‘Big Old Walk’ makes a stop in Bellefonte

By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — Two men. One amazing journey.

Kieran Sherry and Jack Chalkley are walking across the United States to raise money for charity. Their adventure took an unexpected detour in Centre County this week when a friendly Bellefonte resident gave them a place to bunk for a couple of days while they avoided some inclement weather.

Sherry and Chalkley will tell you that they’re just a couple of buddies from London who decided to take on the challenge of walking across the United States. Their story says otherwise.

The duo are walking from New York City to Santa Monica, Calif. Right now, they’re just two weeks — or 240 miles — into their trek. That’s about 10 percent of the 2,900 miles they’re going to walk by the time it’s all said and done.

“There was a guy who did it before and he did it in 90 days,” Chalkley explained.

“He was walking 40 miles a day. He planned it out so he walked mostly on

sidewalks … we’re trying to follow his route.”

Sherry, 24, is walking for CLIC Sargent, a charity that helps children with cancer.

“My best friend’s sister died just a week before we came out,” Sherry said. “So I’m walking for her.”

Chalkley, 25, is walking for Parkinson’s UK, formerly the Parkinson’s Disease Society.

“My grandfather suffered with Parkinson’s for 12 years,” Chalkley said. “He lost his battle in 2010. It’s about the work they do not only for those with the disease, but the bereaved. They put my grandmother through counseling, so it’s about the work they do after the death as much as they do trying to find a cure for the disease.”

THE DECISION Sherry and Chalkley were sitting in a London pub when they decided to trek across the United States.

“It was buy one get one free at a cocktail bar and we had a few too many cocktails,” Sherry said. “We just decided to do it.”

STATE COLLEGE — Some 20 community leaders, members and business owners came together Monday to deliver a passionate and unified message in support of cleaner energy and reduced dependence on fossil fuels.

Urging policymakers to take action on these issues, each presenter had a few minutes to share concerns and ideas on topics such as climate change, the economy, shale gas, energy efficiency and natural disasters.

Held at the Schlow Centre Region Library and hosted by the National Wildlife Federation, the press conference featured State College Mayor Elizabeth MARJORIE S.

UNIVERSITY PARK — An overcast sky and a little rain didn’t stop the fun, smiles or athletic competition at the 44th annual Special Olympics Pennsylvania Summer Games, held June 6 to 8.

Sponsored by its premiere statewide partner, Sheetz Inc., the threeday event drew more than 2,000 athletes, 750 coaches and 2,500 volunteers from communities, organizations and corporations across the state.

“These games would not take place without our coaches, officials and the volunteers who work yearround in each individual county and on these Special Olympic Summer Games,” said SOPA Opening Ceremony emcee Kellie Goodman Shaf-

STATE COLLEGE — After months of discussion, school officials have finalized the 2013-2014 budget, paving the way for a 2.7 percent tax increase. The State College Area School Board of Directors approved the $119.7 million spending plan Monday night by a 6-1 vote.

That 2.7 percent real estate tax increase will cost the average homeowner $73.

Local tax revenue pays for 83 percent of the school district’s budget. The rest of the money comes from federal and state governments. The 2013-14 budget is $3.1 million bigger than last year’s. That’s 2.66 percent more than was contained in the 201213 budget.

The new budget isn’t set in stone. Gov. Tom Corbett’s proposed state budget may not be approved until later this month. If state funding is reduced the school board could have to make spending cuts.

One board member, Jim Pawelczyk, voted against the budget. Pawelczyk says he’s concerned about revenue and spending.

A large number of people turned out to protest the possible elimination of Family and Consumer Sciences at the seventhand eighth-grade level. The proposed

changes to FCS follow the approval of the Grade 7 Academic Literacy Proposal. That proposal would create a yearlong course that’s designed to improve students’ reading and writing skills.

The board listened to a presentation on the proposed literacy program but took no action. That didn’t stop FCS supporters from speaking out. Several high school students explained how FCS courses helped them.

Emily Allegar and Katie Elder, ninthgraders from Patton Township, say they learned valuable life skills in FCS. “If you don’t find your niche in middle school, it will be harder to choose electives in high school,� Allegar said.

Joel Nelson, in the 10th grade, says his FCS courses sparked his interest in the restaurant business, which is something he intends to pursue.

The high school building project will get another look at the board’s next work session on June 17. Thousands of surveys have been mailed out, asking residents for input. About 1,000 surveys have been returned so far. The school board will discuss those survey responses on the 17th. A second round of surveys was mailed last week.

The next regular board meeting will be at 7 p.m. on June 24 at the district’s administration building at 131 W. Nittany Ave.

PSU tops $45 million in costs related to Sandusky

By LAURA NICHOLS StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Costs keeps rising as Penn State continues to pay the price for the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse scandal. As of March 31, the university has forked over $45,881,904 to pay for bills generated by the scandal. The latest figures show that Penn State spent about $1.4 million over the past three months.

Penn State totals the costs as they become available and posts them, broken down into categories, on the university’s progress Web site.

Penn State paid the first $12 million of its $60 million fine into an escrow fund in December. Penn State’s costs also include legal fees, public relations work and consultant costs. University officials say they expect some of the costs to be covered by Penn State’s insurer.

The fees, as compiled by Penn State, are as follows: NCAA Fine: $12 million Freeh Sporkin & Sullivan/Pepper Hamilton LLP: $8,159,083 Costs associated with putting together the Freeh Report.

Independent Monitor: $1,495,182 Cost for independent monitor (former Sen. George Mitchell) hired to make sure Penn State acts in accordance with the Freeh report. Mitchell is expected to release his fourth quarterly report on Penn State in August.

Walk, from page 1 They’re joking, right? Nope. “That’s the complete truth,�

Chalkley said.

Sherry had been reading a blog about a man who walked across the United States and the more they talked about it, the more they liked the idea. “It was right after Christmas,�

Sherry explained. “I said, ‘We’ve gotta do this.’�

Their charity page went up in January. In the first week, they raised the equivalent of $1,200. “That was it. There was no backing out,� Sherry said.

But it wasn’t that easy. Sherry, a recruiter, had a life decision to make. “I had to quit my job. I’ve got nothing to go back to,� he said.

Chalkley works as a chef in France. He was able to get time off from his job. “I was able to get the time off,� he said. “I’ll start back to work in January.�

After that, the duo went all in.

They booked their flights to the United States. Two weeks ago, their adventure began.

AN UNEXPECTED STOP In Pennsylvania, Sherry and Chalkley lost the route. They wound up walking along Interstate 80. “That wasn’t too much fun,�

Chalkley said.

In addition to dodging raindrops and trash, there were some road hazards that most in central Pennsylvania can understand. “It was just horrible walking,�

Sherry said. “It’s roadkill and trucks. That’s about it.�

Once they exited I-80, they stopped at the Hublersburg Inn, looking for something to eat.

There, they met Andi Biddle, the owner of the Inn. “We were just looking for a

loaf of bread,� Sherry said.

Biddle listened to their story and decided that she could do better than a simple loaf of bread.

With the weather forecast calling for heavy rains, she invited them into her home to bunk for a couple of days until the rain subsided.

They wound up staying a couple of nights at her home in Bellefonte. “It’s just really nice to be able to give something,� Biddle said. “It takes your humdrum week and gives you something unexpected. You’ve got your regular week planned and something like this happens. It’s really special.�

Sherry and Chalkley were perfect houseguests, she said. “They’ve been great to have here at the house and they’ve been great with the kids. I don’t think they realize what they’re doing by giving someone the opportunity to open up their home and give something,� she said.

The duo offered to pitch a tent in Biddle’s backyard, but she offered her couches instead. As the rain came down on Monday night, Sherry and Chalkley sipped sodas in front of the fireplace.

Biddle said she didn’t have any hesitation having the two as houseguests for a few days. “I’ve hosted soccer coaches before,â€? she said. “I met these guys and they seemed like really good people ‌ really good guys.â€?

On this night, both men were happy to have a warm, dry place to sleep. “We appreciate it,� Sherry said. “We really do. We’ve been lucky enough to meet amazing people on the route.�

THE RESPONSE The duo has been amazed at the response their website,

JUNE 13-19, 2013

www.bigoldwalk.com, has generated. Their goal was 10,000 British pounds. As of press time, they’ve already raised 9,382 pounds, or $14,621 in U.S. currency.

They have their own money, of course, and also have some corporate sponsorship.

As for the funds that are donated, they don’t really see it. “We have a charity page, so we don’t see the money,� Sherry explained. “We can’t touch any of the money. Once the timer runs out on the page, it goes into escrow. It will be split between the charities.�

None of the money raised will be used to help fund the trip. “We’ve said that from the beginning,� Sherry said. “We don’t want any of that money to pay for the trip.�

According to Chalkley, the corporate sponsorship has helped immensely. “They’ve given us a phone to use,� he said, “and flights back to London once we’re done.�

THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES Earlier this week, the duo headed toward Black Moshannon State Park as they readied to leave Centre County and venture toward western Pennsylvania and Ohio.

Although they’re about 240 miles into their journey, they’re excited for what lies ahead. “There are times when you look at the map and you realize we haven’t really put a dent into what we have to do,� Sherry said. “But we’re excited to see the rest of the country, some of the national parks, things like that.�

They know that places like Des Moines, Iowa and Omaha, Neb., can be vast.

They’ve had great luck meeting friendly people in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. They just hope

No matter what happens, they said they will always remember central Pennsylvania and the kindness they encountered in Bellefonte. “We hope our best days aren’t

ATHLETES AND their families take a break from competition to play games sponsored by Sheetz Inc., at Olympic Village, located on the lawn of East Halls.

THE LIGHTING of the Special Olympic Torch, the Flame of Hope, signified the official start to the 2013 Summer Games.

Olympics, from page 1

Since her involved with SOPA Summer Games began eight years ago, Weidemann said as much as she gives to the games, she receives so much more in return.

“I always walk away from the event saying, ‘Wow. It’s so great to see the athletes and to help them out.’ I just like to do my part to help out the community,” she said.

Like the athletes, she is grateful for the involvement of the Sheetz family and Penn State.

From providing bagged lunches and volunteers to the involvement of the Nittany Lion student-athletes, Weidemann said the games might not be possible without Sheetz Inc. and Penn State.

“All those athletes come out and give their time so the Special Olympic athletes can see what it’s like for these big time athletes. Penn State has always been so generous,” she said. “I can’t say enough good things about Louie Sheetz and how much he gives to Special Olympics.”

For 14-year bowling athlete Michael Silvis, the contin-

ued involvement of Sheetz and Penn State, along with his coaches, family and friends has made Special Olympics more extraordinary.

“Special Olympics means the world to me. It has helped me grow into the man I am today. Special Olympics is like having a second family. They are always there for you, cheering you and supporting you in your sports and in your life,” he said.

Silvis said the fact that his coaches are always pushing him for an extra 110 percent is a good thing.

“We should all strive to be the best person we can be.

Our world, my world, has expanded with Special Olympics.”

Silvis said this expansion of friends, family and fun is what SOPA is about.

“Remember, it’s not about winning or losing. It’s about doing your best, having fun and seeing old and making new friends.”

enjoyment felt by the athletes. Though the event is for the athletes, Eggler feels being a volunteer is just as rewarding as competing.

“They get so much out of it. It’s for the athletes,” he said.

“The athletes are so appreciative.”

Like Eggler, venue coordinator for track and field Col. Gerald Russell keeps volunteering year after year because of the enthusiasm displayed by the athletes, their friends and family and the community.

Though he has been involved with the summer games for 26 years, Russell still doesn’t know how to truly measure the meaningfulness of the Special Olympics.

“You just have to see them (the athletes), even those that just get a little piece of ribbon, there is such joy and

pleasure. There is something here,” he said.

Weidemann agreed, encouraging community members to become involved with Special Olympics and the Summer Games.

“Come out once and spend some time with an athlete.

You’ll end up thanking me in the end instead of me thanking you because no one can really articulate how much you get. You have to experience that. It’s a feeling. It’s a connection,” she said.

For more information about the Special Olympics or to volunteer with the organization, visit www.special olympicspa.org. To learn more about Summer Games or to become a volunteer with the games, visit www.sopa summergames.org.

are our athletes biggest fans, this year as the presenting sponsor of the 2013 Summer Games.”

Reiss said because of cash and in-kind donations made by the Sheetz family, its generosity had reached new levels.

“They are committed to making this weekend, an event you will never forget.”

Adam Sheetz, director of regional operations for the company, expressed this commitment and dedication to the athletes, coaches, volunteers and SOPA fans.

“We are so proud to be the premiere sponsor of the Summer Games,” he said. “Each year, we continue to be inspired by your determination, your sportsmanship and your efforts.”

Volunteer coordinator for Summer Games 2013 Trish Weidemann is also continuously inspired by the determination and attitudes of the athletes.

Volunteers, from page 1 stop them.

“We do everything we can to get the opening ceremonies to take place. All the athletes love that. We do try to keep it outside.”

In addition to sponsoring the event, Weidemann said Sheetz Inc., provides the Summer Games with 100 volunteers specifically for the Opening Ceremonies.

After these volunteers from Sheetz Inc. and the community spend time at the Summer Games, Weidemann said, they will come back year after year.

“You volunteer once for Special Olympics and you’ll volunteer for a long time,” she said. “The athletes are so excited. They love being at the campus. They love all the events that they have. They give our hugs. They high-five.

That is priceless.”

David Eggler, venue coordinator for track and field events, said he has volunteered with the Summer Games for the last 20 years because of his love of the event and the

Court rejects appeal by two in PSU abuse case

By MARK SCOLFORO The Associated Press

HARRISBURG (AP) — The state’s highest court turned down appeals Friday by two of the three former Penn State administrators facing criminal charges alleging they covered up child abuse complaints against retired assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.

The state Supreme Court issued a pair of unsigned orders that denied petitions for review filed by former university vice president Gary Schultz and former athletic director Tim Curley.

The court orders say the justices were not preventing the two men from raising the same issue during their criminal prosecution.

Curley and Schultz filed the sealed appeals after the grand jury supervisory judge ruled in April that he did not have jurisdiction to consider their request to have charges thrown out. At issue was the role played in their prosecution by Penn State’s then-general counsel, Cynthia Baldwin, who accompanied them to grand jury appearances.

Precisely what they argued is unclear, however, because all of the documents in the Supreme Court appeal were sealed.

Curley’s lawyer, Caroline Roberto, described the court ruling as procedural, as opposed to a substantive issue, and said it will not have a negative impact on Curley’s defense.

“To the contrary, we are actually pleased that the court has provided us the opportunity to vigorously litigate, in a full and open hearing, the extremely serious issue of attorney-client privilege and the role of former counsel Cynthia Baldwin in the grand jury investigation,” Roberto said.

Curley and Schultz’s co-defendant, former Penn State president Graham Spanier, has asked a county judge to throw out the charges against him, a matter that appears to be pending, according to the online docket.

A spokesman for the state attorney general’s office and Schultz’s lawyer Tom Farrell declined to comment, while Spanier’s lawyer Elizabeth Ainslie offered no reaction to the decision.

Sandusky, the university’s former longtime defensive football coach under head coach Joe Paterno, was convicted a year ago of dozens of counts of child sexual abuse. He’s serving a 30- to 60-year state prison sentence. He denies guilt and is appealing.

Curley and Schultz were first arrested with Sandusky in November 2011, but more charges were added against them when Spanier was charged late last year.

Preliminary hearings have not been held for the 2012 charges, and the high court’s decision could clear the way for those proceedings to be scheduled.

The abuse scandal rocked Penn State, bringing down Paterno and the university’s president and leading college sports’ governing body, the NCAA, to levy unprecedented sanctions against the university’s football program.

Former FBI Director Louis Freeh, hired by university trustees to conduct an investigation into the university’s handling of the Sandusky abuse complaints, concluded that Paterno, who died in January 2012, Spanier, Curley and Schultz concealed a 2001 allegation against Sandusky to protect Penn State from bad publicity.

The late coach’s family, as well as Spanier, Curley and Schultz, dispute Freeh’s assertions.

Climate, from page 1 marked by enough action,” he said. “For example, his (Environmental Protection Agency) missed a court-appointed deadline to finalize the rule restricting carbon emissions from new power plants. And we haven’t even begun tackling emissions from existing power plants, and now we hear the president is leaning towards approving the Keystone pipeline, bringing some of the dirtiest oil on the planet to market.”

Perry said given the threat climate change poses to future generations, the group in attendance calls on the president to embark on a “man on the moon” type of effort to break dependence on fossil fuels and begin the process of moving to clean, renewable energy.

Goreham, who introduced herself as a member of the Pennsylvania Native Plant Society and an organic gardener, said State College declared itself a “Climate Protection Community” in 2007.

“Our neighborhoods in State College are eager and willing to make needed changes,” she said. “But we cannot do it alone. (Not) by a long shot.”

Goreham said a year ago the EPA issued a draft of a long-awaited rule regarding carbon dioxide — the first restrictions on climate-changing gases from power plants.

“Despite the fact this rule enjoys broad based public support, in April, the same month CO2 levels reached new high levels in our atmosphere, (the) EPA announced it would delay putting the new rule into effect because of objections from the electric power industry,” she said.

Goreham said it is time elected officials at every level, and especially in Washington, D.C., “step up to the plate.”

“Reducing greenhouse emissions is good for everybody,” she continued.

“Meeting challenges is part of what makes our country great.”

Dumas, referencing the latest election for Pennsylvania’s 5th Congressional District, said he joined the press conference to give voice to the “over a hundred thousand votes” he received.

“Many tend to think global warming is primarily an issue for the middle class, academics, environmental activists … nothing could be further from the truth. Those most affected by climate change are poor, working-class people, often from black and brown families,” he said.

Dumas urged those in attendance to recall the images of victims from the latest climate disasters, including Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes.

“Portraits of disaster are the pictures of our poor white, black and brown neighbors,” he said. “While the parasitic polluters in U.S. industry try to polarize the situation by claiming they are creating jobs

JUNE 13-19, 2013 for the unemployed, what they are really doing is poisoning our planet which affects all the people, all the time, both in the present and for our progeny.”

Bob Potter, former executive director of the Centre County Community Foundation, said because of inaction of leaders on climate change, “we are leaving a horrible legacy to future generations.”

“We are leaving a vastly changed environment, one that will make every aspect of life on earth altered for the worse for all people, plants and animals — forever,” he said.

Potter said he implores elected officials to recognize the “dire reality” of humangenerated climate change, and to “lead immediately and decisively in the direction of a fossil fuel-free future.”

“We all must do our part,” he said, “but if our leaders don’t take strong action on climate change, they are guilty of leaving a devastating and deadly legacy to the future.”

Thornbloom agreed that climate disruption is a threat to everyday lives and to the future.

He said it is more than temperature change; it is about disrupting the basic weather patterns that affect nearly every aspect in people’s lives.

“We already see unprecedented droughts and wildfires, record-breaking heat and melting glaciers,” he said. “The time to fight climate disruption is now.”

Bill Sharp, founder and director of the Transition Center in State College, said sustainable economic growth is an oxymoron.

“We must ask: What is it about non-renewable energy that our policymakers do not understand?”

Sharp said it’s important to change the minds of the voters who “change what happens here in our own community.”

Art Heim, executive director at Discovery Space, said global leaders must apply intellect, and must be responsible for the next generation. The future of children and their children are “dependent on the decisions we make today.”

Other speakers on Monday included: Dr. Elizabeth Crisfield, climate change biographer; Dr. Ray Najjar, professor of oceanography at Penn State; Mark Henry, member of the PA Federation of Sportsman’s Clubs; Peter Morris, of the State College Borough Council; Elaine Meder-Wilgus, owner of Webster’s Bookstore Café; Steve Sywensky, owner of Fly Fishers Paradise in State College; Martha Hoffman, owner of Inglebean Coffee House; Cricket Hunter, director of PA Interfaith Power & Light; Jason Grottini, director of operations and development at Envinity, Inc.; sportsman Bob Andronici; Sylvia Neely, board member of the PA Interfaith Power & Light; parent Jon Brockopp; and Sue Smith, of the Centre County League of Women Voters.

State High celebrates graduation at the BJC

By DREW BALIS StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Everywhere you looked, there was a sea of proud parents and beaming freshly minted high school graduates. State College Area High School welcomed nearly 600 high school seniors as new alumni inside the Bryce Jordan Center Saturday morning.

The two-hour long graduation ceremony began with music from the State High Marching Band and was followed by speeches and a video before graduates walked across the stage and turned their tassels from right to left.

District superintendent Robert O’Donnell got things under way thanking spectators for their attendance and students for all their work throughout their academic careers.

“Your work has helped to strengthen our school and community,” O’Donnell said.

“There is not a person in this room who will escape disappointment and doubt.

You must approach this with grit and a positive mindset.”

The Class of 2013 includes 10 National Merit semifinalists. Twenty-one of the graduates will be entering into ROTC programs. Three students received appointments to military academies.

Valedictorian Akhil Upneja will attend Yale University in the fall where he intends to study molecular biophysics. Salutatorian Amanda Reese will stay close to home at Penn State where she will be enrolled in the Schreyer Honors College majoring in biochemistry.

Class president Alexander Goncalves served as the main student speaker.

Gonclaves encouraged his classmates to be bold and pursue their own interest rather than simply trying to make parents or other people happy.

“My advice to you is to seize every opportunity, to live life on the edge, because only then will you truly be satisfied,” said Goncalves.

“Whatever floats your boat. So many people take hapless desk jobs. I’m sure this lifestyle works for some people, but I could see myself feeling lifeless in such an environment. I like to think of the outdoors, of nature, of having a connection with everyone and everything around me.

“Life is too short to spend it doing something you hate. Everyone has a passion about something. Look for something that you can spend your time doing that you will enjoy.”

“Find a passion in the world around you. Whether you’re pursuing clown school or scuba diving, be the best clown or scuba diver you can be.”

Before exiting the stage, Goncalves thanked his vice president, Samantha Malizia, secretary Karley Ellis, and treasurer Christina Ghinos.

A video played on the Jordan Center scoreboard with students sharing thoughts about their plans, favorite teachers, how they changed and special high school memories.

Many of those memories included Little Lions football games at Memorial Field, playing high school sports, and extracurricular activities including band, debate team, and Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA).

The video gave way to principal Scott DeShong who congratulated students on balancing their school work with after school clubs and jobs.

“Do not let today be the pinnacle of your success,” DeShong said. “Be humble in your victories and resilient in your setbacks.”

DeShong finished his remarks by quoting former Penn State head football coach Joe Paterno: “You’re never as good as you think you are when you win, and you’re never as bad as you think you are when you lose.”

“Stay classy State High,” he said before giving the floor to school board president Penni Fishbaine.

Fishbaine encouraged graduates to never lose sight of their integrity and

STATE COLLEGE Area High School graduation was once again held at the Bryce Jordan Center.

This year, nearly 600 students became State High graduates. morals even when facing difficult life decisions.

“It is normal to be nervous about new life beginnings,” Fishbaine said. “View change as an opportunity.

“I believe every opportunity is a learning experience. If you choose to seek out opportunities, you will learn about yourself, your talents, and your interests. Every time you work with other people, it’s a chance to collaborate. I wish you a life of success and an abundance of opportunities.”

Judy and David McCobin, parents of graduate Matthew McCobin, enjoyed the ceremony, saying it was well organized and ran smoothly.

Glorie Josephs attended with a large contingent of her family. Her son Cooper will attend Bucknell University where he

will major in biochemistry.

“I thought it was an excellent ceremony,” said Josephs. “I really liked how they incorporated the video and music into it. It made for a nice touch.”

State High juniors Jeff Pedolski and Harry Yeatman won’t graduate until next year, but played an important part in today’s festivities.

Pedolski plays the saxophone in the school band while Yeatman is a trumpet player.

Both said they were happy to be a part of the big day for the seniors.

“We had two additional rehearsals to prepare each piece we played, but it was definitely worth the time,” Pedolski said.

“We were all really happy with how we played and to have the opportunity to witness the ceremony.”

PSU grads enjoy success at majors

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHRIS MORELLI/The Gazette

THE STATE COLLEGE Area High School parking lot will be empty for a few months while students enjoy summer vacation.

School’s out; onward to summer vacation cited it’s finally summertime.

That means books and backpacks get stashed until the fall.

Five extra days were tacked onto the school year because the district closed schools in the fall because of Hurricane Sandy. The district was forced to close the schools again in the winter because of snow.

Graduation was Saturday, but students returned to school on Monday and Tuesday to take their final exams.

Hackman and Shane Hindle say they didn’t have any exams to take, so there wasn’t much left to do over the last two days of school.

Nick Sivak had a math and a science final, but all three tenth graders agree that being dismissed from school at 10:30 a.m. made the day much easier.

“You just want to get out,” Sivak says.

By LAURA NICHOLS StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — No more teachers, no more books!

Tuesday was a big day for students in the State College school system. They’re celebrating the end of the school year and the start of summer vacation.

State College Area high school students were dismissed at 10:30 a.m., elementary schools let out at 12:15 p.m. and the middle school ended classes at 1 p.m.

Brian Hackman says the first day of summer vacation feels pretty awesome.

“I love how they let us out of school early,” says Hackman, who completed the tenth grade on Tuesday. Hanging out at Rita’s with his buddies, a pink lemonade water ice in hand, Hackman says he’s ex-

UNIVERSITY PARK (AP) — Green, at least during the summertime, envelops State College. The mountains just beyond the roads, Old Main’s lawn, the myriad Tshirts leftover from State Patty’s Day — they’re all green. Green splashes so much of this town that the greenest and most lush part of the spectrum is likely to go unnoticed, this particular area being an acre or so on the northeastern edge of campus.

There, at the Penn State University’s Center for Turfgrass Science, grasses grow in all sizes and shades. Patches of synthetic turf also have their place. Near the front, the shortest, most subtle kind of grass rises barely above the ground. This is the grass manicured for the greens of a golf course.

For years, Penn State has produced many graduates who eventually take care of some of the world’s best golf courses, and the 113th U.S. Open at Merion Golf Club in suburban Philadelphia this week further illuminates that connection. Matt Shaffer, a 1974 Penn State graduate, is director of golf course operations there. He maintains the course, continuing the circle of influence that has bound Merion and the Penn State turfgrass program.

At this point, you might equate the position of golf course manager/superintendent with Bill Murray’s character from the movie “Caddyshack.” In real life, Carl Spackler likely couldn’t find such a job (unless a course needed someone who specializes in gopher extermination). In real life, the best managers must learn a mixture of agronomy and business management when they’re in college. At Penn State, students can learn how

Penn State president Ralph Hetzel’s office, telling him the school should initiate a turfgrass program.

He wanted Penn State to do for golf course superintendents what it had been doing for farmers since its inception.

John Kaminski, current director of Penn State’s golf course turfgrass management program, is impressed by the boldness of this action: “If somebody came up from any industry and knocked on (current university president) Rodney Erickson’s door, I’m sure he would say, ‘Get the heck out of my office.’”

Hetzel didn’t.

Though members of the state Legislature with ties to Merion might have provided an extra push, Penn State ended up with $10,000 to start a turfgrass major, becoming one of the first universities to offer one.

The 80-plus years since have seen Penn State and its graduates involved with all kinds of courses and all kinds of grasses. Joe Duich, a Penn State alumnus from the 1950s and a retired professor, spent 10 years breeding grasses in hopes of finding a type less susceptible to weather and disease. His experiments led to a breed known as Penn A and Penn G. This type of grass is used on many high-end courses in the United States, including Merion. The royalties he and the university made from the sale of Penn A and Penn G helped the university build the current Center for Turfgrass Science, that expansive patch of green tucked away in the corner of campus.

Under a tree at the research center is a small stone engraved with a message dedicating the center to Valentine. The Merion Golf Club introduced Penn State to the golfing world, and Penn State continues to return the favor.

I promise to call Clearwater Pools & Spas and make this the

to develop and manage turfgrass in a general way or for sports surfaces or with a focus on golf.

The significant stature of Penn State in the golfing realm has been demonstrated this year. In addition to Shaffer, the people in charge of taking care of the golf courses for the Masters — Marsh Benson and Brad Owen at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia — and the PGA Championship — Jeff Corcoran at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, N.Y. — are graduates of Penn State. It is considered to be the first time alumni from the same school are superintendents at the three U.S. golf majors in the same year.

To understand how Penn State became synonymous with some of the world’s best-kept golf courses, you must travel back to 1928, to Merion Golf Club. Around this time, heat and humidity depleted Philadelphia area golf courses. An invasion of Japanese beetles made the grass more prone to disease.

Joseph Valentine, an Italian immigrant who spent his teenage years in a monastery, was forced to cope with these problems as Merion’s course superintendent. He came up with a proactive plan.

Rather than eradicate a few bugs and bring temporary moisture to certain grasses while still facing the prospect of similar issues in the future, why not educate golf managers to build courses and use breeds of grass that wouldn’t be as vulnerable to nature?

Such a lofty goal would require funding and organization. Along with the superintendent of the Reading Country Club and a higher-up for Toro — the lawn-mower company — in Philadelphia, Valentine traveled to State College. According to stories passed down through Penn State’s turfgrass program, the three men entered

Jobless rate shows some positive signs The May unemployment numbers would seem to indicate that the jobs market is marching in place. But hiring is actually improving — not fast enough, though still on the mend.

The overall national unemployment rate rose slightly — from 7.5 percent in April to 7.6 percent — for a healthy reason: More people are looking for jobs. Three-quarters of jobseekers actually found them.

The civilian labor force rose by 420,000 to 155.7 million, with laborforce participation at 63.4 percent. The latter figure indicates the growth in population has outpaced the growth in available jobs.

The economy created 175,000 jobs last month, slightly better than the average of 172,000 over the last 12 months of recovery. As the Associated Press reported, government spending Dale McFeatters is a cuts “are weighing on the U.S. job market”: The previously healthy manufaccolumnist for turing sector cut 8,000 workers, and Scripps-Howard News Service. the federal government dropped another 14,000.

Even as consumers faced sequester cuts and higher taxes, they spent at the fastest pace in over two years, boosting hiring in consumer-dependent industries such as retail and hotels and restaurants.

Much of the growth came from such lower-paying jobs.

Although average hourly wages rose only a penny in May, to $23.89, mild inflation has boosted spending power.

“Over the past 12 months, hourly wages have risen 2 percent. Inflation has increased 1.1 percent in that time,” the AP said.

The less-than-robust employment figures were something of a tonic to Wall Street because it meant that the Federal Reserve would continue its $85 billion-a-month asset-buying program at least into next year, in the opinion of many analysts.

Employment needs to grow by an estimated 200,000 a month to reach a jobless rate of 6.5 percent in 2015. That rate would signify a nearly complete recovery — and the Fed would begin pulling back on its asset-buying program.

In essence, the May figures were a Goldilocks number for Wall Street investors: strong enough to indicate continued recovery, but not so strong as to persuade the Fed to take its foot off the throttle.

“Who shall guard the guardians?”

The scope of the government’s eavesdropping on Americans is breathtaking, with revelations of such Orwellian import they should frighten us into burning at the stake anyone involved in information technology.

But of course that would be impractical, because we all have capitulated to the IT age with an enthusiasm that ultimately may be our downfall, leaving no one to strike the match.

Besides, the disclosure that nearly every communication we’ve had in our daily lives in much of the last decade Dan K.

Are we not safer, after all, from the terrorists that lurk around every corner from Portland to Portland than we might otherwise be without such ability?

Well, at least that’s what we are assured by our president and those he has put in charge of programs that have assembled what reportedly is enough data on you and me to fill a quintillion pages — how many ever that is. They defend this by saying it is a legally authorized intrusion into our

privacy that includes safeguards of the judiciary and Congress to protect us from another 9-11 — which, they add, it has done on more than one occasion without enumerating the instances.

That is all well and good. But please explain how that assurance of careful oversight can be verified, when the very existence of this massive intrusion has never been a matter of public debate in or out of Congress and one court is allowed to authorize the surveillance.

The 11-member court hears only the government’s arguments and operates in an atmosphere of secrecy.

Most of the time, one judge makes the decision. And no rebuttal is permitted. The result is that requests are rarely denied.

It is interesting to note once again that when running for his current office, a young Sen. Barack Obama roundly condemned the very programs he now defends. But then a Republican was in the White House. I wonder if Obama now understands what Kermit the Frog has reminded us again and again: It isn’t easy being green — or president.

This is our government. While we always need to be wary, we should not fear it. There is a need for classified programs and a watchful eye in an increasingly violent world. However, it is only a tiny distance between what is permissible under our system and what verges on despotism.

Big Brother can assure us all he wants that the intrusions are minimal. We have only his word for that and there is seemingly no way to dispute it without facts that are kept

from us. On the one hand, no one wants our enemies to know what we are doing to thwart them. That’s understood. On the other hand, built into the system is the principle that the price of our liberty may sometimes be high.

We should point out that suspicions about the two who allegedly bombed the Boston Marathon seem to have fallen through the cracks, although the Russians had warned us about the older, key brother. Were his communications lost in the vast mountain of material downloaded on to the NSA’s super-secret computers in its super-secret headquarters in the until-now super-secret programs that the entire Congress knew of but couldn’t talk about? We probably will never know the answer to that. We do know the ball was dropped.

None of this can be good for a democracy that prides itself in protecting the privacy of its citizens as well as their lives. We should trust those whom we elect to guard us from these governmental invasions. In his “Republic,” Plato wondered, as did Roman philosopher Juvenal before him, “Who shall guard the guardians?” It’s a question the founders of this republic contemplated in their system of checks and balances.

It is a tricky one when threats to our well-being seem everywhere. The emphasis in this case is balance. How can we maintain a semblance of security while at the same time preserve our freedoms? Who will make sure there is a guard watching our guardians? The press? Yes, but it, too, has fallen victim to the IT invasion.

Big Government is not the answer An 18-wheeler truck with contents reaching too high recently slammed into an overhead crossbeam on a bridge crossing the Skagit River in Washington state. The structure and two cars went splashing down, killing no one but leading to screams that we should immediately spend billions more on bridge safety.

I guess everyone forgot that President Barack Obama took care of the problem with his stimulus package passed in 2009.

Or maybe it was just rhetoric.

He had made it sound like an infrastructure paradise was on the way, and you could imagine him lost in a dream in which Jay Ambrose is a panting historicolumnist for Scripps-Howard ans would at News Service. some distant point look up old videos and marvel over the enunciated vision. He had, after all, promised a national investment as large as any since President Dwight Eisenhower’s historic building of the interstate highway system in the 1950s, an era when something of that kind was crucial.

Sorry, but no cigar. It would have taken something more than half of the $831 billion stimulus to equal the

JAY AMBROSE

final, inflation-adjusted cost of the Ike undertaking, not The Associated Press’ recent estimate of what was actually spent: $27 billion for highway projects, of which $3 billion was for bridges.

And although it has apparently been forgotten by liberals blaming any and all infrastructure shortcomings on deficit-fearing Republicans, Obama did not have to deal with the GOP. Democrats controlled both the Senate and House in those days, meaning this was a family affair, so to speak.

After the program got rolling, AP did an analysis of the 2,476 bridges that were beneficiaries of stimulus funds and found that nearly half of them were plenty safe, even though tens of thousands of potentially risky ones were not getting a dime. The thing was, the states overseeing the projects wanted to spend the money immediately to get the economy rolling along and it could take longer to start work on some of the lesssound bridges, they said.

An administration official smiled and said fine, and you might figure that made lots of sense — except that there was a bunch of other stuff in the stimulus that would not get immediate attention, either, some of it downright silly, some of it outlandish pork.

Don’t forget Obama’s cherished plans for high-speed rail ventures were far less shovel-ready than these bridges of which we speak.

In his State of the Union speech this year, Obama was at it again, this time asking for $50 billion to fix

something like 67,000 structurally deficient bridges, perhaps making up for what previously did not get done.

But there are all kinds of problems with that, too.

One is that the issue goes beyond structurally deficient bridges; that was not the problem in the Skagit River collapse.

Another is that we had a sequester cutting instead of increasing the budget.

The method of those cuts was indefensible, but we really, truly do have to watch the spending, especially after that stimulus and the add-on stimulus measures that followed, taking the final price between $1 trillion and $1.7 trillion, by a Washington Post writer’s estimate.

Still another issue is that the federal gas tax is not producing enough funds because of the economic slowdown and because of more cars that consume less gas per mile. Yet another is that the government is forever diverting infrastructure money to mass transit and other projects that don’t deal with the real problems.

Check in with some of the libertarian and conservative analysts out there, and you’ll learn that some of our bridge troubles have been getting better over the past decades. You will find discussion of tolls, of privatepublic partnerships, of more reliance on local government, and you will be reminded that prudent, responsible, disciplined government has a huge advantage over the kind that sees few limits.

It works.

With Abbottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival, Charles Wilson, who has served as chief human resources officer for the Medical Center since 2002, will move into the new role of chief community relations officer on an interim basis.

This new role was created to improve the coordination and impact of community engagement activities, traditionally shared by multiple individuals and teams at Penn State Hershey, by having a single individual responsible for oversight of the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community engagement strategy and community benefit reporting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Community service has always been a vital component of Penn State Hersheyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identity, and our faculty, staff and students view service to the community an important part of their calling to work in health care,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Harold L. Paz, chief executive officer of the Medical Center and Health System, Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior vice president for health affairs, and dean of the College of Medicine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While the collective efforts of individuals and groups within our organization have made important contributions to our service mission, a more coordinated approach will enable us to better meet the health needs of central Pennsylvania and better fulfill our role as a responsible community partner committed to improving the quality of life in the region.â&#x20AC;?

Wilson has served in various community service-oriented roles during his tenure with Penn State Hershey, including several turns as chair of the annual United Way employee giving campaign and the Chocolatetown Challenge community fitness effort. He holds a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in business administration from Penn State.

Together, we are able to help patients heal and get them back to living happy, healthy lives,â&#x20AC;? said Maria Dawson, MHA, administrative director, Mount Nittany Health Center for Wound Care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re honored to be part of the team that is meeting the need in this community for specialized wound care,â&#x20AC;? said Wilson.

Houck named interim dean at Penn State From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — Retired Vice Adm. James Houck, the immediate past Judge Advocate General of the United States Navy and a Distinguished Scholar in Residence at Penn State’s Dickinson School of Law and School of International Affairs, has been named interim dean of both schools effective Aug. 1.

Houck will provide interim leadership following the deparJAMES HOUCK ture of current dean Philip McConnaughay, who will begin as dean of Peking University’s School of Transnational Law in Shenzhen, China, on the same date.

On May 3, Penn State’s Board of Trustees approved a plan to change the operation of the currently unified two-campus law school into two separately accredited, but collaborative, law campuses of the Dickinson School of Law. Under the plan, which currently is under review by the American Bar Association (ABA), the campuses will offer curricula and opportunities that better reflect the respective strengths of each faculty and location, creating a clearer choice for students considering Penn State for law school. An interim dean will be appointed for the Carlisle campus following consultation with the ABA, and national searches for a permanent dean for each campus will follow ABA approval of the new separate accreditation structure. Houck will serve as interim dean of both campuses until an in-

terim dean is appointed for the Carlisle campus.

As the Judge Advocate General, Houck served as the principal military legal counsel to the secretary of the Navy and chief of naval operations and led the 2,300 attorneys, enlisted legal staff and civilian employees of the worldwide Navy Judge Advocate General’s Corps. He also served as the Department of Defense representative for ocean policy affairs and oversaw the Department of the Navy's military justice system. His teaching and research focus on international law and national security law, with a particular emphasis on the law of the sea and use of force.

Houck began his naval career by qualifying as a surface warfare officer aboard a destroyer. Among his assignments as a Navy lawyer, Houck served as deputy legal counsel to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and as principal legal counsel to the commander of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet, and the commander of the U.S. Naval Forces Central Command in Bahrain.

Houck served in the Navy’s Office of Legislative Affairs and also has been a Navy prosecutor and defense attorney.

Houck, a 1976 graduate of State College Area High School, holds a bachelor’s degree from the U.S. Naval Academy, a juris doctorate from the University of Michigan, and a master of laws degree from Georgetown University. Houck currently is a member of the secretary of defense’s Independent Review Panel on Sexual Assault in the Military; the Hoover Institute’s Arctic Security Initiative; the Council on Foreign Relations; and the Easter Seals Command Council, which supports military service members, veterans, their families and families of the fallen.

Houck is a State College native.

LHU renames building From Gazette staff reports LOCK HAVEN — Lock Haven University’s Council of Trustees recently authorized President Michael Fiorentino to designate the Health Professions Building as the Willis Health Professions Center.

The trustees resolution was to honor Dr. Craig Dean Willis and his 22 years of dedicated service.

Willis served as president of Lock Haven State College and Lock Haven University from July 24, 1982, through July 31, 2004, retiring with president emeriti status; during his tenure enrollment grew from 2,500 to nearly 5,000 students.

Willis was instrumental in doubling the size of the landscape of Lock Haven University, during his tenure the number of buildings built or acquired increased from 24 to 48. Willis provided the momentum

for many program initiatives, the establishment of a strong international exchange program, successful capital campaigns and increased scholarship funding.

He is considered one of the founders of the University’s Clearfield Branch Campus along with local leaders and state legislators, which provides higher education opportunities to that part of the region.

He pushed for the physician assistant graduate program and the program has grown significantly. This is why renaming the Health Professions Building in his honor makes sense,” said Michael Fiorentino, president of Lock Haven University.

“Dr. Craig Willis gave tirelessly to Lock Haven University during his 22 years of service. He led the unprecedented growth of LHU and deserves recognition,” said Guy Graham, president of the Council of Trustees for Lock Haven University.

First-ever Mayfly Festival held in Millheim

By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

MILLHEIM — The Millheim Business Community hosted the first Millheim Mayfly Festival on June 7 and 8.

Main Street in Millheim was lined with street musicians, live artists, craft salesmen, food vendors and demonstrations.

The festival was named in tribute to the Mayfly, an insect that signifies the beginning of the fishing season when it hatches in late spring.

Many local businesses were open for extra hours and offered special deals during the festival. Sidewalk vendors sold food items, jewelry, clothing, dog treats (described as “paw lickin’ good”), hand crafted furniture and many other interesting items.

There were activities for children throughout the festival, including a Mayfly costume and puppet making time at the

Green Drake Gallery. Children entered their Mayfly costume in a contest at the Inglebean Coffee House.

Several local artists were set up in and around Millheim. Artist Jennifer Shuey, of Pleasant Gap, took her easel and pastel chalks to Frankenburger Lane, where she drew a beautiful landscape in realistic vibrant colors. Shuey has a degree in landscape architecture, which she says gave her good grounding for duplicating the scenic landscape of Penns Valley. She sells her work at art shows and in galleries. Shuey is also the featured artist at the Mount Nittany Medical Center this month.

The Millheim Mayfly Festival is hosted by the Millheim Business Community, a nonprofit organization that works to foster healthy economic and cultural development of Millheim and the Penns Valley region through community cooperation, entrepreneurial innovation, and local governance.

Shaver’s Creek witnessing collapse of bat population From Gazette staff reports PETERSBURG — Doug Wentzel can count the number of little brown bats at Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center on one hand. Wentzel, a naturalist and program director at Penn State’s nature center, has been observing the flying creatures for years and in the past, he’s seen thousands make their summer homes in central Pennsylvania. At last check, the bat boxes at Shaver’s Creek house only three bats.

“I don’t think we’ll ever see the colony return as it was in my lifetime,” said Wentzel. “These bats have been ripped from the fabric of the landscape with an unprecedented collapse of a population.”

Wentzel says White-Nose Syndrome is decimating bat populations across the Northeast. Recent estimates indicate the fungal disease has killed more than 6 million bats since 2006. In Pennsylvania, all cave-dwelling bat species are vulnerable to the disease.

The declining bat population can have a direct effect on both people’s health and the food we eat. Bats can eat between 300 to 3,000 insects a night so large-scale bat deaths have Wentzel concerned.

“I’ve never worn insect repellent in Stone Valley because bats were part of the natural insect control,” he said. “I don’t know what is going to happen going for-

CENTRE HALL — The Parent-Teacher Group of the Centre Hall Elementary School sponsored its annual Spring Carnival at the school on May 31.

The carnival is a fundraiser for the PTG, and has been held annually for about 14 years. The carnival featured games in the gymnasium as well as outside contests and attractions. Each class in the elementary school devised an indoor game for the carnival. Members of the Penns Valley Area High School football team assisted in running the games, as well as serving as targets for the pie throwing contest outside.

Inside a tent in the gymnasium, principal Danielle Yoder became a fortune teller, complete with an electrified crystal ball, revealing the future events of students’ lives. She told third grader Katie Romig: “You will have a long, happy life and you will someday find a treasure.”

In front of the school building, members of the Centre Hall Fire Company dis-

played a fire truck along with a “dress like a firefighter” game, which tested the children’s ability to don firefighter clothing in the fastest time.

A petting zoo was set up outside the school building by Jennifer and Frank Zajaczkowski of the Restless Winds Carriage Service in Centre Hall. The Zajaczkowski’s brought a pony, a sheep, a goat and a llama for the kids to enjoy. Frank Zajaczkowski said that llamas were once used as guard animals by cattle ranchers to drive off predators that might harm the cattle.

On the cafeteria stage, the third-grade recorder band played several songs for the audience of parents and friends. The fourth-grade band and the fourth-grade chorus followed with several selections each. All the musical groups were led by elementary music teacher, Evelyn Mugridge.

Carnival Coordinator Amy Smith said she was pleased by the large turnout of students, parents and friends at the carnival.

She praised the efforts of all the students, teachers and parents in making the carnival a success.

ward because we are missing the top predator of night-flying insects that used to be here.”

Experts also worry about the multi-million dollar impact of insect control on farms. Michael Gannon, professor of biology and ecology and senior faculty member at Penn State Altoona, says farmers may need to increase their use of pesticides, which would lead to higher food prices for consumers.

“We’re going to be spending a lot on food. We might not notice it immediately but we are going to start seeing major problems with insects,” Gannon said.

“Bats are the only biological control agents for these night-flying insects and if they are not there, we have to control them in some other way and it will be with pesticides.”

According to a recent study, farmers in Huntingdon County, home to Shaver’s Creek, would have to spend approximately $4,067,201 in pesticides to kill insects that bats were eating for free. In Centre County, the estimate rises to $5,307,709.

Bats with White-Nose Syndrome may have a white-colored fungus, known as Geomyces destructans, on their noses or other parts of their bodies. It affects hibernating bats found in and around caves.

“It’s taken a lot of people by surprise,” Wentzel said. “The bats have just about disappeared.”

Spring Mills marsh hosts third annual Frog Festival

By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Muddy Paws Marsh near Spring Mills was the site of the third annual Frog Festival on June 8.

The event is sponsored by the Penn State Master Gardeners. The festival is a free event, open to the public. The marsh is owned by Greg and Mary Kay Williams, who also own and operate the Cooke Tavern Bed & Breakfast, and the Cooke Tavern Soups Company, adjacent to the marsh along state Route 45 in Penn Hall. Decades ago, the marsh area had drains installed, and was used as a pasture area. When the Williams bought the property, they removed the drains, returning the marsh to its natural state and opened it to the public.

The Frog Festival attracted about 100 visitors who traveled between several learning stations on the premises, to learn about different facets of the marshland ecology. Special guests for the event were Dr. Jim Julian, an instructor of biology at the Altoona Campus of Penn State University, Jerod Skebo, a biologist from the Shavers Creek Environmental Center and herpetologist Carla Hess.

Julian brought many tadpoles with him to show to festival attendees. He showed tadpoles of the tiny Spring Peeper, and played a recording of the Peeperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call on his iPod. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about the size of your thumb,â&#x20AC;? said Ju-

lian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And when you get them in a chorus of thousands, you can hear then from at least half a mile away.â&#x20AC;?

He noted that Peepers breed in shallow seasonal ponds which dry up during summer because those ponds do not have fish in them which would feed on the tiny Peeper tadpoles.

Julian presented larger tadpoles from several of Pennsylvaniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 14 or so frog species, and described their life cycles, breeding habits and other facets of amphibian life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of these frogs can live to be 20 years old,â&#x20AC;? said Julian.

Molly Sturniolo, representing the Penn State Master Gardeners, described their pollinator-friendly garden program. Local gardeners can have their home gardens certified as pollinator friendly. She noted that bees and other pollinators are in trouble as their environments are disappearing. Gardeners can help them by having certain types of plants (nectar food sources), providing shelter, water, removing invasive plants, and minimizing the use of pesticides. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important to have native plants. Native plants are the best plants to fortify the pollinators, especially native bees in our area,â&#x20AC;? said Sturniolo.

She said her office has lists of recommended plants and information on the certification process available for gardeners.

Mud Volleyball teams raise funds for Kiwanis Club

By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — The Penns Valley Kiwanis Club hosted its fifth annual Mud Volleyball Tournament on June 8, at the Old Fort American Legion on state Route 45, east of Old Fort.

The event was a fundraiser for the Kiwanis Club, which supports several charities. Each participating team paid a $100 entry fee to compete, and all proceeds went to benefit several local charities, including the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of America, Penns Valley food banks and other organizations in the area.

The volleyball court was constructed in a corn field adjacent to the American Legion’s parking lot. The Centre Hall Fire Company brought in a tanker truck and pumped the area full of water, resulting in a nearly six inch deep pit of thick, gooey mud. Players were required to wear shoes duct taped to their ankles to prevent losing them in the mud.

Six teams named Mud Busters, Mud Dawgs, Brush Mountain Mud Skippers, Team ODB, Old Millers and Salamanders competed on a chilly

morning in a double elimination tournament for medals and bragging rights. The action was fast and furious, with plenty of slips, falls and dives into the mud. Brightly colored team Tshirts quickly became a muddy brown color. At the tournament’s end, last year’s champions, the Brush Mountain Mud Skippers, repeated as champions, taking home the first-place award.

The referee for the tournament was Carol Fultz, a Penns Valley High School Physical Education teacher. Perched on scaffolding at mid-court, she guided the competing teams through many games, which began mid-morning.

Firefighter Chris Hockenberry manned the Centre Hall Fire Company’s tanker truck equipped with a hose and shower head to hose down the mud-caked players between games.

Kiwanis Club President Jim Shunk was grateful to the local businesses that gave donations to the event, and was especially grateful to the American Legion post for providing the site and support for this event. In spite of all the mud, this event was a day of good, clean fun for all.

SAM STITZER/For The Gazette

THE BRUSH MOUNTAIN Mud Skippers defeated the Mud Busters in the first game of the tournament.

ELK OF THE YEAR

PAWS ADOPT-A-PET Marley, a middle-age Maltese male, cannot wait to meet a special family who he can start the second chapter of his life with. An adorable guy, Marley would do best in an adult-only home with no other dogs. While he gets along with some dogs, other dogs tend to scare him.

Marley has also not had much experience with cats, and is hoping to find a family who will help him master the skill of being crate trained; Marley is already house broken.

If you can provide this sweetheart with the loving home that he craves, you can visit Marley at PAWS, 1401 Trout Rd., State College, or read more about him at centrecountypaws.org/dogs/.

Plenty of unique gift options for Father’s Day

By SAMI HULINGS shulings@centrecountygazette.com

With Father’s Day just three days away, children are searching for ways to show Dad just how much he means to him.

Instead of getting him yet another tie or tool, step outside the norm. Honor your dad with gifts from the heart.

Find unique gifts with special meaning or personal touches to let Dad know how much you love him.

■ Grill set: Have a dad who loves to spend time barbequing up yummy treats? Get him a high-end set of grilling utensils that include everything a grill master would ever need. Look for sets with spatula, tongs, chef’s fork, skewer and a grill brush, and of course, a manly leather case.

This will allow Dad to properly store his new tools with pride or to pack them easily for a trip to the beach.

■ Home brewing kit: Nothing says Dad more than do-ityourself projects.

For the dad who enjoys a cold brewsky on the weekends, think of getting him a home brewing kit.

Dad will love being able to share his home-brewed ale with his buddies and will be even more excited to share that you got it for him.

■ Toolbox: Though tools might not always be a personal gift, a new toolbox can be. If Dad loves his tools, he will love to have a new place to store them.

Maybe Dad has so many tools that he needs multiple places to store them. Either way, make this purchase personal. Find a toolbox in his favorite color. Make sure to find a box with a removable top tray and as much storage as possible. Just like Mom loves shoes, Dad loves tools and can never have too many.

■ New boots: If your dad is a lover of steel-toes or outdoor gear, you can never go wrong with a new boot purchase. Just make sure to get a boot your dad will use. If he doesn’t fish, rubber waterproof boots might not be best purchase.

Link Dad’s hobbies to your purchase and he will thank you a thousand times over.

■ Books: Just like you, your dad needs downtime. If you have a bookworm dad, he may do so in his favorite chair or on the front porch with a good read. Does he like history, mystery, science fiction, biographies?

Figure out what his favorite genre is and look for a page turner he will love.

■ Electronics car charger: If your dad is always on-thego, think about getting him a car charger with dozens of adapters for various electronics.

FATHER’S DAY is right around the corner. There are plenty of unique gift-giving options when it comes to celebrating your dad’s special day.

Bellefonte celebrates 25 years of cruising

By SAMI HULINGS shulings@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — From the mid-1950s through the 1970s, cruising around the diamond in downtown Bellefonte was how many locals spent their Friday and Saturday nights.

With streets lined bumper to bumper, Bellefonte was the place to show off a shined-up car.

“That was the thing, to come to Bellefonte and lap the block,” Bob Letterman, a member of the original Bellefonte Cruise committee, said.

“You had cars going one way and you had cars going the other. Everyone would stop and talk to everybody they knew. That was the cruise.”

Because of the popularity of cruising around the block, current chairman of the cruise committee Pat McCool said it would take drivers about an hour to get through downtown Bellefonte on the weekend.

“It was like everybody’s worst nightmare to go through Bellefonte on one of those evening,” he said.

Letterman said it was almost impossible to move in the town because of the amount of cars and people lining the streets.

“Friday and Saturday nights it was on.

You couldn’t move in that town on Friday

and Saturday nights. Everybody worked on their car to get it all cleaned up and shined up so we could cruise around the block,” he said.

But after a certain turn was no longer allowed to be made, lapping around the block in Bellefonte came to a stop.

“That kinda put the hold on cruising around town,” Letterman said. “I don’t know what happened, but the town just became like a ghost town really.”

Years later, these memories of cruising around and lapping the block had Letterman wishing for a car show.

“I was the one that knew that Bellefonte was the real place for the cruising. I went to Jim Kirschner, and he said a sponsor was needed.”

As time went on, Letterman got in touch with Jack Houser, a childhood friend.

“We had cars together. We ran around together,” Letterman said.

Letterman said Houser had the community connections that were needed to begin the cruise.

Houser worked to get Historic Bellefonte Inc., (HBI) involved, which serves as a sponsor for the car show.

“That’s how it all came about because Jack and I, Judge Brown, Jim Kirschner and Walt Peters met at a restaurant in Milesburg and talked about it. That’s how we started the first cruise,” Letterman said.

A DRIVER LAPS the block during the Open Cruise in 2012.

In 1989, about 40 cars were entered at the very first cruise, with many of those belonging to locals who helped with the planning.

Over the years, small changes have been made to the cruise. Increased entertainment, the addition of a motorcycle class and different sponsorship levels are among those most notable.

One of the biggest changes came in 2007 with the addition of professional judging done by GS Grifana Car Show Inc. McCool said judging by trained professionals shows the cruise is more than a local popularity contest.

“Many of the show’s out there, basically it’s the crowd’s choice or they get a group of judges within the community and a lot of favoritism plays into it. What we like about it (outside judging) is that these guys don’t know any of the guys they are judging. It’s an unbiased thing,” he said.

Even with these changes, the Bellefonte Cruise’s popularity has continued, making it a destination for local car enthusiasts and those from across the state.

“It’s a big reunion of all the people that knew everybody and hung out in Bellefonte or knew the area,” Letterman said.

Collecting Memories When it comes to the cruise, no one has more souvenirs than Dave Provan

By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Standing in the corner of his garage, Bellefonteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dave Provan digs through a box, looking for items from Bellefonte Cruises of the past 25 years.

The cardboard box is beat up. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marked with frayed edges and a layer of dust. But the box might as well be a treasure chest.

Inside, there are memories of cruises from the past 25 years. Hats, T-shirts and dash plaques.

Provan has accumulated the items over the past several years. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be the first one to tell you that he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been involved since the outset. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a newcomer,â&#x20AC;? Provan explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only been involved with the cruise since 2006. All of the vintage wear that I have was donated by people who were involved with the cruise in the early days.â&#x20AC;?

Just a few weeks before the cruise takes place, Provan will transport the box of memorabilia down to the Diamond Deli so it can be put on display for all to see. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dash plaque from the first cruise as well as some oddlooking baseball caps from the early 1990s.

The display at the Diamond Deli has prompted others to dig through their basements and attics, looking for cruise memorabilia that can be added to the window display. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When people see the display, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;oh, we have some things that you can add to it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I believe this year, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve acquired a leather jacket. The jacket is a souvenir from when we used to have a DJ come to the cruise. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to put it in the window display this year,â&#x20AC;? Provan said.

The display, however, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just T-shirts, caps and jackets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also put model cars in there,â&#x20AC;? Provan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very appropriate to do that. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all different scales and all different years.â&#x20AC;?

In addition to collecting cruise memorabilia, Provan collects a little bit of everything and anything. Along what he describes as his â&#x20AC;&#x153;man wallâ&#x20AC;? he has neon beer signs, license plates, photos and buttons. Anything associated with cars, though, tend to be his favorite. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a car guy from way, way back,â&#x20AC;? Provan said.

CHRIS MORELLI/The Gazette

BELLEFONTEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S DAVE PROVAN has a treasure chest of items from previous cruises. His collection includes everything from dash plaques to T-shirts and caps.

Some of the items Provan is most proud of are his passes from the cruise. They hang on the wall in plastic coverings. Each lists the year and Provanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title at the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people who are on the cruise committee are the most wonderful people. Obviously, we are all volunteers. I was considered a co-chair of the cruise one year, that was quite an honor. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just been doing public relations and some writing lately,â&#x20AC;? Provan explained.

Although heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only been involved since 2006, Provan knows just how important the cruise is to Bellefonte.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many stories â&#x20AC;Ś people have gone there for dates,â&#x20AC;? Provan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people tell us stories how they met at the cruise.â&#x20AC;?

As he readies his box of memorabilia for the Diamond Deli, Provan knows that the cruise is more about people than about the cars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about people. Cars are the vehicle that gets them there, but this is about people,â&#x20AC;? Provan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People like cars and they like nostalgia. But the cruise is really about the people.â&#x20AC;?

Bellefonte Cruise a family affair

By SAMI HULINGS shulings@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Bellefonte Cruise is more than just an event for Dad or Grandpa to attend. For years, cruise committee members have worked to make the Bellefonte Cruise different from other car shows, turning it from an expo for dads, brothers, uncles and grandpas, to a family affair and reunion, with events for all.

Pat McCool, chairman of the Bellefonte Cruise committee, said over the years the committee added features and events to entertain the entire family.

Gazette file photo

BOB LETTERMAN poses with his 1955 Chevy 210 Del Ray, which was an award winner at the first Cruise in 1989.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to do is spur a little more interest within (cars),â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, like all things, car enthusiasts are dying off more and more. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to stimulate that interest and re-establish it a little bit within the community.â&#x20AC;?

One such thing the committee added was a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; class for bicycles, PowerWheel vehicles and scooters, as a way to get younger children involved with a hobby in which the whole family can be interested.

McCool said many kids who bring their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;carsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wash and polish their vehicles, while talking about â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Daddyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Grandpaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;They say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m shining mine up just like his,â&#x20AC;? McCool said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much more than a show where Dad goes and parks his car and talks with his buddies. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more a familyoriented thing in terms of thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s things there for all walks of life and all ages.â&#x20AC;?

Increased child entertainment like face-painting and a clown help make the cruise more family-friendly.

In addition to being welcoming to families, the cruise has become an event to meet up with friends that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen often. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a place that is a big reunion from one year to the next. People stop and think about it, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (the cruise) been around here since the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s and the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s,â&#x20AC;? said Bob Letterman, a member of the original cruise committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they (the people) were involved with cars or involved in anything in Bellefonte, you hung out there, so you might see somebody this year that you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen since last year at the show.â&#x20AC;?

Letterman said the popularity of the cruise has only lead to the growth of its reunion capabilities for local residents, young and old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big reunion of all the people that knew everybody and hung out in Bellefonte or knew the area,â&#x20AC;? he said.

For Dave Provan, who heads public relations for the current cruise committee, said the Bellefonte Cruise holds a special place in residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hearts because it is a reminder of what yesteryears and what life is truly about. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole thing (cruising Bellefonte in the 1950s and

1960s) was about the people,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really about cars. It involved cars, but the original cruise was guys looking for girls, girls looking for guys, guys looking for their buddies.â&#x20AC;?

Provan said hometown didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter. Friends were made from Bellefonte, Bald Eagle or Penns Valley while cruising. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were buddies,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Provan said when it comes to the current Bellefonte Cruise, there is no difference. The cruise is still about people, friendship and their common love of cars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is about people. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really about cars. Though the cars play a role, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a car guy, you have to get old like me to appreciate what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really about, to realize what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really about,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about chrome valve covers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about mag wheels. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about people coming together and enjoying one another, their cars, the technology of it all and nostalgia.â&#x20AC;?

Hitting the Wall Riverside’s Wilson fires no-hitter at Lady Mounties in PIAA semifinals

By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

PUNXSUTAWNEY — The four seniors on the Philipsburg-Osceola softball team — Carly Gonder, Kate Burge, Makayla Myers, and Aisha Goss — have seen just about everything in a softball uniform during their extraordinary careers as P-O Mounties.

In that span Philipsburg won a total of 93 games, four consecutive Mountain League championships, and four consecutive District 6 championships. In 2011 the Mounties won the AA, Pennsylvania state championship, beating Brandywine Hights 1-0 in the final.

Twice the Mounties lost to the eventual state champion — to Nanticoke in the finals in 2010 and to Neshannock in the first round last season.

On Tuesday afternoon in the AA, Pennsylvania State semifinals against Riverside, those seniors and the rest of the P-O players ran into something they hadn’t seen before — perhaps the best pitcher, according to coach Jim Gonder, that he could remember the Mounties ever facing.

Kirsten Wilson took the mound for the undefeated District 7 champions with a 210 record and an incredible 13 shutouts in her last 14 games. She did not give up more than two runs in any game she pitched this season.

Wilson proved to be as good as advertised against the Mounties, if not vastly better. On the biggest stage of the season, she came up with one of her best performances — a stunning, 15-strikeout, no-hitter in a 2-0 victory over P-O that put Riverside into the state final on Friday night at Penn State.

Wilson struck out everyone in the P-O lineup at least once, and even though the Mounties did put a base runner on in six of the seven innings, none advanced past second base. Philipsburg put only five balls in play in the game and only one of them made it to the outfield.

“She (Wilson) did an outstanding job, the best I’ve seen in years,” Jim Gonder said. “We have a very good hitting team and she kept us at bay and we didn’t get a hit today. A lot of strikeouts. She was in command of her pitches and was as good as billed.

“I thought our kids were prepared well.

We knew what she was coming in and we didn’t underestimate her. Unfortunately, we didn’t get some timely hits and that’s the way it happens.”

Philipsburg pitcher Kate Burge also came into the game undefeated, and she kept Riverside off the board for the first

PAT ROTHDEUTSCH/For The Gazette

MEMBERS OF THE Philipsburg-Osceola High School softball team gather in the outfield following a 2-0 loss to Riverside in the PIAA Class AA semifinals. The Lady Mounties were no-hit, 2-0. four innings. In the fifth, however, she sandwiched to walks to Cassie Barker and Logan Snyder around a sacrifice bunt by Nicole Krantz.

Burge then struck out Brooke Barker swinging and could see herself getting out of the inning with the game still a scoreless tie.

But Wilson, who is also Riverside’s best hitter, stepped into the box and the Mounties decided to intentionally walk her and not risk a big hit. Natalie Pritts was next, with the bases now loaded with two down, and she foiled the P-O strategy with a linedrive single into center field that scored Barker and Snyder with the only two runs of the game.

“We relied on our scouting report,” coach Gonder said. “Our report said we were not going to pitch to the No. 3 hitter in situations. At that point, the way she was pitching, let’s say she gets a single and one run scores. I’m not sure that makes much of a difference. OK, we put a runner at third base and they score two runs. So we went with our scouting report, and we weren’t going to let her beat us.

“I’m not second guessing. I’ll be able to sleep tonight very well. If tomorrow the same thing happens, I’m doing the same thing.”

That was it. Neither team threatened again, and as Wilson closed out the game with two strikeouts in the seventh, P-O saw

its season end with only two losses in 25 games.

Afterward, Jim Gonder and his 2013 team met in right field one last time.

“They had great careers,” he said. “The seniors lost in the state final as freshmen, won the state title as sophomores, lost last year to the eventual state champion, and I’m betting that they lost to the eventual state champs today, too.

“What can you ask more from a group of kids than that? Carly Gonder, Kate Burge, Makayla Myers, and Aisha Goss. You don’t replace kids like that. Hopefully, the underclassmen will learn from what they showed them. It has been my pleasure coaching them.”

Despite loss in quarterfinals, plenty of positives for State High State College baseball coach Bill Tussey said after State High’s 9-3 victory over J.P. McCaskey in the state tournament’s first round that the Little Lions had one more goal to accomplish in 2013.

State College had already won the District 6 championship, advanced to the PIAA tournament for the first time since 2010, and won its first tournament game against McCaskey — all of which were goals that the team had set for itself.

Tussey did not say exactly what that final Pat Rothdeutsch goal was, but after the covers high school Little Lions’ uncharacsports for The teristic loss to Lower Centre County Dauphin in the quarGazette. Email terfinals, it’s needless him at sports@ to say that it will not be centrecounty achieved. gazette.com.

“Uncharacteristic,” by the way, is the only way to describe the loss to Lower Dauphin. The State High pitchers surrendered 15 free passes in that

game — 11 walks and four hit batters — that led to and early 9-0 for the Falcons and eventually a five-inning, 12-1 victory.

The game put an end to State College’s 17-7 season, and if taken by itself, would put a damper on all successes in the 2013 season.

But it shouldn’t.

Those successes were real, and SC’s mid and late season run through the Mid-Penn and into the District 6 and state playoffs is worth another look.

Despite victories over traditionally tough Chambersburg and Central Dauphin in April, the Little Lions began the season with a mediocre 4-4 record.

The turnaround seemed to come after consecutive wins over Mifflin County (178) and Altoona (6-0) that pushed the SC record to 6-4.

Cedar Cliff was next, and it was after that 7-3 win that senior outfielder Dan Fry and the other players could feel the team coming together.

“We’re getting there,” Fry said after the game. “We still have some guys who should be hitting better. I should be hitting better, making more contact. We’re doing pretty well for where we are in the season.”

Just as Fry sensed, the Little Lions subsequently went from playing pretty well to

playing very well. They won their next six games, which made a total of nine in a row, and finished the regular season on an 11-2 run.

Altoona, a team that SC shut out earlier in the season, was next in the first round of the District 6 tournament, and the Mountain Lions would not score for the second time against the Little Lions. It took two days because of the weather, but State College knocked out 11 hits and Nick Raquet and Ben Finlan combined for a shutout in a 10-0 win that sent the team into the finals against Central Mountain.

Von Walker, one of the area’s best athletes, took the mound for Central Mountain, and he and SC’s Raquet engaged in a riveting pitcher’s duel with the district championship and a state tournament bid on the line.

Fittingly, seven innings wasn’t enough to settle it. With Walker pitching out of seventh-inning trouble, the game went into extras with the score tied 2-2. Raquet, with his pitch count already high, threw a scoreless top of the eighth, and when Walker retired the first two batters in the bottom of the inning, everyone began thinking ahead to the ninth—everyone, that is, except the Little Lions.

With two outs, Darian Herncane walked

and was a sure bet to attempt a steal. That never happened because catcher Jason Costa sent Walker’s first pitch into the left field corner.

Herncane never broke stride as he scored easily with the winning run, and just like that, State College was the District 6 champion and had a ticket to the PIAA tournament for the first time in three years.

The State College bats returned in a 14hit, 9-3 thrashing of McCaskey at Hollidaysburg in the opening round of the tournament.

Finlan did not allow an earned run in the game, and the Little Lions scored early and often in the win.

“Honestly, that last game, the district championship game was our main goal,” Fry said afterwards, “because the last two years we lost out in districts. So, winning districts was the big thing, and this is just like the icing on the cake. Not as much as districts, but it feels so good.”

Those good feelings evaporated against Lower Dauphin, but as the sting of that loss begins to fade, the Little Lions no doubt will be able to more clearly consider the season as a whole.

There will be plenty of good things to remember.

The departure of Steven Bench from the Penn State football team left the roster with just two scholarship quarterbacks in Christian Hackenberg and Tyler Ferguson.

Last weekend that situation found its cure in the form of Michael O’Connor, a four star quarterback prospect.

O’Connor originally comes from Ontario, where he threw for 51 touchdowns and seven interceptions as a sophomore. Before his junior year of high school, O’Connor transferred to Baylor School in Tennessee, seeking a bigger challenge than his native country offered. After leading the team to a Tim Tolley is the 7-3 record and a berth in the playoffs, founder of the website, www.

O’Connor enrolled at IMG Academy in victorybellrings. He Bradenton, Fla., to develop his talents covers recruiting for under Heisman-winning quarterback, The Centre County Chris Weinke.

Gazette. Email him “Michael possesses all the qualities at psutimm@gmail. you look for in an elite student-athlete com.

— he’s the ultimate leader on and off the football field,” Weinke said in a news release from IMG. “I am excited about the opportunity to coach Michael during his senior year and continue to help him develop as he makes that transition to big time D-1 football.”

O’Connor stands 6-foot-4, weighs 225 pounds and is considered a top 10 pro-style quarterback prospect by both ESPN (No. 3) and Rivals.com (No. 8). He plans to graduate early and enroll at Penn State this coming January, when he’ll begin working out with the team. O’Connor is excited about the academic aspect of Penn State.

He told Lions247.com: “I’ll get a great education there regardless of what happens on the field. They have a great business program.”

The Nittany Lions currently have 11 players committed to the 2014 recruiting class. Due to NCAA sanctions, they are allowed to grant a maximum of 15 scholarships.

THE CENTRE COUNTY GAZETTE

Philipsburg wins tenth straight County League game PHILIPSBURG — Whatever momentum the Philipsburg Spike Island Pirates built up during their breakout season in 2012 has yet to dissipate in 2013.

It also doesn’t look like it’s going to any time soon.

After winning their first-ever County League championship in last summer’s sweep of the Lemont Ducks, the Pirates have slugged their way through the first 10 games this season without a loss and have hardly been challenged.

The latest quarry for the Pirates was Clarence on Sunday afternoon at Philipsburg High School.

The Mounties, who came within an inning of eliminating Philipsburg in last season’s semifinals, entered the game with a 7-2 record and looked to pull to within a game of Spike Island in the league standings.

Those hopes were extinguished by the relentless Pirates. Behind the shut-out pitching of Andy Lytle, 15 hits, and three home runs — two by DH Jon Shaffer — Philipsburg built a five-run lead early and then closed out the 10-0 victory with another five runs in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Lytle tossed an impressive four-hitter over the six innings, struck out six, and walked two while Shaffer’s three hits and two homers and three more hits by Matt McCamley led the Pirate offense.

“I think now more than ever, since we won it last year, we have a target on our backs,” McCamley said. “That’s pushing us to play more. Teams are going to push now. We’re the champs, like Lemont was for seven years. They’re out to get us, and I think we are playing with a chip on our shoulders to prove that last year wasn’t a fluke.”

After Philipsburg scored a single run in the first inning on an error, a single by McCamley, and a throwing error on a pick-off attempt by Clarence pitcher Ryan McNamara, Brandon Myers added another run for the Pirates with a lead-off homer in the second.

Shaffer then made it 4-0 in the third with a two-run shot far over the left-center field wall following a single by McCamley.

“It was a change-up,” Shaffer said, “and he

STATE QUALIFIERS

kind of left it right down the middle. I was a little out front on it, but I’m glad I made contact.

That’s all I was trying to do after I struck out my first time at bat. Just taking baby steps I guess.”

Even down now by four, the normally hardhitting Mounties were still in reach, and they threatened to climb back into things in the fifth inning.

Justin Koleno led off the inning with a walk, and Derek Jabco followed with a line drive down into the right field corner for a double. Koleno never stopped rounding third base and looked to put up Clarence’s first run, but a perfect relay throw by second baseman Matt Curtis to catcher Ryan Koch just got Koleno at home on a close play.

Lytle, with a runner at second and one out rather than second and third with none out, bore down and retired the final two batters the end the inning.

Shaffer then extended the lead to 5-0 in the bottom of the inning with an even longer home run over the center field wall.

“He threw me an outside fastball that I just happened to make good contact on,” Shaffer said. “I mean, I’m glad I was able to help the team today and come up here and play for them.

It’s always fun, and hopefully we can keep it rolling.”

Philipsburg did keep it rolling in the sixth inning. The Pirates strung together six consecutive hits in the inning, including consecutive doubles

by Ryan Mostyn, McCamley, and Shaffer, that plated five runs and ended the game due to the 10-run rule.

“Clarence is one of our biggest rivals in the league,” Philipsburg manager Tyler Good said, “and to have them up here on a Sunday afternoon was exactly what we were shooting for. I didn’t exactly think we were going to 10-run them, because they’re not the team that does that, but it is a testament to our lineup and to Lytle on the mound.

“The guys on this team just hate to lose. You can see right now, we are playing all out. This is one of these seasons where we can put it all together and make a good run at the championship again.”

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT New topics offered at Palmer Museum of Art

By MARJORIE S. MILLER mmiller@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — From self-portraits to water colors, summer workshops at the Palmer Museum of Art offer the community a chance to explore the many mediums of art. And this year, a new door will open for a different set of pupils.

Varying every year, each three-hour workshop is thematically linked to a specific collection at the museum, said Dana Carlisle Kletchka, the museum’s curator of education.

“They really spend some time in a special exhibition,” she said of the workshops.

The workshops, which started in 2001, are available for both children and adults.

However, this year a June 15 class will be geared towards those aged 14 to 18, Kletchka said.

Called “Metamorphic Me: Self-Portraits Inspired by Leon Kelly,” the class will explore the stylistic diversity of Kelly’s works and discuss ideas about metamorphosis and change in the Palmer exhibition “Suspended Contemplation: Drawings and Watercolors by Leon Kelly,” according to Palmer’s website.

In this session on Saturday, participants will develop self-portraits that utilize contemporary materials to create unique drawings which will then be deconstructed and reassembled. The goal, the website states, is to fuse Kelly’s unique style with the tools and techniques used by illustrators and street artists working today.

Some of this summer’s other topics include “Strategies of Engagement through Contemporary Portraiture” for adults, “My Town: Special Spaces and Places in Central Pennsylvania” for ages 5 through 8, and “Magnificent Mezzotints and Magical Monoprints” for ages 9 through 12.

Workshops are offered from June through August.

One of the workshops, Kletchka said, focuses on surrealist water colors, “which is a medium that is notoriously difficult to work with.”

Kletchka said it’s not often people get a chance to have “directed hands-on experience with art,” she said, which is something these workshops provide. They present an opportunity for those who

aren’t artists or experts to learn more about the process, have fun and be creative, she said.

Part of the reason these workshops are offered during the summer, she explained, is that people often have more time during the summer to devote to special projects or interests, or take classes they wouldn’t otherwise have time to.

Additionally, the area audience changes during the summer, Kletchka said, since families may be in and out of town for vacations, and students may be away for the season. That’s why it’s important for the Palmer Museum of Art to reach out to community members who are here, she said.

And since these sessions are free, they are accessible to a wide variety of people and families, Kletchka said.

“We really do welcome anyone who’s interested,” she said.

In her experience, Kletchka notices that younger children may use the workshops more to explore and play, while adults often attend because a certain theme or medium is a hobby of theirs, or a class is something they’ve always been interested in trying.

“Different people have different motivations for coming,” she said.

Planning for the summer workshops begins early in the year, Kletchka said, and involves discussing ideas with the workshops instructors, who are often artists in the community, PhD students or those who have worked in museums before.

All workshops are free, and materials are provided, she said.

The classes are limited to about 15 to 20 participants, Kletchka said. However, parents or guardians are invited to attend the workshops for young children.

Kletchka said if someone isn’t sure about trying out a workshop, they should try to remove all doubt and hesitation and “just do it.”

“Just go and explore and have fun,” she said. “You have nothing to lose.”

Space is limited and participants must preregister by contacting Kletchka at (814) 863-9188 or dck10@psu.edu.

For more information about the workshops, or for a complete list of the schedule and class descriptions, visit the Palmer Museum of Art’s website at www.palmermuseum.psu.edu.

WORKSHOPS AT THE PALMER A brief workshop schedule, and descriptions, provided by the Palmer Museum of Art’s website: For a complete list of upcoming events, visit www.palmermuseum. psu.edu.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26: 10 A.M. TO 4 P.M. Workshop for Teachers: Strategies of Engagement through Contemporary Portraiture Preschool and K–12 art teachers are invited to spend four summer days exploring contemporary portraiture and self-portraiture in the collection of the Palmer Museum of Art. Participants will co-develop theoretical and practical approaches to incorporating contemporary art into their curricula; discuss readings on contemporary art, museums, and curriculum; engage in group discussions, in-gallery experiences, and studio projects; and take away new information and images for classroom use.

Facilitated by B. Stephen Carpenter II, professor of art education, and Dana Carlisle Kletchka, curator of education. Act 48 credits are being offered through the Pennsylvania School Study Council, or educators may enroll in “Art Education 597A: Professional Development Summer Institute” to participate in the institute followed by a six-week online course. Preregistration is required for either option; please contact the curator of education at (814) 863-9188 or dck10@psu.edu.

SATURDAY, JULY 6: 10:15 A.M. TO 1 P.M. Workshop for Children and Youth: Magnificent Mezzotints and Magical Monoprints This workshop will give students the opportunity to creatively investigate the exhibition La Manière Anglaise: Mezzotints from the Permanent Collection through a guided treasure hunt. Each participant will then make several monoprints based on their discoveries in the museum, using a reductive method similar to what artists use when creating mezzotints.

This fun and exciting process allows students to investigate positive and negative space, consider the role of light, use their imaginations, and learn simple printmaking techniques. Facilitated by artist and art educator Natalia Pilato. Recommended for ages 9-12.

A parent or adult learning partner is encouraged to accompany young attendees; participants should wear appropriate clothing for working with materials.

Workshops are free, but participants must preregister by contacting the curator of education at (814) 863-9188 or dck10@psu.edu.

SATURDAY, JULY 20: 10:15 A.M. TO 1 P.M. Workshop for Children and Youth: My Town: Special Spaces and Places in Central Pennsylvania From Your Town to Ours includes scenes from towns all across Pennsylvania.

The prints often depict government and private buildings, local landmarks, and the daily activities of residents. Participants in this workshop will look closely at the prints to discover their unique features, discuss the things that make their own town special, and utilize monotype and relief techniques to produce a set of personalized printed postcards. Facilitated by art educator Sue Uhlig. Recommended for ages 5–8.

A parent or adult learning partner is encouraged to accompany young attendees; participants should wear appropriate clothing for working with materials.

Workshops are free, but participants must preregister by contacting the curator of education at (814) 863-9188 or dck10@psu.edu.

Stax of Trax keeps the vinyl spinning

By SHAWN CHRIST StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — Anne Triolo usually starts her shift at Webster’s Bookstore Café with a little bit of jazz. As the day goes on, she turns on some funk or maybe a little bit of classic rock. Whatever genre fits her mood.

“It’s great because I get to explore all kinds of music,” she says about the collection of vinyl located a few feet away from the front counter.

The collection of records, which includes everything from funk to bluegrass, is part of Josh Ferko’s used vinyl operation, Stax of Trax.

After graduating from Penn State in 1979, Ferko worked in music stores around town such as Arboria Records for 20 years before opening his own vinyl shop within Webster’s in 2002. In the fall, he will celebrate his 40th anniversary of working in the music business.

“I’ve been at this a long time,” he says.

“I’m a veteran.”

While growing up in Pittsburgh, Ferko says bands like The Yardbirds and The Kinks sparked his interest in music and, more specifically, vinyl.

As he got older, Jimi Hendrix caught Ferko’s attention before he discovered genres like reggae and blues. His love affair with guitar riffs and funky rhythms is why he has continued to buy, sell and share music.

“I’ve always been a music guy and it’s really been my life since I graduated from college,” he says. “I just love music and I’ve

always considered vinyl to be the ultimate format. We all knew on a street level that vinyl was the thing from the beginning and that the record companies had no clue because vinyl would always survive.”

Like other vinyl enthusiasts, Ferko believes that records just sound better. Listeners get a full spectrum of sound because of analog recording.

“Digital, no matter what format, is still going to be sampling,” he says. “It’s not the entire spectrum of sound. It’s a trite thing to say, but vinyl gives you that warm, fullrange sound.”

Triolo agrees as the relaxing jazz of Herbie Hancock plays throughout the store at a volume where customers can experience the smooth, scratchy sound.

“It helps create the mood,” she says before going to flip the record. “The scratches are part of the whole flavor.”

And to make the experience even better, records come with covers and artwork that also attract potential buyers.

“You look at a CD cover and it’s kind of nothing and the next step is MP3 and it is actually nothing,” Ferko says. “(Vinyl) is the whole package — mainly the sound followed by the artwork. The artifact that’s in your hands. It’s something real.”

In order to keep his business running, Ferko travels all over to find records that are rare, interesting or popular.

One day last week he journeyed two hours east to look at some vinyl. The next day he traveled two hours west.

Triolo recalls Ferko taking a trip to sift through a collection of more than 5,000 records.

Inaugural Governor’s ImPAct Awards held From Gazette staff reports BELLEFONTE — On May 23, companies from around the state of Pennsylvania converged at the Hershey Lodge for the first-ever Governor’s ImPAct Awards.

This event was conceived by Gov. Tom Corbett, the PA Department of Community and Economic Development and the Team PA Foundation to pay tribute to businesses that are creating jobs and actively investing in Pennsylvania. To be eligible, companies first had to be nominated by their representative to the Partnerships for Regional Economic Performance program. Then, the merits of each nominee were scored by an independent panel of judges to determine the final winners in each PREP region.

Three representatives from Bellefontebased Restek Corporation — Shaun Smith, Karen Kishbach and Nicole Simpson — accepted the Export Impact award on behalf of the employee-owners of Restek. This award comes soon after Restek announced the opening of a new subsidiary in the People’s Republic of Chin a — joining offices in the U.S., France, Germany, UK and Japan in addition to a distributor network that covers over 100 countries across six continents.

As a company that started in a single room of a business incubator just over 25 years ago, Restek was recognized for its expansion into a global provider of cutting-

STAX OF TRAX in downtown State College is owned and operated by Josh Ferko. There are more than 5,000 records in his “collection” at the shop.

Cheech and Chong make their way to the register. When younger customers ask how the records work, she shows them.

“I don’t need every college kid to come into the store and buy records to make a living,” Ferko says. “I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the demand. I think that’s where it’s going to survive, in that niche market.”

As he continues his efforts of keeping vinyl alive, the challenge is just finding good records that people want to hear.

“I think there’s going to be enough people to keep it alive,” he says about the vinyl business in general. “I think it will go beyond being a little cult thing because you hear more people talk about it. Once people get into it, they really get into it.”

“He has so much experience and knows right away what to look for,” she says. “He’s a real expert.”

The many thousands of records Ferko owns in his personal “sound archive,” which he calls his collection, continues to grow daily — one small advantage to owning a record shop.

And the college town atmosphere has benefited his business. A wide variety of people of all ages and occupations stop in his store to look through records by Eric Clapton, Johnny Cash, Miles Davis, Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Wonder.

Triolo, who works at Webster’s five days a week, has rung up customers buying obscure folk and bluegrass records. Even comedy albums by Richard Pryor and
