Fresh Air kids arrive in State College By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — One by one, the children got off the bus and took in their surroundings. It didn’t take long before they began running around the park, playing, laughing and chasing one another. A group of Fresh Air kids from New York came to State College on Aug. 1. The bus arrived at Spring Creek Park in the middle of a gorgeous afternoon in Happy Valley. While some of the children were shy, others spoke excitedly about being in the “country” for a week or two. Latrell Grant, 15, has been coming to Centre County for several years. He said that he looks forward to it every summer. “It’s fun, it’s exciting to come here,” explained Grant, who lives in New York City. “It’s fun to explore and get away from where you live.” Grant has stayed with the same host family for several years. Last year, they went to Walt Disney World. “That was fun, seeing all the characters,” Grant said.

Dewin Gomez, 11, has been a “Fresh Air Kid” since he was 6. “I’ll probably be staying for a week or two,” Gomez said. “It was a long bus ride, but I like coming here. I like to see horses, things like that. It’s a lot of fun.” Brenda Whyte, of Warren, is a volunteer for the Fresh Air Fund. She rode in with the kids from New York. “This is great for the kids. They get to see and do things they’ve never done before. Many of these kids have never seen fireflies, never made s’mores. On the bus ride in, one of the kids said, ‘Look, a horse. I’ve never seen a horse.’ It’s a very neat experience,” Whyte said. The Fresh Air Fund is a nonprofit agency that provides free summer vacations for children who are from disadvantaged communities. The Fresh Air Fund has been around since 1877 and nearly 2 million children have taken part in the program. The children who arrived in State College on Friday afternoon were selected by administrators with the Fresh Air Fund, according to Whyte. Kids, Page 4

Visually impaired students graduate from summer academy By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

TIM WEIGHT/For the Gazette

FEELS LIKE THE FIRST TIME: Penn State first-year football coach James Franklin enjoyed his first media day at the helm of the Nittany Lions. He met with reporters on Monday at Beaver Stadium.

UNIVERSITY PARK — In comparison to the commencement ceremonies that typically take place at Penn State, this one might have seemed insignificant on paper. In person, however, it signified more than just a new beginning. The students graduating that day, who are blind or have a visual impairment, have always been told, “You can’t.” For three weeks while they lived and were treated

like Penn State students, they proved that they can — and will. On Aug. 1, 23 students graduated from the 6th annual Bureau of Blindness and Visual Services Summer Academy. During their time at the academy, the students utilized and further developed the skills they will use on a daily basis when they are in college. This includes using assistive technology, attending classes and navigating campus, among other things. Graduates, Page 5

Franklin meets the press By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State first-year head football coach James Franklin took a seat in front of the microphone and examined the throng of reporters that had gathered in the media room at Beaver Stadium. Chances are that he’d never seen anything like this at Vanderbilt. It was standing room only inside the media room. Franklin launched into an opening statement before tackling questions on his first media day as head Opinion ............................. 7 Health & Wellness .......... 8, 9

coach of the Nittany Lions. “We’re obviously very excited. You know, I guess it’s been seven months since we arrived and we’ve gotten a lot of work done in a short period of time,” Franklin said. “I’m excited to get going and working with these guys day in and day out. There’s also a part of me that wished he had another seven months … you wish you could do more and you wish you had more time.” Media day is a sure sign that the start of the college football season is right around the corner.

STATE COLLEGE — State College police are working to identify a man who may have stolen a Samsung Galaxy S5 cell phone last month. According to a news release from police, a woman contacted police after losing her phone near Canyon Pizza on July 12. Unable to track her lost phone, the victim eventually purchased another. When she activated her new phone, she received a message from her previous phone’s security feature. While apparently trying to access the stolen or missing phone, it took a picture of the man and forwarded it to the victim. Police are asking anyone who recognizes the man, or who has any other information about the incident, to call (814) 234-7150.

Money magazine ranks Penn State No. 177 By JESSICA TULLY StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — Money magazine recently released its “Best Colleges for Your Money” list, with Penn State University Park ranking 177th. To find out which of the nation’s 1,500 four-year colleges provide the best bang for your buck, Money screened out those with below-average graduation rates and then ranked the remaining 665. On the Money ranking, Penn State is behind almost every school in the Big Ten. Only the University of Minnesota and University of Nebraska are rated lower than Penn State. Minnesota was ranked 183; Nebraska was ranked 223. Penn State spokeswoman Lisa Powers said there is one area that decidedly hurts Penn State in these types of rankings. The inclusion of financial aid, particularly needbased aid, is an area where Penn State has tried to increase the available institutional funds. “Part of the problem in these types of calculations is the large number of students we serve,” Powers said. “We are proud of our accessibility, but dividing the total amount of financial aid given annually by our nearly 40,000 student body at University Park makes our per student figure of aid extraordinarily small.” Within the state, Penn State was ranked significantly higher than other colleges. Temple University was ranked 339th while the University of Pittsburgh was rated 399th. The rankings were calculated based on quality of education, affordability and outcome. Then a statistical technique was used to turn all the data points into a single score on a five-point scale. The schools were ranked based on those scores. The goal of the Money rankings is to give students and parents a better indication of which colleges will provide real value for their tuition dollars. The list combines pricing with estimates of likely earnings that take into account a student’s economic background, test scores and major. The “Best Colleges for Your Money” ranking comes one month after Penn State was ranked second on the national list of highest in-state tuition and required fees among four-year public colleges or universities. On the recently updated U.S. Department of Education Affordability and Transparency list, Penn State came in at second, behind the University of Pittsburgh. Penn State President Eric Barron has said making the university more affordable for students is one of his top priorities. Powers said research into the affordability opportunities suggested by Barron is just getting underway. “There have been a number of meetings of a working group charged with identifying additional opportunities, such as increased use of facilities over the summer and flexible summer tuition pricing,” Powers said. “The group also is looking at better preparation of students before they enter Penn State, as well as all along the course of their college career, in order to improve time-to-degree performance. In addition, our World Campus is currently examining the potential for discounted courses for a lowcost summer and we are considering developing a few pilot programs to test out some of the other ideas that have merit.” For the time being, Powers said the university is conducting a lot of research and doing back-end work to determine if these ideas can be turned into tangible opportunities. “The bottom line on this ranking, and any other rankings, is that potential students and their families need to determine their choices not just based on a magazine ranking, but by visiting an institution, weighing the pros and cons, talking with financial aid counselors from the institution and deciding if the university is a fit for them personally,” Powers said. “Every student’s needs are different and students won’t know if they are eligible for institutional aid or whether things are within their family’s budget unless they do the homework beyond just reading a magazine.”

Authorities pursue new lead in disappearance case By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

CHRIS MORELLI/The Gazette

CHILDREN FROM New York wait for their host families to arrive on Aug. 1 at Spring Creek Park. The children visited State College as part of the Fresh Air Fund program. Kids, from page 1 “In New York, there’s a process … they recruit the kids and then the kids are given a choice of families. The kids might not know the family’s name and all their background, but they do know that there’s mom and dad, how many kids there are in the household,” Whyte said. And don’t forget the pets. “We talk about that because some of them are afraid of dogs,” Whyte said. “We’re very cautious about that. The children really get to choose.” Whyte’s a teacher in Warren and her family hosts a child every summer. Sometimes, she said, it’s more than one. “Sometimes, we’ll take a boy and a girl if they match up with our kids’ ages,” Whyte said. “It depends on the circumstances if we can make the dates work.” Whyte said that the first-year children are always the most fun. Brandy Davis, 9, is a first-year Fresh Air kid. She talked about seeing cornfields and cows on the ride in. “This is my first time … I saw those things on TV, but never for real,” Davis said. “We saw a lot of corn, a lot of

cows.” As far as activities are concerned, Davis had one thing on her mind. “I want to swim the most,” she said. The Fresh Air Fund relies heavily on volunteers. Pam Hubbard, of Lock Haven, has been involved with the Fresh Air Fund for more than two decades. On this day, she was helping transport children to their host families. “My family did it when I was a child,” Hubbard explained. “My hairdresser did it and she just fell in love with her Fresh Air child, so I thought I needed to do it.” Hubbard oversees the Lock Haven, Lamar and Williamsport areas for the Fresh Air Fund. “I love seeing the smiles and the excitement and watching the families fall in love with these kids,” Hubbard said. Picking the kids up is the fun part, the easy part. Sending them home? Well, that’s a different story, Hubbard said. “The kids don’t cry when they leave on the bus from New York,” Hubbard said, “but they cry when they leave here.”

STATE COLLEGE — Eleven weeks after Jennifer CahillShadle disappeared, authorities are pursuing a new lead in the case. Investigators told a group of reporters Friday morning they are attempting to identify a group of men who shared drinks with Cahill-Shadle at Champs Sports Grill on North Atherton Street the evening of May 2, roughly two weeks before she was last seen at Walmart in Ferguson Township. Police say the men are not suspects, but detectives would like to talk to them in hopes Cahill-Shadle may have discussed her plans for the near future, which would be information that could lead to her whereabouts. “The men are not in any trouble. We would just like to speak with them,” said Ferguson Township Police Chief Diane Conrad. Authorities released a copy of an American Express credit card receipt from Champs, which one of the men used to pay the tab. Police are asking for help to identify the cardholder. Police can contact the credit card company directly, however, investigators say the company is not required to release clients’ personal information. Police say it appeared Cahill-Shadle met the men for the first time that evening while at the bar. Anyone with information regarding Cahill-Shadle’s whereabouts or who can identify the Champs patrons can contact Ferguson Township Police at (814) 237-1172 or (800) 479-0050. Cahill-Shadle was last seen around 5 p.m.on May 15 at Walmart carrying a black shoulder bag. Police released surveillance images of Cahill-Shadle from Walmart, which were captured about 4:51 p.m. when she was seen exiting the store. Investigators are still in the process of combing through surveillance video pulled from other cameras in the area. Cahill-Shadle lived in Ferguson Township for years before moving to Orwigsburg last November to live with her mother. She returned to the State College area in April, staying at hotels or with friends, but not at the Ferguson Township home she had shared with her husband. Disappearance, Page 5

STAN SWAINTEK, director of field operations for the Bureau of Blindness and Visual Services, speaks to students about to graduate from the Summer Academy at Penn State. Graduates, from page 1 The camp previously took place at a rehabilitation center in Johnstown, but moved to Penn State this year. “It has been great being at Penn State,” said Susan Neff, an aging service specialist with the BBVS. “It has just taken the program to the next level.” Students were able to really get the college experience, she said, and better develop their daily independent living skills for when they are on their own. Amy Somers, a rehabilitation teacher in Altoona with the BBVS, said that this was the first time many of the students spent a long period of time with others who also have an impairment. “This really helps them because they know they’re not alone,” she said. Sara Kowalewski, one of this year’s graduates, said that when she first came to the academy three weeks ago, she didn’t know how she was going to become friends with all of the other students. “Now, I look at us and I’m astonished because we all have such good friendships that I’ve never made,” she said as she addressed her fellow graduates. “What the summer academy has taught me is that you can overcome any fear that you have and you can do anything as well as a fully sighted person can. “It’s very inspirational to come and see all of these people here who have visual impairments because you know you’re not alone,” Kowalewski said. Liesl and Tom Minneci said that when their daughter, Jessica, left for the academy three weeks ago, “she knew it would be a lot of work.” Both acknowledged, however, that this will definitely help her transition to college. During the three weeks at the academy, Liesl Minneci said she and her daughter texted only a few times and spoke on the phone once. “She was really busy, but it was a good thing,” she said. “It was important for her to be here. She learned a lot. We’re glad it exists.”

Tom Minneci said that he and his wife have no worries that their daughter will excel academically in college, but they were concerned about her being able to navigate. “That might be stressful for her, especially if it’s a large campus,” he said. Since Jessica learned how to get around at Penn State and other areas of the community during the academy though, that transition will hopefully be easier, he said. Jessica, who will be a senior this year, is considering Penn State, but has not made a decision yet, according to her mother. “Encourage your children to use the skills they developed over the past few weeks,” said the BBVS director David DeNotaris. “Let them continue to develop those skills. We need to be possibility thinkers.” DeNotaris also stressed to the students and parents that using a cane is not a symbol of weakness, but rather independence. “The hardest thing for a blind person ever to do is use (a cane),” he said. “Once you learn to use this, you can tap your potential and go from where you are to where you want to go.” During his address to the graduates and their parents, Michael Vovakes, special assistant to the secretary of labor and industry, congratulated the students’ hard work and the impact they can have on the world and others. “Don’t shortchange yourself. Believe in yourself,” he said. “The world needs people like you now more than ever. Allow the world to benefit from who you are and what you can do. Don’t underestimate the value of this experience. Enjoy it.” At this year’s academy, graduate India Scott, who also attended two years ago, said, “People have pushed me past what I believed were my limits. “Maybe you’re not able to choose your own face, but you determine your own destiny,” said Scott. “If you want to unlock the key of your future, it’s waiting in your hand. But if you choose to sit back and let other people pass you by, you’ll miss the experience of a lifetime.”

At Penn State, it’s time for another fresh face. Bill O’Brien — the coach that took over post-scandal — has departed for the NFL and is now coaching the Houston Texans. For some of the seniors on the 2014 squad, Franklin is the fourth head coach they’ve had. With that in mind, Franklin said that the senior group has been special. “They have been great, they really have. I think you heard me talk about it before, there were some challenges there. Think about these redshirt seniors, I’m the fourth head coach they’ve had. They’ve been through a lot,” Franklin said. Franklin has been through a lot, too. Since arriving at Penn State seven months ago, it’s been a whirlwind. The tales of him sleeping in his office at the Lasch Building are well-documented. However, Franklin now has a home in State College. He was also recently reunited with his family, who finally made the move to Happy Valley. “It’s been really strange because my wife and kids have been such a big part of our programs. The fact that none of these kids really know my daughters and none of these kids really know my wife is weird, because my wife and kids are there every single day,” Franklin said. With that in mind, Franklin said he recently invited the players to his house for lunch and dinner. The players finally got a chance to meet his wife and children. That’s important, he said. “They didn’t want to sit with us,” Franklin said of his children, Shola and Addison. “Shola went and sat with one group of players. Addie went and sat with another group of players. I love that. My wife loves Disappearance, from page 4 Loved ones say Cahill-Shadle was going through a divorce. After staying with her mother, she decided to move back to the State College area to be closer to her two children. Loved ones say she was staying in hotels while looking for an apartment. Authorities say what is particularly concerning about Cahill-Shadle’s disappearance is that she has not contacted her children. Conrad said, typically, Cahill-Shadle called her children every couple of days. Cahill-Shadle also typically used credit and debit cards to make purchases, however, police say she has not used her cards since May 15. Additionally, she has not used her medical insurance. Conrad said Cahill-Shadle has issues

Page 5 it. It’s awesome for our football team as well. They get to see me in a different light and I think that’s important.” Franklin said that while it’s great to have his family back together, there’s not a lot of time to hang out with them. The focus is on football, he said. A clash with Central Florida in Dublin, Ireland, looms on Saturday, Aug. 30. Although preseason camp is underway, Franklin didn’t want to get into specifics of the gameplan for UCF. “One of the things that I always struggle with is how do I answer your questions and give you the information that you need, with also not talking directly to George O’Leary, because he’s watching this right now,” Franklin said, referencing UCF’s coach. With just about three weeks before the season opener, Franklin knows there is a sense of urgency. But he’s more concerned about his own team than he is the opposition — at least for now. “Our focus is on Penn State and becoming the best Penn State we possibly can,” he said. “Then, there will come a point in about two weeks during training camp where we will flip the switch and start specific preparation for Central Florida.” As for the names and numbers, the usual suspects — guys like Christian Hackenberg and Adrian Amos — will be there, of course. But don’t be surprised to see some new numbers, names and faces. “One of the things that’s a little bit different here at Penn State is that 175 guys show up for the walk-on tryout and that creates some numbers for you,” Franklin said. “Numbers are a powerful thing. It allows us to be really selective and we all know there’s walk-ons all over the country that have had huge impacts at universities and have gone on to play in the NFL.” with substance abuse, which Conrad says could make her “easier prey.” So far, authorities are not ruling anything out. “The investigation is still open. We haven’t ruled anyone or any circumstances in or out,” said Conrad. Cahill-Shadle does not have a car and usually gets around by walking or taking a taxi. Police described her as white, 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighing 115 pounds with blue eyes and curly brown hair. “Everybody’s on high alert and they (investigators) are treating this woman as if she’s a member of their family,” said Centre County District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller. “The goal is for people to rack their brains and let us know if they saw anything. ... Any lead, even if people think it’s not important, might be important.”

Police warn about ‘Green Dot’ scam By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — Police have received several reports from victims about what they are calling the “Green Dot Scam,” in which a potential renter unknowingly responds to a fake real estate listing online. After responding to the listing, a con artist who calls himself “David Crowe” asks the victim to pay for several months of rent using a Green Dot prepaid debit card, according to a news release.

Green Dot cards can be purchased at various retailers and activated by phone or over the Internet. They work like a credit card and can be used for purchases in stores, over the phone and on the Internet. Police believe the scam is being run from outside the United States and urge all State College residents to exercise caution when looking at apartment listings, especially if asked to pay using a prepaid card. Police also encourage residents to confirm all rental information in person, and to Scam, Page 6

Patton Township man honored for donor history By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dick Shaw was already a hero. He served in the U.S. Army for two years during the Korean War. But Tuesday afternoon the American Red Cross scheduled a blood drive in his honor as he was set to donate his 16th gallon of blood. The blood drive was held at the State College Christian and Missionary Alliance Church, 1221 W. Whitehall Road. Shaw donated blood for the first time in 1952 just before basic training at Camp Breckenridge when his company commander marched him and 339 other soldiers up to the hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You will donate blood,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Shaw said. Five months later, during leadership training, Shawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lieutenant came looking for donors. A local woman suffered severe burns in a fire and needed blood. Shaw volunteered. After serving in the Army, periodically, Shaw would stop in at a blood drive and donate. In the 1970s, the local hospital called him a few times asking if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be an emergency donor. Over the last eight years or so, Shaw has donated every eight weeks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the minimum time allowed between donations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once I found out I had O-negative blood and I was a universal donor I felt the leading of the Lord and the need to help people,â&#x20AC;? Shaw said. Not only does Shaw donate regularly, but he also volunteers at local blood drives by providing canteen services. Shaw hopes the blood drive that was held in his honor,

at the church he attends, drew in new donors. Shaw says he understands that new donors may have some fears, but he says the process is simple and quick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little fear of the unknown. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little discomfort at first when they put the needle in, but then you lay there for six or eight minutes and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done,â&#x20AC;? he said. The American Red Cross is facing a looming blood shortage, leading to an urgent need for donors of all blood types, said Laura Merritt, a donor recruitment representative. Donations are down roughly 8 percent over the last 11 weeks, resulting in about 80,000 fewer donations than expected. The summer is traditionally a season with fewer donations as many people are on vacation and schools â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which account for 30 percent of donations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are closed, Merritt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Patients donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a summer vacation from needing blood,â&#x20AC;? said Merritt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Red Cross encourages donors to make an appointment now to help ensure a stable supply in the weeks ahead.â&#x20AC;? Eligible donors with types O-negative, B-negative and A-negative blood are needed. Type O-negative is the universal blood type and can be transfused to anyone who needs blood. Types A-negative and B-negative can be transfused to Rh-positive or Rh-negative patients. Blood donated during the Aug. 5 blood drive will be used to support patients across the 100-county service area of the American Red Cross, Greater Alleghenies Blood Services Region. Anyone who donates during any Red Cross blood drive in August will receive a coupon for $2.50 off the purchase

Autism expert speaks at Penn State Man faces child porn charges By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Florida State University professor who has worked in psychology and behavioral analysis for 44 years explained Monday how his role as an expert witness helped secure Medicaid coverage for autism treatments. Jon Bailey spoke at the 2014 National Autism Conference held at the Penn Stater Conference Center. There, he explained how his testimony debunked a journal article issued to lawmakers and insurance companies. The article, he believes, intended to discredit successful treatment for behaviors related to autism, characterizing it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;experimental,â&#x20AC;? thus opening a window for states and insurance companies to deny coverage. The case, K.G. vs. Elizabeth Dudek, secretary for the state agency for health care administration, went to trial in the Florida Fifth Circuit Court before federal Judge Joan Lenard. Three unidentified patients alleged that the state agency violated the Medicaid Act by denying Medicaid coverage for Applied Behavioral Analysis treatment. Bailey testified as an expert witness for the plaintiffs. He said Monday there is an attempt by certain parties to prove ABA is experimental. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they could just convince everybody this is an experimental approach they could be

off the hook,â&#x20AC;? he said. Specifically, in the KG. vs. Dudek case, Bailey testified about the credibility of a Hayes Directory review study, which he said was based on a narrow pool of studies and attempted to cast doubt on the reported success of the ABA treatment, describing it as experimental, despite the fact it is widely accepted in the medical community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After reading through this I determined this was an attempt to poison the well,â&#x20AC;? said Bailey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I considered the document toxic.â&#x20AC;? Bailey testified in federal court that the report was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;blatant misrepresentationâ&#x20AC;? and had a â&#x20AC;&#x153;disingenuous analysis.â&#x20AC;? He also noted that meta analyses show there are huge positive effects from ABA and those analyses should carry more weight than review of studies, including the Hayes Directory review. Ultimately, the judge agreed and ruled the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claim that ABA treatment is experimental â&#x20AC;&#x153;was arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable.â&#x20AC;? The judge ordered the State of Florida to fund and authorize ABA treatment for Medicaid patients under 21 with autism. The state appealed that decision, which a federal court upheld in September. The decision, Bailey said, will have national implications. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We won at trial, but really itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ABA that won,â&#x20AC;? said Bailey.

Armed robbery under investigation By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Authorities in Patton Township are investigating an armed robbery at Radio Shack. Patton Township Police Chief John Petrick told StateCollege.com the incident happened about noon on Tuesday at the electronics store off of North Atherton Street. Petrick says an unidentified man entered the store armed with a handgun and demanded money. Authorities describe the suspect as a black male with

short dreadlocked hair, in his early 20s, between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet tall, and wearing a long white T-shirt and blue jeans. Officers searched the area but were unable to locate the suspect. Anyone with information regarding the incident should contact the Patton Township Police Department at (814) 234-0271 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a concern when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s any type of robbery, more so when an individual enters a store with a handgun,â&#x20AC;? said Petrick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are going to do everything we can to solve this case.â&#x20AC;?

STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A church youth leader from Lemont faces child pornography charges, according to court records filed by the state attorney generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. Alexander Park, 24, faces 25 counts of possession of child pornography and one count of criminal use of a communication facility. The attorney generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office and State College Police Department executed a search warrant last week at Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home. Authorities seized three computers and a thumb drive from a home office and Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bedroom, court records say. Officials say computer forensics agents found several hundred images and videos of suspected child pornography. Initially, police say no one was home when authorities arrived. Police ALEXANDER PARK contacted Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, the homeowner, who then returned to the property. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when police learned Park was at Green Hills Camp, a church camp in Baree, Huntingdon County, according to court records. The United Methodist Church operates the camp. The Rev. Mike Bealla, director of connectional ministries, said Park was not employed by the camp, but was attending the camp as a youth group volunteer with Mount Nittany United Methodist Church. Investigators then traveled to the camp to interview Park. Afterward he was transported to the State College Police Department where he was charged with the crimes. A cyber tip made by Google to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children led police to Park, according to court records. Google made the report after detecting that Park allegedly uploaded five child pornography images to his Google email account. Park was arrested and arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Thomas N. Jordan. He was released on $50,000 unsecured bail.

Vaccinating children must be a priority By The Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Residents in Tarrant County, Texas, got a sobering reminder of how important it is to vaccinate children when public health officials last week confirmed the first case of measles in the county since 2013. A resident who had recently traveled to Wichita, Kan., where 11 measles cases have been verified, was apparently exposed to the highly contagious disease while attending a softball tournament early this month. Unfortunately, more than 30 other Texans who attended the event may have been exposed as well. According to the Centers for Disease Control, measles is the most deadly of all childhood rash/fever illnesses. It is highly communicable, meaning it can spread easily through coughing and sneezing, even breathing in close contact with an infected person. It also can take up to three weeks to incubate, sometimes making it difficult to determine when or where a person contracted the illness. But the virus is almost entirely preventable by way of an easily obtained vaccine, usually administered just after a child’s first birthday. Since 1963, the measles vaccine has been in wide use, leading to a greater than 99 percent reduction in confirmed cases in the U.S. Still, many Americans wrongly assume that such illnesses are vestiges of less enlightened times and all but nonexistent. As a result, many fail to get their kids the vaccines that can ensure that these diseases do indeed remain things of the past. Similarly, a recent anti-vaccination movement advanced by some scientists and celebrities reportedly found a link between vaccines and autism in children. But such theories have repeatedly been proven wrong. Parents still have several weeks to get children vaccinated before the school year begins. Do it.

Big Labor in the United States has been on the wane for decades. About 6.7 percent of American private-sector workers belonged to a union in 2013, according to the U.S. Bureau Labor of Statistics. Public-sector union membership topped 35.3 percent. Democrats in Congress would like to change that. A bill by Reps. Keith Ellison, D-Minnesota, and John Lewis, D-Georgia, would amend the 1964 Civil Rights Act to make labor organizing a “fundamental right.” They argue that the law should make it easier for workers to band together against unfair treatment from employers. Is the Ellison-Lewis legislation a way to level the free-speech playing field against corporations? Or would the law coerce workers into joining unions whether they like it or not? Columnists Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk weigh in.

employees. n The rich. Earlier this year, the Supreme Court struck down limits on how much an individual can spend during a campaign cycle, deeming the previous $123,000 limit an infringement on America’s essential freedoms. What, exactly, would be the justification for leaving union organizers off this list? Aside, of course, from naked partisanship and class warfare waged from above. Richard Kahlenberg and Moshe Z. Marvit originated the idea of treating unionization as a civil right several years ago in a New York Times op-ed. Corporations, in the end, are groups of individuals who have banded together for a specific purpose — usually profit. Unions are the same thing. They deserve the same rights as their richer colleagues. Of course union organizing is a civil right.

JOEL MATHIS

Obviously union organizing is a First Amendment right. We can argue whether public-sector workers should be unionized, but nobody today disputes that private-sector employees have a right to form or join a labor union. Freedom of assembly should be free. Shouldn’t that be indisputable, too? Unions aren’t especially interested in workers freely choosing to join their ranks and pay dues. With membership dwindling and the legal tide turning, they need government protection to remain viable. What the “civil right” labor organizers seek is really a new right to coerce workers into membership, whether they want it or not.

Before we answer the question of whether union organizing should be covered as a First Amendment civil right, let’s consider who has seen such rights affirmed or expanded in recent years. n Corporations. Thanks to the Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United, corporations are now guaranteed the First Amendment “free speech” right to spend as much as they want to influence political campaigns. n Hobby Lobby. The craft store may not have a soul of its own, but it is free to ignore federal laws that conflict with its owners’ religious beliefs, including the mandate that employers offer birth control as part of any health insurance plan they offer

BEN BOYCHUK

It’s not as though unions don’t have extensive legal rights and protections right now. The National Labor Relations Act effectively enshrined the right to collective bargaining 79 years ago. Subsequent laws exempted unions from most trespassing and anti-monopoly laws, as well as whistleblower protections. The Supreme Court’s 1973 Enmons decision even carved out a union exception from federal racketeering and extortion laws. Incredibly, five justices endorsed the view that economic gain through violence is permissible when unions seek “legitimate” objectives. Thousands of acts of union thuggery, intimidation and assault have gone unpunished as a result. Liberals appear happy to endorse the principle of freedom of association until it runs afoul of their more beloved shibboleths. Then a corporation such as Hobby Lobby — for which exactly no one is compelled to work — becomes Public Enemy No. 1. Then a court decision like Citizens United — which, contra President Barack Obama, did not undo “a century of law” — becomes the worst assault on American democracy since Dred Scott. Truth is, labor unions are failing the basic test of survival in the marketplace of ideas. Workers are no longer buying what Big Labor is selling. Freedom of workers to organize? More like freedom of unions to extract more dues. This isn’t about civil rights — it’s a license to commit extortion.

Dealing with the other domestic violence By JOHN M. CRISP

Some problems just never go away. Israel and Hamas. Climate change. Men hitting women. The last issue was in the news again last week. Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice was caught on tape dragging his unconscious fiancee out of an elevator. Rice appears to have punched his now wife, Janay Rice, knocking her out. Perhaps our nation has made some progress in this area. Perhaps we’re more aware of the problem of domestic violence and provide more resources for women whose husbands and boyfriends beat them up than we did in the past. But the pendulum took a swing in the wrong direction last week when the National Football League suspended Rice for only two games, a punishment that struck many as mild for such a significant offense. ESPN sportscaster Steven Smith gave the pendulum an extra, unnecessary nudge when he said, Sure, men shouldn’t hit women; on the other hand women need to be careful that they don’t do anything to “provoke” men. Smith apologized. Ray Rice apologized. Janay Rice stopped short of apologizing. And the NFL hasn’t apologized, at all. A statistic or two undercuts the attractive ideal of the American home as a place of refuge and security. The

Is union organizing a civil right?

National Coalition Against Domestic Violence reports that 25 percent of women will experience some form of domestic violence and about a third of all female homicide victims are killed by their intimate partners. Many women aren’t nearly as safe in their homes as they should be. But consider this form of domestic violence — men hitting women — in the context of another — men and women hitting children. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports that 1,600 children die annually from abuse and neglect. Close to 700,000 suffer from non-fatal abuse. And the Department of Agriculture reports that 15 percent of American households are “food insecure,” yet another type of abuse. Then there’s the spanking. We use the term to describe practices that range from a gentle, open-handed pat on a young child’s behind to extended thrashings of older children with hairbrushes and coat hangers. However we define spanking, we do a lot of it. A study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, published in 2010 by Child Abuse Review, indicates that 80 percent of children ages 3 to 5 years are spanked. A prominent study by Elizabeth Gershoff of Columbia University reports that more than 90 percent of Americans were spanked as children. Maybe there’s some boundary that separates controlled disciplinary

spanking from child abuse. But since many spankings — probably most, really — are administered in anger and frustration, we shouldn’t have too much confidence in parents’ ability to make the distinction. In any case, Gershoff’s analysis of 88 studies of corporal punishment excluded obvious physical abuse like beating, kicking, burning, punching and shaking. Nevertheless, her study found an overwhelming association between “ordinary spanking” and later aggression, violence, disruption of the parent-child relationship, anxiety, depression, delinquency, alcohol and drug abuse, and many more undesirable behaviors. I don’t know if football player Ray Rice was abused as a child, but as with most American children, the chances are that somebody hit him. I suspect that psychiatrists would decline to suggest any simple causeand-effect relationship between how Rice was treated as a child and how he treated his fiancee. Maybe we shouldn’t be so surprised that Ray Rice hit his then future wife. Maybe it would be a healthy step if the rest of us resolved to quit hitting the kids. John M.

Children and hot cars can be a deadly combination HERSHEY — Nearly 700 children have lost their lives over the last 20 years in the United States as a result of being left in or playing in a hot car. At last count, the total this year is 18. According to Shannon DePatto, health educator for the Pediatric Trauma Injury Prevention Program at Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital and Safe Kids Dauphin County, the cause of these deaths is usually attributable to heat stroke. Heat stroke occurs when the body rapidly increases in temperature. “Internally, 104 degrees is the temperature at which the body will start shutting down its organs,” DePatto said. “Above 104 is when a child could possibly die from heat stroke.” A child’s body temperature can rise three to five times faster than an adult’s. Combine that with a 20 degree increase in temperature inside a vehicle that can happen in less than 10 minutes and you have the makings of a very dangerous situation. “The internal temperature of the vehicle increases dramatically over a very short period of time even if the windows are rolled down,” she said. There are some things parents and caregivers can do to prevent the tragedy of a child death inside a hot car: n Recognize that a car is not a toy. Many car-related heat stroke deaths happen when a child wanders off and decides to play in the car. Teach your child the car is not a toy and is only used for transportation. Lock your car when not in use.

n Do not sit your child in the front seat like it’s a game. “Tell the child the car is not a toy and this is not an area that we play hide-and-seek. This isn’t a place we become curious and pretend like we can drive,” DePatto said. n Discourage kids from leaving toys around or in the car or playing near it. Telling a child that the car is off-limits could prevent them from ever going near the car. n Keep reminders in the car. Some parents think they would never forget their child is in the car, but it does happen. Children fall asleep and parents are distracted. “If you are going to point ‘a’ to point ‘b’ you’re on autopilot,” she said. “A lot of parents are just focusing on their destination.” Put a note on your steering wheel that says, “Don’t forget Jimmy,” or leave your purse or briefcase or something you need in the back, as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration suggests. “Another thing you could do is put a teddy bear on the passenger seat and that teddy bear will be that constant reminder that your child is in the back seat,” DePatto said. n Never leave your child in the car. Some parents think they’ll only be a minute — that they’re going to run in and out quickly. But the fact is, even five minutes could mean a substantial hike in temperature. “It doesn’t even need to be a hot day. If the temperature is 60 degrees outside, the inside of the vehicle is going to be nearly twice that very quickly,” she said.

Red Cross, Turkey Hill encourage blood donation STATE COLLEGE — The American Red Cross encourages all eligible blood donors to make an appointment to donate blood soon to help prevent a shortage. Those who come in to donate blood or platelets during August will receive a coupon for $2.50 off the purchase of a 48-ounce. container of Turkey Hill All Natural Ice Cream, while supplies last. During the summer months, on average, about two fewer donors give blood at each Red Cross blood drive than what is needed to meet the needs of patients. Vacations and summer activities are among the reasons regular donors may not find the time to give. “Hospital patients continue to need lifesaving blood this summer, and they’re relying on the generosity of volunteer donors to give them hope in the days and weeks ahead,” said Carolyn Kean, community CEO of the Red Cross Greater Alleghenies Blood Services Region. “Each day donations come up short, less blood is available for patients in need, and you never know when it could be your loved one needing blood.” Eligible donors with types O-negative, B-negative and A-negative blood are especially needed at this time. Type O-negative is the universal blood type and can be transfused to anyone who needs blood. Types A-negative and B-negative can be transfused to Rh-positive or Rh-negative patients. As a national network, the Red Cross has a unique responsibility to help ensure blood is available for patients whenever and wherever it is needed. By donating blood or platelets through the Red Cross, donors may be helping patients in their community or patients across the nation. For more information and to make an appointment, visit www.redcrossblood.org or call (800) RED- CROSS.

Parenting skills improve in ADHD parents with medication HERSHEY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Parenting skills of adults with ADHD improve when their ADHD is treated with medication, according to Penn State College of Medicine researchers. At least 25 percent of clinic-referred children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder have a parent with ADHD. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parents with ADHD are at increased risk to engage in problematic parenting techniques, including inconsistent disciplinary practices, making ineffectual commands and diminished use of praise,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. James Waxmonsky, associate professor of psychiatry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having a parent with ADHD also decreases the chances that children with ADHD will respond to typically effective medication or counseling treatment.â&#x20AC;? The researchers studied 20 parents of children ages 5 to 12, both parents having ADHD. Parents were evaluated to determine their optimal dosage of lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse) and then stabilized on the medicine. In the first phase of the study, parents and children were brought into the laboratory on two separate occasions and observed while completing typical parenting tasks. Each standardized interaction consisted of a homework component and a non-academic portion. In the homework task, parents helped children to complete age-appropriate schoolwork. In the non-academic task, parents and children played together, then parents were instructed to complete paperwork while the children were told to play quietly by themselves. The parent received either lisdexamfetamine or a placebo for the first observation and then the opposite for the second. Neither the researchers nor participants knew

when the active medication was received. The results of the first phase showed no medication effect was seen during the homework component. During the non-academic component, parents were less likely to make negative statements toward their children while on lisdexamfetamine, compared to those taking the placebo. Children showed less inappropriate behavior during the homework task when their parents were prescribed lisdexamfetamine versus placebo. Then, in the second phase, parents had a 50 percent chance of staying on active medication or a 50 percent chance of being switched to placebo for the remainder of the study. They completed the same parent-child interaction tasks as in the first phase. The results of the second phase showed that parents on lisdexamfetamine made fewer commands, were more responsive to their child and praised their child more than parents switched to placebo. Parents on lisdexamfetamine spoke less than parents on placebo during the homework task, with no differences during the non-academic task; they were less demanding than parents on placebo during the nonacademic task, with no differences during the homework task. The children of parents on lisdexamfetamine had fewer inappropriate behaviors during the homework task. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the laboratory setting, lisdexamfetamine treatment of parental ADHD was associated with significant reductions in childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s negative behaviors and improvements in parenting behaviors found to be adversely impacted by ADHD,â&#x20AC;? Waxmonsky said.

Study finds non-traditional students becoming norm By SAMANTHA SCHWARTZ Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A study by Esther Prins, co-director of the Goodling Institute and the Institute for the Study of Adult Literacy, and her colleagues, Cathy Kassab and Kimeka Campbell, challenges educators, researchers and policy makers to recalibrate their understanding of who college students are. A recent study of Free Application for Federal Student Aid applicants from Pennsylvania found the average applicant was 24 years old, 35 percent were adult learners, 40 percent were financially independent and 16 percent were not single. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Despite mounting evidence that nontraditional students are becoming the norm, financial aid policies and practices, higher education research and public discourse about college access and completion still assume a young, financially dependent, full-time student,â&#x20AC;? Prins said. State financial aid policies do not reflect the financial needs and educational trajectories of non-traditional students, spe-

cifically adult learners and GED graduates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adult learners and GED recipients are an untapped audience for creating an educated citizenry, yet many of them are ineligible for financial aid because they tend to study part-time and pursue degrees ESTHER PRINS that last less than two years, such as professional development courses, certificates and job training,â&#x20AC;? Prins said. Additionally, the study found that 40 percent of FAFSA applicants were in or near poverty, and about one in eight reported that he or she, a parent or a spouse was a dislocated worker â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that is, someone who has been laid off, is receiving unemployment benefits, and/or is a displaced homemaker who previously provided unpaid services to the family and is no longer supported by the husband or wife.

THE VERY BUSY SPIDER

â&#x20AC;&#x153;These findings suggest a high degree of economic vulnerability,â&#x20AC;? Prins said. Family income has declined, but state funding for higher education has not kept pace with rising tuition, according to study findings. As a result, research suggests more students and families are taking out loans, there is greater student and family debt, and more students are working to pay for college. The study also highlights the differences in the characteristics of distinct student subgroups. Beginning students, associate degree and certificate/diploma students, adult learners and GED holders experienced more economic and educational disadvantage than their peers and were less likely to study full time and to attend four-year institutions. The study suggests that rural students, comprising 20 percent of FAFSA applicants, were under-represented compared to the Pennsylvania rural adult population with high school credentials. Prins said that this is consistent with research showing lower education attainment and college enrollment rates in rural

Pennsylvania and nationally. In addition, rural students are significantly more likely to apply to public four-year institutions than their urban peers, primarily because Pennsylvania community colleges are concentrated in urban areas, according to a policy expert. The research used data from 610,925 FASFA applicants from June 1, 2010, to June 30, 2011, which was provided by the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency. To complement the data results, the researchers conducted interviews with financial aid administrators at six institutions in rural counties and with two higher education finance policy experts to provide program- and policy-relevant information regarding the socio-demographic characteristics and financial needs and status of Pennsylvania students, their families and communities. The study, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Financial Needs and Characteristics of Students Pursuing Postsecondary Education in Pennsylvania: A Rural-Urban Analysis,â&#x20AC;? was funded by the Center for Rural Pennsylvania.

LHU student awarded scholarship to study abroad LOCK HAVEN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lindsay Hein, a junior majoring in international studies at Lock Haven University, was recently selected as a recipient of the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship, which is sponsored by the Department of Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Hein is one of 800 American undergraduate students from 330 colleges and universities to receive the scholarship. She will study abroad at LHUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partner institution, The Institute for Leadership and Communication, in Rabat, Morocco, during the 2014-2015 academic year. Gilman Scholars each receive up to $5,000 to apply toward study abroad program costs. The program aims to diversify both the students

who study abroad and the countries and regions where they go. Students receiving federal Pell grants from two- and four-year institutions who will be studying abroad or participating in international internships for academic credit are eligible to apply. Scholarship recipients have the opportunity to gain a better understanding of other cultures, countries, languages and economies, which makes them better prepared to assume leadership roles within government and the private sector. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Study abroad is a special experience for every student who participates. Living and learning in a vastly different environment of another nation not only exposes our students to alternate views, but also adds an

enriching social and cultural experience,â&#x20AC;? said retired U.S. Congressman Benjamin Gilman, for whom the scholarship is named. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It also provides our students with the opportunity to return home with a deeper understanding of their place in the world, encouraging them to be a contributor, rather than a spectator in the international community,â&#x20AC;? Gilman added. Gilman retired in 2002 after serving in the U.S. House of Representatives for 30 years and chairing the House Foreign Relations Committee. The scholarship program is administered by the Institute of International Education. More information is available at www.iie.org/gilman.

Girl Scouts bring awareness to youth homelessness By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Two Girl Scouts recently donated 43 blankets to the Burrowes Street Youth Haven as part of a community service project to receive their Silver Awards. Nikki Pandolfi and Annalia Arndt, who will both be ninth-grade students at State High, said they began working on the project in October. The idea to make, collect and donate blankets to the Burrowes Street Youth Haven — an entity of the Youth Service Bureau that provides shelter for homeless and runaway males and females ages 12 to 18 — was an obvious choice. “It kind of started with the idea of how it’s so cold in the winter here,” Pandolfi said. “We noticed an increasing amount of people in unfortunate situations in the area. Our hearts went out to the kids who are our age and have to go through this.” “We wanted to do something to help them out,” Arndt said. Most of the material to make the blankets with, like the fleece sheets of fabric, was donated. Pandolfi and Arndt also put a donation box for gently used blankets at the State College YMCA, where 27 were collected. Some of the project requirements included at least 50 hours of work and generating community awareness. To do this,

Pandolfi and Arndt shared their project with fifth-graders at Park Forest Elementary School in January. “It gave us a chance to educate the fifthgraders and makes the blankets so much more special for the kids who are receiving them,” Pandolfi said. The students helped put the finishing touches on the 16 blankets by tying knots along their edges, Arndt said. “We wanted to spread awareness in the community by educating the fifth-graders about this and how you might not realize someone is in trouble, but you can help them out,” Arndt said. “We tried to make it so they could really understand,” Pandolfi said. This included asking the students what they think the signs are that someone is homeless. The students, Pandolfi said, replied with “dirty” and “clothes ripped.” While they agreed that that’s the case sometimes, normal-looking people might be in the same predicament. “We tried to educate them about how not all the stereotypes are true,” Arndt said. With the felt scraps from cutting the edges of blankets, Arndt made dog toys that she and Pandolfi will also donate to Pets Come First. They were able to incorporate this into their meeting with the Park Forest fifthgraders and discussed that small objects, like material scraps, can be refurbished and given a new purpose.

until they can get their Gold Awards, which will require at least 80 hours dedicated to completing a project.

Organic Farm Fest draws crowds to Grange Fairgrounds By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — The third annual Pennsylvania Organic Farm Fest was held on the Grange Fairgrounds in Centre Hall on Aug. 1 and 2. The event was hosted by Pennsylvania Certified Organics, based in Spring Mills, which is celebrating its 17th year of certifying organic farms. The fest kicked off Local Foods Week, which started on Aug. 2 and continues through Saturday, Aug. 9. According to Leslie Zuck, PCO executive director, the fest attracts about 3,000 guests. This year, the event featured longer hours to accommodate the rapid growth of the event. The Farm Fest featured indoor displays by numerous organizations and companies oriented toward organic farming and foods and sustainable agriculture. A raffle and a silent auction were also being held in the exhibit buildings. Outside, food and craft vendors were located beside the Grange Fair tents near the exhibit buildings. A petting zoo was available for the youngsters’ enjoyment, and live music entertained crowds on both days of the fest. Seminars were held on organic gardening, farming and more. A new feature of the fest this year was the wool village, a building filled with exhibitors of wool yarn products. Women spinning yarn from sheep’s wool were giving demonstrations of this ancient craft. The exhibit also included fiber farm ven-

dors from all around the state who sold handcrafted items and conducted sheepand goat-shearing demonstrations. The wool exhibit was organized by Phylleri Ball, from the Steam Valley Fiber Farm in Trout Run. Ball is a longtime yarn spinner, and has participated in the Sheep-toShawl contest at the Pennsylvania Farm Show in Harrisburg. In the food vendor area, one food stand stood out from the crowd. Clad in tuxedoes, Gavin Andrews and Evan Sarnow, of Spring Mills, are known as the Handpie Guys. The men were serving up homemade handpies filled with locally sourced meat, vegetables and fruits. They also sold sodas based on fruit syrups made from fruit grown in the Penns Valley area. All the food they use is organically grown, according to Andrews. All of the Handpie Guys’ dishware, forks and cups are made of compostable materials. Pat and Jim Unger and their granddaughter Taylor, came from Mifflinburg selling Grammy’s Caramel Corn. The family has been selling the sweet treat, which originated with a recipe from Pat Unger’s grandmother, for two years. Among the vendors in the exhibit building was Green Heron Tools, of New Tripoli. Company representative Chris Adams explained that the company markets tools designed for use mainly by women. They call the designs “hergonomic.” The HERShovel, for example, features an oversized plastic handle which allows both hands to grip the tool. It has an enlarged step on the shovel blade to make the most of women’s

The shovels are made in Pennsylvania, with the shovel blades stamped out of recycled steel and the handles molded from recycled polypropylene. “This is our first tool designed for

women,” said Adams. “We’re currently working on a digging fork and finishing up (a design for) a tiller.” Green Heron also markets a line of cutters, pruners and gardening tools, all very lightweight and easy to handle for men or women.

Dancers find true freedom at First Friday performance By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — All the world may be a stage, but Eugene Kim takes that truth more literally than most people. He’s comfortable dancing on a proper stage, but said he somehow felt more comfortable twisting his limbs like a frantic metronome on the corner of Allen Street and Beaver Avenue on Friday evening. With movements whose grace were outweighed only by their charm, Kim and other Penn State students performed with a happy urgency in front of Schlow Library for a gathering crowd. Kim said this kind of public performance has a rich tradition in

dance. “This is how hip-hop and freestyle dance got started,” Kim said. “It was people literally going out and taking it to the streets.” Kim was performing with the Raw Aesthetic Movement Squad, a club of Penn State students who practice an individualized style of freestyle dance. He said that dance is a powerful tool for self-expression. “When something is true, it’s very raw and bare bones,” Kim said, explaining the group’s name. “We’re just out there, displaying who we are.” Olivia Sparks, an out-of-town visitor from Idaho, said she’d never seen anything quite like the students’ stylishly frantic movements.

“I like how everyone has a different personality in how they dance,” Sparks said. “It gives it so much energy.” Dancer Nico Jao said it makes sense each squad member has his or her own unique approach to the style. Members of the club come from different backgrounds and different levels of dance experience. While some have no formal training, this doesn’t limit their powers of self-expression. “You have to dance what you feel, not what anyone might expect to see,” Jao said. Jennifer Zangrilli said the club was performing as part of First Fridays in State College — a series of special events, perfor-

mances and promotions at various downtown stores on the first Friday of every month. Zangrilli, operations director with Dante’s Restaraunts and an event organizer, invited the group to take it to the streets on Friday after seeing them dance on campus. “It’s important to see that art is more than just drawing or painting,” Zangrilli said. “With this, you have a different form of dance that appeals to many different people.” Jao said that dancing can be a transformative experience. As a form of self-expression, it can only reveal something about the dancer. “This is true freedom,” Jao said.

State College hosts Best of the Best car show By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Last Cruise â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best of the Bestâ&#x20AC;? car show was held in downtown State College on July 27. Spectators jammed South Allen Street, to look over 68 vehicles which were included in the invitational show. The show vehicles were judged in six classes, with one award given in each. A spectator vote, which cost $1 to cast, was also counted. The event was a fundraiser for the Centre County Youth Service Bureau through business sponsorships and the fan voting. Following the show, vehicles from the show and all around the area filled Beaver and College avenues for cruising around the block. Cruising was outlawed in town in the 1980s, but the ban is lifted once a year for this event. Included in the show were several vintage motorcycles. Among then was a gleaming black 1964 BMW R60/2 owned by Chris Hollingsworth, of Clarion. Hollingsworth calls the bike a â&#x20AC;&#x153;game room find,â&#x20AC;? since the former owner kept the bike in his basement game room between its weekly rides, which preserved it in immaculate condition. Hollingsworth bought the bike from the late ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son. A rare and unusual 1968 Italian Motobi Supersport 250 road racing bike was shown by Dan Cotter. Cotter said that very few of these bikes were imported to the United States, and they were sold as racing-only bikes. The Motobi features a single-cylinder 250cc engine laying horizontally in the frame, with rear-set foot pegs, brake and shifter pedals, and short, low handlebars to accommodate the lay-down riding posi-

tion used in road racing. Cotter removed the front fairing to allow better visibility of the engine. The bikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restoration was nearly completed when Cotter bought it less than a year ago. Michael Smith, of Boalsburg, showed a rare metallic blue 1970 Plymouth Superbird, which was a limited-production car based on the Plymouth Road Runner, but with a streamlined aluminum nose and a rear wing mounted on aircraft-style vertical fins high above the rear deck. Smith also showed a sleek black 1947 Cadillac two-door sedanette which featured a fastback-type roofline and a 346-cubic-inch flathead V-8 engine producing 150 horsepower. Only 7,245 of these cars were produced, and were expensive at $2,446 in 1947. Next to the Caddy sat a red and white 1953 Ford F-100 pickup truck owned by Robert Smith. The truck retains a stock appearance, but Smith said it has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;modernizedâ&#x20AC;? with disc brakes, radial tires, chrome bumpers and tail lights from a newer model Ford pickup. The original flathead V-8 still powers the truck. Ed and Charlene Friedman, of Boalsburg, brought their huge 1929 Lincoln Model L Tonneau-Cowl Sport Phaeton to the show. The Lincoln features a separate cowl and windshield for rear seat passengers, which lifts up to provide easy entry and exit for the passengers. Power is from a 384.8-cubic-inch L-head engine and a three-speed manual transmission. Just 298 of these cars were made for Lincoln between 1927 and 1929. The Friedmans bought the car at an auction in Hershey. The former owners, a father and son, had spent 10 years restor-

David Modricker, Ferguson Township director of public works, said bicyclists may walk their bikes around the work zone. The path will remain open to pedestrians except on the day repaving is in progress. Weather permitting, the work will require moving a section of the path under the large tree near Clinton Avenue, where the path has heaved because of tree roots. The work crew will also repair the base where the path is damaged, seal cracks, repave the length of the path with new asphalt, back up the topsoil and seed, and perform other miscellaneous work, including clearing brush, to improve visibility.

Nine Centre Inspires grant applicants move to next round

some of which could possibly stem from ideas that didn’t quite make it to this phase but would thrive with a strong partner.” Lead organizations moving on to the next phase are the Art Alliance of Central Pennsylvania, Centre County Historical Society, Child Development and Family Council of Centre County, Discovery Space of Central Pennsylvania, Global Connections, Jana Marie Foundation, New Leaf Initiative and Penns Valley Conservation Association. There are other numerous partner organizations from around Centre County that will be involved with these final project proposals. This year’s Centre Inspires’ topic revolves around projects that focus on community engagement, culture and the arts. This grant program will rotate through a six-year cycle, touching on education, environment, and health and human services. Next year’s topic will address health and human services in our community. The preliminary project ideas include musical interaction, radio spotlights, large-scale sculptures, installment pieces, historical exploration, pop-up art galleries and cultural ideas. The next phase will require applicants to formalize their partnerships, develop more detailed budgets and explain the entire scope of their proposed projects. These full applications will be due in a few weeks, then select presentations will be made to the Centre Foundation board of directors. The grant recipient will be announced at Centre Foundation’s annual dinner on Friday, Oct. 17.

STATE COLLEGE — Nine grant applicants, one of which will ultimately receive the $100,000 grant that Centre Foundation has created, have been chosen to move on to the next round of Centre Inspires. “There was a tremendous level of interest for our inaugural year of Centre Inspires,” said Molly Kunkel, Centre Foundation executive director. “Almost 40 letters of intent were submitted, which were creative in unique and exciting ways.” Since the June 30 deadline, the foundation’s Grants Committee members winnowed the stack of applicants’ letters down to a handful that will move on to the second and final round. “We were looking for new, transformative project ideas that would affect large swaths of the county and really encourage community engagement in an innovative way,” explained committee chair Blake Gall. The next round will begin immediately with in-person meetings between the applicants and foundation staff members to expand the original concept, answer questions and suggest partnerships. “Centre Inspires was designed to be a collaborative grant from start to finish, from the partners that come together to execute the idea to the groups in the community who will ultimately experience the final project,” said Sarah Sciabica, Centre Foundation grant and scholarship coordinator. “We’ve scheduled meetings to help guide them through the next phase of the application and suggest partnerships,

Historic race car returns home By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Chevrolet rocked the automotive world in 1967 when it introduced the sporty Camaro. It was designed to offer serious competition to the Ford Mustang, which had been a runaway sales success since mid-1964. Available in coupe and convertible models, the Camaro could be had with engines ranging from an economical 230-cubic-inch six-cylinder to a muscular 427-cubic-inch V-8. Drag racing had become very popular in the mid-1960s, drawing large crowds all over the country. Many factoryor dealer-sponsored racing teams traveled the drag racing circuits promoting the newest muscle cars from all the American car makers. Bellefonte resident Bob Thomas, who had years of experience in dirt track racing, contacted his friend Gene Stocker Sr. at Stocker Chevrolet, suggesting that Stocker acquire one of the new Camaros and run it at local drag races with Thomas driving. Stocker finally agreed, and ordered a white Camaro coupe with a black vinyl roof and black stripes on the hood and trunk. Under the hood was a 302-cubic-inch V-8 engine coupled to a four-speed manual transmission. The car received hand-painted lettering on its doors, naming it “Stocker’s Shocker,” along with Thomas’ name as the driver. Thomas drove the Camaro in drag races for a year with great success. He set a track record at Numidia Dragway in Numidia, Columbia County, topping out at 121 mph. It ran in the SS/E class, which was a class for factory-stock vehicles. The Camaro was sold to Jim Schaeffer, of Lewistown, in 1968, who also raced the car, racking up many wins that year.

There is a story that Steve “Hypo” Kinzer, who owned a 1968 Ford Mustang with Ford’s fire-breathing 428 Cobra Jet engine, challenged Schaeffer to a street race in Lewistown. According to the Camaro’s current owner, Joe Buono, of Fleetwood, the race drew a huge crowd of spectators. “I know a guy who was there, and he said he had to stand seven rows deep to see the race,” said Buono. “This was a big event in Lewistown.” The story goes that even the local police officers were there and did not cite anyone for law violations. The car was later traded to a dealer in western Pennsylvania and changed owners several times over the years, once had its drive train stolen, and had resided in a climate-controlled garage in Greencastle for 28 years, where Buono found it. On July 27, Buono brought the Camaro back to its original home at Stocker Chevrolet for a reunion with Thomas and Gene Stocker Jr. before taking the car to the Last Cruise Car Show in State College. Thomas shared stories of the Camaro in its glory days of racing. Stocker remembers the Camaro well. “I was 17 years old, and was driving a Chevelle SS396 coming up out of Bellefonte when I saw Bob (Thomas) in the Camaro behind me waving at me. I floored the Chevelle and he passed me like I was going backward,” said Stocker. Thomas’ son Greg, and his wife, Carol, were also at Stocker’s that day. “(Bob’s) in his glory after 47 years,” Carol Thomas said. The Camaro still wears its original white paint job and black vinyl roof. Buono said he would like to reproduce the original race car lettering on the vehicle to make it look just like it did on the drag race circuit many years ago, to preserve a piece of local racing history. He is seeking information and old photos of the car. He can be reached at boss302@ptd.net or (610) 334-5190.

Georges Valley holds community yard sales By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

GEORGES VALLEY — South of Centre Hall, between Potters Mills and Spring Mills, is the area known as Georges Valley. Upper and Lower Georges Valley roads run parallel through the area, on the north and south sides respectively, connected like rungs of a ladder by Reeder Road and Harter Road. Residents along these roads brought out their used merchandise for the Georges Valley Community Yard Sale Days on Aug. 1 and 2. A wide range of items, including household needs, furniture, appliances, clothing and toys were offered for sale. Wanda and Harry Hockenberry hosted a large family yard sale at their residence on Bible Road. The sale offered items for sale from 12 family members, and it was drawing a crowd of shoppers on Friday morning. The sale filled the Hockenberrys’ double garage, driveway, and part of their lawn. “We have a little bit of everything,” said Wanda Hockenberry.

The Hockenberrys formerly resided in Centre Hall, and held a similar sale for the town wide yard sale days there. They took this tradition with them upon moving to the Georges Valley area. On Upper Georges Valley Road, the Simkins family held a multi-family sale, hosted by Kristin Simkins, in their front yard. Many shoppers arrived to browse through the bargains. At the Locust Grove Fellowship Bible Church on Lower Georges Valley Road, Juanita and Michael Covalt were selling homemade soup and baked goods as a fundraiser for the church. According to Juanita Covalt’s father, Bob Steiger, who lives next door to the church, the community yard sale event began about a dozen years ago with a sale at the Steigers’ home. “We had stuff from 13 people there, and it just got too big to handle,” said Steiger. He credits his wife, Helen for encouraging others in the area to have sales at the same time, and the community yard sale days tradition was begun.

THE SIMKINS’ yard sale on Upper Georges Valley Road offered a wide array of items from four different families.

Ag Progress Days 2014 Donation to Pasto Museum silent auction a lucky find By CONNIE COUSINS correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

PENNSYLVANIA FURNACE — Any visit to Ag Progress Days — being held Tuesday, Aug. 12, through Thursday, Aug. 14 — should include a stop at the Pasto Agricultural Museum. There is much to see, learn and do there. To help benefit the museum’s exhibits and programs, a silent auction will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday. Bidding will close at 3 p.m. on Wednesday. Some remarkable items will be available at the auction, including a John Deere tractor donated by Valley Ag and Turf. A highlight of the auction is a framed original pen-andink drawing by Reedsville, Pa., artist Anne K. Fisher that has been donated. “Who Spilt the Milk?” depicts an Amish mother and her children. Fisher’s works hang in many buildings and homes in Pennsylvania and elsewhere. Born in 1925 and a native of Lewistown, Fisher graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 1946 with a degree in photography and art. She worked with her father and uncle at Lewistown’s Kepler Photographic Studio until 1966, when she took a job in the graphic arts department at WPSX television. In 1970, Fisher decided to become a partner in the family’s antique business and left the television station. Fisher lived among the Amish on a farm along Honey Creek in Mifflin County. She used pencils and brushes rather than a camera to document their way of life, according to an announcement from a 1995 Anne K. Fisher exhibit at Centre Furnace Mansion. “Every Saturday evening evening for the last 15 years our family has visited the family on the farm next to ours. This is a typical Old-Order Amish family and I can say truthfully say that it has taken me this long to really know and understand them. I don’t think you can paint Amish life in one summer and be reasonably understanding about it,” said Fisher, as quoted in the same exhibit announcement. Fisher’s paintings and drawings have been shown in the State Museum in Harrisburg, on the Pennsylvania State University Campus, at the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts and in the Mifflin County Library. Collections at Mennonite colleges in Kansas and Ohio also contain her works. Fisher passed away in 1977. Raymond E. Harmon wrote a book as a memorial to her life, “The Life of Iva Anne Ke-

pler Fisher.” The book was published and distributed by the Brown Township Library and Museum Association. Many copies of Fisher’s drawings are included in the book. The book was dedicated to Fisher’s three sons: Forest Kyle, Matthew Howard and Henry Scott. Forest Fisher is on the board of the Mifflin County Historical Society. John and Jane Ziegler, of State College, have donated the Fisher framed original to the Pasto Museum for the silent auction. “Jane and I were already familiar with Anne Fisher’s work and one day at Apple Hill Antiques, I spotted a drawing in a grotesque frame. I recognized it as Fisher’s work and purchased it. The Apple Hill owner said he had broken the glass while transporting the drawing and had placed it in the frame,” said Ziegler. “I told him he could keep the frame.” According to Ziegler, the drawing is expected to bring in between $1,500 and $2,000, all of which will go to the Pasto Museum for the important work done there. The Pasto Museum, in conjunction with the Centre County Historical Society and Centre Furnace Mansion, is offering the exhibit “Everyday Objects – Fancy Forms and Familiar Functions” this year. You can glimpse at life as it was in earlier agricultural times at the museum. You also can view redware, textiles, baskets, sewing implements and gardening tools that were commonplace items in most homes in the 19th century. Outside the museum, the Friends of Ohio Barns and Timber Framers Guild will cut timbers by hand, form mortise and tenon joints, and assemble a frame structure that will be the size of a garden shed. Midday on Thursday, the Pasto Museum will hold a “barn raising.” The shed will also be included in the silent auction. Other attractions at the Pasto include a poultry collection, a milk bottle collection, a history of the dairy industry exhibit and hands-on activities, such as grinding grain.

Timber frame structure to highlight Pasto Museum silent auction at Ag Progress Days UNIVERSITY PARK — A unique timber frame structure, built onsite during Penn State’s Ag Progress Days, Tuesday, Aug. 12, through Thursday, Aug. 14, will be included in the Pasto Agricultural Museum’s annual silent auction. The large shed-sized building will be constructed using historic methods and traditional tools during the show by a team of craftsmen in a demonstration area near the museum at the top of Main Street on the Ag Progress Days site. The team, led by Rudy Christian, of Burbank, Ohio, will include representatives from the Timber Framers Guild, Friends of Ohio Barns and Preservations Trades Network. In addition to showing timber frame work, the craftsmen will demonstrate the tools and techniques for creating hand-hewn timber, split shake shingles, split rail fencing and hand-riven pegs. After the show, pegs will be pulled out and the building disassembled so it can be loaded into a small truck for the

NITTANY VALLEY’S Addyson Manning heads for third base during a game against host Berwick at the 10- and 11-year-old Little League Softball All-Star Tournament. Nittany Valley won the contest, 10-0.

‘A Great Experience’

Nittany Valley Little League Softball All-Stars finish second in the state By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

BERWICK — So close. The Nittany Valley 10- and 11-year-old Little League Softball All-Stars’ amazing run at the state tournament ended with a 7-3 loss to West Point in the finals on July 30 at Ber Vaughn Park in Berwick. The Nittany Valley squad finished second in the state and was just one win away from a state title. The squad was comprised of pitcher Lexi Rogers, catcher Maddie Tice, first baseman Makenna Port, second baseman Lily Gardner, shortstop Alyssa Bickle, third baseman Jaelyn Smith, utility infielder

Madison Henning, and outfielders Molly Richendrfer, Addyson Manning, Sophia Lyons and Maddie Morelli. After several weeks of practice at Gettig Field in Pleasant Gap, the squad headed for the state tourney in Berwick. According to head coach Doug Tice, he thought his squad stood a good chance of making a run based on the way it had performed in practice. “In preparing the team for states, the coaches were pretty optimistic we could be competitive during the state tournament if we played smart softball. We were confident in our players’ abilities, but we were going into the tournament a little unsure since we were unfamiliar with the teams

we would be playing,” he said. “Half of the ladies on our team played the regular season at the major level and faced 12- and

The draw couldn’t have gotten any tougher for Nittany Valley — and Tice knew it. “We drew a team in the first round that won the state title as 9- and 10-year-olds last year, so we knew going into the game that it wasn’t going to be easy. The ladies were disappointed they lost but, given All-Stars, Page 23

Philipsburg takes charge in series with Blanchard By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

PHILIPSBURG — After going through the 2013 County League season undefeated — and then being upset by Howard in the CCBL playoffs — the Philipsburg Spike Island Pirates are back. No. 1 seed Philipsburg outscored upstart Blanchard, 6-3, on Tuesday evening to take a commanding 2-0 lead in their best-of-five, semifinal series. John Shaffer’s three-run homer and Tyler Good’s two-run single were the big blows for the Pirates. Now the series moves back to Philipsburg today, and the Bees task could be made doubly difficult with the possible availability of Pirate pitcher Josh Potter on the mound. On Sunday in Game 1, Potter was almost untouchable in Philipsburg’s 13-0 opening day win. He threw a complete game, one-hit shutout against Blanchard, with seven

strikeouts and three walks. Only two Bees — Chad Todd and Ethan McGill — advanced past first base in the game. “I think rest is good for a pitcher,” Potter said. “I had two weeks off and didn’t really throw too much and my arm felt good. The first few innings I felt really good, probably the best I felt all year, and then the last two innings I tired out a little bit. “Because I felt good going out, I was going to try to attack them with my fastball, mostly, and I was throwing them for strikes. If they were going to hit it, they were going to hit it. I felt that if I established my fast ball early on, I’d be better off and then mix in some curves and change-ups. I was throwing them all where I wanted to pretty much.” While Potter was taking care of the Blanchard hitters, the Spike Island batters were slow to come back from their twoweek layoff. Blanchard pitcher Mike Vonada matched Potter out-for-out early on, but Shaffer quickly changed that.

Philipsburg scratched a run across in the second after a walk to Shaffer, a fielder’s choice, and then an RBI single by Good. In the third, Shaffer gave Potter all the support he would need. After a single by Drew Bryan, Shaffer lofted a majestic home run far over the right-center field fence and gave the Pirates a 3-0 lead. From there, the hitting became contagious, and Spike Island scored 10 more runs over the final four innings. “That was just a good at-bat,” Shaffer said. “I was trying to get a good swing on the ball. He (Vonada) threw two sliders in a row, and the second one just happened to be there over the plate, and I connected with it. I knew it was either going to be caught or gone, and I was hoping the second one.” The Pirates essentially put the game away in the fifth when they sent 10 men to the plate and added five runs. A.J. Robinson, Brandon Myers, Lance Thompson and Matt Curtis all had RBI hits in the in-

ning as Philipsburg built an 8-0 lead. Five more runs in the sixth completed the 13-run Spike Island outburst. For Philipsburg in the game, Bryan had three hits to lead the offense, while Curtis, Robinson, Myers and Thompson all had two. Curtis, Bryan, Shaffer and Thompson combined to drive in 10 of the Pirates 13 runs. “Especially after a long layoff, to come in and get a pitching performance from Josh like that,” Pirate coach Tyler Good said, “and get a couple runs that knocked the rust off our bats. It was good to get back on the field, and that was a great start for us.” In the other CCBL semi-final, Pleasant Gap came back on Tuesday with a 5-4 win over No. 3 Clarence that tied the series 1-1. Clarence battered the Peppers 16-3 in Sunday’s first game, but Pleasant Gap’s Devin Alterio delivered a three-run double on Tuesday that propelled the Peppers to their series-tying win.

PSU hoops: Changing of the guard By MATT BORTNER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — In the era of one and done, early departures to the NBA, and transfers, it is not that often you see a college basketball team’s star player, especially one in a power conference, play all four years at his university. However, that was exactly what Penn State had in point guard Tim Frazier. Frazier was a member of the Nittany Lions basketball team for five years because of a medical redshirt in his senior season due to a ruptured Achilles tendon. The captain and leader of the Nittany Lions squad the last two seasons, he finished his career at Penn State as the all-time leading assist man (641 assists) and the seventh all-time scorer (1543 points). With Frazier gone, senior captains D.J. Newbill and Ross Travis have taken it upon themselves to push this year’s squad to the limit. In particular, Penn State will look to Newbill to be the spark plug for this team. He is fresh off trips to Kevin Durant’s and LeBron James’ invitation-only summer basketball camps to improve upon his game and his leadership skills. “The tournament, that’s our team’s goal,” said Newbill, “So I talked to a lot of the guys that were on tournament teams last year. A lot of the guys were just telling me how they play a lot of pickup basketball, how they do everything together, go home together and hang out together. That is something I want to implement.” Newbill continued to stress how important it is that the team play as much basketball together as possible. Thankfully, his wishes have been granted fairly easily as the team, including incoming freshman, are residing in State College this summer. A transfer from Southern Mississippi just two years ago, Newbill looks to put an exclamation point on an already successful career at Penn State. In those two years, he has led the squad in scoring each season with a career average of 17 points per game and was second last year in scoring in the Big Ten with 17.8 points per game. To continue his success and to get the team where they want to be, Newbill realizes that he must improve upon his own game, aside from his leadership abilities. When asked what he has been honing in on this offseason, Newbill had plenty of answers. “My shot, you can’t get enough reps, keep working on my form, my release, free throw percentage, my on-ball defense and communicating on the court,” he said.

TIM WEIGHT/Gazette file photo

THE DEPARTURE of Tim Frazier (23) means that players like D.J. Newbill (2) will have to step up and be one of Penn State’s leaders on the hardwood. If Newbill can improve in all of those parts of his game, Penn State becomes a better team. But, the Nittany Lions are going to need more than Newbill’s best efforts to become better as a team. Travis is one of the players that Penn State will look to for support. Travis has shown flashes of quality basketball for Pat Chambers, notably his freakish athleticism and his rebounding prowess (seven rebounds per game last season). On the offensive side of the ball, Travis woos the crowd with thunderous dunks and put backs, but consistency has been an issue because of a suspect jump shot. In his three seasons at Penn State, he averages only 6.6 points per game. “Last season I played a lot with my back to the basket so

I definitely kept that aspect of my game alive,” said Travis. “I’m really working on my ball handing and jump shot, definitely that 15-foot jump shot and a little bit of the three ball.” Replacing Frazier is no short order. However, Newbill’s job becomes a lot easier with a set of players ready to learn. Newbill believes his team has the makeup to get the job done. He is impressed by the team’s work ethic this offseason, especially from the underclassmen. “I can’t remember seeing a group this talented or compete at the level they do,” said Newbill. “Usually you kind of have to bring them along and show them the way, but they are coming in right away like I want to play some minutes and I appreciate that.”

New trio finally in place for Penn State UNIVERSITY PARK — After Sandy Barbour was introduced as Penn State’s new athletic director, the crowd moved out from the media room at Beaver Stadium and onto the field. Barbour, Penn State President Eric Barron and head football coach James Franklin gathered together for photos near the south end zone. Moments like this one are essentially PR-fueled opportunities, and that’s fine, but they typically don’t interest me at all. But this one was different, so I followed everyone through the tunnel. This moment was different because it was the first time in years that Penn State’s head football coach, athletic director and president were all together and none of them had the “interim” tag attached. The previous trio (Joe Paterno, Graham Spanier, Tim Curley) had been John Patishnock in their respective positions at Penn covers news and State for nearly 80 years; it’s almost sports for The 100 years if you count Paterno’s years Centre County as an assistant. Gazette. Email Granted, Barron had a previous him at sports@ centrecounty stop at Penn State, so he’s not necesgazette.com sarily new, but in their current posiand follow him tions, he, Franklin and Barbour had on Twitter @ all been on the job for less than a year johnpatishnock. when Barbour was hired a few weeks ago. This is no small point. A handful of Penn State coaches were on hand — five by my count, though I may have missed someone — and I talked to Rob Cooper (baseball) and Jeff Tambroni (men’s lacrosse) afterward. Both shared responses that I thought were very insightful. Cooper relayed a story of how he and Barbour were at Tulane at the same point years ago; Barbour was the athletic director and Cooper an assistant coach, and Barbour walked across the field to introduce herself to Cooper after he first started. For her to take time and meet Cooper meant a lot to him, he said, and it showed that she was aware and interested in what was happening within the athletic department. And Tambroni mentioned how having some consistency in place at Penn State will benefit not only his team, but all the sports programs. Therein lies the biggest point of all: Penn State’s coaches all just got a new boss. This may seem obvious, but

JOHN PATISHNOCK

mostly, reporters asked Barbour questions on a macro level: the possible unionization of college athletes, poor graduation rates among some teams at her previous stop in California, why she thinks she’s qualified, etc. As much as some fans, alums and writers disagree with the decision to hire Barbour, that’s not of consequence, because their opinions, largely, don’t matter. What really needs folks’ attention is how Barbour interacts with Penn State’s head coaches and student-athletes, and how she works with fellow conference leaders and national athletic administrators. What I found most interesting during the day was something Barron told me after the formal Q&A. I asked him how often people making this type of hire select someone who was the “first and unanimous choice,” which is what Barron said Barbour was. His response? “Never,” and he said it so incredulously it made me wonder if he was surprised Penn State was able to hire someone fairly quickly and with such uniformity. If you have faith in Barron — and I think that’s easy to do — then you have faith in the hire. I don’t think Penn State football is in danger of having a poor record because Cal’s football team won only one game last year. Nor do I think grade scores and graduation rates will plummet. Penn State has great resources and great people already in place, and mainly, I think Barbour just has to take advantage of everything in front of her.

She’s walking into a much different situation at Penn State than she did at Cal, where she needed to finance a stadium renovation and deal with wavering fan support for football — Cal had lukewarm attendance for some games

Fish Open winners crowned at Philipsburg Elks CC PHILIPSBURG — Due to heavy thunderstorms that rolled through the Philipsburg area, the Fish Open was reduced to a nine-hole event this year. The event attracted 122 amateurs and 14 golf course professionals, representing 18 country clubs. Toftrees’ Chris Snyder carded a round of 33 to edge Philipsburg’s Adam Timchak, Clearfield’s Clayton Shadeck and Philipsburg’s Nate Lucas by a stroke to capture the 19th annual event in the gross division. Winning the net division was Nittany Country Club’s Scott McKee, shooting a 30, while fellow course member Barry Reese carded a net score of 31 for second. Four players tied for third, shooting a nine-hole score of 33: Tony Nastase and Bill Luther, both of Nittany, and Bo Sankey and Dave Byron, both of Philipsburg.

Philipsburg. Six players carded rounds of 35 to tie for fifth in gross: Brian Short, Penn State; Garrett Bastardi, Mountain View; Sean Kaczynski, Clinton; Michael Czap, Philipsburg (the 2008 and 2011 champion); Trent Miller, Belles Springs; and Pat Brown, Philipsburg (the 1999 champion). The team net was won by Reese, McKee, Ron Horner and Dave Smith shooting a 60, while Drew Tocimak, Wasilko, John Burns and Byron placed second with a 63. There was a four-way tie for third with a round of 65 by the teams of Doug Goss, P.J. Chieppor, Bill Jones and Slugger Gette; Keith Hahn, Jeff Martell, Kevin Hahn and Joe Soltis; Mike Witters, Sam Irvin, Arch Myers and Sankey; and Fred Lucas, Tony Nastase, Sam Nastase and Bud O’Brien. A tie existed for the team gross with a 69 between the foursomes of Sean Kaczynski, Judd Caruso, Greg Kight and Luther, and Timchak, Jarrod Benton, Zach Czap and Scott Nelson. Shooting 70s for a two-way tie for third were the teams of Michael Czap, Gary Helsel, Pat Brown and Jim Dixon along with Chris Snyder, Jim Bierly, Bastardi and John Gibbons. Philipsburg golf professional Paul Fischer created the event in 1996 to help take the pressure off the golfing professionals in the area who work from late March until early November and need a break from the rigors of their profession. The 19th annual Fish Open Pro-Am even had its own sponsors in Dux Head Environmental Services and Senergy Marketing Group. “I wish I could tell you why so many come from all over for this event,” said Fischer. “It is not the most prestigious

event, it is not the best-paying tournament, but it has just gotten bigger and better every year. “We started in 1996 with 10 professionals and 30 amateurs,” continued Fischer. “After a few down years of only 24, then 28, the next few years it has kept growing and growing. This is the eighth year in a row we had 136 players. Pat Terpak came up from Maryland, a foursome from Kane Country Club in McKean County, southeast of Erie, a foursome from Hershey Country Club. We had other guys who drove up from Harrisburg. “It blows my mind that it has grown into such an incredible event,” added Fischer. “All I can do is tell you ask around to some of the players and ask them why they come up. I got an email Thursday morning that sums it up and it said, ‘Thanks Fish for yet again another great time. Best event of the year! We can’t wait to play next year.’”

SENIOR EVENT HELD AT WILLIAMSPORT

Facing the largest field of the season on the NCPGA Senior Tournament Series held at the Williamsport Golf Club, Bucknell Golf Club’s Ben Cook was quite impressive, cruising to his second victory of the season in the 50- to 59-year-old division. Cook carded four birdies to only one bogey on his way to a 3-under-par 68. His 68 was five shots clear of Lost Creek’s Frank Richelderfer, who finished alone in second place. Mountain View’s Kevin Treese (81), Nittany’s Richard Knepp (82) and Alan Capparelle (100) finished in the top 10 in the division. The 60- to 69-year-old division found Bill Byrne, of the host club, on top of the leaderboard with a 7-over-par 78. Nittany’s Chuck Colyer was only two shots off of the pace for second place in the division with an 80. Nittany’s Joe E. Worrick (80), along with Toftrees’ Terry Cooper (90), Jerry Lauchle (92) and Ken Campbell (96) finished in the top 10 in the 60- to 69-year-old division. The defending points champion in the 70- to 79-yearold division, Gary Fry, of Bucknell, finally found his spot on top of the leaderboard. Fry fired a 2-over-par 73 for his first victory of the season and bettered his next closest competitor by seven strokes. Gene Christina (80) and Marvin Reeves (84) completed the trio of Bucknellians leading the way in the flight. Mountain View’s M. Edward Schon posted a round of 99 in the division. White Deer’s Stanly Winner and Eagles Mere’s John Hirsch finished tied for first in the 80 and older division carding 102 over the very challenging layout of the Williamsport Country Club.

NCPGA SENIOR TOUR AT TYOGA COUNTRY CLUB

For the second time this season, Bucknell Golf Club has been represented on top of the leaderboard in each of the four flights of the NCPGA Senior Tournament Series. Ben Cook, Tim Harpster, Gary Fry and Boyd Mertz were victorious in their respective divisions at the Tyoga Country Club. Cook and Fry both landed their second wins of the week as they both also won on Monday at the Williamsport Country Club.

Johnstown’s Angie Mosbrucker carded a round of 85 to win the girls’ division, while Jerome Landry, of Hollidaysburg, posted a 75 to win the boys’ 16- to 18-year-old division. The boys’ 13- to 15-year-old division was won by Matt Krupa, of Huntingdon, with an 83, while winning the boys 10- to 12-year-old division was John Imgrund.

ELLIOTT WINS

Nittany Country Club’s Tiernan Elliott won the boys 5- to 9-year-old age division in the recently held Northeast Junior Golf Tour stop at Belles Springs Golf Course in Mackeyville. He carded a round of 30. Nittany’s Daniel Zimmerman came in eighth with a 94, while Zackery Mothersbaugh placed 11th while carding a 105, in the boys’ 16- to 18-year-old division. Jeremy Pannebaker, of Lost Creek, and Jacob Lenhart, of Wynding Brook, tied for the top spot in the division, posting rounds of 80. The boys’ 13- to 15-year-old division had a three-way tie by Ryan Miller, of Wynding Brook, and White Deer’s William Knauth and Kohltin Barlow. They shot rounds of 79. The boys’ 10- to 12-year-old division was won by Pine Hills’ Michael Maslanka’s round of 48 over nine holes. The girls’ 15- to 18-year-old division was won by Katie Behnert, of Wynding Brook, who posted a 77, while Nittany’s Kaitlyn Vogel was second, shooting a 90. Lisa Lewis, of White Deer, won the girls’ 5- to 10-year-old division, posting a nine-hole score of 33.

Chambers lands big recruit

Trio, from page 19 last year, drawing fewer than 42,000 for a home contest against Arizona. Quite a few athletic facilities at Penn State are new or relatively new (built or upgraded in the last 15 years), and as my friend and Penn State marketing and sports guru Loren Crispell remarked on Twitter a few weeks ago, Penn State may very well be in a golden era of coaches. What this means is that Barbour doesn’t have to fix or repair something, just keep it going. Maybe some people think she wasn’t a big-time hire, but you can’t say Barbour isn’t qualified. In time, I think she’ll end up doing a good, and possibly great, job, and I wouldn’t be surprised if some fans forget her name after the sports season starts and the football team wins a few games. That’s not a knock against her, and in some ways, it’s a compliment. Barbour doesn’t need to stand out as much as she needs to integrate herself into the Penn State and State College communities. During the press conference, Barbour told everyone she was “all in” over and over again. Seemingly a prerehearsed sound byte, but not necessarily a bad attitude to have, especially for a university that’s ready to settle down, and as Tambroni said, find some consistency.

Leading the way in the 50- to 59-year-old division, Cook posted a two over par 73. Belles Springs’ Gary Dolan pressed Cook for the title, but came up one shot short with a 74. Ray Wheeland, of Corey Creek, carded a 77 for third place. Playing in only his fourth event of the season, Harpster earned his fourth victory in the 60- to 69-year-old division as he fired a level par 71, bettering his next nearest competitor, Susquehanna Valley’s John Pagana, by six shots. Bucknell Golf Club was also represented in third place as Jim Cotner finished eight shots back with a 79. Nittany’s Chuck Colyer carded a round of 80 for a fourth place finish in the 60- to 69-year-old division, while Mountain View’s Bill Fleckenstein placed fifth, shooting an 82. The 70- to 79-year-old division found Bucknell’s Fry holding off fellow Bucknell member Dick Williamson by one shot as they carded 75 and 76, respectively. Tom Rudy, of the host club, was the only obstacle in the way of a Bucknell sweep of the top five places. Rudy found his way around his home course in 78 strokes to finish alone in third place. Mertz once again led the way in the 80 and older division. His 98 was enough for victory, as Eagles Mere’s John Hirsch struggled with a 111.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State coach Patrick Chambers has long said that he simply needs a “yes” to get the program headed in the right direction. Chambers landed his third “yes” of the past year with the commitment of four-star prospect and 6-foot-7-inch forward Joe Hampton on Saturday. Hampton ranks No. 60 in the Rivals Top 150 and is the third commitment out of Penn State’s last four to be rated within the Rivals Top 150 and at the four-star level. While Hampton is Penn State’s first commit of the 2016 haul, he will eventually join fellow Nittany Lion commits Josh Reaves, Mike Watkins and Deividas Zemgulis in Happy Valley. Watkins and Reaves are both rated in the Rivals Top 150 at the 114 and 119 spots, respectively. ESPN has rated both players in its Top 100. If all four of Penn State’s currently committed players sign on the dotted line come National Signing Day, this summer will be remembered as the most productive effort on the recruiting trail in program history. Hampton is easily one of the highest-rated players the program has ever signed, although memories of the oncecommitted Trey Burke will forever make the Nittany Lion faithful cautious about getting too excited too early. Fans worried about keeping Hampton at Penn State should find comfort in two items. Chambers, Page 21

Media day notebook: Lions prepare for Ireland By MATT BORTNER sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State will open its season against Central Florida on Saturday, Aug. 30, at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland. The game will take place at 1:30 p.m. local time in Dublin, which is five hours ahead of State College. Penn State head coach James Franklin is aware of how different it is from a normal away game and has taken into consideration all that goes into the process. Luckily, other members of the Penn State athletics staff have had experience with athletics on the international level. Franklin said he spoke to women’s soccer coach Erica Walsh, who has helped coach women’s national teams, and head athletic trainer Tim Bream, who has international experience with football. He also said the university has reached out to participants in last year’s Ireland game from Navy and Notre Dame.

HACK ATTACK

Big Ten Freshman of the Year Christian Hackenberg proved to the conference last year why he was considered the number one pocket passing quarterback in the 2013 recruiting class. As a true freshman, Hackenberg threw for an impressive 2,955 yards and 20 touchdowns. Despite losing his top receiving target, Allen Robinson (97 receptions, 1432 yards, 6 touchdowns), Hackenberg is feeling as confident as ever and said he has not been affected by the spotlight. “I am just trying to be the best team-

mate I can be and trying to get these guys to really buy into what we are doing as an offense,” said Hackenberg. As far as the learning curve that comes with a new staff and offense, Franklin is not worried about Hackenberg picking up the offense. Franklin said his offensive scheme has many similarities to former head coach Bill O’Brien’s scheme. Cornerback Jordan Lucas talked about the “wow” factor that Hackenberg gives off. Lucas said it is not crazy seeing him fit throws into dime-sized areas anymore because it has become such a common occurrence. He also talked about Hackenberg’s development as a player. “He has much more confidence and you can see that in the way he walks, talks and calls his plays,” said Lucas. “He has the offense down and I know he is ready to get out there and play football again.”

TIGHT END PRODUCTION

Franklin believes that the biggest step to improving Hackenberg’s game is to improve all the pieces around him. Robinson accounted for 46 percent of Hackenberg’s completions last season and with his early departure to the NFL, Hackenberg will be looking for production elsewhere. “I actually think where a lot of the makeup from the production that we lost will come from the tight ends,” said Franklin. “I believe that’s where we have the most veteran players, experience and depth.” Last year, O’Brien said that he believed the team had five tight ends that could make a roster in the NFL — Adam Breneman, Kyle Carter, Jesse James, Brent Wilkerson and Mike Lehman. The group as unit

PENN STATE quarterback Christian Hackenberg told the media he’s as confident as ever in his abilities to lead the Nittany Lions, despite the loss of wide receiver Allen Robinson. had a down season in terms of numbers, partly because of the production of Robinson, but the 2012 season showed how dynamic the group can be. The Nittany Lions lost Mike Lehman to graduation, but Breneman, Carter, James and Wilkerson all return. Breneman and Carter were limited at times due to injuries last season, but still showed flashes of their potential and should factor greatly in the passing game. James was the most productive of the tight end corps with 333 yards

of talented players than it is to convince one good player he has made the right decision. That, plus the fact Hampton will be playing alongside another future Nittany Lion, should help keep both recruiting classes together. Even if the program’s history of hanging on to recruits has caused some to maintain a modest level of excitement, it certainly seems as though Chambers has been able to

receiving and three touchdowns, and he impressed coaches during the offseason. Wilkerson did not see any action on the field last season because of a back injury but is now a full go. Penn State also will add highly coveted tight end recruit Mike Gesicki to the mix this year. “They will be able to eat up safeties and linebackers and I think that will allow the receivers to have more one-on-one opportunities and they are going to be able to go out and make plays,” said Hackenberg.

turn a corner on the recruiting trail in ways his predecessors so frequently failed to do. The summer of historic recruiting may still have a chapter to add, though, as 2015 recruit and four-star prospect Levan Alston named the Nittany Lions among his Top 6 in the running to land his services. Alston is rated No. 105 in the Rivals Top 150.

Coach Franklin is ready for 2014 out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The staff has done a great job of preparing. The players have been unbelievable. We are going to prepare for Central Florida, and last night I addressed the team that it will be here before we know it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our focus right now is on becoming the best Penn State we can be, but there will come a point, about two weeks into camp, where we will flip the switch and start game preparation for Central Florida.â&#x20AC;? All Penn State fans know about the constraints under which the football team has been working. The scholarship limits and bowl ban are still in effect, albeit somewhat eased by the NCAA last fall. The team will have 10 fewer scholarship players than any team it plays, and the Lions will have to rely on many young and inexperienced players â&#x20AC;&#x201D; probably even some true freshmen and walk-ons â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to supply depth to the 15 returning starters and 38 lettermen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is interesting is that there are similarities (with his first Vanderbilt camp),â&#x20AC;? Franklin said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;from a depth perspective but for different reasons. The same problem. One of the things different at Penn State is that here we have a walk-on tryout and 175 guys show up. That creates opportunities. Numbers are a powerful thing, just like 107,000 people in the stadium is a powerful tool, having 175 guys show up for a tryout allows us to be really selective. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all know there are walk-ons all over

UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; First and foremost, James Franklin is a football coach, and in 23 short days he will finally take to the sidelines for the first time as the head coach at Penn State. Hired in February to replace Bill Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, Franklin has been a whirlwind. He is seemingly everywhere, talking up the university, its academic and athletic programs, and especially its football program. He has already proven to be an unabashed supporter of everything about Penn State, a staunch family Pat Rothdeutsch man, a skillful motivacovers sports for tor and a relentless reThe Centre County Gazette. Email him cruiter. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to at sports@ play some football. centrecounty Franklin opened his gazette.com first pre-season camp after this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Media Day on Monday afternoon, and now the focus has switched squarely onto the Nittany Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; performance on the field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, very exciting,â&#x20AC;? Franklin said at the start of his press conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been seven months since we arrived, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten a lot of work done in a short period of time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting to get going, working with these guys day in and day

PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

we lost will come from the tight ends,â&#x20AC;? Franklin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where we have the most veteran players, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where we have the most experience and depth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am excited about those young guys (wide receivers), but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what it is right now. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all based on what they did in high school and what they did when they arrived on campus, and what the other players are saying about them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purely just excitement based on potential. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see how things play out, but right now that production will have to come from the receivers returning and the tight ends.â&#x20AC;? The team, however, is not without its strong suits. Hackenberg, of course, Belton, Zwinak, Lynch, the defense in general (especially the D-line and backfield), the tight ends and improved team speed. According to Franklin, 11 players run a sub4.5 40. There will be a new punter, with the competition there crowded and fierce, and Sam Ficken returns as kicker, although he has competitors as well. As far as special teams in general â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a glaring area of weakness in 2013 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Franklin said that â&#x20AC;&#x153;everyone on the teamâ&#x20AC;? will have roles to play on those units. So, in 23 days, it will be time to play. We will have to see if the enthusiasm and confidence that Franklin, his staff and his team have shown so far will carry on to the field. Central Florida counted as one of the Nittany Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; losses last season, and it looks like we will begin to find that out right away.

the country who have had huge impacts and even gone on to play in the NFL, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited about the effects those guys are going to have on our program.â&#x20AC;? Franklin and his assistants also addressed the two areas that have the most pressing needs going into the 2014 season â&#x20AC;&#x201D; offensive line and wide receiver. The offensive line seems especially critical. Sophomore quarterback Christian Hackenberg needs protection as well as time to throw, and running backs Bill Belton, Zach Zwinak and Akeel Lynch need room to run. And that all begins with the O-line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if I feel any better or any worse (about the offensive line),â&#x20AC;? Franklin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some guys who have gotten bigger and stronger. I do think the fact that we have a defensive line that we have confidence in is going to be helpful because iron sharpens iron. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are going out there every day against what we think is a quality defensive line and it will show us where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at. I do feel really good now in terms of what we are going to do calling the offense. We have a really experienced offensive line coach, and that is helpful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have little bit better depth at center and guard, I think, than we do at tackle. That will be the challenge.â&#x20AC;? At wide receiver, it will be all about replacing the production of Allen Robinson, who was arguably the best receiver in the Big Ten the past two seasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually think the make-up for what

August 7-13, 2014 All-Stars, from page 18 their performance, it confirmed they belonged at the state tournament,â&#x20AC;? Tice said. At the conclusion of the game, the West Point coaches gave the Nittany Valley squad some extra motivation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ironically, the coaches from West Point, when shaking hands at the end of that game, told us they would see us Wednesday (in the state final), so that served as extra motivation for the team to prove them correct,â&#x20AC;? Tice said matter-of-factly. The very next day, Nittany Valley began its run through the loserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bracket. With the game against West Point in the loss column, there was no room for error. On July 26, Nittany Valley took care of business against host Berwick, 10-0, as it notched its first win of the tournament. On July 27, Nittany Valley hammered DuBois, 13-3. That win meant that Nittany Valley had survived the weekend. On July 28, Nittany Valley stopped Lower Perkiomen in a 3-0 nail biter.

The Centre County Gazette Nittany Valley headed into the July 29 game with Nanticoke needing a win to make it to the July 30 title game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a potential two-game matchup with then-unbeaten West Point in the double-elimination tourney. The squadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ace hurler â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rogers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; made certain that Nittany Valley would get a rematch as she tossed a no-hitter in a 5-0 victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize she threw a no-hitter against Nanticoke until they announced it at the end of the game,â&#x20AC;? Tice said. According to Tice, the no-hitter was the result of non-stop dedication by Rogers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has worked so hard this past year to improve her pitching and to throw more than just a fastball. She has three pitches she regularly throws for strikes, something batters donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see too often at this level, which gives her a huge advantage. In my personal opinion, she was hands down, the most dominant pitcher at the state tournament,â&#x20AC;? Tice said. As a result of losing its first game at the tournament, Nittany Valley had to play

Page 23

more games than any other team in Berwick. According to Tice, that paid dividends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Though you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to lose your first game in a tournament, losing that first game was probably a blessing in disguise,â&#x20AC;? Tice explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gave our team the opportunity to play more games than any other team at the tournament and as we won, our teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confidence increased.â&#x20AC;? Nittany Valley played a total of 41 innings during the tournament and Rogers pitched 40 of them, striking out 67 batters along the way. In the re-match with West Point, Nittany Valley trailed, 3-1, heading into its final at-bat. Down, but certainly not out, the squad rallied to knot the game at 3-3 and force extra innings. In the bottom of the eighth, Nittany Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Henning drew a bases-loaded walk to force in the winning run. The 4-3 win forced a final and deciding game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a game that neither team wanted to lose,â&#x20AC;? Tice explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;West Point needed one win for a state title and we had to win in order to stay alive. Up to that

game, West Point had not lost a game in the last two years.â&#x20AC;? But Nittany Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magical run came to an end in the nightcap. A 7-3 loss gave West Point another title. Despite some tears as the players from both squads were announced for a final time, Tice said that the girls will remember the experience as a positive one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a great experience that each of the ladies will remember for the rest of their lives. The coaches told them at the end of the last game not to take this moment (state tournament) for granted and assume it will happen every year,â&#x20AC;? Tice said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They should be very proud of their performance, as there are only eight teams that make the state tournament each year and we finished as the second-best 10-11 softball team in the state.â&#x20AC;?

Blue Band director Bundy announces retirement UNIVERSITY PARK — O. Richard Bundy, the man whose name has been associated with the Penn State Blue Band for more than 30 years, will be retiring effective July 1, 2015. “Dr. Bundy has demonstrated exceptional support of student learning throughout his time on the faculty,” said Sue Haug, director of the School of Music. “He makes extraordinary efforts to engage and encourage students — music majors as well as Blue Band and Concert Band members, most of whom are not music majors. With around 300 members in the Blue Band, it is remarkable that Dr. Bundy knows every student’s name, and often their major and where they are from. He looks over every Blue Band student’s GPA at the end of fall semester to make sure that priorities are maintained. It is clear that the welfare of the students always come first with him.” Bundy was a graduate assistant with the Blue Band from 1980-1983. He served as acting assistant director of the band from 1983 to 1987, when he was named assistant director. He was named director in 1996. During his tenure, the band moved into its first permanent home on campus, the Blue Band Building, which opened in 2004. The Blue Band previously operated from staff offices located in the Music Building, and equipment was stored in trailers located on the edge of the practice field. In addition to directing the Blue Band and overseeing the college’s other athletic bands, he

is director of the concert band and teaches courses in conducting, marching band techniques, instrumental music education and band literature. The College of Arts and Architecture is launching a nationwide search for his replacement. “As I think about Dr. Bundy, devoted faculty member and Penn State alumnus, I think of a man who has lived the words of his alma mater. Certainly he is one ‘who loves thy name’ and whose life has ‘swelled her fame.’ He has contributed so much to the School of Music and to the university — and has done it with incredible humility and integrity. These will be very big shoes to fill,” Haug said. Bundy said he hasn’t had a chance to think about his final season yet. “I’m sure it’s going to be emotional at times, as I think of doing things with the band for the last time. I think it will mean a great deal to be able to have this final season with the band, and to take some satisfaction in having represented Penn State well. I will enjoy working with this last group of students as we get ready to go forward and do the best job we can for Penn State.” An active guest conductor and adjudicator, Bundy, professor of music education, has conducted ensembles and presented clinics throughout the eastern United States and Canada. He is a member of the College Band Directors National Association, Music Educators National Conference, Pennsylvania Music Educators Association, Phi Beta Mu and Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia. He is a past president of the Eastern Division

of CBDNA and Phi Beta Mu, Nu Chapter. He received his undergraduate degree in music education from Penn State and, after receiving a master’s degree from The University of Michigan, returned to Penn State for his doctoral degree. Prior to his appointment to the faculty, he served as trombonist with the United States Continental Army Band and as band director/instrumental music instructor in the Iroquois School District in Erie. In 2009, Bundy received the President’s Award for Engagement with Students. In 2013, he was honored with the Alumni Fellow Award, the highest award given by the Penn State Alumni Association. “I had the pleasure of spending time with the Blue Band at the 2009 Rose Bowl game and Rose Parade. The students’ performances on the field and in the parade certainly demonstrated very high expectations and excellent preparation, but it was off the field that most impressed me. He models, expects and therefore receives the best citizenship from the students and that, in turn, ensures that they represent Penn State in an exemplary fashion. This is not something to take lightly,” Haug said. “Dr. Bundy is one of the most influential people in my life,” said Ian Kenney, Blue Band drum major from 2010-12 and current band director at Sussex Technical High School in Georgetown, Del. “I’m so thankful to have had the experience of working closely with Dr. Bundy for three years.

PENN STATE’S O. Richard Bundy has announced his retirement as director of the Blue Band. He will complete the 2014 football season, with his retirement effective July 1, 2015. There are few finer examples of character, humility, musicianship and leadership in this world.” In retirement, Bundy will have a lot to keep him busy. “My plans include addressing the ‘honey-do’ list my wife has been compiling for 35 years,” he joked, adding, “I do have some longstanding interests such as photography, woodworking and learning to play guitar that I look forward to having time to pursue in retirement, and I hope to get

back to performing on trombone — something that has been on the back burner for quite some time.” He also plans to travel, and to spend time with his four children and five grandchildren. “I’m sure I’ll be nostalgic on Saturdays during the fall of 2015,” the first season after he retires, Bundy said. “I’m a Penn Stater at heart and will always be cheering on the students and staff of the Blue Band as they continue to ‘raise the song’ for the university we love.”

Voice actor/musician joins roster of Comic Con talent WILLIAMSPORT — Eric Stuart, who has voiced characters for such hit shows as “Pokémon” and “Yu-Gi-Oh!” and toured with rock legends such as Peter Frampton and Ringo Starr, will be among the industry luminaries at Pennsylvania College of Technology’s Wildcat Comic Con, to be held Saturday, Sept. 27. A frequent VIP at such events due to his high-profile resume, the Brooklyn, N.Y.-born Stuart is nonetheless grounded and humbled by his success. “For every ‘Pokémon’ I have worked on, there are 25 shows that never went anywhere,” he said. “To be a big part of pop culture is amazing. Hearing fans say, ‘You are the voice of my childhood’ means more to me than you know. When your show is known by 5-year-olds and grandparents alike, you know you’re doing something right.” One of Stuart’s favorite stories is from a “con” earlier this year in Miami, where a fan — “maybe 25, tall, very pretty and carrying herself with confidence” — approached him with her graphic artist fiancé. When she was 15, the young woman reminded him, she had asked for an interview to satisfy a writing assignment. “She was very shy and had no friends at school. She couldn’t believe that I said, ‘Yes.’ I answered her questions about the voiceover business and sent it to her,” Stuart recalled. “She then told me that, when she read the paper in class, her classmates were so impressed that she was able to get an interview with me that she became quite popular, and her confidence in herself grew. “The best part was this: She had saved the paper and asked me to autograph it. I have to say it was quite moving. That just puts the power of celebrity into perspective. Do not abuse it … and remember that you can influence many. Pay it forward.” Because of the Wildcat Comic Con’s college connection, the event is more education-centered than most. Reflecting that mission, Stuart offers a number of pointers from his varied career. “One of the things I believe in is in learning in the form of shadowing — being an assistant, an intern. If you want to be a great carpenter, you find a great carpenter and ask to learn from him/her in return for sweeping up the shop, etc.,” he said. “By being around that expert, you will learn not just the classroom lesson, but also the life lesson.” He said he had the opportunity to do that in a recording studio, where hands-on experience taught him so much. “There are few things you can throw at me that I haven’t had to deal with in production,” he said, noting that voiceover work, in particular, doesn’t always allow for lei-

surely study. “I have recorded many, many shows where I walk into the booth and the director says something like, ‘I know you can do some accents, so, today, you are playing a French gopher.’ Unlike a play or a movie, we voice actors don’t get a lot of prep. So to prepare, I say, ‘Be prepared for anything.’” His versatility — and his classic rock ‘n’ roll style — resulted in a summer of 1997 invitation to open the Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band tour, featuring Frampton, Jack Bruce (Cream), Gary Brooker (Procol Harum) and Simon Kirke (Bad Company). That exposure served as a springboard for him to open for the Lynyrd Skynyrd/Kenny Wayne Shepherd/Paul Rodgers tour that same summer. Stuart has toured regularly since then, including two U.S. stints with Frampton who co-produced his album, “Blue, Dressed in Black.” The Grammy-winning Frampton is also featured on the Eric Stuart Band’s 2013 release, “Lipstick and Barbed Wire,” the band’s sixth full-length recording on the independent Widow’s Peak Records label. “If you have a passion for your craft, find ways to supplement your income so that you do not put financial pressure on your art,” said Stuart, who now lives in Nashville, Tenn., and works with many of that city’s finest songwriters. “I became a voice actor and director so that I could play original music and take advantage of great opportunities that came my way that might not have been great-paying gigs … but how do you say ‘no’ to touring with a Beatle? “I consider success getting up to bat and trying,” he added. “The pot of gold is a nice bonus, but if you put your heart into the pursuit, that is success to me. Enjoy the journey.” Attendees at the third Wildcat Comic Con will have the opportunity to enjoy more than that. Stuart is scheduled to headline two morning workshops at the event — Voice Acting 101 and Voice Directing/Producing/Adaptation/Writing — both featuring wide-ranging opportunities in the field: audiobooks, industrial narration, commercials, radio, cartoons and even telephone prompts. In addition to his role as a presenter, Stuart will perform in a solo acoustic show. More information on this year’s programming is available at http://wildcatcomiccon.pct.edu. “This year’s event has a terrific lineup of award-winning presenters, as well as recognized new talent making a difference in the comics and gaming industries,” said Joann L. Eichenlaub, assistant director of library services at the college’s Madigan Library and a member of the Wildcat

I wish I could sit in on all of them.” Her advice? Register early and check out the program as soon as it is released. “Equally exciting (and a focus for this year) are several workshops included in the programming that will offer a great opportunity to learn what is needed to develop and design a game,” Eichenlaub said. “Ernest Adams, designer of ‘Madden Football’ fame and author of the highly acclaimed ‘Fundamentals of Game Design’ textbook, is one of the experts scheduled to hold a game-design workshop.” Penn College offers a bachelor’s degree in information technology sciences-gaming and simulation through its School of Industrial, Computing and Engineering Technologies.

Pop culture exhibit honors Little League Baseball WILLIAMSPORT — Colorful creations by an internationally renowned 3-D pop artist are teamed with artwork by area middle and high school students in “Collective Pop,” an exhibit celebrating pop art and the 75th anniversary of Little League Baseball. “Collective Pop” opened July 10 in The Gallery at Penn College and continues through Sunday, Aug. 24 — the final day of the 2014 Little League Baseball World Series. A special “Meet the Artist Reception” is set for 5 to 7 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 18. Best known for his use of bright colors, intricate details and 3-D layering techniques that animate his images, Charles Fazzino has exhibited his work in hundreds of museums and galleries in more than 20 countries during the past 30 years. Earlier this year, Fazzino collaborated with fifth-grade students from schools in Lycoming and Sullivan counties in the creation of an official artwork for the 75th anniversary of Little League. The piece will be dedicated during this year’s Little League Baseball World Series at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 16, and displayed in the World of Little League: Peter J. McGovern Museum in South Williamsport. Supported by the First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania, Little League International and Penn College, Fazzino’s artist-in-residence program also included educational workshops for teachers, elementary and high school students and an art contest for students.

Works created by fifth-grade students and their art teachers, as well as the winning entries in the contest, are included in the exhibit at Penn College. “Little League has played a vital role in our greater community here in central Pennsylvania for 75 years,” said Penn College President Davie Jane Gilmour, who serves as chairman of the Little League International Board of Directors and is a member and past chairman of the First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania. “This is an exciting project in which we can follow in the vision of Little League founder Carl E. Stotz to educate the area children while creating a lasting work of art to celebrate the community and Little League’s commitment to developing Major League people.” Fazzino’s portion of the “Collective Pop” exhibit at Penn College will feature original creations depicting a range of iconic contemporary life and scenes. “I am truly honored to be a part of this exhibition at The Gallery at Penn College,” Fazzino said. “These young artists are an inspiration to me, and the idea of being able to inspire them to create such brilliance is humbling. I’m proud to hang my art with theirs and will forever treasure the experiences I had working with them in honor of the 75th anniversary of Little League Baseball.” The Gallery at Penn College is on the third floor of the Madigan Library. The gallery’s hours are 1 to 4 p.m. on Sundays, 2 to 7 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and

Local artists recognized during annual juried exhibition STATE COLLEGE — At the July 10 opening of the fifth annual juried exhibition, six local artists received awards for their work. The Friends of Schlow Library provided the financial support to make both the month-long exhibit and the monetary awards possible. The works of art were judged by sculptor Jim Bright, who was awarded the 2013 Distinguished Artist Award by the Friends of the Palmer Museum.

Bright is a prolific artist whose work has appeared in numerous solo exhibits and has been commissioned for gardens and industry. In the student division, Bright selected both a winner and an honorable mention: n First place — Emily Schultz, “Trying to Fit the Ratio” (oil on canvas with thread) n Honorable mention — Claire Placky, “Hide” (reduction print) The winners in the open division were: n First place — Susan Parsonage,

“Zephyr” (woodcut) n Second place — Mary Kay LaPlante, “Hodegitria of Devine Ascent” (egg tempera and gold leaf) n Third place — Lynn Anne Verbeck, “Relationship Study” (anagama-fired stoneware) The Director’s Award went to: n Sami Sharkey, “Rusted Crow” (digital photography) As a testament to Schlow’s role as the “Centre Region’s Living Room,” this open-

ing event gave art enthusiasts and artists alike the opportunity to share ideas, make professional connections and gain a deeper understanding of the talent pool in our community. The event drew a crowd of more than 70 attendees. The 44 pieces in the show will be on display through the end of July. Featured artists include Deb and Bob Placky, Emily Schultz, Thomas Mickle, Shannon Brace, John Sharkey and more.

Smeal program provides inside look to high schoolers UNIVERSITY PARK — The Business Opportunities Summer Session Program, facilitated by the Penn State Smeal College of Business’ Diversity Enhancement Programs, connects underrepresented high school students with current Penn State students and alumni to provide an inside look at the business majors and beyond. Currently in its eighth year, the program is helping to create a powerful network as it continues to share the value of a Smeal education with a diverse population. This network is evident both in increased applications as well as the connections that form in the program and continue into the years beyond. “Applications for the 2014 program almost doubled in comparison to the previous year,” said Jamie Campbell, Smeal’s assistant dean for diversity enhancement. “Our BOSS alumni are going home and telling their classmates and their family members about what a valuable experience they had.” In addition, BOSS alumni who choose to apply and are accepted

to Penn State and Smeal often stay involved with the program, serving as program assistants in future years. “We find that this adds a lot of value to the program,” said Campbell. “Participants really hear the messages from their peers, so to have our program assistants be able to communicate the value of a Penn State education is critical.” Kiyonna McFrazier was a BOSS participant when she was in high school and says that her own experience in the program had a real influence on her final decision to attend Penn State and major in a business discipline. “The relationships I created during the BOSS program really helped me make a decision on which college to attend,” McFrazier said. “The program provided me with a support system going into my college transition, both with the other participants who ended up attending Penn State as well as with the BOSS staff. Knowing that there were people that I could turn to who wanted me to succeed was a real comfort.”

As a current Smeal student, McFrazier wanted to be able to extend that support system to a new group of BOSS participants. “I wanted the students to have just as much fun as I did when I was a participant, and learn even more,” said McFrazier. “My program assistants went above and beyond giving us advice about the future and telling us about Penn State, and I wanted to be able to share that experience.” This year’s BOSS program ran from June 22 to July 3 on Penn State’s University Park campus. The two-week program exposes participants — high school students who will enter the 12th grade in the fall — to real business classes in subjects such as business law, finance, international business, supply chain management, actuarial science and business writing. The program also facilitates interactions with professionals. Participants took a day trip to Philadelphia to tour Ernst & Young’s offices and learn about career opportunities and compa-

Though the program is academic in nature, the participants took some time for fun as well. Activities included attending

a State College Spikes baseball game, where they learned about the business of sports, and a day at DelGrosso’s Amusement Park, which provided a look at seasonal and family businesses.

Why aren’t consumers buying remanufactured products? By VICTORIA FRYER Special to the Gazette

WELLNESS IN MOTION recently opened in State College. Pictured, from left, are Dr. Roy Love, Kiersten Gelfand, owner Mandy Sergent Glitzer, State College Mayor Elizabeth Goreham and Centre County Commissioner Steve Dershem.

Wellness in Motion opens in State College STATE COLLEGE — Wellness in Motion held an open house for its newly opened yoga and wellness studio on July 17. The community enjoyed a “Passport to Health and Well-being,” an evening of fun, relaxation, educational events, wine and light refreshments. Live harp music was provided by Anne Sullivan of HarpMastery.com and door prizes and giveaways were offered by many local companies. Wellness in Motion, owned by Mandy Sergent Glitzer, is one of three wellnessrelated businesses now located at 611 Uni-

versity Drive. The yoga studio joins Fitness Inspired and Nittany Valley Chiropractic Center in offering clientele a wealth of classes and health care options. Glitzer, who has been a yoga instructor for more than 11 years, as well as the only local certified Phoenix Rising yoga therapist, has partnered with a group of instructors who offer classes ranging from yoga to tai chi to Pilates. A list of instructors and class schedules can be found online at www.wellnessinmotionstudio.com/classschedules.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Firms looking to increase market share of remanufactured consumer products will have to overcome a big barrier to do so, according to a recent study from the Penn State Smeal College of Business. Findings from faculty members Meg Meloy and V. Daniel R. Guide Jr. indicate that consumers perceive many categories of remanufactured products as dirty and disgusting. Remanufactured products, also known to consumers by terms such as refurbished or rebuilt, are products that have been disassembled, cleaned and — after replacement of any worn or defective parts — reassembled and returned to the market. They represent a significant opportunity for businesses aiming to increase sustainability, but currently they only account for about 5 to 10 percent of the consumer market. Part of the reason these products haven’t gained greater market share is the consumer perception that many of these products are dirty or disgusting — despite the thorough sterilization process that products undergo as part of the remanufacturing process. Disgust plays a particularly strong role when the remanufactured products are used for food preparation (e.g., a food processor) or personal care (e.g., an electric toothbrush). “The perception that remanufactured products are somehow dirty and disgusting due to their prior ownership adds a previously undocumented and powerful predictor of remanufactured product attractiveness,” the authors wrote. “(F)ully mitigating these negative perceptions … may prove difficult.” The upside of this market is that remanufactured products are more environmentally friendly.

Consumers are often more willing to adopt remanufactured technology products (e.g., smart phones or tablets). “Because remanufactured products derive from direct reuse (in contrast to new or recycled products), the environmental impacts of production can be lower than for new products,” write the authors. But contrary to their hypothesis, the authors found that consumers who selfidentified as being committed to environmentally friendly practices and products did not necessarily have a significantly more positive perception of remanufactured products. “Such a finding indicates that some green-minded consumers may not fully appreciate the potentially environmentally friendly or green attributes of a remanufactured product.” The authors indicate that remanufacturers will need to reduce consumer perceptions of disgust directed at these products in order to make them more viable. Reminding consumers of the environmentally friendly aspects of remanufactured products may increase “green” consumers’ positive perceptions of these products and, thereby, hold promise as one way to potentially remove the barrier to this market. The paper, “Remanufactured Products in Closed-Loop Supply Chains for Consumer Goods,” by James Abbey, Meg Meloy, V. Daniel R. Guide Jr. and Selin Atalay, is forthcoming in the journal Production and Operations Management. Meloy, associate professor of marketing, and Guide, Smeal Chair in Supply Chain Management, are members of the Smeal College of Business faculty. Abbey, assistant professor in the Department of Information & Operations Management at Texas A&M University, and Atalay, associate professor of marketing at HEC Paris, are Smeal doctoral program graduates in supply chain and marketing, respectively.
