Bellefonte heads to state title game By CHRIS MORELLI

Raiders. Officials at Bellefonte Area High School are asking for parents, students and fans who attend the game to wear white as they try to “white out” Medlar Field in support of the Red Raiders. It has been a long and winding road for the Red Raiders, who began the season in turmoil. There was a coaching change in the offseason followed by a slow start. Somehow, someway, the Red Raiders battled through it all. Their journey to the school’s first-ever PIAA state title game game has not been easy. On June 6, the Red Raiders pulled off a surprising 2-1 victory over WPIAL champion Chartiers Valley. The victory took place at Fox Chapel High School, esentially a home game for Char Valley. In the next round, the Red Raiders posted a thrilling 1-0 victory over Erie Cathedral Prep, another upset. Into the semifinals they went. The Red Raiders trailed in the final frame before some heroics from senior Storm Smith. His two-run double propelled his squad into the title tilt.

BELLEFONTE — If registration numbers tell the story, there’s going to be a lot of people in Bellefonte this weekend. Pat McCool, chairman of the Bellefonte Cruise Committee, said registration for Saturday’s 28th annual Historic Bellefonte Cruise is up nearly 30 percent compared to this time last year. He said more than 300 vehicles were registered in 2015, and if the numbers stay true, McCool claims more than 400 cars, trucks and motorcycles will be competing for class trophies in 2016. “The numbers are really pretty staggering,” said McCool. “We know from last year about what to expect Saturday morning by looking at the number of pre-registers. This year we’re way past where we were last year. I think that means we’re going to see a lot more vehicles this weekend. It just may be our best year yet.” Just this week, McCool said the committee confirmed the DuBois All-American Soap Box

Dam Donuts opens for business in Bellefonte By G. KERRY WEBSTER kwebster@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — Who knew a few confectionary delights shared at church and community functions would lead to the start-up of a small business? That’s the story behind Dam Donuts on West High Street in Bellefonte. The business held its official grand opening on June 3, but the idea of opening some sort of bakery has been on the minds of Traci and Michael Beck ever since they exchanged wedding vows. “Opening a bakery is always something I wanted to do, and my husband and I have been discussing it for years,” said Traci Beck. “We even made an attempt at really trying to start a local bakery years ago, but it never really took off.” Loving to bake — especially desserts — she continued honing her craft. She made all types of cakes and treats and regularly shared them with friends and family at local functions and events. “A couple of years ago, someone said I should think about opening my own store,” she said. “They didn’t know it was something we’ve been thinking about for a long time, and I guess that kind of sparked my interest again.” As the couple discussed the possibility of opening their own business, they began looking into other bakery businesses and learned that many have shut their doors for good. “We visited a lot of different locations to see what kind of bakeries were out there, and surprisingly, we learned that many of them had closed down,” she said. “But,

what we did find was that specialty bakeries, such as those specializing in a specific item, like doughnuts, seemed to work well.” The couple decided to run with their idea and held a soft grand opening at Dam Donuts for friends and family on May 28. She said the attendance was unbelievable. “We had a guess about how many people would be there, but we had no idea it was going to be as crazy as it was,” she said. “Apparently, people in Bellefonte like their doughnuts.” The business is open Mondays through Fridays from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. and from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Visitors to Dam Donuts watch as their doughnuts are fried fresh, right in front of their eyes. The warm delights are then passed to a topping area where customers have several choices available, from the traditional glazed and powdered doughnuts, to the people’s choice, maple bacon. “We want to give our customers as many options as we can,” she said. “There are literally hundreds of combinations of toppings. People just need to try different things to see what they like.” And, it doesn’t cost customers a fortune. Traci Beck said single doughnuts cost 89 cents and they are also available by the six-pack or by the dozen. The business also offers fresh coffee, juices and soft drinks. The future looks bright for the business as it looks to expand its offerings to the general public. “We put in a comfortable lounge area with electrical outlets near seating areas so people can come and plug in their electronic devices. Wi-Fi is free here, and we

According to Traci Beck, while vacationing with her mother, Barb Snyder, they were discussing names and “Dam Donuts”

came up. “We are from the Howard area and the Howard Dam has always been a part of my life, so I guess it was a play on words,” she said. “We just laughed about it at first, but it kind of stuck. It’s catchy and we like it.” Dam Donuts can be found on Twitter and on Facebook. For more information or to place a large order, call (814) 548-7825.

Franklin tops list of highest paid PSU employees By GEOFF RUSHTON StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — In his first year on the university payroll, Penn State football coach James Franklin was, unsurprisingly, the school’s highest paid employee. In Penn State’s annual Right to Know filing, which was submitted at the end of May in accordance with state law and covers the fiscal year from July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2015, Franklin was the university’s only million-dollar earner, with a salary of $1,282,187. Former head coach Bill O’Brien held the top salary the prior year at more than $1.9 million. The next highest salary on the list — which includes the salaries of university officers and its other 25 highest paid employees — is Dr. Robert Harbaugh, Penn

State Hershey Medical Center’s chair of neurosurgery. The rest of the list is dominated by Penn State Hershey doctors and leadership. According to the Penn State corporate controller’s website, “only the compensation of University officers is paid from funds provided principally by tuition and/ or Commonwealth appropriation. The compensation of the other employees is provided from self-supporting entities (Penn State’s Milton S. Hershey Medical Center or Intercollegiate Athletics) that do not use funding from Commonwealth appropriations or student tuition.” Penn State President Eric Barron earned $581,818 in 2014-15. Former president Graham Spanier continues to rank among the university’s highest-paid employees, despite leaving the position in November

Bestwick rides to top of X Games record book By GEOFF RUSHTON StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — Twenty years ago, Jamie Bestwick set a goal to win one X Games gold medal. Today, the BMX great stands alongside a legend with the most golds in X Games history. The British-born Bestwick, a Patton Township resident and owner of Rothrock Coffee, won a record 13th X Games gold in the BMX Vert and 14th overall gold to tie the late Dave Mirra for most in the games’ history on June 4 in Austin, Texas. “It’s a tremendous honor to have my name in X Games history,” Bestwick said. “My goal was to win one X Games medal and here I stand in the great company of Dave Mirra, such a special person to me in so many ways, but mostly from our time competing against each other at the highest level. Our dedication to progression and pushing each other to the highest levels is something I hold dearly to this day.” After winning a record nine consecutive gold medals in the vert, Bestwick saw his streak broken last year with a second-place finish behind Vince Byron. “My attitude this year was a lot more relaxed,” Bestwick said. “Having lost last year and my winning streak coming to an end, it gave me an opportunity to re-focus and find the passion in BMX again. “It’s an incredibly hard position being the champion, and ultimately it took some of the fun out of BMX for me. So heading

into Austin I knew I was in a great position being a contender to really go for something big and put my self back on the top step of the podium.” He certainly did go for something big. Through a process of trial and error while training at Woodward Camp, he worked out a trick inspired by Mirra. “The 540 tail whip was a trick he was very comfortable with in his day and using that, I decided to up the ante by spinning backwards 540 degrees while whipping the bike around with me,” Bestwick said. “It was a surreal moment for me because the victory was reminiscent of the first time I won gold at X.” At the age of 44, Bestwick not only continues to be a champion, but has also become an ambassador for BMX, a position he said he is honored to be in. “(I) hope that my performances and positive attitude towards sports are inspiring to both the next generation and my generation,” he said. “My future plans are to keep on riding, having as much fun as possible and to be open to exciting opportunities that lay ahead.” In addition to being able to find him most days roasting coffee at Rothrock Coffee on South Atherton Street, Bestwick will continue to give back to the State College community.

Judge will release Sandusky settlement records By GEOFF RUSHTON StateCollege.com

PHILADELPHIA — Records from Penn State’s settlements with individuals who accused Jerry Sandusky of sexual abuse will be unsealed, following a Philadelphia judge’s ruling June 10. A coalition of media outlets petitioned Judge Gary Glazer to release the records, which were entered into court as part of the university’s lawsuit with its insurer over payment of the claims. Accuser names and other identifying information will be redacted and the records will be made available in 31 days, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, one of several media organizations that requested their release. The request came after a ruling from Glazer last month cited a claim that in 1976 a child allegedly told Penn State football coach Joe Paterno he had been molested by Sandusky, a former Penn State assistant coach. Glazer also wrote that Pennsylvania Manufacturers Association Insurance claimed, “(I)n 1987, a PSU Assistant Coach is alleged to have witnessed inappropriate contact between

Sandusky and a child at a PSU facility; in 1988, another PSU Assistant Coach reportedly witnessed sexual contact between Sandusky and a child … .” Pennsylvania Solicitor General Bruce Castor subsequently said that the 1980s allegations were looked into by state investigators and “The reports turned out to be double and triple hearsay and of no value. In arguments on June 9, the media groups argued that there was no compelling government interest for keeping the records sealed and because Penn State receives hundreds of millions of dollars in state funding there is a public interest in what the university knew about Sandusky and when. “This is information that needs to be made public,” attorney Craig J. Staudenmaier said, according to Philly.com. Penn State’s attorney argued that even if names were redacted, making the records public could be embarrassing for the accusers. “This is very sensitive private information that has not been made public,” attorney Alexander Bilus said, adding accusers who gave depositions were promised confidentiality.

Glazer said only the parts of depositions entered into the lawsuit between Penn State and PMA will be made available and that he does not have the full depositions. Penn State has paid about $93 million to 32 accusers who say they were abused by Sandusky. The university is arguing its insurer, PMA, should cover some of those costs. Glazer’s ruling in May barred Penn State from coverage for about a third of the claims, citing an abuse and molestation exclusion in the university’s policy during the 1990s. Penn State is appealing that ruling. Franklin, from page 3 Dr. Carol Copeland, a Penn State Hershey orthopaedic physician, is the only woman on the list, with a salary of $557,149.

DiamondBack Truck Covers expands By G. KERRY WEBSTER kwebster@centrecountygazette.com

RUSH TOWNSHIP — A growing business with roots in the classroom at Penn State University is expanding. On June 9, local leaders, politicians and more than three dozen employees of DiamondBack Truck Covers gathered in the Moshannon Valley Business Park to break ground on a new 37,000-squarefoot facility to continue manufacturing innovative and high-quality truck accessories. “We are so happy to be in a position to do this today,” said DiamondBack Truck Covers chief financial officer Ben Eltz, as he welcomed the dozens in attendance to the ceremony. “DiamondBack Truck Covers has come a long way since Ethan (Wendle) and Matt (Chverchko) started this company way back in 2002. The success is because of you, who are in attendance with us here today. If it weren’t for your help and your support, DiamondBack Truck Covers would not be in the great position that it is today. Thank you.” The company took root in 2002 in the classrooms at Penn State University when Wendle and Chverchko began working on a business plan for a project to make truck covers. As their plans grew, so did their vision. They decided to try to make it work, and reached out to Stan LaFuria, executive director of the Moshannon Valley Economic Development Partnership. “I still have the notes from the first time I talked to Ethan on the phone,” said LaFuria. “I have right here in my notes that this young company wants to make tonneau covers. I couldn’t have been any more wrong.” LaFuria said Wendle and Chverchko was seeking manufacturing space to produce their truck covers. They were building the covers in a makeshift workshop at a local garage and they needed to expand. With the help of the MVEDP, the duo was able to secure a lease agreement to occupy space within the Moshannon Valley

Economic Development Center on Shadylane Drive in Philipsburg. Beginning in 2004, the company had to manage several expansions as it ate up more and more space in the development center. Over the past four years, the company has seen significant and sustained growth, which landed the company on the Inc. 5000 list, which honors America’s fastest growing companies, three years in a row. This growth, combined with the company’s goal of creating a more modern environment for its employees, led the company to begin pursuing a potential site for construction. According to LaFuria, after reviewing many sites, the company chose to remain in Philipsburg and purchased 4.2 acres in the business park. With agreement from the county, local school district and Rush Township, DiamondBack Truck Covers was able to secure a tax-free, Keystone Opportunity Zone, for a period of 10 years. The new facility will be about 40 percent larger than the current manufacturing plant. Construction is scheduled to be complete in April 2017. According to Wendle, the new manufacturing facility will include 28,400 square feet of manufacturing space and 8,700 square feet for offices, a break room and a state-of-the-art kitchen area. The building, designed by Chris Bohley, of Hughes Bohley Engineering, will improve both production efficiency and employee quality of life. Wendle said with the proposed layout of the manufacturing side of the facility, he expects material and product to flow linearly from one end of the building to the other. He said this strategy will give then company more than 100 percent increase in single-shift throughput. Features designed to improve employees’ quality of life include large windows for natural lighting on the production floor, a weight room and shower facilities and a large kitchen and break room for company and employee events.

ETHAN WENDLE, CEO of DiamondBack Truck Covers, addressed a large crowd gathered to witness the groundbreaking for a new, 37,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in the Moshannon Valley Regional Business Park. Wendle said with the new facility, up to 45 new jobs will be created in the Moshannon Valley. “We’re excited to stay right here in Phil-

ipsburg and do what we love,” said Wendle. “I think I can speak on behalf of all of our employees in saying the best things are still yet to come. Stay tuned.”

Local vigil honors victims of Orlando shooting By StateCollege.com UNIVERSITY PARK — Members of the Penn State and local community came together Monday evening for a vigil on the steps of Old Main to honor the victims of the terrorist attack in Orlando, Fla. “Stand in Solidarity with Orlando” included remarks from administrators, students, religious leaders, members of the LGBTQ community and Muslim Student Association on the steps of Old Main as community members held candles and joined together. The vigil included a moment of silence, prayer and the reading of the names of everyone whose life was lost in the attack that took place early June 12 at a gay nightclub. Nick Jones, executive vice president and provost, said that by coming together the university community was standing “in solidarity with those who lost loved ones.” “We stand in solidarity with the emergency responders, who acted quickly and bravely in an effort to save innocent lives. We stand in solidarity with everyone across our nation and the world who steadfastly objects to the hatred that fueled such a heinous, criminal act,” Jones said. “By standing together, we are saying that we abhor this and other acts of terrorism, which affects members of our community — including the LGBTQ community — in various ways. We are saying that at Penn State campuses across the commonwealth, we have strong communities of inclusion and support — robust, diverse communities that celebrate and respect our differences.” The Penn State LGBTQA Student Resource Center coordinated the event with the Commission on LGBTQ Equity, Counseling and Psychological Services, LGBTQA Student Resource Center, Muslim Student Association, Office of the President, Pasquerilla Spiritual Center, Paul Robeson Cultural Center, the Social Justice Coalition and Student Affairs, and the Centre LGBTQA Support Network.

“The way that we can build a better and stronger institution is by supporting each other and coming together in true unity to ensure that each of us creates a better space here at Penn State,” said Marcus Whitehurst, vice provost for Educational Equity. Allison Subasic, director of the LGBTQA Student Resource Center, said it was a day to come together as a Penn State community. “This vigil is the day we choose to heal, love one another and comfort those we love,” Subasic said. “Tomorrow is never guaranteed, and we are stronger than all the hate in the world.”

In wake of Orlando shootings ... Centre LGBTQA Support Network visits county commissioners

By G. KERRY WEBSTER kwebster@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — The Centre County board of commissioners invited representatives of the Centre LGBTQA Support Network to attend its June 14 board meeting to talk about the recent tragic event in Orlando, Fla., and what the group is doing to bring education and support to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community and its allies in Centre County. “The events we saw in Orlando this weekend were certainly tragic,” said Kerry Wiessmann, president of Centre LGBTQA Support Network. “Unfortunately, many of the families learned of their son or daugh-

ter’s preference only because of this event.” Wiessman, along with organization vice president Tamar London, said residents of the LGBT community, as well as all community members, should have educational material, as well as support, available when they need it. The pair said Centre County is a tolerant community; however, making sure there is safe harbor for that community, as well as their friends and family, is vital. “We want people to know they can feel safe in Centre County,” said Wiessman. “We want people to know we’re here for them.” According to Wiessman, the Centre LGBTQA Support Network took root in 2014. She said when they first began research

The plea agreement, if accepted, could put Weaver-Gates in a state prison for two to four years, followed by five years of county-monitored probation. Stacy Parks-Miller, Centre County’s district attorney, penned the plea agreement. She said she is satisfied with the stipulations in the document; however, she noted only she and Weaver-Gate’s attorney, public defender Deb Lux, have signed it. “It’s still going to be up to the courts to accept or reject the agreement,” Parks-Miller said. “We’re not holding sentencing until a later date so the victims can be present to address the court about how this case has affected them.” Sentencing in the case is scheduled for Tuesday, July 26, in Bellefonte. According to the affidavit of probable cause, state police received information in November 2015 that Weaver-Gates was lying to people about being afflicted with cancer, and profiting from fundraisers held in her benefit. Police said she told others she was receiving treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia at various hospitals across the northeast. Police said these activities occurred for about 24 months, and she went as far as shaving her head and having family

However, they quickly realized that people seeking assistance and support in Centre County were not just parents, friends and families. The majority of those seeking something were part of the LGBT community. “Centre County needed a broader organization to bring awareness to the LGBT causes,” she said. “That’s what we set out to provide.” According to London, the organization is directed by a six-member board and sponsors support groups and social events designed to bring awareness to their cause. Recent events included a well-attended

Several people close to Weaver-Gates began growing suspicious of her claims after she insisted on attending treatments alone and she wanted to maintain her own bank account, where benefit funds were deposited. According to the Centre County DA’s office, when she was asked about her treatments, she was unable to identify any of her doctors by name. Several hospitals were con-

community fair, drag bingo and the popular open mic nights at Webster’s Bookstore Cafe, which has seen a steady rise in attendance. A recent senior prom at Tussey Mountain was a huge fundraising success for the organization. “We’ve also created three different, yet similar support groups,” said Wiessman, noting the groups include parents of LGBT children, those coming out later in life and transgender individuals. “We want people to feel comfortable in Centre County and to do that, we need to continue to spread our education,” she said. Those seeking more information about the group can search Centre LGBTQA Support Network on Facebook.

tacted where Weaver-Gates claimed to receive treatment, but there were never any records of her being treated or ever being a patient. Authorities believe her scheme netted her close to $20,000. “Many, many people have been affected by cancer, and when someone takes advantage of that to make money as fraud in a calculated and elaborate way, it is incomprehensible,” said Parks-Miller.

MOUNT NITTANY NIGHT is a fundraiser to help raise awareness to conserve the mountain.

Mount Nittany Night set By ANTONIA JARAMILLO correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

BOALSBURG — The sixth annual Mount Nittany Night will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, June 24, at the Mountain View Country Club in Boalsburg. Hosted by the Mount Nittany Conservancy, Mount Nittany Night is a fundraiser to help raise awareness to conserve the mountain, said co-program committee chair Elizabeth Fegert. The conservancy, which was founded in 1981, works hard to preserve Mount Nittany so that people can continue to enjoy it, according to board president John Hook. The conservancy now has obtained more than 300 acres of land on the mountain that could have potentially faced commercial or residential purposes, according to the Mount Nittany Conservancy website. Working to help maintain about nine miles worth of trails, the conservancy makes sure the trails are clean and safe for everyone to enjoy. “People don’t realize how much it takes

to take care of the trails in the mountain,” Fegert said. Mount Nittany is the primary geographic standout of Centre County, making it important that is well kept and preserved, Hook said. Tickets are $40 per person to attend Mount Nittany Night and there will be complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres. “(Having this event) is a great opportunity for people who want to support the Mount Nittany Conservancy, as well as the mountain,” Hook said. This is the only event that the conservancy does, so it is very important for people to come and attend, Fegert said. “The mountain is a symbol of Happy Valley, so therefore it’s important to make sure that Mount Nittany remains constant throughout the ages,” Hook said. This event is a great way to let people know that the conservancy exists, and everyone from the community is welcome to attend, Hook said. “(Mount Nittany Night) is a great way to interact with other people in the community and come together to celebrate and conserve the mountain,” Fegert said.

Sunday, July 3rd - Monday, July 4th

In addition, McCool said the main stage area will see improvements this year, and several downtown merchants have expressed their interest in holding sidewalk sale promotions during both days of the event. “And, we’re going to be giving a ton of things away throughout the event,” he said, noting items such as T-shirts, hats and gift certificates to local businesses. The event opens Friday, June 17, with the informal “parade cruise.” McCool said car lovers from across the area are invited to bring their antique or vintage ride to town between 6 and 7:30 p.m. to participate in the nostalgia of a cruise around town. “We close a few streets and have a parade of cars moving about through town,” he said. “Normally, we get between 5,000 and 10,000 people in town for that short cruise alone.” Immediately following the cruise, the local band Your Dad’s Friends will perform, sock-hop style, on the community

Payday loan schemes need to be curtailed By the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Payday loans are usury, pure and simple. For years, legitimate banks have been prohibited from charging cripplingly high interest rates on loans. The nation’s payday lenders, however, have levied exorbitant interest rates on loans to consumers in need of fast cash. Now, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau intends to rein in the payday loan industry. Unexpected expenses are part of life. The car breaks down. A major appliance dies. Some people dip into savings, some use credit cards. But not everyone who needs a few hundred bucks has savings or good credit, and payday lenders have been happy to help. All businesses exist to make profit. But the $38 billion payday advance industry benefits on the backs of the most vulnerable. Here’s what happens: A consumer gets a $500 payday advance loan. He’d owe $575 after two weeks, or 15 percent. But if payment is not made, additional charges of $75 are added every two weeks thereafter. In a year, his interest rate would amount to 390 percent. Yes — 390 percent. Moreover, consumers often need to roll the loan over into another one, so they begin the fatal accumulation of debt all over again. Richard Cordray, director of the CFPB, described taking out a payday advance loan as akin to taking a taxi to get across town, then winding up on a “ruinously expensive” cross-country trip. The CFPB proposes limiting how many times consumers can roll over loans into new ones. That makes sense. The agency would apply the rule to auto-title loans, deposit advance products, and some high-cost installment loans, too. Additionally, CFPB wants the lenders to ensure that consumers are able to repay the loans and not have to take out new ones to meet loan demands. Finally, the agency would require pay lenders to give consumers notice prior to trying to debit their bank accounts, and it also intends to restrict the number of times lenders can try to debit an account. The payday industry is complaining. No surprise there. But tightening the reins on those lenders is necessary. This is predatory lending aimed at the working poor.

By The Kansas City Star The case of Brock Turner is infuriating. He engaged in sickening behavior and was found guilty of sexual assault against a 22-year-old woman. Here are three aspects of this case worth highlighting. Turner received a lenient sixmonth jail sentence — and he could serve even less time. The now-former Stanford University student and standout swimmer represents to many the status of white privilege wrongly afforded to well-off Americans, especially athletes. The victim read a remarkably well-written, lengthy and passionate statement at Turner’s sentencing. It is gratifying to see how many Ameri-

cans have cared enough about this situation to seek it out. Some good will come out of this horrible situation. Toward the end of her statement, the victim delivered a positive message to women and victims of sexual assault: “I hope that by speaking today, you absorbed a small amount of light, a small knowing that you can’t be silenced, a small satisfaction that justice was served, a small assurance that we are getting somewhere, and a big knowing that you are important, ... you are untouchable, you are beautiful, you are to be valued, respected, undeniably, every minute of every day, you are powerful and nobody can take that away from you.” In addition, New York Times

writer Emily Bazelon made the optimistic contention that “the cultural and legal responses to rape are shifting, in the direction that victims and their supporters have long fought for.” She and others pointed to the fact that Turner didn’t get away with doing what so many men have done in the past: Blame the victim. He will pay a long-term price, including having to register as a sex offender the rest of his life. That’s not enough for many, which is entirely understandable. The Brock Turner case must continue to reverberate in America. The country still has far to go in properly punishing rapists — and in preventing unconscionable behavior that leads to sexual assaults in the first place.

firmed the simple truth of things I already knew. Kornfield immediately cured me of my misapprehension that these enlightenment-seeking Californians were disengaged from the world by beginning his session with a recitation of the names of the victims of the Orlando nightclub shooting. He then promised not to provide updates on the Warriors-Cavs game in deference to those who were recording it to watch it when they got home. Kornfield folksily refers to meditation as sitting quietly, which underscores what a sane response it is to the anxiety, busyness and digital addictions that plague us all. Who can argue with setting aside 20 minutes of every day to essentially catch our breath, calm down and relax our tensed bodies? Kornfield made clear that sitting quietly was not an end in itself, but a preparation for calm action. A person who waits for the mud to sink to the bottom and the water to run clear is less likely to answer anger with anger and hatred with hatred. Sit quietly, Kornfield said, then stand up for what you believe. A few days earlier, Boorstein spoke of a gradual shift in emphasis at Spirit Rock from enlightenment — whatever that is — to such old-fashioned values as ethics, virtue and integrity, from compassion for oneself to compassion also for others. Boorstein and co-teacher Donald Rothberg talked about not doing harm and about avoiding enmity, words that spoke directly to the nastiness of our politics and so much of our digital communication. The Dalai Lama says his religion is kindness. You got a better philosophy than that?

HEALTH & WELLNESS

How fat, salt and sugar can be good for you HERSHEY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; When it comes to healthy eating, the villains are constantly changing. It used to be fat that was the bad guy. So people started eating fat-free crackers, low-fat cookies and other carbheavy foods that left them feeling hungry. Then carbs came under fire, and people flocked to fatand protein-heavy diets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure the pendulum has stopped swinging yet because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still talking about all these different things,â&#x20AC;? said Liz Reid, a clinical dietician at Penn State Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think often we look at food and pull out one or two nutrients and say that is the whole story,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we need to talk about is not only what is in food, but how to nourish ourselves â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not just getting the essential nutrients, but getting them in a way that is satisfying so we stop thinking about food so much â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when we ate last, when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to eat and how many calories weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eating.â&#x20AC;? So, instead of billing fat, salt and sugar as an evil trifecta, Reid suggests itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more useful to understand their role in a balanced diet. Fats are necessary because they are part of all cell membranes in the body, and part of hormones and neurotransmitters, she said. Health professionals have divided fats into good and bad categories, working to wipe out saturated and trans fats, while encouraging consumption of omega-3 fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids that come from foods such as walnuts, fatty fish, avocados, flax seed,

sunflower and olive oil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need fat to absorb fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E and K,â&#x20AC;? Reid said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why some health professionals would recommend that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to use full-fat items sometimes rather than fat-free ones that are loaded with sugar and chemicals.â&#x20AC;? Some shelf-stable baked goods add gums, gels and stabilizers to replace the fat, and they can upset the stomach. Or, they have hydrogenated oils and fats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one thinks those are good for you,â&#x20AC;? Reid said. Items such as salad dressings may add artificial sweeteners, colors and sugars to make up for less fat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re better off making your own,â&#x20AC;? she said. When it comes to salt, up to 3,000 mg a day is fine for most Americans. The trend toward sea salt and kosher salt may help you be satisfied with less, but because those salts donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contain the iodine of table salt, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d need to get it through other sources such as fish or vegetables. Iodine is necessary for production of thyroid hormones, which control metabolism and other bodily functions. The glucose that comes from sugar and carbs is important for the brain and other organs, but Reid urges people to be smart about where their glucose comes from. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You want to get carbohydrates from whole grains, vegetables and fruits and eat more whole foods and fewer processed foods.â&#x20AC;? Although fruit has natural sugars, it also provides fiber and antioxidants that are important for the body. Reid

Thinkstock

Preventive care makes sense at any age

RAVISHANKAR RAO

Dr. Ravishankar Rao is a family medicine and sports medicine physician with Penn State Medical Group.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, women are far more likely than healthy men to see their doctor for annual exams and preventive services. June is national Men’s Health Month — to increase awareness of preventable health conditions and encourage early detection and treatment for men. It is important to spread the word not just among men, but also among women who can encourage the men in their lives to take care of themselves. Just like women, all men should have an annual physical exam. These visits help to establish a relationship with a medical provider, as well as help identify specific health risks and challenges that may advance with age.

WHAT HAPPENS AT AN ANNUAL EXAM?

At a man’s annual exam, his doctor can provide guidance and answer questions about a number of relevant health and wellness topics, such as nutrition, supplements and avoiding injury while trying to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle. The doctor will also share age-related preven-

tive health conditions, such as cholesterol and diabetes, as well as updates on screenings and immunizations. Sexually active men of all ages should be routinely screened for sexually transmitted diseases. Some men may be “carriers” and unknowingly transmit STDs to their partners without showing any symptoms themselves. Of course, all men should seek immediate evaluation for specific STD symptoms, such as genital itching, rash, blisters, discharge or pain with urination or ejaculation. As part of a preventive visit, the doctor asks about specific age-related risk factors. For adolescents and young men, testicular cancer is a real and often unforeseen risk. It typically presents as a painless swelling or mass. In addition to conducting a physical exam, the doctor advises of proper self-examination and when to seek further evaluation. Early detection and intervention can prevent serious complications and even death. Regular physicals and self-examinations also can uncover benign, fully treatable testicular masses. For men over 50, the doctor addresses routine health maintenance items, such as colorectal cancer screening, as well as risks and symptoms associated with the prostate. While prostate cancer is the most common cancer specific to men, benign prostate conditions can also significantly affect quality of life. As part of annual checkups, doctors can advise men of the need for further evaluation, as well as treatment options if and when necessary.

THE “PSA TEST” FOR PROSTATE CANCER

A PSA is a common blood test to screen for prostate cancer and other prostate-related issues. When used in conjunction with a physical exam, it can help doctors identify early signs of prostate cancer. While this test is widely utilized, it has come under scrutiny. Recently, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommended against PSA testing for prostate cancer. Some factors that contributed to this update include the typically slow growth rate of prostate cancer. In addition, prostate biopsies (often performed with elevated PSA levels) have been known to put the patient at-risk for urinary incontinence or impotence. The American Urologic Association recommends men discuss the benefits and risks of the PSA test, along with specific risk factors (age, race/ethnicity, family history and any prostate-related symptoms) before pursuing it to avoid unnecessary procedures and risk of complications.

MAKE HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHANGES

Men’s Health Month is the perfect time for men to consider making lifestyle changes to improve their overall health: quit smoking; eat more proteins, whole grains and fresh vegetables; avoid processed or refined sugary foods; exercise at least 30 minutes a day, several days a week; and get enough sleep. Most importantly, schedule an annual checkup with a primary care provider.

Flipped classrooms turning STEM education upside down By JENNIFER MATTHEWS Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — Given the difficult-to-digest subject matter in many STEM classrooms, educators have customarily relied on traditional lecture-based educational methods where they spend class time walking through content and then assign homework problems to supplement that learning. Liberal arts classrooms, on the other hand, often invert that structure. They task students with learning the material from a book outside the classroom and then turn class time into active discussion periods where they expand and develop what they’ve read. “It’s difficult for an engineering student to extract the technical information from a book on their own,” said Stephanie Butler Velegol, instructor in environmental engineering. “Students need to hear the problem-solving out loud; they need to hear the way the professor works through the solution to the problem.” The issue with the traditional lecturebased approach in STEM education is that even with capable and committed faculty, the method just doesn’t engage some

students and keep them interested. Even when it is successful, educators find they have a hard time interacting with students when they’re constantly behind the lectern. That’s where the flipped classroom comes in. In a flipped classroom, students gain technical knowledge through online videos that prepare them to participate in in-class activities, which may include problem-solving, discussions, brainstorming, design work, guest speakers or field trips. “The goal is to increase active learning, which has been shown to have a strong impact on student performance,” Velegol said. By moving the lecture time out of the classroom, class time can be used for any number of activities that engage the student. Velegol knows firsthand what the flipped classroom can do for STEM education. She has been flipping since 2010 after noticing a problem with student learning retention in the traditional classroom. While teaching her Introduction to Environmental Engineering course using lecture-based methods, Velegol noticed students were often coming to her office

STEPHANIE VELEGOL decided to try flipping her classroom in 2010 after noticing a problem with student learning retention in the traditional classroom. hours with questions regarding the homework problems, even though she had already covered the material in class. When their questions applied directly to a specific problem, they seemed to better understand the material and were then able to complete the problems successfully. In addition, Velegol noticed that the students were able to use what they learned to teach each other, which is the highest level of learning comprehension. Velegol realized that this was the kind of interaction she wanted to recreate in the classroom. “Students are often just staring at me or staring down at their desks, or they’re asleep,” Velegol said. “They’re not engaging.” So Velegol decided to flip her class around. “The first time I flipped my class, I made a lot of mistakes,” she said. In the first version, Velegol recorded her live lectures during the semester to create the videos. The students were then required to watch about three hours of video per week and come to class and work on class problems in addition to the homework problems. This resulted in students feeling frustrated by so much work. So Velegol tried a second version. This time, the lecture material was created in a studio. Individual videos were about 10 minutes in length and each week the students watched about 100 minutes of video. In addition, the class time was used for the homework due at the end of the week. This version was more effective and the students became more engaged. Velegol has gone through three or four versions since she first began and is becoming more successful each time as she learns more about the needs of students in the active learning environment. In an effort to encourage more student atten-

dance and participation, she now uses class time to engage students in multiplechoice questions using “clickers” that immediately collect the data and display it in bar graphs for the entire class and other in-class problems that are due at the end of the period. Velegol said that, although a few students aren’t comfortable with it, the majority of students favor the flipped classroom. In a study published in 2015, “The Evolution of a Flipped Classroom: EvidenceBased Recommendations,” Velegol, along with Sarah E. Zappe, director of assessment and instructional support for the Leonhard Center for Teaching Excellence, and Emily Mahoney, former civil engineering undergraduate student, reported that 77 percent of the students stated that they would prefer to take a flipped course with the instructor. The major reasons included flexibility in learning, being able to rewatch the lectures, and interacting with peers and faculty in order to have homework questions answered in class. Though the research has not shown marked improvement in test scores, Velegol has seen a great deal of other benefits. Overall, she said, the research shows there is a significant improvement in classroom climate, especially in student involvement and differentiated instruction. She’s also seen advances in self-efficacy and student engagement. “Self-efficacy and classroom climate lead directly to motivation to learn, so whether or not the students are doing better on the final exam, they’re more motivated to learn the material,” Velegol said. Velegol will present these findings at the American Society for Engineering Education conference in New Orleans later this month.

Spring machinery show draws crowds to Penns Cave By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — At the Nittany Antique Machinery Association’s recent spring show, hundreds of shining examples of restored antique tractors gleamed in John Deere green, Farmall red and Minneapolis-Moline orange. The event, held at Penn’s Cave, also featured antique tractor pulls, hit-and-miss engines, food vendors, antique vehicles and a building filled with toy tractors, trucks and farm machinery, as well as a flea market showcasing hundreds of vendors. Some of the tractors on display were still in their “barn-find” state, with faded paint and surface-rust patinas, but running and awaiting their cosmetic makeovers. Thousands of hours of work were represented by these antique workhorses. Restored farm implements are much more rare than tractors at this show, but one fine example this year was a 1930s vintage McCormick-Deering Little Genius plow, owned by Roger Benner, of Bellefonte. Benner has been involved with tractor restoration for many years, as his father, Fred Benner, restored several Case tractors, which were also on display at the show. Benner said his dad bought the plow and planned to restore it and display it at the show, but he passed away last October.

SAM STITZER/For the Gazette

ROGER BENNER shows his restored McCormick-Deering Little Genius plow from the 1930s. He finished the restoration his late father had begun last year.

Benner decided to finish the restoration, and worked feverishly to get the job done in time for the show. The results of his efforts were impressive. The plow was completely disassembled and every part was cleaned of rust and repainted. Benner reassembled the plow and made it completely functional. A few hardware items were replaced, but the plow is otherwise completely original. “Dad wanted to show it, so I worked every day for a solid month to get it done,” he said. Another interesting display was a collection of 27 child-size pedal tractors shown by Bob Lee Sr., of Grampian. Lee’s collection featured beautifully restored pedal-powered replicas of John Deere, Farmall, Allis-Chalmers, Ford and several other brands of tractors, some with scaleddown replicas of a plow, a hay rake, a hay baler and a wagon, complete with scaleddown hay bales. NAMA was formed in 1975, and held its first show at the Penn’s Cave Farm in September of that year. The fall show, held the weekend of Labor Day, has become one of the largest of its kind east of the Mississippi River. The spring show, held annually on the first weekend after Memorial Day, is a somewhat smaller version of the fall show and features free admission for spectators.

This Father’s Day, give the gift of time well-spent Father’s Day is Sunday, June 19, yet you have no idea what to buy for Dad. How about thinking of some things to do with Dad?

Muddy Paws Marsh hosts sixth annual Frog Festival By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — On June 11, Muddy Paws Marsh near Spring Mills hosted the sixth annual Frog Festival, sponsored by the Penns Valley Conservation Association and Penn State Master Gardeners. The marsh is owned by Greg and Mary Kay Williams, who also own and operate the Cooke Tavern Bed and Breakfast and the Cooke Tavern Soups Company, adjacent to the marsh along state Route 45. Decades ago, the marsh area had drains installed, and was used as a pasture area. When the Williamses bought the property, they had the drains removed, returning the marsh to its natural state and opened it to the public. The Frog Festival attracted a large crowd of visitors who walked between several stations around the marsh learning about different facets of marshland ecology. Special guest for the event was Dr. Jim Julian, a biology instructor at the Altoona campus of Penn State. He has collaborated on amphibian research with the U.S. Geological Survey and the National Park Service at the Delaware Water Gap Recreation Area in northeastern Pennsylvania. Julian presented tadpoles taken from the marsh, representing several of Pennsylvania’s frog species, and described their life cycles and breeding habits, and other facets of amphibian life. He mentioned that amphibians’ skin serves an important

function in their lives. “All amphibians can actually get oxygen into their bloodstreams through their skin,” said Julian. “They need to have very moist, very thin skin, and that’s why frogs and salamanders are real sensitive to different types of poisons and toxins in the environment.” Julian noted that each species of frogs has their own distinct calls, which are used for mating and as alarms when predators approach. He played recorded sounds of various frogs for the visitors. He also said that different frog species take different amounts of time — ranging from a few months for spring peepers to three years for bullfrogs — to complete their metamorphoses. Julian said that some frog species breed in seasonal wetlands, which dry out in mid-summer, while other species prefer the permanent wetland environment. “The smaller species like wetlands that dry out late in summer because it eliminates species of fish that are really effective predators that eat these young frogs,” he said. Muddy Paws Marsh contains both seasonal and permanent wetland areas. “When you have a diversity of wetland types, you have a diversity of plant and animal species also,” said Julian. On a grassy area of the marsh were displays from various conservation and nature-oriented groups. Helen Karp showed several species of rabbits, including a large black French lop. Karp said rabbits of this

Eagle Ironworks at Curtin Village is a historical gem By CONNIE COUSINS correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

HOWARD — Eagle Ironworks and Furnace at Curtin Village recently held an open house to acquaint the public with some of the updates and changes being completed at the site. “With some of the upgrades, they will be able to offer more in the way of group events, etc.,” said Jeanne Newlin, secretary and member of the Roland Curtin Foundation. “With the money from a grant, we will be to reopen the kitchen. An individual has donated equipment for it also. We will be able to cook and serve food again, and that will be an added feature to holding programs here.” Andy Rupert, director of marketing for the Central Pennsylvania Convention and Visitors Bureau, said, “There has been hours and hours of work put in to improve the site. The exterior has been painted and bathrooms repaired. There will be availability to hold more events here. The grant through the Pennsylvania Convention and Visitors Bureau has provided for upgrading the kitchen.” The kitchen is in a separate building near the outdoor pavilion so it is easy to see the possibilities for groups to rent the facilities in the future. The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission owns the historical site, which is open Saturdays and Sundays through the last weekend in October. Saturday hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday hours are from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Roland Curtin Foundation manages it. Roland Curtin and his family owned and operated the iron plantation from 1810 until 1921. The family mansion was built in 1930 and has been preserved for the purpose of showing life as it was in a company town in the 1800s. The mansion has three floors and visitors may tour two of them. The home is in the federal style and has original floors, woodwork and staircase. There are 15 rooms containing antiques of the period, including a cradle that was made in Curtin Village. Kate Curtin Gauche’s mother, in 1914, became the last member of the family to be born in the mansion. “I remember playing in the house on the third floor. Although the house was empty at that time, we followed the orders to ‘only play on the third floor,’” said Gauche, who lives in Bellefonte. She said there was furniture in the house still, although it had been vacant for 20 years. Gauche’s grandmother would open it in the summer for a few years after moving out and family would visit. Slated for flooding with the Howard Dam project, community members took the initiative to try to preserve it as a treasure of the iron ore history in Centre County. At the site was the last working waterwheel-powered cold blast charcoal furnace in the United States. The estate covered 30,000 acres and included the Curtin Ironworks and Furnace, farmlands and forest acreage that was

Ironworkers made the charcoal, iron ore and limestone into pig iron and wrought iron after the materials were hauled from pit mines to the forge. The furnace was the last last of its kind when it burned in 1921. Reconstruction was not begun until the 1970s. The tour includes all the buildings involved in the pig iron processing: the furnace, the blast house, casting house, charging house, bridge house and the

tuyere shed, all of which the tour guides explain thoroughly as to visitors touring the grounds. The foundation has also assembled a display of tools and machinery from the 19th century for visitors to view. During the June 11 open house, Newlin, explained that the upstairs rooms contained Empire-style furniture from the 1800s, glassware and a piano.

Stamp club holds show at American Philatelic Center BELLEFONTE — Stamp collecting takes center stage and offers a nod to local military history when it convenes at one of the world’s premier venues dedicated to the hobby, which is located in Centre County. The annual Scopex Stamp Show and Exhibition will be held Saturday, June 18 and Sunday, June 19, at the American Philatelic Center, 100 Match Factory Place, Bellefonte. The show will include 14 dealers, exhibits and a special souvenir show cachet. The Pennsylvania Postal History Society will hold its annual meeting during the show. The show cachet will feature the Boal Troop, a machine gun cavalry National Guard unit raised in 1916 by Army veteran Col. Theodore Davis Boal, of Boalsburg. Boal had studied art in France, where he met his wife. As much of the world went to war and the U.S. remained neutral, Boal was part of a “preparedness” movement in the U.S. Boal’s unit was first sent to the Texas-Mexico border and eventually became part of the 28th Infantry Division. The unit was sent to Europe in mid-May 1918 and, eventually, a dozen men in the 172-man unit were killed in action. The two nonprofit internationally active philatelic occupants of the center also participate in Scopex. The American Philatelic Society, which has 30,000 members worldwide, and the American Philatelic Research Library will staff segments of the center for the public to visit. The Headsville Post Office and Country Store — on

loan from the Smithsonian Institution to the APS — will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, offering current products from the U.S. Postal Service for sale. The structure served as a post office in Headsville, W.Va., from the 1860s to 1914. It was purchased by the Smithsonian and moved to the Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., where it served as an exhibit and post office from 1971 to 2006. The APRL has one of the world’s largest and most accessible collections of philatelic literature. Its nearly three miles of shelving contain more than 23,000 book titles and 5,700 journal titles — all dedicated to stamp collecting. Construction crews have been preparing the new twofloor APRL space over the past eight months and visitors to Scopex are expected to be some of the first to visit, pending approval of a certificate of occupancy from local codes officials. The library will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 18 and from 3 to 6 p.m. June 19. (The time is later on Sunday as the center begins welcoming guests for its annual summer seminar on philately.) Tours will be given, though exact times have not been set. Scopex show hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 18 and from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. June 19. Parking and admission are free. A show dinner, with catering by Blonde Bistro of Bellefonte, is scheduled for after the show Saturday night at the adjoining Big Spring Spirits at the Match Factory. Food

UNIVERSITY PARK — The American Association of University Women’s State College used book sale, recently held at the Snider Ag Arena, experienced four days of record sales. The event grossed $150,000, surpassing the next highest sales year — 2014 — which raised $140,930. Sale organizers attributed the success of the sale to several factors, including a high volume of donated books in excellent condition, a sustained interest in reading traditional books and support for the community event. Billie Willits, AAUW State College co-president, said that there is a heightened awareness of how the group funds local programs that benefit women and girls. “We are really thrilled with the turnout and the dollars raised, because the book sale is the economic engine for the local programs and scholarships we support,” said Willits.

Local group revives Victorian picnic tradition From Gazette staff reports BELLEFONTE — Picnics are a highlight of summer days, often held in wooded groves, at the beach, along a lake or on mountaintops. When cemeteries began to be landscaped into larger memorial parks, and especially when Civil War casualties populated them with community heroes, they also became picnic destinations. On June 4, the Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War Tent 62 Katherine Wilson Curtin laid flowers on the grave of Curtin, the tent’s (or chapter’s) namesake, and on the grave of Pvt. Osburn Bailey Lambert, of Company H, 148th Regiment, whose descendant, Debra Centra, is a tent member. This was the second time the group performed this ceremony since its founding on May 30, 2014. Curtin and her husband were married on May 30, 1844, and Memorial Day falls at the end of May, giving a triple meaning to this annual ritual. This year, a Victorian picnic — complete with white table cloths, wisteria-patterned china, cut-glass pitchers of lemonade, salad, sandwiches and the requisite strawberry and cream cheese cake — was a highlighted addition. “By spending time together and sharing a meal among the earthly markers of our community’s deceased, we honor their memory, bridging past and present,” said DUV member Linda Kao. In April, Tent 62 visited the Commonwealth Capitol Preservation Committee’s collection of Pennsylvania Civil War regimental flags in Harrisburg.

Adoption seminar scheduled

Jason Wilson, committee historian, showed more than a dozen flags of regiments in which DUV members’ ancestors fought. Some of the flags were in quite good condition, while others were riddled with bullet holes, ripped by saber slashes and even cut by survivors, for whom a piece of their flag was a treasured reminder of the sacrifices made to preserve the cause for which they fought. Each of the almost 400 flags requires constant conservation, and the tent was proud to be able to contribute to the Civil War Flag Account to keep these treasures preserved. The site of Camp Curtin, the largest muster camp in the Union, but now the smallest state park in Pennsylvania, features a statue of Gov. Andrew Curtin, a replica of the statue that stands near the entrance to Bellefonte’s courthouse plaza. While visiting this Harrisburg park to pay respects, tent members were also treated to an impromptu look inside the adjoining Camp Curtin Memorial-Mitchell United Methodist Church, guided by church leader Lynida Hudson. The leaders and congregation of the church have not only taken on the guardianship of many Camp Curtin artifacts, but also work to preserve the historic architecture and interior décor of the building, as well as serve the overwhelming needs of low-income neighborhood residents. They provide a community lunch three times a week, run camps for children, support several choirs and host a group of Narcotics Anonymous. Tent members plan to continue to support these endeavors.

Football buttons to feature slogans selected by bank colleagues STATE COLLEGE — Continuing a 45year tradition, Citizens Bank will create and distribute buttons featuring 12 slogans during the 2016 college football season. This year the buttons will feature slogans selected by area Citizens Bank colleagues. “We are pleased to once again kick off the Citizens Bank button program, a longstanding tradition,” said Daniel K. Fitzpatrick, president of Citizens Bank, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. “This year’s buttons showcase the creativity and pride that our colleagues share along with fans all across central Pennsylvania and alumni around the country.” Beginning Wednesday, Aug. 31, and continuing through the 2016 football season, the bank will release a new button each Wednesday at 26 branches in Central Pennsylvania, including locations in Centre, Blair and Mifflin counties.

This year, buttons can be acquired by making a donation of a nonperishable food item that will go to area food banks. Collection bins will be available in each of the 26 branches. Buttons are available on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last. Fans can also purchase a complete set of 12 buttons for $20 starting in late August. Checks for button sets must be made payable to The Food Bank of the State College Area Inc. and mailed to 341 Science Park Road, State College, PA 16803. All food donations made in branches will go to area food banks, and proceeds from button sales will directly support the food bank. The Citizens Bank buttons program began in 1972. Last year nearly 5,000 pounds of food and $5,700 were distributed and donated as part of the program.

Hunting licenses to go on sale soon BELLEFONTE — Centre County Treasurer Rich Fornicola reminds hunters that 2016-17 hunting licenses will go on sale at the Treasurer’s Office in the Willowbank Office Building in Bellefonte and at other outlets across the county beginning Monday, June 20. Monday, July 11, is the first day the Treasurers’ Office is allowed to accept antlerless deer license applications from Pennsylvania residents. The Pennsylvania board of commissioners voted to allow nonresidents to apply beginning the third Monday in July, which is July 18 this year. This change shortens the time between resident and

nonresident application periods by one week. First-round “bonus tags” will be available Monday, Aug. 1. The cost for residents to apply is $6.90, which is a 20-cent increase over past years. As a reminder, all applications must be submitted in the qualifying pink Game Commission envelope. The two WMUs located in Centre County are 2G and 4D. Wild Life Management Unit 2G has an allocation of 21,000 licenses and 4D has an allocation of 34,000. Lifetime license holders are reminded to renew their lifetime license at no cost in order to receive 2016 antlerless deer application.

Cruise attracts 20,000 visitors to Bellefonte By G. KERRY WEBSTER news@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — Imagine taking a full hour to travel just a few blocks in Bellefonte Borough. That was the situation each Friday and Saturday night in the 1970s and 1980s as dozens of teenagers and their wheels arrived to “cruise” the streets, waving at onlookers and gawking at the other rides driving by. Cruising was a huge pastime in that era; not just in Bellefonte, but in communities throughout the country.

On Friday, June 17, and Saturday, June 18, Bellefonte will once again become a local mecca for show-quality automobiles and the nostalgia of cruising small-town America on a lazy summer night. “I think we’re more excited about this year’s event than any we’ve had before in the past,” said Pat McCool, chairman of the Historic Bellefonte Cruise Committee. “We have a great lineup of events for the community of Bellefonte. There’s a lot of can’t-miss things going on.” The 2016 Historic Bellefonte Cruise enters its 28th straight season, and, according to McCool, attracts more

than 20,000 visitors to the community’s downtown during the weekend. Friday’s event, according to McCool, is informal. Car enthusiasts are encouraged to bring their automobiles to town between 6 and 7:30 p.m. to participate in the nostalgia of a cruise around town. “We close a few streets and have a parade of cars moving about through town,” said McCool. “Normally, we get between 5,000 and 10,000 people in town for that short cruise.”

Cruise offers plenty of entertainment By HARRY ZIMBLER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

According to Pat McCool, chairman of the 2016 Bellefonte Cruise, the event promises to be a year filled with family fun. The entertainment kicks off with a sock hop Friday, June 17, reminiscent of the dances that teens in the 1950s attended. This year’s hop will find the oldies band Your Dad’s Friends on stage. The dance starts at 7:30 p.m. and runs until 10:30 p.m.“We had quite a few requests for Your Dad’s Friends, (and) that’s why we invited them back,” said McCool. McCool said that while the sock hop is taking place, the DuBois All-American Soap Box Derby will be holding time trials. “This is an event that should be fun for the entire family,” said McCool. “There has been a lot of interest in soap box derby lately; a lot of interest in bringing it back to Bellefonte.” On Saturday, June 18, the entertainment mix includes the roving doo-wop group Ramalama, featuring such well-known personalities as Jeff Brown and

What’s new, from page 18 are a way to bridge the gap to a younger generation. The new MarketPlace will be on the courthouse lawn and will have spots for 30 vendors. McCool said they are still reviewing the applicants, but expect to see arts and crafts such as jewelry and candles available at the booths. “I think the MarketPlace will be a nice option for people to have at the cruise, something for people to do besides the cars and food,” said McCool.

Also new is the antique car award named after Richard “Witt” Davidson, who passed away last year. Davidson and his wife, Dottie, were long-time supporters of the cruise who were always looking to get more antique 1930s- and ’40s-style cars involved in the event. “It was one of his true heartfelt things that he was passionate about, antique cars,” said McCool about Davidson. Davidson was able get his own antique car the year before he passed, and McCool said he hopes that the award allows his legacy to continue on.

On the main stage, the cruise will present The Lindy Sisters. “They sing a variety of 1950s and early 1960s songs,” said McCool. “They do a real good job.” The second stage will offer the sounds of Biscuit Jam. “They’re a smaller local group that people enjoy listening to,” said McCool. In addition to the music on the entertainment menu, the cruise will present Motorcycles Games, a competition for motorcycle riders. “That always draws a big crowd,” said McCool. “It’s sponsored by Extreme Custom Cycles.” McCool noted that there will be a disc jockey on stage throughout the cruise and there will be many giveaways and prizes. There also will be a MarketPlace on the grounds of the Centre County Courthouse offering a variety of items for sale, including arts and crafts. Overall, McCool is pleased with the rising interest in the event. The Bellefonte Cruise should continue to show growth now that the economy is improving, he said.

Kids can have fun at the cruise, too By CONNIE COUSINS correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — On Saturday, June 18, from 7 a.m. to noon, kids 18 and younger can register their own vehicles — tricycles, bicycles, toy trucks, or just about anything with wheels — at the Bellefonte Cruise. Registration is free and the item will be on display in a special area for the duration of the cruise. All entrants will receive a prize. Last year, there were a few children who took part, and organizers are hoping to attract more this year. The children are not allowed to cruise, only to display their vehicles. This is one more way that Bellefonte Cruise 2016 wants to make this year’s cruise family-friendly. This is meant to be a family activity and there are features to entice everyone.

Donate the tools and materials that help us build a greater good.

From the food, the new MarketPlace, the music and, of course, all the cars to view, it is a standout among Father’s Day activities. Something new this year is the soap box derby. For many years, DuBois had the lead in soap box derby activities and many Bellefonte residents traveled there to take part. Now the roles are beginning to shift, and it appears that once more Bellefonte will take the lead. The idea for soap box derbies grew out of a photography assignment made to Myron Scott in Dayton, Ohio. He saw boys racing homemade cars in the summer of 1933. From that experience, he created the first soap box derby. Eventually, Chevrolet and Akron civic leaders moved the track site to Akron because of its hilly terrain. This area is District 8 of the national Soap Box Derby organization and includes Washington, D.C., Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Virginia and Pennsylvania. Friday, June 10, is the next race in Dubois. Local racers must race in the closest race city to where they live. Bellefonte Cruise is working on a soap box to display at the show.

THERE’S NOTHING quite like the Bellefonte Cruise. Car enthusiasts pack the streets of downtown Bellefonte. Workman Auto, Stocker Chevrolet, Restek, Bath Fitter, Eagle Riders, Centre Line Riders, Jabco Auto Sales, Extreme Custom Cycles, M & M Copy Service and Brothers Pizza.

The hope this year is that the cruise will again provide Bellefonte High School students the opportunity to go further in the pursuit of their career choices through a scholarship fund. Entertainment will be an integral part of the Bellefonte Cruise Weekend, starting with a sock hop on the Diamond, 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. Friday, June 17.

Bellefonte businesses gear up for the cruise By VINCENT CORSO correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — With up to 20,000 people visiting the Friday and Saturday over Father’s Day weekend, the Bellefonte Cruise offers a chance for local shops to drive in some extra business and new faces. “The cruise is just a wonderful thing for Bellefonte. A lot of locals and outside people flock to Bellefonte for the cruise, making this a fun place to be,” said Ciara Semack, who runs the Blonde Bistro on Allegheny Street. Semack said that she usually doesn’t see a lot of extra customers coming in to sit down, because many are there for the food vendors. But, she sells Penn State Creamery ice cream outside the shop, and does other things to draw in the crowds.

This year she plans on having local distillery Big Springs do a tasting during the day inside the restaurant. Down on High Street, Jeanne Butler, manager at the Governor’s Pub, said they plan on being prepared for the crowds with extra staff on board and plenty of food and drink in stock. “It usually gets pretty busy in here for the cruise, more than a typical day, especially during lunch, with people getting warm and wanting to have a place to sit down and relax,” said Butler. “It is something that we plan for every year, like graduation weekend, making sure we are ready to go.” On the corner of Allegheny and High streets, Courthouse Crepes plans on opening in early June, and coowner Gary Miller said he hopes the cruise gives customers a chance to check out the new place. “I am excited to be a part of the cruise, because it is

such a fun time and good, positive thing for Bellefonte, which is such a great town. We are going to be serving soft-serve ice cream and other things right outside, and hopefully giving people a chance to see what we are all about.” Miller also said that his business will have its grand opening the week before the cruise, on Friday, June 10. He expects people to still be curious about the new place located in the spot where the Dairy Queen used to be during the cruise. At the Bellefonte Wok, owner Endi Lu said that he sees more foot traffic come in during the cruise with all the people in town. But, his takeout business goes down because parking is difficult with all the cars on the street. His business evens out during the cruise, but he feels the event is important for Bellefonte and something the whole town can take pride in.

Storybook Season Bellefonte baseball squad has endured its share of ups and downs By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The final chapter in the story of the 2016 Bellefonte Red Raider baseball team will be written Thursday, June 16, when the Raiders take on Susquehanna Township in the PIAA Class AAA state championship game at 6:30 p.m. at Medlar Field on the Penn State campus. How Bellefonte arrived at this juncture and the fact that this chapter is being written at all are parts of one of the most captivating stories in District 6 baseball in a long time. There was little fanfare back on May 24 when the Raiders entered the District 6 playoffs as the fifth —and last — seed in the AAA bracket. After all, Bellefonte got off to a miserable start in 2016 and fought game by game just to get back close to .500 by the end of the regular season. Greater Johnstown, one seed higher, probably noticed something when Bellefonte 10-runned them in the first round of the tournament, but that game was played just for the right to match up with rested and No. 1 seeded Somerset. Yet Somerset didn’t fare much better against the Raiders. In fact, Somerset didn’t score a run in Bellefonte’s 2-0 win and didn’t have much of a clue against Raider pitchers Adam Armstrong and Dominic Masullo. Hollidaysburg was next on June 1 in the district final with a berth in the state tournament on the line. It was in this game that the Raiders established the fact that they could come back, in pressure situations, to win. Down 4-2 late, Bellefonte scored five runs in its last two at bats and overtook Hollidaysburg for a 7-5 win and the D6 championship. Somerset was one thing, but now as District 6’s lone representative in the state

TIM WEIGHT/Gazette file photo

BELLEFONTE PITCHER Dom Masullo has been a force for the Red Raiders in 2016. tournament, Bellefonte traveled to Fox Chapel High School to take on the No. 1 seed from District 7 and WPIAL champion Chartiers Valley. The Raiders stuck to the program against the Colts — no-mistake defense, solid pitching and some late offense — and pulled off a 2-1 win in what many people called a major upset. Masullo and senior Kyle Mellot did the work on the mound for Bellefonte, with Masullo getting the win in five innings of two-hit pitching. On June 9, in the state quarterfinals, it was another No. 1 seed, this time District 10 champion Erie Cathedral Prep. With first starter Masullo unavailable after his

win over Chartiers Valley, Bellefonte started Armstrong against Prep. Armstrong was given just one run to work with, on an RBI by junior Tyler Kreger, but he made that run stand up. Armstrong pitched a complete-game, one-hit shutout, striking out four and walking only one, as the Raiders advanced to the semifinals after their 1-0 win. On June 13, with a trip to the state final at Penn State in sight, Bellefonte took on Hamburg (3-3) at Greene Township Park in Scotland. In almost a flashback to the D6 championship game against Hollidaysburg, Bellefonte scored four runs in its final two at bats to surge past the Hawks for an exciting

6-5 win. Storm Smith lined a two-out, twoon double in the bottom of the seventh inning that scored Tanner Helms and Cade Fortney with the tying and winning runs. Masullo, in four innings of relief, took the win and the Raiders advanced to the state final for the first time in their history. Now, the Raiders will face Susquehanna Township from Harrisburg for the state championship. Any resemblances between Bellefonte and Susquehanna may be coincidental, but there are many of them. The Indians’ road to the finals in not unlike Bellefonte’s. There was a close 6-5 win against highly talented (and perhaps favored to win it all) Archbishop Wood out of District 12. Then came a 10-0 blowout of District 11’s Palmerton, before a tense, 1-0 victory over North Pocono in the semifinals. In the North Pocono game, the Indians’ Eli Weikert looped an RBI single into right field in the top of the seventh inning. Susquehanna pitcher Austin Dressler, who struck out 13 in the game, then wrapped things up in the bottom of the inning to send his team into the finals. Beside Dressler, Susquehanna has two other pitchers who have impressive postseason wins — Ben Moser (2.00 ERA) and Dan Warshawsky (2.81 ERA). At the plate, the Indians are led by Chris Ciotti, who is hitting .410 and will play for LaSalle University next year, Jake Pae, Dressler, Warshawsky, Rhyce Hammacker and Weikert. Susquehanna Township finished as the No. 3 seed out of District 3 and is 19-8 for the season. Like Bellefonte, the Indians are hitting their stride at just the right time. And also like Bellefonte, they always seem to come up with another outstanding performance or another great play at precisely the time they’re needed most. If these playoffs are any indication of what is to come, no lead will be safe in this game until the final out is made.

Bellefonte’s season ends with lopsided loss to Yough By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

CRESSON — At this level, the adage goes, everybody is good. In the case of the Yough High School softball team in its PIAA Class AAA quarterfinal game against the Bellefonte Lady Raiders, it would also be appropriate to add a few more adjectives to that, such as hard-hitting, aggressive and extremely well prepared. In the days leading up to this state-tournament showdown at Mount Aloysius College on June 9, the Lady Cougars planned and practiced their approach to Bellefonte star pitcher Tara Baney, and then they executed it to perfection. Yough scored in every inning, connected on 12 hits and carried an eight-run second inning lead to a convincing 13-3 victory over Bellefonte in six innings. Third baseman Alona Sleith had three hits for the Cougars, scored three runs and laced a decisive, three-run triple in the second inning that sent Yough to an 8-0 lead. Five different players had RBIs for Yough beside Sleith, including two each by Aubrie Mance and Allie Harvey, and seven of nine starters hit safely in the game. Bellefonte scored a run in the third inning and two more on a Jordan Rockey hit in the fourth in an attempt to keep pace, but Yough was relentless. The Cougars responded in kind in both innings to keep Bellefonte safely eight runs behind. And on the mound, Yough pitcher Macy Mularski righted herself after the Bellefonte fourth and retired eight of the final nine Raider batters to wrap up the win and send the Cougars into the AAA semifinals against Donegal. “They (Yough) made some good adjustments,” Belle-

fonte coach Fred Caldwell said. “They crowded the plate, and as Tara (Baney) began her motion they backed off a little to take her inside pitching out. They did a very good job of looking down and swinging at strikes. They were very well coached and did a really good job.” Yough’s offense heated up almost immediately after the game began. With one out in the first, Mance reached on an error — one of four for Bellefonte on the day — and then came around to score after a triple in the gap to right by Harvey. Harvey didn’t stop at third, however, and scored on a missed relay-throw to give Yough an early 2-0 lead. The Cougars sent 10 hitters to the plate and scored six runs in a game-breaking second inning. Hayley Warrick, Kierra Waywood, Mance and Harvey all had hits in the inning before Sleith added the clincher with a bases-loaded, three-run triple that bounced off the wall in left-center field. “At that point, we were just trying to win an inning,” Caldwell said. “Just try to win an inning, and then hopefully win the next one.” Bellefonte started on that with a run in the top of the third after a triple by Baney and a wild pitch brought in the Raiders’ first run. Yough answered, though, with an unearned run in the bottom of the inning on a hit, walk, fielder’s choice and a passed ball. Yough also countered Rockey’s two-run hit in the fourth with another two runs of its own that put the score at 11-3 and preserved the Cougars’ eight-run margin. “They (Yough) answered right back,” Caldwell said. “I don’t think we shut them out any inning. They scored in every inning.” Bellefonte, Page 27

Philipsburg takes down Howard in County League play By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

PHILIPSBURG — Howard Hawk pitcher Ty Womer had no more than a temporary control blip in the fifth inning of the Hawks County Baseball League game at Philipsburg on June 12. That blip, however, opened the door for the Spike Island Pirates to put together a three-run inning and take a slim, one-run lead — their first of the game. Philipsburg tacked on another run in the sixth, and then held on behind the pitching of Josh Potter for a 4-2 victory over Womer and the Hawks. Womer pitched a complete game, surrendered just four hits, and struck out seven in what was an all-around solid outing. But he uncharacteristically walked three batters and hit another one in the bottom of the fifth inning when the Pirates batted around and scored three runs on just one hit — a leadoff single by A.J. Robinson. Spike Island scored its runs on a basesloaded walk to Derek Shaw, a hit batter (Drew Bryan) with the bases loaded and an RBI fielder’s choice grounder by Brandon Quay. And after a shaky start, Potter recovered and did not allow a runner to reach second base once he was given the lead. “Ty (Womer) lost his command a little bit,” Howard coach Jim Gardner said. “I don’t think they (Philipsburg) had a lot of hits, but they manufactured runs off of what we gave them, and that’s what you got to do. “He (Womer) started struggling with his curve ball more than anything and then had trouble with some other stuff. He pulled it back together, but by then the

damage was done.” Heading into the fifth, Womer was floating along with a shutout and a tworun lead. He helped himself with an RBI single in the first inning that scored Brandon Gettig, who also singled. Kyle Womer made it 2-0 with a long home run, into a strong wind, over the leftcenter field wall in the top of the fourth. “That was a fast ball, up and in,” Potter said. “He (Kyle Womer) swings hard and he got a hold of it. He’s a good hitter and has power, and I knew that. It was a firstpitch fastball, and he jumped on it.” Ty Womer then set down the Pirates 1-2-3 in the bottom of the fourth inning. Up to that point, Philipsburg put just two men on base — both on singles — and there was no indication that Ty Womer was about to slow down. But after Robinson’s leadoff single in the fifth, Cody Doran reached on an error to put runners on first and second with none out. Mike Marcinko followed with a fly-out to center, but then in quick succession, Josh Earnest walked to load the bases. Shaw walked to force in the first run, Bryan was hit by a pitch to force in the second run, and then Quay grounded into a fielder’s choice, bringing in Earnest and making the score 3-2. The three walks were the first ones issued by Ty Womer in the game. The Pirates made it 4-2 in the sixth on a walk to Robinson, a single by Doran, a fielder’s choice out and then an RBI groundout by Earnest. In all, Spike Island scored all of its runs on just two hits, but the four runs were more than enough for Potter. “In the two games I’ve pitched so far, we got down early,” Potter said, “and then the fourth, fifth inning we came back. I have confidence in these guys that they

So if I can hold the teams under that, I feel pretty good that we’re going to win.” True to his word, Potter set down the Hawks in the sixth and seventh without a threat to pick up the win and move the Pirates’ record to 6-1 for the season. “We had a tough game early on against

Spring Mills,” Philipsburg coach Bryan said, “but since then we’ve scored some runs. Today, runs were a little hard to come by, but we were able to get some. “We’re playing (undefeated) Clarence next, and we haven’t seen them yet. That’s always a good rivalry between Bald Eagle Area kids and Philipsburg kids, so it should be good.”

Bucs’ pitching continues to struggle JASON ROLLISON

As the Pittsburgh Pirates and their fan base anxiously await pitching reinforcements from the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians, one of their sturdiest hurlers is unexpectedly struggling. Through June 12, Francisco Liriano carried a 5.25 ERA, a 1.68 WHIP (walks and hits per innings pitched) and the worst strikeout-to-walk ratio (1.58) of his time with the Pirates. His 38 walks are the most in the National League, and he gives up 1.8 HR per nine innings. Since his arrival in Pittsburgh, observers have raved about Liriano’s wipeout slider, labeling it as one of the best in the game as measured in Jason Rollison is a swings and misses. Yet, Liriano has Pittsburgh Pirates had single-digit swinging strikes over commentator. his last three starts. Did his strikeout Email him pitch suddenly leave him? at jason@ With similar bite and velocity, it piratesbreakdown. has not, but what has left Liriano is his com. fastball command. Equally important to the left-hander is his two-seam fastball, which is wildly inaccurate this season. Liriano is hitting the strike zone with his fastball at just a 43.8 percent clip, down from a career mark of 48.2. While a 4.4 percent difference may not seem like much on paper, it takes just one pitch with a missed location to inflict serious damage. Without fastball command, Liriano’s best pitch loses its effectiveness. Without a second killer pitch to fall back on, hitters can key in on the slider without the pressure of finding themselves behind in the count. General manager Neal Huntington believes improvement for Liriano is not far away, and that a break to mentally reset is not entirely necessary. “There are times you look for signs that a pitcher needs a breather,” Huntington told Greg Brown during his weekly radio show. “In a perfect world, with a reliever, you work around him. You don’t want to just (skip a start) randomly, you do it if you want to work on something. He’s not been the guy we’re used to, but we’re also thinking he’s not that far away.” When Pirates reliever Tony Watson comes in to perform his customary eighth-inning duties, fans like to proclaim “Elementary!” when Watson works a typical clean inning.

PITTSBURGH PITCHER Francisco Liriano has had his share of struggles during the first two months of the season. Now, they may have to downgrade the slogan to “preschool.” The numbers are perhaps even scarier than Liriano’s. Watson’s 4.50 ERA is easily the highest of his career, and the highest since his rookie year. Through June 12, he has allowed 1.5 home runs per nine innings, an ugly figure for a reliever of any stature. His 2.1 strikeout-to-walk ratio is the lowest of his career since that rookie season, and is down considerably from his 2014 All-Star year mark of 5.4. The month of June has not been kind to Watson.

Expert Certiﬁed Hand Washing of Oriental & Area Rugs

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State freshman pitcher Justin Hagenman picked up another rookie honor this week as Collegiate Baseball named him to its 2016 NCAA Division I Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American team. The magazine announced its selections earlier this week. Hagenman is just the second Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American from Penn State and the first for the program since 1997. He is just one of 34 starting pitchers selected across the country and the only one from the Big Ten. Only four Big Ten picks made the team. He also took home All-Big Ten Freshman honors. Hagenman became the first Penn State pitcher to reach six wins since 2011. He started the finales of all of Penn State’s weekend series, finishing with an ERA of 3.84 in 82 innings pitched. His best outing came at Illinois, as he pitched 8 1/3 innings, allowing only an unearned run early and then two earned runs in the ninth scored after he departed. He also matched his career high of six strikeouts and allowed just four hits and two walks.

first three appearances this month, he has allowed seven earned runs in just 2.1 innings pitched. This summer will be a true test for Watson. He has accumulated 12 percent more appearances than any other reliever in baseball over the past three years, and the wear and tear may be showing through. To save Watson’s bullets for later in the season, manager Clint Hurdle might need to exercise caution and restraint with one of his most relied-upon relief pitchers.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State will open the 2016 football season with a 3:30 p.m. kickoff Saturday, Sept. 3, against Kent State. Two weeks later, the Nittany Lions will return to Beaver Stadium for a noon meeting against Temple, as Penn State looks to avenge its 2015 Week 1 27-10 loss to the Owls. Previously announced, the Nittany Lions visit Pittsburgh on Saturday, Sept. 10, at noon and host Maryland for homecoming, Saturday, Oct. 8, at noon. Ohio State travels to Happy Valley for the Penn State White Out, Saturday, Oct. 22, at 8 p.m., and Iowa visits for Seats for Service Members on Saturday, Nov. 5, at 7:30 p.m. Additionally, Penn State’s game at Rutgers is slated for an 8 p.m. kickoff Saturday, Nov. 19. Every Penn State football game has been televised the past 11 seasons and 275 of the last 277 contests overall have been on TV. Penn State will play at least one regular season night game for the 17th consecutive season. Penn State’s home contests against Minnesota and Michigan State are the only without kickoff times. Road games against Michigan, Purdue and Indiana are also without announced start times. Season tickets for the 2016 campaign, which includes five Big Ten home games for the first time, are on sale, with more than 3,500 new season tickets having been sold.

I am once again reminded of just how blessed I am and how fortunate that my life’s journey has offered so many magical moments. I am also saddened to see another senseless massacre at the hands of an evil being. So back to the blessings … .

LORD STANLEY’S CUP

After spending June 12 watching my son Ryan’s double header Junior Legion baseball games in Danville, we traveled straight to Pittsburgh. Our original plan was to simply attend the June 13 U.S. Open practice round at the historic Oakmont Country Club. Joe Battista is the Well, we got caught up in Penguin chief development fever and decided to travel to Consol officer for the Lock Energy Center to watch the Penguins Haven University win Game 6 over the San Jose Sharks Foundation and to clinch the franchise’s fourth Stanley a columnist for Cup Championship. StateCollege.com. Having the opportunity to be a part of the energy and excitement inside the arena was awesome. Even though you’re watching the game on the scoreboard video screen, you’re there with 16,000 of your closest “Yinzer” friends. It was almost as good as being there! As the team celebrated on the ice, we gave high-fives to complete strangers, hugged each other and, yes, even had tears in our eyes. The Pens are my hometown team and my first job after graduating from Penn State was with the “guins.” You can take the boy out of Pittsburgh, but you can’t take the Pittsburgh out of the boy. There is no harder “team trophy” to win than the Stanley Cup. It is as mentally intense and physically demanding as any championship in sports. It takes 16 wins over a two-month stretch of mostly playing games every other day. Congrats to friend and owner Mario Lemieux, general manager Jim Rutherford (who I grew up watching, as he was a Pens goalie) and coach Mike Sullivan for the masterful job of pulling the team together and playing their best hockey when it mattered most. Of course, the bulk of the credit goes to the players, especially the grunt guys and the youngsters, including rookie goalie Matt Murray. They all played so well and were the major difference in the championship run.

THE U.S. OPEN

On June 13 we had a wonderful time at the first practice round at the 116th U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club. It was a fun day hanging out with my parents, my wife and my budding golf partner, 15-year-old son Ryan, and running into plenty of old friends and PSU alums. I grew up just 15 minutes from the course playing youth golf at the old adjacent Oakmont East public course, which is now a parking lot for the VIPs and vendors. The professional players put on quite a show and are such gentlemen with the fans, especially the young fans. My favorite moment was when Brandt Snedeker told Ryan to keep practicing his putting. Just like at the Masters, Bubba Watson was a fan favorite, and we were in awe of the crowds that followed the group of Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy, Ricky Fowler and Smylie Kaufman. We also gave a “We Are” to Penn State golf alum Kevin Foley on the 11th hole. He qualified for the U.S. Opoen and was accompanied on the course by friend John Cattoni, a Lock Haven University and PSU alum and friend. Not a bad two days in Da’Burgh!

THE GREATEST

I would be remiss if I did not mention how saddened I am at the passing of boxing legend Muhammad Ali. Most people loved and admired him, but some did not. However, everyone knew his name and he made history because he had the courage to be an agent of positive change in the world. Some of my fondest memories as a kid were of Ali and ABC announcer Howard Cosell and their antics. Long before ESPN, ABC’s “Wide World of Sports” was the gold standard of sports broadcasting. Ali helped make Cosell a household name and Cosell helped Ali’s reputation grow as a worldwide figure. Ali made “float like a butterfly and sting like a bee” and “rope-a-dope” a part of sports vernacular. His battles with Philadelphia native Smokin’ Joe Frazier were the stuff of legend. Their third heavyweight title bout was called the “Thrilla in Manila” and remains an iconic part of sports history. I had the honor of sitting at Ali’s table at a Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Disease fundraiser in New York City. By then he was just a shell of the man he once was but he still managed a smile and to kiddingly poke jabs at people who wanted a photo. Ali was imperfect, yes, because he was human. But he was an extraordinary human who championed life.

Penn State hockey announces non-conference game schedule By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State hockey’s 2016-17 schedule is finally complete, as the program announced its out-of-conference slate June 8. “We are excited for our non-conference schedule,” head coach Guy Gadowsky said in a release. “We look forward to welcoming schools from all around the country to Hockey Valley and play in front of the best fans in college hockey. “We’ll have a great opportunity early in the season to test ourselves in a tough environment against a terrific team like Notre Dame. And we can’t wait to play in the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. It is one of the best playing experiences we give our student-athletes every year.” The Nittany Lions will have two first-time opponents, facing Mercyhurst and Arizona State. In addition, for a fifth straight season, Penn State returns to Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center for a non-conference game, this time against Princeton. Penn State hosts Queen’s University of Kingston, Ontario, on the first Sunday of October. The game will be sold separately and was not included in the season-ticket package. The international game will serve as a tune-up to the season-opener against St. Lawrence on Thursday, Oct. 6. The Nittany Lions and Saints will faceoff against each other for a second straight year at Pegula Ice Arena with the series finale taking place Friday, Oct. 7.

The following week, Penn State heads to Northwest Pennsylvania to Erie Insurance Arena to face the Mercyhurst Lakers on Friday, Oct. 14. The Nittany Lions and Lakers have yet to meet in Division I men’s hockey. Penn State’s three-game road trip continues when the team heads to South Bend for a series at Notre Dame. The two teams met for the first time at Pegula Ice Arena in 2015 with a split. It will be the final meeting for the two teams as non-conference foes as the Fighting Irish joins Big Ten Hockey in 2017-18. The Nittany Lions return home for a 10-game home stand to finish out the fall semester. The first eight of those games are non-conference foes including a pair of repeat opponents from last season as Canisius (Friday, Oct. 28, and Saturday, Oct. 29) and Niagara (Thursday, Nov. 3, and Friday, Nov. 4) play in Hockey Valley for the first time. Penn State welcomes Alaska Anchorage on Friday, Nov. 11, and Saturday, Nov. 12, for a two-game set in a return of last year’s series in the Last Frontier. The following week, the newest members of NCAA Division I men’s hockey meet for the first time as varsity sides when Arizona State comes to Pegula Ice Arena. The series between the Nittany Lions and Sun Devils will be played Friday, Nov. 18, and Saturday, Nov. 19. PSU and ASU met in 2012 in the Lions’ first season as a Division I team, with a split at old Greenberg Ice Pavilion. That 10-game home stand is capped by the first Big Ten game of the season Thursday, Dec. 1 against Michigan, followed by the series finale the following night.

BOWLING BIG

JUNE 16-22, 2016 Battista, from page 29 affectionately known as “Mr. Hockey,” died. The Detroit Red Wing great played in an NHL record 1,767 games and still holds numerous other NHL records including playing, productively, at the age of 52. He was known for his intensity, toughness and grit. A “Gordie Howe hat-trick” consisted of a goal, an assist and a fight. But it was Howe’s affable personality away from the rink that set him apart as the greatest ambassador for the game and earned him the nickname “Mr. Hockey.” I had the pleasure of spending an entire day with “Mr. Hockey” in 1983 when he represented the Emery Edge Award given to the NHL player who led the league in plusminus stats. I picked him up at the Pittsburgh airport and drove him to the old Civic Arena. We had lunch and I later brought him from his hotel at Chatham Center over to the arena for that evening’s Red Wings-Penguins contest. Long time sportscaster Stan Savran interviewed him prior to the game and then I got to watch the game with Howe. He regaled me with stories of his time with the Red Wings and the Houston Aeros of the short-lived World Hockey Association. He graciously signed all autographs and posed for all photo requests. He was a soft-spoken giant of a man and his contributions to the sport of hockey will live forever. Last but not least, my heart goes out to the victims in the Orlando terror attack. We are all a part of stopping these senseless killings by making every attempt to promote good and to defeat evil, each in our own way. I believe in the power of sport to help us to unite people across the globe. I would rather see more Muhammed Alis and Gordie Howes in this world to inspire us all to be positive difference-makers.

Penn Staters play role in success of ‘Hamilton’ By AMY MILGRUB MARSHALL Special to the Gazette

NEW YORK — It’s hard to find someone today who has not heard of Broadway’s “Hamilton,” the white-hot hip-hop musical that won 11 Tony Awards, including best musical, on June 12. And the buzz is due in part to the efforts of two Penn Staters: Mike Karns, a 2011 bachelor of fine arts graduate in stage management and social media manager for the show, and Sam Rudy, a 1976 bachelor of arts graduate in English and the show’s publicist. Karns is founder and CEO of Marathon Live Entertainment, a producing and social media marketing company. He had previously worked with Jeffrey Seller, lead producer of “Hamilton,” who asked if he would join the team for the new musical. Karns has quickly established himself as a mover and shaker in the theater industry, serving as co-producer for shows like “The Great Comet” and “Allegiance,” which starred George Takei, social media celebrity and one of Karns’ clients. Rudy, founder of Sam Rudy Media Relations, had also previously worked with Seller, and said he was “thrilled” when he tapped him to serve as press rep for “Hamilton.” “It has been a singular experience in my 35-year career on Broadway,” he said. “Hamilton,” created by and starring Lin-Manuel Miranda, is about America’s first Treasury secretary, Alexander Hamilton. While the subject may seem an unlikely one for a Broadway musical, the show

1,300 seats in the Richard Rodgers Theater for each performance, but I have the ability to take you backstage and into the action through social media. I love being that conduit to the people who love the show.” In addition to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, Karns reaches fans through the show’s YouTube channel, which features the popular #Ham4Ham series, videos of special performances put on by Lin-Manuel Miranda for people who wait in line for tickets through the show’s lottery. Karns credits the Penn State School of Theatre with giving him the confidence to start his own business. “The program demanded excellence and nurtured entrepreneurship for me,” he said, adding he enjoys working with another Penn Stater, even though they never crossed paths as students. Rudy, a Centre County native, also credits his Penn State education and experiences as laying the groundwork for his career. “I am very Penn State proud and acknowledge that the terrific education I got there — not to mention my first exposure to theater as a member of Penn State Thespians — and the lifelong connections I made in college have informed my life and career beyond measure.” According to Karns, Rudy was the catalyst for him to get involved in the School of Theatre Alumni Group, where he now serves as president. “When I discovered that Sam was a Penn State alum, it was the first time I realized, wow, there are probably tons of alumni that I don’t even know

has reeled in millions of fans. “What I love most about working on ‘Hamilton’ is our ability to connect with many new fans of theater,” said Karns. “People who never dreamed of going to a musical are now riding with ‘Guns and Ships’ blasting in their car rather than the newest Drake track.” According to Karns, the biggest challenge in promoting “Hamilton” on social media is sharing the team’s excitement without seeming overly confident. “My work is a balancing act of trying to bring these fans along for the ride while not appearing to be bragging about these amazing things that are happening for the show.” In addition to 11 Tonys, this year “Hamilton” has won the Drama League Award for outstanding production of a musical, the Pulitzer Prize for drama and the Grammy for best musical theater album. In March, the cast performed at the White House. “I sat in the East Room of the White House and watched as President Obama cried while Chris Jackson, who plays George Washington, sang ‘One Last Time,’ about Washington’s farewell address,” said Karns. “A musical did that. I feel so unbelievably humbled to be a very, very small part of that revolution.” Karns said his job is not only to promote the show through social media, but to take people “into the action.” “I’ve learned that social media can serve to decrease the distance between brands and fans,” he said. “There are only

Renown photographer’s works on display at Palmer UNIVERSITY PARK — The Palmer Museum of Art is presenting a new exhibition, “Still Moving: Photographs by Steve McCurry,” now through Sunday, Sept. 18. Internationally acclaimed photographer and 1974 Penn State graduate, Steve McCurry is often on the move. Best known for “Afghan Girl, ”a haunting image of a refugee that graced the cover of National Geographic in 1985, McCurry continues to cross the globe in search of those “unguarded moments” in which the resilient human spirit is most evident, even in the face of war, forced migrations and natural disasters. Born in 1950 in a suburb of Philadelphia, McCurry studied film at Penn State before going to work for a local newspaper. After several years of freelance work, McCurry made the first of what would become many trips to India, traveling with little more than a bag of clothes and another of film, camera in hand. Within several months he had crossed the border into Pakistan, where he met a group of Afghan refugees who helped smuggle him into their rebel-controlled country, just as it was being closed to Western journalists. Embedded with the Mujahideen, McCurry brought the world the first images of the conflict in Afghanistan. His daring coverage of that war earned him the Robert Capa Gold Medal for photographic re-

porting in 1980 and launched his career as a photojournalist. In 2014, the Royal Photographic Society in London honored McCurry with its Centenary Medal for Lifetime Achievement. Co-curated by Palmer curator Joyce Robinson and Steven Rubin, associate professor of photography, “Still Moving” explores the breadth of McCurry’s remarkable oeuvre, including less familiar and recent bodies of work. Encompassing subjects ranging from intimate portraits to panoramic vistas, the exhibition also invites viewers to consider and look closely at the visual strategies that make the photographs of this peripatetic wanderer so captivating and moving. Robinson and Rubin will lead a gallery talk at 12:10 p.m. Friday, June 17, in the exhibition gallery located on the museum’s second floor. Dana Carlisle Kletchka, curator of education, also will lead a gallery talk at 12:10 p.m. Friday, July 15, in the exhibition gallery located on the museum’s second floor. Also on view at the Palmer Museum of Art this summer are “American Art in the Shadow of World War I,” through Sunday, Aug. 7, and “The Prints of Jules Heller,” through Sunday, Aug. 14.

AROUND & IN TOWN Doctoral candidate guides mural creation in Belize By AMY MILGRUB MARSHALL Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — Art education doctoral candidate Natalia Pilato never met the late Meridith Sanz, a midwife who delivered more than 1,000 babies in the western Belize town of San Ignacio. But after conversations with community members indicated she was a person who deserved to be honored — in a big way — she worked with more than 175 Belize residents to design and paint an 800-square-foot mural for San Ignacio that pays tribute to Sanz and highlights other people, places and ideas important to residents of the Central American town. Community engagement is at the core of Pilato’s work, both as a graduate student and social activist. “I have always appreciated art that exists outside museum walls, especially art practices that are collaborative and involve participatory approaches with community members who may or may not deem themselves ‘artists,’” said the Penn State School of Visual Arts alumna, who holds a bachelor of fine arts in sculpture and master of science in art education. The San Ignacio mural, “A Painted Conversation,” is part of Pilato’s dissertation research, which investigates how community-based artistic practices can be used for building the social capital of target communities, leading to greater social responsibility and democratic participation. “A Painted Conversation” is the fourth such mural she has completed. She collaborated with Elody Gyekis, who earned her bachelor of fine arts from Penn State in 2009, on two in downtown State College: “Dreams Take Flight” and “Colors of Music.” The fourth — “Children Are the Seeds of the Future” — is in Williamsport, where she worked as director of arts and education at the Campbell Street Community Center. In 2013, Pilato was one of only 10 students nationwide to receive a scholarship from Joy of Giving Something Inc., a nonprofit corporation dedicated to the photographic arts, in recognition of her leadership in facilitating community-based arts experiences. Pilato has followed a similar production process for all four of her murals, involving community members from the start. They help get input from local residents on the

murals’ content, and then paint panels for the murals, using a paint-by-numbers method. Volunteers also help affix the murals to their final locations. Pilato began her efforts in San Ignacio in 2014, working with students taking a social issues course at Galen University. She chose San Ignacio because she had previously lived in the region for 10 years, and had her two children there. Her connections in the community helped her to generate support — monetary, intellectual and physical — for her mural project. “I also knew the beauty of this place and the kindness of the inhabitants would enable me to be happy with my work and enjoy my time spent abroad,” she said. “I care deeply for many individuals in this region and thus was committed to working with them to implement the mural initiative.” The Galen University students interviewed 100 local residents during 2014. Their research resulted in the mural addressing issues such as diversity, community pride, youth ambition, and social and personal responsibility. During summer 2015, Pilato taught a Galen University special topics course on community-based art, where students learned design principles and painting techniques, as well as how to participate in civic and community relations. Eve Aird, provost of Galen University, said the student participants benefited greatly, learning about collaboration and community building. “Perhaps most importantly, it gave our students a greater sense of self-worth, a sense of accomplishment. This course made them feel like they can create beauty. … It gave them hope for the future.” The students and community volunteers finished painting the panels during the summer and fall of 2015, and the mural was installed in November 2015. In addition to Sanz, the painting features local children of different ethnic backgrounds, a poem written by a Galen University student, representations of ecotourism, and a tranquillo scene, in shades of blue with butterflies flying toward a “moon goddess.” It also contains the words “All ah we dah one,” Belizean Creole for “We are all one people.” Bianca Serrut was one of the many local residents who volunteered. “After working one day with Natalia, I fell in love with her personality and I fell in love with her great

We love how happy it makes us, to look at and admire the mural. There are a lot of local vibes in the mural and it’s something we can totally relate to.”

Celebrate 50th Arts Fest Art history graduate along Festival Poster Trail student explores body art STATE COLLEGE — The Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts’ posters — issued annually since 1974 — are treasured by festival audiences. And, this year, during the festival’s 50th anniversary, attendees will be able to enjoy many of those posters along the Festival Poster Trail. Sponsored by the Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County, the Festival Poster Trail runs through Friday, June 24. The trail is one of a number of special events on tap as the Art Festival celebrates its 50th birthday. The festival has distributed vintage posters from its collection to more than 30 Centre County businesses. Visitors can pick up a free Poster Trail passport at any participating location, then use the passport to keep track of their visits to participating sites. Once passports have been filled with 10 stamps, they may be deposited at Schlow

Centre Region Library, 211 S. Allen St., or the Central Pennsylvania Convention and Visitors’ Bureau, 800 E. Park Ave., State College. Completed passports will be entered into a drawing for prizes that include gift certificates to the festival’s sidewalk sale and a number of businesses. “The Poster Trail encourages people to learn about the festival’s rich history while exploring local businesses and organizations,” said Kathleen Raupach, Poster Trail Committee chair. “It’s free to go on the trail, just as many of the events the festival produces are free.” Lanny Sommese, the designer of all the posters in the festival’s collection, is Emeritus Professor of Graphic Design in the College of Arts and Architecture at Penn State, where he is also a Fellow of the Institute for Arts and Humanities. The oldest poster on display is from 1978, while the newest is from 2015.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Body art. Yes, we’re talking about tattoos. For some, they are a mark of rebellion. For others, they are a declaration of love … a creative outlet … an extreme display of fandom. For Karly Etz, a doctoral candidate in art history, they are the subject of her doctoral research. Etz studied classical art as an undergraduate at Denison University before coming to Penn State for her master’s degree in art history, which she received in 2015. “I pretty much did a 180. When I got to Penn State, I realized I was interested in the social aspect of art,” she explained. “There has to be an interaction between

two people in order to view a tattoo, and I think that’s really interesting.” Body art is an ancient practice, although, Etz notes, it did not become popular in the United States until around World War I and then experienced a reKARLY ETZ surgence in the ‘80s. Today, 14 percent of U.S. residents have a tattoo, according to research performed by the Pew Research Center and other organizations. If you look Body art, Page 34

Special Collections exhibit honors Arts Festival history UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — A recently opened Penn State University Libraries exhibit at the home of the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts’ official archives reflects back through a half century of artifacts from the annual arts celebration. The exhibit, “Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts at 50: Making Lasting Memories,” reflects on the history of the event popularly known as the Arts Festival, which brings more than 125,000 attendees to downtown State College and Penn State’s University Park campus each July. The University Libraries’ Eberly Family Special Collections Library houses the CPFA archives of the topranked festival, which began in the summer of 1966 as a nonprofit, volunteer-run corporation. To commemorate its semicentennial year, the Penn State University Archives is exhibiting materials from the CPFA archives, including programs, photographs, newspaper clippings, T-shirts, buttons, brochures and reports. The Arts Festival includes a nationally recognized Sidewalk Sale and Exhibition, performers of international and regional stature on outdoor and indoor stages, a massive sand sculpture, Italian street painting, BookFest, gallery exhibitions, Children’s Day activities, festival races and much more. Among the special features of the Special Collections Body art, from page 33 at those age 40 and under, one in three has a tattoo. However, not all those tattoos are visible. According to Etz, in the tattoo community, there is a difference between someone who “has a tattoo” and a “tattooed person.” “A tattooed person has lots of visible tattoos,” she explained. “If you’re hiding your tattoo, it’s not really part of your identity yet.” Etz got her first tattoo — on her back — at age 18, with her parents’ blessing. They both have tattoos and simply requested she get something “tasteful.” She went to the same tattoo shop her parents had used, and chose a black rose with a single petal falling off. She recently got her first visible tattoo, designed by New York City tattoo artist Amanda Wachob, whose painterly designs reflect her fine arts background. Etz is focusing much of her research on Wachob, who is one of a growing body of tattoo artists who are showing their work in museums and galleries, via paintings of their designs or, in Wachob’s case, photos on canvas of tattooed bodies. “Tattoo designs are now diverse in style and some even attempt photorealism. That shift has made it easier for a tattoo artist to be considered a contemporary artist, and makes them more likely to be invited to a museum to show their work,” said Etz. “Tattoo artists are artists.” Etz noted she is also interested in the performance art aspect of Wachob’s work. In 2014-15, Wachob completed a project called “Skin Data” at the New Museum, teaming up with neuroscientist Maxwell Bertolero to analyze the often-overlooked technology behind body art. While tattooing the project’s 12 participants, she and Bertolero recorded the time spent on each

Library’s exhibition are approximately a dozen historic banners dating back to the early 1970s. Banner artists include local creators such as Ronald Way, Ginny Cooper, Joan Schrock, Marty Edmunds, Joanie Eyster, Sally Bowers, Lois Rector, Teresa Shields, State College Chapter of Mothers and More and the Park Forest Middle School Art Club. In addition, selected artworks from participants in the Sidewalk Sale will be displayed, including a sweetgrass basket by Mary Jackson; photography by Pat Little, Gene Pembroke and Dan Westfall; graphic arts by Andy Van Schyndle, Bruce Reinfeld and Susan Loy; and other samples of the creative talents evident throughout the festival. The exhibition is open to the public 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays through Wednesday, July 29, on the first floor of Paterno Library. A gallery talk by CPFA executive director Rick Bryant will be held from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday, June 29, in Paterno Library’s Foster Auditorium. For additional information about the exhibition or the gallery talk, contact Jackie Esposito, university archivist, at jxe2@psu.edu or (814) 863-3791, or Paul Dzyak, sports archivist, at pjd106@psu.edu or (814) 8652123.

tattoo and the voltage required to create it. She then translated the numbers into visual representations, based on the voltage and tattoo machine’s pulse. According to Etz, it’s hard for some people to grasp HOW she studies body art. “When they think of art history, they think of paintings and sculptures. But if you put tattooing in the same category as performance art, it’s easier to grasp.” Etz chose to stay at Penn State for her doctoral work because she knew the art history faculty was supportive of her unconventional research topic. While there are no classes specifically on body art, she is able to study it within the context of other courses. “I do have to find a way to talk about what I’m interested in within my classes,” she explained. “When I’m choosing my courses, I find a time period that is relevant. For example, I chose Nancy Locke’s course on early 20th-century Parisian art because that was a time period when people in France claimed tattoos were a sign of criminality.” Sarah Rich, who specializes in American and contemporary art, is Etz’s adviser. She said that in today’s digital world, where people interact with others without necessarily having to deal with them in person, artists have rebelled by producing work that demands acknowledgement of bodies. “They may tattoo an image on skin — as with many of the artists Karly studies — or they may use the body as a tool of artistic production, maybe painting a canvas with a body part, or even generate performance situations in which they physically confront viewers in conversation or another kind of interaction.” According to Etz, tattoos — like other forms of art — provide insight into a culture and time period. “But it’s more powerful, because it’s permanent,” she said.

EXCLUSIVE TO the University Libraries’ Special Collections Library exhibit “Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts at 50: Making Lasting Memories” is a display of several handcrafted banners made by banner contest participants through the years, including this one depicting the Arts Festival mascot, a jester.

Cultural park provides internships for art students By AMY MILGRUB MARSHALL Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — In 2008, Penn State School of Visual Arts faculty members John Bowman and Ann Shostrom founded First Street Green with the goal of cleaning up the rat-infested vacant lot next to their New York City apartment and creating an “art park” for the Lower East Side community. After three years of planning, fundraising and gathering local support, their dream became a reality when they launched First Street Green in First Park in collaboration with New York City’s Department of Parks and Recreation and Partnership for Parks. Today First Street Green not only serves as a valued community asset in the Lower East Side, but also an important place for Penn State art students to gain handson experience in arts administration and event planning through internships. According to Bowman, FSG’s interns — who also come from New York University and Cooper Union — carry out a variety of crucial functions for the organization, including coordination of publicity and social media, logistical support and community outreach. “We rely on the interns for their expertise in working on the proliferating social platforms that are re-making our contemporary internet commons,” said Bowman. “They also help us with essential analog functions, like providing muscle for deploying our material resources in the park, placing seating, providing electri-

cal hook-ups for films and musical performances, and returning equipment to our storage facility after an event. In addition, they help to comprise the public face of our group, and serve very important roles in our public relations efforts. We are proud that they are from Penn State SoVA.” Shostrom said working with interns and other young people at First Street Green is an extension of their work as Penn State faculty members. “Part of what John and I do as professors is mentoring,” she explained. “A lot of teaching in the visual arts is about mentoring; you help students figure out what they need for their individual development and growth.” Elise Warfield, a bachelor of fine arts candidate in painting, is this summer’s First Street Green intern. She said she decided to intern at FSG because it sounded like a fun way to gain professional experience. “So far, I’ve gained hands-on experience with art space work and learned a lot about the management of ‘open art spaces,’” she said. “This experience will help me prepare for gallery work. Eventually I’d like to become a painter, and gallery work would be a good way of supporting myself while I pursue that goal.” FSG is currently raising funds for its fifth year of programming.

BUSINESS It’s deja vu all over again

JUNE 16-22, 2016

DANIEL NESTLERODE

One of the great advantages to being in the investment business since the mid1960s is that I get to see cycles and scenarios repeat themselves. It is unfortunate that the media, the movers and shakers in Washington, and the investment community lack this depth of perception, because adverse economic and government policies seem to be repeated all too Dan Nestlerode often. is the director Maybe this is just of research part of the learning and portfolio curve each generamanagement tion has to go through. at Nestlerode & Loy Investment However, I was under Advisors in State the impression that College. He can be “book learning” had reached at danielj@ some value, and that nestlerode.com. experiences could be carried and accumulated from generation to generation. It seems to me that, currently, most folks are focused on the here

and now, with little sense of how what is going on fits into the long-term historical perspective. Bearing this in mind, I want to take you back to 1980, when the former actor/ TV host and governor of California, Ronald Reagan, was elected over incumbent President Jimmy Carter. Reagan had been deemed an outsider, unqualified to lead the country, a cowboy (Europeans really didn’t like him), and — even worse at that time — had been divorced and remarried. Reagan first sought his party’s nomination in 1976 but was defeated at the Republican National Convention by Gerald Ford, who had been appointed president by Richard Nixon upon his own infamous resignation. In 1980, Reagan won the nomination and went on to be a two-term president, guiding the economy to its second-longest peacetime economic expansion in U.S. history. To be clear, I’m writing this from my perspective as a participant in the investment markets at that time and from my recollection of the events of the day. As we entered the beginnings of the Reagan presidency, inflation was rampant, unemployment was very high and the economy, as well as the stock market, were moribund.

The politicians of the status quo could not see any way out of this predicament and thought we were stuck in a perpetual lowgrowth economy guided mostly by monetary policy. Much more recently, we’ve had the same low labor participation rates not seen since the early 1980s, and although we have no inflation by the standard numbers, the economy has been stuck in low gear for the past eight years. So, as they did in 1980, voters today are promoting a Washington outsider to guide government and economic policy and perhaps get the American economy growing faster (above 3 percent per year) again. The answer to the moribund economy lies in fiscal policies that will encourage entrepreneurs to start new businesses, encourage the capital markets (including banks) to finance startups (privately, not government startups, please), expand hiring and allow corporations and small businesses to keep more of their earnings that may then be used for research and development, new plants, equipment and expansion efforts instead of for mergers, stock buybacks, higher dividends and executive bonuses. All of this would be helped if the gov-

PAGE 37

ernment rules and regulations were rolled back (especially Dodd-Frank, which has punished small banks and investment firms for the sins of the large banks and brokerage firms). We have the opportunity under the right president to pivot the economy to more growth, reduce onerous regulation to more effective regulation, reduce taxes on production and bring back the $2 trillion our corporations have parked overseas to avoid the 35 percent tax rates we impose on repatriated earnings (on which taxes have already been paid in foreign countries). Two trillion of new capital in our economy could make a real difference if directed toward getting America growing again. We, the American voters, rejected the status quo policies of Carter and his advisers and elected a president committed to shaking up the moribund policies and conversations of Washington. The excellent growth in the economy in the 1980s and 1990 is a matter of history and was a wonderful time to be in the investment business as well as a participant in the greater economy. We have that opportunity in front of us again. Let’s hope we don’t blow it. Too much depends on it.

New professorship to honor Workshop to present accounting tips for federal contractors pioneering Penn Stater UNIVERSITY PARK — Mary Graham, of Wilmington, Del., has created a new professorship to honor her late mother, who began her pioneering career in the sciences as a Penn State undergraduate. The Dr. Frances Keesler Graham Early Career Professorship will support promising junior faculty in the Penn State Social Science Research Institute who are pursuing related career paths. “Dr. Graham stood first and foremost for excellence, and the work of those who knew her profited because of the high standards she upheld,” said SSRI director Susan McHale. “My goal will be that this professorship continues to inspire her dedication to excellence in the next generation of scholars and scientists.” Frances Keesler Graham attended Penn State as an undergraduate from 1935 to 1938. As a young woman whose career aspirations in the sciences challenged the conventions of the period, she was grateful for the education, encouragement and opportunities she received at Penn State, which included a fellowship for her first year in graduate school at Yale University. After completing her doctorate in psychology at Yale in 1942, Graham went on to become a renowned scholar in developmental psychology and psychophysiology. She received many honors during her career, including membership in the National Academy of Sciences, president

of the Society for Research in Child Development, and Penn State’s Distinguished Alumni Award in 1983. “My mother always talked about Penn State with great appreciation and fondness,” said Mary Graham. “Her strong desire to attend Penn State led her family, notwithstanding the severe financial constraints of the Great Depression, to find a way to allow her to attend. She came to Penn State planning to be an accountant, but left with a love of psychology and desire to pursue an academic career, unaware of the limitations that others might impose on women’s pursuit of careers in the sciences. “She passed on to her children and others her love of all things intellectual and her belief in adherence to the highest standards in all endeavors. My hope is that this professorship will provide the same kind of support and encouragement to others looking to make their mark in the scientific world.” The Dr. Frances Keesler Graham Early Career Professorship will provide supplemental funding to faculty members within SSRI working in developmental neuroscience, a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field that Graham’s work helped to establish. The award will rotate every three years to a new recipient in the first 10 years of her or his academic career, providing seed money for innovative research projects.

HARRISBURG — Businesses can learn crucial accounting practices to help them get into the federal contracting marketplace at workshop scheduled for 9 a.m. to noon Tuesday, June 21, at the Harrisburg Regional Chamber, 3211 N. Front St. A contractor’s accounting system must be sound for federal contracts to be awarded to that contractor. DCAA Accounting Requirements for Federal Contractors will assist business people to establish an accounting system that will help them earn federal contracts. Alexis Kirksey, a compliance consultant with CFO Leasing Inc., will explain the role of the Defense Contract Audit Agency and the expectations of a contractor’s accounting system. A sound accounting system includes having specific written accounting policies

and an accounting system that can perform certain cost, timekeeping and billing functions. This presentation is recommended for corporate accountants, payroll personnel and small business owners who perform their own bookkeeping functions. There is no cost, but registration is required and can be completed online at http://pasbdc.ecenterdirect.com/ events/23243. The workshop’s sponsors are SEDACouncil of Governments Procurement Technical Assistance Center, the Kutztown University Small Business Development Center and the Southeast Pennsylvania Procurement Technical Assistance Center. For more information, contact SEDACOG’s Kristen Moyer at (570) 524-4491 or kristen@seda-cog.org.
