Fallout Sanctions deal blow to PSU By SAMI HULINGS and CHRIS MORELLI Centre County Gazette
“We saw the construction trucks come up the street and saw the flood of police come of out the stadium and everyone around knew this was it,” he said. “So I decided to go try to get my first and last photo with the statue.” Sywy said he felt sick while having his photo taken because he believes the complete story has not been told. “I feel like the truth will come out in this next trial,” he said. Work began around 6:10 a.m. as more than 30 Penn State and State College police officers formed a line in front of the statue, while workers set up barricades to shut down Porter Road. A fence was soon put up around the statue. Tarps were
UNIVERSITY PARK — There were sighs, moans and some tears in Penn State’s HUB-Robeson Center on Monday morning as NCAA president Mark Emmert announced sanctions against the university. The sanctions will impact the past, present and future of the Penn State football program. Student emotions ran the gamut following the announce- “WE WILL not crumble. ment.

The punishment includes a fouryear bowl ban and the loss of 40 scholarships over four years for the Nittany Lion football program. Penn State was also fined $60 million, which the university will pay over five years. The school will vacate all of its 112 wins from 1998 to 2011. The sanctions opened the door for current Penn State players to transfer. They can do so immediately. Penn State is also on five years of NCAA probation. Most students were enraged by the fact that Penn State and late coach Joe Paterno had to vacate 111 wins. “It’s sad to know that the games played during my time here will no longer exist. They may be able to formally strip us of our wins, but they cannot take our memories,” Sheely said. “One of my favorite memories

University removes Paterno statue By SAMI HULINGS For The Gazette
UNIVERSITY PARK — Jackhammers broke the early morning silence on Sunday in State College as Penn State Office of Physical Plant workers removed the Joe Paterno statue from its location outside Beaver Stadium. For those who had gathered at the statue, the rumored removal became a reality with the arrival of a flatbed truck carrying construction fencing and blue tarps at dawn. As the truck stopped, people rushed to take their final pictures. Stephen Sywy, a senior electrical engineering major at Penn State, was the last person to have his picture taken with the Paterno statue.
Leaders meet to discuss rural natural gas delivery By HARRY ZIMBLER For The Gazette

STATE COLLEGE — Finding ways for Centre County and the region to benefit from the natural gas that flows beneath its ground was the focus of a “Breakfast Before Hours” event Wednesday sponsored by the Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County. The need to deliver natural gas to rural areas was the major item on the agenda. The term “rural gasification” was coined by Centre County Commissioner Chris Exarchos, based on the concept of the Rural

Electrification Act of 1936. That movement delivered electric power to remote regions of the United States that had never been served by another electric utility. It helped fuel an important economic boom that contributed to the nation’s ability to overcome an economic depression, officials at the breakfast said. The viability of this concept for natural gas delivery to residences and businesses in Centre County was explored during the meeting. The event was moderated by Bob McDaniel, vice president of business development for Glenn

stead, many are using oil that’s shipped across the ocean. We need to ask, ‘What’s the benefit for us?’ We need to utilize this energy source that we have in our own county.” Both McDaniel and Exarchos noted that lowering the costs of energy would mean a rise in disposable income and be a major boost to the local economy. “We are not reinventing the wheel here,” Exarchos said. “We think a program similar to the rural electrification efforts of the 1930s will work for natural gas today.

Firearms sales increase New student-aid forms urged By KRISTEN WYATT Associated Press
DENVER — Firearms sales are surging in the wake of the Colorado movie theater massacre as buyers express fears that antigun politicians may use the shootings to seek new restrictions on owning weapons. In Colorado, the site of Friday’s shooting that killed 12 and injured dozens of others, gun sales jumped in the three days that followed. The state approved background checks for 2,887 people who wanted to purchase a firearm — 25 percent more than the average Friday to Sunday period in 2012 and 43 percent more than the same interval the week prior. Dick Rutan, owner of Gunners Den in suburban Arvada, Colo., said requests for concealed-weapon training certification “are off the hook.” His four-hour course in gun safety, required for certification for a concealed-weapons permit in Colorado, has drawn double the interest since Friday. “What they’re saying is: They want to have a chance. They want to have the ability to protect themselves and their families if they are in a situation like what happened in the movie theater,” Rutan said. Day-to-day gun sales frequently fluctuate, but the numbers also look strong outside of Colorado, too. Seattle’s home county, King, saw nearly twice as many requests for concealed pistol licenses than the same timeframe a year ago. Florida recorded 2,386 background checks on Friday, up 14 percent from the week before. Oregon sales on Friday and Saturday were up 11 percent over the month prior. Four days of checks in California were up 10 percent month-to-month. During the past decade, June and July have consistently been the slowest months for gun sales, according to FBI data. Jay Wallace, who owns Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna, Ga., found that his sales on Saturday were up 300 percent from the same day a year ago — making it one of the best Saturdays his business has ever had. He said customers are often afraid when there’s a gun-related tragedy that some
lawmakers might try and push through an anti-gun agenda. “We shouldn’t let one sick individual make us forget and lose sight of freedoms in this country,” Wallace said. Authorities have said that the suspected Colorado shooter, James Holmes, methodically stockpiled weapons and explosives at work and home in recent months. He purchased thousands of rounds of ammunition and a shotgun, a semi-automatic rifle and two Glock pistols, authorities said. On Friday, clad in head-to-toe combat gear, he burst into a midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises,” tossed gas canisters into the crowd and opened fire. The shooting killed 12 people and wounded dozens of others. Police in the Denver suburb of Aurora say Holmes also booby-trapped his apartment. Holmes is now in solitary confinement at a local jail. The rise in gun sales reflects but one of the anxieties created by the shootings. Since the massacre, there have been reports of chaos at movie theaters, apparently sparked by misunderstandings or careless words. A confrontation with an intoxicated man in an Arizona theater caused about 50 people to flee, authorities said. A southern California man was arrested after authorities say he made allusions to the Aurora massacre after the movie didn’t start on time. In New Jersey, a showing of “Batman” was canceled after someone stood up during the movie, opened an emergency exit and then returned to his seat. About 90 minutes into a Monday night showing of “Batman” in Santa Monica, Calif., shrieks from some girls sent about two dozen people sprinting for the exit. It turned out that a large man with a backpack was actually not a threat and was simply having a medical problem. “This was nothing, and yet it startled us and rattled us so much,” said moviegoer Paria Sadighi. Nationally, the shootings have triggered a fierce debate over gun control and whether government has a role in reining in the ownership of firearms.
WASHINGTON — U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan is urging colleges and universities to adopt an easy-to-understand financial aid form to help students make smarter decisions on where to study, how to pay and determine what they’ll owe. The Department of Education and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau are unveiling a “shopping sheet” today that would provide each incoming student with information on the costs of tuition, housing and other fees. The one-page document also is designed to help students figure out how much they would receive in grants and scholarships and what options are available for loans. Additionally, it would also provide details on the percentage of students who graduate, how much the average student pays monthly on federal loans after graduation and the default rate. Colleges and universities will not be required to use the form. Duncan said he will be sending an open letter encouraging all institutions to adopt it. In June, the Education Department announced that 10 universities had agreed to provide information similar to what is in the new form.
The Education Department and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau released findings from a report on Friday concluding that risky lending caused private student loan debt to balloon over the last decade, leaving many Americans struggling to pay off loans they cannot afford. The study focused on private student loans, which spiked from $5 billion in 2001 to more than $20 billion in 2008. The market shrank to $6 billion in 2011 after the financial crisis and a tightening of lending standards. Student loan debt has surpassed credit cards as the largest source of unsecured debt for U.S. consumers; Americans now owe more than $1 trillion in student loans. Duncan said many colleges and universities use student aid letters that are confusing to understand and don’t make clear exactly how much is being offered in aid and scholarships, making it difficult for families to comparison shop. He called the shopping sheet a “step in the right direction.” “All of us share a responsibility for making college affordable,” he said. “And for keeping the middle class dream alive.”

Statue, from page 1 draped over it to shield the removal from view. State College residents Stefanie Yeager and Jill Byrne came to the statue after hearing media reports about the situation. Neither expected the removal to be so soon. “I’m not even an alum. I just live in this town,” Yeager said. “I really think it is a terrible thing to do without giving people a chance to come.” Yeager went on to question whether the removal was being made into a bigger production than it needed to be. “If they’re going to take it down, take it down and leave,” she said. Though Sywy understands why Penn State President Rodney Erickson felt the statue should be removed, like Yeagar, he believes the removal should have been announced. “I support the statement, but giving it a day, or even a couple days before, just set a date,” he said. “Have leadership, a plan and execute it.” Byrne believes by not announcing the removal, Penn State was trying to avoid any sort of scene. “It’s a sneaky way to do it,” she said. Leslie Bleggi of State College came to
Porter Road after hearing about the removal through Twitter while getting her morning coffee. “It’s another cowardice act,” she said of the unannounced removal. “Today in our paper it says Erickson is going to give it another 72 hours to make a decision. At 6:15 this morning, I found out they’re taking it down.” Bleggi said her family had planned on coming to the statue Sunday afternoon to get their last photo with it. The photo was going to be used on their Christmas card. As many like Bleggi voiced their opinions about the removal, Susan Lamby, of State College, simply watched the statue come down through teary eyes. Only one thought came to her mind as workers finally removed the statue at 8:22 a.m. It was of Joe Paterno. “Joe is here today. He is saying ‘Don’t put so much on that statue. It’s not what I stood for,'” Lamby said. Though Lamby said she isn’t blinded by her love and respect for him, she stands by the idea that no one is perfect. “He is ‘the Joe we know,’” she said. But even with the statue removal, Lamby believes Penn State will still be a place of honor. “This place stands for pride and integrity,” she said. “We are what we are.”

It’s going to come from the students’ tuition as academic opportunities are cut to pay these fines. We are going to suffer despite having nothing to do with the scandal.” While she agreed that something needed to be done, she disagreed with the sanctions as a whole. “Did something need to be done? Yes. Are the current players and coaches to suffer from the past actions of others? Absolutely not,” she said. “The NCAA could have taken a different action rather than attempting to kill this ‘culture’ because it dramatically changed when the people in-

volved were removed.” The NCAA bypassed typical protocol for levying penalties and corrective measures, sanctioning Penn State without conducting its own formal investigation. That angered one Penn State alumnus. “Do I think that is what the NCAA meant to do? For all of our sake, I sure as hell hope not. This happened at a school that outsiders call a ‘football school,’ a school that outsiders put the name ‘Joe Paterno’ right after,” said Becky Murdy, a 2010 Penn State graduate who now works for USA Volleyball. “This was one of the worst child abuse scandals in history. This was not one of the worst football scandals in history. Once we separate that, and maybe it is too late, I think that it is as clear as day no athlete then or now or later should take any punishment.” According to Murdy, the sanctions will have little effect on the student body, attendance at games or school spirit. “We are the strongest group in the world. This means nothing. We will remove the gravel that outsiders have thrown on us and we will put on our Penn State gear and stand tall. Bill O’Brien will lead this team and if he has to, he will help lead this university,” Murdy said. “We will not crumble. We will stand next to the victims and recognize what will never happen again and move on. For those that think we won’t fill that stadium every season, I say, watch us.” In deciding the punishment, Emmert said the NCAA considered “what can we do that affects the magnitude of these terrible acts and (ensures) that Penn State will rebuild an athletic culture that went horribly wrong.”

Business owners remain upbeat despite sanctions By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — Despite sanctions from the NCAA against the Penn State football program, business owners in downtown State College don't seem worried about it having a negative economic impact. “I think the local businesses will be OK,” said Mike Desmond, co-owner of Hotel State College for 26 years. “We're probably going to take a dent, but this is Penn State. People here are real fans and they love their football.” Hotel State College operates several businesses in town, including the Allen Street Grill, The Corner Room, Zeno's Pub, Bill Pickle's Tap Room, Indigo and Chumley's. Desmond believes that as long as the Nittany Lions are competitive, fans will still flock to Happy Valley for eight Saturdays a year — bowl ban or not. “We've got a great team and a Super Bowl coach,” Desmond said. “Maybe I'm just being optimistic, but I don't think we'll see a drop in fan support. We've got 110,000 seats and I think the majority of the fans will still come out.” And by coming out on a Penn State football Saturday, fans will be pumping money into the local economy whether it be at bars, restaurants, apparel shops or hotels. Many business owners believe that the NCAA spared State College from the economic disaster that would have come as a result of the so-called “death penalty,” which would have shut down the football program for at least one season — maybe more. Pat Daugherty, owner of The Tavern restaurant, found the silver lining in all of the clouds hovering over Happy Valley these days. “My feeling is that there were a lot of reasons why the school consented to the NCAA without appeal,” Daugherty said.
“One of those reasons was to avoid the death penalty. Everyone realizes that they're going to be affected in one way or another, but I think that we'll come out of this fine.” The seven or eight Saturdays that Penn State plays at Beaver Stadium are obviously a boon economically. After 110,000 fans cheer on the Nittany Lions at Beaver Stadium, they pour into downtown State College to buy merchandise, eat, drink and be merry. The football program sustained an unprecedented blow Monday as the university agreed to a $60 million fine, a four-year bowl ban and a reduction in scholarships. Many wonder if that will impact the number of fans in the stands at Beaver Stadium. Penn State has ranked near the top nationally in terms of attendance. According to the university's website, Penn State has ranked no lower than fourth nationally in average attendance since 1991. Daugherty believes those numbers will stay high because Penn State fans are devoted to the university. “I'm a firm believer that playing sports makes people better students. Now is the time to get behind these student athletes and support them because we are Penn State,” Daugherty said. The death penalty probably would have forced some businesses to lay off workers. It may have caused some to close their doors. “I employ a lot of students. A ban would have definitely affected those part-time employees and probably some of my fulltime employees as well,” he said. But that worst-case scenario was avoided. Come fall, Daugherty expects that it will be business as usual along College Avenue and in the Centre Region. “Now is the time for everyone to step up,” he said. “We need to show the world that 'We Are Penn State' is not just a bunch of words.”

STATEMENT FROM PENN STATE PRESIDENT RODNEY ERICKSON July 23, 2012 The tragedy of child sexual abuse that occurred at our University altered the lives of innocent children. Today, as every day, our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the victims of Mr. Sandusky and all other victims of child abuse. Against this backdrop, Penn State accepts the penalties and corrective actions announced today by the NCAA www.ncaa.com. With today’s announcement and the action it requires of us, the University takes a significant step forward. The NCAA ruling holds the University accountable for the failure of those in power to protect children and insists that all areas of the University community RODNEY are held to the same high standards of ERICKSON honesty and integrity. The NCAA also mandates that Penn State become a national leader to help victims of child sexual assault and to promote awareness across our nation. Specifically, the University will pay $12 million a year for the next five years into a special endowment created to fund programs for the detection, prevention and treatment of child abuse. This total of $60 million can never reduce the pain suffered by victims, but will help provide them hope and healing. The NCAA penalty will also affect the football program. There is a four-year ban on all post-season games, including bowl games and the Big Ten Championship game, and a future reduction in the number of football scholarships that can be

granted. We are grateful that the current student athletes are not prevented from participation because of the failures of leadership that occurred. Additionally the NCAA has vacated all wins of Penn State football from 1998-2011. We also welcome the Athletics Integrity Agreement and the third-party monitor, who will be drilling into compliance and culture issues in intercollegiate athletics, in conjunction with the recommendations of the Freeh Report. Lastly a probationary period of five years will be imposed. It is important to know we are entering a new chapter at Penn State and making necessary changes. We must create a culture in which people are not afraid to speak up, management is not compartmentalized, all are expected to demonstrate the highest ethical standards, and the operating philosophy is open, collegial, and collaborative. Since receiving Judge Freeh’s preliminary recommendations in January, the University has instituted several reforms. Today we accept the terms of the consent decree imposed by the NCAA. As Penn State embarks upon change and progress, this announcement helps to further define our course. It is with this compass that we will strive for a better tomorrow. Penn State will move forward with a renewed sense of commitment to excellence and integrity in all aspects of our University. We continue to recognize the important role that intercollegiate athletics provides for our student athletes and the wider University community as we strive to appropriately balance academic and athletic accomplishments. Penn State will continue to be a worldclass educational institution of which our students, faculty, staff and alumni can be justifiably proud.

Anti-drillers accused of using bad science By KEVIN BEGOS Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — In the debate over natural gas drilling, the companies are often the ones accused of twisting the facts. But scientists say opponents sometimes mislead the public, too. Critics of fracking often raise alarms about groundwater pollution, air pollution and cancer risks, and there are still many uncertainties. But some of the claims have little — or nothing— to back them. For example, reports that breast cancer rates rose in a region with heavy gas drilling are false, researchers told The Associated Press. Fears that natural radioactivity in drilling waste could contaminate drinking water aren’t being confirmed by monitoring, either. And concerns about air pollution from the industry often don’t acknowledge that natural gas is a far cleaner burning fuel than coal. “The debate is becoming very emotional. And basically not using science” on either side, said Avner Vengosh, a Duke University professor studying groundwater contamination who has been praised and criticized by both sides. Shale gas drilling has attracted national attention because advances in technology have unlocked billions of dollars of gas reserves, leading to a boom in production, jobs and profits, as well as concerns about pollution and public health. Shale is a gas-rich rock formation thousands of feet underground, and the gas is freed through a process called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in which large volumes of water, plus sand and chemicals, are injected to break the rock apart. The Marcellus shale covers large parts of Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and West Virginia, while the Barnett shale is in north Texas. Many other shale deposits have been discovered. One of the clearest examples of a mis-
leading claim comes from north Texas, where gas drilling began in the Barnett shale about 10 years ago. Opponents of fracking say breast cancer rates have spiked exactly where intensive drilling is taking place — and nowhere else in the state. The claim is used in a letter that was sent to New York’s Gov. Andrew Cuomo by environmental groups and by Josh Fox, the Oscar-nominated director of “Gasland,” a film that criticizes the industry. Fox, who lives in Brooklyn, has a new short film called “The Sky is Pink.” But researchers haven’t seen a spike in breast cancer rates in the area, said Simon Craddock Lee, a professor of medical anthropology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. David Risser, an epidemiologist with the Texas Cancer Registry, said in an email that researchers checked state health data and found no evidence of an increase in the counties where the spike supposedly occurred. And Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a major cancer advocacy group based in Dallas, said it sees no evidence of a spike, either. “We don’t,” said Chandini Portteus, Komen’s vice president of research, adding that they sympathize with people’s fears and concerns, but “what we do know is a little bit, and what we don’t know is a lot” about breast cancer and the environment. Yet Fox tells viewers in an ominous voice that “in Texas, as throughout the United States, cancer rates fell — except in one place — in the Barnett shale.” Lee called the claims of an increase “a classic case of the ecological fallacy” because they falsely suggest that breast cancer is linked to just one factor. In fact, diet, lifestyle and access to health care also play key roles. Fox responded to questions by citing a press release from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that doesn’t support his claim, and a newspaper story that Risser said is “not based on a careful statis-
tical analysis of the data.” When Fox was told that Texas cancer researchers said rates didn’t increase, he replied in an email that the claim of unusually high breast cancer rates was “widely reported” and said there is “more than enough evidence to warrant much deeper study.” Another instance where fears haven’t been confirmed by science is the concern that radioactivity in drilling fluids could threaten drinking water supplies. Critics of fracking note the deep underground water that comes up along with gas has high levels of natural radioactivity. Since much of that water, called flowback, was once being discharged into municipal sewage treatment plants and then rivers in Pennsylvania, there was concern about public water supplies. But in western Pennsylvania, the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority did extensive tests and didn’t find a problem in area rivers. State environmental officials said monitoring at public water supply intakes across the state showed non-detectable levels of radiation, and the two cases that showed anything were at background levels. Concerns about the potential problem also led to regulatory changes. An analysis by The Associated Press of data from Pennsylvania found that of the 10.1 million barrels of shale wastewater generated in the last half of 2011, about 97 percent was either recycled, sent to deep-injection wells or sent to a treatment plant that doesn’t discharge into waterways. Critics of fracking also repeat claims of extreme air pollution threats, even as evidence mounts that the natural gas boom is in some ways contributing to cleaner air. Marcellus air pollution “will cause a massive public health crisis,” claims a sec-
tion of the Marcellus Shale Protest website. Yet data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration show that the shale gas boom is helping to turn many large power plants away from coal, which emits far more pollution. And the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency passed new rules to force drillers to limit releases of methane from wells and pumping stations. Some environmental groups now say that natural gas is having a positive effect on air quality. Earlier this year, the group PennFuture said gas is a much cleaner burning fuel, and it called gas-fired power plants “orders of magnitude cleaner” than coal plants. Marcellus Shale Protest said in response to a question about its claims that “any possible benefit in electric generation must be weighed against the direct harm from the industrial processes of gas extraction.” One expert said there’s an actual psychological process at work that sometimes blinds people to science, on the fracking debate and many others. “You can literally put facts in front of people, and they will just ignore them,” said Mark Lubell, the director of the Center for Environmental Policy and Behavior at the University of California, Davis. Lubell said the situation, which happens on both sides of a debate, is called “motivated reasoning.” Rational people insist on believing things that aren’t true, in part because of feedback from other people who share their views, he said. Vengosh noted the problem of spinning science isn’t new, or limited to one side in the gas drilling controversy. For example, industry supporters have claimed that drilling never pollutes water wells, when state regulators have confirmed cases where it has.

Minnesota has what has been dubbed a “New Town Rate.” Delaware has established an infrastructure expansion rate for consumers. Florida, Maine, Nebraska, and Utah have established programs, as well, officials said. “We have a public interest in clean energy,” Exarchos said. The safe, efficient delivery of that energy to less populated regions in Centre County and beyond is critical, officials said. “This region will grow, and we need to be prepared for it,” according to McDaniel. “We have an abundance of natural gas and we need to create a vision for using it.”

Gannon asked: “Who should bear the costs of this gasification? It could be a combination of new customers, existing customers, and public funds. Half the consumers in Pennsylvania use natural gas. But this is not true in rural areas. The issue of extending service to these areas is a very timely topic. Natural gas prices continue to stay low.” A number of other states are already looking at ways to fund the gasification of less populated areas, according to Bedell

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Stranded driver thanks Samaritans My wife, Sadie, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many people who stopped to offer us aid and comfort when our car broke down near the top of one the steepest hills in Bellefonte. As we are both in our 90s, you can imagine our dismay when we found ourselves stranded by the side of the road in temperatures nearing 100 degrees. But our worry soon turned to gratitude as driver after driver stopped to offer their help and assistance. One young woman brought us water and insisted Sadie rest in her air-conditioned car until help arrived. So, thank you one and all for your care and concern. We will never forget your kindness. Charles Hosterman Centre Hall
Reader’s thoughts are with the children I watched Jerry Sandusky's trial. I am amazed that so many people allowed the fact that football was more important than children's lives. If I had a child who would even consider Penn State after this, I would refuse to expose them to this environment. It's a bed of lies and cover-ups — and forever damaged. I want everyone involved held accountable. Also, no one can undo the damage done to the children. It makes me wonder what else Penn State has covered up. I only wish that someone had morals and values that would represent what a college education was supposed to be. It is scary that such events were taking place for so many years. Nothing was done. God help the children. My prayers are with all of them. Girlie Mathews Alexandria, Va.

The hypocrisy is sickening By now you’ve had time to digest the Freeh report, the removal of the Joe Paterno statue, and the NCAA sanctions. We all have our opinions about the various events that have rocked this valley for months. As I’ve meditated on the topics, and the harm that has come to my alma mater, I am struck by the incredible rush to judgment that has occurred in the past few weeks. I understand that the university needed to reHarry Zimbler is a move the statue, freelance writer but I wonder if it who resides in could have hapPennsylvania without Furnace.

the NCAA relished the opportunity to pile on and grandstand here? What good, exactly, is hurting today’s athletes and students going to do? Apparently the sins of the fathers are truly visited upon the sons. The thing that is most disgusting is the sanctimony surrounding the entire episode. I am tired of listening to the self-righteous, self-aggrandizing, totally abhorrent hypocrisy from the media, especially ESPN. These talking heads spend untold hours telling us about the “culture” of Penn State and Happy Valley. They don’t know what they’re talking about, but do not feel compelled to know. They tell us that we worship at the altar of football and can never allow our football program to dictate behavior. In the first place, Penn State is better than most schools when it comes to graduating its student athletes. In the second, every major football program is big business; in many cases, bigger than Penn State’s business. It seems to me that college football is entirely too important in all cases.
I find it amazing that the “jockocracy,” as Howard Cosell dubbed them, feel they have the obligation to lecture us about making football too important. Meanwhile they are all making a very nice living talking endlessly about college football. It’s that kind of hypocrisy that makes it hard to swallow what they are dishing out. I can’t help but wonder what would have happened if ESPN and its various outlets hadn’t stoked the fires for weeks on end. Wouldn’t it have been more correct to let the criminal justice system mete out punishment to the people who actually committed the transgressions? One more thing that the “jockocracy” never took into account is the fact that Penn State is a world-class research institution that does a whole lot more than recruit football players. I heard one of those dolts actually say that Penn State — the university, not the football program — would never recover from this. That’s just nonsense promoted by a badly informed commentator who clearly has an ax to grind.
Massacre beyond comprehension The Aurora, Colo., theater shootings represent one of law enforcement’s worst nightmares: a “lone wolf” killer acting with no accomplices and with no discernible motive other than a sense of burning resentment and persecution, opening fire in a public place. The instant judgment is that the attack came without warnings. But evidence of impending violence will turn up as police delve into Dale McFeatters is a the background columnist for of James Holmes, Scripps-Howard 24, a dropout News Service. from a University of Colorado-Denver doctoral program being held for killing 12 and wounding nearly 60 more, at last report.

Columbine High School killings — law enforcement knew that one of the two young shooters was deeply troubled — if anybody had bothered to follow up on them. A report on Army Maj. Nidal Hasan — who in 2009 murdered 13 soldiers and civilians at Fort Hood, Texas — concluded that the FBI could have known, should have known, Hasan was a threat but, through a series of gaffes and gaps in the system, failed to act. The report coincidentally was released the day before the Aurora murders. Even when the signs are detected, U.S. legal and health care systems are poorly set up to deal with troubled individuals deemed only potential threats. Seung-Hui Cho, 23, a sullen loner who killed 32 classmates and himself at Virginia Tech in 2007, had been so identified and referred for psychiatric counseling for which he failed to show up. Inevitably, amateur social and political theorists will link the Aurora killings to some deep flaw in American culture. Indeed, only a few hours after the killings, various ideological websites
were shamelessly bent on exploiting the killings for political advantage. Some even linked the killings to the movie playing at the time, the muchanticipated Batman sequel, “The Dark Knight Rises.” But except for easy access to highpowered semiautomatic weapons, there is nothing unique to the United States about lone-wolf mass killers. A compilation by the Associated Press shows that in the last 10 years there have been similar killings in Norway, Azerbaijan, Finland (twice) — and Germany. If you factor in mass killings where there is some semblance of motive — race, religions, ethnicity — the United States is not even close to being dangerous. It is of no comfort to the victims’ families and to the survivors. But these lone-wolf killings come as such a horrendous shock because statistically they are so rare. What frightens us is that we don’t understand the killers and their crimes — and given the complexities of human nature and the dark recesses of the mind and heart perhaps they are incapable of being understood.

Blood donations drop as temperatures peak From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — With extreme heat keeping some donors at home and severe storms forcing the cancellation of dozens of blood drives earlier in the month, the American Red Cross continues to have an emergency need for donors of all blood types. If at least two additional donors give at each blood drive through the end of July — above what the American Red Cross already expects to collect — the blood supply would be sufficient to meet patient needs. Red Cross blood donations are at the lowest they have been in 15 years. Public support from the organization’s late-June appeal helped temporarily stop a decline in the blood supply. However, the mid-week Independence Day and extreme summer weather have contributed to a decrease in donations lately. “We cannot thank enough the blood donors who have already rolled up a sleeve this summer,” said John Hagins, CEO of the Greater Alleghenies Blood Services Region. “We appreciate the support from donors received during the current appeal. We’re encouraging all eligible donors who didn’t have a chance to give yet to step up and help patients by making an appointment, as well as those who gave earlier in
the spring and are now again eligible.” Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood. As the nation’s single largest supplier of blood and blood products, the Red Cross is dedicated to ensuring that every patient who needs a lifesaving transfusion is able to receive one. In fact, the Red Cross must collect more than 17,000 pints of blood each day to meet the needs of patients at more than 3,000 hospitals and transfusion centers across the country. All blood types are needed to ensure an adequate blood supply. Donors with type O negative, O positive, A negative or B negative blood are especially encouraged to give this summer.

CATA donates natural gas bus to CPI Students at science and technology institute will benefit from gift STATE COLLEGE — The Centre Area Transportation Authority recently donated a compressed natural gas powered bus to the Central Pennsylvania Institute of Science and Technology. According to CATA General Manager Hugh A. Mose, “the CATA Board of Directors approved the donation of the 1996 CNG-powered Orion bus that was taken out of service earlier this year. I know I can speak for the CATA Board of Directors when I say how pleased we have been with our partnership with CPI.” For several years, CATA has provided technical expertise and consultation to students in the CPI Commercial Driver’s License Program and also provided several CATA buses to be used by the school for training purposes. With the acquisition of a CNG-powered bus, CPI students in the Diesel Technology program will be able learn the intricacies of compressed natural gas engines as well. “Final approval of the construction of our new, expanded Transportation Center has been received,” said Todd Taylor, director of adult education at CPI. “This valuable donation from CATA will add a significant training tool not only to our CDL Program, but to our expanding Diesel Technology program. With strong demand from the Marcellus shale region, trained drivers and technicians are in short supply and CPI’s new Transportation Center will provide the training for great-paying jobs well into the future.” Taylor pointed out that construction of the CPI Transportation Center will begin later this season. CPI has extensive experience in teaching specialized driver/operators, including CDL Class A and B truck drivers as well as diesel technicians. The school also trains heavy equipment operators. Classes for those interested in training in one of these high demand fields are forming now. A complete schedule of classes is available free by calling CPI at (814) 359-2793 or toll-free 1- (877) 968-7388.

Economics professor honored for anti-trust research, writing From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — Dr. Robert Marshall, liberal arts research professor of Economics and head of the Department of Economics, was recently honored with the prestigious 10th annual Jerry S. Cohen Memorial Fund Writing Award, along with his co-authors, for their groundbreaking analysis of economic circumstantial evidence of an- ROBERT MARSHALL titrust price-fixing conspiracies. The winners were recognized for their article "Plus Factors and Agreement in Antitrust Law,” published in the Michigan Law Review in 2011. The article analyzes a challenging
and unsettled area of antitrust law-the different types of economic circumstantial evidence that can be used to establish the existence of an antitrust conspiracy. The authors are: William Kovacic, George Washington University Law School; Marshall; Leslie Marx, Fuqua School of Business, Duke University; and the late Halbert White, University of California, San Diego. They received their awards at the 13th annual conference of the American Antitrust Institute in Washington, D.C. With the approval of Hal’s widow, Teresa, the authors have agreed to donate the award money to The Halbert L. White Memorial Director’s Fund, which will advance the mission of the Higher Achievement Program, an afterschool and summer academic program designed to close the educational opportunity gap for middle school youth in at-risk communities. Each summer, approximately 150 students from the higher achieve-
ment program visit Penn State for two days to experience a university environment. The Jerry S. Cohen Memorial Fund Writing Award was created through a trust established in honor of the late Jerry S. Cohen, an outstanding trial lawyer and antitrust writer. It is awarded each year to the best antitrust writing during the prior year that is consistent with the principles of economic justice that animated Jerry S. Cohen’s professional life. It is administered by his former law firm Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC. In addition, Professors Marshall and Marx are authors of a new book The Economics of Collusion: Cartels and Bidding Rings, published by MIT Press. The authors, who have studied collusion extensively for over two decades, offer an examination of collusive behavior: what it is, why it is profitable, how it is implemented and how it might be detected.

Car show held to benefit Toys for Tots By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — The third annual “Christmas in July” car show to benefit the Toys for Tots program was held in the parking lot of television station WHVL on East College Avenue in State College on July 21. About 40 cars and motorcycles were on display, in spite of threatening rain for much of the day. Show organizer and Marine Corps League member, Gene Weller, said that WHVL started the show in 2010. The Marine Corps League oversees the Toys for Tots program in Centre County. Weller has been the coordinator for that program for 26 years.
Weller is also an agent for Allstate Insurance Co., which owns the Hagerty Insurance Co., which specializes in insuring antique and classic vehicles. Hagerty sent a field representative to State College to assist in organizing the event. A variety of vehicles were shown at this event. One very popular car appeared to be an undersized 1940 Ford woody station wagon, but a closer look reveals it to be a modified rear-engined 1969 Volkswagen Beetle. Owner Andy Krishak, of Spring Mills, said the 1940 Ford-like front end is a fiberglass aftermarket item, mated to the stock VW cowling. Krishak fabricated all the wooden body panels with the
help of Potters Mills cabinet maker Jeff McClellan, and spent a total of five years building the car. The maroon colored woody is featured in this month’s issue of Dune Buggies and Hot VW’s magazine. Dan and Susan Gilette, of Moshannon, drove down in their dark blue 1963 Corvette Sting Ray coupe. This car features a fastback roof line with a split rear window, which was offered only in 1963. Despite its rarity and value, the Gillettes take the Corvette on many long drives. They get many waves and thumbs-ups from passers-by. “Sometimes we forget we’re in the Corvette, and wonder why everyone is waving at us,” said
Susan Gilette. Scott Richner, of Bellefonte, brought his blue 1965 Mustang GT-350 fastback to show. Richner said he found the Mustang in Mount Pleasant Mills, in 1992. “It was really rough — totally rusted,” said Richner. It required a complete rebuild, and today stands as a great example of the first generation Mustangs of the 1960s. William Bookwalter from Mill Creek showed his 1956 Chevy Belair four-door hardtop. The fourdoor is a seldom seen body style that has the clean look of a hardtop (with no center pillar), but with the practicality of four doors. The Belair was repainted in its original Crocus Yellow and black
two-tone color scheme. A seldom seen make of car was Glenn Ray’s 1955 DeSoto sedan. Ray bought the car in an estate sale, and says it is an original survivor, still showing its original salmon pink and white paint. It features one of the first Chrysler Corp. hemi engines, a 331 Cubic inch Fireflite 8, with an automatic transmission. Ray says he drives the SeSoto all year, and drove it to the show from his home in Tyrone. In addition to the vehicles on display, a silent auction was held, as well as a 50-50 drawing, all to benefit the Toys for Tots program. Food and automotive-related vendors were present and live music was provided by the group Bandit.
Salvation Army asks community to help students From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — The Centre County Salvation Army has issued an urgent call for support in the Centre Region for students returning to school in the coming months. Each year, the Centre County Salvation Army’s Back-to-School Program provides
clothing, a backpack and school supplies to hundreds of children in need throughout Centre County. “We’re in the midst of a perfect storm,” said Salvation Army program manager Steve Williams. “More families than ever need our help, but we’re behind on donations as compared to previous years.” “For many families, this is the time of
year when they start thinking about purchasing school supplies,” said Salvation Army Captain Chuck Niedermyer. “For the 18 percent of people that live below the poverty level in Centre County, this can be extremely stressful, both financially and mentally. We’re here to ease the burden for some of those families.” In 2011, the Salvation Army supported
598 students through the Back-to-School program and needs the support of our community to maintain those levels in 2012. Donations can be made to the Back-toSchool Program by contacting the Salvation Army at (814) 861-1785 or by mailing or dropping off donations to 2603 E. College Ave., Suite G, State College, PA 16801.

Gov. Tom Corbett signed the legislation, which authorized the renaming of the bridge early this year. Rep. Camille “Bud” George sponsored the original legislation, which authorized the bridge renaming. New Enterprise Stone and Lime Company was the contractor on the $3.9 million bridge reconstruction project. The Mary Ellen Tiesi Memorial 9/11 Bridge is located approximately 70 feet upstream from where the previous bridge stood. PennDOT opened the new bridge to traffic in late 2011.

Bellefonte Art Museum’s showcases ceramics By KAREN DABNEY For The Gazette
BELLEFONTE — The Bellefonte Art Museum’s Earth and Fire exhibit showcases five of central Pennsylvania’s finest ceramic artists: Chris Staley, of State College; Jake Johnson, of Potters Mills; Ian Stainton, of Bellefonte; and Jack Troy and Carolanne Currier, who share a studio in Huntingdon. The exhibit opened on July 20 and will continue through Aug. 12. “This is local art but it could be in a national show,� Johnson said at the opening reception on July 22. Looking around the gallery, it was hard to disagree with him. The displayed ceramics presented a visual feast of diverse styles, glazes, textural effects and firing techniques. Stainton, who also attended the reception, said that Chris Staley is internationally known, and one of the best potters in the country. Staley is a distinguished professor of the Ceramic Arts at Penn State, with work in major collections, including the Smithsonian Institute’s Renwick Gallery and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. At first glance, Staley’s porcelain white slip vase looked like a traditional wheel-thrown pot, but the green glazed surface had unusual textures that added to the impact. Stainton said Staley coated the still wet porcelain with white slip (liquid clay), made horizontal finger marks in the slip, then scraped away part of the slip with a tool to create a more complex and interesting surface. Staley’s tall sculptural blue faceted porcelain vase combined parts thrown on the wheel with hand-built elements, and his black clay memory box was hand-built from slabs of clay, with sculpted elements on the lid. The works seemed like mon-
uments to a greater purpose than mere aesthetics, and an explanation of the artist’s thoughts would have been welcome. The four other artists exhibited predominantly functional ceramics, including vases, teapots, bowls and cups. “I’m all about texture," Stainton said. Originally from England and primarily self-taught, he moved to America in 1992, and has been a full-time potter since 1972. “It’s not easy,� he said. “I work seven days a week. Most potters do.� He makes bisque ware (fired but unglazed ceramics) for other potters in their styles, for them to glaze and sell. He also sells his own distinctive style of pottery, and has been an exhibitor at the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts for 19 years. All of his pieces had intriguing surface treatments that invited the viewer’s touch. The textures of the salt-glazed lidded jars were created by scraping and shaping the surface with tools. His other pieces had surface patterns resembling small mosaic tiles. Stainton said he obtained that effect with a special separating glaze. Most of his work was porcelain, but he had one stoneware bowl on display. Johnson has been working in clay for 12 years and obtained an MFA in ceramics from Penn State University in 2008. He has won several awards in juried shows, including two at the 19th Annual Strictly Functional Pottery National in 2011. Johnson said he creates some sculptural pieces, but most of his work is functional, such as the Shino glazed and gas fired teapot, ewer set, and spotted stoneware jar on display. The high gloss Shino glaze on some of his work created a lovely luminous pearlescent effect. His work includes flowing, organic shapes, especially evident in his imagina-

He said in a written statement that he tries to give his work a sense of movement, growth, and breath, and a feeling of animation. By sharing a studio and a wood-firing kiln, the Jack Troy and Carolanne Currier had the greatest commonality in their work, yet each had a distinctive style. Troy, a potter, writer, and workshop teacher, has won over 60 awards, published two books and 80 articles about ceramics, and has taught over 200 workshops in the United States and abroad. Currier, his partner, built a kiln for soda firing after savoring the soda-fired pottery of Australian artist Gail Nichols, and specializes in both wood and
soda firing. They both worked in stoneware and porcelain, and used a similar palette of earth colors: white, beige, blue gray, sienna orange. Troy’s displayed pieces were more formal and structured than Currier’s more spontaneous and organic ceramics. In addition to the Earth and Fire exhibit in the main gallery, the museum offered two additional new shows. The Community Gallery featured "Into the Deep," Ellie Taraborrelli’s shadow boxes, lithographs, etchings, and acrylic paintings of young girls and mermaids. The current Tea Room Gallery exhibit is a three artist show featuring Dana Morrison of Spring

Mills, Sean Bodley of Lemont, and Elody Gyekis of Spring Mills. Morrison’s macro photographs created colorful abstract images from deteriorating, interesting surfaces. Bodley used pen, watercolor and gouache for his representational and abstract drawings on clayboard. Gyekis’s acrylic paintings included fantasy images, abstract patterns and self-portraits. The Bellefonte Art Museum, at 133 N. Allegheny St., Bellefonte, is open from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m, Friday through Sunday. Admission is free; donations are accepted.

The Fresh Life: For the love of dogs Wilma and Stan Aungst have turned their love for dogs into a full-time passion. Although the couple, Stan, a senior lecturer for security and risk analysis at Penn State, and Wilma, who works for donor services in development at Penn State, have careers, their love lies in raising German Shepherds at their beautiful home among the state game lands near Bellefonte. After the love and loss of many dogs, trial and error, and plenty of research and help from a homeopathic veterinarian, Wilma has come up with the ultimate feeding schedule and formula for her six shepherds. The love for the German Shepherd breed started many years ago. One of their first shepherds was an AKC registered shepherd from a breeder in Florida. The dog was skinny and its coat was thin and after $1,000 dollars worth of testing, they found a hole in the esophagus of the dogs throat not allowing food to enter its stomach. The couple fed him from a ladder, which allowed the throat to Amy Debach-Conbe at an angle for fer is a photograproper consumption. pher and picture They had this dog for framing professionapproximately seven al. She can be years until the next reached via email episode of chance. at mosd14@yahoo. com or through her While Stan was on the Web site at PSU campus, a large www.amyruth white mixed shepherd photography.com. breed approached him. The girls who were following behind the dog asked if Aungst wanted to adopt the dog. He couldn’t resist. Unfortunately, that dog passed away at a young age and the couple continued to rescue shepherds who seemed to have uncommon ailments and would break their hearts when they passed. Wilma explained in detail the story of how she obtained each one of her dogs and how each one had passed. “All these dogs seemed to have ailments. We bought the best dry dog food and gave them fresh well water but, they always died of strange diseases,” she said. She explained that she liked to give her dogs strong warrior names but no longer does so because warriors don’t live long lives. The stories were uplifting and heartbreaking in the same manner. Wilma decided to find an online breeder of true and well-bred German Shepherds so she could raise one from a puppy and know that there was better structure, coat, temperament and drive to start with than an older rescues which came with unidentified backgrounds. She started obedience training with the dog and the sport of Schutzhund, which is

what the Germans use to determine breed worthiness by testing the strength, temperament, endurance, confirmation and tracking, for instance. At one point, Aungst even attended a world Sieger show in Germany, which is basically the best male dog contest. She said it was a “wonderful experience.” As Aungst continued obedience with training for her Shepherd she became interested in traveling to watch and learn about showing and wilderness search and rescue dogs, which she and one of her Shepherds became involved in for awhile until she decided to stop. “Let others who are more passionate about (search and rescue) or with more courage do it,” she said. Continuing to show and learn, Aungst also became broken-hearted by the death of another dog. With the passing of any dog she thinks, “What can I do better?” Aungst sought the advice of a homeopathic veterinarian located in Berkley Springs, W.Va., in hopes of improving her dog’s immune systems. With the help of this vet and her own research, Aungst switched feeding her dogs commercial dry dog food which has unknown ingredients and toxins to a whole organic diet. The original feeding plan consisted of 20 percent overcooked grains, 40 percent Leona ground meat and 40 percent vegetables. Wilma has started to eliminate grains though because grains turn to sugar, and there has been no change in the dog’s health by eliminating them. Aungst tries to simulate what the shepherds would eat naturally, if in the wild such as quinoa and millet as opposed to oats and barley. In addition to the mix, a vitamin C complex in powder form, vitamin E in capsules, and ABC plus, a horse supplement which is full of minerals, is given daily. The dogs also get their daily dose of omega 3’s through salmon, flax seed or hemp oil. Through research Aungst has found that feeding seasonal diets are important as well. By adjusting supplements and vegetables the dogs stay naturally healthy year round. She found that dogs can have seasonal allergies which the proper diet could manage. Also, things like pumpkin are great for a dog with an upset stomach. Currently, the Aungsts have a strict routine with the shepherds. Upon waking, Wilma takes the two “house” shepherds outside while her husband cleans the kennels (this happens three times per day). She then brushes each dog and lets them take turn having “house time” while she prepares cottage cheese and homemade kefir and gets the meat out for the evening feeding. The dogs also get Stoneyfield Organic yogurt and carrots as a snack. After work and before entering the house, Wilma greets her six shepherds then spends the better share of an hour cleaning dishes, preparing the vegetables and dividing up portions of the mixture for the dogs. Two of the shepherds get a supplement for hip displasia that keeps the cartilage and joints healthy. As well as the mix, each dog gets a

serving of chicken with bone. This includes the neck, thigh or wings. The couple’s biggest attribute for the successful feeding of their shepherds is the butcher shop where they obtain the raw dog food mixture. Leona Meat Plant in Troy, Pa., which is owned and operated by Chick and Mike Debach, have been providing approximately 160 pounds of the meat mixture consisting of heart, tongue, liver, kidney and suet meat for about five years. Also, the hearts, livers, gizzards, and neck of chickens are ordered. Every three to four weeks Stan Aungst make the trip north to visit the USDA inspected butcher shop that prides itself in providing custom cut meats and old fashioned hickory smoked products. The couple feed the German Shepherds approximately 5 pounds of meat per day. Although she doesn’t show the shep-
herds anymore, they continue to do some tracking work and obedience training and to reiterate boundaries and because they enjoy the one on one attention. The couple has installed a high tunnel greenhouse on their property in order to raise vegetable for themselves and the shepherds and anytime Aungst is not working at Penn State, she is spending time with her dogs. She is “extremely passionate,” about her six German Shepherds. “I get a lot of enjoyment out of them,” she said. They have a 50-by-90-foot safe space to run and play and a great diet of Leona meat, vegetables, vitamins and cultures. Aungst attributes their healthy weight, great attitude, happiness and overall health to the diet. “Food is medicine,” Wilma Aungst said, “and medicine is food.”

al Bank. Children paid 25 cents for numbered rubber ducks, which were placed in the water of the mill race by Green Drake Art Gallery co-owner Gary Gyekis. The current carried them about 150 feet downstream to the finish line netting at the bridge over Penn Street. Several heats were run, with some having a clear winner, and others in the photo finish category. The finish line judge and duck retriever was Josh McCracken. In two heats, the duck bearing No. 1 finished dead last. Some ducks seemed to “make their move” halfway down the stretch, suddenly passing other ducks to take the lead. The children and adults cheered as the ducks neared the finish line. The winners received prizes of reading and activity books. A puppet show was presented in the Inglebean Coffee House on Main Street. Puppeteers Dana Morrison and Abby Minor used marionette puppets made locally by Jessica Thorpe. The show was titled “The Ingleby Mon-
ster,” and takes place in the tiny village of Ingleby, southeast of Coburn. The show told the story of a frightening furry creature labeled a monster by the citizens of Ingleby, but as the lead character, named Ingleby Man, discovers, is just trying to be friendly. He befriends the monster and shows the townspeople that the so-called monster is not to be feared. After the puppet show was concluded, human versions of the monster and Ingleby Man showed up and sang a song whose lyrics said, in part, “remember that things aren’t always what they seem.” The capacity crowd at the Inglebean cheered and applauded the performance. The Green Drake Art Gallery hosted a kids’ arts and crafts time, where children painted pictures with instruction from Karl Leitzell, artist and co-owner of the gallery. Leitzell said he sees a renaissance occurring in Millheim, with many new businesses opening recently. “Millheim is becoming a destination,” said Leitzell. “Not just a town you drive through on your way to somewhere else.”

Jacksonville celebrates with annual festival By AMY DEBACH-CONFER For The Gazette
JACKSONVILLE — The Jacksonville Festival was held on July 21. The festival is organized each year by the Jacksonville Cemetery Association and is always held on the third Saturday in July. Many people have traveled Jacksonville Road which is a lovely road peppered with farms and is a rural extension of Interstate 99. While driving, most people turn left to go to Howard or turn right to go to Hublersburg at a four way intersection about seven miles from I-99. There are only a handful of people who continue straight through that intersection, where the little community of Jacksonville can be called home. The community is a cluster of old homes along the road where neighbors say hello as they get the morning mail and where residents may occasionally find a farmer’s loose cow standing in their lawn. The community of Jack-
sonville rests in Marion Township and was originally inhabited in the late 1700s. My home was built in 1850 along with other homes and businesses such as a school and meat market which are no longer in operation. The one thing that still remains in the community is the Emanuel United Church of Christ and Jacksonville Festival, run by the Jacksonville Cemetery Association, a separate entity of the church. The cemetery association broke away from the church around 1930 and the festival began around that time. It was originally held on ground close to the church but, as that ground began to fill up with gravestones, the association decided to move the festival. It was held in one other location before it found its permanent home on the approximate eight to 14 acres of property purchased from what use to be the “rest home.” The festival continues to take place on a small hill overlooking the community. Lloyd Rogers has followed in
his father’s footsteps and has been the treasurer for 35 years. There are seven men on the association board which is composed of five trustees, a secretary and treasurer. The individuals on the board must purchase a cemetery plot in Jacksonville. They are: Jim Stine (president) and Gary Confer (vice-president). The trustees, who uphold the position for three years at a time are Henry Weight, George Boone, Jim Stine and Paul Rogers. The secretary is Dean Rogers and the treasurer is Lloyd Rogers. The festival hasn’t changed much in the past several years. While new games have been added, the festival remains nostalgic. In the 1960s a building was built in order to house the materials needed for the set up of the festival. It is also where the food such as hot dogs, hamburgers, hot sausage and drinks are served. Another permanent building which was originally part of the Howard Fire Company, was purchased for a mere $501. It was
disassembled, reassembled and added onto, making it 50 feet in length. It sits at the festival grounds. This building also houses materials from year to year but during the festival becomes five to six food stands. One can purchase cake, coffee, soda, pizza and french fries at the building during the festival. Other features at the festival include games such as bingo, a fish pond game, penny toss, a baseball throw, and 25-cent poker, which is run faithfully by George Boone, Jim Stine and Bill Dixon. Other popular activities include spinning a wheel to win a produce basket, purchasing raffle tickets for prizes, and listening to the band. This year, the band was the Lockport Drifters, an old country/bluegrass band from the outskirts of Lock Haven. The money raised at the annual festival is all for fundraising and goes strictly to paying bills and pay for the mowing and care taking of the cemetery. Vice pres-
ident Confer, has been mowing the cemetery for several years. Some of the money raised during the festival also partly go into the memorial fund when a cemetery lot is sold. The festival is organized by volunteers such as Orie Hanley, a Jacksonville community member, who called bingo and George Boone, who helps set up and take down the stands and who assists with the poker game. While the festival is successful, the association is in need of individuals to help set up and tear down the each year. Set up is always held the Monday before the festival and tear down is held the Monday after. Generally, individuals who purchase a cemetery lot are asked to help with the festival. There is no official count on how many people attended the festival this year. “When we see a long line in front of the food stands or the field filling up with cars, we know it’s a good year,” Lloyd Rogers explained.

Last Cruise planned for Saturday By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com
BOALSBURG — The Last Cruise is almost here. The 27th annual Last Cruise will be held on July 28 in Boalsburg and State College. Proceeds from the event will go to the Centre County Youth Service Bureau. According to YSB CEO Andrea Boyles, it’s one of the most popular fundraising events of the year. “We really have something for everyone,” Boyles said. “For car lovers, we’ve got the cars on display. If cars aren’t your
thing, there are a lot of family-friendly events.” The day starts at the Pennsylvania Military Museum in Boalsburg. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., those who have cars and motorcycles to display will be able to get them registered. From 1 to 3 p.m., judging will take place. Awards will follow at 4 p.m. All afternoon, there will be a safe place kids zone featuring a bounce house, dunk tank, crafts and face painting. The only cost will be a $5 parking donation to enter the grounds. “It’s a very economical day for families,” Boyles explained. “There will plenty
of events for the kids. We’ve added the dunk tank this year and we’re hoping to have some special celebrities to dunk.” According to Boyles, the kids zone has gotten bigger — and better. “We’ve expanded it and we’ve added some car-themed events. Kids will be able to decorate their own car and take it home. They’ll also be able to race some small cars,” Boyles said. For the adults, there will be car games, seminars on auto detailing, upholstery and soldering. There will also be raffles, food and discounted visits to the Pennsylvania Military Museum. At 6 p.m., the cars and motorcycles will depart the grounds to cruise around
Beaver and College Avenues in downtown State College. The cruise is expected to last until 8 p.m. Also at 6 p.m., the Best of the Best show will be held on Allen Street. The Best of the Best is expected to last until 9 p.m. “That’s a great chance for car lovers to really look at the best cars in the show,” Boyles said. Boyles is hoping that The Last Cruise will raise around $20,000 for YSB. “It’s not our biggest fundraiser in terms of money, but it’s one of our biggest as far as numbers of people who can get out and enjoy day,” she said. For more information about The Last Cruise, call YSB at (814) 237-5731.

NCAA made the right call Just when it appeared that things couldn’t get any worse for Penn State, they did. Early Sunday morning, Penn State President Rodney Erickson made the call for Joe Paterno’s statue outside Beaver Stadium to come tumbling down. On Monday, the NCAA handed down its sanctions against the school. As expected, the NCAA brought the hammer down on the once-proud institution. The NCAA didn’t give the Nittany Lions Chris Morelli is the the “death penalty,” editor of the Centre but what it did may County Gazette. He have been worse. Here can be reached at editor@centre are the details: countygazette.com ■ An unprecedented $60 million fine, the equivalent of a season’s worth of Penn State football revenue. That money will be placed in an endowment to programs preventing child sexual abuse and assisting its victims.
CHRIS MORELLI
■ The loss of 10 scholarships in each of Penn State’s next two recruiting classes. By 2014, the Nittany Lions’ football scholarships will be capped at 65. It is a crippling blow for a Division I football program. ■ A bowl ban for the next four seasons. Penn State also won’t be allowed to share in the Big Ten’s bowl revenues. ■ All of Penn State’s victories from 1998-2011 will be vacated. That’s a total of 112, knocking Joe Paterno from the top spot on the all-time NCAA Division I victory list. His career total falls from 409 to 298. This is a tough pill for all Penn State fans, alumni and former players to swallow. But it has to be done. Based on the reaction in Happy Valley and around the globe, it sounds as if fans feel that the penalty is too harsh, that the NCAA came down too hard on the football program. I’m here to tell you otherwise. These penalties are well-deserved. Based on the heinous crimes that were committed on Penn State’s campus, in the locker room showers right under the nose of Paterno, I truly expected the death penalty, at least for a season or two. Instead, the NCAA spared Penn State and the local economy. Imagine the economic impact of having no football Satur-
days in Happy Valley. It would be crippling. In many ways, the NCAA did Penn State — and the entire community — a huge favor by not shutting the program down. Yes, the bowl ban hurts. It renders the 12 regular season games meaningless, for the most part. The Nittany Lions can win every single one, but it won’t matter. There will be no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, no light at the end of the tunnel. It’s going to be 12 weeks of scrimmages, 12 weeks of preseason games. I’ve heard numerous fans complain that the current batch of Nittany Lions shouldn’t be penalized because they had nothing to do with the scandal. That’s true. However, there’s always collateral damage when NCAA sanctions are handed down. Just ask USC or Ohio State. Life isn’t always fair, is it? First-year head coach Bill O’Brien has a monumental task in front of him. First and foremost, he has to get his team ready for a Sept. 1 opener. During that time, he has to make sure that none of the current players bolt to another program, which they are now free to do. In a sense, he has to re-recruit them. It’s not going to be easy. At the end of the day, all of that seems fairly insignificant, doesn’t it? What’s needed more than anything in
Happy Valley is a change in the culture. We can no longer put football on a pedestal. We can no longer worship coaches as if they were gods. That helped get us into this mess in the first place. For over a decade, four men decided that a football program, an image and “Success with Honor” were more important than children. That can never happen again. In announcing the penalties, Mark Emmert, the NCAA president, called the case the most painful “chapter in the history of intercollegiate athletics,” and said it could be argued that the punishment was “greater than any other seen in NCAA history.” He said Penn State accepted the penalties when they were presented to the university, and he called its cooperation remarkable. “Football will never again be placed ahead of educating, nurturing and protecting young people,” Emmert said. It’s time to change the culture here. Perhaps four years of bowl-less seasons will do just that. “Penn State can focus on the work of rebuilding its athletic culture,” Emmert said, “not worrying about whether or not it’s going to a bowl game.”

Junior golf taking off in Centre County (Editor’s note: First of a two-part series on junior golf in the Centre Region). Within the Centre Region there are two junior golf tours for players 18 years of age and younger. The North East Junior Golf Tour (NEJGT) is headquartered at Standing Stone Golf Course in Huntingdon under the direction of Scott Stultz. The North Central Pennsylvania Golf Association (NCPGA) serves its 25 member clubs by providing programs and services necessary to encourage the growth of the John Dixon writes a game of golf and is weekly golf column under the direction of for The Centre Jeff Ranck.

JOHN DIXON
NEJGT The North East Junior Golf Tour is a series of junior golf tournaments held over 15 different golf courses between Pittsburgh and Altoona during June, July and August of 2012. All events are held on weekdays in the morning. There is also a one-day Tour Championship in August at Scotch Valley Country Club in Hollidaysburg. All members are entitled to play in the Tour Championship. The 2012 season marks the 14th year having played 225 tournaments with a total of over 3,500 members since its inception in 1998. Like anyone else in the golfing business, Stultz is finding that today’s economy is affecting the membership on the NEJGT. The number of participants during previous seasons would number in the hundreds but thus far the numbers for 10 tournaments have averaged a mere 31 players in the various age groups. “The kids might want to play and a lot of them play for the fun of it (golf ),� said Stultz. “A lot of them don’t want to play in the competition and I understand that but there was a lot more playing in the past than play today. And I think that is everywhere and I don’t have an answer for that. You can’t blame the expenses because I don’t think it’s all that expensive but today’s kids do have other things to do. They play soccer. They play baseball. They play everything. And maybe, to some extent, computers have something to do with it, too. They sit at home and play with those things.� Now retired after 35 years in the insurance business in Hollidaysburg, Stultz, a 1959 Penn State graduate, was a member of the Nittany Lions’ golf team and played for the legendary coach Joe Boyle, who died in 2008 at the age of 87. His son, Jeb, is the golf pro at Centre Hills in State College. “Joe and I remained good friends for the rest of his life until he died a couple of years ago,� Stultz said. “My wife and I became very close to Joe and his wife Dolly and would go to State College often for lunch with them. I really liked Joe a lot and he was the coach and we had a great time.� Since his retirement, Stultz is finding that the junior golf tour at least keeps him busy during the summer. “The way I got into this (junior golf tour) was a friend of mine said you are always there (around golf) so you might as well do it,� Stultz said. “At least this gives me something to do, I just wish there were a lot more kids playing the game. It’s a lot more fun than the insurance business, I can tell you that. I really didn’t like insurance.� Stultz’ grandson, Sean Brennan, of Hollidaysburg, was also a member of the NEJGT and became the PIAA golf champion in 2006 after shooting rounds of 73-71144, at Heritage Hills Golf Resort in York. Brennan played golf at Georgia Southern before transferring to Maryland and played for former Centre Hills golf professional Tom Hanna, he currently is on the staff at Oakmont Country Club. Other NEJGT members that played in college include Jimmy Gilliam, of Tyrone, and Anthony DeGol, of Altoona, and a member of the Penn State team. Several other former members from the Pittsburgh area went on
to play college golf. “And that’s pretty good,� said Stultz of the success of the NEJGT. “Besides Gilliam and DeGol there were six others that have played in college and that’s a success story for this tour. Two of the current members of the tour, Garrett Bastardi and Ty Gates, have been having success this season. Bastardi, son of local weather personality Joe Bastardi, has won twice in the boys’ 16- to 18-year-old Oakmont Division. Gates, in the boys’ 13-to 15-year-old Oakmont Division, has captured three events. “I shot a 1-under par (73) so I was really pleased with that,� said Gates of his round at Standing Stone. “First three holes I was 1-under and then I managed to just keep it (round) going. The back nine it seemed the greens changed speed but I managed to adjust toward the end of the round. I thought I shot pretty well on the back (39) so I thought, overall it was a good round.� Like Tiger Woods, Gates has been around the game of golf for a long time, his father, Mike, is an outstanding golfer in his own right and has won the State College Elks Country Club Championship several times. “The first time I swung a golf club I was 2 years old,� said Gates. “My dad is my biggest inspiration that I’ve had to keep playing and he’s also a great coach. He really helps me when I need help.� Gates, 15, a soon-to-be sophomore at State College, likes Johnny Miller as his golfing idol and with good reason. He is a member of the Little Lions golf team and the roster will lose five seniors opening more opportunities for Gates. “I find myself a lot like him in that I hit the ball straight, not like all the other pros that hit it everywhere,� Gates said of Miller’s game. “I just want to hit the ball straight down the fairway, straight on the green and two-putt and try to shoot close to even as I can. “With the loss of so many seniors, we will have a big void to fill this season,� stated Gates. “So we are hoping that we will be able to have more players come out and help us win districts and then the states.� Only 15, Gates still looks to the future and hopes the game of golf will be part of that dream. “I am looking toward finding a Division II school to play for,� said Gates. “Hopefully I can get some scholarship money, get a degree and find a profession in the golfing industry. Golf is not like any other sport in that I’ve played for over a decade and it is by far the hardest sport I’ve ever played. I’m still working on it unlike basketball, where I just keep playing and I just do the same thing every day. Golf is something new everyday and you are faced with a different challenge every day. You have to learn it all over again and challenge the golf course.� At this recent NEJGT event, Bastardi carded a round of 40-39, 79 to win the boys’ 16- to 18-year-old Oakmont Division. Bastardi was a member of the State College golf team as a freshman and will enroll in St. Joseph’s Catholic Academy in Boalsburg this fall and play for coach John Muto. “I started golfing when I was probably 6 or 7 years old,� explained Bastardi. “My dad put a club in my hand and I’ve loved the game ever since. The more I played, the more I really enjoyed the game and after a couple of years of getting better I thought I could be pretty good at this game. “We (family) belong to the State College Elks Country Club and I’ve managed to shoot several rounds of 67 there,� stated Bastardi. “I also shot a 5-under 67 on the Penn State Blue Course. I just can’t seem to get off that 67 mark.� While it was his father Joe that put a club in his hands, Garrett credits his grandfather Matthew Bastardi as the big influence in his golf game. “My grandfather was really the big influence in my getting into the game of golf,� explained Bastardi. “My grandfather showed me several tips and gave me lessons on how to play the game of golf. I owe an awful lot to him for the success I’ve had in this game. He has helped my golf game tremendously. I also look to Tiger Woods and how he plays the game. I want to emulate his style that no one can make your shots for you, it’s all up to you.� Bastardi gets his athletic talents from his parents. Father Joe wrestled at Penn State while his mother Jessica (Strunck) was a captain on the Nittany Lions’ gym-

count in golf and, more importantly, in life,� explained Scott Stultz, director of the NEJGT. “Through approximately 15 junior golf tournaments, starting in June and ending in mid-August, the Tour provides and environment where juniors with an interest in golf can discover that through hard work, dedication and perseverance,� Stultz said. “The participants will build character that will allow them to succeed and excel at whatever they do. “Through playing on the Tour, members meet others from throughout the region and establish friendships that will last a lifetime.�
GOAL OF THE NEJGT “The goal of the North East Junior Golf Tour (NEJGT) is to provide a venue where young people can enjoy all that competitive golf has to offer, and to instill in each junior the value of a strong work ethic and the fact that good character and integrity

THE CENTRE COUNTY GAZETTE
SOUTHERN TIER CHAMPS
The Glass Eye: The Penn State perspective Typically I leave commentary on Penn State to managing editor Chris Morelli — but between the Freeh report, the statue removal and the NCAA sanctions I feel compelled to add my voice to the chorus. Last November I penned a column regarding this scandal and if you didn’t read it I encourage you to do so now — and before I go on, know that I stand behind everything I wrote that day. Perspective. It is crucial when making big decisions, yet so easily lost in the heat of the moment. Events like this tend to polarize people — I’ve talked to many people who more or less want Dave Glass is a to shut Penn State columnist for The down for this, I’ve Centre County talked to as many (or Gazette. Email perhaps more) who Dave at buggyjust want to know racer@verizon.net. when the football season starts and think Joe Paterno is an unwitting victim. Such polarity does not lend itself to consensus, nor to good decisions unless appropriate time is taken to consider all facets of a situation. Consider that every Hall of Fame requires a five-year waiting period before voting on retired players — why? Perspective. After five years, it’s much easier to gauge a player’s entire career, not just the last few seasons which more often than not are the worst of his career. In some cases, time does not clear a player of controversy (hello, Pete Rose), but in most cases it allows for a clearer discussion and debate about a player’s relative merits. If we are willing to take some extra time to make sure Hall of Fame voters have proper perspective, should we not attempt to do the same after negative events? Note that I’m not specifically referring to the Freeh report here. I know that some are critical of the Freeh report, including the Paterno family (as an aside, what did anyone expect, that a report that is critical of Joe Paterno would be happily accepted by his wife and children? I’m not sure why their statements are newsworthy.) — but I think almost everyone would concede that the report was thorough and that the university wisely both funded and fully cooperated with the investigation. It would be hard for me to argue that the report was completed in haste, or that Mr. Freeh and his colleagues were given anything less than free access to all available information. As a result I believe the report is quite credible, thorough, and describes a culture in need of change. I’m also not referring to the removal of the statue. Penn State had no options there, they either had to guard the statue 24/7 or risk recurring vandalism. There was no need to keep this as a headline story, so I believe that in the current tension-filled environment, the statue had to come down. No, I’m referring to the NCAA’s incredibly hasty sanctions. I find it extremely disturbing that the NCAA bypassed their own investigation protocols here. Typically an NCAA investigation takes well over a year,
DAVE GLASS
and sometimes many years to reach conclusions. SMU received the only NCAA death penalty to date, for the 1987 season — for violations that occurred from 19791983. I acknowledge that the Freeh report was a big help to the NCAA, allowing for a much shorter investigation — but I still would have expected the NCAA to take a few months to corroborate that report and draw their own conclusions before imposing sanctions. I believe the NCAA lost perspective and got caught up in the hype surrounding this situation and in so doing, imposed sanctions that may not have the effect they intended. Forget about the vacated wins. That’s a purely symbolic move aimed at Paterno’s legacy. Forget the fine. I think it’s a great move and worthy but it won’t affect the culture one bit. Focus on the “meat” of the sanctions: a 4-year bowl ban and loss of scholarships. How, exactly, will this change the culture? Look at USC, Alabama, Ohio State. This situation is more serious than all of their scandals, yet the punishment is remarkably similar and unlikely to make any substantive change. Alabama has been on probation three times in the last 20 years, with associated bowl bans and loss of scholarships. They are the defending national champions. USC suffered little from the Reggie Bush pay-for-play scandal and is projected as a top five team once again. Sure, Penn State may be down a little for a year or two, but I doubt they will field teams as poor as the 2000-2004 Lions. Those squads went a combined 26-33, including 7-16 in 2003-04. Throughout those poor seasons, Beaver Stadium was almost filled every week. Given Penn State’s incredibly soft nonconference schedule the next three years, I find it almost impossible to believe they will finish any season below .500 — and I think it’s likely they will have at least one season with 10 wins. The football-crazed fan base will rally around even the slightest success, and by 2017 I think things will be more or less back to the way they were — different leaders, same program. Is that really what the NCAA wanted? In my opinion the NCAA should have taken a deep breath, allowed this season to go on as scheduled — even with the cloud of scandal hanging over it — and taken some time to really review what the best options were. It’s also my belief that a one-year shutdown in 2013 would have been more effective than the sanctions that were actually imposed. That would have forced everyone to take a step back and revisit how important football really is relative to the rest of the university. In short, it would have allowed a little perspective. At one point I believe Penn State really did do things “the right way,” and that “The Grand Experiment” was a noble undertaking. As with so many things, however, the program got so big and so successful — and the people surrounding it so powerful — that protecting the program and themselves became more important than anything else. That does not make anyone other than Sandusky a monster, it makes them human — corruptible, flawed, just like the rest of us — and reinforces the need for powerful checks and balances, not just at Penn State, but in every organization.

Lemming predicts Lions will rebound in 5 years By RON MUSSELMAN StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Nationally renowned recruiting guru Tom Lemming has heard about all the predicted gloom and doom in Happy Valley. After the harsh NCAA sanctions issued against Penn State two days ago, who hasn’t? The Nittany Lions were dealt a four-year bowl ban and a reduction of 10 scholarships per year for a similar time frame. It wasn’t quite the death penalty, but it was a mighty kick to the gut for a onceproud football program. Several experts believe Penn State will face long-lasting recruiting issues and won’t be competitive again for more than a decade. And yet there are others who question whether the football program will ever recover from the tragedy related to former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky’s child sex abuse scandal. But not Lemming, who has been one of college football’s top recruiting experts for decades. When he sorts through the harsh penalties and looks ahead, he sees something that beleaguered Nittany Lions’ fans will like: A bright future. “Five years from now, I am 100 percent
sure everyone will be talking about the resurrection of Penn State football,” Lemming told me on Tuesday. “I really believe that. “And a few years after that, I think they’ll work their way back up to being a national championship contender again.” Lemming, an analyst for CBS Sports, does agree that the next two years will be very hard on first-year coach Bill O’Brien in regards to recruiting. “The one key word in recruiting is always BILL O’BRIEN perception,” Lemming said. “And right now the perception of Penn State is at rock bottom. Weathering the storm the first two years is a big challenge for Bill. Two years from now, it will all be forgotten. Well, it will never be forgotten, but people will start moving on. “By the third year, those Class of 2015 kids could come in, be redshirted that first year, then play in four bowl games. And by the fifth year, Bill should be ready to hit a grand slam. “After the four-year ban is over, that fifth year, if they can go 6-6 — which I think they will have a real good shot of doing —
they would go to a bowl game. The bowl committee people, knowing how well Penn State travels, will be falling all over them to get Penn State, especially since at that point it should be evident what they have done to change their perception. “Penn State’s got great facilities. They got great tradition. They are a powerhouse program. They got a great student body, great academics. It’s just going to take time to heal.” O’Brien has been talking daily to his recruits who have verbally committed for the future, including highly regarded tight end Adam Breneman and quarterback Christian Hackenberg, who both remain in the Class of 2013 for now. O’Brien has been promoting a chance to get a great education; the opportunity to play in front of 108,000 fans on TV in Beaver Stadium; to play in “six or seven bowl games a year” at home against quality opponents; and a chance to develop into an NFL prospect. “I think if coach O’Brien can keep his players on the team right now focused and staying loyal to Penn State, and keep the top guys that are still in the recruiting class, they will be fine,” Lemming said. “Obviously, Penn State’s penalties are different than USC’s, but they’re somewhat similar in that USC had a two-year
bowl ban and lost 30 scholarships (over three years). USC has overcome that. They’re No. 1 in recruiting right now and they haven’t skipped a beat.” Penn State, which could lose some key players through transfers, also is facing the prospect to having to deal with no more than 65 scholarship players for four years while their opponents will have 85. Lemming believes the school should give O’Brien a contract extension even before he works his first game. He has a fiveyear contract worth a guaranteed $2.3 million per season through January 2017, but his team is facing a four-year postseason ban. I asked O’Brien Tuesday if that is enough time to work his magic, given all the sanctions. “I’m the type of person that doesn’t worry about contracts too much,” he said. “I’m just really concerning myself about doing the best job I can every day. I’m really committed to this football team. I told our players that. “At the end of the day, I’m out here to do the best job I can for Penn State and for the players and the coaching staff. That’s what I try to do every day.” That predicted doom and gloom? For now, at least O’Brien and Lemming can see a ray of hope.
Eight of the biggest vacated wins under Joe Paterno By BEN JONES StateCollege.Com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Fourteen years of Penn State victories have been cleared from the record books. While the NCAA may no longer recognize them, here are eight of the most important games wiped from the slate of the Joe Paterno era. They are listed in no particular order, and with 111 of Paterno’s vacated wins to choose from, many have been left off the list. ■ Penn State-Ohio State 2005 Considered by many to be the loudest, and one of the most important games in the modern era of Penn State football, the resurgent Nittany Lions took on No. 6 Ohio State, winning 17-10. The first whiteout on national TV and a ruckus crowd helped turn Beaver Stadium into one of the toughest places to play in college football. The victory spring boarded Penn State onto the national stage once again. ■ Penn State-Michigan State 2008 Fans braved freezing cold temperatures to watch Penn State dismantle the Spartans, 49-18, for a share of the Big Ten Conference title and a trip to the Rose Bowl. The game was the signature moment for seniors Derrick Williams, Jordan Norwood and Deon Butler, who enjoyed their last game in Beaver Stadium after four long years as one of the most heralded receiving corps in Penn State history. ■ Penn State-Florida State 2006 A triple overtime 26-23 thriller went down as one of the great bowl games in Penn State history. Paterno faced off against coaching rival Bobby Bowden for the seventh and final time in their storied history. The victory capped off a

year which saw Penn State return to the nation spotlight, finishing the year ranked third in the nation. ■ Penn State-Ohio State 2001 Quarterback Zack Mills led the Nittany Lions on an 18point comeback against the Buckeyes securing what was then Joe Paterno’s 324th victory, good enough to pass Bear Bryant for the overall lead in victories. The game featured a 66-yard touchdown run by Mills, which helped bring Penn State back into the game. ■ Penn State-Northwestern 2010 Before this game, the 18-point comeback against Ohio State had been the largest comeback in Beaver Stadium history. A Matt McGloin-led offense bettered that number, coming back from 21 down to beat Northwestern, 35-21. It marked Paterno’s 400th career victory. ■ Penn State-Northwestern 2005 Down by three points with only 1:39 left in the game, Michael Robinson led the Nittany Lions almost 85 yards down the field for the game-winning score to take a 35-29 lead. While the game itself marked no historical significance, the victory kept Penn State’s perfect season alive. A loss to Northwestern could have crippled Penn State’s season that would eventually bring it back to the national stage. A huge 4th-and-15 conversion kept the drive alive for Penn State. ■ Penn State-Nebraska 2002 In front of a crowd of 110,753, a new Beaver Stadium attendance record, Penn State routed the Cornhuskers 40–7. Rich Gardner had his first career interception, returning it 44 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter. Many in Beaver Stadium that night have said that Gardner’s interception was the single loudest moment they have experienced in Beaver Stadium. The victory marked Penn State’s first over a top-10 team since 1999. The game also acted as a source of revenge following Penn State’s undefeated 1994 season, where the Nittany Lions were passed over by Ne-

braska for a national title. ■ Penn State-Illinois 2011 In the cold and the snow, a 0-0 halftime score was nothing to stick around for. Many fans left Beaver Stadium for warmer cover but missed what became a memorable evening. Silas Redd took a 3-yard run into the end zone to give Penn State a 10-7 lead with only 1:09 remaining in the game. Illinois was able to get within field goal range, but as time expired, a 42-yard field goal bounced off of the right upright and Paterno became the all-time winningest coach in major college football with 409 victories. The game would be Paterno’s last at the helm as the ensuing bye week led to the beginning of the Jerry Sandusky scandal. Paterno was fired Nov. 9.

Movie review: The Amazing Spider-Man By ALEXANDER J. SICREE For The Gazette
In a summer filled with superhero movies, “The Amazing Spider-Man” is probably the least hyped movie because it arrived between the long anticipated “The Avengers” and “The Dark Knight Rises.” Despite this, the movie stands very well on its own primarily due to the strengths of its lead actor. “The Amazing Spider-Man” is a reboot of the previous Spider-Man movies; it retells the original story. The first half of the movie isn’t too different from the beginning of the first Spider-Man movie, which came out a decade ago. Seventeen-year-old Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) is bitten by a spider that has undergone genetic tampering. The resulting super powers initially cause Peter to panic until tragedy strikes his Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) giving Peter a sense of mission and gradually turning him into a superhero. The action then picks up. Peter must protect the city from a scientist (Rhys Ifans) who has inadvertently turned himself into a lizard-like creature that has nefarious designs for the city of New York. Further complicating matters is the fact that the Chief of Police (Denis Leary), who also happens to be the father of Peter’s girlfriend Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone), has decided that the mysterious Spider-Man is a dangerous vigilante who must be captured. The movie’s biggest strength lies in Garfield’s acting talents. He is quite convincing in his portrayal of the painfully awkward Peter Parker and his panic upon
discovering that he possesses superpowers is much more realistic that Toby Maguire’s “gee whiz” reaction in the 2002 version. The film’s humor is also another strength, particularly in the scenes between Peter and Gwen. There is only one notable way in which this movie reboot falls short of the original and that lies with the interaction between the film’s hero and its villain. In superhero movies it is necessary for the battle between the hero and the villain to be personal on some level. This was handled extremely well in the 2002 “Spider-Man” with the almost paternal way that Norman Osborn looked upon his son’s best friend. Unfortunately in the reboot that emotional connection is simply not there between Peter and this film’s Curt Conners. The pair have only one or two interactions before Conners undergoes his Jekyl/Hyde transformation. Another way that this film falls short of the first one is the way in which the New Yorker’s reactions to the superhuman activity is presented. The original film’s passers-by throwing things at the super-villain was much more plausible than the reboot’s helpful construction workers. Despite these minor qualms the film is definitely worth seeing and the only reason that its box office take isn’t much higher is that it is being released between two even more highly anticipated superhero movies and moviegoers may be a little tired of superheroes. The movie is rated PG-13 and parents should be aware that it contains considerable, though rarely fatal, action violence.

GAS LIGHT CAFE owner Catania Groft helps make cappuccinos for a customer at the Gas Light Cafe.
Gas Light Cafe opens under new ownership PHILIPSBURG — The Gas Light Cafe is open for business. Earlier this year, Catania Groft purchased The Gas Light Cafe. Groft and her crew plan on creating a friendly and casual atmosphere offering a quality food menu. “I would like our Cafe to be an integral part of the community, by focusing on purchasing as much as possible locally,” said Groft. “We want a quaint and friendly atmosphere for the local community to enjoy a good cup of coffee and/or a quality meal with their friends and neighbors.” The new chef, Jessica Lobb, is also a local and has spent time in California. Lobb is bringing a fresh west coast flavor to Philipsburg. Some of the new items include a new and fresh attitude, longer hours, breakfast hours, homemade tortillas, cobb and chopped salads, sweet and salty chocolate chip cookies, peach and blueberry cobbler, cappuccino and more to come. The Cafe will also be offering special events and BYOB happy hours in the future. Groft is a third-generation business owner in Philipsburg. Her grandfather
was Charles A. Jones and ran an insurance company, her father was Bud Jones and he ran the Chas. A. Jones Insurance Agency with his mother. With Groft’s family history in Philipsburg, she said she is pleased to be located in a historic building where clothes where manufactured in the 1920s. “I am confident, given Catania’s creativity, drive and determination that The Gas Light Cafe will continue to grow and become an important fixture in the downtown Philipsburg business community,” said David Jordan, with the Penn State Small Business Development Center, whose office has been involved since the beginning assisting with guidance on the sales agreement and the development of a business plan. “The services offered and the counseling provided by the Penn State SBDC are worth their weight in gold,” Groft said. The Gas Light Cafe recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony. State representative Scott Conklin was on hand to offer a few remarks and to assist in the ribbon-cutting.
Academy to address India’s higher education needs By Penn State Live India’s government wants 20 percent of its young people to have access to higher education by 2020. In order to accomplish this, India needs to train and recruit at least 1 million new faculty members and higher education leaders. To meet this goal and several others, U.S. President Barack Obama and India’s prime minister, Manmohan Singh, launched the 21st Century Knowledge Initiative. Penn State’s Center for the Study of Higher Education (CSHE) is involved with Rutgers University and the Tata Institute of Social Sciences in Mumbai as an award recipient from the ObamaSingh Initiative. Penn State’s role will be through the CSHE, which will develop an Academic Leadership Academy in collaboration with Indian peers and host an India Higher Education Academy in 2013 at Penn State, designed to address the needs of higher education in India. “To meet America’s own higher education leadership needs, the CSHE launched an Academic Leadership Academy to prepare our future leaders,” said Robert Hendrickson, Penn State professor of education and director of CSHE. “This summer we will convene the third annual academy with a full class of academic administrators from a variety of colleges and
universities in the U.S.” Hendrickson said this academy will serve as a model for the India academy. It is expected that three to four vice chancellors and five academic administrators from India will attend the 2012 academy at Penn State to participate and observe in preparation for India’s academy and serve as an advisory committee. “Penn State’s Center for the Study of Higher Education is uniquely wellsuited to help India increase its capacity to meet the higher education needs of its people,” said David Monk, dean of the College of Education. “The center has existed for more than 40 years and welcomes the opportunity to work in partnership with Indian colleagues.” “The critical need to rapidly build human capacity is palpable amongst all the emerging economies, including India,” said Michael Adewumi, vice provost for Global Programs. “It is an area of strength for Penn State and I am delighted that our premier Center for Higher Education is participating in this exciting opportunity.” Other future collaborations include the development of a master’s degree in higher education administration. Another special focus will be on educational policy analysis. For more information, contact Elizabeth Brady at eib10@ip.psu.edu or (814) 321-2967.
