Boalsburg resident a foremost expert on life of Babe Ruth By HARRY ZIMBLER
correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
BOALSBURG — It’s almost time for the Fall Classic, as Major League Baseball’s playoffs continue apace. No single character represents the myths and iconography of baseball than George Herman “Babe” Ruth Jr., also known as “The Sultan of Swat” and “The Bambino.” One of the nation’s premier experts on the life and times of Babe Ruth is Patrick Trimble, of Boalsburg. How does a kid from Erie grow up to be an expert on the life and times of Babe Ruth? “For as long as I remember, I have been a Yankee fan,” said Trimble. “I am fascinated with the history of the game.” And no figure has had more influence on that history than Ruth. Trimble spent a career teaching theater, film, literature and popular arts. “I am interested in the expansion of story,” he said. “All the details of the crazy things that happen in the baseball story. I once interviewed the great (Philadelphia) pitcher Robin Roberts who told me that if HARRY ZIMBLER/For the Gazette you get enough baseball people together, they start lying. THE BABE: This movie poster hangs in the home of Patrick Trimble, of Boalsburg. Like fishermen.” Trimble decided to conduct serious scholarship on baseball. He was inspired to do so by friend Roberta Pearson. “She was a Mets fan and convinced me to focus on Ruth.” Following years of research, the writing of many articles and books on the icon and myth that was Ruth, Trimble found himself invited to many symposiums and conventions to serve as an expert on Ruth’s life and career.

National Down Syndrome Society president visits county By ALEXA LEWIS news@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — Sara Weir, the president of the National Down Syndrome Society, had an interactive and hands-on visit Oct. 19 and 20 in Centre County, where she brought the recent monumental progress in legislation for the disabled into perspective. In an interview in a State College restaurant Oct. 20, right before her flight back to Washington, D.C., Weir talked about the Stephen Beck Jr. Achieving
a Better Life Experience Act — an idea born from a kitchen-table conversation among five parents that would become the first major legislation for the disabled since the 1990 Americans With Disabilities Act. “This has taken a village to pass, but it’s been amazing and it’s a game changer for our families,” said Weir, who was appointed as the national organization’s president in December 2014. Known more commonly as the ABLE Act, the Weir, Page 8

UNIVERSITY PARK — Twentyone-year-old Monica Ten-Kate may seem like your typical college student, but she is a spirit medium with the ability to communicate with those who have crossed over. Her incredible ability is chronicled in the reality TV Show, “Monica the Medium,” which premiered Aug. 25 on ABC Family. Born in Washington, D.C., and raised in a Catholic family, Monica never imagined that one day she would speak to the dead. “I had been intuitive and empathic when I was younger, but it

wasn’t until high school that I really started to notice and sense things around me,” said Monica. “My friends would be telling a story about a deceased loved one and I would hear or see the ending in my head before they were finished telling it.” For fear of looking crazy and in an attempt to fit in, she hid her ability until she came to college. As a communications major at Penn State, Monica started doing readings for complete strangers in the HUB Robeson Center. Word of

STATE COLLEGE — A Penn State student faces felony charges after allegedly breaking into a woman’s apartment and touching her while she slept. Robert Wolfgang, 22, was arrested Oct. 18 after police received a call from the resident of a Beaver Avenue apartment. According to the affidavit of probable cause, the victim told police she woke up to find an unknown man “petting” her arm and “hovering” over her. The victim reportedly told Wolfgang to leave several times, but he would not. Another person in the apartment also reportedly confronted Wolfgang, who provided his name “but appeared highly intoxicated and was unable to engage in conversation,” the affidavit states. Police found Wolfgang on the steps outside the apartment when they arrived several minutes later. He was taken to the
Mount Nittany Medical Center for an alcohol overdose, and reportedly admitted to officers on the way there that “the last thing he remembered was Friday,” which was his 22nd birthday, according to court documents. Wolfgang faces ROBERT felony charges of burWOLFGANG glary and trespassing, as well as a summarylevel harassment charge. Court documents identify him as a California resident, and the Penn State directory lists him as a kinesiology student with a downtown address. — StateCollege.com
Flags stolen from State College VFW STATE COLLEGE — There’s a strange sight in State College. The local Veterans of Foreign Wars post isn’t flying some of its usual flags. But the empty flagpoles aren’t due to a lack of patriotism or support for the military. The flagpoles are bare because someone stole the banners that typically fly above VFW Post 321 on Barnard Street. Police say the VFW reported the flags missing on Oct. 17 at 9 a.m. Although the flags had been proudly flying in their usual spots the day before, they were taken sometime overnight. The American flag, as well as flags for the Army, Navy and Marines,, were all stolen. Another Stars and Stripes banner has been hung above the post, but two of the VFW’s flagpoles are still empty. The VFW is offering a $500 reward for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the people responsible. State College police can be reached at

But State College Police say the three teens didn’t take their cars in for an oil change or an inspection. Instead, they reportedly smashed windows and caused more than $1,000 in property damage. Police say the criminal mischief occurred on Oct. 18 at about 7:30 p.m., when witnesses reported seeing the three teens vandalize the instant oil change station. Two of the suspects were caught on video leaving the Benner Pike Walmart. The first suspect has long, dark hair. He wore a long-sleeved shirt with bold writing, jeans and white sneakers with black laces. The second suspect has shorter, light brown hair.

Borough, PennDOT update council on intersection By ALEXA LEWIS news@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — The borough and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation are coming up with more consolidated solutions to improve the safety of the Atherton Street and Park Avenue intersection — the site of two fatal accidents since last summer. In the Oct. 19 State College Borough Council meeting, council members heard presentations from Police Chief Tom King, Kevin Kline of PennDOT and the borough’s public works director, Mark Whitfield. King provided council with a status report on the camera that PennDOT installed at the Atherton and Park intersection at the request of the police department. While King said that crash incidents have declined over the last few years, since July 2014 three people have been involved in fatal crashes on a one-block stretch of Atherton Street. Most recently, Penn State student Michael Eiben was killed after he was struck by a motor vehicle at the intersection of Curtin Road and North Atherton Street. The police department is still investigating the accident and anticipates its completion in November. In June, local resident Joel Reed was killed while driving his motor scooter when a car turning onto Atherton Street struck him. In July 2014, Penn State student Eva O’Brian was killed from injuries sustained when she was hit jogging across Atherton. King said footage from the PennDOTinstalled camera at the intersection reveals that before students arrived, an average of 276 pedestrians and 177 bicyclists use the intersection over a 12-hour period of time.

During a six-hour period of peak times, 26 pedestrians and 12 bicyclists committed some type of violation. During these same six hours, there was an average of about 18 vehicle violations each day, which include mostly right-onred violations. Twice a day, on average, a car had to either apply its breaks or a pedestrian had to run to avoid a car, King said. “This is one of the most challenging intersections to enforce given the layout of the intersection and the traffic volume,” King said. But, he said that since June officers have conducted enforcement at the intersection on 50 separate days, increasing their enforcement by a total of 80 hours, and have issued 26 traffic citations. The camera is still installed at the intersection and King said his department is going to continue to gather and study now that students have returned for the fall semester. While King and his department continue looking at footage, Whitfield said the borough has already taken measures to make the intersection safer. Some of the actions the borough has taken include removing the time-of-day allowance on the “no turn on red” sign, installing pedestrian countdown signals and painting tracer liners for Park Avenue turning southbound onto Atherton. Whitfield also said that some of the solutions suggested at the July 7 neighborhood meeting, such as creating a pedestrian bridge or a roundabout, adding speed bumps and reducing the speed limit, were further studied and the borough and PennDOT found them unfeasible. Whitfield said that PennDOT would be reluctant to lower the speed limit because

Q&A with county commissioner candidate Todd Kirsten By ALEXA LEWIS news@centrecountygazette.com
BELLEFONTE — As of mid-October, just fewer than 20 percent of registered voters were not affiliated with either of the major parties, but the last time an independent candidate appeared on the ballot for the county’s board of commissioners was in 2007. And, an independent candidate hasn’t actually served as a commissioner since at least 1996, which is when, according to Jodi Neidig, the assistant director of the elections office, the office doesn’t have any records on file prior to. Todd Kirsten, who announced he would run as an independent for county commissioners in April, said he hopes people vote for “the candidate and not the party.” For the last four years, Kirsten has served as one of Halfmoon Township’s supervisors, representing the township on a number of the Centre Region Council of Government’s committees. The Centre County Gazette had the opportunity to chat with Kirsten about his
campaign and what it’s like to run as an independent. CCG: You’re the only county commissioner candidate who’s not affiliated with a major party. What is it like running as an independent candidate in a general election? TODD KIRSTEN Kirsten: It’s been a great experience. Just like any of the other candidates, I’ve met a lot of very nice people that I wouldn’t have met otherwise. … But it’s also been challenging at times, because I don’t have the built-in support the way a Republican or Democrat candidate does. CCG: Why did you decide to run for a seat on the board of commissioners? Kirsten: I ran because I feel very strongly that voters should have options when choosing someone to represent them. I saw that the sample ballot only had four names on it — two Democrats and two
Republicans. There wasn’t going to be any choice for voters because you can vote for two candidates in the primary and there were only two candidates on each ballot. When I saw that, that is definitely when I made the final decision to run. CCG: What are some of the issues in the county that you would address if you were elected? Kirsten: Increasing efficiency in productivity anywhere possible. Health benefits are increasing costs up to 40 percent going into 2016. I know the county has a relatively healthy fund balance at the moment, but I’m not sure how much they are going to have to deplete that fund balance because of the increase in health benefits. … One way to handle costs that I’ve advocated is staff; when there are openings that are voluntary, you evaluate that position to find out if there is an opportunity to possibly not refill that position. CCG: The other candidates spoke about economic development, is that something that is important to you? Kirsten: If we don’t have economic development, we really don’t have anything.
Economic development is the lifeblood of what supports and drives a community, but you can’t simply just say we’re going to throw money at the problem from a county perspective. There are so many different players; it pretty much comes down to everyone working together. CCG: You’re one of two non-incumbent candidates running. What is that like? Kirsten: It can be a double-edged sword. The one side is name recognition. Not a lot of people are aware of who you are, what you’ve done and so getting your name out their and your experience and qualifications out there can be a little bit more difficult. The other side of it is that you’re starting fresh, you’re starting from scratch, people haven’t seen what you’ve done as a county commissioner yet, so there may be chances that they are willing to give you. Kirsten said another major focus of his campaign has been emphasizing that he brings both a new perspective, along with local and regional government experience. “I would be that candidate that would bring the new perspective,” Kirsten said, “but I also have government experience.”
Historic Baylets property goes on auction block By SAMANTHA BASTRESS correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — At the end of this month, a local historical treasure will go to auction. The final piece of the Lewis Baylets estate, formerly owned by the late Phyllis Baylets Shawley, will be auctioned off Friday, Oct. 30. Lewis Baylets established his family’s estate on the land of Jacob Houser, the founder of Houserville, in the late 1860s. Jacob Houser founded Houserville in 1778, making him one of the first major settlers of the Centre County region. One of the original roads in Centre County also passed through Houserville. According to Paul M. Dubbs, author of “Where to Go and Place-Names of Centre County,” Houserville “consisted of
about a dozen houses, a store, blacksmith shop, wagon shop, flour mill, woolen factory, a school house, and two churches” in 1883. The Baylets family was one of the first dozen to settle in the developing town. Virginia Shawley, daughter of Phyllis Baylets Shawley, noted that much of the Baylets extended family lived on the original property. The original property spanned several miles, and even stretched as far as where The Penn Stater Hotel is located today. The last section of the property, which includes a two-story house built in the 1980s and 2.16 acres of land, abuts Penn State farm land, and is only 4 miles from both downtown State College and Beaver Stadium. The contents of the house, which includes numerous antiques and collectibles, will also be sold to the highest bid-

Commissioners table contract for grand jury court reporter service By ALEXA LEWIS news@centrecountygazette.com
BELLEFONTE — County commissioners, during their Oct. 20 meeting, tabled a contract that would provide reporting services for the Centre County grand jury until the district attorney or courts provide a cost estimate of the project. In August, District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller submitted a petition to Centre County Judge Thomas King Kistler to impanel a county investigating grand jury. Parks Miller requested the judge to convene a grand jury to consider what she said is “at least one unsolved murder, and a recent series of other cases the scope of which cannot be determined without the powers granted to a county investigating grand jury.” Kendra Miknis, a Centre County court administrator, asked commissioners in their meeting to approve a contract between the county and Boring Court Reporting Inc. to keep written records of the legal proceedings of the grand jury for a contract term starting Sunday, Nov. 1, and continuing for nearly 14 months through the end of December 2016. Both Chairman Steve Dershem and Vice Chairman Chris Exarchos told Miknis that they would like to have some estimate of the cost of the project to incorporate into the budget for next year before approving the contract. Exarchos said he would like the district attorney or courts to come back to the commissioners with a ball-park estimate Commissioners, Page 8

Trimble, from page 1 “I had a great deal of fun hunting down articles and stories about Ruth. You have to remember that he had the size and swagger to become a hero, especially to kids. He was a big man with a moon face that towered over kids. His size and bombasity made him an attractive figure.” Trimble noted that professional athletes were just becoming popular at the turn of the 20th century. “I wondered why Ruth should be any more popular than Ty Cobb or George Sisler. I think the answer is that Ruth, for the most part, spent his career in New York City. The media was centered in New York. There were 23 newspapers and many magazines in New York. The film industry was located there and radio and television were born there.” Along comes a guy who projects as a larger-than-life figure who seems to enjoy the media and he soon becomes an iconic character. Trimble thinks that Ruth’s salary — much larger than anyone else in the sport — made him an “important” person. It was the commodification of an icon. “Ruth’s talks of his contract were like a rite of spring. It was a grand spectacle. Boston socialites could not believe that Ruth’s wife spent $450 on hats on one day. That was just his style. He once drove a car into a cornfield and decided to give it to the farmer.” Babe Ruth was instrumental in helping to launch the life insurance industry. “That’s what saved him,” Trimble said. “He was a millionaire when he retired.” Trimble calculated the economic impact that Ruth had on the Yankees. “Sunday games alone accounted for thousands of dollars. At that time, the Red Sox did not allow Sunday baseball. They didn’t until 1929.” Another factor in Ruth’s popularity was his appearance on the vaudeville stage. He even convinced the quiet Lou Gehrig to join him. “I always thought that the real Ruth was much smarter

Trimble worked with Saber Metrics on several projects. “I was known as the numbers guy on Ruth,” he said. “I tracked a West Coast barnstorming tour that Ruth did to raise money for pitcher Walter Johnson.” Trimble has had chances to meet many of the writers and scholars who view the sport of baseball the way he does. His favorite scholar is Tim Kurkjian of ESPN. “He has more knowledge of baseball than anyone I know,” Trimble said, “I debated Tim many times on ‘Mike and Mike in the Morning.’” Trimble now serves as an adviser to the Babe Ruth Museum in Baltimore, Ruth’s birthplace. “I have done research for the Baseball Hall of Fame and that’s where I met Bob Ryan, of the Boston Globe. A very nice fellow. “During my research, I found a letter from Ruth to one of his many girlfriends. It said ‘Look sweety, the wife is with me. Signed, The Babe.’ His second wife, Claire, kept a much closer eye on Ruth than his first wife. He always slept in brothels on the road, prompting Bing Bodie to famously say, ‘I don’t room with Ruth. I room with his luggage.’”

Pumpkin Festival draws thousands to Arboretum By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — It’s often said that the show must go on. And, over the weekend of Oct. 16 and 17 at the Arboretum at Penn State, that’s exactly what happened. Despite freezing temperatures, rain, sleet, hail and even a little bit of — gasp! — snow, the arboretum’s annual Pumpkin Festival was held just as in past years. For those fans of Halloween, pumpkin carving and the like, there’s nothing better. This year’s event was a big hit. “It went very well. We were extremely pleased with the attendance considering the weather,” said Kate Reeder, event and marketing coordinator at the arboretum. Ah, the weather. After a couple of years of mild temperatures, Mother Nature tried to spoil the pumpkin party. However, the folks who came out were able to weather the storm. “We had very challenging weather with hail and strong winds. It was mostly during the day on Saturday. Of course, it was wet and colder than the average for this time of year. But we still had several thousand people. We were really pleased. People just bundled up for the weather,” Reeder said. The event began on Oct. 16 with jacko’-lantern registration in the morning at the Overlook Pavillion. It was followed by judging in the afternoon and a lighted jack-o’-lantern display in the evening on
the event lawn. On Oct. 17, the event continued with several family-oriented events. There was scarecrow-making, story-telling, live music and several crafts aimed at keeping children entertained. Reeder said the Pumpkin Festival has become a tradition of sorts. “It certainly is for us. The concept is to make it a wonderful tradition for the families and the students because it’s a community-wide event.” While there are plenty of fall festivals in Centre County, the arboretum’s Pumpkin Festival stands out. “We think it’s unique because the jack-o’-lantern concept is magnified,” said Reeder. “We have a contest which enables seven different age groups to compete for the honor. That’s what it is — an honor — because there’s no prize. It gives people the opportunity to show how they can turn this pumpkin into a creation of some kind.” Pumpkins were judged based on several themes — the arboretum, best traditional jack-o’-lantern face, the best in show and the best Penn State theme. “We’re trying to encourage involvement from all those age groups … especially from the Penn State students. We want them to know that it’s for them as well. They may think, because of the Children’s Garden, that it isn’t for them. But it is. It’s for the entire Centre Region,” Reeder said. That being said, Reeder said that she really enjoyed watching the children make

HUNDREDS OF jack-o’-lanterns were on display at the Arboretum at Penn State over the weekend as the annual Pumpkin Festival took place. the most of a fall weekend — bad weather or not. “Watching the children — seeing them discover the Children’s Garden and finding their friend’s jack-o’-lantern — that’s pretty special.” Reeder also said that other than a few minor changes, the weekend was a won-
derful experience. “We had to move a few things under cover, but it was OK,” she said. “We had an opportunity to show people that the arboretum isn’t just plants and trees. It’s about educating and getting comfortable with the natural world.”
Candidates for register of wills encourage voting By ALEXA LEWIS news@centrecountygazette.com
BELLEFONTE — Amanda McCartney and Christine Millinder, who both are running for register of wills in the Tuesday, Nov. 3, municipal election, would attest to the importance of voting for even the lesser-known county positions. “The register of wills office is a human
service agency that provides for citizens in their time of need,” said McCartney, who holds the Democratic spot on the ballot. “It’s a place where a lot of people may come in a bad time — or a happy time.” Death and marriage are the two extremes the office has to deal with. Its main job is to probate wills and grant letters of administration in the event that a person dies without a will. However, the register

of wills is a dual position that is also responsible for administrative record keeping duties of the Orphans’ Court including issuing marriage licenses, and processing and maintaining guardianship papers for minors and incapacitated individuals. The register is also Pennsylvania’s agent for state inheritance tax collection. Probating wills, petitioning adoptions and terminating parental rights may sound
complicated, and it is. That is why, after the Nov. 3 election, either Millinder or McCartney will be there to help constituents through the process. “We are governed by the statutes that are handed down,” said Millinder about the register’s office, where she has held various positions for the last 28 years.

Medium, from page 1 connected to the spirit that is trying to come through. “I sometimes have trouble breathing. I get a little flushed in the face. I feel the energy come through and I know that someone is here. I can feel it,” TenKate said. She understands that there are skeptics, and if she didn’t experience this firsthand as a medium, she would be one, too. “It’s hard for people to wrap their heads around how this is even possible, but because I am the one experiencing this, I know that this is a spirit coming through and all I can do is share my gift with those who are open to receiving to help bring them peace, closure, comfort and healing.” When asked about her thoughts about death and the afterlife, she said, “Growing up in a Catholic family, I have always
believed in heaven, and although I don’t place myself in a specific religion, I am more spiritual now than I have ever been because of what I do. How can I not be? I have spirits coming through every day communicating how they are so happy in this beautiful place and they are at peace. So, I am not afraid of dying because I know that everything will be okay. There is life after death and it’s a beautiful place. I call it heaven, but you can call it whatever it is for you.” Some of the most powerful and memorable readings for Ten-Kate have been those with people who have lost a child. In the “Monica the Medium” season finale, airing Tuesday, Oct. 27, at 8 p.m., she will be doing her first group reading with mothers who have lost children. It will be a very emotional session, with a lot of healing messages.

AMANDA “You always have MCCARTNEY to be prepared to greet the citizens effectively,” McCartney said. “I believe it’s very important for the taxpayer to see the elected officials.”
“There are so many laws we need to know to be able to provide the functions of this office.” Millinder said what some people do not realize is that political party affiliation is not of much importance for this position, but that should not deter voters. She said knowing the ropes of the register of wills job is what is important, and she hopes voters take that into account at the polls. Millinder, who is the current chief deputy register of wills, has put emphasis throughout her campaign on her experience with the office. She said that acting as the register of wills while her boss, Kimberly Barton, the current register of wills, is on medical leave has given her the experience to continue holding the job for another four years. Earlier this year, Barton announced that she would not seek another term as register, a position she has held since 2005. “That’s what voters are looking at. They are looking at hiring someone who knows the job like the back of their hand,” Millinder said. McCartney has not had the same opportunity as Millinder to act as the reg-

of the project’s cost so that taxpayers can have a better idea of what the county is getting into. “When it comes to budgets and numbers, the fewer assumptions, the better we are,” Exarchos said. Dershem said the contract should include a “not-toexceed” amount, but that down the road commissioners could pass an addendum to modify the contract if the cost of the project changes. While Miknis said she anticipated the commissioners’ responses, she said it is hard to give a cost estimate on court reporting. “It is difficult to put an exact number of the specific court reporting because you don’t know the number of pages that are going to come out of any given court proceeding,” Miknis said. While Commissioner Michael Pipe followed along with the other two commissioners in tabling the contract, he said the estimate doesn’t change the fact that the county will have to fund a court reporting staff if a grand jury convenes. “I don’t think we can even say, ‘Well, we are going to cap you at $5,000.’ The services are going to have to occur,” Pipe said. “I’m just trying to figure out what we will gain from having a budget.” Exarchos agreed that it is difficult for the commissioners to control the costs related to the grand jury and that it is up to the DA if she wants to proceed, but he suggested looking at costs from grand juries in other counties in the state to come up with a better idea of the costs. “One of the challenges with the relationship between the judiciary and the commissioners’ office is that we look at dollars; we try to be very conscious of how we are spending our taxpayers money,” Pipe said. “From the judicial side, not that they are not conscious of that, but they are more interested in the best administration of justice, and those sometimes will have a little bit of friction.”
bill that President Barack Obama signed into law on Dec. 19, 2014, after it passed with considerable bipartisan support in both the House and Senate, allows people with disabilities to open tax-free savings accounts to pay for expenses from health care to housing and education. Prior to this act, people with disabilities not limited to Down syndrome had to have $2,000 or less in liquid assets to avoid having their federal assistance, such as Supplemental Security Income and Medicaid benefits, suspended. “This act will allow individuals with disabilities to start thinking about things like having a job, going to school and not be bound by the $2,000 limitation without losing medical access and their Social Security income, which is vital to some of these families, particularly in our area,” said Raquel Ross, president of Centre County Down Syndrome Society. On Oct. 19, Weir gave a presentation on the ABLE Act and how family members can actually use the accounts to an audience of about 60 people, including family members, educators and service providers. Ross said Weir’s presentation helped not only the families, but also the service providers and educators in attendance better understand how they can utilize the act in the local community. “If our employers in our area know about this act and they know about the success of it, then they can start to think about individuals with disabilities in a whole different light,” she said. For the last several years, Weir has led the NDSS’s efforts to push for Congress to pass the bill. She is now involved in pushing for state legislation, because each state has to pass its own legislation to actually create and administer the savings program. The NDSS has helped 35 states pass their own bills, according to Weir. After passing the Pennsylvania State Senate last week, the House Finance Committee is in the process of reviewing the bill. “Hopefully it will go through the House and move to the governor for his signature,” Weir said. Ross and her colleague Beth Keim, who is the CCDSS secretary, both said Weir’s visit coincided well with October being Down Syndrome Awareness Month and served as a lead into the organization’s largest fundraising event, which it is holding at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, at Medlar Field. “Our Buddy Walk is our big fundraiser that we do. It’s to raise awareness and advocacy and to educate people about Down syndrome but it’s also to bring families together,” Keim said. It is these grassroots efforts that Weir said are so important in getting bills like the ABLE Act passed nationally and on the state level.

This year could also be one of the largest Buddy Walks that the CCDSS has held, with the organization anticipating about 300 to 400 individuals coming out for the event. Even though Weir’s visit was a great lead into the local organization’s fundraising event, it also had a lot of give and take. She said she learned a lot from the adults in the community with Down syndrome who she met during her two-day trip to Centre County. Weir’s planned-out schedule of events in the area included visits with LifeLink PSU, a program for local special-needs students ages 18 to 21, and a tour of Easter Seals, which also provides programs and services to people with disabilities and their families. “One of my favorite parts of my jobs is going out meeting with organizations and meeting with self-advocates and parents,” Weir said. “It’s my favorite part of the job to meet folks like Raquel and Beth who are just doing amazing things here locally.”

A wake-up call for gun dealers By The Los Angeles Times In a case watched across the nation, a Milwaukee jury last week awarded nearly $6 million in damages to two police officers shot and gravely wounded in the line of duty six years ago. The defendants were the owners of a gun shop that sold the handgun used in the crime, despite clear evidence that the buyer was ineligible to make the purchase. Why is this significant? A decade ago, the National Rifle Association’s water carriers in Congress adopted the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which shielded the entire firearms industry from most liability lawsuits. The law was a response to efforts by cities and shooting victims to hold the gun industry responsible for the grotesque damage caused by the use of their products. The Milwaukee case is one of only two lawsuits against gun dealers that have reached a jury since then. Both cases invoked a provision of the act that lifts protections from gun dealers if they violate federal gun-sales laws. In the first case, decided this year in Alaska, jurors absolved a gun dealer of liability after finding that it had legally sold a rifle later used to kill someone. The Milwaukee jury, though, found ample evidence that the store clerk and the shop’s owners violated federal laws in a transaction captured by the store’s surveillance system. The video shows Julius Burton, who at 18 was three years younger than the minimum legal age to buy a handgun, pointing out to an older colleague which gun he wanted and helping him fill out forms. The clerk also helped: When the older man checked a box saying that he wasn’t buying the gun for himself, the clerk let him change it. The owners separately testified that they didn’t train workers, had not themselves read federal gun sale regulations and didn’t know what information was required on federal gun-selling forms. The defendants’ lawyer said he plans to appeal, so who knows where this will end up. But the case at least shows that bad-actor gun dealers can still be held responsible, notwithstanding the unconscionably excessive legal protections that the 2005 act provides. The Milwaukee officers’ success may embolden other victims to target the worst of the offenders. That may not do much to cull the herd of gun dealers, but it might lead them to pay more attention to the laws under which they’re suppose to operate.

The Bob-and-Weaving-Moron: This is the driver who thinks his/her lane is moving too slowly and MUST change lanes, often without so much as a signal. This is a relative of the driver who will pass you like you’re standing still. I’ve seen this driver very often on the 322 Bypass and Interstate 80. 6. The I-Can-Text-And-Drive Moron: I have run into this manner of idiot quite often. Actually, it would be more accurate to say they have run into me. Sitting at a red light, I was rear-ended by a moron who was actually looking down at his phone as he plowed into my vehicle. Many times it’s a young teenage boy or girl who thinks they can multitask while driving. Listen up dopes: You can’t! So put the phone down and drive your car, realizing that you are responsible for a dangerous hunk of metal that can kill. The various local police departments do their best to cut down on driving while impaired. Now they need to crack down on bad driving. Really bad driving. Moronic driving.

Pregnancy and infant loss is a painful reality for many HERSHEY — For most, pregnancy is a joyful time of anticipation of the arrival of a child. Unfortunately for some, the arrival is of painful loss. Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, observed on Oct. 15, honors those affected and remembers the infants lost to miscarriage, stillbirth and death as a newborn. Dr. Jaimie Maines, an obstetrician/gynecologist at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, estimates that 10 percent of all clinically recognized pregnancies end in miscarriage, with about 80 percent occurring during the first trimester. Half of these losses are attributed to fetal chromosomal abnormalities. “This is important to discuss with patients, as one of the first responses of a pregnant mother who learns of her miscarriage is one of guilt in assuming that she must have done something wrong to cause the loss,� Maines said. The most common risk factors for pregnancy loss, especially first trimester miscarriage, include advanced maternal age and a prior history of early pregnancy loss. The rate of early pregnancy miscarriage doubles to 40 percent at age 40 and increases to almost 80 percent at age 45. Other risk factors include uterine anomalies, chronic maternal medical conditions and tobacco use. Common myths about the causes of miscarriage include consuming a small amount of caffeine, exercising, engaging in intercourse during pregnancy and working long hours. “It is important to educate patients that miscarriage is often caused by factors that are outside of the mother’s control and that there is little that can be done to prevent a miscarriage,� she said. Maines encourages pregnant patients

to follow a healthy diet, avoid tobacco use and take a prenatal vitamin with folic acid to help support a healthy pregnancy. Pregnancy loss before 20 weeks gestation is considered a miscarriage and loss beyond 20 weeks is considered a stillbirth. Stillbirths in the United States occur in about three out of 1,000 births. The most common risk factors associated with stillbirth include infants of parents of black heritage, advanced maternal age and obesity. A mother’s chronic medical condition can also be a factor in stillbirth along with additional circumstances such as fetal growth restriction, placental abnormalities and fetal genetic abnormalities. “Regardless of the timing of the pregnancy loss, emotional support of the patient is necessary,� Maines said. Patients should receive information about bereavement counselors with the understanding that they may not wish to seek support immediately after a pregnancy loss. “Both the patient and her physician should understand that not everyone will handle the news of pregnancy loss in the same way,� Maines said. Feelings of guilt, anger and sadness are common, but some parents become disconnected, so follow up care should be made available and discussions regarding recurrence in future pregnancies should be had when the patient is ready to engage in this topic. “Patients may find some comfort in knowing that a large percentage of women go on to have healthy pregnancies following miscarriage or stillbirth,� Maines said. An evaluation for pregnancy loss is generally not suggested until after a second

J.C. Blair to host Pink Day luncheon HUNTINGDON — J.C. Blair Memorial Hospital in Huntingdon will host the third annual Cindy Taylor Memorial Wear Pink Day Luncheon featuring the program, “One Life, One Body: Taking Care Of It” at noon Friday, Oct. 30, in the Ellis Hall Ballroom at Juniata College. The featured speaker will be Janette Poppenberg, cocreator of the DVD “Strength & Courage: Exercises for Breast Cancer Survivors.” Tickets are $10 and must be purchased in advance at either the J.C. Blair Volunteer Information Desk or through Lorri Shideler at Juniata College. Poppenberg, a certified cancer exercise trainer and exercise physiologist, received her Bachelor of Science degree from Penn State. She is certified by the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Cancer Society. She has extensive fitness training experience working directly with breast cancer survivors. While working with Dr. Sharon Cowden, a pediatrician and breast cancer survivor, the duo developed the “Strength & Courage” DVD to help breast cancer survivors return to the active life they had before breast cancer. Through stretching, weight training and aerobic exercise, survivors can regain strength to retake control of their lives. Since its initial distribution in 2007, more than 20,000 copies of the program have been distributed in all 50 U.S. states and in 23 other countries. “Strength and Courage” has become a highly recommended rehabilitation resource for breast cancer survivors. A Spanish version will soon be available. Poppenberg currently teaches “Living Life Post-Cancer Treatment,” which is a nine-week free program for adult survivors of any cancer diagnosis. Additionally, she is beginning research with breast cancer survivors from the UPMC LiveWell Survivorship Program on the effects of exercise on survival, and is co-authoring a chapter in the new American College of Sports Medicine textbook on exercise testing and exercise prescription for special populations and the chapter on cancer. In addition to the luncheon program, raffle tickets will be sold for a variety of prizes and the Cindy Taylor Memorial Softball Tournament proceeds will be presented to the Alliance for Breast Care at J.C. Blair. For more information about the luncheon, call (814) 643-8833.

PSU alumnus builds broadcasting career with WWE By STEVE SAMPSELL Special to The Gazette
UNIVERSITY PARK — Millions of television viewers across the world see Tom Phillips at work each week. He’s polished and prepared — a true professional. He’s seen on a variety of programs on WWE Network, including “WWE Main Event,” and previously served as the youngest announcer, at age 25, in “SmackDown!” history. In his roles, Phillips describes action on the shows and related storylines for viewers, whom he unfailingly refers to as members of the “WWE Universe.” Additionally, he makes a striking impression with dark, well-trimmed hair and designer suits. Most impressive, while at work in front of thousands of fans in often-raucous arenas, with action playing out before him and behind-the-scenes producers providing direction and information through his earpiece, he nimbly balances all the distractions and keeps broadcasts on track. In his role, Phillips travels about five days a week, all over the world with the multimillion-dollar World Wrestling Entertainment troupe. He provides content for a variety of WWE programing and special events, and previously served as on-air host for a successful weekly social media series. When he’s not in front of the camera or preparing for assignments, he’s still at work. True days off seem rare. “It may sound cliché, but I watch the WWE Network constantly. It could be matches from 1991, 1970 or as recently as 2010. I just like to listen to the ways commentary has changed through the years,” he said. “On commentary, we try to really bring what’s happening to life. So you have to know the product, the superstars and history. It’s not always easy. “At first it was like trying to learn Chinese and having no knowledge of how to speak Chinese. The difficult thing was
finding my own voice, and it feels like I’m competing with myself every week to get better.”
IN GOOD COMPANY
He’s figured that out pretty well, though. With his WWE position, Phillips — the stage name for Tom Hannifan, 26, who earned his Penn State journalism degree in 2011 — ranks as one of the more accomplished and visible young alumni from the College of Communications. Earning an opportunity, and praise, as a WWE commentator puts Hannifan in good company. Many talented sports broadcasters and producers have collaborated or worked with WWE at some point during their careers. That includes on-air talent like Jonathan Coachman and Todd Grisham, both now at ESPN, and John Filippelli, president of the YES Network, who previously worked for ABC Sports, Fox Broadcasting and, briefly, WWE. In addition, WWE broadcasts rely on state-of-the-art mobile production facilities built by companies such as Pittsburghbased NEP Broadcasting, which has included a strong contingent of Penn State alumni through the years. “What he’s doing is extremely challenging. I would say if you can broadcast sports entertainment efficiently that you could transfer those skills into virtually any other televised entity,” said Jim “JR” Ross, a pro wrestling/sports entertainment commentator for 40 years who was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007. His ongoing relationship with WWE includes work with the organization’s talent development efforts. That’s where he first met Hannifan in 2012. “He’s a low-maintenance, hard-working kid,” Ross said. “He came with a good work ethic and an obvious desire to be good. I think that’s a testament to his upbringing and his education at Penn State. He’s got a great look, works hard and his

PERSONABLE AND PENN STATE PROUD
He started with WWE’s developmental unit, NXT, based in Winter Park, Fla. He developed relationships with in-ring talent and learned how to do his job and how to help them tell a story. There’s an important element of trust that comes with such a relationship because a good commentator can help wrestlers enhance their status as “face” (good guy) or “heel” (villain). Hannifan’s likeable personality (something ComRadio general manager Jeff Brown said made him popular and productive as an undergraduate) served him well while solidifying those relationships and building his own skill set. Beyond describing action, Hannifan sets a tone for broadcasts and promotes everything from
upcoming TV segments to future WWE events. Of all that has changed with his job, the one thing that has remained the same has been his sincerity. He’s dutiful, and really well practiced, about promoting the sports entertainment business, but he’s not giving anyone the business when he talks about his alma mater or family. On those topics his passion is obvious. “When I learned that the WWE Network was in 175 countries, that was a little intimidating. Honestly, though, what’s more important to me is that my grandparents are in their 80s and they can tune in and see their grandson,” he said. It’s at that point when his voice trails off, followed by a moment to collect his thoughts. Hannifan then continued, a little more quietly. “ … And that my parents and my girlfriend and friends can see me. The fact that I can connect with that many people that love and care about me, it gets me very emotional.” Even with his mom and brother preceding him, Hannifan was not a lock to attend Penn State — especially when he was accepted at Penn State Altoona instead of his preferred University Park location. A bit of flexibility by Brown and ComRadio, along with Hannifan’s usual dose of motivation, sealed the deal though. “I got accepted to Penn State Altoona, but I was able to participate in ComRadio because nobody prevented me from driving back and forth to main campus to do shows or for meetings. That opportunity was the sole reason I came to Penn State, and I came with a bit of an ego, too,” Hannifan said. “Still, there was support for whatever I wanted to aspire to do. “I told myself I want to be the greatest broadcasting alumnus Penn State has ever had. That’s a really tall task, but I pursue that every single day. It’s beyond important for me to represent my school and my family.”

Purple Heart recipients enjoy weekend in Miles Twp. By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
REBERSBURG — The Fox Gap and Gravel Spring Rod and Gun Clubs, both located in Miles Township near Rebersburg, recently hosted a Wounded Warriors Weekend sponsored by the Wounded Warriors in Action Foundation. WWIA was established in 2007 and is headquartered in Apollo Beach, Fla. It is a national public charity that, according to its website, devotes its energy and resources to supporting men and women wounded in combat who were awarded the Purple Heart. The foundation supports these heroes by providing them with the opportunity to participate in outdoor sporting activities in small groups over the course of two to three days to encourage independence and connections with communities, as well as promote healing and wellness through camaraderie and a shared passion for the outdoors. The Fox Gap event included a trap shoot on Oct. 16, a bird hunt on Oct. 17 and fishing at the lake at Penns Cave on Oct. 18. “This is our fourth year for this event,” said organizer Sandy Deveney, a Vietnam-era veteran and WWIA member. Seven veterans participated in the event — two from Florida, two from Michigan, one from New Jersey and two from Pennsylvania. All costs associated with the weekend, from when the veterans leave their homes until they return, are paid by WWIA. In addition to the shooting, hunting and fishing, the veterans were treated to meals of steaks, crabcakes, sausages and more during the weekend and they slept in the Gravel Spring club’s building, which can accommodate nearly 30 people. Deveney said that most of the money and food for the

Turkey Trot 5K to benefit St. Joseph’s By CONNIE COUSINS correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
BOALSBURG — This year’s Boalsburg Turkey Trot 5K, scheduled for 9 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 26, supports the crosscountry and track and field teams of St. Joseph’s Catholic Academy and Friends of the Pennsylvania Military Museum. On Thanksgiving morning, participants can follow bike paths and winding neighborhood routes near Mount Nittany elementary and middle schools. The family-oriented race begins and ends at the Pennsylvania Military Museum, 51 Boal Ave. St. Joseph’s, located at 901 Boalsburg Pike, has a mission that is built around four pillars: faith, scholarship, leadership and service. The teachers and coaches at St. Joseph’s believe they are doing more than just educating — they are preparing leaders from this generation. They are setting standards that will assist students as they face and embrace their community responsibilities in the future. At St. Joseph’s, students study a rigorous college-prep curriculum, with honors and AP courses as well as languages, theology and engineering. Strong work ethics are stressed. As for the faith pillar, the students celebrate mass together and share faith through campus ministry and
an emphasis on making decisions in the context of faith. The teachers and coaches are dedicated to backing events that will foster community
support and understanding. Jayson Jackson, coach of crosscountry and track at SJCAD, said that this is the third year for the Turkey Trot Race. “The first year there were 230 or so participants and last year there were 290,” Jackson said. Jackson grew up in Greensburg and graduated from Penn State with a degree in math and computer science and a minor in psychology. “I came to State College and never left. I appreciate the community support
with these fundraisers. Being a new school, the money we raise helps us to do what we can with our team, like travel to our meets,” he said. Some, but not all, of the race’s sponsors include Nittany Valley Running Club, Pennsylvania Military Museum, Reese Engineering, Jersey Mike’s, Mayes Memorials, Lipzer.com and Vantage Investment. There is still time to register and you can do that online at the website, www.stjoeacad. org/2015turkeytrot, or print out a paper application. Applications also are available at Dick’s Sporting Goods or the YMCAs. Commemorative T-shirts are only guaranteed for those who register by Friday, Nov. 6. Race packets will be available for pickup on the day of the event from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. at the registration table. Also, St. Joseph’s parent Kathryn Peters, who is helping with the Turkey Trot, mentioned that a basketball skills clinic, for girls in third through sixth grades, will be hosted by St. Joe’s Sunday, Nov. 15, at the school’s gymnasium.

Classic car auction draws crowd to Grange Fairgrounds By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
CENTRE HALL — If you love classic American cars, the Grange Fairgrounds was the place to be on Oct. 17, as 15 cars from the collection of the late Ed Temple were auctioned off in the equine arena. Temple was a local businessman who loved restoring old cars. His collection included cars from the 1950s and 60s, as well as a rare 1932 Ford Model B roadster and a 1930 Chevrolet sedan. Auctioneer Mike Dilliard said Internet bidding on the cars began earlier this month. “We had bids from 39 states and from Germany.” First on the auction block at noon was a maroon and black 1932 Ford Model B roadster. The Model B was only made for one year, making it a rare find, especially in pristine condition. Temple’s roadster came complete with a rumble seat and a pair of cloth side curtains which snapped onto the cloth top, since roadsters of the day had no glass side windows. Bidding escalated quickly, and the car sold to an Internet bidder for $41,000. A nicely restored 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible was next, selling for $33,000. Temple’s collection included four Chevy Nomad station wagons — a 1957 model, and three 1955s, which drew many bids. The Nomad was a sporty, two-door wagon made from 1955 to 1957, and they are very sought after today. Dan Workman, a 39-year car sales veteran was bidding on a clean, blue-andwhite ‘55 model to use for advertising at his dealership in Pleasant Gap, but bowed out when the bidding got beyond his range. Two drag race cars were in the collection — a 1952 Kaiser Henry J sedan and a 1957 Chevy hardtop. “That ’57 has E.T.
(elapsed time) slips from Beaver Springs in the glovebox,” said Workman. “He (Temple) actually raced it.” The ’57 sold for a bargain price of $8,000.
One by one, the classic cars rolled through the auction block, and all of them acquired new owners. Some large metal Gulf and Mobilgas signs and other auto-

Centre Foundation to hold celebration dinner STATE COLLEGE — Centre Foundation invites the community to join them in celebrating a year of inspiration during the organization’s annual dinner Wednesday, Oct. 28, at the Nittany Lion Inn. The evening will include the announcement of this year’s recipient of the $100,000 Centre Inspires grant, as well as an update on the 2014 Centre Inspires grant recipient, “Book Benches of Centre County.” The evening’s keynote address will be made by Sandra “Sandy” Keiser Edwards, who has deep ties to both the arts and the local community. “There are so many things that our community has to be proud of, so we’re looking forward to celebrating our 2015 accomplishments with the community who not only has made it all possible, but is also enjoying the fruits of their labor,” said Molly Kunkel, executive director of Centre Foundation. Last year, Centre Inspires launched as a new granting program that encouraged people to collaborate in a way that could transform an aspect of Centre County and touch as many people’s lives as possible. The first year’s initiative was focused on community engagement through the arts. The grant was awarded to “Book Benches of Centre County,” put forward by a team from SPE Federal Credit Union and Child Development & Family Council of Centre County. Twenty-five fiberglass benches in the shapes of open books will soon be found throughout Centre County. “Artists listened to community members extol the unique virtues of their towns during community meetings held throughout the county,” explained Tracy Carey, grants and scholarship coordinator at Centre Foundation. “Local artists drew their inspiration from these meetings to paint murals on to the benches, each one telling a story of Centre County.” “There is a bench in Philipsburg that features scenes of its coal and textile industries’ history,” said Ann Walker, executive administrator of CDFCCC. “Another bench playfully combines many of the participants and attractions of Arts Fest.” Some of the benches will be on display during the dinner’s reception. For more information and pictures, visit the Book Benches of Centre County’s Facebook page. “This has been a very exciting project to watch come to life,” said Kunkel. “We’ve enjoyed having a few benches temporarily occupy our office this summer. They are the first thing visitors notice and they can’t wait to get a closer look.” The 2015 Centre Inspires granting program is focused on community engagement though health and human services. After a rigorous selection process, two proposals have arrived at the final round. The announcement of which one will receive the $100,000 grant will be made at the annual dinner. “This process has allowed organizations and community members to all come to the table together in order to think creatively about a topic, form partnerships and work on meaningful collaborations for the benefit of our entire community,” explained Kunkel. “Beyond the announcement, facilitating this process and providing the space for this type of conversation has been so rewarding and inspiring.” The finalists’ proposals are entitled “Food Centres” and “Open Streets.”

“Food Centres” is being put forward by New Leaf Initiative, with many partner organizations. The proposal aims to make healthy, local food accessible to all Centre County residents. Retro-fitted shipping containers will hold cold-storage units for fresh produce. The proposal outlines the plan for three of these mobile Food Centres to be located throughout the county at places where there can also be programming space for things such as kids’ cooking classes and farm-to-table workshops. Volunteers will collect extra food from farms, grocery stores and restaurants to store in the cold-storage units in order to allow local relief organizations to distribute the reclaimed food to their clients. “Open Streets” is a proposal of Centre Bikes, which also has several partner organizations. This proposal’s goal is to foster healthy, active options for the whole family while reclaiming a public resource — our streets. A global trend, this idea would potentially find a 1-mile section of downtown State College closed to vehicles for a half day of community activity; more compact versions of this idea would occur in outlying communities. Open Street events would be open to all types of activity: walking, running, biking, yoga, dance, flash-mob productions and other creative activities. “Each of these proposals offers a way for Centre County to transform an aspect of life for its residents in a healthy manner,” said Carey. “With ideas, volunteers and partner organizations like these, our county’s future is very exciting.” Tying the evening together is Sandra Keiser Edwards, the keynote speaker. Better known as “Sandy,” she innately understands the impact of community engagement and how it can transform an area. Edwards is especially knowledgeable and passionate about the way the arts can touch a community in meaningful ways, intellectually, culturally and economically. A former Penn State fundraiser for the Office of Development and part of the management team that launched Penn State’s World Campus, Edwards was a member of the local community for many years in the 1990s. Many people remember her work with WPSU and her passion for the arts. Prior to her time at Penn State, Edwards promoted major concerts, presented performing arts and was an arts administrator. After her work at Penn State, followed by time at the University of Arkansas’ development office, Edwards became the deputy director at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, which was founded by the Walton Family Foundation in Bentonville, Ark., and opened to the
public in late 2011. The museum’s permanent collection is free to the public and the museum’s grounds provide a beautiful outdoor reprieve. “Sandy can tell you firsthand what an impact Crystal Bridges has had on the people of northwest Arkansas, not just culturally, but also making the area a destination and economic driver,” explained Irene Miller, development and events coordinator at Centre Foundation. “The Book Benches and future Centre Inspires projects can have that same impact in our community.” For more information or to RSVP for the annual dinner, contact Miller at irene@centre-foundation.org or call (814) 237-6229.

NEXT YEAR, Restek employees will be able to use a soon-to-be-built wellness center.
Restek breaks ground on employee wellness center BELLEFONTE — Restek employees ceremoniously broke ground Oct. 14 on a new 17,000-square-foot wellness center, located on the company’s property in Penn Eagle Industrial Park, Bellefonte. The center, which the company hopes to be using by April 2016, will offer employees and their families year-round recreational activities, including indoor soccer, basketball, yoga and spinning. Restek president Bryan Wolcott said focusing on the health and well-being of its employees is the key to the company’s continued success. “This project is not about a building — this is the beginning of a new era for Restek where we are able to increase our focus
on health and wellness. By offering these benefits to employees and their families, we envision a greater energy, productivity and quality of life,” Wolcott said. The new facility also supports the business by providing a large indoor space where employees can gather for company meetings and events, and has been designed to provide work space in the event of an emergency. The facility is an extension of the wellness program created by Restek founder Paul Silvis in the late 1980s with just a universal weight machine and punching bag. In 2004, Restek hired its first full-time wellness coordinator, and in 2005, the official Restek Wellness Program was introduced.

Millheim festival promotes fiber arts life cycle By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
MILLHEIM — The second Millheim Fiber Festival will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, in the Bremen Town Ballroom on Main Street. The festival will showcase more than a dozen fiber vendors and a “sit and knit” location. Other events will be scattered throughout the Millheim community, beginning with a live sheep petting zoo at the Millheim Farmers Market at noon. There will be a spinning demonstration at the Green Drake Art Gallery from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., a special activity for children at the IngleBean Coffee House at 12:30 p.m., and various other demonstrations during the festival. According to event organizer Kim Bierly, a goal of the show’s co-sponsors — Ecovents in Millheim and Main Street Yarn in Rebersburg — is to promote the life cycle of fiber arts, from the farmers who raise sheep and other fiber animals, to the yarn spinners, to the artisans who create crafts and clothing. Bierly said there are many people in the area involved with spinning yarn, weaving, knitting and crocheting, and that most similar festivals are held in distant locations, which involves travel and lodging expenses. She and Erin McCracken organized last year’s inaugural Fiber Festival to provide a show for local residents. Vendors at this year’s show will include Main Street Yarn, Bald Eagle Valley Alpaca Ranch, Lazy O Ranch, Tamarack Farm, Unplanned Peacock, Vintage Scraps and Skeins, Gurdy Run Mills, Flying Fibers and Aisling Yarns. A knitted scarf will already be started and will serve as an invitation to sit and knit a bit on the community project. In 2005, the Penns Valley Area Knitters began its charity project to “keep our neighbors warm” and annually donates more than 100 handmade items. There also will be a

PENN STATE VS. MARYLAND ■ TIME: 3:30 P.M.
■
TV: ESPN
Penn State hopes for different result this week as it heads to Maryland By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH UNIVERSITY PARK — The black-out crowd at Ohio State on Oct. 17 wasn’t really dressed in all black, and the Penn State 38-10 loss to the No. 1 Buckeyes wasn’t really all bad. The Nittany Lions had their chances. There was a called-back touchdown because of a holding call — and it was holding — two unsuccessful fourth-down attempts, and the obligatory controversial call on a Braxton Miller reception that sustained OSU’s first touchdown drive. That’s not to say that Penn State would have been able to hang with OSU even if those things would have gone the other way. After all, Ohio State ran up 429 yards of offense and scored three quick touchdowns in the second quarter to take control of the game. Ezekiel Elliott ran for 157 yards and a touchdown, and Penn State didn’t have an answer for J.T. Barrett, who added another 106 yards running and accounted for four touchdowns. Yet true freshman Saquon Barkley ran 26 times for 184 yards, and his called-back touchdown run would have given Penn State a two-score lead. Penn State, according to head coach James Franklin, didn’t have all the elements to play the kind of grind-it-out, field-position game that it needed to play at the Horseshoe, including the punter. Maybe especially the punter, which is a position that Franklin said, perhaps not facetiously, he is opening for tryouts. Nevertheless, the final was 38-10, but even if the Lions had lost in the last second by one point, they would still be in the same position at this point going into Week 8 — with a 5-2 record and traveling to Maryland for a now very important game against the Terrapins. Maryland is 2-4 this season, 0-2 in the Big Ten and in a bit of turmoil itself. After the 49-28 loss to Ohio State on Oct. 10, the university dismissed head coach Randy Edsall and named Mike Locksley as interim head coach. Locksley has been at
Maryland a total of 10 years after being an assistant from 1997 to 2002 and then returning to the Terps after the 2011 season. As offensive coordinator in 2014, Locksley led the Maryland offense to an average of 28.5 points per game, the most in four seasons. So far this season, Maryland has wins over Richmond (50-21) and South Florida (35-17), both at home, but the Terps have lost to Bowling Green (48-27), West Virginia (45-6), Michigan (28-0) and Ohio State. In the Ohio State game, Perry Hills took over the full-time duties at quarterback, and he had an impressive game. Hills ran 25 times for 170 yards and two touchdowns and completed 10 of 27 passes for 133 yards and a touchdown. Maryland tied the OSU game at 21 early in the third quarter on a 4-yard run by Hills, but the Buckeyes scored 28 unanswered points and pulled away for the win. Still, Maryland put up just fewer than 400 yards of offense against the Buckeyes, but the Terps were hurt by two interceptions and nine penalties. Ross Brandon, and now Hills, are the leading rushers for Maryland. Brandon has 80 attempts for 453 yards and two touchdowns, and Hills has 325 yards on 36 attempts. Caleb Rowe started the first three games at quarterback for UM, but Hills has

taken over and started the last three. Hills completed 37 of 78 passes this season for 439 yards and five touchdowns. He has thrown four interceptions. Maryland has four receivers — Levern Jacobs, D.J. Moore, Avery Edwards and Taivon Jacobs — with more than 100 yards, with Jacobs leading with 222 yards on 22 catches and two scores. It has been on defense where Maryland has been hurt the most this season. UM gives up an average of 34 points per game and 457 yards, including 260 yards passing per game and 14 touchdowns. Opponents scored 167 points against Maryland in its four losses. The game is scheduled for M & T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, and it shapes up to be a pivotal one for Penn State. Last season, on a cold and blustery day at Beaver Stadium, Maryland did not want to shake hands before the game, and the Terps were not very friendly during the game either. They held Penn State to 42 net yards rushing, sacked Christian Hackenberg five times, and allowed Penn State to convert only six of 20 third-down situations. With three lost Penn State fumbles, an interception and a bad punt that set up a short field for Maryland’s final drive, all the elements were present for a disheartening 20-19 PSU loss in the final seconds. The good news is that things are different coming into this game compared to last season. Barkley and Lynch returned to the backfield at OSU, and Barkley adds a dimension to the running game that the Lions did not have in 2014. Also, Hackenberg attempted only 13 passes against Ohio State, but there look to be more and better chances through the air against the Terp defense. The bad news is that Hills is a dangerous option quarterback who can strike from anywhere. Penn State has had problems with this kind of player all season — all the way back to Temple’s P.J. Walker and through to J.T. Barrett at OSU — so he will present major problems for the PSU defenders. The keys will be to limit Hills chances and make him put it up and perhaps take advantage of some errant passes. It may be significant that Maryland is coming off a bye week in which it could acclimatize to a new head coach, but it will be far more important for Penn State to shake off last week and clearly focus on getting to 6-2.

The good, the bad and the ugly: Strong start, disappointing end UNIVERSITY PARK — That did not turn out well. The Penn State Nittany Lions started strong but quickly fizzled in a 38-10 drubbing at the hands of Ohio State during a primetime game at the Horseshoe on Oct. 17. The Nittany Lions entered the game as 17½-point underdogs and wound up losing by 28. The Lions hung in there for a good portion of the first quarter and actually held a 3-0 lead early on. But things quickly fell apart. As is often the case in a lopsided loss, there was plenty of good, bad and ugly to go around. Let’s take a closer look at the game: ■ The good — Saquon Barkley. What can you say about this kid? His effort in Columbus was nothing short of amazing. He finished the night with 194 yards on 26 carries. That’s the fourthmost yards by a Penn State true freshman. Simply put, he was
one of the best players on the field. ■ The bad — Christian Hackenberg. Look, we know the kid has talent, but he was a disaster against the Buckeyes. He made a couple of decent throws, but not enough. And certainly not the kind you need to make if you’re going to be a No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft. Hack finished the night completing seven of 13 for 120 yards and no touchdowns. Simply put, that’s not good enough. ■ The ugly — coaching. James Franklin is one of the highest-paid coaches in the Big Ten. But for the second time in as many seasons, he got outcoached by OSU’s Urban Meyer. After Penn State started with a flurry and grabbed a 3-0 lead, Meyer made some adjustments and his Buckeyes ran roughshod over the Nittany Lions. — Chris Morelli

Hackenberg’s legacy doesn’t need to be complicated By BEN JONES
and any given loss under Hackenberg? Maybe they would have. It’s possible that as Hackenberg becomes a square peg in a round hole and, while not as talented, Bench or O’Connor or Ferguson would have brought something else to the table. Something that may have worked better in James Franklin’s offense. But, would it have really changed the big picture? When you look at the past three seasons and the one going on right now, not one is a season of “What if?” Not one started with promise of big national ambitions. Penn State has spent the better part of half a decade trying not to collapse into a pile of irrelevant football players playing for an irrelevant team. It’s that so frequently forgotten fact that makes the quickly approaching end of Christian Hackenberg’s collegiate career a sad ending. Held to the highest expectations possible, Hackenberg did not deliver. He could not save the Nittany Lions every week, he couldn’t throw every pass and he frequently made unforced errors. He never was going to be the perfection fans demanded. And yet he walks out and speaks to the media after nearly every game, far more than his offensive coordinator ever has, and answers questions with a smile. He has yet to complain in public, he has yet to break from program message. He has done everything anyone has ever asked of him and probably more. More often than not, he has played well in spite of those overwhelming odds. And twice given the chance to take the easier road, he stayed. All of this has slowly turned the probable last days of Hackenberg’s career into something that lacks any thankful celebration. For the most vocal of fans online, he is no longer wanted and calls for his benching are more common than the calls for one more year. If and when he leaves, Hackenberg will do so in the cold of winter with no senior day to have as his own, no one final jog down the tunnel as his name is called and fans cheer for him one more time. Fewer than 100 yards from the all-time passing mark, it will be a complex and disappointing legacy that he leaves behind for fans who want to believe that Penn State can win a national title every year. In a moment of twisted fate, Christian Hackenberg has gotten Penn State back to a point where fans have the luxury of complaining about Christian Hackenberg’s play. That, itself, is a sign his tenure has not been a failure. At the end of the day, Penn State and Hackenberg may both be better off in the long run without each other. But it’s ludicrous to say Penn State is not in better shape because of him. And if he only takes the Beaver Stadium field twice more in his career, it would be a shame if fans forgot that. Hackenberg’s legacy is complicated because life is complicated, but it doesn’t have to be. He helped save Penn State football.
StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — He was always doomed to fail. Christian Hackenberg, a young kid with a million-dollar smile and a multimilliondollar arm, came to campus with the weight of the world on his shoulders. He and Bill O’Brien, working hand in hand to rebuild a crippled Penn State program and set it on a course to restore it to so-called glory, all in four years and, if things went well, in fewer than that. To a certain extent, that has happened. Penn State is recruiting as well as it ever has, if not better, albeit under James Franklin. The talent is coming in and it’s bringing in more talent. But Christian Hackenberg is a martyr for the cause. The program finds itself in an ambiguous position somewhere between legitimate offensive issues and the fallout of a sanction era, with everyone deciding on the fly if any given drive is the result of mismanaged assets or simply the fact the assets aren’t good enough yet for consistent play. Until Penn State has a benchmark season after the sanctions, it will forever be battling to find the line between bad play and bad circumstance. So, as Penn State struggles, fans look to the one thing that is easiest to understand: Hackenberg, a quarterback whose alleged status as a No. 1 overall pick paints him the savior of the cause. Fans put their belief in him. You can point to that projection and say, “Why aren’t you better? Why have you not lived up to every ounce of the hype?” There is some truth to those shouts. Hackenberg has not been perfect and his issues at times have hurt Penn State. His throws are not always on target and his decisions have cost the Nittany Lions in previous seasons. But does it really matter? Penn State’s seasons under sanctions were rocketing toward an epic collapse. Everything was working against the Nittany Lions and, yet, each season was a winning one. Each year Penn State came out on top despite insurmountable odds. Why? Because that same kid came along and made key late game plays to help Penn State win seven games that it could have just as easily lost. Of the 19 wins under his watch, Hackenberg’s skill helped will at least seven of them into existence — Syracuse, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Central Florida, Rutgers and Boston College — if not more. So, has he not delivered? Perhaps, more importantly, do fans see someone else on the roster who was going to do better? If not for Hackenberg, it may have been Steven Bench, a quarterback who was most well known for taking photos of his dogs wearing motivational signs. He would have taken over the reigns for a short time. If not Bench, then maybe the talented but unproven duo of Michael O’Connor or Tyler Ferguson. Do any of those options sound like the difference between winning

Going out with a win
Bellefonte seniors close out home slate with victory over Penns Valley By CHRIS MORELLI
editor@centrecountygazette.com
BELLEFONTE — For the Bellefonte Red Raider seniors, the Oct. 16 Homecoming game was the final time they’d set foot on the Rogers Stadium field. No way they were going out with a loss. Bellefonte scored on the opening kickoff and never looked back in a 30-7 rout of Penns Valley. “We needed that, we really did,” Bellefonte head coach Shanon Manning said of the victory. “It got a little sloppy at the end, but it’s a win and that’s what it’s about.” The win helped the Red Raiders keep alive their chances of sweeping the Centre County games. They’ve beaten Philipsburg-Osceola and now Penns Valley, with a season finale against Bald Eagle Area looming down the road on Friday, Nov. 6. The game started better than even Manning could have hoped as Austin Jackson took the opening kickoff back 80 yards for the touchdown. He also added the twopoint conversion to give the Red Raiders an 8-0 lead just 13 seconds into the game. “We were joking and I said, ‘Well Austin, go back there and stand for a little bit,’” Manning said. “You haven’t seen one all year and you’re probably not going to see one tonight. It came off the kicker’s foot and I go, ‘Really? Really? Oh, well there he goes.’” According to Manning, the opening kickoff really set the tone. “It was big. Then the kids came out, got the two-point conversion and did some nice things,” Manning said. Penns Valley head coach Martin Tobias said that the opening kickoff return took the wind out of the Rams’ sails. “The big start for them, the kickoff return, set the tone. Then, to put the twopoint conversion in the way they did, that put us back on our heels. That gave them some really good momentum and we kind of spun for a little bit in the first half,” Tobias said. To their credit, though, the Rams responded. Later in the first quarter, PV

BELLEFONTE AREA High School’s Nick Jabco looks for running room during the Oct. 16 game with Penns Valley. The Red Raiders won the Homecoming game, 30-7. quarterback Andrew Tobias hit Ben Alexander for a 90-yard catch-and-run touchdown. The extra point was good, and the Bellefonte lead was cut to 8-7. However, the Red Raiders responded with another touchdown. It was Jackson again, this time from 44 yards away. For the night, Jackson racked up 144 yards on 19 carries.
Bellefonte would add another score late in the second quarter when quarterback Mark Armstrong hooked up with wideout Nick Jabco for an 11-yard touchdown with just 30 seconds left in the half. The Red Raiders held a 23-7 lead at the intermission. “I thought we played a pretty clean first half, really,” Manning said.
There was just one score in the second half. Late in the fourth quarter, Dillon Kephart hit paydirt from 11 yards out. Cody Allison nailed the extra point to make it 30-7. Both teams are now 2-5. Penns Valley hosts Chestnut Ridge on Friday, Oct. 23. The Red Raiders begin a three-game road trip to end the season, traveling to Central.
Huntingdon whitewashes Bald Eagle Area, 35-0 By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com
WINGATE — Huntingdon came into Bald Eagle Area on Oct. 16 without the services of senior quarterback Hudson Speck, but that was less than a major problem for the Bearcats. Plan B worked out just fine. Huntingdon relied on Jon Wagner to make up for Speck’s absence, and Wagner more than answered the call. The senior running back carried 19 times for 221 yards and four touchdowns as he led Huntingdon to a 35-0 Mountain League win over the Eagles. Wagner opened the scoring in the game with a twisting, 32-yard touchdown in the first quarter and then scored on subsequent runs of 65, 8 and 15 yards. Ian Border scored the other touchdown for the Bearcats as they dominated BEA on both offense and defense. While Wagner and his teammates racked up a total of 336 yards of offense, the Bearcat defense held BEA to just three first downs and 50 yards for the night. The Eagles completed only three passes for 10 net yards. “Our defense played tremendously,”
Huntingdon head coach Mike Hudy said. “We were flying to the ball and fired up ready to play tonight. Even with the score 6-0 at the half, we were pumped in there. So we were good to go.” That halftime score was no misprint. Both teams started slowly with the ball, and even though Huntingdon was able to move, neither team could score early. That changed late in the first quarter when the Bearcats took over on the BEA 40 after a punt. Wagner got the call and gained 8 yards on first down. Then on second down he took off around right end, avoided two tacklers at the line of scrimmage, and sprinted down the sideline for the first touchdown of the game. The extra point was blocked so the score remained 6-0. Still staying very much in the game, BEA got two chances to tie before the first half was over. The first was after the Eagle defense stopped Huntingdon’s next drive and forced a punt. But BEA rushed the punter and blocked the kick, and the Eagles took over on the HHS 36. The Eagles were unable to move the ball however — in fact they lost 5 yards — and had to punt it back. The next came as time was expiring in
the first half. With the score still 6-0, BEA punted from its own 46, but the ball hit off the helmet of a Huntingdon player and the Eagles recovered on the 20-yard line. With time for one play, BEA quarterback Tanner Kresovich targeted wide receiver Ryan Guenot. Guenot was open, but the pass sailed just out of his reach and was incomplete. It was BEA’s deepest threat of the night. “I mean, if you execute there and you score, it changes the game,” BEA coach Ron Hoover said about those chances. “Those are things we haven’t been able to do to change the game, to change the momentum in the game.” The second half was all Huntingdon. After stopping BEA’s first possession in the third quarter, the Bearcats scored touchdowns the next four time they owned the ball. Fullback Ian Border increased Huntingdon’s lead after he completed a nine play, 74-yard drive with a 3-yard run. Wagner added a two-point conversion and HHS led 14-0. Two minutes later, Wagner essentially put the game out of reach with a 65-yard bolt down the left sideline that made the score 21-0.
“He (Wagner) is an excellent back,” Hoover said, “and we knew he’d get the ball most of the time. They also use him as a decoy. Their other running backs are pretty good, too. We knew we had to stop their inside game because their fullback is an excellent player. They had nice balance and they hit some plays.” Wagner scored twice more in the game. His third touchdown came just as the fourth quarter began on an 8-yard run, and then he finished the scoring after a 15-yard scamper with seven minutes to play that put the score at 35-0. The final minutes of the game ran off under the mercy rule. Except for the final play of the first half, every Eagle possession ended with a punt. “I told the kids not to hang their heads,” Hoover said, “because they played hard. We just didn’t make plays. They stayed in the game and made key stops to keep us in it until the second half. We were looking for a tight ball game the whole way through, but once they got two or three touchdowns up, that was a lot for us to try to catch up.” Bald Eagle Area will next be in action on Friday, Oct. 23, when it travels to Clearfield for another Mid-Penn Conference game.

Down the stretch they come: Week 8 arrives By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com
It is already Week 8 of the high school football season coming up, and after two county teams picked up wins in Week 7, here’s what to look for on Friday, Oct. 23:
CENTRAL DAUPHIN EAST (5-2) AT STATE COLLEGE (4-3)
State College took care of business at Harrisburg with a 37-20 win in a game that could have been a trap after SC lost to No. 1 Central Dauphin the week before. Jordan Misher had a big night for the Little Lions. Misher rushed for 147 yards and scored two touchdowns in the game, and along the way he passed the 1,000yard rushing mark for the season and scored his 16th touchdown. The Little Lions also got touchdowns from Brandon Clark on a 23-yard pass from Tyler Snyder and Nathan King on a 23-yard fumble recovery and return. Noah Schwab kicked two field goals and Kevin Cramer added another one to round out SC’s scoring. On Friday, Oct. 23, Central Dauphin East, another Mid-Penn Conference heavy hitter, will come into Memorial Field for an important Commonwealth Division showdown. The Panthers are 5-2 this season and tied with State College with a 3-1 record in the Mid-Penn. C.D. East’s losses were to Wilson West Lawn in Week 2 and Cumberland Valley on Oct. 2. The Panthers had an easy time in their last game on Oct. 16 with a 42-3 win over Chambersburg. C.D. East, like State College, is trying to keep pace with undefeated Central Dauphin before their showdown in the season finale on Friday, Nov. 6. This game looms big then for both the Lions and the Panthers since the loser will fall out of contention for the division championship.
BELLEFONTE (2-5) AT CENTRAL (6-1)
Bellefonte put together its best effort of the season in its 30-7 win over rival Penns Valley on Oct. 13. Sparked by two long Austin Jackson touchdowns, the Raiders sprinted out to a 23-7 halftime lead and held the Rams scoreless in the second half to take the win. Except for a 90-yard Andrew Tobias to Ben Alexander touchdown pass, Bellefonte held PV in check while Jackson (144 yards) and the rest of the Raider offense pile up 232 yards rushing and 272 yards overall. Bellefonte will need to bottle some of that for the trip to Martinsburg on Friday, Oct. 23, to take on the Central Dragons. Central is 6-1 this season with its only loss coming in a very close loss in Week 2 to Clearfield. Other than that, the Dragons’ closest game was a 27-point win over Tyrone in their first Mountain League game of the season. No one had gotten closer than 35 points since Sept. 18 and no one has scored more than 19 points in any game. And forget about ganging up on the run or the pass against the Dragons. Central throws for more than 170 yards every night and runs for another 227 — an average of over 390 yards of offense per game. With Mountain League leading Clearfield just a game ahead in the stand-
ings, Central can’t afford to take a week off and will be ready to play against the Raiders.
BALD EAGLE AREA (1-6) AT CLEARFIELD (6-1)
The Bald Eagle Area defense played admirably against Huntingdon on Oct. 16. Going into the locker rooms at halftime, the score was just 6-0, and BEA was squarely in the game. But with the Eagle offense unable to move against the Bearcats, the defense was on the field too long and ultimately wore down. Huntingdon erupted for 29 unanswered points in the second half to take the 35-0 win. On Friday, Oct. 23, BEA will travel to Clearfield to take on the Bison in a Mountain League contest. Clearfield is 6-1 for the season and unbeaten in league play. The Bison have won six games in a row, and the list of teams they have beaten in that stretch is impressive: Penns Valley, Central, Huntingdon, Brockway, Bellefonte and Tyrone. In the much-anticipated showdown against Tyrone on Oct. 16, Clearfield pulled away in the second half for a convincing 34-17 win. BEA, in this game, will have to find some ways to give its defense a rest. It won’t be easy — Central, Bellefonte, Tyrone and Brockway averaged fewer than 10 points against the Bison defense.
Penns Valley was taken aback at Bellefonte on Oct. 16 when Austin Jackson returned the opening kickoff 80 yards for a touchdown. The Rams did come back and tie the score on a 90-yard pass from Andrew Tobias to Ben Alexander, but PV never did come to terms with Jackson the rest of the game. Beside the runback, Jackson added 144 yards rushing as the Raiders pulled away for a 30-7 win. On Friday, Oct. 23, non-league Chestnut Ridge comes into PV with a 4-3 record and three wins in its last four games. What’s more troubling, the Lions are 3-0 so far against Centre County teams, and they have won those games by a total score of 130-7. Penns Valley has the offensive and defensive strength to break that string, but the Rams will have to pay close attention to CR’s passing game. Sophomore quarterback Logan Hauk is only 5-foot-9 and 147 pounds, but he’s completed more than 60 percent of his passes and averages more than 160 yards per game. He’s thrown for almost 1,200 yards so far, 14 touchdowns and has been intercepted six times. Against PhilipsburgOsceola, Hauk completed 20 of 20 passes for more than 220 yards. If PV can contain Hauk and the CR passing game, look for this to be a close one that will be decided late.

PSU hockey falls to Notre Dame, wins second in series By BEN JONES StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Amazingly, these are the kinds of nights that Penn State hockey has managed to avoid and perhaps the kind of night that was long overdue for the building program. A loss where things never quite clicked and the Nittany Lions couldn’t ride the wave of the more than 6,000 strong shouting on their behalf. And that’s what happened Oct. 16, Penn State falling
7-4 to Notre Dame at home, only the third loss in 19 games within the friendly confines of Pegula Ice Arena. To the Nittany Lions’ credit, they looked their usual self in the early going outshooting the Irish 16-7 in the opening frame and for the most part dominating the pace of play for 20 minutes. It was Notre Dame, though, that came out of the period on top, a Thomas DiPauli shot through traffic beating goaltender Matthew Skoff and make it 1-0 7:26 into the game. Dylan Richard answered just under three minutes later during a scramble in front of the goal that leaked into the back of the net. “We’re confident in the way we played,� Richard said. “We can create chances and score some goals, so definitely the last couple of goals late in the second was definitely a confidence booster.� The celebration was short lived, as Andy Ryan and Steven Fogarty added two goals over a three-and-a half-minute span to open up a 3-1 lead. While Penn State was piling up the shots, Notre Dame was making the most of its limited chances, scoring two in just four shots on net. From there, the Irish continued to impose their will in a rare second period where the Nittany Lions were outshot and registered a single digit shot total. Fogarty adding his second and third goals of the game over the span of 10 minutes to further push Notre Dame in front by a 5-1 margin. But, even with eight freshman on the roster and key players missing from the rotation, Penn State did what Penn State hockey has become known for — it fought back. And it was two goals in the span of less than a minute, one by freshman Alec Marsh and a second by Richard, that reactivated the Pegula crowd and turned a blowout into a 5-3 game. “I’m kind of glad to get the first one out of the way and really help the team by getting some momentum going,�
Marsh said after the game. “It takes a little weight off my shoulder to get the first.� During the 2014-15 season a two-goal deficit at home may have seemed like nothing. The Nittany Lions were a team known for falling behind only to come roaring back. A dangerous way to live, but one that Penn State had been successful at more often than not. But in 2015-16, that character trait still needs to be earned and perhaps more importantly, learned. The Nittany Lions never made the comeback on Oct. 16. Mario Lucia and Ryan both added goals in the opening 3:57 of the game’s final frame. Penn State freshman Marsh would register his second of the night six minutes into the period, but by then the 7-4 Irish lead was clearly far from truly being threatened. When Penn State tried to push through and create quick chances, Notre Dame answered with solid play in the neutral zone. Where Penn State managed to find offense, the Irish relied on solid defense to minimize the attack. Where the Nittany Lions fielded lines of young players with plenty of potential, Notre Dame responded with lines full of upperclassmen. It was that way all night: Simply put, Notre Dame was the better team for the majority of play. The Irish generated better chances and made the most of Penn State’s miscues. Fortunately for the Nittany Lions, they got another chance on Oct. 17 to split the series, and they did, beating Notre Dame 5-3.

Barkley’s night not to be overlooked By BEN JONES StateCollege.com
COLUMBUS, Ohio — There was no guarantee it would go this way. Penn State could have walked out on the the field with hopeful star Saquon Barkley in the backfield and watched his early season success turn out to be the result of opponents. A good player running past not-so-good players. That’s not what happened, though. His first carry was short, stuffed up the middle as he made a slight turn toward the right side of the line. If anything about that run was concerning, it was the ease with which Ohio State made it to Barkley. His talented vision and feet can make you
miss, but it can’t make everyone miss. During the next drive, the wheels started to turn in the span of just eight plays. A 4-yard carry. Then a 5-yard carry. And then, a 6-yard carry. Nine more yards after that. A coming out party during a single drive nearly capped off by a 44-yard run and score. But an obvious holding penalty brought the Nittany Lions back. No points on this drive, but Barkley was present and accounted for. “I think he adds another element,” said quarterback Christian Hackenberg following the game. “He can get yards after contact and he did a great job of that all day today. That helped a lot of things get going

PAUL VERNON/The Associated Press
PENN STATE running back Saquon Barkley was one of the few bright spots in the Nittany Lions’ 38-10 loss to Ohio State on Oct. 17. for us … obviously I think we did a lot of good things but we weren’t able to capitalize on things like I think we needed to and string some things together.” “I was hopeful that (Barkley) was going to be able to play last week,” head coach James Franklin said. “Obviously, he played well this week. We want to be able to continue building on that.” That’s the trick — making the most of the big plays and the opportunities they provide. Barkley did his part in that area, too, rushing for 56 yards on a first down from the Penn State 23 all the way to the Ohio State 21. With the Nittany Lions down 24-10 early in the fourth quarter, that spark was what the team needed to stay alive. But, instead, Penn State gained a net of just 6 yards over the ensuing four plays: 2 from Akeel Lynch, 6 from Brandon Polk and, then, Hackenberg getting sacked for a 2-yard loss on fourth down from the Ohio State 13. It’s hard to imagine many situations when a team can have an 100-yard receiver and nearly a 200-yard rusher and still fall 28 points behind by the end of the night. If nothing else, a nod to the struggles Penn State had finishing drives and the talent and speed at which Ohio State can make the most of its opponents miscues. Looking at the long-term health of the program, those things are secondary to the
truth that shined brightly in front of more than 108,000 fans dressed in black: Saquon Barkley is very much the real deal. His 194 rushing yards in 26 carries are the fourth-most by a Penn State true freshman. He also has the third-highest total with 195 vs. Rutgers. Barkley’s 194 rushing yards were the most by a Penn State running back against Ohio State since Eric McCoo’s 211 yards during the 1999 win. In Barkley’s two Big Ten games he has more than 190 yards in each game in just over 20 carries. Those are big numbers. The problem with coming-out parties is that the secret is no longer a secret as Barkley moves on with the rest of his career. He will be Penn State’s top weapon and top asset for as long as he remains on campus. In a lot of ways, he is the best player the Nittany Lions can throw at an opponent on either side of the ball. That comes with great responsibility and great expectations. So far, Barkley seems to be handling it all well from behind the protection of Penn State’s policy of not allowing true freshman to speak to the media. Sooner or later, though, the day will come when that shield comes down and everyone will get to know No. 26, the kid who can make you gasp and make you pay attention.

PSU football: It had to be perfect, and it wasn’t By BEN JONES StateCollege.com
COLUMBUS, Ohio — If Penn State was ever going to beat Ohio State on Oct. 17, the Nittany Lions would have had to play a near perfect game. But, Penn State simply isn’t a team that can overcome major mistakes, yet. The margin for error is still too small, be it the lack of true depth and experience or simply where the talent lies on the roster. If nothing else, playing the nation’s top team is hard enough all on its own. Those kinds of teams make you pay for unforced errors. And that’s what happened. Penn State receiver Chris Godwin put it simply in three words, the need to “control the ‘controllables.’” There is only so much a defense can do to contain Braxton Miller. There is only so much you can do to slow down Joey Bosa. If, at the end of the day, they’re the reason you lost, that’s OK. The better team won, the more talented team won. It’s the mistakes that will keep you up at night. The miscue that was simply your own fault. The “what ifs?” are the questions that are all across Penn State’s loss. “We had our opportunities early on, but we did not take advantage of them,” Penn State coach James Franklin said. “We had some negative yardage plays that put us in some challenging situations against their defense, especially with our offensive line struggling.” And here are a few of those “what if” moments. ■ Sixty-one for three. Following an opening drive that featured a 45-yard reception and took more than two minutes off the clock to calm the Ohio State crowd, Penn State ended up with just three points after Christian Hackenberg couldn’t connect with Saeed Blacknall for a 5-yard gain. What if it had been a first down and maybe a score? That sets the tone and turns Ohio State’s first touchdown into a tying score instead of one that takes the lead. ■ Second and 1. A wide-open Mike Gesicki watches a long ball go right into his chest and bounce to the turf, a beauty of a throw by Hackenberg that would have given Penn State the ball deep in Ohio State territory looking to extend the 3-0 lead. Wide open targets are a rarity, which makes wide open drops even more unacceptable. This particular drop looms large. ■ Third and 1. One play and two timeouts later: Maybe he wouldn’t have scored, but Saquon Barkley’s 44-yard run to the end zone came all the way back thanks to a Brian Gaia holding penalty. Needing just 3 feet to get a first down, Barkley was well on his way to doing just that. A new set of downs Week 8, from page 25 Bearcats. Huntingdon was without its starting quarterback, Hudson Speck, in its 35-0 win over BEA, but allpurpose back Jon Wagner more than made up for his loss. Wagner ran for 221 yards against the Eagles and scored four touchdowns, so he will be the main focus of the P-O defense. The Mounties have had trouble scoring, racking up just 22 points in the last four games. It will not be easy for them to improve that statistic against a very good Huntingdon defense.
and Penn State was on its way toward a potential 10-0 first quarter lead. Instead, it’s third and 8 and Hackenberg is sacked the very next play. Ohio State’s next drive would end with seven points. ■ First and 10. Down 14-3, Penn State is driving down the field midway through the second quarter. Facing a first and 10 on the Ohio State 33, Brandon Polk runs in motion and mistimes his route, running into the snapped ball and fumbling it unintentionally. The result is a 4-yard loss thanks to a jet sweep that was never supposed to happen. A secondand-14 pass gains 2 yards and a third down and a Hackenberg run gains 4 more. Facing a fourth and 8 on the Ohio State 31, Penn State goes for it, and it ends with a sack. The Nittany Lions go from driving down the field, nearly into the red zone, to getting nothing at all. Off schedule, and the drive is doomed. The little things continue on. Missed blocking assignments and bad pass protection on fourth downs doomed the Nittany Lions at nearly every turn. Things were hard enough already without self-inflicted wounds. In the end, the lesson is the value of experience. Ohio
State made mistakes, but had the experience and talent to overcome them. The Oct. 17 game was an example of the need for a lot of growth by Penn State, controlling what they can control and letting the rest take care of itself. Maybe none of this would have mattered in the end against Ohio State. But fixing these kinds of errors is the difference between winning and losing against a lot of less-challenging opponents. That’s more important right now anyway.

Women’s Corner Program promotes strong bones and flexibility STATE COLLEGE — The Strong Women, Strong Bones program, created by the national StrongWomen Initiative, is a 12-week strength-training program that is sponsored by the Penn State Extension and has been operating in Centre County at eight sites, including locations in Boalsburg, University Park, State College and Bellefonte. I recently met with Laurie Weinreb-Welch to discuss the program, which has a goal of helping women strengthen muscles and bones and improve balance. Weinreb-Welch has taken over the administration of the program following the retirement of Beth Van Horn. A visit to the class at the United Methodist Church in Bellefonte provided a demonConnie Cousins covers a wide stration of the techvariety of events in niques and exercises Centre County for that make up Strong the Centre County Women, Strong Bones.

By using light weights, the arms and legs can become stronger and the body gains flexibility. The work should be started with a warm-up, according to the class instructor. Warming up can be five minutes of any activity that gets the body moving. In a Tufts University study, the researchers recommended an exercise of slowly standing up and sitting down in a chair, as that is a mild strengthening exercise. Other suggestions are marching in place or walking up

and down flights of stairs. There were seven women in the class at Bellefonte on the day of my visit. Three women had been in the class for three years and a couple of women were new. Jeanne T. Newlin, who has attended the program for four years, shared a pamphlet which clearly described all the exercises. “I have found the class to be worthwhile,” said Newlin. “It is more challenging than it appears at first look.” The group I met with at Liberty Hill was a lively bunch and seemed to enjoy each other’s company as they worked their upper bodies with dumbbells and performed biceps curls, overhead presses and other exercises. They had warmed up already when I came in the room. When it was time to work on the legs, the ladies pulled out the ankle weights. Most all of the strengtheners are done in two sets of 10 with a minute rest between sets. The Liberty Hill instructor, Anne Van Aelst, was very accommodating and informative. Liberty Hill also has an 8:30 a.m. class on Wednesdays that Van Aelst teaches. In her absence, Jane Steff is trained to fill in and run the class. The six ladies discussed the merits of some floor work and decided to add that on their next class day. So, armed with their mats, they will learn still more movements that can build those strong bones and prevent fractures. As mentioned above, the program does do more for your body than you might think. You can observe that as you scan over a group of these “strong women” in action. Each movement is slow and controlled, designed to build muscle strength. One such move involved the abdominal muscles and worked on the core more than the others — a good addition to the regimen. Still other positions help with balance, of critical importance as we age. The ladies at Liberty Hill insisted on my participation and, even without ankle weights, I could feel the muscles being worked in my legs. Both instructors I ob-

Three things to consider during Breast Cancer Awareness Month Approximately 12 percent of women in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime, according to the American Cancer Society. October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month and is an ideal time to learn more about the disease. Here are some things to consider: ■ Screening improves the chances of early detection of breast cancer, when it is easier to treat. Follow the ACS’s guidelines for detection. Their recommendations include that women age 45 and older have a mammogram annually, and that women
in their 20s and 30s have a clinical breast exam during their regular health exam — preferably every three years. ■ Healthy lifestyle choices can help reduce one’s risk for developing breast cancer. Eat a healthful diet, get regular physical activity and reduce alcohol intake. ■ Volunteer and fundraising opportunities abound that support the fight against breast cancer.

Executive director of Interfaith Domestic violence: A look Human Services retires at the devastating facts By CONNIE COUSINS
correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — Interfaith Human Services has existed in one form or another for 48 years, with a mission of fully meeting the needs of all those the organization serves. Now, one of those who has served the organization, executive director Ruth Donahue, has retired. Donahue and her husband, who retired from Penn State, are moving from the area to be closer to family. “I feel very blessed and privileged to have worked (at IHS),” said Donahue, with a catch in her voice. “There have been hard complex issues to deal with and great need. Centre County is fortunate to have congregations and organizations that care and can come together to share resources to help their neighbors. The spirit of the people is a spirit of cooperation and collaboration.” Interfaith Human Services is a nonprofit charitable organization that begain in 1968 when four congregations of churches organized their resources to more effectively serve their community. It is that collaboration and partnership that Donahue is most proud of. IHS, now a United Way agency, connects with human service agencies, churches, government agencies, educational groups, civic groups, businesses and individuals. “When we build a broader partnership of people and greater communication, we can fill the community’s needs more completely and in a more timely manner,” explained Donahue. “A great example of what I mean is in the matter of the citizens who were displaced when the mobile parks closed. There are 30 congregations involved with IHS and when the calls came for funds to help the displaced people, the response was amazing. “Of course, I knew that some churches would help, but the response was community-wide. Individuals placed ads, artists gave percentages of their sales, organizations tapped musicians who gave benefit concerts and a Zumba group held a Zumbathon — as neighbor-to-neighbor efforts. Over $72,000 was made available to pro-
Some things are very difficult to talk about — too personal, too sad, too devastating or too far removed; “It will never happen to me.” Domestic violence is personal, sad and devastating, but unfortunately, it is not too far removed. One in four women will be a victim of domestic violence at some point in her lifetime, and, on average, three women are killed every day at the hands of a current or former intimate partner. A woman is far more likely to be killed by her spouse, an intimate acquaintance or a family member than by a stranger. We at the Centre County Women’s Resource Center are Jody K.

vide various types of assistance.” Donahue’s background has been a real asset to her work at IHS. A graduate of Chatham University in Pittsburgh, she became a Methodist pastor in 1989. After serving churches in the Western PA Conference, she moved with her husband to State College in 2002. At that time, she retired from itinerancy, but has filled pulpits both locally and elsewhere in Pennsylvania when needed. As major gifts officer for the Penn State University Libraries, Donahue gained valuable experience that further prepared her to take the lead position at IHS. “I was brought into the organization to make IHS more visible in the community and to expand its vision and services,” said Donahue. “I loved the job and was excited to see the growth and maturity that unfolded over the past few years.”

Domestic violence is not about love and it is not a “crime of passion.” Domestic violence can be defined as a pattern of behavior in any relationship that is used to gain or maintain power and control over an intimate partner.

Sculpture represents father-daughter collaboration By CONNIE COUSINS correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
BELLEFONTE — The Bellefonte Art Museum’s “SeeScape,” a painted aluminum and stainless steel suspended sculpture by Talley Fisher, was a major attraction during the recent Art Alliance of Central Pennsylvania’s Fall Colors 2015 Studio Tour. The tour, which featured 18 venues, was held Oct. 17 and 18. The Bellefonte museum presented 23 local artists in its galleries. According to the museum’s press release, “See-Scape” is “a playful work, with feelings and sensations much like a Chagall painting. Fantastic mirrored forms swim and float effortlessly in a light-filled space.” I could not have described it any better than these image-evoking words. Some viewers were reminded of leaves, others of fish, as they studied the suspended sculpture. Most fascinating to me was the different emotions felt as I viewed the artwork from all sides, above and below. The story behind the environmental hanging art is interesting and moving. Rob Fisher, the artist’s father, moved to Bellefonte in 1974 where he established his studio, Rob Fisher Sculptures LLC. He and his wife, True, lived in and raised their two children, Brett and Talley, in the town. In 1988, Rob created “See-Scape” for a stairwell at Park Cardiographics Headquarters in Taunton, Mass. When he died suddenly in 2006, Rob left behind sculptures both in the United States and abroad. Seven important commissions, coming at the height of his career, remained unfinished, including pieces for airports, medical facilities and an office.
Talley, at the time of her father’s death, was already working with him on a project at the Las Vegas Airport. She had received her master’s degree in landscape architecture and was home job hunting and helping her father, as she had done many times before. Not being able to tolerate having her father’s works be uncompleted, she stepped in to finish the designs, engineering, fabricating and installing all seven suspended sculptures. From the desire to finish her father’s work, a new career sprouted. Her reputation has grown and she now has commissions across the United States and abroad. Rob Fisher designed and fabricated the elements of this new “See-Scape,” but it is definitely a collaborative effort between father and daughter. Talley gathered the pieces of the metal sculpture that had hung in the building in Taunton and recreated a smaller version that reflects both Rob’s talents and her own unique style. Coming up on Sunday, Nov. 1, the Bellefonte Art Museum will hold an opening reception and a free art class, as they do on the first Sunday of each month. Most shows change monthly. “Journey to the Golden Fleece,” the fiber artist show, will continue through November. An interesting fact about weavers is that there is a network that includes countries all over the world. The show that executive director Pat House created this time is one that brought together gatherers who form the fiber works from spinning the yarn to the finished product. Also, on Friday, Oct. 30, and running through November, jewelry artist Genevieve Williamson will be featured in the Jewelry Gallery. The Bellefonte Art Museum is open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Circa and Debussy String Quartet to perform Nov. 11 UNIVERSITY PARK — Circa’s 14 extreme acrobats and live accompaniment by the Debussy String Quartet breathe life into the music of Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich in “Opus” at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11, in Eisenhower Auditorium. In “Opus,” created by Circa Artistic Director Yaron Lifschitz, three of the Russian composer’s quartets— intimate, passionate, lyrical and ironic — form the musical and dramatic foundation for a union of extreme acrobatics, lyrical movement and group choreography. More than just a source of musical accompaniment, the Debussy ensemble performs from memory and is woven into the action.

formed in 33 countries on six continents. France’s Debussy String Quartet, which has released more than 25 CDs in the same number of years, is up to Circa’s challenge. The musicians meet the flying, twirling and writhing performing artists with the 20thcentury composer’s avant garde themes, brash harmonies and sarcastic idioms. Britain’s The Guardian called Circa a troupe “with brains, not just brawn,” and France’s Les Echoes describes “Opus” as “none other than sublime … a monument, musically and choreographically.” Tickets are available online at www.cpa. psu.edu or by phone at (814) 863-0255 or (800) ARTS-TIX. Tickets also are available at four State College locations: Eisenhower Auditorium (weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), Penn State Downtown Theatre Center (weekdays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.), HUB-Robeson Center Information Desk (weekdays, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.) and Bryce Jordan Center (weekdays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.).

The Field Burger & Tap: Farm-to-table now at Toftrees The Field Burger & Tap embraces the farm-to-table concept. Opened in September, it is part of the revitalization of the Toftrees Golf Resort and offers diners hand-formed burgers, hand-cut russet potato fries, local breads, Pennsylvania craft beers, regional Amish cheeses and hand-spun milkshakes from the Penn State Berkey Creamery. The Field serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. A breakfast buffet is also offered Saturdays and Sundays, 7 a.m. to noon. “On the weekends, we have chef stations preparing made-to-order eggs, omelets and waffles,” said executive chef Randall Sherman. A private blend of sirloin, chuck, brisket and short rib is used for the hand-formed burgers. All the breads are from Gemelli Bakery. The most popular burgers on the menu are The Lancaster, The Black and Smoky Blue, and The Huntsman, which is a farm-raised venison burger served with wild mushrooms, onions, grilled tomato, local Swiss cheese, field greens and herb aioli. A perfect accompaniment to the burgers is the handcut russet potato fries. Order a serving for one or a bucket for the whole table to share. There are 13 taps holding a selection of craft beers
The Field embraces its farm-to-table mentality using the freshest ingredients available including local breads, a variety of regional Amish cheeses, and a private blend of sirloin, chuck, brisket, and short rib to create our hand-formed burgers. The Field offers an extensive selection of craft beers from State College and Central Pennsylvania. Our milkshakes are hand-spun using the legendary ice cream from Penn State’s Berkey Creamery.
from local breweries, including Elk Creek Café in Millheim, Happy Valley Brewery & Co. and Otto’s Pub, as well as other Pennsylvania breweries.
