State High boys capture PIAA title By PHILIP CMOR Special to the Gazette

SHIPPENSBURG — Almost everyone else had cleared out of Seth Grove Stadium when the State College Area High School boys’ track and field team was taking a victory lap. It was a long, hot weekend at Shippensburg University, but the Little Lions were relishing the coolest of feelings after winning the Class AAA boys’ team title and capturing nine medals — including three golds — at the PIAA Track and Field Championships on May 27 and 28. “It’s awesome,” Little Lion senior distance runner Alex Milligan said. “Our school’s never even gotten a runner-up (before). To be the first to get the hardware is awesome. We didn’t even know if we had a chance.” Milligan won gold individually and as part of a relay, while Little Lion pole vaulter Griffin Thompson also ascended to the top spot on the medal stand. It was a big meet for Centre County athletes all around. Veronika Karpenko highlighted the State College’s girls performances by winning a pair of silvers despite competing with an injury, and Penns Valley’s Destiny Andrus was a triple medalist in Class AA.

State College clinched the boys’ team title by placing second in the 4x400-meter relay, when Milligan, Noah Oesterling, Tony Degleris and Noah Woods posted a time of 3 minutes, 16.57 seconds, about a second ahead of Downingtown West and nine-hundredths of a second in front of Milton Hershey. That gave the Little Lions 54 team points, one more than Downingtown West. “We rallied, and we pulled it off. That’s what it’s all about, coming down to the four-by-four for the state team title,” Milligan said. “We knew we had to get second, or, we knew we were ahead by three, score two less points than them, at the minimum. We assumed they would win (the 1600 relay), so we just did our best to hang with them. “We knew what was at stake.” State College maximized its chances by sending most of its team to states. About the only events in which the Little Lions weren’t represented were the hurdles, the 200-meter dash and the 400-meter relay. “We’ve always had talent. We’ve got a school of like 3,000 kids. But this is our first year having Steve Shisler as our head coach. He couldn’t have done a better job. It’s no coincidence that the first year he’s our coach that we get a state title,” Milligan said.

Pictured, from left, are Nick Feffer, Owen Wing, Craig Hilliard, Alex Milligan and Tony Degleris. The Little Lion 4x800-meter relay posted the best time in the country this spring in the state finals, taking gold by almost seven seconds with a time of 7 minutes, 37.25 seconds — the PIAA meet record and national record is 7:33.48. “We had the U.S. top time in the indoor season for a little bit. To take it back feels really good,” Nick Feffer said. The national honor roll time is 7:48.00. “This feels really good. Coming here last

year and running a fast time but still coming in third was almost bittersweet, but running fast today and winning the title was a cool thing to do,” Degleris said. When Milligan got the baton, the outcome pretty much had been decided. “I knew we were going to run fast. It was just a question of how close the other teams were going to be,” Milligan said.

BELLEFONTE — For more than a decade, Centre County seniors have been reaping the rewards of local farmers markets, roadside produce stands and community-supported agriculture programs and, according to Centre County director on aging J.R. Reed, the program is up and running again in 2016. “This is a great program that not just helps our seniors get good, nutritional food, but also helps our local farmers and food producers who have worked hard to bring these goods to market,” Reed told the Centre County board of commissioners May 31. “This program has been successful for us in the past, and there is no reason to believe it won’t be this summer as well.” According to Reed, county seniors meeting income requirement guidelines are eligible to receive up to four $5 vouchers redeemable at a number of approved produce providers across the county. These vouchers are only redeemable for specific fresh produce items. Reed said there are only 1,000 vouchers available and they are available one a firstcome, first-served basis.

CPI’s Van Horn heads to nationals By ANTONIA JARAMILLO correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

PLEASANT GAP — A student from the Central Pennsylvania Institute of Science and Technology was recently awarded first place at the SkillsUSA Leadership state championship and will now be heading to nationals to compete with other students from across the nation in automotive refinishing. Evelyn Van Horn, an adult student at CPI, had competed last year in the SkillsUSA state competition but lost and was unable to continue to nationals. This year however, she not only won her district competition, she also won the state competition in Hershey and will now be moving forward to compete in nationals which will be held in Louisville, Ky., Monday, June 20, through Saturday, June 25. “I was not expecting to win so it was very shocking and exciting when I found out I had won,” Van Horn said. SkillsUSA is a partnership of students, teachers and industries working together to make America a better skilled workforce, according to the SkillsUSA website. Its mission is to “empower its members to become world-class workers, leaders and responsible American citizens” by creating a program that trains students in citizenship, leadership, employability, technical and professional skills, according to the website. Starting more than 50 years ago, SkillsUSA now has 53 state and territorial associations, more than 11.9 million mem-

bers, more than 600 national partners and 18,000 classrooms that conduct SkillsUSA training, about 1000 of community service activities held every year and about onefourth of U.S. occupational areas covered by SkillsUSA curriculum, according to the website. With 100 different contests to compete in, Van Horn competed in automotive refinishing technology. “Automotive refinishing is just a fancy word for car painting,” Van Horn said. Technicians who work with automotive refinishing paint and refinish automobiles, trucks and buses. At the SkillsUSA competition, contestants in the automotive refinishing technology competition must be able to performs jobs and skills based on tasks outlined by the National Institute for Automotive Excellence and the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation, according to the website. Through a series of different workstations, contestants demonstrate their skills in surface preparation, spray gun operation, paint mixing, matching and applying, solving paint applications problems, determining finish defects, causes and cures and utilizing safety precautions, according to the website. After contestants finish, they are judged according by their finished products, speed and proper safety practices. “Each competition gets harder as you move from districts to states and from states to nationals so I can only expect for nationals to be much harder than states, though I do not know exactly what I will be assigned to do,” Van Horn said.

OWNERS OF The Greek in State College have added an upscale wine bar to the establishment.

Grand opening of wine bar adds new dimension to restaurant By HARRY ZIMBLER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — The owners of The Greek restaurant and University Wine Company have paired up to launch a new wine bar inside the restaurant, located downtown at 102 Clinton Ave. A grand opening celebration is scheduled for 5 p.m. Monday, June 6. The bar will offer a variety of wines — including Lion’s Roar Red and Lion’s Road White — produced at University Wine Company’s Centre County facility. Jeffrey Proch, the company’s principal, is excited about the new arrangement with The Greek. “This is a win-win for both businesses,” he said. “Patrons of The Greek will be able to purchase a bottle of wine to go with their meals.”

The Greek currently permits diners to bring their own wine to enjoy with their meal, and this will continue. The ability to buy wine at the restaurant now provides a level of service not previously available. “University Wine Company will benefit from the exposure it is likely to receive from its relationship with the restaurant,” said Proch. The Greek is owned by John and Lisa Dimakopoulis, who also own the Original Waffle Shop. “We are looking forward to a wonderful relationship,” said John Dimakopoulis. “This allows us to offer our customers an added convenience. Both The Greek and University Wine Company are familyowned businesses that can support one another.” “We love producing fun, high-quality wines to share with our friends, family and customers,” said Proch.

STATE COLLEGE — Former Penn State administrators who were charged for their alleged handling of reports of child sexual abuse by Jerry Sandusky are getting closer to a trial. Dauphin County President Judge Richard Lewis on May 31 issued an order setting pre-trial motion deadlines for former Penn State president Graham Spanier, vice president Gary Schultz and athletic director Tim Curley. The three defendants were ordered to submit pre-trial motions and supporting briefs by Friday, July 1, and prosecutors must file their answers by Sunday, July 31. Each faces misdemeanor charges of failure to report suspected child abuse and child endangerment. In January, a panel of Pennsylvania Superior Court judges quashed felony charges of conspiracy and obstruction against all three and perjury charges against Spanier and Schultz. PennLive.com reported May 26 that prosecutors also will drop the perjury charge against Curley in order to end Curley’s appeal for review by the state Supreme Court and put the three men on track for trial. “It is my understanding this decision was made to move the case forward at the trial level toward a final disposition,” a spokesperson for the Office of the Attorney General told StateCollege.com. The defendants argued that they believed former university counsel Cynthia Baldwin had been representing them, and that her testimony would not be admissible in a trial. Baldwin said she was representing the university, not the individuals, in their preparation for and testimony at the grand jury that led to child sex abuse charges against Sandusky. The court ruled even if that were the case, the university would have to waive its attorney-client privilege for her testimony to be admissible. Schultz and Curley were initially charged at the same time as Sandusky, and Spanier was charged a year later. After the Superior Court denied the state’s petition to reinstate the charges in March, the the Attorney General’s office announced it would not pursue further appeals. Solicitor General Bruce Castor issued an opinion that said another appeal was unlikely to be successful. The charges against the three men ultimately stem from whether they were told and failed to report, and later disclose to investigators, that Sandusky had been seen abusing a boy in a locker room shower. What then-graduate assistant Mike McQueary saw and reported to the defendants and late Penn State coach Joe Paterno has been at the center of the dispute. The incident was described graphically in the initial grand jury presentment, but the administrators and Paterno denied they had been told a sex act occurred, each saying it had been described to them as inappropriate “horseplay.” Sandusky was subsequently told not to bring boys into the locker rooms and the executive director of his Second Mile charity was told about the incident. Sandusky was arrested in November 2011 and convicted in June 2012 on 45 counts related to child sexual abuse. He is currently seeking a new trial under the Post-Conviction Relief Act.

showcase local musicians. This year, we have 23 artists coming in, with 10 of those being national talent,” Arnold said. He said national performers have graced the stages at the festival the past couple of years. In 2014, the first national performing artist, Jason Michael Carroll, took the stage. Last year, the festival welcomed Jo Dee Messina. “We reached out to Lucky Dog Management, the event planner for the Flood City Music Festival in Johnstown. That event has grown into a significant music festival. That is what we are striving for with Summer’s Best Music Fest,” Arnold said. He said that while the national names at this year’s festival may not be immediately recognized, rest assured they will soon become familiar names in the music industry. “While we recognize that the artists may not be familiar now, it’s a really big deal that they are performing at this festival. They will soon be well-known. If you like music, this is the place to be,” he said. The inaugural event was held in June 2007, and was started as a way to spotlight the talent of top-caliber local and regional musicians, Arnold said. The first festival was a free, three-day event. Stages were located on Allen Street, Hiester Street and Sidney Friedman Park. The festival has evolved into a two-day event on five stages, and, for the past eight years, it has also grown in popularity, according to Arnold. There will be two main stages in the Garner Street parking lot this year, which will require tickets. However, all other stages, including the Locust Lane and new Locust Lot stage, will continue to provide free entertainment. Another new feature of the 2016 festival will be two outdoor beer pubs. Festivalgoers will be able to purchase a beer at pubs located at Heister Street and Locust Lane, and will be able to enjoy music of surrounding stages while strolling through the beer garden. There is also an alcohol-free zone that will include the Calder Acoustic Stage and the Ice Cream Festival, hosted by the State College Downtown Rotary Club. The ice cream festival will feature creameries from across the state, allowing vendors the

opportunity to showcase their business and raise money to give back to programs and organizations that serve the community. Arnold said that expectations are that this year’s festival will draw a big crowd of music enthusiasts. The musical talent plus a fun, lively festival atmosphere makes for a perfect way to kick off the summer of 2016. “Last year, we saw between 4,000 and 5,000 people over the course of the two days. We are hoping to see a lift in that number this year and expect to see about 6,000 to 8,000,” he said.

The lineup includes the likes of Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds, Amy Helm and the Handsome Strangers, the Record Company and The Commonheart, among many other artists. “This is always a family-friendly event. This time of year, student traffic is light. It’s a perfect opportunity to go to a great downtown restaurant, and walk around downtown State College,” Arnold said.

PIAA, from page 1 On May 27, the Little Lion 4x800 team turned in the second fastest time of the preliminaries, 7:52.51. Owen Wing led things off before passing the baton to Feffer. Degleris and Milligan ran the final two legs. “I got a little boxed there at the beginning. I had a late reaction. I was just able to stay patient and work my way up through the race,� Wing said. Milligan’s individual gold came in the 1600 meter. The State College senior was pushed to the very end by Seneca Valley’s Mike Kolor and Downingtown West’s Josh Hoey, both of whom crossed the finish less than 1.2 seconds off his national-honor-roll pace of 4:10.17. “I was just going to hang around. I saw the one guy going out hard. I hoped he didn’t hold that. I was banking on it,� Milligan said. “I made a move at about 400 (meters) to go, and it paid off. Usually, I have a pretty good kick, and it held up the last 100.� He had advanced to the second day’s competition in the 1600 by running a 4:23.12 in the prelims. That put him fourth in his heat. Milligan finished fifth last year. “I’ll take the win this year. That’s good,� Milligan said. “I knew I had something fast in me. I didn’t know if it was today or not. I usually run well in the heat.� Feffer and Degleris both medaled individually in the half-mile, where Feffer took fourth by running 1:53.50 and Degleris clocked 1:54.17 to place eighth. “I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to make the finals. To get on the medal stand is really all I can ask for, and PR with it,� Feffer said. Both took second in Friday’s heats, Feffer posted a 1:54.99 time, while Degleris checked in at 1:55.68. “The four-by-eight was definitely the priority. The 800 was just the icing on the cake,� Degleris said. “Down the homestretch, I was just thinking ‘give it everything I’ve got, it’s my last race.’� Griffin Thompson picked the perfect time to have the best day of his career, pole vaulting a school-record 16 feet, 3 inches to overcome Greensburg Hempfield’s Hayden Fox and Hatboro-Horsham’s Nicholas Marino. Thompson had fun on the medal stand, having all the medalists take a photo flexing their biceps and then joking with the media not to take his picture if his hair didn’t look right. “We knew it was going to come down to 15-9 and 16-3, that those were going to be the deciding bars. All these kids have had shots at 16 feet, at 15-6. I knew it was first attempt over 15-9 was going to be a deciding factor. Getting 16-3 was icing on the cake,� Thompson said. “We really wanted to do that. We really wanted to put out a big effort.� Thompson almost made the state record of 16-7 on his final try, but just brought down the bar. He also achieved the national honor roll when he surpassed 16-0.

FOR THE FIRST time in the history of State College Area High School, the boys’ track and field squad won the PIAA team title over the weekend at Shippensburg University. Thompson said he couldn’t feel himself hitting the bar at 16-6. “I didn’t think it was that close until I saw the film. There was probably 4 or 5 inches where I was just floating, and I just nicked (the bar) a little bit, and it didn’t want to stay on. You can’t get lucky on every single one,� Thompson said. Thompson’s teammate, Lucas Gray, finished 13th, clearing 13-9. Kellin Valentine was a double medalist. On May 28, he placed sixth in the long jump by leaping 22-4.5. That was one spot better than he produce in the triple jump on Friday, when he went 46-1.25; Revaughn Dillard of Gettysburg won with a 48-7. Valentine came up a couple of inches short of a third medal, dropping out of the high jump at 6-2 with still 10 others ahead of him. “I didn’t worry about anything else. I just focused on my marks, and just trusted my coach and listened to him and just jumped as far as I could,� Valentine said. “I’m just excited.� Tristan Daman came up with a fourth-place medal in the Class AAA 100 meters, posting a time of 10.91 in the finals, 18-hundredths of a second behind the gold medalist. Daman registered a time of 10.80 in Saturday morning’s semifinals, when he was third in his race. In Friday’s prelims, Daman, who was nursing a hamstring he injured at the Mid-Penn Conference championships, advanced by virtue of a third-place finish in his heat,

finishing in 11.21. “It felt really good. I think I did most things right. I think the heat took a toll, but it was fun. My second race was around my PR,â€? Daman said. Ailing with a sore hamstring, Karpenko still was good enough to bring home a pair of silver medals. In Friday’s triple jump, her best event, she missed her personal record by almost a foot, jumping 39-2.5, but still came up just 3 inches shy of winning the gold. She followed that up with a leap of 18-8.25 in SaturdayĂ­s long jump, about 7 inches away from the gold. “Obviously, my hamstring isn’t better, so I’m glad I was able to snag second for both events,â€? Karpenko said. In the long jump, teammate Taylor Givens joined Karpenko in the finals and on the medal stand, taking seventh with her best attempt measuring 18-3. “I’m ecstatic,â€? Givens said. “I’m excited.â€? Rachel Wylie, Natasha Fedkina, Haley Crawford and the 400-meter relay also represented the State College girls on the medal stand.

Retirement blues: The great gap By the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette A new report by the Pew Charitable Trusts raises troubling questions about Americans’ retirement prospects. Many will enter their golden years with reduced financial security because they don’t have pensions or 401(k) plans. The lack of such cushions underscores the decline of the middle class, but the situation reflects other fault lines in U.S. society as well. For example, the study found disproportionately low access to retirement plans in areas with many small employers and in regions with many Latino or low-income workers. The Pew study of 104 metropolitan areas found that more than 40 percent of full-time workers have neither a pension nor a 401(k). Workers in the Grand Rapids, Mich., area had the highest rate of access to retirement plans (71 percent), while those in the McAllen, Texas, area had the lowest (23 percent). Researchers underscored the importance of getting workers to set aside money for retirement, if only through non-employer initiatives such as the U.S. Treasury Department’s no-risk myRA savings program, which invests participants’ money in Treasury securities. Of course, this is no replacement for the defined benefit plan that employers have largely abandoned or the 401(k) programs to which many companies now contribute instead. Lower rates of retirement security portend more reliance on government aid programs. That means we all pay for income — and pension — inequality. Policymakers concerned with their communities’ livability and economic health should make retirement security a priority.

Sensitive persons that we are, we also recognize that the noise control ordinance was designed not just to accommodate the work and family schedules of busy homeowners, but also to make it possible for lawn care professionals to ply their trade. Right now, though, everyone has a 14-hour mowing window. In the words of Tevye the milkman, would it spoil some vast eternal plan if we were to add a few more hours of quiet time to the beginning and end of the day — say, make the mowing time from 9 to 7 instead of 7 to 9? If you’re wondering whether I am hypocritically disturbing the repose of my neighbors by using “power equipment” to cut my grass, I must admit that I am. I used to have a rotary, muscle-powered push mower that was quiet, eco-friendly and therefore perfect in every way but one: It didn’t cut the grass. So now I have a mower with a rechargeable battery that is quieter than a gas-powered mower, but still loud enough to disturb an unreasonable neighbor of extraordinary sensitivities. Let me know if you’re with me on this. If not, I will start doing what everyone else in America does: block out ambient sound with manufactured sound that is piped directly into my hearing facilities. If I go that route, I’m not going to listen to music or news or audiobooks or podcasts. I’m going to find recordings of cardinals, catbirds, robins, jays, sparrows and the other visitors to my backyard that get drowned out by the sound of mowers, and pretend I’m hearing the real thing.

Cincinnati Zoo did the right thing By GARY STEIN Sun Sentinel

You want to know why people often laugh at animal rights activists? It’s because those extremists have no idea of what the real world is like. Their sense of reality is warped. Case in point: The gorilla who was shot at the Cincinnati Zoo so that a child could be saved. You’ve seen the video over and over the past few days. You’ve seen how the 4-year-old boy fell into the gorilla enclosure. You’ve seen the 400-pound gorilla, Harambe, grabbing the boy by his ankles and dragging him around a moat. Before the gorilla could do something that would result in the boy’s death, the staff at the zoo shot and killed the gorilla. They made the right decision. No doubt about it. No second guessing. They did what they had to do. Bravo. But now you have activists screaming and yelling about

the gorilla’s death. They say the zoo staff should have used a tranquilizer instead of killing Harambe. Nice thought, except the child could have been dead before the tranquilizer started to work. Ron Magill, communication director at Zoo Miami, knows more about animals than you, or I, or any of the activists who have been marching with signs. Magill, who loves wild animals passionately, said the zoo made the right decision. Every other zoo official across the country who has been asked has said the same thing. But you have the extremists like PETA and other activists howling about the death of this gorilla. Would have they have marched and screamed for the kid if he had been injured badly, or worse? Meanwhile, the child is going to be OK. And the protests and online anger continue. Are these activists nuts or what? Email him at gstein@sunsentinel.com.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

Osteoporosis risks lessen with exercise, medication HERSHEY — Osteoporosis is on the rise as 75 million baby boomers approach their golden years. Yet many patients and physicians are not aware of what they can do to prevent, slow down and treat the condition, which happens when holes develop in bone, creating a risk of fractures from falls. Dr. Christopher Sciamanna, chief of the Division of Population Health, Research and Development at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, likens bone density and strength to a bank account. From birth to about age 25 or 30, you make “deposits� by exercising and getting appropriate amounts of calcium and Vitamin D in your diet. Once you reach peak bone mass — which differs for everyone, depending on how many “deposits� you have made — your body begins to lose bone mass each year. Some of the loss is due to the natural aging process, while some can be attributed to a lack of use. “When your muscles pull against a bone, it responds by getting stronger,� Sciamanna said. “That’s why bones are strengthened largely by high-impact activities that include pounding and force such as jumping jacks.� Although men can get osteoporosis, they typically don’t develop it until much later in life. “Maybe it’s because they have more muscle mass that pulls on bone. Or maybe it’s just because they don’t live as

long,� Sciamanna said. Either way, more than 80 percent of those who are diagnosed with osteoporosis are women. Once women go through menopause, bone density loss accelerates. “Estrogen is a protective factor for bone, so once you lose estrogen production, you have rapid bone loss for about 10 years until it slows back down to age-related loss,� said Dr. Edward Fox, an orthopedic surgeon at the Medical Center. That’s why the over-50 crowd — especially post-menopausal women — is encouraged to increase their calcium intake to about 1,200 mg per day and 800 units of Vitamin D. DEXA (dual X-ray absorptiometry) scans are often recommended for women past age 50 and men older than 70 to measure bone density. Once someone is diagnosed with osteoporosis — generally by scoring 2.5 or less on a DEXA scan — doctors can use a variety of medicines to stabilize bone density and even improve it. “None of the drugs we have currently will restore your bone density to what it was, though,� Fox said. “We don’t have that technology yet.� While regulating calcium and vitamin D intake and continuing regular exercise can slow down bone loss, it can’t be stopped without medication. Fox said some patients with osteoporosis forgo treatment for fear of experiencing side effects that can be caused by the medications. Yet those older than 50 who

There

are high stakes,� Fox said. “In the first three years of taking medication, you can decrease your risk of a fracture from a fall by up to 50 percent, so I think the benefits hugely outweigh the risk of side effects.�

Study looks at how malaria invades red blood cells HERSHEY — The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum hijacks an immune system process to invade red blood cells, according to a study led by researchers at Penn State College of Medicine. Understanding how malaria invades the cells could lead to a more effective vaccine. Malaria kills about 1 million people every year, mostly children under 5 in SubSaharan Africa. Only one vaccine has been licensed, and neither it nor any others in development today will be 100 percent effective against malaria infection, said lead researcher José A. Stoute, associate professor of medicine and microbiology and immunology. Immunologists have suspected that P. falciparum, the most deadly malaria parasite, uses several mechanisms to evade the human immune response and invade red blood cells. Stoute’s team, along with colleagues at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research and the PATH Malaria Vaccine Initiative, showed that the parasite uses an arm of the human immune response called the complement system to do so. They report their results online in the journal EBioMedicine.

The complement system is made up of proteins that aid — or complement — antibodies that fight infections. In a successful immune response, the production of antibodies against a pathogen trigger complement proteins to coat and kill the invader before it can cause harm. But in the case of malaria infection, the researchers learned, the parasite turns this process on its head. Hijacking of the immune system has been demonstrated before in other infectious diseases, such as dengue virus. Stoute and colleagues hypothesized that P. falciparum can use a similar tactic. To test this, they first looked at the parasite in the test tube. In the presence of complement proteins, anti-malaria antibodies enhanced the growth of the parasite; when complement was not present, the parasite did not grow as well. Next, the researchers tested the idea using the mouse malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei. Mice that lacked a specific protein from the complement system had lower levels of the parasite in their red blood cells after being infected.

will likely be subject to a lot of scrutiny,” Stoute said. “Our findings suggest that development of an effective malaria vaccine that blocks red blood cell invasion is a more difficult task than initially thought. At the same time, we are now in a better position. By learning the malaria parasite’s tricks, we may be able to bypass them.” One strategy might introduce antibodies that are less likely to activate complement, Stoute said. Better treatments could also be developed, such as complement inhibitors for use in people with severe malaria. “We need to continue to explore ways in which we can develop, ultimately, a nearly 100 percent effective malaria vaccine,” he said. Other investigators on this project were Sergei Biryukov and Mary E. Landmesser, of Penn State College of Medicine; Evelina Angov and Michele D. Spring, of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research; and Christian F. Ockenhouse, of PATH Malaria Vaccine Initiative. The Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program funded this research.

Exactly how antibodies and complement work together to encourage malarial infection is not yet clear. The surface of a red blood cell is dotted with complement receptors, proteins that block complement from entering the cell and attacking it. “These complement receptors actually protect red blood cells from what we call self-attack,” Stoute said. The researchers observed the malaria parasite in contact with clusters of complement receptors on the surface of red blood cells as it was trying to invade. “We suspect that when complement gets activated by antibodies, the malaria parasite gets coated with complement proteins that normally would kill it,” Stoute explained. “Instead, complement proteins allow the parasite to bind to complement receptors on the red blood cell. That allows the parasite to actually stick to the cell and then proceed to get inside it.” Although researchers knew that certain other pathogens can hijack the complement system, this process had never before been shown in malaria. “Our results contradict the dogma of what the complement system does, and

Large increase expected in fall enrollment numbers UNIVERSITY PARK — After an unexpected increase in the amount of students who accepted offers of admission, Penn State’s University Park campus could see freshman enrollment of about 8,600 students this fall, up from 7,599 in 2015 and 8,160 in 2014. In previous years, despite the fluctuations in first-year class size, overall full-time undergraduate enrollment at University Park remained near the 40,000 mark. “Leading up to the May 1 admissions deadline, Penn State saw a surge in paid acceptances,” said Rob Pangborn, vice president and dean for undergraduate education. “While there is always some flux in class sizes year to year, Penn State’s popularity has grown. This year a higherthan-normal percentage of students who were offered admission chose to accept — a clear sign of the value that students and their parents attach to a Penn State degree.” In addition to the increased interest in Penn State, LionPATH — the new comprehensive student information system that Penn State is implementing — also may have played a role in the unexpected rise. Unanticipated ripples in getting the complex system to scale and mesh with major areas impacting student life at Penn State may have inadvertently created an increase in the rounds of admissions being offered. This is the first full admissions cycle under the new system. “We are looking at ways to minimize the impact of a larger-than-expected class size at University Park because we understand the balance that the university needs to maintain within our community and also the capacity challenges that come with a larger incoming class,” Pangborn said. “This was not part of a calculated growth plan, but an offshoot of a number of complex factors that came together in a positive way.”

To prepare for the increased incoming class size, Penn State is looking at a variety of housing initiatives to accommodate the incoming freshman class, including supplemental housing options, which have been used in the past; allowing returning students to opt out of their oncampus housing contracts without incurring a fee; and gauging interest from local students to commute from their family homes. The university also is offering a limited opportunity on a first-come, first-served basis for some incoming freshmen who were admitted to the University Park campus to spend their first year of study at a Commonwealth Campus through the “1 + 3” option. Students who choose this option would receive financial aid on top of the lowered tuition cost savings that can be realized by starting at a Commonwealth Campus. Additionally, a housing grant will be offered to “1 + 3” students who choose to start their first year at a campus with available housing. Those campuses are Beaver, Greater Allegheny, Hazleton and Mont Alto. “Education is one of the most important investments young adults will make in this life, and one of the largest investments,” Pangborn said. “Because we recognize this, and because the demand for freshman spaces at University Park is at an all-time high this year, we are sharing this Commonwealth Campus opportunity and other housing options with incoming students and their families.” In addition, Pangborn noted that due to the expansion of four-year programs offered at the Commonwealth Campuses, there are 600 fewer students transitioning each year to University Park to complete their degree programs than was the case five years ago.

Bald Eagle Area wins Nutrition Habit Challenge STATE COLLEGE — In an effort to improve the health of Centre County students and their families, the Nutrition Habit Challenge 2016 created the NHC School Challenge, a friendly competition among all Centre County school districts. Bald Eagle Area School District is this year’s winner. BEASD won a $500 donation to the school’s wellness committee, a traveling banner to display and two copies of “FUNdamentals of Fitness,� a fitness-based P.E. curriculum co-written by local authors Ryan Burke, of One on One Fitness in State College, and Penn State professor Allison Weimer. The district also receive complimentary invitations for two physical education teachers to attend a FUNdamentals of Fitness workshop. The NHC School Challenge was available to students, staff and families within the districts. Participants identified their district when registering. The winning district was chosen based on the number of successful participants divided by the total number of students in the district. Finishing a strong second was State College Area School District. Penns Valley Area and St. Joseph Catholic Academy/ Our Lady of Victory finished in a virtual tie for third, with Philipsburg/Osceola and Bellefonte Area coming in fourth and fifth, respectively. “The Nutrition Habit Challenge not only challenged us all as individuals, but allowed our wellness council to begin the process of putting our district wellness policies into action� said Danielle Butterworth, health and physical education teacher at BEASD. “The NHC started important discussions about increased availability/consumption of water in our schools, providing healthier snacks during celebrations and offering rewards other than food,� said Butterworth. “The NHC’s message that making small changes can lead to improved quality of life really resonated with us. Now that many of us have been successful, we feel empowered to support others in their journey toward a healthier

lifestyle, as well. “This has been a wonderful experience and opportunity for our friends and families here at BEA.â€? BEASD used these strategies to promote and implement the Nutrtion Habit Challenge: â– Inviting NHC committee members to attend the first wellness council meeting of the 2015-2016 school year with the superintendent and other administrators â– Showcasing the challenge on the district web page, including the link to register â– Teaching goal-setting lesson plans provided by the NHC in health classes â– Doing a “practice challengeâ€? in January using the lesson plan packet provided by the NHC with middle school health classes â– Sending district emails encouraging faculty, staff and administrators to participate â– Sharing personal NHC commitments among coworkers in conversations and asking what about their commitments will be â– Sending letters home to increase family participation â– Offering a district-wide competition and raffle for BEA participants “We heard so many inspiring storiesâ€? says Brandy Urbanik, physical education teacher at BEASD. “Many families cut out soda and increased their water intake; others started packing salads for lunch instead of going out for fast food. The NHC also inspired many to address their step counts for the day and increase their physical activity. “It’s been a great opportunity for us here at BEA. ‌ We learned that small changes can make a big difference in our health. It’s so worth it.â€? The NHC was created by Bruce and Kym Burke, owners of One on One Fitness in State College. “We created the NHC and NHC School Challenge to educate and inspire members of our community to make better choices not only with their diets, but also their

If we can accomplish that, then have the kids themselves take these new, healthy habits home with them where they can influence others in their families, we will have created a real paradigm shift. “This will undoubtedly make a very positive impact on our community’s health.� The NHC is a community-wide, grassroots wellness initiative held during the month of February. Participants choose

nutritional behaviors they commit to changing. The change must be significant enough to positively impact the participant’s health, but manageable enough to be successful at it for 29 days. Those who are successful for 25 out of the 29 days are eligible for a prize drawing that includes a trip for four to Disney World. In its third year, the NHC 2016 had 3,855 participants in Centre County and an additional 5,120 participants throughout the rest of Pennsylvania. For more information, email nhc@ oneononefit.com.

History comes alive at Boalsburg bivouac By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

BOALSBURG — Boalsburg honored Memorial Day with a host of activities this year, including a World War II bivouac erected on the grounds of the Pennsylvania Military Museum. Pup tents representing both the Allied and German soldiers’ encampments were erected, along with displays of authentic equipment and weapons used by soldiers during the war. Reenactors were on hand to answer questions from spectators and to demonstrate how the equipment works. The soldiers performed mock battles on a grassy area on the museum grounds May 28 and 29. William Michel, a member of the Furious Fourth Reenactment Group — named for the 4th Infantry Division, whose members hit Utah Beach in the D-Day invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944 — was present, and demonstrated some of the equipment used by soldiers. Michel, who lives in New Jersey, became interested in World War II history when he had a summer internship at the military museum as a Penn State student in 1997. He has returned to

Michel said that some of the weapons and equipment are reproductions, but much of it is original, culled from the estates of veterans who have passed on. Also on site was a 1942 Dodge WC-56 command car, owned by Roy Stewart, of Bellefonte. Stewart is a member of the 82nd Airborne Parachute Infantry Regiment, based in Blairsville. The command car is a Jeep-like four-wheel-drive vehicle that was used to escort high-ranking military officers to battlefronts during the war. The rear seat area includes a roll-out desk and other items, allowing it to be used as a mobile command post. On Saturday afternoon, Joey Vincent, from New Jersey, presented a one-man musical and comedy show to an enthusiastic audience of about 80 people in a covered pavilion on the grounds. Vincent, who performs about 100 shows a year in several states, opened his act with patriotic songs by George M. Cohen, followed by classic tunes from the 1940s and plenty of admittedly corny jokes. He also tossed in a few novelty songs, including “In the Fuerher’s Face,” a humorous, Hitler-mocking tune of the World War II era.

The bands are amazing and there is going to be plenty of yummy food.” The evening’s lineup includes Hops and Vines, Doug Irwin and Kevin Briggs, Biscuit Jam and John and Adam. In addition to the music, there are activities for people of all ages, including a bounce house, face painting, henna tattoos, a photo booth and a “Dunk the Doctor” booth. A silent auction will be held, and food and Rita’s Italian Ice will be available. For those over 21, beer and wine will be of-

fered. Artemis Massage, which has therapists who specialize in conducting oncology massage as well as traditional methods, will be on hand to give massages. This is Whittaker’s first year working with the Relay for Life team, which counts 15 members, six of whom were have been working hard to put the event together. Between her professional role and personal experiences, she knows first hand the importance of the American Cancer Society and what is needed to support those with cancer. “In working with cancer survivors, their families and friends, I have seen firsthand the needs that the American Cancer Society can meet,” Whittaker said. “It is personal to me because I have had family members affected by cancer that have needed all the support they could get. Cancer is a battle and it is fought with an army. By participating in this event I am raising money for people in my community that need support that the ACS can give.” Tickets to Rock for a Cure are $5 for adults and $2 for children ages 2 to 12; admission is free for children under 2. Tickets can be purchased the day of the event, or in advance from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Cancer Care Partnership in the Lance and Ellen Shaner Cancer Pavilion at Mount Nittany Medical Center, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Radiation Oncology Department in the Cancer Pavilion, or 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Tussey Mountain.

The Avid Gardener: The sweetness of June

LORA GAUSS

“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.” — John Steinbeck

Though I have eagerly been awaiting warmer weather, it seems too much “sweetness” has suddenly descended on all our gardens. There have been some shocking daytime temperatures already in the 90s. There are some sensible approaches I can follow this month to benefit my lawn and garden. This season, we may also need to protect against the Avid gardener higher-than-normal temperatures Lora Gauss lives in projected by the National Weather Philipsburg. Email her at community@ Service. As far as the lawn goes, warmer centrecountygazette. com. temperatures will begin to slow its growth and it will need to be mowed less often. It will help to set the mower blade higher to 2 1/2 to 3 inches to keep the grass from turning brown, as well as to mow in a different direction each time to help the wear and tear on the turf. The rationale behind mowing tall is interesting. It slows down the growth so the grass doesn’t have to replace as much foliage. Also, it doesn’t need as much water because it is shading the soil, which, in turn, prevents sunlight from reaching weed seeds in the soil so they will not sprout. The grass is less stressed, which leads to fewer pest and disease problems; it becomes more of a shelter to beneficial spiders and ants that feed on the pest insect eggs and larvae. And, one of the most hated local pests, the Japanese beetle, is discouraged from laying its eggs in the lawn, which can help control white grubs. When mowing, it’s best to remove no more than onethird of the green growth at a time and leave the clippings where they fall. They will decompose and add plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to the lawn. June also is a good time to check on shrubs. Shrubs are important because they define areas of the yard, screen views and act as a backdrop for flower beds. Summer flowering shrubs such as hydrangea or beautyberry can be planted now. It can also be beneficial to safely thin or move shrubs that are too close together, such as taking out every other one in a row of arborvitae. I have a winged burning bush that is diseased and has been declining for a few years; I’ll take that out this month (it’s invasive, so I’m not brokenhearted). Spring blooming shrubs, such as rhododendron and lilac, can be pruned once they are done flowering; so can the fir, pieris, daphne

and pine. Trees are often forgotten because they are the Old Faithfuls of our plantings — predictable and long-serving. They need care, too. If any trees were planted last year, it is time to remove support stakes because by now a tree’s root system should be able to support it. I mulch around trees (about 3 inches over the rooting area, not right against the trunk) protecting them from lawn mower and trimmer activities which could hurt roots and bark. It is also a good idea to avoid parking cars within several feet of branch canopies, if possible, because they will compact the soil and stress the roots. It is not healthful to attach anything to a tree that would cause a major wound, like a birdhouse, child’s swing, clothesline or treehouse; these all inflict harm. June is also a time to care for perennials. I plant any that I buy as soon as possible so that they do not dry out and become stressed. Plants that are grown from seed, as well as any plant divisions given as gardening gifts from friends, should be planted early this month, too. I mix in some organic matter (like mushroom compost) with the garden soil when these are put into the earth to give them a good start. I like to make a record of plants that look good together, nursery information (who has the best plant selection and deals), weather trends, etc., in my gardening journal; this information will be invaluable in the future. It’s fun to walk about the garden with a cup of coffee to take in the changes and enjoy the scenery, especially on a cool, dewy morning when all of nature is awakening. And, since some weather forecasters predict varying degrees of drought for this summer, there are some practical steps that can be taken to alleviate the effects of very dry conditions. These steps are outlined in a Penn State publication, “How to Garden During Drought Conditions.” Here are the major ideas. First, try to remove lawn grass from areas such as around trees. The idea is that grass needs more water than many plants because of its thick, shallow roots, so by removing it, those plants and the trees will benefit. Weeds also compete for water, so eliminate them. Second, save rainwater for your plants from your roof. Investigate adding a rain barrel that, once installed, collects rainwater from a downspout. Rain barrels and all the necessary materials for hooking them up are available in many home improvement stores. I had one on my Bellefonte property that was used faithfully, and even in a drought there was some rain to capture. I have also heard of using bath water or dish water (from the sink) to water plants, but, according to the publication, “in Pennsylvania we cannot use water that has

been in contact with people to water our plants.” So this, obviously, is not recommended. Mulching properly also helps conserve water, according to the publication, because it keeps soil temperatures cooler and holds more moisture in the ground. Two to 3 inches of mulch is recommended around trees and shrubs, 1 to 2 inches around flowers and vegetable plants. Roots need oxygen, so “mulch volcanoes” are discouraged. Finally, it’s recommended to choose plants that are advertised for their ability to survive “high heat, high humidity, and low water conditions,” whether annuals or perennials. Some that foot the bill include: ■ Annuals — sunflower, blanket flower, marigold, petunia, verbena, morning glory, phlox, salvia and zinnia ■ Perennials — yarrow (Achillea species), New England aster (Aster novae-angliae), tickseed (Coreopsis grandiflora), flowering spurge (Euphorbia corollata), statice (Limonium latofolium), serbian belleflower (Campanula poscharskyana), common yucca (Yucca filamentosa) and grass pink (Dianthus plumarius) It is important to inquire and read labels when plant shopping to find others for this growing zone. So, enjoy June in the garden. It’s a fabulous month for sitting back and enjoying the verdant beauty from all of that planning, digging, planting, mulching and fussing. Things are beginning to come together in my yard. Mason bees are taking up residency in my new bee condo, chipmunks are romping, goldfinches are nesting, flowers are blooming and my newly installed (by my brother Kurt) water feature is merrily bubbling. What could be better?

Curtin Mansion and Eagle Ironworks tours open June 4

SAM STITZER/For the Gazette

SEVENTH-GRADE SCIENCE students Lane Isenberg, left, and Harrison Reish release fingerling brook trout which their class raised from eggs into Sinking Creek. The students were participating in teacher Jessica Martin’s Trout in the Classroom project.

HOWARD — Guided tours of the Pennsylvania state historical site at Curtin Village — located along Route 150 between Howard and Milesburg — will begin on Saturday, June 4, and continue each Saturday and Sunday through Oct. 29. Tour hours are Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sundays, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tours are given continuously throughout the day, with the last tour starting at 3 p.m. The entry fee is $4 for adults and $1 for children 12 years and younger. In 45 minutes, tour guide John Romani takes visitors through two stories of the period-furnished Roland Curtin Ironmaster’s Mansion, built in 1830. The tour then

continues at the restored Eagle Ironworks furnace, the last waterwheel-powered cold-blast charcoal furnace in operation in the United States. The tour also includes an exhibit of unique antique farm equipment, Indian arrowheads and the personal carriage used by Curtin’s son, Pennsylvania Gov. Andrew Curtin. Visitors are invited to take an optional walk on their own through the workers’ village, which features a one-room log cabin. A picnic pavilion is available on the grounds.

Penns Valley science students learn about native fish species By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — Two seventh-grade science classes from Penns Valley High School gathered along Sinking Creek near Spring Mills recently to say goodbye to 10 friends. And, no, it wasn’t graduation — it was a release into the real world of the creek for 10 fingerling brook trout. The students received brook trout eggs last October and raised them for seven months in a large aquarium in their classroom. Science teacher Jessica Martin said it was part of the Trout in the Classroom program, which provides students with an opportunity to learn about the importance of preserving watersheds and native fish species. Penns Valley’s seventh-grade science classes participation in the program was made possible through a partnership between the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission and the Pennsylvania Council of Trout Unlimited, Spring Creek Chapter. “Having the trout in the class-

room made learning about animal cells, water pollution and adaptations relevant,” Martin said. “Students gained hands-on experience testing the water quality and interacting with Pennsylvania’s only native trout.” Keeping a stable aquatic environment for the trout is critical for their survival. “Brook trout are a cold water species and we like to keep our tank at around 50 degrees,” said Martin. “The students test the water for pH, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. They then apply this data to the nitrification cycle and figure out if the ammonia is being broken down into a safe and usable form.” The TIC program has provided an enjoyable and memorable experience for the students, according to Martin. “Trout in the Classroom students who have left my classroom years ago will come back to visit the new brookies and they always say, ‘Mrs. Martin, do you remember when we had trout?’ They never forget their love and experience with the fish, and that is what this program is all about.”

Penns Valley observes Memorial Day with services SAM STITZER

SPRING MILLS — Memorial Day is a day set aside to honor the fallen veterans of America’s numerous military conflicts. Services are held in cemeteries throughout the land, where the graves of fallen soldiers, sailors and pilots receive bouquets of fresh flowers and clean, new American flags. Some of those services have blossomed into townwide celebrations, Sam Stitzer covers with a long list of pePenns Valley for ripheral events, but the Centre County others remain simple, Gazette. Email him steeped in the tradiat pennsvalley@ tion of quiet revercentrecounty ence. gazette.com. One such simple service is held each year in the village of Farmers Mills. There’s not much to see in this tiny village on Ridge Road, near state Route 192 — just a few houses, barns and St. John’s Union Church and Union Cemetery, which hosts the annual Memorial Day service. There’s almost no advertising or fanfare, but people in Penns Valley know it’s there, and they show up every year. Nearly 150 people attended this year. They were issued flowers and small American flags, and then they walked about 300 feet up the road to the gates of Union Cemetery. Flag bearer Tim Zerby, of Centre Hall, led the congregation, ranging in age from toddlers to senior citizens, along a meandering path through the sylvan hillside cemetery, where they paused to lay flowers on the veterans’ graves as they passed by. A brass choir of Penns Valley High School band members played sacred music during the procession. Union Church member Bud Harris addressed the crowd, stressing the importance of remembering the sacrifices of the

deceased veterans, and lauding the courage of the family members left at home during times of war. “Let’s not forget their families, and the great pain they had to bear losing a son, father or husband,” he said. “They need to know we still care.” A Millheim American Legion member referred to the “almost visible presence” of the fallen veterans. As he spoke, it was easy to imagine a cadre of World War II GIs, World War I doughboys, Civil War soldiers in blue, and even musket-bearing Revolutionary War soldiers standing among the crowd in silent appreciation. Zerby read a roll call of veterans buried in the cemetery. The ceremony finished with a 21-gun salute by Millheim American Legion members, a Civil War cannon firing by Jimmy Brown, of Hampton’s Battery F, and the playing of taps. The service then moved to the Union Church sanctuary, which was filled by the large crowd. Patriotic hymns were sung, poems were read and then an address was given by guest speaker Brown. Clad in a Union artillery soldier’s uniform, he spoke of several Civil War veterans from the Penns Valley area, including an ancestor named Nathaniel Brown who is buried in Union Cemetery. He brought several uniforms and articles of equipment to show what life was like in the Union army. He noted that many soldiers died from drinking contaminated water and from amputations performed on the battlefield using unsterile instruments. He also explained the different rankings of the soldiers, and the roll of the three Army divisions of infantry, artillery and cavalry. The service also included prayers, readings and congregational hymns. On Memorial Day afternoon, another simple memorial service sponsored by American Legion Post No. 779 of Old Fort was held at the Lutheran and Reformed Cemetery on West Church Street in Centre Hall. Nate Summers, the post’s chaplain and a Vietnam War veteran, opened the service, and introduced the guest speaker,

Kerry Benninghoff, R-Bellefonte, to the crowd of about 75 people. Benninghoff shared memories of his father, a World War II veteran, hanging a flag on their house with great care every Memorial Day when he was a child. “At one time, I asked my father why he did this each year,” said Benninghoff. “He looked at me and said, ‘Because not every soldier gets to come home. Never forget, son. Never forget.’ “I’m grateful that we haven’t forgotten, and that you have taken the time to share with your family and friends about today, and not just for a moment, but as a lifestyle.” Benninghoff also said we owe a great

debt of gratitude to all those who fought to liberate and protect people in all the conflicts our country has endured. He urged his audience to also honor those listed as missing in action. “We pray for their families who have spent their lifetime trying to pay honor to their memories, with hope slowly extinguishing, as the years go by, of their safe return.” He noted that all Americans want freedom to worship, to vote or to speak their mind, but not all are willing to do what it takes to defend those freedoms. “I want to ask you to go today, and honor those that have fallen by not forgetting them, and sharing the message with others,” said Benninghoff.

Noteworthy national acts headlining Summer’s Best Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds will perform at Summer’s Best Music Fest at 8:15 p.m. Friday, June 3. For nearly two decades, singer and songwriter Arleigh Kincheloe was based in the Catskill Mountains of New York. She said goodbye to her hometown hideaway and moved to New York City to start the hard soul collective Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds. Since then, the group has performed more than 700 shows and made its national television debut on “Today.” The band has released three full-length studio albums, including the most recent, “The Weather Below.” Earlier this year, Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds finally released its first live album, “Fowl Play.” The album was recorded on New Year’s Eve before a sold-out crowd in Fairfield, Conn. It captures the unbridled live energy for which Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds has become famous and finds the band rollicking through catalog favorites, past and present. The band has shared the stage with Dr. John, The Avett Brothers, Counting Crows and Galactic, and has appeared on the festival circuit at Bonnaroo, Firefly, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, Bottle Rock and Forecastle. At 8 p.m. Saturday, June 4, Doyle Bramhall II takes the stage.

According to Eric Clapton, with whom Bramhall has collaborated for more than a decade, the guitarist is as one of the most gifted players he has ever encountered. Bramhall was raised in a home filled with the blues and rock ‘n’ roll sounds indigenous to Texas, thanks to his father, who played drums for blues legends Lightning Hopkins and Freddie King and was also an accomplished songwriter and vocalist. When Bramhall was 18, he was recruited by Jimmie Vaughan to play with the Fabulous Thunderbirds. His reputation blossomed and, two years later, he co-founded the Arc Angels with Charlie Sexton and two former members of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s rhythm section, Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon. Bramhall’s skills as guitarist won the attention of both Clapton and Roger Waters. Waters showcased the guitarist on his “In The Flesh” tour and accompanying album. Clapton featured Bramhall’s songs and guitar work as part of “Riding With the King,” his Grammy-winning project with B.B. King. Clapton then recruited Bramhall to join him on a full-time basis and their association flourished. They toured throughout the world and their interplay thrilled fans and immediately drew comparisons to past triumphs such as Derek and the Dominoes. Bramhall’s distinctive guitar work — he is a left-handed

Lady Mounties topple Ligonier Valley in District 6 semifinal tilt By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

PHILIPSBURG — Win and go on to the District 6 championship game at the Penn State Softball Park, and then into the PIAA State Championship Tournament. Lose and go home. Those were the stakes on May 26 when No. 4 seed Ligonier Valley came calling in Philipsburg to take on the Lady Mounties in the D6 AA semifinal softball game. No matter how many banners line the fences of the Philipsburg Softball Field, or how many times the Mounties have been through games like this, every playoff and every playoff opponent is a new challenge. And “challenge” is the correct word to describe the two runs Ligonier Valley put up in the fourth inning to even the score in this pivotal game at two runs each. The Lady Rams did not come to Philipsburg to lose, and the four sudden hits and two runs they produced were testament to that. The runs were also the turning point in the game, but in the exact opposite way that Ligonier hoped. Philipsburg was too senior and too poised to shrink in the face of its first bit of adversity. Instead of backing off or stepping down, the Mounties replied immediately. Three of the first four P-O batters in the bottom of the fourth hit safely, incited by Chelsey Henry’s leadoff double. Pitcher Cam Harris, Maggie Lucas and Kylie Thal all followed Henry with RBI hits, another run scored on an overthrow, and when the dust settled, Philipsburg had a four-run rally and an imposing 6-2 lead. Imposing and final, as it turned out. Stabilized by her team’s outburst, Harris allowed

The win earned a spot for P-O in the district championship against county archrival Bald Eagle Area, as well as a berth in the upcoming state tournament. No matter what the outcome of the BEA game, P-O will be playing on. “I thanked the girls,” Philips-

burg-Osceola coach Jim Gonder said, “because, you know what, we left the field last year not feeling so good. On a game where we had bases loaded and nobody out, and we didn’t get the run in. “But this team worked very hard, and they wanted to get into the championship game. Can’t say enough about our seniors, they were excellent leaders. Today we had one bad inning out there, but some clutch hits, some clutch base running, and Cam

(Harris), a freshman, pitched a real good game for us.” Two seniors, Henry and Haylee Hayward, started things for the Mounties in the first inning. Hayward singled, stole second and then scored on Henry’s twoout hit to give P-O a 1-0 lead. Philipsburg made it 2-0 in the third inning after a sacrifice fly by Hayward brought in Maggie Peck. Ligonier Valley, well aware of P-O’s ability to inexorably pull

away from opponents, put itself squarely back into the game in the fourth. Sara Klinchock, Kari Kuhn, Lindsey Stormer and Nichole Tuk all had hits in the inning, with Stormer and Tuk driving in the runs. With the game now suddenly tied, Henry began P-O’s response with a rope to right-center field for a double. “I’m in that four spot for a reason,” Henry said. “Coach Gonder has confidence in me, and I have confidence in myself. I wasn’t looking for a home run. I just wanted a shot. A ground ball. I just wanted to get my team (a chance).” Things went quickly for P-O after Henry’s hit. Harris followed with a single that knocked in Henry, and then after a fielder’s choice, Lucas knocked in Harris. One out later, Maggie Peck reached on an error, scoring Lucas, and then Thal followed with an RBI single that made it 6-2. Harris, now with the lead again, gave up a leadoff single to Lexie Petrof to begin the fifth, but she then settled down and retired the next six hitters in order. In the seventh, pinch hitter Kailee Lear led off with an infield single, but a strikeout and two ground balls ended the game. “I definitely felt good because my defense was behind me and we had runs up on the board,” Harris said. The District 6 championship game was scheduled for Wednesday, June 1, at Beard Field and too late for this edition. However, both teams will be in action again in the first round of the state tournament, scheduled to begin Monday, June 6. The D6 runner-up will take on the District 7 champion, and the D6 champion will play the No. 3 seed from D7.

Behind Pelka, Howard blanks Clarence By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

HOWARD — It did not take long — literally — for Howard Hawk ace Brian Pelka to recover his form on the mound in the Hawks’ 5-0 victory over the first-year Clarence Coyotes, May 29 in Howard. The 44-year-old veteran threw a threehit, complete-game shutout at the Coyotes in just his second appearance of the season and first since opening day. Mixing his fastball with a variety of deliveries and off-speed offerings, Pelka took care of business with only 58 pitches in a game that took just over an hour to play. Center fielder Scott Zuback supplied all the offense Pelka needed with a two-run single in the third inning, and the Hawks added two more in the fourth and another in the fifth as insurance. But, Pelka didn’t need any insurance. The Coyotes were unable to advance a runner to second base in the game and put just four men on base all day. Howard’s defense behind Pelka was

also flawless. Only one of Clarence’s last 15 batters was able to reach base — and he was erased in a textbook 6-4-3 double play. “I was a little tight to start the game,” Pelka said, “but with the heat and humidity, I just kept loosening up every inning. Just trying to keep the ball down and they were just hitting into the ground. “Didn’t try to do too much. Stayed within myself. Located my pitches, and the No. 1 thing is don’t be predictable. And we had some great defense.” Clarence put a runner on in the first inning when Dillon Schall singled, and then Tyler Bennett reached on an infield single in the second, although he was erased on a fielder’s choice grounder by Jordan Kobularcik. Designated hitter Jon Romine walked in the third inning and then singled with one out in the seventh to represent the final Coyote baserunner in the game. None of them made it to second base. Howard meanwhile broke through with the first runs of the game in the third. Wayne Haas and Evan Gettig both singled,

HOWARD HAWKS’ pitcher Brian Pelka delivers a pitch during a May 29 game with Clarence. The Hawks won the game, 5-0. but after two fielder’s choice outs, Zuback came up with two on and two outs. Zuback delivered a clean single to left, scoring Ryan Dyke and Brandon Gettig and giving the Hawks a 2-0 lead. “It felt better today,” Zuback said, “better than the last couple days. I had two guys on, wood bats, you have to be real selective and you have to make it count. You don’t get too many chances in this league any more with the wood bats. “He (Clarence pitcher Tyler Schall) got down in the count so I knew he was going to come back with a fastball. I was ready for it.” Zuback’s hit drove in the game’s winning runs, but the Hawks added two more in the fourth when Clay Smith singled and then came around to score on an error after a hit by Cole Long. Long subsequently

scored on an RBI single by Ryan Dyke. In the fifth, Brandon Gettig made it 5-0 when he singled and came all the way around without another hit. Gettig stole second, went to third on a bad throw to second, and then scored after a wild pitch. “Pelka did a real nice job today,” Howard coach Jim Gardner said. “He really kept the ball down, got a lot of ground balls, and we had a real steady defense. He mixed his pitches and really didn’t let them dig in. And 58 pitches, there’s the story, that’s pitching a great game. “Zuback came through there with that big hit, we manufactured a few more runs, and came away with a nice win.” The win improved Howard’s record to 4-2, while the Coyotes have yet to win a game in their first season in the CCBL and are 0-5.

PSU hardballers hold end-of-season press conference By ZACH SEYKO correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — On May 20, Penn State’s baseball team concluded its season facing the visiting Iowa Hawkeyes. After dropping the first two games of the series, the Nittany Lions fought hard and walked off on freshman Connor Klemann’s single to the left side of the field scoring the game-winning run in freshman Jordan Bowersox. It was an excellent note for the Blue and White to end on, as it was Penn State’s best finish since finishing third overall in the Big Ten and entering the tournament. The Nittany Lions failed to make the playoffs for the third season in a row finishing with a 28-27 overall record and 12-12 in the Big Ten Conference. They share a tie of eighth place with the Hawkeyes and Illinois. Penn State also must say its goodbyes to cherished seniors outfielder James Coates, first baseman Tyler Kendall, outfielder Greg Guers and pitchers Jared Fagnano, Nick Hedge and Jack Anderson. In addition to the players, two Penn State staff members are departing, as well. Student assistant coach Jordan Donmoyer and student manager Jesse Tull graduate with the group of stellar players. The seniors left more of an impact than just from a statistical standpoint. Since joining the school in 2014, coach Rob Cooper has worked closely with the players who played under him for the first three years of his Penn State career. The 2016 senior class left an inspirational mark that will guide the program going forward. “(The) senior group was such a good

group to be around,” said Cooper. “(They) were unbelievable representatives of Penn State. “They found a way to come out and win a game that, to most people, was meaningless, but they wanted to win. That takes a lot of mental toughness and shows what types of kids they are and what Penn State baseball means for them. “We had a great competitive spirit. Our guys really made the choice to show up everyday and compete and have a great mindset. That is something that really carry over to the future and be our mantra and who we are.” With the regular season ending, the Big Ten handed out its honors to the top players in the league. For the first time since 2012, Penn State players were selected for the prestigious recognition. Anderson, Guers, freshmen Willie Burger and Justin Hagenman and sophomore catcher Alex Malinsky received recognition for their outstanding play. Guers and Anderson were named to the All-Big Ten team. Guers owned a .313 average and led the team with six home runs and 38 RBIs, while Anderson was in a three-way tie for first place in saves with 13. Malinsky received the Sportmanship Award and the first-year players were members of the AllFreshmen Team. Cooper aims to take what they learned from 2016 and improve upon it with next year’s unique group. Moving the program forward from the competitive and mental aspects of the game is one of the team’s many goals for next season. “It is up to us as a coaching staff to keep that going and there is lots for us to continue to get better at,” said Cooper. “I want to play in the Big Ten tournament, I want

THE PENN STATE baseball team, shown here in action against TCU earlier this season, made great strides in 2016. to play in the regional. There’s a lot of work for us to get done.” Cooper is building something incredible with Penn State baseball, and it goes beyond the coaching staff. One of the biggest keys to the team’s rising success is finding players who are committed to the program and are willing to work hard. “We are trying to do what all successful organizations do, surround yourself with highly motivated, competitive, morally strong people, and come together as

a group to try and do something special,” said Cooper. The future looks very bright for Penn State baseball. Cooper is taking pride in the next group of young players and is looking forward to what they are going to bring to the organization next season. “Watching them grow, fight through adversity, figure things out. We have a good group coming in that are from good families and I am excited to work with them.”

Bald Eagle Area girls edge Central for playoff win By ZACH SEYKO correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

MARTINSBURG — On May 26, the Bald Eagle Area girls’ softball team defeated the Central High Lady Dragons, 8-5, in the semifinals of the District 6 Class AA playoff. BEA will now face the No. 1-seeded Philipsburg-Osceola Lady Mounties. The Lady Eagles came into the game playing inspired softball. Under first-year coach Don Lucas, who spent 31 years Penns Valley High School, the team is playing with a short-term mentality to limit mistakes, something that can propel the best teams forward. “It is part of the game. You have to have the ability to have a short memory, to let it go,” said Lucas. “Everybody makes mistakes and we’re not going to chew you up. Just go out and have fun; that’s what this game is all about.” Lucas knew entering the semifinals that the game against Central was going to be a tough test, but was confident in his team. The Lady Eagles had already defeated the Lady Dragons twice in the regular season. But, facing the defending champions again on their home field was going to be a challenge. “It ate at me all week that we had to come back up here,” said Lucas. “It is a real tough thing to do and (Central) has a great group of ladies.” The Lady Eagles were off to a hot start, as they capitalized on Central High’s early mistakes. In the top of the first inning, senior catcher Morgan Nyman led with a walk and stole second base. She later scored on a pass ball and Bald Eagle took the lead. Junior right fielder Brooke Woodward also walked on

the same inning and was driven in on senior first baseman Sidney Schultz’s sacrifice fly, netting 2-0 lead to build momentum. Freshman pitcher Zoey Surovec picked up right where she left off in the quarterfinals against Bishop McCort, dominating the first two innings. She allowed only one hit and struck another batter out, trying to set the tone for the rest of the game. In the top of the second, the Lady Eagles struck again to extend their lead to 3-0. Junior second baseman Madison Ripka started it off with a single to the right side of the infield. Next, sophomore left fielder Megan Kresovich ripped a single back up the middle to give the Lady Eagles two runners on base with no outs. Senior shortstop Mikala Smith did her job and moved the runners over by executing a sacrifice bunt. Nyman stepped into the batters box looking to do some more damage. Nyman grounded to the third base side, which resulted in an error and a run for Bald Eagle. The Lady Eagles were not finished yet, as the kept on moving forward with their outstanding play. Schultz singled to start the top half of the third before designated player Morgan Peters was up to bat. Before she went out onto the field for her second at bat, she received a pep talk from her teammate. Determined, Peters did just what her teammate told her to do — hit a home run. She crushed a no-doubter to left field, creating excitement from the Lady Eagle’s bench, and disbelief from the Lady Dragons. The Lady Dragons finally answered in the next half inning with two runs of their own, but the Lady Eagles followed up with two more runs in the top of the fourth to take a 7-2 lead. In the bottom of the fourth, Central caught

Central plated two more runs in the bottom of the fifth closing in on the 7-5 deficit. In the sixth, the Eagles scored a crucial insurance run to pad the score. Senior center fielder Dallis Dillon singled to put pressure on the Lady Dragons. Then, Schultz knocked her teammate in with an RBI-single to center to give Bald Eagle the 8-5 lead. “It was huge. Anytime you answer, it (puts) momentum on your side,” said Lucas. Sophomore pitcher Moreta Dyke relieved Surovec of her duties and shut the door on the relentless Dragons. In the final two innings, Dyke buckled down and recorded six consecutive outs to seal the deal and send the Lady Eagles to the championship game against the Lady Mounties. “We know Philipsburg well. (They) will be prepared and it will be one of those games where you can’t make a mistake or they will capitalize on it, but our gals will be ready,” said Lucas. “I am not going to change anything drastic. We’ll let them have a good time and let them play the game.”

State High girls capture rugby state championship By JOSE RUIZ correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — The State College Area High School’s girls rugby team capped off an incredible undefeated season by winning the state championship final May 15 against Downingtown Area School District, 19-7. When State High and Downingtown met earlier in the season, State High won by a huge score, but the final proved to be a different story. During the first half, both teams struggled to execute their offensive game plans, until Downingtown found space up the left side of the field for the game-opening converted try. Five minutes later the Little Lions responded, when Joannah Skucek put down State High’s first try of the game. The teams entered the half tied at seven, with very little dividing them on the field. In the second half, the tide turned for the Little Lions. State High nearly took the lead after a strong run from Larissa McGhee, but the dot-down was held up right on the edge. State High knew it was in

The game ultimately turned around for the Little Lions in the

55th minute when Sarah Mosier finished off a series of attacking forward passes close to the goal line. Downingtown launched a gutsy campaign from its own 22 and tried to get back in the game, but instead, Gigi Agliardo took the ball and sealed the decision with a try in the 65th min-

ute. Emy Booz converted the two conversions after the tries, giving State College a 19-7 lead that the team would not give up. What also made the championship performance from State High impressive was a blow-out win over the 2015 titleholder, the North Penn Valkyries, in the

semifinals May 14. State High used its defense to produce a 68-5 semifinal win over the Valkyries, allowing only one try. Mosier, Darina Roe, Skucek and Lauren Anderson all found a way to get tries, and Booz kicked an amazing eight out of nine conversions.

Cutch might not be Pirates’ best player JASON ROLLISON

It’s no secret that Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen is the face of the franchise. One need look no further than the multitude of commercials, merchandise and other promotional endeavors to see a sea of No. 22s. It could also be seen as no secret — a dirty little one at that — that McCutchen may not be the club’s best player anymore. Which is fine. Let’s review McCutchen’s first 46 games of the 2016 season, more than a quarter of the way through its entirety. Inserted into the No. 2 hole to ostensibly to have their best hitter produce Jason Rollison is a more offense, McCutchen is instead Pittsburgh Pirates striking out at an alarming pace. In commentator. being set down at 23.4 percent on the Email him year, McCutchen has the second highat jason@ est K-Rate percentage of any regular piratesbreakdown. on the team. His nine home runs do com. lead the team, but his run production has far been outpaced by Gregory Polanco, who is taking the exact leap forward that many thought he would do. Three of McCutchen’s home runs came in one game against the Rockies earlier this year, while Polanco has steadily been performing as a consistent RBI machine. But for Pittsburgh Pirates fans, the statistics above shouldn’t matter much. It’s a true testament to this team, specifically how it’s put together, that the club is not entirely reliant on one player to shoulder a load. In developing other starts, the Pirates have not only become a better team, but have also safeguarded themselves against exResidential/Commercial

KANG’S RETURN PHENOMENAL

It was hard to predict what Jung Ho Kang’s performance would look like as he returned from an injury so horrific that many equated it to a serious car accident. Kang has simply been phenomenal, with 17 RBIs in his first 17 games back. More impressive than his raw production is the type of hitter he has become. In having to rework his swing from the ground up, Kang has exhibited a new level of patience. This manifests itself in not only a lowered strikeout rate (18.2 percent, as opposed to 21.3 percent in his debut year), but also in waiting for the right pitch to drive. To the naked eye, it would appear that nearly all of Kang’s hits go for extra bases. While that may not be true, he has more than doubled his extra base hit percentage from 8.8 percent to 16.7 percent. Skeptics will point to small sample size, but rate statistics such as these give a good indicator of the type of hitter a player is regardless of how many plate appearances he has made. With Kang providing instant offense near the middle of the order, hitters such as Francisco Cervelli and Starling Marte could greatly benefit.

previously featured in this column, Waddell may now be feeling the effects of moving from college baseball to Double A in under a calendar year. In this past three starts, Waddell has failed to pitch more than 5.1 innings, with the nadir being his May 29 start against Bowie. Chased after completing just three innings, Waddell gave up seven earned runs on eight hits and four walks; this without recording a strikeout. The Pirates are bullish on Waddell, and rightfully so. Without dominating “stuff,” the lefthander will have to take his recent struggles in stride and remain focused on his craft. Waddell’s own history shows an ability to bounce back. The lefty went through similar troubles in Morgantown for the West Virginia Black Bears last year before earning a promotion. Waddell will now have to deal with the microscope being pointed directly at him.

Nittany Theatre at the Barn enters its second season By HARRY ZIMBLER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

BOALSBURG — For decades, the Boal Barn Playhouse served as a landmark summer theater that housed the State College Community Theatre. Today, that barn — refurbished and repurposed — is still bringing performances to the region with Nittany Theatre at the Barn. The rebirth of the structure was the vision of David Saxe, currently serving as producing artistic director of the Nittany Theatre at the Barn. That vision has seen the venue evolve into one that brings professional artists to the region to join those based here. As the Nittany Theatre company enters its second season of shows, the company is working to secure its share of the entertainment dollars available here. “We have to find our market,” said Saxe. “We want to become a small Equity house. The Barn offers an intimate setting.” In order to meet the requirements of various professional theatrical unions, the Nittany Theatre removed seats and reoriented the stage to create what is known as a thrust stage, rather than theater-in-theround, which had been the norm previously. “We now have 99 seats in the theater,” Saxe said. “I receive emails all the time from people who want to work here.” Can this region really support all the theater groups that are vying for ticket sales? Saxe believes it can. “In our first year we sold 43 season tickets,” he explained. “This year, we sold 209 season tickets. They are the backbone of a

theater like this.” The Nittany Theatre at the Barn invested a great deal of money and time to turn the Barn into a comfortable place to watch a play or musical. The improvements include things seen and unseen, including well-cushioned seats and rewiring of the electrical system. Two silent fans will run during performances to keep the barn comfortable for patrons. “Our biggest challenge is climate control,” said Saxe. “The Millbrook Playhouse near Lock Haven has done it and we are going to do it. It will be a real step forward. We can’t air-condition the barn, but we can use heat pumps to cool or warm the place. It will be a significant leap forward from what it used to be like in the Barn.” Governed by a small board of directors, Nittany Theatre at the Barn is a nonprofit. “The State College Community Theatre didn’t think the economics of the Barn would work for them. We have got to find a way to make them work. We want to keep the old summer stock theater alive.” The company has an angel in EBS Construction, a company with a national presence. Its founder-owner was influenced by David Saxe’s father, Earle Brian Saxe. “Tony B. was helped, as a young man, by my father. Now, he is helping us launch the theater in return.” The group now presents awards called the Tony B’s, and also offers EBS Internships. Saxe said that Nittany Theatre at the Barn will look for ways to stretch its artistic abilities, including producing non-traditional versions of musicals and plays. Last season, the company’s most popu-

New exhibit’s works mimic painting styles of ‘the greats’ UNIVERSITY PARK — The HUB-Robeson Galleries will be hosting Artes Exempli, an exhibition of examples of 19th- and 20th-century European paintings from the collection of Wolfgang and Brigitte Gunter, Tuesday, June 7, through Sunday, July 24, in the Robeson Gallery. A public reception will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, June 16. Examples of impressionism, post-impressionism, fauvism, expressionism, cubism and surrealism supplemented by videos and informational charts will provide viewers with a crash-course in European art history. The featured paintings, all completed by one adaptive painter, closely mimic the painting styles of “the greats,” including Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne, Vincent Van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondrian, Salvador Dali, René Magritte and others. The Gunters’ collection of fine art copies began while the two were living in China. During a trip to one of the numerous Chinese art markets, the couple came across a talented young artist. Wolfgang Gunter asked her to copy one of his favorite Picasso paintings. Shortly after, the three worked together for almost five years to produce around 100 paintings of various artists and movements. Wolfgang Gunter, a native of Cologne, Germany, received his doctorate in chemistry from the University of Cologne in 1976. His 30-year career in the chemical industry took him around the world, including Brussels, the United States and China. After retiring in 2003, he and his wife returned to the United States.

night of that show. So we are expecting it to sell out.” The 2016 summer season will also include “All Shook Up,” Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” set to the music of Elvis Presley. “The Complete Works of Shakespeare” — a Barn tradition — presents 27 of the Bard’s major works using three actors in 90 minutes.

AROUND & IN TOWN The Playhouse opens season with ‘Lend Me a Tenor’ MCCONNELLSTOWN — While there are no curtains on The Playhouse stage, the little theater is proud to “raise the reds” on its season opener, “Lend Me a Tenor.” Written by Ken Ludwig, this comedy has no shortage of laughs. Produced in London and New York in the 1980s, it was nominated for nine Tony Awards, won three Drama Desk Awards and nabbed the Olivier Award for Best Comedy of the Year. It enjoyed a Broadway revival in 2010. “Lend Me a Tenor” is set in September 1934. The plot revolves around Saunders, the general manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company, who is primed to welcome world-famous Tito Morelli, Il Stupendo, the greatest tenor of his generation, to appear for one night only to sing the lead in the opera “Otello.” Chaos ensues when the singer is accidentally given a double dose of tranquilizers. The sleeping pills have left Morelli’s pulse so low that he is believed to be dead. In a frantic attempt to salvage the evening, Saunders persuades his assistant Max to get into Morelli’s costume to fool the audience into thinking he’s Il Stupendo. Max succeeds, but Morelli comes to and gets into his other costume ready

to perform. Hilarity ensues as two Il Stupendos run around in costume while two women grace the stage in lingerie, each thinking she is with Il Stupendo. This chain reaction of mistaken identity leads to farcical plot twists, double entendres and musical mayhem. “I think ‘Lend Me a Tenor’ is an incredible comedic farce. There are hidden jokes throughout the show that will leave the audience in stitches and make them eager to see what will happen next. With such a colorful array of characters, people are sure love every minute,” said Jennifer Catanese, who makes her debut as Diana, the soprano willing to do just about anything to reach stardom. Keith Sutton plays Saunders, and Max, his assistant, is brought to life by Clay Glenny. Dan Weston portrays the over-the-top Tito Morelli, and Chris Wirt takes the stage as Tito’s fed-up wife, Maria. Jennifer Powell is Saunders’ daughter, Maggie. Shelby Metz plays the grand dame of the opera, Julia. Jeanne Nagurny directs and costumes this production. The set design is by Don Dietz, with sound design is by Rick Brown. Lighting is designed by Keith Sutton, with technical production by Barbara Hughes.

Penn State SoVA grad explores sexuality in new NYC exhibit NEW YORK — Penn State alumnus Devan Shimoyama’s first New York City solo exhibition will be on display at Lesley Heller Workspace through Saturday, July 9, with an artist talk scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 22. Primarily using self-portraiture and narratives reminiscent of classical mythology and allegory, Shimoyama proposes a new queer and black male-creation myth. His paintings explore the relationship between celebration and silence in queer culture and sexuality. Possessing an otherworldly yet familiar quality, Shimoyama’s poses and imagery have a reminiscence of the canons of old masters such as Caravaggio and Goya, though they have 21st-century sensibility and expression. Using thickly poured and splattered paint, sprayed stencils, black glitter, rhinestones and sequins, Shimoya-

ma creates silhouettes of figures that exist as wholly magical, yet universally human. “SoVA’s drawing and painting faculty provided me with an exceptionally strong foundation in terms of my work ethic and awareness of how to situate myself within the contemporary art world as well as within an art historical context,” Shimoyama said of his time at Penn State’s School of Visual Arts. “SoVA is a rare place in which a student can cultivate unparalleled bonds with both students and faculty. I often think back to when one painting faculty member asked me if I truly and passionately wanted to pursue a career in art. After ardently answering in the positive, I then was constantly challenged and pushed to become better. The faculty really cares and continues to stay in touch, endlessly supportive of their students and alumni.”

ESPN debuts documentary

UNIVERSITY PARK — “We Are,” a new ESPN 30 for 30 Short documentary, is now available to watch on ESPN’s website. Produced over the past year by Maggievision Productions of New York and directed by Joshua Shelov and Jay Bulger, “We Are” chronicles the development of the design and installation of the “We Are” sculpture, the gift of Penn State’s class of 2013, installed on the University Park campus in 2015. The documentary follows alumnus and

artist Jonathan Cramer’s journey to reinvigorate the Penn State faithful through the creation of his sculpture, inspired by the 1948 Nittany Lion football team that overcame racial adversity. Nittany Lion player Wally Triplett, who played in 1948, features in the production. The film premiered at the international Tribeca Film Festival in New York City in April, and was featured at the Friends of the Palmer Museum of Art Annual Gala on May 13.

Software company meets Certified B requirements STATE COLLEGE — West Arête, a State College-based software development company, recently was awarded Certified B Corporation certification for its high standards of social and environmental performance. B Lab, a nonprofit that certifies and supports B Corporations, conducted a rigorous evaluation of West Arete and determined the company met performance standards to qualify for certification. Just as coffee can be certified as Fair Trade and buildings can be certified as LEED, for-profit companies can be certified as B Corporations, showing they meet stringent third-party standards for how much social or environmental good they do in the world. West Arete now will be legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on their employees, suppliers, community, consumers and environment. “As a company, we have always wanted to grow and be successful, while still making a positive impact,” said Scott Woods, president of West Arete. “B Corp certification provided us with a road map for how to do that. “While each step toward certifications was a slight change in how we operated, it also gave us a much stronger sense of purpose. We’re excited to get out of bed every morning — well, almost — when we have a strong sense that we’re doing something important.” B Corporations are leaders of the global movement of people using business as a force for good. There are more than 1,700 Certified B Corporations from more than 130 industries in 50 countries. As a Certified B Corporation, West Arete shares this distinction with companies including Patagonia, Etsy, Kickstarter, Method, Ben & Jerry’s, New Belgium Brewery, Dr. Bronner’s and The Honest Company. Another B Corporation-certified business with offices in State College is architecture firm AE Works. West Arete also is a member of 1% for the Planet, is a bike-friendly business and works primarily on projects that do good in the world. The firm is pioneering a program in which every employee is given a one-month sabbatical each year. Woods recently spoke about developing the process at TEDxPSU.

Local tech startup earns $10K prize Loaded Creative wins

Expert Certified Hand Washing of Oriental & Area Rugs

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The Ben Franklin TechCelerator@State College has awarded $10,000 to a graduate of its latest Business Startup Boot Camp for entrepreneurs. The event, held May 24 and attended by other budding entrepreneurs as well as potential investors, highlighted the business startup presentations of six entrepreneurs who had gone through a 10-week program targeting tech startups. Each spoke about the market they planned to enter, the problem their product or service solved and how their idea will make money for them and future investors. The winner, Joel Edelstein, with Triglyph, developed an energy-efficient, smart lighting system for use in the film, television and photography markets. A team of judges from the community made the final decision on the winning presentation. The other presenters included: ■ Jack Chernega, with AbDisc, who developed a wearable tech device that specifically addresses the serious health issues caused by “sitting disease.” ■ Amit Sharma, with DeZI, who developed a smartphone application capable of creating supply chain links between local farmers and food retail establishments. ■ John Stogin, with Scribble Online, who developed a drawing app that allows multiple users to write on the same virtual page and talk to each other through VoIP. ■ Beth Kirchgessner, with Sights LLC, who developed an easy-to-use card pack that allows teachers and parents to provide more effective instruction for the first 200 most common “sight” words.

Doug’s Rug Care is the most qualified and technologically advanced rug care facility in Central Pennsylvania. 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEED!

■ Matt Woods, with X Materials Processing, who developed a low-cost metal 3-D printing system with multimaterial processing capabilities. Guests participating in a Pennsylvania Angel Network meeting at Innovation Park attended the Ben Franklin TechCelerator graduation, followed by a networking event. The Pennsylvania Angel Network is an organization serving the “angel investor” community in Pennsylvania. Attendees represented 10 groups, including Blue Tree Allied Angels, Robinhood Ventures, Delaware Crossing and Lehigh Valley Angel Investors. The investors came to Innovation Park to learn more about Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Central and Northern Pennsylvania and the Invent Penn State initiative. “For the past 10 weeks, all the participants gave it their all,” said Don McCandless, director of the TechCelerator. “This process is not an easy one and we consider everyone who gets to the end a winner. Everyone did a great job, and I’d like to applaud the collective effort. Congratulations to our grand-prize winner.” Located in the Technology Center at 200 Innovation Blvd. in State College, the TechCelerator@State College is a partnership among several of the area’s economic development providers that offers entrepreneurs designated space, loan and investment programs, business support and mentoring services, and entrepreneurial training in one location.

Students engineer mobile app to help type 1 diabetics By PAMELA KREWSON WERTZ Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — A group of three Penn State industrial engineering students took home first-place honors in a national competition for developing a mobile application that could potentially save lives. Jingwen (Jess) Li, a third-year doctoral student, along with recent graduate Josh Binder and senior Kyler Houser, under the direction of Professor Vittal Prabhu, set out to develop a mobile application in the home health care domain that will allow patients to better manage their conditions on their own without as much intervention from their doctors. The group worked to incorporate already-existing technology into an easy-touse mobile app that is designed to help people with type 1 diabetes better moni-

tor and manage their condition independently. The app — called QuickPredict — placed first, beating out finalists from Binghamton University and the University of Washington, in the 2016 Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers Computer Information Systems Division Mobile App Competition at the institute’s annual conference in Anaheim, Calif. The Penn State team was awarded $600, donated by IBM, for its winning design. “We decided to focus on type 1 diabetes because it is a condition that needs to be constantly monitored and managed,” said Houser. “When we thought about the importance of regularly checking blood sugar levels and making sure people get adequate exercise, it seemed natural to create an app since mobile devices are so prevalent in society and are becoming in-

creasingly relied on to manage daily tasks.” According to the American Diabetes Association, the body does not produce insulin in people with type 1 diabetes. The body breaks down the sugars and starches eaten into glucose, which it uses for energy. Insulin is a hormone that the body needs to get glucose from the bloodstream into the cells of the body so people with type 1 diabetes need to give themselves injections of insulin to make up for the body’s inability to produce the hormone. Exercise is also an important part of keeping diabetes under control. QuickPredict incorporates parameters like efficient food input, real-time physical activity monitoring, continuous glucose monitoring and published glucose predictive models in order to optimize well-being and reduce the human error component in effectively treating type 1 diabetes.
