Hundreds walk in fight against cancer By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — They came to walk. And walk they did. Nearly 450 people spent the weekend participating in Bellefonte’s Relay for Life, which was held at Governor’s Park on May 31 and June 1. The weather was nearly perfect as walkers filled the track Friday afternoon. Event chairwoman Gail Miller said she was pleased with the turnout. “We had some teams that weren’t able to come out this year, but we have new teams so we’re grateful for that,” she said. “We had a great turnout, lots of entertainment and wonderful weather.” Miller said that the event raised $89,561, well short of the goal of $109,000. However, fundraising efforts will continue until next year’s Relay for Life. While the actual Relay for Life lasts just 24 hours, planning the event is a year-long process, according to Miller.

“It really is. It starts in the fall with a kickoff,” Miller said. “This is very emotional, especially for the survivors. We try to make this really special for them.” On Friday evening, there was a special dinner for survivors, which was served in one of the park’s pavilions. Miller is a survivor herself. “I was diagnosed in 2008, so I’m a five-year survivor,” Miller explained. “I’d been involved with the Relay since 1999 … but this has special meaning.” During the Relay for Life, there were plenty of activities to keep walkers and non-walkers busy. There were games, food booths and, of course, the alwayspopular Miss Relay contest, in which men dress up in drag to raise funds. There was also a study being conducted by the American Cancer Society: The Cancer Prevention Study-3. The American Cancer Society was at the Relay looking for volunteers who were willing to fill out a

Reporting of suspected child abuse on the rise By LAURA NICHOLS StateCollege.com

By BRITTANY SVOBODA STATE COLLEGE — It what has become a positive development in the aftermath of the Jerry Sandusky scandal, more people are reporting suspected child abuse cases in Center County and across Pennsylvania. The Centre County Child and Youth Services fielded 225 reports of suspected child abuse in 2012. That number is up from 185 reports in 2011, 180 reports in 2010, and 160 reports in 2009, says Centre County CYS director Julia Sprinkle. In 2012 the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare received 26,664 reports of suspected child and student abuse statewide, an increase of 2,286 reports from 2011. There were 24,378 reports of suspected child abuse in 2011, according to the state’s annual child abuse report. An increase in suspected child abuse reporting doesn’t necessarily mean more children are being victimized. It means more people are recognizing the signs of abuse and doing something to stop it. Heightened awareness of child abuse — recognizing the signs and knowing how to alert authorities to get the proper help for children — was sparked in part by the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse trial in June 2012. Joyce Lukima, vice president of services at the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape, said she believes the Sandusky trial helped in making adults more aware of child abuse, specifically sexual abuse. “They’re now really seeing they can play an active role in getting help for children they believe have been abused,” Lukima said. In 2012, 65 of the 225 reports received by Centre County CYS were suspected child sexual abuse. Sprinkle said 23 of the 65 reports were “indicated” — which means investigators believe child abuse had occurred — and 42 were “unfounded,” meaning that abuse was not detected. There were 158 reports of physical abuse against children and two reports of emotional abuse in Centre County, Sprinkle said. Both reports of emotional abuse were unfounded as were 11 reports of physical abuse. Just because a report goes “unfounded” does not mean Centre County CYS closes the investigation altogether, Sprinkle said. If issues linger, certain services may still be offered to the family in question. When a report is made, Sprinkle said, there are a number of options for the child. Sometimes, the assailant will be arrested, convicted and put in jail. If a child is being victimized by someone they live

CONSTRUCTION CONTINUES: The work continues at Memorial Field in State College. Earth is being moved as the field is readied for new bleachers, which will be in place for the start of the 2013 high school football season.

Memorial Field work keeps pace By MARJORIE S. MILLER mmiller@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Construction projects at Memorial Field are progressing nicely, with substantial completion scheduled for late August and no foreseen impact on fall sports. The four-part renovation plan at State College Area High School involves replacement of the west bleachers and retaining wall, sinkhole repair, artificial turf replacement and temporary east bleacher installation, said Ed Poprik, director of the physical plant at the State College Area School District. Significant completion is anticipated for Aug. 23, Poprik said. “The sinkhole project is completed,” he said. “The west bleacher project is in progress. The turf and temporary bleacher projects will begin in July and August, respectively.” Poprik said the work, which began in April, mainly is related to structural concerns in a very old facility. “We were required to keep the stadium safe and functional,” he said.

The west bleacher project, which is expected to cost $2.3 million, is being funded by the State College Area School District as part of its routine capital projects funding, Poprik said. The need for the project was identified in 2008 when a portion of the bleachers were closed due to deterioration of the retaining wall along Fraser Street, he said, which in turn created concern of the structural integrity of a portion of the bleacher assembly. And the sinkhole project, which is being funded by the State College Borough, was determined in 2012 during routine preparation for the 2012 fall sports seasons, Poprik said. “Subsidence was discovered around the sinkhole structure, which is under the east bleacher assembly,” he said. “The portion of those bleachers over the sinkhole was detached and later removed due to structural concerns.” Poprik explained the artificial turf was installed in 2003 and at 10 years old was nearing the “end of its useful life.”

STATE COLLEGE — After already opening nine primary school classrooms and a sewing school in Rwanda, two local women look to build more classrooms and open more schools. Mama Arlene Brown and Carol Falke went to Urukundo, Rwanda in March to continue opening classrooms and train local community members on how to teach and farm. “Each time, I see people growing,” Falke said. Falke retired from her work as an associate director of development at Penn State and director of development at the State Theatre in 2010, and then became involved as a humanitarian in Africa through St. Paul’s Methodist Church in State College. Brown first went to Rwanda to work in refugee camps in 1996 just after the genocide. She returned in 2001 in hopes of opening a children’s home, which finally happened in 2006. She helped start Urukundo Foundation that led to the Urukundo Children’s Home and Learning Center. Three more classrooms were built by the time Falke arrived in Urukundo in March, and said three more will be built by January 2014.

According to Miller, the response was strong. “It’s something new, and we had a lot of people signed up for that,” Miller said. “It’s something that’s going to help us diagnose cancer in the future.” One of the largest groups at the Bellefonte Relay for Life is a group called Tara’s Angels. The group is in its 12th year, according to organizer Tara Ripka. “Our team consists of about 30 people … a good team of family and friends,” she said. “Our first fundraiser is a Halloween party in October and we go year-round. This is a huge event for us.” Ripka is a breast cancer survivor. She was 27 when she was diagnosed with the disease, and she is a 13year survivor. “I found out I had cancer and the next year we did Relay,” Ripka said. “We’ve been going ever since.” As the sun began to set at Governor’s Park on Friday night, team representatives lit candles that surrounded the walking path. After that, there was a special survivor celebration lap that added to the emotional evening. “I was young when I found out,” Ripka said of being diagnosed with cancer. “But because I was young I knew I was going to beat it and I did. I had two beautiful kids afterwards. I’ve been going strong ever since.” “Everybody knows somebody who has been touched by cancer,” Ripka said.

Abuse, from page 1 with that child may be sent to live with another family member. Sprinkle also attributes the rise in awareness and the increased reports of suspected child abuse to the efforts made by several organizations around the county. “I like to think it’s the fine work of some of our partners in the community who

know what to look for, such as the YMCA, the Centre County Women’s Resource Center, and Darkness To Light. They’re educating the community and bringing more awareness to people,” Sprinkle said. Lukima said the Sandusky trial heightened the sense of responsibility in adults to learn and understand the signs of child abuse. The acknowledgment by adults that they can do something takes significant weight off of a child’s shoulders.

“Adults are more aware now; they notice things in a child’s behavior, or they may see a relationship that raises some red flags. We’re getting adults to pay more attention as opposed to having children speak up,” Lukima said. “This is part of what we need to do.” Some hesitation may still remain, however. Lukima said many people worry about what will happen if they report suspected child abuse; where the young victim might end up. It’s not about taking a child away from his or her home, Sprinkle said, but rather, getting the child and the family the support they need. Lukima said the best thing to do is to make a report whenever child abuse is suspected. A trained investigator will take over

the case and determine the best possible next step. What’s most important is providing a safe environment for children, Sprinkle said, so that they can come forward and seek the help they need. “More people are recognizing when [abuse] is happening and more people are getting the help and support they need,” Lukima said. In Centre County, many more people now know about organizations such as Centre County CYS and the Women’s Resource Center, which offer support to victims, even if it’s just someone to talk to. According to Sprinkle, “‘People say, I didn’t even know you guys existed,’ and we say to them that there’s somebody that cares about the children.”

THE CONSTRUCTION at Memorial Field has been picking up in recent weeks. The old bleachers have been removed as a part of the multi-million dollar project. Field, from page 1 “Based on the amount of disruption, it did not make fiscal sense to try and remove and then reinstall portions of a turf system that only had a year or two of life left,” he said. Temporary bleachers will be installed

over the sinkhole to replace lost stadium capacity while funding and design for a larger project is determined, Poprik said. “The project is proceeding well at this point and should be a great improvement to this important facility,” he said.

Lawyer: NCAA actions affected entire PSU community By GENARO C. ARMAS The Associated Press

BELLEFONTE — From former players to faculty members, a mini-cross section of the Penn State community has partnered with the late head coach Joe Paterno’s family in suing the NCAA to overturn the landmark sanctions against the school for the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. While the Paternos are the headliners among the plaintiffs in the civil suit filed on May 30 in Centre County court, 19 others with ties to Penn State are also seeking a jury trial to reverse what they call the NCAA’s swift and unlawful punishment of the storied football program. Paul Kelly, an attorney representing trustees, faculty, and former players and coaches, said the action related to the impact on “the entire Penn State community.” “I would say the overwhelming majority of the complaints and the facts really relate to ... due process, and the fairness and actions of the NCAA,” Kelly said in a phone interview. “It’s much broader than (the Paterno family’s claims) and I hope people realize that.” Therefore, Kelly said, his clients had no other choice but to turn to the courts “since the NCAA acted in an area in which it had no authority, failed to follow its own rules, forcibly imposed an onerous result on innocent parties” and refused to recognize appeal efforts. In Irving, Texas, NCAA president Mark Emmert — named as a defendant in the lawsuit — said he had not reviewed the filing and declined comment on individual cases. He spoke to reporters after addressing Big 12 Conference presidents and athletic directors during their spring meeting. “We have a number of lawsuits out there around a number of cases ... I’m perfectly fine to have an opportunity for us to state our case and have it heard in a court of law, then we’ll let a legal system do its work,” he said. “Again, I’m always happy for the NCAA and for college athletics to make its case because I think it’s got a pretty powerful case for what it is and what it does.” The 40-page filing culminated months of rumors about whether the Paterno family and others would enter the already complex web of litigation over the sanctions. Most notably, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett has filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA. Penn State itself is not a party in the latest suit. The university said it remained committed to fully complying with the sanctions levied last July, including a four-year bowl ban, steep scholarship cuts and a $60 million fine.

Former FBI director Louis Freeh’s scathing report for the university on the scandal concluded that Paterno and three school officials conspired to conceal allegations Sandusky, a retired defensive coordinator. Those conclusions have been strongly denied by Paterno’s family and the officials. The lawsuit blasts Freeh’s report as an “unreliable rush to injustice,” and that the NCAA improperly relied on the findings instead of conducting its own investigation. Acting with uncharacteristic speed, the NCAA delivered its punishment less than two weeks after Freeh’s findings were issued. “The road may be long and the fight will be tough, but in the end, we will do right for Penn State,” the trustees, faculty members, and ex-coaches and players in the case wrote in a letter Thursday to other former players explaining the action. “Everyone involved deserves fairness, due process, truth and a just outcome — and this is our cause,” they wrote. Besides the Paterno family, Paterno’s son, Jay Paterno, is listed separately as a plaintiff — as one of two former assistant coaches — along with Bill Kenney. The other 18 plaintiffs are: ■ Trustees Ryan McCombie, Anthony Lubrano, Adam Taliaferro, Peter Khoury and Al Clemens. McCombie, Lubrano and Taliaferro weren’t on the board in November 2011, when the board fired Paterno — a decision that still irks many alumni and former players. Taliaferro is also a former player who gained recognition for his recovery from a severe spinal cord injury during a game in 2000. McCombie, in a letter Wednesday to trustees chair Keith Masser explaining his position, said the Penn State case was an example of how the NCAA was an “out-of-control monopoly” that uses its power to threaten and bully members. Khoury is a graduate student and a gubernatorial appointee to the board in October 2011, a month before the scandal hit. Clemens was on the board in 1998 and 2001, during

which Freeh said Paterno and the school officials covered up allegations against Sandusky. ■ Faculty members Peter Bordi, Terry Engelder, Spencer Niles and John O’Donnell. The faculty has suffered “collateral damage” from the sanctions, Kelly said, due to the trickle-down impact of the scandal. He included attracting and recruiting faculty and top-flight students, and pay raises as areas that might be affected. ■ Former players Anthony Adams, Gerald Cadogan, Shamar Finney, Justin Kurpeikis, Rich Gardner, Josh Gaines, Patrick Mauti, Anwar Phillips and Michael Robinson. Each played between 1998 and 2011 — the years during which the NCAA vacated 111 wins under Paterno as part of the sanctions. That resulted in Paterno no longer holding the record for major college victories. Of the group, Robinson might be the most notable as an NFL fullback with the Seattle Seahawks. Besides the NCAA and Emmert, the lawsuit names Oregon State president Edward Ray, the former chair off the NCAA’s executive committee, as a defendant. Sandusky’s arrest in November 2011 ignited one of the worst scandals in the history of college athletics. “We talk about transparency and getting to the bottom of it,” Kelly said. “We talk about that for the victims as well. In my view, the victims haven’t had the opportunity to have this matter fully reviewed.” Sandusky was sentenced to at least 30 years in prison in October following his conviction last summer on dozens of counts of child sex abuse covering allegations on and off campus. AP Sports Writer Stephen Hawkins in Irving, Texas, contributed to this report.

Rwanda , from page 1 To build three complete classrooms — which includes furniture, a water tank, a bathroom facility and classroom equipment — it costs about $54,000, Brown said. That money is raised mostly through donations from community member and organizations, Falke and Brown said. Three more teachers have recently been added to the primary school along with the new classrooms, Falke said, making the total of nine teachers and one administrator. Since more classrooms are being added more jobs are being created, which Brown and Falke say helps the economy in Urukundo. “Each time you’re hiring workers to build the school,” Falke said, “you’re hiring people to build the desks and furniture and you’re buying supplies for the school.” “So far we have been able to stay local, which helps the economy and the community,” Brown said, “and it’s giving the people a purpose.” Falke brings teachers with her

on her trips to work with the Rwandan teachers in the primary school. They share different ways of teaching, which Falke said she finds exciting because new concepts can be introduced to the curriculum. “It’s a new way of teaching,” Brown said. “We use the culture there and the teachings there along with our own.” Brown and Falke said that more preschool-age students will be added to the primary school as more classrooms are built. “We’re just trying to stay ahead of them and keep adding classes so the kids can keep graduating and we have more classrooms to teach in,” Falke said. There is a backlog of children waiting for admission to Urukundo, Brown said, but more classrooms need to be built before more students can be accepted. “We have to know what our limitations are and what we can do well,” she said. “If you get too many children you’re not going to do a good job because you don’t have the facility and you don’t have the teachers.” There are 157 students from a variety of economic backgrounds

enrolled in the primary school, Brown said. When Falke went to Rwanda in March, she helped open the Urukundo Tech Sewing School. She brought with her about 100 pounds of sewing materials people donated, and has about 50 more pounds to send over with the group traveling to Rwanda in June, she said. One of the things Brown said she would like to see in the future is a day care for young children whose parents work and need a place for their kids to be safe. She also said she would like to build a culinary arts technical school as well beginning with a bakery, which is a possibility because the foundation already has an up and running farm. “We have cows and we have chickens, so we have eggs and milk,” she said, “which are two of the main products needed to have a bakery. We are in a perfect position to start a culinary arts school.” Falke and Brown are also looking for volunteers, including general school teachers and gym teachers, to go with them to Rwanda and continue to provide educational support.

SCASD goes online to provide details on high school project By LAURA NICHOLS StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — The State College school board is going the extra mile to get community buy-in for the new high school project. A new webpage is now devoted to the ongoing debate, and transparency is the watchword. A similar high school building project crashed and burned a few years back after angry residents complained they weren’t included in the process. Have a question about the State College Area School District’s high school project? Did you miss a community forum or board meeting? All of the project-related infor-

mation is now online. State High: The Next 50 Years was launched this spring in an effort to offer residents constantly updated information on the ongoing project, which will go to referendum in November. School board of directors president Penni Fishbaine said while a revamped State College Area School District website, as a whole, will be revealed in the summer, the board wanted a page devoted to the high school project available sooner. “The board wanted to make sure people could receive information on our high school project in a user-friendly manner, and the information would be easy to

find,” Fishbaine said. “Rather than needing to view multiple places and read through board meeting and workshop minutes, people can now find information on the high school project in a succinct and easy-to-understand manner.” On the homepage, the high school project website features various renderings of what a modern school would look like. The subsection “A New State High” outlines various concepts and potential building sites for a new school. A “Current Facilities” tab gives visitors a look at the current state of the two high school buildings. Other topics include “Educational Goals” and “Process and Timeline.” The

“Referendum” section contains information on the yes-or-no, one-question vote planned for November. “Financial” has details about project funding along with a property tax estimator. Users can also sign up for email alerts to keep up to date on everything related to the high school project. The district recently hired the survey firm Social Science Research Solutions, which is conducting a random survey of residents throughout the district. District officials said the firm is about to begin sending out the next round of surveys. The number of respondents so far is not yet available.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Many helped make fish fry successful The Bellefonte Elks Lodge #1094 wishes to thank all those who participated in making the annual fish fry a success. The fish fry is a free event, but customers of the Fish Fry contribute tips, which are then donated to the Elks Home Service Program. This year, $60 was collected for Home Service. The kitchen crew of Mike Rock, Jack Miller, Arnie Barger, Eric Fromm, Lou Rodgers, Becky Rock, Eleanor Solt and Hannah Rock contributed mightily to the success of the dinner. Thank you, folks. Thanks, too, to all who brought desserts and covered dishes. That added to an already special event. And, thanks to our customers, without whom the evening is not a success. And, finally, thanks to special chef Rick Zerby, who helped all of the helpers with the organization of the entire evening.

U.S. commodities head to China By JOHN CRISP Scripps-Howard News Service

The Chinese are fond of pork. In fact, last week Shuanghui International Holdings, the owner of China’s largest meatpacker, agreed to spend $4.7 billion to purchase Virginiabased Smithfield Foods Inc., the world’s largest pork producer. This calls for context, ably described by The Los Angeles Times: As China’s economy and its middle class continue to grow and as Chinese consumers become more acquainted with Western ways of eating, meat consumption in China has grown rapidly. In 1978 all of China ate about a third as much meat as U.S. consumers; now 1.3 billion Chinese consume twice as much as Americans. Domestic producers can’t keep up with the demand. In the last five years, Chinese purchases of American pork have gone up 154 percent. As the Chinese economy grows, demand for other commodities is growing, as well, and the trend is toward purchasing not just the commodity but also the means of production itself. I wrote recently about a proposal to mine an additional 48 million tons of coal in Montana and Wyoming, transport the coal via rail to a new export terminal on the West Coast, and

then ship it overseas to China’s coalfueled power plants. American companies will make a lot of money out of this transaction. But as it turns out, China is using the same tactic with coal that it’s using with pork, buying the means of production rather than the product. According to MarketWatch, recently the Guizhou Guochuang Energy Holding Company announced that it had raised $616 million for the acquisition of the mineral rights to 30,000 acres of Tennessee ridgelines. Guizhou Guochuang is the first, but other Chinese coal companies are interested in U.S. coal, as well. The coal beneath the ridgelines in Tennessee will be extracted by mountaintop removal, an efficient method of coal mining that’s hard on the landscape. In an effort to save Tennessee’s mountains, Democratic state Rep. Gloria Johnson sponsored the Scenic Vistas Act, a law that would prohibit mountaintop removal above 2,000 feet. In March, her bill died in committee. Johnson says, “Our irreplaceable mountains will be destroyed, the economic benefits will be shipped to China, and our multibillion-dollar tourism industry will be left in shambles.” Should we be more concerned about this trend? I think so. The history of colonialism is the

story of one country living beyond its means at the expense of another. And it never turns out well for the exploited country. Mexico is a good example. According to John Hart’s “Revolutionary Mexico,” in the last two decades of the 19th century American entrepreneurs acquired more than 27 percent of Mexico’s land surface, including some of its best agricultural property. By 1910, 15,000 American colonists controlled vast tracts of land in central and northern Mexico. They hired some of the locals at low wages, ejected the rest and devoted the land to large-scale agriculture, often for export to the U.S. Around the same time, 17 of the 31 major mining companies in Mexico were owned by U.S. capitalists. Another 10 were held by the British. Again, most of the mined treasure left the country. During the latter 19th century Mexico was industrialized and modernized, but the process led to a bloody revolution in 1910, from which the country has yet to entirely recover. Of course, we’re not Mexico — yet. But the process that transfers resources from our country to China isn’t getting enough big-picture thinking. It’s driven by the profit motive and American job preservation.

The terrorists in the gray flannel robes By DALE McFEATTERS Scripps-Howard News Service

One of the great creations of the American economic system was the modern corporation, with its ability to control far-flung enterprises and bring discipline to undisciplined workforces. The corporate model has been emulated worldwide and, if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, never have we been more flattered than by al-Qaida as it tries to bring order to its unruly charges. Al-Qaida is a little backward in the field of human resources. Instead of putting an admonishing letter in the file of an errant employee, or referring the worker to counseling, or moving the employee to a windowless cubicle to do a few months of penance, the managers of al-Qaida just shoot him. But even the methods that may appeal to the most hardened member of the HR department don’t always work with a problem employee. Thanks to The Associated Press, which turned up a batch of al-Qaida correspondence, we know that the terrorist organization has its problems with terrorists who aren’t organization men, who are impervious to the company’s team-building exercises.

One such discipline problem, according to AP, was Moktar Belmoktar, who failed to file timely expense accounts and reports, and became increasingly out-of-pocket when corporate called. He managed to dodge contact with corporate headquarters for three years. Not only was he uncooperative with fellow employees, he referred to top management as “those bozos in the north,” prompting a 14-member al-Qaida Shura Council, effectively his board of directors, to denounce him for “some amount of back-biting, name-calling and sneering.” Pretty mild stuff compared to the details that leaked out of Wall Street’s boardrooms, but, after all, al-Qaida is still new at this. The trouble dates to the early 2000s, when Belmoktar was passed over for a younger man for a promotion he thought he had earned: leadership of the gracelessly named “Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat.” Belmoktar retired to the dunes to sulk, diverting himself by killing four French tourists and some Mauritanian soldiers. He still couldn’t get right with headquarters. He was accused of ransoming a kidnapped U.N. official too cheaply — for $900,000, instead of the going rate of $3 million.

Still, Belmoktar could not get right with corporate. The corner offices said that his organization, “The Masked Brigade,” had failed “to carry out spectacular operations despite the region’s vast possibilities — there are plenty of mujahedeen, funding is available, weapons are widespread and strategic targets are within reach ... Your brigade did not achieve a single spectacular operation targeting the crusader alliance.” Those harsh words must have triggered a midlife crisis in Belmoktar. He made a final split with al-Qaida, formed his own group called “Those Who Sign in Blood” (he’s still not good at names) and set off an “I’ll Show You Rampage.” He took 600 hostages in Algeria, killing 37 of them, mostly foreigners; one of his offshoots killed 24 soldiers; and his operatives blew up two foreign-owned mines. The way corporations work, we doubt that this endeared him to his former bosses. Far be it from us to advise al-Qaida leaders, but if they really want to see Belmoktar and Those Who Sign in Blood (which must make for really messy fountain pens) fail, they need to insinuate two destructive forces into his organization — golf and management consultants.

HEALTH & WELLNESS Have a safe summer amusement season From Gazette staff reports HERSHEY — When you’re hurtling toward the ground from hundreds of feet in the air — or spinning so fast your sunglasses and flip-flops fly off — the possibility of danger is a big part of what makes the experience fun. But each year, more than 4,000 American children are injured on amusement rides. Researchers at the Center for Injury Research and Policy at the Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, found that more than 70 percent of the injuries occur from May through September, which means that more than 20 injuries a day happen during these warm-weather months. “The rides like to push what people think is fun,� said Susan E. Rzucidlo, pediatric trauma and injury prevention program manager at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital. “The most important thing is just following the rules.� The head and neck were the most frequently injured body parts, followed by arms and legs. The most common types of injuries were soft tissue, strains, sprains, cuts and broken bones. “You put your arms out and a finger or hand gets caught in something,� Rzucidlo says. “Some of it is the operators and how they are trained, but some of it is the behavior of riders.� Injuries from smaller amusement rides located in malls, stores, restaurants and arcades tend to get less attention than those that occur at larger amusement parks. But Kiddie rides designed for the 4-and-younger crowd account for nearly a quarter of all ride injuries. This includes inflatable attractions such as bounces and slides. While portable carnival rides are subject to federal safety regulations, rides at fixed locations such as amusement

parks are regulated subject to state law. Here are some tips for staying safe while you have fun: ■Check height and weight restrictions for rides. ■Don’t coax children onto a ride they are unsure about or too small for. “Think about the type of ride and the age of the child,� Rzucidlo says. “It’s not that (ride operators) don’t want them to have fun — but a child may not sit still, or a harness may not be designed for their size.� ■Follow the rules and regulations for each ride. Model appropriate behavior for children.

â– Buckle up. Keep hands and feet inside the ride at all times. Never get off a moving ride. Wear appropriate clothing. â– Never leave children unattended. Observe them while they are on rides and always walk them to and from rides. â– Do not allow children to go on a mall ride if it is over a hard, unpadded surface or if it does not offer a child restraint such as a seat belt. â– Plan for what you will do if you get separated in an amusement park.

STROKE AWARENESS

LEWISTOWN — The new Safe to Sleep campaign, formerly known as the Back to Sleep, aims to educate parents, caregivers, and health care providers about ways to reduce the risk for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and other sleep-related causes of infant death. Safe to Sleep is an expansion of the original Back to Sleep campaign, which started in 1994. Back to Sleep was named for its recommendation to place healthy babies on their backs to sleep, the most effective action that parents and caregivers can take to reduce the risk of SIDS. Since that campaign started, the percentage of infants placed on their backs to sleep has increased dramatically, and the overall SIDS rates have declined by more than 50 percent. The expanded Safe to Sleep campaign builds on the success and reach of the Back to Sleep campaign. In addition to strategies for reducing the risk of SIDS, Safe to Sleep also describes actions that parents and caregivers can take to reduce the risk of other sleep-related causes of infant death, such as suffocation. Elizabeth Sharpless, RNC, perinatal nurse educator at Lewistown Hospital’s The Family Place, is a champion of the new Safe to Sleep campaign. She states, “SIDS is the leading cause of death among infants between 1 month and 1 year of age. The guidelines included in the Safe to Sleep Campaign have been shown to reduce the risk and it’s important for parents as well as caregivers to know the guidelines.� Guidelines include: ■Babies should always be placed to sleep on their backs. ■Create a separate sleep area for your baby in the same room where you sleep. Room sharing reduces the risk of SIDS and other sleep-related causes of infant death. Your baby should never sleep in an adult bed, on a couch, or on a chair.

ELIZABETH SHARPLESS, perinatal nurse educator at Lewistown Hospital, explains to new parents Ashtyn and Tyler Napikoski, of Lewistown (with their newborn son, Tanner), the recommendations for Safe Sleep. ■Babies should sleep on a firm mattress, covered by only a fitted sheet. There should be no stuffed animals, toys, or loose bedding in your baby’s crib. Crib bumpers, pillows, and blankets are also not recommended to be used in the crib. ■Do not let your baby get too hot during sleep. Dress your baby in no more than one more layer of clothing than an adult would wear to be comfortable. ■Do not smoke during pregnancy or around your baby. ■Breastfeeding your baby can reduce the risk of SIDS. “It is important for anyone, who cares for an infant, not only parents, to follow these safe infant sleep practices to reduce the risk of SIDS and other sleep-related causes of infant death. They are based on the most up-to-date information that is available and can help parents and care givers feel empowered to make the healthiest decisions for their babies,� Sharpless said� For more information, visit “Safe Sleep for Babies� to learn more about these recommendations or www.lewistownhospital.org

BASD awarded EITC grant By MARY ELDER For The Gazette

BELLEFONTE — The Bellefonte Area School District was recently awarded an Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC) grant. The grant will provide elementary schools an opportunity to offer an afterschool enrichment math program for eligible students entitled Bellefonte AfterSchool Math Achievers (BASMA). The projects will vary due to grade level. Each week the students will receive new activities to participate in. “The program started May 6 and will end June 10. It will be five weeks long, however, the grant will just be in place this school year. I am planning on resubmitting this summer and I would like for the program to be every year. There is no end line of a date as to when the program expires. The program ends when all of the money has expired.” The K-5 students from each of the four elementary buildings will meet once a week to engage in math enrichment projects. “The K-1 first grade project is ‘Apple Math.’ An example of some of the activities K/1 students will do as part of the project: determine weight and girth of apples; and count and graph number of seeds in different apples. The K/1 students will go on a field trip to Weis Markets in Bellefonte,” said K-12 Mathematics Coordinator Shari Reed. “Weis will have someone from their produce department discuss specifics regarding apples.” The projects are not strictly in a classroom environment. The students involved get to go and explore mathematics concepts outside of the classroom which will involve traveling to different locations around the Centre County area. “Two thirds of the project revolves around recycling, composting, and gardening. Students will create garden plots which will entail creating grid displays of their plots and fractional amounts of each plant, start and enhance a compost at each

elementary, and establish and enhance recycling at their buildings. Two-third (of ) students will go on a field trip to Centre County Recycling Center,” Reed said. “The four-fifths project is sports areas. This project involves creating 2D scale drawings of pools, calculating surface area of pools and volume of pools, and designing their own pool. Four-fifths (of ) students will be going to Welch Pool on the afternoon of June 3 for a field trip. Welch is one of the pools students will explore by doing scale drawing, surface area, and volume as part of the project.” There were 244 students selected from all over the Bellefonte Area School District that were asked to participate in the program. “The students have been very receptive to the program. The kids and their parents have been engaged and excited. I get to interact with parents through this. We have had phone conversations with the parents and they have been extremely positive,” Reed said. Teachers were emailed to see if they would be willing to participate in the BASMA program. “The teachers are really great. I sent out an email to our elementary, kindergarten through fifth grade, staff and said ‘Would you be willing to do this?’ and a lot of the above and beyond teachers said that they would help. There are 12 teachers that are officially the EITC teachers,” Reed said. Aside from teachers and students, the grant stemmed from a collaborative effort between Reed and grant writer and development coordinator Pam Vaiana. Many different people and organizations donated time to the BASMA program. “Weis Market has gone above and beyond. They have two people of their employees get a mini lesson together where they talked to the K-1 kids about apples and showed them products around their school,” Reed said. “The Recycling Center have us a free tour of their facility. The head of Welch Pools are having a private pool party there for the kids. We get to tour the facilities there as well.”

HIGH SCHOOL students from around the Centre Region took part in the annual Regional Bridge Competition, which was held at Lock Haven University.

Local high school students participate in competition From Gazette staff reports LOCK HAVEN — A total of 20 area high school students participated in the second annual Regional Bridge Competition, which was hosted by Lock Haven University on May 25. The objective of the competition was to provide a learning experience in science and engineering for high school students from central Pennsylvania. The competition encourages high school students to demonstrate their understanding of scientific and engineering principles and exercise their practical skills in forming mechanical structures, bridges in particular. LHU facilitated the integration of science and engineering related activities into the high school curriculum. The LHU physics program supplied materials for the construction of the bridges and organized the testing of the bridges. The competition was organized in three phases. The first phase was to identify interest and to establish contact with LHU’s physics discipline. The second phase was to organize students in teams and to design and build one bridge per team. This phase took place at the participating high

schools, Central Mountain High School under the mentoring of Frederick Hoy and Greater Altoona Career and Technology Center under the mentoring of Shane E. Stoehr. The third and final phase was to actually test the bridges. The third phase took place on the campus of LHU. “The students were able to interact and share their experiences. The competition took one day and concluded with an awards ceremony honoring the builders of the most efficient bridges,” said Dr. Tzolov, Chairman of the Bridge Competition Committee and Associate Professor in Physics at Lock Haven University. The winners of this year’s competition were Zachariah Gates and Austin Hallinan, Their bridges with mass of 21 grams was able to hold mass of 18 kilograms. The objective of the contest is to test student’s ability to design, construct and test the most efficient bridge from specifications. Model bridges are intended to be simplified versions of real-world bridges, which are designed to accept a load in any position and permit the load to travel across the entire bridge. The bridges must be designed to accept a load at three different positions.

Penns Cave hosts NAMA Spring Show By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — The Nittany Antique Machinery Association (NAMA) held its annual Spring Show on May 31 through June 2 at Penns Cave. NAMA was formed in 1975 and held its first show at Penns Cave Farm in September of that year. The fall show has grown to be one of the largest of its kind east of the Mississippi. The spring show, held annually on the first weekend after Memorial Day, is a somewhat smaller version of the fall show and features free admission for spectators. The show featured rows and rows of antique tractors and farm machinery. The featured brand of the show was John Deere. Many examples of antique John Deere tractors were on display, as well as many other brands. The show grounds

were stocked with food vendors and hundreds of booths filled the flea market on the grounds. The vendors presented just about everything imaginable for sale. Machinery, tools, furniture, housewares and collectibles were seen, and the aisles were filled with lookers and buyers. A dedicated building was filled with diecast toy tractors, trucks and farm machinery. Show events included tractor pulls and daily parades of tractors around the show grounds. Paul Dotterer’s 1923 Farquhar steam engine sat on the west end of the grounds, driving a portable sawmill with a long, flat belt and pulleys. The old steamer huffed and puffed, producing large clouds of black smoke as logs were fed into the saw blade. A wood planer, driven by the power takeoff shaft of an antique tractor was running nearby, turning the sliced logs into smooth, flat planks. There is always something new and dif-

ferent each year at this show. This year, in the Museum Building, was a collection of oil cans shown by Harold Welch, who lives near Indiana, Pa. “I got a couple when I went to an auction. The next time I went to a yard sale I noticed some other ones, and they were different,” Welch said. “It (the collection) just seemed to mushroom.” Welch’s collection includes hundreds of oil cans, grease guns, oilers, funnels and spouts used to maintain machinery of all kinds. The collection was assembled from areas all over the eastern United States, and no two are alike. “I look for the unique ones now,” said Welch. Welch also showed some antique blow torches, and he has a large collection of hand saws covering an entire wall in a 24 by 48 storage building on his property. Welch’s father was a mechanic, and he

watched him change oil and lubricate vehicles from the mid-1940s through the early 1960s, which he said adds a great personal nostalgia factor to his collection. Welch is a member of NAMA. NAMA secretary Bob Corman said the organization includes members from all around Pennsylvania and several other states. The NAMA shows are all about remembering and honoring the past. The machinery shown connects onlookers to a time and lifestyle much different from today. Much nostalgia was invoked by the sights, sounds, and even the smells of the old machines. The older folks in attendance relived some of their good old days, and the younger viewers received an education and some insight into how their ancestors lived. It was a celebration of the history of rural America. NAMA’s fall show is held on the first weekend after Labor Day in September.

Pet food nutrition and options By BRITTANY SVOBODA correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

Metro Images

DURING THE summer, be sure to give your pet plenty of water and limit their time in direct sunlight.

Summer months present numerous hazards for pets By BRITTANY SVOBODA correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — It’s the time of year many in Centre County look forward to — summer! The weather is finally cooperating, giving you the perfect opportunity to do all those outdoor things you had to put off. You faithful companion might even accompany you in those activities or enjoy being outdoors as much as you do right now. There are some consequences, however, of your pet spending too much time outside in the summer. If you follow these tips, you and your pet should get in a lot of fun-filled outdoor time this summer: ■ Heatstroke — Unlike humans, pets can’t shed some layers when it gets hot out making heat stroke a possibility during the hot summer months. Long periods of outdoor activity can cause your pet to experience heatstroke-like symptoms. To prevent this, get your pet into a shady area or inside every three to four hours. They should also have cool water at their disposal while playing or relaxing outdoors. One of the prime places where pets get heatstroke is when they are left in cars. Car get hot on even mild and cool days, so try to avoid

this if you can. And always keep several car windows down if you need to leave your pet in the car. ■ Chemicals — Dogs and cats are notorious for chewing and clawing their way into things. But those pesticide, fertilizer and insecticide containers you bring out in the summertime to help your lawn and plants grow better can hurt your pet. Make sure containers are kept out of pet’s reach and follow directions when applying them to your lawn and plants. This should ensure your pet isn’t poisoned while playing around in the yard. ■ Pests — If you live in a particularly wooded area, you’re probably used to finding ways to protect yourself from bugs and ticks. You should watch out for bugs and insects that affect your pet too. Typical petprone pests include ticks, fleas and mosquitoes. Most anti-pest ointments and medicines you already use on your pet will protect them while outdoors in the summer too, but check with your veterinarian. If your pet is exhibiting any of the following signs, contact your veterinarian or local pet emergency center immediately: vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, breathing problems, swelling and open or bleeding wounds.

STATE COLLEGE — We nourish our bodies with food and water for many reasons: to fuel ourselves, to relieve hunger and to satisfy cravings. If a person eats a nutrient-rich diet, they can live a long and healthy life. The same approach should be taken when thinking about your pet’s health, too. Owners should select food that will fuel their pet and keep them healthy. Like humans, if animals are overweight and sedentary they are at a high risk of developing diseases and cancers. Take similar steps with your pet’s diet and the amount of exercise they get to keep them going strong. Checking food labels of what you buy your dog should be a regular thing, just like how we should check food labels of things we eat. That way you know exactly what your pet is eating, what the serving size is for that particular brand of food (each one is different) and how many calories there are per serving. When it comes to actually choosing what to feed your pet, there are three options: dry food, wet food and home-cooked food. The most common pet food option is of the dry variety. Dry pet food has the longest shelf life, requires little work to give to your pet and is easier to digest than other types of food. However, dry pet food usually has the most calories per serving than wet and home-cooked food and contains wheat and corn, which is hard for animals to digest. Wet pet food is becoming more popular among pet owners even though it doesn’t last as long as dry dog food and costs much

more. It is less processed and contains fewer preservatives than dry dog food. Feeding your pet wet food can help if they aren’t getting the proper nutrients from dry food or have chewing or jaw problems. There has been much taboo about feeding your pet table food or scraps left over from your meals, but cooking food for your pet is actually a good way to make sure you know what their eating, similar to you cooking for yourself. While you shouldn’t give your pet leftovers of what you eat every day, cooking for them isn’t difficult if you know what your pet’s nutritional needs are. Talk with your veterinarian if this is a road you might pursue with your pet. If you’re thinking about making changes to your pet’s normal diet or exercise routine, always check with your veterinarian first. Any harsh changes could be an unwelcome surprise to their system, so new routines may need to be introduced gradually.

Submitted photo Jenny, a boxer/ridgeback mix, is quite a smart young lady. She has completed lots of training, learning numerous commands and how to walk very nicely on her leash. A home with dog-savvy adults, but no other pets or children would be best for Jenny since she tends to become overprotective of her family. Jenny’s Pet Partner is working with her to overcome those tendencies; and once adopted, Jenny and her new family will be treated to free training.

Rolling Along P-O takes care of business in first round of PIAA playoffs By TODD IRWIN Special to The Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — Carly Gonder hit from the leadoff spot all of last season and the start of this season, but she was dropped down to seventh because of her offensive struggles. She, however, has been starting to heat up at the plate lately, and, after a 2-for-3 performance in the District 6 championship, Philipsburg-Osceola coach Jim Gonder moved her into the leadoff spot for Monday night’s PIAA Class AA state first-round playoff game against Chartiers-Houston. Coach Gonder’s decision paid off as his neice had a huge night, doubling off the right-center field wall in her first two at-bats, going 3-for-4 with two RBIs and catching Kate Burge’s 10-strikeout three-hitter in a 4-1 win over the Buccaneers before a large P-O crowd at Beard Field at Nittany Lion Softball Park. “That’s her home,” Burge said of her battery mate. “Just seeing her go back and do what she did today was awesome for her. It’s where she belongs. She feels so much more comfortable leading the team off and being the team leader. ” “I see why they moved her up now,” Chartiers-Houston coach Tricia Alderson told laughing reporters. “We pitched her drop balls, screwballs, changeups, whatever it was, she was just driving it. She’s a great player.” The Lady Mounties (22-1) were to play another District 7 team, runner-up Deer Lakes on Thursday. Deer Lakes defeated Fairview, 3-0, in its first-round game. Chartiers-Houston finished with a 19-2 record. P-O lost in the first round of states, 5-3 in eight innings, to eventual state champion Neshannock last year, so there was a little more incentive after win-

ning a fourth straight District 6 title. “I think it was a big win for us from that perspective,” Jim Gonder said. “There were some skeletons hanging in the closet from last year.” Jim Gonder is usually not one to change his lineup in the playoffs, so moving Carly Gonder to the leadoff and dropping Haley Frank to the second spot was uncharacteristic of the veteran coach. “The coaches talked after the district final game, and I was contemplating what to do,” Coach Gonder said. “I said this is the lineup I’d like to go with, and they were all like ‘Yeah, that makes sense.’” “I’ve been hungry for it all season,” Carly Gonder said. “He was just thinking about it the other day, and then yesterday he made the changes in the lineup. And the girls were all supportive. I was just happy I was hitting to opposite field. I’ve been a very strong pull hitter and not a very strong opposite field hitter, and having two doubles off the right field wall makes me realize I have to be watched all over.” The game started 25 minutes late because of the three earlier games, but Burge and Gonder were on right from the start. Burge struck out five of the first nine batters, and when Chartiers put runners on first and second in the fourth on an error and its first hit, she struck out No. 5 hitter Samantha Elliott. Burge was coming off the title game performance in which she wasn’t at her best, but she needed only 75 pitches, 48 for strikes, to get the win this time. “She threw well,” Carly Gonder said. “She put the ball where she needed to put it. I think they were chasing pitches. I don’t think they were seeing her very well.”

TIM WEIGHT/For The Gazette

PHILIPSBURG-OSCEOLA’S Carly Gonder slides safely under the tag of Chartiers Houston’s Casey Craig during Monday night’s PIAA playoff game at Beard Field. The Lady Mounties advanced in the postseason with a 4-1 win. “I just think I was really working on my movement,” Burge said. “I felt I was really spinning the ball hard. I knew at any moment it could be a one-run game and we could be losing. So every pitch, I had to take a deep breath and know exactly what I had to do.” The Lady Mounties loaded the bases in the first inning on Gonder’s double, Frank’s bunt single and a fielder’s choice off of a Mackenzie Burge bunt. But C-H pitcher Toni Spossey, who had a tantalizingly slow changeup, wiggled off the hook by inducing two ground balls to third baseman Sabrina Stankus and one more back to her. P-O left the bases loaded in

the first and fifth, and it stranded 10 in the game. Stankus was a major reason as she gobbled up eight ground balls from the hot corner. “Oh my gosh, I think she robbed us about three times,” Coach Gonder said. “She made some nice plays.” But when Carly Gonder doubled again in the third, Frank moved her to third with a sacrifice bunt, and she scored on another fielder’s choice off the bat of Mackenzie Burge. In the fourth inning, P-O loaded the bases again, but this time Gonder delivered a single to center field to chase Haylee Hayward and Megan Bainey home to make the score 3-0.

The Buccaneers scored an unearned run in the fifth to cut into P-O’s lead, but the Lady Mounties got it back in the sixth with an unearned run of their own. Mackenzie Burge, who reached on a Spossey error, scored on a two-out Abby Showers single up the middle. When Kate Burge struck out Casey Craig for the final out, P-O could start thinking about Thursday’s game — a day defore the pitcher and catcher, right fielder Aisha Goss and second baseman Makayla Myers graduate. “We have to keep our emotions in check,” Burge said, “and he we have to stay confident and stay in the game. We can’t be thinking about other stuff.”

Bellefonte’s season ends in 2-0 loss to Hollidaysburg By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — In the game of softball, one bad inning can be a team’s undoing. The Bellefonte Lady Red Raiders found that out the hard way in the District 6 Class AAA title game, which was played on May 29 at Penn State’s Beard Field. Hollidaysburg — the No. 4 seed — sent eight batters to the plate in the third inning and scored twice. Those runs turned out to be enough, in a 2-0 win over the Lady Raiders, the No. 3 seed. The RBI singles in the frame were back-to-back infield singles. It was a tough loss for Bellefonte coach Gregg Kohlhepp to swallow. “They put the ball in play and we were a step slower, maybe one play away from getting out of that and making it much easier on ourselves,” he said. “It’s tough. There were some bang-bang plays and the calls went their way. But that’s why you play the game. I’m proud of the way our girls hung in there today.” Hollidaysburg first-year coach Dennis Carter was happy to see his squad make the two third-inning runs stand up. “The talent has always been there, and we’ve had great senior leadership,” he said. “We’re trying to turn the corner and develop consistency as a program, and it has taken a lot of hard work by the players to put everything together.” Both teams went 1-2-3 in the first inning. Bellefonte got its first two runners on in the bottom of the second. Sarah Menna singled to right and Carly Chambers sin-

gled up the middle. However, Hollidaysburg pitcher Alyssa Pheasant got Erin Pugh and Alicia Allen to pop out before Stevi Confer grounded out to end the threat. Hollidaysburg broke through in the third. With one out, Kathleen Sheehan singled to left. After Pheasant got on base on an infield single, Elizabeth Carter moved the runners up with a ground out. Then came the back-to-back infield hits from Krista Shea and Hannah Mercer, respectively. Just like that, it was 2-0. Hollidaysburg had all it needed. “You gotta take what you’re given and what falls. We took advantage of it,” Carter said. “It was a lot like the first time we played … it was one of those game where you might just need a little bit. Against a team like that, they’re not going to give you a whole lot.” Bellefonte had a chance to rally in the bottom of the sixth. Vanessa Cooper ripped a double to right field, but she was gunned down at third trying to stretch it into a triple. Kohlhepp said he never hesitated waving Cooper to third. “It was in right-center and she has better speed than people give her credit for. The way the cut arrangement was, I was OK with it. When the ball missed the cut and got to Hannah Mercer, I thought we were in a lot of trouble at that point. It was a good play for them. They made a good play,” he said. The game was not without controversy. In the first inning, Cooper collided with Hollidaysburg first baseman Sheehan as

A Real Thriller

State College rallies past Central Mountain for win in district title game By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

ALTOONA — The State College Little Lions hit just three balls hard against talented Central Mountain pitcher Von Walker last Wednesday in the District 6 Class AAAA championship game and two of them were by Jason Costa. Costa’s first one gave them an early lead, and the second one gave them the championship. Hitting in a tie game with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning, Costa roped a line-drive double into the left field corner that scored speedy Darian Herncane all the way from first base, and State College walked off with an exciting 3-2 victory over the Wildcats and the district trophy. It was the Little Lions 16th victory of the season, against six losses, and it also qualified them for the PIAA State Tournament for the first time since 2010. Costa’s hits, along with a triple by Dan Fry in the fourth inning that sparked a tworun rally, were the only three hard-hit by SC all afternoon, but they ultimately proved to be enough. Solid defense and a gritty, two-run, sixhit performance by winning SC pitcher Nick Raquet kept the Wildcat offense in check long enough for Costa to perform his heroics. “In previous at bats, he (Walker) threw me mostly curve balls,� Costa said about his final at bat. “I knew that he didn’t want to get behind me, and I also knew we had Darian (Herncane) on first base and if I hit something in the gap, he was going to score. So all odds were that it was going to be a fastball, and it was. I just turned on it. It felt beautiful off the bat. “I thought it was gone. I started getting my trot on, but I knew even if it didn’t go over, Darien was going to score.� Through the first three-plus innings of

the game it looked like no one was going to score. Finally, Fry led off the bottom of the fourth inning with a line-drive triple that hit just inside the right-field line and rolled to the wall. Herncane followed with a walk, stole second, and scored when Costa (who else?) lined a two-run single to center field that gave SC a 2-0 lead. Raquet, now with a two-run lead, followed in the top of the fifth with his only two big mistakes in the game — he walked lead-off hitters Ryan Yost and Dylan Kerstetter and both eventually scored to tie the game. Yost scored on a RBI groundout by Walker, and Kerstetter scored on a throwing error after Walker’s ground out. “He (Raquet) admitted it himself that he lost a little focus,� State College coach Bill Tussey said. “He got a little cocky because we had scored two in the bottom of the inning. Unfortunately, he walked the two batters before he got the focus back.� Neither team threatened again until State College was given a golden opportunity to win the game in the bottom of the seventh. Calvin Sichler opened the inning with a looping fly ball to shallow right field that just eluded a diving Ethan McGill and rolled into the corner. Sichler never stopped running and ended up on third base as the potential winning run with none out. Walker, however, then struck out Ken Craig and Tanner Witter and got Caleb Walls to fly out to right to end the inning and put the game into extra innings. “To be honest, we were going to squeeze it,� Tussey said, “but Tanner (Witter) called time and came out to talk to me. He wasn’t confident that he was going to execute it and then I wasn’t confident. That’s the way it went. That’s baseball.� Raquet went out for his eighth inning of work and set down CM with just a one-out walk, setting up SC’s eighth. Nick Smith and Fry, however, both grounded out to begin the inning, bringing

BASEBALL: ROUND TWO State College (17-6) vs. Lower Dauphin (20-5) June 6 at Greene Township Park, noon State College took care of the No. 3 seed from District 3, J.P. McCaskey, on Monday, and now it is time for the Little Lions to take on the champion, Lower Dauphin. The Falcons are no stranger to playoff baseball, and in fact they have had only three sub-.500 seasons since 1977. In the last five seasons alone, Lower Dauphin has recorded 91 wins, but in that time it has not won a AAAA, District 3 championship. The Falcons took care of that streak with a 1-0 win over Exeter Township last Thursday at Soverign Bank Stadium, and then on Monday they beat Council Rock North — and Pitt-bound pitcher Matt Renck — 9-3 to advance in the second round against the Little Lions. The Falcons are led by two top-notch pitchers in Blair Lewis and Marshal Kiessling. They also depend heavily on their defense, led by Center fielder Jeff Light, shortstop Kaylor Kulina, and catcher Deon Stafford. Offensively, LD relies on Kiessling (.365), Kulina (.368), and Stafford (.457) to lead the way, but they are not as potent on offense as recent Falcon teams have been. But then, with a solid defense and Kiessling and Lewis both giving up less than three runs per game, maybe they don’t need much. State College, on the other hand, has been averaging over seven runs in its three

Reliable Nick Raquet will do the pitching for SC in a game that looks to be extremely close and likely to depend on who makes the fewest mistakes.

Deer Lakes is led by pitcher Tiffany Edwards, who is 19-1. P-O will need another big game from senior pitcher Kate Burge. Offensively, look for fireworks from Abby Showers, Carly Gonder, Aisha Goss and Hailey Frank. Thursday’s game is scheduled to begin at 2.

P-O captures district title with thrilling victory By JOHN DIXON sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — No matter the outcome of the District 6 Class AA Softball Championship held last week at Penn State’s Beard Field at Nittany Lion Softball Park, both teams advanced to the next round of the PIAA playoffs. Despite the fact that both teams advanced, there was still the matter of playing for pride and the tag that goes with being called district champions. The Lady Mounties were gunning for their fourth consecutive district title, a feat P-O had accomplished from 1993-1996. They have a total of 11 district titles during Jim Gonder’s 31-year tenure as head coach. “That’s something special, and it’s only ever happened once before,” said Gonder. “When you can go home and look at four district championship medals in your room, it’s a pretty nice feeling. “We had won as easily as you can in a district final (the last three years), but this was a great game. Our hitters were disciplined and I thought we could come back.” Top-seeded P-O (21-1) knew all about No. 10 seed Ligonier Valley (16-4) having faced the Lady Rams in the district title game two years ago. “I thought about it today and at least we were meeting at the end (of the district tournament),” Ligonier Valley coach Mark Zimmerman said. “Those were two good teams when we met down there in Philipsburg a few years ago. We had a good team and they had a good team. It was a lot of fun ... just like this one. You want to play the best (when you get to this point). “We fell behind a few times ... but, all in all, they’re a tough hitting team and we knew that, too. I knew it wasn’t over, and I knew they weren’t going to mail it in (because) they’ve won too many ballgames to do that.” The Lady Mounties broke on top 2-0 in the first inning thanks to a walk to Haley Frank and a RBI triple to deep left-center by first baseman Mackenzie Burke and shortstop Abby Showers’ base knock to center field. The Lady Rams’ Brittany Lynch had a one-out single down the left field line but was stranded while P-O’s Carly Gonder led off with a base hit to left in the bottom of the frame but three ground balls produced nothing. That was a prelude as to what would follow as Ligonier Valley stunned Philipsburg-Osceola with a five-run third inning. P-O’s Gonder made the fatal mistake in pitching to leadoff hitter Grimm, who promptly drilled a solo home run deep over the right-center field estimated by many in the press box of traveling at least 250 feet.

TIM WEIGHT/For The Gazette

THE LADY MOUNTIES celebrate after capturing the District 6 Class AA title with an 8-7 win over Ligonier Valley on May 29 at Beard Field. Grimm, a sure-to-be four-time all-state performer in softball when the list is announced has also starred in soccer and basketball for the Lady Rams and was also the kicker for the football team. She has accepted a full scholarship to play softball at Kent State and may walk on to the basketball team. That blast woke up the Lady Rams as they took advantage of base hits from Jackie Berry, Courtney Frappier and Rachel Wallace plus a pair of P-O errors to take a 5-2 lead. “That was my fault,” Gonder said of Grimm’s home run. “We should have just walked her four times. I actually think the home run triggered the other runs.” “We knew that we had to get back and that a good team does,” Kate Burge said. “We fly like eagles, and that’s our motto. We had to pick each other up. We knew we would get it, but we didn’t know when. We kept fighting until we got (the lead). “We know if someone makes a mistake that we’re going to rebound from it. Coach Gonder told us to rebound from it, and I think we did a good job of that.” Showers responded in the bottom of the inning with an RBI triple off of pitcher Hailey Umbaugh following Mackenzie Burke’s base rap to left-center for a 5-3 score. Meanwhile Kate Burge settled down and retired 12 straight before the lady Rams would make it once again interesting. With Burge settling the Lady Rams, P-O erupted for a four-run fifth inning to take a 7-5 lead highlighted by Showers’ game-tying, two-run triple. Haley Hayward had a

sacrifice fly and Megan Bainey an RBI single for the other runs. The Lady Mounties added a much-needed insurance run in the bottom of the sixth as Frank drilled a double down the left field line, Kate Burge’s sacrifice bunt got the runner to third where Frank scored the eventual winning run on Mackenzie Burge’s base hit to left. Up a seemingly safe 8-5 entering the seventh, the Lady Rams didn’t go down easily. Coach Gonder had learned his lesson with Grimm and walked her intentionally for the second time and Jackie Berry also walked. With one out Frappier’s fly ball to deep right-center was dropped scoring two runs for an 8-7 game. Fortunately for the Lady Mounties, first sacker Mackenzie Burge bailed out her sister with a stop to end the game. Besides the home run, Grimm added a double to lead the Lady Rams offense that was limited to six hits by Kate Burge. Meanwhile the Lady Mounties belted 12 hits including a triple and a pair of singles by Mackenzie Burke, a pair of triples and a single by Abby Showers. Carly Gonder added a double and single and Megan Bainey rapped a pair of singles. “It feels amazing,” Showers said of the four-peat. “This is the best feeling ever when coach Gonder says ‘Good job’ when he puts that medal around your neck.” “I felt pretty confident at the plate,” added Showers of her productive game. “I just went up there and everybody was like ‘Hey, be patient. She’s a wild pitcher.’ I just kind of waited for the right pitch, and I whacked it. When I hit those two triples, I was thinking ‘I need to pick my team up and give them a confidence booster.’ It makes me more motivated to be like (Grimm).” “We knew we were going to rebound from it, (5-2 deficit),” Kate Burge said. “That’s what Coach Gonder told us to do, just rebound from it, and I think we did a good job of rebounding.”

State College wins in first round of playoffs By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

HOLLIDAYSBURG — After a brief hiatus in the District 6 championship game, the State College Little Lion hitters brought their claws back out against J.P. McCaskey on Monday afternoon. Playing in the first round of the PIAA state tournament, State College wasted little time against the Red Tornado. The Little Lions scored eight runs in the first three innings, slammed 14 hits, including six doubles, and bounded into the second round of the tournament with a 9-3 victory. Dan Fry led the SC attack with three hits and two RBIs while Caleb Walls, Nick Smith, Darian Herncane, and Ryan Karstetter each had two hits apiece. Smith had two doubles and two RBIs, and Herncane also had two doubles and knocked in a run. In all, eight of the nine SC starters had at least one hit. On the mound, Ben Finlan ran into some early trouble, righted himself, and ended up retiring 12 of the final 15 batters

he faced. He gave up three runs, none earned, four hits, walked two, and struck out six. Now, State College finds itself in the Elite Eight of AAAA baseball and will square off with District 3 Champion Lower Dauphin today with a trip to the state semi-finals on the line. “Today was a team day, offensively,” State College coach Bill Tussey said. “Everyone up and down the lineup contributed something at some point. Those, to be honest, are a coach’s wish. Just relax and let your defense and pitching take over when you’re scoring runs like that.” The run scoring for State College began in the first inning. With one out, Smith doubled and moved to third base after a single by Fry. Beginning the game aggressively, State College attempted a double steal, but a perfect throw by McCaskey shortstop Miguel Torres nailed Smith at home and kept the game scoreless. Herncane, however, followed with a two-out double that scored Fry and put SC ahead 1-0.

“The third base runner is supposed to read that play,” Tussey said about the double steal, “but he got a little overanxious, early game jitters, but we did want to be aggressive.” The State College offense got rolling in earnest in the second inning. Karstetter singled to open the inning and that was followed by an error and a walk to Tanner Witter that loaded the bases. Walls then singled to score Karstetter, and Smith doubled to score Ken Craig and Witter and put SC ahead 4-0. Fry made it 5-0 with another single before McCaskey starter got the final two outs to end the inning. The Red Tornado scored three unearned runs in the top of the third inning on two errors, a hit batter, a two-RBI single by Aaron Taylor, and a sacrifice fly by Miguel Reyna that made the game much tighter at 5-3. Finlan got out of further trouble by striking out Steve Wilson to end that inning and from there did not allow another runner past second base. “We know that when Bennie (Finlan) is

on, that is the kind of game he pitches,” Tussey said. “He is not going to overpower you, but he can spot his fastball and he throws his curveball for strikes, and that is big in high school baseball. He kept them off balance quite a bit, and he pitched a heck of a ball game.” State College matched the three put up by McCaskey with three of its own in the bottom of the inning. An RBI single by Witter, a sacrifice fly by Walls, and an RBI single by Fry accounted for the runs and, with the way Finlan began to throw, essentially put the game on ice for State College. The Little Lions did add another run in the sixth on an RBI double by Jason Costa, and Finlan put down the Red Tornado in order in the seventh to put the win away. “Honestly, that last game, the district championship game was our main goal,” Fry said, “because that 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.”

County Gazette. Rumblings from inside Email him at psu timm@gmail.com. the program are indicat-

ing that head coach Bill O’Brien has something different in mind. According to a source, Breneman was told by O’Brien following spring camp that there is no way he is sitting on the sideline in 2013. Despite the emergence of redshirt freshman Brent Wilkerson and the return of standout sophomores Kyle Carter and Jesse James, O’Brien can’t wait to get his prized recruit on the field. Breneman possesses top notch size (6-5, 245 pounds) and speed with terrific hands. In high school, he lined up all over the field, creating mismatches against the defense. During his sophomore and junior years, he totaled 131 catches for almost 2,000 yards and 20 touchdowns, setting the school record for receptions before breaking it the next year.

With the plethora of tight ends at his disposal and the wide receiving corps full of potential backing up Allen Robinson, it should be interesting to see how O’Brien will shuffle his playmakers around on offense. Most likely he will use a lot of two tight end sets early in the year as the Nittany Lions break in a new quarterback. The best security blanket for an inexperienced QB is a stable of enormous tight ends, and Penn State has just that. On signing day back in February, fans looked at the incoming class with dreams of future connections between phenom quarterback Christian Hackenberg and Adam Breneman. Now, just a few months later with the starting QB slot up for grabs, it appears those two could be hooking up much sooner than once expected.

Remembering Secretariat’s amazing run into greatness “Secretariat is widening now ... he is moving like a tremendous machine!” With these words, race caller Chick Anderson announced to the world that a huge red colt would join the ranks of history’s greatest athletes. In 1973, 40 years ago this week, Secretariat won the Belmont Stakes, earning him the first Triple Crown in 25 years. Anderson, stunned, couldn’t believe what he saw on the track that day. The colt finished the 1½ mile race in a stunning 2:24 flat, a record that stands to this day. He crossed the finish line an unheard-of 31 lengths ahead of the second-place finisher. Anne Walker is a Weeks earlier, Big Red, correspondent for as his connections called The Centre County Gazette. Email her him, won the Kentucky at correspondent@ Derby, coming from becentrecounty hind to take the race in 1:59 gazette.com. 2/5, another unbroken record. In that race, he ran each quarter faster than the previous. In other words, instead of slowing down the way runners normally do, he picked up speed. He ran the final quarter mile in 23 seconds — the fastest quarter ever. Big Red went on to win the Preakness Stakes, the second jewel in the crown. But a flaw in the timing mechanism meant that no one knew his final time for certain. Some said he did the 1 3/16 mile in 1:53, some said 1:54 2/5. Secretariat’s owner Penny Tweedy put the controversy away last year when she went to court with the Maryland Racing Commission to determine his final time: 1:53. Another record. Tweedy owned the colt from birth. The story goes that she lost a coin toss and ended up with the second foal born to a broodmare named Somethingroyal. Her colt didn’t have to overcome any adversity — no health problems or injuries. No one starved or abused him. He had great breeding,

great handling and great training. All he had to do was break cleanly, stay out of trouble and cross the finish line before anyone else. And he did that. Seventeen times out of 21 starts. Railbirds love numbers. They love minutes, seconds, quarter-miles, furlongs, heads, noses, lengths, starting positions and finishing positions. And Secretariat’s numbers add up to greatness. Many say we’ll never see that kind of greatness on the track again. Many say we’ll never see another Triple Crown winner. Certainly, it seems breeders and owners take more of an interest in turning out precocious, speedy horses than they do in running strong animals that can go the distance. Since Big Red’s Belmont romp, two more colts won all three races. Seattle Slew joined racing royalty in 1977 and Affirmed earned the crown the following year. Since then, racing has seen a deficit that no human power can reduce. Remarkable equines have come close: In 2004, Smarty Jones won the Derby by nearly 3 lengths, then the Preakness by 11. Smarty came from Philadelphia, a town desperately seeking athletic redemption. Philadelphians flocked to New York, expecting a coronation. But the racing gods, in their typical fickle fashion, refused to smile on the handsome colt. Secretariat’s great-great grandson got caught in the final furlong. Other near-misses include Sunday Silence, Funny Cide, Big Brown and Spectacular Bid. All in all, 20 horses since Secretariat have won two legs of the crown. They just don’t make ’em like they used to. Some consider the Triple Crown among the toughest achievements in all professional sports. It takes guts, brains, speed and stamina. Secretariat represented all of these things. But he meant even more to a nation embroiled in scandal and recovering from war. He became a national hero, the big red colt wearing the blue-and-white checkered blinkers. He galloped into the American psyche, where he can bask in the memory of that June day 40 years ago when he ran all alone out in front.

Chambers shuffles basketball staff By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Pat Chambers announced this week the promotion of third-year assistant coaches Brian Daly and Keith Urgo to associate head coach positions following the departure of former associate head coach Eugene Burroughs. “Brian and Keith are tireless workers, tremendously loyal and passionate about our program and Penn State University,” Chambers said. Urgo has ties to the Washington, D.C., are and was on Villanova’s staff during Chambers; time there. Daly has a much needed ties to the Philadelphia area as a native of the region and was an assistant under Chambers at Boston University.

Chambers will likely look to higher a lower level assistant to fill the still vacant position left behind by Burroughs and promotions of Daly and Urgo. No timetable is known although Penn State is slated for a European trip this August and will offer skill and team camp opportunities through much of June. The University of Miami also confirm Tuesday morning that Penn State Director of Player Development Adam Fisher will now be taking over the role as the Hurricanes’ Director of Basketball Ops. Fisher was promoted to Director of Player Development in 2012, prior to having served as video coordinator in his first season in 2011.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Penn State Centre Stage presents ‘Good People’ By ALLISON GIANNOTTI correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Margie is funny, forgiving and a survivor. Mike is proud, torn and a fighter. Stevie is cautious, emotional and brave. “Good People” is a story about radically different characters navigating their social class in search of success. Penn State Centre Stage will begin its 2013-14 theatre season on June 12 with “Good People,” a play written by Pulitzer Prize winner David Lindsay-Abaire, and directed by theatre veteran Robert W. Schneider. Shown at the Penn State Downtown Theatre Center and performed by award-winning actors, the play intertwines moments of dark drama with humorous conversations to explore life in different social classes and consider how fate determines people’s paths. “Good People,” set in South Boston’s lower end, opens when Stevie fires quick-witted Margie Walsh from her low paying position as a dollar store cashier. Struggling to keep her head above poverty, Margie’s crafty friends Jean and Dottie, persuade

her to approach Mike, a former “Southie” who avoided poverty by becoming a doctor. Their interaction during Margie’s plea for a job becomes the heart of the play, and explores questions of class, responsibility, fate and gender in relation to social mobility.

If you go What: “Good People” Where: Downtown Theatre Center When: June 12-22, various times Tickets: (814) 863-0255 or visit theatre.psu.edu In Act II, Margie shows up at Mike’s house in Chestnut Hill, a wealthy village outside Boston. Mike’s wife Kate, curious about her husband’s roots, invites Margie to stay and reminisce about Mike’s Southie past. In the end, stories, secrets and lies about his animated past challenge the truth of the present reality in all of their lives. “Good People” stars Tony nominee Johanna Day as Margie,

Tony nominee Amelia Campbell as Jean, R. Ward Duffy as Mike, Jane Ridley as Dottie, Joy Hooper as Kate and Penn State junior Kevin Toniazzo-Naughton as Stevie. Each seasoned performer wrestles with the play’s complex themes and characters to create a beautiful, thought-provoking play about life. “The play is about class, struggle and how we get places in our lives — is it luck or is it choice?” Day said. “As Rob said, it’s a story about survival. (The characters) are all good people, but they have to do what they have to do in order to live to the next day,” ToniazzoNaughton said. “Good People” will entertain audiences at the theatre, and give them issues to consider after leaving the auditorium. “It’s with good plays, and good art, that gives you good questions. I know (the audience) will have a fun night at the theatre — they’ll laugh a lot, and then be given some stuff to think about and talk about,” Duffy said. “This play starts conversations.” “Good People” will preview at

Playhouse at McConnellstown to stage ‘Dearly Departed’ From Gazette staff reports MCCONNELLSTOWN — Funerals should be no laughing matter, and it can be hard sending a loved one to his final resting place. Yet “Dearly Departed,” a comedy by David Bottrell and Jessie Jones, explores firsthand the trials and tribulations of making those difficult arrangements and dealing with the dysfunctional and colorful family members who seem to just come out of the woodwork to pay their last respects.

Ritti’s works on display at Schlow From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — “Collage Comment” by Alyce Ritti will be on display through June 28 at Schlow Centre Region Library’s Betsy Rodgers Allen Gallery. Inventive and intriguing, Ritti’s mixedmedia collages are full of surprises. As she cuts, pastes and layers with diverse materials, she creates theatrical images that are sometimes satirical, sometimes sympathetic. Each is a single act, meant to start a conversation with the viewer. A lifelong artist, her girlhood joy in making art was interrupted by a variety of things, including earning a PhD from Co-

lumbia University and a marriage of 56 years (so far) and a family of four nowgrown children. Upon moving to the ridge-side of Halfmoon Township in 1981, she was inspired

Penn State to host session on new business degree From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State is launching an accelerated bachelor of science degree in business this fall that can be completed in as little as 20 months at Penn State locations statewide, based on credits already earned. An information session about this new degree will be held at 6 p.m. on June 25, and can be accessed at Penn State Continuing Education offices in State College, Lewistown and Williamsport.

“The information session will provide a forum for adults who are interested in pursuing this degree to ask questions and receive feedback from the business faculty,” said JeanMarie Jacob, program manager for the Penn State Video Learning Network. The VLN delivers the bachelor of science degree in business in classrooms equipped with the latest real-time interactive video conferencing technology. The bachelor of science degree in business is designed for adults who have an as-

Your three-step plan for healthy communication Solutions to help you grow A recent Kaiser survey asked Americans how they thought the Affordable Care Act would impact them. Fifty-seven percent said they didn’t know enough about the law to say. In an eHealthinsurance poll of small businesses with fewer than 50 employees, 56 percent believe they are required to provide insurance for employees under the Affordable Care Act beginning in January of 2014. Yet these businesses are exempt from the new healthcare program. Reaching and influencing individuals across the country is certainly a challenge. David M. On the other hand, Mastovich is the story is so big that president of an array of mediums MASSolutions Inc. exist to tell it and we are For more ready to talk about it. information, go to massolutions.biz. Small businesses are one of the key target markets of the Affordable Care Act’s communication efforts. Yet it appears many small business owners do not under-

stand how the act impacts their companies. This column isn’t really about the Affordable Care Act. It’s about the importance of strategic messaging and planning for healthy communication. Whether you need to reach millions, thousands, hundreds or just your own family members, you can improve your communication with this three-step plan: ■ Plan, plan and then plan. Spend as much time planning for the communication of the idea, event, product or service as you do in planning to create, develop or produce it. ■ Accept that how you think it should be isn’t how it really is. Just telling someone something a few times doesn’t work. Using only a couple of mediums — “We have it on our website and we tweeted it” or “We sent a press release and some emails plus bought some TV ads” — doesn’t cut it. Repeat your message in multiple mediums. ■ Pick your favorite cliche and live by it. Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS). Less is More. Make It About Them. Unfortunately, people often don’t adhere to these principles. Some say they do but then can’t help themselves. Clarity. Brevity. Focus on your audience and what they can takeaway, not on your jargon or corporate speak. Follow your three step plan for healthy communication. Be disciplined. Start now.

President of Inotek joins Kish Bank board

UNIVERSITY PARK — Paul Poissant, director of MBA Employer Relations for the Penn State Smeal College of Business, has been elected to the MBA Career Services Council Board of Directors, where he will serve a three-year term. The MBA CSC aims to support and develop individuals working in the MBA career management and employment professions. The organization also helps to create standards of reporting for universities so that students can accurately assess and compare outcomes like rates of employment. “Getting an MBA from an institution is a big commitment, and the MBA CSC is committed to setting standards that facilitate students making the most informed decisions possible,” said Poissant. Poissant joins the board alongside MBA career services professionals from the University of Southern California’s Marshall

School of Business, Emory University’s Goizueta Business School and the University of Michigan’s Stephen M. Ross School of Business. The board will also welcome recruitment professionals from companies including American Airlines, Dell and KPMG LLP. “I’ll be working closely with other members of the board as well as forging relationships with career services professionals and recruiters all over the world,” said Poissant. “One of the MBA CSC’s main initiatives currently is to gain more employer and global business school involvement.” Career Services and Employer Relations is a critical component of the Penn State Smeal MBA Program student experience. The personal career strategy process at Smeal involves one-on-one counseling with career services professionals and begins the summer before admitted students begin their first year of the program. Each student is also assigned an alumni mentor based on career interests and aspirations.
