Developer provides update on project By HARRY ZIMBLER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Great progress is being made on the construction of the Fraser Centre multi-use building in downtown State College. When complete, the 165-foot-tall building will be the tallest structure in the region. An update on the project was offered by Gary Brandeis, a Penn State alumnus and the building’s co-developer, to the Rotary Club of Downtown State College during an Oct. 22 meeting. The Fraser Center will include 26 to 29 condominiums on the upper floors. “We already have 400 names of people interested in purchasing them,” said Brandeis. “They will be offered for sale

and both are sure to secure the two open seats in that ward. Here is the Centre County Gazette’s breakdown of the candidates running in the two contested races.

Teacher found guilty of attempted child sex abuse By ZACH BERGER StateCollege.com

ENDORSED BY FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE

STATE COLLEGE — A former State College High School computer technology teacher has been found guilty in a one-day jury trial for attempted child sexual abuse, unlawful contact with a minor and other related charges. Wesley Amy, 28, of Bellefonte, worked at the high school from October 2013 to May 2014, targeting three female children during his employment and soliciting them for nude photographs. According to a press release from the district attorney’s office, Amy “friended” the victims on Facebook and “began his grooming process early by initiating private Facebook conversations at all hours of the day and night with them; even when they were in school.” The release also noted Amy tried to endear himself to the children, discussing cartoons and inviting them to events that were not sanctioned by the school district. “He knowingly isolated the youngest child victim and held a private Facebook discussion about pornography,” the release said. “He knowingly disseminated a pornographic image of a teenager performing oral sex on an adult male, recommended a pornographic anime series, and even inquired about her sex life, asking whether she had engaged in sexual intercourse with another student or teacher.” Amy then began soliciting the victims for nude photographs, and when they refused to do so, he tried to incentivize them with promises of increased grades. “You can get an A or B, but you have to motivate

me to give you that grade,” he said via Facebook chat. He also solicited the oldest of the three victims in person, urging her to join his class despite her not having the proper prerequisites. In April 2014, he handed her a flash drive labeled WESLEY AMY “Plan B” and told her that he would give her a 100 percent grade on her final project if she put nude photos on and returned it to him. “The minor, trying to believe the best in an adult teacher, thought he must be joking,” the release said. “So in response, she placed a silly photograph of a unicorn on the flash drive and turned it in to Amy.” Amy became angry and gave it back to the student, telling her in a stern voice to “fix it.” She disclosed her experiences to a friend once she realized he wasn’t joking regarding his solicitations, and that friend notified his mother, who told the school district and State College Police. Amy was found guilty on one seconddegree felony count of attempted sexual abuse of children, one third-degree felony count of unlawful contact with a minor, one third-degree felony account of disseminating sexual material to minors and three misdemeanor counts of corruption of minors. He will be sentenced before judge Jonathan Grine on Thursday, Dec. 10, and will be required to register as a sex offender for the next 25 years.

State College man expresses no regret for fatal stabbing of wife By ZACH BERGER StateCollege.com

EXPERIENCE. INTEGRITY.

VOTE TUESDAY, NOV. 3

PAID FOR BY RON MCGLAUGHLIN FOR JUDGE

STATE COLLEGE — When asked if he regretted fatally stabbing his estranged wife, all Vladimir Podnebennyy said was that she should not have told him she was leaving him to “start a new life with someone else.” According to the criminal complaint filed by State College police, Podnebennyy lured his wife to his State College residence at 400 Gerald St. Oct. 26 under the ruse that his car battery had died. He later told police that she was aware he had car battery problems, and that he wanted to open the hood of her car so that she could not easily drive away and would be forced to speak with him. She had been living at a shelter in State College for the last three weeks because she feared for her safety, according to police. Podnebennyy said that his intent was to reconcile with his estranged wife, but she declined his attempts. “She had a knife in her hand and told him to stay away from her,” the criminal complaint said. “Podnebennyy said that she kept the knife in the door of her car to peel fruit. He said that he grabbed the knife from her hand with his left hand and stabbed her in the chest two to three times. She attempted to defend herself by grabbing the blade but was unsuccessful.”

After he stabbed her, Podnebennyy reportedly called his daughter, Olga Igolnijov, who lives in Florida. Igolnijov reported the stabbing to police after she got off the phone with her father, telling them, “My father stabbed my mother. I think he killed her.” Igolnijov stated that her father told her that he killed her mother. “I have killed your mom. I have killed your mom. I have stabbed your mom,” he told her. Podnebennyy told police he tried to call his wife “about 200 times” the weekend prior to the incident with no success, leading to his attempt to speak with her on the afternoon of Oct. 26. “When asked if he regretted stabbing his wife, Podnebennyy stated that she shouldn’t have said what she said,” the criminal complaint stated. “He said that he never felt threatened and he easily took the knife from her hand. She never threatened him or pointed the knife at him.” Police found the victim slumped over the center console of her car with a kitchen knife protruding from her chest. She was transported to the Mount Nittany Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead from multiple stab wounds to the chest and defensive wounds to both hands. Podnebennyy is being held without bail and has been charged with first- and thirddegree murder, aggravated assault and possession of an instrument of a crime.

Five candidates vie for four seats on borough council By ALEXA LEWIS news@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — In the upcoming municipal election on Tuesday, Nov. 3, there are four open seats on the State College Borough council, but voters must chose from five candidates. Incumbent Catherine Dauler is running, along with three newcomers: Jesse Barlow, Janet Engeman and David Brown. The ballot also includes Ron Madrid, who is running as the sole Republican. Here is the Gazette’s breakdown of the four non-incumbent candidates. Calls made to Dauler were not returned to the Gazette.

ELECT

Janet Engeman Engeman started out as an activist who helped start Schlow Library and lobbied the borough on air quality, but now she is ready for a seat on borough council. “I was attending all the council meetings and planning meetings and speaking at all of them,” Engeman said. “I thought maybe it would make sense to have a more formal role in what is going on.” She is the only candidate who was born in State College and graduated from State High, which she said gives her a unique perspective. Engeman said her approach would be to address some of the budget problems by finding resources that would not necessarily cost the borough. Her other priorities include cooperating with Penn State, maintaining the neighborhoods and comprehensive rezoning. “It has been decades since the town has been zoned and what has been happening is we are getting spot zoning,” she said. “I think we need to address the issues of

what is happening in terms of development in a comprehensive way, and I don’t think we are going to have the ability to control what is happening until that happens.” Engeman said rezoning could also help solve the borough’s tourist house issue, which she described as houses people buy for the sole purpose of renting them out. She is also interested in the environment and maintaining diversity in the community. Jesse Barlow Barlow vouched for the need to look at the borough’s budget and development, but he was the only candidate to mention broadband. He said he would like a commercial entity to bring broadband to the borough, which he said would mean faster at-home Internet speeds. “A lot of people in this area work from home and they would be able to make use of faster Internet speeds,” Barlow said. “The best commercial Internet around is Comcast, and it’s not as good as it can be done.” Broadband is not the only thing Barlow is suggesting. As a board member of the College Community Land Trust, and after helping council members Peter Morris and Sara Klinetob and Mayor Elizabeth Goreham with their campaigns, Barlow has other experience. He said that over the long term the borough has to find ways to bring in more taxpayers to close the budget’s deficit, which he said is likely to widen. The experience he gained interacting with Penn State over the course of his career, he said, could help the borough when it comes to discussing development issues with the university. “I have a good idea where you can get the university to budge. After being around the university for 35 years, I

have a pretty good idea what to ask for,” Barlow said. Ron Madrid According to Madrid, with a shrinking tax base since the 1970s, the borough’s budget deficit could be solved by generating alternate sources of revenue, instead of continuing on the path of compensating by raising real estate taxes and cutting services. To balance the budget, the borough should consider levying retail liquor taxes, sales taxes and hotel occupancy taxes with the Pennsylvania Assembly’s approval, said Madrid. “If the borough was allowed to levy that other .05 percent hotel occupancy tax, that would raise almost $200,000 a year. That’s almost two police men right there,” Madrid said. Without a robust budget and strong sources of revenue, the borough’s credit rate would drop, making it more difficult and expensive to borrow money, said Madrid. “Money is what drives all those things that we as residents want — civic improvements, infrastructure and park improvement, sustainability issues and funding program for inclusionary housing.” Madrid is running for borough council for the third time, and said it has been challenging with a majority of the borough voting for Democrats. Madrid is the current chair of the Real Estate Advisory Commission, and has served as the Holmes-Foster Neighborhood Association’s president and a member planning commission. David Brown Brown is a recently retired psychologist, but his experience in the community has prepared him to jump into politics with a goal of addressing the borough’s budget. “The tax base is not adequate Council, Page 5

Buddy Walk makes an impact

Bridal exposition to debut in Bellefonte By SAMANTHA BASTRESS correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

By GIANNA MARTORANO correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — This year’s Buddy Walk, held Oct. 25, drew 425 walkers and more than 100 volunteers in an effort to raise funds for the Centre County Down Syndrome Society. “The Buddy Walk cumulates all the fundraising we’ve done the past two months,” said Heather House, vice president of the society. “Families and friends come out to support the event, (and) we have also been taking online donations.” This year’s event raised $34,000. House discussed the event’s success, mentioning it brings together various cultures in the community interested in showing their ways to support the cause. Student organizations from the Penn State campus, including the men’s basketball team, came out to lend a helping hand. Raquel Ross, the society’s president, said, “The event fits perfectly in October, for Down Syndrome Awareness Month.” Ross said that she is working with others in the organization to bring the Achieving a Better Life Act to State College and the rest of Centre County. The ABLE Act, which was introduced in Congress in 2013, creates tax-free savings accounts for peo-

Council, from page 4 to the services that are provided,” Brown said. “Roughly 45 percent of land or real estate is not taxable.” Brown’s solution to the problem that has existed in the borough for quite a bit of time is persuading the legislature in Harrisburg to give State College the taxing authority to employ a local alcohol and hotel retail sales tax. He said Harrisburg already gives this authority to Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. He said that applying a fee to housing that is available online for short-term rent, such as those places listed on Airbnb.com, could help kill two birds with one stone by bringing in more revenue to the borough and holding these places more accountable.

BELLEFONTE — For couples who are stressed and overwhelmed by the prospect of attending a large-scale wedding exposition, there is an exciting new option. Something Blue + White, a collective of local craftsmen and event specialists, will be hosting an “alternative” wedding expo Sunday, Nov. 8, at the Match Factory in Bellefonte. Instead of a large hall filled with vendors vying for attention, the event will be set up like a traditional wedding. There will be a ceremony with a local couple renews their wedding vows, followed by a cocktail hour and reception for the local businesses. There will be more than 20 vendors at the event, including bakeries, caterers, photographers, musicians and more. Many of the vendors are State College natives or Penn State graduates. Sadie Ermol, organizer of the expo, described the collective as a group of artisans focused on

Brown would also like to see development of State College shift toward serving the borough residents, instead of investing in more student housing units or studentfocused retail. Another key point that Brown highlights on his campaign website is improving pedestrian safety “by impressing upon the State Legislature the importance of allowing the State College Police to have and use the necessary tools” to better protect the well-being of pedestrians and cyclists. Brown has worked in State College for more than 35 years. He is the former director of two large counseling agencies, and a former volunteer at the State College Food Bank and Centre Volunteers in Medicine, among others.

inspiring local couples to create unique and personalized weddings for themselves and their families. “All the vendors will be selling the experience, a chance to see them at their most creative and to see them do what they do best, whether that be cakes or photos or dresses,” said Ermol. “The day of the event is more about showing guests what they could have on their big day.” Recent wedding trends have focused more and more on the services that local businesses can provide. Specialized and smallscale businesses like those at the Something Blue + White expo have especially been in vogue, as they can provide personalized products for individual couples in ways that larger businesses cannot. Although couples looking for wedding day resources and ideas are the target audience for the expo, the public is welcome to attend this debut event.

It will be quite spacious,” said Brandeis. “We are looking at both transient and extended-stay markets.” Brandeis and his partners are involved in many development projects, but none is as special as the Fraser Centre. “It was important for us to be located in a college community,” he said. “We look for projects that are low-risk and this is one of those.

That move, which has already received approval from Penn State’s board of trustees, will provide space to meet the growing needs of start-up companies, while enabling the chamber to strengthen its multipronged economic development mission under the banner of the Centre County Economic Development Partnership. According to Squier, with the transfer of space of the Technology Center, along with the office move and recent staff additions, the chamber will be better positioned to continue its work with university, community and local government partners to foster a results-driven entrepreneurial ecosystem, help existing businesses succeed and expand, and bring new wealth and business investment into the county. “The past few years have been a time of transition for the chamber,” said Squier. “Recent developments, most notably the cementing of a long-time productive relationship with Penn State, are positioning the organization for an exciting future. Working with the university and the Centre County Economic Development Partnership investors, great things are in store for Centre County and those who live and work here.”

He said he would also like to see the borough resolve negotiations with the developer of the former Army National Guard site that the borough purchased regarding preserving two historic builds on site and putting the property on the tax rolls. Halderman currently serves as council’s current president. Among his many other roles, he is also the vice chairman of the Bellefonte Industrial Authority, member of the Pennsylvania State Boroughs Association board of directors and vice president Bellefonte Water and Sewer Authority. He said, “I don’t care if weather you’re a Democrat or a Republican or no party at all, its all what’s best for Bellefonte and that what you look forward to.” Calls to Joanne Tosti-Vasey were not returned to the Gazette.

Brandeis noted that his company secured partial funding through the EB-5 program that encourages foreign investment in the United States. For the Fraser Centre program, investors from China were secured. The 57-parking spaces for the building will be underground.

I expect the chamber’s valued role in business incubation to be strengthened by the collective asset realignments.” “When we learned that space was opening up on Fraser Street, a broad search for a new location turned to a focus on the downtown State College option,” said Squier. “After careful consideration, the chamber board believes the Fraser Street location is in the best strategic interest of the organization’s economic and entrepreneurial development mission, while enabling the chamber to continue providing the best possible service to its countywide membership.” According to CBICC board chairman Ted McDowell, the transaction of space at the Technology Center falls in line with the goals of the recently signed Memorandum of Agreement between the university and the chamber to work toward building a nurturing and collaborative environment Lochbaum, from page 1 was across the hall,” Lochbaum said. “The daughter’s only request was that she outlive her mother, because all of her mother’s family had been killed during the Holocaust. She was the only survivor.” According to Lochbaum, being witness to that changes a person. “It really opened my eyes. You take care of cancer patients. It’s what you do.” She worked at a couple of hospitals in Ohio before landing in Pennsylvania, continuing to work with cancer patients along the way. When Lochman was 50, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Suddenly, she was the patient — not the caretaker. “It was different, but because I had worked with so many cancer patients, I knew how to deal with it. All of a sudden, you understand what they’re going through.” Lochbaum’s breast cancer was caught early and treated. As a survivor, she decided to put her knowledge and firsthand experience to use. That is when she got involved with the Cancer Survivors’ Association. “Then, they needed someone to help run the support group. I said, ‘Why not?’ Then, the president stepped down and they said, ‘How would you like to be president?’ So, I became president of the group.”

For Lochbaum, a big part of being president is helping provide support and education. “Cancer is a chronic disease. It’s not an acute disease that you get and then you’re cured. You can be cancer-free, but you still need to get the mammograms, get your follow-up. You still have to take care of yourself. Maybe you’ve got cancer, but you’ve got a whole other part of your life. You need to work with the positive.” Just because someone has or had cancer does not mean they need to stop living, Lochbaum said. “If you like to go out to dinner with your friends, go out to dinner with your friends. Exercise. Don’t abuse yourself because you’ve got cancer. That’s what keeps me going. Yes, I enjoy helping people, but I really enjoy helping them move on with their life.” You wouldn’t know it from talking to her, but Lochbaum is retired. In addition to her work with CSA, she still helps at the hospital on a part-time basis. Lochbaum has three daughters and four grandchildren. “Since I’m retired, I get to see them a lot,” she said with a smile. When she is not spending time with her children and grandchildren, Lochbaum volunteers with her church. “I like to feel like I’m contributing,” she said.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

I attended the Paul McCartney performance at the Bryce Jordan Center on Oct. 15th and was enthralled. I have been a fan of Sir Paul for over 50 years. The concert was life-changing. I know that is overstated, but at my age, it was, and I will cherish the memory for a long time. I must share that I was moved to tears at the end of the concert when Paul exited the stage, and the lights shown across the audience. I saw all sizes and ages in the soft light of the BJC, and it struck me that what I just experienced was what America is about. Joyous freedom. Where people may come together, and enjoy an evening without fear. Each person bringing his/her personal experiences, and rocking to the music of an icon. How very American it seemed to me. Why the tears? I thought of my Dad, who fought under General Patton in WWII, and how he taught me to never lie, or cheat or take crap from anyone. He said more than once, “I did a lot of awful things in the war for you and your brother and sister to enjoy the freedom of this great country.” When the lights came up across the crowd, it was as though he was there and saying “America. What a great nation, and look at the people, son. All enjoying the freedom we all fought for. It was surely worth it.” In the mornings, I drive an hour to have coffee with veteran community leaders, and it makes me proud to call these men my friends. Brent Pasquinelli, Chuck Gambone, Bill Burkhard, Rob Griggs, Scott Nusom and Bruce Heim gather and share life stories. I am amazed by all they have done for the State College community and beyond. To all veterans out there, thank you from an old man who enjoyed a night out remembering fondly the days of my youth, and what a soldier taught me long ago. God bless you all.

often in remembrance of things past, too pungent for that. White without a doubt is writing about something he knows intimately and loves passionately. His own legacy has to be inseparable from the tale he is spinning. A solid guess would be that like all good novels, it is autobiographical. Yet it is also much more than that. It is one of those partly truth and partly fiction approaches that leaves us intrigued by which is which, but ultimately, not really caring. In the end, one must decide whether this is just a good read or one that goes beyond that, a wellcrafted reminder of something truly important. That while the wind of technology has blown away a culture monumental in the salvation of our democracy, the lessons we learned should be preserved no matter what the delivery system. It was a grand adventure for those of us privileged to have been a part of it. Newspapers had souls, and those who breathed life into the papers, as flawed personally and spiritually as they may have been, were heroes more often than not. If that analysis seems a bit over the top, so be it. Chalk it up to 60 years of living the experience and loving every moment. There is nothing ponderous about “West End.” Nothing preachy. It merely is a delightfully satisfying yarn well-spun that will leave you wishing for more. The highest compliment I can give it is that I wish I had written it.

direct impact it has on our lives. From work to play, if given the opportunity to assist in a decision that impacts us, few of us would say “I’m too busy.” Let’s say you are making plans with friends. The group is deciding on where to go for dinner. The end result has potential impact on your wallet, your health and welfare and the overall experience. Do we want McDonald’s or The Tavern? If the process is fair and my preferred restaurant isn’t selected, I have at least expressed my opinion and attempted to meet my needs. We don’t pass up the opportunity to vote in every day decisions but we leave the big decisions — who will govern us — to others. Municipal elections, as well as those at the state level, generally generate fewer voters than in presidential election years. In this writer’s humble opinion, the local races — those which often have the greatest impact on our day to day lives — are the elections that are the most important. How we vote and if we vote in the local elections has a direct impact on life here in Centre County. Election Day is approaching quickly. Find out who is running and where they stand on local issues. Learn about their qualifications. Ignore the pricey ads and public relations push. Vote based on the person and not the party. If you don’t exercise your right to vote and leave it up to others to decide, do you give up the right to complain?

HEALTH & WELLNESS

PRO Wellness Center makes BMI screening letter available HERSHEY — The Pennsylvania Department of Health is providing schools with a revised body mass index screening letter developed and tested by Penn State Hershey PRO Wellness Center. The department’s website links to the letter as a suggested template for school districts statewide. The individualized screening letter includes graphics and an explanation of health risks and specific actions that parents could take based on their child’s BMI, leading them to tools and resources for making healthy lifestyle changes for their families. “We are pleased that our research project, involving feedback from parents, has led to a letter that will help inform parents of resources for helping their child reach or maintain a healthy weight,” said Donna Kephart, executive director of the PRO Wellness Center.

In research funded by the Highmark Foundation and conducted by the PRO Wellness Center, the revised letter drew a favorable reaction from parents. Among parents of overweight or obese children, more recipients of the revised letter intended to take action based on information it contained when compared to those receiving the standard letter (68 percent vs. 45 percent). In addition, parents who received the revised as compared to the standard letter were more likely to read the entire letter. “We are pleased to help shape school wellness policy by providing this letter to the commonwealth,” said Kephart. The letter is also featured on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Healthy Schools website. Childhood obesity has become a critical health epidemic, affecting 17 percent of all children and adolescents in the United

States. In 2013, Pennsylvania was named the 20th most-obese state, with 33 percent of school students either overweight or obese. Given the significant amount of time children spend in school, schoolbased behavioral interventions are necessary in the fight against childhood obesity. Students in Pennsylvania get weighed and measured to determine their BMI as a part of state-mandated annual health screenings in schools. Assessing BMI is a quick and simple screening method that can serve as a measure of body fat. Although BMI screening and notification programs hold promise of addressing a serious issue, school-based interventions have been unsuccessful at reducing the prevalence of childhood obesity. This is believed to be due to the lack of follow-up with appropriate nutritional

education programming for children who screen positive as overweight or obese. To address this gap, Penn State Hershey PRO Wellness Center is developing a screening toolkit for addressing children who screen overweight or obese. Resources included in this kit will better prepare practitioners to discuss BMI with their students/patients, address familial barriers to healthy behavior change, determine a protocol for following up with students/patients over time and discuss current trends in obesity prevention. Also, kits will help parents to improve their knowledge of healthy eating and active living behaviors, learn strategies to reduce the BMI of their child, learn to create a healthy environment at home and reinforce healthy behavior messages for overweight/obese children.

Network announces partnership with Penn State football team UNIVERSITY PARK — The Head Health Network has announced a new partnership with the Penn State football team, which will include using HHN’s advanced sensor system in Penn State’s innovative concussion research. This research is built around testing the effectiveness of various concussion-diagnostic tools, such as physical and cognitive testing, virtual reality and bio-markers. “We greatly appreciate the commitment of Penn State University and its football program to play a leading role in making the game of football safer for players of all ages,” said Curtis Cruz, president of Head Health Network. “We are proud to participate in one of the most comprehensive concussion research programs to date.”

For the duration of the season, 24 Penn State football players will be equipped with helmets containing sensors that monitor impacts and relay the data to sideline personnel in real time. In addition to Penn State, HHN has partnered with the Louisiana State University and Texas A&M football teams. “Working with Head Health Network has provided our staff with an effective tool for quantifying the number and type of impacts that our players are experiencing,” said Penn State head football athletic trainer Tim Bream. “We are excited that the information we collect will be utilized to help make the game of football safer for not only our players, but for players of all ages.” Submitted photo

CLARENCE — The Clarence Moose Lodge No. 1565 recently donated 500 Jared Boxes to Mount Nittany Medical Center in State College. On Sept. 8, more than 40 volunteers gathered at the Moose Lodge to put together the Jared Boxes, and a presentation was made later that day, with several volunteers helping to unload the boxes into a storage unit owned by the Jared Box Project. The goal of the nonprofit Jared Box Project is to lift the spirits of children in hospitals. The boxes symbolize the importance of play and are filled with well wishes, hope and love. More than 200,000 Jared Boxes have been delivered across the

United States. A Jared Box is a plastic storage box filled with small gifts, toys, games and fun activities. Each box contains items selected for a specific age and gender. The boxes are delivered to hospitals. Jared Boxes provide a special diversion for young patients in emergency rooms, patient rooms, surgical centers and clinics where they receive chemotherapy and other treatments. The Jared Box Project was started in 2001 by the children at Our Lady of Victory School in State College to honor their classmate and friend, whose battle with cancer ended on Nov. 12, 2000, while listening to his favorite song, “You’ll Be in My Heart.”

Military museum presents living history program By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

BOALSBURG — American military history came alive on in Boalsburg Oct. 24 and 25, when the Pennsylvania Military Museum presented “Then and Now,” a living history encampment and bivouac. The event featured simulated period-correct encampments used by soldiers in all the country’s wars, from the American Revolution to 21st-century conflicts. The encampments featured tents, vehicles and displays of weapons and equipment used by soldiers of the era. Museum educator Joe Horvath, clad in a World War I uniform, led a presentation showing the various uniforms and equipment used by soldiers from the 1700s through now. Horvath noted that much of today’s technology has its roots in military technology from many years ago. The drugs used in modern-day chemotherapy evolved from the use of poison gas used in World War I, and the use of medical ultrasound technology came from sonar technology used by the U.S. Navy in World War II. Horvath presented a reenactor dressed as a German Hessian soldier, contracted by the British to fight the American colonists. He pointed out that the Hessian uniform was brightly colored and featured a very tall hat. “The point of these uniforms on the battlefield was to stand out and intimidate the enemy,” he said. The reenactor demonstrated loading and firing his muzzle-loading rifle. Bob Barry, a member of a Boalsburg-based Civil War reenactor group, wore the uniform of a quartermaster sergeant in Union Army. A soldier’s rank was noted by stripes on the jacket sleeves, and Barry mentioned that ranks were also indicated by the width of stripes on the uniform trousers. Horvath said the blue uniforms, with their red trim, also were designed to be seen on the battlefield. Horvath’s presentation then advanced to the World War I era. He said that advances in weaponry made warfare much deadlier in the early 20th century than ever before. “Uniforms went from being something that you wanted to see on the battlefield to what you didn’t want to see,” he said. “This led to the subdued khakis, grays and browns.” When the war began, soldiers still wore cloth caps, but overhead explosions in combat led to the issuing of helmets for the first time. “The helmet would not stop a bullet, but it would stop shrapnel coming down,” said Horvath. The helmets’ angled brims were designed to deflect shrapnel away from the soldiers. Horvath’s ankles and calves were wrapped with gauzelike cloth, which kept mud out of soldiers’ boots and served as splints for wounds. World War II uniforms were shown next, and Horvath noted some changes in style and weaponry carried by the soldiers. Automatic and semi-automatic rifles were issued,

Helmets were improved for greater protection and featured Bakelite liners. Vietnam War-era uniforms were designed for jungle combat, and featured many pockets to hold equipment. Boots were lighter, and had water drainage holes and metal plates on the soles to protect soldiers from the enemy’s sharpened bamboo “punch sticks” often placed in their paths. The M-16 rifle was issued at that time, but was disliked by soldiers because it was prone to jamming due to low-quality ammunition. The rifle and ammunition was soon improved, and the combo has remained virtually unchanged since 1962. Variations of it are still used in combat today. A reenactor demonstrated the grenade-firing ability of

the rifle using blank ammunition. Another reenactor said that soldiers often carried packets of Kool-Aid to kill the bad taste of drinking water treated with purification tablets. Members of the 28th Division of the Army National Guard concluded the program by showing the uniforms and equipment used by 21st-century soldiers. Designed for desert combat, the uniforms feature camouflage coloring. They use hook-and-loop fasteners instead of buttons or zippers on many parts. Infrared reflectors on the uniforms help to identify the soldiers during night missions with air support, when night-vision equipment is used in the aircraft. The M-4 rifle, a variant of the M-16, is used, and can be equipped with laser and infrared sights. It has a collapsible stock, which makes the weapon smaller and easier to use in buildings and other tight quarters.

The Blonde Cucina: Have a ‘spooktacular’ Halloween OK, all you ghosts and ghouls, Halloween is right around the corner. If you want to ensure you have a frightfully “spooktacular” time, take a few tips from this mummy and you’ll be sure to be a top scream queen. Having a small or large get-together for this frightfully fun holiday doesn’t have to be hard — it can actually be very fun. I have many ghoulish treats and, if you so dare, tricks for your partygoers. Halloween is like the Christmas holiday, but for goblins. Your decorations don’t have to take a long time to create, nor do they have to cost a lot. You can go to a dollar store, complete some DIY items at home and you’re set. For example, you can make tons of creepy cemetery head stones out of just a few items, including old pieces of cardboard, dark gray spray paint Ciara Semack is and a Sharpie marker. the owner of The Blonde Bistro in To begin, use your Bellefonte. Her marker to draw tombcolumn appears stone shapes on the every other week cardboard.

Cut the cardboard shapes out with scissors, then use the spray paint to color the tombstones. Allow to dry, and once ready, use the marker to add “R.I.P.” or funny names such as “Barry A. Live” and “Emma Goner” to the fronts. Place them all around

the house or yard. You can also make a very simple do-ityourself ghost walkway up to your house or in your hallways, guiding your guests to the “Shrunkin’ Dead Head Punch” (we’ll get to that) or the “Bat-room.” To make your walkway, you need clean clear milk jugs, your Sharpie marker and battery-operated artificial candles or strings of holiday lights. Make sure each jug is clean and dry, then use a knife to cut a small hole in the bottom of each. Make ghostly faces using your marker on the front of the jugs, then place your light sources in the bottom. Line jugs along your walkway, hallway or up the steps, then turn your lights on to illuminate the faces. Another great DIY and creepy decoration that can go anywhere is a “specimen jar.” You can make your table or kitchen counters look like a super creepy scientist lab gone oh-so-very-wrong. By tossing just about anything you can imagine into a glass jar with some food coloring and water, you can quickly create a super cheap and tossable Halloween décor item. Begin by collecting a few old glass jars in different sizes. You’ll also need food coloring, water and your “specimens” — old doll heads, plastic spiders, rubber snakes, ping pong balls decorated like eyeballs, old meat gone bad, rubber rats, etc. Wash and dry the jars, decide which objects to place inside, then fill each jar with the object of choice, the water and a drop or two of food coloring. Now you have some fine specimens! You can get super creative and make labels for each jar, or take the fun to another level and make people guess what’s inside, with the ghoul who guesses the most correctly getting a treat. You’ll want to make sure you have deli-

SHRUNKIN’ DEAD HEAD PUNCH

4 cups apple cider 2 cups sparkling water 1 cup cranberry juice 1 cup apple juice 2 sticks cinnamon 2 to 4 apples Heat oven to 275°F. While oven is preheating, peel the skin off the apples and slice in half, removing the cores. Cut faces into the apples using a paring knife. Place apples on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 2 hours, until apples have shrunk a bit and become wrinkly. Mix ingredients for punch together and place apples and cinnamon sticks into the bowl. (If you like, you can heat up this punch and it’s just as yummy. And, if you want to make it for adults, add some caramelflavored vodka.)

Youth football team plays in ‘Super Bowl’ By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — A group of Penns Valley kids played in the Super Bowl this year. Well, not the NFL game, but rather the Juniata Valley Football League championship game at Mitchell Field in Lewistown Oct. 25. The Penns Valley Rams Youth Football Team was one of nine teams from Mifflin, Juniata, Huntingdon and Centre counties in the JVFL. Players on these teams are boys, and a few girls, ages 10 to 13. The games are played following Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletics Association rules, and are overseen by certified PIAA officials. Each game consists of four eightminute quarters, with the clock running continuously. Penns Valley head coach John Crawford said the program began last year, having evolved from a flag football program in the valley. “The old president of the league and I talked about starting a padded program, but it never went through,” he said. “When I became president of the league, I said, ‘We’re going to do this.’” Crawford said the players’ parents were in favor of his proposal, so fundraising projects were organized to pay for equipment and the team was formed in 2014. The team had a rough start in its first year, finishing with a 3-6 record, but saw improvement this year, carrying a 7-1 record to the Super Bowl. Crawford’s team roster numbers 40 players, and they use the Penns Valley High School field for their practice sessions. Crawford praised the support of

He also is proud of his team’s abilities. “We’ve got some good runners, good receivers and guys on the front line,” he said. “This is pretty good bunch of kids — that’s for sure.” Crawford noted that the Penns Valley Rams team received some help from State College Lions coach Jay Kisslak when the team began. “He’s a really good man

With a successful two-point conversion, the Lions took an 8-0 lead. In the second half, the Rams marched to the Lions 20-yard line, but were unable to score. The Lions took over the ball on downs, then one of their players scampered 89 yards for a touchdown. The twopoint conversion attempt failed, giving the Lions a 14-0 lead, which turned out to be the final score.

and a good coach,” said Crawford. The Rams only loss this season was by two points to State College, the team they also ended up facing during the Super Bowl game. The first half of the game was a defensive battle, with neither team becoming a scoring threat until the Lions scored on a 40-yard pass-and-run play with just 10 seconds left on the clock.

UNIVERSITY PARK — The Penn State College of Communications has teamed up with the Library of Congress to record and preserve the accounts of U.S. military war veterans for the Veterans History Project. Coordinators of the project are seeking veterans to participate in interviews that will take place during the weeks of Tuesday, Dec. 1, and Tuesday, Dec. 8, on the University Park campus. The interviews will be conducted by students in a television studio production course led by senior lecturer Maria Cabrera-Baukus. Any war veteran is eligible to participate in the interviews. Before the interview, students in charge of the interview will contact veteran to ask some preliminary questions about their service. During the interview, veterans will be taped and asked about their service. Baukus, who has collected more than 100 interviews for the project since 2003, said veterans may bring memorabilia related to their service to the interview. These items can include, but are not limited to, articles, letters, medals, pictures and uniforms. These items will be videotaped and included in the finished oral history video.

Veterans who participate in the interviews will get DVD copies of their interviews. Veterans interested in having their oral histories recorded should contact CabreraBaukus by email at mcb7@psu.edu, or by mail at 103 Innovation Blvd., Suite 205, University Park, PA 16802. They also can call and leave a message at (814) 865-3068. Interviews need to be confirmed by midNovember. The Veterans History Project, which focuses on collecting accounts from war veterans, was created by Congress in 2000. The purpose of the Veterans History Project is to preserve and make accessible personal accounts from U.S. military veterans, so that future generations may better understand realities of war. The wars included in the project are: World War I (1914-1920), World War II (1939-1946), the Korean War (1950-1955), the Vietnam War (1961-1975), the Persian Gulf War (1990-1995) and the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts (2001-present). Interviews conducted by Cabrera-Baukus and her students have been archived at the Library of Congress, the Pennsylvania Military Museum in Boalsburg and in the Eberly Family Special Collections Library at Penn State.

ILLINOIS VS. PENN STATE

NOON

TV: ESPN2

After surviving against Maryland, Lions turn focus to Illinois By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

UNIVERSITY PARK — In many ways, Penn State ran into a perfect storm when it took on rejuvenated Maryland Oct. 24 at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. The Nittany Lions survived — if that’s the word — in a 31-30 game that had seven lead changes, 829 yards of offense and eight turnovers. The Lions sealed the win when Malik Golden picked up PSU’s third interception of the day with just more than a minute left to play and then ran out the clock for their sixth win. Two weeks earlier, after the Terps 49-28 loss to Ohio State, their team was in turmoil. Maryland lost its fifth game of the season, few of the offensive skill positions were set, the defense was giving up 500 yards per game and the university had just fired head coach Randy Edsall. Things were not good. But Maryland appointed experienced, long-time assistant coach and offensive coordinator Mike Locksley as interim coach, and he immediately had a calming influence on the whole situation. The Terps also had a week off to not only get acclimated to Locksley’s style, but to also prepare for the Nittany Lions. Maryland beat Penn State by a point in 2014 on a last-second field goal by Brad Craddock, in what was perhaps the low point of the Nittany Lions’ season. Craddock was still around, and so were many of the Maryland players from that game, so why not start anew with a win against a PSU team that also just lost to Ohio State? That was the plan, and Maryland came into M&T loose, well prepared and with a ton of surprises up its sleeves. “They came out and threw the kitchen sink at us,” is the way Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg described it. But Hackenberg had some surprises of his own. He threw for 315 yards, three touchdowns and was not intercepted. He completed touchdown passes of 37 yards to Chris Godwin, 20 yards to DaeSean Hamilton and 27 yards to Geno Lewis, the

last putting Penn State ahead 31-27 with 13:30 still left to play. The defense, gouged all day by the running and passing of Terp quarterback Perry Hills, stepped up when it had to and did the rest. “I thought early on the mobile quarterback was a pain,” Penn State coach James Franklin said. “All the run-pass options kind of get you on your heels. Because we are so aggressive on stopping the run, they pull the ball out and now the linebackers are vacated and then they throw the ball. “They are also doing a quarterback running game. So you have to stop the running back, you have to stop the quarterback and you have to stop the run-pass options. It’s a challenge. The most important thing is that we held them to one less point than our offense scored. “Great win on the road in the Big Ten. We are 1-0 this week. We are bowl eligible. We will talk about it for about 30 seconds and then move on and go back to being 1-0 again.” Which means that Penn State will bring that 1-0 record into the Saturday, Oct. 31. Big Ten matchup against Illinois at Beaver Stadium. Illinois is 4-3 this season overall and 1-2 in the conference and is coming off a 24-13 loss to Wisconsin in a game that the Illini led 13-10 midway through the third quarter. After winning four of its first five games — including a 14-13 win in the Big Ten opener at Nebraska — Illinois has now lost two in a row. But those two losses have come to the 6-2 Badgers and undefeated Iowa, 29-20, on the road in Iowa City. “We just didn’t make the plays,” Illinois coach Bill Cubit said after the Wisconsin game. “They did, we didn’t. I thought our kids fought, even until the very end. They kept on fighting, but we just weren’t good enough today. That’s not lack of passion.

PENN STATE’S Malik Golden intercepts a pass during the Oct. 24 game at Maryland. The Nittany Lions generated five turnovers in the 31-30 victory.

“There’s a lot of season left. I think there’s a lot of good things that could really happen with this football team.” The Illini average just over 26 points per game, and they gain more than twice as much yardage through the air as they do on the ground. They gain 125 yards per game running and nine touchdowns against 259 yards passing and 11 touchdowns. Quarterback Wes Lunt leads the Illinois passing attack with 158 completions in 256 attempts for 1,702 yards and 11 touchdowns. Lunt was 22 for 43 for 278 yards and an interception against Wisconsin. Ke’Shawn Vaughn leads the Illini runners with 447 yards and four touchdowns, with Josh Ferguson just behind at 397 yards and three scores. Illinois has five receivers with more than 100 yards in reception yards, with 6-foot-4 senior Geronimo Allison leading with 48 catches for 700 yards and three touchdowns. Malik Turner (235 yards), Desmond Cain (211), Marchie Murdoch (194) and Dionte Taylor (135) are all in the mix. Defensively, Illinois allows 20 points per game and 344 yards of total offense. Teams run for only 149 yards and scored just five touchdowns against the Illini, and Illinois has eight sacks and intercepted nine passes. “I told them in there,” Cubit added, “I think the true measure of a man is not that you get knocked down. It that when you get knocked down, you’ve got to get back up. I think that’s what we’ve got to do. We’ve got to realize, we’ve got to go in there, and we’ve got to watch the tape. Everybody’s got to man up, coaches, players, and we’ve got to fix it.” For Penn State, there are bits of good news coming after the win at Maryland. The Lions are now bowl-eligible, but at 3-1 they are also in contention in the Big Ten East. So, every game down the final four-game stretch is important, beginning with the Illini game. The Maryland game may also have been the last time this season the Lions will face a Perry Hills-P.J. WalkerTreat, Page 22

The good, the bad and the ugly: Penn State squeaks by Maryland While it certainly wasn’t pretty, Penn State’s 31-30 victory over Maryland on Oct. 24 at Baltimore’s M&T Bank Stadium got the job done. With the win, the Nittany Lions became bowl-eligible for the second time in as many years under head coach James Franklin. Last year, of course, the Lions landed in the Pinstripe Bowl. This year, they’re shooting for bigger and better things. The Lions return home for a Halloween tilt with Illinois Saturday, Oct. 31. Certainly, there will be many tricks and treats and in that game, but let’s take a quick look back at the good, bad and ugly from last week’s game in Baltimore. The good — Christian Hackenberg. Although he was far from perfect, Hack returned with a solid effort against the Terps. He completed 13 of 29 for 315 yards and three touchdowns. Most importantly, he did not throw an interception. He was

sacked three times in the contest. While it wasn’t his best performance, it was more than solid and easily qualifies as our “good” of the week. The bad — The defense. While both defenses were bad, Penn State’s stood out. The Nittany Lions gave up nearly 500 yards of offense to the Terps and surrendered several leads in the contest. The saving grace for the Lions was the fact that they were able to generate five turnovers. They came up with several big stops. In the end, that’s all that matters, we guess. The ugly — Maryland football. Talk about a program that is going downhill fast. The Terps fired Randy Edsall a few weeks back and have been a dumpster fire since. The fact that they were in the game against the Lions speaks volumes about interim coach Mike Locksley. — Chris Morelli

Time to ask the question: Is 6-2 all that bad? By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — I’ll preface this by saying I don’t pay to go to Penn State football games, home or away. You do. And, as such, you have a right to complain about whatever you want. For a few hundred dollars a week, just about anything you don’t like is fair game to take issue with. That’s how paying for something works. If you think Penn State should throw it 40 yards every play and want to shout it from your seat, go right ahead. I’m not stopping you. Heck, even people who watch from home have the right, with free speech being what it is. But when did 6-2 become such a horrible thing? If this sounds like advocating on behalf of James Franklin, it isn’t. There are real and very serious questions he and his staff will have to answer sooner rather than later, such as who will be the replacement for Christian Hackenberg. The ability to coach and develop players, make game plans and adjust, those things go largely unanswered and are in need of answering over the next few years. There is, however, some context to consider.

Since the 2000 season, Penn State has started 6-2 or better on just five occasions prior to this year. To a certain extent, the vast majority of this success was the result of largely the same roster or, in the very least, some recurring cast members. Nevertheless, the past 15 years of Penn State football’s history has not been riddled with much more than better-thanaverage play coupled with unremarkable campaigns. For sure, the Big Ten titles and the very real chance at a national title shot make the highs extremely high, but for the most part these seasons were not bookended by relentless success at a high level. Similarly, Penn State’s record against Top 25 opponents has been less than stellar. Over that same span, Penn State has won just 17 games against teams in the Top 25 with seven of those wins coming over the course of two seasons. What is even more telling, those 17 wins came in 55 attempts against Top 25 opponents — a winning percentage of just less than 30 percent. Compared to the program’s history, that’s a remarkably low rate. From 1985 through 1999, Penn State won 56 percent of its chances — 34 wins against ranked teams, 34 wins in 61 attempts. From 1970 to 1984 the Nittany Lions were ripping off wins in the Top 25 60 percent of the time,

with 31 wins in 52 attempts. The result is a Penn State program that has won 82 games against ranked teams since 1970 in 168 tries, a 49 percent success rate that is largely supported by games decades in the past. For comparisons, Ohio State has lost 120 games as a program since 1970, but Penn State has lost 86 games in that span to ranked opponents alone. And this comes back to the always present question of what Penn State football is right now. A sleeping giant? A program with tradition that’s best days are behind it? Or, maybe Penn State is a program that had been crippled with sanctions unlike the sport has ever seen. A program with good recruiting on the way and to-be-determined coaching to mold it into something more. A program in a place where winning wasn’t a guarantee in 2015 no matter who the coach was. A program that is only just a little bit better than the programs it always used to beat. A program where even that might

only be true when everything goes its way. And, a program where there are finally enough good players to have meaningful practices. These things don’t excuse Franklin and company for everything they do between now and some nonspecific time down the road. But these things are difficult to change with the power of positive thinking. If nothing else, Penn State football has only just been getting by for a while now and time will tell if Franklin is the man to change that. At the end of the day, though, Penn State has been a middle-of-the-pack program with an above-average history for longer than most fans want to admit. Getting knocked down a few pegs from there doesn’t set up well for an overnight rebuild. Nuclear fallout doesn’t just blow away with the wind. Feel free to complain, for as much money as hotels and tickets cost, it’s hard not to. But, at least your team is winning.

Hunt with your ears to yield results Most people hunt with their eyes and, to be honest, that is what I think about when I am daydreaming about hunting. However, when I am actually out there hunting, I am often hunting with my ears. This really hit home as I was sitting in the deer woods with a crossbow across my lap several evenings ago. A slight rustling of the leaves perked my attention. Was it a squirrel, an approaching deer or maybe another animal? Closer attention to the sound revealed that it was likely a squirrel. A few moments later, the noisemaker— a gray squirrel — showed his face. Another sound caught my attention; I thought that it was the feet of a bird scratchRetired biology ing on the bark of a teacher Mark nearby tree.

The wind creates an abundance of noise, making it difficult for the deer to hear. I do not think that they like moving or feeding when they cannot hear. The number one rule of hunting with your ears is not making any noise yourself. If I am hunting from the ground, the first thing that I do is clear away all of the leaves in a small circle.

cured tightly in place and that no sound is created when you shift positions. There is no use waiting for hours up in a tree, only to be given away by a squeaky treestand. Oil, grease and sometimes graphite fixes the problem. I have observed that most animals are aware of the noise they make. If not pushed, deer move more slowly when the leaves are dry. Squirrels tend to travel by using logs and jumping from tree trunk to tree trunk, so as not to alert others to their presence. Being primarily a stand hunter, I appreciate a noisy woods. I love dry “rice crispy” leaves or a crusty snow. The same rain or fresh, soft snow that makes it easier for hunters to stalk deer also allows the deer to move noiselessly. Given a choice, I prefer the noise. Just the same as deer, I do not like hunting in a gusting wind. I love being able to hear nature’s sounds — particularly while deer hunting. On many occasions, it has been a noise that alerted me to an approaching buck, rather than me spotting it with my eyes first. I harvested my largest buck because a noise caused me to direct my attention in the opposite direction. The call of a blue jay, the scratching of a wild turkey, the chattering of a red squirrel — to a good hunter, all of these sounds have a meaningful translation. Misinterpreting a sound once almost cost me a nice buck. It was the opening day of buck season and I was hunting on State Game Lands 73 in Bedford County. It was a very cold morning and I was wearing gloves — not something that I like to do while deer hunting. Each time I heard a suspicious noise, I removed the glove from my shooting hand. Daylight arrived and the first noise turned out to be a gray squirrel prospecting for acorns. Ditto for second, third and fourth noises, and my fingers were freezing. Noise number five was likely just another squirrel, so I kept my glove on, trying to thaw my fingers. Moments later, a

INTERPRETING NATURAL SOUNDS correctly could help you bag a nice buck. heavily-antlered buck came into view and I was standing there with a glove covering my trigger finger. I had no chance to take off the glove. I attempted the shot while wearing the glove. The .270 cracked and the buck ran down the mountainside. I found a disappointingly small amount of blood and tracked the buck down the mountain. Luckily, it crossed the path of no other hunters. I caught up with it 45 minutes

later and was able to deliver a killing shot. My original shot missed its mark — hitting only muscle in the nine-point’s right front leg. That mistake should not happen again. I now wear camo mittens with a slot for poking my finger out. Close your eyes the next time that you are hunting. What do you hear? If you are like me, you probably depend more on your ears than you had realized.

Getting his kicks

Two-sport star Austin Krise plays football at West Branch, soccer at P-O By PAT ROTHDEUSTCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

PHILIPSBURG — During a recent Philipsburg-Osceola soccer game played on the P-O football field, Mountie forward Austin Krise blasted a 35-yard shot that looked to be dead-center on the goal. The ball sailed just high, and it continued over the goal and through the football uprights. There was a murmur in the crowd, not only because of the velocity of the shot and the close miss, but for another reason. After the whistle, someone yelled, “Austin, you don’t get three points for that in this game.” Krise knew, but he would no doubt be forgiven if he mixed up his sports once in a while. Not only is Krise one of the highest-scoring and most-feared soccer players in Centre County, but he kicks field goals and extra points on the football field as well. That may not sound that far out of the ordinary — lots of soccer players kick for football teams — but Krise does more than kick in football, and he plays for West Branch High School in Morrisdale, not Philipsburg-Osceola. What? Because West Branch does not have a varsity soccer program, Krise and other West Branch players compete in soccer on the Philipsburg-Osceola High team. So, Krise attends and plays football for West Branch and then drives 8 miles south and plays soccer for PhilipsburgOsceola. And both schools reap the benefits. In football this season through seven games, Krise has completed 10 of 14 extra-point attempts, made two field goals for a total of 16 points and handles the kickoff duties. He is also the leading wide receiver for the Warriors with 16 catches for 326 yards and five touchdowns. He averages 20

PHILIPSBURG-OSCEOLA’S Austin Krise dribbles through traffic during a recent game with Bellefonte. Krise plays soccer and football at two different high schools. yards per catch and chalked up a 71-yard touchdown against Claysburg-Kimmel. He also plays defense, but enough about football, which, compared to soccer, is his second sport. On the soccer field, Krise has another gear. He is a four-year starter for P-O and is a seniorcaptain for the Mounties. So far this season, Krise has scored 26 goals and handed out nine assists for Philipsburg, which is even more impressive when all the attention he draws from the other teams is considered. Krise now has 53 career goals, and the only person ever to score more goals in a season for P-O is Ryan Coble, who scored 33 in 1996. With two regular-season games to go and the playoffs, it is still possible for Krise to catch or surpass Coble’s record.

Krise is originally from Clearfield and moved to West Branch in fifth grade. He immediately began playing soccer in Philipsburg. “I have been playing for P-O soccer ever since I moved to West Branch in fifth grade,” he said. “West branch and P-O have always co-oped, so I just went with the flow the whole way up into my freshman year when I started playing for the high school team. “I don’t think I could have had a better freshman year and sophomore year. Most kids can’t stay they have won two district titles in a row.” Those two district titles came with the Mounties in 2012 and 2013, and although they lost in the playoffs last season, P-O will be looking to be back in contention in 2015. This season, the Mounties are 9-3-3 and are presently on a six-

game streak without a loss (one tie). Most of the P-O offense has come from Krise and fellow forward Anthony Cassler, who is also a WB student. “Most of the coaches in our league,” Philipsburg-Osceola coach Shawn Inlow said, “will tell you that Austin is unplayable. He’s 6-foot-4, got sprinters’ speed, he’s got the leap of Godzilla and he’s murder in the air. You can’t beat him. You really have to prepare for Austin. “He’s unselfish as well. He has nine assists, so that means that he has been involved in 35 goals this season, either scoring them or providing them.” Goals and assists aside, for Krise it is all about his team and his teammates. “Ever since I was a freshman,” he said, “the kids who have been playing with me up until my senior year have been Kyle Albert,

Anthony Cassler and Nathan Kristofits, who are all seniors as well. “We have had long and very successful seasons of soccer together. We are also very passionate when we play and that’s what I love most about our team. We are serious when we really need to be.” As the regular-season draws to a close and the playoffs loom, the Mounties have been very serious indeed. They have won six in a row and have already clinched a playoff position. It’s just a matter of where the committee places P-O in the tournament. “It’s all about the seeding now,” Inlow said. “Huntingdon and Bedford are powers, and Bedford won last year’s title. We have been wanting a shot at Bedford for a while and we hope it happens.” For Krise, this year’s playoffs will be the close of a major part of his high-school career. “Being a senior right now is catching up to me,” he said. It’s all going so fast, but playing soccer for the varsity squad and having three winning seasons is any athlete’s dream. “Right now, our team is 9-3-3, and I believe we have got a lot of potential. I’m already thinking about districts and hopefully more. We can definitely do some damage.” When the District 6 soccer pairings were announced on Oct. 25, P-O found out it would begin the tournament against one of the teams Inlow mentioned: Huntingdon at Huntingdon in the first round. If the Mounties advance after that game, they will take on the winner of the Forest Hills and Somerset match Monday, Nov. 2, at a site yet to be determined. And after soccer and football are over? Don’t expect Krise to sit around. He is a high-scoring guard on a very good Warrior basketball team, and he very well might choose basketball to play in college.

State College rolls past Central Dauphin East, 35-7 By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — State College running back Tristen Lyons knew there wouldn’t be loads of playing time for the Little Lions this season as backup to senior Jordan Misher. So when Lyons’ opportunity came to start in place of the injured Misher against Central Dauphin East on Oct. 23, he was ready and willing to step in. Turns out, he was more than able as well. The 5-foot-5, 165-pound sophomore ran 24 times for 226 yards — 197 in the first half alone — as SC piled up a total of 337 yards on the ground and wore down C.D. East in an impressive 35-7 victory. The Little Lions spotted East an early touchdown and then roared back for a 20-7 halftime lead and followed that with two more touchdowns in the second half to lock up the win. Tyler Snyder, Drew Friberg, Kellin Valentine and Pete Haffner (twice) scored the touchdowns for SC, but the darting, twisting runs by Lyons were instrumental in every Lion scoring drive except a 58-yard burst by Haffner. “They told me all week to get my game up,” Lyons said, “because I have to start this game. So all week I got myself mentally and physically prepared to do what I had to do. “I was a little nervous — this was my

first varsity game starting and with people counting on me to do good. I didn’t know how much yardage I had. I hoped I had a lot. I was hoping that I did (play well), and I knew that I could.” Tied with State College in the Mid-Penn standings, C.D. East came into Memorial Field prepared. The Panthers took the opening kickoff and surprised the Lions with a three-play, 61-yard touchdown drive that took barely more than a minute to complete. East quarterback Jahad Neibauer found wide receiver Aaron Arp open over the middle and Arp completed the 27-yard scoring play and gave East a 7-0 lead. It turned out to be the Panthers’ only scoring play of the night. “The kids really settled in (on defense),” State College coach Matt Lintal said. “They (C.D. East) have some speed, and our kids settled into that speed and really made some great plays after that drive. Our defensive line was in their backfield creating havoc the whole night, and our secondary held up well.” With the defense adjusting to the East speed, the SC offense made quick work of the seven-point Panther lead, although there was a bit of trouble along the way. After Arp’s touchdown, State College took the kickoff and immediately drove 61 yards and tied the score. Lyons accounted for 47 of those yards, and Snyder did the honors with an 8-yard run. State College, however, lost fumbles on

The Little Lions won the game, 35-7. its next two possessions, with the second one coming disastrously on its own 1-yard line. East looked like a sure bet to reclaim the lead from there, but the Little Lions took it right back after forcing Neibauer to fumble the ball into the end zone for a touchback.

“We gave up the ball on the 1-yard line,” Lintal said, “and they (the SC defenders) found a way to get it back. Coach (Mike) Snyder tells them to defend every inch, every play, and that’s what they did. State College, Page 25

Central scores early and often in rout of Bellefonte By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

MARTINSBURG — Bellefonte’s luck ran out quickly on Oct. 23. The first time Central touched the football — on the opening kickoff — it scored. However, there was a penalty flag on the return for an illegal block and the touchdown was negated. On its first play from scrimmage, the Scarlet Dragons went 50 yards on a running play for a score. Again, a penalty — this time a hold — brought it back. Once Central cleaned up its act and eliminated the penalties, the Scarlet Dragons were off and running. Central put up four first-quarter touchdowns and raced out to a 48-13 halftime lead in a 55-20 rout of the Red Raiders. It was just one of those nights for the Red Raiders, who fell to 2-6 on the season. “(Central) has some really good athletes and we had a really hard time matching up with them tonight,” Bellefonte head coach Shanon Manning said matter-of-factly. “Until you look at the tape sometimes, you can’t deterState College, from page 24 “That was a huge moment there, not giving up that score, and a big momentum shift.” State College took over the ball on the 20 and took over the game as well. The Little Lions scored two consecutive touchdowns, both after 80-yard drives and both spurred the running of Lyons. Fullback Pete Haffner chalked up the first one from 2 yards out to give SC a 14-7 lead, and then five minutes later Friberg pushed it in from the 6. The extra point was not good, but SC still had a two-score lead at 20-7. And Lyons had a 197-yard first half. “He (Lyons) hides back there,” Lintal said. “We have a big ol’ line and he just kind of sneaks around behind them until he finds a hole and bursts through it. “Tristen has played, so we know what he can do. It’s nice when one guy can’t go, then another guy can step in there and make plays. “And our (offensive) line does a great job. They play disciplined football, and they come off the ball really well.” The second half was even better for State College on both sides of the ball. The defense gave up a total of only 53 yards after halftime, and the offense continued to move the ball. Haffner made it 28-7 with a 58-yard strike straight up the middle in which he outran everyone in the CDE secondary just after

mine if they were that good or if we were that off. In a game like this, it’s hard to make a real good assessment.” Once Central was able to find the end zone without a flag hitting the field, it was off and running. The Scarlet Dragons (7-1) put up 28 of their 48 first-half points in the first quarter. “I think our team speed was more than they could match,” said Central head coach Dave Baker. “They had trouble containing our returns. The big plays, of course, they a little trouble with that.” Central scored through the air twice and on the ground once before Bellefonte could hit paydirt. Senior Nick Jabco, who came into the game as a bit of a wildcat quarterback, took a snap and went 45 yards for the Red Raiders’ first score of the night. That made it 21-7 and got Bellefonte back into the game — at least temporarily. “We’ve been repping that over the past couple of weeks; we’ve been working on it. It’s kind of a wildcat set. We didn’t want to use it too much until we were able to throw the ball out of it. We wanted to use it last week, it just wasn’t there yet,” Manning said.

But the spark that Jabco provided didn’t last long. The Scarlet Dragons returned the ensuing kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown to make it 28-7. Central also posted the next three scores — all in the second quarter — to make it 48-7 before Austin Jackson scored from 43 yards out to make it 48-13 at the intermission. The second half was more of the same. Central scored on a 55-yard run in the third quarter to extend its lead to 55-13. The Red Raiders’ final tally of the night came on a 3-yard TD run by Tyler Kreger. That score set the final at 55-20. Bellefonte will try to get back on the winning track this week when it visits Chestnut Ridge on Friday, Oct. 30. It’s the second of three road games Bellefonte has to close out the season. “This was very strange for us,” Manning said of being on the road. “We’ve been on the road once in six weeks. But I was glad to be on the road, quite honestly. This, obviously, isn’t how I wanted it to go, but we had to start to make the transition.”

the third quarter came to a close. Then, after a short East punt, the Lions added their final touchdown on a 21-yard, Snyder-to-Valentine pass that upped the score to 35-7. “You see Pete (Haffner) in the open field out-running guys,” Lintal said, “so you know he’s got some wheels. He’s got a lot of power, and Tristen is super shifty and I’m really proud of those guys and what they did. But, obviously, it all starts up front.” Now things get interesting for State College. The Little Lions will have Cumberland Valley on Friday, Oct. 30, when CV visits Memorial Field. With a victory over Central

Dauphin, Cumberland Valley is the only remaining unbeaten team in the Commonwealth Division. The Little Lions will by vying for a share of the lead in the division in that game, while Cumberland Valley will be looking to stay unbeaten and all but wrap up the title.

High school football enters final weeks of play By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

As local teams enter the final two weeks of the 2015 season, there will be big doings Friday, Oct. 30, in State College, as well as a full slate of games for the rest of the Centre County teams:

CUMBERLAND VALLEY (7-1, 5-0) AT STATE COLLEGE (5-3, 4-1)

State College was without its all-everything senior running back Jordan Misher for its Mid-Penn game against Central Dauphin East Oct. 23. In his place, sophomore Tristen Lyons ran for 226 yards on 26 carries and Pete Haffner scored two touchdowns and ran for another 67 yards in SC’s 35-7 win. The victory for the Little Lions was their fifth of the season against three losses, but more importantly it kept them within a game of the lead in the very competitive Commonwealth Division. And this week’s foe just happens to be Cumberland Valley, the team presently leading the division with a perfect 5-0 Mid-Penn record and an overall record of 7-1. Cumberland Valley’s only loss this season came against Bishop McDevitt, but it’s a safe bet that the Oct. 23 victory over archrival Central Dauphin more than made up for the McDevitt loss. Against CD, Cumberland Valley rallied from a 14-point deficit and overtook the Rams with a 17-point fourth quarter to pull off a nail-biting 24-21 win. CV kicker Connor Long calmly knocked through a 40-yard field goal as time expired to give the Eagles their second consecutive win over Central Dauphin. The victory over CD was Cumberland Valley’s fifth in a row, and the Eagles did it the way they always do — with a punishing running game and a solid defense. And running back/wide receiver/place kicker Long. Cumberland Valley runs for an average of just fewer than 250 yards per game and scores 38 points. Although the Eagles pass for just 68 yards each game, quarterback Josh Ferguson keeps defenses honest by throwing for more than 500 yards this season and eight touchdowns. Senior fullback Joey Heikel leads the running game for the Eagles with 567 yards in eight games and nine touchdowns, with Nick Rhodes (506 yards) and Long (300 yards)

also threats. Heikel ran for 111 yards in the Eagles’ win over CD. Long is the leading threat at wide receiver with 17 catches for more than 300 yards and four touchdowns, but 6-foot-3 sophomore wideout Charlie Katshir had a breakout game against the Rams with seven catches for 125 yards and two touchdowns. And for good measure, Long has made 32 extra points this year and five field goals (long of 47), including the 40yard winner in the CD game. The Little Lions road into this game has been a hilly one, with two losses to begin the season, a three-game win streak, a loss to Central Dauphin and, now, two important wins over Harrisburg and C.D. East. Misher has been the leader and the spark for the Little Lions all season, and his return — or not — for this game will be a key factor. If he can’t go, Lyons and Haffner will be looked on to duplicate the success they had against East. Quarterbacks Tyler Snyder and Drew Friberg both scored touchdowns against East, with Snyder taking the www.jabcoautosales.com

bulk of the snaps in that game. Kellin Valentine, who also scored on a pass from Snyder in the East game, is a threat in both the running and passing game. The State College defense showed up big-time against CDE, and it will need to be in top form against CV. Like all games that are this close on paper and this important, it may come down to mistakes. Cumberland Valley has given up the ball only seven times this season, so any turnover in this game will be a significant one. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Memorial Field

BELLEFONTE (2-6) AT CHESTNUT RIDGE (5-3)

Bellefonte traveled to Martinsburg Oct. 23 looking for its third win of the season, but the powerful Central Dragons put on a show in the first half that swamped the Raiders. Central scored four first-quarter touchdowns, and then added another three in the second on the way to a 55-20 Football, Page 28

Football, from page 27 win. Bellefonte scored three touchdowns in the game — which would normally keep the Raiders competitive in a game — but there was no catching up with Central. This week, the Raiders travel to Chestnut Ridge for a non-league match-up against the Lions. Chestnut Ridge is 5-3 this season, and the Lions have, frankly, been feasting on Centre County teams. Four of their wins — including

OCTOBER 29-NOVEMBER 4, 2015

the Oct. 23 23-12 win at Penns Valley — have come against local teams, and CR has won those game by a total of 15319. Chestnut Ridge sophomore quarterback Logan Hauk has completed more than 60 percent of his passes this season, and he averages 160 yards per game. He has almost 1,400 yards through the air so far and 16 touchdowns. Against PV, he was 20-29 for 186 yards and two scores.

Bellefonte can score points, and this game will come down to how well the Raider defense can contain Hauk. PV held him down for the first half, and if the Raiders can extend that to four quarters, this could be win No. 3. Game time is 7 p.m.

PENNS VALLEY (2-6) AT TYRONE (6-2)

Penns Valley had difficulty getting its offense started against Chestnut Ridge Oct. 23, but its defense held it in the game until the fourth quarter. Unfortunately, CR’s Logan Hauk started finding the range late in the game, and the Rams fell 23-12. On Friday, Oct. 30, PV will travel to Tyrone to face a typically tough and competitive Golden Eagle team. Tyrone is 6-2 this season, and its only losses have come to Central (41-14) and Clearfield (34-17). Last week, the Eagles stepped out of their class and squeezed past AAAA Central Mountain, 21-20. The Rams will not be able to concentrate on the passing or running game of Tyrone because the Eagles are almost perfectly balanced — they run for 170 yards per game and pass for 168. Tyrone is also fighting for seeding position in the upcoming AA playoffs, so the Eagles will be prepared to play. Penns Valley saw quarterback Andrew Tobias return for last week’s game, and Ben Alexander scored two long touchdowns. Those two, and the PV defense, will have to be on the top of their games.

JERSEY SHORE (6-2) AT BALD EAGLE AREA (1-7)

Jersey Shore is coming off a 42-10 loss to very good Selinsgrove Oct. 23, but previous to that, the Bulldogs had won five straight. Jersey Shore is primarily a running team, and the Bulldogs have a premier back in senior Levi Lorson. The 5-foot9, 195-pound tailback has carried 249 times this season for 1,528 yards and 14 touchdowns. No one else on the team has more than 33 carries, so the mission for the BEA defense is clear — slow down Lorson. Bellefonte did it for the most part in Week 1, but the Raiders couldn’t quite hold on in a 14-6 loss. BEA was up against in last week against Clearfield, but the Eagles moved the ball better than they had been. So the onus will fall on the BEA defense, which has had stretches of extremely good play this season. Game time is set for 7 p.m.

CLEARFIELD (7-1) AT PHILIPSBURG-OSCEOLA (0-8)

This is a traditional rivalry game, but the Bison right now are on a roll with seven in a row and P-O is struggling to stay competitive. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. in Philipsburg.

ST. JOE’S (1-7) AT MARION CENTER (1-7)

St. Joseph’s Academy will complete its season with a winnable game at Marion Center (1-7), which has lost its last seven games in a row. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

Franklin declares no interest in Miami job By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

James Franklin put to rest any speculation that he would be interested in the newly opened Miami head coaching job during a weekly press conference on Oct. 27. “I don’t like it,” Franklin said. “I think it causes a distraction for our team. I think it’s a distraction for Penn State, and I have no idea where it comes from. My family has sacrificed, I’ve worked ... to be here and this is where I want to be. Stuff like that, I guess some people can look at it as PATRICK SEMANSKY/AP Photo

PENN STATE head coach James Franklin watched from the sidelines as the Nittany Lions improved to 6-2 overall with a thrilling 31-30 win over Maryland.

A closer look at Penn State’s possible bowl destinations By MARLEY PAUL StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State is bowl eligible for the second season in row in what would have been year three of the NCAA sanction that levied a four-year postseason ban on the program. After an 0-2 start on the road, Penn State traveled to Baltimore for a neutral site game with Maryland at M&T Bank Stadium and held on for a 31-30 win over one of many former employers of head coach James Franklin. At 6-2, Franklin and the Lions clinch bowl eligibility three weeks earlier than last season, when a 30-13 toppling of Temple on Nov. 15 sent the Nittany Lions to the Pinstripe Bowl where they’d eventually top Boston College, courtesy of 371 passing yards and four touchdowns from Christian Hackenberg. That 31-30 win over Boston College was the first Penn State bowl win since since the 19-17 win against LSU on 2010 New Years day in the Capital One Bowl. But what bowl will Penn State partake in this winter? With five weeks of football left, it’s still early to be be sure, but one projection currently slates another homecoming for Franklin. CBS Sports bowl expert Jerry Palm currently has Penn State slated for a Dec. 30 6

p.m. showdown against Mississippi State at the Music City Bowl in Nashville, Tennessee. A bowl game in Nashville would see Franklin revisiting more familiar territory as he spent three seasons as head coach of Vanderbilt University, located just five miles from the bowl game site, prior to taking his current job at Penn State. In 2012, Franklin led No. 23 Vanderbilt to a 38-24 win over North Carolina State in the Music City Bowl, his first of back-toback bowl wins at “the other school,” as he prefers to say. Last season, Notre Dame edged LSU 31-28 with a 32-yard field goal as time expired. Tigers running back Leonard Fournette had a monster game in a losing effort, racking up 143 rushing yards and a score plus a 100-yards kickoff return for another score. Penn State has played in 45 bowl games in the its 128 seasons, tied for ninth most in the nation, while winning 28 of them, tied for third in the nation. Other bowl projections from ESPN.com has Penn State playing Georgia in the Outback Bowl on Jan. 1 at noon, per ESPN senior writer Mark Schlabach; meanwhile college football reporter Brett McMurphy has a late Dec. 30 matchup against USC at the National University Holiday Bowl in San Diego, California., with a 10:30 p.m. ET kickoff.

a compliment. I don’t. ... Not going to address it anymore, this is where I want to be.” While nothing meaningful has surfaced to seriously link Franklin and Miami, several national outlets took the liberty of naming Franklin as at least a hypothetical target for the opening, with CBS including vague wording to further substantiate that claim. Penn State faces Illinois on Saturday, Oct. 31, at home, as the Nittany Lions look to go 7-2 on the year. James Franklin is 13-8 in Happy Valley, just two wins shy of matching Bill O’Brien’s win total.

Nittany Notes: Scouting the Illini By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — It will be another three weeks before Penn State takes to the field at Beaver Stadium, as the Lions will travel to Northwestern next week and then enjoy a bye week after that before hosting Michigan for the annual White Out game, Senior Day and home finale.

ILLINOIS’ CUBIT HAS 34 YEARS OF COACHING UNDER HIS BELT

Bill Cubit was named interim head coach at Illinois on Aug. 28. Cubit also serves as offensive coordinator, his third season in that role for the Fighting Illini. He spent his first two seasons in Champaign-Urbana working with the quarterbacks, in addition to handling offensive coordinator duties. He was previously the head coach at Western Michigan from 2005 to 2012. Cubit has 34 years of coaching experience, including 17 years as a head coach on the collegiate and high school level. He also spent eight years as an offensive coordinator at five NCAA Division I schools, working the sidelines in five of the nation’s premier conferences (Big East, Big 12, Mid-American, PAC-10 and Southeastern). Cubit’s head coaching experience includes his time at Western Michigan and five seasons (1992-96) at Division III Widener University in Philadelphia. As a high school head coach in Pennsylvania, Cubit coached at Academy Park and his alma mater, Sharon Hill. A Sharon Hill native, Cubit played quarterback and wide receiver at Delaware (1971-74), earning AP All-America honorable mention in 1974.

FIGHTIN ILLINI FACE PSU AFTER TWO LOSSES

Illinois started the season 4-1, with its lone loss com-

ing at North Carolina, but enters the Penn State game on a two-game skid after falling at nationally ranked and unbeaten Iowa (20-29) and most recently to Wisconsin (13-24) at home. Illinois is 1-2 in Big Ten play, winning its first league game against Nebraska, 14-13, on a touchdown with 10 seconds left. The Fighting Illini are tied with Ohio State and Iowa for the Big Ten lead with nine interceptions. Defensive backs Taylor Barton and Eaton Spence are tied for second in the conference with three interceptions each. Quarterback Wes Lunt is averaging 243.1 yards per game yards to rank fourth in the Big Ten. Lunt also ranks 18th nationally and tops in the conference with 22.57 completions per game. He is one of the most difficult quarterbacks to bring down, as Illinois leads the Big Ten and ranks 15th nationally with just 1.14 sacks allowed per game. Lunt’s top target is Geronimo Allison, who leads the conference and ranks 16th in FBS with 6.9 receptions per game. He also ranks second in conference and 14th nationally with 100 receiving yards per game. Safety Clayton Fejedelem ranks 11th in FBS and second in the Big Ten with 10.6 tackles per game. He also has a punt return for a touchdown. In the Big Ten, Illinois is second to Penn State in tackles for loss per game, averaging eight.

ENJOYING HOME-SWEET-HOME ADVANTAGE

With a 270-71 all-time record in Beaver Stadium, PSU boasts the eighth-best winning percentage (.792) in its current home venue among current FBS schools, and leads the Big Ten. Ohio State ranks ninth overall with a 422-11020 (.783) mark in Ohio Stadium, which was built in 1922. Only Alabama (.818) and Auburn (.795) boast higher winning percentages than Penn State in facilities older than

MEASURING PENN STATE UP TO REST OF BIG TEN

Penn State owns a 190-95-3 mark against Big Ten Conference teams since the Nittany Lions first opposed Ohio State in 1912. The Nittany Lions began play as a member of the Big Ten Conference in 1993 and have a 112-68 mark. Prior to joining the conference, Penn State played 107 games vs. the current Big Ten alignment and was 79-25-3 in those games. Maryland and Rutgers joined the Big Ten on July 1, 2014.

TAKING TO BRAND NEW TURF

The Nittany Lions will take the field against Illinois on a new playing surface inside Beaver Stadium. Crews began working on Oct. 13 to remove the old sod, which had been in the stadium since October 2005. A new Kentucky bluegrass surface was installed on Oct. 15. Originally planted on a sod farm in 2004, the previous surface was installed during the days leading up to the epic primetime clash between Penn State and Ohio State on Oct. 8, 2005.

PASCP plans monthly ‘guest artist’ experience By ANNE WALKER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — In any given discipline, a professional in the field can provide invaluable wisdom and guidance to those learning about the activity. The Performing Arts School of Central Pennsylvania has always offered its ballet students the opportunity to take classes with professional dancers. Now, according to artistic director Rebecca Maciejczyk, the school hopes to offer the guest artist experience on a monthly basis. “It’s incredibly valuable,” Maciejczyk said, “and some of the teachers learned original choreography and feel very connected to the very beginnings of ballet.” Through the summer and fall, the school hosted Rafael Grigorian, Erin Mima StiefelInch and Arron Scott. Each has trained at the top levels of the art of ballet. Grigorian hails from Russia, where he studied under the legendary ballet master Alexander Pushkin. He performed and toured with the Kirov Ballet and Baku Theater of Opera and Ballet, both prestigious companies.

“He goes back to classical roots and focuses on music and feelings,” said student Isabella Anderson about Grigorian. “He really makes you think of ballet as much more of an art.” Scott trained here in State College as Ballet Theatre of Central Pennsylvania transitioned into a division of PASCP. He recently received a promotion to soloist with American Ballet Theatre, a huge accomplishment in the compeitive world of professional ballet. “It’s wonderful to see him pass along what he’s learned over the years to dancers in his original studio,” said Maciejczyk. “It’s very exciting for an ABT soloist to walk into your studio and teach a class.” Stiefel-Inch also received training in Pennsylvania, at the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet in Carlisle, the same school where Maciejczyk herself studied. She then received a scholarship to the School of American Ballet, where she studied with luminaries such as Suzanne Farrell and Alexandra Danilova. Stiefel-Inch, like Grigorian, has toured thoughout Europe performing in traditional ballets such

Penn State faculty member co-authors theater book UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State School of Theatre faculty member and Broadway veteran J. Austin Eyer and fellow Broadway veteran Lyndy Franklin Smith have written “Broadway Swings: Covering the Ensemble in Musical Theatre,” released Oct. 22 by Bloomsbury Publishing. “Broadway Swings” is a comprehensive guide on how to be a swing, or understudy of the ensemble, in musical theater. This position is examined from every angle, showing just how vital swings are to the success of any musical theater production. The authors draw on their own experiences as performers, and gather firsthand stories from other swings about the glories and hardships of their industry. The book features interviews with more than 100 Broadway pros — swing veterans, stage managers, casting directors, choreographers and directors — including Rob Ashford, Susan Stroman, Jerry Mitchell, Larry Fuller, Tony Stevens, Beverley Randolph and Frank DiLella. “Many times I have received panicked phone calls or emails from former students, saying, ‘Help! I start rehearsals as a swing on Monday, and I have no idea what to do!’ I am so proud that there is now a resource for young theater artists pursuing a career in musical theater,” said Eyer, who has been seen on Broadway in “Evita,” “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,” “Billy Elliot,” “The Little Mermaid,” “Curtains” and “The Secret Garden.” “I am excited to continue training Penn State students for a career in the perform-

ing arts with lessons I learned during my years working on Broadway. This book is the first of many projects I hope to bring to the Penn State arts community over the next few years,” Eyer said. Eyer choreographed the longJ. AUSTIN EYER running Off-Broadway productions of “My Big Gay Italian Wedding” and “Boys Just Wanna Have Fun.” He has also choreographed for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Disney World and Universal Studios. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in theatre from New York University. A “How to Be a Swing” workshop will be held 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, at CAP21 Studios in New York City. To attend, participants must make a reservation by emailing the title of the workshop (“How to Be a Swing”) and their name to broadwaydonation@gmail.com. There is a suggested donation of $20 to attend the event, sponsored by Broadway Donation. The book can be purchased at www. bloomsbury.com/us/broadway-swings9781472590015.
