‘Together We Are One’ campaign kicks off By MARJORIE S. MILLER mmiller@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — A new community campaign dedicated to building a better future for Penn State and State College launched this week. “Together We Are One” consists of people with ties to the community of State College and
to Penn State who, through specific actions, aim to prove that the State College community and Penn State fully understand the past, and are dedicated to building a better future because of it, according to David Nevins, who helped spearhead the movement. “(The campaign) is a call to action and an invitation to the entire nation to hear our story
Girl, 12, aids abuse victims By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Over the past 10 months, there have been plenty of dark clouds hovering above Happy Valley. Occasionally, there has been a silver lining among the clouds. Kelsey Hirsch is one of those bright spots. Hirsch, who resides in the small town of Schwenksville, has designed a bracelet that raises funds for RAINN, the Photo provided Rape, Abuse and BANDING TOGETHER: Incest National Network. To date, Kelsey Hirsch with her Hirsch’s bracelet brother, Devon. has raised more than $12,000. By the way, Hirsch is 12 years old. “It’s been amazing,” Kelsey said of her journey, which has landed her on talk shows and in front of television cameras. “I’m really

and visit our community and campus; a town and university filled with natural beauty and an indomitable spirit,” Nevins said. “By embracing this moment within our collective history, ‘Together We Are One’ will define the future for our community,” Nevins said, “based on strong principles and determined action.”
Nevins, a Penn State graduate, said signs will be posted throughout town announcing the new campaign, such as the one hanging over College Avenue. The committee is asking for support in showing the rest of the world what Penn State, State College and Centre County are all about. “And with that sense of enthusiasm for the past and the future,
I ask … everyone (to help) us get the message out, through this town and throughout this great country that we are and we always will be proud of our town, our community and our university,” he said. The initiative, CBICC President Vern Squier added, “is proof that this community is committed to becoming an even better place.”
Grange Fair celebrates 138 years By SAMI HULINGS For The Gazette
CENTRE HALL — For 138 years, the Centre County Grange and Encampment Fair has combined tradition with community, creating a fair experience like no other. Known as “the nation’s most unique county fair,” the Grange Fair comes to life as campers move into Grange Park for the week. As the tent poles are pounded into the ground and RVs are parked, food and games vendors set up their booths for a week full of live entertainment and traditional fair competitions. As a volunteer at the Pets Come First booth, Kristi Sellers worked to promote the new SPCA to fair visitors. Sellers, of Julian, said the booth had been very busy throughout the day, as many fairgoers showed interest in helping the shelter through donations and adoptions. In between volunteering, Sellers said she still found time to enjoy the fair. “I always like walking through where all the booths are — where people are sell-

But what she enjoys most is the atmosphere of the fair, which she attributes to the tent community. “It seems like there’s fami-
ly tradition that gets handed on and the spot gets handed down,” she said. “I think that is neat.” Like Sellers, massage therapist Angie Toccket divided her time between working a booth and enjoying the fair.
As the owner of Angelina’s Invigorating Hour, Toccket has offered chair massages to fair visitors for the last 12 years. “When I first started doing

Tavern blends tradition with innovation By TRACEY M. DOOMS For the Gazette
STATE COLLEGE — For 63 years, The Tavern served dinner — and only dinner. The construction of an outdoor seating area changed that. “We were working on that patio, and people would walk by and say this would be a great place to eat lunch,” said owner Pat Daugherty. Last August, the restaurant began serving food from 11:30 to 3 — both indoors and out — feaMAUREEN LOCKARD/The Gazette turing a new sandwich and
salad menu. The next major change was the addition of Sunday brunch, beginning last Easter. Coming soon is a new latenight snack menu, along with specials and happy hours at the adjacent Adam’s Apple bar. “We’re trying to reach out to more people who might like us for different reasons,” Daugherty said of his “contemporary classic” restaurant. That’s in addition to the traditional reasons for liking The Tavern, which opened in 1948. The dinner menu

AUGUST 30-SEPTEMBER 5, 2012 Grange Fair, from page 1 this fair, people told me it was the ‘Strange Fair’ because you don’t experience anything like this because of the campers. That’s unusual because this is the last fair that does that in the United States,� she said. One such camper who helps to make the fair unique is Danny Walker, of Lock Haven. Since 1914, members of Walker’s family have resided in the community of canvas tents during the last week of August. “We’ve had a tent ever since then. It’s been handed down from generation to generation,� he said. Walker, a retiree of Cerro Metal in Bellefonte, now shares the tent space with his brother, Jerry. Because they share the space, each brother spends every other year in the tent.
$100
As their family registered for the space years ago, neither has to worry about re-registering. Because the fair provides the canvas tents used, Walker and his brother simply need to pay annual tent rent to secure their address at 6L Grange Avenue. This continued renewal has allowed Walker to gather and keep furniture that is only used for the Grange Fair. This includes Aerobeds, a chest of drawers and a water cooler. Over the years, updates to the tent area have allowed Walker to bring a small refrigerator, hot plate, coffee pot and microwave. But when Walker first attended the fair as a child, things weren’t always as simple as plugging in a refrigerator. “Back years ago, when I first started coming, we used an ice box or an ice chest. We would carry a block of ice down and put

in that, and it kept your milk and eggs,� he said. Walker believes these updates have helped to make the camping area grow. Today more than 950 tents and 1,500 RV trailers are on the grounds during the week of the fair. This growth is one of the biggest changes Walker has noticed since he began attending the fair more than 60 years ago. His wife Sandy noted that another huge change is the flushing bathrooms and showers. “Years ago it was just the old outhouse. We washed in a basin,� she said. Both Walker and his wife agree that the bathroom additions have helped to make the week at the Grange Fair a bit easier. It allows them to focus on relaxation and the friendships they have with neighbors even more. “Since everybody is friendly, it

SCASD talks architect contract, education planner By LAURA NICHOLS StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — On the eve of the first day of the State College Area School District’s 2012-13 year, the Board of Directors met for their regular meeting to discuss future projects and hear status updates. Ed Poprik, Director of the Office of Physical Plant, presented a draft of the contract with the company that could become State High’s architect. Monday night’s meeting was informational only and open for discussion. A final draft will be presented to the board for final approval at a later date. Crabtree, Rohrbaugh & Associates, a Mechanicsburgbased architectural firm, would take on the proposed projects for State High, a building long having needed necessary renovations. All projects are at the discretion of the board and are approved and assigned by the board of directors. Some of the focus during the discussion and information session of the board’s meeting regarded the importance of the district’s hiring of an Educational Planner. Assistant Superintendent Mike Hardy explained the selection process to the board and said three firms completed Educational Planner presentations and interviews. Each firm was selected after their requests for proposals were reviewed and moved to the next phase. The three firms interviewed were Brain Spaces, Inc., Frank Locker Educational Planning and Fanning Howey. In his presentation to the board, Hardy laid out a timeline as follows: “Given the vast amount of information that has been submitted via request for proposals and the interview process, we believe it is in the best interest of the district that we allocate additional time to allow all members of both interview teams to fully process and analyze the information presented.

“We are in the process of checking references for all potential firms. Once we have thoroughly reviewed all the information and gathered additional feedback from the interview teams, we will bring forward a recommendation to the Board.” An Educational Planner is integral to the positive forward movement of the renovation projects the district could take on because someone in that position will integrate his or her research and experience with the needs of the school and what’s best for the students that will lend to a “successful product that will best serve the needs to the community,” Hardy said. With an Educational Planner on board, there will be no idea left unconsidered. The Educational Planner will come equipped with three crucial skill sets, Hardy said, among many skills: ■ They understand education ■ They are architects themselves, so have an excellent understanding of the project ■ They are able to collaborate and facilitate communication Poprik also gave an update on the College Heights Building. He presented the following to the board: “As design work begins on a Panorama Village Building phased renovation, the Board should begin to consider options for the disposition of the College Heights Building. Presumably, this building would no longer be needed at the completion of the first phase of the Panorama Village project. Proceeds from a sale of the College Heights Building could be used to help offset costs of the Panorama Village conversion. Administration intends to pursue an independent appraisal of the College Heights Building to help advise future deliberations on these issues.” Currently, there are some preliminary discussions going on with members of the community who have expressed interest in the building. Talks are in the early stage and the board will eventually move forward with a formal appraisal. The board wrapped up and adjourned to an executive session around 8:30 p.m. Monday night, the meeting moving quickly over the course of an hour with the first day of school quickly approaching.

Celebrating 10 Years of Success with Honor
AUGUST 30-SEPTEMBER 5, 2012 RAINN, from page 1 proud of what I’ve been able to do.” Kelsey is the daughter of two Penn State graduates. When the news of the Penn State sex abuse scandal first broke, her parents sat her down and tried to explain what was happening in State College. “When the Sandusky scandal broke, my wife and I spoke with her and her little brother to be sure that no one else gave them bad info,” Charles Hirsch explained. “We also wanted them to feel free to ask questions. Kelsey’s question was, ‘How can we help the kids?’” As part of her Bat Mitzvah project, Kelsey began designing the bracelet, Bands4RAINN. The bracelet is blue and white and features the RAINN slogan, “Hope. Courage. Strength.” The bracelets are intended to show solidarity and support for victims of abuse. Charles fronted the money for the first batch of bracelets. After that, the project took on a life of its own. “She started with a modest goal, then it grew to $1,000, then $5,000,” Charles explained. “There’s been a great response. She raised almost $12,000 to date and the Penn State and RAINN communities have been very supportive.” The Hirsch’s made the trip to Happy Valley for the annual Blue-White Game in April and set up shop outside Beaver Stadium. “Penn State worked with us and helped us get the word out about Bands4RAINN,” Charles said. “We had a lot of people coming up to us that day. When Franco Harris stopped by and made a nice donation, we knew it was taking off.” They raised $2,000 that day. Hirsch said that 100 percent of the proceeds from the sale of Bands4RAINN go to the charity. “They’ve used the money to help fund online resources for victims of abuse,” Charles said. “They have seen a 47 percent increase in demand since the Sandusky scandal broke.” RAINN has assisted the Hirsch’s in the sale of the bracelets. The bracelets are available at the RAINN website at www.rainn.org. They’re also available at Student Book Store in downtown State College. The Hirsch’s won’t be at the season opener on Saturday. The family is in the process of moving to Georgia. However, just because they’re leaving the Keystone State doesn’t mean that the mission is over. In fact, Kelsey said that she will continue to help RAINN no matter where she lives. “When I started this, no one believed that I could do it. For awhile, I didn’t believe it,” she said. “But I think everyone believes now.”

STATE COLLEGE — A Penn State student who went missing more than a week ago, Jesse McMillen, was located in Missouri by the Springfield Police Department on Tuesday. McMillen, 21, was staying with a Springfield resident when he was found, State College Police said in a news release Wednesday morning. McMillen’s roommate reported him missing on Aug. 18, telling police that McMillen was looking for a place to rent and was supposed to have looked at a camping trailer somewhere in the Belle-
fonte area. Police discovered he was supposedly on his way to Pittsburgh to see a friend via Ebensburg, but was never seen in Pittsburgh after telling his alleged plan to a desk clerk at the Red Carpet Inn in Ebensburg. Before Missouri police located him, McMillen was spotted in Bridgeport, W.Va., at exit 124 of I-79 sometime around 4:45 p.m. Aug. 20. He was carrying a cardboard sign. Police asked for the public’s help and McMillen has been entered in the nationwide computer database as a missing person. Police did not say if McMillen would return to State College.

Prayer vigil set for Friday By MARJORIE S. MILLER mmiller@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — One State College resident knows now is the time for Happy Valley to move forward in light of recent happenings, and he’s inviting the community to join. Taking into consideration the Jerry Sandusky trial, the NCAA’s sanctions against Penn State, and all the negative talk surrounding the university, Vaughn Wilson decided it was time to “do something to reach out.� So with the help of two Christian-based groups, Face 2 Face and the Faith Movement, he’s holding a prayer vigil to give the community a chance to “speak out� and “speak loud.� The “PSU White Out Prayer Vigil� will be held beginning at 9:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 31, at the Old Main lawn on Penn State’s campus. The event will feature musical entertainment by Tabby Emel and Allan Scott, a tribute painting by local artist Josh Deutsch, and a prayer by Pastor Mitch Smith of Christ Community Church. Wilson, a Lock Haven graduate who also took classes at Penn State, decided it was “time to move forward� to show others that the Penn State community is “strong and united.� The vigil is open to everyone in the community, Wilson said, “because we’ve all been affected by this.�
The purpose, he said, is to “stand strong and united and just (be) really ready to move forward this year.� Wilson is hoping to “pack the Old Main lawn,� he said, and would like to see some 1,000 attendees. The event, which is free, has gotten a good response so far through its website and Facebook page, he said. Wilson said he believes an important part of the prayer vigil is to encourage the students. “This is their university,� he said, and it’s important to understand that the “choices of a few impact many.� Wilson said he wants to encourage students and the university to make good decisions. There’s a lot of strong and positive history connected to Penn State, he said, and it’s time to “take it back.� “Now we’re trying to move forward and it’s going to take the community and the students,� Wilson said. “We just really want everyone to come out and come together,� he said. “It’s going to be a really great event.� Wilson said the art done by Deutsch will be donated to Penn State, and students who attend the vigil will have a chance to sign it. Wilson said the painting would likely be symbolic of football and the community. “It’s really breathtaking, some of the stuff (he’s done),� Wilson said, referring to Deutsch’s previous work. The vigil Facebook page is under the name of “PSU White Out Prayer Vigil.� The website can be reached at http://whiteoutprayervigil2012.weebly.com.

It’s a place where people celebrate promotions, anniversaries, etcetera.� Many out-of-town patrons return to the restaurant each year on home football Saturdays. The Tavern’s own history dates to 1948, when two World War II veterans studying at Penn State on the GI Bill opened the restaurant, seating diners at tables and chairs borrowed from a fraternity house. The servers were Penn State students, and most still are. “We’re proud of the kids,� Daugherty said of the servers, who have included Penn State Thon overall chairmen and at least one Nittany Lion mascot. “They work hard while they’re here.� Daugherty himself was a Tavern waiter while studying civil engineering. He worked in that field until 1980, when he bought the restaurant with Bill Tucker; Tucker retired in 1987 and remained an adviser until his death in 1995.

Armstrong’s ride ends on low note By DALE McFEATTERS Scripps Howard News Service
The decision of cyclist Lance Armstrong not to further contest doping charges against him and the decision of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency to strip him of his seven Tour de France titles, won in the sports’ most prestigious event, leaves behind a sad, sour taste. He said he was weary of battling the never-ending doping allegations: “There comes a time in every man’s life when he has to say, ‘Enough is enough.’ For me, that time is now.” He declined to pursue the next step, arbitration, an evidentiary proceeding with witnesses, including some of his former teammates. The USADA said Armstrong did so because he knew he would lose, and took his decision not to challenge the proceedings as an admission of guilt. The agency took away his titles and banned him from the sport for life. Cycling has been rife with doping scandals, perhaps more than any other sport, but Armstrong passed every doping test he was administered. And then there was the delay. Armstrong had retired; he was out of the sport. Where were the authorities at the time all these offenses were alleged to have taken place? Armstrong challenged the arbitration proceeding in federal court. A judge approved the arbitration, nonetheless noting that “USADA’s conduct raises serious questions” about its real interest in pursuing Armstrong. Still, the USADA outlined a formidable case against Armstrong. Armstrong was, and, in many ways still is, an inspiring story. He came back from a near-fatal bout with testicular cancer to win those seven titles and begin a cancer awareness foundation that has raised nearly $500 million. This is an unhappy story all the way around, but, contrary to F. Scott Fitzgerald, American lives do have second acts. Perhaps Armstrong’s will be a happier and demonstrably drug-free one.

Campaign cash pollutes system WASHINGTON — There is a distinct smell of immorality about our national elections. You can spell that odor M-O-N-E-Y. The humorist Will Rogers once said the American Congress is the best that money can buy. The current campaign should dispel any notion that he was wrong, except he should have included the presidency and, of course, the governorships. So much cash is available that Dan K. Thomasson TV operators are is a columnist for running out of Scripps-Howard time slots to sell. News Service. Candidates and their supporters in so-called super PACS are pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into key U.S. House and Senate races in an effort to sustain their points of view and protect their special interests. President Barack Obama and presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney are expected to spend more than $2 billion combined to secure what most sane men and women consider the worst job in the world. A tsunami of “filthy lucre” is coming in from everywhere. A big casino operator recently pledged $100 million for the Romney campaign and
DAN K. THOMASSON
donors on Obama’s side probably will equal that. We could take a hunk out of the notorious national debt with what is being made available for campaigns, including by a lot of those who have been loudly decrying our profligate spending. A friend recently related an invitation to sit down in a small gathering with the president. Asked what the price would be, he was told $35,000. He declined the offer. Obama reportedly picked up more than $1 million in another quick visit and was back in the White House in an hour. Where in the world does all this money come from? While the list of billionaires has grown substantially, there can’t be that many willing to throw money into the political maelstrom with no charitable tax benefit. Or can there be? Senate and House races are chockablock with outside money from influence seekers. Those who contend they know how to fix the unemployment dilemma think nothing of raising and spending more for the privilege of office than most of the electorate will earn in a lifetime. What is wrong with that picture? More seriously, what does it say about corrupting influences? Does anyone think for a moment that those pouring such huge amounts into the campaign troughs want nothing in return but good government? If you’re among those who assign no ulterior motive to such generosity, the pumpkin truck you rode into town on must have been pretty un-
comfortable. That is, if you didn’t come from the drought-stricken Midwest, where your livelihood most certainly has been retarded lately by a lack of marketable produce. If that’s the case, you should run for public office. Perhaps you could skim enough off the top to help you through the drought. Frighteningly, there seems to be no limit on the amount of money that can be thrown into this bubbling pot poisoning the political system and creating an atmosphere of special-interest pre-eminence as never in our history. To paraphrase the brilliant folk balladeer John Prine, the gold has run through their veins like a thousand railroad trains. Is that too harsh an assessment? I hardly think so. Guess how this debilitates the selection process. For instance, it hasn’t been lost on those seeking the White House or any other office that the gun lobby cost Albert Gore his election to the top job in 2000 by pouring money and effort into convincing Tennessee voters he would take away their constitutional rights to bear arms. Had he won his home state, Florida wouldn’t have mattered. If ever we needed to limit the amount spent on election to public office, it is now. The immorality and corrupting influence of all this cash is pervasive and a blot on our system. The winner may not be the most qualified, just the one who can raise the most money.
U.S. fast food invades Baghdad Scripps Howard News Service Forget the lofty ideals that President George W. Bush invoked as rationale for his invasion of Iraq. The United States’ most lasting legacy to that ancient land may be fast food. According to the Associated Press, the residents of Baghdad can now enjoy pizza, milkshakes, chili-cheese dogs, hot wings, Philly cheesesteaks and oversize hamburgers served in restaurants with vaguely familiarsounding names: Pizza Pizza, Burger Joint, Mr. Potato and Burger Friends. One fried-chicken restaurant, KFG, is admittedly a knockoff of KFC, although the owner says the initials stand for Kentucky Family Groups. Indeed, “Kentucky” has become the generic name for American-style fried chicken, which Iraqis pack away
by the bucketload. A Turkish firm plans to open a chain of sandwich shops called Subz. There were American fast-food places in Iraq during the U.S. occupation — Subway, Burger King, Pizza Hut — but they were on heavily fortified bases inaccessible to ordinary Iraqis. When the American troops left, so did the franchises. Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken is the only American franchise left in Baghdad, the AP said. But the U.S. left behind a taste for half-pounders with cheese, and extra-spicy chicken. Local entrepreneurs and investors from neighboring nations have moved in to fill that craving. A Baghdad physician, Dr. Sarmad Hamid, worried that the U.S.-style restaurants “will make Iraqis, especially children, fatter.” But, he said,
“People might benefit psychologically by sitting down in a quiet, clean and relatively fancy place with their families, away from the chaos in Iraqi cities.” The restaurants, for which patrons dress up to visit, testify to a return to something like normal. There’s still some risk, but at the height of the terror campaign any place that attracted a crowd — especially one with American associations — was a likely target for bombing. Even the owners of traditional Iraqi restaurants, such as the ones specializing in roasted carp, welcome the competition. Said one owner: “Sometimes we need ‘Kentucky.’ Not just fish, fish, fish.” The patrons of any American strip mall would certainly agree.

HEALTH & WELLNESS Vaccinations: Create open discussions with It’s back to school for our kids and I am sure you, like me, have been inundated with vaccination reminders, notices and demands. Please let me make very clear — I am not anti-vaccine. I am against dirty vaccines — those that continue to contain heavy metals. I am against quickto-market release of new vaccines — those that are created and not tested adequately prior to injecting them into children, adults and the elderly. I do not like mixed vaccinations. By design vaccines are constructed to Julie A. Wilczynski “stimulate” the imis a traditional mune system by intronaturopath, counselor of natural ducing a disease into health, certified nu- the bloodstream. Btritional consultcells are stimulated ant, certified perinto action, creating sonal trainer, and antibodies and a memyoga and Pilates inory record of the structor. pathogen, resulting in immunity. There are children on the autism spectrum and those who already have compromised immune systems. Why encourage irritating it with multiple vaccines on such a frequent basis? But most importantly, I am very against these timelines that conventional medical doctors put our children on for vaccinations schedules. We are vaccinating them too fast — too soon — with too many injections. In 1983, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention required 10 vaccinations for children through age 5. Today the requirement for children of the same age group is 36 vaccinations. American children get six or seven different vaccines simultaneously at two-, four-, sixand 12-month doctor appointments. That being said, you understanding how I feel about the schedules and dirty vaccines and vaccine combinations, I would like to share with you ways to keep lines of communication open with your child’s primary care provider when you do choose to vaccinate your child. ■ Ask to read the vaccine insert prior to your child’s scheduled appointment. This will give you time to read and understand the benefits and the risks and time to ask questions. ■ Make sure your child is not currently under immune stress when receiving vaccinations. The vaccinations themselves are
JULIE A. WILCZYNSKI
designed to stimulate an immune response, if you are already immune stressed, you don’t need to further aggravate that body system. ■ Ask your child’s primary care physician if the vaccine is mercury- and thimerosol-free and if it is a combined vaccination ask if a single immunization may be administered. ■ Keep lines of communication open with your physician and ask if the schedule for vaccinations can be stretched out in order to give your child time to recover and build a healthy immune system between vaccinations and prior to the next vaccination. If after vaccination you are concerned about detox methods, here are some tips: ■ There are several different brands of homeopathic heavy metal detox drops that can be used to help eliminate the reactions. ■ Raw garlic, oregano oil, grapefruit seed extract — anti-viral that feed the immune system. ■ Graviola — kills viruses, parasites, bacteria, reduces fever ■ Horse chestnut herb — cleans and flushes out the blood stream ■ Raw fruits and vegetables are fast to aid in the elimination of mucous from the body and speed detox; also aids in balancing the body’s pH to a more alkaline state. I have a 9 Day Detox on my website — thoroughly explaining the steps necessary to complete a nutritional cleanse. ■ Drink plenty of pure/clean water — assisting in releasing toxins from the fluid zones of the body. ■ Raw honey — has anti-viral properties. ■ Activated charcoal — sponges up much of the mercury; raw apples and raw nuts are also beneficial in helping with metal detox, as is cilantro and chlorella (cilantro and chlorella must be taken with algin for best success of mercury removal). ■ Large quantities of natural source vitamin C with bioflavinoids — aids in the detoxification of the liver, kidneys and intestinal tract. If you chose not to vaccinate your child and he or she is attending a local public school where the requirements lead you to believe you must vaccinate, please know that you are legally allowed to waive required vaccinations for your child. If you do not want to have your child vaccinated, by Pennsylvania law you don’t have to. If you need assistance composing a waiver letter please feel free to contact me at JulieAW@ zoominternet.net or (724) 4078017.
Red Cross seeks holiday donations to boost inventories From Gazette staff reports Planning to fire up the charcoal grill this Labor Day weekend? How about wearing a charcoal gray T-shirt to match? Those who donate blood with the American Red Cross Aug. 30 through Sept. 2 will receive a charcoal Red Cross T-shirt, while supplies last. The American Red Cross continues to face a critical need for blood donations as summer winds down and the Labor Day holiday approaches.
Although an emergency appeal for donors in early summer temporarily stopped a decline in donations, results from July show that Red Cross blood donations for the month were the lowest they had been since 1996. In fact, blood donations through the Red Cross hit a 15-year low earlier this summer. Platelet donors at the Red Cross donation centers in Altoona, Beaver, Greensburg, Johnstown and State College will receive a navy T-shirt, while supplies last, from Aug. 30 through Sept. 3.
Glaucoma: The silent thief Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in America. Half of Americans living with glaucoma do not know that they have this visionthreatening eye disease. Some types of glaucoma steal your vision through gradual damage to the optic nerve. Other types of glaucoma cause rapid damage and vision loss. Once this damage to the optic nerve has occurred, your vision cannot be restored. However, with early diagnosis and treatment, your vision can be preserved. Jill R. Finke is a Glaucoma is a Doctor of Optomegroup of eye disorders try at Heimer Eye that causes damage to Care Associates in the optic nerve. This State College. optic nerve of the eye is like a cable that carries information from the eye to the brain. When the cable is damaged, your vision will be affected. The most common form of glaucoma is called primary open-angle glaucoma. This type of glaucoma causes gradual damage to the optic nerve from increasing eye pressure. Eye pressure can also rise gradually due to injuries, inflammation, or due to other eye diseases. This raised pressure occurs when the fluid normally produced within the eye does not drain out of the eye as well as it should. When the normal fluid inside the eye is unable to drain, the increasing pressure leads to damage of the optic nerve. You are unable to feel this gradual rise of pressure within the eye, and the resulting damage to the optic nerve occurs very slowly. As a result, early in the disease, you
JILL R. FINKE
may not be able to detect the vision loss in your day-to-day activities. As glaucoma worsens, the loss of your peripheral vision can create vision that feels like you are looking at the world through a tunnel. This tunnel vision gradually constricts to block out more and more of your peripheral vision. The vision loss that occurs from advanced glaucoma results in severe tunnel vision and sometimes complete blindness. There is no available cure for this type of glaucoma, and no known prevention. If you are diagnosed with glaucoma, you may be prescribed eye drop medication to slow or prevent further vision loss. Or you may need eye surgery. Only your eye care professional can determine which course of treatment is the best for you. Acute glaucoma, on the other hand, is due to a sudden increase in eye pressure. This sudden change often does produce symptoms. Most people with acute glaucoma know something is wrong. You may feel eye or head pain or pressure, light sensitivity, nausea, and you may have a red eye, decreased vision, or halos around lights. The treatment for this glaucoma is often eye drop medications and surgery. In the case of acute glaucoma, emergency treatment is recommended to prevent sudden and irreversible vision loss. Your risk of developing all types of glaucoma can be evaluated at an eye examination. Following your examination, your eye care professional will recommend when to schedule your next exam based on your health and risk factors. If it has been a few years since your last examination, this is the time to schedule your appointment and protect your sight. To learn more about glaucoma and other eye diseases, please visit geteyesmart.org or make an appointment to discuss your questions with your eye care provider.

History comes alive at Grange Fair By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
CENTRE HALL — This year’s Grange Fair wasn’t all about food, rides, tents and exhibits. It was also about history. On Aug. 26, the 148th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Company C, Civil War reenactment group celebrated the 150th anniversary of the mustering in of Centre County soldiers. The group set up a Civil War army recruiting tent near the fair administration building, and presented the School of the Soldier for the public in the grandstand. The School of the Soldier was led by reenactor David Felice, who described in detail the soldiers’ uniforms, weapons, and the history of the 148th Regiment. Men of the 148th were mustered into the regiment on Aug. 27, 1862 in Bellefonte. They were taken by wagons to Lewistown, where they boarded a train for Harrisburg. The train took them to Camp Curtin for basic training. They became part of the second corps of the Army of the Potomac in December of 1862. The 148th saw duty guarding the North Central Railroad during the battle of Antiedam. They fought in the battle of Chancellorsville, and fought two days in the battle of Gettysburg. The regiment produced four Medal of Honor winners. “That’s extremely high for one unit,� said Felice.
Addressing the crowd, he said: “You can be proud of your Centre County heritage.� Felice noted a connection between the 148th Regiment and Grange Fair. When Grange Fair founder, Leonard Rhone, organized the first Granger’s Picnic in 1874, he wanted army tents for picnic attendees to use for overnight camping. Rhone was a personal friend of Col. James A. Beaver of the 148th, so Beaver supplied the tents, borrowed from the 148th. Felice described the soldiers’ uniforms. They were made of wool, a fabric noted for its durability. The wool allowed the soldiers perspiration to evaporate, and was actually comfortable on a hot day, according to Felice. The soldiers’ shoes were called brogans, and were made from soft leather. They had a metal plate resembling a small horseshoe attached to the heels to make the shoes last longer. There were no left or right shoes. The shoes in a pair were identical, and the soldiers would soak the shoes in water, and then wear them until they dried to make them conform to their individual foot shapes. The uniform pants could be had in light or dark blue. Coats were in two styles — the shorter ones were called sack coats, and the longer, dressier ones were called frock coats. The color of piping on the coats varied by units — blue for infantry, red for artillery, gold for cavalry. The uniform caps were called forage caps because they

standard equipment in the beginning of the war. These rifles could be fired about three times per minute. In 1863, they were issued Spencer repeating rifles which could fire about 45 rounds per minute. Felice led his re-enactors

Etters claims 2012 crown as Grange Fair Queen
AUGUST 30-SEPTEMBER 5, 2012
HELPING HANDS
By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
CENTRE HALL — Brittany Etters, of Howard, was crowned 2012 Grange Fair Queen on Aug. 23 at a contest in the Southside Stage in Grange Park. Nine contestants from all around Centre County competed for the crown. The contest included an interview with judges, a written essay, evening gown competition and speeches, which were presented to the audience. The speech subject was “Why Come to Grange Fair?” The contestants’ speeches cited reasons such as the fair’s 138-yearlong history, traditions, fun and uniqueness. One speech noted that a fair visitor would have to visit 38 food stands every day of the fair to sample all the food at the fair. Emcee Tor Michaels said that the judges had a difficult job, calling it “a job I wouldn’t want.” After what seemed like a long period of debating, the judges awarded the crown to Etters, and the runnerup title to Selena Richards, of Port Matilda. The 2011 Grange Fair Queen, Krystal Wasson, bestowed the crown to Etters, followed by many hugs, smiles and tears. Etters will preside over many events at the 2012 fair, and will retain her title for one year. Among the audience members were queens from the Huntingdon County Fair and the Clearfield County Fair.

Corbett: 19 airports to see improvements From Gazette staff reports HARRISBURG — Gov. Tom Corbett announced a $3.7 million state investment that will help 19 airports enhance their operations and accommodate increasing business needs. “Transportation is an economic driver, and Pennsylvania’s aviation industry plays a major role in delivering good-paying jobs and connections for commerce,” Corbett said. “We continue to invest in airport improvement projects because they help meet business demands and support the jobs that rely on these facilities.” In Centre County the Bellefonte Airport will receive $37,500 to acquire maintenance and snow equipment. The $3.7 million in grants are provided by PennDOT’s aviation development program. Funding for the aviation program comes from the state’s jet fuel tax and leverages more than $1.2 million in local matching funds. Public-use airports in the state are eligible for the aviation development program. The state has 133 public-use airports and heliports and 15 of those airports have scheduled commercial service.

Fresh Life: Fair filled with lots of happy campers CENTRE HALL — Everybody has their own story about the Centre County Grange Encampment Fair. Their family history and traditions make each year at the fair special to them. My personal story only started a mere six years ago when I met my husband, a Centre County native. When he first explained that his family “camps” at the Centre County Grange Fair for a week and that we would be participating that summer with a 30-foot camper in tow, I couldn’t believe it. At that time, we Amy Debach-Conlived on Centre Hall fer has a degree in Mountain, only one visual arts/photogmile from the fairraphy and training grounds. “How could as a wilderness EMT and beekeeper. this be a vacation?” I thought to myself. I She can be reached had gone to fairs. In at amosd14@ fact, I had served yahoo.com Leona sausage sandwiches at my local hometown fair for about five summers. It was unimaginable to me that camping in an RV at a fair for an entire week could be anything more than wretched. Until I got there. While many spend the week in an infamous green tent (of which there are close to 1,000) there are also over 1,500 recreational vehicles that pull in to spend the week. The fair also offers overflow RV camping without hookups for those who choose to stay a shorter period of time. The process of moving the camper in is always exciting. Several months before fair time, those who camp with a RV receive their move-in instructions, camp fees and that year’s information. Several weeks before the fair, campers are often detailed inside and out and days before the fair, needed supplies, clothing and food for the week is gathered. Everyone has a designated move-in date to lessen traffic and confusion. Volunteers help to make the process very organized and efficient. Each camper is directed into its measured location, then owners have the job of straightening and leveling their campers

It’s hard for some to fathom their camper sitting idle without them, so some choose to start staying at the fair as early as possible. As people continue to bring items and set up their camping spaces, a friendly and familiar voice over the loudspeaker announces that awnings can officially go out. From vintage and cozy pop-up campers to spacious and luxurious motor homes, there is a wide variety of living arrangements on the fair grounds. Some travel trailers are occupied by a few individuals while others are crammed with grandmas and grandpas, cousins, aunts and uncles, moms and dads, babies and visitors. In some situations, people are able to transform their kitchen tables and sofas into rather comfortable sleeping quarters.
In our situation, my mother-in-law converts the sofa into her bed each evening. Some celebrate birthday parties, anniversary parties or family reunions at trailers, while others take the week as a vacation to themselves. Fences, playpens, toys, decorations, carpets, plants, water features, picnic tables, couples swings and even raised platforms can be seen outside of campers just as they do at permanent homes. There is even a camper/RV supply store on the fair grounds where individuals can purchase everything from jacks, batteries and hoses, to tissues, tablecloths and fuses. Several recreational vehicle dealers can be found on the fairgrounds for those interested in purchasing a camper for the first time, trading their current one in on a different model, or simply to tour available models. It is fun to see what options are available in campers. Those with large families may be in-

PAWS ADOPT-A-PET Dixie, a dark gray and white speckled pit bull mix female, hopes the start of September comes with her finding that special forever family. A very sweet and friendly girl, Dixie would make a perfect canine sibling for children. She doesn’t mind the company of other dogs, but may have food aggression when eating around them. It is unknown if Dixie gets along with cats. Even though she is crate trained, Dixie is extremely well-mannered when left at home alone. If Dixie sounds like the perfect fit for your family, you can read more about her at http://www.centrecountypaws.org/dogs/ or stop by PAWS, 1401 Trout Road, State College, to meet her in person.
On Sept. 12, the topic will be “Women Who Win.” On Oct. 10, it will be “Easy Decorating Ideas.” On the third Tuesday of every month, the club hosts “Coffee Time” from 10 to 11:30 a.m. The Women of Centre County are also on Facebook.

clined to own a camper with bunk beds while couples may be more interested in what fabric and cabinet designs are available. Either way, owning a travel trailer is a great way to be able to travel with the comforts of home. I spoke with a gentleman who has been coming to the fair since he was young. He summed up the concept of the Grange Fair by simply saying, “You either get it or you don’t.” I “get it” and am glad I was introduced to the fair to start my own traditions. This year is especially unique as it is my 10month-old daughter’s first time staying in our camper and hopefully the first of many Grange camping experiences to come. Whether in a tent, pop-up, travel trailer, or motor home, everyone has a different experience at the Grange Fair. Most will attest that it is definitely a unique experience — one they wouldn’t miss for the world.

Centre Hall couple receives Grange Fair bench By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
CENTRE HALL — In August of 1941 at the 67th annual Grange Fair, Sara Zubler, from Gregg Township, was working at the fair playground, helping children ride the swings. A young man named Ken Frazier, from Potter Township, was working as an electrician’s helper, assisting longtime Grange Fair electrician Harold Durst. On the last night of the fair, Ken asked Sara out, and they spent the evening together at the fair. Thus began a relationship which culminated in a marriage which has lasted 65 years. Ken and Sara’s time together was interrupted when Ken received his “greetings” from Uncle Sam, and was drafted into the U.S. Army, serving in the European theater during World War II. Meanwhile, Sara went to Lock Haven State Teacher’s College, now Lock Haven University. After her graduation, and Ken’s return from the war, the couple dated for a year and they were married in 1947. Sara became a physical education teacher at the Centre Hall High School, then at the Penns Valley High School after the jointure which created the Penns Valley School district was formed. She retired in 1981. Ken worked for the Oak Hall plant of Hanover Foods for 15 years, then formed his own electrical, heating, and air conditioning business. “I sold the electrical business in 1983, and the heating and air conditioning business in 1985, and I haven’t looked back,” he said. “It’s been a pretty good life, and I think we’ve lived in the best of times.” On July 28, 2012, the Fraziers celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary with a party at the State College Elks Club. Their children presented them with a very unusual and special gift. They purchased a bench along the midway in Grange Park. The bench was engraved with the words “Ken & Sara Frazier first date at 1941 fair celebrating 65 years together 7/19/12.” The

LeDon Young, who was a classmate of the Frazier’s daughter, Nancy Wagner. Both Ken and Sara’s families were long time tenters, dating back perhaps 100 years.
The Fraziers have a son and three daughters, and now have six grandchildren and one great grandson. “We have been blessed,” Sara Frazier said.

Penn State searches for candidate to replace Silas Redd By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH UNIVERSITY PARK — Next man up. That has been one of the mantras of Penn State head coach Bill O’Brien’s first training camp with the Nittany Lions. Stung by NCAA sanctions and the loss of some key players, O’Brien and his players have focused on the players on hand, rather than the ones who have left. If someone transferred, the Lions are expecting someone to step up to replace him. That may be a relatively easy task in some cases. In other cases, such as replacing players like Khari Fortt or Anthony Fera or Justin Brown, it is more complicated. Then there is the matter of replacing Silas Redd. The Lions’ biggest offensive threat in 2011, when he rushed 244 times for 1,241 yards and seven touchdowns, Redd was considered to be the lynchpin of O’Brien’s new offense in 2012. He was a team leader on and off the field, but the sanctions and the star-making power of USC convinced him to transfer. Now, for Penn State, replacing him has been a major objective in camp, and the Lions

tion to make plays. “I think catching the ball out of the backfield, blocking, running the ball, speed and vision are my strengths,� he added, “and we are constantly working on pass protection. That is one of the things that I want to improve on. You are dealing with bigger and bigger linemen and backers, and you have to work on your technique to handle those guys.� Belton is not the kind of back who is going to run over many defenders so he will need the O-line to create space for him, something even Redd had problems with at times last season, but he has made some long runs in camp scrimmages and has impressed the coaches. Look for Belton to be the starter on opening day against Ohio.

Belton is a converted wide receiver from last year’s team who does have experience running the ball out of the wildcat offense. The 5-foot-10, 202pound sophomore played in eight games and ran the ball 13 times for 66 yards in 2011. The word out of camp is that Belton is a natural running back who has a style very much like Redd’s — quick feet, great vision, breakaway speed. “Billy’s got great instincts,� Penn State running backs coach Charles London said, “and he has great feet. He catches the ball well coming out of the backfield, and he is just now learning his craft. “He was a quarterback coming out of high school, played some wildcat quarterback and receiver last year, so he is coming into just his 18th or 19th practice at being a running back. He’s picking things up, he understands it. We just have to keep developing him.� “The offense is great,� Belton said. “Coach O’Brien does a lot of great things with the running backs and receivers.

Day is a 5-9, 193-pound senior from Central Dauphin who also saw limited action in 2011. He ran the ball only seven times for 27 yards and caught a pass for 13 yards. He is not a flashy runner, but he is dependable, knows what he is doing, and has been around the program for four years. “Solid,� is what London said about Day. “You put Derek Day into a ballgame and you have no doubts about what is going to happen. He knows where he is supposed to be, he knows his assignments, and he can execute.� Day appears to be a perfect backup for Belton, and he will probably see quite a bit of time, especially early in the season as the younger players develop.

Season opener ushers in new era at PSU The last time the Penn State Nittany Lions took the field at Beaver Stadium was Nov. 12. That seems like a long time ago, doesn’t it? For the record, the Nittany Lions lost that day, a close 17-14 defeat at the hands of the Nebraska Cornhuskers. I was in the stands for that game and I can tell you that that it was more than a football game. It was an emotional experience. Now, here we are, 10 months later. The new-look Nittany Lions will take the field on Saturday under the direction of first-year head coach Bill O’Brien. Paterno, of course, wasn’t there on Nov. 12, having been fired by the Board of Trustees on Nov. 9. Tom
Bradley directed the Lions that day. So much has changed since that afternoon. The team went on to lose three of its final four games. O’Brien was hired. Paterno passed away in January. The majority of the coaching staff was let go, including Paterno’s son, Jay. The trial of former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky re-opened the wounds. He was convicted of 45 of 48 counts of child sexual abuse in June. Then, there were the sanctions. Wins erased. Fines levied. Scholarships taken away. Players departed. Verbal commitments said farewell before they could sign their letters-of-intent. There will be four bowl-less seasons for O’Brien and his charges. But what Penn State fans every-
where must realize is that for as bleak as things appear, it could be worse. Much worse. The NCAA toyed with the idea of bringing the hammer down even harder than it did. There was talk of the Death Penalty. For how long? No one really knows. A season? Two? Three? Four? NCAA president Mark Emmert debated it, but in the end spared the football program. That’s something to be thankful for. Imagine, just for a minute, Sept. 1 with no football in Happy Valley. No RVs in the parking lots. Empty hotels. Restaurants with no lines. It would have impacted more than the football program, that’s for sure. It would have cost the Centre Region jobs, both at the
university and elsewhere. Saturday’s game will have a different feel, that’s for sure. Things have changed at Penn State — and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. While we’ll never be able to erase the bad things that happened here, we can — and will — move forward. In addition to there being a new coach and staff on the sidelines, there will be something new on the jerseys — players’ names. Undoubtedly, there will be new songs played over the loudspeakers, some new cheers and new videos on the JumboTron. The Penn State helmets will be the same — plain white with a blue stripe

The good, the bad and the ugly Every week in Gazette Gameday, we’ll preview Penn State’s matchup. This week, Ohio University visits Beaver Stadium as the 2012 season gets under way. We’ll break down the matchup with a feature we call the good, the bad and the ugly. ■ The Good: Despite the departure of Silas Redd, Penn State’s ground game is still formidable. Watch for the No. 1 — Bill Belton. He seems more than confident that he’ll be able to fill Redd’s extremely large shoes. Another key
in the backfield will be Michael Zordich. He’s looked good in practice and could be a weapon coming out of the backfield. ■ The Bad: Departures and injuries have left the Penn State secondary depleted, and that could be bad news against the pass-happy Bobcats. Ohio quarterback Tyler Tettleton passed for over 3,000 yards last year and connected for 28 touchdowns. Look for Frank Solich to come out and test the Nittany Lions’ secondary.
■ The Ugly: From what we’re hearing, the Penn State kicking game has been a mess since Anthony Fera left town for the University of Texas. Sam Ficken will likely handle placekicking duties with Alex Buterworth taking over punting. According to sources, neither has been impressive during practice and that could make things interesting, especially when there’s a battle for field position. — Chris Morelli

alone could make him a weapon in short-yardage and redzone situations. And now with the academic problems behind him, we could see him start to realize his potential in 2012. “A lot of this is kind of new for Curtis,” London said. “He missed the spring, so he’s had a lot of new learning. I am interested to see what will happen with Curtis.” How the rest of training camp goes will determine Dukes’ role on this team, but since O’Brien said that it is “imperative” that Penn State be able to run the ball in short yardage situations, do not be surprised if you see Dukes getting more and more playing time.

■ AKEEL LYNCH
Lynch is the highly-recruited freshman who famously stuck with the Lions after being sought after by many other schools to transfer. He is also a highly-skilled dark horse in the Penn State backfield, and when O’Brien said that the “best” players will play regardless of class, Lynch was probably one of the people he had in mind when he said that. “Akeel is a smart kid,” London said. “He is physical, runs hard, and he is a one-cut downhill slasher. He wants to learn, very studious. Always asking questions, and very good ones. I always tell him to learn to make a new mistake. And that is what he is doing. You show him something on film, and he is able to take it to the field.” In the old days, Lynch would likely have moved up slowly, but things are different now. O’Brien does not seem like the kind of coach who would let talented players sit on the bench. The Penn State fullbacks, Michael Zordich and Zach Zwinak, will also figure into the Lion running game, and do not forget about preferred walk-on Jack Haffner, a 2,000yard rusher out of State College Area High School. Everyone knows that O’Brien likes to be creative with his offense. In New England, players lined up in many different places in the formations, including tight ends as tailbacks, so expect many different looks at Penn State as well. It will be difficult watching and hearing about Redd in maroon and gold this fall, but Penn State has talent at that position — it will be fun to see who emerges as that next man up.
New era, from page 15 running down the center. However, look for the blue ribbon on the back of the helmet. The ribbon, of course, pays tribute to victims of child abuse. At Media Day back on Aug. 9, O’Brien said that the ribbon was the most important addition to the Penn State uniform. “(The) ribbon will signify putting an end to child abuse,” he said. By now, most of us know what the ribbon signifies. However, there are probably some out there who do not know what it means. Perhaps it will educate and enlighten. If it makes you reach into your wallet and donate to a charitable organization, great. If it makes you want to donate time and mentor a child, even better. Over the past few seasons, my 14-year-old son and I have formed a bit of a gameday routine. We’ll make the short walk down Curtin Road through the sea of blue and white to Beaver Stadium and find our way to our seats. As we walked through the gates last Nov. 12, we knew that Penn State football would be different. It continues to change. There was a time when I wasn’t certain that we’d be able to spend several Saturdays at Beaver Stadium this fall. There was a time when I believed the stadium would be dark. Fortunately, for Nittany Nation, that isn’t the case. On Saturday, park in your usual spot. Tailgate like you normally would. Cheer louder than you ever have before. Just don’t forget about that patch. Most importantly, don’t forget about the victims. Ever.

Week 1: Bellefonte visits BEA in backyard battle By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH and JOHN DIXON sports@centrecountygazette.com
WINGATE — It doesn’t get any better than Bellefonte at Bald Eagle Area on opening night of the 2012 season. These two teams, both seeking redemption from disappointing 2011 seasons and both needing winning starts to 2012, will reprise their rivalry and kick off the new season in grand style on Friday night. “I think it’s a great thing to open your season with a rival,” Bellefonte coach Duffy Besch said. “It brings a little bit of extra excitement to the beginning of the season, and it adds a little bit more flair to the start. It give a little bit of extra hop in everyone’s step because they know that at the end of the day, we are playing in game one and playing against a local rival like Bald Eagle. “Most coaches will tell you that winning that first game can do a lot for the mentality of the team. I think it’s very important to do what you can to get that first game under your belt. “Everybody’s nervous, everybody’s got a little extra butterflies, because it is game one. But having the opportunity to go against Bald Eagle, coach (Jack) Tobias, and his team, and have that rivalry makes it special for both sides.” Bellefonte and Bald Eagle both have reasons for optimism in 2012. BEA returns 14 lettermen from last year’s team including quarterback Cole Long, receivers Dylan Wormer and Jonathon Romine, and 220pound running back Nate Sharkey. The offensive line, which will be one of the strengths of the team, returns Caleb Daye, Tanner Cramer, Levi Cramer and Hunter Hall. The defense, according to Tobias, is “well balanced.” “We have a couple of good kids up front,” he said, “and in the secondary Dyan Wormer and Dakota Bartley give us some experience back there.” Bellefonte will counter with Jordan Fye returning at quarterback and running backs Brian White and NuNu Buey. “We believe,” Besch said, “that we have a good strong skill set (on offense) that gives us some interchangeable parts. We are going to move kids around. It’s nice when you can have those players and have
them play multiple positions and make them interchangeable. It gives you more weapons.” On defense, Besch said he is looking for “consistency.” It’s no secret that last season Bellefonte was hurt by the big play and improvement there will be important to the Red Raiders’ chances, especially against the experienced O-Line of BEA. “We are going to need to go over there,” Besch said, “and play tough, hard-nosed football. We are going to need to control the line of scrimmage. Not to say that we have to stop everybody, but we have to limit the plays, limit the yardage. Instead of five or seven yards on a run, we give up two. If we can do that, we could put ourselves in a position and the end of the ball game to win. “I think it’s going to be a great night.” Kickoff on the turf at Wingate is slated for 7 p.m.
LIBERTY AT STATE COLLEGE STATE COLLEGE — District 11’s Bethlehem Liberty and State College come into their season opener on Friday night under very similar circumstances. Both teams are coming off of eight-win seasons, and both teams have to replace their quarterback and top running back. Both have a core of talented players returning, and both have their sights set squarely on qualifying for the state tournament in 2012. The Hurricanes, 8-4 last season, lost all five of their top rushers from 2011, including 6-foot, 235-pound Stephon FontToomer and Jack Long. Operating out of the flexbone offense, those five runners accounted for a total of 3,724 yards and 40 touchdowns, and replacing them will be priority number one for Liberty. Senior Ramel Days is set to take over for Font-Toomer, and although he does not have the size of Font-Toomer, he is said to be one of the strongest players on the team. Junior Derek Byrd is the leading candidate to take over a quarterback, and he will have impressive targets to throw to. AllState senior wide receiver Boise Ross, a transfer from Pius X, has joined the team this year and will team up with K.J. Williams (31 catches, 617 yards, and 11 TDs in 2011) to pose a formidable threat on the

THE BELLEFONTE Area High School football team will head down the road in Week One to take on rival Bald Eagle Area. outside. If Byrd can get the ball to those playmakers consistently, Liberty’s offense will be explosive to say the least. Liberty’s defense has been a concern, however. The Hurricanes gave up a total of 322 points last season, and that will have to improve if they are to get through the tough LVC Eastern Conference. The story for State College is very similar. The Little Lions lost quarterback Josh Weakland and tailback Jack Haffner, who combined for a total of 3,700 yards of offense. Haffner himself ran for 2,100 yards and 28 touchdowns, and he is now a freshman running back on the Penn State roster. Andrew Kelly, with 960 all-purpose yards in 2011, returns and will likely split time at quarterback with Patrick Irwin at quarterback. Speedsters Dan Fry and Darien Herncane return on the outside, and fullback/linebacker Ryan Goeke will handle the tough running inside. Defensively, State College gave up an average of over 28 points per game, but Goeke, and defensive tackles Evan Galimberti and Amir Haywood will lead a group
that is looking to vastly improve those numbers. “We do not duck anybody,” State College head coach Al Wolski said. “Last year we opened with (state champion) North Allegheny, and now Liberty, so we don’t avoid anybody. “We are right now trying to find out who we are, what our identity is, who our leaders are. We have a lot of question marks, but they are working hard and we’ll have to see how they end up. “A quick start this season would be nice, rather than going 0-3 or 0-5.” That quick start, at least in this game, will likely be determined by the effort of the defense. Both offenses have vast potential, but they are inexperienced, so the team that defends better will probably pull out a close victory. Kickoff in State College is scheduled for 7.

New blood First-year soccer coach Orton is ready for the challenge at State College By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — New State College Area High School boys’ soccer coach Danny Orton knows he has big shoes to fill with the retirement of longtime coach John Marsden. The Little Lion soccer team had long been a fixture in district and state playoffs under Marsden, and last year made it into the final four teams in the state before finally losing in a close game to Upper St. Clair. With more than 15 years of coaching experience, however, Orton is no stranger to the sport and has some definite plans of his own about how to keep the State College program at those high levels. “First of all,” Orton said, “our number one priority is to represent the school well, in terms of the off-the-field and professionalism. Our boys are probably tired of hearing me say that word by now, but we’ve essentially tried to get them into shape about how to present the school and that they are good citizens of the school. “My plans for the team are really a long term approach. We have mixed up rosters; we have a fluid squad so that anybody can play on any roster so that will
keep them on their toes and everyone will keep fresh. “We kept 49 players, which is one of the highest ever, and we train all together with the goal that everybody gets to know everybody’s name. The hope is, and my promise to every one of them, is that they will get better in three months and they will have a good time.” Orton’s pedigree in soccer goes back to Lester, England, where he is from, and continued to the United State with the emergence of Major League Soccer in the United States. “I came here in 1997 with Major League Soccer,” he said, “teaching camps and clinics along the East coast. Then I was back and forth to England for a few years, and then I met people from State College and came here permanently in 2000. Now I am married and have an eightmonth old son, and I’ve been here for 12 years now. “This is my full-time job. This is what I do.” Orton was running soccer camps and clinics and working with local players for years, all the while keeping track of the successes of the Little Lions’ teams. When Marsden retired after last season, Orton knew that coaching State College was what he wanted to do.
“When the position opened up, I emailed the athletic director straight away,” he said, “letting her know that I would be interested in the position. I knew that I would be getting a chance to work with essentially the best players in town, and that was exciting.” On paper, it would seem that 2012 shapes up as a rebuilding year for State College after losing key players like Kelton Cheney, Dieter Bahr, and Josh Clothiaux, but Orton is up-beat about what he sees in his team and has set lofty goals. “We have goals that we think are attainable,” he said. “We definitely want to compete at the district level and win districts—no doubt about that. That’s a goal. “If we get to the state championships, if we get on a run again, we are going to be playing against good teams. The bottom line is, like I said to the boys, for us to be in a position where we’re doing well, we’ll need to be fortunate. We’ll need everyone to play well, we might need a good referee call at some point, we don’t know. On any given day, anyone can beat us. We need to make sure that we compete in every game we play, whether it’s a scrimmage or a district championship.” Midfielder Sam Bollinger shares his coach’s optimism. “I

SOCCER COACH Danny Orton, far left, talks to his team following a recent practice. think we look pretty good so far,” he said. “I think we can definitely make it to the Mid-Penn Championships, which is the top two from each division. Then get into the state championships and try to make a run like we did last year. “Based on our scrimmage yesterday, we need to start playing a little faster. We worked a little on that today. But other than that, I think we looked pretty good.” Another midfielder, Matt Self, thinks that the team can replace
the players lost from last season. “It will be hard replacing those players, definitely,” he said, “but we have a lot of great players who are very able to fill those roles. “I am very optimistic so far. I think that as the season goes on, we can only get better.” State College is scheduled to open its season on Sept. 4 at Cumberland Valley and then travel to Hollidaysburg on Sept. 6. The first home game is scheduled for Sept. 8 against Carlisle.

ing a shot on goal.
sports@centrecountygazette.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — The No. 3 Penn State women’s volleyball team finished the weekend in the Active Ankle Challenge at Louisville with a perfect 3-0 record. The Nittany Lions swept host Louisville on Saturday 25-20, 25-17, 25-18 after sweeping earlier matches against Moorehead State and Western Kentucky. Junior Ariel Scott was named the tournament MVP, and she was joined on the All-Tournament team by teammates Katie Slay and Deja McClendon. Scott had 13 kills in the match against Louisville, McClendon had 11, and both Slay and Maddie Martin added eight. Micha Hancock recorded 37 assists in the match and had three aces. Penn State will open its home season on Aug. 31 against Stanford at 8 p.m., while Florida and Texas meet earlier at 4:30 p.m. at Rec Hall.
MEN’S SOCCER OPENS WITH A 3-0 WIN OVER STETSON Penn State began its soccer season with a 3-0 victory over Stetson on Monday at Jeffery Field. Senior Julian Cardona scored two goals in the game, one minute apart, that propelled the Lions to the win.

WOMEN’S SOCCER TEAM FALLS 3-2 TO NO. 1 STANFORD No. 1 Stanford scored the winning goal in the 87th minute and escaped Penn State, 3-2, before a record crowd of over 5,000 people at Jeffery Field on Friday night. Senior Christine Nairn just minutes before had tied the game at 2-2 with a penalty kick, but Mariah Nogueira headed a ball off of a corner kick into the back left corner of the goal to give the Cardinal the win. Freshman Mallory Weber scored Penn State’s other goal in the first half and had a total of four shots in the game, but Stanford goalie Aly Gleason made two incredible saves against her to preserve the win.
FIELD HOCKEY TRIPS NO. 3 ODU No. 9 Penn State began its 2012 field hockey season with a big 5-2 victory over no. 3 Old Dominion University on Friday night. Penn State scored three unanswered goals in the second period and then held off the Monarchs to claim the victory. Kelsey Amy scored two goals and Laura Gebhart, Whitney Reddig, and Brittany Grzwacz each netted on in the win. “I was very proud of the way they played,” Penn State head coach Char Morett said. “I was really proud of the way they hung in there when Old Dominion tied it up at 2-2. They’re a strong team.”

19th annual Geri Reeve Open set for Sept. 10 By MARJORIE S. MILLER mmiller@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — Raising breast cancer awareness and helping underprivileged and underinsured Centre County residents is only part of the Geri Reeve Open Golf Tournament. Slated to begin at 7 a.m. on Sept. 10 at the Penn State Blue and White Courses, the 19th annual event will feature a four-person scramble, team photos, breakfast and lunch, prizes, and a variety of other events and activities, said Geri Reeve, event founder. The deadline to register is tomorrow. The event, which benefits the Centre County Breast Cancer Coalition and the American Cancer Society, is open only to women participants, Reeve said. A full 100 percent of the funds donated to the Centre County Breast Cancer Coalition stay in Centre County for free screening and diagnostic mammograms, Reeve said. “With the money we have raised from the Geri Reeve Open, we have now been able to include additional breast services which include biopsies,” she said. “The money we (give) to the American Cancer Society is donated to the Centre County office and appropriated nationally.” Reeve, a two-time breast cancer survivor, said the money raised through the event is “truly secondary” to the main purpose, which is to promote awareness of breast cancer and the importance of early detection. “In 2000, we added the Centre County Breast Cancer Coalition (as a beneficiary) so that people living in Centre County could benefit and receive some financial assistance for mammogram testing,” Reeve said. “Without a doubt, someone out there is alive today because of the Geri Reeve Open.” The event draws some 170 participants each year, she said, between golfers and volunteers.
“The Geri Reeve Open started at Toftrees (golf resort) and has grown so much we now have it at the Penn State Golf Course and fill both the Blue and White courses,” Reeve said. The tournament, which started in 1994 as a small local event of 42 golfers, was inspired by Reeve, and made possible by the work of a few friends. “I found my first lump at the age of 28 which resulted in my first mastectomy,” Reeve said. “Unfortunately, I had a second mastectomy 13 years later, and that resulted in six months of chemotherapy and five years of Tamoxifen (hormone therapy).” “By the time I had my second bout with cancer, I had become a pretty avid golfer and someone who loved life,” she continued. “Even on chemo, I would go to the golf course and my friends would pick me up in a golf cart and let me play a few holes.” Four of those friends, Nancy Lippincott, Mary Ellen Hurley, Suzanne Cummings and Anne Marie Lee, decided to get a golf tournament together and donate the money to the American Cancer Society, Reeve said. “That was the beginning of the Geri Reeve Open Golf Tournament,” she said. “The first year we made $393.” The 2011 tournament raised $25,002.41, pushing the 18-year total to nearly $262,050, Reeve said. “This would not be possible without the committee … (and) special thanks to the 2011 Geri Reeve Open sponsors and golfers,” Reeve said. “We look forward to your continued support in 2012. It is only through the efforts and support of local residents, organizations and businesses that we can continue to grow and make an impact in the fight against this deadly disease.” For more information, including sponsor and registration forms, visit www.GeriReeveOpen. com.

LINE MOUNTAIN AT P-O
Twin Valley/Tri-Valley League after spending the past two seasons in the Mountain League competing primarily against larger programs from larger schools. The Indians held their own, posting a 43 record in league play. Klingensmith, a former standout for Penn State, sports an overall 252-184-6 career mark. Even though the ageless Klingensmith is about to begin his 44th season in Mifflintown, the PSFCA Hall of Famer is reinvigorated by his outfit’s return to familiar turf and ready to pursue a few more victories. “Juniata is Juniata,” said Penns Valley head coach Martin Tobias. “Klingensmith has been there for 44 years and knows how to run a system. They have some real talented kids and a couple of players that are really fast. Converted wide receiver Chad Eberle nor running back Neil Bodley (5-10, 205) has played the position on a full-time basis before but they will give you problems running out of the wildcat position. Bodley has legit 4.5 speed (7.2 average per carry last season) and is a real tough kid.” According to Tobias, the Juniata offense presents plenty of challenges. “Juniata also runs a lot of traps, pulling guards, it’s just a very tough offense to defense,” Tobias said. “We haven’t looked real good and have struggled thus far in preseason. I’m just hoping we can keep the game respectable. I just can’t explain what’s been happening in the preseason, we just always performing well at this point. There is no continuity, we have just been shuffling the deck.” Kickoff at Penns Valley is set for 7.
PHILIPSBURG — Rodney Knock, a former star quarterback at Line Mountain, sees his first action as head coach of his alma mater when the Eagles face Philipsburg-Osceola in the season opener for both teams. While the Eagles lost offensive stars Marty Beninsky and Kyle Troutman, they have plenty of firepower left over from a team that went 10-2 in each of the last two seasons and haven’t loss a Tri-Valley League game in three years. “Preseason camp, no matter what sport it is, is pretty much the same thing,” Knock said. “For the last 22 years, we’ve had one losing season. We are doing the same stuff we did when I was here as a player and it works.” The former Eagle quarterback, who played safety for Lycoming College for two seasons, is also the Eagles’ head baseball coach. And he was a member of veteran coach Mike Carson’s staff the previous two seasons. P-O’s coach Jeff Vroman knows all to well how tough a game this will be for his Mounties. “We’ve looked at them on tape and they really spread the offense through the air and then they mix in a run,” Vroman explained. “They have the ability to spread your defense and they are very multifaceted. Defensively the like to use the 50 and at times they will have 11 people within 5-6 yards of the line of scrimmage. This game will definitely be a challenge. Line Mountain is a quality program and their history is understood and speaks for itself. They’ve only had one losing season in over 20

THE PENNS VALLEY Area High School football team huddles up following a recent practice. The Rams host Juniata in Week One. years. Line Mountain has gone 28-8 over the last three years. “For us, we need to be consistent and play ball control when we are on offense,” Vroman said. “Defensively we need to make them work and not allow any big plays. They have lived on the big plays for-
ever and our kids have to step up and rise to the challenge. We need to be careful with the ebb and flow of the game and not get to low and be down or not to high to allow ourselves to get caught by something out of the ordinary.” Kickoff at P-O’s Memorial Field is set for 7.

AUGUST 30-SEPTEMBER 5, 2012
The Glass Eye: NFL preview — playoff hopefuls Last week, we previewed the teams I expect to be the 11 worst in the league. This week, we’ll look at the middle 11 — teams that should finish with 7-10 wins and have legitimate playoff aspirations. History shows that at least one of the teams I listed last week will make the playoffs, and at least one of the teams I list this week will have an awful season — the NFL is rarely predictable. That said, let’s get to it! 21. Seattle Seahawks: One of the dangers of doing these Dave Glass is a columnist for The columns over a threeCentre County week span is that in Gazette. Email the preseason, teams Dave at buggyare constantly in flux racer@verizon.net. and sometimes make surprising decisions. The Seahawks’ decision to start third-round draft pick Russell Wilson over newly signed quarterback Matt Flynn qualifies as surprising, to say the least — and causes me to drop the Seahawks significantly in my standings. Last year Seattle went 7-9 but improved immensely over their 2010 7-9 campaign — but all the improvement was on defense, as their offense was below-average both years. I thought the signing of Flynn, who looked great in limited duty for the Packers, would vault the Seahawks into true contention for a wildcard — but it appears he’s hurt, and the 5foot-11 Wilson will almost certainly struggle once the regular season begins. In addition, the Seahawks spent eight of their 10 draft picks on defense, even though they have a need for elite playmakers both at running back and wide receiver. I think their defense will remain stout and possibly even improve ... but unless Flynn is healthy and the starter, I think the of-
DAVE GLASS
fense will really struggle in an improved NFC West. Based on the current depth chart, I’m saying 6-10 for the Seahawks. 20. Miami Dolphins: I know a lot of pundits are picking Miami to struggle, and with a lack of skilled receivers and rookie starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill, I agree that there’s a lot of risk here. However, the backup quarterback, Matt Moore, was a decent quarterback a year ago so I think the team will have a quick hook if Tannehill struggles. Reggie Bush had a breakout season, averaging 5 yards per carry and I really like this young offensive line. Defensively, the dolphins allowed only 1 team to score 30-plus points, and held eight opponents to 20 or less points. This is a solid defensive team — not flashy, but stout, particularly against the run. Miami went 6-3 in their last nine games, and actually outscored their opponents on the season — but indicators of a team better than their 6-10 record indicated. There’s no question this team needs additional skill on the outside, but assuming Tannehill isn’t a total disaster, there’s potential for eight or nine wins here. I think the upside is limited because their offense will be 20th or worse, but I’m saying 7-9 for the Dolphins. 19. Denver Broncos: Look, I’m a huge Peyton Manning fan — I think he’s an inner-circle Hall of Fame guy, one of the top five quarterbacks ever to play the game — especially mentally ... but the Broncos have bet the farm on a 36-year-old quarterback who missed a whole season with neck and arm-strength issues — and who wasn’t exactly mobile in his prime. Denver was outscored by 89 points a season ago — by far the worst among playoff teams, and among the worst all-time. They scored only 309 points, lowest of any playoff team, and their defense allowed almost 400 points. Don’t let the upset of the Steelers fool you — this was not a good team in 2011, and while there is some young talent here I don’t see this as a vastly improved team in 2012. If Manning is even 80 percent of what
he was, he’s a big improvement over Tebow ... and the defense is bound to be somewhat better this season — but there’s no way they make the playoffs if they get outscored again, that’s just too fluky to repeat. Also, if Manning gets hurt again, they are likely to completely collapse as they have no quarterback depth at all now. I’m going to say 7-9 but that’s only because I believe Manning still has it ... if I’m wrong or if he gets hurt, it could be a very long year in Denver. 18. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: The Bucs were actually 4-2 last season before utterly collapsing and losing their last 10 games, and the last six weeks were particularly ugly. So why do I think the Bucs will be more competitive in 2012? First, I think coach Raheem Morris completely lost the team, and that’s evident by the way the team more or less quit in December. I cannot fathom that new coach Greg Schiano will allow that to happen. Also, the team brought in all kinds of help on offense — Dallas Clark and Vincent Jackson will be a huge upgrade in the passing game, while Doug Martin and LaGarrette Blount should provide an effective one-two punch at running back. Defensively the Bucs drafted two immediate starters at linebacker and strong safety, and this group is far too talented to allow 490 points again. The schedule is somewhat easier in 2012, but in my mind the season comes down to the effectiveness/leadership of Schiano and quarterback Josh Freeman. With these weapons and now in his fourth season, there are no more excuses — if Freeman is a legit top-15 quarterback in this league he has to show it in 2012. I think they still have some holes to fill, but the rest of the division is somewhat down and I see an opportunity for Tampa Bay to climb back toward .500. Call it 7-9 for the Bucs. 17. Cincinnati Bengals: I know they are a trendy pick in some circles to win the division, but they beat only one team with a winning record last year — the 9-7 Titans. Their defense is solid but unspectacular,
they won’t sneak up on anyone, Ced Benson is gone (replaced by BenJarvus GreenEllis, at best this is a wash), and aside from A.J. Green I see no playmakers on this team at all. Add to that the likelihood of some regression from second-year QB Andy Dalton and I just don’t see them improving in 2012. I think they will be a factor in the division all year, and watch out if they make some solid moves in 2013 ... but I foresee a step back to 7-9 in 2012. 16. Chicago Bears: Chicago appears to have developed a pattern the past three seasons — below-average offense. They have scored between 320-350 points every year since acquiring Jay Cutler, and frankly that’s not good enough in this division. The acquisition of Brandon Marshall may help some, but the bigger problem is that Cutler is neither durable nor especially accurate. At least he has a solid backup now in Jason Campbell, which should keep the team competitive if (when?) Cutler gets hurt. The Bears’ scoring defense has also been below-average three of the last four seasons under Lovie Smith, and I don’t see them becoming a top-tier defense while dealing with the Packers and Lions four times per season. This is a good-not-great unit on a good-not-great team. If everything breaks right — and either the Lions or Packers stumble — the Bears could win 10 or 11 games. However, I think they clearly are the third-best team in the division and they will struggle to get above .500. 8-8 again for the Bears. 15. Kansas City Chiefs: 2011 was nightmarish in KC — their stud running back was lost for the season in Week 2, quarterback Matt Cassel missed seven games (and his backups were horrible), and the team scored only 212 points. Somehow, they managed to win seven games while being outscored by 120 points ... the good news is, all of the above-mentioned players are now healthy, and the team has added even more skill on offense via the draft and free

AUGUST 30-SEPTEMBER 5, 2012 Glass Eye, from page 22 agency. Peyton Hillis is the perfect complement to Jamaal Charles at running back, and the team also addressed the offensive line with two high picks. Defensively the team was already solid and they drafted a stout nose tackle to clog up the middle — and they already were a top-12 defense. Given the relative weakness of the division, assuming Cassel stays upright it’s not hard to see the Chiefs as a contender for the division. I think 10 wins will do it, but I am not picking the Chiefs to get there — maybe in 2013. 8-8 for the Chiefs. 14. New York Giants: Yes, I’m picking the defending champs to miss the playoffs. Their amazing postseason run obscured one immutable fact — for 16 games, they were a very poor defensive team, and they have allowed 400-plus points two of the past three seasons. I think their Super Bowl title may have blinded management as to the team’s faults, because they only drafted one defensive player in the first six rounds and essentially head into 2012 with the same starting lineup. Offensively, Eli Manning has proven that he is a big-time, big-game quarterback — and the Giants offense has consistently been a top-10 offense the past four seasons. However, the loss of Mario Manningham, the injury to Hakeem Nicks, and the lack of a running game may make this Eli’s most challenging season to date. The Giants will still score plenty of points, but I think their defense will keep them from a title defense: 8-8 for the G-Men. 13. New Orleans Saints: Let’s see ... their top linebacker, general manager and coach are suspended for the season, the interim coach is suspended for six weeks, they didn’t have a draft pick until the third round, and they were 24th in yards allowed last season. The odds of putting up two straight 500-point seasons are long even without all the offseason turmoil, and combining that with the likelihood of a defensive decline makes another 13-win season a longshot at best. The offense is still among the best in the game (as long as Brees is healthy at least), and features a plethora of skilled backs and receivers. Even though 500 points is unlikely, I’d consider it a major shock if this wasn’t one of the top five offenses in 2012. The defense is another matter — it is short on playmakers and having to change coordinators may mean a
THE CENTRE COUNTY GAZETTE slow start. Overall, New Orleans is perhaps the toughest team to judge — will all this adversity pull the team together, or will it be too much burden to bear? I lean towards the latter, and have the Saints just missing the playoffs at 9-7. 12. Baltimore Ravens: Age always wins in the end, and I think age is finally going to catch up with Ed Reed (33) and Ray Lewis (37) in 2012. Age, plus free agent losses (Jarret Johnson and Tom Zbikowski), plus the injury to Terrell Suggs, suggests to me that one of the NFL’s most feared defenses is likely to take a major step back this season. They will still be a good unit, but I predict that they will allow more than 300 points for the first time since 2007. Offensively, they have some weapons — Ray Rice has become an elite back, and while Anquan Boldin is in decline young Torrey Smith showed exceptional promise at wide receiver. Unfortunately, at this point it’s fair to say Joe Flacco will not become an elite quarterback — in his fourth season he completed only 57 percent of his passes — the lowest figure of his career. He has settled in as an average NFL quarterback, one who can guide a good offense but not a game-changing player. I do not believe the offense can overcome a significant decline by the defense, I think the schedule is much tougher this season, and I see the Ravens barely making the playoffs as a 9-7 wildcard. 11. Dallas Cowboys: Dallas made strides last season and had control of their playoff chances with two weeks to go, but losses to Philly and the Giants meant another disappointing finish in Big D. The team attached the defense hard via the draft, spending their first four picks on defenders. Rookie cornerback Morris Claiborne is revered by scouts and should help shore up a porous secondary. The Dallas D was average last year, but it should be slightly improved in 2012. Offensively, the pieces are there for a very good offense — if they can stay healthy. The running backs were effective but injury-prone in 2011 and Dez Bryant is a fantastic wide receiver if he can stay out of trouble. QB Tony Romo puts up great numbers but seems to fade in big moments — he needs to have another solid year for Dallas to make the postseason. The division is always competitive and the schedule (AFC North) is rough, but I think Dallas will grab the last wild-card slot in the NFC at 9-7.

Winners of art show announced By ANNE WALKER For The Gazette
LEMONT — Anyone craving visual drama, excitement and vibrancy will find it at the 2012 Juried Show at the Art Alliance of Central PA. Those looking for more serene experiences won’t leave disappointed either. In fact, “variety” sums up this show nicely. The exhibit features over 40 pieces by local artists in mediums including oil, pastel, acrylic, spray paint and photography. Each piece, whether still-life, portrait or landscape, gives the viewer insight into the artist’s vision. Shirley Zampelli Sturtz-Davis, whose still-life “Carnival on Kraig’s Quilt” received an honorable mention, likes to build her subject matter “like stage sets,” using objects like the multi-colored quilt, dolls and figurines seen in her work. The result brings to mind images from storybooks, and she says she “hopes people have as much fun looking at it as I do setting it up and painting it.” Tommickle uses a different approach in his piece, “Knower.” The vivid blocks of color suggest a kaleidoscope shape forming a human face He describes how random splashes of color and blobs of paint reveal images
that appeal to him. Enhancing the images through more traditional techniques, Knower results in a “portrait of someone with inner vision or knowledge of the world.” Photography enthusiasts will appreciate Anne Cortese’s “April Earth.” Cortese took the digital photo on state Route 45. She describes it as “simple.” However, the rich tones of the soil extend in a clean line to a stand of trees resulting in a landscape pure in composition and evocative of the natural beauty of Centre County. The exhibit features quite a few landscapes, including “Millbrook Marsh in Spring,” which won second place for pastel artist Jennifer Shuey. The piece depicts the juncture of Slab Cabin and Thompson Runs meandering through marsh grass and early cattails. Also an instrumental member of the Clearwater Conservancy, Shuey hopes that her artwork “helps to share the beauty of the landscape so that others can help protect it.” Another outdoor image, this one from overseas, won an Honorable Mention for photographer Heide Castleman. She describes her “Homage to Hokusai” as “reminiscent of a Japanese woodcut.” She relates a visit to a mountain village in France and how she had hoped to take photographs, but couldn’t due to

constant rain. “The second to last morning there, the clouds broke up,” she said. “I was overjoyed by the colors in the sky and the cloud formations.” The photograph shows a low horizon topped with “clouds like water.” Castleman says that the work expresses “joy just to have one day of sunshine.” With all the different moods, textures and subjects in this show, juror Jean Sanders says she was “amazed by how different the pieces look in real life.” Sanders had the task of selecting artwork for the exhibit and did so using digital images. Then she had to select winning pieces. “I was struck by how everyone is informed by landscape,” she said. Hailing from Chicago, the Penn State University associate professor says that here in Central PA, “the artists are blessed by the surroundings.” Sanders urges residents to “come and see the real work.” The show does seem a celebration of the Central PA experience of many different artists. It will run through Sept. 2 at the Art Alliance located on Pike Street in Lemont. The Art Alliance is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays. It’s open from noon to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday.

PSU alumna makes $1 million gift to help liberal arts students From Gazette staff reports UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State alumna Cathy Rein has made a leadership gift with a commitment of $1 million from her estate to the Liberal Arts Career Enrichment Network in the College of the Liberal Arts at Penn State. Her gift will support the network in providing guidance for liberal arts majors on exploring meaningful careers related to their degrees and securing their first job in a challenging marketplace. With initial College funding from Dean Susan Welch, the network has developed comprehensive services that address the unique needs of liberal arts students grappling with questions about future career paths suitable for their degrees and interests. CATHY REIN The latest initiative is the LEAD program, which will help hundreds of students identify business-oriented competencies and develop leadership skills for a competitive edge in the job market. The Leadership Assessment and Professional Development (LEAD) program is a new collaboration between the Network and the Industrial and Organizational Psychology program in the Department of Psychology. Another key goal is to build strong relationships with a wide range of employers
in the fields which liberal arts students pursue, including human resources, marketing, business, publishing, criminal justice, public policy, law, and the non-profit world. Over the next year, the network will be working with liberal arts alumni to establish 100 new internships, expanding its current base. Rein said, “Now more than ever, our nation needs talented graduates who are skilled in communicating clearly, working globally, thinking creatively, and leading ethically. Business and technology training and knowledge are certainly critical skills sought by employers in business and government, but every sector needs workers and managers capable of innovative thinking to keep up with a rapidly changing workplace.” Susan Welch, dean of the College of the Liberal Arts, said, “Thanks to Cathy’s generosity, this gift will allow students in perpetuity to significantly enrich their educational experiences. We’re very grateful for her vision in facilitating career development opportunities for Liberal Arts students through leadership development, internships, and study abroad. Rein, a native of Lebanon, is a 1964 graduate with a major in labor management relations. Her successful corporate career spans leadership roles with The Continental Group Inc., and MetLife, where she served as chief executive officer and president of MetLife’s auto and home insurance company. She retired in 2008 as senior executive vice president and chief administrative officer.
Named a Distinguished Alumna and an Alumni Fellow by Penn State, Rein serves on the executive committee of For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students and chairs the corporate campaign committee. She is a member of the Liberal Arts Development Council and the Laurel Circle of the Mount Nittany Society. The Penn State alumna has generously given back to the College of the Liberal Arts in numerous ways such as graduate fellowships, Trustee Scholarships for undergraduates with financial need, and an endowment supporting student development activities. In addition, she has supported many other programs at the University. Rein is a leading supporter of the current university-wide fundraising effort, For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students. The campaign is directed toward a shared vision of Penn State as the most comprehensive, student-centered research university in America. The University is engaging Penn State’s alumni and friends as partners in achieving six key objectives: ensuring student access and opportunity, enhancing honors education, enriching the student experience, building faculty strength and capacity, fostering discovery and creativity, and sustaining the university’s tradition of quality. The campaign’s top priority is keeping a Penn State degree affordable for students and families. The For the Future campaign is the most ambitious effort of its kind in Penn State’s history, with the goal of securing $2 billion by 2014.

They will be recognized in November at the 36th annual Renaissance Fund dinner, according to John Walizer, president of the fund’s board of directors. Each year, the Renaissance Fund honors an individual or couple who, through a lifetime of service, has contributed greatly to the Penn State and State College communities. In its selection process, the fund’s board of directors seeks to recognize individuals who have deep roots in the Centre Region, close relationships with civic and university leaders, and a commitment to philanthropy. “The Friedmans truly embody the spirit of the Renaissance Fund,” said Walizer. “Through their tireless commitment to the University and to local organizations, they have left a lasting impact on the life of our community and its members.”
