People’s Choice celebrates 20 years in Boalsburg By SAMI HULINGS For The Gazette

BOALSBURG — For almost 20 years, Jacalynn McCord, owner of Lion Paw Pottery, has been a staple at People’s Choice Festival of Pennsylvania Arts and Crafts — and this past weekend was no different. As a Penn State art education graduate and former art teacher, McCord creates pottery full time by throwing high-fire stoneware clay on a wheel. Because of her strong ties to the university, McCord features a specific line aimed at Penn State alums and fans, complete with Nittany Lion paw prints.

“It’s great for tailgating and things like that. It’s all functional ware. You can use it for baking for just serving things,” she said. The festival’s close proximity to Penn State and local feel is why McCord believes it is the perfect place to sell her pottery and catch up with former classmates. She said as an alum, she sees friends from college, as well as friends of her daughters, who are fourth-generation Penn State graduates. “Penn Staters always find me no matter where I am. Penn State alums are a class of their own, no

Community invited to come out for Kids Day By MARJORIE S. MILLER mmiller@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Sen. Jake Corman’s vision of giving families an opportunity to spend time together in the community will come to life again this year at Kids Day with the Spikes, held from noon to 2 p.m. on July 21 at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. The event, which was started in 2007 by Corman, R-Centre, aims to provide a fun and informative opportunity for families, said Brandy Reiter, executive assistant for Corman’s office. “State College Spikes players are there to sign autographs and take pictures, and we have numerous non-profit businesses and agencies that participate,” Reiter said, such as police departments, state agencies, Boy and Girl Scouts

and youth camps. Reiter said in previous years, the event has drawn as many as 800 people. “Sen. Corman very much enjoys this event and it is important to him as a way to provide an opportunity for families to be able to spend time together in a fun and educational way at no cost to them,” she said. Most vendors will bring items to hand out to the kids, and have games they can play, Reiter said. Additionally, there will be a variety of door prizes, such as a Spikes autographed replica jersey and a Spikes autographed bat, donated by the Spikes, she said. “Sen. Corman is there for the entire event and is able to greet families, hand out door prizes and help anyone that

STATE COLLEGE — It’s time to become more aware, Centre County. On the heels of the Freeh report, advocates for children say it’s clear that a change needs to take place. According to Cameron Frantz, director of community outreach for the Centre County YMCA, people need to start talking — now. “Child sex abuse is such a taboo topic,” Frantz said. “But it’s an epidemic. By the time children are 18, one in four boys will be abused and one in six girls will be abused. As a society, we don’t want to deal with that. We have to stop it, we have to prevent it.” With that in mind, Stewards of Children will hold trainings aimed at prevention, awareness and education. According to Andrea Boyles, CEO of the Centre County Youth

UNIVERSITY PARK — With the release of former FBI director Louis Freeh’s report, the integrity of Joe Paterno, the Penn State football program and Penn State Un i v e r s i t y as a whole has been thrown into question. For some Penn State LOUIS FREEH fans in the area who have been following the scandal from the beginning, the report came as no great surprise. Jessica Billet, of Sunbury, said by Saturday morning she had read every page of the Freeh report. She said though the information stated in the independent report done by Freeh didn’t shock her, she hopes its release will help to show that not everyone with a tie to Penn State is at fault. “I don’t think you can hold a group of individuals responsible for the whole university. Yes, they

were power players at the university, but not everybody at the university should be punished for what they did,” she said. Billet also said she was pleased with the way Freeh investigated the university and how he presented his findings in a non-biased way to the public. “I think they did a great job investigating in the time they took. I think that given the circumstances, they could only talk to so many people. The people that they could talk to, they got and they did what they needed to do,” she said. The Freeh report was released on July 12 and claimed that Paterno and other top Penn State officials concealed what they knew about Jerry Sandusky’s sexual abuse of children. The 267-page report on the Sandusky scandal asserted that Paterno and senior Penn State officials made a decision to protect Sandusky to avoid damaging the image of the school and its powerful football program. Penn State’s internal investigation into one of the worst scandals in sports history is unlikely to settle the debate about Pater-

Service Bureau, the Stewards of Children training is an invaluable tool. “By now, we’ve all thought about this, how to talk about it, how to deal with it,” Boyles said. “There’s an opportunity to learn more and that’s where the Stewards of Children training comes in. In our current culture, we are so afraid to ANDREA BOYLES say something. We need to put these children first.” The Stewards of Children program is the only nationally available program proven to increase knowledge, improve attitudes

Like McCord, Lisa Ghaner of Spring Mills, said she enjoys the local feel of the festival, which this year ran from July 12-15. “I like that it’s in Boalsburg. I think local is big thing. I think Boalsburg is the perfect setting for this. It’s just – it’s this hometown feeling. I feel like it’s really part of the community,” she said. Ghaner said the local flavor allows for a large amount of diversity in art. Because of this, she never fails to bring home many different pieces of art including jewelry and drawings. She also believes the atmosphere at People’s Choice is inviting, causing visitors to be more at ease and to feel at home. “The artists are just extremely friendly. They invite you into the booth.

Spanier withdraws his lawsuit By LAURA NICHOLS StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Former Penn State President Graham Spanier voluntarily dropped his civil case against the university, in which he was trying to obtain emails, per court documents filed in Centre County Wednesday. The court documents give no indication of why Spanier is voluntarily discontinuing pursuing action. Spanier filed the suit against Penn

State on May 25 in an attempt to have emails turned over to him that were made a part of former FBI director Louis Freeh's investigation of Penn State. Spanier said he wanted the emails â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which are on Penn State servers and could date as far back as 1996 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to refresh his memory should he be interviewed by law enforcement officials regarding his handling of incidents involving former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.

Some of the topics discussed during the program are: facts about the problem of child sexual abuse; the types of situations in which child sexual abuse might occur; simple, effective strategies for protecting children from sexual abuse; the importance of talking about the prevention of sexual abuse with children and other adults; and the signs of sexual abuse so that you might intervene and be able to act responsibly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bottom line is that we need to put children first. The key is setting standards. We need to start asking questions. What happens when an adult is alone with a child? Trust your gut. We need to start trusting our gut more. Ask questions.

PSU to respond to NCAA demand soon By MICHAEL RUBINKAM And RANDY PENNELL Associated Press

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State said Tuesday it will respond within days to the NCAA’s demand for information as the governing body decides whether the university should face penalties — including a possible shutdown of its storied football program — in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. Penn State President Rodney Erickson said he doesn’t want to “jump to conclusions” about possible sanctions after the head of the NCAA declared the so-called death penalty has not been ruled out. The NCAA is investigating whether Penn State lost “institutional control” over its athletic program and violated ethics rules. The probe had been on hold for eight months while former FBI Director Louis Freeh conducted an investigation on behalf of the school’s board of trustees. Freeh’s 267-page report, released last week, asserted that late football coach Joe Paterno and three top officials buried allegations against Sandusky, his retired defensive coordinator, more than a decade ago to protect the university’s image. Sandusky was convicted last month of sexually abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period. He awaits sentencing. Penn State, with the results of its own investigation in hand, can turn its attention to the NCAA, Erickson said. “The NCAA has indicated that they’d like me to respond ... as quickly as possible now that we have the Freeh report,” he said. “So we’ve already started the process of starting to compose that response. We’ll do so over the course of the next few days and get that response back as soon as possible, and we’ll then engage in discussions with the NCAA.” In a PBS interview Monday night, NCAA President Mark Emmert said he’s “never seen anything as egregious as this in terms of just overall conduct and behavior inside a university.” He said he doesn’t want to take “anything off the table” if there’s a finding that Penn State violated NCAA rules. The last time the NCAA shut down a football program was in the 1980s, when Southern Methodist University was forced to drop the sport because of extra benefits violations. After the NCAA suspended the SMU program for a year, the school decided not to play in 1988, either, as it tried to regroup. Erickson would not say whether he thought Penn State deserved to have its football program yanked. “Let’s not get ahead of ourselves here,” Erickson told The Associated Press as he conducted a round of media in-

terviews in his office on Tuesday. “Let’s wait for this process to unfold. President Emmert has said that the NCAA will take a deliberate and deliberative process in addressing this, so I don’t think we should jump to any conclusions at this point.” Schools often propose sanctions to the governing body. Erickson pointed out that Penn State has already given $2.6 million in bowl revenues to its new center for child abuse research and treatment and to the Pennsylvania Coalition against Rape, a group that operates rape crisis centers across the state. “We’ve already started to impose sanctions in the sense that we took away $2.6 million of athletic department funds,” Erickson said. “Surely we’ll have to do more, but we’re already on that road.” Erickson also addressed the controversy swirling around the statue of Paterno outside Beaver Stadium, saying that no decision has been made on whether to take it down. The bronze statue had been a rallying point for students in the months since Sandusky’s November arrest. “I’m still in the process of talking with members of my leadership team,” Erickson said. “I’ll want to talk with members of the board and others. And we will make a decision, and we will make the right decision based on what we believe is the best course of action for the university.” University spokesman David La Torre said a decision on the matter would be made in seven to 10 days. Regardless of Penn State’s decision on the statue, it’s clear that Paterno’s name is losing its luster. Paternoville, a tent city outside Beaver Stadium where students camp out for prime football tickets, was scrapped Monday in favor of Nittanyville. Brown University, the late coach’s alma mater, said that not only had it removed Paterno’s name from its head football coaching position and a student award, but it’s also reviewing whether to remove him from the school’s athletic hall of fame, too. Nike took Paterno’s name off a child care center on its corporate campus on Thursday, the day the Freeh report was released. The halo that had floated above Paterno’s head in a State College mural was removed Saturday. In its place the artist added a blue ribbon in support of child abuse awareness. And a Connecticut middle school said it would paint over its own mural of Paterno. Although there was some negative reaction to Paterno immediately after Sandusky’s arrest — the Big Ten dropped Paterno’s name from the conference championship trophy where it had been next to that of Amos Alonzo Stagg, who won almost 100 fewer games — the pace has picked up since the Freeh report was released. The Paterno statue, in particular, has been a point of

much contention. Critics have called for the sculpture to be taken down after the Freeh report concluded that Paterno was aware of a 1998 allegations against Sandusky — in contrast to his grand jury testimony and an interview given after his firing — and that he was involved in the decision to hide a 2001 incident from the authorities. On Tuesday, a small plane pulled a banner over State College reading, “Take the statue down or we will.” The plane is licensed to Air America Aerial Ads of Genoa, Ohio. A person who answered the phone at Air America declined to give his name or identify who paid for the flight. Federal Aviation Administration records show the agency grounded a plane from the company after it towed banners taunting Tiger Woods during the 2010 Masters golf tournament. The Freeh report raised the culpability of Paterno and former university President Graham Spanier to the same level as two other key figures: former Vice President Gary Schultz and athletic director Tim Curley. Schultz and Curley await trial on charges of perjury and failure to report suspected child abuse. They deny the allegations against them. Spanier is not charged, and his attorneys have criticized the Freeh report, saying it contains inaccuracies. Paterno’s family denies he participated in any attempt at a cover-up. Pennell reported from Philadelphia. Associated Press writer Michelle Smith in Providence, R.I., contributed to this report.

PAGE 6 Freeh, from page 1 no’s culpability — even as it showed him to be more deeply involved in the university’s response to 1998 and 2001 abuse complaints about Sandusky than previously thought. Damaging emails unearthed by Freeh and his team of lawyers and ex-law enforcement officials show the extent to which Paterno, Penn State President Graham Spanier, athletic director Tim Curley and senior vice president Gary Schultz fretted over what to do about Sandusky. Ultimately, they did nothing — and their inaction allowed the retired defensive coordinator to continue molesting boys, the report found. Freeh also faulted university trustees for failing to exercise proper oversight and said a culture that showed excessive reverence for the football program helped protect a pedophile. Sandusky, 68, was convicted last month of abusing 10 boys over 15 years and will likely die in prison. Freeh’s report could impact the ongoing criminal case against Curley and Schultz, who are charged with lying to a grand jury and failing to report child abuse. It will certainly factor into any future discussion about Paterno and a Hall of Fame career that includes two national championships, 409 wins, and the coach’s self-proclaimed “grand experiment” that tried to blend academics, athletics and right living. Karen Peetz, chairwoman of the board of trustees, said the panel believes Paterno’s “61 years of excellent service to the university is now marred” by the scandal. Phil Knight, the Nike founder who won thunderous applause with his passionate defense of the coach at his January memorial service, acknowledged that “it appears Joe made missteps that led to heartbreaking consequences. I missed that Joe missed it, and I am extremely saddened on this day.” Freeh, who was hired by the

THE CENTRE COUNTY GAZETTE school’s board of trustees to investigate the scandal, expressed regret for any damage to Paterno’s “terrific legacy.” But he stood by his work. “What my report says is what the evidence and the facts show,” he said. What they showed, the report said, was that Paterno, Spanier, Curley and Schultz “failed to protect against a child sexual predator,” burying the allegations against Sandusky out of a desire to “avoid the consequences of bad publicity.” Freeh said officials had opportunities in 1998 and 2001 to step in. In 1998, campus police investigated after a woman complained that her son had showered with Sandusky. The investigation did not result in charges. But the emails show Paterno clearly followed the case, Freeh said, and university officials took no action at the time to limit Sandusky’s access to campus — a decision that would pave the way for Sandusky to victimize more youths. Three years later, a coaching assistant told Paterno that he had seen Sandusky sexually abusing a boy in the locker room showers. Freeh, citing emails and handwritten notes, concluded that Paterno intervened to stop a plan by Curley, Schultz and Spanier to report the 2001 allegation by graduate assistant Mike McQueary to child-welfare authorities. According to the report, the administrators intended to inform the state Department of Public Welfare. But Curley later said in an email that he changed his mind about the plan “after giving it more thought and talking it over with Joe.” Instead, Curley proposed to offer Sandusky “professional help.” In an email, Spanier agreed that course of action would be “humane” but noted “the only downside for us is if the message isn’t (heard) and acted upon and we then become vulnerable for

not having reported it.” Paterno “was an integral part of this active decision to conceal” and his firing was justified, Freeh said at a news conference in Philadelphia, calling the officials’ disregard for child victims “callous and shocking.” In a statement, Paterno’s family strongly denied he protected Sandusky for fear of bad publicity. “The idea that any sane, responsible adult would knowingly cover up for a child predator is impossible to accept. The far more realistic conclusion is that many people didn’t fully understand what was happening and underestimated or misinterpreted events,” the family said. “Sandusky was a great deceiver. He fooled everyone.” Attorneys for Spanier, Curley and Schultz vehemently denied Freeh’s conclusions and said there was no effort to hide Sandusky’s behavior. The report chronicled a culture of silence that extended from the president down to the janitors in the football building. Even before 1998, football staff members and coaches regularly saw Sandusky showering with boys but never told their superiors about it. In 2000, after a janitor saw Sandusky performing oral sex on a boy in the team shower, he told his co-workers. None of them went to police for fear of losing their jobs. Reporting the assault “would have been like going against the president of the United States in my eyes,” a janitor told Freeh’s investigators. “I know Paterno has so much power, if he wanted to get rid of someone, I would have been gone.” He went on to assert that “football runs this university.” Freeh said Thursday the janitors “were afraid to take on the football program. If that’s the culture at the bottom, God help the culture at the top.” Chad Gustafson, a recent Edinboro secondary education graduate, said that though he

JULY 19-25, 2012

didn’t read the entire report, he did watch ESPN and CNN reports on the press conference. Gustafson said he feels that the report singled out Paterno and the Nittany Lions football program. Despite the report, Gustafson said his opinion of Paterno and Penn State hasn’t changed. “I think that it’s obvious and clear right now that he made the biggest mistake of his life by not seeing his crime through, but I don’t see a man like him allowing something like that to go on,” he said. As a Penn State football fan and former high school player, Gustafson said he feels the release of the report will bring the football players and coaches closer together. “It is terrible what happened, but together they’ll get through it. Coaches teach things like how to deal with adversity and how to persevere,” he said. “They’ll get through it, and hopefully we’ll see Coach O’Brien’s team shine on the national stage this year. I think they’ll be OK down the road.” In State College, resident George Walker said, it was impossible to avoid the Freeh report. Walker said that even though information was released regarding when university officials knew about the actions of Sandusky, Walker doesn’t feel Penn State as a whole is at fault. “It’s still a great university. Unfortunately some people didn’t do enough, I guess,” he said. Walker said that though he doesn’t believe Paterno’s legacy should be completely tarnished, he does believe it is possible that more should have been done. But in the end, Walker believes Penn State will bounce back. “The university will survive. The football team will survive. In a few months, everything will be fine,” he said. The Associated Press contributed to this story.

KEY FINDINGS By The Associated Press Key findings and recommendations of the Freeh report.

FINDINGS

■ Penn State officials including coach Joe Paterno and university President Graham Spanier concealed information of Sandusky’s activities from authorities and the public to avoid bad publicity. ■ Paterno, Spanier, Vice President Gary Schultz and athletic director Tim Curley “empowered Sandusky to attract potential victims” by failing to restrict his access to the university despite receiving two reports of illicit sexual contact involving him and children. ■ Spanier failed in his duties as president by not informing the board of trustees about the allegations against Sandusky and the subsequent grand jury investigation. ■ Once aware of the grand jury investigation, the trustees failed in their duty to the university by not pressing Spanier for details about Sandusky’s situation. ■ The trustees handled Paterno’s firing poorly.

RECOMMENDATIONS

■ Reinforce the commitment of all university officials to protect children and create a stronger sense of accountability and transparency among school leadership. ■ Evaluate security and access protocols for all campus buildings and better track university programs involving children. ■ Require and provide abuse awareness and reporting training to faculty, coaches and staff. ■ Establish a policy for university police to seek assistance in sensitive investigations or ones where a conflict of interest may exist. ■ Appoint a university ethics officer and an ethics council. ■ Strengthen the university’s human resources office.

Eating fresh foods requires a little care With dedicated foodies hounding the public to be “locavores,” consumers of locally grown farm products, and the health watchdogs urging increasingly obese Americans to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, it is no wonder that the number of farmers markets has soared to 7,175 nationwide, up 17 percent from a year earlier. Even first lady and nutrition advocate Michelle Obama endorsed and christened a weekly farmers market across the park from the White House. The markets range from a farmer selling fresh corn and tomatoes roadside from the back of a truck to summer-long tent encampments at the county fairgrounds. Americans enjoy the markets and the vendors enjoy the interaction with their customers, who tend to become regulars. But just because the fruits and vegetables look good and the person selling them looks like a farmer doesn’t make the produce any safer than what’s available at a bricks-and-morDale McFeatters is a tar supermarket.

Oregon requires vendors to sell only what they grow, but some of these strawberries were purchased and resold four times before they reached the consumer. As Carol Guensburg of Scripps Howard News Service reported in her look at food safety in farmers markets, an even worse outbreak followed that summer. Cantaloupes tainted with listeria bacteria — some of which were sold at farmers markets — killed at least 30 people and sickened 46 others in 28 states last summer. The outbreak was traced to poor sanitation in a single Colorado farm. Foodborne illnesses are not just a Third World problem. In the U.S., they kill 3,000 and send 128,000 to the hospital each year. The federal government doesn’t have the staff or the funds to do exhaustive monitoring, and its recently tightened food-safety laws exempt small farmers and producers. In the last few years, at least 20 states have introduced or passed legislation that lets individuals sell homemade foods direct to customers — yes, at farmers markets — often without inspection or oversight. Some states permit the sale of salsas, pickles and other higher-risk items. In other words, government isn’t always looking out for you. State and local governments decide whether to inspect farmers markets, how extensively and how often. Farmers-market industry groups are introducing voluntary standards, guidelines and best practices to protect their customers and their businesses. Farmers markets are a welcome, and healthy, supplement to the American diet. But don’t be shy about asking questions at your local farmers market. If they’re any kind of farmers, they’ll be happy to talk your ear off.

Should states tax Internet sales? There’s a movement in several states to levy a sales tax on all purchases made from online sources — including, in some states, digital downloads from companies like Amazon and Apple. The National Conference of State Legislatures say such taxes could raise as much as $23 billion a year. But companies say that figuring out the tax rate of every city and every county in every state in the nation is an impossibly complicated task. And online companies may lose their price advantage over “brick-andmortar” rivals. Should companies like Amazon collect and pay sales tax? Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk debate.

JOEL MATHIS They say if you want less of something, tax it. And in the late-1990s heyday of the Internet, that was a very good reason not to tax “e-commerce”: The sector was young and fragile enough that throwing a tax bill at it might have been enough to make a number of young companies collapse. That was then, this is now. Borders went out of business last year, but Amazon is still standing — delivering physiJoel Mathis, cal books in the joelmmathis@ mail and e-books gmail.com, is a over the transom. writer in Philadelphia. Tower Records shut down all of its stores at the end of 2006, but Apple’s iTunes service is doing brisk business. Online commerce is now a mature, normal, even preferred way of doing business for most Americans.

JOEL MATHIS

And it’s time to tax it. Brick-and-mortar retailers, of course, have never had the option of not paying sales taxes. They’ve been put at a disadvantage to their online rivals when it comes to pricing their products, as a result. That disparity is unfair. And there’s another question of fairness. Online companies do take advantage of amenities made possible by government: Their workforces are mostly educated in public schools, their products are delivered by vehicles running on public streets, and so forth. Even where the commerce is purely digital, in many cases the signals are exchanged via fiberoptic networks where the government secured the rights-of-way for cable to be laid. Few, if any, online businesses would exist without that government-created infrastructure. Congress is apparently moving toward passage of the Marketplace Equity Act, a bill that would smooth out the rough details of online sales tax collections and empower states to proceed. The Internet isn’t new and novel anymore: It’s time that online businesses start supporting the communities that enable their profit.

BEN BOYCHUK Online retailers do pay taxes, of course, on their corporate income and profits. So it’s not as if Amazon or Overstock.com got all that fiber for free. Then what is the renewed push for online sales taxes really about? “Equity” can’t explain everything. A more compelling reason is that many states are desperately seeking new revenue to cover not only current programs and expenses, but also to help fill the ever-widening maw of unfunded pension and entitlement obligations. That would explain why several Republican governors, current and former, have jumped on the Internet sales tax bandwagon. “It seems to me there has to be a

way to tax sales done online in the same way that sales are taxed in brick-and-mortar establishments,” wrote former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush in an e-mail to current Gov. Rick Scott last year. “My guess is that there would be hundreds of millions of dollars that then could be used to reduce taxes to fulfill campaign promises.” Bush guesses wrong. A study by the Tax Foundation in Washington, D.C., found, contrary to claims of supporters left and right, that Amazon taxes “do not provide easy revenue” and, in fact, “the nation’s first few Ben Boychuk, bboychuk@cityAmazon taxes journal.org, is have not pro- associate editor of duced any rev- City Journal. enue at all” because the online retailer simply discontinued its affiliate programs in those states. Amazon actually supports the federal solution. Again, “equity” has nothing to do with it. If the states can impose a legal and effective means of collecting taxes from online sales, Amazon would be poised to help its third-party vendors overcome the hassle — for a fee of 2.9 percent, according to a plan Amazon announced last year. Turns out, tax collection can be a profitable enterprise. In the end, however, the case against Internet sales taxes is straightforward: State government spending is unsustainable, and new revenues — assuming they appear — won’t suddenly jar elected officials back to reality. Fiscal responsibility begins with controlling spending, not imposing new tax burdens.

HEALTH & WELLNESS Metabolic profiling: Feed your body the fuel it needs JULIE A. WILCZYNSKI

If someone asked you if “unleaded gas” was a good fuel, what would your answer be? Your best response would or should be “Oops, wrong question!” Why? Because the fuel needed for proper running of a working engine depends on the vehicle. A vehicle designed to use unleaded gas would do fine with that fuel. However, a truck designed to run Julie A. Wilczynski on diesel fuel would do is a traditional quite poorly on unnaturopath, counleaded gas. The same selor of natural health, certified nu- is true for our bodies. Food is our fuel and it tritional consult“fuels” our metaboant, certified perlism. sonal trainer, and yoga and Pilates inThe term metabostructor. lism refers to the entire range of biochemical processes that happen within a person or living organism. Metabolism is something that consists of both catabolism and anabolism, which are

the buildup and breakdown of substances. Metabolism is a term used to refer particularly to the breakdown of food and its subsequent transformation into energy the person’s body needs. In the field of biology, metabolism refers to all of the body’s chemical processes, the digestion of food, and the elimination of waste. People have an overall metabolism that differs from the metabolism of individual cells. There are metabolic pathways which form a two-part process; the first part is the one mentioned called catabolism, during which the body processes food to use for energy. The other part is called anabolism, where the person’s body uses food in order to either repair or build cells. The metabolic process ceases only

when a person dies. Metabolic profiling is the process of determining the best blend of fuel (in this case proteins, carbohydrates and fats) for the human body. In 1919, Dr. Pottenger published a paper that established the autonomic nervous system as the basis for metabolic differences and compared the effect of various nutrients on it. In the 1950s, Dr. Page and Dr. Bieler developed the concept of endocrine types and described the effects va r i o u s foods and nutrients had on this system of the body. Dr. Roger Williams (biochemist and discoverer of vitamin B5) was involved in the research involving metabolic typing. In the 1980s the concept of nutritional individuality was first developed and dis-

cussed; metabolic profiling based on the genetic influence on three main systems of the body with regard to nutritional needs: the autonomic nervous system, the endocrine system and the oxidative system. The nutrients focused on included proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Based on these studies, individuals can be categorized into one of three profiles: Profile 1 — the slow burner; Profile 2 — the fast burner; and Profile 3 — the balanced burner. Profile 1 needs a primarily vegetarian diet. Profile 2 require higher levels of protein and rarely do well on a complete vegetarian diet. Profile 3 is a blend of the other two profiles. Food is rarely an issue for them unless there are allergies. Our food is our fuel. Wouldn’t you like to know if you are burning the best fuel to operate your body at its best level providing you vibrant health and achieving and maintaining a healthy weight? If you need help determining what you need, give me a call. I have put some information about metabolic profiling on my website at www.drjuliend.com/ccgazette. html.

Galliker Dairy partners Make diabetes awareness with American Red Cross part of healthy living plan for ice cream promotion From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — Galliker Dairy Co. and the American Red Cross are again partnering on a National Ice Cream Month promotion during July. Every presenting donor at local Red Cross blood drives or donation centers during July in the following counties will receive a coupon for a pint of Galliker’s ice cream as a thank you for coming out to help save lives this summer, while supplies last. Ice cream pints are available locally at stores in these counties: ■ Pennsylvania: Centre, Allegheny, Beaver, Bedford, Blair, Butler, Cambria, Clarion, Clearfield, Cumberland, Fayette, Franklin, Fulton, Greene, Huntingdon, Indiana, Jefferson, Juniata, Lawrence, Mercer, Mifflin, Perry, Somerset, Washington and Westmoreland counties. ■ Maryland: Allegany and Washington counties. In addition, donors will also receive a chance to win a daily drawing for an Ice Cream for a Year package or an Ice Cream Party Pack. Two winners, one for each ice cream prize, will be drawn from all presenting donors each day across the 100-county Greater Alleghenies Region. The Ice Cream for a Year Package includes 25 coupons for a 48 oz. container of ice cream. The Ice Cream Party Pack includes ice cream bowls, ice cream scoopers, coupons and toppings. All drawings and coupons are non-transferrable and non-redeemable for cash. “As temperatures increase, donor turnout tends to decrease, so we have partnered with Gallikers and other vendors across our 100-county service area to thank those who make time to donate blood during July,” stated John Hagins, CEO, American Red Cross, Greater Alleghenies Blood Services Region. “Help us beat

blood shortages during July and we’ll help you beat the heat.” He added that the American Red Cross is currently experiencing a nationwide emergency need for blood donors. Individuals of all blood types are urgently needed to donate blood, especially those with O positive, O negative, A negative and B negative blood types. “Declines in blood collection strain the current blood supply and also make it particularly difficult for the American Red Cross to be prepared for future emergency needs,” he said. “Each day, countless trauma victims, cancer patients, premature babies and surgical candidates rely on the availability of blood for transfusions, and as a community we need to be able to meet those needs.” Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia), meet height and weight requirements (at least 110 pounds based on height) and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. Please bring your Red Cross blood donor card or other form of positive ID when you come to donate. Those with specific eligibility questions should call the Red Cross Donor Client Support Center at 1 (866) 236-3276. Many donors are eligible to give blood every 56 days. Donation appointments may be scheduled at many Red Cross blood drives. To schedule your blood donation appointment where available call 1 (800) RED CROSS (733-2767) or visit www.redcrossblood.org.

Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in both Pennsylvania and in the nation as a whole. Nearly 26 million children and adults in the United States have diabetes; of those, approximately 90 to 95 percent have type 2 diabetes. One-quarter of the people in this country who have diabetes do not know they have this disease. Often, diagnosis occurs seven to 10 years after disease onset as the result of complications that have developed.

An additional 79 million people — or one in three adults — in the United States have prediabetes. People with prediabetes have blood glucose (sugar) levels that are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed with diabetes. Those with prediabetes are at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, and are also at increased risk for heart attack and stroke. Other risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes include: ■ Being age 45 or older

UNIVERSITY PARK — Imagine millions of American kids logging on to their computers, downloading instructions for building rockets or for creating new hybrid varieties of plants, and sharing their ideas about their projects with other kids from across the country online. Now imagine these kids earning merit badges for their efforts in a manner similar to the way Boy and Girl Scouts earn badges. This is the vision that Kyle Peck, professor of education at Penn State, has for STEM Scouts, a program he and colleagues John Wise, director of instructional design and assessment at Penn State, and Brad Zdenek, director of program design and development at Penn State, are developing to get more kids interested in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) careers. “America has a STEM problem,” said Peck. “Too few students are choosing careers in science, technology, engineering and math. This may be because students don’t know what STEM professionals do; because peer pressure works against students who happen to like math and science; or because STEM subjects in school are often divorced from real-world contexts.” According to Peck, STEM Scouts will be a scalable, systemic solution to this problem. “Our goal is for STEM Scouts to identify and attract students of all ages who are interested in STEM disciplines; to engage those students with challenging age-appropriate activities; and to show them how

STEM knowledge and skills are used in the real world. We hope that these kids will then be more likely to enter STEM careers or, at the very least, use their educations in science and technology to make better-informed decisions," he said. In particular, STEM Scouts will include hundreds of high-interest merit badges and online learning resources created to support the acquisition of the badges, thousands of mentors to help students and to review students’ work, and an online learning community to help students identify, talk to, and collaborate with Scouts with similar interests across the nation. And, so that all interested students may participate, the STEM Scouts team’s goal is for local philanthropic groups, corporations and/or mentors to sponsor students from economically challenged families and provide the materials they need to complete their selected projects. The team has created the program’s basic structure and currently is working to design the lessons/badges, to develop interest and support across the academic disciplines at Penn State, and to garner a national consortium that will provide ongoing support in terms of funding and mentors. Eventually, Peck and his colleagues hope that STEM Scouts will attract millions of kids from around the country. “The problem is big and the solution must also be big,” he said. “Penn State has what it takes to lead a multifaceted national project that spans disciplines. I think the result will be amazing — good for kids, for society, and for the planet.”

DUNMORE — On July 13, Penn State’s Board of Trustees were informed of a July 5 acquisition of 451.85 acres of the State Correctional Institution at Rockview from the commonwealth of Pennsylvania for $407,570. The property will be used solely for agricultural purposes to further the university’s mission of education related to agricultural sciences. The acquisition also requires the conveyance of a perpetual conservation easement to the Clearwater Conservancy and the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. Located north of I-99 near the Shiloh Road and Bellefonte exits, the land was conveyed as three separate parcels of 49.57, 223.02 and 179.26 acres. The acreage, which is largely cropland, is a portion of a total 1,829 acres that have been transferred to the Pennsylvania Game Commission (1,211 acres), the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (141 acres) and Benner Township (25 acres), with whom the university has entered into a cooperative agreement. Pennsylvania Act 55,

signed into law on July 9, 2010, (http://live.psu.edu/story/47393), documented the detail of the transfers to the university and these three organizations. A technical advisory group with representatives from each of the organizations has been created and will meet regularly to share respective management plans to ensure consistency with the Spring Creek Canyon Conservation Strategy dated spring 2009. If the university attempts to use the property for any other purpose than agriculture, or if the perpetual conservation easement is not conveyed within two years, the property will immediately revert to the commonwealth. The purpose of the easement is to preserve the property’s unique natural resources, including the biological resources, native species and their supporting habitats and native species that are uncommon in the commonwealth. It will further preserve the integrity of Spring Creek and protect the property’s groundwater recharge value and its springs, wetlands and floodplains.

Public invited to ‘Meet Millheim’ this weekend By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

MILLHEIM — The Millheim business community is hosting “Meet Millheim” from July 20-22 in the borough. This event is aimed at introducing the public to the many stores and businesses in Millheim. Merchants will be offering extended shopping hours and numerous discounts during the event. Stanley C. Bierly Plumbing and Heating will feature a new line of steamer pots shaped like animals, and one like a steam locomotive, according to manager Gretta Bierly. These pots are filled with water and placed on top of coal or wood burning stoves to humidify the air as the water heats and turns to steam. The Bierlys’ business is one of the oldest in Millheim. Stanley C. Bierly Sr. sold Day-Fan radios in Rebersburg in the early 1930s. He bought the store property in Millheim in 1934 for his plumbing and heating business. It has remained there for 78 years. Judy Shawver, owner of the Good Scents Candle Company, said that her store will offer a 10 percent discount on customers’ total purchases, plus many specials throughout the store for the Meet Millheim event. Shawver says the store’s candles are all handmade. Penns Valley Jewelers is having a “Christmas in July” special, with some items selling at half off for the Meet Millheim event, according to store owner, Richard Weinbold. Weinbold has been in the jewelry business for 36 years. His wife operates Cottage Rose Interiors at the same location. In addition, many special programs will be held: The Green Drake Gallery will present a harp recital by harpist Anne Sullivan

at 7 p.m. Friday evening and a show and open house by the Mountain Minstrelsy at the St. Luke’s Cultural Center (former Methodist church) at 8 p.m. The Green Drake will also host artist demonstrations and kids’ arts and crafts from 10 a.m. through 2 p.m. on Saturday. On Saturday, a rubber duck race, sponsored by EcoVents, will be held in the old mill race at noon. The Inglebean Coffee House will host a puppet show at 2 p.m. According to Inglebean owner, Martha Hoffman, the show is titled “The Ingleby Monster,” and will feature marionette puppets made locally by Jessica Thorpe. The Inglebean will have extended hours until 9 on Saturday, and will be open from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Sunday. At 4 p.m. on Saturday at Penns Valley Outfitters, falconer Mike Dupuy will present a falconry demonstration with three live birds. Penns Valley Outfitters is a newcomer to Millheim, having just opened in February. The business rents kayaks and inner tubes for leisurely trips down Penns Creek, as well as bicycles for riding on scenic back roads in the area, according to owner, Craig Shroyer. According to Shroyer, his tubes are “the Cadillac of inner tubes,” with puncture-resistant covered bottoms, a backrest, handles, and a cup holder. Paddles are provided to keep tubers from getting stuck on rocks and logs. Live music will be featured at the Green Drake from 4 to 7 p.m., and at the Elk Creek Café & Aleworks at 8 p.m. On Sunday, more live music will be featured at the Green Drake at 1 p.m., and at the St. Luke’s Cultural Center at 3 p.m. The Elk Creek Café & Aleworks will present music by singer-songwriter Eilen Jewell at 6. Tickets are required for that event.

Shrine tour explains Boalsburg’s ties to World War I By KAREN DABNEY For The Gazette

BOALSBURG — When museum educator Joe Horvath gives tours, he is often asked why the Pennsylvania Military Museum is located in the peaceful town of Boalsburg. To answer that question, he developed a new Sunday evening tour of the Pennsylvania National Guard 28th Division Shrine. Horvath said that the answer to that question is across the road from the museum at Boal Mansion. In 1898, Theodore Davis Boal, a wealthy Washington, D.C., architect, bought the mansion from his aunt as summer home and enlarged it. Anticipating America’s entry into World War I,

Boal founded Camp Boal on his estate and recruited men to form a volunteer cavalry machine gun unit. President Wilson opposed the idea of using volunteer militia, and wanted to use only professional troops. Boal knew Theodore Roosevelt and Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, and through them was able to get his troop federalized and sent to the Mexican Border in September 1916 to join the Army’s unsuccessful attempt to catch Mexican Revolutionary General Pancho Villa. When the United States joined World War I, Boal’s unit was shipped to France as part of the 28th Division of the Pennsylvania National Guard. Horvath began the tour with

an introduction in front of the museum, and led the tour group to the 28th Division Shrine Complex beside the museum. He explained that the locations of the individual regimental monuments beside Spring Creek correspond to the placement of the 28th Division regiments before the Meuse-Argonne Offensive near Verdun, France during World War I. The four infantry regiments, 109 through 112, were positioned along the Vesle River, with the two artillery regiments, 107 and 108, behind them. Across Spring Creek from the regimental monuments is the Officers Memory Wall, inscribed with the names of 115 of the 28th Division officers who died in World War I. Horvath said many

more officers died in action, but these were the ones that family and friends paid to have inscribed. The trees behind the wall symbolize the Argonne Forest. He also talked about the other monuments at the shrine, including the first monument, the memorial to Company A of the 107th Machine Gun Regiment, which was moved from in front of Boal Mansion to its current location in the 28th Division Shrine. After a brief walking tour of the shrine, Horvath led the group inside to the museum’s theater for a PowerPoint slide show presentation of how the site evolved as an officers’ club and continued as a cavalry post through the 1920s and 1930s. Using a map of the grounds, Horvath pointed

Rebersburg hosts Civil War muster re-enactment By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

REBERSBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201D; For over 200 spectators, a piece of American history came alive in Rebersburg on July 14. A Civil War reenactment group recreated the mustering in of 72 young men from the Brush Valley area into Company A of the 148th Regiment of the Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry in August of 1862. The reenactment was done with great attention paid to historical accuracy, with reenactors portraying the actual soldiers mustered in on that day 150 years ago. The event began with the Coburn Brass and the Penns Valley Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chorus each performing songs of the Civil War era. Nationally known Civil War historian, author, and Rebersburg native Jeffry Wert addressed the crowd of spectators. He noted

that in 1860, the Penns Valley and Brush Valley townships of Haines, Penn, Gregg, Potter and Miles (known as the Dutch townships) were overwhelmingly Democratic, and were the only townships in Centre County that voted against Abraham Lincoln in the presidential election. When the war broke out in 1861, few volunteers were found in these areas to fight a war for a Republican president, and by the spring of 1862, the North was winning the war, and it seemed like it would be over quickly. New recruits were deemed to not be needed by the Union Army. But in June of 1862, the Union Army of the Potomac was driven away from the Confederate capital of Richmond, Va., by rebels led by General Robert E. Lee. The call then went out from President Lincoln for 300,000 soldiers to help swell the Unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

ranks and defeat the Confederacy. The Dutch townships responded with 72 men who were mustered into the army in front of the hotel in Rebersburg on Aug. 25, 1862. Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reenactment took place in front of the same hotel building (now a private residence), where a monument stands, marking the original mustering. The reenactors arrived in period civilian clothing, and gathered on the street, along with wives and children. They were signed up by Capt. Robert Brown, with each recruit stating his name, age, place of birth, height, hair color, and eye color. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish them to be Federal blue, but they happen to be rebel brown, sir,â&#x20AC;? said one recruit, regarding his eye color. After the recruits signed up, they were sworn in by Lt. George Fetterman of Harrisburg, who reportedly was a bit tipsy that day

in 1862, and had to be held in place on top of a large stone, which still stands beside the monument. While waiting to be sworn in, the men chattered anxiously about their pending trip to Camp Curtin in Harrisburg for training. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting a train ride,â&#x20AC;? said one recruit. After being sworn in, the new soldiers reported to a wagon across the street to receive uniforms and rifles. They were excited as they donned the dark blue coats and hats of the Union Army. They talked about â&#x20AC;&#x153;putting down the rebellion,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;beating those rebels.â&#x20AC;? The men were lined up in ranks in the middle of the street, where they listened to an address by Pennsylvania Gov. Andrew Gregg Curtin, portrayed by David Klinepeter, who has portrayed the Civil War-era governor since 1990.

Klinepeter delivered his speech, reading from a transcript of the actual speech given in 1862. Led by David Felice, portraying Capt. Robert Forster, of Rebersburg. The soldiers then fired several rounds from their rifles in honor of Gen. George McClellan and other officers of the Union Army. They said their goodbyes to families and friends, then boarded a wagon drawn by horses owned by Dick Brungard, of Mill Hall. A color guard and drummer marched ahead of the wagon, as it carried the soldiers westward amid cheers, applause and tears from the soldiersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wives and families, as well as spectators. For two hours, the town of Rebersburg slipped back in time to honor its brave men who fought for freedom in the Civil War 150 years ago.

Stepping Stone offers housing, life skills By JESSICA MINELLI Special to The Gazette

STATE COLLEGE — At Stepping Stone Transitional Living Program, we provide housing and life skills education to both homeless and foster youth ages 16 up to 22. While providing a safe place to live is our priority, our goals are to teach youth the skills they need to provide for themselves independently and to provide them with the tools they need to transition into that next stage in life. For some youth that next stage is college and for others it is finding employment and obtaining an apartment. Education is one of the main focuses of the program and all youth in our program are encouraged to pursue an education. If they are of school age, we help enroll them in the local high school or help them pursue a GED. While all residents are required to hold down a job, residents who are enrolled in school are asked to work at least 15 hours per week. A resident who has already graduated or completed the GED program is asked to work a minimum of 35 hours per week. During a youth’s residency at Stepping Stone, they will learn the skills necessary to acquire a job and budget their money. The staff at TLP teach youth how to fill out a job application, how to dress for success, and the rules of etiquette for job interviews. Residents pay a small percentage of each pay check towards rent and towards a savings account, which they will have access to once they leave the program. We encourage community involvement and provide many opportunities to volunteer with various agencies in the State College area. We also schedule monthly house activities for everyone to enjoy. A mandatory weekly workshop is also held for all residents. Workshops are informative sessions that include topics such as car insurance, internet safety, community resources, or how to file income taxes.

Another important skill that is taught at Stepping Stone is understanding and accessing medical care. If a resident comes to us without insurance, we teach them how to acquire proper medical coverage. We help them arrange regular medical and dental care and even accompany the youth to their appointments if they are unsure or uncomfortable going alone. Once the youth becomes familiar with a particular office and is comfortable going to appointments alone, we help them arrange for their own transportation. For most youth this means using the public transportation system. TLP residents quickly learn to use the CATA bus system. The process to be accepted into TLP starts with a referral. This can be done by the youth him/herself, by a teacher or counselor at school or even a friend. If the youth is in the custody of children and youth services, typically it is their case worker that makes the referral. After a referral is made, the youth fills out an application and returns it to TLP and an interview is scheduled. After the interview, the youth must decide whether Stepping Stone is the right place for him or her. Completion of the program means something different for each resident. For many, it is transitioning to an apartment, for others it is preparing to head off to college, and for some it is going back home to live with family. Our hope is that each resident leaves here with the knowledge needed to be successful in that next step, regardless of their situation. We provide continuous aftercare services and encourage past residents to check in and let us know how they are doing. Youth are also encouraged to utilize TLP aftercare services as a resource for any future needs. These services are available indefinitely for any alumni of the program. Jessica Minelli is a residential child care worker for the Centre County Youth Service Bureau.

The Fresh Life: Orviston dedicates memorial Nestled in the forests of Centre County is a little community called Orviston. When describing where it’s located, some simply say, “It’s where the paved road ends.” The heart of Orviston is composed of two primary streets, Front Street and Back Street. Except for the newly renovated, the houses that line these streets are practically identical to one another, as they were all built with the sand-colored brick made from clay deposits that once made the town a bustling manufacturing community. The town was founded in 1905 and was named after its founder, Judge Ellis L. Orvis. The community Amy Debach-Concontinued successful fer is a photograproduction of the pher and picture bricks until 1962, framing profession- when the Orviston al.

There are a handful of folks who were born there, raised there and stayed in the community. One of those individuals who still resides there is Ann (Lomison) Smith. When asked how Orviston has changed over the years, Smith said: “Everyone has went away and some people come in the summer. It’s still here. It will always be the same.”

AMY DEBACHCONFER

Each summer, Orviston holds a festival where everyone from the community and surrounding areas can enjoy food, music and old-fashioned games. This year, the festival was held on July 13 and 14 and had a “remembrance” theme. The festivities started on Friday evening with a ballgame, karaoke and a 50/50 raffle. The festival continued Saturday morning with a breakfast at the community pavilion. Throughout the day, one could enjoy food provided by vendors. The Howard Lions club served such items as hamburgers and hot sausage, and other vendors sold everything from cotton candy and funnel cakes to ice cream and pork barbecue sandwiches. Events that occurred throughout the day included a horseshoe tournament, a helium balloon launch, a parade, a cake walk, a raffle, auction and plenty of music throughout the day such as Steve Davy and the Lomison Band. One could also find craft vendors, face painting, a dunking booth and old-fashioned games. The finale of the evening was a fireworks display that burst from the mountainside into clear view above the ball field in Orviston. The highlight of this year’s festival was the Memorial Dedication service that was held on July 14. While the community was proud to show its new memorial, it was bittersweet as the spearhead of the project and longtime resident, Kels Lomison, passed away earlier this year. Les Rhoads and Bill Felmlee continued to spearhead the project while Jim Packer was responsible for taking Kels Lomison’s vision of the memorial and making it a reality. Since February, the vision, funding and coordination of veteran’s memorial have become a tangible and beautiful monument. A large brick memorial houses behind glass, the names of veterans from the communi-

Also, as part of the memorial is a proud flag waving above and wooded soldiers on the base of the memorial. The little community of Orviston is extremely proud of the new addition and was graced with the presence of many notable individuals for the memorial dedication, including Fifth District U.S. Congressman Glenn Thompson; Pennsylvania Sen. Jake Corman; 76th District State Representative Mike Hanna; and Centre County Commissioners Steve Dershem, Chris Exarchos and Michael Pipe. Also attending was Director of Centre County Veterans Affairs Holly Serface. Commissioners from Clinton County included Pete Smeltz, Jeff Snyder, Joel Long, and Veterans Affairs Director David Bower. The master of ceremonies was Hanna. The ceremony started with an introduction, welcome, and history followed by an invocation by Pastor Karl Steele of the Orviston Bible Church. Next was a lovely presentation of flags by the Post Color Guard, the playing of the national anthem, the raising of flags by American Legion Post 263 and the singing of the national anthem lead by Missy Lomison. After that there was a reading of Old Glory by Larry Butler. Thompson then spoke. Next, Bill Felmlee, Steele and American Legion representatives shared the duty of reading aloud the names of local individuals who served in World War I and World War II, the Korean/Cold War and Vietnam and the Iraq/Afghanistan Wars. Concluding the program, Lomison gave thank you comments, the crowd sang “God Bless America,” there was a benediction, a gun and cannon salute and the ever tear-evoking, playing of taps. This year was extremely successful and it couldn’t have been done without the

The event will be hosted by Penn State Extension Master Gardeners of Centre County along with “Butterfly Bob” Snetsinger. A special butterfly release in remembrance of Robert Tudek will take place at noon. July 21 marks the third annual “Wings In the Park” celebration. This year’s event will focus on bringing nature into our backyards by showcasing pollinator friendly gardening at home and providing every household a free Pennsylvania native plant. The fun and informative family event kicks off with the firstever “Pollinator Parade,” where event visitors are invited to come dressed as their favorite pollinator. Other featured activities include the habitat scavenger hunt, the popular “Shutterbug Booth,” “Caterpillar Cookie” decorating, Monarch tagging demonstration, live observation beehive, ex-

hibits, tours and hands-on activities. Penn State Extension Master Gardeners and Snetsinger will be joined by Shavers Creek Environmental Center Native Plant Society, the Center for Pollinator Research, Discovery Space and the Frost Entomological Museum, who will have interactive displays and activities to provide information and guidance on establishing pollinator friendly plantings in our landscapes. The Snetsinger Butterfly Garden is a demonstration garden site of approximately three acres within the Tom Tudek Memorial Park in Ferguson Township. The development of the butterfly garden habitat has been the passion of Snetsinger, professor emeritus of entomology at Penn State. Snetsinger is popularly known as “Butterfly Bob.” Snetsinger’s mission has been to educate the public about the importance of butterflies as critical components of many ecosystems, many of which are in decline throughout the world. In honor of Snetsinger’s many years of tremendous passion, dedication and work at the garden, the garden was formally named after him in July of 2011. The garden was a particular love of the Tudek family, which is why

the butterfly release will take place at noon. The Penn State Extension Master Gardeners of Centre County in partnership with Snetsinger develop and maintain The Snetsinger Butterfly Garden habitat as an educational resource. Also, in partnership with the Tom Tudek Memorial Trust, Penn State’s Frost Entomological Museum and Centre Region Parks and Recreation, Master Gardeners provide mentoring in environmental stewardship, promote biodiversity, and offer a number of tours, presentations and educational programs.

EDUCATION AND OUTREACH Over the past five years, Penn State Extension Master Gardeners and Snetsinger have developed a plan that will ensure the continued enhancement of The Snetsinger Butterfly Garden habitat. Increased public interest in sustainability and gardening to create and enhance butterfly and pollinator habitats to protect biodiversity and promote environmental stewardship continues to create opportunities for educational outreach at Tom Tudek Memorial Park and other locations throughout Centre County. In addition to the “Wings in the Park” event, some of the most

successful programs provided by local Master Gardeners include the Community Stewardship and Satellite Garden programs. The Community Stewardship program involves local organizations and school groups such as the State College High School Wild Dream Team, PA Native Plant Society and Girl Scouts, as well as families and individuals, who work with master gardener mentors to explore environmental stewardship practices through hands on experience working an area of the habitat. Under the guidance of master gardeners, community stewards receive direct educational programming, plants for their garden area, and continued support beyond the habitat for their own programs promoting environmental stewardship, biodiversity, and sustainability. Started just a couple of years ago, interest in the Satellite Garden program has exploded with 12 established gardens at area schools, churches, and local organizations. Master gardeners work with local groups to help them establish these educational demonstration gardens as a direct extension of the Snetsinger Butterfly Garden habitat. In the past year alone gardens

have been established at Easterly Parkway Elementary, State College Friends School, Mt. Nittany Charter School, Radio Park Elementary, Discovery Space of Central PA, Spring Creek Church and Harris Acres Community Garden. Master gardeners use these gardens to provide a variety of educational programs for teachers, students and community members. Of particular importance is the continued development of partnerships with other organizations that are committed to the educational mission of the Snetsinger Butterfly Garden habitat. Penn State’s Shavers Creek Environmental Center, the Center for Pollinator Research, and Arboretum along with the PA Native Plant Society and Discovery Space of Central PA are working with Penn State Extension Master Gardeners to expand educational outreach programs locally and throughout the region. Join Snetsinger and the Penn State Extension Master Gardeners of Centre County for a day of fun and adventure sharing the benefits and delights of pollinator friendly gardening.

Another successful Arts Fest is in the books By SAMI HULINGS For The Gazette

STATE COLLEGE — When StoryPins jewelry artists William and Margie Lobard had an opening in their schedule a few years ago, they knew it had to be filled with the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts. Three years ago, they were accepted into their first Arts Fest. “We knew how wonderful the show is. It took us a couple years of applying before we got in. We enjoy being back every year that we get invited back,” William Lobard said. As hand-fabricated jewelry

artists, the Lobards work to create one-of-a-kind pieces. Because of this, both said they have begun to gain a following at Arts Fest. “We enjoy making pieces that people will enjoy wearing. It’s nice to see a lot of people wear our work. It gives us both a lot of pleasure to sell pieces,” William Lobard said.“We’ve been visited by our repeat customers for the last two years. It’s really very encouraging.” Margie Lobard credited much of StoryPins’ Arts Fest success to the work done by volunteers and festival organizers. “You wouldn’t have a show run so smoothly and with so many

beautiful exhibits without a good organization behind it,” she said. As an ambassador for Arts Fest, Lisa Wulderk spends her time helping artists like the Lobards throughout the weekend. Wulderk said she checks to see if the artists need anything, if they would like to have a break to grab something to eat, or just a little time to rest. Working closely with a block of artists allows Wulderk to get to know them on a personal level. “All the artists have a different story. Everybody brings something different to the table,” she said. Wulderk said the variety of

artists is what makes Arts Fest such a popular event. The amount of art featured at Arts Fest has allowed Angela Bauer of Norristown to purchase unique pieces that complement each other for the last 13 years. “We’ve bought a lot of stuff from here that we get complimented on at home when people come to our house. We’re always very happy with the quality of art offered here,” she said. Because Bauer’s husband was born in State College, she said the weekend is sort of a vacation with the bonus of Arts Fest. “It’s a tradition now. We just get to see a lot of friends that also

come here,” she said. “We see repeatedly the same artists over and over again, which is nice to tell them where we’ve hung their pictures that we bought the year before.” Lenore Foster, of Stormstown, said the variety offered at Arts Fest is why she hasn’t missed a single festival since she moved to the area more than 20 years ago. Though she is drawn to ceramics, Foster said she appreciates all arts and how much work goes into creating the arts. This appreciation leads to her love of the variety and quality of the art featured at Arts Fest. “It’s like a museum,” she said.

A legacy crumbles For weeks, even months, we waited for the Freeh Report. We wanted to know who knew what and when they knew it. We wanted to find out all of the details about the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal and how something so heinous could happen here, in Happy Valley. The Freeh Report was released on July 12. All 267 pages could be downloaded in a tidy PDF. As media, fans and the public in general began reading the document, one thing became abundantly clear: Joe knew. One of the shocking revelations in the Freeh Report was the fact that Paterno had been aware of a 1998 investigation of his thendefensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. There were allegations that Sandusky abused the boy in the Penn Chris Morelli is the State locker room showers. editor of the Centre According to the Freeh ReCounty Gazette. He port, Paterno followed the can be reached at case closely, but did not editor@centre take action or alert Penn countygazette.com State’s Board of Trustees. Sandusky was not prosecuted, of course, and the Paterno family maintained — until recently — that Paterno had not been aware of the 1998 investigation. “Sandusky had been a key member of his coaching staff for almost 30 years and had an office just steps away from Mr. Paterno’s,” the Freeh Report said. “At the very least, Mr. Paterno could have alerted the entire football staff, in order to prevent Sandusky from bringing another child into” the university’s athletic building. Just three years later, then graduate assistant Mike McQueary informed Paterno he had witnessed Sandusky sexually assaulting a young boy, who was approximately 10-years-old, in the team shower. The Freeh Report suggests that Paterno convinced athletic director Tim Curley to avoid going to the authorities. As a result, the police were never contacted. Children and Youth Services were never called in. Paterno, Curley, then-president Graham Spanier and then-vice president Gary Schultz sat on the information. A total of five men — four with a great deal of power — never attempted to identify the boy in the shower. Because they failed to act, the Freeh Report said, the men created a “dangerous situation for other unknown, unsuspecting young boys who were lured to the Penn State campus and football games by Sandusky and victimized repeatedly by him,” the report stated. So Sandusky walked free for years, bringing boys to football games, on bowl trips, into the Lasch Building for “workouts,” and to university swimming pools only to terrorize them and take away their innocence. He was convicted on 45 of 48 counts last month. For 14 years, the abuse continued, and Paterno essentially looked the other way. Sandusky ran amok, using his connection to Penn State football to lure children to his Second Mile charity. Prior to the Freeh Report being released, there were some JoePa loyalists out there who wanted to place all the blame on Curley, Schultz and Spanier. They wanted to absolve Paterno of any wrong-doing. The Freeh Report lays it out there in black and white. Joe knew. By ignoring the 1998 incident, then failing to go to authorities in 2001, Paterno made things worse. If he had the courage to stop Sandusky in his tracks, it would have been a black eye for the university, a temporary bruise. But Sandusky would have been stopped and countless boys would have been spared the horror of his abuse. Appropriately, Paterno was fired. His legacy is in tatters today. I grew up a Penn State fan, went to games with my father. I went to Penn State. Some of my best memories of college came from sitting in that student section. As an adult, I covered the team and I’ve taken my son to countless games. When I was younger, I respected Paterno, even admired him. Not anymore. “The facts are the facts,” Louis Freeh said of Paterno. “He was an integral part of the act to conceal.” “Success with Honor” never sounded so hollow.

THE PENN STATE FOOTBALL offense faced the defense in a challenge of strength and endurance at the Lift For Life fundraiser event.

Show of support Lift For Life raises $110,000 for kidney cancer By SAMI HULINGS For The Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — The 10th annual Penn State Uplifting Athletes Lift for Life charity event raised $110,000 for the Kidney Cancer Association on July 13, bringing the total raised for the association to more than $700,000. Held at the new Penn State Lacrosse Field, the event drew a crowd of 2,500 fans, including many children eager to watch their favorite Nittany Lions football players work out. A new contest format placed offensive linemen against defensive linemen, running backs and tight ends against linebackers and the quarterbacks and wide receivers against defensive backs. For two hours, players earned points through winning various strength competitions including: pushing 6-ton vans, flipping 680-pound tires, stacking three 50-pound sand bags on top of each other, throwing medicine balls backwards over a goalpost and participating

in a tug-of-war. The offense lead for much of the event, with the defense coming in strong toward the end. But with offensive players winning all three tug-of-war tries, they beat the defense, 176-136. “It’s a lot of competition and that really brings out the best in you. You try to compete against that guy next to you, you obviously don’t want to lose to him,” senior quarterback Matt McGloin said. “It’s a way to get out there, raise money and get support.” Even with the team working gain support and raise money for cancer, junior guard and vice president of the Penn State chapter of Uplifting Athletes Eric Shrive said most people don’t realize Penn State football is the number one supporter of the Kidney Cancer Association. “For me, as a Penn State football player, the way I look at it is I need to give back to the community from the position that I’m in. I like to position myself in the community with local business

and get them on board with this and see how high we can get this donation,” he said. As the leading fundraiser for the second straight year, Shrive wants to continue giving back, especially after seeing the effects of kidney cancer first-hand. “Last year my uncle was affected. I saw the struggles he went through, you know, just even getting to a doctor. It puts things into perspective of how some of the bigger cancers get more notoriety, you know. I feel it’s not fair to people who get these rare diseases, so I put a lot my heart, time and effort into it,” he said. After losing his aunt to cancer twoand-a-half years ago, senior linebacker Gerald Hodges believes competing in Lift for Life with his fellow football players is the perfect way to honor her memory, as well as help out those still in need. “To help someone out, it feels so good to help someone out, so why not?” he said.

Toftreesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Katancik went from caddying to managing STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to imagine that someone would choose a lifetime profession in the golfing business by being a caddy and not even swing a golf club for nearly two years before the golf bug would take its bite. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how Toftrees director of golf Tom Katancik started in the business that is now his passion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually caddied for two years when I was 14 at Whitford Country Club in Downingtown before I ever swung a golf club or played golf,â&#x20AC;? Katancik said from the Toftrees pro shop office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mom (Sue Ellen) never played, Dad John Dixon writes a (Tom) did and was an weekly golf column avid golfer and was kinda self-taught and for The Centre never really was a County Gazette. He can be reached at country club type guy. jwd1@psu.edu. He was a high school teacher and there was a group of teachers that played together all the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both my parents are now retired and have been living in Myrtle Beach for over 17 years,â&#x20AC;? said Katancik. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My younger sister (Amy), also lives in Myrtle Beach, and is a house mom, her husband is an attorney in the area. I was born and raised in the Downingtown area and attended Downingtown High School.â&#x20AC;? Katancikâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of golf didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come from his parents, but from the golf professional where he caddied as a 14-year-old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But back then I never envisioned making golf my profession. I eventually went to Penn State for sports management and one thing lead to another,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I basically learned the game of golf at Whitford Golf Course near Downingtown,â&#x20AC;? explained Katancik. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The head golf professional there was Harry Hammond. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now the master professional and part owner at Penn Oaks Golf Center in West Chester. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basically a living-legend in the PGA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harry Hammond served as director of golf at Whitford Country Club, in Downingtown, for 38 years,â&#x20AC;? explained Katancik. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had an opportunity to join a group of businessmen in purchasing Penn Oaks Golf Club in 2005 in which he currently serves as a partner and Director of Golf. Harry has built his teaching reputation on the success of his junior golf program and the hundreds of juniors he has taught over the years.â&#x20AC;? Katancik is a graduate of Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College of Health & Human Development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was supposed to be in sports management but that never happened,â&#x20AC;? Katancik said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I received my degree in exercise sports science with a bachelors degree in sports science in the College of Health and Human Development from Penn State and graduated in 1993.â&#x20AC;? But that still doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t explain how Katancik decided to make the game of golf his lifetime career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although I worked in two golf shops as

a college student, these were only summer jobs,â&#x20AC;? explained Katancik. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once I graduated from Penn State I realized that the experienced I gained that past summer was guiding me towards a career. While in school I never did contemplate a career in golf. After college golf seemed like the clear choice, and with a degree in sports management, I was armed and ready. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly, the couple of jobs I had after graduation made me even more aware that golf was the destiny intended for me all along,â&#x20AC;? Katancik said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I then interviewed with Pete Marr at Toftrees and Bill Lee, who was the director of golf, and started working as an assistant,â&#x20AC;? explained Katancik. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was really my first real job in the golf business. I worked at Toftrees for three years then went to Marco Island as an assistant at another Marriott course in the winter, which was awesome.â&#x20AC;? But the position at Toftrees was seasonal and Katancik was looking for that one â&#x20AC;&#x153;dream jobâ&#x20AC;? in the golfing business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to go someplace full-time so I called the guy I worked for at Marco Island (located on southwest Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gulf coast, just south of Naples) who had opened up a new course in Scottsdale, Ariz., and moved out there for two years and then when this job (Toftrees) opened, the Mariott Corp. moved me here,â&#x20AC;? explained Katancik. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I took over for Darin Helfrick (former golf professional since 1995) who was moved to corporate office,â&#x20AC;? explained Katancik. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I stayed on at Toftrees to work for the Gregory family that owned Toftrees at that time, and have been the director of golf since 2000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have lived in State College full-time since 1998,â&#x20AC;? said Katancik. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when I returned to the area and became head golf professional. I was an assistant here for three years back in the mid-90s when Marriot Golf was here before. But I was going back and forth between here and Florida and had also moved to Arizona for a couple of years but came back in 1998 and have been fulltime since then.â&#x20AC;? Katancik is married to the former Kristen Reeder, the daughter of legendary State College golfer Jim Reeder, and has three sons, Cameron (5), Rylan (8) and Landon (9). The State College Friends Limited Partnership purchased Toftrees and all the surrounding land of the property that stretches from Toftrees to Home Depot in June 2010. The Shaner Group manages the property and the State College Friends Limited Partnership contracted with Mariott to manage the golf portion of the operation. All the building rights, with all the land that encompasses the front nine of the golf course that goes to the Home Depot exit off I-99 so any building rights fall under that partnership of the State College Friends Limited Partnership. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beyond a doubt, my No. 1 strength is interpersonal relationships,â&#x20AC;? Katancik explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I excel in dealing with members, ownership and co-workers. I have developed a bond with the membership that I cherish. I have also become a symbol of our club to the local community and the first line of communication between our facility and most local organizations. This tie to the region has become the most important asset to my professional value.

The Glass Eye: Pitching keeps Pirates contending Last week, we took a look at the Bucco bats and made some suggestions to improve the offense. This week weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take a look at the pitching, again from best to worst, and discuss possible upgrades on the mound.

STARTING ROTATION:

â&#x2013; James McDonald â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve said for two seasons that McDonald had the stuff to be a good pitcher, and he has broken out in a big way in 2012 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 114 innings, 2.59 ERA, only 84 hits and 36 walks against 102 strikeouts. Fatigue is a possibility, as McDonald figures to blow by his previous high in innings by September â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but if not for McCutchenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatness, McDonald would be MVP of the team. â&#x2013; A.J. Burnett â&#x20AC;&#x201D; What a move this was for general manager Dave Glass is a Neal Huntingdon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; columnist for The Burnett was given Centre County away by the Yankees Gazette. Email for a song, with New Dave at buggyracer@verizon.net. York even picking up most of his salary â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but at age 35, he clearly still has something left in the tank. His overall numbers are good â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 10-3, 3.78 ERA, 100 innings, 97 hits, 86 strikeouts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had one bad start and one terrible start (12 runs in 2 innings) that skew the numbers. Take out those two starts and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been amazingly good â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and by all accounts a great influ-

DAVE GLASS

ence on the rest of the staff as well. McDonald and Burnett have been aces thus far and if the Pirates are to stay in contention, they have to keep it going. â&#x2013; Jeff Karstens â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Karstens was injured for much of the first half and struggled at first after returning, but his last two starts before the All-Star break showed what he is capable of: 15 innings, 8 hits, 2 runs, 3 walks, 15 strikeouts. Karstens, at his best, is an ideal No. 3 starter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he works fast, throws strikes, changes speeds, and almost always keeps his team in the game. If heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthy I expect more of the same down the stretch. â&#x2013; Kevin Correia â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Correia has been a whipping boy among die-hard fans most of the first half, and I also wondered at times of he should be replaced â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but his overall numbers are perfectly acceptable for a No. 4/5 starter: 97 innings, 96 hits, 28 walks. His problems are homers (14, a high total) and lack of strikeouts (only 41). His 4.25 ERA is a direct result of the homers, which I expect to decrease (24 is the most heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever allowed) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but I also expect heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll allow a few more singles, evening things out. If he throws 190-200 innings with an ERA around 4.00, what more can you expect from a back-of-the-rotation starter? â&#x2013; Erik Bedard â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I was as pumped about Bedard as anyone this spring â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I figured that if he was healthy, the lefty-friendly dimensions at PNC and his track record of success would make him an ideal fit. The plan looked good through May â&#x20AC;&#x201D; his ERA was 3.12 at that point â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but in seven starts since, five have been very poor and his overall ERA is now 4.80. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nearing the time to consider other options. Many will suggest a trade for a big name, but I strongly favor an internal solu-

tion â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jeff Locke and Rudy Owens have pitched extremely well at AAA Indianapolis all year, and both are deserving of a shot in the majors. I favor Locke because he has slightly better raw stuff and is a lefty â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but Owens has shown exceptional control at every level and has a chance to be similar to Karstens in the end. Neither will ever be an ace, but both could be steady at the very least â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something Bedard quite frankly has not been in any way.

BULLPEN:

â&#x2013; Jason Grilli â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Huntingdon has shown a remarkable knack for building a great bullpen out of other teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; castoffs, and Grilli is the latest (and best) example. He was toiling in the minors a year ago â&#x20AC;&#x201D; today he has a 1.82 ERA, in 34 innings heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allowed only 18 hits, 16 walks and a whopping 55 strikeouts. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allowed four home runs which is a little high, and I expect he will regress somewhat in the second half â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been among the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best relievers all season, and is perhaps the top set-up man in the NL today. â&#x2013; Joel Hanrahan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; superficially his numbers are quite good â&#x20AC;&#x201D; only 20 hits in 35 innings, 36 strikeouts, a 2.31 ERA, 24 saves. But the red flag is the walks: 19 of them, six in his last nine innings of work (against only three strikeouts in that span). His control, especially of his slider, looks to me to be on the verge of really leaving him, which is why I am advocating an off-thewall idea: trade him while he still has value, use the return to get a bat, and promote top prospect Garret Cole. Cole isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready to start in the majors, but his high-90s heat and good control should thrive in a one-inning role, and it would be a good way to ease him into the majors. In any case, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m

very concerned about Hanrahan going forward. â&#x2013; Brad Lincoln â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Average as a starter, excellent in relief â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the heir apparent to Hanrahan in my opinion. Added bonus: he can work 2-3 innings and give the bullpen a break when needed. He was taken ahead of Tim Lincecum in the draft â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for years that looked like a terrible move, but it looks a lot better for the Bucs in 2012. â&#x2013; Chris Resop, Juan Cruz, Jared Hughes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dime-a-dozen mid-90s righties, good in middle relief but prone to blow-up innings. Hughes has a devastating sinker when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on, and these guys serve their role well, but they are best used in low-leverage situations. â&#x2013; Tony Watson â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Pirates really need an effective lefty in the bullpen, and frankly Watson isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting it done. The grand slam he allowed Friday skewed his numbers, but he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been that effective against lefties all year (.300 with a .520 slugging percentage). If Huntingdon doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a big-splash type deal, I look for him to at least find a lefty specialist for the bullpen.

Olympic legend Kupets to appear at Centre Elite Gymnastics

Local sports briefs

World Championships, she tore her Achilles tendon in a practice session, an injury that can be debilitating to most gymnasts. With the Olympics only a year away, Kupets managed a rapid come-back and won the 2004 U.S. National title, all-around title at the U.S. Olympic Trials, and was subsequently named to the 2004 Olympic team. Bundy-Bortz, Kupetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; former coach, now resides in State College and coaches the high-level optional gymnasts at Centre Elite Gymnastics. Through her association with Kupets, Centre Elite is able to share this Olympianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing story. Sports enthusiasts can come hear about Kupetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; successful rise to Olympic status, participate in a question and answer session, and have their picture taken with and autographed by her. Centre Elite Gymnastics, along with several other local businesses, is sponsoring the event as part of the gymâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be a Part of the Olympic Spiritâ&#x20AC;? summer program held in honor of the 2012 Olympics. Admission to the open house is free, although the gym is requesting a nominal $3 donation to help offset photography costs.

From Gazette staff reports

From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Olympic silver medalist Courtney Kupets will take part in a celebrity meet and greet from 2 to 4 p.m. on July 21 at Centre Elite Gymnastics. There will also be an open house as part of the event. Gymnast Courtney Kupets is best known for receiving both a silver and bronze medal at the 2004 Olympics in Athens. As a bar specialist, she garnered the U.S. Olympic teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest score on the uneven bars. Like many high-level gymnastics, Kupets started gymnastics as an active toddler, and by age 7, she was competing regularly. In 1999, Kupets tested to be an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eliteâ&#x20AC;? gymnast, the highest possible designation in womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gymnastics after level 10. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eliteâ&#x20AC;? is a level that is rarely achieved and is reserved for those gymnasts who are able to compete the most difficult skills with exact precision and artistry. This rising gymnastics star trained at Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gymnastics in Gaithersburg, Maryland under coaches Kelli Hill and Jen Bundy-Bortz. Kupets trained approximately 35 hours each week at the same gym that produced Olympians Elise Ray and Dominique Dawes. Kupetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; path to the Olympic games was not an easy one.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT A refresher course in love ‘I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change’ returns to Centre Stage By HARRY ZIMBLER For The Gazette

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State Centre Stage continues its celebration of 10 years in downtown State College with a revival of the popular musical “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change.” The show opens on July 20 at the Downtown Theatre Center. This production, like the one done a decade ago, will be directed by Cary Libkin. “Some people see this as a musical revue,” he stated. “But I have always seen it as a musical comedy. The first half deals with love from the first date up until the wedding. The second act begins with the wedding and deals with all the trials and tribulations of keeping a relationship alive. There is very definitely a story arc to follow.”

The show, with book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro and music by Jimmy Roberts, includes 14 songs that deal with dating, romance, marriage, lovers, husbands, wives, in-laws and more. In addition to Libkin, actor Don Farrell was a major part of the original Centre Stage production. “I am thrilled to return to PSCS and this wonderful production,” he said. Farrell has been a popular performer for PSCS, also appearing in the hit show “Forever Plaid” and “Dames at Sea.” “The thing that really makes this show fun is the fact that four actors play 15 roles in the evening. Seeing an actor transform from a teenager to a married adult demonstrates the magic of acting and costuming,” said Libkin. Despite the fact that this show is being redone by Penn state Center Stage, Libkin has found great excitement and satisfac-

tion in the process of directing. “We have a whole new design and creative team,” Libkin explained. “I am feeling really good about the challenge of doing a show for the second time. This is a completely fresh view compared with the show 10 years ago.” Libkin’s directorial vision is focused on the impact the show will have on its audiences. He explained: “The American playwright Robert Anderson talked about the ‘shock of recognition.’ By that he meant the experience of seeing things unfold on stage and recognizing them from one’s own life The recognition enhances the comedy, what’s unfolding on stage in the story. There’s a lot of truth in this show. And it’s very funny.” While the memory of the first production has faded for Libkin, he does recall that it was a very popular show.

PATRICK MANSELL/For The Gazette

‘The Memory of Water’ to be staged at State Theatre From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — The Next Stage Theatre Company will present “The Memory of Water,” a play by Shelagh Stephenson from July 19 through 29 at the State Theatre in State College. The preview show will be held at 8 p.m. on July 19. There will also be shows at 8 p.m on July 20 and 21, 2 p.m. on July 22, 8 p.m. on July 27, 2 and 8 p.m. on July 28 and at 2 p.m. on July 29. Stephenson is a writer for the popular television series “Downton Abbey.” Critics have said: “both gloriously funny and deeply felt ... Indeed, ‘The Memory of Water’ is so funny that it appears at first to be pure black comedy, with the newly bereaved sisters indulging wildly in witty bickering and ... dress-ups ... Their quarrels over the funeral arrangements, their wellworn family roles, their unsatisfactory men, and their mixed memories of a highly

feminine working-class mother are hilarious ... In ‘The Memory In Water’ Shelagh Stephenson skillfully charts the joyous and painful territory of family relationships with insight and compassion.” The play was the winner of the British Tony — the Olivier Award — for best new comedy. The State College production will be directed by Richard Biever. Jay Shuchter and Mary Skees, producing artistic directors of The Next Stage Theatre Company in State College, chose this play because it presents a complex family situation honestly and incisively, and asks whether there are limits to love, trust and forgiveness. They felt that this theme would resonate with our community at this time. Tickets can be purchased in the studio at the State Theatre in State College, online at www.thestatetheatre.org or by phone at (814) 272-0606.

Village Eatinghouse Marketplace & Café to open By MARJORIE S. MILLER mmiller@centrecountygazette.com

PLEASANT GAP — It won’t be long before the aroma of freshly baked fare fills their café. South Main Street in Pleasant Gap is the site for Clay and Melanie Phillips’ new Village Eatinghouse Marketplace & Café. The deli and café portion of the establishment will offer homemade foods and produce from local farmers. The marketplace will feature artwork, crafts and food from various Central Pennsylvania vendors and artisans, including sculptures, jewelry, books, furniture, music, body products, photography and paintings. “Clay and I will be making the food and cooking it using locallyproduced cheeses and meats,” Melanie Phillips said. Although its official grand opening isn’t scheduled until Sept. 7 and 8, doors will open to

the public at the end of July. With the exception of deli items, “we expect all other aspects of the business to be in full swing by July 26, which happens to be the date of the Pleasant Gap parade and carnival,” Melanie Phillips said. Village Eatinghouse was born out of the Phillips’ love of cooking, grilling, baking, serving and enjoying food with family and friends, said Melanie Phillips. The couple, who live in Pleasant Gap, have more than 20 years of experience in the catering, restaurant and specialty food production industries, they said. “Folks appreciate (us) for (our) kielbasa corn chowder, amazing cheesecake and … sweet and sour Italian dressing and marinade — a must-have for every serious foodie,” Melanie Phillips said. By promoting the marketplace as part of their establishment, the

Phillips’ hope to showcase the “abundant talent central Pennsylvania has to offer,” they said. “Artisans, musicians, authors, craftspeople and specialty food producers find success at local farm markets, fairs and festivals,” Melanie Phillips said. “(We’re) bringing them to you in the marketplace (by) showcasing (their) painting, photography, sculpture, woodworking, fiber arts, jewelry and much more.” The Phillips’ said, through their new business, they are dedicated to “sharing the bounty of Central Pennsylvania” through entertainment and education. “Expect weekly events to socialize,” they said. Melanie and Clay also said they plan to waste less by using environmentally-friendly methods for serving, cleaning, composting and recycling. “Thank you to all of those friends, family and community

Are you cultivating an Apple marketing culture? DAVID M. MASTOVICH

Mac laptops so passersby (or TV and movie viewers) could see the logo right side up. Not many companies will have the marketing capabilities and budget that Apple has. But, regardless of resources, you can still develop a marketing culture. First, make it about them, your target customers. Then, work to create what they want and tell them about it in multiple ways with creative and consistent messaging. It also doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt to create a gamechanging product every couple of years.

the past, Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s product placement in movies and TV shows continues to grow and make up for it. According to Brandchannel, which tracks product appearances, iDevices appeared in more than 40 percent of the movies that topped the weekly box office, almost twice the penetration of the next highest brands such as Dell, Chevy and Ford. Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus on stylish, userfriendly products and creative marketing continues to be a winning combination. The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obsessive attention to detail even included flipping the logo on

size and weight, both tied to the parent companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s digital multimedia content distribution service (Kindle Fire â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Amazon.com, Nexus 7 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Google Play). Microsoft entered the tablet market in June with the Surface tablet. But in typical Microsoft marketing fashion, the release was muddled with pricing and shipping dates unavailable and featured two versions targeting two different markets. The iPad is the clear tablet market leader without significant competition in sight. Apple dominates the market it created in no small part because the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marketing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; product development, naming, introduction and rollout, advertising, PR and Social Media â&#x20AC;&#x201D; continues to top the competition, even in the post-Jobs era. While the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advertising the past year has not been as memorable as in

Various reports have the iPad garnering 68 percent of tablet market sales. Those same studies show the iPadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share of web surfing done on tablets is a whopping 91 percent. Staggering statistics. But the iPad also passes the eye test. How many people do you see with iPads at work, home, the coffee shop or other places? Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nexus 7 tablet introduced recently competes more with the Kindle Fire than the iPad: $199 price range, similar
