Commissioners voice concern about future of county prison By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — Centre County Commissioners say they’re concerned the county could outgrow its correctional facility sooner than desired unless recidivism programs expand. Commissioners Steve Dershem, Chris Exarchos and Michael Pipe discussed the issue during a Centre County Chamber of Business and Industry luncheon on Sept. 16 at the Penn Stater Conference Center.

The current cost of running the Centre County Correctional Facility takes up to 18 percent of the county’s annual $63.8 million budget, with roughly $80 spent daily per inmate. The prison has an average daily population of 261, with roughly 100 inmates from outside the county as part of a contract service with other counties and the state. The prison’s maximum capacity is 400. CBICC, Page 6

Advocates for homeless prepare outreach efforts before winter’s arrival By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — As the temperatures begin to drop, residents throughout Centre County will feel the pressure to fire up their heating systems. That’s not a luxury, however, that those who are sleeping in their cars or living on the streets have. While many might not realize it, homelessness and affordable housing in Centre County is an ongoing issue, according to Natalie Corman, director of the Office of Adults Services. Opinion ............................. 7 Health & Wellness ............. 8

“We always have homeless in Centre County,” Corman said. “And I think that’s important for people to realize. It’s just not always as visible as some of the larger cities are. I think people are always surprised when they hear we have three homeless shelters.” Homeless numbers in the county are consistent from year to year, she said, making up about only 5 percent of all homeless persons accounted for in central Pennsylvania. These numbers are based on a pointHomeless, Page 5

SCOTIA — Standing in front of a marshy wetland on state game lands, State College High School teacher David Klindienst asked his students why they were there. After one student timidly suggested that the Sept. 10 field trip was a requirement for their environmental science class, Klindienst clarified. “Why are we, all of us, here in central Pennsylvania specifically?” For Klindienst, the answer stretches back further than the start of his class, or even the start of his own lifetime. It’s an answer 300 million years in the making. Klindienst sees stories everywhere: in the mountains and valleys of the area, in the limestone and sandstone beneath their surfaces, in the names of towns and cities. Or, perhaps more accurately, Klindienst sees a single story reflected in all these different places. Stacy Hartzell, Klindienst’s co-instructor in environmental science, said there’s an inherent connection between the geographic history of an area and its human history.

LOOKING BACK: State High science teacher David Klindienst teaches his environmental science class at the Sky Top area just north of State College. “What happens in ecology can dictate what happens in economics and culture,” Hartzell said. “In this class, we try to relate science to as many subjects as possible because they’re all interconnected.” Klindienst does this by finding the narratives hidden below the surface of the area’s richly lush landscape. Such is the case with the question he posed to his students:

Sports .......................... 19-23 Arts & Entertainment ..... 24

Why are we here in central Pennsylvania? In one way or another, the answer is probably Penn State, he said, but it’s so much more complicated than that. In the part of Patton Township now known as Scotia, small organisms that lived 300 million years ago obtained their energy by eating and digesting iron. Science, Page 6

STATE COLLEGE — The State College Police Department issued multiple citations early in the morning on Sept. 14 after students and other Penn State fans celebrated in the streets for the second time in one week. Fans gathered on Beaver Avenue around midnight to celebrate Penn State’s Sept. 13 win against Rutgers. While officials described the event as mostly peaceful, officers did cite several people, including a 19-year-old man who reportedly climbed a light post in the area of Beaver Avenue and Locust Lane. Another man was cited for disorderly conduct around 3:15 a.m. after he reportedly failed to obey officers when ordered to disperse. Police say the man tried to incite the crowd. During the same time period, police also cited another man for reportedly in-

terfering as medics tried to assist a patient. The gathering downtown early Sunday marked the second Penn State celebration in less than one week. Thousands of students celebrated on Sept. 8 after the NCAA announced its decision to lift the bowl ban for Penn State’s football program. Students started gathering on campus outside of Old Main before heading over to Beaver Stadium and then congregating on Beaver Avenue in downtown State College. The informal celebration started about 9 p.m. Friday and ended around 1 a.m. Saturday. During that gathering, police say minimal damage occurred. Some construction signs were knocked over with one or two other signs now missing. Police also arrested two men who scaled light poles. One of them was also cited for underage drinking. Police said the crowd dispersed on its own after rejoicing responsibly.

*The TimeLine Home Equity Line of Credit is a variable rate line of credit with a fixed rate option. This loan has a introductory APR and payment for the first year then adjusts based on the highest prime rate listed in the Money section of the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) plus a margin determined at the time you apply for the loan. To open the advertised product and receive the advertised introductory 1.99% APR (annual percentage rate) requires a line of credit of at least $10,000 and a maximum of $250,000. **After the first year, your variable rate can change daily. The current variable rate would be 4.00% APR for a loan amount between $10,000-$49,999.99 and a credit score between 720-779. The maximum APR is 16%. This loan has a maximum term of ten years during which you can draw and repay the available credit limit. Any balance remaining at the end of that time that has not been paid must be repaid over a 15 year term. Fees to open this loan generally range between $0 and $1,000 depending on appraisal requirements and property location. You will be required to maintain property insurance on the collateral. You may also be required to maintain flood insurance on the collateral, if necessary, because of the location.

During the 10 year draw period of the TimeLine, this loan allows the APR on all or portions of your outstanding loan balance (a “Unit”) to be locked. You may have up to a maximum of 3 Units at any one time. The maximum repayment term for a Unit is 15 years. The terms do not change until the Unit balance is paid in full. Fixed rate options are the fully indexed APR plus .50% for terms of 36 months; the fully indexed APR plus 1.00% for terms of 37-60 months; the fully indexed APR plus 1.50% for 61-96 months; the fully indexed APR plus 2.00% for 97120 months; and the fully indexed APR plus 2.50% for 121-180 months. Different margins are used to determine the fully indexed APR based on the applicant(s) credit score (s) and the loan amount when the TimeLine Home Equity Line of Credit is opened. There is a lock in fee of $50 each time you lock in a Unit. During the TimeLine Home Equity Line of Credit draw period, payments reducing the principal balance on any portion of the balance, including Units become available by increasing the credit available on your TimeLine Home Equity Line of Credit. You should consult a tax advisor for the tax deductibility of this loan. All TimeLine loans are subject to credit approval.

Officials approve agreement to buy more vehicles By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — The Centre County Board of Commissioners passed a contract at its Tuesday meeting to bring more cars into the county’s transportation fleet, which will run on compressed natural gas. The commissioners approved a grant agreement between the county and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation to move forward with purchasing four lightweight vans and two heavyweight vans for county use. The grant total is $299,700, and funds have already been allocated from the Office of Transportation’s budget to pay for the vehicles, according to director Dave Lomison. The county purchases four to five vehicles annually, he said, and has an average of 20 vehicles on the road daily. After the six new vehicles are purchased, they will all be converted to be able to use compressed natural gas fuel, he said, which will further save the county money. Currently, four vehicles are running on CNG fuel, Lo-

mison said. When the six vehicles soon to be purchased are also converted, the county will have a total of 10. “It’s going to have a pretty good impact (on the budget),” Lomison said, adding that the county is looking to save about $30,000 in fuel costs for the four vehicles that have already been converted. The CNG vehicles are currently refueled at CATA headquarters on Whitehall Road. The county also has an agreement with Wayne Township Landfill in Clinton County and access to their CNG fuel there as well. Another fueling site is expected to open at Dale Summit in State College next summer, Lomison said. Eventually, Lomison would like all paratransit county vehicles to run on CNG fuel, but that is dependent on funding sources to buy more vehicles rather than fueling resources, since most of the county’s vehicles are purchased through grant funding via the DOT. “We’ll be applying for another grant right away here soon,” Lomison said.

The commissioners also approved two contracts for repairs to be done in the kitchen at the Centre County Correctional Facility. According to prison warden Richard Smith, the flooring underneath the kitchen dishwasher is sloped toward the housing unit causing water to run toward the unit. “It’s not a good situation,” he said. DeGol Carpet will be hired to repair, retile, grout and re-slope the floor toward the existing floor drains. This contract total is $8,500. During the project, the dishwasher will be removed from the kitchen and receive “preventative maintenance,” Smith said. B&S Sheet Metal will also be hired to put up floor-toceiling stainless steel sheeting behind the kitchen and housing unit. A waterproof membrane will be added as well, for a total contract cost of $4,930. “Clearly, this is a health safety issue and benefits the entire prison,” Smith said. The entire project will take about six days and will be paid for by the Inmate General Welfare Fund through commissary commissions collected from telephone usage.

Borough council wants police to enforce noise violations at bars By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — State College Borough Council approved a resolution Sept. 15 to once again let the local police department enforce noise violations at bars and clubs. Council previously approved a measure to begin the process; however, due to changes in state law, language in council’s documents had to be altered and the measures re-approved at the Monday meeting. Under the Pennsylvania Liquor Code, individual municipalities with local noise ordinances can request an exemption from the state law allowing a local police department to enforce noise violations at bars and clubs as an alternative to the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Enforcement agency working with the state police. The State College Police Department had the authority for 18 months, but it expired last December. During the 18-month period State College police enforced the ordinance, the department received 18 amplified noise complaints in the borough. Based on the low number of calls for the issue, borough officials say the police department has the resources to take on the responsibility again. The next step is for the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board to hold a public hearing on the matter. In the meantime, the LCE is responsible for enforcement. The Tavern Association of State College supports the measure. In other news, State College officials recognized the murder of a state trooper who was killed in northeast Pennsylvania over the weekend. At the recommendation of State College Police Chief Tom King, borough council paused for a moment of silence at Monday’s public meeting in honor of Cpl. Bryon Dickson II who was killed in the line of duty on Sept. 12. King told council that Dickson, a graduate of Penn State University, was ambushed along with another trooper, Alex Douglass, who was seriously injured, during a shift change just before 11 p.m. at the Blooming Grove barracks in Pike County, which borders New York and New Jersey. A massive manhunt is now under way for a heavily armed survivalist with a vendetta against law enforcement, who authorities say is the suspect in an ambush. State police have warned the public that 31-year-old Eric Frein, of Canadensis, is dangerous, saying he’s talked about committing mass murder. Two local school districts closed Wednesday because of safety concerns for students and staff. After opening fire on troopers at the remote barracks in the Pocono Mountains Friday night, Frein evidently tried to make his escape in a 2001 Jeep Cherokee, authorities say. Instead, he drove into a swamp about two miles away, where a man walking his dog stumbled across the partly submerged SUV three days later and called 911. It was the big break police were looking for, one that set of a massive manhunt by more than 200 law enforcement officials who fanned out across miles of thick woods, a place where Frein is believed to feel at home. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Expo to celebrate, empower women entrepreneurs By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Uniting and celebrate intelligent, energetic and inspiring women entrepreneurs in central Pennsylvania will be the focus of the sixth annual Entrepreneurial Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Expo slated to take place early next month. The event will take place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 1, at Celebration Hall, 2280 Commercial Blvd. The day will provide the opportunity for women to network with other entrepreneurs, attend workshops and lectures, and visit exhibits to help them grow their business, according to creator Jessica Dolan. Each year, about 120 people attend the event, which has always taken place the first Wednesday in October. Dolan said that when she started her business, Room to Breathe Home Organizing and Staging, 10 years ago, her longterm goal was to host a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business expo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I used to be intimidated by networking,â&#x20AC;? Dolan said, which is why she sets out to make each yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event an educational and fun experience for her participants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want people to connect on a personal level with other business owners,â&#x20AC;? she said. This point is stressed from the beginning of the day when participants are asked to do an â&#x20AC;&#x153;ice breakerâ&#x20AC;? exercise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This allows everyone to meet

others in a comfortable, nonthreatening setting,â&#x20AC;? Dolan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awesome. (The goal is) for everyone to relax and have a good time.â&#x20AC;? This will be followed by the opening keynote speech by Penn State womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball head coach Coquese Washington, other speeches by both area and national businesses who are leaders in their fields, and a variety of workshops. The day will end with a cocktail social from to 4 to 6 p.m. where the women can mingle and reflect on the day. Participants can also attend the various exhibits set up by other local female business owners throughout the day. While Dolan said she does have some people who regularly volunteer to help her set up and perform day-of tasks, such as participant check-in, she does the majority of work for EWE herself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always look forward to a good day,â&#x20AC;? Dolan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If people are happy and smiling, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy and smiling.â&#x20AC;? There will also be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;celebration wallâ&#x20AC;? where the women can write down and post their achievements. These will be shared throughout the day. Dolan said she will be posting her 10-year anniversary of starting Room to Breathe. Each year the event has a beneficiary. This year it will be Big Brothers Big Sisters. The organization will have a booth at the event for people to donate to or sign up to volunteer.

Dolan said that when she heard that the organization, which pairs an adult volunteer with a child to mentor, has been very short on volunteers, she â&#x20AC;&#x153;thought it would be a good fitâ&#x20AC;? and hopes the group can generate additional interest at the event. Lydia Myers, owner of Pick â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em Up Productions and Rugrats Resale, has been attending EWE since it began six years ago. At that time, Myers said she first attended the event to support Dolan, a close friend, and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t doing much to promote her business, then only Pick â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em Up Productions. After attending and exhibiting at the event, however, Myers said it was the â&#x20AC;&#x153;best decisionâ&#x20AC;? she ever made. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know it is hard to give up a full day of working to attend, but the connections you can make at EWE are priceless,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of EWE I have gained the confidence to be able to sell my own product, something that tends to be difficult for many women, and how to do so efficiently. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned the importance of a firm handshake, networking and staying organized.â&#x20AC;? The activities planned throughout the day are meant to engage women with each other, which Myers said is effective for even those who find meeting new people a challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have met so many incredible women business owners because of EWE and have been able toÂ collaborateÂ with many of them on several occasions,â&#x20AC;?

PSU students use technology to help Boal Museum By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT

an internship posting through the college and was immediately interested in working with the museum. Having considered majoring in history, he “really liked the merging between history and IST.” Pazamickas and three other interns, all Penn State IST students, undertook a series of projects this summer to make the heritage on display at the Boal Mansion Museum more visible. Filmon Beraki updated the online Boal family genealogy, Lisa Khuu created a virtual tour of some of the museum’s rooms and Charles Chiang helped Pazamickas create a walking tour map of historic Boalsburg village. The map can display the viewer’s current location in relation to a number of historical buildings, each of which has a listing detailing its history and past usage. Pazamickas said though the walking tour existed already, it lacked any visual elements and was just a “giant wall of text.” Pazamickas said creating the map involved running around town taking pictures and gathering GPS information, programing

BOALSBURG — Civil War weapons. Christopher Columbus’ writing desk. A lock of Napoleon’s hair. Two pieces of the True Cross of Jesus. For years, Boal Mansion Museum CEO Christopher Lee had been hearing that people have driven by the museum but never had any idea about its unique and extensive collection, which contains all the above artifacts and more. “Heritage is a living force — it informs us and helps create a sense of community,” Lee said, explaining the museum’s importance. “It connects the past to the present to help us figure out the future.” But if the people who live here didn’t know about the heritage in their own backyard, how could this goal of creating a sense of community be accomplished? Lee had ideas, but he needed help. Thomas Pazamickas, an information sciences and technology student at Penn State, saw

Homeless, from page 1 in-time count that is done each January and August. At these two points in the year, the Office of Adult Services has several teams that canvass the county to take a count of the homeless in the area, including those who are in shelters or transitional housing and living unsheltered. In 2014, a total of 57 people were counted as homeless in the county, up slightly from 53 in 2013. During each point-in-time count, all unsheltered homeless persons are given a bag with food donated from the State College Food Bank and literature on housing services in the county, Corman said. When the count is done in January, unsheltered persons are also given a blanket. A 35-page book that is given out contains information about the shelters, transitional and permanent housing services in the county, a glossary of commonly used terms and other community resources. “I think people have been really receptive to something easy, like opening that book,” Corman said. The books, she said, are also given to local government agencies and businesses that might come across homeless persons. “The book has been great for not only the individual needing housing, but also the rest of the community feeling like they know where to turn somebody for help,” she said. In State College, there are three shelters that operate all year to provide refuge for both homeless adults and children in the county. Out of the Cold Centre County, however, is a program that operates seasonally from midOctober to early May and takes in those who cannot get into one of the shelters after dark. “It’s been an amazing thing for people who have nowhere else to go (at night),” said Shelby Caraway, a volunteer for OOTC through Calvary Baptist Church. In the summer, those who are homeless and have cars will just sleep

javascript and distilling decades of information from numerous sources into a coherent form. “I thought the local history of this area was very interesting,” Pazamickas said. “I wanted to improve the tour to enhance people’s ability to experience that.” Before working with the Boal Mansion Museum, Khuu had no idea the landmark even existed. After Lee gave her a tour as part of her interview for the internship, she knew she wanted to use her IST knowledge to help bring the museum’s collection to life. Over the course of the next month and a half, Khuu took panoramic shots of three of the museum’s most popular rooms, the ballroom, living room and Columbus Chapel. From there, she took information about each of the rooms and made the tour interactive. Each room has a number of historical artifacts you can click on to learn more about, but Khuu was careful not to give everything away. “A lot of the pictures don’t have all the available informa-

in them. But in the winter, with temperatures dropping well past freezing, that’s usually not an option, she said. “It builds a community,” Caraway said. “These people are each other’s family. They stick together.” Each night during OOTC, guests will be given a blanket, cot, meal and occasionally toiletries. Last year was the third year for OOTC, Caraway said, and her second volunteering for the organization. “As it continues, it grows,” she said. Starting out, there were only a couple churches who participated. This year, 11 are already scheduled to be in the rotation. Each church, Caraway said, will be the host for two to three weeks and then the program jumps to another location. Each site must provide their own volunteers, which can be hard for the smaller congregations, she said. “We’re always in need of more volunteers.” A committee has already met to start planning and coordinating things for the program, Caraway said, and the churches are already calling for volunteers. So far, this year’s participating churches include: Unity Church of Jesus Christ, Assembly of God, St. John’s United Church of Christ (Boalsburg), Calvary Baptist Church, Grace Lutheran Church, Faith United Church of Christ, St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, State College Presbyterian Church, University Mennonite, Unitarian Universalist Fellowship and Good Shepherd Catholic. For about every five guests that stay, one volunteer is needed, Caraway said. Volunteers are responsible for helping to prepare a meal and collect and give out toiletries. Caraway also volunteers for Hearts for the Homeless, a daytime drop-in shelter located at 100 S. Fraser St. This program runs year-round and is a place where people who don’t have anywhere else to go during the day can stay to seek refuge, Caraway said. While there, people can work on job-hunting if they wish, but it is not required.

“We want to make this area into a cultural hotspot, a place people want to come see,” said Pazamickas. “This museum is probably one of the best kept secrets of central Pennsylvania.” For more information about the Boal Mansion Museuem, visit www.boalmuseuem.com.

H4H is also looking for more volunteers, as well as restaurants to donate meals. Food from household kitchens cannot be accepted, she said, due to government health code standards. While most homeless persons in the county are adults, there are households that have at least one child who are living in a shelter, their car or with family or friends. There are affordable housing programs in the county for those who are in need, Corman said, but once an affordable unit opens up, it’s quickly filled. “It’s a matter of availability,” she said. Student housing plays a large role in this issue since apartment management companies can demand a higher rent price from students, who will sleep four or five people to a two-bedroom unit. “So it’s the variety of housing that we really need,” Corman said. “It’s not about not having student housing. We haven’t built comparable other types of units.” There are many townships and officials who support the creation of affordable housing, but the area needs more of a variety with reasonably priced choices. “We need to have affordable housing for different levels of a person’s life,” she said. “We need housing for those who are homeless and housing for people who want to retire here — and everything between.” For more information on these issues, visit www.centrecountypa.gov.

100 out-of-county inmates and grows by five inmates a year “we will grow out of the facility by 2031.” At the same time, Pipe said if the county invests in recidivism programs, potentially the county would not grow out of the facility until 2047. Additionally, Pipe said if the state Corrections Department changes its policy requiring county facilities to hold technical parole violators it could lower inmate numbers in Centre County. Pipe said county officials participate in regular meetings involving representatives from various stakeholders, including the Centre County District Attorney’s Office, the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, the U.S. Veterans’ Affairs Office and the State Parole Board. Commissioners also gave the business community an overview of Centre County government and finances at the luncheon.

Exarchos said officials see a growing issue with inmates suffering from mental health issues and substance abuse, which means a higher recidivism rate as such inmates are more likely to return to prison. Exarchos said county jails are becoming mental health institutions. “We’d like to get them out of the door and keep them out of the door,” he said. In terms of substance abuse, Dershem acknowledges the overall increase in heroin use in Pennsylvania, noting that Centre County is not immune to the problem. “That demographic is not just limited to kids or college-aged individuals, it’s everyone. It’s frightening,” said Dershem. “It’s really something that our community has to get its head around. ... We certainly are not immune to it.” Pipe said if the county holds steady at

When they died, they settled to the bottom of wetlands and lake beds, where their iron-rich bodies became iron ore, an incredibly valuable resource for the industrial economy that would develop in Pennsylvania millions of years later. Andrew Carnegie, who named the area Scotia for his native Scotland, would mine these resources for his expanding iron business. Because of these tiny iron-eating microorganisms, Pennsylvania became a center of the industrial world. Their influence can still be seen in the pyramids of abandoned furnaces that litter the area. Carnegie and other wealthy iron barons realized the value of future generations and central Pennsylvania’s fertile soil, so they put part of their massive fortunes toward starting a school for agriculture. “Penn State is here because it grew out of that Farmers’ High School,” Klindienst told his captivated class. “You can connect the dots all the way back to those organisms that died here 300 million years ago.” The class trip to Scotia was part of what Klindienst calls the “Environmental Science Grand Tour,” which included a trip around the region to places of environmental significance including Sky Top, the Jo Hays Overlook, the Barrens at Scotia, the Alan Seeger Natural Area and Bear Meadows, among other stops. “I’ve been teaching for about 40 years, and most kids used to say that they’d been to these places,” Klindienst said. “But over the years fewer and fewer kids had been out here. This year, maybe two had heard of these places.” In the permission slip distributed to parents for the trip, he calls this phenomenon — somewhat tongue-in-cheek, somewhat serious — “a growing malady known as NADD (Nature Awareness Deficit Disorder).” He said classes like his on environmental science are already fairly uncommon across the country. Even rarer, he said, is the chance for students to deeply engage with the material. The Industrial Revolution not only

changed working conditions, Klindienst said, but it also influenced education. Whereas summer break grew out of the need for farm workers over the summer in an agricultural society, the assembly line method of production eventually infiltrated schools, leading to a repetitive process of lecture, listen, test, lecture, listen, test. Carson Bauer, a senior who moved to State College this summer, is used to the hustle and bustle of automation. A former resident of New York, he was glad for the opportunity to come to State College for two main reasons: He hopes to attend Penn State and he is awestruck by the natural beauty of the area. “This is why I moved here,” he told his classmates at Sky Top, looking out over the valley rolling away beneath him, slowly rising to a mountainous ridge in the foggy distance. “(Klindienst) knows a lot more about nature than any other teacher I’ve ever had,” Bauer said. “When you’re out here in nature like this, I feel like you really learn about it. You experience it.” Klindienst is aware that he can’t cure an entire generation’s case of NADD with one class and an annual field trip, but he’s certainly going to try. “What’s most rewarding about this is when I actually win one,” Klindienst said. “Sometimes you take these kids out here and you see one of them have an ‘a-ha!’ moment, where they just get it.” At the Alan Seeger Natural Area just outside State College, Klindienst won one on Wednesday. The area is 118 acres preserved for its natural beauty and educational value. One stretch of the path is so untouched by human influence that Klindienst described walking though it as “leaving the 21st century.” After meeting his class on the other side of the ancient trees and dense foliage, senior Robbie Womer asked if they could walk back through it to get to the school van. Unfortunately, Klindienst answered, they didn’t have time. “Aw, man,” Womer said. “I would have really liked that.”

Apple silences revolutionary iPod By MICHAEL HILTZIK Los Angeles Times

Quietly, even stealthily, Apple last week brought about that moment that many of its most loyal followers dreaded would happen: It killed off the iPod. Oh, the name lives on for now, attached to a suite of weird late-generation devices — the Shuffle, the Nano, the Touch — but when the Apple Store came back online after going dark for the company’s much-hyped new-product launch, the last vestige of its original hard-drive click-wheel iPod was no longer for sale. Few people even noticed the absence of what the company had ultimately dubbed the iPod Classic. Fewer will lament its passing even though it marked a revolution in portable music. There was its incredibly capacious storage of 160 gigabytes, enough to hold the entire music library of all but the most obsessive music collectors; its elegant design in almost all its incarnations over six generations (or maybe seven, depending on how you count); its class. Over the years I’ve probably owned six iPods, not counting those we bought for the kids. I still have three — an original 1-gigabyte flashmemory Shuffle, which no longer works; and an 80-gig fifth generation model and 160-gig Classic, which do. Over time, it must be said, Apple signaled its increasing contempt for the device that launched its reputation for first-class human-factor engineering in the consumer market. By 2010, when the iPod had gone more than a year without a capacity or design upgrade, I observed that

Anyone who has ever added extra pounds knows it’s much easier to gain weight than to lose it. Now the nation is learning that lesson too. In what is becoming an annual warning that goes unheeded in too many households, the Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation recently issued their latest annual report on obesity. The closest thing to good news is that childhood obesity rates, though too high at 17 percent, have stabilized in the past decade and declined in some places. For adults, the rate of increase in obesity — it has doubled since 1980 — is finally beginning to slow, but it remains far too high. In Pennsylvania, 30 percent of the population is obese. That puts the state among 20, including Ohio, where the rate exceeds 30 percent. In West Virginia and Mississippi, the rate exceeds 35 percent. The average American is more than 24 pounds heavier today than in 1960. In 1990, no state had an obesity rate exceeding 15 percent; now, no state has a rate that low. Colorado’s is lowest, at 21.3 percent. Those numbers are an indictment of a culture built on high-calorie food and too little exercise. If America doesn’t soon go on a collective diet, the health risks associated with too much weight — including high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes — will continue to go up with the numbers on the nation’s scales. The report recommends steps for individuals and it recognizes an approach exemplified by Allegheny County Health Director Karen Hacker’s initiative, Live Well Allegheny. The whole community can benefit from being educated on healthy habits and from government policies that encourage the consumption of fresh food and more daily exercise. Dropping pounds is not easy, but it’s time for America to get in shape for a healthier future.

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — Listening to the president’s address to the nation regarding the crisis with ISIS or ISIL if you prefer, I was struck by the lack of indignation in the president’s presentation. Where was the visible anger, the fist-pounding oratory that made it clear in no uncertain terms the nation would not tolerate this threat to our interests and, for that matter, humanity? Even the warning that the vicious psychopaths who slaughter and torture innocents should not believe they can hide from justice was delivered dispassionately — almost as though it were a lecture by a college professor who had given it dozens of time. There was none of the urgency or fire of a Teddy Roosevelt challenging the Barbary pirates. There was no fist-pounding declaration of “Perdicaris alive or Raisuli dead” that TR delivered to the Lord of the Berbers over the kidnapping of an American citizen who really wasn’t. It worked. Granted, that is not Barack Obama’s style, and he seemed almost reluctant to take such a firm stand after years of resisting entreaties at home and abroad to take one in the Syrian civil war. His pledge to interdict the expansion of this most vicious group of fanatics carried with it the promise that it would be limited to air power and to U.S. military advisers to train indigenous forces. There will be no boots on the ground,

the newly dubbed Classic was being treated as a stepchild. “It doesn’t have the big screen of the iPod Touch, or the game-playing capability, or digital cameras or Wi-Fi antenna,” I wrote. “All it’s got is roominess, 160 gigabytes worth.” In my opinion, the iPod reached its design peak in 2003 with the third generation, a lovely device which had an unlabeled touch-only clickwheel and four small action buttons — menu, play/pause, fast-forward, and rewind — that glowed red when the backlight was activated. The device got clunkier from there, but it always had a satisfying heft in the hand that signaled both compactness and capacity. Music collectors lamented Apple’s move to less-capacious multimedia phones, pads, and other units, even though Steve Jobs had pitched the original iPod as a breakthrough “that lets you put your entire music collection in your pocket and listen to it wherever you go.” Jobs perceived that when travelers discovered they didn’t have cassettes with them they wanted to hear on their Walkmen, they wouldn’t listen to anything at all. He thought that was a shame, so he insisted that the iPod’s capacity be immense. Eventually, however, Apple’s business model evolved, and the iPod evolved with it. Originally it was a repository for music its owner had acquired elsewhere, either in CD form or (usually illegally) from a file-sharing service such as Napster; Apple didn’t sell music at the time. The balance shifted after Apple launched the iTunes music store in 2003; within a week it had sold 1 mil-

lion songs. As the store branched out into videos, TV shows and movies, the iPod’s capacity expanded to absorb the new content — 40 GB in 2003, 60 in 2004 (when its screen acquired the ability to display color photographs), 80 in 2005, 160 in 2007. But device storage is now less important because content can be streamed from the Cloud. An iPhone with 16 gigs is almost as good as one with 32, because it’ll be fed over data services either way. The hard-drive iPods are technological relics, and in terms of sales, they’ve been nowheresville for years. Yet there’s a sense in which Apple has abandoned those users who still want to carry their entire music collections with them, as Steve Jobs recognized. What do you do when you’re stuck out of reach of a data stream, such as on an airplane? Deciding which few gigs of my music collection I want to download so they’re available in flight is exactly the exercise I want to avoid. So on a long trip, I’ll still be bringing my 160-gb Classic along, for as long as it lasts. The iPod had such a profound impact on the way many of us listen to music that it seems to have been around forever. So it’s a bit of a shock to realize that that introductory launch hosted by Jobs took place the month after 9/11. I loved my iPods, every single one of them, and when I tell my grandchildren about the old days when a music player only played music, and had a black-and-white screen and yet was as thick as a deck of cards (or as Jobs said in 2001, as “tiny” as a deck of cards), there will be a tear in my eye. Godspeed.

he said. Uh-huh! So what occurs if the air power fails to halt the advancement of those who know nothing about borders except to ignore them, spreading their brand of rule by fear under the guise of religion? Most military experts agree air assaults alone won’t do the job. Will Obama be forced to break his promise, like so many others he has made and has failed to keep, including those about swiftly ending the stress of Iraq and Afghanistan and closing the prison at Guantanamo? This has been a president who might have been better off not making so many pledges, pledges seasoned veterans of Washington, D.C., warned were beyond him. It is that history that is now catching up with him as his seeming lack of leadership qualities are reflected in his low public opinion ratings. Americans who saw him as the harbinger of change in the first election and with slightly less renewed support in the second have become increasingly disillusioned and untrusting of his follow through. There is a strong suspicion that his decision to move now was influenced at least in part by the need for his party to stave off Republican Senate challenges in the coming election. A total GOP congressional majority would euthanize his presidency two years early. It will be tough sledding for him anyway. At this stage, while there might be questions about whether the maniacs in ISIS are a threat to this nation’s

and to the world’s security, as some experts have suggested, there is little doubt that left unchecked they soon would be. Most Americans, no matter how reluctantly, agree with this, the polls show. The beheading of two American journalists and now a British aid worker has punctuated that explicitly. Can Obama put together the coalition, which necessarily must include stable Middle East governments, or has he waited too long? His then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton advised him to step forward on Syria much earlier. He did not do so and the foothold ISIS was able to establish has led to this crisis. The president’s dithering for weeks, even when it seemed obvious this was not just a minor incursion by a few zealots, made him look indecisive. Meanwhile, ISIS has grown from a force of 10,000 butchers to one estimated at 25,000 to 30,000. Had Obama gone to the public earlier, looked the American people in the eye and through clenched teeth not only denounced these monsters but announced that we would do whatever it takes to eliminate them from the earth, his ratings might have shown a return of public trust. Basketball coaches and baseball managers challenge the referees and umpires not because they believe they can overturn a call, but to get their attention. As a sportsman, Obama should have learned that lesson. We needed him to get madder than hell.

Researchers see rise in Pa. thyroid cancer rates HERSHEY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Incidence of thyroid cancer is rising faster in Pennsylvania than in the rest of the United States as a whole, according to Penn State College of Medicine researchers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since the mid-1970s, the incidence of thyroid cancer in the United States has more than tripled,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. David Goldenberg, professor of surgery and medicine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thyroid cancer is now the seventh leading type of cancer in the nation. It typically occurs in young women and is projected to become the third most common cancer in women by 2019.â&#x20AC;? Papillary thyroid cancer, responsible for most of this increase, is very treatable and has a 95 percent 30-year survival rate. There are no symptoms in all but the latest stages and the cancer is typically discovered incidentally during a physical exam or on an imaging study. The researchers compared the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thyroid cancer rates with the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s by using two databases â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Pennsylvania Cancer Registry, a database started in 1985, and Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results 9, a database started in 1973 and representative of the general population in the United States. The researchers identified a total of 110,615 cases in SEER 9 and 29,030 in PCR. In Pennsylvania, white women had a 25.5 percent rise in thyroid cancer, followed by black women at 17.7 percent; white men at 8 percent; and black men at 3.8 percent. The fastest rate of increase over time occurred in black

women. The researchers published the results of this study in JAMA Otolaryngology. Papillary thyroid cancer had the largest increase in cancer type â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an 8.8 percent yearly change â&#x20AC;&#x201D; followed by anaplastic thyroid cancer at 4.2 percent and follicular thyroid cancer at 1.4 percent. Tumors confined to the thyroid at diagnosis increased 8.5 percent per year, while those that spread regionally outside the tumor increased by 7 percent. The two trends were not parallel, indicating that the greatest increase has been among tumors localized to the thyroid at diagnosis. The researchers looked to see if increased detection of small â&#x20AC;&#x153;clinically insignificantâ&#x20AC;? thyroid cancers is skewing the reported Pennsylvania rates. Alternatively, they looked for a true increase in the incidence of the cancer. The researchers concluded that in addition to overdiagnosis, there also appears to be a real rise in the rate of thyroid cancer in the commonwealth. They found that the rate of diagnosed tumors that spread regionally or distantly in the body increased significantly along with those diagnosed localized to the thyroid. Also, the proportion of larger tumors increased in addition to smaller clinically insignificant ones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This indicates that an actual increase in disease has contributed to the rising incidence of thyroid cancer,â&#x20AC;? Goldenberg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s due to higher incidence of thyroid cancer, and not only to increased detection.â&#x20AC;? Because the gender and racial distribution of thyroid cancer in Pennsylvania is similar to national trends, the originating factors may be applicable on a national scale. Risk factors for thyroid cancer include exposure to radiation, being a female, Asian race, genetic susceptibility and iodine deficiency or excess.

THYROID CANCER RATES are rising faster in Pennsylvania compared to the rest of the country, according to Penn State College of Medicine researchers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Three Mile Island nuclear accident in central Pennsylvania released significant amounts of radioactivity, however several studies indicate that the TMI accident is not likely to be responsible for large increases in the prevalence of thyroid cancer in Pennsylvania,â&#x20AC;? Goldenberg said. Obesity and diet are also potential risk factors. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2010 Pennsylvania was the state with the 13th highest prevalence of obesity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If obesity is a major risk factor for thyroid cancer, the high rate of obesity in Pennsylvania may partially explain the increased incidence compared to the national data,â&#x20AC;? Goldenberg said.

3-D printing a solid venture for engineering student UNIVERSITY PARK — Joseph Sinclair has a busy schedule to manage as a senior majoring in mechanical engineering, nuclear engineering and engineering science. In addition to maintaining a rigorous course schedule, he also finds time to run Solid Dynamics LLC, a rapid prototyping service that utilizes the latest techniques in additive manufacturing to design and produce quality products. Sinclair’s service specializes in every step of product creation, beginning with designing a client’s concept to developing prototypes and printing finished, end-use products. With a total of seven 3-D printers under his control, Sinclair is able to print in different colors and various materials, creating durable products to client specifications. He has a specialized knowledge of polymers and fluid flow, which enables him to prevent his products from warping, increasing the lifetime and overall strength of the products.

However, this knowledge didn’t come easily. On the first day of use, he broke the first 3-D printer he owned, a model bought following his high school graduation. His engineering knowledge complements the tendency to dismantle objects to learn their inner workings. This ability to combine a scientific background with troubleshooting skills contributes heavily to his ongoing success. “Maintenance is a huge part of the additive manufacturing industry,” Sinclair said. “A nerd alone can’t do this; a guy who digs ditches can’t do this. But a nerd who digs ditches can.” He estimates that he has put in a few thousand hours of print time in the last two years alone. Sinclair’s coursework has been invaluable to his academic and professional endeavors. He explained that that one nuclear engineering course increased his knowledge of sensors, a crucial part of the additive

manufacturing industry, while a mechanical engineering course taught him to describe the quantitative application of various materials and geometries to the design of machines, and another nuclear engineering class developed his ability to describe technical processes to non-technical clients. Solid Dynamics’ first client was VorTic LLC, a company also run by current and former Penn State students, which wanted a prototype of its unique watch components. Sinclair developed functional 3-D printed models for VorTic; with these models, his client went on to win the MNE Department Boeing Innovation Competition. Since Sinclair’s business opened in January, he has hired a team of undergraduate engineering students to assist with the client workload. When not developing products for clients, the Reading native works on artificial intelligence for 3-D printers

TAILGATE TIME: As students return to campus and Penn State football begins, police see a rise in alcohol-related crimes both on and off campus.

Culture of drinking affects entire State College community By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — The return of students to Penn State for the fall semester brings many things to State College: nervous freshman, proud parents, a sense of youthful energy — and the abuse of alcohol. For about the first eight weeks of class, university and local police see a spike in alcohol-related crimes: open containers, minors violations, noise complaints and more. Sgt. Frances Pollack of the Penn State police department said this early semester spike

happens every year as students explore the newfound sense of freedom that comes with being away from home for the first time. “Most students will have a few drinks and be OK, but we encounter the ones who don’t know their limits,” Pollack said. “These are the students who may be having alcohol overdoses, or were involved in some other alcoholrelated incident.” The incidents that involve alcohol are varied and pervasive. Pollack says roughly 43 percent of the crimes they deal with involve alcohol, which she admits may be a low estimate. Other

common crimes, such as theft, may be influenced by alcohol, but this is often difficult to confirm. State College Police Chief Tom King deals with similar issues, with approximately two-thirds of overnight calls during the semester involving alcohol as a factor. “We are careful not to say these crimes are caused by alcohol,” King said. “We are not making a causation argument. The use of alcohol is not an excuse for committing a crime.” The common crimes that King sees that involve alcohol include Drinking, Page 6

BELLEFONTE — For families struggling to make ends meet, back-to-school shopping can be a burden. Whether it’s new jeans, Tshirts or hoodies, the cost can add up rather quickly. That’s where the FaithCentre comes in. The FaithCentre, located at 110 W. High St. in Bellefonte, is offering free clothing to students in grades kindergarten through 12. The clothing giveaway will take place beginning on Monday, Sept. 8. It ends on Friday, Sept. 12. The giveaway is open to all area students. “It’s not limited to Bellefonte. Everyone is welcome to come and participate,” said Nicole Summers, executive director of the FaithCentre. According to Summers, students are invited to selected three outfits — top and pants, skirt or dress — and one pair of shoes. Students can choose the clothing from anywhere in the store with the exception of the boutique and rustic wear sections. The child must be present to take part in the giveaway. The Faith Centre is open until 7 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. “That gives parents two eve-

nings to come and bring their children,” Summers explained. Summers said that FaithCentre employees will have to abide by the rules of the giveaway — no exceptions. “We’re not making exceptions to the rules because we expect it to be kind of chaotic,” Summers said. “But it’s a great opportunity for kids to get some needed backto-school clothes. Our goal is that children in the community feel comfortable and confident when they go back to school.” There are no income guidelines for the event, Summers said. Everyone is welcome. “Nothing like that,” Summers said. “It’s pretty much open to anyone who feels that they’re in need of back-to-school clothing.” The free clothes builds on last year’s event, when the FaithCentre gave away gift certificates at the Blessing of the Backpacks, which is held at a local church just before school starts. Some children lost their gift certificates, so the powers-that-be at the FaithCentre decided to change things around for this year. “We thought it was kind of limited,” Summers explained. “It was only helping the kids who show up at that particular event. We decided to do our own thing and open it up to the general Centre County population and take the event on ourselves.” School has already begun throughout Centre County, but Summers thought the time was right to hold the giveaway. “We wanted kids to have a week to settle in and get used to their routine. They’re still going to need clothes the week after school starts,” she said. Clothing, Page 5

SEVERAL PENN STATE graduate students enrolled in the Conceptual and Legal Bases of Cooperative Education course in the Workforce Education and Development program recently visited Central Pennsylvania Institute to learn more about the school and talk with the staff about CPI’s cooperative education program. Cooperative education is a method of instruction that enables students to combine academic and technical classroom instruction — a school-based learning component — with occupational instruction through learning on the job — a work-based learning component.

UNIVERSITY PARK — World in Conversation, a center for public diplomacy in Penn State’s College of Liberal Arts, will partner with the North Atlantic Treaty Organiztion to sponsor trained Penn State undergraduate dialogue facilitators to lead groundbreaking virtual conversations between NATO military cadets and civilians in conflict zones, beginning with Afghanistan. Cadets from academies throughout the NATO alliance will have the unique opportunity to participate in peer-facilitated dialogue with their civilian counterparts from five different universities in Afghanistan through a recent grant to World in Conversation from NATO’s Science for Peace and Security Programme. “This is an unprecedented attempt to utilize technology to foster greater understanding between military personnel and civilians in conflict zones,” said Laurie Mulvey, executive director of World in Conversation. “Our student facilitators will play a key role in making it possible for groups who will eventually come face-to-face in the most stressful of circumstances to meet informally and develop an understanding of one another first. Their work in creating these simple humanizing encounters could prevent unnecessary violence on the ground.” The grant will provide more than $500,000 to be shared with research partners in Afghanistan in order to conduct scholarly research on the impact of these virtual dialogues. World in Conversation is the largest cross-cultural dialogue center based at a university in the United States. The center offers a unique approach to public diplomacy by offering facilitator training courses for undergraduates and peer-facilitated dialogues for university students that focus on issues of conflict using a version of the Socratic Method. These trained student facilitators bring their peers into dialogue — face-to-face or via video technology — as a way to explore and expand the perspectives of clashing groups and provide the opportunity for greater understanding between them. Organizations as diverse as the United Nations Development Programme, NGOs in Pakistan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Haiti, the Qatar Foundation, the Afghan Ministry of Higher Education and NATO are partnering with the center.

Millheim hosts first Fiber Festival By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

MILLHEIM — The inaugural Millheim Fiber Festival was held on Sept. 13, with events taking place throughout downtown, including a yarn and craft vendor show held in the Brementown Ballroom on Main Street. Shoppers filled the ballroom, which featured displays from 10 vendors, according to festival organizer Kim Bierly, who operates Main Street Yarn in Rebersburg. She and Erin Condo McCracken began organizing the event in May. “We said, ‘Let’s have a fiber festival in Millheim.’ We didn’t even have to think about it twice. We said, ‘Let’s do it,’” said Bierly. She noted that there are many people in the area involved with spinning yarn, weaving, knitting and crocheting, and that most similar festivals are held in distant locations. “That involves travel and lodging expense,” said Bierly. “We have as good a variety of fibers here today as you’re going to find anywhere. There’s not as many vendors, but the variety is fabulous.” She noted that the festival brought in local vendors from Spring Mills, Centre Hall, Rebersburg and Julian, as well as some from Trout Run, Warren and Maryland. Bierly was pleased with the turnout

of attendees for this first year, and expects the festival to grow every year. The festival also featured live spinning demonstrations, kids’ crafts, knitting areas and live sheep. Connie Hile, of Centre Hall, represented Original Creations by Connie. She sells a line of embroidered pillows, pot holders, dish towels and other items which she makes herself. “I’ve always enjoyed crafts and sewing,” said Hile. Her crafts have won many awards at the Grange Fair in Centre Hall. Ellen Campbell and Patty Devecka were present representing Scraps and Skeins, an organization made up of a group of knitters and quilters who share a vision of creative reuse aimed at improving the lives of those with disabilities. They had numerous fabric and yarn items for sale at the fiber festival. Devecka said that all the items were donated, and that the proceeds from their sales will benefit Strawberry Fields in State College, which offers services to the developmentally, intellectually and mentally disabled. Campbell and Devecka are board members at Strawberry Fields. Jan Jenkins, along with her husband, Mike Arthur, operates Tamarack Farm near Spring Mills where they raise Icelandic, Tunis and Merino breeds of sheep. Jenkins explained the differences between yarns produced from the wool of each breed.

SAM STITZER/For the Gazette

THE BREMENTOWN BALLROOM in Millheim was filled with yarn and craft vendors, as well as many shoppers, at the inaugural Fiber Festival. She said the Icelandic breed’s yarn is rugged and very weather-resistant, and the Merino wool is soft and fine. She had yarn and several knitted items made from wool

harvested from the farm’s sheep for sale at the festival. The farm also supplied one of each breed of their sheep for a petting zoo at the Millheim Farmers Market.

Art and artist reunite after 47 years Roger Tadsen created a sculpture made out of car bumpers in 1967 for an art class at Penn State and won a first place gold medal at the first-ever Central Pennsylvania Fine Arts Festival. Now, after 47 years, the artist will be reunited with his work when he returns to Penn State in October. The sculpture was placed between two engineering buildings in an atrium after the executive secretary for the dean of the College of Engineering recommended the sculpture be displayed there. The first few years, Tadsen kept track of the sculpture, even Connie Cousins after he returned to his covers a wide alma mater, Richfield variety of events in Senior High, in RichCentre County for field, Minn., to teach. the Centre County From time to time he Gazette. Email her would ask someone at ccous67@gmail. going to Penn State to com. find the sculpture and see if it needed cleaning or other care. One time, an old college buddy was taking his daughter as a freshman to campus and they located the statue in a portico and down a hallway — not in a high-traffic area any longer.

CONNIE COUSINS

Years rolled by and Tadsen changed jobs and thought little about the piece. When his firm, Northland Securities, opened an office in Camp Hill, Pa., he asked one of his employees, who was in Minneapolis for training, if she ever traveled to State College. She did go there and on her second trip found a sculpture outside the Hammond Building, but it was the wrong one. Tadsen advised his employee to ask an older secretary who might know and remember the story of the sculpture. On her way home and a few miles outside of State College, his employee received a call. The “Bumper” sculpture had been found. There is a hint of mystery concerning how the sculpture wound up in the Engineering A Building. For several years it was in a staircase in Sackett Building, just off the first floor of the lounge. Lynda Tollner, in a Facebook post, said that when “Bumper” was in a dimly lit corner of a windowless landing, she would come around the corner and be scared by it. “It was like a lurking, hulking guy in armor,” she said. Tollner admits having help to relocate the sculpture, but some details are fuzzy. It seemed like a great gift to give the AE Department to remember them by. So, with the help of some friends, the move was accomplished. Valerie Kovach Gillespie said: “I remember bringing it to the elevator in En-

gineering Unit B since there was no elevator in A. I think we tried to pick it up to go step by step, but the details are sketchy.” Lou Geschwindner remembers that a note was attached to the sculpture when he found it outside his office in the EngiROGER TADSEN neering Department. But, once it showed up in Engineering A, Geschwindner began to watch over it. “It remained in the hall on the second floor outside the office suite I was in until the remodeling project, when it was moved to the first floor, just outside the main office, where it remained for many years, in a reasonable location to display this piece of art. Once the remodeling was completed and we all moved from 101 Engineering A back upstairs, the sculpture remained on the first floor,” Geschwindner said. Geschwindner went on to say that a few years ago, he returned from a trip and the sculpture was gone. After some investigating it was discovered that the University Safety Office had deemed it unsafe, since it could topple over. Since nothing had been done with it, Geschwindner decided he could keep it safe and pursued its recovery. One day it was rolled back into his office. There it stayed for a year or more, but since

it obstructed the file drawers in his office, Geschwindner moved it back out into the public space. This time, as a good structural engineer is prone to do, he tied it to the column so it would not fall over and hurt someone. There it stayed safe and sound. In May, Geschwindner’s office, which he utilized frequently, even in retirement, was needed for a new faculty member. “Much of the stuff in my office went to salvage, including the ‘Bumper’ sculpture,” he said. Geschwindner is now located at 1344 S. Atherton St. in the offices of Providence Engineering. Tadsen had asked, through Geschwindner, if the sculpture might be returned to him and permission was granted more than a year ago. Tadsen had every intention of coming to a football game and picking up the sculpture, but his wife became ill and the plans were scrapped at that time. A new dramatic development occurred recently in the ongoing saga of the sculpture. The tall sculpture appeared for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $50. When Geschwindner found out, he went to work to attempt to stop the sale. Clark Colborn, the college facilities officer, made the connection to the salvage office and the sale was stopped. The sculpture is being held for pickup on Friday, Oct. 24, when Tadsen and his wife plan to come to town and reclaim the award — a winning piece of art history.

Spring Mills holds community-wide yard sale days By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — Spring Mills held its annual community-wide yard sale on Sept. 12 and 13, with the town overflowing with shoppers perusing the many sales, looking for all kinds of used items offered up at bargain prices. Along the parking lot of the Old Gregg School Community Center, Jane Scheuchenzuber sat relaxing in the cool, damp morning air at her sale. She was selling toys and electronics which had belonged to her grown son. On Long Street Extension, Brenda Hockenberry held a sale of items including a metal doll house from her childhood in the 1950s. Long Street featured several sales in yards, porches and driveways. Linda Hosterman hosted a big sale, with her porch and yard filled with clothing and household items. Her inventory was drawing a large crowd of customers.

On Cooper Street, Dorothy Albright was selling more than 30 alarm clocks that her late husband, Walter, had collected throughout their 47-year marriage. “Some of these are over 100 years old,” she said. “One was his (Walter’s) dad’s clock.” Almost all of the clocks were wind-up mechanical types, with just a few electric examples. Along many streets, the aroma of barbecued chicken permeated the air. Grace United Church of Christ was having its annual sale of barbecued chicken, sandwiches, soup and baked goods. The church also held a yard sale inside the building. The church’s food sale tradition goes back 40 years in Spring Mills. Event organizers said the proceeds all go back to the community. The church supports the Penns Valley HOPE Fund, the Gregg Township Fire Company, Penns Valley EMS and several other organizations in the area.

Penns Valley freshman class commits to graduate By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Members of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s freshman class at Penns Valley High School began their high school academic careers by attending a special assembly â&#x20AC;&#x153;Commit to Graduate.â&#x20AC;? The assembly was led by Scott Geesey, a representative of Jostens Inc. The presentation demonstrated to the students the importance of earning a high school diploma. Geesey stated some disturbing statistics regarding the high school dropout rate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;About one out of every three high school students across the country fails to graduate with a diploma,â&#x20AC;? said Geesey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twelve million students drop out of school every year. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staggering, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a crying shame because those kids really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand what they just did.â&#x20AC;? In Pennsylvania, around 170 students drop out of high school every school day. Geesey emphasized the correlation between education and lifetime income potential. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who wants to get a million dollars?â&#x20AC;? he asked the students. Everyone raised their hands. Geesey explained that statistics show that students who graduate from high school can expect to earn just more than $1 million in their careers. He pointed out that college graduates are likely to

earn almost twice that figure, but high school dropouts will earn only around $630,000 in a lifetime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You might say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Six hundred and thirty-thousand dollars â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that sounds like a lot of money,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and it is if you got it all at once, but over the course of a lifetime, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not very much,â&#x20AC;? said Geesey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Divide that number by 40 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less than $16,000 a year. We call that poverty level, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a very good figure to have. Getting that diploma really is worth it.â&#x20AC;? Geesey said that ninth-graders are the target students for the Commit to Graduate program because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when grades begin to count toward grade point averages, which college administrators and employers will consider. Statistics also show that of the four high school classes on average, ninth-graders have the lowest grade point averages while also having the highest discipline referral rate. Geesey urged the students to get involved in extra-curricular activities, such as sports teams, clubs, music, etc., comparing that involvement to being the driver of a car, not just a passenger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want a whole room full of drivers,â&#x20AC;? he said. He encouraged the students to make the effort to get good grades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grade point average is crucial,â&#x20AC;? he added. The presentation also featured video clips of typical high school students from around the country speaking on topics relevant to the theme. After the presentation, the students were invited to sign

their names to a Class of 2018 graduation gown, a commitment to graduate that will later be displayed at the school for all students to examine. Each ninth-grader also received a special bracelet as a reminder of the occasion.

YSB offers programs to help with stressors

BUTTERFLY RELEASE

By BECKY KOONS Special to the Gazette

Being a youth trying to balance the pressures of school, social life and home life can be difficult. Being a parent/caregiver to one of these pre-teens or teens, and supporting them and guiding them through these transition years while also balancing work and home life pressures, can be even more stressful. Did you know that there are free programs offered right in your community to help with these stressors? The Strengthening Families Program for Youth ages 10 to 14 is an evidence-based youth and family prevention program that promotes family bonding and the importance of family time. SFP is an exciting opportunity for families. Parents and youth attend one evening per week for seven weeks and have fun together while learning ways to promote family bonding, keep the lines of family communication open and use family strengths to solve problems together. Youth will spend the first hour of each session learning about topics Submitted photo

such as empathy, how to deal with stress and peer-pressure resistance. Parents will meet separately for that first hour to discuss parenting strategies and how to guide their youth in setting goals and making good decisions. The second hour of each session is spent together working on fun family activities that promote strong family relationships. Youth will learn protective factors such as peer pressure refusal skills, positive peer relationships and how to empathize with parents. Parent/ caregivers will learn family protective factors such as positive parent-child

interactions, supportive family involvement, age-appropriate expectations and monitoring, clear expectations regarding substance use and a shared understanding of family values. During the past two years, the Centre County Youth Service Bureau has implemented SFP throughout Mifflin and Centre counties, with 52 families having participated in the program and reported significant improvements with their children’s ability to handle the stresses of school and home life and to deal with peer pressure. The Strengthening Families Program is a great way to spend one-onone time each week and strengthen the family bond. A free meal is served at the beginning of each session and free child care is provided for siblings who are not in the program’s age range. To register or for more information, contact YSB at (814) 2375731. Becky Koons is a street outreach counselor at the Centre County Youth Service Bureau.

MINUTEMEN

MEET THE Massachusetts offers chance for PSU to jell

the game before entering into the meat of their Big Ten schedule. UMass ranks 110th nationally in total defense, which should help Penn State work on their nonexistent rushing attack and sub-par offensive line play. “(The UMass) defense runs very well,” Penn State head coach James Franklin said at his weekly press conference Tuesday. “They play really hard. They utilize, really, an unorthodox scheme and concepts, and I think that’s kind of part of their plan. They are trying to make up for some challenges that they have by being unorthodox.” The Nittany Lions have the ninth worst rushing attack in college football. They have also been unable to get the trio of Bill Belton, Zach Zwinak and Akeel Lynch an inch of running room, averaging only 75.7 yards per game. The inexperienced offensive line not only has had trouble opening holes for the running game but also is struggling to keep defenders from harassing sophomore quarterback Christian Hackenberg. The line has already allowed eight sacks on the season. Penn State cannot afford to let Hackenberg keep taking hits or his health could be in jeopardy. Despite the lack of protection Hackenberg and the Penn State offense currently have the 10th best passing offense in the nation. Hackenberg has already eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark on the season and his favorite targets Geno Lewis (380 yards) and DaeSean Hamilton (337) yards rank 5th and 13th in receiving yards. The Penn State defense has been the heart and soul of the team so far this season only giving up an average of 12 points game despite being on the field a lot. UMass has not scored at a high rate and they also struggle running the ball. Jamal Wilson is the Minutemen’s leading rusher with only 88 yards on 20 carries. “They (UMass) run a multiple offense,” Franklin said. “They are unorthodox, as well, in a lot of ways, utilize a lot of different formations, misdirection and deception. They scored over 30 points in their lost two games against FBS opponents.” “We’ve got to do a better job with our kickoffs and be more consistent,” he said, noting the success that UMass’ kick returner, junior Trey Dudley-Giles has had this season. “(He’s) doing both their kick return and punt return. (Their) punt return is averaging over 15 yards and kick return

UNIVERISTY PARK — Nothing has come easy for the Nittany Lions (3-0) yet this season. Their biggest victory, so far, was a 21-3 over mid-major opponent Akron. In their other two wins, the Nittany Lions eked out victories in their final offensive drive of the game. Coming off a dramatic 13-10 victory over Big Ten foe Rutgers, Penn State is hoping it will be a much easier week. The Massachusetts Minutemen (0-3) are set to visit Happy Valley on Saturday at 4 p.m. for the two programs’ first ever meeting. UMass is led by head coach Mark Whipple, the father of Penn State backup quarterback transferee Austin Whipple. The freshman quarterback transferred to UMass this spring to play for his father, but he’ll have to sit out the entirety of the season due to transfer rules. Coach Whipple led the Minutemen to a Division II National Championship in 1998. For the first time, UMass will be a member of the Football Bowl Subdivision and the MAC Conference exclusively for football. Last week the Minutemen lost 34-31 to Vanderbilt in heartbreaking fashion. Kicker Blake Lucas missed a 22-yard field goal in attempt to tie the game as time expired. UMass missed a chippie field goal late in the Vanderbilt game that would have tied the score. They also have losses to Boston College (30-7) and Colorado (4138). The Minutemen average 82 yards rushing per game, with Jamal Wilson (29.3), JT Blyden (34) and Lorenzo Woodley as leaders. Quarterback Blake Frohnapfel has completed 46 of 94 passes for 619 yards this season, with five touchdowns and two interceptions. Tajae Sharp (246 yds, TD) and Rodney Mills (112 yards, three TD) are the team’s leading receivers. Saturday’s matchup is favorable for the Nittany Lions and should be an opportune time for them to brush up on all facets of

The good, the bad and the ugly PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Well, that one certainly wasn’t pretty. However, an ugly win is better than a pretty loss. The bottom line is this — Penn State is now 3-0, with a very good chance to make it through September unscathed. Wins over UCF (2624), Akron (21-3) and Rutgers (1310) certainly haven’t been works of art. But at the end of the day, James Franklin and the rest of Nittany Nation will take it. The Lions showed a lot of grit and determination during the Sept. 13 13-10 win over the Scarlet Knights. This week, things should get easier with UMass coming to town. Let’s take a look at last week’s good, bad and ugly. n The good — Hack. Once again, sophomore quarterback Christian Hackenberg was good when he needed to be. He didn’t throw a touchdown pass, but he didn’t have to. He threw the ball 44 times and racked up 309 yards through the air.

He had one really lousy pass that was easily intercepted, but it was a relative mistake-free game for Hack, who has led the Lions on a pair of game-winning drives. n The bad — The Penn State ground game. Running back Bill Belton led the Lions with just 36 yards on the ground. The Lions have got to get the run blocking figured out. A solid ground game will take some of the pressure off Hackenberg. Right now, it’s just not working. Belton’s touchdown run was a highlight, however. n The ugly — Special teams. Sam Ficken missed a field goal (sigh) and the Lions had a punt blocked. Those things won’t come back to haunt you against a sub-par team like Rutgers. However, once the Lions get into the teeth of their schedule, they won’t be able to afford mistakes like those. The good news is that there’s time to work out the kinks. — Chris Morelli

Lions persevere against an inspired Rutgers team By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

PISCATAWAY, N.J. — This was one game that more than lived up to its hype. With Penn State and Rutgers both coming into the season’s first Big Ten contest with 2-0 records, after a week of talk about a new rivalry, the teams finally ran onto High Point Solutions Stadium field on Sept. 13. The stage was set before a wild, sellout crowd, and the Lions and Knights did not disappoint. In its first conference game ever, Rutgers played inspired football all night, especially on defense. The Knights sacked Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg five times, allowed Penn State only 64 total yards rushing and generally played havoc with the Penn State offense. But the Knights couldn’t keep it up for the whole 60 minutes, and Hackenberg directed a last-minute, 80-yard touchdown drive that pulled the game out for Penn State, 13-10. Burdened under the weight of five interceptions by quarterback Gary Nova, the Rutgers defense began springing leaks in the second half. After being shut out in the first half, Hackenberg and Co. began to move the ball in the third quarter. The Lions were turned away twice in the red zone, but Sam Ficken atoned with a field goal on each occasion to draw the Lions to within 10-6 with 13 minutes to play. After a Brandon Bell interception, Penn State was again on the move, but the drive stalled on the Rutgers’ 36, and the Knights got the ball back with just over five minutes to play on the clock. As it had been all night, the Penn State defense was up to the challenge, and the Lions got the ball back on their own 20 with 3:02 to play. As it turned out, Penn State needed less than two minutes of that time. A 53yard pass-and-run to Geno Lewis, another Lewis hookup for 23 on a third-and-12 and a 5-yard touchdown burst by Bill Belton put the Lions ahead for the first time in the

game, 13-10. Rutgers still had 1:13 left to score, but Ryan Keiser took care of that when he chalked up the Lions’ fifth interception of the game to seal the win. “First of all,” Penn State head coach James Franklin said, “I am so proud of these kids and the whole organization because they persevere. Talk about perseverance, and this whole program and this university, what they’ve been through, and I think this team exemplifies that. They’re gritty, they’re hard-nosed and they never stop believing in themselves. Never stop believing in Penn State. So really, really proud of them. “Winning minimizes issues, and losing magnifies issues, but the issues are still there. We have to get better, but the most important is that we were able to come on the road, on a hostile environment and stick together.” Even with those issues Franklin spoke about, there were still many things for Penn State fans to be happy about. The defense, again, was outstanding. After spending most of the first half on the field and giving up 10 points, the Lions shut out Rutgers in the second half. Rutgers only crossed the 50-yard line once after halftime, and Penn State only allowed 102 yards on the ground on the night. Nova did throw for 192 yards, but Trevor Williams picked him off twice, and Adrian Amos, Bell, and Keiser each had an interception, as well. In the end, Rutgers could not overcome the turnovers and the aggressive Penn State defenders. “I thought the defense played extremely well,” Franklin said, “from top to bottom.” Hackenberg added another 33 completions and 309 yards of passing offense to his totals. It was far from easy because he was sacked, harassed, chased and hit all night. Yet for the second time in three games, when it counted, he came through with clutch plays and led the Lions to big wins. “The thing with Christian (Hackenberg) I’ve been so impressed with,” Franklin said, “obviously he’s a talented guy, and

Belton led the team in rushing with 36 yards during the game. when you’re getting pressured and sacked as many times as he’s getting, and when our running game isn’t where we want it, it puts a lot on his shoulders.” As good as the whole defense has been, the defensive line has really stood out. Anthony Zettle, C.J. Olaniyan and Deion Barns all had sacks, while Zettle had three tackles for loss. Olaniyan and Barnes also had a tackle for loss. Zettle was especially disruptive, so much so that Rutgers coach Kyle Flood singled him out and bluntly said that the Knights couldn’t handle him in the second half. And Lewis and DaeSean Hamilton combined for 14 catches and 212 yards. Their play so far has almost erased the pre-season fears about the Lions’ receiving corps. The issues with the team of course start with the running game. None of the

Penn State running backs could find room to run, and that put extra pressure on Hackenberg and the passing game. With little worry about the Lions’ running, the Knights were able to tee off on Hackenberg. Long-time Penn State fans have seen this before: a young and relatively inexperienced offensive line — with a few injuries — that has to learn on the job. What they need is experience, and a little success, but who knows how long Penn State can wait with the meat of the schedule coming up. Two blocked kicks were not good, even though Rutgers is probably the best team in the country in that category. Ficken, however, did come back to make two important field goals in the second half. Finally, the Lions are 3-0 for the first time since 2009, and they know what they have to do to improve.

Kickoff will take place at 4 p.m. at Beaver Stadium and will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network. Looking ahead, Penn State will be thrust into Big Ten play. The first will be at home against Northwestern on Sept. 27, followed by a bye week and a trip to Michigan on Oct. 11.

is averaging over 35 yards. So there’s no doubt he’s a playmaker and we have got a tremendous challenge.” One can expect James Franklin to run the ball as much as possible until he sees production from the running game. Hackenberg should also drop back into many five and seven step drops to work on one on one pass protection.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. — It wasn’t pretty, but Penn State managed to do it again, coming away with a 13-10 last minute victory over Rutgers, moving to 3-0 on the year and 1-0 in conference play. The Nittany Lions made plays when they had to, but there was a lot of ugly to be found on the offensive side of the ball almost the entire game. Not all games are going to be beautiful displays of skill and talent and the Sept. 13 contest was certainly proof of that. Even so, all that matters at the end of the day is what the box score says, not how it came to be. n Offense: CPenn State’s offense was an interesting sight on Saturday, with the running game averaging 1.9 yards a carry to the tune of 64 yards over 33 carries that included 12 runs by Christian Hackenberg. With the run game out of the question, it opened Penn State up to blitz after blitz by Rutgers and a 9-of-20 third-down conversion rate. Penn State made big plays to end the game and Hackenberg’s 309 yards passing and one interception were solid enough to win, but the Nittany Lions were fortunate to be in a situation where such a poor showing could still result in a victory. Standout Player: Geno Lewis’ six catch-

es for 109 yards with a 53-yard catch and run on Penn State’s game-winning drive made him the right man in the right place for the Nittany Lions. DaeSean Hamilton had eight catches for 103 yards, which somewhat qualifies him to receive costandout honors. The timing of Lewis’ catches give him the edge, though. n Defense: A+ Simply put, Penn State does not win on Saturday if not for the defense. Rutgers’ three first downs and less than 100 yards of offense in the second half are nearly as impressive as Rutgers quarterback Gary Nova’s ability to throw five interceptions. Three sacks and seven tackles for a loss came at timely moments in the game that kept a sputtering Penn State offense within reach. The defense wasn’t without a few plays of the 15-plus-yard variety, but it’s nearly impossible to prevent those for an entire game. Overall, Penn State’s defense won the Nittany Lions the game as much as Hackenberg’s final drive heroics. Standout Player: This is a difficult one to pick, but in the vein of “picks,” Trevor Williams gets the nod this week with two interceptions and five tackles. Anthony Zettel had four tackles, three for a loss, and a sack, and Mike Hull led the team with nine stops to give both of them a strong case for the honors as well. Adrian Amos and Deion Barnes also get honorable mentions.

Bellefonte wallops P-O to end losing streak and claim Luther Trophy By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — Earlier last week, the Bellefonte Area School District installed a new scoreboard at Rogers Stadium. The Red Raiders wasted little time in lighting it up. Bellefonte racked up 36 first-half points and that was all the Red Raiders would need in a 36-0 whitewashing of Philipsburg-Osceola. The win snapped a 19-game losing streak for the Red Raiders. It was also the first win for second-year head coach Shanon Manning. “I wanted to get these kids a win. They deserved a win,” Manning said. “I’m so happy for them. I’m just focused on the kids right now.” The win brought home the Luther Trophy for the Red Raiders (1-2). After the final seconds ticked away, the Bellefonte student section stormed the field as the players hoisted the trophy and celebrated in front of the new scoreboard. “This is a long-standing rivalry in Centre County. That game has been going on for a long, long time and a lot of legendary coaches have coached in this game. That means a lot to these kids,” Manning said. Bellefonte scored on its first five possessions of the game. Nick Jabco scored the first points of the night on a 21-yard touchdown run to make it 6-0 with 8:53 to play in the opening frame. Just three minutes later, Bellefonte quarterback Mark Armstrong hit wide receiver Kellen Moss in the back of the end zone for a 24-yard touchdown. Austin Jackson scored on the two-point conversion. At the end of the first quarter, the Red Raiders held a 14-0 lead — but they weren’t done just yet. Jackson broke loose for a 75-yard touchdown run to push Bellefonte’s lead to 20-0 with 10:26 left in the first half. Following a P-O turnover, the Red Raiders scored on a 1-yard run by Dillon Kephart. A two-point conversion pass from Armstrong to Jackson extended the lead to 28-0. A Storm Smith 1-yard touchdown run followed by an Armstrong two-point conversion made it 36-0. The Red Raiders took the insurmountable lead into the locker room. Bellefonte had another touchdown

We had a touchdown called back, we missed a couple of open guys. But it is what it is. Whether you win by one or you win by 50, it’s nice to win,” Manning said. Offensively, Jackson led the way for the Red Raiders. He racked up 111 yards on the ground on just nine carries. Kephart (51 yards), Jabco (45) and Smith (32) also chipped in. Armstrong completed just the one pass, but he didn’t throw an interception. The Red Raiders won the turnover bat-

tle. P-O lost a pair of fumbles and quarterback Jake Anderson was intercepted once. “We had a short field a couple of times and it was nice being on the other end of the turnovers. We were able to capitalize. The kids came out in the first half and they were focused,” Manning said. Defensively, the Red Raiders stepped up. In addition to pitching the shutout, they held the Mounties to under 100 yards in total offense. P-O was led by running back Ty Laird, who had 39 yards on 15 carries. Wideout Caleb Belinda had 21 yards on four receptions. Anderson completed just seven of 17 passes for 38 yards. He also had the costly

interception. The Mounties, now 0-3, will try to get back on the winning track on Friday, Sept. 19, when they host Tyrone. Now, the Red Raiders face a daunting task. On the same night, they will travel to Glen Dale, W.Va., to take on John Marshall. It’s the first of four consecutive road games for Bellefonte. “It’s just another game. We’ve become the Road Raiders,” Manning said. “We’ve got four in a row on the road and six of seven on the road. It is what it is. You gotta go out and make the most of the opportunity. I think the kids look at it as a chance to go out and do something different.”

Penns Valley gets defensive in win at Bald Eagle Area By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

WINGATE — In a football game between two evenly matched teams, scoring a defensive touchdown is a game changer. Getting two of them is a game winner. Which is what happened on Sept. 12 when Penns Valley took on Bald Eagle Area in Wingate. Penns Valley linebacker Colton Treaster returned two BEA fumbles for touchdowns and recovered another as the Rams picked up their first win of the season with a rousing 28-6 victory over the Eagles. In the second quarter Treaster picked up a fumble caused by teammate Luke Bitsko and returned it 16 yards for a score that gave Penns Valley a 14-0 lead. In the fourth quarter he snagged a mishandled pitch and ran 70 yards for a touchdown that essentially put the game away at 22-6. “It was a pitch,” Treaster said. “A pitch to (Mitchell) Struble, and he bobbled it. He happened to bobble it right to me. Took it. Went to the house with it.” Treaster’s play highlighted an overall solid performance by the Rams in a game they needed to avoid going 0-3 to begin the season. Beside Treaster, quarterback Ben Alexander scored Penns Valley’s first TD on a 4-yard keeper, and then Alexander found Bitsko open for a 24-yard, fourth-quarter touchdown pass that wrapped up the scoring for the night. “This was huge for our kids and their confidence,” Penns Valley coach Martin Tobias said. “We talked about the things

we were doing well. We focused on the things we were doing well, and we emphasized that we needed to be more consistent in the things we do well. “We caught some breaks tonight, no question. Bald Eagle had a real nice game plan and a good attack. We were fortunate to get some stops early, held them on fourth down a couple times. A lot of good things from our kids, and they a played a complete game from start to finish.” After a scoreless first quarter, the Rams broke through after Bitsko blocked a punt attempt and Penns Valley took over at the BEA 25. Three plays later, Alexander took it around left end for the night’s first score and an 8-0 Ram lead. On the very next snap, Bitsko knocked the ball loose from Eagle quarterback Jason Jones, and Treaster picked it up on the 16 and sailed in. “Luke Bitsko hit him and knocked the ball loose,” Treaster said, “and I saw the ball on the ground, no one around me, so I just scooped and started running for the end zone. All green.” Bald Eagle responded quickly and got itself back into the game with an eightplay, 51-yard drive drive for a score. Struble did the honors with a 4-yard run, but Penns Valley blocked its second kick of the game on the extra point try and the score stood at 14-6 going into halftime. Neither team scored in the third, but BEA mounted a threat to begin the fourth quarter. The Eagles drove to the Rams’ 30 after a 33-yard pass from Jones to Shane Kuhnes. On the next play, Jones rolled to his right and pitched the ball to Struble, but the ball seemed to bounce off his pads

PENNS VALLEY’S Ben Alexander (17) finds some running room during the week 3 game with Bald Eagle Area. The Rams won the game, 28-6. and up in the air. Treaster was there, caught it and rumbled 70 yards to the end zone. “That was a really nice addition to what we were trying to do,” Tobias said. “I guess Colton decided that the offense hasn’t been putting the ball in the end zone the last two weeks, maybe the defense should.” Penns Valley finished the scoring for the night after the Ram defense held BEA on fourth down on the Eagle 28. Three plays later, Alexander hit Bitsko with a 24-yard

strike, and Penns Valley was up, 28-6. Alexander finished the game ninefor-18 for 100 yards and a touchdown, while Wyatt Sharp led the Rams in rushing with 71 yards on 19 attempts. Struble led the Eagles with 107 yards on 20 attempts with a touchdown. “This game was a great confidence boost,” Alexander said. “It is going to get us rolling. Coach said this was a game that could build up our team. It’s what we needed, that’s for sure.”

State High falls to powerhouse Martinsburg, 28-21 From Gazette staff reports MARTINSBURG, W.VA. — State College dug itself an early 14-point hole and, despite dominating the second half, couldn’t overcome the deficit in a 28-21 loss at West Virginia powerhouse Martinsburg on Sept. 12. It was Martinsburg’s 40th straight home victory. The Bulldogs, who have won four consecutive West Virginia state titles, converted two turnovers in the opening seven minutes into two quick scores. The visiting Little Lions held the home team to a three-and-out on its opening possession, but Kellin Valentine fumbled the punt return at the 25. Martinsburg scored four plays later on a Trey Boyd 1-yard run. The Little Lions moved the ball on their first possession, but a botched snap led to a turnover at midfield. It took Martinsburg three plays to up the lead to 14-0 on another 1-yard run by Boyd. “The fumbled punt return and center snap really hurt us early on because we were down 14-0 before we could blink,” State College head coach Matt Lintal said. “However, our kids didn’t let the deficit phase them. They just kept plugging along and working their way back into the game. It was good to see that everyone kept their heads up and stayed positive through the tough start.” Early in the second quarter, quarterback John Weakland tossed a screen pass to Jordan

Misher, who took it 41 yards for the score. Kevin Cramer converted the extra point to cut the Bulldog lead to 14-7. Martinsburg dominated field position for most of the game. After a short punt, the Bulldogs again scored quickly, moving 35 yards in just two plays. Deamonte Lindsay’s 12-yard run made it 21-7 with five minutes remaining in the half. Weakland used his arm and his feet to lead State College on a 71-yard touchdown drive late in the half. The senior quarterback, who finished 15-of-24 for 209 yards, hit Valentine for a 30yard gain to put the Little Lions inside the Bulldog 20. Martinsburg held, but on fourth down Weakland scrambled 26 yards to the Bulldog 1. Weakland took it in from there to cut the Bulldog lead to 21-14. It looked like Martinsburg would take the seven-point lead into the locker room, but thanks to a big kickoff return the Bulldogs again were set up in good field position at midfield. Quarterback Carter Walburn found Dylan Brewer in the end zone with a 21-yard pass with just 27 seconds remaining in the half. State College blocked the extra point to give Martinsburg a 27-14 lead after halftime. The Little Lion defense dominated play in the second half, holding Martinsburg to just 72 yards and four first downs. “Our kids played hard and shut down a very potent offensive

attack throughout the second half,” Lintal said. “Our coaches made some critical adjustments at halftime and out kids believe in and executed that plan for the second half.” Weakland directed State College on a 72-yard drive, culminating in a 17-yard touchdown pass to Brett Graham with 3:42 remaining in the third quarter, cutting the Martinsburg lead to 27-21. Martinsburg’s only turnover of the game, a fumble on its own 8-yard line, gave State College a great opportunity to take the lead, but the Little Lions could not move the ball and Cramer missed a 33-yard field goal attempt. The Little Lions had two more drives into Bulldog territory, but came up empty. On the final drive, Weakland drove his team from its own 1-yard line to the Martinsburg 47, but a sack and three incomplete passes ended State High’s chances. “Offensively, we were able to move the ball effectively but missed a few opportunities to put points on the board. We need to take advantage of those opportunities, especially when playing a team that has won four straight state titles,” Lintal said. It was the second straight season in which State High lost to Martinsburg by six points. In 2013, the Bulldogs won 35-29 at Memorial Field. Lintal could not have been more pleased with his team.

JAKE GRAHAM/Special to the Gazette

STATE COLLEGE AREA High School quarterback John Weakland drops back to pass during his team’s Sept. 12 game at Martinsburg, W.Va. The Little Lions lost, 28-21. “Our team effort was fantastic,” Lintal said. “Our kids got stronger as the game went on. They poured their hearts out into that game. Despite the outcome, we learned a lot about who we

are as a football team. We are now ready to start the Mid-Penn Commonwealth season.” State College opens the MidPenn season Friday, Sept. 19, at Memorial Field.

Week 4: Bellefonte travels to W.Va., State High at home By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE (1-2) AT JAMES MARSHALL (2-1)

During Week 3, Bellefonte broke a 19game losing streak with a 36-0 win over Philipsburg-Osceola. Now, the question is, can the Raiders get two in a row? They will find out on Friday, Sept. 19, when they travel to Glen Dale, W.Va., to take on West Virginia Class 5A James Marshall. The Monarchs are 2-1 so far this season with victories over Buckeye, Ohio, 41-6,

and Bellaire, Ohio, 33-6. The loss came in Week 1 against University, 21-12. James Marshall presents a balanced run and passing attack. Against Bellaire, with top running back Chase Gump out of the game, quarterback Noah Martin threw for 210 yards and three touchdowns in the win. The Monarchs ran up 451 yards of total offense in that game. Against Buckeye, Gump was back, and he took over the game in the second half. In that game, JM ran the ball on 29 of its final 30 snaps of the game and scored 34 unanswered points. Gump ran 29 times for

ARE YOU READY FOR FALL & WINTER?

144 yards and two touchdowns, mostly in the second half. JM scored all five times it had the ball after halftime. Bellefonte got its running game going on Friday against P-O. The Raiders ran 36 times for 251 yards and four touchdowns. Austin Jackson led the way with 111 yards on nine carries, while Dillon Kephart added 51 and Nick Jabco, 45. The Bellefonte defense, which stymied P-O at every turn last week, will have to step up against Gump and Martin if the Raiders are going to celebrate again. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. in West Virginia.

CARLISLE (2-1) AT STATE COLLEGE (1-2)

After three extremely tough games to start the season against Martinsburg, Bishop McDevitt and Spring Ford, State College opens its Mid-Penn season against

Carlisle on Friday, Sept. 19. Compared to those other three, Carlisle may look like a bit of a breather, but don’t sell the Thundering Herd short. Carlisle has wins over Mechanicsburg, 43-28, and South Western, 34-23. Their only loss is by one point, 19-18, to Red Land in Week 2. Carlisle averages 433 yards and 33 points per game, with 284 of those yards coming through the air. Senior quarterback Billy Burger has completed 47 of 81 passes for 806 yards and five touchdowns so far. He threw for 354 on the loss to Red Land and has only been intercepted once this year. On the ground, Dashawn Millington leads the way with 16 carries for 208 yards and Tyler Greene added 130 yards on 45 carries with four touchdowns. Week 4, Page 21

September 18-24, 2014 Week 4, from page 20 State College has now lost two in a row, and this game is looming as one of its biggest. The Little Lions will rely on running back Jordan Misher and quarterback John Weakland to lead its attack. But the Lion defense will be tested by Carlisle and Burger, and a repeat of last week’s three turnovers could spell trouble. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. in State College.

PENNS VALLEY (1-2) AT CENTRAL (2-1)

It was a big win in every way for Penns Valley on Sept. 12 at Bald Eagle Area. Yet there’s not much time to celebrate, because they travel on Friday, Sept. 19, to face the perpetually tough Central Dragons. Central is 2-1 this season, and it has wins over Tussey Mountain, 34-12, and Clearfield, 35-28. The Dragons lost to Tyrone in the last minutes, 20-13, in Week 2. Dual threat quarterback Mike Mock leads Central in passing and rushing. He’s completed 12 of 17 passes for 263 yards and five touchdowns and rushed 21 times for 120 yards and two touchdowns. Alex Hoenstine also ran for 46 yards and a score, and Hoenstine and Justin Helsel are the leading receivers with a combined 344 yards. Penns Valley relied on its defense last week at BEA, getting three fumbles, two defensive scores and two blocked kicks. Wyatt Sharp and athletic quarterback Ben Alexander lead the attack for PV, along with receiver Luke Bitsko, but it wouldn’t hurt in this game for Bitsko and Colton Treaster to force some more turnovers like they did at Bald Eagle Area. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. in Roaring Springs.

CHESTNUT RIDGE (2-1) AT BEA (1-2)

Bald Eagle Area actually outgained Penns Valley during Week 3’s game, but turnovers (three fumbles) and mistakes (15 penalties and two blocked kicks) were too much to overcome against Penns Valley.

The Centre County Gazette This week, on Friday, Sept. 19, it’s Chestnut Ridge. The Lions beat Everett, 31-13, and Allegany, 33-14, with their loss coming at Fort Hill, 33-7, in Week 2. Chestnut Ridge averages 263 yards per game of offense, with 208 on the ground and 55 passing. Senior quarterback Tyler Wiley averages 55 yards per game passing, while Matt Wiley (102 yards per game) and Tyler Wiley (85 yards per game) are the leading runners. Jason Jones, Mitchell Struble and Hunter Hockenberry lead the Eagle offense, and the offensive and defensive lines for BEA are very strong. But lots has to be cleaned up from last week if the team is to even its record. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. in Wingate.

TYRONE (3-0) AT PHILIPSBURG-OSCEOLA (0-3)

Things are not getting any easier for Philipsburg-Osceola. The Mounties have been wildly up and down so far in three losses, and they were decidedly down Week 3 at Bellefonte. Now it’s (3-0) Tyrone, a heated rival and one of the best teams in the area. The Golden Eagles have taken care of Bellewood Antis, Central and Huntingdon so far and will come into this game as a heavy favorite. P-O has weapons in quarterback Jake Anderson, receivers Caleb Belinda and Tyler Lamb, and running back Ty Laird. But mistakes (three turnovers at Bellefonte) and lapses in run defense have led to the losses. This is a rivalry, and both teams will be fired up, but the Mounties will have to be near perfect to get this into the fourth quarter. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. in Philipsburg.

PENN STATE student hockey tickets are a hot commodity.

Student hockey tickets sell out in three minutes By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The nearly 1,000 student season ticket packages for Penn State men’s hockey sold out in just three minutes according to Penn State Athletics. The lightning-fast pace sets up for what should be another interesting season at the Pegula Ice Arena this fall. “Penn State students comprise the most energized and passionate fan base in collegiate athletics,” said coach Guy Gadowsky. “We’re extremely appreciative of their continued support, along with the raucous atmosphere they help provide during games at Pegula Ice Arena. The coaches, staff and team are excited to see a packed Roar Zone for the first of many times Oct. 10.” Season ticket packages for the 2014-15 season included 14-of-18 homes games at Pegula. The Ohio State and Michigan series fall during campus breaks and were not included in the package. The Nittany Lions will open the 2014-15 schedule Friday, Oct. 10, when they begin a two-game series against UConn. Penn State will bring back nearly all of its 27-man roster, including 24 letter winners and those who made 98 percent of last season’s scoring. Penn State will play all across the country this season, with a weekend series in Alaska and games in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, as well as at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Arts & Entertainment

Penn State Centre Stage announces 2014-15 season UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State Centre Stage will present six powerhouse productions during its 2014–15 mainstage season. The season opens with Theresa Rebeck’s “O Beautiful,” Tuesday, Oct. 7, through Saturday, Oct. 18, in the Playhouse Theatre. Directed by Dan Carter, “O Beautiful” is a theatrically inventive union of contemporary American life and the history that got us to this politically polarized age. “We are incredibly excited to bring ‘O Beautiful’ and Centre Stage’s entire 20142015 line-up to the community,” said Dan Carter, artistic director of Penn State Centre Stage. “One of the purposes of religion, and I believe, theater, is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. The 2014-2015 season is an example of the latter, as it aspires to jolt audiences into thinking and feeling about a number of issues in a new way, to consider their own beliefs, and to contemplate how they respond to the beliefs of others, staying true to themselves while respecting differences in an increasingly uncivil society.” From Tuesday, Nov. 4, through Tuesday, Nov. 18, Centre Stage will present the multiple Tony Award-winning “Spring Awakening” at the Pavilion Theatre, with music by Duncan Sheik and book and lyrics by Steven Sater. Directed by Cary Libkin, “Spring Awakening” is an electrifying fusion of morality, sexuality and rock ‘n’ roll music that explores the journey from adolescence to adulthood with poignancy and passion. The fall season concludes with Stephen Adly Guigis’ “The Motherf**ker With the

Hat,” running from Monday, Nov. 17, through Sunday, Dec. 6, and directed by Steve Broadnax at the Downtown Theatre Center. Set in modern day New York City, “The Motherf**ker With the Hat” is a dark and turbulent comedy about addiction, relationships and, ultimately, love. The spring 2015 season opens with “Avenue Q,” from Wednesday, Feb. 18, through Saturday, Feb. 28, at the Playhouse Theatre. With music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx and book by Jeff Whitty, “Avenue Q” is the winner of the Tony for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book. Directed by Courtney Young, “Avenue Q” is a laugh-out-loud musical that tells a story of the trials and tribulations of a recent college graduate and his neighbors (and puppets) who live all the way out on Avenue Q. “Dogfight,” a musical based on a 1991 film of the same name, will run from Wednesday, April 1, through Sunday, April 11, at the Downtown Theatre Center. With music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul and book by Peter Duchan, “Dogfight” tells a tender and brutal tale of young people meeting in a situation certain to end in heartbreak. Following three young Marines on the eve of their deployment to Vietnam in 1963, the show focuses on Cpl. Eddie Birdlace and Rose, an ungainly but hopeful waitress he recruits in a callous competition with his buddies. Rose, however, changes the way the game is played in an unexpected story of innocence, compassion and new love. Centre Stage will finish its 2014-2015 season with William Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar,” Sunday, April 21, through Tues-

THE IRREVERENT comedy “Avenue Q” is coming to Penn State’s Playhouse Theatre in 2015. day, April 23 (dates subject to change). Presented on the steps of Old Main, this production will be directed by Bill Kelly and set in a contemporary African nation in order to draw parallels between modern African dictatorships and Shakespeare’s Roman Republic of 44 B.C. under the dictatorship of Julius Caesar. The idea that a dictator is pulled down by “honorable men,” only to plunge the nation into a bloody civil war, is the common thread in several African states and is

essentially the same idea that drives “Julius Caesar.” Many of the shows in the series contain challenging topics or launguage and situations that some may find objectional, or are for mature audiences only. For additional show information, visit www. theatre.psu.edu. Tickets are available at Penn State Tickets Downtown, Eisenhower Box Office, Bryce Jordan Center or by calling (814) 863-0255 or (800) ARTS-TIX.

THE GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING Takács Quartet will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 1 at Schwab Auditorium.

Takács Quartet to perform Oct. 1 at Schwab UNIVERSITY PARK — The Grammy Award-winning Takács Quartet will perform classics by Joseph Haydn, Leoš Janáček’s and Claude Debussy at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 1, in Penn State’s Schwab Auditorium. The Center for the Performing Arts concert — part of a three-day Takács residency that includes performances and engagement activities at Penn State’s University Park and Altoona campuses — features Haydn’s String Quartet No. 50 in B-flat Major, Op. 64, No. 3; Janáček’s String Quartet No. 2, “Intimate Letters”; and Claude Debussy’s String Quartet in G minor, Op. 10. Tickets can be purchased online at www.cpa.psu.edu or by phone at (814) 863-0255 or (800) ARTS-TIX. Tickets are also available at four State College locations: Eisenhower Auditorium (weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), Penn State Downtown Theatre Center (weekdays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.), HUB-Robeson Center Information Desk (weekdays, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.) and Bryce

Jordan Center (weekdays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.). A grant from the University Park Allocation Committee makes Penn State student prices possible. The quartet’s four musical personalities come together to play with drama, warmth and humor. Second violinist Károly Schranz, cellist András Fejér and two others formed the ensemble as students in Budapest, Hungary, in 1975. First violinist Edward Dusinberre, a native of England, joined the quartet in 1993. Geraldine Walther, who had been principal violist of the San Francisco Symphony, came on board in 2005. Takács was the first string quartet inducted into the Gramophone Hall of Fame. The musicians are the Christoffersen Faculty Fellows at the University of Colorado and became the first associate artists at London’s Wigmore Hall, where the ensemble performs six concerts each season. The ensemble’s recording of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Op. 59 string quartets earned a Grammy for best chamber music performance in 2003.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Violinist Regina Carter and her band perform music from “Southern Comfort,” her acclaimed 2014 album that offers a contemporary take on traditional music, at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 25, in Schwab Auditorium. “On ‘Southern Comfort,’ her bracing new album, she turns her focus to a chapter in her family history that preceded the Great Migration (of African-Americans from the South to northern cities in the 20th century), when her paternal grandfather was a coal miner in Alabama,” wrote Nate Chinen of The New York Times. “The result is a meditation on American roots music with barely a whiff of the musty carpetbag and more than a hint of personal investment.” Buy tickets online at www.cpa.psu.edu or by phone at (814) 863-0255 or (800) ARTS-TIX. Tickets are also available at four State College locations: Eisenhower Auditorium (weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), Penn State Downtown Theatre Center (weekdays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.), HUB-Robeson Center Information Desk (weekdays, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.) and Bryce Jordan Center (weekdays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.). A grant from the University Park Allocation Committee makes Penn State student prices possible. “Elements of alt-country, folk, Bill Frisell-esque Americana, jazz, traditional music and more merge together beautifully on this gem of an album,” wrote Dan Bilawsky for AllAboutJazz.com. “Carter has no shortage of fine records in her discography, but this one tops them all.” Carter has ventured on a musical odyssey through a series of recordings and tours exploring jazz, African music and

She continues her musical quest with “Southern Comfort,” which includes a blend of folk songs and spirituals that serve as Carter’s interpretation of her family history. Carter — who last performed at Eisenhower with guitarist Russell Malone, pianist Kenny Barron and vocalist Kurt Elling in 2010 — is routinely cited as the finest violinist in jazz. In 2006, the Detroit native received a MacArthur Foundation “Genius” Fellowship in recognition of her artistic achievements.

Some male scientists willing to forsake careers for family By MATT SWAYNE Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; One third of men in academic science are willing to scale back their careers to focus on family life, according to researchers. While traditional fatherhood roles may be shifting, men in the male-dominated fields of academic science, such as physics and biology, face significant challenges in trying to balance work and family life, said Sarah Damaske, assistant professor of labor, employer relations and sociology at Penn State. The majority of men studied spoke of the pull of fatherhood and a desire to spend more time with children, yet they also acknowledged that academic science often demands an intense devotion to work coupled with very long work hours. A small portion of the sample explained that they expected to not have children, because they saw fatherhood as incompatible with the demands of academic science. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These findings suggest to us that the academy does not merely have a gender problem, but also a child-rearing problem â&#x20AC;&#x201D; men who want to have and spend time with their children likely will face challenges in academic science,â&#x20AC;? said Damaske, who worked with Elaine Howard Ecklund, Autrey Professor of Sociology, Rice University; Anne Lincoln, associate professor of sociology, Southern Methodist University; and Virginia White, graduate student, University of Chicago.

The researchers said that one-third of men in academic science largely expect to be involved equally at home and are willing to reduce their work devotion to do so. The study also showed that 64 percent of men interviewed spoke of their desire to be more involved at home and indicated that they make efforts to spend increased time at home. However, 15 percent of respondents chose to forgo childrearing, either by marrying and making a commitment not to have children or by remaining single with no intention of having children. Ecklund said the work-life balance of male scientists is not as well studied as other aspects of family life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Despite the growing amount of research devoted to women in science, there has been relatively little research on the work-life balance of men in academic science,â&#x20AC;? Ecklund said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The majority of existing research on academic men has focused on differences between men and women, leaving us with little information about variation among male scientists. Yet, academic science remains dominated by men, so we need to know if they deal with the same issues balancing work and family life as do women.â&#x20AC;? The study, which appears currently in the online version of Work and Occupations and is scheduled for the November print issue, included in-depth interviews with 74 men across different ranks in biology and physics at prestigious U.S. universities. The interviews were conducted between June 2009 and April 2011 and took

THE MAJORITY OF MEN in academic science who were studied spoke of the pull of fatherhood and a desire to spend more time with children. between 20 minutes and two hours. Each respondent was interviewed once, either in person or by phone. The average age of men in the sample was 41; the median age was 39. The researchers asked participants about whether they had children, were raising children and maintaining a career

as a scientist, career challenges and future steps, how their careers impacted the number of children they chose to have, balancing their career and their spouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career/household duties and other topics. The National Science Foundation, Rice University and Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Population Research Institute supported this work.

School of Theatre alumnus to PSU executive programs offers discuss investing in Broadway new course for entrepreneurs UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Penn State School of Theatre alumnus Mike Karns and Tony Award-winning producer Hunter Arnold (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kinky Bootsâ&#x20AC;?) will discuss the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Business of Broadwayâ&#x20AC;? in an educational session about producing and investing from 3 to 5 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 26, in the Penn State Downtown Theatre Center. Karns, a producer and entrepreneur with new musical development and international concerts to his credit, will be joined by Arnold in discussing the ins and outs of investing in Broadway shows and how producers and investors put deals together. They will divulge the major players in the industry, dispel rumors about traditional investing and give key insight into what it takes to bring a show to Broadway. A producer of the new Broadwaybound musical â&#x20AC;&#x153;Allegiance,â&#x20AC;? Karns now owns his own producing and social media

management business that focuses on entertainment through live performance and engagement through cause and brand awareness. He said his liberal arts education at Penn State has been the biggest asset in his career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My general education classes helped me progress significantly as both a human being as well as a business professional. For students who are looking into careers behind the scenes in theater, I would urge them to get an idea of what it is theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to do, and then use those goals to shape the gen ed courses they take to supplement their theater education.â&#x20AC;? The presentation is free and open to the public, but RSVPs to michael.c.karns@ gmail.com are encouraged by Monday, Sept. 22. The session is presented by the School of Theatre in partnership with the School of Theatre Affiliate Program Group.

I have personally worked with many members of the staff with incredible results,â&#x20AC;? Hoopsick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am very fortunate and appreciative for all they have done thus far and plan to request their assistance in the near future.â&#x20AC;?
