PSU doctor awarded $500K cancer grant By MARJORIE S. MILLER mmiller@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — A Penn State doctor and professor, Andrea Mastro, has been studying breast cancer and its bone metastasis for many years. Now, a $500,000 grant from the U.S. Army Medical and Materiel Command Breast Cancer Program is helping her further that research. Mastro, professor of microbiology and cell biology, has been studying bone metastasis, one of the common outcomes of breast cancer, for more than 10 years. Her “long-term, overarching goal,” she described, is to find some aspect of bone cell

metastasis that will allow it to be successfully treated. “As of now, there is no real cure for bone metastasis,” she said. According to her studies, breast cancer cells frequently metastasize to the skeleton where they grow and ANDREA MASTRO cause bone loss. “The cancer cells do not themselves destroy the bone but disturb the balance of the normal bone remodeling cells, osteoblasts and osteo-

clasts,” Mastro’s research summary, found on Penn State’s biochemistry and molecular biology website, states. Mastro said one of her main areas of interest is the immune system, and she has taught the Principles of Immunology for many years. “The source of immune cells is the bone marrow, which is also the place where cancer cells often metastasize,” she said. “A colleague, Dr. Carol Gray, is an expert on bone cells. She encouraged me to consider studying how bone cells and other cells in the bone marrow play a role in attracting cancer cells.” The grant, called the Idea Award, allows

By SAMI HULINGS UNIVERSITY PARK — From July 12 through 15, the Centre County Historical Society will join with the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission and the Pennsylvania Heritage Society to host the Pennsylvania Civil War 150 Road Show, a 53-foot expandable tractortrailer exhibit about the Civil War and its impact on Pennsylvania. Housed in the Bryce Jordan Center parking lot, the Civil War 150 Road Show will include numerous accounts of how Pennsylvania residents experienced the war through interactive features, an LED-lit map, Civil War era photographs and music, hands-on artifacts, animated stories, online scrapbooking and a story recording booth. The exhibit is free and open to the public. Mary Sorensen, the executive director of the Centre County Histori-

Some of them can remain dormant, especially in the bone, for many years. Then they begin to grow again. It is not known why.” Along with her colleague Dr. Erwin Vogler, professor of materials science and engineering at Penn State, Mastro has been using a three-dimensional bioreactor to

PARTY WITH THE PARROT: Cooper and Oliver Brumberg, avid Pittsburgh Pirates fans, met their favorite team’s mascot last week at the Mount Nittany Medical Center. The Pirate Parrot made a stop on his “Cruise for the Cure” bike, which raised funds to fight prostate cancer.

STATE COLLEGE — Joe Paterno’s family has called on Pennsylvania’s attorney general and former FBI Director Louis Freeh to release all emails and records related to their investigations into the Penn State child sex-abuse scandal, saying a leaker or leakers have used selective emails to “smear” the late coach and university officials. Family lawyer Wick Sollers’ statement released earlier this week followed news reports of leaked emails between administrators about graduate assistant Mike McQueary’s 2001 account of an encounter between former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky and a boy in the showers. CNN reported that one email outlined a change in plans among administrators after Athletic Director Tim Curley spoke to Paterno. “With the leaking of selective emails over

Ice arena construction remains on schedule By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — In his mind, Joe Battista can see it all: the seats, the locker rooms, the offices and — most importantly — the ice. As he walks through the construction site where the Pegula Ice Arena is being built, he can’t help but smile. “You stand there and just close your eyes and imagine where everything is going to be,” said Battista, Penn State’s associate athletic director. “It’s going to be a magnificent facility.” The project — estimated to cost around $102 million — is progressing nicely, according to Battista. “It’s truly amazing. I’m so impressed with the team of people we have working on this project. I spoke at a luncheon the other day and it’s Opinion ............................ 7 Health & Wellness ........ 8, 9 Send Story Ideas To editor@ centrecountygazette.com

clear that more and more people are becoming interested in the project as time goes by,” he said. The project is really beginning to take shape, as evidenced by the steel beams going in. If you look closely, you can see where the seats are going to be. The fact that steel is going in has made area hockey fans sit up and take notice. “There are weeks when I give so many tours of the site I almost feel like a Universal Studios tour guide,” Battista said with a laugh. “But I look forward to going up. It’s fun to go up there, look around and ask, ‘How long will it be until we put this in or how long will it be until we put that in?’ It’s really exciting.” Battista and several others offi-

Emails, from page 1 the last few days, it is clear that someone in a position of authority is not interested in a fair or thorough investigation,” Sollers said in the strongly worded statement. Sollers represents the family of former coach Paterno, who was fired in November and died of cancer less than three months later. Freeh is leading the school’s internal investigation into the scandal. The release of the emails, Sollers said, was “not intended to inform the discussion, but to smear former Penn State officials, including Joe Paterno. The truth is Joe Paterno reported the 2001 incident promptly and fully ... In spite of these facts, however, numerous pundits and critics are exploiting these disconnected and distorted records to attack Joe Paterno.” Paterno, Sollers said, testified for eight minutes before the grand jury that approved charges and “told the truth to the best of his recollection.” Paterno was not interviewed by the university, was not afforded due process or did not tell his story in full, and was not allowed to see the files or records now in question, the lawyer said. Sollers called for the immediate release of all emails and records related to the case, adding that “the public should not have to try and piece together a story from a few records that have been selected in a calculated way to manipulate public opinion.” Spokespeople for Attorney General Linda Kelly didn’t immediately return messages from The Associated Press after the Paterno family released its statement late Monday afternoon. But when asked about the leaks, Nils Frederiksen, a spokesman for the state attorney general’s office, said: “We

do not comment on potential grand jury materials, nor would any such materials be released by this office.” A spokesman for Freeh declined to comment, as did a Penn State spokesman. The emails, first reported by NBC several weeks ago, were unearthed during the Freeh team’s investigation, both the university and Freeh team have said, and were turned over to state prosecutors. They are expected to be discussed in Freeh’s report, which is due this summer. Sandusky was convicted last month of 45 counts of sexually abusing 10 boys. The scandal led to the ousters of school President Graham Spanier and Hall of Fame coach Paterno. Curley and Gary Schultz, a retired school administrator who was in charge of overseeing campus police in 2001, have also been charged with lying to a grand jury and failing to report suspected abuse. They have maintained their innocence. Spanier has not been charged, and prosecutors have said Paterno was not a target of the investigation. CNN reported on the content of the emails on June 30. The emails showed that Curley and Schultz intended to report the allegation, then reconsidered, according to CNN, and that Spanier responded that he was “supportive” of their plan, but he worried they might “become vulnerable for not having reported it.” The change came after Curley spoke to Paterno, as refer-

PAGE 3 enced in Curley’s email to Spanier, according to the report. Spanier sued Penn State in May to try to get copies of his email traffic from 1998 to 2004, citing the pending investigation being conducted by Freeh. Lawyers for Penn State have asked a judge to throw out the lawsuit and said the attorney general’s office, which is prosecuting Curley and Schultz, had asked them not to provide Spanier with the emails. The Paterno family does not know the source of the leaks, Sollers said. Paterno himself was known for his abhorrence for using email and cellphones, let alone modern communication tools like Twitter. “The question that needs to be asked is why this breach of confidentiality ... is not being objected to or otherwise addressed by those in a position of authority,” Sollers said. “It should not be the responsibility of the Paterno family to call for an honest, independent investigation. Given the seriousness and complexity of this case, everyone should be demanding the full truth, not just carefully selected excerpts of certain emails.” Sollers said Paterno didn’t fear the truth and had asked his family and advisers to “pursue the full truth. ... It is the course that we will follow to the end.” Associated Press Writer Mark Scolforo in Harrisburg contributed to this report.

Music Fest draws big crowd to State College By AIMEE MORGAN For The Gazette

STATE COLLEGE — The sun was beaming and so were the smiles. The weather was hot, but not enough to keep hundreds of people all over Central Pennsylvania from visiting the Sixth Annual Summer’s Best Music Fest in downtown State College. Passing Panera Bread on Beaver Avenue, it was hard not to notice the Great Dane-English mastiff mix drooling, enjoying all of the attention from festivalgoers. Dozer’s owner, Andrew Pruss, of Julian, said it was his first time attending the event. “I wanted to bring her out for socialization, and I enjoy the shopping,” he said. It’s a nice event for people of all ages.” His family came in from Ohio to visit and they specifically planned this weekend because of the festival. “I really enjoy the shopping too, and the eating,” said Kate Stone, 13, who is the niece of Pruss. The Downtown State College Improvement District works with the retailers to put this event together every year, according to George Arnold, director of the Downtown Improvement District. “We’ve got an office manager and part-time assistant and volunteers that help to put this together. We have a committee, and the committee has about eight volunteers on it. They work in the retail and they work in the downtown areas, and we’ve been meeting since early February to put this together this year,” George said. Originally a sidewalk sale, since 2006 the annual downtown

street bazaar was a way for the local merchants to get rid of a lot of their overstock merchandise and discount it. Stretching along Allen Street and Calder Way, the bazaar offered deals for shoppers of all ages. It soon turned into a venue for original musicians to play, with three different stages surrounding the bazaar. “We had folks calling from Crescent (Pa.) about two months ago wondering when the street bazaar was going to be happening,” said George. “Folks come for the deals,” he said. George’s wife, Tara, a first-year volunteer, said they have been excited about the whole weekend. “It’s absolutely fantastic. There’s a lot of activities here and wonderful shopping, great culture and great music. For a relatively small town, or small city, we have super activity and life and vibrancy in a downtown area, so we are bringing the community and downtown together. There is a little less congestion and it’s a lot of fun still. Before Art’s Fest, it gives something that the town can look forward to,” Arnold said. George Powell, of State college, owner of GP Audio, has provided the stages, sound and lighting every year. “We have five crew members working around at all the stages. We were here at 5:30 a.m. and most of us got home at 3 a.m. after a bar event. This business is happening on the weekends,” Powell said. Powell said he likes being involved and having a great day of music. “It keeps growing and seems to be more popular every year, which is a good thing,” he said.

Most volunteers are from local youth shelters as residents and staff members. Volunteer Cortney Mason, 22, is a staff member at Burrowes Street Youth Haven, a shelter for kids ages 12 to 18. “We take them in, we give them a roof over their head, we teach them respect. The ultimate goal for us is to have them go back to their parents. We work with the families together, and we really just have a good time with them. And we’re a motivator and a positive role model so then they have someone to follow and learn from us, and we learn from them as well,” Mason said. A staff member of Stepping Stone Transitional Living Program, an affiliate of BSYH asked Mason to help at the festival. “I thought that was a great idea because I’m on staff anyway, so we figured we could bring the group down and we’re all around doing stuff. I’m a student here at Penn State. This is the first time I’ve actually been involved here because I’m not normally here in the summer, but now that I got that job, it’s great experience. It’s nice to come down and see the community events and be a part of the community,” Mason said. According to Arnold, there are numerous activities designed to drive people into downtown State College. “There is a lot of things we do in downtown State College to help bring people in from out of town. Arts Fest is one that we indirectly help out with. People travel from all over to attend that event,” George Arnold said. He said Northwest Savings Bank is a big contributor, along with M&T Bank and Jersey Mike’s subs. Central Pennsylvania Convention and Visitors bureau gave a grant to help out with the event

Zupe, a Grammy nominated composer and musician who likens his music to a mixture of rock, jazz, funk and blues, performed at the Calder Way stage. “That’s my whole name — that’s my legal name, that’s everything,” Zupe said. “I was the early-bird special — had a nice breeze, and it didn’t get ‘bakey’ hot yet. This is a wonderful venue to promote original music — to promote artists that maybe don’t have the spotlight as much as you would see on TV or

hear on the radio. It’s great to go out and support the arts,” he said. Zupe liked the fact that the music fest promoted original music. “This is a pleasant surprise for me. I just like the variety, and the whole people moving through the whole place and experiencing one — the local businesses and the venues that are already here and then two — all these booths and all these crafts-people and different booths also show up at these,” Zupe said. “And of course it’s fabulous that you have three different stages for original music all through this festival. It’s great.”

Corbett seals a few victories in chaotic session By MARC LEVY Associated Press

HARRISBURG — Despite Republican domination of the Capitol, the final hours before Gov. Tom Corbett signed his second budget Saturday night were chaotic, with late-night votes, 11th-hour negotiations to seal deals and several senators almost hollering at each other over an obscure natural gas basin underneath southeastern Pennsylvania. Corbett signed the $27.7 billion no-new-taxes general appropriations bill 15 minutes before midnight Saturday, the centerpiece of several long-term victories delivered by the Republican-controlled Legislature. The bill actually went to his desk Friday, but he waited for passage of companion pieces of legislation that were integral to the budget, crucial to his agenda or adorned with lawmakers’ pet provisions. With heavy support from Democrats, he won approval for two different tax credits: one designed to entice a subsidiary of Netherlands-based oil and gas giant Royal Dutch Shell PLC to build a massive new petrochemical refinery and another designed to advance his agenda to open up taxpayer-financed alternatives to public schools. He also cemented an overhaul of how public school teachers’ classroom performance will be evaluated, and he eased his former chief of staff and longtime friend, Bill Ward, into his dream job of being a judge. But action on many items in the final 36 hours before Corbett signed the budget veered between hastily called committee meetings, last-minute amendments and lastditch talks. The governor had his defeats: Top Republicans blamed him for being unable to sway support for provisions he wanted to encourage more privately run, taxpayer-funded charter schools.

Much of Friday and Saturday was devoted trying to iron out disagreements between House and Senate Republicans on the subject. When compromise efforts finally stalled Saturday, Republicans in each chamber unveiled their own competing education bill dozens of pages long just minutes before voting on them. “It’s clear at this late hour that there’s not sufficient support in the House and the governor’s office just simply hasn’t laid sufficient groundwork for driving this thing across the finish line,” Senate Education Committee Chairman Jeffrey Piccola, R-Dauphin, said Saturday. The budget plan for the 2012-13 fiscal year that began Sunday passed with just 14 Democratic votes. It authorizes a spending increase of about 1.5 percent, largely for debt, pensions and health care for the poor, as well as to help fill an approximately $160 million shortfall in the just-finished fiscal year. Meanwhile, it is projected to deposit around $350 million to $400 million into reserves, cut businesses’ taxes by hundreds of millions of dollars and slash hundreds of millions of dollars from services for the poor, homeless, troubled and disabled. One cut that left many Democrats bitter will end a Depression-era cash benefit of about $200 a month intended for poor adults who are temporarily disabled or unable to work. On Friday, Democrats extracted a concession from Corbett to allow the benefit to last for another 30 days until Aug. 1. Aid for public schools and universities will remain flat — a handful of public schools approaching financial collapse will see a little extra money — after absorbing more than $1 billion in cuts in the just-ended fiscal year. But more new education money, $75 million, went toward tax credits approved Saturday night to reward businesses that contribute to scholarships for students who

transfer to private schools or public schools outside their home districts. As Corbett prepared to sign the budget, a dispute erupted on the Senate floor over a late-arriving provision inserted into a key piece of budget-related legislation. The provision — a moratorium on drilling into the untapped South Newark Basin natural gas reservoir below portions of southeastern Pennsylvania — was championed by Sen. Charles McIlhinney, R-Bucks. Chastised by Sen. Jim Ferlo, D-Allegheny, and Sen. Mary Jo White, R-Venango, McIlhinney shot back, suggesting that he did not know that four-month-old limitations on municipal control over drilling activity would affect his suburban Philadelphia district. “I find it pretty reprehensible that she’s jumping up and saying that she doesn’t like the idea that I’m trying to protect my community when she did just that” in the February law regulating the growth of natural gas exploration that also reserved most drilling fee revenue for counties like White’s that are home to the exploration. Ferlo responded angrily. “I cannot believe the disingenuous descriptions and commentary that I just heard,” Ferlo charged. “People knew full well what the heck they were voting on. ... The fact of the matter is it became a political hot potato for a couple of colleagues from a couple of counties. Now they’re coming here with their tail between their legs and seeking some relief.”

Cancer grant, from page 1 grow bone cells. “We use this model,” she said, “to study the interaction of bone with metastatic breast cancer cells. We proposed that by manipulation of the environment we might be able to study why sometimes the cancer cells remain dormant and other times they grow.” With help from the grant, Mastro and her colleagues hope to discover how the bone cells and extracellular matrix, as well as cytokines and factors produced by the bone cells, switch a cancer cell from dormant to growing. Funds from the grant will be used primarily to purchase supplies and services, Mastro said, and pay the salaries of students and postdoctoral trainees. To apply for the grant, Mastro submitted a pre-application along with some 1,500 others. From these, about 300 applicants were asked to submit a full application. “Our grant was one of about 20 (or) 30 that were funded,” she said. “The grants are reviewed by an expert panel of scientists in the field.” Mastro said a crucial part of cancer, or any other type of research, is making sure there are more young scientists to carry on the studies. “Therefore, it is important to train graduate students,” she said. “This training is important but it is time-consuming and expensive. Research funding is absolutely crucial to carry on.” Mastro serves on the board of the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition, and, according to the PBCC, received a PBCC Refunds for Research Award in 2003. She received a doctorate degree in biology in 1971, and then carried out postdoctoral training at the McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research, at the University of Wisconsin, from 1971 through 1973. Mastro then became a research fellow at the Imperial Cancer Research Fund in London, before returning to Penn State in 1975. She was a research associate for four years until she joined the microbiology department as assistant professor in microbiology and cell biology. Mastro was then promoted to an associate professor in 1983, and full professor in 1989. Mastro’s publications are available at the National Library of Medicine, Medline and Penn State.

Ice arena, from page 1 cially broke ground for the new arena on April 20. However, “Team Pegula” was at work several months before ground was officially broken. For Battista, the arena — being built near the corner of University Drive and Curtin Road — is a dream come true. And while the arena is still very much a work in progress, Battista said that technology takes him through the stages of the construction process. “I’m so intimately involved. I’ll walk out to the site and inside the (construction) trailer and look at the plans on HDTVs. I’m just overwhelmed with the technology they have at their disposal. You can watch things develop in real time. They call it the fourth dimension,” Battista said. The Pegula Ice Arena won’t be ready until the 2013-14 season. The state-of-the-art 200,000-square-foot facility will seat 6,000. It will bring numerous jobs to Centre County. Battista said there will also be an economic boon thanks to all of the hockey tournaments, games, ice shows and other events the facility will house. Erection of the steel beams makes it all the more real. “You can see where the seating will go. It’s coming along quickly,” Battista said. “By the time football season rolls around, people are going to look at it and say, ‘Hey, where did that building come from?’” According to Battista, those who have toured the site have been impressed with what they’ve seen thus far. “Now we can actually take people over there … recruits, donors and sponsors,” he said. “They can see a building taking shape. It gets everyone pumped.”

Fact check: Obamacare By CALVIN WOODWARD Associated Press

WASHINGTON — In promoting the health care law, President Barack Obama is repeating his persistent and unsubstantiated assurance that Americans who like their health insurance can simply keep it. Republican rival Mitt Romney says quite the opposite, but his doomsday scenario is a stretch. After the Supreme Court upheld the law last week, Obama stepped forward to tell Americans what good will come from it. Romney was quick to lay out the harm. But some of the evidence they gave to the court of public opinion was suspect. A look at their claims and how they compare with the facts: OBAMA: “If you’re one of the more than 250 million Americans who already have health insurance, you will keep your health insurance. This law will only make it more secure and more affordable.” ROMNEY: “Obamacare also means that for up to 20 million Americans, they will lose the insurance they currently have, the insurance that they like and they want to keep.” THE FACTS: Nothing in the law ensures that people happy with their policies now can keep them. Employers will continue to have the right to modify coverage or even drop it, and some are expected to do so as more insurance alternatives become available to the population under the law. Nor is there any guarantee that coverage will become cheaper, despite the subsidies that many people will get. Americans may well end up feeling more secure about their ability to obtain and keep coverage once insurance companies can no longer deny, terminate or charge more for coverage for those in poor health. But particular health insurance plans will have no guarantee of ironclad security. Much can change, including the cost. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the number of workers getting employerbased coverage could drop by several million, as some workers choose new plans in the marketplace or as employers drop coverage altogether. Companies with more than 50 workers would have to pay a fine for terminating insurance, but in some cases that would be cost-effective for them. Obama’s soothing words for those who are content with their current coverage have been heard before, rendered with different degrees of accuracy. He’s said nothing in the law requires people to change their plans, true enough. But the law does not guarantee the status quo for anyone, either. So where does Romney come up with 20 million at risk of losing their current plans? He does so by going with the worst-case scenario in the budget office’s analysis. Researchers thought it most likely that employer coverage would decline by 3 to 5 million, but the range of possibilities was broad: It could go up by as much as 3 million or down by as much as 20 million.

ROMNEY: After saying the new law cuts Medicare by $500 billion and raises taxes by a like amount, adds: “And even with those cuts and tax increases, Obamacare adds trillions to our deficits and to our national debt, and pushes those obligations onto coming generations.” THE FACTS: In its most recent complete estimate, in March 2011, the Congressional Budget Office said the new health care law would actually reduce the federal budget deficit by $210 billion over the next 10 years. In the following decade, the law would continue to reduce deficits by about one-half of one percent of the nation’s gross domestic product, the office said. The congressional budget scorekeepers acknowledged their projections are “quite uncertain” because of the complexity of the issue and the assumptions involved, which include the assumption that all aspects of the law are implemented as written. But the CBO assessment offers no backup for Romney’s claim that the law “adds trillions to our deficits.” OBAMA: “And by this August, nearly 13 million of you will receive a rebate from your insurance company because it spent too much on things like administrative costs and CEO bonuses and not enough on your health care.” THE FACTS: Rebates are coming, but not nearly that many Americans are likely to get those checks and for many of those who do, the amount will be decidedly modest. The government acknowledges it does not know how many households will see rebates in August from a provision of the law that makes insurance companies give back excess money spent on overhead instead of health care delivery. Altogether, the rebates that go out will benefit nearly 13 million people. But most of the benefit will be indirect, going to employers because they cover most of the cost of insurance provided in the workplace. Employers can plow all the rebate money, including the workers’ share, back into the company’s health plan, or pass along part of it. The government says some 4 million people who are due rebates live in households that purchased coverage directly from an insurance company, not through an employer, and experts say those households are the most likely to get a rebate check directly. The government says the rebates have an average value of $151 per household. But employers, who typically pay 70 to 80 percent of premiums, are likely to get most of that. ROMNEY: “Obamacare raises taxes on the American people by approximately $500 billion.” THE FACTS: The tax increases fall heavily on upper-income people, health insurance companies, drug makers and medical device manufacturers. People who fail to obtain health insurance as required by the law will face a tax penalty, although that’s expected to hit relatively few because the vast majority of Americans have insurance and many who don’t will

end up getting it. Also, a 10 percent tax has been imposed on tanning bed use as part of the health care law. There are no other across-the-board tax increases in the law, although some tax benefits such as flexible savings accounts are scaled back. Of course, higher taxes on businesses can be passed on to the consumer in the form of higher prices. Individuals making over $200,000 and couples making over $250,000 will pay 0.9 percent more in Medicare payroll tax and a 3.8 percent tax on investments. As well, a tax starts in 2018 on high-value insurance plans. OBAMA: “Because of the Affordable Care Act, young adults under the age of 26 are able to stay on their parents’ health care plans, a provision that’s already helped 6 million young Americans.” THE FACTS: Obama is overstating this benefit of his health law, and his own administration knows better. The Department of Health and Human Services, in a June 19 news release, said 3.1 million young adults would be uninsured were it not for the new law. Obama’s number comes from a June 8 survey by the Commonwealth Fund, a health policy foundation. It said 6.6 million young adults joined or stayed on their parents’ health plans who wouldn’t have been able to absent the law. But that number includes some who switched to their parents’ plans from other coverage, Commonwealth Fund officials told the Los Angeles Times. ROMNEY: “Obamacare is a jobkiller.” THE FACTS: The CBO estimated in 2010 that the law would reduce the amount of labor used in the economy by roughly half a percent. But that’s mostly because the law will give many people the opportunity to retire, stay at home with family or switch to part-time work, since they will be able to get health insurance more easily outside of their jobs. That voluntary retreat from the workforce, made possible by the law’s benefits, is not the same as employers slashing jobs because of the law’s costs, as Romney implies. The law’s penalties on employers who don’t provide health insurance might cause some companies to hire fewer low-wage workers or to hire more part-timers instead of full-time employees, the budget office said. But the main consequence would still be from more people choosing not to work. Apart from the budget office and other disinterested parties that study the law, each side in the debate uses research sponsored by interest groups, often slanted, to buttress its case. Romney cites a Chamber of Commerce online survey in which nearly three-quarters of respondents said the law would dampen their hiring. The chamber is a strong opponent of the law, having run ads against it. Its poll was conducted unscientifically and is therefore not a valid measure of business opinion. Associated Press writers Andrew Taylor and Jim Drinkard contributed to this report.

High court correct to strike valor law The Supreme Court has ruled, rightly in my view, that wearing unearned U.S. military decorations may be despicable — “contemptible” in the court’s words — and in some cases illegal, but it’s not unconstitutional. The First Amendment says harmless lying is protected speech; those who have embellished a résumé, exaggerated a mediocre high school athletic career and served in Fallujah from their mothers’ basement are safe from the law. Just as long as they don’t use their bloated biographies to exploit the goodwill of their fellow Americans toward our military in an attempt to extract money, favors and preferential treatment for honors they neither earned nor deserved. That would be fraud. One of our great virtues, and occasional failings, is that we Americans are inclined to give people the benefit of the doubt. Some did to Xavier Alvarez, who, while running for a low-level office in California — a seat on the local water board — falsely claimed to hold the Dale McFeatters is a nation’s top military award, the Medal of Honor. columnist for Alvarez was unique only in that he Scripps-Howard went for the rarest of medals.

One would have thought Alvarez raised a warning flag or two when he also claimed to have played hockey for the Detroit Red Wings and had once been married to a Mexican starlet. Veterans groups were dismayed by the court’s refusal Thursday to punish with fines and jail those who falsely claim military honors, which Congress intended with the 2006 Stolen Valor Act. But, absent an actual crime, public humiliation, shame and ostracism seem punishment enough. Some of the traffickers in stolen valor are simply con artists and boastful blowhards, but one suspects that others do so to cover up a deep sense of shame that others answered the call and went places where they dared not go and did things that they dared not do. The Pentagon should create a website, easily accessible by the public, where the curious and skeptical can verify the military honors claimed by members and veterans of our four armed services. These decorations mean something, and by all means we should continue to see that they do.

Would you do the right thing? You are in a group. A problem or issue comes up. A discussion follows. At some point, someone in the group makes a suggestion that goes against policy. Maybe it’s the person in charge. Maybe it’s that person who always seems to control the conversation. Other people in the group start looking down, shifting in their seats, tapping nervously with their pencils.

our individual decisions has been documented since the beginning of time. Researchers in group theory have suggested that there are qualities of groups that make them more likely to fall into faulty decision making and groupthink. Groups that feel invulnerable based on their past history of making good decisions. Groups that share stereotypes of those outside of the group. Groups that have a heightened view of their own morality. Groups that perceive pressure from outside the group. Groups that exist in a climate where it’s not OK to express different opinions (i.e., where there is a leader with immense power). Groups that are secluded because of their location or the organizational structure. Mind guards in a group — those people who serve to censor or protect the group from conflict. Groups that rely on rationalization rather than rational decision making. Irving Janus and others who have studied this group phenomenon have identified several situations in which the faulty decision making that is groupthink had tragic and historical implications. The invasion of Pearl Harbor. The Bay of Pigs incident during the Kennedy administration. The Challenger shuttle disaster. According to historians, in these and other similar incidents, someone either knew, had access to the right decision or was aware of potentially negative consequences but doing the right thing became almost impossible. What has become known to some as “the Penn State scandal” may soon be held up as another example of individual group members, groupthink and protecting the organization rather than doing the right thing. In the face of this common but powerful group dynamic, it makes the decisions by those who did break free from peer pressure and who went

against the group as almost heroic. The Clinton County Children and Youth Services social worker who made the first official report of suspected abuse. The mom who wouldn’t let it go. The janitorial staff. The graduate assistant football coach. Their names and contributions in uncovering this scandal are backpage news stories but should be examples to all of us. Character, as they say, is doing the right thing when no one is looking or when doing so won’t get you any personal gain. Doing the right thing when you know the potential consequences is the personification of bravery. Penn State and other organizations like it should take from this long and sordid ordeal that there needs to be in place a confidential and “no fear of retaliation” process to report wrong doing on campus and in university sponsored programs. There needs to be real protection for those people who do the right thing. As for the rest of us, it’s a good lesson in standing up, taking a stand and reporting what we know is wrong, particularly when others are at risk of harm. For most of us, the questions aren’t life and death. Sometimes the results are just hurt feelings or damaged relationships. How many of us have watched a situation at work or in our social circles where someone made a decision that we knew was wrong or would hurt someone else. Are you complicit by walking away or does that just remove you from the situation? Does letting it go one time make it easier to turn away the next time? Do we sit idly by and let it happen? Doing the right thing can be uncomfortable. It sometimes means negative consequences. In many groups, the squeaky wheel gets way more than just the grease. Unfortunately, as we have learned, there can be no other decision.

HEALTH & WELLNESS More than 1,500 tour new medical center From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — More than 1,500 people celebrated the opening of the newly expanded and renovated emergency department at Mount Nittany Medical Center. The week-long event culminated in a community open house on June 23. Volunteers from various departments stood at the ready to give tours to a variety of constituencies including area emergency medical services, The Foundation for Mount Nittany Medical Center, Mount Nittany Health employees and the community. A ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 22 marked the official opening of the $33 million, 56,000-square-foot expansion. Executive leadership as well as medical staff talked about the benefits of this new community asset. “In 2010, we were seeing an average of 50,000 plus patients annually. As the sole ED in one of the state’s fastest growing

counties, volumes at our ED are projected to reach 85,000 annually by 2020. While we clearly recognized the need to expand our facility, we also saw an opportunity to enhance our services,” according to Dr. Theodore Ziff, medical director of the emergency department. “Knowing that every second can be precious in a health emergency makes the efficient design of our new ED facility truly remarkable,” said Kassandra Botti, medical director of emergency medical services at the Mount Nittany Medical Center. Phase I includes 40 new rooms, each with its own restroom for patient privacy and comfort, two trauma rooms, two triage areas, two self-equipped pods, a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Room, a bereavement room, and an isolation room and anteroom. Phase II, which will be completed in the spring of 2013, will include four new behavioral rooms and two more pods.

Get the skinny on Red Cross issues call your summer skin for more blood donors As we move deep into the summer, the sun’s rays are penetrating deep into the earth — and our skin. And each year there is a heated question alive in many people’s minds regarding whether sitting in the sun in good for us or is dangerous. Some who are fair skinned may have more concern than those who have darker complexions. Does sun block really work? What is the best way to get a suntan? Is there a way we can strengthen our skin cells so they are heartier, and prevent sunburn? I hope the following will provide to clarify some Julie A. Wilczynski of these issues. is a traditional Let’s first take a naturopath, counselor of natural look at what causes health, certified sunburn.

Vitamin D picks up calcium from the gut and puts it into the blood. People require vitamin D if they have recurrent nosebleeds, there is lack of exposure to the sun, rickets, low blood calcium, low blood pressure and calcium assimilation issues. Can someone get too much vitamin D and is there a way to counteract too much vitamin D? Yes and this is very important. The key is to elevate vitamin F. The more vitamin F you have, the less sunburn you will have. This is because the vitamin F moves the calcium from the blood into the tissues, making the

tissues stronger, more resistant to sunburn. However, this does not mean that people with very sensitive skin should just depend on vitamin F as sun block. For some it is important to begin the summer with sun block to be able to tolerate sun exposure. Sure signs of hypervitaminosis D or vitamin F deficiency are found in people who get hives, itching or sunstroke. Canker sores fall into this category as well. The remedy is to increase vitamin F. Next obvious question is — what is vitamin F? Vitamin F is composed of essential fatty acids that are required in the human diet. This means that it cannot be synthesized by the body from other fatty acids and must be obtained from food. Vitamin F is found in certain oils. Is it dangerous to sit in the sun, is it hazardous to health? In my opinion it is dangerous to people who are vitamin F deficient. In my home we begin warm weather months exposing ourselves to the sun as much as possible. If the weather permits we sit outside exposing as much skin as possible without sun block to the sun for at least 15 minutes to start with and slowly move up to a full hour. We take our vitamin D and vitamin F year round and have had very healthy results to our exposure to the sun. Both of my children play spring, summer and fall sports and the integrity of their healthy skin is very important to me. There are several different products that contain essential fatty acids and each one is slightly different depending on whether someone has gall bladder issues, degenerative disease, and/or thyroid issues. There is also a product that is an ointment, which provides a layer of protective “skin” on a burn. These can be ordered through my office and I can ship them directly to you.

From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — The American Red Cross blood supply has reached emergency levels with 50,000 fewer pints of blood collected than expected in June.

All blood types are needed, but especially O negative, B negative and A negative in order to meet patient demand this summer.

University Park Regional Medical campus welcomes first students From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — The University Park Regional Campus of Penn State’s College of Medicine welcomed its first group of medical students to begin their core clinical training, in collaboration with local Penn State Hershey faculty, Mount Nittany Medical Center faculty and other medical providers in the community. Thirteen College of Medicine students started their third year of medical education in State College with an orientation session held at Mount Nittany Medical Center on June 29. Bringing medical students to State College from Hershey is part of the new University Park Regional Campus mission — to create an educational environment for training the next generation of healthcare providers and improve access to patient-centered, high quality, cost-effective health care for local residents. Primary care and rural-based medicine are the centerpieces of this mission.

“Back in the late 1960s, our first medical students took a chance and came to Hershey to pursue their dreams of becoming physicians, drawn there in part by the opportunity to be part of something new and by the unique attributes of the College of Medicine, including our commitment to humanities and to primary care,” said Dr. Harold L. Paz, CEO of Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, Penn State’s senior vice dean for health affairs, and dean, College of Medicine. “Just as those early students — now alumni — played a vital role in the development of our institution, this first cohort of students in State College has a unique opportunity to help shape the character of our regional medical campus and to set the bar for those who will follow.” The regional campus will eventually train up to 48 College of Medicine students each year, up to 24 in each of the third and fourth year medical classes. Some of these students may

select to enroll in dual-degree programs as well, through the Smeal College of Business and other programs. Core clinical rotations include family medicine, primary care, surgery, OB/GYN, pediatrics, neurology, psychiatry, and medicine. A residency program in family medicine is also in development, along with various collaborative research initiatives between University Park and Hershey. “We are very pleased to accommodate these future physicians as our inaugural cohort,” said Dr. E. Eugene Marsh, senior associate dean, University Park Regional Campus. “Students will have the chance to spend their entire third year and a portion of their fourth year here, rotating through different specialties and interacting with the State College community in many ways.” Mount Nittany Medical Center, which is striving to become a regional academic teaching hospital, is a committed partner in developing the regional campus.

forward to having life come full circle by helping deliver babies there during my OB/GYN and pediatric clerkships. Living in State College and being a medical student at the same time is very appealing.” Incoming third-year student Amanda Moyer said she was attracted to the regional campus focus on community-based medicine and how it meshes with her desire to help eliminate health disparities facing the nation. “I ultimately see myself living and working in a place like State College,” said Moyer. “I had the opportunity to attend medical school in large cities such as Boston and Miami but decided I want to learn medicine in the same environment where I’ll practice it in the future.” The clinical presence of the regional campus includes five Penn State Hershey Medical Group outpatient locations.

South Hills School alumna named distinguished career school grad From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — A South Hills School of Business & Technology alumna who successfully juggled being a fulltime single mother and student while volunteering and holding a part-time job has been named the 2012 Distinguished Career School Graduate for Central Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Association of Private School Administrators or PAPSA, which represents hundreds of private career colleges and schools throughout Pennsylvania, created the award to bring attention to member schools’ students who have overcome tremendous obstacles or barriers to complete their education, said executive director Richard R. Dumaresq. Brenda Harrison certainly has overcome obstacles. As a single mother with three boys — one in high school and two in college — she knew she needed a degree to succeed in the competitive job market. But she pursued her new career with diligence and tireless motivation. It wasn’t easy. For two years, she was a full-time student and mother, living on her salary from a part-time job. Yet she somehow found time to attentively commit to the diverse needs of her sons, routinely participating in a variety of Boy Scout and church activities. She also gave time to South Hills School of Business & Technology. Harrison was an active member of the school’s Ambassador Service Club, and was a

leader on the school’s Student Forum Organization. In addition, she made herself available as a peer tutor, and volunteered her time wherever there was a need in the school. Instructors in the Administrative Professional program recommended Harrison for this award, said Joan Andrews, public relations coordinator, who nominated her for the award. According to their reviews, she never allowed her personal and financial circumstances to inSubmitted photo terfere with her educational SOUTH HILLS SCHOOL of Business & Technology goals. “She was consistently alumna Brenda Harrison, left, was named the 2012 cheerful, prepared, focused, Distinguished Career School Graduate for Central well-rounded and even-tem- Pennsylvania from the Pennsylvania Association of pered,” Andrews wrote in her Private School Administrators.

Penn College board chair retires, new member welcomed at meeting From Gazette staff reports WILLIAMSPORT — Robert E. Dunham, chairman of the Pennsylvania College of Technology Board of Directors since 1997, has retired. Dunham, who oversaw a significant expansion of the college campus and the institution’s continued rise as a leader in public education, handed over the reins recently to his successor, Robert A. Secor. The board also welcomed a new member, Thomas G. Poole, who serves as vice president for administration at The Pennsylvania State University. “Bob Dunham has been a remarkable leader and excellent chairman,” said Penn College President Davie Jane Gilmour. “He is fair, open and very knowledgeable. He left his mark on the college and on me personally. Penn College is better for his leadership. He will be missed.” Dunham retired in 1998 after a career of more than 38 years at Penn State, where he rose to the position of senior vice president and dean of the Commonwealth Education System.

During his tenure as board chairman at Penn College, he provided leadership for the design and construction of many new campus facilities including the Student and Administrative Services Center, College Avenue Labs, the Madigan Library, the Center for Business & Workforce Development, Rose Street Commons student housing complex, the Construction Masonry Building, and a new main entrance. Renovation of many campus facilities, including extensive work at the historic Klump Academic Center, also was completed during his chairmanship. In April, the Children’s Learning Center at Penn College was named for Dunham and his wife, Maureen, a retired elementary public school teacher who also helped found and administer a nontuition Friendship Tutoring Program for elementary school students in the State College area. Secor retired as vice provost for academic affairs at Penn State in 2004 after 35 years of service to the university. During his career, he also served as an English professor, literary scholar, chair of

the University Faculty Senate and department head. He was honored in 1995 with the McKay Donkin Award for his contributions to the welfare of the faculty at Penn State. Secor holds a Ph.D. and a Master of Arts from Brown University and a Bachelor of Arts in English from Syracuse University. Poole, who took his seat on the board at a recent meeting, has served as vice president for administration at Penn State since 2009. Previously, he served as associate to the president for administration, associate vice provost for educational equity, director of Penn State’s Center for Ethics and Religious Affairs, director of student activities, and acting director of student unions. He has taught in religious studies and African and African American studies. He holds a Ph.D. in religious studies from Penn State, a Master of Divinity in theology and ethics from Colgate Rochester Divinity School/Crozer Theological Seminary, and a Bachelor of Arts in religion and philosophy from Roberts Wesleyan College.

Venture Club presents awards From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — At the May Soroptimist meeting, venturists Alison Hendricks and Richel Peretti presented two student aid awards. The award is intended to help single mothers who are furthering their education. Christy Etters received $600, which she will use toward tuition and books. She expects to graduate from South Hills Business School in 2013. Etters has three children, ages 3, 7, and 12. She is enrolled in the legal assistant program at South Hills Business school and is involved with the Special Olympics and in the future she hopes to become more involved with her church and her son’s pre-school, the Park Forest Day Nursery. The second award recipient was Elizabeth Timblin, who was awarded $300. Timblin, a mother of two, is studying Biotechnology with the clinical laboratory science option at Penn State. Upon graduation she hopes to work in the medical industry and to give back to medical charities such as THON and the Johns Hopkins Children’s Hospital. Unfortunately, Timblin was unable to attend to accept her award. The Venture Club is a service project of Soroptimist of Centre County. Venturists work with Soroptimists to do community service in their local communities. For more information please contact Linda Wilson at (814) 234-0658 or hjlaw11@aol.com.

Wheatfield Nursery holds Pink Day fundraiser By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — Pink was the color of the day, as the Nittany Shop With Heart vendor collective collaborated with Wheatfield Nursery to host the second annual Pink Day on June 30. The event was a fundraiser to support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Wheatfield Nursery, located along Route 322 in Potter Township, was the site of this event. The event featured several craft vendors, sandwiches by Doan’s Bones Barbecue, free soda and freeze pops. Wheatfield Nursery also donated a portion of their proceeds from the day to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Special guests at this event were members of the Pennsylvania Professional Lumberjack Organization, all wearing pink in support of breast cancer research. The lumberjacks (and Jills)

gave several lumberjack demonstrations, including chopping through thick blocks of wood with axes, axe throwing and sawing contests. Event co-organizer, Melissa Berrier, is the manager of Wheatfield Nursery, and also a member of the Pennsylvania Professional Lumberjack Organization. That organization’s president, Bill Simcox, attended the Pink Day event. Simcox proudly said that he is the second oldest active lumberjack competitor in the state. He has competed in the Lumberjack Masters Competition for competitors over 50. Under a canopy beside the nursery office was the team of Berg and Boone, a pair of wood crafters from Williamsport. Bob “Berg” Bergman and Mike “Boone” Drawbaugh were assembling Adirondack chairs which they made from recycled pallet lumber. The chairs were to be raffled off, with all proceeds

given to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Drawbaugh’s mother is a breast cancer survivor. “This is something that is very important to me,” he said. Bergman’s family has suffered losses from cancer. Bergman lost a sister, an uncle and his father to

various forms of cancer. Drawbaugh said that some of their wood products are made from rare species of woods found in China. “You can’t buy this stuff on the market,” he said, “but they (the Chinese) use it in pallets, so we

get it for free.” Cathy Walton of Nittany Shop With Heart was grateful to all who helped with the Pink Day event. It was an event that helped raise funds for research that may someday make breast cancer a thing of the past.

Arboretum re-opens

PAWS ADOPT-A-PET

From Gazette staff reports

Sapphire, a middle-aged lab/golden retriever mix female, hopes to spend the first few days of July getting acquainted with a new forever family. Sapphire is a beautiful lady with a black fur coat; only a few white specks dot her belly. Proving she is just as wonderful on the inside, Sapphire is extremely friendly and sweet. She loves playing with balls, going on walks and snuggling on the couch. She is also good with children and other dogs, but is not a fan of cats. Sapphire can be very timid around new people, especially men, and is afraid of thunder and brooms, prompting PAWS to fear she was abused in her former home. If you would like to provide this older gal who plays like a puppy the loving home she deserves, please stop by PAWS (1401 Trout Road, State College) or read more about Sapphire at http://www.centrecountypaws.org/dogs/.

Rebersburg to host Civil War reenactment By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

REBERSBURG — In 1862, our nation was engulfed in the Civil War. The call went out throughout the land for volunteer soldiers to help fight for the union. Young men from cities, farms and villages responded in large numbers to the call and soon were marching off to war. On Aug. 25, 1862, in the village of Rebersburg, in the eastern end of Brush Valley, 72 young men from the Brush Valley area were mustered into Company A of the 148th Regiment of the Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. They stood in front of the hotel in Rebersburg, and were enlisted in the army, issued uniforms, muskets, cartridges, cap boxes, belts and bayonets. The new recruits were sworn in by Company A Lieutenant Fetterman of Harrisburg. The men were taken by two horse drawn wagons to Lewistown, where they boarded a train for Harrisburg to receive training at Camp Curtin (now the site of the Pennsylvania Farm Show arena). At 4 p.m. on July 14, the historic event will be reenacted on the actual site of the enlistment in Rebersburg where a monument stands, commemorating the event. Lynn Herman, president of the 148th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Company C, and Dave Felice are in charge of the re-enactment. Although battle

reenactments are fairly common, neither Herman nor Felice can remember seeing a mustering reenactment like this. “This is very historic,” said Herman. Despite its rarity, this is not the first time the Rebersburg enlistment has been recreated. According to Brush Valley historian and reenactment organizer Vonnie Henninger, a similar reenactment was performed 100 years ago in 1912 at the same site. It was followed by actual local veterans of the Civil War marching through the town to the cheers, waves, and applause of grateful citizens. Historical accuracy will be paramount in this reenactment. The reenactors, mainly from the Harrisburg area, will take on the personas of the actual soldiers that were mustered in. Felice will portray Capt. Robert Forster of Rebersburg, and Herman will portray 23-year-old Private Levi Boob, also of Rebersburg. Local reenactors Bob and Jimmy Brown of Hampton’s Battery F will help to fill the ranks. It is documented that Lt. Fetterman, who swore the new recruits in, was a bit intoxicated that day in 1862, and his reenactor will feign intoxication in the name of historical accuracy. The reenactment will also include civilians. Women in period clothing will take on the personas of the soldiers’ wives, girlfriends and

sisters. They’ll be waving and wiping tears of pride, joy and sorrow, as the men ride away on hay wagons drawn by Percheron horses owned by Gerald and Melissa Allebach of Brush Valley. Children will portray the soldiers’ children and younger siblings. Pennsylvania Gov. Andrew Gregg Curtin was present and spoke at the 1862 mustering, and his portrayer, David Klinepeter, will speak as Gov. Curtin at the reenactment. Preceding the reenactment, nationally known Civil War historian, author and Rebersburg native, Jeffry Wert will address the crowd. Wert has authored nine books covering various aspects of the Civil War. Wert says this is the only place he knows of where there’s something tangible — the monument — from when soldiers were mustered into the Union Army. Civil War-era and patriotic music will be provided by the Coburn Brass and the Penns Valley Men’s Chorus. The original muster rolls will be on display for this event, and food will be available from the Miles Township Fire Company, whose annual carnival will be running concurrent with the reenactment. State Route 192 will be closed for two hours for the event, which is free and open to the public. Spectators are asked to bring lawn chairs. For more information, call (814) 349-8960.

Millheim to host car show for girl with Rett syndrome By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

MILLHEIM — Carly Shoemaker, 5, of Lock Haven was diagnosed in 2010 with Rett syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects the way the brain develops. It caused malfunctions of cognitive, sensory, emotional and nervous systems. It’s like having components of MS, Parkinson’s disease, ALS and Alzheimer’s disease all rolled into one. Symptoms include poor stomach emptying, acid reflux, small hands and feet, muscle weakness, jerky movements, constipation, anxiety, cardiac dysfunction and seizures. Last December, Carly was admitted to the Janet Weis PICU in

Danville for respiratory failure due to a common cold. She was unable to breathe without a ventilator. She is now able to breathe on oxygen, and use the ventilator only when sleeping or during illness. She has frequent seizures, and is prone to illness, tending to stay home to avoid contracting any illnesses. Carly’s fondest wish is to have a spa/mini pool in her home. This will require an addition to the family’s house, incurring a major expense to her parents, Dawn and Frank Shoemaker. Carly’s nurse, Lori Montcrief, of Millheim, decided to help Carly’s wish come true by organizing a fundraising car and motorcycle show for her. “I wanted to do something for Carly,” said Montcrief.

Her original plans were to bring a band to the Millheim Hotel for a benefit concert, but after brainstorming with friends, another idea was hatched. “It escalated into a car show,” Montcrief said. The show will take place from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on July 7 at the Millheim Carnival Grounds. There will be three classes for cars and six classes for motorcycles. Food vendors, including the Millheim Hotel and Millheim Lions Club, will be present with barbecued chicken and other delights for hungry spectators. An auction of items donated by local merchants will be held, and there will be music by local bands. For more information, call Lori at (814) 380-2506.

JULY 5-11, 2012

Pittsburgh teams on a roll It’s a good time to be a Pittsburgh sports fan. It’s June, and the Pittsburgh Pirates are still in contention, battling for first place in the National League Central. Although the Pittsburgh Penguins were bounced in the first round of the NHL playoffs, they’ll return the core players from a very good team that could make a run next year. The Pittsburgh Steelers have appeared in three of the last six Super Bowls, winning two of those. Over the past several months, those teams have locked up their superstars with big contracts. With that in mind, let’s take a look at Pittsburgh’s teams and the big names who are locked up: ■ Penguins Late last week, word leaked out that the Pittsburgh Penguins had reached an agreement with captain Sidney Crosby on a 12-year contract extension worth $104.4 million. The contract is heavily front-loaded and Chris Morelli is the means that Crosby will be a Penguins editor of the Centre for the remainder of his days in the County Gazette. He NHL. Although he’s suffered several can be reached at editor@centre concussions and has missed significountygazette.com cant playing time, Penguins management felt good enough about his health to lock him up. If you’re a Penguins’ fan, that’s good news. We’ve seen some amazing things from Sid the Kid during the early stages of his career. He already has one Stanley Cup championship. One more, and he will reach Mario Lemieux-like status in the Burgh. Lemieux, of course, has two Cups — and a statue outside Consol Energy Center, the building he helped get built. He’s saved hockey not once, but twice, in Pittsburgh. Crosby’s long-term deal assures success for many, many years. Next up for Penguins’ general manager Ray Shero: Inking Crosby’s teammate, Evgeni Malkin. That will not be an easy task. Malkin will want a sizeable deal. The NHL’s salary cap will make that a challenge. ■ Pirates After nearly two decades of losing baseball, the Pittsburgh Pirates are giving fans a reason to come out to PNC Park. They’re above .500 in July and in contention for first place in the National League’s Central Division. In previous seasons, fans would only come out for bobbleheads and fireworks — not necessarily in that order. But even if the Pirates weren’t in contention, there’s another reason to go watch the Bucs: Centerfielder Andrew McCutchen. This guy is the superstar that the team lacked during their early days at PNC Park. He broke on the scene in 2009 and had an impressive rookie campaign, batting .286 with 12 home runs and 54 RBIs. In 2010, he hit an identical .286. However, the home run and RBI numbers went up. That season, he hit 16 homers and knocked in 56 runs. In 2011, his average dipped to .259, a career low. However, he had a career-high 23 homers and 89 RBIs. This season, though, Cutch has taken his game to another level. At press time, McCutchen was batting an impressive .346 with 15 home runs and 51 RBIs. He’s one of two Pirates who will play in the Midsummer Classic on July 10 in Kansas City. Here’s some really good news if you’re a fan of Cutch. He’s inked for the long haul. I had a chance to meet McCutchen at the Pirates Winter Caravan when it made a stop at Johnstown’s Galleria during the offseason. He made it clear during the 15-minute interview that he wanted to remain in Pittsburgh. Ownership knew this, and got it done. In May, the Pirates announced that they’d signed Cutch to a six-year contract worth $51.5 million. He and Jose Tabata are locked up for the next several seasons. With pitchers A.J. Burnett and James McDonald having career years, things are looking up for the Pirates. ■ Steelers While covering the Steelers last season, there were two players who always had a throng of reporters around their lockers. The voice of the team’s offense was quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. The voice of the defense was safety Troy Polamalu. Last fall, the Steelers signed Polamalu to a four-year deal worth $36.5 million. That contract will keep Polamalu in the Burgh until 2014. He’s one of the league’s premier defensive players and an all-around nice guy. He’s been a key cog on the Steelers’ recent Super Bowl runs. And while he hasn’t always played his best during the big game, he’s put the defense on his back at times during the regular season. As for Big Ben, what can you say about the guy. He plays hurt and always gives 110 percent. He’s inked through 2015 and will likely retire a Steeler. He’s won a pair of Super Bowls already, just two shy of Terry Bradshaw’s four rings. He’s been the franchise quarterback Steeler fans have been longing for since Bradshaw retired. The Steelers are the pride of Pittsburgh. Big Ben and Polamalu are the foundation of the squad.

PENN STATE first-year coach Bill O’Brien recently announced that Derrick Thomas has left the program.

Penn State has QB on its radar By NATE MINK StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — It’s never too early to talk potential Penn State quarterbacks, even if they’re barely old enough to drive a car. And Drew Barker, a dual-threat prospect for the Class of 2014, certainly is on Penn State’s radar. The Burlington, Ky., native toured Penn State and participated in an advanced skills camp last month. No scholarship offer has been extended yet, according to various recruiting websites, but he is only 16 years old and entering his junior year of high school. There’s time. “It was really awesome,” Barker said of his visit. “I saw all of the facilities, and when I went out on the field I thought that was the best part. It was like a jaw-dropping experience when you walk out of the tunnel and you see the Penn State logo and you can just feel all the tradition and that.” Two Big Ten schools (Purdue and Illinois) have made offers to Barker, as has South Carolina, among others. Ohio State is reportedly high on him, and he’s scheduled to go camping at Alabama later this month, according to 247 Sports. So, he’s no slouch.

The Hebron (Ky.) Conner quarterback threw for more than 1,400 yards with seven touchdowns and rushed for more than 1,500 yards with 22 touchdowns last season. Penn State has already secured a verbal commitment from four-star quarterback Christian Hackenberg for 2013. He’ll participate in the Elite 11 on July 18-22 in Redondo Beach, Calif. The quarterback showcase features 24 of the country’s top high school senior quarterbacks. Of course, this is not the first time Penn State has a connection to Elite 11. Rob Bolden participated in the program in 2009 while ex-QB Darryl Clark served as a counselor. Barker said he is intrigued by the possibility of playing for Penn State coach Bill O’Brien, who most recently served as Pro Bowl quarterback Tom Brady’s offensive coordinator with the New England Patriots. “That’s as good as it gets right there, a guy that coached Tom Brady,” Barker said of O’Brien. “That means he knows what he’s doing and he can prepare you to go farther and he can teach you a lot of things and that’s really awesome.”

DERRICK THOMAS LEAVES LIONS Embattled cornerback Derrick

Thomas has left the Penn State football team for personal reasons, coach Bill O’Brien announced through a team spokesman Friday. Thomas, a redshirt junior, had been locked in a position battle with sophomore Adrian Amos for the second starting cornerback spot opposite senior Stephon Morris entering training camp. Now, it looks like Amos, who was also getting a look a safety in the spring, will get the nod heading into camp, which starts Aug. 6. Thomas’s departure is the third within a month and the second at cornerback, leaving the secondary even more thin. He was cited for disorderly conduct following a Feb. 28 fight in State College last year. He also previously had a string of academic issues that kept him in former coach Joe Paterno’s dog house. O’Brien had said every player would be given a clean slate under his regime, but no specific reason was given for Thomas leaving the program. Others off the team since O’Brien was named head coach: defensive end Shawn Oakman (discipline), cornerback Curtis Drake (academics) and wide receiver Devon Smith (personal reasons).

Standing Stone is one of areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best-kept secrets (Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column continues the trend of the history behind the Centre Regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf courses and features Standing Stone Golf Club in Huntingdon). HUNTINGDON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Located off state Route 26 between Pine Grove Mills and Huntingdon, a mere 28 miles from State College, and bordered by a meandering creek from which the golf club gets its name, Standing Stone Golf Course is one of the best-kept secrets in central Pennsylvania. The 18-hole Standing Stone course at the Standing Stone Golf Club facility features 6,593 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 70. The course rating is 71.4 and it has a slope rating of 120. Designed by Geoffrey S. Cornish, ASGCA, the Standing Stone Golf Club opened in 1972.

Yakimczyk said of her role in the golf industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a graduate of Juniata College in Huntingdon, with a business degree and started at Standing Stone as soon as I graduated. I never looked at this position as anything other that a business opportunity. Being a woman in this business was never a factor, good or bad, as far as what I wanted to do with my career. I never really thought about doing anything else even though I had no background in the golfing business before I started but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never so much as looked back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I absolutely love what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing here at Standing Stone,â&#x20AC;? Yakimczyk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I receive a tremendous amount of support from the club members and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been very receptive to me as the director of golf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been at Standing Stone for 10 years as the general manager of the facility. We also have a teaching pro (R.W. Smith) who gives lessons three nights a week and our facility is open to the public.â&#x20AC;? The amenities featured at Standing Stone include an 18-hole public golf course, a practice putting green, driving range, a fully stocked pro shop and a full dining facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very easy to play the course,â&#x20AC;? Yakimczyk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The course is very beginner-friendly for golfers. Our rates are very compatible with any other courses in Central PA and are a very good deal for golfers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you are a beginner golfer or a better golfer the course is open but with some difficult holes on the back nine for the better golfers,â&#x20AC;? explained Yakimczyk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But for the average golfer itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very nice course to play where you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get yourself into a whole lot of trouble.

It was described by John Harris in 1754 as being 14 feet high and about 6 inches square. It was erected by the Indians, a branch of the Six Nations, and was

The Glass Eye: Changes abound for the Penguins Well, I was planning to wait until next week for the return of my column, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply too much news in Pittsburgh to keep me quiet â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Penguins have made some major moves, and as usual it seems baseball is ignoring the Pirates. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look at the Penguins first. When I saw a report that the Pens had offered Jordan Staal a 10year, $60 million contract, I was shocked â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I have a lot of respect for Staal, but I consider him a good-notgreat player and I think any contract over 5 years should be reserved for true greatness. I was even more shocked when he Dave Glass is a turned it down â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I figcolumnist for The ured heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just missed Centre County his best shot at a huge Gazette. Email payday. I was not Dave at buggyracer@verizon.net. shocked, however, that he was almost immediately traded â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he was public with his desire to play with his brother in Carolina, and general manager Ray Shero had to send a message after being publicly reject-

ed by Staal. The situation could have been a distraction for most of the season, and I thought Shero got great value under the circumstances â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Brandon Sutter is a poor manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Staal, a great penalty killer who can score 15-20 goals per season as a third-line center. They also received the No. 8 overall draft pick and used it on Derrick Pouliot, a defenseman with elite offensive skills. They picked another defenseman with the 22nd pick, which may seem strange but I agree with taking the best available player regardless of position â&#x20AC;&#x201D; defensemen are always in demand in the NHL, and as Shero showed when he traded Goligoski for James Neal, you can acquire top forwards via trade as well. As for Jordan Staal, he got his payday over the weekend â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Carolina signed him to the same 10-year, $60 million contract Pittsburgh had offered. He was a fine player for the Pens and I wish him well â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but I think Carolina may regret spending that much cash on him. Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moves didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end with Staal, however â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Thursday, the team announced that Sidney Crosby had agreed to a 12-year, $104.4 million contract extension. The average salary/cap hit is $8.7 million â&#x20AC;&#x201D; exactly what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making now and far less than he would command on the open market. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to real-

ize that while $100-plus million is hardly a true sacrifice, how many other top athletes have gone out of their way to take significantly less money to help the team? Yes, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s risk â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a fan of any contract of this length because of injury risk â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but there was never much doubt that this contract would happen. Crosby is the face of the franchise, as good off the ice as he is on the ice, and by all accounts he loves Pittsburgh and had no desire to leave (which he proved by taking the lower average salary). Shero said two years ago that these negotiations would be easy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sid will tell us how much he wants, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pay it,â&#x20AC;? he said. Some thought that the concussion issues might change that thinking, but clearly the Pensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brass feels Crosby will be healthy long-term. Either way, despite the risk Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad that No. 87 will almost certainly be a Penguin for life. Shero had one more move up his sleeve, however. Dissatisfied with the defensive collapse against the Flyers and wanting to free up cap space, Shero traded Zbynek Michalek back to Phoenix for a mid-round pick and two middling prospects. This was a straight salary dump â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Michalek had a poor season, and while Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather they had moved Paul Martin, my guess is that Martin is almost untradeable at this point. The fact is, Pittsburgh has tons of young de-

fense talent and at least one veteran defenseman had to go â&#x20AC;&#x201D; plus, the additional cap space allows Shero to aggressively pursue free agents.

NO RESPECT A brief note about the Pirates â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they sit a game out of the Central division lead and tied for the (new) second wild-card slot â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and in June their much-maligned offense caught fire, they led all of baseball in runs last month. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d think they would be creating some buzz nationally, especially with the great seasons Andrew McCutchen, James McDonald and A.J. Burnett are having â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but it seems no one is taking this team seriously yet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cutchâ&#x20AC;? made the All-Star team, but somehow McDonald got snubbed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; check out his numbers compared to those of Cardinalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; starter Lance Lynn, who was pounded by the Pirates Saturday: â&#x2013; Lynn 97 innings 87 hits 34 walks 98 strikeouts 1.24 WHIP 3.62 ERA â&#x2013; McDonald 96 innings 68 hits 26 walks 86 strikeouts 0.98 WHIP 2.44 ERA â&#x2013; McDonald has been superior in every way, yet Lynn was picked. I understand that the Pirates were a joke for 20 years, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for the baseball world to take notice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; this Pirate team is the most competitive group in 20 years and they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going away.

Elks Clubs tee off for bragging rights By JOHN DIXON sports@centrecountygazette.com

PHILIPSBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201D; It may not be the Ryder Club or even the Walker Cup, but when two competing country clubs get together for a friendly game of golf, one knows bragging right are on the line. Such was the case last week when the Philipsburg Elks Lodge and Country Club played host to the Elks vs. Elks League Champions Championship. The match was actually rescheduled from 2011 because of several rainouts in the fall. The State College Elks league champions, Progressive Motors, took on the Philipsburg Elks champions, Dixonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Auto Body. The match was played out over an 18-hole individual match play format. Philipsburg Elks winning matches were: Hunter Bravis over Dan Swanson and Mouse Dixon over Bud McCartney. The State College Elks winning matches were: Bill Fleckenstein over Sam Peterson, Karl Colyer over J.D. Mason. The other two matches were fought to a draw: Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dave Lingenfelter tied Philipsburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ron Eiler and Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Darrell Early tied Philipsburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gary Byron. State College Elks will retain the Champions Championship plaque due to their 2010 victory where Lawn Doctor defeated Jones Insurance. The 2012 Champions Championship is scheduled at the State College Elks in the fall.

STATE COLLEGE ELKS LADIES LEAGUE The following is the results of the State College Elks Ladies League held recently at the golf course in Boalsburg. In the low net, nine hole competition, Emily Anselmi was first with a 35. Flossie Dunlop was second with a 36 and Brenda Wagner was third with a 38. Fewest putts went to Anselmi, who had 14. Closest to the pin on No. 2 went to Bev Vender. Longest putts on No. 8 went to Kay Kustanbauter. Closest to the pin on No. 11 went to Geri Stonebraker. The straightest drive on No. 14 went to Linda Rohrer.

This was the fifth tournament in the 12 tournament summer series. Senior golfers age 50 and over can enter all events online by visiting the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s web site at www.ncpga.net.

Muto was the lone local entrant in the past weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event. This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event will be held at Ebensburg Country Club in Ebensburg. The goal of the North East Junior Golf Tour 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 count in golf and, more importantly, in life.

Area kayakers prepare for Junior World Championships From Gazette staff reports Mach One Slalom Team members Evelyn Van Horn and Sarah Mosier have earned positions on the 2012 United States Slalom Team which will compete in the Junior World Championships on July 14-15 in Wausau, Wis. Van Horn, 14, of Bellefonte, and Mosier, 15, of State College, are the first Mach One members to have made the Junior Team since Mach One was organized in 1999. A closer look at the competitors:

EVELYN VAN HORN Van Horn started paddling with her family in 2008 at the age of 11. She started paddling in the Day One learning course and four years later with training, she rose to the Senior Team Trials and a spot on the U.S. Junior Team, which would be gunning for the World Junior Championships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I trained harder, I continued to improve my skills and tried more difficult races,â&#x20AC;? Van Horn commented. In 2010, she won the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kayak award in the Penn Cup Series. Building on earlier successes, she competed in the 2011 Junior Team Trials as a cadet and finished fourth. Earlier this year, she competed in the US Open Slalom at the Nantahala, N.C., Outdoor Center and finished fourth. Van Horn has also participated in two North American Junior Olympic Festivals. In the 2010 at the Nantahala Center, she earned a gold and silver medal both in doubles canoe with her brother, Ethan. She was a cadet paddler two years ago, but the doubles entry was in the Junior-16 age category. In 2011 at the Junior Olympic Festival in Lyons, Colo., she earned three silver medals and two bronze in slalom and wildwater events. In the process, she earned 18 points and finished ninth among all the girls entering and fourth among the US girls. In 2010, Van Horn raced well in wildwater events to become a member of the 2010 U.S. Cadet Wildwater team. In 2011, she repeated the achievement of a position on the U.S. Cadet Wildwater and added placement on the Cadet

Slalom Team as well. In Mid-Atlantic Slalom competition, Van Horn raced toward placing on both the 2011 and 2012 teams. To reach this level, she had to outscore all but one other girl in her age group in three of four slalom events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been an exciting spring for me because I had the chance to race in the U.S. Olympic Trials held at the National Whitewater Center in Charlotte,â&#x20AC;? Van Horn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a beautiful place and I had a great experience on this very difficult course.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Pennsylvania Dance Theatre to premiere work From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — The Pennsylvania Dance Theatre will premiere “For the hills cannot hold back our sorrow forever …” a new dance theater work by German-born choreographer Andre Koslowski, at 8 p.m. on July 12 at the State Theatre. The performance, which will be held during the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts lasts approximately 60 minutes. Because the work includes mature themes, parental discretion is advised. Admission to the performance is free with a Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts button, which are available at stores, information booths and performance sites during the festival, July 12-15. Never one to shy away from addressing uncomfortable and unsettling topics, Koslowski’s new piece touches on the abuse of power and status, the effects of cruelty, and how fears can become personal and physical realities, putting an ever-greater distance between people. Koslowski notes that although “For the hills cannot hold back our sorrow forever …” was conceived and developed many months prior, audience members may well

perceive in this piece elements that reflect and relate to recent events in the news. Dancers will include Koslowski, who also is the artistic director of the Pennsylvania Dance Theater, and other members of the company, including Zach Bergfelt, See Cha, Jennifer Keller, Tina Konrath and Jil Stifel. In addition, this performance will feature participants from the community to convey the universality of the experiences and feelings the piece evokes.

The performance also features the work of set designer Susana Amundarain, costume designer Myra Bullington, music director Efrain Amaya, lighting designer Scott Nelson and photographer/videographer Vanessa Briceño-Scherzer, all of whom have contributed to previous Pennsylvania Dance Theatre productions. Founded in 1979, Pennsylvania Dance Theatre has earned a reputation for staging intense dance theater

works that are challenging and thought-provoking. Under Koslowski’s direction, the company has performed on national and international stages, and has brought to central Pennsylvania the type of powerful, progressive dance experience enjoyed by audiences in cultural centers like New York and Berlin. The company’s artistic vision, informed by Koslowski’s deep understanding of dance traditions and his formative experiences in the European dance theater community, surveys the world with an unflinching eye and seeks to reflect the full range of human experience. With a dedication to exploring the borders between contemporary dance and other artistic disciplines, PDT actively seeks out and collaborates with internationally renowned choreographers, set designers, composers and performers. The company believes that working across boundaries creates limitless opportunities to extend the artistic possibilities of dance, and to push the discipline into exciting frontiers For more information, visit the Pennsylvania Dance Theatre online at www.pdtdance.org

MEMBERS OF THE State College Friends School theatre camp rehearse their play, “An Incident on the Boardwalk,” for a performance at Foxdale Village. Another camp will begin on July 30.

Student actors perform at Foxdale Village From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — Student actors from the State College Friends School summer theater camp exploring mime and silent film performed “An Incident On The Boardwalk,” at Foxdale Village on their last day of camp. The presentation, an original creation by the students — with the guidance of the camp counselors — featured a mix of humor, drama, and feel antics reminiscent of old time silent films from the turn of the century.

Due to popular demand, a new theatre camp designed for students entering fifth through eighth grade, will be offered July 30 through Aug. 3 at Friends School. “The Case of the Disappearing Dodo,” will allow campers to combine mystery, history, ecology, philately and art in a twisting tale of a rare stamp, an extinct bird, and an unlikely culprit. No theatre, dance or music experience is necessary; only an interest in working as part of a creative, sharing team. Space is limited. Contact Lori Pacchioli if interested at lorip@scfriends.org or call (814) 237-8386.

Children’s book author to stop in State College From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — Acclaimed children’s book author Artie Bennett will appear at BookFestPA at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. on July 14 in the Downsborough Room of Schlow Centre Region Library, 211 S. Allen St., in State College. Bennett will be the featured children’s author and will be reading and signing his new book, “Poopendous!”, along with his first work, “The Butt Book.” “Everyone poops — yes, it’s true — from aardvarks to the humped zebu,” according to a line in the book. Bennett delivers the inside scoop on every type and use of poop throughout the ARTIE BENNETT world while paying homage to its prolific producers, from cats to bats to wombats. Virtuoso illustrator Mike Moran provided the images. Bennett said: “Now that ‘The Butt Book’ was out and selling like hotcakes, I cast about for the perfect follow-up and I thought that, perhaps, a children’s book in

verse about poop would be the ticket. In fact, what more fertile topic could there be for one’s ‘number two’ picture book. And when the word ‘poopendous’ came to me out of the blue, I knew I had both the title and the final spread for my next book. Curiously, just like with ‘The Butt Book,’ I now sat down to write a memorable, rousing ending first before working my way back through the manuscript.” “The Butt Book,” which came out in 2010, illustrated by artist Mike Lester, was a runaway hit. The initial print run sold out in its first two months, and it was showered with praise. It became a must-read for countless parents and children, as it gently and comically imparted an anatomy lesson. Teachers and librarians found it funny — and educational to boot. It was described as a “gateway book,” one that shows youngsters how much fun a book can be. Educators say such books can spur a lifelong love of reading.

New business aims to sell miles and miles of smiles By HARRY ZIMBLER For The Gazette

STATE COLLEGE — For Todd Miner, his new business, launched last April, provides a perfect blend of his love for the outdoors, physical exercise and getting people to slow down and smile. The company is called Vamos! Lion Chariot. Miner’s personal interest in speaking and teaching Spanish is evident in the name which translates to “Let’s go!” The pedicab business is normally found in resort areas and big cities, but Miner believes it will become a popular attraction in a university town like State College. “I think the idea of a lion chariot conjures exotic images of ancient Rome,” he said. “I am in the business of moving people, but moving them in a way to make them relax and smile.” A meteorologist by training, Miner was once responsible for providing the New York Times with its daily weather page. When Penn State lost the contract, Miner looked for alternative ways to generate income. His bicycle cab business is one of them. “The business is one of three jobs I have,” he said.”I am an academic tutor at the (Penn State) Morgan Center and a forecaster at AccuWeather.” Miner hopes to offer rides to customers on campus and in downtown State College.

those areas. He met with various Penn State departments, including transportation officials and the Penn State Police to explain his business plan. “They gave me their blessing,” he said. While pedicabs do get people from one place to another, Miner sees his business as more of a local attraction and opportunity for private tours and special events. “A taxicab or a bus is for practical purposes,” he stated. “But the pedicab has an entertainment component. And while there will be practical rides, from point A to point B, I see Vamos! providing things like date rides and campus tours. It’s an attraction for visitors.” Miner said his business plan calls for additional vehicles by the end of the summer. At present, he is the lone pedicab cyclist in Centre County. He owns five vehicles and is in the process of interviewing individuals for positions as cyclists and tour guides. “I want to give Happy Valley a reason to smile,” Miner said. “So my cyclists need to be able to cycle uphill with three people in the vehicle and at the same time be friendly and offer guided tours.” Currently, Miner is also looking to bring people on board who have a business background. “I need help with the managerial aspects of business. Most new businesses do,” he said. “As much as possible, I want to make

this a community service,” said Miner. “For example, we can give ride at birthday parties or take retirees around the arboretum. It’s almost like an amusement park ride for little kids. I see tremendous growth potential. Taking a ride in a pedicab makes you feel good.” A fully outfitted pedicab, with all the proper liability insurance coverage, runs around $20,000, Miner noted. He has five vehicles, though most are not yet roadworthy. Miner sees his business running from late March through November, weather permitting. “In rain we have protection for the passengers, HARRY ZIMBLER/For The Gazette but not for the driver.

KCF Technologies celebrates milestone From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In 2004, KCF Technologies was funded through a Navy Small Business Technology Transfer project (N04-T020), to create a tetherbased underwater positioning system for a variety of underwater applications including positioning vehicles in mine countermeasure applications. Through several years of development, KCF created a technology that met the challenges. The resulting commercial product, Smart Tether, sold its 100th system in 2011 and is marking three years since the technology was first commercially available. Of the milestone, KCF President Dr. Jeremy Frank said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;KCF is proud to have achieved a com-

mercial success with the Smart Tether and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demonstrated by the 100th system thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out being used and solving real problems for the Navy, U.S. Coast Guard and commercial customers on jobs around the world. The key for KCF is to turn research projects into commercial successes and achieve real world objectives. This is a commercial success that we are very proud of.â&#x20AC;? To achieve this success, KCF Technologies has entered into strategic partnerships with VideoRay, LLC of Phoenixville and Indepth International of the United Kingdom. VideoRay is the global leader in small inspection class Remotely Operated Vehicle technology. Indepth International provides underwater contract serv-

KCF recently completed a development project to build the Smart Tether technology into a retractable antenna for Unmanned Underwater Vehicles. KCF Technologies is a dynamic technology company that develops and commercializes products and solutions for industry and the military. The company vision is to be a leader in the development of federally funded technologies and bridge the gap to successful commercial products by establishing strategic partnerships.

CTTSO to expand their role and work in challenging conditions. Smart Tether has also been used by Navy divers to aid in the recovery of the sunken remains of the USS Westfield, a Civil War gunboat. Smart Tether was used to assist the recovery because poor visibility and strong currents made it difficult for divers to navigate underwater without a positioning system to direct them through a predetermined search grid.KCF and its partners continue to develop Smart Tether enhancements.

ices and has access to markets in previously unexplored commercial underwater tether applications. In 2011, KCFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Smart Tether was integral in helping VideoRay, obtain a $2.2 million contract from the Combatting Terrorism Technical Support Office of the United State Department of Defense. The contract updated all USCG VideoRay ROVs with the latest technology including the latest version of the Smart Tether navigation system which included enhancement specific to the
