Cernuska finalist for teacher of year By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — When Bellefonte Area Middle School emotional support instructor Erin Cernuska found out she had been selected as a finalist for Pennsylvania’s 2014 Teacher of the Year, she experienced a wide range of emotions. She was shocked, surprised, honored and humbled all at the same time. “I had been keeping my eye on the timeline for when those announcements were going to be made. I knew that I had been nominated for the Bellefonte district quite a few months ago,” Cernuska said. “I knew the day it was supposed to come out (April 29), but it came out the very next day. I was very excited. I’m really looking forward to the next step

in the process.” Cernuska, 29, is one of 12 educators who has been selected as a finalist. The other finalists are: Daryl Ballerina, Big Spring School District, Cumberland County; Amy Alleman Burke, Cumberland Valley School District, Cumberland County; Linda Coll, Northern Lebanon School District, Lebanon County; Tracey Fritch, Rose Tree Media School District, Delaware County; Carol Aten Frow, Belle Vernon Area School District, Westmoreland County; Lori Gallagher, Hatboro-Horsham School District, Montgomery County; Anthony Grisillo, Rose Tree Media School District, Delaware County; Nicola Hipkins, Bethel Park School District, Allegheny County; Jen Klobucar, Yough School District, Westmoreland County; Nicole Miletto, Hatboro-Horsham School District,

Montgomery County; and Kyle Norman, Brockway Area School District, Jefferson County. The finalists were nominated by students, parents, colleagues and members of the community who want to recognize their achievements both in and outside the classroom. Cernuska was nominated by BAMS principal Karen Krisch. “I’ve been here for 13 years and we’ve never nominated anyone and we’ve got some superstars,” Krisch said. “Mrs. Cernuska is a super, super star. She’s very calm, very patient and very dedicated. She’s always willing to go the extra mile for her students.” Cernuska has been teaching for nearly eight years. “I started my teaching career very young. I was 21 when I started teaching … to be among this group of finalists is so amazing to

me because I know there are so many dedicated professionals, not just in my school, but in the state. I’m very proud to be among the group,” Cernuska said. Cernuska realizes how important her role at the middle school is. Her love of teaching has motivated her every single day. “I feel like you can get so much out of teaching. The basic needs of love and belonging, freedom and power, it can all come from teaching. You make such special connections with students and can make such a huge difference in their lives. To inspire them and see them grow is just fantastic. You’re giving them power, you’re giving them knowledge. All the pieces you put into your instruction, they’re going to use that later on in life.

Centre Gives takes charity effort online By SAMI HULINGS shulings@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — For 36 hours on May 22 and 23, those who care about the future of Centre County and its nonprofit organizations can participate in a unique online-only giving event known as Centre Gives. The event, now in its second year, was created by Centre Foundation, a public charity providing support to community charities through invested gifts made by donors, as a way to bring the community and local nonprofits closer together through virtual giving. “It fits into the part of our mis-

sion of engaging and inspiring residents to work with and support local nonprofits,” said Molly Kunkel, deputy director of Centre Foundation. “It helps bring a lot of donors and community members together that might not be involved in other ways. This is a way we can engage the whole community and work with the organizations that serve them.” Kunkel said the idea for Centre Gives came to her after hearing about similar events held by other organizations throughout the country. The success of those events made Kunkle, her coworkers and Centre Foundation

Fraser Centre construction could begin in November By LAURA NICHOLS StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — Construction on the long-awaited Fraser Centre could begin as soon as November and a national hotel chain has been added to the project. That’s what Jack Kay, president and CEO of Susquehanna Real Estate, told the State College Borough Council at a Monday night work session. Once work begins the Fraser Centre would be completed within 22 months. Kay, the developer, said financing for the Fraser Centre has been secured and all that’s left is to win approval from borough council. On May 20, Kay will request zoning modifications, which will allow the project to move forward. The project has been on hold for years. Penn State pulled its commitment to become a tenant more than a year ago, which caused additional delays. The original concept included a movie theater which was cancelled. Kay said he could not reveal the name of the hotel or any of the retailers who have signed on. The change of plans require some alterations to the project: ■Creating a driveway entry for hotel guests and condominiums owners from Beaver Avenue. ■Adding 10 feet of height to a new proposed limit of 155 feet and eliminating the restriction on the number of floors within that limit. ■Allowing limited parking to serve the major commercial use within the building’s garage. ■Removing the borough’s right to re-purchase the site. In December 2011, Susquehanna Real Estate paid its remaining balance of $1.8 million to the borough, which paid in full the $3.275 million cost of the land on the corner of Fraser Street and Beaver Avenue. Kay said the condominiums will not be marketed or sold as student housing and the developers plan to provide on-site parking for residents. Ideally, ground will be broken before it gets too cold in the fall, Gary Brandeis of Real Estate Capital Management LLC and an equity partner in the project said. The 250,000-square-foot project will also include commercial offices and underground parking, Kay said, adding that he believes the design changes will “help accomplish the objectives set for the project in the first place.�

Teacher, from page 1 just love it,â€? Cernuska said. Being an emotional support instructor certainly presents its share of challenges, Cernuska said. “I believe that it does make my job very different, not only in daily routines, but in the group of students that I work with. My job is emotional and autistic support, so I’m focusing on emotional or behavioral needs that students have rather than academics, although they definitely connect,â€? she said. Ultimately, Cernuska needs to connect with her students to make progress. Working in emotional support is different than being an English, science or mathematics teacher. A strong bond between teacher and student is necessary if the student is going to succeed. “You have to be able to form relationships with students. Undoubtedly, that is the number one most important thing. They need to trust in you, be willing to come to you with their problems. In middle school, those social problems just explode,â€? Cernuska said. Cernuska teaches a wide range of students. Students in the life skills classroom, for example, aren’t able to take regular classes. However, Cernuska pointed out that they still have social needs that need to be met. She also teaches students who function extremely well academically and are able to take advanced courses. “I have to be able to work with both of those types of students, both of those types of learners, to be able to help them integrate and use the social skills that I teach them in the general ed classroom,â€? Cernuska said. With a wide range of challenges facing her every day, Cernuska has to be able to multi-task. She may have to make adjustments in the middle of class. While those challenges may frazzle some, Cernuska is able to keep it together. According to Krisch, it’s impressive to see. “I’ve watched her. It’s like a three-ring circus in there,â€? Krisch joked. “She will have one group doing one task, another group working on another. ‌ It’s impressive to watch. She doesn’t get rattled, she just rolls with the punches.â€?

Your graduate will love these rocks in her head

In addition to her role as an emotional support instructor, she is also certified in mathematics. She teaches in the alternative education program at the middle school. While Cernuska is one of the finalists for Teacher of the Year, her work is not done. She has to record a lesson and a speech. Those will be submitted for review. Regional winners will be selected as the field is trimmed to four candidates for the award. Regional winners will be announced in July. The Pennsylvania Teacher of the Year will be announced in late August or early September. “It’s a challenge,� Cernuska said. “It’s very motivating. I’m just really happy to be able to represent my family, to represent the district. It’s very exciting.� Cernuska doesn’t know if she will be one of the four finalists, but she’s just happy she’s gotten this far in the process. There have been many challenges along the way, but Cernuska is hopeful that her message will be heard outside the walls of the middle school. “I just think it’s so important for people in any profession to remember to be flexible and have a positive attitude,� she said. “Changes happen and challenges come around. You have to be persistent and positive. That’s what helps build our community.�

Agriculture, from page 1 and opportunities to order products throughout the year as they become available. “Customers can also sign up for any combination of the shares we offer,� Hanssen said, such as produce, eggs, dairy, bread and herbs. “(They) receive them on a weekly basis throughout the growing season. In addition, CSA members and others on our mailing list receive regular emails about other products that are available for order on a certain day.� These extra products, Hanssen said, include berries, meats, canned goods, mushrooms, baked goods, whole grain flour and other items. Members’ shares and other products are delivered to their homes or offices on a weekly basis, he said. Those who live and work outside the delivery area have the option of several pickup locations for share boxes. “Our main growing season runs from the beginning of June to the end of October,� Hanssen said. “We also have share options available during the winter, including dairy products, eggs, bread, soups and seasonal produce.� In its ninth year, GroundWork Farms was created with the goal of making it as convenient as possible for customers to get their foods from local farmers, he said, and to provide farmers with a reliable market for their products. Community Supported Agriculture provides a considerable advantage to the community in a lot of different areas, Hanssen said. “CSAs offer a system that is good for eaters and also good for farmers,� Hanssen said. “Farmers really appreciate having a reliable outlet for their products throughout the season, and also the benefit of receiving an upfront payment during the time of year when their expenses are highest for items like seeds and other farm inputs.� Additionally, CSA members themselves reap many benefits, Hanssen said. Besides a guaranteed source of local products throughout the year, members benefit from a connection to their farmers, he said, which offers them insight into the methods used to produce their foods. “CSA members can choose farms that use organic methods, that refrain from the use of antibodies and hormones for their livestock and that treat their animals humanely, and they can visit those farms and meet the folks who are raising their foods,� he said. “CSAs also offer the opportunity for seasonal eating, and a connection to the local ecology that is missing from the grocery store aisles.� GroundWork Farms itself uses organic methods to raise produce and other products, Hanssen said. Refraining from using synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides improves the health of soils and protects air and water from runoff and airborne pollutants, he said. “Organic family farms can provide a habitat for wildlife as well, through buffer strips, cover crops, plantings that attract pollinators and other beneficial birds and insects, and polyculture cropping,� Hanssen said. “GroundWork’s livestock growers are raising their pigs, cows and poultry on pasture rather than in confinement, which is healthier for the animals and also eliminates the air and water quality problems that arise from systems where animals are confined.�

Besides organic farming, CSAs may also play a role in reducing fossil fuel and emissions use, he said, which is important to the environment. “Our (GroundWork Farms) farms are located within 30 miles of our customers,â€? Hanssen said. “Most foods available in the grocery store have traveled, on average, over 1,500 miles to reach our plates.â€? Hanssen said eating locally through CSAs creates relationships and opportunities for growth and education. “Local farms and businesses provide a channel for investing in our community,â€? he said. “The more channels that are available, the healthier our community becomes. Local dollars multiply, when they stay in our community rather than traveling out of state. (Community Supported Agriculture) membership allows you to connect to the people growing your food, to connect to other local eaters, to visit farms and to learn to cook new foods. It enriches our present and helps us prepare for the future.â€? Dave Eckert, who owns and operates Healthy Harvest Farm with his wife, Sandy, said his Bellefonte CSA prides itself on allowing its members to pick and choose the produce they want. And part of what makes the business unique is that it emerged through a partnership with Musser Farm, located right next door. “The CSA is located on Musser Lane ‌ right next to the Musser Farm Market. We started up the business in 2012, and we lease our land from the Musser family,â€? he said. “After working and managing various other vegetable farms, we were at a point where we decided that we either needed to start up our own business or change careers.â€? Eckert said the Musser family was willing to lease them 15 acres, which really enabled him and Sandy to start up the business. “We are very grateful to them,â€? he said. Healthy Harvest Farm offers fresh produce throughout the year. Share is not pre-boxed, Eckert said; instead the distribution is set up like a farmers’ market or produce aisle of a grocery store. “Our members get to pick and choose the produce that they would like to take home with them,â€? he said. “If there are some vegetables that they don’t like, they can simply pass them up and take more of the vegetables they do like. We feel that our members really like that feature because it cuts down on food wasting away in the fridge and makes it a better value for their money.â€? Additionally, members have access to local meat from

LOCAL COMMUNITY Supported Agriculture, or CSAs, provide a variety of benefits to the economy, the environment and the community, according to area farmers. Over the Moon farm at Healthy Harvest’s Thursday pickup in State College, Eckert said. And at the Tuesday Bellefonte pickup at the Musser Farm Market, members get the vegetables Healthy Harvest grows for them, and also have access to whatever Musser happens to be selling, he said. “(Musser Farm Market) is a great source for local food,� Eckert said. “They have grass fed beef that is raised on the Musser Farm, they have local milk, eggs, honey, crafts from local artisans, and homemade Greek-style yogurt that is out of this world. It really is a one-stop shopping trip for all things local, right here in Bellefonte.� Healthy Harvest pickup is from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Tuesdays at the Musser Farm Market in Bellefonte; and from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Thursdays at the Unitarian Fellowship in State College. Summer/fall share starts the first week of June and ends the week before Thanksgiving, and the winter/spring share begins the first week of December and ends the last week of May.

Centre Gives, from page 1 board members sure that holding a local online giving opportunity would bring positive connections between donors and organizations in the Centre County community. During this year’s 36 hour fundraising event, 82 local non-profit organizations work to raise money for themselves. In addition to the money raised by each charity, Centre Foundations provides a pro-rated matching fund of $100,000. Each organization will receive a percentage of the $100,000 based on the amount of money it raised. By donating $100,000 to the community, Centre Foundation is able to give the largest amount of money from a single grant to the community at one time. Centre Foundation Executive Director Al Jones said he was incredibly delighted with last’s outcome, as the inaugural Centre Gives event raised more than $500,000 for local charities and non-profit organizations. “One way to look at this is we were able to have our $100,000 grant leveraged four times,� he said. “With our $100,000 grant and what the charitable organizations did themselves, $500,000 went into the charitable community in a couple of days.� Both Jones and Kunkel said they hope the same happens this year, as the organizations are responsible for raising their own funding. “(The organizations) raise the money themselves and we add to what they have done. The ones who will get the most money are the ones who have the most successful fundraising efforts on their own behalf,� Jones said. “We will add to what they were able to raise for themselves.� Throughout the weekend, donors will be able to visit centregives.org to donate to various organizations. As the website is live, the monetary amount each organization has received will be consistently updated. In addition to funds raised, organizations can receive bonus grant money, as prizes are awarded for various kinds of donations. Kunkel said watching the constant update in funds raised is one of the most exciting parts of the event. “The website is live and the number of gifts and the amount of money being raised is posted live all the time. You can watch gifts coming in and can see which organizations have the most donors. It’s exciting.� She added that all those involved with Centre Gives not only see the event as exciting, but also as a fun event center around helping the community. “We knew the project would be really inspiring and would be great for raising money, but I think what sur-

We’re really all looking forward to doing it again,� she said. Both Kunkel and Jones said it is rewarding and fulfilling to be a part of such an inspiring event, with inspiring people. “I think there are a lot of people in this area who really love their community and really look forward to helping. It’s really inspiring to be able to work with folks and help with that,� Kunkle said. Jones agreed saying it was terrific to be a part of something that will provide support to the improvement of lives in Centre County for years to come, as fundraising is cru-

cial for charities to continue. “Fundraising is critical to the on-going success of charitable organizations. As you can become better at it, your sustainability is lengthened,� he said. “The organizations that are doing this good work will be able to do it with more resources. Eighty-four organizations, in one way or another, are benefiting the quality of life for everybody in Centre County.� To learn more about Centre Foundation, please visit centre-foundation.org.

Benghazi debate continues to rage A GOP-led probe into last fall’s deadly attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, produced testimony last week from diplomats who said that a request for Special Forces assistance in repelling the attack had been denied twice. Republicans have suggested President Barack Obama and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should’ve done a better job providing security at the consulate, and may have even covered up elements of the attack in the aftermath. Radio host Mike Huckabee this week even predicted the president would soon face impeachment over the matter. What happened in Benghazi? Why does it matter? Scripps-Howard columnists Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk debate the issue.

JOEL MATHIS

Can Congress avoid messing up recovery? The consensus has been that the economy will continue to recover slowly but steadily unless Congress does something stupid, always a possibility, to mess it up. But surveys of economists by The Wall Street Journal and USA Today indicate that the recovery is strong enough to withstand even Congress. And the possibility of an unexpected blow coming from out of left field, say a major depression in China or the European Union, seems to be steadily receding. USA Today concluded, “Political paralysis in Washington won’t stall an economic recovery that’s revving up across the rest of the country.” The Wall Street Journal was slightly more restrained: “After four years of crises, foreign and domestic, that threatened to plunge the U.S. economy back into recession, the road ahead Dale McFeatters is a at last looks comparatively free of columnist for roadblocks.” Scripps-Howard Both surveys see the economy pickNews Service. ing up by the end of the year, slowed but not stunted by the sequester. USA Today’s forecasters predicted the recovery “will accelerate late this year even without a deal by Congress and the White House to lessen the impact of automatic federal budget cuts.” Economically, the year started strong but growth slowed to a current rate of around 2 percent. However, the Journal’s panel expects the GDP to expand 2.4 percent for the year. USA Today sees two quarters of 2 percent growth but a strong pickup in the fourth quarter and approach 3 percent by early next year. The year began with a healthy first quarter average monthly job growth of 206,000 jobs but that will tail off to 165,000 in this quarter and 172,000 in the next but pick up in the fourth quarter and average 200,000 jobs monthly next year. The Journal was less optimistic, its economists foreseeing average monthly job growth averaging of just under 180,000 for the next 12 months. At that rate, it will take until mid-2014 to restore the number of jobs the country had at the outset of the recession. But all good economic news comes with a downer: The Brookings Institution says that, adjusted for population growth, it will take nine more years to return to the prerecession level of employment. Nine years of self-restraint is asking a lot from Congress. Maybe too much.

DALE McFEATTERS

Unless labeled as a Gazette editorial, all views on the Opinion page are those of the authors.

Try as I might, I’m really having a hard time trying to stay worked up about Benghazi months and months after the attack took place. Forgive the insensitivity. The deaths of the diplomats and security personnel who died serving America are surely a tragedy, both for their families and the broader diplomatic community. The attack itself was an act of terrorism; the perpetrators should be hunted down, captured, tried, and dealt with accordingly. Were mistakes made? As in all human endeavors, the answer is almost certainly yes. We should figure out what they were and fix them. But is this is a scandal with a capital “S”? The way Republicans really, really want it to be? Based on the evidence so far: no. Instead, it appears to these liberal eyes that Sens. Lindsey Graham and John McCain — Republicans who never met a war they couldn’t support — greatly desire to make Obama appear to be a wimpy, ineffective commander-in-chief. They’ve been the prime drivers, in public at least, to keep the Benghazi “scandal” alive. Remember: These are the guys who want the president to take us to war in Syria. They’re the guys who want the president to take us to war in Iran. And they disdained President Obama’s policy in Libya as being insufficient — even though it produced the outcome, Qaddafi’s ouster, that they desired. “It’s, I think, a foreign policy gone wrong here,” Graham said on TV this week. “Syria, Libya, Egypt, I think the greater story is that the light footprint approach to the Mideast in a time of turmoil is not working.” So, really, for many Republicans, the underlying scandal is that Obama isn’t sending hundreds of thousands of American troops to dictate American preferences in a region far from our own. That’s probably a scandal that most Americans can live with.

BEN BOYCHUK Here is why Benghazi matters: For the first time since 1979, an American ambassador was murdered on the job. Yet six months on, all White House spokesman Jay Carney can say is that “happened a long time ago.” It took days for the Obama administration to get its story straight last September. And when White House officials finally settled on a narrative, they first blamed an obscure Internet video for inciting the violence that took the lives of Ambassador Christopher Stevens, former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, and information officer Sean Smith. It matters because the administration thought it more

important to save the president’s political hide in a tight reelection contest than to tell the truth and expose his weakness. So former U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice went on all five Sunday TV talk shows to not only peddle the lame video story, but to downplay the terrorism angle. It matters because one of the key decision makers is a frontrunner to succeed Obama in 2017. Greg Hicks, the former deputy chief of mission in Libya, told the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday he briefed Clinton on the attacks as they were under way. When Clinton testified on Benghazi in January, she said: “Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night and decided they’d go kill some Americans. What difference — at this point, what difference does it make?” At this point, it matters all the more because Hicks also told the House committee that the State Department has been discouraging whistleblowers from telling their stories. If there is really nothing to see here, why is the administration impeding witnesses and withholding information? When the Obama administration decided to aid Libyan rebels and depose Moammar Gadhafi two years ago, they called it “leading from behind.” With all of their spin and dissembling over the Benghazi attacks, it’s hard to see any leadership at all.

HEALTH & WELLNESS Volunteers recognized at Mount Nittany Health From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — Recent events have shaken our world, but that doesn’t change an important fact: One person can make a difference. This was the theme of this year’s recognition dinner for Mount Nittany Health’s Volunteer Resources Department. The dinner honored over 811 volunteers who had collectively contributed 67,549 hours. “Each person makes a unique contribution at the medical center, whether it is through making craft projects, or preparing mailings, or by providing direct patient assistance and care. We value each and every hour of service,� said Vickie Morgan, director of volunteer resources. Honoring the Volunteer of the Year — nominations for which are submitted at the departmen-

tal level throughout the Medical Center — was a highlight of the evening. Lowie Kerns, of State College, was recognized for her 4,650 hours of service. She began volunteering in 2001, starting in the surgical waiting room, and has been volunteering in the ultrasound waiting room most recently. “Lowie gets along with everyone, is kind to everyone she interacts with, and effortlessly makes people’s lives more comfortable and their day better because of her sincere and friendly demeanor,� said Morgan. “I truly look forward to coming to the hospital every week where I have met so many wonderful people. I love to help people,� said Kerns. Additionally, Teen Volunteer Scholarships were awarded to

high school students who have volunteered at Mount Nittany Medical Center and exhibited a desire to become doctors, nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists or physical therapists, or to serve in other medical professions. Saad Ahmad, with 204 hours to date, started volunteering in 2010. He will major in biochemistry and molecular biology at Penn State. Asked what he learned from his volunteer experience, Ahmad said, “The biggest things I have learned are discipline, respect, and to remember that we are all one human race, and we should respect each other’s values to progress in the world.� Nikhil Ananth, with 403 hours to date, volunteers in the emergency department and on patient floors. He will be studying at the Uni-

Neuropathy Support Group to meet From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — The monthly meeting of the Neuropathy Support Group of Central PA will be held at 2 p.m. on May 26 in conference room No. 3 of the Mount Nittany Medical Center. Anyone who suffers from the nerve disorder neuropathy or who knows someone who suffers from the disorder is welcome

versity of Pennsylvania to earn a dual degree in biology and economics. In addition, Ananth, an Eagle Scout, recently completed a concrete paver walkway project in Homestead Park. “Volunteering at Mount Nittany Medical Center has provided me with countless experiences that a textbook could not possibly teach me,� said Elizabeth Ishler, with 290 hours to date on patient floors. She plans to become a physician assistant in oncology. Akhil Upneja, with 200 hours to date, plans to attend Yale University and study bioengineering. Upneja also has the distinction of ranking first in his class of 600 at State College Area High School. His time as a volunteer was spent on patient floors. Mei Yang, with 282 hours to date, volunteers in the gift shop.

She will attend Cornell University and major in biomedical engineering. In addition to her work at Mount Nittany Medical Center, Yang has volunteered at the Hearthside Rehabilitation and Nursing Center. “While the recognition dinner is our big annual event, we also try hard to recognize our volunteers on an ongoing basis in thoughtful ways throughout the year – for instance with e-birthday cards, special messages of thanks on their computers, and so on,� Morgan said. “Every single act of volunteerism is important, and we would not be able to accomplish the wonderful things we do here without the generous spirit of each and every person who contributes time and effort to making Mount Nittany Health the best it can be.�

Sonographers’ Symposium held at South Hills School From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — The lecture halls at South Hills School of Business and Technology were alive with energy on April 27 as sonographers from across the region converged in State College for the school’s second annual Sonographers’ Symposium. The event was organized by the Diagnostic Medical Sonography Department. South Hills brought in internationally respected sonography professionals and physicians from Hershey Medical Center and GE Healthcare to speak to the 120 ultrasound clinicians in attendance. They presented a variety of topics, including abdominal, musculoskeletal, cardiac and

vascular sonography, as well as emerging technologies in the field. Sonography is a diagnostic medical imaging modality that uses high frequency sound waves to produce visual images of organs, tissue or blood flow inside the body, without the use of ionizing radiation. Constant advancements in the science and equipment used in ultrasound technology make ongoing education a necessity for the sonographer. The guest speaker was Dr. Robert Atnip, professor of surgery and radiology at Penn State Hershey Medical Center. “For the second consecutive year, South Hills School of Business and Technology has organized and hosted a pre-

mier symposium on vascular noninvasive ultrasound right here in State College,� Atnip said. “This was a very impressive event, with a faculty that included nationally known physicians and sonographers, and top industry representatives, presenting news and advice that is applicable to everyday patient care. My highest commendations to the staff and students at South Hills.� One session at the symposium was dedicated to the health and well-being of the sonographer. A “Stay Strong! Smart Ergonomics� class provided pro-active measures that can be taken by sonographers to reduce their risk of occupational injury. A conference highlight was when the participants had to perform some exercises that can be practiced at home or in their place of employment. Adam Wood, ultrasound student at South Hills and participant in the symposium, commented that he was fascinated by the vast array of informative and helpful presentations. “I was especially interested in the image optimization class, because that is what we need to know more about as we’re learning to administer scans,� Wood said. “It was a privilege to be taught by so many leaders in the industry.� Business representatives from GE, Phillips and Sound Technology were also present to exhibit their sonography equipment. They were impressed with the attendance, and had the opportunity to connect with many of their clients. South Hills School of Business and Technology is one of only a few schools that is accredited in three specialized areas of training: cardiac, general and vascular ultrasound.

Spinal cord injury specialist joins Hershey Medical Center From Gazette staff reports HERSHEY — Dr. David R. Gater Jr. has been appointed the inaugural Rocco Ortenzio Chair of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and Penn State College of Medicine, effective Aug. 1. Gater joins Penn State Hershey from Virginia Commonwealth University, in Richmond, Va., where he is professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation and director of the Spinal Cord Injury Fellowship Program.

Prior to joining Virginia Commonwealth University in 2006, Gater held faculty appointments at the University of Kentucky and the University of Michigan, along with clinical appointments at their associated hospitals. The chair position is supported by an endowment established by the Rocco and Nancy Ortenzio Foundation. “Enhancing and restoring functional ability for others has been a life-long passion of mine,� said Rocco A. Ortenzio, co-founder of Select Medical and a physical therapist by training. “Filling a chair devoted to physical medicine and rehabilitation with someone of Dr. Gater’s stature culminates more than 50 years of the work that I love. In that time my family became very proud of what Penn State Hershey has come to mean to the biomedical sciences. We are truly honored to partner with Penn State Hershey to bring Dr. Gater to central Pennsylvania.� “The recruitment of Dr. Gater to this endowed chair illustrates the power of philanthropy to advance our mission,� said Dr. Harold L. Paz, CEO of Penn State Hershey Medical Center and Health System, Penn State’s senior vice president for health affairs, and dean, Penn State College of Medicine. “Dr. Gater brings to Penn State Hershey tremendous expertise as a researcher, clinician and educator, and he will be in a position to lead his department to national prominence.

His research has been supported by numerous funding sources including NIH and the Department of Veterans Affairs. He also has received numerous teaching awards and has mentored dozens of undergraduate, medical and graduate students, residents, post-doctoral fellows, and junior faculty. Gater will be the first permanent chair of Penn State Hershey’s newest department. He will succeed Dr. Brenda Mallory, who has served as interim chair of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation since the department’s formation in 2010. As part of his clinical responsibilities, Gater will oversee the clinical programs at Penn State Hershey Rehabilitation Hospital, which is starting construction on an expansion to nearly double the hospital’s size and add specialized rehabilitation services that are in demand in the region. Mallory will remain in her role as medical director at the Rehabilitation Hospital. Founded in 1963 through a gift from The Milton S. Hershey Foundation, Penn State Milton S.

Mid-State Literacy Council donates books to BEA From Gazette staff reports PORT MATILDA — The MidState Literacy Council recently donated over 1,000 books from local Lutheran churches to the Bald Eagle Area School District with the intent of ensuring elementary school students have books to read over the summer. Mid-State Literacy Council Executive Director Amy Wilson said that the planning for the 1,004book-donation began last September when Wilson spoke on the importance of literacy and literacy education at an annual Lutheran’s women conference at Grace Lutheran Church in State College. The focus of the event was on literacy as a need, not specifically on a book drive, Wilson said. However, several of the churches in attendance — including Grace Lutheran, Zion Lutheran of Boalsburg, and St. Paul’s Lutheran of Pine Grove Mills — responded by holding book drives to donate to the literacy counci. Sharon Bittel, an elementary librarian for the Bald Eagle school district, said that this donation marks the second year in a row where a donation from the literacy council has allowed them to ensure their elementary school students have reading materials over the summer months.

Bittel said that she was contacted last year by a Mid-State Literacy Council board member with a “treasure trove” of books in storage, looking to find them a home. “This year, when I heard that they had more I was absolutely ecstatic,” Bittel said. She said that to be able to give students books to take home with them is important because many students in the school district may not have access to books at home or a library. “Some of our kids live 15 to 20 miles away from the closest library,” Bittel said. “People forget just how rural our school district is.” Luke Wilson, a fifth grader at Port Matilda Elementary, said that he thinks giving students books to read over the summer is wise because many students might not read at all while school isn’t in session. “I’m excited to get a chance to read some of these,” Luke said. Wilson said that she and Bittel have also discussed meeting over the summer to discuss what could be done to help students of other grade levels, including preschool. “We’re planning to continue collaborating to ensure that all children have literacy skills,” Wilson said.

UNIVERSITY PARK — For those interested in understanding human behavior, in learning how people relate to one another and about how to make a difference in their lives, Penn State’s new online bachelor of science in human development and family studies offers an excellent opportunity to prepare for a variety of rewarding careers. Offered by the Department of Human Development and Family Studies in the College of Health and Human Development, the HDFS program is delivered online through the World Campus. The HDFS bachelor of science degree prepares students to work in human services with many different types of people — from infants to the elderly — and in a variety of settings, from public and nonprofit agencies to business and government. The degree also prepares students to develop new ways to prevent and treat social and mental health problems and to become advocates for new social programs and policies. Graduates of the program work in a variety of professional fields, including counseling, social work, education, policy advocacy, nonprofit administration, human resources, law and government, health care services and administration, and research. The HDFS major also is excellent preparation for graduate school for advanced training in these fields. “The human development and family studies degree offers tremendous flexibility for people working in human services who want to advance their career and for people who want to enter this growing field,” said Eva S. Lefkowitz, associate professor of human development and profes-

sor in charge of the Human Development and Family Studies undergraduate program. “The degree provides broad knowledge and skills about different populations from birth to old age that can be applied in many types of human services.” The Department of Human Development and Family Studies is a recognized provider of HDFS programs. Its highly rated bachelor’s degree is designed for adults and provides the flexibility to learn when and where it is convenient. The College of Health and Human Development also offers the associate in science in human development and family studies and two certificate programs online through the World Campus: Children, youth and family services and adult development and aging services. Credits earned in these programs can be applied toward the bachelor’s degree. The HDFS bachelor’s degree focuses on the human life span from birth to old age and development and families from different points of view, such as biology, psychology and sociology. This integrative approach helps students learn about promoting normal development, about real-life problems and about the different types of interventions that are effective. While courses are delivered online, students also participate in an internship in a human service setting, under faculty supervision, applying what they have learned in the real world. “The internship will help students be very competitive in the job market,” Lefkowitz said. Applications are now being accepted for Penn State’s bachelor of science degree in human development and family studies. Visit the www.psu.edu for information.

Nittany Valley Benefit Dinner taking shape By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

HOWARD — It’s that time of year. The Nittany Valley Benefit Dinner is upon us once again. From 4 to 8 p.m. on May 24, there will be a community dinner featuring a traditional Amish home-cooked, wedding-style meal. John Esh is coordinating the event, which raises money to help local families with their medical bills. “It’s really quite an event,” Esh said. “There’s a lot of preparation that goes into it. We’ve already started working on it.” The community dinner will be held at 590 Hublersburg Road in Howard. Parking will be at the Walker Township Fire Hall. Horse and wagon shuttle service will be provided from the fire hall to where the dinner is served. The dinner features several main courses — and something for every taste. There will be pulled roasted chicken and filling, cooked ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, homestyle baked beans, noodles and cheese covered with melted butter, freshbaked bread, coleslaw, apple salad and creamed celery. “It’s all very good and there are lots of favorites, but the roast-

ed chicken and filling seems to be the most popular,” Esh explained. For dessert, there will be fresh-churned ice cream, homemade apple pie, chocolate cake, doughnuts and homemade vanilla pudding. The beverages include fresh-squeezed lemonade, freshly-brewed coffee and freshly-brewed mint tea. “Everything on the menu is made from scratch,” Esh said. The meal will be served buffet-style and will be all you care to eat. The meal continues to grow in popularity. As of press time, nearly one-third of the slots had been filled. Cost is $17 per adult and $15 for seniors 65 and older as well children ages six through 18. Children under 5 eat free when accompanied by an adult. Meals will be served from 4 to 5 p.m., 5 to 6 p.m., 6 to 7 p.m., and 7 to 8 p.m. The dinner is expected to sell out, so Esh asks that everyone purchases tickets in advance. “We’re hoping to serve around 600 people,” he said. Also on May 24, Amish quilts and crafts will be on display for a benefit auction that will be held the next day. There will also be breakfast and lunch served at the auction. Breakfast will be held from 6 to 10

Altrusa International hosts district conference this month From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — The members of Altrusa International of Centre County hosted the organization’s District Two conference April 26 to 28 at The Days Inn in State College. Altrusa is an international nonprofit organization that strives to make local communities better through leadership, partnership and service. With over 1 million volunteer hours performed annually, across 12 countries, Altrusans focus on literacy, with general service areas in HIV/AIDS and disaster relief. Local clubs meet a wide variety of needs specific to their community. The Centre County club was formed in 1951

Howard Walks scheduled for May 19 By AMY DEBACH-CONFER For The Gazette

HOWARD — At 11:30 a.m. on May 19, the Howard United Methodist Church will be holding a kickoff luncheon for its program, appropriately named Howard Walks. All are invited and encouraged to bring a healthy dish to pass. The Howard UMC is teaming with the Kinesiology Department of Penn State to encourage members, friends, family and any member of the community to move toward improved health through walking. The goal is for individuals and those who form teams to increase their daily footsteps.The challenge includes forming a team with others from the community, wearing a pedometer daily for 12 weeks and then reporting your footsteps at the end of each week. Ultimately, the program hopes to encourage members of the various area churches, the Howard Elementary school, the Howard Fire Department and the Howard Lion’s Club to participate but, individuals and groups composed of friends and family are also encouraged to participate. To form a team, each group will need a team coordinator to collect and report footsteps weekly. The Howard UMC will give each participant a Howard Walks tracking sheet, where daily footsteps can be recorded and has also purchased and received from the university, pedometers for all participating walkers. The 12 weeks of walking will begin Sunday, May 26 and end on Aug. 17. Another nice addition to the program include maps of the local area and some suggested walking trails. Other encouragement from team leaders should included gathering in various locations for group walks. This not only makes walking more fun but, builds community and relationships. The Rev.

Walk planned for June 2 From Gazette staff reports BOALSBURG — The Centre Lions Foresight Committee will host the Journey for Sight Walk at 2 p.m. on June 2 at the 28th Division Shrine in Boalsburg. Registration begins at 1:30 p.m. The suggested donation is $10 for walkers. Food will be provided for those who walk. All proceeds help those with sight disabilities. For more information, call Beverly at (814) 238-1267 or send donations to: Beverly Corl, P.O. Box 112, Pine Grove Mills, PA 16868.

United Methodist Church, has been coordinating the program. There are approximately seven walking groups formed within the church alone and her hope is to form many more through publicity and interest through attendance at the May 19 kickoff. Danley noted that the “Howard Parks and Rec is doing a fantastic job encouraging our walking to better health. It is my understanding that a new walking path in Howard will be completed by the end of May so we can walk a full circle around town. We can be thankful for those who have worked so hard to write grant applications for monies which are being used right here in our own community.� She also noted the importance of “making sure your doctor is on board with your walking program, be sure you are eating a healthy diet and are staying hydrated while walking. The beauty of walking is that we can do it anywhere any day. How many times can you circle the church inside, upstairs, downstairs, through the sanctuary? Walk for half an hour and see how many steps you count.� Danley’s original thought was to get people together to walk, and Pastor Craig Rose made the connections with the university. “He and I are currently in a study for ministers to encourage walking.� Dr. Melissa Bopp, assistant professor in the Department of Kinesiology at Penn State University, will be offering her expertise with the program. When asked to offer a description of her personal or groups role in this program and what is involved on the kinesiology end of things, Bopp responded: “My lab, the Physical Activity and Public Health lab in the department of Kinesiology at Penn State, became involved with the project via a mutual contact. We have been working on faith-based health promotion projects and felt we had some valuable experience and resources to add to the project. I am supervising a graduate student, Ben Webb, and

undergraduate student, Hannah Horne, will be transitioning into the spot of Hannah Thomas who just graduated and who has designed a daily log on which you can record your footsteps along with putting an incredible amount of information on the web site. She will also have team leader information available for each team captain. We hope to help with facilitation and organization of the contest and we have created or adapted resources to be used in the project.� Bopp also offered an explanation concerning the importance of exercise or activity in some form for everyone, and why she thinks the Howard Walks program will help the community. “Regular participation in physical activity (30 minutes of moderate activity five days a week) will help to prevent the onset of many chronic diseases (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, breast and colon cancers, depression). Even transitioning from being not active at all to a bit of activity has notable health benefits and disease prevention potential. Those participating in Howard Walks will be enjoying some of these benefits. Promoting physical activity at a community (town of Howard) or setting (Howard UMC) level has many benefits, including social support, which has been shown to be a positive influence on making positive health choices, creating healthy social norms as well as creating sustainable or lasting connections to encourage long term participation in physical activity/walking.� For more information or to sign up, call the Howard UMC at (814) 625-2362 or visit the Howard Walks website www.howardwalks.weebly.com. For specific information about signing up, information on appropriate walking shoes, how to use a pedometer, and a conversion chart that converts daily activities such as gardening, house work, and biking into steps visit the website, howardwalks.weebly.com.

Visitors are asked to bring a wagon or cart to transport their plants. A shady supervised spot will be provided where wagons and boxes of plants can be parked while attendees attend talks, visit vendors or tour the museum. Please visit our website for a list of plants offered for sale. The plant sale is the premier fundraiser for the Centre County Master Gardener program. Trained by Penn State Extension, master gardeners are volunteers who provide residents with research-based educational programs in consumer horticulture and environmental stewardship. They greatly magnify the reach and ability of Penn State Extension to offer practical, how-to advice and problem-solving assistance. Last year, master gardeners statewide answered more than 17,000 phone calls

and emails from residents seeking answers to plant, weed and insect issues. They delivered horticulture-education programs, organized and maintained demonstration gardens, consulted with school and community gardens, and donated thousands of pounds of produce to food banks. Altogether, they donated 119,306 hours valued at nearly $2.6 million. And they will do more of the same this year. Anyone interested in becoming a master gardener can contact his or her Penn State Extension county office. Visit http://extension.psu.edu/counties for contact information. Centre County residents can contact Molly Sturniolo at mas79@psu.edu. Centre County Master Gardener hotline volunteers are available to answer gardening questions from 9 a.m. to noon, on Mondays and Wednesdays, at centremg@ ag.psu.edu or (814) 355-4897.

Penns Valley Area High School holds prom By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — The high school prom is a timehonored tradition observed by students all across the country for many decades. Penns Valley High School honored this tradition on May 10 by having its annual JuniorSenior Prom at Hoag’s Celebration Hall in State College. Couples were dressed in elegant gowns and tuxedos. Parents, family members and friends arrived well in advance of the starting time to enjoy the spectator sport of prom watching. Some couples chose to make grand entrances into the parking lot, arriving in chauffeured limousines or vintage American muscle cars, but the most head-turning arrival was made by Jason Thoms and his date, Chelsea Folmur, who rode in on a white wagon pulled by two huge Clydesdale draft horses decked out in sparkling silver harnesses. Thoms’ parents, Roger and Linda Thoms of Aaronsburg, operate Ro-Lin on Clydes Draft Services and supplied the draft horses and wagon. After a time of handshakes, hugs and countless photos, the students lined up at the building entrance and filed in to the ballroom. Inside, disc jockey Andy Landis’ speakers were already

pounding out plenty of wall-thumping rock ’n’ roll music, and the students soon took to the dance floor. After some high-energy dancing, the pace slowed, and couples slowly swayed to romantic ballads in an atmosphere of romantic elegance. An array of food and drinks for the attendees and chaperones was provided by Hoag’s Catering in State College, served up by Hoag’s employee Kim Martirano. Senior class advisor Barbara Kitchen said there were over 200 tickets sold for this year’s prom. Later in the evening, the prom king and queen were crowned. This year’s reigning monarchs were Maverick Swartz and Bethany Wasson. They were selected by votes cast by the prom attendees. As the couples danced, a violent rainstorm passed through the area, virtually unnoticed by the prom attendees. Its thunder claps were drowned out by the high-

decibel music, and distant lightning flashes went unseen among the twirling, flashing laser lights on the dance floor.

‘Learning Lesson’ PSU women’s lacrosse squad takes care of UMass in NCAA tourney By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — If, as Penn State head coach Missy Doherty said, championship teams perform consistently under any conditions, then the Penn State women’s lacrosse team proved itself once again on Sunday afternoon. Cold, a biting wind, and a gritty No. 8 University of Massachusetts team all presented major obstacles for the Lady Nittany Lions in the second round NCAA played at the Penn State Lacrosse Complex. Yet Maggie McCormack poured in four first-half goals for the Lions, and then Molly Fernandez netted two clutch scores down the stretch as Penn State outlasted the Minutewomen, 129, and advanced into the quarterfinal round of the tournament. Besides McCormack and Fernandez, Kelly Lechner scored three goals and Mackenzie Cyr scored two for Penn State, but it was Fernandez’ two consecutive goals after UMass crept to within two scores that sealed the win for the Lions. “Our team has seen every single type of game,” Doherty said. “Any type of game is a learning lesson. I think to be in the NCAA’s and hopefully compete for championships, you need to be consistent across the board.” In this game, the Nittany Lions started strong, withstood a UMass second-half rally, and

controlled the ball and the tempo in crunch time to take home the win. McCormack got PSU on the board early with her first goal, and her 46th of the season, just 49 seconds into play. Lauren Terracciano tied it for UMass, but then a goal by Cyr and two by McCormack gave Penn State a 4-1 lead. Cori Murray brought the Minutewomen back to within 4-3 with two goals, but then Penn State scored four of the next five goals to take an 8-4 lead into the locker rooms at halftime. “Fortunately, the way our offense was running, I was in the right place at the right time,” McCormack said. “Mackenzie (Cyr) was setting me up with some great feeds, and my job is to finish and put the ball into the back of the net and fortunately I did that.” Penn State, wary of the Minutewomen’s quick-strike ability, aggressively began the second half and added a quick goal by Cyr to make the score 9-4. Yet, UMass made an early second half run nevertheless with three consecutive goals within seven minutes of play. Amy Tiernan, Murray, and Tanner Guarino all scored, and suddenly UMass was squarely back into things with the score now 9-7 and Penn State back on its heels. The Nittany Lions responded to the pressure, however, when Fernandez took a pass from Cyr on the left wing and beat UMass goaltender Jamie Schiloski with a

goal that put PSU back up by three at 10-7. Less than two minutes later, Fernandez found the net again, this time with an assist by Lechner, as she restored order in the game — and a four goal lead — for Penn State. “Molly did a great job of figuring out their defense,” Doherty said. “We were pushing a little bit too much from the top and running into their pressure, and Molly started to figure out the holes they were leaving to be open. A credit to her for figuring that out and coming up with really important goals.” For Fernandez, it was just business as usual. “We were just doing what we usually do,” she said. “I was just cutting into the middle, working hard, and fortunately Mackenzie (Cyr) gave me a great pass that first shot. We were just doing what we usually do, just trying to score goals.” Now ahead by four, but with over 14 minutes still to play, Penn State turned to its defense and patient, time consuming, offense. UMass did get a score from Katie Ferris that made the score 11-8 at the 12:27 mark, but from there the Minutewomen could do little as PSU controlled the ball and the tempo for the rest of the game. Lechner scored Penn State’s 12th goal with just over 10 minutes to play, and then the Lions held UMass scoreless over the next nine minutes to seal the victory. “We realize that we are one of

We expect to go to the final four. That’s our goal, and we are going to do everything that we can to get there.”

Penn State, now 14-6, will now face Big Ten rival Northwestern, 18-2, the defending national champion, in the quarterfinals on Saturday, May 18 in Evanston, Ill., with a trip to Villanova and a place in the final four on the line.

Falling Down Penn State men’s lacrosse team gets bounced from NCAA tournament By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The Penn State lacrosse team was decidedly upbeat as it began the second half of its first round NCAA matchup against Yale on Saturday afternoon. The Nittany Lions were ahead by four goals, and Yale was scoreless in the last 26 minutes of the first half and struggling. The problem for Penn State was that this was almost normal operating procedure for the Bulldogs, and Yale was unfazed by having to make another secondhalf comeback. “I’m surprised that this is still happening at this stage of the season,” Yale head coach Andy Shay said, “being down 3-1, 4-1. I don’t know if we’ve been down 51, but we do this almost every game. But I knew we would continue to grind and find a way.” True to form, the Bulldogs found a way in this game as well. They scored two quick goals to begin the second half, went on a nine-to-one run, and sprinted past the Nittany Lions for a 10-7 victory and a place in the second round of the tournament. John McGovern and Conrad Oberbeck jump started Yale with two goals in the first five minutes of the third quarter, and then Kirby Zdrill put the Bulldogs ahead, 7-6, for the first time with 9:06 to play. Subsequent goals by Brandon Mangan, Oberbeck, and Colin

Flahertry made the score 10-6 and put the game out of reach for the Nittany Lions, who were playing in their first NCAA tournament in eight years. “I think that got us going,” Oberbeck said, “scoring those first two goals. Some people use the term opening the flood gates. We scored the first goal of the game, and we needed to get back to scoring and get the momentum back.” That first goal was scored by Henry Kucharczyk with 11:40 left in the first period, but then Penn State took over the game. Led by the solid goalkeeping of Austin Kaut, who had seven saves in the first half and 14 for the game, Penn State tied the game in the late stages of the first period and then scored four more times before halftime to take a 5-1 lead into the locker room. Jack Forster put Penn State on the board first with his 41st goal of the season, and then Shane Sturgis, Gavin Ahern, Nick Dolik, and TJ Sanders all scored before halftime to give PSU its lead. “We felt pretty good at halftime,” Sanders said, “but we knew there were some opportunities that we missed in the first half. We learned early in the season that the game is not over at the half, so we were ready for the second half. Things just didn’t go our way.” After McGovern and Overbeck brought Yale back to within 5-3 to open the third frame, Drew Roper scored for Penn State two minutes later and reestablished a 3-

goal Penn State lead at 6-3. Yale responded immediately when Colin Flaherty, who scored three goals on the day for Yale, scored twice within a minute to make the score 6-5. Then Ryan McCarthy tied the game at 6-6 with a goal two minutes into the final quarter. After McCarthy’s goal, Penn State quickly fell into serious jeopardy when it committed two penalties on the same play, which gave Yale a two-man advantage and an opportunity take the lead. The Nittany Lions, however, killed the penalties and seemed to take the momentum back going into the stretch run. “That was huge for our defense,” Forster said. “Tyler Travis had a nice interception there which was huge for us. I thought that was definitely going to turn the tide.” Instead, Zdrill took a pass from Mike McCormack and scored the go-ahead goal for Yale with just over nine minutes left to play. One minute later, Brandon Mangan scored another goal for the Bulldogs, and Oberbeck made it 9-6 just 57 seconds later. In the meantime, the Yale defense and goalie Eric Natale stonewalled the Penn State offense. “It was tough,” Forster said, “when nothing is falling for you and they are scoring on the other end. It seemed like things were just weren’t going our way.” Down now by three goals with under seven minutes left, Penn

PENN STATE’S Tom LaCrosse heads upfield during Saturday’s contest with Yale at the Penn State Lacrosse Complex. State had to scramble and begin to take chances. Still, the Yale defense held, and the Bulldogs finally put the match away on a Flaherty goal with 1:46 left on the clock. A half-minute later, Sanders scored for Penn State, but it was too late for the Nittany Lions, and the final score was set at 10-7. For the Nittany Lions, it was a difficult way to end one of the best seasons in the program’s history. “I still feel a sense of pride for our seniors,” Penn State coach

Jeff Tambroni said, “and our captains in particular, Jack (Forster) and Travis (Tyler), who did a wonderful job of bringing Penn State to new heights. I know it hurts. Every one of those guys in there did everything they could to put us into a position to win today. “I’m hopeful that we will reflect positively on the 2013 season, and I hope that our juniors, sophomores, and freshmen will have learned from this experience and just do a better job when we come back next year.”

Rain doesn’t dampen spirits at golf tournament By JOHN DIXON sports@centrecountygazette.com

MINGOVILLE — No matter the charity golf event, it’s never really about who wins as long as funds are raised for the betterment of that particular event. “Remember, fundraising requires both optimism and realism,� said committee member Gary Bartley. “Without the first, few if any gift solicitation efforts would be made. Without the second, few if any would succeed.� Such was the case this past Saturday in Mingoville as the Nittany Country Club hosted the sixth annual B. J. Wetzler Memorial Golf Tournament. And despite heavy rains throughout the morning round that turned into lighter precipitation for the afternoon golfers, the event was an overwhelming success that will lead to more scholarships being available for a Bellefonte student. “We (committee) worked on this event for the past five months to put this all together,� explained John Wetzler, B. J.’s father and former Lady Red Raiders softball coach. “We always attempt to put on a first-class operation and I have a lot of help to do that and through the golfers in particular, especially the morning golfers due to the rain that forced us to only be able to play a nine-hole event. They really got soaked and they were willing to accept a nine-hole tournament instead of an 18-hole event. The morning group of Tim Glunt, Jerry Fisher, Tom Glunt and Terry Glunt posted a bestball score of 30 over nine holes winning by matching scorecards to beat the foursome of Jay Zimmerman, Rick Knepp, Chris

Bartley explained, “bottom line, it’s all about helping someone that might not be able to further their education without receiving some type of financial aide and what ever little we can do, makes playing golf in the rain and getting wet just a little more satisfying.� On-course skill prizes were also awarded with closest to the pin morning round winners in Darren Johnson, No. 4; Bob Belinda, No. 8; Mike Gerber, No. 13 and Chris Sigler, No. 17. Men’s long drive, John Curtin, No. 14 and women’s Allison D’Ambrosia, No. 9. Long putt, Tom Glunt, No. 7 and closest to pin second shot No. 11, Bill Bradley. Afternoon on-course skill prizes were also awarded with closest to the pin morning round winners in Mark Johnson, No. 4; Irv Witnosky, No. 8; Dave Hipple, No. 13 and Ray Andrews, No. 17. Men’s long drive, Spike Kennedy, No. 14 and women’s MJ Boldin, No. 9. Long putt, Dave Hipple, No. 7 and closest to pin second shot No. 11, Dave Hipple. “It’s very humbling and very gratifying to see all the support that we (family and event) receive from the community and throughout Centre Country,� explained Wetzler. “No one has ever turned us down when we ask for donations and we receive tremendous help and support of the event.� silent auction was held the night before the golf event and far exceeded the expectations of the golf committee. “The auction was awesome,� Wetzler said. “The turnout was outstanding and the bidding for the items was unreal in that several of the items went for more money than what the retail value

Sigler and Kevin Scott, who also carded a round of 30. Placing third, with a 32, was the team of Scott Benner, Jessie Moore, Aaron Zellers and Bob Belinda. Despite the foul weather, the turnout was not deterred with full fields playing in both the morning and afternoon rounds over the 9-hole, 6,014-yard layout. “When you play in a charity event, it’s not really about who wins or loses,â€? explained morning golfer Darin Rothrock of Bellefonte. “It’s always about the charity that you are supporting. Sure, winning is nice but bottom line is you want the charity to be the winner and the more successful the event is, the better it is. Besides any day on the golf course, wet or dry, is a good a day.â€? The afternoon round was dĂŠjĂ vu for the Bill Workman foursome as they repeated as champions shooting a best-ball 58. The group consists of Workman, Rich Leathers, Tom Workman and Earl Yarnell. Carding a round of 59 for second was the foursome of Bill Luther, Ron Benton, Ray Andrews and Greg Kight. Placing third, also shooting a 59, was the team of Barry Reese, Chuck Colyer, Dave Hipple and Lisa Hipple. “The conditions weren’t ideal due to all the rain that the course received during the morning round and created a lot of putts and shots that carom in all directions,â€? said Kight of his team’s 59 best-ball effort. “But we still managed to have a decent round in soggy conditions but in a charity event its not who wins, it’s what is done for the betterment of that particular charity.â€? But as committee member

That’s the most we’ve ever raised and it was a tremendous evening that has enable us to increase our scholarships from $1,000 to $1,500. “We’ve given out 13 $1,000 scholarships and not we are increasing those scholarships to $1,500 scholarships so that is very gratifying and we are looking forward to the continue support

and be able to award the scholarships for a good number of years. “When we recognize that a better word for fundraising is ‘friend raising,’ we open limitless doors to creativity in support of our causes,� explained Wetzler. “And hopefully this event will continue to grow more and more successful each and every year.� B.

Productive Afternoon P-O’s Kate Burge dominates DuBois in 8-3 victory By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

PHILIPSBURG — It was more than helpful for the Philipsburg Lady Mounties that Kate Burge came to play against DuBois on Monday afternoon. The senior pitcher gave up three early runs to the free swinging Lady Beavers but then settled down, shut out DuBois over the final four innings, and let her offense take over in P-O’s 8-3 victory in cold and windy Philipsburg. Burge finished the game giving up the three runs on six hits, walking two, and striking out six. She also wore her other hat — that of a big part of the Mountie offense. She went two-for-three in the game, with a single and a double, and led the team with three RBIs. It was her two-out, bases-loaded double to the wall in left field that highlighted PO’s six-run second inning that put the Mounties ahead 6-1. They were all the runs she needed to record her, and her team’s, 16th win of the season against only one loss. “You have to buckle down and think of your team and not just yourself,� Burge said. “If you think about your whole team and that you are in the lineup for a reason, I think that helps. “I helped my team out as much as I could, and it helps my pitching by getting hits, and I think they play a role with each other.� DuBois came in winning 12 of its last 13 games, and the Beavers got off to a fast start by scoring three runs in the first three innings against Burge. DuBois scored first after two hits and Casey Wilcox’ RBI groundout put DuBois ahead 1-0. P-O then put up that six-spot in the bottom of the second — all with two outs — on five hits and two walks that included Burge’s double and RBI hits by Megan

Bainey, Alyssa Shedlock, and Abby Showers. DuBois kept things close in the top of the third with two runs on two walks, an RBI single by Sierra McKee, and a RBI ground out by Wilcox that kept the Beavers within 6-3. But those would be the final runs that Burge would give up in the game. “I really had to start thinking about my spots,� Burge said. “We never really played DuBois that much so it was difficult for me to get to know the batters. But after I saw how they were hitting and their style of hitting, I think it helped me after that.� In the bottom of the third, P-O gave Burge two more runs to work with on RBI singles by Shedlock and Burge that made the score 8-3. It was Shedlock’s second RBI and Burge’s third of the game. “I was pretty excited,� Shedlock said about her hits. “We hit pretty well the whole way through our lineup, one through nine. Amazing. I’m just happy to hit anywhere.� Ahead now by five runs, Burge bore down and gave up only two more hits and didn’t allow a batter to advance past first base. She retired the side in order in both the sixth and seventh inning to put the win away. “She (Burge) had a great day today,� Philipsburg coach Jim Gonder said. “Her bat is starting to get hot a little bit, she had a couple hits and RBIs. That’s a pretty good No. 2 hitter.� P-O now finishes its regular season with a Tuesday game against Punxatauney, and then moves into the first round of the AA, District 6 tournament today against Bishop McCort at Philipsburg. “I think we’re doing really great,� Shedlock said. “I think we can go really far. We just have to stay focused and stick together. If we play the way we have, we can do some great things.�

Senior Leadership 5 Lady Mounties may be remembered as P-O’s most successful group yet By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

PHILIPSBURG — Senior leadership. Coaches always talk about it, every good team needs it, and year after year it has been a tradition for the Philipsburg-Osceola softball team. The five members of this P-O senior class have more than kept up that tradition, and they may in fact be remembered as one of P-O’s most successful classes ever. There is work to do, though, before they can begin to think about any of that. Pitcher Kate Burge, catcher Carly Gonder, second baseman Makalya Myers, and outfielders Chelsea Brown and Aisha Goss completed their final regular season game as Lady Mounties with a 6-0 victory over Punxsutawney on Tuesday afternoon — the team’s 17th victory this season against only a single loss. Now as P-O begins the 2013 playoffs today against Bishop McCort, these seniors are setting high goals for their team — just as the P-O seniors have in past seasons. “We always had great seniors to look up to,” Brown said, “and we always had great teams. When we were freshmen, we placed second at states, and then next year we won the state championship. Last year, our season ended shorter, and I think we owe it to the seniors from last year to go as far as we can this season.” “All four years, playing for the Mounties is an honor,” Burge said. “In our 10th grade year, the seniors were up the entire time. It didn’t matter if we were playing just an OK team. They were still, ‘We have to win, we have to win.’ And I think this year that we have the same mindset that we’re not stopping until we get to our goals.” But the reality and the unpredictability of the playoffs is not lost on these players. “We are a good team,” Gonder said, “but I know how much there’s extra pressure on the seniors now because we know that after one game, a 1-0 ballgame, we could be done. That’s a hard feeling. We have practice tomorrow, and that could be our last day of practice. “But we always know we’re going in strong, and hopefully we can play more games, but last season was cut short so hopefully we can make it farther than we did last year.” The Lady Mounties will enter the playoffs as the No. 1 seed in the District 6 Class AA tournament, and they are riding a 10-game winning streak coming into today’s game. They had six mercy-rule wins, and their only loss was by one run on a cold day at Class AAAA Central Mountain. Only two teams from District 6, however, will make it to the state tournament. The Lady Mounties will have to make it to the finals to qualify. “The hardest part about this year was keeping our team together as a whole,” Gonder said. “I think we did a really nice job of being the teammates that we should be and leading the team like we should. The underclassmen push the upperclassmen just as much as we push them. I think that’s why we’re always so successful because the programs underneath us produce such great underclassmen.” “We knew we were going to be good this year,” Goss

THE LADY MOUNTIES’ senior class is poised for a deep run in the postseason. From left, Carly Gonder, Makayla Myers, Kate Burge, Aisha Goss and Chelsea Brown. said. “From the start we knew that we could hit the ball as well as play the field. And we’re always behind our pitchers no matter what situation we’re in. “It was one of our goals to be the No. 1 seed, and 17-1 is a very good season considering that we are a young team.” “We owe it to the seniors last year to go farther this year,” Myers said, “and to push harder.” To a person, all of these players also acknowledged the importance of the coaching staff and especially head coach Jim Gonder to their success. “I think we should thank coach Gonder for being the person he is,” Carly Gonder, who is Jim Gonder’s neice, said. “I know he has all the intentions in the world to make us the best team that he can. Obviously, he does it right. He is the mastermind behind the whole show, and he is one of

Philipsburg CC hosts Golf Tournament

the best guys you’ll ever want to meet.” After the playoffs, whatever the outcome for P-O, and after their senior year, all of these girls have big plans for their future. Burge will attend Penn State Altoona, major in biology, and play softball. Carly Gonder is going to study chemistry at West Virginia University, and Myers will attend Lock Haven, major in psychology, and play softball. Goss will attend technical school for dental assisting, and Brown is going to Slippery Rock to study bio-chemistry. “We have been playing softball with each other since elementary school,” Brown said. “I think we have a strong bond, and I think we will keep in touch after we all graduate and go our separate ways. We have an alumni softball game every year, and I’m sure, like in five years, we’ll all come back and be playing with each other again.”

Penguins exorcise demons with series win vs. Islanders No matter how many Stanley Cup championships are claimed by the Pittsburgh Penguins, there will always be a void. A void in place because of one of the biggest playoff upsets in the NHL’s modern era. A series which ended stunningly on David Volek’s overtime goal in Game 7 at the Civic Arena on May 14, 1993 … Or you know, 20 years ago on Tuesday. David (expletive) Volek! Because of that goal, the Penguins were denied a shot at a third straight Stanley Cup with what may have been the best team the franchise had pieced together. It was the team’s lone President’s Trophy year after the Penguins collected 119 points and crafted a 17game winning streak along the way. Seeing that President’s Trophy banner — either at the Civic/Mellon Arena Shawn Curtis or at CONSOL Energy Center — is covers Pittsburgh enough to produce a sigh and make sports for the Centre County one wonder what could have been a Gazette. Follow third straight title. him on Twitter (If video games have taught me any@shawncurtis430. thing, that Penguins team likely would have beaten an all-star team of Montreal, Toronto and Los Angeles — the three remaining teams in that year’s playoffs — in a seven-game series had they advanced past the Islanders.) Brooks Orpik’s overtime goal on Saturday did nothing to fill that void created in 1993. It did win Game 6 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal for the Penguins against a

SHAWN CURTIS

spunky New York Islanders team. The goal allowed Pittsburgh to advance to the second round of the postseason after two disappointing firstround exits over the last two seasons. It was the first in 78 career playoff games for Orpik, who will always be remembered more for a series of hits against the Red Wings in 2008 than any puck he puts in the net, ever. That shot also gave the Penguins franchise its first postseason series win over the Islanders and ensured that fans on Long Island born in mid-1993 or later have never seen the Islanders beat the Penguins in the postseason ... Or anyone else for that matter. There will still always be that void that the Islanders created in 1993. Through four of the six games of the Penguins’ 4-2 series win, the thought of a reboot of 1993 was fresh enough to make even the most confident Penguins supporters a touch nervous. It was also enough to help every fan — at least those of us old enough to remember the events of two decades ago — relive the seven-game series waged for Patrick Division glory. But beating the Islanders in the postseason, closing out the series in their barn was mildly therapeutic. Not so much for what lies ahead for the Penguins; because the team will already be skates deep in a series with Ottawa by today, but more so because symbolism is a powerful force in sports. Ask any Maryland football player who was on a Terrapins team which played Penn State about symbolism. Well, except for the 1961 Maryland team and maybe that 1989 team. No matter how good the Terps were, Penn State seemingly had Maryland’s number — often in narrow fashion

until the end of the series in the early 1990s … 1993 to be exact. There’s that year again. The symbolism for the Penguins and Islanders may be lost on some because of how dominant Pittsburgh has been in the regular season against the Islanders, but historians of the team(s) and/or folks who know how to read media guides always had that nugget of information to run up the flagpole. In 1975, New York overcame a 3-0 series deficit to eliminate the Penguins. In 1982, the Islanders survived a scare from a spunky Penguins team on their way to a third straight title. In 1993, Darius Kasparaitis did mean things to the Penguins. Kevin Stevens was rendered to being a shell of his awesomeness for the remaining years of his career following a bloody collision with Rich Pilon’s visor during Game 7. Oh, and Volek. Now, thanks to a Penguins team which looked awfully shaky at times in games where it wasn’t shutting out New York, seeing the Islanders in the postseason won’t immediately conjure up memories of that fateful Friday evening 20 years ago when a potential dynasty was reduced to earlierthan-expected tee times and about 16 years of wondering when a third Cup would happen while nomadically wandering the standings and occasionally teasing a deep playoff run. If a Cup is in the cards for the Penguins this year, I’m not the one to know that until the chalice is handed over to captain Sidney Crosby. All I know is that somewhere near Uniondale, N.Y., a 13year-old Islanders fan will curse Orpik’s name for years until an unexpected hero avenges his/her 2013 heartbreak. If/when that happens, flashbacks of Volek will be as fresh as they were in 1993.

SELECTED

Former Lions trying to make NFL rosters

CAITLIN MCGLAUGHLIN, left, and Carrie Mahon, juniors at State College Area High School, were recently selected to be members of the 2013 U.S. Lacrosse National Tournament Team (Upper Atlantic/Western PA region). They were selected to fill two of the 18 roster positions from approximately 100 candidates who tried out for the team that will represent the western PA/Pittsburgh sub-region and play other teams from around the country. The team will participate in the 2013 US Lacrosse Women’s National Tournament held in Bethlehem on May 25 and 26 at Lehigh University in conjunction with the NCAA Division I Women’s Lacrosse Championship being hosted at Villanova University Submitted photo on May 24 and 26.

By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

A total of nine former Nittany Lions are hoping to make their first NFL roster. So far this spring, three were drafted. When NFL rookie camps closed down Sunday, four had signed free agent contracts. Two, including former Penn State quarterback Matt McGloin, are still in the running, but face uncertain futures. A total of 332 former Penn State players have been drafted by an NFL team, but many more have tried and succeeded by going the free agent route. The path to a pro career is a lot easier for the players who were drafted. First-team AllBig Ten defensive tackle Jordan Hill was selected by the Seahawks, while All-Big Ten linebacker Gerald Hodges and first team All-America linebacker Michael Mauti were both tabbed by the Minnesota Vikings. Both Hodges and Hill stand well positioned to make an impact on their respective teams. Mauti will need to prove that his physical health is good enough for the Vikings to take a chance on a player who has a long history of injuries. Mauti is recovering from a severe knee injury that ended his final season at Penn State. In 15 out of 20 seasons in Big Ten play Penn State has at least three players selected in the NFL draft. While that is the most notable way to carve a place on an NFL roster, four more Nittany Lions will look to work their way onto a squad after signing free agent contracts. Tackle Mike Farrell took his talents not far from Happy Valley to work with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cornerback Stephon Morris and first-team All-Big Ten center Matt Stankiewitch both used some of head coach Bill O’Brien’s connections to land with the New England Patriots. Running back Michael Zordich signed on with the Carolina Panthers to show off the physical style of running that made him a fan favorite while at Penn State. In addition to those players, quarterback Matt McGloin worked out with both the Washington Redskins and the Carolina Panthers. Linebacker Pete Massaro landed invites to Philadelphia Eagles’ rookie camp this past weekend. Neither McGloin or Massaro have signed free agent deals. “Any time you coach guys, even though it was only for a year, and you see those guys’ dreams come true, that’s a neat thing for a coach and all of us who coached those guys,� O’Brien said during a stop on the Coaches’ Caravan. Interestingly enough, in the 47 years of Super Bowl history a former Penn State coach or player has taken part in the game in 42 of those 47 years. 2 To Choose FFrom!! rom!!

NATIONAL CHAMPIONS

PSU gets another recruit StateCollege.com UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State football locked up a second recruit on May 10, gaining a commitment from Michigan linebacker Jared Wangler. The 6-foot-2, 215 pound Wangler comes in as a two star recruit on Rivals and a three star recruit on both Scout and 24/7 with offers from schools such as Michigan State and Cincinnati. He may not be as highly rated as others, but he did rack up 86 tackles for De La Salle High School in Warren, Michigan as a junior. Wangler is the second linebacker commit for the 2014 class alongside Troy Reeder. Wangler will be filling a major position of need for the Nittany Lions, with only six linebackers projected to be on scholarship in the 2014-15 season, not counting Zayd Issah, whose status is still up in the air. Wangler is Penn State’s ninth verbal commit for 2014 and fourth on the defensive side of the ball.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT ‘Born Yesterday’ kicks off summer theatre season By ANNE WALKER For The Gazette

STATE COLLEGE — Politics-as-usual collides head-on with the Pygmalion story when State College Community Theatre presents the 1946 Broadway play “Born Yesterday” at the State Theatre. The show will open at 8 p.m. on May 17, with additional performances at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. on May 18 and at 8 p.m. on May 24 and 25. There will also be an additional 2 p.m. matinee on May 25. Tickets are $20 per adult, $16 for seniors and students. Under the direction of Bruce Fleischer, the play covers material he describes as “timely, yet a little dated.”

If you go What: “Born Yesterday” Where: State Theatre, State College When: May 17 (8 p.m.), 18 (2 and 8 p.m.), 24 (8 p.m.), 25 (2 and 8 p.m.) More information: www.scctonline.org The opening scene introduces coarse, overbearing junk dealer Harry Brock who, with more money than sense, has arrived in Washington, D.C., to grease a few palms in hopes of securing legislation that will benefit his business dealings. He stomps around an elegantly appointed hotel suite with his attorney, Ed Devery, his cousin Eddie Brock and his mistress Billie Dawn. Steve Raybuck plays Harry with a demeanor alternating between menacing and bumbling. He knows how to make

money and push people around. And he can brag about it. Lyn Freymiller portrays the attorney who tolerates Harry’s bluster, while trying to keep him out of trouble. Bob Hicks, as Harry’s flunky, Eddie Brock, spends much of the scene pouring drinks and agreeing with everything Harry says. Kim Plummer makes the role of Billie Dawn captivating. Her “Joisey” accent, facial expressions, timing and gestures make Billie the kind of character audiences miss when she exits. Harry decides that his former-showgirl mistress will likely embarrass him as he schleps his schemes to Beltway heavyweights. So he hires writer Paul Verall, played with refinement by Jonathan Hetler, to educate Billie in societal graces. Verall, who hopes to expose political corruption, agrees to the deal. Plummer and Hetler create exciting chemistry onstage, and when the two share their first scene, the entire tone changes. It becomes apparent that the arrangement will result in something completely different from what Harry has in mind. Billie, who Harry describes as “a little on the stupid side,” proves herself anything but. The plot picks up on themes seen in “My Fair Lady,” “Educating Rita” and “Pretty Woman.” An uncultured woman stumbles into a situation where she needs to empower herself or perish. She discovers that she has an intellect and learns not to fear it. The newfound knowledge shows her the flaws in the men who sought to abuse, demean and control her. “It’s a love story at heart,” Fleischer said, “and an important American play. It deals with American themes — politics, power, corruption and women’s rights.”

ANNE WALKER/For The Gazette

BILLIE DAWN (Kim Plummer) and Harry (Steve Raybuck) play a game of cards during "Born Yesterday," which is being performed at the State Theatre. But “Born Yesterday” manages to not get bogged down with morality. Essentially a comedy, it does have some pretty funny lines and ironic moments. Plummer absolutely sizzles in her role, with outstanding support from the entire cast. Fleischer’s direction makes interactions and movement seem effortless, and he draws vitality from each performer. Penn State student Erik Raymond Johnson,

a certified fight director, choreographs the three instances of violence. No one gets hurt, but it looks impressive and adds to the authenticity of the characters’ experiences. “Born Yesterday gives the audience a sense of the period,” Fleischer concludes, “it allows them to relate to people, even those much less than perfect and to just enjoy a good story.”

Free concerts planned for Lemont From Gazette staff reports LEMONT — Free concerts will be held from 7:30 to 9 p.m. every Friday, beginning in June, on the Lemont Village Green. Picnics are welcome, and donations will be accepted to help support the Granary renovation projects.

Penn State Centre Stage plans 2013–14 season

From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State Centre Stage will begin its 2013–14 year-round professional theatre season by bringing award-winning plays and actors to the Penn State Downtown Theatre Center. The season begins with “Good People,” by Pulitzer Prize winner David Lindsay-Abaire, June 12–22. “Good People” is set in South Boston, where this month’s paycheck covers last month’s bills, bingo is a night on the town and sharp-tongued single-mom Margie Walsh has just been let go from yet another job. Scrambling to make ends meet, she looks up an old flame, hoping he’ll help her make a fresh start in this humor-filled drama from Pulitzer Prize winner David Lindsay-Abaire about how twists of fate determine our path. The play stars Johanna Day as Margie Walsh. Day received a Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actress in a Play for her performance as Claire in Proof on Broadway. You can listen to Johanna as Margie Walsh in the video clip below as she played the role for Boston’s Huntington Theatre last August. “Good People” also stars Amelia Campbell, who performed in several Broadway shows and received a Tony Nomination for Best Featured Actress in “Our Country’s

Good” and R. Ward Duffy, who appeared Off-Broadway at Lincoln Center, New Dramatists, and Cherry Lane Theatre, and received the Best of the Suncoast Best Actor Award for his performance in “True West” at the Banyan Theatre.

July 24 thru Aug. 3, Ridley will return to star as Sister Aloysius Beauvier in “Doubt: A Parable,” by John Patrick Shanley, winner of a Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for Best Play. “Doubt” also features returning master of fine arts acting alum Kevin Murphy, master of fine arts musical theatre alum Carly Hughes and third-year master of fine arts actor Stori Ayers. The fall season begins with “No Place to Be Somebody,” by Charles Gordone, Oct. 1 to 10, in the Pavilion Theatre. Directed by Charles Dumas, this Pulitzer Prize-winning play is set in the middle of the Civil Rights era, where a

black bartender matches wits with a white mobster. Next, musical theatre students can be seen in “Guys and Dolls,” with music and lyrics by Frank Loesser, book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows, and directed by Meghan C. Hakes from Nov. 5 to 20, in the Playhouse Theatre. Spring begins in the Pavilion Theatre, Feb. 18 to March 1, with “Into the Woods,” music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by James Lapine, directed by Kasey RT Graham. The season ends March 25 to April 5 back downtown with a Penn State School of Theatre commissioned new play “Blood at the Root,” by Dominique Morisseau, directed by Steve Broadnax. “Blood at the Root” is a drama inspired by the Jena Six and the “white tree.” Morisseau is the 2012 National Theatre Conference Barrie and Bernice Stavis Playwright Award recipient, and an alumni of the 2011 Public Theater Emerging Writer’s Group, the Women’s Project Playwrights Lab and a 2011-12 Lark Playwrights Workshop fellow.

Career Fair highlights opportunities in county From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — Pennsylvania’s improving job market is reflected in its unemployment rate, now 7.2 percent in central Pennsylvania, as more companies ramp up hiring. Central Pennsylvania residents who want to learn about job opportunities in this region are invited to attend the sixth annual Central Pennsylvania Regional Career Fair from 2 to 5 p.m. Friday, May 17, at The Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel in Innovation Park. More than 65 employers will be at the event. “This venue developed out of the desire to help current Penn State students and adult learners who want to live and work in the area, bringing talented professionals together with reputable, solid local employers who offer good job opportunities,” said Penn State Career Counselor Liz Lasher. New this year: A new military resource center will allow attendees to speak with military personnel about different individual and family benefits service members are eligible to receive. Penn State admis-

sions counselors who specialize in working with military students will also be there to answer questions. Lasher offers these tips for preparing for the fair: ■ Visit the Career Fair website at careerfairs.psu.edu/CentralPA/ regularly to review the list of participating employers in the “Job Seekers” section, which will be updated daily. ■ Know what your skill set is and tailor your résumé to highlight the characteristics for that job. ■ Bring multiple copies of your résumé and come dressed as if you are showing up for a professional interview. Penn State adult learner Alan Carothers plans to follow these tips. After being laid off in 2010, Carothers decided to continue his education part time through Penn State’s World Campus while working full time. Set to graduate in August with a master’s degree in supply chain management, Carothers has “made a list of employers to talk to. I’m looking forward to getting facetime with representatives from companies I’m interested in and establishing specific contacts.”

Six things to do with emails DAVID M. MASTOVICH

(Editor’s note: This is the first in a series of three columns focusing on achieving personal and professional growth developed based on presentations made to college seniors, business owners and senior leaders of organizations.)

While preparing a speech for a group of college seniors, I focused on the importance of a lifelong David M. thirst for knowledge Mastovich is and achieving positive, president of incremental change. MASSolutions Inc. The end result was a For more presentation with information, go to massolutions.biz. three key themes: ■ Success, like beauty, should be in the eye of the beholder. You decide what you want to do, how you want to live and what you want to achieve. ■ Potential employers need to know what you are capable of and how you think. Use the Seinfeld PR approach and tell your story. What you think is nothing can be interesting to others. ■ People will want you on their team if you are organized, efficient and get things done. ■ Here are some tips to improve your

organizational skills.

SIX THINGS TO DO WITH EMAILS: 1. Act — Act on it immediately. If something can be done in less than 15 minutes, act on the task immediately and complete it. Then, it’s done and off your “to do” list. 2. Tickle — If a task requires action within two weeks, place it in your “tickle” folder along with a due date. Your “tickle” folder should be reviewed two or three times each week with actions taken based on priority. 3. To do — If the item needs acted on within the next week and you can’t work on it immediately, put it in your “to do” folder. This folder will contain multiple items and must be reviewed every day to stay on top of your main priority items. 4. Delegate — Delegate or forward the email to someone. Provide specific timelines and action items for the person assigned the responsibility. Follow up as necessary on the progress. 5. File — If it is important but not actionable immediately, create a folder and file it as soon as possible. If you can’t file things quickly, at least file multiple items once a week. 6. Delete — You need to get rid of emails if they are not relevant now or won’t be within six months. Enjoy deleting. It should be a liberating experience. 7. The key is to touch the email once and then have a plan for it. Use these six things to do with emails to become more productive and gain peace of mind.

Projects give students chance to solve business problems From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — Preparing students for successful careers is one of the Penn State Smeal College of Business’ primary missions, and the college has consistently ranked highly among recruiters from top companies all over the country. Part of that preparation is the real-world business problems students are tasked with solving as part of their classwork. Associate professor of supply chain and information systems Bob Novack’s SCM 301H Supply Chain Management honors course is one such class in which students work with industry representatives from major corporations to solve real, timely business problems over the course of the semester. “The students in SCM 301H are only sophomores, but they’re honors students, so we challenge them to do a little bit more,” said Novack. “They’re not all Supply Chain majors, but we want them to get an idea of what supply chain professionals really do. These projects get them im-

mersed in a topic and in the company.” Partnering with Unilever and the Hershey Co., Novack provides student teams with real supply chain problems. Student teams then spend the semester developing solutions and a presentation to deliver at the end to company executives. “These projects are based on things the companies are actually working on,” said Novack. “The company reps know that they can throw an idea in front of these students who might, in the end, either confirm what the company was already thinking or cast the whole project in a new light with a new idea.” Students in the Hershey section presented their final projects to company representatives in April. The projects covered a range of topics like demand planning, postponement, global expansion and responsible product sourcing. After each team presented, the Hershey representatives asked tough questions, encouraging the students to think on their feet and delve deeper into the ideas presented.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State Smeal College of Business students in Nancy McClure’s accelerated section of BA 411 Analyzing Business and Industry pitched business plans to an executive panel of judges as part of their final projects late last month. The winning team pitched an idea for an electronic tablet that would allow musicians to move through a piece of sheet music without manually turning pages. As part of their pitch, the students presented technology costs, compared features with existing competitors and talked about possible partnerships with sheet music providers. According to McClure, an instructor in accounting, her section of BA 411 serves as a capstone course for

seniors by integrating topics areas into a wider view of how business works. “Writing, presenting and defending a business plan on interdisciplinary teams requires students to hone the skills that they have developed within their own major and also to develop and employ cross-disciplinary written and verbal communication skills,� said McClure. The course gives students a chance to either develop a business plan for their own ideas or work with an existing BA 411 partner. This semester, four of the five teams brought in their own ideas. “To develop these plans, they must do the industry research, complete marketing surveys and assessments of the market, construct the financial projections and operational plans and create an argument that will convince

potential investors that their plan is likely to succeed,� said McClure. This semester’s panel of judges included John Anderson, director of operations at TekSystems; Mike Lynn, retired CFO of Avail Technologies; John Tierney, partner, advisory services at Ernst & Young LLP; Tara Weiner, managing partner in the greater Philadelphia region at Deloitte LLP; and Bill Zally, a consultant and certified public accountant. “To prepare a sound business plan and then present and defend it to an executive panel requires a level of dedication and maturity that will serve these students well in their careers,� said McClure. After each presentation, the panel asked difficult questions about financials, research, marketing plans, risk analysis, cost benefit and more.
