Health facilities thrive on technology Records, doctors’ notes integrated online, centralizing the system
(Editor’s note: This is part two in a two-part series, “The future of health care in rural areas: plugging in to branch out.” Gazette staff writer Marjorie S. Miller takes a look at what our region’s health facilities are doing to connect to the patient and stay current in an ever-changing industry.)

STATE COLLEGE — In an age of continuously developing technology, hospitals and health care systems are forced to make changes to their systems to stay afloat. And in parts of rural Pennsylvania, these updates may prove even more crucial when it comes to both providing patient care and connecting medical expertise. One of the newest advances
in health technology is how doctors orchestrate health care; the approach has changed from writing notes and records on paper to entering the information electronically.
GOING LIVE
As of July 1, Mount Nittany Medical Center is completely online, though the process started many years ago. Dr. Stephen Tingley, chief information officer at Mount Nittany Medical Center, said the facility has been using electronic medical records since 1997. It started with lab data, he said, and then nursing went live a number of years ago. More than three years ago, doctors went live when they started charting on the computer, and the emergency room soon followed, he said. Mount Nittany Medical Cen-
ter didn’t take the “big bang” approach to going online all at once, Tingley said; rather, it “got used to the idea” over time. During the process, some doctors were using paper and some were online, he said, so essentially there were two charts containing the same information. “That became something we increasingly became uncomfortable with,” Tingley said. The safest approach for patients, he said, is to have one record. The One Record Initiative implemented on July 1 enables the medical center to provide accurate, efficient, real-time information across the system of care. A computerized electronic system, One Record allows information to be shared more readily and securely, according to Allison Health, Page 4
More lawsuit settlements near in PSU abuse talks By MARK SCOLFORO The Associated Press
HARRISBURG — Negotiations between Penn State and young men who claim they were abused by Jerry Sandusky have begun to bear fruit, with lawyers involved saying there will be more announcements of settlements in the coming days. The school’s trustees have set aside some $60 million to pay claims, and on Monday a lawyer working for Penn State said the one settlement so far should be followed by 24 more this week. Thirty-one young men have come forward to Penn State. Attorney Michael Rozen said the pending agreements include most of the eight young men who
testified last year against Sandusky, the school’s former assistant football coach now serving a prison sentence for child molestation. Penn State said little last weekend in response to an announcement by the lawyer for one of the eight, “Victim 5,” that his case was fully settled and he expected payment within a month. The school is paying out the claims through its insurance coverage and from interest revenues on loans made by the school to its own self-supporting entities. Rozen said all of the deals are expected to include provisions that give the university the right to pursue claims against the university’s insurer, The Settlements, Page 6

United Way reveals campaign goal of $2.1 million By MARJORIE S. MILLER
mmiller@centrecountygazette.com
BOALSBURG — The Centre County United Way announced Monday at its annual campaign kickoff that 25 percent of its 2013 goal has been reached. Held at Tussey Mountain in Boalsburg, the Aug. 19 event featured dinner and remarks from Centre County United Way staff and volunteers, and the reveal of the 2013 campaign goal of $2.1 million. Pacesetter Campaign cochairs Dianna Meckley, Mindy Dillon and Colleen Williams announced the Pacesetter total of $530,096, which represents 25 percent of the 2013 goal, and will be added to the campaign thermometer. Aaron King, Bellefonte native and former United States Marine, opened the program by sharing his personal story of how the United Way and its partner agencies have aided his family in numerous ways. “With your donations … it has helped my family,” he said. Wounded during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003, King had to re-learn how to walk and talk. When his daughter was born pre-

Video disputes victim’s robbery story StateCollege.com STATE COLLEGE — The State College Police Dept. said Tuesday afternoon that video evidence of a reported robbery earlier in the day disputed what the victim initially told police. A female employee told police she was in the parking lot of the Uni-Mart when an unknown male with scruffy clothes ap-
proached her, police said. The employee said the man took a bag of money from her and cut her, giving her superficial injuries, police said. Video evidence obtained by police disputed the victim’s account, police said in a press release. The video shows the victim in the lot alone and does not show a robbery occurring, according to the release.

STATE COLLEGE — A second woman has been charged in connection with a fraudulent credit card cash advance scheme. Frances Angela Nevarez, 37, of Citrus Heights, Calif., was arrested Tuesday in West Virginia for driving a stolen rental car, investigators say. Nevarez was charged by the West Virginia State Police with possession of a stolen vehicle. She will be extradited back to
Centre County after she faces charges in West Virginia. Nevarez was found in the stolen car after police tracked her down with the OnStar location system. Nevarez, along with Jocelyn Wilson, 21, of California, hit a series of banks in State College with a stolen credit card, police said. Wilson was charged after she allegedly used a stolen credit card to get a $5,000 cash advance on Aug. 2 from Citizens Bank on West College Avenue.

YSB adds names to its Donor Wall By CHRIS MORELLI
editor@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — The Donor Wall at the Centre County Youth Service Bureau gained a few more names on Tuesday afternoon. The Donor Wall at YSB acknowledges lifetime giving. Several people and businesses — Bruce and Kym Burke (One on One Fitness), Amy Marshall (Babst Calland), Bob Hufnagel (State of the Art), Betsy Suhey and Jack and Marie Makdad — were honored as their lifetime donations eclipsed $50,000. “It’s huge,” said YSB CEO Andrea Boyles. “It really says that people here are invested in kids, that they are committed charitably to kids and that they recognize the value of YSB and what we do for kids in the community.” The Donor Wall is one of the first things one sees upon entering the front door at YSB. “This is a way for us to really recognize people who have given significant gifts over their lifetime,” Boyles said. Donor Walls are common in hospitals and libraries. When YSB moved its offices from downtown State College, the Donor Wall seemed like a natural, Boyles said. “When we moved here, that was something that was high on our list. We really wanted to make sure we had a place to acknowledge our lifetime donors,” she said. There was a short reception for the donors, followed by some brief remarks and photos in front of the wall. “It’s really just a way for us to say thank you one more time to these folks,” Boyles said. The Makdads are from Sinking Valley,
but feel a close connection to YSB. “YSB is important to us. Our family has always been involved with children and youth programs. We just kind of got drawn to their cause … we’ve been very lucky, our kids have been very lucky. We’ll do anything we can do to help kids in our community,” Jack Makdad said. Makdad got involved with YSB through its many events. He was then asked to be on YSB’s Board of Directors. “I’ve been involved since 1995 or so,” Makdad said. “I’ve seen a lot of organizations that just ask for money. These guys are very proactive doing what it takes to get their own funding. They’re very creative. I was impressed with that.” Hufnagel is a special member of YSB’s Donor Wall — he’s on it twice. He’s on as an individual, of course. His business, State of the Art Inc., was added to the wall on Tuesday. At the reception, he joked about “wall domination.” According to Hufnagel, YSB is a nonprofit agency unlike any other in Centre County. “It offers a wealth of resources that people can’t obtain on their own,” Hufnagel explained. “Being an individual who has been fortunate and been blessed … when my kids had problems I was able to help them. Most people don’t have that wherewithal. I think from the development standpoint of the community, it’s best for us to have those resources available for people.” Hufnagel said that while it’s nice to be recognized on the Donor Wall, that’s not what his contributions are all about. “It’s really all about the kids,” he said. “(YSB) makes for a better, stronger community.”

Health, from page 1 Myers, public relations strategist for the medical center. Two systems share information through One Record: MEDITECH, the electronic health record system used by the medical center, and Allscripts, the electronic health record system used by Mount Nittany Physician Group. All of the patient’s health information is available on the physician’s computer, resulting in patients not having to remember all of their medications, previous doctor’s appointments, or the most recent ER visit, Myers said. “It’s more about the time our providers can spend on making our community well and keeping them healthy, ensuring our patients receive the best care possible,� she said. The transition required a “robust training program� for the staff, Tingley said. Referred to as One Record University, the program consisted of online materials, lectures and other methods. “(We had a) full library of training for every element of our system,� Tingley said. To help make the training less daunting for the about 400 active members of the medical staff, the program, as its name suggests, was run like that of a college or university, he explained, in which staff had to pass tests, and were awarded certificates. As there are risks with any electronic system, safeguards have been built in to Mount Nittany Medical Center’s online structure, Tingley said, in an effort to catch and reduce potential errors and mistakes. One such example is a built-in ordering process where doctors, nurses and physicians can check medications before they are ordered for a patient. Tingley said the medical center is working on advancements other health care facilities and systems are just getting started

on. The HIMSS Analytics, a not-for-profit subsidiary of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, has recognized Mount Nittany Medical Center as a Stage 6 hospital, putting it in the top ranks among other health care systems in the United States. The highest stage is 7. “We ‌ know by the numbers we’re well in advance of our peers,â€? Tingley said. According to its website, HIMSS Analytics supports improved decision making for health care organizations, health care IT companies and consulting firms by delivering high quality data and analytical expertise. There are eight stages, 0-7, on the HIMSS Analytics database. The rankings are determined by the Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model, which identifies and scores hospitals using an 8-step scale that charts the path to a fully paperless environment, according to the HIMSS website. In the United States, there are 553 Stage 6 hospitals. There are 35 in Pennsylvania, including Mount Nittany Medical Center. Altoona Hospital is also on the Stage 6 list, according to the HIMSS website. “Reaching Stage 6 is a result of focus, good direction and a steadfast commitment from leadership,â€? the website states. “Stage 6 institutions have established clear goals for improving safety, minimizing errors and prioritizing IT implementations.â€? There are 117 Stage 7 hospitals in the United States, including one in Pennsylvania: Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, according to the website. Tingley said Mount Nittany Medical Center’s commitment to its updates and developments, which started many years ago, is paying off now. The computer is a powerful tool that enables many areas of growth and improvement, he said, like helping the medical center make better decisions and aggregating data to look for trends and outcomes.

But it took the recent push to fully receive all of the benefits technology has to offer. “Only when (we’re) all in the computer, can we really dig into data to improve patient care,� he said. “I think we’re in a really good position to give people exactly the kind of health care they’re looking for.�
CREATING PARTNERSHIPS TO ENHANCE PATIENT CARE
A goal of One Record, Mount Nittany Health is focused on improving access to information at the point of care, according to Wayne Thompson, senior vice president and chief information officer at Mount Nittany Health. This means enhancing connectivity between partners and affiliates of Mount Nittany Health; two of Mount Nittany’s biggest are Geisinger and Penn State Hershey, he said. Mount Nittany Health has put in place an HIE, or health information exchange, consisting of both hardware and software, in which information can be received from both Mount Nittany’s system and systems of other partners and affiliates, Thompson said. This enables information to be aggregated and passed along, he said, which is consistent with Mount Nittany’s goal of having the correct information at the right place and the right time. Thompson said Mount Nittany is in discussions with Geisinger and Penn State Hershey regarding this push. “We are moving along a continuum with both of them,� he said. Phase 1 of the exchange essentially involves scanning and faxing documents, and then including them in the electronic medical record, Thompson said. Phase 2, which is currently under way, involves directly transferring data from a partner into Mount Nittany’s system, and then to patient care, he said. This data includes a patient’s “discreet data,� such as a blood pressure reading, medications, or anything that happens during a doctor’s visit, being transferring from one partner system to the next. Information gathered at another facility can be sent to Mount Nittany; from there that data can be combined with the values recorded at Mount Nittany, Thompson said. This helps Mount Nittany to see how the patient has been doing over time, he said. It shows where and when any recent tests were done, and the values of those tests. “It’s also very helpful for avoiding unnecessary tests,� he said. Thompson said Mount Nittany is in different stages of Phase 2 with Geisinger and with Penn State Hershey. “(We’ll be) testing that capability hopefully this fall,� he said. The same kind of health information exchange is true with other local partners

of Mount Nittany, Thompson said, such as long-term care and rehabilitation facilities. Mount Nittany patients may be transferred from the hospital to one of those centers, or from one of those centers to the hospital. “(We have the) ability to transfer and exchange data with those facilities,� he said. Information exchange with these partners provides a host of benefits, Thompson said, in addition to reducing errors and avoiding unnecessary tests. One big advantage is speed, he said, referring to the time it takes for information to be transferred. If a patient arrives unresponsive in the emergency department, medical staff can still obtain information from him or her, and take the appropriate actions. Another highlight is the overall patient satisfaction, Thompson said. “We have complete information,� he said, meaning physicians and nurses won’t have to keep asking a patient about his or her medications. By having more complete information, Mount Nittany Health can deliver better care, he said.
EVERY SECOND COUNTS
For Penn State Hershey, providing state-of-the-art technology to a wider range of hospitals in the region not only helps improve patient care and outcome, it may even save lives. Penn State Hershey’s telemedicine program, LionNet, involves a partnership with REACH Health, a telemedicine company founded by a neurologist at the Medical College of Georgia, according to Dr. Kevin M. Cockroft, professor of neurology, radiology and public health sciences, and codirector at the Penn State Hershey Stroke Center. The program’s stroke care, or LionNetStroke, enables patients at network hospitals to receive a consultation with a neurology or neurosurgery stoke expert without actually having to travel to Hershey, Cockroft said.

AugusT 22-28, 2013 Health, from page 4 tient to be treated much sooner than may have otherwise been the case. Depending on the outcome of the telemedicine consultation, some patients may even be able to stay at their local hospital and avoid traveling to Hershey altogether. For others, LionNet provides for rapid transfer and timely access to the potentially lifesaving or life-altering, advanced interventions offered by Penn State Hershey, he said. “Penn State Hershey acts as the central site for a network of hospitals. A portable telecommunications device or ‘cart’ is placed at each network hospital. When a person arrives at a network hospital and is found to have a stroke, the hospital’s staff contacts stroke experts at Penn State Hershey for a consultation.” A two-way audio-video link is then established, Cockroft said, allowing a Penn State Hershey physician to evaluate the patient at the network hospital and provide recommendations for management of the patient. “Since much of acute stroke care is time sensitive, such timely consultations can lead to more rapid treatment and improved neurological outcomes,” he said. There are two types of stroke: ischemic, which occurs when the brain artery becomes blocked, potentially leading to the death of any brain tissue supplies by that artery; and hemorrhagic, which occurs when a brain blood vessel ruptures or bursts, Cockroft said. Currently, there is only one drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of ischemic stroke. To be safe and effective, this drug, tPA, must be given within three hours of stroke onset, or four-and-a-half hours for certain patients, he said. “Unfortunately, many physicians, particularly in hospitals or communities where there are no stroke experts, are uncomfortable giving the drug because of concerns over causing bleeding in the brain,” Cockroft said. “As a result, many patients that might benefit from tPA actually never get the drug. Using the LionNet-Stroke system, network hospitals are able to rapidly access the expertise
The CenTre CounTy gAzeTTe of neurologists and neurosurgeons at Penn State Hershey to aid in the delivery of this important treatment.” LionNet-Stroke went live with its first hospital in July of 2012, Cockroft said. By the fall of last year the program had three hospitals, and now the network has grown to include seven hospitals. “Currently the program fields approximately 40 (to) 50 consultations per month,” he said. Penn State Hershey is only one of five Pennsylvania hospitals to be recognized as a Comprehensive Stroke Center by the Joint Commission, Cockroft said. “This designation illustrates Penn State Hershey’s commitment to all facets of stroke care, from community wellness and primary prevention, to initial treatment and hospital care, onto tailored rehabilitation, and finally through to a reintegration into society and future prevention,” he said. There are approximately 50 Comprehensive Stoke Centers in the United States, Cockroft said. Like its other developing programs, LionNet is an integral part of Penn State Hershey’s plan to further incorporate technology into healthcare delivery, Cockroft said. “Such technology,” he said, “is another step toward enabling all patients, regardless of their physical location, to have access to expert, specialized medical care.” “In an area such as Central Pennsylvania, with many rural and medically underserved communities, this is particularly important,” Cockroft continued. “Given the early success of the LionNet-Stroke program, it is likely that the service will be expanded to other areas of medical care. This technology combined with the necessary human expertise puts Penn State Hershey at the leading edge of this technological revolution in health care.” For more information about Mount Nittany Medical Center visit www. mountnittany.org.

Sweet Memories, from page 1 sweet tooth. No matter what you’re looking for, chances are you can find it at Sweet Memories. The candy shop held its grand opening over the weekend. “I’m like a kid in a candy store, so I thought I might as well own one,” said Sweet Memories owner Dee Wilkins, who hails from the Penns Valley area. “We fiddled around with a couple of ideas … I wanted to re-create that joy of going around hunting pennies and being able to buy candy for a penny. So we decided to do it.” Once Wilkins decided on a concept, she needed a storefront. “It was really hard. We rented this place for a whole year before we were able to open,” Wilkins said. “We rented the store and pieced together the antique cabinets.” According to Wilkins, the antique cabinets are the real deal. “A friend of mine hooked me up. She said this guy had three pieces that he’d bought from his dad’s penny candy store that shut down in Pittsburgh. He gave us a really good deal because we promised to open up the store,” she said. Once they had the cabinets, it was time to fill them. “We just started ordering inventory,” she explained. “It’s tough getting started.” Inside Sweet Memories, the cases and shelves are packed with candy. Items like Swedish Fish are just a penny apiece. There are several penny candy items, so customers can walk in with a quarter and walk out with 25 pieces of candy. “I’ve had several people come in and buy two fish. It’s two cents. Kids are running up and down the street. They get so excited when they find a nickel or a dime,” Wilkins said. There are items that are hard to find — gums such as the original cinnamon Dentyne, Fruit Stripe and Freshen Up. There are candies that can’t be found at the big box stores — items like candy cigarettes, bubble gum cigars and rope licorice. If you enjoy the traditional candy bars, don’t fret. Those are available as well. Wilkins wants the store to be customerfriendly. Candy enthusiasts are invited to visit the store, talk sweets and hang out.

THE SHELVES at Sweet Memories are filled with plenty of options. Candy lovers will find plenty of options — everything from throwback penny candy to today’s candy bars.
“I have regulars already,” Wilkins said with a laugh. “They come in and hang out. I haven’t gotten any negative feedback. It’s all been positive.” Wilkins said that if there’s a candy that someone wants, all they need to do is ask. If the candy is still being produced, she will try to track it down. “I’m taking requests,” Wilkins said. “If there is something they’d like to see and I don’t have it, I know I can find it.” Wilkins’ daughter, Jennifer Alterio, is the store’s manager. “My mom has a big heart. She just wants to give back to the community. That’s what I like about it,” Alterio said. “I love being in here. I love the atmosphere. It’s nice meeting new people. It’s great.” For more information about Sweet Memories, visit their Facebook page or call (814) 308-4634.

incubator and in the NICU, he said, and eventually became strong enough to be released to go home. King said he and his wife didn’t think anything was wrong with their daughter, but she wasn’t walking or talking. It was recommended that the family check into the United Way for therapy for premature children. “I remember the amount of anger and frustration my wife and I felt at that time,” he said. King’s daughter was evaluated through Strawberry Fields Inc., a United Way agency that supports individuals and families with developmental delays, intellectual disabilities and mental illness, according to its website. It was determined that King’s daughter needed speech and physical therapy, King said. Throughout the process, his daughter persevered. Because of her strength and drive, King declared his major at Penn State to be rehabilitation in human services, he said. “After seeing what she went through and that determination that little girl had … that motivated me,” he said. Four months after therapy, and at 9 months old, King said his daughter could crawl. And in July 2012 she was able to take her first steps, thanks to the help of her therapist. One month later she was completely discharged from physical therapy. King said his daughter continues to receive speech therapy through Strawberry Fields, and has learned sign language. King, himself, has been working at Skills of Central PA, a United Way partner agency that serves those with disabilities, and has placed some 500 clients in jobs, he said. “(Skills clients are the) hardest working individuals you will ever meet,” King said. Community donations to the United Way support Skills and its many services, he said. “(It) takes a very special person to work in this field,” King said about Skills. “You have to have an open heart. You to have to love these guys.” Ending with a quote from former Penn State football coach, the late Joe Paterno, King said the United Way has really come “full circle” with his family. His daughter receives care through Strawberry Fields, a partner of United Way, and he gives back by working at Skills, also a partner of United Way. “Believe in your heart that you’re destined to do great things,” he said, quoting Paterno. George Downsbrough, 2013 United Way campaign cochair, said he is pleased with the Pacesetter total, but “there’s still much work over the next five months if we’re going to meet our goal.” The grand total of the campaign, which ends Jan. 31, will be announced in February, he said. “United we can improve lives in Centre County,” Downsbrough said. Also at the event, United Way Executive Director Tammy Gentzel spoke, as well as 2013 campaign co-chair Nick Lingenfelter. The 2013 Pacesetter Campaign included support from 33 local companies and 34 United Way partner agencies, as well as the United Way board and staff. For more information visit www.ccunitedway.org.
Second Mile charity founded by Sandusky and The Second Mile’s insurer. Sandusky is serving a 30- to 60year sentence in state prison after being convicted last summer of 45 counts of child sexual abuse. Witnesses testified that he met victims through The Second Mile, an organization established to help at-risk children that ran camps and offered other services. Rozen said the “value” of the claims depended in part on whether they happened after 2001, when top-ranking school officials were told by a graduate assistant about Sandusky with a child in a team shower, or before 1998, the earliest documented example of a Sandusky complaint. “It’s what did Penn State know and what duty did they have?” Rozen said. “What did they know, when did they know it, and what duty — if any — did they have to act, and to what extent?” He said claims for abuse before 1998 also may fall outside the statute of limitations that put time limits on how long victims have to sue. Although some lawyers have said they were interested in settlements that require Penn State to

Goreham said that she thought the borough would defend her if she tried to marry the two, but was instead told she would be violating her oath of office if she did. “Integrity is very important,” Goreham said. “ There are people who don’t agree with the law, but they should uphold it ... we should respect laws.” Goreham said the wedding was not a personal event and that, even though she is mayor and can never truly be a “private citizen,” the event simply showed her personal views on the matter of marriage equality.

STATE COLLEGE — Even though she hosted the first same-sex wedding in State College, State College Mayor Elizabeth Goreham said she has been told by the borough that if she were to officially marry the two men, she would be violating her oath of office. Joseph Davis and Gregory Scalzo were married in Goreham’s home on Monday morning. The marriage is the first known same-sex marriage in State College, Goreham said earlier.

The Register of Wills in Montgomery County began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couple a few weeks ago despite the fact that samesex marriage is not legal in Pennsylvania. Davis and Scalzo drover to Montgomery County from their home in Bushkill, Pa., to receive a marriage license and contacted Goreham after about the service. Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane has said she would not defend the state’s ban on gay marriage. Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett supports the ban.

UNIVERSITY PARK — In response to reports that Penn State Trustee Peter Khoury removed himself as one of the plaintiffs for the Paterno lawsuit against the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the sanctions they placed on the university, Penn State issued a response saying the involvement of the trustees in the lawsuit is a conflict of interest. University spokesman David La Torre said via email that both the board of trustees leadership and the legal subcommittee are concerned about the fact that five trustees are listed as plaintiffs in the suit.

La Torre said Khoury’s involvement in litigation would have required Khoury to recuse himself from “significant” parts of the deliberations and candidate interviews. According to reports from early Tuesday, Khoury said he was “threatened” by board leadership if he did not drop his name from the suit. The committee Khoury was referencing, Presidential Selection Council, includes those most tenured and experienced of the trustees, including trustees Karen Peetz and Ken Frazier. Ryan McCombie, Adam Taliaferro, Anthony Lubrano and Alvin Clemens are the other trustees listed as plaintiffs in the suit.

Eurozone emerges from recession We had a shot of good economic news recently: The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits declined by 15,000 to 320,000, the lowest since October 2007. There was something special about the context. Conscientious readers who dig deeply enough into stories documenting the United States’ slog back toward prosperity inevitably run into a disclaimer that says all of this economic domestic progress could slow greatly or even stop if Europe slides deeper into recession. Thankfully, the 17-nation eurozone has emerged from a record 18-month recession. The bloc’s economy collectively grew at 0.3 percent in the Aprilto-June quarter, an annual rate of 1.1 percent. Predictably, Germany was the zone’s powerhouse, with a quarterly growth of 0.7 percent — fortuitously for Angela Merkel, who faces voters Dale McFeatters Sept. 22 in running for a third term is a columnist for as chancellor. France followed at 0.5 Scripps-Howard News Service. percent. And economically anemic Portugal, admittedly starting from a low base, posted the bloc’s highest quarterly gain at 1.1 percent. The problem-plagued economies of Italy and Spain contracted by 0.2 percent and 0.1 percent for the quarter — more slowly than expected. But that, too, was an improvement of sorts, prompting The Financial Times to say the “data showed both Italy and Spain were slowly easing out of their recessions.” Olli Rehn, the European commissioner for economic affairs, said the recovery, though “delicate but sustainable,” showed that the eurozone response to the recession was the correct one. The Wall Street Journal took a more measured and pessimistic view: “Most economists say the recovery is too sluggish to overcome the eurozone’s multiple ailments, including still-rising debts, mass unemployment, hobbled banks and political instability.” That means the conscientious reader looking for an economic downer out of Europe will just have to read even deeper into stories out of the eurozone to offset good news out of the U.S.

Does ‘stop-and-frisk’ go too far? A federal judge this week ruled that the New York Police Department’s “stop-and-frisk” practices are unconstitutional, amounting to a “selective enforcement of the law based on considerations of race” that fell disproportionately upon the city’s black and Latino population. Critics said police practices were little more than racial profiling, but New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg was enraged. “I worry for my kids and I worry for your kids. I worry for you and I worry for me,” Bloomberg said. “Crime can come back any time the criminals think they can get away with things. We just cannot let that happen.” Is stop-and-frisk intolerable or indispensable? Columnists Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk debate.
JOEL MATHIS
Defenders of stop-and-frisk policing generally offer two defenses of the practice. First, it’s effective. Second, if it seems discriminatory, it’s only because crime is concentrated in minority communities. U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin’s ruling this week, however, demolishes both those rationales. Effective? Who would know? Joel Mathis, As Scheindlin joelmmathis@ pointed out, the gmail.com, is a NYPD’s methwriter in od for tracking Philadelphia. stop-and-frisk encounters is deeply flawed — in many cases, officers don’t even turn in the required paperwork. The department, she wrote, “has hindered the collection of accurate data concerning the constitutionality of its stops, and made no effective use of the limited data that is available.” The available data is damning. Yes, stop-and-frisk encounters happen far more often with blacks and Latinos than with whites
JOEL MATHIS
— but out of 4.4 million stops, just 6 percent resulted in an arrest. Another 6 percent resulted in summonses for civil violations that fell short of even misdemeanor criminal activity. Eighty-eight percent resulted in no further action. That 12 percent hit rate — a generous estimate, incidentally — is fine if you’re searching for needles in haystacks; it’s unacceptably low when officers are supposed to have “reasonable suspicion” for making a stop. As for the idea that police are concentrating their activity where crime happens, Scheindlin found that even after adjusting for crime rates, stop-and-frisk disproportionately occurred in minority communities — usually with less justification. Bottom line: Stop-and-frisk is ineffective and discriminatory. Writer Ta-Nahesi Coates recently responded to those who suggest black men should bear the burden of stop-and-frisk because of criminality among African-Americans. “They hold that neither I, nor my 12-year-old son, nor any of my nephews, nor any of my male family members deserve to be judged as individuals by the state,” he wrote. “Instead we must be seen as members of a class more inclined to criminality. It does not matter that the vast, vast majority of black men commit no violent crime at all.” That’s not an intrusion most of us would bear. It’s frankly un-American. Simple fairness — and the Constitution — shouldn’t let us impose that burden on others.
BEN BOYCHUK
Contrary to critics’ claims, stopand-frisk is indeed an effective crime deterrent. If Judge Scheindlin’s decision holds up, New Yorkers will soon discover just how effective it was. Understand exactly what Scheindlin ruled in the class-action lawsuit against the NYPD policy: Of 19 egregious stops cited in a case covering eight years, the judge determined 14 of them were unconstitutional. Sounds like a lot of abuse until you learn that the NYPD conducted 4.4 million stops over the same period. The judge, therefore, voided an en-
tire program because 0.0000031 percent of stops between 2004 and 2012 violated individuals’ rights. Even one violation is too many, you say. Maybe so. But civil libertarians sometimes forget what government exists to do: protect life and property. Murder, rape and robbery deprive people of their rights, too, in the worst ways possible. Stop-and-frisk has been an integral part of a broader strategy to slash crime dramatically in the Big Apple. Major felonies fell 31 percent from 2001 to 2012. There were 414 murders in New York last year, the lowest total since 1963. It’s true that the vast majority of black and Hispanic men commit no violent crimes. But it’s also true that blacks and Hispanics commit nearly 99 percent of all violent crimes in New York City’s 88th Precinct, where the class-action suit originated, and more than 93 percent of crimes in the city. Reality didn’t seem to matter to Scheindlin, who selectively highlighted supposed racial disparities in stops while downplaying actual crime demographics. The implication, as City Journal’s Heather Mac Donald points out, is that while “whites and Asians commit less than 1 percent of violent Ben Boychuk, crime in the 88th bboychuk@cityPrecinct and less journal.org, is than 6 percent associate editor of of all crime, they City Journal. should make up 40 percent of all stops — to match their representation in the local population.” Ridiculous. Scheindlin now wants federal oversight of the NYPD. The upshot of her decision will leave police spending more time checking boxes than fighting crime. When felonies surge, don’t be surprised that poor and minority neighborhoods — like New York’s 88th Precinct — fare the worst.

Football safety needs reform One thing I like about newspapers is that contrasts and connections among adjacent articles often seem more striking than they do on the Internet. For example, the July 31 edition of USA Today carried three articles appropriate to late summer, when millions of men and boys don football pads and helmets and return to the playing fields. The lead article on the sports page reports on efforts to make football safer. John M. Crisp teaches English at For instance, the Del Mar College Guardian Cap is in Corpus Christi, a polyethylene, Texas. His column foam-padded is distributed by shell, resemScripps Howard News Service. Email bling a turtle’s carapace, that fits him at jcrisp@ snugly over an delmar.edu. ordinary football helmet. According to its founder, Lee Hanson, the device reduces head impacts in lab tests by up to 33 percent. His firm has sold 8,000 Guardian Caps so far, to clients including the University of South Carolina, Clemson and Mississippi State. Other safety innovations are more high-tech. Riddell, which supplies the NFL, is developing a helmet with built-in sensors that record impact
JOHN CRISP
levels and transmit data to hand-held receivers on the sidelines. Software creates a history of the frequency and intensity of impacts for each player. Reebok has developed a system called CheckLight, which includes an impact sensor and an LED light that attaches to the helmet and flashes yellow and red to indicate the level of impact to coaches and trainers. I’ll assume the good faith of these efforts to produce a safer game in response to the recent wave of reports on the long-term effects on football players of too many hits to the head. And certainly reducing the level and frequency of those hits is probably a good thing. But we should be wary of technical solutions and rules changes that appear to make the game safer while only tinkering at the edges of a larger problem, one that probably can’t be resolved: Football by definition is a violent game whose popularity depends largely on the public’s appetite for brutal collisions. Even the players often resist efforts to make the game safer. An adjacent story in the same issue of USA Today reports on the new NFL rule that prohibits players from leading with the crowns of their helmets when making initial contact with an opponent. The worthy goal is to reduce head and neck injuries. But the ambivalence connected to the rule is interesting. One team, the Cincinnati Bengals, voted against the new rule, and, in any case, the rule applies only to plays that are outside
the tackle box and more than three yards downfield. Some players say that they will do their best to comply, but others object to turning our great American game into a mild match of touch football. We might as well play soccer! In the face of the brutal fact that many people involved with modern football — players, coaches, fans — are determined to maintain the violent spirit of the game, modest efforts to make it safer are unlikely to have much effect, and they may have the unintended consequence of giving players and parents of young players a false sense of security in what is still a dangerous game. Which brings us to the third USA Today story, on the page following the first two: Rutgers is retiring the jersey — No. 52 — of Eric LeGrand, a former player who was paralyzed from the neck down during an Oct. 16 game against Army. Safer equipment or better rules would not have prevented LeGrand’s injury. Nor would they have helped De’Antre Turman, a 16-year-old cornerback who died of a broken neck last Friday in Georgia. Death or paralysis could be called a tragedy, but according to the doctrines of American football, they’re merely collateral damage in a game that’s very hard on necks and knees and brains. Likely the carnage will continue until real reform begins at the bottom, when parents begin to prevent their sons from starting down that dangerous path in the first place.

Wireless Made Simple Since it opened its doors in Nov. 2004, Wireless Made Simple has provided Centre County residents with a local, alternative cellular company option with unrivaled customer service and support. Eric Bruckner, the store’s owner, said what Wireless Made Simple offers customers is something big corporate stores can’t compete with. “Our main advantage is definitely the customer service and support. The problem you run into with pretty much any corporate store is when you get there, you have to sign in, take a number and wait until your number is called,” he said. “It’s not like that with us at all. We have a no-wait guarantee. We are less expensive and much faster.” With this no-wait guarantee comes the highest level of expertise. A tech manager of seven years, a store manager of five years and a sales rep of two years allows Wireless Made Simple to prove customers with the best possible service. “It’s the same faces when you come back. You don’t wait. We go over things with you. We explain things to you. You leave there with a smile on your face, having had a good experience versus being rushed in and rushed out and you leave with a product you don’t know much about,” Bruckner said. Though the quality of customer service and support has stayed the same, other aspects of the store have changed over the years. Wireless Made Simple started off as a multi-carrier, but went exclusively Verizon almost two years ago.
Now the business sells every product Verizon offers including Apple iPhones and iPads and Android merchandise. “Back when we were a multi-carrier, we didn’t have certain things that Verizon offered. We didn’t have Apple products. We didn’t have the ability to do certain things. About a year ago, that all changed,” Bruckner said. “We have every single product now from Apple to Motorola to Android. I mean every product from every carrier we now have and usually at better prices than going to a corporate store.” Originally, Wireless Made Simple only supported local businesses from the office. Now, the store is ‘on the road’ in most of Central Pennsylvania, providing businesses, school districts and governmental offices with more options. Wireless Made Simple even has a Mini Cooper fea-

Ag Progress Days draws large crowds to Rock Springs By SAM STITZER
pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
ROCK SPRINGS — Ag Progress Days, Pennsylvania’s largest outdoor agricultural exposition, was held Aug. 13-15 at the Russell E. Larson Agriculture Research Center at Rock Springs, west of Pine Grove Mills on State Route 45. The event featured the latest technology and research exhibits, educational programs, seminars, guided tours and hundreds of vendors. The exposition is in its 38th year at this established site and is sponsored by the Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences. The 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 features more than 80 acres for crops and machinery demonstrations as well as 55 acres for indoor and outdoor exhibits. Show manager Bob Oberheim said that more than 42,000 people were expected to attend. In the equine arena, the Pennsylvania State Police demonstrated their horse-mounted team of officers. This group is used mainly for crowd and riot control. About 15 people were recruited from the audience to serve as the “unruly crowd” for the demonstration. On command, the horses carried their riders slowly toward the crowd members, who quickly dispersed, showing the effectiveness of the equine team.
Under the canopy of some large trees on the southeast corner of the grounds, Penn State professor of arboriculture Jim Savage was conducting a tree climb for kids. Savage and several student assistants helped strap the youngsters into arborist’s harnesses, and showed them how to pull themselves up a rope attached to a high tree branch. The kids went up about 15 feet, where they rang a bell, and then were lowered to the ground by the assistants. Some went up very slowly, and others went up quickly, but all came down smiling. “We do 1,800 to 2,000 kids in three days,” said Savage. He noted that the harnesses used can accommodate everyone from small children to adults. “We had an 82-year-old farmer do it once,” he said. He said that the purpose of the tree climbing event is twofold: to show kids that they are capable of doing something hard, and to show them that being an arborist might be a career choice for them. “I’ve worked with inner city kids in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia who have never been told they can do anything. I tell them, ‘you can do this — you’re going to do this,’ and when they ring that bell, they realize they’ve accomplished something hard,” Savage said. Savage praised his assistant, Charlie Yeager, a retired 45-year veteran of working in line clearance for electric power companies. “Charlie’s a cool personality,”
SAM STITZER/For The Gazette
STREETS OF THE Rock Springs site were crowded with thousands of visitors. Savage said, “a great guy.” Savage was impressed by Yeager’s ability to instill confidence in the children climbing the ropes. In the equipment display area, there were several rows of state-of-the-art tractors and implements on display, as well as a group of antique tractors.
This display really highlighted the name Ag Progress, since it showed how far agricultural technology has advanced over the years. The Pasto Agricultural Museum on the grounds also underscored this feeling of progress with its displays of horse-drawn antique equipment.
A hay bailing machine on display used a horse treadmill for power, and an 1840s vintage Lovell washing machine even used a dog treadmill. A woman counting visitors at the door said that 2,287 people entered the museum on Wednesday, and about 1,400 had visited the day before.
Quilt Guild schedules event in Nittany mall From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — The Centre Pieces Quilt Guild will be at the Nittany Mall, in the JC Penney hallway, on Aug. 31. The public is invited to come to the mall and learn more about the guild and the ways in which it interacts with the community.

CHILDREN PLAY at last year’s picnic prior to the blessing of the backpacks.
Proceeds from the raffle benefit the education fund of the guild and a portion will be donated to the local food bank. In April 1983, Centre Pieces Quilt Guild became a chapter of the National Quilting Association, with the purpose of promoting a full appreciation of quilts and quilting through sharing, teaching and fellowship. Meetings are held monthly from March through December, and a number of smaller groups of quilters meet on a weekly or monthly basis.

NORTHWEST SAVINGS BANK recently provided Housing Transitions with a $10,000 donation to fund annual operating costs. , Northwest’s Donna Holmes presented the check to Housing Transitions’ board president Lam Hood.
PRESLEY HABOVICK, 4, of Zion, recently donated her hair to Pantene’s Beautiful Lengths program. Habovick’s aunt, Hannah Martin of Milesburg, was diagnosed with cancer four years ago and has had two surgeries and follow-ups with radiation. After Martin went through her first surgery, she decided to let her hair grow so she could donate it to another cancer survivor. After four years, her hair was finally long enough to donate. When Habovick found out about the program, she wanted to be like her aunt and had her hair cut for the Pantene program. Beautiful Lengths is a partnership between Pantene and the American Cancer Society. So far, Pantene has donated 24,000 free real-hair wigs to the American Cancer Society’s wig banks, which then distribute the wigs to cancer patients across the country. Habovick is the daughter of Jessica and Brian Habovick.

International guests join locals to bring Pa. heritage to life From Gazette staff reports BOALSBURG — One year, a classical guitarist came from Spain just to play at this annual event. Another year, a couple came all the way from France to attend. Guests from up and down the east coast and from as far away as California regularly visit. But this isn’t some well-publicized Penn State event that is attracting so much international attention. Instead, it’s the Boalsburg Heritage Festival, a weekend celebrating many generations of American heritage in Boalsburg, as well as a unique local connection with Christopher Columbus. And yet, many local people are unaware of it. “In previous years, the Boalsburg Heritage weekend has competed with Penn State’s homecoming activities, but not so this year,” says Christopher Lee, president of the Boalsburg Village Conservancy, which is sponsoring the weekend. This year, event organizers are rescheduling to the weekend of Oct. 5, when the Penn State football team is away, so locals are free to join the international guests. The weekend begins with the Columbus Ball at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 5 at the Boal Mansion. “Those who attend have been raving about this event for decades, saying it’s the best party they’ve been to in their lives,” says Lee. Guests sip champagne, enjoy abundant hors d’oeuvres from local restaurants – enough to constitute dinner– and contra-dance to the music of Bruce Young’s combo, Smashing Windows. The evening event benefits historic preservation and

celebrates Boalsburg’s unique-in-the-nation connection with Christopher Columbus. The famous explorer is an ancestor of the Boal family and the Columbus Chapel, including the admiral’s desk that belonged to Columbus, were inherited by the Boal family and imported to Boalsburg from Spain in 1909. In the middle of the evening, chairs will be set up in the ballroom and a parade of historical characters will present the local heritage and its national and international connections. “We think it’s important to make people aware of the community’s rich historical heritage,” says Lee. “BBCTV came and filmed and broadcast the Boalsburg story throughout England. They thought it was interesting. We think local people should know about it too. The heritage gives our people a positive sense of community identity, something much needed locally these days.” Lee’s cousin Alan Boal, a retired broadcaster from Pittsburgh, will don pioneer garb to portray the pioneer David Boal (1764-1837), whose 1804 tavern served as the nucleus for the village of Boalsburg when it was founded in 1809. Another cousin, John Irvin Thompson IV, a local keyboardist known as JT Blues, will portray his ancestor Moses Thompson (1810-1891), a founder of Penn State and owner of the Centre Furnace Mansion. Lee himself will narrate the pageant of historical characters and portray his great-grandfather Theodore Davis Boal (1867-1938), the founder of the Boal Troop and the 28th Division Shrine in the World War I era. Musician Bruce Young will don 15th-century period dress to portray

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS left, portrayed by folklorist Bruce Young, of State College, will appear at the Columbus Ball and the Boalsburg Birthday Heritage Festival in Boalsburg.
Christopher Columbus (1451-1506). Other guests will portray a diverse array of historical characters included signer of the Declaration of Independence Richard Henry Lee (1732-1794) and beloved Boalsburg historian Ruth Corter (1907-1997). On Sunday, the characters will assemble again in the village square for the free Boalsburg Heritage Festival between noon and 4 p.m. Joining them will be local musicians John “JT Blues” Thompson, harmonica virtuoso Richard Sleigh, and traditional American guitarist and violinist Bruce Young. The Sunday afternoon festival will also include crafts booths and tables displaying local heritage. The weekend concludes Monday morning with a religious service in the Columbus Chapel served by the Knights of Columbus. Due to the limited space in the 16th century chapel, the religious service is by invitation, but persons interested in attending can contact the Boal Museum for information.

PAWS ADOPT-A-PET Dalevue, a white and grey middle-aged male, and Ariel, a young tortie female, would be perfect for a family who is looking to welcome not one but two cats into their home. Dalevue and Ariel are a bonded pair and must be adopted together; they became inseparable when Dalevue took Ariel under his wing soon after she came to PAWS as a scared little kitten. A home with other cats and older children, but no dogs, would be fine for both Dalevue and Ariel. You can read more about this charming pair at www.centrecountypaws.org/cats/ or visit them in person at PAWS, 1401 Trout Road in State College. Both have a guardian angel, meaning their adoption fees have already been paid for as a gift to their future forever family.

Girl Scouts complete Senior Journey Project From Gazette staff reports PLEASANT GAP — Four girls from Senior Girl Scout Troop 41578 teamed with a local business, the Village Eatinghouse, to complete their Senior Journey project, “Sow What,� in Pleasant Gap. The goal of the project is to help girls develop leadership skills and confidence to create lasting change. It helps them look at land use and food issues and culminates with the completion of a project they choose based on what they have learned. Amber Sherretz, Jessica Barnyak, Rachel Eirmann and Rhea Wall worked with Melanie and Clay Phillips of the Village Eatinghouse to learn how to reduce their
carbon footprint. Some activities leading up to their final project included attending Ag Progress Days in Rock Springs, participating in a tour of Penn State’s recycling program, and working with a Penn State Extension master gardener on how to create and maintain a composting center. Once all the activities were completed, the girls researched what would be the best composting center, presented their idea to the Phillips, purchased the items, installed the composter and began the process of stirring in the materials. The hope is that the composted material will be used in the vegetable beds at the Village Eatinghouse and continue the cycle.
Lane restrictions announced as PSU students return By STEVE BAUER StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — It’s time once again for a flood of Penn State Students to rush back into State College. Classes resume Aug. 26. Anticipating some big crowds, the State College Police Department has declared Friday, Aug. 23, and Saturday, Aug. 24, Penn State Student Return Days. Thousands of students and their parents will be returning to town in cars, vans and trucks, bursting with beds, couches, clothes and whatever other gear college students will be cramming into their
dorms and apartment buildings. And that means there will be thousands of people in cars, vans and trucks all looking for places to park. Police hope to keep the log jam to a minimum. In an effort to minimize unloading problems, State College police will be closing one travel lane in the 600 block of East College Avenue between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. You should expect at least some minor traffic delays on East College Avenue between South Garner Street and University Drive due to students moving in and the high volume of traffic.

Legendary event kicks off Aug. 22 By SAMI HULINGS
shulings@centrecountygazette.com
CENTRE HALL — Family, tradition, community and celebration will all come together to create the 139th Centre County Grange Encampment and Fair, the nation’s most unique county fair, Aug. 22-29. Known as a “city within a town,” campers move into Grange Park in Centre Hall to live for the week. Tents, complete with porches, kitchens and TVs, are occupied. RVs are parked. Food and games vendor booths also have moved in for the week, which will be full of live entertainment and traditional fair competitions.
IF YOU GO WHAT: The Grange Fair WHERE: Grange Fairgrounds, Centre Hall WHEN: Aug. 22-29 MORE INFO: www.grangefair.net With fair preparation complete, general manager Darlene Confer said the fair committee, campers and concessionaires are ready for Thursday’s grand opening. Now it is time to celebrate all the Grange Fair has to offer. “As usual, we have a lot to offer people. Our fair is not only just concession and rides. It’s about family living and providing all sorts of entertainment and education items for children,” she said.
Though visitors will find all the traditional aspects of fairs and carnivals at the Grange Fair, they will also find unusual items like an on-site library, Zumba classes, Jazzercise and the legendary “minicity” tent community. “We are so much more than just a regular fair. That’s what makes the Centre County Grange Fair a great fair, not just a good fair,” Confer said. “Every year is special at Grange Fair. People like being a part of that specialty and being a part of the history.” To ensure the fair remains special, Confer said it is very important to have a wide variety of exhibits and acts that entertain and educate. “We want to stand out as being an exceptional fair. Part of our mission is education. By offering all of those sorts of items, it’s helping us to achieve that mission.” Educating and entertaining children plays a huge role in Grange Fair planning. “The children are our future, so we want them to be here, to have great experiences while they are here and to experience a lot of things,” Confer said. Stories of these experiences have made their way across the nation, as Confer was approached by women at the International Association of Fairs and Expositions national conference. Confer said the women immediately recognized the Grange Fair’s uniqueness, stressing that they had been waiting for her to come to the event. Encounters like this remind Confer just how special the fair is.

THE 139TH ANNUAL Grange Fair will be held in Centre Hall through Aug. 29. “I think sometimes we become so familiar with the experience year after year that we forget just how special they are to outsiders. I think sometimes when we are so familiar with something, we take it for granted,” she said. To make sure each visitor experiences the extraordinary aspects of the fair, Confer said the committee works hard to follow through with its mission of providing

tradition and education in a unique way. “I just think that it’s outstanding that we can be this fair that is educating our youth and even our adults, exposing them to new things, new ideas and new technologies,” she said. “It is something that you can hear about it, you can read about, but until you’ve come and actually experienced it, you can’t really imagine what it is really like.”
Roots of Grange Fair run deep By SAMI HULINGS
shulings@centrecountygazette.com
CENTRE HALL — Since 1874, the Centre County Grange Encampment and Fair has served as a celebration of family, community and tradition for the residents of Centre County. Though the fair has taken various forms and included changes and upgrades over the years, the mission of education, entertainment and fun has remained. Prior to the Civil War, agriculture served as the nation’s number one industry. As the war was fought on farm fields by farmers, the agriculture industry was decimated. After the war, President Andrew Johnson asked farmer Oliver Kelley to tour the South and come back with recommendations on how to revitalize that region’s agriculture. Kelley returned with the idea that farmers and rural families needed to have an organization to advocate for them. According to Grange Fair committee merchandise officer LeDon Young, Kelley joined with six other agriculturalists to create the Order of Patrons of Husbandry. “Grange” became the name used by local units of the organization. “All of the founders were Masons, so they thought a fraternal organization was needed, not a club, not a union, but a fraternal organization to which you pledged loyalty, not just something you paid dues to,” said Young. Leonard Rhone, a farmer who lived four miles outside of Centre County, heard of the Patrons of Husbandry and

thought it would be ideal for Centre County. He founded the first local Grange, Progress Grange, in Centre Hall in 1874. Rhone later went on to form nine more Granges in Centre County. In September 1874, at a meeting of Progress Grange, Rhone suggested the organization gather the sister granges and have a ‘pic-nik,’ inviting everyone to come and learn of the Grange movement. That month, near Linden Hall, the Grangers’ event was held. It was such a success that Progress Grange appointed a committeeto make arrangements for it to be held again the next year. According to Young, during this time a Centre County Fair also was held sporadically at fairgrounds in Bellefonte, usually in October. Young said the third Grangers’ picnic was held in September at the Bellefonte fairgrounds. From then on the picnic was held in various locations, including Hort Woods on the campus of what was then the Pennsylvania State College. “The state college was in trouble. It was in disarray, but Leonard Rhone and other members of the grange felt that it should be preserved and it should stay in Centre County,” Young said. To aid the school, Rhone held a picnic on the campus and asked its president, George Atherton, to serve as the main speaker. The tradition of the picnic continued throughout the years. Around 1888, when the picnic was on top of the

Centre Hall mountain, people began bringing tents. “The tents were so popular that the committee on the picnic decided that they needed to have a campground. So 1890 is the first purchase of 20 acres. It is the new place of what is today the fairgrounds,” Young said. The popularity of the picnic continued to grow, calling for headquarters and exhibit buildings to be built at Grange Park. In 1898, a telephone was installed in the headquarters. By 1900, more than 200 tents were used by campers. Fireworks, bands and baseball games also became important parts of the event. Roots, Page 18

Roots, from page 17 But, Young said, when the Centre County Fair ceased to exist sometime around 1914, the Grange Encampment assumed the Centre County Fair. “About that time it is designated as the ‘Grange Encampment and Centre County Fair,’” she said. In 1916 electricity came to Grange Park. Campers and vendors could pay $1 for a light bulb for their tents. Cook stoves were also installed behind every fourth tent. “For many people, that was their first experience with electric light,” Young said. “Grange has always been about technology. It was the idea of bringing the best of farm, field, orchard, dairy and home to put on display so that others could learn.” In addition to education and technology, the Grange Encampment and Centre County Fair continued its focus on family. “Leonard Rhone always wanted the picnic to be an affordable vacation for families. They could come and stay in a tent. Momma could cook and feed you,” Young said. “They could visit and play, but you didn’t have to spend a lot of money. You got an inexpensive vacation.” In 1917, Rhone passed away, leaving the local Granges to elect members to serve on a planning committee. In 1922, the committee decided to begin charging for fair entrance. A gate was built and the grounds were fenced in. During the 1930s, a new exhibit building was built. More and more vendors came. Silent movies and Grange plays became integral parts of the fair’s entertainment. The 1940s saw the creation of wooden bleachers, a platform for a stage and grandstands. Young said large displays of farm equipment became very popular. More than 400 tents were used by campers. In the 1950s, there was a huge increase of people attending the fair in cars. In 1957, a second gate, currently known as Gate 1, was built. The fair playground was refurbished and the fair began featuring country music as entertainment.

Young said the 1960s brought concessionaires who converted buses and vans into living quarters to go from fair to fair. The Winnebago became popular. During the 1970s, the number of camper tents increased. Uniformity with 14- by 14-feet tents started. A new proper stage was built in 1978. More exhibit buildings were built. “It just became such a tradition. People just want to experience this life. They might not want to go out and camp on a regular basis, but the opportunity to be here at the Centre County Grange Fair living in a tent is very sought after,” said fair general manager Darlene Confer. In 1985, more grounds were purchased to increase the fairgrounds to 212 acres. A new gate, a horse range and the tractor pull area were also built in 1985. The 1990s brought more updates to the fair with the conversion to flush toilets. The late ‘90s also brought young country acts to the fair, with Garth Brooks appearing in 1998. In 1999, a 108-stall barn was built. Young said the 2000s have brought with them the fair’s dedication to youth. A youth advisory committee has created the singing contest “Grange Fair Idol,” another contest where visitors submit cell phone pictures of the fair, and a fair queen contest. “We are trying to involve youth in not only ideas that are exciting about the fair, but let them be part of the fair,” she said. In 2010, 59 more acres were purchased, bring the fairgrounds to 266 acres and making it the largest fairgrounds in the state. With the help of a grant from the state, a $1.1 million covered equine area was built in 2011. “We are now one of the premiere equine areas in the state. Pennsylvania has a bigger horse industry than Kentucky. It’s worth $1.3 billion to the commonwealth. Grange felt that it would be ideal for us to participate in that industry and it would keep our fair involved with agriculture,” Young said. For the 2013 Centre County Grange Encampment and Fair, there will be 1,000 tents, 1,500 RVs, 300 concessions, two ride vendors and more than 8,000 items on exhibit. “We anticipate over 200,000 people will walk through our gate,” Young said. In addition to the increased involvement, the fair’s budget has continued to grow since it began 139 years ago. Young said in 1890 the fair’s budget was slightly less than $1,000. The 2013 budget is $2.2 million, with payroll alone exceeding $500,000. The continued growth of the fair allowed it to put $1.8 million back into the local economy in 2012. The fair’s appeal and family atmosphere has allowed for this growth.

THERE WILL BE plenty of fruits and vegetables on display at the 139th Grange Encampment and Fair, which is being held through Aug. 29 at the Grange Fairgrounds.
“There’s no doubt in my mind, those are people you may only see once a year, but you are with them eight or 10 days. You are vacationing together every year. You see some of your family members. Kids grow up together and then they get married and have children. They come back and then the next generation does the same thing,” Confer said. Young agreed, saying many feel as though the fair is like a home to them. “You come home to see everybody. It’s a family reunion for all of Centre County. Everyone welcomes you. You are back home,” she said “As soon as you come to the fair you are made to feel welcome. You are made to feel that you belong here. As you walk back those tent rows and you see families, it makes you feel that indeed there is the continuing.”

The Grange Fair links generations together attendees. Other picnic sites over the years included Centre County Fairgrounds, Bellefonte, Mount Nittany, Centre Hall Mountain, Old Fort Woods, Centre Hall and, finally, in 1890, the Grange Park. The Grange movement itself was fairly new at the time of the first picnic, with the organization of the farmers’ group the Patrons of Husbandry, and the designation of the word “Grange” as the formal name for local units, having taken place in 1867. The purpose of the Grange was to give farmers a chance to come together to decide community matters, to solve their mutual problems and to seek better management of their farms. Farmers formed cooperatives to buy in bulk and keep prices lower for seeds and other needs. The Grange provided a source of friendship and cooperation, and was instrumental in helping to rebuild farms and spirits after the devastation of the Civil War, especially in the South, but also in the North and West. Fair patrons and campers were mostly farmers from the Centre County area in the following years. As more activities and attendance grew, it became necessary to add permanent buildings. The auditorium that the fair committee ordered built is now known as the Commercial Building. Stables were added, and by 1910 there were 200 tents with wooden floors on the fairgrounds. The tents each contained a table, a bench and a bunk. The fair provided straw if you brought your own tick.
CENTRE HALL — Leonard Rhone was instrumental in the Grange movement in Centre County and made the motion to have the local Granges come together for a “Grange Picnic” in 1874. He would have been astonished to see what evolved from that first picnic. Rhone was master of Pomona Grange and Progress Grange and went on to become the state master for 18 years. When doing some research about the Grange Fair, it was suggested I speak with Norman Lathbury. His book, “Centre County Connie Cousins Grange Encampment covers Centre and Fair, A History of County for the Master Rhone’s PicCentre County Gazette. Email her nic,” published in at correspondent@ 1999, was very helpcentrecountgazette. ful. Lathbury retired com in 2012 as coordinator of Centre County Land Preservation Board. His family is still camping at the Grange Fair. The first Grange Picnic, held in Leech’s Woods, near Centre Hall, was a huge success according to the Centre Reporter from Sept. 24, 1874. The picnic counted 3,000
CONNIE COUSINS
Today, the parade of tents and recreational vehicles stretches for miles on the move-in days and is facilitated by assigning days and times to set up camp. If you have never seen the site of Centre County’s Grange Fair, you would have a difficult time imagining 1,000 tents and 1,500 recreational vehicles on one fairground. I was stunned at my first sight of the long rows of tents set out in streets like a village and completely furnished with sofas, tables, refrigerators and other creature comforts. I find it fascinating that people go to such lengths to hold what amount to huge family reunions. Many families today have given up on reunions as family members have died and their children are scattered over the United States and beyond. Yet, here in Centre County, people have returned to the Grange Fair their entire lives and have inherited the sites from generations before them. Entire families plan their vacations around the fair. “We were fortunate to get our spot at Grange Fair,” said Lathbury. “After a death, the site goes to family and only after they decline, to the next person on the list.” There is a long waiting list of people desiring a site. He said he would move in on Aug. 18, the earliest day when campers can set up kitchens and porches. The memories of “fairs gone by” are varied and yet similar in many cases. One family said that it was the staying up late and the “curfew” time that they remember.
Card games, pranks, “just sittin’ around” and eating topped the list of answers I received to my “What do you remember?” question. Some campers look at the Grange Fair as time away. “It’s our vacation and we look forward to it,” said Linda Heverly, pastoral administrative assistant/office manager at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in State College. “I remember my grandparents loading up the car, tying everything down and heading for the fair. After they got the tent, I was there with them every summer. My mother was more of a city girl and not as crazy for the Grange Fair, but I loved it,” Heverly said. According to Heverly, her grandparents occupied two sites and got the present one, which is now hers, in the late 1960s. Now, her children and grandchildren join her and her husband at the fair. Two years ago her grandson was the “Baby King.” She said she will always remember Dot Delaney waking everyone in the morning saying “get your coffee pots started” over the PA system. Heverly has entered nearly every home and garden category over the years at Grange Fair. She has displayed her crocheting, clothing pieces, needlework, vegetables, flowers and baked goods at various times. “I started as a teenager,” she said. “It’s all part of the experience that is Grange Fair.”

Tenters move into 139th Grange Fair By SAM STITZER
pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
CENTRE HALL — The 139th annual Grange Fair began this week at Grange Park in Centre Hall. Aug. 18 was the first day for campers, food vendors and others to set up before the official opening on Aug. 22. In the tent area, the rows were lined with pickup trucks, and the sound of hammers hitting metal stakes could be heard as tenters assembled front porches and rear kitchens for their tents. These structures are mostly wood or metal tube framed, with plastic tarps for covering, but some more elaborate designs use solid plywood walls and roofs, adding a second bedroom to the tents. In the North 7 block of tenters, Dave
Grubb of Millheim already had his porch assembled and was moving beds into the tent on Sunday afternoon. Grubb said he has tented at the fair since birth. His parents, Chuck and Deb Grubb, had the tent before him. His grandmother, Roseanne Harrier, had originally acquired the tent space in the 1950s. Grubb’s nephew, Ken Grubb Jr., and friends Jeff Smith and Nate Bowersox were assisting Grubb with the setup and moving in chores. Grubb’s fiancée, Amanda Unangst, is attending the fair for the first time with him. “She’ll learn what the fair’s all about,” said Grubb. Another longtime tenter, Phil Hosterman from Centre Hall, was setting up furniture in his tent just west of the grandstand. Hosterman said his family has been tenting there since 1952.

“We moved in on a Friday night,” he said, remembering the 1952 fair. “Some other people were in our tent, but Bertha Sharer (fair manager at the time) told them to get out so we could use it.” Hosterman likes the location of his family’s tent, due to its proximity to the grandstand. “We’re close to the shows and the pa-
rade runs right by here,” said Hosterman. Fairgrounds general manager Darlene Confer said there are nearly 1,000 tents and 1,500 recreational vehicles camping at the fair this year. “We also have 17 new tent sites,” said Confer. The new sites are located in a new row on the southern edge of the tenting area.

Looking back at Keystone’s magical run By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH
sports@centrecountygazette.com
WILLIAMSPORT — For one magical week back in August of 2011, a bunch of 11- and 12-year-old Little Leaguers from just outside of Lock Haven captured the imagination of sports fans in central Pennsylvania and around the country — if not the world. The Keystone Little League team, located less than a half-hour from the site of the Little League World Series in South Williamsport, battled its way to the Pennsylvania state championship, through the Mid-Atlantic Regional Championships held in Connecticut, and into 2011 Little League World Series. The Keystone players became the sensations of the tournament. They played five intense games in front of what could only be called a raucous home-town crowd unashamedly rooting for its team. They lost their first game, 1-0, fought through the loser’s bracket with three consecutive victories, and were on the doorstep of playing for the American Championship when they fell to the eventual World Champion from Huntington Beach, California, 2-0. Keystone finished that season 21-3. It won the state championship, Mid-Atlantic regional championship, made it to the American semi-finals, and finished as one of the top six teams in the world. In the five games at the World Series, Keystone played before a total of more than 160,000 people. The 42,000 people who packed Lamade Stadium for the opening night game against North Oldham, Kentucky, comprised the largest crowd in Little League World Series history. It was also the second-biggest crowd to watch a baseball game that night, behind only the sellout at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. I had the good fortune to be at the World Series for all of the Keystone games, covering them as a reporter for the Centre Daily Times, and when I saw a 2013 game on TV last night, I thought it would be fun to look back on that year and those kids from Beech Creek. After sweeping through the Mid-Atlan-
tic regionals, the Keystone players arrived home to a parade, signs of support along the roads, and rising excitement about their upcoming opener in the World Series. That first game was on Friday, Aug. 19, and the bank behind the outfield wall at Lamade Stadium began filling up three hours before the scheduled start of the Keystone-North Oldham contest. By the time the game began, there wasn’t a spot to be had, and tournament officials estimated the crowd to be 42,000. Many people who were there, including those in the press corps, thought that number should have been much higher. To the dismay of all those Keystone fans, the game was dominated by North Oldham pitcher Griffin McClarty, who not only pitched a 12-strikeout, complete game shutout, but accounted for the only run in the game with a first-inning home run. Keystone had its chances, but it ran into bad luck as North Oldham made two terrific defensive plays to nab runners at home plate. In the fifth, Keystone’s Wyatt Koch was thrown out trying to score on a ground out, and then in the sixth Tyler McCloskey was nailed trying to score on an overthrow at first base. “There’s no shame in losing a game 1-0,” Keystone coach Bill Garbrick said. “We had chances to score the tying run or even the winning run, but we didn’t get it done. But tomorrow is another day, and we’ll come out and play our game.” Now facing a much more difficult road through the loser’s bracket, Keystone did come out and play its game. In fact, the Mid-Atlantic champs did it three times in a row. Next up, on Saturday night with another giant crowd looking on, were the New England champs from Cumberland, Rhode Island. This time it was the Keystone pitchers who threw the shutout as Alex Garbrick (Bill’s son) and closer McCloskey combined to shut down New England, 2-0. Keystone scored a run in the first inning, and then gave McCloskey a big insurance run in the fifth inning on Koch’s RBI

IN 2011, the Keystone Little League team made a magical run to Williamsport. As a result, the Little League stadium drew Major League Baseball-sized crowds to the tiny field. single that McCloskey made stand up for the win. On Monday, it was Louisiana before an announced crowd of 29,000. This game, the Pennsylvania champs brought out their bats as they coasted, 10-0, in four innings against the Southwest champions. “They were definitely hitting the ball tonight,” coach Bill Garbrick said. “You could see it. They were seeing the ball well.” In what amounted to the American quarter-finals on Tuesday, Keystone survived with a thrilling, 7-5 victory over the Southeast champions from Warner Robins, Georgia. And they advanced again. Keystone gave up three runs early, took the lead back, and then held on through two major threats from Georgia to take home the win and advance to the next level against California. By this time, the Keystone run was front-page news in papers across the state and beyond. Lemade Stadium was mobbed again with 32,000 people for the Keystone-California showdown on Thursday evening. But just as in opening night, Keystone was silenced again by a premier pitcher—this time California’s Hagen Danner. Danner struck out 12 in five shutout innings and then gave way to closer Braydon Salzman in the 2-0 win that put the West champs into the American final against Montana.
Keystone had chances — it put runners in scoring position in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings—but Danner and Salzman were up to the challenges. “We are a good hitting team,” Bill Garbrick said after the loss, “and it takes a really, really good pitcher to hold us down. That’s what we saw tonight in Danner.” The loss eliminated Keystone, and sent California on its way to the World Series championship with victories over Montana and then Japan. For Keystone, the team’s accomplishments would not fully dawn on the players that night, but Garbrick knew that eventually they would. “There are some tears in there (the locker room),” he said, “but they will go away soon. They will realize what this experience meant, and they will get over this loss in a hurry. They always do.” After the series, the Keystone players were welcomed and congratulated around the state for their amazing march into the upper levels of the World Series. There were trips to Citizens Bank, Beaver Stadium, and PNC Park in Pittsburgh to name a few. In the two years since, no other Pennsylvania team has advanced to the World Series — or even come close — which is a testament to how difficult and impressive the performance by those Beech Creek kids really was.
Kelly’s new-look offense creates buzz in Philly PHILADELPHIA — Even before Chip Kelly’s revamped Philadelphia Eagles have been kicked out of the nest for the very first time in a regular season game — and after only two preseason games — there is already a loud and growing buzz about the team and its new-look offense. Most of that buzz centers on the play of the quarterbacks. Starting contenders Michael Vick and Nick Foles and third-string rookie Matt Barkley have so far run Kelly’s up-tempo offense very efficiently. Vick especially has been getting noticed. After a miserable season in 2012 in which he seemed just as likely to throw an inPat Rothdeutsch terception, get sacked, covers high school, or get injured as throw collegiate and a completion, people pro sports for The are saying now that he Centre County Galooks better than ever. zette. Email him at sports@centre Through the first countygazette.com. two pre-season games — a loss to the Patriots and a win over Carolina — the Eagles have run up over 400 yards of offense in each game. And Vick has been, well, very unVicklike. He’s completed a total of 13 of 15 passes for 199 yards and has thrown only one interception (on a Hail Mary at the end of the first half against Carolina). He looks more comfortable in the pocket and more decisive, and he is getting rid of the ball much quicker than last year when he had a tendency to hold it too long. He even sounds more confident, publicly thanking Kelly for coming in and making football fun again for him to play. Eagles’ offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur has seen it as well. “I’ve seen him
PAT ROTHDEUTSCH
(Vick) get better each day,” he said, “and he’s made comments that he feels comfortable out there on the field. So when he’s saying those type of things, it tells me that he’s understanding what he wants to get done based on what we are trying to do. So I think that’s good.” Foles is not far behind. Beginning last season as Vick’s backup, Foles moved into the starting role when Vick was injured and he was widely considered the front runner to take over as the starter this season. But Kelly was hired, and he threw open the position and has yet to decide on a starter—thus the spirited competition between the two this pre-season. Foles has been almost as efficient as Vick. He’s completed 11 of 14 passes for 77 yards so far and directed an almost flawless first touchdown drive against Carolina in his first start of the preseason. “I’m going to keep working,” Foles said about his competition with Vick. “My mindset stays the same, my work ethic stays the same, no matter what. I’ve always stayed the same and I’m going to keep doing that. I’m going to work as hard as I can, and my ultimate goal always is to play.” The Eagle quarterbacks seem to be benefitting from Kelly’s fast-moving offense. Rather than putting more of a burden on the quarterbacks, the offense actually simplifies things for them. Many of the plays are called with a single word, and the ball can go to five or even six different places from the same formation, depending on what the defense does. The quarterbacks react more than analyze, which seems to especially fit Vick’s style of play. The Eagles are also running the ball more, and more efficiently, than in Andy Reid’s west coast offense. Nothing opens up passing lanes better than a good running game, not to mention the saving of wear and tear on the quarterbacks.
MICHAEL PEREZ/The Associated Press
QUARTERBACK MICHAEL VICK and first-year head coach Chip Kelly talk shop during a preseason game. The much-maligned signal-caller has looked good in the Eagles’ new offense. So, are the Eagles back? Maybe, but long-time Eagles’ fans have seen this kind of early excitement before. They’ve only played two preseason games, and they’ve seen only basic defenses—not a lot of blitzing and not a lot of game planning to stop Kelly’s schemes. Even though the defense looked much better against Carolina, first-year defensive coordinator Bill Davis’ group looked more than a step behind against the Patriots. No matter how good the Eagles’ offense turns out to be, Philly is a cold-weather
town, and, especially going in November and December, the Eagles can’t expect to simply outscore teams. Preseason game No. 3 is on Saturday night at the Jaguars, and it will probably reveal more about the Eagles’ regular season plans on both sides of the ball than the final tune up against the Jets on Aug. 29. If the team can keep putting up big yards — and finish off drives — and if the defense continues to improve, expect the noise in Philadelphia to continue to get louder.

As camp winds down, O’Brien sounds off By BEN JONES
StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — With just over a week until Penn State’s season opening game against the Syracuse Orange, head coach Bill O’Brien spoke with the media about many of the issues surrounding the team. Even with quarterback questions making the most of the noise Thursday afternoon, there were plenty of other topics to talk about.
INJURIES:
“Right now, I would say the health is decent. There are some bumps and bruises. I think you guys know about Ben Kline and Brent Wilkerson. Brent Wilkerson is out, DaeSean Hamilton is out, and Ben Kline is day-to-day.”
ON BEN KLINE’S FUTURE:
“I believe he’ll be ready to go. We have to do a great job of managing that. That’s a shoulder injury that maybe we have to put a harness on him. He’s a tough kid. You want guys like Ben Kline on your football team. He’s a smart, tough kid. I think he’ll be ready to go.”
WILL ADAM BRENEMAN PLAY THIS YEAR?
“Oh yeah, Breneman will definitely play. He’s had a good camp. We have four tight ends, all of those guys have played well: Jesse James, Matt Lehman has had a good camp, Kyle Carter has been his usual self, and Adam Breneman has had a good camp. Smart player, tough kid, good hands, he can run. He’ll be playing.”
HOW DO YOU PRACTICE FOR FOURTH DOWN?
“I’m not going to tell you that. That’s a great question, but we don’t just slap it out there on Saturdays on fourth down. We try to practice what we expect to do in that situation or those situations. We try to get
the kids prepared for all kinds of situations and fourth down is definitely one of them.
GETTING TO SCRIMMAGE IN BEAVER STADIUM:
“It was the second time that we went into Beaver Stadium. We got a lot out of it. The kids did a great job of practicing the way we wanted them to practice. We had a gameday setup there. We had headphones, coaches in the press box, we had officials there. We played some situational football, we scrimmaged, we moved the ball, we got in the red area, we did two minutes, we had third down, fourth down situations, we did all of the special teams.” “It was very, very beneficial. The big thing is, it’s important, especially for our young players who have never played in that stadium to get in there, even if there’s no crowd there, to just get a feel for it. This is not just a stadium; this is a cathedral. “This is a very, very famous place in the history of college football. It was pretty cool. One of the things we do at the end of the scrimmage is, we have what I call a developmental scrimmage. We take a lot of our younger players, many of our runons, and we let them play. We let them go out there and play. The officials officiated. What was neat about that was there were a lot of Pennsylvania guys in that scrimmage, playing in Beaver Stadium. I bet they were pretty excited about that.”
BRANDON FELDER’S ROLE IN THE OFFENSE:
“Brandon has had a good training camp. He made some really nice catches yesterday in our scrimmage. I’ve always said Brandon Felder is a really smooth route runner, he’s a really important part of our offense. He’ll be in there quite a bit. Last year, he made some big catches for us. “I think he likes his role, he’s embraced his role and he’s doing a nice job. He just graduated. Him and Matt Lehman graduated last weekend (participated in Com-

That’s unbelievable; we had two guys in the middle of training camp that graduated from Penn State.”
MIKE HULL STEPPING INTO A KEY LINEBACKER ROLE:
“Mike Hull is one of the best football players on our team. He’s a fast guy, he’s a
tough guy, he’s strong, he’s got really good playing strength, he plays the run well, he’s a good cover linebacker, he’s a leader. He’s a guy that means a lot to our football team. “He didn’t play a whole lot last year. He played, but not as much as you would think of a guy like that because of who he backed up. He was backing up two NFL players. He’s going to play a lot of ball for us this year and he’s had a really good training camp.”

20TH ANNUAL GERI REEVE OPEN AT PENN STATE
The 20th annual Geri Reeve Open Golf Tournament will be held on Sept. 9 on the Penn State Blue and White Courses. The 19 previous annual events have generated over $287,000 to support Centre County Breast Cancer Coalition and the American Cancer Society. “The 20th annual Geri Reeve Open Golf Tournament will be a day of celebration for breast cancer survivors, a time to remember our loved ones who have suffered through this disease and a day to bring hope for everyone that one day a cure may be found,” explained Geri Reeve, the inspiration behind the tournament. “The Geri Reeve Open Golf Tournament Committee, working with the Centre County Breast Cancer Coalition and the local chapter of the American Cancer Society, would like to invite all women to play with us this year or be involved in some way to help beat this dreaded disease. “The tournament, which began in 1994 as a small local event of 42 golfers, raised $393 for the American Cancer Society,” explained Reeve. “We are excited to share that in 2012 we raised $24,475, pushing our 18-year total to nearly $287,021. “Again, special thanks to the 2012 Geri Reeve Open donors and we look forward to their continued support in 2013. It is only through the efforts and support of local residents, organizations and businesses that we can continue to grow and make an impact in the fight against this deadly disease.” The event is a four-person scramble and begins with golfer registration at 7 a.m. Breakfast will be available. The cost of the event is $125 per person and includes breakfast, team photo, greens fee, cart, gift and lunch. There are also two golfers packages available.

In addition, the event will have “hit closest to the pink ribbon” and “let the pro take your shot.” Remember to take a few extra dollars onto the course to participate in these events. Mulligans will be available for purchase.

Volleyball squad picked to win Big Ten StateCollege.com UNIVERSITY PARK — The Penn State women’s volleyball team was named the favorite to win the Big Ten this year for the eighth time in nine seasons, according to the Big Ten Preseason Coaches’ Poll. Additionally, five players — Megan Courtney, Micha Hancock, Deja McClendon, Ariel Scott, and Katie Slay — were named to the preseason All-Big Ten team. Scott was one of three unanimous decisions by the coaches to make the team, and the Nittany Lions had the most players named to the preseason team with five. Scott was the 2012 Big Ten Player of the Year, as well as an American
Volleyball Coaches’ Association FirstTeam All-American. She played in all 36 matches, starting 35 as an outside hitter. Scott led the Nittany Lions with 469 kills. Reigning Big Ten Setter of the Year and AVCA First-Team All-American Micha Hancock helped Penn State lead the Big Ten in hitting percentage, where the team ranked third nationally. Hancock posted a tournament record 22 aces in this year’s NCAA Tournament. Going into her junior year, Hancock has 172 career aces, which is fourth on Penn State’s AllTime list. Deja McClendon was named an AVCA Third-Team All-American last season, which was her time being
honored as an All-American honor. McClendon has over 1,000 kills in her career as outside hitter. Katie Slay earned her second AllAmerican honor, earning a place on the second team. Slay led the Nittany Lions with 164 blocks, which also led the Big Ten. Slay’s hitting percentage was .462, which was good for second highest percentage in the conference. Reigning Big Ten Freshman of the Year Megan Courtney returns for her sophomore season as outside hitter. Courtney had 240 kills and 237 digs, both of which placed her fourth on the team.

Annual concert will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters By BRITTANY SVOBODA
correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
BOALSBURG — In hopes of raising awareness and funds for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Centre County, local artists and vendors are coming together with ThirdPlace to put on the 3rd annual Benefest concert. The event is scheduled to take place from 1 to 7 p.m. on Aug. 25 at Harvest Fields in Boalsburg. ThirdPlace is a group of graduate students and young professionals in their 20s and 30s who strive to provide a forum through which the community can connect and build relationships.
IF YOU GO WHAT: Benefest concert featuring Pure Cane Sugar, Eric Farmer, Riley Roth and JB5-3. WHEN: 1 to 7 p.m., Aug. 25 WHERE: Harvest Fields, Boalsburg COST: Free MORE INFO: Donations benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Centre County Local band Pure Cane Sugar will be headlining the concert, said Katie Tenny, concert coordinator and ThirdPlace member with JB5-3, Riley Roth and Eric Farmer
will be playing as well. Several local vendors will also be at Benefest, including Eden View Plow To Platter, El Gringo Taco Truck, Cottage Confectioner and Sun & Moon Creations. According to ThirdPlace’s website, this event is alcohol-free, but patrons are permitted to pack a picnic and blankets. This year, ThirdPlace chose to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Centre County through the concert to put an emphasis on the children in the community, said Thirdplace member Kristin Meyerback. “There are over 100 kids ... waiting for a mentor,” Tenny said. “We want to eradicate the list and encourage people to consider becoming a mentor.” Tenny said the concert is also for community members to “relax, have a fun time, hang out on the hill and listen to good music.” This is the first time Big Brothers Big Sisters of Centre County has participated in Benefest, said Jodi Morelli, program coordinator for the organization. “They approached us earlier this year,” Morelli said. “(The concert) is a double blessing.” Not only will Benefest help raise money, she said, but will also generate some awareness for the organization. At Benefest, Morelli said there will be an information table with staff members available to answer any questions the public might have about Big Brothers Big Sisters.

MILLHEIM — The Wiyos will perform at 8 p.m. on Aug. 31 at Elk Creek Cafe and Aleworks, 100 W. Main St., in Millheim. Tickets are $15. Riding on the tails of their eclectic 2012 release, “Twist,” a concept album loosely based on “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,” The Wiyos have returned to their roots in 2013. The band continues to debut new original material and is slated to release a new EP, “One More For The Road” in September. The Wiyos was one of the first “oldtimey” bands to emerge on the national scene in the first wave of acoustic bands riding the renewed popularity of early swing jazz, rural folk, old-time blues and Appalachian music. In 2009, they had a 28-show summer tour as openers of for Bob Dylan. Later that year, the band was featured in the BBC television documentary, “Folk America — Hollerers, Stompers and Old-Time Ramblers.” In 2010, the band was featured in another BBC television special, “No Sleep ‘Til Yell.” The Wiyos’ 2012 release, “Twist,” has been compared to Lennon/McCartney. “Twist” recently took top honors in the 12th annual Independent Music Awards for “Best Concept Album.” The Wiyos are mostly known for their wild amalgamation of “old time” sounds, but on “Twist,” the band lets its members’

Scotland’s The Herald commented that The Wiyos’ “Twist” show was everything from “junkyard blues to Cuban neighborhood via surf song harmonies and backwoods Appalachia.” After seeing some of the record debuted live, a reviewer from the Chicago Tribune called it “revelatory.” “Twist” is undoubtedly The Wiyos’ strongest and boldest work to date. It is an original song cycle loosely based on L. Frank Baum’s “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.” The band’s central writers, Michael Farkas and Teddy Weber, have distilled their reflections of nine years of touring roots festivals, Vaudeville shows, coffee houses, big city clubs, backwoods bars, theaters, backyard parties, performing arts centers, barn dances, churches, art centers and even stadiums, and mashed it all together with their uncanny knack for merging and fusing numerous American musical styles.

Billy Bragg to visit State Theatre on Oct. 2 From Gazette staff reports
STATE COLLEGE — See Billy Bragg on his “Tooth and Nail” tour at 8 p.m. on Oct. 2 at The State Theatre. This tour celebrates the first new studio album by Bragg in five years, released in March 2013. During the two decades of his career, Bragg has certainly made an indelible mark on the conscience of British music, becoming perhaps the most stalwart guardian of the radical, dissenting tradition that stretches back over centuries of the country’s political, cultural and social history. His music blends elements of folk music, punk rock and protest songs. Bragg recently was described by The Times newspaper as a “national treasure.” Bragg is an artist with a keen sense of political activism and he has a way with a pop hook, all infused with a sense of humanity and humor. It’s this legacy that’s earned Bragg fans the world over. As another part of his musical legacy, Bragg is a board director and key spokesman for the Featured Artists Coalition, a body representing the rights of recording artists. Bragg also founded the organization Jail Guitar Doors (taking its name from the song by The Clash), which supplies instruments to prisoners to encourage them to

WPSU works to preserve funding for public media UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State Public Media, in partnership with more than 400 public radio and television stations across the country, is re-launching an online grassroots campaign to sustain federal funding for public media under a new name and website, “Protect My Public Media.” Formerly “170 Million Americans for Public Broadcasting,” the new campaign website is interactive, allowing users to share their experiences with public media from any computer or mobile device. “Public service media is an excellent example of a public-private partnership that leverages federal dollars with local dollars while at the same time providing an unparalleled media service,” said Greg Petersen, director of broadcasting for WPSU. According to the Protect My Public Media website, federal funding for public media amounts to $1.35 per person per year. More than 98 percent of the U.S. population can enjoy free, over-the-air and online news, educational and cultural
programming. WPSU reaches more than 500,000 television households in central Pennsylvania, providing national and local programs, educational content and community outreach. “We extend information and lifelong learning through television, radio and other venues every day, so people have come to depend on this trusted and valued resource. Protect My Public Media allows our station’s local supporters to take action more easily on behalf of our local service and the programs they enjoy most,” Petersen said. The new Protect My Public Media website features a blog that highlights news and facts about public media stations. The campaign continues to engage supporters on Facebook and Twitter. Penn State Public Media, WPSU serves central Pennsylvania with programming, educational services and community outreach. Penn State Public Media, WPSU is part of Penn State Outreach and Online Education, which serves more than 5 million people each year, in all 67 Pennsylvania counties, all 50 states and more than 100 countries worldwide.
