County eyes grant money to fund projects By G. KERRY WEBSTER news@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — Centre County may soon reap the benefits of a grant program sponsored by its liability insurance provider, the Pennsylvania Counties Risk Pool. At the regular meeting of the Centre County Commissioners, the board heard from Krista Davis, risk manager and wellness coordinator. She said through the PCoRP Loss Prevention Grant Program, the county could be awarded $11,196.52 in funding for several projects, including: ■ $3,030 to replace outdoor lighting at the Willowbank Building with higher output LED lights; ■ $3,566.52 to purchase six new body armor vests for the sheriff deputies; ■ $3,957 for reimbursement for a recently purchased walk-through metal detector;

■ $243 for the purchase of “No Trespassing” signs at 10 of the 911 tower sites within the county; ■ $400 to purchase two pediatric packs for the county’s AED machines. In addition, Davis requested that the commissioners approve a contract renewal with PCoRP for the county’s property casualty insurance. The contract total is $255,625 from June 1 of this year to May 31, 2017. The commissioners placed the items on the consent agenda for approval at next week’s meeting. The Pennsylvania Counties Risk Pool was created by the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania as a result of the “hard market” in liability insurance in the mid-1980s. Many Pennsylvania counties could not obtain liability and other County, Page 5

The two firms were selected largely because of their work developing the design and overseeing construction of the State High project. They will guide demographic analysis of the updated facilities plan — which has been accelerated to take advantage of possible state funding — and focus on

UNIVERSITY PARK — Trash to Treasure, an event that started in 2002, will be having its 15th annual sale Saturday, June 4, at Beaver Stadium. Starting 14 years ago, the idea came from Penn State as a way to keep unwanted items in the residence halls out of landfills and, instead, become a one-day yard sale for the Centre County community. “It first started as a housing operations initiative in order to divert useful things from the landfills,” said David Manos, assistant director of Penn State Housing. “But then it also became a sustainability initiative, and it’s also a way to give back to the community.” As the largest recycling event in the State College area, Trash to Treasure provides a way for community members to purchase various items at a discounted price. All proceeds go to Centre County United Way, a volunteer-driven organization, and its partner organizations. The event will start at 9 a.m. and will continue until 1 p.m., but for folks who would like to arrive earlier, there will be a pre-sale from 7:30 to 9 a.m. with a $5 entrance fee, said Beth Shaha, Centre County United Way special events coordinator. The usual items donated are primarily clothing and some sporting equipment such as bikes, but one can also find technological equipment or other toys, Manos said. “You can basically find anything you imagine.” At the sale, people will be given shopping bags to fill items they wish to purchase and each bag filled is $20, Shaha said. “(Trash to Treasure) is so important because it keeps items from going into the landfill, helps give folks things at a cheap price and the

proceeds benefit Centre County United Way,” Shaha said. With help from Penn State’s Office of Physical Plant and both student and Centre County United Way volunteers, the whole sale averages about 68 tons of donated items, helps Penn State save around $14,000 in labor and equipment costs, and brings in more than 500 volunteers and a couple thousand shoppers on the day of the event, according to the Trash to Treasure website. “Trash to Treasure works on so many levels,” Manos said. “It starts first with the students having the opportunity to give back to the community, then Centre County United Way receives all the proceeds, the people in the community get items at a good price and there is a sustainability component as well so everyone benefits and everyone wins.” Trash, Page 4

Centre County pays tribute to fallen officers By G. KERRY WEBSTER news@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Every 61 minutes, an American law enforcement official dies in the line of duty. In 2015, the United States saw 132 men and women die while serving the constituents around them. On May 18, as part of National Police Week, members of the Centre County law enforcement community gathered on the steps of Old Main to pay tribute to each of these officers. Following the advancement of the colors by the State College Police Department Ceremonial Honor Guard, Michael Lowery, chief of the Penn State University Police Department, welcomed the crowd to the ceremony and briefly described the law enforcement officers’ code of ethics before handing the microphone over to keynote speaker Judge Katie Oliver, of the Centre County Court of Common Pleas. “I am honored to be part of such a meaningful ceremony,” said Oliver. “It’s important we pay tribute to our many fallen heroes. It is because of their sacrifices that we can enjoy the many simple freedoms we have today.” Oliver spent several minutes describing the events that led to the deaths of several of the American law enforcement officials killed in the line of duty last year. “These people are the real superheroes,” she said. “Their nobility, strength and courage is second to none. They deserve to be remembered for the ultimate sacrifice they gave us.” Following Oliver’s address, Centre County commissioners Steven Dershem and Mark Higgins read the Centre County proclamation, officially dedicating May 15 to 21 as National Police Week.

A roll call was then taken as the names of the 132 men and women killed in the line of duty was read aloud. Other events of the afternoon included the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 51 wreath presentation by Officer Donald Reed, of the Penn State Police Department, and Detective Dale Moore, of the State College Police Department; a performance of “Amazing Grace” on bagpipes by Charles Tricou; and a 21-gun salute by the Centre County Law Enforcement Rifle Team. Taps was played in echo by Officer David M. White and Officer Nick A. Raia, both of the State College Police Department, to conclude the event.

*The TimeLine Home Equity Line of Credit is a variable rate line of credit with a fixed rate option. This loan has an introductory APR and payment for the first year then adjusts based on the highest prime rate listed in the Money section of the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) plus a margin determined at the time you apply for the loan. To open the advertised product and receive the advertised introductory 1.89% APR (annual percentage rate) requires a line of credit of at least $10,000 and a maximum of $250,000. After the first year, your variable rate can change daily. For example, the current variable rate would be 4.00% APR for a loan amount between $10,000-$49,999.99 and a credit score between 720-779. The maximum APR is 16%. This loan has a maximum term of ten years during which you can draw and repay the available credit limit. Any balance remaining at the end of that time that has not been paid must be repaid over a 15 year term. 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 theTimeLine, 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 97-120 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. 16JS009-24-131572-1

Local race car driver leases Clinton speedway By G. KERRY WEBSTER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

MILL HALL â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sam Ray has racing in his blood. Each weekend, he fires up one of his two super late model race cars and competes at area tracks. His dad raced before he did, as did his grandfather before that. But, age is catching up to the Milesburg businessman. He said he knows there will come a day when he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to race again; however, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making strides to keep local racing alive and fan-friendly again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to do it for that much longer, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to totally get away from it either,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I figured Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d better do something.â&#x20AC;? He decided to lease the Clinton County Speedway and hold Friday night racing events there, thus saving a tradition for motorheads in Clinton and surrounding counties. The previous promoters decided not to pursue a followup contract for the 2016 racing season and the Clinton County Fair Board was planning on closing the track. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see the track just sit there and not be used,â&#x20AC;? said Ray, who has owned and operated S&R Repairs, Towing and Recovery Inc., of Milesburg, for the past 30 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see all the

local racers have to travel all over the state to compete. Especially because many of them are used to racing right here in their own backyard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew I could make a go of it. Mother Nature hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cooperated with us for the early part of the season, but, the weather will eventually get better and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have some good Friday night racing again.â&#x20AC;? According to Ray, the track and amenities were left in deplorable condition. He said he has sunk about $60,000 of his own money into making improvements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy, but there was a lot that needed done. Much more than I expected,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I reconfigured the entire track and made the banks higher. That really makes for fan-friendly racing. I also made the track wider, installed a new lighting system and reworked the pit areas and the winnersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; circle.â&#x20AC;? But, he said, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still plenty to do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did some work in the pits, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still an awful lot to do down there. We also have to work on promoting our events to let people know that live racing is available in Clinton County. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve dropped the admission price and the price to get in the pits to try and attract more visitors.â&#x20AC;? Primarily, he wants to focus on bringing in a younger crowd. Currently, there are seven classes of rac-

Residents can attend any or all of the meetings. A list of questions and answers about the plan and a place to submit questions will be added to the district’s website. Business administrator Randy Brown said the district will know Monday, June 13, if it will receive a Department of Community and Economic Development grant for up to $2 million each for two elementary school projects. Houserville and Radio Park were identified in the application as potential projects because they would cost the most to update and would receive the greatest benefit from the grants, though the district is not bound to those specific projects if other needs are identified.

After data collection and a detailed formal request for proposal process, CCAP formed PCoRP in April 1987. Based on the All Lines Aggregate insurance concept, the program is a combination of self insurance, commercial insurance and loss control. With more than 25 years in operation, 53 counties and countyrelated entities presently participate in PCoRP.

They included an increased elevator door fire rating that was not previously correctly identified, extending and finishing walls in the new South Building information technology room due to unforeseen conditions that required correction, and a maximum credit of $6,500 resulting from the reconfiguration of stormwater piping caused by field conditions. Ryan Cole, of MCMS, told the board construction is on schedule. He said that, currently, concrete foundations are being poured for four classroom pods and underground plumbing and electrical conduits are being installed. Concrete floors are also being poured with vapor barriers to prevent ground moisture from seeping through. Work this summer includes installing under¬-slab plumbing and electric, pouring the ground floor slab for pod B, building concrete masonry unit walls for pods A and B, continuing foundation work for pods C and D, preparing for demolition, and beginning utility work behind the South Building.

JAMES AND CHRISTINA WOODRING were indicted following an explosion last week at their Centre Hall home.

Centre Hall couple indicted by feds on explosives charges By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — The husband and wife whose Centre Hall home was the site of explosion were both indicted by a grand jury on May 24 on federal charges for explosives and firearms offenses. According to the Department of Justice, James Woodring, 50, and his wife, Christina Woodring, 34, conspired to manufacture and deal in explosives from May 1 through May 18. Their home on South Pennsylvania Avenue exploded on May 18. Officials also said the post-blast investigation revealed the cause of the explosion was due to the detonation of fireworks. According to a press release from the

Department of Justice, the Woodrings “conspired to purchase and transport commercial grade fireworks, to increase the fireworks’ power and volatility and sell them, all without a license to do so.” James Woodring was arrested and charged on May 20 on similar offenses, including manufacturing and dealing explosives without a license, transporting explosive materials and illegally possessing a stolen firearm. The Department of Justice alleges that James Woodring possessed a stolen semiautomatic pistol, a shotgun, a pump rifle and a rifle. According to the press release, since Woodring is a previously convicted felon, he is prohibited from possessing them. The government is seeking forfeiture of the firearms.

Numerous summer construction projects set for campus By GEOFF RUSHTON StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — As sure a sign of summer in the Centre Region as Spikes baseball or the opening of Welch Community Pool, construction season has begun on Penn State’s University Park campus. The university’s Office of Physical Plant has developed an interactive map to track the numerous construction and renovation projects going on this summer. Some of the projects will impact vehicle and pedestrian traffic and building access. Projects already under way on McKean Road that will impact traffic. The one-way portion of McKean Road between Mifflin and Bigler Roads will be closed through early June for utility work. McKean Road between Bigler Road and the Greenberg Building will be closed through July for stormwater system improvements. There is a temporary entrance to Lot Orange C from Hastings Road. Access to East Area Locker Room, Holuba Hall and the Orange F parking lot will be via the access drive north of Nittany Apartments. The intersection of Bigler, Hastings and McKean roads will remain open throughout the summer.

STATE COLLEGE — Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane’s office on May 23 announced the arrest of a State College man charged with distributing crystal methamphetamine. Joseph Mishock, 33, was arrested after a three-month investigation conducted by the attorney general’s Centre County Drug Task Force. Mishock, of Logan Avenue, is charged with four counts of delivery or possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, three counts of possession of a controlled substance, two counts of criminal use of a communication facility and one count each of possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a small amount JOSEPH MISHOCK of marijuana and possession of a prohibitive offensive weapon. Mishock is being held in the Centre County Prison in lieu of $500,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, June 1, at the Centre County Courthouse. Investigators said a search of Mishock’s apartment May 21 led to the seizure of approximately half a gram of methamphetamine, various drug paraphernalia, a small amount of marijuana, $317 in cash and an electronic weapon similar to a Taser.

UNIVERSITY PARK — With Penn State expecting a freshman class enrollment at University Park of about 8,600 students — 1,000 more than 2015’s first year class — the university says it is exploring a number of options to reduce the strain on campus services. “We are looking at ways to minimize the impact of a larger-than-expected class size at University Park because we understand the balance that the university needs to maintain within our community and also the capacity challenges that come with a larger incoming class,” said Rob Pangborn, vice president and dean for undergraduate education, in a news release. “This was not part of a calculated growth plan, but an offshoot of a number of complex factors that came together in a positive way.” Among those options is offering a special “1+3” deal to incoming freshman. Students accepted to University Park are being offered the opportunity to spend their first year at one of Penn State’s other campuses in exchange for financial aid and lowered tuition costs. They would also be offered a housing grant if they choose one of the Commonwealth Campuses with available campus housing (Beaver, Greater Allegheny, Hazleton and Mont Alto) for their first year. An email sent to one incoming student from out-ofstate and obtained by Onward State offered a combination of tuition reduction and scholarships amounting to $15,000 and a housing grant of $5,000. The email indicated students will have until Wednesday, June 1, to accept the offer.

A Penn State spokesperson confirmed Pennsylvania residents who accept the 1+3 scholarship will see a reduction in first-year costs of $10,000 and out-of-state residents would receive a $15,000 reduction. Those opting to live on campus at Beaver, Greater Allegheny, Hazleton or Mont Alto as part of the 1+3 program will receive a housing grant of $5,000 for their first year. The university is exploring several initiatives to accommodate housing at University Park as well. In addition to supplemental housing, Penn State is looking at allowing returning students to opt out of campus housing contracts without forfeiting their deposits and “gauging the interest of local students to commute from their family homes,” according to the news release. “Leading up to the May 1 admissions deadline, Penn State saw a surge in paid acceptances,” Pangborn said. “While there is always some flux in class sizes year to year, Penn State’s popularity has grown. This year a higher than normal percentage of students who were offered admission chose to accept — a clear sign of the value that students and their parents attach to a Penn State degree.” But popularity may not have been the only factor that led to a near-record freshman class. The university’s new student information system, which was unveiled earlier this year and has been the subject of criticism, may have played a role as well. “Unanticipated ripples in getting the complex system to scale and mesh with major areas impacting student life at Penn State may have inadvertently created an increase in the rounds of admissions being offered,” the university news release said. “This is the first full admissions cycle under the new system.”

STATE COLLEGE — The funeral service has been announced for a Penn State student who was electrocuted and fell from a roof in State College on May 20.

While at Penn State, where she was studying biobehavioral health, Mathers volunteered as an emergency medical technician with Centre LifeLink EMS and worked at Mount Nittany Medical Center and Bradley’s Steaks and Hoagies. “Shannon’s death was nothing short of a tragedy, that leaves me in a state of disbelief,” Bradley’s general manager Ben Lippincott said in a post on the restaurant’s Facebook page.

Students learn hard realities of financial literacy By HARRY ZIMBLER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — The financial realities that will confront high school and college graduates were the focus of a workshop held at State College High School on May 23. Called the Reality Fair, about 70 students — juniors and seniors — participated in a series of financial exercises that demonstrated how challenging it will be when they move into their professional careers. According to Terry Shoemaker, CEO of State College Federal Credit Union, many students never get the kind of information the Realty Fair provides. “Credit unions want to help develop financial literacy in the lives of every student,” he said. The Pennsylvania Credit Union Association developed a program that forces kids to manage a starting salary and account for housing, taxes, health insurance, retirement and more.

It’s a simulation that has students moving from booth to booth to make important decisions about their finances. “We try to keep it entertaining,” Shoemaker stated. This year was the second for the Realty Fair. The credit union mantra is “People helping people,” and the fair is one way that local credit unions have chosen to reach out to the community. In addition to the volunteers from the State College Federal Credit Union, help came from three other credit unions in the area including SPE Credit Union, Penn State Federal Credit Union and Titam Credit Union in Bellefonte. “I was very impressed by how seriously the volunteers treated the roles they played,” Shoemaker said. “They forced the kids to make tough choices and learn from them.” At the end of the fair, the students were asked to meet with a financial advisor or counselor to see whether their choices were wise or foolish. They also received advice and guidance for making decisions

in the future. “The students gain a tremendous appreciation for what their parents are going through,” Shoemaker said. “They often walk away saying ‘Wow, I had no idea.’ It’s a real wake up call.” Lacking experiences and literacy in dealing with finances eludes more than young students, Shoemaker noted. “I have found, over the years, that many adults have clue about finances. Even doctors

and teachers need help,” he said. Financial reality fairs are a practical exercise in personal financial management, and help prepare students for living on their own as adults. “We feel strongly that credit unions have a responsibility to provide financial education, especially to those not yet in the working world,” Shoemaker explained. Shoemaker served as the event coordinator.

Ex-teacher sentenced in porn case By GEOFF RUSHTON StateCollege.com

BELLEFONTE — A former State College Area High School teacher was sentenced by Centre County Judge Jonathan Grine to two to four years in state prison for charges related to soliciting nude photographs from minors. Wesley P. Amy, 28, was convicted in October on counts of attempted child sexual abuse, unlawful contact with a minor and dissemination of obscene and other sexual materials to a minor, and three counts of corruption of minors. Amy worked at the school as a computer technology teacher from October 2013 through May 2014, during which time

he targeted three female students, first by becoming friends with them on Facebook and having private conversations. Prosecutors said he sent pornography to one student and began soliciting the victims for nude photographs in exchange for better grades. One of the victims, who prosecutors say was given a flash drive by Amy and told to put nude photos on it in return for a 100 percent on a final project, told a friend about her experience with Amy. The friend told his mother, who then notified the school district, which reported it to State College Police. At the time of Amy’s arrest, State College Police Chief Tom King credited the district for acting quickly when it learned of the report.

STATE COLLEGE — State College Area High School seniors will produce and direct an evening of scenes, songs and production numbers at the State High Thespians’ 20th annual Cabaret on Saturday, May 28. The senior students will celebrate the end of the school year with a collection of comedic scenes and musical theater selections.

formance tickets at local venues, gift cards to local restaurants, photography sittings, themed baskets and more. Doors open at the State High North Building Auditorium at 6 p.m., with the show starting at 7 p.m. General admission tickets are $10 at the door. It’s been another strong year for the thespians.

Keep your hands off the bison By the Los Angeles Times Those shaggy-haired, shoulder-humped bison roaming Yellowstone National Park have lived in the area since prehistoric times, surviving migration, predators, disease, development. But can they survive tourists? Despite signs in the park and fliers handed out to visitors warning them about being gored by the horned bison, tourists just can’t seem to stay the officially required 25 yards away. They get out of cars and snap selfies with bison, scurrying back only when the animal takes off after them. (In the good-to-know category, bison are significantly faster sprinters than humans.) Last year, five people were seriously injured by bison at Yellowstone. Recently, an interaction cost a bison its life. When tourists spotted a newborn bison calf seemingly shivering from cold, they plucked it from the roadside like a helpless hitchhiker, put it in the back of their SUV and took it to a ranger facility “because of their misplaced concern for the animal’s welfare,” said a Park Service official. Human interference can cause a mother to reject a calf, and in this case, park rangers were unsuccessful in getting the bison herd to take the calf back in. Ultimately, it had to be euthanized. Those people were trying to help. Others like the thrill of recklessness — how close can you get to a dangerous animal and live to upload the selfie? For many of us, it’s that we’re urban creatures starved for interaction with animals more exotic than our cats and dogs. But wild creatures need to be left alone — if not for our survival then certainly for theirs.

People in the public eye who are vehement anti-gun activists at the same time that their bodyguards or security staff use guns as part of the protection duty. Maybe the I-don’t-mean-me crowd thinks we won’t notice. Cause hypocrisy is not limited to those on one side of the political spectrum. The number of people who avow conservative religious values — loving thy neighbor, applying the golden rule — who then judge and do harm to others in the name of religion are too numerous to list. From televangelists to self-avowed Christians who raise the bar on hate related to issues in the news, the causes or missions of these hypocrites are significantly damaged by decisions that are contradictory. It’s the people who are the most vocal and whose fists are raised the highest who seem to be the most at risk for contradicting themselves. In truth, most people who oppose gun control don’t buy guns. There are many people who believe in giving to others who don’t have as much. Many are willing to live at a lower standard so they can lend a hand. Many people who, in their strong faith, don’t judge or practice hate. Every day, I see my colleagues and students and alumni in outdoor-focused careers that talk the talk and walk the walk in supporting the environment in their longterm and day-to-day-life decisions. Electric cars. Homes built to green standards. Practicing zero waste. They believe it so they live it. It’s not that hard to live up to our words. Celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio and others can and should do the same. The causes that we support are impacted by the credibility of our words and our actions.

Impeaching IRS chief won’t solve anything By Bloomberg editors Pity John Koskinen, who agreed to take one of the worst jobs in America and is now being punished for it. In 2013, President Barack Obama asked Koskinen to take over at the Internal Revenue Service amid budgetary chaos, deteriorating morale and a simmering scandal. House Republicans, still angry about that scandal — and about the concept of taxation generally — are now trying to impeach him. Their case is weak, and the ultimate loser in this sorry spectacle won’t be Koskinen. Start with the scandal. An inspector general report in 2013 found that IRS employees had been improperly scrutinizing conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. This was wrong, and blame was duly apportioned. The agency’s boss resigned,

a top deputy retired, and the director of the offending unit was placed on leave and declared in contempt of Congress. Half a dozen congressional committees vowed to fumigate every pixel of offending detail. One managed to produce an 8,000-page report. The Justice Department investigated (and found no evidence of criminality). But you have to get up pretty early in the morning to outfox the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah, the committee’s chairman, has made a professional specialty of berating civil servants. He appears to view Koskinen — who, recall, joined the agency after this scandal — as obstructing further investigation. The specific allegations Chaffetz has adduced hardly add up to high crimes and misdemeanors. At worst, they portray mild bureaucratic inept-

itude. And removing Koskinen from office stands no chance in legislative reality. Nothing’s shaking on Shakedown Street, as they used to say. Actually impeaching Koskinen — a punishment not invoked against an executive-branch appointee since Ulysses S. Grant occupied the White House — probably isn’t the objective anyway. The point is to embarrass the IRS. And congressional Republicans have already done a fine job of that by slashing the agency’s budget while helping to vastly expand its responsibilities, with predictably frustrating results. Taxpayers, in other words, are the ones who ultimately suffer when Congress ignores more pressing business in favor of needlessly antagonizing the IRS. They’re also the ones footing the bill for 8,000-page reports and shambolic impeachment proceedings.

Teens more likely to be victims of distracted driving driving. You can also set up an app on your phone that will automatically respond to incoming calls and texts with a message that you are driving and will get back to the person shortly. In addition to all the gadgets and electronics, she said drivers can also be distracted by what their passengers are doing or talking about. Even a driver’s own thoughts and feelings can be a distraction. “When you are angry or upset, you’re more at risk to be an aggressive driver or be in a crash,” she said. “You want to just get in that car and drive away, but you need to take a minute to get your emotions under control because otherwise you’re not going to make good decisions.” She also suggests pulling over to re-program GPS devices, search for music or deal with passenger issues. “We talk a lot about how hard it is to always make good decisions,” Shirk said. “But one bad decision can cause a crash, and you will wish you had it back.” Dr. Scott Armen, chief of the Division of Trauma, Acute Care and Critical Care Surgery and medical director for the adult trauma program at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, sees the consequences of those bad decisions on a regular basis.

HERSHEY — More than 3,100 people were killed in 2014 as a result of distracted driving, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration. Although distractions come in many forms, texting is the most dangerous because it takes eyes, hands and minds away from the task at hand. “People sending or receiving a text have four seconds or more that their eyes are off the road,” said Beverly Shirk, pediatric trauma coordinator at Penn State Children’s Hospital. “If you’re traveling 55 miles per hour, that’s the length of a football field. Your reaction time might not allow for you to stop.” Despite awareness campaigns in recent years, Shirk said the temptations are more present than ever. Each year, she coordinates four teen driver education programs for youth ages 16 to 20 that focus on how to make good choices behind the wheel. In addition to talking or texting, the teens tell her that operating music controls on the car or electronic device are among their top distractions, as well as using GPS systems and eating. Shirk recommends switching the phone to silent and stashing it in the glove box where it is out of sight and reach while

TEXTING, which takes eyes, hands and minds away from driving, is one of the biggest dangers on the highways. “The worst are fatal crashes,” he said. “It can be incredibly devastating.” Although drivers of all ages can fall prey to distractions, younger drivers are more likely to be involved in crashes resulting from distracted driving because of their sense of invincibility and their lack of experience behind the wheel, he said. “It can be hard for them to understand the consequences until they have been in-

Light waves are selected for a client’s specific condition or concern, and those light waves target melanin in the skin. The light pulls the pigmentation up through the layers of the skin until it reaches the surface layer (stratum corneum) and crusts/flakes off. The light waves can also target hemoglobin in broken blood vessels to help lessen the appearance of rosacea and broken capillaries as well as targeting the pigment in hair and destroying the follicle, allowing for hair removal. IPL uses multiple lengths of light rays at varying intensity, allowing it to treat

more than just one type of skin condition at once. With IPL, clients typically feel minimal discomfort during the procedure, and depending on the type of condition being treated, the procedure may only take a few minutes. After only a few treatments, some clients are able to see noticeable results. Depending on the type of condition that you want to treat, a provider will be able to recommend if IPL service or another type of treatment is best for you. It’s important to note that these conditions are unique to the individual, so a treatment that works for one person might not work best for someone else. If interested in IPL, the first step is to schedule a consultation. In our office, patients are initially scheduled for a consultation and skin examination to determine if their concerns can be best addressed with IPL or a different treatment. At that time, we will be able to give an estimate as to how many treatments will be needed to achieve the desired results. We will address any questions or concerns you may have before beginning treatment. And, we will discuss pre-treatment and post-treatment instructions to optimize the likelihood of a successful treatment.

Transition underway at University Technology Center HERSHEY — A new data center providing centralized, secure space for patient, research and educational data from Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and Penn State College of Medicine is now online. Officials recently gathered to dedicate the 46,000-square-foot University Technology Center, which supports both the growing health system and the region’s medical school. Twenty-nine employees work at the new facility, which is staffed around the clock. The process of moving data from the previous data center began in April and is expected to finish by early 2017. “Although we’re standing in front of a new data center and not a new clinic or hospital unit, today marks an important milestone in patient care,” said Dr. Andrew Resnick, the medical center’s chief quality officer. “Good data used properly can and will inform and improve the care we give.”

In addition to secure storage, the University Technology Center houses powerful computers and data storage devices for analyzing information. This includes the bio-repository of patient samples from the Penn State Institute for Personalized Medicine. The institute uses highly specialized tools for genetic testing and analysis of these samples, and to prepare them for genomic sequencing. “The new data center will enhance our efforts by making personalized medicine more of a reality for patients and their providers,” said Jim Broach, director of the Penn State Institute for Personalized Medicine and chair of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. “Data that may take days, weeks or even months to analyze now may soon be processed in a matter of minutes or hours.” “State-of-the-art, high performance computing and big data storage are essential at any research-intensive university, and I’m proud that Penn State is moving

aggressively to ensure that the future is even more robust than the past,” said Penn State President Eric Barron. As the back-up location for Penn State’s primary data center, the University Technology Center will serve an integral role in the university’s disaster recovery plan. Likewise, the University Park data facility will serve as a backup for Hershey’s data center. The fiber optic network connection between Hershey and University Park will have a bandwidth of 100 gigabits per second — approximately 5,000 times the average home Internet connection. The University Technology Center uses one megawatt of power — roughly the equivalent of 92 average U.S. households. The facility has 768 batteries that provide an extra layer of back-up beyond the building’s two main power feeds. Its power usage is offset by various energysaving components designed to eliminate waste and improve efficiency. A cooling system is expected to operate free of conventional air conditioning for 86 percent of the year, despite the heat generated by the more than 1,000 servers that

will be housed in the center. Measures also have been incorporated into the center’s design that are expected to result in the use of at least 60 percent less power for critical systems than typical data centers.

IN THE Centre Region, bystanders initiate CPR at a much higher rate than the national average.

Cardiac arrest survival on the rise STATE COLLEGE — The Centre Region’s cardiac arrest survival rate continues to climb, according to Centre LifeLink’s annual Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival report. A total of 23 percent of cardiac arrest victims are walking out of the hospital in good or moderate health, compared to a national average of 8.5 percent. Since the implementation of automatic chest compression systems, additional training among Centre LifeLink staff and community members, the Centre Region’s overall survival rate has climbed from 11

percent in 2011. “Starting CPR right away is the key to survival,” said Centre LifeLink EMS chief Kent Knable. In this region, bystanders initiate CPR 54 percent of the time, while the national average is just 40 percent. “We urge everyone in the community to get trained in CPR,” said Centre LifeLink’s training manager, Eliza Shaw. “You never know when you may have to use it.” A variety of CPR classes are offered monthly at Centre LifeLink EMS. For more information, visit www. centrelifelink.com.

When you’re not feeling well, conventional wisdom says you should reach for over-the-counter or prescription remedies. But many experts point out that foods have healing properties that can be complementary in helping to treat common ailments and prevent illness. “The concept of using food as medicine isn’t a new one; however, the evolution of society and science has moved us further from this concept,” said Nan Lu, a teacher and practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine and author of the new book “Digesting the Universe: A Revolutionary Framework for Healthy Metabolism Function.” “In my view, we are missing some of the most powerful and supportive steps we can take to remain well and prevent disease and illness.” Lu said the teachings of traditional Chinese medicine can help patients deal with the root cause of their problems, rather than just eliminate the symptoms. He offered a few quick insights into the subject of food as medicine. ■ Nutritionists today base their work on the physical and chemical properties of food alone, but this is just half the picture. “There are many immaterial things contained within food as well,” said Lu, who cites Qi, or vital energy, as a key aspect of food you can’t see. ■ The “right” foods won’t necessarily protect your health by virtue of their properties alone. Good organ function is also necessary for your body to process and digest what you eat. However, foods can help restore balance to an ailing organ system. ■ Listen to your body, not cultural beliefs about what is good or bad for you. Lu

offered the example of a woman craving sugar or salt during her menstrual cycle. “Assuming she listens to the wisdom of her body and satisfies her craving, she’ll have some chocolate or eat some potato chips. This woman is doing something natural.” ■ You may have heard of the adage “you are what you eat.” Lu said to also consider the phrase “you are what you think,” and avoid a steady diet of negative emotions, which you then must digest and process. Your thoughts impact your body and health, he said. ■ The next time your stomach is upset, consider reaching for something natural. Ginger can be eaten or used topically to deal with stomach discomfort, reduce inflammation and even lower pain from arthritis.

Boalsburg Cub Scouts hold Space Derby By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

BOALSBURG — Rockets were flying in Boalsburg on May 19, but NASA was not involved. Instead, it was 20 members of Boalsburg Cub Scout Pack 380 competing in a Space Derby in the Boalsburg Lions Club building. In a Space Derby, the Cubs race small balsa wood rockets powered by propellers and rubber bands. The rockets are suspended on two parallel lines of 50-pound test monofilament fishing line tightly strung between supports located about 30 feet apart. When released, the rockets scoot down the wire, and the winner is the one that travels the farthest. Cubmaster Marvin Sanders paired up the boys for two-man heats, keeping track of wins and losses in the double-elimination contest. Cub leaders and adult volunteers were kept busy all evening winding the rubber motors with 100 turns each to guarantee that each one had the same amount of power. The rockets come in kit form, and consist of two hollowed-out blocks of soft balsa wood, which the Scouts glue together to form the rocket’s body. The square block is then sanded down to whatever shape the Cub wants, typically a circular shape with a tapered nose to resemble a real rocket.

A propeller connected to rubber bands is inserted in the nose, with a small piece of dowel rod at the rear to anchor the rubber. Plastic fins and a hanger fitting are glued on the body. The boys can paint and decorate the rockets however they want. Much creativity was seen in the rockets’ paint schemes. One was painted orange with black stripes, resembling a tiger tail, and another was gray with teeth painted on the front to look like a shark. Several used multicolored finishes, and some used a sinister-looking black scheme. As the evening progressed, one by one, contestants were eliminated and tension built in the room. The contest finally boiled down to two boys — Brady Sanders and Ben Ricker. Since neither boy had lost any prior heats, they had to run against each other twice to determine a winner. In the first heat, Sanders’ shark rocket easily beat Ricker, but in the second run, Sanders’ rocket stalled out early and Ricker’s redand-gold machine shot past for the firstplace win, eliciting cheers and applause from the audience of about 60 people. Sanders was awarded second place, and Zalan Miko took third. The boys received gold, silver and bronze medals for prizes. Sanders said the pack had tried to organize a Space Derby a few years ago, but this was the first time they succeeded. He expects the derby to become an annual event.

Centre PACT students issue more than $5,000 in grants STATE COLLEGE — Four local nonprofits received a combined total of just more than $5,000 in grant money from a group of high school students in Centre Foundation’s new program, Centre PACT, or Philanthropic Actions Created by Teens. “Since September, these amazing students have rolled up their sleeves and learned about philanthropy in a very hands-on way, learning everything from granting to fundraising,” said Molly Kunkel, executive director at Centre Foundation. “They have made such an impact, and in the areas that really speak to them. It’s been so inspiring to watch these young philanthropists grow during the course of this program.” After creating their own grant application process and putting out a request for proposal, the students reviewed the applications. Finalist organizations received a site visit from a cohort of the students so that they could view the program

up close, see the impact and ask the staff questions. “The grant application process and site visits allowed the students to learn more about the nuts and bolts of granting, as well as provided them with a window into how nonprofits operate,” said Kunkel. The students began the year with a $1,000 granting pool provided by Centre Foundation, but quickly realized their appetite for impact was much larger. They began a prospecting campaign that ultimately raised $4,025 from 18 community supporters. “The students’ dedication to expanding their impact was commendable, allowing them to make grants to all four of their finalist organizations,” said Kunkel. Students, parents, community supporters and nonprofit representatives were on hand for a check presentation party, which also marked the end of the program’s successful pilot year.

Jaia Clingham-David gave an overview of the Centre PACT program year. Then, Zoe Small presented the first check for $687.50 to Centre County Library and Historical Museum’s Lisa Erickson for a collection of LGBTQ books and college preparatory materials. Joey and Nick Feffer presented $1,187.50 to Theresa Mast, of Centre County’s YMCA, for the Moshannon Valley’s “Aspire Program,” an alternative physical education credit course for students who are bullied or cannot otherwise complete gym class and do not want to receive a failing grade.

Penns Valley Spotlight Cub Scouts replace flags on veterans’ graves By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — Five Cub Scouts from Cub Scout Pack 20 in Centre Hall gathered at the Lutheran and Reformed Cemetery on West Church Street in Centre Hall on May 18 to replaced aging and worn American flags on the graves of U.S. armed services veterans buried in the cemetery. The Scouts were by Nate Summers, chaplain of American Legion Post No. 779 in Old Fort, who supplied a list of the deceased veterans and the 205 new American flags. The Legion placed small stickers on each veteran’s gravestone, which helps the Cub Scouts determine where to put flags. Old flags were collected by the Cubs, and will be properly destroyed by the American Legion. Summers said the American Legion places flags on veterans’ graves all around Penns Valley, and he praised the Cub Scout leaders for involving the boys in this project. “This a good thing for the boys,” he said. “They learn a lot about the sacrifice of veterans and about community service.” The Centre Hall cemetery contains one veteran from the War of 1812, 50 from the Civil War, three from the SpanishAmerican War, 26 from World War I, 80 from World War II, 19 from the Korean War, and seven from the Vietnam War.

Region Down Syndrome Society. In addition, she serves as an ambassador for the National Down Syndrome Society, advocating for awareness and change to Congress. Ross lives in Centre County with her husband, Stephen, daughter, Isabel, and dog, Fin. The honorary grand marshal is typically a local figure who can attend major homecoming events throughout the year, specifically court reception, an ice cream social, the parade and halftime during the homecoming football game. An executive committee member suggested Ross as a candidate because of her work with the Down Syndrome Society. She was ultimately chosen because of her passion and dedication to the community and to the lives she’s touched. Alumni relations director Shannon McConnell said Ross embodies homecoming because her dedication and pride toward everything she does mirrors the pride and dedication each student has toward the university. “Speaking on behalf of myself and the entire Homecoming Executive Committee, she is an incredible woman,” McConnell said. “We are all so excited to spend the year with her as our honorary grand marshal.”

Hope Bodenschatz presented $1,637.50 to the Penns Valley Youth Center’s Darren Narber. The funds will help PVYC continue to provide a fun, safe and welcoming place for teenagers to come after school, receive homework help, provide physical activity and healthy snacks and build relationships with peers and adults. High school students from across Centre County are encouraged to apply to join the Centre PACT program, which aims to give participants a hands-on, student-led look at philanthropy, as well as learn about themselves, each other and Centre County.

The Avid Gardener: The allure of container gardening LORA GAUSS

How do I love container gardening? Let me count the ways. Any container adds a burst of color to blah places such as decks, front stoops, back kitchen entryways, in between garage doors and in front of unsightly garden sheds. They are more portable than plants put into the ground, so they can jazz up a sad Avid gardener looking flower bed Lora Gauss lives in whose shrubs and pePhilipsburg. Email rennial flowers may be her at community@ spent. It’s easy to pop centrecountygazette. some cheery containcom. ers into empty spaces or hang them on fences. Containers can be a solution in areas of a yard that are challenging. For example, I have a large black walnut tree in my yard. Planting anything under it creates a headache because it gives off a substance called juglone, creating a virtual dead zone as far away as the drip line. Juglone is toxic and growth-stunting to many plants. I have managed to mostly alleviate the problem by using basket containers mounted on poles about 5 feet above the ground while trying to coax a ground cover of sedum. This area is now interesting and colorful rather than dull and bare. However, the best reason of all for growing container plants is that they can supply a variety of plants to a wide range of places, both ornamental and edible, without dealing with garden soil issues like digging up pesky rocks, poor drainage or other bedding problems. What’s needed to get started are containers, plants and soil. These three synchronize to create a gardener’s own personalized idea of perfection. First, the container. The choices here are almost unlimited. In gardening magazines, I’ve seen everything and anything used as plant containers – wash tubs,

boots, watering cans. I even saw a vintage oak dresser! No matter what the container, each is composed either of concrete, terracotta, wood, cast-iron, sheet metal, a lined basket, glazed pottery or a lookalike (these may look like one of the other kinds, but are actually made from things like resin or plastic). They can range greatly in price, some expensive, unless they’re bought at flea markets or yard sales. I’ve used most of the materials and found that my over-all favorite is resin. Resin containers are less expensive, lighter weight and hold up over many Centre County winters, even if left outside. I have a large metal urn that is weighty, rusty and heats up in full sun, requiring a bubble wrap liner to keep plants from frying; a resin product has none of those drawbacks. I always look for a container that has a drain hole in the bottom. If it doesn’t, no matter how carefully the amount of watering is watched, eventually the roots can rot because of too much moisture. The next part is the most fun — shopping for plants. Where are the best places to go? The truth is, containers need to start with the healthiest plants possible, which means shopping while the selection is best, around mid-May. Healthy plants can be found at many places — home improvement stores, plant sales, garden centers or one of my favorites, the off-the-beatenpath nursery. I always try to check plants for things like irregular growth, poor watering, environmental stress and healthy roots (yes, you can tip a plant out of a pot to check the root growth). I also want a plant that isn’t in full bloom to enjoy the full blooming cycle, and one that is the size I need now and not necessarily the one that will “grow into” the pot. Some never do. When selecting plants, I go for those that have interesting foliage, not flowers. I consider the flowers a bonus. I take my pot to the store, if possible, and try out various color combinations, always looking for plants

CUTLINE cutline cutline that have similar water and light needs so they all have the best chance of survival. The next step is arranging the plants in the containers. A classic formula is having a focal point plant, some trailing plants, and others to fill in (the “thriller, spiller, filler” idea). An example for a 16-inch container might be a purple fountain grass (thriller), three sweet potato vines (spillers) and three each of coleus, petunias and calibrachoa (fillers). However, there are other design combinations, like having one or two showy plants in a smaller pot, which can work just as well. There is one last purchase before the containers are ready to plant. That final shopping choice is a good quality soilless potting mix, one that is light and fluffy. Some have additives like time-release fertilizer (OK, though you may still have to add fertilizer later) and watergrabbing crystals (not proven to greatly benefit, from what I’ve read). Some people make their own, and there are lots of good recipes online. Finally, the planting. First water is added to the potting mix to moisten it; it will be easier to work with. I use an un-

bleached coffee filter or two to cover the hole in the bottom of the pot so that the soil will not easily come out when the container is watered. Since most plants need no more than 6 to 8 inches of soil in which to grow roots, in large containers I crush some empty clean plastic water bottles and use them as space fillers to reduce the weight. I fill the container up to the two-thirds mark with potting soil and rehearse the plants in different positions while still in their pots. Once my decision is made, I ease the plants out of their pots and transfer them into the container. I loosen any roots that have begun to circle the bottom of the root ball and squeeze each root ball if necessary to fit into the pot, adding soil so the plants sit at the same depth they were growing before. I sprinkle some slow release fertilizer (like Osmocote) on top and apply another bit of soil, water well and add more soil if necessary to top it off. Newly planted containers are like pets. They will need daily loving care (watering and fertilizing, as needed), but they will certainly add to the growing allure of any garden.

World Campus fund will aid military members By HARRY ZIMBLER

correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Choking back the tears that were welling up in his eyes, Al Matyasovsky explained the reason he has championed Penn State World Campus’ new Veterans’ Education and Advancement Fund, which will benefit members of the United States military and their immediate families. “I wanted to do something for vets,” Matyasovsky said. “I wanted to create a foundation to thank them for preserving the wonderful life we all enjoy.” Currently 20 percent of World Campus students are members of the military or related to an active-service individual. Matyasovsky, who made made a name for himself as a leader of Penn State’s Office of Physical Plant, spoke to a meeting of the State College Rotary Club on May 10 at the Nittany Lion Inn. He was determined to establish the fund to honor his parents, thanking them for all they had done for him as a young man growing up in a company town near Pittsburgh. Matyasovsky met with representatives of the World Campus. “They liked the idea so much they decided to steal it,” he joked. He grew up on a farm in Clearfield, though some of his

early life took place in a coal-mining town near Pittsburgh. “My parents, Edith and Al, lived in ‘the Patch,’” he said. The “patch” is a western Pennsylvania name for company towns owned by coal-mining companies. “They told me to study hard, treat people with respect and I would be fine. My mom would say, ‘Al, if you ever get paid to talk, you’ll be a millionaire.’” He learned early in life that being poor had nothing to do with who you are as a person. “Dad never complained. Was never boastful or bitter. We had no indoor plumbing and had to carry water from a community well.” Matyasovsky’s life changed when his high school guidance counselor told him, “Al, we send guys like you to college.” “Her name weas Ruth Manning and she called Dr. Bone at Lock Haven Teacher’s College. She turned to me and said, ‘You’re in.’ She even helped me get the money needed to pay for college.” To get his foundation started, he explained his idea to Mimi Coppersmith. “She liked it so much she told me to wait for her to write me a check.” It makes sense that Matyasovsky would want to combine a tribute to his parents with his respect for the U.S. military. “Dad landed at Normandy and helped liberate the prisons and concentration camps,” he said. “He worked for ‘Old Blood and Guts,’ Gen. Patton.” The details of the fund are not yet complete, but it

World War II veterans receive Quilts of Valor in Centre Hall By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — Three World War II veterans recently received handmade quilts from the Quilts of Valor Foundation. On May 15, at Grace United Methodist Church in Centre Hall, John “Jack” Yearick, of Centre Hall, and Glenn H. Rider, of Bellefonte, were presented with quilts by Carolyn and Steve Foust, representing the Happy Valley Quilts of Valor, the local chapter of the QOVF.

“We know that freedom is not free,” said Carolyn Foust. “The cost of our freedom is the dedication of men and women like you. Thus, we say thank you for your service.” Yearick was drafted into the U.S. Army and served in World War II, attaining the rank of technician fourth grade. He saw duty in the Philippines and in England. Rider served in the U.S. Army from 1942 to 1945 and was in foreign conflict 32 of the 36 months he served, with no furloughs during that time. He served in the Army

BOALSBURG — Despite the presence of 143 vendors, entertainment and an air of festivity, the committees who plan Memorial Day Weekend events in Boalsburg never lose sight of the importance of the day. Known as the “Birthplace of Memorial Day,” Boalsburg and its special weekend are filled with tributes to veterans — living and dead. The weekend begins Thursday, May 26, with wristband night at the Boalsburg Fire Company Carnival. The carnival continues through Monday, May 30, at 4 p.m. Memorial Day weekend in Boalsburg always culminates with a service at the cemetery, where the statue of the three women who first decorated the graves is located. Jeff Fisher took the reins of the Boalsburg Memorial Day two years ago. “The committee has been a joy to work with, so good at what they do,” he said. Fisher said the entertainment for the weekend includes the Little German Band, Pure Cane Sugar

He was a radio operator and technician. “One time, they shelled us,” said Frazier during the quilt presentation. “I was on the radio on a truck. A shell hit nearby, and put a hole in the radiator of the truck I was in. It was a very scary time for me.” Frazier’s daughter Nancy and his grandson U.S. Army Capt.

ford, Del., by Catherine Roberts. Her son’s year-long deployment to Iraq inspired her to see that returning warriors were welcomed home with the love and gratitude they deserved. She hit upon the idea that linking quilttoppers with machine quilters in a national effort could achieve her goal of covering all returning service men and women touched by war. These wartime quilts, called Quilts of Valor, would be a tangible reminder of an American’s appreciation and gratitude. Carolyn Foust said that more than 125,000 quilts have been awarded by the QOVF since 2003. She said that Happy Valley Quilts of Valor will present another eight quilts at upcoming events, including three on Memorial Day in Boalsburg.

BOALSBURG — “Old-school, small, safe, friendly” were the first words out of Boalsburg resident Ken Hull’s mouth when asked to describe the town he’s lived in for about a quarter of a century. “We greet each other, we say ‘hi,’” Hull said. “We ask each other how we’re doing and how things are going. It’s kind of oldA m e r i c a ’s

school like that. “Back in the day, that’s what people did. They walked through their town, they saw people doing yard work, or on their porch, and they stopped and chatted. We still do that here a lot. I consider Boalsburg more a village than a ‘town.’” Hull mentioned the heart of the village where the little business district is and the neighborhoods just off Main Street as one of perhaps four main places Boalsburgians

Me morial Day in Boalsburg and others well known in the area. The Centre PA Dance Workshop, whose members perform the Maypole Dance during the event, will receive a plaque to recognize 10 years of participation. At least 143 vendors are expected to be at Boalsburg with jewelry, clothing, art and much more to tempt shoppers. John Wainright, who is in charge of the vendors, said there are some new ones this year and everything from beads to burgers will be offered. Some wineries are coming on for the first time, too. According to Essie Miller, a longtime resident of Boalsburg, the event is much bigger than she remembers as a child. “There was a festival and memorial services at the churches, and little girls would carry flowers to the cemetery in back of the Lutheran church,” said Miller. “People would walk from the diamond to the cemetery for the Memorial Day service. There would be a choir and a speaker.” Miller has been involved in the pie-baking contest for many years. Community, from page 21 Dutch, the historic home recreates the furnishings and implements of its time period, a country store display and several separate recreated historic buildings on its grounds.

From the one-day celebration of Miller’s memory to now, the day once known as Decoration Day has grown into an entire weekend of programs. The programs bring the community together and still are aimed at honoring those who have served and given their lives in service to our country. One way veterans will be honored is through the presentation of Quilts of Valor. The Happy Valley Quilts of Valor group, part of a national organization, first organized last September and consists of 39 members. There are jobs for anyone with an interest in making the quilts, whether they are quilters or not. Some people cut, some stitch pieces together and there are others who do the quilting on larger long-arm machines. “We meet monthly and the funds to do this come from donations,” said Carolyn Foust, of Happy Valley Quilts of Valor. “It costs approximately $150 to $200 to create a quilt. Our group believes in awarding locally … . We will be at 4thFest and other venues to educate the public as to our mission and work.” This year, the organization will award three veterans

“I definitely encourage everyone to come to Boalsburg and walk around, talk to people,” said Hull. “You don’t have to live here to stop and talk with one of the residents. When they’re out, they love talking to people. Everybody’s friendly and welcoming. It’s one of the things that makes Boalsburg so great. Go into the shops, walk around the neighborhoods and don’t hesitate to talk to someone.” Hull’s own house, just off of Main Street, is an attentiongetter. He built the traditional log structure, which he calls a cottage, by hand many years ago with the help of local craftspeople. 08 “You know,” said Hull, “I often have people stopping and looking at my place because it’s such a unique little structure. If I’m not outside already, I’ll walk out the front door and greet them and talk to them. I’ve even invited people inside to give them a little tour of my place.” That’s just how they do it in Boalsburg.

Memorial Day, Monday, May 30 Remembering the meaning of Memorial Day By WALTER R. BORNEMAN Special to the Gazette

Each Memorial Day, in cemeteries across the country, flags flutter, flowers grace the graves of the departed and bugles sound the mournful notes of taps. Begun as a way to honor Civil War dead, the commemoration was long called Decoration Day because of the practice of decorating graves. The observance was held on May 30, no matter the day of the week. Since 1971, Memorial Day has been observed on the last Monday in May as the end of a federally mandated three-day weekend. Now firmly ingrained as the traditional start of the summer season, the solemn reasons behind the day have faded despite the continuing sacrifices of so many. Seventy years ago, it was very different. Memorial Day 1945 marked an uneasy time of mixed emotions. There was celebration, remembrance and dread. World War II in Europe was over by three weeks and no more battle casualties would join the rows of crosses planted from North Africa to the beaches of Normandy and across France into Germany. But the war in the Pacific still raged. Many Americans who had fought in Europe feared they would be going to the other side of the globe to continue the fight against Japan

rather than back to the States for a victorious homecoming. In the far Pacific, forces led by Adm. Chester W. Nimitz battled to wrap up the invasion of Okinawa, a long and bloody struggle that cost the lives of more than 12,000 American soldiers, sailors and Marines, including U.S. 10th Army commander Lt. Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner Jr. In the southwest Pacific, having fulfilled his promise to return to the Philippines, Gen. Douglas MacArthur sought to complete his occupation of the islands and plan the final assault against Japan. In the Pacific that year, Memorial Day observances were particularly solemn. Fresh graves were decorated in cemeteries with names largely unknown a year earlier: Saipan, Peleliu, Leyte, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. The question that could not yet be answered was how many more graves and cemeteries would be required to end the war. On Saipan, a special service was held for crews of B-29 bombers lost in the air war against Japan’s home islands. Their final resting places were unknown. In the United States, Eleanor Roosevelt intended to pay a quiet visit to her husband Franklin’s fresh grave at Hyde Park, but found instead an overflowing crowd of well-wishers. Among the tributes to the fallen leader was a wreath sent by the

current president, Harry Truman. It was laid on Roosevelt’s grave to honor the man who had led America longer than any other president and died within sight of victory. Truman also sent a message to a “Salute to the GI’s of the United Nations” rally in Madison Square Garden. The new president emphasized the four essential human freedoms long articulated by Roosevelt: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from want and freedom from fear. The American secretary of state and the Soviet ambassador to the United States were in attendance. Each praised American-Soviet cooperation in the war and expressed hopes for a long-lasting peace. In Chicago, an estimated 750,000 citizens turned out to cheer Gen. Mark W. Clark, a veteran of the long, frustrating Italian campaign. Clark had made a surprise flight from Paris to Chicago to lead a parade down State Street to observances at Grant Park. Clark expected to receive orders momentarily to report to the Pacific. On the West Coast, ports and shipyards continued to fill supply lines with men and materiel in anticipation of bitter and costly invasions to come. Yet, there was also the anticipation of hordes of returning servicemen. Newspapers warned veterans to be wary of scams that purported to offer college benefits.

In the tiny hamlet of Airmount, west of New York City, Jesse Tompkins was one of the few Civil War veterans still living. Two weeks shy of 98, he spent the day at his home reading newspapers and listening to the radio. Quoted as saying he had seen enough parades, Tompkins would not live to see Japan’s surrender. Mercifully for all, it came later that summer. On that Memorial Day 70 years ago — a day one newspaper called “a day of dedication” — there was indeed hope that battlefields would become relics of the past. Such has not been the case. No one foresaw then the places American soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen, as well as Coast Guard personnel, firefighters and law enforcement officers, would be required to make a stand. To the World War II names would be added Chosin Reservoir in Korea, Khe Sanh and Pleiku in Vietnam, Kirkuk in Iraq, the Korangal Valley of Afghanistan, the World Trade Center, and a thousand others at home and around the world. On this Memorial Day, we honor the sacrifices of prior generations. We honor the sacrifices of the men and women next door who have served or continue to serve our country. And we pledge never to forget the true meaning of Memorial Day. We would not have the privilege of celebrating this day and honoring so many memories without the sacrifices of those who gave their last full measure of devotion.

Playoff Blanking

Philipsburg-Osceola manhandles Westmont Hilltop, 9-0 By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

sports@centrecountygazette.com

PHILIPSBURG — The No. 9 seeded Westmont Hilltop softball team was facing enough adversity from No. 1 PhilipsburgOsceola in the District 6, AA quarterfinal May 23 without bringing more upon itself. Yet that’s what happened to the underdog Hilltoppers. Wesmont extended the Mounties’ first three innings by committing four errors, and P-O was quick to exploit every bit of its good fortune. Philipsburg scored three first-inning runs, added another two in the second, and continued to steadily draw away from Westmont for a 9-0 victory and a trip to the district semifinals. Eight of the nine starters for P-O had a least one hit on the day, and four — Kylie Thal, Haylee Hayward, Cam Harris and Jayde Burge — led the way with two apiece. Thal and Harris both had two doubles, and senior left fielder Chelsey Henry knocked in two runs and lofted a solo home run in the second inning. Harris and junior Maggie Peck split the duties on the mound for P-O, and they combined on a four-hit shutout, with three strikeouts and just two walks. Peck, who relieved Harris in the fifth inning, retired all nine batters she faced in order.

Add in a mistake-free defense and the game becomes another example of why the Mounties every year are vying for championships. “Fortunately, the kids buy into what we do,” Philipsburg-Osceola head coach Jim Gonder said. “Get better today, and at the end of the year, good things happen. “In playoff games, everyone knows that if you lose, you are going home. That puts a little pressure on you, but fortunately we have kids who are really good leaders and defensively we’ve been doing a good job and that’s the key to us.” P-O wasted little time getting on the board against Westmont. Peck walked to open the first inning, and Thal followed with an RBI double to leftcenter. Hayward singled, and Henry reached on a fielder’s choice when Westmont unsuccessfully tried to cut off Thal from scoring on Henry’s grounder. Harris then reached on an error, and one out later, Hayward scored on a sacrifice fly by Maddie Lucas that made it 3-0. The Mounties made it 5-0 in the second when Peck singled and came all the way around on a throwing error after a sacrifice bunt by Thal. One out later, Henry followed with her home run that sailed far over the fence in left field.

Bald Eagle takes down McCort, 9-2 By ZACH SEYKO

correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

MILESBURG — On May 23, thirdseeded Bald Eagle Area softball defeated 11th-seeded Bishop McCort Catholic High School, 9-2, to advance to the semifinals of the District 6 Class AA playoffs under first-year head coach Don Lucas. Freshman Zoey Surovec started in the circle for the Lady Eagles and earned the win, while Jenna Gaunt was dealt the loss for the Lady Crushers. First-year pitcher Surovec was absolutely lights out in her playoff debut. She tossed five scoreless innings and allowed only one hit and no earned runs. Not only did she keep the Lady Crusaders at bay with her arm, she had an outstanding glove as well, playing stellar defense to help out her cause. Junior pitcher Moreta Dyke took over in the fifth and kept Bishop McCort to just one hit and one run to seal the win for the Eagles. After two silent innings of dominant pitching, the Lady Eagles broke through and plated the first two runs of the game behind a two-run single from senior Sidney Schultz. The Lady Crushers responded in the top of the fourth when sophomore outfielder

Tory Sipe hit a single to cut the lead to 2-1 driving in junior Autumn Gossard. The Lady Eagles did more damage in the following half inning answering with three runs of their own. Bald Eagle was aggressive on the base paths as they tallied three stolen bases to set up their hitters with runners in scoring position. After junior second baseman Madison Ripka got on base courtesy of an error, sophomore outfielder Megan Kresovich followed with a walk. With both players making their way into scoring position, senior shortstop Mikala Smith stepped into the batter’s box with an excellent chance to add to the lead. Smith laid down a well-executed bunt that resulted in an RBI single. Senior catcher Morgan Nyman drove in two runs with a double to cap off the inning. After a scoreless fifth inning, the Lady Crusaders attempted to mount a comeback that was cut short by superb defense from the Lady Eagles. Gaunt, who later moved to shortstop, led off the inning with single and stole second, hoping to spark a rally. Their momentum was halted by junior third baseman Olivia Andrews, who had two key defensive plays to takeaway hits from the opponent. In the bottom of the sixth, Bald Eagle

Penn State hockey still the coolest ticket in town By BEN JONES

StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — With 95 percent of current season ticket holders renewing and the remaining tickets snatched up by those on the wait list, Penn State hockey continues to be a popular ticket — and season packages for the 2016-17 campaign have officially sold out. “Ninety-five percent renewal rate is phenomenal,” head coach Guy Gadowsky said. “We are looking forward to our streak of 31 straight sellouts to contiue. The atmosphere that’s created here is the best in college hockey.” A limited number of single-game tickets will go on sale Thursday, Aug. 4, through Monday, Aug. 8, for Nittany Lion Club members and hockey season-ticket holders. If tickets remain, they will go on sale Tuesday, Aug. 9, to the public. Additional information regarding sin-

gle-game sales will be released later this summer. The Penn State student ticket sale will take place in September with details to be released at a later date. For a second-straight year in 2015-16, Penn State played in front of the most packed house in college hockey. With Penn State fans bringing Pegula Ice Arena’s average attendance to 105.4 percent of capacity, it was a national best again as the Nittany Lions went 12-5-1 at home en route to a program-first 20-win season. Pegula Ice Arena has sold out 51 of its 54 total contests, with the Nittany Lions having played in front of 31 straight sellout crowds in the regular season. Penn State’s 20-game home schedule will be released later this spring when the Big Ten Conference slate and non-conference opponents are confirmed. The Nittany Lions will host 10 Big Ten and 10 non-conference games at Pegula Ice Arena in 2016-17.

PSU baseball celebrates seniors with 5-4 victory By ZACH SEYKO

correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The Penn State baseball team concluded its season with an exciting series finale against the visiting Iowa Hawkeyes on May 20 at Medlar Field, with a 5-4 extra innings victory in walk-off fashion on Senior Day. They finished the season (28-27) and (12-12) in conference play, but failed to make the Big Ten playoffs. Prior to the final contest, the Nittany Lions dropped the first and second games of the series. In the series opener, Iowa defeated Penn State 3-2. Senior pitcher Nick Hedge tossed an incredible game logging 6 2/3 innings pitched and five strikeouts in the final start of his college career. Although he allowed no earned runs, Hedge was credited the loss as all of Iowa’s runs in the second inning were unearned. Penn State attempted to inch its way back in the fourth and eighth innings behind senior outfielder James Coates’s RBI and senior first baseman Tyler Kendall’s RBI single. It was not enough, as Iowa freshman reliever Zach Daniels shut the door on the Nittany Lions for his fifth save of the year. Due to the possibility of inclement weather on May 21, the series finale was moved up to Friday, turning into a double header for the Big Ten teams. Penn State dropped the second game of the series 8-0. Hawkeyes senior pitcher Tyler Peyton held the Lions to only three hits and earned his fourth win of the season. In the series finale, Penn State was determined to finish the season on a high note behind freshman starting pitcher Justin Hagenman, who took the mound for Penn State. The New Jersey native was nothing short of impressive to this point,

as he owned a 6-3 record with an earned run average of 3.5 coming into the season finale. The Nittany Lions were down early in the match 4-0 by the third inning and Hagenman was pulled after 2 1/3 innings for sophomore reliever Nick Distasio. Payton opened up the game with a leadoff double for the Hawkeyes before being caught on the base paths attempting to steal third. Iowa plated their first run on junior third baseman Mason McCoy’s RBI single, scoring senior shortstop Nick Roscetti. In the second, the Hawkeyes added another run on a Peyton RBI single to score senior outfielder Eric Schenck-Joblinske after he reached on an error. The Hawkeyes continued to extend their lead over Penn State in the third. After back-to-back singles from senior centerfielder Joel Booker and McCoy, freshman outfielder Robert Neustrom drove Booker in on a groundout RBI. Senior catcher Daniel Aaron Moriel followed with a walk. Sophomore first baseman Austin Guzzo singled to left field giving the Hawkeyes their 4-0 lead. Penn State would turn a 6-4-3 double play to end the top half of the third and shift the momentum. The Nittany Lions plated their first run of the game in the bottom of the third. Junior catcher Alex Malinsky scored on senior outfielder Greg Guers’s RBI single to left after reaching base by a walk. The Hawkeyes and Nittany Lions’ bullpens were locked in a pitching duel for three scoreless innings before Penn State rose to the challenge and brought home two runs in the seventh inning to cut Iowa’s lead to one. Junior Nick Riotto and Kendall led off the inning with back-to-back walks. With two outs, freshman right fielder Jordan Bowersox delivered a clutch at-bat to

In the bottom of the eighth, the Blue and White looked to complete their rally and tie the game up at four apiece. Coates led off the inning with a walk and was successfully sacrificed over to second base by freshman second baseman Connor Klemann. Then, freshman shortstop Conlin Hughes knocked in Coates with the gametying RBI single. The next inning, Penn State was threatening again with Guers and Bowersox on the base paths. Coates stepped into the batters box tasked with hitting the gamewinning RBI. Coates came up short as he flied out to left field to send the game into extras.

In the 12th inning, Bowersox started off with a single to third base to give the Nittany Lions a base runner. Bowersox advanced to third courtesy of a sacrifice bunt and a wild pitch before crossing the plate on Klemann’s two-out base knock to win the ballgame. Penn State said goodbye to the eight senior members of their team. Kendall, Guers, Coates, Hedge and pitchers Jack Anderson and Jared Fagnano, in addition to student assistant coach Jordan Donmoyer and student manager Jesse Tull, were commemorated for their collegiate careers and their contributions to the Penn State baseball program with honorary framed jerseys presented to each of them at the conclusion of the series.

Philipsburg-Osceola tops Chestnut Ridge, 4-3 By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

sports@centrecountygazette.com

PHILIPSBURG — Nothing is more exciting in sports than when the home team rallies back from the absolute brink of defeat to pull out an overtime win in a must-win game. Unless, of course, that home team rallies back from the absolute brink of defeat twice. That’s what happened in Philipsburg-Osceola’s 10-inning, 4-3 win over Chestnut Ridge in the District 6 AA firstround game at Philipsburg on May 19. The Mounties went into the seventh inning against the Lions without a run and with only three hits to their credit, but a clutch double by P-O pitcher Josh Earnest scored Logan Williamson with the tying run. Earnest’s hit sent the game into extra innings and saved P-O’s season. Chestnut Ridge responded by putting the Mounties into still deeper jeopardy in the eighth when Brodie Harbaugh lined a two-out, two-run single to put the Lions ahead 3-1. This time, P-O waited even longer to respond. The Mounties scratched together a threat after a hit and an error put two runners on base with two outs for Williamson. Williamson took the count to his last strike before lining a double into left field that scored Brandon Kephart and Caleb Belinda, barely, with the tying runs and again saved P-O from elimination. Nothing happened in the ninth, and nothing happened in 10th until P-O rallied once more with two outs. Belinda singled, Williamson reached on another costly CR error, and Earnest was intentionally walked to bring up Isaac Knepp with the bases loaded. Knepp then joined the other clutch hitters for P-O when he sliced a seeing-eye ground ball just out of the reach of Chestnut Ridge second baseman John Kohler and into right field. Belinda crossed the plate with the winning run, and the Mounties had their most improbable victory of the season at just the right time. “Looking for a fastball,” Knepp said about his game-

winning hit, “because, you know, we are a fastball hitting team, but we’ll hit the curveball if we need to. Just put the bat on it.” As the innings ticked off in this game, it increasingly began to look like Dull would make CR’s unearned run in the third inning stand up as the game winner. John Deaner scored that run after doubling to lead off the inning — CR’s first hit — moving to third on a wild pitch, and then scoring on a pickoff attempt error. That accounted for the only run in the game until the bottom of the seventh. P-O did have chances against Dull. The Mounties put runners on base in every inning, including runners in scoring position in the second, third and fifth. Each time, though, Dull escaped unharmed, racking up 11 strikeouts along the way. In the seventh, playing the percentages, Chestnut Ridge put in closer Matt Monko to sew up the game. But with one out, Williamson walked, moved to second on a wild pitch,

and then tied the game on Earnest’s big double. “We kept searching for someone to come up with a big hit,” Philipsburg coach Doug Sankey said. “Josh (Earnest) was pitching a phenomenal game, and it was a shame we were losing 1-0. We really hadn’t done a whole lot offensively. Even Derek (Shaw) and Isaac (Knepp) and guys at the top of the order were struggling to get on. I kept thinking we were going to get one, but they had two really good pitchers. It was a battle.” After Philipsburg got its one, Chestnut Ridge put together its best inning of the game. Deaner singled, John Kohler singled, Dull was hit by a pitch, and then Harbaugh plated two runs with a single into left field. It could have been worse for the Mounties except for a pickoff at first base and two fielder’s-choice outs, but two runs was the biggest lead for either team in the game.

Barkley’s shot at Heisman may depend on Lions’ record By BEN JONES

StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — When ESPN.com rolled out a list of five players who could join the Heisman watch list if they have a strong start to their respective seasons, it was not surprise to see Penn State’s Saquon Barkley mentioned. (Yes, a watch list for a watch list.) Between his 1,076 yards rushing and his ability to turn on a dime, Barkley was the reason to tolerate Penn State’s often painful offensive play. When the ball was is in his hands, Beaver Stadium held its breath. It doesn’t matter how unwatchable things got at times, Barkley stepped up to the plate and people sat on the edge of their seats. It’s not a question of if he has “it.” There is a fair amount of guessing that goes into projecting how any player’s season or career will go, but if anyone has looked the part of Heisman winner, you’d be hard pressed to say why Barkley hasn’t shown all the signs of that potential. He may never win it, but it won’t be for a lack of talent of for the lack of potential. The larger question, though, is how good Penn State has to be for Barkley to even have a shot at winning it. The Heisman rarely goes to a player whose team is just scrapping above .500. There just isn’t much prestige in celebrating the best player on a bad team, not when the likes of Alabama and Ohio State are giving undefeated seasons a run for their money with players Philipsbug-Osceola, from page 26 And then, with runners on first and third and two outs in the bottom of the inning, Williamson struck a two-strike gapper that tied the game once again. “Well, I was just trying to do anything that would benefit our team,” Williamson

just as good as Barkley. But, there is some hope if you want to see Penn State bring home a second Heisman within the next two years. At least in theory there are numbers and history to back it up. Since John Cappelletti received the honor in 1973, 19 other running backs have won the Heisman trophy. Fifteen of those players have won it on a team that had two or fewer losses — what you would expect. It’s the other four, though, who make things interesting. In 1998, Ricky Williams won the award on a 9-3 team, in 1985 Bo Jackson won it going 8-4, Marcus Allen took home the trophy in 1981 having gone 9-3 and George Rogers the year before that got it at the 8-4 mark. The obvious issue here is that, for as good as Barkley might be, and as hypothetically entertaining this exercise is, he is no Bo Jackson and he isn’t quite Marcus Allen. That’s not a slight, it’s just simply the fact of the matter. When you look at the numbers even closer, it shows that Barkley will have to make a massive jump in production, too, if he wants to make up for Penn State’s potential middle-of-the-road record. Williams rushed for 2,327 yards, 29 touchdowns and caught 307 yards receiving. In comparison, Penn State’s entire offense in 2015-16 scored just 35 total offensive touchdowns and rushed for 2,143 yards. Allen made up for a 9-3 record with

2,342 yards on the ground and 22 touchdowns. Jackson had a “modest” 1,786 yards and 17 scores, but was a once-in-a-lifetime talent and once-in-a-generation athlete. Ultimately, none of this comes as a shock. To win the Heisman you have to be really good, in fact better than everyone, and if you’re on a team not all that good,

you have to be even better. That’s not rocket science, it’s just the point of the trophy. But if you like rooting for the underdog, four total Heisman winners since 1973 have won the award on a team with four losses. Tim Brown, of Notre Dame, joins the list in 1987 and the all-popular Tim Tebow in 2007 at Florida. So, it’s possible.

said, “and I was down to the last strike. Every at bat, especially in games like this, you have to fight to the last strike and that’s exactly what I was doing. Trying to put the bat on the ball. I was basically swinging at anything around the strike zone.” Neither team threatened in the ninth, but in the 10th it was Knepp’s turn to take

the stage for the Mounties. Before he came through with his game-winning hit, Knepp also relieved Earnest on the mound. He gave up a harmless, two-out single before getting Harbaugh to ground out for the third out, and then waited as his teammates loaded the bases for him to come to the plate. “I knew I had a big performance before

me with (Earnest), Knepp said about his relief work, “but I knew I had to come in and keep doing what we were doing.” The win advances the Mounties into the quarterfinals against No. 2 seed Richland, with the semifinals scheduled for tonight. The site and time for the final is yet to be determined.

Penn State women’s lacrosse team posts playoff victory By StateCollege.com UNIVERSITY PARK — The unseeded and 11th-ranked Penn State women’s lacrosse team is headed to its first NCAA semifinals since 1999 following an 8-4 victory over seventh-seeded and 14th-ranked Penn on May 21 at Penn State Lacrosse Field. “It was an awesome win for our program and just an awesome day in general,” said head coach Missy Doherty. “Our defense just played out of their minds today. They were stopping their main threats. I was so proud of them, how on top of things they were. Emi (Smith) made some crazy saves this game and our mark-up defenders did a great job on their key players. “It was a little rattling there and you could see the nerves coming out cause of the immense stress this kind of game provides but I was so proud of them to come through strong and make huge plays when it mattered.” Penn State will play No. 3 North Carolina in the national semifinals at Talen Energy Stadium in Chester on Friday, May 27. A game time has not been announced yet. The Nittany Lions will be making their 10th all-time appear-

ance in the national semifinals. The other semifinal will match Syracuse with the winner of Sunday’s quarterfinal matchup between top-seed Maryland and UMass. Penn State (14-6) used a 6-0 first-half run over a nearly eight-minute span, while holding Penn (15-5) scoreless for 27:32 to punch its ticket to the final four. The Nittany Lions were led defensively by Emi Smith, who stopped eight shots and allowed only four goals. Smith was vital down the stretch, stopping five Penn opportunities. The Nittany Lion defense shut down Penn’s top three scorers including the NCAA leader in assists, Nina Corcoran, who didn’t record a point for the first time all season. Junior captain Abby Smucker had a game-high threecaused turnovers as Penn’s top three scorers — Corcoran, Iris Williams and Alex Condon — combined for 12 of the team’s 18 turnovers. The four goals allowed were a seasonbest for the Nittany Lions. Offensively, senior Madison Cyr posted a four-point day on two goals and two assists. Freshman Madison Carter added a pair of goals and the scoring was filled out with tallies by Kelly Daggett, Steph Lazo, Jenna Mosketti and Maggie Gallagher.

Penn State, Pitt kickoff set for noon By BEN JONES

StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The long-awaited restart of an old series happen at noon Saturday, Sept.10, as the Nittany Lions travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Panthers in the second game of the 2016-17 season. The trip marks Penn State Football’s first visit to Pittsburgh in 16 years.

LET ET

HELP YOU BRING SUMMER FUN TO YOUR BACKYARD!

The game will be aired on either ABC or ESPN. The Nittany Lions visit the Panthers in the Steel City for the first time since a 12-0 loss during the 2000 season. The game is the first of a four-game home-and-home series between Penn State and Pitt. The Nittany Lions have met the Panthers more than any other opponent — 96 times — with Penn State owning a 50-42-4 series advantage. The teams first met in 1893 and played every season from 1900-31 and 193592, often in a compelling final game of the regular season. The teams did not meet from 1993-96, when Penn State began play in the Big Ten Conference, and then played a four-game series from 1997-2000, with the Nittany Lions winning the 1997-99 contests on the field. Previously announced, the Nittany Lions will host Maryland for Homecoming on Saturday, Oct. 8, at noon; Ohio State for the Penn State White Out on Saturday, Oct. 22, at 8 p.m.; and Iowa for Seats for Service Members on Saturday, Nov. 5, at 7:30 p.m. Additionally, Penn State’s game at Rutgers is slated for an 8 p.m. kickoff Saturday, Nov. 19.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State men’s swimmer Shane Ryan broke a pair of Irish national records at the 2016 European Aquatics Championships recently in London. The Nittany Lion will compete for Ireland at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janiero. Ryan was raised in Havertown s, but his father is a native of Ireland, so Ryan redshirted this past season and spent a year in residence in Ireland to become eligible to compete for the country in international meets. Ryan became eligible May 14 and submitted his first entry into the Irish record book two days later, as he broke the nation’s 100-meter backstroke record in the preliminaries of the 2016 Euros, touching the wall in 54.21 seconds. On the competition’s final day, Ryan led two record breaking efforts in the 400-meter medley relay. In the preliminaries, his quartet finished in a record time of 3:38.40. The team then shaved nearly a second off its initial time in the finals to place seventh in 3:37.47. Ryan owns Penn State’s records in the 100-yard backstroke and the 50- and 100-yard freestyles. He finished third in the 100 back at the 2015 NCAA Championships and second the year prior. The All-American was also the 2014 Swimmer of the Big Ten Championships. He plans to return to Penn State this fall. Ryan is one of two Penn State men’s swimmers set to compete in the Rio games. Rising sophomore John Nunez will compete for the Dominican Republic. P-O manhandles, from page 25 fourth on consecutive doubles by Harris, Burge and Lucas that made the score 8-0. Thal’s second double in the fifth, followed by an RBI hit by Hayward, wrapped up the scoring for the Mounties. “We really stayed focused all week,” Hayward said, “and walked in and keyed in on the things we needed to get better at. I think we took advantage of some of the mistakes. We talk about that, when they fall, we have to keep going. “I think we played really well today, and everybody played really well. I didn’t have hits here and there, but it doesn’t matter. We have girls on this team that pick you up, that’s our entire motto.” While Philipsburg was deliberately adding to its lead, Harris retired six of the first seven batters she faced. Westmont, however, did threaten to break through in the third and fourth innings. In the third, after two singles and a walk loaded the bases with two outs, Harris struck out Courtney Krall to end the inning without any damage. In the fourth, the Hilltoppers loaded the bases again with one out, this time on a single by Gabby Nash, a walk and a hit batter. But Peck, playing first base at the time, cut off a run with a force-play at home, and then Harris got leadoff hitter Hannah Davis to pop up for the third out. Peck came in to relieve Harris in the fifth, and she did not allow another Westmont baserunner. “When you are playing the best team, the No. 1 seed,” Westmont-Hilltop coach John Grace said, “you can’t give them the extra outs. We did that the first inning, the second inning and the third inning. And their top six are a strong as they can be. “We had opportunities though, but their pitcher came through when she needed to. It wasn’t our day.” Philipsburg-Osceola (19-2) now will host No. 4 Ligonier Valley on Thursday, May 26, at 4 p.m. in the district semifinals. The winner will advance to the finals Friday, June 1, at the Nittany Lion Softball Park on the Penn State campus.

FUSE Productions to stage ‘My Fair Lady’ STATE COLLEGE — FUSE Productions presents the legendary stage musical “My Fair Lady,” in celebration of the original Broadway show’s 60th anniversary. Performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Thursday, June 9, through Saturday, June 11, as well as Thursday, June 16, through Saturday, June 18, at at the Penn State Downtown Theatre Centre, 146 S. Allen St. in State College. There also will be 2 p.m. matinees Sunday, June 12, and Saturday, June 18. Based on George Bernard Shaw’s 1913 play “Pygmalion,” the musical features book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe. When Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower seller, meets Professor Henry Higgins one night in Covent Garden, they agree to embark on a daring experiment. Higgins wagers that he can transform the “deliciously low” Eliza into a lady fit for society by teaching her to

speak more beautifully. Sparks fly in what becomes a funny and ferocious battle of the sexes, a struggle of classes and a rollicking romance. The original Broadway production, starring Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews, boasted a score that features “I Could Have Danced All Night” and “I’ve Grown Accustomed To Her Face.” It ran for more than six years and 2,717 performances, a record at the time. It also won six Tony awards in 1956, including best musical, best director for Moss Hart and best actor for Rex Harrison. “It was the ‘Hamilton’ of its day,” said the local production’s director and producer, Rich Biever. “And Eliza Doolittle was the breakout role for a very young Julie Andrews. Eliza’s story arc

is really timeless, really appealing. She becomes her own person during the show and ultimately a match for the misogynistic, overbearing Henry Higgins. This is still a very contemporary, resonant theme.” FUSE Production’s musical

stars Steve Snyder as Henry Higgins and Lisa Marie Rogali as Eliza Doolittle. “It’s scary,” said Lisa Rogali about portraying Eliza in the upcoming production. “People expect a lot of the part — they’ve

seen Audrey Hepburn (in the movie version), they’ve heard Julie Andrews. Just getting the changing accents down is very challenging.” Rogali, a 2016 Penn State graduate, recently received the Metropolitan Opera National Council’s Encouragement Award. She will pursue her master’s degree in voice/opera performance at the University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music in the fall. Penn State theater professor Steve Snyder, who portrays Henry Higgins, grew up with the show and is excited to take on such an interesting role. “It was the first movie musical I ever saw, and it’s a part I’ve always wanted to do, because everybody wants to write off Hig-

gins as misogynistic. I have to try to bring out what makes him sympathetic despite this obvious flaw.” Snyder recently played the villain J. Bruce Ismay in Penn State Centre Stage’s “Titanic” and felt that it was “good preparation for this role, having to figure out what makes him tick.” The upcoming production features a 14-person cast that includes a mix of Penn State faculty, current and recent undergraduates and local talent, including Frank Wilson, Tom McClary, Joyce Robinson, Aidan Wharton and Sally Best. It features live musical accompaniment and is directed by Biever, with choreography by Jill Brighton, set design by Michael G. Benson and costumes by Julie Snyder. Tickets are $25 for adults, $30 for premium seating and $15 for students and can be purchased at https://fuseproductions. thundertix.com/.

Creative professionals group presents marketing awards STATE COLLEGE — Professional group [CP]2 hosted its second Bracket Awards — a competition awarding excellence in advertising, design and marketing created in Central Pennsylvania — on May 19 at Black Sun Studio in State College. Radio host Dawn Ziegerer emceed the event and presented gold and silver Bracket Awards to 16 local agencies, media outlets, businesses and nonprofits. More than 100 people were in attendance at the event sponsored by Comcast Spotlight. “We were blown away at the level of work submitted this year. Central Pennsylvania is spoiled by the local talent of marketers, communicators and designers,” said [CP]2 president Mark D. Dello Stritto. “The Bracket Awards shines a spotlight on this great work happening in the area while giving us a chance to come together as a community and celebrate all the hard work we put in.” Best in Show was awarded to State College-based agency Rowland Creative for

the promotional posters they created for artsUP on behalf of Penn State’s College of Arts and Architecture. Creative director Dan Rowland and designers David Spak and Brad Jamison were responsible for the work. “We chose an illustration style that encouraged creativity by imagining what can come out of a single blot of paint. The colored sphere, which references the artsUP logo, is repurposed as elements of the disciplines taught by the College of Arts and Architecture,” the agency wrote on their submission form. “We wanted each piece to reflect the concept of art being a personal experience and the ability to create your own masterpiece.” [CP]2, also known as Central Pennsylvania Creative Professionals, accepted more than 130 entries and presented 56 awards this year. The entries were judged by a third-party panel of five marketing experts and those receiving the highest marks were selected for an award.

industry leaders, UPCEA works to advance leadership among member institutions. “We’re excited to work with UPCEA to help its members continue to lead the field of professional, continuing and online education by leveraging data for institutional and student success,” said Darren Wagner, TMMData’s chief marketing officer. “As data collection and analysis become increasingly important in higher education, we’re eager for TMMData’s expertise — particularly in integrating and mobilizing information across their complex organizations — to aid UPCEA’s forward-thinking objectives in advancing higher education.” “Having worked closely with more than 100 colleges and universities, many lack the systems that can speed up the decision-making process, improve accountability and improve retention while increasing revenue and reducing costs,” said Jim Fong, director of the UPCEA Center for Research and Marketing Strategy. “Institutions struggle with legacy systems interfacing with more progressive student information or CRM systems. As a result, few institutions can produce real-time dashboards or predictive analytics — one of the many reasons I look forward to working with TMMData to provide UPCEA members with the data they need.” For more information, visit www. upcea.edu.
