BELLEFONTE — The Jeremy Herbstritt Foundation will host a Rachel’s Challenge presentation, a true story of one girl’s dream being fulfilled more than a decade after her death, at 7 p.m. on Sept. 12 at Bellefonte Area High School. The story is that of Rachel Joy Scott’s, who was killed in the Columbine High School shooting on April 20, 1999. Rachel’s Challenge is a series of student empowering programs and strategies that equip students and adults to combat bullying and allay feelings of isolation and despair by creating a culture of kindness and compassion, according to its website, RachelsChallenge.org. The programs are based on the writings of 17-year-old Scott, who left a legacy of reaching out to those who were different, who were picked on by others, or who were new at her school.

EMOTIONAL EVENING: Rachel’s Challenge will make a stop at Bellefonte Area High School on Sept. 12.

A nonprofit organization based in Littleton, Colo., Rachel’s Challenge was started by Rachel’s dad and stepmom. More than 19 million people have been touched by Rachel’s message, according to the website. The Jeremy Herbstritt Foundation is named in honor and memory of the late Jeremy Herbstritt, a Bellefonte native who was killed in the 2007 Virginia Tech shootings. He earned a bachelor of science degree in biochemistry and molecular biology and civil engineering from Penn State, and was a graduate student pursing a master’s degree in civil and environmental engineering at Virginia Tech at the time of his death. The program is recommended for students in sixth grade and above. Bellefonte Area High School is located at 830 E. Bishop St. For more information visit RachelsChallenge.org.

BELLEFONTE — To alleviate parking issues in downtown Bellefonte, the borough council believes the construction of a parking garage may happen sometime in the future. “Parking in downtown is always a concern. It seems like as businesses come and go, parking is an issue. People want more parking, usually closest to the businesses that they are going into,” said Bellefonte Borough Manager Ralph Stewart. Like many other small towns, Bellefonte offers limited space in “surface” parking lots for visitors to downtown. Because of this, Stewart said the borough has been looking at the town’s downtown parking issue for years. “Typically in a downtown or small city or even small city, a parking garage offers additional spaces on the same size surface lot. In other words, we build up instead of across on the property,” he said. Over the last 20 or so years, consul-

tants have completed numerous parking studies to determine possible locations for a garage. One location, on the corner of Spring and West Bishop, has come up many times in discussions as the best possible placement. As this space currently includes retail businesses such as the Waffle Shop and a cigarette outlet store, the borough is looking to add retail space within the garage. “We had thought about incorporating those businesses at a minimum if we were to build on that corner, that way we would not displace the business,” Stewart said. “We want to encourage businesses to stay in the downtown and we want to incorporate them into the structure.” Though the garage may be more in discussion now than it has been in years past, Stewart said there is no real timeline or budget for the project currently. A significant part of this is due to financial reasons. “In order for this to become a reality, we, the borough, would need to partner

CCG: How much fun is it to come to the ballpark and broadcast baseball games during a pennant race? SJ: It is a lot of fun. It’s very relaxing, it’s neat to watch winning baseball. And for somebody who was here in 2008 when they won 18 games to now see them get a 10game winning streak, which is slightly more than half that win total, it’s a lot fun. And I think it’s caught on with the fans. It’s exciting to watch seven walk-off wins, four others in their last at-bat when they’ve been on the road or extra innings. You really can’t put a price on the entertainment of that and the fact that you can’t wait to see what they’re going to do next.

CCG:What was the transition like to broadcasting baseball games? SJ: I had done some baseball before on 1450AM back in the 1980s and a couple AllStar games here and there in the 1990s, but I really hadn’t done a lot; I’d say, probably fewer than 30 games. But you can’t grow up in New England as a Red Sox fan and not follow baseball on an everyday basis, and once I settled in, I settled in. And I’ll be honest: BILL KOSTROUN/The Associated Press

The Penn State Effect

Four of five schools beef up policy following sex abuse scandal By EDDIE PELLS

The Associated Press

As they watched Penn State struggle to contain a child sex-abuse scandal that ruined its once-pristine name and took down the mightiest of college coaches, schools around the country realized they needed to examine what they were doing so they wouldn’t see their reputations destroyed, as well. At Mississippi, administrators passed a rule stating nobody 18 or over could have one-on-one contact with a minor. At Kansas, they rewrote the language in their bylaws stating, in no uncertain terms, that any employee who didn’t comply with rules about reporting sex crimes could be fired. To keep better tabs on who comes and goes from its campus, Stanford started running all its kids camps in-house instead of letting coaches run them independently. And Southern California brought in none other than Louis Freeh, the former FBI director who wrote the report on the failings at Penn State, to brief top brass on what good policies and rules should look like. In all, 55 of 69 BCS football schools — 79.7 percent of those playing at the highest level in college — either reviewed or strengthened their policies regarding minors on campus in the wake of the case involving Jerry Sandusky, an Associated Press review found. “The conversation started the minute the Penn State situation was made public,” said Mississippi associate athletic director Lynnette Johnson, who called the 18-andover policy the lynchpin of the changes at their campus in Oxford, Miss. “We’ve been looking at our policies for quite some time and we wanted to build something that’s comprehensive, manageable and can actually be enforced.” While schools were rewriting their rules, no fewer than 32 state governments were also reviewing their statutes, with at least 18 of those adopting new laws, most of them adding university employees and volunteers to the list of those required to report child sex abuse. In November 2011, Sandusky, the former Penn State assistant coach, was arrested on 40 child sexual abuse counts. Additional counts were included in December, and some were dropped at the start of his trial. In the end, he was convicted on 45 of those counts and is serving a prison term of 30 to 60 years. Within days of his arrest, coach Joe Paterno was fired and the school president, Graham Spanier, was forced out. A July 2012 report authored by Freeh detailed the flaws at Penn State and offered recommendations for change at the university. Penn State established a “Progress” website detailing the multiple changes it is making in response to the scandal and the report. But Penn State was hardly the only school that performed an unflinching review of its policies. The AP canvassed the 69 schools in the BCS conferences in 2012, along with Notre

Dame, and found that, in addition to the 55 that said they reviewed or changed their rules in response to the Sandusky case, another 12 had recently done that work in response to a push from the U.S. Department of Education, or because of incidents that occurred on their own campuses or laws passed in their states. “We didn’t want to be in a position where we could say it couldn’t happen here,” said Mark Land, spokesman at Indiana University, one of the universities that reviewed and beefed up its policies. “Penn State is a great university and does great things, and it happened there, so we felt like if we didn’t learn something from Penn State, that was on us.” Two schools, Oklahoma and South Carolina, reported no action: South Carolina sent AP a copy of its sexual-harassment policy, last revised in 2010; Oklahoma said its policies are under constant scrutiny, though events elsewhere don’t trigger changes. Not that rules can prevent everything. Before the scandal at Penn State, the university had a long list of rules on the books that were in line with what existed at other schools. Despite that, the Freeh Report noted that 234 of 735 coaches paid to work at summer sports camps in 2009 didn’t have their required background checks completed before their camp began. David Finkelhor of the University of New Hampshire’s Crimes Against Children Research Center said anecdotes like that help explain why new policies and laws are important, but maybe not as important as the light shed on the issue of child sex abuse because of the Sandusky case. “I don’t think the problem at Penn State was that they didn’t have enough rules, or that they didn’t have a mandatory law that required this reporting,” Finkelhor said. “I think the problem was that they didn’t have a higher level of awareness about the problem itself and they thought they could kind of get away with the way they were handling it.” In searching the states, AP reporters across the country checked databases from the last two years of legislation. The AP also referred to the National Conference of State Legislatures, which has tracked Sandusky-related bills. In Florida, the Legislature passed what many are calling the most expansive reporting law in the country. It includes fines of up to $1 million on any university whose administration or campus police knowingly fail to report child abuse on campus. Several campuses around the state reacted, as well. “As an institution, we had very sound policies in place,” Miami athletic director Blake James said. “I think it was obviously a real reminder to everyone of the need to make sure that all policies are being followed, and in certain cases there was the elevation of analysis that was put in place.” The overwhelming number of schools and states that made changes in a relatively short amount of time runs counter to the normally slow-moving wheels of state governments and university boardrooms. The action reflects what Mark Chaffin, who di-

rects research at the Center on Child Abuse and Neglect at University of Oklahoma, said was a much-needed continuation of moves to protect children that have been triggered by sex scandals at child-serving organizations, including the Catholic church and the Boy Scouts. “Given everything that’s been in the news, it’s not too surprising that universities would start to put out some policies and do some education,” Chaffin said. When the universities did their reviews, some administrators were surprised at the number of minors who come to their campuses for a variety of programs that extend well beyond football camps. At Minnesota, for instance, up to 300,000 minors visit campus — 114,000 of them for 4H club events. A 10-year review of campus crime statistics there revealed four cases involving minors. One of those cases resulted in charges in 2000 when the victim came forward. “We thought this was a pretty safe place,” university general counsel Bill Donohue said. Nevertheless, the school beefed up its policy and added language that specifically applied to the safety of minors on campus. In Texas, state legislators passed guidelines in 2011 — before the Sandusky case made headlines — for minors attending camps. The law applied to camps with at least 20 campers who spend four days on campus. “That’s a big loophole,” Texas Tech athletic department spokesman Blayne Beal said. “We wanted more stringent than that.” So, in May, the school passed a tougher rule putting the guidelines in place for any program that brings minors in, regardless of the number of children or duration of their stay. “I think everybody took a look at themselves and what they were doing, what they weren’t doing, to make sure that the

policies they had in place were the best for young people and were best to protect the institution,” Beal said. In addition to bringing in Freeh, who has a child enrolled at the Los Angeles school, USC also hired an outside consultant who helped put in place an awareness campaign for people on facilities staff and janitors — the so-called “first eyes” — who might be the first to witness a crime involving children. At Auburn, and a handful of other schools, the review found departments across campus had several rules on the books but had never consolidated them in one place. “Unfortunately, at times, it takes a shocking event happening somewhere else to make you aware that you may have some deficiencies that need looking into yourself,” said Chris O’Gwynn, who heads Auburn’s risk management and safety department. “Penn State did cause us to want to look at that and do something from a generalized campus approach.”

September 5-11, 2013

Best seat, from page 1 People always tell me, “You do Penn State football and you’ve done NCAA basketball tournaments and things like that.” To me, June, July, August, I really love doing baseball, being in the park on a summer evening, seeing the sun shine, the transition to the evening, the fans, the smells, the sounds, and plus, the Spikes are unlike any other minor league club I can imagine. This is such a first-class organization. If a piece of paper falls on the concourse, they’ve got five people swooping down to make sure it’s taken out of there. They’re fan-friendly, customer-friendly, community-friendly, they’re the kind of people you love working with and working for. I have a blast. CCG: From the outside looking in, baseball has this perception as being more relaxed than football or basketball. For you, what’s the energy level like when you come to the ballpark, compared to Beaver Stadium or the Bryce Jordan Center? SJ: They’re all different sports, so each one brings with it a different moment, but baseball is a lot like football or basketball. In football, there really are five to 10 plays that swing every game. In basketball, there are five to 10 plays that swing that game, whether defensively or offensively. In baseball, there are probably five or six really key moments in a game and you have to be able to understand when that moment happens, capture it, and when something exciting happens, you have to then raise your level. For the most part, though, you’re in a conversation with the listeners, but the concept of painting the picture is the same. CCG: Listening to you and Joe Putnam during the broadcast, it seems like you two have really good chemistry. How did that partnership take shape? SJ: First of all, Joe is two things: Joe is, first and foremost, just an absolutely great guy. If you don’t like Joe Putnam, you don’t like people. OK, simple as that. And number two, he’s an outstanding broadcaster. He really paints a great picture, he’s so in tune with the team, he knows the guys, he knows the promotions and everything that goes with it. It’s easy because he’s a lot like Jack Ham and Dick Jerardi in this regard: Jack, Dick and Joe, not one of them has an ego among the three of them. And when you’re working with people who don’t have any ego, they just want to do what’s best for the broadcast and have the ability to roll and have fun and you’re friends, I think that comes across. Joe and I are really good friends. We’re really good friends away from the broadcast, so when it comes to being on the air and having fun and kidding around with each other, we can do that because we’re already friends to begin with, so nothing’s forced.

And he’s really smart, he really knows the game. It’s more than knowing the game, you have to have a real feel for things to do this and he has a real feel for it. He’s a hard worker. CCG: For State College and the people who live here, what’s the value of having a minor league baseball team? SJ: I always wanted minor league baseball here. I always felt there was a huge void in the summertime here for the many years I lived here. I felt that it was Penn State football season, then it was, for me, men’s basketball season, but for some other people, obviously, wrestling season or for some people, women’s basketball season.

void in an area that loves sports. People love sports here. … When this whole thing came together and then they built this mini-palace, it was all done in such a first-class way and I think the people have really responded to it. You’re talking about from the first week, second week of June into the first week of September and now maybe even a little bit longer because of the successful team, where this absolutely fills the sports appetite of an area that loves its sports. … This has become a great community place for people to be in the summertime and enjoy sports at the same time. CCG: For this year’s team, what’s been the biggest difference from previous teams that’s allowed these guys to reach that playoff level? SJ: Talent. Talent is always the biggest determining factor in anything. It’s an individual sport and you look at the first team that they had here in 2006. They had nine guys off that team make the major leagues. Nine. From an allstar in Allen Craig to one of the more dependable seventh-, eighth-, ninth-inning guys in Luke Gregerson to a closer like Jason Motte. They had a lot of talent on that team. The other teams that the Pirates had here had individuals that sparkled and moved on to the major leagues … but the difference is that this team has a far greater collection of talent together at the same time. But they’ve also been able to back it up, that in the late innings, there is a calm about this team and a confidence, because success breeds success. CCG: What remains the best part about coming to the ballpark? SJ: Sitting in this seat. Sitting in this seat, looking out onto the field, seeing Mount Nittany in back of centerfield, you feel like you’re in the best seat in the house. I feel like when I’m doing a Penn State football game, Jack Ham’s there, I have the best seat in the house. When I do a Penn State basketball game at the Jordan Center, I have Dick Jerardi next to me, I have the best seat in the house. I come in here, on a beautiful summer night, the sights, the sounds, the smells of the ballpark right all around me, surrounding me, I feel like with Joe next to me, I’ve got the best seat in the house.

Patient views PSU’s Dance Marathon from both sides By ADAM LIDGETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — For Penn State junior Ashley Randolph — a healthy, active young woman — having cancer was against the odds. And it took a stroke of luck to discover what was wrong. Randolph, 20, of Honesdale, went to University Health Services after a sneeze left her in excruciating pain. Thinking she had pulled a muscle in her back, she was hoping to get some medicine to help with the pain. UHS did the usual tests, including taking an X-ray of her lungs to make sure they hadn’t collapsed. Instead, doctors found a small black spot on her right lung. Only after a CT scan at Mount Nittany Medical Center did Randolph know that she had a tumor on her right lung. “I was shocked,” Randolph said. “After I told my mom I had a black spot on my lung, she kept asking questions, but I didn’t know anything more about it than she did.” After two bronchoscopies (tests to view the airways and diagnose various lung diseases) she was diagnosed with stage II lung cancer in November 2012. That meant the cancer had spread to lymph nodes around her lungs. Even though she was still enrolled as a sophomore, Randolph began to miss so many classes as a result of her medical examinations she had to drop out of school. That December surgeons removed a tumor the size of a golf ball, along with 20 percent of her right lung. After the surgery, Randoph had multiple rounds of chemotherapy and radiation. She received her final round of radiation on June 14. Even though it’s been months since she was deemed cancer-free, Randolph said she can still feel the aftereffects. “I have a scar that runs along my back where they went in and moved my ribs to get to the lung,” Randolph said. “Even still

it’s sore, and it hurts when you touch it.” After her surgery to remove to tumor, Randolph became a THON child. Randolph said she had been to the Interfraternity Council/Panhellenic Dance Marathon her freshman year, but the experience she had attending her second THON, this time as a THON child, was completely different. “[The two experiences] were so far apart,” Randolph said. “the second time it was so much more emotional. It was like ‘wow, these people aren’t just here for everyone else, they are here for me now.’” For Randolph, cancer did not come from a history of smoking or being around smokers, but rather from a genetic mutation called anaplastic lymphoma kinase, something she said is not inherited from her parents or can be passed down to her children — just pure chance. But from this experience, Randolph said she wants to let people know that lung cancer doesn’t just happen to smokers or the elderly — it can happen to anyone. Randolph now attends lung cancer treatment fundraisers such as Free to Breathe to let people know of her story, and wants to dance in THON as a senior. “I can’t help but think sometimes ‘what if I didn’t pull that muscle?’” Randolph said. Randolph said the experience she had makes her want to speed her life up — not only because she realizes how short life can be, but also because the cancer could come back at any time. Randolph is still recovering from her ordeal, and sometimes has to take naps. She’s had to freeze her eggs because radiation can cause infertility. She has lost some friends along the way. But, mostly, she wants to continue her studies in kinesiology and plans to become a physical therapist. “I always think about the future,” Randolph said. “I want to start my life. I want to get married and have kids and have a house because now I never know what’s in store.”

It actually is rocket science at Penn State’s Applied Research Lab From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — Rocket engines will soon be blazing away in a series of tests at Penn State’s University Park campus, enabling students to gain a better understanding of rocket performance and share some of their knowledge with NASA, according to an agreement reached between the University’s Applied Research Laboratory and NASA’s Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center. The space center will provide bipropellant rockets — liquid methane/liquid oxygen control engines — that it developed to the ARL’s Space Systems Initiative for testing and characterization. The first of these engines has already arrived. According to Michael V. Paul, who heads the Space Systems Initiative, more

than 80 undergraduate and graduate students will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the safe design, construction and operation of high pressure cryogenic systems and rocket engines. Paul also directs the Penn State Lunar Lion team, part of the Google Lunar XPRIZE, which plans to send a vehicle to the moon, take off from the lunar surface, and land again some distance away. “The purpose of the rocket testing program is to qualify engines for use in the construction of a Vertical Takeoff Vertical Landing vehicle,” said Paul. “This is the prototype for the Lunar Lion, the craft that we expect to win the Google Lunar XPRIZE. We will leverage the results of our collaboration with NASA for the benefit of our team. It will be a particularly valuable experience for the students working on the project.”

State College police release crime statistics By ADAM LIDGETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — State College Police released it’s annual Report to the Community for 2012 this week, revealing a downturn in crime from 2011. The report prominently details the violent crimes that have occurred in the area. Assault accounts for 87 percent of all violent crimes in State College, while rape accounts for 5.7 percent, according to the report. State College Police responded to 193 violent crimes in 2012. Violent personal injury crime — which includes murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault — is down 7 percent from 2011. Lesser property crimes — including burglary, theft and arson — declined by 11 percent. State College Police Chief Tom King said there are programs in place to curb these crimes, such as bike patrols on the weekends, but he could not say with certainty if the reason behind the crime drop is because of those programs. Of the nearly 2,760 arrests that occurred in State College in 2012, 29.9 percent were alcohol related. According to the report, police acknowledge that alcohol abuse is one of the greatest issues that State College has to grapple with. To combat drinking issues, police have partnered with community groups and faith-based organizations as well as Penn State.

King said police have a number of programs to help curb dangerous drinking. That includes a program known as F8, which uses several area police agencies to assertively enforce neighborhood ordinances early during Penn State’s fall semester. There’s also the Neighborhood Enforcement Alcohol Team (NEAT), which allocates two officers to the Highlands neighborhood during the weekends to focus on nuisance crimes like noise and criminal mischief. King also included in the report a staffing study he conducted in an attempt to get a small increase in the police force to meet the community needs. Currently, the State College Borough employs 64 officers, with a budget to hire 65 officers. King indicates in the report that State College Police should ideally have 69 officers on staff. King said in the report that the current workload demands of officers are very heavy, and it would be better for the community’s safety to have more officers working. King believes additional officers would improve response time. The number of officers needed depends on whether it is day or night, the report says. More officers are placed in an area at night in case they have to deal with calls relating to drunken driving, assault and underage drinking, as these are mostly seen at night.

AREA RESTAURANTS, like Ni Hao in the Northland Center, saw a spike in business on Labor Day. Although it was a national holiday, most restaurants remained open.

Restaurants see boom on Labor Day By ADAM LIDGETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — Though many in the community had a day off work this Labor Day, State College restaurants stayed open to feed the hungry masses, and saw a boom in business. Most restaurants stayed open, including Jersey Mike’s Subs, the Fraser Street Deli and Bill Pickle’s Tap Room, and some, such as the Corner Room, saw many customers in walk through their doors. “(Penn State students) are off school and even the elementary school kids are off so they come here with their parents,” Kyle Zoscin, one of the managers of the Corner Room, said. “We are much busier than we thought we would be today.” Twila Sharbaugh, the other manager of the Corner Room, said that the restaurant usually does see people

come in on the holidays, but they were still quite busy this Labor Day, as most of the tables were filled. Sharbaugh said the only day the Corner Room isn’t open is Christmas day. Marley Wong, owner of the Green Bowl, stays open on Labor Day because “there is obviously a demand for it,” she said as she pointed to a room full of diners. “People like to go out on small holidays like this, and they definitely don’t want to cook at home,” Wong said. Wong said her restaurant closes on the major holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas, but that they stay open on the minor ones as restaurant people “operate on a different schedule than most everyone else.” Jon Keller, manager of Irving’s, said they were much busier than usual all day. Keller said that they were busier than the average weekday or the average Labor Day. Keller also said smoothies were the top selling items today, as the weather was warmer than usual. Parking, from page 1 with another entity, maybe the county government or a private entity, to make it all work out financially,” Stewart said. “Right now it is an ongoing discussion and something that we have on the radar.” Because of the cost of construction and maintenance, borough officials worry about that a parking garage would not make a profit. Costs for parking garages typically are not subsidized by taxes. Instead they are paid for by the parking fees, rates and expenses. With construction costs alone averaging between $20,000 and $30,000 a parking space and substantial yearly maintenance costs, Stewart said partnering with another business or entity would greatly help the borough. “As new territory for us in a small community, a lot of the smaller communities have parking garages and they do not break even,” he said. “When that happens, the tax

base has to help out, has to subsidize. We do not want to see that. We want to see the garage, if we have one, pay for itself.” Another reason the garage planning will take time relates to the architecture of the structure. As downtown Bellefonte is a historic district, any new structure needs to be compatible from an architectural standpoint with historic buildings. Stewart said the parking garage would not have to mirror buildings built more than a hundred years ago, but the two structures would need to be wellmatched. “The architecture is important to us whether it’s the parking garage or a new building of any kind. Because it’s in a historic district, that is the regulation. We’re only applying to ourselves what we would apply to anyone else,” he said. Though more details need to be worked out, ultimately the borough would like to see a parking garage built within a few years to add opportunity for those visiting local businesses and special events. “There’s a lot of opportunity that we think it would help our downtown prosper,” Stewart said.

UNIVERSITY PARK — “One Hundred Years of Solitude” is a widely beloved and acclaimed novel that chronicles the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendia family, and the tragicomedy of humankind. The College of the Liberal Arts and various departments and centers are organizing a marathon 24-hour reading of the novel, beginning on Sept. 5, at 1 p.m., on the lawn in front of Pattee and Paterno libraries. The event is free and open to the public to attend and to participate. Students and faculty are invited to camp out overnight and bring appropriate equipment. Pizza and breakfast will be provided by event sponsors. Select readers will take turns reading aloud for approximately five minutes each throughout the event. Students, faculty, staff, alumni, friends, and community residents are invited to sign up to read aloud by emailing marathonread@psu.edu. But it is not necessary to make a reservation in order to read. Some participants will read aloud in Spanish, and organizers also will have available translations in French, German, and Chinese for anyone versed in those languages. Penn State Distinguished Alumna Sue Paterno will begin reading at 1 p.m. Thursday, followed by State College Mayor Elizabeth Goreham, and senior university administrators. Women’s basketball coaches will wrap up the event on Friday. “This event was a tremendous success last year, bringing together dozens of students, faculty and community members in a public space and showcasing the power of ideas, discussion, and learning,” said Christopher Reed, professor of English and visual culture, and a key organizer. “We launched the Marathon Reading last year with ‘Catch-22,’ which has origins on the Penn State campus, but this year, we chose ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’ to celebrate Penn State’s commitment to diversity and international perspectives. Many people consider the novel’s opening line as one of the greatest first lines in literature: ‘Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendia was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.’” Sponsors are the College of the Liberal Arts, School of Languages and Literatures, Department of English, Department of Comparative Literature, Department of Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese, Department of French and Francophone Studies, Paterno Fellows Program, Center for Democratic Deliberation, and Center for American Literary Studies.

Do schools need Common Core? Back to school for millions of American children this year means a new set of academic standards. Called the Common Core State Standards Initiative, the new national benchmarks will help U.S. students compete with their peers internationally and leave them better prepared for college and work, proponents say. Forty-five states and the District of Columbia adopted the Common Core in 2010, enticed by Obama administration waivers to federal accountability rules as well as billions in Race to the Top funds. But a number of states are having second thoughts about the standards. Critics contend they’re too expensive and too intrusive on state prerogatives. Are the Common Core standards really necessary? Or just another case of federal overreach? Columnists Ben Boychuk and Joel Mathis weigh in.

BEN BOYCHUK

Most parents have no idea what the Common Core has in store for their kids. A recent Phi Delta Kappa/Gallup Poll found that two-thirds of Americans didn’t know the standards even existed. They’re in for a shock. The Common Core was sold as a voluntary, state-based solution to the problem of inconsisBen Boychuk, tent academic bboychuk@cityjournal.org, is standards. Unassociate editor of fortunately, the City Journal. standards didn’t remain voluntary for long. The Obama administration in 2010 told cash-strapped state officials they would need to adopt the standards if they wanted a cut of the billions in one-time federal education stimulus funds. Incredibly, only a handful of states refused. But the real problem with the

BEN BOYCHUK

Common Core isn’t that the standards are one more way for the feds to take over K-12 education — though that’s bad. No, the problem is the standards just aren’t very good. Common Core math is a rehash of the “new math” of yore, stressing “real world problems,” “higher-order thinking” and “collaborative learning,” at the expense of rudiments, practical skills and memorization. Worse, the Common Core language frameworks diminish the role of literature in favor of reading more nonfiction, such as “informational texts,” technical manuals, even newspaper editorials. What could be drearier? The United States has spent billions over the decades to raise academic standards and demand greater accountability, but even our advanced students seem to know little worth knowing. If you doubt it, peruse the National Assessment of Educational Progress, better known as “the nation’s report card.” U.S. fourth-, eighth- and 12th graders have shown little improvement in math, reading, civics, science or history in the past 20 years. It’s fair to say they’ve stagnated. Lost in the drive for “college and career readiness,” as the edu-wonks say, is the original purpose of American public education: to make good citizens, as opposed to productive employees. Viewed in that light, the Common Core is simply a new gloss on the same old faddish nonsense. In a few years, we may have a nation full of magnificent test-takers adept at “processing information” — but they won’t be educated in the least.

JOEL MATHIS

Defending the Common Core standards shouldn’t be that difficult. Despite the conservative love of local decision-making about education, English — the formal, written kind — isn’t any different in Louisiana than it is in Oregon. Math? The same in Massachusetts as it is in New Mexico. There’s no reason, really, to expect kids in one part of the country to learn less than kids in

another, is there? But Common Core also seems kind of irrelevant to the problems facing education where I live. Forgive me for being provincial in my concerns: I live in Philadelphia, where my son begins kindergarten this fall at a public school. The school district is a mess — as of this writing, the teachers still don’t have a contract for the school year, the district is tens of millions of dollars short of the funds needed to operate, and so many schools have closed that many students will be venturing outside their neighborhoods to go to class. There’s plenty of blame to go around. The city originally ran the schools into the ground, years ago. The state took over the schools more than a decade ago, but lately Republican Gov. Tom Corbett has slashed funding to local districts. The teachers’ pensions are becoming a bigger drain on the budget, yes, but the local teachers are also underpaid compared to their counterparts in the rest of southeastern Pennsylvania. There’s violence and poverty and all the rest. Everybody’s to blame and nobody’s fixing anything. My kid’s school? Still has a good reputation. But the principal is asking parents to donate $613 per child this year. The only Joel Mathis, way to preserve joelmmathis@ a good public gmail.com, is a school, it seems writer in is to operate it Philadelphia. like it’s a quasiprivate school. That obviously won’t work in the poorer parts of town. These are not just Philadelphia problems. But Common Core standards don’t really address them. The standards deserve a defense, probably: I’m just too worried about my own kid’s education to offer one.

GOP looks to defund Obamacare DeROY MURDOCK

Scripps-Howard News Service

Yet again, congressional Republicans have backed themselves into a corner by believing the left’s antiGOP talking points — this time on Obamacare. “Shutting down the government just because I’m for keeping it open? That’s not an economic plan,” President Barack Obama said in Florida last month. “Defunding the Affordable Care Act is not achievable through shutting down the federal government,” parroted Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C. As Republican senators Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Rand Paul and Marco Rubio keep repeating, they aim to shut down nothing. They want a continuing resolution that funds the entire federal government, except for the new health care reform law. If Obama signs such a measure, the Federal Aviation Administration will keep controlling jet traffic, and the FBI will keep tracking terrorists. But Obamacare’s cash will evaporate, as well it should. Conversely, if Obama vetoes such a budget bill, he — not Republicans — may jeopardize federal operations while ignoring the 54 percent of Americans who disapproved of Obamacare in the latest Rasmussen survey. Republican lawmakers should stop quivering in fear of a president with a 44 percent Gallup job-approval rating. With a little courage and creativity, Republicans could fight the defunding battle effectively — if not to immediate victory, then to this dreadful program’s ultimate detri-

ment. First, Republicans control the House of Representatives, the birthplace of spending bills. They should exercise their constitutional power and imminently consider language that funds everything but Obamacare. Second, Republicans should adopt the left’s practice of giving bills delicious titles. How can they counter liberal claims that they want to padlock Washington? Call their Obamacaredefunding vehicle the Keep Government Open Act of 2013. Third, the House should pass this bill immediately after Congress reconvenes Sept. 10. This legislation then would define the public debate until Oct. 1. Democrats cannot accuse Republicans of closing the government if the GOP gives Senate Democrats and Obama nearly three weeks to respond to the House proposal. This early vote also will put House Democrats on the record. Do they stand with Americans who face rising premiums and are losing their insurance, even if they like it, or do they stand with Obama, who illegally has decreed exemptions and delays to keep Obamacare wheezing along? Fourth, with news cameras present, House Republicans should march this physical bill across the U.S. Capitol. Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, should declare: “We hereby deliver this measure to the Democratic Senate to complete the people’s work and keep America’s government open.” Fifth, while the Senate debates this bill, House hearings throughout September should showcase Obamacare’s victims. These might include

Americans who now work part time, as their employers confront Obamacare’s rising costs. Medical-device manufacturers should detail how Obamacare’s fresh tax is unplugging new treatments. Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa Jr. should explain why he wrote that Obamacare would “destroy the foundation of the 40-hour work week that is the backbone of the American middle class.” If public pressure prods enough Democrats to join Republicans in defunding Obamacare, perhaps Obama himself will accept this for one year. Failing that, the GOP fallback position may be to place the program’s funds in escrow in exchange for a one-year implementation delay. Some Republicans simply would let Obamacare rip. Once functioning, they argue, Obamacare’s costs will explode as its “benefits” collapse. The rebellious American people then will demand to have Obamacare’s fangs dislodged from their necks. But how? Repealing Obamacare post-implementation still will require congressional approval and Obama’s signature. If that, essentially, is the battle Republicans would wage later, why not sooner? “The problem with defunding is that on Jan. 1 Obamacare still will be the law,” Rep. Duncan D. Hunter, RCalif., told constituents in Fallbrook, Calif., last week. “That’s why we need to repeal it.” But defunding vs. repeal is no either-or proposition. It’s both: If a hostile tank prepares to roll into town and unleash doom, go look for anti-tank grenades. Meanwhile, drain its fuel.

Study assesses teen drivers diagnosed with ADHD From Gazette staff reports DANVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Teen drivers diagnosed with attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were found to have more variability in their speed and tended to veer out of their lane more frequently than teens without ADHD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and texting just made their performance worse. These findings were recorded as part of a new study led by Megan Narad, a Geisinger Medical Center clinical psychology resident. She and seven other researchers from the Center for ADHD at Cincinnati Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital Medical Center studied the performances of 61 new teen drivers (28 with ADHD, 33 without) during 40-minute tests on a driving simulator under three conditions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no distraction, cell phone conversation, and texting. Their study was published in the Aug. 12 edition of JAMA Pediatrics, and is the first to assess the combined effects of ADHD, driving inexperience and cell phone distraction/texting among teen drivers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some studies on texting and driving, others on ADHD and driving, and some on even novice driving, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not one that looks at all three of those driving risk factors,â&#x20AC;? said Narad, who conducted the research for her doctoral dissertation at the University of Cincinnati. Prior to their simulations, a much larger proportion of ADHD subjects reported receiving at least one traffic violation (17 percent) compared with the non-ADHD subjects (6 percent). The researchers chose to test ADHD subjects

without medication to more accurately evaluate their ADHD-related deficits. The effects of cell phone distraction were found to be large and evident for all subjects, resulting in changes in average speed, speed variability and variability of lane position. Texting was the most impairing distraction to all subjects, and particularly compounded the negative performance of ADHD drivers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes it even worse. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting off at a deficit [because of the ADHD], so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more distracted already, and then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re adding this other distraction [texting] into their driving performance,â&#x20AC;? said Narad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this kind of additive problem that is even scarier than a typical 16- or 17-year-old who is driving.â&#x20AC;? The authors wrote that their study highlights the need for education and enforcement of regulations against texting for drivers from this age group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think any teenager or novice driver should have the distraction of a phone, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being used for texting, email, or whatever it is,â&#x20AC;? Narad said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This study was alarming to be a part of, seeing how these kids, who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t experienced drivers yet, were distracted by cell phone use. It may not be a big deal in a simulator, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big deal out on the road.â&#x20AC;? The researchers also recorded the eye gazes of the subjects during their driving simulations under the three conditions and they are analyzing those findings for a future study.

TEXTING AND DRIVING can be a deadly combination. For teen drivers with ADHD, it simply compounds the problem.

Penn State College of Medicine receives grant From Gazette staff reports HERSHEY — Penn State College of Medicine’s Dr. Daniel Notterman has been awarded a $3.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to study the influence of social environments on two specific genetic characteristics. Notterman, professor of pediatrics and biochemistry and molecular biology, and the college’s vice dean for research and graduate studies, is contributing to the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study (FFS), a national study with Princeton University and Columbia University. This study focuses on changes in two genetic characteristics in children and adolescents: telomere length and DNA methylation. Telomeres are located at the end of DNA strands and have protective properties. They vary in length per person and shrink as a person ages, a process that may be linked to disease. Recent evidence indicates that a variety of stress related to social environments may accelerate the rate of telomere shortening. DNA methylation is the addition of a methyl group (a carbon atom with three hydrogen atoms) to the molecules that make up DNA. These groups can prevent bad or harmful genetic information from transcribing and are involved in the creation of the chromosome structures. Researchers will look for potential correlations between the social environment from infancy through age 15 and how telomere length and DNA methylation changes. “We expect to find significant changes between ages 9 and 15 in both telomeres and DNA methylation,” Notterman said. “Some of the change will be because of time and development, while other changes are expected to show that family social

environment influences variable genetic traits.” This information will help in further research into how genes, environment, and health interact—an expanding approach to biomedical research called personalized medicine. Notterman is a co-author on a recently published paper in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science with the newest FFS findings. In that paper, a specific genetic variation in the gene that controls the creation of dopamine is found in mothers who are harsh towards their children during economic stress. Dopamine is a behavior-regulating chemical in the brain. Researchers say that mothers with this gene variation are more likely to react to their environment and saw behaviors such as hitting and shouting at children as economic conditions worsen. The same behaviors are not seen in women without this variation. In addition, the behaviors decrease as economic situations improve, which is also not seen in women without the variation. For more information on this study, visit http:// www.nyu.edu/about/news-publications/ news/2013/08/05/great-recession-onsetspurs-harsh-parenting-researchers-find. html. Located on the campus of Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, Penn State College of Medicine boasts a portfolio of more than $106 million in funded research. Projects range from the development of artificial organs and advanced diagnostics to groundbreaking cancer treatments and understanding the fundamental causes of disease. Enrolling its first students in 1967, the College of Medicine has more than 1,600 students and trainees in medicine, nursing, the health professions and biomedical research on its campus.

LEWISTOWN — Pearl R. Knepp graduated from the first Lewistown Hospital School of Nursing in 1953. Now, 60 years later, her granddaughter, Heather L. (McMinn) Haines from Lewistown graduated from the new Lewistown Hospital School of Nursing, which reopened in 2005. Knepp is currently a resident at Elmcroft of Reedsville. After receiving her R.N. degree, Knepp went on to work at Lewistown Hospital for 37 years, retiring in 1995.

Her granddaughter has been working at Lewistown Hospital as a ward clerk on IMCU while she attended nursing school. In September, she will be a graduate nurse on IMCU until she passes her boards and receives her R.N. license. Knepp’s daughter, Teresa L. (Knepp) McMinn, also followed in her mother’s footsteps and became a nurse in 1980, receiving her bachelor’s degree in nursing from Widener University. McMinn is currently the cancer services coordinator at Lewistown Hospital.

World Campus extends tuition grant to military spouses From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State’s World Campus is extending its military grant-in-aid to military spouses, effective for the 2013-14 academic year. Since 2008, the grant has been available to all members of the U.S. Armed Forces, including Guard and Reserves. The grant reduces tuition costs by 39 to 44 percent for students enrolled in undergraduate degrees, certificates and courses delivered online through the World Campus. “Like the Department of Defense, Penn State recognizes it is the military family that serves, not just the service member,” said Ginny Newman, assistant director of Defense Sector Education at Penn State. “That’s why we wanted to extend this edu-

cational benefit to military spouses.” The 2013-14 grant lowers the tuition rate to $314 per semester hour, compared with the World Campus public undergraduate tuition rates of $518 for lower division courses and $559 for upper division courses. Penn State awards more than $600,000 in military grants annually. “Spouses are the unsung heroes of the military,” said Capt. Israel Miller, Pennsylvania Education and Incentives Branch chief, Pennsylvania National Guard, Fort Indiantown Gap. “By recognizing this commitment and extending their grant-in-aid to spouses, Penn State has once again set the bar, which speaks volumes to our troops. Penn State continues to set the example of supporting our men and women in uniform

by acknowledging the sacrifice of spousal service, long deployments, added responsibilities and increased financial burdens.” Penn State’s tradition of extending access to education programs to the military began in 1859 with the introduction of military studies. Earlier this year, the university signed the new Department of Defense Voluntary Education Partnership agreement, reauthorizing its eligibility to provide education to military personnel, veterans and family members. The university’s initiatives for service members and veterans include an Office of Veterans Programs, dedicated Military Admissions and Advising Team, military scholarships, and training programs for faculty and staff who work with these students.

Smith hired as CCCA administrator From Gazette staff reports

BELLEFONTE — Centre County Christian Academy in Bellefonte recently announced the hiring of a new administrator, Kristy Gilbaugh Smith of Port Matilda. She assumed her new duties on Aug. 12. She is only the second administrator of the academy in its 37-year history. Dr. Robert Baylor founded the academy and served as the administrator until his retirement in 2011. Smith started her academic career at Centre County Christian Academy as she was enrolled in the school’s Wee Wisdom Playschool and Daycare as a three- and four-year-old. Her parents were employed as faculty at CCCA from 1982 to 1992. She entered the academy as a kindergarten student and attended until the end of second grade. Smith finished school in Massachusetts, graduating as valedictorian from New England Baptist Academy. She then entered Bob Jones University as an elementary education major, with a minor in music. During college she worked in the Bob Jones Elementary School as a teacher’s aide and assistant. Smith received numerous honors at the university for her participation in the music program. Her best memory was being chosen to sing a solo as the university turned on 1 million Christmas lights and set a Guinness World Record for the largest Christmas Caroling event. She graduated summa cum laud in 2006. After graduation, Smith was employed by Calvary Baptist School in Lansdale as a kindergarten teacher. After her husband’s graduation from

seminary, the Smiths moved to Centre County where Ryan Smith became the pastor of Port Matilda Baptist Church. She was hired by CCCA as the second and third grade teacher for the 2008-2009 school year. She took time off to start a family, and returned to CCCA for the 20122013 school year as the kindergarten teacher. She will continue teaching kindergarten for the mornings in the next school year. Under Smith’s supervision the kindergarten class has tripled in size from last year. This past year Smith worked closely with the board of CCCA, serving as the elementary supervisor. She is also on the finance committee, represents the academy at community events and promotes the school at many churches. She has worked in the recruiting of new students. Smith has been able to put together the “Chain of Awesomeness” program which has enabled the academy to more than double its attendance by cutting tuition costs in half. Smith’s goals are to continue pursuing high academic standards so that Centre County Christian Academy will continue to achieve the highest test scores in Centre County. She wants to continue increasing attendance by letting others know of the excellent programs of the school and the affordable tuition rates. She wants to work closely with the students by developing a student council and adding projects to help the student body get more involved with the needs of the community. It is her desire to prepare students for a life of service in their Christian faith.

Smith resides in Port Matilda with her husband and their three sons, Grant, 4, Owen, 3, and Reed, 2 months. As a pastor’s wife she is active in the children’s ministry at Port Matilda Baptist Church and is the choir director. The Smiths are active in community sports and Ryan is the chaplain of the Port Matilda Ambulance. The public is invited to stop by the academy located just off of Blanchard Street in Bellefonte to meet the new administrator, or call CCCA at (814) 355-7805 and ask for Kristy Smith.

THE NEW SCIENCE labs at Saint Joseph’s Catholic Academy were made possible through a donation from Scientific Systems, Inc., and Andrew Charney.

Saint Joseph’s completes $250,000 science wing From Gazette staff reports

BOALSBURG — Saint Joseph’s Catholic Academy will dedicate its new state-ofthe-art science wing this September. The science wing was made possible by a donation of $250,000 from Scientific Systems Inc. and Andrew Charney. Saint Joseph’s principal, Christopher Chirieleison, was overwhelmed by the donation. “Mr. Charney’s transformational gift now enables us to provide state-of-theart science labs in order to educate our students about the disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics. Our exceptional science faculty will utilize these resources to engage and inspire future generations of scientists, physicians and engineers who will emerge from the Saint Joseph’s Catholic Academy community.” Physics teacher and project manager Christian Klepeiss echoed Chirieleison’s thoughts. “I think the science wing is necessary in order to bring credibility and offer cutting edge tools to our students at SJCA. With these upgrades, we have put our academy in position to compete with any other school in terms of science education,” he said.

Mr. Klepeiss was recently named one of State College magazine’s “Teachers of the Year” for 2013. The new science wing will become home to a number of courses including advanced physics, pre-engineering, computer aided drafting, general chemistry, anatomy, physiology and many more. Upgrades within the classroom involve everything from new lab stations, sinks, and a chemical-mixing hood to enough gas and electrical connections for each student to work independently at his or her own station. The immediate benefits of Scientific Systems Inc. and Charney’s donation are numerous. “Our experiments will no longer be limited by the equipment we possess, only by the creativity of our teachers,” Klepeiss said. Along with Scientific Systems Inc. and Charney, the board of directors, faculty, parents, students and staff of Saint Joseph’s Catholic Academy were involved with the development of the science wing. Frank Peno from Peno Engineering, Billy Sallurday from Jack Frost Construction, Miller Electric, Joseph Berrena Mechanical and PBCI-Allen were engaged to construct the labs.

Children’s events entertain at Grange Fair By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — Competitive events for young children took the spotlight at Grange Fair on Aug. 28. A favorite event for the little ones was the Baby King and Queen Contest. This year’s event was held on the Southside Stage. This contest is for 3-year-old boys and girls, and featured 20 girls and 10 boys as contestants this year. Emcee Jerry Valeri, of radio station MAJIC 99, interviewed the little ones with great skill. It’s not always easy to get 3-yearolds to talk. A couple of shy contestants’ interviews were sidelined by tears, and the kids’ responses ranged from shy and bare-

ly audible to excited and very loud. Valeri asked each of them what their favorite foods at the fair were. Several chose pizza and ice cream, and one girl said “deer meat.” When asked what their favorite animals at the fair were, typical responses were goats, horses, cows, and pigs, but one girl said “crocodiles.” “I missed those,” quipped Valeri. “They keep them away from the pigs, I assume.” The carousel, Ferris wheel, alligator roller coaster and bouncy house were chosen as the contestants’ favorite rides. Among the female contestants was Olivia Smeltzer, daughter of Domer and Kristin Smeltzer of Georges Valley. Olivia was with her cousin Jennifer Butters and her grandmother Betty Smeltzer, since her

parents were attending a funeral. “She would rather be with her mommy,” said Betty Smeltzer. Olivia took the second runner-up prize in the contest. When the judges finished deliberating, Jeremiah Shaffer and Kenlie Rogers were crowned the 2013 king and queen. Their crowns were bestowed on them by the 2013 Grange Fair Queen, Madison Kauffman. The king, queen and runners-up all rode on a float in the Thursday afternoon parade around the fairgrounds, waving and smiling at the appreciative crowd. The judges said picking the winners was a difficult job, especially with 20 entries in the queen contest. The contestants are judged on per-

sonality, disposition, appearance and a judge’s discretion category. At the tractor pull arena, the children’s pedal tractor pulls were going on. The pulls use a small concrete track with a full pull being 31 feet. A miniature weighted sled was hooked to the pulling tractors. In the 5-year-old division, the sled was weighted to 95 pounds. Most riders started off going fast, but as the weight moved forward adding more drag to the sled, the pedaling quickly slowed to a crawl, with few riders making a full pull. This was not a boys-only event, with many girls entered and performing as well as their male counterparts. All the kids received much encouragement and applause from the audience.

Saint Joseph’s Academy hosts its first football game By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

BOALSBURG — On Saturday, Evan Young kicked a football and stepped into Centre County sports history, as he launched the first game of a brand new high school football program. Young is the placekicker for the Saint Joseph’s Academy Wolves, who hosted the Mercyhurst Prep Lakers at a brand new playing field behind St. Joseph’s in Boalsburg. The Saint Joseph’s Academy building was originally erected in 1937, and served the residents of Boalsburg and Harris Township as its high school until 1946. The following school year, the building became the Boalsburg Elementary School, and remained in use until 2011, when it was closed as the new Mount Nittany Elementary School opened about a mile away. The property was then sold to the Saint Joseph’s Academy, and opened as a Catholic high school in the fall of 2011. Saturday’s gridiron contest came about thanks to an effort by school officials, students’ parents and community members. First and foremost, the new team needed a playing field. Attempts to share a field with other nearby school districts fell flat and officials decided to make their own field in the former playground behind the school. With some creative tree cutting and trimming, the area was just big enough to fit in a regulation-size football field.

At Saturday’s game the scoreboard, donated by Bishop Guilfoyle High School in Altoona, was functional, but sitting on the ground near the east end zone beside a large pile of soil. A newly constructed press box was partially painted in the school’s orange and blue colors. A set of bleachers was in use, and a second set lay inverted, waiting to be installed. Most spectators brought lawn chairs for seating along the sidelines. Creating the field was done in about a month by a group of volunteers. Some building supplies were donated by local home improvement centers. The field was painted with yard lines on Aug. 27, making it game-ready for Saturday’s clash. Saint Joseph’s Academy principal Chris Chirieleison said making the field was “an extraordinary accomplishment for the community.” “I think it is significant for this area to have a new high school football team,” he said. Chirieleison said the school is growing, having a current enrollment of 102 students, up from 68 students last year. Referring to the football players, he said: “This is their chance to pioneer something, and I’m proud of them no matter what the outcome is today.” The outcome could not have been better for the upstart team. Led by head coach Dave Carson, the St. Joseph’s Wolves routed the Mercyhurst Prep Lakers, 466. The victory for the Wolves was

SAM STITZER/For The Gazette

SPECTATORS SIT on newly built bleachers in front of the partially finished press box at St. Joseph’s Academy. the culmination of a lot of work by a lot of people in the school and the community. Chirieleison said that the Wolves second home game with

Curwensville will be on Friday, Sept. 20, under portable lights. “More and more people are becoming aware of our school,” said Chirieleison. “Having foot-

ball will definitely help that.” He also noted that St. Joseph’s will have PIAA wrestling events in the winter and baseball games in the spring.

Twin Kiss Drive-In goes to the dogs on Friday nights “One vanilla in a doggie dish,” shouted my co-worker in the local Twin Kiss Drive-In. The traffic was backed up so far on Route 19 north of Mercer that people only had time to leap out of their cars, order ice cream cones, and catch up with their car and driver down the road. This was before I-79 was completed. Others would pull in, unload their dogs, and treat them to ice cream right there in the parking lot. Fast forward a few years — well make that Connie Cousins about 57 years — and I covers Centre again enjoyed seeing County for the Centre County dogs having their ice Gazette. Email her cream. The ice cream at correspondent@ socials for dogs that centrecounty have taken place each gazette. com Friday in August at Wiscoy Pet Food Company, 424 W. Aaron Drive, State College, have been a hit with

dogs and owners alike. Who doesn’t enjoy ice cream on a warm summer night? “Amazingly there have never been incidents and we have had upwards of 140150 dogs on some evenings,” said Wiscoy owner Wanda Cosby. Cosby had her business since 1990 at another location and decided a few years ago that she wanted to have her own building. She proceeded to build at the present location. She has been holding the ice cream socials for dogs for 18 years. Wanda said is it very satisfying to meet the people in the store, learn their stories and offer advice about various pet foods, toys, grooming supplies and training. She has a full staff of well-trained individuals who bring different varieties and backgrounds of experience. One of the dogs patiently watching the activities on Friday was a 6-year-old German Shepherd named Angel. As the tee shirts worn by Wiscoy employees suggested — BYOL or “Bring Your Owner on a Leash” — Angel had brought new owner Ron Pifer. Angel had been left at PAWS after a grandfather of a family had died and his children decided that Angel was a great

dog and should have a new owner. It happened that Ron and wife Barbara had recently lost a dog, and thanks to Angel they were only without a dog for three days. The Pifers keep dogs and cats for PAWS during the week, and those dogs and cats are offered for adoption on the weekends. Ron says they are happy with their Angel and she is fitting into their home nicely. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the balmy evening, sitting at tables and chatting. New acquaintances were initiated through the discussions of breeds and shared stories as the pride and joy of each owner lay at his feet. There are rules for the doggie ice cream socials, and no nose to nose, or nose to any other body part, is permitted. This puts the issue of control on the owners and it works. According to Cosby, “It’s like when you were little and went to an ice cream social. You were expected to be on your best behavior, right?” Amazingly most dogs were calm and accepting of the others passing by. One little blonde girl worked her way around the dogs asking each owner, “May I pet him/her?”

STATE COLLEGE — The September meeting of the 148th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Company C, Civil War Reenactment Group will be held at 7 p.m. on Sept. 18 at Centre Region Council of Governments, 2643 Gateway Dr. in State College. The group will be discussing its participation in several 150th anniversary events for this year and next. During the Civil War, seven of the ten companies of the 148th PA Regiment were

recruited from Centre County and became known as “The Centre County Regiment.” The 148th PA Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Company C, Reenactment Group has more than 80 active members from Centre, Clearfield, Mifflin, Juniata, Huntingdon, Blair and Carbon counties. The regiment is actively recruiting new members. Anyone who is interested in learning more about Civil War reenacting or the Civil War in general is encouraged to attend. For more information, contact president Lynn Herman at (814) 861-0770 or captain Dave Felice at (814) 360-2626.

The Friday night events also are a way of looking over different breeds of dogs and observing their natures. Up close, you can see how much hair they might shed and how quiet, or not so quiet, they seem around other dogs. Wiscoy’s ice cream socials for dogs will return next summer, but in the meantime, stop in with your dog for a visit as you pick up your animal supplies.

‘Plow to Plate’ dinner set for Sept. 11 From Gazette staff reports CENTRE HALL — Fall in central Pennsylvania brings the bounty, beauty and variety of the fall harvest. To celebrate the harvest, the Boalsburg Farmer’s Market, in cooperation with the Mount Nittany Winery, is sponsoring its “Plow to Plate Harvest Dinner” featuring the vegetables and fruits that ripen as the last of summer’s crops are replaced by those that thrive in the fall. Some of the best chefs in Happy Valley will prepare soups and side dishes from summer crops, including eggplant, peppers, okra, garlic, onions, melons, as well as from fall favorites including acorn and butternut squash, pumpkins, kale, spinach, kohlrabi and apples. They also will offer main dishes — using pasture-raised, sustainably produced local meat — and desserts. The dinner will be held at the Mount Nittany Winery on Sept. 11 and will gather a number of area chefs, including Jamie Steffen (Nittany Lion Inn), Charles Niedemyer (Nola’s Joint), Ben Stanley (El Gringo Tacos), Bob Ricketts (Fasta & Ravioli Co.), Nathan Brungarten (Mount Nittany Inn), Paul Kendeffy (Gamble Mill Restaurant and Brewery), Harrison Schailey (Harrisons) and Andy Rose (Elk Creek Café). Tickets are $35 each and are available at the Boalsburg Farmers Market, at Webster’s Café, 133 E. Beaver Ave. in State College, and at the Tait Farm Store on state Route 322 East, Boalsburg. Vineyard and winery tours begin at 5 p.m. Dinner will be served at 6 p.m. The winery is located at 300 Houser Road, just off of Brush Valley Road. Children under 12 are free. In addition to tours of the vineyard and winery, guests will be able to talk with the chefs and some of the Boalsburg Farmer’s Market farmers throughout the evening. Guests will receive a complimentary glass of Mount Nittany wine. Music will be provided by “Richard and

Crickfest draws crowds in Coburn By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

COBURN — The Penns Valley Conservation Association hosted the 11th annual Crickfest in Coburn Park on Sept. 1. The name, derived from “crick,” a slang word for creek, is appropriate, since Elk Creek and Pine Creek both merge with Penns Creek at Coburn. The event celebrates environmental conservation and the Penns Creek watershed. It always attracts a large crowd of citizens of Penns Valley and the surrounding area and has grown larger each year of its existence. Crickfest featured live music, prepared local foods, a silent auction, a petting zoo and many other educational activities. Several conservation-oriented groups had display booths set up to inform the public of their goals and activities. Larry Wolken represented a group of citizens planning to establish a radio station in the Penns Valley area. Wolken said the group is on track for submission of a construction permit application to the FCC in October. The proposed studio and transmitter site is the St. Luke’s Cultural Center in Millheim and signal coverage would be roughly within a seven-mile radius of the site. This would reach an estimated audience of 12,000 people. Wolken said it will likely be a year until the station is up and running, but there is much to be done to reach that goal. Mark Risso represented the Millheim Bicycle Co-op, a small but growing group of cyclists and bicycle enthusiasts. The co-op

is located in a garage behind the EcoVents building in Millheim. The co-op has repair tools, two bike stands and a wheel truing stand. They have also received donations of various sizes and types of bicycles. Current functions of the co-op include organizing weekly group rides on Thursdays at 6 p.m., hosting special events (films, barbecues, etc.), and performing maintenance and tune-ups on bikes. Future plans include organizing an overnight bike/camping trip for the spring, fixing up bikes to sell or lend, keeping bike parts on hand (tires, tubes, cables, chain, etc.), and hosting workshops on bicycle maintenance. Profits from Crickfest help to finance the PVCA’s environmental education program in the Penns Valley Area School District, and many other conservation-oriented projects. The rubber duck races are a perennial favorite event at Crickfest. Entrants in this event purchased numbered rubber ducks for $1 each, which were released as a group in a swift flowing section of Penns Creek. Prizes were awarded to the first few ducks to reach the finish line, a wire fence in the creek about 60 yards downstream. Spectators enjoyed watching the ducks race downstream in the midstream channel. Several heats were run throughout the afternoon, attracting many entrants and spectators. Helpers had to scramble when the swift current pushed a large group of the ducks under and past the fence. Fishing nets were used to round up the stray rubber ducks. Another popular activity for children

PAWS ADOPT-A-PET Snowball is outgoing, poised and full of charm, the perfect mature feline lady who is still waiting to find her new forever family. Only at PAWS because her previous owner could no longer care for her, Snowball is extremely friendly and gets along with kids, other cats and dogs. Her foster mom nicknamed her “Shadow,” since she would follow her all around the house. Then when her foster mom sat down, Snowball was quick to jump on her lap and just sit there and purr.

STATE COLLEGE — The 2013 National DUI Crackdown, “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,” was held over the weekend. More than 600 Pennsylvania police departments and the Pennsylvania State Police participated in a series of special enforcement initiatives including checkpoints and roving patrols focusing on both alcohol and drug impaired drivers. In Pennsylvania, “sober” means not being under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Illicit drugs, over-the-counter drugs, prescription drugs, designer drugs and even substances not commonly thought of as “drugs” are all potentially driver impairing and can result in DUI arrests. In 2012, 56,317 DUI arrests were made in Pennsylvania of which 17,064, or 30 percent, were drugged driving charges. During the preceding year, 15,445 drugged driving arrests were made. Additional information on impaired driving is available online at www.DriveSafePA.org and www.padui.org.

Fear of Friday the 13th has historical roots By ROBERT LIMA

Special to The Gazette

Friday the 13th. What’s in that day and number combination that rattles our self-confidence or, at the very least, makes us ponder the possibility that the commonplace might become horrific? Why has that date been viewed traditionally with such apprehension? Friday gets its name either from Frig (Frigga), Odin’s consort and goddess of heaven, or from another Scandinavian deity, Frey(e), associated with fertility and love. But it isn’t necessarily from its pagan associations that Friday derives its negative aspect in our culture. According to folklore, many disastrous events took place on Friday: Eve tempted Adam and caused the loss of Paradise; the Great Flood began, destroying most of the human race; confusion broke out on the Tower of Babel, creating the ongoing havoc of international misunderstanding. But the reason why Friday’s association with bad luck has persisted is due to a historical event of great importance to the Christian society of Europe: the crucifixion of Christ, traditionally held to have occurred on that day of the week. Friday, therefore, became symbolic of death, the worst possible bad luck. Consequently, sailors are superstitious about setting out on a voyage or launching a ship on a Friday. Indeed, an Italian proverb has it that one should not marry, give birth or begin a new venture on a Friday. The negative associations of the number 13, the abnormal fear of which is so common that it is known as triskaidekaphobia, are also varied. For example, few hotels, condominiums or office buildings dare to indicate a thirteenth floor, choosing instead to skip from 12 to 14 on the elevator listings; in some cases, the number 13 does not even appear on rooms or office suites. In numerology, particularly as used in

mystical systems, 13 is one more than 12, the number of completeness (there are 12 signs of the Zodiac, 12 months of the year, 12 numbers on the clock, 12 Tribes of Israel, 12 days of Christmas, 12 Apostles chosen by Christ, for example). Therefore, 13 is said to go beyond proper limits. Thus in necromancy, the “science” of affecting human events through contact with the dead, 13 is the number which represents what Christianity viewed as the transgression of dealing with the esoteric world beyond the grave. Eventually, 13 became the number applied to a coven of witches, as well as to worshipers of Satan. The Church and public opinion held that witches performed unholy rituals in groups of 13, thus seeking to mock Christ and his 12 disciples. But it is primarily because the 13th member of the group with Christ at the Last Supper was Judas, who betrayed his Master, that the number has an ongoing association with evil and bad luck. There is yet another terrible event associated with the superstition. It was on a Friday the 13th, in October 1307, that the Order of the Poor Fellow Soldiers of Christ and the Temple of Solomon, founded in 1118 and known as the Knights Templar, were decimated under the order of King Philip IV (so-called “the Fair”) of France with the complicity of Pope Clement V (note the the irony of his name and the sobriquet of the king). Seeking to uncover the vast wealth reputed to be held by the Templars, the king had Jacques de Molay, grand master of the order, and numerous of its prominent knights arrested in Paris, severely tortured and burned at the stake. Other arrests followed throughout France with similar results. Yet, despite suffering that prompted “confessions” to the anti-Christian charges brought against them, no one disclosed the location of the “treasure.” It is no wonder that Friday the 13th, already associated with terrible events, was again brought to the fore with the malicious attacks on the

Knights Templar. Consequently, if Friday is the unluckiest day of the week and 13 the unluckiest number, then Friday the 13th is the worst Friday of all. The combination of day of the week and date has its own impossibly-long designation: paraskevidekatriaphobia. One might avoid black cats, walking under a ladder, stepping on sidewalk cracks, knocking over the salt, seating 13 at a table, opening an umbrella indoors, putting a hat on the bed, or breaking a mirror, but how can one avoid a whole day, especially

when it is the blackest day of the year? Robert Lima is professor emeritus and fellow emeritus of Penn State. He has published 30 books in a variety of genres. As a poet, he won the Phi Kappa Phi Inaugural Poetry Competition. A member of the North American Academy of the Spanish Language and the Royal Spanish Academy, he was dubbed Knight Commander in the Order of Queen Isabel by King Juan Carlos I of Spain.

Shop Bellefonte - advertorial -

Victorian House Antiques After operating his business in Chester, N.J., for more than 10 years, Mitch Bradley decided in 2005 it was time to move home to Bellefonte. Bringing his store’s antique and unique inventory with him, Bradley opened Victorian House Antiques at 107 S. Allegheny St. “I try to focus on quality, investmentgrade antiques,” said Bradley. “I think that’s what distinguishes me from other stores in the area. I’m very selective about what I buy and put in the store.” According to Bradley, most items in the store are ready for home or office use. “I try not to carry any projects. Everything is ready to go and is a nice quality antique.” As the owner, Bradley does all the buying and selling of items for the store. About once a week, the shop is covered by his mother, Dona Bradley. “She’s been here since 1969, so she tends to know about 80 percent of the people who come in the store,” he said with a laugh. “She’s really great with customers.” Featuring furniture in all woods and styles, estate jewelry, gold, silver and diamond jewelry, pottery, lamps, collectibles and signed Joe Paterno items, Victorian House Antiques has something for everyone. “I even have a couple of fish named

JoePa and Terno that people can come and visit,” Bradley said. Though “antique” is a part of the store’s name, Bradley said not everything featured in his shop falls under that category. What each item must be, though, is high quality. “(It) doesn’t have to be antique for me to buy it, but if it’s not antique, it needs to be unique and of high quality,” he said. “I’m not an indoor flea market. I’m very selective. I think my business is pretty distinct that way.” Bradley said that he’s seen a lot of jewelry come through his doors in recent months. “Many people have also been purging their jewelry drawers and bringing in gold and silver jewelry to sell,” he said. “It’s always fun to see what comes through the door.” Bradley feels the wide variety, level of uniqueness and high quality of items offered at Victorian House Antiques ensures his store has something for everyone. “I think not everybody likes every style of antiques. In fact, not everybody likes antiques and that’s okay. That’s why I do carry some things that are more contemporary. I have some more contemporary pottery in here, an occasional piece of furniture. My sports items cater to another group,” he said. “I think it’s important to

To do that, you need a wide variety of selection.” Bradley also offers delivery services and appraisals, something those moving, settling an estate or planning a yard sale have found beneficial. “Often times they call me and invite me in as part of the process to buy items or to appraise them. If it’s a yard sale, they don’t want to give things away, so they call in somebody like me that can assess the value and make a fair market offer,” he said. 2782 Earlystown Rd, Rte 45 Centre Hall, PA 16828

There’s jewelry, furniture, artwork, pottery, a lot of gift items,” he said. “It’s a beautiful town. Take advantage of a day in Bellefonte and visit all the shops. Be sure to stop in here and see what you might be missing.” For more information about Victorian House Antiques, stop in the store or call (814) 355-1614.

Penn State ushers in Hackenberg Era with win over Syracuse By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

enberg in his first start. What they weren’t prepared for was the powerful effect — after just two plays — that Robinson would have on the Nittany Lion offense. After struggling to a three-point halftime lead, Penn State was looking for some kind of spark on offense, and Robinson wasted no time in supplying it. He entered the game in Penn State’s first possession of the second half and the first time he touched the ball he went for 25 yards down the left sideline on a screen pass. The very next play, this time on a fake screen, Hackenberg found Robinson wide open for 51-yard touchdown and a 10-point PSU lead. The immediate lift in attitude among the PSU players was almost visible. Syracuse did respond with a quick touchdown of its own to climb back to within three points again, but Penn State, with new life, added a field goal on its next possession and then Hackenberg threw a 51-yard dart to Eugene Lewis early in the fourth quarter that proved to be the winning score in the Lions’ win. In all, Robinson caught seven passes for 133 yards and the touchdown. Not bad for one half of work. “He’s (Robinson) a great player,” Hackenberg said, “and he made a lot of big plays

sports@centrecountygazette.com

Penn State earned an important win against physical and well-prepared Syracuse in its opener on Saturday afternoon at Met Life Stadium. It was by no means easy, however, and PSU needed some outstanding performances in order to pull out the 23-17 win. Still, 1-0 is much better than the other option, and there were many positives that coach Bill O’Brien and his team can build on as the season progresses.

ALLEN ROBINSON (AND THE RECEIVING CORPS)

Syracuse was extremely well prepared for almost everything the Penn State offense would throw at the Orangemen on Saturday afternoon. Almost everything. They were prepared for a new Penn State quarterback, Christian Hackenberg, making his first start in a major college football game on national television. They were prepared for the bruising offensive line and running game of Penn State, including the inside strength of Zach Zwinak and the outside speed of Bill Belton. They were most likely also prepared for Robinson (and the other receivers) with different looks, multiple coverages, and double teams all designed to disrupt Hack-

PENN STATE’S Allen Robinson heads upfield after making a catch during Saturday’s game against Syracuse at MetLife Stadium.

for us today as well as Geno (Lewis). The whole receiving corps stepped up today.”

CHRISTIAN HACKENBERG

The rope that the freshman quarterback put into the hands of Lewis

on the goal line for PSU’s final touchdown travelled about 60 yards in the air and was a perfect spiral. It surely must have set off images of that kind of Hackenberg rocket being thrown all over Beaver Stadium for the rest of this season and beyond in the minds of Penn State fans. For his performance against the Orange, Hackenberg was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week, and he deserved it after completing 22 of 31 for 278 yards and two touchdowns. But he is a freshman, and he made some mistakes—one of which was an interception that brought Syracuse back into the game with seven minutes still to play. Yet his overall performance, his presence, and his arm strength all point to a very bright future—especially with the cast of offensive players surrounding him this season. “He’s a very poised kid,” O’Brien said. “He’s got a fantastic demeanor. He’s got great parents, and I think that’s one of the things that stood out to me in recruiting him. He’s only 18. He’s got a tremendous future, but we’re not ready to waltz him into the College Football Hall of Fame and certainly not the NFL Hall of Fame.”

THE DEFENSE

O’Brien said that the Penn State defense “bailed us out” and he will not get many arguments about that. The Lions held Syracuse to a net of just 71 yards rushing and allowed only 191 yards and no touchdowns on 16 completions through the air. With the game on the line—and Penn State holding on to a six-point lead—the defense twice stopped Syracuse and preserved the PSU lead. On the final drive, Flying, Page 22

State High product Haffner in a fight for playing time By CHRIS MORELLI

Haffner knows the benefits of a good work ethic. His hard work helped lead State High to the 2009 PIAA Class AAAA state championship game. But, as Haffner noted, there’s a big difference between the high school game and collegiate game. “In college, the playbook is a lot more complicated. It’s hard, balancing athletics and academics. Once you get adjusted, it just becomes part of the routine,” he said. Haffner will compete with senior Pat Zerbe and another redshirt freshman, Dom Salomone, for the starting fullback job. According to Haffner, he has complete faith in head coach Bill O’Brien. He knows that his coach will put the best players on the field. “He’s always been a terrific leader,” Haffner said of O’Brien. “He just knows what to say to motivate us.” Haffner was a Penn State fan growing up, so getting a chance to run through the

UNIVERSITY PARK — At State College Area High School, Jack Haffner was a workhorse. During his senior year, he amassed 2,143 yards on 288 carries — an average of 7.4 yards every time he toted the ball. He became just the second player in Centre County history to eclipse 2,000 yards in a season. He found the end zone 26 times. Plenty of accolades and honors followed. He was named a first-team Class AAAA all-state running back and a finalist for Pennsylvania Mr. Football. Haffner decided to take his talents to Penn State, the team he grew up cheering for. After redshirting as a freshman, Haffner hopes to earn some playing time in 2013. “I don’t really know what to expect,” Haffner said. “I’m not really sure what my role is yet. I’m just going to keep working hard and see where it takes me.”

The good, the bad and the ugly There were a lot of bright spots in Saturday’s 23-17 win over Syracuse in East Rutherford, N.J. Penn State opened year No. 2 of Bill O’Brien’s regime with a victory (an improvement over last season). With that in mind, here’s a closer look at the good, bad and ugly from Saturday’s game. n The Good: Christian Hackenberg. While the true freshman quarterback didn’t play a flawless game (two interceptions), he was able to get the job done when he needed to. He was playing on a huge stage in the season opener and finished the day completing 22 of 31 passes for 278 yards and a pair of scores. His day got much easier once wideout Allen Robinson entered the game. Robinson is Hackenberg’s favorite target thus far — and it’s easy to see why. n The Bad: The ground game. Penn

State’s running game was non-existent Saturday. Running back Zack Zwinak was a workhorse, carrying the ball 24 times. He picked up just 61 yards on the ground, an average of 2.5 per carry. That’s not going to get it done this season, especially once conference play begins. His backfield mate, Bill Belton, didn’t fare much better, carrying six times for 19 yards — a little over three yards per tote. n The Ugly: Matt Lehman’s injury. The hard-working tight end went down without contact as his shoe got caught in the MetLife Stadium turf. At his Tuesday news conference, O’Brien confirmed what everyone who saw the play thought — that Lehman’s injury was indeed a seasonender. On a team with little depth, that injury is a hard one to swallow. — Chris Morelli

PENN STATE running back Bill Belton picks up yardage during Saturday’s game with Syracuse. The Nittany Lions won, 23-17.

SEAN FITZ/Lions247.com

JACK HAFFNER (32) and his backfield mates prepare to meet the press at media day back in August.

Flying, from page 19 sophomore cornerback Trevor Williams intercepted a Drew Allen pass just inside the right sideline and put the game away for the Lions. The only downer for the defense in the game was the injury to Mike Hull, who left the game in the first half with a knee injury. Hull came back and tried to play, but he apparently changed his mind and ended up not playing at all in the second half.

SAM FICKEN

Three for Three. Every kickoff into the endzone. Looks like Penn State has found itself a kicker. Actually, it’s interesting to compare last season’s first road game to this season’s first road game. In that Virginia game of 2012, Ficken missed 4 field goals and the Lions lost 17-16. This year, three-for-three, and PSU wins 23-17. Add nine points to last year’s Virginia score, and it’s apparent what Ficken can do for this team.

Haffner, from page 19

THIS WEEK

tunnel at Beaver Stadium was always a dream. For seven Saturdays this fall, Haffner will see his dream come full circle. “It’s great,” he said of having a large contingent of fans watch him play every Saturday. “I’m just honored that they can come out to watch me.” The 5-foot-10, 210-pound fullback said that preseason practice has been a success thus far. During preseason practice, Haffner said that the team looked sharp and focused. That was the case on Saturday as the Nittany Lions took care of business against Syracuse, 23-17. “It’s going really well,” Haffner said. At State High, Haffner had a reputation for being a tough, hard-nosed kid who would stop at nothing to put the ball in the end zone. In a game against Father Judge, Haffner lost his helmet at the 5-yard line, but continued to fight his way into the end zone. Now, he’s fighting for playing time. He likes his chances. “It’s very competitive. Everyone is trying to get on the field,” he said. “You just gotta keep working hard every day and see where it takes you.”

Next up, in the Lions first home game, will be Eastern Michigan University, a 34-24 victor over Howard in its 2013 opener on Aug. 31. Down by 11 points with just four minutes to play in the third quarter, EMU roared back with 21 unanswered points to pull out the win. It was the first time Eastern Michigan won a game after trailing going into the fourth quarter since 2007. Leading the EMU offense is red-shirt junior quarterback Tyler Benz, who will be making his 10th career start. He completed 19 of 26 passes for 210 yards and two touchdowns against Howard, and he has now thrown touchdown passes in nine of his last 10 games. On defense, Eastern Michigan is led by senior linebacker Sean Kurtz who had a career-high 13 tackles against Howard and made key interception late in the game that set up the ECU go-ahead score. The Eagles had seven players make their first starts last week, and in all, had 14 freshmen see action against Howard. Game time is set for noon at Beaver Stadium.

Impressive Opener

Bald Eagle Area decks rival Bellefonte, 49-7, to kick off 2013 campaign By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

sports@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — Certainly near the top of Bald Eagle Area football coach Jack Tobias’ offseason to-do list was finding a quarterback replacement for two-year starter Cole Long. Check that one off. Junior Jason Jones, in his first start as quarterback for the Eagles in Friday night’s opener at Bellefonte, completed seven of eight first-half passes for 165 yards and three touchdowns as BEA raced to a 42-point halftime lead and then coasted home for a 49-7 win. Jones had tons of help in his debut, especially from running back Dakota Bartley, who ran for 91 yards and a touchdown in the first half, and a physical defense that almost totally stonewalled the young Red Raider offense. But Jones completed touchdown passes of 12 yards to Bryce Greene, 28 yards to Jarrett Shreffler, and 60 yards to Bryan Greene — all in the first half — and sneaked one in himself as BEA scored on six consecutive possessions to take command of the game. By the time fullback Kaleb Weaver scored on a 32-yard run in the final minute of the second quarter the score was 42-0 and the Eagles were on their way to win No. 1. “We knew that if we came in and worked hard, we could get what we wanted,” Bartley said. “But putting 42 up, we weren’t expecting anything like that. Jones did pretty good. I didn’t expect him to come out like that. We expected big things out of him, but nothing like that.” As for Bellefonte, it was a disappointing beginning to new head coach Shanon Manning’s first season. The Raiders were held to 105 yards of offense and committed five turnovers, but the night was not without high points for them. Danny Caprio stepped in front

BALD EAGLE AREA’S Dakota Bartley picks up yardage while Bellefonte’s Jake Martin attempts to bring him down during Friday night’s game at Rogers Stadium. BEA won 49-7. of an early third-period BEA pass and returned it 34 yards for a touchdown and Bellefonte’s first (and, ultimately, only) points. And sophomores Austin Jackson and Gage Fischer did begin to find some running room against the BEA defense in the second half with 46 yards between them. Quarterback Mark Armstrong, also in his first varsity start, completed 4 of 14 passes for 52 yards. “I thought they (Bellefonte) played pretty well,” Tobias said. “They are just going to get better and better. It’s a new system for

them offensively, a new system on defense. And I know Coach (Shanon) Manning will do a great job getting things going in the right direction.” The game began on a positive note for the Red Raiders when they forced a fumble that stopped a promising BEA drive inside the five. Bellefonte could not move the ball however, punted, and from there it was all BEA. Within a matter of seven minutes, the score was 21-0 — two Jones’ TD passes and a three-

yard Bartley run — and the Eagles also added three more scores in the final six minutes of the half that made it 42-0 heading into the locker rooms. Caprio’s interception came on BEA’s second possession of the second half, and the final score of the game came when Shane Kunes returned a Bellefonte fumble eight yards for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter. “Our defense was lights out,” Tobias said. “Our defensive line pretty much played in the backfield all night, and that’s what we

expect from them. They’re big kids, strong kids, and they rose to the occasion. “And when you have a good tailback and guys that can run on the edges, guys that can block up front, and a quarterback who can throw, it makes a lot of things open up front.” BEA will next play host to Philipsburg-Osceola, which lost to Line Mountain in its opener, tomorrow at 7 p.m. Bellefonte will also be in action against Huntingdon on Friday at home.

BEA’s Jones shines in first varsity start By CHRIS MORELLI

editor@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — Junior quarterback Jason Jones found out early in the week that he’d be starting Friday night’s season opener against rival Bellefonte. If Jones had any jitters, they certainly didn’t show. Jones racked up 160 yards passing and fired three touchdowns as the Eagles thumped the Red Raiders, 49-7, at Rogers Stadium. He also ran for a score. Not a bad night at the office. “I was really nervous at first,” Jones said. “But as the game went on, I got in a good rhythm. We played really well. It was a good effort by our team. Anytime you can beat Bellefonte, it’s a good win.” Jones’ lone mistake was a fumble on BEA’s first drive of the game. When he got the ball back, he wanted to make the most of it. “You can’t start a game like that, fumbling on the 1-yard line. We wanted to make it up the next possession and we did,” Jones said. In the first half, Jones relied heavily on Bryan and Bryce Greene. They were his favorite targets — and with good reason. “It’s the best feeling in the world. They can catch anything you throw to them.

You can throw a ball up and they can run it down 15 yards away. They’re just that good,” Jones said. Jones finished the first half completing 7 of 8 passes as BEA rolled up a 42-0 lead at the intermission. BEA head coach Jack Tobias was happy with the way his junior signal caller performed. “I thought he handled it very well. I didn’t expect anything less out of him,” Tobias said matter-of-factly. “He’s very coachable. He listens to everything you tell him.” According to Tobias, Jones — a multisport star at BEA — puts in the time where it matters most. “He worked extremely hard in the offseason to get where he’s at. He’s in the weight room all the time — after baseball practice, basketball practice. He hit the passing leagues, too. He’s got great pocket awareness. He moves around really well. He’s always looking downfield as he’s moving and that’s the big thing,” Tobias said. For a junior in his first varsity start, Jones handled the pressure well. “We went through two weeks of camp and it was a really tight battle between him and Tyler Shaw,” Tobias said. “It was my decision. He had a great second scrimmage and he’s worked hard.”

Week 2: P-O visits BEA in county clash By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

sports@centrecountygazette.com

High school football kicks into high gear this week with some interesting clashes. A closer look at this week’s games:

PHLIPSBURG-OSCEOLA (0-1) AT BALD EAGLE AREA (1-0)

Bald Eagle Area started fast and never looked back in its 49-7 win over Bellefonte on Friday night. The Eagles ran up 42 points in the first half after scoring on six consecutive possessions beginning in the middle of

the first quarter to the last minute before halftime. Junior Jason Jones had a sparkling debut as the BEA starting quarterback when he completed 7 of 8 passes for 165 yards and three touchdowns — all in the first half. Jones did not play in the second half. Senior Dakota Barkley ran for 91 yards and a touchdown, also in the first half, while the Eagle defense almost totally shut down the Bellefonte offense with superior play along the defensive line. BEA is big and strong along both lines, has speed on the outside (as well as on defense), and has a quarterback who can throw the ball. The Eagles should be able to move the ball against most defenses.

GAZETTE STAFF PREDICTIONS THE CENTRE COUNTY

Philipsburg comes into this game after a 37-27 loss to Line Mountain mostly because of the play of Line Mountain’s Corey Warford. Warford ran for almost 200 yards in the game, scored three offensive touchdowns, and returned an interception for another score. Yet, P-O had its own offensive star in the game. Senior quarterback Curtis Matsko, who is a handful at 6-1, 240 lbs, ran for 96 yards in the game and threw for another 154 and a touchdown. In all, P-O ran up 310 yards of offense and seriously cut back on its turnovers (P-O had eight in this game last season). With Matsko handing off to Dustin Shuey (33 yards) and Nick Patrick (29 yards) and throwing to Aaron Mason (5 catches for 88 yards), the Mounties are a far superior offensive threat than in 2012. Outlook — P-O cannot wait to shed itself of that losing streak, and the Mounties will be ready for neighborhood rival BEA. This game will likely come down to which team makes the fewest mistakes. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Bald Eagle Area High School.

This week’s games P-O at Bald Eagle Area

Central Mountain at State College St. Joe’s at Towanda

This is a showdown between two teams that lost close games in Week 1. Central Mountain fell to Williamsport, 24-21, while State College lost at Bethlehem Liberty 14-10. Central Mountain, even without the graduated alleverything Von Walker, can still move the football. The Wildcats put up 300 yards of offense against Williamsport, almost equally balanced between the pass and the run. Quarterback Bryce Bitner completed seven of 14 passes in the game for 159 yards and three touchdowns. Wide receiver Cody Barner hauled in two of those TDs and running back Tyler Pavalko caught the other. On the ground, Nigel English (78 yds.), Pavalko (30 yds), and Justin Lucas (24 yds.) do most of the running, while Barner led the receivers with four catches. State College has had to replace almost all of its skill people from 2012, except quarterback Patrick Irwin, and the Little Lions’ inexperience showed as they were unable to push across the go-ahead score against the Hurricanes in two late-game drives. Irwin leads the passing game for SC, while Jordan Misher, Anthony Misher, and Irwin are the leaders on the ground. Irwin scored SC’s only touchdown against Liberty on a 54-yard run. Outlook — State College took advantage of early Central Mountain mistakes in last season’s rout, but State College has to develop a whole new set of those big playmakers. Another game that looks like it will depend on who makes the fewest mistakes. Kickoff at the newly renovated Memorial Field is set for 7 p.m.

PENNS VALLEY (1-0) AT CLEARFIELD (1-0)

The Rams made up for last season’s opening day loss to Juniata with a 21-16 victory last Friday at Juniata. It was the usual suspects — plus — for PV. Quarterback Cam Tobias led the Rams with seven completions out of 10 for 143 yards and all three of PV’s touchdowns. But that is not the whole story. The Rams ran the ball for another 324 yards, including 149 by Corey Hazel and 75 by Taylor Collison. That’s 467 of total offense, and PV may have to do that again — or even more — against Clearfield. Christian Lezzer is back for the Bison and the D-1 prospect is starting in 2013 where he left off in 2012. In Week 2, Page 25

State High falls in season opener By BEN JONES

StateCollege.com

BETHLEHEM â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Little Lions competed in a tough road game over the weekend, eventually losing 14-10 to Liberty High School. State College took a 10-7 lead into the locker room at half time but a fake punt on 4th-and-1 was stuffed early in the third quarter. And that was enough to swing the momentum in the home teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favor. Liberty took over on the State College 39 after stopping the fake punt attempt. The Hurricanes went to work quickly with two big plays before having to try a fourth and

six conversion which was successful. Only a few plays later junior Tyrique Scipio, finished the drive with his 3-yard run up the middle for an easy score. Pata Eighmyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extra point gave the Hurricanes a 14-10 lead with 1:56 left in the third quarter. Battling back and forth, the Little Lions didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up, driving nearly 70 yards with 3:16 remaining to the Hurricanesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 11 yard line. State College couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find the endzone though and a tipped pass on fourth down with only 40 seconds remaining ended the drive. State College will travel back home to Memorial Field to take on Central Moun-

tain this Friday. The Wildcats enter the game with a 0-1 record after falling to Williamsport 24-21. Kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m.

Key Losses â&#x20AC;&#x201D; L.J. Flood, Travis Giedroc, Eric Henderson, Evan Kim, Ben Leskovansky, Damon Lucas, Jared Mauer, Doug Rogers, Grant Tate and Sean Walzer. Returning Lettermen â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brandon Gettig (junior midfielder), Gage Hilderbrand (junior midfielder), Nathan Styles (junior striker) and Sam Vancise (senior defender). Strengths â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Returning two midfielders with scoring ability helps the Eagles, who begin their season Saturday in the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual kickoff tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The strength of the team will be Gage and Brandon in the middle,â&#x20AC;? Bair said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After that, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a lot of inexperience. I just have to wait to see what the guys are going to show me.â&#x20AC;? Concerns â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Most of the players are upperclassmen who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possess significant playing time. Coming off a year in which Bald Eagle suffered three one-goal losses to Bellefonte, trying to figure out which players are able to make the jump in competition will be a main focus of Bair.â&#x20AC;?The majority of the team are eleventh-grad-

Basically, whatever I have this year, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be bringing the same thing back next year, so I like that part of it.â&#x20AC;? Outlook â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Eagles lost 10 seniors off last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team, essentially the entire starting lineup, Bair said. So this season, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready to display patience, even if he still expects the team to qualify for the district play-

offs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(That) we continue to learn from game to game and continue to get better,â&#x20AC;? Bair said of how heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll define success this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want each game to be a learning tool. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to get upset with the guys because of the experience. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just going to strive to get better as the season goes on.â&#x20AC;?

Seth Caldwell chipped in with 123 more yards and a TD as Clearfield racked up 401 total yards without a turnover. Outlook â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Can PV control the ball with its running game enough to keep Lezzer, et. al., on the bench? If the Rams canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, Clearfield will simply score too many points.

Mountain running back Cory Warford rushed for 198 yards on 18 carries to lead Line Mountain past Philipsburg-Osceola. In addition to scoring three offensive touchdowns, he returned an interception for a score. The Mounties were led by Curtis Matsko, who carried the ball 18 times for 96 yards. n St. Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 46, Mercyhurst Prep 6 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The St. Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wolves came away winners in the first-ever high school football game at the school. The Wolves scored early and often in the rout of Mercyhurst Prep. The Wolves (1-0) will play their first away game in school history this week, traveling to Towanda.

Huntingdon dropped its opener to Mt. Union on Friday, 26-20, and the Bearcats seemed only interested in running the ball in that game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something they do very well. Huntingdon passed for only 11 yards but rushed 53 times for 320 yards and two touchdowns against Mt. Union. Devon Claar led Huntingdon with 179 yards and a touchdown and Rhett Stetchock added another 110 to the Bearcat attack. Hudson Speck is the quarterback, and he completed 3 of 7 for 11 yards, but Huntingdon uses the pass as a diversion. For Bellefonte, which gave up 428 total yards and 268 on the ground against BEA last Friday, it is imperative to shore up its run defense. A young team under first-year head coach Shanon Manning, the Raiders are looking to improve in their second game under the new schemes. Outlook â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Stopping the Huntingdon run and keeping mistakes to a minimum will be the keys for Bellefonte. This could be an opportunity for coach Manningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first win. Bellefonteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second home game of the season is scheduled to kick at 7.

Ty Gates, 4 and 3 while Kirby dispatched Brian Mehalick 1 up on the 19th hole.

NITTANY

The defending champions were Scott Gray, who won his first men’s title in 2012, and 10-time champion Barb Roberts on the women’s side. The women’s semifinal has Donna Lannan facing M.J. Bolden while Sally Fletcher plays Cathy Gray. On the men’s side, Dave Myers faces Brad Fritchman and Jerry Fisher plays Chuck Colyer.

PENN STATE

Women’s defending champion Rose Rath won her third straight title and seventh overall while Carlo Wiley claimed the men’s title. Nick Plate was the defending men’s champion.

PHILIPSBURG

The defending champions are Doug Goss (men’s champ, 1993, 1998 and 2012) and Jody Czap (15-time women’s champion 1984, 1987, 1997-2000 and 2006-2012). With the 2013 championship in progress, the low qualifier was Pat Brown, shooting a 36-hole score of 133. He is a three-time champion. A key featured first round matchup pits two-time champion Nate Lucas against seven-time champion Jim Dixon. The winner plays the winner of the Pat Brown versus Ryan Dobo match. That matchup guarantees two former champions of being knocked out of the tournament by the end of the first day. The 2013 championship features five former champions that have won18 titles and three former runner-ups. Since 1975, only 14 men and eight women have won the titles.

SKYTOP MOUNTAIN

The defending champions are David Hurd (men) and Rick Villastrigo (senior men). The club championships will be held on Sept. 15 and will feature a number of competitive categories, including a ladies’ competition to determine the club’s first champion.

Aiyana Whitney added six kills, and Micha Hancock had 30 assists and seven digs in the match against Syracuse. Their second game on Saturday saw more of the same, as the women’s volleyball team handily downed Louisville to take the tournament and start their season 2-0. The Nittany Lions beat the Cardinals in straight sets (25-15, 25-16, 25-13) to finish off an impressive season-opening weekend. “I thought it was a good match against a very competitive opponent,” coach Russ Rose said. “They have five seniors, and the two freshmen outside hitters are very athletic. We had to play well.” Micha Hancock, Katie Slay and Paulina Prieto Cerame were named to the Penn State Invitational all-tournament team for their play on Saturday. The team will next travel to Austin, Texas, to face defending national champion Texas and No. 9 Florida in the Nike Volleyball Big Four Tournament.

UNIVERSITY PARK — The Penn State women’s volleyball team has gained the No. 1 spot in the nation in the AVCA Coaches’ Poll after a 2-0 weekend to open the season. The Nittany Lions earned 50 of 60 first-place votes in the season’s first poll after winning the Penn State Invitational. The women’s volleyball team swept the competition in the tournament on Saturday. The team also topped the Polish National Team in straight sets in an exhibition on Friday night. The Nittany Lions started the tournament against Syracuse on Saturday morning, and their victory came a little easier than the football team’s game against the Orange on the same day. The women’s volleyball team defeated Syracuse in straight sets to kick off the four-team tournament. Thanks to an outstanding .414 hitting percentage, they were able to win their first set of the season to the tune of a commanding 25-16 score. They took the second set 25-15 and the third set 25-17 to finish the sweep and head on to the fi-

Brace yourselves, Pirates fans — .500 is a reality There is a possibility that when you’re reading this edition of The Centre County Gazette, the Pittsburgh Pirates will have 81 — or 82 — wins. That sentence alone should be cause for a celebration. Not a parade, just a celebration. C’mon, there’s still work to be done this year. While long-suffering and recently added fans are both counting up to 82 — a number that guarantees that the Pirates will halt a generation-long streak of futility, frustration and — at times — downright awful baseball. Pittsburgh teased that magical number the last two seasons, falling frustratingly Shawn Curtis short last season with covers Pittsburgh 79 wins. sports for the Pending an asteroid Centre County Gazette. Follow colliding Pittsburgh or him on Twitter the earth swallowing @shawncurtis430. PNC Park, the Pirates will hit 82 wins. People will commemorate that as if the team won the World Series, all while the Pirates are still in the thick of a National League Central race which has every intention of graying hairs in Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Cincinnati. But … 82. That number has been the

SHAWN CURTIS

obsession for a sect of Pirates fans. Starting in May, fans were trying to pinpoint the date that 82 was going to come. A day when all the losing stopped – or at least took a sabbatical. By rights it’ll happen this week, if not already. Fans, you’re merely at a checkpoint for what this Pirates team should be capable of this year. Remember arcade games? Remember the games that forced you to reach certain goals within a designated period of time to continue playing? If you reached it, great. If not, in went another quarter or token. That’s 82 wins. The Pirates – even given the last 20 seasons – won’t erect a flagpole and celebrate 2013 in flag form at PNC Park without some accomplishment tied with a winning season. Enjoy the progress that was reached with this team and the potential of what can be a great fall. Embrace the fact that the Pirates are in the conversation for anything related to the postseason which doesn’t involve namedropping Stan Belinda, Sid Bream or Francisco Cabrera. Above all else, be happy with 82 (or more) wins but don’t be wholly satisfied with that. It may be another 20 years before this kind of season happens again in Pittsburgh. nnn Meanwhile, across the (dwindling) parking-lot space along the city’s North Shore, the University of Pittsburgh entered a new era for its athletic programs in grand fashion until Monday’s game kicked off.

Sure, the 41-13 loss to a superior Florida State team stung a bit, but the Panthers are in a much better place than they were and that will only help to make the squad better and improve the quality of football in Pennsylvania if Penn State has to engage in in-state arms races again. What will Panthers athletics gain now that the school is a member of the ACC? More stability than the Big East, wider exposure in football — even if the team is subpar for years after the move … Oh, and television money. Lots and lots of television money because networks believe in the ACC a lot more than what the Big East was or what it became — the American Athletic Conference — on the gridiron. The irony is that that Pitt reunites with old conference mates Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College while hopping on board this year with Syracuse and patiently awaiting next year’s arrival of Louisville. So of the 14 football-playing members of the ACC in 2014, six will be former Big East members. Also, Notre Dame — a member in everything but football — joins the ACC this academic year. Miami and Virginia Tech took the first train out of the Big East in 2003 with Boston College also bailing in 2004. Up to that point, the Big East was a basketball conference that decided to try the whole football thing in 1991 with honest-to-goodness conference play starting in 1993. Through everything that the conference endured, the football end of things just felt like a

formality without much in the way of true hype. That may have been because Pitt was an also-ran when the conference reached its football peak in the late-1990s and early-2000s with the Virginia Techs, Syracuses and Miamis of the world engaging in tremendous battles. By the time that Pittsburgh had an emerging football power, two of the three superpower schools mentioned had their bags packed for the ACC and the other was already in decline. Temple was booted for not being competitive enough, only to be brought back in last season. West Virginia, Pitt’s truest rival in the football end of things, headed west to the Big XII last year, taking with it the Backyard Brawl, which until the last decade always felt like Pitt’s placeholder rivalry in years (too many) when the school wasn’t battling Penn State. Cincinnati, Louisville, South Florida and Connecticut filled voids left by departing members. Again, the football end of the Big East never truly felt like home, but it was a place to stay. It only took Monday for Pittsburgh to find a sense of home in its new league. This is what Penn State has in the Big Ten, though select members still see Penn State as “that school out east.” Pitt’s football successes in the ACC may be a long way off, but having a stable home in a conference committed to across-theboard improvement instead of just housing a strong hoops conference can do wonders for helping individual programs improve their stature.

Lady Rams hope that there’s strength in numbers By JOHN PATISHNOCK

sports@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — A closer look at the 2013 Penns Valley High School girl’s cross country team: Head coach — Carly Lynch, third season. 2012 Record — 4-2, third in Mountain League; ended season by finishing second at Mountain League Championships. Key Losses — None. Returning Lettermen — Haley Brown (junior), Emma Federinko (senior), Alyssa Limbaugh (junior), Katie Smith (junior), Mackenzie Wenrick (junior) and Malarie Yoder (sophomore). Strengths — The Rams’ roster has nearly doubled from last season, when they didn’t possess the maximum number of seven runners per race. For the first time as coach, Lynch ran

time trials specifically to see who would qualify for the varsity race and who would run the JV contests. It’s a process that’s bound to help everybody. “The strength of the team is in numbers, actually — last year I had six and now I have 11,” Lynch said. “They’re excited about that; it’s as exciting to them as much as it is to me … We’ve never had these numbers since I started.” Concerns — Lynch said she doesn’t harbor any concerns heading into the year, just curiosity concerning the team’s ceiling. “I don’t know that I can pinpoint what exactly they can do as a team,” Lynch said. “So that’s a big question mark to me, how far can we go.” Outlook — The team’s No. 1 runner for the last three years, Limbaugh returns to lead Penns Valley into its first big challenge of the season: Saturday’s litmus test against a few dozen opposing teams.

Lehman out for the season By BEN JONES

UNIVERSITY PARK — PSU football has taken the first injury blow of the 2013 campaign, losing tight end Matt Lehman for the season, head coach Bill O’Brien said. Lehman crumpled while turning a route early in this past weekend’s game against Syracuse. During his weekly injury update,

O’Brien said that Lehman would be out for the year but did not specify the type of injury. Lehman appeared to have hurt his left knee. O’Brien also mentioned that tight end Kyle Carter is day-to-day. Carter appeared to injure his elbow on a special teams play but stayed in for the rest of the game with his arm heavily wrapped. The team remains healthy beyond any previously reported injuries.

O’Brien keeps positives in mind following win By BEN JONES

StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Winning has always come naturally to the Penn State football program. Each season expectations are set high, both by those directly involved with the program and those just observing it. For the most part those expectations have been met, and as a result Penn State football has grown over the years to become one of the most successful college football programs in Division I history. So when the Nittany Lions beat Syracuse 23-17 last weekend there was little cause for celebration in large part due to the continuing expectations that winning will still be the norm in Happy Valley. That may very well be true. A talented cast of coaches and hard-working players to boot has made Bill O’Brien’s first year and one game in Happy Valley a memorable one for fans. However, for all of those positives, Penn State football faces uphill battles game after game, for what very well could be the next five or more years. O’Brien knows this, and despite all of the odds faced on Saturday the Nittany Lions still won, something fans can be thankful for. “We went into the game at MetLife Stadium with a true freshman at quarterback,” O’Brien said Tuesday at his weekly teleconference. “I think it was 104 degrees on the field throughout the game. We didn’t have our best wide receiver for the first half because of what I decided to do there.” “Defensively we put the defense into some tough situations. We did this with 65 scholarship players. We’ve got a very tough, resilient football team. Personally I’m going to try to do the best I can to improve this week as a head coach and do a better job offensively, defensively and special teams. But to me, I just think we should be talking about (the positives) a lot.”

PENN STATE head coach Bill O’Brien is excited to be 1-0, but he realizes there is a long way to go.

And that’s where O’Brien gets it right. No matter how easy winning has been for Penn State in the past, each win in the “new era” of NCAA-sanctioned football is a reason for O’Brien to celebrate, and he’s hoping fans do to. “But winning, winning, winning is the most important thing, and we won the football game. Winning is like salt water, it cures everything. It’s like saltwater; it cures everything. And you’re from Pennsylvania so you don’t even know about saltwater, but I’m from the cape,” O’Brien said laughing. “Winning’s the bottom line and we won the football game. I thought it was just collectively a good team effort.”

Hackenberg, Ficken capture Big Ten honors By BEN JONES

StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — That didn’t take long. Penn State Freshman quarterback Christian Hackenberg was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week on Monday morning and placekicker Sam Ficken was rewarded with the Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week honor. Ficken was selected the conference’s Special Teams Player of the Week for the second time in his career. Ficken was awarded the honor after last year’s overtime win over Wisconsin, when he hit the game-winning field goal. Ficken continued his streak of 10 consecutive field goals this past weekend, adding three more kicks of

36, 35 and 46 yards in the win over Syracuse. His career-long 46-yard connection early in the fourth quarter gave the Nittany Lions a 16-10 lead. Four of Ficken’s six kickoffs were recorded as touchbacks. Hackenberg was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week after directing Penn State to the win over the Orange in his first collegiate start. In the second half against the Orange, Hackenberg was 11 of 16 for 209 yards and two touchdowns. Hackenberg also became the 27th quarterback in school history to post a 200-yard passing game, falling only three yards shy of setting the single-game school passing record for a freshman. Penn State will play its next three games at home before starting conference play on the road at Indiana.

A look inside covering the Nittany Lions By BEN JONES

StateCollege.com

The sign inside the visiting media room at MetLife Stadium says that any occupancy over 49 people is unlawful. Judging by the overflow of media almost back out into the hallway, that number had either been reached following Penn State’s win over Syracuse, or college football reporters are just larger people than those covering the Jets and the Giants. I’m not convinced that “small” journalists are the average. Penn State coach Bill O’Brien has dragged this kind of crowd around with him since he stepped on campus over a year ago. It’s a mixed bag of regulars and national reporters, with the occasional local scribe popping up to ask a question about a player of local interest. O’Brien may no longer be the new kid on the block, but it will be some time before his story isn’t interesting. Penn State has never lacked for media attention in the past, and the current circumstances make the story all that more compelling. So for now it’s just part of the job. For the most part O’Brien has maintained a positive relationship with the media as a whole. Every coach has a mental list of reporters he likes or doesn’t like, but in large O’Brien has handled the transition from the airtight Belichick regime to the more leak-prone world of college football well. Similarly, the topic of postgame was Nittany Lion freshman quarterback Christian Hackenberg, whose starting role had been published by ESPN a day or so prior to the game. It was information known by a handful of regular beat writers, but the likely negative backlash from O’Brien in this particular situation was not worth the reward. Get the scoop, but maybe O’Brien gets to your sources and you lose a scoop for a story that really matters. It’s a difficult line to walk, one that could take several posts to discuss. While Hackenberg remained the talking

point of the day, so was standout receiver Allen Robinson, who was benched in the first half by O’Brien. The coach wasted no time getting a jab in. “That’s between me and Allen,” O’Brien said ever so slightly like he was jabbing the air with each word. “I’m sure some of the beat reporters will try and beat it out of our players like you did the starting quarterback job, but that’s between Allen and I.” A subtle reminder that unlike his predecessor he reads a good amount of what is said, even alluding to the slight offense he takes reading that he was indecisive about the quarterback position. “That’s one thing about me,” O’Brien said. “I make bad decisions, but I always make decisions.” From there O’Brien is as cheerful as he ever is with the media, a mixture of genuine respect with a level of annoyance similar to the feeling one gets having to empty the dishwasher. It’s not that it’s bad to do, you’d just rather be doing other things. But even so the respect between the two parties is an interesting dynamic. For as much as O’Brien looks forward to the end of his conferences, a PowerPoint slide during an early-season team meeting mentions that the media is the bridge between the fans and the program, reminding players to be polite and on time to interviews. In return, O’Brien would rather not have to answer the same question twice or answer ones so broad he can recite them in his sleep. Answers that include Hackenberg’s young age and the number of weeks removed from his senior prom have become a popular go-to in the days leading up to Penn State’s opener. Getting a good answer from O’Brien takes work. If you put thought into your question and how you articulate it, and your question/point is accurate, O’Brien will often oblige you with a straight answer. Fail to meet some of these criteria and O’Brien might address the question with a little less enthusiasm. “You seemed to take the wraps off of (Hackenberg) in the second half,” one reporter said.

Honda Accord

The family sedan, elevated. The Honda Accord and the Honda Fit have always been favorites of critics and this year is no exception.

Honda Fit

Intelligence in five-door form. There’s more intelligence packed into the Fit than in many cars nearly twice its size.

“Not really,” O’Brien stated, squinting his eyes as he took a drink from his bottled water. “We ran the ball a lot, so not really.” Eleven minutes after entering the room O’Brien leaves back through the parting sea of reporters before shaking the hand of the last reporter he crosses in the room. O’Brien opens the door, turns right and walks back up the ramp toward the locker room. For now, the dishes are clean and put away.

ALL THESE KICKER QUESTIONS:

Anytime Penn State kicker Sam Ficken is available to the media he wears a certain look that much like his head coach, he knows what’s coming. For better or worse Ficken’s 13 straight field goal streak continues to open questions about his upand-down start to the 2012 season. Ficken can see the questions coming before they even get there, and leaning up against the wall of the MetLife Stadium field tunnel he prepares himself for them. About six hours earlier Ficken took the field and sized up his kicks, still in shorts and a T-shirt. Over three hours away from the start of the game the would-be Week One Big Ten Special Teams player of the Week was lining up kicks in his head. Be it confidence or a good day, Ficken was true on all three kicks including a career high 46-yard attempt that may have been good from 50-plus. “I made the last kick I took,” Ficken said. “But that was a long time ago, so it’s always good to get the first one out of the way.” His teammates recognized his improvements too, giving him a healthy cheer following the game once they were back inside the locker room. “It means a lot, coming from where I came from,” Ficken said. “It feels good and it’s a boost to the confidence. Penn State’s record for consecutive made field goals? Ficken needs nine more to tie.

NO FOOD, JUST TOWELS:

After a Penn State home game you see a few different things in the media room. One of the more unexpected things though is boxes of pizza. Players will enter with entire boxes to themselves, sometimes open and half-finished. Saturday there was no pizza though as defensive tackle DaQuan Jones carried two towels with him, mopping sweat off his face as fast as it appeared. The senior had maybe the game of his career with nine tackles, three for a loss and one sack. Being named one of the top prospects in his NFL draft class by NFL. com isn’t a big deal to him though. “I don’t really pay too much mind to that,” Jones said. “I’m still just trying to go out there and play my game and enjoy this time with my team. I see that stuff and

people show it to me but I really don’t pay mind to any of it.” For many players, even more so on the defensive side of the ball, hype can kill. Heisman hopeful South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney struggled in his season opener, so getting off on the right foot was great for Jones. “Just to get after it is great,” Jones said. “My dream is to be able to play in the NFL and me taking plays off ain’t gonna get me there. So I’m playing as hard as I can and am just trying to make plays.” And the advice he got from former teammate and NFL defensive tackle Jordan Hill on being able to make plays? “Be active and really be verbal out there,” Jones said, taking another healthy swipe with the towel. “Help people line up and talk to the defensive line and the linebackers and really take charge out there on the field.”

ALL ALONE BUT READY TO GO:

Tight end turned offensive tackle Garry Gilliam is one of the funnier guys to cover on the team. While some may shy away from the camera, he famously uploads YouTube videos of him and his friends lipsyncing popular R&B or rap songs. On the field though and in the locker room there are few people on the Penn State roster more respected. The do-anything effort was obvious following a fumble by Allen Robinson that placed Gilliam, at 303 pounds, as the only obstacle between the oncoming Syracuse defender and Penn State’s end zone. Gilliam rose to the occasion and wrapped the defender up, saving a sure six points. Syracuse wouldn’t get a single point despite the short field and in large part thanks to Gilliam. In a game with more than a few broken tackles Gilliam may have provided Penn State with the best technical effort on the tackling side. As the remark is coming out, Gilliam is already smiling as he leans into the wall. “I had about 30 yards between us and it really gave me a lot of time to think,” Gilliam said laughing. “And when you’re put in that kind of situation you’ve got to make the play.”

TRASH TORNADO:

From the tunnel the media makes its collective journey back up to the sixth floor of MetLife Stadium to file game stories. This doesn’t happen without a quick walk across the field and the occasional Mark Sanchez butt-fumble recreations for good measure. By the time writers start to leave around 10:30 that night the parking lot is empty minus a trash tornado flipping bottles and other remains from the day’s crowd across the parking lot. So you know, pick up your trash.

Hanchar returns home for ‘Happy Pink Girl’ By ANNE WALKER

correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Centre County native Sarah Hanchar has performed onstage in metropolitan areas including Chicago and Orlando. This month, Hanchar will present a very special one-woman musical comedy show for the hometown crowd at The State Theatre at 8 p.m., Sept. 19 and 20. She calls her show “Happy Pink Girl.”

IF YOU GO What: “Happy Pink Girl” starring Sarah Hanchar When: 8 p.m., Sept. 19 and 20 Where: The State Theatre More info: www.thestatetheatre.org “I’m beyond thrilled to come home for this,” the singer-songwriter said. Accompanied by pianist Elaine Pechacek, Hanchar will sing original pieces including a song called “Awkward,” which she describes as “a song about growing up as an awkward child and turning into an

awkward adult.” She interjects humorous monologue into the performance and will recall lighthearted episodes from her own life. In addition, she plans to debut a new song, “Ode to Pennsylvania.” “I really miss Pennsylvania,” Hanchar said. “I miss seeing people wearing orange. I miss tax-free clothing, the Grange Fair and whoopie pies!” Hanchar’s background includes studies at The College of Santa Fe in New Mexico, followed by performances with Second City’s musical improv house ensemble team, Infinite Sundaes, in Chicago. She then landed a gig with Walt Disney World, which took her to her current residence in Florida. “I do plan to sing a quick ode to ‘The Little Mermaid’ in addition to the original songs,” she said, because she loves the movie. But mostly, Hanchar said, she loves to make people laugh. “I hope everyone leaves the theater feeling happy,” she stressed, “because you deserve to be a happy pink girl, too!” Parents can expect a very family-friendly show, and plenty of pink.

Cirque Éloize leaps into fanciful urban universe in Cirkopolis From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — Cirkopolis, the newest creation from Montreal’s Cirque Éloize, dives into a vibrant imaginary world and pushes the boundaries of visual and audio innovation through different forms of projections. Circus, dance, music and theater meet in an urban landscape of the imagination at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 27 at Penn State’s Eisenhower Auditorium. The classic films “Metropolis” and “Brazil” inspired the unique imagery that takes audiences into this industrial yet fanciful sculptural city. The 12 performers — and audiences of all ages — shift between dream and reality in an uninterrupted stream of acrobatics, music and dazzling images. Tickets for the Center for the Performing Arts presentation are available online at http://cpa.psu.edu or by phone at (814) 863-0255. Outside the local calling area, call (800) ARTS-TIX. Tickets are also available at four State College locations: Eisen-

hower Auditorium (weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), Penn State Downtown Theatre Center (weekdays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.), HUB-Robeson Center Information Desk (weekdays, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.) and Bryce Jordan Center (weekdays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.). A grant from the University Park Allocation Committee makes Penn State student prices possible. Co-commissioned by the Center for the Performing Arts, Cirkopolis unfolds in the heart of an imposing city in which giant gears and dark portals symbolize the crushing lack of individuality. Bathed in the music of an original score and surrounded by projected video, the performers rage against monotony, reinvent themselves and dare the limits of the factory city in which they’re bound. “Cirkopolis was imagined as a crossroads between imagination and reality, between individuality and community, between limits and possibilities,” said Jeannot Painchaud, Cirque Éloize artistic director and co-director of Cirkopolis. “The

show is driven by the poetic impulse of life, the physical prowess of the circus and the humor, at once serious and light-hearted. Cirkopolis is all about letting go and allowing yourself to be borne aloft by hope.” Cirkopolis features a number of circus disciplines, including contortion, trapeze, Cyr wheel, Diabolo, straps, Spanish web, hand to hand, balancing, Chinese pole, German wheel, teeterboard and group acrobatics. Painchaud co-founded the company in 1993. A native of Québec, he has worked in the circus arts for more than a quarter century. This marks Cirque Éloize’s fourth appearance at the Center for the Performing Arts. The company’s most recent visit to Eisenhower was in 2011’s iD. Artistic Viewpoints, an informal moderated discussion featuring Cirkopolis’ tour manager Valérie D’Amours, is offered in Eisenhower one hour before the performance and is free for ticket holders. Artistic Viewpoints regularly fills to capacity, so seating is available on a firstarrival basis.

MONTREAL’S CIRQUE ELOIZE will make a stop at Penn State’s Eisenhower Auditorium on Sept. 27.

The creation of Cirkopolis was cocommissioned by Société de développement des entreprises culturelles (SODEC), Crédits d’impôt spectacle du gouvernement du Québec, Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, Conseil des arts de Montréal et Conseil des arts du Canada, the Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State and La Place des Arts.

Professor provides sonifications for Mickey Hart album From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — Mark Ballora, associate professor of music technology at Penn State, provided sonifications of scientific data that were used on “Superorganism,” the latest album from Mickey Hart, ethnomusicologist and former Grateful Dead percussionist. He previously provided sonifications for Hart on his album “Mysterium Tremendum” and participated in special

performances commemorating the anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge and at a presentation given to the AARP in September 2012. While the sonifications for “Mysterium Tremendum” were of large-scale astronomical phenomena, the work on “Superorganism” is based on sonifications of activity on the cellular level in the human body. Mark also provided liner note material for the album that can be seen online at mickeyhart.net/mysterium.

Expert offers tips to students to ease financial burden This past weekend Penn State University Park Campus and State College saw the return of about 35,000 undergraduate students. Downtown businesses applauded the almost doubling of the town’s population and the upcoming return of Penn State football. According to a 2008 independent study done by Tripp Umbach & Associates of Pittsburgh and commissioned by Penn State, students’ spending added $932 million to Pennsylvania’s economy. The biggest impact can be felt in Happy Valley. A 2007 study by Global Insight found that visitor spending spurred by Penn State football generates more than Judy Loy, ChFC, $352 million annuis a registered ally for Centre County investment advisor and almost 17 percent and CEO at of the Centre County Nestlerode & Loy Investment Adviworkforce supports sors, State College. tourism within the Loy is a regular county.

what types of loans to take, where to live and more. According to the Congress Joint Economic Community, two-thirds of college students earning a four-year degree in 2011 graduated with college debt. Student debt balance was, on average, 60 percent of a graduate’s annual income. In 2013, outstanding student debt totaled nearly one trillion dollars. In addition, the average college student graduates with $2,200 in credit card debt. College students are starting out at a disadvantage economically, so smart financial decisions during the college years can mean less of a burden later on. After tuition, room and board are the next most expensive part of college. Students benefit financially if they can live at home and take the bus to college. It may not be glamorous, but it will seem that way when you can use your future employment income for buying a house rather than for student loan debt. Students can also save on expenses by starting their college experience at a smaller college close to home and then transferring to a larger college or a main campus of a university. For those who don’t have the option of living at home, the dorm is the next best option. Typically, off-campus living costs 10 to 40 times more than dorm life. Another way a student can ease the financial burden of college is to get a parttime job. This extra income can be used to help pay for fun activities, tuition or books. For students with loans, it’s a good

do it on some party night. The $2,200 average credit card balance typical for a graduating student can take a long time to repay. According to an Adecco 2011 survey, only 57 percent of recent college graduates are working a full-time job and the average time until a job was found after graduation was six months. It’s hard to pay on a credit card and student loans when you don’t have a job. While you wait, interest is compounding to make it more difficult to pay off the balance. Even though the unemployment rate of college graduates is half the rate of those with just a high school diploma, overall unemployment for recent college grads is still 7.9 percent. Finding a job is the best way for a student to improve their financial situation. Therefore, working every angle to get a job is important -- use the college employment services and build networks at school through volunteering and internships. Studies show that 60 percent of the time, a student who gets a paid internship will get a full-time job offer. Unpaid internships only return a job offer 37 percent of the time. Students need to apply for many jobs and start a job search early. Three of the top regrets of college graduates were failing to start their job search early, not applying for more jobs and not networking in college. In short, making better financial decisions now can help a student buy a house earlier, retire earlier and enjoy the fruits of their labor and diploma earlier.

idea to pay the interest on the loans while in school – this lowers the loan balance so that when the student graduates, the focus can be on paying down the principal. The average student pays $1,137 for books and supplies each year. Planning ahead to purchase books for the semester can pay off. Online stores and used books can help lower the overall bill for these course supplies. Both students and adults need to track their spending to realize where their money is going. Saving receipts is the easiest way to stay aware of what you are spending. In turn, having a checking account with an ATM card can help manage expenses as long as you track expenditures and reconcile the account. Since students are more tech savvy, they may find online banking and mobile apps particularly convenient. Current banking apps allow customers to make deposits, transfer funds, pay bills and check balances, which is perfect for the student on the go. Just read the fine print before opening a checking account. Most college towns have banks that offer student checking accounts that can help avoid nuisance charges like ATM fees and low balance charges. In addition, it is important to monitor account balances carefully to avoid steep overdraft charges. Students should also avoid getting credit cards unless they absolutely need one. If a credit card is needed, try a card with a low minimum balance so you don’t get caught short in being able to pay it or over-

HORSE THERAPY FOR DEPRESSION Wildfire Ranch: (wildfireranch.org) is a breathtakingly beautiful horse ranch in Spring Mills, Pa. They use their horses to heal people from depression, anxi‑ ety, sadness. The power of God works thru their horses to heal. I have suffered with anxiety since I was little. Since visiting the ranch I have not had to take my anxiety meds! The rates are very rea‑ sonable and no one is turned away because of their financial situation. Horse‑therapy is quickly becoming rec‑ ognized across America for it’s proven healing benefits. Horse‑ shealingheroes.org is one such charity help‑ ing veterans and their families heal from post‑traumatic stress using horses. The horses have proven to help people heal from bi‑polarism, manic de‑ pression, suicide, au‑ tism and just ‘normal’ depression cauesd by circumstances. Visit www.wildfireranch.org and call Cynthia: (814) 422‑0534. The normal rates are $30/hour which is FAR less ex‑ pensive than counseling ‑ and ALOT more fun! Testimony provided by Tara Tressler
