UNIVERSITY PARK — The 46th annual Special Olympics Summer Games, held at Penn State June 4, 5 and 6, were a big hit, with approximately 2,500 athletes representing 52 Pennsylvania counties converging on University Park for the event. The Summer Games put the wraps on several weeks of training and competitions. And, while the athletes garner most of the attention, the event couldn’t take place without the many volunteers who spend the weekend at Penn State to make sure the games go off without a hitch. And while the majority of the volunteers are local, some are not. Rose Belante drove in from Mifflin County to help at the games. “I think it’s just a wonderful, wonderful event,” Belante said. “To see these athletes do what they do, it brings a smile to my face. I can’t think of any other place I’d rather be this weekend.” Belante said that she’s been volunteering at the Summer Games for several years. During that time, she’s become friends with some of the athletes and their families. “You see a lot of the same people year after year. They know you. Sure, it’s a big event — a huge event — but there’s always time to stop and talk with the athletes. It’s not just about the competition, which is nice,” Belante said.

New county project to benefit area firefighters
TURNING THE PAGE
By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com
BELLEFONTE — Pretty soon, life is going to get quite a bit easier for Centre County’s dedicated firefighters. At their June 9 meeting, the Centre County commissioners took a major step forward on a long-awaited project, giving area fire companies a new resource to test
their equipment and train their staffs. The commissioners accepted a bid to build something called a drafting pit at the Centre County Emergency Services Training Facility. Essentially, the drafting pit will be a massive underground water reservoir with 30,000 gallons of storage capacity. Firefighters, Page 6

School board approves budget, tax increase By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — The State College Area School District is officially ready for the upcoming school year. After months of tweaking and planning, the school board passed its 2015-2016 budget on June 8. The budget represents both a significant tax increase for State College residents and a major step forward for the district’s long-awaited high school renovation project. Board member Jim Pawelczyk was the lone dissenting vote against passing the $137 million budget. By passing the budget, the school board approved a 5.49 percent tax increase with a 41.67 millage rate. That tax increase is actually lower than the 6.09 percent that was considered in an earlier version of the budget. For the average taxpayer with a home assessed at about $72,000, the 5.49 percent increase translates to an additional $156 per year. The majority of that tax increase — 3.59 percent of it, to be exact — will go directly to the $124 million cost of the high school project. In May 2014, State College voters agreed to pay $85 million of that total cost, which will be raised through the new tax increase. The tax increase is significantly larger than the average yearly increase of 2.56 percent. Only the 2003-2004 budget, which called for a 6.17 percent increase, included a large tax increase than the current budget. However, the 2015-2016 budget is also the only budget that’s had to account for a project as large as the high school renovation. If considered without the 3.59 percent increase to fund the high school project, the remaining 1.9 percent increase is actually the second-lowest increase passed by the school board since 2002. The school board also approved a new program to help some State College residents offset the burden that may come from the taxes to pay for the new high school.

Alleged abuser facing new set of charges By StateCollege.com staff STATE COLLEGE — A State College man already behind bars on charges of domestic abuse just got hit with new criminal charges. Benjamin Budd, 34, has been at the Centre County Correctional Facility on $75,000 bail since May 5, but Magisterial District Judge Kelley Gillette-Walker has now added an additional $10,000 for a second set of allegations. Budd first attracted the attention of police on May 4, when police officers responded to a call about a car crash at the intersection of Trout Road and Mountain Laurel Drive in College Township. Budd’s new charges — including unauthorized use of a vehicle, a misdemeanor — stem from this accident. However, officers put Budd’s traffic offenses on the back burner after speaking to his wife. While looking into the accident, police officers discovered Budd’s wife was in the hospital, but she told officers that her injuries had nothing to do with the car crash. She reportedly told officers that Budd
HOME & HEARTH
had repeatedly beaten and abused her over the past seven years. Police said that she was in the hospital for injuries consistent with domestic abuse, including bruises around her neck that supported her claim she’d been choked. Police charged Budd with aggravated assault, simple assault, reckless endangerment, making terroristic threats and harassment — but they weren’t quite done. Budd faces more criminal charges for allegedly taking his wife’s car without permission and crashing it into a lawn in College Township. Police say Budd caused more than $1,700 worth of damage — more than the estimated value of the car he was driving — after he reportedly swerved to avoid an obstacle in the road, crossed the center lane, flipped the car, demolished a mailbox and tore up a lawn owned by a homeowner’s association. In addition to the new unauthorized use of a vehicle charged, Budd also is charged with multiple minor traffic offenses. He remains in the Centre County Correctional Facility while awaiting a new preliminary hearing.

The school district will now offer a property tax rebate program for elderly and disabled residents, which board members approved with a final vote on June 8. The school district will accept applications for rebates starting on Wednesday, July 1, and will continue to take applications until Thursday, June 30, of next year. To take advantage of the program, taxpayers have to meet certain criteria: an applicant must be a homeowner and at least 65 years old, or at least 50 years old if the applicant is a widow or 18 years old if the applicant has any disabilities. Applicants also must have received a homestead or farmstead exclusion for the 2014-2015 tax year, received a rebate from the Pennsylvania Property Tax/Rebate Program, and have paid their 2014-2015 real estate tax bill by the end of last December. The rebate program, which was specifically designed for senior citizens and other residents living on fixed incomes, offers up to $650 per year per household. Rebates will be awarded on a first-come, firstserved basis, and checks will be mailed out every month. The school board also heard an update on the high school project design, which is just about 90 percent complete. Although the blueprints look largely the same as they did at the 60 percent design milestone, SCASD director of physical plant Ed Poprik assured the board that he and his team have been hard at work. “A lot of the work that’s happened between 60 and 90 percent are technical details and the kinds of things we don’t talk about in public meetings,” Poprik said. “One major change with the floor plan is that we’ve managed to move the physical education space from just a concept to a 90 percent complete design in less than a month.” The design team had to hit the ground running on the high school’s physical education plans after the school board added two new gyms in April. School district officials broke ground on the high school project last month. Preliminary site work at the State High south building will begin this summer.

Former KDR brother files lawsuit against frat and PSU By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — The former Kappa Delta Rho brother who went to police in January has launched a lawsuit against his former fraternity and Penn State — claiming that Penn State had the chance to stop the alleged abuse and did nothing. And, in a plot twist that occurred simultaneously, the national KDR organization has expelled nearly 40 members from the Penn State chapter for violating the fraternity’s values. James Vivenzio, through his attorney Aaron Freiwald, filed his lawsuit in Philadelphia County court on June 8. In addition to Penn State University and the Penn State KDR chapter, he also is suing the national KDR organization and two Penn JAMES VIVENZIO State fraternity governance organizations. “When I talked to members during KDR rush, they talked about brotherhood and honor,� said Vivenzio during news conference held the day he filed the suit. “But I learned the hard way, the painful way, that the fraternity house was a lot of things, but honorable was not one.� Vivenzio went to the State College Police Department in January to report longrunning issues of hazing, drug use and a private Facebook page that allegedly hosted photos of nude, unconscious women. Vivenzio now claims he went to the university eight months before talking to police, and that Penn State failed to investigate his claims. He accuses the various defendants of negligence, battery, furnishing alcohol to minors, false imprisonment and fraud. He is seeking compensatory and punitive damages for “severe injuries and losses, both physically and psychologically,� ac-
cording to court documents. “What allowed these things to happen are the culture and beliefs of this individual fraternity, the KDR national organization and the university itself,� Freiwald said. Freiwald said Vivenzio and other KDR pledges were repeatedly harassed and hazed during the fall 2014 semester at Penn State, despite university and fraternity policies against hazing. Freiwald and Vivenzio claim pledges were regularly forced to drink excessive amounts of liquor against their will. They said pledges would sometimes be woken in the middle of the night to drink and exercise in the dark, or would be forced to collectively drink a bucket of liquor, hot sauce and urine. On two separate occasions, Vivenzio was reportedly burned with a cigarette and punched multiple times in the face for attempting to get out of hazing rituals. When he called a university hazing hotline to report the alleged abuse, other fraternity members found out and began to search for “the rat� who reported the alleged abuse, Freiwald said. Vivenzio said he began gathering evidence, including screenshots of numerous group text messages that allude to hazing and drug use, which he brought to Danny Shaha, of the Penn State Office of Student Conduct. “Penn State recklessly and unconscionably sat on the information Whistleblower Vivenzio had first brought to Penn State’s attention, causing further harm to Mr. Vivenzio and to untold numbers of students whose injuries and damages from hazing and sexual misconduct could have been prevented had Penn State acted quickly, responsibly and decisively,� the lawsuit reads. When Vivenzio brought his allegations to police in January, it sparked a criminal investigation and media firestorm in State College, leading to headlines all across the country. Since then, Penn State has banished

KAPPA DELTA RHO’S national organization has expelled nearly 40 members from the Penn State chapter for violating the fraternity’s values. Kappa Delta Rho from campus for three years following an internal investigation. A number of KDR members also face discipline and possibly expulsion through the university’s Office of Student Conduct, but the details of individual cases are not being released to the public. Penn State has also pledged to conduct a thorough review of fraternity life as a whole and its role at Penn State through a new university task force. Also on Monday, the national KDR organization announced that it expelled 38 members from the Penn State chapter of the fraternity. A statement from Kappa Delta Rho executive director Joseph Rosenberg called the actions of these members “regrettable,� and said KDR looks forward to possibly rejoining the Penn State com-
munity in three years. “I still do not know why the administration will not come right out and state that it dragged its feet after I followed the rules ‌ before forcing me to go to the police,â€? Vivenzio said. “By bringing this lawsuit, I hope we can finally get an answer to that question and many, many more. But more importantly, I’m hoping we can help end hazing at Penn State and elsewhere.â€? More information about the case can be found at www.endhazingnow.com, which Vivenzio said he set up to serve as a resource for victims of hazing and sexual misconduct. Representatives from Penn State and the national KDR organization did not immediately return requests for comment.

State High holds graduation ceremonies By ZACH BERGER StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Sir Edward Elgar’s unmistakable “Pomp and Circumstance” was played at the Bryce Jordan Center on June 6. Graduation caps were thrown into the air and hundreds of students moved on from State College High School, ready to go to the next level and, for many, that means heading to college. The graduating senior class was comprised of 561 students who received their diplomas, officially marking the end of their time at State High. At the top of the class is Enrique Del Castillo, who was born in Texas and has lived the vast majority of his life in State College. Del Castillo, whose parents hail from Mexico City, was the senior class valedictorian, graduating with a 4.9 GPA. “For me, having the honor of being the valedictorian is a reflection of the hard work I put in to accomplish this goal I had set in my mind,” he said. “My main motivation in school was to learn as much as I could and to prepare me for further studies in college by gaining as wide of a knowledge base as possible.” Del Castillo will attend Princeton Uni-
versity in the fall. And while he isn’t entirely sure what he wants to study, he has his sights set on geoscience and applied mathematics. As he moves on to the next step in life, Del Castillo will surely miss his hometown. “I’ll miss my family, some of my friends who live here and the tranquility of the town,” he said. And for his fellow graduating seniors, Del Castillo has some succinct words of advice. “To work as hard as possible and to never settle for complacency,” he said. At the graduation ceremony, superintendent Bob O’Donnell addressed the students, poking some fun at their love of snow delays. But on a more serious note, O’Donnell imparted some words of wisdom on the high school graduates. He gave the class three pieces of advice. The first was to work toward creating a life they enjoy and appreciate, not just a résumé that looks good on a piece of paper. The second was to emphasize education and put their all into their studies at the collegiate level. And lastly, O’Donnell reminded the students to stay in touch with their parents and call home once a week. The touching ceremony also included a speech from class president Jimmy Steff,

PSU employees schooled on eliminating violence StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Imagine that classic movie scene where a military general briefs the president on some kind of epidemic spreading across the country. A map of the nation has just a few red dots on it, but as the projection continues, the dots rapidly spread until the county is engulfed in red. That’s how Dorothy Edwards, the executive director of Green Dot, explained the spread of violence to a group of Penn State faculty and staff at a bystander intervention training session on June 8. In her analogy, those red dots are instances of violence — be it a sexual assault, stalking, physical assault and so on. “A red dot is the moment he raises his hand to strike it down against his partner,” Edwards said. “A red dot is when she shows up outside his dorm room, even though they broke up, and he told her to leave him alone. A red dot is when someone uses their words to intimidate or coerce someone else.” And what’s the answer to eliminating those red dots? It’s green dots, and that’s why Edwards’ bystander intervention program is called Green Dot. It was selected by Penn State’s Bystander Intervention Task Force out of a vast array of similar pro-

universe been a culture change that didn’t require a lot of people to do something,” Edwards said. “We need to get lots of people at Penn State to each say, ‘I will do my moment,’ and when we get there, our numbers are going to shift.” Edwards offered a simple method for people to use to be that positive change and work toward eliminating violence on campus. It is called “the three Ds.” The first is the “direct” approach. If someone sees a situation developing that could be a potential red dot, and they feel comfortable directly approaching the situation, they should. For example, if a friend is leaving a bar with someone else and seems to be too drunk, stop him or her and offer to take them home. The second is to “delegate.” If you feel uncomfortable directly approaching the situation, find someone else who might be better fit to do so. In the example above, talking to a bouncer or someone who is closer with the intoxicated person would suffice. In other cases, reaching out to a family member of someone in danger or the police might be warranted. The third is to “distract.” Edwards told another story of a student she met at Penn State. He saw his fraternity brother taking a drunk girl upstairs at a party — something he had seen plenty of times before.
grams, said task force chair Katie Tenny. “We really liked their message. We felt it was simple and that students would resonate with that message,” Tenny said. “It’s also a comprehensive program, so it’s not just training us on the actual program, but it talks about social ecology and all these different levels of change that need to happen.” The training session was part of a comprehensive bystander intervention program adopted by the university this year. A task force on sexual assault and harassment made 18 recommendations to Penn State President Eric Barron, all of which he accepted. One of those was the implementation of a bystander intervention program, which aims to create a culture change that puts more green dots on that map. Edwards offered an example of a female student she met and how intervention from a bystander affected her. The student was extremely drunk as she got on her dorm elevator. Two male students were also on the elevator, and they asked her to come back to their room. As she stumbled off the elevator on their floor, a hand reached out from behind her. Another student, who she didn’t realize was on the elevator, stopped her and offered to take her back to her dorm room. “There has never in the history of the

In this case, he stopped his friend and told him his car was getting towed. While he went outside to check on his car, the girl’s friends took her home. “I know the teachers in this room don’t like to hear this, but there is no personal growth needed to make positive change,” Edwards said. “No matter who you are, right in this moment, even if you have no desire to evolve beyond peer pressure, there are green dots you can do. And you can change a life.” Reactive green dots aren’t the only solution, said Edwards. On her map, she pointed out all the white space in between the red and green dots. Edwards said that being proactive fills that white space with green, making it hostile toward the creation of future red dots. Through an emphasis on prevention at the administrative level, initiatives and policies can be funded and implemented. From support services for victims to taking all reports seriously, Edwards said that the university can create a culture where violence isn’t tolerated at Penn State and everyone is part of the solution. Those who took part in the workshop will now be able to train students, faculty and staff members on bystander intervention. Representatives from 18 Penn State campuses were present at the training session.

Special Olympics, from page 1 The athletes echoed her sentiments. While some come to the games with their eyes on the medals stand, others simply love the bonding and friendship that take place over the course of the weekend. Bryan Scanlon, 21, of Allegheny County, was thrilled to be at the games. “It’s my first time here,” Scanlon explained. “It feels great.” In addition to it being his first trip to the Summer Games, it was his first visit to Happy Valley. And as thrilled as he was to compete, Scanlon was looking forward to a refreshing end to his Saturday. “I really want to try the ice cream,” he said, referring to Berkey Creamery. “Everyone has been talking about it today.” For some Special Olympics athletes, making it to Penn State is familiar territory. Robert Cooney, of Bedford, was back for his fifth Special Olympics Summer Games. He competed in softball. “I just love it,” Cooney said. “I love being here with my coaches and teammates. I love to play (softball).” Cooney said that he enjoys playing first base, but he’d go wherever the coaches need him to play. “It’s all about my team,” he said. Of course, if it’s the Special Olympics, you can certainly count on an appearance from Sue Paterno. A longtime supporter of the games, Paterno was honored for her many years of dedication. Matthew Aaron, CEO of Special Olympics Pennsylvania, presented Paterno with a large ceramic bowl, which had been painted by athletes during the 2014 Summer Games. “It’s too pretty to put anything in it. Thank you all very much,” Paterno said. “I get more out of this than you’ll ever believe. I love you all and I love being with you all the time.” Paterno said that the gift touched her heart. She said the bowl will always hold a special meaning for her. “When it gets really cold and I know Summer Games are so far away; my bowl will keep me warm,” Paterno said. According to Aaron, Paterno’s presence is a valued part of the games. “As much as you love her, I think she loves all of you even more,” Aaron told the athletes. “Sue has been a very dedicated board member for a very long time.” (Editor’s note: StateCollege.com contributed to this report.)

DA wants Centre County held in contempt of court By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT
Shortly after Kurtz issued his order, Centre County received a Right to Know from David Crowley in the county’s public defender office. Crowley wanted to see certain phone records of Parks Miller and Common Pleas Judge Bradley Lunsford, but the county denied his request and cited Kurtz’s order as the
reason why. But even though the county denied the request, Parks Miller’s attorney, Bruce Castor, says the county violated the judge’s order by responding at all. “The county did not direct the request to the district attorney to respond, even
though the ‘district attorney’ is the ‘appropriate official,’” the motion for contempt reads. “... The district attorney first learned of the request when it was on appeal.” After the county denied his request, Crowley appealed the decision to the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records. In his appeal, he argues that Kurtz was wrong to rule that the county had no authority to release the phone records of judicial employees. In the motion for contempt, Castor argues that the county purposefully responded to Crowley’s request to give him the ability to appeal the decision to the office of open records. He said the county wants the office of open records to step in to contravene the authority of Judge Kurtz and the court of common pleas. “This behavior demonstrates the complete and contemptuous disregard the
County holds for this Court’s authority, its existing Court Orders, and it shows blatant and active intent to frustrate the intent of this court,” the motion reads. “In essence, the County is trying to pit this Court against the (office of open records).” Castor concludes by asking the court to schedule a hearing to decide if the county is in contempt of court. He wants the court to fine the county, force the county to cover attorney’s fees, and possibly charge county officials involved with denying Crowley’s RTK request with criminal charges. Mary Lou Maierhofer, an attorney for Centre County, did not immediately return requests for comment. Centre County is currently appealing Kurtz’s decision in Parks Millers’ lawsuit. The county is also being sued in two very similar lawsuits from two county judges, and the county is appealing a similar decision from Kurtz in those lawsuits.
em said that Caliber Contracting Services has completed other county projects, giving the commissioners “a good familiarity” with the quality of their work. Hoffman said he’d “like to see us move pretty quickly on this,” but also admitted that the timeline recently got pushed back a little bit. The project is now expected to be completed by the end of September, he said. “This is something that we should’ve had a long time ago,” said Boalsburg Fire Company Chief Van Winter. “It’s great that the commissioners have stepped up to the table to make this happen.” Winter says it’s very important to regularly check to make sure every company’s firetrucks can pump enough water to ef-
fectively fight fires — but it’s been getting harder and harder to run the necessary tests. Area fire companies used to go to down the road to Colyer Lake to test their pumpers, but Winter said that’s no longer an option. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission began draining the lake back in 2013 to repair a leaking dam, forcing fire companies to find alternate water sources. But over the past two years, Winter said, new regulations have made it increasingly difficult for fire companies to use lakes and streams to test their pumpers’ flow capacity. Winter said these regulations are meant to prevent the spread of bacteria between
bodies of water, which he understands. But it also gives the fire companies extra legal hoops to jump through to run the water though their pumpers. By building a drafting pit in Centre County, area fire companies will be able to run tests and pumper trainings without the need to set up elaborate plans with state water-monitoring agencies, Winted said. He also pointed out that any water used from the drafting pit will be recycled back into the pit, so there won’t be the need to waste any more water from other sources. “It’s going to be a lot easier now that we’ll have a central location and a consistent draft,” Winter said.

BELLEFONTE — District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller has renewed her legal assault against Centre County by asking a judge to hold the county in contempt of court. Parks Miller is suing Centre County for releasing her phone records to defense attorneys in response to Right to Know requests, which she argues violates state law and county policy. After a hearing in the case in May, Huntingdon County Judge Stewart Kurtz issued an order telling the county not to respond to any new Right to Know requests and to forward those requests to the appropriate office. But in new court documents filed on June 9, Parks Miller says the county continues to act in “flagrant violation” of that order. Firefighters, from page 1 “Fire companies have to test their pumps each year by federal law, and this will allow them to do this locally instead of sometimes going all the way to Pittsburgh just to test their pumps,” Bob Hoffman, of Hoffman Leakey Architects, explained at the commissioners meeting. “This will be a very nice improvement to our facility, not just for our local fire companies, but for all the regional companies because of how close it is.” A bid from the Pittsburgh-based Caliber Contracting Services won the support of the commissioners. Their bid estimates the cost of the project between $158,000 and $173,000. Commissioner Steve Dersh-

Not enough of us save for the future By The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Do you have a retirement account? Enough money in savings? Many Americans don’t, according to the Federal Reserve’s annual household survey, which found that nearly a third of workers have put away nothing for old age and that almost half of individuals would struggle to meet emergency expenses of $400 or more. The survey shows encouraging developments, too: Compared with the past two years, more people today forecast short-term pay increases and register satisfaction with the state of their personal finances. But much of the news remains mixed, especially as it relates to savings and retirement. Twenty percent of individuals acknowledged having spent more than they earned over the course of the year. Only 63 percent said they had put away money in the same period. And 39 percent of workers reported not having given any thought to retirement plans. Economic hardship appears to be the main culprit behind these problems; not surprisingly, low-income individuals reported the greatest difficulties in saving. But poor financial literacy also seems to be a factor. Fourteen percent of those who borrowed to pay for their education said they put debt on their credit card. Twenty percent of individuals did not have a bank account, and instead used other methods to transact business. These are foolhardy choices considering the high interest rates on credit-card debt and alternative financial services, such as payday lending. Given these troubling statistics, banks and schools should do more to educate Americans about long-term financial planning. To its credit, the Social Security Administration already does so with online tools that enable workers to gauge their benefits upon retirement. But people also need to take greater control of their financial futures. For too many, the money choices that seem convenient today could prove catastrophic tomorrow.

When the Department of Energy released a report last month championing the construction of larger, more-powerful wind turbines, the wind industry unsurprisingly greeted the news with enthusiasm. With an extension of the “hub height” of turbines to 360 feet, the chief executive of the American Wind Energy Association said, wind energy could expand to all 50 states. Less ardent was the association’s response to scientists’ concerns about the half-million birds that die each year from collisions with existing turbines: Some migrating birds, a spokesman said, fly too high to be harmed by rotor blades. Indeed. Some birds do fly very high. But far more travel at the very altitudes that would put them at greatest risk of colliding with the taller turbines. A new report last month from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service calls into question the wind industry’s assertion that birds fly well above wind turbines’ rotor blades. Using radar, researchers examined fall migration at

dents for strangers? Is this part of the “it takes a village?” I decided to pack up my stuff and leave the pool, and I have questioned that decision ever since. In conversations with people about the incident, reactions were mixed. Some were in the MYOB (mind your own business) Camp. After all, the girls weren’t under my charge. I was not in loco anyone’s parentis. The pool was clearly marked regarding diving, as well as the need for adult supervision. If the parent or adults in charge didn’t see fit to supervise, why should I? On the other hand, the “what ifs” in this situation are pretty darn powerful. In the time that I spent wiping the nervous sweat from my brow, scanning the pool deck for a backboard and making sure my phone was ready to dial 911, I could have said, “Girls, the pool is too shallow for diving. Please follow the rules.” Some friends felt that the awkwardness of stepping into someone else’s business was worth the risk. They insisted the potential to stop a catastrophe should be a priority over any personal discomfort one might feel. Later that evening, I saw the same group of girls crossing the parking lot on their way out. They were dressed up and looked as if they might be going out for dinner. This time, there was an adult with them. All had apparently made it through unscathed. Thankfully, this time the odds were in their favor. As we head into the summer season and warm weather activities, this incident served as a reminder to be safe while having fun. A one-second decision can have implications for a lifetime. A gentle reminder to those who may not understand or ignore the rules may make a difference. It’s not in my nature to walk away, but for some reason this time I did. Next time, I won’t.

two locations in Michigan. They found that the greatest density of birds and bats migrating at night occurred from 300 to 500 feet above ground. That’s almost directly at hub height for the new generation of giant turbines. Birds and bats “don’t have fixed lanes up there in the sky,” said Jeff Gosse, regional energy coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Bloomington, Minn., and the report’s principal investigator. For instance, during poor weather, birds tend to fly lower. “As conditions change, they will change their altitude also. As the report indicates, many birds and bats are flying within the current rotor-swept zone.” Before we rush to build thousands of turbines taller than many skyscrapers, with blade tips that often spin in excess of 100 miles per hour, we should pause to examine what we already know about turbines’ effect on wildlife. Concerns about birds — and bats, which turbines also kill in large numbers — have not gone unnoticed. (The Department of Energy report euphemistically acknowledges the need to address “additional interactions with wildlife.”) Yet we already know what these
“interactions” are. While existing wind turbines kill hundreds of thousands of birds annually, the projections are even more sobering: Scientists have estimated that as the number of turbines increases, they could kill more than a million birds each year by 2030. There are steps we can take. Building wind turbines away from heavily traveled bird migration routes such as the Atlantic coastline or in the Great Lakes region would help to lessen fatal collisions. So would temporary shutdowns of turbines during peak migration periods. Developing renewable energy sources is important. But our policies treat birds and other wildlife as collateral damage in that quest. As the wind industry prepares to take turbines to new heights, the death toll for birds will only intensify. Science tells us our current approach to wind development is killing hundreds of thousands of birds each year. The good news is that we also have the tools to do better.

FDA expected to phase out trans fats in food supply HERSHEY — Saturated or unsaturated? Mono or poly? Good or bad? Figuring out fats can leave you frazzled, but there soon may be one less fat to keep straight. As early as this month, the Food and Drug Administration is expected to take action to phase out the remaining trans fat in the nation’s food supply. Unlike mono and poly unsaturated fats, which are liquid at room temperature, or saturated fats, which occur naturally in animal products such as butter and meat, trans fat is man-made by adding a hydrogen atom to oil and changing its molecular structure. “It originally came about due to the need to find an alternative to saturated fat and it quickly became a cheap and inexpensive way to add fat to foods and make them shelf-stable,� said Taryn Millette, a registered dietitian at Penn State Hershey Medical Center. Crisco may have been the original post-
er product for trans fat, but now, it can be found in everything from donuts to prepackaged cookie dough to boxed macaroni and cheese to microwave popcorn. “If it’s easy to make and it’s a convenience food, it may have some trans fat in it,� Millette says. In 2006, the FDA required grocery manufacturers to label trans fat on all foods that contain half a gram or more per serving. While many companies reformulated recipes, others met the mandate by changing the serving size shown on the label so the amount of trans fat per serving fell below the threshold of half a gram. That also permitted them to legally label the products “trans fat-free.� “The problem is you are often eating more than one of the servings,� Millette said. She teaches her patients to read ingredient lists on the labels instead, and steer clear of any products that include partially hydrogenated oil of any kind. “From a public health perspective, we
Medical center offering cord blood donation program STATE COLLEGE — Mount Nittany Medical Center now offers a cord blood donation program through the Dan Berger Cord Blood Program. Cord blood is the blood that is left from the umbilical cord after a woman gives birth. Rich in stem cells, this cord blood — along with blood from the placenta — can be collected and stored to help save lives. Instead of having the blood discarded after a baby’s birth, families may choose to have this blood collected and placed into a public bank, where doctors may use it in the future to help treat those with serious, life-threatening diseases. Another option is to have the cord blood stored privately for the donating family. Cord blood is used to help treat cancers such as leukemia or lymphoma, lifethreatening blood disorders and more. Additionally, cord blood is used regularly for research purposes. One of the biggest benefits of cord blood is the fact that it does not have to be a direct match with the recipient’s tissue type. There is no cost to donate to a public bank, but private storage requires a fee. “We are literally saving lives with this new program,� said Linda Solano, program coordinator for Mount Nittany Medical Center. “After a baby is born, the blood from the umbilical cord is no longer needed. Rather than discarding the blood, this blood can be stored and used to help save lives.� Dr. Jennifer Gilbert, of Mount Nittany Health, was actually the first mother to donate her cord blood at Mount Nittany Medical Center after the birth of her son Max. “I’ve previously worked on labor and
know it is not healthy to eat large amounts of trans fat,� Millette said. “A lot of countries — and some states — have taken steps to eliminate or reduce trans fat already.� Research has shown that trans fat increases bad cholesterol (LDL) levels and lowers levels of the good cholesterol (HDL) in the body. That can lead to a number of problems, such as hardening of the arteries, heart attack, heart disease and stroke. Yet controversy lies around where to draw the line between a consumer’s right to choose his or her food and the government’s right to limit what is sold. Millette said strong research has proved the adverse effects of trans fat on all people, regardless of age or health status. The FDA’s anticipated action will remove trans fat from a category of foods known as “Generally Recognized As Safe� and place it in the category of food additive, which could open manufacturers up to liabilities if they don’t find an alternative.

WHEN CHOOSING FOODS, consumers should try to avoid trans fats. “Most of the food industry knows it’s bad for our health and they are trying to phase it out,� Millette said. “This is a good step because it will help a lot of people in the long run.�

MOUNT NITTANY MEDICAL CENTER is now offering a program where cord blood can be collected following the birth of a child. delivery units and I’ve seen firsthand how impactful cord blood can be, especially to a young child facing a disease like leukemia,� said Gilbert. “It was an easy decision for me to make, especially since my baby nor I no longer need it, and it has the ability to make another child or family healthy again.� Gilbert said the process of registering as a donor is quite easy, only taking a few moments to fill out an online or physical form. “I’m excited to see this program take off, and I’m happy that I was able to be the first donor. I would like to think that if my child needed help, there would be a family out there who is generous enough to donate,� she said.

Try a variety of sunscreens to find the one that suits you best By LASHELLE KUHLMAN Special to the Gazette
STATE COLLEGE — Summer is right around the corner, so this is the perfect time of year to start thinking about restocking your sunscreen supply. Sun exposure can increase your risks of skin cancer, so it’s extremely important to use sunscreen, whether in direct sun or hanging out on a cloudy day. There are many available sunscreen products from which to choose. My advice is to find a sunscreen that is broad spectrum, meaning that it protects against UVA and UVB rays. The sunlight that reaches us is made up of two types of harmful rays: long waves (UVA) and short waves (UVB). Basically, UVA rays can age us, and UVB rays can burn us. It’s also best to choose a sunscreen that is water-resistant, because many summer activities revolve around water and, of
course, sweating. All labels are different on sunscreens, but generally it should be reapplied every two hours. With many different sunscreens available, the most common question pertains to what kind of sunscreen should be used. Many people believe that the higher the SPF, the better, but what type protects the best? The higher the SPF ratings are, the more UVB rays are blocked, but none offers 100 percent protection. While many people focus on purchasing sunscreen with higher SPF numbers, experts have proven that SPF 15 sunscreen provides all the sun protection human skin requires. I always recommend at least an SPF 30, but, again, what is important is that the sunscreen is water-resistant and works across a broad spectrum. Lashelle Kuhlman is a licensed aesthetician for reconstructive and cosmetic surgery at the Mount Nittany Physician Group.

Museum debuts new home, school exhibits By SAM STITZER
pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
AARONSBURG — The Penns Valley Historical Museum, located in Aaronsburg, has acquired new exhibits for the 2015 summer season that focus on home and school more than 100 years ago. The first exhibit is focused on antique kitchen items, and features an icebox once used by the Millheim Hotel from the days when “the iceman cometh,” delivering blocks of ice to homes and businesses in the area. Its 4-foot-tall wooden cabinet contains an ice block chamber with a drain system to remove water from the melting ice, and several shelves to hold food and beverages. The icebox’s 3-inch-thick walls provide insulation to slow the melting. The icebox was donated by local historian Vonnie Henninger. Her husband’s family once operated the Millheim Hotel and lived in the building. Also featured is a display of vintage china, trays and jars, as well as kitchen tools, including a hand-operated cherry seeder, a coffee grinder and an apple peeler. “This peeler is dated 1878, and we still use it,” said museum collections chairman Kay Gray, referring to the museum board’s annual sale of about 1,500 homemade apple dumplings during the Dutch Fall Festival in Aaronsburg. A related exhibit on the museum’s second floor features kitchen toys for girls from a century ago. Included are a scaled-
down wooden cabinet with diminutive china, muffin pan and rolling pin. A miniature cast iron cook stove and oven sits on a table along with cast iron pots, frying pans, cake pans and a clothes iron. A tea party scene features dolls sitting in chairs at a table with a teapot, cups and saucers; doll-sized high chairs are located nearby. Another new exhibit shows artifacts from several schools once located in Haines Township, following the “Two Mile” school plan of the mid- to late1800s, which placed schools every 2 miles so no child had to walk more than a mile to school. Student desks, a teacher’s desk, photos, diplomas and textbooks, some dating back as far as 1828, are on display. Gray noted that the school books are sometimes useful for people researching their genealogy. “I keep the ones that have names in them, and where they went to school,” she said. Also included in the exhibit are some teachers’ monthly reports, which include class rosters, attendance records and records of teachers’ pay. One teacher in 1898 recorded his $29-per-month salary in his report, and another in 1915 reported a $40-per-month salary. Gray said the Haines Township schools exhibit is the last of a series of exhibits from schools in townships in the Penns Valley area. Previous exhibits featured artifacts from Potter, Gregg, Miles and Penn townships. “This is the last one, because we’re
down at the low end of the valley,” said Gray. The Penns Valley Historical Museum is located at 244 W. Aaron Square in Aarons-
burg. It is open Saturdays from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., and other times by appointment. Call (814) 349-4811 for more information.

This open house will provide residents an opportunity to learn more about the redevelopment plan process, and to share ideas on the community goals for this project. State College Borough currently is considering redevelopment opportunities for the block, which has been envisioned by the borough’s downtown plans as a civic and community hub. Previous efforts to relocate the State College Municipal Building and build the Schlow Centre Region Library have been major steps toward the realization of this vision. The borough will now consider opportunities to expand this hub through a redevelopment planning study, which is under way. In early 2015, many community entities approached the borough with requests to use or redevelop the former Verizon Building, located at 224 S. Allen St., which is

Class of 2015 Senior Profiles SAMANTHA BASTRESS PENNS VALLEY AREA HIGH SCHOOL Centre County Gazette: What are you most looking forward to about graduating from high school? Samantha Bastress: I am most looking forward to learning how to manage my own time, and using my time to learn valuable skills before attending college this year. I am also looking forward to having the opportunity to gain more work experience, and applying the skills I learned in high school to my everyday life. I am excited about the independence that I will have in college. Gazette: Pick out a memorable event from high school. Why was it so memorable? Bastress: My most memorable event from high school was the state competition for Academic Decathlon this year. The Penns Valley team won third place overall for the state, and first overall in the small school division. This is highest accomplishment an Academic Decathlon team from Penns Valley has ever achieved. Our scores also secured us a spot in the nationals online competition, where I won a gold medal in literature. Another memorable moment worth mentioning was the homecoming game this year. I was a member of both the marching band and the homecoming court, so I marched the halftime field show in a dress. I was able to participate in a wide variety of extracurricular activities throughout my high school career, making my time at Penns Valley both incredibly fun and memorable. Gazette: What are your plans after graduation? Bastress: My plans after graduation include working full time over the summer, and going to college. After earning a bachelor’s degree, I hope to work in the Boston area as a journalist. I also plan to travel as much as possible, and I hope to learn another language while in school. Although I don’t plan to major in creative writing, I would like to write screenplays or other fictional works in my spare time. Gazette: Where are you going to college? Bastress: I will be attending Boston University next year.
KENZIE BURGE PHILIPSBURG-OSCEOLA HIGH SCHOOL Centre County Gazette: What are you most looking forward to about graduating from high school? Kenzie Burge: After high school graduation, I am looking forward to meeting new people in college and starting the next chapter of my life. Gazette: Pick out a memorable event from high school. Why was it so memorable? Burge: The first event that sticks out in my mind was winning the 2013 District 6 volleyball championship. We had such a special team that year, and it’s very memorable to me because I remember the camaraderie, the fire we had to win, and the loyalty we had to each other. The bond that that team carried could never be broken, and when we came together on the court there were few that could stop us. It was just such a fun ride and a season I could never forget, and when we finally achieved our goal of district champions it was just icing on the cake. Gazette: What are your plans after graduation? Burge: After graduation, I plan to attend college and receive a bachelor of science degree, then, after college, attend medical school. Gazette: What is your area of interest? Burge: Biochemistry. Gazette: Where are you going to college? Burge: Saint Francis University. Gazette: Where do you see yourself in five years? In 10 years? Burge: In five years, I hope to have graduated from college and be in my first year of medical school. In 10 years, I hope to have graduated from medical school and have started my residencies and be pursuing my career. Gazette: If you know what career or field you want to go into, which one? Why?
Gazette: Where do you see yourself in five years? In 10 years? Bastress: In five years, I see myself working for a small newspaper or magazine in Boston. In 10 years, I hope to have established myself as a respected journalist, working for a major SAMANTHA news source such as BASTRESS the Boston Globe. I can see myself writing about global and political news, and the arts. Gazette: If you know what career or field you want to go into, which one? Why? Bastress: I want to become a journalist. I have always wanted to be a writer, and I also love learning about world cultures and current events. I want to share my passion for the world with others, and journalism is one of the best ways to achieve this goal. Gazette: How has your high school education and experience helped prepare you for the next step in life? What are some characteristics of your high school career that are especially important or valuable to you? Why? Bastress: Penns Valley has prepared me for the future in a way that no other school could. Because our classes are smaller than most, students at Penns Valley are able to receive truly individual attention from teachers. This has helped me grow as a student and become more confident both academically and as a person. Confidence will be key in the coming years for me, especially while interacting with a much, much larger group of peers in college. I was also able to become involved with many different and diverse extracurricular activities at Penns Valley. I have a better understanding now of where my true interests lie, and I can plan my activities in college around a more informed idea of what I do and don’t like. Gazette: Is there anything else Gazette readers should know about you? Bastress: I will be spending a semester abroad in London next summer through Boston University. — Chris Morelli
Burge: The career I plan to pursue is that of a trauma surgeon. All my life I have been interested in emergency medicine and I have always been someone who wants to help people in their time of need. I chose this career because in this position, KENZIE BURGE the patient’s life is in my hands and I want them and their family to be able to trust in me and my work and be confident that the patient will make a full recovery under my care. Gazette: How has your high school education and experience helped prepare you for the next step in life? What are some characteristics of your high school career that are especially important or valuable to you? Why? Burge: High school helped me prepare for my future in many ways. Throughout high school I was given the opportunity to take many AP and honors courses, and with these I was able to ready myself for the rigor of college courses before I stepped foot on campus. Along with my education, high school sports were very valuable to me. High school sports taught me many life lessons in only four years. Sports gave me a strong work ethic, taught me to never give up, and to keep pushing until I reached my goals. They also taught me the importance of working as a team and being able to trust in my fellow teammates. Gazette: Is there anything else Gazette readers should know about you? Burge: I will be graduating third in my class out of 120 students and finishing with a 4.0 GPA. — Chris Morelli

BRANDON GETTIG BALD EAGLE AREA HIGH SCHOOL Centre County Gazette: What are you most looking forward to about graduating from high school? Brandon Gettig: I am looking forward to meeting new people and having experiences that I never had in high school. I’m also excited to begin playing baseball at Penn State DuBois. Gazette: Pick out a memorable event from high school. Why was it so memorable? Gettig: My favorite memory was when I was 15 — our teener league baseball team won the VFW Teener League State Championship. It was memorable because I stayed with some of the other players on the team at a local campground, and we had a ton of fun, even when we weren’t playing baseball. Gazette: What are your plans after graduation? Gettig: I plan on going to college to further my education. I am going to Penn State DuBois and am really excited to begin my time there. Gazette: What is your area of interest? Gettig: I would like to stay involved in sports throughout my career, whether it’s in management, coaching or anything along those lines.

Gazette: How has your high school education and experience helped prepare you for the next step in life? What are some characteristics of your high school career that are especially important or valuable to you? Why? Gettig: Throughout high school, I have learned how important my faith and relationship with God are. I know that in my next step in life, I won’t always have my family right with me like in high school, but I can count on God to be watching over me. There will be people that think I’m crazy for what I believe, but in the end it is all worth it. Gazette: Is there anything else Gazette readers should know about you? Gettig: I’m not confident because I’m perfect. I’m confident because I trust in the one who is. — Chris Morelli

STATE COLLEGE — More than 170,000 seedlings were distributed to students across Pennsylvania this spring through the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s “Seedlings for Schools” program. By participating in the program, students receive instruction from teachers on trees and their impact on wildlife habitat and gain valuable handson experience planting seedlings and observing their development. Since the program’s inception in 2008, more than 1 million seedlings have been dispersed from the commission’s Howard Nursery in Centre County. This year, 838 schools received shipments, nearly tripling growth from the program’s first year. In total, 174,525 were distributed, with nearly all shipped from the nursery. Enrollment in “Seedlings for Schools” is open to all schools, grades PreK through 12, in Pennsylvania. Any teacher can request seedlings and educational packets at no cost. Orders are generally taken in late February and early March with seedlings typically delivered by the end of April. The Wildlife For Everyone Endowment Foundation covers all shipping and handling costs for the program. This year, generous donations from Mealey’s Furniture Holdings Inc., the Pennsylvania Forestry Association Jim Stiehler Memorial Fund and Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation helped offset a portion of the cost. “There is no charge to schools participating in this program,” said Wildlife For Everyone Endowment Foundation executive director Vern Ross. “We cherish the opportunity to enhance educational opportunities involving wildlife habitat for teachers and students in Pennsylvania.” Most of the seedlings were sent as part of the “Seedlings for Your Class” component of the program aimed primarily at younger students. Each class or grade level received enough silky dogwood or white pine seedlings for each student to take one home. For older students, “Seedlings to Develop Habitats” provides a variety of seedlings to plant on school or community grounds to improve habitat or create an environmental area. In both components of the program, teachers receive an education package to help create lesson plans and supplement the hands-on experience for students. “The Wildlife For Everyone Endowment Foundation has been instrumental in the program’s success,” said Pennsylvania Game Commission executive director Matt Hough. “We are very appreciative of the foundation’s continued commitment to education, wildlife and its habitat.”

THE JAY VONADA QUARTET performed at the Green Drake Gallery in Millheim during a CD release party on June 6.
Local musician releases fifth jazz trombone CD By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
MILLHEIM — Jay Vonada grew up in Aaronsburg, first playing trombone in the sixth grade. He played throughout his years in the Penns Valley High School Band, graduating in 1993. Now, he is a professional jazz trombonist, and has just released his fifth CD, “Expressions.” “Expressions” features the Jay Vonada Quartet, consisting of Vonada on trombone, Bob Hart on bass, Mac Hines on guitar and Kevin Lowe on drums, playing eight tracks of original jazz compositions written by Vonada. Vonada said he is essentially a one-man production company for his albums. They are self-produced, and his only professional assistance comes from Dave Villani, of Data Music Services Company in Altoona, where the albums are recorded and mixed. On June 6, about 30 people gathered at the Green Drake Gallery in Millheim for a CD release party, where Vonada and his
quartet performed several songs from the new album. “Expressions” has already received a favorable critical review. “From start to finish this latest release from Jay Vonada, entitled ‘Expressions,’ is a fully loaded, powerful, inspirational, uplifting and impressive catalog of music any way you slice it,” said Cyrus Rhodes, of Philadelphia’s Gashouseradio.com. “The music is very consistent, well-crafted and extremely entertaining. Note for note, song for song, there isn’t really a weak piece on this entire catalog. … The enticing melodies and harmonies are well-crafted and the lyrical content is packed to the hilt with rich conventional wisdom and a strong spiritual connection many will gravitate to. “Perhaps a guy like Vonada is a bit beyond all this at his point in his amazing musical career. Whatever the case, Jay Vonada is truly a great artist in a world full of soulless musical clutter.” Copies of “Expressions” are available by calling (814) 308-3699 or emailing jvtrombone@verizon.net.

Original Italian Pizza celebrates its 20-year anniversary By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
MILLHEIM — In 1991, Vinnie Castiglia emigrated from Palermo, Italy, and settled in Mifflinburg, in Union County. In 1995, he purchased a shop in Millheim and it became the Original Italian Pizza Shop. On Thursday, June 18, the shop, located at 105 W. Main St. in Millheim, will celebrate its 20th year of operation. Castiglia and his wife, Nadia, run the restaurant, along with two employees. “This is a family business,” said Castiglia. The Castiglias and their employees prepare and serve a bevy of pizza and pasta dishes, including full meals, using recipes he brought with him from Palermo. Castiglia said that most of his customers are from the Millheim and the eastern Penns Valley area, including significant business he receives from the Woodward Sports and Gymnastics Camp. He has many regular customers who patronize the shop on a weekly basis. Castiglia said he likes to meet new people. “When we have fishing season, we see new people; when we have camp (Woodward) we see new people, and in hunting season, we see new people,” he said. He attributes his success to his dedication to his business. “Everything I do, I do it with my heart,” he said. He also owns a second Original Italian Pizza Shop in Turbotville. Original Italian Pizza does not deliver food to customers.

VINNIE CASTIGLIA, his wife, Nadia, and employee Kasey Bowes serve customers at the Original Italian Pizza Shop in Millheim.
“We don’t deliver because I want to see my customers coming in and see who’s bringing food to my kids’ table,” said Castiglia. “If we deliver to your house, you’re never going to see me — you’ll just see a delivery driver.” Castiglia said they do make exceptions for Amish customers. Castiglia hopes the future sees his children, Sal, Rosanna and Joe, running the family business. He said his kids love living in Millheim. “They want to stay in this area. I tried to move a couple times, but they don’t want to move.” Castiglia hopes to continue serving customers in Millheim for years to come. “If you’ve been here for 20 years, you have to be doing something good,” he said.

HALIFAX — Nearly 50 Girl Scouts gathered together for a powerful overnight that taught girls how to build themselves up to breakdown bullying at aMAZE, Girl Scout in the Heart of Pennsylvania’s anti-bullying program held on May 2 and 3 at Camp Small Valley in Halifax. With six out of 10 teens witnessing bullying at least once a day, aMAZE is more than just an overnight program. “Bullying is a huge issue within young girls across Pennsylvania and it needs to be addressed and stopped,” said GSHPA’s program manager Kelsey Evans. “Throughout aMAZE, girls will learn the importance of self-worth, build self-confidence and gain the tools needed to navigate bullying within their lives.” Girl Scouts gained these tools by completing three activities that took them out of their comfort zones to discover how amazing they are. The Girl Scouts gathered up the courage to trek across a high ropes course set 55 feet up in the treetops. “I’m glad I didn’t back out of the high ropes course,” said Anna Hunziker, 14, of Bellefonte, about her first thoughts once she was back on ground level. Girls also developed communication and teamwork skills as they steered themselves through a low ropes course. In the final activity, girls wrote down negative words and feelings on a wooden board. The girls were challenged to break through the boards to remove the power of namecalling and then make a list of positive traits they see in themselves. “I felt accomplished when I broke through my board. It said ‘You’re not good enough,” said Amelia Kasdorf, 13, of Bellefonte. “The most successful part of the program is allowing girls to see their potential and understand they have the power to make a change in the world, both big and small,” said Evans. The biannual aMAZE program is based on Girl Scouts in the USA’s Journeys curriculum, created to build leadership skills in Girl Scouts. Girl Scouts are encouraged to discover the world around them, connect with others to solve conflicts and take action to make the world a better place. The next aMAZE overnight will be held in the fall. Girls, parents and volunteers can find more information by visiting www.gshpa.org or calling (800) 692-7816.

Family Matters
Keep young children hydrated during warm weather Parents often wonder how to maintain their kids’ health. One important step that may be overlooked is to ensure that young children are properly hydrated. It can also be a challenge for parents to create a menu kids will enjoy that meets the recommended daily value of vitamins and nutrients. “By including U.S. Department of Agriculture-certified organic fruits and vegetables in your children’s diets, you can help ensure your child is staying hydrated from the water in them, while also consuming the necessary vitamins, minerals and protein that they need to grow healthy
and strong,” said Dr. Deena Blanchard, pediatrician at Premier Pediatrics in New York City. “Nutritional shakes provide proteins, vitamins and minerals, the necessary building blocks of a healthy immune system, to supplement kids’ daily diets for complete nutrition; and electrolyte waters with naturally-occurring electrolytes can also help keep kids hydrated.” Blanchard recommends the following tips to help parents make good choices for their children. ■ Hydrate children, especially when sick.
When children are sick, the importance of proper hydration cannot be overestimated. If eating or drinking is difficult, try giving your child smaller amounts, more frequently. Choose water, 100 percent juice or drinks that contain naturally occurring electrolytes and other components that help support kids’ immune systems. ■ Choose wisely. Watch out for artificial flavors, colors and preservatives, as well as the amount of added sugars in sports drinks and other beverages. It is important to provide kids with beverages that are free of artificial ingredients and contain fruits and vegetables. ■ Don’t forget to hydrate when playing sports. Kids can become dehydrated while playing sports or engaging in other physi-
cal activity. At the ballpark or playground, it is important to keep drinks on hand. Good choices include organic fruit and veggie purees, which contribute significant water and naturally occurring electrolytes for natural rehydration to the diet. ■ Supplement. Though vital to proper growth and development, meeting the recommended daily intake of vitamins and nutrients can be tough, especially for little ones who are picky eaters. A tasty, protein-packed nutritional shake can help parents ensure kids get the calories and nutrition they need. In the warmer months, proper hydration is especially crucial for healthy. Parents should seek out choices for kids that support a healthy immune system.

Howard topples Spring Mills in County League clash By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com
SPRING MILLS — Usually a trip to Spring Mills is not exactly the ideal solution for a County League team looking to get healthy. Yet at least for one day, it was for the Howard Hawks. By their own admission, the Hawks hadn’t been playing well, and the June 7 game at the Braves was a chance to turn things around. Thanks to a compelling pitching performance by Tyler Sunday and an aggressive 12-hit attack, that’s exactly what Howard did in a well-executed 6-1 victory over the Braves. Sunday pitched a complete-game, fourhitter while five players contributed with at least two hits each in the win. Howard built an early four-run lead and then closed things out with two more in the seventh inning, including a long home run over the right field wall by Dan Cole. “Yeah, we didn’t fare so well last game,” Howard coach Jim Gardner said, “but I think we are starting to figure the wooden bats out in our approach. Tyler (Sunday) set the tone for us. It’s real important for the starting pitcher to do that, and he pitched a real nice game for us. He hung tough there throughout the game and got us the win.” Howard opened the game with two runs in the first inning. Scott Zuback and Clay Smith led of the game with singles, and then Travis Price reached on a fielder’s choice. Zuback and Price both scored, one on an RBI hit by Ty
Wormer and the other after a Brave error, to make the score 2-0. The Hawks made it 3-0 on an RBI double by Smith in the second inning, and then Ty Wormer drove in Howard’s fourth run with a single in the fourth. All the while, Sunday was blanking the Braves on one hit through four innings, although he did walk two batters and hit another one with a pitch. “After a bad outing,” Sunday said, “the best thing you can do is bounce back with a good one. My slider wasn’t biting as much as I’d like so I just kind of picked my corners. My two-seam breaks a lot and I threw a lot of two-seams. I’d like to be (pitching) a little better right now, but I’m getting there.” Spring Mills got a run back in the fifth after a single by Joe Bartolai, a walk, another hit batter and a fielders-choice grounder to make it 4-1. Then in the sixth, the Braves seriously threatened to climb back into the game after putting runners on second and third base with one out, but a stellar defensive play helped Sunday out of another jam. After Mike Vogt singled to open the inning, Logan Marcum walked. Jorden Brennan then sacrificed both runners up, putting two runners in scoring position in a 4-1 game. Bartolai followed with what looked like an easy run on a sacrifice fly to center field, but Hawk center fielder Kyle Wormer threw a strike to catcher Zuback, easily getting Vogt and ending the threat. “That was huge,” Gardner said. “They had the potential for a big inning there, and that was a great play.
TIM WEIGHT/For the Gazette
HOWARD’S TYLER SUNDAY delivers a pitch during the June 7 game with Spring Mills. Behind a solid performance from Sunday, the Hawks won, 6-1. “He (Kyle Wormer) is typically our right fielder, but our center fielder was catching, so we were a bit out of position today. They’re all good athletes, and good athletes will fill in at different places and give you good results.” Cole opened the Hawk seventh with his home run, and then after a walk to Kyle Wormer and a stolen base, another Wormer, this one Dylan, drove in Howard’s final run with a single.
In all for Howard, Zuback, Smith, Ty Wormer, and Cole all had two hits each, and Dylan Wormer was three for four with an RBI. Sunday pitched all seven, struck out six and walked five. “I think we are hitting the ball a lot better,” Sunday said. “We hit the ball pretty well today, and as a team we are fielding better and playing better. We can start winning all our ball games.”
Penn State well represented at the Women’s World Cup By BEN JONES StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — When the United States’ women’s national soccer team kicked off World Cup action against Australia, Penn State fans saw one of their own hit the field. One current and four former Penn State players will represent their respective countries this year at the World Cup, making it a heck of a advertisement for a program tucked away in central Pennsylvania. “This is obviously the biggest stage and it’s fantastic for Penn State soccer to have five players compete at the World Cup,” Penn State women’s soccer head coach Erica Walsh said. “This program has been around since 1994 and, since its inception, the university has supported it so well. It has such an incredible history and it’s great to be a part of it.” The World Cup comes only a few weeks after the massively popular soccer video game FIFA15 announced that its latest edition will feature several international women’s soccer teams. While that may not seem like a big deal, it’s something Walsh is pretty excited about. “I think it’s a huge deal,” Walsh said. “That opens up a whole different world of fans and support and knowledge of the players. Even if it just starts out with women’s soccer players playing it, I think that world is huge and that it’ll expose us to a different group of people.” So who can Penn State fans root for over the next month? Here are the four players Nittany Lion connections you can keep an eye on. ■ Ali Krieger ‘06, United States, defender. From an American standpoint, Krieger is the most visible player of the five. The United States’ starting right back, Krieger has been a member of the Women’s National Team since 2008.
While Krieger has been a staple of the United States defense for years, she is perhaps best known for sending the U.S. through to the 2011 World Cup semifinal by booting a penalty kick against Brazil. ■ Alyssa Naeher ‘09, United States, goalkeeper. Naeher probably won’t see the field with world-class Hope Solo anchoring the net for the U.S., but that doesn’t means Naeher lacks the credentials. Helping lead the U.S. U-20 women’s national team to a 2008 FIFA Women’s World Cup, she won the Golden Glove as the tournament’s best goalkeeper. Naeher, the 2014 NWSL Goalkeeper of the Year, is in her sixth professional season. Something bad will have happened if Naeher plays a minute of the tournament, but if she does, the U.S. will still be in able hands. ■ Carmlina Moscato ‘05, Canada, defender. Moscato has been a member of the Canadian national program since 2000 and her 2012 bronze medal with Team Canada at the London Olympics marked the first medal won by a Penn State women’s soccer player. She became the 18th female to make her 75th appearance for Canada on April 4, 2013, racking up 91 caps (the soccer term for starts) since 2002. During her four-year Penn State career, Moscato recorded 40 points and started 45 of her final 46 games. ■ Erin McLeod ‘05, Canada, goalkeeper. If any goalkeeper in this World Cup is going to give Hope Solo a run for the best in the tournament, it’s McLeod. She has started in net at three World Cups and two Olympic Games, winning the 2012 London Olympics bronze medal. In each of her two seasons with Penn State, McLeod captured NSCAA All-America and first team All-Big Ten honors, finishing her career with a 0.64 goals against average, a program best. McLeod’s World Cup has already gotten

FORMER PENN STATE standout Ali Krieger will represent the United States during this year’s Women’s World Cup. She is one of several Penn Staters who made the cut. off to a good start with a 1-0 victory over China in the World Cup’s opening game. If the host country is going to make it far in this competition, McLeod will be a big part of that success. ■ Raquel Rodriguez ‘15, Costa Rica, midfielder. Still playing at Penn State and slated to be a team captain in the upcoming season, Rodriguez was named a 2014 CONCACAF Female Player of the Year nominee, the
only amateur player nominated for a player of the year award. Rodriguez is the 2014 Big Ten Midfielder of the Year, a National Soccer Coaches Association of America Scholar All-America pick, NSCAA All-Great Lakes Region first team member and Academic All-Big Ten honoree. Rodriguez posted 17 points in 18 games played during the Nittany Lions’ 2014 season.

Local baseball, softball squads had memorable seasons We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow the 2015 softball and baseball seasons to slip into the books without a few more words about some of our local teams. In softball, as usual, PhilipsburgOsceola and Bald Eagle Area both fielded excellent teams. Unfortunately, this season both came up just short of the expectations they had for themselves. Yet there is no denying that both were among the class teams in District 6. As the District 6 tournament took shape, Marion Center was undefeated in the regular season and was awarded the No. 1 seed. That was probably deserved, but it relegated P-O and BEA to the No. 2 and 3 spots. Consequently, only one of them could advance past the district level, and a rerun of last Pat Rothdeutsch is seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PIAA semi-final matchup was a sports writer for impossible. The Centre County It all became moot, of course, when Gazette. Email him both the Mounties and Eagles lost at sports@ close games to a very hot No. 11 seed centrecounty Central, but those losses should subgazette.com tract little from the exceptional seasons turned in by both teams. Central, by the way, more than proved it belonged by taking out Marion Center in the D-6 final and then beating District 7, No. 3 seed Seton LaSalle in the first round of the state tournament. The Lady Dragons eventually lost to Cambridge Springs on June 4 in the quarterfinals, but the Mountain League was again well represented. State College and Bellefonte also had fine seasons. The Lady Little Lions finished with a 13-9 record, but they lost, 6-1, to Mifflin County in the district semi-finals. Mifflin went on to win the D-6 championship, but it lost to Cumberland Valley in the first round of the PIAA tournament. State College was up and down early in the season, but it played very well down the stretch in the Mid-Penn Conference. The Lady Red Raiders finished 10-8 in the regular season and entered the D-6 tournament as the No. 4 seed. The Raiders then proceeded to knock off No. 1 Somerset, 6-1, and advanced to the final against Bellewood-Antis. Bellewood won that game, 5-1, but Bellefonte more than proved that it belonged.

THE STATE COLLEGE Area High School baseball team won the District 6 Class AAAA title, but lost to Shaler in the PIAA state playoffs. that could have played in the A bracket but jumped up to AAA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; advanced all the way to the state quarterfinals before losing. In baseball, State College and Bellefonte had the most post-season success. The Little Lions had another strong run, winning the District 6 championship for the third year in a row and then advancing to the state quarterfinals. Unfortunately, their run came to an end at the hands of Shaler Area, 8-5, on June 4 at Homer City. State High made some uncharacteristic fielding miscues that allowed Shaler to forge ahead and then could not make up the deficit. In a game this important, it was too bad that both of these teams, because scheduling and a very long first game, had to play quite late at night and under the lights â&#x20AC;&#x201D; probably
for the first time all season. Still, fashioning a 19-win season with a team that began with many question marks was an exceptional accomplishment for the Little Lions, and after the sting of the Shaler loss eases, coach Bill Tussey and his team will be proud of what they accomplished. Playing in AAA, Bellefonte also took home a District 6 championship and advanced to the state tournament by beating No. 4 seed Huntingdon and No. 2 seed Somerset in the D-6 finals. The Red Raiders then met up with the speed demons from West Allegheny in the PIAA first round on June 1 at Philipsburg-Osceola High School. West Allegheny won the game, 8-1, but Bellefonte showed off a ton of young talent and will certainly be a force again next season.
With Ball headed to Florida State, State Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season comes to a close Fries the new focus on recruiting trail By BEN JONES StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The afternoon of June 5 brought a little bad news to those who follow Nittany Lion football recruiting. Offensive tackle prospect Josh Ball opted to sign with Florida State over several schools, including Penn State. As James Franklin and his staff continue on the recruiting trail for the 2016 class, the focus on offensive linemen has been an obvious one. Three of the eight prospects to verbally commit to Penn State will play on the offensive front. Exeter product Michal Menet is one of the rare offensive linemen who can legitimately headline a recruiting class. Coupled with Alex Gellerstedt and Connor McGovern,

Menet and group are bringing size to the offense. So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next? According to Greg Pickel, of PennLive, another big body is on the radar for Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recruiting efforts, this time in the shape of Cranford, N.J., native Will Fries. The 6-foot6, 270-pound prospect has a diverse skill set. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Will Fries is a top target because, like Reading, Pa., Exeter four-star and Penn State pledge Michal Menet, his film and frame make college coaches believe he could be a guard or tackle,â&#x20AC;? Pickel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;James Franklin and his staff have keyed in on linemen that can play anywhere, and Fries fits that mold. If Penn State can land him, the program will be one step closer to establishing a starting offensive line, and depth, for years to come.â&#x20AC;? Landing Fries means beating out Rutgers, Clemson and Michigan, which is far from an impossible task. If Franklin can sign Fries it will add a valuable asset to a growing stockpile of linemen. The ability to play multiple positions makes him even more valuable in case of injury. For the big picture, it allows Penn State to continue to create a cycle of development for linemen, keeping them off the field until they are ready, but not sacrificing present success for the sake of the future. So far, Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2016 recruiting class has been as hot and successful in the early going as the nationally recognized 2015 haul. As in all things recruiting, it is a long process with many ups and downs. Picking up Fries would be a big step for the program, now and years down the road.

STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; State Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season came to an end on June 4 as the Little Lions failed to overcome a flurry of runs in the fourth inning, falling to Shaler 8-5 in the PIAA State Quarterfinals. Caleb Walls made the most of an early inning opportunity getting his eighth hit in 13 plate appearances with a one-out single in the bottom of the first inning. Walls would steal second and advance to third, but the Little Lions couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t knock home the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first run. Shaler didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste time in the top of the second inning, with a leadoff single and a stolen base that would put a runner in scoring position. An Anthony Venizia triple opened the scoring for the night and it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for Andrew Mueller to send Venizia home with a single of his own to open a 2-0 margin. State College responded quickly in the third, rattling off four runs on three hits with 10 men batting in the inning to seemingly blow open the game at 4-2, with the Little Lions carrying all of the momentum. Tucker Trieboldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead off hit started the rally with a Samuel Plafcan hit and run bringing in more to help build the lead. The offensive explosion didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop there. Shaler responded with a burst of its own, knocking in four runs to take a 6-4 lead. Both teams played solid defense all night but made the most of opportunities behind sharp baserunning and timely hitting. Shaler added another run in the top of the fifth inning to make it a 7-4 margin and put the Little Lions on the ropes. State College did its best to even the score, loading the bases in the bottom of the sixth inning with two outs, but the Little Lions couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t capitalize on the opportunity to tie the game. The Little Lions managed to get men on base in the bottom of the seventh and score a single run, but a fly ball to center field finished off State Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season. State College ends the year with a 19-6 mark.

PENN STATE head coach James Franklin and the rest of Nittany Nation had plenty to shout about when they found out Penn State would get a full share of the Big Ten’s 2014-15 bowl revenue.
Big Ten vote puts early end to PSU’s revenue ban By BEN JONES
money is used to support student-athletes and our programs, and some things have been delayed due to the ban. Obviously, it is much needed and welcome. I thank my fellow presidents.” Prior to the news, Penn State had been under a four-year ban on bowl revenues put in place by the conference. In February, the council voted to end the ban early. Even so, the university was still slated to play one more season without receiving a share of the conference’s bowl revenue. Penn State is now eligible for a full share of bowl revenue, which is divided evenly among the conference’s members. During the revenue ban from 2012 to 2014, Penn State’s bowl money was split among the conference’s other schools where it was used to help local child and sexual abuse organizations.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Good news broke on June 7 for Penn State athletics as the Big Ten Council of Presidents and Chancellors announced the decision to provide a full share of 2014-15 Big Ten football bowl revenues to Penn State. The decision will result in roughly $4.5 million in unexpected funds. Penn State defeated Boston College in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl in December but has not received a bowl revenue share since the Jerry Sandusky scandal, forfeiting the 2011 revenue share voluntarily. “I am obviously very pleased to report that the council agreed to provide us with our full share of the bowl revenue,” said Penn State President Eric Barron. “This

UNIVERSITY PARK — There’s a new option for Penn State football fans who don’t want to pay for a full season ticket. The university’s athletic department announced that partial season ticket packages are on sale now. The plan features tickets to the San Diego State (Sept. 26), Indiana (Oct. 10), Illinois (Oct. 31) and Michigan (Nov. 21) games and range from $280-$630 in cost. The price depends on where the tickets are located in Beaver Stadium. To purchase a partial ticket plan, fans can visit www. psunrivaled.com, call (800) NITTANY (weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) or visit the Bryce Jordan Center ticket office (weekdays 10 a.m to 6 p.m.) Overall, this offseason has been a positive one when it comes to football ticket sales. The university said it’s sold more than 3,400 new season tickets and renewal rates are in the area of 5 percent. Bad news, though, if you want to buy single game tickets to Penn State’s season finale against Michigan — you’re out of luck. Due to increased ticket sales and massive demand during the annual Nittany Lion Club pre-sale in May, Michigan tickets will not be sold as part of the public singlegame ticket sale in early July. The only ways to secure tickets to see the Penn State White Out against the Wolverines on Nov. 21 are to purchase season tickets, the partial plan or group tickets for 20 or more people, or to be a Nittany Lion Club member. The 2015 Penn State student football season ticket sale will begin on Monday, June 22, and run through Thursday, June 25.

Penn Stater earns Emmy nomination for video UNIVERSITY PARK — Jill Jayne, known for her entertaining nutrition education program “Jump with Jill,” has received an Emmy nomination from the Michigan Chapter for the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in the Children/ Youth/Teens News Feature category. Jayne wrote, performed and produced “Get Me Goin’,” a song about the importance of eating breakfast, with a cast of students and educators in western Michigan. Known as the “Rockstar Nutritionist,” Jayne is a 2004 Penn State and Schreyer Honors College alumna. “We are really ecstatic that our nutrition education program is being recognized for excellence in entertainment,” said Jayne. “Our job with this video was to make breakfast look and sound irresistible. The ‘Get Me Goin’’ danceable music video glorifies traditionally uneventful school settings with backlighting and showcases school meals prepared from scratch on camera. From the cafeteria, to the classroom, to on-the-go, the video takes you to all the places where you can enjoy a delicious and nutritious breakfast in style.” The “Get Me Goin’” music video, filmed last year at Jenison Junior High School in Grand Rapids, Mich., featured more than 60 students who auditioned for a chance to participate. The catchy song lyrics include ideas for healthy and quick meals for “the break of a long night fast.” Isolating the sounds of the cooking compose the sound of the song; a cereal box is a maraca and fruit bowls are agogo bells that build the Latin club feel of the song. Produced by WOTV-TV, with nutrition education program sponsorship support from the Michigan Dairy Farmers and Processors and the United Dairy Industry of Michigan, the video was submitted for Emmy consideration to the Michigan Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. The regional Emmys will be awarded for several categories in a ceremony on

PENN STATE and Schreyer Honors College alumna Jill Jayne, right, and Devin Watson perform in the “Jump with Jill” danceable music video “Get Me Goin’,” which was been nominated for a regional Emmy. Saturday, June 13, in Detroit. “There is so much data showing that breakfast eaters perform better in school, have better attendance and visit the school nurse less,” Jayne said. “As such, school breakfast is federally reimbursable, just like school lunch, but the hustle of the morning has made breakfast — this essential and cost-effective meal — into an afterthought.” Billed as the world’s only “rock & roll nutrition show,” “Jump with Jill” uses music and dance to celebrate healthy habits by transforming nutrition education
into a live concert. The singable messages in the upbeat, fun presentations help make healthy habits memorable with each song focused on making a healthy behavior specific and actionable. Graduating with degrees in nutrition and theater as Jill Jayne Pakulski, Jayne landed a position as the writer and host of a nationally syndicated children’s nutrition program “What’s in the News” for PBS prior to her graduation from Penn State. She added credentials as a registered dietitian and received her master’s degree in nutrition education from Teachers College
Columbia University. Drawing from her experiences as a nationally touring musician, actress, public school teacher, Radio Disney disc jockey, model and puppeteer, Jayne launched “Jump with Jill” in 2006 in New York City. Her first CD was released in 2008 and a year later, the show completed its first national tour. To date, the interactive “Jump with Jill” show has been performed more than 2,000 times for more than half a million children across the United States, Canada and Europe.
Group’s project focuses on Penn Township farm
Comics, graphic novels to be featured at show
STATE COLLEGE — The Hodge Farm in Penn Township will be the focus of a major project by the Farmland Preservation Artists of Central Pennsylvania. The farm was donated in 2003 as an agricultural easement by the late Hugh and Barbara Hodge, State College High School teachers. It was the first easement granted to the Centre County Farmland Trust. The dominant feature on the 145-acre farm is the double-decker barn, which dates to 1832 and has been cited for its architectural detail and structure in “The Pennsylvania Barn” by Robert F. Ensminger, a retired Kutztown University geography professor. The Farmland Preservation Artists hope to exhibit their work from the Hodge Farm and produce a book, which currently has the working title “One Farm: Multiple Perspectives.” Eventually, the artists plan on documenting all of the farms that are in the Centre Country Farmland Trust. The FPA is a joint enterprise of the trust and the Art Alliance of Central Pennsylvania. The FPA promotes the preservation and appreciation of farmland through the visual arts. For more information, visit www.centrecountyfarm landtrust.org or www.farmlandpreservationartists.org.
STATE COLLEGE — Schlow Library recently announced that this year’s BookFestPA will focus entirely on comics and graphic novels.

BookFestPA features an author tent where, this year, more than a dozen comic book writers and illustrators will showcase the graphic novels, illustrations, trading cards and other products that have made them successful. Community members are invited to meet local and regional authors and learn more about their inspiring paths to publishing. The tent will also include tabletop games, a caricature artist and a costume contest. In addition to the author tent, BookFest will feature two interactive presentations. At 11 a.m., comic book historian, blogger, artist and Penn State alumnus Collin Closher will present “The History of Batman.” At 2 p.m., a panel of industry insiders will discuss “The Art and Industry of Sequential Storytelling.” The panel will include Dave DeVries, Robert Hack, Jay Hosler, Alitha Martinez, Joel Priddy and Chris Ring and will be moderated by Penn State’s John Meier.

Arts festival to feature local professor’s sculptures PITTSBURGH — “Black Rock Negative Energy Absorber,” an installation by Penn State assistant professor of art Rudy Shepherd, is on display at Pittsburgh’s Dollar Bank Three Rivers Arts Festival through Sunday, June 14. According to CBS Pittsburgh’s recent feature story of the festival, “One of the most interesting entries will be installed at the Fort Pitt Block House, a towering sculpture known as the ‘Black Rock Negative Energy Absorber.’” “The Black Rock Negative Energy Absorbers are a group of sculptures with a magical function: to expunge negative energy from viewers — in the form of prejudice, racism or even quotidian disdain – and allow them to respond to life with the more open, compassionate and positive aspects of their personalities,” said Shepherd. “The series is, on the one hand, a response to living in New York City for the last 13 years and witnessing the madness that takes place in this American microcosm. At the same time, it is also an approach to political art that seeks to push the dialogue started in the late 1980s, early 1990s forward into the present by looking at the problems of society in a more comprehensive way and advancing practices culled from new age mythology and ancient religions to heal our still divided and troubled country.” The induction ceremony will feature a live performance, as well as live music involving both Shepherd and musical collaborator Elias Einhorn and a blessing by fellow artist and Unitarian Universalist minister Ian Maher.

RUDY SHEPHERD’S “Black Rock Negative Energy Absorber” is intended “to expunge negative energy from viewers ... and allow them to respond to life with the more open, compassionate and positive aspects of their personalities,” according to the artist. The performance will “turn on” the installation so that it can begin absorbing the negative energy from visitors to the festival and from the site itself. The Dollar Bank Three Rivers Arts Festival, a production of the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, is a celebration of the arts in downtown Pittsburgh, and is free and open to the public. The festival begins on the first Friday in June each year and takes place at the confluence of Pittsburgh’s famed three rivers in Point State Park, throughout picturesque Gateway Center and in the city’s world-renowned Cultural District.

GLEN CAMPBELL’S battle with Alzheimer’s disease is recounted in the film “I’ll Be Me,” which will be shown at the State Theatre on June 14.
Film recounts Campbell’s battle with Alzheimer’s
STATE COLLEGE — Foxdale Village and Northwest Bank are hosting a special Centre Region screening of “Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me” at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, June 14, at the State Theatre in downtown State College. This award-winning film, produced by Trevor Albert and James Keach and directed by James Keach, recounts Campbell’s unprecedented 2011 tour. Anticipated to last five weeks, the tour extended to include 151 spectacular sold-out shows over a triumphant year and a half. What makes this tour extraordinary is that Glen was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Campbell was told to hang up his guitar and prepare for the inevitable. Instead, he and his wife went public with his diagnosis and announced that he would set out on a “Goodbye Tour.”
The film documents this amazing journey as Campbell and his family attempt to navigate the wildly unpredictable nature of his progressing disease using love, laughter and music as their medicine of choice. The cast includes: Glen Campbell, Kim Campbell, Bruce Springsteen, Bill Clinton, The Edge, Paul McCartney, Jay Leno, Vince Gill, Jimmy Webb, Blake Shelton, Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Steve Martin, Chad Smith and Taylor Swift. Whether you are a fan of Glen Campbell, a person living with Alzheimer’s, a loved one of someone with Alzheimer’s, a health care provider or a film buff, this film will inform, entertain and captivate you.

Don’t lie — but if you do, don’t be like Brady Southwest Airlines should hire Tom Brady to do one of those “Gotta Get Away” commercials. After Patriots management decided against appealing the NFL’s “Deflategate” punishment, Ron Borges of the Boston Herald reported: “(Coach Bill) Belichick never believed (Brady’s) story, from what I was told, because they all know. Why do you think all those retired quarterbacks, the Troy Aikmans of the world — Troy Aikman is about as nice a guy as I’ve ever met in football — nobody’s backed (Brady). Nobody, not a single guy. Why do you think that is? Because they hate Brady? No. Because they’re not stupid. They know nothing’s done with those balls that the quarterback doesn’t want done.” Just like Fox Sports cuts to Mike David M.

I apologize to my teammates, Patriots management, the NFL and, most importantly, the fans.” Brady’s and the Patriots’ legacies are tarnished. Continuing to lie won’t change that. Their only call is to learn from the mistake, be transparent and move on. And, in the future, play by both NFL and PR rules.

CorpU, helps supply chain leaders of tomorrow apply critical leadership concepts and best practices in holistic supply chain management. Through a three-pronged approach, the program draws on best practices in situation-based learning to not only cultivate student competencies, but also drive organizational improvement through adoption of end-to-end supply chain management. “The supply chain industry is more integral to our lives today than it ever has been, and yet it’s threatened by a growing shortage of trained supply chain and logistics professionals,” said Alan Todd, chief executive officer of CorpU. “This is an online boot camp for companies who want to close that skills gap and maximize organizational effectiveness.” Participants will participate in three five-week courses that focus on end-toend supply chain excellence, integrated supply networks and supply chain leadership. Learners will also have access to weekly live events with globally recognized supply chain experts, including Smeal College’s Christopher W. Craighead and C. John Langley Jr., as well as Chain Connectors Inc. partner Christopher Norek. Participants who enroll in the Supply Chain Leadership Academy will be eligible for the Professional Certificate in Supply Chain Integration awarded by Penn State Smeal College of Business. To learn more about the program, visit www.corpu.com/supply.
UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State’s Smeal College of Business, Gartner’s No. 1 graduate and undergraduate supply chain program, has unveiled the Supply Chain Leadership Academy. With online and multichannel retailers such as Walmart and Amazon leading the charge on rapid-fire ecommerce and shipping logistics, demand for supply chain talent is outpacing supply and putting pressure on corporate leaders and hiring managers. Analysis shows that the demand for supply chain professionals now exceeds the available talent pool 6 to 1. “Changes in global supply chains and the talent marketplace are challenging supply chain leaders to think about learning and development in a new way,” said Ken Chadwick, research director at Gartner, in a research summary from late last year. “Today, only a small portion of available talent has the technical, tactical and strategic supply chain skills needed to function in a knowledge-based global economy. Achieving supply chain excellence is an urgent need for many of the world’s largest companies in an ever more complex environment,” said Steve Tracey, executive director of the Center for Supply Chain Research at the Smeal. “Our partnership with CorpU seeks to help companies build the full range of capabilities across all levels of the organization needed to remain competitive.” Penn State’s new program, created with
