STATE COLLEGE — It’s almost here. Another Black Friday is on the horizon and stores throughout Centre County are ready for the onslaught. At Mike’s Video, TV and Appliance, co-owner Pete Popovich said that the store has already begun its Black Friday sales, but won’t do anything special for that specific day. “We’re open normal hours (9 a.m. to 7 p.m.). We don’t need anyone standing outside at 4 a.m.,” Popovich said with a laugh. Although the doors won’t open before the sun is up, Popovich is hopeful that those shopping for namebrand appliances this holiday season will still head to Mike’s. After all, he said, there are some benefits to shopping and buying locally. “The big thing is, by shopping at Mike’s you’re helping the local economy. We shop locally ourselves, so the money that gets spent here enables us to help local charities as well as the local businesses,” Popovich said. Mike’s has been a staple in State College for 28 years. The store was on North Atherton Street long before some of the other “big box” stores began cropping up. “Our pricing is in line with Lowe’s, Best Buy, all the big box stores. You’re not paying more here, but you are getting better local customer service. We really care about our jobs,” Popovich said. And while it might be tempting to get in line on Thanksgiving night to snag a 55-inch flat screen television, Popovich urges caution when buying a big ticket item, such as a television. “If you buy a television and it breaks, you’ll have to ship it back to wherever,” Popovich said. “We service everything here.” One of the most popular items during the holiday

TURKEY TIME: Children from the Big Brothers Big Sisters program of Centre County took part in a pre-Thanksgiving dinner at Calvary Baptist Church.

STATE COLLEGE — As the first ever “Stuff a Blue Bus” campaign came to an end earlier in the week, the Central PA Food Bank is preparing to distribute food donations to 27 counties. Held in conjunction with Penn State, the drive was held from Nov. 9 to 18, said Brad Peterson, director of communications and marketing at the Central PA Food Bank. The drive was centered around the Indiana football game on Nov. 17, he said, but collection started at Penn State athletic events on Nov. 9. The drive closed with the Lady Lions game on Nov. 18. “Our goal is to collect between 5,000 and 10,000 pounds (of food),” Peterson said. Last year, the Central PA Food Bank distributed approximately 22 million pounds of food, Peterson said.

Annual dinner delights children By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — The smell of turkey hung in the air as children played games before a big Thanksgiving meal. But this wasn’t a family room in central Pennsylvania. And this wasn’t just a couple of children, but close to 75. This was the annual Thanksgiving celebration at Calvary Baptist Church in State College. The event is held every year on the weekend before Thanksgiving for children in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program of Centre County. “We’ve been doing this for five or six years. It started with a smaller group in the church that decided to put it on,” said Josh Stapleton of Calvary Baptist Church. “This year was a little different. We decided to get some of the kids from our Saturday night service to serve the food. What’s neat about this event is that it’s a group effort.” Children from the program began arriving at the church late in the afternoon on Friday. They played games — from pumpkin bowling to relay races and everything in between — prior to dinner being served.

BUS STOP: Penn State fans helped “Stuff a Blue Bus” last week. All of the food collected went to the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank. “There were approximately 8,500 households in Centre County that accessed food assistance last year,” he said. “Last year we distributed nearly 334,000 pounds of food throughout Centre County through a network of more than 35 food pantries, shelters, senior centers (and other places).” Each week, Peterson said, 46,000 people access food through the Central PA Food Bank’s network. Peterson said food that is donated through the “Stuff a Blue Bus” drive will be distributed through the food bank’s network of food pantries. People who are in need register with these pantries to receive assistance, he said. “We are planning on keeping all of the food that is donated in this food drive in Centre County,” Peterson said. The amount of people accessing food assistance continues to grow each year, Peterson said, explaining that the food bank saw a 19 percent increase last year. “So it is vitally important to receive donations to continue to assist families and individuals struggling with hunger,” he said. “This time of year, as the holidays are approaching,

AT THE ANNUAL pre-Thanksgiving dinner held at Calvary Baptist Church in State College, children help serve the food. Dinner, from page 1 awesome having littles,â€? Himmelberger said. “We really like to set up this Thanksgiving event for the kids. We had over 20 volunteers ‌ buying the food, delivering the food, serving the food, playing with the kids, planning activities, setting up and tearing down. It’s just a huge group effort.â€? The dinner menu consisted of the standard Thanksgiving Day fare — turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, peas, cranberry sauce and dinner rolls. For dessert, the children enjoyed ice cream with a plethora of toppings. According to Stapleton, the church went through six turkeys. “It’s a lot of food. This year, we had great help from Wegmans with the turkeys, potatoes and gravy. You’re talking pounds and pounds of potatoes. We can handle heating up the corn,â€? Stapleton said with a laugh.

As for the children, the smiles told the story. One third-grader from Bellefonte Elementary School said that it wasn’t hard to pick her favorite part of the night. “I like it because you get turkey and ice cream,� she said. “I love sprinkles.� It also gives the children a glimpse of what Thanksgiving Day will be like. “I’ll get to see my family. I like seeing my aunt and uncle. We won’t have ice cream, though. We’ll have pie — peach, apple and pumpkin,� she explained. In the end, though, the night isn’t about the food. It’s about quality time with the children in the program. “It’s great because some of these kids aren’t matched yet — because there’s such a need for Bigs in Centre County — so they don’t get to do a weekly activity,� Himmelberger said. “But they come here, they get to play some games and have fun while they wait for a mentor.�

Penn State trustees authorize search for president By GENARO C. ARMAS Associated Press

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State trustees have approved the process to find a new president and an athletics code of conduct required by the NCAA as part of the penalties for the child sex abuse scandal involving former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. The university last week also received encouraging news after the Middle States Commission on Higher Education lifted its accreditation warning and reaffirmed the school was in compliance with the agency’s governance, finance and integrity standards. The presidential search begins immediately, with the goal to find President Rodney Erickson’s replacement by next November. Erickson plans to step down by June 2014. Board Chairwoman Karen Peetz was confident the school would have no trouble finding potential candidates despite the scandal. “By the time someone gets here in 2014, it will be just a distant memory,� Peetz said. Earlier in the day on Nov. 16, higher education commission announced that the school was in full compliance

Alumni critics remain incensed about the results of Freeh’s investigation, which said Hall of Fame football coach Joe Paterno, former President Graham Spanier and two other university officials concealed abuse allegations. Paterno died in January. His family, as well as Spanier and the two school officials, have vehemently denied there was a cover-up. Each of the six speakers who spoke during Friday’s public comment period denounced the board in varying degrees. Phil Shultes, 48, of Queensbury, N.Y., said he was among a faction of alumni severing ties with the school. “Penn State is dead to us. We are not moving forward ... and it is not because of this scandal; it is because of your response to it,� he said as Peetz listened at the podium. “Nearly every decision this board has made has defied logic and defined cowardice.� Shultes, a 1990 graduate of the College of Medicine, said he was discouraging prospective students from attending Penn State and was asking other alumni who shared his sentiments to do the same. “That’s very disappointing,� Peetz said later when asked about the comment. “I would have expected that alumni would get behind the university at the time we need them the most.� Peetz said the university would be proactive in reaching out to students, staff, faculty, alumni and other Penn State community groups for input on the presidential search. “Over the past year, the board and community have had our share of conflicts,� Peetz told trustees. “I urge everyone to work together ... for the future of Penn State.�

with the agency’s governance, finance and integrity standards. The commission lifted the accreditation warning issued in August based on the fallout from the scandal that began a year ago with Sandusky’s arrest. Sandusky was later convicted and sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison for sexually abusing 10 boys. He maintains his innocence. Deep fractures remain among some vocal alumni and others in the university community over how Penn State leaders handled the scandal; the internal investigation led by former FBI director Louis Freeh; and the landmark NCAA sanctions. As part of the consent decree with the NCAA, the university was required to institute an athletics code of conduct. The school’s legal counsel said the code of conduct simply reaffirms current university guidelines. Three trustees sought to emphasize that passing a code of conduct didn’t equate to the board officially giving its approval to the NCAA sanctions, which Erickson agreed to. He has said he faced a difficult “take-it-or-leave-it� proposition after the NCAA discussed shutting down the football program. Trustees Anthony Lubrano and Ryan McCombie, who joined the board this summer, and veteran trustee Joel Myers praised the code of conduct but said it was important to make a distinction. “We just wanted to be clear that accepting the resolution was in no way an acknowledgment of our acceptance of the consent decree agreement,� Lubrano said. “We never ratified that.�

more people come to us seeking food assistance, so this food drive will be a great benefit to those in the community that are having a hard time putting food on their table.” Brenna Mathers, marketing assistant with Penn State athletics, said although this is the first year of “Stuff a Blue Bus,” Penn State has held other drives in the past. Throughout the week of the drive, volunteers with Penn State worked around the clock, “manning the bus (and answering) anyone’s questions,” Mathers said. The Central PA Food Bank provided a variety of volunteers as well, she said. Donated food was picked up Monday, Mathers said, and will be distributed to food banks in the surrounding 27 counties, covering the middle third of the state from top to bottom. “This drive is important to Penn State Athletics due to the number of our neighbors that are at risk of going hungry,” Mathers said. “I get chills every game day seeing the mass quantity of people packing that stadium to support the awesome program that is Penn State football. Picturing that tenfold, and for unfortunately the worse, moves me to take action. And I see the passion of those 108,000 (people) on Saturday and know that if they’re provided that information, they’d choose to bring a can.” During the drive, the “blue bus” was stationed at a variety of locations around town, said Alexa Hetzel, marketing coordinator for Penn State Athletics for Football. The bus sat at the marquee at the Bryce Jordan Center, she said, and drop-off locations were at Rec Hall, Weis Markets and Comcast, she said. On game day Saturday, drop-off locations included Medlar Field, gate B at the BJC, The Visitor’s Center and Jeffrey Field, she said. The bus’s last appearance was on Sunday for the Lady Lions basketball game.

shopping season are televisions. However, other appliances move too. “Televisions are big. People need a present to buy and inventory is good. But we also get people coming in who say ‘we’ve needed a new washer for years, we’re just going to do it,’” he said. Just down the street from Mike’s is Plato’s Closet, which sells name-brand used clothing. As his co-workers stocked shelves with winter jackets, sweatshirts and jeans, Plato’s Closet manager Justin Baker, said that he’s expecting big crowds on Black Friday. “Black Friday is one of those days that’s just kind of a feeding frenzy. It’s changing, though, because stores are opening on Thanksgiving. That’s a bit different and something we’re not used to,” Baker said. According to Baker, Plato’s Closet will adjust its hours on Black Friday. “We’re going to open at 7 a.m.,” he said. In previous years, Plato’s Closet has been busy from open to close on Black Friday. Baker doesn’t expect 2012 to be any different. “We do get the bargain hunters,” Baker said. “One of the things that people like about us is that they never know what they’re going to get. The inventory changes on a daily basis. It’s different every single day.” As for Black Friday specials, Baker doesn’t anticipate having any. There will be the usual discount racks, of course. “We try to offer the lowest price,” Baker said. “Not just on Black Friday ... all year long, every day.”

BOXES OF FOOD line the seats of a blue bus last week. Food was collected all week as Penn State fans tried to “Stuff a Blue Bus.” Hetzel said the main goal behind this year’s drive is to fill the bus as much as possible “so we can help feed central Pennsylvania.” “This is the time of year when the food banks run out of food,” she said, “so ideally we would like to get 10,000 pounds of food.” Hetzel said she credits the students for helping to volunteer and watch the bus during the week. “We appreciate everyone’s participation and donations … it seems like something so small that can really make a difference in so many lives,” she said. “When we were given the opportunity to work with the

Central PA Food Bank we were thrilled. With 1.2 million people hungry, which is about 11 Beaver Stadiums, we felt it was the right thing to do to help feed those that are struggling to feed themselves and their families.” Since 2008 the Central PA Food Bank has distributed more than 1.3 million pounds of food in Centre County.

State College begins discussion on 2013 budget By LAURA NICHOLS StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — State College Borough Council adjourned to a work session to discuss the 2013 Operational Budget after an hour-long regular meeting on Monday evening. Council was not able to take any formal actions, such as voting on or making amendments to the budget, but it took time to consider some of the major sections of the budget. Borough President Don Hahn said there were a few major sections — general fund revenues, capital fund improvements, budgetary policies and debt management. Included in the capital fund improvements is filling in the sinkhole underneath State College

Area School District’s Memorial Field. The proposal for the Borough to vote on will be presented at the Dec. 3 regular meeting. Currently, there are no changes in recommendations in budgetary policies in the 2013 budget. However, not included in the budget is the increased fines for alcohol-related offenses, Sen. Jake Corman’s legislation that recently passed, and the student home rental fee, which did not become effective until after the budget was drafted. Council needs some time to see how those fees will shake out before drawing them into the budget. Further discussion and action on the 2013 budget will continue at a later meeting, and will be reviewed on Dec. 3-4. During the regular meeting,

State College Mayor Elizabeth Goreham said during the Mayor’s Report that she recently attended the Pennsylvania Municipal League meeting, where a municipal pension reform proposal was discussed. The proposal was created by the league and is being vetted by various groups, Goreham said, and it would replace one, if not more of the current municipal pension plans. “Every member of the board expressed enthusiasm over coming to State College next June when we host the annual convention,” Goreham said. “I told them their expectations would not be disappointed.” Council approved two changes to the vehicle and traffic ordinance. It first made a change to the parking regulations on Corl

Street because a fire hydrant was placed in a new section of the street during reconstruction of the street. The posted sign regulations contradict Pennsylvania law, which forbids parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, according to the borough. The amendment corrected the issue. The next change was to the parking regulations on Fraser Street. After the street was realigned, a sign was posted that allowed loading and unloading in the travel lane during certain times, according to the borough. The zone was designed for quick food deliveries but has been used by large tractor-trailers whose deliveries are taking too much time. During such deliveries, a safety hazard arises for pedestrians and vehicles. The new regulations will restrict all stopping,

standing, loading and unloading from the travel lanes. Officials said there is adequate loading zone space on the College Avenue at the corner of Fraser Street to service the businesses in the area. Council moved swiftly through its routine approvals, including accepting the resignation of long-time member of the borough, Carol Gold, who is leaving the board of health to relocate across the country. Council also approved a resolution for the destruction of records within the police department and approved the closing of South Allen Street from College Avenue to Calder Way from 5:307:30 p.m. on Nov. 29 for the annual tree lighting ceremony sponsored by the Downtown Improvement District.

Founded in 1962 by Dr. Joel Myers, AccuWeather has grown from a weather company providing forecasts for businesses into an international weather media company that reaches more than half a billion users worldwide daily. AccuWeather serves a worldwide audience from its headquarters in State College, and its Severe Weather Center in Wichita, Kan., according to press re-

Customized solutions to media, business, government, and institutions are also play a role in AccuWeather’s services. Myers, AccuWeather’s founder and president, is credited with many of the advances in the way consumers receive their weather information. “I was passionate about the weather at a very early age, and I also knew I would be able to combine my love of forecasting with a business that would save lives and help people know more

about what the weather had in store for them on a daily basis,” said Myers, the father of StateCollege.com Publisher Dan Myers. “We are constantly reinventing ourselves as technology changes how people access our accurate forecasts.” AccuWeather became the first to introduce the seven-day, 10day, 15-day hourly, and even the 25-day hourly forecast. AccuWeather retains patents for weather measures such as the RealFeel Temperature — the only weather index to incorporate eight key variables to show what the temperature really feels like — as well as dozens of lifestyle forecasts, which show how the weather will affect travel, health, hobbies, sports and more, the press release said.

Act now to preserve low-income housing I urge our community to oppose the proposed February 2013 evictions of the Hilltop Mobile Home Park residents and support the residents’ efforts to halt the sale and rezoning of the property. The home owners want to purchase the land to form a residents’ cooperative that will preserve much needed low income housing in our area. Trinitas Ventures, a student housing developer in Illinois, has requested that the zoning be changed from a mobile home park to allow other uses, prior to purchasing the site. If College Township refuses the rezoning request, Trinitas is unlikely to purchase the land and the Hilltop park will be preserved. Concerned citizens can send letters to the College Township Council, 1481 E. College Ave., State College, PA 16801 and attend the rezoning discussion at an upcoming council meeting in the College Township Building.

Most will not find an available space or be able to afford to move their homes, resulting in the loss of their investment. The Penn State Mobile Home Park land does not have limited zoning. The residents do not have the option of using zoning as a strategy to prevent the closure of their mobile home park. According to current law, mobile home park owners are not required to pay the residents for their abandoned homes and can force them to pay additional costs to demolish homes that are not moved. Residents must repay loans they obtained to purchase their mobile homes even after the homes have been demolished. The debt burden may prevent them from being able to pay for future housing. If these residents leave the area to find affordable housing, the Centre Region may face a lack of low wage workers in key jobs like home health care and retail. The mobile home parks also house many low income people who are retired, disabled, or face economic hardship due to divorce or job loss during the recession. The closure of the mobile home parks will add to the affordable housing crisis in Centre County. With enough citizen demand, Gov. Corbett and our state representatives and senators may make the newly passed law, Act 156, retroactive so the residents of both of these mobile home parks will receive some financial compensation for losing their homes, and the families will be given a chance to form a residents’ cooperative. For more information, visit savehilltop.org. For the date of the rezoning discussion, contact College Township, (814) 231-3021.

Should Texas be allowed to secede? By JOEL MATHIS and BEN BOYCHUK Scripps Howard News Service

Since President Barack Obama’s re-election, more than 100,000 people have put their name to an online petition demanding Texas be allowed to peacefully leave the United States and form its own government. Republican Gov. Rick Perry repudiates the movement, but secession petitions are now emerging in other “red” (and some “blue”) states as well. Didn’t Abraham Lincoln settle this issue? Columnists Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk debate.

JOEL MATHIS Why do Republicans hate America? Settle down, settle down. I’m just kidding. Really. Those thousands of Texans have signed a secession petition because they hate Obama more than they love their own country? They’re a clear minority in both their state and in their party. Once the pain of losing the presidential election subsides, many of the signatories will eventually feel duly sheepish about their hasty action. Still, the secession movement didn’t come out of nowhere. In the hours and days after Obama’s re-election, there were plenty of Republicans who started the hard task of looking at themselves and their party and asking hard questions about why the GOP has lost four of the last six presidential elections — and five of six, if you go by popular vote counts. But too many of their conservative colleagues gave themselves over to petulance instead, deciding that America had proved itself unworthy of the conservative vision. You probably heard it in the comments of your Republican friends

that “America was getting the government it deserved.” And it made itself most explicit in Mitt Romney’s declaration that the Obama campaign essentially bought his majority vote with “gifts” to various constituencies — as though the Wall Street billionaires who supported his candidacy were merely altruistic, expecting no gain in return. Many Republicans have convinced themselves, then, that they lost because of the moral superiority of their ideology, that Americans just aren’t up for the grizzled Ayn Randian self-reliance it requires. It’s an attitude both contemptuous and contemptible, and it’s easy to see how it would eventually express itself in a secession petition. If Texas wants to leave, let it: It’s not worth another bloody Civil War to keep the Union together. In the meantime, Republicans will have to rein in the contempt for their fellow citizens if they want to again earn their votes.

BEN BOYCHUK Every four years or so, a sizeable minority of Americans — sometimes upward of 49 percent or even more — wake up the morning after Election Day to a country they claim not to recognize. The thought of four more years of an Obama “recovery,” the implementation of the president’s ghastly health insurance law, and the prospect of a judiciary remade along left-liberal lines — it’s too much for many Republicans to bear. Rather than suffer the indignity of living under this man’s administration as more and more of our Godgiven liberties fall away under an ever more regulatory state, wouldn’t it be better simply to part company? No, it would not.

Petulance is a two-way street, of course. Eight years ago, millions of Democrats woke up to the horror of George W. Bush’s second term. Red America was suddenly “Jesusland.” San Franciscans became more smug and insufferable. And soon, people like Kirkpatrick Sale and Lawrence O’Donnell were in the pages of the left-wing Nation magazine and on cable television making an earnest case — or whining, depending on your point of view — for a “blue-state secession.” It was foolish talk then, and it’s even more foolish now. We lost an election. Our liberties are always in jeopardy, regardless of which party has the majority. The country will be a different place in four years. Very possibly, Republicans won’t have the presidency again for a generation. That’s politics. None of those things justifies secession, which is, as the very first Republican president put it, “the essence of anarchy.” “A majority,” Abraham Lincoln said in his first inaugural address in 1861, “held in restraint by constitutional checks and limitations and always changing easily with deliberate changes of popular opinions and sentiments, is the only true sovereign of a free people. Whoever rejects it does of necessity fly to anarchy or despotism.” Republicans are not well suited to anarchy. For conservatives, now is not the time to lose faith in the Constitution and the principles of America’s founding. Nothing lasts forever — certainly not republics. But silly secession fantasies are nothing more than preemptive surrender.

HEALTH & WELLNESS Proper care can make difference with diabetes November is American Diabetes Month and the health care experts at Mount Nittany’s Center for Wound Care, a member of the Healogics network, are drawing attention to the fact that every hour seven people across the country lose a foot or leg to the disease, which is the leading cause of lower-limb amputations not caused by accidents. “Diabetic patients are confronted with multiple challenges in the healing process. Not only is their circulation diminished, but they also have an impaired ability to sense the earliest stages of foot injury due to disease-associated nerve damage,” said Dr. Scott Covington, executive vice president, medical affairs for Healogics, Inc., a network of academic medical centers, hosMaria Dawson is pitals and professionthe administrative als committed to addirector of the vancing wound healMount Nittany Wound Care. ing and addressing the problem of chronic wounds. According to the National Institutes of Health, nearly one in three people with diabetes ages 40 and older have at least one area on their feet that lacks feeling. Those at greater risk for nerve damage include diabetics who have difficulty controlling their blood sugar, high cholesterol, weight or blood pressure. Statistically, one in 20 diabetics will develop a wound on the legs or feet each year. The risk of amputations can be reduced by 45 to 85 percent through foot care pro-

THE VIEW FROM the new Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital, which recently opened its doors. The building is a part of a $239 million expansion project.

Penn State Hershey dedicates new children’s hospital From Gazette staff reports HERSHEY — Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center celebrated a new era of comprehensive patient- and family-centered care with the dedication of the new, freestanding Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital. In an event highlighted by the moving remarks of Kevin and Lauren Brobson, grateful parents of Claire Brobson, and the cutting of a colorful “paperdoll” ribbon, children’s hospital leadership welcomed legislative dignitaries, donors and patient families to a facility that will complement the high-quality of care already provided by Penn State Hershey pediatric specialists. “The new Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital building has become a reality through the support of generous donors, government and community partners and the tireless dedication of our caring physicians and staff,” said Dr. Harold L. Paz, chief executive officer for Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and Health System, Penn State’s senior vice president for health affairs and dean of Penn State College of Medicine. “When we open this new building to patients in January, it means children and families in central Pennsylvania will have a world class pediatric facility to match the comprehensive and compassionate care they have come to expect from us.” Work began on the new freestanding children’s hospital building in November 2009. The new children’s hospital is six floors — a ground floor and five above ground — and 263,000 square feet of space designed to promote a model of care that is focused on the unique needs of sick children and their families. It also includes areas focused on wellness and prevention. “The new home of our children’s hospital is a building that embodies and fulfills our commitment to providing care that is centered on the needs of the patient and his or her family,” said A. Craig Hillemeier, medical director of Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital and vice dean of clinical affairs. “We sought significant input from patients, families, and staff during the design to ensure that the building would most effectively serve those who need and use it.” The IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon Pediatric Cancer Pavilion, made possible with a $10 million commitment from the IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon (THON), will offer private space for kids undergoing inpatient or outpatient cancer treatment, and clinicians expanded capabilities to offer clinical trials and experimental treatment options. “It was a blessing to have access to doctors and nurses with the medical knowl-

edge and technology to fight pediatric cancer,” said Lauren Brobson. “It was comforting that the care and treatment offered here in our own community extended beyond Claire’s medical needs and reached our entire family.” The new building houses five dedicated pediatric operating rooms, a cardiac catheterization lab, two procedure rooms and a pediatric radiology space. The stateof-the-art pediatric intensive care unit is supported by a $5 million gift from the Donald B. and Dorothy L. Stabler Foundation. All patient rooms are private and designed to comfortably accommodate the whole family as well as allow staff to monitor patients while maintaining a family’s privacy and quiet time together. Other amenities designed to encourage healing and to let kids be kids, even while at the hospital, include a performing arts area, a meditation space, interactive play areas, a learning wall and healing gardens, including a “green” roof on the third floor. The building incorporates natural light in most spaces and architectural details and finishes that evoke the natural world, such as the “waterfall” window on the east end of the building, and large wall images of plant and animal life that adorn many public areas. A safety store and a family resource center provide all parents in the community with the tools and information they need to help keep kids safe and healthy. The $207 million children’s hospital building is part of a $239 million project that also included an expansion to the Centerview Parking Garage and a new Support Services Building. Philanthropic gifts of more than $75 million — including a $25 million commitment from Highmark and an $8 million gift from local philanthropists Jeanne and Ed Arnold — helped make the new building a reality. Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital is the only children’s hospital between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia fully equipped to treat the most severely ill children of central Pennsylvania, with both the highest level neonatal intensive care unit and a Level I pediatric trauma center. Children’s Hospital physicians and nurses provide comprehensive support and specialized care to infants, children, and adolescents every day. With a focus on providing first-rate health care to all children, from those with complex heart disease to childhood cancers, the children’s hospital allows patients to receive the full spectrum of highest quality care close to their homes. The children’s hospital earned national recognition from U.S. News and World Report in two specialties in 2011 and in three specialties in 2012.

grams that can include risk assessment, education, treatment of foot problems and referrals to specialists. State-of-the-art equipment and leading edge therapies are also playing a role in reducing the risk of amputation. Mount Nittany’s Center for Wound Care offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy, negative pressure wound therapy, bio-engineered skin substitutes, biological and biosynthetic dressings and growth factor therapies The experts at Mount Nittany’s Center for Wound Care note the following as indications of problems diabetics may have with their legs and urge people to discuss symptoms they may have with their healthcare providers: ■ pain in the legs or cramping in the buttocks, thighs or calves during physical activity ■ tingling, burning or painful feet ■ loss of sense of touch or the ability to feel heat or cold in the feet ■ changes in the shape, color or temperature of the feet ■ hair loss on the toes, feet and lower legs ■ dry or cracked skin on the feet; ■ thick and yellow toenails or fungus infections between the toes ■ blisters, sores, infected corns and ingrown toenails. Physicians at Mount Nittany’s Center for Wound Care recommend people with diabetes manually inspect their feet each day and seek immediate attention if a lower extremity wound has increased pain, redness or swelling, foul wound odor, or a change in color or change in amount of drainage. For more information on the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers, contact Mount Nittany’s Center for Wound Care located at 120 Radnor Road in State College or call (814) 231-7868.

Red Cross offers gift for donation From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — This Thanksgiving, the American Red Cross urges the public to not only give thanks, but to give blood as well. “Today there are hundreds of thousands of people across our country who have received transfusions of blood and blood components,” said John Hagins, CEO of the Greater Alleghenies Blood Services Region. “They and their family are thankful to the blood donors who gave their time and their blood donation to help save lives.” From Nov. 21 through 26, those who donate blood will receive a special holiday themed white long-sleeve T-shirt, while supplies last. The Red Cross has several blood drives scheduled in Centre County. Appointments are encouraged; walk-in blood donors are welcome but may have a short wait. Hagins added that the period before Thanksgiving begins a period of historically lower blood donations as people be-

come busy with holiday preparations and activities, family and social events. “However,” he continued, “the need for blood continues for those having surgery, traumatic accidents, cancer treatment and others who require transfusion of blood and blood components. “We at the Red Cross thank all our blood donors for their recent support and generosity following the recent storms on the east coast,” Hagins concluded. “We also remind those who haven’t recently given blood that the need for blood is constant and blood donations are needed yeararound. Volunteer blood donations are the only source of blood for patients who need transfusions.” Donors of all blood types are needed daily. Currently there is great demand for type O negative blood, the universal blood type. For an appointment, or to find other blood donation opportunities, call (800) RED CROSS ((800) 733-2767) or go online at redcrossblood.org

Home Instead Senior Care awards cruise to caregiver From Gazette staff reports PLEASANT GAP — The local Home Instead Senior Care office serving seven central Pennsylvania counties awarded a winter 2013 Caribbean cruise to Amy Calhoun, a local family caregiver for her elderly grandmother and a full-time LPN student on Nov. 9 at CPI in Pleasant Gap. Home Instead Senior Care has partnered with CaregiverCruises.com to sponsor the getaway for deserving caregivers and senior care professionals around the country. Local owners, Ron and Christine Krasnansky, purchased the cruise in August 2012 for a local family caregiver and their guest to enjoy some well-de-

served time away. Members of the community were invited to submit nominations of local family caregivers that they believed deserved a break. The contest ran through Oct. 15. Family caregivers seldom get away because of the time commitments and responsibility of caregiving,” said Krasnansky. “That’s why we are grateful for the opportunity to help care for these deserving caregivers. Family caregivers are the unsung heroes in our community, helping to care for and honor a generation of seniors that has given so much.” The five-night, six-day Caregiver Cruise is scheduled for Feb. 25 to March 2, 2013, on the Royal

Caribbean’s Liberty of the Seas. The cruise will set sail from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., with stops in Labadee, Haiti, and Falmouth, Jamaica. The cruise getaway will include one inside cabin room, roundtrip airfare, and accommodations at the Hampton Inn Hotel in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. All meals and entertainment on board the ship are covered, as well as, taxes, fees, travel insurance and prepaid gratuities.

BEA students craft Quilts of Valor By ROSE HOOVER For The Gazette

WINGATE — You can learn many different things when you make a quilt — Bald Eagle Area sixth grade students know that first-hand. Under the guidance of family and consumer science teacher Sharon Bittel, BEA students took part in a nationwide program to make quilts for wounded veterans and their families. Before crafting the two quilts, students first learned about family heirlooms and special handmade gifts, the historical importance of quilts, and the Freedom Trail during the Civil War. They then used their geometry skills to make the quilt squares, and after sewing the squares together they learned the correct way to layer the backing, the batting, and the tops of the quilts. The students also learned about starting a project and working collaboratively to see it finished. The students chose to give their Quilts of Valor to families in the Bald Eagle Area School District who have lost a son in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Bittel said: “The students are very excited about gifting the quilts to veterans’ families; many of them know a family member or neighbor who has served in the military.”

Black Friday shopping tips By SAMI HULINGS For The Gazette

With Black Friday upon us, The Centre County Gazette offers some tips for those headed into the madness on Friday morning — and in some cases, Thanksgiving night: 1. Beat the crowds with night owl discounts on Thanksgiving: Many stores are now opening late Thanksgiving night for those who would rather rest and avoid the 3 a.m. lines. After sleeping off the effects of the tryptophan, shoppers can head to

stores like Target and Toys ‘R’ Us at 9 p.m. on Thanksgiving night. 2. Do your research and check out the ads before Black Friday: Instead of waiting to check out Black Friday deals at stores, shoppers should gather Black Friday flyers ahead of time. Shoppers should also check store websites and Black Friday online listing for deals. This will give them an idea of which stores they should head to for certain purchases and what stores have the best deals. 3. Make a list: After looking through ads and store sites, make a list of items to be

Pictures with Santa ... Kids and/or Pets!

purchased on Black Friday. In doing so, shoppers will make the hectic early morning a little less crazy for themselves. 4. Compare prices: When looking through ads and creating your list, compare item prices. Oftentimes, numerous stores will have Black Friday deals on the exact same item, so shoppers will want to make sure they are getting the best bang for their buck. 5. Look for early bird shopper discounts: Check flyers and websites for doorbuster deals that can only be redeemed during the earliest hours of Black Friday. Many stores only have a certain quantity of doorbuster items, so shoppers should aim to be at the beginning of any lines that form outside the door. 6. Map out your day: Shoppers should make a plan of which stores they need to visit at which times. Because of door-

busters and limited quantities of certain hot items, shoppers need to plan accordingly. Choose to visit the stores with the best deals first. 7. Familiarize yourself with the stores: In case of long lines or crowds, shoppers should be familiar with stores’ layouts. By knowing where items are located within the store, shoppers have a better chance of snagging the items at the top of their lists. 8. Bring ads with you on Black Friday: In case of confusion, shoppers should carry all Black Friday ads with them. Because the day can be confusing for shoppers and store employees alike, it is better to have the printed materials displaying Black Friday deals. 9. Stay focused: And because the day can be confusion and a bit crazy, shoppers

SHOPPING MALLS throughout Pennsylvania will be bustling with customers for the next several weeks. The shopping season officially begins on Nov. 23 or “Black Friday.” Shopping tips, from page 10 should stay focused on their goals. By sticking to the list they created a few days before, shoppers will have a much better Black Friday experience. 10. Only shop the deals: Focus your time and energy Bon lack Friday exclusives and save the rest of your Christmas list for later. Black Friday sales are for one day and one day only. They are a must get. Other items may

go on sale closer to the holidays, so they can wait. 11. Ask for gift receipts: No matter the day, shoppers should always ask for gift receipts. But in the hustle and bustle of Black Friday, colors, sizes and many other options may be forgotten. By asking for a gift receipt, shoppers make it much easier to return a Black Friday purchase. 12. Use store credit cards: Some stores offer extra discounts on Black Friday merchandise if

shoppers use store specific credit cards. But shoppers must make sure they don’t max out these cards. Black Friday can be an exciting shopping experience, so all shoppers should set a limit and stick to it. 13. Get enough rest to deal with the crowds: Because no one likes to deal with a cranky shopper, make sure to get enough sleep. Being wide awake while shopping during the wee hours of Friday morning will make the

much needed coffee. 15. Shop online on Cyber Monday: And don’t forget the great deals found online on the Monday after Black Friday. This day is for all those shoppers who can’t deal with the crowds or for those who would much rather do their holiday shopping in their pajamas. Many Cyber Monday deals provide shopper with similar discounts to Black Friday, allowing them to save while in the comfort of their own home.

day run much more smoothly. 14. Use the buddy system: Always carpool with a friend when Black Friday shopping. Friends can be great shopping companions, a good shoulder to cry on when a deal was missed or someone to complain to when that lady cuts in front of you in line. Even if shoppers don’t have to head to the same stores on Black Friday, still car pool with someone. Set a time to meet back at the car to head out for some

BEA powder puff game raises money for charity By MARJORIE S. MILLER mmiller@centrecountygazette.com

WINGATE — On Nov. 11 on the football field at Bald Eagle Area High School, 54 high school junior and senior girls battled it out at the school’s annual powder puff game. Donned in custom-made sweatshirts and brightly colored leggings, the girls were applauded by coaches, male cheerleaders and family and friends. But they weren’t just playing football. They were raising money in the fight against breast cancer. Sharon Nilson, a powder puff co-advisor, said although this is the 28th year the school has hosted a powder puff game, this is only the second year it has raised money for breast cancer awareness. “(This year) they chose the PA Breast Cancer Coalition because the money raised stays in Pennsylvania to help breast cancer patients and survivors,” Nilson, a computer lab monitor, said. Last year’s game benefited Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Nilson said it’s important that high school girls learn about breast cancer because the disease can affect anyone.

“It doesn’t matter your age, race or genetic background,” she said. “Girls need to learn early that doing self-exams and seeing your gynecologist yearly is a beneficial way of early detection for any kind of cancer … insurance companies will not cover mammograms until the age of 40, (and that) could be too late for a diagnosis for some people.” Before the game the girls were given pink ribbons and bracelets to wear, courtesy of the PA Breast Cancer Coalition. Nilson said focusing on being proactive with health, instead of reactive, is something that should be taught early on. “I think the girls need to learn that too, (to) take care of yourself now, pay attention to what your body is telling you, eat right, exercise … A little bit of precaution and common sense will go a long way in everyone’s life.” Another reason the “pink” game benefits young girls, Nilson said, is that it gives them a chance to talk about family members that have had breast cancer, and how it has affected them. “It is one way to open dialog and have them think about this issue and how it could … affect

them now or later in life,” she said. “I don’t like the thought (of) people being scared (of ) doing self-exams or seeing a doctor.” Nilson said 26 senior girls and 28 junior girls played in the Nov. 11 game. The seniors beat the juniors, 32-6. Working with co-advisor Vaughn Donmoyer, a technology education teacher, Nilson said she helped prepare the girls for the game through weeks of evening practices, starting at the beginning of the month. “We practiced the whole week, Monday through Thursday (from) 6 to 8 on the football field under the lights,” Nilson said. “The boys would first get everyone warmed up and stretched out, then they would break them into groups to work on individual abilities and skills. Before practice finished they would start to run through the plays.” Nilson said the girls played very well, and had a lot of fun. “The girls really put their hearts and souls into playing,” she said. “It’s almost scary how rough they can be out on the football field. I sometimes think they should play regular football.” As a result of the game, more

AT THE ANNUAL powder puff football game on Nov. 11, two teams from Bald Eagle Area slugged it out to raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness. than $1,500 was raised for the PA Breast Cancer Coalition, Nilson said. “Our hopes for next year will be to raise even more money for breast cancer awareness and research, and to help people who are currently undergoing treatment,” she said. “As we do this every year we get a little better. I

hope the girls see the importance of this effort and remember it for a lifetime.” Those who wish to make a donation to the PA Breast Cancer Coalition may send it to Nilson’s attention at BEASD, 751 S. Eagle Valley Road, Wingate, PA 16823. Checks should be made payable to BEA Student Government.

The food was donated by the American Legion Post members, its Women’s Auxiliary and patrons of the legion’s bar and restaurant.

TIME

Penn State avoids second-half collapse, blows out Indiana By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Not this time. It may have looked like a repeat of Ohio State or Nebraska was brewing when Indiana scored the first nine points in the third quarter to creep to within easy striking distance of the Nittany Lions. But it wasn’t. This time Penn State struck back with 17 unanswered points, and the Penn State defense, scorched for over 450 passing yards by the Hoosiers, pitched a shutout for the rest of the game. And this time Penn State won going away, 45-22, for its seventh win of the season and fifth win in the Big Ten. Matt McGloin and Allen Robinson both had career days for the Lions. McGloin passed for a career high 395 yards and four touchdowns, while Robinson caught 10 passes for 197 yards and three of those touchdowns. Zach Zwinak ran again for over 100 yards, with 135 on 29 carries, and scored two touchdowns, and Michael Zordich added another 49 and a touchdown. The defense may have given up a ton of passing yards, but it gave up only 24 yards on the ground and made two big interceptions, including one by Adrian Amos inside the 10-yard line. In all, it was a day of many highs for the Nittany Lions, and one very deep low — Michael Mauti suffered a season-ending knee injury in the second quarter and was taken off the field on a cart. After the injury to Mauti, Penn State showed its resilience — as it has for the whole season and, in fact, for the whole year of 2012 — by adjusting and then taking care of business against the Hoosiers. “I think this team’s a bunch of resilient

guys,” Penn State coach Bill O’Brien said. “Again, when a guy like that, who’s a leader on your football team, goes down in a game, I think it was a good response. “We have a bunch of veterans on defense, with Gerald Hodges, Glenn Carson, Jordan Hill, and Stephon Morris. We have a bunch of guys that have played a lot of football. They did what they had to do and I think we got the offense going there around the second quarter.” With McGloin completing passes to eight different receivers, including Robinson’s 10 receptions, four to Brandon Moseby-Felder, and three more to Matt Lehman, and Zwinak’s rushing, the Nittany Lion offense was going most of the afternoon. Penn State scored first on a 26-yard pass from McGloin to Robinson in the first quarter. Indiana came back to take a 10-7 lead on a touchdown pass to tight end Ted Bolser and a field goal by Mitch Ewald early in the second quarter. McGloin, however, helped the Lions rally back with three touchdown passes in the second quarter. First, he hit Robinson on a short screen pass that the athletic sophomore, spinning and dodging, took 53 yards into the end zone for a 14-10 Penn State lead. Then, McGloin found Robinson again, this time for 10 yards and a 21-13 PSU lead with 2:25 left in the quarter. Finally, with just 31 seconds left before halftime, McGloin found Zwinak open along the left sideline for a 16-yard TD and a 28-13 Penn State halftime lead. “As a quarterback,” McGloin said, “you have to get him (Robinson) the ball and when he has the ball in his hands, you have to let him make his plays. He played one of his best games of his career today. Hopefully, he will finish strong next week. He is one of the best wide receivers, probably in

the nation.” Penn State was far from being safe at this point, though. The Hoosiers scored first after halftime on a 79yard swing-pass and run from quarterback Cameron Coffman to Stephen Houston that made the score 28-19. After a surprise onside kick, the Hoosiers made it 28-22 — and caused a lot of murmuring in the PSU crowd — with a 46-yard Ewald field goal with 8:34 to play in the quarter. But that would be it for Indiana. It was all Penn State from there. McGloin guided two long touchdown drives before the end of the third quarter, both ended by one of the Penn State Zbacks — the first on a one-yard run by Zwinak, the second on a four-yarder by Zordich. Sam Ficken added a field goal in the fourth quarter — his seventh in a row — as the Nittany Lions closed out the win that insures them of a winning season. “These kids are a really fun bunch of guys to coach,” O’Brien said. “They work extremely hard, they’re smart. Just seeing improvement all year, it’s just a very, very

They love to practice. They love to lift weights, and they love to condition. That bodes well for the future of Penn State football.” In the immediate future for Penn State is this week’s season finale against 7-4 Wisconsin, who lost last week to Ohio State, 21-14, in overtime. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. at Beaver Stadium.

Former walk-on McGloin is PSU’s MVP I remember having a conversation with a friend of mine well over a year ago. “I just can’t believe Matt McGloin is our starting quarterback,” he said. “He’s a walk-on. We’re Penn State. We can do better than that.” I was flabbergasted. “Who do you want in there? Rob Bolden? Paul Jones? Face it,” I said, “McGloin’s the best quarterback on this team. He’ll be fine.” Turns out, he was more than fine. A year later and a year wiser, we know that Penn State couldn’t do better than Matt McGloin. In fact, as it turns out, Penn State was lucky to have McChris Morelli is the Gloin in the blue and editor of the Centre white. County Gazette.

football, there will be no bowl game for McGloin, first-year coach Bill O’Brien and his charges. It might not be fair, but that’s just the way it is. McGloin’s journey has been an interesting one. He saw his first significant playing time on Oct. 23, 2010, on the road against the Minnesota Golden Gophers. In that game, Bolden — you remember him — was scrambling around in the second quarter when he got knocked senseless by Minnesota’s Mike Rallis. With then-backup Kevin Newsome on the shelf with the flu, McGloin took the reins of the Penn State offense. After a jittery start, McGloin settled in. He threw a 42-yard touchdown to Derek Moye. It would be the first of many he’d throw for the Nittany Lions. The Lions won that game, 33-21. But success in 2010 didn’t lead to McGloin getting the starting job in 2011. The late Joe Paterno refused to name a starting quarterback and went with a two-headed monster of Bolden and McGloin. Both quarterbacks would see the field. Through four games, McGloin was clearly the better of the two. He had completed 63 percent of his passes, tossing three touchdowns and no interceptions.

Bolden was miserable, completing just 46 percent of his passes with one touchdown and three interceptions. While McGloin looked confident running the Penn State offense, Bolden looked shaky and lost running the show. But for reasons Nittany Nation will likely never know, Joe (and Jay) kept rotating Bolden and McGloin. Finally, though, McGloin earned the starting job. The Nittany Lions kept winning. And while it wasn’t necessarily pretty, they were wins. After a gutty 10-7 win over Illinois on Oct. 29, 2011, McGloin had the Lions poised for a run at a BCS Bowl. Then, disaster struck. On Nov. 5, a Centre County grand jury charged former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky with 40 counts of molesting eight boys from 1998 to 2009. Sandusky was arrested and released on $100,000 bond. Just four days later, Penn State’s Board of Trustees fired Paterno. The team wasn’t the same. Under interim coach Tom Bradley, the squad dropped three of its final four games, including a 3014 drubbing at the hands of Houston in the TicketCity Bowl. McGloin didn’t play in that game after sustaining a concussion in a locker room altercation with wideout Curtis Drake. In January, O’Brien was named the new

coach of the Nittany Lions. It didn’t take him long to bond with McGloin. There would be no mind games, no two-headed monster at quarterback. On June 1, O’Brien named the former walk-on his starter. In July, Bolden was granted a release from his scholarship. He would wind up at LSU. On July 23, the NCAA announced its sanctions against Penn State for its involvement in the child sex abuse scandal. There would be no bowl games for the next four years and players were allowed to transfer, free of restrictions. Although other schools courted McGloin, he didn’t take the bait. He decided to stick it out at Penn State. On Saturday, McGloin’s journey will end. He will run out of the tunnel one last time. His parents, Paul and Cathy, will be there, cheering him on. Sure, McGloin has said — and done — some stupid things. The locker room fight was bad. Blaming the officials for the loss at Nebraska was worse. But in the end, he’s been a very good quarterback and a loyal Lion. When he comes charging out of that tunnel on Saturday, you should stand and cheer long and hard for the fiery redhead from Scranton. He certainly deserves it.

The good, the bad and the ugly It was a bittersweet win for Nittany Nation. Sure, Penn State racked up the points (and yards) against an overmatched Indiana squad. However, the Lions lost their leader when Michael Mauti went down with a season-ending knee injury midway through the first quarter. He returned — on crutches — to the Penn State bench and stood with his teammates to sing the alma mater at the end of Penn State’s seventh win of the season. As Penn State prepares for its season finale with Wisconsin, it’s time to take a look at the good, bad and ugly from Saturday’s 45-22 win over Indiana. ■ The Good: Once again, senior quarterback Matt McGloin showed why he’s one of the best quarterbacks in the Big Ten. He carved up the Indiana defense, completing 22 of 32 for 395 yards and four touchdowns. He threw just one interception. That earned him plenty of accolades from the talking heads, including the fine folks at ESPN. ■ The Bad: If there was one negative to pull from Saturday’s win, it was the fact that running back Zach Zwinak fumbled the football — twice. It brings his season total to five. The second fumble came at a key point in the game, when the Lions were leading 28-19 in the third quarter. “That was a bad fumble that he had today,” Penn State coach Bill O’Brien said, “and he knows that.” O’Brien gave Zwinak a lecture as he left the field. Needless to say, it was well-deserved. ■ The Ugly: Mauti’s first-quarter knee injury was the low point of Saturday’s win. Unfortunately, it was the senior’s final game action at Beaver Stadium. Although O’Brien refused to rule him out for the finale against Wisconsin, Mauti will not play another down for the Lions. He could make a case for a sixth season of eligibility, but he appears to be ready for the next level. Stay tuned. — Chris Morelli

UNIVERSITY PARK — It is a scene familiar to all football fans. A player is down, the trainers run out to attend to him, and the crowd hushes, hoping the injury is not serious. Sometimes, they pop up and jog off. Sometimes they need help, unable perhaps to put much weight on an injured ankle or knee. And sometimes, like in the case on Saturday when Michael Mauti was injured, it looks worse and they have to put him on a cart and go directly to the locker room. Mauti, a senior linebacker who is one of the outspoken and emotional leaders of the Nittany Lion team, appeared to be seriously hurt in the second quarter when one of the Indiana running backs crashed into Mauti’s left knee. After the game there was no official word on exactly how serious the injury is, but the immediate reactions of the coaches and Mauti’s teammates were of shock, concern, and deep respect for Mauti as a player and as person. “I’ve been fortunate to be around some special players,” Penn State coach Bill O’Brien said. “You’re thinking about some of the players that you’ve had the fortune to coach. I’ve coached the greatest. I’ve coached a hall of fame quarterback, hall of fame receivers, great players, and he’s (Mauti) one of the most special players I’ve been around. Like I said from the day I got here, it’s about that whole senior class. There’s a bunch of special players in that class. He embodies, in my opinion, what Penn State is all about. He’s tough, grind it out, smart. He’s just a fantastic kid.” Ted Roof, the Penn State defensive coordinator who probably spent the most time around Mauti of anyone on the staff said, “He means so much to me personally. From day one and meeting one, our relationship has

gotten nothing but stronger, stronger, and stronger. I totally trust him. “He’s a great kid to be around. He’s the same every day. He’s totally in and he’s totally committed. There’s 100 percent buy-in from him. He is a very, very strong leader. When he talks, our players listen.” With only one game remaining on the schedule, Mauti’s injury seemed to especially affect the seniors on the team who GENE J.

STATE COLLEGE’S Sean King fights off would-be tacklers to pick up extra yardage against DuBois on Friday night at Mansion Park.

TIM WEIGHT/For The Gazette

LITTLE LION quarterback Pat Irwin looks downfield against DuBois in the District 6-9 Class AAAA title game.

Champions! State College manhandles DuBois to capture District 6-9 Class AAAA title By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

ALTOONA — The State College Little Lion defensive players received their District 6-9 Class AAAA championship medals to some of the loudest ovations after Friday night’s 35-13 victory over DuBois at Altoona’s Mansion Park Stadium. With good reason. The State College defense held the high-powered Beavers to 35 points less than their season average, only nine first downs, and less than 200 total yards. DuBois managed only six points until there was less than five minutes to play and, even after its final touchdown, was held to its lowest point total of the season. Add to that three sacks by defensive tackle Evan Galimberti, a pick-six defensive touchdown by Dan Fry, and 139 first half rushing yards by quarterback Pat Irwin and it all amounts to a big win for the Little Lions and an-

other district championship. “We thought we were stronger up front than they were,” State College coach Al Wolski said. “We challenged the defensive line all week to come off the ball and at the same time squeeze the offensive tackle and our defensive end had to blow up the guard who was trapping. That’s their number one play. “We got penetration on that and we also got penetration on passing situations so the defense had a great game. “Again, that was our game plan to challenge the guys up front, and they did a great job.” State College scored the first two times it had the ball, the first after a 13-play, 68 yard drive and the next after a seven-play, 57 yard drive. Darian Hernecane scored the initial touchdown for the Little Lions on a 17-yard pass from Irwin, and then Fry made it 14-0 after a five-yard run on the first play in the second quarter. What followed that touchdown was the most pivotal se-

quence of plays in the game. DuBois, with wildcat quarterback Bryson Paulinellie and running back Garrett Smith leading the way, responded with an eight-play, 67 yard drive to the SC 2-yard line and threatened to get right back into the game. On a second and goal from there, however, Paulinellie fumbled a low snap, and State College recovered. Two plays later, Irwin broke free around right end and outraced the Beaver secondary 89 yards down the right sideline for a touchdown and a 21-0 Little Lion lead that they took into halftime. “I read what they gave me,” Irwin said about his run, “and I saw the end come down and the pitch man go out so I tucked it and ran. There was a great block by one of our guys so it was pretty good. My legs were pretty tired after that run.” DuBois reenergized itself at halftime and scored on its first possession in the third quarter

after an 83-yard drive. Fullback Shane Marshall took it in from the two, and the Beavers were within two scores at 21-7. But after an exchange of punts, Ryan Goeke, who had 82 yards running on 19 carries in the game, got that touchdown back with a five-yard run in the beginning of the fourth quarter. Goeke’s score restored SC’s 21point cushion and put even more pressure on the DuBois offense and its passing game. It also presented another opportunity for the Little Lion defense to exert itself — which it did almost immediately. DuBois, which almost completely ditched its passing attack in favor of the wildcat with Paulinellie, was forced to return to it, but State College was ready. Down again by 21 and on a third-and-long from the Beaver 30-yard line, a Paulinellie pass in the right flat was deflected and Fry picked it off in stride. He sailed untouched into the end zone for a touchdown that gave

State College an overwhelming 35-7 lead. “We were definitely concerned with 21 (Smith),” Wolski said, “and then they put 33 (Paulinellie) in there, and they threw the ball, but the defense answered. I think it was preparation by the defense staff. I think they did a great job preparing, and the kids responded.” DuBois tacked on a final score with just over three minutes yet to play on a 20-yard pass from Paulinellie to Jared Baummer, but from there SC ran out the clock and ended the game with the final score at 35-13. Next for the Little Lions is 6-5 Erie McDowell at 1 p.m. Saturday at Slippery Rock Universirty. The winner of that game advances to the state quarterfinals. “Our schedule was really hard this year,” Irwin said, “and it prepared us this year for the playoffs. I’m glad we get to keep practicing for next weekend. We got to get ready, work hard in practice, and do what we do best.”

Defensively, the Trojans are led by linebacker Riley Warren, defensive back Tarasovitch, and 6-1, 250-pound defensive lineman Joel Mascharka. State College used a balance offense and an impressive defensive performance to topple DuBois last Friday. The Little Lions size and quickness up front wore on DuBois, and the normally high scoring Beavers were held to their lowest point total of the year. State College will have to worry about the size and variety of the McDowell runners and the traditionally very physical nature of the Trojans’ game. “We know McDowell,” State College coach Al Wolski said after

NOVEMBER 21-28, 2012

Without Big Ben, Steelers face a difficult road In a perfect world, injured Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger would have discarded his sling, torn open his hooded sweatshirt to reveal that he was dressed to play the entire time and guided Pittsburgh on a lastminute touchdown drive to defeat the Baltimore Ravens. In reality, it appeared that Byron Leftwich was trying to play out that scenario through the entirety of the Steelers’ 13-10 loss to Baltimore. Leftwich, who filled in as admirably as expected for Roethlisberger on Sunday, looked uncomfortable Shawn Curtis covers the Pittsburgh after landing awkSteelers for the wardly in the end zone Centre County following his 31-yard Gazette. Email him touchdown run less at sports@centre than a minute into the countygazette.com. game. The discomfort on his right side was visible from that moment on. Leftwich grabbed his shoulder or his side after a number of throws and a couple of sacks by

SHAWN CURTIS

Ravens defenders presumably made things worse. While his effectiveness was severely stunted by the discomfort, those who remember Leftwich in his younger days had a feeling that he’d remain in the game if the quarterback had any part of the decision. And when asked following the win, Leftwich wasn’t going to admit feeling any pain. “I’m OK, I’m OK,” Leftwich assured reporters after being asked the obvious question about his condition. This is the same Byron Leftwich who led Marshall on a 17-point comeback in a November 2002 game against Akron on a broken leg. The lasting image from that game was Leftwich being carried by linemen Steve Sciullo and Steve Perretta after a deep completion. You think a pesky little upper-body injury was going to knock Leftwich out? Sure, Charlie Batch took a few warm-up throws on the sideline but he never discarded his jacket or wool hat during that process. In the fourth quarter, Leftwich took a shot from safety James Ihedigbo that left him staggering before gingerly trotting off the field. Leftwich received attention and poten-

tially a quick evalution on the sideline before taking the field one last time. The best possible narrative from this point would have been one where Leftwich guided the Steelers to a gametying or go-ahead drive in the final 65 BYRON LEFTWICH seconds. It didn’t happen. Pittsburgh managed to gain 12 yards on that drive before a desperation play that resembled a poorly played game of Hot Potato resulted in a fumble and eventual Ravens recovery. Leftwich’s stat line wasn’t horrid, but his 18 completions out of 39 attempts for 201 yards and an interception was frustrating to watch especially as his effectiveness and accuracy declined. He did lead the Steelers to 10 points while the Ravens offense was giftwrapped a first-quarter field goal and only managed another field goal in the third. Jacoby Jones’ 63-yard punt return marked the Ravens lone appearance in the end zone. Even when Leftwich’s trademark veloci-

ty waned, his awareness and unexpected ability to extend plays gave the Steelers opportunities to move the ball when plays broke down. For those who need evidence, seek out the video of Leftwich’s jump-shot like pass to Jonathan Dwyer in the fourth quarter. Leftwich instinctively stepped away to avoid an oncoming Paul Kruger right into the grasp of two converging Ravens defenders but not before a quick dink pass to Dwyer allowed the emerging Steelers running back a chance to fight his way to an eventual first down. Then again, Leftwich’s performance did impress his coach. “I thought it was great,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. “We knew that this was going to be a Baltimore-Steelers type football game. It was going to be nip and tuck. I thought it was great. Obviously, not enough plays by him or by any of the rest of us to secure victory.” With Roethlisberger’s health likely to be in constant conversation and overanalysis, Leftwich’s abilities to guide the offense shouldn’t be in question as long as his abilities aren’t hampered by a nagging injury. Just don’t expect him to leave the game without a fight as long as he can walk off the field, or get a helpful ride from a pair of teammates.

Volleyball players sign letters of intent

The Glass Eye: Giving thanks in 2012 Thanksgiving is upon us, and with it my annual column dedicated to giving thanks — mainly for things in the sports world, but also for a few other items I’ll get to at the end. We spend most of the year complaining about everything from poor scouting to crazy labor stoppages to bad officials’ calls (and then, of course, we complain about replacement refs more than anything!) ... but I think it’s important to keep sports in perspective and remember that we watch the games and root so passionately just for the sheer fun of it. In the scheme of things, sports mean nothing; as I’ve said before they are the “toy department” of life and while I take them as seriously as the next guy, I think it’s important to occasionally step back and put everything in perspective. So, here are a few of the things I’m thankful for in the world of sports in 2012: Dave Glass is a ■ I’m thankful that the entire footcolumnist for The ball world is finally taking concussions Centre County more seriously.

Many saw this as a very bad sign for the league — on the contrary, I agree with SportsOnEarth.com’s Mike Tanier that this was a very good sign for the future of the game. As Mr. Tanier points out, consider that the probable headlines even five to seven years ago would likely not have even mentioned any injuries, and the concussed players probably would have been allowed to continue playing without any diagnosis of a concussion. The players would have been described as “having their bell rung” and in the unlikely event one of the injured players voluntarily did not return to the game, various columnists would question that man’s heart, grit or character. In high school, coaches now have to complete concussion awareness training and are held solely responsible for properly protecting their players — particularly those who show signs of a concussion. The culture is slowly but surely changing — ankles, knees, even shoulders and backs can be injured yet still allow a reasonably normal post-football

life, but the brain is the essence of human life and any injury to it should be treated with the utmost care and respect. ■ I’m thankful for the brilliance and spectacle that was the 2012 London Olympics. What a show that was. Lots of drama, the USA athletes acquitted themselves well, and the host nation had their best Olympic medal showing ever. Perhaps just as importantly, the Games were very short on controversy, allowing the world to enjoy all the best of athletic competition without some of the ugly distractions that have dogged past Olympics. Brazil has a high bar to clear after the good work by Great Britain. ■ I’m thankful for the scrutiny that the replacement NFL referees generated on a much-maligned profession. As I said at the time, referees are like kickers — you never notice them until you get a bad one. The replacement refs did their best, but they were in over their heads — and by Week Three, the entire sporting world saw it. Competent officiating is crucial to all athletic endeavors, and while the pro officials get all the TV time there are thousands of amateur officials all over this nation making sure kids of all ages learn to play their games fairly. The players are the show, and always will be, and refs will always catch flak for missed calls — but take a moment this Thursday and appreciate the work that officials do to keep games moving smoothly at all levels. ■ When it comes to hockey and particularly the lockout, all I can say is I’m thankful that my livelihood does not depend on the whether the games be played. Hopefully this week’s negotiations can bear some fruit — if not, I’ll have a lot more to say about this issue next week. ■ Now for my non-sports thoughts this Thanksgiving season: 2012 has been a year of polarization in so many ways. The rhetoric surrounding this election was as passionate/divisive/angry as I’ve ever heard — yet at the end of the day, our great democracy prevailed and the people chose our governmental leaders for the next two to four years. Whether you voted for the winners or the losers, whether you’re liberal, conservative, or somewhere in between, let’s all be thankful that our votes still decide our leaders and let’s all hope for increased bipartisanship and a renewed focus on what is best for the country rather than what’s best for either party. ■ Finally, on a personal note I’m thankful for the journey my son has taken. I’m writing this while on my way to Parris Island, S.C., to see his graduation from Marine basic training. I adopted him when he was 6 and his life has been full of ups and downs to say the least — if you’d have asked me a year ago, I’d have expressed doubt that he’d be able to graduate high school, much less master a challenge as tough as Marine boot camp. He has grown up so much in the past year and I cannot wait to see how much more mature he is after this achievement. His success is a reminder to me that no one’s fate is predetermined — everyone, no matter what challenges they’ve faced, can overcome their past mistakes and achieve success. Congratulations, Gage. I’m very proud of you. Enjoy your families, be thankful for what you have, and have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Future Looks Bright Penn State men’s and women’s recruiting classes are top notch By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — It wasn’t that long ago that winters around the Penn State campus seemed even more desolate than they actually were because the wrestlers and both basketball teams were struggling. Now after two consecutive NCAA national wrestling championships, the women’s basketball team’s Big Ten Championship and march into the Sweet 16 last season, and the hiring of Pat Chambers by the men’s team, all of that has changed. And now with the announcements of the men’s and women’s 2013-14 basketball recruiting classes, the future is looking even brighter. The 3-0 and No. 9 ranked women’s basketball team will lose five important seniors from this year’s squad after the season, but don’t worry. Help is on the way. Penn State coach Coquese Washington announced that the Lady Lions have signed seven players to 2013-14 letters of intent, the largest in school history. The class is ranked No. 6 nationally by Collegiate Girls Basketball Report and No. 7 by Blue Star Basketball. It includes six players ranked by the Basketball Report in the top 100 in the country. The class includes guards Lindsey Spann (Md.), KeKe Sevillian (Mich.), forwards Jenn DeGraaf (Ohio), Kaliyah Mitchell (Ga.), Peyton Whitted (Ga.), Alexs Harris (Ohio), and center Infiniti Alston (Md.) and is a group that Washington says will add “size and skill at every position.� Spann, the most highly rated of the group, is a 5-6 guard from Good Council High in Laurel, Md. She averaged 15 ppg as a junior and was pretty much all-everything in the DC area. She will be, according to Washington, “The next great point guard to suit up for the Lady Lions.�

Up front, the class has good size. DeGraaf is 6-1, Mitchell is 6-2, Whitted is 62, Harris is 6-3, and Alston is 6-5. Alston averaged 14 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 blocks per game as a junior at Digital Harbor High School in Baltimore. “She had soft hands, quick feet, and knows how to get into position,� Washington said. “I am absolutely thrilled to add these young ladies to the Penn State family,� Washington said. “It is an outstanding collection of the best talent the nations has to offer.� Over on the men’s side, Patrick Chambers signed four highly regarded recruits, two from Pennsylvania, one from California, and one from Minnesota. The prize seems to be 6-3 guard Geno Thorpe from Pittsburgh Shaler.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT ‘Scrooge: The Musical’ coming to State Theatre By ANNE WALKER For The Gazette

STATE COLLEGE — It starts like this: In a church hall on a windy night, Richard Biever, State Theatre executive director, sits at a piano striking the chords and notes that accompany the cast of “Scrooge: The Musical.” A total of 30 vocalists hold sheet music as voices mingle and harmonize in the melodies they will present onstage at the State Theatre next month. Biever, who directs the show, singles out each voice. “Let me hear sopranos only,” he said. Once the women sing the part, he asks for altos, then basses, then tenors. When he tells them to sing together, the different voices blend into a true chorus. At one point, he directs a singer to shout her solo line, ‘he’s a rascal!’ “You’re a crazy beggar woman,” he tells her, “don’t worry about singing it, just make

it loud!” She sounds a bit more emphatic on the next try. Biever has produced shows at the State Theatre since 2006. “Scrooge” will mark the first holiday show the State Theatre has done in conjunction with the State College Community Theatre. Everyone involved, from the cast to the musicians and stage hands are local volunteers.

If you go What: “Scrooge: The Musical” When: 7:30 p.m., Dec. 14; 2 and 7:30 p.m., Dec. 15; 2 p.m., Dec. 16 Where: State Theatre, 130 W. College Ave., State College Tickets: Call (814) 272-0606 or visit www.thestatetheatre.org. “Although the State Theatre does host national acts,” Biever said, “we want to keep it available and affordable for local groups.”

As an intimate venue, the State Theatre can, Biever feels, help establish a sense of community, one of the major themes of the text that “Scrooge” draws from. “A Christmas Carol,” the Charles Dickens work that introduced the world to Ebenezer Scrooge, has a slightly dark theme running through it. “You have a very rich man who uses his money to hurt people instead of helping them,” Biever observed, “and a sick little boy who will die because his family can’t afford health care.” This theme seems particularly pertinent, a testament to the timelessness of Dickens’ writing. Of course the musical takes liberties and presents the story in an upbeat way. The actors will adopt Cockney accents. They will wear Victorian costumes and move about in choreography created by veteran dance instructor Jill Brighton. And the songs have an uplifting, jovial feel to them. First presented as a screen

“SCROOGE: THE MUSICAL” opens at the State Theatre on Dec. 14 and runs through Dec. 16. musical in 1970, “Scrooge: The Musical” starred English actor Albert Finney and featured music and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse. Since then, it has become a holiday classic. Within a month, Biever will work with his cast to perfect their vocalizations, project their characters and, with Brighton’s choreography, to fill the stage with

lively reels. The beggar woman’s voice will strengthen as her character develops. And the Victorian era will come to life. The show will open at the State Theatre on Dec. 14 and run through Dec. 16. Until then, Biever, Brighton and the cast will strive to perfect every line, note and gesture in ways that would make Dickens proud.

Publisher wins national award From Gazette staff reports LEMONT — Eifrig Publishing, an independent publisher located in Lemont, has won its fourth national book award in the past two years: a silver medal from Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards. The award was presented for New York artist Andrea Songwater and her book, “Where We Once Gathered, Lost Synagogues in Europe.” Songwater’s book presents to children 20 synagogues in watercolor in their pre-war settings in the midst of their European communities; all of the synagogues in the book were destroyed during the Holocaust. The Moonbeam awards are intended to bring increased recognition to exemplary children’s books and their creators, and to celebrate children’s books and lifelong reading.

‘Madagascar 3’ does not disappoint By ROY MORRIS For The Gazette

There is no doubting the superior quality of the work that comes out of the Dreamworks Animation Studios these days. The “Shrek” series, “Shark Tale,” “Over the Hedge,” “How to train your dragon,” “Kung Fu Panda” and “Puss in Boots” are all a testament to that. The latest offering — the third outing in the “Madagascar” series, simply continues that tradition. Directed by Eric Darnell, Tom McGrath and Conrad Vernon, the acting talent let loose on screen here is quite staggering. No less than 10 major stars are involved and it shows. With Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Jada PinkettSmith, David Schwimmer, Sacha Baron-Cohen, Cedric the Entertainer, Frances MacDormand, Jessica Chastain, Bryan Cranston and Martin Short, the character development and comedy timing on display is second to none and it is a treat — pure and simple. “Madagascar 3: Europe’s most Wanted” has earned over $700 million worldwide and the most successful in the series, but with a $145 million price tag, and all these stars to pay, it better had. There was really no need to worry, though. The third installment was assured of being a hit primarily because of one simple factor — the script. Noah Baumbach and Eric Darnell’s script sparkles with wit and wisdom from the start. The story follows our heroes, Alex,

Marty, Melman and Gloria, on a trek to Monte Carlo to find their friends, The Penguins, who they believe they need to help them get back home to New York. Unfortunately, animal control officer — Captain Chantel DuBois (Voiced brilliantly by Frances MacDormand) has other ideas, and is after Alex’s head as a trophy. During a relentless pursuit they hide out in a traveling circus to evade capture. Of course, the ensuing mayhem that follows is filled with both danger and elation all rolled into one. The result is classic cartoon magic. Although the entire cast delivers some wonderful characters, it is Chris Rock as Marty and Sacha BaronCohen as Julien that are the stand-out performances for me. Their characters are now so perfectly balanced and lovingly realized within this movie that I could not imagine it without them. To say that they are hilariously funny is most certainly an understatement. Another great thing about this movie is the fact that the humor can be enjoyed by both adult and child alike and that, again, is down to an extremely well written script. I also have to mention the breathtaking animation which, in itself, is a glorious display of technological and artistic design that meets the needs of the script to perfection — cartoons have certainly come along way. These new-wave of CGI (Computer Generated Image) animation movies that have come along in the last few years have thrown up some

classics and garnered many awards, not to mention some huge box office returns — “Toy Story 3” (Disney/Pixar) alone earned over a billion dollars and the “Shrek” and “Ice Age” (Fox Animation) franchises have earned almost six billion dollars combined. But there is one single factor that seems to keep striking the right chords throughout these movies and that is the sense of camaraderie and friendship and the heartfelt themes that make them irresistable viewing for all the family. Ever since John Lasseter created "Toy Story" back in 1995 (and is considered to be the “Godfather” of the CGI cartoon) he changed animated movies forever with his socialistic, idiosyncratic approach to these “non-human” and “human-like” characters and they grabbed us all by the heart and, to this day, have never let go. As Disney did back in the 30s and 40s, now Lasseter and subsequent animators like Eric Darnell have done again, they have given us movies that we will love and cherish for the rest of our lives. I know, as with the Disney movies, I will be showing these to my grandchildren in years to come and they will be loved all over again. Rating: Five stars (out of five). Running time: 95 minutes.

NOVEMBER 21-28, 2012

Your market is constantly changing As you formulate your business marketing plan for 2013, keep in mind that your market is constantly changing. While attending local business functions, I often hear business owners say they don’t need to market their business because they have been in business for many, many years and everyone knows who they are. This attitude can be a terrible pitfall which can result in lost business and the erosion of market Janet Chambers is share. president and State College parowner of Beacon ticularly has a very Marketing Solutransient population. tions, a marketing There are students communications firm serving Central coming in and out of Pennsylvania.

also have new competition as businesses grow or start-up on our area. Here are some ideas to help promote your business in a changing marketplace: 1. Cross sell your products and services to other aligned businesses. Customers in a store often ask where they should go eat or where to purchase certain items; you want to make sure the customer service staff send potential customers to you and not across town. This is especially true of younger sales clerks who may not be familiar with where to purchase items like carpet or paint, since they have not needed to purchase these items before. If you have a retail store, make sure the adjacent stores know who you are and what products you sell. Ask store owners if you can educate the store staff on your products and services and provide reciprocal training with your own staff as well. At a minimum, provide other stores with a simple line card that lists your most popular products or services. 2. Cross-sell current customers about all your products and services. A customer may come to you for one product or service and not realize you have other items they may need in the future. Teach your staff to mention products or services they think a customer might be interested in. For instance, a restaurant server could

How to invest, postelection We are finally through with all the campaigning and related advertising about this and that and all the dire things that will happen when whomever is elected. We are getting four more years of the current administration and the Democrat Senate (Harry “No Budget” Reid) and the same tax increase blocking Republican (John Boehner) House of Representatives. So what was settled with the election? In a word, nothing. All the unresolved issues that were debated and talked about by voters, pundits, news anchors, politicians, Daniel Nestlerode is economists and busithe CEO of Nestleness leaders are still rode & Loy in State staring us in the face. College and a So where are we columnist for StateCollege.com. now? Researchers at the ECRI (Economic Cycle Research Institute) indicated in September that the U.S. economy had already slid back into a recession. This is in spite of the fact that the third quarter GDP grew at 2 percent (that number will be revised a couple more times until we get to the final number). In October the Federal Reserve under chairman Ben Bernanke embarked on Quantitative Easing III or QE III or more sarcastically “QEternity.” In my 47 years as an investment adviser, I have never seen such an extended period of stimulus by the Federal Reserve. Historically, such programs were for relatively short periods; designed to get the growth of the economy back up to speed. This time, it hasn’t worked. What has happened is that the investment returns required by retired investors for retirement expenses have been nearly non- existent, forcing investors to riskier investments to provide this needed income. In addition, asset prices have climbed, driven by cheaper money making the stock market perform relatively well despite the moribund economy. Now Bernanke tells us he will keep interest rates low for as long as it takes unemployment to be substantially lower than the present numbers, around 8 percent as currently calculated. The real unadjusted numbers are more like 16 percent if you use the formulas from the preClinton years. In my opinion, Bernanke’s notions are disingenuous at best as there is

DANIEL NESTLERODE

very little more the Federal Reserve can do to address unemployment. Monetary policy is the wrong tool to use to impact unemployment, no matter how hard you swing the hammer. In addition to the Fed’s actions, the White House and Congress are now beginning to address the supposed Fiscal Cliff, a combination of tax increases and spending cuts that will start Jan. 1 if nothing is done. We have essentially backed ourselves into the corner and must do something to fix continuing mammoth federal budget deficits that have accompanied the Obama Administration. Spending is currently running more than a trillion dollars over tax receipts annually with little hope for any improvement in the future, near term or long term, unless we tax more or spend less or do both. Of course, all this conversation about economic issues might just be rather a distraction from the increased warfare in the Middle East, from Libya, Syria, Iran and Israel. We have a lot at stake in keeping that region in a relatively peaceful mode. Unfortunately, our efforts seem to be failing as each side is stepping up their terrorist and military activities. This could be a serious issue for us budget-wise at the federal level, in addition to QE III and the Fiscal Cliff. All of this conversation is germane to the question, where do I invest my money now for a relatively low risk and reasonable rate of return? I thought as I got older that this question would get easier as I accumulated more experience. Foolish me. The investment question is now more difficult than in any of my 47 years of directing client money to what I thought was the right place at the time. I note that the risk of sudden sharp losses seems to be higher now than at any time except the 1987 stock market crash, the tech bubble implosion around the turn of the century and the financial implosion of 2007-08. The markets never fully recovered from the 2000 or 2007 highs and now seem to be poised to move lower despite the actions of the Federal Reserve. Long ago some smart advisers noted that it was foolish to fight the Fed, meaning that you should invest depending on whether the Federal Reserve was stimulating the economy (buying normally - like this time) or selling if the Fed was raising interest rates and contracting the money supply to slow the economy. That notion might just be obsolete in today’s circumstances. Like I said, it isn’t easy knowing where to invest safely.

remind customers about banquet room rentals or catering services. Business-tobusiness companies can cross-sell products or services using invoice stuffers, refer a friend promotions or invoice statement messages. 3. Evaluate HOW you provide products and services to customers. Since your market is changing, you should take time to really understand what your customers are looking for. For instance, if you have a restaurant or service company, you might consider ways to bring your services to customers who can’t drive by providing a delivery service. Perhaps you need a drive up window or a call-in-advance for pickup service. 4. Find new ways to make customers feel at home. Your customers may be doing things differently than they did 10 or 20 years ago. It always surprises me when a restaurant is not child-friendly. Today’s younger generation take their children to restaurants often and expect to find a kid’s menu, coloring books and cups with straws. Think about how your customers’ lifestyles are changing and incorporate new conveniences into your business. For instance, I’ve seen many banks that offer teller windows where a customer can sit down. 5. Bundle products or services with

other aligned businesses. Restaurants can offer discounts to local hotel customers; hotels might offer spa services; and the spa company might offer a coupon to a local ladies clothing store. Even business-tobusiness companies can take advantage of this type of promotion. For example, a web design company might provide discounts to a local computer provider or an electrical company might leave a list of reputable plumbers when they go on a service call. The idea is to find aligned businesses that you promote, so those businesses then promote your company too. 6. Remember to tell people in your ads exactly where you are located. Not everyone has or uses a GPS! I hate it when an address is listed as XXX College Ave. It would be helpful to put a map in the ad or list a recognizable landmark, such as 123 College Ave., next to the McDonalds. People travel to State College to show from over an hour away all the time, and you want to make sure they can find your business easily. The bottom line is to be creative, keep an eye on how your customers are changing, and find ways to cross-market your products and services using other businesses and your own staff. By incorporating these ideas into your marketing plan you will staying ahead of the ball instead of following it.

Local tech company turns attention to iPads, clipboards From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — Frustrated with having to juggle a clipboard and his iPhone when trying to reference an email and take notes at the same time, Kevin Merilini, an accounting student, and some of his friends set out to solve this problem of using these two office tools at the same time. The students came up with a clipboard with a powerful industrial strength suction cup-based holder, to help productivity and hold the iPhone in place. Dubbed Clipboard+, the new product gives users the ability to use their iPhone without the difficulty of jotting down notes with old-fashioned pen and paper at the same time. The students formed a company, Quip-

Co, and turned to engineering students in assistant professor Jason Moore’s ME 440 class to design a more productive way of using an iPad and clipboard simultaneously with the same goal of maximizing efficiency. The work became the students’ engineering senior capstone design project, a semester-long effort where companies bring real-world problems for Penn State engineering students to solve. Combining the iPad and clipboard took a simple flip. The Clipboad+ takes you from paper on one side to the iPad on the other but in one office tool. The team of engineering students devised a product that is an aluminum sheet with the sides bent into channels and foam to protect the sides of the iPad when it is slid into the channels.
