Farm owners recognized for preserving land By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — At its Sept. 23 meeting, the Centre County board of commissioners recognized the owners of three Ferguson Township farms for their participation this year in the Purchase Agricultural Conservation Easement program. Among the three farms of Elwin Stewart and Barb Christ, owners of the 27-acre Happy Valley Vineyard and Winery; Tobi and Jamie Ripka, owners of a 108-acre dairy farm; and John and Clay Campbell, owners of a 181-acre dairy and crop farm, a total of 316.02 acres were added to the county’s growing number of preserved farmland. With the addition of these farms, the county has preserved about 6,750 acres of land through 43 easements since the Purchase Agricultural Conservation Easement program was approved by the government in 1988. An additional 11 farms totaling about 1,000 acres have also been preserved through the county’s Farmland Trust program. The program, which is nonprofit and

run by volunteers, provides tax incentives for landowners who wish to preserve their farmland. “We’re excited to be able to preserve the land,” Stewart said. “We’ve really committed ourselves to it, both financially and emotionally.” Through PACE, the county and state compensate landowners for relinquishing the development rights of their land when they sign the Agricultural Conservation Easement. State funding for the program comes from “a 2 cent per pack tax on cigarettes, which generates about $20 million a year for the program,” according to the Centre County government’s website. The county also contributes matching funds to the program. In Centre County alone, the state and federal governments have contributed about $13.5 million to preserving area farmlands, with the county contributing about $1.8 million, commissioner Michael Farm, Page 6

Benefit planned for family of Howard man killed in fire By CHRIS MORELLI

editor@centrecountygazette.com

HOWARD — A Howard man died in a fire early Sunday morning — and the Centre County community has rallied around his surviving family members. According to Centre County coroner Scott Sayers, Willis Reed Jr., 35, died of smoke inhalation following an early morning blaze on Sept. 21. Reed lived at 554 Swartz Hollow Road in Howard. According to Sayers, the cause of death is accidental.

Several area fire companies responded to the 5:51 a.m. blaze — Howard, Walker Township, Citizen’s Hook and Ladder of Milesburg, Pleasant Gap, Undines (Bellefonte), Snow Shoe, Miles Township, Beech CreekBlanchard and Lock Haven. The state police fire marshal is investigating. No one else was injured in the fire. However, Reed’s wife, Jodi, and three young children were displaced by the fire. The home Benefit, Page 6

BELLEFONTE — The Bellefonte Youth Center is in its new home at 114 N. Spring St. in Bellefonte.

State College man arrested, sedated By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — Things got heated at The Saloon on Sept. 22 when a 24-yearold State College man allegedly head-butted a female patron, leading to a series of violent encounters. Police say officers confronted Nicholas Novacco when he was reportedly kicked out of the Heister Street bar after midnight. At some point, Novacco reportedly instigated an altercation.

After attempting to walk away from officers, he allegedly continued to struggle and resist arrest and forced the officers to tackle and handcuff him. According to authorities, after he was taken to Mt. Nittany Medical Center, Novacco remained uncooperative with hospital staff and ultimately had to be chemically sedated. He has been charged with simple assault, aggravated assault, harassment, resisting arrest and public drunkenness. Novacco was arraigned on a $200,000 bail.

Pregnancy Resource Clinic to celebrate 30 years By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — The Pregnancy Resource Clinic will celebrate 30 years of service in central Pennsylvania this year with its annual Celebrate Life 5K walk/run and 10-mile bike ride. The fundraising event, “30 Years and Still Running,” will take place at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 4, at Stepping Stones Church, 848 Science Park Road, State College. Registration will be open from 8 a.m. until the race starts. This family-friendly event will feature a brunch and kids’ activities, including a bounce house and face painting, after the races. Early registration is also available on the clinic’s website. Those who want to participate in the 5K or bike ride can pay at $25 entrance fee or start their own fundraising pages and ask for sponsors. Top runners, bikers and fundraisers will be entered to win prizes. The Pregnancy Resource Clinic, a nonprofit agency, was established in 1984. It offers pregnancy tests and ultrasounds, sexually transmitted infection tests, and treatment and counseling for those who are expecting a baby or have had an abor-

tion. The clinic does not offer abortions or contraceptives, but will provide necessary information about both subjects for the client’s well-being. All services are free of charge and strictly confidential. In addition to the aforementioned services, the clinic also provides materials assistance in its “baby boutique,” for clients in need of baby products. Liz Hellend, the clinic’s development manager, said the organization wants clients to have a “holistic experience” while being cared for. “We hope that when people leave, they think ‘I really matter,’” Helland said. “We’re more than your typical doctor’s office.” So far this year, the clinic has seen about 450 individual clients and has had about 780 visits. “So, most people come back for a second visit,” said executive director Jenny Summers. Since Penn State’s fall semester started at the end of August, about 64 individuals have made appointments with the clinic, which accounts for about 14 percent of this year’s visits to date. While not all who utilize the clinic’s services are Penn State students, the majority are, Helland said. They also see clients from the greater Centre County area, Altoona and Lock Haven. The clinic is entirely funded by the community, said executive director Jenny Summers, and relies heavily on events such as the Celebrate Life race to provide free services to clients. For a student who might not be able to tell her parents she’s pregnant or has an STI and doesn’t want it to show up on the insurance claim, or for someone who doesn’t have insurance, the clinic “takes

Each week, the clinic has about 25 volunteers who help out, Helland said. Last year, the race and bike ride helped the clinic raise $30,000 to fund its services. This year, Helland and Summers said they’re aiming to raise $34,750 or more. This past summer, the clinic was able to expand its office space upstairs in the

building it currently occupies in downtown State College. Now, Summers and her staff have private work areas, which has freed up more space for exam rooms and learning centers. The Pregnancy Resource Clinic is open Mondays through Wednesdays, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Thursdays, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 5 to 8 p.m.; and Fridays, 9 a.m. to noon. The office is located at 423 S. Pugh St., State College, four blocks from campus. To register for the race and course maps, visit www.scprc.com.

STATE COLLEGE — Michael Karns is out to tell the world about the great things happening at Penn State’s School of Theatre. Karns graduated from the school in 2011 with degrees in stage management and lighting design. Since then, he has created his own production company, which seeks investors interested in supporting shows on Broadway. On Friday, Sept. 26, Karns and his business associate Hunter Arnold, Tony Award-winning producer of the hit “Kinky Boots,” will share insights on the “Business of Broadway.” This workshop will take place at 3 p.m. at the Downtown Theatre Center on Allen Street. The event is free and open to the public. “I wanted to pursue something that combined my art and business interests,” Karns said. Following a short time at Santa Fe Opera in New Mexico, Karns said he took a job working for two Broadway producers. Now, he is heading up his own business and, at the same time, wants to show the world exactly how excellent the graduates of the Penn State School of Theatre truly are. His professional journey began with a workshop he had in New York City. And, because it was so successful, he decided to do one in State College. “To me, getting a show on Broadway — as a producer, performer or investor —

is very compelling,” he said. “I also want to dispel some of the myths about Broadway. For example, the myth that you always lose money when you invest in a Broadway show.” Karns said he is going to use a diversification model for MICHAEL KARNS investors in Broadway shows. Instead of investing $100,000 in one show, he explained, he will have his clients invest smaller amounts in many different shows. “The most surprising thing that people will see is that Broadway shows are businesses. Like any other business, they must raise capital and put a lot of business principles to work,” he said. Currently, he and his mentor, Arnold, are producing a Terrence McNally play, “It’s Only a Play,” which has received positive notice so far. In addition to discussing his business interests, Karns plans to encourage participation in the Penn State Alumni Association. He was recently elected president of the School of Theatre alumni board. “I am going to build a strong, steady connection between current students and professionals on Broadway,” he said. “There are so many Penn Staters with prolific careers in professional theater. It is my goal to establish Penn State as the premiere theater program in the nation. That’s especially true of our music theater program.”

ONE OF THE features of the new Bellefonte Youth Center is a fully-functional kitchen. At one time, the youth center served a “healthy snack.” Now, the youth center serves dinner to children. Youth Center, from page 1 hadn’t seen it at all,” Boyles said. “To hear the screams of excitement when they walked through the door was just awesome.” The new youth center features many of the same features that the old location had. There’s a large television, of course, complete with kids’ movies and video games. There are plenty of tables for games, arts and crafts, and homework. According to Boyles, the new space is exactly what she wanted. “It’s everything we’d hoped for. We’re very visible, we’re close to the schools, we’ve got big windows. Hopefully, this is our permanent home,” Boyles said. Unlike the old center in the Temple Court Building, the new center has a different look. The former liquor store was stripped of its shelving. New floors, fresh paint, new bathrooms and a kitchen were added to the site. Ali Turley, of YSB’s prevention programs, said the youth center is definitely new and improved. “I really like the openness, the open space. Having a big countertop where all the kids can come and have dinner … having some workspace for computers. Everything is new and up to date. Everything is up to code. It’s just a really nice new space,” Turley said. Once the doors of the old youth center closed, the wheels went into motion on the new space. It came together rather quickly, Turley said. “It was hundreds of hours of volunteer time — painting, moving out all of the shelving that was in here before, and then cleaning out the space. There were a lot of things going on at the same time,” Turley said. The new space is right down the street from Bellefonte Elementary School. Now, the youth center will more accessible for those coming after school. “It’s just so important. This is a safe place for kids to come and spend time.

This is a place where kids can come. They know they can get help if they need it, they know that they can get a meal if they need it. They can come here and have a good time. They can come and be in an environment where we take care of them,” Turley said. The grand opening came at just the right time for the center. During the summer months, the youth center went mobile, taking advantage of the warm temperatures to do things outside — field trips, picnics and the like. However, with fall now here, the youth center needed to move activities indoors. “We were mobile all summer long,” said Penny Horner, director of the center. “We would meet the kids in the park or pick them up and take them on trips, things like that. This is very crucial. We have a home for the kids now,” Horner said. A critical part of the new center is the kitchen. Children were used to getting snacks and even hot meals served as part of their visits. A $50,000 grant from the Louis E. Silvi Foundation helped YSB put a kitchen in the new space. “We feed these kiddos dinner every night,” Boyles noted. “Many years ago, we got a grant. Part of that grant was to do a healthy snack. We did a healthy snack for a long time. But we realized that for some kids, that was dinner, so we actually started to cook dinner here. That’s become a great tradition. The kids really look forward to it.” The youth center is open to school children ages 5 through 18. It’s open Monday through Friday after school until 8 p.m. It’s a drop-in center, so there is no cost for those taking part. So, what’s the best feature of the new center? Is it the kitchen? The open space? The location? Horner had a simple answer. “I think the best feature is that it’s a home,” she said. “It’s a place where the kids can come and feel safe. It’s a safe haven for them.”

UNIVERSITY PARK — State College and Penn State are getting involved with a national effort initiated by the Obama administration to curb sexual assaults on college campuses across the nation. The White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault, formed in January, has announced the “It’s On Us” public awareness campaign to educate the public and further efforts to prevent sexual assault. This announcement comes at a time when three sexual assaults and one indecent assault have been reported to State College police since Sept. 18. State College Police Chief Thomas King and University Park Undergraduate Association President Anand Ganjam both said they’ve participated in conference calls with the White House to learn more about this campaign and bring it to State College. King, along with community leaders from college towns across the country, took part in a conference call with Vice President Joe Biden, who explained the “It’s On Us” campaign and its goals for college communities. King said State College police have been involved with educational and preventative measures on violence against women for about a decade, and adds that this new campaign fits well with the goals of the department. The campaign’s goal is to prevent sexual assault by engaging the public and turning it into an issue that every member of a community takes part in. King says sexual assault is an underreported crime, meaning there’s only so much the police can do to prevent it. “We have to talk to our families, our kids, our friends, our classes and our coworkers about this,” King said. “We think that if we can have more people talking

about, and if more people are actively saying this isn’t okay, then hopefully more women will be willing to come forward because they feel supported and won’t have a stigma attached to them.” King said police departments also play a role in making sure victims of sexual assault are treated with empathy and not “revictimized by a criminal justice system that is out of date and antiquated.” Ganjam was originally in touch with a White House representative during the summer, when he took part in conference call with student government leaders from colleges across the country. The representative asked student government leaders to bring together major stakeholders in this issue at their respective campuses, something Ganjam said Penn State has already done with last year’s sexual violence prevention and awareness roundtable. While Penn State is currently being investigated by the U.S. Department of Education for compliance with federal laws related to sexual assault, Ganjam says the university is “making good progress” on this issue. Last year saw a flurry of programming related to sexual violence, while Penn State President Eric Barron recently announced the creation of a sexual assault task force. Ganjam said he expects to be in touch with White House representatives later this week, and is waiting to receive educational materials to distribute around campus. Penn State spokeswoman Lisa Powers said the university plans on airing the new “It’s On Us” public service announcement at the homecoming game against Northwestern. Penn State will continue to look for more ways to bring this message to the student body in the coming months. “We have no greater priority than the safety of our students, faculty and staff, Police, Page 6

Authorities warn of IRS scam By StateCollege.com staff STATE COLLEGE — Authorities say criminals have targeted State College area residents and students by pretending to be IRS representatives and police officers. The State College Police Department and Penn State University Police Department issued a joint consumer alert Sept. 22, along with a Sept. 9 alert from the attorney general’s office, warning the scams have been prevalent in the area for the last few weeks. “The IRS scam described has been reported in the State College area by both non-student and student residents,” police said in the alert. Victims are also receiving calls from people who are posing as law enforcement officials. The scammers say the person receiving the call has a warrant out for his arrest, or a loved one has been arrested, and the victim must provide pre-paid credit cards over the phone to pay fines or bail. Police have also received reports of “caller ID spoofing,” where a scammer deliberately falsifies the caller’s name and phone number to disguise the identity of the calling party. According to police, “identity thieves who want to collect sensitive information such as your bank account or other financial account numbers, your social security number, your date of birth or your mother’s maiden name, will sometimes use caller ID spoofing to make it appear as though they are calling from your bank, credit card company or even a government agency to include law enforcement to appear legitimate so you will provide the requested information.” Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane says consumers should verify their tax status directly with the IRS by calling (800) 829-1040.

Benefit, from page 1 was a total loss. To help the family, Cynthia Gates, of Howard, is organizing a fundraiser. A spaghetti dinner is being held from 2 to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 25, at the Boggs Township community building. “I wanted to do something and this is coming together very quickly,” Gates said. “My sister has done a lot of benefits — bingos, spaghetti dinners. I felt like the bingo would be challenging to put together so quickly. (The dinner) is going very well, though.” According to Gates, she’s gotten a lot of offers from people in the community who want to help. “It’s amazing. I posted it Monday morning on Facebook and the response was overwhelming. People want to donate baked goods, food, things like that. There are a lot of people who just want to help,” she said. Gates will be accepting donations of baked goods that will be served at the dinner. A raffle will be held at the dinner, and items for it are also being accepted. According to Gates, the family needed clothing, but those needs have been met. Now, they’re hoping to get everyday essentials. “(The family) got a lot of clothing donations … now we’re collecting non-perishable food items, soap and laundry detergent. Those are things they’ll need every day,” she said. For those wishing to help in other ways, money is being collected online. For more information about ways to donate, go to www.youcaring.com/memorial-fundraiser/ help-the-reed-family/237433. More than $15,000 has been raised so far. “If people can’t make some baked goods or can’t make the dinner, there are other ways to help,” Gates said. For more information, contact Gates at (814) 574-7970 or visit the Facebook page “Spaghetti dinner to benefit the Reed Family.” Police, from page 5 and we should be talking consistently about this issue and about how we can improve the campus climate,” Powers said. “Penn State has done a vast amount surrounding this issue, but more is needed and more can be done.”

IN CENTRE COUNTY, 65 farms are currently waiting to have their farmlands preserved to ensure the sustainability of agricultural in central Pennsylvania. Farm, from page 1 Pipe said. Municipalities, predominately Ferguson Township, have also given about $250,000 for these easement purchases, he added. “It’s great to know that this land will be here for other generations moving forward,” commissioner Chris Exarchos said. Bill Keough, who will soon step down from his position as chair of the Agricultural Land Preservation board, said that the days of farming are now seeing new faces with fresher ideas and practices. “We’re in a period of time now where we’re having a generational change,” Keough said. “We’re turning the farms over to a young generation of farmers who come in with a fuller plate, in many cases, than the farmers before them. They represent new thinking with regard to not only how to farm, but also what to farm.” Keough also said that the incorporation of technology that has been developed in the past 20 years has “elevated the knowledge base and productivity that is now possible with our younger generation of farmers.” Dairy farming, he said, has been declining in the county for quite some time. “With that, we’re seeing our younger farmers looking at a variety of new crop opportunities (and) a multiple year production out of their soils,” Keough said. “Certainly their marketing skills have been honed and continue to be honed with regard to the sale of these crops.” While he might not have a hand in it, Keough said that he hopes the county will someday be able to set up a bond issue, or “an ongoing legacy of dollars,” so that more farms can be preserved. “We have 65 farms on a waiting list,” he said. Due to unforeseen issues that require state and county dollars, this has not been able to happen yet.

Fifty years ago, President Lyndon Johnson launched the “War on Poverty,” an unprecedented federal effort to reduce the nation’s thenburgeoning poverty rate. “The war on poverty is not a struggle simply to support people, to make them dependent on the generosity of others,” Johnson told Congress in 1964. “It is a struggle to give people a chance.” But conservative critics argue that five decades and more than $22 trillion later, millions of Americans remain as dependent as ever, despite the controversial reforms of 1996 that required welfare recipients to work and placed lifetime limits on benefits. Has the U.S. lost the war on poverty? Or does the nation need to change tactics? Columnists Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk weigh in. One conservative complaint about the war on poverty — are we still calling it that? — is this: That the poverty rate, now around 14 percent, is little changed from a half-century ago. If anti-poverty programs work, shouldn’t that number be lower? It’s a critique that suggests everything else in American society has remained relatively static. That’s not true. For one thing, American workers aren’t getting paid like they used to. The 21st century has been one of stagnation for the middle class, with median salaries stuck near where they were way back in 2000. And it’s

Back in the dark ages when I was in college, female students at most colleges and universities, including mine, had what we called “hours.” If memory serves me correctly, at my school they had to be in their dormitories or sorority houses by 10:30 Sunday through Thursday and midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. That, of course, was before coed dorms and enlightened views about equal privileges between men and women, which, let me make clear, I support in nearly every instance. The theory for the women’s curfew was that while anyone with half a brain even then understood that women were generally smarter than men, they were vulnerable physically and subject to unfair assaults on their reputations if not their bodies. All this came to mind recently with the frightening disappearance of a young University of Virginia student, Hannah Graham, while out for a night of partying with friends. Videos show her wandering confused on a downtown street, a man following behind. It has been a scene repeated over and over on campuses or in college towns throughout the country. Each report of one heightens the stress on those of us who have daughters or granddaughters (as is my case) who have left the protective nest for the adventure of higher education. These events seldom end well and when added to the concern about

BEN BOYCHUK

Poverty isn’t the problem for the United States that it was when LBJ launched his war on poverty and

Great Society programs half-a-century ago. We worry more today about obesity than hunger among the poorest of our poor. And it’s a remarkable fact that the poorest 5 percent of Americans live better than the richest 5 percent of Indians. Yet the war on poverty has failed utterly, at least according to the standards Johnson set. One of the most liberal presidents of the 20th century claimed his anti-poverty program would actually shrink the welfare state. So much for that. Today, the federal government alone runs more than 80 meanstested welfare programs, providing everything from housing to food to health care at an annual cost of just under $950 billion. U.S. poverty programs are massive — and massively inefficient. A 2012 study by the Senate Budget Committee, for example, took the total spending on all of those means-tested programs and divided it by the number of U.S. households living below the official poverty line. It worked out to $168 per household per day. The average U.S. household lives on $137 per day. Something isn’t right. Many welfare recipients could work but don’t. The famous welfare reforms of 1996, which imposed time limits and work requirements on the old Aid to Families with Dependent Children program, didn’t touch other programs, such as food stamps. It should come as no surprise that those other programs have exploded — one in seven Americans receives food aid today — undercutting reform’s effects and discouraging employment.

the apparent mounting number of alleged rapes and assaults on college women, they have stimulated an intense dialogue all the way to the White House where the president just recently called for academia to clean up its act not only in prosecuting sexual assaults but safeguarding students in the first place. But how? Many of the victims are away from home for the first time and it is their natural inclination to take advantage of the situation. It certainly was for me. The problem is that there is no one around to make or prevent them from doing anything — study, drink, participate in dangerous sex, or even walk alone. They must rely on their own judgment reinforced by what they have been taught. The risk is increased exponentially by the easy access to liquor and drugs that stimulate the libido, including marijuana. Anyone who thinks campuses aren’t chocked full of date rape opportunities is living in a fantasy world. In fact, their naivety is monumental. No one wants to return to those days when the atmosphere for half the enrollment was akin to living in a nunnery. So what can these institutions do to prevent parents and grandparents from dissolving into ectoplasm every night their college kids don’t check in? Should they (we) demand beefed up security with limits on off-campus areas? In smaller towns should the colleges or universities subsidize local police to make sure that there are patrols on the city

streets where students eat and drink and so forth? Some schools have intense courses on the responsibilities of students in this whole matter. They should be mandatory. All these questions and dozens more need to be asked and a way found to minimize the dangers as much as possible in this increasingly violent world. The sight of the hundreds of Virginia students holding a candlelight vigil for Hannah Graham is way too often repeated across this nation. I remember my telephone ringing one night at 11 p.m. My college senior son was somewhat frantic that he could not find his sophomore sister who was attending another institution. I told him she was at school. “It is now 11 and she isn’t in her dorm,” he said. I informed him her school was in a time zone that was an hour behind where he was. Promptly at midnight the phone rang again and he announced that he had just called her and she was OK in her room. While I laughed about it at the time, I was enormously proud of his concern, one he is now showing for his daughter who is a freshman at a major university. It would be utterly insensitive to the inequities women still face to even suggest that we could turn back the clock to those days when as college students they were treated as little girls to be tucked in by a certain hour. But whatever else we can do to prevent what might have befallen Hannah Graham and so many others we should try.

harder now for a family to maintain its middle-class status than ever: The phenomenon of two working parents isn’t just a result of feminism — it’s also been a requirement for families that have wanted to keep from falling behind, economically. The American dream just isn’t as robust as it used to be. That’s not the fault of anti-poverty programs. What’s more, as The New Republic points out, anti-poverty programs have had notable successes. Food stamps have reduced child poverty from 21 to 18 percent. Social Security and Medicare have reduced poverty among America’s seniors from 65.3 percent in 1965 to 20 percent today. If your grandparents aren’t hungry, sick and bankrupt, they probably have the federal government to thank. Conservatives can’t quite bring themselves to admit these successes. Tellingly, though, nobody’s calling for children and old people to get off the government dole and get a job. And conservatives have what to offer as an alternative? They say that antipoverty programs discourage work, yet they also mock and despise fast food workers who seek a sustainable $15-an-hour wage for their efforts. Which leaves conservatives in the precarious position, essentially, of holding that neither the public sector nor the private sector should help people help themselves out of poverty. What’s left?

Schools need to protect college women By DAN K. THOMASSON

Do U.S. retailers get it? Do they understand the need to move more rapidly toward chip-and-PIN technology? If they didn’t understand before, they should now in light of the massive data breach at Home Depot. Speeding up the transition from old magnetic strip cards is particularly urgent after millions of debit and credit card numbers were stolen by cyber thieves from the company and offered for sale on an underground website for a combined asking price of more than $8 million. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporters were able to gain access to this black market in less than a minute — it’s the same nefarious group that sold millions of card numbers pilfered from Target last year. Cards embedded with a data chip, already widely in use in Europe and Canada, might thwart such attacks. Many Americans already carry the new cards, but many retailers don’t yet have the technology that allows them to be used. New credit card standards go into effect in October 2015 that should push most retailers to take the step, but in light of the recent cyber terrorism, that strikes us as far too slow. Retailers should move now to accommodate the safer cards. Target is spending $100 million on cyber security, Bloomberg reports, including loading its own credit cards with “chip-and-PIN” technology. When a consumer swipes a traditional card, information on the magnetic strip is downloaded into a retailer’s computer system. When a chip-and-PIN card is swiped, the consumer also must enter a PIN to complete the purchase. Experts say that cards with chips are harder to copy than cards with magnetic strips. Though chip-enabled cards are considered safer than the old magnetic strip technology, thieves, like viruses, will adapt. But chip-and-PIN cards make it harder for criminals to operate; retailers should make it as hard as possible. And the massive data breaches at Target and Home Depot should prompt them to move faster to protect consumers — and themselves — from the contagion of cyber theft.

Identifying teen alcohol and drug abuse HERSHEY â&#x20AC;&#x201D;The number of teens who abuse tobacco, alcohol, drugs and other substances hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed much in the past couple of decades â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but for those who are prone to addiction for one reason or another, the menu of substances to choose from is larger than ever. Parents have to educate themselves about more than simply cigarettes, pot and other street drugs. These days, those who fall into addiction can do so using cough syrup, alcoholic energy drinks or family membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; prescription medications. Creatively-named concoctions such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;K2â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spiceâ&#x20AC;? and bath salts with appealing monikers like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ivory Snowâ&#x20AC;? continue to surface. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You push down one drug and then another comes up,â&#x20AC;? said William Milchak, an addictions counselor at Penn State Hershey. Social media and access to the Internet for drug purchases might have something to do with that. Instead of meeting a drug dealer on a shady street corner, teens are getting their fixes from the home medicine cabinet, the corner drugstore or online peddlers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think parents really have to educate themselves about what these drugs are, how they come, who is using them and what to look for,â&#x20AC;? Milchak said. Experts agree that the following could be signs that a teen is involved in substance abuse: n Missing money or medications n Using mints, mouthwash and room deodorizers more than usual

n Changes in appetite or sleep habits n A new set of friends n Problems at school â&#x20AC;&#x201D; either with behavior or academics n Withdrawal from social activities Of course, some of that could just be typical adolescent behavior. The key, Milchak said, is for parents to trust their instincts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know your kid better than anyone. If you sense something is wrong, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just write it off â&#x20AC;&#x201D; err on the side of safety and do the hard things.â&#x20AC;? Seeking help for your teen doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean you must be a bad parent. Often, addictions have a genetic link. If someone in your family has â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or had â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a problem with any type of substance abuse, your children are four to five times more likely to become addicted to something. Substance abuse might also be the result of underlying problems such as low self-esteem, depression or anxiety. Studies have also shown that children introduced to addictive substances before age 18 or 21 are more likely to become addicted to something than those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink or try addictive substances until later in life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Age is really important, as are genetics,â&#x20AC;? Milchak said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the way it works.â&#x20AC;? If you suspect your teen is abusing any substance, call a school counselor, pediatrician or any of a number of hotline numbers that can be found on the Internet.

PARENTS SHOULD educate themselves about a variety of abusive substances, and watch for signs that their son or daughter might be using drugs or drinking alcohol.

Geisinger oncology program awarded $4.4 million grant DANVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Geisinger Health System has been named one of 53 grant recipients nationwide that will participate in clinical research programs organized by the National Cancer Institute. Geisingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grant totals $4.4 million and will fund the gathering, processing and analysis of data for NCI clinical trials, including the enrollment of local central Pennsylvania cancer patients into innovative clinical trials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While being selected for this national research initiative along with some of the most esteemed health care providers in the country is certainly an honor, the truly exciting part of joining in this national research will be the availability of the latest cancer clinical trials for patients right here in central and northeastern Pennsylvania,â&#x20AC;? said Edward Gorak, principal investigator for Geisinger Clinical Oncology Research Program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has long been Geisingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

goal to bring the most sophisticated care close to our patients and this grant aids us in accomplishing just that for our patients with cancer.â&#x20AC;? A total of $93 million worth of grants were awarded as part of the NCIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Community Oncology Research Program, which is a national network of investigators, cancer care providers, academic institutions and other organizations that provide care to diverse populations in communitybased health care practices across the United States. As part of the five-year program, NCORP participants will assist in designing and conducting trials to improve cancer prevention, cancer control, screening and posttreatment management. The new program will have an expanded portfolio of clinical trials and other studies, including an emphasis on cancer care delivery research. Cancer care delivery research within NCORP focuses on diverse and multi-level factors, such as social, financing systems, process, technology and others that affect access to and quality of care in the community. NCORP grants were awarded in three categories. Geis-

inger was one of 34 community sites selected for the clinical trial research and only one of two sites in Pennsylvania. NCORP also selected seven research bases and 12 minority/underserved community sites. Geisingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role as a community site will involve the accrual of participants to NCORP clinical trials, including treatment and imaging trials, quality of life studies and cancer care delivery research. Geisinger Health System currently participates in approximately 90 oncology clinical trials at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Wilkes-Barre, Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Geisinger Medical Center-Hazleton Cancer Center, Geisinger Scenery Park in State College, Geisinger-Lewistown Hospital and Geisinger Medical Oncology in Pottsville. Patients from these locations will have the opportunity to be enrolled in the NCORP clinical trials. Interested patients can speak with their physician or call (800) 275-6401 to request an appointment for the NCORP trials or any others available through Geisinger Health System.

at Geisinger. The portability allows the psychiatric team to take devices to specialty and outreach clinics and not have to rely on existing test kits which cannot be removed from the main clinic in the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospital. The electronic testing eliminates the need for paper record forms, which not only helps with storage problems for the department, but also eliminates a significant expense, according to Hoover. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The program also allows for automated scoring, which decreases the amount of time residents and I need to spend hand-scoring tests,â&#x20AC;?

For an aspiring aerospace engineer, the sky’s the limit By CURTIS CHAN Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — It was the gold visors on astronauts’ helmets that initially drew sophomore Jason Cornelius into the aerospace engineering field. “When I was in seventh grade, my mom told me the gold visor on an astronaut helmet was worth a lot of money,” the Mountaintop native recalled. “I wanted to look it up.” Cornelius learned that gold is electroplated onto the inside of the visor to protect the astronaut’s eyes from solar radiation. And though the amount of gold wasn’t as much as his mother thought, Cornelius was hooked. “That’s what made me so interested.” The rising aerospace engineering sophomore spent this past summer working in the Vertical Lift Research Center of Excellence studying dynamic instability in the rotors used by helicopters. “It’s really finding ways to not hit the rotor’s instability range or developing new ways to damp it out,” he said. Cornelius explained that all rotorcraft can experience flutter in their rotors when they hit a certain speed. “If you stay at that speed, it will give the instability time to build upon itself, creating high stress that will lead to failure. So aircraft designers and pilots just avoid it. The aircraft’s rotation speed is chosen to stay away from instability.” Cornelius’s role in the lab centers on running instability experiments on a test stand in Engineering Unit C to match predicted outcomes. The work is more than just pure science and engineering, however. Cornelius said it also ties into a science, technology, engineering and mathematics outreach effort. Ed Smith, professor of aerospace engineering and the VLRCOE’s director, said reaching out to young people and

exposing them to the STEM fields is a major priority for his lab and the College of Engineering, including helping to develop an aerospace technical program at a high school in Bergen County, N.J. “Engaging, inspiring and educating the best and brightest has been a long-standing objective of the Penn State VLRCOE,” Smith said. “We have been working with K through 12 tour groups on campus, hosting Haunted Helicopter Labs and supporting indigenous STEM efforts in schools via outreach activities for 20 years. It is very rewarding work, and excellent training for our graduate students here at Penn State. They need to relate the high-tech subjects they are learning to wide audiences. It is a skill that will serve them well.” For Cornelius, the choice to spend his summer getting involved in his chosen vocation was a no-brainer. “If I stayed home after my first year at Penn State, I would be doing the same as everyone else and I didn’t want that,” he said. So, instead, Cornelius planned an extremely busy summer. After he finished the spring semester, he traveled to China to take part in an immersive month-long engineering design class. After he returned in early June, Cornelius began his research experience with Smith’s lab, putting in approximately 28 hours a week. The rest of his week was rounded out by serving as a teaching assistant in an engineering design course taught by Xinli Wu, assistant professor of engineering design, and a few hours a week volunteering with an experimental wind turbine project run by Dennis McLaughlin, professor of aerospace engineering. The Crestwood High School graduate said he was excited about his major as soon as he got to campus last fall,

After talking with the group’s president, he was directed to Ed Smith. “In the very first week, I asked Dr. Smith if I could get involved in the VLRCOE.” Smith said Cornelius could — but only if the Schreyer Scholar managed to do well in his classes during his first year at the university. “Jason showed a great deal of maturity and enthusiasm when he reached out to get involved with research activities,” Smith said. “The Schreyer Honors College has done well to develop and encourage outstanding students like him. We were able to make a plan for summer and beyond. Hopefully, Jason will continue to learn and contribute to our mission.”

Conservation association holds fundraising dinner By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — The Penns Valley Conservation Association sponsored a special dinner at the Hummingbird Room restaurant in Spring Mills on Sept. 14. The Hummingbird Room was opened in 1993 by Eric and Claudia Sarnow as a venue for gourmet dining in the area. It closed 10 years ago, but was reopened by the Sarnows for one night for this event. The 40 attendees at the dinner were selected by a bidding process. The meal followed an international theme, with foods prepared according to recipes from several different countries. Buffet stations with entrees, side dishes and desserts prepared in the culinary styles of India, France, Italy and North Africa were located in several rooms of the spacious Victorian home, with patrons moving through the stations on a global culinary tour. Most of the food served, including meat, vegetables, fruit and wine, was produced and donated by farms and businesses in the Penns Valley area. Live music was provided by Myra Sletson. PVCA member Willa Peterson said that this meal was the first fundraiser for the group this year.

“We decided to have a dinner and were looking for a caterer, and Claudia Sarnow offered the use of the Hummingbird Room,” she said. Andrea Ferich, CEO of the PVCA, explained some of the conservation-oriented work done by the group, noting that the organization serves as a steward of the Upper Penns Creek watershed and all its communities. It works to protect and conserve Penns Valley’s waters, farmlands, forests and cultural heritage. Ferich said the PVCA has protected 25,000 feet of streams with stream bank improvement, planted more than 21,000 trees and shrubs in Riparian buffers along the banks, and constructed many in-stream fish habitats in the area since the organization was formed 20 years ago. She said the PVCA recently received a $1.4 million government grant for stream restoration projects. She also noted that PVCA has hired 12 people to monitor the condition of Sinking Creek, which has been classified as an impaired waterway. Ferich said that nearly all the farms that donated food for the dinner are located within the boundaries of the Penns Creek Watershed.

SAM STITZER/For the Gazette

GUESTS ENJOYED an international-themed meal at the Hummingbird Room during a recent PVCA fundraiser. She also noted that for 12 years, the PVCA has sponsored an environmental education program in the Penns Valley Area School District. “Our high school students are trained in high-quality science

in restoring and monitoring the waterways,” said Ferich. She introduced Jade Cruz, a student at Penns Valley High School, who is serving as an intern with PVCA through its STREAM, or Science, Technology, Restoration, Engi-

neering, Art and Math, program. “Every second Saturday of every month the interns are involved in community education,” said Ferich. “Jade is trained in how to train members of the community in what we’re doing.”

Penns Valley students served locally sourced meal By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — When the students at Penns Valley Elementary and Intermediate School entered the lunchroom on Sept. 17, they might have been expecting their usual selection of food items. That day, however, the students were treated to a feast produced entirely from locally sourced foods. The event was first proposed in June by Ben Macneal, of Macneal Orchards and Sugarbush, and Tony Sapia, a manager of the Boalsburg Farmers Market and vendor at the Millheim market, to principal Kurt Nyquist, business manager Jef Wall and food service director Donna Greenland. The menu included chicken from Lyn Garling’s Over the Moon Farm and Bill Callahan’s Cow-a-Hen Farm, beef from Brian Futhey’s Stone Meadow Farm, whole grain biscuits from Tony Sapia’s Gemelli Bakery, apple cabbage slaw featuring apples from Macneal’s, red cabbage from Mike Arthur’s Tamarack Farm, green cabbage from Mark Ardry’s farm, peppers from John Eisenstein’s Jade Family Farm, peppers from Eric Stewart’s Clan Stewart Farm, and stewed greens from Eric Noel’s Eden View Foods. There was also an autumn harvest salad featuring beets from Jake and Sarah Ann

Stoltzfus’ Woodside Acres, cheesy corn risotto using corn from Way Fruit Farm, and pasta from Fasta & Ravioli Co. The meal was topped off with a warm dessert of apple maple granola crisp from local producers. The meal scored a hit with the students, according to Wall. “I had a teacher tell me that her students who never ate school lunches before were asking how to sign up for this lunch,” he said. It was reported that just 17 out of around 250 students at the school opted out of the day’s feast. Elaine McDonnell, from the nutrition department of Penn State, attended the lunch. She coordinates Project PA, a national initiative with Farm to School aimed toward integrating locally sourced foods into school lunches, as well as educating children regarding agriculture and food production. “Farm to School is a national initiative, but it’s a grass-roots effort, so each local community and school takes it on themselves to implement as they see is best for them,” McDonnell said. She also mentioned she was pleased by the high participation of the students for this meal. Wall said the meal cost the district more than it would have to serve its regular lunch — and the food service department

Snow Shoe hosts annual Fall Festival and Car Show By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SNOW SHOE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Snow Shoe Fall Festival and Car Show took place on Sept. 20 at Snow Shoe Park. The car show featured more than 100 cars, trucks and motorcycles, which were viewed by a steady stream of spectators throughout the day. A major eye-catcher at the show was a powder blue 1959 Pontiac Bonneville convertible, shown by John Keck, of Altoona. The big Bonneville measures more than 18 feet long and weighs in at about 4,200 pounds. It is equipped with a 389-cubicinch V-8 engine with Pontiacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tri-Power induction, featuring three carburetors and producing 345 horsepower. Keck said the car was originally sold in Claysburg, and that he found it with a $2,200 price tag in a used lot in Maryland in 1962. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just had to have it,â&#x20AC;? he said. He had the car repainted in the original factory light blue color and the interior was redone in the original two-tone blue color scheme. He said the car was used as a prototype for a die-cast model made by the Franklin Mint Company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They came out for a couple weeks and took pictures and measured everything to make the model,â&#x20AC;? Keck said. Phil Shaw, of West Decatur, showed a 1977 Honda CB750A motorcycle. This bike is one of very few models equipped with an

automatic transmission. It was produced for just two years in 1976 and 1977. Shawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Honda has 63,000 miles on the odometer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ride it a lot,â&#x20AC;? Shaw said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It had 30,000 miles on it when I bought it.â&#x20AC;? He also said the automatic transmission on the bike is very rugged and essentially a cut-down version of the transmission used on Hondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s automobiles. Sonny Taylor, of Philipsburg, showed a rare 1950 Chevy panel truck in the car show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It originally belonged to the Morningstar Bread Company in Philipsburg,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I bought it for $125 in 1974. It had lots of rust.â&#x20AC;? Taylor had found the truck abandoned, rusting and damaged by vandals. He got it running in 1975 and gave it a complete rebuild four years ago. The truckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interior features varnished hardwood flooring and benches with maroon-colored carpeted walls. The body was painted in white with black and maroon graphics. The original engine was replaced with a six-cylinder engine from a 1964 Chevrolet pickup truck. Scott and Amanda Panasiti, of Philipsburg, showed a white 1962 Chevy Bel Air hardtop. This car is a great example of Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early muscle cars before the days of Mustangs, Camaros and Firebirds. Muscle cars of that time were based on family-type cars, sparsely optioned with bench seat interiors, blackwall tires and â&#x20AC;&#x153;dog dishâ&#x20AC;? hubcaps, but with the biggest engine one

Curves fitness clubs aim to help women get healthy The State College and Bellefonte Curves locations are trying to help women change their lives by achieving better health. Curves International Inc. is the largest chain of fitness centers for women in the world and is famous for its 30-minute circuit, which works every major muscle group with strength training, cardio and stretching. According to Susan Hanna, who purchased these Curves franchises in 2011, the Curves Complete program, a fully integrated and personalized Connie Cousins weight loss and weight covers a wide management system, variety of events in consists of three parts Centre County for the Centre County — the Curves Fitness Gazette. Email her program, a customizat ccous67@gmail. able meal plan and com. one-on-one coaching and support. In order to be certifed as a Curves Complete coach, Hanna completed three Cleveland Clinic-backed courses. The Journal of the American Medical Association in 2013 stated that successful trials for weight loss “involved multipronged interventions involving dietary and exercise counseling and behavioral modification.” These are factors that the Curves Complete program follows. But to follow a program, a person must first make a commitment and, next, find a fitness routine that will work for her.

CONNIE COUSINS

In addition to Curves Complete, the new Curves Workouts with Jillian Michaels, of “The Biggest Loser,” are designed for women at every fitness level. With these workouts, which debuted in January, a client performs metabolic conditioning exercises between each of the machines within the Curves circuit — all within a 30-minute class. The machines are new upgrades since the partnering with Michaels. They are hydraulic and work different muscle groups. Michaels’ workouts are featured on large screen TVs and are set to upbeat music in every club. A Curves coach trained to deliver the moves is present in every facility to ensure safety and effectiveness. Hanna explained that the effectiveness of the Curves Complete program is enhanced by the body basics that were introduced with the Jillian Michaels branding. “The exercises, done between machines on yoga-type mats, tone and strengthen arms, abs and legs. For members who haven’t been in for awhile and aren’t familiar with them, the mats replaced the old recovery platforms used previously,” said Hanna. Computerized feedback keeps a person aware of her results. The workout routines are refreshed often so that they remain interesting and invigorating. To help with energy and vigor, Curves now carries meal, snack and dessert bars that can be incorporated into the Curves Fitness Meal Plan. The amount of protein in a person’s diet influences metabolic rate, which in turn can affect weight loss. The best time to deliver protein is immediately after exercise, according to research quoted in Curves’ literature. But, protein

AT CURVES, women of all ages can take part in Zumba exercise classes. at any time is a better snack than a sugarladen treat. The clubs also offer gluten-free bars. In addition to food items, Curves also offers a line of athletic wear and gear. Tshirts with high performance wicking offer a flattering fit, with stitching that is designed to contour. The clothes are functional and, after a workout, attractive enough to wear to coffee with a friend. Many women find Curves appealing because of the comfort factor. As Freya Phillips, who has been a Curves client since 2005, said: “There is a comfort level here among all women that you don’t see in other fitness clubs. The new body basics program hits the flexibility issue and helps with erectness.” Although Phillips was sitting with an orthopedic boot on her foot at Curves in State College, she said she could still do the

upper body toning while her leg healed. As a Zumba Gold Class was moving to a Latin beat, I asked Maria Foltz how long she had been coming to Curves. It turned out that she had been the manager there for 12 years and had only recently retired. She still comes daily to work out. She also spoke about the Body Basics program. “It’s about stretching and flexibility and everyone can benefit from that,” she said. There are other benefits, too, it seems. Janet Bamat, who has been working out at Curves since 2003, said, “I like the socialization. I come to de-stress.” According to Hanna, the Curves Corporation is community-minded, too, and wants to be a good neighbor. The local clubs promote fundraisers and causes that concern their members and will promote Breast Cancer Awareness in October.

Historic Penns Valley home monument dedicated By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — In 1774, Jacob Standford and his family built a log house along what is now Rimmey Road in Potter Township between Centre Hall and Boalsburg. The Standfords were some of the earliest settlers in Centre County, having immigrated from Germany. They farmed the land until one fateful day in May 1778, when warriors from the Leni Lenape tribe stealthily approached their home and ambushed and killed Standford, his wife and two daughters. (The Standford son’s life was spared and the youth was kidnapped by the warriors, probably to become a conscripted warrior for their tribe, as was the habit of that time. He later came back to Centre County, then settled in western Pennsylvania.) News of the massacre spread quickly to settlers in the area, which led to “The Great Runaway of 1778,” when fearful settlers left their farms to seek shelter a few miles away in Potter’s Fort (at Old Fort). Many later retreated eastward to Fort Augusta, along the Susquehanna River in Northumberland County. On Sept. 14, a group of people gathered on the lawn of the Standford house, which still stands after 240 years, for the dedication of a stone monument observing the massacre. The Bellefonte chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution sponsored the monument. They spent a decade raising funds to produce and were granted permission by the home’s current owners, Carol Caldwell and Sandy Alexander to install it.

The speaker for the dedication was DAR member and local historian LeDon Young. She opened her remarks by reminding the audience that Centre County was considered the frontier in the 1770s. “When you say frontier, most people think of John Wayne in a fort in Arizona, but in the 1700s the frontier was here,” she said. She also noted that the Revolutionary War was in progress in 1778, and one tactic of the British was to incite Native American tribesmen to harass and attack the Colonial settlers. This tactic is thought to be the motivation behind the massacre. Young said the DAR was proud and honored to be able to place the monument at the Standford house. “It is a great honor for us, whose veins carry the blood of American patriots, to be able to present this marker to Sandy and Carol. We are most grateful you are allowing us to do this, and may it stand in memory of those wonderful patriotic people,” said Young. DAR Regent Carol Corman made the formal dedication of the monument, placing a wreath on the front side and presenting Caldwell and Alexander with framed photos showing the house before and after its restoration in the 1970s. Caldwell and Alexander are continuing to restore the inside of the house. They are trying to achieve a more original Colonial appearance. “We filled about three dumpsters with sheetrock and old flooring,” said Alexander. The house was almost torn down in the

Millheim Oktoberfest set for Oct. 11 MILLHEIM —Elk Creek Cafe and Aleworks and the Millheim Business Community will host a festive celebration of the Millheim Fire Department’s community service with the second annual Oktoberfest celebration, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 11, at the fire hall grounds. “We really want our fire department to know how much Penns Valley appreciates their service to our community, “ said Tim Bowser, proprietor of Elk Creek. All proceeds from the event will go to Millheim Fire Company No. 1. This year’s event will feature Elk Creek Oktoberfest beer and German foods provided by Elk Creek, Penn College, Triple Creek Lodge and Central Pennsylvania Institute. And it wouldn’t be Oktoberfest without German music — in this case, the Little German Band, the Pleasant Valley Dancers and the Bavarian Stompers. The event will take place behind the

fire hall on North Street in downtown Millheim, and there will be plenty of free parking. To create a true Oktoberfest atmosphere, authentic Oktoberfest tables and benches have been purchased. These enable participants to “schunkeln” — sit close to one another, link arms, and swing and sway to the music, as is done in Bavaria. Many local folks will be breaking out their German regalia, and beer steins for the occasion will be on sale. Elk Creek is a local foods and craft beer brewpub located in downtown Millheim. The Millheim Business Community is a nonprofit organization that works to foster healthy economic and cultural development of Millheim and the Penns Valley region through community cooperation, entrepreneurial innovation and local governance. For more information, visit the group’s Facebook page.

THE STANDFORD HOUSE on Rimmey Road in Potter Township was the site of a 1778 massacre, which is now commemorated with a stone monument. early 1970s, but J. Marvin Lee, a local historian, discovered the logs behind its weathered clapboard siding. He uncovered the house’s past and persuaded its owners to let the historic house stand and to be restored. Lee’s daughter, Nancy Lee Stover, is a

DAR member. She is very proud of her father’s efforts and the work of the DAR in sponsoring the monument. Wooden plaques with the Standford house’s image are available for sale at the Penns Valley Historical Museum in Aaronsburg.

NORTHWESTERN AT PENN STATE n TIME: NOON n TV: BIG TEN NETWORK

READY FOR A

Undefeated Penn State set to face struggling Northwestern By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

The University of Massachusetts Minutemen proved to be the right opponent at just the right time for Penn State, who issued a 48-7 romp. The Nittany Lions were, of course, looking for their fourth win without a loss this season (done before halftime), but they were especially concentrating on improvements across the offensive line and in the running game. Until Sept. 20, Penn State coach James Franklin reported steady, incremental improvements in the offensive line after each game. By comparison, the performance against UMass was a quantum leap forward. Against the Minutemen, Penn State gained more yards rushing in the first half than it did in any of the previous three full games. The Lions scored five rushing touchdowns, and all three running backs — Bill Belton, Zach Zwinak and Akeel Lynch — hit pay dirt. The pass protection for both quarterbacks was good, and even though Penn State did not get a huge push straight ahead, the blocking on the edges was outstanding. And with the one-sided score, lots of Olinemen saw playing time and got valuable game experience. This kind of progress will have to continue against Northwestern, the Saturday, Sept. 27, homecoming opponent at Beaver Stadium. The Wildcats are 1-2 coming into their Big Ten opener after a 24-7 win over Western Illinois, and if there has been one consistent bright spot for Northwestern this season, it has been the play of its defensive front. The Wildcats allowed Western Illinois only 84 yards rushing on 36 attempts, had four sacks and forced four fumbles, and generally spent the afternoon in their backfield, something Western Illinois head coach Bob Neilson took notice of. “I think (Northwestern’s) front four is

the strength of their defense,” he said. “They’ve got big, physical, experienced guys that do a good job rushing the quarterback. And we have two tackles who are playing some of their first football at this level. “We knew that was going to be a struggle. We got ourselves into situations where they knew we had to throw, and we had to throw. That allowed them to pin their ears back and really get after the quarterback, and they are good enough players that when they can be one-dimensional like that they’re going to cause issues for a lot of teams, especially one with a couple tackles that are gaining experience each week.” Like Penn State. Look out especially for defensive tackles Dean Lowery and Chance Carter, who have 18 tackles and three sacks in the first three games. On the other side of the ball, Northwestern started to get its act together with the help of two newcomers — freshman running backs Justin Jackson and Solomon Vault. The pair rushed for a combined total of 125 of the Wildcat’s 180 yards rushing and three touchdowns in the Western Illinois game, and Jackson is the team’s rushing leader after three games with 186 yards. “Class of 2018 was awesome to see,” Northwestern head coach Pat Fitzgerald said.

“I think Trevor (Siemian) is pretty close to being healthy,” he said. “We were 15 of 25. We have been a different wide receiver unit every week it seems like, since about midway through camp. I don’t think there is enough trust and continuity in that group. “There are a lot of things we have been working in practice, but obviously we are not there yet. The drops were down. The effort level was better. I think there is some room that we will feel good about, but at the same time there is a ton of room for improvement.” Siemian, this season, has run the ball 17 times for 37 yards, and therein lays the rub. The Wildcats have traditionally relied on slippery, running quarterbacks who added an extra dimension to their running game. Siemian does not seem like that kind of player, and he has to rely on his backs to do the heavy lifting. This could play into the hands of Penn State’s terrific run defense. In all, Fitzgerald was pleased with his team last week, but he knows there’s work to do. “From the standpoint of where we are at — obviously, to get a win is great,” he said. “I saw a lot of improvement in some areas and a lot of room for it in others. That will continue to be our focus as we move forward to get ready for Big Ten play here in a week against an outstanding football team. We have to continue to accelerate the growth of this team in all three phases. Practices have helped but we are far from where we need to be.” So, cue the broken record,

PENN STATE tight end Jesse James had two catches for 26 yards during the UMass game. He’ll be a key target for sophomore QB Christian Hackenberg when the Nittany Lions face Northwestern on Sept. 27.

“We will be back here in a couple weeks, and all the students will be here for that. It will be fun to see.” Northwestern’s offense is directed by quarterback Trevor Siemian. Siemian has completed 65 of 110 passes this season for 614 yards (204 yards per game) and two touchdowns. He’s been intercepted three times. According to Fitzgerald, though, the Northwestern passing game is still a work in progress.

this game could come down to the play of Penn State’s improving offensive line versus the imposing front of Northwestern. If Northwestern gives up yards and the Nittany Lion’s running game can keep the Wildcats honest at all, Hackenberg and the Penn State offense will be able to put up points. Kickoff is set for noon.

The good, the bad and the ugly UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State saw everything come together on the afternoon of Sept. 20 against UMass. After a sluggish start, the Nittany Lions clicked on all cylinders in a 48-7 drubbing of the Minutemen. There was plenty of good, plenty of bad and even a little ugly. n The Good — The ground game. Penn State finally got its ground game untracked. Akeel Lynch led the Nittany Lions with 81 yards and Bill Belton added 76 in the lopsided win. It was a muchneeded shot in the arm for the Lions, who had struggled running the football over the first three weeks of the season. Even though it came against a cast of no-names, we’ll take it. It’s a good sign for the Lions, who will need to run the ball to take the pressure off Christian Hackenberg. n The Bad — Hack’s slow start. The sophomore signal caller struggled early before getting his game together. He finished the afternoon connecting on 12-of-23 for 179 yards. He did not, however, throw a touchdown pass and was sacked twice. He’ll need to be better in the coming weeks if the Lions are going to make a run at the Big Ten title. n The Ugly — UMass. Simply put, there is no way the Minutemen should be on the hallowed ground at Beaver Stadium. We realize that filling the schedule is a daunting task, but there has to be a better choice than UMass. Here’s hoping that new athletic director Sandy Barbour fills the schedule with better opponents in the future. Perhaps then, head coach James Franklin will get the 107,00 fannies in the seats that he so desires. — Chris Morelli

PSU grades well following drubbing of UMass By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State players didn’t create the schedule, so you can’t hold it against them when they perform well against a bad team. While the 48-7 victory may have been in the cards before the game ever started, there is still plenty of good and bad to take away from the Sept. 20 lopsided win.

OFFENSE: A

Christian Hackenberg had a bumpy start to the game, going 3-of-10 before going 9-of-13 to finish off his day. Early rough seas didn’t change the fact, though, that the Nittany Lions were overpowering the UMass defense by the end of the first quarter. Hackenberg finished with 179 yards, but only threw 23 passes over the span of what was essentially two quarters of playing time. More importantly for Penn State, it was the running game that got the job done, with Bill Belton and Zach Zwinak both picking up two scores. Akeel Lynch added a touchdown of his own, and the team total of 228 yards rushing was a welcome sight for James Franklin and company. Geno Lewis made a few nice catches as well. Penn State’s clean-up crew of secondand third-string players looked strong, too, and deserve credit for extending the score

and keeping UMass off the board, aside from one 77-yard strike. D.J. Crook added his name to the score sheet with a passing touchdown. Penn State’s offense still had to go out and execute on Saturday, and it did just that. Even against a lesser opponent, that still counts for something. Standout player: Bill Belton, with seven carries, 76 yards and two TDs.

DEFENSE: A+

There were only 3 yards allowed on the ground all game and fewer than 200 yards passing when the starters were on the field. Penn State may have been the superior team by a wide margin, but the players still showed up and played tough. Three sacks by three different players and 10 tackles for a loss highlighted a strong outing by a Mike Hull-led unit. UMass’ general struggles and self-inflicted wounds may have made things easier on the defense, but the Nittany Lions made big plays just about every time they had a chance. UMass went 3-of-13 on third downs, which only added to the Minutemen’s issues. Standout player: Austin Johnson, with one tackle for a loss, one fumble recovery and one pass deflection.

Chris Gulla only punted once, and while the return unit didn’t do anything special, it didn’t make any mistakes — and, that’s really all Franklin is

asking for. Ficken regularly drove kickoffs out of the end zone for touchbacks, which will be a more valuable asset against better teams as the season progresses. Standout player: Sam Ficken, with two field goals and only one kickoff returned.

Beaver Stadium crowds nearly at 100,000 mark By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Probably one of the most amazing things about Penn State football, while under the bowl ban, is the fact that so many people still came to the games. Sure, you love Penn State. There is just an unbelievable surplus of blue-and-white blood running through you. It doesn’t

matter what everyone else thinks, you’re here for your school. And that’s all fine and dandy, but everybody knows it costs hundreds of dollars to visit State College for a day or a weekend. Considering that Penn State wasn’t playing for anything other than pride — which is admirable in and of itself — you still might be excused for making an investment in a new TV rather than a new RV. Certainly the attendance decline —

High Deductibles Just Got Higher!

So far in 2014, Penn State’s two home games have nearly hit the 100,000 mark. That’s a mark that has been basically unheard of since 2010 when Penn State hosted more than 100K at every single home game. A total of 97,354 fans showed up for Akron. An impressive crowd of 99,155 came to see Penn State play a game against UMass that the Nittany Lions basically won at the opening kick. The UMass game was, in fact, the largest non-conference crowd since Penn State hosted Alabama in 2011. Penn State’s new variable pricing program is only helping people find their way back to Happy Valley for the game. PSU being undefeated doesn’t hurt.

Franklin wary of Northwestern By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Speaking during his weekly press conference at Beaver Stadium on Sept. 23, Penn State head coach James Franklin expressed wariness about upcoming foe Northwestern. For Northwestern, 1-2 and playing its opening Big Ten game of the season, the task is to upset what Wildcat head coach Pat Fitzgerald called, “a quality football team,” in undefeated Penn State on Saturday, Sept. 27. But, Franklin is more than aware of the capabilities of the Wildcats, a team that Penn State did not play last season. “The Wildcats returned 15 of 22 starters

which still found Penn State ranked in the Top 5 nationally — had a lot to do with the scandal and the fact that people were angry and the fact that the super-popular STEP ticketing program existed. But, it’s hard to imagine only 95,769 coming to a homecoming game in 2012 if there was a bowl at the end of the tunnel, even with a 3-2 record. In fact, 2012 is the only homecoming game since Beaver Stadium expanded that has had fewer than 100,000 in attendance. Last week, Penn State’s board of trustees noted that, in order to make up for lost profits and an athletic department in debt, one solution could be to raise ticket prices. But, that’s assuming attendance doesn’t rise all on its own.

from last season,” he said. “Their defense, they have eight starters who are juniors or seniors, a veteran defense. Fundamentally sound, in many ways similar to us. “One of the things we have to be aware of and do a good job with is they are a no-huddle, up-tempo offense that has a lot of communication at the line of scrimmage. They have a really good idea of who they are and what they want to do with the ball.” With the up-tempo offense run by senior quarterback Trevor Siemian with two new freshmen runners in Justin Jackson and Solomon Vault, the Penn State defense will be tested. The Lions, according to Franklin, are focused on the Wildcats and will be ready.

Impressive outing

State High throttles Carlisle to get back on winning track, 37-8 By MATT ALLIBONE StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — The State College High football team got things going much quicker this week. A week after a slow start led to a 14-0 deficit and eventual loss to Martinsburg, the Little Lions came out of the gates much more quickly against Carlisle on Sept. 19, turning a 23-0 halftime lead into an eventual 37-8 victory. “(Getting off to a fast start) was huge,” State College head coach Matt Lintal said afterward. “It set the tone for the game and got the energy and the juices going.” Starting their first drive at their own 49-yard line after forcing a Carlisle threeand-out, the Little Lions took immediate advantage of the great field position. An 11-yard reception by running back Jordan Misher and a 14-yard scramble from quarterback John Weakland moved the ball into Carlisle territory. The Lions had a brief scare when Weakland needed to be helped off the field after sustaining a minor knee injury, but the quarterback returned after one play and Misher took a draw 6 yards into the end zone to put State College on the board 7-0. Soon after, the Little Lions defense joined in on the scoring party, as Stan Martin and Lonnie Koudela dropped Thundering Herd running back Tyler Greene behind the goal line for a safety. Looking to expand their lead even more, the Little Lions nearly faltered on the next drive, as they faced a third-and-17 in their own end. At that point, Weakland would take

over, hitting tight end Brett Graham with a 20-yard pass that seemed to break Carlisle’s back. A few plays later, the senior quarterback worked his magic again, rushing 23 yards for a touchdown and a 16-0 lead. “That play (to Graham) was a huge play,” Lintal said. “We knew everybody had their eyes on Jordan thinking it would be a screen pass, and Brett made a nice play and made a nice run after the catch.” The Little Lions would strike once more before halftime, as wide receiver Kellin Valentine broke off a long punt return and then immediately caught a 13-yard reception that led to a short touchdown pass from Weakland to Graham. Despite the nearly flawless first half, State College looked surprisingly flat after halftime. The Lions were unable to generate offense for most of the third quarter and allowed Carlisle to get on the board with a touchdown pass and two-point conversion that made it 23-8 five minutes into the third quarter. Both teams missed numerous opportunities, and the score remained the same heading into the fourth. Two minutes into the final quarter, Misher put to rest any doubt about which team would win, breaking off a thrilling 26-yard run in which he narrowly escaped being tackled in the backfield to make the score 30-8. Charles Riley would later add a 5-yard score on the ground to ice the win. “There’s such a trust level with Jordan running the football,” Lintal said. “Even when I don’t make the best play call he makes me look like a great coach.” While Misher was impressive once

STATE COLLEGE’S Jordan Misher had another big night as the Little Lions rolled to a 37-8 victory over Carlisle. again, it was the State College defense that truly left its mark, hammering Thundering Herd quarterback Billy Burger all night and never allowing him to get into a rhythm. “Really proud of the play of our defense pitching a shutout there in the first half,”

Lintal said. “Controlling those skill players is not an easy task and our guys did a nice job playing team defense.” The Little Lions are back on the road Friday, Sept. 26, when they take on Chambersburg at 7 p.m.

High school football: Teams reach the midway point By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

It’s Week 5. As hard as it is to believe, we’re at the midpoint of the high school football season. Here’s a closer look at the area games this week:

STATE COLLEGE (2-2) AT CHAMBERSBURG (0-4)

The fire-tested State College Little Lions opened their Mid-Penn Conference season with a 37-8 trouncing of Carlisle on Sept. 19 at Memorial Stadium. The Little Lions pretty much saw everything in their three tough pre-conference games against Spring Ford, Bishop McDevitt and Martinsburg, W.Va., and they showed that they were more than ready for conference play against Carlisle. On Friday, Sept. 26, State High travels to Chambersburg to take on the Trojans, who, quite frankly, are struggling. Chambersburg is 0-4 so far this season after a 45-0 loss to powerful Central Dauphin in its Week 4 Mid-Penn opener. The Trojans hung tough in the early stages of that game, but from the midpoint in the second quarter on, it was all Central Dauphin. Chambersburg had negative yardage in the second half. Chambersburg has a solid defense after returning most of its defensive line and linebackers from last season, but its offense has yet to mesh. The Trojans had only 67 yards total against Central Dauphin. Hunter Leedy is the quarterback, and after going 4-5 to start the game against Central Dauphin, he didn’t complete a pass the rest of the night. Darius Johnson, Carter Edmundson and Zach High are the running backs, while Johnson and Edmundson are threats to catch the ball out of the backfield. The Little Lions played a complete game against Carlisle — on defense, offense and special teams — which led to a giant 349 to 112 advantage in total yards for the night. Jordan Misher and John Weakland lead the State High

attack, with the Little Lions proving they can move the ball and put up points. Chambersburg coach Mark Saunders feels that his team can still turn its fortunes around, but State College will not be an easy team to revive itself against.

BALD EAGLE AREA (1-3) AT CENTRAL (3-1)

Bald Eagle Area’s downward spiral continued in Week 4’s 26-0 loss to Chestnut Ridge. And, the Eagles don’t have to look very hard to find the reasons behind their slide: They had another five turnovers and six penalties in the loss to Chestnut Ridge. It is difficult to gain any kind of momentum when your drives are stopped by turnovers and penalties, and that showed up on the scoreboard. BEA had 151 yards of offense and no points. Now it’s 3-1 Central, always one of the toughest Mountain League teams, looming on Friday, Sept. 26. The Dragons are 3-1, with their only loss coming late to unbeaten Tyrone. On Sept. 19, they withstood a furious first quarter by Penns Valley and wore down the Rams in a 41-12 win. Senior Mike Mock and junior Noah Benton share the quarterbacking duties for Central. Together, they have completed 40 of 76 passes for 684 yards and 11 touchdowns. Mock also leads the team in rushing, with 184 yards and two scores, while sophomore Alex Hoenstine added 138 yards and three scores. Justin Helsel, Hoenstine and John Knepp are the leading receivers. For BEA, the task in this game is simple yet imperative — limit the mistakes.

This week’s games

Huntingdon comes into Penns Valley with a 1-3 record and consecutive losses to two of the best teams around — Tyrone and Clearfield. The Bearcats beat Bellefonte, 28-20, in a thrilling Week 2 game, and they are looking to even their Mountain League record at 2-2. So is Penns Valley. The Rams will have to especially watch out for Huntingdon tailback Jon Wagner, who is the team’s leading rusher (322 yards, four touchdowns) and kick returner (254 yards). Wagner has a total of 631 all-purpose yards this season. Huntingdon averages 178 yards of offense each game, and is led in scoring by Wagner (12.0 points per game). Penns Valley, 1-3 and also with a big win over BEA, counters with athletic quarterback Ben Alexander (290 yards passing, 156 running) and running back Wyatt Sharp (213 yards). The Rams average just more than 200 yards of offense each game, but some mistakes have cost them in losses to Juniata, Clearfield and Central. And, mistakes will likely be a key — for one team or the other — during their Friday, Sept. 26, contest. Kickoff in Spring Mills is set for 7 p.m.

State College field hockey relying on teamwork, speed By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — A closer look at the 2014 State College Area High School field hockey squad: Coach — Chelsea Mearing. 2013 record — 8-10-0. Key losses — Summer Carson, Katherine Henry and Olivia Watkins. Key returnees — Paige Miley, Jenny Reinhart, Aiko DziKowski, Megan McCarthy and Shelby Querry. Strengths — Mearing thinks State High will benefit from a strong sense of togetherness and teamwork — and a lot of speed. “I think that already in the last two weeks, they’ve shown that they are a team,” Mearing said. “They are looking out for each other. We practice most of the time all together, and you can see them cheering each other on. “We’ve got a lot of team speed on the field so that’s something we could use more often and something that will help us during the season.” Concerns — Ball possession and turnovers. “I think that keeping possession of the ball is something we need to work on,”

Mearing said. “We sometimes are in panic mode and we give up the ball because the first defender come on us and we don’t know what to do, so we throw it off our stick. “That’s definitely something we are working on, and they know that we’ve been emphasizing not panicking and keeping possession.” Outlook — Being a first-year coach, Mearing is not sure about everything the team will encounter this year, but she likes what she sees so far. “I love their spirit,” she said. “Every time they step on the field you can tell that they love this game. And that is really cool because that is not in every program. They come out here with a smile on their face and willing to work hard. “Our goal is growth. We might not start off where we want to be, but I’m hoping to grow each game. “I’m hoping that every day they improve on those things that we focus on. I want them to constantly be growing. “And I know the Mid-Penn really and they are all tough teams, so we will have to step it up.” Circle these dates — vs. Mifflin County (Oct. 8).

BEA girls’ volleyball squad looks for continued success By CLAYTON SAUERTIEG correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

WINGATE — A closer look at the 2014 Bald Eagle Area High School girls’ volleyball team: Head coach — Lawrence Campbell, eighth season. Assistant coaches — Randy Holsopple and Karen Donmoyet. 2013 record — 14-5. Key losses — Courtney Fisher, Sarah Torres and Nicole Doroschenko. Key returnees — Jessica

Bressler, Tylor Yarrison, Hannah Park, Chelsea Eisenhuth, Jenny Zimmerman and Regan Dyke. Key newcomers — Vee Skripek, Katie Flick and Madi Hahn. Outlook — Last season, BEA finished second in the Mountain League and was seeded third for the district tournament. Senior Jessica Bressler returns to lead the Eagles. She was named First Team in the Mountain League and Second Team All-District. With solid leadership, the Eagles should be able to make a nice run this season.

*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.

Toftrees plays host to PGA Senior Tournament By JOHN DIXON sports@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Toftrees Golf Resort played host to the final stop on the 16-week trail of the North Central PGA Senior Tournament series. Seven Centre County golfers participated. “The event marks the finale of the 16-event tournament series,” said tour executive Joe Faust. “Merchandise prizes were awarded to the top finishers in each age group, as well as the leaders of the seasonal points race. The NCPGA is supported by Blaise Alexander Family Dealership, The GouldenTouch Foundation, Woodlands Bank and Jersey Shore State Bank. “The season-long points race came to a close with the event at Toftrees, as all players who earned enough points throughout the season to be in the top four competed for the points championship,” added Faust. Participants from Centre County included Richard Knepp, of Nittany Country Club, carding a 46-74, 93 in the 50- to 59-year-old-age bracket. In the 60- to 69-yearold age bracket, Terry Cooper, playing on his home turf, posted a 36-39, 75 to finish second, while Nittany Country Club’s Chuck Colyer went 42-40, 82 to place fifth. Thomas Morris, of Mountain View Country Club, shot a 46-39, 85 to

finish ninth. Also participating in the 60- to 69-year-old bracket was Darrell Early, of Mountain View, with 39-47, 86; Bob Stonebraker, of Mountain View, with 43-47, 90, and Ken Campbell, of Toftrees, with 44-48, 92. The NCPGA senior tournament series has seen its fair share of quality golf over the years, however, never before has there been a year so dominated by the representatives of one club. The Bucknell Golf Club has consistently seen its golfers atop the leaderboard in one or more divisions of the NCPGA senior circuit, and today was no different. For the third time this season, the four division winners represented the Lewisburg club. Al Kline Jr. found himself tied for first in the 50- to 59-year-old division with eventual seasonal points champion Randy Lynch, of Mill Race Golf Club. Both players carded 3-over-par 75s to finish six shots clear of their nearest competition, Bruce Hoover and Rick Everett, of White Deer and Belles Springs golf clubs, respectively. The 60s saw Tim Harpster make it a perfect six for six in victories as he carded an even-par 72. Harpster’s level round was enough to keep him three shots better than the host club’s Terry Cooper and his 76. A pair of 79s rounded out the top three places in the division as Bucknell’s Steve

Allen and David Maier posted identical rounds for third. Tom Egli’s 77 led the way in the 70- to 79-year-old division. Egli was pursued by a trio of Bucknellians, as Jim VanBuskirk posted an 80 for second place and eventual points champion Gary Fry and Marvin Reeves carded 82s in a tie for third with Nittany’s Colyer and Lost Creek’s Al Kline Sr. in the points race. Boyd Mertz continued his dominance of the 80-andolder division, posting a 93 and a seven-stroke victory over John Hirsch, of Eagles Mere Country Club.

COMING UP ACES

While the days of the golfing season are quickly dwindling, aces were flying fast and furious of late at the Mountain View Country Club golf course, with three holes-inone recorded recently. Matt Hagan aced No. 10, a 167-yard hole, using a 7-iron. The hole-in-one was witnessed by playing partners Tom Bruce, Dave Ellenberger and Dave Lingenfelter. Lois Frazier recorded a hole-in-one on No. 2, a 95-yard layout, using a driver. It was witnessed by Emily Anselmi, Bill Frazier and Shai McGowan. And, Dick Johnson posted a hole-in-one on No. 6, a 150-yard layout, using a 7-iron while playing with Fizz Riden, Tyler Martz and Bud Brenner.

‘Skate at State’ scheduled for Oct. 18 UNIVERSITY PARK — The Penn State Figure Skating Club and the Pegula Ice Arena will host “Skate at State” from 9 to 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 18, at the arena. The free event will provide a 30-minute group lesson to skaters of all ages and abilities. Following the group lesson, there will be a 15-minute open skate which will include a group photo and prize giveaways. During the lesson time, celebrity skaters from the Musselman’s Apple Sauce Family Skating Tribute Ice Show will float between groups to offer encouragement to the skaters. The event is sanctioned by U.S. Figure Skating. There is no prior registration for this event. Participants will be registered on a first-come, first-serve basis. Only 100 skaters will be allowed per session. Participants should come to Entrance C, the community rink. Registration begins at 8 a.m. and there are two lesson times available. The first session will run from 9 to 9:45 a.m. and the second session will run from 9:45 to 10:30 a.m. Midway, from page 20 For Philipsburg-Osceola, there was little to cheer about in its 42-3 loss to Tyrone on Sept. 19. Except, perhaps, the Mountie defense holding Tyrone to just seven points after halftime. And, P-O had 156 yards passing in the game. Quarterback Jake Anderson connected on 13 of 30 throws, mostly to Tyler Lamb (four for 82 yards), Derek Moore (three for 40) and Kyle Hawkins (3-22). More of that, some more running by Ty Laird, and a tightened run defense could get this game into the fourth quarter for the Mounties. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

‘O Beautiful’ looks at current state of public discourse By HARRY ZIMBLER For the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — “O Beautiful,” a play by Theresa Rebek, explores the state of political and social issues currently tearing at the fabric of American society. The play — the first producation of the 2014-2015 Penn State Centre Stage season — will run Tuesday, Oct. 7, through Saturday, Oct. 18, at the Playhouse Theatre on campus. Dan Carter, who directs the production, finds the play to be fascinating and provocative, a highly theatrical piece that is sure to stir emotions as it asks viewers to think. Carter discovered the play when he at-

IF YOU GO What: “O Beautiful” When: Oct. 7-18 Where: Penn State’s Playhouse Theatre Tickets: Available at the door or at www.theatre.psu.edu

tended a National Theatre Chair’s meeting. Membership in this group is limited to the top 16 theater programs in the United States. “The play was commissioned by the University of Delaware,” Carter said. “And I was familiar with Rebek’s work. She is a very prolific writer. Up until now, only the University of Illinois and the University of Connecticut have produced the show.” Rebek is known for creating and writing the television series “Smash.” After reading the script, Carter knew he wanted to direct it. “At first I thought it might be upsetting to local audiences. But now I think people are going to love it,” he said. “It’s a contemporary, realistic play that I have been working on for about a year. I am so thrilled, every day, to go to rehearsal and see how smart the cast is and how much they bring to the work.” Carter describes the play as funny, poignant, sad and upsetting at times. “What more can you expect from a theatrical experience?” Carter asked. “This play is going to grab the audiences’ emotions and give them a lot to think about.”

“O Beautiful” is about a community of four families that include parents and children. The characters are confronted with all the joys and challenges of being a part of a family. “What I like about this play is that it doesn’t take sides,” said Carter. “It doesn’t dismiss opposing points of view. It takes a look at the impact that the national media has on a community. “There are interviews with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Patrick Henry and John Adams,” Carter said. “And Jesus is a major character in the play. “It’s is really funny and interesting. The play culminates in a town meeting that is anything but civil.” “O Beautiful” is filled with big ideas, characters that everyone knows and a variety of hot button issues. Carter describes it as whimsical, with a story worth telling. “It’s not preachy. Nor is it pedantic. It does not presume to offer simple answers to complex issues,” Carter said. “My job, as director, is to push the envelope. I embrace the irreverence. It has an important function in the play and society.”

Singer-songwriter Case to open Dear Hero Program begins Oct. 8 Acoustic Brew Concert Series season LEMONT — Peter Case’s influences are as wide-ranging as the concerts he performs. The nationally-known singer, songwriter and teacher will kick off the fall 2014 season of the Acoustic Brew Concert Series at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 4, at the Center for Well-Being in Lemont. Case has been touring and performing guitar workshops for nearly 30 years. His albums range from folk to rock to New Wave and everything in between. “I’m trying to forge my own style out of inherited materials,” Case said. “I’ve always been into dynamic emotionally charged music you could use to tell a story

or paint a picture.” Case’s career began in San Francisco with bands The Nerves and The Plimsouls and eventually evolved into solo work when those groups disbanded. His records have been produced by TBone Burnett and collaborators include John Hiatt and Van Dyke Parks.

UNIVERSITY PARK — The Dear Hero Program, a Penn State undergraduate student organization devoted to raising the morale of deployed troops and wounded veterans, will collect donated items for military personnel care packages from Wednesday, Oct. 8, to Wednesday, Oct. 29, at Eisenhower Auditorium. The girlfriend of a U.S. Marine, who realized when he served in Afghanistan that many of his fellow Marines didn’t receive letters from home, founded the Dear Hero Program. Through the program, letters and care packages are sent from veterans, ROTC members, students, family, friends and others to troops serving overseas. The program has also helped members of the community to become trained volunteers at the James E. Van Zandt VA Medical Center in Altoona. Donated items for the care packages may be dropped off at Eisenhower lobby collection bins during regular weekday business hours, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or when patrons attend events at Eisenhower.

New photography company celebrates launch STATE COLLEGE — A new photography company, lux&umbra, recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the New Leaf Initiative facility in the State College Municipal Building. “I’m excited to be serving the State College community as a freelance photographer with my business, lux&umbra photography, which translates to ‘light and dark’ in Latin,” said Shannon Brace. “This ribbon cutting celebrates all my supporters, models and fellow photographers who have helped advance my skills as a young professional.” Brace photographs for several State College area organizations and hopes to capture images for many more businesses and individuals as she grows her portrait photography business. She also captures life in the region through her “Project Happy Valley” album, which can be seen at the company’s Facebook page, www. facebook.com/luxandumbra. Maria Spencer, Penn State Small Busi-

ness Development Center consultant, encourages everyone to view and enjoy Project Happy Valley. “Shannon is a really talented and creative photographer, and lux&umbra is a great addition to our small business community,” Spencer said. During the ceremony at the New Leaf office, a lux&umbra gallery included senior portraits, engagement photos, product photos and art shots. A “selfie” station with costume props was set up for guests to interact with, and raffle prizes were given out after the ceremonial ribbon cutting. Brace has six years’ experience in portraiture and event and product photography, and has photographed for clubs at Penn State, the Centre for American Literary Studies, New Leaf Initiative and the Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County. She has a bachelor’s degree in English with a minor in business from Penn State University.

Aerospace engineering graduate named to ‘Top 40 Under Forty’ UNIVERSITY PARK — Ryan Rudy, a 2002 Penn State aerospace engineering graduate, has been named one of Aviation Week’s “Top 40 Under Forty.” The magazine noted that these top industry talents “are technically superb, exhibit strong leadership skills and possess a smart and fearless approach to business.” A flight test engineer at Boeing Test and Evaluation in St. Louis, Rudy develops and executes aircraft testing for the F-15 Saudi Advanced program. He joined Boeing in 2001, when he completed an in-

ternship as a system safety engineer on the RAH-66 Comanche. Rudy held the same role from 2002 to 2005 on the V-22 Osprey aircraft during its Return to Flight program. His efforts focused on ensuring the safety of flight controls, autopilot and mission systems software.

In 2005, Rudy moved to Seattle and was a systems engineer with Boeing Commercial Airplanes. He focused on requirements management and coordinated changes to Top 40, Page 30

balance matters Having tHe rigHt work/life mix is important to me. As a business owner and mother, balancing my work and personal life can be stressful. Luckily, I found Kish Bank—a family-oriented partner who understands my challenges and supports my passion for inspiring others. Because Kish makes managing my finances so easy, I have more time with my daughters and can teach local youth the importance of health and fitness. Balance in my life matters to me.

Ding co-authors book on modern China UNIVERSITY PARK — “The Chinese Way,” a newly released book from Penn State Smeal College of Business professor of marketing and innovation Min Ding and Jie Xu, of Fudan University, explores modern-day Chinese culture from multiple angles, providing a deeper understanding of a complex society that is critically important to business in a globalized world. “English writer Alexander Pope once wrote, ‘A little learning is a dangerous thing,’” the authors wrote in the preface to “The Chinese Way.” “We paraphrase Pope’s statement as: ‘Dumbing down a complex subject is a dangerous thing.’ Teachers must bear responsibility when they simplify a complicated topic to the extent that superficial and distorted interpretations are all but guaranteed.” To prevent oversimplification, Ding and Xu relied on both comprehensiveness and descriptiveness to tell the story of the Chinese way of life around the year 2014 or as they refer to it: CWOL v2014. The authors collected firsthand personal stories and perspectives from nearly 1,000 highly successful Chinese citizens in aca-

demia, business and government. They also relied on extensive secondary data collection via public sources of information such as books, newspapers, magazines, blogs and social media. As a result of their research, Ding and Xu identified nine concepts that form the foundation of the modern Chinese way of life: doctrine of mean, tribalism, hierarchicalism, polymorphism, usefulism, emotionalism, wealthism, effortlessism and cynicism. The book addresses these concepts across 11 sections covering customs and traditions; social structure; marriage and family; needs, values and aspirations; worldview; religion and belief; arts and entertainment; governing system; economic system; education system; and communication system. “The subjects of the sections and chapters follow anthropological standards based on topics that would be studied in a newly identified culture,” wrote Ding and Xu. “This ensures that our descriptions of Chinese society to outsiders are as comprehensive as possible.”
