Front and State High breaks ground for renovations Centre By ALEXA LEWIS

correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — The State College Area High School renovation project broke ground on May 14 as the first shovels dug into a mound of dirt outside the school. After multiple speeches, board members, the district administrative and project design teams, the president of student government and the superintendent came before the audience of more than 200 people to each toss a shovel full of dirt. While the real construction begins within the next two to three weeks, the shovels at the groundbreaking ceremony were a way for State College Area School District administrators, teachers and students to celebrate years of efforts behind the State High project. “This ceremony marks a significant milestone toward realizing a resource that will support the impressive work of our students and teachers for many decades,” said Robert O’Donnell, the superintendent of the State College Area School District, during his speech at the event. An $85 million referendum vote to renovate the outdated buildings on Westerly Parkway passed last May with a 74 percent public consensus. The State High Project will update aging facilities, improve safety and security, and enhance the educational environment, according to Penni Fishbaine, a current member of the school board and past board president. “I really like how all the safety has been considered,” said Laurel Martin, who has three children who attend schools in the dis-

Lee’s trial delayed

we believe...

By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

BELLEFONTE — Alleged child molester Christopher Lee will have to wait a little longer for his day in court. Lee’s trial — originally scheduled for December 2014 and pushed back to June — has been delayed once again. The Boalsburg native is now expected to go to trial on Monday, July 6. Lee was arrested in Boalsburg back in October, following an investigation by local police departments and the FBI. Authorities say the former Harris Township supervisor attempted to molest a foreign teenage boy and family friend who stayed the night at his home. Lee — a former Harris Township supervisor and CEO of the Boal Mansion Museum — faces felony charges of possessing and creating child pornography, tampering with evidence and bringing minors into the country with sexual intent. Federal prosecutors requested the most recent delay of Lee’s trial because Lee has several pretrial requests pending before the court.

Last week, Lee’s attorney asked the court to split his client’s charges into two separate trials. Lee’s attorney also wants some evidence kept out of the courtroom because he claims it was improperly obtained by investigators. CHRISTOPHER “The defendants LEE pretrial motions will not be resolved in advance of the current June 1, 2015, trial date,” federal prosecutors wrote in their request for a delay. “Therefore, a continuance of the trial date is necessary for both parties.” Prosecutors wanted the trial pushed back until August, but the judge didn’t go that far. U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann granted the request, but only pushed the trial back to July instead of August. “The ends of justice served by granting this continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial,” Brann wrote.

WARRIORS MARK — A Huntingdon County man is in jail for allegedly trying to pressure a 15-year-old Ferguson Township girl into sex. Police say that James Wagner, 50, of Warrior’s Mark, repeatedly attempted to force his girlfriend’s daughter into a relationship with him, claiming he loved the teen “more than in a fatherly way.” Ferguson Township police began inJAMES WAGNER vestigating Wagner in March, after Children and Youth Services notified police of the alleged abuse. According to court documents, the girl told police that Wagner on multiple occasions had told her that he loved her, wanted to run away with her and wanted to have sex with her. The victim reportedly told police that

Wagner’s attention made her very uncomfortable, and that she barricaded the door to her room while she slept at least once out of fear he would break in. The girl also reportedly told police that Wagner had, on various occasions, rubbed her legs and thighs and kissed her shoulders and upper arms. When police searched the Ferguson Township home, they reportedly found a letter Wagner had written to the girl claiming to be in love with her and wanting to make her his. According to court documents, Wagner willingly spoke to police during the investigation. He reportedly admitted to officers that he told the victim he loved her, wanted to run away with her and have sex with her. He also reportedly told police that he knew what he did was wrong and “he was ashamed of what he did.” Wagner faces felony charges of statutory sexual assault and unlawful contact with a minor, as well as misdemeanor corruption of minors. He is being held in the Centre County Correctional Facility on $100,000 bail while awaiting a preliminary hearing.

Late-night robbery reported outside local restaurant By StateCollege.com STATE COLLEGE — Ferguson Township police are investigating an early morning robbery that happened outside a popular restaurant on North Atherton Street. The victim reportedly said he was hit on the head with what might have been a gun. It happened in the parking lot of Champ’s Bar and Grill, 1611 N. Atherton St., around 4 a.m. on May 19. According to police, the victim, a Champ’s employee, was leaving the restaurant when he was attacked. The thief tied up the man and took cash and a cell phone. The suspect is described as a black

male, five-foot-eight inches tall, about 150 pounds and wearing a red and white bandana. Police say the victim managed to untie himself and drove home before calling for help. Investigators are also looking into an unrelated burglary at a different Ferguson Township restaurant. The owner of Westside Stadium Bar & Grill, 1301 W. College Ave., said somebody broke in on May 16. The cash drawer and a safe were stolen. An undisclosed amount of cash was taken. Anyone with information about either of these crimes can call the Ferguson Township Police Department at (814) 2371172.

County will appeal decisions in Right to Know suits By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

BELLEFONTE — Centre County plans to appeal three recent rulings against the county in the hotly contested Right to Know lawsuits. Centre County is currently being sued by two judges and the district attorney for releasing some of their county cell phone records to defense attorneys in response to Right to Know requests. Huntingdon County Judge Stewart Kurtz ruled in all three suits that the county did not have the authority to release the records, but the county disagrees. “The Right to Know law is a fairly new law, and it hasn’t been completely tested yet,” Commissioner Chris Exarchos said at a commissioners meeting on May 19. “Judge Kurtz’s decision may have state-

wide implications.” The issue surrounding the phone records is a nuanced aspect of the Right to Know law. Are the phone records county financial records because the county provides the phones, as the county has argued? Or, are the records judicial records that are outside the authority of the county, as the judges and the DA have argued? Kurtz has suggested several times that the parties in the disputes settle their differences out of court, but that seems unlikely. Exarchos said he doesn’t think mediation can settle the issue at hand. “This is basically a legal question of statute interpretation, and I’m not sure how you mediate that,” Exarchos said. “We’ve been sued, but we don’t have a dispute with the courts, or the DA, or the people who are claiming a right to know.” The commissioners’ defense attorney

in the three Right to Know lawsuits is paid for by the county’s insurance program. The commissioners said their insurance carrier is willing to pay for the county to appeal, but they were unable to speculate on when the appeal may be filed. The county may also end up changing its cell phone policy as result of the three lawsuits. The commissioners are now considering removing all judges (who are technically state, not county, employees) from the county cell phone plan. Commissioner Steve Dershem said he was “uncomfortable” keeping judges’ county phone records in county offices in light of the recent lawsuits. Exarchos agreed, and proposed giving the judges a “transition period” to get on a state cell phone plan or purchase their own plan before Wednesday, July 1.

County administrator Tim Boyde said that Centre County President Judge Tom Kistler told him over the phone that the judiciary has no problem with the proposal. However, Commissioner Michael Pipe asked to delay the vote a week so they could get an agreement with Kistler in writing just to play it safe. The commissioners also voted to direct county staff to start a complete review of the county’s cell phones to double check that every phone currently in use is a justified cost to the county. As part of that review, county staff will also look over the county’s electronic communications and cell phone policies to see if they need to be updated in any way. “I feel these policies should be looked at almost annually because the technology is always changing, and we need to change with it,” Dershem said.

Residents demand Ferguson Township stop development By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — The May 18 Ferguson Township board of supervisors meeting was practically overflowing with concerned residents, many holding signs with slogans such as “Save Our Water.” The dozens of township residents had one thing on their minds: a proposed Toll Brothers housing development at the corner of Whitehall Road and Blue Course Drive. The development, known as The Cottages at State College, would sit about 4,000 feet uphill from the recharge area for two wells that supply the majority of the State College area’s drinking water. Township resident Pam Steckler presented the supervisors with a petition with more than 400 handwritten signatures asking the board to deny the development and rezone the plot of land back to agricultural use. An online version of the same petition has more than 1,800 signatures. Steckler pointed out that the plot of land in question, which is owned by Penn State, was originally zoned for agricultural use before being rezoned to allow residential development in 2004. She said that the Centre Region Council of Governments recommended against allowing developments on that area because of its proximity to the wells. Steckler, along with a handful of other residents, said she fears the new development will expose the area’s drinking water to contaminates such as oil, grease, pesticides and herbicides that will flow downhill to the wells with storm water and other runoff. “The proposed Toll Brothers development is, for lack of a nicer way to put it, ugly sprawl: more cliché cookie-cutter boxes with no connection to the land, or to us,” said township resident Peter Buckland. “… ‘The boxes’ will bring more concrete, more asphalt, more noise, more drunk

students, less farmlands, worse views of the ridge and less piece of mind.” Township resident Joe Cusumano said one of the major reasons he moved to Ferguson Township was for the open spaces and scenic vistas — which he feels are threatened, at least in part, by the proposed Toll Brothers development. Cusumano speculated that the township would face a lawsuit regardless of whether or not the board approves the development. If the development is denied, then Cusumano would expect a lawsuit from Penn State and Toll Brothers. If the development is approved, he’d expect a lawsuit from the surrounding municipalities whose drinking water is negatively affected. “Whatever way this plays out, you’re going to have a fight on your hands,” Cusumano said. “So the question is:

Who are you fighting for?” Area resident John Sepp — president of PennTerra Engineering, the firm working with Toll Borthers to help develop the plans — also chimed in, although members of the audience periodically interrupted him. Sepp said he and the other engineers working on the project have a moral and professional obligation to ensure the plans will not contaminate the local water supply. He said the plans include several features to help ensure the safety of the wells, including a special retention basin liner to help prevent sinkholes and filtration devices installed onsite. The board of supervisors didn’t hold much discussion after the residents finished making their demands, but Supervisor Drew Clemson assured each of the speakers that Ferguson, Page 4

Then, you have to spend the time and focus every day to work on getting to your goals” While he feels optimistic about the long- and short-term performance of the stock market, that does not necessarily translate to the same feelings about the nation’s economy. “No one was supposed to be poor in life. We are all really fortunate to be here today in this sea of opportunities. All you have to do is wake up and learn how to see them and then how to engage with them in a profitable way, usually in a way that serves the concerns of others,” noted Nestlerode. Philosophically, Nestlerode is quick to remind us that money is not the root of all evil. “Rather, it is the love of money that is the root of all evil. Money is just a means to an end. It allows you to extend your influence to others and causes you believe are important. Look at Bill Gates and what he thinks is important!” After years of working in the financial industry, Nestlerode felt it was time to offer advice to a larger audience than his clients. “I wrote the book to organize my thoughts on investing in such a way that others can benefit from my 50 years in the business,” he explained. When he started he had a lot to learn and was a self-described incompetent. “I wrote the book to help others create their path to success at personal wealth creation. And, in an efficient way so it doesn’t take all day, every day. It is the legacy I can leave behind for others who are willing to personally grow in the domain of money and investment.” Nestlerode knows that there are many people who go through life never learning Ferguson, from page 3 they had been heard. “We have to act on the information we

Now retired — though he can be found in his office from time to time — Nestlerode hopes the book is helpful to anyone who reads it. “I have been an investor for over 60 years and 50 years as a registered financial person. Fifty years was long enough. Now the book will carry the baton going forward,” he staid. “My greatest satisfaction was helping a third-generation immigrant working in the mines of Centre County buy his first house.

Fisher remembered with tears and laughter By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — How do you say goodbye to someone as beloved as Fran Fisher, the iconic voice of Penn State? Fisher’s friends and family offered both tears and solemn prayers at his funeral on May 19, but they also shook the walls of the State College Presbyterian Church with laughter. And according to Fisher’s son Jeff, that’s exactly what his father would have wanted. Fran Fisher, who passed away last week at the age of 91, was known for his fast-talking, wise-cracking humor. As the famed broadcaster of Nittany Lions football games in the days before every game was televised, Fisher’s energetic and often humorous commentary brought the sport to life for fans across the globe. “You got to believe it was tough to live in a house with two broadcasters,” Jeff Fisher said with meaningful glance at his brother Jerry, who followed his father’s footsteps into radio. “Mom and I couldn’t get in a word in edgewise!” But even though Jeff Fisher knew his father “wouldn’t have wanted anything but laughter” at his funeral, there still were some inevitable tears. Fisher’s eldest son smiled and chuckled as he remembered his father’s competitive streak, his deep love of family and self-deprecating wit, but Jeff Fisher’s voice cracked and wavered as he finished his remarks.
 “I know Mom and Dad are back together again, at that family reunion up there,” he said, looking heavenward. The funeral services were held in the same church Fran Fisher attended in life, where he changed from a frenzied Saturday broadcaster to a reflective Sunday worshiper. As Pastor Dean Lindsey said he likes to think, church was where “the Voice of Penn State”came not to announce, but to listen for another voice.

Lindsey encouraged the grieving congregation to follow Fisher’s example and listen for the voice of God. If they do, he said they will hear a message of hope: Fran Fisher’s soul continues on in life eternal, and those he left behind on earth can find comfort in the love of the Lord. And when Lindsey led the funeral-goers in hymn, they might’ve been singing of Fisher himself:“He speaks and the sound of voice is so sweet the birds hush their singing.” But that voice — that voice that came to represent what Penn State truly was for many fans — will hush birds and call plays no longer. “A great voice has fallen silent,” declared Jay Paterno as he took the pulpit. For Paterno — a lifelong family friend and the nephew of Fisher’s Penn State broadcasting partner, George Paterno — Fisher had a “nobility of purpose” that set him apart from most people. He never acted for selfish gain; everything Fisher did was for the love of the game, the love of broadcasting, the love of Penn State, and the love of his family. Paterno said Fisher had perhaps the greatest gift on earth: No matter where he went, no matter who he spoke to, he left everyone with a smile on their face. Jerry Fisher, who calls his father his professional mentor, spent little time reflecting on Fran Fisher the broadcaster, focusing instead on all the little details: all the times they fished together in the Juniata River when he was child; the time his father“took care of everything” while he was in the hospital with his daughter after a car accident; the time his father held his daughter and sang her a song he’d learned from his own father. “What else can we do but celebrate the life of Fran Fisher?” Jerry asked.

High-rise building proposal heads back to commission By ZACH BERGER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — A proposal for high-rise buildings on East College Avenue has been a point of contention since last summer. The debate’s conclusion has been delayed, however. The State College Borough council sent the proposed amendment back to the planning commission following a long discussion during the May 18 meeting. Council previously voted to recommit the legislation earlier this month, with the intention of voting on specific charges for the planning commission. That process occurred at the meeting, but council had just one minor suggestion for the planning commission involving incentives for ecofriendly buildings. The collegiate housing overlay proposal would allow for buildings up to 11 stories on the 500 block of East College Avenue. These high-rises would need commercial space on the first floor, and to get from the current maximum of seven stories to 11 stories, developers would need to include two floors of professional/graduate student housing, additional commercial space and sustainable building materials and features. During the meeting, council member Tom Daubert expressed concerns about the borough’s ability to enforce the space designated for professional housing. “I can’t see us doing zoning that would be very hard to monitor going along,” he said. “I think planning should simplify the thing and take out some of the parts that the neighborhood doesn’t like.” But council didn’t seem to agree, as the conditional-use portion of the proposed amendment is essentially the only reason it’s currently in front of council. “I think the conditional use part of this plan is the most important and the most innovative,” council member Peter Morris said. “The potential is there for us to set an example for the rest of downtown for mixed housing, students and non-students, in the same building.”

“

Council member Theresa Lafer doesn’t feel all that strongly about the potential for a high-rise building that is primarily occupied by undergraduate students, even if that building requires two floors dedicated to graduate students and professionals. She said that bringing more students into the heart of town will only increase problems for the borough. “We are growing and our number of students are growing, but that doesn’t mean they all need to be able to walk to campus from across the street,” Lafer said. “Thanks to CATA, they can be throughout the Centre region, and given some of the problems we’ve seen with a small, dangerous minority, we need to make sure we are not nesting them all in the same place.” Council president Jim Rosenberger strongly disagreed with the notion that another 100 or so students in a high-rise building within the collegiate housing overlay area would add to student foot traffic in town at night. “Holding this up because we don’t want more students in the Highlands ignores the facts,” Rosenberger said. “Just across College Avenue, you have thousands of students living on campus who will walk through the Highlands to get to fraternity houses, so I don’t see a building here contributing significantly to that at all. I’m in favor of this experiment.” Rosenberger motioned to ask the planning commission to be more precise and specific on what incentives developers would receive for making a building with a Silver LEED Certification, which is a government rating given to buildings that emphasize eco-friendly, sustainable features. The motion passed unanimously, and was the only change ultimately referred to the commission despite a lengthy discussion on the amendment. Council member Catherine Dauler proposed a significant change to the proposal, suggesting that the collegiate overlay be used for exclusively professional housing, as opposed to mixed housing. “I was talking with the mayor of Westchester and they got a lot of advice from consultants about the fact that they had

too much student housing downtown,” Dauler said. “They have created some kind of an overlay district, with three buildings that are all professional housing. I think it would make sense to ask the planning commission to look at this as something that could be all professional housing, and not mixed housing.” The rest of council wasn’t sold on the idea, and so the only task for the planning commission is to elaborate on the incentives for developing an eco-friendly build-

ing. Because the change is so minor, there will potentially be no need for a second public hearing on the amendment before it comes to council again. The first public hearing featured heavy debate among State College residents. The timeline for the future of the collegiate housing overlay text amendment isn’t clear. The planning commission will have to add Rosenberger’s recommendation and return the amendment to council by Monday, July 6.

The advantages of keeping the school in its current location are that it is close to Penn State and is in the heart of the community. “This is where the density of the community is and this where the tradition is,” Goreham said. The project means that taxes will increase over the next few years starting this year. “We know we are going to pay for it, but this is how a community stays strong — with education,” Goreham said. “You have to pay for quality education.” Last month, the board awarded bids for the project’s first phase of site work. By the late summer, the school board is set to award bids for the remaining site and facility work, O’Donnell said. The school has hired a construction management firm to outline spaces that will and will not be available for teaching over the course of the next couple years.

center, said Amber Concepcion, the current president of the school board. “It will be nice to have spaces actually built for that program,” Concepcion said about the school’s current career and technical center, which was not built for its current purpose. “It took many years and many community members coming together to solidify this project,” Fishbaine added. There was a strong effort to move the school to a new location and to divide the school into two separate schools, but State College Mayor Elizabeth Goreham said in an interview that board members rose above their individual preferences to realize that the school needed to stay in its current location. The students overwhelmingly wanted the school to stay in its current location, too, she added.

and registered voters could cast ballots in number of different races, including the Centre County commissioners, treasurer and controller, as well as district judge. There were also several candidates running for positions in the State College Borough Council and for the board of directors for both the State College Area and Bellefonte Area board of school directors. Five nominees ran on the Democrat ticket for seats in State College’s Borough Council, and David Brown, Jesse Barlow, Janet Engeman and Catherine Dauler secured the four open slots, according to the elections office. Republican candidate for Centre County Sheriff Bryan Sampsel received 4,610 votes compared to Richard Swank, who received 2,152, meaning Sampsel will face Democratic challenger Matthew Rickard in the general election. Democrats Mark Higgins and Michael Pipe, on the Democratic ticket, will face Chris Exarchos and Steven Glenn Dershem, on the Republican ticket, in the general election for seats on the Board of Commissioners. Tom Jordan, who cross-filed, will run unopposed for district judge. More results for the 2015 primary municipal election can be found on the Cen-

lines outside the polling places during hotly contested elections. But, at around 4 p.m. on May 19, still four hours before polling closed, Venegoni said turnout was running slow. Only 22 people had voted at precinct 34 by around 4 p.m., she said. “It’s so important to vote even in local elections because often times these are the people that have more impact on the daily life here,� Venegoni said. Gabby Rosado, a senior from Bellefonte Area High School volunteering at the polling center in the State College municipal building, said voter turnout was much slower than for the November gubernatorial election that she also volunteered for. She said she suspects it is because Penn State’s spring semester has ended and many college students have left the area. Junior and seniors at the Bellefonte Area High School helped at polling places throughout the county, Rosado said. She said the goal of helping is to provide students with the opportunity to learn how primary elections work. These students are also paid about $110 for helping for the entire day, she added. Polls were open from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m.

At polls, low voter turnout throughout the county By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

PLEASANT GAP — It was a light day at the polls on Election Day throughout Centre County. That was especially true at The Oaks in Pleasant Gap. Close to 9 a.m., the polls had been open for two hours and only 13 registered voters had stopped by. “We’re not surprised,� said Joan Andrews, judge of elections for Spring Townships’s 87th precinct, regarding the low voter turnout. “We were warned by the election office. There’s very little on the ballot. Who’s running? Everything is uncontested.� For Andrews and her crew, there was little to do on this day. It was just a matter of sitting and waiting for voters to walk through the door. In the interim, there were magazines and newspapers to look through to pass the time. Her workers, she said, were looking forward to lunch — and dinner. “Some people bring work in. I’m retired, so I don’t have any work to bring in,� Andrews said with a laugh.

It was just one of those primary elections that not many voters get excited about, Andrews said. “The big one will be in the fall. That’s when you’ll see more people.� Outside of The Oaks, there was little traffic. However, Ellwood Williams Jr., of Centre Hall, was there trying to help District Judge Tom Jordan get re-elected. He handed out Post-It notes and flyers to those walking into The Oaks to vote. “We wanted to help our good friend out,� Williams said. “This is where Tom asked us to be today and that’s why we’re here.� Williams said he believes it’s your civic duty to cast a ballot. “We really wanted to encourage people to vote, however they vote,� Williams said. “Just come in and exercise your right to vote.� Although not many had passed through the door at The Oaks, Williams was hopeful. “It’s a nice, sunny day. Hopefully, people will come out and exercise their right to vote,� he said. “That’s how our country runs.�

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Braund seeks role on alumni council Now that May has arrived it is time to file another lawsuit against Penn State — oops! I mean it’s time to vote for PSU Alumni Council members. The balloting time frame is May 11-31. This letter seeks support for electing Wendy E. Braund (’01 Med) to the PSU Alumni Council. Since 2010, she has represented the College of Medicine Alumni Society (as president) and served one elected term on alumni council. Now she wishes to continue to serve a second term as an elected member. As state health officer in the Wyoming Department of Health, she has returned from Cheyenne at her own expense for every alumni council meeting. She is a life member and sustaining life member of the PSU Alumni Association; member of the Legislative Education and Advocacy Committee and past member of the Budget and Finance and Diversity committees, member of the Penn State Grass Roots Network, Golden Lion Society, President’s Club and President’s Circle. She is a graduate alumna who did not attend main campus and was a “non-traditional” student who believes it is critical to nurture ties between component societies and the alumni association. Further, she wants to promote opportunities for interaction among students and graduates of all Penn State campuses, colleges and programs. In 2012, she established the Braund Family Endowed Scholarship in the Penn State College of Medicine. The first scholarship was awarded in 2014. She wants to contribute to the restoration of Penn State’s reputation through the alumni association that plays a vital role in amplifying, coordinating and communicating those efforts. I respectfully seek the votes of Penn State alumni for my daughter Wendy. Darwin G. Braund State College

By The Los Angeles Times

It never made sense for the Pentagon to offer surplus material such as grenade launchers and mine-resistant armored personnel carriers to local law enforcement agencies. The practice helped increase the militarization of the nation’s police, leading to such jarring images as assaultgun-toting officers in full-body armor arriving in armored vehicles to confront demonstrators during the Ferguson, Mo., protests last year. Police officers enforce laws; military units rout enemy combatants and hold territory. Those two missions should not be commingled. So we were heartened by President Barack Obama’s announcement Monday that the federal government will remove some of the more extreme tools of war from the list of free items, including tracked armored vehicles, weaponized aircraft, .50-caliber or higher guns and ammunition,

grenade launchers and bayonets. Police agencies must also make the case that they need some of the items that will still be available, from drones and battering rams to riot helmets and batons. We take heart as well in the president’s reported desire to find a way to retrieve now offlimits items already in the hands of local police. The 1033 Program, named after a section of the National Defense Authorization Act of 1997, is in itself not problematic. Since it began in 1997, it has distributed more than $5.4 billion in excess equipment to 8,000 local law enforcement agencies, most of it office furniture, photocopiers, portable generators, tents and other noncombat items. That’s a smart approach to reduce wasting tax dollars. But giving away grenade launchers and armored personnel carriers for use in American neighborhoods goes too far. The new limits were announced

as the president’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing released its final recommendations, which include a “layered” response to demonstrations to “minimize the appearance of a military operation and avoid using provocative tactics and equipment that undermine civilian trust.” The task force also urged police departments to be more transparent in developing and reviewing policies, and to better track demographic details of encounters with citizens, augmented by post-incident “nonpunitive peer reviews” to determine better procedures. These are sound ideas. As we’ve said before, there is no legitimate reason for law enforcement agencies not to revisit and revise protocols and training that guide how officers engage with their communities. And they should be open about their methods and results, so the public can measure the actions of its protectors.

the same category of frat boys hazing their peers or vandalizing their neighbors’ homes. Part of me thinks that a young man with obvious intellect, without obvious mental illness or incapacity and the ability to plan, hide and execute a crime of such horrific impact can and should face the consequences. I am angry that taxpayers will now be responsible for his care, his legal defense and the appeals which will likely take 10 years. The other part of me wonders if young adults who make horrible, horrible decisions while their brains are still forming might have the greatest capacity for change. A jury of his peers, after hearing all of the evidence and testimony put forth in the courtroom took 15 hours to come to a unanimous decision. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is now the youngest person on federal death row in the United States. A 21-year-old sentenced to death. It’s almost too surreal to process. How are the families of those directly involved able to grapple with their mixed emotions? In interviews with the families and the victims, as well as the first responders and others who provided help that day in Boston, ambivalence is an obvious thread. Martin Richard’s family is opposed to the death penalty and believes that life without parole is sentence enough. Others who were impacted feel that the death sentence is warranted based on the hurt and damage this young man caused in the service of his radical religious and political views. Ms. Norden was quoted as saying that Tsarnaev’s “eye for an eye” retaliation for perceived crimes by the American government has essentially come full circle. Regardless of their position, there are few who believe that sentencing a young man to death is something that should be easy or something to be celebrated. Mixed feelings. Contradictory emotions. Ambivalence.

High pollen levels hitting allergy sufferers hard HERSHEY — Ah, springtime. Sunny days, fresh breezes and everything is in bloom — including seasonal allergies. This year’s harsh winter staved off an early arrival of springtime allergies, but the wet weather that has gardens looking lush and green also means tree pollen — especially oak — has made things worse than usual for those who suffer. Dr. Randy Young, director of pulmonology, allergy and critical care medicine at Penn State Hershey Medical Center, said allergy season typically starts within a few weeks of the last frost. In central Pennsylvania, that usually means mid-April. “The tree growth is really exuberant this year, which is wonderful to look at, but it’s wreaking havoc,� he said. So, how do you know if you have a cold or allergies? If congestion and other allergy-type symptoms come with fever and body aches, but disappear after a few days, it’s likely nothing more than a viral infection. If it lasts longer — and others in your family suffer from allergies — it’s more likely seasonal allergies. Some people are genetically more inclined to suffer from allergies than others, but environment also seems to play a role. “There are a lot of exciting theories about why some people get allergies and others don’t,� Young said. “Some say it depends how much dust and dirt you were exposed to as a kid. Those who live in a rural or farm environment — or with pets — seem to be much less likely to have allergies.� It’s not a very scientific explanation, but the theory

is that when the body’s immune system is preoccupied protecting against more threatening infections, it doesn’t have time or energy to fret over silly annoyances such as allergens. “We live in such hyper-clean environments now that our immune system has time on its hands to do other things,� Young said. There are even some who believe that giving allergy sufferers a limited, mild, worm infection may redirect the immune system to focus on eliminating the parasites and alleviate allergy symptoms. Young said if that seems a bit much, those who get the springtime sniffles can try less invasive means first. Avoiding triggers is the key. In the spring, that might mean not going outdoors on days when the pollen count is high, using air conditioning to cool indoors rather than opening windows, and making sure the filter on the unit is clean. Showering and changing clothes after outdoor activities or yard work can also help control symptoms, since the pollen that accumulates on cars and outdoor furniture also collects on clothing and can hitch a ride indoors that way. Over-the-counter antihistamines do the job for many, while others add nasal sprays or eye drops to their allergyseason treatment routine. Those who still can’t find relief may need to have an allergy evaluation and consider a regimen of allergy shots. After Memorial Day, the tree pollen will give way to grass allergies before a summer lull that precedes the latesummer and early-fall weed and mold allergies.

IT’S THAT TIME of year — high pollen levels are taking a toll on allergy suffers.

Pennsylvania Dental Association Zuniga joins medical practice installs Newman as president their oral health care needs. According to the Dental Lifeline Network, the volunteer dentists in the DDS program served more than 250 patients between Jan. 1 and March 31, and donated more than $760,000 in dental services. Newman is concerned about the high level of student loan debt for recent dental school graduates and its impact on patients’ access to care in small towns. He noted that dental students average about $200,000 in student loan debt. That forces many of them to join large group practices with higher salaries, rather than work at smaller offices or clinics in rural or urban areas. PDA has advocated for increasing funding for the state’s student loan forgiveness program in an effort to keep dentists in Pennsylvania’s rural areas and underserved city neighborhoods.

BELLEFONTE — The Pennsylvania Dental Association recently installed Dr. Wade Newman, of Bellefonte, as its new president during the association’s Dental Meeting and Expo in Hershey. Newman wants to expand PDA’s efforts to educate Pennsylvanians, especially seniors, about the importance of quality oral health care. “Pennsylvania, like many other states, has an aging population,� Newman said. “Oral health is vital to a person’s overall health outlook. This is even more critical as a person gets older. Seeing a dentist regularly is the key to good oral health.� A longtime PDA leader, Newman was instrumental in advocating for the reinstatement of funding for the state’s Donated Dental Services Program, which connects the state’s most vulnerable citizens with dentists who voluntarily treat

STATE COLLEGE — Mount Nittany Health recently announced the addition of Dr. Tania Zuniga to Mount Nittany Physician Group’s family medicine practice. “I became a family medicine physician because I wanted to not just be a clinician but an advocate, counselor and information source for my patients,� Zuniga said. “I want to be there for my patients across the entire frame of a lifetime.� Zuniga received a bachelor’s degree from California State University in Long Beach, Calif., and her medical degree from Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara in Jalisco, Mexico. She completed her family medicine residency at Williamsport Regional Medical Center.

Zuniga will provide family medicine at Mount Nittany Health-Green Tech Drive, located at 2520 Green Tech Drive, Suite C, State College. “I am excited to join Mount Nittany Physician Group because we share the same mission.

Farmers’ Markets Local markets score big in Centre County AARONSBURG — Scott Case and his wife, Eda, operate Patchwork Farms, located at 476 Jackson Hill Road in Aaronsburg. They transport their produce to the farmers’ markets in State College and Boalsburg. “We are the second generation to operate the farm and it’s been 24 years since we took it over. Eda’s mother started doing the markets first,” Case said. This year was challenging. The winter weather took a toll. “The biggest problem with this year’s winter weather was that it made it hard to move the young plants from building to building,” Case said. Connie Cousins “Of course, it took a lot covers a wide more heat also for the variety of events in greenhouses. We had Centre County for a slower start, but just the Centre County about everything has Gazette. Email her caught up now.” at ccous67@gmail. Patchwork has com. herbs and vegetables growing that are certified organic. The young plants, such as tomatoes, peppers and eggplant, are not yet in the fields, but safe from frost in the greenhouses. “When the temperature dipped this past week, my wife was out at 3 a.m. putting 50 degree water on the plants to keep them from frost injury,” said Case. “In about two weeks we should have lettuce and peas ready for the farm markets. We will join the others at the Boalsburg Market and State College Market as soon as the three young people I’ve hired are graduated and ready to work.” Patchwork has already opened its flower market in the parking lot of Office Depot along the Benner Pike. The market carries a variety of perennials and annuals in flats, hanging baskets and other containers.

I recently was carrying a cloth bag down McCallister Street and passed a friend. “Farmers’ market?” she asked. That was exactly where I was going — both to gather material for this article and to see what I might want to buy. It is wonderful to have the markets starting up again and most everyone I know enjoys selecting fresh produce. Early in the season, most carry some bedding plants and seeds, also. The Tuesday State College Farmers’ Market on Locust Lane is open on Tuesdays from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. On Fridays, different vendors set up at the site for the Downtown State College Farmers’ Market, also from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. This past Friday, there were tables with fresh lettuce, onions and baby zucchini. Hungry for a nice fresh pie or some homemade cookies? You can find them there. At one end of the street a vendor was selling colorful, healthy tomato plants. There were many buyers for fresh asparagus, and vendors offered sassafras and mint tea samples. The North Atherton Farmers’ Market is operated on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the State College Home Depot Parking Lot. Lemont Farmers’ Market is a Wednesday market and new hours this year are from 3 to 7 p.m., through Oct. 21. Sue Smith, chair of the Lemont Village Association Board, helps organize the market.

“Anna Kochersperger is our new manager of the Lemont farmers’ market and we look forward to her working with us and for the community. We have received a grant from the Central PA Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Centre County commissioners and we will use that for our marketing,” Smith said. The vendors at the Lemont market show their wares in the Coal Sheds, the lower part of the Granary buildings between the Grain Elevator and the Center for Well Being, at 133 Mount Nittany Road.

Former U.S. Air Force gunner wins first place in challenge By MORIAH NASTASI Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — Mike Butler appears to be like any other Penn State student at first glance. But get to know him, and you will learn that two years ago he was flying over Afghanistan as a gunner on an AC-130, a heavily armed ground attack aircraft. “I remember receiving my acceptance letter to Penn State,” said Butler. “I was in a computer lab inside a plywood building while in Afghanistan.” As a single 24-year-old at the time, starting a new chapter in his life as a college student was exciting to him. He hung up his uniform and turned to books. “The military period of my life is over, but I still want to make an impact,” Butler said. “Which is why I plan to make a difference at Penn State by being innovative and getting involved.” For Butler, that innovation and impact began with the mHealth Challenge. Butler participated in the mHealth Challenge during IST Startup Week, a weeklong series of events at University Park campus that brings together teams of students from the College of Information Sciences and Technology and the Department of Biobehavioral Health. As part of the challenge, each team is asked to create a mock-up of a mobile health application that addresses a social health need of a target audience. “BBH students are the health experts, while IST students are the technology experts,” said Lee Erickson, an IST lecturer and undergraduate studies entrepreneurship academic program coordinator who created the event with Meg Small, assistant director of the Bennett Pierce Prevention Research Center. “To create a mobile app for a specific health need, both BBH and IST students must be able to translate their expertise — and that is what makes the mHealth Challenge so challenging.” BBH students identify a societal health need, write a brief on the problem, define the target audience and determine the behavior to be changed. They then consult with IST students who create a mock-up of an app. Each crosscollege team then presents their idea to a panel of judges.

Blake earns degree

As an IST student concentrating on integration and application, Butler worked on the technological aspect of the project. He and his team came up with a mobile app called Outpost. “The app links outdoor enthusiasts together,” Butler said. “It allows you to geo-locate where and when you are doing your outdoor activities — kind of like a (Facebook) status. That way, like-minded people can join you.” The team had only two weeks to create Outpost, but working with others on a deadline was familiar to Butler. “My time in the military didn’t just teach me how to work in teams,” he said, “it taught me how to do so effectively.” He said he connected with the BBH students on his team, who were interested in the work he was doing and followed every technological step he took. “The BBH students on my team were very curious and always wanted to contribute,” said Butler. Professor JoAnn Foley-DeFiore involves her BBH students in the mHealth Challenge. “My students are always astonished by how much IST students know about technology and how much they are able to do on a computer.” Faculty members provide a suggested schedule and mentor teams during the two weeks to help them shape their ideas and pitches. Butler’s team presented its idea to a panel of two judges, Todd Erdley, president and CEO of Videon, and John Sun Kim, founding CEO of DoctorBase and Five9. By the end of the judging, Outpost had taken first place in the mHealth Challenge. But Butler got more than just bragging rights. “A few days after the event, John Kim spoke to mHealth Challenge participants about ways to effectively pitch business ideas to investors,” said Butler. “I think what intrigued me the most was his straightforwardness and overall energy. After listening to him speak, I approached him and asked if I could pick his brain. He accepted.” During their three-hour conversation, Butler told Kim about his military experience, including his four deployments to Afghanistan and his 157 combat missions. They also chatted about Kim’s company, and by the end of the conversation, Kim was giving Butler advice about what classes to schedule in upcoming semesters and offering

He also invited Butler to San Francisco so he can introduce him to his colleagues. Butler accepted Kim’s invitation and plans to visit him this summer. “Being in the military taught me how to pull from every available resource and use it to my advantage,” said Butler. In this case, that advantage was his Penn State education — an asset that took him from a plywood computer lab in Afghanistan to a high-rise building in San Francisco.

Boy Scout creates memorial for buried veterans By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — One year ago, Boy Scout Tim Breon, a member of Troop 20 in Centre Hall, was putting flags on veterans’ graves in Union Cemetery in Farmers Mills, along with his father, Jeff Breon, Troop 20 Scoutmaster. When they finished, they had six flags left over, and noticed six flags from the previous year stuck in the ground nearby. With his curiosity aroused, Tim Breon contacted retired Penns Valley High School history teacher and Civil War historian Jeffry Wert to help determine if there might be unmarked graves in the cemetery. Breon made a trip to the Centre County courthouse to investigate the situation, and found the names of six veterans — one soldier from the Revolutionary War, one from the War of 1812 and four from the Civil War — buried in Union Cemetery who do not have headstones there. “I went to the courthouse, and they pulled up records that say they are buried there, but we don’t know exactly where,” Breon said. He decided that constructing a memorial to theses soldiers would make a good Eagle Scout project. Breon suggested his idea to Tim Zerby, a member of the Union Church Cemetery Association, who invited him to present his idea at a meeting of the association. The group agreed to his proposal, but upped

the ante a bit. “I was thinking of something small, like wooden benches around the trees, but they said they wanted something more permanent. They said they would like granite benches, or anything in granite,” Breon said. “I said, ‘No problem.’ I had no worries of raising enough money to do the memorial, however my dad had other thoughts. He knew what granite costs, but I knew I could raise enough money. I had no fear and wanted to be challenged.” Breon rose to that challenge, with his fundraising efforts netting $7,700 in cash and material donations for the project. He researched materials and produced a preliminary design, which he presented to Nittany Engineering in Centre Hall for some final design assistance. He found a company in Connecticut to make the granite benches, and approached local businesses for other material donations. He also organized a successful Valentine’s Day spaghetti dinner to help fund his project. Work began this spring on construction, with Breon leading a group of friends, family and community volunteers in putting in many hours of work. At the dedication ceremony on May 16, Breon thanked all who helped financially with his project. The list of donors included many Centre County American Legion and VFW posts, Lions clubs, Kiwanis clubs, Masons, Oddfellows and other civic

Attendees at the dedication ceremony issued favorable comments on the attractive design of the memorial. The finished memorial consists of a triangular stone

CENTRE HALL — The Grange Fairgrounds’ large blue commercial building was filled with more than 300 players when the Women’s Auxiliary of the Centre Hall Fire Company hosted the first-ever Grange Fair Bingo event on May 17. The event was a fundraiser for the all-volunteer fire company and featured prized donated by vendors who appear at the Grange Fair. Auxiliary member Jenn Tice was the hostess for the event. She credited fellow auxiliary member Danette Strouse for originating the idea of having the event at the fairgrounds. “We’ve had bingo before at the American Legion, but this (building) seats so many more people,” Tice said. The Centre Hall Fire Company held an annual carnival with rides, food stands and a parade as a fundraiser for several decades, but it was discontinued a few years ago when it became unprofitable. “Between this and our gun raffle, we make more than the carnival did,” said fire company member Jack Muthersbaugh. “And it doesn’t depend on the weather.” Fire company and auxiliary members were kept busy cooking and serving food throughout the afternoon to hungry customers.

SAM STITZER/For the Gazette

BRIAN TICE called the numbers during Centre Hall Fire Company’s fundraiser bingo.

A 50-50 raffle was also held as an additional fundraiser. The crowd was hushed as Tice’s husband, Brian, called numbers during the games, the silence broken only when a player yelled “Bingo!” — followed by a collective groan from the other players, who needed “just one more number.” Grange Fair Queen Emily Allegar handed out prizes to the lucky winners. Tice said the fire company has a fiveyear contract with the Grange Fair Committee for future bingo events at the site.

Children’s Fair is a tradition in Bellefonte

BELLEFONTE — Since 1949, the families of Bellefonte have celebrated the end of the school year with the Children’s Fair. Always held the first Saturday in June, this one-day event features food, games, activities and entertainment for the whole family — and raises money for the community’s parks. This year, the fair will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, June 6, at the intersection of Curtin and Armor streets in Bellefonte. Seven years ago, Historic Bellefonte Inc.

was looking for volunteers to take over this popular event. No one wanted to see this decade’s old tradition drop by the wayside for lack of community support. The freshly chartered Bellefonte Sunrise Rotary Club stepped in. The Children’s Fair always takes its chance with the weather. Last year, it was held on one of the hottest days of the year, which gave a real shot in the arm to the Kiwanis’ ice cream sales and prompted a demand for bottled water.

Like almost everything at the fair, food sales are a cooperative activity. Local churches sell the pizza and lemonade, and run the Create-a-Cookie Booth. The Bellefonte High School Fine Arts Booster Club sells hot dogs and hamburgers. Danny Miller’s shaved ice and Dave King’s funnel cakes are always big hits. When the BSRC took responsibility for the fair, it worked with the YMCA to revamp the games — adding some, replacing some, refurbishing some and even eliminating some. The high school swim team operates the games and collects the tickets. State Sen. Jake Corman, R-Bellefonte, provides one of the most popular attractions — the moon bounce. The Bellefonte Community Band anchors the central entertainment area with a medley of favorites. The entertainment gives the opportunity for local kids to show

off their talent. The performers include Irish dancers, the American Raiders Baton Corp. and the Happy Valley Cloggers, just to name a few. The Master Gardeners of Centre County and the Bellefonte Garden Club offer interesting items for the parents, as well. All of the proceeds from the fair are used to improve the children’s facilities at Bellefonte parks. So far, the BSRC has helped the borough add playground equipment at the Teener League Park and helped the YMCA put a new slide into the borough swimming pool. This year’s fair will support the borough’s efforts to build an entirely new playground at Governor’s Park, the borough’s largest park. For more information, visit the Bellefonte Sunrise Rotary Club’s Facebook page.

SPRING MILLS — The second annual Tastes and Treasures fundraising event for Housing Transitions took place on May 3 at Seven Mountains Wine Cellars. More than 50 participants enjoyed tastes from local caterers, including Brown Dog Catering, M&C Cakery, Paul’s Provisions and Village Eating House, paired with wine from Seven Mountains Wine Cellars. Guests were invited to bring along a “treasure” to be appraised by Roger Snyder, of Apple Hill Antiques.

Vietnam vets remember the war, their experiences By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Three area Vietnam War veterans recently met to share their experiences, thoughts and opinions of the war. Ryan McCombie, a retired Navy SEAL, Brent Pasquinelli, a former Army engineer, and Bruce Heim, a former Army Airborne Ranger, discussed Vietnam and the effect it had on their lives. The war was unpopular with the American public, and was seen by many as an unnecessary conflict. This produced two very different perspectives among the troops, according to the gathered trio. Troops who had been drafted saw their service strictly as fulfilling a legal obligation, while officers saw it as a step in their career path. Pasquinelli described his feelings upon arriving in Vietnam. “I landed there in 1969. I was 19 years of age. Within three or four days, my head was spinning from two things: poor morale among the troops, even the officers, and the people tested us — they didn’t want us there,” Pasquinelli said. McCombie concurred with Pasquinelli that the South Vietnamese people did not want the American troops in their country. He noted the history of Vietnam, and how it had been occupied by numerous other countries: China, Japan (during World War II) and France, which had colonized Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. The Vietnamese defeated the French in 1954, and beginning in the late 1950s American advisers began arriving with the goal of preventing Vietnam from becoming a communist state. “They finally throw off the yoke of France, and in comes the United States,” said McCombie. “They saw us as just another colonist country. I doubt if they knew why we were there.” Pasquinelli described the Vietnamese as “gentle people.” During his stay in Vietnam, McCombie lived with Vietnamese civilians. “It absolutely gave me a different perspective on the world. That was the first time I was exposed to people very different from me who had homes, who had families, who had hopes, wishes and dreams,” said McCombie. The vets agreed that Vietnam was a different type of war — a jungle guerilla-type with no clearly defined battle lines — than previous wars. “We fought it according to World War II strategy and tactics, but it was a different war,” said McCombie. “Taking and holding land was useless.” The men talked about their daily experiences in Vietnam. “My experience was from absolute, complete boredom to sheer terror. I think that can be said for any war,” said Pasquinelli. McCombie agreed with his assessment. “You get into a routine — this is what you do — and then you have those moments or events interspersed in that routine,” he said. McCombie spoke of how returning Vietnam veterans were treated by a sometimes hostile American public. “When I came back from Vietnam, at Travis Air Force Base (in California), I walked out of the airport to get my civilian flight, I went through the protest lines of San Francisco, where they were throwing things at us,” he said. “The bottom line is we know what we did and we’re

The North Vietnamese mounted the Tet offensive in January 1968. Vets, Page 17

Vets, from page 15 It was an all-out attempt to overthrow the South Vietnamese government, but was crushed by the Americans and allies. It was a military victory, but a political loss, fostering mistrust in the government. “Our government had gone out and said we won this war, but the journalists said, ‘If we already won the war and destroyed these people, how in the world could they do this?’” said McCombie. “We won the battle, but lost the war at that point,” said Pasquinelli. The vets agreed that their Vietnam War experiences have affected their lives in major ways. “By almost losing your life, you come out of that experience with a sense of urgency and gusto as to how to approach life, and since that time I have always tried to

grab as much life as possible,” said Pasquinelli. The other vets agreed that they value life more since their Vietnam service. Heim noted that Vietnam veterans are rapidly disappearing from the American population. “The death rate (of Vietnam veterans) is 600 a day, and in less than 10 years at the same attrition rate, there will be no veterans alive from Vietnam, and the death rate of Vietnam vets is way faster than the general population,” he said. Pasquinelli summed up his overall feelings about the war. “In spite of all the low morale among the ranks and the officers, and not having the backing of most of the country, and the political controversy, I have so much respect — completely inspiring — that under the most difficult circumstances you can imagine, we still prevailed, and that I am very proud of,” he said.

Boalsburg means Memorial Day, museums and more located in Harris Township, just a few miles southeast of State College. “It has the small-town values and small-town characteristics you expect to find in a hamlet like this. It’s a quaint, nice little community, very comfortable. A peaceful place.” Graham ought to know. The 71-year-old has lived in the downtown area of Boalsburg his entire life, is on the Harris Township board of supervisors and is a trustee of the Boalsburg Fire Company. The Boalsburg population, according to Graham, “has been growing about 4 percent a year and is now on the verge of 5,000.” Boalsburg’s biggest claim to fame is as the site of the first Memorial Day commemorative event. “Memorial Day was created here in Boalsburg,” said Graham, “though originally it was known as Decoration Day.” Three Boalsburg ladies, as the story goes, decorated the graves of Civil War soldiers in the Boalsburg Cemetery in 1864, a custom that has been continued every year since in the village. The practice became commonplace in communities around the nation and maintained the Decoration Day moniker until 1967 when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed legislation renaming it Memorial Day. Boalsburg’s annual Day in Towne Festival is held on Memorial Day and has been for about 40 years, complementing the carnival that the Boalsburg Fire Company has been putting on since the 1930s on

MAIN STREET in Boalsburg features a variety of shops and restaurants. Memorial Day weekend. The carnival runs from Thursday, May 21, through Monday, May 25. The Day in Towne event, meanwhile, is something of a mix between a street fair and an arts festival. It draws as many as 25,000 to the village in one day. Boalsburg also has an affecting historical ambiance. The Boalsburg Historic District has a pleasant collection of residences, shops and other businesses strung out along the length of Main Street. The historic district, along with the community’s Hill House and Boal Mansion, are all listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Boalsburg has two interesting museums that recently opened for the 2015 season. The Boalsburg Heritage Museum is in the restored Sara Sweet House on East Main Street, originally built in 1825. The historic home is now furnished with mostly Victorian-era furnishings and implements, and has a re-created country store display and several separate re-created historic buildings on its grounds. Columbus Chapel and Boal Mansion Museum are located on the 200-year-old Boal estate just off of Business Route 322. The mansion has original furnishings and several exhibit rooms featuring various kinds of implements used through the centuries by the family that founded the village. Also on the grounds is the separate Columbus Chapel, which was imported to the Boal Estate from Spain in 1909 as part of a Boal family’s inheritance. The chapel features an admiral’s desk, which, according to a museum representative, belonged to Christopher Columbus. The Columbus Chapel also contains art and statuary from the 14th through 17th centuries. The Boal Mansion Museum’s Country Life Room has a stage coach and other

implements from centuries past. The Weapons Room is filled with historic firearms, swords and knives. The Ship Room features a scale model of the Santa Maria ship, among other items. The Boal Mansion Museum has a new director for the 2015 season — Robert Cameron, of Boalsburg. There are two top-notch full-service restaurants in Boalsburg. Duffy’s Tavern is a very popular Victorian tavern on Main Street. The huge steer sitting atop Kelly’s Steak and Seafood (formerly Boalsburg Steakhouse), along with its tasty food, makes it all but impossible to miss on Boal Avenue. And the Pump Station Cafe, a casual breakfast and lunch spot, is in a building that was originally a gas station. The Tussey Mountain Ski Area is on the eastern edge of Boalsburg. The all-season recreation area offers not only 38 acres worth of skiing but also a zip line, skate park, golf, go-karts and batting cages, as well as an amphitheater for live musical performances. The Pennsylvania Military Museum is another Boalsburg attraction. It features a changing array of exhibits, public events such as memorial services, veterans’ reunions and living history encampments. The Wall of Honor at the front façade of the museum is decorated with military service ribbons that have been awarded to Pennsylvania veterans throughout the last century. Boalsburg also has several bed-andbreakfast properties. “If you’re looking for an area to visit for an afternoon or an overnight, Boalsburg is a friendly, safe place to come,” said Graham. “You might even get caught up in it and want to move here.”

Turning it up a notch

State High crushes Altoona in District 6 Class AAAA playoff tilt, 10-0 By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Talk about a killer instinct. The State College Area High School softball team jumped on Altoona early and never let up in a 10-0 drubbing of the Lady Mountain Lions in a District 6 Class AAAA playoff tilt at Community Field. State High sent 11 batters to the plate in the second frame, exploding for seven runs in a game that was shortened by the 10-run rule. “I’m happy with how we played,” said State College head coach Mike Harper. “We hit very well up and down the lineup. Our focus has been trying to move runners and do things with the short game, moving kids around. In the playoffs, those things matter. I thought we executed our game plan.” State College jumped on Altoona in the bottom of the first. Kayla Hawbaker reached on an error, stole second base and scored on a single up the middle by Alyssa Shedlock. Starting pitcher Jess Henderson helped her own cause with a single to center that plated Shedlock. Just like that, it was 2-0. State High really erupted in the second inning. A leadoff single by Cory Marfitt was followed by a pair of bunt singles by the No. 8 and 9 hitters,

MEMBERS OF THE State College Area High School softball team celebrate during a 10-0, five-inning victory over Altoona in a District 6 Class AAAA playoff game. Abby Allen and Avery Cymbor. That got the carousel rolling. Andrea Myers had the big blow in the frame, a two-run triple to the right-center field gap. When the dust settled, it was 9-0 in favor of State High. It was the perfect storm for the Lady

Little Lions. Harper said that the bunt singles were keys in the frame. “We’re pretty fast. We’re an athletic team. We need to be able to take advantage of that because in the playoffs you see really good pitching. We know the

short game has to be a part of what we do. With the team speed (we have), we wanted to focus on that tonight,” Harper said. Up 9-0, the Lady Little Lions added to their lead. In the bottom of the fourth, Shields was hit by a pitch. She was removed for a

pinch runner. A double to left field by Brenna Adams plated the 10th and crucial run. In the fifth, Altoona got Lindsey Fasolo aboard, but she was quickly eliminated by a double play. Nolan got Merena Simington out for the final out of the contest. It was an ugly end to the season for the Mountain Lions and second-year head coach Allie DiBona. “All season long, we’ve been trying to improve our skills and fundamentals,” DiBona explained. “We’ve been trying to be more consistency, especially with fielding and hitting. That was definitely something we needed a little bit more of today.” Shedlock led the way for State High with three RBIs. Adams and Morfitt each had two hits. Nearly everyone in the Little Lion lineup had a hit. It was, quite simply, one of those days. Everything was clicking for Harper’s squad. Altoona saw its season end at 6-14. State College improved to 13-8 with the lopsided win. “We’ve been playing really well lately,” Harper said. “This is about us. It’s not about who we’re playing necessarily. We did the things we’re supposed to do. We hit well, we pitched well, we ran the bases well and we played good defense. That’s what you want to be doing in playoff games.”

Lady Mounties beat Bishop McCort By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

PHILIPSBURG — It was all about patience for PhilipsburgOsceola in its District 6 Class AA second-round playoff game against Bishop McCort on May 18. The Lady Mounties and sophomore pitcher Maggie Peck nursed early leads of one run, two runs and then three runs, keeping McCort at bay and knowing that, historically, something was soon to happen. It did. P-O finally boiled over with six runs in the bottom of the sixth inning and overwhelmed a very good Lady Crusher team, 9-0. Kenzie Burge hit her second home run of the game, a threerun shot, and Hannah Thompson, Peck and Megan Bainey all had RBIs as the Mounties batted around in the decisive sixth and turned a close chess match into a comfortable win. Peck held up her part of the bargain on the mound as well. She allowed just three hits, struck out six and walked four in a completegame shutout. “In such a close game, you have to always play your best no matter what,” Peck said. “I had confidence in my team that they would produce offensively, because they always do, so I did my best to keep them (McCort) down and keep them from scoring.” As for Burge, it’s hard to imagine a hitter in a better groove. In the last two weeks she’s moved her season batting average to well over

.600, and she was a perfect 3-for-3 with four RBIs against McCort. She opened the scoring in the first inning with a two-out homer to right field, was hit by a pitch in the third, singled in the fifth and then put things away with her three-run rainbow that traveled far over the center field wall in the sixth. “You know, Coach (Jim Gonder) always preaches about getting our best swings in at the end of the season,” Burge said, “and I’ve just been working hard and making sure I do that. I’m trying to stay with the fundamentals and just swinging the bat.” P-O needed its leather to stonewall two early threats by the Lady Crushers as the game began. In the first, McCort put runners at first and third with one out after hits by Autumn Gossard and pitcher Jenna Gaunt. When Gaunt broke for second in McCort’s firstand-third play, P-O catcher Kylie Thal faked a throw to second and caught Gossard too far off the bag at third for the second out. Jillian Shroyer then popped out to end the inning. In the second, Jordan Shroyer reached with a one-out single. But Peck got Jennifer Shroyer (that’s right, three Shroyers) to ground into a fielder’s choice out, and after a walk, struck out Leah Holtz the end the inning. “Defensively, I thought we played very well today,” P-O head coach Jim Gonder said. “We had that pickoff at third base, and I thought Kylie (Thal) did a great job behind the plate keeping them off

balance.” After the two escapes, Peck settled down and retired the next nine hitters in a row while P-O slowly added to its lead with single runs in the third and fifth. But the game was still just 3-0 when Thal’s arm again thwarted McCort. Leadoff hitter Tori Sipe led off the Crusher sixth with a sharp single to left. Peck then ran a 2-0 count on Gossard when Sipe broke for second base. Thal’s throw was perfect, and instead of a growing threat, McCort then went quietly with a pop out and a grounder to shortstop. Which brought P-O to the plate in the sixth. After nine batters, four singles, a walk and Burge’s blast, it was 9-0 and the Mounties had reserved their spot in the semifinals. “We played a great game defensively,” Burge said. “We had some really great defensive plays made by everyone. To keep a team like McCort down to no runs, that says a lot about our defense. “And Maggie (Peck) as a pitcher, too. She hit her spots and we played defense the whole game.” P-O takes on Mountain League foe Central in a District 6 semifinal. Much is riding on the outcome of the game. The winner, of course, advances to the district final, but since two AA teams qualify for the state tournament, the winner will also advance to that no matter what happens in the district final game. And Central, despite its No. 11 seed, looms as a difficult, and familiar, opponent for the Mounties.

Bald Eagle Area sees its season end in upset loss By TODD IRWIN For the Gazette

MILESBURG — As black storm clouds loomed in the distance, the Bald Eagle Area softball team’s chances of overcoming Central’s one-run lead in the sixth inning appeared dismal.

Fran Fisher left indelible mark on PSU community

PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

Pat Rothdeutsch is a sports writer for The Centre County Gazette. Email him at sports@ centrecounty gazette.com

I was also here in State College visiting friends in 1967 and saw Penn State lose to then-No. 3 UCLA, 17-15, on a blocked punt in the final minutes. That was a game that I will not easily forget. But it was “TV Quarterbacks” on WPSX, moderated and produced by Fisher, that — true to its calling — recruited me once and for all into becoming one of the Lion faithful. I watched the Wednesday night show without fail. Fisher, Joe Paterno and Jim Tarman showed clips of the previous week’s game, analyzed plays, welcomed guest players (from stars to walk-ons) and looked ahead to the next opponent. Tarman, Fisher and Paterno were a joy to watch. Athletic director Tarman was factual and informative, but Paterno was always his roguish self and honest almost to a fault. Fisher used his down-home style and

Like countless other Penn State football fans, my first real introduction to the Nittany Lions’ team came through Fran Fisher. Oh, I knew about Penn State football before Fisher arrived in the PSU athletic department in 1966. My dad was a big fan, and we would watch the Lions on TV when we could (the 1959 20-18 loss to eventual national champion Syracuse comes to mind), but in those days, the team was not on TV very often.

constant smile to draw out the two, and the result was a tremendously informative and entertaining show. Fisher produced and appeared on “TV Quarterbacks” for 18 years, which was an extremely long and very successful run. Nevertheless, I was very sad to see it go. When I was here on campus myself, I never actually met Fisher, but I would see him everywhere. That was not surprising, given his long list of positions and accomplishments since he arrived at Penn State in 1966: assistant athletic director, executive director of the Nittany Lion Club, radio analyst and play-by-play voice, sports specials host and producer for WPSX-TV, host of the Nittany Lion hotline radio show, life member of the Penn State Alumni Association, honorary member of the Lettermen’s Association and, finally, owner of the Fran Fisher and Sons advertising agency. All of those endeavors were related to, revolved around or benefited Penn State in some way. Fisher, who was 91, passed away on May 13. He leaves an indelible mark on the university that he served for more than five decades, and there has since been a tremendous outpouring of praise and admiration for Fisher from Penn Staters everywhere. On May 14, the Penn State Athletic Office released a long list of tributes from a wide variety of people associated with the university. Of them all, I think Bud Meredith, the director of ticket operations, said it best:

FRAN FISHER celebrated his 91st birthday in the media room at Beaver Stadium last year. “When you think of Fran, you think of Penn State. He was the ultimate Penn State fan and supporter. He believed in Penn State and being a part of Penn State. He was a sweetheart of a person. I have so much respect for Fran and his wife, Charlotte. He is the voice of Penn State and always will be.”

Penn State football adds Danny Dalton By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State’s class of 2016 picked up its latest member as Marshfield, Mass., tight end Danny Dalton committed to the Nittany Lions on May 16. Dalton had previously been committed to Boston College before reopening his recruitment.

ADVENTURE AWAITS

He had visited Penn State at least twice prior to making the call. His commitment to Penn State is the seventh of the 2016 class and the first tight end. The 6-foot-5, 230-pound prospect is a three-star prospect across all recruiting outlets and caught 56 passes for 765 yards and nine touchdowns as a junior. He is ranked as the 212nd best player in the class of 2016 by the 247 Network.

Philipsburg blanks Lemont in county league clash By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

“It’s always good to square up on your first one of the year,” Curtis said. “A nice little release there and they drove me in like always. A good start for the Buccos.” In the fourth, Cody Doran and Jeremy Beals led the inning off with singles. After an out, Doran scored on an error, Curtis walked and the Watson helped himself by driving in the Pirates’ third run with a single. Marcinko then followed with a two-run triple, with his second and third RBI, that ballooned Philipsburg’s lead to 5-0. Lemont threatened in the bottom of the fourth after a one-out single by Calvin Sichler and two walks, but Watson struck out Zach Smeal and Collin Pasch to end the threat. Another RBI by Watson in the sixth, along with a sacrifice fly by Matt McCamley and an RBI double by A.J. Robinson made the score 8-0, and Watson skated out from there. “Parker (Watson) was awesome,” Lemont coach Melissa Hicks said. “He was hitting on all cylinders, I guess you would say. “Our guys weren’t used to seeing that calibre of pitching, they’re a little bit young, but these kids love the game and it’s a joy to watch them play and to give them the opportunity to do it. We can only go up.” Sichler led the Ducks with two hits, and Kyler Mellott and Clint Hicks each chipped

sports@centrecountygazette.com

HOUSERVILLE — When Philipsburg’s Matt Curtis opened the Pirates’ 2015 season with a gapper to left field at Lemont on May 17, it was an early portent of things to come. Curtis scored two outs later for the first run of the game and the season, and then P-Burg added four runs in the fourth and three more in the sixth the complete its opening-day, 8-0 victory over the revamped Ducks. Actually, Curtis’ run in the first was all the Pirates needed. P-O grad and current Lock Haven pitcher Parker Watson took the mound for Philipsburg and threw a complete-game shutout in is first CCBL outing of the season. Watson allowed only four hits, walked three, and struck out 13. He had at least one strike out in every inning, struck out the side in the fifth, and allowed only seven base runners in the game. “I was just throwing strikes and trusting my defense,” Watson said. “It helps being around these guys. They loosen me up a lot, and it’s definitely good to get run support early.” Curtis’ hit to open the game was a double, and he eventually scored on Mike Marcinko’s RBI groundout with one out to make the score 1-0.

PARKER WATSON (42) delivered on the mound and at the plate in Philipsburg’s 8-0 win over Lemont on May 17. in with one. Hicks started on the mound for Lemont, threw five innings, and then was relieved by Ben Finlan and Mellott. For the Pirates, Curtis and Robert Smith each had two hits, Marcinko had the triple

and three RBIs, and Watson had a single and two RBIs. Lemont will next be in action against Howard, and Philipsburg will host Pleasant Gap.

Senior night, ‘Purple Out’ launches Wolves towards playoffs By TREY COCHRAN

While the crowd was painted with purple clothing all around, the players and coaches for St. Joseph’s wore purple armbands to show their support for the “Purple Out.” St. Joseph’s jumped to a quick 6-0 lead with a five-run second inning, as freshman Bryce Herman collected two of his three RBIs. As St. Joe’s Wolves took the lead, the fan section increased the noise. Key for St. Joseph’s was the pitching of senior, Phil Fenstermacker. “When (a pitcher) comes out on fire it

STATE COLLEGE — It was a big night at SA Homes Stadium, as the West Branch Warriors took on St. Joseph’s Catholic Academy during St. Joe’s first-ever senior night and “Purple Out” to raise awareness for epilepsy. “I thought it was a tremendous night.

Fenstermacker ended with a three-hit complete game with five strikeouts. The Wolves went on to win 7-0 as senior Alex McGraw scored in the fifth inning after collecting a base hit. “When it is a Senior Day and everyone’s emotions are high, and to have two seniors that are there to calm everyone down is a luxury, and one of them has been our starting pitcher and he has done a tremendous job all year, and today was not different,” Allen said.

half of epilepsy, after every inning a fact about epilepsy was announced over the loudspeaker. With this being St. Joseph’s final home game, the team ended the season with an 8-2 record on its home field. “When you’re playing at home with your own crowd and your own surroundings, that makes everyone comfortable, and they have just done a tremendous job all year. And, whether it’s a home game or an away game, they have done a great job,” said Allen. Despite rocking West Branch 7-0, the odds did not weigh in favor of the Wolves. Wolves, Page 23

BELLEFONTE’S VOGEL PLAYS IN 2015 NCAA GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP

Former Bellefonte golfer Kaitlyn Vogel, now a member of Washington and Jefferson College’s women’s golf team, recently competed in the Division III Golf Tournament at Mission Inn Golf and Tennis Resort in Howie-in-the-Hills, Fla. “I thought the course was tough, but rewarding, when you put the golf ball in the right place,” said Vogel. “The greens were fast and smooth, making it easy to drop putts. W and J’s women’s golf team played really well for making our first D3 national championship appearance. My teammates and I had fun hanging out one last time together and we all went out with a bang.” Washington and Jefferson finished 17th in the team race with a four-day total of 1,434, while Vogel posted a four-day total of plus-68 to finish 71st. “It was a wonderful experience,” Vogel said. “I thought if we played well we could get into the top 10. We were a few strokes short. I’m proud of all of our team. “The conditions we played in were brutal for northern teams,” added Vogel. “We were playing in 90-degree, humid temperature. For us to shoot decent scores on a very difficult course was very gratifying.”

Fees to open this loan generally range between $0 and $1,000 depending on appraisal requirements and property location. You will be required to maintain property insurance on the collateral. You may also be required to maintain flood insurance on the collateral, if necessary, because of the location.

During the 10 year draw period of the TimeLine, this loan allows the APR on all or portions of your outstanding loan balance (a “Unit”) to be locked. You may have up to a maximum of 3 Units at any one time. The maximum repayment term for a Unit is 15 years. The terms do not change until the Unit balance is paid in full. Fixed rate options are the fully indexed APR plus .50% for terms of 36 months; the fully indexed APR plus 1.00% for terms of 37-60 months; the fully indexed APR plus 1.50% for 61-96 months; the fully indexed APR plus 2.00% for 97120 months; and the fully indexed APR plus 2.50% for 121-180 months. Different margins are used to determine the fully indexed APR based on the applicant(s) credit score (s) and the loan amount when the TimeLine Home Equity Line of Credit is opened. There is a lock in fee of $50 each time you lock in a Unit. During the TimeLine Home Equity Line of Credit draw period, payments reducing the principal balance on any portion of the balance, including Units become available by increasing the credit available on your TimeLine Home Equity Line of Credit. You should consult a tax advisor for the tax deductibility of this loan. All TimeLine loans are subject to credit approval.

SIGN DEDICATION

Wolves, from page 21

A NEW SIGN was recently dedicated to honor the Mountaintop Area Little League 1995 district team, managers and the former league president. The current board had a new sign created, unveiling it during the league’s opening day on April 25.

“Also, we played a double A team and people take us for granted because we are a single A school and they rose to the occasion,” said Allen. However, St. Joseph’s has come a long way since the beginning of its inaugural season. “They have come a million miles since the beginning,” said Allen. “These guys have never played together; most of them have never played for me. It took a while for it all to jell; somewhere about mid-season we saw it start to click. And, as we have come down the stretch here, for the most part they have been right on point the whole rest of the way.” Herman collected three RBIs and a hit, while Dillon Roettger had two RBIs and Michael Forstmeier scored twice while reaching base all four at-bats.

MAY 13 WAS a special night for the St. Joseph’s Catholic Academy baseball team, and the Wolves made it count.

Bald Eagle, from page 19 and state runner-up BEA. But then BEA’s Olivia Andrews, with two outs in the sixth, hit a diving line drive into short right field. For one fleeting second, BEA’s chances of possibly tying the game looked excellent. Central right fielder Darby Boyles had to make a quick choice. She either had to sell out and try to make a diving catch on the drive in front of her, risking letting the ball roll to the fence for at least a triple with Central holding a one-run lead, or keep the ball in front of her for a single. Boyles decided to sell out on the sinker into short right, and she made a sparkling diving catch just before the ball hit the ground. “I just know every time I step on the field, I have to give it my all for the teammates,” Boyles said. “So, if it means selling out, it means selling out. All that goes through my

mind is you have to do it.” “That’s the way we used to do things,” BEA coach Curt Heverly said. “We made those plays last year.” The catch preserved the lead and was one of five defensive gems by Central in support of Lexi Ritchey’s two-hitter and the Lady Dragons’ upset of the Lady Eagles in the quarterfinals on May 18 at BEA’s youth baseball field. The win avenged two regular-season losses to BEA. “I’m tremendously disappointed. I’m beyond that, actually,” said Heverly, whose team ended up 16-4. “We had no grit, no fire. I saw (Central) had a bunch of energy. They had way more energy on defense than what we did. If we would have played like they played defensively, we would have beaten them 1-0.” “Our defense is what won for us, ultimately,” Boyles said. “They had a lot of good hits, and we stuck with them.” “It’s funny. Someone asked me, ‘How’d you look?’ warming before the game, and I said, “Terrible,’” Central coach Dale Walters said. “But, we played sharp. It was maybe the best defensive game we played all year.” BEA drew first blood in the third on Central’s only miscue. Lead-off hitter Morgan Nyman singled into center field, and when center fielder Cassidi Barnes tried to throw out Nyman at first, Nyman and first baseman Jenna Berzansky collided, allowing Nyman to get to second. Nyman moved to third on a one-out passed ball and scored on a ground ball back to Ritchey. Ritchey didn’t allow another hit until Haley Giedroc’s infield hit to begin the seventh. “Overall, they played a heck of a ball game,” Heverly said of Central. “Their pitcher was tough. She isn’t overpowering or anything.” But BEA’s lead didn’t last long as Snyder, on the second pitch of the fourth inning, hit a Sidney Shultz offering over the left-center field fence. The scorching line drive didn’t take too long to leave the field. “It felt good,” Snyder said. “Just coming off of the bat, I knew it was out. It really set the tone for our team to get ready to hit the ball and make some plays.” Central took the lead in the top of the sixth when leadoff hitter Smith got hit by a pitch, went to second on Rachel

Reed’s sacrifice bunt, reached third on a wild pitch and scored on a throwing error. Central made two straight defensive gems to start the bottom of the sixth. Snyder tracked down a Makenzie Proctor sinking looper in short left field, and catcher Tierney Fernandez picked up a dribbler by speedy lead-off hitter Dallis Dillon in front of the plate and gunned her out at first. The Lady Dragons added a run in the seventh following a play that was similar to the one Pirates right fielder Gregory Polanco made in the walk-off loss against the Cubs. Jenna Ritchey hit a looping liner into right, and BEA right fielder slipped, allowing Ritchey to get to third on a triple. “I think that was an error,” Heverly said. “She should have had that ball. Their kid would have caught it.” Boyles’ sacrifice fly to deep center scored Ritchey. The game ended with Berzansky gloving a Morgan Peters dribbler to first and tagging her out. That touched off a Central celebration in the infield. “My goal was to win 20 games a year,” second-year coach Heverly said. “I’m 39-10 in two years, and I wanted to be 40-something and 10. I promised these freshmen last year we’d win 80 games in four years. I’m going to have to work my butt off to get that now.” Needless to say, it was a tough loss for Heverly to swallow. “I think we really, really underachieved. It was far from what I expected,” he said. “We didn’t see much of the fire, determination and grit. I don’t know why that happened.”

SC Community Theatre presents winning play By HARRY ZIMBLER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — The State College Community Theatre’s 60th season continues with Christopher Durang’s awardwinning play “Vanya and Sasha and Masha and Spike.” Directing for SCCT is Philip Vonada, a graduate in directing from Villanova University. “Each character has flaws and quirks, but it’s a really funny show,” said Vonada. “This is a touching, heartfelt show. I hope local audiences see that the production gets to the heart of the show and have fun.” “Vanya and Sasha and Masha and Spike” won the Tony Award for Best Play in 2013. The story of is centered around the importance of family in all our lives. “The show’s message is that it is OK to not be perfect,” said Vonada. “It’s about a brother and sister who haven’t always gotten along. Audiences can have a laugh and leave remembering that family is the most important thing; the thing we can count on in life.” The characters are named for people in plays by Anton Chekhov. Chekhov’s plays beautifully combined pathos and hilarity. The Durang play has a similar feel, according to the State College Community Theatre’s notes on the production. “People who lead a lonely existence always have something on their minds that they are eager to talk about,” wrote Chek-

hov. And, nowhere is that more obvious than in a new spin on his works by Durang. The play centers on a pair of middleaged siblings (Vanya and Sonia) who have lived together their entire lives. Their movie-star sister (Masha) swoops in with a much younger boy toy (Spike), and throws Vanya and Sonia’s lives off-balance. It does not help that their cleaning lady (Cassandra) can tell the future, or that a beautiful young neighbor (Nina) arrives, leaving Masha feeling both vulnerable and vindictive. It’s a family reunion gone horribly wrong — and who knows what the outcome will be? In addition to his duties as director, Vonada is also the scenic designer for the production. “It’s always challenging to work in a new space,’ he said. The play will be performed in Penn State’s Downtown Theatre Center on Allen Street. The facility has no fly space, and no place to hide set pieces, props or furnishings. The set, Vonada explained, is the morning room of an old farm house, a place familiar to playwright Durang, who grew up in Bucks County. Costumes for the production were created by Jennifer Mahley, with lighting by Chelsea McGhee. Vonada is happy that the coming summer season is offering so many groups producing plays and musicals. “We are supportive of each other,” he said. “There is a growing theater community here and that’s a wonderful thing.”

Ballet version of ‘Wizard of Oz’ hits stage May 30 By ANNE WALKER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — The yellow brick road leads to Centre County for the Performing Arts School of Central Pennsylvania when their Ballet Theatre presents its original full-length ballet, “The Wizard of Oz,” Saturday, May 30, and Sunday, May 31, at the State Theatre. The production, choreographed by Linda Hildebrand, Ann Van Kuren and Rebecca Maciejczyk, retells the L. Frank Baum story using a fresh approach to the traditional and popular American fairy tale. “We tried to stay close to the original story,” said Maciejczyk, “and we’ve given it a new dimension by making it a community event.” She and her colleagues have maintained a local feel to their work by incor-

IF YOU GO What: “The Wizard of Oz” ballet When: 7 p.m., May 30; 3 p.m., May 31 Where: State Theatre, 130 W. College Ave., State College Tickets: Available online at www.the statetheatre.org

porating Centre County iconography into the storyline. “We have the likeness of Old Main in our set,” she said, “and the characters cross Spring Creek.” But the familiarity doesn’t stop there. The ballet features an iron furnace worker as the Tin Man; a set depicting the Allen Street Grill, the Corner Room and The Tavern; and the Nittany Lion alluded to in the Cowardly Lion. State College Mayor Elizabeth Goreham will even pop onto the set during the Sunday show. Maciejczyk has compiled a variety of intriguing musical works for the score. The pieces include works by Gustav Holz, Antonin Dvorak, Dmitri Shostakovich, Ottorino Respighi and, to lighten things up, P.D.Q. Bach (Peter Shickele). “I just listened to a lot of music,” she explained, “and see the scenes in my head. Sometimes I wonder what the composer was thinking, and I let the music tell me what character it should go with.” The production will also feature new, creative costuming and set designs Maciejczyk described as “amazing.” She found it exciting to create work with so many characters and possibilities for them. “We’re doing something from the ground up,” Maciejczyk stressed, “and in this particular process, involving the community, it makes it more personal.”

Penn State announces winner of Lynd Ward Prize UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State’s University Libraries and the Pennsylvania Center for the Book announced that “This One Summer,” by writer Mariko Tamaki and artist Jillian Tamaki and published by First Second, an imprint of Roaring Brook Press, has won the 2015 Lynd Ward Prize for Graphic Novel of the Year. “It’s an honor to have this book recognized, and we are thrilled to accept,” said the co-creators. “Mariko Tamaki and Jillian Tamaki are major talents, and it’s wonderful that the power of their work is resonating across the whole literary landscape,” said Mark Siegel, editorial director of First Second. “‘This One Summer,’” the jury wrote, “is a beautifully drawn, keenly observed story. It is told with a fluid line and a sensitive eye to the emblematic moments that convey

character, time and place — the surf at night, the sound of flip-flops, a guarded sigh — all at the meandering pace of a summer’s vacation. The Tamakis astutely orchestrate the formal complexities of the graphic novel in the service of an evocative, immersive story. “At first blush a coming of age story centered on two young girls, the book belongs equally to all its cast of characters, any of whom feel realized enough to have supported a narrative in their own right. Striking, relatable and poignant, this graphic novel lingers with readers long after their eyes have left the pages.” The Lynd Ward Graphic Novel Prize honors Ward’s influence in the development of the graphic novel and celebrates the gift of an extensive collection of Ward’s wood engravings, original book illustra-

tions and other graphic art donated to Penn State’s University Libraries by his daughters Robin Ward Savage and Nanda Weedon Ward. Between 1929 and 1937, Ward published his six groundbreaking wordless novels: “Gods’ Man,” “Madman’s Drum,” “Wild Pilgrimage,” “Prelude to a Million Years,” “Song Without Words” and “Vertigo.” Sponsored by Penn State’s University Libraries and administered by the Pennsylvania Center for the Book, an affiliate of the Center for the Book at the Library of Congress, the Lynd Ward Graphic Novel Prize is presented annually to the best graphic novel, fiction or nonfiction, published in the previous calendar year by a living U.S. or Canadian citizen or resident. Mariko and Jillian Tamaki will share a cash prize of $2,500, and will each receive a two-

volume set of Ward’s six novels published by The Library of America and a framed commemorative presented at a ceremony at Penn State in the fall. The jury also awarded one honor book, “Here,” by Richard McGuire and published by Pantheon Books, a division of Random House. Of “Here” the jury wrote, “Making literal the idiom ‘if these walls could talk ...,’ McGuire’s ‘Here’ curates the long history of events transpiring in one location. Through the subtle transposition of objects and individuals in a room, the book teaches us that space is defined over time. … Evoking our longing for place, the book performs this cumulative effect for the reader, by layering people, experiences and events in the context of a single environment.”

Students create products using 3-D printing By PAMELA KREWSON WERTZ Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State industrial engineering students Mike Frost and Sean Woodrow knew they wanted to improve the design of an existing product — settling on a toothpaste tube squeezer — when tasked with a class assignment to use reverse engineering or 3-D printing, or both, to design and prototype a product. “We knew we wanted to focus on a consumer product that would improve just one aspect of daily life,” said Frost, a junior from Bethel Park. The prototype Frost and Woodrow designed to save money and the sanity of millions of people around the world? An improved toothpaste tube squeezer that can be used on both regular- and travelsize tubes, allowing users to get the most out of their dental care investment. The design even includes finger rests for comfort. It may sound simple, but the technologies, processes and research behind this type of engineering are extensive and form the basis of the concepts covered in the Additive Manufacturing Processes and Reverse Engineering class. “New technologies such as additive

manufacturing, rapid tooling and reverse engineering are making it possible for companies to significantly cut design and manufacturing cycle times,” said Sanjay Joshi, the instructor of the course. “Our students are exploring these technologies while learning about the basic underlying science behind using these new approaches to design and manufacturing.” The role of 3-D printing (or additive manufacturing) in the design and manufacturing cycle of products and applications in consumer products, medicine, aerospace and other industries is increasing. The industrial engineering program at Penn State is ensuring that students receive a strong foundational understanding of the tools and technologies for additive manufacturing and reverse manufacturing systems as well as the operating principles and characteristics of this type of engineering before they join the workforce. Some of the advantages for companies that implement additive manufacturing into their processes include: greater design freedom allowing for products to be designed for function; light weighting of structural components; easier mass customization of a product; cost-effective production of small lots; and improved lo-

gistics and support. To begin their project, Frost and Woodrow used reverse engineering — the process of extracting design information from a man-made product and reproducing it — to study a toothpaste squeezer already available on the market. They found that the internal geometry of the product was too difficult to scan using the 3-D scanner in the Reverse Engineering Lab, so they had to change their approach. Their solution was to create a new computer-aided design model from scratch. Once the team had its design completed and loaded into the software, it took less than an hour to print on the 3-D printer. “We learned about the properties of different types of materials and hands-on manufacturing techniques that can translate into other areas of manufacturing,” said Woodrow, a senior from McMurray. “With this knowledge, we’ll be able to identify the best materials and processes for creating products when we move into our careers.” Christina Merritt, Brinda Shah and David Wagura to a different approach to the project, choosing to focus on creating a prototype that would assist medical professionals.

They printed a 3-D model of a human femur bone. “We wanted to create something that would be beneficial in the health care environment,” said Shah, a senior from King of Prussia. The design team used 2-D MRI scans of the head of a human femur and printed a 3-D model of the bone. “The 3-D model can be used as a training tool for medical professionals when they explain procedures to patients,” said Wagura, a senior Schreyer Scholar from Broomall. “It would be created using the patient’s MRI scans so it would detail the patient’s actual bone structure and any deformities or abnormalities that may be present rather than using a generic model of the bone that is often used in doctor’s offices.” The team said that the 3D-printed bone also has the potential to be used in implant procedures as the technology continues to evolve and improve as it functions well in the human tissue environment. The team members stated that the class has provided them with a solid foundation of knowledge that they will be able to bring to industry and manufacturing processes once they enter the workforce.
