A LARGE DONATION of turkeys and Thanksgiving trimmings arrived at the new storage room of the Philipsburg Food Bank last week just in time for the holiday. In March, the Central Pennsylvania Community Action office moved next door and utilized its former office space for food storage. Pictured is Robin Knepp, CPCA’s Centre County supervisor of family services, preparing to fill 50 Thanksgiving baskets for distribution this week. More than 3,000 individuals will be served by Centre County food pantries this holiday season.
County food pantries gear up for holiday rush By G. KERRY WEBSTER kerry.ccgazette@gmail.com
PHILIPSBURG — It’s going to be a busy few weeks for the employees and volunteers at the eight food pantries in Centre County. Robin Knepp, Centre County supervisor of family services at Central Pennsylvania Community Action, said all eight county locations are geared up and packages are being made for thousands of families. “It’s time for the Christmas program and it looks like we’re all ready to go,” said Knepp, who oversees the eight food pantries. “I haven’t heard from anyone that they are in need of anything, so I’m confident we’re ready for the holiday season.”
CPCA employees and volunteers will be busy over the next several weeks packaging Christmas baskets for families. Each basket will contain a turkey, ham or meat voucher, as well as all the sides and trimmings for a traditional holiday meal. “We have a lot of food to prepare over the next few weeks, and we’re still accepting donations,” said Knepp. “We just ask that you keep in mind when donating what you’d like to see on your holiday dinner table. Those are the kinds of items we’re seeking.” According to Knepp, more than 3,000 individuals are served at the local food pantries every month. The requirement is a family must be at 150 percent
STATE COLLEGE — Republican Donald Trump’s success in Pennsylvania, which helped propel him to an Electoral College victory, was no surprise to U.S. Rep. Glenn “G.T.” Thompson. Thompson, R-Bellefonte, said in traveling the 5th district during the campaign, it was “very, very clear how lopsided” voter enthusiasm was for Trump over Democrat Hillary Clinton in the race for president. Now, with a changed political landscape, Thompson sees some “exciting opportunities” in the new Congress, particularly on health care, tax reform and immigration policy. Representing a state that helped put Trump over the top, Pennsylvania’s delegation is “well positioned” with the new administration, he said. And what makes him particularly excited, Thompson said, is the opportunity to work with Vice President-elect Mike Pence, a friend from their days working together in Congress. “Mike is a good friend of mine — one of my mentors,” Thompson said Nov. 21 in an interview with The Centre County Gazette. “We did Bible study together.” The two served together in Congress from Thompson’s
first term in 2009 until Pence became governor of Indiana in 2013. Thompson said he expects that Pence “will play a large role” in working with Congress. “He’s an effective legislator, communicator and team builder,” said Thompson, who most recently spent time with Pence on Nov. 17 during a Capitol Hill meeting with GOP legislators. Pence, Thompson said, “warned us to buckle up; it’s going to be busy. I like that.” Thompson tackled a range of topics during an hour-long session with the Gazette.
TRUMP’S TRANSITION
“I think he’s done as well as anyone,” Thompson said of Trump’s actions since winning the election Nov. 8. “He’s reached out to President Obama.” While some of the presidentelect’s cabinet choices so far have generated controversy, “he’s building an effective team for the country.” Thompson said he’s talked to a couple of constituents who have done business with Trump, who noted that Trump’s leadership style is to “surround himself with very talented people” who bring a diverse set of skills to the table.

Assistance offered to flood victims By GEOFF RUSHTON statecollege.com
The U.S. Small Business Administration announced Nov. 21 that it has declared Centre and Lycoming counties a disaster area in the wake of Oct. 20-21 flooding, allowing affected residents and businesses to apply for low-interest disaster recovery loans. Gov. Tom Wolf made the request last week to the SBA for a disaster declaration. He also he made a request from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to be eligible for recovery funding for Bradford, Centre, Lycoming and Sullivan counties. The FEMA declaration rePolice Blotter .................... 2 Opinion ............................ 9
quires approval from the president. The overall estimated combined damages in the counties is $33.2 million. In addition to Centre and Lycoming counties, the SBA declaration also covers adjacent counties of Blair, Bradford, Clearfield, Clinton, Columbia, Huntingdon, Mifflin, Montour, Northumberland, Potter, Sullivan, Tioga and Union. “After my trip there right after the flooding, I understood that the devastation in North Central Pennsylvania is more significant and wide-spread than we have seen recently in the commonwealth,” Wolf said in a statement.

POLICE BLOTTER STATE POLICE AT ROCKVIEW
Police reported an investigation is ongoing after suspected synthetic marijuana was found following a cell search at SCI Rockview at 12:15 p.m. Oct. 22. ❑❑❑ Authorities reported an SCI Rockview inmate spit on another inmate and a corrections officer, striking them in the face, at noon Nov. 8 at SCI Rockview. Police are continuing to investigate. ❑❑❑ Police were called to the Interstate 99 on-ramp near Sky Mountain Road at 6:15 p.m. Nov. 10 to investigate a two-vehicle crash.

The driver of the red tractor-trailer did not stop and exchange the required information or render aid as required. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact (814) 355-7545. ❑❑❑ Two charges of harassment were filed against 28-year-old Sarah Ashley Munda, of Marion Township, following an incident at 6:36 p.m. Nov. 14 at a Terra Vista Street residence.

Top wrestling writer signs book, reminisces By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
REBERSBURG — Tom Elling, the man who many consider to be America’s top writer on the subject of high school and college wrestling, held a book signing for his new “Pennsylvania Wrestling Handbook” at an open house/reception Nov. 20 in Forefathers Book Shop. Elling, who resides in Lock Haven, was named the winner of the 2015 Dellinger Award as America’s top wrestling writer. He has been active in the sport for more than 50 years as a competitor, coach, official, historian and writer. The author signed copies of his book, which has been referred to as the “Bible of Pennsylvania Wrestling.” It includes win/ loss records, weight, graduation year and tournament places of thousands of Pennsylvania wrestlers from 1938 to 2016, both alphabetical by last name and by school, as well as place results from most of the Pennsylvania-involved wrestling tournaments. It contains 334 pages of facts and statistics on Pennsylvania high school wrestling, and also features results of NCAA college wrestling. Elling said he has been gathering information for the book for 23 years. “I was following wrestling statewide when you couldn’t get a lot of information — it was before the internet,” he said. “It was for my own benefit then (when coaching), and some other people started show-
ing some interest, and it just expanded.” Elling said he has friends in the PIAA who helped him gather some of the data for the book. Elling said the book is useful to tournament directors for seeding the participating wrestlers, to coaches for gathering records of opposing teams’ wrestlers, and to media personnel as a source of statistics for their coverage. He also feels that the book appeals to die-hard wrestling fans and former wrestlers. The Rebersburg book signing featured a steady parade of former wrestlers and friends lining up to see Elling and to reminisce. Kevin Bryerton, of Lamar, remembered an incident during his time as a junior high wrestler under Elling’s coaching when he lost a match. Elling was angry and punched his clipboard, breaking it in two. “I remember to this day walking off the mat and he (Elling) was holding two pieces of clipboard. He said, ‘See that? You did that,’” said Bryerton, drawing chuckles from other former wrestlers standing nearby. Elling mentioned that he nearly became Penns Valley High School’s wrestling coach when legendary coach Joe Hammaker retired in 1993. “When Joe retired he invited me to come to Penns Valley,” said Elling. “But I taught English, and there were no positions available at the time.” For more information, visit www. pawrsl.com.

THE YMCA of Centre County holds its 14th annual Polar Bear Plunge at Black Moshannon State Park on Dec. 3.
Polar Bear Plunge to benefit residents in need By MARK BRACKENBURY editor@centrecountygazette.com
Taking a dip in the waters of Black Moshannon State Park, even when the air temperature is near freezing, isn’t all that difficult. Just ask Liz Toukonen, who’s about to take the plunge for the 14th time. “It’s really not that bad,” said Toukonen, executive director of child care services for the YMCA of Centre County, which holds its 14th annual Polar Bear Plunge at the park Saturday, Dec. 3. “The atmosphere really kind of adds to it,” she said. “Everyone is excited to get in the water and get it over with. You’re running in, you’re going under and coming out.” Some participants note that it’s something to mark off their bucket list, she said. But the main draw, she said, is that the plunge is “for a great cause. It’s unique.” The event benefits the Y’s Open Doors financial assistance and Backpack Weekend Food programs. Both programs help local children, adults and families with limited financial resources. The Centre County Y currently provides
F O X D A L E
more than 850 backpacks of food every weekend to students in seven school districts. Every week volunteers come together to prepare the backpacks. The backpacks help needy children get through the weekend, when school lunches are not available. “There is a tremendous amount of need out there,” Toukonen said. The packs contain a breakfast, a lunch and a dinner, a couple of fruits and a snack. The backpacks may include such things as soups, ravioli, Pop-Tarts, crackers, apples, raisins, peaches, oatmeal and cereals, Toukonen said. The Open Doors program ensures that no one is turned away from the Y because of an inability to pay. The program has given families, adults and youths the opportunity to participate in programs such as child care, summer camp and youth sports, among others. More than $400,000 in YMCA memberships and programs were given back to the community through Open Doors in 2015. “One hundred percent stays in the community and is given right back to people,” Toukonen said. The plunge usually attracts about 100

plungers and 100 spectators, but varies depending on the weather, she said. The festivities begin Dec. 3 at 9:30 a.m. with registration, raffles, snacks and hot beverages. A 10 a.m. warmup includes disc jockey Ricky LaPean and a Zumba workout. The plunge takes place at 11 a.m. While plungers can register the morning of the event, Toukonen noted that it’s best to do so in advance and collect pledges.
The minimum donation for plungers 16 and older is $50, while the minimum for those under 16 is $25. The event includes refreshments, prizes and a post-plunge celebration at the Philipsburg Elks Lodge and Country Club. And perhaps most important, there are warming tents for those brave plungers, Toukonen said. To learn more, register or sponsor a plunger, visit www.ymcaocc.org.

DA: Two major drug organizations stopped in tracks BELLEFONTE — Two separate major drug operations that the Centre County DA says are responsible for supplying heroin and cocaine in Centre and surrounding counties have been stopped in their tracks. On Nov. 18, District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller said officers and agents from the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General’s Centre County Drug Task Force conducted a drug arrest operation as a result of a grand jury investigation into two separate organizations. They were identified as the Azim Robinson organization and the Wilber Calliste organization. According to authorities, arrest warrants were obtained for four individuals involved with the Azim Robinson organization. Robinson, a resident of Philadelphia, was identified as controlling the organization from as far back as December 2014, shortly after he was released from a state prison for a drug arrest that occurred in State College in 2010. In 2015 and 2016, the Centre County Drug Task Force identified Syeem ByrdYoungblood, Isaiah Tilghman and Amir Robinson as heroin and cocaine distributors working with or for Azim Robinson. All three were previously arrested and
prosecuted by the Centre County District Attorney’s Office and are currently incarcerated. In addition, authorities said Nyeem Copes and Robert Carlin were also identified as heroin and cocaine distributors for Robinson. After the arrests of Byrd-Youngblood, Tilghman and Amir Robinson, Azim Robinson continued to distribute the drugs in the Centre and Clearfield counties areas by recruiting Eugene Batchler and employing him as a distributor, authorities said. Police said Azim Robinson and his distributors transported the drugs from Philadelphia and he would facilitate the drug sales by having his customers contact him on a cellular phone and he would direct them to meet with his distributors. He typically remained in Philadelphia and ran his drug distribution business from there to insulate himself from law enforcement detection. Both Azim Robinson and Batchler were taken into custody on charges stemming from this investigation and are currently being held at the Centre County Correctional Facility. According to authorities, individuals involved in the Azim Robinson organization were selling heroin in bundle form (10
to 14 bags) and brick quantities (50 to 70 bags), as well as selling multiple grams of raw heroin. In addition, cocaine was sold in multiple gram and ounce quantities. Authorities estimate the street value of heroin and cocaine sold by the Robinson organization between December 2014 and November 2016 is more than $300,000. Arrest warrants were also obtained for Wilber Calliste and Joshua Powell for allegedly distributing heroin and cocaine from fall 2014 through August 2016 in Centre County. As a result of a grand jury investigation, witnesses testified both men were selling heroin and cocaine to customers in Bellefonte, State College and surrounding Centre County communities. Powell was arrested in late August by state police on burglary and other unrelated charges, and was incarcerated at the Centre County Correctional Facility. Based on that arrest, Calliste fled the area, but was taken into custody Nov. 16 by the Berks County Probation and Parole Department in coordination with this investigation. Calliste and Powell were both selling heroin in bundle and brick quantities and cocaine in multiple gram and ounce quan-
tities, authorities said. It is estimated that the street value of the heroin and cocaine sold between fall 2014 and August 2016 is more than $50,000. The Centre County District Attorney’s Office said law enforcement officials investigating both drug organizations used various tools, including surveillance techniques, consensual interceptions and undercover purchases as they worked to file charges over a period of the past year. Agents, investigators and officers made a series of controlled purchases utilizing confidential informants and undercover agents. “I commend our drug task force for rooting out these hard dealers and stopping the flow of these dangerous drugs into our community,” said Parks Miller. “It is a long and complicated road to take down a network of drugs coming from somewhere else and we are committed to going up the ladder to cut off supply.” Individuals who have witnessed a drug deal or suspect illegal drug activity where they live or work can send an anonymous tip to the Office of Attorney General by texting PADRUGS + YOUR TIP to 847411.

people who want to come here to do harm to the country, he said. “Even one time is not acceptable.” Strengthening border security is important, he said, whether it be a wall or other barriers and technology already in place. “What’s coming across (the border) is pretty scary — drugs and all kinds of potential threats,” he said. At the same time, he said the country needs to make sure that the legal immigration process is “less bureaucratic.”
questions of constitutionality rather than making law,” adding, “that’s what Congress is for.”
Other ongoing priorities, he said, include health care, safety of American families, tax reform (“it’s not a fair system” and needs to be simplified), and “making sure we’re doing the right thing in terms of agriculture.” Thompson said he plans to continue his style of “listening and leading. Hearing home-grown solutions that my constituents have. “It’s always exciting and a privilege to serve in the people’s house. We’ve had some successes. I’m proud of our record.”
The congressman said he was pleased that Trump was talking to once bitter rival Mitt Romney about a position in his administration.
POST-ELECTION PROTESTS
Thompson called the “not my president” protests that have taken place around the country, including on the Penn State campus, “very disappointing.” While noting that he supports people’s First Amendment right to protest, he said he did not recall such protests after Obama was elected. An orderly transition of power in which the results of an election are respected sends an important message to the world, he said. “We make leadership transitions at the ballot box, not with bombs and bullets,” he said.
IMMIGRATION
The process of screening people who want to enter the country needs to be improved, Thompson said. “We need to make our country secure for those families who are here and for those who want to come here legally,” he said. The current process is “too loose” on background checks and opens the door for
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT
“We have to” repeal and replace Obamacare, Thompson said. “There’s a lot here that needs to be dealt with.” “It’s unaffordable for people,” he said. “People are opting out of the insurance market at an alarming rate.” Thompson said he believes the matter can be addressed in the first 90 to100 days of the Trump administration. His guiding principle, Thompson said, is “whatever we do, make (health care) more affordable and accessible.” Patients should be the decision-makers in consultation with their physicians, he said.
PRIORITIES
Thompson, of Howard Township, was re-elected Nov. 8 to his fifth term in the House, winning every county in the district and getting 67 percent of the vote over Democrat Kerith Strano Taylor. He said he is still hopeful that some legislation on which he’s worked, including a career and technical education training bill, legislation on private mineral rights and civil rights for people with disabilities, will make it to Obama’s desk before Inauguration Day. “We have a lot of work to do between now and Jan. 20,” he said.

Man sentenced in ethnic intimidation incident
BELLEFONTE — A former Penn State student was sentenced Nov. 18 in Centre County Common Pleas Court to serve 15 days to 231⁄2 months in the county jail on ethnic intimidation and related charges. Centre County District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller reported Nicholas Tavella, 20, of Greensburg, was sentenced by Judge Pamela Ruest after declining to choose a jury and entering a guilty plea in October. His guilty plea included a felony charge of ethnic intimidation, a misdemeanor charge of terroristic threats and the summary violations of harassment/follow in or about a public place, public drunkenness, and purchase, consumption, possession or
transportation of liquor. In addition to his jail sentence, he was also ordered to serve 90 days of probation and pay several fines. According to police, in December 2015, Tavella followed a male stranger who was walking home from studying through Penn State University property yelling obscenities and asking the victim if he was going to “rape a girl.” Authorities said he continued to taunt and follow the victim and asked why he was trying to get away. The victim and Tavella came to an intersection where he grabbed the victim by the collar of his throat and said, “Don’t make me put a bullet in your chest.” A stranger intervened to break up the
confrontation. Tavella admitted to authorities he racially profiled the victim because of his skin color, which he thought appeared to be of Middle Eastern or Asian descent. During the preliminary hearing in December 2015, his NICHOLAS defense attorney arTAVELLA gued Tavella’s actions were motivated by his “love of country” and made reference to
recent Donald Trump rhetoric. The judge dismissed a felony charge of ethnic intimidation; however, the District Attorney’s Office refiled the charge, stating the dismissal was in error because the behavior exhibited was the behavior criminalized by the statute. A second preliminary hearing was held, and the charge was held to court. “This was a very serious case,” said Parks Miller. “Everyone deserves to feel safe regardless of their race, ethnic background or religion. In this day and age, especially this behavior, simply has no place in our society.”

or below the state and federal poverty guidelines. That said, she explained that more working families are receiving assistance than ever before. “We want to get rid of the stigma that this food is going to people who just don’t work, or who are just looking for a free hand out,” said Knepp. “... It’s not like that anymore. I’d say more families we see are working families that have paychecks that just don’t stretch to the end of the month. Sometimes, a visit to us for food may allow that family to use that money to pay a bill or make a home repair. We’re here to help everyone.” Knepp said many people working two part-time jobs are eligible to receive the assistance. “It’s not a bad thing to offer what we provide. The more people realize that, the more we can knock down that stigma and help families live a better lifestyle.” Knepp said the food pantries collect more donations during holiday time than they do the entire rest of the year. That leaves some empty shelves when the warmer months arrive. “We’re here all year round and we need more people to realize that,” she said. “We are so very fortunate to have wonderful residents, churches, schools and other
DONATIONS WELCOME ALL YEAR
Knepp said donations are welcome all year. Donations of non-perishable foods of any kind are appreciated. However, she noted that some items she refers to as “staples” aren’t necessarily seen that way by the food pantries’ main funding source. “The federal government won’t allow us to spend money on ‘non-essentials,’ much of which are condiments,” said Knepp. “We can’t buy things like ketchup or mustard or even coffee with federal money.” She explained local monetary donations are important to make such purchases, and in special cases, used for holiday meals. “Right now, monetary donations will be going toward purchasing meat vouchers for our holiday baskets,” said Knepp. “We’re distributing Thanksgiving baskets for the first time this year in Philipsburg, and we’re still going to need some help filling the meat vouchers for the Christmas baskets, so donations would be greatly appreciated.” In addition, food pantries in Centre County will again be distributors of the

Canines get own bar, boutique to call home By G. KERRY WEBSTER Kerry.ccgazette@gmail.com
BELLEFONTE — It’s definitely not a dog’s life for the pooches in and around Bellefonte anymore. Now, thanks to the vision of local businesswoman Carly Andriaccio, local canines have their own hangout to call home. The Bone Bar and Boutique opened at 135 W. High St. just a few weeks ago, and according to the owner, business is picking up as people realize just what is being offered at her specialty store.
“I’ve always loved animals, particularly dogs,” said Andriaccio, a New York transplant. “I’ve volunteered for several different animal organizations and have worked in kennels before. I’ve always wanted to own my own business, and when this opportunity came up, I had to take it.” The store features gourmet treats, Penn State toys and apparel, custom hand-knit sweaters, grain-free food and other toys and accessories. There is also a select number of items for our feline friends. “Right now, we’re mainly focused on dogs, but we do have some things for cats, too,” Andriaccio said. “We had some people come in and ask about things for birds and fish, and although we don’t have those kinds of things now, we’re going to listen to our customers and try to bring in the things they want on our shelves.” The love of man’s best friend has deep roots in the Andriaccio family. While residing in Smithtown, N.Y., Andriaccio and her family volunteered for the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind. Through the foundation, the family raised six pup-

pies, five of which have gone on to become seeing-eye dogs, and the sixth became a breeder for the foundation, and continues to live with the Andriaccio family in Bellefonte. Andriaccio volunteered at the foundation throughout high school, and held her first job there, caring for the dogs that were boarding at the kennel. She said she and her parents have also adopted puppies to give them a better life, their most recent one from PAWS a few years ago. “I really owe a lot to my family for making this dream come true for me,” Andriaccio said.

STATE COLLEGE — Anyone who thinks one person can’t make a difference in our modern world hasn’t met E.G.P. Haran. Holding a doctorate in urban planning, Haran recently spoke to the Rotary Club of State College-Downtown about the central role he played in the ongoing battle to eradicate polio from the world. A resident of Bangalore, in southern India, Haran has been in dozens of countries to oversee the administration of the polio vaccine to millions of children. Haran was in State College to visit with his son, Murali Haran, a tenured member of the Penn State faculty who teaches and is conducting research in the field of statistics. “This is the best time in my life,” he said in a gentle and quiet voice. “I envision a global community that does away with exploitation. We are all intertwined in this world.” Haran’s trip to America also included a visit to his alma mater, Carnegie Mellon University, where he received the Distinguished Alumni Award for 2016. Currently there are only three nations on earth that have reported cases of the poliovirus —Nigeria, India and Pakistan. “Eventually, the virus will be done,” he said. The most difficult challenge is in Pakistan, where, according to Haran, there are more than 25 groups of Taliban still operating. The convergence of culture and government resistance have made the final three countries a challenge. Haran lived and worked in the three countries for extended periods. It all started in 1996, when Rotary International contacted Haran. “They asked me to raise dollars for vaccines. We raised more than $250 million and created the momentum that brought China and the Philippines on board.” His initial goal was to visit all the countries in Asia. “China was very receptive, even though they do not have Rotary Clubs in that country,” said Haran. He even made it to the remote Solomon Islands. One of his duties was to help organize a one-day vaccination of Indian children. “On that one day, India vaccinated more than 125 million children,” he said. “Now, I continue to work on polio, but I am also working to eradicate measles and rubella in the world.” Recently, Haran became a member of his local Bangalore Rotary Club. He would like to establish a partnership with the State College Rotary Club to work together on an international project. This sort of activity is encouraged by the International Rotary Foundation, one of the largest in the word. The Bangalore Club, Haran noted, has a “wish list” of projects that are well beyond the scope of most clubs in America. “We want to create 100 ‘Happy Schools,’” he said. “A ‘Happy School’ is one with proper sanitation, clean water and teachers who know how to teach basic skills.” The club also built and operates a high school in Bangalore, as well as numerous kidney dialysis units for individuals who are too poor to pay for the service themselves. “I would like to convince the State College Club to work with us on e-learning and seeing our students make progress,” he said.

Currently, the business is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays. Carly said she will continue to monitor store traffic and will establish a more permanent schedule in the future. She said looking ahead, she’d like to add a grooming service to the business, as well as possibly offer day care opportunities for pets. A grand opening celebration is scheduled from 4 to 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 9, including a ribbon-cutting ceremony. There will be free dog treat samples, puppies available for adoption from PAWS and dog photos with Santa (a $1 donation will benefit PAWS). Andriaccio said a percentage of all sales during the event will be donated to the PAWS organization to help it continue to provide excellent care for its animals. For more information, call (814) 4247337.
Andriaccio’s parents, Tricia and Mike Andriaccio, were instrumental in the startup of the Bone Bar and Boutique. They moved from their New York home in 2010 to become owners of Reynolds Mansion Bed and Breakfast. After falling in love with the Victorian charm of Bellefonte, the couple purchased a historic West High Street property which once housed part of M&M Copy. After a variety of renovations, they were able to open the new business “It’s great to see Carly’s dream turn into a reality,” said Jen Riden, of the Penn State Small Business Development Center. “The location of Bone Bar and Boutique is so close to Talleyrand Park and the new waterfront project (and) it will be convenient for dog walkers to stop in for a treat.”

Flood victims, from page 1 “These loans will help these areas rebuild and I thank all the state and local officials who worked so hard to make sure they would be available.” SBA representatives will be at the Disaster Loan Outreach Centers to issue loan applications and answer questions. In Centre County, the outreach center opens Tuesday, Nov. 29, at 10 a.m. and will remain open through Thursday, Dec. 8, at 3 p.m. The office, located at the Office of Emergency Services in the Willowbank Building, 420 Holmes St., Bellefonte, will be be open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3. It will be closed Sunday, Dec. 4. Businesses and nonprofit organizations may borrow up to $2 million to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate, equipment and inventory and other assets. Low-interest loans of up to $200,000 are available to homeowners to repair or replace damage or destroyed real estate. Homeowners and renters are eligible for loans of up to $40,000 for damaged or destroyed personal property. Loan amounts, interest rates and terms are set by the SBA and are based on an applicant’s financial condition. Individuals and businesses not able to visit the outreach center in person can call the SBA’s Customer Service Center at (800) 6592955 or (800) 877-8339 (for the hearing impaired), or email disastercustomerservice@sba.gov. Loan applications also can be downloaded at www.sba.gov/disaster.
The filing deadline to return applications for physical property damage is Tuesday, Jan. 17. The deadline to return economic injury applications is Friday, Aug. 18. In Centre County, the Bald Eagle Valley, including Milesburg and Howard, was most significantly affected by the flooding after receiving up to 10 inches of rain in a two-hour period, causing Spring Creek to overflow its banks. More than 400 homes and businesses suffered damage, along with infrastructure and utilities. Search and rescue operations were undertaken and a shelter was opened at Bald Eagle Area High School. Centre County declared a disaster emergency in the wake of the flooding. “The SBA is strongly committed to providing the people of Pennsylvania with the most effective and customer-focused response possible to assist businesses of all sizes, homeowners and renters with federal disaster loans,” SBA administrator Maria Contreras-Sweet said in a statement. “Getting our businesses and communities up and running after a disaster is our highest priority at SBA.” A disaster declaration through FEMA, if approved, would provide funding to state, local and county governments and eligible non-profits in affected counties. Funds will reimburse costs of response and recovery, such as personnel overtime, damaged infrastructure, search and rescue operations and operating shelters. The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency tracked those costs.

Ifill transcended race and gender By the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette When Gwen Ifill, the co-anchor of “PBS NewsHour,” died Nov. 14 after a two-year battle with cancer, accolades from fellow journalists and political figures poured in. Ifill, who was 61, broke down barriers of race and gender at a time when the news industry was just beginning to understand the importance of diverse news staffs. She began her distinguished career as a print journalist whose byline graced The Baltimore Sun, The Washington Post and The New York Times. In 1994, NBC newsman Tim Russert encouraged Ifill to leave print for a career in broadcast journalism. Hired by NBC, Ifill covered Capitol Hill for five years until 1999, when she moved to PBS to host “Washington Week.” In doing so, Ifill became the first black woman to host a major political talk show. Her ease and mastery of the format made it possible for the news executives who did the hiring to imagine journalists of color in roles they had never been seen in before. In 2013, Ifill made history again by teaming with Judy Woodruff as co-managing editor and co-anchor of “PBS NewsHour.” All along the way, Ifill took it upon herself to encourage young journalists, especially African-Americans who approached the profession with a sense of wariness, to pursue their dreams with gusto. It will be difficult to imagine Washington journalism without Gwen Ifill, a towering figure calmly assessing the day’s events. Her presence will be deeply missed.

— albeit safe and caring — environment and it feels more than a bit off. Where are those crackers that we are used to? They don’t understand the language. What are we supposed to do? From food to how we dress. From language to how we conduct ourselves in our day-to-day interactions. Our “culture” includes our standards for conduct, our laws, our customs, our art and music, and our understanding of each other. When we leave and venture into the culture of others, it can be disconcerting. It can also be incredibly enriching. Only by being exposed to new cultures and new experiences, can we learn and grow. I remember entering a restroom in an airport on my way to Okinawa. The women’s restroom had stalls with a variety of options including one that looked like a hole in the tile floor. I remember gently pushing open each of the stalls until I found one that had what looked familiar. “I’ll stick with what I know” I thought. I expected differences in language, food and social interactions — but in the bathroom? To quote Dorothy from “The Wizard of Oz,” “Toto, I don’t think we are in Kansas anymore.” I came back from that trip and from others to different places and cultures with a new appreciation and understanding of those whose cultures are different from mine. Culture shock can turn to acceptance and adaptation. Learning about how others operate in this world can make us more empathetic and open to our differences. Eventually, the twin pandas will adjust to their new environment. They will learn the language and expectations of their caregivers. They will acclimate to the temperature and climate differences. They will find new favorite foods. Like humans, they will learn to adapt to the new culture.
Fake news a real problem for all of us The San Diego Union-Tribune Elections have consequences, as President Barack Obama famously told congressional Republicans after taking office in 2009, and the decisive Electoral College triumph of Donald Trump in the presidential election will have far-reaching consequences. When the Democratic Party emerges from denial about the country’s current direction — and moves on from its uproar over Hillary Clinton’s popular vote margin — its responsible leaders and members will undertake some soul-searching. For now, the most notable consequences of Trump’s win are in social media. First Google and then Facebook announced that they would not allow fake news sites to use the tech giants’ advertising services, which provide lucrative revenue for widely shared web traffic. This is a welcome change — but not because of the silly clamor in some places that Hillary Clinton lost to Trump as a result of the proliferation of fake news stories. No, Clinton lost for numerous nuanced reasons, including the simple fact that she was a symbol of the status quo in an election year in which so many

people wanted change. Rather, the fight against fake news is welcome because the tech giants are used by hundreds of millions of people a day; the world’s largest internet companies have a responsibility to protect users from misinformation. But this is a slippery slope. In some cases, one person’s fake news will be another person’s strong opinion. The algorithms that Facebook has used to try to filter out fake news haven’t worked well, and when Facebook used humans and algorithms to monitor posts and news feeds, it faced accusations of anti-conservative bias from two news “curators” who helped decide what topics were trending. Deciding what is fake news and what is satire is also a challenge. Take, for example, The Daily Currant. It won attention in 2013 after getting several major media outlets to pick up its fake reports, such as a story that a New York pizzeria had refused to serve then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg a second slice of pizza to protest Bloomberg’s attempts to limit soda consumption. This led to a Politico report that noted that unlike The Onion, The Daily Currant wasn’t going for laughs. Instead, it wanted to
inflame opinion. Perhaps in response, The Daily Currant now regularly features Onion-style attempts at humor mixed in with humorless fake news. As of now, its page had no Google ads. Is this fair? Probably. But if fake news is OK when it’s funny, how subjective can you get? What algorithm — or human — can be trusted to make this distinction? If Google and Facebook adopt restrictive policies, a barrage of bias claims seems inevitable. Thankfully, the new policies that Twitter recently announced have far less of a gray area. The besieged social media company has finally responded to critics by providing tools to limit online harassment, including filters that block unwanted tweets containing specific keywords and hashtags. This comes against a backdrop of mean-spirited and bigoted targeting of Trump critics. Few stories this campaign season were as stomachturning as the one told by National Review writer David French about the grotesque online abuse he and his family faced after he sharply criticized Trump. These changes shouldn’t have taken an election. But they are encouraging nonetheless.

PSU alums break gender barriers — with rockets By EMILY CHAMBERS Penn State News
UNIVERSITY PARK — About 2,500 miles west of State College, at Space Exploration Technologies Corporation headquarters in Hawthorne, Calif., five Penn State industrial engineering alumnae are working in the company’s Industrial Engineering department. Lauren Knobloch, Kate Tice, Fawn Romanko, Liz Jenkins and Ali DiNatale have received IE degrees from Penn State within the last five years. Some of them knew each other in high school or college, others were strangers who have become friends. Though their paths to SpaceX were different, they all now work together in an effort to accomplish the company’s mission. “Problem solving is what IE and SpaceX is all about,” Romanko said. “We are trying to enable people to live on Mars. We are trying to accomplish the impossible.” Tice and Knobloch are lean facilitators within the IE department. They are assigned an area of production within the company and look for ways to eliminate waste. This can be in the form of physical waste, such as using too much of a material, or wasted time. After Tice and Knobloch have identified areas that can be improved, Romanko, Jenkins and DiNatale step in. Their job is to make changes in the processes that address the issues of waste identified by the lean facilitators. “We all work as a team,” Knobloch said. “The goal is for
everything to be as efficient as possible. Even if we aren’t working in the same area, we all consult one another.” The women were drawn to SpaceX because of the company’s visionary mission. “SpaceX’s mission to enable people to live on other planets is really inspiring,” said Romanko. “When I got the offer to work here, to work for such an innovative company, I couldn’t turn it down.” Most of them were looking for the next step in their careers and the strong Penn State network led them to SpaceX. The first of the group to work at SpaceX was Knobloch, who earned her master’s degree in engineering management in 2015 from the Penn State World Campus. She began her IE career at Lockheed Martin in its Space Systems division and made the move to SpaceX in 2014. During the spring of that year, DiNatale was also beginning her journey at SpaceX, in the company’s supply chain co-op program. DiNatale returned to Penn State for her senior year and, after graduation, accepted a full-time position with the company. “It was hard coming back to Penn State,” DiNatale said. “After being at SpaceX it was hard to interview with companies that make toothpaste or cereal. I just kept thinking about SpaceX.” In 2015, Romanko and Tice joined the team. Tice, who was working for GKN, and Romanko, at the time with Intel, were both persuaded by Knobloch to apply at SpaceX. Jenkins was the last to make the move. After two years with

The five women are known as the “PSU group” within the company. Kraft, Jenkins was looking for a new challenge, and was hired at SpaceX in August. The five women are informally known within their department as the “PSU group,” and they believe that their Penn State IE education was helpful in preparing them for their current roles.
Practicing gratitude can help ease holiday stress CONNIE COUSINS
“What do we have on the schedule today? Tim, you have practice until 5:30, but Lucy’s piano lesson was moved to 6 for today, so I’ll pick you up and we’ll take her to her teacher’s house. Then, we can grab a sandwich at the sub shop. Sound like a plan?” So begins a typical day in many households today. In many cases, both parents Connie Cousins are working.

Email her in all areas. at ccous67@gmail. How can families com. do it — keep the family unit strong and functioning with love and kindness as the holidays approach? As more activities and commitments are
added, impatience, frustration and anger may erupt. It has always been busier at this time of year, but why is it seemingly harder for families to enjoy the season or even enjoy each other these days? One reason may be that there are more blended families than ever before. Often there are two sets of parents, four sets of grandparents and assorted aunts, uncles and cousins on both sides of the family. All of their wishes and traditions come into play when planning any get-togethers. Single-parent families have a difficult path to travel with the same workload and less support. In addition, many single parents face financial difficulties. This adds to the worries about how to spend the holidays and how much to spend on gifts, food and travel. Then there is the simple fact that more sports, music and school activities are undertaken by this generation. Where once a kid may have picked a sport or a music lesson or a hobby, most children now have two, three or more social and school-related activities. That makes mealtime together almost a thing of the past. Many sports teams play on Sun-

days, so even going to church as a family is difficult. We watch Christmas and holiday specials on television and, although enjoyable — especially if they include kids and popcorn — they are not realistic. The homes are “Good Housekeeping” perfect and the people appear to have lots of time for ice skating and hot chocolate to round out their perfect day. Having presented a few of the reasons for stress, what can be said for solutions? How do you find the time to effectively communicate with your children and pass on the goodwill and generosity of the season? One answer that comes up in conversations with older friends is that, in earlier times, most families, perhaps yours, ate together. That was a time when most — if not all of the family — sat together, ate and reported on their day’s events. Some young families are striving to keep that tradition alive. Crockpot dinners and casseroles help make that easier, but it still takes effort. One mother, Danette Strouse, said, “We put the phones away, turn off the TV and talk about our day, good or bad. If
the activity schedules interfere, we do the best we can and make sure we get together on the weekend for meals together. “We find that when we can’t sit down together, we miss that time for conversation and closeness.” That brought memories to me of standing at the sink with my mother and doing the dishes. Those times were times for good conversation. Doing any type of chores with your kids can be a chance to share your thoughts about the holidays and how to do everything that you consider your most important traditions. You can let them vote on what should be kept in your schedules and what might be let go. Try taking one of them alone on an errand, and you may be surprised how much more one talks when without siblings. Most folks look forward to the coming holidays, but for many, traveling back home or to be with family is not anticipated with joy. For various reasons, the holidays are looming like something to be avoided. Gratitude, Page 11

What are some other things we can do to avoid the negative aspects of the season? Finding some time to do something for others can be a positive experience. Teach your kids generosity by involving them in a special project, deliver a meal to someone or shop together to buy gifts for needy children. The book “The Christmas Jar,” by Jason F. Wright, motivated one family to save their change for months and then deliver it anonymously to a needy family. The family contacted their elementary school to find a family who was in need. The experience was positive and they have continued to do it ever since. You can also practice gratitude, which will help you to be calmer and more able to relax during the next few weeks. Damp down the duties and ramp up the joy this season.

What are some ways you can deal with the stress of holiday and family get-togethers? It is helpful if you sort out what exactly gives you a sense of dread about family gatherings or parties. Once you recognize what triggers your discomfort, some ways to deal with it may emerge. With some people, going home or to be with people you grew up with brings back some not-so-happy memories. Your childhood may not have been that great and seeing brothers and sisters can bring bad memories. Maybe you lost a loved one recently and have not spent a holiday without that person before. All of these things can make approaching events troubling. The solution can be as simple as moving the reunion spot, or meeting at a neutral place that has no memories attached to it. If the cost of traveling to family is prohibitive, you might invite someone new to share a meal, either at your home or in a restaurant. Along the same line is the reminder that you do not have to have the most decorations, the fanciest cookies or the most elaborate meal to enjoy the holidays with family or friends. Concentrate on a dish or two that you’re good at and have others make the rest. Do a buffet or simply invite friends for dessert. Cut down, cut out and find what makes the holiday “special” for you. “There’s this idea that holiday gatherings with family are supposed to be joyful and stress-free,” said Dr. Ken Duckworth, medical director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, in a WebMD feature. “That’s not the case,” he said. “Family relationships are complicated. But that
doesn’t mean that the solution is to skip the holidays entirely.” Dr. Andrea Brandt, in an article from Psychology Today, had some excellent tips for coping with a difficult family situation. Some of her suggestions include: ■ Remind yourself that it’s not about you. “It’s normal to act like your 13-year-old self because that’s how you’re familiar with behaving around your family,” said Brandt. So don’t be too hard on yourself. Remind yourself that the way you interact with your family doesn’t reflect on who you are as an adult. ■ Practice mindfulness. If someone says something upsetting, excuse yourself and go off to have a few deep breaths or a walk. It’s not the time to explain why you’re hurt. Write down how you felt for a later conversation. ■ Escape when you can — come early, leave early. If you’re committed for a few days, break up the time by going out, seeing another friend or even going to a movie. You’ll return refreshed. ■ Plan responses in advance. That is the advice for the inevitable questions such as: Why aren’t you engaged, married, having kids, etc.? The sameness of the gatherings depresses some folks. People you wouldn’t spend time with the rest of the year are going to be there. So are the same foods, the same jokes, the same complaining. It takes an upbeat attitude and a sense of humor sometimes to handle all that. But, no one says you have to stay all day or take anyone’s insults at your gathering. Your immune system is under fire this time of year, the dark hours are longer and usually you are eating and drinking more.

Penn State study sheds light on ADHD diagnosis By VICTORIA M. INDIVERO
during a continuous motor task. This type of task provides us with more information than the dichotomous ‘yes/no’ response.” In a recent study using a continuous motor task, participants produced force with their index finger and thumb in response to cues on a visual display. Participants were instructed to produce force when the visual cue was any color except blue. In the “blue” trials, participants were told to withhold force production. Neely and colleagues found that participants with ADHD symptoms produced more force on trials when they were told to withhold a response, compared to those without ADHD. Further, the amount of force that was produced during these trials was correlated with specific ADHD-related symptoms. The researchers presented their findings at the annual Society for Neuroscience meeting Nov. 15. “The use of a precise and continuous motor task provides a more nuanced understanding of inhibitory control, compared to a button-press task,” said Neely. “We found that young adults with ADHD produced more force on the ‘blue’ trials compared to young adults without ADHD. And the amount of force produced was related to self-report of ADHD-related symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Moving forward, we will manipulate the parameters of our forceproduction task to determine which aspects of motor control are related to specific symptoms.” Understanding the impact of particular types of ADHD and their effect on motor

Young adults diagnosed with attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder may display subtle physiological signs that could lead to a more precise diagnosis, according to Penn State researchers. In a recent study, young adults with ADHD, when performing a continuous motor task, had more difficulty inhibiting a motor response compared to young adults who did not have ADHD. The participants with ADHD also produced more force during the task compared to participants without the disorder. ADHD is a common childhood disorder that can continue to affect up to 65 percent of these children as they become adults, according to the researchers. “A large group of individuals have the label ‘ADHD,’ but present with different symptoms,” said Kristina A. Neely, assistant professor, kinesiology. “One of the goals of our ADHD research is to discover unique physiological signals that may characterize different subgroups of the disorder.” Previous studies have shown that some individuals with ADHD may have poor control of their motor systems, but until recently, the way that it was measured was not very sensitive. “In previous tasks, motor and cognitive function was evaluated with a keypress response: You hit the button or you didn’t,” said Neely. “We measure precisely how much force an individual is producing

Professor: Creativity flows best when rested By KEVIN SLIMAN Penn State News
UNIVERSITY PARK — Sleeping well is often cited as a key method of improving one’s health and well-being. But when the challenges of life require more hours in the day than a person has available, sleep is often sacrificed. “If you are sleeping at a regular time, you don’t need an alarm clock to get up, and you feel rested, then you are probably getting enough sleep,” said Orfeu Buxton, associate professor of biobehavioral health at Penn State. “Unfortunately, that is probably the minority of people.” According to Buxton, many of us have too many demands on our time, and there is not enough time to get sleep and do the things that we have to do. “Generally, people would say that they feel better and are probably a better person when they’ve slept,” Buxton said. “If that’s the case, why do so few of us actually get enough sleep?” The reason, he suggests, is that most people do not have sleep as a foundational priority in their life. Consider the teen who answers texts through the night or the middle-aged adult who watches TV late into the night. “Don’t look at it as giving up activities for sleep,” Buxton said. “That is framing it
incorrectly.” For behavior change to stick, it has to be associated with a positive outcome. For example, getting better sleep must be strongly associated with feeling better the next day, Buxton said. “Conversely, if you’re really tired ORFEU BUXTON one day, associate it with an earlier behavior, such as staying out late,” Buxton said. “When people don’t get enough sleep, they have more stressors and negative things occur the next day. It’s probably not just bad luck.” Buxton acknowledged that it is not always simple. Sometimes the things that keep people awake are serious challenges that individuals face daily, such as working three jobs to pay the bills or worrying about neighborhood crime. However, when people can adjust their priorities, they should, he said. “Priorities define who you are,” Buxton said. “The greatest accomplishments in life are not carrying the muddy pack up the hill. They’re creative endeavors or interpersonal moments. And those are best experienced rested.”

Fear of weight gain may influence contraception choices Special to the Gazette HERSHEY — Concerns about weight gain may be driving contraception choices, according to Penn State College of Medicine researchers. Women who are overweight or obese are less likely than normal-weight women to use the birth control pill and other hormonal contraceptive methods, according to a press release from the college. Weight gain is one of the most commonly cited reasons why women stop using hormonal contraception, and therefore may play a role in the risk of unintended pregnancies, said Dr. Cynthia H. Chuang, professor of medicine and public health sciences. Although oral contraception likely does not cause weight gain, many women attribute increasing weight with the birth control pill. The birth control shot has been associated with weight gain in younger women. Chuang and her co-researchers wanted to learn if women’s weight or their perception of weight influenced the type of birth control they used, if any. To do so, they examined demographic and survey data from almost 1,000 privately insured women in Pennsylvania. The researchers categorized weight category based on body mass index, a measure of body size based on height and weight. They determined that overweight and obese women were more likely than normal weight women to choose forms of birth control known as long-acting reversible contraceptives, and less likely to use methods like the pill, the shot, the patch
and the ring. There was also a trend toward overweight and obese women to be more likely to use non-prescription methods such as condoms, withdrawal and natural family planning or no method, compared with normal weight women. They report their results in the journal Contraception. Long-acting reversible contraceptives include intrauterine devices, commonly known as IUDs, and the contraceptive implant. LARCs do not contain estrogen, which the researchers theorized may be driving higher use in overweight and obese women. “What we think may be happening is that women who are overweight and obese may be more likely to choose methods other than the pill or the shot because of fear of weight gain,” Chuang said. “As a result, they are choosing both more effective methods (LARCs) and less effective, non-prescription methods.” Researchers found that 23 percent of overweight and 21 percent of obese women used LARCs, which are the most effective forms of birth control. In contrast, only 6 percent of under-weight and normal-weight women used LARCs in the study. “We were actually glad to see that overweight and obese women were at least more likely to choose LARCs because I was expecting to see these women more likely to use non-prescription methods,” Chuang said. Heavier women were more likely than normal-weight women to use less-effective non-prescription birth control methods — such as condoms — or no method
at all. However, these results did not reach statistical significance, Chuang said. The researchers also evaluated whether perception of weight influenced contraceptive choice. In the study, half of the women perceived themselves to be overweight, although only around 42 percent of them were overweight or obese based on BMI. This perception, however, did not appear to influence birth control choice. Chuang said physicians should be aware that overweight and obese women may be concerned about weight gain when choosing contraception, but that should be an opportunity to try to steer them toward the most effective methods — LARCs — and away from the less effective nonprescription methods.
“Women may be worried about weight gain when they’re making decisions about birth control, so clinicians need to be aware of that,” she said. “It could be an opportunity to counsel women about LARCs, which are more effective forms of contraception.” Other researchers on this project were Kalpesh Bhuva and Erik B. Lehman, Department of Public Health Sciences; and Jennifer L. Kraschnewski, Division of General Internal Medicine and Department of Public Health Sciences. A Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute Program Award funded this research. Penn State Clinical and Translational Science Institute supported this research.

Project brings STEM education to rural areas By JESSICA BUTERBAUGH Penn State Live
UNIVERSITY PARK — Rural families will have the opportunity to learn from local science, technology, engineering and mathematics experts thanks to a new partnership among Penn State and area businesses, libraries and museums. Funded by a $588,890 Institute of Museum and Library Services grant, STEM Pillars is a two-year project out of the College of Education’s Learning, Design and Technology program that will bring five hands-on, inquiry-based workshops to the Centre County region for families with elementary-aged children. “We’ve partnered with public libraries and two museums — Discovery Space of Central Pennsylvania and Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center — to develop materials and to host these workshops,” said Heather Toomey Zimmerman, associate professor of education and principal investigator for the project. “We’ll also work with scientists from different organizations and businesses around the area who will lead the family workshops and talk about the work that they do.” The workshops will cover five different themes — engineering, water quality, meteorology, botany and astronomy — and will each be about 60 to 90 minutes long. Scientists from Actuated Medical Inc., Garden Genetics,Huntingdon County Conservation District, Kumjian research group, Palma research group and Perdew research group will teach the hands-on workshops and also share their personal stories about how they became interested in science and what led them to their careers. “Part of this grant is hearing the stories of scientists and demonstrating how interests or hobbies that you have as a child could lead to a career as a scientist,” said Lucy McClain, a co-principal investigator for the project who also is the science and education program director for Shaver’s Creek. “Instead of viewing all scientists as wearing white lab coats, kids can see science in its many different realms.” Michele Crowl, co-PI and director of education at Discovery Space, said she routinely hears young students say that they want to be scientists when they grow up. “But they don’t actually know what that means,” she said, adding that young children tend to generalize science based on their perceptions. “STEM Pillars is a way to show them that literally in their community, there is scientific research being done and that there are engineers who are solving problems every day in their community.”
MAKING SCIENCE MATTER
Zimmerman, McClain and Crowl will design the workshops following a personally relevant learning model, an approach that focuses on topics that are important to the communities in which people live. “The idea in science education is that there are these
national standards that can help guide schools and that’s important,” Zimmerman said. “So, we wonder how can you take these national standards and make a genuine connection to people’s everyday lives? That’s what this project is trying to do — it’s trying to personalize science for families in a way that it becomes interesting to them by showing how science is important to the local community.” Helping families understand why science affects their everyday lives with regard to civic engagement is an important element of the program. “In our area and rural Appalachia in general, we have unique environment and scientific challenges,” Zimmerman said. “People are facing questions regarding water quality and the effects of gas drilling. We have issues now with pollinators and one native bumblebee possibly becoming an endangered species. What does that mean for the farming community when the pollinators are declining?” Because STEM Pillars is a family-focused project, it is the hope of the researchers that the workshops will not only spark children’s interests in science but also generate family conversations about science topics that are important within their own community. “This is a family workshop,” Zimmerman said. “It’s not just a workshop for kids. While the target audience is kids ages 6 to 10, children and parents will attend the workshops together. “We want to help both parent and child have a common experience so that they can then talk about it when they see a news article or read something on the Internet,” she said. “It’s about understanding what a scientist actually does,” Crowl added. “So if they’re watching the weather on TV, for example, they know that meteorologists are not just given a script to read. They’re actually using data to talk about the weather patterns. And I think those little things can be eye-opening for kids.”
KEEPING IT LOCAL
Zimmerman said she was drawn to this project because of the emphasis placed on local, rural communities. A former museum and environmental educator, she said she understands firsthand how important museums and libraries are to the learning process. Unfortunately, many rural families cannot easily take advantage of the large museums and zoos found in cities. Instead, rural families use smaller informal learning institutions such as libraries, nature centers and community-based museums. “There’s a real gap in our education literature about how rural families learn in their everyday lives,” she said, adding that the majority of museum literature studies urban families. “Forty-two percent of the people who live in this area are rural and there’s a great need in rural Appalachia to develop materials to support learning outside the school in small, community-based organizations.”
Bald Eagle gets safety grant WINGATE — The Bald Eagle Area School District will receive a grant of nearly $22,000 for equipment, electronic lock sets and cameras through the Pennsylvania Department of Education’s Office of Safe Schools grant program, state Rep. Mike Hanna, D-Lock Haven, announced. The funding is part of $6.5 million in competitive grants being awarded for the training and compensation of school resource officers and police officers. The grant is to be used to prevent and reduce violent incidents through programs and security equipment, according to Hanna.

STUDENTS HELP dissect a pig’s heart as part of a summer program offered by Discovery Space of Central Pennsylvania. To meet that need, the STEM Pillars research team will work with educational partners such as Schlow Library, Huntingdon County Library and Centre County Library, as well as Shaver’s Creek and Discovery Space, and will travel to different locations throughout the Centre region. “For many rural communities, it’s maybe not feasible for families to visit museums,” McClain said. “So one of our goals is to take the programs to these families and we’re looking at different sites within their communities so that they’re able to participate.” “One aspect that’s really neat about this project is that the money from this grant is staying local,” Zimmerman added. “It is staying in Huntingdon and Centre counties to support people in this area with STEM programming.” The research team, which also includes Penn State associate professor of education Susan Land and graduate student Soo Hyeon Kim, plans to implement the first set of workshops in the spring of 2017 and then evaluate the programs by collecting data from participants in the form of surveys, interviews and videos. “Once we study the workshops, we’ll go back and rework them and implement them again in the late fall or early winter,” Zimmerman said, explaining that the workshops will be offered four times throughout the two-year period and will be evaluated and reworked continually. “By the fourth time, we’ll have a really good set of workshops that have the research behind them that says what works, how they work and why they work. We can then share and disseminate that information to other libraries and museums in rural areas. “Our libraries and museums have great tools,” she said. “But we need to make sure they also have research-based resources that they can use to strengthen what they already do.”
CAREER FAIR
“Educators and students deserve to work and learn in safe environments,” said Hanna. “This grant program provides schools with resources they so desperately need to ensure a healthy, safe and secure learning environment.” PDE’s Office of Safe Schools grant offers school entities the opportunity to apply for competitive funding up to $25,000. The program works to fund programs that address school safety and violence through the use of security-related equipment.

OLVCS family rallies to support former student Special to the Gazette STATE COLLEGE — This past spring, R.J. Shirey, a 2014 graduate of Our Lady of Victory Catholic School and now a junior at State College Area High School, was involved in a serious hunting accident that resulted in several surgeries and ultimately an amputation of one leg above the knee. During these trying months, the faculty, staff, students and families of OLVCS have kept Shirey and his family in their prayers. Now, the whole school is making a strong fundraising effort to support the family, which has racked up expenses because of frequent hospital trips, numerous surgeries and the purchase of Shirey’s prosthetic leg. Language arts teacher Andrea Brandimarte and art teacher Heather McQueary are leading the effort, and students are eager about the opportunity to help Shirey. According to a press release from the school, Brandimarte said the fundraising builds upon the values students are being taught every day at OLVCS.
“We’re always teaching our students to show kindness and compassion for others,” she said, “even something as small as smiling and striking up a conversation with a student sitting alone at lunch. What we’re doing for R.J. is one more way for our students to put the values they’re learning into practice to help others.” To deepen their understanding of Shirey’s situation, students are engaging in conversations about the science involved with prosthetic legs, as well as the emotions involved in such an injury, during science class with Lisa Groves. During the annual OLV Day in October, students brainstormed ideas for fundraising, and now three of the many ideas are being put into motion: ■ Polar Express Family Movie Night, Friday, Dec. 2 Families can come to the school to view this favorite holiday film. All profits from admissions will benefit Shirey. ■ Middle school dance for OLV students
Typically profits from admissions and the concession stand fund school activities. However, the proceeds from this particular dance in February will go to Shirey’s family. ■ Additional dress down day The school will be offering an additional dress down day in February for students who donate to the fund for Shirey. The proceeds from these events will be donated to the Shirey family in March. “While we can’t raise an extravagant amount of money, we’re still able to make an impact on R.J.’s family,” Brandimarte said. The school’s theme for OLV Day, its annual day of service, was this advice from St. Teresa of Calcutta, “Do small things with great love.” In that spirit, faculty, staff and students are embracing the impact that they can make, no matter how small. Regardless of the money raised, the Shirey family is thankful for the outpouring of support. “I want to thank you with all my heart for helping us,” Kristin Shirey, R.J.’s mom, told Brandimarte.
R.J. SHIREY is a 2014 graduate of Our Lady of Victory Catholic School who is now a junior at State College Area High School. OLV has been planning fundraisers to assist Shirey, who was injured in a hunting accident.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State is in the process of updating restroom facilities at University Park, as well as restroom signage across the university to expand the number of “all-gender” restrooms and ensure they are clearly labeled. The initiative follows a study of existing restrooms in the core campus at University Park. In addition to ensuring the availability of restrooms for transgender and other individuals who feel most comfortable using single-user restrooms, the change will provide barrier-free, single-user facilities throughout the campus. This move offers members of the Penn State community and visitors with accommodating facilities for themselves and their families. Deborah Howard, director of facilities resources and planning, said the decision to offer additional all-gender restrooms and improve signage was made in consultation with the University’s Facility Resources Committee. “Penn State is committed to providing a safe and inclusionary environment for all students, employees and visitors, and will continue to strive to expand these efforts,” Howard said. In the next month, the university will begin converting 57 single-person restrooms at University Park that had been specifically designated for men or women to allgender facilities. The restrooms will be clearly labeled with “All Gender Restroom” signs.
Additionally, over the upcoming year, the university will change the signs on more than 400 existing all gender restrooms across University Park and the Commonwealth Campuses so they have consistent “All Gender Restroom” signage. A listing of where all-gender restrooms are located at University Park is being compiled and can be found on the Student Affairs’ LGBTQA website, https://studentaffairs.psu.edu/lgbtqa/campusresources.shtml, along with a map. “It is important for universities to provide ‘all gender’ restrooms because they provide a safe and accommodating place for gender-variant individuals to use,” said Allison Subasic, director of the LGBTQA Resource Center. “There are many people who do not fit into the binary boxes of male and female, and are questioned by others when they use the restroom that corresponds to their identity. They may or may not be gender variant, but they should be safe on campus when they need to use a restroom.” Subasic noted that, under federal guidance, universities may not discriminate on the basis of gender identity in the use of restrooms on campus. “Penn State is working hard to label all of these restrooms with the new ‘All Gender’ signs, and we, as an institution, are very supportive of all of our LGBTQA students, staff and faculty,” Subasic said.
Writer offered a ringside seat for Pennsylvania’s elk hunts MARK NALE
Back in 1999, I was bouncing along over a rough gravel road in a pickup with thenPennsylvania Game Commission elk biologist Rawley Cogan. Cogan was giving several writers and me a tour of a new addition to the Keystone State’s elk range in the northcentral part of the state. That is when Cogan popped the question. “Mark, what would Retired biology you think of a Pennteacher Mark sylvania elk huntNale writes about ing season?” Cogan hunting, fishing asked. “Do you think and other natural that hunters would be pursuits. He is the excited about it?” former president of the Pennsylvania I was excited, and Outdoor Writers I assured him that Association. other hunters would Email him at be, too. He told me markangler@aol. that the elk herd had com. grown enough for a limited season to be held, that a hunt was in the planning stages.
The first elk season was held in 2001, with 30 permits offered. Cogan moved on to found the Keystone Elk Country Alliance, a conservation group that supports education, habitat and elk research here in Pennsylvania. His group also runs the Elk Country Visitor Center near Benezette. The elk hunt continues, with more than 30,000 hunters applying for their chance at an elk tag in the drawing held each year during late summer. This year’s hunt, the 16th, offered 124 tags — 99 for antlerless elk and 25 bull tags. I have covered the elk hunt for several newspapers since the beginning. Along the way, I have interviewed successful hunters at the check station, visited a kill site with the Game Commission and once helped Elk County Outfitters drag a bull elk out of the woods. A unique opportunity came knocking four-and-a-half years ago when Trophy Rack Lodge co-owner Larry Guenot asked if I would be interested in accompanying one of his bull elk permit holders during the hunt. Trophy Rack is the only elk guiding service located in Centre County. Without hesitation, my answer was a big “yes.” This fall marked my fourth year Elk, Page 16

TWO BULL ELK walk across an opening during a recent hunt. Elk, from page 15 of experiencing the elk hunt in a way that very few people get to — side-by-side with the hunter and guide. Guides have self-imposed pressure to provide a successful hunt. The tag holder wants to enjoy the hunt, but also does not want to blow his or her once-in-a-lifetime chance to harvest a Pennsylvania elk. Me — well, I have the best deal of all — no pressure and only fun. Thanks to Guenot and his guides, and with the gracious permission of his hunters, I have seen elk antlers silhouetted against an early-morning lavender sky, watched bulls spar, hiked in to remote locations, and shared the excitement with a hunter as he attempted to harvest a bull elk with a handgun. Each of the first three years has been different — offering new and interesting experiences. I have learned a lot about elk and elk country, too. This season was no exception. I accompanied Guenot, hunter Steve Winter and his cousin Dave Shupe — who was to record video of the hunt. Winter had a permit for Elk Hunt Zone 12 — just across the Centre County line — in Clearfield, Clinton and Cameron counties. He hoped for a chance to score with a bow and arrow — his preferred hunting method. Winter, a former competition archer, has been so successful with his compound bow that he has not taken a whitetail with a rifle for over 20 years. However, he assured his guide that if a trophy bull was out of archery range, he would use his rifle. We checked out a food plot just before legal shooting hours, then drove through what the locals refer to as “the Refuge” near Karthaus — an area that is off-limits to hunting. There, we saw several small bulls, a few cows and calves. The legal shooting time of 7:17 arrived, and we spotted a large solitary bull in a field along Rolling Stone Road. Guenot recommended that his client hold out for a bigger bull. “We’ll try for this one later in the week if we don’t have success at finding a bigger bull,” Guenot said. At about 7:40, we spotted three bulls feeding on a natural gas pipeline off of the Caledonia Pike. They all looked big to me, but one was nice — real nice. Guenot parked his pickup about 500 yards away and out of sight from the elk. Winter grabbed both his bow and his Remington Model 700, and we began the stalk.

Winter, Guenot and Shupe attempted to close in on the bulls’ position. I hung back a little, not wanting to negatively impact the hunt. The bulls were spotted and quickly spotted us. Immediately, very wary, they started to increase their distance from the hunters. Winter abandoned his bow when it became obvious that a bow shot was going to be out of the question. The huge bull was way out there when Winter placed his Model 700 on the bipod and pointed it toward the elk. His guide whispered, “Shoot. That is a 400-class bull.” Seconds ticked by, but no shot followed — Winter’s glasses had fogged up, hampering his ability to see. The big bull was nervous and moved farther away down the pipeline. Glasses cleared — the bull was broadside — and Winter’s 7mm cracked. The 8x9 elk circled and appeared to drop into the frost-covered grass and clover at about 7:55. Then, we saw a bull walk into the woods. Not knowing for sure what had happened, we waited. Shupe replayed the video and all agreed that it looked like a good hit. Fifteen minutes later, we walked to where we thought that the elk had been standing — no blood, no hair, no elk — and just a little disappointment. As we moved farther along the pipeline, Winter spotted an antler sticking up from a depression. The bull was dead. Winter’s hit was perfect, and Guenot’s range finder later determined the shot to be 346 yards. “That was just an incredible shot,” remarked Shupe. “I knew that Steve was excellent with a bow, but I didn’t know that he was so skilled with a rifle.” At the check station, Winter’s bull green-scored 4066/8 and weighed 824 pounds — the heaviest elk weighed this year. At the time, Winter’s bull was also the highestscoring bull, but it was later topped by two other bulls. Josh Fuqua’s 8x9 bull green-scored 418-6/8. Fuqua, from Clymer, Indiana County, killed his bull on the third day of the hunt. The second-highest-scoring bull was taken on Oct. 31, by Donald Newman, of Andreas. It weighed 776 pounds and had an 8-by-9 rack that green-scored 407-2/8 inches — only a half-inch bigger than Winter’s bull. Although the excitement is over for this year, my memories will be there forever. I, along with over 30,000 others, eagerly look forward to next fall’s hunt and more thrilling experiences in Pennsylvania’s elk country.

In the world of vintage and antique collectibles, the mid-century modern market continues to attract and retain enthusiastic collectors. “Mid-century modern” is the term used to characterize the period of design extending roughly from 1933 to 1965. It evolved out of “moderne” trends — think Raymond Lowey’s Studebaker and Kelvinator’s streamlined refrigerators — but really took off after World War II. As more and more “atomic ranch” homes came to be built in urban neighborhoods, middle-class families sought similarly styled furnishings. Modern designers were more than happy to accommodate them, creating wares that made the family home an informal and colorful place, with an emphasis on organic, or themed-fromnature, motifs. There are many aspects of this design period, from architecture and automobiles to furniture, textiles and toys. Four of the many women designers who were creating bright, colorful housewares that were mass-manufactured for the modern home were: Kay Hackett, for Stangl Pottery, of Trenton, N.J.; Grete Prytz Kittelsen, for CathrineHolm, of Norway; Eva Zeisel, for Red Wing Pottery, the Museum of Modern Art and Castleton China; and Frances Higgins, for Higginsware, Chicago. Products created by these four are highly collectible. Stangl Pottery was one of the most prolific manufacturers of mid-century dishware, offering many lines distinguished by their vivid, playful, and sometimes unusual designs. Kay Hackett, as one of Stangl’s main designers, was responsible for many of the patterns still popular with collectors today, including the thistle, magnolia, AmberGlo and blueberry patterns. During her employment at Stangl, Hackett designed at least 40 dinnerware patterns that were put into production and more than 100 miscellaneous novelty and artware items. Many collectors today consider them the most prized of all Stangl products.

The Blonde Cucina: Try these Thanksgiving side dishes CIARA SEMACK
Folks, Thanksgiving is Thursday, Nov. 24. And, if you haven’t planned your menu yet, I’m here to help you be that clutch player in the last few minutes of the Thanksgiving preparation game. Not only are these items simple, easy and quick, they are not from your grandma’s Thanksgiving table. Don’t get me wrong: I love the slow-roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, cranberry relish, green bean casserole and gravy, gravy, gravy! However, we need to realize not everyone’s table has to look the same. I’ll be attending Thanksgiving Ciara Semack is dinner at the home of Uncle Denthe owner of The nis and Aunt Trudi.

I was talking with a friend about Thanksgiving, and he and I have similar tastes, but he threw me a curveball when it came to his holiday menu. He told me he must take his own hot/Buffalo sauce when he attends Thanksgiving dinner, because his family doesn’t have that condiment. That didn’t surprise me — he puts Buffalo wing sauce and balsamic vinegar on a lot of his food. What made me shake my head, though, was when he said he wasn’t a gravy person. Again, it just shows you that not every Thanksgiving meal is the same. Housewares, from page 16 Some of those patterns, such as the thistle, command high prices if items are in good condition; her lines of children’s dishware with nursery rhyme, train and airplane and kitten/puppy images, among others, are harder to find and very desirable among collectors as well. Grete Prytz Kittelsen, born Margrethe Adelgunde Prytz in Norway, is best known for her colorful and organic enamelware created for CathrineHolm. A goldsmith, enamel artist and designer, Kittelsen is one of the bestknown Norwegians in the Scandinavian Design movement. Perhaps most popular among collectors is the line of brightly colored enamel kitchen and serving ware created for CathrineHolm — most familiar to collectors are the bowls, pots and chargers that have a repeating lotus leaf design along the exteriors, but sometimes also stripes and plain, bold colors without decoration. One way to tell whether an item is a genuine CathrineHolm is the etched company label found only under pot lids. Condition is very important to collectors — extensive chipping, surface marks and discolorations can affect value and prices, as can colors. Red, orange and yellow are desirable; blue and black examples are harder to find and thus more valuable. A “maker of useful things,” Eva Zeisel was a Hungarianborn designer who created modern porcelain for Stratoware, Castleton, Red Wing and Hall China. For Castleton, she created lines known as “Museum” and “Castleton White,” manufactured and sold for several decades, initially in all-white as designed by Zeisel, and later with a wide variety of decorations. That success led to a relationship with Red Wing Potteries, for whom she designed the biomorphic “Town and Country” line, and then to a commission from the Hall China Company to create her most popular lines, “Tomorrow’s Classic” and “Century.” Zeisel’s work tends to be either all-white, with a simple, organic image at the object’s center, or colorful and without decoration, as with the “Town and Country” line.

Checking with a reference such as Miller’s Antiques Marks is handy here to be sure you’re purchasing a period example and not a newer one. Stratoware is the hardest to find, especially in good condition. With her husband Michael, Frances Higgins was a pioneer in the rediscovery and refinement of the ancient art of glass fusing. The Higgins’ studio first operated out of their Chicago apartment, with kilns set up behind the sofa. Everyday items, such as bowls and plates, were transformed through an arresting mix of geometric and curved lines and bold use of color into objects still useful, yet also visually vibrant and exciting. Promoted as “an exclamation point in your decorating scheme,” the unique blend of artistry and practicality that Higgins glassware offered quickly attracted buyers. Working round-the-clock in split shifts, the Higgins met ever-increasing orders from such major retailers as Marshall Field’s, Georg Jensen and Bullock’s Wilshire. In

Vets receive Quilts of Valor in Spring Mills ceremony By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
SPRING MILLS — On Nov. 13, four military veterans from the Penns Valley area were awarded Quilts of Valor by the local chapter of the Quilts of Valor organization. Two pairs of fathers and sons, all named Royer, received their quilts in a ceremony at Salem United Church of Christ near Spring Mills. Carl Wendell Royer and his son Shane, as well as Kenneth Royer and his son Dennis, were presented with their quilts by Carolyn Foust and Nancy Wagner, representatives of Happy Valley Quilts of Valor. Carl Wendell Royer entered the U.S. Air Force in January 1951 and served as an aircraft mechanic. In 1952, he was deployed to the Korean conflict and served there for one year. He was discharged in 1954, and
joined the U.S. Army Reserve in 1955. Carl Royer served a total of 30 years, retiring in 1981. He was awarded numerous medals during his service, including the Korean Service Medal with three bronze stars. At the Quilts of Valor ceremony, he was presented with the Ambassador for Peace medal, which has been belatedly awarded to American soldiers by the South Korean government. Royer’s son Shane joined the military in November 1982 as a motor transport operator, serving with various Army Reserve units in this area, one being the 484th Service Company in Lewistown, where he was deployed in support of Operation Desert Storm. Shane Royer also served with the 629th Transportation Company in Clearfield, where he was deployed in 2003 and 2004 in support of Operation Enduring/Iraqi Free-

TWO SETS of fathers and sons recently received Quilts of Valor for their military service. Pictured, from left, are Kenneth Royer, Carl Wendell Royer, Kenneth’s son Dennis Royer and Carl Wendell’s son Shane Royer. dom. Royer retired in 2004 with 22 years of service. He was awarded 16 different medals during his service. Lt. Col. Kenneth Royer entered the Air Force cadet program in April 1953. He was ordered to active duty as a commissioned officer in 1954, and served until his retirement in 1973. He served 18 months in Vietnam in support of the Vietnam conflict. During his tenure of service, he was awarded nine medals including the Distinguished Flying Cross. Maj. Dennis Royer, Kenneth Royer’s son, joined the Air Force in August 1979 and served on active duty until his retirement in August 1999. He had served as a command and control officer and air battlement adjutant, as well as a member of the Space and Missile Operations Air Missile Combat Crew. He was deployed in support of Operation Desert Storm and was awarded 13 medals. “This quilt brings you a three-part message from our hearts,” said Wagner to the recipients. “First, we honor your service. We honor you for leaving all you hold dear to stand in harm’s way in a time of crisis.
“Second, we know that freedom is not free. The cost of our freedom is the dedication of lives of men and women like you. “Lastly, this quilt is made to comfort you and to remind you that you are forever in our thoughts and hearts.” Each Quilt of Valor is fitted with a label with the recipient’s name, and the name of the person who made the quilt. According to its website, Catherine Roberts began the Quilts of Valor Foundation in 2003 in Seaford, Del. Her son’s year-long deployment to Iraq inspired her to see that returning warriors were welcomed home with the love and gratitude they deserved. She hit upon the idea that linking quilt-toppers with machine quilters in a national effort could achieve her goal of covering all returning service men and women touched by war. These wartime quilts, called Quilts of Valor, would be a tangible reminder of America’s appreciation and gratitude. Since 2003, QOVF has become a national grassroots community service effort, connecting the home front with warriors and veterans. More than 125,000 quilts have been awarded by the QOVF.

MICHIGAN STATE VS. PENN STATE ■ 3:30 PM
■
TV: ESPN
By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State got off to another slow start Nov. 19 at Rutgers, and to make matters worse, the Nittany Lions muffed the opening kickoff and turned it over to the Scarlet Knights. They were also denied a second-quarter touchdown when they were stopped cold on a fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line. That’s the bad news. In fact, that is pretty much all of the bad news in the Lions’ resolute 39-0 victory over Rutgers at High Point Stadium in Piscataway, N.J. The Nittany Lion defense held Rutgers to five first downs and a paltry 87 yards of offense, the special teams blocked another kick, and the offense came alive in the second half to eventually total 549 yards in the game. After leading by just 9-0 at the half, Penn State scored 16 in the third period — impelled by Juwan Johnson’s block of a Rutger’s punt — and then finished out with touchdowns by Mark Allen and Tommy Stevens to wrap up the victory. It was Penn State’s seventh win in a row and increases the Lions’ record to 9-2 for the season. It also sets up the first nationally significant contest in the James Franklin era when Michigan State visits Saturday, Nov. 26, in the final Big Ten regular-season game for both teams. “I don’t really want to go into the locker room and say we’re a second-half team,” Franklin said, “but in times like this it’s nice to go in and say we’re a second-half team. Guys responded well. “That opening possession fumble wasn’t ideal. We’ve had a number of situations this year where I guess some teams, coaches and coaching staffs could panic. We’ve just been in this situation so many times that the players believe in each other and the coaches believe in the guys. We’re going to battle for four quarters. “This is a crazy game. I think we’ve all seen this across the country the past couple of weeks. It’s not always going to be
pretty and you’re going to have to play for four quarters. “We don’t ever expect it to be easy. We expect to go and fight four quarters to see what happens.” Those expectations about playing for all four quarters will no doubt be very helpful, beginning with this week’s showdown against Michigan State and continuing through whatever transpires beyond that. After being a game away from the college football playoff last season, Michigan State’s plunge to a 3-8 team was as quick as it was disappointing to everyone involved in Lansing, Mich. The Spartans began the season 2-0 after going into Notre Dame and taking out the Irish, 36-28, in Week 2 and looked ready to make another run for it all. But reality set in the next week in their Big Ten opener with Wisconsin. The Badgers tough defense shut down Michigan State in the 30-6 win and they also wiped out whatever confidence the Spartans built up in their first two games. After that game, Michigan State did not win in the Big Ten until two weeks ago at Rutgers — a seven-game losing streak in all. The low points in that stretch included losses to Maryland, 2817, Indiana, 24-21, and Illinois, 31-27. After the Illinois loss, there must have been some deep soul searching among the players and coaches, because the team has played much more like the Michigan State we’re familiar with in the past two weeks. Against Rutgers on Nov. 12, the Spartans rolled up 35 unanswered points in the first half and went on to squash the Knights, 49-0. Then, on Nov. 19, MSU had Ohio State on the ropes on Senior Night at home. The Spartans scored what could have been the tying touchdown with 4:41 left when L.J. Scott went in from the 1-yard line.
But instead of kicking the tying extra point, MSU went for a two-point conversion and the win. Unfortunately, Tyler O’Connor’s pass was intercepted in the end zone, and Ohio State hung on for a 17-16 victory. It would have been the third time in four years that Michigan State upended Buckeye national-title hopes. This week, MSU will try to build on those two solid performances, and of course it will once again try to play the

spoiler, this time against the Nittany Lions. Looking just at the statistics, Michigan State is not nearly as bad as its record says it is. The Spartans have outgained their opponents on the ground and in the air and have a 400yard edge in total offense. Scott leads a running attack that gains 178 yards every game, and he has 935 yards and six touchdowns so far. Five other backs have over 100 yards running as well, with Gerald Holmes following Scott with 408. O’Connor has completed 60 percent of his passes for 1,852 yards (185 per game) and 16 touchdowns. He’s been intercepted nine times, but he still has a 143 efficiency rating. R.J. Shelton is the No. 1 receiver with 48 catches for 715 yards and five scores, but Joe Price and Donnie Corley are right behind with 324 and 420 yards respectively. Part of the problem for MSU might be that the team has committed 24 more penalties that its opponents, and O’Connor has been sacked 23 times. Another problem, perhaps most telling of all, is that the Spartans have been outscored 182 to 136 in the second half. The bottom line is that Michigan State High stakes, Page 20

Good, bad and ugly: Rutgers, weather sent folks home early ■ The good — The Penn State defense outdid itself against Rutgers. The Lions gave up just five first downs, 87 yards of offense and 39 net yards rushing. After Rutgers recovered a Penn State muff to begin the game at the Penn State 19-yard line, the Knights never got close to scoring again. Throw in numerous hits and hurries (and two fumbles) of the Rutgers’ quarterbacks, and it was a dominating performance. Juwan Johnson’s blocked punt, as if on cue, led to Penn State’s first touchdown of the game and a two-score Nittany Lion lead. In fact, all of the Penn State special teams, on a very tough night for football, turned in solid performances. ■ The bad — The Rutgers offense has been shut out the last two weeks and has struggled most of the season. It was no match for the PSU defense on Nov. 19, especially in the miserable weather conditions at High Point Solutions Stadium. There are some play makers there, but like Penn State at times over the past two seasons, the offensive line isn’t giving them the time or the space to do anything. It is impossible to know how Rutgers thought it could get away with putting a net in front of the goal posts before a field goal try by Penn State’s Tyler Davis. Fortunately, the sharp-eyed officials saw it and had it removed. ■ The ugly — The weather. It had to have looked far worse on television than it actually was, but by midway through the fourth quarter, there were only about five people left in the home stands. Wind, cold, rain, sleet and snow do not make for a comfortable evening sitting outside. If the game would have been played at noon, the weather would have been sunny and in the mid-60s. That’s probably why Rutgers’ head coach Chris Ash didn’t even wear a hat.
Associated Press
FANS, most of them for Penn State, stand in hail and rain as they cheer during the second half of the Nittany Lions’ 39-0 win over Rutgers on Nov. 19 in Piscataway, N.J. High stakes, from page 19 would like nothing better than to pull off a signature win against Penn State, even though they are far out of the running for a bowl game and have little else to play for beside pride. Penn State, on the other hand, finds itself playing week to week in bigger and more important games—and

this one, because of its implications for the No. 8 Lions, is the biggest one yet. A win, coupled with an Ohio State victory over Michigan, would send Penn State to the Big Ten Championship Game in Indianapolis. Can’t get much bigger than that. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. at Beaver Stadium.

Fifteen points show why Tyler Davis is Franklin’s MVP By MIKE POORMAN statecollege.com
PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Tyler Davis scored 15 points for Penn State against Rutgers on Nov. 19. It wasn’t easy — new holder, poor snap, late hold, mighty gusts, sheets of rain, blowing backdrops. But, he delivered at High Point Solutions Stadium, just like that old USPS line: Neither snow nor rain nor gloom of night kept this courier from the swift completion of his appointed rounds. “That guy is unbelievable,” Penn State coach James Franklin said after the Nittany Lions won 39-0 to go 9-2 (7-1 in the Big Ten East), to set up the Saturday, Nov. 26, game against Michigan State in Beaver Stadium. “If you had to name an MVP right now, it would probably be him. I’m really proud of that guy.” This is how Davis got it done: ■ A 32-yard field goal into the wind, bad snap; a 34-yard field goal into vicious wind, on the laces. ■ A 40-yard field goal with the wind. ■ PAT. A 32-yard field goal through driving rain and sleet. ■ PAT, PAT. Fifteen points.
15 MORE
That’s not all. Here are 15 points to know about Davis, a
5-foot-11, 180-pound junior: ■ Davis’ holder the past two games has been Billy Fessler, a backup left-handed QB who is usually best-known for wearing a red ball cap and signaling in offensive plays. (Usual holder Chris Gulla has been absent.) Tyler Yazujian is the long snapper and has been since the 2014 season. ■ “Wet ball drills aren’t really for me, they’re for the snapper and holder,” Davis said after the game. “We did them in the hotel (on Saturday), because we saw it was going to be rainy and Fessler hadn’t really held in the rain. They were snapping in the hallway.” ■ The hallway? “Oh, yeah,” Davis said. “You don’t need too much room to snap, just eight yards and a little bit of width. We kind of stepped it out.” ■ In two seasons at Penn State, Davis has made 28 of 30 field goals and 55 of 55 extra point attempts. This season: 20 of 22, 44 of 44. ■ “Tyler Davis has been money for us all year long,” Franklin said following the win against Rutgers. ■ Davis’ 90.9 percent field goal percentage in 2016 is an all-time PSU single-season record, so far, besting the 83.3 percent mark set by Brett Conway in 1994 and Joey Julius in 2015, both at 10 of 12. (Records based on a minimum of 10 attempts.) ■ Davis’ 93.33 percent field goal percentage for his career is on pace to be the best in Penn State history, far ahead of the 77.6 percent (38-49) set in 1981-83 by Nick Gancitano. (A minimum of 40 attempts is required.)

■ “I never aim outside of either post,” said Davis. “I’ll either aim inside the left post or inside the right post. ... I always pick something in the scoreboard that won’t move to look at. I look up there and pick my spot.” ■ Davis ranks tied for sixth in all of major college football for field goals per game, with 1.9. ■ Davis ranks 13th nationally in scoring, with 104 points and 9.5 per game. (A guy by the name of Saquon Barkley, with 16 TDs, 96 points and an 8.7 ppg average, is 28th.) ■ Davis, on his head coach calling him the team MVP: “That means a lot to me, although I don’t know if I agree because they have to get down there for me to even kick. I think there are multiple MVP’s. It’s too long of a list to name.” ■ Over the course of the 2015-2016 seasons, Davis made 18 consecutive field goals — from 30, 42, 28, 23, 24, 18, 19, 34, 29, 28, 38, 40, 30, 21, 19, 27, 40 and 30 yards. That’s the longest such streak in Penn State history and fourth alltime in the Big Ten. ■ Davis grew up in St. Charles, Ill., near Chicago, the Windy City. Which is a good thing, if you’re a kicker, especially on Nov. 19: “In Chicago, I get a lot of wind. So I guess it was a blessing in disguise growing up in Chicago. It’s terrible when the wind is coming at you; you can’t kick far. But looking back, it’s good that I had those conditions.” ■ More Franklin on Davis: “He has a real maturity for a guy his age. Handles things really well. Changed the holder situation; a lot of times that can mess up the kicker. He’s been great. ... That guy’s a warrior.” ■ Davis began his college career as a soccer player at Bradley University, scoring the game-winning goal in his second game ever. He has another season to go at Penn State; at this rate, his collegiate football career could end the same way. Extra point: “The longest field goal I’ve made ... in practice in a long field goal drill where we’re supposed to cover and with a line and a snapper, is 58 yards. Actually, in warm-ups today with sticks (which keep the ball in place sans a human holder) was 65 yards. Yeah, ah, there was a little wind at my back.” A little wind? Point well taken.

Little Lions can’t overcome early deficit in playoff By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com
SELINSGROVE — The State College football team was well aware that every opponent in the state tournament was going to be very good. Not every team, however, is as fast, aggressive, athletic and explosive as the Williamsport Millionaires. Squaring off with the Little Lions in a PIAA 6-A first-round game Nov. 18 at Selinsgrove High School, the Millionaires demonstrated all of those qualities — and more — against the Mid-Penn champion Little Lions. Williamsport bolted out to two 21point advantages in the first half, led by 14 at the break, and then made big play after big play in the second half to hold off the Lions in an electric 35-28 win. With the victory, which was their first in the state tournament in 21 years, the 11-1 Millionaires advance to face Pittsburgh Central Catholic on Saturday, Nov. 26, at Altoona’s Mansion Park. The dynamic trio of quarterback Isiah Hankins, receiver Elliott Walker and sophomore running back Trayson Potts led a 407-yard Williamsport offense that State College was only sporadically able to control. Hankins threw for 232 yards and three touchdowns, all to Walker, and scored one himself. D-1 prospect Potts added a touchdown and Walker piled up 131 receiving yards and the three scores. Hankins and Walker teamed up in the first half for touchdowns of 31, 18 and 75 yards, and then Hankins scrambled 23 yards on the last play of the third quarter for the eventual winning touchdown of the night. “They (Potts, Walker and Hankins) are dynamic athletes,” State College coach Matt Lintal said, “and they are tough in space. They have a heck of a football team, and they did some things schematically that slowed us down a little bit and it took us a while to get going offensively.
PAT ROTHDEUTSCH/For the Gazette
STATE HIGH’S Tyler Snyder (14), Brandon Clark (15), Drew Friberg (8) and teammates battled back but fell 35-28 to Williamsport on Nov. 18 in the state playoffs in Selinsgrove. “So, credit to Williamsport. They are a very well-coached football team.” Williamsport scored the first time it had the football after a 40-yard drive and a 1-yard plunge by Potts, but the Millionaires really didn’t get moving until the second quarter. While holding State College to a total of 12 yards in its first five possessions, Williamsport scored three touchdowns in the
second quarter and all three were on passes to Walker. The first two gave the Millionaires a 21-0 lead, and then the third — a 75-yard pass-and-run — upped the score to 28-7 with time running out in the quarter. State College was staggered, but it wasn’t done yet. Its attack, after a miserable start, belatedly woke up after a two-play, 70-yard drive that consisted of
a 65-yard bomb to Noah Woods and then a 5-yarder to Brandon Clark for the Little Lions’ first touchdown. And then, SC answered Walker’s third score with an eight-play, 63-yard drive as time ran out in the first half. Pete Haffner did the honors with a 1-yard run, and State College, reeling as it was from the WHS big plays, still hung around at 28-14 going into the locker rooms. “It was tough,” Lintal said, “and we had that feeling of playing catch-up the whole time and got a little bit out of our game plan. But the kids adjusted really well.” Part of that adjustment for the Little Lions involved pulling some surprises out of their play book. State College recovered two on-side kicks in the game and was successful twice on fake punts. The second on-side kick recovery came on the third-quarter kickoff, and three plays later, Woods sailed into the end zone with a 19-yard reception for SC’s third touchdown. Suddenly, the score was 28-21 in a game that was far from over. And just as suddenly, both defenses began to figure things out. The teams traded four punts in a row before Hankins single-handedly led Williamsport to the winning touchdown. Late in the third quarter, the Millionaires took over at their own 35, and Hankins accounted for 62 of the 65 remaining yards on five scrambles. One was for 33 yards on a third-and-6, and the touchdown came on the last play of the quarter from 23 yards out that made the score 35-21. State College scored again on its next possession — a 26-yard pass from Snyder to Woods — but an interception and a run-dominated drive by Williamsport squeezed the Lions out of time. SC did get one last chance — 80 yards away with just a minute to play — but Williamsport held on for the win. “We knew they were a good team,” Snyder said, “and that it would be a tough game. But we left a lot out here tonight. We took advantage of them at times, but we also left it out there at times. It was a really tough way to end the season.”
State High’s senior class special to coach Lintal By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — The end of a high school sports’ season is almost always tinged a bit with sadness and reflection among the coaches and the graduating seniors who will be moving on to other things. This is especially true with this year’s State College High School football team. Three years ago, head coach Matt Lintal took over a very successful program and guided it to higher levels in many ways than it was previously. This year’s group of seniors is the first that he has seen all the way through, and they are the first ones to play their entire careers under Lintal. The Little Lions’ 2016 campaign came to an unfortunate end Nov. 18 at the hands of Williamsport in the PIAA 6-A first round, but it was nevertheless another exceptionally successful season: an 10-2 record, a second consecutive share of the Mid-Penn Colonial championship, a District

6 title and another trip to the state tournament. State College won nine straight before losing to perennial power Central Dauphin in the final regular-season game of the year. Their 2016 10-2 record included wins over J.P. McCaskey, Mifflin County, Carlisle, C.D. East and Harrisburg. Perhaps the biggest win was the come-from-behind, 20-16 thriller over co-champion Cumberland Valley at home Oct. 7. That win, coupled with Cumberland Valley’s victory over Central Dauphin, led to SC’s second straight MidPenn title. After the loss to Williamsport, there were lots of hugs and thank-yous, a few tears and a real sense of accomplishment before the seniors would be, as wide receiver Noah Woods said, “putting away the pads.” There were 30 seniors on the roster for the Lions, and many were major contributors in the team’s successes. Quarterback Tyler Snyder threw for almost 2,000 yards and 22 touchdowns, while running backs Pete Haffner (545
yards) and Felix Sanchez (218 yards) were major contributors in the running game. Woods led the receivers with 981 yards and 12 touchdowns, but Haffner and tight end Eric Swanson (142 yards, 2 TD) were also passing-game threats. Woods and Haffner were also among the team’s leaders in all-purpose yards. On defense, seniors Aziz Salamy, Donovan Brown, Donovan Moses, Peyton Edwards, Mark Wess, Joshua Ruffner, Matt Vivas, Drew Linnes, Kam’ron Walker and Swanson were major factors. And Haffner was a two-time Defensive Player of the Year in the Mid-Penn. Haffner and Ruffner led the team in tackles and tackles for loss, while Edwards was the leader on the team in sacks with 10. “This senior class is super-special to me,” Lintal said. “This was the first group that I’ve had for three years, so the bonds that you feel and relationships you build, I’m going to miss these guys.

Penn State dominates at Keystone Classic By ANDY ELDER Special to the Gazette
PHILADELPHIA — The No. 2 Penn State wrestling team went to University of Pennsylvania’s venerable Palestra on Nov. 20 for the Keystone Classic tournament, hoping to accomplish a couple of goals. First, head coach Cael Sanderson had said early in the season that if his team is improving, it will probably also be winning. Check. The Nittany Lions piled up points in bunches, amassing a team score of 245, more than twice as many as second-place Pitt’s 121.5 and the 110.5 of third-place Eastern Michigan. Penn State crowned eight champions in nine weights out of its 10 finalists. The Nittany Lion coaching staff also wanted to have some of its own wrestlers meet at certain weights to help determine a solid starter. Check. That happened at the one weight that is the closest to call, 174 pounds, where Shakur Rasheed defeated Geno Morelli. Morelli had won a wrestle-off to earn the starting spot in the first two duals of the season.
Rasheed won 2-1 when he escaped with eight seconds to go in the second tiebreaker period. That sets the series at 1-1 between Morelli and Shakur, with a deciding rubber match yet to come. It could happen in the Reno Tournament of Champions on Sunday, Dec. 18. All in all, it was a dominating day for Penn State, which is off until a Sunday, Dec. 4, noon showdown with intra-state rival Lehigh at the Bryce Jordan Center. Sanderson entered 19 wrestlers in the tournament and they combined to compile a 64-19 record, with 14 of those 19 entrants placing. The Lions’ contingent combined to record 27 pins, six tech falls and five majors. Eight Nittany Lions won championships: Nick Suriano (125), Zain Retherford (149), Jason Nolf (157), Vincenzo Joseph (165), Rasheed (174), Bo Nickal (184), Matt McCutcheon (197) and Nick Nevills (285). Jered Cortez placed third at 133, Dominic Giannangelli fifth at 141, Gary Dinmore fourth at 149 and Kellan Stout fifth at 197. Retherford, who went 5-0 with five pins, was named the tournament outstanding Wrestling, Page 27

One step forward, one back for men’s basketball JASON ROLLISON
Some would argue that there is no such thing as a “moral victory” in sports. The Penn State men’s basketball program lent that notion some credence during the Hall of Fame Tip-Off in Connecticut Nov. 19 and 20. Coach Pat Chambers spoke early and often in the offseason about a tough nonconference schedule. It was his thought Jason Rollison that challenging his is a sports young team early and commentator. often would provide Email him the team with some at jason@ serious mettle for Big piratesbreakdown. Ten play. com. In that light, this weekend amounted to “mission accomplished.” Until it wasn’t. The Hall of Fame Tip-Off started with Penn State vs. No. 1-ranked powerhouse Duke. A contest that many would have written off as a sure Penn State loss turned out to be a more competitive affair than the 78-68 score would indicate. After trailing at the half 36-24, Penn State outscored the Blue Devils — albeit hampered by injuries — 44-42 in the second half to fuel the final margin. With 2:36 left to play, the Nittany Lions cut the
lead to eight on the back of Shep Garner’s three-point basket. From his vantage point, legendary Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski sees the Nittany Lions as a program on the rise. ‘’That was a good win for us against a program that’s emerging,’’ he said. After the game, Chambers comments made it clear he felt his team performed exactly how he wanted them to. “We took another step today,” Chambers told reporters after the game. “We got better. And that’s our goal — just keep getting better. It’s a process that’s going to take some time, but we’re going to eventually get there.” It might be wise for Chambers to take the long view, as his team laid an egg against No. 24 Cincinnati, losing 71-50 in the tournament’s consolation game the next day. Penn State was never in it, with the Bearcats using an 18-1 run early in the game to dash Penn State’s hopes. Garner once again led Penn State with 20 points, but it was not enough to stop Penn State from falling to 2-3 on the year. Overall, Chambers has to be pleased with the direction his team is heading. The Lions can pride themselves on having four scores in double figures through the season’s first five games, while a fifth is not far behind (Mike Watkins, 8.6 ppg). Defense continues to plague the program, as the 14 turnovers against just 12 assists can attest. This propensity toward sloppy ball control can lead to runs like
Linebacker: Breaking Paterno’s leg ‘proudest’ college moment statecollege.com UNIVERSITY PARK — In a November 2006 game at Wisconsin, Penn State tight end Andrew Quarless caught a pass along the sideline and was tackled by Badger linebacker DeAndre Levy. As the two careened out of bounds, Levy collided helmet-first with then 79-year-old Penn State coach Joe Paterno, breaking Paterno’s left leg. Ten years later, Levy is calling that his “proudest moment in college.” “That dirtbag, man,” Levy, now in his seventh year with the Detroit Lions, said in a new interview with Men’s Health. “We’ve gotta stop prioritizing sports over humanity. Just because somebody can throw a football or coach football, they’re excluded from the wicked acts.” Levy’s defensive teammate Anthony Zettel was recruited by Paterno and was a true freshman who redshirted on Paterno’s final team in 2011. Detroit head coach Jim Caldwell was an assistant coach at Penn State under Paterno from 1986-92. Caldwell, who has often spoken highly of Paterno, told ESPN on Nov. 17 that players can express their opinions, even those with which he does not agree. “Really, I think I’ve gone on record many times about how I feel about Joe,” Caldwell said. “And in regard to our players making their statement about how they feel, I’d be hypocritical to tell you anything other than the fact that they can express their opinion. “We don’t all necessarily agree with it.” Paterno was removed as head coach five years ago in the wake of child sexual abuse charges against former Penn State assistant Jerry Sandusky. Former Penn State assistant Mike McQueary had reported to Paterno in 2001 seeing Sandusky with a boy in a locker room shower. Paterno informed former athletic director Tim Curley and vice president Gary Schultz, who later spoke with McQueary. Both former administrators contend McQueary told them of nothing sexual. Paterno, who died in January 2012, was never charged with a crime or accused of wrongdoing by law enforcement. The controversial 2012 university-commissioned investigative report led by Louis Freeh placed blame on Paterno, Curley, Schultz and Spanier for not reporting Sandusky to authorities. Former Deputy Attorney General Frank Fina, who helped lead the investigation of the Sandusky case, told 60 Minutes in 2013 that there was no evidence Paterno participated in an alleged cover-up. Unsealed depositions from Penn State’s civil settlements with Sandusky accusers revealed two men who claimed that they had informed Paterno of abuse by Sandusky in the 1970s. Those cases have not been tried in court or the subject of criminal investigation.

PENN STATE head coach Patrick Chambers calls out to his team during the first half of the Nittany Lions’ loss to Cincinnati on Nov. 20 in Uncasville, Conn. Cincinnati’s, and this team is not talented enough to consistently be forced to fight back against large deficits. In the run-up to the season, the biggest question on many observers’ minds seemed to be who would be Garner’s wingman. Guard Tony Carr has stepped up to fill the role, averaging 14.8 points per game
while logging 34.6 minutes per contest. The toughness that Chambers touted in Watkins has been seen, with the big man averaging 6.6 rebounds per game to go along with his 8.6 points per game. All of this is served as evidence that Krzyzewski’s words may in fact be considered prophetic.

This Thanksgiving feast is not about the food PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

Ready for some football? Yes, the season has been in full swing since September, and a great number of games have already been played, but this is Thanksgiving weekend. And during Thanksgiving weekend, there is always a feast, so to speak, of games to go see, or watch on your device of choice (which used to be a TV). In high school football, the PIAA state tournament quarterfinals will take
place Friday, Nov. 25, and Saturday, Nov. 26. The State College Little Lions, unfortunately, lost to a dynamic Williamsport team in the 6-A first round and their season is over. Williamsport, however, will square off at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 26, with Pittsburgh Central Catholic at Altoona’s Mansion Park in a game that will surely cause seismic disturbances. The winner will get either our friends from Cumberland Valley or Wilson West Lawn. Closer to home, in 1-A ball, defending champion Bishop Guilfoyle will take on Homer Center on Friday, Nov. 25, also at Mansion Park. Should Guilfoyle take that one, either Williams Valley or Steel High will be waiting. Other teams of some local interest that are also still in the tournament are Harrisburg in 5-A, Johnstown in 4-A and Central Martinsburg in 3-A.
In college football, all eyes around here will be on Beaver Stadium for the Saturday, Nov. 26, Big Ten clash between Penn State and Michigan State. For the Nittany Lions, this is may be their biggest game since the 2006 season. A win puts PSU in line for any number of interesting scenarios. Nationally, the usually epic meeting between Ohio State and Michigan will take on even more meaning this year. Both teams need to win to get into the Big Ten Championship Game, and the loser will likely drop out of consideration for the playoff. And even if OSU wins, they don’t go to the championship game if Penn State beats Michigan State. Stay tuned. Don’t forget about the Iron Bowl, Alabama against Auburn on Saturday, Wisconsin against Minnesota, Nebraska at Iowa (Friday), Florida State against Flori-
da, Louisville against Kentucky and Notre Dame at USC. And that list is just some of the games from the top 25. Still not enough? Take a look at some pro games: On Thanksgiving, Nov. 24, the Steelers are at the Colts, the Vikings at the Lions and the Redskins are in Dallas. On Sunday, Nov. 27, New England is at the Jets, the Chiefs are at the Broncos, the Giants play the Browns and the Panthers are at the Raiders. On Monday night, Nov. 28, which is not the weekend but worth a mention anyway, the Packers will be in Philly to play the Eagles. Humorist Erma Bombeck once said that any guy who watches more than two football games in a row should be declared legally dead. She obviously didn’t realize that on a weekend like this, three games is just scratching the surface.
Penn State players debate: to know, or not to know By BEN JONES statecollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Probably safe to say nobody saw this coming a few short weeks ago. But here Penn State sits, one win and a little help away from playing for a Big Ten title. All it takes: a victory over Michigan State and an Ohio State win over Michigan. Both the Nittany Lions and the Buckeyes are playing at home, both teams likely favored by a slim margin. For Penn State, the entire situation is surrounded by a weird dynamic. Late on Saturday night, Nov. 19 — or, rather, early Sunday morning, Nov. 20 — it was announced that the Nittany Lions will host Michigan State at 3:30 p.m. on ESPN. The result: Penn State players will know the outcome of the first
half of their Big Ten title equation. Michigan and Ohio State could very well be finishing up as Penn State and Michigan State begin. So, do players want to know if they’re playing for simply their 10th win of the year, or a shot at a Big Ten title? Stay off the Internet, or follow along in a social media world? It depends who you ask. ■ Linebacker Jason Cabinda: “We control what we can control, finish off strong this coming week, do everything we can in our power to be 1-0. We don’t have classes so we have extra time to be watching film and working in the weight room and preparing as much as we can for Michigan State and that’s what we’re going to do.” Pressed further, Cabinda said, “We’re just going to worry about us man, that’s all that matters.” ■ Tight end Mike Gesicki: “To be
honest, probably not, we’ll be out on the field preparing for the game and all that stuff.” Do you think you’d want to know what the score was when it was over? Would you want to know if you won that you’d be going to the Big Ten title game? “Ummm,” he said with a smile, “absolutely, but we’ve got plenty of reasons, we’ve got plenty of motivation and if it works out, it works out.” ■ Quarterback Trace McSorley: “It’s hard to ignore, but I’d probably just not want to know. But how it’s probably going to be, it’ll be hard not to find out. There’s going to be some way that people are going to find out. I’ll probably know, but for me, honestly, I’d probably rather not know and come out and play Debate, Page 27

THE STATE COLLEGE Area High School girls’ volleyball team earned Mid-Penn conference honors after a stellar season.
State High girls’ volleyball wins top coach, MVP honors statecollege.com STATE COLLEGE — After a 22-1 season and a trip to the PIAA semifinals, the State College Area High School girls volleyball team earned some big Mid-Penn Conference honors. Lady Little Lions coach Chad Weight was named Commonwealth Division Coach of the Year, while senior Taylor Kuruzovich was named Most Valuable Player. Seniors Laura Hildebrand and Alli Henderson were named FirstTeam All-Stars and sophomore Leah Henderson earned a second team nod. Senior Keira Schaef and sophomore Jess Irwin received honorable mention recognition. State High’s season came to a close Nov. 15 with a 3-2 loss to Garnet Valley in the Class AAAA semifinals played at Cumberland Valley High School in Mechanicsburg. Kuruzovich led the Lady Little Lions with 16 assists and 14 kills.
STATE COLLEGE — The U.S. Professional Tennis Association recently named State College Area tennis coach Jane Borden as High School Coach of the Year for the organization’s Middle States section, which includes Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. Borden coaches the State High boys and girls tennis teams and is director of tennis at Centre Hills Country Club. In her 24 years of coaching at the school, she has led her teams to nearly 350 wins, including 53 in the past four seasons. She has an 84-11 record over the past six seasons. “I’m so proud to represent all the State High tennis student-athletes, the athletic program and SCASD with such a great honor,” Borden said in a release. “I’m humbled because I know there are so many great high school tennis coaches in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, and I know I couldn’t do what I do without the support of so many people, including my assistant coach, Jackie Gibbins, and all the student-athletes and parents that I have had the pleasure to work with.” Borden was named the U.S. Tennis Association’s Central Pennsylvania High School Coach of the Year in 2005. Her student-athletes have excelled in the classroom as well, counting among them the high school’s valedictorians in 2012 and 2015. Borden has seen former players accepted to seven of the eight Ivy League schools, according to the district. “I’ve been blessed with the privilege to work with so many student-athletes throughout the years, and I’m most impressed with their accomplishments off the court, in the classroom and in the community,” she said.

Vincenzo Joseph bounced back from his stunning loss in the Stanford dual with a 4-0 day. He posted two technical falls and wins over No. 5 Chad Walsh, of Rider, and No. 13 Te’Shan Campbell, of Pittsburgh. Kade Moss went 4-1 at 141 to take second. Starter Jimmy Gulibon went 4-2 at the same weight, but did not place. Through two dual meets and one tournament, the Nittany Lions are a combined 82-21. Seven Nittany Lions starters remain undefeated: Suriano, Retherford, Nolf, Rasheed, Nickal, McCutcheon and Nevills In other Penn State wrestling news, blue-chip 174pound recruit Mark Hall, who is redshirting, tasted defeat for the first time as a collegiate wrestler. He cruised to the finals of the Michigan State Open before dropping an 8-7 decision to Central Michigan’s Christian Brucki. The Chippewa turned Hall for a four-point nearfall for the decisive points. The Nittany Lions’ match vs. Lehigh wasn’t sold out as of Nov. 21. It will be televised live on Big Ten Network.

that game isn’t going to affect how I play. I want to win this game more than anything to get to 10 wins, something I’ve never done before in my college career. Even nine wins.” ■ Linebacker Brandon Bell: “Doesn’t really matter, we just got to take care of our business against Michigan State and let the cards fall where they may.” Maybe those answers will change as the game draws closer. Maybe the tension of waiting will result in a few looks online before the game finally begins. Maybe Beaver Stadium’s massive scoreboards will simply show the game. In any case, Penn State won’t be going anywhere without a win over Michigan State on Saturday, Nov. 26, so perhaps the tunnel vision that has gotten the Nittany Lions this far is the answer to one final test in the regular season. But, it’s safe to say that those in attendance will know, and if the Buckeyes can pull off the much-needed victory, a Thanksgiving crowd will almost certainly be a little bit more juiced when the game finally begins.

“But we are going to take a deep breath and reflect and enjoy a really successful season and one that we can be really proud of.” As for the players, many lingering on the field long after the game, it was apparent that more than a few of them were thinking the same kinds of things. “It was a hard feeling, losing,” Snyder said, “and the seniors are done, but there were memories out here tonight. “It was a really tough way to end a career. This is a tough feeling. I’ve played with Noah Woods since we were 5 years old, and I played with Brandon (Clark), and Pete (Haffner), and Donovan (Brown), and all these guys. So many memories that we’ll have thinking about one game, and the other game, and all of this for our whole lives. I am thankful for all of it, but I’m sad it ends so soon.”

Tree-lighting kicks off downtown holiday season By VINCENT CORSO correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — After a countdown from the large crowd on Allen Street on Nov. 17, 4-year-old Molly Patrick shook the magic sleigh bells to light up the large Christmas tree and the holiday season began for State College. And although it was a week before Thanksgiving, the crowd was all geared up for the upcoming December holiday. This is all part of the tradition that is the annual treelighting ceremony, sponsored by the State College Downtown Improvement District. Every child under 12 who brought a donation for the Marine Corps Toys for Tots campaign or the State College Food Bank was given a chance to be the lucky tree lighter. Little Molly was the winner and she couldn’t have been more excited. The evening was full of merriment, including Christmas carols sung by the crowd and entertainment by many local community groups. “This is a fun tradition that has been going on for years,” said George Arnold, executive director of the Downtown Improvement District. “It is great way for the community to come together and kick off the holiday season by singing carols, drinking hot cocoa, eating cookies and they get to see our beautiful tree lit up for the first time.” The cookies were donated by Insomnia Cookies, and cocoa was donated by Webster’s Bookstore and Cafe, along with cider provided by Irving’s. All were enjoyed aplenty by the crowd of children, parents and those who are children at heart. A highlight of the night was local radio personality Jeff Brown reading “A Visit from St. Nicholas.” The Dan and Galla Music Show lead the crowd in singing traditional Christmas carols throughout the night, and Galla got the crowd excited with her magic Santa tracker globe, that grew brighter and brighter as Santa’s arrival grew near. Santa eventually arrived on an Alpha firetruck with the lights blazing and all, and the crowd cheered loudly.
Santa stuck around to meet with all the children who waited in line to make sure that their holiday wishes were heard.
“This is so much fun, we love to bring our kids every year,” said Kathy Laskowski, of State College. “The kids think it is great, they love waiting for Santa, they love singing and getting ready for Christmas.”

New ways to create ambiance at your holiday party Hosting a party this yuletide? These days, there are new and innovative ways to set the tone for festive holiday cheer.
HIGH-TECH LIGHTING
Holiday decorations aren’t what they used to be. Now you can control your decorative lighting with app-enabled technology, controlling color combinations, speed and direction of light patterns, even connecting your light scheme to music right from your phone or computer.
DISC JOCKEY APPS
When you are rushing around making sure everyone is fed and having a good time, you likely don’t have time to actively curate your party’s music selection. Consider downloading a DJ app in advance of your
party, which can draw from your existing playlists, automatically make well-informed selections as to what to play next based on matching beats, and even mix the transitions for you. This can mean more attention paid to guests and less focus on your playlist.
WHILE TRADITIONAL holiday decorations remain a staple, these days there are new and innovative ways to set the tone for festivities.
SING-ALONG
Want to make your own music? Even with limited space, you can make caroling and holiday sing-alongs at your party better with an electronic keyboard. Hosting is never simple. But now you can let technology do some of the heavy lifting — from music to imagery — to create the perfect ambiance at your holiday gatherings. — Courtesy StatePoint Media

Tips for making this holiday gathering the best one yet As most holiday hosts know, it’s not unheard-of to spend the majority of your party in the kitchen, while guests laugh together down the hall.
But preparing in advance can help you reduce stress, have more time to make the moments special and still serve a delicious meal. Here are a few hosting hints to make this holiday the best yet.
SNAPPY SIDES
Make sides in a cinch by doing any chopping, slicing or mixing in advance of the day of your party. Certain sides can even be prepped ahead and popped in the oven just before the guests arrive. Or, consider making your party a potluck festivity. This way, everyone pitches in on the food, which leaves you time to mine Pinterest for simple DIY holiday décor ideas that are sure to draw more than a few wows.
MAIN COURSE
Comstock
PREPARATION AND ready-to-serve local food options can make hosting a holiday party much less stressful.
The centerpiece of your celebration, the ham or turkey, shouldn’t involve a ton of work or preparation. When your guests have traveled from all over, why not treat them (and yourself) to a little taste of home that provides the perfect presentation and effortless preparation?
Do you ever hear furniture store ads promoting endless sales that promise to be the biggest ever? Speedy Furniture offers a refreshing, relaxing, low cost shopping atmosphere.
Stop in and meet Stacy and Dave for a “no hassle” furniture shopping experience.
One easy way to serve these home favorites without spending all day near the oven is by picking up a ready-to-serve option locally.
DIY DRINKS
All too often, hosts get bogged down fixing drinks for guests as they arrive. Avoid this conundrum by setting up a DIY drink station. You may consider making a signature drink in advance and serving it in a beverage dispenser or punch bowl, or giving guests a few cocktail suggestions on
a placard. Don’t forget the little ones. Set up a hot chocolate bar that includes marshmallows, peppermints and whipped cream topping options. Ask adults to help their children serve themselves. You don’t have to get sidelined in the kitchen at your holiday gathering in order to serve a home style feast. With a few smart strategies, you can be both the host of the party and the life of it. — Courtesy StatePoint Media

It seems as though everyone is going in different directions these days and the family meal is an event of the past. With the holidays upon us, hopefully you and your family will have time to gather together for at least one meal. Or, perhaps you can enjoy a holiday party with your co-workers. Whether you are dining at home or in a formal setting, here are some quick tips that will help make the meal more pleasurable for all. ■ Bread plate and drink: Which one is mine? There are several quick tips to remember which is your bread plate or drink. One of the most popular is to use your thumb and pointer finger of each hand to form a lowercase “b” or “d.” The left hand forms a “b,” indicating your bread plate is to your left, and your right hand forms a “d” indicating your drink is on the right. Another way to remember is the BMW method — bread, meal, water. ■ Selecting the proper flatware At a formal dining setting, there are often many eating
utensils from which to choose. Always work from the outside in toward your plate. Once you have used a utensil, it should never be placed on the table again. ■ Disconnect to reconnect Place your cell phones and electronic games away from the table. Be engaged with the people in front of you and reconnect. Some families even have an electronic turn-in box when the meal starts and no one gets their electronics back until after the meal. This is certainly a great suggestion for a business meeting as well. ■ Passing the food When passing food, always pass to your right. This is especially important when there are several dishes being passed at the same time, as it helps to avoid dish collisions. ■ Perfect timing Wait until everyone is seated (and served, when appropriate) at the table before you begin to eat. When you do begin to eat, select small bites and do not talk with food in your mouth. Tammy Miller teaches business and dining etiquette classes in business and home settings.

Find us online at centrecountygazette.com
Cathy Frank has been selected as this year’s featured artist and was commissioned to design the 2016 signature ornament, which incorporates the Palmer Museum of Art logo created with lightweight and vibrant metallic foil acrylic. “Each ornament is hand-cut, arranged and fused in three parts,” said Frank. “The collaged element is carefully considered and placed, as are the matching colorful pearl, glass and crystal beads on the hangers.” Over the years, Frank has pursued metalworking, enameling, Plexiglas sculpting and jewelry assemblage, which has culminated to metallic acrylic, her present medium of choice that, through research and experimentation, she creates herself. “From experience, I have learned that creativity goes hand in hand with problem solving, and this is an aspect of being an artist I enjoy most,” said Frank. Other artists participating in this year’s sale include Kimberly Brooks Filkins, Suzanne Decker, Elli Groninger, Sue Harter, James Hayes, Kat Oliva, Deb Parsons, Michele Randall, Christine Stangel, the State College Weavers Guild and Caryl Strauss. There will be a variety of art and ornaments for sale, including items made of glass, beads, clay, fiber and metal. The board of directors of the Friends group has sponsored a tree again this year that will feature limited editions of commissioned ornaments from the past.

Student’s winning MLK Day poster is a call to action Penn State News
UNIVERSITY PARK — The time is right to speak up for justice, according to the designer of this year’s poster for the 2017 Martin Luther King Jr. Day Commemoration. Hayle Stoner, a Penn State senior graphic design major, created the poster in Lanny Sommese’s time and sequence course, which exposes students to realworld design with a deadline, as well as client and prescribed project specifications. Stoner’s design was selected by members of the faculty and staff and student MLK Day planning committees. It will be used to promote various MLK events on campus, including the Forum on Black Af-
fair’s MLK Banquet Sunday, Jan. 15, and the evening celebration on Friday, Jan. 20. “Right now in our country we are using our anger and judgement to rule our actions, which is leading our people to turn against one another in fear,” wrote Stoner in a description of her design. “It is time that we come together as a society to solve a problem, to speak up for what we believe in, for justice. When Martin Luther King Jr. wrote the Letter from Birmingham Jail he was calling out for people to share their voices for a cause. By staying silent while heartbreaking events unfold you are contributing to the ongoing problem. “In my poster design, I wanted to call out those people who are watching the vio-

lence continue but are still staying silent. The design is meant to relate to a broad audience, to show it could be any one of us. The shade of red symbolizes the figure being alert due to rising tensions. Their eyes are open wide to see exactly what is going on but their hand remains over their mouth in silence. In the reflection of the eyes you see a cop and a silhouetted figure. This is to call out the present controversy unfolding between African-Americans and law enforcement. In the eyes there is no hero or victim because if we ever want to resolve this conflict we have to take a step back from that. “We have to start looking at all of us as one in the same, we are all people, and we all must come together and stop being silent, which is what this poster represents.” The theme for the 2017 MLK Jr. Commemoration is “When Silence Becomes Betrayal.” Inspired by the words of King, the theme is a reminder for Penn Staters to use their voices in the face of injustice. The hashtag #ISpokeUpWhen will be used to allow faculty, staff and students to be recognized for times they spoke up for others.

BAM seeking donors By CONNIE COUSINS ccous67@gmail.com
It is a challenge at this time of year to decide which of many appeals we should support. Most people have the desire to help others, but the budget stretches only so far. The Bellefonte Art Museum, 133 N. Allegheny St. in Bellefonte, has had the good fortune to receive a matching challenge of $50,000 by Bellefonte resident Phil Sieg. That means that a donation of $20, for example, to the museum’s Art to Heart campaign, will be matched with another $20 by Sieg. The challenge will remain in effect until Saturday, Dec. 31. The BAM will use money raised for art exhibitions, camp scholarships, educational programing and facility maintenance. The museum receives no funds from Bellefonte Borough, the county or the state. Executive director Patricia House took on the art museum eight years ago, and since then she has had a vision of developing a thriving community for artists, families and patrons of the arts. “We are now at over 500 members and volunteers, and are showing art in seven galleries,” said House. “Our monthly First Sunday openings bring in 200 to 300 visitors.” For more information, visit www.bellefontemuseum. org or call (814) 355-4280.
