Cruise raises $20K for Youth Service Bureau By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Despite a heavy downpour in the middle of the afternoon, the annual Last Cruise was a big success once again. The day began in Boalsburg as hundreds of car enthusiasts got their cars and motorcycles registered and showed off their wheels. On a sun-splashed afternoon on the grounds of the Pennsylvania Military Museum, car buffs from across the Commonwealth checked out cars from days gone by. “I love cars and this is just a great event,” said Penn State graduate and Lewistown resident James Fahy. “It’s not like a car museum or anything. You can get really close to the cars. Some (owners) will even let you sit inside.” Fahy checked out the classic cars, but a 2013 Porsche caught his

attention. The white Cayman glistened in the sunlight. “That’s the one I have my eye on,” Fahy said with a laugh. “I’d like to have it for the day … just an afternoon would be fine with me.” There was a $5 fee for cars to park and registration fees for those who wanted to have their cars compete. All of the proceeds from the afternoon went to the Centre County Youth Service Bureau. According to Youth Service Bureau CEO Andrea Boyles, the event raised around $20,000. “It was a great event. We had a great day with lots of kids, lots of families, which is exactly what we were hoping for,” Boyles said. “We had 30 to 40 minutes of rain, but people really stuck around. That was really good to see.” In addition to the cars, a newly expanded Kids’ Zone was part of the fun at this year’s Last Cruise. That area of grounds featured a pair of bounce houses, the Her-

shey’s KissMobile and a tent where children could create sand art, have their faces painted, race cars, play dress up and decorate cookies. “The Kids’ Zone offered a lot of different activities for the children attending,” said Marissa Stupar, a case manager for Big Brothers Big Sisters. “It seemed as though all the kids found something that they enjoyed doing whether it was being creative with the arts and crafts or having fun playing, all the kids had smiles on their faces.” Stupar manned the sand art table for much of the afternoon, helping children create works of art that they could take home, free of charge, of course. “It was fun to work with the kids at the sand art table. Some kids took their time and tried their hardest to make the best sand art ever and other kids were ready to fill up their bottles to shake all the sand inside to see what it would

UNIVERSITY PARK — To come together and show support for those affected by breast cancer, the community will transform Medlar Field into a sea of pink on Aug. 4. The State College Spikes’ annual Paint the Park Pink event, presented by Mount Nittany Health System, raises money and awareness for the Foundation for Mount Nittany Medical Center and the fight against breast cancer, said Aileen Galley, administrative director at the Penn State Hershey Cancer Institute at Mount Nittany Medical Center. The Spikes, donning pink jerseys, will challenge the Aberdeen IronBirds, an affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, at 7:05 p.m. However, the night will feature a variety of other events and activities besides the baseball game, Galley said. “The first 1,000 women through the gates will receive a free Spikes pink visor,” Galley said. “Fans will be greeted by our wonderful staff from the Comprehensive Breast Care Center at Mount Nittany and get educational materials and fun surprise give-a-ways,” she said. Galley said fans also will have the opportunity to bid on the pink jerseys worn by the players. And the game will be kicked off by a breast cancer survivor who will throw the first pitch, she said. “Paint the Park Pink is an opportunity

THOUSANDS OF Penn State football fans showed up on Tuesday for “Rise and Rally.” The event showed support for the Nittany Lions following harsh sanctions from the NCAA.

Thousands turn out for ‘Rise and Rally’ By LAURA NICHOLS StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — A few thousand fans flocked to the Lasch Football Building Tuesday at 6 a.m. to cheer on and show their support for the Penn State University football team during a “Rise and Rally” event. Sue Paterno, wife of the late Penn State football coach, was in attendance, as well as new Penn State Board of Trustees’ members Adam Taliaferro, a former Penn State football player, and Anthony Lubrano. They greeted fans and posed for photos with them. Chants of “We Are ... Penn State” boomed loud and clear all morning, ac-

cowbell. “After experiencing this today, I don’t know who would want to leave this place,” fifth-year starting quarterback Matt McGloin said in a short speech to fans after the rally. Some football players may be considering a transfer in wake of the harsh NCAA sanctions handed down last month. Fans eventually moved to the practice field outside the Lasch building to watch players lift weights and run sprints, among other conditioning exercises. Afterward, players posed for photos with fans. Some were students who were out before class, others were alumni who traveled hundreds of miles to show their support.

The current “business” model for delivering fire protection in Centre County is unsustainable, according to Steve Bair, fire director for the Centre Region Council of Governments. Bair estimates the region will face a flash point by the year 2016 if nothing changes between now and then. “The emotions surrounding this debate are based on STEVE BAIR a belief that you’re not at risk for a fire. But the fact is, you are,” Bair said. He explained that Alpha Fire Company alone deals with more than 1,000 calls each year, going to 800 unique properties. “So people do call the fire department,” he said. Alpha Fire Company is unique in Pennsylvania because it covers 104 square miles and 87,000 people. “Most fire companies that deal with a community that size have professional fire companies,” he said. Bair said Alpha is finding it difficult to recruit new members. There are 109 members and the company needs 125 to operate most efficiently, he said. The company spends some $37,000 on its marketing efforts for new members. “If you look at it statistically, we need 12 to 17 people for a house fire, though more is better. And that number is higher if we have to truck water to the site,” Bair said. “Only 22 percent of our coverage area is served by fire hydrants.”

Fire, from page 1 Volunteerism appears to be dropping nationally and in Pennsylvania, he said. “It seems to be a significant shift in society. At one time, a fire company was the hub of a community. Plus, as a society, we are incredibly mobile. There is more to do, more places to go and more families that need two incomes to get by. I have come to the conclusion that we are losing people to part-time employment,” he said. Bair said Alpha Fire Company has a cap of 40 student volunteers but has never gone beyond 35. The facts about the response to a house or property fire are stark. “Our basic concept of operations is to arrive at a fire before that fire meets a flashover point. Flash point is a free-burning stage where things are being consumed at a rapid rate. The goal is to respond quickly and overwhelm a fire before that flashover,” he stated. Bair said a flash used to occur about 11 minutes into a fire.

“IF WE are not going to volunteer, and if we don’t want to pay additional taxes for equipment or professional firefighters, then what’s the plan?” Steve Bair Fire director Today, that can occur in three minutes or less because of more modern architecture, larger open rooms and the many synthetic materials that are found in today’s homes. “Heat is released at rates that are much greater,” he said. A typical response time for Alpha — and for most of the other volunteer companies in the county — is 10 firefighters arriving in 10 minutes or less. “That’s the standard of performance set by the National Fire Protection Association. And we do pretty well with that standard,” he said. Of course, if a house fire flashes in three minutes, the home will be lost. Bair urges homeowners to help fire-

PAGE 3 plan? The current model is failing. There’s no question about that,” he said. Bair suggests that adding water sprinkler systems to housing codes may be the best answer. “And if you have a better idea than sprinklers, I’d like to hear it. Do you have the right to let your house burn down? Not if it hurts my house and raises everyone’s insurance rates. I have found that people see things differently when their house is on fire,” he said. Firefighters here and in every community are in the service business. “The current business is just not sustainable and will not meet our expectations,” he said. “We need to step up as volunteers or change that model.”

fighters deliver a good outcome. “First, take fire safety and protection seriously. Take the time to be fire safe. Fortyfour percent of all house fires are cooking related. So when you’re cooking, don’t run errands. If you have a fire, don’t delay. There is no room for error. You will be shocked at how quickly smoke and fire get bad and thick. It’s nothing like what is seen on television,” he said. As a firefighting professional, Bair is urging the region to open a genuine and sincere dialogue about what he sees as a firefighting crisis. “We need to discuss what works. If we are not going to volunteer, and if we don’t want to pay additional taxes for equipment or professional firefighters, then what’s the

These proceeds, Galley said, are used to support those affected by breast cancer and to fund needed support programs and services. Galley said this year she’s hoping for a large enough turnout to “fill the park with pink.� “We are grateful to (the Spikes) for partnering again with Mount Nittany Health System to help increase awareness of breast cancer,� she said.

Schultz requests access to Freeh files By MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press

HARRISBURG — A former Penn State official facing a perjury charge in the Jerry Sandusky scandal wants a judge to help his defense team gain access to files from a school investigation. Lawyers for retired university vice president Gary Schultz filed a petition late Monday in county court in Harrisburg, that requested a list of 25 sets of items from the Washington, D.C., law firm led by former FBI director Louis Freeh, hired by Penn State to look into the child sex abuse scandal. The records Schultz wants include notes of interviews with former Penn State president Graham Spanier and with Cynthia Baldwin, the university’s former chief counsel. It also seeks information related to a 1998 police investigation of Sandusky that did not result in charges at the time, and Baldwin’s notes regarding a January 2011 meeting with former football coach Joe Paterno. Schultz’s lawyers said Freeh’s 144-page report “has maintained grievous and potentially inaccurate information related to Mr. Schultz, reviewing in great detail his purported actions, and alleging a conspiracy among the top administrators for the university to cover up

reports of sexual abuse within its football program.� Schultz also is charged with failure to properly report suspected child abuse. The court filing said the documents would help him prepare a defense and in jury selection. Schultz defense lawyer George Matangos said Tuesday that if Dauphin County Judge Todd Hoover signs the order, it would be taken to Washington, D.C., superior court officials for their review. The filing sets a Sept. 1 deadline. “I wouldn’t say it’s a firm timetable,� Matangos said. “It’s a guideline we’re trying to follow.� Schultz’s co-defendant, Penn State athletic director Tim Curley, did not immediately join the motion, and a spokeswoman for his lawyers said he did not plan to at this time. Curley, now on leave from the university, faces the same charges. A spokesman for Freeh’s firm — Freeh, Sporkin and Sullivan — declined to comment. Pennsylvania deputy attorney general Bruce Beemer, the lead prosecutor in the Curley and Schultz cases, was sent a copy of the subpoena petition, and a message left with his office’s spokesman was not immediately returned. Sandusky awaits sentencing after being convicted in June of 45 counts of child sexual abuse.

GARY SCHULTZ Schultz’s lawyers wrote that if convicted of perjury, the more serious count against him, he could be sentenced to seven years. Freeh’s report concluded that Schultz, Curley, Spanier and Paterno hid accusations against Sandusky for fear of bad publicity, and the report was cited by the NCAA as it hit the school with a multi-year bowl ban and a $60 million fine. Penn Staters for Responsible Stewardship, an alumni-based organization that has been critical of the university’s board of trustees, on Tuesday said it was seeking records from Penn State about the Freeh report, specifically the names of other entities that may have been contacted before Freeh was hired and documents memorializing the deal between Penn State and the Freeh firm.

Senior Judge William Morgan will rule on The Second Mile’s petition to transfer nearly $2 million in assets to a Houston-based charity, then cease to exist. Morgan, a senior judge from Warren and Forest County will preside over the case, a Warren and Forest County court administrator confirmed Tuesday, though a court date has not yet been set. The Second Mile announced in May via its website it would close for good after transferring all of its assets to Arrow Child & Family Ministries, which has operations in Pennsylvania and was founded by a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. The transfer has to be approved by Centre County Orphan’s Court and faces opposition from some of Jerry Sandusky’s victims. On June 26, attorneys representing Victims 3, 5 and 7 filed documents in Centre County to block The Second Mile’s asset transfer. A fourth man, identified in court documents as “John Doe� is also filing to block the transfer. “John Doe� is a Philadelphia man who, while not a part of the original grand jury presentment, has filed a civil suit in Philadelphia against Sandusky, according to court documents. At least three civil suits have been filed against the university. According to court documents, transferring $2 million would constitute 40 percent of The Second Mile’s holdings and victims’ attorneys want The Second Mile prioritize paying off the liabilities incurred from the Sandusky trial, which would be hampered by a transfer of funds. Sandusky, 68, is incarcerated at Centre County Correctional Facility where he awaits a sentencing pending the fulfillment of all necessary psychological evaluations. He was convicted on 45 of 48 counts of child sexual abuse in June.

When the children of God are suffering, it may be allowed by God to call attention to our sins in our lives. Can not the same be said of communities? Isn’t it time for the churches of Centre County to join together and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, review what the Church was called to do and boldly come forth and do it? May the leaders and pastors, through constant prayer, plan the ways to reach the communities as the members of the congregation pray, identify and repent of their sins and ask the Lord for guidance and strength to prepare for their roles. We are to be a light to the world but if we are not vigilant, it is easy for the ways of the world to invade our lives and cause us to stray or eve turn our backs on God Let us resolve to worship and glorify the Triune God remembering that taking down a statue is not the answer, JESUS CHRIST is!

Woman facing possible DUI By LAURA NICHOLS StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — A State College woman could face charges after she fell asleep at the wheel while driving after drinking over the weekend, police said Monday. State College Police said at 5:28 p.m. Saturday on the 1900 block of Shingletown Road, a woman told police she fell asleep while driving and only woke up once her vehicle ran off of the roadway and into a ditch on state Route 45. One witness told police the vehicle gradually merged off of the roadway and into the ditch for no apparent reason. The vehicle traveled approximately 300 and ended up in the ditch on its right side where both air bags deployed. Police suspect the woman was under the influence of alcohol and drugs and said also said she had been drinking. The woman submitted to a blood test and results are pending. The woman was transported to Mount Nittany Medical Center via a Centre County Life Link ambulance and was treated for chest and head pain.

Supreme Court justice will stand trial, judge rules By KEVIN BEGOS Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Joan Orie Melvin will stand trial on seven charges of illegally using her publicly funded staff for her political campaigns for a seat on the court in 2003 and 2009, a judge ruled Tuesday. The conservative Republican from Pittsburgh’s North Hills suburbs has denied the charges and suggested they are a political vendetta by the county’s Democratic district attorney, Stephen Zappala Jr. Melvin, who has been suspended from the court, declined

to comment on the judge’s decision. Four of the charges she faces are felonies. Her arraignment is scheduled for Aug. 14. A trial date has not yet been set. Meanwhile, Melvin’s sister, former state Sen. Jane Orie, is serving a prison sentence for convictions on similar charges, and their sister, Janine Orie, faces trial in August. Magisterial District Judge James J. Hanley Jr. on Tuesday dismissed two of the original nine charges against Melvin, but said the defense raised a number of issues during the two-day preliminary hearing that should be addressed at trial. During the hearing, Melvin

“I drove to various political events with the judge,” said Jason Davidek, a one-time staff member for Jane Orie. Davidek estimated he made about 20 such trips during the 2003 campaign season, and said political work for the judge took up about 30 percent of his working time. Barbara Brown, another former staff member for the former senator, said she knew the requests for staff to do political work were wrong but “the senator indicated on several occasions that Joan was a priority.” “It’s a known fact it’s against the rules to do political work” while on the state payroll, she said. Patrick Casey, an attorney for Melvin,

staff members and employees of other elected officials testified that they were asked or expected to do political work for Melvin while they were on the state payroll. In response, defense lawyers worked to create doubts about whether Melvin herself gave such orders or was even aware of actions taken by staff supervisors or campaign workers. The judge dismissed one misdemeanor charge of official oppression and one of criminal solicitation, agreeing with the defense that the evidence didn’t link Melvin to those charges. Prosecutors allege Melvin knew that improper activity was taking place.

repeatedly suggested the emails regarding political work that were sent from Melvin’s personal account might have been sent by someone else, such as her daughter or another campaign staff member. Brown said she assumed the emails were sent by the judge. Tracy Kolich Hall, a consultant to the Melvin campaign in 2009, said she only made campaign calls to Melvin’s personal cellphone but she also assumed the emails regarding campaign work were being sent by the judge. Jane Orie was convicted of charges related to her own campaigns and is serving a prison sentence. She was acquitted of charges that she directed her legislative staff to work on Melvin’s campaigns.

Gun policy unfazed by Aurora massacre DAN K. THOMASSON Scripps Howard News Service

WASHINGTON — If you’re among those who believe that the latest gun massacre will stimulate a national movement toward sanity in the handling of firearms you had better forget it. It isn’t going to happen. As we read about the stories of those people who died in an Aurora, Colo., theater, their loss has been degraded further by an increase in the state’s gun sales. How utterly tragic is that? The anemic anti-gun lobby can do little to overturn a culture that defies a rational solution no matter how obvious. While President Obama took time in a campaign appearance to allow that there should be some sort of national dialogue on gun policy, he made no suggestions on when or how that might occur. His presumptive Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, in no more than an acknowledgement of the disaster in Aurora, unsurprisingly refused to condemn uncontrolled access to firearms or those who support that policy with money and votes. Obviously neither candidate wishes to take on the gun barons with their huge bank accounts and their zealous followers, many of whom are God fearing about most things except the right to shoot people in the name of self-defense. Thus we are left once again to accept the standard arguments that always follow these horrific events; to whit, guns don’t kill people, people kill people and if someone had been “carrying” as Batman prepared to take on the bad guys, they could have stopped the carnage. Well, in this instance that contention is provably wrong since the alleged culprit was covered from head to toe with body armor. So once again we can only wait until the next time, knowing that it will come, and that we can do little to stop it because the nation’s founders and current politicians, who think more of their own survival in office than they do of the lives of innocents, and the courts have seen to that. The other day a Maryland man was taken into custody after he announced that guns don’t kill people, he kills people. He had in his arsenal 25 automatic and semi-automatic weapons, all primed and in good working order. Someone suggested that what is needed is for the National Rifle Association and the anti-gun forces to sit down and reach an accommodation somehow. They have to be kidding. Why would the most powerful lobby in America backed up by a seemingly endless supply of cash need to negotiate about anything? Its congressional toadies are overwhelmingly in the majority when it comes to any firearms issue from bans on the sale and circulation of weapons of mass destruction to the most elementary restrictions aimed at curtailing crazies, past felons, drug lords and even disaffected kids. Obama and Romney obviously don’t have the willpower or political courage to take on the gun issue. There seems to be only one politician who sees the problem and is willing to say so. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg refuses to be intimidated by the gun bullies and is wealthy enough to withstand anything they throw at him. It would be a breath of fresh air to see a chief executive angry enough at incidents like Aurora to pledge to do something about them and mean it.

Common ground on gun control? Is there any common ground on gun violence? Last week’s tragedy in Aurora, Colo., where a gunman killed a dozen moviegoers and injured many more, has renewed the debate over gun control in the United States. Cynics say the debate never goes anywhere, and they don’t expect it to this time — the divide between Second Amendment defenders and gun-control advocates is just too wide. Can the two sides agree on anything? Where is the middle ground? RedBlueAmerica columnists Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk consider the issue.

JOEL MATHIS Is there common ground to be found on the gun issue? Tough to say. But there is middle ground — and liberals moved there long ago. Take President Barack Obama. Everybody remembers his dismissive discussion of people “who cling to their guns and religion.” What they don’t remember, however, is that he has frequently acknowledged and affirmed a Second Amendment right to bear arms. “I, like most Americans, believe that the SecJoel Mathis, ond Amendment joelmmathis@ guarantees an ingmail.com, is a dividual the right writer in Philadelphia. to bear arms,” he told the Urban League this week, after the Aurora shootings. “And we recognize the traditions of gun ownership that passed on from generation to generation — that hunting and shooting are part of a cherished national heritage.” Obama is far from alone on this. Largely out of electoral good sense — the National Rifle Association is a formidable opponent — Democrats

JOEL MATHIS

abandoned a strict anti-gun stance years ago. Liberals favor some restrictions, yes, but they are simply not the gungrabbing bogeymen of conservative fantasies. Yet those fantasies persist. Gun sales have skyrocketed during the Obama administration, no doubt fed by the NRA campaign asserting — without evidence — that the president has a “secret” plan to ban guns in his second term. It’s the kind of crazy conspiracy theorizing best left to “truthers” and “birthers.” Which is too bad. Decades ago, the NRA recognized that the best way to preserve gun rights was to favor modest regulations to ensure responsible gun ownership. The organization long ago abandoned that stance in favor of Second Amendment fundamentalism and GOP activism. What would common ground look like? At this point, a ban on so-called “assault weapons” is probably impossible. But why not regulate bulk purchases of high-caliber ammunition or high-capacity ammo magazines? There is room for negotiation on these points, of course. Liberals have already moved to the center. The question is whether anybody will join them there.

BEN BOYCHUK Common ground on gun laws is someplace far west of New York City and east of California, which according to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence has the most restrictive gun laws in the country. Could it be the common ground we seek is already under our feet? It’s hard to take seriously the pleas for a new and improved conversation about gun regulations when some of the most prominent voices making the case are so unreasonable. Some people simply refuse to acknowledge the political consensus in the United States has moved steadily away from restriction toward a somewhat ordered liberty.

Consider New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Like President Barack Obama, Bloomberg mouths platitudes about “common sense” regulations and “reasonable” restrictions on gun ownership. Of course, New York City’s idea of “common-sense” gun control involves regulations so burdensome that very few city dwellers have the time, inclination or wherewithal to submit to the process involved with buying a pistol. As mayor, Bloomberg has done nothing to make owning a gun for self-protection any easier. Is anyone surprised? Bloomberg is also co-chairman of an organization called Mayors Against Illegal Guns, whose website calls on Americans to “demand a plan” from Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney to “address gun violence in America.” Bloomberg went on CNN the other day and showed just how u n r e a s o n a b l e Ben Boychuk, such demands bboychuk@cityjournal.org, is can be. “I don’t un- associate editor of derstand why the City Journal. police officers across this country don’t stand up collectively and say, ‘We’re going to go on strike,’” Bloomberg said. “‘We’re not going to protect you. Unless you, the public, through your legislature, do what’s required to keep us safe.’ “ (He backpedaled later, of course.) Under the circumstances, Americans shouldn’t be blamed for thinking that pious demands for “common sense” regulations and “reasonable” restrictions have less to do with sense or reason, and more to do with regulation and restriction. We have plenty of the latter already.

HEALTH & WELLNESS Macro, and micro, and phyto — oh my! JULIE A. WILCZYNSKI

Julie A. Wilczynski is a traditional naturopath, counselor of natural health, certified nutritional consultant, certified personal trainer, and yoga and Pilates instructor.

It can get confusing out there in the world of natural and nutritional health, especially if you are new to the lingo. Everyone tosses around fancy words and uses jargon we may be unfamiliar with. Don’t be afraid to pull back the curtain and expose the nutritional wizard — let’s learn a little about nutrients together. Macronutrients are the main components of our diet. The three macronutrients of protein, fat and carbohydrates all perform essential roles in the human body. Our bodies require other nutrients as well, such as vitamins and minerals,

which are needed in much smaller quantities and referred to as micronutrients. Micronutrients work hand in hand with the macronutrients to fuel the body. For example, to make energy your body uses carbohydrates as fuel along with B vitamins, or coenzymes, as the “spark.” Phytonutrients are nutrients derived from plant material that have been shown to be necessary for sustaining human life. Phytochemicals are non-nutritive plant chemicals that contain protective, disease-preventing, compounds. Don’t let the word “chemicals” throw you… these types of chemicals are actually good for you. Their role in plants is to protect them from disease, injuries, insects, drought, excessive heat, ultraviolet rays, and poisons or pollutants in the air or soil. These phytochemicals form part of the plants immune system. Phytochemicals are associated with the prevention and/or treatment of at least four of the leading causes of death in Western countries — cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and hypertension. They are involved in many processes including ones that help prevent cell damage, prevent

Red Cross blood supply drops to emergency levels

cancer cell replication and decrease cholesterol levels. Now that we have defined the “jargon” words, let’s pull back that curtain a little further and completely expose the macronutrient. Proteins are essential to a balanced diet as amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Proteins crucial role in the body includes building, maintaining and repairing body tissue. Proteins are also used to aid in the immune process. Complete proteins are found in animal products such as meat, eggs and milk. A protein that contains all 20 amino acids are called complete proteins. There are 20 different amino acids, 9 of which are essential. These essential amino acids must be obtained through the diet because the body cannot produce them naturally. Carbohydrates are the main energy source of the body and are found in many foods. When choosing a healthy carbohydrate choose options like fruits, vegetables, beans and nuts as well as whole grains. Glucose is the byproduct of simple sugar breakdown. And glucose is essential for the

body, the preferred source of energy in our brain, heart and central nervous system. Fat is in fact essential for maintaining a healthy body. The trick is to eat more of the good fats and less of the bad fats. Saturated and trans fats should be avoided while increased levels of unsaturated and the essential fatty acids such as omega 3 and omega 6 can be good for you. Replacing sweets and high fat meats with food such as nuts, avocados and olive oil will help shift the balance away from unhealthy towards those fats that are useful to the body. Fat plays a vital role in the digestion and assimilation of vitamins A, D, E and K which are all fat soluble vitamins, meaning they need fat in order to be absorbed into the body. If you are still confused about what these nutrients are and why they are important in creating and maintain a vibrant body visit my website for more information www.drjuliend.com/ccgazette.html. Or for help in creating your own personalized healthy lifestyle program contact Julie at JulieAW@zoominternet.net or (724) 4078017.

From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — Blood donations through the American Red Cross are at the lowest they have been in 15 years. With summer storms forcing the cancellation of dozens of blood drives and extreme heat keeping many donors at home, there is an emergency need to boost the blood supply. Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood. As the nation’s largest supplier of blood and blood products, the Red Cross is dedicated to ensuring that every patient who needs a lifesaving transfusion is able to receive one. In fact, the Red Cross must collect more than 17,000 pints of blood each day to meet the needs of patients at more than 3,000 hospitals and transfusion centers across the country. If at least three extra donors gave blood at every Red Cross drive through the rest of July, there would be enough blood on the shelves to meet patient needs. All blood types are needed to ensure an adequate blood supply. Donors with type O negative, O positive, A negative or B negative are especially encouraged to give this summer. Individuals who are 17 years of age, 16 with parental permission (form can

ABOUT 150 PEOPLE came to the public meeting to discuss the proposed Ram Centre.

BARBARA McNITT, of Centre Hall, spoke in opposition to the Ram Centre, calling it “a distraction” to the school board.

Board hears mixed reactions on proposed Ram Centre By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — The Penns Valley Area School District held a public meeting in the high school auditorium on July 26 to discuss the construction of the proposed Ram Centre. The Ram Centre Inc., a nonprofit group, plans to build a community center housing a gymnasium, multi-purpose rooms, a child care center, a senior center and a 10,000-square foot medical facility, among other features. The facility would be located on Penns Valley Area School District land, behind the high school in Penn Township. In July of 2011, The Penns Valley Area school board approved a 30-year lease of property for the center, but objections from a community action group caused the board to rescind its lease agreement and hold a public forum to gather input from the public before considering any further action. The meeting, moderated by Centre Hall attorney LeDon Young, opened with pre-

sentations by the Ram Community Center Board, the YMCA, which would be the center’s primary tenant, the Penns Valley School District and the Penns Valley Community Action Group, which opposes the construction of the center on school district property. Each speaker presented opinions regarding the benefits of the center, and concerns of safety and increased tax burden to residents of the district. The group opposing the construction on school property claims the school board acted behind closed doors, and some of its members have a conflict of interest. Ram Centre proponents claim the benefits to the community outweigh the concerns of the center’s opponents. After the group presentations, the floor was opened to individual comments, each being limited to three minutes. More than 50 people took their turn at the microphone making their views heard. Barbara McNitt of Centre Hall believes the Ram Centre does not address the needs of Penns Valley school students, and has become a major distraction to the school board’s charge of tending to the needs of

the students. She opposes its construction on school property. Greg Williams of Spring Mills opposes the Ram Centre being built on school property. “I feel this will potentially become a financial burden to the school district, and in turn, the taxpayers,” Williams said. Bob Booz of Centre Hall replied to those who claimed the public was not informed about the proposed center by citing a 2010 feasibility study and survey of 700 families in the Penns Valley area. Over 100 families responded to the survey with suggestions regarding the proposed center. Booz said: “At no time during the study did anyone ever say anything against having it (the center) on school property.” Larry Bair of Spring Mills likened the center’s controversy to that of the original merger of schools in the 1950s which formed the Penns Valley School District. His father was on the board which approved that merger. “My parents were cursed on the streets,” said Bair. “But looking back, does

anyone now think that merger was a bad idea?” He urged the school board to continue with the project. Tom Searfoss, a minister and psychotherapist raised in Penns Valley said that, based on his experience, “For the future, to not do this will cost you more than you can imagine,” he said. Ruth Snyder of Spring Mills opposes the Ram Centre as planned, and instead proposes an additional gymnasium be added to the existing high school building. Terry Allen of Spring Mills said that if the public was truly behind the Ram Centre, its board would be able to raise the funds necessary to purchase privately owned land to build center on. Citizens’ comments at this meeting went on for hours, presenting the school board members with large amounts of information and opinions. The board will make a decision between pursuing a new lease, selling some land to the RCC board, or washing its hands of the project, leaving the RCC board to pursue the project alone.

Local author writes book to benefit school building By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

REBERSBURG — Brush Valley historian and author Evonne “Vonnie” Henninger has written her third book of Brush Valley history. The book is titled “Brush Valley III,” and features many stories of life in the area in the 1800s and early 1900s. Proceeds from the book’s sales will be used for the restoration of the historic Gramley Schoolhouse in Rebersburg. The Gramley School was constructed in 1838, and was located on Back Road, east of Rebersburg. It was located on land that had been the Philip Gramley family farm, and thus became known as the Gramley School. The school was used for eight grades until 1921, when it was closed. The building sat vacant until 1924, when it was disassembled and moved to Town Lane Road in Rebersburg, south of the Miles

Township High School. It reopened in the fall of 1924, with two grades in its single classroom. In its latter years, the Gramley building saw duty as a gymnasium, a storage room and as a kindergarten classroom. In 2011, the building was moved again, this time to a spot just 200 feet to the south to get it away from the expanded Miles Township Elementary School building. The district’s insurance carrier had deemed it a fire hazard due to its wooden structure and 12 foot proximity to the elementary school building. After the move, a restoration project was begun to return the school to its original condition and turn it into a museum. To date, many improvements have been made to the building. The exterior has been repainted in the original bright red color with white trim. The interior walls have been re-plastered, and a new electrical entrance has

been installed, with the capacity for adding electric heat in the future. A new concrete porch and walkway with metal railings has been installed. Penns Valley High School student Tyler Breon did landscaping of the grounds for his senior project. A new wooden laminate floor will soon be installed, which will approximate the original wooden floor boards. Progress on the restoration has been slower than the museum committee had hoped. “It’s taken a little longer because we ran out of money,” said Henninger. The museum will contain school memorabilia, desks, school books, class photos, history books, atlases and other items relating to Brush Valley history. Diaries of several prominent citizens of the 1800s and early 1900s will be featured as well. David Mann from Atlanta donated four

ledgers from the Miles Township School Board dating from 1870 to 1930. The ledgers list teacher salaries, bills paid and problems encountered by the school boards. According to Henninger, the museum committee hopes to open the museum to the public sometime this fall, but it will be an ongoing project, welcoming donations of historical items and money from the public. “Brush Valley III” contains many interesting stories of life in the Brush Valley area, including some little known events. For example, there was a counterfeiting ring in Brush Valley that was broken up in 1898. One gentleman who ran a foundry and machine shop produced an excellent set of molds and dies for striking counterfeit coins. His partner circulated the coins throughout Centre County. Local merchants began to notice the fake coins and contacted police and even the Secret Service in Washington, D.C. A de-

tective was sent to Rebersburg, and ferreted out the counterfeiters and brought them to justice. Other stories detail the dayto-day travail of farm life, enduring harsh winters, travel before automobiles and many other aspects of rural life in Brush Valley. The book also contains 100 photos of farms, churches, citizens and events in the area, some dating as far back as the middle 1800s. Rolls from the mustering of 72 Civil War soldiers in the area in 1862 are also included in the book. The museum board representatives will be at Grange Fair in August selling books. Henninger plans to write two more books — one on the houses in Rebersburg, and one on the schools of Miles Township. “If I live long enough,” she said. For more information, call Vonnie Henninger at (814) 3498960.

New PennDOT contract saves Civil War group meeting set nearly $6.5 million annually From Gazette staff reports From Gazette staff reports HARRISBURG — A recently negotiated contract for vehicle emissions and safety inspection station management services will save the state approximately $1 million annually and could save vehicle owners nearly $5.5 million. Parsons Commercial Technology Group Inc., a provider of auto emissions management programs, has been contracted to oversee privately owned safety and emissions inspection stations in the 25 counties where emissions testing is required. Beginning Oct. 9, the new contract reduces the program management fee paid by station owners for each initial emission test from the current $2.40 to $1.47. With more than 5.7 million

tests administered each year, this is a projected savings of $5.3 million. The new contract also reduces the program management fee for auto safety inspection stations using PennDOT’s e-SAFETY program from the current 74 cents per inspection to 18 cents, a $200,000 per-year savings to participating stations. PennDOT will actively encourage stations to pass along these savings to consumers. “We are extremely pleased with this new contract and the opportunity to ultimately save consumers money through these reduced costs,” said PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch. “Reducing costs to inspection station owners — a savings which can be passed on to consumers — is a welcome sign in these tough economic times.”

The new contract will also save PennDOT about $1 million annually because Parsons will charge less to oversee the safety inspection program in the 25 counties. PennDOT, working with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), is committed to ensuring Pennsylvania has the most effective program possible, focused on minimizing customer impact while meeting Federal Clean Air Act obligations. PennDOT and DEP will continue reviewing the state’s auto emission program to identify potential program enhancements in the future. For more information on PennDOT’s safety and emissions inspection programs, visit the Motor Vehicle Information Center at www.dmv. state.pa.us.

The Fresh Life: Explaining ‘dog days’ In central Pennsylvania, we are lucky enough to enjoy four seasons. Fall, with its beautiful array of colors and crisp cool nights, winter, with its barren, cold and snowy days. Spring, which offers sprinkles of rain that help the trees and flowers bloom and the warmest of the four seasons, summer. Summer offers an escape from the cold with temperatures ranging from the mid70s up to 100 degrees. For approximately two months people rely on air conditioners, swimming pools and Amy Debach-Concool treats like ice fer is a photographer and picture cream to keep them framing profession- cool.

during these hottest days of the summer.” When speaking of “Dog Days” there seems to be a vision of dogs sprawled out on cool surfaces or “dogging” around. The saying “dog tired” can also be associated with these hot days where dogs and humans alike become weak in the hot and humid summer weather. A similar thought believes the time is so-named because rabid dogs and animals are more commonly seen during this time. While all of these reasons sound like plausible possibilities for calling this time the “Dog Days,” they are actually far from the truth. The simple name actually comes from the ancient Roman belief that Sirius, also called the Dog Star, which is in close proximity to the sun, was responsible for the hot weather. The Romans referred to the Dog Days as “diēs caniculārēs” and considered Sirius to be the “Dog Star” because it is the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major (Large Dog). Against better modern practices, the Romans often sacrificed a brown dog at the beginning of the Dog Days to appease the rage of Sirius, believing that the star was the cause of the hot and sultry weather, evil behaviors, and strange happenings during this time. According to Brady’s Clavis Calendaria in 1813, “The sea boiled, the wine turned sour, dogs grew mad, and all other creatures became languid; causing to man,

State College company conducting survey of Penn State community From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — Affinity Connection, a State College-based company that serves nonprofit and alumni interest group organizations nationwide, is seeking a thoughtful assessment on the road ahead from people who care about rebuilding the Penn State and local communities. “Our desire is to bring the voice of the Penn State community to the table in a formal way through a survey that goes deeper into people’s insights and opinions about how we can evaluate our current situation and chart a course for the future. We are striving to do a formal collection and analysis of opinions and insights through this survey. We also believe it would be healthy to compare these points of view against the institutional messages from Penn State. Most of all we are striving to identify, through the voices of those with the closest ties to Penn State, how to build a community that stands together to focus on the healing of the innocent victims in this tragedy and to prevent these types of heinous crimes in the future,” said Affinity Connection CEO Greg Woodman. Affinity Connection is seeking participation in the survey from key stakeholders, including: ■ Penn State alumni, students, parents and faculty ■ Local residents, business owners and employers ■ Penn State fans and visitors to Happy Valley To take the survey: The Independent Survey of the Penn State Community by Affinity Connection may be submitted by anyone with Internet access via the URL (http://www.affinityconnection.com/PSU

-survey). Or, respondents can mail their printed answers to each of the following questions to Affinity Connection, c/o The Penn State Community Survey, 2160 Sandy Drive, Suite D, State College, Pennsylvania 16803. In the face of NCAA and Big 10 sanctions including: a four-year football postseason ban, removal of all wins from 1998 to 2011, a $60 million University fine, $13 million football program fine, five-year probation and an athletic scholarship reduction, Affinity Connection believes that the results of a community survey will surface recommendations that may help the Penn State community, along with the local community, rebuild a values-based culture and develop a sustainable economy. Affinity Connection serves nonprofit organizations and affinity groups with friendraising and fundraising programs driven by frequent, consistent and meaningful communications. “Extracting meaning from the donors and members of our client organizations is a critical piece of the marketing and fundraising puzzle,” said Woodman. “Often we find that groups are struggling and suffering from a lack of integration among the leadership, donors, members, and other stakeholders. By uncovering, or rediscovering in some cases, the core values and underlying mission, we can reintegrate and realign stakeholder groups and build a strong foundation for rebirth or growth.” For more information about Affinity Connection, visit www.affinityconnection. com or email jburns@affinityconnection. com.

Circle of Hope group meeting set for Aug. 9 From Gazette staff reports TYRONE — Circle of Hope will hold a meeting for special needs children and families at 7 p.m. Aug. 9 at the Tyrone Public Library. This group will be addressing concerns

among other diseases, burning fevers, hysterics, and phrensies.” The modern French term for both this summer period, and for heat waves in general, is called “canicule,” which derives from this same term meaning “little dog,” again referring to Sirius. Although the time does not refer to actual dogs, during this time of increased heat a variety of health risks may arise for pets. Unlike humans, cats and dogs primarily expel heat through their respiratory tract, consisting of the trachea, lungs and skin. They actually lack the ability to sweat. Therefore, acclimating to the hot and/or humid climates during this time is more challenging to our feline and canine companions. In warmer temperatures, adjust your home and car climate to better suit your pet’s needs. Provide air conditioning and well-circu-

lated air to keep your pet cool both indoors and during vehicular travel. During these hot, humid, sultry days of summer, remember, we’ve been waiting to enjoy the warmth outside. If the heat is truly unbearable, go to the movies to watch the upcoming, “Diary of a Wimpy Kid-Dog Days” or stay at home in the air and listen to Florence and the Machine’s 2008 single “The Dog Days Are Over.” One can also stay inside and read a good book. In the prologue of “Tuck Everlasting,” set in the first week of August, the script reads: “These are strange and breathless days, the dog days, when people are led to do things they are sure to be sorry for after.” Whatever you do, make the best of these hot days and remember the real reason for why these few months are called the Dog Days of summer.

Alumni group questions Bruce Springsteen procedure for investigation coming to BJC on Nov. 1 By NATE MINK StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn Staters for Responsible Stewardship, a small grassroots alumni group on the warpath for reform on the Board of Trustees, is asking the university to release the names of all the firms it contacted before hiring Louis Freeh’s group to conduct an independent investigation into the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. The group also wants public a letter of intent under which the investigation was initiated, as well as the memorandum of understanding beLOUIS FREEH tween the school and Freeh Sporkin & Sullivan LLP. “Certainly, for an investigation of this size, there would be a detailed scope of work which would clearly state the objectives, what means and methodology would be used, and to what extent the final product would be used to characterize the

events encompassing the Sandusky tragedy,” said group spokeswoman Maribeth Schmidt. “We would expect such topics — among many others — as lack of subpoena power and the potential inability to interview key figures to be addressed upfront with caveats regarding their bearing on the report’s conclusions.” Since the release of the Freeh Report, the group is outraged Freeh may be missing facts, omitting critical information and making assumptions which are not supported by facts. “The accusations implied throughout the report, with no basis of fact, are sinking our school and further damaging the Penn State brand with each reference to it,” Schmidt said. “It is unconscionable that the trustees would not only rely upon this report, but would knowingly thrust it upon the NCAA, the Big Ten and the general public as the definitive account. We all know that can — and will — only occur in a court of law." The organization reported it saw a 45 percent increase in membership since the release of the Freeh Report, bringing its total membership to more than 8,500, or about 1.7 percent of all Penn State alumni.

Paterno statue moved to undisclosed location By LAURA NICHOLS StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The likeness of Joe Paterno, a bronze statute standing 7 feet tall and weighing 900 pounds, was removed from Beaver Stadium for the final time on July 27, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. The school would not offer confirmation as to whether the Paterno statue had been removed, but the Inquirer reported it was loaded into the back of truck and taken to an undisclosed location.

With children, consistency is key By CELESTA POWELL Special to The Gazette

“Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they’re going to catch you in next.” — Franklin P. Jones When I was 18 years old, I went on the vacation of my dreams. I drove from California to the Grand Canyon with my aunt, uncle and their two children, ages 6 and 11. The glitch to the trip was the 10 hours trapped in the minivan with my beloved aunt saying to my arguing, nitpicking cousins, “if you do that one more time we are turning around and going home.” It would quiet for awhile and then my cousins would argue again and she would repeat herself over and over and over. I desperately begged her after an hour for us to turn around and go home, meanwhile my cousins continued to bicker the entire drive. Now don’t get me wrong, my aunt and uncle are wonderful people, however in that moment, I believed she didn’t do what she said was going to and her kids were awful. The message I was getting as an innocent trapped car passenger was “these children are never going to respond to empty threats — ever!” These days I live my life surrounded by children. I work with them, I have four of my own, and subsequently, I learn everyday what I do well and what I don’t. I have learned from my mistakes and from my observations. From both of these methods I have determined that being a consistent adult is what makes the difference in being effective with kids. In my Grand Canyon adventure, I learned that repeating yourself over and over about what to stop doing is not effective in managing kids’ behavior, and I’ve discovered how helpful it can be to have a consistent, reliable routine with kids. While my trip to the Grand Canyon has

always reminded me to be clear with my words and consequences for a youth, I quickly learned that my behavior as a caregiver shapes so much of a child’s future. I know that a steady bedtime and wake up time works wonders for the sanity of the parent and the growth of the child. I know that consistently healthy meals and exercise are essential to a child’s physical development. I know that when my husband and other caregivers are working with me, the children around me know that there is strength and reliability between the adults. I know that when I do the right thing, I model the right thing to the children that are watching. All of these consistent actions are the backbone of strong capable children who become strong, capable adults. Characteristics of consistent caregivers are reliability, dependability, constancy and genuineness. The children that I share time with know what my word means, know what to expect from me, and know that I am available to them. Back to the Grand Canyon … like all parents, my aunt’s focus was a consistent message to my cousins to behave. When my aunt realized her technique of repeating an empty threat wasn’t working for her or my cousins, she did what all good parents do; she timed herself out, evaluated what she was doing, and then changed her technique. When she was clear and concise and took action immediately, (separating them) the bickering stopped. I didn’t need to beg for a reprieve and the remainder of the trip was fantastic. Today, my cousins have become dependable, reliable, and above all authentic adults to those around them because my aunt modeled it on that very memorable trip.

Penn State may tweak ticket-pricing program By NATE MINK StateCollege.com

CHICAGO — Penn State’s tiered ticket pricing system could be getting a makeover in 2013 and beyond. Acting Athletic Director Dave Joyner said Friday that the current financial state of the athletic department in the wake of heavy NCAA sanctions has led to more serious consideration about tweaking the STEP program. “I don’t know what we’ll do, if anything, but we’re gonna re-look at it,” Joyner said. Almost anything is on the table, including the possibility of suspending the program, which requires Penn State season ticket holders to give a certain donation level based on seat location — on top of the price of tickets. One solution may be offering more pricing zones in Beaver Stadium.

Another may be reducing the required donation based on seat location; for instance, lowering the price if you have a higher seat on the 50-yard line versus someone whose seat is on the 50 at field level. Included in Penn State coach Bill O’Brien’s pitch to players and prospective recruits is the opportunity to play in front of 108,000 fans seven times a year. But attendance has dipped in recent years, with the STEP program playing a decisive role in many ticket holders’ choice of whether to renew their seats. Joyner did not seem worried the weight of the NCAA sanctions would immediately impact attendance. “I’m getting a lot of emails from people saying we’re gonna really stimulate, we’re gonna buy a lot of tickets to come to these games,” Joyner said. “It’s like we’re waking up a sleeping fan base.”

Civil War Round Table meet Aug. 7 in Boalsburg From Gazette staff reports STATE COLLEGE — The Central PA Civil War Round Table will meet on at 7 p.m. on Aug. 7 at the PA Military Museum auditorium in Boalsburg. Mark Trbovich will speak on “24 Hours at Manassas Junction, Second Manassas Campaign, August 27, 1862.” 150 years ago, events in the United States were turbulent, uncertain, nationalistic and full of terror. This year 2012 marks the 150th anniversary of those Civil War battles and events that occurred in 1862. Aug. 28-30, 1862, marks the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Second Manassas (or Bull Run), Va. The battle would be a major victory for the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia under the command of Gens. Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and James Longstreet as they thoroughly defeat the Union’s Army of Virginia under

Gen. John Pope. Second Manassas brought Robert E. Lee and the Confederacy to the height of their power. Trbovich is the president of the Bull Run Civil War Round Table and president of the Prince William Historic Preservation Foundation. He has been interested in Civil War sites since 1999 and has been instrumental in the creation of 20 Civil War trails markers. Trbovich enjoys lecturing about various Civil War battles and local historical events. He has been lecturing for the past seven years. The PA Military Museum is at 602 Boalsburg Pike in Boalsburg. Anyone who is interested in the Civil War or joining the Central PA Civil War Round Table is invited to attend.

Last Cruise car show draws large crowds By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — The Last Cruise originated 26 years ago when two local radio personalities, Wendy Williams and Kevin Nelson, urged their listeners to come to State College for one last legal cruise on Beaver and College avenues before a new anti-cruising ordinance took effect. They expected a few cars to show up, but were shocked to find hundreds of cars inching through town in what Williams described as “gridlock on College and Beaver Avenues as far as you could see, and police on every corner.” A tradition was born that night, and the next year an afternoon car show was added in the downtown area. The show is now held on the grounds of the PA Military Museum in Boalsburg. Proceeds from the show benefit the Centre County Youth Service Bureau. This year’s show was held on July 28 and was filled with 185 cars and trucks and about 30 motorcycles of all descriptions spread across the spacious grounds. Spectators walked among the vehicles all afternoon, enjoying the antiques, classics, hot rods, trucks, muscle cars and bikes. Vendors were on hand to fill the spectators with good food and cold drinks to combat the mid-day heat. A mid-afternoon thundershower sent spectators running for cover under vendors’ canopies, and the whirr of electric motors was heard as convertible tops and windows were quickly rolled up. Among the cars shown was a dark red 1949 Plymouth convertible owned by Cecil and Susan Brumbaugh of Shirleysburg. They found the car in a relative’s garage

where it had sat unused for 42 years. “The engine was completely locked up,” said Cecil Brumbaugh. The flathead six cylinder engine was torn down and completely rebuilt. The body was repainted in the original Mexican red color, and a new tan top and red and tan interior upholstery were fitted to the Plymouth. It has the factory three speed manual transmission with a steering column-mounted shifter. Paul Martin Jr., of Bellefonte, showed a shining black 1958 ford Skyliner. This model, made for just three years (19571959) features a metal top which retracts into the trunk, providing the best of both the hardtop and convertible worlds. The retraction mechanism is a Rube Goldberglike maze of rods, levers, hinges, electric motors (13 of them) and luggage space in the trunk with the top down is just slightly larger than a laundry basket. It was a beautiful, but somewhat impractical model in its day. David and Deb Packard of East Berlin, Pa., came to the show in their 1955 Packard Clipper Custom. Dave bought the car partly because of the Packard name. The car is painted in a typical mid-1950s color scheme of turquoise blue and white. It’s a huge car by today’s standards, but there were even larger models available back then. After the show in Boalsburg, the downtown cruise began in State College. Many classics, muscle cars and antiques were seen cruising on College and Beaver avenues. The sound of big V-8’s pulling briskly away from the stop lights is very appealing to car lovers. The streets were lined with spectators enjoy-

A group of the best of the show in Boalsburg were invited to this event to see which cars were the very best the area has to offer. One car which drew a large crowd was a light blue 1959 Pontiac Bonneville convertible owned by John Koeck of Hollidaysburg. Koeck has owned the big

Bonneville since 1962. “I got married in that car, and so did my son — three times,” laughed Koeck. He said the Danbury Mint Company used this car as a pattern for a 1/24 scale diecast model. “They spent days measuring and photographing it,” he said. All the cars in this show were of amazing quality and finish, and were a delight for the large crowd of spectators.

Get ready for back to school with these tips By SAMI HULINGS For The Gazette

For many children, summertime is the highlight of their year — swimming all day, playing until dark, staying up late and sleeping in every morning. But soon, this routine will have to change. As the new school year begins to creep closer, parents often wonder what they can do to ready their children for back-to-school time. Getting organized and changing routines early can make the summer to school transition run much smoother. Use these ideas to prepare your children (and yourself) for the busy back-to-school days. ■ Ease into the school year schedule: The night before school starts is no time for drastic changes to a child’s sleep schedule. During the last two weeks of summer, reintroduce a school year bedtime. Slowly wake your child up a few minutes earlier each day until they are comfortable with waking up early again. Goal: Have a set schedule before the first day of school. ■ Create a positive attitude about going back to school: Though many do enjoy the school year, children are often filled with dread when it gets closer to back-to-school time. Make your child excited about returning to school by talking about being able to see friends, meeting his or her new teacher and being involved with extra-curricular activities. Focus on things that interest your child to emphasize how fun school can be. Goal: Have your child look forward to returning to school. ■ Create a calendar: The school year is a time of school functions, music lessons, sport practices and club meetings. To lessen confusion for both you and your child, create a designated area where all calendars and appointments will be located. Try to condense schedules by creating a master calendar which is used by the whole family.

Elementary school supplies For elementary school students, basic school supplies are needed to complete in-school and out-of-school assignments. Parents may find it beneficial to keep a stock of supplies for homework use, as things like pencils, crayons and scissors are needed on a daily basis. Make sure to pay attention to papers sent home during the first week of school, as some teachers may require specific supplies for their classrooms.

Color-code each person’s events to keep everything straight. Have your child carry a planner with his or her events recorded. Goal: Create less chaos by being organized from the beginning. ■ Set goals for the upcoming school year: Help your child create realistic goals pertaining to schoolwork. Ask them what they hope to accomplish and use these as goals. Try to not push your own predetermined goals on them. Always remember that school isn’t just about grades. It’s about making lasting friendships, staying organized, maturing and learning to be comfortable with oneself. Goal: Set three to five goals that your child hopes to accomplish by the end of the school year.

Supplies: ❑ Backpack ❑ No. 2 pencils (wooden, mechanical or both) ❑ Glue sticks ❑ Erasers (large pink or pencil cap) ❑ Washable markers ❑ Crayons (make sure it contains at least the eight basic colors) ❑ Colored pencils ❑ Pencil Box ❑ Two or three folders to store worksheets and homework assignments ❑ One pair of student scissors ❑ Ruler with English and metric measurements ❑ Notebooks (oftentimes elementary teacher provide notebooks, so check before purchasing) ❑ Loose-leaf notebook paper (some teachers may require this instead of notebook paper) ❑ Construction paper ❑ Scotch tape ❑ Hand sanitizer — Sami Hulings

■ Plan before you shop: Back-to-school time is one of the busiest shopping times of the year. Many sales begin in early July, so back-to-school shopping can never be too soon. Before heading out though, be informed. Assess what your child has. Learn what clothing and school supplies he or she will need for the coming school year. Goal: Create a shopping list before going to stores. Stick to the list as much as possible. ■ Make a practice run: After your child’s sleeping habits are back in school year mode and clothes and supplies are bought, have a “school morning” practice run. Show your child how things will work in the mornings for the coming year. In doing so, you and your child will have a better understanding of what needs to be done each morning and how long it will take. Goal: Work out all possible issues to have the morning run as smoothly as possible. By starting early, getting organized and setting goals, you can provide your child with every opportunity to be ready for the coming school year. Showing them structure, early morning energy, enthusiasm and a positive outlook will make the back-to-school transition easier and will have your child looking forward to an exciting new school year.

Middle school supplies Middle school means higher level learning with more homework, projects, quizzes and tests. Because of this, students need more supplies than they did in elementary school, especially when it comes to organizing and studying. Though the basics are still needed, look into getting doubles or triples of everything. Students will be thankful when they have that extra pencil or notebook handy come note-taking time.

Supplies: ❑ Backpack ❑ Lunch box ❑ No. 2 pencils (wooden, mechanical or both) ❑ Colored pencils ❑ Erasers (large pink or pencil cap) ❑ Highlighters (various colors) ❑ Notebooks for each class (if middle school does not supply) ❑ Binders or folders for each class ❑ Loose-leaf notebook paper for binders ❑ A ruler with English and metric measurements ❑ A three-hole punch ❑ An organizer/planner to record homework and test dates ❑ Combination locks (if they are required and not provided) ❑ Index cards (make great flashcards for study sessions) ❑ Scientific or graphic calculator ❑ USB flash drive (to store work done at school or at home for projects and homework) ❑ Book covers ❑ Hand sanitizer — Sami Hulings

High school supplies To ensure success, high school students should be prepared for any assignment by having all the necessary school supplies. Like elementary and middle school students, high school students still need basic supplies such as pencils, notebooks and a backpack, but because of the demands of high school education, addition supplies are also needed. Technology will play a much bigger role in high school learning, but check with the high school before buying expensive electronics.

Supplies: ❑ Backpack ❑ No. 2 pencils (wooden, mechanical or both) ❑ Netbook (smaller than a laptop, many high school classes require a large amount of computer work) ❑ Erasers (large pink or pencil cap) ❑ Notebooks for each class (most high schools do not supply) ❑ Binders or folders for each class (most high schools do not supply) ❑ Loose leaf paper for notes and homework (some teachers may require this instead of notebook paper) ❑ Graph paper (a requirement for many high school math classes) ❑ Organizer/planner to record homework and test dates ❑ Ruler marked with English and metric measurements ❑ Scientific calculator/graphing calculator ❑ Index cards (make great flashcards for study sessions) ❑ Highlighters ❑ Flash drive ❑ Paper clips ❑ Stapler ❑ Pocket dictionary ❑ Thesaurus ❑ Protractor ❑ Compass ❑ Foreign Language Dictionary ❑ Hand sanitizer — Sami Hulings

Change could make a statement Around the state in the world of sports: ■ Change is in the air at Penn State. At Big Ten Media Days last week, first-year coach Bill O’Brien hinted that there may be changes to the Nittany Lions’ uniforms on the horizon. “(It’s a) new era of Penn State footPhoto provided ball,” O’Brien said. “And some of the ONE OF THE Nike “Pro Combat” designs that changes people Penn State could use this season. will have to wait and see until September, on Sept. 1.” There have been rumors that the entire uniform will be revamped. There are also rumors that it will simply sustain some minor tweaks before the season opener, which is less than a month away. It’s hard to imagine Nike putting together massive changes in less than a month, but it’s certainly plausible. When he was hired back in January, O’Brien said that he had no plans on changing the uniform. However, following the Freeh report and a plethora of sanctions from the NCAA, uniform changes might help the program move forward. The simple blue and white uniforms have been synonymous with the program. When one thinks of those classic uniforms, one thinks of Joe Paterno. In light of what has happened here, a total re-design just might be in order. I do have a suggestion for the Penn State brass: Ask the folks at Nike to design a “ProCombat” Penn State uniform. Nike has done Chris Morelli is the this for many schools, including Florida State, editor of the Centre Virginia Tech, Miami, Florida, Pitt, Texas County Gazette. He Christian, Southern Methodist, Oklahoma can be reached at State, Missouri, LSU and Oklahoma. editor@centre countygazette.com Penn State could employ the “Pro-Combat” uniform for a Big Ten game at some point this season. Now, here’s the catch. The sleek uniform would probably be very popular among students, so sell the uniform at the bookstore on campus and at stores off-campus as well. Team up with Nike to donate all of the proceeds from the sale of the jersey to charities that aim to prevent child sex abuse. Penn State could even take it a step further and put the game-worn jerseys up for auction. Donate the proceeds from the online auction as well. “There’s a lot of discussion going on with our football team right now,” O’Brien said. “We’ve got a group of young men there, like I said, that are sticking together. And there’s changes that have taken place at Penn State over the last six months that are reflected already.” By selling the jerseys and donating the proceeds, a uniform can make a statement. Not just a fashion statement. ■ Speaking of uniforms, if you’re a Pittsburgh Steelers fan with a Mike Wallace No. 17 jersey, you may want to retire it. The contract squabble between Wallace and the Steelers doesn’t appear to be getting any better as the team enters the second week of training camp. Wallace wants Larry Fitzgerald-type money, which is just outrageous. Last season, Wallace caught 72 balls for 1,193 yards — an average of 16.6 per catch. He had eight touchdowns, including a record 95-yard TD against the Arizona Cardinals. However, his numbers really dipped in the second half of 2011. With the Steelers signing Antonio Brown to a big extension, it appears unlikely that Wallace will be in a Steelers’ uniform past 2012. The Steelers rarely negotiate contracts during the season, so Wallace could sit out this season. That seems unlikely, though. Wallace will probably play out his current deal and test the free agent waters next season. It will be a huge loss for a team that lacks a player who can stretch the field and make big-time plays in crucial situations. ■ For the first time in a long time, the Pittsburgh Pirates head into August very much in the playoff chase. They’re chasing the red-hot Cincinnati Reds in the National League Central, but are in line for a wild card berth. Division titles and playoff berths are new lingo for a new generation of Pirates’ fans, many of whom have never witnessed a winning season. For those of you who are new to pennant races: It’s only August. There’s a lot of time left on the baseball calendar. A losing streak isn’t the end of the world, and a winning streak doesn’t salt anything away at this point. Back in 1990, the Pirates made their first playoff appearance since 1979. That team had the “Outfield of Dreams” featuring Barry Bonds, Andy Van Slyke and Bobby Bonilla. However, the surprising Reds ousted them from the postseason, four games to two. Perhaps it’s time for a rematch? Stay tuned.

NCPGA JUNIOR TOUR The North Central Pennsylvania Golf Association conducts Junior Golf Tournaments, for boys and girls ages 5 through 19, consisting of four divisions for boys and three divisions for girls, using different yardage for each appropriate age. The NCPGA Junior Tour is available to all children with golf experience who enroll at ncpjpc.ghinclub.com. The youngest divisions in each category play five-hole tournaments. Boys 10-12 and girls 12-14 play 9-hole tournaments. Boys 13 and older and girls 15 and older play 18-hole events. Each season the NCPGA Junior Tour schedules a Match Play Championship. The two- day championship is an invitation-only event that features the top 16

players from the tour's two 18-hole divisions. To qualify for the Match Play Championship, a player must participate in at least three tour events. (All players are required to play 36 holes each day of the tournament.) All members of the Junior Tour series have exclusive access to the NCPGA Junior Players Club Eclubhouse site, where they can register for all junior tournaments, track their stats and review tournament information. Golfers can register and review the site at ncpjpc.ghinclub.com. The staff at NCPGA also offers handicaps through GHIN (Golf Handicap and Information Network) to all juniors in the tournament series free of charge. The NCPGA is under the direction of Joe Faust, executive director from Sunbury. The public relations director is under auspices of Jeff Ranck of Lewisburg.

CREATION OF THE NCPGA “In the fall of 1980, right after I had won what was an attempt at the SUN Amateur (Snyder-Union and Northumberland Counties), Susquehanna Valley Country Club Pro Greg Felty and I had a conversation about what was lacking in our area as it pertains to golf opportunities and especially the development of junior golf,” explained Ranck. “I had been the golf coach at Bucknell University and had stepped down in order to pursue business opportunities. We were envious of the Pennsylvania Golf Association, the Golf Association of Philadelphia and the West Penn Golf Association because they had quality championships on great golf courses. So there were plenty of opportunities for amateurs to compete. The problem was, it was all in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and we were in the middle (of nowhere). “Greg and I invited the leaders of area golf clubs to a meeting one night in January of 1981,” continued Ranck. “We decided initially to focus on the development of junior golf with the creation of the NCPGA

UNIVERSITY PARK — It is once again that time of the year. The Penn State Golf Courses Club Championship will be held this weekend. This year’s format will be individual stroke play. The course will be flighting players according to handicaps. The event starts on Aug. 4 with tee times beginning at 8 a.m. on the White Course. On Aug. 5, tee times will also begin at 8 a.m. on the Blue Course. The cost for this year’s Club Championship is $40. Carts will also be available at $10 per round. To register for the championship, please contact the golf shop at (814) 863-0257.

GOLF CONTEST LOOKS TO DECIDE LONGEST BALL HITTER “Who’s the Biggest Dog in Your Foursome?” That’s a question the Donald L Heiter Community Center in Lewisburg is asking area golfers in its promotional material for the Second annual “Be Part of Something Great” Long Drive Contest. Scheduled for 6 p.m. on Aug. 20 at the No. 15 tee of the Bucknell Golf Club, event coordinators hope to bring together the area’s biggest hitters to settle the question of who hits the longest ball for this unique fundraiser to benefit the Heiter Center in Lewisburg. Lewisburg’s Al Kline, Jr. was the winner last year, blasting a drive of 309 yards in the finals. As defending champion, he will automatically advance to the finals against what he hopes will be a field of strong challengers. Competition will be in three divisions for both men and women: An open division (eight finalists), senior division (Over 50, four finalists) and junior division (two finalists in each age group 15 to 18 and 14-and-under). “To enter, golfers are encouraged to identify fellow golfers who really hit a long ball,” explained Jeff Ranck, a co-chair of the event with, Dr. Gale Reish. “Each contestant must raise a minimum of $250 in sponsorship pledges from friends, family, fellow golfers and businesses. They don’t have to come up with the funds themselves but there is an incentive for the finalist that raises the most sponsorship dollars to benefit the Heiter Center Annual Fund. Whoever secures the most in sponsorship pledges (The Big Dog) will win a four-night, three-day golf vacation in Myrtle Beach for himself and three of his friends valued at $2,500.” Each challenger has to participate in one of six qualifying events to be held between July 30 and Aug. 8. Qualifying events will be held at Frosty Valley Country Club on Thursday, Shade Mountain Golf Course on Aug. 7 and White Deer Golf Course on Aug. 8. “Last year’s inaugural event was so much fun and was enjoyed by a lot of spectators,” Ranck said. “We are really excited about this year and hope that golfers really get behind their 'Big Dog' and try to win that trip to Myrtle Beach.” Ranck said that the Aug. 20 finals will be set up to accommodate spectators, complete with concessions and bleachers. Individual sponsors who pledged $1 per yard or more will have preferred seating at the finals. The deadline for entries is, Aug. 7, or the day before each qualifier.

NCPGA, from page 19 anybody else,” Ranck said. “Our member clubs sold the card for $10. It was sold to members of member clubs only and it entitled them to a complimentary green fee at each of the member clubs. The idea was to promote the health of our member clubs but providing an incentive to belong to one of them. The card was popular but it was a problem with some of the private clubs who didn't want ‘outsiders’ playing their course. “So in 1987, we found an alternative when Dean Knuth, then the director of handicapping at the USGA called me and told me that Arnie (Palmer) wanted his club (Latrobe) to go on the USGA GHIN Handicapping System (Golf Handicap and Information Network). The problem was, GHIN could only be provided by an authorized golf association and there were none in Pennsylvania at the time. Dean asked me how I would like to be Arnie's handicap guy. I said what do I have to do? I went to Golf House for some training and then we set Latrobe up on the GHIN system. It was the ‘paper’ option where the club mailed score sheets in to GHIN every two weeks and GHIN sent back handicap cards for all their members. “After doing it a year for Latrobe, I saw that we were making money doing this,” Ranck continued. “After paying GHIN their small fee, the NCPGA got to keep the difference of the individual handicap fee which was something like $6 per golfer per year. So we started promoting GHIN to our member clubs and eventually it replaced the ‘card’ as our source of revenue and part of our source of contention.” With that extra funding, the junior tour had its chance for survival. “The NCPGA junior tour was wildly successful,” said Ranck. “We grew in a short period of time to where we had 100 to 150 kids just show up on a Monday to play. It got to be unwieldy, but that's a problem we wished for. We eventually transitioned to where we hire a part-time executive director and required advanced entry and tee times so Mom's knew when to drop their kid off and when to pick them up. We focused on teaching the kids the rules and etiquette of the game and we gave them an opportunity to compete. Parents weren't involved much. They have a tendency to screw things up.” One member of the NCPGA junior tour that went on to bigger and better adventures in the game of golf was Jason Bohn of Lewisburg. “We produced some really good players, most notably PGA Tour player Jason Bohn,” stated Ranck. Our junior tour produced several PIAA State Champs including Shawn Duffy, Scott Shellenberger, T.J. Howe (Penn State)

and a couple of others whose names escape me off the top of my head. Numerous PGA head professionals came through our Junior Tour including the Kanaskie brothers. Ryan is the head pro at Lewistown and the Seth is the head professional at Eagles Mere.” The Kanaskie’s father is legendary wrestling coach Ron Kanaski of Danville, who is also the president of the Pennsylvania Coaches Wrestling Association. Bohn, a native of Lewisburg, while a sophomore on the Alabama golf team in 1992, was playing in a charity fundraiser in Tuscaloosa when he made a hole-in-one worth $1 million. Bohn dropped his amateur status and golf scholarship on the spot and turned professional. Bohn has two tour wins, the 2010 Zurich Classic of New Orleans and the 2005 B.C. Open and has won $9,607,802 on tour for his career through last Sunday when he finished runner-up in the True South Classic two strokes behind winner Scott Stallings. He graduated from Alabama in 1995. “In 1984 the NCPGA started a scholarship program,” Ranck said. “We used the funds from the sale of our GHIN card to fund the NCPGA Scholarship Trust since we weren't paying any body, all of our revenue went back into growing the game. We have awarded two $3,000 scholarships each year since 1984 to kids out of our junior program. Many have gone to Penn State.” Where does the fee go? “The $5 fee was for the kids to play the NCPGA Junior Tour and that got them into six tournaments,” explained Ranck. “We had hot dogs and soda donated so the kids got that at each event. We also gave out trophies to the winners back then. Several years ago, Jason Bohn came back to do a one-day clinic in Danville as part of the Geisinger Miracle Network Telethon. I went over to see his clinic one Monday morning and when he saw me he asked, ‘Mr. Ranck, does it still cost $5 to play the NCPGA Junior Tour?’ I said, it's $5 per event now Jason, which I think it was at the time. “Bohn said, ‘I bet I've told this story 100 times out on tour. When I was a kid, I paid 5 bucks for the whole summer to play in six tournaments. I played six different courses, I got six hot dogs, six cokes and six trophies, for five bucks! If it wasn't for the NCPGA Junior Tour, my brother and I would never have even played golf.” Original club members of the NCPGA were Bucknell, Shade Mountain, Lost Creek, Lewistown, Indian Hills, Susquehanna Valley Country Club, White Deer, Turbot Hills. Current member clubs are: Bucknell Golf Course, Lewisburg; Shade Mountain Golf Course, Middleburg;

The Glass Eye: Big deals at the trading deadline Tuesday was the trade deadline for Major League Baseball, and there was no shortage of big-name deals. We’ll break down the trades that should have the biggest impact on the playoff race, and of course we will pay special attention to the deals the Pirates pulled off. Please note that aside from Pittsburgh I’m not familiar with most of the prospects that got dealt, so I’m not evaluating who “won” Dave Glass is a the trades — only evalcolumnist for The uating how the penCentre County nant contenders were Gazette.

from Phillies for two prospects: The Ramirez deal could determine the National League West this season, as the Dodgers had been fading badly due to lack of offense … but still are tied for the division lead, because the Giants also have a poor offense. Ramirez had worn out his welcome in Miami and a lot of his ex-teammates were reportedly thrilled to see him go — add to that the fact that he hasn’t really hit in two years, and this deal is a risk for LA. To me, it’s a worthy risk because even with his reduced production he’s an upgrade for the Dodgers and the change of scenery may well spark him. Pennant race impact: 9/10. Victorino is another story — he’s having a down year in a hitter's ballpark, and his numbers figure to suffer from the move to Chavez Ravine. He’s a slight upgrade for the Dodgers but not a difference-maker unless he finds his 2008-11 form. Pennant race impact: 6/10. Giants acquire Hunter Pence from Phillies for three prospects: The Phillies have fortified both NL West rivals Tuesday, and while Pence isn’t a better hitter than

Victorino, he’s a much bigger upgrade for the Giants. Aside from Melky Cabrera, the San Francisco outfield has been a complete disaster offensively and while Pence is no star, he’s solidly above average, and provides power to a team that basically has none — a huge improvement for the Giants. If Posey and Cabrera keep raking, Pence gives them another solid core hitter for the stretch run. Pennant race impact: 8/10. Angels acquire Zack Grienke from Brewers for three prospects: I’m not really surprised by either side of this deal … Grienke is a free agent as season’s end, and it sounds like Milwaukee had given up hope of re-signing him. Getting three prospects for him as a two-month rental is a good return for the Brewers. The Angels have been among baseball’s hottest teams since early May (10-17 on May 4, 46-30 since) and are clearly in winnow mode. Adding Grienke to the rotation gives the Angels a top three (Grienke, C.J. Wilson, Jered Weaver) that can stack up with any team in the game. If the Angels can somehow catch the Rangers, they will be my favorite to win the American League. Pennant race impact: 8/10. Braves acquire Paul Maholm and OF Reed Johnson for two prospects: On paper this deal doesn’t look like much — Pirate fans are familiar with Maholm’s “crafty lefty” ways, and neither he nor Johnson are stars — but this is actually a very good deal for Atlanta. Their rotation is a mess after Hudson and Beachy and Maholm will provide consistent innings for them. Johnson is a very capable fourth outfielder who will be a good bat off the bench/sport starter for the Braves. With the Nationals still in range and the Braves currently tied for the wild card, this move makes a lot of sense for Atlanta. Pennant race impact: 7/10. Tigers acquire RHP Anibal Sanchez and 2B Omar Infante from Miami for prospects: Miami is in all-out fire sale mode (again), and the Tigers are trying to find a way to win the worst division in the majors. This deal should help the Tigers’ cause — Sanchez is no ace, but the Tigers desperately needed some rotation depth and Sanchez will give them that. Infante has been an above-average second-sacker the past few years but struggled with Miami this season — perhaps a return to

his former team will rejuvenate him. I think the Tigers wanted to make a bigger move, but their farm system is depleted and they may not have had the assets needed to make a “big splash.” I still believe, however, that the Tigers will catch the White Sox for the Central Division title. Pennant impact: 6.5/10. Rangers acquire Ryan Dempster from Cubs for prospects: Dempster is having a fine year — a career year, in fact, and that’s what makes me leery of this deal from the Rangers’ perspective. Dempster has 15 years of league average stats, including a pretty terrible 2011 — his walk and strikeout rates are around his career averages. I think he was a bit “hit lucky” through 16 starts, I believe he will regress during the last two months, and I don’t think he will be the upgrade the Rangers are expecting. Pennant race impact: 5.5/10. Pirates trade three prospects to Houston for LHP Wandy Rodriguez; trade RHP Brad Lincoln for OF Travis Snyder: The Rodriguez deal is very straightforward, three Grade ‘B’ prospects for a steady-yet-unspectacular left-handed starter. Rodriguez should represent an upgrade to the middle/back of the rotation, replacing Correia for now and possibly Bedard eventually — and he’s under contract through next season. None of the prospects given up figure to be stars, although I liked Rudy Owens’ potential as a third or fourth starter. Pennant race impact: 7/10 The Snider trade is far more bold — both Snider and Lincoln were first-round draft picks in 2006, both struggled for years, and while Lincoln has found bullpen success in 2012, Snider still has the higher upside. If Snider finally puts it together — and I’ll grant you that’s a big if — he can be a 25-30 homer guy who plays a better outfield than Garrett Jones. If Lincoln was not going to develop into a starter — and I think that’s likely — this was probably a worthwhile gamble for the Pirates. One thing general manager Neal Huntingdon has shown is that he can build very good bullpens, so as much as I hate to lose Lincoln I’m confident the Pirates will be able to replace him. If Snider hits, this is a great deal for the Pirates. Pennant race impact: This is hard to call, because Snider is such an unknown at this point — but if he hits, it will be huge. I’ll say 6/10 for now.

One of the summer’s most highly anticipated movies is “The Dark Knight Rises,” which brings Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy to a resounding conclusion. The movie brings a definite and satisfying end to the story of Bruce Wayne although it does take the better part of three hours to accomplish this. (A word of caution, if you have not yet seen the movie beware of talking with those who have seen it as there are three or four significant plot twists in the film’s last 20 minutes.) “The Dark Knight Rises” picks up eight years after the end of “The Dark Knight” and the Batman has disappeared after taking the blame for a series of murders in order to save the city from despair. During this time Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) has become a recluse who seemingly has no will to live separate from the Batman, whose services, it would appear, are no longer needed by Gotham City. A mysterious cat burglar, Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway), draws Wayne slowly out of his shell just in time for the resurrected Batman to face a new masked uber-terrorist named Bane (Tom Hardy). Bane launches an all-out attack on Gotham as well as a very personal assault on the Batman. Rounding out the stunning cast of good guys are Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman, returning as Alfred, Lucius Fox and Commissioner Gordon,

respectively. New cast members include Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake, a young and idealistic cop, and Marion Cotillard as businesswoman Miranda Tate, both of whom have crucial roles to play in the movies finale. By the way, if the firm of Cotillard, Levitt, Caine and Bale seem familiar that’s because you saw them together in the movie “Inception.” “The Dark Knight Rises” is equipped with a great many strengths and more gadgets than three Bond movies. The actors are all at the top of their game and the rolling plot keeps movie viewers on the edge of their seat through every minute. Also noteworthy is the film’s sense of finality, which is unique since it was undoubtedly very tempting for Warner Brothers to extend the story indefinitely such as with the Bond franchise. The film has few flaws and even they do not overly distract the viewer — unless you go back later and think about them. The character of Alfred is somewhat underused in this film with the result that is feels like his character is not important; this may be due to runtime concerns. (The movie is almost three hours long as it is.) Another fly in the ointment lies

with the film’s villain. As a result of an injury Bane must wear a mask that is supposed to be intimidating but often merely serves to make his voice incoherent. A foreign accent plus a Darth Vader voice box equals are hard-to-understand villain. And an incoherent villain just isn’t as frightening as one that you very clearly understand. These flaws do little to detract from the movie-going experience and “The Dark Knight Rises” stays one of the summer’s — if not the year’s — best movies. Parents should know that the movie is rated PG-13 and contains considerable bloodless action violence including gunfire, explosions and the breaking of backs and necks. There is also a discrete post-coital fireside scene. “The Dark Knight Rises” is currently showing at the Premiere Theatre College 9 and Premiere Theatre 12 in State College, the Clifton 5 in Huntingdon and Miller Cinemas 6 in Lewistown.

Penn State trustees approve 2012-13 budget From Gazette staff reports DUNMORE — Penn State’s Board of Trustees recently approved a $4.26 billion University operating budget for 2012-13. The budget includes a $279 million appropriation from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, representing no change from 2011-12. “Through the support of many members of the House and Senate who value the partnership between the Commonwealth and the state’s public and state-related higher education institutions, the proposed $64.2 million cut to Penn State’s General Support line has been fully restored,” said Penn State President Rodney Erickson. “I would like to publicly thank the governor and members of the General Assembly who coalesced to support public higher education.” Agricultural research and Cooperative Extension have received flat appropriations of $44.7 million. Because these activities are not supplemented with tuition, inflationary costs will require additional program reductions. “Dean McPheron and his leadership team in the College of Agricultural Sciences have worked tirelessly to adjust to the $10.5 million in reduced support from the Commonwealth in 2011-12. Stable funding from the state included in the

2012-13 budget will require additional program reductions in these two line items to free up the necessary funds for inflationary increases for salaries and benefits,” Erickson said. The 2012-13 budget for Penn College, a wholly owned subsidiary of Penn State based in Williamsport, will see a decrease of $2.9 million as a result of expense reductions and lower than expected research expenditures. This will bring its total budget to $138 million. The Commonwealth’s appropriation to Penn College remains at the 2011-12 level of $13.6 million. The overall appropriation is equal to 1995 levels, when the University educated 20,000 fewer students. Erickson said the increase in the number of students being educated, combined with the slow pace of the economic recovery, continues to present challenges. In addition, the University is facing unavoidable increases in major cost-drivers, such as employee health care, retirement contributions and energy. To meet those challenges, Penn State has continued its cost-cutting initiatives, which over the last two decades have trimmed $232.7 million in recurring costs from the University’s operating budget. Most recently more than $20 million was identified in recurring cost savings for the University through the Core Council process. The Core Council, a group of 13

administrators and faculty, was charged with enhancing efficiency, reducing redundancy and exploring opportunities for new revenue generation across the University. “Through the hard work of those involved in assembling this plan, and the contributions and support of everyone in the Penn State community, I am able to present a budget to you today that is balanced, provides for basic operating cost increases, and holds the tuition increases to an amount that is less than the change in the Consumer Price Index and represents the lowest rate of tuition increase since 1967,” said Erickson. The budget sets an aggregate lower-division undergraduate tuition increase of 2.4 percent, or an average of $393 per academic year. Tuition will increase 1.9 percent for resident and non-resident lowerdivision students at Commonwealth Campuses; 2.4 percent for non-resident, lowerdivision University Park students; and 2.9 percent for resident lower-division University Park students. This tuition increase was enabled by aggressive expense control and continued

strong enrollments across the University. See http://live.psu.edu/ story/60359 for more on tuition. The operating budget plan is guided by several priorities. “Chief among those priorities was to keep tuition increases at the lowest possible level,” Erickson told trustees. Erickson said $28 million in budget reductions and targeted expense cuts were incorporated into the budget plan before tuition increases were considered. “These budget reductions are not one-time expense cuts; they are cuts in recurring costs that lower budgeted expenses for this year and future years,” he said. Erickson’s budget presentation to the Board of Trustees will be posted to http://budget.psu.edu/ in the near future.

Are you over communicating to employees? DAVID M. MASTOVICH

David M. Mastovich is president of MASSolutions Inc. For more information, go to massolutions.biz.

Organizations large and small spend a great deal of time trying to reach and influence potential customers. In order to meet or exceed their expectations, employees must deliver a quality product or service while living the company’s core values. Yet how much time is spent making sure employees understand what the company is striving to achieve? I’m not talking about the mission statement posted on a wall, although I’m guessing many em-

ployees couldn’t recite that either. Does your company clearly communicate core values, strategies and goals throughout the organization? Better still, are you over communicating to your employees? If not, here’s how you can do it: 1. Develop simple key messages — Decide what to communicate on a regular basis. Some messages are constant and based on company values. Others arise during the course of doing business. Both types need to be clear, simple and easy to remember. Clarity and brevity are not mutually exclusive. Tweeting and texting are popular communication vehicles because we can stay updated quickly and easily. 2. Tell your story again and again — Senior leaders and middle managers often think repeating a message questions the intelligence of their employees and is a waste of time. This couldn’t be further from the truth. We all process information differently and are inundated with mes-

will be conveyed to everyone. Don’t take that chance. Communicate up, down and around the organization to ensure your key messages reach the entire team. 5. Find out what they think the key messages are — Once you’ve done the first four steps, you need to find out how well it’s working. Ask multiple people to tell you what they think the key messages are. Be ready for some surprises. Take what you learn and tweak the process where appropriate. Improving internal communication will increase productivity, enhance your customer experience and impact the bottom line. Start over communicating today. Learn how MASSolutions can help you over communicate to your employees.

sages in our personal and professional lives. We need repetition of message. Try asking three different people what they remember from a discussion and you’ll see how valuable repetition of message is. 3. Use multiple vehicles — Some people read emails, others scan or have a cluttered inbox. Some people take notes at meetings, others don’t. Some see those posters on the wall, others ignore them. Just as successful advertising campaigns utilize multiple mediums like TV, billboards, social and direct marketing, internal communication must use multiple vehicles as well. 4. Communicate up, down and all around — Senior leaders hope if middle management hears or reads a message, it
