TAILGATE TIME: As students return to campus and Penn State football begins, police see a rise in alcohol-related crimes both on and off campus.
Culture of drinking affects entire State College community By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — The return of students to Penn State for the fall semester brings many things to State College: nervous freshman, proud parents, a sense of youthful energy — and the abuse of alcohol. For about the first eight weeks of class, university and local police see a spike in alcohol-related crimes: open containers, minors violations, noise complaints and more. Sgt. Frances Pollack of the Penn State police department said this early semester spike
happens every year as students explore the newfound sense of freedom that comes with being away from home for the first time. “Most students will have a few drinks and be OK, but we encounter the ones who don’t know their limits,” Pollack said. “These are the students who may be having alcohol overdoses, or were involved in some other alcoholrelated incident.” The incidents that involve alcohol are varied and pervasive. Pollack says roughly 43 percent of the crimes they deal with involve alcohol, which she admits may be a low estimate. Other
common crimes, such as theft, may be influenced by alcohol, but this is often difficult to confirm. State College Police Chief Tom King deals with similar issues, with approximately two-thirds of overnight calls during the semester involving alcohol as a factor. “We are careful not to say these crimes are caused by alcohol,” King said. “We are not making a causation argument. The use of alcohol is not an excuse for committing a crime.” The common crimes that King sees that involve alcohol include Drinking, Page 6

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

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

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State Police are looking for an unidentified male who was involved in an attempted sexual assault early Sunday morning. An out-of-town female visitor was walking near Beaver Stadium late Saturday night when an unknown man approached her and asked if she was OK, according to a news release from the police department. The man — who is described as a 19- or 20-year-old tall, skinny white male — then tried to take the victim’s clothes off. Ac-

cording to the release, she later woke up with her clothes off with no recollection of what happened, but the man was gone. Penn State Police say the man may still pose a threat to the community and recommend using caution when traveling at night. Walking with a friend and staying in only well-lit areas is recommended. Police are continuing the investigation, and are seeking information from the public. Submit information to the Centre County Crimestoppers by email at tip@ centrecountycrimestoppers.org, which may lead to up to a $1,000 reward if the information leads to an arrest.
STATE COLLEGE — The family of an assault victim is offering a $1,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest for an incident that left a teen seriously injured. The incident happened Aug. 27 during a party in the basement of the Delta Sigma fraternity in the 500 block of Locust Lane. Police say an unknown male hit a 19-year-old male in the face twice, which resulted in facial fractures and eye injuries.
Police say the victim was flown to UPMC Altoona then transferred to UPMC Presbyterian in Pittsburgh, where he underwent immediate surgery. Authorities described the suspect as a college-age white male, who is roughly 5-feet 8-inches tall and has “tousled” short, light brown hair, and was wearing a royal blue polo-style shirt at the time of the assault. Anyone with information can call the State College Police Department at (814) 234-7150.

Officials pass variety of community outreach contracts By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com
BELLEFONTE — As the Centre County board of commissioners approved or renewed a series of contracts for children and youth services, adult services and mental health/intellectual disabilities/early intervention, ranging from $500 to more than $1 million, at its meeting on Sept. 2, officials noted how important it is for the county to provide assistance to those in need. “These are contracts that take care of our citizens,” Commissioner Chris Exarchos said. “It gives you an idea of the immense level of services (in the county),” Commissioner Steve Dershem said. “We get involved in a lot of different things and on so many different levels.” Several contracts through the Office of Adult Services, presented by director Natalie Corman, had to do with casework, financial assistance and bridge housing for homeless or near-homeless individuals or families in Centre County. A survey was done last month, she said, in which the Office of Adult Services canvassed the area for those who are homeless or taking advantage of one of the county’s shelters. “We found 10 individuals that were unsheltered throughout the entire county,” Corman said. Along with that, most were identified in the State College area. About 24 adults and six children were in shelters at the time of the count, with about 12 adults and 14 children in transitional housing or a bridge program, she said. A count of area homeless is done each January and August. “Our numbers are still pretty average across the state,” she said. “We are not seeing any kind of high jumps in our community at all. I think that with the amount of preventative services that we try to do … helps us.” Outreach to the area’s homeless is done several times a year, not only when the counts take place, Corman said. When the county identifies someone as homeless, the Of-
Labor Day brings work for some
fice of Adult Services will provide them with information about shelters and affordable housing in the county. “We have a pretty amazing network in our community who look out for these things,” Dershem said. The commissioners also approved the county’s Retired and Senior Volunteer Program to move forward with the renewal of a grant application between the county and the Corporation for National and Community Service. RSVP organizes about 800 individuals who volunteer at about 70 nonprofit agencies throughout the county, according to RSVP coordinator Andrea Puzycki. The three-year grant would span from April 1, 2015, to March 31, 2018, and total $120,570 annually, with a county contribution at $65,009. This constitutes as RSVP’s total funding, which is renewed every three years. The federal government, Puzycki said, has issued six national objectives that all RSVP programs in the country must meet. About 70 percent of a program’s services need to fall under the following categories: disaster services, economic opportunity, education, environmental stewardship, healthy futures, and veterans and military families. While the county’s Pen Pal program, which unites volunteers with area elementary students, doesn’t qualify under the education category, Puzycki said that many of RSVP’s partners fit into the other national objectives. A new program to meet the education requirement is in the works, she said. Another area that RSVP will need to address is the statistics they send to the national government. Current statistics that RSVP collects include the number of volunteers and where they are volunteering. New standards, however, will require programs to look at who their partner agencies are serving and what the outcomes of RSVP’s services are. “I feel confident that over the three-year period of the grant, we will be able to meet the requirement of the fed-
eral government and the needs of the community,” she said. “The transition will force us to look at areas where we aren’t as strong as we’d like to be and help us to get stronger.” The commissioners also designated September as Workforce Development Month at the meeting. Margie Eby, an administrator from PA CareerLink for Centre County, attended the meeting to discuss the importance of the designation. “It’s really to honor the local professionals that work with employers and job seekers,” she said. In addition to working with employers and community members seeking employment, Eby said that CareerLink also has several programs for veterans, those with a disability, and out-of-school and in-school youth. CareerLink is part of the Central Pennsylvania Workforce Development Corporation based out of Lewisburg, Dershem said. “It really does make a difference with training and job availability in our region,” he added. Eby said that CareerLink will combine its two current locations — at Cato Park and in Bellefonte — and move into office space on Match Factory Place sometime this fall. A date for an open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony is expected to be announced next week, she said. Renovations are currently taking place inside the building to adapt the previous medical facility to CareerLink’s needs. “We’re going to be bringing all staff back under one roof,” Eby said. “It will allow us the opportunity to have more employer events.” Foot traffic into the Cato Park site, she said, was low. “Logistically … trying to keep two staff at each office at all times, for safety reasons we weren’t able to get out into the community.” CareerLink’s annual fall job fair will take place in early November, Eby said.

STATE COLLEGE — While Labor Day means a time of relaxation for many, some people in State College took the holiday a little more literally, actually laboring for the day. Devin Cashmark, who works at Bill Pickle’s Tap Room on Allen Street, said his family lives scattered between Philadelphia and North Carolina — making getting together for the Labor Day weekend more than a little difficult. “I was available, and I wanted to make some money,” he said with a laugh. Pickle’s saw its fair share of people enjoying the holiday, including a “crazy busy” lunch rush complete with early semester bar tours, Cashmark said. Even though the Corner Room next door — which shares a kitchen with Pickle’s — also saw a busy lunch rush, he said they kept up with the rush well. “I would have thought a lot of people would be out grilling,” Cashmark said, “but we still got a ton of people.” Kyle Zoscin, a manager with the Corner Room, said they were busy from the start of the day, including a lunch rush that exceeded their expectations by 50 people. Zoscin says he’s not upset about working on a holiday, since he still got an extra day off and got to go home to Hazelton for his fantasy football draft. “It’s a restaurant; I expect to work,” he said. Not everyone had to work quite so hard. Steve Artz, owner of Gift Adventures on Beaver Avenue, opened his novelty shop an hour late and closed early, giving him plenty of time to relax at home. “It’s really not a big day for shopping downtown,” he said. “I feel like a lot of people shopping today are out at the big box stores and places with big Labor Day sales.” He also got most of his Labor Day celebration out the way on Saturday, enjoying the Penn State game against UCF. The day started at his house early in the morning with a breakfast party, though he had to leave to come open the store that afternoon. “Everyone was still partying when I got back,” he said. “And then the second wave of friends came over.” Barrett McMurtry, a senior at State College High School, had a different, more physically demanding, kind of work to do on Monday morning: football practice. Though he was drenched with sweat at the end of practice, McMurtry says his Labor Day labor was a little more laid back than most practices — mostly reviewing videos and running basic exercises. He says he doesn’t mind this Labor Day practice, since he can still spend the evening at home. The long weekend also gave him more time to recover. “I’m looking forward to going home, watching some TV and hanging out with my family,” McMurtry said.

Food safety issues can be a matter of life and death By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — As the school year begins and family schedules get busier, thinking about food safety might seem moot. September is National Food Safety Education Month, though, and discussing the importance of safe food practices can be a matter of life or death. “There are a lot of different areas where we still fall short on food safety,� said senior food safety Penn State extension associate Martin Bucknavage. “There are a lot of places it can go wrong.� One of the areas where this is most common is in the home, according to Penn State department of food science associate professor Luke LaBorde. “A lot of it comes down to, nowadays, that people really need to educate themselves,� Bucknavage said. There are many things consumers can do, however, to protect themselves and their families against a foodrelated sickness, he said. Undercooking food is one of the biggest food safety issues that can be easily avoided by using a thermometer, according to both Bucknavage and LaBorde. “We always encourage people to get cooking thermometers,� LaBorde said. Often, people will rely on the color of a meat to let them know it’s done, he said. “If you open up a hamburger and it’s brown, there’s still a chance that it didn’t reach the proper temperature,� LaBorde said.
TEMPERATURE GUIDELINES Thermometer usage is always recommended to check the internal temperature of meats to ensure it’s done. The following safe minimum cooking temperatures are based on a chat by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Several dishes include rest time, which provides extra time for the dish’s high temperature to kill remaining germs. n Ground meat, and meat mixtures: 160-165 degrees n Fresh beef, veal, lamb and poultry: 145 degrees, three minutes of rest n Poultry: 165 degrees n Fresh pork and ham: 145 degrees, three minutes of rest n Egg dishes: 160 degrees n Seafood: Typically 145 degrees for fish. The esh of a shellfish should be pearly and opaque, or the shell should be open during cooking before eating.

WHEN IT COMES TO food safety, thoroughly washing fruits and vegetables is important, experts say. “Whether they’re cooking hamburgers on the grill or chickens in the oven, there’s no better way to check to make sure that something is completely cooked,� Bucknavage said. “(But) a lot of people aren’t into that kind of monitoring,� LaBorde said. “That’s where problems can happen.� Some of the biggest infractions take place on cooking shows, he said, which sends the wrong message. “Another big area that we see in food safety is cleaning,� Bucknavage said. It’s important to separate raw meats from other foods both in your shopping cart as well as in the kitchen during preparation. “That’s where cross contamination can occur,� LaBorde said. Keeping food preparation areas and things touching food clean (even body parts) is also vital. And, this is a great way to get children interested in food safety, LaBorde said. “If you want to encourage (kids) to participate in cooking, you have to tell them the importance of washing their hands,� he said. “Get them young. It’s nothing scary, just common sense.� While, like thermometer usage, it might be a dying practice, hand washing before meals is as important as ever. “If you’ve been changing diapers or working in the garden, wash your hands,� LaBorde said. “And if the kids come in, they should do the same. (Don’t) allow them to pet dogs and things like that before they eat.� Making sure food is healthy and not spoiled or unripe is also something that consumers need to think about on a

daily basis, especially if they pick from their own garden or get products at farmers markets. “It’s important that when people go to farmers markets and buy, they cook and treat it the same way they would with any other food,� Bucknavage said. And the same goes for picking out of a home garden, he said. “If you’re going to feed yourself or your family, it’s important that you use sound (food) that looks good and isn’t rotten,� he said. “If you are at a farmers market and buying refrigerated meat products, it’s important that they’re cold.� While the Internet has grown in popularity as a resource for recipes, Bucknavage cautions consumers against believing everything they read. “I think with the Internet, there’s a lot of misinformation that’s out there,� he said. Some of the things Bucknavage said he’s concerned about include people who aren’t professionals saying that things don’t need to be cooked all the way due to other ingredients, like salt, in the recipe. “It’s important that when you’re going to prepare something, whether it’s home food preservation or cooking a specific recipe, that you look for valid information,� he said. “Certainly, one of the things people can always do is go to an extension website from one of the universities.� Food processing companies and the old-fashioned cookbook are also good places to look for ideas. “Use something that has some legitimacy to it,� Bucknavage said. The aforementioned tips should especially be taken into consideration by people who are immunocompromised, LaBorde said. “Those are people whose immune systems might not be up to par because they’re (older) or might have had some kind of cancer treatment or heart transplant,� he said. This is a concern because they might be more affected by eating undercooked food than someone with a healthier immune system. “The rules of food safety haven’t really changed,� Bucknavage said. “Unfortunately, we think we don’t have to follow them anymore, but that’s not true.� Bucknavage encourages people who have questions to call their local extension offices.

Rain offers respite from heat during marathon By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — Bill Deardorff, wearing a medal around his neck, walked haltingly to his car on Sunday morning, coming as close to limping as one can while still staying upright. His labored walk was understandable. The State College resident had just run over 26 miles in the second annual Mt. Nittany Marathon, starting from Medlar Field and running around the perimeter of the borough, past Mount Nittany and back again. “It’s rewarding emotionally. You realize you can overcome your perceived physical limitations and work through the pain,”
Deardorff said. “Well, I’m still working through the pain. It’s time to go recover.” While Deardorff may have only driven 10 minutes to support an important local cause, others came from many miles away. Jon Bauer drove all the way from Wisconsin to be in State College for the Mt. Nittany Marathon as part of an ongoing goal to complete a marathon in every state. Sunday’s race was 41 out of 50, though his 10-hour drive to State College grew to 12 hours when he realized he’d forgotten his running shoes after he’d gotten an hour away from his home. “The race started at seven this morning, and with just one minute to race time the
Labor Day brings families together By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — Sharon Toole said she knew she would be with her family on Labor Day, “but the only question was where.” She lives near Pittsburgh, while her daughter and family live more than four hours away in Lebanon, but that wasn’t going to stop them. Toole says she and her husband, Robert, had plans to meet their daughter Heather Kasputis, son-in-law Michael and granddaughter Katelyn at Blue Marsh Lake in Reading, but those plans fell through. Even though they were already on the road without a destination, she didn’t panic — Heather Kasputis had it under control. “I literally just Googled ‘dog parks,’” Heather Kasputis said, gesturing towards Marley — an excitable golden retriever beside her. “So we ended up here (at Tom Tudek Memorial Park) because State College was in the middle for both of us.” While they were pulling into the parking lot, Michael Kasputis looked out the window and remarked with astonishment to his wife that he had lived in this very neighborhood years ago as a student at Penn State. “It’s such a huge coincidence,” he said. “I haven’t been here in 10 years. This was just a big, empty field when I was here.” A decade later, it was the site of a Labor Day lunch under sunny skies before a day Clothing, from page 1 The clothing giveaway isn’t just a weeklong event. At the end of each grading period in the 2014-15 school year, students can earn more free clothing. Students who earn an A or A- (or numerical equivalent) in core academic subjects — English,
of trail walking and hiking. Even though it wasn’t part of the original plan, Heather Kasputis said the whole family had fun — even Marley, who “has never been to a dog park before, and met some new furry friends today.” They weren’t the only ones who had to make some last-minute changes to their Labor Day plans. Ray Regan, of State College, describes himself as a chronic “lastminute planner,” so when he tried to put together a birthday picnic for his two children, he ran into some minor obstacles along the way. “We let the family know about the party on Friday, and then we got everything together last night,” Regan said. “The first park we went to was actually full, so we had to move everything.” After arriving at the Holmes-Foster Park in State College, Morgan Regan slowly got more and more excited. Though she doesn’t turn 11 for another six days — and her brother Andrew doesn’t turn 10 until Saturday, Sept. 20 — she was happy for the chance to see her family, who lives scattered around Centre County. “My aunts and uncles and cousins and friends all came,” Morgan said. “That makes me happy because we only get to see them at certain times.” She says she wasn’t upset at having to come to a different park than originally planned. As long as she’s outside with her family, she’s happy. “Plus, we have confetti cannons and Silly String for later, so it looks like this is all going to be pretty good,” Morgan said. math, social studies, history and science — will receive one free article of clothing.

sky opens and it just starts pouring,” he says. Event organizer, president of the Mt. Nittany Conservancy and StateCollege. com columnist John Hook says the rain did surprisingly little to dampen people’s spirits. Over 150 volunteers dutifully lined the length of the marathon at water stations, and he says racers enjoyed the cooling effects of the rain — as opposed to last year, which “was 85 freaking degrees out,” prompting them to move the race to earlier in the morning. “When people talk about the iconic symbols of Happy Valley, they always mention Mt. Nittany,” Hook said, explaining why raising awareness for the conser-
vancy is important. “After all, they’re not the ‘pussycat lions.’ They’re the Nittany Lions.” For Huntingdon resident George Conrad, Sunday morning’s trek through Happy Valley helped him prepare for the upcoming Tussey Mountainback 50 mile race in October. Having run 20 miles the day before (and then 26.2 more on Sunday), Conrad says he looks forward to “a day of rest” before resuming his training. “I consider running more an art form than exercise,” Conrad says. “Once you get going, you find you can take yourself farther and farther. I always think of myself as not running on the earth, but running with the earth.”
Service set to honor Jones By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State has announced that a memorial service for W. Terrell Jones will be held Tuesday, Sept. 23. Jones, who served as vice provost for educational equity at Penn State and was a well-known expert on diversity issues, died Aug. 19. He was 64. The service will be from 4 to 6 p.m. in Worship Hall, Pasquerilla Spiritual Center. Jones was frequently sought to speak publicly about diversity issues and was “known in higher education for his unique agenda and knack for teaching people how to appreciate diversity,” according to the university. Jones was a published author on the issue of cultural diversity and instructed courses on race relations and cross-cultural counseling. He served as a board member of International Partnership for Service Learning and a diversity consultant for several Pennsylvania school districts and private
sector organizations. He was also a faculty member of the Summer Institute for Intercultural Communication for more than 10 years. Jones also served as president of the Pennsylvania Black Conference on Higher Education between TERRELL JONES March 2008 and February 2010. He earned both his master’s and doctoral degrees at Penn State and a bachelor’s degree at Lock Haven University. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to Albright-Bethune United Methodist Church, P.O. Box 153, State College, PA 16803. Contributions can also be made to the Dr. W. Terrell Jones Memorial Scholarship Fund at The Pennsylvania State University by mail at Penn State, University Programs, 1A Old Main, University Park, PA 16802.
Dry fall, snowy winter predicted By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — Don’t get too used to the summery conditions we’ve been having the past few days — a change in the weather is lurking down the road. AccuWeather meteorologist Paul Pastelok says State College residents can expect a snowy winter following a mostly dry fall season. “I would be wiping the cobwebs ... off the snow blowers,” says Pastelok. While Pastelok predicts a snowy winter, he says AccuWeather will release a formal and more detailed winter forecast in late September or early October. As for the fall, overall, Pastelok says it
will be mostly dry and not terribly cold. After a summer filled with substantial rain, Pastelok says September and October are expected to be mostly dry with the exception of a couple potential rainstorms in early September. Pastelok also says temperatures will be right around normal with a couple of cool snaps in the second half of September. There is also some concern frost could show up a week or two earlier than usual, he says. Pastelok expects November to include more precipitation. “It may get a little rough” and the State College area could see some bigger systems with the potential threat of snow, Pastelok says.

Drinking, from page 1 noise violations, underage drinking, public urination, public drunkenness, vandalism, theft and driving under the influence. Less frequently, fights and sexual assaults are also influenced by alcohol. Like Pollack, King said the fraction of alcohol-related crimes may actually be higher than two-thirds, since some reported calls never yield a suspect or arrest. Statistics like this are no secret, nor should they come as a shock. Penn State police make this and other information available to the public in an annual report, while the university consistently ranks as one of the nation’s top party schools in publications such as the Princeton Review. “I think that drinking culture is actually fairly pervasive across colleges and universities all over the United States,” said Linda LaSalle, director of health promotion within Penn State’s University Health Services. “Drinking culture is the notion that alcohol use is a fundamental part of the college experience as perceived by the student, and I would say many — if not all — higher education institutions are struggling with this issue.” King said this issue doesn’t apply only to college students, adding that alcohol-related crimes are more common in youthful populations regardless of the presence of a university. About 70 percent of State College’s population is made of residents between the ages of 15 and 24 — more than five times the state average of 13 percent. Other factors that King said influence the number of alcohol-influenced crimes include the university’s massive and enduringly popular athletics program, drinkingfocused events like State Patty’s Day, and the large number of fraternities and other greek organizations. Dan Combs, president of the Penn State Interfraternity Council, acknowledges that greek organizations often have an image of “lawlessness or chaos” associated with them, but said, “This simply isn’t true.” The IFC imposes a strict series of guidelines on fraternities to ensure the safety of its members, Combs said. All social events must be registered beforehand, and can only be held between the hours of 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. Shots are not allowed at frat parties, and neither are kegs or devices like beer funnels. While violations of these rules do occur, Combs said the IFC hires an outside security company to monitor parties and document violations. The IFC then will impose any number of penalties including fines, banning recruiting new members and other social probations. Other incidents like fights and sexual assaults sometimes occur, which Combs said are taken very seriously and punished accordingly. Oftentimes, an entire fraternity will be punished for the actions of one individual as a way of discouraging similar behavior in the future. “I’m not going to act like underage drinking doesn’t happen at the fraternities,” Combs said. “Frankly, there are always going to be a lot of kids who are going to drink unSafety, from page 1 to November. Last year, about 37 percent of all of Centre LifeLink’s calls in State College Borough occurred during those three months. This percentage is consistent with numbers from 2007, when the EMS service began collecting the data. Centre LifeLink data also shows that about 36 percent

derage, and our stance is that we will educate them about alcohol abuse to make sure they drink properly, represent the fraternity well and treat women with respect. If they can’t do those things, then they can’t be in the frat.” Anand Ganjam and Emily McDonald, president and vice-president of the University Park Undergraduate Association, are quick to point out that while many Penn State students do drink while studying at the university, only a small percentage engage in high-risk or binge drinking. “For most of the students that I know, drinking harmfully is not something they do often,” McDonald said. “They do it maybe once or twice, and then they learn their lesson.” Even with only a small fraction of the student population engaging in high-risk drinking, having such a large student body still makes dangerous drinking “pretty common” among the student body, she said. Ganjam said the surrounding culture and community plays a role on drinking culture at Penn State, with State College’s numerous bars serving as the center of the community’s nightlife. He said this isn’t necessarily a problem for students who drink responsibly, as this helps drives the State College economy and encourages socialization and a sense of community. Combs also said that social drinking encourages networking and helps students make connections that could help them after graduation. Ganjam said that the UPUA has worked with Penn State administration on a number of educational initiatives to help curb the issue of high-risk drinking. Before beginning their first semester, all students must take part in Penn State SAFE — an online program that includes information on how the body processes alcohol, how to monitor alcohol intake, and how to stay safe in social situations. The Take the Lead campaign features posters with student leaders encouraging responsible decision making and offering advice related to alcohol use. Pollack said that students are also educated about Pennsylvania’s medical amnesty policy, in which if a underage student who has been drinking calls emergency services for a friend suffering from alcohol poisoning, the caller will not be punished — though the student who requires medical attention will. “We have had people who have come forward about the medical amnesty policy who feel that having to go to the hospital should be punishment enough,” Pollack said. “But we feel very strongly that we don’t want to encourage any irresponsible behavior.” For students who are arrested downtown or require a trip to the hospital, further resources are in place. King said that all students who are charged with a crime by the State College police are also subject to disciplinary action from the Penn State Office of Student Conduct. Students who are arrested in connection with alcohol, or who are taken to the hospital for reasons related to alco-
hol consumption, are required to take the Penn State BASICS program. LaSalle said that BASICS — or Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students — is an evidence-based series of classes that lets students evaluate their own drinking habits when compared to their peers. “We have data from over many years that show most students engage in low-risk drinking, or don’t drink at all,” LaSalle said. “But by that point, many students have already decided to change their behavior. Getting arrested or going to the emergency room helps them think differently about their behavior.” For some students, these preventative resources and educational approaches aren’t effective — though this is no fault of the resources themselves. For some students, like “Joe,” alcohol presents an entirely different kind of problem. Joe is a Penn State student, a self-identified alcoholic and drug addict in recovery, and a member of the executive board of the student organization Lions for Recovery. He agreed to speak to the Centre County Gazette on the condition of anonymity. “For me, being an alcoholic and a drug addict, it didn’t matter if I was immersed in alcohol culture or drug culture — that didn’t change my habits,” Joe said. “When I got sober, I left Penn State for a semester and people would ask, ‘How are you going to go back to Penn State? It’s such a party atmosphere.’” Joe said that his disease predates his time at Penn State, meaning programs like SAFE had no real chance of preventing his drinking. Similarly, the party atmosphere of the university had no real influence on his drinking. Unlike a student who may make a mistake after one bad night of drinking, Joe found himself unable to control his alcohol consumption and was arrested multiple times. He said the educational initiatives in place at Penn State are effective for many students, but he faced a struggle that an approach like the BASICS program was unable to help with. He is now a part of the Collegiate Recovery Community, which has been instrumental to his continuing recovery at Penn State. The CRC is a student affairs program made up of the Lions for Recovery and the related alumni interest group Lions in Recovery. The organization protects the anonymity of its members and offers numerous resources for students in need of help with substance addiction, including support groups, seminars and a safe space to spend time with other students in recovery. Even with all these resources to prevent alcohol misuse and educate the student body, McDonald said that it’s “naive to think we can totally get rid of this problem.” “At the end of the day, the students are going to make their own decision,” she said. “It’s their decision to drink and if they don’t do so responsibly, that’s why we have programs to help them after they make mistakes.”
of assaults in the borough in 2013 took place between September and November. Not all assaults during home football and other special event weekends are alcohol related, but a good majority are, Aston said. And while most calls Centre LifeLink gets on busier weekends are alcohol related, Centre LifeLink EMT and crew supervisor Kevin Duffy said he hopes that “assaults will continue to go down all around” in the future. Data shows a peak in 2008 and 2010 at 43 and 47 percent, respectively, of total annual assaults in the borough occurring during that same fall time period. While arrests and ambulance calls are more frequent on any home Penn State football weekend than others during the year, night games and good weather usually result in more calls all around, Aston said. This is when day drinking occurs the most throughout the season. If the team is doing well, she said, that could also lead to more police calls later in the season, whereas losses tend to slow people down. Whether you’re a State College native, Penn State student or visitor, area officials recommend taking the following tips into consideration while celebrating. n Keeping track. This is important, Duffy said. “Some-
times people aren’t sure what they are consuming.” Jungle juice, a mixture of alcohol and juice for group consumption, is a big concern, he said, because it’s often unclear what the mixture is comprised of. n Not leaving your drink unattended. An unwatched drink may give someone the opportunity to put something in it or switch it with another, Aston said. n Moderation. Regularly eat and drink water while consuming alcohol, but don’t mix it with medication, recreational drugs or energy drinks. This could lead to a variety of health complications and overconsumption, Aston said. Keeping a clear head could also decrease the chances of an alcohol-induced feud. n Don’t get behind the wheel. Whether you have been drinking or using recreational drugs, or doing a combination of both, it’s not safe to drive. “Local police do a good job at cracking down on that,” said Centre LifeLink CQI manager Mark Jermusky. While most fatal accidents occur outside their coverage area, he said, it’s best to call for a ride if you’re unsure of whether or not you’re OK to drive. n Don’t go anywhere alone. Using the buddy system and sticking to populated and well-lit areas is recommended, Aston said.

Build global team to expunge terror
www.klabans.com
At the beginning of the year, President Barack Obama compared the terrorist group calling itself the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria to a “JV team” putting on Lakers uniforms. But in the intervening months, the Islamic State has taken control of large swaths of central Iraq and parts of civil war-torn Syria. And members of the group beheaded American journalist James Foley, daring the United States to respond. Recently Obama approved expanded U.S. reconnaissance flights over Iraq and Syria, following limited air strikes to aid Kurds in northern Iraq. Is that enough? Should the United States treat the Islamic State as the new alQaida? Columnists Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk weigh in. Here’s a sentence I never thought I’d write: The Islamic State militants who gruesomely beheaded James Foley should be killed. They should die hard, bloody, awful deaths. Foley was a civilian — a journalist. His beheading is nothing less than an act of war against the United States by the Islamic State, and the America is justified to respond with pure hellfire. But Americans should be eyes wide-open to the consequences of this act. First, the Al Pacino problem. “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!” The United States, after more than a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, was this close to finally being free of those commitments. It was always the case that violence would accompany our decision to
leave age-old rivalries to sort themselves out. There are consequences to leaving, after all. But we’ll be consigning ourselves to another generation of war in a region that defies peaceful solutions to its problems. We’re either in or we’re out. It may be too late, after all, to decide we’re out. Even if our continued involvement is justified, it will also be tragic. The second, more immediate problem, is this: We know that the Islamic State is the “bad guy.” Who is the “good guy?” In Syria, at least, it appears there are none with the strength to take power if the U.S. intervenes. “From Somalia to Kosovo to Libya, the problem with America’s humanitarian interventions has never been ascertaining the nastiness of the people we’re fighting against. It’s been ascertaining the efficacy and decency of the people we’re fighting for,” Atlantic writer Peter Beinart wrote last week. “That’s a particular challenge in the case of ISIS (another name for the Islamic State) in Syria.” The Islamic State should not kill American civilians with impunity. Period. But exacting a price from the villains will come with a price of its own. This time, at least, let’s recognize the likely price in advance.
BEN BOYCHUK
The Islamic State not only threatens American interests in the Middle East — it threatens American lives abroad and possibly here at home. The United States could cripple and kill the Islamic State — if we have the will to do the job. Do we? Obama has allowed limited airstrikes and reconnaissance flights. The White House foolishly revealed a
failed mission to rescue James Foley in Syria, so we can assume U.S. special forces are lurking about the area, too. But these are half-measures in an allor-nothing conflict. “To make war is to kill the spirit as well as the body of the enemy, so terribly as to make sure that it will not rise again, and that nobody will want to imitate it,” writes Angelo Codevilla, a fellow of the Claremont Institute and author most recently of “To Make and Keep Peace.” Crippling and killing the Islamic State shouldn’t require another “liberation” of Iraq. Whether or not the Iraqis or their neighbors to the west in Syria embrace our brand of democracy should matter little to us. We could impose damaging economic sanctions on the nations supporting the Islamic State — including our “allies” in Turkey and Qatar. If it’s true that an army marches on its stomach, then the Islamic State won’t last long without a steady flow of money and material support. We could draw in Iraq’s neighbors into the fight — why should it just be American lives on the line? Iran has already sent tanks into the northern part of the country. Doing nothing — or little more than nothing — carries risks. We forget that Osama bin Laden first declared war on the United States in 1996 and renewed his call to “kill the Americans and their allies — civilians and military” in 1998. Few Americans noticed or cared. We did little after al-Qaida attacked U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 and bombed the USS Cole in Yemen in 1999. Only when Bin Laden’s men carried out the horrific attacks of Sept. 11 did Americans finally pay attention. Let’s not repeat that mistake.
By DAN K. THOMASSON
WASHINGTON — When is the last time you heard about a grade school youngster stumbling over an Uzi on the playground? Like never you say? Amazing! But that improbability, or close to it, seems to be at the heart of the defense of those who would let little children handle the deadliest firearms on earth. Have we gone nuts? Well, some of us have and that’s for certain. Unless you have been living on Mars you will recognize where this is going. It stems from the recent incident that caused the death of a military veteran husband and father working on a shooting range in Arizona. The poor 9-year-old girl at the center of the tragedy was being coached (with her parents standing by) on how to fire the notoriously difficult Uzi when the weapon’s recoil kicked the gun upward and backward sending a bullet into the head of the instructor. The gun was on full automatic when this took place. Defenders of the faith — that being the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution — immediately sprang into action when antagonists suggested that perhaps an elementary school student shouldn’t be near a weapon of mass destruction let alone taught to fire one. It seems that the public firing range did have a rule that you needed to be 8 or above, as if that one year made a difference. One never knows when a wee person might come across such a poten-
tially deadly force, so they need to be trained how to handle the situation. Right? Could it be that running like hell to find more mature help might be the solution? Shouldn’t a warning to beware of unexpected firearms be on the must list of advice for every little child, right along with the one that says never get into a car with a stranger? Of course, that doesn’t cover the parents imbued with the gun culture, who irresponsibly leave a loaded weapon nearby where inquisitive children can reach it. But that’s a different story altogether. What we’re talking about here are professionals who sell shooting rights of automatic and semi-automatic weapons to boys and girls under the age of 16 or 18 at public ranges, or for that matter even the private clubs and galleries. Don’t be mistaken. I’m not talking about .22-caliber rifles or other hunting or target weapons. Boys and girls several years younger are capable of learning shooting and safety rules that will generally protect them, and those around them, from harm. Auto or semiautomatic weapons are completely different. They are battlefield weapons, powerful and often difficult to handle. Not only does handling them require judgment, but strength is a major consideration. Had the little girl firing the Uzi had the physical ability to hold steady against the recoil, the instructor probably would not have been killed. In addition, experts analyzing the situation
state that he should have been behind her to the right instead of the left and should have had his hand on hers. But that’s all beside the point. This accident would not have occurred had the weapon been off limits to anyone of her age. As usual, we humans seem to make the same mistakes over and over again never learning from the past. The killer children of Africa — little boys and probably some girls without mature judgment handed AK47s and AR15s and exploited by war lords bent on mass destruction — should have taught us something. Life meant nothing to them. They were too young to even comprehend the finality of death. Their mantra: Shoot anything that moves. This is not an indictment of the little girl in Arizona. Her responsibility is zero. It is a plea for rationality. The irresponsibility of those who led her into such tragedy, including her parents, is another matter. It belongs to us who continue to turn a deaf ear to the cries for common sense reforms following one chaotic tragedy after another resulting from easily accessible firearms. The U.S. Supreme Court bears the blame. All those congressmen afraid of and beholden to the gun industry bear the blame. The manufacturers and their mouthpieces in the National Rifle Association and other organizations bear the blame. Most of all, the American people who have not risen up in anger bear the blame. Here’s to playgrounds free of the Uzi.

The end of the week is particularly gruesome in the places where Islamic State terrorists rule, but the Islamic State commits its crimes against humanity every day. This is the conclusion of a United Nations commission, which issued a report this week, and called for prosecutions at the international criminal court. “Fridays are regularly marked by executions, amputations and lashings in public squares,” the independent commission of inquiry on the human rights situation in Syria said. Children are forced to watch the atrocities. Innocent civilians can only hope to flee or survive or wait for powerful forces to come to the rescue. Whose forces would that be? Delicate and difficult conversations are surely taking place in the White House, the Pentagon and the back channels of this nation’s security operations, as President Barack Obama attested to Thursday. While some want to snipe at the president’s supposed lack of leadership, or misguidingly blame him for this predicament, a more productive activity would be coming to grips with what needs to be done. We know that American boots on the ground — in Syria or Iraq — should not be the answer. We know that even the minimal air attacks and surveillance the U.S. has undertaken have made a difference. But the Obama administration’s most important work will be to gather not only our usual allies but an unlikely coalition of stakeholders in the Middle East — among them, the arch-rivals Saudi Arabia and Iran come to mind — around the common goal of expunging this brutal and increasingly brazen scourge. And all this while Russia makes more opportunistic moves in Ukraine, and a fragile truce begins to take hold in Gaza. Foreign policy rarely attracts the attention of most Americans. But it’s on the front burner now, and will be weighed very much in the legacy of this politically battered president.

Prostate cancer screening contributes to fewer deaths HERSHEY — Fewer men are being diagnosed with and dying from prostate cancer these days. While that is due in part to widespread awareness and better treatment, it is also the result of more judicious screening. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and the second-leading cause of cancer-related death in men following lung cancer. In 1995, when a test came out to measure the PSA, or prostate specific antigen, in the blood, the number of diagnoses spiked. During the past 20 years — especially the past five or six — there has been an annual reduction of 3 to 4 percent in diagnoses. Awareness certainly plays a part in that. Most men know that they should get screened once every year or so once they hit age 50 because early detection leads to more effective treatment. “If you’re under 50, you are at low risk, and if you’re over 70, you’re probably going to die of some other cause,” said Dr. Jay Raman, associate professor of urology at Penn State Hershey. Those most at risk are men whose father or brother have been diagnosed, as well as African-American males and those who eat high-fat diets that have been known to increase the likelihood of developing other cancers. Raman says there is discussion within the medical community about the necessity for and frequency of prostate screenings. Just over two years ago, the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force gave a low grade to screening for prostate

cancer, indicating no general benefit to it. The American Urology Association’s position suggested that was a bit extreme and that men should still be screened, just in a more effective way. New, more specific tests have been developed that — together with the PSA and a rectal exam — can determine the type, amount and aggressiveness of prostate cancer. Raman says a newer PCA3 urine test is good for potentially confirming an initial high PSA value prior to proceeding to prostate biopsy. “We know now that not all prostate cancer is alike,” he says. “Some can be simply followed and observed and don’t need active treatment.” Advances in surgery in the last five to 10 years, coupled with more targeted radiation and new medications approved by the Food and Drug Administration, also have contributed to lower death rates from prostate cancer once diagnosed.
Researcher nominated for federal award DANVILLE — A Geisinger researcher has been nominated for a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention award recognizing his unprecedented approach to addressing a major public health concern. Dr. Joseph Boscarino, a senior scientist at Geisinger Health System, is one of a team of researchers nominated for the CDC’s Charles C. Shepard Science Award for Data Methods and Study Design. “Hepatitis C killed my younger brother in 2010, so finding a cure for this disease is very personal for me,” Boscarino said. Boscarino, whose brother George started the Bosco’s Buddies Hepatitis C Foundation prior to his passing, along with researchers from the CDC in Atlanta, Henry Ford Health System in Detroit and Kaiser Permanente in Portland, Ore., and Honolulu, are nominated for their work on the paper, “Baseline Characteristics and Mortality Among People in Care for Chronic Viral Hepatitis: The Chronic Hepatitis Cohort Study.” The study was the largest ever of its kind to investigate chronic hepatitis B and C in the United States.

Raman says the bottom line is to be aware, but not to over-treat. “Screening is paramount because it can detect the disease before it becomes significant enough to be symptomatic,” he said. “But just like you don’t immediately start diabetes medication after a single high glucose test, you don’t want to overreact to a single high PSA result.” September is National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.

35 years of “Eye Care You Trust”
The paper, published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases in January 2013, assessed more than 11,000 patients with chronic hepatitis infections, including hepatitis B and C, determining that these viruses are a substantial health burden in the United States, particularly hepatitis C among people born between 1945 and 1964. “In our country today, there is a great deal of emphasis put on the JOSEPH research and treatment of different BOSCARINO types of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and the like, and rightfully so, but the Chronic Hepatitis Cohort Study sheds light on the fact that chronic hepatitis B and C should be treated with the same sense of urgency,” Boscarino said. “This study is the largest of its kind to examine the incidence and health care impact of chronic hepatitis B and C in the U.S. population, and the results are enlightening with respect to the prevalence, treatment and course of chronic hepatitis disease.” In honor of Dr. Charles C. Shepard, the internationally recognized microbiologist who was chief of the Leprosy and Rickettsia Branch at the CDC for more than 30 years, the organization hands out five awards annually, four for outstanding scientific publication and one for lifetime scientific achievement. The Chronic Hepatitis Cohort Study is nominated for the scientific publication award in the category of data methods and study design, which is one of four categories of the award. The others are assessment, prevention and control, and laboratory science. The data methods and study design award recognizes a new or refined non-laboratory method and/or study design that addresses one or more public health challenges. In other words, it awards the development and demonstration of an outstanding or exceptional approach to solving a major public health concern. Upon being nominated, Boscarino and his colleagues will now be subject to a committee review that includes two co-chairs, an executive secretary and 17 reviewing members. The committee’s decisions are expected later this year.

Food scientists developing new drug delivery method By JEFF MULHOLLEM Special to the Gazette
UNIVERSITY PARK — A unique method for delivering compounds that could positively impact the global battle against HIV and AIDS may be possible, thanks to researchers in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences. A semi-soft vaginal suppository made from the seaweed-derived food ingredient carrageenan and loaded with the antiviral drug Tenofovir provides a woman-initiated drug-delivery vehicle that can protect against the spread of sexually transmitted infections during unprotected heterosexual intercourse, the researchers said. With more than 34 million people worldwide living with HIV, microbicides — compounds that can be applied vaginally or rectally — offer a way to slow the spread of the virus, noted lead researcher Toral Zaveri, postdoctoral scholar in food science. Containing agents known to prevent transmission of HIV and other viruses, microbicides can be inserted into the vagina prior to intercourse as a gel, cream, foam, sponge, suppository or film. Zaveri pointed out that carrageenan was selected over gelatin — which traditionally has been used for semi-soft suppositories — because it offers a number of important advantages. Because carrageenan is plant based, it is acceptable to vegetarians, there is no risk of animal-acquired infections and it avoids religious objections. Also, it is more stable than gelatin at higher ambient temperatures common in tropical regions of the world. The suppositories developed by the Penn State researchers hold particular promise for places such as regions of Africa, where HIV is widespread and women often are not in control of sexual situations, according to Zaveri. “Condoms have been successful in preventing transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. However, effectiveness depends on correct and consistent use by the male partner,� she said. “Due to socioeconomic and gender
inequities, women in some countries and cultures are not always in a position to negotiate regular condom use, so a drugdispersing suppository can protect against transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections during heterosexual intercourse with a partner whose infection status may or may not be known to the woman.� As part of the research, Zaveri, who earned her doctorate in biomedical engineering at the University of Florida, conducted extensive sensory-perception testing to assess acceptability of the suppositories among women. Women participating in the study at the Sensory Evaluation Center in Penn State’s Department of Food Science were presented with suppositories — without the drug — in a variety of sizes, shapes and textures. They indicated their preferences and rated the suppositories for willingness to try and imagined ease of insertion. The initial evaluations all were done only in the hand as part of this preclinical development effort. Many factors go into making choices, Zaveri explained, such as vaginal products women may have used previously, as well as their sexual and cultural practices. Understanding women’s perception of the suppository and reasons behind their choices is a critical step in the development of the suppository as a vaginal drugdelivery system. Zaveri also studied the release of Tenofovir from the suppositories in a simulated vaginal environment to ensure that the drug will be released once inserted in the body, even in the presence of semen. “Many people work on drug delivery and use different methods to create drugdelivery products, but not many focus on the end-user aspect of this,� she said. “Obviously, the product can be effective only if it is acceptable to women and they use it. We have gone a step farther with this study to validate the acceptability of our suppositories among women — and that’s critical. We are not just trying to make our product better, we also are trying to understand the reasoning behind the choices women make
regarding vaginal drug delivery in general.� Zaveri noted that some may be surprised that biomedical research is done in the Department of Food Science. But she said it seemed natural given her collaboration on the study with Penn State faculty members Gregory Ziegler — with recognized expertise in biopolymers such as carrageenan — and John Hayes, who is known for his proficiency in sensory-perception research on bitterness, oral burn and consumer acceptability. “The biomedical use of a food additive — a material widely used in the food industry for its gelling, thickening and stabilizing properties — as a medium for a drug-delivery system is a novel idea, but we were playing to all of our strengths on the team,� she said. Previous microbicides were generally solids or liquids. “We exploited the intermediate design space of viscoelastic materials known as gels,� said Ziegler, “thus avoiding some of the drawbacks of these other dosage
forms.� The real beauty of the concept, Zaveri suggested, is its potential for relatively quick commercialization because the material used to formulate the suppositories, carrageenan, is already approved, and safety studies have been done in previous microbicide clinical trials. “Currently the suppositories are prepared in the lab by simple molding,� she said. “However, the research team is investigating methods for large-scale production and packaging — key factors to be considered for product commercialization. Considering the safety, efficacy and user-acceptability tests that we are doing, it easily is possible for a company to take this product and run with it.� A National Institutes of Health grant to Hayes and Ziegler through the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases supported this work, which was described in a series of papers in PLOS ONE, Antiviral Research and, most recently, the July and September issues of Pharmaceutics.

PSU senior exploring passion for journalism DUBLIN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; By senior year, most students know which field of study they want to pursue. But the declaration doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the time or ability to explore other areas of interest. Senior Schreyer Honors College scholar Bobby Chen is a prime example. Chen, who is studying international politics and economics, also has a passion for journalism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many scholars have a wide variety of talents and interests, and at the honors college, we actively encourage scholars to pursue and combine their passions into unique academic travel opportunities and academic pursuits,â&#x20AC;? Schreyer Honors College associate dean for academic affairs Nichola Gutgold said. As a self-described â&#x20AC;&#x153;nerdâ&#x20AC;? for athletics and photography, Chen was offered the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to tackle all of his interests in one trip. With the Penn State Nittany Lion football team opening its 2014 season in Ireland, Chen learned of the chance to cover the game for the John Curley Center for Sports Journalism from center director John Affleck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working for the Curley Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Croke
Park Bureau might be the last opportunity during my Penn State career to experience what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to work as a professional journalist,â&#x20AC;? Chen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a career path that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very much still considering, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad I have this chance to help me make that choice down the line.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each week, I meet scholars who are doing very unique things and often they create one-of-a-kind opportunities for themselves,â&#x20AC;? Gutgold said. Arriving in Ireland a week before the game, Chen and seven fellow Penn State students had the opportunity to travel the country photographing traditional Irish sports such as Gaelic football, as well as Irish cultural events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ireland has a fascinating political and cultural history,â&#x20AC;? Chen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So having the opportunity to cover a Penn State game as a photojournalist, while in a storied foreign country, is somewhat of a dream come true for me.â&#x20AC;? Aside from taking photos and taking in the sites of Ireland, Chen hopes this trip will further his knowledge of producing news content for media organizations and broaden his experience in international politics and economics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to learn as much about Irish
Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program contributes to literacy efforts at Schlow STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In response to a wide body of research that shows how reading aloud to children impacts reading readiness, Schlow Centre Region Library is launching a â&#x20AC;&#x153;1,000 Books Before Kindergartenâ&#x20AC;? program. Modeled after similar initiatives throughout the country, 1,000 BBK provides incentives to families who read to their children. The program encourages parents and caregivers to expose infants and toddlers to a minimum of 1,000 books by the time they begin kindergarten and rewards them along the way for each 100 books they read together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Schlowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;1,000 Books Before Kindergartenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; program takes the potentially daunting task of reading 1,000 books to your child and makes it accessible, rewarding and fun,â&#x20AC;? said childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department head Anita Ditz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Schlow is committed to helping all families achieve their greatest potential as readers. This program celebrates reading, and supports the efforts of local families to prepare their children for success in kindergarten and beyond.â&#x20AC;? Using simple tracking worksheets available in the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department, 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten participants receive recognition for each 100 books they read together. Each log sheet has 100 pictures on it, and readers/families color in one picture per book read. When a log sheet has been completed, the child can come to the library to choose a small prize and post his/her first name and number of books read on Schlowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Forest of Fantastic Readers scene. When a child reaches the 1,000 book milestone, he/she will be given a stuffed animal, and a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department book will be dedicated in the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name. A special 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten bookplate will bear the name of the participant, as well as the date the child completed the program. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, reading aloud to children, even in infancy, promotes crucial brain development. As children listen to books, they build vocabulary, develop a love of books and stories, and cultivate the habit of reading. In her book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reading Magic,â&#x20AC;? childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s author and educator Mem Fox said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Experts tell us that children need to hear a thousand stories read aloud before they begin to read for themselves. â&#x20AC;Ś Three stories a day will deliver us a thousand stories in one year alone.â&#x20AC;?

BEA introduces new reading program WINGATE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Bald Eagle Area School District has adopted a new K-6 reading program, Reading Wonders, which will begin this school year. Reading Wonders is the first and only reading program designed specifically for the Common Core State Standards. This program combines strong research-based instruction to meet todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s educational challenges and uses both print and digital media to engage students. BEA administrators and teaching staff had evaluated three different Common Core reading programs in January. The districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal was to find a language arts program that was consistent and able to be integrated into other discipline areas.
Representatives and consultants from each of the three programs met with BEA K-6 teachers to explain what their particular programs could offer. Teachers had the opportunity to complete feedback forms and checklists on each program. Based on those results, one program was eliminated. Teachers conducted further research on the remaining two programs, and then voted for the best program to fit BEAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we move forward, we need to continue to challenge students and provide an education that will also provide consistency throughout the district,â&#x20AC;? said district reading specialist assistant Skip Pighetti. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reading Wonders is a good fit, meeting those requirements. The program gives
BEA a language arts program that integrates reading, writing, vocabulary and spelling, but still keeps the emphasis on maintaining a balanced literacy approach.â&#x20AC;? In the past, teachers used several different programs to complete their daily language arts lessons. But with the new program, for example, a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weekly spelling or vocabulary lists will now consist of some of the same words that were read in their recent literature lesson, so students will be seeing the words several times throughout the week. This will allow for a better learning experience. BEA teachers and principals received training on the program in July.

Coburn Park hosts 12th annual Crickfest By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
COBURN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Penns Valley Conservation Association hosted the 12th annual Crickfest in Coburn Park on Aug. 31. The name is derived from â&#x20AC;&#x153;crick,â&#x20AC;? a slang term for creek. Elk Creek and Pine Creek both merge with Penns Creek at Coburn. The event is a celebration of conservation of the environment and the Penns Creek watershed. It attracts a large number of visitors from Penns Valley and the surrounding area, and has grown larger each year of its existence. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crickfest featured live music, prepared local foods, a silent auction, a petting zoo and many other fun and educational activities for the whole family. Profits from Crickfest help to finance the PVCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environmental education program in the Penns Valley Area School District and many other watershed-related projects. Several nonprofit, conservation-oriented groups had display booths set up to inform the public of their goals and activities. Lisa Marshall and Larry Wolken represented WSOV, the low-power FM radio station in the process of being established in Penns Valley. The proposed studio and transmitter site is the St. Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cultural Center in Millheim, and the signal could reach an estimated 12,000 people. Wolken said the group has a website, www.wsov.org, where podcasts of prerecorded programs are available for listening. The podcasts contain samples of
proposed programs and interviews with Penns Valley citizens recounting some of the history of the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for sponsors for shows, and new program ideas,â&#x20AC;? said Marshall. Wolken said that the group will continue to hold events to raise the money needed to purchase the necessary radio transmitting equipment. Andrea Ferich, executive director of the PVCA, explained the organizations role in local conservation projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just got a quarter million dollar grant from the Department of Community and Economic Development,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is for watershed restoration and protection projects here in Penns Valley.â&#x20AC;? She cited the planting of 11,000 trees along Muddy Creek in Gregg Township and several stream bank improvement projects in the area as examples. The rubber duck races have always been a very popular childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event at Crickfest. Entrants in this event purchased numbered rubber ducks for $1 each, which were released by PVCA member Susan Haney in a swift flowing section of Penns Creek. Prizes were awarded to the first few ducks to cross the finish line, about 60 yards downstream. Spectators clapped and cheered as the ducks raced along, riding the swift, midstream channel. Several heats were held throughout the afternoon, attracting many entrants and spectators. Another popular childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activity was launching water rockets. The launch area had stations with a vertical piece of

Snugly placed between the River Corrib and the bay, Galway charms its way into your heart. Its medieval feel takes you to another era, surrounding you with stone walls and narrow streets. Pubs line the alleyways just as in Dublin, yet each has its own flair unique to Galway and the history to go along with it. Our group got our first glimpse of Galway history nestled into the mountainside on the way into the city. Our bus drove down a winding road and in the distance we saw what we thought was a castle across the lake before us. Instead, we were dropped off in front of the Kylemore Abbey. With its massive stone façade and walled Victorian garden, the abbey was founded in 1920 for Benedictine nuns who fled from Belgium at the height of World War I. The land around the abbey was serene and peaceful. Fog floated atop the Galway, Page 14

Grange Fair defined by tradition CENTRE HALL — If I were to pick one word to describe the Grange Fair, the word would be “tradition.” The fair has been happening in Centre Hall for 140 years, beginning with Grange Master Leonard Rhone’s “pic-nik” in 1874. That’s a long time before computers, cell phones (or any phones), television, radio, airplanes or even automobiles. The people came to Centre Hall by horse and buggy, some traveling nearly a full day to get there. And that’s why there were tents. The tents were put up so people could stay overnight and make the journey home the next day. In 1887, Rhone borrowed 50 army tents from the Pennsylvania National Guard and erected them on the grounds. The tent tradition has stayed with the fair ever Sam Stitzer covers since, expanding to nearly 1,000 of the Penns Valley for the 14-by-14-foot canvas dwellings, thus Centre County Gaestablishing the defining tradition of zette. Email him at the Grange Fair. But, the tents are just pennsvalley@ cena small part of the traditions at the fair. trecounty gazette. Here are a few more examples: com. n Trudy Swanger runs one of the skee-ball games at Grange Fair. Her father, Elwood Benner, of Middleburg, brought the trailer-mounted stand to the fair more than 30 years ago. “I’ve come to know many people here at the fair,” she said. “They come every year and play the game.” She travels to many fairs in the state every summer. n John Stover runs the bell ringer stand. Generations of strong men have swung a huge mallet, striking the heavy wooden pivoting beam and sending the metal puck up the vertical tract. For those who are amongst the strongest of the strong men, the puck rings the bell at the top. Stover’s stepmother, Estella Bartlebaugh, of Madisonburg, took over its operation when her husband, Max Bartlebaugh — who had won the stand in a card game — passed away. Estella later married Stover’s father, which brought Stover into the carnival business. He helped with the bell stand and with a ball pitch stand, beginning at age 12. Stover is 70 years old now. The bell stand has been at the same location during Grange Fair since 1949. “My son would like to move it over to a busier midway, but everybody’s so used to it being here,” said Stover. “People say ‘I’ll meet you at the bell,’ and everybody knows where it’s at.” The current bell stand, which Stover built himself, is a replica of the original. n Barry Dutrow, of Centre Hall, and his family have occupied the same tent space next to the headquarters building for 90 years. Dutrow’s grandfather Roy Dutrow worked for the Grange in the 1920s making wooden tent floors.
SAM STITZER
“There used to be food vendors in this row, but in 1924, they added this row of tents,” said Dutrow. “Pap asked if he could have the first one in the row and he got it.” n Gunzey’s food stand has been a familiar favorite of fairgoers for more than 50 years. Formerly known as Hackman’s, the stand was taken over by Harold “Gunzey” Gonzales, of New Columbia, 30 years ago. His daughter Theresa runs the stand now, along with her children and grandchildren, who are the third and fourth generations of the family to work there. The family also sets up food stands at fairs in Bloomsburg, Hughesville, Laurelton and Jersey Shore, and in parking lots at Lowe’s in State College, Mill Hall and Shamokin Dam. n The Boarding House restaurant sits along the midway, just down from headquarters. The building has been there since the early 1890s, and originally was used to house fair visitors in barracks-style accommodations, with rows of dining tables and cots for sleeping. It was run by D.C. Keller, whose property, known as Keller’s Woods, became Grange Park in 1890. The boarding tradition goes back even farther than the building. Keller erected a 48-by-25-foot boarding tent on top of the mountain before Grange Park was established. There were additions were added to the building over the years to provide more kitchen and storage space, and a new roof was installed this year. The interior, with its bare plank walls, exposed roof trusses and wooden tables, has remained much the same for more than a century. It remains a favorite of fairgoers seeking a sit-down restaurant style meal. n Perhaps the oldest tradition of the fair is the annual horseshoe pitching tournament, held in the court located near the Homan Lane entrance, just off Route 45. It’s easy
to imagine Grange Picnic founder Rhone and his contemporaries pitching horseshoes at the very first fairs in the 1870s. Alan Turner and his wife, Betty, have organized these tournaments for several years. The tournament site had been in several locations on the grounds until Betty Turner’s father, Dean Rossman, convinced the fair committee to establish a permanent site. A new pavilion was erected on the site earlier this year with labor supplied by the horseshoe pitchers and some Grange Fair workers. According to Alan Turner, pitchers compete in four classes, A through D, plus a seniors class. “To qualify, each person throws 50 shoes. The eight highest scorers go in the A class,” he said. “Lower scorers compete in the B, C and D classes.” The seniors class provides a venue for competitors such as Simon Schock, 79, and George Jones, 83, to compete against people their own age.

Galway, from page 12 mountains and lily pads rested on the water in the pond that surrounded the monastery. I felt that this was the perfect place for an abbey to proudly sit and welcome the message of religion. Once we arrived to Galway after a very long bus ride, we settled into yet another home-away-from-home in Corrib Village. The apartments were small and reminiscent of dorms, but they would do the trick for the next couple of days. Galway was our shortest stay, so we had to take it all in quickly. While Galway’s pubs are not exactly Temple Bar famous, one pub in downtown Galway has its own history and lore. The King’s Head, located on High Street in the Latin Quarter of downtown Galway, has seen 800 years of history, dating back to the 13th century. It is known for “live music and comedy, good honest hearty food and great craic.” (Craic? Pronounced like “crack,” I honestly thought they were talking about co-

caine. So, when people on the street would say, “Oh, you’ll have a lot of craic there,” I immediately thought that the Irish really liked hard drugs. Thankfully, I was completely wrong — craic actually means “fun,” and the Irish definitely have a lot of it.) The King’s Head is also known for the lore that is behind the centuries-old pub. On a map drawn in 1651, The King’s Head is shown as one of the tallest and most prominent buildings in town. The bank’s castle was attached to the rear of the pub. The building was the home of many famous Irish families, including, in 1654, the mayor of Galway, Thomas Lynch Fitz-Ambrose. King Charles I of England was executed in 1649 and in the years following that, Oliver Cromwell’s army lay siege on Galway and took possession of the mayor’s city and home. From here, others moved into the home where, after time, artifacts were found that named the persons who assisted in the execution of the king. The King’s Head was more than just a pub — it

The walls were stone and you felt as if you just stepped into a castle. The food was delicious and the beer was fantastic, as expected. I was lucky enough to be in Ireland at the same time that the World Cup was going on, so the pubs were lively every night with people yelling at the TV screens just as Americans yell during the Super Bowl. It was fun to be the outsiders in a moment like that and watch another culture obsess over something it loves. Another thing that caught me off-guard was the amount of American music that was played in each and every pub I was in. TLC’s “No Scrubs” would come across the speakers above a bar where Jameson and Smithwick’s were being poured. While traditional Irish music would have been more of a culture shock, we had no problem drinking and singing along to some classic 90s pop. While in Galway, we also traveled to the Aran Islands, which was one of my favorite parts of the trip. We took a bus to a dock where we hopped aboard a ferry for a 45-minute ride. The three islands that make up the Aran Islands sit at the mouth of the Galway Bay. Inishmore is the largest of the three, and the one where we spent the day. As soon as we stepped off of the boat, we headed toward the bike hire so we could rent bikes for the day. We rode the whole way around the island, stopping along the way to either push our bikes up hills that

were just too big or pet horses that would stretch their necks over the stone walls. We also came upon the two cutest little girls who were selling cupcakes and homemade bracelets. While one euro was a little steep for a cupcake, how could we say no? Our next stop on the island was Dun Aonghasa, a prehistoric fort built on the edge of a 100-meter-high cliff. It was breathtaking. Dating back to the Iron Age, circa 1100 BC, Don Aonghasa is a series of four stone walls that originally formed an oval. Being surrounded by centuries-old stones made my imagination soar. I thought of the function of the fort and pictured men building it stone by stone. It is truly mind-boggling. There was also a spot where you could lay down and peer over the cliff. Since I am afraid of heights and the idea of the ground giving out from under me, I stayed far away from the edge. But, the view was still magnificent, nothing like I had ever seen before. Our stay in Galway concluded with visiting W.B. Yeats’ tower, where he spent much of his time writing poems, and a stop at Coole Park. The nature surrounding both sites was so beautiful, it even made me want to write some poetry. The final stop on our Emerald Isle tour will be Allihies, a small quaint village with breathtaking views and a love of literature and the arts. But as with all small towns, some locals have never left, while others are dying to get out. Until next time, cheers!

“It’s just a lot of fun,” said Turner. n The Millheim-based Hosterman and Stover hardware store has been at the fair every year since 1930 in the same spot, supplying campers’ needs with things like rope, duct tape, clothespins, extension cords and the like, as well as toys for the kids. Johnson’s bingo stand has been calling numbers every year at the same spot since 1934. Gross’ french fries stand nearby has been there, serving up what are arguably the best fries at the fair, since 1940. And the list goes on and on. If you try to describe Grange Fair to someone from outside this area, you get blank stares and a response something like, “Huh? Tents?” The fair is a unique event, deeply embedded into the culture of central Pennsylvania. Only when you walk through the tent rows, seeing signs like the Dutrows’ proclaiming 90 years of tenting, can you begin to “get it.” It’s more than a fair, it’s a history lesson. It serves as a monument to the history and traditions of agricultural in rural Pennsylvania. In this ever-changing world, it’s good to experience something constant. The fair is always different, and yet has always been much the same for 140 years. And that feels good to me.

AKRON AT PENN STATE n NOON
n
Word out of Ireland, late on the night of Aug. 30, relayed that because of a swarm of Penn State football fans, supplies of Guiness ale were running critically low in the Temple Bar section of Dublin. This was after Penn State kicker Sam Ficken’s fourth field goal in the Croke Classic sent Penn State to a thrilling 26-24 victory over Central Florida earlier in the day. Yes, that Sam Ficken. He is a senior now and a captain. His four field goals, along with a remarkable first-game performance by quarterback Christian Hackenberg, were instrumental in getting Penn State its first win in James Franklin’s tenure as head coach. Ficken’s winning kick could not have come at a more dramatic moment. Led by quarterback Justin Holman, the Knights rallied from a 10-point, third-quarter deficit to take a 24-23 lead with just 1:13 to play. It was Holman’s 37-yard pass to Josh Reese on a do-or-die, fourth-and-10 that set up the go-ahead score. Penn State took over after the kickoff on its 26, and six plays later, including three completions from Hackenberg to Eugene Lewis, the Lions were on the UCF 19 with just three seconds to play. Ficken stepped up and chipped it just inside the right upright as time expired. The kick set off a wild celebration among players and fans alike, led by Ficken running down the field with both fists in the air trying to avoid being crushed by his

fears. Although Penn State only managed to run the ball for 57 yards on the day, for the most part the line gave Hackenberg the time he needed to throw.

Lion receivers begin post-Robinson era just fine By BEN JONES StateCollege.com
DUBLIN — Allen who? After Penn State’s 26-24 victory over UCF, any questions Nittany Lion fans may have had about the post-Allen Robinson era have now begun to be answered. With seven different players catching a pass and DaeSean Hamilton bringing down 11 balls for 165 yards, it’s clear the remaining receivers are capable of carrying the load. “I think DaeSean is one of those guys who has worked extremely hard,” quarterback Christian Hackenberg said after the game. “He came in with me so I knew the type of player he was. “Just like Geno and our tight ends, when you give him an opportunity he’s going to make the play and make the effort. I think DaeSean’s work effort is the reason why I trusted him so much. He’s a guy who shows up every day at practice and is consistent with what he does. I’m confident in him against any defense. “I think DaeSean just came out and made plays. He got open. He did what he had to do, just like the other guys. Geno made two or three ridiculous catches. The
guys really stepped up and understood what they had to do.” That kind of confidence from Hackenberg can only be good news for the rest of the team. The more he and his targets are on the same page, the fewer mistakes will be made — and more big plays can unfold. Hackenberg may have thrown nearly half his passes to Allen Robinson last season, but that doesn’t mean the players behind him on the roster aren’t talented as well. Even so, starting off on the right foot is a big plus for an offense that is still finding its identity. “I think it’s something we can lean on,” Hackenberg said. “We look to be a wellrounded team. It’s a testament to how hard we worked in the offseason. Everyone thought that was the big question mark (replacing Robinson). “We knew we had playmakers outside. You guys just haven’t seen a lot of them yet. I think these guys will continue to get better. There were mistakes and we have to fix them to get better. Those guys gave us a great foundation today.” That room for growth is what ought to excite Penn State fans. It isn’t as though these players are reaching the end of

is the potential for a lot more growing and learning. And after Saturday’s group effort, that room to grow should worry a lot of opposing defenses.

The good, bad and the ugly UNIVERSITY PARK — With another football season upon us, it’s time to start another year of good, bad and ugly after every Penn State football game. The thrilling 26-24 win over UCF in the season opener provided mostly good highlights. However, we’ve scoured the stats to find a little bad and ugly as well. ■ The good — Christian Hackenberg. If the signal caller is going to suffer a sophomore slump, we didn’t see any signs of it. Hack completed 32 of 47 passes for 454 yards and one touchdown. He looked to be in mid-season form, which could be bad news for the rest of the Big Ten. He tossed a pair of interceptions, but that’s bound to happen when you throw the ball nearly 50 times. ■ The bad — Penn State’s running game was non-existent. Zach Zwinak had just 32 yards and Bill Belton had even less, getting 16 on the ground. The running backs will have to do a better job if this squad is going to have a balanced attack this season. ■ The ugly — Not that it mattered in the end, but the defense looked terrible on UCF’s final drive of the game and gave up a touchdown too easily. The good news was that it left plenty of time for Hackenberg and Co. to drive down the field and get in range for kicker Sam Ficken, who nailed the game-winner as time expired. — Chris Morelli

PENN STATE quarterback Christian Hackenberg found some new receivers on Saturday. The loss of 2013 standout Allen Robinson didn’t hinder the sophomore signal caller.

Ficken adds another kick to catalog of successes and failures By BEN JONES StateCollege.com
JOE HERMITT/AP photo
PENN STATE wideout Geno Lewis (7) makes an acrobatic catch during Saturday’s game with Central Florida in Dublin, Ireland. Lewis beat UCF defensive back Clayton Geathers on the play. Luck, from page 15 and he was able to extend plays and run for some first downs today.” There are things Penn State badly needs to improve, of course, but for the first outing, Franklin was generally upbeat. “We were the away team,” he said. “We had penalties, we had turnovers, we weren’t always perfect. But we found a way to win, and that ingredient is what people are looking for all the time. “We try to instill it in practice, in meetings, you know, what it takes to win and what it takes to be successful. Not only in football, but in life. “There’s nothing that I was disappointed with today because all the things that happened today are opportunities for us to grow. I was pleased with the guys around Hack who stepped up and made plays for him.” Now Penn State will come home to Beaver Stadium for its home opener against
the Akron Zips. Akron began its season last week with a 41-0 whitewash of Howard. The Zips were led by junior quarterback Kyle Pohl who completed 23 of 36 passes for 306 yards and four touchdowns against Howard. Pohl also led Akron in rushing with 48 yards, and he was followed by junior Conor Hundley with 25. Pohl completed passes to 10 different receivers in the game, with senior L.T. Smith hauling in five for 74 yards and a touchdown, and sophomore Mykel Traylor-Bennett catching four for 89 yards and two scores. The Zip defense allowed Howard only 216 yards of offense, and just 68 yards on the ground. For his performance, Pohl was named the MAC East offensive player of the week. The last time the teams played was in 2009 when Penn State won 31-7, but the win was vacated by NCAA sanctions. Kickoff is set for noon.

PENN STATE kicker Sam Ficken nailed the game-winner as time expired at the Croke Park Classic on Aug. 30.
and practice make a difference. It’s all about poise and that’s something Ficken has learned. It’s something Penn State will need more than just during one weekend in Ireland. “I think I have a little more poise through the trials and tribulations of career here,” Ficken said. “I’ve been in that situation before. I’ve succeeded and I’ve failed. To grasp that experience and kind of hone it in and just not worry about what’s around me and focus on the fundamentals. “I didn’t have the poise that I have now when I was a sophomore. Those experiences definitely helped me today.” Ficken gets credit for making all four kicks, as he should — but maybe the wind was on his side.

DUBLIN — “No.” That’s all James Franklin said when asked about wind playing a factor heading into the game this weekend. The breeze wasn’t strong Saturday as Penn State took the field, but it may have just helped the Nittany Lions win the game. “I didn’t hit it real good to be honest,” Sam Ficken said of his game-winning field goal. “I kind of chopped it a little bit. It kind of went up right at the pole, the right post. I was a little nervous it might clink. But the wind pushed it back in. And as soon as I saw it go, I knew it was gonna be good.” For Ficken, Saturday’s performance was another feather in his cap. He posted an impressive 4-for-4 effort including the most important make of all right at the end of the game. While some may say he is getting redemption after some sub-par performances earlier in his career, Ficken has long since pushed that aside. He owns the consecutive makes record and has had a handful of game-winning kicks. Still, the stat book may not come to his aid considering his rocky start. But he has come a long way since the slew of misses against Virginia years ago. In that 2012 game, Ficken missed four field goals and Penn State lost the game 17-16. Even so, Saturday’s kick was his first make with the outcome being do-or-die. Ficken has been strong, he has kicked eventual winners and during overtime, but he hasn’t had a shot to win a game at the buzzer since that fateful Virginia game. So catharsis? Perhaps. “To come out here and to be able to help the team, when you’re presented an opportunity as a kicker, you have to seize that moment,” Ficken said. “Obviously I couldn’t be happier for the guys. It was a hell of a game.” Like every position, time, experience
“I can’t believe the hospital charged me so much for the same thing last year.”

DUBLIN — The contest between Penn State and the University of Central Florida on Aug. 30 was certainly a game to remember, but that doesn’t mean the Nittany Lions have landed back in State College with nothing to fix. There were a lot of positives to take from the game, as well as a few bad things that could have overshadowed an otherwise solid performance. So, for the first time of the 2014 Penn State football season, here are the grades: n Offense — B+ Considering Christian Hackenberg passed for more than 400 yards this should be an easy grade to hand out. But even Hackenberg wasn’t perfect, throwing two interceptions that could have been prevented. In total, the offense would turn the ball over on three occasions, all of which were poorly timed. Penn State would end up with only 57 yards on the ground and the offensive line got little to no push in running situations not involving short yardage. At the end of the day, though, Penn State scored when it had to and made the plays it had to in order to win the game. Seven different players caught a pass and Hackenberg’s record-setting performance is good enough to make up for the mistakes. Scoring 26 points isn’t a bad result, but mistakes took away from what could have been a better showing. Christian Hackenberg: 32-47 for 454 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. n Defense — B On the one hand, Penn State’s defense only gave up 35 yards in the first half. But once UCF switched quarterbacks to one
who was far more capable of running the offense, the Nittany Lions weren’t as dominating. There were some strong individual efforts. In the secondary, Jordan Lucas had three pass deflections and Adrian Amos made some timely plays. Anthony Zettel was impressive as well, with three tackles for a loss, while Mike Hull quietly had 11 tackles. From a numbers perspective, giving up 24 yards of rushing and 222 yards through the air is a very solid outing. The downside is that the majority of those yards came on three separate plays of 37-plus yards. Penn State kept UCF doing what it wanted to do for most of the game, but when it came time to stop the big play the Nittany Lions failed to do so. In nearly every aspect the Nittany Lion defense was strong, but three plays can swing a game, and three plays against UCF opened up the door to that happening. It nearly cost Penn State the game Saturday, and it will against even better teams. Anthony Zettel: one sack, three tackles for a loss, one fumble recovery and six tackles. n Special Teams: ASam Ficken was in many ways the MVP of the game for more than just kicking the game winner. Going 4 for 4 on field goals kept Penn State in the game. The kick return unit wasn’t overly impressive but appears to have potential. Penn State’s kickoff unit struggled on a few occasions and Trevor Williams’ diving tackle saved a touchdown. Chris Gulla’s only punt netted 41 yards, which is more than acceptable. Special teams could have cost Penn State, but they didn’t and that game-winning kick by Ficken saved the day. Standout performer Sam Ficken: 4-of-4 from 22, 24, 33 and 36 yards.

Off to a flying start
State High cruises in Lintal’s first game as head coach By MATT BORTNER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — It doesn’t take long to tell that first year head coach Matt Lintal likes his State College football team a lot. After State College’s 34-20 victory over Spring-Ford at Memorial Field, Lintal was beaming from ear to ear, drenched from a celebratory water bath, while talking about his team. “An ice bucket over the head never felt better. I’m so proud of our kids for the effort they demonstrate and the attitude that they bring out here,” said Lintal. “They stay positive no matter what goes on.” It makes a first year head coach’s job a lot easier when you have a running back like Jordan Misher. Misher, a junior and captain of the Little Lions, had a career day. He carried the ball 27 times for 229 yards and added three touchdowns. Although Misher was quick to deflect the limelight away from himself, the SpringFord defense struggled to bring down the elusive and deceptively powerful running back all night long. “The offensive line did a great job and they worked their tails off in the offseason,” said Misher. “We just executed today and it all fell through.” Spring-Ford provided the Little Lions with a tough test to begin the season. Spring-Ford led once in the first half and

STATE COLLEGE Area High School quarterback John Weakland scrambles for yardage during the Aug. 29 game with Spring-Ford at Memorial Field. The Little Lions won the game, 34-20. once in the second half during the see-saw battle. Spring-Ford quarterback Brandon Leacraft showed of his rocket arm to start the second half, throwing the ball 50 yards and connecting with wide receiver Brandon
Barone for an 80-yard touchdown. The touchdown gave Spring-Ford a 20-17 lead, but State College would take control from there. Leacraft finished the game 8-for-18 for 219 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
State College countered quickly by marching the ball 70 yards on only six plays. Misher punched the ball in on a 19yard run to lead by seven. Neither side then mustered a chance of scoring until early in the fourth quarter when Spring-Ford drove the ball inside State College’s 10-yard line. Wide receiver Ted Dylinski took a jet sweep to the right and a gang of State College tacklers swallowed up the ball carrier for a turnover on downs. Starting quarterback John Weakland, State College’s leading receiver last season, took command, hitting open receivers and handing the ball off to the reliable Misher for the go-ahead touchdown. In his first varsity start, Weakland reveled in the spotlight, throwing for 153 yards, one touchdown and only one interception. “You can’t get enough of playing quarterback,” said Weakland. “I’ve played quarterback all my life and I felt back at home.” State College then finished off its scoring with Kevin Cramer’s second field goal of the night (40 and 27 yards) and another Misher touchdown. On Friday, Sept. 5, the Little Lions will face arguably the toughest team they will see this regular season when they meet Bishop McDevitt at Memorial Field, but Lintal has the whole team believing. “Coach Lintal is a great coach, he made this team 10 times better,” said Misher.
P-O, West Branch rekindle rivalry in classic game By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com
PHILIPSBURG — West Branch and Philipsburg-Osceola sure know how to reignite a rivalry. After their series was discontinued in 1986 because it had gotten too inflamed, the two teams met on Aug. 29 for the first time in 28 years. The game had all the hot intensity of a playoff game and more twists and turns than a Hitchcock movie. It also had a 279-yard rusher in West Branch’s Kris Smeal, two P-O quarterbacks — Tyler Lamb and Jake Anderson — who combined for 335 yards passing and three touchdowns, 17 penalties for a total of 126 yards, and 792 yards of combined offense. West Branch took big early leads and led by 16 points into the fourth quarter. But the Warriors had to hold on through a furious, late rally by the Mounties and barely escaped with a 30-28 win. The loss for P-O marred the debut of new head coach Mike Soyster and his staff, who seemed to be experimenting and putting the pieces of the Mountie offense together as the game progressed. “It’s all still new to them,” Soyster said, “but we’ve been practicing it for three weeks now. We hoped it would click a little better, but that’s part of continuing to grind it out and learn the system.” Yet in the end it came down to P-O’s in-
ability to stop Smeal and the Warrior running game. West Branch broke out to an 18-0 lead after three long scoring drives — 59, 66 and 56 yards — the first three times it had the ball. Creighton Coble opened the scoring with a 12-yard run two minutes into the game. Quarterback Walker Williams followed with a 17-yard run with three minutes to play in the first quarter, and then Smeal made it 18-0 with a 10-yard scamper early in the second quarter. All three drives were exclusively on the ground, and all three tries for the extra point failed. Philipsburg’s offense began to show signs of life midway through the second quarter. The Mounties drove 59 yards in just five plays to cut the Warrior lead to 18-7. Running back Ty Laird did the honors with an 8-yard run, and Aaron Boumerhi added the extra point. The Mounties opened the second half with a chance to cut the lead even more, but a 10-yard run by Laird ended when the ball popped out of his grasp near the right sideline, and West Branch recovered it. The Warriors took advantage with an 11-play, 59-yard march that Smeal capped with a 5-yard run. The touchdown made it 24-7 as the extra point try again failed. “The kids were nervous,” Soyster said, “and we tried to talk to them all week about what it means to be nervous and why. They

The Mounties lost, 30-28. are young, and they have to mature as a team.” P-O closed the gap again to begin a wild fourth quarter. Quarterback Tanner Lamb, who was 8-12 for 164 yards passing in the game, found Caleb Belinda open in the
end zone for an 18-yard touchdown that cut West Branch’s lead to 10 points, 24-14. West Branch responded once more, this time with a five-play, 80-yard march, again P-O, Page 23
Red Raiders fall to Bulldogs in season opener, 31-7 By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com
JERSEY SHORE — In 2013, the Bellefonte Area High School football team had its share of turnovers. In many games, those led to the squad’s demise. It’s a new year, but at the Aug. 29 season opener, the turnovers reared their ugly heads again. A close 9-7 game turned on a couple of ugly interceptions and the Red Raiders wound up losing, 31-7, at Jersey Shore’s Thompson Street Stadium. “It certainly wasn’t a 31-7 (ballgame),” said Bellefonte head coach Shanon Manning. “When we walked into the fourth quarter it was 7-9 and quite honestly I thought we could have been winning the game at that point. When you lose a game,
it is on the head coach, so I take full responsibility for some situations we weren’t prepared for and that is 100 percent on me.” Bellefonte (0-1) certainly had its share of chances. The Red Raiders gave up a touchdown on Jersey Shore’s first drive of the game. Bellefonte kicked off to start the game and Jersey Shore went 65 yards in eight plays before hitting paydirt. Levi Lorson took it in from a yard out. Caleb Koch added the PAT to give the Bulldogs a 7-0 edge with 9:09 left in the first quarter. Jersey Shore (1-0) pushed its lead to 9-0 when the Bulldog defense tackled Bellefonte running back Austin Jackson in the end zone for a safety. Bellefonte had a chance just before halftime to slice into the Jersey Shore lead. Danny Caprio picked off a Jersey Shore
pass and returned it to the red zone. However, the Red Raiders lost yards and got stuffed on fourth down as the half ended with a 9-0 score. Manning said it was difficult to come away with no points there. “It was rough. You need to convert those into points. But truth be told, we have a very young and inexperienced team. We will learn from this,” Manning said. The Red Raiders got back into the game in the third quarter when Dillon Kephart scored from 9 yards out to make 9-7 following a Matt Feldman PAT. The drive covered 76 yards on 10 plays. “I was really proud of the kids. They came out after halftime, went right down the field and scored,” Manning said. But in the fourth quarter, Jersey Shore’s experience and depth took over. Turnovers
led to points as the Bulldogs scored three times in 4½ minutes to blow the game wide open. “We were taking some risks. Let’s be honest — everyone in the park knew we were going to throw the ball. You got to. You gotta take a shot to get back in the ballgame,” Manning said. “We didn’t come down here to lose. We didn’t come down here to play close. We came down to win the football game.” So, it’s back to the drawing board for Manning and Co. He’s now 0-11 in his young career as head coach of the Red Raiders. The Bellefonte losing skid stands at 18 games. Bellefonte is on the road again this week, traveling to Huntingdon. “We will be prepared next week,” Manning said.

BALD EAGLE AREA (0-1) AT P-O (0-1)
PHILIPSBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Both Bald Eagle and PhilipsburgOsceola got off to disappointing starts at their Aug. 29 openers. After leading 7-0 at halftime, BEA gave up three quick touchdown passes to Moshannon Valley and quarterback Eric Sherkel in the span of eight minutes in the third quarter and fell to the Black Knights, 27-7. All three passes by Sherkel came when he was under heavy pressure, but the elusive junior was able to escape and complete passes of 25, 15 and 12 yards that put the Knights ahead 21-7. A 9-yard run by Ryan Thomas in the fourth quarter finished the scoring for Mo-Valley. On offense, BEA was held to 141 total yards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 71 passing and 70 rushing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and was scoreless after the second quarter. This week, the Eagles travel to P-O, another team with a first-week loss. The Mounties amassed 396 yards of offense, mostly through the air, against West Branch, but their last ditch rally fell short in a tense 30-28 loss. P-Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two quarterbacks, Tyler Lamb and Jake Anderson, combined for 335 yards and three touchdowns through the air, but the Mounties had difficulty stopping the running attack of West Branch. This sets up the Friday, Sept. 5, showdown. BEA will have to control the P-O passing game, and the Mounties will have to stop BEAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditionally good running attack. On paper, BEA has a size and numbers advantage, but P-O is very fast and can strike quickly. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
BISHOP MCDEVITT (1-0) AT STATE COLLEGE (1-0)
STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jordan Misherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 226 yards rushing and three touchdowns led the Little Lions to an impressive 34-20 win over Spring-Ford. State High ran up a total of 454 yards for the night in what was a very solid opening performance for new head coach Matt Lintalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team. Next, the Little Lions host Harrisburg powerhouse Bishop McDevitt on Friday, Sept. 5, at Memorial Field. McDevitt, one of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AAA contenders year in and year out, crushed Steelton-Highspire, 56-0, last week. McDevittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quarterback Nick Marsillo completed 16 of 22 passes for 199 yards and three scores, while Andre Robinson ran for 132 yards and two more touchdowns. The leading receiver was Bryce Hall, with seven catches for 78 yards and a touchdown. But the real standout in the game was the McDevitt defense. It gave up nothing to Steel High â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a total of four yards of offense in the game and no pass completions. Throw in five takeaways, and it adds up to a totally dominant performance.

September 4-10, 2014 Week 2, from page 20 State College plays in the tough MidPenn Conference so it is accustomed to playing teams like McDevitt. Yet with the offensive balance and dominant defense that McDevitt will bring in, the Little Lions will have to play error-free. State High almost accomplished that against Spring Ford — just one turnover — so stay tuned. This could be a memorable night. Kickoff at Memorial Field is set for 7 p.m.
BELLEFONTE (0-1) AT HUNTINGDON (0-1)
HUNTINGDON — Improving Bellefonte was in the game last week at Jersey Shore until some late turnovers led to a 31-7 opening night loss. The Red Raiders were still mistakeprone (three interceptions, four fumbles,
The Centre County Gazette one lost) but they were only down 9-7 going into the final 12 minutes of the game. On Friday, Sept. 5, the Raiders travel to Huntingdon, a team that also lost its first game to Mount Union, 53-20. Huntingdon gave up 358 yards of offense to Mount Union, and fell behind 40-0 by halftime. The Bearcats did manage to redeem themselves with 20 second half points, but Mount Union was in control from the very beginning of the game. Junior Hudson Speck is the quarterback for Huntingdon, and he completed four of 12 passes in the game for 71 yards and two touchdowns. Sophomore Noah Glenney was the leading rusher for Huntingdon with 67 yards on just one carry. Jon Wagner caught both of the Huntingdon touchdowns, and had three receptions overall for 48 yards.

This game looks like it will come down to who makes the fewest mistakes. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
CLEARFIELD (0-1) AT PENNS VALLEY (0-1)
SPRING MILLS — This is another matchup between teams that dropped their season openers. Clearfield traveled to play Keyser High School in West Virginia and started off like it didn’t miss a beat after last season. The Bison took a 30-14 halftime lead, but watched as the Golden Tornado scored 29 unanswered points in the second half, including 21 in the fourth quarter, to sprint past Clearfield for a 53-30 victory. Penns Valley meanwhile dropped its opener to Juniata 29-16. The Rams fell behind 14-0 at halftime and brought it to 14-8 going into the final quarter. But Juniata
scored twice in the fourth quarter to make the score 29-8 and held off from there for the win. It’s not as if Penns Valley did not have chances. Twice the Rams drove to within the Juniata 10-yard line, and both times the Rams came away with no points. Those drives were the difference in the game. Penns Valley was led on offense by Wyatt Sharp, who rushed for 162 yards and a score on 17 carries. Quarterback Ben Alexander also carried for 98 yards and added another 106 yards on six of 20 passing attempts. In recent years, Clearfield has had the upper hand against Penns Valley, but the Bison are somewhat in rebuilding mode. This year’s game looks to be a more evenly matched affair, with both teams seeking their first win. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

State High girls win title
ROARING SPRING â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The State College Area High School girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; golf squad won the team title, with two team entries finishing first and second, at the Yurochko Invitational on Aug. 25 at Iron Masters. The teams used a modified Ryder Cup format. The Lady Little Lions pair of Karli Nolan and Emma Schaper had an 88, for first place, while Ashley Stewart and Amber Kustaborder had a 90, for second place.
all on the ground, that made the score 30-14. Smeal, who sparked the drive with a 38-yard run, scored the touchdown on a 17-yard sweep around right end. It was at this point that the P-O staff inserted Jake Anderson to play quarterback and moved Lamb to wide receiver. The move paid off immediately. Anderson began by finding Belinda open for a 41-yard touchdown that cut the lead to 31-21 with just under 10 minutes left on the clock. The Mounties then needed a defensive stop, and they got it, holding West Branch to a three-and-out. Anderson and Co. got the ball back on their own 40 and immediately set off for the end zone. Six plays later, Anderson hit Lamb down the right sideline with a 25-yard strike and a touchdown. Boumerhiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extra point made it 30-28 with 1:34 left to play. West Branch, and all of the standing-room only crowd, knew what was coming next, and the Warriors safely jumped on P-Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s onside kick. Philipsburg had only one Elks, from page 20 Locally, Ken Campbell, of Toftrees, posted a 38-41-79 for fourth and Chuck Colyer, of Nittany Country Club, was fifth shooting an 80. Mountain Viewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Darrell Early posted an 82, while Toftreesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jerry Lauchle carded a 90. In the 70- to 79-year-old age division, Al Kline Sr., of

Soyster said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He fights and shows tremendous heart. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a throwback type of quarterback. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to see the way he played. It was a bright spot. Seeing them (Lamb and Anderson) both play gives us a lot to think about.â&#x20AC;? Smeal finished the night with 279 yards on 35 attempts with three scores, and the Warriors had 396 total rushing yards. West Branch did not complete a pass. Lamb and Anderson combined for 15 completions in 27 attempts for 335 yards and three touchdowns. Belinda had nine catches for 181 yards and two scores, while Lamb had 105 receiving yards and a touchdown. Laird led P-Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rushing attack with 62 yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a positive sign that they did not quit,â&#x20AC;? Soyster said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but we have to clean up a lot of things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They fight, and I can see the passion in them. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up.

Why is Impressionist art so popular? By MELISSA BEATTIE MOSS Special to the Gazette
UNIVERSITY PARK — Imagine throngs of people standing in line for hours waiting to be let inside a room, and once they’ve gained admittance, pushing and elbowing each other to get a better view. Fans at a rock concert? Think again. This has been the scene at almost every major museum exhibit of Impressionist art for several decades, from Manet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art to Monet at the Chicago Art Institute, to Renoir and Pissarro at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts. How did Impressionism come to be the crowd-pleasing blockbuster of the art world? “I think these paintings are so popular because we see ourselves in them,” said Nancy Locke, associate professor of art history at Penn State. “We see the bustle of the modern city, the rise of the suburb, a very modern concern with fashion. Yet in the 19th century, paintings that represented people trying to be modern was a very new thing. Artists had previously painted mythological and historical subjects, not modern subjects.” The Impressionists frequently depicted scenes of leisure, such as cafés, hotels, beaches, gardens and public parks. “We think these subjects are very pleasant, but they were actually very novel for the time,” said Locke, “and the sketch-like style the painters used was initially shocking.” In the mid-19th century, artists in France “had to exhibit in the Salon (a huge annual or biennial exhibition juried by a handful of life members of the French academy) in order to be noticed,” she said. “The Impressionists stopped exhibiting at the Salon, and they began to organize their own independent exhibitions. It would be akin to artists today circumventing the gallery and instead using the Internet and social media to build a following.” Many who attended their first independent exhibition in 1874 viewed the new style as amateurish and unfinished-looking at best, and scandalous and crazy at worst. “Because we’re so comfortable with Im-
pressionist art today, it is hard to understand what was novel and revolutionary about this style of painting,” Locke said. “Taking modernity as a subject, though, was radical in the 1870s, and insofar as the Impressionists painted modernity, they were aligning themselves with predecessors in literature and painting who had already shocked the public in the previous decade or two.” In 1857, she noted, both Flaubert’s “Madame Bovary” and Baudelaire’s “The Flowers of Evil” were put on trial for offending public morality. In painting, both Courbet and Manet had painted nudes that were shocking for their overt references to prostitution. This was a time when the public expected paintings to tell a story and to be edifying and uplifting; instead, the Impressionists painted modern subjects dispassionately. While people today generally view Impressionism as a pretty and contemplative style, “no one looking at an Impressionist painting in the 1870s thought these images were escapist or prettifying,” Locke said. “Most critics claimed that the paintings were horribly ugly, that the people in them looked diseased and dirty, and that the artists must be totally inept.” As tastes changed, the public embraced the looser style, brighter palette and more personal interpretation of the Impressionist movement. Many of the movement’s major figures, such as Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Edgar Degas, experienced success in their own lifetimes. According to Locke, Monet was probably the most influential, lived the longest (he died at his famous home in Giverny at age 86) and had perhaps the greatest commercial and critical success. “Monet invented the Impressionist style almost by accident,” she said. “It was common to try to paint large canvases in order to get noticed at the annual Salon exhibitions,” she said. “He was having trouble making larger paintings that featured the concentrated simplifications of light effects that interested him. Then he decided that some of his sketches had a looser painting style he could continue to use, mostly on smaller easel paint-

THE PAINTING “Luncheon of the Boating Party,” by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, is an example of 19thcentury Impressionist art. ings. He began to blend small brushstrokes less, and to use larger touches that became more mosaic-like on the surface of the canvas. “Artists like Alfred Sisley, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Frédéric Bazille gravitated toward Monet’s subjects and his interest in transitory light effects. Camille Pissarro started out as a landscape painter more in the mold of Corot, and Berthe Morisot as a figure painter influenced by Edouard Manet, but both began to adopt aspects of Monet’s style as well, so it’s fair to say that Monet’s style best represents Impressionism.” What might Monet or the other artists have thought of the immense popularity of their paintings — and related merchandise — today? “If you’re an art historian, it’s hard not to cringe when you see neckties with Van Gogh’s sunflowers and coffee-table books about Impressionist dogs — even though
I own a Cézanne doll!” said Locke, with a laugh. Although the department store began at about the same time as Impressionist painting, and in many ways 19th-century Paris gave birth to the modern consumer society, the extent of the merchandising of Impressionist painting would still have been unimaginable back then. Not that the artists didn’t adapt to the marketplace of their time, noted Locke. “Degas undertook many small pastels because they were easier to sell, and several of the Impressionists painted ladies’ fans for the market. Portraits were a mainstay of Renoir’s because he needed the income. Even though the Impressionists were radical in their time, they were not averse to ‘marketing’ because they were trying to find audiences.” With crowds topping half a million people for major Impressionist exhibits, it’s safe to say they found one.
‘New Normal’ set for The State Theatre By ANNE WALKER
correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — For the second consecutive year, FUSE Productions, under the direction of Richard Biever, will present “The New Normal,” an artistic response to the 9/11 terror attacks. Last year’s performance received an enthusiastic reception, according to Biever. “We weren’t sure it people would want to go back and think about it this way,” he said, “but apparently they do.” “The New Normal” features a local cast performing thought-provoking selections from different shows, as well as three original songs written by Biever. Between songs, performers read words spoken by a variety of leaders during the immediate days following the terror attacks. FUSE intends for the evening to allow the audience to bring to mind the individual experiences associated with 9/11 and the days that followed. “I don’t feel this tells anyone how to feel about it,” Biever emphasized, “but it does give examples of how others felt at that time.” Vocalists will present moving songs including “Somewhere” from “West Side

Story,” “Morning Glow” from “Pippin” and “Children will Listen” from “Into the Woods.” Readings will include excerpts from spiritual texts, sermons, letters and speeches. Following the performance, the audience will have the chance to share personal experiences, connections and insights about 9/11. Such opportunities bring a sense of community to theater and allow everyone to engage with others who may think or feel the same way. “Last year,” Biever recalled, “people shared their own struggles and/or how they knew someone killed that day. It was a deep and moving moment.” Biever hopes that the show can provide comfort to anyone needing it, while allowing the audience to enjoy great songs and to reflect on words that try to make sense of the chaos the nation witnessed. He recalls how, for a brief period of time, ethnic, racial and religious barriers dissolved and we all became simply “Americans.” “No one talked about ‘us versus them.’ It was all about coming together,” he said. The performance will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 11, at The State Theatre. Time to Cruise

Café Laura returns with new look and opportunities By MARJORIE S. MILLER
was the principal designer.
Special to the Gazette
UNIVERSITY PARK — From food preparation to healthier eating choices, the newly renovated Café Laura offers the gamut. The cafe re-opened Aug. 25 and will hold its grand reopening Tuesday, Sept. 9, at 8 a.m., after months of extensive renovations. The student-run restaurant housed in the Mateer Building features new fare stations, a revised design, and a variety of novel equipment and technology. More importantly, the $1.2 million renovation boosts the educational experience for students and enhances dining experiences for customers. The training restaurant for hospitality management students closed for updates in April. Since then, students, faculty, staff and industry professionals have been working around the clock to ensure the eatery is open in time for the fall semester. A partnership between Penn State Housing and Food Services and the School of Hospitality Management, Café Laura is open 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and offers both grab-and-go services and in-house dining. The renovation project, which has been made possible by a number of donations, has been planned for a while, said John O’Neill, director of the School of Hospitality Management. And while work has been done on Café Laura in the last couple of years, this project is “the biggest renovation we’ve had in the building since it opened 20 years ago,” O’Neill said. Scott King, general manager of Café Laura, said the refurbished café is a significant educational piece for students and puts the SHM in a good place nationally. The more students are exposed to modern equipment and technology, as well as trends in the hospitality industry, the more valuable they will be when they enter the workforce, King said. “It’s a showplace,” said O’Neill, and the renovation project has “been a fascinating process” as he and a renovation committee solicited input from students, faculty, staff, alumni and others about design features desired in a renovated Café Laura. George Ruth, senior instructor of hospitality management, and Dave Gingher, director of retail campus dining and catering at HUB Dining at Penn State, were members of the renovation committee. Mesher Shing McNutt, an innovative architecture and interior design firm based in Seattle,
THE STATIONS
The café’s coffee shop has been updated and will continue to feature Starbucks drinks; Penn State Bakery pastries and an Irving’s bagel line will also be available. Additionally, the King’s Espresso Bar, part of the coffee station, was made possible by a donation from Elizabeth King, a Penn State alumna, O’Neill said. A homemade soup and bread bar, which offers gluten-free items and features Penn State Bakery breads, has been added. Another new terminal is a pizza-by-theslice station, in which restaurant-goers can choose a pizza combination with a side salad, as well as strombolis and wedges. A home-style station has also been added, which provides a different homecooked meal selection daily, and features a variety of comfort foods, which are expected to be especially popular in the fall and winter months. Additionally, a char-grill café deli, where customers can create their own specialty sandwiches, has joined the café stations. Options include cheesesteaks and hamburgers, plus a variety of toppings. All deli features come with a side of chips or pretzels. Patrons can also try street food-inspired items, where dishes are created, plated and served in front of customers. One example is skewered chicken. “(It’s) visual to the customer base, which will be really popular because it’s an in-trend thing,” King said about the demonstration component. The Pepsi area, which contains a beverage fountain system with 12 soda selections and four types of Lipton teas, also offers flavored water. Eventually, PepsiCo.’s Pepsi Spire will be available as part of the system. Pepsi Spire is a countertop selfservice unit that allows customers to create up to 40 beverage combinations using a 10-inch touchscreen. There is also a chopped salad area, which King refers to as “the jewel” of Café Laura, since there are no other venues quite like it on campus. The chopped salad bar features exotic and bold “spa” dressings, he said, as well as gluten-free dressings. Customers can choose spinach, mixed greens, chopped romaine lettuce and a hot protein. And for those on the run, there are grab-and-go options, where customers can select from portable items, including va-

CAFE LAURA, on the campus of Penn State University, recently underwent a $1.2 million renovation. nilla and chocolate puddings, freshly made main courses and side salads, Starbucks drinks and fresh Penn State Bakery desserts. Each station at Café Laura has been designed to meet the SHM’s educational objectives, King said, and address a wide range of cooking and preparation techniques, such as braising and roasting.
TECHNOLOGY, DESIGN AND ATMOSPHERE
New chairs, carpets, artwork and window treatments have been updated in Café Laura, and renovations have been made to the ceilings, walls and floors. “We’ve completely opened up the space,” O’Neill said. “I think it will be more visual,” King added. Students were the No. 1 priority in the redesign of the space, Gingher said, with the goal of making their experience better by having a “first class facility.” “It looks great,” he said. “I think we accomplished that.” The vision was to make the facility, which was relatively dated, more current and modern. “Everything’s about the clean look,” he said. “The space didn’t grow, but it looks and feels totally different.” The café’s new technology includes MI-
Builders Association wins awards for best website and best service HARRISBURG — The Pennsylvania Builders Association has been recognized for its outstanding member services with two Association Excellence Awards from the Executive Officers Council of the National Association of Home Builders. “We are greatly honored to have the hard work and dedication of PBA staff recognized with this Association Excellence Award,” said Kevin Coutts, president of PBA. “It is our goal to continuously strive for excellence when it comes to the benefits and services we provide for our members and local builders associations.” The award for best website was given for pbaendorsedtrade.org. This innovative website is an ongoing and dynamic solution to several issues the endorsed trade program was having regarding applications for endorsement, connection to local associations and program students, and immediate information dissemination. The award for best service provided by a state association to a local association was given for PBA’s EOC training and development program. The purpose of this program is to provide low- to no-cost continuing education for local association executive officers in a cost-effective way for the local associations. The Association Excellence
Awards is an annual program designed to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of state and local home builders’ associations and executive officers in the field of association management. EOC membership is comprised of the staff executives who direct nearly 800 NAHB-affiliated state and local home builders’ associations representing more than 140,000 home builders in communities across the United States. “The Association Excellence Awards recognize the outstanding effort, commitment and achievement an executive officer and an association’s membership have made,” said Matt Morrow, president of the EOC and executive officer of the Greater Birmingham Association of Builders in Irondale, Ala. “These awards are well deserved and represent a true showcase of the outstanding work of home builders’ associations around the country.” The winning entries have been added to a searchable directory of AEA winning entries, so that other executives and associations across the country can access and learn from them in order to provide better service to their own members and community. For more information on PBA, visit www.pabuilders.org or contact Melanie Wise at mwise@pabuilders.

CROS Point of Sale equipment, King said. MICROS is enterprise information system software and hardware for the hospitality industry. Students will use computer tablets to mange the floor and assign tables during the evening theme dinners. “It’s the latest and greatest in hospitality technology,” O’Neill said. All of the equipment was donated by MICROS. While lunchtime at Café Laura is often bustling as customers filter in and out, the evening offers a whole new feel. An action station will be open at dinnertime, O’Neill said, so patrons can see students preparing food from where they’re sitting. “(It) will be a very dynamic environment in the evening,” he said. Café Laura’s themed dinners, one aspect the eatery is most known for, begin in September. Dinners will be offered Tuesday through Thursday during the fall and spring semesters. Additionally, the café will house a variety of events and meetings, including for the Penn State Alumni Association. “It’s really a showpiece for the university,” King said. (It’s) really a whole host of different ventures. I look for catering to increase.” Café Laura’s grand reopening celebration will feature a ribbon-cutting ceremony and refreshments.
Student wins trip to London conference UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State Smeal College of Business student Patrick Cines will fly to London next month to attend the Inside Bitcoins: The Business of the Cryptocurrency World conference, thanks to a Twitter contest sponsored by CheapAir.com. The online travel agency sponsored the contest to mark its surpassing of $1.5 million in sales in bitcoin. Cines won with a tweet expressing his interest in helping college students in the United Kingdom set up Bitcoin clubs at their institutions. Cines already has much experience in forming organizations around Bitcoin. Early this year, along with fellow Penn Stater Ryan McCabe, Cines founded the Penn State Bitcoin Club, which quickly grew to an executive team of seven and a total membership of about 20 students. But Cines and his fellow club members didn’t stop at Penn State. They began connecting with other universities to create the much wider College Cryptocurrency Network, for which Cines serves as director of Mid-Atlantic relations. There are currently more than 70 chapters spanning six continents. In addition, Cines will speak at Penn State’s Global Entrepreneurship Week, to be held later this semester. The Small Business Development Center’s Linda Feltman asked him to participate because of Bitcoin’s potential applications in small business. Cines and his executive team have big plans for the upcoming academic year. They plan to bring in monthly speakers and also hope to run a bitcoin hackathon. Additionally, he is currently working with Penn State’s Office of Annual Giving to get them to accept bitcoin donations. “We also want to reach out to area small businesses and help them increase their profits by assisting them in setting their business up to accept bitcoin,” said Cines. He is currently working with a bitcoin payment processor to allow any business the opportunity to reduce their transactions fees to 0 percent.
