Help create a “Stomper,” a testament to survival The Jana Marie Foundation helps those affected by suicide

By HARRY ZIMBLER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — The statistics are staggering. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 41,149 suicides were reported during 2013, the last year for which full data are available. In that year, someone died by suicide every 12.8 minutes. After cancer and heart disease, suicide accounts for more years of life lost than any other cause of death. The Jana Marie Foundation was founded to honor the life of Jana Marie Vicere, whose life ended when she was 30 years old, following years of suffering with depression. The foundation seeks to help individuals whose lives have been affected by suicide and who are coping with the loss of a loved one. On Tuesday, Oct. 13, the Jana Marie Foundation will hold “An Invitation to Come Together” from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at

the State College YMCA. During the event, which is free and open to the public, participants will have the opportunity to contribute toward creating a “Stomper,” a sculpture that serves as a remembrance of loved ones. The “Stomper” is a piece of art that captures thoughts and symbols that provide real hope for the families and friends who have felt the pain of losing a loved one to suicide.

“It’s an open meeting for anyone across the community who has been touched or impacted in any way by suicide,” said Al Vicere, vice president of the Jana Marie Foundation. “The purpose of the meeting, and several others that will take place throughout the community this fall, is to bring people together to create a special ‘Suicide Survivor Stomper.’” Participants will paint pieces of recycled sneakers with messages, drawings,

thoughts or symbols to remember loved ones, offer hope and provide support to those experiencing difficult times. The decorated pieces will be laced together at a later time to create a “community Stomper.” “Our hope is that the event will reinforce the idea that those struggling with the after effects of suicide are not alone and will provide people with opportunities to share personal stories in an environment of support and understanding,” said Vicere. “It will be moving and important to those who attend.” The Jana Marie Foundation will offer a series of programs throughout the year dealing with the effects of suicide and its prevention. Many of these initiatives are focused on young people as the organization seeks to raise awareness of society’s mental health issues. These programs will include “Candid Conversations,” short videos that are the result of a partnership between the foundation and Penn State Public Media. The videos are discussions on topics related to mental, emotional and physical well being of children and teens. There also is a monthly series of presentations, “Straight Talk for People Who Care About Kids,” designed to encourage positive youth development across the region’s communities.

UNIVERSITY PARK — THON canning, which was scheduled for Friday, Oct. 23, through Sunday, Oct. 25, has been suspended, the student organization announced on Oct. 5. During that time, THON evaluate canning and consider additional safety precautions for student volunteers. The suspension of canning weekend comes on the heels of the death of Penn State student Vitalya “Tally” Sepot. The 19-year-old sophomore from Branford, Conn., was killed on Sept. 27 when she and six other students were involved in a one-vehicle crash along the Pennsylvania Turnpike near the King of Prussia exit. Sepot’s group was returing from a canning trip. Canning raises funds for the Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon, an annual event that supports the Four Diamonds Fund at the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. In her “Letter to the THON Community,” THON executive director Katie Mailey said the organization will conduct a thorough review of policies, procedures and programs related to canning and THON’s fundraising model. “There is no doubt that this has been an extremely difficult week for many in our THON and Penn State communities after the loss of Tally Sepot. Our hearts continue to be with Tally’s family and friends during this heartbreaking time,” Mailey said. Fall Home Improvement ... 23 Sports ............................. 24-28

Police probe reported assault on gay man By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT

StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — State College police are making headway in an investigation into the alleged assault of a gay man that went viral Oct. 4 on social media. Police Lt. Keith Robb said everyone involved in the incident has been identified, including the suspect behind the alleged attack. Despite initial reports that a “frat guy” was behind the assault, Robb confirmed that the suspect is not a member of a fraternity. The victim took to Twitter after the alleged assault, posting photos of his injuries with the caption “Don’t let a frat guy know that you’re gay.” The victim later clarified that he was unsure whether or not the attacker was a member of a fraternity. The initial tweet was retweeted more than 12,000 times and was quickly brought to the attention of State College police, as well as multiple national media outlets. Robb said it is unusual for police to learn about a crime from a viral social media post, but said he suspects this “is the wave of the future.” He said the State College Police Department maintains a social media presence, in part, to connect with the community and help with investigations. “We’re proud of the fact that this wasn’t

directly called in and that we were able to do our due diligence, find the individual that was hurt, and identify everyone involved,” Robb said. “We ask for patience while we investigate this incident and interview everyone who was involved.” Robb said that attacks based on sexual orientation may be prosecuted as hate crimes, but that the first step is to conduct a thorough investigation, corroborate information and establish a “consistent, truthful account” of the alleged assault. State College police Lt. Chris Fishel said that whether or not a crime is tried as a hate crime depends on the outcome of a criminal investigations, and is largely an effort made by prosecutors in the district attorney’s office. Both officers stressed that the investigation is ongoing. According to a press release from Penn State, the Office of Student Affairs is working with the police department in its investigation. “Violence in any form is repulsive and hurtful, and those responsible should and will be held accountable for their actions,” the release said. “We thank the concerned individuals who made us aware of the incident on social media on Sunday; they are representative of the care and compassion we see at Penn State every day.”

STATE COLLEGE — Police are seeking information on three suspects involved in a reported Walmart theft. The three black males entered the Benner Pike superstore shortly after 4 a.m. on Sept. 30 and headed to the beauty and cosmetics section. They loaded a tote bin with “high end beauty products” including Rogaine, Prilosec and Crest Whitening Strips, according to a press release from State College police. They pushed their cart into the gardening area and exited through an alarmed door there, where a white SUV — which

police believe is a newer Chevy Equinox — was waiting. They loaded their bin into the trunk and fled the area. The first suspect was wearing a red Tshirt, red ball cap, jeans and black sneakers with orange laces. The second suspect was wearing an Oakland Athletics ball cap, green coat, camouflage pants and brown boots. The third suspect, who entered separately three minutes after the others and met them in the store, was wearing a green long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a black New York Yankees ball cap. Police are asking for any information on the theft and the suspects. Contact the department at (814) 234-7150, via email or by submitting an anonymous tip on their website.

County and Office of Open Records trade blows in Right-to-Know dispute By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

SHEETZ EMPLOYEES were joined by Sue Paterno as they presented THON a check for $10,000.

Downtown Sheetz donates $10,000 to THON By ALEXA LEWIS news@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Barely a week after it officially opened its doors, the Sheetz on Pugh Street donated $10,000 to Penn State’s Interfraternity Council/Panhellenic Dance Marathon, more commonly known as THON. “A big part of what we do is connecting with the community, so we try to find something that is special to each community,” said Tarah Arnold, a spokesperson for Sheetz, on the decision to work with the THON fundraiser. The new location publicized on social media and throughout the store that it would donate 15 percent of food and beverage sales made on its touch screens between Sept. 28 and Oct. 2 to THON. The THON fundraiser raised just under $5,000, with Sheetz matching the amount raised in the store.

BELLEFONTE — A tangled web of orders and appeals continues to be a source of contention in the slow-burning Rightto-Know disputes out of Centre County. The county has several pending court actions to try and address the mess of litigation sprawling across the local and statewide courts. In a new court filing in Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court, the county is trying to keep its case on track, attempting to make sure the Commonwealth Court does not press pause on an appeal involving the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records. The county wants the Commonwealth Court to determine whether the county should follow a judge’s order preventing it from releasing a judge’s phone records,

It’s no coincidence the nearly weeklong fundraiser coincided with the store’s grand opening on Sept. 28. Whenever a new Sheetz opens, Arnold said, the location hosts a special event. “Since it’s downtown right near campus, we thought it would be a great introduction to Sheetz to donate money to THON,” Arnold added. THOM hospitality director Sam Hunsicker, other students involved in THON and Sue Paterno were on hand to receive the donation check during an Oct. 5 ceremony at the Pugh Street store. “We are so thankful that donors like Sheetz choose to support THON and the fight against childhood cancer,” said Lily Beatty, THON’s 2016 public relations director, in an email. “We are excited that they are able to give back to the community in which they serve. Ultimately, we are so happy with their contribution and what it means for families impacted by cancer.”

or whether it should follow a conflicting determination from the OOR telling the county to release the records. The OOR, seemingly tired of getting dragged into the complicated dispute, wants the court to issue a stay and let a lower court handle the matter — but the county disagrees. The problem, the county writes, is that the case in the Centre County Court of Common Pleas case that the OOR wants to use has already been paused so that the Commonwealth Court can figure the issue out. If the appeal in the Commonwealth Court gets paused too, there will be no legal authority hearing the case. “It makes no sense to issue dueling stay orders that stay two proceedings upon the contingency of each proceeding,” the county’s attorneys argue.

Gov. Wolf unveils modified state spending plan By MARK SCOLFORO The Associated Press

HARRISBURG — Gov. Tom Wolf put a revamped tax plan before state lawmakers on Tuesday, lowering his proposed income tax increase to a half-point, cutting the size of the gas extraction tax he wants and eliminating a plan to raise the sales tax rate. State House members received details less than a day before they will have to cast votes on the freshman governor’s bid to end a state budget impasse that’s already dragged into a fourth month. Wolf’s proposal also includes cuts for seniors and disabled people in the property taxes that fund public schools. The administration said the new money will close the deficit, add about $400 million annually for basic education and boost spending for county human services programs. It remained to be seen if the administration can line up the 102 votes needed for House passage, which would require considerable Republican support in a chamber with just 84 Democrats. House Republican Leader Dave Reed, R-Indiana, said none of his members have told him they will vote yes. “I don’t believe they have 84 Democrats and I don’t believe there are a whole lot of Republicans lining up to vote for it, either,” Reed told reporters. Reed and Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman, R-Centre, offered to hold votes on Wolf’s proposal as a way to

demonstrate it lacks sufficient support in the Legislature so the focus can shift to some other approach that can pass. “At some point, we’ve got to vote somebody off the island, and if it’s going to be broad-based tax increases, so be it,” Reed said. Rep. Joe Markosek of Allegheny County, the ranking Democrat on the Appropriations Committee, said he expected his members to unanimously support the governor’s new approach. “I think most of our members understand that we have to do something,” Markosek said. “We’re facing horrendous cuts.” In the Capitol on Tuesday afternoon, Wolf declined to say how his hunt for GOP votes was going. Under Wolf’s plan, the state income tax rate would increase from 3.07 to 3.57 percent, while the natural gas drilling tax would be 3.5 percent, plus 4.7 cents per thousand cubic feet. The state’s existing impact fee on gas drilling, which is targeted to areas where the activity occurs, would be untouched. Wolf would cancel a provision in existing law that ends the impact fee if a severance tax is enacted. The administration said the tax package would raise more than $1.4 billion for the fiscal year that started July 1, and more than $2.4 billion next year, enough to balance the budget this year and next. Senate Republican spokeswoman Jennifer Kocher said the votes aren’t there in that chamber to pass what would

be a 16 percent increase in the income tax, but leaders remain committed to bring it up if it gets out of the House today. “It’s a mystery as to why (Wolf) is doubling down on the income tax when that is the portion that, we expressed to him since March, that we simply do not have the support” to raise, she said. An estimated 216,000 seniors and 31,000 households with disabled residents would see their property taxes eliminated, bringing the new statewide total to 331,000 households that would not have to pay the despised levies. Wolf dropped a proposal to increase the Pennsylvania sales tax rate, currently 6 percent in much of the state, to 6.6 percent. And he is no longer seeking an expansion of the list of items the sale tax covers that he had previously supported. He also did not include proposals he previously supported for new cigarette taxes and for higher taxes on banks that would have accompanied cuts to the corporate net income tax rate and a broadening of its reach. The governor told reporters Tuesday that a budget that passed the Legislature in late June without a single Democratic vote — a budget he vetoed — was not be balanced and would result in deep cuts to education spending along with higher borrowing costs. Pennsylvania and Illinois are the only states in the country without a budget in place.

Founder of cat-rescue organization to retire after 15 years By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — For years, Shirley Fonda has been waging a one-woman war on behalf of homeless cats. Her home-based rescue operation, Fonda’s Foundlings, has saved more than 1,600 cats, most of whom have gone on to secure and loving homes. Fonda has saved kittens’ lives, turned distrustful cats into loyal companions, and helped bring joy to cat lovers

all over the Centre Region. But now, after 15 years of fighting the good fight, Fonda is retiring. “It’s a lot of work, and frankly, I’m 80 years old,” Fonda said, noting that long hours and stress come with the rescue operation, and have affected she and her husband. “I need to be able to get our lives in order while we still have time together.” To illustrate her point, Fonda pointed out that the last time she took a vacation, it took 11 people to properly feed and care for her foundlings — a job she typically does almost single handedly with limited assistance from her part-time volunteers. But in order to retire, Fonda needs to find good homes for the roughly 50 cats that are still in need of forever families. And as much as it breaks her heart, she can no longer take in additional cats people may want to bring to her.

Fonda said she has been trying to retire for about four years, but has had difficulty finding homes for the cats still under her care. Although local media outlets have tried to publicize her attempts to get out of the rescue business in the past, Fonda said these stories backfired. Instead of being inspired to adopt cats, people brought her more — which is why she sadly said she simply cannot take any new animals. The former wildlife rehabilitator (who said she is historically more of a dog person, coincidentally) initially got into the cat rescue business because she saw a great need. All over the Centre Region, there were “colonies of cats” hidden under porches, in abandoned buildings, being fed antifreeze and other poisons — and no one was doing anything about it. Other animal rescue and adoption organization near State College include Happy Valley Animals in Need, Pets Come First, Mom’s Pets and Centre County PAWS. Fonda’s Foundling’s has everything from tiny kittens to full-grown fluffballs available for adoption. However, if you might be interested in adopting a rescue cat, Fonda cautioned that you should not expect a lap cat as soon as you bring your new pet home. It might take years of love and attention to build a relationship with a cat who has been abandoned or mistreated — but once trust is built, you will never find a more loyal companion. If you are interested in adopting a cat, or if you are interested in volunteering with Fonda’s Foundlings until her retirement, check out Fonda’s Facebook page or call (814) 238-4758.

Fraser Centre, Metropolitan construction continues By ALEXA LEWIS news@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — At this point, it’s hard to not notice the construction of the two mixed-use buildings that are underway in downtown State College. “Construction is proceeding,” said the Fraser Centre’s developer Gary Brandeis of Real Estate Capital Management. “If you walk by the site you can see it is proceeding quickly and efficiently.” Since above ground construction at the Fraser Centre began toward the end of spring at the corner of Beaver Avenue and Fraser Street, a spokesperson for the Borough of State College Courtney Hayden said the borough has not received any recent updates regarding any calendar changes. Construction is also sticking to the schedule so far, Hayden said. Contractors are currently putting up the steal core of the building and pouring concrete. The hope is to have the lower floors enclosed before the harsh winter weather, Brandeis said. When the Fraser Centre is complete, the building that will cover about 50,000 square feet will include retail space, a new Hyatt Place hotel with 165 rooms and 26 residential condominium units, according to the building’s website. The hotel will also offer a fitness center, business center and conference center. Brandeis said he and his team have not announced any of the retailers yet, but that

they anticipate doing so some time in November once they confirm more leases. He said that he expects most of the retails spaces to open in the fall of 2016, and the hotel and residential spaces to open closer to the end of 2016. While construction is still proceeding at The Metropolitan, which is located at the southwest corner of College Avenue and Atherton Street, the project’s timeline was pushed back a year due to delays experience over the winter. According to the building’s website, in late May it revised the completion date from July 2016 to July 2017 for reasons it attributed to the harsh winter. “The revised delivery date will allow for additional design changes and enhancements to the building to be accomplished,” according to the Metropolitan website. However, unlike the Fraser Centre, construction at The Metropolitan has not resulted in any significant lane closures or traffic disruptions, Hayden said. “The lane closure on Fraser Street has really added to the impact on the business owners,” Hayden said. While Fraser Street merchants are remaining open for business during the construction period, the street is operating as a one-way street traveling Northbound between Beaver Avenue and Calder Way. “The Downtown Improvement District and the developers are working with the Fraser Centre to make sure business owners are well aware of anything from street closures to putting in a new telephone

CONSTRUCTION CONTINUES at the Fraser Centre in downtown State College. According to developer Gary Brandeis, it is happening “quickly and efficiently.” wire,” Hayden said. The Downtown Improvement District is also sending out announcements of construction changes and closures to subscribers, which Hayden said has received positive feedback from the pubic. The completed construction of both buildings will help accomplish the goals of the borough’s Downtown Master Plan, which was designed and approved to bring

more people to State College and to create a most pedestrian friendly downtown. Hayden said, “The council adopted the Downtown Master Plan with the idea that it would encourage new development downtown that would have the potential to bring in income earners, businesses to help the property tax base and that it would make a more sustainable pedestrian downtown.”

PSU joint coalition to ease college admission process By JAIME ROSENBERG StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State has made it a mission to improve its college admission process. As a new member of the Coalition for Access, Affordability and Success, Penn State will join in the effort to enhance the college admission process and encourage a stronger college mindset among students of all backgrounds, especially those from low-income families and groups with a history of low access to college. “Penn State will start to engage earlier and more often with prospective applicants, informing them of important details along the way,” said Clark Brigger, executive director for undergraduate admissions. “The earlier we can communicate our principles of access, affordability, success and diversity, the better informed and prepared our applicant pool will become.” The coalition of 80 different colleges and universities is in the midst of developing a free platform of online tools that will ease the process of preparing for and applying to college for students. Using this platform, all high school students will be able to create online profiles to which they

The Comfort Sleeper™

submit their best works and their extracurricular activities. College admission leaders will be able to interact with the students and provide feedback and advice throughout all four years of high school. A new application system will also be put into place. The coalition will produce its own online application that will include basic factual information about the students, standardized test grades and high school transcripts. Each college would provide their own questions based on the material the students have in their online portfolio. The goal for this is for students to be able to use the work they already have instead of worrying about ideas for essays. The goal of the new platform is to break the barriers that prevent students from attending college or successfully earning a degree. Penn State will be working with the coalition to ensure that the new application will provide the same data that the school’s current application does. They plan on going live with the new application next summer for the following semesters, Briggers said. They will also update their existing application in order to provide a dual pathway for students to apply so they can choose which method is better suited

for them. “We are excited to be involved in this transformative group of institutions in the coalition, which is collectively attempting to improve the process and experience for students,” Brigger said. This announcement comes on the heels of Penn State President Eric Barron’s announcement earlier this year that access

and affordability for Penn State students was a main priority for the university. A main goal is to ensure the highestquality education at an affordable cost. The university can achieve this goal several ways, including helping students to graduate with a degree within four years. Admission, Page 6

Freeh fires back at Spanier for complicating lawsuit By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT

tain statements from the board of trustees — violated a non-disparagement contract between he and the university. The problem, Freeh’s attorneys argued in the latest court filing, is that the claims Spanier is making against Freeh LOUIS FREEH and Penn State are based on different legal principles and are not as intertwined as Spanier has tried to argue. “Plaintiff’s defamation claims (against Freeh) will involve questions of motive and whether the Freeh Report is false or was issued recklessly, while Plaintiff’s breach of contract claims (against Penn State) will turn on the language of the contract,

STATE COLLEGE — Graham Spanier and Louis Freeh continue to trade blows over who should be a part of their lawsuit in Centre County court and what they should be fighting about. In new court documents filed Oct. 5, former FBI director Freeh accused former Penn State president Spanier of trying to “unnecessarily complicate” the defamation suit Spanier first initiated back in 2013. Spanier is suing Freeh for defamation, but he also wants Penn State added to the lawsuit. Spanier said that Freeh defamed him in the Freeh Report, which was commissioned by Penn State in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal, and that Penn State’s hiring of Freeh and publicizing of the report — along with cer-

the legal effect of the words in the contract, and the interpretation of statements wholly unrelated to the Freeh Report,” the filing said. Because of these differences, Freeh argued that a jury would likely confuse the legal nuances GRAHAM SPANIER used to judge defamation and breach of contract. Freeh said because of the likelihood that a jury would “improperly conflate the two standards,” adding Penn State to the suit “would result … in prejudice to the defendants.” Spanier also wants to add Freeh Group International Solutions — a risk management firm separate from the law firm

of Freeh, Sporkin and Sullivan (which is already a defendant) — to the lawsuit. Spanier alleged that FGIS interfered in his attempts to land a job in the federal government, which Freeh’s attorneys denied. Freeh also claimed that the statute of limitations on this claim has expired, preventing him from further expanding his defamation suit. Spanier is suing Freeh because the Freeh Report alleges he and other Penn State administrators covered up knowledge of Sandusky’s crimes from the university community and general public. Spanier, alongside two other former Penn State leaders, faces charges of perjury and conspiracy in Dauphin County court for his role in this alleged coverup, but no trial date has been set. A Wednesday, Oct. 28, hearing date has been set in the contentious defamation suit.

Annual Day of Caring brings community together By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — State College, time and time again, has proven itself a place where people care deeply about their neighbors and their community. Perhaps this is best demonstrated during the Col. Gerald Russell Day of Caring, the Centre County United Way’s annual event during which nearly 2,000 people volunteer to help the county’s nonprofits, historical sites and parks maintain their facilities. The Day of Caring — now named after its founder, a World War II veteran who passed away in 2014 — has been a staple Admission, from page 5 Another solution outlined by Barron was to help students locate where financial support is available and increase that

in the area for 22 years, benefiting numerous organizations. This year, the event was held on Oct. 1. Area resident Roxanne Hockenberry spent her morning tending flower beds outside the Centre County Women’s Resource Center, pulling weeds and laying down fresh soil. “They’ve helped me out at one point in my life, so it’s very fulfilling to be able to help them,” she said. “It’s all about giving back. That’s what you’re supposed to do when you care about you community: Give back.” Dee Hall, director of volunteer programming for the Women’s Resource Center, said the United Way’s Day of Caring is

an invaluable resource for the organization. Even something as simple as tending flower beds makes a world of difference to the clients who stay at the center for extended periods of time by giving them a secure, beautiful place to reflect and spend time. “A lot of our funding pool is directed for specific programs, so we don’t really have the money for this kind of work,” Hall said. “Volunteers have repaired our fence, done work inside, painted rooms, all sorts of things. It’s been really great for us.” Over at the State College YMCA, a team of volunteers from Keller Williams Real Estate (one of the many area businesses taking part in the Day of Caring) were hard

at work doing some landscaping around the grounds. Their team leader, Lorraine Spock, said more than 70 members of the business descend on the Centre Region for the Day of Caring, doing everything from painting to planting to building and more. For Spock, the reason behind her involvement is simple: She lives here, she loves the area and she wants to help make it a better place. Her co-worker Carol Packard, who has friends at many nonprofits and whose daughter works at the Youth Service Bureau, knows how valuable these agencies are. She is glad to have the chance to help them out. “We’re here because we care,” Spock said.

support. “I propose that we seek resources and focus on several possible solutions to help Penn State students address financial barriers to college completion,” Barron said in

a press release. “We must think differently about our processes. “By helping students face the burden of unmet financial need, offering greater guidance on the path to degree comple-

tion and pursuing cost-effective support mechanisms that aid all students, we can help our students identify and avoid unnecessary economic burdens as they achieve their goal of a Penn State degree.”

Montessori approach proves attractive in State College By ALEXA LEWIS news@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Carla Glisan, the director of Our Children’s Center Montessori School, didn’t set out to work with children when she was an electrical engineering student at Penn State, but when she picked up a part-time job at a Montessori school, she was hooked. At first Glisan was lost in the pile of unusual materials when she walked into a Montessori classroom, so she picked up a book that would better inform her of the education philosophy that Italian educator and physician Maria Montessori conceived more than a century ago. “I realized that Montessori is really child development,” Glisan said. “Montessori is individualized, whole-child training. You are looking at emotional growth, physical growth — the whole realm of the child.” The basic tenet of Montessori education is that children selfdirect their own learning using materials and activities that teachers, who act more as guides, customize to each student’s stage and style of learning. Multiage classrooms and teachers that neither grade nor test students are also hallmarks of the curriculum. “The classrooms aren’t defined by age,” Glisan said. “There could be 5-year-olds who are doing multiplication and 5-yearolds who are still learning to write their names. It’s about the child. We all want to get to the same place, but we may take different paths to get there.” At Our Children’s Center, located at 411 S. Burrowes St. in State College, 92 children are di-

vided into four preschool classrooms and two toddler classrooms. The preschool classrooms include children between the ages of 2 years and 7 months to 6 years. The toddler classrooms are mixed between 13 and 18 months and 18 to 36 months. The school also offers before- and after-school care. Nancy Wok Baker and Martha Torrence established the school in 1975 with six students. Step into a classroom at Our Children’s Center in State College, and Glisan said you’d find children “moving about, making their own choices.” While some children may be working on activities at the classroom’s tables or rugs, others may be serving themselves their own snack should they feel hungry. “You will find 18 children making 18 different choices. It’s individual choice of activities through the day,” she said. “Children can choose from activities in their classroom, based on what they feel they are ready to do.” The school is one of three other Montessori schools in the State College area; none of the schools go past kindergarten. “Any Montessori education that a child can get is time well spent and not everyone has the means to transition their kid to Montessori school after preschool or there may not be one in the area,” said Marcy Krever, a spokesperson at the American Montessori Society. “Montessori forms a very strong foundation that the child will take with him wherever he goes next.” In an interview, Krever mentioned that Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin both

In the last 15 or so years, the philosophy’s success has brought it back into the spotlight of the growing field of early childhood education, with more public and private schools adapting elements of the curriculum. “We have enjoyed watching childhood education change over the years to where now edu-

cating the whole child is a very popular opinion but it has been the Montessori way for years,” Glisan said. “We just smile because this is what we have been doing for years.” Membership of the American Montessori Society is also growing as well as the number of Montessori public schools, said Marcy Krever, a spokesperson for the society. “Montessori is a very good program with a long history,” said Karen Johnson, assistant professor of early childhood education at Penn State. “The thing that makes it still relevant today is the fact that it’s a program that

looks at the individual child.” According to the American Montessori Society, research suggests that Montessori students perform as well as or better than their non-Montessori peers. One such study revealed that children who attended Montessori who had attended Montessori schools at the preschool and elementary levels earned higher scores in high school on standardized math and science tests. “The future has a lot of opportunity for Montessori in State College,” Glisan said. “I would love to see every child have the opportunity in Montessori.”

Canning, from page 1 The decision to suspend the canning weekend is effective for all campuses, whether or not students require travel for canister solicitation. “THON’s leadership has openly shared its thinking with us in response to Tally’s tragic loss,” said Damon Sims, vice president for student affairs, who, along with senior vice president for development and alumni relations Rod Kirsch, is the primary liaison to THON. “We are fully apprised of the group’s rationale for this action, as well as its intention to consider additional safety questions more deeply through the coming weeks. We could not be more supportive of the careful deliberation in which the group is engaged, and we will continue to do all we reasonably can

to encourage the best possible outcome as these discussions proceed.” Over the past few years, THON has implemented a number of policies and practices aimed at improving the safety for volunteers while fundraising. Students are trained via a mandatory course on the THON e-Learning Management System, an online module-based education tool, in areas such as safe fundraising practices, donor interaction and travel safety. Sepot was the second student volunteer to die in a car crash in four years. In December 2011, Courtney O’Bryan, of Huntington, N.Y., was killed when the vehicle she was riding in left the roadway when it hit a patch of black ice. She and five other students were going to Buffalo for a canning weekend. ALEXA LEWIS/For the Gazette

Records, from page 1 The issue at hand stems from two things: a lawsuit filed against Centre County by District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller back in March, and a Right-to-Know request submitted to the county for a judge’s phone records back in May. Parks Miller’s lawsuit led to a court order that prevents the county from releasing phone records for judges and prosecutors until the matter is resolved. Because of that

court order, the county denied the May Right-to-Know request, leading to an appeal to the OOR, which determined that the county should release the very records the court order prevents it from releasing. Centre County is also facing contempt of court allegations from Parks Miller for denying the Right-to- Know request in the first place, claiming the county purposefully set up a “dual track appeal” to create the complicated situation the county and Parks Miller now find themselves in.

CONSTRUCTION IS on track at the State College Area High School. The next phase of the project is set to begin. State High, from page 1

project calendar was revised to accommodate the summer site work that lingered into the first few weeks of the school year due to poor weather. The unanimous decision to approve accepting bids also comes after a Sept. 28 meeting where the board of directors reviewed the State High Project 90 percent cost estimate that Massaro Construction Management Services prepared separately from the Aug. 28 estimate of Crabtree Rohrbaugh and Associates, the project’s architect. The project team continued to review the bid documents in the week following the Sept. 28 meeting, and on Oct. 1 the project team met to address remaining concerns. With the team resolving the issues during the meeting, Massaro and the district agreed to recommend to board members to release the State High Project bid documents. “We are confident that the documents are ready and we’re anxious to start the bidding calendar and move on to the next phase of the project,” said Ed Poprik, State College Area School District’s director of physical plant, during the Oct. 5 meeting. The project team will hold a pre-bid meeting on Thursday, Oct. 8, to review the project and answer the questions of prospective bidders. The district will publicly advertise Thursday, Nov. 5, as the bid opening date. The administration and board will then review bids on Monday, Nov. 9, and they are expected to approve bids at a meeting on Monday, Nov. 16. Poprik also told the board of directors that the bids are broken up into seven packages: site, general, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire detection and food services. “For the last six to eight months, we’ve been monitoring the construction market,” Poprik said. “We believe that this combination of packages will be Bellefonte’s the right.” Introducing

Antibiotics use must be curbed By Newsday

The development of antibiotics was one of the great medical advancements of the 20th century. But now we’re paying the price for that success. Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is rising worldwide, and the number of socalled superbugs that cannot be killed even by drugs of last resort is growing. At a time of great and rapid technological development, it’s hard to believe. But, for the most part, we have only ourselves to blame. To pacify demanding patients, doctors prescribe antibiotics when they’re not needed and won’t work. Patients take incorrect dosages for the wrong amount of time. Cattle and chicken on factory farms are given antibiotics to make them fatter. All of this prompts bacteria to find ways to repel everstronger antibiotics. Compounding the problem, it’s become increasingly difficult to discover and produce new antibiotics. Among the highly resistant bacteria are E. coli, salmonella, MRSA, super-gonorrhea and a nasty bug called CRE. In India, tens of thousands of babies die each year of bacterial infections that no longer can be killed by most antibiotics. New York Giants football player Daniel Fells’ season recently ended because of antibiotic-resistant MRSA. A new study finds babies who get antibiotics in their first year are more likely to be diagnosed later with asthma — because, researchers theorize, antibiotics also kill good bacteria that minimize the risk of getting the disease. The trend is not easy to reverse, but we must try. Doctors need to cut back on prescriptions. Farmers must use fewer antibiotics in livestock. A glimmer of hope comes from Massachusetts, where scientists came up with a new way to analyze bacteria in soil and discovered an antibiotic in dirt from Maine that killed MRSA and drug-resistant tuberculosis in mice. Whatever it takes. This is not a fight we can lose.

While acknowledging the relatively short history of email technology, “I’ve gone longer and farther to try to be as transparent as possible,” she asserted. “Nobody else has done that.” Her statement recalls President Obama’s dubious claim, apparently made with a straight face, in February 2013 that his administration is “the most transparent administra-

in its ranking in recent years, from tied for 16th in 2007. This is due to the Obama administration’s unprecedented prosecution of whistleblowers, the Edward Snowden revelations about wiretapping and other government spying on journalists (not to mention the general public), “relatively rigid controls on the information coming out of the White House and government agencies” and “detentions, harassment and rough treatment of journalists by police during protests in Ferguson, Missouri,” Freedom House notes. The Emailgate scandal is emblematic of the government’s hypocrisy in proclaiming privacy for itself, but not for its wee subjects. Given her behavior and erroneous statements over her emails, we should expect more of the same if Clinton takes over the White House.

tion in history.” Never mind that it has broken its own record this year for censoring or denying access to information made through Freedom of Information Act requests, including those concerning Clinton’s emails. Recall that it took a lawsuit by the Associated Press to gain access to such information, and subsequent judicial rulings to address the State Department’s foot-dragging on their release. The administration’s lack of transparency and disdain for the freedom of the press and (other people’s) privacy is reflected in Freedom House’s annual Freedom of the Press indexes. While the United States is still among the “Free” nations in the index, it is no longer the paragon of First Amendment rights that it once was, and now ranks tied for just 31st out of the 63 “Free” nations.

What we are left with is clearly the expectation that somewhere in our midst another person with a grudge against humanity, or a terrorist or a paranoid psychopath is waiting, using the Internet to wet his appetite for destruction, just as the latest shooter did, and ready to satisfy his diseased mind or twisted motives by feeding on the literature of hate and despair ubiquitous on the electronic textbook of the 21st century. It is so enormously depressing to consider the outcome of all this irresponsibility, to know with near certainty that with 350 million firearms in circulation and unrestricted access to them even by the most unbalanced around us, it is inevitable that what happened at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Ore., is bound to be repeated. Perhaps after every episode our reaction should be that of Republican Presidential nominee Jeb Bush. “Stuff happens,” he said. That of course has been the attitude of most of this nation’s politicians whose cringing fear of the gun lobby has left us bereft over the death of young and not so young innocents once again. Indeed stuff happens. But it happens here too often.

Duodenal switch procedure can aid heaviest patients HERSHEY — A less-common form of bariatric surgery can help the heaviest patients reach an ideal weight, but it’s not for everyone. Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch — or “duodenal switch” for short — isn’t a new procedure. A fatherson team came up with it in 1984. But only a few surgeons in each state are performing the technically difficult operation laparoscopically. Dr. Ann Rogers, director of Penn State Hershey Surgical Weight Loss, performs the procedure. The two most common forms of bariatric surgery in use at Penn State Hershey are gastric bypass and vertical sleeve gastrectomy. In the bypass, surgeons divide and reconnect portions of the stomach and small intestines to make a smaller stomach pouch and shorter path for absorbing food. The sleeve removes much of the stomach, leaving only a vertical, sleeveshaped portion. Both procedures typically result in patients losing a third of their starting body weight. The duodenal switch combines a bit of both procedures to seriously limit the

body’s ability to absorb calories, but also vitamins and minerals in food. Patients typically lose more weight with the procedure, and faster. Most of the weight loss occurs within the first year or 18 months after surgery, and almost all patients can expect to get to an ideal body weight. “If someone comes in weighing 300 pounds and we can get them down to 200 with one of our more common operations, that is often good enough,” Rogers said. “But if someone comes in weighing 600 pounds and they get down to 400, they are still morbidly obese. The duodenal switch is the only operation we have where we are likely to help them get to an ideal body weight.” That’s why the duodenal switch can be a better option for the heaviest patients — or those who have had a sleeve gastrectomy and need to lose additional weight. Along with the potential for more benefits comes the potential for more complications, though, unless patients follow a strict post-operative regimen. After undergoing the duodenal switch, patients must be willing to follow a much Duodenal, Page 11

Dealing with separation anxiety Separation anxiety is evident when a child becomes emotionally upset when a parent or caregiver leaves for a period of time. The child may cry, cling to the parent or throw a tantrum. Severe anxiety can even evoke physical responses such as nausea or stomachaches. Separation anxiety can affect children at several different stages in life. At 4 months to 9 months old, babies begin to understand object permanence, and may become upset when a parent leaves the room. Toddlers ages 15 to 18 months may also display signs of separation anxiety. In older children, triggers such as starting a new school, moving or gaining a new sibling may cause separation anxieties to occur. It can be hard to leave your child, especially when he is upset. As a parent, your first instinct is to return and calm him down. If your child realizes that you will keep coming back when he throws a tantrum, he will con-

tinue to display this type of behavior. The key to overcoming separation anxiety is consistency. To help alleviate anxiety, you can develop a goodbye ritual with your child. For instance, you may say “See you later alligator,” and your child can respond with “In awhile crocodile.” Or, give your child three big hugs before you leave. These types of rituals will be his or her cue that it is time to separate. Be careful to keep your rituals quick to keep from drawing out the process. It is also important to be honest with your child. If you know you cannot pick him up until 3 p.m., do not tell him you’ll try to pick him up at lunchtime. And, if you tell him you are going to pick him up at 3 p.m., stick to your word and pick him up on time. If your child continues to experience severe anxiety symptoms, talk with his pediatrician.

Rogers said she doesn’t recommend the operation for patients who have gluten intolerance, Crohn’s disease or advanced liver disease. “This is something we have in our toolbox for patients in special cases,” she said. “But I don’t put it out there for everyone. The patient has to ask me for this and convince me it is going to be a good choice for them.”

Positive approach key to child behavior JESSICA DIRSMITH

As a parent, there are times I ask myself, “What am I doing wrong that is maintaining this socially undesirable behavior in my child?” The answer may be nothing, or it may, in fact, be something, but the overarching idea is that I believe I can change my child’s environment to produce a desired outcome. Our brains — and our children’s — are Jessica Dirsmith is wired to process and a certified school retain bad memories psychologist. She more readily than practices in the good ones. As a result, State College Area it is imperative that we School District and also teaches at Penn create more positive experiences, in the State. form of positive, clear expectations, and positive reinforcement, than we do negative experiences and reinforcement. This can be tricky at times, though, as many of us lead very busy lives and are more prone to react to and acknowledge undesirable behaviors rather than desired ones. The key to making positive experiences is to create a structured environment in which your child knows what behaviors

are expected of them at all times. In order to do this, behavioral expectations need to be concise and explicit. Children need to be taught, and retaught, the behavioral expectations. Children also need to receive positive reinforcement for engaging in expected behaviors. This can be in the form of an “I noticed you” statement, a high five or a sticker on a chart. By creating positive reinforcement, parents are setting children up for success, rather than failure. However, not all children will respond at these levels of support and may be in need of more intensive interventions to meet their behavioral or learning needs. When this is the case, the first step in the process is to look at the child’s environment. Is the child being provided with the necessary amount of support needed to meet his or her needs? Does the child know his or her behavioral and academic expectations? How is the child responding to the current level of support? We need to look at what we can do differently to facilitate our children’s academic and behavioral development if we are noticing that they are not meeting with success, despite structured environments. Next, you may wish to talk with your child’s teacher. What is working well for your child in the educational setting? How might you translate what works at school into the home environment?

You may also wish to discuss your concerns with your child’s pediatrician, in case there is a medical reason for the difficulties he or she is experiencing. Additionally, there are many resources within the community to facilitate children’s learning and development. Unfortunately, children do not come with instruction books on how to parent them. Many of our successes as parents are guided through trial and error. However, it is important to know there are resources in the schools, in the health care arena and within the community, and these entities want to work with you in order to support your child. Another option for many parents is to

seek answers and support online. There are many excellent websites that provide parents with free resources and tips and techniques. One of my personal favorites that I often share with the parents in my practice as a school psychologist was created by Dr. Laura Riffel, a former special educator, psychologist and behavior specialist, and can be found at www.behaviordoctor.org. As Benjamin Franklin once stated, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If you are noticing that you are not meeting with the level of desired behavioral or academic success with your child, talk to your school, doctor or community resources about your concerns.

Design play spaces to promote childhood development From the nursery to the playroom, playtime should be safe and fun. But experts say that beyond these considerations, these spaces should incorporate elements that promote early childhood development. “Infancy and preschool years are a crucial time of children’s lives, when they are developing new motor, cognitive, language and social skills,” said Dr. Lise Eliot, early brain development expert at electronic learning products company VTech. “Toys should provide multi-sensory experiences that engage and cultivate a love of learning from a very young age, while delivering the developmental benefits appropriate for each child’s age and stage.” To encourage growth and enrich children’s play experiences, Eliot offered these tips: ■ Include books in the playroom and read often to your child. Doing so will demonstrate well before the school years begin that reading is not just for classroom, but also a recreational activity that can and should be done for fun. Look ahead by adding books that will be ageappropriate in the future. ■ Development happens rapidly, so seek out learning toys that grow with children. ■ Kids are never too young to develop an appreciation for music. Babies can start by playing with tambourines,

maracas, toy keyboards and other fun musical toys. Child-sized instruments can improve hand-eye coordination and rhythm, and set kids up for lifelong musical inspiration. ■ Create safe zones in your house where kids can have free reign to play and explore. “The more opportunity children have for physical exertion and exploration, the better for the development of both their minds and bodies,” said Eliot. ■ Focus on giving preschool-age kids a head start on their education. Provide them with fun ways to get started, including items that help them develop writing skills, such as paper and crayons. These items also will inspire skills and creativity in young artists. ■ Foster language and social skills by spending time each day playing together. The interactions you share are key to cognitive and emotional development as well as social and emotional growth. Research has proven that early two-way conversations with babies and young children are critical to their own speech and reading development. To encourage social skills and prepare young children for preschool, set up play dates with friends. By incorporating elements that nurture a range of critical cognitive and physical skills, you can make playtime not only fun, but functional. — Content courtesy StatePoint.net

THERE ARE WAYS for babies and young children to both play and learn.

Easy ways for parents to add interactive play throughout the day A child’s development at an early age sets the stage for future success, and interactive play can have a big impact. Not only does it expand a child’s imagination and social skills, but it can also help develop gross and fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and hand and finger strength. With success at play, children not only build muscle skills, but also cognitive skills that lay the foundation for aptitude in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. And the best part? Parents can easily provide these benefits during daily routines. ■ Mealtime — Allowing your child to be a little helper in the kitchen not only teaches some meal preparation skills, but also helps develop motor skills. Good for hand and arm strengthening, your little chef can help smash potatoes, knead dough, stir foods and more. ■ Playtime — Playtime is as much of a daily activity as bedtime or mealtime, and it’s an important part of your child’s day. Look for toys that are fun and also help children develop the skills they need. ■ Bath time — If you’ve ever had to wrestle your child into the bathtub, you know bath time isn’t always enjoyable. There are all sorts of bath time toys available, but some of the best ones are items you already have in your home. To work on fine motor skills, try including household objects into your child’s bath routine: plastic cups for pouring water back and forth, strainers from your kitchen and any toys that promote a squeezing motion. Even the act of wringing out a wet washcloth can help develop a child’s hand muscles. When incorporated throughout the day, interactive play can be beneficial for both parent and child. Small but meaningful everyday tasks can help a child develop and grow. — Content courtesy StatePoint.net

Egg Hill Church holds annual homecoming service By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — In the woods of Potter Township, on a narrow dirt road between Sinking Creek and Georges Valley, stands the historic Egg Hill Church. A weathered, wooden, oneroom structure, it is a monument to the faith and tenacity of the early settlers of Penns Valley. The original church was built in 1838, and it was one of the first evangelical churches in Penns Valley. The church was named Egg Hill because it was located on the bluff of a hill which local citizens claimed to be egg-shaped. The present building was constructed by members in 1860 on the foundation of the earlier church building, which had been razed. The plain building reflects the simplicity and humility of its founders. The original steeple was removed around 1970 due to deterioration. Regular services at the church ended in 1927, but on Oct. 4, as it does for one Sunday afternoon every fall, the old church came

alive for its annual Homecoming Service. As one enters the building, the stark simplicity of its sanctuary is striking. The plain plaster walls, straight-backed wooden pews with no cushions, and a small, simple pulpit were typical of small rural churches of the 19th century. There is no stained glass in the windows; no ornate statues, pictures or crosses adorn the bare walls. Six kerosene lamps provide lighting, as there is no electricity in the building. There also is no heat, which had most congregation members at the service wearing sweaters or jackets. After the church bell had been rung, Pastor Gabriel Morley, from Millmont, who has presided over the homecoming services for many years, ascended the pulpit and opened the service for the congregation of about 40 people. Soon, the strains of “The Old Rugged Cross,” “In the Garden” and other traditional hymns, sung a capella by the congregation, echoed off the walls just as they did decades ago. Three of Morley’s daughters sang a song

with lyrics in English and Welsh, highlighting his family’s Welsh ancestry. Morley’s message likened the firm foundation which helped the old building stand so long to the foundation of faith needed to stand firm in today’s world. He urged the congregation to remember and appreciate the efforts and the faith of the settlers who founded the church. Katelyn Seprish, a member of the Egg Hill Conservancy, said that group maintains the property, which is owned by the Egg Hill Cemetery Association. A small cemetery is located beside the church and some congregation members are descendants of those buried there. Among the congregation members at the service were Tom and Jenny Kenly, who were married in the church in August 1990. Jenny Kenley is descended from the Hennigh family, whose members are buried in the adjacent cemetery. The couple, who all those years ago arrived at their church wedding in a horsedrawn buggy, attend the Egg Hill Homecoming Service every year.

Girl Scouts looking for more girls, volunteers STATE COLLEGE — Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania is inviting girls to join the fun by registering for Girl Scouts at two upcoming sign-up nights. On Monday, Oct. 12, girls can sign up from 5 to 7 p.m. at GSHPA’s office, 216 W. Hamilton Ave. in State College. On Wednesday, Oct. 14, sign-ups will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. at the State College YMCA’s Teen Center, 677 W. Whitehall Road in State College. As girls head back to the classroom for a new school year, they can also head into a Girl Scout troop to explore activities that cover a number of girls’ interests. Girls can discover the outdoors, grow financial literacy skills through GSHPA’s Change It Up! signature program, run a girl-led business with the Girl Scout cookie sales program and, of course, make a new friends. The Girl Scout Research Institute reports that at least 75 percent of girls who experience the fun of “learning by doing” and are part of a girl-led program become better at conflict resolution, problem solving, team building and cooperation, and developing self-confidence. Girl Scouts is open to all girls from kindergarten through grade 12 and anyone over the age of 18 can become a Girl Scout volunteer. Girls cannot experience the positive impact of Girl Scouts without adult volunteers, and each volunteer has the opportunity to make a real difference in the life of a girl. Girl Scout volunteers come from all walks of life and are women, men, young professionals, retirees, college students and more. Both girls and adult volunteers can join at any time of the year. For more information, call (800) 692-7816 or visit www. girlscouts.org/join.

Cecil Irvin Park honors former Ferguson Township supervisor STATE COLLEGE — The Westfield/Hillside Farm Estates Park has a new name — Cecil Irvin Park. Approved by the Ferguson Township board of supervisors at its regular meeting on Sept. 8, it honors Cecil Irvin for his 26 years of service to the township. Partly acquired and partly gifted to the township as part of the Westfield and Hillside Farm Estates subdivision, this parkland was the first candidate for park naming under the township’s park naming resolution, which was adopted in February. The township invited residents to submit suggestions adhering to the park-naming guidelines. The nine suggestions submitted included Cecil Irvin Park, which was endorsed by the Centre Region Parks and Recreation Authority, Hartswick Park (in honor of Sgt. Adam Hartswick), Madore Park (in memory of Dr. Rick Madore), Sunday Park, Mountain View Park, Green Ridge Park, Ferguson Park, Forest Peak Park and Ridge Top Park. The board of supervisors voted unanimously to name it Cecil Irvin Park in honor of Irvin’s “service, devotion and commitment to the township.” Irvin served on the Ferguson Township Planning Commission from 1976 to 1986 and on the board of supervisors from 1990 to 1997 and from 2002 to 2009. Traditionally, the township has named public parks and open space based on the name of the subdivision from where the land was dedicated. Approved names may also be derived from an outstanding feature of the facility; an adjoining subdivision, street, school or natural feature; a commonly recognized historical event, group, organization or individual (living or deceased); an individual or organization that has contributed significantly to the development of the facility; outstanding accomplishments by an individual for the good of the community; or any individual who provided an exceptional service in the interest of the park system.

Women’s lunch scheduled BOALSBURG — The Women’s Midday Connection lunch will be held at 11:45 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 13, at the Mountain View Country Club in Boalsburg.

Aaronsburg celebrates Dutch Fall Festival By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

AARONSBURG — The Village of Aaronsburg celebrated the annual Haines Township Dutch Fall Festival on Oct. 3 and 4, despite the cold rain on Saturday and only slightly better weather on Sunday. The event is a combination of craft fair, folk festival, and food and yard sales. Vendors lined the sidewalks along state Route 45, their booths filled with a wide variety of handcrafted items and food products. The festival grounds also featured food, including homemade bread and sticky buns fresh from the oven. Among the vendors on Saturday were sisters Krissy Norton, Karen Saylor and Kathy Holt. In their tent, Norton sold tote bags and other gift items from the brand Thirty-One, while Saylor’s wares included handmade dish cloths. Holt showed a line of handmade autumn and Halloweenthemed wreaths. Saylor and Holt, along with Norton’s daughter Anna, sat in their booth wrapped up in sleeping bags to ward off the cold dampness of the day. The sisters’ late mother, Grace Musser, had sold items at the festival since its beginning in 1976, and her daughters continue the tradition annually, rain or shine. Making their first appearance at the festival were Libby Beiler and Katherine Dashner, from Mad About Ewes farm in

Milton. Their specialty is hand-dyed knitting yarns. They use acid dyes to produce many colors of variegated yarns. “Sometimes it’s a tricky process,” said Beiler. “We’re never quite sure what will happen in the dye pot.” The pair also raise sheep and sells their raw wool to yarn spinners. In a garage on West Street, behind the Penns Valley Area Historical Museum, museum board members were selling their famous apple dumplings. Board members and volunteers gathered for weeks before the festival to make nearly 1,500 dumplings. The sweet treats were being snatched up by festival attendees, with the money raised helping to support the museum. Live music was featured throughout the festival. Jazz trombonist Jay Vonada played his interpretations on Saturday morning to a small but appreciative crowd. Vonada is a Penns Valley High School alumnus from Aaronsburg, and he enjoys playing for the home crowd at the festival. In a building on the festival grounds, Abby Minor and Kevin Sims were holding an art auction of paintings made by local children and teens during after-school art classes held in the Aaronsburg Community Building. Minor said the classes feature interdisciplinary art, which includes various media of visual art, music and creative writing. Funds raised by the auction will help to support the classes. A bake sale was held at St. Peter’s United Church of Christ on Aaron Square.

services continuously since that time. The church is active in many community outreach programs in the Penns Valley area.

Botanical art show opens at Millheim art gallery By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

MILLHEIM â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Green Drake Art Gallery in Millheim held a reception on Oct. 2 for the opening of its new exhibit, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Botanical Series,â&#x20AC;? featuring photographic art by Gerald Land and Jennifer Anne Tucker. The show runs through Sunday, Nov. 29. Lang, originally from Minnesota, is a professor emeritus of art and integrative arts at Penn State. He founded the digital photography studio in the College of Arts and Architecture in 1995. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That (digital photography) was absolutely new technology back then,â&#x20AC;? said Lang. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody knew what was going on, particularly in the art department, and they were scared to death.â&#x20AC;? Tucker, who hails from North Dakota, received her Master of Fine Arts degree in photography from Penn State. She also has been a practicing herbalist and flower essence practitioner for more than 25 years. The couple, who reside at Hill Crystal Farm near Spring Mills, produce their pieces by laying plant specimens on a large digital scanner, covering them with a black box-type lid, and creating a very high-resolution digital image. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only editing I do is to clean up the dust and pollen specks on the photo,â&#x20AC;? said Lang. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no real manipulation of the images.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really just want the presence and the idea of all the botanicals,â&#x20AC;? added Tucker. The images are printed with a large inkjet printer on thick poster board, and typically measure about 2-feet square. The results of this unique process are impressive to the viewer. The images are sharp and clear, and reveal very minute and intricate details, such as fibers on milkweed seed pods, and individual grains of pollen on flowers.

JENNIFER ANNE TUCKER and Gerald Lang are exhibiting their digital photographic art works at the Green Drake Gallery in Millheim. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t often take time to stop and look at things like that,â&#x20AC;? said Tucker. Colors on the images are bright and natural-looking, thanks to the bright light produced by the scanner. Tucker noted that the scanner, which has a depth of field of only about a half inch, was designed for scanning paintings, documents and other two-dimensional objects, but works

well for the three-dimensional plants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually a pleasant surprise when the image comes up,â&#x20AC;? said Lang. Lang and Tucker have been producing their digital botanical art for more than 15 years, and their work has been shown at the State College Framing Company art gallery, the Bellefonte Art Museum and the Yellowstone Museum in Billings, Mont.

INDIANA VS. PENN STATE ■ TIME: NOON

■

TV: ESPN2

Penn State faces plenty of challenges against upstart Indiana By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State did not show very much on offense in the Nittany Lions’ 20-14 victory over Army West Point on Oct. 3 at Beaver Stadium. Whether it was the terrible weather, Army’s early fumbles, the effects of a rash of injuries, or a combination of all those, Penn State played it unusually close to the vest. The Nittany Lions took a 10-point lead into halftime, and they did open it up once for a long three-play drive in the third quarter after Army pulled to within 13-7. But that was it, as they again relied on their defense to pull out the win against Army’s relentless triple option — which it did with a sack late in the fourth quarter on an Army fourth-and-5 play from the 50. “Not where we need to be” is the way Penn State coach James Franklin described the PSU offense. “There’s no doubt about it. Not where we need to be. We’re inconsistent. What’s killing us are penalties. We get ourselves in too many long yardage situation. I do think the weather has had a factor in some of that, but that’s not the reason. That’s been a factor, one of many factors. “The penalties, we’re not in a position to overcome those long yardage situations on third down and things like that. We picked one up tonight on a screen and we almost picked up another one, obviously handing the ball off on a run game. We have a lot of work to do in that area which is obvious to everybody.” Penn State has now won four games in a row with its defense, especially in the last two games, being asked to make up for a balky offense and some special-teams mistakes. With the meat of the Big Ten schedule at hand, the days of letting the defense go it alone may be over. On Saturday, Oct. 10, the 4-1 Indiana Hoosiers will visit Beaver Stadium in the last game of a five-game home

stand, and Indiana will bring with it a high-powered offense that is averaging 498 yards of offense per game and 36 points. After watching Indiana beat Southern Illinois, FIU, Western Kentucky and Wake Forest, all eyes were on the Ohio State game on Oct. 3 to see if the IU offense was for real. It was. In the end, No. 1 Ohio State prevailed, 34-27, on the legs of a monster day by running back Ezekiel Elliott and some defensive heroics. But Indiana was right there, with chances to tie late, even though starting quarterback Nate Sudfeld left the game and was replaced by sneaky-fast Zander Diamont. Diamont finished the game as Indiana’s leading rusher with 98 yards on seven carries and a touchdown. He also threw for 76 yards on six of 14 pass completions. In all, Indiana ran 91 plays, scored three rushing touchdowns and gained 402 yards against the Buckeye defense. For the season, Jordan Howard leads Indiana in rushing with 709 yards on 125 attempts for an average of 141 yards per game. Devine Redding is second with 56 per game, and the team is averaging 224. Sudfeld is 87 for 147 through the air for 1,277 yards and seven touchdowns. Three receivers have double-digit receptions, led by Ricky Jones with 21 for 446 yards and three touchdowns. When Indiana struggles, it is on defense. The Hoosiers give up an average of 32 points every game and a whopping 502 yards of total offense. That includes 337 yards per game passing and 12 touchdowns. In his weekly press conference on Oct. 5, Indiana head coach Kevin Wilson looked forward to the game with the Nittany Lions. “Penn State, very, very good on defense, very, very good,” he said. “Twenty-one sacks, first or second in the nation. Just a great run defense, don’t

give up points. Just awesome up front. Linebacker, structure, well coached, secondary knows what it’s doing, know where they’re going to get attacked and how to prevent stress. “Defense and playing at their place will be very, very challenging with crowd noise and all the great things they do there. “Always a great kicking game. A l w a y s have those linebacker types, those safety types, covering punts, covering kicks. They’ve got some really great skill players. I know offensively they’ve been a little bit out of sync, but their receivers, Hamilton, Godwin. Those guys can roll, and they make plays. “They’ve played in bad weather games. I think it’s limited their ability to connect with the pass game. Tight ends, a couple big guys they use. Running backs, skill, a couple kids have been hurt. Their offensive skill set is very, very scary. They’ve had in their transition, they’ve had depth problems at line. They’re better. Got a top JC guy. When their line gets going and one of the premier quarterbacks in college ball can get run game and rhythm, they’re a great offense. “Tremendous defensive challenge. Great playmakers on offense. They’ve been really, really close. They’ve won four in a row. It’s their homecoming. It’s going to be a tough environment.” So, this is a match-up of contrasting teams. Indiana comes in with a potent scoring attack and a porous defense, and Penn State has an outstanding defense and an offense that has not come together for any consistent length of time. This is another game where the Penn State defense will again have to be at its best. But it is also a game where it will need to be complemented with some offense and good field position. A little rest here and there wouldn’t hurt either. Kickoff is set for noon on ESPN2.

The good, the bad and the ugly: Lions get another soggy win Another week, another water-logged win. It certainly wasn’t pretty, but the Penn State football team will take a victory any way it can get it. The Oct. 3 workmanlike 20-14 victory over Army West Point was the team’s final non-conference game of the year. The Nittany Lions slugged through the raindrops to send the “sellout” crowd home happy. As usual, there was plenty of good, bad and ugly to go around. Let’s take a look at the week that was: ■ The good — Christian Hackenberg. Sure, his numbers weren’t gaudy, but Hack did just enough to lead the Nittany Lions to victory. Without Saquon Barkley and Akeel Lynch, he was forced into several throwing situations. He completed 10 of 19 passes for 156 yards and a touchdown. Most importantly, he didn’t turn the ball over. Hey, it’s a start. ■ The bad — Playing down to the competition … again. Once again, Penn State let a lesser opponent hang around. Army had no business being in the game, but there the Black Knights were in the second half of the game. Penn State has to get better at putting teams away as it gets into conference play. ■ The ugly — Attendance. Look, we don’t blame those of you who decided to stay away. We get it. The weather was horrific. It’s hard to argue with fans going to a sports bar instead of sitting in the rain. However, when Penn State announced attendance as a “sellout” — 107,387 — it is insulting to everyone. Start counting fannies in the seats and not tickets sold, Penn State. You’re better than that. — Chris Morelli

If PSU is growing, four big opportunities remain By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — If you set aside the prideful belief that Penn State should always beat everyone because Penn State is just the greatest, there are two ways to look at the remaining schedule. One way is that it can be a slate of games with four big opportunities. The Nittany Lions will travel to face the No. 1, No. 4 and No. 13 teams in the nation in the coming weeks. Penn State also is hosting No. 18 Michigan to end the home schedule. Those rankings might change, but chances are that the two Top 5 teams will both be highly ranked when that day comes. Those are big chances to make a statement, to make a headline and remind people you’re still out there lurking. College football notices when you beat a ranked opponent, then for the most part it forgets. That’s just how it works. But in all honesty those games aren’t that important for Penn State in the big picture. Penn State is a program building and working toward a goal of simply moving forward. You beat a Top 15 team — sure, it’s a big deal. The thing is, those moments so rarely change the outcome of the average season. How many massive upsets in college football truly change a program? Things might be dif-

Injuries forced Scott into the lineup. ferent, but at the end of the day it’s one game, no matter how big a win it was in the rankings. It’s one game. Bad teams will be bad again no matter who they beat last year. So, there is another way to look at Penn State’s remaining schedule. There are three big games left, all against unranked teams.

That’s right. Indiana, Maryland and Illinois are three programs balancing between average and bottom of the barrel. They may not sell tickets, they may not bring in the prime time crowds, but win those games and you take real steps forward. As Penn State’s offense struggles and the program grows under James Franklin, it’s getting

wins against teams you ought to beat that makes the difference. That’s how Joe Paterno made his money. And it’s how you go from being a program under development to a program winning titles, changing a program that has just seven double digit-win total seasons in the past 22 years. That makes this weekend a big test for Penn State. Facing an In-

Lions shine during non-conference play By MARLEY PAUL StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — After five weeks of play, the Nittany Lions have wrapped up their non-conference schedule with a 20-14 win versus Army West Point on Oct. 3. Penn State now resumes conference play, playing four Top 20 teams during the remaining seven games of the season. Before the Nittany Lions enter conference play, let’s take a look at the season’s top performers, sor far: ■ Saquon Barkley — 42 rushes, 373 yards, three touchdowns. It’s a no brainer here. The true freshman has been a spark plug for Penn Since, after receiving just one carry in the season opener versus Temple. Barkley torched Buffalo for 115 yards and a touchdown, plus a highlight-reel hurdle to add insult to injury. He followed that with a 195yard, two-touchdown outing versus Rutgers. The only thing that has stopped the two-time Big Ten Freshman of the Week has been injury. He picked up one, presumably his ankle, during the first half versus San Diego State, while he already piled up 66 yards on eight carries. The offense hasn’t been pretty with Barkley off the field, so Penn State fans hope the running back is ready for conference play. ■ Linebacker U — Jason Cabinda (37 tackles), Troy Reeder (27 tackles), Brandon Bell (19 tackles, 2.5 TFL, one FF). There were many questions surrounding the depth of the linebacker corps following the season-ending injury to Nyeem Wartman-White just one quarter into the season. In Wartman-White’s absence, Cabinda has blossomed, starting all five games and now leading the team with 37 tackles, including a 14-tackle outing versus Army. Reeder has been effective, punishing opposing ball carriers for 27 tackles, which has him tied for the second-most on the team. Bell has been fighting the injury bug, but in his three games of action the junior linebacker has had 19 tackles and a forced fumble. ■ Carl Nassib — 23 tackles, eight sacks, 10 TFL, three FF and one interception. Nassib has somewhat stolen the spotlight from Austin Johnson and Anthony Zettel on Penn State’s defensive line. Nassib was the lone bright spot in a humiliating loss

versus Temple, where he recorded 10 tackles, 2.5 for a loss and a sack. This performance simply foreshadowed what to expect from Nassib during his senior campaign, as he is now second in the nation in sacks with eight. The 6-foot-7 former walk-on is tied with Zettel for fifthmost tackles on the team with 23 apiece, helping form one of the most dangerous defensive lines in the nation. ■ Special teams returners — Nick Scott (six returns, 31.2 avg) and DeAndre Thompkins (12 returns, 11.1 avg). Perhaps the most inconsistent unit for Penn State has been special teams, particularly when it comes to punting. However, on kick and punt returns, Scott and Thompkins have habitually made quality returns, giving the offense favorable field position. Both freshmen, Scott has run six kick returns back for an average of 31.2 yards, while Thompkins is averaging 11.1 yards per punt return. If the offense develops some explosiveness, this team could throw some points on the board, quickly. ■ Chris Godwin — 23 catches, 349 yards, 15.2 per, one touchdown. As Christian Hackenberg continues to find his comfort with the offense, Godwin has emerged as his go-to receiver in 2015. The two found great chemistry during the Pinstripe Bowl win last season, as they connected on seven throws for 140 yards and a touchdown.

diana squad that was two snaps from potentially beating Ohio State, the Nittany Lions can take a tangible step toward being the program they want to be. Beating Indiana isn’t exciting, but it’s a Big Ten win and it’s a win against a team fans are used to looking down on. Wins over Ohio State are flashy and fun, but they’re a novelty unless you string a few of them together. Wins over those three unranked teams are actually signs of progress. It’s a tough pill for fans to swallow, but that’s simply how it is. Because, when it comes down to it, Penn State football is a middle-of-the-pack college football team in a major college football program’s body. And the best way to change that is to beat your neighbors, not to throw rocks through the windows of the rich kid’s house. They’ll still be sitting in the hot tub at the end of the day, and you’ll still be sitting at home looking at all the fancy lights remembering that one time you poked a bear with a stick. It’s not that Penn State fans should be content and super happy about wins over traditionally poor programs. It’s just that there isn’t a lot of evidence to suggest Penn State isn’t a few losses against those programs from being one too. Couple those big wins with a big opportunity or two, and now you’re talking about being a big deal.

Four things to look for when replacing windows Unlike some home improvements, window upgrades are complex, involving many moving parts. If you are in the market for replacement windows, don’t rush into a decision until doing some research and evaluating what will work best on your home. Here are four things to consider when replacing your home’s windows, according to the experts at ProVia, a window manufacturing company: ■ An energy-efficient glass package. The right windows will protect your home and keep you comfortable all year long, limiting the sun’s rays from coming through and fading your carpet and upholstery, as well as preventing cold air from entering your home in the colder months. “Test your current windows by touching them. If you feel the outside chill and air coming through, it may be time for a change,” said Wanda Angel, brand manager for doors and windows at ProVia. Seek Energy Star-certified high-performance windows, ideal for the weather extremes particular to your region. They should have multiple panes and feature technologies that offer reduced heat loss, warmer glass temperature and reduced interior condensation. ■ Warranty. Windows can cost thousands of dollars. Protect your investment by opting for

windows that come with a lifetime warranty that includes glass breakage and seal failure. A comprehensive warranty should also be transferrable to the next homeowner. This feature can potentially increase your home’s value when you put it on the market. ■ Weather stripping. Prevent air infiltration through your windows with proper weather stripping. A bulb seal at the bottom of the window, which is a rubberized seal that compresses to the sill, combined with fin weather stripping on verticals and horizontals, will give you triple weather stripping that acts as a true barrier against drafts, keeping you comfortable and helping reduce utility bills. ■ Beauty. Your windows, like any exterior element on your home, should complement its architecture and add beauty to your house. While certain architectural styles such as Colonial once reigned, there’s a new trend toward American Craftsman homes. Forward-thinking window manufacturers are responding to the call by offering grid patterns, stain and paint finishes suitable for this growing need. Make an investment in your home with lasting impact. Seek windows that offer comfort, functionality and beauty for years to come.

Comeback Kids

State College erases 10-point deficit for convincing win over Chambersburg By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — If there were take-backs in football, the State College Little Lions would certainly love to trade in the first quarter of the Chambersburg game on Oct. 2 at Memorial Field. With little to lose, surprising 0-4 Chambersburg came in well prepared, hyped and aiming to take out State College for its first win of the season. The Trojans backed it up on the field. They dominated most of the first half, took a 10-point lead and kept the ball out of the hands of State High’s offense and dangerous running back Jordan Misher. But it didn’t last. The Little Lions waited, and when their chances came, they took immediate and full advantage of them. A failed fourth-down attempt and three Trojan fumbles opened the gates for the Lions. They put up five unanswered touchdowns and a field goal as they pulled away for a 38-10 Mid-Penn win. Misher got things rolling for State College. He scored two quick touchdowns late in the second quarter that put the Lions ahead 14-10 at halftime, and he then scored twice more in a 24point third quarter that put the game away. Misher finished the night with 146 yards on 17 carries and the four touchdowns. He has now gained more than 100 yards in all five State College games this season. Wide receiver Kellin Valentine’s 6-yard run and a 43-yard field goal by Kevin Cramer completed the scoring for the Lions. “To open up the game, Chambersburg did a great job on both sides of the football,” State College coach Matt Lintal said. “They sustained some long drives there that kept the ball away from Misher. But once we were able to settle down as a defense, we really got things going there.

HALEY NELSON/For the Gazette

STATE COLLEGE Area High School linebacker Pete Haffner makes a tackle during the Oct. 2 game against Chambersburg at Memorial Field. The Little Lions won, 34-10. “The biggest difference was once we adjusted and were able to put a hat on a hat, we were able to move the football.” Chambersburg looked like anything but a winless team when the game began. The Trojans took the opening kickoff, drove 61 yards on 15 plays and recorded the first score of the night on a 33-yard field goal by Nazeer Taylor. That drive stalled short of a touchdown, but the Trojans’ next one didn’t. After recovering a State High fumble, Chambersburg marched again. This time is was 50 yards in five plays, with the big play being a 21-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Kaden Hoover that running back Darius Johnson

took in after breaking two tackles inside the 5-yard line. Suddenly it was 10-0, and State College had yet to run its third play. “It’s homecoming week,” State College quarterback Tyler Snyder said. “We came out super excited and it got the best of us at the beginning of the game. But we got together, our team leaders got us together, and we came out and played a great football game.” Whatever those team leaders said worked. The game turned after Chambersburg’s third possession. The Trojans were driving again, looking to make it 17-0, but the State College defense had enough. On a fourth-and-2 from the Lions’ 27, running back Warren Lee was

stonewalled for no gain, and the ball went over to State College. A penalty forced State College to punt again, but this time Chambersburg went nowhere, and State College got it back on its own 39. Seven plays later, Misher ran 18 yards into the end zone for the Lions first score. Two minutes after that, State College’s Brandon Clark recovered a Trojan fumble, and four plays later, Misher went in again to put State College ahead, 14-10. “It’s always easy to hand it off to Jordan (Misher),” Snyder said. “You have one of the best running backs in the state back there. He opens up more than just our running game; he opens up the passing game and all the trick plays our coach likes to throw in.”

Misher and the Lions were far from done. State College scored the next four times it had the ball, starting with a five-play, 52-yard march with the second-half kickoff. Misher did the honors again — this time from 23 yards out — to give State College an 11-point lead just over two minutes into the second half. Before that quarter ended, the Lions’ Kevin Cramer kicked a 43yard field goal, Misher chalked up his fourth touchdown on a 39-yard run, and Kellin Valentine scored on a 6-yard sweep. Valentine’s touchdown capped a 38point run by the Little Lions. “It wasn’t like a pep rally in there (at halftime),” Lintal said. “It was more like, ‘Hey guys, we put two on the board already. We just got to keep pounding, take the ball away on defense, and we got to pound on offense.’ Our kids came out and really executed.” After Chambersburg’s first three possessions, the State College defense forced the Trojans to punt four times and took away three fumbles. Except for 53 yards gained in the final two minutes of the game, SC held Chambersburg to a total of just 59 yards in seven possessions. The win was the Little Lions’ third in a row after two losses to begin the season, and it gives them a 2-0 record in the MidPenn. But looming just over the horizon is undefeated Central Dauphin. CD will be coming to Memorial Field on Friday, Oct. 9, and Lintal is already looking forward to the game. “We’ve got a lot of work to do, no doubt,” he said, “and we have a real tough opponent in Central Dauphin this coming week. We’re really excited for that opportunity, and we’re really glad to have them here at our place. “They’ve got one of the best defenses in the state, and their defensive line has tremendous stars on it. So we’re excited for the opportunity to play a really, really great opponent.”

Golden Eagles spoil Bellefonte’s Senior Night, 42-0 By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — Playing Tyrone is never an easy task. Toss in some lousy weather, a few mistakes and it’s a recipe for disaster. That was the case on Oct. 2 as the Golden Eagles crushed Bellefonte, 42-0, on Senior Night at Rogers Stadium. Tyrone ran over, around and through the Red Raiders, who slipped to 1-4 on the season. “It just didn’t go our way tonight,” said Bellefonte head coach Shanon Manning. “To be honest with you, this was a fear of mine the whole week. You come off an emotional loss like last week and you wonder, ‘Does it hang over? Or does it go away?’ Our preparation was good, but Tyrone is a very good football team.” The Golden Eagles (4-1) ground attack got the job done on this night. They racked up 209 yards on 32 carries. Gary Weaver paced the Eagles with 89 yards on 22 carries. He found the end zone three times. Bellefonte hung with Tyrone for the first 12 minutes. That didn’t come as a surprise to Golden Eagles’ head coach Jason Wilson. “I thought the first quarter really represented how our week of practice was,” Wilson said. “We didn’t have a good week of practice and we started off really sluggish in the first quarter. They realized that Bellefonte isn’t a bad football team. I

thought they really picked it up in the second quarter.” It’s hard to argue with that statement. The Golden Eagles got on the board with 8:07 to go in the half when Weaver scored from 2 yards out. Up 7-0, the Golden Eagles dropped the kickoff between several Red Raiders. Tyrone’s Michael Lewis scooped up the live ball. “The crazy part was, repped it and repped it throughout the week,” Manning said of the pooch kick. “But once it happens, we are talking about teenagers … they are a little unpredictable on how things go.” But Tyrone had the football — and all the momentum it would need. Weaver scored again, this time on a 3-yard run. The extra point was no good and the Tyrone lead was 13-0. Tyrone got the ball back following a Bellefonte three-and-out. Parker Mitchell scored the game’s third touchdown , taking an end around 60 yards for the score. Just like that, it was 20-0. On Bellefonte’s next possession, quarterback Mark Armstrong threw a costly interception that was returned deep into Red Raider territory. Tyrone wasted no time scoring and tacked on another TD. With 1:44 left in the second quarter, it was 27-0. Turnovers, which have plagued the Red Raiders all season long, came back to bite them once again.

TIM WEIGHT/For the Gazette

BELLEFONTE’S AUSTIN JACKSON fights off a Tyrone defender during the Oct. 2 game at Rogers Stadium. The Golden Eagles won the game, 42-0. “I do think we have gotten better, but it still has to be a point of emphasis. When you’re putting the football on the ground and you’re five weeks in, it’s a fingerprint that you’ve gotta change,” Manning said. In the second half, it was more of the same for the Red Raiders. Tyrone added a pair of scores to make it 42-0 and get a running clock. Needless to say, it was a far cry from the scoreless tie that took place over the first

12 minutes. “When your confidence is kind of teetering and you’re playing a team like Tyrone and things start to go south, they go south quickly,” Manning said. “You’re playing a team that has won … when things go bad, they sense that too. (Tyrone) jumped on that.” Bellefonte will try to get back on track Friday, Oct. 9, when the Clearfield Bison visit Rogers Stadium.

Week 6: Centre County teams look to turn things around By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

On Oct. 2, State College took care of Chambersburg with a strong second half, but that was the only good news for Centre County high school football teams. All five of the other teams lost — four of them by big margins — but everyone will be back in action on Friday, Oct. 9, and Saturday, Oct. 10, looking to pick up what have become very elusive wins. Here’s a look at the schedule:

CENTRAL DAUPHIN (5-0) AT STATE COLLEGE (3-2)

Central Dauphin over the last five years has been a wrecking ball in the Mid-Penn Commonwealth Division, and this year is no exception. The Rams are 5-0 this season and 2-0 in the conference following a 50-6 demolition of Harrisburg. In that game, CD went about its business the way it usually does — with a suffocating defense and a pounding ground game. There isn’t anything fancy about how they play. Harrisburg’s did not score an offensive touchdown and was limited to three first downs, 97 yards of total offense and just 35 yards on the ground. Defensive lineman Micah Parsons blocked an extra point in the game and recovered two fumbles, returning one for a 36-yard touchdown that gave CD a 34-6 lead with two seconds left in the first half. It was a typical Ram performance on defense. They have yet to give up more than 21 points, and opponents are averaging just 11 points per game. On offense, CD doesn’t pass very much — it averages 13 passes and 87 yards — but the Rams run for more than 254 yards every night. Raleigh Sirb is a top-tier back with 608 yards running this season (121 per game) and 10 touchdowns, but CD also has three other backs with over 100 yards rushing, including quarterback A.J. Millar with 134 on 30 attempts. As a team, CD has 1,273 yards on the ground and 20 touchdowns. In all, the Rams have been living up to their ranking as the No. 1 team in the state. For State College, this will be a game that will test its progress after beginning the year with two losses. The Little Lions have won three straight after it 38-10 win over Chambersburg on Oct. 2. SC also has a 2-0 record in the Mid-Penn. Jordan Misher and the Lion rushing game has been the story so far — very similar to CD — and their defense has also been playing very well. “We have a real tough opponent in Central Dauphin this coming week,” State College coach Matt Lintal said after the Chambersburg game. “We’re really excited for that opportunity, and we’re really glad to have them here at our place. “They’ve got one of the best defenses in the state, and their defensive line has tremendous stars on it. So we’re excited for the opportunity to play a really, really great opponent.” Game time is 7 p.m. at Memorial Field.

BELLEFONTE’S NICK JABCO (21) breaks up a pass during the Oct. 2 game with Tyrone. The Red Raiders will try to notch their second win of the year when Clearfield visits. PHILIPSBURG-OSCEOLA (0-5) AT PENNS VALLEY (1-4)

The Mounties and Rams will meet in a Mountain League contest on Friday, Oct. 9, in a game that, for P-O, will be one to throw out the season records so far. The Mounties are struggling with a long, two-season losing streak, and every game for them is a chance to get a win and break that streak. Quarterback Jake Anderson and running backs Caleb Belinda and Ty Laird are solid skill people for the Mounties, but in recent weeks it has been the defense that has struggled. On Oct. 2, for example, Chestnut Ridge quarterback Logan Hauck was a perfect 20 out of 20 for 260 yards and five touchdowns in his team’s 51-7 win over P-O. And with the combination of PV’s Andrew Tobias and Ben Alexander coming up, P-O coach Mike Soyster will likely have a heavy emphasis on getting stops against the Rams. Penns Valley comes into this game in a different position. The Rams are looking for their second Mountain League win after they beat BEA on Sept. 18, and they still have three league games to go after P-O.

GAZETTE STAFF PREDICTIONS

Junior Andrew Tobias is coming into his own as the Ram quarterback, and he has completed 41 of 69 passes so far for 560 yards and five touchdowns. And, of course, versatile Ben Alexander is a threat, on offense or defense, any time he gets near the football. The Rams, also, have had their difficulties stopping other teams, so they will no doubt be aiming to clamp down on the P-O offense. Alexander looks like the wild card here. If P-O can keep him relatively in check, this might be a close game. Game time is 7 p.m. Week 6, Page 28

P-O takes down Bald Eagle Area in overtime, 3-2 By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

PHILIPSBURG — There are probably more clichés in sports about having to play until the final whistle than any other aspect of a game. And all of them could apply to Philipsburg-Osceola’s 3-2 boys’ soccer win over Bald Eagle Area in overtime on Oct. 5. The Mounties were gliding along with a two-goal lead and milking the clock as it ticked toward the 75th minute in this Mountain League contest in Philipsburg. Suddenly, BEA’s Jared Gettig made a steal inside the P-O zone and bent a long shot past goalie Payton Moore to cut the lead to one goal. No problem, it seemed, until fewer than two minutes later when Chris Dunklebarger slapped in another BEA score that tied the game with just three minutes to play. So instead of the P-O shutout that looked so imminent just moments before, the teams were tied 2-2 and heading into their second overtime game this year. With BEA now carrying all the momentum, three consecutive goals and a come-from-behind win were not out of the question. But the Mounties won the overtime toss and immediately pressed the action. Seven minutes in, their aggressiveness paid off when right wing Ben Handel scored from in front to give Philipsburg the win, 3-2, and move it one step closer toward playoff qualification. Handel’s goal also elicited more than one sigh of relief from the P-O sideline. “I felt like we dominated the game for 75 minutes,” P-O coach Shawn Inlow said. “We had them in trouble most of the game, and we looked up, and here they are. It’s Bald Eagle Area, tied with us at the end again. “I said, ‘Go out (in overtime) and do what you did for 75 minutes,’ and they did. When our guys are backing off, we’re not at our best. But when we’re attacking, moving forward, we are.” The first game between these teams ended in a tie after two overtimes, so this game started tentatively. Slowly P-O began to take the advantage, and after four missed shots and two saves, Eric Tew scored off a pass from Adrian Krise in the 18th minute to make it 1-0. Up to that point, BEA had only one shot, but the Eagles responded with two shots on goal, by Gettig and Jakob Ream, that were both saved by Moore. P-O was able to restore order, and then the Mounties struck again in the 32nd minute. Senior Austin Krise,

P-O’s high scorer, headed one in after a corner kick and the Mounties had a 2-0 lead. “It was one of those ones where I’m taller than everyone,” Krise said about his goal, “and I can see over everyone. It’s my specialty.” With the Mounties now ahead by two goals, that was it, or it seemed like that was it. From there and through 35 minutes of the second half, the P-O defenders stymied the Eagles at every turn. BEA did have some difficult chances — one on goal that was saved — but the clock was quickly turning against it. Then Gettig secured the ball up top and curved a hard shot low and to the right of Moore for BEA’s first goal. There was 5:05 left to play. The goal did something to the Mountie defense because suddenly there were attack opportunities open for the Eagles. Just over two minutes after Gettig scored, Ream hit the top bar with a hard shot and the ball bounced free in front. Dunklebarger was there to knock it in and tie the game. “This team has been doing this all year long,” BEA coach Jason Bair said. “They don’t quit. They continue pushing on. This is now the seventh game that we lost by one goal. I think we’ve been in overtime six times this year. “So they have the ability to play with anybody, it’s just that little edge they need to get over.” With all bets off after regulation, the two teams prepared for overtime. “I had a few choice words to say to them,” Inlow said. P-O took possession first and immediately began to threaten. The Mounties just missed shots in the 82nd minute and the 84th minute, and then Handel took a pass in a crowd and knocked it in for the winning goal. “My good friend, Anthony Cassler, passed it over to me,” Handel said, “and, well, I shot. I didn’t see the goalie, I just saw the goal and shot.” Handel’s goal gave P-O its sixth win against three losses

and two ties. It also moved the Mounties to within one win of qualifying for the 2015 playoffs. “One more (win) and we clinch the playoffs for the sixth straight year,” Inlow said. “That’s good. We’ve been consistent. We are scoring more goals this year, but we are also giving up more goals, which is a problem. If we can square that up at the end — that game should have been over at halftime — and get one more win, it’s just a matter of seeding for the districts.”

CLEARFIELD (4-1) AT BELLEFONTE (1-4)

Bellefonte hung tough in its first three losses of the season to John Marshall, Jersey Shore and Huntingdon, but the Tyrone game on Oct. 2 began to get out of hand in the second quarter, and the Raiders could not respond. Tyrone rode its 27-point halftime lead to a 42-0 Mountain League win. Things do not get any easier on Friday, Oct. 9, for the Raiders when Clearfield comes in to Rogers Stadium. The

DEALS OF THE WEEK!

Bison are 4-1 so far, including an impressive 19-8 victory at Central on Sept. 18. Clearfield’s only loss came in Week 1 to Maryland powerhouse Fort Hill by a score of 49-14. Since then, the Bison’s closest game has been a 21-point win over Brockway. Bellefonte moved the ball against Tyrone to the tune of 13 first downs and 210 yards of offense. Yet the Raiders could not handle the balance of Tyrone’s attack and gave up four running touchdowns and two passing. Ditto Clearfield. The Bison pass for 150 yards per game and run for another 240, and they can strike either way for long plays at any time. Game time is 7 p.m.

BALD EAGLE AREA (1-4) AT TYRONE (4-1)

Speaking of teams with two tough games in a row, Bald Eagle Area will travel to Tyrone after losing 42-0 on Oct. 2 to Central. BEA played good defense against the Dragons, especially in the first half, but two punt returns for touchdowns led to a 14-point deficit at halftime. Central asserted itself in the second half and pulled away for a 42-0 win. BEA will have to play that kind of defense again and this time take it into the second half against a very quick and balanced Tyrone offense. It will not be easy, though, against a Golden Eagle team trying to stay atop the Mountain League standings.

Seeking fresh perspectives to shape the future of food No matter if you live in a suburban, urban or rural area, new farming innovations are putting food on your plate, clothes on your back and fuel in your tanks. And whether or not you’re a foodie, a gardener or a large scale grower, you’re benefiting from visionary leaders across the country who are changing the way we grow our food, fuel and fiber. In a constantly evolving economy, America’s farmers, ranchers and rural leaders face what experts call a daunting task: growing the food an expanding urban population needs and making sure that they’re able to continue doing so. “The future success of the agricultural industry relies on innovative leadership,” says Leigh Picchetti, senior vice president of national communications for the Farm Credit Council, which represents the nationwide network of Farm Credit lenders that provide financial services and loans to rural communities and agriculture. To recognize those in the industry who are changing the future of rural enterprise and agriculture, and to celebrate its 100th Anniversary, Farm Credit has launched Farm Credit 100 Fresh Perspectives, a nationwide initiative to honor 100 leaders and innovators from across the country whose insights and influence are ensuring thriving rural communities for years to come. “This is a national search, and we’ve already received

nominations from 40 states representing both urban leaders like chefs and academicians and rural producers farming the land,” says Picchetti. “We know there are additional worthy leaders out there and we’re hoping to receive many more nominations.” Individuals, couples and groups are eligible for nomination in 10 categories. Ten of the 100 honorees will receive a $10,000 award to help further their leadership contributions, along with a trip for themselves and a guest to Washington, D.C., in 2016 to participate in a special recognition event. A panel of experts will evaluate the nominations, which can be submitted by anyone and are being accepted now through Dec. 18, 2015. Winners will be announced in March 2016 in conjunction with National Ag Day. Farm Credit 100 Fresh Perspectives categories include: ■ Rural and Urban Connection ■ Mentoring and Volunteerism ■ Agriculture Education and Community Impact ■ Rural Policy Influence ■ Leadership (over 21) ■ Youth Leadership (21 and younger) ■ Beginning Farmer or Rancher Achievement ■ Entrepreneurship and Innovation ■ Sustainability and Natural Resource Conservation

A New Era

The Pennsylvania Centre Orchestra PRESENTS

Emerson’s visit to Penn State will include a variety of no-cost engagement events, including a visit by Liebermann, for students and the public. Since its inception in 1976, the New York City-based quartet has recorded more than 30 albums and won nine Grammy and three Gramophone awards. In January, the quartet received the Richard J. Bogomolny National Service Award, the highest honor bestowed by Chamber Music America, a national association of professional chamber musicians. Emerson also is notable for how the musicians are arranged on stage, with the violinists alternating first-chair position. In 2002, the ensemble started performing in the standing position, with the cellist seated on a riser, a formation that results in better sound projection. “We feel freer while playing, and cues are easier to follow,” said violinist Eugene Drucker. In 2013, Paul Watkins succeeded long-

time cellist David Finckel, co-artistic director of The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. “The ‘old’ Emerson String Quartet never phoned one in,” wrote a New York Times reviewer. “But this new group — Mr. Watkins alongside the violinists Eugene Drucker and Philip Setzer and the violist Lawrence Dutton — complemented their customary power, finesse and unanimity with a fresh, palpable vigor at (Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall), and it was electrifying.” Tickets may be purchased online at www.cpa.psu.edu or by phone at (814) 863-0255 or (800) ARTS-TIX. Tickets are also available at four State College locations: Eisenhower Auditorium (weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), Penn State Downtown Theatre Center (weekdays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.), HUBRobeson Center Information Desk (weekdays, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.) and Bryce Jordan Center (weekdays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.).

AROUND & IN TOWN Bellefonte Art Museum features many new exhibits in October By CONNIE COUSINS correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — On Oct. 4, the Bellefonte Art Musuem held an opening reception for “Journey to the Golden Fleece,” a show that features works by hand-spinners and fiber artists from around the world. Arlene Thayer and Suzy Brown, of Fibery Goodness, collected the works for the show. Members of the Fibery Goodness art collective belong to an international group of spinners who create their works from start to finish. They collect the wool, spin the threads and do the color dyeing before creating their fiber art pieces. Judith Finkelstein, a local fiber artist and member of the artist registry at the Bellefonte Art Musuem, helped curate the exhibition. She added artifacts to the show to highlight the historic process of creating fiber art. If you stop by the musuem, you will see a loom, a spinning wheel and a flax break. The day also featured a First Sunday art class for children taught by Finkelstein and a demonstration of dropspinning technique and wearable fiber art by Ann Pangborn. On Sunday, Oct. 11, Finkelstein will lead children and adults in a “Making Dreamcatchers” class. No reservations are required for this drop-in, one-hour class. Cost for children ages 6 though 12 is $15, and $25 for those older than 12. On Sundays, the museum is open from 1 to 4:30 p.m. “Journey to the Golden Fleece” continues through Sunday, Nov. 29. Other exhibits in the museum include: ■ The works of artist Jennifer Berghage, through Sunday, Oct. 25, and the creations of Genevieve Williamson from Friday, Oct. 30, through Sunday, Nov. 29, in the Jewelry Gallery. (The Holiday Show and Sale in December will feature several jewelry artists from the BAM registry.) ■ The works of 13 of the artist registry’s newest

members in the “New Artist Show” in the Community Gallery. ■ “Juxtapositions,” by Dotty Ford, in the Sieg Gallery. ■ The works of Charleen Casbourne, Susan Parsonage and ZheKa in the Tea Room Gallery. ■ Pieces by Stacie Bird, Nancy Burch Brassington, Anne Cortese and Karen Deutsch in the Print Gallery. The Bellefonte Art Museum for Centre County is located at 133 N. Allegheny St. in Bellefonte. Call (814) 355-4280 for more information.

Food science researchers find smartphone beneficial By JEFF MULHOLLEM Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — Smartphones are so ubiquitous, and text messaging and social media activities so common in public places, that no one questions what what people do with their phones. That pervasiveness allows a phone application to be used in direct, concealed observations without alerting the people being observed. That is the conclusion of food science researchers in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences, who studied whether phones could be used in place of the traditional clipboards to improve the quality of data collection related to food safety observations. Food safety practices used by food handlers are often monitored for research, inspection and regulatory purposes. However, if surveillance is not concealed, it can result in unintended behavioral changes, according to Catherine Cutter, professor of food science. Those changes — known as the Hawthorne Effect — can render such observations meaningless. “Direct concealed observations have been used to minimize the Hawthorne Effect during observational data collection in various settings, but some limitations can include the need to memorize observations or take notes out of sight of those being observed,” said Cutter, a food safety specialist with Penn State Extension. “In our research, we describe a newly developed smartphone and tablet application for use as a data collection tool for direct concealed observations.” The researchers, who recently published their findings in the journal Food Protection Trends, worked with

a smartphone-application developer to create an app that includes features needed to document direct concealed observations of food handlers, including the creation of checklists to record aspects such as hand hygiene, the adequacy of hand-washing facilities, the temperature in coolers holding ready-to-eat foods and the presence of potentially hazardous foods. The app allows observers to easily add photos, audio, videos and open-ended notes to their reports. To evaluate the use of smartphones as inconspicuous data collection tools, the researchers developed and disseminated a short survey to assess public perceptions of smartphone use in a retail setting. Participants viewed images of individuals using either a smartphone or a clipboard in a retail environment and provided open-ended responses. Ninety-five percent of participant responses indicated that images of clipboard use in a retail setting suggested evaluative activities — research, inspection and so forth — whereas none of the participants indicated that images of smartphone use in the same environment suggested evaluative activities, said Robson Machado, a doctoral candidate in food science. “We are so into our phones today, and everyone has one and carries it around, so it easily can be used as a nonthreatening tool to make direct, concealed behavioral observations, and no one will ever realize you are doing it,” he said. “An observer can just pretend to be texting or fiddling with the phone, while monitoring the interactions between customers and workers in retail establishments, such as supermarket delicatessens.” These results demonstrate, Machado explained, that

ClearWater Conservancy names new executive director STATE COLLEGE —Deborah Nardone, of Halfmoon Township, a longtime champion of natural places and clean water, has been named executive director of ClearWater Conservancy in State College. A conservationist with a quarter century of experience working in many arenas, from the mountains and valleys of central Pennsylvania to Capitol Hill, Nardone looks forward to being ClearWater’s fourth executive director. “I am excited to join the expert staff and dedicated board at ClearWater Conservancy. Having worked on watershed conservation issues at the local, state and national level, it’s quite a privilege to bring my expertise in nonprofit leadership home to my own community and backyard,” Nardone said. “I look forward to once again working directly with partners in central Pennsylvania to conserve the land and water resources where we live, work and play. ClearWater is known for being a strong community collaborator and an important technical resource — helping to shape and sustain a vibrant community and healthy ecosystem. I plan to build on that reputation as we grow this organization and its impact on this great community.” Nardone comes to ClearWater with more than 20 years of broad experience in the field of natural conservation. She has worked for local, state and national organizations, including the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, the Allegheny Ridge Heritage

Area, Pennsylvania Council of Trout Unlimited and the Sierra Club. “The board of directors is excited to have Deb Nardone join the ClearWater team. Through her past experience planning and coordinating local conservation DEBORAH efforts and organizing NARDONE an extensive national campaign, she has demonstrated that she possesses the vision and leadership skills that will advance ClearWater’s mission,” said board president Steve Miller. Nardone was awarded the Conservation Professional of the Year Award by National Trout Unlimited in 2010 and was named one of the Top 40 Pennsylvanians Under the Age of 40 working to protect the environment by the Pennsylvania Environmental Council. Nardone earned bachelor’s degrees in environmental science and political science from Juniata College and a master’s degree in environmental pollution control from Penn State University. She resides on a small, wooded lot with her husband, Jason Little, and their son, Jonah, 8. Together, they enjoy hiking, camping, canoeing, fishing, hunting, gardening and cooking.

A NEW APP allows observers to easily add photos, audio, videos and open-ended notes to food safety reports. use of a smartphone for data collection in a retail setting might not be perceived as an evaluative activity and that its application during direct, concealed observations could minimize behavioral changes among subjects being observed. “This study should be of interest to researchers, regulatory personnel and food industry professionals who are seeking ways to evaluate the food safety behaviors of food handlers,” he said. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Penn State Extension and the College of Agricultural Sciences supported this research.
