Standoff locks down schools By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

PLEASANT GAP — A two-hour standoff in Pleasant Gap ended peacefully on Monday after a man was taken into custody. The man, who has not been identified by police, barricaded himself in his family’s South Main Street Home. The situation resulted in both Pleasant Gap Elementary School and the Central Pennsylvania Institute of Science and Technology being locked down Monday afternoon. Part of South Main and Locust streets were closed by po-

lice. The Pleasant Gap school is less than a half-mile from the scene. According to Bellefonte Area School District superintendent Cheryl Potteiger, the school received a call from police around 12:10 p.m. asking them to initiate lockdown procedures. “The principal received a call from police to go to lockdown. I got the call and immediately went to the school. We sent the children back to their classrooms and worked with police during the lockdown,” Potteiger said.

POLICE PRESENCE: A family disturbance led to the lockdown of two area schools on Monday afternoon.

UNIVERSITY PARK — An insufficient food supply and its impact on childhood hunger and obesity was discussed Thursday on campus as part of a presentation by a Penn State nutrition graduate student committed to public awareness. Jacinda Li, host of “Fighting Hunger in the Community,” is a Kids Eat Right Campaign member for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the world’s largest organization of food and nutrition professionals. Part of her work involves volunteering in the community to address issues such as these. The presentation, supported by a grant from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, focused on how children can be both hungry and overweight at the same time, and it identified ways people in the communi-

ty can help address the problem. Li, who hosted the presentation at the Bennett Pierce Living Center in Henderson, said people across the world and millions of Americans suffer from starvation or fear of starvation. Food security, she said, is defined as access by all people at all times to enough nutritious food for an active, healthy life. Those who are food insecure, Li explained, may skip meals or ration their food. A few factors contribute to food insecurity, such as food cost, which isn’t only associated with money or prices. There are a variety of “hidden costs,” such as time required to prepare the food, Li said. “For a lot of low income families, time is money,” she said.

5K run/walk to benefit Kyle Russell Callahan scholarship By MARJORIE S. MILLER mmiller@centrecountygazette.com

PORT MATILDA — To help carry on the name and spirit of their late son, State College residents Kim and Justin Callahan host a race every year that benefits a scholarship in his name.

KYLE’S RACE The Fourth annual 5K Run/Walk Benefitting the Kyle Russell Callahan Scholarship will be held at 9 a.m. on July 20 at Circleville Park in Port Matilda. An event that draws some 150 participants, the race brought in about $12,000 last year for the scholarship, said Kim Callahan. The scholarship, which was established in 2009, provides money to State College Area High students interested in pursuing a career in the medOpinion .............................. 7 Health & Wellness ......... 8, 9

ical field. Over the years about $60,000 has been collected. Each year a student recipient is chosen to receive the scholarship, Callahan said, based on a variety of guidelines she and Justin set. These include a 3.5 grade point average, plans to study medicine, and characteristics of kindness, compassion and love. “The person that is selected to receive this scholarship in Kyle’s name should have all of these qualities; above all realizing that life, no matter how short or long, is something to be cherished,” she said. “We, Kyle’s family, believe that the recipient of this scholarship can proactively change the life of another in a positive way, just as Kyle did for us.”

Hunger, from page 1 Other hidden costs come from equipment for heating or refrigerating food, or from transportation to get food. Food availability and access to sufficient resources, additionally, are other factors that play a role in food insecurity, Li said. As of January 2013, more than 50 million Americans, or 1 in 6, are food insecure in the United States. And nearly 17 million children are food insecure, she said. Those who are food insecure or suffer from poverty often are likely to be overweight or obese, Li said. More than one-third of adults in the United States are obese, and 17 percent of children in the United States are obese, as of February 2013, Li said. Just because someone is overweight does not mean he or she has an adequate food supply; food insecurity is linked to being overweight, she said. People who are food insecure may exhibit behaviors such as hoarding and bingeing to overcompensate. Certain factors can add to this problem, such as lack of access to or limited availability of healthy foods, or high exposure to unhealthy foods, Li said. Healthy foods tend to be more expensive, and nutrientdense foods, like fresh produce, require refrigeration. Low income families opt for more convenient and cheaper foods, or food that doesn’t require refrigeration or preparation. “All of these factors can contribute to children’s risk of (being) overweight or obese even though they’re hungry,� Li said. Another factor, she explained, is disrupted meal patterns, or inconsistent meal times and eating. Irregular access to food, Li said, may result in overeating. And wide swings in consumption have been known to affect metabolism. Insecurity and obesity affect children on a variety of levels, Li said, including in health and development. Children who suffer from food insecurity may face iron deficiency,

PAGE 3

asthma, delayed cognitive development, headaches, colds, depression and anxiety. Additionally, children who are overweight or obese have higher chances of developing type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and some cancers, she said. Research has shown that children who are teased for being overweight tend to develop eating disorders later in life, Li said. Overweight children are 50 to 80 percent more likely than their peers to be obese as adults. Besides an array of health problems, children suffering from food insecurity may display problems at school and with learning, such as poor academic performance and difficulty getting along with others, Li said. “All of these contribute to the achievement gap,� she explained about the “negative spiral� of someone being food insecure, getting a poor education, and, in turn, growing up and becoming food insecure, or raising a food insecure family later in life. Li said there are a variety of programs and agencies in the local community that address this problem, such as school meals, summer food service programs, food banks and food pantries, farm-to-school programs, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and Women, Infants and Children, or WIC. Li said it’s important to not only identify local organizations, but to find ways to expand them, or make sure they address local people and growing problems. “How can we optimize on what already exists?� she said.

Standoff, from page 1 According to the Spring Township Police Department, a family member called 911 following an incident at 11:55 a.m. The unidentified caller said a family member was having a crisis and mentioned a weapon. “I got the call and while I was en route to the home. We decided to call for the lockdown,â€? said Spring Township Police Sgt. Michael Danneker. “Obviously, the community, the school ‌ those are our No. 1 priorities.â€? After arriving at the home, police set up a mobile command center near the school and the region’s armored police truck arrived on scene. “This started out as a father-son domestic incident and escalated,â€? Danneker said. The man eventually surrendered around 2:30 p.m. after speaking with a SWAT team negotiator. Police did not say whether a weapon was found or not. As of press time, police said they were still considering whether to file charges. Police did not identify those involved in the incident. “At this time, he has not been charged,â€? Danneker said. While Potteiger declined to discuss specifics regarding the lockdown procedure, she did say that everything ran smoothly.

PLEASANT GAP Elementary School was locked down for a couple of hours on Monday afternoon following an incident at a nearby home in which a man barricaded himself inside. the safety procedures. However, Potteiger said that things couldn’t have run anymore smoothly, considering the situation. Although the road leading to the school was blocked, some parents gathered near the scene and were able to pick their children up from school after the man was taken into custody. According to Sgt. Michael Danneker of the Spring Township Police Department, the operation went off without a hitch. Potteiger was pleased with the way procedures were carried out. “We talk about this all the time,â€? she said. “The staff, the police ‌ they did a wonderful job. When it comes to our kids, we can never be too safe.â€? Jaime Harter, mother of fourth-grader Dylan Harter, thought the school handled the situation as best as it could. “I feel the Pleasant Gap Elementary School handed the situation appropriately with the lockdown as well as kept the parents informed in a timely manner, which was greatly appreciated,â€? she said.

“I thought the staff did a wonderful job in all areas. We’d actually done a lockdown drill about a month ago, so the staff knew what to expect and they executed the procedure extremely well,� she said. Danneker agreed. “I thought things were handled about as well as they could have been,� he said. Inside the school, teachers were trying to keep children calm. After returning to classrooms and locking doors, the day continued as normal. “They continued to teach during the lockdown,� Potteiger said. As the situation outside the school continued, Potteiger and her staff made contingency plans if the lockdown were to continue into the late afternoon. “While I can’t get into specifics, we had an alternative plan for transportation,� she said, “but if we needed to remain inside the school, we’ve got enough water and enough food to last quite awhile.� It is the district’s policy not to get into specifics about

Run/walk, from page 1 The first 5K was held in 2010 in State College, though the Callahans were living in Denver, Colo. at the time. Being from the State College area, that’s where they wanted the race to be, Kim Callahan said. “Despite living so far away to plan those first three 5Ks, we have so much family and friend support that made it possible,” she said. The Callahans’ friends and family help set up the course and registration on race day, as well as supply food and other needed supplies, Kim Callahan said. “My husband, daughter and I are so blessed to have such a solid foundation because without them, this wouldn’t be possible,” she said. Kim Callahan said the race enables herself and Justin to channel their grief in a positive way. The 5K not only carries on Kyle’s name, it will hopefully help a student get through school via the scholarship, and it brings family and friends together for a weekend, which is what Kyle did, she said. “It’s a gift,” Kim Callahan said.

KYLE’S LEGACY Kyle was born, and passed away, in February 2009, Kim Callahan said. During week 16 of her pregnancy, she had undergone some tests which revealed various health issues with Kyle, including enlarged kidneys. Kim was told Kyle probably wouldn’t be able to survive without functioning kidneys, she said. Despite the news, Kim continued with her pregnancy, and delivered Kyle on Feb. 18 at 32 and a half weeks, by cesarean section. She was able to hold her son, she said, and on day 7, her “favorite day,” he opened his eyes. Kyle lived 11 days, Kim Callahan said, which was “11 days longer than we thought he would.” After Kyle’s passing, Kim and Justin received sympathy cards and other support, Kim Callahan said, but “I was afraid that my son would be forgotten.” So, Kim’s parents, Edward and Mickey Russell, came up with the idea to start a scholarship to help Kyle’s name live on, she said. Her parents provided the initial $10,000. The medical focus of the scholarship comes from the role doctors and nurses played in Kyle’s care, Kim Callahan said. “Kyle Russell Callahan, although only a baby, demon-

strated great strength and character in his 11 days of life,” Kim Callahan said. “The nurses and doctors who took care of Kyle displayed kindness, compassion and love. Furthermore, Kyle’s team of medical professionals also believed that science could not prove everything; faith played a big role in why Kyle lived as long as he did.” As part of the 5K, participants and donors each receive a neon green bag referred to as “Kyle’s Bag.” Since its introduction, it has turned into something a little more than just a knapsack, Kim Callahan said. A few years ago, Kim’s cousin took Kyle’s Bag to Europe with her and took pictures with it throughout the trip. Thus, “Where in the World is Kyle’s Bag” was born, Kim said. “We ask people to email pictures of themselves … I am in awe that so many would think of Kyle and us on their family vacations, weddings, proms, birthdays and other special occasions,” Kim Callahan said. To date, more than 300 pictures have been submitted of Kyle’s Bags around the world, including at weddings, sporting events, and with celebrities such as Tom Cruise and the Jonas Brothers, she said. During each 5K, a slideshow of Kyle’s Bag Journey pictures are shown, Kim Callahan said, which Justin puts together. “It’s so heartwarming,” she said. “Kyle’s thought of on people’s journeys.” Kim said Justin goes through a lot of work and fundraising to make sure a big screen TV is available for the slideshow. “He’s been fantastic,” she said. “He’s really taken ownership of making the race so successful.”

Federal judge weighs fate of Corbett suit By MARK SCOLFORO The Associated Press

HARRISBURG — Gov. Tom Corbett will learn within the next few weeks whether his federal lawsuit against the NCAA over the penalties handed down against Penn State will be allowed to continue, following a nearly two-hour hearing Monday in Harrisburg. Corbett sued the NCAA in January, claiming the $60 million fine and other penalties levied against Penn State over its handling of the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal violated federal antitrust rules. Scott Ballenger, representing the NCAA, said the actions it took against Penn State are not likely to harm the overall market for higher education or even the market for top-caliber football players, arguing antitrust law did not apply and that if anything, the TOM CORBETT Penn State sanctions were imposed to improve the competitiveness of college sports. He said the NCAA moved against Penn State to enforce rules about honesty, sportsmanship and conduct, rather than out of a conspiracy to help other schools at Penn State’s expense. “These are rules about preserving the basic character and integrity of athletic competition and its relation to the goals, the most important goals, of higher education,� Ballenger said. The NCAA and its members, he said, have a right to determine how they want to maintain college sports’ tradition of amateur athletics. Along with the fine, the consent agreement also imposed a four-year ban on postseason play, a temporary reduction in scholarships and the elimination of more than 100 wins under former coach Joe Paterno. The deal has angered many Penn State fans and alumni. A weakened Penn State football program has implications for students, businesses and others, said Jim Schultz, Corbett’s general counsel. “Penn State football is an economic power source for the commonwealth and its citizens,� Schultz told Kane, and that power source would be “seriously damaged� by the NCAA. The university agreed to the penalties and is not a party to the case. Corbett described the penalties as an illegal effort by the NCAA to increase the power of its own president and give some schools a competitive advantage. U.S. District Judge Yvette Kane said she plans to rule on the dismissal request in the next couple of weeks. Sandusky, the team’s former longtime defensive coach, was convicted last summer of 45 counts of child sexual abuse and is serving a 30- to 60-year state prison sentence. He maintains he was convicted unfairly and is pursuing appeals. A separate federal civil case filed by the NCAA, currently pending before the same judge, challenges a state law passed earlier this year that requires the Penn State fine to stay within Pennsylvania.

Teens’ materialism easy to understand By DALE MCFEATTERS Scripps-Howard News Service

We are as willing as anybody to step on the fingers of younger generations trying to climb the ladder of success behind us and to believe that — with their different tastes in dress, music and jargon — they represent a pause in evolutionary progress. But sometimes one feels called on to defend the unfairly maligned. Two psychology professors — Jean Twenge of San Diego State University and Tim Kasser of Knox College in Illinois — reviewed results from a national survey and write this month in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin that today’s young adults want nice things but are less willing than their predecessors to work hard for them. And how does this make them different from most other Americans? “Compared to previous generations,” Twenge writes, “recent high school graduates are more likely to want lots of money and nice things, but less likely to say they’re willing to work hard to earn them.” Twenge, author of the book “Generation Me,” went on, “That type of ‘fantasy gap’ is consistent with other studies showing a generational increase in narcissism and entitlement.” This would seem more of an economic than a social problem. Consumer spending accounts for 70 percent of U.S. economic activity, largely driven by materialism. If our young people think a new car, bigger TV and the latest in handheld devices are not worth the extra effort, we’re in economic trouble. The sense of narcissism and entitlement sounds like standard adolescence. Real life will grind it out of youths in a process called maturity. The survey was based on a nationally representative sample of 335,000 high school seniors and conducted from 1976 to 2007. Twenge and Kasser found that 62 percent of seniors surveyed in 2005-07 think it’s important to have a lot of money, while just 48 percent held the same belief in 1976-78. Seniors in 2005-2007 were surveyed during the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. Of course they thought it was important to have a lot of money; so did their parents. The study said 69 percent of recent high school graduates thought it was important to own a home, compared to just 55 percent in 1976-’78. First off, we should thank the new graduates for showing a little faith in a housing market that’s been in upheaval almost ever since they’ve been in high school. Thanks to the crash, they can now afford a home in many places where they couldn’t before. The thrust of this study is these youngsters are just like their elders in dealing with the U.S. government. They expect a lot of services and don’t want to pay very much for them. Seems like the latest crop of Americans is just like the last one.

Climate change reaches milestone Last week, with very little attention, our fragile globe cruised quietly past what some news sources called a “milestone”: On May 10, the atmospheric concentration of the heattrapping gas carbon dioxide reached an average daily level of just over 400 parts per million. The New York Times called this an “odometer moment,” meaning, I guess, that it’s an event we note casually, like when our car reaches 100,000 miles. And then we keep our foot on the gas and John M. Crisp start on the next teaches English at 100,000. Del Mar College in Corpus Christi, Four-hundred Texas. His column ppm doesn’t is distributed by sound like that Scripps Howard much, but, acNews Service.

For nearly a million years, the carbon dioxide level has fluctuated within a relatively narrow range, from around 180 parts per million during ice ages to 280 ppm during warmer periods. A higher level is associated with warmer temperatures, and dur-

JOHN CRISP

ing the relatively warmer geologicaltime eye blink represented by the period of human civilization, carbon dioxide ppm has hovered around 280. Since the Industrial Revolution, however, carbon dioxide ppm has climbed steadily, reaching the milestone this month and, according to some scientists, heading for 450 within less than 25 years. All reputable scientists agree that a high ppm implies tough times ahead in terms of climate, and, in fact, it’s hard to open a newspaper without finding indications that they’ve already started. Only a few days after the 400 ppm milestone, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman reported on dramatic weather changes in Yemen and Saudi Arabia. The growing season has been disrupted — with grim political implications for Yemen — and 13 Saudis died in the most violent rainstorms in 25 years. And on May 15, at least 13 tornadoes, some with winds as high as 200 mph, struck the region around Granbury, Texas, killing at least six. We all know what happened in Oklahoma earlier this week. Even though we’re careful not to connect any particular weather event with global climate, one needn’t be a genius to figure out that what’s been happening in the last few years is precisely in line with what scientists have predicted for decades: higher carbon dioxide ppm corresponds with weather extremes. Is there any good news on the climate front? On May 14, the International Energy Agency produced a five-year outlook for the global energy market. The “good news” is that

the threat of oil shortages has essentially disappeared and that the U.S. will continue to depend less and less on Middle Eastern oil. Part of the transformed market is declining oil consumption in the developed world. But the other part is increased oil and gas production, especially in the U.S. and Canada, thanks to better technology and driven by higher oil prices. Middle Eastern oil will flow increasingly to the burgeoning Asian market, where citizens covet a lifestyle like ours, which can be achieved only with hydrocarbons. In short, as long as hydrocarbons are out there, we will find them and burn them, and carbon dioxide levels will continue to rise. Of course, nothing I’ve said so far is particularly new or surprising. Still, probably we occasionally need to be reminded of the most surprising thing of all: the denial and obliviousness with which we are allowing this to happen. Then there’s the worst climate news so far: the so-called Benghazi scandal, the I.R.S. pseudo-scandal, the putative Associated Press scandal. The wounds were largely self-inflicted, but blood is in the water, nevertheless. The frenzy will go on until new scandals can be found, undermining and distracting the only administration in some time that’s shown even half-hearted interest in taking on climate change. This is the real scandal. Thus, Columbia University scientist Maureen Raymo, referring to the news that the globe had finally reached 400 ppm, says: “It feels like the inevitable march toward disaster.”

It’s raining cats, dogs and scandals Please, please, there’s no reason to impeach President Barack Obama and it is overreach to say we’re getting Watergate all over again. But the scandals are indeed piling up on each other, or, to use another metaphor: It’s not just raining, it’s pouring. And the message to the nation is to take cover. First, of course, we recently heard convincing congressional testimony about how Washington had been informed about what was really happening in Jay Ambrose is a Benghazi, Libya, columnist for Scripps-Howard before the adNews Service. ministration’s dupe-the-public, win-the-election charade of sending U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice out to tell a different story on TV shows. Then came revelations about some in the Internal Revenue Service seeming to think special attention should be given to the tax status of especially perilous organizations, those that are, you know — shudder, shudder — conservative. Now it turns out the Justice Department has engaged in what the president of the Associated Press has called a “massive, unprecedented intrusion” into his organization’s operations.

JAY AMBROSE

We’re not talking small stuff here. We’re talking about federal snoops gathering up records of two months of calls on both office and home phones of more than 100 reporters in bureaus in Washington, D.C., New York City and Hartford, Conn. This is a sledgehammer swing at press freedom as guaranteed in the First Amendment, but let’s go slowly, noting first that a far more limited quest may possibly have been justified. Back in May of last year, the AP learned that the CIA had spoiled an al-Qaeda plan to observe the anniversary of the death of Osama bin Laden by detonating a bomb on a plane. The CIA intercepted an IED in Yemen, and that was that. But the CIA did not want to announce the success, telling the AP it would be announced later but that it would dangerous to announce it immediately. AP waited a while, then went with the story. While the government would not say why it examined the records obtained from phone companies, it had said previously that it was investigating the AP story. It was apparently seeking the government source of the classified information. The Obama administration has been tough on this score, prosecuting more people accused of leaking classified information than all other administrations put together, AP reports. And while I am myself persuaded far more is classified than needs be, I don’t think it’s OK for some government worker to decide on his or her own that it’s OK to ig-

nore the law in any particular case. That said, an AP story notes that the Justice Department itself has strict rules that such press investigations should focus only on relevant material because broad searches would intervene with the freedom of reporters to investigate and report. This was an inexcusably broad search, causing the American Civil Liberties Union to talk about a “chilling effect on journalists and whistle blowers.” AP’s president, Gary Pruitt, said the records search could possibly reveal other confidential sources and activities the government has “no conceivable right to know.” One does not arrive at a more charitable view of this phone record romp by an educated guess that the Obama administration’s main reason for classifying the incident was that it pointed to a still active al-Qaeda. It seems, after all, that an effort to make everyone think terrorists were not the danger they used to be was behind the phony, baloney trick of trying to make everyone think the Benghazi horror was a consequence of a spontaneous protest caused by an anti-Muslim American-made movie. You may remember, too, how top administration officials were accused in the first term of themselves leaking classified information that made President Obama look good, one of any number of seeming abuses insufficiently explored by some of the liberally inclined in a news industry now being abused itself.

HEALTH & WELLNESS Testing can spot breast cancer risk From Gazette staff reports HERSHEY — Actress Angelina Jolie announced last week that she had a double mastectomy after learning she had a genetic mutation that predisposes for breast cancer. In an op-ed feature titled “My Medical Choice� that she wrote for The New York Times, Jolie said doctors estimated her risk of developing breast cancer to be 87 percent and told her she had a 50 percent chance of developing ovarian cancer. Jolie said she wanted to publicize her decision in hopes that others at risk will get tested to determine if they also have a mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene. If they do, they can then decide what preventative measures to take to decrease their risk of developing cancer. Dr. Rena Kass, director of Penn State Hershey Breast Center, said Jolie’s announcement is great publicity that will raise awareness about the genetic component of many cancers. “This will allow many women who haven’t thought about their own risk — or maybe who have, but never considered genetic testing — to have the courage to take proactive steps to reduce their risk,� she said. Anyone who has a personal history or strong family history of cancer should consider getting tested to see if they carry the

BRCA mutation. Both men and women can carry and pass on the gene mutation, which predisposes for cancers of the breast, ovaries, prostate, pancreas and skin. “If you have a clustering of cancers in your family history, you should talk to someone from a genetics team,� Kass said. “There are lots of things people can do to decrease their risk of getting cancer if they know they have the gene.� While that might mean a bilateral mastectomy like Jolie, less invasive preventative measures include more frequent clinical breast exams, MRIs, and possibly medication. Those who are predisposed to ovarian cancer can opt to have their ovaries removed after childbearing to decrease their risk. Maria Baker, genetic counselor and head of the Cancer Genetics Program at Penn State Hershey, said she hopes Jolie’s news pushes the federal government to recognize the need for genetic counseling. Right now, patients can be required to pay for the service out of pocket because neither Medicare nor Medicaid recognize genetic counselors as providers. Yet getting tested without going through genetic counseling can result in incorrect testing or misinterpretation of the results, she said. “We talk with patients about the risks,

benefits and limitations of getting genetic testing, as well as how it might influence their decisions,� Baker said. “We address any concerns they may have — including their risk for genetic discrimination, the effect testing can have on family dynamics and what resources are out there for support.� In addition to performing an independent review of a patient’s family medical history, genetic counselors can identify appropriate testing, educate patients about

the pros and cons of it, interpret results, plan preventative measures and connect patients to resources and support. Kass said she expects Jolie’s news will empower women. “If they feel like, here is this icon of femininity — a real American sex symbol — and she is making these decisions, any woman can say ‘It’s OK for me to move forward and take control of my life.’ When you get cancer, you don’t really have control. This is a way to take control before you lose control.�

Time to get the spring back in your step KELLY L. COOK

Dr. Kelly L. Cook is a graduate of New York Chiropractic College. Her offices are located in State College and Centre Hall.

Chiropractic promotes health, balance, and an active lifestyle. Many people have decided to start the new year with exercising to better one’s health. As spring continues, the slightly apprehensive soles will get bitten by the warm weather bug and decide to venture out into exercise too. It is important to make sure your body is functioning at its optimal level when beginning to exercise. The excess weight that has been gained during the hibernation months is taking its toll and it is time to do something about it. I am asking that you listen to your body and take time to be aware the effect your lifestyle has on your well being. It is a startling fact that more than half of all adults in America are over-

weight and at risk for cardiovascular disease. And unfortunately, the times have changed, and it is not only adults that are struggling with their weight. Childhood obesity is growing at an alarming rate. Excess weight doesn’t just increase your risk for heart disease, it causes extreme stress on the weight bearing joints. The major weight-bearing joints in the body are the hips, knees, ankles, and let’s not forget, the lower back. Even though our bodies may not make us immediately aware that they are being overworked, the damage has begun. We tend to only realize there is a problem when we feel pain. When a person gains weight, this has an effect on that individual’s center of gravity. As little as a 10 pound weight gain can impact one’s balance. This change in balance and center of gravity adds pressure and causes deterioration within major weight-bearing joints. Often, people steer away from exercise due to pain or discomfort experienced during exercise. One has to wonder: “How can I exercise, lose weight and get healthy if the process hurts so much?� Welcome to the need for chiro-

practic. Chiropractic can help to alleviate these bodily aches and pains which will enable the individual to no longer be trapped by the limitations of their own body and strive for better health. We make sure that all joints are pulling their weight so to speak. We need all of the joints in the body to be properly moving. Once we have eliminated joint restrictions, this will allow muscles to return to their normal jobs rather than compensating and causing spasm. I am not saying that a chiropractic adjustment will make you lose weight. I am bringing to your attention the need to have the body in its best alignment so when coupled with your best nutritional and exercise efforts, success will be had. Keep in mind, thanks to chiropractic treatments, the body will have increased flexibility, be more immune to disease, enjoy improved sleep patterns, be more efficient with use of oxygen and nutrients, and make you far more likely to succeed in your personal goals with diet and exercise routines. Overall wellness of a person’s mind and body will result in the desired effect of weight loss and return that spring to your step.

New asthma treatment offered at Mount Nittany From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — Imagine having severe shortness of breath from asthma, and no amount of medications and inhalants provide help. Now imagine that a new treatment becomes available that opens up the bronchial tubes, and for the first time in months, even years, you can breathe much better than before. Bronchial theromplasty is a new technology offered at Mount Nittany Medical Center, and it offers the hope of improved breathing for people with persistent asthma, according to Dr. John Cox, pulmonary medicine, Mount Nittany Physician Group. “Although the percentage of people who can benefit from this procedure is small — from 3 to 5 percent — the results for those people are great, and also, the amount of resources that it takes to treat people with persistent and severe asthma is also great, so there is a cost benefit as well,� said Cox.

Grange Fairgrounds hosts annual car show By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — The Grange Fair Car Show and Spring Festival was held on the fairgrounds on May 17 through 19. The annual event featured a car show, food vendors and truck and tractor pulls. All types of vehicles were present at the show, including antiques, muscle cars, hot rods, pickup trucks and motorcycles. This event has a history of cool, wet weather, but the rain held off with nothing more than a few light sprinkles. About 75 cars/trucks and 14 motorcycles gathered in the south end of the fairgrounds. A large crowd of spectators turned out to see and enjoy all the vehicles in the show. Packer’s Concessions food vendors were on hand, and live music was provided by the No Chance Band from the

Harrisburg area. The 1957 Chevy is considered by many to be the “classic of classics” in the car world. A gleaming example of the 1957 was Brian Tressler’s bright orange Bel Air convertible. It featured a 283 cubic inch V-8 engine and an automatic transmission. Just down the row was Miles Dehass’s 1955 Chevy Bel Air convertible in a similar orange color, two-toned with white. Both of these classic ragtops got lots of admiring attention from the crowd of spectators. Oldsmobile, a less often seen General Motors marque, was represented beautifully by a metallic blue 1972 Olds Cutlass convertible, shown by Ron Irwin of Philipsburg. This car is powered by an Olds “Rocket 350” V-8 engine and has just 65,000 miles on it. Larry and Verna Wilson drove in from Montoursville in their purple 1930 Ford pickup, named “Tonka Toy.”

“A kid saw it at a show and said it looked like one of his Tonka toys, so that’s what we call it,” Larry Wilson said. The truck was originally owned by Wilson’s grandfather and was sold to an Ace Hardware store in Montoursville. Wilson bought it back from the store and made extensive modifications to it, including dropping in a Ford 351 Windsor engine for plenty of power. Dan Watson, of Philipsburg, brought a rare and unusual car to the show. It was a 1949 Willys-Overland Jeepster. The Jeepster was a sporty convertible version of the venerable Jeep, made from 1948 to 1950. It was revived by American Motors in an updated version from 1966 to 1973. Watson’s orange and black version has a 283 Chevy V-8 replacing the original 80 horsepower 6-cylinder engine. Power is delivered through a three-speed manual gearbox.

Crystal Lenox, of Pennsylvania Furnace, showed her red 1966 Mustang coupe equipped with its original 6-cylinder engine instead of the more popular V-8’s. Her father found the car in Woodward with rust everywhere but the roof. He painstakingly rebuilt the car over a six-year period and presented it to Lenox as a college graduation present. Another unusual car at the show was a 1964 Chevy Corvair sedan owned by Paul Blazer, of Tyrone. Blazer bought the Corvair for $300 in 1971 when he was 16 years old, and has owned it ever since. It has the rear-mounted, 110 horsepower, air-cooled engine and an automatic transmission operated by a shift lever on the dashboard. The Corvair’s design was famously attacked by consumer advocate Ralph Nader in his book “Unsafe at Any Speed.” Blazer said he disagrees with Nader’s assessment of the Corvair.

Penns Valley student conducts self-defense classes By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — Mackenzie Wenrick is a sophomore at Penns Valley High School. She is an instructor in Tang Soo Do with a rank of second-degree black belt, and has been training for over six years. For her senior project at Penns Valley High School, she decided to conduct self-defense classes for fifth- and sixth-grade students at the Penns Valley Elementary and Intermediate School as part of the students’ physical education classes. Wenrick said her classes were designed to teach adolescents how to win a fight by avoiding one, but some martial arts techniques are also included for self defense if an altercation cannot be avoided. In the classes, Wenrick was assisted by physical education teacher Jackie Price, red

belt holder Dalton Derugen and Tang Soo Do Master Rich Arteca, who operates Arteca’s Martial Arts Studio in Spring Mills, where Wenrick’s parents, Crystal and Forrest Wenrick, are also instructors. A class begins with warmup calisthenics — jumping jacks, pushups and leg lifts. Wenrick then gathers the students and tells them that their first line of defense if approached by an attacker should be their voices. “Yell something like ‘I don’t know this person,’” she said. A simple statement like that can attract attention from bystanders and scare away a potential assailant. She showed the students how to use leverage to break the grip of an assailant. “Spin around and hold up your hands and say ‘I don’t want any trouble,’” she said. If the attack persists, it’s time for more aggressive

moves. Wenrick and Arteca demonstrated several types of punch and kick maneuvers, as well as how to deflect an assailant’s punch. Wenrick emphasized that these moves are to be used only as a last resort. “Don’t use punches on your friends or little brothers,” she said. The students practiced punching and kicking handheld punching bags, gently at first, but gradually increasing their intensity. Wenrick cited the benefits of martial arts training — health, fitness, making one a better person and self-defense. Physical education teacher Jackie Price said: “The students are in a good age group. It’s a time when bullying can become a problem.” He felt that the classes would give the students confidence and help them to not become targets for bullies in the future.

PAWS ADOPT-A-PET

Engagement Announcements

Dalevue, a white and gray middle-aged male, would love to celebrate this Memorial Day with his buddy Ariel and a new forever family. Dalevue and Ariel, a gorgeous young gal, are a bonded pair and must be adopted together; they became inseparable when Dalevue took Ariel under his wing soon after she came to PAWS as a scared, little kitten. A handsome guy with soulful green eyes, Dalevue is sweet and affectionate. He can be a little shy around strangers, but often greets visitors at the door in hopes they are carrying treats. A home with other cats and older children, but no dogs, would be fine for both Dalevue and Ariel. You can read more about this pair at http://www.centrecountypaws.org/cats/ or visit them in person at PAWS, 1401 Trout Road, State College. Both have a guardian angel, meaning their adoption fees have already been paid for as a gift to their future forever family.

Centre Hall library holds open house celebration By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — The Centre Hall branch of the Centre County Library held an open house on the evening of May 13 to celebrate its nearly 16 years of service to the Centre Hall and Penns Valley area. On display was the library’s new circulation desk, which was custom fabricated by Red Hill Cabinets of Rebersburg. Another new addition shown was the teen area with a new table and high stools. The new additions were made possible by many fundraising events sponsored by the Centre Hall Area Branch Library Association. Library branch manager Kim Bair praised the association’s efforts. “We have one of the best friends groups of any library,” she said. Some of the funds raised

were also used to purchase DVDs, furniture and audio books for the library. Construction of the Centre Hall library began in 1996, and the building was opened to the public in September of 1997. A 20-year mortgage was taken out for its construction, and thanks to great efforts by the library association and the citizens of Centre Hall, the mortgage was paid off in less than 14 years, saving literally thousands of dollars in interest fees. The first library in Centre Hall was established in 1940 in the Progress Grange Hall on Pennsylvania Avenue. It was sponsored by the Centre Hall Women’s Club. That library was short-lived, and the Centre County Bookmobile became the town’s only library service until the present building was opened. The library is located at 109 W. Beryl St. in Centre Hall. To contact the library, call (814) 364-2580.

CENTRE HALL Area Branch Library Association members stand in front of the new circulation desk. Left to right: Bob Booz, Kathy Burger, Pat Krisch, Polly Flood, Ruth Floray, Doris Tobey, Donna Coursen, Kim Bair, Patty Schwier and Bob Boozer.

Centre Hall Cub Scouts replace flags on vets’ graves By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — Several Cub Scouts from Cub Scout Pack 20 in Centre Hall gathered at the Lutheran and Reformed Cemetery on West Church Street in Centre Hall on May 15. They were assisted by Pete Banholzer, the past commander of American Legion Post 779 in Old Fort. The scouts were recruited to replace aging and worn American flags on the graves of U.S. armed services veterans buried in the cemetery. A list

of the deceased veterans and boxes of new American flags were supplied by the American Legion post. The Cub Scouts walked through the rows of graves, carefully replacing the faded worn flags with bright new ones. Cub Scout leaders Danan Sharer and Art Gover supervised the Cubs in their task. The Centre Hall cemetery contains one veteran of the war of 1812, 50 from the Civil War, three from the Spanish-American War, 26 from World War I, 80 from World War II, 19 from the Korean War and seven from the Vietnam War.

Dyslexia center to host ‘A Toast to Reading’ By BRITTANY SVOBODA correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — The Children’s Dyslexia Center in State College will host the third annual “A Toast to Reading� fundraiser from 2 to 4:30 p.m. at the Mountain View Country Club in Boalsburg on June 1. The fundraiser is a wine and food pairing silent auction that is available to anyone 21 and older at $40 per person. The fundraiser was created to raise funds and awareness for the center, which provides free tutoring to children ages 6 through 18 diagnosed with dyslexia from 15 counties in Pennsylvania, said Angela Williams, co-chair of the fundraiser. “The more people we have out there who are aware of the center I think the better off the community is,� she said. Attendees of “A Toast to Reading� can expect to enjoy food and wine while navigating tables of silent auction items, like basketballs signed by Penn State men’s and women’s head basketball coaches Pat Chambers and Coquese Washington, respectively. Other items for auction include baskets and packages from area spas, wineries and breweries. There will also be a PowerPoint presentation and speeches given by board members and parents of children who attend the center. Although no more products can be given for the fundraiser, Williams said businesses and individuals can still donate money to the center, which will be tax-exempt. Earlier this year, the center was notified that an anonymous donor would give the center a 50 percent matching grant if it raises $20,000 by Aug. 31. This is the second consecutive year an anonymous donor has offered the matching grant. The center has raised $9,100 so far to-

ward the $20,000 needed for the matching grant, said Chris Spearly, vice chair on the board of governors for the center. Last year the fundraiser brought in $13,500, Williams said, and she hopes at least that much is raised this year. Williams’ son Quinn is a graduate of the center. She said she started noticing that Quinn was having trouble with letters when he was in preschool. After years of struggling, Williams said she had a school psychologist evaluate him. Quinn was diagnosed with dyslexia and began attending the center when he was 8 years old and in second grade. According to Williams, one in five people have dyslexia, which significantly decreases their ability to connect the sounds of letters to their shape. The center uses the Orton-Gillingham method to help students learn how to say each letter in relation to others. After three years of hard work at the center, Williams said Quinn graduated with the ability to read better. “I won’t say he loved it,� she said. “It was a challenge.� Williams said she kept reminding Quinn that someday he would see his time at the center as an extremely valuable experience. “This will change your ability to be able to read, to write and to function in the world.� This year, Williams said, Quinn has read 42 chapter books at school, including the “Lord of the Rings� and the “Chronicles of Narnia� series. Tickets for “A Toast to Reading� can be purchased up until the day of the event by visiting the Children’s Dyslexia Center at 2766 W. College Ave. or contacting Stephanie Ripka at (814) 574-7817. To learn more about the center and “A Toast to Reading,� visit www.childrensdyslexia center.org.

Game Over Bald Eagle Area falls to Mt. Union in District 6 Class AA playoff game By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

WINGATE — The fact that Mt. Union came into Doc Etters Field for Monday afternoon’s District 6, AA second-round game as the No. 7 seed did not fool secondseeded Bald Eagle Area. The Eagles knew that Mt. Union was the defending AA champions and was coming into the game with a 15-4 record and a long history of postseason success. They also knew they would be facing one of the hardest throwing pitchers in the district in Cole Boozel. Knowing what you are up against and actually winning against it, however, are two different things. With Boozel performing even better than advertised, the Trojans scraped across single runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings and then watched their star pitcher tear through the BEA lineup in a 3-0 victory over the Eagles. The win puts Mt. Union into the semifinals against Ligonier Valley and, suddenly and unfortunately, puts an end to a very successful BEA season. Boozel threw hard, for sure, but he also had a nasty, late-breaking curve ball and a sneaky change-up that kept BEA off balance all day. He gave up just four hits, struck out nine, and walked two. After escaping some early trouble — BEA stranded five runners in the first two innings — he settled down and retired 15 of the last 18 hitters he faced and didn’t allow a runner past first base after the third inning. “He (Boozel) just did a great, great job,” Mt. Union head coach Nick Imperioli said. “I can’t say enough about his pitching today. It was just outstanding. “He had a sharp-breaking curve ball and it’s late-breaking,” Imperioli added. “I know for a lot of hitters it’s difficult to make that adjustment. You know, hitters

BALD EAGLE AREA’S Logan Reese steals third during Monday’s playoff game with Mount Union. The Eagles lost, 3-0, and were eliminated from the postseason. are taught to look for the fast ball and adjust to the curve, but if it’s a late-breaker, that’s sometimes difficult. He also pretty much had his control working today.” Even so, BEA had its chances, especially early. The Eagles threatened in the first after Logan Reese reached on an error with two outs, and then Dylan Wormer singled to put runners on first and second. Ryan Dyke, however, grounded out sharply to shortstop the end the inning. In the second, again with two outs, a walk to Nate Cleaver, a hit batter (Gage Gardner), and a single by Bryan Greene loaded the bases. Boozel again escaped unscathed, this time getting Bryce Greene

to ground out. Then in the third, an error and a wild pitch put Logan Reese on third with none out, but Boozel denied the Eagles for the third time with two strikeouts and another routine grounder. “We couldn’t get anything to fall in,” BEA coach Jim Gardner said, “and we couldn’t make anything happen. We had the guys on base. It’s just a game, and that’s the way the game goes. “But Boozel was the factor in this game. I knew he threw hard. I knew he was good, but he impressed me.” While BEA was finding in difficult finding holes in the Trojan defense, the same

was not entirely true for Mt. Union. The Trojans were able to tap BEA pitcher Wormer for 10 hits, but most of them were scattered and none were hit particularly hard. Still, Mt. Union was able to find enough green to push across three runs. In the fourth, Brady Goodling and Hunter Atherton both singled for Mt. Union with one out. Then Dylan Sunderling hit a blooping fly ball just over the BEA infield for an RBI single and a 1-0 Trojan lead. In the fifth, a Corey Tyler single gave Mt. Union a 2-0 lead, and then in the sixth, a walk, a sacrifice bunt, a wild pitch, and a single by Klayton Heffner made the score 3-0 in favor of the Trojans. They were the only runs Mt. Union scored, and the only ones Boozel needed. “In the same circumstances with them,” Gardner said, “they got little loopers over the infield. And what makes a difference between what happened for them and what happened for us? It’s the way the game goes, and what can you say about that?” Try as they did, the BEA hitters could not get a handle on Boozel, who seemed to get stronger as the game progressed. The Eagles did get a base runner in both the fifth and the sixth innings, but neither advanced past first base. And Boozel retired the side in the seventh to sew up the victory. For BEA, who finished the season with a very solid 15-6 record, things ended far earlier than expected, but the Eagles knew Mt. Union would be a major challenge. “We certainly know what they are all about,” Gardner said, “and we respect their program a great deal. The seedings this year were just packed with teams with good records, and I really thought that this would be our toughest game maybe the rest of the year. If we got by this, I thought we’d be fine. I was really concerned about today’s game, obviously for good reason.”

Tough-luck Loss Nittany Lions falter in final frame, fall to Michigan State By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — It was Senior Day for the Penn State baseball team on Saturday afternoon, and the Nittany Lions were looking to send off the eight members of the 2013 senior class in style with a win over Big Ten rival Michigan State in the season’s final game. After eight full innings of this closely played game that included a stellar pitching performance by Penn State senior Steven Hill in his final game, that win was only three outs away. Michigan State had to win, though, to have any chance at making the Big Ten Tournament, and to the dismay of Penn State and the parents and fans in attendance, the Spartans found a way to get it done in the ninth inning. Trailing by a run, MSU pushed across two in the final inning on just one hit to steal a 2-1 win and spoil the afternoon for the Lions. After Penn State reliever Cody Lewis ominously walked Ryan Richardson to open the top of the ninth inning, Jim Pickens slashed a curving line drive down the right field line that hit just inside

the foul line and rolled all the way to the wall. Richardson sailed around the bases and scored the tying run, and Pickens ended up on third base with a stand-up triple. One out later, Pickens scored on Anthony Checky’s RBI ground out, and the Spartans had all the runs they would need for the victory. “That happens,” Hill said. “Stuff like that happens. You’re upset about it, and you want it to end better, but it happens. It’s baseball.” In many ways, the game could be seen as a microcosm of the Penn State season in which the Nittany Lions were right there in so many games, but far more often than not, things ended as they did on Saturday. The Nittany Lions finished 1436 on the season, which was a tremendous disappointment for the eight seniors — Evan Dixon, Neal Herring, Hill, Lewis, Luis Montesinos, Matt Paradise, Elliot Searer, and Dave Walkling — who played their last game. But 20 of those losses were by two runs or less, and PSU was 1-5 in extra-inning games. “You always want to do better than you did,” Montesinos said. “We wish we could have put our

hits together more instead of scattering them out through the innings, and we wish we had just a little bit more in some of those games we lost by one or two runs.” That was certainly true of this game. Penn State threatened in the bottom of the fifth, sixth, and seventh innings, but the Lions were only able to score a single run. That came in the sixth, when sophomore J.C. Coban, with James Coates and Searer on second and third base, hit an RBI ground out that put Penn State ahead 1-0. Hill, who gave up no runs, three hits, and one walk in the game, had a chance to make that run stand up. He got the first two outs in the seventh, but concerns about an injury problem and a bad matchup with MSU’s next batter, Joel Fisher, prompted Penn State coach Robbie Wine to bring in Walkling, who promptly got Fisher on a soft fly ball to right field. “I missed a couple starts the last couple of weeks with the shoulder,” Hill said, “and they were kind of making sure I didn’t do anything to it. I was losing some zip and my slider wasn’t as

pitched a perfect eight inning, but the walk to Richardson to begin the ninth opened the door for the Spartans. “It’s gone on for the entire year,” Montesinos said. “I would have loved to win this last one, but it’s baseball. It is a game of inches.”

Murnyack inducted into Clarion Sports Hall of Fame By JOHN DIXON sports@centrecountygazette.com

CLARION — When most student-athletes matriculate to college, normally they participate in one, maybe two sports, but not Alex Murnyack. He played baseball, football and even wrestled for the Golden Eagles, a sport he never participated in at Bald Eagle Area High School. Murnyack, of Clarence, was inducted into the Clarion University Sports Hall of Fame with four other alumni on May 10. He graduated from Bald Eagle Area in 1960. He earned nine letters and played 10 seasons for three different teams including football, wrestling and baseball from 1961 through 1964. But with all the accolades he received during his introduction, there was still one item missing from the ceremony. And anyone that knows Murnyack and his one little idiosyncrasy, it’s the ever-present thermos of coffee. Be it while coaching baseball at Bald Eagle Area or keeping score at the PIAA District 6 Class AAA and Northwest Regionals, the ever-present thermos of coffee is always by his side. While his trusted thermos was missing, that didn’t hinder Murynack from getting his coffee during the awards dinner that preceded his introduction. Murnyack still managed to have no fewer than three carafes of coffee before the dinner was completed. Upon introducing Murynack for his Hall of Fame induction, Clarion University Athletic Director said to the overflow crowd: “Welcome to the Alex Murynack family reunion.” Twenty-six family members and over 50 friends far outnumbering any other inductee’s present accompanied Murnyack to the event. “I know this is finals week (at Clarion) and it’s Friday night so I want to ask this question, ‘how many student-athletes have to study tonight?’ (There were a few show of hands). Well, it took me 49 years to get up here at this podium and there is an awful lot I want to say so you folks may want to be excused so you can go study,”

Murnyack said. That remark, keeping in line with Murnyack’s personality, was greeted with extended laughter. “I would like to thank the selection committee on my honor as an inductee for this prestigious award as a member of the Clarion University Hall of Fame,” Murnyack said. “I would also like to thank my immediate family that supports me each and every day and all of my extended family, which includes my soon to be 94-year-old mother-in-law who could not be here from Greensburg. She is a devoted Christian and I was trying to think of something negative to say about her and had a tough time until I realized she is a darn Steelers fan (Murnyack is a diehard Cleveland Browns fan).”

TOUGH TIMES Murnyack is one of 10 children and was raised on a small farm while his mother was a homemaker most of her life and his father was a self-employed coal miner for many years. It was, in his words, a very humbling experience. “I can remember when I was in the eighth grade helping in the mines, some days after school, and particularly on the weekends, helping my dad,” explained Murnyack. “But I specifically remember that the elementary school to our house was a very short distance and that was adjacent to the baseball field and I really loved to play the game.”

BASEBALL “I very badly wanted to play baseball and played with some of the older boys in the community. And as a family we didn’t have much and like ‘Shoeless’ Jackson, sometimes I went to practice barefoot. That’s a true story,” Murnyack said. “The older kids started to call me ‘Indian’ and someone made that reference to me tonight. And to this day if I see Dave Chambers, one of the older players, he still calls me ‘Indian.’”

CLARION UNIVERSITY “I wanted to go to college,” Murnyack said. “And the way I got to Clarion is very

interesting. I was able to graduate in 3½ years and I wasn’t highly recruited out of high school. When I graduated from Bald Eagle Area, I was working for PA Department of Forestry and a friend of mine, Andy Danko, was attending Clarion University. He brought me an application, which I completed and was then accepted. The rest, as they say, is history.” Clarion is also where Murnyack met his wife, Sandie, of Greencastle. Murnyack played football for two years under Ernie Johnson and his senior year under Al Jacks. A two-way player, he played offensive line and defensive line — linebacker during his career. As an offensive lineman and a defensive lineman and linebacker, he notched a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference second team berth in 1962 and preseason All-American honors the next year. Captain that season, he lived up to the advance billing, winning his team’s Most Valuable Player award and being selected to the conference first team and, as an honorable mention, the all-state squad in 1963. Although Murnyack never wrestled in high school, he was a member of the Golden Eagle wrestling team under Frank Lignelli from 1962-64 and was a PSAC runner up at 191 pounds in 1963. A four-year starter as a catcher/first baseman under coach Joe Knowles, he was a team captain and team MVP in 1964 and posted the highest batting average in the PSAC West as a senior. Murynack went on to teach and coach at Brockway High School from 1964-66, then had a long career as a teacher/coach at Bald Eagle Area from 1967 until his re-

State College faces off with Altoona in playoffs By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Sometimes for teams going into the playoffs, it pays to have short memories. For the State College baseball team, that means forgetting about its earlier and probably too-easy 6-0 victory over Altoona and attending to the game at hand, which is far more important. That game would be today’s AAAA, District 6 semifinal contest against that same Altoona team at 4 p.m. on Community Field. Altoona has been an up and down team this season. The Mountain Lions, 8-11, own victories over Latrobe, Central Mountain, Hollidaysburg, and Mifflin County, among others, but they had a mid-season slump in which they lost seven out of nine games, beginning with that shutout loss to SC. Altoona’s offense can score runs — it

broke double figures four times this season and scored 17 against Bishop McCort — and the Mountain Lions come into today’s game after wins in two of their last three contests. They have four players who are hitting over .300: Travis Baker (.389), Dylan Conrad (.339), Joel Reighard (.319), and Joel Fink (.315). In addition, Baker, Conrad, Fink, and Shea Stayer have combined to drive in 40 runs this season. On the mound, Ben Wyland and Alec Lytle both have two wins this season, and they are followed by Ben Foose, Trentin Martin, J. Johnson, and John McGinley, who all have one win each. Wyland and Foose are especially dangerous because they both have an ERA under 3.00 — Wyland at 1.60 and Foose at 2.62. State College will show up with some firepower of its own. The Little Lions are 14-6, and they also beat Mifflin County (twice) and Central Mountain. In addition, they have Mid-Penn Conference wins over Carlisle, Central Dauphin, Cedar Cliff and C.D. East. The Little Lions are led in hitting by Tanner Witter (.354), Darian Herncane (.333), Jason Costa (.327), Caleb Walls (.326), Dan Fry (.319) and Ryan Karstetter (.311). Ben Finlan was the big winner on the mound for SC with a record of 6-2, while Fry and Nick Raquet each won three games. Fry and Raquet each have ERAs under 2.00 (1.69 and 1.84), and Scout Droske

PSU women’s lacrosse squad falls StateCollege.com EVANSTON, Ill. — Penn State’s women’s lacrosse team came up short in its quest for a national championship. The team’s title dream came to an abrupt end in Saturday night’s quarterfinal game against Northwestern. The Wildcats got out in front early and never looked back

knocking off the Nittany Lions, 15-7. Penn State staged a second half rally after falling behind 13-3 at the half but couldn’t overcome five free-position goals by Northwestern in the opening 30 minutes. The Wildcats opened the game on a 5-0 run and spent much of the first half in the Nittany Lions end.

Playoff preview: P-O looks to make postseason run From Gazette staff reports The Philipsburg-Osceola softball team is doing its thing, and as of this writing, both State College teams and the Bellefonte softball team are still waiting their turn in the 2013 District 6 baseball and softball tournaments. But generally speaking, this year’s brackets have not been kind to Centre County teams. The Lady Mounties are again at the doorstep of qualifying for the state tournament. After Kate Burge almost threw a perfect game against Bishop McCort last Thursday — she allowed only one base runner on a walk — P-O took on No. 9 Mt. Union on Monday afternoon in Philipsburg. Burge was solid again against the Lady Trojans as the Mounties picked up a 5-1 win and a berth in the semi-final against Bellewood-Antis today. She gave up five hits, the lone run in the second inning, struck out nine and walked only one. Abby Showers got the big hit for P-O, a first-inning, tworun homer that gave Burge all the help she needed. P-O also added runs in the third, fourth, and fifth to seal up the win. Since two AA teams qualify for inter-district play, the Lady Mounties have to defeat Bellewood to qualify for this year’s tournament, and they are chomping at the bit to redeem themselves after last season’s first-round, eight-inning loss to eventual state champion Neshannock. The BEA baseball team suffered a tough loss, 3-0, to Mt. Union and pitcher Cole Boozel on Monday afternoon. The loss cut short a very good season for BEA and ended hopes of a long playoff run by the Eagles. BEA coach Jim Gardner was very emotional when he talked about the end of the season and the loss of this year’s senior class. “Tremendous amount of ability there,” he said. “We certainly had our sights set high. I felt like this was a game we had to get past, and had we gotten past it, who knows? It’s just tough to see these guys go.” The Penns Valley baseball team also lost to Mount Union last Thursday in the opening round of the playoffs. The Rams, however, lost in a much different fashion. PV actually had Mount Union on the ropes, leading 5-2 heading into the last inning, but the Trojans rallied with four runs in their last chance and escaped with an improbable 6-5 victory. A three-run homer by Trevon Walker sparked Mount Union, and Trojan coach Nick Imperioli thought that the rally was part of the impetus for the victory over BEA. “That definitely helped,” Imperioli said. “That last game was story-book, and I think it really picked us up a lot.” Over in Bellefonte on Monday, the Huntingdon baseball team made up for two earlier-season losses to the Red Raiders with a razor-thin 5-4 victory in the AAA first round. The Bearcats rode a terrific, seven-inning relief appearance by Devon Claar to claim the win and advance into the semi-finals against No. 1 Somerset. The Red Raiders loaded the bases against Huntingdon starter Hunter Price and scored four runs in the first in-

But that was it. The Raiders couldn’t touch him after that. Bellefonte finished the season 8-10 and faces some major rebuilding going into next season with the loss of eight seniors. The District 6 softball seeding committee certainly didn’t do BEA any favors when it sent No. 10 Ligonier Valley into Wingate last Thursday in the opening round of the AA tournament. Last season, if you remember, BEA rallied for seven runs in the last inning to eliminate the Lady Rams which was more than enough motivation for a team that has one of the best players in the state in shortstop Maddy Grimm to strike back with a tense 5-4 win. In her second at bat in the game, Grimm put LV ahead by two with a homer to right-center field, but BEA gamely fought back to tie the game in the sixth at 3-3. In the top of the seventh, Grimm came up again with a runner on second base and one out.

BEA walked her in her previous at bat with no harm, so why not try it again? That put runners at first and second and brought up Jackie Berry, who was either angry for the lack of respect shown her by BEA or happy to see the potential runs on base. More than likely, she was both because she promptly hit a triple into right field that scored both runners and propelled the Lady Rams to the win and eliminated the Lady Eagles from the tournament and ended their season. Finally, Bellewood-Antis scored four first-inning runs in its second-round game against Penns Valley and held on for a 5-3 victory, its second all-time playoff victory as a Class AA team. Penns Valley came back with three in the fourth inning, but then Bellewood posted another run in the bottom of the sixth and it was able to hold on for the win. The Lady Rams, after an impressive 8-2 win over Central in the first round, end their season with a record of 10-11, but they return a solid core of players to look forward to next season. For Bellewood, 20-2 and the reigning District 6 Class A champion, the win sets up a big showdown with Philipsburg-Osceola today at 4 p.m. in Philipsburg. The winner of that game goes to the championship game at Penn State’s Beard Field and gets a bid to the state tournament. Come early. It’s going to be SRO.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Singing Onstage presents ‘Beauty and the Beast Jr.’ By ALLISON GIANNOTTI correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — “We’re in costume today,” choreographer Jill Brighton said Encased in the back of a house on Pugh Street sits a colorful theatre lair decorated with confidence, acceptance and excitement. Amongst the hustle and bustle of pre-rehearsal jitters, kids scurry from room to room trying to locate their costumes and props. The rehearsal studio is filled with pent up creativity and emotion waiting to explode. “Places! Top of Act 1,” Brighton said. With this, the chatter silences, scurries stop and the music begins. Welcome to the State College Singing Onstage theatre district. Singing Onstage will present “Beauty and the Beast Jr.” at 7:30 p.m. on May 30 at the State Theatre. Directed by Heidi Biever and choreographed by Jill Brighton, the musical follows the plight of Belle, a French beauty and her captivity in the Beast’s castle. Having rehearsed two to three times each week since January, the young performers will stun

the audience with their seasoned singing, dancing and acting. The opening scene introduces the prince, relishing in his handsomeness and luxurious castle, when a beggar woman confronts him. After the prince shuns the beggar for her repulsive appearance, she reveals her true form as a beautiful enchantress, and curses the castle. The prince, assuming his new appearance as a beast-like creature, must find a woman to love and earn her love in return before the last petal falls from an enchanted rose and he remains the Beast for eternity.

the sweetness of change, acceptance and love. The performers blend melodies, harmonies and intricate dance numbers to create a moving musical journey. Matt Wilkinson, 15, makes the role of the Beast terrifying and captivating. Throughout the musical Wilkinson emphasizes the conflict between his desire to find love and his custom of acting angry. The Beast’s servants simultaneously humor and charm the audience, while addressing more serious topics like beauty, change and love. Since there were many talented girls interested in playing Belle, Biever decided to split up the part for multiple performers. “It would make sense to help students develop as actors and people if (Jill and I) didn’t give one person a main part. This way there’s no competition or auditions so amongst the cast we’re creating a family atmosphere,” Biever said. Impressively, the eight actresses bring a unique style and personality to Belle, which creates a dynamic character and adds to the cast’s energy. Biever and Brighton have cre-

UNIVERSITY PARK — The HUB-Robeson Galleries at Penn State will hold the following spring/summer exhibitions:

UNIVERSITY PARK — The Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State has named State College couple Dotty and Paul Rigby, financial supporters and members of the fine arts presenter, recipients of its 2013 Distinguished Service Award. The Rigbys were honored at an invitation-only dinner April 22 at The Atherton Hotel in downtown State College. Two years ago the couple created a $150,000 charitable gift annuity that will provide equal support for the Center for the Performing Arts and Penn State’s Music at Penn’s Woods festival. “I am so pleased to see Dotty and Paul Rigby receive this recognition given their long-standing and passionate interest and support for the Center for the Performing Arts,” said George Trudeau, director of the Center for the Performing Arts. “Their annual support through membership and sponsorship is extraordinary, and the endowment they established will ensure this legacy of support will continue in perpetuity. The Rigbys are great advocates for the Center for the Performing Arts, and their service on the center’s Community Advisory Council has been exemplary.” The Rigbys are members at the Leadership Circle level and annually sponsor classical music presentations. Most recently, the couple sponsored the presentation of Germany’s Beethoven Orchestra Bonn with Canadian piano virtuoso Louis Lortie. The couple served on the Center for the Performing Arts Community Advisory Council from 1994 to 2000. In 2008, Dotty Rigby accepted a request to rejoin the council. “On behalf of the College of Arts and Architecture, I congratulate Dotty and Paul Rigby for their recognition as 2013 Center for the Performing Arts Distinguished Service Award recipients,” said Barbara O. Korner, dean of Penn

Photography by Abby and Jeremy Drey Art Alley in the HUB-Robeson Center Now through Sept. 4 Free and open to the public The sibling photographers will be displaying 24 prints together. Abby, a 2010 Penn State graduate and staff photographer for the Centre Daily Times, enjoys creating images that are “completely different from (her) photojournalism work.” “Wondering through overgrown fields and woods throughout Pennsylvania, I’ve found beauty in things that some people see as junk, things of the past left to decay,” Abby said. Abby’s 12 color photographs being displayed in Art Alley were captured over the last several years at various locations. Jeremy, a 2006 Penn State graduate and staff photographer for the Reading Eagle, will be displaying a collection 12 photographs captured on traditional black and white film. “Making images with an out-of-date process seemed only appropriate when capturing old mechanical items that have also become out of date,” he said of the collection. “The relaxing approach to this photography has allowed me to hone an artistic style in all aspects of my photography life.” “Images 2013: The Juried Exhibition of the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts” Robeson Gallery June 5 to July 14 Public reception: 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., June 7 “Images” is an annual juried regional exhibition that was established in 1989 by the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts. Each year, the show displays dozens of drawings, paintings, photographs, prints, watercolors, sculptures and more by artists from the mid-Atlantic region. This year’s juror is Joyce Robinson, a curator at the Palmer Museum of Art, an affiliate associate professor of art history and vice president of the board of the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts. The Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts will be held July 11 to 14. For more information, visit www.arts-festival.com. All events are free and open to the public.

arts in life. “It’s really important for (the students) to be understanding of how theatre can make a difference in the life of a person or feel of a community,” Heidi Biever said. “No matter where you are or what you’re doing, there’s arts everywhere.” “This is probably the best acting school around here,” actor, Ted Rosenblum,13, said. “You get a chance to shine.” Tickets for “Beauty and the Beast Jr.” will be available before the show at the State Theatre box office or can be purchased online at www.thestatetheatre.org.

After the curtain call, claps and cheers the performers will return to their daily routines, but will be changed. “It’s truly magical,” Biever said. “Theatre really does transform people — it gives them a sense of purpose beyond their regular lives and gives them a sense of wonder of telling a story and how that brings people together.” Singing Onstage, founded 10 years ago by Heidi and Richard Biever, gives children and adults professional musical theatre training and fosters a love of the

Sheetz expanding North Atherton store By RYAN BECKLER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — It doesn’t look like much now, but a gleaming new Sheetz store is in the works on North Atherton Street. The original building has been torn down and the site is an empty lot. But come early fall a new building will should be finished — one that’s twice the size of the old one. Steve Augustine, director of real estate for the Altoona-based company, said Sheetz is spending $3 million on the rebuilding project. When it’s completed the new store will cover 6,330 square feet. The old store was cramped, with everything jammed into 2,500 square feet. The new and improved Sheetz will be a much fancier version. It will include both indoor and outdoor seating as well as a larger parking lot to allow easier access to the store and its gas pumps. “We had a convenience store there, but now our new model is a convenience restaurant,” Augustine said. Sheetz stores typically remain open

during expansion projects, Augustine said. While he wishes this store wasn’t forced to close for the summer, he says it had to be done given the small space and safety concerns. “This is a unique situation. We decided to close and scrap the whole the site,” he said. “We’ll be closed for 16-17 weeks.” The store at the intersection of North Atherton Street and Clearview Avenue wasn’t always a very profitable one, Augustine recalls. He remembers contemplating closing the location 10 years ago when a Sheetz opened on Valley Vista Drive, just two miles away. However, sales unexpectedly spiked after the other store opened and have been superb ever since. “This has been a very good store for us, and it helps that it’s in a high retail area." Augustine expects construction to last through the summer. “With the cooperation of weather and contractors,” he anticipates that the store will reopen in early September.
