alive by fouling off numerous pitches. Finally, McCamly went for an outside fastball and foul-tipped it, but this time Clarence catcher Lutz held on for strike three, and the celebration was on. “Fast balls. I threw fast balls the entire last inning,” Klinger said. “Those first two batters weren’t catching up so I wasn’t going to give them off speed. The last couple batters, I lost it there a little, but I found it again, luckily.” For Clarence, to win the title here was especially rewarding. The last four times Clarence was eliminated from the playoffs all came at the hands of the Spike Island Pirates. “Amazing,” Clarence manager Rob Gavlock said. “I can’t describe it right now. It’s amazing. “This whole game didn’t come easy. Belinda threw a heck of a game. We couldn’t touch him. “What an amazing job these guys did. And Cody, I don’t know if he ever threw nine innings in his life. We played total team ball throughout this entire series. “These guys are a bunch of players. We went through a lot of stuff this season — losing streaks, injuries — and they came back and played their guts out. That’s all we ask — leave it all on the field.”

James expected to ‘dominate’ this season BY JOHN PATISHNOCK sports@centrecountygazette.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Jesse James has a one-word assignment for the entire season. “Dominate” is what offensive coordinator John Donovan expects out of James every game this year. And while that’s hardly a typical task, Donovan used the term without hesitation and with the utmost confidence that James can come through. “On the field, he needs to dominate this year,” Donovan said. “He’s put the work in, he’s put the time in, he’s getting results, and he needs to do it on the field and in all phases. He can be the complete package and we’re expecting him, and I’m expecting him, to be that. There are no other options — he’s got to have that mindset. I think he does, and I’m looking forward to seeing what he’s got.” James’ stature makes him stand out, even for a position known for big, mobile guys. He’s 6 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 254 pounds, numbers that will more often than not create an instant mismatch, no matter who lines up against him. James caught 25 catches for 333 yards and three touchdowns last year, and seemingly leads a talented group of tight ends
that began to break out last season in Bill O’Brien’s pro-style system. Head coach James Franklin plans to maximize the production out of James and the team’s other tight ends, saying if they don’t produce, they’ll implement sets featuring four wide receivers. If James plays to his potential, or perhaps even close to it, Franklin shouldn’t have to resort to that backup plan. “You look at him, he’s the prototypical guy you think of when you hear tight end,” Franklin said. “He’s tall, he’s big, he’s massive, he’s strong, he can run and he’s smart. So he’s definitely got everything you want. He made some improvements in the spring, I thought, from some of the things he studied on tape from last year.” James is capable of bulldozing defenders, but he’ll need to do more than that this year. He needs to grow into a good enough blocker that he can stay in the game in most situations, and he’s prepared for that. He’s put on sizable muscle, and he wowed the crowd at Penn State’s Lift For Life event last month, when he completed 27 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press. He’s tall and lean, and his frame makes it difficult to imagine any linebacker or defensive back clamping down on him. None of this is a coincidence. James
already had this plan of getting stronger before the new coaching regime came aboard, but considering they share the same mission, James has spent his time well since the end of last season. “It was big for me. I wanted to come into this season and help the line as another blocker and be as good as I could at it,” James said. “So I added some weight and getting a lot stronger really helped.” In talking with writers at Life For Life and media day, James stands tall, but keeps a quiet persona. He doesn’t bowl reporters over with emphatic quotes. Instead, he’s already put in his work. He impressed teammates and coaches at Lift For Life, but the work hasn’t just been for show. He realizes he’s expected to do a lot more than catch the ball. As he said, he’ll need to block in both passing and running situations, which motivated him to become stronger. He’s done that, so what’s next? Just doing everything he can to come through on Donovan’s one-word assignment. “I just try to be as balanced as possible,” James said. “Be able to do every aspect of the game, whether it’s catching the ball, running the ball, blocking, just being a balanced player and doing the best I can to help the team be the best we can.”

The foursome of PGA professional Pat Terpak, of the Hawthorne Country Club, Denny Taylor, Dallas Gallo and Sonny Fletemake posted a best-ball score of 166 to win the annual Pro-Am held last week at the Nittany Country Club in Mingoville. The tournament, sponsored by The Waffle Shop in Bellefonte, used a varied scoring system of one best-ball gross and one best-ball net on the front side, and one bestball gross and two best-ball nets on the back nine. One shot back, carding a 167, was the foursome of Paul Fischer, Doug Goss, Max Miller and Scott Gray. Third, carding a 169, were two teams: Jeb Boyle, Bob Rutherford, Ray Marcon and Ken Bean and Dustin Starr, Jeff Derr, Kelly Grine and Joe Beigle. Placing fifth, with a 170, was the team of J.D. Coccoa,
Chris Snyder, Keith Lesho and Mark Johnson. The top five professionals were Terpak, 67; Starr, 71; Jack Brennan, 73; Boyle, 73, and Coccia, 74.
SENIOR TOUR STOPS AT SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY
Steve Allen and John Pagana both carded 6-over-par 76s on their way to co-medalist honors at the recent NCPGA Senior Tour event held at the Susquehanna Valley Country Club in Hummels Wharf. Competing in the same division, Allen and Pagana also shared top honors in the 60- to 69-year-old flight and were followed by Bucknell golfers Robert Hormell and Jim Cotner, posting rounds of 77 and 83, respectively. Chuck Colyer, of Nittany Country Club, posted a round of 43-41, 84 to finish fourth, while Bill Fleckenstein, of Mountain View Country Club, carded a 42-43, 85 for fifth. Meanwhile, Ken Campbell, of Toftrees, posted a round of 45-49, 94 for a ninth-place finish and Jerry Lauchle, also of Toftrees, shot a 47-48, 95 for 10th place. Playing out of the Bucknell Golf Club, Allen carded the only eagle of the day on the par-5 No. 17 hole, just in time to make up a 2-stroke deficit to Pagana of the host club. Randy Lynch, of Mill Race Golf Club, found the top of the 50- to 59-year-old leaderboard for the first time since the third event of the season at his home course, where it took seven extra holes to land the victory over Bucknell’s Al Kline Jr. Lynch fired a 7-over-par 77 and once again bettered Kline, however this time it was by two strokes, as Kline carded a 79.

Lucas will play a vital role on Lions’ defense By MATT BORTNER sports@centrecountygazette.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Flashback to Penn State’s biggest game of last year, Michigan. “The Whiteout� featured the largest crowd of the season. Cornerback Jordan Lucas was ready to prove to the Big Ten and fans that he was going to be a thorn in the opposing offense’s side. Only five minutes into the game, with no score, the sophomore corner dropped back into zone coverage while Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner dropped back to pass. Gardner immediately locked onto wide receiver target Jeremy Gallon and Lucas broke for the ball. Lucas undercut Gardner and picked the ball off inside Michigan’s own 20. The interception let the then-undefeated Wolverines know that Penn State was ready to play, and the Nittany Lions would go on to win 43-40 in a four-overtime thriller. Opposing quarterbacks should be weary of throwing Lucas’ way this season, as new defensive coordinator Bob Shoop will implement an entirely new aggressive scheme. Lucas, one of the most aggressive players in the Penn State secondary, is excited for the challenge. “I love it. As corner, you want your coaches to have confidence in you to tell you (to) line up against him and win your one-on-one battle,� said Lucas. “We will handle this in here and you stay out there and keep him on a island.� To be able to take on the burden of lining up in man-toman coverage throughout the game, Lucas realizes there are aspects of his game that he must improve upon. Lucas, a junior, said has been watching a lot of film and working on route recognition so he can read quarterbacks’

more interception opportunities because of constant pressure from the defensive line and blitzing linebackers. Last year, Lucas tallied three interceptions and was tied for third in the Big Ten in pass breakups, with 16. Along with improving his game on the field, Lucas has taken a big leadership role within the program. “This is my second year playing on the field, so I kind of had to put that upon myself and then with coaches we talk about it all the time,� Lucas said of leadership. “It takes a lot to be a leader, but when the season gets here I am going to try and be the best leader I can.� Other players on the team are noticing the hard work and leadership transformation he is taking. Senior defensive end C.J. Olaniyan, a teammate who Lucas calls his role model, believes that Lucas is poised for a big season. “Throughout this summer and this spring Lucas has been impressing me because he’s becoming more of a vocal leader, leading by example, coming to everything on time and putting in work,� said Olaniyan. Lucas has never been one to be with shy with his words on and off the field. Watching him play, an observer will notice that he is not afraid to mix things up with the opposition and speak his mind. During the Signature Event over the winter, Lucas stated to former Penn State All-American linebacker LaVar Arrington that he was aware that Penn State is known as “Linebacker U,� but it is also is going to be known as “DB U.� “You think I said it just because? This is something me and the other defensive backs have been talking about all the time,� said Lucas. “Things are going to start to change this year.�

New chapter
Former PSU star Kelly Mazzante starts her coaching career at IUP By MATTHEW BURGLUND Special to the Gazette
INDIANA — Kelly Mazzante is starting a new chapter in her basketball life. That means a blank page is in front of her. Now it’s up to her to write another success story. Mazzante, the former Penn State women’s basketball star who scored more points in her college career than any other player — male or female — in Big Ten Conference history, was recently hired as Tom McConnell’s top assistant for the Indiana University of Pennsylvania women’s program. It’s Mazzante’s first college coaching job, and she’s excited about the ongoing transition from player to coach. “I had a great college career and then I played professionally,” she said, “and I couldn’t have asked for a better career. Now I’m ready to be a coach.” Mazzante, a 32-year-old native of Montoursville, played seven seasons in the WNBA after her days at Penn State (2001-04) came to an end. She also played overseas in the offseason, and retired two years ago with a suitcase full of experiences but no real direction to go. She picked up her license as a certified personal trainer, started boot camps for people looking to get more fit, and worked with kids at her own basketball camp in Philipsburg. But, she kept feeling the pull back to basketball, and that’s when McConnell came into her life. A chance meeting at a tournament soon blossomed into a friendship, and when McConnell had an opening on his staff this spring, the pair started talking. “Once we met, things just clicked right away,” Mazzante said. “I knew he was the one I wanted to learn from.” Mazzante compared the process to her days in high school, when every coach in America wanted her to join them, but nearby Penn State seemed like the best fit. “That decision was based on gut instinct,” she said. “This was the same thing. Just from what he said and from what other people told me about him, I knew (IUP) was the place for me.” McConnell, who went 18-10 in his first year as the Crimson Hawks head coach, is equally excited. “I’m thrilled to have Kelly join our staff for a lot of reasons,” said McConnell. “I’m really happy for our players, who are going to have the opportunity to learn from one of college’s best all-around players. … She’s going to be an outstanding coach for many years to come and she has so much to offer young players. So for her to begin her coaching career at IUP is special for all of us and I look forward to the impact that she’s going to make.”

KELLY MAZZANTE is Penn State’s all-time leading scorer on the hardwood. She recently joined the IUP women’s basketball staff as an assistant coach. With McConnell guiding her, Mazzante hopes to instill the same kind of work ethic and talent she was known for as a player, when she scored 2,919 points in college. She attributes her success to the coaching staff at Penn State, and aims to pay it forward in her career. “Going through it, my coaches were always hard on me and I didn’t know why,” Mazzante said. “But now I understand it and I thank them for it. I hope the kids can learn from me and respect me as a coach because I’ve been through it all. This is kind of neat because I get to experience it all over again.” She’s also excited about the challenge of being a re-
cruiter and bringing top-notch players to the program. “I remember how it felt to be recruited, and that was over 10 years ago,” she said. “I can tell the kids what to expect. I’ll be able to help make sure they make the right decisions.” For Mazzante, the decision to come to IUP already looks like a good one. She’s in the process of moving to Indiana and can’t wait for the next chapter to be written “They say timing is everything,” she said. “I don’t know if I was ready for this two years ago, but I don’t regret retiring as a player. I do miss being on the court, but I’m really excited about this.”
Golfers raise funds for Mount Nittany Medical Center By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — Hundreds of golfers gathered on the Penn State Golf Courses’ greens last Saturday to help raise some green for the Mount Nittany Medical Center. Steve Eskey, an events coordinator with the Penn State courses, said the annual Mount Nittany Medical Center Golf Classic draws more and more people out each year for a lighthearted round of fun for a good cause. Having raised more than $130,000 last year to support the center’s bronchial thermoplasty service for asthma patients, the tournament should have no problem reaching this year’s target of $150,000, according to Eskey. Dr. Paul Suhey, who works in orthopedics at Mount Nittany, has been coming to the tournament for the past 10 years. He says this year’s event will fund the construction
of a healing garden at the hospital. This will give patients and families the chance to spend time together in a peaceful environment while at the hospital. “Events like this are absolutely crucial for us,” Suhey said. “Every year, this lets us take an area of the hospital that needs extra funding and buy new equipment or better our services.” Suhey said the event is always a fun way to spend the day. Volunteers stationed at each hole on the courses offered golfers the chance to purchase additional strokes or tee off closer to the hole. “Those are a lot of fun,” Suhey said. “Most of us get very competitive out here, so that lets us increase our chances of doing well.” Tournament volunteer Carolyn Follett said upwards of 90 percent of the golfers that come through the course takes advantage of these offers, which raises even more
money for the hospital. She said more than 250 golfers came out to support the hospital this year, filling up both Penn State’s Blue Course and White Course. State College resident Steve Schadler said he doesn’t get the chance to golf nearly as often as he would like. A busy man, he only gets out to the greens once or twice a year — but he said Saturday’s event was the prefect chance to bring that up to three. Joe Hall, a sales representative with the hospital, spent the day swinging his clubs with friends and colleagues from the hospital. Sending balls hurtling down the fairway, he said it’s always nice to have the chance to spend time with friends outside of the office. “State College is one of the most generous and giving communities I’ve ever lived in,” Eskey said. “The amount of support we get is beyond comprehension.”

Nickal comes to Penn State from deep in the heart of Texas By ANDY ELDER For the Gazette
When Chance Marsteller, the No. 1 overall recruit in the country, stepped out of his commitment to Penn State and decided to go instead to Oklahoma State, many Nittany Lion fans were despondent. There’s no need for despair. While Bo Nickal, of Allen, Texas, doesn’t have the local name recognition of Marsteller, the four-time PIAA champ from Kennard-Dale, his talent and style might just make fans forget about Marsteller. Nickal was ranked No. 2 at 170, behind Marsteller, and was in the Top 5 or Top 10 of most overall rankings. Nickal is a three-time Texas state champion who compiled a 183-7 record, with 131 of those wins by fall. In 2012, Nickal was a USA Wrestling Triple Crown Winner at the Cadet level. In 2013, Nickal won the 170-pound title at the FILA Cadet Championships and Junior Freestyle Nationals. Also in 2013, he was fifth at the FILA Cadet World Championships. This year, he won a gold medal at 84 kg/185 pounds at the International Junior Champions Tournament. As a projected 174-pounder who could grow into a 184or 197-pounder, Nickal has drawn comparisons to former Nittany Lion Quentin Wright, the two-time NCAA champion and four-time All-American. “When we were watching film on him and watching him compete, yeah, we were definitely talking about him
looking like Quentin,” Penn State coach Cael Sanderson said. “He has his attacks from the outside like the low level shots, but he is not afraid to go upper body. He’s got some very good tricks and some big throws, good hips. In that regard, yeah, he’s going to throw some people here. He’s going to be fun to watch. I think the fans will really enjoy watching him compete because he’s a big-move guy. But he also has the ability to score the nice single leg and that’s what’s important. He’s going to be fun to watch. I think Quentin’s excited for him to get out here so he can train with him a little bit and they can throw each other around.” Much like Nick Nevills, Nickal recruited Penn State as much as the Nittany Lions recruited him. “He’s another kid who just wanted to come to Penn State. We really like the kids who really want to come here. That really means a lot to us because when we look back over history, the guys who really wanted to come to Penn State and didn’t hold back from telling us that, they end up doing pretty darn well,” Sanderson said. “He’s just getting better and better. PA’s so strong that it’s hard not to just stay in PA, but every once in a while you’ve got to go out and get individuals. I think this year we’ve gotten more kids outside of PA than we have the past few years. It just depends on who’s out there and who wants to come to Penn State.” Next week: Of Penn State’s Big Three recruits, Kittanning’s Jason Nolf may be the lowest rated (not by much), but he might have the highest ceiling.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Training camp only just started, but the Nittany Lions are already running out of time. With more than two weeks under the belt, it’s just a few days before coach James Franklin and company will be packing their bags and heading to Ireland. As classes start and the number of practices remaining continue to dwindle, each and every rep, pass, film session and defensive huddle becomes that much more important. As of last week Franklin wasn’t ready to flip the switch and take on UCF preparations just yet, even though he’s happy with what he has seen so far. “It’s been great. We’ve had great energy at practice,” Franklin said. “Guys are flying around. We’ve gotten better. I’ve dramatically seen us get better. Especially on special teams ... I like where we are at right now. “I think we’ve got some really good football players. I really do. I think the staff being together now is really valuable. And I see it showing up in a lot of different areas — how we plan, how we come out here and how we are effective. I don’t know if there is anything that has surprised me, but overall, I’ve been pretty pleased with what we have been able to do.” Penn State will have a good amount of rust to work off in Week 1 — especially on the offensive side of the ball. The good news for fans, though, is Franklin’s confidence in the progress the defense is making. It’s a unit that should be Penn State’s best this season, but it’s only a few injuries away from having some serious issues. “I’ve been very pleased with our defense as a whole,” Franklin said. “When you look across the board at the guys we have on the field, really all 11 starters and some more depth, I think our defense has a chance to play really well. I think they can play fast and play with confidence. With the strength of our D-line, I’m depending on those guys to help the secondary, as well. Because, hopefully, the quarterback isn’t going to be able to hold on to the ball very long.” Penn State might still be focusing on itself right now. The team is working on the fundamentals and all the little details that will help the Nittany Lions succeed. But, sometime in the not-so-distance future, it will be time to flip the switch — because it’ll be game week in just a few days.

Nittany Lions get some sleep in preparation for Dublin By BEN JONES StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — If you’ve done any traveling across time zones, you’re already acquainted with the uncomfortable feeling of your sleep cycle getting out of whack. But chances are, you haven’t played football while you’re still dealing with jet lag. For Penn State and the University of Central Florida, it’s going to be a battle of preparation in the days leading up to the game just as much as it will be a test of skills on the field. The fresher, more-awake team is going to have an advantage as its opponents shake out the still-lingering cobwebs. It’s a five-hour difference between the United States and Ireland, meaning an 8:30 a.m. wake-up call is still in the dead of night for all the traveling parties’ minds
a week ago for about an hour with some people from Ireland just to keep the process going.” “How many rolls of tape, how many scissors, how many this, how many that. To get through customs, every single piece of information has to be logged. So, there’s a lot that goes into it, there’s no doubt about it,” Penn State coach James Franklin said. The Nittany Lions’ equipment and essentials will make their way to Dublin a few days prior to the team’s departure on Tuesday, Aug. 26. From there, it will be the long flight to Dublin, with practice the next day at the College of Dublin. The practice site is a 20-minute drive south of Croke Park on several expansive fields normally used for rugby, Gaelic football and soccer. While the entire exercise has been — and will continue to be — a huge undertaking, it can bring with it plenty of posi-
and bodies. So, there is a plan to deal with that. A simple one. Stay awake. “What you want to try and do is sleep as much as you can on the plane flight overnight,” said Kevin Threlkel, PSU director of football administration. “And then, on Wednesday, we’ll basically keep them going all day and then let them crash at night.” Penn State won’t just be facing an odd body clock. Getting the practice fields in shape and the locker rooms ready, and even getting equipment over to Dublin, provides the entire football staff with challenges. “It has really just been a lot of planning,” Threlkel said. “They started some of the passport stuff before we got here. A few of us went over there to check out the site side of things this spring. The hotel, the game site, the logistics side of things, as well. We had a conference call about
tives. For players, it’s a chance to get a road game under the belt that can prepare them for the road later in the season. For Franklin, his staff and assistants, it’s a chance to prep for a long week leading up to a bowl game. Because, at the end of the day, it’s simply a business trip. “I think it’s going to be a real unique experience, but the hard part is everybody keeps talks about what a great cultural experience for the players, but it’s not like we are going to be touring the countryside,” Franklin said. “We have got a tight schedule. What we have got to do is, we have to make sure our guys have an unbelievable experience at Penn State and get their degrees, and a degree that means something so that once they graduate, they can afford to go on a vacation back to Ireland and enjoy the countryside. But this trip really isn’t for that.”

“The program will provide all studentathletes with an important tool they need to excel academically,” said Linda Caldwell, Penn State’s faculty athletics representative. “With an equal technology base, all 800-plus students-athletes have an even base for success.” The initiative will expand current support programs available to Penn State student-athletes, including: n Enhancing learning through digital technology including e-textbooks, digital course materials and online course programming. n Increasing time management and
efficiency, productivity and connectivity as they seek to achieve high standards of academic and athletic excellence.” “The iPad program will add to the expansive range of support services we provide student-athletes at Penn State,” Joyner said. “We believe the academic benefits, technological opportunities and improved accessibility will enrich the student-athlete experience.” Academically, a total of 285 Nittany Lion student-athletes earned Academic All-Big Ten accolades in 2013-14, Penn State’s second-highest total in its 21 years as a Big Ten member.

Philipsburg-Osceola girls gunning for winning season By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com
PHILIPSBURG — A closer look at the 2014 PhilipsburgOsceola High School girls’ soccer team: Coach — Kristina McKenna, third season. 2013 Record — 7-10-0. Key losses — The Lady Mounties lost 10 seniors, including Erica Coval, Michala Whitehead, Jacki Zawissa, Sarah Belinda, Jordyn Powell and Drew Peters. Key Returnees — Cheyenne Cowfer, Makenzie Myers, Jordyn Bertothy and Maggie Peck. Looking back — Philipsburg-Osceola girls’ soccer head coach Kristina McKenna’s 2013 team had a 7-10 record. “It was the best record we’ve had since I began the program,� McKenna said. The team missed the playoffs by just two games, but the bad news is that 10 seniors from that team graduated. That leaves a very young group of returnees and newcomers who will have to jell quickly. Still, McKenna is looking forward to the new season. “We are a young team, but we are an athletic team,� she said. Strengths — Attitude and chemistry. “They are very coachable,� McKenna said, “and they are very positive.
They are good athletes, so I think with a bit of luck we should have an interesting season. “Some to look out for this year are Maggie Peck, who was an all-star nomination last season.

Nittany Lions receive votes in Top 25 AP Poll By BEN JONES StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State football received five votes in the first AP Top 25 College Football Poll of the 2014 college football season. The poll was released Monday morning. The Nittany Lions have yet to be ranked since the Jerry Sandusky scandal, although Penn State has received votes in the AP poll on multiple
occasions. Penn State is currently ineligible for the Amway Coach’s Poll, according to the NCAA. That current restriction will change as soon as the Nittany Lions’ bowl ban expires or is lifted early. Four Big Ten teams are ranked in the AP’s Top 25, with Ohio State coming in at No. 5 and Michigan State sneaking inside the Top 10 at No. 8. Wisconsin and Nebraska are ranked No.
14 and No. 22, respectively. Penn State will face both the Buckeyes and Spartans this season. In total, Penn State will face two teams in the opening Top 25 and three additional teams receiving votes in the poll. University of Central Florida received 94 votes, putting the Knights, Penn State’s seasonopening opponent, only 36 votes behind the No. 25 spot holder.

Penn State grad helps kids rock at music nonprofit By MARY ELDER Special to the Gazette
UNIVERSITY PARK — Do you remember your school music class? Did you play “Hot Cross Buns” on the recorder? Did you learn about quarter notes and whole notes? Are you a lifelong music maker as a result? Penn State alumnus Keith Hejna is helping transform the lives of children by unlocking their inner music-making skills — but not the way many elementary-aged children experienced music in school. As communications officer for the national nonprofit Little Kids Rock, Hejna manages artist relations, communications, marketing and many fundraising initiatives that help the organization provide free training to music teachers and donate instruments and curricula to under-served public school districts across the United States. The difference between Little Kids Rock and many other nonprofits is its “modern band” curriculum. “Picture Jack Black in the movie ‘School of Rock,’” Hejna said, “and then picture that happening in under-funded public schools all over the United States.” Little Kids Rock trains public school teachers to put their students at the center of their own learning experience by tapping into their creativity, getting them playing on day one and encouraging improvisation and songwriting. “Not only are we saving music programs from being cut, but we are revitalizing the way it is taught by giving kids access to guitars, drums and keyboards, and teaching them the musical styles that they love, like rock, pop, hip-hop and country,” he said. Modern band is becoming the norm in many school districts, taking a seat at the table with traditional music programs like concert band, marching band, jazz band and choir. However, it took a lot of time and work to put Little Kids Rock on the map. “When I started working at Little Kids Rock a year after graduating from Penn State, the organization was really small — four employees, serving 30,000 kids — and it had very little structure or processes in place to make it resemble a true business,” Hejna said. “We were grassroots.” Little Kids Rock is now the nation’s leading nonprofit provider of musical instruments and instruction to U.S. public schools, serving more than 135,000 kids
in 26 cities and affecting major system change in the way that music education is taught. “Nowadays everything is geared toward testing and teaching to the test. In order for most schools in inner cities districts to get funding, their kids must do well on standardized tests. The arts and music programs are the first to get cut, and I think that is very short sighted,” Hejna said. “At Little Kids Rock, we meet students where they are. Kids in rough neighborhoods, they need something to engage with, something to make school worth coming to. This music program has taken kids who may have dropped out and gotten them to engage with and enjoy school.” Hejna, who earned his degree in advertising/public relations from Penn State in 2008, began his career with Little Kids Rock as an intern and quickly proved his worth as a communications specialist, building the organization’s communications plan, managing cause-based marketing initiatives with companies like State Farm and JC Penney, pitching news stories, maintaining press clips, writing weekly newsletters, managing social media, making website updates, and controlling the organization’s branding and messaging. “It’s a lot of work because several of my job functions would be full-time jobs for people at another company, and they would have a staff working for them and supporting them,” Hejna said. “I am building this department from the ground up.” He is doing some things he never thought he would with his degree, and Hejna has been pleasantly surprised by how prepared he was to learn and manage so much so early in his career. Along with rigorous, professionally oriented classes, he credits personal attention by College of Communications faculty members and a semester-long project on a PR campaign for Centre County Special Olympics as things that made his transition to a fulltime job easy. In addition, Hejna has had several interns who have gained valuable experience working with him at Little Kids Rock, including some from Penn State who attended his presentation about nonprofit communications at a Public Relations Student Society of American regional conference. Another major part of Hejna’s job is building relationships with celebrities who help raise awareness for Little Kids Rock’s mission. From Bruce Springsteen to

Lady Gaga and James Hetfield, Hejna has helped organize galas, school instrument deliveries, fundraising campaigns, ticket add-ons and other special collaborations that have shined a spotlight on the work Little Kids Rock does in schools. “It is so inspiring to see some of these big celebrities engaging with young kids over something that they share together — music,” Hejna said. “When we bring G. Love, Bootsy Collins or the Black Eyed Peas to jam with students, it’s an incredible experience for these kids. They don’t usually have adults taking interest in them, let alone celebrities.” While some people might be awestruck when interacting with celebrities, it doesn’t phase Hejna. “I love it,” he said. “The best part about it is that I get to see them in a different light. Most times, as a rock star or a movie star, they are hounded to do so many things that are a part of their job, but that they are not passionate about. When they get to be the people who are doing good for children by delivering instruments or
teaching them something on the guitar, I see just as much excitement and enjoyment on the celebrities’ faces as I do on the kids.’” Not only has Little Kids Rock touched the lives of many students and celebrities, but it has also been instrumental in Hejna’s life. “I’ve had a lot of different jobs over the course of my life. I have been working since middle school in a variety of summer jobs. This is the only job that I’ve had for over a year. It is the only career I have ever had.” Now in his sixth year at Little Kids Rock, Hejna does not see himself leaving anytime soon. “It has totally changed my life,” he said. “Once you boil away all the details and tasks, you are still left with the mission. We transform children’s lives through music education, and that is the most rewarding part of my job. It’s my passion. I wake up feeling excited to go to work, and I go to sleep every night feeling content with what I’ve done that day, because it will impact a child.”
Yudenich aids ballet students during visit to State College By ANNE WALKER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — Each summer, Ballet Theatre of State College gives students the opportunity to take classes taught by visiting guest artists. Last week, Gabriella Yudenich spent four days sharing her expertise with BTSC students. Yudenich danced professionally for more than 10 years with the esteemed Pennsylvania Ballet, first in the corps de ballet and as a soloist soon after. Now she spends time giving young dancers instruction and guidance as they work through the labor-intensive art form of classical ballet. One evening Yudenich led a class of 8and 9-year-olds through the barre work that helps to establish proper muscle work. “Show me a sickled foot,” she requested. “Now, show me a pointed foot.” The students sickled, then pointed, their feet over and over until they all felt the difference. In each subsequent exercise, they repeated movement incorrectly, then properly. Again and again. And, for kids that age

doing such painstaking work, they didn’t fidget, talk, fool around or get distracted in any way. Each student stayed focused on doing things right. “It can be tedious at times,” Yudenich said, “and young dancers have to do it over and over until they gain a tiny bit of understanding.” Yudenich herself began dancing at age 7. She gained much of her dance education from her mother, Barbara Sandonato, the very first Pennsylvania Ballet dancer. She also studied at the Rock School, which boasts alumni in every major American company, School of American Ballet and Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet. She then launched a professional career with Pennsylvania Ballet. A true devotee of the rigors of ballet, Yudenich performed in classic works such as “Sleeping Beauty,” “Nutcracker,” “La Bayadere,” “Giselle” and “Swan Lake.” And now, BTSC students have had the benefit of her experience, which she willingly shares. She seems to understand how to motivate even the youngest dancers to take the art seriously. “Of course children do have to have the

Corporate governance employs multiple strategies By VICTORIA FRYER Special to the Gazette
UNIVERSITY PARK — The most effective corporate governance occurs when a mix of complementary mechanisms that include CEO incentive alignment and both internal and external monitoring mechanisms are present, according to a new study from Penn State Smeal College of Business faculty member Vilmos Misangyi and his colleague from the Singapore Management University. Corporate governance refers to the collection of activities meant to help ensure that executives make the best decisions for shareholder profitability. While much past research has attempted to evaluate the effectiveness of each governance mechanism individually, Misangyi’s study of the S&P 1500 firms instead takes a holistic view of how these activities work in concert to achieve profitability.
The two primary categories of governance mechanisms include incentive alignment and monitoring. Alignment mechanisms incentivize executives to act in the best interest of shareholders through, for example, CEO stock ownership and compensation contingent upon firm performance. Monitoring can occur from both internal and external sources, such as boards of directors and shareholders owning large blocks of equity. “The effectiveness of the governance bundle requires the presence of both CEO incentive alignment and monitoring mechanisms,” the researchers found. “All six of the different configurations (of governance mechanisms) leading to high profits … include at least one of the CEO alignment mechanisms and at least one each of the internal and external monitoring mechanisms.” These findings go against the prevail-
CEO of Pennsylvania Builders Association resigns HARRISBURG — Jennifer Casey, CEO of the Pennsylvania Builders Association, has announced her resignation from the position, effective Friday, Oct. 31. “While I am looking forward to beginning a new chapter in my life, I have made some lifelong connections throughout my time with PBA that I will miss,” she said. “The staff, locals and members of our association have become like family to me.” Casey said she plans to pursue personal goals, such as training horses, selling real estate and getting back into residential construction. Casey’s objectives from the start of her time at PBA in 2012 were to transform the association into an efficient and transparent organization. She streamlined the budget and implemented a new accounting system that improves the structure of financials. She also realigned the association’s values to focus on delivering resources to its local associations to make them more capable of success on the front lines of gaining membership, and initiated the “5 for 5” campaign to grow membership 5 percent
every year for the next five years. “I have had the most enjoyable and amazing ride of my life serving with everyone, and I have the greatest respect and admiration for the knowledge, insight, drive and passion JENNIFER CASEY that set them apart as true leaders,” Casey said. “I hope we cross paths often and can share a laugh.” “Jennifer will truly be missed. I wish her the best in all of her future endeavors,” said Kevin Coutts, president of PBA. Applicants interested in the open position of CEO of PBA should send a cover letter with resume and salary history, along with three professional references, to Mary Ann Sesler at masesler@pabuilders.org prior to Monday, Sept. 15. For more information and to view a full job description, visit www.pabuilders.org or call (814) 490-9629.
New Smeal post to bridge gap between MBA student recruiting, employer relations UNIVERSITY PARK — Brenda Fabian, assistant director of employer relations and recruiting, is the newest Penn State Smeal MBA program staff member. Filling a new position for the college, she will be responsible for candidate recruiting as well as employer relationships. “On the employer relations side, I’ll be maintaining relationships with some of our top employers as well as investigating opportunities to deepen relationships with some new employers,” Fabian explained. “On the recruiting side, I’ll be reaching out to prospective students who would fit in well with our areas of strength.” The Smeal MBA program recognizes the importance of connecting students with top companies. According to the program’s managing director, Carrie Marcinkevage, Fabian’s position will help
expand the program’s corporate network and provide student recruitment support. “Connecting our students with their post-MBA careers is one of our primary missions as a business school, and we believe that Brenda will provide a direct line of sight for aligning great students with great employers,” said Marcinkevage. Prior to joining Smeal, Fabian served as director of the Career Development Center at Susquehanna University, which provided her with a keen understanding of both student and recruiter needs. She also brings recruiting experience from her time as an admissions representative for St. Francis University. Fabian holds a master’s degree in student personnel from Slippery Rock University and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from St. Francis University.

nisms as they work together rather than attempting to evaluate effectiveness of those mechanisms individually. “To truly understand governance effectiveness, we must stop thinking about the mechanisms in isolation, giving up a search for the end all mechanism(s), and instead direct attention to how the various governance mechanisms effectively combine with each other for the particular outcomes desired,” the researchers wrote. The article “Substitutes or Complements? A Configurational Examination of Corporate Governance Mechanisms” is forthcoming in the Academy of Management Journal from Misangyi, associate professor of management and organization at Smeal, and Abhijith G. Acharya, assistant professor of strategic management at the Singapore Management University. Acharya earned a doctorate from Smeal in 2013.
ing conventional views that governance mechanisms tend to substitute for one another (e.g., as long as incentives are present, monitoring need not be). Two key implications pertain to board independence and CEO duality. Although board independence — a board made up of members without material or relational ties to the firm — tends to be beneficial, this monitoring mechanism is not effective by itself. Furthermore, whereas many governance reformers hold CEO duality — when the CEO is also the chairperson of the board — to be detrimental, the findings clearly suggest that both CEO duality and CEO non-duality can lead to high or low profits depending upon the accompanying governance arrangements. The researchers conclude that future study and implementation of corporate governance should take into account the full configuration of governance mecha-
