School dedicates ‘Little Free Library’ By CHRIS MORELLI

editor@centrecountygazette.com

CHRIS MORELLI/The Gazette

OPEN FOR BUSINESS: Cecelia Corro, 6, a first-grader at Easterly Parkway Elementary School, cuts the ribbon at the Little Free Library, which was dedicated on Aug. 1.

STATE COLLEGE — As 6-year-old Ceceila Corro cut the yellow ribbon, officially opening Easterly Park Elementary’s Little Free Library on Aug. 1, a smile broke across her face. When she saw students lining up to borrow books from the outdoor library, her smile got wider. “This makes my school even better,” she said. “This will help students who don’t want to use something electronic or something that uses power. Reading just uses brain power.” The concept behind the “Little Free Library” is unique. Near the playground at Easterly Parkway Elementary, there’s a pavilion. Under that pavilion is a small blue and gold box with a glass door. Inside, there are approximately two dozen books. They can be read on site or taken away. There are no fees, no library cards, no due dates. Those using it are encouraged to “take a book, leave a book.” The library is truly free. As the sun broke through the clouds,

Easterly Parkway Elementary principal Michael Maclay stood and watched the children enjoying the books. “This is a great day because of the literacy initiatives that we’ve had here at Easterly Parkway for a long time,” he said. “We’ve encouraged kids to read, we’ve encouraged students to become more involved with their reading. This provides us with a centerpiece.” The Little Free Library was the community service project for Courtney Beers’ kindergarten class. The community library was designed to promote literacy and the love of reading by building free book exchanges and to build a sense of community as the books share skills, creativity and wisdom across generations. “When I saw it, I knew it would be something perfect since our school emphasizes reading so much,” Beers said. “I thought it would be something they’d enjoy and I thought it was age appropriate for kindergarten as well.” She ran the idea past her class, and they fell in love with the idea.

Developer’s plan for high-rise housing, retail space debated By STEVE BAUER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — A proposal to modify zoning rules to accommodate a planned housing project at the intersection of Beaver and West College avenues drew spirited debate at Monday night’s State College Borough Council meeting. A developer wants to build a high-rise, mixed-use building on the site of the old Arby’s restaurant and two adjoining prop-

erties. The project has been working its way through the planning commission for several months. The building falls under the Signature Development Conditional Use provisions of the zoning laws. That’s intended to encourage beneficial growth in the borough. “Part of the requirements was for 40 percent of it (the building) to be non-residential, which to me is a very important Zoning, Page 6

UNIVERSITY PARK — A Penn State student faces a number of charges after he was seen allegedly committing a lewd sexual act on campus. It happened in Penn State’s Boucke building, a few minutes before 11 p.m., on July 8. A Penn State employee was checking a room for trash when she found the student masturbating, his pants down and his shirt off. The woman notified another worker who called Penn State police. Investigators identified the suspect as Ke Yang, 21, of 411 Waupelani Dr. Police say Yang was

gone by the time officers arrived. He later agreed to meet with investigators after being contacted by phone. According to police, Yang admitted to the charges, telling them he was addicted to pornography. Yang was arrested on Aug. 1 after police received word that he was planning to return to his native China. Yang was arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Carmine W. Prestia Jr. and sent to Centre County Correctional Facility. He was released on $10,000 straight bail. He was due back in court on Aug. 7. Yang is charged with indecent exposure, open lewdness and disorderly conduct.

Kustanbauter named 2013 Renaissance Fund honoree From Gazette staff reports

UNIVERSITY PARK — Former executive director of Penn State’s Nittany Lion Club, Kay Kustanbauter, has been named Penn State’s 2013 Renaissance Fund honoree. She will be recognized in November at the 37th annual Renaissance Fund dinner, according to George Henning Jr., president of the fund’s board of directors. Each year, the Renaissance Fund honors an individual or couple who, through a lifetime of service, has contributed greatly to the Penn State and State College communities. In its selection process, the fund’s board of directors seeks to recognize individuals who have deep roots in the Centre Region, close relationships with civic and university leaders, and a commitment to philanthropy. “Kay is an excellent example of the ideal Renaissance Person of the Year,” Henning said. “Her commitment to the university and support for community programs is outstanding, and her love for Penn State and Centre County is exceptional.” This year’s recognition dinner will be held Thursday, Nov. 14, at the Nittany Lion Inn on the University Park campus. A reception will be held at 6 p.m., followed by dinner and the program at 7 p.m.

The Renaissance Fund is a highly visible example of Penn State’s efforts to ensure student opportunity through scholarship support funded by private philanthropy — the chief objective of the current $2 billion universitywide fundraising initiative, KAY For the Future: The KUSTANBAUTER Campaign for Penn State Students. The annual dinner raises money in the honorees’ names. Those contributions are used to endow Renaissance Fund scholarships, awarded to academically talented Penn State students who have great financial need. Since the fund’s inception in 1969, the endowment has grown to more than $10 million. During the 2012-13 academic year, 480 students received scholarships totaling $690,632. Kustanbauter was born in Bellefonte and began her more than 40-year career with the university in 1965 as a 17-yearold secretary in Penn State’s Department of Dairy Science. In 1971, she joined the

Penn State Athletics staff, working as a secretary for then-assistant athletics director Jim Tarman. The following year, when the office expanded to include management of the Nittany Lion Club, the course for Kustanbauter’s career was set. At the front desk of the newly staffed sports information and athletic public relations operation, Kustanbauter’s congenial approach to her work became a valuable skill. She spent nine years as a secretary for the Nittany Lion Club, developing experience in athletic fundraising and building strong relationships with university alumni and friends. In 1980, she was named coordinator of the Nittany Lion Club and athletic public relations. In 1989, Kustanbauter became the Nittany Lion Club’s executive director, a position she maintained for 16 years before retiring in 2005. Under Kustanbauter’s tenure with the Nittany Lion Club, the organization saw its annual donor base grow from 800 members to the more than 20,000 now giving in excess of $22 million annually. For more than 30 years, Kustanbauter also has supported the university through her personal philanthropy, contributing to numerous scholarships and building projects in addition to supporting university libraries,

the College of Arts and Architecture, and of course, athletics. She has been a member of the Nittany Lion Club since the 1970s and her support is recognized with membership in the President’s Club, Atherton Society and Mount Nittany Society. Connected to the greater community of the region, Kustanbauter serves on the boards of the Youth Service Bureau, Centre Foundation, Penn State Centre Stage and the Penn State All-Sports Museum. She is presently an active member of the Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics committee in For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students. Having devoted her life to supporting the Penn State and central Pennsylvania communities, Kustanbauter is deeply honored by the Renaissance Fund recognition. “It is my true love for the university and my hometown community that I hope has made me worthy of this honor,” she said. Reflecting on why she chose to commit her life’s work to Penn State, the answer is easy: “I love being a part of something special,” she said. “And this university is very special.” For Renaissance Fund dinner information or to make a contribution, contact Kathy Kurtz in the Office of Annual Giving at (814) 863-2052 or klk13@psu.edu.

PSU nursing program offers education through videos By MARJORIE S. MILLER

mmiller@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Nursing graduates in rural areas looking to advance their education now have another option, thanks to a developing blended approach to learning. With the RN to B.S. in Nursing program delivered through the Penn State Video Learning network, adult learners across the state can obtain their Bachelor of Science degree in seven weeks through a combination of face-to-face work and online projects. “The RN to B.S. in Nursing program and other education programs delivered through the Penn State Video Learning Network are designed to provide adult learners in Pennsylvania with access to Penn State’s education programs in their local region,” said VLN Director Rosemarie Piccioni. An “accelerated” degree, the 15-week program is completed in seven weeks, and is worth three credits. It is offered in cooperation with Penn State’s School of Nursing. In its pilot last year, 16 students committed to and went through the RN to B.S. program through the VLN, Piccioni said. “We have a lot of interest,” she said. And it’s that interest that has prompted the program to continue. So far about 15 students have already enrolled for the upcoming semester, she said, which runs from Aug. 26 through mid-October. Held within traditional semesters, the second cycle of the program will run from mid-October through December, she said.

Piccioni said research shows that adults possess various learning styles. Some prefer accessing their education completely online while others desire only face-to-face instruction, and a third group likes a combination of the two. “Penn State offers a variety of education delivery formats, including the VLN, to help adults find the best fit for their educational needs,” she said. “VLN programs are delivered at night, on weekends and on a single day of the week to give working adults the ability to fit education into their busy lives. The courses in the RN to B.S. in Nursing program, for example, are delivered on Fridays to make it easier for nurses to acquire education for career advancement.” Nursing, Page 5

in the field, according to Madeline Fulcher Mattern, coordinator of outreach programs at Penn State’s School of Nursing. “It’s just such a complex health care system,” Mattern said. “That professional degree is really needed.” Mattern said the seven-week courses are Penn State quality courses. Penn State Quality Assurance Standards, according to Penn State’s web learning website, provide a measure of quality assurance for online courses to serve the e-learning needs of Penn State students. They are directed to departments and colleges that wish to share online courses with other campuses or with students external to a Penn State geographic location via World Campus or e-Learning Cooperative. “(These courses) build and expand on the RN competencies needed to lead change and positively affect population health in the current complex health care system,” she said. Penn State has offered an RN to B.S. degree since the 1970s, she said. Today, that degree is offered at 11 campuses, including the World Campus online, Penn State Altoona and Penn State Fayette. Penn State’s Video Learning Network is just one delivery model.

A CAMP CADET attendee tries his hand at archery during the 2012 camp.

Camp Cadet students delve into police work By SHAWN CHRIST StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Since 1984, the Centre County Camp Cadet program has been giving youngsters an opportunity to learn about local law enforcement in a fun and engaging environment. Susan White, a staff assistant for the State College Police Department who has been helping out with the camp since its creation, says the variety of learning opportunities the camp offers makes it a great event for pre-teens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year they try to get something different for the kids,â&#x20AC;? White said. Camp Cadetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission is to â&#x20AC;&#x153;develop a better understanding between the youth of Centre County and its law enforcement officers.â&#x20AC;? There are activities every day, led by instructors from local police, fire and EMS departments as well as the FBI, Fish and Boat Commission and Game Commission. Aside from participating in traditional camp activities such as swimming and outdoor sports, cadets learn how to safely ride a motorcycle and shoot rifles. They practice archery and participate in self-defense courses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They also have speakers who come in and talk to (the kids) about domestic violence, or they might focus on Internet safety during girls week,â&#x20AC;? White said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just some things that are better to discuss in a law enforcement atmosphere.â&#x20AC;? Girls week at the camp, held at Camp Blue Diamond in Petersburg, began last Sunday and wrapped up Saturday. Boys week ends Aug. 10. Each week will conclude with a graduation ceremony where local officials will present cadets with certificates, awards and trophies. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all fun and games. Cadets experience a military-like atmosphere during the week. They wake up at 7 a.m., do physical training for an hour, and have barracks inspections. White, whose daughter attended a similar camp in Clinton County, says parents will be surprised when their children come back from camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She came home and it was, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Yes, sirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Yes, maâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;amâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to my husband and I,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That lasted for a while.â&#x20AC;? Most importantly, White said, the camp gets children out of their comfort zones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It teaches them to push themselves because there are some things that they might think they can and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rope course and a zipline. They get to do things that they might not ordinarily get to do and it makes them feel good about what they accomplished.â&#x20AC;?

Nursing, from page 3 The VLN, a system of 28 identically equipped high-technology classrooms at campuses statewide, delivers Penn State courses from colleges and campuses in a blended format – using both synchronous video conference classes and online work. Courses are adult-learner focused and emphasize academic quality, convenience and student success, according to Penn State. Courses are broadcast in real-time from a Penn State campus to multiple other Penn State campuses, according to Penn State York. A student at a broadcast campus is physically in a VLN classroom with the instructor and classmates. A student at a receiving campus is in a VLN classroom with classmates and the instructor is instructor is seen and heard in real-time through high definition video and audio. Students at receiving campuses can ask questions and collaborate with instructors and students at the other participating VLN campuses in real-time. Outside of class students can interact using technology tools such as discussion boards, Skype, Adobe Connect and email. Each receiving classroom is equipped with interactive desks with green push buttons that allow students to directly interact with the instructor. Other equipment enables the instructor to share instructional materials, such as PowerPoint presentations, documents and videos, according to Penn State.

PSU defendants waive formal arraignment By The Associated Press STATE COLLEGE — Three former administrators at Penn State are waiving their right to a formal arraignment on criminal charges in an alleged cover-up of reports about Jerry Sandusky’s behavior with boys. Dauphin County court officials said Monday that Graham Spanier, Tim Curley and Gary Schultz signed the waiver paperwork last week, after a district judge ruled following a preliminary hearing that there was enough evidence to advance the case to county court. The documents say all three men are pleading not guilty to the charges against them. Waiving formal arraignment is routine. Spanier is the school’s former president, Curley is retired from the position of athletic director, and Schultz is a retired vice president. Sandusky is serving a decades-long state prison sentence for sexual abuse of 10 boys and is pursuing appeals.

HILLS PLAZA SOUTH along South Atherton Street in State College is currently undergoing renovations. Hills Plaza, from page 1 Interior renovations to Weis Markets began in December and exterior renovations and an expansion began in June, according to a press release from Vita & Vita Realty. Local architect Albert A. Drobka and Veronesi Construction will complete the remodeling for the remaining 111,000 square feet of Hills Plaza South, according to the press release. There are four stores still available for lease in Hills Plaza South, said Anthony Vita of South Canadian Pacific Realty Company, which owns the shopping center. New tenants Pella Windows, H20 To Go and Hunting-

ton Learning Centers have signed leases, he said. H20 To Go had been in the Weis Market in Hills Plaza South, Vita said, but will now have its own store where customers can conveniently go to fill up bottles and jugs with purified water. Renovations for the smaller stores should be done in two to three weeks and Weis Markets in September, Vita said. Ace Hardware was remodeled three years ago, Vita said, which began the process of modernizing the shopping center. Clothes Mentor was also added to the center two years ago, as well as Kid to Kid one year ago, he said.

Cool temps keep attendance low at county’s pools By BRITTANY SVOBODA

correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

THE EASTERLY PARKWAY Elementary eagle reads to students at the dedication of the Little Free Library. Library, from page 1 “I showed the Little Free Library website with all of the pictures on it and explained to them what it was — that anybody in the community could come and take a book without a library card. They just loved it,” Beers said. Beers took the idea to Maclay, who had no problem signing off on the project. “This is a great testament to Ms. Beers’ kindergarten class from last year. Their service project was very successful, as you can see. Her students will be able to see this for the next five years while they’re here at Easterly Parkway,” Maclay said. Once the project was given the green light, the students took charge. “The kids designed the library. They painted it, they made signs to Zoning, from page 1 aspect because ... it provides office space for new businesses. ... It really would hook into some of the things we’re trying to attract; to help provide a more diverse downtown,” said Mayor Elizabeth Goreham. Ara Kervandjian is the managing member of 100 South Atherton Street Associates, the developer behind the project. Kervandjian said his company wants to build a 12-story building. It would include two floors of commercial space, nine floors of residential space and a top floor with a glass atrium providing views of the entire town. He said the atrium will cover 10,000 to 15,000 square feet and could be used by residents and members of the community. The emphasis is on mixed-use. Kervandjian told council members his company is “trying to resolve the issue of only catering to the student population.” He says some floors may be for non-students although there’s been no final decision. Plans

collect books in a book drive so we’d have books for it. Then they put tags on each of the books … in case the books ever get to another Little Free Library, they’ll know where it came from,” Beers said. If there was any doubt that the library would be used, those doubts were erased immediately. Students who attended the dedication began perusing the book selection just moments after Corro cut the ribbon. Beers was happy to see so many families taking advantage of her kindergarten class project. “I think it just shows what a family atmosphere we have at Easterly Parkway,” Beers said. “Everybody supports one another. It doesn’t just feel like a school where we come every day and go through our routine. It feels like an actual family. I think we all feel that way.”

According to Beers, students who want to use the Little Free Library don’t have to attend Easterly Parkway. In fact, the Little Free Library is open to all. “The motto is ‘take a book, give a book,’” Beers explained. “If you bring back the same book, that’s great. If you bring back a book you’re not using anymore that didn’t come from the Little Free Library, that’s great. We’re hoping that people will bring them to the library or front office so we can put our special tags on them.” There were about 50 people at the dedication. Maclay was thrilled with the turnout on a gorgeous summer day. “I think this says an awful lot about our community,” he said. “Here it is Aug. 1 and we’ve got quite a few people who came out to see the dedication of the library. I think it’s great.”

call for a variety of apartment sizes, ranging from one-bedroom units to four-bedroom units as well as some efficiency apartments. Several borough residents expressed concerns about the project. They worried that rezoning might have a ripple effect on the community or raise safety issues by concentrating too many students in a relatively small area. One woman said increased traffic is a potential danger. “We’re going to have some pedestrian issues,” she said. John Stone, of State College, wondered if tenants in the proposed building would really want to look down on the smoke stacks from the university’s power plant. “I don’t think it’s been thought through. ... If you’re doing this because of the higher-end possibilities, you ought to take a pause and look at this. Also, is it fair to put students in that position?” There were also concerns about demand for additional parking. Kervandjian said the design offers more

than 200 parking spaces, well above the 120 spaces that are required. There were also residents who spoke in favor of the project, calling it a well-designed plan that’s needed as an anchor as development pushes into the west end of College Avenue. The developer is asking for changes to the zoning, including an increase in the permitted density of rental housing, a reduction of the space that must be devoted to nonresidential uses and some changes in design standards for the building’s facade. Council President Donald Hahn said he’s under the impression that if the zoning issues can be resolved, the developer “would be ready with a plan to propose, almost immediately.” Hahn noted that not all council members were able to attend Monday’s session and wanted a chance to discuss it at the next council meeting. As a result, council voted to defer action until its meeting on Aug. 19 so that the more council members could take part in any vote.

STATE COLLEGE — There are still several weeks left of summer, but cooler temperatures have swept the area and are affecting public pool attendance numbers. “We’re experiencing a winter weather pattern in summer,” said Paul Head of the National Weather Service. “Cold air comes out from Canada to the Great Lakes and then Pennsylvania.” This unusual summer weather could last another 10 to 14 days, Head said, but temperatures should rise again. “It usually gets hot when school returns,” he said. The normal high for this time of year is 83 degrees Fahrenheit, and the normal low is 62 degrees, Head said. Temperatures have been five to six degrees below normal. The cooler temperatures we’ve been having are “completely opposite from June and July,” Head said. “Our hottest weather is normally late July, early August.” Although the temperatures haven’t been as warm as usual for August, Head said we’re experiencing a nice weather pattern as we go into September. “We will have cloudy days as well as nice ones,” he said. Senior meteorologist Paul Walker of AccuWeather said that although it has been cool the past few days, the “refreshing air mass” that most of the Northeast is experiencing “is coming to an end.” Evening temperatures have been in the 50s, Walker said, but will soon rise to the mid-60s. There could be another warm spell, Walker said, but temperatures won’t be as high as they were earlier in the summer, and Centre County could see a mix of weather in the coming weeks. Due to the recent unseasonably low temperatures, several area public pools have seen a decline in activity. “Attendance numbers are down for the end of July and early August,” said Todd Roth, aquatics supervisor for Centre Region Parks and Recreation, which oversees Park Forest and Welch public pools. Because it was exceptionally warm in early July, overall attendance at the pools are comparable to what they would usually be at this time of year, Roth said. If temperatures stay low, however, he said attendance numbers will end up low for the season.

Bricks4Kidz isn’t same old camp By CYNTHIA HILL StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — Water sports and arts and crafts are the usual things to do at summer camps, but this summer, a former French teacher opened a popular new franchise called Bricks4Kidz, offering a whole different camp experience. At Bricks4kidz, children use Lego building blocks to exercise their brainpower. They get to make machines, catapults and pyramids while learning about scientific concepts such as friction, gravity and torque. “Some people come up to me and say, ‘My son is a Lego fanatic! I need your information,” says Lynn Pelcher, who began offering Lego parties last year. Students make two or more models a day and most of the models are motorized. “As soon as they turn on the battery pack and that thing starts to move, Pelcher says, “their faces just light up.” Recently the campers built a motorized Batman car. Last week, they built a helicopter and airplanes that operated by remote control. “I’ve never really seen Legos like that,” says Connor Becker, who has taken three camps already. “So it’s pretty amazing.” Becker’s going to fourth grade and says he’d tell all his friends to come to this camp. In March Bricks4Kidz was ranked No. 5 in Entrepreneur magazine’s 2013 list of top new franchises.

Congress takes a break from doing not much By DALE McFEATTERS

Scripps Howard News Service

After seven months of having done almost nothing, Congress is taking a five-week break from the strain of not doing its job. Indeed, lawmakers’ constituents might be doing the country a favor by refusing to let them return to the Washington that these lawmakers profess to disdain so much. The country could run at least as well on automatic pilot, as it does most years when Congress fails to complete its work. It might run even better in the hands of the senior civil servants, who, thanks to a revolving door of political appointees, seem to run it anyway. Fittingly, the final act of the House was to vote for the 40th time to repeal the president’s health care law, “Obamacare,” an effort foredoomed to failure. That followed an embarrassing GOP face plant, when the leadership had to pull a routine transportation and housing bill because House Republicans couldn’t agree on the same measure whose outlines they had agreed to months earlier. Earlier, Republican tea partiers had blocked a routine farm bill, already passed on a bipartisan vote by the Senate, because it contained money for food stamps for poor people. The Senate also passed by a 68-32 bipartisan vote a modest immigration bill that would seem to include most of what the GOP said it wanted. Now, House Republicans are saying they’re not so sure. They say they’ll come up with something better, although they’re not sure what, in the fall. In fairness, the two parties did approve a group of stalled Obama nominees, approved a new student loan bill, postponed until fall a potentially crippling fight over the debt ceiling, approved — after an awkwardly long wait — relief funds for Superstorm Sandy, and, in a measure sure to thrill baseball fans everywhere, standardized the size of Hall of Fame commemorative coins. Miraculously, given Congress’ past performance, and especially the Senate’s, both houses passed budgets: $967 billion in the House version, $1.058 trillion for the Senate. Technically, the two bills must be merged into one before Oct. 1, but Congress has given itself only nine working days to accomplish that after returning tan, rested and ready from vacation. Then the fun starts. The government runs on 12 funding bills. The tea partiers — led by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, drawing on all seven months of his experience in the Senate — have vowed to knock out any funding in the bills for Obamacare. Even if this were as legislatively easy as it sounds, it could still lead to the shutdown of individual government departments. It could be an entertaining fall — unless you rely on your government for nonpoisonous food, breathable air, drinkable water, lifesaving medical research and bridges that don’t collapse. Then, you might be in trouble.

Should fast food pay a living wage? A new phenomenon has spread across the nation in recent weeks: “fast-food strikes,” named for the restaurant chain workers who have walked off the job in several cities, saying that establishments like Burger King and McDonald’s don’t pay employees enough to make ends meet. McDonald’s became an object of ridicule recently when it offered employees assistance in home budgeting — and put together a model budget showing its own full-time workers needed a second job to pay basic expenses. This comes as a new Associated Press survey suggests 80 percent of Americans “struggle with joblessness, near-poverty or reliance on welfare for at least parts of their lives.” Are full-time workers owed a living? If not, how can they survive? Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk, the RedBlue America columnists, debate the issue.

JOEL MATHIS

A good chunk of conservative ideology these days is based on the idea that the people at the bottom of the heap are there because they’re lazy, and perhaps parasitical. It’s one of the foundational ideas of the Ayn Rand-inspired elements of the Tea Party movement. It found its expression most clearly in Mitt Romney’s infamous “47 percent” comments during the Joel Mathis, presidential race joelmmathis@ last year: Folks gmail.com, is a writer in want government Philadelphia. programs because they’re too lazy to work. Perhaps that was true, back in early postwar America, when the economy was booming and the opportunity to lift yourself up out of humble circum-

JOEL MATHIS

stances really did exist for many folks. But consider this: The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that 63 percent of all new jobs created in the United States will require a high school degree or less. The “food services” industry will be the fastestgrowing source of jobs for such folks. No longer can a young American walk out of high school and into a factory job that will land him or her in the middle class. “Working at McDonald’s doesn’t usually amount to a career today,” Jordan Weissmann wrote in The Atlantic recently. “But it might tomorrow.” This isn’t to pick on McDonald’s, whose aim isn’t different from any widget maker in a capitalist society: Make a product and sell it at a price that’s high enough to earn a profit but low enough to draw customers. Accomplishing that task might be trickier if the company suddenly paid its employees a “living wage.” But if the rest of us are fair-minded, we Americans (conservatives especially) will have to reconsider whether it’s moral to let folks work careers in industries that won’t let them pay the rent, or whether it’s better — for them, and for capitalism’s survival — to surround the working poor with services instead of berating them for failures they don’t possess or can’t change. Businesses may not provide their employees a living, but even unskilled workers deserve one.

BEN BOYCHUK

A good chunk of the liberal ideology these days is based on the idea that the people at the bottom of the heap are there because they can’t help themselves. But for the tender mercies of government, who knows how much more miserable their lives would be? It’s an old, paternalistic idea that has lately found a new voice in these silly fast-food strikes. If it’s true that millions of Americans will be consigned to McDonald’s and similar low-skilled jobs for the rest of their working lives, then why shouldn’t government force those businesses to

pay a “living wage”? Surely the benefits would outweigh the costs. To buttress the point, the liberal Huffington Post alighted upon a University of Kansas study claiming to show McDonald’s “can afford to pay its workers a living wage without sacrificing any of its low menu prices.” Sounds great! Let’s do it! Well, maybe not so fast. Turns out the “study” was conducted by an undergraduate, and its methodology was less than rigorous. Oh, and prices would go up substantially. The price of a Big Mac would rise “just 68 cents,” which is nothing when you’re talking about a single meal on a single day. But 68 cents adds up quickly for a family of four over weeks and months. And don’t think price hikes would be limited only to Big Macs. That’s the problem with demands for a “living wage” — liberals rarely seem to think through real costs and consequences. San Francisco has a “living wage.” It also has one of the nation’s highest costs of living. There is “one and only one” responsibility of business, as the great free-market economist Milton Friedman observed half a century ago: “to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits so long as it stays within the rules of the game, which is to say, engages in open and free competition without decepBen Boychuk, tion or fraud.” It’s a lie that bboychuk@city“open and free journal.org, is associate editor of c o m p e t i t i o n ” City Journal. doomed Americans to “McJobs.” Instead of pining for a living wage and other mandates, we should help people find ways to live and thrive by their own best efforts.

BEN BOYCHUK

Reagan history serves as good model By JAY AMBROSE

Scripps Howard News Service

If you don’t learn from history, you’re doomed to repeat it, a philosopher once said, but here’s an addendum: You may also want to learn from it — as in reading “Sagebrush Rebel: Reagan’s Battle With Environmental Extremists and Why It Matters Today” — because you do want to repeat it. There you find out how President Ronald Reagan gave us policies serving the environment and the economy at the same time. Excuse me, President Barack Obama, but please visit this book. It’s by William Perry Pendley, who served in the Interior Department under Reagan and talked about the book recently at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver. He knows his subject inside and out, just as Reagan seemed to know environmental issues inside and out. Reagan, he explains in this engaging, educational work, had done research and writing on the environment for years as a radio commentator. As governor of California, he had learned more about the operations of Interior than any president ever. He had guidance from think-tank wizards and a heaping helping of common sense, to boot. The result of all of this was extraordinary environmental protections — restoring national parks, protecting endangered species, extending wilderness lands, safeguarding us against hazardous wastes — and

something else. This president increased energy production, refuting the 1977 prediction of his predecessor, President Jimmy Carter. He had said we were running out of natural gas and oil, meaning we therefore had to endure sacrificial pain. On radio that year, Reagan said this just wasn’t true. Later, after winning the presidency himself, he proved it wasn’t by overcoming the best-laid plans of radical environmentalists and translating his analysis into programs that led to increased exploration, discovery and production of oil and natural gas. He boosted coal production, too, and through all of this fed a robust economic recovery he was otherwise helping to manage, reversing the economic spiral of the Carter years. Reagan believed in American ingenuity. He trusted free markets and they performed as expected, and now — thanks partly to what he helped get going — we are nearing an energy boom. Sadly, someone is getting in the way: Obama, who is presiding over the weakest economic recovery since World War II and holds hands with the radical environmentalists Reagan fought. Obama gave a speech on the economy the other day, asking, among other things, for more spending on infrastructure, which would not be necessary if he had stuck to his original plan to afford us infrastructure heaven in the 2009 stimulus. In fact, the projects chosen were not always the most important and money was

diverted for such other stimulus objectives as spending $349,243 per home for broadband Internet access in one area where federal help wasn’t much needed. Talk about scandals. The truth is that more seriously addressing waste would provide enough funds to fix highways and bridges most in need along with normal funds properly spent and nonfederal efforts being pursued. Meanwhile, how about approving the privately financed Keystone XL pipeline that could provide thousands of jobs, lots of oil from Canada and billions to the economy? Science says do it, radical environmentalists are opposed and Obama is so far heeding them more than science and this particular infrastructure need. But hasn’t Obama, like Reagan, helped direct increased production of oil and natural gas? He brags as if he has, but he hasn’t. It’s happening, but mainly on private lands. Whereas Reagan opened up federal lands, Obama is playing hard to get. During his years in office, it’s reported that energy production is down on them, even though they harbor resources vital in boosting the economy and adding more desperately needed jobs. The issue, as a couple of additional sources recently agreed, is that it’s easy for radical environmental groups to get in the way of permits when dealing with an administration that is largely in philosophical cahoots with them.

OLLI welcomes 1,000th member at annual meeting From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — Deborah Klevans, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Penn State president, recently announced that Jeanne Waltz, of Philipsburg, is the organization’s 1,000th member. “We’re so happy to welcome Jeanne to OLLI, and to celebrate OLLI’s growing ability to offer enrichment opportunities to the Bellefonte, Penns Valley, Philipsburg, Moshannon Valley and State College communities,” Klevans said. Klevans presented Waltz with a $50 gift

certificate toward OLLI courses at the organization’s 16th annual meeting. At the meeting, Klevans said that 2012 was a good year for OLLI. “Our committed staff and volunteers arranged over 240 courses in addition to monthly luncheons and dinners, book clubs, hikes, a writing group and many trips, including a ten day trip to Europe,” she said. “While most of our members live in State College, we have an increasing number of members who live in Philipsburg, Penns Valley and Bellefonte. We have cur-

riculum committees in all four communities that create courses based on local interests,” she said. OLLI began in 1996 and was then known as the Community Academy for Lifelong Learning (CALL). CALL sponsored nine courses in 1997 and had 57 members. Now, OLLI offers more than 70 courses during each of four semesters, most of which are new, to more than 1,100 members. OLLI instructors are volunteers, and many of them are current or former PSU or public school teachers. Most of OLLI’s

Bald Eagle Area High School students are challenge winners From Gazette staff reports WINGATE — Bald Eagle Area High School economics students traveled to Shamokin Dam to compete in the EconomicsPennsylvania Central PA Region Economics Challenge, which was held at the Susquehanna Valley Country Club and sponsored by the Northumberland National Bank. During the on-site competition, a total of 21 teams comprised of three or four students from high schools throughout the region competed in either the Adam Smith theoretical aspects of economics or the David Ricardo real-life economic applications. The students were tested on their knowledge of microeconomics, macroeconomics and international economics. The Bald Eagle Area High School team, under the leadership of economics teacher Diane Lucas, placed first in the region in the David Ricardo division. The participating students were Jeff Gleason, Otis Statham, Diane Lucas, Sam VanCise and Emily Quick. The team earned the honor of advancing to the PA State Final Competition in Harrisburg, where Bald Eagle Area finished second. The challenge increases the students’ understanding of economics concepts; motivates independent study; enhances debate, discussion, and analytical skills; and provides a fun way for students to showcase their economic knowledge. The Northumberland National Bank provides the financial support for the Economics Challenge, in conjunction with EconomicsPennsylvania, a not-for-profit economic education and financial literacy organization.

Grange Fairgrounds hosts annual Organic FarmFest By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — The second annual Pennsylvania Organic Farm Fest was held at the Grange Fairgrounds in Centre Hall on Aug. 2 and 3. The event was hosted by Spring Millsbased Pennsylvania Certified Organics, which is celebrating its 17th year of certifying organic farms. The fest kicked off Centre County Local Foods Week, Aug 3-10. The event featured indoor displays by numerous organizations and companies oriented toward organic farming and foods and sustainable agriculture. Outside, food and craft vendors were nestled among the tents erected for Grange Fair near the exhibit buildings. Live music was featured on stage on both days, and a petting zoo and a craft area were located on the grounds for the children. Numerous seminars were held on both days, covering subjects relating to organic gardening and farming. A silent auction and a 5K running race were also held. In the exhibit area, Karen Stark, of Philadelphia, represented an organization called GMO Free Pennsylvania. The group advocates mandatory labeling of foods which contain genetically modified organisms. She noted that nearly 80 percent of supermarket foods con-

tain GMOs, and 62 countries have either banned GMOs or require labeling of these products. “We’re all about information,” said Stark. She said that no long-term studies have been conducted on possible detrimental effects of consuming GMOs in food. She advocates legislation which would mandate that food product labels state if the products contain GMOs. “People have a right to know so they can make their own choice in what foods they consume,” said Stark. Jason Grottini, director of operations of Evinity, Inc. in State College, manned a display of his company’s timber frame homes. The homes are custom designed per each customer’s requirements by Evinity’s staff of 18 professionals. The structures use heavy timbers joined by pinned mortise and tenon joints for support. All milling of the pieces is done on-site by craftsmen using hand held power tools. The timber frame construction provides a natural, rustic style interior with large rooms unsupported by interior walls. Evinity also engineers and installs heat pump climate control, and does solar electric installations. Grottini said they are building two Net Zero homes, which produce enough power to be independent of the commercial elec-

This year, in spite of rainy weather, she called the turnout “remarkable;” nearly 50 tents were occupied by those who camped at the grounds during the event.

Penns Valley car show benefits Children’s Miracle Network By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — When Jessica Daulby, daughter of John and Jackie Daulby of Spring Mills, was 14-years-old, she suffered from gastroesophageal reflux disease, a medical condition where stomach acid creeps up the esophagus and causes discomfort. The strong acid began seeping into Daulby’s lungs, causing an asthma-like condition making breathing difficult. She was admitted to Geisinger Medical Center in Danville where a surgical procedure called a Nissen Fundoplication was performed on her. In this procedure, stomach muscle tissue is wrapped around the base of the esophagus, which can pinch it shut to prevent acid reflux. During her 40-day stay at Geisinger, Daulby learned about the Children’s Miracle Network organization. Children’s Miracle Network was founded in 1983, and over the last 30 years has raised more than $4.7 billion for 170 children’s hospitals across the United States and Canada, which, in turn, use the money where it’s needed the most. These donations have gone to support research and training, purchase equipment, and pay for uncompensated care, all in support of their mission to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible. Daulby, now 17, will be a senior at Penns Valley Area High School. For her senior project, she decided to organize a car show with the proceeds to be donated to the Children’s Miracle Network. The “Shine and Show For the Kids” car show was held in the back parking lot of Penns Valley Area High School on Aug. 3. Rainstorms plagued the area for much of the day, limiting the number of show vehicles to just 27, but by early afternoon the skies cleared, producing a beautiful day. Show entrants were seen drying the rain off their vehicles with towels and chamois cloths. Among the show cars was a silver 1963 Studebaker Avanti sport coupe, owned by Bob Cherry of Loganton. The design was ahead of its time with exotic styling and fiberglass body. Features like a roll bar concealed in the interior’s headliner. “The name Avanti was a good choice because Avanti means “advanced” in Italian,” Cherry said.

DAN DIXON stands beside his 1937 Ford pickup with hood open to show its flathead V-8 engine. Cherry found the Avanti on the internet in Virginia last year with 73,000 miles on it. The Avanti’s supercharged 289 cu. in. V-8 delivers 290 horsepower through a fourspeed manual transmission. “It really runs fine, but it needs a paint job,” said Cherry, who also owns two other Studebakers: a 1960 Hawk and a 1959 Lark. The oldest vehicle on display was Dan Dixon’s dark green and black 1937 Ford pickup. Dixon found the truck in Loyalsock with just 8,000 miles on the odometer. “The owner drove it once a week to the store, and once a year to pay his taxes,” said Dixon. “It had a wooden bed that I was

going to restore, but I gave up and got a metal bed for it.” The all-metal bed came from Kansas. Preston Fetterolf showed an eye-grabbing green 1974 Chevy pickup, which he calls “The Hulk,” complete with Incredible Hulk decals on the bed sides. “The color is called bright yellow-green. It’s a 2002 Chevy color,” said Fetterolf. The engine compartment features a 350 Chevy V-8 with a Holley four barrel carburetor and lots of chrome, including aftermarket chromed inner fenders. “They cost a lot more, but they’re worth it,” Fetterolf said.

Tables full of door prizes donated by local merchants were given out to show entrants, and food was sold to hungry participants and spectators. Cash prizes were given to show winners in several categories. DJ Carl “Moonie” Snyder, a 1967 Penns Valley graduate, came up from New Cumberland to entertain the crowd with recorded rock and roll oldies and some live vocals. Jackie Daulby said the show raised about $1,300. “We were really pleased with that amount,” she said, “especially on a rainy day.”

Monarch butterfly population drops to an all-time low SPRING MILLS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Due mostly to the severe drought and excessive heat in the midwest during the summer of 2012, monarch butterfly numbers have dwindled to an all-time low. Once most of the midwest vegetation withered and died last year, monarchs were no longer able to find milkweed to lay their eggs on. Some couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even find enough nectar to sustain themselves. As a result of the low reproduction last summer, the fall migration was smaller than normal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; much smaller, in fact. There were 80 percent fewer monarchs Rose Franklin in Mexico last winter resides in Spring Mills. She is an as compared to an author, and average year.

In an average year, 17 acres of Mexican forest are densely covered in monarchs. This year only three acres were laced with the orange and black wings of monarchs. This spring, unusually cold temperatures further hindered the plight of the monarch.

tures across the middle portion of the U.S. further delayed the northward migration. June and July brought heavy rain to much of the nation and then, in mid July, a weeklong heat wave settled in. The monarch is now in a serious trouble. Although the population has been in decline for many years, this past year has likely quadrupled the burdens put upon this majestic butterfly. Monarch sightings are reportedly lower this year than in any preceding year. So, too, are monarch eggs and caterpillars. Some butterfly enthusiasts are beginning to wonder if they will see any monarchs this summer. Unless monarchs have favorable conditions for reproducing this August, they may next summer be even more scarce than they are this year. And this year, they are pretty darn scarce.

Healthy lunches are key to a child’s success By SAMI HULINGS

shulings@centrecountygazette.com

For parents, the start of a new school year means juggling work with your children’s school, homework and after school activities once again. Though mornings may be hectic, use these tips to make sure you don’t forget to provide your children with healthy lunches. n Switch from white bread to whole grain. If your children’s lunches include sandwiches, one of the easiest ways to increase the nutrients they receive is to switch to whole grain. Fiber, vitamins B6 and E, magnesium, zinc, folic acid and chromium percentages are much higher in brown breads then in refined white breads. n Choose lean meats. Pick lunch meats like chicken, turkey, lean ham and tuna for sandwiches. These meats are healthy choices packed with protein. n Pack a rainbow of color. Fruits and vegetables from green to orange and everything in between are a great source of nutrition for kids. Because many children aren’t very fond of some fruits and vegetables, try to make them more interesting. Pack different colored fruit together. Include dipping sauces like yogurt or fat free veggie dip. n Quench their thirst with water. Though juices may be made from fruits and even some vegetables, think about sending water with your children’s lunches. Juice adds unnecessary sugar, especially when it is used daily for multiple meals. Choosing water will eliminate this extra sugar while keeping your children hydrated throughout the day. If you do send juices with your children, choose those that are made of 100 percent juice or blends of 100 percent juice instead of juice drinks. n Limit snack foods and baked treats. Cookies, cakes and chips may seem like a quick and easy addition to your children’s lunchboxes, but they are high in sugar, saturated fat and salt. Healthier choices include unbuttered or lightly buttered pop-

corn, pretzels or crackers. n Offer variety. Show your kids eating healthy doesn’t always have to be a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on whole wheat bread with pretzels and an apple. Make turkey or chicken wraps with lettuce, tomato and a fat free dressing. Carrots or sweet pepper slices can add crunch and color. Finish the meal off with yogurt, granola and strawberries for a homemade parfait. If possible, use a meal calendar to plan out lunches for the whole month ahead of time. This will allow you to offer enough variety without having to rack your brain each morning. Make lunches the night before and store them in the fridge to make mornings less hectic. n Give your children options. If you want your children to eat healthier, allow them to have some say in what they do eat. While shopping for lunch items, ask your children which fruits and vegetables they like best. Do the same for sandwich choices and sides. When you are making the lunches (or planning them out) narrow down the options. Choose two items from what you bought and give your children an “either or” option. Instead of feeling like they were forced to eat healthy choices they don’t like, your children will feel like they chose what their lunches include and will be happier about eating healthy. n Include a treat. Children love sugary sweet foods. No matter what you pack in their lunches, they will always try to include some sort of cookies or cake. In moderation, everything is okay. Instead of including a baggie with five cookies, give your children two. Or include homemade baked goods. Since you made the sweets, you control what is in them. Homemade cakes and cookies don’t include the unpronounceable additives processed sugary foods do. Let your children help make the foods. They will feel accomplished when they open their lunch box and find a piece of banana bread, two chocolate chip cookies or one Rice Krispies treat they helped to make.

A HEALTHY LUNCH is packed with nutrients and can benefit your child in many ways.

Doctor visit recommended before start of school year It’s important to make sure immunizations, tests are up-to-date By MARJORIE S. MILLER

mmiller@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — As the school season approaches, there are a variety of steps parents and caregivers can take to make sure their children are healthy and ready for the upcoming academic year. Dr. Craig Collison, of the pediatrics department at Mount Nittany Physician Group, advises parents to schedule a doctor’s appointment for their child’s annual wellness exam prior to the start of school. During this visit the doctor can check the child’s growth and development, including height, weight and body mass index, and perform a physical exam. This visit should also include a review of the child’s medications, as well as tests for any hearing or vision problems, he said.

Additionally, the wellness visit is a good time to ask about any health problems the child may have had since his or her last visit, go over family history, order necessary tests, and discuss any health topics related to the child’s age, such as puberty changes. “This visit is also time for you – as the parent or guardian — to bring up any health concerns you have about your child, including behavioral or emotional issues, learning disabilities or chronic conditions,” Collison said. “I recommend bringing along a list of items that you’d like to discuss with your child’s physician so that you make sure you cover everything. Making the time for an annual visit with your pediatrician is an important part of keeping your child healthy.” This appointment is also an ideal time

to make sure the child’s immunizations are up-to-date, Collison said. “To keep your child healthy, have him or her vaccinated (or) immunized against diseases. All of the vaccines the state currently requires for children to attend school are from the official recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,” Collison said. “All of these vaccines are safe and welltolerated and are very important in keeping your children and the children around them free of these preventable diseases. Any vaccine can have potential side effects, and if any do occur, these are typically mild and short-lived.” There are also some vaccinations that are recommended, though not by the state, most notably Hepatitis A, influenza

and the human papillomavirus, or HPV vaccines, Collison said. “Some sources claim that immunizations are to blame for multiple chronic illnesses including autism, diabetes and celiac disease,” he said. “These conditions have been blamed on specific vaccines, specifically the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine in connection with autism. Exhaustive students have been done to look at these issues, and all have concluded that vaccines are not linked to these or any specific chronic illnesses.” Those who do not wish to immunize their school-aged child may file for an exemption, Collison said. For the current schedule of vaccinations for preschool and school-aged children, visit the CDC website at www.cdc. gov/vaccines.

Faith-based early childhood education strives to teach values By LAUREL SANDERS Special to The Gazette

STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Raising a child is challenging. As the oft-cited African proverb states, it takes a village. Although parents and other primary caregivers undeniably play the most influential part, many pieces of a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development begin to fall into place when they have opportunities to observe, play and learn alongside their peers. Introducing children to group learning opportunities at an early age greatly expands their experiences, observations and vocabulary at the time when their neural networks are developing more quickly than at any other time in their lives. It also helps them to strengthen human bonds with caring adults and a wider circle of friends. Many studies have shown that young children have the greatest aptitude for learning language through stories, participating in discussions, making music and forming relationships. Loving interactions with caring adults play an important role in their ability to accept and explore new situations without fear, enabling them embrace new opportunities. Parents play a vital role by reading, organizing play dates and visits to the library, or encouraging their children to participate in organized activities. Add to that a quality, caring preschool environment with the right balance of structured learning and play, and you have a rich tapestry

of unique opportunities for social development and exploratory learning. The Pennsylvania Child Care Association, a leading voice for childcare in our state, underlines the importance of early learning programs that offer stimulating environments and responsive teachers. The National Institute of Child Health and Development (NICHD) reports that when children are exposed to high-quality child care, it results in stronger outcomes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even during their teen years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including higher academic achievement. Since children learn both by observing others and by trying to accomplish things on their own, they are bound to learn something from adults and their peers in any group situation. However, since their impressions, experiences, and discoveries build neural networks that are the foundation and framework for all future learning, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we owe it to them to ensure they are placed in the best, most caring environments with access to passionate and compassionate teachers from their earliest years? Options for early childhood education abound, from daycare to playschool or nursery school to the more structured learning opportunities that a preschool typically offers. Although passionate teachers with a good education can be found in many different environments, both public and private, a faith-based preschool offers something unique â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a different motivation for what educators do. A faith-based preschool is typically led and staffed by people whose passion for

teaching is matched, and even driven, by a common sense of mission: To care for each child as one of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique, loved creations. Helping children to care about others as well as themselves, to put the proverbial shoe on the other foot (as soon as the idea can be grasped), to have good manners, and to make positive contributions that help those less fortunate than ourselves, become goals we not only discuss, but strive to live by example. Although Christian, Jewish and other faith-based early childhood learning centers take different approaches, each has a â&#x20AC;&#x153;villageâ&#x20AC;? of caring people who can help children to learn values as well as to develop socially, academically, emotionally and spiritually. Faith-based care challenges its workers and volunteers to care for the whole child. By doing so, we carry out our individual and collective mission, helping children to discover and develop their God-given gifts so they can use them fully both for their own enjoyment and to make the world a better place. Whether you work with young children, are parenting (or once parented) your own, interact with students regularly, or only do so occasionally, you are a teacher â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if not by choice, then by your everyday modeling. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be fooled when children seem disinterested, distracted or aloof, for they are studying your voice, reactions, observations, discoveries and interactions with others. By recognizing the opportunity we have to shape our children, we should realize we do, indeed, have a say in the future

Back-to-school shopping tips make trip stress-free By SAMI HULINGS

shulings@centrecountygazette.com

Even though your child might not be thrilled about it, school is just around the corner and retailers have started their back-to-school sales earlier than ever. Shopping might be the good part about heading back for kids, but it can often lead to stress for parents. To make shopping as smooth as possible, plan ahead and make a list of necessities. Use these tips to make the trip fun and stress-free.

BEFORE YOU GO

n Set a budget. Sit down with your child and discuss what he or she needs for the upcoming school year. New jeans? Check. iPod Mini? Not really. The discussion will help to teach your child responsibility and money smarts. n Do agree on a few special items. Does your child have a style all his or her own? Let him or her express their personality through clothes, backpacks, lunchboxes or school supplies. The school year goes much smoother when kids want to wear the clothes hanging in their closets and carry their backpacks to and from school.

THINGS TO BUY n Underwear n Socks n T-shirts n Sweaters n Sweatshirts

WHEN GOING back-to-school shopping, remember to be practical and plan for the months ahead.

By purchasing late fall and winter items at the beginning of the year, your child will be prepared for anything. He or she might not need everything listed, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Before heading out to shop, have your child try on clothes, coats and shoes from last year to see how many of each you will have to buy. This will give both you and your child a clear understanding of what is needed and what isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Ag Progress Days 2013 Ag Progress Days are here again By SAMI HULINGS

shulings@centrecountygazette.com

PENNSYLVANIA FURNACE — From biomass energy to high-tunnel vegetable production, the 2013 Ag Progress Days exposition will highlight Penn State’s agricultural science research and extension programs. Sponsored by the university’s College of Agricultural Sciences, the expo will be held Aug. 13-15 at the Russel E. Larson Agricultural Research Center at Rock Springs, just nine miles southwest of State College. More than 480 exhibitors are expected to feature the latest in agricultural goods and services on the 2,100-acre research center. Because of the wide range of exhibits, Bob Oberheim, the Ag Progress Days manager, believes the event will appeal to the masses. “Pennsylvania has a very diverse agricultural industry, and we try to make the event reflect that,” he said. “Visitors are sure to find something relevant to them, whether they operate a dairy or livestock farm, grow fruits or vegetables, produce wood products or tend a garden.” Showcasing the state’s agricultural economy is one of the many goals of Ag Progress Days. With an economic impact of almost $57 billion, agriculture and its related businesses form one of Pennsylvania’s largest industries. A large amount of the equipment, technology, goods and services that aid in the state’s economy will be on display at the exposition. According to Oberheim, Ag Progress Days offers those

In addition to products, Ag Progress Days will also fea-

ture numerous demonstrations. One of the most popular will be that of field machinery. “These demos give visitors the chance to see how equipment from different manufacturers performs under real-life conditions,” Oberheim said. New to this year’s exposition will be a demonstration of hay mergers and choppers. Hay mowers, hay balers and a cover-crop interseeder developed by Penn State agricultural scientists will also be shown. All demonstrations will take place weather-permitting. Though many of the exhibits, guided tours and workshops will highlight the latest in agriculture, Oberheim stresses the event is not just for those directly involved with production. “Through fun and educational activities, consumers and families can learn about how their food is produced, how they can improve their health and nutrition, and how Penn State agricultural research and extension programs help ensure a safe and abundant food supply while minimizing environmental impact,” he said.

Pasto Ag Museum boasts new exhibits

PENNSYLVANIA FURNACE — If you plan to visit the Pasto Ag Museum during Ag Progress Days, Aug. 13-15, you are in for a treat. Located on E. 10th Street near the top of Main Street on the Ag Progress Days site, the museum offers a look at farming’s past, including farming methods and aspects of rural life that primarily cover a time period between 1775 and 1940. The assemblage of objects however, spans a period of 6,000 years. The clay sickle, at about 6,000 years old, is difficult to imagine as a labor-saving device. There are many new exhibits in the recently enlarged and renovated museum. At the Agricultural Forum in July, Larry Harpster used a track and pulley system to demonstrate the way a hayfork lifted hay into the haymows of days gone by. The new barn strucConnie Cousins covers Centre ture, from which the fork hung,was a County for the collaborative effort between Bob HaCentre County zelton, who designed it and Amish Gazette. Email her builders. at correspondent@ Harpster has a keen interest in the centrecountgazette. museum. com “I worked on the farm that was once where the Ag Museum is now and my family has been around here since 1798,” he said. “I retired from teaching in 2005 and donated some items to the museum. I had helped with auctions for many years and was asked to lend my expertise when the silent auctions were added to Ag Progress Days in 2001.” He said he had retired — sort of — and still works three farms. Hazelton is otherwise known for his talks around the area on subjects of historical interest, such as the History of Spring Creek Canyon, Scotia and others. He gives many hours to the museum as well, helping to clean and prepare machinery for display. “Bob is especially adept at planning and helping with the flow of the exhibits, but he was the sole creator of the Ice House Exhibit,” said Rita Graef, curator at the Pasto Agricultural Museum. “He grew up observing his father’s

ice service business. His overseeing the project led to its historical accuracy.” Most of the volunteers who help at the museum come from agricultural backgrounds, but that is not a requirement. Graef is the only paid employee. On the day of my visit, volunteer Jay More, whose talent is construction, was working on a partition within the building. Harpster had come by to harvest some barley that will become part of the small grain exhibit. “Small Grains From Threshing Floor To Table,” this year’s theme, will focus on the history of small grains. There will be opportunities to see and touch the various types of grain and see a Burr Mill in operation. Darwin Braun’s oxen, Frye and Burg, will power the mill. A horse driven treadle-powered threshing machine is another planned demonstration for each day. At 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, and at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday, you can see history in action. “The mission of the Pasto Agricultural Museum is to provide the public with an understanding and appreciation for early agriculture and rural life, especially in Pennsylvania and the northeastern United States,” Graef said. Gemelli’s Bakery is bringing a wood-fired brick oven on Wednesday and will be baking johnnycakes and spoon breads. “Tony Sapia, owner of the bakery, has researched historic recipes to provide this treat,” Graef said. The Society For the Preservation of Old Mills is helping the museum with an exhibit of a water-powered gristmill that will enable visitors to see grain ground into flour. The Pennsylvania Historical Museum Commission (PHMC) is bringing a PA Ag History Project, with Dr. Sally McMurry and others, who will provide a context for the equipment research and display a timeline during Ag Progress Days.

Bellefonte Art Museum supports local art BELLEFONTE — Located in the historic John Blair Linn House, the Bellefonte Art Museum offers area residents the opportunity to experience creativity and to appreciate world and local artists in a rural setting. By focusing on the works of local artists, cultural art, world collections and local collections, the museum promotes visual arts, and stimulates curiosity, imagination, creativity, and lively and thoughtful participation. According to the museum’s president and executive director, Patricia House, this is accomplished by showcasing exhibits from around the world, featuring galleries with artists from Central Pennsylvania, and providing the area with children’s art programs. “They all sort of intertwine because we feel the artists need to be supported,” she said. In order to do so, the museum is currently working to raise money for a $50,000 matching grant known locally as “Art to Heart For the Bellefonte Museum.” In order to receive a matching monetary amount, the museum must raise the funds by Dec. 1. Because the museum doesn’t receive governmental funding and is run mostly by volunteers, House said this grant could be a tremendous help in fundraising, allowing the museum to advertise more and hold more shows. Funds are mostly raised through museum memberships, a $40 tax-deducible support contribution, and contacting businesses and individuals in the community. “Everything we do is with the funds we can raise,” she said. According to House, the grant will also allow the continuation of art exhibits from around the world. Previously, the museum has included exhibits from China, Africa, the Caribbean, South America, Canada and Vietnam. “We’re a moderately rural area, even with the university. We don’t get a lot of interchange with other communities. We think that the exhibits and what we called “The Windows of the World,” gallery are extremely important to

our artists, as well as the community,” she said. Expansions for the free children’s programs offered by the museum will also be aided by the grant. “We try really hard to raise funds. This matching grant would be the first time that we would have enough income to really expand some of our children’s programs,” House said. Providing local artists and children with as many opportunities as possible to express themselves creatively is the ultimate goal of the museum. “We are much more in-depth when it comes to local artists. We have an amazingly rich number of artists that live in this area,” House said. “So many times, art reflects what’s around you and what’s important to you. So to have artists from Central Pennsylvania showing lets us share with the people around here the rich legacy of their environment.” The museum is currently presenting “A Legacy of Creative Endeavors,” an exhibit featuring work by Centre County alumni of Penn State’s School of Visual Arts. As the Bellefonte Art Museum is the only museum in the county that shares Central Pennsylvania artists’ work, House believes the artists “benefit from exhibiting in their own environment because it enriches our people to see what kind of art is being created right here.” “This is not just a Bellefonte art museum,” she said. “We like to give recognition to the fact that it’s housed in a historic building in Bellefonte, but it serves the entire Central Pennsylvania area. You will be pleasantly shocked that we have an art organization right here in Central Pennsylvania of this quality that you didn’t know about. It’s kinda secret.” For more information about the Bellefonte Art Museum and its current exhibits, visit www.bellefontemuseum. org. To donate to “Art to Heart For the Bellefonte Museum,” send contributions to P.O. Box 125, Bellefonte, PA 16823.

Off to a Flying Start Behind Womer, Howard tops Lemont in Game 1 By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

sports@centrecountygazette.com

HOUSERVILLE — The conversation around the Centre County League playoffs has changed from marveling about the Howard Hawks to wondering how they can be stopped. After well-documented series’ victories over the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds in the tournament, the Hawks took on No. 3 Lemont in game one of the league championships on Tuesday evening at Spring Creek Park, and they demonstrated once again how they got there. Howard pitcher Tyler Womer scattered eight hits, the defense played error-free baseball, and Womer helped himself with a three-run, go-ahead home run in the fifth inning as the Hawks held off the Ducks for a 5-3 openingday victory and a 1-0 series lead. Lemont took a 3-1 lead into the fifth inning, but Womer, with teammates Clay Smith and Travis Price on board, lofted a one-out pitch from Seth Whitehill far into the brush in right field that gave Howard its first lead of the game. The Hawks added an insurance run in the sixth, and then Womer was able — barely, and with some great defensive glove work — to hold off Lemont for the win. “We are just starting to come together,” Womer said, “and we are having fun playing ball. We got all our guys. If our pitching can keep us in the game, we are confident that we can hit the ball. We are just having fun.” Lemont took an early, secondinning lead on a single by Eric Wolanski and an RBI double by Kyle Wright. Womer tied it in the third with

Womer tossed an eighthitter and had four RBIs in the Hawks’ 5-3 Game 1 victory. the first of his game-high four RBIs when he drove in Clay Smith after a line-drive single to left-center field. In the fourth, the Ducks inched ahead by two runs. With one out,

Wolanski doubled and then he scored on Eric Kempton’s double to right field. Kempton went to third base on the throw, and he scored on a sacrifice fly by Wright to make it 3-1.

They would be the final runs Womer gave up in the game. “We saw in the first couple innings,” Howard catcher Scott Zuback said, “that the Lemont hitters were behind the fast ball a

lot. They were hitting everything over there to right field. So we just kept at it. They had time to catch up to the off-speed, but we just tried to hit our spots. Sometimes we missed, but even then they popped up and we got them out.” In the fifth, Zuback popped out to open the inning, but then Whitehill issued his second and third walks of the game to Smith and Price. Womer stepped in and wasted little time as he hit the first pitch far into the creek in right field that plated the eventual winning runs. “I was going up there looking for something to hit,” Womer said. “He had been pitching me inside all day and I was waiting for it. I just turned on it and saw it go.” Lemont, still fighting but down 5-3 in the sixth, put a runner on third with two outs, but Womer got Wright to fly out to end that threat. In the seventh, the Ducks got a walk and a base hit that put runners on first and second with two out. Lefthander Ben Sallade stepped up, representing the winning run, and he connected on a shot to deep center field that arguably would have been out of any ball park. But at Spring Creek, with no fence, center fielder Joe Pillot raced far back and pulled it in for the final out in the game. “Once he (Sallade) hit it, I saw it tail right away,” Zuback said, “and it went right at Joe (Pillot) and tailed away. I wasn’t sure if he was going to get it or not. But he made a good play.” The series now moves to Howard tonight for game two at 5:45 with the Ducks having to figure out Howard and avoid a 2-0 deficit in the best of five series.

Bellefonte plays host to Teener League tourney Clearfield claims state title with 10-8 win over Altoona

By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

sports@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — Clearfield and Altoona took completely different routes to the finals of the VFW 15-16 Teener League State Championships held in Bellefonte last weekend. The tournament, which included three Centre County teams — Bellefonte, Penns Valley and Philipsburg-Osceola — featured teams from six different areas around the state and concluded with the state championship game on Monday afternoon. Clearfield by far had the easier path after defeating Bellefonte, Central Penn East and Philipsburg in the winner’s bracket. Altoona had to fight its way through the loser’s bracket after losing in the first round to Penns Valley by a score of 18-3. From there it took consecutive wins over Schuylkill South, Central Penn East, Spring Cove and Philipsburg to earn the right to face Clearfield in the final. It was an arduous journey, and it showed. Clearfield broke out to a first-inning, three-run lead, increased it to 9-5 after four innings, and then held on for a 10-8 victory and the state championship. Altoona did rally with three runs in the seventh inning and had the tying runs on base, but a strikeout and fielder’s choice ended the game. For Area 5 Champion Bellefonte, watching Clearfield take the trophy must have evoked a litany of “what ifs.” The two teams met in the first round on Friday night and, after spotting Clearfield a sixrun lead, Bellefonte rallied for a combined 13 runs in the fourth and fifth innings to take a 13-9 lead into the seventh inning.

The rallies included doubles by Taylor Butts and Trent Fortney and a big, threerun homer by Matt DeArmitt in the fourth. But Clearfield answered with four runs in the bottom of the seventh to tie the game, and then it scored the winning run in the eighth without a hit to take the game and the momentum going into the second round. Now facing elimination in the lower bracket, Bellefonte played another close, back-and-forth game against Spring Cove after a rain delay on Saturday afternoon. Bellefonte rallied for three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to tie the game 9-9 going into the final inning. Spring Cove came back with four consecutive hits after there were two outs, however, and rallied for three runs and a 12-9 lead. Bellefonte answered with a run in the bottom of the inning and then loaded the bases with two outs. But it was not to be as Spring Cove escaped with no further damage and Bellefonte was eliminated. Philipsburg-Osceola, the runner-up from Area 6, began the tournament with two quick victories. On Friday night it defeated Area 2 Champion Schuylkill South 12-1 behind the two-hit pitching of Nate Kerlin. On Saturday morning, P-O hooked up in an epic battle with Penns Valley in the second round of the winner’s bracket. Pburg took an early 6-2 lead after the first inning and then slowly extended that lead until it ballooned to 11-4 after three innings. But Penns Valley’s pitching stiffened after that and PV began to creep back — scoring three in the fifth to make it 11-7 and then two more in the sixth that tight-

In the seventh, PV added another run when Logan Marcum scored after a single and an error to make it 11-10. PV then sacrificed Hunter Ilgen to third base with the tying run, but he got no further as a ground out and a pop-up ended the game for Philipsburg. This set up a showdown with Clearfield in round three with the winner going to the championship. After a slow start, Clearfield

began rolling in the game and, behind the shutout pitching of Thomas Summers, pulled away from P-O for a 10-0 victory and a spot in the championship. Neither Philipsburg nor Penns Valley would win again. Penns Valley was eliminated by Spring Cove later on Saturday evening, and P-O, with a chance to get back into the championship with a win, was ousted by Altoona on Sunday afternoon.

On to the Finals

Howard punches its ticket to the County League finals By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

sports@centrecountygazette.com

PHILIPSBURG — The Howard Hawks’ 3-1 series victory over No. 2 seeded Lewistown in the County League playoff’s first round last week was surprising. Their 3-2 semifinal series victory over No. 1 Philipsburg was not. The Hawks, coming in as the No. 7 seed, used the same formula against the previously undefeated Spike Island Pirates as they used against Lewistown — opportunistic hitting, solid defense and tight-fisted pitching. The Pirates knew coming into the series how well the Hawks were playing, and they said so many times. In the end though, Howard was still able to hand Philipsburg its only three losses of the season over the stretch of just five games. Last Sunday’s series-clinching, 10-7 victory over the Pirates was a perfect example of Howard’s post-season success so far. In a matchup of aces at Philipsburg High School — Josh Potter for Philipsburg and Brian Pelka for Howard—the Hawks spotted the Pirates a run and then erupted for seven runs in the top of the third inning to take a 7-1 lead. Five of those seven runs were scored after two outs in the inning with the big blast coming on a three-run, twoout home run by Kyle Womer. Time and again, the Pirates in the past have come back from big deficits, and they did so again. Philipsburg chipped away at the Hawks’ lead until, after scoring a run in the bottom of the sixth, it had closed the gap to 8-7 with

one inning yet to play. It was the perfect set up for another classic Pirate last-minute save. Except this time, Howard had the answer. The Hawks caught some two-out lightening in the top of the seventh and scored two big insurance runs on a tworun double by Travis Price to take a three-run lead that Pelka was able to protect for the victory. “He (Josh Potter) was feeding me changeups outside most of the day,” Price said. “It was a big situation, and it was a time you want to be big. I just wanted to react to an inside pitch, and I was a little bit behind a fastball and just went with it and it was a big hit at the right time. “We knew seven runs were not enough with their lineup. We knew playing defense we were going to have to do well. And that’s the thing with our guys, we’re tough. We may not be that great, but we’re tough.” Normally, a three-run, seventh-inning lead would be a large cushion for Pelka, who is approaching 100 career wins in the County League, but this day was anything but normal for Pelka or Potter. The two aces gave up a total of 17 runs and 27 hits in the game, and both teams were a threat to score at any time. “Both these teams can hit the ball,” Pelka said, “and this was his (Potter’s) second time facing us and it was my second time facing them, and once you face somebody for the second time, they know your tricks.

“So it was a real challenge facing these guys. They are just a top-notch group of players and hitters and we are just happy to get out of here with a win.” As it turned out, the seventh was the easiest inning of the game for Pelka and the only one in which he did not allow a runner into scoring position. After getting two ground-outs from Ryan Koch and Parker Watson, Pelka walked lead-off hitter Matt Curtis. He came back, however, to strike out Ryan Mostyn on an outside curve ball to end the game and the series. “The seventh inning I just cleared my head,” Pelka said, “and just focused on hitting my spots. I didn’t get caught up in the score. I tried to hit my spots and let my defense do the work, and they did.” Now it is on to the CCBL finals against perennial champion and No. 3 seed Lemont. The Ducks have won 10 of the last 13 league championships and they arrive after having eliminated No. 4 Clarence, 3-1. The two teams last met in the finals in 2000 — the last time Howard played in the finals — in a series that was eventually won by the Ducks. “We have to approach (Lemont) the same way,” Womer said, “Nothing to lose. We have to go in there play hard every inning, focused. Pitching has to be on, keep hitting, play defense. Nothing to lose.” Sounds like Howard will keep doing what it’s doing.

Kevin Treese of Mountain View Country Club overcame a slow start to take medalist honors for the first time at the recent North Central PGA senior event held at the Williamsport Country Club. Treese, who bogied three of his first four holes, maintained his composure and finished even par for the remaining 14 holes to finish at 74 in the 50- to 59-year-old division. Mill Race’s Carl Stackhouse fired a pair of 38s to finish at five over par 76. Mountain View’s Steven Byron carded a round of 89. In the 60- to 69-year-old division, it was also a strong finish that helped John Pagana of Susquehanna Valley Country Club find the top of the leaderboard with a 78. Pagana’s one over par 36 on the back nine allowed him to finish one shot clear of Mountain View’s Bill Fleckenstein and three shots better than Frosty Valley Country Club’s Marty Bowman’s 81. Chuck Colyer of Nittany Country Club posted a round of 83. Bucknell’s Gary Fry dominated the 70- to 79-year-old division, firing a four over par 75.

In the 50- to 59-year-old division, Bucknell’s Tim Harpster’s 2-over par 73 was enough to get him back on top at the NCPGA senior series. Bucknell’s David Grill, White Deer’s Bruce Hoover and Mike Clarke, of the host club, all posted 75s. Nittany’s Richard Knepp carded a round of 83 to finish seventh.

20TH ANNUAL GERI REEVE OPEN AT PENN STATE

The 20th annual Geri Reeve Open Golf Tournament will be held on Sept. 9 on the Penn State Blue and White Courses. The 19 previous annual events have generated more than $287,000 to support the Centre County Breast Cancer Coalition and the American Cancer Society. “The 20th annual Geri Reeve Open Golf Tournament will be a day of celebration for breast cancer survivors, a time to remember our loved ones who have suffered through this disease and a day to bring hope for everyone that one day a cure may be found,” explained Geri Reeve, the inspiration behind the tournament. “The Geri Reeve Open Golf Tournament Committee, working with the Centre County Breast Cancer Coalition and the local chapter of the American Cancer Society, would like to invite all women to play with us this year or be involved in some way to help beat this dreaded disease.” “The tournament, which began in 1994 as a small local event of 42 golfers, raised $393 for the American Cancer Society,” said Reeve. “We are excited to share that in 2012 we raised $24,475, pushing our 18-year total to nearly $287,021. “Again, special thanks to the 2012 Geri Reeve Open donors and we look forward to their continued support in 2013. It is only through the efforts and support of local residents, organizations and businesses that we can continue to grow and make an impact in the fight against this deadly disease.” The event is a four-person scramble and begins with golfer registration at 7 a.m. Breakfast will be available. The cost of the event is $125 per person and includes breakfast, team photo, greens fee, cart, gift and lunch. There are also two golfers packages available. Contact Carolyn Follett at (814) 353-4855 for more information. Players may register as an individual golfer, twosome or foursome. The tournament will be scored using the Penn State Golf course handicap system. Prizes will be awarded, both net and gross, for first and second place winners on the Blue and White Courses. There will also be prizes for the “on course” events for each course. In addition, the event will have “hit closest to the pink ribbon” and “let the pro take your shot” options. Remember to take a few extra dollars onto the course to participate in these events. Mulligans will be available for purchase, too.

Greg Myford leaving Penn State By BEN JONES

StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State associate athletic director for marketing and Communications, Greg Myford confirmed to StateCollege. com that he will be leaving his post at Penn State. Myford, who was hired in November 2004, has played an important role in the marketing and branding of all Penn State athletic programs.

His responsibilities included the oversight of inter collegiate athletics marketing and promotions, communications, ticket services, media and sponsorship rights agreements and www.goPSUsports.com, the official website of Penn State Athletics. A Penn State alumnus himself, Myford returned to Penn State after spending 12 years with Palace Sports & Entertainment, most recently in Tampa, with the 2004 NHL Stanley Cup Champions, the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Myford told StateCollege.com that he has has accepted a position as associate vice president for IMG College in its southeast region and will depart from his post at Penn State by the end of August. According to its website, IMG College is a “collegiate multimedia, marketing and licensing/brand management company,” based in Winston Salem, N.C. IMG College represents the NCAA as well as nearly 200 collegiate properties.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State has a long and successful history of producing defensive line players who have taken their skill to the next level. According to NFL. com’s Gil Brandt, current Nittany Lion DaQuan Jones is the No. 1 senior defensive tackle in the nation and could have all the tools to make the jump to the NFL. “The play of the 6-foot-3½-inch, 330-pound Jones was a big reason why the Nittany Lions won eight games during the 2012 season. He is a strong player with good speed (5.15 seconds in the 40-yard dash) for the position,” Brandt said. Brandt might be giving Jones a little too much credit for Penn State’s success last year with only 22 total tackles, but there is no doubt that Jones possesses the upside that could help step his game up a notch. Former Nittany Lions star Devon Still only truly exploded on to the scene in his final season in Happy Valley in 2011. The All-American was a crucial part of the Nittany Lions’ interior defense and was eventually recognized as the Big Ten defensive player of the year. Still was picked up by the Cincinnati Bengals in the second round of that year’s draft. In 2012 Jordan Hill made his claim for the NFL after a strong senior season saw him dominate opponents on the front line. Hill was eventually drafted in the third round of the 2013 draft by the Seattle Seahawks. How Jones will play in 2013 is still up in the air with training camp just under a week away, but there is no doubt that the Nittany Lion senior could explode on to the scene. Coach Bill O’Brien would be happy to see that, too, as the Nittany Lions look to replace a handful of key defensive leaders in 2013.

Fall ball registration BELLEFONTE — Bellefonte Little League will hold late registration for fall baseball from noon to 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 10 at the Bellefonte Little League board room on Fifth Avenue. The fee is $25. There are several age groups: 6-7 (coach pitch), 8-9 (kid pitch) and 10-11 (kid pitch). Fall ball is instructional and some of the games will be played under the lights.

UNIVERSITY PARK — A quick trip down University Drive is like taking a tour of some of Penn State athletics’ largest and most famous buildings lighting up the summer sky. With the Bryce Jordan Center and Beaver Stadium looming in the background it’s an impressive sight for any Nittany Lion fan. That trip has added one more late night attraction, though, as the Pegula Ice Arena can now be seen with its interior lights shining through the all-glass wall located on the east end of the building. The puck will drop in Penn State’s $90 million hockey facility Friday, Oct. 11 when the Nittany Lions’ men’s hockey team opens the 2013-14 season against the Army Black Knights.

Penn State coaching legend Gene Wettstone dies By STEVE BAUER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Penn State community mourns the loss of a Nittany Lion coaching legend. Gene Wettstone, a member of the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gymnastics program for 36 years, has died. Wettstone, who celebrated his 100th birthday earlier this month, passed away Wednesday morning in State College. Wettstone led the Nittany Lions to an astonishing nine NCAA team championships and 13 Eastern Intercollegiate Gymnastics League (EIGL) crowns. He compiled more than 200 dual meet victories, coached his student-athletes to 35 individual national titles and produced 13 Olympians before retiring. He is the record-holder for most NCAA menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team championships by a single coach in the sport.

Wettstone was inducted into the United States Gymnastics Hall of Fame in 1963. Penn State director of athletics Dave Joyner says Wettstone touched the lives of countless gymnasts at Penn State and across the nation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is viewed as the John Wooden of college gymnastics and was very highly respected worldwide in the gymnastics communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach Wettstone was a great person and an outstanding tutor that brought Penn State and collegiate gymnastics to the forefront. He will be deeply missed by Penn Staters and many others around the world.â&#x20AC;? The Gene Wettstone Award, which is awarded to the top Nittany Lion gymnast each year, began in 1976 following his retirement. At Penn State, Wettstone oversaw 26

Three of Wettstoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s student-athletes went on to win the Nissen-Emery Award, given annually to the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top gymnast. Steve Cohen (1967), Bob Emery (1969) and Gene Whelan (1976) all earned the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top distinction. Emeryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name was added to the award in 1997 for his contributions to the sport. Wettstone made two tours as the head coach of the U.S. Olympic menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gymnastics team, in 1948 and 1956. He was the manager of the 1976 U.S. Olympic squad. He was an Olympic judge during the 1952 and 1968 games and served on the U.S. Olympic Committee for 20 years. He also served as the national AAU vice-chairperson from 1948-1956 and was a member of the NCAA Gymnastics Committee for 18 years.

Wettstone also experienced success as a student-athlete at the University of Iowa, earning Big Ten titles on the pommel horse, high bar and in the all-around as a senior in 1937. Other awards for Wettstone include the Lifetime Achievement Award from his alma mater.

‘Urinetown’ opens this weekend at The State By ANNE WALKER

correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Nobody likes to think of their life’s details under the control of a corporation. Individuals prefer to make their own decisions about what they eat, when they sleep, when they brush their teeth and so on. But imagine if a corporation decided whether or not we get to use the bathroom.

IF YOU GO WHAT: “Urinetown” WHEN: 7:30 p.m., Aug. 9 WHERE: State Theatre TICKETS: www.thestatetheatre. org An irreverent musical comedy, “Urinetown,” under the direction of Richard Biever, will open this weekend at the State Theatre. “Urinetown” hits the stage at 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 9. Featuring a young cast of actors, singers and dancers, ranging from 11 to 17 years of age, the show will explore what happens to a community when a punishing drought causes a water shortage. Megacorporation Urine Good Company (UGC) takes over, prohibiting private homes from maintaining their own bathrooms. Everyone must use public restrooms, for which UGC charges exorbitant rates.

THE CAST OF “Urinetown” during a recent rehearsal. The play will be on stage at The State Theatre on Aug. 9. “It’s a serious topic, and it’s timely,” Biever said. “Corporations take advantage of their position in society.” “But it’s a hoot,” adds choreographer Jill Brighton. “It has the

most inane lyrics. It has a lot of childish humor, but the lyrics are sophisticated.” The show’s characters include assistant urinal custodian Bobby Strong, played by Sam Jordan,

Hope Cladwell, played by Madeline Biever and Officers Lockstock and Barrel, played by Max Hults and Nick Mancuso. Several scenes take place in Public Amenity No. 9, the worst

restroom in town. Action heats up when the poor population rebels against the lavatory police. A kidnapping, a bit of extortion, plenty of song and dance, and more than a few evil characters make for a satirical romp at the expense of bureaucracy, capitalism and local politics. And not all characters make it to the end of the show. It also makes references to better-known shows, including “West Side Story,” “Fiddler on the Roof” and “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” “The humor appeals because of its self-awareness,” Biever commented. “It makes fun of conventions seen in musical theatre.” He adds that the characters believe what they say, but frequently don’t realize the humor. “It’s like cartoons,” he said. “Kids see the slapstick and adults get the different, more sophisticated joke.” In conclusion, Biever and Brighton hope audiences will have a good time with the show and get a good laugh from it. They also hope the underlying message will come through. “The poor people win because they take over,” Brighton said, “but the drought was real.” Good theatre entertains while providing intriguing matter for thought. So this one, despite the title, packs a pretty hefty punch.

Manheim Steamroller Christmas by Chip Davis will perform at 8 p.m. on Dec. 13 at the BJC.

Grammy Award winner Chip Davis will direct and co-produce the performances with MagicSpace Entertainment. The shows will feature the favorite Christmas music of Mannheim Steamroller along with state-of-the-art multimedia effects in an intimate setting.

The resulting album was a hit and Mannheim Steamroller went on to become the biggest selling Christmas music artist in history. The group’s Christmas tour has become an annual holiday tradition right along with decorating the tree, exchanging presents and creating unforgettable moments with friends and family.

Classical pianist to perform recital By ALLISON GIANNOTTI

correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK —The Central Pennsylvania Music Teachers Association and Penn State School of Music will present pianist Kristin Stephenson at 7 p.m. on Aug. 10 in Penn State’s Esber Recital Hall. An impeccable performer and seasoned teacher, Stephenson will perform pieces by notable composers Chopin and Liszt, and by lesser-known composers Poulenc, Griffes and Dutilleux. “I chose music with which I have a strong personal connection,” Stephenson said. “Music often communicates more directly than words and goes straight to the heart of the listener; good composers are keenly aware of this when writing their music.”

IF YOU GO WHO: Kristin Stephenson WHAT: Piano recital WHEN: 7 p.m., Aug. 10 WHERE: Penn State’s Esber Recital Hall TICKETS: www.music.psu.edu Unlike most classical concerts, Stephenson will give a brief introduction before each piece. “This will help the audience make a personal connection with the music and understand the composers’ thoughts behind their work,” Stephenson said. The concert will conclude with a collaboration piece with pianist Hyun Ju Curtain. The musicians will intermingle the sounds of two grand pianos by performing “Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso” by Saint-Saens, arranged for two pianos. Geared toward children and hoping to foster the importance of music appreciation, the event will include a children’s corner where kids can talk about their favorite pieces.

Performing Arts School of Central Pennsylvania leaps into new season From Gazette staff reports

ACCOMPLISHED PIANIST Kristin Stephenson will perform at 7 p.m. on Aug. 10 at Penn State’s Esber Recital Hall.

“I hope young students will find that classical music can be fun and will be inspired to excel in their own music studies,” Stephenson said. “Classical music communicates a vast range of emotion and is relevant to our experience as human beings.” In addition, children will have the opportunity to fill out a music quiz and pick a prize upon its completion. “It’s true that classical concerts can be a little hard for kids,” event coordinator Fang-Mei Chu said. “That’s why we created an interesting activity to go with the concert.” As a teacher, Stephenson has shared her remarkable talents with young students who have emulated her strong playing and emotional connection. “I have high expectations as a teacher, but I aim to communicate them in a gentle manner,” Stephenson said. Tickets are available at the door or for presale purchase at Robert M. Sides on North Atherton Street, The Animal Kingdom on South Allen Street, Far Corners Oriental Market, or by calling Fang-Mei Chu at (814) 231-4817. For more information about Stephenson, visit www.kristin stephensonpiano.com.

ULTA Beauty opens its doors By SHAWN CHRIST StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — One of the largest national beauty retail chains, ULTA Beauty, celebrated the grand opening of its State College store on Aug. 2. The 10,000-square-foot store, located at 263 Patriot Lane in the Trader Joe’s Plaza, features more than 20,000 beauty products and fragrances from brands like BareEscentuals, Matrix and Estee Lauder, as well as a full-service salon. “ULTA Beauty combines convenience and customer service with more than 500 different brands of products plus a full service salon,” said Carolyn Sutphen, event planner for the company. “ULTA Beauty is the largest beauty retailer in the country to offer this unique combination of mass to prestige products with salon services.” Sutphen said the company was founded in 1990 as a beauty retailer when beauty products were sold by distinct channels. Department stores sold certain products while drug stores sold mass products and

salons offered professional hair care products. “Based upon consumer input and feedback, ULTA Beauty pioneered what we believe to be a unique retail approach that focuses on all aspects of how women prefer to shop for beauty products,” she said about the store’s one-stop shopping approach. The store also offers a rewards plan for those who are interested. The Club at ULTA is free and members earn certificates based on spending that are redeemable for free beauty products or salon services. Members also receive emails with coupons and information about new products and special offers. Sutphen gives only one reason as to why women should shop at the store. “Because ULTA Beauty offers everything that women could need or want in products for skin, hair, nails, makeup and more,” she said. For more information on products ULTA Beauty offers, visit www.ulta.com.

Hawbaker joins Kish Bank regional board From Gazette staff reports

STATE COLLEGE — Alan G. Hawbaker has been appointed to Kish Bank’s Centre County Regional Board, according to William P. Hayes, CEO and chairman of Kish Bank. Hawbaker is retired from a career that began in 1974 with Glenn O. Hawbaker Inc. He served as director of information technology at GOH, where he implemented new accounting and estimating systems. Since his retirement, Hawbaker has served as a consultant to GOH, where he is continuing his role in the procurement of liquid asphalt, fuels and natural gas, and in overseeing cost control for the firm’s asphalt plants and equipment. “We are pleased to welcome Alan to Kish Bank’s Centre County Regional Board,” Hayes said. “His years of experience in one of Centre County’s most successful and progressive businesses — now spanning three generations — will be very helpful to us as we continue to grow the Kish franchise.” Hayes also cited the strong support GOH has provided the community over the years. Hawbaker has been active as a volunteer in

the State College community, most recently joining with Kish and others in the construction of a garden at the Grey’s Woods Elementary School in State College. Hawbaker attended Penn State University, where he majored in the associate degree ALAN G. program of highway HAWBAKER engineering. He lives with his wife, Ginger, in Port Matilda. They are the parents of two grown children. Hayes said, “Our regional boards are a critical link in our efforts to remain connected to and listening to our communities. They not only serve as a sounding board on our products and services, but also provide us with insight on growth and expansion opportunities.” Kish Bank has $650 million in assets and 13 offices in Centre, Mifflin and Huntingdon counties. Business units include retail and business banking, investment management and trust, insurance, and travel.

Smeal MBA program welcomes new student services director From Gazette staff reports

“My main goal is to come to understand the students’ experience and, through broad connections across the college and the University, continue to make that experience more rewarding,” said Orient. By getting to know each student — beyond just their academic concentration and career goals — Orient hopes to get a sense of what’s truly valuable to the MBA student body. With that understanding, he can help them fashion their MBA experience into one that is both personally rewarding to them and also results in meeting their professional goals. “I believe students will have a great experience here if they feel like they are actively involved in their development,” he said.

UNIVERSITY PARK — The Penn State Smeal College of Business MBA Program announced that Erik Orient is the new student services director. Orient will coordinate the development and implementation of student services and programs for resident master of business administration students, as well as provide academic advising and counseling to MBA students and student organizations. Orient comes to the position from a military background, having served 22 years in the U.S. Marine Corps. His last post was working with the Penn State Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) students in a similar capacity to his new role at Smeal.
