Community discusses options for high school

Area students celebrate Arbor Day By SAMI HULINGS shulings@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Nearly 100 community members met at State College High School Thursday night to talk about plans for the rapidly aging High School buildings, a subject that has generated some controversy. An earlier proposal to build a new school building was torpedoed by strong opposition in the community. The school board is once again considering two options: building an entirely new school, or renovating the existing buildings, all before 2017. The evening started off with several hour-long tours led by State College high school students through the North and South buildings on Westerly Parkway. The goal was to illustrate the need for upgrades. Some of the classrooms haven’t been updated since initial construction in 1962. Concerns about the current state of the buildings include: ■ 85 percent of the campus is now over 40 years old. ■ Windows, heating and ventilation, electrical and plumbing systems require replacement. ■ Heavy leaking occurs in the building (according to a tour guide, the south auditorium floods every time it rains). ■ Classrooms are undersized and lack windows. ■ Neither high school building meet current borough codes. ■ Most rooms have no air conditioning. “We’re building the high school for the next 50 years,” said board vice president Amber Concepcion. Twenty-three different sites were evaluated as possible school locations, according to architect Matthew Harlow, which was recently narrowed down to three. The three locations include Everhart Farm off University Drive and two locations owned by Penn State, one near Whitehall Road and the other near the Fox Point neighborhood. “College Avenue and Blue Course Drive near the Waffle Shop is the demographic center of our district,” said Harlow. “These three locations satisfy that location.” The upgrades will mean higher costs for taxpayers. The board distributed a chart which outlined the average projected cost to State College homeowners based on the total project cost. Preliminary estimates put the cost of the project at $109.9 million to

UNIVERSITY PARK — In celebration of Arbor Day, more than 600 State College Area School District fourth-graders spent the day learning about nature and their impact on it at The Arboretum at Penn State. As the theme for the day’s activities centered around Arbor Day, students participated in 18 different nature stations, with many relating to trees. Students had the opportunity to help plant a seedling at the arboretum and “climb,” via harness and pulley, up into the high branches of giant oak tree. Each took home a pine tree seedling to plant. The event was sponsored by the Village at Penn State. In addition to the arbor related stations, Arbor Day activities also included information about forestry, land history, wildlife and art in nature. “The intent is to foster and understanding of the natural world, especially the relationship between plants and humans and to promote environmentally compatible uses of the land,” said Kate Reeder, event and marketing coordinator for The Arboretum at Penn State. According to Reeder, the event began four years ago out of a discussion between Patrick William, the arboretum director of development, and Donnan Stoicovy, principal at Park Forest Elementary School. Stoicovy had previously met with the arboretum’s horticulturist, director and other staff members in 2010 to discuss the kinds of educational field trips that could be planned for local elementary students in the newly opened H.O. Smith Botanic gardens.

SW Pa. hospital seeks partnership with network By The Associated Press WINDBER — A rural southwestern Pennsylvania hospital says in a letter to employees that is seeking a “strategic relationship� with a larger health network. Although the letter doesn’t specify a potential partner for Windber Medical Center, chairman David Klementik mentioned to the (Johnstown) Tribune-Democrat recent acquisitions and partnerships involving health insurer Highmark Inc. and several western Pennsylvania hospitals and increasing affiliations the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and its health plan have with other hospitals. Klementik says, “As they develop networks of favored providers, we would like to be a part of that.� The hospital’s officials say a partnership is likely necessary for the smaller, independent hospital. Although no deals or even talks are ongoing, officials at the hospital about 65 miles east of Pittsburgh wanted employees to know it is being considered.

Judge postpones hearing over Penn State lawsuit By The Associated Press HARRISBURG — A judge has postponed a hearing on the NCAA’s request to dismiss Gov. Tom Corbett’s antitrust lawsuit over sanctions college sports’ governing body imposed on Penn State over the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal. Oral arguments had been scheduled for Wednesday. But U.S. District Judge Yvette Kane has postponed them until May 20, citing plans to attend the funeral for Chief U.S. District TOM CORBETT Judge Gary Lancaster. Corbett sued the NCAA in January, arguing the sanctions violated federal antitrust laws. His lawsuit accuses the NCAA of exploiting the Sandusky case to increase the power of the organization’s president and help some universities gain a competitive advantage. The NCAA says its consent decree doesn’t violate federal antitrust law. Penn State isn’t a party to the lawsuit.

Police investigating theft attempt at Mount Nittany StateCollege.com STATE COLLEGE — State College Police are looking for a man involved in an attempted theft Saturday at Mount Nittany Medical Center on Park Avenue. The suspect attempted to take orthopedic surgical equipment from the hospital’s Sterile Processing Area, according to investigators. Surveillance photos of the suspect show him leaving the building wearing medical scrubs. Police say the man appears to be in his 30s with glasses, a mustache, and is approximately 5 feet 11 inches tall. If you can identify the suspect or have any information about the attempted theft, please call State College Police at (814) 234-7150.

State College mayor advocates split with fossil fuel companies By KEVIN BEGOS The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — The mayor of the central Pennsylvania borough of State College has endorsed a campaign that urges municipalities to divest from fossil fuel companies, the environmental group 350.org said in a release Thursday. Borough Mayor Elizabeth Goreham joined nine other mayors in urging municipalities to divest from the top 200 fossil fuel companies because of climate change, but other officials said the issue hasn’t been voted on. “That’s just her speaking personally, as mayor,� said borough council member Thomas Daubert, who noted that the question hasn’t been discussed yet at a public meeting. Daubert said a full council vote would be needed for official action. He wouldn’t speculate on what the council might do, but said that most of the members “are middle-of-theroad type people.� Goreham couldn’t be reached for comment, but Daubert said he knew she had been considering the issue. State College is about 85 miles northwest of Harrisburg. It’s also the home of Penn State University. One leading state environmental group applauded Goreham’s action, but said it was mostly symbolic. “It’s about the value of clean energy and the harm caused by continuing to rely on fossil fuels,� said George Jugovic, president of the group PennFuture. Jugovic said addressing climate change is one of PennFuture’s primary goals “and then there’s reality,� which is why they also support using natural gas during the decades it will take to transition to a society powered by renewable energy like wind and solar. The modern oil industry began in northwest Pennsylvania in 1859, and the state is currently home to the most productive natural gas field in the nation, the Marcellus Shale. That’s sparked a boom in drilling.

Patrick Henderson, Gov. Tom Corbett’s energy executive, declined to comment on the State College divestment stance. 350.org and many scientists say ever rising amounts of greenhouse gases — mostly carbon dioxide— are contributing to global warming. Carbon dioxide is emitted by the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas, but other gases such as methane come from natural sources, too. ELIZABETH A poll last December found that a GOREHAM growing majority of Americans think global warming is occurring and that it will become a serious problem, an Associated Press-GfK poll found. The poll found 4 out of every 5 Americans said climate change will be a serious problem for the U.S. if nothing is done about it. That’s up from 73 percent when the same question was asked in 2009. The 350.org statement said that on Tuesday the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to urge the city’s $16 billion pension fund to divest over $583 million from the fossil fuel industry. 350.org said divestment petitions are being considered in 100 other cities and states across the country. The other mayors who have endorsed divesting from fossil fuel companies are from Madison, Wis., Bayfield, Wis., Ithaca, N.Y., Boulder, Colo., Eugene, Ore., Richmond, Calif., Berkeley, Calif., San Francisco, Calif., and Seattle, Wash.

Rommel said having students plan and participate in their own Mini-THON is important because it teaches them, that no matter their age, they have the ability to make a difference. “They can make an impact on the community,� she said.

Some of these events and activities include football game canning, participation in Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and the Philipsburg Hope Express Walk, First Friday Family Days, student council meetings, assemblies, bake sales, contests and a dodge ball tournament, according to information provided by Rommel. Like Mini-THON, these fundraisers also support The Four Diamonds Fund. The money raised for The Four Diamonds Fund at the Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital benefits families affected by pediatric cancer. It offsets the cancer treatment that a family’s health insurance does not cover, as well as non-medical costs, including food, housing and travel expenses. Additionally, The Four Diamonds Fund supports a medical team comprised of pediatric oncology specialists, a music therapist, a nutritionist, nurses, a psychologist and researchers, in addition to other hospital staff, according to a press release by Rommel. In 2009 Mini-THON raised $1,300; in 2012 it raised $34,000. For more information email Rommel at nanci0712@gmail.com.

High School, from page 1 $151.8 million, depending on the location and complexity, excluding the renovation option. Six concepts are currently being considered, including complete relocation or significant renovations and additions at the current Westerly Parkway site. The board plans to gauge public interest in the project by using randomly distributed surveys at the end of May. Science Research Solutions has been commissioned to prepare the survey for $35,000. In all, 6,750 surveys will be sent out and the board expects 1,300 to be returned. “Social Science Research Solutions will

get all the information and prepare a report for the board that will be delivered in early July,” said Board President Penni Fishbaine. “They will count all the surveys and weight the surveys so it equates as closely as possible to the State College area.” Survey questions have yet to be determined, but the intent is to gauge “which services have adequate community support,” she said. The board hopes that all of this preliminary work will result in a community referendum on May 20, 2014. Ideally construction will begin in early 2015 to conclude in 2017, according to papers distributed at the meeting.

SAMI HULINGS/For The Gazette

MORE THAN 600 fourth-grade students from State College Area School District elementary school’s attended the Arbor Day activities held at The Arboretum at Penn State. Arbor Day, from page 1 “The arboretum determined that Arbor Day would provide an excellent theme around which to plan such a field trip,” Reeder said. “Staff in Penn State Extension, various departments at the university and community organizations have been involved in providing the outreach activities at Arbor Day each year.” One such organization is Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center. As Penn State’s nature center, Shaver’s Creek serves as an educational environmental learning hub. Julie Dahl, Shaver’s Creek’s raptor center intern, served as one of the presenters for the Arbor Day event. During the day, she presented to two groups of 300 students, talking about the red-tailed hawk and other raptors. “We have the birds at Shaver’s Creek for educational purposes and that’s what they’re there for. We love to go out to things like this and teach children about the natural world,” Dahl said. For Dahl, the goal of her internship is being able to interact with children and teach them about birds. Participating in events like the Arbor Day celebration allows her to do this. “I really enjoy their input,” she said.

“Some of them come up with some really cool things you wouldn’t think a fourthgrader would be able to come up with.” Reeder said this direct interaction with plants and animals provides many children with the opportunity to better appreciate nature. “Our mission is to teach the interconnectedness and the value of all the ecosystems and how one part, such as the pollinators, can contribute to the health of all of us, human beings, animals and the plant world.” She said she hopes the Arbor Day activities taught the children to value nature and to continue to learn more about their surroundings. She said she feels providing the students with hands-on activities, like tree climbing and planting, will only further this. “I’ve always understood that if you reinforce the idea or the process, you explain it, you demonstrate it and then you them something to hold in their hands, then you’re more likely to have the message sink in,” Reeder said. “It isn’t just our Earth. It’s all the plants, all of the animals, all of the interconnectedness.” For more information about The Arboretum at Penn State, visit arboretum.psu.edu.

Trash to Treasure in need of volunteers By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — It’s that time of year: The 12th annual Trash to Treasure sale is a little less than a month away. The sale will be held on June 1 at Beaver Stadium. Between now and then, however, there is a lot of organizing to do. “We’ll have several sorting days and we’ll need volunteers to help with that,” said Beth Shaha, special events coordinator for the Centre County United Way. “We’re going to be going through 75 tons of ‘treasure,’ so the more volunteers, the better.”

HELP WANTED What: Centre County United Way’s Trash to Treasure Sale When: Two- or three-hour shifts, various dates in May Why: To help a good cause More information: trashtotreasure.psu. edu The items from Trash to Treasure are gleaned from the residential halls at Penn State. There are a wide variety of items for sale at Trash to Treasure. Everything from lamps, fans, futons, electronics, office chairs, carpet, household items, books and vacuum cleaners will be available. There is also a plethora of clothing — especially a large selection for teens. However, before the sale begins, there is sorting going on behind the scenes. According to Shaha, the sorting is done in three- to four-hour shifts. At press time, there were 80 people signed up to be vol-

unteer sorters. According to Shaha, though, more bodies are needed. “We can definitely use more volunteers. It takes a lot of hands to get through all of it. There are boxes, bags and totes to sort through,” she said. The process of sorting is a month-long process that requires help from community and campus volunteers. The United Way gets help from its partner agencies. There are 35 agencies that form groups to come and help sort. “It’s really important to have those agencies help,” Shaha said. Last year, the sale generated $61,000 for the Centre County United Way. More importantly, it kept 76.5 tons of items that were left behind out of the landfill. Penn State averages 190 tons in move-out waste every year. That’s the largest two-day waste stream produced at the University Park campus. It also saves the university nearly $5,000 in landfill tip fees and hauling. “It’s really a win-win,” Shaha explained. “It really started just to reduce the amount of trash that was headed for the landfills. Economically, it helps the United Way, but it is also beneficial to the environment.” The sorting process has begun. Twoand three-hour shifts are scheduled throughout the month of May. Those who are interested in volunteering, can sign up by visiting www.trashtotreasure.psu.edu. Volunteers must be 18 years or older. Minors accompanying volunteers must be escorted by a parent or guardian at all times. “It really is a group effort. There is a committee that meets all year in preparation for the event. Now that we’re about a month away, it’s getting pretty exciting,” Shaha said. Shaha is new to the United Way. She

said that she will be experiencing her first Trash to Treasure sale. “It’s a big event, but I’ve never been

there,” she said. “There’s so much that goes into it … I’m excited to see it firsthand.”

Workforce shrinks as it grows older By Scripps-Howard News Service One of the economic puzzles of the recent recession is the decline in labor-force participation, from 66 percent at the start of the recession to 63.6 percent as of last month, the lowest level since 1979. However, even with the major economic indicators trending upward and the unemployment rate down to 7.6 percent, the workforce still declined by half a million, bringing to 6.4 million the number of “missing” workers. Two explanations suggest themselves, both bad. First, the underlying labor market could be far weaker than previously believed; second, that large numbers of unemployed workers have completely given up and are unlikely to return to the workforce even as hiring continues to pick up. They don’t just disappear. They work off the books for cash in the gray economy; they take early retirement; or, as 8.9 million of them have done, they go on disability insurance, up from 7.1 million at the start of the recession. The Wall Street Journal says, “A close look at the numbers suggests both fears, though real, may be exaggerated.” The explanation, at least part of it, is as plain as the wrinkles on our faces. Labor-force participation has been in long-term decline through both recession and recovery, and the trend would have continued regardless. Explains the Journal, “The main reason is demographics: Americans are much more likely to work between the ages of 25 and 54 than when they are older or younger.” The baby boomers are aging and retiring, and the youngest of their children are not yet in the prime of their working lives. The older and younger segments of the population are the fastest-growing. “Adjust for the changing population and the ‘missing’ workforce shrinks to about 4.3 million,” notes the Journal.

Questions remain in wake of blasts How well is the United States balancing security versus liberty? More than a decade after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the American commitment to both security and liberty came under scrutiny again with the deadly bombings at the Boston Marathon on April 15. The surviving suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was not initially read his Miranda rights, because investigators chose instead to question him about possible other attacks. Officials also quickly rejected any suggestion that he face justice before a military commission instead of a civilian court. Is the U.S. putting too much emphasis on security? On civil liberties? Or neither? Scripps-Howard columnists Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk debate the issue.

JOEL MATHIS The headlines on April 16 were — understandably — so full of the news about the previous day’s bombings in Boston that an important bit of information slipped through the cracks. The Constitution Project had completed its report on how the U.S. treated detainees during the first years of the so-called “War on Terror,” and the news was not pretty. The United States, the panel concluded, clearly and unequivocally tortured terror suspects during the Bush Administration. “In the course of the nation’s many conflicts, there is little doubt some U.S. personnel committed brutal acts against captives, as have armies and governments throughout history,” the nonpartisan, independent panel reported. “But there is no evidence there had ever before been the kind of detailed and considered discussions that occurred after Sept. 11, directly involving a president and his top advisers on the wisdom, propriety and legality of inflicting pain and torment

on some detainees in our custody.” The good news? There’s no evidence anybody was waterboarded or otherwise abused during the search for the Boston bombers. Diligent, persistent police work brought the men to justice fairly quickly. The bad news? There’s plenty of bad news. You can’t go through the airport without being subjected to invasive body scanners. President Barack Obama has decided he has the authority to assassinate American citizens abroad, without review, if they’re suspected of terrorism. Gitmo (the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba) remains open. Warrantless wiretapping is now legal. The National Security Agency is probably capturing (if not directly peeking at) every single one of our electronic communications. Civil libertarians, who celebrated the night of Obama’s election, have instead kept taking it on the jaw ever since. Asked to balance liberty and security, our leaders have chosen security just about every time. Boston showed us there’s still room for things to get worse — but the margin remains extremely narrow. Patrick Henry, a famous patriot, once said, “Give me liberty or give me death!” America has chosen the little-known third option.

BEN BOYCHUK America isn’t quite as free today as it was before Sept. 11, 2001. The country is somewhat safer for the bargain. True, after nearly 12 years and hundreds of billions of dollars, the FBI, the New York Police Department, and other law enforcement agencies have foiled dozens or perhaps even hundreds of terrorist plots. Yet the nation’s security remains vulnerable to simple incompetence. From time to time, we still hear about toddlers who appear on the

government’s secret “no fly” list. Yet a typographical error allowed Tamerlan Tsarnaev to travel freely to Russia, where he did heaven knows what in advance of his plan to bomb the Boston Marathon this month. It’s too much — and much too dangerous — to expect the government to know everything. But don’t they have fact checkers at the Department of Homeland Security? Meanwhile in Boston, federal, state and local authorities shut down the entire city of 1 million people to conduct house-to-house searches for Tsarnaev’s younger brother in a small section of Watertown. Officials assured the public that the searches were “voluntary.” Yes — in precisely the same sense that our income tax system is “voluntary.” Either comply or face the consequences. And so YouTube is replete with cellphone videos of heavily armed SWAT officers frog-marching dowagers from their homes, hands on their heads, as they searched for a wounded 19-year-old boy who was hiding just outside their 20-block perimeter. We should rejoice that the surviving bomber was taken alive, and we should honor the victims. Let’s also take some consolation that things could be worse, and indeed were much worse during the first and second world wars. We remain free to watch YouTube videos of our government in action. The president isn’t using the Federal Communications Commission to shut down opposition radio stations, as President Franklin Roosevelt did. Dissenters have nothing to fear. Perhaps that’s because the government today is so large and so powerful that it has nothing to fear from dissent.

HEALTH & WELLNESS ‘Weight of the Nation’ tackles childhood obesity By BRITTANY SVOBODA correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — A child can develop a variety of health issues for an array of reasons. Bouts of flu, broken bones and earaches are almost rites of childhood. But health issues not often associated with childhood include high blood pressure, high cholesterol and Type 2 diabetes, and incidents of these health problems are on the rise in children and adolescents. It is a topic discussed, debated and, in some cases, ignored within the United States, and last week the conversation came to Centre County when Nittany Health showed a popular HBO documentary Tuesday, and hosted a discussion afterward at the State Theatre with area doc-

tors and other health specialists. Part of a four-week presentation of the documentary “The Weight of the Nation,� the group of panelists led a discussion with community members about childhood obesity, which has doubled and tripled in children and adolescents in the past 30 years, respectively. The documentary follows doctors and obese Americans who are fighting against the epidemic.

Full-time caregiver positions available Our compassionate Caregivers provide light housekeeping, meal preparation, and personal care services to local elderly who need extra assistance to live independently in their homes. Comfort Keepers is seeking full-time caregivers in the Centre County area. Benefits include major medical, dental and vision, 401(k), and paid time off. To begin your career of caring,

Dr. George McCormick, a pediatrician with Mount Nittany Health, said childhood obesity is one of the biggest medical problems today. “Talking to kids (about obesity) is a huge challenge,� McCormick said. It is a struggle, he said, to motivate not only kids, but parents, to become more educated. “Parents need to know what they need to do,� said Penn State Hershey PRO Wellness Center Project Manager Barb Blatt. Blatt said it is important for parents to know about is body mass indexing (BMI) requirements, which takes a person’s weight and height to calculate body fat. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, having extra body fat is directly linked to being obese.

Two reasons childhood obesity has increased in the last three decades is lack of proper nutrition and exercise, the documentary and panelists said. In the State College Area School District, 18.6 percent of students are either overweight or obese, K-12 Curriculum Coordinator for Health Education and Physical Education Linda Eggebeen said. Compared to the state average of 66 percent of kids being overweight or obese, Blatt said, the area is doing relatively well. Physical education is required to be taught in Pennsylvania schools, Eggebeen said. Students in elementary schools must have 40 minutes per week; middle school students get two 48-minute sessions every six days; and high school students have five days a week for one full semester. Still, “it is a far cry from daily,� Eggebeen said. Losing weight effectively and making that important to the kids is a priority of the SCASD, she said. The topic of physical education needs to be brought to the home too, the panelists said. McCormick said doing things like not allowing a television in your child’s bedroom and not letting them play four hours of video games every night will trigger results. “Parents have to set an example for (their) children,� he said. Kids also look up to their parents and elders as examples for eating habits. “We teach kids how to overeat,� McCormick said. SCASD food service director Megan Schaper said the district’s schools have been operating under USDA standards for more than 15 years. Prepackaged lunches, which the documentary argues are not nutritious, are being served, but Schaper said SCASD makes sure students get a variety of fruits and vegetables as well as whole grain food options. However, Schaper said if no examples are being set at home with nutrition, kids will carry that to school. Beverages, McCormick said, are one of the biggest culprits in childhood obesity just like it is with adults who are obese. “We’ve sort of taught children if it’s not flavored, sweetened or colored,� he said, “it’s not good.� The documentary also stressed eliminating sugarsweetened drinks like soda, juice and energy drinks from a child’s diet will drastically improve their overall health.

State College Area High Saint Joseph’s announces new principal hire School gets high marks By ALI FOGARTY StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — State College Area High School is getting high marks in the latest rankings published by U.S. News and World Report. The high school was ranked 32nd among Pennsylvania schools. Nationally, the school district’s only high school came in at No. 1,046. The rankings are based on schools’ statewide standardized test scores, advanced placement test performance and evaluations of scores for minority and economically-disadvantaged students, among others. “It’s a recognition that we’re very pleased to have,” said Julie Miller, public

information specialist for State College Area School District, “as we feel we have a comprehensive education.” According to the report, State College Area High School students outnumbered teachers 12-to-1, below the national average of 15-to-1. In addition to this, the U.S. News and World Report rates students as 32 percent prepared for college based on students’ success on advanced placement exams. Of the students who take AP exams, 31 percent successfully pass. Like the student-teacher ratio, the high school’s readiness rating is above the national average. These statistics have given State College Area High School the classification of a “silver medal school.”

Chirieleison has successfully served as a classroom teacher, varsity coach, dean of students, director of admissions, assistant headmaster and headmaster for three college preparatory schools. He will join Saint Joseph’s from Christ School in Arden, N.C., where he has served as assistant headmaster since 2009. “Saint Joseph’s heartily welcomes Chris Chirieleison as the new leader for our school,” said Robert Thomas, chairman of the Saint Joseph’s board of trustees. “Mr. Chirieleison’s calling to serve in a Catholic faith-based educational community combined with his years of experience as a high school teacher and administrator at highly regarded independent schools makes him a great fit for our school.” Before Christ School, Chirieleison worked at The Phelps School in Malvern, ultimately as headmaster. Prior to his years at Phelps he served as an administrator and taught at The Hill School in Pottstown. In addition to a wide range of administrative duties, he has taught history and economics and coached varsity lacrosse. He also is affiliated with the Secular Order of Franciscans and is active with his family in the parish community of Saint Barnabas Roman Catholic Church and Asheville Catholic School, where his three sons attend. Originally from Reading, Chirieleison

holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and a master’s degree in instructional leadership from Penn State University. He played football and lacrosse at John Hopkins University and was a member of the NCAA National Champion lacrosse team in 1987. “I feel very blessed to have this opportunity to serve Saint Joseph’s Catholic Academy as its next principal and to join such a dynamic learning community of students, teachers, parents, and board members,” Chirieleison said. “Having served as a senior administrator at college preparatory schools throughout my career, I consider the vision and program of Saint Joseph’s Catholic Academy to be singularly compelling for its commitment to inculcating the timeless Gospel values of integrity, respect, service, and justice within the context of a 21st Century, college-preparatory curriculum.” He added: “I enthusiastically look forward to serving this remarkable school and bringing my wife and our three sons to Happy Valley.” Saint Joseph’s Catholic Academy is a college preparatory high school and faithbased community located in Boalsburg. Saint Joseph’s provides an environment that fosters a life of faith and academic excellence grounded in the Gospel values of integrity, respect, service and justice. The co-educational school for grades 9 through 12 welcomed its first students in the fall of 2011 and will graduate its first students in 2014.

Bellefonte Education Foundation celebrates teachers By CHERYL EDWARDS For The Gazette

BELLEFONTE — Continuing a tradition of honoring Bellefonte’s educators and alumni while raising money for important endeavors, the Bellefonte Education Foundation held its 2013 Scholarship Benefit Dinner on April 27. Last year, the foundation gave out $65,000 in senior awards. The group also funded mentorship luncheons, a program that matches students with professionals and tradespeople in their primary field of interest. In a luncheon setting, the students are able to ask questions and gain a greater understanding of life in their chosen field. Additionally, the foundation funds teacher mini-grants. Last year, the program provided $3,000 in grants to teachers looking to incorporate innovative elements into the classroom setting. A silent auction introduced at the 2012 Benefit Dinner proved such a success that it was continued this year. Attendees bid on prizes including lottery baskets, a Bellefonte photo collage, an assortment of local Bellefonte products and an ice creamthemed package. During bidding, guests mingled, admired student artwork and lis-

tened to music played by the Bellefonte Area High School jazz band. The string ensemble took over and provided music for the dining portion of the evening. David Provan served as emcee for the awards portion of the event. He began by recognizing retiring board member Gloria Rogers for her 20 years of service as the foundation’s secretary, thanking her on behalf of the foundation and the community as a whole. Provan then moved ahead to present the evening’s awards, often referring to the words used by their peer nominators. The evening’s awards were: ■Volunteer of the Year, Bethany Eicholtz — Despite holding a full-time job and mothering two young boys, Eicholtz dedicates countless hours to volunteering in kindergarten classroom at Benner Elementary.

He dedicated his career to teaching and coaching young people in Centre County and across the country.

B.J. Wetzler Memorial Golf Tournament taking shape By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

MINGOVILLE — The Sixth annual B.J. Wetzler Memorial Golf Tournament continues to grow by leaps and bounds. This year, the tournament will be a two-day event. On Friday, May 10, a banquet will be held for those who are taking part in the tournament. The golfing takes place on Saturday, May 11 at the Nittany Country Club in Mingoville. Tournament director John Wetzler is thrilled that the tournament continues to grow.

zler. B.J. passed away from melanoma cancer on Dec. 22, 2006. She was 27. The tournament raises money for a scholarship that is awarded to a senior member of the Bellefonte Area High School softball team. The B.J. Wetzler Scholarship is maintained by the Bellefonte Education Foundation. The scholarships began as $1,000. However, the growth of the tournament has enabled the Wetzlers to award $1,500. B.J. played several sports in high school. As she got older, she began to love softball.

It’s one of the blessings of growing up in a small town.” The tournament pays tribute to Rebecca Jo (B.J.) Wetzler, the daughter of John and Mary Wet-

“B.J. was a three-sport star,” Wetzler explained. “But softball was her passion. It’s a great feeling to know that her legacy lives on.” The big weekend kicks off on May 10 with the banquet and silent auction. Nittany Country

Club is not available that night, so the banquet will be held at the social hall inside Faith United Methodist Church, 512 Hughes St., Bellefonte. A silent auction will begin at 5:15 and run until about 7:30 p.m. The dinner — turkey and all the trimmings — will begin at 6. You need to be golfing to partake in the dinner, but the silent auction is open to the public. There are some great items available at the silent auction, Wetzler explained. “We’ve got something for everyone,” he said. Some of the items up for auction include: A 2013 Miami Heat basketball autographed by the entire team, Pittsburgh Steelers items autographed by tight end Heath Miller, an NFL football autographed by Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano, Florida State items autographed by coaching legend Bobby Bowden, Pittsburgh Steelers tickets, Pittsburgh Penguins tickets, PGA Tour packages, spa packages and artwork. “We’ve got great items for the sports fans,” Wetzler said. “But we’ve got some nice things even if you’re not a sports fan … the spa package comes to mind. It’s a $2,000 package for five people.” On May 11, the golfing takes

Fifth annual dog jog held at Grange Fairgrounds By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — The Fifth annual Dog Jog 5K Run/Walk was held at the Grange Fairgrounds, in Centre Hall on April 27. The event is a fundraiser for Pets Come First, a non-profit, all volunteer organization which runs the animal shelter in Potter Township. The event is different from the usual running events, since it allows the participating runners to take their dogs with them on the run. There was also a 1.5K walk for those who are a bit smaller, older, or slower — dogs or people. Prizes from local businesses and organizations were awarded to the top male and female finishers in each category. According to event organizers, nearly 200 people were registered to participate. The event has grown larger each year since its inception, and Saturday’s good weather attracted a large crowd of both participants and spectators. Disc jockey Tor Michaels was on hand to provide music for the crowd to enjoy. He took song requests from the audience, and the first requested song was, of course, “Who Let the Dogs Out?” By mid-morning, after registration was completed, the runners — both dog and human — lined up on the pavement at the edge of the Grange Fair midway. Deb Warner, of Pets Come First, signaled and they were off and running. The course made a five kilometer (3.1 miles) serpentine loop around the southern end of the fairgrounds, returning to the finish line near the Grange exhibit buildings. David Eggler of the Nittany Valley Running Club handled the timing duty, recording each runner’s time. In about 20 minutes, runners began crossing the finish line. The first human/dog team across the line was

SAM STITZER/For The Gazette

MORGAN STOVER, age 10, sprints to the finish line with her dog, Nikki. Paul Fritzsche and his dog, Bella. One at a time, or in small groups, the others followed, with the human runners often more exhausted than the dogs. The runners — human and canine — ran the gamut of age and size. Among the youngest runners was 10year-old Morgan Stover of Spring Mills. She ran with one of the smallest dogs in the event, her tiny Yorkshire terrier Nikki, finishing the race in about 32 minutes. Running with Stover were her two grandmothers and two aunts, making the race a true family outing. Both dogs and people helped themselves to water and snacks after the run. Around 11 a.m., the 1.5K (just under a mile) walk began, on the fair midway and followed a loop around the grounds. This gave the smaller and slower dogs a way to get in on the fun. In addition to the running events, an exhibit building was filled with displays by animal-themed organizations and businesses. Several animal rescue groups were present with displays, and representatives informing the public of their many services and activities. Many vendors of pet-related merchandise and foods were present, and a silent auction of items generously donated by local businesses was conducted to raise funds as well.

A GERMAN-MADE Discus two seat sailplane makes a landing at Centre Air Park.

Gliders soar over Potter Township By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — Centre Air Park airport in Potter Township was the site of glider activity on April 21. Gliders — or sailplanes — are a fairly familiar sight on sunny days in the skies of Centre County. These engineless aircraft with their long slender wings and slippery aerodynamic shapes are towed aloft tethered several hundred feet behind a powered airplane. At soaring altitude, the glider is released from the towline and flies free, with its pilot searching for rising warm air currents to stay aloft. But as there is more than one way to skin a cat, as an old saying goes, there is more than one way to launch a glider. This activity at Centre Air Park used a ground-based winch to launch the gliders instead of a tow plane. The trailer-mounted winch, placed on the eastern edge of the 2,600 foot long grass runway, contains a drum of steel cable which can be unrolled to about a 2,000 foot length on the ground. The cable is then attached to a fitting on the glider’s underside, and the winch, powered by a Chevrolet V-

8 engine of over 300 horsepower, pulls the glider forward. Under the power of the winch, the glider lifts off, and then climbs swiftly at a fairly steep angle until it is almost directly over the winch. At that point (about 1,200 feet above the ground) the winch operator throttles back the winch engine, and the glider pilot releases the cable. The glider can then fly for several minutes before coming in for a landing. The winch was brought to Centre Air Park by veteran sailplane pilot Karl Striedieck of Julian. Striedieck is a world record-setting glider pilot and a member of the U.S. Soaring Hall of Fame He was an early pioneer of ridge soaring in the Appalachian Mountains in the 1960s, ultimately setting nine world records flying gliders there. He was selected for the U.S. national soaring team 12 times and won a silver medal in the world championships in 1978 and 1983. Several of Striedieck’s record-setting flights were launched from Bald Eagle Valley here in Centre County. Striedieck said the winch provides a good way for student glider pilots to practice landings without the expense or complication of using a powered tow plane.

Lou Brungard, environmental safety coordinator at Mount Nittany Medical Center, provides the following summer safety advice in a press release by the medical center: ■ Sun safety: The sun’s ultraviolet rays can burn and damage the skin, so protect the skin by using appropriate sunscreen, with sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15. Also, minimize the direct sun exposure for infants and children by placing sandboxes and other play areas in partially shaded portions of the yard. Avoid direct sun exposure between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.; these are the hours of the peak intensity. ■ Grilling and picnic safety: We all enjoy family picnics, cookouts, and barbeques. While preparing the food, keep all raw meat and their juices away from other food and serving items. Ensure that the meat is cooked thoroughly by measuring the core temperature of the food item; poultry at 170 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit, steaks and filets of red meat at 145 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit, any ground meat at 160 degrees Fahrenheit, all pork products at 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the cooking is done, never let food sit outside for longer than one hour, especially when temperatures are 85 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. ■ Water safety: What better way to beat the heat than to take a swim, right? Well, there are plenty of risks and hazards that are associated with swimming pools, lakes, creeks, rivers and the oceans we may visit throughout the summer. The best rule of thumb for water safety is to never swim by yourself. Other common recommendations include the use of personal floatation devices (PFD) while boating, being familiar with the waterways you are navigating or swimming in, and take frequent breaks. ■ Camping and hiking safety: Camping and hiking can be a great summertime family and friend experience. Plan your trips or hikes, know the area that you are going to visit and pack appropriate items such as a first aid kit, lots of clean water for drinking and hand washing, bug spray, and your sun screen. While visiting the wilderness understand we are in other creatures’ normal habitat. We are visitors to their house. Just before leaving to return to the trail or site, always sweep the area back to the way you discovered it and pick up all trash. Be observant of the surroundings. Be aware of bugs, bees, spiders and snakes, and have an idea of their key characteristics and the health risks of their stings and bites. Camping usually includes a campfire. Maintain safe distances around the campfire, particularly for children. This is recommended to be at least one to one and a half times their height. Always have a pail of water or fire extinguisher readily available. ■ Wound care: There are some simple first aid techniques that everyone should understand to help minimize the effects of burns and bites, cuts and bruises that we all have experienced throughout our summertime activities. For burns, be sure to remove the heat source as quickly as possible, keep the burned area clean and bandaged. There are commercial burn ointments and creams to help treat small burns. Seek immediate medical attention if you have partial thickness (second degree with blistering) burns. Burn injuries can be a significant source for infection and can become very difficult to manage. Bites and stings can have several different affects. First, try to identify the insect, reptile or animal. Anyone who is allergic to stings or in the event of a poisonous snakebite seek immediate medical attention. Cuts and bruises are probably the most common summertime injury. Cut or wound care can be very simple. Control and stop the

bleeding, clean the area and cover with a bandage. Keep the wound clean and dressed. Bruises or contusions can be treated following the simple principles of RICE: Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. According to Dr. Matthew Silvis, of the family and community medicine department at Penn State Hershey Medical Center, late summer is the most critical time of the year to take precautions against heat-related illnesses in adolescents. “These kids have had the summer off, and may or may not have followed their coach’s recommendations for conditioning or may not be acclimated to the heat — so when they go to those first few practices it’s a total shock to their system, whether it’s the hottest part of the day or not,” he said in a Medical Minute press release by Penn State Hershey Medical Center. In addition to reducing performance, heat can cause illnesses or health complications that can be potentially lifethreatening to student-athletes, CHRIS MORELLI/The Gazette such as heat cramps, heat exhaustion, or heat stroke.

Perfect 10 Lady Mounties blank Lady Eagles, notch 10th win of the season By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

MILESBURG — Unlike the first meeting between softball heavyweights Philipsburg-Osceola and Bald Eagle Area, P-O coach Jim Gonder didn’t have to make many big decisions in meeting number two on Monday afternoon. Just put Kate Burge on the mound, let the hitters swing away, and play good defense. That’s it. And all the Mounties needed as Burge pitched a no-walk, six strikeout, two hitter, catcher Carly Gonder homered, and the P-O defenders played error-free ball in the Mounties 4-0 victory at the Milesburg Little League Complex. It was Philipsburg’s 10th win of the season, against one loss, and it completed the season’s two-game sweep of the heated rival Lady Eagles. “Our infield defense played really well,” Jim Gonder said, “and Kate (Burge) continues to keep the ball down and let our infield play. We have a really strong infield, and you saw them making the plays. “Kate was getting ahead in the count, throwing a lot of strikes, and you got to feel good with her pitching and our defense. Good things are going to happen.” Those good things began happening for P-O in the fourth inning. With the game a pitching duel between BEA’s Megan Dudish,

Carly Gonder, after a pep talk by coach Gonder, led off the fourth inning with a towering

home run over the left-center field wall for a home run and PO’s first run of the game. Carly Gonder’s homer seemed to ignite the Mounties. Mackenzie Burge then followed with a triple down the right-field line, and she scored one batter later

with Kate Burge’s sacrifice fly. “I wasn’t sure it was over,” Carly Gonder said. “I was still going hard into second. Coach told us her first pitch was up, so I was looking for a first-pitch fastball and it worked out for me.” With a 2-0 lead now, Kate

Burge got down to work. She retired the side in order in the bottom of the fourth inning and then in the fifth as well. “Their hitters, you have to go at them strong with each pitch,” Kate Burge said, “or they’re going to put it in play. So you have make sure every spin is working and every fast ball is as fast as you can throw it. “They’re a good hitting team, so their coach probably strives for them to hit the first pitch because me as a pitcher, I want to get that first pitch (in). If you’re aggressive like that, it just makes me think extra careful what I throw and that I have to spin everything more precise to get it where I need it to go.” Still ahead by only two going into the sixth, the Mounties added two insurance runs in the inning and upped their lead to 4-0. An RBI groundout by Mackenzie Burge that scored Haley Frank and an RBI single by Abby Showers accounted for the runs that gave Kate Burge more than she would need to complete the win. “It feels good,” she said. “The strikeouts, they’ll come. It just makes me feel good that I can get my defense something and we can show what we do in practice. “It makes you feel really good that we just beat a really good team. It makes you feel that much better about yourself, but that tomorrow we are going to have to go that much harder. It doesn’t matter who we are playing, we have to go hard the whole game.”

Strange Days Penns Valley tops P-O in wild affair, 9-7 By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

PHILIPSBURG — There were as many twists and turns, surprises, and strange happenings in the Penns Valley-Philipsburg-Osceola baseball game last Friday as there are in a mystery novel. The game featured 23 hits, 16 runs, 8 errors, 4 lead changes, 20 men left on base, bad hops, lost fly balls, and a crucial lateinning catcher’s interference call. It wasn’t until the last page — the top of the seventh inning — that Penns Valley pushed across the go-ahead two runs, and then winning pitcher Cam Tobias finally closed the case on the Rams’ 9-7 Mountain League victory with his only perfect, 1-2-3 inning of the game. Wyatt Sharp, who went 4-for-5 in the game, hit a bases-loaded, two run single in the top of the seventh that scored Logan Coursen and Taylor Collison with the winning runs. The line drive in the gap between third and short gave PV its fourth victory of the season and broke a four-game Ram losing streak. Tobias pitched a complete game for the Rams in which nothing was easy. He gave up nine hits and five earned runs, walked two, and struck out four and had to right himself twice after giving up two, three-run Mountie rallies. When he struck out a swinging Caleb Pepperday to end the game with a fast ball, Tobias pumped his fist in the air and let out a yell in a display of part happiness and part relief. “I was feeding off the fuel of our team being enthusiastic and fired up,” Tobias said. “It was getting exciting there at the end because we wanted to win really bad. I was just focused on doing my job and getting strikes and getting us out of innings.” Tobias found that difficult, especially in

the early innings. After the Rams took an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first when Tobias singled in Cody Luse, P-O answered in the bottom of the inning with a threerun rally. Mark Curtis, Cody Ammerman and Nick Gray all had RBIs in the inning as the Mounties took a 3-1 lead. They increased that lead to 4-1 in the second when Matt Carpin singled in Aaron Mason from second base. Penns Valley wasted no time in coming back from that deficit, tying the game at four in the top of the third. Singles by Sharp, Max Bair, and Luke Weaver sandwiched around a walk to Tobias and a fielder’s choice RBI grounder by David Fox accounted for the runs. The Rams then promptly went ahead in the fourth after a sacrifice fly by Bair made the score 5-4. “I was just trying to do my job and get hits,” Sharp said. “The team did an excellent job of hitting today, lots of talking, it was awesome. “Today we were just on top of it. The talking we did just brought everyone up.” That talking must have carried into the top of the sixth for the Rams as they apparently took control of the game with two more runs that made the score 7-4 going into the final six Mountie outs. Singles by Luse, Tobias, and Weaver, along with an error and another RBI ground out by Fox handed Tobias a threerun lead with just two innings to play. The bottom of the sixth, however, would prove to be an adventure for the Rams. After two routine outs to start the inning, Taylor Golemboski walked and Mason stepped up. Tobias apparently struck out Mason with a high fastball to end the inning, but the umpire called catcher’s interference on PV catcher Colton Treaster, which put runners on first and second with two outs. Carpin then followed with a line-drive

double that scored Golemboski and put the tying runs in scoring position. Curtis followed with what looked like a routine grounder to second, but the ball somehow skipped past Collison into right field, scoring Mason and Carpin and tying the score at 7-7 with an inning to play. “When we came into the dougout afterwards,” Tobias said about the sixth inning, “we knew we could hit and we knew we were still in this ball game. We weren’t going to get down on ourselves and we were going to take each at bat one step at a time.” That approach worked as Coursen walked to open the seventh for the Rams, Collison reached on an error, and then Luse singled to load the bases and set the stage for Sharp’s big hit and Tobias’ strongest inning. “They (the Rams) did a good job of being very resilient,” PV coach Chuck Romig said. “Philipsburg battled back a few times and made the game tight and tied it up there in the late innings. We did a good job of that passive-aggression you need as a baseball team offensively. You need to take what the pitcher is going to give you and know when to be aggressive. We did a great job of that today.” Besides Sharp’s four hits, PV also got three hits from Tobias and two each from Luse, Bair, and Weaver. For the Mounties, Carpin went 4-for-4, with a double and two RBIs, and Ammerman chipped in with two hits. “It’s a good feeling to beat teams that we’ve lost to in the past,” Tobias said, “and especially a team that has been so good. “We are moving forward. We have to come back to work tomorrow for our tournament at Portage (where the Rams got two wins and the championship). It will be a good season. Our attitude will be up now, and we know we can hang with a lot of teams.”

Lady Mounties click on all cylinders in rout of Lady Raiders By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — Talk about your big innings. The Philipsburg-Osceola High School softball team had four of them against rival Bellefonte in a surprisingly easy 12-1 win over the Lady Red Raiders at O’Leary Fields on a sun-splashed Friday afternoon. P-O put up three runs in both the first and second innings, tacked on four in the fifth and two in the seventh to take care of business. According to longtime P-O coach Jim Gonder, he didn’t expect the game to be as lopsided as it was. “Bellefonte has a great program and they’re coached well. I didn’t expect that,� Gonder said. “We got some breaks early and that was probably the key.� For the Lady Raiders (5-5), it was easily the worst outing of the season. The Lady Mounties knocked the ball all over yard. They had four extra-base hits in the first two innings to blow things open. Bellefonte coach Gregg Kohlhepp was impressed with the way P-O hit the ball, “They come at you with a very solid lineup. They’re a very strong team to play against and you can’t give them extra outs,� Kohlhepp said. “If you give them four, five outs an inning and they’ll make you pay for it. They certainly did.� P-O stormed out of the gate like a team eager to erase memories of its last trip to

O’Leary Fields — a 14-1 drubbing at the hands of the Lady Raiders. After a ground out to start the game, Carly Gonder singled. Mackenzie Burge reached on an error and Katie Burge hit into a force play. Just when it appeared that the Lady Raiders might be getting out of the frame without any damage, Abby Showers ripped a two-run triple to the gap in left-center field to make it 2-0. Aisha Goss followed with a triple to right, increasing P-O’s lead to 3-0. In the second inning, P-O added three more. Megan Bainey got things started with a double to left. After a sacrifice moved her to third, Haley Frank cashed her in with an RBI triple to right field. Gonder walked to put runners at the corners. Mackenzie Burge singled to right, scoring two more. Just like that, it was 6-0. In addition to the extra-base hits, Bellefonte had a pair of miscues in the first two innings. “After that, it’s tough to come back. You make mistakes in the field and it’s going to cost you on the scoreboard,� Kohlhepp said. Showers and Goss were the hitting stars for P-O. Showers went 2-for-3 with a pair of RBIs, while Goss went 3-for-4 with a couple of RBIs as well. The 6-0 lead was huge, according to Gonder. “It puts a lot of pressure on the other team, first of all, because they didn’t think they’d have to score that many runs. It re-

In that inning, Goss had the big hit, a two-run single to center. Gonder was pleased to see his squad put the hammer down, even with a big lead.

“I think the kids realized that this is a good team and six runs really isn’t safe and we’ve gotta keep playing for more runs. We took advantage of whatever they were going to give us,� Gonder said. Bellefonte was led by catcher Vanessa Cooper, who went 3-for-3 with a double. During his postgame meeting on the hill in right field with his team, Kohlhepp told his squad to have a short memory. Simply put, forget about the loss and move on. “We just talked about that. We have enough talent and skill that if we play together — first pitch to last out, they’ll win their share of games, a bunch of games,� he said. “But we can’t stop playing because it’s not going our way. It’s tough, but I’m confident we’ll bounce back.�

Bald Eagle Area hangs on for win over P-O, 5-2 By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

PHILIPSBURG — After cruising past Philipsburg-Osceola by 13 runs earlier in the season, it would have been understandable if the Bald Eagle Area players came into the rematch on Tuesday afternoon a bit complacent. They are fortunate that they didn’t. The Eagles and coach Jim Gardner rightly expected a much different Mountie team than the one they faced early in April, and that’s exactly what they got. P-O, upbeat and enthusiastic all afternoon despite being on a six-game losing streak, gave BEA all it could handle in a closely played game that could have gone either way. But BEA pushed across two runs in the top of the fifth inning on a wild pitch and a sacrifice fly, and then gave pitcher Nate Cleaver an insurance run in the seventh to hang on for a 5-2 Mountain League victory at Philipsburg. Cleaver pitched a complete game for the Eagles, giving up four hits and striking out nine, and Ben Verbitskey and Gage Gardner each had two hits to lead BEA, but P-O was never more than a swing or two away all day. “This is what I told the kids,� Gardner said. “There’s a lot of baseball tradition here, and we’re up here and we respect them. We have to be ready to play the game because they’re not going to lay down for us. No way Philipsburg is going to do that. “We needed to come here ready to go. Were we a little flat? I don’t know. This is the way the game goes. We were fortunate to win today, and Nate (Cleaver) pitched a good game for us.�

BEA started out anything but flat. The Eagles put up two runs in the first inning on a sacrifice fly by Ryan Dyke and an RBI single by Cole Long. P-O pitcher Curtis Matsko, however, struck out Verbitskey to end the inning and denied BEA a big rally. Matsko then hung three consecutive zeros on BEA and allowed his team to catch up. In the bottom of the third inning, Matt Carpin nailed a Cleaver fastball far over the left field fence for a home run that cut BEA’s lead to one. Then in the fourth, Nick Gray singled, stole second, and then scored on Caleb Pepperday’s single to tie the game at 2-2. “After I gave up the home run,� Cleaver said, “I realized that I wasn’t going to get over with just throwing strikes. I was going to have to do a little bit better job of locating pitches. “I’ve given up home runs before, it’s not the first, but I realized that I definitely have to locate my pitches a little bit better and do a better job of working the ball down on them.� With the game now tied and going into the fifth inning, BEA was under pressure to respond, and they did. Gage Gardner opened the inning with a single, stole second, and then went to third when Bryan Greene reached base on an error. With runners at the corners, Greene broke for second, but Matsko’s pitch was low and away and got past catcher Derek Shaw for a wild pitch. Gardner scored, and Greene ended up at third. Logan Reese then hit a blooping fly ball to short right field that was caught by second baseman Travis Arnold, but Greene was still able to score easily with BEA’s fourth run.

Sinclair signs letter of intent with St. Francis By MARY ELDER For The Gazette

BELLEFONTE — Alyssa Sinclair always dreamed about playing golf at the collegiate level. On April 17, those dreams became a reality when she signed a letter of intent to play at St. Francis College in Brooklyn, N.Y. Sinclair is a senior at Bellefonte Area High School. “In order to achieve my dream, I had to put in many hours of practice. For the past five summers I was on the golf course practically every day. I competed in The Philadelphia Junior Tour, The U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship and the PGA Junior Series,� Sinclair said. For the past two years, Sinclair has been the lowest scorer on the squad. She also set a school record, shooting a 78 at the Dis-

trict 6 championships. “Alyssa was constantly setting goals to win each match, but she also set goals of beating her own scores. She has so much passion for the sport and as an athlete who has been playing since she was eight years old, she still has the same fire and desire to achieve those goals, set records, and break school records,� said Bellefonte coach Myken Poorman. “Even though she was competing, she was still having fun. Golf is a head game ... you mess up once and it can throw off the rest of the match. Alyssa was really good at not letting it go to her head. If she didn’t play a hole as well as she thought she could have, she would shake it off and keep going. As a teenage athlete, this shows great sportsmanship and character.� Although Sinclair is continuing her golf career at St. Francis College, she is also de-

I would also love to have the opportunity to help my team win the Northeast Conference Championships, and ultimately to qualify to compete in the national championships,� she said. Sinclair’s resume is impressive. She is a two-time MVP in the Mountain League and recently led the Lady Raiders to a undefeated season in which she fired a 40 to lead Bellefonte to the top team score at the Elks Country Club to close out the Mountain League regular season. Back in 2012, she led the Lady Raiders to a undefeated season of 7-0 in which they

captured the Mountain League Championship. Sinclair shot a team-low 88. In 2010, when Sinclair was a sophomore, she finished third at the District 6 Championships. Many people helped Sinclair achieve her goals of playing golf at the collegiate level. Her career started when she was 8 years old and the people around her kept her on the right track. “My parents were instrumental in helping me achieve my goals. My entire family sacrificed so much for me along the way,� she said. “Words can’t even explain how grateful I am for everything that they have done for me.�

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Ballet Theatre of State College to hold Spring Gala By ANNE WALKER For The Gazette

STATE COLLEGE — The 14 dancers of Ballet Theatre of State College and 80 of their young friends from the Performing Arts School of Central PA will usher in the season with their Spring Gala on May 10 and 11 at the State Theatre in downtown State College. Showtime on the May 10 will be at 7 p.m. There are two shows on May 11, at 3 and 7 p.m. Tickets are $21 for adults, $18 for seniors and $11 for students. The program will open with BTSC performing a waltz “in a magic clearing somewhere in the woods,” according to show director Rebecca Maciejczyk. Set to Johann Strauss’ “De Fledermaus,” the piece exudes excitement at finding such a joyful place to dance. The dancers bound offstage in conclusion, transitioning the stage into a new place for the next piece. “The Enchanted Garden” opens at dawn in a spring garden. The younger dancers take turns portraying everything you would find there. They float and flutter, hop and hover and skip and scamper like bumblebees, hummingbirds, bluebirds, water sprites and even spiders. “The 6-to-7-year-old boys get to be spiders,” Maciejczyk explained, “and they even try to catch a fly.” The handmade set features huge daf-

fodils, garden mushrooms, an oversized ladybug and a giant butterfly. Accompaniment includes such varied composers as Mozart, Bizet, Chopin and Benjamin Britten. The second act opens with a peasant dance from a rarely-seen 19th century ballet called “La Vivandiere” by Cesare Pugni. The 13-minute excerpt for four women

If you go Who: Ballet Theatre of State College What: Spring Gala When: May 10 (7 p.m.) and 11 (3 p.m., 7 p.m.) Where: State Theatre and a lead couple “has moments of very free dancing followed by slow, thoughtful technique,” according to Maciejczyk. “It’s very romantic and technically challenging because the dancers have to move together in close proximity, like a school of fish.” Next four dancers take the stage to perform the Garland Dance from Tchaikovsky’s “Sleeping Beauty.” Maciejczyk choreographed the Garland Dance herself, but sticks to the original Petipa choreography for the next two dances, the Diamond and Ruby variations featuring “some of the brightest, quickest work,” she said.

A mazurka, a waltz and a prelude from Chopin’s “Les Sylphide,” featuring Michel Fokine’s 1909 choreography demands that the dancers “look full of life without moving that much,” Maciejczyk said. But the dances do have plenty of movement, demonstrating the performers’ capabilities. A piece by Lane Grosser called “Parasol” makes Maciejczyk “think of dancing on the beach.” She describes it as “spunky.” This piece will appear Friday evening, while “Angelica” by local veteran choreographer Ann Van Kuren will be performed Saturday afternoon. Both pieces are on the program for Saturday night. According to Maciejczyk, “Angelica” is a challenge for any dancer. “The dancers have to rely on each other — they literally balance on one another,” she said. To close the performance, Maciejczyk created a piece called “The Sun Whose Rays,” set to a Gilbert and Sullivan aria from “The Mikado.” The dancers will share the stage with local pianist Cecilia Dunoyer and vocalist Natalia Orlovskaia. “Two dancers will be the sun and two will be the moon,” she said. “The goal is to describe poetic lyrics through movement.” The finale will include all dancers in a Strauss waltz, similar to the opening. The entire company onstage together concludes an evening of eclectic selections all

‘Smile’ coming State Theatre By ANNE WALKER For The Gazette

STATE COLLEGE — Singing on Stage, under the direction of Richard Biever, will present the Marvin Hamlisch/Howard Ashman musical, “Smile” at 7:30 p.m. on May 7 at the State Theatre. Tickets are $13. The original Broadway production opened in 1986 and closed after 48 performances, having suffered scathing reviews. But that doesn’t deter Biever.

If you go What: “Smile” When: 7:30 p.m., May 7 Where: State Theatre, State College More information: thestatetheatre.org “My wife and I have a demo tape,” he said, “we listen to it all the time and just fell in love with it.” Smile tells the tales of 13 beauty pageant contestants and all the backstage goings-on at the fictional Young American Miss competition in Santa Rosa, Calif. A wonderfully cheesy couple, Brenda (Heidi Biever) and her used-car salesman husband Big Bob (Mike Waldhier) coordinate and judge the contest, respectively. Biever and Waldhier have great chemistry and their dialogue in the early scenes sets up the comical tone of the show. The couple has a 12-year-old son, Little Bob (Eli Yurman) who takes an unwholesome interest in the contestants. Yurman

doesn’t shy away from depicting his character as a typically lewd pre-adolescent boy. Of course, the contest participants know nothing about the young letch. They arrive in Santa Rosa, get settled in and meet the pageant choreographer, Tommy French (James McReady) who wants more than anything to channel Bob Fosse, complete with cigarette hanging from his mouth. McReady interprets the character’s condescension and boredom with ease. The girls perform plenty of song-anddance numbers throughout the show. Said Biever: “Every girl is in every piece. It’s a great show to do for them.” The young women have strong voices that can carry the Hamlisch melodies with expression and projection. They also can dance. Real-life choreographer Jill Brighton has given them jazzy, syncopated movement, with lots of directional changes and weight shifts and they execute it like pros. Portraying pageant contestants are: Madeline Biever, Emily Dennis, Kaitlyn Warner, Clara Hanahan, Maddie Myford, Aly Toso, Zoe Small, Kylie Schultz, Katey Crean, Lydia Malcolm, Erin Bevilacqua, Kayley Gaines and Ajane Holliday. Due to some strong language and adult content, Biever cautions that parents may find the show inappropriate for children under 12. But mature audiences will appreciate the humor and off-color situations. Biever comments that he “likes to look at Broadway shows that didn’t succeed.” In his hands, it appears this one will.

UNIVERSITY PARK — A Penn State literary scholar, James L. W. West III, the Edwin Erle Sparks professor of English, has played a key behind-the-scenes role as a consultant to the director and cast of the upcoming Warner Brothers film “The Great Gatsby.” The film, starring Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan and Leonardo DeCaprio as Jay Gatsby, could lure a new audience to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel, which tells the story of a mysterious millionaire named Jay Gatsby who tries to win back the love of his life, Daisy, by buying a mansion near her Long Island home and throwing outrageous parties. West is general editor of the Cambridge Edition of the Works of F. Scott Fitzgerald, and published “Trimalchio: An Early Version of ‘The Great Gatsby’” in 2000. The film’s director, Baz Luhrmann, contacted West to ask questions about historical features of the novel, such as the differences between the servants of Gatsby and the

Buchanans, and the model of Gatsby’s car (it’s a Duesenberg, not a Rolls Royce.) The cast were required by Luhrmann to read “Trimalchio” as well as “The Great Gatsby.” West also is director of the Penn State Center for the History of the Book and a faculty affiliate of The Center for American Literary Studies. According to a Wall Street Journal article, DiCaprio’s Gatsby seems more menacing and violent than his well-mannered literary counterpart. The Penn State scholar confirmed that a rougher version of Gatsby actually fits with Fitzgerald’s original conception of the character. In “Trimalchio,” Gatsby is “hiding a kind of violence in his nature, a ruthlessness, that you don’t really see in ‘The Great Gatsby,’” he said. While “The Great Gatsby” was initially a commercial disappointment, the novel was later judged by some critics as Fitzgerald’s finest work. In a letter to Fitzgerald, T.S. Eliot called the novel “the first step that American fiction has taken since Henry James.”

Sales are rung up at the former tellers’ windows, and the bank vault, with its door chained open and still containing safety deposit boxes, is filled with books. The bank’s metal ceiling and pendant-style lights remain intact. The store also features a pair of twoperson wooden restaurant booths in the front of the building for customers to read and enjoy a snack of ice cream, potato chips and soda, which are also for sale. Customers can enjoy their snacks while savoring the view of picturesque Rebersburg through the building’s large tinted glass windows facing Main Street. Two rooms in the rear of the building house Main Street Yarn, managed by Kim Bierly. She is assisted by Libby Beiler of Lewisburg. Beiler is a member of the Time Warp Weaving Team which has won six of the last 11 “Sheep to Shawl” contests at the annual Pennsylvania Farm

REBERSBURG — A new bookstore and yarn shop has opened in Rebersburg. Forefathers Book Store and Main Street Yarn now occupy the former First National Bank building at 121 E. Main St. along state Route 192. The stores are owned and operated by Keith Bierly and his wife, Kim. The Bierly’s live in Centre Hall, but Keith Bierly was raised in Rebersburg, just a few houses away from the new bookstore. His family has lived in Rebersburg for generations, reaching back to 1790. He and Kim were looking for a building to locate their stores, and when the bank building came up for sale last fall, they jumped at the chance to buy it, closing the deal in November, 2012. Keith Bierly served as a Centre County Commissioner for 16 years and as a District Justice for 12 years, and now spends time as a political consultant, as well as a storekeeper. He holds a bachelor’s degree in political science from Lock Haven University and a master’s degree in American politics from Penn State. He has a love for politics, history and books. “We have over 10,000 books and about 6,000 of them are biographies,” said Bierly. His inventory includes biographies of all 44 U.S. Presidents, many first ladies, senate leaders, Supreme Court justices and American historical figures. His books are not limited to politics and history, howev-

SPE Federal Credit Union holds annual Shred Day From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — SPE Federal Credit Union is holding its ninth annual Community Shred Day from 9 a.m. until noon on May 4 in the credit union’s parking lot at 650 North Science Park Road in State College. Community Shred Day provides everyone with the opportunity to bring out of date personal records to the credit union

for destruction. The shredding is done by Knisely Mobile Shredding, the only licensed security shredding service in Pennsylvania. Two of their large commercial shredding trucks will be at the credit union destroying documents on site. Credit union members may shred up to 100 pounds for free. Quantities over 100 pounds will be processed for 20 cents per pound. Non-members may shred up to 100

pounds of documents by donating two large boxes of cereal or paying 20 cents per pound. All food and money collected are donated to the Centre Region Food Banks. “An estimated 12.6 million people were victims of identity theft in 2012. That’s a million more than 2011 and the second highest total since the Federal Trade Commission began keeping statistics on this topic. Forty-three percent of identity thefts

occur from stolen wallets, check books, credit cards, billing statements, or other physical documents� said Russell Brooks, SPE president and CEO. “We see this as a great opportunity to help people safely dispose of out of date documents that pose a potential risk to their financial well being. This event also helps us extend our efforts to educate consumers about the ways to reduce the risk of identity theft,� Brooks said.

Hearing tests are always free. Not a medical exam. Audiometric test to determine proper amplification needs only. Good only from participating Miracle-Ear representatives. Hearing aids do not restore natural hearing. Individual experiences vary depending upon severity of hearing loss, accuracy of evaluation, proper fit and ability to adapt to amplification. A Miracle-Ear representative can determine which models and options may be right for you.
