Kids, PSU players groove at dance By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — The Centre County Down Syndrome Society’s annual Dance Party just gets bigger and better. This year, children, their families and members of the community filled the cafeteria at Bellefonte Area High School on March 16 for the event, which featured music, games, food and fun. “This is amazing,” said Sarah Brownson, one of the event organizers. “We were a little concerned about the weather, but it cleared up right before the dance like it was supposed to happen that way. Everyone came out and had a really good time.” There were some special guests at the dance party, including several Penn State football players who were a huge hit with the kids. The players danced, signed autographs and played games. “The kids are just thrilled, seeing the football players out there,” Brownson said. According to Penn State defensive end Brad Bars, getting involved in the community is just part of being a Nittany Lion. “We just wanted to come out and have a lot of fun. We wanted to dance with them, have a good time. We know some of these

guys from other Special Olympic events,” Bars said. “They let us know that they really wanted us to be here and we wanted to be here, supporting them.” Punter Alex Butterworth said that events like the dance party and Special Olympics are important to him. “My little brother has a chromosome disorder, so I really enjoying things like this and the Special Olympics. We start (spring) practice on Monday, so it’s good to let loose like this and have a little fun with these kids,” he said. Defensive end Carl Nassib said that there’s nowhere the players would rather be. “Seeing them out there have a good time is just awesome,” he said. “These kids are great dancers … better dancers than us, they really are. I’m new to this. I had no idea stuff like this went on around here. It’s really cool.” Although Penn State head coach Bill O’Brien was unable to attend this year, Bars said that he encouraged the players to attend. “He really wants us to be well-rounded student-athletes,” Bars said. “Contributing

UNIVERSITY PARK — For Penn State senior 197-pounder Quentin Wright, returning home from the 2013 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships this weekend without a second NCAA championship won’t be the end of the world. The former Bald Eagle Area High School standout is known as a champion on the mat, but off the mat his wrestling exploits don’t define him anymore. “After I won the national title two years ago I came to realize that wrestling’s not the end of

UNIVERSITY PARK — Former President of Ireland Mary Robinson challenged those in the audience last Wednesday at Eisenhower Auditorium to determine what their individual duties are to the community. “The more you give … the more you, yourself, are enriched,” she said. Robinson’s March 13 speech, “The Future of Ethical Leadership in a Global Society,” was sponsored by the Schreyer Honors College, the Presidential Leadership Academy, the Student Programming Association and the University Park Allocation

Committee. The first female to serve as president of Ireland, Robinson was elected in 1990 for a seven-year term.

Penn State suspends contract with Adidas By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State has suspended its contract with Adidas, and a group of University Park students played a vital role in the decision. The decision to suspend the contract was made on March 13, shortly after issues were raised regarding the closing of an Indonesian clothing factory in 2011. When the PT Kizone factory closed its doors, workers were left without severance pay. United Students Against Sweatshops member Anna Leah Kincaid said Adidas owes the former workers at the PT Kizone factory near $2 million. “The factory was used by Adidas, Nike and the Dallas Cowboys. The workers were owed $3.3 million in severance pay, which was legally mandated because they closed the factory,” Kincaid said. “Nike and the Opinion ........................................ 7 Health & Wellness ........................ 8 Education ..................................... 9

Dallas Cowboys paid theirs, but Adidas still owes $1.8 million. It’s a lot. The workers don’t have any money to pay for rent or their children’s tuition. The workers were given food vouchers, which really doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface.” The controversy led to Penn State suspending the contract with Adidas. “Members of the Penn State community, including students, faculty and administration, have engaged in collaborative discussion and decision-making for months regarding the very important issues raised by the closure of the PT Kizone factory in Indonesia in 2011,” University President Rodney Erickson said in a letter to Adidas. “It is obvious to us that there are profound limits to our University’s influence over the substantial and complex issues created by the current supply chain

Wright, from page 1 to an injury to the starter. He then proceeded to put together a solid 15-7 regularseason record and placed sixth at the NCAA tournament. His only losses were to fifth-year seniors. After redshirting the next year, Wright struggled a bit to find his way during the 2010-11 season at 184 pounds. But, in the postseason, he caught fire, going 4-0 on his way to a Big Ten championship and 5-0 at the NCAA tournament on his way to the championship. The 2011-12 season brought another run to the NCAA final only with a different ending. He met Cornell’s Steve Bosak, a fellow Centre County native who Wright knew and had worked out with throughout his formative wrestling years. Bosak prevented a Wright repeat with a 4-2 sudden victory win. This year, Wright is a perfect 27-0 entering the tournament. He cruised to another Big Ten championship, this time at 197 pounds. He enters the national tournament seeded second behind undefeated Dustin Kilgore, a two-time All-American from Kent State who was the 197-pound champion in 2010-11. So, is it possible for a wrestler as accomplished as Wright to leave Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa, on Saturday without another gold medal and not have regrets? “Definitely. You never know what might happen. I might get hurt. You never know. Something major could happen. But you

always prepare to give it your best. I always say, I’ll do my best, let God do the rest and I’ll be satisfied,” he said. “Wrestling to me is just a game, but you want to go out there to win at that game. After the match, I want to be able to think back and say, ‘I played well. I wrestled well. I did it to the best of my abilities and I have no regrets. Everything outside (of wrestling) gives me that peace to have that attitude.” It’s what Wright claims outside of wrestling that gives him the peace of mind to put a sport in its proper perspective. “My senior year has been a lot more relaxed,” he said. “I’m finishing up school, I’m married (to Lauren last summer), I’ve got a little one on the way, a little boy, 2033 national champion, or so. Life’s about the journey, so I’m just enjoying that journey.” Still, that journey includes one more NCAA tournament. “It’s the last one,” Wright said. “I have to show everything I’ve got out there and turn it up.” Turning it up for Wright comes in two forms. The first is high-amplitude throws, headlocks and inside trips. The second is a steady diet of devastating freight-train doubles. Both strategies are available in Wright’s arsenal. “It depends on how the match is going, what they’re doing. You’ve got to be flexible out there. It depends on what’s open. Sometimes I don’t push the pace enough. Sometimes I push the pace too much,” he said. “I’ve learned those lessons throughout

PAGE 3 you have something that’s a little rusty, but when called upon you can use it,” Wright said. The humble senior has shared in a team title while basking in the spotlight of an individual championship and he’s helped win a team title while falling a step short. So, which would mean more to him, a second individual championship or a third team championship? “Definitely a team championship for Penn State. The team championship is the ultimate goal because we’re a team here. We’re doing this together,” he said. “But, in order to do that, I’ve got to get a second title. That’s how it works.”

the other 27 matches I’ve had this year, to really know what’s going to work in different situations when I get out there that first, second, third, fourth, fifth match at nationals.” Planning for a fifth match at nationals would mean another trip to the finals. And, if the seeds hold up, a trip to the finals would probably mean a showdown with Kilgore. Wright admitted he had been training for everyone in the field, but with an eye toward Kilgore. “Oh, yeah. You’ve always got to have a Plan B, C and D. You’ve always got to have something that you practice it, you can do it, but it’s not necessarily your go-to. Or

Robinson, from page 1 served as president of Realizing Rights: The Ethical Global Initiative, a multi-year effort focused on placing human rights at the forefront of globalization and in developing countries, according to a press release by event organizers.

HER STORY To a group of Penn State students, faculty and community members, Robinson shared the story and journey of her life’s work, and why global ethics is a cause close to her heart. Leadership, she said, can be perceived in a variety of ways: business, women’s rights and morality. Growing up with two older and two younger brothers, Robinson said she had an early interest in human rights. Robinson said her parents told her she had just as much opportunity as her brothers. However, while growing up, “the place of the woman was in the home.” All of her friends were getting married, but Robinson had other interests, she said. While debating entering a convent, she spent some time in Paris, and after some thought, she decided to study law. Robinson’s grandfather instilled in her that “law was a kind of instrument for social change,” she said. She determined then that she wanted to use law to make a change, Robinson said, so she entered Harvard University. “Young people were doing things,” she said. The students, she said, cared for equality and other issues, prompting her interest even more.

After graduating, Robinson returned to Ireland with new levels of determination and drive. “I felt that I was going to be doing something at the time as a young person,” she said. In 1969 an election was held within the Irish Parliament, Robinson said. There were six open seats in the Senate for Irish universities. Despite these positions traditionally being held by “older male professors,” Robinson was elected at age 25. Her mandate at that time, she said, was to “make some changes in Irish law.” Robinson drafted a short bill promoting family planning, she said, a topic that wasn’t well-received in Ireland at the time. “I had touched a kind of raw nerve on Ireland,” she said. Robinson received a lot of negative feedback about the bill, she said, and was nearly regarded as a “hate figure.” She and her husband burned the hate mail she received, which she later regretted, she said, because those letters were evidence of the times. That period marked a lesson for her in political leadership. “If you feel strongly about it, be true to yourself,” she said. But at the same time, “expect to pay a price.” Later, in 1990, Robinson was nominated for President of Ireland, she said. “I was surprised and not particularly excited,” she said, explaining that the position is not an “executive presidency” in Ireland. Robinson decided to accept the nomination, but only if she could run as an independent. During her campaign, she traveled around the country to “listen to people and find out what was happening,” she said. After getting elected, Robinson said in her inauguration speech that she “wanted Ireland to be an international symbol of human rights.” As the first woman president of her country, she wanted “to do it differently,” she said.

MARCH 21-27, 2013 “Everybody Matters: My Life Giving Voice” to bring together some of her experiences and to encourage people, she said. “How could I have known … where my life would bring me?” she said. Through her life’s work, Robinson has been able to share her core philosophies, she said, which is that everybody matters, and everybody can make a difference. “That’s what human rights is all about,” she said. In 2009 Robinson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama in recognition of her significant contributions to the nation and the world. She now chairs the Council of Women World Leaders and is president of the Mary Robinson Foundation — Climate Justice, a center for thought leadership, education and advocacy on the struggle for global justice, according to the event program. Robinson additionally has been named a “Hero and Icon” as one of Time magazine’s 2005 top 100 men and women “whose power, talent or moral example is transforming the world.” In 2006, Robinson received Spain’s Prince of Asturias Award in Social Sciences prize for her work as a global human rights campaigner, according to the program.

PENN STATE RESPONDS Will Begley, a student member of Penn State’s Presidential Leadership Academy, said he came to Robinson’s lecture to learn about her experiences all over the globe, and to hear her perspective about the world. “(She has) a great impact on global communication,” she said. Justin Cook, a student and chair of the Scholar Advancement Team within the Schreyer Honors College, said he first met Robinson at a SHC reception before the presentation, but attended her lecture to hear her speak longer and learn “how she progressed through her career.” Cook said what interested him most about Robinson’s lecture was how young people today can correct the climate situation in the future, as well as the impact of climate changes on developing nations and the use of fossil fuels. “That definitely hits home,” he said. Dr. Christian M.M. Brady, dean of the Schreyer Honors College, said Robinson has spent her life serving as a positive role model and a world leader. “A visit from such a global leader provides all members of the Penn State community — students, faculty, residents — an opportunity to hear firsthand from someone whose advocacy and leadership can challenge us to press for the resolution of problems that threaten the many regions of the world to the detriment of us all,” he said in the press release.

BOB ORNDORFF and Eli Keim play a game during last weekend's dance party, which was sponsored by the Centre County Down Syndrome Society. Dance, from page 1 to the community is really important to us. We want to be here for these kids, but we get a lot out of it, too.” While the players signed autographs and danced with the kids, a line snaked out of the kitchen. There were hamburgers, hot dogs, chips and soda. The sweets — cupcakes and cookies — were also popular items. Lauren Stamm kept the line moving in an orderly fashion as the children filled their plates. “This is a lot of fun. I like to come up with themes each year

and this year we did a picnic theme,” Stamm said. “Everybody donates … Weis and Giant donate gift cards so we can go shopping. The donations are so important.” As the children filed out with their plates full, Stamm couldn’t help but smile herself. “It’s just amazing. They’re all having a great time,” she said. “Seeing these kids smile … it’s just a great night.” John Brownson, president of the Centre County Down Syndrome Society, said he was excited to see such a big crowd at the dance. “This is spectacular for everybody in the community because

it’s all about raising awareness,” he said. “There are so many people out there that have no had any experience with those with special needs, whatever those needs may be.” And while the main goal was fun, Brownson said that it’s important to see the big picture. “March is Special Needs Awareness Month and Down Syndrome Awareness Month,” he said. “This is fantastic, but the interaction between everyone — those with special needs, those without special needs — it’s just an eclectic group of people coming together to celebrate one thing.”

model for the global manufacture of apparel. Even so, we are determined to do our share to redress shortcomings where we find them and encourage our licensees to behave responsibly and justly vis-a-vis the workers who produce their products in our name.” The suspension gives Adidas 60 days to compensate those who worked at the factory. In the interim, Adidas is forbidden to produce any items carrying the Penn State logo. If the suspension expires before the factory workers are compensated, Penn State will end its license with Adidas, according to a news release. If, however, Adidas compensates the Indonesian workers what they are owed, Penn State will lift the suspension and will continue its prior relationship with the company, according to Erickson’s letter. Penn State sociology major Shelby Mastovich has been member of United Students Against Sweatshops for several semesters. She said that Penn State possibly cutting ties with Adidas is a step in the right direction. “When I started learning what was going on around the world in terms of the apparel that we get from our university, it really disturbed me,” Mastovich said. “Once I learned more and more, I knew I had to do something about it. I think if everyone works together, we can create a sustainable system.” Penn State’s license with Adidas produced royalty revenues of $6,800 for the 2011-12 fiscal year, according to a release. According to student Lili Hadsell, Penn State is the

eighth school to take a stand against Adidas’ violations. “I’ve been working on this campaign since it started a year ago. It’s been a long year, but it’s really relieving to know that the administration has listened to us and done the right thing,” Hadsell said. “We are stakeholders in this university. The fact that we have a voice is gratifying. We only have four years here. To campaign for the workers’ rights was a really good way to use part of our time here.” During the suspension, Adidas can sell existing Penn State merchandise. However, the company has been asked to not create new Penn State products. According to Hadsell, a group from United Students Against Sweatshops was able to meet a factory worker. Putting a face to all of the information was extremely helpful, she said. “There was a worker tour in February and two workers from the factory came to Penn State and they spoke about their experiences and what it was like for them. It was really eye-opening for us to see the face behind the clothing. Brands put distance between the actual people who make the clothing and the people who buy the clothing,” Hadsell said. According to Mastovich, Penn State’s decision could change the way universities operate when it comes to licensing and collegiate apparel. “We need to put pressure on these companies,” Mastovich said. “We need to tell them that they need to treat workers fairly and with dignity in the workplace. A lot of this is about worker’s rights and human rights. In the end, though, it’s really about awareness.”

CVIM marathoners make strides for health effort By SAMI HULINGS shulings@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; More than 20 local runners lined up on the track of Penn State Multi-Sports for the 11th annual Marathoners for Medicine, an awareness event that helps to raise funding for Centre Volunteers in Medicine. Joined by honorary coaches Sue Paterno, Penn State womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball coach Russ Rose and former Penn State runner and track and field Olympian Greg Fredericks, the runners kicked off the start of the fundraising campaign on Thursday, March 14, for the local non-profit group, which offers free health and dental care to area residents without health insurance. When CVIM first opened its doors in 2003, John Domico, a State College resident, learned about the clinic and saw a way to help the community. He decided to lace up his running shoes and compete in the Boston Marathon as a way to raise money for the cause. After raising $1,000 in 2003, Domico was joined by seven other runners the following year. Together they raised $15,000. Last year, 34 individuals raised more than $50,000 for CVIM. In total, Marathoners for Medicine has raised more than $400,000 for the medical and dental clinic by running in marathons such as the Boston Marathon and the Pittsburgh Marathon. Domico said though the continued growth is great, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never enough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It always seems like no matter how much you can do for the clinic, there are so many more people out there who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being cared for because of their financial circumstances that we need to reach. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gratifying, but there is work to do. There

are people who are unfortunately on a waiting list. They are turned away from care because the clinic just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the capacity,â&#x20AC;? he said. Because of this, Domico hopes that events like Marathoners for Medicine help to recruit new runners, while getting the word out to community members. Fredericks was one such runner who Domico recruited years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He talked to us in the locker room because we were running together. He explained what the need was. I went out and saw the clinic and I saw there was a need there,â&#x20AC;? Fredericks said. Paterno agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went to see it and once you see it, you know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to do it,â&#x20AC;? she said. As he is also involved with the Out of the Cold: Centre County program, Fredericks sees many who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know there are Centre County residents in need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you tell people that, they go, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We have homeless people here?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Yes, we actually do.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And we are just taking care of the overflow,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same reaction with this. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We actually have people without medical and dental care?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Yes, we do. We have a lot of them. A lot of them tend to be children. There is definitely a need.â&#x20AC;? For Rose, this unawareness was exactly why he had to become involved with Marathoners for Medicine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every opportunity we have to help people in our own community is enough reason for me. So many people have needs that I think go unnoticed by others,â&#x20AC;? he said. Sue Forster, the marketing and events coordinator for CVIM, said without community members like Domico, Fredericks, Paterno and Rose, CVIM wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the

According to CVIMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, the clinic served 776 unique patients and had 1868 provider visits in 2011, thanks in part to the fundraising done by runners like Domico, Fredericks, George Lesieutre and Marty Klanchar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These guys coming together and doing what they are doing today, being out there and running to promote good health, it gives people an opportunity to go and promote good health,â&#x20AC;? she said. Lesieutre, a seventh-year CVIM runner, feels lucky to work for an employer who offers good health insurance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to imagine not having that kind of insurance or even not having any,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Lesieutre and 10-year Marathoners for Medicine runner Klanchar will run the Boston Marathon on April 15 to raise funding for the CVIM. Klanchar said after learning of Domicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running in 2003, he knew he had to help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Why not get together as a team because we all believe in the good work that they do for our community,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he said. Ten years later, he continues to compete for the cause. To join runners like Klanchar, visit http://www.cvim.net/marathoners2013.ht m.

Arming Syrian rebels demands caution By Scripps Howard News Service Despite its own skepticism and that of its military commanders, the Obama administration is under increasing pressure to arm and train the Syrian opposition — if we can be sure we’re arming the right people. The U.S. last month pledged to the opposition $60 million in nonlethal aid, mostly meals and medical supplies, which we have yet to send. This week, the Obama administration expressed support for Britain’s and France’s plans to arm Syrian rebel groups, and it said it wouldn’t stand in the way of other nations that wanted to do the same. But, militarily, the U.S. plan to stay on the sidelines with regard to providing weapons is in large part because American diplomats and the military aren’t sure who is who in the chaotic mix of groups making up the Syrian opposition. The U.S. is justifiably worried that weapons would wind up in the wrong hands. Gen. John Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, this week told a Washington military think tank, “About six months ago, we had a very — let’s call it opaque understanding of the opposition, and now I’d say it’s even more opaque.” He urged the administration to “proceed cautiously,” but Congress may not be that patient. GOP Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina have been demanding that we arm the rebels and provide air support. Dempsey raises a valid point when he says we should be absolutely sure who we are dealing with when we begin passing out weapons. The murderous regime of Bashar al-Assad has forfeited any claim to continue ruling the country, but we should be wary of substituting one violent anti-democratic regime with another. An estimated 70,000 Syrian dead and another 1 million made refugees is enough. We don’t want to be party to increasing that carnage.

Some boundaries need to be set It’s happened only twice in 20 years. As a university instructor and academic advisor, I have met with many students over the years and together we have responded to many, many issues. Graduation plans. Break ups with boyfriends. Internship selection. Parents divorcing. Academic dishonesty. Change of Patty Kleban, a major. Unwanted columnist for State pregnancies. College.com, lives Graduate school in Patton Townapplications.

Mental and opinions do health issues and not necessarily addiction. reflect those of the As I get older, I university. find myself more often in the role of “Mom” than I did when I first started teaching. While holding students to high standards, it is hard not to see in them the faces of my own children and feel empathy for those who are burdened, often by their own decisions. Their choices often make me excited for them and proud of their accomplishments. At other times, I have felt sadness and concern with decisions that have derailed their forward movement. Anger is an emotion that is personal and therefore rare in the student-teacher relationship. As teachers, we try to find the teachable moment with the student, saving the expression of our frustration for behind closed doors. In the professional setting, there is an accepted level of decorum when it comes to anger. We get angry when others do things that infringe on our rights or that create more work for us. Anger is, as they say, a healthy emotion but there are socially defined rules on how and where it is acceptable to express it. When we get angry in the workplace it is expected that we show some restraint. This past week, I was faced with a situation in which anger was the ap-

propriate — and much needed — response. It’s happened to me only once before. I was teaching a class several years ago and a student thought it would be funny to take the remote control for the projector and, from the back row, make the presentation go haywire. After I stopped the lecture, trying to fix what I thought was a technological malfunction, I figured out what was going on. Based on his giggling, I approached him and said “hand it over.” He pulled the remote out from where he had been hiding it under the table and then stormed out of the class. That student showed up in my office later that day and was very angry. He said that I treated him “like a 12-year-old.” My response was to fire back. Not only had his antics resulted in a $400 blown projector bulb, he had disrupted a class, wasted our time and interfered with the education of other students. I was furious and I let him know it. In that instance, I made a conscious decision to raise my voice and to express my anger. Sometimes, teaching people the limits of our tolerance is a valuable lesson. That student eventually came back around and is now a successful alumni with whom I remain in contact. The lessons that we learn in college can have little to do with curricula, theories or textbooks. I noted last week that a student who previously had been very rude to one of our staff members was on my appointment calendar. Understanding that people sometimes have bad days, I was glad to see that he had finally scheduled with me and hoped that together we would be able to address his concerns. Within minutes of sitting down, he began to complain about me not being available, about me not making exceptions on department policies and for not helping him. He was essentially blaming me for his missed deadlines, his misinformation and his decisions to not make use of the support system that is in place to help students be successful. When I asked if he had accessed the information on our website or had followed the instructions in the numerous emails that I sent regarding the exact questions he was asking, he angrily asked, “Why do you

always ask if I read the instructions when I ask you to help me?” Am I really hearing this? A fifthyear senior who is preparing for internship and graduation is asking me to hold his hand through a process for which he took a one-credit preparatory class and that we outline in a handbook, cover in “frequently asked questions” on a website and for which hundreds of other students each year are able to complete independently? Despite my availability for office hours, having access to me in class and my reminder emails, I’m to blame for the fact that he is likely not going to make the deadline for summer internship? My attempts to calmly clarify and explain the situation were met with interruptions, accusations and escalating volume. Finally, after declaring that he had no idea which remaining courses he needed to complete for the degree — information that is spelled out in an each student’s academic audit online and for which my colleague provided him in writing — I asked him to leave. Volume, finger-pointing and I’m done with this interaction. People in the offices around us could hear it. It reminds me of parenting. When they are young, we give our children directions once, twice and finally on the eighth time raise our voice. They ask, “Why are you yelling at me?” I’m yelling because I was respectful the first several attempts and you didn’t respond. I’m angry because you didn’t make use of the time, information or support that you have been provided. I’m angry that you are deflecting your frustration at me. I’m angry because you aren’t taking responsibility for your actions or your decisions. In 20 years of teaching, I am proud of having provided support for students in both their good times and in bad. I’ve tried to help my students be their best, sometimes when they are at their worst. That has meant compassion, caring, assistance with navigating the university bureaucracy and sometimes saying no. At times it has meant loud voices and emphatic delineation of boundaries. In the end, it always means important lessons about what is OK, accountability and how we treat each other in the workplace.

U.S. reaches out to foreign tourists By DALE McFEATTERS Scripps Howard News Service

After 9/11, every would-be foreign tourist to the United States was treated as a potential terrorist. If Americans found airport security onerous and intrusive, foreigners found it even more so, and just getting that far required an enormous amount of paperwork. And the foreign arrival halls in most major airports were hardly the most welcoming venues for visitors. Not surprisingly, the number of foreign visitors fell precipitately over the next three years. With a brief pause for the recession, the number of overseas visitors has increased steadily since 2004 to 27.9 million in 2011. (If you include our immediate neighbors, Canada and Mexico, the number is 62.7 million.) But where once the United States was a destination for 17 percent of international travel worldwide, our share of that travel dropped to 12 percent in 2005 and has remained stuck at that level ever since, according to the U.S. Travel Association. Particularly prized by the travel business are so-called “long haul” tourists. Apparently, the farther they come, the more they spend. U.S. Travel says that long-haul travelers globally are up 40 percent in the last 10 years; for the U.S., that figure is 1 percent. The travel trade group estimates that over the decade, the U.S. lost 460,000 travel-related jobs and $600 billion in tourist spending. And this is almost “found money,” since the U.S. has a huge tourist infrastructure already in place. Other countries have cut into our market share — The Washington Post cites particularly China and Turkey — and we have been less aggressive in courting foreign visitors. Mercifully for our reputation and our economy, that has begun to change. The Obama administration and the trav-

el industry have launched a joint $150 million “Discover America” campaign of TV commercials, ads and Facebook pages overseas to attract visitors. There are now 37 so-called “visa waiver” countries where all a potential visitor needs is a machine-readable passport and advance notice to a U.S. embassy or consulate. A process that could take months after 9/11 now has been shortened to a few weeks or less. Increasing foreign tourism in the United States is only common-sense economics.

Penns Valley elementary schools hold art shows By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — Three Penns Valley elementary schools held student art shows on the evenings of Feb. 25, 27, and March 5. Miles Township Elementary, Centre Hall Elementary, and Penns Valley Elementary and Intermediate schools each filled their hallways with student-made art for the shows. Media used included crayons, colored pencils, markers and some sculpture of clay and paper. The hallways were packed with spectators admiring the artwork. Sticky note pads and pens were provided for viewers to place comments on the artwork. Much of the art was part of a mural contest connected with the “Singing Tree” project, the school district’s cultural exchange program with a sister school district in Ghana, West Africa. Art teacher Stephanie Ripka said the district has been involved in the project for the past four years. She said this is the first year the school district has held the show, where students each submitted one piece of work to be shown. The first place winner in the mural contest was Nathan Warren, a sixth grade stu-

dent at Penns Valley Elementary and Intermediate School. Warren’s drawing pictured the nations of Ghana and the United States separated by water with trees growing on their respective banks. The tree limbs, adorned with the flags of the U.S. and Ghana, extended over the water, and met in the middle, symbolizing unity and friendship between citizens of the two nations. The drawing will become the backdrop for a Penns Valley Elementary mural, according to Ripka. The Penns Valley students have learned about an infectious disease in Ghana called the Beruli Ulcer. The disease is mostly found in places where there is stagnant water, such as swamps, ponds, slow moving rivers and mining pits. It is caused by a bacterium, but researchers are uncertain of its exact means of infecting humans. “They don’t know exactly how it spreads. They have found it in some insects, but they don’t know for sure that the insects are what cause it in humans,” said Annmarie Ward of the Penn State Center in the Schools. She said that researchers are looking at environmental factors such as food, rainfall and damage from mine areas for possible causes for the disease.

LHU earns honor for community service

BRICK BY BRICK

From Gazette staff reports LOCK HAVEN — Lock Haven University was named to the 2013 President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. This designation is the highest honor a college or university can receive for its commitment to volunteering, service-learning and civic engagement. “Lock Haven University has a long history of servicelearning and believes strongly in preparing our graduates to be active leaders and participants in an ever changing world,” said president Michael Fiorentino, Jr. “We’re honored to receive this prestigious award — and owe much of it to the students themselves. They’re the energy driving our commitment and they’re the ones who make it all happen.” Lock Haven University was chosen for this distinction due to its firm commitment to community service. Groups of students and faculty engage in numerous projects each year, such as assisting communities during the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. “Congratulations to Lock Haven University, its faculty and students for its commitment to service, both in and out of the classroom,” said Wendy Spencer, CEO of CNCS. “Through its work, institutions of higher education are helping improve their local communities and create a new generation of leaders by challenging students to go beyond the traditional college experience and solve local challenges.” Inspired by the thousands of college students who traveled across the country to support relief efforts along the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina, CNCS has administered the award since 2006 and manages the program in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, as well as the American Council on Education and Campus Compact. Lock Haven University is a member of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, the largest provider of higher education in the commonwealth. Its 14 universities offer more than 250 degree and certificate programs in more than 120 areas of study. Nearly 500,000 system alumni live and work in Pennsylvania.

Cub Scout pack hosts Blue and Gold Banquet By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — Cub Scout Pack 20 of Centre Hall held its annual Blue and Gold Banquet on March 16 in the social hall of Grace United Methodist Church in Centre Hall. About 60 Scouts, leaders, parents and grandparents gathered and enjoyed a meal featuring food from Brother’s Pizza and Bella Sicilia restaurants in Centre Hall. A Cub Scout-themed cake was served for dessert. After the meal, guest speaker Valerie Updegrove, an executive of the Boy Scouts of America Nittany District, was introduced. She spoke about the Friends of Scouting program, which raises funds to support scouting in central Pennsylvania. Following her speech, the pack’s annual cake auction was held to raise money for the pack’s activities. There were just three cakes for auction this year and the bids were high. A scouting themed cake made by Cub Scout Derek Vones fetched a $25 winning bid from his grandfather Robert Ciesielski, who also took home a second Scouting themed cake for a whopping $69. An awards ceremony followed the auction. Webelos leader Jeff Hyde awarded the Arrow of Light award to Brennan Hyde and John Dunkelberger. The Arrow of Light Award is the highest award given to Cub Scouts, and represents a rite of passage into

the Boy Scouting program. The Arrow of Light pin is the only Cub Scouting award that is permitted to be worn on a Boy Scout’s uniform and on adult scout leader uniforms. The Arrow of Light emblem features the outline of the rising sun with seven rays, which represent the seven days of the week and remind the scout to do his best every day, according to Hyde. Across the solar outline lies an arrow. Each graduating boy received a large arrow as a symbol of his accomplishment. A crossover ceremony was held for John Dunkelberger, who has completed the Cub Scout requirements and is graduating to Boy Scouts. Dunkelberger walked across a wooden ceremonial bridge, and was welcomed by scoutmaster Jeff Breon and members of Boy Scout Troop 20 of Centre Hall. His neckerchief was replaced with a Boy Scout neckerchief by members of Troop 20. The crossover ceremony is a significant rite of passage, and represents a milestone marking the Scouts’ achievement of skills and leadership abilities. A similar crossover ceremony was held at their Blue and Gold Banquet on March 2 by Cub Scout Pack 88 in Millheim. Six Cub Scouts crossed over from cub scouting into boy scouting. Carter Neese, Caleb Packers, Nate Dawson, A.J. Dorman, Jonis Haines and Ben Hawkins were welcomed into Millheim Boy Scout Troop 88 following the meal.

McQuaide Blasko sponsors conservancy internship From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — The State College office of McQuaide Blasko has funded ClearWater Conservancy’s Geographic Information Systems Internship for the third straight year. “This donation provides many hours of skilled GIS mapping support for our land and water conservation projects and gives a student important, real-world experience at the

same time,” said ClearWater conservation biologist Katie Ombalski. Through the McQuaide Blasko internship, a geography student works at ClearWater an average of 15 hours per week on mapping projects related to land conservation and riparian restoration projects. “Mapping is fundamental to every project we do. From preparing project proposals for landowners to documenting our conserved properties,

GIS mapping is critical. The internship provides advanced GIS knowhow and relieves the ClearWater staff of many hours at the GIS computer,” Ombalski said. Management of the internship program is provided by Dr. Joe Bishop, a member of ClearWater Conservancy’s Board of Directors, and a research associate and geospatial coordinator for the Penn State Riparia Center in the Department of Geography.

The bracket racket By JIM LITKE Welcome to Bracket Racket, the one-stop shopping place for all your NCAA tournament needs. If you have any unfinished business related to the tournament, you might want to get started on it now. Jim Litke is a sports columnist for the Associated Press.

began. But it feels like they’re already over. On Monday, we reported the odds of someone filling out a perfect bracket were one in 9.2 quintillion. Tuesday night, Nate Silver of the spectacularly smart FiveThirtyEight blog weighed in, here: http:// nyti.ms/10ae4qV. Silver, you’ll recall, did more than just “make statistics sexy again,” as the Hollywood Reporter put it. He absolutely nailed the last two presidential elections — getting all 50 states right in November — and just about every Senate race. He was almost that good in 2008.

Just like the guys in Vegas — and the NCAA selection committee, for that matter — Silver made Louisville the No. 1 seed overall. Yet like everybody else, he’s not convinced the Cardinals will even make it to the Final Four. Silver put Louisville’s chance of winning at 22.7 percent, followed closely by Indiana (19.6) Florida (12.7) Kansas (7.5) and Gonzaga (6.1).

Vegas has Louisville at 9-2, followed by Indiana at 7-1, and then Duke, Florida and Miami at 8-1. The Cardinals were an even bigger favorite — opening in the sportsbooks at 3-1 — until they were banished to the Midwest regional, or what soccer aficionados like to call the “Group of Death.” Also in there is Duke, Michigan State and a few other sneaky-good teams — Saint Louis, Oklahoma State and Oregon — just bristling at the chance to make a bigger name for themselves. In past years, the selection committee would have bent over backward to keep its

SPREAD No. 1 overall seed, Louisville, away from its No. 2 overall, Duke. But because of a wave of conference expansion and realignment, just keeping regular-season opponents from running into one another in firstround games has become a headache. So the committee members tried to spread the suffering around. Or maybe a few members came across this Louisville postgame celebration — starring former President Bill Clinton, here: http://deadsp.in/YljoHs — and decided the Cardinals have had enough fun already.

SPEAKING OF POLITICIANS AND FUN! No, seriously. Imagine what the halls of Congress would look like if members were required to fly their school colors during the tournament! OK, forget that. Most of them would just get jerseys

MARCH 21-27, 2013 made up like the ones parents wear when their kids’ teams play each other — half one color, half the other, like a harlequin’s suit with numbers. But even pols have loyalties, and alma maters. Unfortunately, they also have constituents of varying stripes back home, too. And judging by the reaction every time one or another is asked for his rooting favorite, you’d think they were facing “Sophie’s Choice.” Yet intrepid Associated Press congressional reporter Donna Cassata decided to ask that loaded question, anyway. “March Madness is always an exciting time in the Bluegrass State and I want to congratulate the Louisville Cardinals on their No. 1 overall seed and the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers for making the NCAA tourney,” Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said. “While I am disappointed that the Kentucky Wildcats won’t get the chance to de-

Tips to help improve your living space By BRITTANY SVOBODA correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

With spring approaching, many will take on the annual task of spring cleaning. You’ll donate or throw away old clothes and books and organize the sports equipment and garden tools in the garage, among other tedious activities that you probably don’t really want to do. Something many want to do, however, is redecorate and improve living space. One of the most used rooms in a typical household is

the living room, which is usually the first to be picked for a makeover. This room is used for both entertaining guests and relaxing with the family. To maximize living space usage, consider the following these ten tips: 1. De-clutter: In a space where guests hang out, clutter levels needs to be at a minimum. Go into your living room and look for things you could get rid of or whose purpose would make more sense in another room. Also consider adding cloth or decorative storage bins to house objects like blankets and

3. Furniture placement: Where you put your couch can affect the feel of your living space. To allow for an easy flow in and out of the room, try not to position your furniture in near the door or entry way. This breaks up the room and makes the space less appealing to enter. 4. Lighting: If you usually entertain in your living room, make sure all parts of the room can be adequately lit. This can be done with track lighting on the ceiling or light fixtures hanging on walls around the room. If you prefer dimmer, spot lighting, consider placing smaller lamps on end tables.

Lions hoping for third championship By ERIC KNOPSNYDER Special to The Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — Talk about your made-for-TV drama. The potential matchup at 165 pounds in the NCAA Wrestling Championships is so great that the NCAA and ESPN have decided to switch it to the last bout of the evening. If everything goes as expected it will feature Cornell’s Kyle Dake, who’s eyeing his fourth national championship, against defending champ David Taylor of Penn State. Dake has won championships at 141, 149 and 157 pounds. He could become the first wrestler to win NCAA titles at four different weight classes, and his potential matchup with Taylor — a junior who has been in the finals twice already — is one of the most anticipated in the sport’s history. The NCAA alluded to Dake’s quest in a story announcing the change in format but didn’t actually name him. Dave Martin, chair of the NCAA Division I Wrestling Committee, said in a statement that decision was made in an effort to retain viewers. “The committee actively seeks ways to continue evolving the championship and keep fans engaged for the complete threehour window of the finals,” he said. “After discussions with our broadcast partner on how best to elevate an already great championship, we agreed a change to the format was exactly what our event needed.” Penn State coach Cael Sanderson was asked on Monday if the decision — which appears to make the assumption that Dake and Taylor will meet in the finals — was disrespecting the other 165-pounders in the tournament. “That’s life,” he said. “You deal with it. Obviously those guys (Dake and Taylor) have earned that. Nothing’s given in this sport. You earn what you have. It’s a great opportunity for all of them. I don’t think it makes anything easier for the 165pounders. It makes it more of a challenge, which is, I think, exciting.” Oh, and by the way, Taylor’s match against Dake could decide if the Nittany Lions win a third consecutive team title. But Sanderson isn’t looking at it as a third title, just this year’s. “We’ve got a task at hand,” he said. “Last year’s team was a dif-

ferent team. We want to win nationals this year. We want to be at our best this year. We want our guys to be happy and reach their goals this year. Everything in the past is great, but we celebrated that already. It’s time to do something else.” Sanderson, of course, would love to have the title wrapped up by the point the 165-pounders step on the mat Saturday night. And with wrestlers in each of the weight classes — and eight of those seeded in the top eight — the Nittany Lions are the favorites again. At least they will be favored by the experts. For thousands of fans in attendance at the Wells Fargo Center in Des Moines, Iowa, the University of Iowa will be the sentimental pick. Oklahoma State and Minnesota also could be in the running. But Penn State, which has three national champions in its lineup, should be very difficult to beat. Ed Ruth, who won the NCAA title at 174 pounds last season, is the top seed at 184 this year and brings a 28-0 record into the tournament. Taylor (26-1) is another defending champion. And with a 96-2 record, he is almost unstoppable. Of course, one of those losses — as well as another in the NWCA All-Star meet that doesn’t count on his career mark — came to Dake this season. Taylor would almost certainly be the favorite to win the weight class again if Dake had not moved up to 165. Like Taylor, Quentin Wright has been in the NCAA finals each of the past two seasons. He is 270 and the second seed at 197 pounds. The Bald Eagle Area graduate captured the 184-pound title as a sophomore but finished second last season. “I think that winning the first one is probably the easiest, and it takes a lot of strength and character to come back and win two,” Sanderson said. “(Taylor and Ruth are) looking for their second championship, and same thing with Quentin. It’s a great challenge, and I’m always excited to see how these guys will respond to difficult circumstances. That’s what I enjoy as a coach, to sit back and see what they choose to do in situations like this. They’re competitors, so I’m not too worried about them, just here to help them.”

PENN STATE coach Cael Sanderson is trying to lead the Nittany Lions to their third consecutive NCAA championship. Nico Megaludis was a runnerup at 125 pounds as a freshman, but he’ll face a tough road to get back the championship match, as he’s the fourth seed this season with a 24-3 record. Sanderson doesn’t expect Megaludis to be overwhelmed by the task. “He believes in himself as much as anyone I’ve ever coached,” Sanderson said. “That’s probably the most important thing. Now it’s just get out of his way and let him go.” Sophomore Matt Brown will be making his first trip to the NCAA tournament as the No. 2 seed at 174. Brown, who is 25-4 this season, could be in the first final of the night on Saturday. Sanderson said that shouldn’t be an issue. “These guys have to be ready to wrestle,” he said. “Throughout the season, a coach can say we want to draw, and if they are the first matchup, that’s part of the game now.” Being ready shouldn’t be a problem for twins Andrew and

Dylan Alton. Andrew (26-4) is the 11th seed at 149 while Dylan (256) is the eighth seed at 157. Dylan Alton placed third at 157 last season while Andrew Alton was one victory shy of earning All-American honors at 141 two years ago. Both will be looking to build on their NCAA tournament experience. “Dylan had a great year and, I think Andrew, we saw some great things out of him,” Sanderson said. “He didn’t get quite right where he wanted to be but we saw some of his best wrestling that we’ve seen all year. He needs to keep building on that. He’s a bad draw. He’s not seeded very high, but Andrew Alton is very dangerous and as good as anyone in the tournament. He’s just got to stay solid and do what he does.” Jordan Conaway (16-8) will be making his first trip to the NCAA tournament. The redshirt freshman is the No. 12 seed at 133 pounds. The Nittany Lions have two

unseeded wrestlers in 141pounder Bryan Pearsall (23-9) and 285-pounder Jimmy Lawson (22-7) who will be looking to pull off some upsets and pick up key points for Penn State in the team race. Sanderson expects his firsttime NCAA qualifiers to make an impact. “Well, we have some great veterans obviously and guys with a lot of experience and confidence, and great poise, and that rubs off on the guys that haven’t been there, and these guys have wrestled in big matches,” he said. “It’s a lot tougher to wrestle in Rec Hall than it is to wrestle at the national championships, so our guys are prepared to go, it’s just a matter of what they choose to do now. Our job as coaches is to make sure they have everything they need, and that they’re ready to go, and that they have a choice. They have to choose to go out there and make it happen, or not, and I think our guys are ready, and in that position, so it’s up to them.”

Little Lions lose in battle for Penguins Cup By JOE SAGER Special to The Gazette

CORAOPOLIS — Peters Township and State College had two of the PIHL Class AAA’s best offenses during the regular season. The teams combined for 242 goals. In addition, the squads featured two of Class AAA’s top scorers in State College’s Stefan Horgas (77 points) and Peters Township’s Trevor Recktenwald (67). All told, the schools boasted five of the classification’s top point producers — the Little Lions’ Dalton Brown (54) and the Indians’ Adam Alavi (51) and Alex DeBolt (50) were the others. However, it was no surprise Wednesday night’s Penguins Cup Class AAA semifinal turned into a defensive battle. Both teams have two of the top goaltenders, too, in Peters Township’s Brian Baker and State College’s Zach Woytowich.

Baker won the battle as he shut out the Little Lions, 3-0, at the Robert Morris University Island Sports Center. “It’s awesome. It’s a good feeling,” he said. “I haven’t had one of those before; I usually get nervous in playoffs. But, for once, I am a little relaxed.” Peters Township (19-4), riding a 15-game winning streak, advanced to the Penguins Cup championship against North Allegheny. It’s the Indians’ third-straight title game appearance. They played for the Class AA crown two years ago and fell to Bethel Park in last year’s Class AAA contest. “Being there twice, I’ve never been more excited to get back there and hopefully get the W this time,” Baker said. “I love playing there. It’s the best feeling ever skating out there.” Baker and Peters Township

didn’t have much of a cushion for a majority of the game, though. Both teams battled through a scoreless first before Keenan Witmer scored 2:35 into the second. The offensive fireworks never materialized as the game stayed that way until late in the third period. “That’s playoff hockey; that’s just how it is when you get into the playoffs,” Peters Township coach Rick Tingle said. “Games are tighter and we’ve talked and talked and talked about that — how we have to play defense first.” DeBolt cashed in with 3:06 remaining in the third to give the Indians a key insurance goal. Recktenwald added an emptynet tally with 46 seconds to play. “I am proud of our guys. We came in playing the top-ranked team and we didn’t shy away

from anything. We were right with them step for step,” State College coach Brett Wilson said. “We made some mental mistakes and didn’t get a bounce here or there, but I was very proud of the way we stepped up tonight. “We are definitely a streaky team. When one goes in, we get a bunch. They play a good defensive system. They had guys back and it was tough for us to get odd-man rushes and it was tough to get rebounds, too, because they box out really well. We got our chances; if one of those bounces goes in, you never know what happens.” Woytowich had 22 saves for the Little Lions (16-8), while Baker stopped all 15 shots he faced. “Zach was under control; he was on his angles well and didn’t have a lot of flashy saves,” Wilson said. “The same thing goes for their goalie. He played very well,

too. They kept us to the outside and when we got in, he made the saves.” The Indians were impressed with Woytowich’s work between the pipes as well as team’s overall effort. “Their goaltender played terrific,” Tingle said. “That team came to play. They really played hard and did a nice job.” State College graduates seven seniors from this year’s squad — Craig Saupe, Adam Warfield, Andrew Ebert, McKinley Ross, Brown, Horgas and Woytowich. “That class did it right, whether it was in the rink at practice or in the classroom. That’s a great group of kids,” Wilson said. “I told the younger kids that that class did it right and if they wanted someone to look up to, it’s that class. We have some big shoes to fill. I hope some of my guys grow six inches over the offseason.”

It was a memorable season on the hardwood It may not look like it outside right now, but another high school basketball season went into the books last week when the final two area teams still playing, State College and Bald Eagle Area, bowed out of the PIAA tournament. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on to spring sports now, but this basketball season certainly deserves a look back at some of the games, teams and people that made it so interesting and entertaining. There were some terrific matchups and riveting games all over the county, and a few of them come to mind as being particularly worth mentioning: Pat Rothdeutsch

WILD WILD NIGHTS

Jan. 18 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; BEA boys 51, Bellefonte 46 It all started with Evan Wianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 65-foot shot at the buzzer before halftime. After it slammed in off the backboard, the trail official, who was standing just behind Wian, immediately called it no good, and the teams began to file into the locker room with BEA ahead 26-21. Not so fast â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the officials started talking at half court and after a minute or so, came to the table and changed the call. The goal was good, and the score was now 26-24. This game was intense enough without that bit of extra excitement, and with everybody in the gym now hyped up, the second half turned wild. There were technical fouls, ejections â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including a person who was escorted out of the gym â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hard fouls, lead changes, and the underdog Raiders trying desperately to upset the undefeated Eagles. It took three baskets by BEAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6-foot-7 center Dennis Fisher down the stretch to finally pull it out for the Eagles, but 2-7 Bellefonte didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave anything on the

floor, and the fans certainly got their moneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a great game plan,â&#x20AC;? Bellefonte coach Darin Hazel said afterwards, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and the kids executed it as best they could. I thought we had the recipe for success tonight. I thought we had a chance to pull the upset.â&#x20AC;?

COMEBACK KIDS Dec. 28 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; State College girls 54, Upper Darby 51 Down by 16 points in the fourth quarter in the championship game of the Kiwanis Holiday Classic, the Lady Little Lions had to do something â&#x20AC;&#x201D; either amp up their offense or clamp down on Upper Darby with their defense. Turns out, they did both. Taylor Allison led the incredible comeback from a 48-32 deficit for the Little Lions who scored 22 points in the final quarter to take the championship. At the same time, they held Upper Darbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tara Polite, who had 20 points in the first half, scoreless in the second half and the entire Royalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; team to just three fourth-quarter points. Allison put the final touches on the victory with two free throws in the final seconds. At the time, the win lifted the Lady Little Lions to an 8-1 record that also included a victory over Central Dauphin on a last nano-second basket by freshman center Kyla Irwin and propelled them into another successful season.

MILESTONES Feb. 11 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Penns Valley boys 47, Bellefonte 23 This game was not particularly close, but it was significant for another reason. It was the Ramsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 11th win of the season, which assured Penns Valley of a winning season no matter what happened the rest of the way. That winning season would be the Ramsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 17th in a row, dating back to 1996. The streak stretched through three coaches â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Nate Althouse, Darin Hazel, and pres-

The Bellefonte win was typical of Penns Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s style â&#x20AC;&#x201D; patient team offense and solid defense as the Rams pulled away for the win. PV finished 12-8 for the season after losing to Ligonier Valley in the AA playoffs, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect the streak to end anytime soon. The Rams had no seniors, and everyone will return next season.

RIPLEYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Feb. 12 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Clearfield 56, PhilipsburgOsceola 53 When these two rivals get together, anything can happen and usually does. Take for example Clearfield 56-53 win at Philipsburg on Feb. 12. In a game that was close all the way, POâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Matt Carpin gave the Mounties a threepoint lead with just under a minute to play, and P-O was perhaps a stop away from a big win and a sweep of Clearfield for the season. Clearfield then quickly brought the ball down, and guard Christian Lezzer wasted no time in taking it to the basket. His shot missed, but he was fouled and would shoot two free throws. As his shot bounced off the rim, and after the whistle blew, Carpin and a Clearfield player got tangled up, fell to the floor, and bounced right back up and faced each other. The referees separated them, and called a double foul and also ejected both players. Lezzer made both shots, and P-O lined up to take possession still clinging to a one-point lead. Wrong. Because of the double foul, the rule is that possession is determined by the arrow, and Clearfield was awarded the ball out of bounds at half court. The ball was inbounded to Lezzer who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move very far before he fired up a line-drive shot that would have been a long three even in the NBA. The ball hit the back of the rim and slammed straight down through the basket. The net hardly even moved.

Now ahead by two, Clearfield forced a miss by P-O and added a free throw to its final total. A last-second attempt by P-Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eric Nartatez to tie was close, but not good, and Clearfield escaped with the win.

PLAYOFFS In all, six local teams made it to the District 6 playoffs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the State College boys and girls, the BEA boys and girls, Penns Valley boys, and the Philipsburg girls. The P-O girls are notable because they began with a miserable 1-7 record and then pulled themselves together in the second half of the season and qualified for the post season. Of those teams, the State College boys went on the win the District championship and enter the PIAA state tournament as the District 6, AAAA No. 1 seed, and the BEA boys went into the AA tournament as the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 4 seed. BEA ran into District 7â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beaver Falls, which is still playing and one of the best teams in the state, and hung in for most of the first half but ultimately fell 92-48. State College ended up with a rematch against North Allegheny, the No. 4 seed from District 7, and lost, 84-76, in a close, up-and-down game played at Altoona High School.

WE NOTICED! Probably going to miss somebody, but nonetheless here are some players who come to mind from our local teams.

O’Brien talks about his second season at banquet By SAMI HULINGS shulings@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — At a news conference held in conjunction with the Central Pennsylvania Chapter of the National Football and College Football Hall of Fame’s 16th annual Awards Banquet, head football coaches Matt Rhule of Temple and Bill O’Brien of Penn State discussed their hopes for the upcoming 2013 football season. As a first year head coach in a newly aligned division, State College native Rhule’s focus is on building a solid football team. “Our focus is really putting together a great football team. When you put together a great football team, good things happen to you,” he said. To do this, Rhule will combine coaching techniques from his father, Joe Paterno and Al Golden, while making a name for himself. “My hope moving forward is that I take a little bit from everybody. I hope that it will enable me to be successful,” he said. And though he understands that playing football in the city of Philadelphia may not be for every Pennsylvania high school player, he won’t assume it isn’t, as Temple has a lot to offer. “We try to show who and what we are. We are 38,000 students. We have 281,000 alumni worldwide. We’re in the fourth largest media market. We are in the city of Philadelphia,” he said. “We have a track record of taking kids who are two-star recruits and putting them in the NFL.” Rhule is most looking forward to getting on the field, playing some football and providing opportunities for the young men in Pennsylvania. As a four-year walk-on at Penn State, he believes each player deserves the opportunity to prove himself on the field. “For me, I just needed an opportunity and people that believed in me,” he said. “Whether you come to school as a walk-on or you come to school as the number one recruit in the country, it’s important that the young people in Pennsylvania, they have an opportunity to go somewhere and play college ball.” Like Rhule, O’Brien believes in providing opportunities to high school football players across the state. He plans to do so by continuing to develop increased relationships with high school coaches. “We feel very, very strong moving forward that that is going to be the lifeline of our program, especially in Pennsylvania,” he said. “One thing that’s been apparent to me over the last year is that a lot of these kids that are fantastic students, tough guys that love to play football, they grew up dreaming about playing football at Penn State.” O’Brien attributes this dream to the understanding Pennsylvania high school coaches have for the quality education and athletic programs offered by Penn State. After working with high school coaches and players to secure his first full recruiting class, O’Brien is looking for-

They’re hungry. They’re very bright guys. I really enjoy being around them. It’s really fun to coach these guys and see how they learn and how they communicate. It’s going to be a neat group of guys to work with,” he said. O’Brien has not yet named a starting quarterback and had no plans to until training camp. Practices will include a good balance between Steven Bench and Tyler Ferguson, with evaluations at the end of spring. O’Brien was also impressed with the skill and intelligence of top recruiting prospect Christian Hackenberg. “To me, you rate intelligence, not only as a student in the classroom, but his intelligence on the field,” he said. Upon completion of the press conference, Rhule and O’Brien spoke to the 44 Central Pennsylvania student-athletes who were honored for their athletic, academic and community service achievement at the banquet. Among those recognized included Bald Eagle Area’s Cole Long, Bellefonte’s Jordan Fye, Penns Valley’s David Leedy,

Return Engagement Lady Lions handed a No. 3 seed in tournament play By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — For the Penn State women’s basketball team, Monday night’s NCAA tournament selection show must have seemed like a rerun of last year’s show. The No. 8 Lady Lions (25-5) are headed again to Baton Rouge, La. as the No. 3 seed in the Spokane Regional. They will take on No. 14 CalPoly (21-10) in the opening round on Sunday, with the winner taking on the winner of the No. 6 LSU (2011), No. 11 Wisconsin-Green Bay (29-2) game in the second round. Last year, in almost an identical situation as Big Ten regular-season champions who were upset in the Big Ten Tournament, the Lady Lions traveled to Louisiana and took on and won against UTEP in the first round and then beat LSU, 80-70, in the second round, eventually advancing to the Elite Eight. Many people thought that this season, with Penn State’s strong resume, the Lady Lions would have a shot at a No. 2 seed so being a No. 3 and going back to Baton Rouge was a bit of a surprise. None of that, however, bothered Penn State coach Coquese Washington. “It never gets old,” she said. “I get goose bumps just to be part of such an amazing tournament. The NCAA tournament is the climax to the year and we are just excited to compete and be a part of this tournament.” Cal-Poly is headed to its first NCAA tournament after winning the Big West tournament with a 63-

49 victory over Pacific. The Mustangs are led by 6-foot-5 junior center Molly Schlemer, who was chosen as the Big West tournament MVP, and sophomore guard Ariana Elegado, who was also an all-tournament pick. The Mustangs have won eight of their last nine games, and their 21 wins is a school Division 1 record. Asked about preparing for CalPoly, Washington seemed more concerned about preparing her own team than anything else. “We’ll take tonight and tomorrow and really dig into the film,” she said, “but really, at this time of year, it’s not so much about the opponent. It’s about your ability to execute your game plan. “We are not going to change who we are. We are who we are. So in a lot of respects, it’s sharpening and honing your skills. So we will spend the majority of the time on us and making sure we are able to dictate how the game is played.” For the tournament as a whole, the No. 1 seeds are Baylor (32-1) in the Oklahoma Region, Notre Dame (31-1) in the Norfolk Region, Stanford (31-2) in the Spokane Region, and Connecticut in the Bridgeport Region. The No. 2 seeds were Tennessee (24-7), Duke (30-2), Cal (283), and Kentucky (27-5). There were also five other teams selected from the Big Ten — Purdue, Michigan, Iowa, Nebraska and Michigan State. Lurking on the other side of Penn State’s bracket, if it should survive in Baton Rouge, is Cal and then farther down the road still would be Stanford.

Condo wins Raiders’ Commitment to Excellence Award By JOHN DIXON sports@centrecountygazette.com

PHILIPSBURG — When former Philipsburg-Osceola All-State football player Jon Condo went to the University of Maryland on a football scholarship in 2000, little did he know the strange path he would take that has culminated with a stellar career on the West Coast. He has been awarded with a seven-figure contract for being the long snapper on punts and field goals. He also has been selected to two NFL Pro Bowls. Not a bad way to make a living. Condo, also a PIAA state wrestling champion and an All-State baseball player as a catcher, was voted by his Oakland Raiders’ teammates at the end of the season to receive the 2012 Commitment to Excellence Award. Recipients of the award are selected based on their hard work, leadership and excellence on and off the field throughout the season. Condo was recently honored as part of the 11th annual Commitment to Excellence Award Presentation Dinner at the Oakland Airport Hilton. The award, formerly known as the Gorman Award, is voted on by the players each year and has been awarded to Raiders Legends such as Marcus Allen, Tim Brown, Fred Biletnikoff and Jim Otto. Often, the award lands in the hands of players in high-profile positions like wide receiver, running back and defensive back. This year, however, the team recognized the long snapper, an unsung position on the field. Otto, the Raiders center for 15 seasons, had a unique appreciation for Condo earning the award, as he also was the long snapper during his time with the Silver and Black. “The center who played the offense all the time, also snapped the ball for every long snap,” Otto said. “For over 15 years, I snapped every ball the Raiders ever snapped — the long snaps, short snaps, the quarterback snaps. That was my job.” The Hall of Fame center has consistently been impressed with Condo’s play and teamwork. “First of all, his long snapping is impeccable. You have to have accuracy along with the speed as well, and Jon does it all,” Otto said. “He’s valuable to the team, whether he’s a snapper, no matter what position he is, because you see him on the sideline, he’s hustling back and forth, he’s talking to his teammates, he’s cheering them on. He’s always been, as far as I can remember, as long as he’s been a Raider, a very excitable player, and that helps the team.” Condo was honored to have Otto’s respect. “With Jim being here it definitely means a lot,” Condo said. “I remember the first time I met him, he told me, ‘I used to snap too.’ He’s one of the greatest of all time; he’s definitely a legend. He’s what being a Raider is all about and I look up to those guys, just seeing how they used to play and the dedication that they had.” But none of that would have occurred if not for Condo’s college football coach, Ralph Friedgen. Friedgen knew if Condo wanted to play in the NFL he was probably too small, (list-

ed conservatively at 6 feet 1 inch, 220 pounds). He advised the former Mountie standout that if he wanted to play in the National Football League he would have to think of other ways to make the transition. So Condo added long snapper on his résumé to go with his linebacking duties. Condo’s final season at Maryland saw that he was a stronghold on the Terps’ long-snapping duties while serving as a backup at defensive end. Condo was nearly perfect at long snapper since winning a wide-open race for the job in 2001. Maryland did not have a punt blocked in Condo’s three years in the position and atop the depth chart at long snapper for 38 straight games. Following his senior season, Condo earned the team award as the 2003 Top Special Teams Performer and is the first pure long snapper to earn the honor in Maryland football history. Condo, now playing at 6 feet 3 inches, 245 pounds, was shocked and grateful to be chosen by his teammates to receive the award. “It’s an unbelievable honor, especially to be voted by my teammates,” Condo said. “I’m extremely surprised, but I’m tremendously honored and humbled that my teammates would select me. It really means a lot. It’s right up there with the Pro Bowl selections (2009 and 2012). It’s probably more meaningful than that just because it’s my teammates voting on it.” The seven-year NFL veteran joins Raiders Legends and Hall of Famers who have received the CTE award in the past. “If you look down the list, besides Jim Otto, you have the other guys that made it with Nnamdi (Asomugha), Charles Woodson, Tim Brown, Jerry Rice, all those guys,” Condo explained. “Just to be in the same breath of air as them, Marcus Allen, there’s so many coming to my head right now, but it puts everything in perspective, like, ‘Wow, I’m here.’ I don’t know, it’s hard to just talk about it, just because I’m not a position player like them, but here my teammates vote on this and to have the respect of all my teammates, it’s very exciting and very humbling and just feels great.” Condo has attended the CTE dinner in the past to support his teammates who received the award. This year, however, Condo was the honoree and his favorite part of the dinner, like many Raiders events, is the time he had to interact with Raider Nation. “My favorite part was just to see all the fans that came out,” Condo explained. “I try to go to the booster club meetings and all that stuff just to mingle with the fans. It’s always great to give back and shake hands and talk with the people who buy the tickets, your loyal fans that come to the games that have been with us the past seven years that I’ve been with the Raiders. Just to give back and talk with them, that’s what I really enjoy the most out of the event.” The Commitment to Excellence Award Dinner, hosted by the Steering Committee for the Booster Clubs of the Oakland Raiders, gives back to the charity of the award winner’s choice. Condo hopes fans will continue to support his chosen charity — Garth Brooks’ Teammates for Kids Foundation. The foundation focuses on

helping children in the areas of health, education and inner-city outreach. “For every dollar they get, Garth Brooks puts back $3, so they triple the money we donate,” Condo said of the charity. “So it’s definitely going for a great cause.” Besides the charitable element, fans had the opportunity to enjoy dinner, a silent and live auction, and meet Condo. “It was a great time with my fellow teammates, and we were able to come together and hopefully start off this 2013 season on a positive note and get things rolling.” Condo’s parents, Dick and Vicki Condo, of Philipsburg, made the trek West to be with Jon for the award presentation. Jon’s father also was a standout athlete in football, baseball and wrestling at P-O, where he placed second at the PIAA Tournament in 1964. He is currently an assistant coach for P-O wrestling. “It is surprising to see a long snapper get such an award, but if you know how Jon works and his attitude toward football and work ethic and so forth, it’s not surprising in that sense,” Dick Condo said. “He has been a hard worker and an overachiever in a lot of minds of people for his whole life. In that sense, it’s not surprising.” Vicki and Dick are incredibly proud of their son. “It’s overwhelming; you think, ‘Aww, that’s my baby,’ said mom Vicki. “He’s so humble and I think the whole family, we are in that sense, but we’re very proud of him, super proud.”

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT ‘The Landowner’s Gift’ true composer’s bounty By HARRY ZIMBLER For The Gazette

“I think an important part of ministry is to bring people together,” said composer/director Laurel Sanders. “And that is my real reason for doing this project. It’s free and a gift to the community.” The “gift” is the musical drama “The Landowner’s Gift,” composed and staged by Sanders. The musical play will be performed at 7 p.m. on March 27 in the Sanctuary of Grace Lutheran Church, at the corner of Beaver Avenue and South Garner Street. Sanders is the worship and music coordinator and youth choir director at Grace Lutheran Church. “The Landowner’s Gift” weaves together the Old Testament Story of Noah planting the

THE CHOIR rehearses for “The Landowner's Gift,” a play written entirely by Laurel Sanders. Choristers represent laborers in the vineyard.

first vineyard and the New Testament Parable of the workers in the vineyard. “Much like a classical Greek drama, several storytellers and a commentator look upon and describe the action as it unfolds,” Sanders stated. “I have always thought that music must communicate the same message as the lyrics of a dramatic song. I arrange music so that everyone can shine and make a musical contribution.” For “The Landowner’s Gift,” Sanders composed 14 songs that will be performed by a choir of 25 singers and 12 actors as well as a chamber group of five profes-

sional musicians. Taken together, the two stories at the center of this dramatic piece remind us all that we have been given the bounty of the earth to enjoy, but also to tend carefully. “The show makes the point that it is important to recognize life and its bounty as a gift to be enjoyed but never taken for granted,” Sanders explained. “True love and grace are boundless and offered equally to all, and we should rejoice when others experience love and grace, even if we feel some people are less deserving than others.” Sanders has spent a lifetime as

a professional musician and composer. She spent significant time plying her craft in Europe, particularly Germany. While she admits that the themes underlying her drama are religious in nature, she believes that “The Landowner’s Gift” will appeal to a general, more secular, audience as well. Sanders commented that “the landowner represents two figures: the head of the vineyard and also the Creator. The music helps the audience identify with different types of people in the story. These include: those who work eagerly and hard; those who work hard but always wait until

someone else takes the lead; those who procrastinate but still expect to be rewarded; and, those who do the absolute minimum to get by. “All of these behaviors are within each of us at times,” Sanders pointed out. The production includes set and costume designers. “The audience will see a vineyard and a marketplace,” Sanders said. The musical ensemble includes a piano, two flutes, bongos, wind chimes and rain sticks. Sanders noted that more than 40 people from a half dozen churches are involved in the production.

Bob Seger coming May 2 to Bryce Jordan Center From Gazette staff reports

Musical ‘Hair’ showing at Eisenhower Auditorium From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — The Public Theater’s new production of “Hair,” winner of the Tony Award for best revival of a musical, energetically depicts the birth of a cultural movement in the 1960s that changed America forever. The touring Broadway rock musical aims to resonate with audiences with its powerful messages of peace and love when it comes to Penn State’s Eisenhower Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. April 12. Tickets are available online at www.cpa.psu.edu or by phone at 814-8630255 or 800-ARTS-TIX. Tickets are also available at four State College locations: Eisenhower Auditorium (8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays), Penn State Downtown Theatre Center (9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays), HUB-Robeson Center Information Desk (11 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays) and Bryce Jordan Center (10 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays). A grant from the University Park Allocation Committee makes Penn State student prices possible. With an iconic score including hits such as “Let the Sun Shine In,” “Aquarius,” “Hair” and “Good Morning Starshine,” “Hair” follows a group of charismatic, freespirited young people who passionately preach a lifestyle of pacifism and free love in a society riddled with intolerance and

brutality. The critically acclaimed revival became a theatrical tour de force in its limited engagement in New York City’s Central Park. It later moved to Broadway, where it earned the 2009 Tony plus the Drama Desk, Drama League and Outer Critics Circle awards for outstanding revival of a musical. “Hair” features a book and lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado with music by Galt MacDermot. “Irresistible. The best version yet,” insisted a Washington Post critic. “‘Hair’ feels utterly of the moment in its power to move us,” wrote a Bloomberg News reviewer. “There’s nothing like it.” Parental discretion is advised. “Hair” includes a dimly lighted 20-second scene with nonsexual nudity. Audio description, which is especially helpful to patrons with sight loss, is available for this performance at no extra charge to ticket holders. Lynn Sidehamer Brown sponsors the presentation. Radio station 93.7 The BUS is the media sponsor. Artistic Viewpoints, an informal moderated discussion featuring Hair Company Manager Mark Johnson, will be 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 first-arrival basis.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band will return to the road this spring for the first leg of their Rock and Roll Never Forgets 2013 Tour, which includes the band’s first-ever performance at 7:30 p.m. May 2 at the Bryce Jordan Center. There is a signature richness and power to the music that Seger has been making for four decades, and as succeeding generations have discovered those qualities, his reputation as an artist and songwriter has only grown. Seger’s “Greatest Hits” collection sold more than 7 million copies, and albums like “Beautiful Loser” (1975), “Live Bullet” (1976), “Night Moves” (1976), “Stranger in Town” (1978), “Against the Wind” (1980) and “Nine Tonight” (1981)

The Pasquerilla Spiritual Center to feature film ‘God in the Box’ From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — On March 27, the Center of Ethics and Religious Affairs, along with several student organizations including Westminster Presbyterian Fellowship, Hillel, Lutheran Campus Ministry, the Vedic Society and Unitarian Universalist Students will screen the acclaimed documentary, “God in the Box.” This film, which received its world premiere at the 2011 Heartland Film Festival in Indianapolis, follows filmmaker Nathan Lang and his crew across America as they explore the diverse and curious ways people “see” God in their mind’s eye — through the lens of this amazing Box. Filmmakers also interview scholars, theologians, mythologists and an archaeologist who have joined the search for the origins of how we see God. Audience members will

have an opportunity to ask questions and speak with Lang, who will lead a discussion after the screening. “God in the Box” is part of the Center for Ethics and Religious Affairs’ Breaking the Box: Exploring Religious Stigmas and Misconceptions Film Series.
