Students hold vigil to honor victims of international violence By ALEXA LEWIS

news@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The two flags on Old Main lawn flew halfmast on Nov. 17 as more than 1,000 students gathered for an evening candlelight vigil to show solidarity with France and other countries where recent violence has occurred. “They say that actions speak louder than words. This is the best action we can take to fight something like this,” said the vigil’s creator and main organizer, Brandon Sullivan, who is a freshman at Penn State. A friend sent Sullivan a text message about the attacks while he was working a shift late Nov. 13, unaware of what was happening in Paris. He said he was disgusted at “the fear, the pain and the terror” of the images that he looked up on Google to confirm his friend’s message.

Word of the vigil spread through a Facebook page that Sullivan created. He anticipated the event would only receive a couple hundred RSVPs. By the morning of the vigil, more than 1,500 people said they would attend. The event started with a 30-second moment of silence to honor not only the 129 people killed in the multiple attacks that took place on Nov. 13 in Paris, but also the 43 victims of suicide attacks in Beirut and 26 victims of the roadside bombings in Bagdad. “We must not forget that the French were not the only ones touched on that horrific night,” Sullivan said. “Attacks were made on a global scale. Friday night, the world was set on fire.” The event also honored the dozens of people killed the day of the vigil in a market bombing in Nigeria. People injured and displaced from

violence or natural disasters in recent history were also included. “Over the past week, we have seen an attack on our civil liberties, a terrorist ideology that wishes to change our fundamental values — life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; liberté, égalité et fraternité,” said Justin Rongier, the president of Penn State’s French Club, when he addressed the crowd. Rongier encouraged people to continue doing what they love to overcome these tragic events, including going to concerts, soccer matches and restaurants — a reference to the places in Paris where the series of coordinated terrorist attacks by ISIS took place.

BELLEFONTE — The Polar Bear Plunge, one of the YMCA of Centre County’s most popular fundraising events, will have a new look this year. Specifically, a new location. The 13th annual Polar Bear Plunge will shift venues from Bald Eagle State Park to Black Moshannon State Park. This year’s event will take place from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Dec. 5.

It has a beach for us, so that’s really nice.” The plunge will begin at 11 a.m., but participants are asked to be there by 10 a.m. According to Toukonen, the YMCA is still looking for plungers.

While the State College Water Authority said there is minimal risk from this development, residents at the public hearing said they are still concerned about the potential for water contamination from stormwater runoff. “That water, do you have any idea how much that water is worth?” township resident Joseph Cusumano asked the board. “The fact that we are Ferguson, Page 6

Small-town values guide Steve Brown’s life and career By HARRY ZIMBLER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — The growth of the Mount Nittany Health system in the past few years has been astonishing. Leading the organization though much of that growth has been Steve Brown, president and CEO. It’s easy to see the results of Brown’s leadership and his approach to building and working closely with a comprehensive health care delivery team. This year, the Renaissance Fund will celebrate Brown’s achievements by naming him Honoree of the Year for 2015. This annual award is presented to an individ-

What are his guiding principles, and how does he live them every day? It is clear, from the start, that Brown learned a great many lessons from his STEVE BROWN parents. “Dad worked as a farm inspector and served as a local councilman in the Mechanicsburg area,” Brown began. “My parents taught me the values I have now. I was raised in a household where I learned the Golden Rule. Helping others, giving back to life was imporant.” Brown, Page 6

Judge denies Sandusky subpoena power By ZACH BERGER StateCollege.com

BELLEFONTE — After two weeks of deliberation following a hearing that brought Jerry Sandusky back to the Bellefonte courthouse for the first time in three years, Judge John Cleland has ruled on the various post-conviction discovery requests. Attorneys for Sandusky made three general discovery requests — one related to Victim 2 and an allegedly false statement from the prosecutor at trial, a second related to financial incentives for victims to testify, and a third related to leaks from the investigative grand jury that prompted the charges against Sandusky. The grand jury-related discovery request was denied by Cleland after Attorney General Kathleen Kane was forced to testify under oath regarding a press release from her office, which Cleland misinterpreted to imply that Kane had information on grand jury leaks in the Sandusky case. Kane clarified that misunderstanding, and Cleland essentially told Sandusky’s attorneys that they cannot use the post-conviction discovery process to try to uncover documents that they do not know exist. That includes a report from two special prosecutors appointed by then-presiding grand jury judge Barry Feudale to investigate the leaks. There is no reason to believe that report does or does not exist, and Cleland has directed Sandusky’s attorneys to take up that issue with current presiding grand jury judge Norman A. Krumenacker III. In the case of Victim 2, Sandusky’s attorneys are alleging that the prosecutor lied during his closing arguments at trial when he said that he was not aware of the identity of that victim, who the prosecution alleged was seen being assaulted by Sandusky when Mike McQueary walked into the Lasch Building locker room, though McQueary’s story has changed

over the years. Sandusky’s attorneys wanted subpoena power to interview the man they believe is Victim 2 along with a number of investigators and the prosecutor, Joseph McGettigan. They believe that Sandusky’s trial counsel could be declared unfit for not objecting or asking for a mistrial following McGettigan’s statement. Alexander Lindsay, Sandusky’s attorney, has argued that his client is allowed the right to discovery under a Pennsylvania rule that provides that power if there are “exceptional circumstances.” Cleland does not think those circumstances exist, despite Lindsay’s argument that the highprofile nature of the trial makes it exceptional. “It is not the case that must be ‘exceptional.’ The term exceptional in this context does not refer to the nature of the case — its notoriety, publicity or public interest,” Cleland said. “Instead, the rule refers to exceptional circumstances — which is a reference to some unique problem in the process of uncovering information that Sandusky, Page 8

STATE COLLEGE — Some people get into the holiday spirit when this time of year rolls around. For others, the season is as an opportunity to take advantage of others. State College police are warning local retailers of a gift card scam that could see increased use as the holiday season approaches. According to a press release, the scammers are purchasing large amounts of gift cards using cloned credit cards with stolen data. The State College Police Department has investigated “several cases” of this fraud, in which gift cards amounting to between $500 and $2,000 are purchased using one or multiple credit cards. The press release warns retailers to be wary of customers with multiple credit cards in their possession when purchasing gift cards. “It is common for some of the cards

A road map for Penn State set to debut in 2016 By HARRY ZIMBLER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — The Penn State strategic plan, outlining the course the university will take over the next five years, is slated for release at the end of 2015. The university’s executive vice president, Dr. Nicholas Jones, outlined the major elements of the plan in a talk delivered Nov. 12 to the Rotary Club of Downtown State College. Jones’ talk examined the academic and research priorities for Penn State. “It is paramount that Penn State values service, as well as research and teaching,” said Jones. “We will seek positive outcomes in all that we do.” Jones explained that the strategic planning process included a great deal of “out of the box” thinking and vision. “We have to clearly establish a plan that defines our future,” he said. “It is more important now than ever. We need to be agile and adaptive. Seek constant innovation. How will we succeed? How will we measure success? We

need to engage the local communities and seek their support.” Jones also spoke about Penn State’s commitment to make an impact worldwide. The strategic plan will include five foundational, thematic principles that support the vision and mission of the university. First, Penn State must seek to be a global leader in learning, discovery and engagement. Second, the university must integrate its various missions, including teaching, research and community service. “The goal is to transform education, including the elevation of the arts and humanities,” Jones said. “We need to leverage digital innovation at the same time and be a consensus-drive beacon. We are in this together.” Jones said the strategic plan considers arts to be a core to the university’s mission, and there will be increased investment in the arts and humanities. The State College Community is already heavily invested in the arts, creating a cultural destination. The strategic plan also calls for the enhancement of

health in the population, creating a Penn State Health brand. “This is a global humanitarian issue,” said Jones. The fourth part of the plan includes addressing climate change to ensure that safe water, food and energy sources. The university has vast expertise in this area, he said. “When minds come together to address a cause, things get done.” The university also must prepare students for success in the digital age. T he Penn State EdTech network is driving collaboration with change-oriented companies. “We will bolster town-and-gown relations to be faster, smarter and more resourceful in all we do,” Jones said. “Penn State is at an exciting crossroads.” Jones noted that the strategic plan’s development has been guided by President Eric Barron’s six imperatives, which are also incorporated into all aspects of the plan. “Underpinning the planning process are foundational principles that drive everything the university does, and are imperatives for everyone and every part of Penn State,” he said.

Rudy’s files placed in Library of Congress WASHINGTON, D.C. — Former state Rep. Ruth C. Rudy, of Centre Hall, had her files from her time as president of the National Federation of Democratic Women placed in the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. at a ceremony held Nov. 16. The NFDW has existed for 45 years and Rudy served as president of the organization from 1987 to 1989. She also served the federation as their representative on the Democratic National Committee from 2000 to 2012. Her reports to the NFDW pertaining to the Democratic National Committee meetings were also submitted to the Library of Congress for perpetuity. The library’s director of manuscripts received from past presidents items including board meeting agendas, minutes, treasurer’s reports, committee and regional directors’ reports, DNC representatives’ reports, photographs and personal correspondence of presidents between board and the NFDW members, convention speakers, local, state and national political figures. A yearly convention of the NFDW was held at different cities throughout the U.S. and the numerous papers and program booklets generated by these meetings were included as well.

Church crafts blankets for Pee Dee tribe

Kildare’s property owner sells location for $7.5 million By ZACH BERGER StateCollege.com

By SAMANTHA BASTRESS correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — A local church has crafted more than 100 blankets for the Pee Dee tribe in South Carolina. The blankets, which include fleece throws and quilts, were made by a small group of about a dozen women at the St. John Union Church in Farmers Mills. The group meets on the first Monday of each month, and works year-round to create the blankets in time for the holiday season. “There were a couple marathon days over the summer,” said Ruth Vonada, leader of the sewing group. “On those days we worked from about three in the afternoon until eight at night.” The St. John Union Church also organizes the 30 Hour Famine to raise the funds necessary to assemble care packages filled with towels, shampoo and other toiletries. Gloves, hats and handmade scarves will also be sent to the Pee Dee. The Pee Dee tribe is not officially recognized by the federal government, making it harder for its members to seek aid. This year, some of the St. John Union Church fleece blankets will also be donated to the Penns Valley HOPE Fund, and care packages will also go to the homeless and needy living near the Pee Dee tribe.

STATE COLLEGE — A piece of State College property that has been at the center of heated debate within the borough council has been sold. Jeff Haas, the owner of 538 E. College Ave., where Kildare’s is located, confirmed that he sold the property to CA Student Living for $7.5 million. The Chicago-based real estate investment, development and managment firm has more than 17,750 student housing beds in its portfolio. The firm has residential buildings in the towns that are home to a number of universities, including Illinois, Florida State, Florida, Maryland, Purdue, Arizona, Oregon and BYU. Haas first approached borough council last summer with hopes to re-zone the 500 block of East College Avenue, allowing for additional floors in exchange for incentives to reach those heights. Council eventually passed their collegiate housing overlay text amendment in July, allowing for an 11-story building on that block, four stories higher than the previous maximum of seven. In order to construct an 11-story building, the developer would need to meet sustainability requirements, install com-

mercial space on the ground floor and provide at least two floors of professional and graduate housing. Haas is disappointed that he won’t be the one to develop the property under the new zoning law, but said that CA Student Living shares his vision for the location. “It was always our intention to develop the property. After the collegiate housing overlay was approved, we were contacted by CA Student Living,” Haas said. “With the combination of the financial opportunity and that CA shared our vision for a high-quality multi-use building for the property, we thought it was in our best interest and the best interest of the State College Borough’s continued downtown development ... to sell the property.” Haas always stressed building something nice on that location, something that the borough could be proud of at one of the gateways to downtown State College. He believes that the Chicago firm will carry out that vision. “I will be disappointed not being part of the building development,” Haas said. “We really wanted to build something special on the corner. With that said, I am confident CA shares our vision and will build a very special high-quality building.” Representatives from the Chicago firm weren’t immediately available for comment on their plans for the property.

Centre County Community Super Fair a success By CONNIE COUSINS correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — The second annual Super Fair, held Nov. 14 at Mount Nittany Middle School, was, well, super in every way. And why would Centre County hold such an event? Despite all the resources available in this area, there are still many persons who don’t know about the social services help that is available, or are too embarrassed to ask, or don’t know how to call and apply for assistance. It was the hope of the 115 agencies involved that highlighting them all in one place, with handouts and a fun, relaxed atmosphere, would allow people to learn more. Wally Steindorf, a member of the Retired Senior Volunteer Program, was stationed outside a room where sessions were taking place regarding Medicare, wills and energy bills. Steindorf was on hand to make sure visitors were aware of all that was available. And so it was all around the building, as many dedicated volunteers directed people to their prime interests. A group of Penn State students from the College of Nursing provided people with bone density testing onsite. They were enthusiastic about the day and being of service to their community. Jan Becker represented St. Paul’s Shoe Bank at the St. Paul’s United Methodist Church and Wesley Foundation. The shoe bank, located in Room 203 of the Wesley Student Center, is open every Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon. Children up to age 18 can receive a free pair of sneakers if they have a public assistance medical card or a referral slip from any social service agency. Children up to age 3 can receive a pair of sneakers every three months, and those older than 3 can get a new pair every six months. According to Becker, there are many people who do not know about the shoe bank and this was a way of getting the word out.

Another outreach of St. Paul’s is the Abba Java Coffeehouse on the corner of Locust Lane and Calder Way, where there is free study space, snacks and fair-trade coffee and tea, as well as special events. All Penn State students are welcome. Fall and spring semester hours are noon to 4 p.m. Sundays, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays. Setebaid Services Inc. was set up at the Super Fair to explain their Diabetes Education Service and Social Support System. They run diabetic camps for children, among their other services, and are located in Winfield. Melissa Ostroff-Gundrum, Centre County representative for the Lupus Pennsylvania Branch, also participated in the Super Fair. “It is a good way to help people understand this condition, by having this type of event,” she said. “Few people know about Lupus and it doesn’t receive the attention that many other diseases do.” She passed out booklets and pamphlets with lists of symptoms and description of treatments. Home nursing agencies and live-in facilities were well represented at the event. Anissa Rupert Ilie, from Juniper Village, talked about her work there in the Admissions Department. Brenda Dahlberg, who represented the Skilled Side of Juniper, said, “We’re happy to be here today to explain what we offer and to give out information.” Beth Whitman, director of Indigo Wren’s Nest in Bellefonte, was working right there in the school. She represented the Cooperative Wellness Facility at 111 S. Spring St. in Bellefonte, and was demonstrating a Reiki treatment on a person, while explaining the procedure to interested bystanders. At Indigo Wren’s Nest, there a holistic community of practitioners offer acupuncture, chiropractic care, herbal remedies, hypnosis and much more.

College Ave. in State College, has been a neighbor-to-neighbor service since 1968. Also set up at the fair was Sage Minder, a business that makes personalized wellness assistance calls. There are trained EMTs who will call to prompt your individual care routines, to check that you’ve taken your meds and more. Calls are individualized to each person’s needs. For elderly or disabled people, a family member can be emailed a summary of the call. If help is needed, those on a contact list will be notified. If there is no response to the call, Sage Minder will start emergency measures. This is a complementary service that can dovetail with medical alert pendants. In addition to the booths, there was fun

to be had. Batman and the Flash, portrayed by Penn State students Matthew Garawitz and Bryan Bonds, mingled with the crowd. Vendors gave out goodies to children, with CATA handing out paper buses. And, it wouldn’t be a proper event without food. Walking in the door at 10 a.m., the first sight was of three Rotary Club members setting up a refreshments table, with the aroma of pulled pork filling the air. Sponsors for the Super Fair included Centre County Government, Centre County Council of Human Services, Centre County Geriatric Interest Network, Centre County Affordable Housing Coalition, The Centre County Gazette, Centre Area Transportation Authority and Centre County Partnership for Community Health.

Paterno objects to NCAA’s wide-reaching subpoena request By ZACH BERGER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — The Paterno estate is continuing its battle with the NCAA in the Centre County Court of Common Pleas. This time, in the lawsuit filed by Jay Paterno, William Kenney and the Paterno estate against the NCAA, the plaintiffs are objecting to a subpoena from the intercollegiate athletics governing body. The lawsuit alleges defamation and interference with contractual relations by the NCAA, president Mark Emmert and former chairman Ed Ray that damaged the coaches’ reputations and made it “impossible” to secure employment in their profession as football coaches. The NCAA subpoena in dispute relates

to Blue Line 409 LLC, a business entity created by Paterno more than a year after the lawsuit against the NCAA was filed. The subpoena asks for almost all documents related to the company and its business ongoings, seemingly in an attempt to show that Paterno has been able to maintain a successful career despite the statements made by Emmert, Ray and the NCAA. But, attorneys for Paterno are arguing that the business venture is inconsequential to the legal matter being fought in the court. “Because Coach Jay Paterno was unable to return to coaching, he pursued other endeavors, including writing, consulting, real-estate activities, speaking engagements, and production of a craft beer,” the filing said. “ … None of this information has any bearing on Paterno’s claims

against the NCAA, but it is another means for the NCAA to exert financial pressure on Paterno and to continue to interfere with his ability to earn a livelihood.” The filing goes on to dispute the subpoena’s requests one by one. Relating to

the request for articles of incorporation, charters, bylaws,and so forth for Blue Line 409 LLC, Paterno responded that “it calls for production of documents that are not relevant to the claims or defenses in this action.”

Brown, from page 1 For Brown, the idea of helping people came to the forefront during Hurricane Agnes in 1972. “It was dark, cold and raining hard. My dad felt a sense of responsibility to the community. What struck me was his telling me that there were people who needed help. And that’s what we did all night, in the middle of the storm. We helped people get through it.” In addition to community service, Brown’s inner compass operates on a few simple ideals, all passed down from his parents. “‘Always drive on the high road,’ my dad would say. ‘Always tell the truth. Never steal. If you’ll steal a nickel, you’ll steal a million.’” Two men who served as mentors to Brown contributed significantly to shaping his career as a leader in the health care industry. “Bill Corley was my first mentor at Her-

shey Medical Center,” said Brown. “He gave me a chance. Knox Singleton hired me at my first hospital in 1984. They were my personal heroes, two guys who believed in me. I couldn’t let them down. They have guided me throughout my career. I often ask, ‘What would Bill or Knox do?’” He also learned from his first boss — his future wife, Mary, who was a physical therapist. He was her assistant. While his personal time is limited and precious, Brown does find time to enjoy reading a good mystery. “My favorite author is James Patterson. I like reading novels. I enjoy good stories. They get me thinking in a different direction. I bought all the ‘Columbo’ shows to see if I could figure out who committed the crime.” When it comes to music, Brown enjoys “real” country music as well as gentle, calm, music. “I like easy listening. Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra are favorites.” Brown, Page 7

Ferguson, from page 1 putting it at risk for a specific, very narrow deal, I think is a big mistake.” Cusumano said he would like the board to table the project until newly elected supervisors, who won the support of many residents for not endorsing the project, replace three incumbent supervisors. However, the board had already pushed the original date to review the final plan in June back six months, supervisor Steve Miller said. Other residents at the hearing suggested that the board consider rezoning the land back to its original rural agriculture designation. In 2004, the township approved a request from Penn State — the land’s owner — to rezone it as multifamily residential. Then in 2012, Penn State approved the sale of about 40 acres to Toll Brothers for $13.5 million for development. Supervisors did not consider reviewing the zoning at the meeting. Township solicitor Joseph Green told the supervisors that the scope of the board’s deciding power in reviewing the final plan was only to determine if the developer had met the “bindings and conditions” identified when the tentative plan was approved in March. “Our municipal codes and zoning ordinances are a contract that we have made that defines how we deal with public issues. If don’t follow that contract in this

NOVEMBER 19-25, 2015 instance, why would we be expected to follow it anytime?” Miller said. The stormwater management design has changed to meet the township and the water authority’s recommendations, Miller said. He also referred to the plan as the “better option,” stating that the zoning allows for a development denser than what Toll Brothers is proposing. “The plan you have is one of the cleanest plans that I have ever presented,” said John Sepp, the project engineer for the development from PennTerra Engineering. Some residents said they were concerned that supervisors would not consider rezoning or rejecting the plan for fear that Penn State would sue the township for loss of land value and that Toll Brothers would sue to recoup losses spent after the tentative plan passed. Miller said neither group has threatened a lawsuit. However, township resident Kelli Hoover said, “The added expenses would cost us more than any hypothetical lawsuit.” Developing the Whitehall parcel, which is outside the Council of Government's recommended growth boundary, would force residents to pay higher sewer service rates and extra park maintenance expenses, as well as have to pay for water bottles if water contamination occurs, Hoover said. “The citizens are worried that they have no recourse,” said supervisor-elect Peter Buckland, who said the board elect will preserve ecological integrity and the growth boundary. “The corporate trust has been held through the rules that are rigged for the developer … and our voices — they just fall dead.” However, Hoover said that the proposal does not follow the Centre Region Comprehensive Plan and is a basis for a lawsuit if it passes.

NOVEMBER 19-25, 2015 Plunge, from page 1 groups for the event. “Little Dippers” must be between 8 and 12 years old and raise a minimum of $25 to participate. Student plungers must be between the ages of 13 and 22 years old and also raise a minium of $25. Adult plungers must be at least 23 years old and raise a minimum of $75. Toukonen is hopeful that the event will raise funds for the YMCA’s Open Doors Program and the Backpack Program. “We have a goal of $60,000,” she said. “It’s a lofty goal for us, but we are well on our way. The big thing we need right now is plungers, people who are willing to jump into the cold water for a great cause.” The Open Doors Program enables the YMCA of Centre County to turn no one away for their inability to pay for a membership. The YMCA of Centre County started the Backpack Program in 2014 to battle childhood hunger. The program began in the Philipsburg-Osceola School District. There, students were given a backpack filled with food to eat over the weekend.

Brown, from page 6 While much of his time is taken up by his duties as president and CEO, Brown loves to spend time with his family. “My grandchildren are important to me. They make me smile,” he said. “I like to go antiquing with my wife, Mary. We also like to go for drives. My mom and dad used to do that after Sunday dinner.” Now, he and Mary travel what they call “The Loop,” taking Route 192 to Millheim, over the mountain and home. One of his guilty pleasures? Reality TV. “I really like reality shows, like ‘The Great Race.’ I get to travel vicariously.” He also enjoys standard fare like “Hawaii Five-O”

THE CENTRE COUNTY GAZETTE During the 2015-16 school year, the Backpack Program expanded to include West Branch, Moshannon Valley, Bellefonte, Bald Eagle Area and Penns Valley, in addition to P-O. “We pack over 500 backpacks on Thursday night and they are filled with food for children who need food for the weekend. It’s a great program. We’re really taking a stand on anti-hunger and getting some much-needed help to these kids,” Toukonen said. Students are also encouraged to show their school pride with the Polar Bear Plunge’s “Cool School Challenge.” The challenge is designed exclusively for schools participating in the plunge. Teams will have an opportunity to earn money for their own school. Each Cool School team that raises $2,500 or more will see 15 percent of the money they raise go to their school. However, in order to qualify for the donation back, 50 percent of the team must be students, administrators or teachers at the school. According to Toukonen, planning the event began several months ago. “It always comes up really fast on us,” she said. “We began planning for this in June.” There’s still time to register for the Polar Bear Plunge. Online registration can be done at www.ymcaofcentrecounty.org or simply pick up a packet at any YMCA of Centre County branch. and “Blue Bloods.” One thing he does not do — nor miss — is golf. “I gave it up,” he joked. Either that, or it gave him up. Leaders with great vision, who understand strategic planning and the need for teamwork, often have concerns about, and hopes for, the future. “I worry that we’re not teaching our children the values that we were taught,” he said. “We don’t celebrate what makes America great. No one is allowed to fail. And phones are taking away our children’s future ability to communicate. I also worry about world terrorism. Terribly worried about the bad guys.

As for the alleged financial incentives for victims to testify at trial, Lindsay had a stronger argument because of the fact that some victims testified under oath that they had signed agreements with lawyers, although it was not specifically stated that there were agreements related to settlement money. Even so, Lindsay is not burdened with proving that those documents exist. While Cleland did not go so far as to

MORE THAN 1,000 students gather in front of Old Main for the vigil honoring victims of international violence. The event’s creator said he was not expecting more than a couple hundred in attendance. Vigil, from page 1 Turkish Student Association, Ugar Pakoz, also spoke to the crowd. Behind them, Old Main was lit with the colors of the French flag. “Whatever country, culture, religion or race we come from, we are all humans,” Pakoz said. Penn State freshman Robin Moussa attended the vigil with her two friends. She said she feels a close connection with the victims of the attacks because her dad is Lebanese and grew up in Beirut. “(The vigil) has been really powerful,” she said. “It’s good to see so many people

embracing the peaceful side of fighting against terrorism and embracing life rather than hatred.” The Statesmen and The Pennharmonics each sang a song following the keynote speeches. Then, an open forum kicked-off where anyone at the vigil could approach the microphone and share a few positive words. The vigil ended with another moment of silence and the singing of the alma mater. On Nov. 13, Penn State reported on its Twitter account that all Penn State students in France were safe. Global Programs made contact with two students in Paris and six in other cities.

U.S. actually does need more welders By Bloomberg News Service Marco Rubio has done America a great service by offending its chin-scratchers and navel-gazers. “Welders make more money than philosophers,” the senator declared at the recent Republican debate. “We need more welders and less philosophers.” Fact-checkers pointed to the data showing that philosophy professors earn more than welders. But it’s hard to find work as a philosophy professor, and, in any event, Rubio’s essential point is correct: Many jobs for skilled tradespeople pay more than those requiring academic credentials. There just aren’t enough qualified workers to fill them. Rather than give this shortage the attention it deserves, presidential candidates in both parties have focused on reducing — or in Sen. Bernie Sanders’s case, eliminating — the cost of college and its debt burdens. But what about people who don’t want to go to college? Many skills that are essential to a high-performing economy — and that garner middle-class wages — aren’t taught in college. Welding is just one example. Carpenters, electricians, ironworkers, machinists, masons, mechanics, steamfitters, plasterers, plumbers, technicians of every kind, and many other skilled tradespeople earn incomes that often exceed those for white-collar jobs. An 18-year old who spends four years as an apprentice plumber might earn $100,000 or more during that span, and avoid paying as much for college. After the apprenticeship, a young plumber can make $50,000 a year, with the prospect of steady income growth: Master plumbers can earn $100,000 to $200,000. The typical college graduate makes about $60,000 at the peak of his or her career, and is likely to pay about $3,000 a year in loans. And of course, many young people who start college, especially community college, never finish. Too often, high school students are unaware of these facts and uninformed about training programs in the trades. The shortage of welders alone is expected to be nearly 300,000 by 2020. To fill this need and improve the prospects of millions of young people, guidance counselors and teachers need to shift their thinking about the skilled trades. Rubio hasn’t detailed how he would go about expanding vocational training and, unfortunately for voters, the debate moderators didn’t ask. Next time, they should — and not just of Rubio.

Here’s a question that I pose occasionally to the college freshmen in my writing classes: Which is more interesting, television or conversation with other human beings? They nearly always answer that conversation is more interesting. They may believe that it should be. Or that it actually is. Or they may believe that I wish them to affirm some oldfashioned value to which they imagine that I cling. But I’m less interested in what should be more interesting than what really is. And, let’s face it, some of the most creative and innovative minds in our culture, as well as a great deal of money and energy, are focused on making television irresistible. And largely they succeed, which explains why several sources report that at least two-thirds of American families always have the TV on during dinner. But, really, the question at the top of this column is itself old-fashioned. TV is only one of a slew of electronic distractions — games, videos, photos, movies, texting — that find their most intense focus and access in the devices in the pockets and purses of virtually every American college student. How can mere conversation compete with such an attraction?

Thus, before class, my students are more likely to text or play videogames than talk to me or to their classmates, and the urge to consult their cellphones during class is almost irresistible. Some professors have become more or less resigned to the presence of cellphones in their classes; others, not so much. Search for “professors smashing cellphones” on YouTube for some eye-opening displays of what the loss of patience looks like. But others have looked for more peaceful solutions. Last week a National Public Radio education website reported on an astronomy professor at the University of Colorado Boulder, who gives his students extra “participation points” for turning off their cellphones and leaving them on his desk. But Larry Rosen, a research psychologist at California State University who studies smartphone use among college students, says in the same report that he doesn’t think rewarding students to turn off their cellphones in class is a good approach. Using the language of addiction, he says that most college students are “heavy users” and that his experiments show that their heart rates and other vital signs actually spike when they can’t use their phones, in response to increased anxiety and distraction. In his classes Rosen calls a “tech

ums and coffee shops. After 9/11 and after the Boston Marathon bombings, we came together in outrage to demand action but quickly thereafter resume the in-fighting between political parties, races, genders and ideological viewpoints. While we argue among ourselves about police brutality, health care, freedom of expression on our campuses, and which candidate may or may not have embellished his or her resume, a group of highly motivated terrorists who hate us is building strength and numbers. We saw them in Beirut and in France this weekend. We know they are here in the United States just waiting to show us just how motivated they are — again. People are who motivated to the point that they are willing to sacrifice their own lives because of their hate for our way of life are not going to be brought down with political speeches. We also know that a bunch of ragtag extremists could not be building the numbers and the weapon power that they have without funding from somewhere. We need to find out who is funding them and stop those people as well. My children and my yet-to-beborn grandchildren serve to motivate me to get involved to protect their futures. It isn’t rhetoric to say that our way of life, just like that of our friends in France, is at risk if we don’t get motivated. Our country needs to fight this war as a team that wants to win. It can’t just be about sending young men and women into harm’s way. It has to be about protecting our borders, making wise decisions about those with whom we do business and freeing up resources to support the efforts against those who hate us. The team that is most motivated is eventually going to win.

break” every 15 minutes and gives his students a minute to check their phones. He says that, over time, he can increase the interval to half an hour, but a full hour without checking the phone would be “too anxiety.” It’s an interesting passage that we’ve reached as a culture, and college professors are trying to navigate the middle course between indignant cellphone smashing and resigned acquiescence. For some this has more to do with focus and attention, the habits that, they believe, enhance their students’ ability to learn. A student who is texting can’t possibly be very engaged with what’s going on in class, they contend, quite plausibly. For other professors, it’s probably more a matter of respect and decorum. Nobody likes to take second place to whatever is happening on the cellphone, no matter how interesting, valuable, entertaining or excruciatingly irresistible. The professoriate hasn’t figured out what, if anything, to do about this. One response should probably not be undue sanctimony. The ability to concentrate without distraction for an hour or so is in trouble everywhere. If you doubt it, glance around at your next faculty meeting. Your colleagues will be on their cellphones, probably in about the same proportion as your students are.

HEALTH & WELLNESS Electronic cigarette use rising among teenagers he said. “It’s not as simple as assuming that every teen who has tried an e-cigarette is going to end up becoming addicted.” On the other hand, although many adults use e-cigs as a less harmful alternative to regular cigarettes or as a vehicle to help them quit their tobacco habit, Foulds said adolescents should not be using them for that reason. “Most young people who smoke are not yet as addicted to nicotine as adults. They have to go to school and so they usually don’t yet have the time or money to smoke heavily,” he said. “Most should be encouraged and supported to quit smoking without any pharmacological aid and if that is unsuccessful, their doctor may recommend an approved smoking cessation medicine. Electronic cigarettes have not yet been shown to be safe and effective smoking cessation aids and so should not be recommended to kids.” While the lack of solid data makes it hard to put policies and regulations in place for the devices, there are some things most people agree on, Foulds said. “E-cigs should not be sold to people younger than those who can buy regular cigarettes,” he said. “And the liquid should be sold in leak-proof and child-proof containers.” He also said most people believe marketing of e-cigs to minors and sale of flavors such as cotton candy should be curbed. “Adults like flavors, too, but we believe some flavors and marketing can be more attractive to kids and that is inappropriate,” he said. Foulds would like to see Pennsylvania pass an age-ofsale law making it illegal to sell e-cigarettes and paraphernalia to individuals younger than 18 and require identification upon purchase.

HERSHEY — Use of electronic cigarettes — or e-cigs, for short — has increased among adolescents, but the jury is still out on how many young people are becoming addicted, and how harmful they are for both young people and adults, relative to cigarettes. Jonathan Foulds, professor of public health sciences at Penn State College of Medicine, says use of e-cigs among young people is escalating — as public health professionals continue to explore how dangerous it is. “Thirteen percent of American high school students have tried an e-cig in the past 30 days, but the proportion using them most days is quite small,” Foulds said. “Of those who’ve tried an e-cig in the past month, 45 percent only used it on one or two days in the month and only 16 percent used on 20 or more out of the past 30 days. This means that around 2 percent of high school students are daily e-cig users.” On one hand, current opinion is that e-cigs do much less damage than smoked cigarettes, the use of which has decreased to about 9 percent among adolescents, according to recent studies. However, that does not mean e-cigs are harmless. The nicotine itself is harmful to the unborn fetus when absorbed during pregnancy, and a recent study in Hong Kong found an association between adolescent e-cig use and respiratory symptoms. Although the nicotine can still create or feed an addiction, there is great variability in the types and use of ecigarettes. Foulds said among adolescents who use e-cigs, some studies have found that more than 40 percent say they use e-cig liquid that does not contain nicotine. “Many say they just tried it once or twice to see what it was like,”

Sitting is as lethal as smoking, linked to chronic diseases “Sitting here at this desk all day is killing me!” Have you ever had that thought? According to Dr. James Levine, of the Mayo Clinic-Arizona State University Obesity Solutions Initiative, you may have been more right than you realized. In an article published in the medical journal Physiology, “Lethal Sitting: Homo Sedentarius Seeks Answers,” Levine describes chronic sitting as lethal and linked to as many as 34 chronic Dr. Bradley S. Kulig diseases and condiis on staff at Nittany tions including obesity Valley Chiropractic and metabolic, cardioand Wellness vascular, joint, sleep Center.

BRADLEY KULIG

for the comparison that “sitting is the new smoking.” Think about how much of your day is spent sitting at your desk, in your car, at your dinner table, in your computer chair, on your sofa and so on. As a chiropractor, I see the effects of this societal shift to sedentarism walk through the clinic door every day. I would feel comfortable saying that the majority of complaints treated in my office are a direct consequence of a sedentary lifestyle, which includes prolonged static postures due to occupational and/or educational obligations. (That’s you, students.) From a purely musculoskeletal and mechanical standpoint, there are entire dysfunctional postural syndromes attributed to chronic sitting and sedentarism. Have you ever heard of upper crossed syndrome? This is a condition where, due to prolonged static postures such as chronic sitting, you develop adaptive shortening and lengthening of the muscles of your upper body. Upper crossed syndrome is characterized by a forward head carriage, rounded and forward drawn

shoulders, weak deep neck flexors, and short tight pectoral, sternocleidomastoid and sub-occipital musculature. Basically, a slumped-forward head, neck, shoulders, and hunched upper back. The result is upper back and neck pain, headaches, and cervical intervertebral disc degeneration. More appropriately, this should be called “I Sit at a Desk and Work at a Computer for 10 Hours a Day” syndrome or, for you students out there, “Cramming for Midterms” syndrome. It was paradoxical studying these syndromes at chiropractic college while sitting in lectures nearly eight hours a day, only to spend the rest of the night cramming for the myriad quizzes and tests to follow the next day. But, I digress. This example of upper crossed syndrome only addresses a single dysfunctional posture syndrome, as there are more. And, remember, there are metabolic, cardiovascular, orthopedic, sleep and psychological dysfunctions, and obesity, that are consequences of chronic sitting. Levine attributes our chronic sitting to societal and technological changes over

the last 200 years, starting with the Industrial Revolution. Presently, it seems technology has been forcing us into our seats and poor health not only for work and study, but also for pleasure and entertainment — television, movies, gaming, golf carts. That’s right, golfers, it’s only exercise if you’re walking the course. Having learned how detrimental prolonged static postures are to our health, the only logical thing for us to do is quit our jobs and revert to a life of hunting, gathering and primitive agricultural activity. For those who don’t view this as a practical option, chiropractic manipulation to the upper thoracic and cervical spine, in combination with behavioral modification in posture and ergonomics and corrective exercises, can help to mitigate the detrimental effects of the sitting epidemic. Movement is life, so maximize both by getting out of your seat every chance you get. To read Levine’s article, visit www.ncbi. nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25180258.

Class gets real-world training

BOALSBURG — The horticulture landscape construction class at CPI has been getting hands-on experience at Bricks and Stones Supply in Boalsburg. Instructor Joe Luther took the students to Bricks and Stones Supply during class time for almost two weeks. Students laid brick walkways and constructed stone walls. “It is great experience in a real-world environment,” said Penns Valley High School student Derek Rishel.

Luther agreed. “The students get to build like they’re going to in the field, instead of at the shop where we build on concrete and tear it down.” Luther expressed his thanks to the company for allowing his students the opportunity. Byron Singer, of Bricks and Stones Supply, was very impressed with the students work. “They were very organized and they all had a job to do,” Singer said.

PENN STATE student Melissa McCleery was one of several students honored last year for her work in helping to prevent sexual violence.

Nominees sought for the 2016 Stand Up awards UNIVERSITY PARK — The Rock Ethics Institute at Penn State has announced a call for nominations for its ninth annual Stand Up Awards, in recognition of undergraduate students at the university’s campuses who have demonstrated ethical leadership in taking a stand for a person, cause or belief. The goal of the award is to recognize courageous individuals and to inform the entire Penn State community about how often an extraordinary act is possible in ordinary circumstances. In spring 2015, Melissa McCleery, Carolyn McDonald and Parker Werns were honored, respectively, for their work in helping to prevent sexual violence, poverty, and discrimination against the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. These student leaders faced difficult challenges, social pressures and conflicting claims concerning what to do. But, through their

courage and determination to make the world a better place, they stood up for their beliefs. These individuals are part of a growing group of Penn State Stand Up Award recipients who meet the challenge, stand up and make a difference in the world. Any faculty, staff, student or community member worldwide may nominate a Penn State undergraduate student from any commonwealth campus who has demonstrated ethical leadership for initiatives both large and small. Selected honorees will receive a monetary award of $1,000 each, be recognized at a spring 2016 ceremony and in a short video, and highlighted in traditional and digital publicity throughout the university. To view the profiles of previous Stand Up honorees, visit www.standuppsu.com. The deadline for nominations is Friday, Jan. 29.

Elk Creek Cafe hosts annual folk music festival By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

MILLHEIM — The Elk Creek Cafe & Aleworks in Millheim was the site of the eighth annual Harry Smith Folk Music Festival, held Nov. 15. Several musical acts performed songs from Smith’s “Anthology of American Folk Music.” Smith, who died in 1991, was an archivist, musicologist, film maker, artist, mystic and collector of 78 rpm records. He worked with Smithsonian Records in 1952 to edit and produce the “Anthology of American Folk Music,” a multi-volume work of more than 100 recordings that revived many blues, string band and Cajun recordings made between 1927 and 1933. The release of the set represented the first time American folk and traditional music had appeared in an anthology release. Over time, the recordings Smith selected have been highly influential in American music, and some would claim they single-handedly jump-started the folk music revival of the 1950s and ’60s. They have shaped the music of performers and artists such as Bob Dylan, the Grateful Dead, Elvis Costello and others. The songs were a blend of feelings of desperation during the Great Depression, and high hopes for a better future. The festival at Elk Creek featured several acts playing to a standing-room-only crowd. Miss

MISS ROSIE was the opening act during the eighth annual Harry Smith Folk Music Festival in Millheim. Rosie, Skip Bosco, the Gnarled Knuckle String Band, Chris Rattie and the Brush Mountain Rumblers, the Allegheny Bilge Rats Shanty Choir, Chicken Tractor

Deluxe and special guest band, Freakwater, entertained an enthusiastic crowd for several hours. Freakwater was formed in the

1980s by singer-songwriters and guitarists Catherine Ann Irwin and Janet Beveridge Bean. Both women got their start in punk bands, the influence of which can

be heard in Freakwater’s music. Festival organizer Kai Shafft is a longtime fan of Freakwater, and had invited them to perform in Millheim years ago, but they were unable to make an appearance until this year. The band — which will release its new album, “Scheherazade,” in February — has been critically described as “nearly flawlessly capturing both the sound and mood of the traditional folk/country music genre.” Proceeds from the folk music festival benefit the Penns Valley HOPE Fund, which helps people in the Penns Valley area facing major medical crises or personal disasters. HOPE Fund board chairman Dan Gensimore addressed the festival crowd, thanking the Elk Creek Café, the performers and the audience for their support and recognizing festival organizer Shafft. Gensimore noted that the HOPE Fund is a 100 percent volunteer organization, and has dispersed more than $350,000 to families in the Penns Valley area since its inception in 2008. The capacity crowd of bluegrass and folk music fans at the Elk Creek Café conveyed their thanks to all the performers with plenty of cheers and applause for the excellent performances presented. The Harry Smith Folk Music Festival has grown to major event status on the folk music scene, and has become an attraction for people from Pennsylvania and several nearby states each November.

Castellano family establishes award in son’s memory By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — On June 12, 17-yearold Nick Castellano was involved in a serious automobile accident. He lost his life several days later. This fall, he would have been a senior at Penns Valley High School and in the automotive collision repair program at the Central Pennsylvania Institute of Science and Technology in Pleasant Gap. Following his death, Nick’s parents, Tony and Michelle Castellano, of Centre Hall, wanted to establish a student award in his memory. On Nov. 10, the Castellanos presented two checks, totaling $8,117, derived from donations to the family following Nick’s death, to the Penns Valley Education Foundation. The exact criteria of the awards have not yet been determined, but Michelle Castellano said she and her husband want to have two awards, one for a Penns Valley senior and one for a CPI senior. “That (CPI) was Nick’s first love, so we wanted to make

sure that somehow an award reflected that as well,” she said. She also said they chose award instead of scholarship because scholarships must be used for further education. “That wasn’t Nicolas,” she said. “We wanted it to reflect who he was. He was more of a humanitarian — the unsung person in the background who helped others, whether they were friends or not. We want it to go to somebody who is recognized for being that kind of person.” “I think what’s going to be important is that we capture what it is that Nick was, so people know the intent of the award, and to have a little bit of a background story about Nick to let that part of him live on,” said Tony Castellano. The awards must be approved by Penns Valley and CPI school boards, a process the PVEF hopes to have completed early in 2016. Donations for the awards should be given to the PVEF. For more information, contact Carolyn Foust at foustcountry@verizon.net or (814) 364-2468.

Veterans Monument adds new stones, new names By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

REBERSBURG — The Rebersburg Veterans Monument received an upgrade Nov. 10 when two vertical standing stones were added. The new slabs flank the three original 800-pound granite stones, upon which more than 400 names of Miles Township military veterans who served from the American Revolution to now are engraved. The monument, located in the Lutheran and Reformed Cemetery across from the Rebersburg Elementary School, was dedicated on July 5, 2009, as part of the Rebersburg Bicentennial celebration. The Miles Township Bicentennial Monument History Committee promised an upgrade to the monument within a year, and 40 more veterans’ names were added in 2010. “We promised more additions or corrections within five years after that,” said Vonnie Henninger, a member of the Miles Township Citizens Committee, which re-

placed the original bicentennial committee. “As far as we’re concerned, it’s finished.” The Lewistown Monument Company fabricated the two additional stones, which their employees and several local volunteers installed on top of the monument’s base. One stone is engraved with 16 local veterans’ names, and the other is blank, providing space for additional names. “Some are recent veterans, and some are ones we missed,” said Henninger. “I never dreamed we’d be adding more stones already, but we had a lot of names we needed to add. “We’re happy with it; it has worked out well,” she added. “People have been coming forth and telling us they’re happy to have their relatives’ names on it.” Henninger said the Miles Township supervisors will take over the task of maintaining the monument. Future plans for the monument include replacing the overgrown shrubbery behind the stone wall.

Creamery introduces ice cream ordering on e-commerce site UNIVERSITY PARK — For most of the Penn State Berkey Creamery’s history, customer orders likely were placed by spoken word or by pen and paper, and local deliveries came via horse-drawn wagon and later milk truck. But as the iconic dairy plant celebrates its 150th anniversary this year, its geographically dispersed fans now have an ordering tool and fulfillment system befitting a contemporary, 21st-century retail operation. A newly launched website (www. creamery.psu.edu), powered by a sophisticated e-commerce platform, allows customers to have the taste of Penn State delivered to their door. The new site gives creamery enthusiasts access to a range of products — including, of course, worldfamous Berkey Creamery ice cream — and various shipping options, according to manager Tom Palchak. “The new site gives Penn Staters anywhere in the country an opportunity to enjoy the creamery products they love but perhaps haven’t been able to get because they don’t live in the area,” Palchak said. “It really takes our customer service to a new level.” Although the creamery previously had a more rudimentary online ordering system, the new site offers several previously unavailable features, Palchak noted, so customers can: ■ Create accounts that enable them to save their information, reorder easily, check order status and provide user reviews of products. ■ See what ice cream flavors and other products are in stock and get email alerts as products become available. ■ Sign up for email updates, including

new flavor notifications and other news. ■ Create their own ice cream coolers, cheeses boxes and coffee boxes. ■ Get real-time quotes for affordable shipping and have orders shipped to multiple locations with just one payment. “We deliver anywhere in the continental United States, with ground shipping available to most of the East Coast, so shipping is more affordable than ever before,” Palchak said. Penn State President Eric Barron was the recipient of the first order processed in the new e-commerce system. The Penn State Ag Council, an industry advisory group for the College of Agricultural Sciences, placed the order, which was delivered to Old Main in person by Palchak and Ag Council President Wayne Martenas. Barron accepted the delivery of four half gallons of his favorite bittersweet mint ice cream, along with a proclamation that recognized the creamery’s 150th anniversary, expressed appreciation for Barron’s support of the College of Agricultural Sciences and praised his engagement with the Ag Council and Pennsylvania agriculture. Palchak pointed out that in addition to ordering food products, customers can purchase gift and souvenir items — such as mugs, hats and collectibles — on the website. Visitors to the site also can learn about the creamery’s history, the ice cream production process, the Department of Food Science and the renowned Penn State Ice Cream Short Course. Palchak explained that the creamery first began shipping products when the

Shortly thereafter, ice cream — kept frozen by dry ice — was shipped to customers who called in their orders. The first online orders began in the 2000s. “Online sales have amounted to less

than 1 percent of our total sales,” Palchak said. “But I would expect that percentage to grow significantly as people realize how easy it is to order their favorite ice cream through this new website. It’s a great way for creamery enthusiasts to enjoy our products and add a little bit of Penn State to their tables and family events.”

Trinity Lutheran Church celebrates 50 years By CONNIE COUSINS correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — On Nov. 15, Trinity Lutheran Church in State College celebrated its 50th anniversary by recreating its first service. The Rev. Ronald C. Miller Jr., pastor of Trinity, and the Rev. Michael Rhyne, bishop of the Allegheny Synod, shared the pulpit while following the original bulletin from 1965. Joyful Voices, directed by Donna Weller, Geron Davis and Marty Parks, opened with a lovely arrangement of “Holy Ground.” James Rearick provided the beautiful organ music that filled the sanctuary with jubilant chords and runs. A new banner in the narthex, made by Karen Aubuchon, celebrated the anniversary. Books commemorating Trinity’s 50 years were available for all in attendance. The books were filled with pictures and descriptions of the early church, as well as essays from various groups within the church, including Bible studies, the quilt group, Trinity Wheelmen, the annual yard sale commitee and others. Sue Mayer, in her writing, said, “Trinity has prided itself by providing Sunday School to its members for preschool through adult classes. As the class sizes have changed, the offerings and the types of classes have evolved over the 50 years. Vacation Bible School has been held most summers over the 50 years.” Many know Trinity Lutheran, located at 2221 N. Oak Lane, as the church with two steeples and an unusual shape. The first sanctuary, built four years after the first service in 1969, was a small hexagonal-shaped structure topped with a simple cross, adjoined to a Sunday school building. Both were designed by a well-known central Pennsylvania architect Jack Risheberger. By 1994, new classrooms, office space and a new hexagonal-shaped sanctuary were added. The original sanctuary became the fellowship hall, but

Also pictured with the cheerleaders are Leading Knight Debbie Shelow, right, and chaplain Jack Zimmerman, center back.

Ed Frye, 70, of Mechanicsburg, never saw himself as much of a novelist, but always considered himself a Penn Stater. Frye received his doctorate at Penn State in education and psychology linguistics. During a recent interview, he spoke of Penn State fondly, spiraling into memory after memory. Frye and Sue Paterno are great friends, and his wife is close with the Paterno children. “My family knew everyone and I knew everyone professionally,” he continued. “Penn State is my home.” Frye began his writing career by constructing articles for professional journals in the school of administration, until he eventually had dozens. He moved on to doing speeches and traveling the country, until he had made speeches in 36 states. “After 15 or so professional articles, I needed to tell the stories of my childhood, then I had a novel, ‘Fools and Children,’” he said. “I had so much fun with it. Baby boomers loved it because they thought it was relatable.” “Fools and Children” features stories of his early years. He loved writing about his past and having other people enjoy hearing the stories he wanted to share. “Those were the golden years. You got up with friends, and didn’t come back until dinnertime. All parents worried about were if we were bothering someone else. Kids made their own way,” he reminisced. “My mother always said, ‘God takes care

of fools and children,’ and that’s how I got the title.” Eventually, Frye’s career in speeches led him to Oregon, where the inspiration of his second novel, “Ticket to Oregon,” stemmed from. “I ended up in a bar in Oregon and the story just started falling out of me. I never wrote anything with less of a plan.” The story is about a fictional town named Cordell, and mirrors the story of the family that owned the bar he had visited. “I don’t need the money or the reputation. ‘Ticket to Oregon’ was the best thing I have ever written,” he said. “It’s compelling intertwined stories across three generations. I am very proud of ‘Ticket to Oregon.’” When asked if he had any advice for young writers who aspire to be novelists, Frye had much to say, including, “Writing is not for the meek.” He explained that his wife never wanted him to write a book, yet alone a second book. “You’re headed for a life of misery if you want to be a writer. Write, and accept rejection. “You’re writing for an audience you hope to get to. There is no editor saying, ‘Have the article by four tomorrow.’ You don’t know if anyone in the world will be interested. Without personal drive, you will be unsuccessful. Your goal needs to be specified.” For more information about Frye’s novels, visit www.fryedock.com

Boalsburg ready to celebrate the season By SAMANTHA BASTRESS correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

BOALSBURG — For more than 20 years, the Boalsburg community has celebrated its rich history and unique attractions with an annual Christmas celebration. This year, the festivities will begin Friday, Dec. 4, with A Taste of Boalsburg, a showcase of local food and drink held from 7 to 9 p.m. Those who make reservations for the event, which is being held at the Traditions of America at Liberty Hill Clubhouse, will be able to try a wide variety of Centre County cuisine, including craft beers and ciders. There will also be live jazz music performed by the local Rick Hirsch Trio. The following morning, the Boalsburg Hometown Christmas celebration will begin with a breakfast with Santa and Mrs. Claus from 8:30 to 11 a.m. at the Boalsburg Fire Hall. The breakfast is sponsored by Duffy’s Tavern, a village

restaurant that has been in business since the early 1800s. Throughout the hall, the entries for the annual children’s drawing contest will be hung for display. The contest, which is held for students in kindergarten through fifth grade, has garnered more than a hundred entries in years past. There will also be a holiday cookie contest, for which the public is welcome and encouraged to make entries. The cookies will be judged, and the batches will be separated into holiday cookie trays to be sold during the day’s festivities. Proceeds from the sales will go to the Boalsburg Heritage Museum, and the winners will be announced during the breakfast with Santa and Mrs. Claus.

BOALSBURG WILL BE filled with shoppers during its hometown Christmas celebration, which will be held Dec. 4 and Dec. 5.

Several holiday gift baskets will also be raffled off. “We have two categories,” explained Chris Igo, one of the organizers of the event. “One is Best of Boalsburg, and those would be merchants within the Boalsburg proper. And we also have one called Friends of Boalsburg, because there are a lot of surrounding businesses like Tait Farm, some in Hills Plaza, and some in the Spring Mills area that like to donate to the cause.” Registration for the raffle will be available throughout the day at all of Boalsburg’s Main Street shops. The afternoon will be filled with activities for kids, including a children’s sing-along and Christmas crafts with Girl Scout Troop 1152. Before the tree lighting ceremony, there will be caroling and hot chocolate provided by the Boalsburg Lions Club. The lighting of the tree will be held at 5:30 p.m., with Santa and Mrs. Claus arriving on a fire truck. After the tree has been lit, the winners for each age category of the children’s drawing contest will be announced. The winners of the gift basket raffle also will be announced at the tree lighting ceremony. The evening will conclude with the Boalsburg Holiday Hop, a dance for all ages at the Boalsburg Fire Hall.

MICHIGAN VS. PENN STATE ■ TIME: NOON

MARQUEE

PSU set to face off with No. 14 Michigan on Senior Day By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State’s lastsecond 23-21 setback at Northwestern on Nov. 7 was the kind of loss that would test the resolve of any football team, much less one at such a pivotal point in its season as was Penn State. The Nittany Lions had their opportunities. After an exceptionally slow start, and a subsequent 13-point deficit, the Lions began to put it together when freshman Saquon Barkley scored after a nine-play, 78-yard march to cut the Wildcats’ lead to 13-7. With a defensive stop, PSU had an opportunity to be right there, just six down at halftime, despite its inability to move the ball for the first 21 minutes of the game. But instead, Northwestern’s Solomon Vault returned the kickoff 96 yards, and Penn State was back to being 13 down. Still, the Nittany Lions persisted, and two second-half touchdowns gave them a one-point lead in the initial stages of the fourth quarter. DaeSean Hamilton scored the first on a remarkable 32-yard, halfback pass from Geno Lewis, and then Barkley put Penn State ahead for the first time after a 13-yard run. Neither team threatened immediately after Barkley’s run, and then with time running out, Northwestern was forced to punt from midfield and it was a good one. The Wildcats pinned the Lions back on their own 4 with just over four minutes to play. Two running plays gained 8 yards, and on third-and-2 the Lions had a chance, with a first down, to run the clock down to less than a minute — if not out altogether. But Barkley was stopped short, Penn State punted and Northwestern maneuvered its way close enough for Jack Mitchell’s 35yard game winner. Penn State coach James Franklin probably said it best after the game. “We started out slow, especially on the offensive side of the ball,” he said. “They were able to run the ball on us consistently, really all day long. It’s hard to give up a

kickoff return for a touchdown and be successful. “Basically at the end we had opportunity forming an offense, forming a defense; missed opportunities. Missed opportunities to break tackles and make people miss for first downs. Opportunities for interceptions, just opportunities across the board.” Fortunately, Penn State has had a week off to rest, recover and digest the events from the game in Evanston, Ill. And also to prepare for its next opponent — 8-2 and 15thranked Michigan. T h e Wolverines are coming to Beaver Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 21, and by all accounts, they are back. New head coach Jim Harbaugh has reinvigorated Michigan, and the Blue and Maize come into the Penn State game 5-1 in the conference and still very much in the hunt for the Big Ten East title. After a season-opening loss at Utah, Michigan has won eight of its last nine games. The only loss came at the hands of Michigan State, 27-23, on an incredible fumble-6 with no time left on the clock. During one stretch in this season, Michigan allowed a total of 14 points over five games, including shutouts against BYU

MATCHUP (31-0), Maryland (28-0) and Northwestern (38-0). Since the MSU game, the Wolverines have won three straight against Minnesota, Rutgers and Indiana (48-41, double overtime). Michigan graduate-student quarterback Jake Rudock and wide receiver Jehu Chessen shared the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week award for their play against Indiana. Rudock threw for 440 yards and six touchdowns against the Hoosiers, including four touchdowns to Chessen and two in overtime that finally put IU away. Chessen had the four touchdowns plus six other catches for a total of 207 yards for the night, while receiver Amara Darboh added another 109 yards receiving and a touchdown on eight catches. Chessen saved the day for Michigan against IU when he caught a fourth-down, 6-yard touchdown pass from Rudock that tied the game with two seconds left to play. For the season, Rudock is 185-288 for 2,220 yards and 14 touchdowns. He’s also run 45 times for 212 yards and four scores, while De’Veon Smith is the leading rusher on the team with 604 yards and five touchdowns on 132 carries. Darboh (567 yards), Jake Butt (500), Chessen (466) and Smith (113) are the leading receivers on the team. It is with its defense, however, that Michigan has been able to turn itself around. The Wolverines give up an average of just 14.8 points per game and 268 total yards per game. They allow only 103 yards rushing and have 25 sacks for 198 yards in losses. Their front seven has been a challenge for every team they have faced this season. Michigan is now tied with Michigan State at 5-1 for second place in the Big Ten East, with Ohio State leading the division with a 6-0 record. The Wolverines have Penn State and Ohio State left to play, and a sweep of those two games would put them in a tie for the division championship. So if this is a big game for Penn State on Senior Day — which it certainly is — the same is equally true for Michigan. Kickoff is set for noon at Beaver Stadium. MATT MARTON/AP Photo

PENN STATE senior Anthony Zettel will play his final game at Beaver Stadium on Nov. 21 against the No. 14 Michigan Wolverines.

Crop of Nittany Lions’ standouts may be preparing for jump to pros By MARLEY PAUL StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — As Penn State’s football season slowly dwindles to an end, the Nittany Lions (7-3, 4-2 Big Ten) currently sit fourth in the Big Ten East division, with thirdplace Michigan and second-place Michigan State left on the schedule. Those two games, plus a bowl game, will be the final collegiate games for several key players, including defensive linemen Anthony Zettel and Carl Nassib and safety Jordan Lucas. All three players will likely hear their name called during the 2016 NFL draft, scheduled for Thursday, April 28, through Saturday, April 30, in Chicago. A few other Nittany Lions are eligible to join the party, too, as Penn State has a few underclassmen who can easily make the jump from Saturdays to Sundays. Last year, offensive lineman Donovan Smith opted to forego his senior season and became the 34th pick in the 2015 draft. Smith was among many Penn State football alumni to criticize the program following coach James Franklin’s opening season 27-10 loss at Temple. “This exact reason,” Smith tweeted, when asked why he chose to leave Penn State. Franklin has done what many expected

him to do: Recruit. He hauled in a Top 15 2015 class, and has a 2016 class that currently sits in the Top 10. A few of those young players have contributed, namely true freshman Saquon Barkley, but as a whole, it will take time, maybe one more season, for those players to collectively leave their imprint on the gridiron. But Franklin is a mediocre 14-9 (6-8 B1G) at Penn State, albeit with a roster crippled from the 2012 sanctions. Can Franklin recruit his existing players to stay one more season in hopes of restoring one of the most prestigious college football teams in the nation? Below is a look at the top candidates to leave Franklin’s program prematurely following this season: ■ QB Christian Hackenberg; 2015 stats — 149-275, 54.2 percent, 1,992 total yards, 13 touchdowns, 199.2 yards per game, three interceptions. Coming into the season a potential Top 10 pick, Hackenberg’s stock has steadily dropped, despite a six-game, 1,415-yard stretch in which he threw 12 touchdowns without an interception. NFL.com recently published an article calling him more of a “project” than a prospect, following a 205yard and one-interception game at Northwestern. An NFL team that might possibly

take a chance on the 20-year-old is former Penn State coach Bill O’Brien’s Houston Texans, which is still in need of a quarterback. When Hackenberg walks away, he’ll be the school’s all-time leader in passing yards, attempts, completions and probably touchdowns. He won the lone bowl game of his career last season. There may not be much left for him on the collegiate level. ■ DT Austin Johnson; 2015 stats — 64 total tackles, including 26 solo and 38 assisted, 12 tackles for a loss, 5.5 sacks, one fumble recovery, one forced fumble. Johnson came into the season as one of the most prolific defensive tackles in not only the conference but also the nation, and he’s done nothing to deter scouts from taking him on the first night of the draft. Johnson’s 71yard fumble recovery touchdown against San Diego State highlighted the multifaceted junior tackle’s skill set. When he’s not running for six points himself, he’s stopping the opponent from doing the same with his 323-pound frame taking up tons of space, while possessing the agility to close out on rushers and pressure quarterbacks in the backfield.

Penn State football: It’s all about the landing By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The Olympics are, by their very nature, full of amazing moments orchestrated by some of the best athletes on the entire planet. Many arrive relatively unknown outside of their respective sports and leave national icons. Such was the case for McKayla Maroney, an American gymnast who would depart the London 2012 Olympics not only as an Internet sensation, but with a highlight moment under her belt. In an event known simply as the vault, Maroney completed a series of twists and flips in a matter of a few split seconds that I could not even begin to describe with any accuracy that would do the act justice. The entire four-second act was summarized by a judge with mouth agape as Maroney stood tall. Of all the amazing moves Maroney was able to pull off, it was the landing that truly makes the moment. Like drifting a $1 million car into a 30-minute parking space, Maroney turned an already impossible sequence into something unforgettable. A controlled, firm and abrupt stop on the mat below. No extra steps, no acts of balDraft, from page 20 the inside has been one of many factors in the emergence of defensive end Carl Nassib, who leads the nation in sacks and fumbles forced. ■ WR DaeSean Hamilton; 2015 stats — 31 receptions, 426 total yards, 13.7 yards per catch, five touchdowns. Hamilton is the most likely on this list to return to Happy Valley next season. He hasn’t exactly torn it up this season statically, largely due to an inconsistent pass attack.

berg struggled to deliver catchable balls, Penn State has now opened the playbook up for more down-field action. Sophomore receiver Chris Godwin has had a breakout campaign, but Hamilton has been durable when called upon this season, with his team-high five touchdown receptions ranking among the best in the conference. Hamilton led the Big Ten in receptions during his freshman season with 82 and broke the school’s freshman reception and yards record with a 14-catch, 165-yard game versus Ohio State. Other noteworthy draft-eligible players include Akeel Lynch, Angelo Mangiro and Garrett Sickels.

ance, just two feet planted and two arms raised above her head. In many ways, Penn State faces this same kind of challenge. Saquon Barkley’s affinity for hurdling defenders aside, the Nittany Lions won’t have to do nearly as much acrobatics to pull it off. But it’s the dismount and landing that matters now. People don’t remember the flips as much as they remember the landing. They won’t remember the streak of wins against beatable teams, they’ll remember coming close and falling short. A record of 6-0 at home this season is hardly anything to scoff at, even against reasonably weaker opponents and with the benefit of an unremarkable home slate of games heading into mid-November. The challenge now is to find a way to turn all the meat of the routine into something memorable. The flip side of this is an obvious one. After coming just a field goal shy of an 8-2 record, Penn State could very reasonably, and is perhaps completely expected, to fall to 7-5 heading into a bowl game. A fairly positive season would be long departed from the rearview mirror as Penn State settles for a 0-3 streak against Top 25 teams to close out the regular season.

STATE COLLEGE Area High School’s Jordan Misher fights for yardage during the Nov. 13 game with DuBois at Hollidaysburg High School. The Little Lions won the game, 41-7.

Making a State-ment

Little Lions roll past Beaver in D 6-9 Class AAAA title game, 41-7 By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

HOLLIDAYSBURG — After State College’s resounding 41-7 victory over DuBois in the AAAA District 6-9 Championship on Nov. 13, district officials awarded championship medals to all the Little Lions. They should have given two to the State College defensive players. Facing a wide-open, sideline-to-sideline DuBois attack, the loss of its starting quarterback, and then the loss of its star running back, the State High defenders never blinked. They simply went about their business of making stop after stop while the offense reestablished its footing. DuBois, not surprisingly, made the first strong statements in the game. The Beavers took the opening kickoff and promptly marched 43 yards on nine plays to the State College 17-yard line. There the State College defense made its first of many important stops — a fourth-down sack of Beaver quarterback Matt Miller that gave the Lions their first possession on the 20. Six plays and 80 yards later, State College led 7-0 after

Jordan Misher scored on a 3-yard run. Misher, in fact, accounted for all 80 yards in that march on five carries and looked poised to have a monster night. But he came down oddly on the touchdown run and didn’t play the rest of the night. Misher’s loss hurt the State College offense. The next three times the Lions had the ball they punted twice, lost a fumble and netted a total of minus-21 yards. Yet, even against the Beavers’ potent attack, the State College lead was safe. Before the first half ended, the Lion defense would take over on downs twice more, force four punts and give up a total of only 7 net yards. “Credit to DuBois,” State College coach Matt Lintal said. “They tweaked some things early on and it took some time to make some adjustments. Mike Snyder and our defensive staff did an awesome job being able to come out here and put some pressure on the quarterback and take away those quick screens.” It took some time, but the State College offense did catch up. On their fifth possession, the Lions put together a seven-play, 62-yard march that gave them a 14-0 cushion with five minutes to play in the first half. Fullback Pete Haffner gained 53 of those yards on five

carries and capped the drive when he bulled it in from 13 yards out. Two more defensive stops and a last-minute 80-yard march put State College firmly in control of the game. A 45yard run by sophomore Tristan Lyons and a 25-yard pass from quarterback Drew Friberg helped set up a first-andgoal from the one-yard line. From there, Graham took it in to give SC a solid 21-0 lead going into halftime. “We had a few big runs (by Haffner and Lyons), and that led us into scoring drives,” Friberg said, “and the defense, they were terrific. They did an awesome job out there.” The Little Lions did not let up in the second half. They put up three more touchdowns in the third quarter — crowned with a 26-yard pick-6 by Ian Barr — that all but put the game away at 41-0. Led by wide receiver Dante Dawson (nine catches, 75 yards) DuBois did complete a nine-play, 96-yard drive in the fourth quarter that made the final score 41-7. “Coaches coached us up really well,” Haffner said, “and we were expecting everything they threw at us. Nothing surprised us.” State-ment, Page 25

PSU hockey team finding their identity JIM MEINECKE

UNIVERSITY PARK — Coming into the 2015-16 Penn State men’s hockey season, there was some concern about how the current team would replace the offensive output lost during the offseason. Casey Bailey, the leading goal scorer and point scorer from last season, signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs in March. Taylor Holstrom, third on the Jim Meinecke team in scoring last covers Penn State season graduated, and hockey for the Scott Conway, who Centre County was fifth on the team, Gazette. Email was dismissed in May him at sports@ centrecountygazette. for violating team rules. That is a significom.

cant offensive nucleus missing to start this season. To the Nittany Lions’ credit, they are finding ways to replace all of that and more as they go through their non-conference schedule. After only scoring five goals in their prior three games, the Nittany Lions had an offensive burst this past weekend against Sacred Heart. They scored 11 goals, including a team-record five power play goals on Nov. 13, as they went on to sweep Sacred Heart. Leading an impressive freshmen class, Chase Berger had a productive weekend and celebrated his 21st birthday in fashion by scoring three goals. That now puts him at eight goals on the season, and one behind defenseman Jake Walman, of Providence, to lead the country. In fact, three of the four top goal scorers for the Nittany Lions are freshmen. Alec Marsh has five goals and Andrew Sturtz has four goals. Hockey, Page 25

STATE COLLEGE – State College senior Kyla Irwin still has the entire 2015-16 Little Lady Lion basketball season to play, but as of Nov. 11, she doesn’t have to worry about where she is going to take her game next year. The high-scoring forward/center, in front of friends, family and teammates, signed a letter of intent to enroll and play her college basketball for the University of Connecticut Huskies in a brief, early-morning ceremony at State College High School. UConn women’s basketball hardly needs an introduction. In 2015, the Huskies won their third straight and 10th overall National Women’s Basketball Championship under head coach Geno Auriemma. With that championship, Auriemma tied legendary UCLA coach John Wooden with 10 national titles after UConn beat Notre Dame, 6353, in the 2015 final in Tampa, Fla. UConn and Auriemma show no signs of slowing down any time soon, and Irwin is very excited to have the opportunity of playing for the Huskies. “Heading to Connecticut has been a dream of mine since I can remember,” Irwin said. “There aren’t many words that I can describe how happy and blessed I feel that I get this opportunity to play with and be coached by the best in the country. “I’m not going to take for granted this opportunity because I want to work hard and get as much as I can out of a program like UConn.” First, of course, there is the matter of finishing her career at State College. Playing in the tough Mid-Penn Conference, Irwin can expect a senior season filled with teams primed to slow her down. But it will also be a season full of promise as she will be surrounded with old friends and a new group of young players. “I’m playing (at SC) with my best friends on the court,” she said, “and we’re going to work really hard throughout the whole season to make sure that we can be as successful as we can. “This season is going to be bittersweet. I’ve waited 18 years of my life for these last 22 to 25 high school games, and before I know it, they’re going to be over. So I’m not going to take this year for granted or wish it away because State College girls basketball has been my life. It’s only right that I go out with my best season yet with the best teammates.” For State College head coach Bethany Irwin, who is Kyla’s mom, Kyla’s signing no doubt brought up some mixed feelings. Her daughter will be moving on to one of the best programs in the country, but on the other hand, she has just one more season to coach perhaps the top player in the Mid-Penn. “For as long as I can remember, Kyla has wanted to go to UConn and be a Huskie,” she said. “To be able to watch her grow and develop into a strong, confident and determined player has been such a pleasure. Her passion for this game is above the normal high school player.” At UConn, Kyla Irwin will join two others who signed during the early signing period on Nov. 11. They are 5-foot9 guard Molly Bent from Centerville, Mass., and 5-5 guard Crystal Dangerfield from Murfreesboro, Tenn. Auriemma was upbeat about the signings and very complimentary about all three players. About Irwin, he said, “Kyla is the kind of kid that we have taken great pride in getting over the last 30 years. She is a hard-working, high-energy kid and has skills that allow her to play more than one position. She knows how to play the game. She is exactly the kind of kid that we have looked for at UConn and the fact that she has some connections to Connecticut is an added bonus. We are really excited about having her and her family as part of our program.” Irwin is set to enroll for summer term at UConn soon after she graduates from State College.

Nation’s No. 1 wrestling recruit chooses Penn State By ANDY ELDER For The Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — Many wrestling fans believe that once Cael Sanderson walks into a blue-chip recruit’s living room, the recruiting process is over for that wrestler. And, while the allure of wrestling for Sanderson and Penn State is, indeed, strong for many prep stars, there are still other voices that can make compelling cases for their teams. Iowa’s Tom Brands, Oklahoma State’s John Smith, Ohio State’s Tom Ryan and Minnesota’s J Robinson all carry enough cache to persuade elite wrestlers to join their teams. So, when Mark Hall, of Apple Valley, Minn., the No. 1 overall high school recruit in the country, announced he would reveal his college choice on the first day of the 2015 early signing period Nov. 11, his possible destinations included all of the above. They also included Nebraska, where he could train with Olympic and world champion Jordan Burroughs, Wisconsin and Arizona State. In the end, Hall chose Penn State over his other finalists: Ohio State, Minnesota, Arizona State and Wisconsin. The choice, he said, came down to comfort. “Going out to Penn State, it just felt like home to me,” Hall said during a live press conference from his high school on Flo Wrestling.com. “One of the things that went into it was, of all the places that I’m visiting, I’m going to have to live there for 10, 15 years and maybe more than that if I end up coaching at this school, and for me it was Penn State where I felt the most comfortable.”

The Apple Valley senior will compete for an unprecedented sixth straight state title in Minnesota this season. Seventh- and eighth-graders can compete on varsity in Minnesota. Hall is ranked No. 1 overall by both FloWrestling.com and IntermatWrestle.com, and No. 1 at 170 pounds. He has won FILA world and national championships. This is arguably the most significant recruit to commit to Penn State since David Taylor signed in 2009. Hall has compiled a 230-5 career record in his five years on the Apple Valley varsity team, including 123 wins in a row. “Coach Cael, Coach Casey, Coach Cody, all those guys, I truly believe all those guys will help me win four national titles and become a world and Olympic champion,” Hall said. “Any wrestler will say they want to be a four-time national champion and they want to be a part of four national championship teams. I think at Penn State I have the best opportunity to make it happen.” In addition to Hall, four other recruits have announced for the Nittany Lions, including two in the Top 15 overall. Nick Suriano, of Bergen (New Jersey) Catholic, a 125- or 133-pounder, is ranked No. 2 by InterMat and No. 10 by Flo. Suriano has a 121-0 record as he pursues his fourth New Jersey state title. Mason Manville, of Wyoming (Pennsylvania) Seminary (157/165), is ranked No. 12 by Flo and No. 15 by InterMat. In addition, Luke Gardner, of Pottsville (141/149), and Gabriel Beyer, of Leon, Fla., a heavyweight, have announced for Penn State.

PENN STATE wrestling coach Cael Sanderson has landed the nation’s top wrestling recruit. Hockey, from page 23

Nationally, Penn State is also finding itself in some elite company thus far. They rank third in goals per game at 4.4, and they rank second in power play percentage at 31.11 percent. Speaking of the power play, the Nittany Lions received a boost in this area during the Nov. 13 match as 6-foot-6inch junior Zach Saar played in his first game of the season after sustaining an undisclosed lower-body injury earlier this year. He made an immediate impact, scoring a power play goal on a one-timer set up beautifully by defenseman Luke Juha. Coach Guy Gadowsky was excited to have Saar back and, on the power play, said, “(Saar) is a shooter and things are working around how Casey (Bailey) used to do it. He’s the only guy, or probably the best guy, to replace that.” Both Gadowsky and Saar made it apparent that his role will be to shoot at the point on the power play and have teams respect that shot, which will open up more opportunities for the rest of the team. With all of that being said, Gadowsky is looking for more consistency from his team. Though the Nittany Lions won the first contest over Sacred Heart 8-2, they gave up two goals in a span of 1:02 to end the first period. At the time, it cut the lead to 3-2. Gadowsky was asked after the game if he thought it was one of his team’s most complete performances, aside from that minute or so at end of the first period. “I didn’t … the second period I thought we got crushed,” said Gadowsky. “I think 22 shots allowed, and 20 of them were at even strength, was the worst we’ve ever had.” The Nittany Lions put up an impressive amount of shots over the weekend with 51 and 67, respectively, but they also allowed 38 and 45. The Nittany Lions sit at 6-2-2 on the season, which is the same record they had at this point last season. It is encouraging to see the offense come alive in all but a couple of games this season, but the Nittany Lions are also only 1-2-1 against teams that are ranked in the latest USCHO poll (St. Lawrence was 15th and Notre Dame was 18th). The team has also played eight of its first ten games in the friendly confines of Pegula Ice Arena. This weekend will be a big test for the Nittany Lions as they travel to play Alaska-Anchorage, a team that was not ranked this past week, but did receive nine votes. While much of the Nittany Lions’ offensive statistics have been impressive so far, there are a lot of unknowns left with this team. It is a good problem for the team to have because, while they are winning, there is still plenty for Gadowsky to focus on each week. If the team can continue to find themselves and find consistency at both ends of the rink each week, they will be poised to make some noise when it comes time for Big Ten play.

Penn State edges DePaul; improves to 2-0 By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State basketball started hot and finished strong on Tuesday evening as the Nittany Lions rode four double-digit scorers and timely shotmaking to defeat DePaul 68-62. For the second straight game freshman guard Josh Reaves started off the night with a steal and a dunk in an opening fiveminute flurry of defensive stops and four forced turnovers that helped Penn State take an early 11-2 margin. DePaul would gradually crawl back into the game despite only two players scoring from the field in the first half as Penn State cooled and the Nittany Lions entered a 1-for-11 shooting slump midway through the frame. Nevertheless, Brandon Taylor’s threepointer in the first half’s final seconds put Penn State up 31-25 at the break. The Nittany Lions registered six first-half assists, two more than the entire game total against VMI in the season opener. Penn State also turned the ball over just four times to continue a solid early season streak of consistent ball security. Taylor opened the second half the way he ended the first, making a long three and sparking a 19-point second half on 7-of-10 shooting and 4-of-7 shooting from beyond the arc. The senior was diverse in his shot selection and effective all night long. Despite Penn State going up by 10 points just three minutes into the second

half, DePaul shot its way back into the game getting within three on seven occasions in the game’s final 15:39 of play. It was over the span of those final 15 minutes that Penn State started to show what it brings to the table. Weapons across the roster capable of turning small margins into more comfortable leads. DePaul would never get closer than three points for the rest of the game as the Nittany Lions responded to each punch with one of their own. Shep Garner and Brandon Taylor both hit threes on back-toback possessions in the final 1:29 of regulation. “Now you have choices,” said Penn State coach Patrick Chambers, “Not going to say I didn’t have choices last year. We went to Taylor a few times, he came through. He kicks out to Shep, he came through. We went to Josh, he hits a floater, made some free throws at the end. “We stayed committed,” Chambers said. “Every set we ran in the last four minutes we’ve been running for the last three days. They just felt comfortable making those decisions.” By the game’s end Penn State had four players in double figures with Taylor’s 22 leading the way. Garner added 16 on the night while Reaves and Payton Banks both scored 10. Julian Moore was a solid presence on the glass with eight rebounds, four on the offensive end of the floor. While the Nittany Lions will have to prove their worth against bigger and better teams, the ability to close out games with

new roles, there was no guarantee it would happen Tuesday. But it did and the Nittany Lions are 2-0.

Rec Hall. Penn State put on quite a performance in a 50-0 shutout.

NO. 1 PENN STATE 21 NO. 7 VIRGINIA TECH 15

The Nittany Lions won six of 10 bouts, including giving up a forfeit at 285 pounds, but the win didn’t come without some tense moments. The Hokies delighted the record crowd of 5,097 in Cassell Coliseum as they pulled off two upsets, over two Nittany Lions ranked No. 2 in the country, in the first two weights to open a 6-3 lead. Penn State built its win on the shoulders of a pair of upset wins by two of its talented redshirt freshmen — No. 6 157-pounder Jason Nolf and No. 14 174-pounder Bo Nickal. Each of those precocious freshmen knocked off Hokie opponents who were returning All-Americans and entered the match ranked No. 3 in the country. “For them, that’s what they expect to do,” assistant coach Casey Cunningham told the Penn State Sports Network. “Take nothing away from their opponents. They are very, very tough guys and have proven that at the national tournament already.” Virginia Tech 125-pounder Joey Dance, ranked No. 6, scored a reversal late in regulation to tie the match at 3-3 and send it into overtime. Then, in the second tiebreaker period, he escaped to earn a 4-3 win. At 141, unranked Solomon Chishko was awarded a controversial late takedown to edge Jimmy Gulibon, 3-1. Only No. 8 Jordan Conaway’s 4-1 win over No. 18 Kevin Norstrem at 133 kept the Hokies from building any more momentum. Penn State took the lead at 149 and never relinquished it. Ranked No. 2, Zain Retherford led 4-0 after a period, then poured it on against No. 13 Sal Mastriani. Retherford escaped, scored a takedown and then turned Mastriani twice for a pair of four-point nearfalls to end the match in 4:25 with a 15-0 technical fall. Nolf built on the 8-6 lead by knocking off Nick Brascetta, 4-1. Nolf used a first-period takedown, second-period escape and riding-time point to secure the win at 157. Virginia Tech bounced back with a big comeback win at 165. Shakur Rasheed led 4-1 heading into the third period, but Dave McFadden roared back to tie the match at 8-8 and send it into overtime. A tiring Rasheed couldn’t hold him off and McFadden’s takedown midway through the sudden victory period earned him a 10-8 win. With Penn State’s lead a perilous 11-9, Nickal pulled off the second of Penn State’s upsets. He used two takedowns, an escape and riding-time point to upset Zack Ep-

perly, 6-2, to match Nolf’s win. “They are the type of kids that have wrestled on the big stage their entire life,” Cunningham said. “As the year goes, they are just going to get better.” Matt McCutcheon, the No. 14 184 pounder, and top-ranked 197-pounder Morgan McIntosh put the match out of reach with back-to-back wins. McCutcheon shrugged off an initial takedown by Zack Zavatsky and then raced out to a 14-3 lead after one period. He cruised to an 18-4 major decision. After a scoreless first period, McIntosh rolled to a 9-2 decision over No. 17 Jared Haught to build the Nittany Lions’ lead to an insurmountable 21-9. Penn State chose not to send Jan Johnson, who the Nittany Lions are borrowing from the football team, out against No. 2 Ty Walz. Instead, Virginia Tech received a forfeit. Cunningham said that Johnson had only two and a half weeks of practice, and the coaches didn’t want to risk an injury against the bigger and much more experienced Walz. Johnson agreed to join the wrestling team three weeks ago after projected starting heavyweight Nick Nevills suffered an undisclosed injury.

NO. 1 PENN STATE 50 LOCK HAVEN 0

The No. 1 Nittany Lions piled up four falls, two technical falls, an injury default, two decisions and a major decision in dispatching the Bald Eagles. Penn State piled up a 37-1 advantage in takedowns, too. “I think the guys wrestled well. I’m excited. When you have freshmen who are coming out and wrestling as aggressively and as confidently as what these guys did, that feels pretty good. We’re excited. I think the energy was good. Our conditioning was good,” Nittany Lion coach Cael Sanderson said. “I don’t have anything to complain about. Things went well.” For Lock Haven coach Scott Moore, the former Nittany Lion All-American, it was a night in which not a lot went his team’s way. “We had a couple decent matches, but not really. When you come out and wrestle guys who are No. 1 recruits in the country and training with 15 or 20 world-class coaches, it’s hard to compete in an environment like this,” he said. The only two close matches, at 141 and 285, ended in decisions. At 141 it was expected, as No. 2 Nittany Lion Gulibon was paired with the Eagles’ only ranked wrestler, No. 12 Dan Neff. The other, from Johnson, capped the shutout and provided

a glimpse of Johnson’s potential. Johnson, a two-time PIAA champion at Governor Mifflin High School, chose to walk on to the Penn State football team instead of wrestle in college. When Nevills went down, Sanderson called football coach James Franklin to ask if he could borrow Johnson. When Johnson agreed, the Nittany Lions were back in business at heavyweight. Against Lock Haven, Johnson escaped and scored a takedown in the second period and held on for a 3-2 win that earned him the Ridge Riley Award. Johnson said the win was a career athletic highlight for him. “This has got to be easily at the top, No. 1,” he said. “I just wanted to have fun. Coach Cael says to have fun. I could feel the energy. It started to sink in when I was down there warming up. I could feel my heart beat really hard.” The win resonated with Sanderson. “Jan’s been wrestling for two and a half weeks. It takes a lot of courage to step out there, sold-out crowd, and take down a guy who weighs 50 pounds more than you. He did a great job,” Sanderson said. Johnson joined Nolf, Rasheed and Nickal in winning their Rec Hall and collegiate debuts. Nolf scored a fall in 2:42 at 157. “You just watch him (Nolf) and you’re just glad, thinking, ‘We’ve got four more years of this guy. It’s going to be fun.’ He scores points. He’s fun to watch,” Sanderson said. Rasheed scored the initial takedown and won by injury default in :35 at 165 and Nickal rolled to a 21-6 technical fall at 174. Two returning All-Americans returned from a redshirt season and looked like they were better than ever. Megaludis raced to a 19-5 lead before scoring a fall in 6:07. And, at 149, Retherford scored a fall in 2:15. Conaway gave up an initial takedown, the only one for the Bald Eagles, to Bobby Rehm, and then cruised to a 19-4 technical fall in 7:00. Gulibon scored a takedown with 1:06 remaining to edge Neff, 3-2. McIntosh won by major decision, 13-2. McCutcheon scored a fall in 5:56. Penn State travels to the West Coast for its next two dual meets. It wrestles Cal State Bakersfield at 10 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20, and Stanford at 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 22.

Holidays

Local buying this holiday season has many benefits By Metro Creative Services Holiday shopping dominates many people’s free time between the day after Thanksgiving and the final days before Christmas. While many people may shop

‘til they drop on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, those days still account for a relatively small amount of the hundreds of billions of dollars that are spent each holiday season. Shoppers now have a bevy of options

at their disposal as they embark on holiday shopping season. Traditional in-store retailers are still around, and online shopping continues to grow in popularity with each holiday season. But many holiday shoppers are looking to buy local this holiday season, and such a decision can pay a host of dividends for both shoppers and the communities they call home.

BUYING LOCAL BENEFITS YOUR LOCAL ECONOMY

Studies from Civic Economics, an economics and strategics planning firm, found that independent, locally owned retailers return a far greater percentage of their revenue into their local economies than national chain stores. One such study examined the disparity between revenue re-circulation among independent, locally owned businesses in Raleigh, N.C., versus four major national chains in the city. The former re-circulated 51.1 percent of revenue into the local economy, while the latter recirculated less than 14 percent. Similar results were discovered in many cities, indicating that buying local not only benefits local business owners, but also the communities those owners and their customers call home.

BUYING LOCAL CREATES JOBS IN YOUR COMMUNITY

One of the biggest ways local business owners in Raleigh recirculated their revenue in the local economy was job creation. While national chains also create jobs, such jobs only benefit your community if the chains are located within your community. If your local mall is a considerable

drive away, chances are the chains within that mall are not employing many of your fellow community members. Local businesses in your community are more likely to employ residents of your town.

SHOPPING LOCAL MAY PROVIDE ACCESS TO MORE UNIQUE GIFTS

In addition to the economic benefits of buying local, shoppers may find merchandise made by local craftsmen is more unique than mass-produced items found on the shelves of national retailers. Recipients may cherish more unique items that they cannot find on their own, and that appreciation may even spur them to visit more local retailers after the holiday season has come and gone, benefiting their own communities in so doing.

LOCAL BUSINESS MAY PROVIDE A MORE PERSONAL TOUCH

Buying from national chains has its advantages, but customer service is not always one of them. Should your loved ones encounter problems with their gift that requires assistance, they might be forced to wait on the phone for extended periods of time as they and thousands of others wait for customer service representatives to answer their calls. Local businesses do not deal with nearly the volume of customers as national retailers and, therefore, are capable of addressing concerns more quickly and personally than large chains. Buying local not only benefits small business owners, but it also pays dividends for their customers and the communities they call home.

Local artist’s work featured at State Theatre By KAREN DABNEY

correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Hard work and commitment have paid off for State College area artist Marisa Eichman. Two and a half years after her first experience with oil painting, she has won awards at four Art Alliance of Central Pennsylvania shows. Eichman’s first solo exhibit, “The World Is a Myth,” opened Nov. 6 at the State Theatre. Her evocative, realistic portraits are painted using Old Masters techniques. Each painting tells a story. Until the spring of 2013, Eichman dabbled in art as a hobby, and worked in a variety of media, including watercolor, pen and ink, charcoal and graphite. Mostly self-taught, she also took some classes offered by local artists. “I’ve always been interested in art,” Eichman said. “I realized that if I wanted to get good at it, I needed to narrow down my focus. I chose oil painting, but didn’t know if it would capture my interest.” To find out, she took an oil portrait painting workshop taught by local artist David Charriere. “I fell in love with it,” Eichman said. “Every weekend I set up my easel and painted all weekend. David’s class gave me the foundations from which to move forward. “I study paintings to guess what techniques they used, and

I’m obsessed with the quality of light in Old Masters paintings.” She includes chiaroscuro in her paintings — the dramatic, 3-D lighting employed by artists such as Rembrandt, da Vinci and Caravaggio. For deep, luminous effects, she applies many layers of thin, translucent paint. Other areas require opaque, thick paint. Each layer can take a week to dry. She completes a large painting in two months. Eichman labels her style of

painting as Magical Realism, which she describes as “a movement in literature, film and visual arts that offers realistic settings with fantastical and mysterious elements.” “I paint archetypes, the big stories and myths that we all have in common as part of our shared humanity,” explained Eichman. “Examples of archetypes include the warrior, healer, wise woman, adventurer and mother.” Many of her paintings deal with wisdom. Eichman painted

the two mythic Bacchante portraits as symbols of women’s wisdom, power and mysteries. “The Price of Wisdom” is a portrait of a man who symbolizes Woden, the Nordic god who gave up his eye in the pursuit of wisdom. The tree behind him and the fish splashing in front of him are additional elements of the myth. “The Sound Man” is the portrait of a wise friend. “I feel it is important to have a balance of male and female,” Eichman said. “If you strengthen

one, you strengthen the other.” The image of “Pearl Catcher” is inspired by female pearl divers in medieval times, and by a parable of Jesus, “The Pearl of Great Price.” In the parable, heaven is compared to a man who, upon finding a pearl of great price in a field, sells all he owns so he can buy the field and possess the pearl. In the painting, the submerged diver holds a pearl between her lips. Her hand grasps a tentacle of the octopus swimming behind her, giving the painting a sense of mystery. The poem Eichman wrote about this painting is included in the exhibit. Eichman earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature, with a minor in psychology, from Penn State University. Painting has provided her with a way to express her interests in philosophy, folklore, religion, psychology, mythology and how humans create meaning. “My paintings are meant to be meaning generators, and to be mysterious, because we and the world are mysterious,” she said. “There is beauty in that mystery.” Eichman will start taking commissions in January 2016, and hopes to teach painting in the future. She will participate in an upcoming Art Alliance exhibit, Pro Femina, which opens Friday, Dec. 4. Her next solo exhibit is scheduled a year from now at the Bellefonte Art Museum.

Playhouse serves up a hilarious helping of ‘Fruitcakes’ MCCONNELLSTOWN — The Playhouse at McConnellstown is dishing out some delicious humor as the company closes its 2015 season with “Fruitcakes,” a Christmas comedy written by Julian Wiles. The show opens at 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20, at the playhouse, 11680 Raystown Road, Huntingdon. Mix together a batch of fruitcakes, three dozen Christmas trees, 10,000 outdoor Christmas lights, a chicken pox epidemic, two spinsters, an old man, a lost cat named Tutti Frutti and a Christmas hog named Buster and you’ve got the recipe for a fun-filled and touching evening of holiday warmth. Into this world comes Jamie, a young boy who has run away from home and has come as far as his money will take him. At first he thinks the inhabitants of the town he’s ended up in are “nuttier than fruitcakes,” but soon he comes to admire, appreciate and adore the little town. A moving story of alienation, understanding and reconciliation, “Fruitcakes” provides audiences with a heaping helping of Christmas cheer. The cast of “Fruitcakes” includes Joe Krabill as Mack Morgan, the owner of a whirligig emporium, and Maxwell Brenneman as Jamie. Kevin Donahue plays the town policeman, Beebo Danzler, and Chris Wirt is Betty-Jane Danzler, the director of the local Christmas pageant. Sophia Wood and Tyler Hess are

the Danzlers’ children, Sally and Little Beebo. Miss Sara and Miss Alice, two sisters who only speak to each other when they bake fruitcakes for the entire town, are played by Shelby Metz and Stephanie Swan. Will Renninger is the poetryreciting fisherman Skeeter, Bonny Farmer portrays the loveable but absent-minded Mattie Sue and Terry Ayers plays Rick Morgan. The children in the cast include Addisyn Bracco, Lyndsi Bracco, Michael Cantrell, Kashmir Paige Capenos-Paolucci, Lavender Capenos-Paolucci, Caleb Donahue, Anna Kuntz, Sarah Kuntz, Merritt Leidy, Reznor Leidy, Iris Seguin, Sherry Sheeder, Michael Swan and Lily Wise. “This is a very fun show full of Christmas spirit, family and laughter. Audiences with fall in love with this small town filled with loveable fruitcakes,” said director Jennifer Powell. Stage manager for the play is Hunter McVey and the stage crew includes Jackie Myers and Alexis Clifford. Set design is by Don Dietz, sound design is by Rick Brown, lighting designed is by Keith Sutton with technical production by Barbara Hughes, and Jeanne Nagurny is the costume designer. Evening performances will continue Saturday, Nov. 21, Friday, Nov. 27 and Saturday, Nov. 28. Sunday matinee showings will be at 2:30 p.m. on Nov. 22 and 29. All of these scheduled performances are sold

Grappling with the diminishing powers of his mind, Holmes comes to rely upon a boy as he revisits the circumstances of the unsolved case that forced him into retirement and searches for answers to the mysteries of life and love.

JOHN BERRY will perform a Christmas show on Dec. 3 at the State Theatre.

Berry to perform Christmas show

STATE COLLEGE — “It’s Christmas with John Berry” will take place at 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 3, at the State Theatre in State College. Berry has a new outlook, a new address and a new beginning. The singer-songwriter rose to stardom on the country charts of the 1990s with hits such as “Your Love Amazes Me,” “Standing on the Edge of Goodbye” and “She’s Taken a Shine.” His annual Christmas tours brighten the holidays for thousands, as does his rendition of “O Holy Night.” “O Holy Night,” which Berry first recorded in 1994, has become one of the most-played songs of the season on country radio. Berry’s other Christmas offerings in-

clude “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!,” “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” and “Little Drummer Boy.” Berry began doing Christmas tours in 1995 when he released his CD “O Holy Night.” Since then, he has issued three more Christmas music collections. Berry’s performances draw on a lifetime of making music. Born in South Carolina and raised in Georgia, he began playing guitar at 13, performing shows at 14 and making records at 19. “By the time I was 17, I knew that music was what I wanted to do with my life,” he said. “I thought, ‘What else am I going to do? Nothing.’ That was it. I was hooked.” For more information, visit www.johnberry.com

Local musician presents experiment in crowdsourced songwriting STATE COLLEGE — Local musician Jon Michael Swift presents “The Question Box: An Experiment in Crowdsourced Songwriting,” with a live performance and discussion at 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4, at Webster’s Bookstore Café, 133 E. Beaver Ave. in State College. The event is the result of Swift’s crowdsourced songwriting experiment, which began with Swift interviewing both friends and strangers, with a focus on State College residents and Penn State students, and then developing personalized songs about his subjects’ life experiences. Both moving and entertaining, “The Question Box,” takes the crowdsourcing concept of the digital age and brings it to life through original music. “What I have discovered through this process is that people are never who you expect them to be,” Swift said. “That is part of why this process has been so exciting. You see a side of people you would otherwise have passed over, and you affect each other. I’m looking to go a step further than just writing songs; I’m writing songs that are designed to impact the life of the individuals in our community.” The evening performance and the crowdsourcing songwriting process will be part of Swift’s docu-series, “Question Box,” which will be released via YouTube. The performance is in conjunction with First Friday, an event sponsored by the Downtown Business Improvement District and held the first Friday of each month in downtown State College. First Friday encourages the community to spend time downtown experiencing shopping, dining, the arts and entertainment. Swift, who earned a bachelor’s degree in music theory and classical guitar at Temple University, has performed at venues across the United States. With a YouTube

Organic Valley VP to discuss sustainable consumption UNIVERSITY PARK — An innovative marketer and seasoned professional in the consumer packaged goods sector, Lewis Goldstein, will give a free public lecture at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 1, in Alumni Hall, HUB-Robeson Center, on the University Park campus of Penn State. Goldstein will discuss the challenges of promoting organic food as a form of sustainable consumption, as well as the ethics of labeling and packaging organics. Goldstein is the vice president of brand marketing at Organic Valley, a large family farm-run cooperative that promotes and sells organic goods. In addition to his discussion on the ever-changing organic food industry, he will share views on how information on genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, is communicated to consumers via food packaging. Goldstein will highlight Organic Valley’s brand strategy, including the “Save the Bros” marketing initiative, which is raising awareness of the risks of synthetic protein shakes and drinks. The campaign uses high-quality videos and clever social media engagements to coax consumers

into considering organic protein shakes. Goldstein has been a vice president at Organic Valley since 2011. Prior to his time at the co-op, he oversaw marketing at Kiss My Face, an all-natural skin care company. He also worked in marketing at other major companies, including the Dr. Pepper-Snapple Group and the Boston Beer Company. Goldstein serves on the boards of directors for the Milk Processor Education Program and Organic Voices/ Just Label It. The lecture is a part of the Arthur W. Page Center’s Professional-in-Residence program, a series that invites top communicators to University Park to speak. In addition to the lecture, the selected professionals spend several days on campus visiting communications classes, meeting with faculty and networking with others. The Arthur W. Page Center for Integrity in Public Communication is a research center at the Penn State College of Communications dedicated to the study and advancement of ethics and responsibility in corporate communication and other forms of public communication.

Owners of Doug’s Rug Care travel to ‘Rug Summit’ PLEASANT GAP — Doug and Amanda Moerschbacher, owners of Doug’s Rug Care, recently attended an Association of Rug Care Specialists’ seminar and Rug Summit No. 9, both held in Albuquerque, N.M.

Both events featured demonstrations on rug washing and repairs, as well as con-

tinuing-education seminars. The rug care sessions coincided with the beginning of Albuquerque’s famous week-long hot air balloon festival. Doug’s Rug Care, located at 105 N. Main St. in Pleasant Gap, is a full-service oriental and area rug facility, specializing in handwashing and repair of all types of rugs. The business also buys and sells new and used rugs.

CareerLink offers services for veterans From Gazette staff reports

BELLEFONTE — Veterans looking for employment and requiring assistance with the job search process, are invited to speak with the on-site veterans’ representative and other dedicated staff at the local office of PA CareerLink. Veterans have accessed services nearly 300 times during the past year at the Centre County PA CareerLink location, 240 Match Factory Place in Bellefonte. Veterans are encourages to identify themselves as such when they visit the office. Priority service is provided to veterans as they engage the CareerLink system. This means veterans are given priority for receipt of employment, training and placement services provided under a qualified job training program. Veterans are also able to attend job fairs 30 minutes prior to other job seekers. Staff will help veterans move through the process of registering on JobGateway and connect them with the programs and services that best meet each individual’s needs, including free access to the Internet for job- and school-related activities, assistance with resumes and cover letters, development of employment plans, local labor market information, civil service employment information and workshops such as basic computer and job search skills. The PA CareerLink veterans’ representative works directly with veterans with significant barriers to employment. Those

interested should bring DD-214 or discharge papers to their first interviews with the representative. The veterans’ representative can provide an overview of information available on Veterans Administration health care benefits, vocational rehabilitation, VA pensions, education and training options, home loans, VA life insurance, and burial and memorial benefits. The PA CareerLink veterans’ representative works very closely with local Veterans Affairs personnel, who can provide detailed information on available services. Additionally, the veterans’ representative can direct participants to key websites providing detailed information about VA benefits, VA disability information, VA GI Bill information, VA vocational rehabilitation information, state civil service, federal jobs and the state Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. Staff can further point out a variety of other websites that have more information about veterans’ services and programs that provide skill assessments, individual job counselling, labor market information, stipends for training and job placement assistance. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania also provides Disabled Veteran Outreach Program specialists who offer services to meet the employment needs of disabled and other eligible veterans, with an emphasis on serving those who are economically or educationally disadvantaged, including homeless veterans and those with barriers to employment.
