UNIVERSITY PARK — Former Penn State wide receivers coach Michael McQueary is seeking $4 million in damages from Penn State, according to a civil suit filed on Tuesday. McQueary filed a writ in May, notifying Penn State of his intent to sue. The suit is whistleblower, defamation and misrepresentation case and says the events leading to and McQueary’s wrongful termination and comments made by former Penn State President Graham Spanier have kept him from finding employment and has subjected him to “public scorn and vilification.” MICHAEL Before a grand jury in 2010 and McQUEARY again at trial in June, McQueary testified he walked in on Jerry Sandusky sexually abusing a boy in the Lasch Football Building locker room shower on the night of Feb. 9, 2001, and maintained that he made sure to make them aware he was in the building by slamming his locker shut before leaving. Now, McQueary is saying he deserves to be compensated for “lost future earnings, plus general damages to be determined at trial for distress, anguish, humiliation and embarrassment, plus punitive damages costs of suit and such other relief deemed appropriate by the court,” according to court documents. In court documents, McQueary said he was, to his knowledge, the only Penn State employee not reim-

STATE COLLEGE — On Saturday, inside the walls of the Pennsylvania State Correctional Institution at Rockview, inmates — many facing life behind bars — came together for charity. Nearly 100 inmates jogged around the prison yard track at the 33rd annual Pennsylvania Run-a-thon. The inmates converged on the track and ran until early afternoon all to raise money for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Centre County. “It’s just a great event,” said Marie Hamilton, founder and former director of CentrePeace along the Benner

Otto’s brews up success with local touch By TRACEY M. DOOMS For The Gazette

STATE COLLEGE — In November 2010, the country was in a recession, many businesses were closing or struggling to hang on — and Otto’s Pub & Brewery expanded into a new facility twice the size of its old one. “Our old parking lot was always overflowing,” said coowner Roger Garthwaite. “Our customers were very patient waiting for the new location.” This year, Otto’s is celebrating 10 years of serving Opinion .............................. 7 Health & Wellness ............. 8 Send Story Ideas To editor@ centrecountygazette.com

craft-brewed beer and locally sourced cuisine, currently at 2235 N. Atherton St. Diners at the expanded restaurant enjoy twice as much seating, a wood-fired oven, two full-service bars, displays of historic Pennsylvania brewery memorabilia and lots more parking. Just two years after moving into the new building and being named Small Business of the Year by the Chamber of Business & Industry of Centre County, Otto’s is now expanding again to increase brewery capacity and on-site retail sales. Education .......................... 9 Community ................ 10-13

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT Garthwaite credits Otto’s success to a three-part formula of family, community and quality. The “family” part begins with Garthwaite and his son-in-law, Charlie Schnable, who is co-owner and head brewer. A Penn State alumnus, Schnable is the man behind such brews as Red Mo, Black Mo, Slab Cabin and Spruce Creek, all named after local streams, as well as Mt. Nittany Pale Ale, namesake of the local landmark.

The “community” part of the formula comes into play with Otto’s support of the “Buy Fresh, Buy Local” concept. The restaurant purchases bread, cheese, wine, vegetables, poultry, fish, meat, ice cream, and various sauces and condiments from area farmers and vendors such as Elk Creek Fish Hatchery, Harner Farm, Penn State Creamery, The Cheese Shoppe and Tait Farm.

Inmates, from page 1 Pike. “It started a long time ago. I started getting requests from the inmates to do something charitable. They just run their hearts out.” The event began in 1979. The money raised didn’t always go to Big Brothers Big Sisters, however. When the Run-a-thon began, organizers had different ideas. “This was the inmates’ idea and in the first few years, they wanted to raise money for children with cancer. That’s the way it was for the first couple of years, then it changed. It’s a pretty significant thing for these inmates,” Hamilton said. According to Hamilton, the shift to Big Brothers Big Sisters came when Rockview inmates decided that they wanted to donate the money to an organization that provided one-on-one mentoring support for at-risk children. Big Brothers Big Sisters, a part of the Centre County Youth Service Bureau, was the perfect fit, she said. “When it was time to pick a charity, they chose Big Brothers Big Sisters because a lot of them think that maybe if they had a Big Brother when they were young, their lives would’ve turned out differently,” Hamilton said. Thom Brewster, current director of Centre Peace, has watched the Run-a-thon in previous years. He worked as a “counter,” someone who counted the inmates’ many laps. “It’s just an amazing event,” Brewster said. “You see those hardcore runners out there and those just strolling casually around. But all of them have a common goal — to help a charitable organization.” The Run-a-thon began at Rockview. However, by 1981 word had trickled down throughout the prison system

PAGE 3 Melissa Donohue, a case manager with Big Brothers Big Sisters, was also at the Run-a-thon for the first time. “At first, I was nervous to be sitting next to criminal offenders, but by the end of the morning I had chatted with several of them and discovered that despite the barbedwire-covered fences and the guard towers with 24-hour surveillance, these men were holding onto their humanity with humor and the formation of friendships with each other,” Donohue said. In addition to helping Big Brothers Big Sisters, the Runa-thon provides some great benefits to the inmate. “You’re talking about a group of men running 30 to 40 miles. A lot of them train 364 days of the year,” Brewster said. “There are great health benefits for these men. It keeps them healthy and out of prison hospitals. That helps the taxpayer. It’s a win-win.”

about the great things the inmates were doing. Other prisons followed suit. The rest, as they say, is history. “At one point, we had 24 prisons participating and it was the largest inmate volunteer effort in the world,” Hamilton said. The Run-a-thon was originally simply going to be called an inmate marathon, but there was concern that some inmates wouldn’t be able to run the required 26.2 miles. While some certainly don’t run that distance, there are many that run the miles — and then some. At this year’s Run-a-thon, one inmate, who goes by the name of “Lee,” reportedly ran 50 miles in a little over six hours. The record, according to Hamilton, belongs to Rob Brown, who once ran 63 miles over the course of the day. “It’s pretty significant when you think about it,” Hamilton said. “What these men do is pretty amazing. They’re proud of it. There’s an awards ceremony and those who participated get certificates. They take great pride in that.” Austin Smucker of Big Brothers Big Sisters watched the Run-a-thon for the first time this year. He thought it was inspirational. “It was great to witness these guys running for kids and for some of them to inform you that they train year round for this event is truly amazing,” said Smucker, a case manager with BBBS.

Man pleads guilty Memorial Field to to cross-burning host game this week By The Associated Press JOHNSTOWN (AP) — A Philipsburg man has pleaded guilty to burning a cross in white woman’s yard because she had a black man living there. A federal grand jury in April indicted Ryan Held, also known as Ryan M. Foley, 21, of 133 Hemlock St., on two counts of interfering with housing for the August 2010 incident in Woodland in Clearfield County, according to federal prosecutors. They said Held sought to intimidate the woman and her male friend. The alleged victims are not named in the indictment. The crimes carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 7. U.S. District Judge Kim Gibson revoked Held’s bond and ordered that he be confined until the sentencing.

STATE COLLEGE — State College Area School District officials announced on Tuesday afternoon the varsity football team’s home game on Friday against Chambersburg will be hosted at Memorial Field. The announcement comes one day after the east side bleachers were closed indefinitely. District officials said even though the home bleachers will not be in use, they believe the decision affords the best opportunity for the student-athletes to play in their hometown and stadium with their families, friends and fans in attendance. District officials continue to work on solutions to maximize seating capacity. Season tickets will be honored and those fans will be directed to a designated section of the west bleachers. There will be concessions available on the Fraser Street (west) side of the stadium. — StateCollege.com

PSU Votes holds forum at HUB

By SAMI HULINGS For The Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — With the 2012 presidential election less than six weeks away, PSU Votes, a nonpartisan political initiative, held the first of its four open forums in Heritage Hall in HUB-Robeson Center on Sept. 26. Beginning at 8 p.m., students and local residents listened as Jay Paterno, Lady Lions’ head coach Coquese Washington and Penn State student David Brinker explained the importance of civic issues, registering to vote and actually entering the polling booths on Election Day. As the first to speak, Paterno compared the right to vote to a treasure with great value and power. “If I told you that men and women had fought and suffered and even died to possess just a small slice of this treasured power, would you let it lay dormant and unused?� he asked. “That is your challenge. That is your treasure, the voice of your vote.� Paterno also spoke of the struggles concerning voting that American men and women faced for centuries. He said because of efforts of these men and women today, each and every American has the right to vote, no matter what race or sex. “In the eyes of the law on voting day, we are all equal. We have an equal say and an equal voice,� he said. Because of this equality, Paterno challenged all Penn State students to continue making their voice heard, as they did in the 2008 election, making Centre County stand out in numbers in respect to voter turnout. “For years politicians could ignore young voters and pay attention to old voters. Why? Because of the perception that young people were apathetic and didn’t matter,� he said. “That myth was shattered four years ago. The question is will you keep that up? The question now is will you continue to keep the voter turnout at Penn State strong?� Washington also encouraged all Penn State students to use their right to vote through a story about her father’s childhood in Mobile, Alabama. She explained that while visiting her father’s family one summer, he took her to pools, water fountains and restaurants that he could not use as a child, simply because of the color of his skin. He also that as a young man, he marched for equality. “For me, that was the first lesson in what voting means because my father went on to tell me that we changed our society because we understood there were two things that need to happen,� she said. “We needed to have access to equal education and we needed to be able to exercise the right to vote. Without those two things, things were not going to change.� Washington said she votes, and encourages all to do so, because of her father. “He made it crystal clear to me that voting changes things. Your vote matters. He would always say to me, ‘Coquese, one vote makes a difference. Your vote can change anything,’� she said. Brinker, a doctoral student in Communications, Arts and Sciences, was a replacement speaker for John Gastil. He used the forum as an opportunity to discuss the incivility that exists between political parties in this country. Through a PowerPoint presentation, he explained that more people need to see voting as a right of citizenship, not an allegiance to a specific political party. “Over time, we have grown more partisan. People have

PENN STATE women’s basketball coach Coquese Washington speaks to students at PSU Votes, a political initiative which was held at the HUB on Sept. 26. grown more inclined to identify further with an extreme on the political report. (But) Our differences are not as deep as we might think they are.� Like Paterno, Brinker encouraged students to see voting as a right, not a simple something extreme lefts or right take part in. “Get educated on the issues that matter to you. Get registered. Think about the decision. Then show up and vote,� he said. “It is a mighty gift passed down to you over the ages. A gift that is in your hands. Use it and get your friends to use it. Don’t look back and say ‘I wish I had.’�

McQueary, from page 1

theme and logo, features a megaphone to remind the community of how the crowd is energized at any Penn State event, according to the Penn State Homecoming website. “The crowd creates a united sound of thousands that imitates the roar of the lion. The sound of the roar reminds us of all the pep rallies, the football games, THON, and every other unique experience that our school has to offer. It represents that glory that will continue to echo in the hearts of many for countless years to come.” Bridgette Carrier, executive director of Penn State Homecoming, said there are a variety of new and different homecoming events this year. One of those was a nighttime 5K, which was held on Labor Day and drew more than 600 participants. Another was a float-building workshop for the parade, Carrier said. “(Attendees) learned some tips to make better floats,” she said. Also something new this year was tryouts for the talent show, Carrier said, which helped narrow down the acts to really display some of the most talented students. Additionally, the parade this year, which will be held beginning at 6 p.m. Friday, will feature two giant floating balloons, similar to what is seen at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Carrier said. “I think it’s going to add a new and exciting element,” she said. Carrier said what makes homecoming weekend so special is that it provides students with the opportunity to give back to the Penn State community and to the alumni who have helped make it what it is today. “Homecoming is a chance to celebrate your university,” she said. Officer Kevin Winkelblech, of the traffic and warrant unit of the State College Police Department, advises homecoming guests to drive safely and be alert to heavy traffic and pedestrians. “We will have the normal heavy football traffic coming to the game on Saturday,” he said. “For Friday, we are predicting heavier traffic in the afternoon and evening than what is normal for a football Friday, due to the parade.” The parade will form in the lots on Porter Road near Curtin Road, Winkelblech said, and will head south on Bigler Road to Pollock Road, and then west on Pollock to Shortlidge. It will then head south on Shortlidge to East College Avenue, then west on College Avenue to Burrowes Road, then north on Borrowes, and will disperse north of Pollock Road, he said. The route will be closed from 5:45 to 8:20 p.m., Winkelblech said. Westbound traffic on East College Avenue will be detoured onto Porter Road to Park Avenue, then west on Park Avenue to Atherton Street. Local traffic traveling westbound on East

bursed for counsel fees incurred related to the grand jury investigation or his testimony and that he was refused severance pay. McQueary said he was not even aware that he was fired until Penn State President Rodney Erickson announced it in July. “The plaintiff received no notice that his employment was terminated until he heard during a televised news conference on July 5, 2012 ... stating that the plaintiff was no longer employed by the university,” the court document says. Former Penn State President Graham Spanier is blamed in the court document for the defamation of McQueary’s character. The suit cites comments made by Spanier that suggested McQueary lied to law enforcement officials about his testimony. Citing irreparable damage to his character as the comments were read online and in print and broadcast on television, McQueary wants Penn State held liable as no formal apology was ever issued. Penn State spokesman Dave La Torre said the university was just receiving the information as media became aware of it on Tuesday, as the document was filed the same day. The university has no comment at this time. No court date has been set or judge appointed to the case.

Your license plate may speak volumes Scripps Howard News Service A car says a lot about its owner, perhaps a lot more than the owner might suspect. In an extensive examination of automated license-plate tracking technology, The Wall Street Journal reports that the new tracking devices have the capacity to do more than a one-shot confirmation whether a car is legally registered but over time build a picture of the driver’s habits, travel routes and destinations. And there is now the capacity to store the information cheaply and in huge quantities. One plate-tracking company, according to the Journal, has 700 million scans on record. As the cost of plate-tracking technology has dropped, more and more police departments are acquiring the devices — more than one-third of large U.S. police agencies in 2012 by one estimate — many of them paid for by the Department of Homeland Security. Meanwhile, the camera and software technology to photograph and read license plates has improved dramatically. Law enforcement agencies say they use the devices to identify stolen cars, ticket scofflaws and track the vehicles of suspected criminals. The privacy implications are chilling, especially to the International Association of Chiefs of Police that cautioned the devices can record “vehicles parked at addiction counseling meetings, doctors’ offices, health clinics or even staging areas for protests.” In the course of their analysis, Journal reporters Julia Angwin and Jennifer Valentino-DeVries found that data about a typical American is collected in more than 20 different ways during everyday activities. And there is a growing capacity to match this data with credit card, cellphone location, online searches and social network databases. The early entrant firms to the field of tag tracking were typically started by “repo men,” specialists in retrieving vehicles from deadbeats. Scott Jackson, founder of MVConnect, tells the Journal he would never sell the data his firm collects to marketers or the general public. That’s not to say someone else won’t. One firm, Baltimore-based Final Notice Location & Recovery LLC, tells the Journal that it has amassed a database of 19 million plates in locations in Maryland and Washington, D.C. The information is given free to police, but the company tells the newspaper that it soon hopes to sell the information to jail bondsmen, process servers, insurance companies and private investigators. Privacy stands little chance where there is an economic incentive to intrude upon it. Indeed, privacy seems more and more like a quaint notion left over from the 20th century.

Report confirms flaws in SATs WASHINGTON — The good news is that more teenagers hoping to be college bound are taking the SATs. The bad news is that the scores on these bellwethers for predictability of success have dropped with the exception of a few of the nation’s wealthiest and most educated counties. In fact, according to the national press, the reading scores have declined to a 40year low. Is anyone really surprised considering the mania of today’s teens for electronic communication in an entirely new abbreviated language called texting? How would they know about Dan K. Thomasson such things as is a columnist for sentence strucScripps-Howard ture, vocabulary News Service. and meaning when they are responding in a runtogether series of OMG and LOL statements? It’s enough to make one twitter. Who really reads these days? American juveniles from every economic level spend thousands of hours a year before screens playing games.

like the Tarzan series and “Voyage to the Center of the Earth” seem mundane and uninteresting. There is also nothing startling about the confirmation that the higher the income of the test-taker’s family, the better the chances for success. It has been that way since this examination was first established in 1926 to screen applicants for elite Ivy League schools. Not until after World War II did many schools use it to deal with burgeoning enrollments. The correlation between wealth and achievement is simple to explain. It mainly comes from the fact that those families with the most wealth can afford for their children not only to take the test multiple times but also to provide them with considerable expensive instruction before and between. These youngsters also grow up in more educated environments where one or both parents have college degrees. The newest reports show a decline since 2006 in scores among every racial group, except those of Asian descent. The College Board said 57 percent of the test takers did not score high enough to indicate likely success in college, according to The Washington Post. A reason cited for the drop in overall scores is that college hopefuls from lower incomes are being exposed to the test that by any stretch of the imagination is an elitist exercise. This, among other things, is why more and more colleges have turned to the ACT as a more equitable means of determining admissions. For the first time, those colleges requiring the ACT have exceeded those relying

solely or partially on the SAT. There are other problems long ignored by the College Board that administers the SATs in dreaded four-hour sessions. Doing well can be attributed to learning how to take the exam, not overall knowledge. Longtime critics of the SATs also argue that if they were a true test of what one learns through 12 years of schooling, they would not be subject to short-term improvement, which of course they are, as an entire cottage industry in pre-test lessons can attest. There is also the fact that many of those who perform poorly on the exam even though their grades reflect a high degree of learning do so because of pressures to score high. They simply don’t test well under the circumstances. We all know students whose grades in college are far better than what one would have assumed from their SAT scores. Is the fact that less than half of those taking the examination actually match the prediction for college success as alarming as it seems? Perhaps. But once again there are and have been serious flaws in this examination as there are in any standardized tests supposedly capable of measuring an entire student body. Not everyone responds the same. The SATs were designed to provide a balance to grading systems that differ widely from one school district to another. It often has just reflected what could reasonably have been expected. Youngsters from acclaimed suburban public systems like Fairfax County, Va., are highly successful. Those from poorer, inner city systems aren’t. How extraordinary!

What’s wrong with redistribution? One good gaffe (47 percent “who are dependent upon government”) calls for another, so Romney staffers reached back to 1998, catching Barack Obama telling students at Loyola University that he actually believes in “redistribution, at least at a certain level.” In 1998, Obama probably didn’t imagine that 14 years later he would be president of the United States. If he had, he might have chosen his words more carefully. On the other hand, he also John M. Crisp p r o b a b l y teaches English at couldn’t have Del Mar College in imagined how Corpus Christi, Texas. His column casually in 2012 is distributed by he would be Scripps Howard called a “socialNews Service. Email ist,” even when him at jcrisp@ he hasn’t come delmar.edu. close to behaving like one. Or how toxic a word like “redistribution” could become. After all, “redistribution” is only a word, and even when it’s attached to the phrase “of wealth” its meaning needn’t be as malignant as the anti-Obama forces imagine. The term may have acquired a bad reputation, but “redistribution” can be used just as easily to describe what happens when people pool their resources to create the infrastructure of

a civilized, secure society. Almost no Americans, including the Democrats, want to bring everyone’s income down or up to the same level. But nearly all of us believe in pooling our money —”redistributing” it — for common purposes. Furthermore, most of us believe in some level of progressive taxation to make the process work. This is how we create fire departments, interstate highways and a huge army and navy. It’s how we build dams and safe public water supplies. It’s how we manage to go to the moon. And, as it turns out, most of us — about 96 percent — also believe in deriving personal, direct benefits from the redistributed money. This is borne out by the findings of a 2008 national survey by the Cornell Survey Research Institute, as reported in The New York Times on Sept. 24 by Professor Suzanne Mettler of Cornell and Associate Professor John Sides of George Washington University. Ignoring the many government initiatives, like highways and safe food, that benefit everyone, Mettler and Sides explored the extent to which individual Americans use any of 21 social policies — student loans, Medicare, housing — that the federal government provides, including social policies embedded in the tax code. The average American uses five of these policies at some point in her lifetime. Mettler and Sides tweezed out differences in the way various groups of Americans use government benefits, but the overwhelming find-

ing was that virtually all Americans — Democrats, Republicans, rich, poor —benefit at roughly the same level from federal government policies that are so thoroughly woven into our society’s fabric that an aged pensioner could, without irony, bluster at a campaign rally last year: “Keep your government hands off of my Medicare!” Mettler and Sides put it nicely: “Instead of dividing us, our experiences as both makers and takers ought to bind us in a community of shared sacrifice and mutual support.” So, our rants about smaller government and lower taxes need to be tempered by three facts: First, nearly all of us, even the wealthy, benefit significantly from the redistribution of wealth that creates and supports our society and improves our private lives. Second, there’s nothing disgraceful about this. And third — I hate to say this — we are going to need more government, not less. The fact is, our economy is increasingly national and global and so are our biggest problems and challenges, like the rise of China, Muslim unrest and climate change. The idea that the United States can cope with these threats and challenges with a drastically diminished federal government is as naive and unrealistic as Gov. Rick Perry’s threat that Texas might be tempted to secede from the union. The attempt to hang a term like “redistribution” around Obama’s neck for political advantage is fraud of the first order. In fact, “redistribution” is just another way of saying “civilization.”

HEALTH & WELLNESS DASH diet provides strong foundation for healthy lifestyle I have long been a supporter of the DASH diet commissioned by The National Institutes of Health based on multiple research studies. Originally designed to lower blood pressure, the DASH diet stands for Dietary Approach to Stop Hy p e r t e n s i o n , and focuses on incorporating fruits and vegetables, lean protein, and low-fat dairy products into the diet. The DASH eating plan is Kerry Whitelock, about 1,200 caloDO, is an internal medicine physician ries a day with with a masters in each day to innutrition.

cup of leafy vegetables) ■ 2-3 servings of low-fat or fat-free dairy (a serving is 1 cup milk or yogurt or 11/2 oz. cheese) ■ 1 serving of beans, nuts, or seeds (a serving is 1/2 cup cooked beans, 1/3 cup nuts, or 2 Tbs. seeds) ■ 2 servings of lean meat, fish, or poultry (a serving is 2-3 oz. cooked) ■ 3 servings of whole grains (a serving is 1 slice bread, 1 tortilla, 1/2 bagel or bun, or 1/2 cup cooked rice or pasta) ■ 2 servings of healthy fats (a serving is 1 Tbs. olive oil, 2 Tbs. olive oil vinaigrette, 1 oz. dark chocolate, or 1/2 cup light ice cream) You can see from the food choices that this way of eating is full of protein and fiber, which can make you feel full. It is easy to stick to the correct portions by following the United States Department of Agriculture’s MyPlate program. When viewing a dinner plate, cover half of the plate with fruits and vegetables, one quarter with lean meats, and one quarter with a starch product. Take time to review product labels carefully; know not only the portion size, but also the amount of sugar,

fiber, and salt in each portion. Here are some other tips. You can use canned fruits and vegetables, as long as they are thoroughly rinsed to get rid of added salt or sugar. For those who can’t tolerate dairy products, look for soy milk or soy products. I also recommend adding a moderate amount of exercise at least five days a week such as walking, bike riding, swimming, or working out in a gym. I have seen very good results from people who make the DASH diet a part of their normal routine. Some patients have been able to help lower their blood pressure by up to 14 points. Others have greatly reduced their blood pressure medication requirement. This diet can also help reduce cholesterol levels, stabilize sugar intake, and help people lose weight. It doesn’t matter where you live or the size of your family; anyone can follow this eating plan. By incorporating the plan into your life, you can help all family members eat more healthfully and manage their weight for life.

Is whooping cough still something you should be concerned about? With the success of whooping cough vaccines, many people assume that these types of outbreaks no longer occur; however, the reality is that whooping cough is highly contagious and remains one of the most common illnesses among vaccine-preventable diseases. Both children and adults can contract the disease. Whooping cough is the layman’s term for an Craig H. Collison, infection with MD, is a pediatribacteria named cian with Mount pertussis.

whoop noise. The illness is long and protracted, often lasting between six to eight weeks, and can have serious complications, especially in young infants. Complications can include pneumonia, convulsions, brain damage from lack of oxygen and even death. To help prevent whooping cough, vaccination is vital. Vaccination against pertussis has been available for several decades now, and is the best defense available to prevent children and adults from becoming ill. The DTaP shot, which is an injection with whole-cell pertussis, is given at 2, 4, 6 and 15 months, followed by a booster shot prior to kindergarten. Until 2004, this was the extent of pertussis vaccination; however, physicians were finding that defenses against pertussis were waning in teenagers and adults, so a new tetanus booster was developed in an attempt to extend recipients’ protection. This is known as the Tdap, or by the brand name Adacel. The Tdap vaccine should be given at age 11 and then every 10 years thereafter to boost the immune system against pertussis. Since infants cannot be vaccinated until they are 2 months old, they are the population that’s most vulnerable

to pertussis. Infection in this age group can lead to hospitalization and even death in some instances. It is recommended that all adults who will have contact with an infant be vaccinated with the Tdap vaccine to ensure protection. In addition, adults with chronic coughs should stay away from infants and should consider getting tested for pertussis. All unvaccinated children and adults are at heightened risk for contracting whooping cough, as well. Adults are the most likely population to carry pertussis, so any adults with a long-standing cough should see their doctor about getting tested, both for themselves and their close contacts. To summarize my points, the populations most at risk for getting whooping cough are: 1. Infants under the age of 2 months 2. All unvaccinated children and adults 3. Preteens, teenagers and adults who have not received Tdap vaccination (Adacel) To help ward off whooping cough, make sure you and your children are up to date on the pertussis vaccination. For more information on whooping cough, talk to your physician or visit www.mountnittany.org.

AT A RECENT commencement ceremony, 122 graduates of South Hills School of Business & Technology were honored. More than 1,200 guests were in attendance to congratulate and cheer on the graduates from South Hills’ four school locations.

Senator Corman addresses South Hills graduates From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — Pennsylvania Sen. Jake Corman addressed 122 graduates and their 1,200 guests at the commencement ceremony for South Hills School of Business & Technology on Sept. 19. The event was held at the Penn Stater Conference Center, where graduates from South Hills’ four locations gathered together for the celebratory occasion. Their schools are located in Philipsburg, State College, Altoona and Lewistown. Sen. Corman from the 34th District was the keynote speaker and he encouraged the graduates. “Have goals, and live your life with purpose. Focus on being a good person, and then you will truly be happy,” he said. It was also a historic night for South Hills School as it celebrated the graduation of the first class of Medical Assistant students. The MA program was started in 2011 due to the growing demand for trained employees within the medical field. Medical Assistants serve as the liaison between the patient and physician, and are trained to work primarily in physicians’ offices where they are skilled in both clinical and administrative duties.

“Only one student entered the MA program with any prior medical background,” said Crystal Douglas, Coordinator of the new Medical Assistant program. “Our graduates all worked very hard through their two years of intensive training, so they were delighted with the diversity of clinical and administrative skills they could confidently administer at the end their studies.” Ellen Spinelli, director of Career Services at South Hills School has also been pleased with job placement for this new program. “Our medical students have always been successful in getting jobs,” Spinelli said. “The need for MA’s is obviously great because the majority of our Medical Assistants were quickly hired at their internship sites while completing their required hours.” The commencement ceremony is reflective of the caring learning environment that South Hills is known for. Philipsburg graduate and guest speaker, Jamie Russler, thanked the founders of the school, Paul and Maralyn Mazza, for creating a school that became her “extension of family.” “My education opened doors that I never could have dreamt of,” she said.

GIVING BACK

UNIVERSITY PARK — The late American novelist Ernest Hemingway has had a “tough guy” public image for many decades, but his letters are revealing a far more complex, sensitive and interesting individual. “The Letters of Ernest Hemingway, Vol. 1 1907-1922” was published by Cambridge University Press in fall 2011 to great critical acclaim and success, thanks to an international project led by Penn State’s Sandra Spanier. A new National Endowment for the Humanities grant will help support the next phase of work on his letters over the next three years. “Ernest Hemingway was a prolific letter writer, and this entire project will span 16 volumes encompassing more than 6,000 letters from 250 sources,” said Spanier, professor of English and general editor of the Hemingway Letters Project. “In contrast to the painstaking craftsmanship of his fiction, Hemingway’s letters are spontaneous, informal, and very garrulous at times. The letters give an eyewitness report of literary history was it was being made. His appeal transcends politics and national borders. He also was an astute observer of his times, so his letters as well as his published work are a narrative of the 20th century.” Headquartered at Penn State, the Hemingway Letters Project is authorized by the Ernest Hemingway Foundation and the Hemingway estate, which hold the copyrights to Hemingway’s letters. The project has been supported in part by earlier grants from NEH and the Heinz Endowments. The new grant of $225,000 will span the next three years of research. Spanier directs an international team of scholars in this effort, assisted by project center staff, graduate research assistants, and undergraduate in-

terns, all at Penn State. They are responsible for gathering, transcribing, annotating, and publishing the entirety of Hemingway’s known surviving letters worldwide, about 85 percent of them never before published. “The project has provided significant educational enrichment opportunities for more than three dozen undergraduate and a dozen graduate research assistants,” Spanier noted. “Several graduate assistants have gone on to publish scholarly articles in American literary studies, and others have presented academic papers related to Hemingway at national and international conferences. Such accomplishments enhance their ability to secure faculty teaching and research positions and boost Penn State’s international reputation for the study of American literature. “As for undergraduates, this is a unique hands-on opportunity to extend their classroom studies and be involved in helping preserve the voice of one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century,” she added. “Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for revolutionizing English prose style. But he also is unique among literary figures in the magnitude of his popularity — even celebrity — outside academe.” Volume 2, spanning 1923-1925, will reveal new details about Hemingway’s developing relationships with other expatriate writers and artists in Paris such as Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. His letters of this time capture his first impressions of Spain, with its fiestas and bullfights, and trace the creation of his early short stories and first major novel, “The Sun Also Rises.” Spanier is a faculty member in the College of the Liberal Arts and a faculty associate in the Center for American Literary Studies.

Penns Valley celebrates homecoming By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — The citizens of Penns Valley honored a great tradition by celebrating the high school football team’s homecoming. The parade was held on Sept. 27 at the Grange Fairgrounds in Centre Hall. It began near the Homan Lane entrance, and traveled across the fairgrounds to the grandstand, which was filled with spectators eagerly awaiting its arrival in spite of pouring rain. The parade’s theme was “Disney,” and many favorite Walt Disney Studios cartoon and movie characters were represented, including Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Snow White (complete with more than seven dwarfs),

Cinderella, Rapunzel, Peter Pan and many others. Grand Marshall of the parade was John McClellan, a 2004 Penns Valley graduate. McClellan is a filmmaker, and has worked with several major motion picture studios. He is also a graduate of Penn State University. The parade featured floats representing local civic groups, as well as athletic teams in the Penns Valley district. The Penns Valley Class of 1962 entered a float as part of the 50th class reunion celebration. “We are PV,” they cheered as they rode through the grandstand to cheers and applause from the spectators. Prizes were awarded to floats in several classes. The winners were: Elementary Division: Miles

Township (Rebersburg); Elementary School Middle Level Division: Penns Valley High School 7-8 grade; Community Organization Division: Progress Grange (Centre Hall); High School Organization Division: Penns Valley girls’ volleyball team. The parade was enjoyed by a large crowd of onlookers, who also kept the various food stands near the grandstand busy serving up hot food and drinks on a damp autumn night. A pep rally was held in the grandstand following the parade. The Penns Valley Band warmed up the crowd and then emcee Scott Geesey announced the parade float winners. Next, the homecoming queen contestants

were introduced and applauded by the crowd. Finally, football coach Martin Tobias took the stage and thanked everyone for their support of the Rams team, and then he called the senior members of the team onstage to be recognized for their years of service to the team. The homecoming football game was played on Friday night at the Penns Valley stadium. The Penns Valley band took the field for a pre-game show, along with an alumni band. The bands featured three generations of the Runkle family: Tom Runkle (Class of 1962) on trumpet, his daughter, Teresa Hockenberry (Class of 1986) on saxaphone, and Runkle’s granddaughter, Anna McFeely, on trumpet in the Penns Valley High School band.

Curtin UMC to celebrate anniversary From Gazette staff reports HOWARD — The Curtin United Methodist Church is celebrating its 225th anniversary with a special service at 6 p.m. on Oct. 7. The church is located three miles north of Milesburg, near the historic Curtin Village and Iron furnace. Light refreshments will be served and commemorative T-shirts will be available. Curtin Church was founded by Philip and Susannah Antes in a log cabin that Philip erected. When the cabin was under roof, the Antes’ gathered their neighbors together for worship, a congregation of six members. That was in July of 1787. Since then, continuous services have been held. The early church was serviced by circuit rider preachers who came every two weeks, riding through heat and cold, rain and snow, dusty drought and muddy paths. William Colbert was one the earliest preachers, appointed in 1792. He kept a journal in which he recorded that at Philip Antes’ home, he had a room to himself, the only time ever on the circuit in which he had that luxury. Services were held in Antes’ cabin until, in 1804, the first log church was begun on land donated by Philip Antes Sr. It was dedicated in 1805 as Bald Eagle Chapel and was used for about a year with no doors or windows. Christopher Fry was the first to have the honor of preaching in the log cabin. There are records to show that members of the church donated window panes, monies and bushels of wheat to pay for the improvements. On Sept. 9, 1805, a collection of $5.93 was given at the Quatermeeting at Bald Eagle Chapel, to pay for window panes. Many of the church’s windows

At halftime of the football game with Huntingdon, the homecoming queen candidates were escorted past the home stands, and took their places in front of the traditional blue and white balloons. The second runner-up was Anissa Yeckin. First runner-up was Elizabeth Shutt and the 2012 Penns Valley homecoming queen was Carolyn Darr, daughter of Allan and Laura Darr of Centre Hall. Cheers, tears and hugs accompanied the queen’s crowning. It was a proud moment for the young ladies and their families and friends. But more than just pride, it was the culmination of a great tradition which is observed on football fields all across the land on autumn nights.

Sign in Unionville keeps tabs on speed From Gazette staff reports UNIONVILLE — Motorists traveling along state Route 3040 (Alternate 220) in Unionville Borough, Centre County, will be reminded of one of the most common types of aggressive driving behavior — speeding. PennDOT recently placed a radar-controlled speed display sign in a 35-mile-per-hour zone along northbound Route 3040. The speed display sign uses radar to determine the speeds of oncoming traffic. Vehicle speeds are then posted on the lighted section of the sign. The speed display sign will remain on location for up to four weeks. Speeding and other aggressive driving behaviors are among the leading causes of crashes and fatalities in Pennsylvania. Other aggressive driving behaviors include running stop signs or red lights, passing illegally and tailgating.

CURTIN UMC will celebrate its 225th anniversary on Oct. 7. still have the original panes as seen in the bubbles and waves in the glass. One Sunday in 1810, Jacob Banghart, a junior preacher on the circuit, was stricken and later died in the Antes’ home. His body was the first buried in the church cemetery. In 1963, the basement was added to the present church which provided a Sunday school room and a kitchen. Members painted the church white in 1966 and 1974. The interior was painted in 1968, over seven layers of wall paper. Storm windows and electric heat were installed in 1971. Since 1996, a parking lot has been installed. The church’s interior was refurbished and displays on front and back walls were added. Another building was purchased for additional Sunday school space. In the last several

years a new outdoor sign and bulletin board have been added. A new air conditioning system has been installed as well. The church is now handicap accessible. Along with Sunday services and special services for Easter and Christmas, the church’s activities also include an annual yard and bake sale, a coat swap/exchange, vacation Bible school, monthly free movie nights with free home baked cookies, popcorn and soda, an annual hay ride, Christmas caroling, a weekly prayer and healing service, family nights and Sunday school classes. Sunday’s services begin at 9 a.m. and Sunday school takes place following services. For more information, contact Marty Lucas at (814) 355-7970 or Diane Grieb at (814) 353-0310.

My very first Swiss I can’t say that I’ve been showing since I could walk like some people, although that would be an ideal statement. Instead, all I can say is that I’ve been showing for a year and have adored every single second of it. Thanks to Rob and June Kocher and family who own a farm down the road, I received my very first show calf, a brown swiss dripping in blubber. Her name is Butterscotch and she is my pride and joy. The show season is now complete for us as we recently returned home from the AllTerren Lesher is a student at State American show College Area High in Harrisburg. I School. She serves was incredibly as one of Centre proud of the County’s dairy 10th-place ribprincesses. bon I was handed in the show ring, not only because that was out of the nation, but because of the progress she and I have made in our first year of showing. I spent hours every day walking, washing and leading her to prepare us for all the shows that we could experience, traveling from county fairs

TERREN LESHER spent the summer traveling with her show calf, Butterscotch. to district shows. Butterscotch is a spring calf, born March 1 and is more like a puppy than a calf. She trots like a gelding, jumps like a deer, is as stubborn as a mule and loves getting her neck scratched like an old itchy dog. Very specific feed routines were set into place so she would be the perfect combination of fit and lean. She was clipped almost every week and at shows washed every morning, sprayed and polished. She is a naturally favorable calf

with a beautiful walk, deep stomach and sharp pin bones. At county fairs, she won us grand champion in both junior and open shows, including districts. Butterscotch has a charisma nobody can resist. Next spring, I plan on running for Pennsylvania’s Miss Swiss for the opportunity to represent this beautiful breed of dairy cattle. Showing will now always be an intricate part of my life and I look forward to all that’s in store for the future of showing dairy cows.

HARRISBURG — With fall’s arrival, PennDOT is reminding motorists be alert for seasonal travel hazards. Sun glare can affect morning and evening commutes as sunrise and sunset coincide with rush-hour traffic. As intense sun glare can affect a driver’s vision, motorists can prepare by keeping a pair of sunglasses within reach, removing items from vehicle sun visors and by keeping vehicle windshields clean. As overnight temperatures approach freezing, motorists should watch for frost and icy spots, especially on bridges, overpasses and shaded areas on roadways. Drivers should also be certain that their vehicles’ windows are clear of frost before driving. Wet leaves are extremely slippery and can obscure traffic lines and pavement markings. Drivers can help reduce their risk of a crash by slowing down and using extra caution on leaf-covered roadways, especially on narrow or winding roads. PennDOT offers these additional fall driving tips: ■ Check your vehicle’s headlights, taillights and turn signals to ensure they are working properly, since darkness will be part of many drivers’ morning and evening commutes. ■ Have your vehicle’s heating and wiper systems checked to ensure they are working properly. Pennsylvania law requires you to turn on your headlights if your wipers are in use. ■ Be sure you have tires with sufficient tread depth in case of an early season snowfall. ■ Watch for students walking or waiting for their buses along your commute route. Visit www.511pa.com or call 511 from any phone to check traffic conditions before heading out. PennDOT urges motorists to avoid calling 511PA while driving.

Fresh Life: Fall brings Oktoberfest celebrations home In honor of the great Oktoberfest celebrations of Germany, many, including my husband and I, create similar celebrations at their homes. We will hold the celebration in mid October and the party will include Germanstyle fare, games, song and dance, and of course, beer, some of which was handcrafted by friends. The original Oktoberfest was held in the year 1810 in honor of the Bavarian Crown Prince’s marriage to his new princess. The festivities originally began on Oct. 12, 1810, and ended on Oct. 17 with a horse Amy Debach-Conrace. After years of celfer has a degree in ebrating in mid-Octovisual arts/photogber, the celebrations raphy and training were moved to start at as a wilderness EMT and beekeeper. the end of September and proceed into OcShe can be reached tober to allow for betat amosd14@ ter weather condiyahoo.com tions. Because the September nights were warmer, the visitors were able to enjoy the gardens outside the tents and the stroll over die Wiesen or the fields much longer without feeling chilly. While the authentic Oktoberfest is a large and well-attended event, our celebration will be a small affair with good friends, family, and local products. These products will include Amish whoopie pies, local meats and vegetables to create the authentic fare, and a small batch of Oktoberfest home brew made proudly by two local friends, Adam Weis, an engineer from Boalsburg and Ben Evans, an athletic trainer, also from Boalsburg. While micro-brewing at local facilities including Otto’s in State College, Elk Creek Cafe in Spring Mills, Troegs in Harrisburg, and Bullfrog Brewery in Williamsport is artistic and often profitable process, the art of making

a batch of craft beer at home is a strict but rewarding process and according to Weis. “The change of seasons brings about new trends in outdoor seasonal hobbies. Home brewing is becoming a global trend and what better way to make what you’re looking for than to make your own,� he said. By creating a batch of beer on the back porch, the pair is able to take their love of craft brews to the comforts of the home. There are hundreds of variations of beer and even more variables when it comes to the process of creating specific types. Beer kits allow individuals interested in home brewing, the chance to create a specific type of beer with guidelines. Weis received his first kit as a gift from his brother but has since purchased kits from Ace Hardware near Zion which sells wine and beer making supplies and offers classes on both. “Even with a kit we are able to tweak the recipe enough to make a custom flavor,� Weis said. Weis and Evans are new to the science of home brewing but both have created previous batches which they enjoyed. Weis has experimented with making an amber ale, Irish stout, rye ale, and recently the Oktoberfest. While Evan has helped with three batches including chocolate stout, Oktoberfest, and Irish stout but the process of crafting the imperial ale, which is pictured, is his maiden voyage making his own. When I arrived to watch the imperial ale being made, there was a turkey fryer on the back porch, which is where the hops, malt and other ingredients for the batches would be boiled. Weis explained that the last thing he wanted to do was stand around a hot pot of boiling inside or in the summer, which is why he completes the boiling process toward fall and outside where the great outdoors can be enjoyed. According to Evans, his favorite part of craft brewing is the boiling process. “The aromas are outstanding,� he said. Weis enjoys the more technical aspect. “Beer making makes science fun. I love the process and chemistry behind it and the specifically precise times and tempera-

Weis and Evans enjoy the process, science and art of home brewing and have a few friends who do as well. Weis has clever ideas for bottle labels if he ever brews a large enough batch to have the honor of receiving its own label. The pair will wait several weeks before tasting the beer to allow for proper carbonation production and conditioning. If you are interested in creating your own home brew, there are many online and local resources for information. The Oktoberfest beer that Evans and Weis created will be sampled and critiqued and just as at the authentic Oktoberfest celebration in Germany, will be much enjoyed at our fall celebration.

Sonny, a middle-aged Pomeranian female, is on the hunt for a very special, loving and dedicated parent. The happiest and mosteasy-to-care-for dog in the world when alone with the people she trusts, Sonny becomes protective of her handler when other people are around and has a history of snapping in these situations. This behavior is the result of years of protective guarding being positively reinforced in her previous home. While she has responded well to training to correct this behavior at PAWS, this training can continue — for free — after Sonny is adopted. Sonny is looking for a home without children and preferably no other pets. If you sound like the perfect fit for Sonny, you can read more about her at http://www.centrecountypaws.org/ dogs/ or stop by PAWS, 1401 Trout Road to arrange a meet and greet. As a gift to her future family, Sonny’s Guardian Angel has generously paid her adoption fee.

STATEMENT

MAKING A Behind Mauti, Nittany Lions maul Illini in Big Ten opener By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

There is no clearer indication of the attitude that the Penn State players brought into the game at Illinois on Saturday than the final play of the game. With five seconds left to play, the Illini lined up from the 1-yard line looking to score a meaningless touchdown that would make the final score a bit closer at 35-14. Penn State would have none of it; the Nittany Lions’ D-line stuffed Illinois running back Donovonn Young for no gain as the clock ran out. No touchdown for Illinois, and the Lions walked off the field with a satisfying win in their first Big Ten outing of the season — with the score still 35-7. For those wondering what kind of identity this Penn State team has taken on, perhaps that play says it all right there. In the last three games, Penn State has played, well, Penn State defense. The Lions have been relentless, swarming to the ball and making sure tackles. They give up nothing easy — the offenses have to earn everything they get. They force turnovers, three more against Illinois, all thanks to the efforts of linebacker Mike Mauti. And they play hard, from the opening kickoff through to the last play. Bill O’Brien might change some traditions in Happy Valley, but the goal and the tradition of fielding a hard-nosed defense is not one of them. “I think defensively we played, for the most part, an excellent football game,” O’Brien said after Saturday’s game. “We created turnovers again. Michael Mauti had two interceptions. We rushed the passer. We let him (Illini quarterback Nathan

Scheelhaase) out a few times. He’s an athletic kid and he did a nice job, but overall we played well.” Add to that a newly healthy running game that racked up 173 yards on 52 carries along with the continuing solid play from Matt McGloin and the passing attack, it is no surprise that the Nittany Lions began their Big Ten season with a 28-point win. Even so, O’Brien and the Lions want more. “I think offensively, again, we left a lot of points off the board,” O’Brien said. “I thought we ran the ball well, we played physical, but I think we’ve got a lot of improving to do and I really want the kids to understand that.” “It was a rough start early on,” McGloin added, “couldn’t get too much going. But at that point, we just wanted the game to come to us, and we did a good job of that. But 35 points isn’t enough for us. We should be putting up a lot more than that.” Penn State did leave some points off the board, but the ones it put on came at opportune times. After being stopped on its first drive, the Lions took immediate advantage of a muffed punt return that they recovered to take a 7-0 lead just over four minutes into the game. Zach Zwinak, who rushed for 100 yards on 19 carries and became Penn State’s first triple-digit runner this season, did the honors from one yard out. Four minutes later, after stopping Illinois and marching to the Illini 1-yard line, McGloin put PSU ahead 14-0 with the first of his two one-yard touchdown runs.

PENN STATE quarterback Matt McGloin had another big afternoon against Illinois in the Nittany Lions' 35-7 win on Saturday.

30-yard line in the first half and not allowing the Illini to convert a third down, the Lions struck again. This time it was a perfect 21-yard pass to junior tight end Matt Lehman that gave them a 21-0 lead with three minutes remaining in the half. With its back to the wall, Illinois subse-

quently put together its best drive of the game. After the PSU kickoff, the Illini drove to the Penn State 7-yard line where they faced a fourth-and-goal with time running out.

Penn State enjoys ‘sweet’ victory over Illinois By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — After a stinging blowout loss to Louisiana Tech, Tim Beckman spent the week talking about the fresh start the Illini’s Big Ten opener could provide. The goal, he said, was to make the Big Ten title game, and a win over Penn State would have the Illini on the right track. After Saturday ended in another blowout, a 35-7 loss to the Nittany Lions (32), some players sounded as if the Illini (2-3) are headed anywhere but the right direction. “We just need to come together as a senior staff and just redevelop this team,” defensive tackle Glenn Foster said. Disappointment, Beckman added, does-

n’t fully explain how the team felt Saturday afternoon. “Disappointed is the least word, I guess you could say,” Beckman said. “I know our football team is hurting and, as we spoke to them in the locker room, it’s time to step up and see what this football team is all about and move forward.” Illinois’ biggest headache Saturday was linebacker Michael Mauti. When Illinois coaches were criticized for setting up shop near Penn State’s campus last summer to see if any Nittany Lions were interested in transferring after NCAA sanctions were imposed, Mauti was their most vocal critic. After his six tackles and two gamechanging interceptions Saturday, he said he hadn’t yet put those bad feelings behind him. “It was sweet, that’s what it was,” Mauti

said. “We haven’t forgotten about what happened in the summer. Yeah, to be honest with you we had that in the back of our minds and that kept us going. I mean, it’s all about opening up the conference strong and keeping things going.” Quarterback Matt McGloin was a problem for the Illini, too. He threw for 211 yards and a touchdown and ran for two more scores. Running back Zach Zwinak had 101 yards and two touchdowns. Illinois had three turnovers in all, and eight costly penalties. “We can’t turn the football over and we’ve got to move the football better,” Beckman said. “And we’ve got to tackle and do the things we feel are necessary for us to be successful, and we’re just not getting those done the last two weeks.” Mauti’s second interception came near

midfield late in the third quarter as Illini quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase tried to rally the Illini. Mauti’s pick instead set up a 1-yard touchdown run by Zwinak with 14:03 left in the game that sealed the win. The Nittany Lions must still be wondering how they didn’t turn the senior linebacker’s first interception into points. With just seconds left in the half. Illinois was desperately trying to put its first points on the scoreboard, and was in position to do it with a fourth-and-goal from the Penn State 7. Quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase saw receiver Ryan Lankford crossing the field at the goal line but Mauti stepped in front of the pass, picking it off and charging to his left and the home sideline.

The good, the bad and the ugly THE GOOD:

■ For the third game in the last four, Penn State did not have a turnover, and in that span of games, the Nittany Lions have 11 takeaways. The only turnover was an interception of a tipped pass against Temple. That gives Penn State a score of plus-10 in four games, which is a credit to both the offense and defense. ■ The NCAA doesn’t keep this stat, but Penn State gained an awful lot of yards — who knows how many, maybe half — after the runners were initially hit. The Lions refused to go down, many times fighting for three, four, or even five extra yards. Tackling Zach Zwinak is like trying to stop a 230-pound, run-away boulder. ■ Penn State’s hurry-up offense gave the Illini defense fits. Illinois could not get its defensive subs into the game on time, and many times the defenders were still trying to get into position when the Penn State running backs were already attacking them. ■ Michael Mauti intercepted a pass on his own goal line, denying Illinois a touchdown, and returned it 99 yards down the left sideline…(see “The Bad” section for the end of this story).

the left sideline with an interception but was tripped up just short of the goal line, hitting his knee on the ground just before the ball crossed the plane. Penn State then lined up, with one second left on the clock, for a field goal that was subsequently blocked. Mauti said later that going 99 yards without a touchdown is going to haunt his dreams. ■ The feelings between these two teams can be described as icy, maybe closer to frigid — and that is a generous description. The recruiting stories have been reported many times already, so suffice it to say that Penn State was very happy for this victory.

THE UGLY:

■ The helmet to helmet hits in this game, especially the one to Penn State tight end Matt Lehman — after he was already in the end zone. No place for that stuff anywhere in sports, and the NCAA is right to take stern action against the violators. Even the most modern helmets provide surprisingly little protection against such hits, and teams at every level are becoming more and more aware of the dangers of concussions.

THE BAD:

■ Michael Mauti ran 99 yards down

Big Ten, from page 15 Under pressure, Scheelhaase threw over the middle looking for Miles Osei, but Mauti stepped in front and intercepted the pass. Mauti took off down the left sideline, following a line of blockers, and weaved his way 99 yards to the Illini one, where Osei was able to trip him up just short of the goal line with one second remaining in the half. Sam Ficken’s field goal attempt from there was blocked, and the Lions had to settle for a 21-0 hafltime lead. Still, this season Penn State has outscored its opponents 49-0 in the first quarter and 76-9 in the first half. “Yeah, 99 yards without a touchdown,” Mauti said about his interception and run, “that one’s going to hurt. That’s going to haunt my

dreams, especially since we didn’t get any points out of it.” Illinois resorted to some luck and trickery to draw within 14 points in the third quarter. After Penn State held the Illini on the first series of the half, the Illini punt that looked like it would surely bound into the endzone for a touchback, suddenly turned left and was downed on the 1-yard line. Penn State was held and quickly punted the ball back to Illinois. The Illini moved to the PSU 22 where Scheelhaase threw a lateral pass to running back Josh Ferguson who, in turn, threw an arching pass to a wide-open Spencer Harris in the end zone for a touchdown. Penn State didn’t rattle, however, and promptly drove twice and tacked on two scores — 1-yard runs by Mc-

Gloin and Zwinak — that essentially put the game out of reach for Illinois. “It’s a Big Ten win,” O’Brien said, “so it’s a really big win for us to get off on the right foot in the Big Ten. These games are not easy. This conference is tough, so anytime you can get off on the right foot in the Big Ten that’s a big deal.” Penn State now looks ahead to homecoming and undefeated Northwestern (5-0). The Wildcats bring in a potent offense and a resume that includes 704 total yards in their Big Ten victory over Indiana. O’Brien is understandably wary. “Overall, a good effort,” he said, “but we still have a really good Northwestern team coming in so we’re going to have to play a lot better than we did today to win that game.”

Mauti, from page 15 Mauti followed his blockers, running through traffic deep into Illini territory. But he was also running out of gas with Illinois’ Miles Osei on his tail. Osei, the officials ruled after reviewing the play, got just enough of Mauti to force one of his knees to the turf before the linebacker fell across the goal line. But the review also showed one second left on the clock. Sam Ficken lined up for a chip-shot field goal that Illinois’ V’Angelo Bentley blocked, keeping the game at 21-0 at the half. “Ninety-nine yards without a touchdown — that one’s gonna hurt,” Mauti said. “That’s gonna haunt my dreams.” Illinois finally found the scoreboard early in the third quarter. Running back Josh Ferguson took the ball from Scheelhaase and threw 22 yards to wide receiver Spencer Harris in the Nittany Lion end zone to cut the gap to 21-7. Scheelhaase finished with 270 passing yards, going 28 of 46. Lankford had seven catches for a game-high 104 yards. He said Illinois has to put Saturday’s loss behind it. “We didn’t play the way we wanted to, but there’s still a lot of football left and the damage that’s been done isn’t season-ending at all,” Scheelhaase said. The hard feelings between the teams were sometimes clear. Players exchanged words as they crossed paths on the way to the locker rooms at halftime and had to be separated by officials and staff members from each team. And Illinois safety Earnest Thomas was ejected from the game after a hard helmet-to-helmet hit on Matt Lehman in the end zone as the tight end caught a second-quarter touchdown. Penn State staff led the groggy Lehman off the field but he returned and finished with five catches for 70 yards. “You know, that might have been the birth of a rivalry,” Penn State defensive tackle Jordan Hill said.

Breaking through Penns Valley belts Huntingdon to notch its first win of the season By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — The Penns Valley Rams can be forgiven for celebrating into the night following Friday night’s breakthrough 42-21 win over Huntingdon. After four weeks of frustration and losses, including one that went to the final play of the game against BEA, the Rams stormed past the 0-5 Wildcats to a 28-6 halftime lead and then cruised home for their first victory of the season. Quarterback Cam Tobias led the Rams with a career day under center. Tobias completed 22 of 27 passes for 240 yards and a touchdown, mostly to receivers Taylor Collison and Luke Weaver. Tobias also rushed 10 times for 40 yards in a game that was not only Penns Valley’s first win of 2012, but its first win ever against Huntingdon. So the party was on in the PV locker room, as loud and raucous as if it were a championship, as the Rams shook off four weeks of disappointment in one long outburst. “We told the kids that they were ready to win a football game,” Penns Valley coach Martin Tobias said, “when they did all of the little thing that we’ve been working on. And even if we didn’t do all of them tonight, they did more than they had been doing. “We talked about executing. We made some mistakes, but we overcame those mistakes, riding out the highs and the lows. I’m really proud of them.” The game started out looking like anything but a one-sided

Penns Valley win. Huntingdon took the opening kickoff and marched 53 yards in only four plays for a touchdown. Quarterback Josh Foster hit Devon Claar with a five-yard flat pass, and Claar took it in for a 6-0 Wildcat lead (the point after was missed). Tobias and the Rams came right back, however, driving 75 yards in 8 plays with Weaver taking it in on a five-yard run. The big plays on the drive were 25 and 29-yard passes to Weaver, and when Andrew Deardorff kicked the extra point, it gave Penns Valley its first lead this season and one that it would not relinquish against Huntingdon. “To be able to respond,” coach Tobias said, “after they took it down the field and scored, what, in three plays or something like that. It was real important to answer. That was a big help, a big boost for the kids.” That boost then led to three unanswered scores by the Rams. Three minutes after Weaver’s score, Dom Hook, who rushed eight times for 55 yards and two TDs in the game, took it in from the five and a 14-6 lead. Running back Cole Confer was next, scoring on a seven-yard run at the 10:39 mark in the second quarter making it 21-6. And then, after a beautiful late-first half, 77-yard drive, Sam Kosar scored on a five-yard pass from Cam Tobias that gave the Rams a 28-6 lead at the break. “Early we were trying to take advantage of what presented itself,” Martin Tobias said about his offense. “There were a couple of things we wanted to see, and as soon as we saw the coverages

We weren’t sure exactly what we would get, at first, but we had a couple things ready to go. “I feel really good about our kids running their routs and catching the football and they’ve continued to improve as the season’s gone on here.” Huntingdon quieted the Penns Valley crowd temporarily

early in the third quarter after a score following a PV fumble. Foster scored from the eight after a short, 30-yard drive that inched the Wildcats to within 28-13. But Penns Valley’s offense responded again, this time with a 70-yard drive that was capped with a one-yard plunge by Hook. That score made it 35-13, and then another in the mid-fourth quarter put the game out of reach at 42-13.

“It’s an exciting win for these guys,” Martin Tobias said, “and that’s why we coach the game, to give them opportunities to experience a thrill like this. Homecoming, that’s big. They can go ahead and celebrate and enjoy the weekend and all the festivities. “Hopefully, we’ll continue to build and give them more encouragement to come back next week and continue improving.”

Tobias and Weaver team up to KO Bearcats By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — When Huntingdon took the opening kickoff and easily drove in four plays for a touchdown on Friday night, Penns Valley needed to react. The Rams, 0-4 at this point, had fallen into deep holes three times this season from which they could not recover. A good start was imperative against Huntingdon if PV was finally going to snap its losing streak. Fortunately, the Rams had a plan, and quarterback Cam Tobias and receiver Luke Weaver began to put it into action immediately after the kickoff. Mixing in runs with slant and crossing patterns to Weaver and Taylor Collison, the Rams steadily marched 75 yards and scored on a one-

yard Weaver run to tie the game. Weaver broke two big gainers in the drive — catches of 25 and 29 yards — to go with his TD run and was instrumental in kickstarting the PV offense. After Weaver’s touchdown and the extra point, the Rams had their first lead in a game this season. More importantly, they had emphatically answered the call. “I knew that looking at the film,” Tobias said, “that they would be in a spread defense because we were in our spread offense. I knew the slants would be there, and they had their best corner on the wide receiver I went to all last week, so they put their worst defender on Luke (Weaver). I saw that he was going to get open so we just called slants and hitches and he was there.” The score seemed to instill the

Rams, and along with some gritty defensive stops, they followed with a flurry of touchdowns that swamped the Wildcats. “They have two good corners,” Weaver said, “and Cameron, he’ll find me no matter what. I just ran my routes precise and he found me. “With Sam (Snyder) last year, he (Cameron) didn’t get many snaps to get comfortable in the offense. But this year, he is doing really well.” Tobias finished the game going 22-27 for 240 yards and a touchdown, his best day ever. Weaver posted five catches for 81 yards and Collison had nine for 87 yards. In all, Tobias completed throws to seven different receivers. “I was focused on the game, and doing my job,” Tobias said, “which was to do what I was sup-

posed to do and move my team down the field and score. “I have been feeling more comfortable. My line has been working hard blocking, and I’ve been making the right calls and we’re getting it done and picking the open guy.” Penns Valley now moves on to the second half of the season with and improving quarterback who has multiple targets to throw to and a running game that put up 168 yards against Huntingdon. Tyrone and Bellefonte, however, are looming in the future for the Rams, and Philipsburg-Osceola is at hand on Friday night. Yet, both Tobias and Weaver are looking ahead with a renewed sense of anticipation and optimism. “I mean, first victory against Huntingdon in history,” Weaver said, “it doesn’t get better than

that. We’re satisfied, but we want more, and we’re going to get more. “I think we are going to go on a streak here. Overall, we are getting so much better as a team.” “Everybody’s excited,” Tobias added. “We are going to have fun. We are going to come back and practice hard and get ready for PO and we are going to enjoy it while we can. “This is a big step. We have some things to work on, but we did really well at the things we haven’t done. And it’s big, and we have to be ready to come back and keep fighting every week and we’ll be good.” Tobias, Weaver, and the rest of the Rams will tee it up at 7 p.m. at Philipsburg-Osceola on Friday in a game that you can be sure the Mounties have circled on their calendar.

BEA, Bellefonte, P-O and State College lose in week 5 From Gazette staff reports A closer look at last week’s high school football games: ■ Central 34, Bald Eagle Area 0: Bald Eagle Area’s unbeaten streak came to a grinding halt on Friday night in Roaring Spring. The Bald Eagles couldn’t find the end zone. In fact, BEA (4-1) had a hard time getting its offense in gear. Dakota Bartley and Dion Barnard combined for just 52 yards on 12 carries in the contest.

Meanwhile, Central’s Austin Cunningham and Bradi Moore accounted for nearly 400 yards of total offense as the Scarlet Dragons rolled to the easy win. Central is now 5-0. ■ Tyrone 48, Bellefonte 10: The Red Raiders held a 10-6 halftime advantage, but things fell apart in the second half as the Golden Eagles scored 42 unanswered points. Tyrone had four interceptions in the game and returned two for touchdowns. Tyrone blew the game open

with three scores in the fourth quarter. Bellefonte is now 2-3. ■ Chestnut Ridge 34, P-O 7: The Mounties remained winless, falling to Chestnut Ridge in its homecoming game. The Lions used back-to-back scoring drives in the first quarter to grab a 13-0 lead. Jacob Mock led the charge for Chestnut Ridge, carrying 15 times for 89 yards. His secondquarter scores came from 9 and 1 yard out. The Mounties (0-5) play host

to Penns Valley this week. ■ Central Dauphin 32, State College 7: The State College High School football team couldn’t stop Central Dauphin running back Drew Scales on Friday night, falling 32-7 on the road. Scales carried the defending Class AAAA state champions on his back, with 23 carries for 189 yards and four touchdowns. He scored on touchdown runs of 9, 91, 3 and 1 yards for the Rams (4-1), who led 16-0 at halftime. State College, which fell to 3-2

following its second consecutive loss, was able to pull within 15 in the second half following a 20yard strike from Patrick Irwin to Dan Fry that made it 22-7. The Rams responded, extending their lead to 25-7 following a Casey Hartzell 37-yard field goal that sealed any comeback bid early in the fourth quarter. The Little Lions will return home Friday to take on Chambersburg. (StateCollege.com contributed to this report).

THE CENTRE COUNTY GAZETTE

OCTOBER 4-10, 2012

Mid-season grades: Area teams faring well The high school football season has reached its midpoint, and now might be a good time to take a look at what’s going on with the local teams. Bellefonte has fielded a much better and more competitive team for sure than its 2011 version. The Raiders began the season 2-1 after lopsided wins over Huntingdon and Philipsburg-Osceola, but they have now dropped their last two games, to Central Mountain and Tyrone. In both of those losses, Bellefonte was firmly in the game going into the locker room at Pat Rothdeutsch covers high school halftime, and in both, sports for The Centhe third quarter tre County Gazette. proved to be the He can be reached Raiders’ undoing. at sports@centre Against Central countygazette.com Mountain, the halftime score was 17-14 in favor of Central Mountain, but Von Walker began to really heat up after the break and the Wildcats scored three touchdowns in the third quarter to break the game open. Central Mountain went on to win 50-14. In the Tyrone game, Bellefonte was ahead 10-6 at halftime, and almost the same thing happened. Tyrone scored three touchdowns in the third quarter and cruised home from there with a 48-10 win. Bellefonte coach Duffy Besch said that

PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

his team has shown it can compete, but it has to finish games and stay competitive for the whole 48 minutes. Now would be a good time for the Raiders to begin doing that because the second-half schedule is a daunting one. Next up is undefeated Clearfield and multi-purpose threat Christian Lezzer. After that the Raiders travel to improving Penns Valley for a neighborhood get together, and then home dates with 4-1 Central and 4-1 Bald Eagle Area. The season finishes on Nov. 2 at St. Mary’s. There are wins there, especially if Bellefonte can somehow get its offense moving after halftime and get its defense off the field. State College coach Al Wolski says that the Little Lions don’t duck anybody, and that is certainly true again in 2012. State College began the season 3-0 with three good wins over Liberty, Central Mountain, and Father Judge, but it has also dropped its last two games. Those two losses came against quality teams — offensively potent Harrisburg High and defending state AAAA champion Central Dauphin. The Little Lions have moved the ball with Darian Herncane, Andrew Kelly, Chris Theis, and Pat Irwin leading the way. They had 247 yards of offense against Central Dauphin, but they were victimized by Central Dauphin’s Drew Scales, who ran 23 times for 189 yards and four touchdowns. This week for State College is a visit from 4-1 Chambersburg, then trips to Central Dauphin East and Carlisle before com-

ing home to face Mifflin County and Cumberland Valley to end the season. If the Little Lions can negotiate that schedule successfully, they will be, as usual, battle-tested and ready for whatever the post season offers. Penns Valley got its first win of the season on Friday night against Huntingdon, a 42-21 Homecoming victory in front of a large crowd. It is true that everyone has beaten Huntingdon this season, but the Rams showed some definite signs of improvement in that game, especially in the passing game led by quarterback Cameron Tobias and his receivers. It wouldn’t be wise for teams to overlook PV because they do not look like an easy out. Stay tuned this week and next as the Rams take on Philipsburg and Bellefonte. We’ll know a lot more after those two games. Conversely, Philipsburg-Osceola has not gotten a win yet, and that visit by Penns Valley this weekend has to be important for the Mounties. Both of these teams have been bitten by the turnover bug at times this season, but PV seems to be holding on to the ball much better of late. P-O, no so much yet. But if the Mounties begin to get healthy and do not turn the ball over, this game will most likely be decided late in the fourth quarter. Bald Eagle Area also lost this past weekend to Central and fell to 4-1 on the season. The Eagles could not get anything going in that game, falling behind by 21 at halftime and finally losing 34-0. The Eagles managed only 132 yards of offense against the

tough Dragon defense, and they will have to regroup quickly with Tyrone coming to town on Friday night. Clearfield and a rematch with Bellefonte are also in the future for BEA while the games take on more and more importance as the playoffs come into view.

TOP INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCES SO FAR: Rushing — BEA senior Dion Barnard’s 193 yards and two touchdowns on 27 carries in the Eagles’ 21-20 win over Penns Valley.

Receiving — Bellefonte’s Nick Leiter grabbed eight passes for 129 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders’ 42-7 win over PO.

LEADERS AFTER FIVE GAMES: Rushing — 1. Dion Barnard, BEA, 449 yards on 55 carries. 2. NuNu Buey, Bellefonte, 362 yards on 43 carries. 3. Nick Gray, P-O, 328 yards on 70 carries. Passing — 1.

Penns Valley visits P-O in highlight of week 6 games By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

A closer look at Week 6 on the high school gridiron:

PENNS VALLEY (1-4) AT P’BURG-OSCEOLA (0-5) PHILIPSBURG — Penns Valley will visit PhilipsburgOsceola on Friday night in a game that is very meaningful to both teams, despite their combined 1-9 records. Penns Valley is coming off a 41-21 victory over Huntingdon, and the Rams would like nothing better than to add another win and another shot of momentum to their season. P-O, on the other hand, is eyeing a legitimate chance to get its first win of this season and successfully start off the second half of the 2012 campaign. Either way, the game looks to be close. The Rams have developed a solid passing game with junior quarterback Cam Tobias throwing to Luke Weaver, Ian Brown, and Taylor Collison out of the backfield. Collison and Dom Hook handle most of the rushing duties for PV, which managed 168 yards on the ground against Huntingdon. The Mounties rely on a power running game led by Nick Gray, who is one of the top rushers in the county. Gray is helped in the backfield by senior Erik Smith and sophomore Kyle Hawkins, while quarterback Caleb Pepperday, who is not asked to pass often, can also be a threat to run. The wild card in this game is turnovers. Both teams have had problems in this area this season, and the team that has the fewer mistakes will probably emerge as the winner.

CHAMBERSBURG (3-2) AT STATE COLLEGE (3-2) STATE COLLEGE — State College and Chambersburg are in precisely the same position going into Friday night’s game at State College. Both teams started off with 3-0 records, and both teams have now lost their last two games and both are 0-2 in the Mid Penn Conference. Chambersburg started with wins over GreencastleAntrim, Waynesboro and Gettysburg, but the Trojans lost to Central Dauphin, 52-27, in week four and Cumberland Valley, 41-27, last week.

Against Cumberland Valley, Chambersburg had a second-half lead, but Cumberland Valley scored three secondhalf touchdowns, almost exclusively on the ground, to take the victory. Chambersburg has a balanced offense that is led by quarterback Ryan Martin, who hit receiver Kellen Williams for a 65-yard touchdown that gave the Trojans a 27-26 lead late in the third quarter against Cumberland Valley, and running back Jamal Pinkett, who ran 12 times for 80 yards against CV. Williams also caught five passes for 128 yards in that game. State College, who also lost to Central Dauphin by a score of 32-7 last week, also brings in a balanced offense with quarterback Pat Irwin, running backs Chris Theis, Andrew Kelly, and Ryan Goeke, and receiver Darian Herncane. This is close to a must game for both teams, and it will likely come down to which team plays the best defense.

BELLEFONTE (2-3) AT CLEARFIELD (5-0) HYDE — Bellefonte faces a tall task on Friday when it visits undefeated Clearfield, 5-0, in a Mountain League contest. Clearfield has been outscoring its opponents by an average of 20 points, and the only close game it has played to date was a 34-33 home win against Central. Christian Lezzer does everything for Clearfield. He’s rushed for 634 yards and nine touchdowns, thrown for another 490 and eight touchdowns, and, yes, he’s caught a pass for 16 yards and a TD. He has also scored a defensive touchdown after a sack and a fumble. There are other players on the team — Tyler Stratton actually leads in rushing with 561 yards and Trey Jordan has 537 receiving yards — but Lezzer sets the tone, and he has yet to be stopped or even slowed this season. Bellefonte is now 2-3 after losing to Tyrone 48-10 last Friday. It is no enviable task to have to face Clearfield and Tyrone — both away — on consecutive weeks, but the Raiders do have some weapons. Jordan Fye, back from an injury, has assumed much of the quarterback role, but sophomore Phil Fenstermacker proved he is capable of the task at any time. NuNu Buey and BrianWhite both have run

the ball effectively for Bellefonte, and Nick Leiter is the county’s top receiver with 20 catches for 346 yards. It is easy to say that Bellfonte must at least control Lezzer to stay in this game, but every other team has more than likely said the same thing to no avail. The Raiders will have to keep Lezzer on the sidelines with long drives (and no mistakes) as well as shore up their second-half defense to keep this close. Kickoff at the Bison Sports Complex is set for 7 p.m.

TYRONE (3-2) AT BALD EAGLE AREA (4-1) WINGATE — Tyrone lost its first two games of the season, but since then it has been on a tear. Bellewood-Antis upset Tyrone in week one and then Central shut it out in week two, 28-0. Since then, Tyrone has blown out Huntingdon, 71-6, Philipburg, 60-7, and Bellefonte, 48-10. Quaterback Erik Wagner leads the Eagles’ passing attack with 34 completions in 66 attempts for 401 yards and four touchdowns while James Oliver is the top Tyrone rusher with 862 yards this season on 80 attempts (over 10 yds.per-carry) and 12 touchdowns. Oliver ran the ball for 84 yards and two touchdowns against Bellefonte. Also running the ball for Tyrone are Aleic Hunter (199 yds.) and Corey Snyder (132 yds.). BEA will also have to wary of the Eagles’ pass defense. Tyrone returned two pass interceptions for touchdowns against Bellefonte, and overall Tyrone has given up just over seven points-per-game over the last three games. Bald Eagle is 4-1 coming into this game, but it is also coming off a tough, 34-0 loss to Central. Dion Barnard (449 yds.), Dakota Bartley (305 yds.), Bryan Greene (122 yds.) and Nate Sharkey (99 yds.) are the top rushers for BEA, which relies heavily on its ground game. Quarterback Cole Long has chipped in with 351 yards passing on 35 of 50 attempts this season, but the Eagles would prefer to keep it on the ground. The BEA rushing attack will be a key in this game. If the Eagles can control the ball and move in on the ground consistently, keeping Oliver and the Tyrone offense on the sidelines, BEA could keep this game close and go for a win late. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

The Glass Eye: Change needed for Pirates’ future On Aug. 1, the Pittsburgh Pirates were 60-44. They were only 3 games behind the Reds for the division lead, and had a comfortable four-game lead over the Cardinals for the second wildcard berth. They were a .500 road team but had the majors’ best home record at 33-16, and while they had only outscored their opponents by 36 runs it seemed likely that they would contend to the end of the season, and certainly the streak of 19 straight losing seasons would come to an end. Given the relatively easy schedule the last two months and their dominance at home, 82 wins seemed like a gimme — and I said so in this column back then. Friday night, the Pirates lost their 81st game, and for good measure managed to get no-hit while doing so for the first time in 41 years. Sunday, their most reliable pitcher — closer Joel Hanrahan — gave up two runs and blew a 3-2 lead, which led to the Dave Glass is a 82nd loss and ensured the 20th columnist for The straight losing season. Since Aug. 1, the Centre County Pirates have gone 18-38, the worst Gazette. Email Dave at buggyrecord in the NL over that span. The racer@verizon.net. most exciting, enjoyable Pirate season in two decades quickly became the most frustrating, almost unwatchable team since 1992 — and the agony was made worse by the fact that this is the second major August/September collapse in a row. How did the Pirates blow it? Through Aug. 1, the Pirates had scored 431 runs (4.14 per game) and allowed 395 (3.80 per game). The offense was below-average, but the run prevention was among the best in the league. Since Aug. 1, the offense has averaged 3.84 runs per game, but the Pirates have allowed a whopping 4.89 runs per game. Quite simply, the pitching collapsed. Offensively, Andrew McCutchen faded somewhat — but that had to be expected, I think we can all agree that for all of McCutchen’s talents, he’s not really a .370 hitter. In the end he will hit about .330 with 30 home runs and 20-plus steals — any team would take that from its center fielder. Alvarez and Jones continued to hit, but the injury to Neil Walker really disrupted the offense, and manager Clint Hurdle’s insistence on giving Rod Barajas a lot of playing time despite a sub-.200 batting average has not helped ei-

ther. However, the offense has done enough to finish above .500 given the hot start — the pitching clearly is the main culprit. A.J. Burnett has been very solid all season, and Wandy Rodriguez has been as good as can be expected since he was acquired — but the rest of the rotation has been a disaster. James McDonald has been so bad that he was pulled from the rotation (I still think he’s hiding an injury), Jeff Karstens has been injured/ineffective, and there hasn’t been anyone else step forward to pick up the slack. Even the once-feared bullpen has fallen on hard times — Jason Grilli is still racking up the K’s, but he’s allowed 11 runs in 20 innings since Aug. 1. Hanrahan has been mostly effective, but has still exhibited wildness — and the rest of the supporting cast has been prone to meltdowns. As a result, the Pirates managed to go 8-24 against the Padres, Brewers, Astros, Cubs and Mets the past two months — that’s beyond disappointing, it’s completely unacceptable and should lead to some changes. The simple fact is that aside from the obvious first-round picks, the farm system is not appreciably better than it was five years ago. Yes, there’s a core in place now to build around, and yes general manager Neal Huntingdon deserves real credit for trading for Burnett and Rodriguez, and for picking Jones off the scrap heap a few years ago — but his freeagent signings have been nothing short of disastrous. Clint

Barmes is the closest thing to an actual success he’s had in that area, simply because he’s an excellent defensive shortstop — but when the cream of your free-agent crop is a .227 hitter who has walked 19 times all season (against 104 strikeouts), that’s a very bad sign. I’ve defended Huntington for years, but both he and Hurdle deserve blame for two years of late-season collapsing. If the Pirates’ ownership maintains the status quo, I’ll be less convinced than ever that they are truly committed to winning as opposed to making a profit. There is still hope for the next couple of seasons — with McCutchen signed long-term, the arrival of Alvarez as a real power threat, and the expected arrival of pitching prospects Jameson Taillon and Gerrit Cole by the end of 2013, the major-league talent level will be as high as it’s been since 1992. Unfortunately, the farm is more or less barren after those two so the window of opportunity will likely be very short — and I no longer have confidence in Huntingdon or Hurdle to apply the finishing touches to a winning team. Hopefully, owner Bob Nutting can make some hard decisions, bring in a savvy GM (even if it costs a little more to do so), and Pittsburgh can finally end this long streak of futility. Pittsburgh baseball fans are starved for a winner, and they showed this summer that they will come to the park to support a good team. Mr. Nutting, the next move is clearly yours.

Nittany Notes: PSU women’s volleyball vaults to No. 1 By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

The Penn State women’s volleyball team, now ranked No. 1 in the country, swept through Wisconsin and Minnesota last weekend to run its record to 14-1 for the season and 4-0 in the Big Ten. The Nittany Lions’ 25-19, 25-21, 25-7 victory over Wisconsin was led by Deja McClendon’s 14 kills and Ariel Scott’s 12. Nia Grant added 11, and Micha Hancock contributed 46 assists, three aces and six digs for the Lions. On Saturday, the team traveled to Minnesota to take on the No. 10 Gophers who were 12-2 overall and 3-0 in the Big Ten coming into the match. After a tough, 25-23 win in the first set, Penn State stomped Wisconsin, 25-8, in the second and then cruised out, 25-20, to complete the shutout. McClendon, Scott, and Katie Slay all had nine kills for the Lions and Hancock handed out 35 assists and had two aces and nine digs. This weekend Penn State heads west again to take on

Northwestern and Illinois. The eighth-ranked women’s soccer team kept rolling with wins over Ohio State, 3-0 on Thursday, and Minnesota, 4-3, on Sunday. The wins increased the Nittany Lions record for the season to 10-2 and 5-0 in the Big Ten. On Sunday, Minnesota took an early 1-0 lead, but PSU goals by Whitney Church and Maya Hayes put the Lions ahead 2-1 in the 18th minute. Minnesota tied it again with a goal by Katie Thyken, but Hayes scored her second in the 27th minute to put Penn State ahead to stay. Church added another goal in the 57th minute to make it 4-2 in PSU’s favor, and the Lions held on after another late Minnesota score by Taylor Uhl in the 81st minute. Next up for Penn State in the Big Ten will be Indiana on Sunday at Jeffery field. The men’s soccer team was involved in its third consecutive 1-0 game on Saturday, this time losing a heartbreaker to Indiana in two overtimes. Indiana’s Harrison Petts scored unassisted from 19 yards out in the 106th minute to secure the win for the

Hoosiers. Penn State outshot Indiana 12-7, but the Lions could not get one in goal, and their record fell to 6-3-1 overall and 1-1 in the Big Ten. Penn State now travels to Michigan for a Big Ten showdown on Saturday. The No. 6 field hockey team had its seven-game win streak snapped on Friday night in a 4-3 overtime loss to No. 10 Northwestern. Laura Gephart, Ashtin Klinger, Brittany Grzwacz, and Hanna Allison all scored for the Lions, with Allison’s goal giving Penn State a 3-2 lead in the 57th minute. But Chelsea Armstrong’s 18th goal of the season tied the game at 3-3 in the 63rd minute, and then her 19th goal of the season from 21 feet out won it for the Wildcats just one minute into overtime. Penn State is now 10-3 for the season and 2-1 in Big Ten Play. The Penn State women’s golf team won the Penn State Invitational over the weekend by 24 shots over runner-up Harvard. The women shot a combined two-under par 862 for the tournament and were led by individual champion Ellen Ceresko, who fired a final round two-under 70 to take the tournament honors by seven shots over teammate Christina Vosters. Ceresko finished the weekend by shooting a total of eight-under par for the tournament. Penn State’s team score of 862 was the best ever by a Penn State team, beating the old record of 888 by 26 shots.

Still plenty of time to hit links in Centre Region the club house following completion of play. A Turkey Shoot is best described in general as a tournament for two-person teams to play a mix of golf variations: holes 1-6 scramble, holes 7-12 alternate shot and holes 1318 best ball. Or as Penn State PGA Golf professional explained, “a Turkey Shoot is like when a turkey wanders in the woods, you go from No. 1 tee to No. 2 green, No. 3 tee to No. 8 green,� said Hughes. “It’s a fun, weird play like that in a scramble only format. We try to get 12-14 holes established. It is a fun format on a cool November morning.�

A majority of golfers consider the end of the golfing season Labor Day weekend, but usually there is still plenty of beautiful weather remaining on the calendar to not put those clubs away before the snow flies. While the children have gone back to school and football has taken center stage, there is no reason to stop thinking of the game and what rewards lie ahead in getting just one more round before seeing the season end. Keep in mind that the Centre Region courses have end-of-season dates, but all are open until the snow flies. While this past golf season had spectacular weather, although just a tad bit warmer than usual and not enough rain, the region’s golf professionals and their staffs reported the year to be one of the best in years. But before you put those clubs in mothballs, a couple of golf-related John Dixon writes a items may be of interest to area golfers. (Editor's note: Next week will be the weekly golf column final golf column for the season. If anyfor The Centre one has items of golf-related interest for County Gazette. He can be reached at the column, please send as soon as posjwd1@psu.edu. sible for publication.)

language class. “All the classes, including ballet, were in Russian,” she said. “You spoke to all your teachers in Russian and they gave you corrections in Russian.” Matsui described the first day of ballet class there. “It was an incredible feeling. You’re at this legendary school about to take class with these amazing teachers. It was kind of surreal,” she said. She spent weekends with a host family, attending cultural events, touring the city and visiting museums. “Of course, I had to speak Russian with the family as well,” Matsui said. The RAF hopes to foster improving relations between the American and Russian people, and language, of course, plays an important role. By sending outstanding, talented young people to Russia, the Foundation demonstrates a willingness to understand Russian culture. The individuals selected must show enthusiasm for this goal. Matsui arrived in Moscow as an eager, talented, young dancer. After six weeks of Russian ballet training, she says she has “fallen in love with it in a different way.” Perhaps the immersion in another culture has introduced her to a world outside the studio. Despite the praise given by her Russian teachers and the positive assessments of her abilities, Matsui has decided to pursue other interests. “I want to try some new things,” she said. “It’s kind of scary because I spent my whole life focused on ballet, but I want to see what life has in store.” She speculates that she may attend Penn State, which would mean that Centre County dance enthusiasts can enjoy a few more years of watching Matsui perform with local companies. “I love ballet even more than before,” she said. “I learned a lot and took away a lot. I really hope I can share what I’ve learned about culture and life during this amazing opportunity.”

For The Gazette

STATE COLLEGE — If ballet dancers have any effect on international relations, 18-year-old Miya Matsui, of State College, may play a pivotal role. The State College High School senior spent her summer vacation in Moscow studying with the prestigious Bolshoi Ballet Academy and absorbing Russian culture while dispelling the old stereotype of the American abroad. But her story starts much earlier. Matsui began the rigorous study of ballet at the age of 3. As the years progressed and her talent became apparent, she knew where her path was headed. “I realized I really wanted to focus on ballet,” she said. So, in 2005, Matsui joined the professional preparation program offered at Ballet Theatre of State College, now known as Performing Arts School of Central Pennsylvania. Then, in 2011, she auditioned for the Bolshoi Ballet Academy in New York City. Once accepted, Matsui spent six weeks studying with Bolshoi instructor, Ilya Kuznetsov. “He’s amazing,” she said. Kuznetsov danced as a soloist with the Bolshoi before teaching. The Bolshoi, one of the oldest, most respected dance companies in the world, operates several academies, including the ones Matsui attended. Fascinated by her experience in New York, Matsui wanted to pursue her study of Russian ballet. “Their style is different,” she said. “It’s very big and grand, with lots of expression in the upper body.” So she had some conversations with Kuznetsov, who told her that the instructors there had watched her and liked what they saw. Matsui received an invitation for a yearround course of study at the Bolshoi Academy in Moscow. However, she found the $18,000 price tag prohibitive. “I was really upset for a while,” she recalled. Then she found out about a State Department-affiliated program called the ‘National Security Language Initiative for Youth’ (NSLI-Y). In conjunction with the Russian American Foundation (RAF), NSLI-Y offers selected participants the opportunity to travel to Russia and immerse themselves in Russian language and culture. RAF selects 15 American ballet students for this particular intensive. In addition to showing talent as dancers, applicants submit essays to demonstrate aptitude for linguistic and cultural study. Fully funded by the Department of State, the experience suited Matsui perfectly. This, she could afford. Plus it gave her the chance to interact with different people with different backgrounds and different traditions. “I really wanted to break stereotypes,” she said, “and show what the U.S. really has to offer.” Arriving in Moscow this summer, she and her classmates stayed in dorms at the academy. Their days began with a fourhour ballet class. They got a lunch break, and then attended a four-hour Russian

established themselves as the most successful classical crossover artists ever to emerge from Ireland.

‘Dayze Gone Bye’ offers trip through Amish country By HARRY ZIMBLER For The Gazette

BELLEVILLE — Take a short trip over the mountains and you’ll find yourself in Belleville, a quaint town with a well-known weekly auction and farmer’s market attended by Amish families from throughout central Pennsylvania. Eight miles west — in “Big Valley”— you’ll find Allensville, a farming community that is home to dozens of Amish families that maintain a way of life that feels more like 1812 than 2012. In that verdant region you’ll also find “Dayze Gone Bye,” a company that offers carriage rides for all occasions, from hay rides to sleigh rides. Owned and operated by Nick and Tara Richtscheit, “Dayze Gone Bye” has a signature offering that is the experience of a lifetime: a guided tour through the back roads of Amish country in a genuine Amish buggy. What makes the experience so unique and so fascinating is the narrative that the Richtscheits offer as you make your way for several miles through farms and homesteads that you might never get to see otherwise. Even more enchanting, though, is the fact that both husband and wife are very friendly with their neighbors. Before they created their company, they asked the local Amish community for its blessing.

“I always thought I was born a hundred years too late,” said Nick Richtscheit. “We fit into this community. My grandparents took a horse and buggy to the grocery store when I was a boy. And we craved the simplicity of the life here. The way people cook and heat their homes. It was all familiar to us.” Nick served as the Chief of Police in Houtzdale for 30 years. Tara worked for Berg Electronics in Clearfield for 27 years. When their careers ended, the couple decided to move to Allensville. “To us, this is paradise,” said Tara. “At first we spent weekends here. Later, we moved in. What we’re doing is what I call a ‘heart’s desire’ business. We came for the beauty of the valley and the simple lifestyle.” To ensure that their business does not intrude on the Amish community, the Richtscheit’s are very respectful of Amish culture and beliefs. For example, they do not allow their passengers to photograph the Amish residents. Amish culture believes that photographing a person’s face is akin to stealing an individual’s soul. “We asked our Amish neighbors if they thought our buggy rides would be disrespectful. We always talk to our neighbors. We are also part of the community,” said Tara. The Richtscheit’s are members of the

local Mennonite church. The tours of the Amish countryside are personalized so that each rider gets to experience something different. The buggy stops along the way to allow passengers to shop at “stores” set up on many farms. Fresh produce, eggs, meats, cheese and other goods are available, depending upon the season. Riders can also meet Amish furniture and shoe makers along the route. “We look at this business as expanding our circle of friends and family,” said Tara. “Seeing how life is lived here can change people. The five mile tour is a trip back in time. Of course we never do tours on Sunday. We keep the Sabbath holy.” In addition to Amish country tours, “Dayze Gone Bye” offers many other services including hay rides, special events — such as anniversaries and weddings — sleigh rides and parades. They are able to transport their horses and carriages to any location. “We do many events,” Tara said. “Oktoberfest in Cassville, Harvest Fest in Reedsville, May Fest in Huntingdon, Krist Kindle Fest in Mifflinburg and the Gita Nagari celebration in Port Royal.” The Richtscheits believe that they can make any special occasion even more special. From proms to proposals and weddings, they are ready to serve. Of course, it is the experience of clip-

Alexander ranks among fastest growing companies From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — Alexander Building Construction Co. recently announced its rank of 38th on the 16th annual list of the Top 50 Fastest Growing Companies in central Pennsylvania as selected by the Central Penn Business Journal. “It is an honor to be recognized for the strides our company has made and will continue to

make,” said Richard Seitz, President of Alexander Building Construction Co. “Each of our employees helped make this achievement a possibility.” An event was held on Sept. 10 at the Hilton Harrisburg to recognize the winners and announce their ranks. In addition to the awards breakfast, the Top 50 Fastest Growing Companies are profiled in a special supplement to the

Sept. 14 issue of the Central Penn Business Journal with information on each company’s financial growth. In order to be eligible for nomination, companies must be public or private, for-profit entities headquartered in Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry or York counties, and demonstrate significant revenue growth for 2011 as compared to 2009.

SF & Company reviewed the nominations and ranked the companies according to revenue growth over the three-year period. Both dollar and percentage increases were taken into consideration, which led to the list of the 2012 Top 50 Fastest Growing Companies, consisting of both large and small companies. Alexander is one of the region’s top construction management firms with locations in Har-

risburg and State College.
