Terror hits home for local marathoners By CHRIS MORELLI and SAMI HULINGS Centre County Gazette

Gazette file photo

TOO CLOSE: The Centre County community had several groups of runners participating in the Boston Marathon.

As the terror unfolded on Monday afternoon at the Boston Marathon, shock waves rippled throughout the country. A little more than four hours into the annual Patriots Day race in Boston, two blasts killed three people and injured at least 170 people. Runners, spectators and race day volunteers were hurt, some critically. In Centre County, families reached out to loved ones who were either running in the race or watching it. Members of the Nittany Valley Running Club were at

the marathon to raise money for Centre Volunteers in Medicine. George Lesieutre was one of 15 members of the NVRC in Boston for the event. It was his seventh Boston Marathon. He had already finished the race and was at his friend's house in Arlington, Mass., when the explosions occurred. Like many around the country, Lesieutre found out about the attack by turning on the television. His reaction? “Shock. It was a senseless and tragic end to what should have been a great day for so many people,” said Lesieutre, the head of the aerospace engineering department at Penn State. “What kind of person

Security increased for Blue-White game By The Associated Press STATE COLLEGE — Penn State is banning backpacks, bags and purses from Beaver Stadium for Saturday’s annual Blue-White intrasquad football scrimmage. The university said Tuesday it was ramping up security in the wake of the bombings Monday at the Boston Marathon. Tougher security measures are expected at upcoming major sporting events around the country following the explosions in Boston that killed three people and injured more than 170. Penn State says the same items banned from the stadium also won’t be allowed from all other campus venues holding events this week. Penn State is hosting the NCAA men’s gymnastics championship Friday through Sunday. The school says local and state police, as well as the FBI, will have heavier staffing and higher visibility.

Student-athletes hit back against bullying By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Nearly 40 Penn State student-athletes joined forces with Lady Lion Gizelle Studevent to take action against what has become a national epidemic — bullying. They call themselves Penn State Athletes Take Action, or PSATA for short. And their mission is simple: Put a stop to the bullying that takes place in our elementary, middle and high schools. Studevent and her fellow athletes spoke to students at Mount Nittany Middle School in State College on April 12. As she

walked through the halls in her No. 25 Lady Lion uniform, she made sure to get her message across loud and clear — bullying can no longer be tolerated. “This is really important for these students. Bullying is a big issue right now,” said Studevent. “These kids look up to athletes. I wanted to let them know that even we've been bullied. We know what it's like. We want to send the message that it's wrong.” Bullying is an issue that hits close to home for Studevent. She was a victim of bullying during middle school while growing up in Southern California.

STATE COLLEGE — April 22 may be its one special day on the calendar, but across the Centre Region, Earth Day is celebrated year round through a variety of green efforts, ranging from recycling and river cleanup to educational programs and organic growing. Kim Tait, owner of Tait Farm Foods in Centre Hall, said the farm tries to adhere to the belief that “every day is Earth Day.”

As a certified organic farm, Tait Farm’s regular practices include composting, growing produce without chemicals, creating healthy soil and planting cover crops, which help add fertility, prevent erosion and increase organic matter, Tait said. Additionally, the farm grows organic seedlings, sells organic gardening supplies and offers classes for the public on gardening, she said. “All of the products we make here are all natural,” she said. In its more than 30 years of

operation, Tait Farm aims to provide information and inspiration on how to live more locally and environmentally responsible, Tait said. “We’re the stewards,” she said. Tait said she believes it’s important to educate the community on these practices because it’s everyone’s responsibility to take care of the environment, and sometimes this type of information isn’t readily available to people, she said.

McQueary lawsuit against Penn State to go forward By MARK SCOLFORO The Associated Press

HARRISBURG — A whistleblower and defamation lawsuit against Penn State will go forward, a judge ruled Tuesday, denying the university’s request to have it dismissed. Former assistant football coach Mike McQueary sued the school in October, claiming he was portrayed as untruthful in statements made in 2011 by the university’s president after Jerry Sandusky’s arrest. Judge Thomas Gavin said McQueary’s lawsuit makes sufficient claims of “outrageous conduct” on the part of the school to keep the case alive. He gave the school 20 days to respond to the lawsuit filed in October. Penn State spokesman Dave La Torre declined to comment, and McQueary’s lawyer Elliot Strokoff did not return a phone message seeking comment. McQueary was a graduate assistant in February 2001 when he encountered Sandusky showering with a boy in a team locker room, complained about it to then-head coach Joe Paterno and then met with the two administrators about it. Sandusky was first charged with child sexual abuse in November 2011. At the same time, athletic director Tim Curley and vice president Gary Schultz, administrators who worked under then-president Graham Spanier, were accused of perjury and failure to properly report suspected abuse. McQueary testified against Sandusky in June during the criminal trial that ended with a 45-count guilty verdict against the former defensive coordinator. McQueary has lost his coaching job at the school. McQueary’s lawsuit involves a news re-

lease that Spanier issued in support of Curley and Schultz. Spanier gave the two his unconditional support and said he was confident the record would show the charges were groundless. If the perjury charges against CurMIKE MCQUEARY ley and Schultz were groundless, Gavin wrote, “one cannot help but deduce that McQueary’s contradictory testimony is untruthful.” The judge said McQueary asserts the university “treated him like a leper to be quarantined outside of State College” in the aftermath of the arrests of Sandusky, Schultz and Curley, isolating him from longstanding friends and colleagues. Additional charges were added last year against Curley and Schultz, and Spanier was also charged in the alleged cover-up of Sandusky complaints. A week ago, a judge ruled against their efforts to have the charges thrown out, and the next step could be a preliminary hearing or appeals. All three men deny the criminal allegations against them. Curley is on leave to complete the last year of his contract as athletic director. Spanier, forced out as president shortly after he issued the news release in support of Curley and Schultz, remains a tenured faculty member and is on paid leave. Schultz has retired. Sandusky, 69, is appealing his case while serving a 30- to 60-year state prison sentence.

Bullying, from page 1 “That's where the motivation came from. I feel like I'd be letting society down if I didn't share my stories. I've been through it and I know what it does to kids. I'm telling them to stand up to it and make a difference,” she said. When it comes to bullying in the United States, the numbers are staggering. According to the PSATA, studies have shown that an estimated 160,000 students miss school every day in the United States due to fear of an attack or intimidation. Bullying often results in fear, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. A total of 77 percent of students admit to being a victim of one form of bullying or another. Of that 77 percent, 14 percent suffer severe effects from the abuse. While bullying occurs in every grade, studies show that it tends to get worse as students enter middle school. Mount Nittany Middle School assistant principal Mark Feldman said he was pleased that the school was the first stop for the Penn State student-athletes. “I think it's awesome for our entire student body to be a part of this initiative and part of this endeavor. We really emphasize our anti-bullying efforts at the middle school level,” Feldman said. “To have the Penn State athletes come in and put a face to it and to have the kids hear some of their stories … for them to be able to interact with them, it just really builds a sense of community here in the middle school.” One of the many messages that the student-athletes were trying to get across to the middle school students was that bullying of any type is not acceptable. Bullying comes in many forms, making it a difficult subject for school administrators to get a handle on.

According to Feldman, social networks have taken bullying to new levels. “I think social media has brought a whole new dimension to it. Now, it's not just the schoolyard bully anymore,” Feldman said. “We are seeing things, whether they be on Facebook or other forms of social media. It just adds a whole new dimension to what we're dealing with on a daily basis. We don't monitor it, per se, but if issues are brought to our attention that affect students when they walk into our building, then we look at it as a school issue. We do deal with those.” Studevent said that technology has opened the door to new forms of bullying. “Technology is a great thing for a lot of reasons. On the downside, it provides an opening to reach more people and bully them,” she said. “With cellphones, it's easier to get in contact with people and say mean things. That's why we're here — to say it's wrong.” At Friday's event, there were plenty of activities throughout the school to keep the students engaged. The main event was a dodgeball tournament taking place in the gymnasium. In the cafeteria, a pizza party was being held while music played. In classrooms throughout the school, there were exercises taking place to get students to interact and talk with the student-athletes. In the hallways, some athletes signed autographs while others played ping pong with the students. Nearly every Penn State sports team was represented at the event. Alex Witt, a member of the Penn State women's gymnastics team, said she felt that it was important to represent her squad. “It's a great cause. We decided as a team to do this be-

Rather than trying to overcome it, Gizelle is trying to prevent it. The goal here is to stop it before it even starts.” Although there was plenty of fun being had in the hallways, classrooms and gymnasium, the message from Studevent and her fellow athletes was heard loud and clear by the Mount Nittany Middle School students. Spencer Perry, a sixth-grade student at the school, said the event was a step in the right direction. “This is a nice school and there aren't too many bullies,” Perry said. “I've seen some bullying, not a lot. But this is going to help. It's definitely going to make students feel better.” For more information about PSATA, visit www.psata.org.

Marathoners, from page 1

Penn State's cross country club team sent several runners. Ted Evans, Ian Knecht and Thomas Rudowsky are current students who took part in the race. There were also several alumni runners: Emily Fogel, Britt Kern, Kelsey Markham, Ben Neito, Brian Petraco and Shelley White. Evans is a sophomore at Penn State who was running in his first Boston Marathon. He qualified in October. He had already left the family meeting area when the explosions occurred. “Concern was my first reaction. I was afraid for my family's safety but also for the people at the finish,” Evans said. “Disappointment is also a strong emotion right now. This was a great weekend up until the bombing. Many people train months for an event like this so it's sad to see it end this way.” Once word spread of what had happened, there was panic, Evans said. “There were people running and all of the spectators were gone,” he said. “Many people don't run with their phones, so I can imagine contacting family members was hectic and stressful.” According to the Nittany Valley Running Club, all of its members who were taking part in the marathon were unhurt. Machnicki said that she made a point to check in with

None of the CVIM runners were hurt in the blasts. Machnicki is a graduate student at Penn State. After finishing her first Boston Marathon, she was well out of the area, meeting with her family when the bombs detonated. “I was confused,” Machnicki explained. “I had heard the explosion but thought maybe it was a cannon or fireworks for the race.” She was on her way to her car when police told her what happened. “My friend and I were trying to find the car and got turned around by police and told there was an explosion. There was a runner I ran the first half with and I really wanted to know if he was okay since he was behind me,” Machnicki said. Not everyone from Centre County running in the race was affiliated with CVIM.

everyone from the club. “I found my friend who had traveled with me right away. I called the other NVRC people a few hours later,” she said. According to Leisieutre, it was like any other Boston Marathon at the start. “(It was) the usual. People getting ready to run and having a little fun with their friends. Deciding what to wear, what to stow. Sunscreen? Gel to eat? Waiting in line for the porta-potties,” he said.

PAGE 6 Earth Day, from page 1 “I think most people would like to do better,” she said. Centre Region Parks and Recreation and Millbrook Marsh Nature Center celebrate Earth Day every year with an Earth Day Birthday event and an Earth Day scavenger hunt, according to staff. “People are more environmentally conscious now because it’s a widely discussed theme, but incorporating the practices into daily life is a challenge,” CRPR staff said. “Many people have started to recycle and buy green cleaning products, which is very important. However, many are still using Styrofoam, buying items with large amounts of plastic packaging, eating mass produced foods and not composting their garbage. There are always ways to be more green and Earth Day events like the one at Millbrook Marsh Nature Center helps educate people.” Staff at CRPR said teaching people about the Earth, about its resources, about the amount of drinking water available, and ways the future is impacted by today’s actions, are “important for the future generation of decision makers.” Centre Region Parks constantly practices and teaches a variety of green efforts, staff said, including recycling and dog waste pickup, which is encouraged by providing recycling cans and dog waste bags. “At Millbrook Marsh Nature Center, efforts are made for all activities to be as Earth-friendly as possible, and events (and) receptions use compostable materials (which decrease) the amount of waste,” staff said. “The new Spring Creek Educa-

THE CENTRE COUNTY GAZETTE tion Building at Millbrook Marsh is a LEED certified building and is included in our environmental education programs to teach about green building practices.” Staff at CRPR and Millbrook Marsh said they believe in getting people active and outdoors and helping them to learn to enjoy time outside through focus on providing non-electronic avenues for recreation, and encouraging people who have fears about nature to join them. “By removing barriers that keep people from enjoying nature, providing educational opportunities to learn about the wildlife, offering skill-based programs to learn outdoor recreation such as fly fishing and kayaking, and by providing clean and inviting parks for the residents, it encourages time spent outdoors and an active lifestyle,” staff said. “The lack of connectedness to the outdoors and the amount of time spent in front of a screen are widespread concerns because they impact the emotional health and well being, physical health, and many other factors.” At Penns Valley Conservation Association, Earth Day is celebrated with a river cleanup Saturday, followed by a day-long celebration of the river on Sunday, in an event referred to as Riversongs, which will begin at 1 p.m. at St. Luke’s Cultural Church in Millheim, according to PVCA executive director Andrea Ferich and president of the board Jim Zubler. “The river cleanup brings together people of all ages and backgrounds to keep our drinking water clean, keep trash out of our fishing holes, and to maintain the exceptional value of our headwaters for all who live, eat, drink and fish downstream,” Ferich and Zubler said in a statement. The river cleanup will begin at 9 a.m. Saturday at Coburn Park and will include trash removal along the banks of streams in the Upper Penns Creek Watershed: Pine, Penns, Elk and Sinking Creeks, according to the PVCA website. Also during the week of Earth Day, Penns Valley Conservation Association will continue its restoration efforts on the replanting of young forests in Muddy Creek in George’s Valley, in collaboration with local landowners, according to PVCA officials. This project, they said, is to help “ensure optimal health of the land and the waterways through the planting of riparian buffers, the forest area where the farm meets (the creek). This is what PVCA has done in years past, and this is what we will continue to do. It makes a difference.” The PVCA continuously teaches and practices green efforts, Ferich and Zubler said in the statement, including buying locally and supporting locally owned farms and businesses, which they said is “possibly one of the single most central issues.” Additionally, clean water is “the backbone to a healthy local economy,” they said. “Maintaining health of our water is imperative to the health of our citizens and the support of our ecotourism.” The PVCA believes that Earth Day is every day, so it’s important to encourage the community to come together to keep its air and water clean. “The Earth is in our lungs. It is what we eat, our skin, our brains, our hearts,” they said in the statement. “How we care for the Earth is a reflection of how we care for each other, our children, our neighbors. It is all of our small acts of kindness that change the world.”

Robert Sweitzer, manager of the Centre County Conservation District, said the agency is responsible for local administration of water and soil conservation programs. The office works with farmers and contractors on a regular basis to administer conservation programs at a county level, he said. For Earth Day, the Centre County Conservation District participates in PennDOT’s Adopt-A-Highway program and Clearwater Conservancy’s watershed cleanup, Sweitzer said. And in the spring, the district hosts a seedling sale in which seeds are sold to the public. “(This event is) in hopes that (attendees) will plant them and improve their landscapes,” he said. The Centre County Conservation District also hosts a variety of education programs in the spring, Sweitzer said, including workshops for farmers that offer information in such areas as manure management plans, so farmers can be in compliance with local regulations. The agency also sponsors Envirothon, an outdoor environmental education program for high school students. The competition, Sweitzer said, will be held May 8 at Bald Eagle State Park, and involves various stations with the themes of aquatic ecology, forestry, wildlife, and soils and land use. Teams go to each station and are tested on their knowledge in those areas, he said, and the winners go on to the Pennsylvania Envirothon, held May 21 and 22 at Juniata College. Those winners, he said, go on to the North American Envirothon. This program, Sweitzer said, started in Pennsylvania 25 years ago, and since has spread across North America. “Kids are motivated by competition,” he said. Sweitzer said he believes teaching young people about the environment is important in order to give them the knowledge and experience to “make informed decisions that will impact all of us in the long run.” Douglas Ford, chairperson on the program advisory committee of the Penn State Extension Master Gardeners of Centre County, said the organization’s mission is to support the Penn State Cooperative Extension by using research-based information to educate the public on best practices in consumer horticulture and environmental stewardship. “The Master Gardener program believes and operates as if every day is Earth Day because without a healthy planet we cannot survive,” Ford said. One of the group’s main priorities, Ford said, is on educating the public about the importance of pollinators and the creation of pollinator-friendly gardens and habitats critical to maintaining a healthy ecosystem and food supply. “Our pollinators are being stressed and in many cases are in decline due to habitat loss; overuse and abuse of pesticides; an escalation of invasive plant and animal species from other parts of the world that do not support our native insects, birds and animals; and an increase in diseases and parasites.” Ford said it’s important to promote environmental education because with advancements in technology and transportation, society has become much more separated from the environment. “We no longer have to provide any of our own food and can go to our local supermarket and buy foods from around the world that never used to exist year-round,” he said. “Our concept of natural beauty has increasingly become a well manicured lawn, a golf course, or colorful and exotic plants from other parts of the world that do nothing to support insect life.” Additionally, Ford said, today children have less and less interaction with nature, so their understanding on reliance on natural environment, and how people impact it, has been declining. “Many of our educational outreach programs are focused on direct education to children and youth in the schools, at our demonstration gardens, and by partnering with numerous organizations in the county, such as Penn State’s Center for Pollinator Research, the Penn State Arboretum, Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center, ClearWater Conservancy, Centre Region Parks and Recreation, and many others for events such as Earth Day.” According to the Sustainability Institute at Penn State, Penn State celebrates Earth Day with a variety of events, known as Earth Week, from Thursday through Monday, including guest speakers, an expo and

From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday there will be an Earth Day Expo at Alumni Hall in the HUB-Robeson Center, in which attendees can learn about sustainability efforts from campus and downtown organizations, such as Engineers for a Sustainable World, CATA and Penn State’s Sustainability Institute. “Penn State's Earth Week celebrations highlight how our students, faculty and staff are working together to make our community a better place to work and live,” said Lydia Vandenbergh, an organizer of the event from Penn State’s Sustainability Institute. “The energy and passion is infectious and I always come away from the Friday expo with new ideas for improving how I can use resources more wisely and improve my quality of life. I hope we can share this energy with others.” On Monday, Majora Carter, an internationally renowned urban revitalization strategist, will give a presentation beginning at 5:30 p.m. at 100 Thomas building, according to Penn State’s Sustainability Institute. The presentation, “Home(town) Security,” will focus on new challenges and opportunities for wilderness conservation, traditional markets, and public health evolving every day. The event is sponsored by the university’s Finance and Business Stewardship and Penn State’s Institutes of Energy and the Environment, according to the institute. Rob Andrejewski, program manager of the Sustainability Institute at Penn State, said while sustainability efforts on campus are year round, Earth Week is a great chance to find out what’s going on elsewhere. “This week is a huge opportunity,” he said. Earth Week events at Penn State enable people to share projects and resources that others are doing, as well as encourage engagement and action, Andrejewski said. These events provide a forum to learn what’s happening in the field and gain knowledge in a variety of areas, which is especially beneficial at a place as large as Penn State, he said. An ongoing mission of the Sustainability Institute, Andrejewski said, is to continually try to reach people who may not even realize they’re interested in sustainability. “(It) affects all of us,” he said. In general, people want to achieve a healthier community, he said, and to “learn from one another how to do it.” Year long efforts of the Sustainability Institute, according to its website, include helping to incorporate sustainability practices and learning opportunities into daily life across the university. Just recently, a new office was established on campus that combines four or five different efforts committed to sustainability, Andrejewski said. One of the institute’s core focus, Andrejewski said, is on communications: measuring sustainability practices and greenhouse gases, and reporting findings. Another main focus, he said, is on advising the senior administration on goals to become a more socially responsible university, as well as outreach to the community. Outreach to the community, Andrejewski explained, involves connecting student and faculty research with the needs of the community.

Bombings reveal our true character By Scripps-Howard News Service The festive national flags at the finish line of the Boston Marathon had barely stopped flapping from the force of the bombings when the crowds did something noble and unexpected. Instead of fleeing from the site of the bombings or staring numbly at the wreckage, they rushed to help the wounded, offering reassurance, applying tourniquets and carrying the wounded to the arriving ambulances. These were not just first responders, but the runners themselves and family members and other spectators who had gathered for a celebration that was never to be. This is not what the experts counsel. It is an al-Qaida trademark to plant a second, delayed bomb in hopes of killing the rescue workers. But that quick, humane reaction says something wholly admirable about the people gathered on Boylston Street and, by extension, the people of Boston, too. We like to think other Americans would have reacted the same way; equally, we hope they are never called on to do so. With the FBI in the lead, law enforcement began the painstaking work of gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses and hoping, in the words of Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis, to turn up “witnesses who don’t know they are witnesses.” And detectives began the work familiar to any viewer of a modern crime show, gathering up the great number of photos from videos, cellphone cameras and store and traffic surveillance cameras. Davis pledged that police would study “every frame of every video.” In this age, it is very likely that somewhere there exist images of the perpetrator or perpetrators. The circumstances suggested some familiarity with Boston. Patriots Day is a public holiday in Massachusetts, but it is not widely celebrated, or even known, elsewhere. The bombs were placed on the side of the street with the largest number of spectators and were timed to go off, not to catch the winners and the faster runners but to detonate when the great mass of middling runners reached the finish line. With the exception of the 2009 mass shooting of 13 soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas, by a deranged Muslim major, this is the worst terrorist attack on a U.S. city since 9/11. But there have been at least 19 close calls, including the Underwear Bomber aboard an aircraft in 2009 and the thwarted Times Square bombing in 2010. The lesson is that vigilance and preparation can greatly mitigate, though never completely block, a determined terrorist. The consolation is that this terrorist, or terrorists, almost inevitably will be caught.

Allies abroad deserve U.S. protection By DALE McFEATTERS Scripps Howard News Service

You would think we had learned our lesson about the need to protect Iraqi civilians who risked their lives to assist Americans during the war in Iraq. Unhappily, you would be wrong. The insurgents targeted for assassination any Iraqis who worked for the United States forces — especially as interpreters with combat units, where their skills were invaluable. As the U.S. presence wound down, the interpreters found themselves not only unemployed but also unprotected from their would-be killers. The obvious solution was to bring them and their families to the United States, but the process of approving their visas was so slow and complex that it barely functioned. Pressure by Congress and returning members of the U.S. military brought some improvement, but the process never really did become fast, efficient and fair.

Now, the same thing is happening in Afghanistan — only it’s worse. According to The New York Times, the Taliban have put a premium on killing Afghans who have helped the U.S. forces. They have tried three times to kill Sulaiman — The Times didn’t further identify him for his own safety, such as it is — wounding him at least once. And no wonder: His job is as a “high-value combat interpreter” for U.S. special operations troops. Once those troops leave, Sulaiman is effectively a dead man. “His best hope is one that has remained beyond his grasp despite years of effort: an American visa,” says The Times. How difficult can it be to get a visa? After 10 years and more than 300 missions with the special-ops unit, Sulaiman, 26, has certainly earned one. And for the nights of terror and his prolonged absences, so has his family. But the State Department is offering far fewer visas — 7,500 in

Afghanistan versus 25,000 in Iraq — and it has set up more restrictions. In processing and issuing visas, it has reverted to its customary glacial pace. The need is there. Some 8,000 Afghans worked as interpreters for U.S. forces, not to mention others who worked for American news organizations and contractors. It may be an old-fashioned concept, but we owe a debt of honor to Sulaiman and the others who helped us at great personal risk. Furthermore, it is in our own self-interest. Rewarding our faithful allies with U.S residency is a powerful inducement for locals to sign on with us, especially because we seem to be fighting more wars in nations whose languages we don’t speak and whose cultures we don’t understand. If Sulaiman gets to United States, as he should, he wants to join the U.S. Army and attend Ranger School. If through bureaucratic inertia and ineptitude he is left behind to be killed by the Taliban, shame, shame on us.

HEALTH & WELLNESS ‘Weight of the Nation’ series being shown at State Theatre By BRITTANY SVOBODA community@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — The environment and genetics are both large influences in obesity, a documentary shown at the State Theatre explained on April 9. At the free screening and community discussion, part two of the HBO documentary series “The Weight of the Nation� was shown to passionate community members. “Choices� explored the specific reasons why people might be obese and some things they can do to reduce their chances of developing serious other health issues. The presentation continues the conversation about changes people can make to “stay fit, stay healthy, avoid chronic illness and ... keep healthcare costs low,� said host Dr. Stephen Donelan, a member of Mount Nittany Physician Group’s department of nephrology. The documentary tells the stories of people who were struggling with obesity and what they were doing about it. Two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese, according to the documentary. Most often, people get to this point when they lead a sedentary lifestyle and have a poor diet. A person is at more of a risk for becoming obese if someone else in their family is or was. In order to achieve long term results, you need to start with small lifestyle changes, both the documentary and event panelists suggest. Endocrinologist Susan Trainor of

Mount Nittany Physician Group said to identify one small thing you can change about your diet or level of activity. Little things over time, she said, add up to big losses. “Start small and be progressive,� said Bruce Burke, founder of One on One Fitness. Keeping a calorie log is something many overweight and obese people do to track what they are eating and make changes where it is necessary. Becoming structured will give you the best chance to achieve long-term results, according to the documentary.

Many people fall into a sedentary rut because they have jobs that keep them in front of a computer for eight hours a day. The documentary showed people who worked in an office and started walking two miles during one of their breaks to offset the time they spend at their desk. One of the easiest ways to start making yourself healthier, however, is to eliminate soft drinks and artificially

sweetened beverages from your diet. These products are the only ones that have been directly linked to obesity, according to the documentary. “Diet has a lot to do with disease,� said Tammy Impellitteri, a registered dietician with Mount Nittany Physician Group. The documentary said a person who is trying to maintain weight loss needs to take in about 20 percent less calories than someone who did not lose weight. For example, the average woman needs 2,000 calories a day to live. Someone who is trying to maintain their weight loss, however, can only take in 1,600 calories a day. Burke said you cannot take in an unlimited amount of calories and expect to keep seeing results. People should take a “holistic approach� to their diets, Trainor said, and strive to stay away from fad diets as well as make sure they’re getting the proper nutrients by eating protein, fruits and vegetables as well as carbohydrates and fats. Mount Nittany Medical Center’s health campaign “Know Your Numbers� also encourages community members to see their doctor to figure out their health status and make changes if necessary. Trainor said she thinks people should always know what they are at risk for based on their health-level. “Once you know about it, you can do something about it,� she said. “The Weight of the Nation� series continues at the State Theatre next Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.

American Cancer Society needs subjects for study By BRITTANY SVOBODA community@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — The American Cancer Society is looking for dedicated community members to participate in its third cancer prevention study. “The idea of the study is to figure out what causes cancer so we can ultimately prevent it in the future,� said Jenn

Schweighauser, health initiatives representative for the American Cancer Society in Central Pennsylvania. American Cancer Society aims to enroll 300,000 people nation-wide in the cancer prevention study (CPS-3) and 500 in Centre County, Schweighauser said. Two similar studies were done in the 1950s and the 1980s, which studied cigarette usage in relation to lung cancer and

Home Nursing Agency Behavioral Health Services earns accreditation From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — Home Nursing Agency Behavioral Health Services recently announced its approval of accreditation status by the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC). The following services are accredited through March 2016: day treatment services, case management services, intensive in-home services, intensive outpatient treatment services, outpatient treatment services, psychosocial rehabilitation services, personal support services, partial hospitalization services and supervised group living services. Accreditation by ACHC reflects an organization’s dedication and commitment to meeting standards that facilitate a higher

level of performance and patient care. ACHC is a not-for-profit accrediting organization that has stood as a symbol of quality and excellence since 1986. “The accreditation of our behavioral health programs is a reflection of the professionalism and expertise of our staff, and more importantly, to their extraordinary commitment to serving the children, adolescents and adults living in our communities with highest high quality of behavioral health care,� said Robert Packer, Home Nursing Agency president and CEO. “Overall, Home Nursing Agency benchmarks itself with the top 20 percent of companies nationwide, which is why we voluntarily seek accreditation. It provides the credibility that we meet and exceed the standards of a national accrediting body like ACHC.�

what factors genetics have in someone developing cancer, respectively. Results from these studies show the effect cigarette smoking and secondhand smoke have on lung cancer and the link between obesity and cancer. “Obviously a lot has changed since the 80s,� Schweighauser said. “We’re taking a look at lifestyle again to see if sitting down all day does have a negative impact and we’re also looking at genetics.� Because of these studies, the American Cancer Society said it has been able to improve the scientific understanding of the causes of cancer and apply it to public health education and guidelines. Anyone between the ages of 35 and 60 who has never been diagnosed with cancer, excluding basal or squamous cell skin cancer, and is willing to make a long termcommitment to the study are encouraged

to enroll. Upon registration participants will be asked to fill out a 15-minute survey, provide physical measurements and give blood samples, Schweighauser said. Afterward, she said the study continues in-home and participants are asked to fill out longer surveys every two to three years. Schweighauser said the $100 million research study is the only nationwide general population study happening. Enrollment days and places for CPS-3 are from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on June 1 at the Relay for Life in Bellefonte; from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on June 4 at AccuWeather; from 2 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on June 4 at the Moshannon Valley YMCA and from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 5 at Mount Nittany Medical Center.

Area high school hosts annual ‘Empty Bowls’ event From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — State College Area High School will host its annual Empty Bowls event on April 24 at Chatter’s Cafe in State College High School South. Doors will open at 5 p.m. with two seatings available — 6 and 7 p.m. This is a cooperative effort between State College Area School District art students, culinary arts students and the State College Food Bank. Attending guests are asked to email their reservations to operations@scfoodbank.org and include the following: name, reservation seating, how many attending, and soup preference. Soups will include California vegetable chili (vegan), southwestern shicken tortilla, smoked seafood chowder and Thai red curry. Cost is $35 per person. Checks should be made out to State College Area Food Bank. Reservations will be limited to a first-come first-serve basis, with a maximum seating of 30 for each time slot. Empty Bowls is a worldwide grassroots movement aimed to address world hunger. In exchange for a cash donation, guests receive a handcrafted pottery bowl and a freshly prepared meal of soup, salad, artisan bread and dessert. Guests are asked to keep a bowl as a reminder of all

the empty bowls in the world. The bowls are created by State High students enrolled in ceramics and members of the pottery club. Additionally, the meal is also created by State High students enrolled in the culinary arts program. This year Galaxy guest artist Lynn Anne Verbeck also helped students make artwork for the event. There will be live jazz as well as a silent art auction. All proceeds go directly to the State College Area Food Bank to help end hunger in the community. State College Area High School has a long tradition of Empty Bowls events beginning in 1998. Created by The Imagine Render Group, events have now taken place across the United States and in at least a dozen other countries. Each individual or group organizing an Empty Bowls event designs it around the needs of their own community. The largest hunger-relief organization in the United States, Feeding America, reports that the nation’s food banks could soon be overwhelmed by demand. Statistics show that one out of eight Americans struggle with food insecurity every day. Millions of people have lost their jobs during the most recent recession and the number of food stamp recipients has increased dramatically, making fundraisers like Empty Bowls more vital than ever.

Railroad track car enthusiasts gather for rail excursion By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — On April 14, an unusual railroad excursion took place in Centre County. No trains were involved, though. Instead, the participants rode in diminutive, four-wheeled powered vehicles called track cars, motorcars or speeders. They run on railroad tracks, and were used decades ago for track inspection and light maintenance tasks. The name “speeders� is a misnomer, as the cars travel at a speed of only around 25 miles per hour. They were called speeders because they were so much faster than the human powered handcars they replaced. The track cars were used by railroads until the late 1960s when they were replaced by Hy-rail vehicles, which are conventional automobiles, SUV’s or pickup trucks fitted with retractable flanged wheels allowing them to travel on rails or highways. The Sunday morning gathering was held along the tracks of the Nittany and Bald Eagle Railroad in front of the old Corning Glass plant at Dale Summit. Nearly 50 track cars were trailered in from all around Pennsylvania and several neighboring states. Included in the participants were four cars from the Centre County area. George Baney, of Bellefonte, brought his orange fiberglass-

bodied car made in Canada. “Mine’s the one that needs a paint job,� said Baney. His car has a weathered matte patina indicative of its years of use. Barry Wuntz, of Bellefonte, brought his car, painted in the gray and green colors and markings of the old Bellefonte Central Railroad. The track cars, each weighing about 1,000 pounds, are unloaded from their trailers at the crossing, and set sideways on the tracks. Rotating the cars to get them on the track is done by one of two ways. Many were equipped with a retractable turntable on the car’s undercarriage. The turntable extends, and the car can easily be rotated and set on the track as the turntable retracts. Other cars used a simpler method. The cars have extendable wheelbarrow-like handles which let the owner lift up one end of the car and pivot it around to align with the tracks. The cars have simple designs. A small gasoline engine drives the rear axle through a chain and sprockets, or a belt on some models. Their transmissions have forward and reverse gears, many with just one speed, but some have two speed transmissions for greater efficiency. The most popular engine is an Onan two-cylinder industrial engine of about 20 horsepower, but many of the older models were equipped with single cylinder two-stroke en-

‘Dog Jog’ scheduled From Gazette staff reports CENTRE HALL — The annual Pets Come First “Dog Jog� is scheduled for 10 a.m. on April 27 at the Grange Fair Grounds, Gate 2 in Centre Hall. The 5K race begins at 10, while the 1.5K walk and fun run is scheduled for 11 a.m. Registration for both events begins at 8:30 a.m. Cost is $30. Registration includes a T-shirt and bandana while supplies last. Racers without dogs are welcome. There will be a pet fair featuring rescues, animal resources, a silent auction, refreshments, awards and prizes for runners and walkers. The silent auction will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Last year 157 dogs, along with 252 runners and walkers, came together and raised over $38,000 in donations. The mission statement of Pets Come First is placing homeless animals in forever homes and controlling the pet population by spaying and neutering.

gines, easily recognized by their popcorn-popper sound when idling. Interiors of the cars are spartan, to say the least. Small vinyl seats flank a center console which contains the car’s controls, and covers the engine, drive train and fuel tank. No heaters, air conditioners or radios are to be found. Most of the cars have metal or fiberglass side doors, but some have cloth curtains, and some have no side coverings at all. One man brought a “bare bones� car which had no cab at all, and did not even have a seat. The operator sat sidesaddle on the center console. “That’s the way it came from the factory, and that’s the way I plan to keep it,� he said. The owners and operators of the cars are members of NARCOA, the North American Railcar Operators Association. This nonprofit organization is dedicated to the preservation and safe operation of railroad equipment. It was formed in 1980, and has approximately 1,800 members worldwide. NARCOA sponsors track car excursions nationwide, and provides insurance for its members. It also requires that rail car operators pass a written test, and demonstrate their ability to operate the cars before they are allowed to participate in their events. Safety is stressed by the group. The track cars are required to carry fire extinguishers, first

Penns Valley streams draw anglers on opening day By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — Some of the best trout fishing waters in the country are located right here in Centre County. Three creeks — Elk Creek, Penns Creek and Sinking Creek — flow through rural Penns Valley. Those streams always draw a crowd of anglers on the opening day of trout fishing season. This year’s opening day, April 13, drew a large crowd of anglers along the banks of Sinking Creek and Penns Creek. Parked vehicles lined the roads at every turn, and crowds of anglers lined the banks of the creeks from Potter Township to Coburn. The morning weather was good for fishing — cool and sunny, with a gentle breeze. A family picnic atmosphere was seen along the streams, with numerous canopies, lawn chairs, and barbecue grills set

up for the anglers and their families to enjoy. Many parents and grandparents were seen coaching their children and grandchildren on the fine art of fishing. At around 9:30 a.m., Charles Filipowicz, of Bellefonte, landed a beautiful 21-inch rainbow trout from the banks of Sinking Creek. “I got it on a spinner,” said Filipowicz. He was very proud of his catch, which he pulled in without a landing net. Further downstream at the western edge of Spring Mills, Doug Madden, of Shamokin, reeled in a nice 20-inch rainbow trout, caught on power bait. “It hit on the first cast,” he said. Madden and his friends are attracted by the great fishing in the streams of Centre County. “We come up here every year,” he said.

READY FOR KICKOFF Blue-White Game gives O’Brien a chance to see what he’s working with in 2013 STEVE TRESSLER/ Vista Professional Studios

BILL O’BRIEN will use the 2013 Blue-White Game to audition players to fill holes at several key positions.

By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — What a difference a year makes. The 2013 Blue-White game will kick off on Saturday afternoon, and it is difficult to comprehend all that has happened since the kickoff of the 2012 game. At first, when the NCAA sanctions were announced, it seemed entirely possible that the Penn State football team would be entering a four-year winter in which the team would lose everything that has made Penn State football so special for so long. There were dire predictions coming in from everywhere, and the fact that most of

those predictions have not come to pass has beeen a huge relief for Penn State fans everywhere. And a huge credit to Penn State head coach Bill O’Brien and his staff. Along with 2012 seniors like Michael Mauti, Matt McGloin, and Gerald Hodges, O’Brien and his people were almost miraculously able to keep that team mostly intact and have a very impressive and successful 2012 season. There were losses — most notably star running back Silas Redd to USC — and the team did start the season 0-2 with losses in winnable games. Yet that team had pride, resilience, and a tremendous work ethic, and it won eight of its last 10 games and tied for the Big Ten Leaders’ division championship with Ohio State. Its accomplishments are well documented, and it will go down as one of the most memorable, if not important, teams in PSU history. So now it’s 2013, and the aura surrounding this game is completely different from last year. It is, frankly, nice to be back to talking about just football and what this year’s Blue-White game can tell us about what we’ll see in September. So let’s do that: Quarterback — Every quarterback on the roster in the spring of 2012 is gone, and there are a lot of people around, including O’Brien, who wish record-breaking senior Matt McGloin had another year or two running the team. “Record-breaking senior” would not have been a description many people would have used to describe McGloin, but under O’Brien and with a lot of hard work, that’s what he became. Now, all eyes will be on O’Brien’s new crop of prospects — returning sophomore Steve Bench, Juco transfer Tyler Ferguson,

run-ons Austin Whipple and DJ Crook, and highly rated incoming freshman Christian Hackenberg. We’ll get a look at Bench, Ferguson, Whipple and Crook on Saturday, but most people think the race will come down to Bench or Ferguson, with Hackenberg an interesting wild card. “Our quarterbacks, these are smart guys,” O’Brien said about the quarterbacks. “It’s not like they’ve made a ton of mental errors. I think that these guys have had productive practices. Has every play been great? No. But, you could say that for every position. “The word patience is a very important word here, especially as it relates to me. Coming from pro football, I definitely have to learn more patience with all these young players. I think I have, but I can even do a better job of being more patient with them. These guys are 18-19 years old and we’ve got to let them grow and get better and that’s what we’re trying to do.” The 2013 Offense — O’Brien said that, even with the inexperience at quarterback, he is expanding the number of plays and the complexity in the offense for 2013. What exactly that entails, we will have to wait until September to find out. Last year McGloin said that Penn State used only 10 percent of the offense in the BlueWhite game, so we will probably not see much more than that. “At the end of the day,” O’Brien said, “when I say ‘expand,’ I think what I really was saying yesterday was we have to do things a little bit different because we have a different team. We have veteran tight ends. Last year, our tight ends, a lot of those guys were brand new. We’ve got a receiver (Allen Robinson) that caught 80 passes last year and the year before that he only had three. We’ve got a veteran team. It doesn’t necessarily mean that we’ll be doing more, it just means that we’ll be doing different things.” Depth — Depth will be a major concern for Penn State, not only this season but in the next three at least. With only 15 scholarships per year, the Nittany Lions will have a more pro-like roster and rely on the “run-ons” quite a bit in practice and in games as well. This means that the top line starters will

play on Saturday, but not as much as we are used to. The game will probably be used to hash out the next levels of the depth chart while minimizing the chance of injury, especially at linebacker where PSU does not have a lot of depth. “We’re not going to consider moving anybody (to linebacker)” O’Brien said. “For that position, there’s really nobody to move. We’re just going to do a great job of monitoring it and getting those guys good reps, but then making sure we get them out of there and get some of our younger guys reps. That’s what we have to do.” Running Backs — Zach Zwinak, Rob Bolton, Akeel Lynch. Get there early, we probably will not see too much of those three. “We have three backs that have all competed very, very hard,” O’Brien said. “(Zach) Zwinak, Billy Belton and Akeel Lynch. Each guy has improved; each guy has practiced well. I have been very pleased with that position this spring.” Offensive Line — Unlike past years, the buzz about the offensive line is all positive. They have shifted around positions somewhat, and Gary Gilliam has joined their ranks after playing tight end last season, but tackles Donovan Smith, Nate Cadogan, Adam Gress, Anthony Alosi, guards John Urschel, Eric Shrive, Miles Dieffenbach, Brendan Mahon and Ty Howle, and centers Angelo Mangiro and Wendy Laurent are all in the mix. This could be one of the strong points of the team, and it will be interesting to see how they are all used on Saturday. Defense — There are great players to replace here — Jordan Hill, Mauti, Hodges to name a few — but there was young talent everywhere on the 2012 team. Linemen Deion Barns and DaQuan Jones, linebackers Mike Hull, Glen Carson, Nyeem Wartman, and the entire secondary will draw special interest on a defense that is capable of equaling or exceeding last season’s. Tight Ends and Receivers — Can’t wait to see them play and to find out if there’s another Allen Robinson lurking in the background. Scoring in the Game — Couldn’t figure it out last year. Will try harder this year. Prediction — Blue team by 7.

Another Blue-White Game, another QB competition By TIM TOLLEY Somehow, it never seems to get old. For the fourth consecutive spring, and fifth time in six years, the Nittany Lions entered camp with a question mark at the most important posiTim Tolley is the tion.

Email him no stranger to the at psutimm@gmail. dreaded quarterback com. competition. While similar in many aspects, the 2013 version varies a bit from the norm. Missing from the past is the blue chip freshman and fan favorite. Unlike the past, fans seem open to a true competition. By all accounts, that’s exactly what the Nittany

Lions are holding. According to Bill O’Brien’s tele-conference last week, both Steven Bench and Tyler Ferguson had amassed an equal amount of reps through camp thus far. A total of 168 reps apiece, to be exact. In Steven Bench, O’Brien has a sophomore who beat out Paul Jones for the backup role last summer and spent the season behind Matt McGloin. In limited action, Bench threw just eight passes, but showed a bit of the athleticism that makes him unique. A standout pitcher in high school, Bench clocked a 4.71 second 40-yard dash at a camp before his senior season. He has the confidence and ability required and, at 6-foot-2, 210 pounds, he possesses more than adequate size for the position. The advantage he has over all that is his time spent in the program. O’Brien has said that last year’s offense was the “foundation” and that they’ll be building on it this year. Bench’s top challenger, Ferguson, will have to play catch up.

Ferguson stands out among the current quarterbacks, literally. At 6-foot-4, it’s hard to miss him among the crowd. His weight, reportedly 195 pounds, is a bit of a concern, but he should be able to bulk up a bit over the summer. Ferguson came to Penn State via the junior college route. He spent 2012 in California at the College of Sequoias, where he threw for 2,600 yards and 22 touchdowns. Both quarterbacks had strong high school careers, but failed to amass impressive offer sheets. As a three star prospect, Bench was the “second option” for several schools in the south and received his only other BCS offer from Mississippi State after he committed to Penn State. Ferguson was on the radar of several schools but came out of high school among a tremendous quarterback class in California and suffered a collarbone injury his senior year which made college recruiters cool on him. Despite all of that, the focus will be on these two this Saturday at noon and one of them will most likely be

Of course, high school phenom Christian Hackenberg will have something to say about that when he arrives on campus this summer, but he’ll have some catching up to do. He’s already more than 168 reps behind.

O’Brien expanding playbook By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Bill O’Brien knows that teams will be ready to face Penn State’s dynamic and multi-pronged attack and that means things will have to change in year number two. “Last year was the foundation for the offense. We have to add more because our opponents have seen it for a year,� O’Brien said today. “We’re a different team. Whoever the quarterback is will be a different guy ... We’ve added and we’ve adapted (the playbook) to the type of team we have.� “We’ve added more to our language,� O’Brien said. “I think the quarterbacks have adapted well. I think it’s all about how hard you work at leaning at it, and how good of a job you do at teaching it.� For Penn State and O’Brien the success of the 2013 season in large part will have to do with the ability of a new quarterback to learn the offense. With three different names in the running it’s a physical competition as much as it is a mental one. Both Steven Bench and Tyler Ferguson will have a significant head start on summer-enrolling

freshman Christian Hackenberg. “Really, I can’t say that one guy has really stood out above the other guy,� O’Brien said. “These guys have had to catch up to the veteran guys, and I think they’ve done a good job. Both guys have had tough moments. Both guys have had good moments.� How dynamic was Penn State’s offense? Matt McGloin broke a handful of Penn State’s single season passing records while receiver Allen Robinson led the conference in receptions (77), receiving yards (1,013) and receiving touchdowns (11) last season. When Robinson wasn’t grabbing passes, Penn State’s stable of tight ends was one of the most utilized in the nation, pulling down 82 catches for almost 1,100 yards and 10 touchdowns. Running back Zach Zwinak rushed for just over a 1,000 yards giving the Nittany Lions a solid offensive attack of three separate offensive weapons with over a 1,000 yards of total offense. Penn State returns almost every major asset offensively from 2012 for O’Brien to work with, but wrinkles, new formations, and different packages could turn an already efficient offense into one that is even more entertaining in 2013.

Ficken hopes to continue hot streak UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State placekicker Sam Ficken’s reputation with some fans is likely unearned. Much like former quarterback Matt McGloin’s interception frenzy against Florida in the Outback Bowl, Ficken’s 1-for-5 outing against Virginia early last season isn’t entirely indicative of his true talent. Over the first five games of the year Ficken struggled hitting only 2-of-8 field goals and was an unspoken reason for Penn State’s eagerness to use all four downs to its advantage. Despite a solid high school resume, Ficken was struggling

to get it going again. Just like a basketball player getting out of a shooting slump, Ficken turned it around, hitting 12-of-13 field goal attempts to end the year. His current 10 straight field goal streak extends over five games and includes two separate games of three made field goals. While fans may look back at Ficken’s performance against Virginia with the fear it may return, a look at history and Ficken’s final five games may tell a less daunting story. “I’ve built on that in the offseason, and getting my fundamentals like perfect, my mechanics perfect,� Ficken said last week. “I’m kicking as best as I’ve ever had.� Interestingly enough, Kevin Kelly, one of

O’Brien wants ground game to be a group effort By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — With the departure of running back Silas Redd early in Bill O’Brien’s tenure there was an understandable level of concern entering the 2012 season. A talented running back with the skills that Redd had while at Penn State was not going to be easy to replace. Surprisingly, Zach Zwinak landed the starting job and rushed for a casual 1,000 yards and six touchdowns in his first season of significant action. While Zwinak didn’t have the blistering speed or shifty moves that some of Penn State’s recent tailbacks have had, his efficient and hardworking style of play blended in well with Bill O’Brien’s offense. This season, the addition of a refocused Bill Belton and redshirt freshman Akeel Lynch will give the Nittany Lions simply too much talent in the backfield to give all of the carries to Zwinak. “I think all three of those guys can catch the ball,� Penn State coach Bill O’Brien said. “I think you’ve got three very, very different skill sets in the fact that you’ve got Zwinak who is just around 235, 240 pounds; big, tough kid, very strong guy, had a great off-season in the weight room.� “Then you’ve got a guy like Billy Belton, who is not quite as big as Zwinak, he has got good quickness, he can catch the football. He’s lost some weight, he’s in better

condition and we’re really looking forward to seeing what he does.� “Then you’ve Akeel Lynch who had a tremendous off-season in the weight room, improved his speed, improved his conditioning level and he’s somewhere in between size-wise and all those different things I talked about early on, between Zwinak and Belton, so he’s a little bit of both.� How does O’Brien plan on using each of the three backs? He’s excited about what they have to offer, but he doesn’t want to tip his hand just yet. “Yeah, I’d love to be able to tell you exactly what I want to do with the running backs, but that would be awful stupid of me to do that. It will be fun to watch those guys and then we’ll have to, especially me, I’ll have to do a good job of putting them in the right spot to take advantage of what they do best.� This weekend’s Blue-White game might give fans an idea of what to expect from each back this year, especially Lynch, who has gathered a lot of hype but his onfield abilities have yet to be seen by many outside the practice field. Penn State returns a 1,000-yard receiver in Allen Robinson, a 1,000-yard rusher in Zwinak, and a 1,000-yard stable of tight ends that were one of the most productive combos in the country. Lynch and Belton will both look to add their names to an impressive list of offensive talent in Happy Valley.

Penn State’s more respected kickers, made 16 field goals in 23 attempts his freshman season, not a far cry from Ficken’s 14-of-21 output. For Ficken the biggest key will be consistency and good start to the season, something he focuses on at every practice. “I can kick it a little bit farther; I’ve gotten stronger, and I’ve shortened my steps down and kind of taken out that room for error that I’ve kind of struggled with,� he said. A more reliable Ficken could mean more field goals in 2013 a year after Penn State’s offense frequently stayed on the field on fourth downs. Does that mean Penn State coach Bill O’Brien will always opt for the field goal? Not necessarily. “I think he’s going to help our team more than he did last year,� O’Brien said. “Fourth down comes down to where it is on the field, how many yards you need for the first down, what the situation is in the game, and it just kind of happened to fall right last year where we had a lot of fourthand-threes, fourth-and-ones.� “I know there were a couple fourth-andlongs,� O’Brien said.“But most of them fall into that situation where it was better to go for it and get a touchdown out of that drive then to get a field goal.�

Taking the Next Step State High’s Stefan Horgas makes the most of his time with Team Pittsburgh By JOE SAGER For The Gazette

CORAOPOLIS — Stefan Horgas enjoyed a successful high school hockey career. The State College Area High School product had a chance to add to it last week for Team Pittsburgh at the USA Hockey America’s Showcase at the Robert Morris University Island Sports Center in suburban Pittsburgh. “It’s awesome. It’s an honor to be selected for this team,� he said. “There are a lot of great players here. I tried to enjoy it while I was there.� Team Pittsburgh finished pool play 3-0 at the prestigious event, which features 20 boys and six girls teams comprised of high school juniors and seniors from around the country, draws attention from a large number of college and junior hockey scouts. The squad beat Indiana, 5-0, in the semifinals, but lost to Illinois, 3-2, in the championship. Last year, Team Pittsburgh finished second as well. Horgas had an immediate impact for the Pittsburgh squad. He tied for the team scoring lead. He scored four goals and added two assists. He certainly impressed Team Pittsburgh coach Lou Biancaniello,

who coaches Washington & Jefferson College’s squad. “He’s been extremely good for us. He provides us a physical presence. He’s so skilled and big and strong. The things he can do are tremendous,� Biancaniello said. “We changed up our power play for him and some of our units because of what he can do. He is a net presence, but he has the skill and deftness to make guys miss and score those types of goals, too. I think he brings a really complete package.� Team Pittsburgh featured some of the PIHL’s best players. Horgas certainly ranks among them. He led PIHL Class AAA scorers with 77 points and 52 goals. However, the Little Lions fell short of a Penguins Cup championship as they lost in the semifinals to Peters Township, 3-0. “I have no regrets. We got farther than what anyone expected this year by making it to the Penguins Cup semifinals,� he said. “No one expected us to be there at the beginning of the season. I consider it a successful season even though it didn’t end the way we wanted.� Horgas hoped to win a national championship with the Mid-State Mustangs amateur team two weeks ago, too. The squad competed at the USA Hockey Tier II

Under-18 AAA championships in Hartford. The team lost in the semifinals. Two years ago, the Mustangs claimed an Under-16 national title. “We were a phenomenal group of kids. Most of us have played together since Mites. It was awesome. It was a great way to end my Mustangs career,� he said. “The Mustangs, as a program, have been real successful throughout the years.� He enjoyed the chance to take part in the America’s Showcase event as well. “It’s awesome. I didn’t really know what to expect coming into this,� he said. “Playing hockey with a bunch of kids who love to play hockey, how can you go wrong? I really didn’t know too many of the guys here personally before, but we’ve jelled quickly. We’re all hockey players. We have great chemistry on and off the ice. Depth is key. With as much talent as we have, it makes everyone’s job easier with having good players on all the lines. It’s only a good thing.� Horgas hopes to continue his hockey career next season. “I am going to try to play juniors next year and see where that goes, whether it’s college or another year of juniors after that,� he said. “I am keeping my options open.�

Late-inning Drama Goss’ three-run homer the difference in P-O’s 3-2 win over BEA By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

PHILIPSBURG — Philipsburg-Osceola softball coach Jim Gonder had a tough choice to make in Tuesday afternoon’s game against arch-rival Bald Eagle Area — follow the book or go for it. Trailing by two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning with runners on first and second and no outs, Gonder wanted to play it conservatively and bunt the runners over, hoping for a single to tie the game. His coaches, on the other hand, wanted to take a chance and let the hitter, senior rightfielder Aisha Goss, swing away. After a short conference in the infield, Gonder decided to go with his coaches’ plan. Good choice. Goss proceeded to hit a 1-2 pitch far over the left-center field wall for a threerun home run that ultimately stood up as the winning hit in the Lady Mounties’ exciting 3-2 victory over the Lady Eagles. “We were debating whether we were going to bunt the runners up,� Gonder said, “and I got outvoted. The staff outvoted me. “I just thought it would be prudent to bunt the runners up and have second and third with one out. But, I listened to the ad-

vice, and it paid off.� Goss’s homer kept the Mounties undefeated for the season — 5-0 — and pulled out a game that was increasingly looking like it would be a BEA victory. The Eagles pushed across single runs in the third and fourth innings, and pitcher Megan Dudish was floating along with a five-hit shutout into the sixth inning. With just six outs to go, Dudish walked Kate Burge to open the sixth inning. Abby Showers followed with a hard, line-drive single to left, and Burge stopped at second base to set up Gonder’s dilemma and Goss’s heroics. “I just knew I had to clutch up and get the team off its downfall,� Goss said. “I was a little nervous, and then I missed a sign, and thought I got to do something else. “I just wanted a base hit to get the runs around.� The homer ruined a good day for BEA. With Dudish pitching a solid game, the Eagles opened the scoring in the third inning after Mikayla Smith’s triple and an RBI single by Haley Geidroc that gave BEA a 1-0 lead. In the fourth, BEA extended its lead on a Logan Fischer single, a Mallory Bennett sacrifice bunt, and an error that put runners at the corners with one out.

Is your ďŹ nancial picture clear?

With Smith hitting, Makennah Dyke broke for second base, but catcher Carly Gonder’s throw went directly to pitcher Kate Burge, who had Fischer caught off third base. Her throw, however, was low to third baseman Halee Hayward and skipped away, allowing Fischer to score with BEA’s second run. Those two runs looked like they might stand up until Goss stepped to the plate. “They took advantage,� BEA coach Kayleen Sidisky said, “and we let a pitch hang. She’s (Goss) is a great hitter. No reason we can’t do that next time.� After Smith, who is a freshman, led off the seventh with a single, Burge was able to get the final three outs in succession as P-O clinched its fifth victory of the season. “Before that inning (sixth) started, we talked about rebounding,� Gonder said. “At some point in the season, you are going to have to come up with a win, and how are you going to do it? “But that team (BEA) played a great game.�

PSU women’s lacrosse knocks off Ohio State, 14-12 By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The four-corners offense might be a basketball tactic, but the No. 7 Penn State women’s lacrosse team, nonetheless, knows how to run it perfectly well. Locked in a tense, back-and-forth American Lacrosse Conference matchup with rival Ohio State on Sunday afternoon at the Penn State Lacrosse Complex, the Nittany Lions held on to the ball for more than seven minutes while nursing a razor-thin, one-goal lead late in the game against the Buckeyes. Finally, in typical four-corners fashion, Penn State suddenly attacked the net when freshman Jenna Mosketti slashed in front and scored, putting the Nittany Lions up by two goals with a little more than three minutes to play in the game. Penn State had to withstand three subsequent Ohio State rushes, but freshman goalie Emi Smith and the PSU defenders were up to the task, and the Nittany Lions held on for a 14-12 Senior Day victory and their sixth win without a loss at home in 2013. “We always know it’s going to be a battle with Ohio State,� Penn State coach Missy Doherty said. “We’re two young programs, and we knew coming in that we were going to be fighting for 60 minutes and that definitely was the case.� Things did not look good for the Lions early on. After

high-scoring sophomore Maggie McCormick gave PSU a 10 lead, Ohio State scored four of the next five goals to take a 4-2 lead with 13:46 left in the first half. Penn State battled back with two goals by McCormick to tie it at 4-4, and then the Nittany Lions went on to take its first two-goal lead, 8-6, with another McCormick goal with 2:24 left in the half. That lead was short-lived as the Buckeyes tied it with a goal by Katie Chase with 27 seconds left and then one by Kelsea Ayers less than a minute into the second half. “We just said that we had to pick it up (in the second half),� McCormick said. “We had to be more aggressive on those loose balls. They were outplaying us on the draws and loose balls, and that’s a really important thing throughout the game to be able to get that momentum. So we said that we have to be more aggressive.� That more aggressive play paid off. After Ayers goal, Penn State got goals in quick succession by freshman Madison Cyr and sophomore Kelly Lechner to take its second two-goal lead at 10-8. But Ohio State again came back to tie it with two goals by Mary Kate Facchina that made the score 10-10. From there the teams traded goals until, with 10:32 left in the game, McCormick put Penn State ahead 13-12. Time and again in this game, Ohio State would win the draw after a goal, but this time, Penn State came up with it. Moving down the field and setting up, the Nittany Lions were in no hurry to give the ball back to the OSU offense. “The way that lacrosse works,� McCormick said, “once

you get up, it gives you the opportunity to stall. That might change in the future, but right now it works to our advantage. “So if we are going to have a lead, we are going to do our best to take as much time off the clock as possible and it’s something that we’ve really improved on this year.� Penn State ran its stall to perfection. The Nittany Lions clicked off over seven minutes of clock time, waiting for the right opportunity. That opportunity came with 3:03 left in the game when Mosketti saw an opening, drove through the center of the OSU defense, and beat goalie Tori DeScenza with a goal that gave PSU its third and final two-goal margin, 14-12. “Any time we win a really hard-fought game against a rival like Ohio State,� McCormick said, “you are going to build up momentum, especially going into the post-season. “Ohio State is a great team, they are our rivals, and it’s Senior Day. If you throw all of that into the mix, it’s a great day. Everybody came out and played their best and it was a team win. Everybody should be proud of themselves.�

Penns Valley uses long ball to beat West Branch By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

MORRISDALE — The wind was blowing out at the West Branch baseball field on Monday afternoon when rival Penns Valley came to visit, and both teams took full advantage of it. Especially Penns Valley. The Rams smashed three long home runs in the early innings, built leads as big as seven runs, and then needed some clutch relief help to hold on for a wild 11-8 victory over the Warriors. Kevin Butts homered and knocked in four runs for the Rams, Wyatt Sharp homered and had three RBIs, and Colton Treaster hit a two-run home shot as the Rams built a seemingly safe 10-3 lead after the top of the fifth inning. West Branch was not finished, however, and put up five runs in its half of the fifth to make it a close game again at 10-8, but the Rams’ Sharp, in his first pitching appearance of the season, quieted the Warriors over the final 2 1/3 innings and PV escaped with the victory. “How many times have you seen when you get off to quick start, and then you fizzle offensively,� Penns Valley coach Chuck Romig said. “But we did enough to win. We got an insurance run there in the top of the seventh, which was good with two outs and nobody on pushed the insurance run across. There’s a lot of positives. When you score 11 runs there’s a lot of positives.� The Penns Valley offense started immediately in the game. With one out in the first, Taylor Collison doubled and he was followed by Sharp who hit a first-pitch home run far over the left-center field wall for a 2-0 Ram lead. In the second, PV added two more on two errors by the Warriors and an RBI single by Sharp that made the score 40. Zach McGonigal got one back for West Branch in the bottom of the second with an RBI single that scored Ty Thomas, but PV scored three more in the third on a RBI single by Butts and a two-run homer by Treaster. The Warriors scored two in their half of the third to make it 7-3, but PV struck with some two-out lightning in the fourth. With two outs, Max Bair singled, Luke Weaver walked, and then Butts followed with a three-run shot over

the center field wall. “I was just trying to get the guy in from second,� Butts said about his home run, “get that insurance run in. Not really trying to crush the ball, just get a hit, and it just happened. Never going to be mad if I hit one.� With the score now 10-3, West Branch seemed to be backed up to a wall. But the Warriors rallied in the fifth to climb to within two runs again. The inning was highlighted with RBI hits by Conor Myers and Vince McDowell and then a two-RBI double by McGonigal that made the score 10-8 and put West Branch squarely back into the contest. It was here that Sharp entered the game to pitch, and he more than did his job, holding the Warriors scoreless over the last two innings and, with that insurance run, preserving the 11-8 Ram win. “I was a little nervous,� Sharp said. “It was the first time that I pitched all year, and I just tried to throw strikes, and that’s what happened. “I just wanted to throw as hard as I can and get them off balance a little bit. Just throw strikes and get outs. That was

basically it.� With the win, Penns Valley moves to 3-1 for the season, but there are some tough games on the horizon in the coming weeks for the Rams. Before the end of the month, the Rams have home and away games with Bellefonte, a home date with Philipsburg-Osceola, and away games at Central and Huntingdon. Still, there is optimism among the Ram players. “Everyone hit well,� Sharp said. “Everyone scored runs. We hit a lot of fairly hard balls, so you have to be happy with it. “If we can stay focused and hit the ball like we did today, with not a lot of errors in the field, I think we should do fairly well.�

Penns Valley baseball squad looks for improvement By JOHN DIXON sports@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — A closer look at the 2013 Penns Valley High School baseball team: Coach — Chuck Romig, fourth season (12th overall). Assistant coaches: Mike Maxwell and Nigel Grandy. 2012 record — 4-14. Returning letter winners — Cody Luse, Logan Coursen, Max Bair, Dakota Schrenkel, Cameron Tobias, Luke Weaver and Taylor Collison. Key losses — Dakota Butler, Nigel Grandy, Caleb Luse and Sam Snyder. Key strengths — Pitching depth, experience at most positions. Concerns — According to Romig, the offense is the biggest concern. “If we can get consistent offensively we’ll win a lot of games,” he said. Outlook — With the team coming off a 14-loss campaign, Romig is hopeful the Rams will get things turned around in 2013.

“In terms of ability, we’ll win our fair share of games. If the kids are resilient after a slow start or humble after a fast start we can be one of the better PV baseball teams in recent memory. Mentally we’ll need to be tough because of the league we’re and physically we’ll have to let our innate ability take over,” he said. “If we can be mentally tough and physically relaxed and natural this team can win on a consistent basis. But it will not just happen. We have to improve from where we are now. If we get knocked down we must be stubborn, get back up and get right after it again, and I think we have the guys to do that.” Early season — Like most Centre County schools, the snow and frigid temperatures have delayed the start of the squad’s season. Circle these dates — vs. Philipsburg-Osceola (April 19); vs. Bellefonte (April 22); at Central (April 25); at Huntingdon (April 30); at Bald Eagle Area (May 3).

Mountain View Country Club holds grand re-opening By JOHN DIXON For The Gazette

BOALSBURG — It’s been one year since the former State College Elks Country Club became the Mountain View Country Club. The event was marked with a grand reopening hosted by owners Martha and Charles McIntyre of Bethlehem. More than 300 people, including club members and the general public, were on hand for the celebration held by the McIntyre’s, owners of Brymac Inc., which owns and operates the Ramada Inn in State College and other various locations throughout Pennsylvania. “The opportunity arose with the sale of the Elks C.C. and this came to our attention last January 2012,” explained Charles McIntyre of the purchase of the country club. “It just seemed like an opportunity and there is some synergy between the Ramada Hotel and the golf course because a lot of the folks that will stay in the hotel would be interested in playing golf and so we are going to put some packages together just for golf. That wasn’t the primary reason, we thought we could turn this (situation) around the country club and not so much make a lot of money here. “We aren’t expecting this to be cashcow country clubs,” stated McIntyre. “Country clubs in 2013 aren’t considered to be lucrative business ventures but we do think we will certainly make a reasonable profit and be able to put money back in to this course and this facility and make it that much better and thus build on it. “That’s been our mantra that we always try and invest back into the business that we get into what ever they are — restaurants, hotels or whatever — and that concept usually works out,” McIntyre said. While the name has changed and the

country club is now open to the general public, the State College Elks organization will still call the facility home. “We have a contract with the Elks organization that we will provide them with a golfing experience of a country club for 15 years and at this point it’s now 14 years but as far as we are concerned it could be 44 years because we intended to keep this as a country club and we welcome the Elks organization and we welcome the public,” explained McIntyre. “Public members that are outside the Elks organization will be able to play the course but we are trying to move in the direction of becoming more of a private club of members only. “But at this point we are a mixture of being a semi-private club with the Elks as the stabilizing factor in terms of membership but we do have a number of people who are not Elks members who have purchased club memberships already. So we have a number of that entity as well,” added McIntyre. Will the financial obligations of the State College Elks organization, funds generated by the general public, enable the Elks to find financial stability? “We need a revenue stream from public play due mainly at this point that we don’t have enough members to maintain the financial stability of the club,” stated McIntyre. “We aren’t that far from having that kind of stability and in addition to the golfing, there is a restaurant, a bar, theirs social catering, theirs weddings, theirs parties, theirs reunions. There are all sorts of avenues for generating revenue in the clubhouse and that’s one of the reasons for the renovation of the club. The renovations have completely altered the look of the previous clubhouse

Mountain View, from page 29 with the McIntyre’s already investing more than $1 million dollars into the entity. “We purchased the property (April 16, 2012) and started right away to make renovations and have been very busy doing everything,� explained McIntyre. “New restrooms, new entrance, new windows, new tile flooring for the patio, handicap restroom, new kitchen with new equipment, new tile flooring in various areas of the club. “And that does not include all the work we have done on the golf course and what we plan to complete this year,� added McIntyre. “It’s a whole new look at what we feel will be one of the best country clubs in

APRIL 18-24, 2013 there is also a lounge, The 19th Hole, which is open seven days a week and features a daily happy hour.� What’s Mountain View’s future? “We would want to move in the direction that we would be a private country club,� stated McIntyre. “Do I think that’s going to happen in 2013? No. Next year? Probably not. But that would be our intention that we want to move in that direction because it’s easier in a lot of ways and beneficial to the members who are having a semi-private club like this to the concern of over-play on the golf course. Keeping golf affordable is also a priority, and we offer many different membership levels as well as weekday specials and twilight rates.�

“The restaurants will be open to the public with several different venues planned for this facility,� explained McIntyre. “The social catering within the clubhouse, weddings that are available to the public, reunions, parties, they are welcomed at any of the restaurants. There will be an Italian themed restaurant; the bar would be open to the public, which we were not able to do prior to having a liquor license. “There is also an on-site restaurant, The View, named after its location looking out to Mount Nittany and Tussey Mountain, and offers outdoor dining,� explained McIntyre. “And within the next couple of months we will be including a new Italianinspired menu for the restaurant. And

the area and has a landscaping view that no other country club has. We also plan an expansion of the pro shop and add 20 new golf carts with a goal of 60 news ones within the next three years. The synergy is very good and we are putting together golf packages for folks that are staying at the Ramada Inn and who want to play golf and will have a golf outing to go with their hotel stay.� When the facility was the State College Elks C.C., it was not open to the general public. At least for the foreseeable future, Mountain View C.C. will be accessible for play by all. And once the restaurants are open all will be available to the general public.
