Students rally around cheerleader By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The Penn State community has come together once again. This time, it’s to help one of their own. On Oct. 18, students gathered in the south gym of Rec Hall to pray for Penn State cheerleader Paige Raque, who is hospitalized after falling out of an apartment building window. Raque, 19, plunged 39 feet from a fifth-floor Calder Com-

mons window on Oct. 13. She fell through a screen and out of the window of her apartment, landing on the pavement below. She was flown by medical helicopter to the trauma center at Altoona Regional Health Center. She has been since been moved to the intensive care unit, according to a family spokesman, and she remains in a coma with severe brain and pelvic injuries. Penn State senior Lindsey Graybill, a member of the women’s cross country and track

and field teams, helped organize the movement. “We wanted to do something for Paige and her family so we put together a prayer vigil,” Graybill explained. “It really came together in less than 24 hours. I had a hand in it, but there were a lot of students who helped organize it. It was a group effort.” Graybill said that students used Facebook and Twitter to spread the word about the vigil. According to Graybill, the turnout was overwhelming.

“Because of how quickly we put it together, we really expected around 30 to 50 people. We had close to 400. We were beyond thrilled, just blown away,” Graybill said. Graybill said that many of the students who showed up at the vigil are members of Penn State’s sport teams. As a member of two of these teams, Graybill said that she wasn’t surprised that so many athletes turned out to sup-

Pink Zone hosts inaugural event By MARJORIE S. MILLER mmiller@centrecountygazette.com

POTTERS MILLS — As breast cancer survivors modeling fall fashions graced the runway last Thursday night, cheers could be heard well into the night. Tucked away in Potters Mills, Seven Mountains Wine Cellars housed Pennsylvania Pink Zone’s inaugural event, The Little Black Dress Goes Pink, on Oct. 18. The rain may have been pouring down, but that didn’t keep the wall-towall guests from this wine tasting and fashion show fundraising event. The “ladies’ night out” served as a way to honor and celebrate breast cancer fighters and survivors, and raise money for aware-

Pumpkin Festival draws thousands to Arboretum By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — If the weekend crowds are any indication, Happy Valley has a new Halloween tradition. The second annual Pumpkin Festival was held at the arboretum at Penn State on Oct. 19, 20 and 21. Thousands visited the arboretum to view the jack-o’-lanterns, which were on categorized by age group. The Pumpkin Festival is the brainchild of Andrew Gapinski, director of horticulture for the arboretum. “I was raised in Wisconsin, and growing up we always had a pumpkin festival in my hometown. So when I moved to Penn State, I thought I’d bring the pumpkin festival here,” Gapinski said. “It was always always a great community event and something we looked forward to every Opinion .............................. 7 Health & Wellness ............. 8 Remember Your Loved One With A Gazette Memoriam.

year. And that’s why we’re having it here.” The event was free, and there was no charge for parking or to enter the grounds. Popcorn, apples, apple cider and hot chocolate were given away. According to Gapinski, the event was held to draw Centre County residents to the arboretum. “This is the arboretum’s first community event, open to the public. Everything is free. We gave out over 800 pumpkins last weekend and people brought them back this week carved,” Gapinski said. The pumpkins were judged on Saturday evening. Ribbons were distributed on Sunday afternoon. “We had a best of show ribbon, a best Penn State-themed pumpkin and best traditional jack-o’-lantern face pumpkin. It’s just a great way to

get people together to celebrate the fall season,” Gapinski said. Gapinski said the first-ever pumpkin festival he attended, back in Wisconsin, was his father’s idea. “It was something my dad started and it was great,” he said. The festival continues to grow. According to Gapinski, he heard nothing but positive feedback the entire weekend. “People love it,” he said. “As soon as the sun goes down, there are thousands of people out on the lawn.” The festival drew a nice crowd on Saturday night, despite competing with the broadcast of the Penn State football game at Iowa. The event was made possible by a gift from the Vargo Family of Maryland.

SHELLY GUARE and Brendan Hartman, of Philadelphia, check out the pumpkins at the second annual Pumpkin Festival on Saturday. Guare and Hartman are Penn State alumni who were visiting for the day. Pumpkin, from page 1 “They’re enthusiastic alums who just wanted to help us bring people to the arboretum,” said Pat Williams, director of development for the arboretum. “They made the gift that provided funding for all of the pumpkins, all of the refreshments. It just about covered the entire event.” According to Williams, the event is growing in popularity. “Just looking at the attendance on (Friday) night, that exceeded our expectations,” Williams said, “and it was better than the attendance over both days last year. We were pleasantly surprised with the number of people that showed up. We’re ecstatic.” Organizers said that people from outside Centre County came in to see the pumpkins. “It’s bringing in people who maybe

wouldn’t normally come in to see the gardens,” Williams said. “It’s a whole different demographic. Families with kids, that’s nice to see.” The event puts the spotlight on the arboretum, at least for a few days. “It is special. We’ve been here a few years, but I’m surprised how many people haven’t stopped in to take a look around,” Williams said. “They’ll pass it on Park Avenue, see the fountain and look over. But until they really come here and look around, they’re always surprised at how big and just how nice it is.” Williams is hopeful that people will come back to the arboretum — even when there’s no pumpkin festival. “We certainly want the community to use it,” Williams said. “It’s a nice, quiet place … stress free. I think it’s a low stress environment out here.”

Sandusky moved to Camp Hill By LAURA NICHOLS StateCollege.com

Jerry Sandusky was transferred out of the county jail to Camp Hill Prison early on Tuesday morning, a spokeswoman for the Centre County Correctional Facility said. Sandusky, 68, was ordered to return to Centre County Correctional Facility for at least 10 days after he was sentenced to 30-60 years in prison on Oct. 9. Judge John Cleland said Sandusky would then be sent to Camp Hill Prison, which is about two hours away from Centre County, where it would be determined whether he would stay there for the duration of his sentence. Cleland said he was giving Sandusky a life sentence, but Sandusky’s defense team filed an appeal of his conviction on Thursday. Sandusky was convicted on June 22 on 45 of 48 counts of child sexual abuse and maintains his innocence.

Fisher calls Sandusky ‘monster’ in book where Fisher was not present or too young to understand what was going on. Fisher said it took him too long to understand what “it� was — it being sexual abuse — but knew that the physical contact made him feel uncomfortable. Fisher writes that by the time the touching escalated, he was too scared to say anything because Sandusky was supposed to be “a good guy.� It wasn’t a ‘father figure’ that Fisher was searching for in Sandusky, either, he writes. His grandfather, whom Fisher calls ‘Pap,’ was always there for him. “I wasn’t looking for a father figure — I had one in [Pap]. So when Jerry was paying so much attention to me, I wasn’t thinking, ‘Wow, this is great. I finally have some kind of a dad paying attention to me.’ I just thought it was cool that Jerry was asking me my opinion on stuff at the camp and that that he thought I was a good athlete. “I started to feel real lucky and proud that I was Jerry’s favorite kid at camp,� Fisher writes.

By LAURA NICHOLS StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — “Silent No More: Victim 1’s Fight for Justice Against Jerry Sandusky� was released on Tuesday, a 240page book written by Aaron Fisher, his mother, Dawn Daniels, and his psychologist, Michael Gillum detailing Fisher’s history of abuse suffered at the hands of Jerry Sandusky and his enduring road to recovery. “That first summer at camp I called Jerry Sandusky by his first name, like all of us did. Now I call him monster,� Fisher writes. The book, written in first-person by each of the contributors, allows them to reflect on the past and how the events unraveled from their point of view. Writing style varies throughout the book, as it is broken up into sections, each author having his or her own chapter and distinctive voices. Neither Daniels nor Gillum testified during Sandusky’s trial in June, and the book was a way for them to fill in the gaps

port Raque. “I think it shows that we are a tight-knit community. The new slogan, ‘One Team,’ I think that was really reflected at the vigil. We have each other’s backs,� Graybill said. Paige’s brother, Parker Raque, has been providing updates via Twitter. The hashtag #prayforpaige is being used for those in the Penn State community offering prayers and support for the Raque family. “We’ve heard that she’s doing better,� Graybill said. “We hope and pray that she’s on her way to a full recovery.� At the vigil, students gathered in small prayer circles. Many wore yellow ribbons in their hair — Paige’s favorite color.

School board seeks bids to remove west bleachers By LAURA NICHOLS StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — Before much discussion ensued regarding future updates to Memorial Field, the State College Area School District Board of Directors passed action items including a motion to advertise bids for the demolition of a portion of the east bleachers at Memorial Field and approved the contract for the educational planner. Brainspaces Inc. was awarded an Educational Planner contract with the district, at a price of $78,000. After approving a motion to open bids for asbestos removal at Panorama Village, a project that is planned to start in January, conversation turned once again to Memorial Field. Ed Poprik, director of physical plant, said he expects a good crowd on Friday night for the State High football team’s home game and that a lot of changes won’t be made. The east bleachers were separated completely last week amid safety concerns. The sinkhole has always been underneath the stadium, through three meetings officials have said, “it’s nothing new.� Now, however, as the turf nears the end of its useful life, school officials have to do something about it. Poprik gave recommendations to the board at the regular meeting on Monday

and said that the south section of the east bleachers will open on Tuesday to be timely for the District 6 soccer playoffs. Temporary bracing will be added to the fence at the west bleachers, as the fence has since deteriorated, causing safety concerns. State College Borough director of public works, Mark Whitfield, said the borough remains committed to repairing the sinkhole underneath the field. There will be no cost to the district for the borough to do the work, he said. “This will be the fifth sinkhole we’ve worked on, it’s just a little bit deeper,� Whitfield said. The plan is to fill the sinkhole with limestone to make the subsurface more porous and therefore allowing to the field to drain much faster when it floods, Whitfield said. If the west bleacher and sinkhole remediation projects are completed during the 2013 calendar year as expected, significant portions of the turf playing surface will be disturbed. The overall recommendation from the administration is that the board authorize the west bleacher project and field surface replacement, while endorsing the State College Borough sinkhole repair, and deferring the storm water detention and Fairmount Avenue locker rooms. The costs for these recommendations are approximately $2.7 million, rather than the original $4.5 million. Action could be taken on either Nov. 12 or 26.

THE CENTRE COUNTY GAZETTE

Extra mile, from page 1 Tigh McManus, a close family friend who passed away from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a rare lung disease, in July 2010. After attempting to enter the famous marathon held in the Big Apple for three years, two-time marathon veteran O’Toole and her son were finally accepted as runners this year. Almost immediately, they decided to run in honor of McManus. “We were trying to think of what we could do to help us through the grieving process,� she said. And so the training began. In June, O’Toole began preparing for the marathon. Starting out with a very low level of running, she alternated short run days with long run days and added an even longer run once a week. “In the beginning of that five months period, my short runs are about two miles, my long runs are about three miles and my weekly long run is about four miles. Then I’ll do that for a couple of weeks and then my short runs become three miles, my long runs become five miles and my big weekly run will be a seven or a 10,� she said. “That’s how I’ve trained most of the way, to the point where to-

wards the end I’ll be doing my long, it will be about a 15miler.� O’Toole has begun her tapering off period, which means she has begun to cut down on her running. Normally, her tapering off period wouldn’t start until a week before the marathon, but this year is a little different. O’Toole’s daughter is expecting a baby this week, causing her to spend a long weekend in the Tahoe area. “I don’t anticipate getting a lot of running in,� she said with a laugh. Like O’Toole, Gray is a running veteran, having participated in the New York City Ironman this past summer. O’Toole said training for this 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike and 26.2-run has her son in great physical condition. Though she says Gray generally runs at a faster pace than she does, the two plan to run together during the NYC Marathon. “He’ll take it slow for me and I’ll be trying to push a little bit to not slow him down too much. We will meet somewhere in the middle,� she said. Though the two had never thought of running the marathon for a cause before, Gray’s decision to use his Ironman run as a way to raise money for the Tigh P. McManus Memorial Fund, a memorial fund created by McManus’ widow, Deb, to raise money for IPF research, gave O’Toole an idea. She and Gray have been asking friends, family and community members to honor McManus by giving $26.20 donations, one dollar for every mile of the marathon, to the Tigh P. McManus Memorial Fund. “We thought, ‘Well, let’s take this a little bit further and ask other people to make donations in support of us run-

NEED CA$H? $ELL $CRAP

OCTOBER 25-31, 2012 ning the marathon.’ We have a PayPal account set up on this Facebook page that Deb had established for Tigh where people can make contributions,� O’Toole said. Because many people began sending $25 donations, O’Toole and Gray have decided to contribute $1.20 to make the 26.2 miles. Since O’Toole and Gray made their decision to run in honor of McManus, the fund has seen a lot of activity. “We are getting a lot of small donations that are adding up to a significant amount,� O’Toole said. O’Toole hopes running in the NYC marathon with Gray will help to the two have closure with their loss. Because of his condition, McManus was prone to infection during his last months, causing neither to be able to truly say goodbye. “It’s just something that really bothers me that I never had that kind of closer,� O’Toole said. But most of all, O’Toole hopes that her run in the NYC Marathon will raise awareness about IPF and funding for research, as she believes it is something Tigh would have wanted. “He was just such a reliable good friend that for me this was just something I could do for Tigh. It’s not going to directly benefit Tigh, but it’s going to help someone else and Tigh was such a generous, giving person that I feel like that would make him happy.� To contribute to the Tigh P.

Christopher

Lee

State Representative Christopher Lee, the challenger, has a history of public service. He supports: • Clean water and a healthy quality of life for us all • Clean elections. An end to gerrymandering safe, one-party districts • Protecting the individual rights of women and doctors • Quality education for our children and a strong economy for us all

The 16-year incumbent has followed Gov. Corbett and the lobbyists. They: • Endanger our water: His Act 13 took away local control of fracking • Oppress women: He co-sponsored invasive ultrasound legislation • Harm our schools: He voted with Corbett to cut education, costing 14,000 school jobs statewide and raising local school property taxes. • Tilt our economy for the few: His Act 13 gave gas companies the lowest fees in the nation and gagged doctors. His House Bill 2626 will let new business owners keep workers’ taxes for themselves.

Support our troops with honest loans By Scripps-Howard News Service We love our troops, but some of us love ripping them off even more. Among those most determined to get their hands on the skimpy paychecks of the younger members of the military are certain segments of the student-loan industry. “Many service members may not have access to the full range of benefits afforded to them due to servicing errors and complex eligibility,” says a government report released recently. Often, this is in violation of the law, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said at a press conference. Somehow, this confusion results in increased profits for the loan companies. And it has to be deliberate. After the liar loans, toxic mortgages and flawed foreclosures of the Great Recession, it has to be deliberate profiteering. The financial institutions no longer get the benefit of the doubt. The loan companies will argue that the youngsters who signed for the college loans were of legal age and should have known what they were signing. Try telling that to St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. It’s hard even for most loan officers to make heads or tails of the fine print in the documents they are putting before 18-year-olds. The number of military personnel with student-loan debt somewhat mirrors the general population. About 41 percent in the military have student-loan obligations, compared to about 67 percent of college seniors. The average burden of $25,566 for a military member compares with $26,600 for the average college borrower. A corporal with two years of experience earns about $23,360 a year, according to the Army. Clearly, this is someone scraping the bottom of Mitt Romney’s 47 percent, but then Romney is clearly unfamiliar with the military and how its enlisted members live. Like obesity, the indebtedness of younger military members is a threat to national security. Pentagon officials say debt is one of the top sources of anxiety among troops. Members of the military struggling with serious debt are likely to lose their security clearances; in fact, it’s the top reason they do. Panetta says that’s something “we absolutely have to address.” Debt-burdened members of the military do have certain recourses, but lenders aren’t likely to tell them. They are eligible for reductions in monthly payments, for loan forgiveness after a certain number of payments, a reduction in the amount of principal for each year of military service, and a reduction in interest rates to 6 percent for student loans taken out before service. Curiously, these benefits are not widely publicized by the lenders. Put simply, our young soldiers may be naive and not terribly well educated in the ways of the world. But exploiting them is not only sleazy, it’s unpatriotic.

It’s time to quit hitting our kids Down here in Texas, spanking is in the news. And I’m not talking about the Texas All-State Spanking Party, a “three-day Spankapalooza” that was celebrated by a couple of hundred of committed adult spankers this summer in Dallas. No, another “spanking party” took place in nearby Springtown, when a male assistant principal at a public school paddled two teenage girls, leaving them with bruised behinds. Parents complained, not John M. Crisp about the spankteaches English at ing but because Del Mar College in Corpus Christi, the principal vioTexas. His column lated the disis distributed by trict’s same-sex Scripps Howard spanking policy. News Service. In the face of the complaints, the district promptly changed its policy. Now males are authorized to spank females and, presumably, the reverse. There’s something vaguely creepy about grown men spanking pubescent girls, even — or especially — for the purpose of correction. It’s puzzling why 19 states, including Texas, still allow public schools to spank children in the first place. In our culture, we’re fond of hitting each other. But mostly we do it vicariously. We prefer watching it, in

JOHN CRISP

the movies and on TV, on the football field and in sports like boxing and mixed martial arts. For the most part, it’s against the law to hit someone else. We’ve even become more enlightened about wife beating, a wretched practice encouraged for centuries by tradition, by the female’s inferior strength and by tendentious misreading of the Bible. Now, however, the only members of our society that we can still strike with impunity are the most defenseless: children. And we do hit them, a lot. A prominent study of this subject by Elizabeth Gershoff of Columbia University reports that over 90 percent of Americans were spanked as children, which belies the common complaint that modern children are undisciplined and disruptive because they haven’t been spanked enough. In 2002, Gershoff produced an extensive study of spanking titled “Corporal Punishment by Parents and Associated Child Behaviors and Experiences.” This hefty document is a meta-analysis of 88 studies of corporal punishment conducted over the previous 62 years. Gershoff carefully focuses her analysis around a narrow definition: “Corporal punishment is the use of physical force with the intention of causing a child to experience pain but not injury for the purposes of correction or control of the child’s behavior.” She systematically excludes from her study behaviors that most people would consider physical abuse, punishment techniques like beating, kicking, burning, punching and shaking. Gershoff is also careful not to as-

sert a simple cause-and-effect relationship between spanking and subsequent child behaviors. She speaks, rather, in terms of associations. What did Gershoff find in the 88 studies that she analyzed? An overwhelming association between ordinary spanking as commonly practiced in American households and later aggression, violence, disruption of the parentchild relationship, anxiety, depression, delinquency, alcohol and drug abuse and many more undesirable behaviors. Other studies since Gershoff’s have compiled a significant case against even the most seemingly benign forms of spanking. It’s no surprise that the American Academy of Pediatrics, as well as other professional organizations, strongly opposes spanking in any form. Still, in the face of considerable evidence that spanking does more harm than good, many of us cling to the conviction that nothing is better for a child than, as my students put it, a “good whuppin’.” We imagine that spankings can be administered in a careful, measured and loving way. That’s probably possible, but Gershoff finds a strong correlation between ordinary spanking and instances of child abuse. Most of the time spankings are accompanied by anger and frustration. Historically, mankind has inflicted many horrors upon its children, despite — or because of — their vulnerability. We’ve managed to rid ourselves of many of the worst of them. It’s time to quit the regular, systematic and culturally sanctioned practice of hitting them.

HEALTH & WELLNESS Pharmacists to showcase role they play in health care From Gazette staff reports LEWISTOWN — Pharmacists at Lewistown Hospital and Total Life Care pharmacies will use National Hospital and HealthSystem Pharmacy Week this week to underscore the many new and vital roles they now play in patient care. The evolution has been especially dramatic in recent years as pharmacists have moved beyond compounding and dispensing medications to become vital members of multidisciplinary patient-care teams. “Many consumers are not aware that pharmacists play a critical role in preventing medication errors, advising prescribers on the best drug choices, and working directly with patients to ensure they understand how to use their medications safely and effectively,” said Richard Stomackin, pharmacy director at Lewistown Hospital. “Pharmacy week is a great way to educate the public about how pharmacists can help them get the most benefit from their medicine.” Hospital and health system pharmacists have been able to take on enhanced patient-care roles because of a number of

factors, including the deployment of highly trained, certified technicians and new technologies like robotics that dispense medications. As technology evolves — such as the addition of machine-readable codes to medication labels — patients will have greater opportunities to have a pharmacist involved in their care. Pharmacists are experts on the thousands of medications available today, how each one works in the body, and the ways to use each one safely and effectively. Pharmacists who graduate today receive six years of education focused on medication therapy, and many pharmacists practicing in hospitals and health systems also complete post-graduate residency programs. They advise doctors and nurses on the best medications and monitor every patient’s medication therapy and provide quality checks to detect and prevent harmful drug interactions, reactions, or mistakes.

County’s Office of Aging sponsors flu shot clinic From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — The Centre County Office of Aging is sponsoring flu shot clinics for older adults, beginning Nov. 1. Advanced registration is required. The flu shot is the single most effective means for preventing infection with the flu virus and the complications associated with flu. Everyone who wants to be protected from the flu needs to be re-vaccinated each year because the flu virus changes each year. While everyone should get a flu vaccine each flu season, it’s especially important that certain people get vaccinated either because they are at high risk of having serious flu-related complications or because they live with or care for people at high risk for developing flu-related complications. According to the Centers for Disease Control people age 65 and over have some of the highest rates of hospitalization and death as a result of influenza infection. The age-related decline of the immune system also affects the body’s response to vaccination. Recent studies have shown that the traditional flu vaccine might not work as well for people 65 years of age and older because the weakened immune system pro-

duces fewer antibodies following vaccination to help protect against infection. Antibodies help respond to and protect against infection when exposed to the virus. If you are 60 years of age or better, please plan to participate in one of the clinics listed below: ■ Nov. 1: Penns Valley Senior Center, 102 Leisure Lane, Madisonburg, 7:30 to 10:15 a.m. (814) 349-8188. ■ Nov. 2: Philipsburg Senior Center, 300 North Front St., 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., (814) 3426549. ■ Nov. 6: Snow Shoe Senior Center, Medical Building, state Route 144, 9 to 10:30 a.m., (814) 387-4086. ■ Nov. 8: Centre Hall Senior Center, Fire Hall, Pennsylvania Avenue, 9 to 11:30 p.m., (814) 364-9511. ■ Nov. 13: Bellefonte Senior Center, 203 N.

Lab receives accreditation From Gazette staff reports LEWISTOWN — Lewistown Hospital Main Laboratory received accreditation from College of American Pathologists based on results of a recent on-site inspection as part of the CAP’s Accreditation Program. The facility’s director, Dr. Gopalkrishna M. Trivedi, was advised of this national recognition and congratulated for the excellence of the services being provided. Lewistown Hospital Main Laboratory is one of more than 7,000 CAP-accredited facilities worldwide. The U.S. federal government recognizes

the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program, begun in the early 1960s, as being equal-to or more-stringent-than government’s own inspection programs. During the CAP accreditation process, designed to ensure the highest standard of care for all laboratory patients, inspectors examine the laboratory’s records and quality control procedures for the preceding two years. CAP inspectors also examine laboratory staff qualifications, equipment, facilities, safety program and record, and overall management. For more information, visit www.lewistownhospital.org

$1 million faculty gift supports graduate students From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — A dedicated teacher and scholar, Dr. Gerhard Friedrich Strasser, professor emeritus of German and comparative literature at Penn State, has made a $1 million commitment in his estate to support graduate students in comparative literature and Germanic and Slavic languages and literatures. The gift is one of the largest ever made by a current or emeritus faculty member in the College of the Liberal Arts and designates the proceeds from the future sale of real estate for support of graduate education in the Departments of Comparative Literatures and Germanic and Slavic languages and literatures. “I am very grateful for Gerhard’s generosity, which will help attract the best graduate students to our college — students who, in turn, will become great teachers and scholars and contribute to their communities,” said Susan Welch, dean of the College of the Liberal Arts. “During his tenure at Penn State, Gerhard was an outstanding teacher of undergraduates and a committed mentor to his graduate students. Even today in retirement, he remains active in scholarly and public activities, and he remains devoted to educating others in creative and memorable ways.” Strasser joined Penn State in 1979 as an assistant professor of German and Comparative Literature and rose through the

ranks to the title of professor. For 25 years, he achieved an impressive record of teaching and research in an unusually broad range of topics including emblematics, cryptology, historical linguistics, the history of education and 17th-century travel literature. He taught many undergraduate courses ranging from freshman seminars to honors courses. Gerhard also served as head of the Germanic and Slavic languages and literatures department from 1997 to 2000. He retired in 2004 and was awarded the title of professor emeritus of German and comparative literature. “I have spent much of my scholarly career in the liberal arts here, and it was clear that the college should be one of the benefactors of my estate,” Strasser said. “During my 25 years in the two departments, there certainly were hard times on campus, but the faculty like myself continued to receive support for extensive research, and this policy continues to show the results of this support today. I am paying back some of the crucial support I received early during my career at Penn State, and I hope to help future generations of graduate students, who are the core of our two departments.” Prior to his retirement, Strasser authored two important monographs, “Lingua universalis, Kryptologie und Theorie der Universalsprachen im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert” ‘(Lingua universalis: Cryptology and Theory of Universal Languages in the 16th and 17th Centuries)’ and “Emblematik und Mnemonik der frühen

FIRE SAFETY

Neuzeit im Zusammenspiel (The Interaction Between Emblematics and Mnemonics in the Early Modern Period).” Over the past eight years, Strasser has published extensively on the 17th-century German polymath Athanasius Kircher. In 2007, he contributed a 50-page article on the rise of cryptology in the European Renaissance to “The History of Information Security: A Comprehensive Handbook.” Today, Strasser continues his research work in two of Germany’s great libraries, the Herzog August Bibliothek in Wolfenbüttel and the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich, and he continues to be a productive scholar.

State College police provide tips for trick-or-treat safety Hamilton also advises trick-or-treaters to stay in groups. For those who choose to dress up, Hamilton advises that costumes fit properly and be comfortable. “Oversized costumes can create a fall hazard,” he said. “Same consideration should be made when wearing hats (and) oversized shoes.” If a mask is worn, it’s important to make sure it is comfortable and provides adequate visibility, Hamilton said. “Masks can impair visibility which could cause a fall (and) impede vision when crossing a street,” he said. Hamilton said because most costumes are dark and difficult to see, it’s important to wear reflective material. Reflective tape adhered to both the front and back of the costume works well, he said. Another concern on Halloween, Hamilton said, is candy safety.

By MARJORIE S. MILLER mmiller@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — As Halloween and designated area trick-or-treat times approach, the State College Police Department offers a variety of safety tips for children and adults. Although most general Halloween safety tips remain the same year after year, it doesn’t hurt to have a reminder, said Sgt. Chad Hamilton, of the uniformed patrol division. Some tips, he said, include staying in familiar areas, avoid walking in streets and roadways and use sidewalks where available, and adhere to the dates and times set forth for the area where residents are trickor-treating. “Children should be accompanied by an adult,” Hamilton said, and “each person should have a flashlight.”

“My standard response is, if there is any question about the safety of a piece of candy, throw it away,” he said. “If it is partially opened, or appears defective in any way, throw it out.”

Hamilton said one final tip he recommends for Halloween safety is for a parent or adult to review any and all safety tips and safety concerns with a child before going out.

Aaronsburg hosts annual Dutch Fall Festival By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

AARONSBURG — The village of Aaronsburg was bustling with activity recently as the Haines Township Dutch Fall Festival was held. This event is a combination of a craft fair, folk festival and yard sales. Numerous craft vendors lined the sidewalks along state Route 45 with booths filled with a wide variety of handcrafted items, flowers, food and other items. They did brisk business all weekend. On the festival grounds, food stands served homemade ham and bean soup, sticky buns, sandwiches, fresh cider and other delights. Extremely long lines of people waiting for soup and sticky buns were common throughout the event. Live music was also featured on the festival grounds. In a garage behind the Penns Valley Area Historical Museum, the museum board members were selling its famous apple dumplings. The dumplings are a signature food of the annual festival, and were served with a choice of ice cream and syrups. Board members and volunteers gather weeks in advance of the festival to make well over 1,000 dumplings, which were kept frozen until the festival began. Proceeds from the sale benefit the museum. The streets, alleys and yards of Aarons-

burg were the scenes of many yard sales during the festival. This created a bargain hunter’s paradise, with items of all descriptions being offered for sale at bargain prices. Traffic was heavy at these sales, as shoppers perused the merchandise. Among the vendors was Charles Elliott, of Erie. Elliott’s specialty is hand caning of chairs. He travels around Pennsylvania and to Ohio, Maryland and New York, practicing his craft at festivals and shows and teaching classes in weaving. He has been caning chairs for 20 years, and has passed the craft on to his daughter, who lives in Aaronsburg. The chairs require six layers of woven rattan to complete — a task which takes Elliott about eight to 10 hours to complete. He calls his company Tale Weavers. “Every old chair has a tale to tell,” he said. He noted that chair frames survive for many decades, but the woven seats and backs fail from wear or rot away in storage. Restoring them is becoming a lost art, which Elliott strives to preserve. The weather for the festival was nearly perfect. The clear skies and sunshine made the fall foliage glow with color. The autumn beauty of nature in eastern Penns Valley was very apparent, and was much appreciated by the large crowd in attendance. This fall festival has become a major attraction and a tradition in Penns Valley. People from miles around look forward to it each year.

‘SCARE’ TACTICS

More than a job, dairy farming a passion, lifestyle and legacy STATE COLLEGE — Every day, while the moon still hangs in the sky, dairy farmers rise to begin a highly demanding day with jobs ranging from pulling calves to tilling the soil their crops will grow on. Although to some, it may sound a little disheartening, to dairy farmers it’s a challenge they happily accept. It is an opportunity to continue the legacies past generations dedicated their lives to preserving.

It is what makes us a close-knit family, by working and playing together it gives us a stronger bond.” According to Hartle, it is a family affair that goes far beyond a career. But dairy farmers have another priority — consumers.

All the noise and activity created by several kids, a dog and another cat in her previous home severely stressed out Isis. When in her comfort zone, Isis is very friend-

OHIO STATE AT PENN STATE

■

5:30 P.M.

■

The real NASCAR race series does not make a stop in Iowa City, so on Saturday night Penn State obliged the capacity crowd at Kinnick Stadium with its version of that kind of speed and daring. The Nittany Lions, using their NASCAR hurry-up offense, ran 90 plays, racked up 504 yards of offense, raced out to a 38point lead, and sprinted past long-time nemesis Iowa, 38-14, for its fifth consecutive victory and third in the Big Ten. Matt McGloin completed 26 of 38 passes for 289 yards and two touchdowns, Bill Belton ran for 103 yards and three touchdowns, and the voracious Nittany Lion defense allowed Iowa to gain only 20 yards rushing and 209 total. Iowa scored only once from scrimmage, and that was with just over four minutes to play, long after the outcome of the game had been decided. Penn State scored two touchdowns in the first period, both on passes by McGloin, followed by a 34-yard field goal and an 11-yard Belton run in the second period that gave Penn State a 24-0 halftime lead. The Nittany Lions then took just two plays to score after Jesse Della Valle returned the second half kickoff 46 yards to the Iowa 45-yard line. A 42-yard pass from McGloin to wide receiver Brandon Moseby-Felder and a 3-yard run by Belton made the score 31-0 and sent many of the Iowa faithful heading towards the exits. “Matt (McGloin) is just a very bright guy,” Penn State coach Bill O’Brien said. “He’s done a nice job of the operation this

year, calling the plays, understanding the play clock, and understanding the situation. “Through seven games you can’t say enough about Matt McGloin. The guy has worked at it, he’s prepared, and he’s a fun guy to coach.” Belton’s 103 yards rushing were the most in his career and marked the first time he has run for over a 100 yards.

8-yarder to Allen Robinson, to take a 14-0 lead. Penn State kept up the pace in the second quarter, getting a 31-yard field goal from Sam Fickens and Belton’s first touchdown on a 11yard run to take a 24-0 lead at halftime. Then, Delle Valle’s return, Brandon MosebyFelder’s reception, and Belton’s second touchdown on the first series of the second half essentially took Iowa out of the game with the score 31-0. Belton scored again in the fourth quarter to make it 38-0, but Jordan Cotton returned the ensuing kickoff 92 yards for Iowa’s first score of the game. Iowa tacked on another score late in the quarter to make it 38-14, but it was much too little much too late. “This was real big,” defensive tackle Jordan Hill said. “We haven’t won here since I was in second grade. The way we won it, it was huge for us.” On Saturday, Penn State will go for its fourth Big Ten win when the Lions welcome Urban Meyer and undefeated Ohio State to Beaver Stadium. The Buckeyes are 8-0 and 4-0 in the Big Ten, and they are coming off of an exciting 29-22 overtime victory over Purdue last Saturday. OSU star quarterback Braxton Miller was injured in that game, but — no problem — backup Kenny Guiton came in and directed the Buckeyes to two scores and the win. Ohio State will present many problems for Penn State, but PSU is peaking now and the White Out crowd at Beaver Stadium should expect Penn State to show up ready to start its engine.

Lions are making a statement in the Big Ten IOWA CITY, Iowa — We are in Sanctionian Nirvana. Savor Saturday night, Penn State nation. Few have felt as good in the last 11 months as Oct. 20, 2012. And you know what’s next. Unbeaten Ohio State and Urban Meyer at Beaver Stadium under the lights in an all-stadium Whiteout. Saturday’s effort at Iowa will be remembered for the on-field shelling of the Hawkeyes. I think we saw two larger forces at work here. First, Bill O’Brien may not just be coach of the year in the Big Ten, he might have brought the damnedest thing to the Big Ten since Joe Tiller and Purdue utilized the forward pass in ways the conference just wasn’t accustomed to seeing. Whatever the name you want to use for the offense O’Brien import-

ed from the New England Patriots, it has gashed three Big Ten defenses, and, at the very least, assured the series with the Iowa Hawkeyes will never be the dull, brain-drain football of the last decade ever again. Penn State morphed into its NASCAR package on the second series of the game and the ensuing 2:49 of game clock introduced Kirk Ferentz to a much different Penn State team than the conservative kind of a bygone era, one he defeated eight of 11 times. Two nine-play scoring drives in less than three minutes, two more two-play touchdown drives in less than 30 seconds and a 12-play, 63-yard drive ending with a 34-yard field goal by Sam Ficken. After all that, Penn State still had a 97-yard drive in it, too.

“Y’all haven’t seen our NASCAR package yet,” senior cornerback Stephon Morris said. “That wasn’t NASCAR. Our NASCAR, it’s uptempo. It’s really fast. It’s faster than what y’all have seen.” Is there a more attractive offense to play in if you’re a high school prospect in the Northeast with NFL aspirations than Penn State’s, fouryear bowl ban be damned? It’s Year 1 and it just dispatched the patriarch of the conference, Ferentz. Defensively, Penn State hasn’t skipped a beat, the well-oiled defensive front seven continues to be among the league’s best thanks to defensive line coach Larry Johnson and linebackers coach Ron Vanderlinden, the only two coaching holdovers from the old guard.

trick, of course, will be attracting the offensive talent to thrive in O’Brien’s offense under the scholarship limitations and lack of postseason until 2016 at the earliest. But if O’Brien can continue to do what he’s done with personnel he inherited, if he can mold relative unknown Kyle Carter into one of the conference’s best tight ends, if he can transform Matt McGloin, a former walk-on, into the best pro-style quarterback in the league, lose Silas Redd and Justin Brown and seemingly make due with Bill Belton, Zach Zwinak, Allen Robinson and Brandon Moseby-Felder, then what can the on-field product look like with top-flight talent?

The good, the bad and the ugly It was all good news in Penn State’s 38-14 drubbing of Iowa in Iowa City on Saturday night as the Nittany Lions improved to 3-0 in the Big Ten and 5-2 overall. First-year head coach Bill O’Brien now is riding a five-game winning streak. It’s the longest winning streak for a first-year coach in the history of Penn State football. Let’s take a closer look at the good, bad and ugly from the 24-point win over the Hawkeyes. ■ The Good: Bill O’Brien. The first-year coach continues to impress. Despite the sanctions and several key departures, O’Brien has his squad ready to play week in and week out. In previous seasons, Penn State would buckle under the lights in primetime. However, this is a different coaching staff. As a result, it’s a different team. Pretty amazing, when you think about it. ■ The Bad: Iowa quarterback James Vandenburg. The Hawkeye signal caller never got in a rhythm on Saturday night as the Hawkeyes struggled offensively. He completed 17 of 36 passes for 189 yards. He was intercepted twice and threw one meaningless TD pass. He was also sacked four times. Matt McGloin outplayed Vandenburg with another impressive effort. ■ The Ugly: The score. Great win for the Nittany Lions, but not much of a ballgame. Despite a primetime game under the lights, the Hawkeyes looked disinterested. That falls on head coach Kirk Ferentz. His squad looked unprepared and simply not ready for what the Lions were ready to dish out. Chances are that Urban Meyer will have his team a little more prepared. — Chris Morelli

Nittany Lions out to prove a point Even the biggest threat to the organization’s competitive persona, the simple realization of entering the season — perhaps, larger still, after as savory a victory as the 38-14 undressing of Iowa — knowing that no matter what the final record is, there is no invitation to any postseason game coming, does not irk this team much. “It doesn’t matter what anyone else is saying,” senior linebacker Mike Mauti said, “or lack thereof, I should say.” From what’s been gathered, Penn State wants to show the program not only has a pulse, but it is still pumping strong. Get off the idea that the NCAA sanctions and loss of bowl trip means much of anything to this team. That ship seems like it sailed a long time ago. Penn State’s football program, sabotaged by the NCAA in July, and, really, for the last 11 months, might just be returning the favor, becoming a national

IOWA CITY, Iowa — A white sign was taped on the wall in the bowels of Kinnick Stadium near Penn State’s locker room titled “Play the Penn State Way.” Underneath were three underlying points. 1. Hard and physical football. 2. All we need are the guys in the Penn State locker room. 3. Let’s go get our 5th win. Zero in on the second point because that’s the narrative for the 2012 football team. There’s a sense that this team does not much care what the opinion of Penn State football is outside of the Lasch Football Building. Bill O’Brien has downplayed national coach of the year talk. Individual accolades seem secondary to those who have been left off national awards lists.

anchored the defensive line, Mauti filled the stat sheet with eight tackles, a sack and an interception, and the rest of the defense helped hold the Iowa offense to just 209 yards. On offense, schematically, Penn State looks ahead of the three Big Ten opponents it has faced. Compared to previous seasons? Miles ahead. Saturday’s game against Ohio State will fill in any remaining blanks as to whether it’s the best in the conference. The difference? Going fast. Penn State’s NASCAR no-huddle package comes from New England, where O’Brien spent the last five seasons. It’s predicated on one-word play calls and is meant to give the defense little time to settle. “It’s not something you can just learn overnight,” quarterback Matt McGloin said.

storyline in spite of what the NCAA took away and tried taking away. Point No. 2, re-read as: Forget those who abandoned ship, forget the San Gabriel Mountains in Pasadena. Keep buying into what this coaching staff is preaching, and let the good times roll. “If we’re proving anything it’s the fact Penn State is not going anywhere,” Mauti said. “You can do what you want to us. You can take away things from us. You can try to split us apart. It’s not gonna happen.” Point Nos. 1 and 2 are a harmonious marriage bridging the previous 46 years of Penn State football with the first of the Bill O’Brien era. The Nittany Lions, through the years, have long maintained the mantra of being a tough, hard-nosed football team, and that hasn’t changed, particularly on defense.

That, however, must bring us here, to the sad, sobering reality that this team will never know what its ceiling could be. Consider this scenario: Win the Leaders Division, collect the hardware at home against Wisconsin and then watch the Badgers take your spot in Indianapolis for the right to play in the Rose Bowl. There is no SEC power or Pac-12 champion waiting in January, just the cold, bitter bite of winter. Instead of 15 bowl practices and perhaps the story of the year in college football sung from the national pundits all through the holiday season, there will be more questions about who is staying and who is leaving under the ridiculously lax transfer rules in conjunction with the NCAA sanctions that allow players to transfer to any school until preseason practice 2013. And, oh yeah, let’s not forget Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Curley/Schultz. But that should not be on anyone’s mind on this night. And maybe being here, 773 miles away, detached from it all — save five students dressed in black and white prison garb with Jerry Sandusky’s name on the backs and an Iowa scribe named Mark Emmert — was the true beauty of this whole situation: A group of 70 men fighting like hell and breaking out for the performance of the year to date in prime time. What is soon to come is coming, and that’s inevitable. Saturday’s performance and ensuing week of bedlam in advance of next week’s showdown against the Buckeyes? Almost unfathomable on Sept. 8 after a loss at Virginia. Now, the high point after a year of dismay.

Bellefonte can’t escape fog, Central By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — It was quite fitting that a fog rolled into Rogers Stadium on Friday night during the game between Bellefonte and Central because the Red Raiders appeared to be playing in a bit of a fog all game long. Central stomped Bellefonte on Homecoming in a 70-15 romp that was as lopsided as it appears. The Scarlet Dragons rolled up nearly 650 yards of total offense. They scored in just about every way imaginable — running, throwing and on special teams. The big story — especially in the second half — was the fog. It rolled in during halftime festivities and didn’t leave. Visibility was low, which made life interesting for officials, players and coaches. “I walked out at halftime and said ‘Where’d that come from?’ It was a little bizarre,” said Bellefonte coach Duffy Besch. What wasn’t bizarre was Central racking up yards and points by the bushel. Last week, the Scarlet Dragons (6-2) put 74 points on Philipsburg-Osceola. This week, the victim was Bellefonte, which slipped to 2-6. “I tell you, I take no pleasure in scoring 70 points on anybody,” said Central coach Dave Baker. “But it happens. We don’t plan to do that.” It was another tough loss for the Red Raiders, who have now dropped five straight. During the losing skid, the Raiders have been outscored, 25960. On this night, Central could do no wrong. The Scarlet Dragons scored seven rushing touchdowns, two through the air and one via kickoff return. The Scarlet Dragons took command from the start, racing out to a 42-8 halftime lead. Even with a running clock in the second, they continued to rack up the points. “They’re a very dynamic football team,” Besch said. “They’re the football team we thought we’d be playing. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to slow them down.” Central quarterback Austin Cunningham had a monster night. He threw for 231 yards and three touchdowns. He also carried the ball six times for 136 yards. All told, the Scarlet Dragons had 636 yards in total offense. Bradi Moore also had a big night. He had 122 receiving yards, 105 rushing yards and a 91-yard kickoff return. “They’re explosive players,” Baker said. “You better have some guys with speed to catch them.” Unfortunately, the Red Raiders just didn’t have the horses to keep up with the Scarlet Dragons. Moore scored a pair of touchdowns in the opening frame (one rushing, one receiving) as Central opened up a 28-0 lead after the first 12 minutes. Things didn’t get any better for Bellefonte in the second quarter. Central went up 35-0 before the Red Raiders finally hit paydirt when Brian White scored from 4 yards out. But the highlights were few and far between for Bellefonte. The Red Raiders couldn’t slow the train in the second half — fog and all. Now, they must regroup for a second meeting with Bald Eagle Area on Senior Night. BEA won the first meeting back on Aug. 31. “We have Bald Eagle next week and that is a very special game to all of us,” Besch said. “The first game was a special game, but this one is for the Curtin Bowl. When you play Bald Eagle, that is what you play for. We are going to work hard because we are going to do everything we can to put ourselves in position to win the game. That is all we can do at this point in the season because it is how we finish the season that is important to us.”

BALD EAGLE Area’s Dion Barnard, Bryan Greene and Dustin Pluebell bring down Clearfield’s Christian Lezzer.

Falling Flat Bald Eagle Area loses to undefeated Clearfield, 49-8 By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

WINGATE — It was Senior Night on Friday at Bald Eagle Area, and the Eagles had all of the motivation and intangibles with them as they took the field against undefeated Clearfield. They just didn’t have the speed. The lightning-fast Bison, led by multi-talented junior quarterback Christian Lezzer, struck early and often against BEA and all night seemed to be two, three, and even four steps ahead of the Eagle players in a 49-8 romp at Wingate. Lezzer set the tone for the night when he took off down the right sideline for a 41-yard scamper on Clearfield’s first play from scrimmage, and then Tyler Stratten took it 13 yards on the next play for the Bison’s first touchdown. More scores followed in quick succession. Stratten scored twice more in the first quarter to give Clearfield a 21point lead, and Clearfield added another 28 points in the second quarter to take a 49-point lead at halftime. The Bison cruised from there, with a running clock throughout the second half, to notch their eighth victory of the season without a loss. Lezzer finished the game with nine carries for 109 yards and two touchdowns, and Stratton ran for 90 yards on 10 carries with three touchdowns. Lezzer also threw for another 195

yards passing and a touchdown on an 84-yard bomb to wide receiver Trey Jordan. In all, Clearfield had a 468 to 122 total yard advantage in the game. “He (Lezzer) is just one of those special athletes that you don’t see very often,” Bald Eagle head coach Jack Tobias said. “He’s not just an athletic kid, he’s a big, strong physical kid too. He plays very well, and it’s hard to replicate that in practice. We don’t have anybody that looks like that.” While Clearfield was moving the ball almost at will, BEA had trouble getting its offense out of neutral. Quarterback Cole Long struggled and was unable to complete a first-half pass, and the Eagle running game managed less than 20 yards before the break. It didn’t help either that a bad snap on an attempted punt gave Lezzer and company a short 20-yard field to negotiate for their fourth touchdown on the first play of the second quarter. “It’s tough to match up speed-wise with these guys,” Tobias said, “and we knew that going in. They have athletes, and athletes at all positions. We’re a little banged up, but the kids came out and played hard. I can’t question their effort. “You know, when you’re going against a team and they have a guy like Lezzer, it’s tough. You have to try to stop him, and then they have guys on the outside that can run. They are a great football team, and they’re 7-0 for a rea-

son.” To its credit, Bald Eagle did not stop playing. The Eagles gained most of their yardage in the second half, with running back Titus Tice carrying it 11 times and gaining 55 yards. Tice finally broke the ice for BEA when he scored on a 2-yard run with just under five minutes in the game after a nice seven-play, 60-yard Bellefonte drive. Tice then caught a pass from Jason Jones for a 2-point conversion to finish the scoring in the game and set the final score at 49-8. “The kids played hard,” Tobias added, “and I thought they gave us a good effort tonight. Now we have to refocus and set our sights on Bellefonte next week. “We are trying to keep things in perspective with this season. We have a huge game next week with an opportunity for the playoffs. The guys gave us an effort tonight, and that’s all you can ask of them.” That game against Bellefonte, for the Curtin Bowl, is set to kick off at 7 p.m. on Friday, and it will be a rematch between the two teams. BEA won the first game, 42-21, but Bellefonte was turned away four times in the red zone and that score could easily have been much closer. This time, the stakes are higher, with BEA trying to break into the playoffs and Bellefonte trying to break a difficult fivegame losing streak.

State College rolls past Carlisle in 35-0 win By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

CARLISLE — The Little Lions continued their winning ways, scoring 28 second half points to upend Carlisle, 35-0 Friday night. State College got on the board after an 18-yard Darian Herncane touchdown catch following a scoreless first quarter to give the Little Lions a 7-0 halftime lead.

Two third-quarter touchdowns from Andrew Kelly and another score from Dan Fry gave State College a 28-0 lead with 2:07 left in the third quarter. Carlisle never threatened the Little Lions outside of a scoreless first quarter, and another touchdown by State College sent the game into mercy rule time keeping with 8:54 left in the game. The Little Lions improve to 6-2 on the year and will head back

home to Memorial Field for a matchup against Mifflin County on Friday. The State College Area School Board is expected to decided Monday if any additional steps will be taken in the immediate future to remedy the closed east stands of Memorial Field. ■ Penns Valley 31, Bucktail 12: Penns Valley won its fourth straight game on Friday night, knocking off Bucktail in Renovo. Cameron Tobias paced the

Rams, completing 10 of 18 passes for 178 yards. Penns Valley grabbed a 7-0 lead on a TD run by Tobias, then tacked on a field goal to make it 10-0 at the intermission. The Rams are now 4-4. Bucktail slipped to 4-3. ■ Huntingdon 34, P-O 13: In a battle of winless squads, Huntingdon spanked PhilipsburgOsceola. The game was knotted at the

intermission, 13-13. In the second half, the Mounties were driving for the go-ahead score when they turned the ball over. After that, it was all Huntingdon, which scored 21 unanswered points. The game was a sloppy one. The teams combined to fumble the ball 11 times. P-O lost three of its seven fumbles, while Huntingdon did not lost its fumbles.

Centre County teams come down the stretch By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

There are some intriguing matchups in Week 9 of the high school football season. A closer look at the games:

BALD EAGLE AREA (5-3) AT BELLEFONTE (2-6) BELLEFONTE — Bald Eagle Area will travel to Rogers Stadium in Bellefonte on Friday night to take on the Red Raiders in the annual Curtin Trophy game. Both of these teams are coming off of big losses last week, but when these two get together in this game, what happened last week doesn’t matter — or what happened last month for that matter. BEA and Bellefonte have met before this season in the 2012 opener for both teams. Bald Eagle won that game, 4221, but that score is somewhat deceiving because Bellefonte drove into the Eagle red zone four times early in the game, and BEA turned the Raiders away each time without points. The score of that game could have easily been much closer. BEA comes into the game 5-3 after last week’s loss to Clearfield and in contention for a District 6 playoff spot. After week eight, the Eagles are tied for sixth place among the district’s AA teams with 630 points, which is 40 points behind fifth-place Tyrone. Bald Eagle could get little done against Clearfield, but the Eagles nonetheless have a strong running game with Dakota Bartley, Dion Barnard, Bryan Greene, and Nate Sharkey taking the handoffs. Barnard has been injured, but he saw some limited action against Clearfield and could be ready to go against Bellefonte. Cole Long is the quarterback, and he throws mostly to Jonathan Romine, Jordan Kobularcik, Bartley and Greene.

Bellefonte is 2-6 after losing to Central last week. The Raiders are in the midst of a five-game losing skid and would like nothing better than to end that streak by beating BEA. Quarterback Jordan Fye, wide receiver Nick Leiter, and running backs NuNu Buey and Brian White lead the Raiders, who have shown the ability this season to both run and pass the ball. There’s no extra motivation needed for either team in this game, so this will be a hotly contested battle with both teams having a good shot at a big win. Kickoff at Rogers Stadium is set for 7 p.m.

MIFFLIN COUNTY (4-4) AT STATE COLLEGE (6-2)

TYRONE (5-3) AT PENNS VALLEY (4-4)

STATE COLLEGE — State College always seems to peak in the later stages of the season, and this season looks to be no different. Friday night, the Little Lions will be looking for their seventh win overall and their fourth victory in a row when they entertain Mifflin County in a Mid-State Conference matchup. The Lions are coming off a convincing 35-0 win over Carlisle after beating Central Dauphin East and Chambersburg in the previous two weeks. State College is averaging over 25 points per game, with Darian Hernecane, Pat Irwin, Ryan Goeke, Andrew Kelly, Ebrahim Britton, Chris Theis, and Dan Fry doing most of the damage. But don’t overlook the improving State College defense. It has given up only seven points in the last two games, and held Carlisle to only 69 yards of total offense and just eight rushing yards on 24 attempts. Mifflin County is 4-4 and owns wins over Williamsport, Central Mountain, Carlisle, and CD East. The Huskies are scoring 18 points per game, passing for 96 yards per game,

SPRING MILLS — Penns Valley has made a remarkable turnaround this season, going from 0-4 to 4-4 with an impressive string of victories. This week, the Rams entertain 5-3 Tyrone, which is one of the area’s best teams. Tyrone has lost only to Bellwood-Antis, Central and Clearfield, the latest a one-point heartbreaker to the Bison. Junior James Oliver has been the story so far this season for Tyrone. He has rushed 126 times for 1339 yards and 20 touchdowns. He averages over 10 yards per carry and over 190 yards per game. Quarterback Erik Wagner has completed 42 of 82 passes for 553 yards and five touchdowns, and his favorite receivers are Hayden Zook and Charles Wilson-Adams. Penns Valley had found its rhythm on offense in the past four weeks, with Cam Tobias leading the way at quarterback. Taylor Collison and Dom Hook have been major producers in the running game, and Luke Weaver and Ian Brown are the leading receivers. Penns Valley has shown an ability come back from adversity, which, at first glance, they will need in this game. If they can control the ball — like they have shown they can — and keep Oliver on the sideline, anything can happen in this game.

and running for 134 yards per game. Senior Shane Whalen leads the passing attack for Mifflin County, completing 31 of 92 passes for 573 yards and two touchdowns. Kyle Kahlay (332 yds.), Heath Hidlay (317 yds.), and Tim Beck (298 yds) are the leading runners on the team, and John McClay is the leading receiver with 14 receptions for 334 yards and three touchdowns. Mifflin County’s win last week over Central Dauphin East was a big one, and the Huskies will be coming into State College with new confidence. Yet, State College is battle tested and should be ready for the challenge. Kickoff at Memorial Field is scheduled for 7 p.m.

HYDE — This is a game of opposites and of two teams in entirely different places. Clearfield is unbeaten in eight games and has run roughshod over almost everyone they’ve faced. The only two teams that have challenged the Bison are Central and Tyrone, and both of them fell by one point. In District 6, AAA rankings, there is no one within 500 points of them in the standings. The Bison are led by one-man gang Christian Lezzer, who does virtually everything for the team — run, pass, rush the passer on defense, and defend the pass. He is helped in the backfield by Tyler Stratton who has run for over 840 yards and nine touchdowns, and reveiver Trey Jordan who has over 800 yards receiving. Philipsburg-Osceola, on the other hand, is struggling and still looking for its first win. The Mounties lost last week to Huntingdon, 34-13, and committed five turnovers in the game, all of which Huntingdon turned into points. Nick Gray has been a bright spot all season for Philipsburg, rushing for 456 yards and leading the power-oriented Mountie rushing game. Dustin Shuey and Erik Smith also contribute to the running game, and sophomore quarterback Curtis Matsko is still adjusting to the quarterback role after taking over from injured Caleb Pepperday. Philipsburg beat an undefeated Clearfield team last season, but for the Mounties to do that again looks like an uphill task. Kickoff at the Bison Sports Complex is slated for 7 p.m.

Miller, Suisham unsung heroes in Steelers’ victory Inconsistent effort from the Pittsburgh Steelers has been part of the reason behind their sluggish start. Unwavering consistency from a couple of unsung sources is preventing it from being a lot worse. Pittsburgh leveled its record to 3-3 with its 24-17 win over AFC North rival Cincinnati on Sunday night with key contributions coming from tight end Heath Miller and kicker Shaun Suisham. Miller, who has gathered a fan following which could rival Shawn Curtis covthat of franchise players the Pittsburgh ers Ben Roethlisberger Steelers for the or Troy Polamalu, has Centre County never garnered the atGazette. Email him at sports@centre tention he may decountygazette.com. serve on a national stage. Miller’s blocking

SHAWN CURTIS

rates him among the best at his position while his productivity in moving the chains has seemingly received a huge boost this season as the offense continues to evolve under new offensive coordinator Todd Haley. Miller’s night against the Bengals represented the lunchpail efforts that reflect the Pittsburgh market’s blue-collar reputation. On Sunday, he displayed the rejuvenation of his game, at least the receiving part of it. As a pass-catcher, Miller caught six passes for 53 yards, trailing only Antonio Brown and his seven catches for 96 yards. Miller helped the Steelers find their way to drawing even with Cincinnati late in the second quarter when he wrapped his mitts around a bullet from Roethlisberger for a 9-yard touchdown strike. Then, as Pittsburgh attempted a two-point conversion, Miller snagged a fade from Roethlisberger to complete the early comeback from a 143 deficit. Miller appears to be getting more looks from Roethlisberger on key passing downs, collecting 31 catches for 291 yards and a team-high five touchdown receptions. Last

season he had just 51 catches and two touchdowns while Pittsburgh looked toward its corps of speedy receivers to handle the brunt of the pass-catching duties. Early in the fourth, the Bengals were victimized by Miller’s other gift: Blocking. A block by Miller on Vontaze Burfict sprung running back Chris Rainey toward an 11-yard touchdown run; one that put Pittsburgh ahead to stay with 14:16 remaining. Meanwhile, Suisham continued his tremendous start with three field goals — all from 42 yards or deeper — with two coming in the first half as the Steelers offense struggled to finish drives. With just the 54-yard attempt against Tennessee serving as his lone blemish in 15 field goal attempts, Suisham’s consistency has proven to be vital to the Steelers, who have called on him with increased confidence. Suisham, in his third season with the club, connected on just 23 of 31 field goal tries in 2011 after closing 2010 with Pittsburgh after Jeff Reed was released. Last season, Suisham’s struggles came

from deeper than 40 yards where he connected on seven of 13 attempts. So far in 2012, he’s 6 for 7 from beyond 40. While the kicking rage in the league appears to be gravitating toward kickers trying to hit field goals from the next area code, Suisham’s work at making field goals within the range of his leg has afforded the Steelers a bit of a luxury when defenses tighten up. Suisham already has one game-winner on the season — a last-second kick to down the Eagles on Oct. 7. His boots against the Bengals were key in keeping the Steelers in a position to overtake Cincinnati. The continuation of steadiness from Miller and Suisham may be overlooked as the focus continues to find the struggles of the offensive line or the secondary along with the team’s inability to keep key players healthy. At the same time, the Steelers’ 3-3 record is probably a bit worse without the quietly stellar seasons turned in this far. Now if the Steelers could only eliminate the consistent shower of penalty flags when they’re returning kickoffs or punts.

Instant replay in baseball, please? I saw my first live Major League Baseball game when my dad took some of my friends and me to Connie Mack Stadium to see the, well, Milwaukee Braves take on the Phillies. We don’t have to mention the exact year, but let’s just say that Hank Aaron then was a young right fielder on the Braves coming off of an MVP season. The Phillies those years were terrible, and getting worse. Not long after this, they would set an all-time major league record by losing 23 games in a row and finish that season 46 games out of first place. None of that mattered to me, though. I was a fan, and with a grand slam or so, the Phils would have been right back in some of those games. The way I was seeing things then Pat Rothdeutsch covers high school was that a lot of what was happening sports for The Cento the Phillies was due to bad calls by tre County Gazette. the umps. Even that first game, no He can be reached matter how authoritative the umps at sports@centre seemed, a lot of those pitches didn’t countygazette.com look like strikes to me. And some of those guys were definitely safe at first. The thing was, who could tell? What they called, they called, and that was it. Now in 2012 they can tell, and with instant replay, so

PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

can the rest of us. Yes, bad calls are part of the game, but why not eliminate the ones that can be reversed using replay? One of the latest egregious examples of a bad call affecting the outcome of a big game happened in game 2 of the Yankees playoff series against the Orioles. With the score tied 1-1, the Yankees’ Robinson Cano clearly tagged out Omar Infante at second base in what should have been the third out of the inning. Instead, Infante was called safe, and the O’s went on to score two more runs in the inning and win the game by three runs. At that point in the game, those two runs were huge. A three-run lead is much different than a one-run lead, and everybody saw that Infante was out, and it could easily have been fixed with one look at a replay. Even the umpire, Jeff Nelson, said it was the wrong call, but nothing could be done about it. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to change the rules and adopt an expanded use of replay to get such calls right? Next year MLB has widened the use of replays to include catching line drives, fair and foul balls, and fan interference, but that still would not help Cano and the Yankees. So why not go all the way? Make everything reviewable except for obvious judgment calls like balls and strikes, some fair or foul grounders that bounce over first or third base, and infield fly calls (sorry Braves!). Safe or out on the bases would definitely be reviewable.

For those worried about the pace of the game, MLB could introduce a system something like the NFL. Besides the replay situations already in use, each team would get one chance to protest a call and ask for a review. NFL coaches throw red flags onto the field, perhaps baseball managers could throw small bats with (too much) pine tar on them. Each team gets one protest per game, that’s it. Even if it wins the protest, it does not get another one, so teams can’t be wasting them on inconsequential plays. (Also, if a manager gets kicked out of a game, the team loses its protest.) There has to be clear evidence to overthrow the call on the field. Would the Yankees have used their “bat” to protest the Cano call. More than likely, and they would have won it as well. Who knows, maybe the game, too. History, after all, seems a lot more preordained after it has been recorded than while it was happening. Would this slow down the games? A little maybe, but no more so than glacially slow pitchers or hitters who step out after every, single pitch. It seems simple. Take advantage of the technology that’s available, and get the calls right. No matter what system is finally put into place, spend a little time. A baseball game does not have a clock.

OCTOBER 25-31, 2012

The Glass Eye: World Series Preview It had to end sometime. St. Louis’ magical winning streak in must-win games was beyond impressive (7-0 dating back to the final game of the 2011 season), but baseball teams cannot sustain such streaks for long — the game is too variable, too competitive for that. I was therefore not that surprised when the Cardinals lost Game Seven Monday night — I was, however, VERY surprised that the game was essentially over after three innings, and that the Cardinals’ vaunted offense was unable to mount any threat at all. I think it’s important, though, that we recognize the CardiDave Glass is a nal-like resiliency of columnist for The the Giants, who have Centre County now overcome 2-0 and Gazette. Email 3-1 deficits to make Dave at buggythe World Series. San racer@verizon.net. Francisco 6-0 in mustwin games this postseason, including 4-0 on the road in those situations. The Giants have done this while getting a lot of mediocre starting pitching (with the notable exception of Ryan Vogelsong) and while relying on an offense that is very inconsistent. The Giants are set to face a very rested Detroit Tiger team, but the Giants do get home-field advantage thanks to the NL winning the All-Star Game. As I’ve said many times) ANYTHING is possible in a short baseball series, seven games is NOTHING in baseball terms ... but let’s

DAVE GLASS

break down the matchup and see who has the advantage.

OUTFIELD The Giants generally start Gregor Blanco in LF (thanks to Melky Cabrera’s substance-abuse suspension), Angel Pagan in CF, and Hunter Pence in RF. The Tigers start Austin Jackson in CF, but after that it gets complex — Andy Dirks starts in LF against righties but tends to play RF against lefties, while Quentin Berry and rookie Avisail Garcia platoon in the other outfield slot. The best of this whole group by far is Jackson, who has become a very good player on the verge of becoming a star (he hit .300 with good power and defense). Dirks hit very well this season in limited duty (.322 with power), but Berry is not a good hitter and while Garcia has potential, he skipped AAA and isn’t really ready to start in the majors. I expect Delmon Young to play the outfield in the non-DH games, probably taking Berry’s spot — he has a big-game reputation but overall he’s a below-average hitter and a poor defender. Pence has hit very poorly for the Giants since being traded, but his pedigree (career .285 hitter with 20-25 HR power) shows he’s a very good hitter. Pagan is a tremendous defender who showed quite a bit of gap power this season (38 doubles, 15 triples). Blanco will take a walk, but has NO power at all. Overall I think this is a draw — both teams have strong centerfielders, good hitters in right (Pence and Dirks) and weak links in left. EDGE: EVEN

INFIELD Detroit has a surefire hall-of-famer in Miguel Cabrera at third, a great hitter at

Proud to Support YMCA, Thon Bellefonte Cruise & Last Cruise

first in Prince Fielder, and below-average hitters in the middle with Peralta and Infante (although both hit better in the past than they did in 2012). The Giants have a good-not-great hitter at third with Pablo Sandoval, Marco Scutaro has CRUSHED the ball since being acquired to man second base — but their production at short and first (Crawford and Belt) is below-average. Belt has some pop but is prone to long slumps, and Crawford is an above-average defender but is unlikely to ever be more than adequate with the bat. Offensively it’s no contest, Detroit is much better, but the Giants’ edge defensively narrows the gap slightly. EDGE: DETROIT

CATCHER Detroit’s Alex Avila appeared to be headed for stardom after 2011, but he did not hit well at all in 2012 and has shared time in the postseason with Gerald Laird, who is above-average for a backup catcher. The Giants have Buster Posey, the likely NL MVP — he hit .336 with 39 doubles and 24 home runs, and plays good defense. Occasionally he will play first and Hector Sanchez will catch, and Sanchez is generally comparable to Laird. This is one of the Giants’ big edges in this series, to win Posey must play like the MVP candidate he is. EDGE: GIANTS

ROTATION San Francisco won the 2010 World Series largely on the strength of their rotation, and 80% of that rotation is still intact — Tim Lincecum has won two Cy Youngs, Matt Cain has 6 straight 32+ start, 200+ inning, sub-4.00 ERA seasons, and Madison Bumgarner has had three solid years. Add in Barry Zito as a dependable (if overrated) innings-eater, and the Giants’ rotation ought to be a strength, right? Well, Lincecum had a HORRIBLE season, was banished to the bullpen for the postseason and was awful in his only LCS start; Bumgarner was skipped in the LCS due to ineffectiveness, and until his Game 7 start Cain was average at best. Were it not for Ryan Vogelsong’s heroic efforts (2 wins, 14 innings, only 2 runs allowed) the Giants would not be in the World Series. Their rotation has to be considered a huge question mark at this point,

with only Vogelsong and Cain as dependable. The Tigers, on the other hand, won two series almost entirely on the backs of their starting pitchers. Their starters have a combined 1.02 ERA this postseason, and they COMPLETELY dominated the powerful Yankees in the ALCS. They have depth, but they also have the best pitcher in the game — Justin Verlander. Verlander has made it look easy for most of this postseason — 24 innings, only 10 hits and 5 walks allowed, against 25 strikeouts. He’s the rare pitcher that actually DOES get stronger as the game goes on, and with their sweep Detroit gets to send him out in Game 1 to set the tone. Detroit’s other starters are a mix of craftiness (Doug Fister), steadiness (Anibal Sanchez) and talented inconsistency (Max Scherzer). It seems likely that Detroit will pitch somewhat worse in this series — after all, that 1.02 ERA is not sustainable long-term — but they still are very, very good and the Giants have HUGE questions in their rotation. BIG advantage for Detroit here. EDGE: TIGERS

BULLPEN This is the Tigers’ biggest weakness — their closer Jose Valverde blew up twice already in the postseason and has been more or less benched, and the rest of their relief corps has a long history of inconsistency. The Giants, on the other hand, have a very deep and effective bullpen — at least five pitchers Bruce Bochy has been able to count on to put out fires. That bullpen is the primary reason San Francisco is still alive, and they will have to remain stout if San Francisco is going to pull the upset.

PREDICTION The Giants have to be considered underdogs — they do not have a deep offense, and their rotation has not been up to par. I consider Game One vital for the Giants — to win the series, they are going to have to solve Verlander at least once — and they have a better shot of doing so on their home turf. If they can somehow beat him, they give themselves a shot at a long series. However, I don’t think they have the bats to match up, and I think this is Verlander’s postseason to shine. San Francisco will pull out a game or two, but in the end I think it’s DETROIT IN SIX.

Gearing Up Women’s gymnastics squad ready for big season By BRIELLE PASTORE For The Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State women’s gymnastics coach Jeff Thompson and his team are gearing up for the season by practicing at the Mary B. White Building on campus. According to GymInfo, the Nittany Lions were ranked 13th in the 2011 Preseason Coaches Poll. The Nittany Lions are extremely young in 2012, with seven freshmen on the roster. There are 15 gymnasts on the squad. Thompson can’t remember the last time he had this many freshman on his squad. “Maybe my second year at Auburn,” he said. This is Thompson’s third season as head coach at Penn State. “It's really been fun so far,” he said. Thompson said that he and his associate head coach, his wife Rachelle, would run practice the same way they have during their first two years at Penn State. The Nittany Lions have some ad-

vantages with approximately 46 percent of the team being freshman athletes. “They push older girls to be better by being better themselves,” Thompson said. “Their enthusiasm for their sport of gymnastics and Penn State University is infectious and it really helps keep the hardest practice to seem like fun.” According to Thompson, all of the veteran gymnasts knew what to expect on the first day of practice. That’s not the case for the freshmen. Samantha Musto, a freshman from Mays Landing, N.J., has been a gymnast since she was 6. Her favorite event is the vault. Musto said her favorite things about Penn State so far are the campus and her team. “There’s more fresh, new things that they didn’t have before and we are all ready to work hard and help the team out,” Musto said of her fellow freshmen teammates. Taylor Alotta, a freshman from New Tripoli, committed to the Penn State gymnastics team because of the philosophy and coaching. “I really like Jeff and Rachelle,”

she said. “When I was little, I always wanted to come here and it’s even better I get to be a part of the team.” According to Alotta, going through the same obstacles together is an advantage of having so many freshmen on the team. She said the upperclassmen have been helpful by showing the newcomers which buildings their classes were in before the semester started. Alotta is looking forward to her first-ever collegiate competition. “Hopefully (I) hit my routine,” she said, “so I can contribute to the team’s score.” Alotta looks forward to showing her teammates that they can count on her. Her coaches prepared her well and she is excited to “go out there and do what she’s supposed to do.” The practice on Friday was filled with enthusiasm, loud music and cheers. The girls emphasized the “One Team” aspect of Penn State sports by cheering loudly for each other while working hard. The Nittany Lions kick off their season with the Blue-White Showcase on Dec. 14.

Women’s soccer squad rolls to another title By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The No. 4 Penn State women’s soccer team won its 15th consecutive Big Ten regular season championship with a 1-1 tie against Michigan on Senior Day at Jeffery field on Sunday afternoon. Michigan led after a goal in the 59th minute, but Christine Nairne scored with five minutes left on a penalty kick to tie the game. Neither team was able to score through overtime, and PennState (10-2-1, 9-0-1) settled for the tie and the championship. “I am so proud of this group,” head coach Erica Walsh said. “I am so proud of where they are today and where they came from. There is a lot of emotion surrounding Senior Day. This is just a fantastic group of young women that are prepared to go out and succeed in their chosen field, but not yet because we still have a little more work to do.” Penn State will continue its season Friday night at Purdue. ■ The No. 1 Penn State women’s volleyball team picked up its 20th win on Saturday night with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Michigan. It was the 36th time Penn State has gone over 20 wins in a season.

Penn State won the first and second sets, 25-19 and 2518, and was looking for the shutout. But the Wolverines took set three, 25-21, and then tied it with a set four win, 25-22. The Lions, however, regrouped and held Michigan off with a 15-10 win in the fifth set to take home the match. Ariel Scott let Penn State with 18 kills, while Deja McClendon had 16 and freshman Megan Courtney had 13. Micha Hancock handed out 53 assists, and sophomore Dominique Gonzalez had 22 digs. The Lions’ next two matches are at Iowa and then Sunday afternoon at Nebraska. ■ The Penn State men’s soccer team beat No. 24 Northwestern, 1-0, in double-overtime on Sunday afternoon in Evantson, Ill. Hasani Sinclair scored his first goal of the season in the 104th minute off a rebound in front of the goal to give PSU its ninth win of the season and third in the Big Ten. “Northwestern has been undefeated in our conference for the last two years,” Penn State head coach Bob Warming said. “They deserved all those wins and today it took outstanding performances from our guys to pull off the win. I couldn’t be prouder of them right now.” Penn State has now won three in a row and next is in action against Ohio State at Jeffery Field on Sunday.

■ The No. 4 Penn State field hockey team remained in first place in the Big Ten after it defeated No. 21 Ohio State 3-0 on Friday afternoon. The Nittany Lions are 4-1 in the conference and tied for first place and are now 13-3 overall. “It worked out well,” Penn State coach Char Morett said. “I thought that we had a much better second half. I know that we had two goals in the first half, but I think the team stepped up and played much better defensively in the second half ... And it was great to get to get a shutout on the road against a strong Ohio State team.” Kelsey Amy scored her 20th and 21st goals for the Lions, and Brittany Grzwacz scored her 10th. Penn State will finish out its regular season on Saturday at Michigan State and then begin preparations for the Big Ten tournament, scheduled to start on Nov. 1 at Iowa.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Pennsylvania Hands bring historic touch to Bellefonte By ANNE WALKER For The Gazette

BELLEFONTE — Through the end of this month, the Bellefonte Library will host a fascinating series of photographs knows as Pennsylvania Hands. The project, created by nationally renowned photographer Sally Wiener Grotta, makes up part of a larger project called American Hands. Grotta, who recently received honors from the New York Foundation for the Arts, focuses the project on “those who keep alive the crafts and skills needed when our culture was developing.” The displayed photographs focus on the hands of skilled artisans as they weave, spin, cane chairs and perform other tasks that, historically, formed the necessary tools used in the lives of Pennsylvania’s early residents. Grotta fears that many utilitarian skills may vanish as society becomes more automated and reliant on digital devises. She began the project three years ago, and with the camera as her tool, she documents methods and artistry of traditional crafts, hoping to help preserve them. She intends to return to each craftsman’s studio to document their development and progress with their particular skill. “When we do things manually,” according to Grotta, “we transcend the ordinary.” Grotta’s work, while drawing attention to craft and artisan, has an arresting quality to it. You can sense the warmth in the facial expressions of the craftsmen. Yet somehow Grotta

The photographs have a starkness to them that doesn’t allow for anything frivolous or ornamental. The composition of her photos draws the eye into every detail. She captures the roughness of thatch, the shimmer of tin and the softness of wool. “It’s colorful and vivid,” observes library branch manager Jennifer Freed. “People stop and ask about it. It’s led to lots of conversation and makes a huge difference here.” At 2 p.m. on Oct. 31, Grotta will visit the library for a free slideshow discussion of her work. She describes Pennsylvania Hands as “a visual cele-

bration of those individuals who keep alive the traditional crafts that built our state’s dynamically diverse culture.” The library encourages anyone interested in traditional crafts, history or visual arts to visit for the afternoon. When Grotta initially brought in the work for display, Freed was impressed. “I just said, ‘Wow.’” Grotta’s vision invites the viewer into a time when we valued manual work. This exhibit gives a glimpse, she emphasizes, “our exceptional ability to create.”

‘Sweeney Todd’ a cut above standard theater offerings By HARRY ZIMBLER For The Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — The great Stephen Sondheim/Hugh Wheeler musical “Sweeney Todd” opened to thunderous applause last Friday evening at the Pavilion Theatre on campus. The standing ovation was well deserved and this is a production not to be missed. “Sweeney Todd” continues through Nov. 2. Offered by Penn State Centre Stage, this “Sweeney Todd” must be ranked with the greatest university productions ever done. Directed by Susan H. Schulman, it is brilliantly designed, staged and acted.

If you go What: "SweeneyTodd" When: Oct. 16-Nov. 2 Where: Pavillion Theatre Tickets: www.theatre.psu.edu Info: (814) 863-0255 or 1-800-ARTS-TIX “Sweeney Todd” is not your typical American musical. It tells the story of one Benjamin Barker, a man who has been wrongly jailed and whose wife and child have been lost to time. He is hell bent on revenge and joins with one Mrs. Lovett to create meat pies that are, to say the least, out of the ordinary. Certainly, given some graphic violence, this may not be for children. Schulman’s directorial vision helps her young, talented cast tell a complex story in a clear and exciting way. I have seen this musical play several times before and this production delivered more professional polish

‘Happy Valley to Hollywood’ scheduled

than any of them. This version offered a clarity of narrative that is extraordinary. It should be noted that Schulman directed a revival of “Sweeney Todd” on Broadway that garnered her a Tony Award nomination for best direction. It became clear — quite early on in the production — that Schulman has a great gift for staging. Her cast moved with a fluidity that was beautiful to behold. Perhaps the most amazing aspect of this production was the maturity of the cast, despite their young ages. According to the playbill, Kevin Toniazzo-Naughton, who plays Sweeney, and Emma Stratton, who plays Mrs. Lovett, are both undergraduates. Toniazzo-Naughton delivers a stunning performance as the dark, yet sympathetic Sweeney whose driving force is revenge for what he believes is the untimely death of his beloved wife. Sweeney’s torment is palpable, and his pain real. Everything this young actor does rings with truth and believability. Much the same can be said about Emma Stratton. Her comic timing and physical humor is impeccable, her love for Sweeney, real. As you head to your seat in the Pavilion Theatre, you realize you are in for a unique experience. The theater is flooded with stage smoke, setting the dark, sinister mood for the musical. You truly are in 19th century London. Set designer Shannon Knox transforms the Pavilion Theatre into a multi-level environment that captures the essence of Fleet Street and London’s back alleys. It envelops the audience, placing viewers in the action of the musical. Costume designer Richard St. Clair

The costumes, especially those of the lead performers, are a visual delight, capturing the essence of each character’s soul in their garments. Musical director Dan Riddle deserves a special mention for his work with the three electronic keyboards that provided a full, rich sound approaching a good size orchestra. Lighting by Becky Heisler reflected the inner turmoil of the characters as they wove their tale. Everyone connected to this production, including cast and crew, deserves kudos for their contributions to one of the most satisfying theatrical experiences to be had in this region in many years. Don’t miss it.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Four Penn State alumni turned American television legends will be guest speakers on Oct. 26 at the Playhouse Theatre for an informal conversation titled “Happy Valley to Hollywood.” Panelists are Gerald Abrams, Don Bellisario, Carmen Finestra and James Jimirro. Each alumnus has been honored with the Distinguished Alumni Award, Penn State’s highest award for an individual. Among the four, they have won or have been nominated for 15 Emmy Awards from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. According to Penn State Live, the 75-minute program starts at 3 p.m. next Friday in the 388-seat Playhouse Theatre, adjacent to the Forum Building. The event is sponsored by the College of Communications and the College of Arts & Architecture and is free and open to the public. Tickets are not required. Amanda Gifford, Class of 2004 from the College of Communications and director of national weekend programming for ESPN Radio, will serve as moderator. She held a similar role in 2006 for a Penn State program featuring Bob Costas of NBC. The four TV legends will discuss their careers, which featured leading roles in the creation of some of television’s most popular shows, as well as an iconic cable network and several Emmy Award-winning television movies. Each is a benefactor of the College of Communications, creating centers of study, a learning laboratory and endowing scholarships, according to Penn State. Abrams, Class of 1961, and founder of Cypress Productions, has been a television producer for more than four decades, winning Emmy Awards for such productions as “Nuremberg” and “The Defection of Simas Kudirka.” His “Family of Spies” was also nominated for an Emmy Award. He executive produced “44 Minutes,” the FX Network’s highest-rated show during its first nine years as well ESPN’s acclaimed “Four Minutes.” Abrams’ late wife Carol graduated from Penn State with honors and was a National Peabody Award winner. His son, J.J. Abrams, has followed in his father’s footsteps, as director of “Mission Impossible” and “Star Trek,” and creator of the TV series “Lost.” Bellisario, also Class of 1961, has created several of TV’s most successful shows over the past 30 years, including “Magnum, P.I.,” “Airwolf,” “Quantum Leap,” “JAG” and “NCIS,” earning six Emmy nominations for Best Drama Series. His other creations include “Tales of the Gold Monkey,” “Tequila & Bonetti” and “First Monday.” He was also a writer and producer on “Black Sheep Squadron” and the original “Battlestar Galactica.” He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. A retired Marine, Belsiario’s shows have often featured military veterans as characters. Belisario has established a $1 million scholarship in the College of Communications, Penn State officials said. Finestra, Class of 1971, moved to TV after a stint as an Off-Broadway actor and began writing for "“The Cosby Show” in 1984. He left the show in 1990, having made it to the supervising producer position. Finestra received three Emmy nominations for that series. From 1991-99, he was a writer and co-executive producer for “Home Improvement,” garnering three Emmys and two Golden Globe nominations. Finestra is currently is a partner in Wind Dancer Productions, a firm he co-owns and co-founded with actor Tim Allen. According to Penn State, it was his financial support built the College’s Carmen Finestra editing lab. Jimirro, Class of 1958, was the creator and founding president of The Disney Channel and Walt Disney Home Video, and is currently chairman of the board of National Lampoon. At The Disney Channel, Jimirro was responsible for the conception, development and launching of the fastest-growing pay service in history.

THE CENTRE COUNTY GAZETTE

Here’s to the scariest flicks of all time Let me just start off by saying that I am a horror movie buff. I like being scared in the theatres or at home. Usually it is hit or miss. In fact, it’s been awhile since I have seen a truly “scary� movie. But, since Halloween is just around the corner, I thought I would compile a list of my top five favorite horror movies. (They are not ranked in any particular order by the way, just in the order in which they came to mind.) 1. “The Descent� (2005) I remember seeing this movie for the first time in college. And shortly thereafter, never ever wanting to go into a cave. The premise is simple — six women with a rather interesting affinity for spelunking decide to have a “girl’s weekend� and go explore a local system of caverns. As you would imagine, this idea goes along brilliantly until they find themselves not only stuck down there, but also having entered the wrong cave system altogether. From there, it’s a mad dash to try and escape, oh, and fight Gregory Henn is a off hoards of manfreelance writer sized bat creatures. If who covers the you’re claustrophobic entertainment scene for The Centre in any way, this movie scares you on two levCounty Gazette. els since more often than not, the characters are maneuvering through small tunnels and tight places between rocks. But if you can handle that and scary albino ghouls are your thing, then by all means hit the play button. (Spawned one sequel) 2. “Scream� (1996) When this movie first came out, I was only 9 years old, so of course, I wasn’t allowed to watch it. But, a few years later it debuted on network television, and I did everything in my power to secretly record it to VHS tape (remember those?) and later watch it, mostly through cracks in my fingers. This movie wasn’t the first of its kind, but rather a re-establishing of what the slasher genre could be. Taking its cues from earlier films like “Friday the 13th� and “Nightmare on Elm Street,� “Scream� showcases what has quickly become the fodder of modern horror. Namely, a group of highly sexual teenage kids who seemingly always wind up having un-supervised parties where booze flows freely and a killer is on the loose. But, what “Scream� brought to the party, so to speak, was an overall cleverness and an underlying mystery element. Who is Ghostface and why is he trying to kill Sydney? (Spawned three additional sequels) 3. “Dawn of the Dead� (1978) The second installment of George Romero’s Dead “trilogy� is simple enough to understand. Amidst a zombie outbreak, a group of survivors band together and take up residence in a local shopping mall, safe from the outside. Sounds scary right?

Well, it gets scary when we realize that, despite their circumstances, the people still can’t help but give in to their lustful consumerism and allow their guard to be lowered so they can shop. Romero does a great thing in his movies in that he doesn’t just allow them to be mindless shock and terror. Laced within all of his work is a heavy dose of American commentary. Romero understood that usually, it’s not the zombies that are inherently frightening, but rather how we humans react in spite of them. The simple fact is that if you would willingly trade safety and security for some leisurely shopping, you probably deserve to be eaten. (Remade in 2004) 4. “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre� (1974) Raw, unrelenting, visceral and spellbinding. All of these words equally describe Tobe Hooper’s mid-seventies classic horror film. Again, the premise is simple. A group of five friends driving through Texas, stop to visit an old family farm. Their explorations lead to another house out back and there begins the nightmare. Having been influenced as a child from stories about the real-life serial killer Ed Gein, Hooper wanted to create something that would stick with people for a long time to come. What he created easily fits that description. Praised for its sheer assault on the audience and genuinely frightening moments, TCM has long endured the critics and is still considered one of the scariest movies of all time. It is also argued that this movie helped spawn an archetype in horror known as the “surviving female.� (Spawned three sequels and a prequel, remade in 2003, a “direct� sequel to this film is set for release in January 2013) 5. “Dead Alive� (1992) Now, this movie is by no means “scary� like the rest, but it makes my list for one simple reason. It is easily the most ridiculous zombie movie, ever made. Ever. Filmed in New Zealand by none other than Peter Jackson (of “Lord of the Rings� fame), this absolutely uncompromising look at a zombie outbreak tells the story of a sheltered adult man named Lionel and his overbearing mother. When a rare Sumatran Rat Monkey at the local zoo bites her, it’s only a matter of time before the bite spreads and soon Lionel’s world becomes a living nightmare. Nothing is off limits here. Everything from a karatechopping Priest, to a zombie baby running loose in a park, to a final party scene to end all party scenes. If you are squeamish, this movie is definitely not for you. It easily earns the title, “goriest fright film of all time� for a reason. But, unlike most mainstream gore, everything here is played for a laugh and once you begin to see and dare I say, appreciate, the carnage, it becomes hard to not sit back in pure amazement. So there it is. I know that it is lacking in other great films, namely “Halloween�, “Shaun of the Dead�, and “Alien�, and in fact there are better movies that I have yet to see myself. But whatever you end up watching this Halloween, I sincerely hope that you are scared.

Penn State’s SBDC celebrates 15th Anniversary By HARRY ZIMBLER For The Gazette

STATE COLLEGE — Despite the turbulence of budget cuts and economic recession, Penn State’s Small Business Development Center is celebrating its 15th year of service to businesses in Centre and Mifflin counties. It has been about four years since major cutbacks were made at the SBDC, and the organization has found a way to not only survive, but also thrive and grow. For example, in 2008-2009, the Penn State SBDC assisted in the creation of nine businesses. In 2011-2012 that figure reached 52 businesses created. The mission of the Penn State SBDC is to assist in growing the economy in Centre and Mifflin counties by providing the region’s entrepreneurs with a wide variety of business advice and assistance. Some services are designed to help startup businesses, while others are resources for established companies looking to grow. According to Heather Fennessey, director of the Penn State SBDC, the organization has helped start nearly 300 businesses since its creation in 1997. The Penn State SBDC, like those located at Lock Haven and Bucknell universities, is part of a statewide system of 18 SBDC’s. Fennessey added that the Penn State SBDC is partially responsible for the creation of 1,593 jobs and for saving an additional 474 jobs. A survey of SBDC clients

states that the center has helped increase sales by $74.6 million. How did the Penn State SBDC make it through the tests of recent times? The staff credits the determination and grant writing abilities of Fennessey. “We have an amazing director,” stated Laurie Linton, educational programming coordinator for the SBDC. “She keeps on writing grants to find us the money we need to provide our business services. For example, she recently received word that we were awarded a grant from the Jobs Act.” In addition to strong grant writing abilities, the Penn State SBDC depends upon strong time management skills to get its job done. “We also have interns from the College of Business and Environmental Resources,” said Denise Bechdel, environmental consultant for SBDC. “It’s a great opportunity for them to get some realworld business experience.” “I do the environmental side of our services,” she said. “I help clients with compliance issues. I also help with energy efficiency.” Over the years, the SBDC’s mission has evolved to include a greater focus on commercializing research done at Penn State. In addition, it works with student entrepreneurs seeking to start a business. “We try to leverage the assets of the University,” said Fennessey. “That’s really what distinguishes us.”

PENN STATE Small Business Development Center director Heather Fennessey spoke to MBA graduate students at a recent event at the Penn Stater. The Penn State SBDC hopes to build on a highly successful 2011 service year. In 2011, the group delivered nearly 6,000 hours of business consulting, assisted in 51 business

startups and presented 41 seminars. Last year 47 percent of the SBDC’s efforts were focused on established businesses.

UNIVERSITY PARK — The Northeast could help lead the way to a renewable-energy-based economy by utilizing marginal and abandoned land to grow energy crops such as perennial grasses and fast-growing woody plants. That’s the goal of a new research and education project led by Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences and supported by a $10 million grant, announced Oct. 16, from the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative, a program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture. The Northeast Woody/Warm-season Biomass Consortium, or NEWBio, will develop perennial feedstock production systems and supply chains for shrub willow — a short-rotation woody crop — and the warm-season grasses switchgrass and miscanthus. The project will promote the use of marginal farmland and abandoned lands, such as reclaimed mine sites, so that these crops will not compete for resources with food production. “The Northeast has substantial demand for transportation fuels, an educated and capable rural workforce, and more than 3 million acres of marginal, degraded and abandoned land that could become productive, profitable sources of biomass with improved management,” said project leader Tom Richard, professor of agricultural and biological engineering and director of the Penn State Institutes of Energy and the Environment. “Sustainable bioenergy systems could provide broad societal benefits,” he said. “NEWBio is aimed at overcoming existing barriers and dramatically increasing the sustainable, cost-effective supply of lignocellulosic biomass, while reducing net greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing ecosystem services and building vibrant communities.” Consortium partners include Cornell University, State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, West Virginia University, Delaware State University, Ohio State University, Rutgers University, Drexel University, University of Vermont, the USDA Agricultural Research Service’s Eastern Regional Research Center and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Idaho National Laboratory.

Spanning from New England to West Virginia, the project also will engage state and local agencies, citizen groups, environmental and economic development organizations, and companies in fields such as crop genetics and fuel manufacturing and use. Among key industrial collaborators are Aloterra Energy, American Refining Group, Case New Holland, Double A Willow, Ernst Conservation Seeds, Mascoma, Praxair, Primus Green Energy and Terra Green Energy. Richard explained that NEWBio will center on four large demonstration projects, each with biomass production and supply chains operating at commercial scales of thousands of acres. The projects will be geared to produce 500 to 1,200 tons per day of lignocellulosic biomass suitable for manufacturing advanced transportation fuels. “Each demonstration project will be located in a specific community, with real industrial customers,” he said. “These areas have unique agronomic and socioeconomic conditions that will allow analysis of multiple feedstock business models, ranging from corporate-owned and leased plantations to contract growing to commodity marketing. “With commercial collaborators committed to feedstock production, logistics, preprocessing and conversion, these demonstration sites will provide a realworld focus for our team’s research, extension and educational efforts.” NEWBio will address technical issues in three areas: human systems; plant production and genetics; and harvest, preprocessing and logistics. Integrated with these technical thrusts will be teams looking at sustainability systems, safety and health, extension and educational programs, and leadership and evaluation. Researchers involved in the project include plant scientists, agricultural and biological engineers, forest scientists, agricultural safety and health specialists, agronomists, agricultural economists, rural sociologists, supply-chain and business-development experts, and extension educators. The first such NEWBio educational event will be a short course and site tour titled “Perennial Grass Energy in the Northeast,” Oct. 24 and 25 in Meadville.
