New-look Nittany Lion Shrine draws fans By NATALIE HAMILTON

correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — After an entire summer of reconstruction, the new site surrounding the iconic Nittany Lion statue is finally complete. The Nittany Lion Shrine, closed to the public since May, was reopened last Thursday, two days before the first home football game of the year. Where there was once mulch now lies a design of stonework, creating a sprawling set of steps, seating and handicap-accessible ramp. In addition to the stonework, the site is surrounded by epoxy, a substance that looks like gravel but is permanently glued and grounded together for a more lasting feel. Other new features to the site include LED lighting and newly planted trees and vegetation. Late Friday afternoon, a small line of people waited to take pictures at the updated site. Many were alums, back in town for the football game the following day. Dave Rowe graduated in 1991 and was visiting the site for the first time in

15 years. “We brought the kids up for their first Penn State football game,” he said, motioning to his young daughter and son. The family now lives in Long Island. The recent work to the site was a gift from the class of 2012, while the original site was given by the class of 1940, who raised $5,340 dollars to make the project possible. Heinz Warneke is the sculptor of the famous lion statue. Not only is the site one of the most photographed places on campus, it is one of the most photographed places in Centre County. The new stonework and design is open and inviting, creating flat wide surfaces suitable for sitting on. The ramp wraps its way up and around to the statue while the steps lead broadly up to it. Person after person and family after family made their way up the new steps, climbing on the lion’s back and posing for pictures. Two girls walked up with two Scotties in tow. The dogs were called, appropriately, Nittany and JoePa. Lion shrine, Page 6

PSU fans deal with bag ban

Chamber announces slate of changes

UNIVERSITY PARK — The Penn State bag ban went into effect for Saturday’s home opener with Eastern Michigan at Beaver Stadium. A new policy limits what fans can bring into the stadium. Diaper bags, backpacks and camera bags are no longer allowed inside the stadium on game day. Most fans didn’t have an issue with the new policy. “I don’t have a problem with it,” said Bryan Doverspike, who traveled from Pittsburgh for the game. “It’s the world we live in. When you look at what happened with the bombings (at the Boston Marathon), it makes perfect sense. It’s a good idea, actually.” According to Doverspike, fans should be able to survive three hours without all of their worldly possessions. “I never understood why fans feel the need for all that stuff anyway. If you’re there to watch the game, you shouldn’t want a bag filled with distractions,” he said. While bags are no longer permitted inside the stadium, the university recently announced that fans are allowed to bring a clear plastic zipper bag or other similar product that can contain wallets and camOpinion .............................. 7 Health & Wellness .......... 8, 9

While Prodes said the new policy is an inconvenience, she said that she understands why the university feels the need to enforce such a policy. “I think it’s a bit of an overreaction, but I totally get it,” Prodes said. “Certainly, you want fans to be safe. But I’ve always felt safe inside the stadium. That’s not going to change because they don’t allow bags.” Penn State alumnus Shaina Jamieson

STATE COLLEGE — The Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County announced organizational changes to better meet the needs of its members and investors. Chamber president and CEO Vern Squier said the CBICC had been in extensive discussions over recent months about its finances which led to further examination of all aspects of operational structure and program balance, focus and delivery. The CBICC board also considered its mission, vision and values statements as the board unanimously adopted changes in recent meetings in an effort to refocus the organization. As part of the approach, Squier said the board size has changed from a maximum 29 to 18 members, and meetings will be held monthly, as opposed to every other month, effective as of August. Squier also said the CBICC plans to bolster its existing committees

Blankets, coats, binoculars and seat cushions are still permitted inside the stadium as well. Lines were noticeably longer at stadium gates and some fans reported delays getting into the stadium. “It slowed us down, yeah,” said Stefanie Prodes, of Harrisburg. “There were people in front of us who had to turn around because they had some things that weren’t permitted. I had a tiny purse with my phone and money in it, but they let me through.”

UNIVERSITY PARK — Two Penn State students were charged with assaulting Penn State Police officers Saturday outside Beaver Stadium in two separate incidents, Penn State Police said. John Shaner is charged with aggravated assault, obstruction of justice, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness, according to reports. Police say he began yelling at two Penn State Police officers who were giving someone a citation at about 11:45 a.m. near football lot 12. Officers reportedly asked Shaner — who was a guest at a nearby tailgate — to leave the area multiple times. Shaner is accused of kicking one of the officers in the knee and was taken to the police station at Beaver Stadium, according to reports. While being held in Beaver Stadium he allegedly kicked another officer

The second incident occurred at about 2 p.m. in the Porter North parking lot. Police say Alexis Mamakos was found passed out near the lot by passers-by who spotted her face down. Police say they were able to wake her up, but when Mamokos began talking she wasn’t making any sense. Mamakos became argumentative with EMS personnel who responded to the scene, police said. While she was being transferred to the Centre County Correctional Facility, she kicked an officer who was riding in the front seat, hitting him in the shoulder, according to reports. She was charged with aggravated assault, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness, police said. Alcohol was involved in both incidents, police said.

State College directors approve high school renovation project By ADAM LIDGETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — After months of heated debate, the State College School Board voted unanimously Monday night to approve a high school renovation project known as Concept D. This plan will include major renovations to the South building so that core classes can all be held on the same side of the street. Portions of the North building will still be available for student and community use. To choose the design concept, the board evaluated a number of issues including safety and security, adherence to the educational model, site and location, cost, constructability and sustainability and environment. Each board member was asked to rank each category in order of importance. The concept that received the highest scores was Concept D. In the end, the board rejected Concept B, a plan that would have meant building a bridge between the North and South high school buildings, with upgrades for both buildings. Many board members felt that plan didn’t fit the school district’s push to develop small learning communities. Board member Dorothea Stahl said: “We would have more issues following through on (the learning communities) if we spread out school across streets. ... We’re saying (to the students) ‘you’re not together.’” Board member Amber Concepcion

The 13 committees include marketing; recruitment; entrepreneurship; retention/expansion; regional economic development; small business support; municipal managers; workforce development; business environment – policy; business environment – regulatory; infrastructure; membership development; and events. “In addition to our membership offerings, we have pledged to focus more on the three primary components of economic development,” he said, which are entrepreneurship, retention/expansion and recruitment. In making the shift, the CBICC aimed to find ways to function better given the current economic times, while maintaining an active leadership. Squier said the changes to the board and

echoed a similar stance, saying that Concept D doesn’t exacerbate the spacing problem with students having to cross over Westerly Parkway. “This is the best decision for next 50 years,” Concepcion said. “We had to look at what is going to be best use of our resources and maximize the return on our investments.” Board President Penni Fishbaine said she liked Concept D because it offers more safety. Fishbaine said that having all core classes in one building will reduce the number of access points for people to get to students who shouldn’t be in the school, and it will require less overall security personnel. The board also approved plans to hold a voter referendum on the high school project on May 20 of next year. That will allow additional time for development of the project specifications, including floor plans, campus parking and storm water management. A February referendum had been considered. That timeline would have accelerated the development process but would also force the school district to incur additional costs. A $115 million spending cap for the renovation project was also approved Monday night by a 5-4 vote. Business Administrator for the school district Randy Brown said that figure was based on fund balance analyses of four scenarios, placing the referendum tax increase somewhere between 5.5 percent and 7.3 percent. Stahl did make it known that the ulti-

meetings hopefully will emphasize involvement and commitment from the board. The smaller board size and more frequent meetings, he said, are about having a board that continues to represent and “capture the energy” of the chamber. A smaller group can have more intense, frequent discussions that may result in more decision-making, Squier said. “It is a structure that’s fitting for our time,” he said. Additionally, the committees will be charged with the same purpose, he said, and will feed into the core of the board to produce inflow and outflow of thought. A smaller board can better work with the committees to expand membership involvement and “tap into positive elements the membership has to offer,” Squier said. “We just want to reconnect and engage the group,” he said.

STATE COLLEGE — It’s possible that some recalled yogurt may have turned up in the State College area. Last week, the makers of Chobani Yogurt issued a voluntary recall after hearing from consumers who say they’ve gotten sick after eating the product. The recall is for Chobani Yogurt containers carrying the code 16-012 and best by dates 9/11/2013 – 10/7/2013. Chobani Yogurt says the yogurt in that batch may have been affected by a type of mold called Mucor circinelloides. That type of mold is said to be commonly found in the dairy environment. The company says the mold is unlikely to make anyone sick, but the recall was ordered as a precaution. A State College resident says he recently returned Chobani Yogurt to the Wegman’s store, after discovering he’d purchased yogurt targeted by the recall.

bulging at the seams, so they were definitely tainted.” The Chobani website says some of its product was, “experiencing swelling or bloating.” Fall says he had already eaten two containers before learning about the recall, but he did not experience any illness. He was given a full refund by Wegman’s. Wegman’s spokesperson Jeanne Colleluori did not have details on whether any Chobani Yogurt has turned up in the State College area. However, she says, “We have seen Chobani products returned though our entire chain.” Wegman’s operates stores in six states in the northeast. Weis Markets says it pulled Chobani Yogurt off the shelves at all 165 stores as soon as the recall was announced. Dennis Curtin, the director of public relations for Weis Markets says, “There have been returns,” but he could not say whether any of those returns were in State College. Curtin adds, “There are no reliable reports (concerning) any health issues related to the recall.”

Paterno family filing outlines claims vs. NCAA By MARK SCOLFORO

with wrongdoing but three former school officials are facing charges in an alleged cover up. The plaintiffs wrote that labeling Paterno as a concealer of child abuse caused “concrete harms to the commercial interests of his estate.” Along with Paterno’s family, the plaintiffs also include three faculty members, nine former Penn State football players, former coaches Jay Paterno and Bill Kenney, and five members of the Penn State Board of Trustees, although one is dropping out. NCAA chief legal officer Donald Remy issued a statement in response on Friday, calling the lawsuit “fundamentally flawed” and saying it should be dismissed. “Although (the) plaintiffs may be unhappy with Penn State University’s acceptance of the Freeh Report and its decision to enter the consent decree, the plaintiffs have no legal basis to sue the association,” Remy said. The new filing criticized the NCAA as trying to deflect attention from criticism and shore up its reputation while broadening its authority and imposing “enormous monetary sanctions” for its own benefit. The filing said Kenney, an offensive line coach, and Jay Paterno, the coach’s son and a quarterbacks coach, are examples of how the NCAA allegedly has “negatively and dramatically” affected opportunities and business relationships. “The NCAA defendants minimize the seriousness of accusing all Penn State football coaches of being part of a culture that supposedly allowed child abuse, and ignore the obvious repercussions of stitching a scarlet letter on coaches they labeled complicit in jettisoning the ‘values of human decency,’” the plaintiffs’ lawyers wrote. The NCAA has until Sept. 20 to respond to the new filing, and oral argument in the matter is scheduled for Oct. 29 in the courthouse where Sandusky was convicted last year of 45 counts of child sexual abuse. Paul Kelly, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said any trial in the

Associated Press

HARRISBURG — The family of late Penn State football coach Joe Paterno and others suing the NCAA on Friday filed a new court document Sept. 6 that expanded on how they say they were harmed, from making it harder to sell Paterno memorabilia to branding Penn State coaches with a “scarlet letter.” The 92-page memorandum explained why they think the judge should not throw out their claims against college sports’ governing body over the punishment handed down in the wake of a child sex abuse scandal involving a longtime Paterno assistant, Jerry Sandusky. A courtroom proceeding is scheduled for late next month as the NCAA seeks dismissal of the breach-of-contract, defamation and civil conspiracy claim. The plaintiffs said the market has been diminished for items linked to Paterno, once the winningest coach in Division I football. A consent decree between Penn State and the NCAA a few months after Paterno’s 2012 death stripped the coach of the last 111 wins of his career. “That Paterno is deceased ... does not mean that college football fans cannot still purchase footballs that were signed by him,” they wrote. “But they are less likely to do so after the NCAA defendants’ publication of the disparaging and baseless statements made in the consent decree.” The consent decree also imposes a $60 million fine on the university, temporarily reduced its scholarships and banned it from post-season play for four years. The agreement followed the release of Penn State’s scathing internal review, led by former FBI director Louis Freeh, into how school officials handled complaints about Sandusky’s behavior with boys in 1998 and 2001. Freeh’s report said high-ranking school officials, including Paterno, “concealed critical facts” about Sandusky because they feared bad publicity. Paterno was never charged

decree with the university. “The amount of resources, time and energy devoted to these efforts has been notable. We have been impressed by the professionalism of those leading this undertaking,” the report said. The consent decree imposed a $60 million fine on the university, temporarily reduced its scholarships and banned it from postseason play for four years. It followed the release of Penn State’s scathing internal review, led by Freeh, into how school officials handled complaints about Sandusky’s behavior with boys in 1998 and 2001. The family of late football coach Joe Paterno and others call the Freeh report deeply flawed and are suing the NCAA over the sanctions.

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State has made notable progress in its adoption of reforms meant to protect children from sexual predators like former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, the university’s independent monitor said in an annual report. Former Sen. George Mitchell, Penn State’s athletics integrity monitor, issued his first year-end report on Friday. The university has implemented most of the 119 recommendations laid out in former FBI director Louis Freeh’s report last summer, Mitchell said. The NCAA required Penn State to adopt the recommendations as part of its consent

“While parties may continue to argue about the history that led to the Freeh report and the (consent decree), a consensus has developed that the principles of the heart of these reforms are best practices for the governance of any large university,” Mitchell’s report said. Despite finding that Penn State is making progress, Mitchell did not recommend that the NCAA relax the sanctions. Mitchell said Penn State still needs to upgrade security measures at some facilities, improve records retention, and correct campus “culture” problems. “The favorable report is a significant milestone for us, but it does not represent the conclusion of our efforts,” Penn State President Rodney Erickson said in a statement.

Spaghetti Dinner PSU faculty senate discusses health care Saturday, Sept. 21 4:30-6:30pm

By ADAM LIDGETT StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The Penn State Faculty Senate met Tuesday to discuss recent changes to the faculty health care plan. The controversial issue has caused dissent among many university employees. David Gray, senior vice president for finance and business and Susan Basso, vice president for human resources, along with representatives from Highmark, were on hand to answer questions regarding the changes. Employees are now required to undergo a biometric screening and a physical examination. Workers also must complete a health-risk assessment survey. Those who decline will pay an additional $1,200 for health care coverage. The new policy also requires workers to use of WebMD Health Services to create a personal health profile.

Adults...$8.75 Ages 6-10...$4.25 Under 5 FREE

Having the WebMD profile made many faculty members uneasy. Many say they don’t feel safe having all their private health information on the website. Gray said that if information were given out by the website to third parties for non-health related reasons, the penalties for both the university and Highmark would be severe, as they are both held to HIPAA standards. “We completely understand the natural concerns about private personal health information,” Gray said. “None of us would want to see anybody’s privacy violated. We have really offered everything we can without jeopardizing the security model of the IT systems.” Mike Fiaschetti, Highmark’s president of health markets, said that programs similar to Penn State’s have worked at other locations. “This is not based on my opinion, it is based on independent reviews of a system that has state of the art security and privacy oversight,” Fiaschetti said.

PENN STATE student Morgan McCrimmon poses for a photo with the new-look Nittany Lion Shrine last week. Lion shrine, from page 1 Local master stone maker Phil Hawk was in charge of the masonry, while landscape architect Derek Kalp designed the surrounding greenery. The base of the statue itself was reconstructed, and alums Frank Wagner (class of 2005) and Clarence Miller (class of 2004) noted how the statue appeared to be raised slightly higher than before. They also noted how complex the stonework is, particularly the way the stone steps are carved. “It must’ve taken a long time to carve,” Wagner observed, citing the carefully rounded steps and the way all the stones fit together just right. The stone was taken from Mount Nittany and Bald Eagle ridge. The design of the site was intended to make

it look more aesthetically pleasing, as it is tradition for many students to take graduation pictures by the statue. The types of trees and plants that were used were selected for the way they look in bloom in the spring, around graduation time. In addition, some of the changes were practical ones: the LED lighting, for example, is used not just to heighten dramatic effect but is also used as a security measure for late nights and early mornings. Of what remains of the old site, the Nittany Lion statue itself, perhaps can now be said of the entire shrine, captured by former University President Ralph Hetzel in 1942: “May its beauty and power be a constant inspiration to all of us to be ever loyal to the highest ideals of Penn State.”

Jobless rate drops; fewer look for jobs By Scripps Howard News Service The summer, which otherwise produced a spate of positive economic news, ended on a depressing and worrisome note on the jobs front. The headline number was that the unemployment rate fell to 7.3 percent in August, the lowest level in nearly five years, down from 7.4 percent in July. But the fine print attributes the drop to fewer Americans actively looking for work and thus not being counted as unemployed. And figures revised by the U.S. Department of Labor show that the summer hiring numbers were not as rosy as first seemed. The June and July hiring figures were scaled back a combined 74,000. July went from 162,000 to 104,000, the fewest in more than a year, and June from 188,000 to 172,000. And most of those jobs were in relatively low-wage industries. The August figure was 169,000, but one has to wonder whether if even that lackluster figure will stand up on reexamination. To put those figures in gloomy perspective, from 2012 right up until this summer’s employment flop, the economy had been adding an average of just over 180,000 jobs a month. The labor-force participation rate — the percentage of Americans working or actively looking for work, which has been diminishing in any case — fell from 63.4 percent to 63.2 percent, the lowest in 35 years. Economists debate whether this represents a long-term structural change in the U.S. workforce or whether it is the continuing aftermath of the recession. But the unemployment figures contrasted dramatically with other positive economic reports. The Institute for Supply Management trade group reported, for example, that manufacturers last month expanded at the fastest pace in more than two years and service firms grew at the fastest pace in more than eight. What Wall Street wanted to know was what the new jobless figures meant for Federal Reserve plans to slow and eventually stop its quantitative easing, under which it currently buys $85 billion a month in T-bills and mortgage bonds to keep interest rates low. The Fed had been expected to reduce its bond-buying by $20 billion a month starting this fall, but observers say that could be scaled back to $10 billion a month and maybe delayed altogether depending on what happens in Syria and whether the more rabid House Republicans succeed in bringing government to a halt either by refusing to raise the debt ceiling or refusing to fund government agencies if their appropriations contain money for the Affordable Care Act, or “Obamacare.”

Opinion

Finding the right path in Syria President Barack Obama has asked Congress to authorize U.S. military strikes in Syria, where the government has evidently used chemical weapons in its ongoing civil war with rebels. Obama says international norms against chemical weapons use must be enforced, but polls show a large majority of Americans don’t want the United States to take military action. What should the United States do in Syria? Do we owe anything to the afflicted residents of that country? Columnists Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk debate the issue.

JOEL MATHIS

Let’s establish a frustrating truth upfront: There are no good options in Syria — the best anybody can come up with is a “least bad” option. An attack by U.S. forces probably doesn’t fit that goal. Many more people would die, and it could set off a round of Middle East destabilization that would replace a bunch of bad guys with even worse guys. For now, at least, America should Joel Mathis, stay out. joelmmathis@ So what should gmail.com, is a writer in we do? There are Philadelphia. two main issues to be addressed: the weapons problem and the people problem. The people problem is vexing, but still easier to address. The Syrian civil war has killed more than 100,000 of that country’s citizens. More than 2 million Syrians have fled their homeland — half of them children, half of them becoming refugees just within the last six months. It’s a humanitari-

JOEL MATHIS

an crisis that hasn’t received the attention it should because of all the dithering about possible military responses. This actually represents a security problem for the United States and its ally, Israel. Syria’s neighboring countries — including Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and NATO member Turkey — are struggling to handle the influx of refugees. They could, the United Nations warned this week, be brought to the point of collapse by that strain. So the U.S. should offer support and monetary resources — to shore up those countries individually yes, but also through the U.N. to offer medical care, education, living areas and more. The problem could persist for years, even decades. Let’s get in there and be ready to help for the long haul. It will cost money. It will be worth it. The chemical weapons problem probably can’t be resolved without actually intensifying the magnitude of slaughter and potential for instability in the region. So let’s focus on what we can make better — the refugee situation — and stand ready to lend a hand to new government when Syria’s current regime finally falls. We can’t make things perfect. We can, however, avoid making them worse.

BEN BOYCHUK

When we talk about Syria, what we’re talking about is a face-saving exercise in futility. Obama, who drew a “red line” on chemical weapons before he denied this week ever doing so, would further debase U.S. credibility abroad to shore up his foundering credibility here at home. Mind you, the president had help getting us into this fix from Republicans such as Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who urged the president to bolster U.S. aid to Syrian rebels. Never mind that most of the insurgents we’re arming would gladly kill Americans as soon as they’re finished killing Alawites.

The best reason to intervene in Syria isn’t humanitarian. The military goal would be to deny Assad the use of his chemical weapons arsenal forevermore. But even that isn’t reason enough. Assad may have used nerve gas on his people, but he hasn’t used it on Americans. And eliminating Syria’s chemical weapons would require more than a few airstrikes. It would most likely require troops. Yet a few airstrikes are precisely what the Obama administration has planned. Its goal isn’t to destroy but to “degrade” Assad’s chemical weapons. We won’t even target Assad’s palaces and other strategic targets, for fear of provoking Iran or perhaps even Russia. Many conservatives are asking, “What would Ronald Reagan do?” Some point to the 1983 invasion of Grenada or the 1986 airstrikes on Libya to buttress their case for attacking Syria. Most avert their eyes from Lebanon, another civil war in another country bordering Israel, where Ben Boychuk, 241 Marines died bboychuk@cityin the 1983 ter- journal.org, is rorist bombing of associate editor of the U.S. embassy City Journal. in Beirut. Reagan called the intervention “the worst mistake of my presidency.” Intervening in the Syrian civil war would be a mistake, too. But Obama’s “red line” has been crossed, and the United States has shown itself to be an inept world power whether or not we bomb Assad. God help us when — not if — China and Russia decide to take advantage of our leaders’ incompetence.

BEN BOYCHUK

Public schools need an education The public school system faces daunting challenges: from the federally directed emphasis on standardized tests, from alternative learning choices’ drain on resources, from the need to provide services outside the scope of academics. The weight of these and other problems threatens to crumble the once-vaunted system. What some poor neighborhoods need, for instance, is more on the concept of the historic setDan K. Thomasson is a columnist for tlement houses Scripps-Howard of the late 19th News Service. and early 20th centuries than a place just to teach Dick and Jane how to read, write and cipher. Students need an atmosphere that nurtures, both emotionally and physically, to fill the void caused by poverty. Students in poor neighborhoods also are more likely to come from a household with a single parent. Most colleges of education don’t prepare aspiring teachers

DAN K. THOMASSON

for this kind of environment. That, in turn, would involve a daily contribution of care far longer and certainly exceedingly more expensive than is the norm in public education today. Money alone isn’t the answer. If it were, the District of Columbia public schools — which spent $20,793 per pupil as of 2010-11, one of the highest amounts anywhere — would be the best in the nation instead of being generally rated among the worst. I’ve read recent reports of parents protesting conditions in older schools that lack air conditioning and some other amenities, claiming such settings compromise health and also impede learning. They are correct both in their assessment that attending class in a room approaching 100 degrees is debilitating and that what is needed is adjusting the school year to begin later and continue longer. But wait. That would require radically changing all sorts of schedules that have nothing to do with education and might be inconvenient for parents and teachers. It certifies that for all the lip service paid to improving schools, in many instances, it is not really about student welfare at all. While that may be a bit unfair, it is nevertheless a large portion of the considerations when it comes to making the system run. Take, for instance, the

University of Minnesota’s research, dating to 1996, showing that high school students do better academically if classes don’t start until after 8 a.m. Their attentiveness when they reach the classroom improves dramatically. Have many schools adopted this common-sense approach? No. Why? Because scheduling throughout much of the land is designed for the benefit of working parents, teachers, bus drivers, etc. Another suggestion that I believe would improve the system and would cost little is teaching boys and girls separately, at least into high school. The two sexes generally learn at different paces and with different processes. Since many schools have two sections in every grade, boys should be taught in one and girls in another with socialization provided at recess, cafeterias, and a variety of non-classroom functions. But don’t hold your breath until this takes place, for a number of reasons including political incorrectness. One probably could list a host of simple and expedient changes that would improve the system that have nothing to do with the current testing fad and teacher demands. They aren’t likely to happen either, as students now filing into sweltering classrooms can attest.

Haney to lead Heart and Stroke Walk Lewistown Hospital From Gazette staff reports

STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brooke Haney, a local heart defect survivor, will lead the 2013 Centre County Heart and Stroke Walk from noon to 4 p.m. on Sept. 29 at Millbrook Marsh Nature Center. Hosted by the American Heart Association, the walk is a familyand pet-friendly event that will feature vendors, health information, walk team photos and kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; activities. The walk is the American Heart Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature fundraising event, promoting physical activity and healthy living in a family-fun environment. Haney and her family will participate in the walk as part of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brookeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brigade Team,â&#x20AC;? along with hundreds of other community members, to increase heart disease and stroke awareness as well as raise money for heart disease and stroke research. Haney, who hails from Bigler, was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, a congenital heart disease in which the left side of her heart was underdeveloped.

Before she was 2 years old, Haney had three major heart surgeries, which kept her stable and in good health until she was 5. She was then added to the heart transplant list, as doctors said this was the best chance she had to live a full and active life. Haney received a heart transplant in November 2000, and then another in March 2009. Although she takes daily medications and has regular doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visits, Haney and her new heart remain healthy. Haneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Michelle Homman, credits her daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s survival to the research that the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association fund. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to join the Centre County Heart and Stroke Walk to bring attention to Brookeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and the experience of so many other survivors like her who have benefited from the research funded by the American Heart Association and Heart Walk teams like ours.â&#x20AC;?

West Nile Virus usually Geisinger director named to health care quality panel not cause for alarm From Gazette staff reports HERSHEY — Some Pennsylvanians may be holding their breath wondering what the state’s three recently reported cases of West Nile virus (WNV) mean for enjoying the last few weeks of summer. Last year saw one of the United States’ worst outbreaks of the virus, and news reports late last summer may have led you to believe that you were in danger of catching the disease spread to humans by mosquitoes. What reporters didn’t tell you is that regardless of the threat level, WNV creates no real cause for alarm for most people. According to Wallace Greene, medical director of the Clinical Pathology Diagnostic Virology Laboratory at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, most people won’t even know they are infected. “The big thing is, 75 percent of the people who get the West Nile virus will have no symptoms what-so-ever,” Greene said. “Only 25 percent will have symptoms.” Those symptoms are flu-like and include fever, headache, and fatigue and last three-to-six days. Unlike the flu, no vaccine exists to prevent WNV. Of that 25 percent, one percent will develop an infection in their central nervous system like meningitis or encephalitis, which is suspect if a person shows signs of a changing mental state, or “acting differently.” “That is, fortunately, much, much SM rarer,” he said. “And it is, by far, more common in older adults — 60 and up — than it is with younger people.” Among young people, only one in 700

will have symptoms. Other than the elderly, transplant patients and others whose immune systems are compromised also may need to concern themselves. During the months of July through September, when WNV is most commonly seen, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) advises the people to take the following steps to prevent infection: ■ Remove potential breeding sites by cleaning gutters, draining flower pots, and properly maintaining swimming pools. ■ Wear long sleeves and pants when outside, especially at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active. ■ Use insect repellants containing at least 20 percent DEET. Products do not have to be applied directly to the skin and can be sprayed on a hat or other clothing. Greene says that locally, mosquitoes don’t migrate very far, so just clearing out stagnant water will drastically decrease the likelihood of mosquito bites. “If you get bit in your backyard, it’s either your home-grown mosquitos or those of your immediate neighbors,” he said, adding that there are products available to treat your property that are safe for humans but toxic to the insects. The health department monitors for many mosquito-borne diseases and may also spray if they find mosquitoes testing positive for WNV. Based on the current conditions, including the decreased numbers of mosquitoes and susceptible birds, Greene believes 2013 will be a mild year for the disease despite the recent reporting of three confirmed cases in the state.

From Gazette staff reports

DANVILLE — Dr. Sanjay Doddamani, system director, advanced cardiac disease/ heart failure, Geisinger Health System, has been named to the Yale-New Haven Health Services Corporation (YNHHSC) Center for Outcomes Research and Evaluation (CORE) Technical Expert Panel (TEP) on admission measures for patients with heart failure, diabetes and other chronic conditions. YNHHSC/CORE is a leading national outcomes research center contracted by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to work on select projects designed to assess health care quality and evaluate clinical decision making and comparative effectiveness of specific health care interventions. Doddamani is one of a group of approximately 10 experts nationwide, comprised of clinicians, healthcare economists, consumers, purchasers and experts in quality improvement. The group will provide input on key decisions related to unplanned hospital admissions for patients living with heart failure, diabetes and other chronic conditions with a goal of identifying best practices that will ultimately reduce hospital re-admissions.

“When we see heart failure patients at Geisinger, it is always our goal to make sure we manage this chronic condition to avoid another serious episode that can land a patient back in the hospital multiple times,” said Doddamani. “I’m honored SANJAY to join such a panel DODDAMANI focused on improving our health care delivery system in a way that can impact patients’ lives. We will work tirelessly to evaluate the way chronic diseases are managed with an ultimate goal of keeping people out of the hospital.” Doddamani joined Geisinger in October 2012, and was integral in developing the system’s heart failure initiatives, including the left ventricular assist device (LVAD) program at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center (GWV) in WilkesBarre. In December 2012, the first LVAD was implanted in a patient at GWV, and since then, in partnership with the University of Pennsylvania, 10 Geisinger patients have received the life-saving treatment known as the bionic heart.

Kindergarten Camps held at Bald Eagle Area From Gazette staff reports

PORT MATILDA — Kindergarten Camps were held in August throughout the Bald Eagle Area School District for all students entering kindergarten for the 201314 school year. At Port Matilda Elementary, a three-day camp was held every morning, Aug. 5 to Aug. 7. The students from two kindergarten classes combined for a story and related activity each day. During the day, the students explored their classrooms, ate

snacks, experienced recess and tried out the computer lab. The students had the school “all to themselves” and leisurely had the opportunity to meet their teachers, become familiar with the rules and routines of the kindergarten classrooms, and make new friends. Kindergarten Camp gave the newest members of the BEA student family a mini-experience of kindergarten life — without any of the first-day-of-school stress.

LOCK HAVEN — Lock Haven University’s Clearfield Campus is offering four career development training programs geared toward the healthcare industry. They include clinical medical assistant, dental assistant, electronic health records management and phlebotomy technician. All courses are held in the evening and begin on Oct. 7. Once completed, students will be eligible for national certification exams (not included in the course) in each of the fields of study. The deadline to register for all courses is Sept. 30. The clinical medical assistant program trains students to assist physicians by performing functions related to the clinical responsibilities of a medical office. Instruction includes preparing patients for examination and treatment, routine laboratory procedures, diagnostic testing, technical aspects of phlebotomy and the cardiac life cycle. Students will review important topics including proper lead placements, professional work place behavior, ethics and the legal aspects of healthcare. To be eligible for the 160-hour clinical rotation, students must successfully complete the 140-hour in-class program, submit to a thorough background check and drug screening, and meet other requirements. The 70-hour dental assisting program’s purpose is to familiarize students with all areas of pre-clinical dental assisting and provide training in the professional skills required to function as an assistant in a dental practice. Clinical aspects of this course cover the following key areas: a review of general anatomy and physiology, including head, neck, face and oral cavity; tooth morpholo-

gy; periodontal disease; and infection control. Administrative aspects of the training include the history of dentistry and dental assisting, legal aspects of dentistry and introduction to the dental office. The electronic health record management (EHRM) program prepares students to understand and use electronic records in a medical practice. Electronic health record professionals are educated in the implementation and management of electronic health information using common electronic data interchange systems such as HL7, CDISC and DICOM. The course will include topics such as medical terminology, confidentiality and HIPPA, use of Medcin software, code sets and more. Students will participate in 95 hours of classroom and computer lab training focusing on the necessary components consistent with maintaining the medical, legal and regulatory requirements of the health record and database. The phlebotomy technician program prepares professionals to collect blood specimens from clients for the purpose of laboratory analysis. Students will become familiar with all aspects of blood collection and develop comprehensive skills to perform veinpunctures completely and safely. Classroom and lab work includes terminology, anatomy and physiology, blood collection procedures, specimen hands-on practice and training in skills and techniques to perform puncture methods. This program is 90 hours of classroom training and there is no outside externship included. Students may register for these programs by visiting the LHU Clearfield website, www.lhup.edu/clearfield/programs/ extended.htm or by contacting Casey Friberg at (814) 768-3405.

Urschel named a candidate for Senior CLASS Award

FINAL PREPARATIONS

From Gazette staff reports

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State senior guard John Urschel of Williamsville, N.Y. has been selected as one of 30 candidates for the Senior CLASS Award for college football. To be eligible for the Senior CLASS Award, a student-athlete must have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition. The 6-foot-3, 301-pound guard has started 13 consecutive games for Coach Bill O’Brien’s squad and played in 26 straight games, earning first team All-Big Ten honors last season after blocking for a 1,000-yard rusher and 3,000-yard passer. Urschel is on the Watch Lists for the 2013 Outland Trophy and the Rotary Lombardi Award. Considered the nation’s premier college football scholar-athlete, Urschel has a 4.0 grade-point average, earning his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mathematics over the past four years. The former Canisius High School standout anchors the Nittany Lions’ offensive line and is working on a second master’s degree in math education. A 2012 first team College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-American, Urschel has an opportunity this fall to earn his fourth

straight nod on the Academic All-Big Ten squad, his third selection to the Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-District team and his second Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-America selection. Urschel taught a section of Math 041: Trigonometry and Analytic Geometry during the 2013 spring semester and is teaching a section of Math 230: Integral Vector Calculus this semester, in addition to his academic and football responsibilities. Urschel has participated in the Penn State Lift for Life, THON events, the Relay for Life and the Special Olympics Pennsylvania State Summer Games during his career. The 30 Senior CLASS candidates will be narrowed to 10 finalists midway through the regular season, and those 10 names will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, coaches and fans, who will select one candidate who best exemplifies excellence in the four Cs of community, classroom, character and competition. The award program is designed exclusively for college seniors who are utilizing their complete athletic eligibility, remaining committed to their university and pursuing the many rewards a senior season can bring. Premier Sports Management manages the award.

Fall Antique Machinery Show draws crowds at Penns Cave By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — As the steam pressure climbed to 100 pounds per square inch, Andy Clarke pulled a rope on a 1915 Case steam tractor owned by his uncle, Jim Markle. A sharp blast from the whistle startled nearby spectators. He pulled a lever slowly, and the giant machine came to life, spinning its large flywheel, and making a “chuff-chuff” sound. A long flat belt on the flywheel drove a similar vintage Frick grain separator about 20 feet away. As shocks of cut grain were fed into the machine, it began spitting out straw on one side and clean grain on the other. Spectators watched in wonder as they witnessed a rare view of rural life a century ago. Scenes like this were repeated

often at the Nittany Antique Machinery Association (NAMA) annual Fall Show, held Sept. 5-8 at Penns Cave. NAMA’s first show was held at Penns Cave farm in September 1975. The attendance and enthusiasm exceeded expectations. With the success of the first show it was decided to hold a show annually, on the first weekend after Labor Day. This fall show has grown to be one of the largest of its kind east of the Mississippi. Each year, one brand of farm equipment is featured at this show. This year’s brand was John Deere, and NAMA secretary Bob Corman said there were 405 of the green machines registered as of Friday. The display area was a sea of green and yellow, but other brands were well represented by nearly 350 pieces, according to Corman.

In addition to the antique tractors on display, hit and miss engines and antique cars and trucks were shown. Demonstrations of a working sawmill and a cider press, powered by antique engines, were performed for the huge crowd of spectators. Antique tractor pulls happened and parades of tractors and equipment were held each day. The show also featured a flea market with around 800 vendors. In the hit and miss engine display area, Ethan Hoffman fed ears of field corn into a corn sheller powered by a John Deere engine. Hoffman and his father Glenn travel every year from their home in Richfield to attend the show. They are members of the Lost Creek Hit ‘N Miss Engine Association in Juniata County. This group had three canopies filled with about 15 engines powering the

corn sheller, water pumps and a generator which supplied electricity for a camper. Jim and Paula Smith of Spring Mills brought a 1929 REO Speedwagon dump truck for display. Jim Smith found the truck at an auction near Centre Hall. It had a badly deteriorated wooden bed, which he rebuilt, but the hydraulic dump mechanism was functional. The truck’s body has not been repainted, and instead shows a patina of faded paint and surface rust, as well as minor dents and scratches. “People ask me when I’m going to restore it, and I tell them it is restored,” said Smith. Smith likes the original look of the truck, and says it gives the vehicle character. The worn and faded name of the R. Gervasoni Coal Company in Bordentown, N.J., still adorns the

cab doors. Smith plans to leave it that way. The truck has just 30,000 miles on the odometer, and its flathead six cylinder engine still runs well. Another interesting and unusual truck shown was a 1950 Chevrolet Canopy Express truck owned by Boyd Toner. Toner is the third generation of his family to own the truck, which his grandfather acquired from the original owner in Lock Haven. Toner’s father, Donald Toner, said the body style, which is a panel truck with side and rear openings covered by roll-up cloth curtains, was a rare factory option, and that only 53 of them were made on the 1950 model. The canopy trucks were typically used by farmers and other merchants as traveling stores, selling farm produce and other items at roadside venues.

Penns Valley begins new school year By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — A new school year began on Sept. 3 in the Penns Valley Area School District. Buses were rolling at sunrise, transporting students to every school in the district. High school principal Dustin Dalton reported that construction of expanded locker rooms, a multi-purpose room and a cardio room on the building’s east end should be finished in November, and will be usable for much of the school year. The school administration’s transition to new computer software caused some problems with scheduling and locker assignments on the first day. “We’ll sort all that out,” said Dalton. Dalton said that teachers are fine-tuning the school’s curriculum and teaching strategies. Last year laptop computers were issued to students in grades 9 through 12, and this year that program has been expanded to include students in seventh and eighth grades. He said the district is considering issuing iPads to fifth and sixth grade students. “We’re in the instant data age. If you want to know something all you have to do is look. That’s what our kids are used to.

What we’re trying to do is to take that and roll it out in the classroom,” said Dalton. “We can ask deeper and harder questions because the students are able to look those up.” Danielle Yoder, principal of the Centre Hall and Miles Township elementary schools said: “We’re following a lot of the same initiatives, and are continuing to embed technology into the lessons. We’re embedding iPads into reading, math, science, and social studies, deepening the understanding of them.” She noted that computers are one of the many tools teachers can use to engage and empower learning. “One of our visions is trying to make a difference in every child’s life every day,” she said. “That is our goal and we will work hard to succeed at that.” She stressed that the schools want input from parents and the community regarding what the schools can do to make sure that the students become productive citizens. “We want them on our side and we want to work with them,” said Yoder. Yoder and Dalton, who are both in their second year as principals in the district, said they are looking forward to another very successful year in the Penns Valley Area School District.

The event began in 1984 when a group of locals joined together to organize a

walk to fight against hunger and poverty. Members from various congregations in the area participated to raise $10,000. Since then, the annual event has raised $426,000, including $30,000 in 2012. The highest totals were raised between 2007 and 2012, despite difficult economic times. CROP Walk organizers say they believe that is a statement about the community and its willingness to help those in need.

University Park Airport to begin offering non-stop flights to Chicago From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — Beginning Jan. 7, 2014, there will be a direct, non-stop flight twice daily between University Park Airport and Chicago O’Hare International Airport via United Airlines Express. The United Express flights will be operated by ExpressJet, which uses a 50-seat regional jet aircraft. Flight reservations are available immediately. “We are thrilled to add Chicago to our list of non-stop cities,” said James Meyer, director of the Centre County Airport Authority. “Chicago is ranked no. 3 among the top destination cities for passengers in this region, and it offers a convenient connect-

ing city for westbound flights.” Times for the two daily flights are expected to allow for easy connections to the West Coast and the Far East. These flights will add to the robust schedule currently serving Centre County. This can only be a positive development toward acquiring additional air service, Meyer said, something the Airport Authority is always working on. “Non-stop service to Chicago O’Hare has been a priority,” said Bryan Rodgers, director of University Park Airport. “This new scheduling option brings us closer to our goal of offering our travelers unparalleled convenience, comfort, reliability and flexibility.”

Fall Makeover

If it’s time for a change, this is the season to do it By SAMI HULINGS

shulings@centrecountygazette.com

The colorful leaves and crisp cool air of autumn brings new trends and makeover ideas to fall in love with. The newest in fashion, hair and makeup will have you ready to happily trade in your swimming suit and sandals for sweaters, boots and scarves. From leather and houndstooth, to red hair hues and smoky eyes, edge and glamour combine to create must-have makeover essentials for fall.

CLOTHING

If your closet is in desperate need of a fall makeover, look to these trends for chic new additions: ■ Leather, and lots of it: This fall, fashionistas will find leather on everything — skirts, tops, dresses, pants and shoes. Motorcycle jackets and ankle boots will be huge, adding an edgy yet feminine touch to any wardrobe. ■ Varsity jackets: Ever reminisce about your teen years? Varsity jackets, a new trend for fall, will help you relive your high school memories without the drama, bad hair and braces. ■ Collars: To offset the toughness of the leather trend, girlish Peter Pan collars will play a big role in fall trends. Whether cotton, lace or sheer, collars add a touch of feminine charm to tops and blouses. ■ Houndstooth: This classic print is back in style as a major work wear trend. Skirts, tops, jackets and even pants can be found in the pattern often described as broken checks.

HAIR COLOR

■ Cherry cola brown (dark auburn): Per-

fect for those with olive skin tones or darker hair, cherry cola brown is the newest and most popular shade of auburn. Match this color with long layers for the perfect hayride hairstyle. ■ Copper red: As the go-to red for those with fair skin, copper red adds fire and cinnamon spice to a hairstyle without weighing it down too much. ■ Honey blonde: As winter is the time to darken hair, blondes should look towards a mix of blonde and brunette hair to create the perfect hue of honey. ■ Chocolate caramel: Chocolate caramel is the perfect color for brunettes who aren’t looking for a drastic change. Pair a chocolate brown with warm copper highlights to create a gorgeous fall hot chocolate color.

MAKEUP

New makeup trends complete fall fashion overhauls. Huge trends this year follow the face paint of yesteryears, specifically those of the 1950s and 1960s. Mad Men style anyone? ■ Smokey and cat eye: A glamorous, edgy sooty dark shadow combine with winged-eyeliner is the perfect eye trend for this fall. A smokey lower lash liner is classic, but sultry and mysterious, perfect for day to night transitions. Wear a lower lash liner to the office during the day. Add drama with smokey eyeshadow and layers of mascara to your eyelashes for a night on the town. ■ Copper eyes: For those who think the smokey eye is a bit too dramatic, copper and crimson eyeshadows are less vivid trends. Bringing autumn classic colors to your face, copper and crimson shadows are romantic and rich colors that compliment any eye color.

Bella Sicilia For Bella Sicilia owner Katie Catanese, family and food are the perfect ingredients for success. Running the pizzeria at 2782 Earlystown Rd., in Centre Hall with her boyfriend, Michael Albegiani, and involving the couple’s young son, Jackson, creates the exact family atmosphere Catanese strives for. After attending Penn State for hotel and restaurant management, Catanese met Albegiani while working at a restaurant. As a 10 year old, Albegiani had moved from Sicily to America with his family. His family has been involved in the restaurant business ever since. “He’s been doing this his whole life,” Catanese said. Because of this, it seemed only seemed fitting for Catanese and Albegiani to open their own restaurant together. And so, Bella Sicilia was born. “We’re a family-run place. It’s me and Mike. Our little boy Jackson is here all the time, too. People always come to see him,” Catanese said. “People get treated like family here. All of the regulars we know. People come in and they’re treated more like family than just a customer. They are getting a family experience when they come.” As an Italian restaurant and pizzeria with deep family roots, Bella Sicilia offers

many different styles of pizza, including regular thin crust, Sicilian, Chicago deep dish, and stuffed, as well as various specialty pies. The restaurant also offers Italian classics such as stromboli, calzone, pasta dishes, subs, salads and a variety of appetizers. According to Catanese, the menu is what sets Bella Sicilia apart from other pizzerias in the area. “We’re not a typical pizzeria. I feel like at a lot of pizzerias you eat the same thing. You go and you know what you are getting. It’s pretty much the same most places. But at our place, we use really great ingredients,” she said. Catanese said everything from sauces to doughs and breads are made from scratch at her restaurant. “We cook everything fresh, every day. We don’t come in and cook a ton of bread. We cook it as we need it so it’s always fresh,” she said. In addition to homemade ingredients, Catanese said the variety of items Bella Sicilia offers creates a uniqueness not offered at other pizzerias. “We like to do different things. Our pizzas are a lot different than other places. We are always trying new things. We don’t like to offer the same thing as everybody else.” Riding on the success of its current lo-

THE MENU at Bella Sicilia in Centre Hall features an eclectic mix of Italian specialties. cation, Bella Sicilia will be opening a second restaurant in Bellefonte. Though the exact opening date is still in the works, Catanese said it will be sometime at the end of September or the beginning of October. This idea came from hearing great feedback from patrons in the Bellefonte area. “We have a lot of people who drive over here from Bellefonte and we just want to please our customers and expand our business,” Catanese said.

Penn State pushes the right buttons in 45-7 win in home opener By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State football fans have seen this before. Offense not clicking? Have patience. Don’t rush and make a big mistake. Rely on your offensive line and your running game. Use the kicking game and play field position. Count on your defense to get threeand-outs. Wait for your chance. And then pounce. It’s a formula that worked many times in the past, and it worked again in the Nittany Lions’ not-that-easy 45-7 victory over feisty Eastern Michigan at Beaver Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Nursing a 10-point lead in a very competitive game into the middle of the third quarter, Penn State could not sustain a drive and was forced to punt three consecutive times. After each punt, the improving Penn State defense forced a three-and-out. And after each punt, EMU started with worsening field position — from their own 47, to their 20, and at last to their 12. Finally, starting on the EMU 33, Penn State saw its chance. A 20-yard Zach Zwinak run, a gutsy, fourth-down pass to Brandon Moseby-Felder, and a seven-yard touchdown run by Zwinak gave Penn State some breathing room and a 24-7 lead. It didn’t take long after that. Four minutes later, freshman quarterback Christian Hackenberg found Allen Robinson alone in the EMU secondary and led him perfectly for 45-yard touchdown — 31-7. Three minutes after that, Bill Belton, in a breakout performance, broke free up the middle and ran untouched 50 yards for another PSU touchdown and now a 38-7 lead that solidly put the game into the win col-

umn for the 2-0 Nittany Lions. Freshman Akeel Lynch put the finishing touches on the day with an 18-yard run with four minutes to play. “It started slow,” Penn State coach Bill O’Brien said, “and it needs to pick up in the beginning of the game which we need to work on. “But obviously it finished the way we wanted it to, which is good. It’s always good to score 45 points and it’s good to shut a team out, which our defense did. A lot of good things to point out, but also a lot of improvements to make.” One of those good things to point out was the play of the PSU running backs, Zwinak, Belton, and red-shirt freshman Lynch. Zwinak, a 1,000-yard rusher last season, ran for 42 yards on seven carries and scored two touchdowns. Belton rushed for a career-high 108 yards and scored two touchdowns, and Lynch, in his first action of the season, also ran for 108 yards and a touchdown. In all, Penn State rushed for 251 yards and five touchdowns in the game. “The line did a great job,” Belton said about his 50-yard TD. “It was like a domino effect. Everybody fell down, and they gave me a crease. I saw it open up and I took full advantage of it. “First game back at Beaver Stadium, we just wanted to give the fans a show. We came out here as a team a performed well.” Another was the play of Hackenberg. After a difficult first quarter in which he

UNIVERSITY PARK — State College Area High School’s Alex Kenney is fast. How fast? Well, he’s not disclosing that information. At Penn State’s Media Day on Aug. 8, Kenney refused to talk about his 40-yard time. “I don’t think I can tell you that, man,” Kenney said. “That’s some confidential information.” In the whole scheme of things, Kenney’s 40-yard time doesn’t matter much. Penn State coach Bill O’Brien wants Kenney contributing in one fashion or another. Could be as a wideout. Could be as

a punt or kick returner. Make no mistake about it: At 6-feet, 190 pounds, Kenney is a burner. While he’d like to see the field on special teams, he knows that he’s got some stiff competition. He will be forced to battle the likes of Richy Anderson, Bill Belton, Geno Lewis, Akeel Lynch and Trevor Williams for the return job. “I’m confident in my ability. I can’t say that I’m faster than anyone on the field,” Kenney said. “But I like to think that I can run with almost anybody.” In addition to playing on special teams, Kenney is hoping that he’ll be in the mix Kenney, Page 22

PENN STATE freshman quarterback Christian Hackenberg unleashes a pass during Saturday’s 45-7 win over Eastern Michigan at Beaver Stadium. Hackenberg threw for 311 yards and a pair of scores in the rout.

made some overthrows and even gave up a fumble that led to EMU’s only score, all eyes were on the freshman and how he would react. He responded with a 23 for 33, 311-yard performance that set a record for most yards ever by a freshman quarterback at Penn State. So far this season, Hackenberg in two games has completed 45 of 66 passes for a 68-percent completion percentage. It also doesn’t hurt to have a receiver like Allen Robinson, who had another big game with seven catches for 129 yards and the 45-yard touchdown. “We started off slow and really hurt ourselves,” Hackenberg said, “but we were really resilient today, built on our positives, and finished the game. “I felt a lot more confident, and I realized I can pick up defenses quicker that I was. Even from the first snap this game, the game slows down the more you see things happen. So it was a big difference for me.” And the Penn State defense grew more and more effective as the game progressed. The Lions conceded some yardage to EMU quarterback Tyler Benz and the Eagle of-

fense early, but Penn State played shutdown defense in the second half. As the offense was waiting for its chances, the defense gave up just 44 yards of offense to EMU after halftime and just two first downs. Penn State sacked Benz three times for losses of 21 yards and gave up only 61 total yards rushing. Bronson Hill was the Eagles’ leading rusher with 38 yards on 13 carries. “I think we all got after it today,” Penn State defensive tackle DaQuan Jones said. “It was a step up from last week. We knew this was a big game. They were a good football team. It doesn’t matter who you play against, you have to come back and respond. And I think we did that coming down the stretch.” Penn State will likely need another strong defensive effort if it is to get to 3-0. Central Florida, who defeated Akron and FIU by a combined total of 76-7 will invade Beaver Stadium on Saturday evening looking to get its season off to a 3-0 start. This will be the first meeting as head coaches for UCF’s George O’Leary and Penn State’s Bill O’Brien. O’Brien worked as an assistant for O’Leary at Georgia Tech from 1995 to 2001 and was the offensive coordinator in 2001. Penn State assistants Stan Hixon and Mac McWhorter also worked for O’Leary at Georgia Tech. UCF is led on offense by 6-foot-4, 230pound redshirt junior quarterback Blake Bortles who has completed 30 of 43 passes for 528 yards and four touchdowns. Bortles favorite targets are Rannell Hall (7 catches, 181 yards), Jeff Godfrey and J.J. Worton. On the ground, 6-foot-1, 215-pound junior Storm Johnson rushes for an average of 94 yards per game and has scored five touchdowns. In all, UCF averages 161 yards rushing per game. Defensively, the Knights give up just 81 yards per game on the ground and 129 yards through the air. Penn State leads the all-time series against the Knights, 2-0.

The good, the bad and the ugly ■ The Bad: Attendance. It was a gorgeous September Saturday in Happy Valley. However, at kickoff, there were a lot of empty seats. As the afternoon progressed, the stadium filled in. Penn State announced attendance 92,863, though reporters in the press box estimated totals closer to 80,000. ■ The Ugly: Eastern Michigan. One of the more inferior opponents on Penn State’s schedule, the Eagles simply could not keep up with the Nittany Lions. The early 7-0 lead was a bit of a fluke. Once the Lions got their act together, it was an easy day at the office. This week’s opponent should be a more formidable foe.

Penn State’s 45-7 win over Eastern Michigan was pretty much what everyone expected. There were plenty of highlights in the lopsided home opener. Penn State fell behind, 7-0, but rallied to score 45 unanswered points. The Nittany Lions are now 2-0 with Central Florida coming to town for a 6 p.m. tilt in Beaver Stadium this week. A closer look at Saturday’s good, bad and ugly. ■ The Good: The Penn State ground game. Bill Belton had a big day, carrying nine times for 108 yards. Akeel Lynch was also a factor, carrying 13 times for 108 yards. The Penn State offensive line opened some gaping holes for the duo, who combined for three scores.

Kenney, from page 19 at wide receiver. Last season, Kenney appeared in 11 games, catching 17 balls for 172 yards. His longest was a 24-yard reception. He’s hopeful that his attitude will get him on the field. “I honestly just do what the coaches tell me to and use my speed and my abilities to get open,” Kenney said. “Hopefully, we can use that to our advantage this year.” With a year under his belt, Kenney said he’s even more comfortable in O’Brien’s system. “It’s going really well. We’re just going to continue to work hard. I think it’s going to pay off,” Kenney said. In the opener against Syracuse, Kenney caught one pass for 8 yards. Because he plays wideout, Kenney has gotten a good look at the two young quarterbacks — junior college transfer Tyler Ferguson and true freshman Christian Hackenberg. According to Kenney, he’s

been impressed with both. “They both look very impressive. Obviously, they’re working very hard,” Kenney said. Kenney enjoyed great success at State College Area High School. He knows that every time he’s on the field, he’s not only representing the blue and white, he’s representing the maroon and silver — and all of Centre County, for that matter. “It’s an honor. I love where I grew up. It’s a great opportunity to play in front of my home fans. I just wanna make them proud,” Kenney said. According to Kenney, there’s nothing that compares to running out of the tunnel on a fall Saturday with thousands of fans cheering you on. It’s something he’s dreamt of, he said, since he was a youngster. “It’s been a lifelong dream and it’s finally here,” he said. When it comes to playing time, though, Kenney doesn’t worry about how many

snaps he’s on the field for. He knows O’Brien will put the right pieces in place so the team enjoys success. “He’s one of the better coaches in the game. He’s the most knowledgeable dude I’ve ever been around. He knows the game so well. He’s going to continue to get better, continue to get us better and make us successful,” Kenney said. When he came to Penn State, O’Brien was a relative unknown. Now, he’s regarded as one of the best coaches in the Big Ten, if not the nation. “It’s an honor to play under him. I think everyone on offense and defense understands that. We don’t take it for granted having such a great coach,” Kenney said. While O’Brien’s playbook features a lot of throws to the tight end, Kenney knows the wideouts will be heavily involved in the offense. “I think we can be very successful. We have a lot of weapons … the best receiver in the Big Ten,” Kenney said. “Everyone has the ability to make plays.”

Eagles surge to victory over P-O By JUSTIN PACKER

correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

WINGATE — For the second time in as many weeks, Bald Eagle Area’s head coach Jack Tobias looked across the field and saw a Centre County rival team — this week’s challenge was a hungry and physical Philipsburg-Osceola team. “It is always fun to play against other county teams,” Tobias said. “Our guys always look forward to these games.” The joy was evident as BEA downed the visiting Mounties, 40-13, Friday night at Alumni Stadium. The Eagles jumped on some first half miscues and never left off the throttle for remainder of the Centre County showdown. “The big key were the two turnovers,” P-O head coach Jeff Vroman said. “Those two turnovers in our own territory proved to be the key to the game. I thought we came out and moved the ball well on our first two plays, then turn the ball over. That hurts.” While the turnovers hindered the Mounties, the Eagles got a solid performance from the entire team, but the play of senior Dakota Bartley and sophomore Josh Fye rose about the rest. “I thought our kids played great,” Tobias said. “We wanted to set the tempo in the first half. We wanted to run the ball and the pass game opened it up nicely for us. They were excited coming into the game and the guys played with a lot of emotion.” Senior tailback Dakota Bartley carved up the Mountie defense with 134 yards on 13 carries with two touchdowns. “I’m happy to see Dakota’s hard work starting to pay off,” Tobias said. “He has put a lot of effort

in to make sure his senior season is a success.” Fye made the most of his night, recovering two fumbles in the first half and setting up BEA’s first two scores of the game. “Josh is playing through the roof,” Tobias said. “He is only a sophomore and has put two great games together. He flies around is always around the ball. He played a great game for us tonight. Anytime you can create points off of a turnover, it gives you momentum. Josh set us up nicely to do that tonight.” For P-O, Dustin Shuey and Curtis Matsko led the way on the ground, combining for 140 of P-O’s 210 rushing yards on the day. “We wanted to utilize them a lot tonight,” Vroman said. “We worked off-tackle a bit and I thought they were hitting the holes well. We can build on that, we just never were able to get back into contention after those turnovers.” The Eagles scored on their second possession of the game, after the first of Fye’s fumble recoveries. On the third play after the turnover, Bartley took a pitch to outside and scampered 37 yards for the opening score. “We knew we had to capitalize in big situations,” Tobias said. “I have pounded that into their heads from the first day and it showed there. Dakota made a nice move and found the corner. His speed took him the rest of the way.” On the second of Fye’s first-half recoveries, Bryan Greene sped to the outside for 21 yards to the end zone and gave the Eagles a 14-0 lead with just three minutes off the clock in the second half. Schall tacked on two field goals (35, 26) before the end of the half,

BALD EAGLE AREA’S Bryce Greene finds a hole during Friday night’s game with Philipsburg-Osceola. The Eagles won the contest, 40-13. giving the Eagles a 20-0 lead heading into the half. BEA’s first drive of the second half was set up by a nice punt return by Bryan Greene, sparking a quick three-play that saw the Eagles eat up 31 yards and ended with a 1-yard Bartley touchdown run. The Eagles found the end zone for a second time in the third quarter. This time Jason Jones plunged into the end zone on a quarterback keeper, giving the Eagles a 34-0 lead with 1:59 remaining in the third quarter. P-O found the scoreboard early in the fourth quarter, as fullback Mason Pryde pounded home a 1-yard touchdown run, cutting the

deficit to 34-6. Bald Eagle Area answered right back after a touchback, as Jones connected with Bryce Greene’s quick slant that quickly turned into six points for the Eagles. The Mounties didn’t shy away. Down 40-6, Matsko capped off an eight-play drive with a 3-yard touchdown run, providing the final score of 40-13. “We moved the football well,” Vroman said. “It is the key mistakes at crucial times that is hurting us. We have to avoid these things if we want to be successful.” BEA amassed nearly 400 yards of total offense. “We are getting better with each play,” Tobias said. “We just

need to keep learning and keep things moving in the right direction.” The Eagles (2-0) will travel to Penns Valley on Friday. “Every week, we know the ladder gets higher,” Tobias said. “We can’t be happy with where we started at in week one or where we ended week two. We have to keep getting better.” Philipsburg-Osceola (0-2) will host Bellefonte. “There are a lot of positives to build off here,” Vroman said. “I like the kids’ attitudes. They aren’t going to give up and they aren’t going to push the blame off. They are going to get back to work.”

State High rolls past Central Mountain, 71-28 By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

sports@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — It’s often said that a football team improves the most between its first and second games. For the State College Little Lions that second-game improvement amounted to a total of nine touchdowns and 61 points. After being stopped on two late drives and held to only one touchdown in its 14-10 loss at Bethlehem Liberty on Aug 31, State Col-

lege was barely stopped at all in a 71-28 romp over Central Mountain in last Friday’s home opener in brand new (mostly) Memorial Stadium. The Little Lions moved the ball seemingly at will against the Wildcats. They ran up 19 first downs, 270 yards rushing, and 403 total yards of offense. Jordan Misher led the attack for SC with 89 yards rushing and two touchdowns, while his brother Anthony was even busier and accounted for one touchdown and 33 yards rushing,

another on a 24-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Pat Irwin, and still another on a first-quarter pick-six of a Bryce Bitner pass. The Little Lions build leads as big as 17-0 and 44-14 in the first half, and then put the game away for good with touchdowns on four consecutive possessions in the second half. “The line was just amazing,” Jordan Misher said. “Great holes, great blocking. The right side and the left side did a great job of getting on their blocks and staying

with them. The holes were open, and I just had to make my cuts. “The slots and the wide outs were doing their jobs on their blocks and it was a really good job with them. “We just did our jobs. We came out here and played hard, didn’t give up, and kept on going.” From the very beginning, the game was in the hands of the Little Lions, but thanks to the play of quarterback Bitner and all-purpose back Tyler Pavalko, Central Mountain kept it mostly competi-

tive until mid-way through the third quarter. A field goal, Anthony Misher’s pick-six, and a 37-yard touchdown pass from Irwin to John Weakland put SC ahead 17-0. The Wildcats, however, came back and kept playing and actually scored three first-half touchdowns (an eightyard Pavalko run, a one-yard Bitner sneak, and a 48-yard TD pass to Pavalko) that under normal circumstances would be just fine.

BELLEFONTE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A week one loss to rival Bald Eagle Area didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sit well with first-year Bellefonte coach Shanon Manning. Unfortunately, things didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any better for the Red Raiders in week two. Bellefonte made too many mistakes, fell behind early and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make up the ground in a 47-0 defeat at Rogers Stadium on Friday night. Manning was not pleased with his squadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Too often, too early,â&#x20AC;? Manning said of the miscues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once you get the air out of your sails like that, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to bounce back. When you give up a quick 20 points, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very difficult to recover from that. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what happened.â&#x20AC;? Huntingdon, still smarting from a 26-20 loss to Mount Union to open the season, wasted little time getting on the scoreboard. After Bellefonte (0-2) fizzled on its opening drive, the Red Raiders were forced to punt the ball away. The Bearcats Rhett Stetchock gathered in the punt and went 56 yards for the touchdown. Just like that, it was 7-0. But the Bearcats werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done. They would tack on three more scores before the first stanza was over. They led, 27-0, with 2:47 remaining in the quarter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our guys were really focused all week,â&#x20AC;? said Huntingdon coach Mike Hudy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All cylinders were clicking tonight.â&#x20AC;? The Bearcats (1-1) were led by running

back Mitchell Lauer, who carried the ball 14 times for 114 yards and a pair of scores. Huntingdon added two more touchdowns before the half was over and led 40-0 at the intermission. Inside the locker room, Hudy tried to keep his players focused. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I made them keep things in perspective. I told them â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;if you have a lapse in intensity, they can come right back on you.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; We tried to use it as a teaching tool,â&#x20AC;? Hudy said. Bellefonteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best chance to score came on a pass from sophomore quarterback Mark Armstrong to senior wideout Nick Leiter in the second quarter. On a thirdand-10 from their own 29-yard line, Armstrong put a pass right on the money. It appeared that Leiter went in for a 71-yard touchdown, but officials ruled he stepped out of bounds and the apparent TD was called back. Simply put, it was that kind of night for the Red Raiders. At halftime, Manning told his charges to remain focused. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ignore the deficit and keep gameplanning as if it were 0-0. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the approach weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken. This one is on me â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do what it takes to make sure we keep getting better,â&#x20AC;? Manning said. The Red Raiders will go back to the drawing board this week. They had just 121 yard in total offense, so Manning knows that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work to be done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We gotta come back and work on the basics â&#x20AC;Ś keeping the ball off the ground, tackling, special teams,â&#x20AC;? Manning said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All

TIM WEIGHT/For The Gazette

BELLEFONTE FIRST-YEAR head coach Shanon Manning could only watch as his squad fell to 0-2 in the young season. the little things people take for granted. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just not doing them real well. Two weeks in a row, those are the things we have

to work on. It needs to get done.â&#x20AC;? Bellefonte will visit Philipsburg-Osceola this week in a battle of two 0-2 squads.

Week 3 previews: State High hosts a powerhouse By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

sports@centrecountygazette.com

There are three notable games on the schedule this week. Undefeated Bald Eagle Area visits once-beaten Penns Valley, Bellefonte faces Philipsburg-Osceola in a battle of teams looking for their first wins and State College plays host to a West Virginia powerhouse. A closer look at the games:

MARTINSBURG, W. VA. (2-0) AT STATE COLLEGE (1-1)

Martinsburg comes into State College as the three-time, 3A (big school) West Virginia state champions. The Bulldogs are 2-0 so far this season with wins over H.D. Woodson (D.C.), 20-14, and Sherando, Va., 27-13. Martinsburg was 13-1 last season in its quest for the state title, and it had an over 40-point margin of victory over its opponents. Quarterback Malique Watkins handles the ball for Martinsburg, which is primarily a running team. Watkins ran for 119 yards and a touchdown against Sherando as the Bulldogs built up a 27-0 lead and coasted in for the win. Watkins is helped by a stable of running backs, including Eric Brown, Deamonte Lindsay, and Malik Cobb. Martinsburg has played in seven of the 12 3A West Virginia state championship games since 2000, and it is presently ranked No. 1 in the state this season. State College, after an opening-season loss to Bethlehem Liberty, rebounded in a big way against Central Mountain on Friday night with a big 71-28 win over the Wildcats. Little Lion coach Al Wolski said before the season that SC had a number of good athletes with speed, and that showed against CM. Jordan and Anthony Misher were all over the field for the Little Lions and combined for five touchdowns and 121 yards rushing and five touchdowns. Anthony also passed for a score on a halfback option and scored another on a pick-six interception. SC quarterback Pat Irwin also had a big game as he threw for 78 yards and two touchdowns and ran 78 yards and

scored another two touchdowns. The Little Lion offense, especially its outside running game, looked almost unstoppable against Central Mountain. Outlook â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Martinsburg looks impressive, but State College routinely plays against the best teams in Pennsylvania like Central Dauphin and North Allegheny. The Little Lions are young, however, and did give up yards against Central Mountain, especially in the return game. Wolski said it will be interesting to find out how good West Virginia high-school football is, and it looks like we will have an answer to that on Friday. Kickoff at Memorial Field is set for 7 p.m.

BELLEFONTE (0-2) AT PHILIPSBURG-OSCEOLA (0-2)

Something has to give here, and either the Red Raiders or the Mounties will come away with a much-needed win. Bellefonte, under new head coach Shanon Manning, has had a rough start in 2013. A first-game, 47-7, loss to BEA was followed by another one-sided loss to Huntingdon by a score of 40-0 last Friday. Bellefonte is led by sophomore quarterback Mark Armstrong and running backs Doylan Dietrich, Nick Jabco, Gage Fischer, and Austin Jackson. Nick Leiter, last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top receiver, is back and is joined by Dietrich and Kellen Moss on the outside. Philipsburg-Osceola has also lost its first two games but in closer affairs. The Mounties lost to Line Mountain, 37-27, in Week 1 and then dropped a 40-13 decision to tough Bald Eagle Area last Friday. The Mounties are averaging 91 yards per game passing and another 183 per game on the ground. With an average of 20 points per game on offense, P-O can score and it has drastically cut its turnovers from last season. Curtis Matsko leads the offense from the quarterback spot, and he has good size (6-foot-1, 240 pounds) is a threat to pass or run. Kyle Hawkins, Mason Pryde (5-foot-11, 210 pounds), Dustin Shuey, Aaron Mason, and Ben Webster

have been doing the bulk of the running for the Mounties. Mason is also the leading receiver on the team. Outlook â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Turnovers and mistakes could be the keys to this game, but P-Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size and experience (18 returning lettermen) will be factors as well. Bellefonte will have to continue to adjust to its new coaches and play an error-free game in order to come out with a win here. Kickoff in Philipsburg is scheduled for 7.

BEA (2-0) AT PENNS VALLEY (1-1)

BEA has not been seriously challenged in its first two games, and it is looking for a sweep of local teams with its visit to Penns Valley on Friday. The Eagles pounced on Bellefonte, 47-7, in week 1 and then controlled Philipsburg-Osceola in a 40-13 win last Friday to post a 2-0 record. New quarterback Jason Jones has performed extremely well in his first two starts, and running back Dakota Bartley is the leading rusher. But BEA is very big and strong across both lines, and this has been a major factor in the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; easy wins. BEA has simply controlled the line of scrimmage and dictated play on both sides of the ball. Penns Valley is 1-1 following a victory over Juniata on Aug. 31 and a 37-15 loss at Clearfield on Friday. The Rams feature a balanced attack with quarterback Cam Tobias throwing to Taylor Collison, Corey Hazel, and Luke Weaver. Collison, Hazel, Wyatt Sharp, Tobias, and Liam Benfer have been the big gainers in the running game. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to gage the play of the PV defense against Clearfield and all-everything Christian Lezzer, who pretty much does his thing against everybody. But to have a chance in this game, the Rams will have to slow down Jones and Bartley enough to keep it close into the fourth quarter. After that, anything can happen. Kickoff at Penns Valley Area High School is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Volleyball squad has high hopes By BRIANNA BLAIR

correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — A closer look at the 2013 Bellefonte Area High School girls’ volleyball team: Head coach — Carla Weaver, second season. 2012 record — 3-13. Key losses — Ciara Stehley. Returning lettermen — Cassie Book, Jordan Carr, Shelby Courts, Kylie Krout, Morgan Mills, Lindsey Robb, Erin Thal and Lexi Wetzler. Strengths — According to Weaver, the Lady Raiders have worked extremely hard during the offseason. “Many of our players worked in the off season this past year, playing in the AAU League and on the Revolution Team,” she said. Weaver feels that this has greatly helped

the team’s power on the court and should fuel the competitive drive during every one of their matches. Concerns — Simply put: Mental endurance and confidence. “The girls have the physical ability to play with any of the teams in the area, however they have to work on overcoming their lack of confidence in their abilities and to be able to shake off those dispiriting notions,” Weaver said. Outlook — Weaver has a realistic outlook for the Lady Red Raiders as they start off their season. ”My goal for the season is to be a .500 team and have a chance to go to playoffs,” said Weaver. According to Weaver, the potential and the talent are there to achieve success. “The girls have the skill set to make it happen, they just need to believe that they can do it,” Weaver said. Circle this date — vs. Bald Eagle Area (Sept. 26).

Bellefonte girls’ golf squad looks for repeat performance By BRIANNA BLAIR

correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — A closer look at the 2013 Bellefonte Area High School girls’ golf squad: Head coach — Myken Poorman, third season. 2012 record — 7-0. Took first place at the Mountain League Championships. Key losses — Top low scorer Alyssa Sinclair. Returning letter winners — Kaitlyn Vogel, Kaitlin Rogers, Emily Sinclair, Ashley Morris, Kady Stodter and Paige Urban. Key Newcomers — Taylor Gehringer and Katelyn Walker.

The Lady Raiders also have a solid team of four to compete in team events, said Poorman. Concerns — Scores will be a main concern this season, Poorman said. Keeping all four scores low instead of average is top priority for Poorman and Co.

Clearfield hammers Penns Valley, 37-15 From Gazette staff reports HYDE — The Clearfield Bison toyed with Penns Valley for a half before putting the Rams away, 37-15, at the Bison Sports Complex on Friday night. The Bison (2-0) held the Rams (1-1) to 151 yards of total offense, while racking up 400 yards of their own. The game was scoreless for the first 12 minutes, but Clearfield would put up 17 points in the second stanza. Tyler Stratton got the Bison on the board with a 5-yard touchdown run to make it 7-0. Quarterback Christian Lezzer — a Boston College recruit — made it 14-0 with a 1-yard run. A Bison field goal sent them to the intermission ahead 17-0.

In the third quarter, Lezzer did it again, scoring on a 10-yard run. Clearfield’s lead had swelled to 24-0. Penns Valley finally got on the board with a 30-yard touchdown pass from Cameron Tobias to Sean Beamesderfer. That TD made it 24-7, but the Bison would answer. Lezzer scored on a 5-yard run to push Clearfield’s lead to 31-7. In the fourth quarter, Bison freshman Seth Caldwell scored on a 14-yard run. Spencer Herrington missed the PAT and Clearfield’s lead was 37-7. Penns Valley would score again — this time on a 26yard TD pass from Ben Alexander to Corby Woodring. Penns Valley hosts Bald Eagle Area this week.

GAZETTE STAFF PREDICTIONS THE CENTRE COUNTY

MARA TICCINO/For The Gazette

STATE COLLEGE AREA HIGH SCHOOL’S Jordan Misher looks for running room during Friday night’s game with Central Mountain at the newly renovated Memorial Field. The Little Lions pounded the Wildcats, 71-28. State High, from page 24 But Central Mountain could not stop State College. After the Wildcats crept to within 44-28 on a five-yard Bitner pass to Cody Barner, State College ripped off four touchdowns in a span of just 10 minutes. Two Jordan Misher TD runs and a 24-yard pass from Irwin to Anthony Misher that made the score 65-28 highlighted the streak as SC wrapped up its first win of the season. “We had more speed,” State College coach Al Wolski said, “and I think we had more legs than they did. They’re numbers were down a little bit, and I think we wore them down. “They were doing a lot of stunting inside, and we didn’t want to get in there and get in all that junk, and we thought we might have had a speed advantage outside, so we were able to do it outside.

“But they kept coming back, which we knew they were going to do. They’re not going to fold their tent, they’re going to come back and they did.” Irwin finished the game six-of-eight for 90 yards and two touchdowns, and he also ran for 78 yards and two scores. Bitner, for Central Mountain, was 10 for 23 for 149 yards and two TDs. Next up for State College is Martinsburg, W.Va., which was the West Virginia state champion in 2012 and an unknown opponent for the Little Lions. “We don’t know much about them (Martinsburg),” Wolski said, “other than they are the defending West Virginia state champs. It will be kind of fun to have them come in here and see how good West Virginia football is. “But we have a long way to go for us to be a good football team versus most of the teams that we play.”

With 11 letter winners back, Lady Rams expect big things By JOHN PATISHNOCK

sports@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — A closer look at the 2013 Penns Valley High School girls’ soccer team: Head coach — Jeff Smucker, third season. 2012 record — 5-12. Key Losses — Grace Gover, Sarah Haas, Brandi Heckman, Maggie Lynch and Bethany Wasson. Returning Lettermen — Destiny Andrus (sophomore; two goals, two assists last season), Lauren Eberly (senior; two goals, one assist), Marissa Hettinger (junior), Rachel Hodgson (junior), Valerie Kubalak (junior; three goals, two assists), Rachel Long (senior; two goals, one assist), Carey McCool (junior), Ayla Olsen-Zelman (senior), Kylie Orndorf (junior), Marcy Smucker (senior; seven goals, two assists) and Cheyenne Swartz (junior). Strengths — Of the 11 returning lettermen, just four are seniors, so Penns Valley is still relatively inexperienced. The Rams, however, return five players who registered at least two goals and one assist from a year ago. “We’re a young team, so I think the girls are enthusiastic and look-

ing forward to the season,” Jeff Smucker said. “As the season progresses, I think we’ll get stronger because those young girls will get more experience and more confidence. We have a good core of experienced players who have good vision and good passing skills, and I think that will help us.” Concerns — With the addition of volleyball within the last decade, the team has gradually seen its numbers decrease. Jeff Smucker said after usually having at least 30 girls on the team, that number is now typically in the 20s and this year is no different with 23 girls on the roster. “It’ll take a little while to get them the confidence that they need, my other concern is that our numbers are low,” Smucker said. “I’ll have a lot of girls who will be playing both (JV and varsity) and getting a lot of minutes, which is a good thing but also a bad thing in that they’ll be pretty tired by the time varsity plays.” Outlook — Despite possessing a losing record last year, the Rams still enjoyed an upswing, as they improved upon their record from the previous season. “I’m hopeful that we will do better than last year,” Jeff Smucker said. “I think the combination of

I think we’ll score more goals than in the past … We did lose some defensive talent last year, definitely, so that is one area that we will need to work on, is getting the defense together as a unit.

But overall, I’m excited. I think it’ll be a good year.” Circle these dates — At Bellefonte (Sept. 14), vs. Bald Eagle Area (Sept. 16); at Philipsburg (Sept. 26); vs. Bellefonte (Oct. 1); at Bald Eagle Area (Oct. 9).

History in the making: Spikes advance to NYPL finals By JOHN PATISHNOCK

sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Andrew Pierce is tall, thin and soft-spoken. Not exactly an intimidating description. But the lanky southerner was essentially untouchable Sunday night at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park, where the State College Spikes upended Jamestown 6-0 in the third and decisive game of the New York-Penn League championship semifinals.

“I kind of just did my thing, laid-back, always, and everything worked out,” Pierce said. Pierce, an eighth-round draft out of Southern Mississippi, was impressively efficient for the Spikes while improving to 3-2. The right-hander fired seven innings while allowing four hits. He also induced an inning-ending double play in the fifth and finished with a season-high seven strikeouts while walking none. He consistently forced Jamestown batters to flail at pitches, with Adam Frazier’s

fourth-inning single the only hard-hit ball. Mitch Harris tossed the final two innings for the Spikes, striking out two while not yielding a hit. Pierce, meanwhile, said he’d recently figured something out with his slider. It showed Sunday night, when he said catcher Luke Voit continually called for backdoor breaking balls late in the count. The combination of fastballs and off-speed offerings worked, as he needed just 91 pitches to get through his outing. “It allowed me to be able to go deep in

the game,” Pierce said of starting strong. “To have the double plays when we needed them and to get the quick outs. … doing that kind of enables us to save our bullpen.” “Pierce did a nice job of going out there and giving us a very strong outing,” Spikes manager Oliver Marmol added. “The tempo started with him and then everything from there on was history. The Jammers) really at no point showed that they were balanced or felt comfortable at all. It was very nice to see.”

‘Dog Sees God’ to be staged From Gazette staff reports ALTOONA — A performance of “Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead” will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 27 in the Misciagna Family Center for Performing Arts. The play is under the direction of Shane Sedlemyer for his senior capstone in integrative arts. Sedlemyer’s objective as a director and writer is to take difficult and real situations and make them approachable and entertaining to watch. In the play, when main character Charlie’s dog dies from rabies, he begins to question the existence of an afterlife. Drug use, suicide, eating disorders, teen violence and sexual identity move toward a hopeful and haunting end. “‘Dog Sees God’ takes one of the most popular and cherished works of pop culture, the Peanuts franchise, and takes it to a darker place,” said Sedlemyer. “Peanuts has always been about posing philosophical questions

and teaching lessons through a lovable boy with his dog and friends. ‘Dog Sees God’ maintains the charm of the source material while diving into the more modern pressing topics such as sexuality and drug use as well as age old questions.” Sedlemyer is a senior integrative arts major from Nicktown. Always a lover of the arts and pop culture, he has been performing, writing and entertaining since age 10. He will graduate in December and plans to pursue a master’s in directing or dramatic writing. “Dog Sees God” contains material that is not suitable for children and parental discretion is advised. Free tickets and information regarding “Dog Sees God” are available at the Misciagna Family Center for Performing Arts from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.. Monday through Thursday, and before and during all performances. For further information, call (814) 949-5452 or visit the Penn State Altoona website at www.altoona.psu.edu.

From Gazette staff reports

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State Harrisburg graduate Oscar Beisert, who earned a master’s degree in American studies in 2007, received the Irwin Richman Scholarship in American Studies during the 2006-07 academic year, but the reward he received went beyond just a monetary supplement – it helped him advance his career in the years to follow. The experience helped the student form a working relationship with Irwin Richman, a professor emeritus of American studies and history, and his wife, M. Susan Richman, associate professor emerita of mathematical sciences, a donor to the campus. One result of Beisert and Richman’s collaboration became a book, “The Photography of Henry K. Landis: Pennsylvania and New York, 1886-1955” (Stackpole Books, 2013), which documents a little-known photographic legacy. Landis (1865-1955), born and raised in Lancaster County, Pa., was an engineer, magazine editor, and co-founder, with his brother, George, of the Landis Valley Village and Farm Museum, an institution “dedicated to collecting, preserving and interpreting” Pennsylvania German (Pennsylvania Dutch) history and culture. Through Landis’s lens, the book explores late 19th and early 20th century New York City, Long Island and Lancaster County. “You not only shared your knowledge and your passion, you took a chance on an unknown,” Beisert wrote about Richman in the book’s preface. Beisert, an active preservationist, building restorer and blogger, is on the professional staff of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). He divides his time between Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. Richman, of Bainbridge, Pa., the author of many books, retired from Penn State Harrisburg in 2003 and currently serves as a research associate at the Landis Valley Village and Farm Museum, where he has volunteered since 2004.

Landis’ paintings to be showcased at HUB From Gazette staff reports

UNIVERSITY PARK — An exhibition of Joanne Landis’ paintings will be showcased from Sept. 17 to Dec. 5 in the HUBRobeson Galleries. The viewings are free and open to the public. Landis’ paintings are large-scale, narrative murals that feature bold strokes, textures and patterns. “I don’t plan the painting,” she said in a press release. “I start with an idea. The painting starts to direct me. It’s kind of like a dream, where you find things as you go and things just happen.” Of Landis’ work selected for the exhi-

bition, some was completed during her month-long residency at Ireland’s Tyrone Guthrie Centre for the Arts. Landis has also taught fashion design at Drexel University and the Fashion Institute of Technology. She worked as a fashion illustrator for 12 years before she began her painting career. Landis currently lives in Troxelville, where she has a studio in a barn. She also has studio space in the Pajama Factory in Williamsport.

Students develop Beaver Stadium bag By ADAM LIDGETT

that lets people take their personal items into the games. What makes these bags unique is the fact that, while they are clear, they have a “privacy shield,” which is a detachable flap that goes over the bag so no one can see its contents. These privacy shields, which My Event Bag hopes to patent, come with a variety of team logos. Turrisi says that My Event Bag has checked with security at Beaver Stadium and have been told their product will be allowed inside on game day. Turrisi says the bags allowed in Metlife Stadium this past weekend for the Penn State game against Syracuse. “We originally thought that everyone needed the product,” Turrisi said. “All the colleges we called about using our product said ‘call us back in March when budget is renewed’ because they had spent all their money for the year. But we have had some meetings with some schools.” Turrisi has called most of the Division I schools to see how their security policies have changed, and has tried to get many of them to accept My Event Bag so fans won’t get turned away at the gate on game day. Turrisi said the company is not allowed to use the Penn State logo on their bags because of licensing regulations. Best Western hotels have decided to take the bags and

UNIVERSITY PARK — Members of a Penn State student-developed think tank think they’ve solved the no-bag policy at Beaver Stadium. Penn State announced in the days following the Boston Marathon bombing that backpacks, bags and purses will not be permitted at any athletic events this fall, including games at Beaver Stadium. Penn State followed the lead of many NFL stadiums after the bombing. Fans are allowed to bring one clear 1-gallon plastic bag to carry medical supplies or child care needs. All items in those bags are subject to inspection. A group of students and recent graduates have started My Event Bag, a business that makes a clear plastic backpack. It’s small enough to comply with the new security regulations at Beaver Stadium. Taylor Turrisi, director of sales and media for My Event Bag and a recent Penn State graduate, says the idea behind the product came in response to complaints that the clear bag policy felt like an invasion of privacy. Turrisi says they saw the potential need for a product
