Candidates announced to replace Lunsford By ALEXA LEWIS news@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — Both the Centre County Republican and Democratic committees have announced their nominations for the Tuesday, Nov. 3, special judicial election, returning from Labor Day weekend to find out they had less than a week to fill a vacancy in the ballot. The vacancy comes after Centre County Court of Common Pleas Judge Bradley Lunsford announced on Sept. 4 that he will not seek to remain on the bench, despite starting a retention campaign a few months ago. After eight individuals were interviewed, the Centre County Democratic Committee nominated attorney Katie Oliver, of McQuaide Blasko law firm, in its meeting on Sept. 8. That same evening, the county’s Republican Committee nominated attorney Ron McGlaughlin, of At-
torneys Stover and McGlaughlin. Both candidates are officially on the ballot after both county political committees relayed their recommendations to their respective state committees, which then filed paperwork with the Pennsylvania Department of State. Four other individuals also vied for the Republican nomination, Dave Mason, Ashley Kranich, Louis Lombardi and District Judge Kelley Gillette-Walker, said Steve Miller, the chairman of the county’s Republican Party. Greg Stewart, the chair of the Centre County Democratic Committee, said he was not able to release the names of the other individuals interested in the Democratic nomination. “All of a sudden, we had to find someone in basically four business days,” Stewart said. He said the State Department notified his committee of the vacancy the same day Lunsford filed his decision to withdraw,
BRADLEY LUNSFORD
and explained that in this case parties fill vacancies instead of a primary election. Because the position is technically a state office, Stewart said, the state’s Democratic Party Executive Committee had to vote on and file the nomination, but the state group asked for the county committee’s recommenda-
tion. After local Democrats nominated Oliver, the state’s Democratic Party approved the nomination the following day and filed paperwork with the Department of State in Harrisburg by the Sept. 4 deadline, Stewart said. Despite the small timeframe that both
committees had to nominate a candidate, Stewart said he is happy with his group’s recommendation. “I am happy that she has bipartisan support,” he said. “I’m confident that had she been running in a primary, she may have easily won both nominations.” Oliver joined McQuaide Blasko in 1995, and with about 20 years of experience under her belt, she has focused mostly on civil matters. She also worked as a federal pro bono mediator in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania and has focused on medical and legal malpractice cases, according to McQuaide Blasko’s website. “I think that my broad experience gives me knowledge as far as things that we might look at in Centre County to help things run more smoothly and efficiently,” Oliver said.

Soup ‘R Dogs looks to fill void at Nittany Mall By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — Whenever she shopped at the Nittany Mall, Stephanie Kozel noticed the mall lacked one big thing — it didn’t have a food court. “I’m originally from the West Coast,” Kozel said. “This is the first mall I’ve ever seen that doesn’t have a food court.” With that in mind, Kozel has opened Soup ‘R Dogs. The main menu item, of course, is specialty hot dogs. But there are a pleth-
BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT ora of menu choices, including homemade hot sausage, chili, macaroni and cheese and Meyer Dairy ice cream. “I saw the need and I wanted to bring something different; something the area hasn’t seen before,” Kozel explained. Soup ‘R Dogs, Page 8

STATE COLLEGE — The eight members of the so-called Jiang Organization, which allegedly brought illegal immigrants to work at State College restaurants, have filed guilty pleas. According to court documents, the eight individuals accused of harboring aliens at their local eateries reached plea agreements in July. Four of the defendants officially entered their guilty pleas last month, with the other four following suit on Sept. 11. Jing Mei Jiang, the eponym of the Jiang Organization and owner of Fuji and Jade Garden, pled guilty to felony charges of bringing in and harboring illegal aliens and wire fraud. Jiang, 51, of Boalsburg, handled the finances for the group of local restaurant owners, which used an employment agency based out of New York City to draw Asian and Hispanic workers to central
Pennsylvania. The other defendants include Yu Mei Chen, Jian Bin Chen, Xin Xing Jiang (owner of My Thai), Yan Jin Jiang (owner of Hundred Degrees Hot Pot), Yongcheng Chen (owner of China Dragon), Xue Jiang (owner of Chen’s Buffet) and Hua Zhen Dong (owner of Penang Asian Fusion). Those defendants only faced the felony charge of harboring aliens, as Jiang allegedly handled the finances — which constituted a felony wire fraud charge — on his own as the ringleader of the organization. The workers hired by the restaurants were allegedly paid in cash under minimum wage. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Immigrations and Customs Enforcement office conducted a raid on these restaurants along with local police in June 2014. The government has reportedly recovered nearly $22,000 in cash from China Dragon and more than $43,000 in cash from a defendant’s home on Limerock Terrace.
Lee faces new child sex charges By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — Former Harris Township community leader Christopher Lee faces new child sex abuse charges. Arrested by FBI agents at his Boalsburg home last October, Lee already faced numerous felonies for allegedly transporting a 17-year-old minor into the country with the intent to molest him as well as producing and possessing child pornography. Federal prosecutors now say that Lee also brought a second foreign minor, a 14-year-old, into the country with the intent to force the victim to engage in sexual activity. Lee now faces two additional felony charges of transportation of a minor, punishable by up to life in prison, and coercion and enticement, punishable by up to 20 years in prison. Lee — a former Harris Township su-
pervisor and CEO of the Boal Mansion Museum — was originally scheduled to go before a judge in December, but his trial has been delayed several times. Lee’s defense attorney successfully convinced a judge that his case should CHRISTOPHER be split into two sepaLEE rate trials: one for the charges related to transporting and enticing minors, and one for the charges related to possessing and producing child pornography. However, federal prosecutors are pushing for the judge to reconsider that decision and try all the charges at once, and asked for more time to argue their case before Lee goes to trial. A new trial date has not yet been set.

PSU fights cyberattacks with new security office By ALEXA LEWIS news@centrecountygazette.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Not many people know that Penn State repelled more than 22 million hostile cyberattacks on an average day from around the world last year. In light of four sophisticated cyberattacks — two against the College of Engineering and another two against the College of Liberal Arts — earlier this year, Penn State announced on Sept. 11 that it has established an Office of Information System to protect against such attacks. “As we have seen in the news over the past two years, well-funded and highly skilled cybercriminals have become brazen in their attacks on a wide range of businesses and government agencies, likely in search of sensitive information and intellectual property,” said Penn State President Eric Barron in a letter dated in mid-May when the university confirmed that the College of Engineering was the target of two sophisticated cyberattacks over the course of a couple of years, with at least one originating in China. After an internal investigation, university officials had to notify about 18,000 individuals whose personal information — primarily Social Security numbers — were stored on several of the affected machines in the college. According to a press release, this incident launched the university’s comprehensive review of its IT-related security practices. On June 26, Penn State announced that several systems in the College of Liberal Arts were the target of two data breaches. Penn State was able to detect this intrusion because of newly implemented advanced monitoring techniques, said Nicholas Jones, executive vice president and provost at Penn State, in the June press release. Since the June cyberattacks, Penn State has recognized the need to create an office that is separate from its Information Technology Services, a multi-unit office that supports the university’s IT tools and infrastructure, according to the release. Security Operations and Services, one of the office’s original sub-units which develops and
enforces computer and network security, is joining the newly created office. “This is an important step for Penn State,” said Andrew Sears, dean of the College of Information Sciences and Technology, in a release. “Increasingly, organizations are recognizing the importance of having an office that focuses on information security, which is independent of the group responsible for running the computing infrastructure. By establishing an independent office, Penn State is better positioned to respond to the increasingly complex challenge of protecting information that has been entrusted to the university.” Sears will serve as the interim chief information security officer at the new office, while a national search begins for a permanent chief officer. “Large organizations such as universities, government entities and corporations — which are inviting targets for malicious attacks — have begun separating their security efforts because information security is so vital to the organization as a whole,” Jones said. College and university computer networks are open and transparent to maintain an inviting campus for students and faculty creating an attractive target for cyber criminals, making Penn State just one of dozens of universities that is victim of a successful infiltration. Over the last decade, cyber thieves are launching more sophisticated cyberattacks at universities, which have the personal and financial information of often thousands of students stored in their systems. Educause, a company that helps higher education institutions make IT decisions, reported that 727 data breaches in the higher education sector were made public between 2005 and 2014 involving more than 14 million breached records. Some news outlets also reported that the Identify Theft Resource Center found in its 2014 study that more than 40 colleges and universities were victims of successful cyberattacks that year. As Penn State takes the step forward in handling cyberattacks with its new office, Jones said, “This is part of our

This is the reality of the world we live in today. We believe the establishment of this office will better serve Penn State’s security needs in the years ahead.”
Penn State associate athletic director Bortner to retire By StateCollege.com staff UNIVERSITY PARK — After more than 35 years as a Penn State student-athlete, coach and administrator, Jan Bortner, associate athletic director for student-athlete success, has announced he will retire on Wednesday, Sept. 30. During his 10 years as an administrator, four programs Bortner worked with won a combined 10 NCAA championships — men’s and women’s fencing, men’s gymnastics, men’s volleyball and wrestling. The Nittany Lions also won a combined 11 Big Ten championships and tournament titles and 10 consecutive EIVA men’s volleyball crowns. “It has been an honor and a privilege to represent this great athletic department, and I have always felt incredibly blessed to be a student-athlete, volunteer coach, head coach and administrator at Penn State,” stated Bortner, who moved into athletic administration in September 2005. “I love Penn State athletics: the passion, the pride, the spirit, the tradition, the history, the success, the class, but most of all, the people. We have some great people in our intercollegiate athletics department who understand what is most important — making a difference in the lives of our student-athletes and supporting each other along the way.” For nearly 33 years, Bortner has been among the Nittany Lion athletic department’s most dedicated and re-
spected members. He was one of the primary founders and guiding forces of TEAM ICA, organizing social activities and department events to support Penn State teams en masse when they are competing. “Jan Bortner represents, at such a high level, all that is right and good about Penn State,” said director of athletics Sandy Barbour. “He is a selfless leader who always put Penn State first, particularly our studentJAN BORTNER athletes. “But, most importantly, Jan is a man of high character and integrity who leads with his heart. I’m personally and professionally sad to see him retire, as he has always been such a critical part of shaping who Penn State Athletics is, as well as being a key cog in our successes. We will all miss his positivity, enduring smile and his Penn State Pride, on an everyday basis. We wish he and Laraine nothing but health and happiness as they focus on family.” A four-year participant in the NCAA Men’s Tennis Championships as a student-athlete, Bortner succeeded long-time Penn State men’s tennis mentor Holmes Cathrall as head coach in 1990 after a highly successful stint as
the women’s head coach. Bortner earned a 199-159 record and led the Penn men’s program to its first NCAA tournament victory during his tenure from 1990 through 2005. He ranks second to Cathrall in the program’s history for coaching wins. Prior to becoming the men’s head coach, Bortner posted a 125-45 mark as the Penn State head women’s tennis coach from 1982 through 1990, including seven Atlantic-10 Conference titles in eight years and the 1986 Eastern Region crown. Bortner is the winningest coach in the womens’ tennis program’s history. His combined record was 324-204.

Arts Fest named No. 1 show in America By JAIME ROSENBERG StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — The Arts Fest has done it again: It has been ranked first on Sunshine Artist magazine’s list of the top 100 Best Fine Art and Design Shows in America. This is the second time the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts’ sidewalk sale has topped the magazine’s annual list. The festival has not been ranked lower than fifth since 2009. The 23rd annual poll is based on sales totals reported by the exhibitors of the 2014 festival. “It’s always a pleasant surprise and quite an honor because it means we have an event that brings people from all over the country who appreciate and want to buy art,” said festival director Rick Bryant. “We compete with shows from all over the country, including ones in resorts and big cities, so for a small town like State College to win is something special.” The festival brings about 125,000 people every year to Downtown State College. Next year, the event, scheduled for Wednesday, July 13, through Sunday, July 17, will be celebrating its 50th anniversary. “It’s such a joyous atmosphere when you’re at the festival,” said Bryant. “State College and Penn State are great to be at to begin with, and now you add free outdoor music, art and people celebrating from all over the country. It’s like a football game, but you know you’re going to win every single time.” Known around the country as “the Penn State Show,” the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts was founded in 1967 by the College of Arts and Architecture at Penn State. Over the years, the festival has grown to include a banner exhibition, Children and Youth Day and several indoor and outdoor performances. “Over the years, the caliber of artists and performances has increased greatly, and so has the audience,” said Bryant. “We work hard to create a special visitor experience and I think our hard work has paid off.”

retention of jobs. The Legislature can’t wave a magic wand to create jobs.” In order to ensure economic stability and continuous, consistent growth, the state needs to streamline its regulatory policies, Benninghoff noted. In addition, businesses are looking for workers with more highly developed skills. Benninghoff said that there are pockets of tremendous economic growth. Canonsburg, for example, is one of those growing area. Located south and west of Pittsburgh, the town is prospering from the Marcellus shale natural gas industry boom. “The spinoffs from the Marcellus shale include housing growth, retail and hotel development,”said Benninghoff. The tour findings included the fact that business leaders favor Pennsylvania’s business climate to that of neighboring states in the region. Pennsylvania’s tax climate is better than that of New York, New Jersey and other states in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions.

Commissioners declare Big Brothers/Big Sisters month By ALEXA LEWIS news@centrecountygazette.com
BELLEFONTE — Centre County commissioners unanimously voted to approve this month as Big Brothers Big Sisters Month in Centre County during their Sept. 15 meeting. Big Brothers Big Sisters — the Centre County Youth Service Bureau’s largest program — is a mentoring program where children are matched with adult volunteers. Each pair meets at least once a week for an hour over the course of a year. Paired volunteers and children can spend time doing activities including going to the park, going to the library or just hanging out and talking, according to the YSB website. While September is already Big Brothers Big Sisters Month across the county, Andrea Boyles, the Centre County YSB’s executive officer, encouraged those at the commissioners meeting to think about the mentors in their own lives. “Who taught you to ride a bike? Who picked you up when you failed miserably?” Boyles said. “Think about them this month.” The bureau currently has about 100 pairs, according to program coordinator Zach Barton. However, that number is expected to skyrocket once after-school and Benninghoff, from page 4 And, there is a strong work ethic in the state, particularly in central Pennsylvania. “We have access to abundant natural resources, especially water,” said Benninghoff. “And we have the technology and policies that enable us to use those resources.” The state’s location in the nation is seen as an advantage because it provides access to major markets, but there is room for improvement, according to Benninghoff. “Our infrastructure needs a lot of work. We need to control state spending and hold the line on taxes. We have the second highest corporate net income tax. That’s
lunch-time mentoring programs start in the beginning of October. “It’s an exciting time for us; a lot of new matches meeting for the first time,” Barton said. Declaring September as Big Brothers Big Sisters Month will also help spread the word of the program, he added. Barton then went on to detail YSB’s other mentoring programs, which include programs in Bellefonte, State College, Penns Valley and Bald Eagle where high school students meet with younger students after school or during lunch. Barton encouraged those interested in volunteering to call the YSB at (814) 2375731. Toward the end of the meeting, Boyles returned to the front of the room where she discussed the $200,000 federal grant that the organization received for its emergency youth shelter located on Burrowes Street in State College. The shelter served 72 children and teens last year, Boyles said. It is open to those who are running away from home for any reason, and it also offers a suspension program, which is an alternative to sitting at home for kids who are suspended from school. “As the worst case scenario, we see kids that are feeling abuse,” Boyles said. “When that happens, it is critically important that we can open our doors and help that child.” embarrassing. Pension reform must be done if we are going to grow.” Benninghoff said that the current budget impasse in Harrisburg is very frustrating. “Our (the Republicans’) bill was responsible. We need to pay our debts and deal with our pension obligations to grow. It is not a partisan issue. It’s time to pass the budget. Stop-gap measures are not the way to go anymore. It’s irresponsible to pay debt with more debt.” But, the budget will get done, said Benninghoff, “even if it feels like we’re watching concrete harden.” He concluded with a brief mention of the Potters Mills Gap road construction project along Route 322.

AFTER ALL THREE commissioners approved September 2015 as Big Brother/Big Sister Month, Commissioner Michael Pipe shakes hands with Zach Barton, director of the Centre County Youth Service Bureau’s Big Brother Big Sister program. Candidates, from page 1 McGlaughlin said his experience would allow him to “hit the ground running on the first day.” With 31 years of experience in both criminal and civil matters and practicing locally for 28 of those years, McGlaughlin’s practice areas include corporate law, criminal defense, family law and real estate. “I think my experience is uniquely qualified for the position,” McGlaughlin said. “There are several things you have to do as a judge: You have to be courteous to the people who come before you, have a great deal of integrity and conduct yourself in a manner that the community feels like you are impartial, and you have to be decisive.”
Both candidates, who will compete for the 10-year term on the bench, touched on the recent unrest in the Centre County courts during their interviews. “I’m concerned about the lack of confidence that people have in the court … I’d like to do all I can to earn the confidence of the community back,” Oliver said. “I think we have a great court system.” McGlaughlin said, “I would look forward to working with the three members of the judiciary to restore people’s faith in the judicial system.” Neither McGlaughlin nor Oliver had anything negative to say about one another. Both said they had talked and wished each other well.

1.99% APR* for 12-months Guaranteed Introductory Rate As low as
4.00% APR Thereafter (Current Rate)
*The TimeLine Home Equity Line of Credit is a variable rate line of credit with a fixed rate option. This loan has an introductory APR and payment for the first year then adjusts based on the highest prime rate listed in the Money section of the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) plus a margin determined at the time you apply for the loan. To open the advertised product and receive the advertised introductory 1.99% APR (annual percentage rate) requires a line of credit of at least $10,000 and a maximum of $250,000. After the first year, your variable rate can change daily. For example, the current variable rate would be 4.00% APR for a loan amount between $10,000-$49,999.99 and a credit score between 720-779. The maximum APR is 16%. This loan has a maximum term of ten years during which you can draw and repay the available credit limit. Any balance remaining at the end of that time that has not been paid must be repaid over a 15 year term. Fees to open this loan generally range between $0 and $1,000 depending on appraisal requirements and property location. You will be required to maintain property insurance on the collateral. You may also be required to maintain flood insurance on the collateral, if necessary, because of the location.
During the 10 year draw period of the TimeLine, this loan allows the APR on all or portions of your outstanding loan balance (a “Unit”) to be locked. You may have up to a maximum of 3 Units at any one time. The maximum repayment term for a Unit is 15 years. The terms do not change until the Unit balance is paid in full. Fixed rate options are the fully indexed APR plus .50% for terms of 36 months; the fully indexed APR plus 1.00% for terms of 37-60 months; the fully indexed APR plus 1.50% for 61-96 months; the fully indexed APR plus 2.00% for 97-120 months; and the fully indexed APR plus 2.50% for 121-180 months. Different margins are used to determine the fully indexed APR based on the applicant(s) credit score (s) and the loan amount when the TimeLine Home Equity Line of Credit is opened. There is a lock in fee of $50 each time you lock in a Unit. During the TimeLine Home Equity Line of Credit draw period, payments reducing the principal balance on any portion of the balance, including Units become available by increasing the credit available on your TimeLine Home Equity Line of Credit. You should consult a tax advisor for the tax deductibility of this loan. All TimeLine loans are subject to credit approval.

Parks Miller asks for review of Right-to-Know requests in Commonwealth Court By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com
BELLEFONTE — The messy dispute over Right-to-Know requests in Centre County keeps getting messier. Centre County District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller wants to intervene in an appeal pending in the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court that involves the county, a public defender and the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records. Centre County has asked the Commonwealth Court to review a complicated issue involving Right-to-Know requests and the Office of Open Records, but Parks Miller claims this is an attempt to work around a judge’s order in a lower court. Centre County has repeatedly argued that it has only attempted to follow its legal obligations, which has been made increasingly difficult by conflicting orders and opinions. “(Stacy Parks Miller) believes and therefore avers that the County of Centre never intended to follow the lawful rulings of Judge Kurtz, and contemptuously violated Judge Kurtz’s preliminary objection ... to circumvent the very intent of Judge Kurtz that the issues be decided on direct appeal from his rulings,” Parks Miller’s Sept. 9 request for intervention reads. The issue stems from two Right-toKnow requests the county received earlier this year that sought copies of Centre County judge’s phone records, one of which came from a Centre County public defender. The county denied that request because of an order from the common
pleas judge hearing Parks Miller’s Rightto-Know lawsuit against the county, in which she alleges the county has wrongly been releasing judicial records. The other request came from a nonprofit organization and the county did not respond, creating an automatic denial. Both denials were appealed to the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records, which gave two different opinions based on the specific language of the requests. In one, the OOR determined the county should release the requested phone records, while in the other the OOR came to the opposite conclusion. Because of conflicting orders from the OOR that come into conflict with the orders in Parks Miller’s lawsuit, Centre County asked the commonwealth court for clarification. But Parks Miller claims this move was premeditated in order to get the Commonwealth Court to overturn the orders against the county entered in the Court of Common Pleas. Parks Miller is also attempting to hold the county in contempt of court in her Right-to-Know lawsuit for the same reason, but Judge Stewart Kurtz expressed doubts that she would be able to prove contemptuous actions. The county’s attorney has argued that the county is in a lose-lose situation where Right-to-Know requesters can appeal to the OOR regardless of what the county does, making it impossible to hold the county in contempt. The Commonwealth Court has not yet responded to Parks Miller’s request to intervene.

Free to Breathe event to benefit lung cancer research By HARRY ZIMBLER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — The third annual Free to Breathe Walk/Run will be held Sunday, Sept. 20, at Tudek Park in State College. Registration for the event begins at 1 p.m., with the walk/run starting at 2:10 p.m. The 1-mile walk or 5-mile run will benefit the Free To Breathe organization, a group that funds lung cancer research, education and awareness programs. State College-based AccuWeather, the global leader in the weather information industry, is the primary sponsor of the event. There is good reason for that sponsorship, according to AccuWeather founder, president and chairman Dr. Joel N. Myers. “We have a personal interest in this event,” he said. “The event was started by our mother.” Doris S. Myers, mother of Joel, Barry Lee Myers and Evan Myers, passed away from lung cancer at age 93, following a seven-year battle with the disease. The Myers family supports the Free to Breathe event in her memory. “She was a very dynamic and influential person in the community,” said Joel Myers. “Our mother wanted to see an event like this held in State College to honor the survivors, victims and fighters of lung cancer,” said Barry Lee Myers, who will serve as the event rally’s speaker. AccuWeather’s support of the event is a way to realize the vision that Doris Myers had to raise awareness of lung cancer and bringing attention to the need for additional research. Approximately 221,000 new cases of lung cancer are diagnosed in the United States every year and 158,000 people lose their lives annually to the disease. “This is an issue with personal importance to me, to my family, and a matter of significance for us all. AccuWeather will continue to help in raising awareness of this epidemic,” Joel Myers said. “We are pleased to contribute to and support the State College Free to Breathe Run/Walk event,” said Evan Myers. “My brothers and I know it would be important to our mother, as Free to Breath deals directly with an issue that is likely to affect at least one person in everyone’s life, as it has affected ours.” “Free to Breathe is thankful to the Myers family and AccuWeather for their sponsorship and outreach in creating

Spanier asks court to lift travel restrictions By ZACH BERGER StateCollege.com
CHRIS MORELLI/The Gazette
SOUP ‘R DOGS in the Nittany Mall recently opened. The menu features specialty hot dogs, chili and macaroni and cheese. Soup ‘R Dogs, from page 1 After she decided to go with specialty hot dogs, it was just a matter of choosing what type of hot dog to serve. The taste tests then began. “We did a blind taste test and everyone settled on the one we have. It’s an all-beef really good dog. Back West, there are all kinds of hot dog shops. I got some of my ideas from (living) there. But every one has my own flair to them,” Kozel said. Kozel said that she considers herself a bit of a foodie. She loves to cook. The chili, she said, is one of her favorite things on the menu at Soup ‘R Dogs. “I like to cook. The chili is my recipe. I won’t even give it to my husband,” Kozel joked. Kozel also features homemade soups, which change on a daily basis. The soups, she said, have been a hit. During the first week Soup ‘R Dogs was opened, she continuously sold out of soup. “We have sold out of every soup. The first day, we were sold out at like 2 o’clock. It was crazy,” Kozel said. Soup ‘R Dogs has been popular among shoppers and mall employees, Kozel said.

The mall has a couple of restaurants, but Kozel believes that Soup ‘R Dogs will fill a void. She said the response has been overwhelming thus far. “People are amazed,” she said. “We sell a lot of the macaroni and cheese and the chili … comfort foods.” For those on the go, Soup ‘R Dogs features walking tacos, which are usually found at Little League concession stands. “I didn’t even know what a walking taco was until I moved here,” Kozel said. “I had no idea. We do it with chili instead of taco meat. It’s been a hit.” Kozel’s stepfather, James Flug, is coowner. Although Soup ‘R Dogs is in its infancy, Kozel said that the first few weeks of operation has been a success. “It’s going really well,” she said. “We’ve had a really good response.” Soup ‘R Dogs has a half-dozen staff members. Kozel said that if the shop continues to do well, she may add staff. The restaurant is open during mall hours — 10 a.m. through 9 a.m., Monday through Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays.

BELLEFONTE — As part of Graham Spanier’s bail agreement with Pennsylvania, he was forced to surrender his passport to the commonwealth. The former Penn State president is facing criminal charges including perjury, child endangerment, conspiracy and more in connection with an alleged cover-up of football coach Jerry Sandusky’s child sexual abuse. Spanier wants his passport back temporarily for a trip to Saudi Arabia as a higher education consultant, a request that was granted last year for the very same trip. But, the request was denied by Dauphin County director of probation services Chad Libby, who told Spanier in an email that the United States doesn’t have an extradition treaty with Saudi Arabia, according to court documents. Spanier is requesting the trip “to consult with and conduct seminars for the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Higher Education, the same purposes for which he was permitted to travel to Saudi Arabia in November 2014,” according to a legal filing in support of his motion to temporarily
receive his passport. The courts previously granted Spanier a temporary passport return for trips to London and Spain earlier this year as well, and he immediately surrendered it back to the state upon return to the country. Attorneys for GRAHAM Spanier argued that SPANIER he poses no risk and has previously proved that through previous international trips granted by the courts. “There is no reasonable basis for refusing Dr. Spanier’s request to travel to Saudi Arabia,” the filing said. “He has no criminal history and no history of noncompliance with any of the restrictions of his bail. ... There is simply no basis to conclude that Dr. Spanier is a flight risk or that he poses a safety risk to anyone. The denial of Dr. Spanier’s travel request is a significant deprivation of his liberty.” The court issued a response promising to respond to the motion by noon on Sept. 16.
Parks Miller defamation suit heads to federal court By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com
BELLEFONTE — Centre County District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller’s lawsuit against numerous attorneys and county officials has been moved to federal court. Parks Miller originally filed her defamation suit in the Centre County Court of Common Pleas, but county attorney Mary Lou Maierhofer filed court documents on Sept. 11 removing the case to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. Maierhofer argued that some of Parks Miller’s allegations against the Centre County commissioners and other county officials are based off federal law, making a federal court the proper venue for the case. Maierhofer also wrote that a federal court has proper jurisdiction to hear allegations involving both federal and state law, both of which are present in Parks Miller’s suit. Bruce Castor, attorney for Stacy Parks Miler, said in an email that he expected the county to remove the case to federal court and has the option of asking a federal judge to send it back to the Centre County Court of Common Pleas. “But I always thought that federal court would be disadvantageous to the defendants since the jury pool will be larger,” Castor said. “A pool of Centre County jurors alone almost certainly would worry about the award of damages raising their taxes.”
Parks Miller alleged that the various defendants — which includes all three county commissioners, the county solicitor, county administrator, Common Pleas Judge Pamela Ruest, four defense attorneys and her former paralegal — acted as part of a conspiracy to defame her by making and perpetuating false allegations that she forged a judge’s signature. As the case makes its way to federal court, the defendants are starting to lawyer up in preparation for what could be a lengthy legal showdown. Maierhofer will continue to represent county Commissioners Steve Dershem, Michael Pipe and Chris Exarchos, as well as county administrator Tim Boyde and county solicitor Louis Glantz. Maierhofer represents these same parties in a separate lawsuit from Parks Miller involving phone records and the Right-toKnow law. Court records also show that defense attorneys Andrew Shubin and Sean McGraw will be represented by Philadelphiabased attorney Jacob Cohn, and fellow defense attorney Bernard Cantorna will be represented by the Scranton-based attorney Timothy Hinton. Michelle Shutt, a former paralegal to Parks Miller who signed an affidavit accusing her of forgery, will be represented by State College-based attorney Kathleen Yurchak. Editor’s note: Kathleen Yurchak has also worked on behalf of StateCollege.com.

Student loans shouldn’t hurt senior citizens By The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Student loan debt dogs not just young people, but an increasing number of retirees. Some 700,000 Americans on Social Security are still paying on student loans, and last year the government garnished a portion of disability and retirement payments due nearly 160,000 people with education debt. The statistics show that the student-loan problem transcends generational lines and that any solution must include some measure of forgiveness for seniors of limited means. With $1.2 trillion in such debt hanging over the country, the student loan total has surpassed credit-card debt, which hovers at $703 billion. Two-thirds of student-loan debt is owed by people under the age of 40, but $18.2 billion of it is owed by those 65 or older, according to the Government Accountability Office. Some seniors are in this position, not because they were fiscally irresponsible but because of medical calamity. Medical bills are blamed for more than 60 percent of personal bankruptcies. Unlike other forms of debt, however, student loans cannot be absolved by bankruptcy; balances chase borrowers to the grave. Federal loans are discharged upon death, but that’s small consolation to those who watch balances rise and interest accrue even when they become unable to work. In one particularly outrageous case, the government is garnishing a portion of the Social Security check of an 80-year-old with Alzheimer’s disease. Proposals put forth by President Barack Obama and assorted presidential candidates vary in their calls for loan forgiveness. The federal government has $18 trillion of debt all its own and can’t afford to pay everyone’s past-due tuition — nor should it. But to dun the elderly, particularly those with limited means or severe health impairments, is unduly harsh public policy. Old age has enough insults all its own; student-loan debt shouldn’t be one of them.
U.S. must step up on refugee crisis By The Kansas City Star Like much of what guides U.S. policy in these times, the debate over accepting more refugees is guided by dollars and a corrosive dose of xenophobia. Anyone who has caught a glimpse of the news understands the need. More than 4 million Syrians have fled that ruined nation. Most of them are packed into camps in Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan. Others, along with thousands of Iraqi citizens and migrants from other nations, are boarding unstable rafts, crawling under razor-wire fences and breaking through barricades to get to Europe. The worldwide apparatus for helping refugees is overwhelmed, and European nations are working feverishly to bring some kind of order to a nearly impossible situation. America’s inadequate response so far has been to take in 1,500 dis-

placed Syrians as part of the 70,000 refugees it plans to accept this year from around the world. As the crisis escalates, the nation needs to do much more. President Barack Obama’s administration has asked Congress to include funding for an additional 10,000 Syrian refugees in next year’s budget. That’s a small drop in a bucket of need. But even that modest request set off yelps from some Republicans about the dangers of admitting possible Islamic terrorists. People who sound that alarm either willfully or unintentionally misunderstand the process. Every refugee who enters the U.S. undergoes a rigorous security screening process. Nearly all have spent years in camps. Those selected are generally highly motivated or extremely vulnerable — widows with children, for example. The U.S. should respond to the crisis by at least doubling this year’s

quota of 70,000 refugees. There is precedent for such a leap: The nation dramatically increased its numbers to respond to the fall of Saigon, famine in Ethiopia and upheaval in Cuba. The reasons to do so are compelling: ■ Many displaced Syrians are educated and can quickly contribute to the U.S. economy. ■ More resettlements would get people out of refugee camps and help preserve stability for crucial U.S. allies like Turkey. ■ In the eyes of the world, the U.S. holds a large share of responsibility for creating the Syrian refugee crisis. To sit back while other nations shoulder the burden generates more antiAmerican sentiment that we can’t afford. The reason not to do our share is based on fear and stinginess, poor grounds on which to respond to an international crisis.

you live in a 1,800-square-foot half of a duplex or in a 5,000-square-foot home. Regardless of the number of residents in that home (and the number of residents using the shower, toilets, washing machines, etc.), the bill from the UAJA is the same for each residence. This system seems to offer no incentive for people to conserve. So for our rental property in Ferguson Township, if a family with 10 children moved in, I would pay the same for the wastewater bill as I would if a single professional lived in the same space. Local businesses aren’t metered either. Each year in April, businesses and other commercial entities must send a report indicating key features of their business (how many employees; how many seats in the restaurant; how many chairs in the beauty salon, etc.). From that, the UAJA determines the bill based on equivalent dwelling unit (EDU). Restaurants with more seats but fewer customers and use could conceivably be billed more than a smaller restaurant with greater use of the system. There is some buzz going on around town that we should be taking the same caution with our wastewater use (generally linked to our water use). The theory is that based on a metered system we might conserve more and use less. Most of us turn off the lights in a room when we leave it to save on our electric bill. We don’t leave the water running when we brush our teeth so we can save on water. When use is tied to how much we are charged, many people will make the effort to conserve. The system has apparently been working in State College Borough for several years and the borough has seen parallel reduction in water and wastewater. People who are interested in learning more about the proposed change to the billing system can contact the University Area Joint Authority. In the meantime, I have a used printer-scanner-copier that I’m not using. All it needs are new cartridges. Let me know.

Keeping old prescription drugs can be dangerous habit HERSHEY — Many of us are guilty of neglecting our medicine cabinet — specifically, our prescriptions. Sometimes we feel the need to hang onto them, perhaps because they were costly or “just in case.” According to Kimberly Cimarelli, pharmacy manager at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, keeping old prescription drugs may cause more harm than good. “Medications that are expired have passed their half-life, which leads to them being ineffective,” she said. According to the Food and Drug Administration, taking expired medication can be dangerous. That’s because the chemical composition of expired medical products can change over time, making them potentially harmful or less potent. Also, removing expired and unused drugs from the home makes the possibility of children finding them and accidentally harming themselves or misusing them less likely. “Another risk is that older people who may be easily confused could take the wrong medication because the unwanted or expired medication wasn’t disposed of,” said Officer Rebecca Kessler, of the the Derry Township Police Department. Getting rid of the drugs also eliminates the temptation to self-medicate using someone else’s prescription. According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are growing, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to
the drugs. Many abused prescription drugs are obtained from family members and friends. “Drug take-back events or drop boxes are a safe way to take medications that are no longer being used out of the public’s hands,” Cimarelli said. Disposing of the drugs can also prevent people from becoming crime targets. “Some people who keep their medications have fallen victim to those with a criminal mindset because it is much easier to steal medications from a house or person rather than a pharmacy or hospital,” Kessler said. Additionally, expired or unwanted medications should be disposed of properly. “Unfortunately, the easiest way to get rid of unwanted or expired medications is to flush them down the toilet or simply put them in the trash. This causes the medications to end up in our water system and landfills, polluting our water and land,” Kessler said. When medications are returned via drug take-back events or police department drop boxes, they are incinerated to protect the environment. This month, the DEA’s 10th National Prescription Drug Take-Back will include events across the United States. Sites will be set up throughout communities so residents can return their unwanted, unneeded or expired prescription drugs for safe disposal. Collection locations can be found by visiting www.dea.gov.

HAVING OLD PRESCRIPTIONS in the medicine cabinet can be harmful to your health.
Discovery offers hope for leukemia relapse post treatment HERSHEY — Targeting exhausted immune cells may change the prognosis for patients with acute myeloid leukemia relapse after a stem cell transplant, according to Penn State College of Medicine researchers. There is currently no effective treatment for this stage of leukemia, and patients have only a 5 percent chance of survival over five years. AML is a fast-moving cancer of the blood and bone marrow. In patients with AML, the bone marrow produces abnormal white or red blood cells or platelets. Powerful rounds of chemotherapy can damage bone marrow, so many patients are given an infusion of blood-forming stem cells from a donor to restore it. These donor cells also help fight off any remaining leukemia cells, a phenomenon known as the graft-versus-leukemia effect. However, in some transplant patients,

weren’t functioning up to par. They reported their findings in Blood Cancer Journal. These results could lead to new treatments sooner rather than later. There is currently a PD-1 antibody on the market that blocks T cell exhaustion in patients with solid tumors, like lung cancer and melanoma. Zheng is planning a clinical trial to see if it could work for post-stem cell transplant AML relapse patients as well. She also believes the PD-1hiTIM-3+ cells could be used to diagnose relapses earlier than is currently possible. Catching relapses sooner opens the door to treatments, such as an infusion of donor T cells, which alone do not work once leukemia cells take over. “Two months before we were able to clinically diagnose relapse in these patients, we found these markers elevated in them,” Zheng says. “If we can have an early
GVL fails and the cancer returns. These patients often can’t tolerate more chemotherapy, and they typically have less than a year to live. After seeing many of her patients succumb to this, Dr. Hong Zheng, assistant professor of medicine, decided to investigate why some relapsed while others did not. Comparing the blood of patients who relapsed to patients who didn’t led her to exhausted T cells. T cells are a major player in the GVL effect. They send out cytokines, killer compounds that can directly or indirectly eradicate leukemia cells. But over time, fighting off invaders can tire out T cells, causing “T cell exhaustion.” Zheng’s team found that relapse patients had significantly elevated levels of PD-1hiTIM-3+ cells, which are markers of T cell exhaustion. Their T cells also produced fewer cytokines, bolstering the idea that these immune-system soldiers

Universities should boast research developments HERSHEY — Visit the website of a notable research university, and you’ll likely read about the amount of federal dollars the institution won and spent in some recent year. But these types of marketing messages — which help attract faculty, students and patients — don’t tell the whole story. Universities should be trumpeting the quality and impact of their studies, not just how much money they spent on them, say two academics at Penn State College of Medicine. Daniel Shapiro, professor and chair of the Department of Humanities, and Kent Vrana, professor and chair of the Department of Pharmacology, recently penned an opinion in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences calling for a major shift in how research universities promote themselves. The duo compares universities bragging about federal research spending to airlines boasting about using more fuel than their competitors. “We use this metric because it’s easy to obtain,” Vrana said. “But the real metric should be: What is the quality of the research you’ve done? “One of the problems with focusing on money won is that it becomes a finish line. You win a grant and you think, ‘I’ve really done something,’ when in reality it’s the execution and the publishing of the science, and the creativity, the energy and trying to get the work done efficiently that are the better markers of contribution.” Focusing on research and development spending as the finish line hurts science, changing the primary role of a researcher from scientist to grant writer and diverting attention away from more meaningful measures of success, Shapiro and Vrana assert. They believe universities should
focus more on questions like: How many high-quality papers came out of the research? How many other papers cited it? How many inventions came out of it? Did it introduce an important new concept? Does it have the potential to impact human lives down the line? In their paper, they propose an alternate phrasing for marketing messages: “Last year the University of X Health Science Center produced over 6,000 biomedical publications in peer-reviewed journals and, over the past 10 years, our work has been cited by other researchers over 500,000 times. Over 90 percent of our federally-supported trials result in publications within 24 months of completion. As examples, our work has been directly responsible for improved understanding of how proteins function, identifying new treatments for certain lymphomas, and clarifying the relationship between DNA and psychosocial stress.” They acknowledge that such complex messages are harder to construct, but they say that without this shift, researchers will continue to propose “safe” studies practically guaranteed to bring in big dollars. “The folks that are the best at getting grants aren’t necessarily the people who are coming up with the coolest, off-thewall ideas, because we don’t reward those ideas,” Vrana said. In this academic culture, grants have become a “badge of success” — and a leading productivity measure for promotion and tenure. The number of grant dollars awarded now serves as a surrogate for evaluating a scientist and his or her research program. “It can be argued that the ability to win a grant is a measure of your success as a scientist, but from the standpoint of the
Stroud named chief nursing officer PLEASANT GAP — Michelle Stroud has been named chief nursing officer of HealthSouth Nittany Valley Rehabilitation Hospital. Stroud has more than 20 years of professional experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. She previously served as director of nursing at an inpatient psychiatric hospital, clinical head nurse and office manager of an outpatient clinic and, most recently, outpatient services director of a regional health system. “We’re very impressed with Michelle’s diverse range of clinical and leadership experience,” said HealthMICHELLE South Nittany Valley CEO Susan HartSTROUD man. “She is an excellent fit for our hospital and we are excited for her to lead our nursing team.” Stroud holds an associate’s degree in nursing from Mount Aloysius College, a bachelor’s degree in nursing from Penn State University and a school nurse certificate from St. Francis University.

UNIVERSITIES SHOULD spend more time trumpeting accomplishments instead of discussing how much money is spent on medical studies, according to Penn State College of Medicine academics. taxpayer, I don’t think they want to hear that somebody got more of their money,” Shapiro said. He added that if a researcher’s goal is to bring in as much money as possible rather than to do the best science as efficiently as possible, he or she won’t be incentivized to work with other people or to work as inexpensively as possible. The pair point out that, beyond the funding threshold of $250,000, more money doesn’t equate to more or better papers. Academic research centers have a re-
sponsibility to taxpayers to use the funding they’re awarded as efficiently as possible, especially as federal investment in science continues to shrink. The budget of the National Institutes of Health, which funds medical research, peaked in 2010 and has fallen since then. “I still believe that the U.S. has the best science in the world,” Vrana said. “But it’s only moral that we do the best we can with the dollars we’re given, and that we justify our progress in a meaningful way, not just adding up how many grant dollars we received.”
Mount Nittany Health receives ACS award
Hunters’ Health Day set STATE COLLEGE — Mount Nittany Health will offer free health and wellness screenings for hunters during its Hunters’ Health Day event, scheduled from 5 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 23, in Mount Nittany Medical Center’s Galen and Nancy Dreibelbis Auditorium. Now in its 22nd year, the initiative was created to help hunters recognize their health risks, take proper precautions, make good health choices and seek medical treatment, if necessary. The event will offer free screenings for total cholesterol, vision, total body fat, blood pressure, blood sugar, hearing, stroke and oral cancer, as well as EKGs. Hunting often requires climbing rocky terrain. In the case of deer hunting, hauling a deer out of the woods can be very strenuous, especially for those with health problems. The screenings can help indicate risk for stroke or heart attack and the presence of diabetes. To register or for more information, call (814) 234-6727. Walk-ins are accepted. A valid Pennsylvania hunting license is required.
STATE COLLEGE — The American Cancer Society has named Mount Nittany Health a Corporate Excellence Award winner for 2014. The award is based on both support of community outreach events and alignment of resources to advance the mission of the society, which is “dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy and service.” Mount Nittany Health has been a proud 20-year supporter of both Relay For Life of Bellefonte and Coaches vs. Cancer, a 10-year supporter of Relay for Life of Happy Valley and a Race Day Soiree sponsor since the gala’s inception in 2011. “By supporting community outreach events, Mount Nittany Health is helping to further the mission of the American Cancer Society,” said Tammy Ahles, ACS vice president of community engagement. In addition to being the presenting sponsor for local Relay For Life events, as well as the Race Day Soiree, the medical center also had active staff and leadership participation in both events. In 2014 the Mount Nittany Health Relay For Life team raised nearly $3,000 and Mount Nittany Health representatives have attended the Race Day Soiree each year. The society’s Coaches vs. Cancer event has had the support of Mount Nittany Health leadership since the event began, with Dr. James R. Powell serving on the event committee.
Walk planned for Sept. 20 UNIVERSITY PARK — The Centre County Heart and Stroke Walk will take place at 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 20, at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park on the Penn State campus. Registration will begin at noon. For more information or to register, visit www.heart. org/centrewalk.

pus,” said Brown. During the weeklong trip, students visited sustainability-related sites to investigate how different communities in Jamaica were impacted by four sustainability-related topics: overfishing, automobile emissions, biodiversity and eco-tourism. “This was an awesome class because we were able to take what we learned in the classroom for the first four weeks and put it to use. When we interviewed people in Jamaica about different sustainability issues, they reiterated a lot of the same ideas we had read or talked about in class,” said Connor Gingrich, a first-year student majoring in energy business and finance. The students immersed themselves in a new culture by staying in multiple communities across Jamaica. At Durga’s Den, a sustainable community that promotes the idea of living simply and sustainably, students helped out with daily tasks of the community, which included making deodorant from naturally occurring ingredients, picking fruit, building garden beds and creating compost heaps. At a Jamaican-run hotel, students learned how a Jamaican business approached sustainability. In a region known as Cockpit Country, the students stayed with Jamaican host families and learned more about their dayto-day lives. “This class gives them a taste so they can think a little bit more globally, and think about sustainability issues that have a personal component and that will be discussed in many of their future classes,” said Brown. Being immersed in a new culture helps students break out of their comfort zones

UNIVERSITY PARK — In one of her first experiences as a Penn State student, Callan Glover went caving in Jamaica to see the island’s underground aquifer system. “We learned about Jamaica’s water system and how that relates to sustainability on the island. We got to see underground aquifers where water goes. It was a great first-hand experience,” said Glover, a firstyear student majoring in geosciences. Glover and 14 other first-year Penn State students spent a week in Jamaica as part of the Learning Edge Academic Program offered through the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences. Through the six-week, two-course program, students experienced sustainability in a hands-on way, said Neil Brown, research associate for Penn State’s Department of Geography and the Alliance for Education, Science, Engineering and Development in Africa. He co-instructed one of the two EMS LEAP courses with Kristin Thomas, a graduate student in recreation, park and tourism management. The second EMS LEAP course, focusing on scientific communication, was taught by Kimberly Del Bright, the Giles Writer-inResidence for EMS. “In the EMS LEAP course, we’re trying to prepare students for their first semester, while at the same time helping them to realize that there’s a big world out there and other cultures face very different challenges than what we face in the U.S. We want students to use that global awareness to inform their decision making on cam-

After returning from their trip, students worked in groups to produce digital docu-
mentaries and presented their work to the class. “Looking back, we all felt like global citizens. Part of global citizenship is learning how people adapt to different environments around the world, and that’s what we did in this class. It forced us to think differently about our culture when we walked into a culture that was not related to ours,” said Gingrich.

DCNR acquires 270-acre addition to state park By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
CENTRE HALL — About a mile east of Centre Hall along Route 192, at the foot of Mount Nittany, lies the Decker Farm. In 1927, the farm was purchased by James and Verna Decker, who also owned and operated another farm just a few miles away. Both farms were run by different members of the family, and in 1956, the Route 192 farm was purchased by William and Evelyn Decker, who raised four daughters and a son there until their passing several years ago. In May, the 270-acre tract of land was purchased by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to be added to the Bald Eagle State Forest’s Greens Valley block, expanding the Bald Eagle State Forest to more than 197,000 acres. On Sept. 9, a dedication ceremony was held on the farm. “The Decker Tract is a wonderful acquisition for our forest,” said Amy Griffith, district forester for the Bald Eagle State Forest. “It is going to create an incredible gateway for the public to the Greens Valley Tract.” According to Griffith, the Ray F. Decker Trail, built by another Decker family member on the property’s north side, will be extended and will connect to the Student Trail and the James Cleveland Memorial Trail located nearby. The Decker Trail,
accessible from Route 192, will be open to hikers and non-motorized vehicles, and will have a new parking area located along the farm lane. Griffith said the state-run Penn Nursery, located near Potters Mills, will put a seed orchard for trees, wild flowers and shrubs on the farm land, which contains very fertile soil. “Hagerstown silt loam soil, which is what we have here, is fantastic for growing anything,” she said. Kevin Abbey, land conservation manager for the Clearwater Conservancy, was instrumental in the Decker Farm acquisition, making the first contact with the Decker family. Abbey addressed the crowd of spectators, expressing his gratitude for being able to work with the Decker family and DCNR on this project. “I was the lucky one that got to be in the middle of the good folks from the Decker family and from DCNR,” he said. Representatives from the offices of state Rep. Kerry Benninghoff and state Sen. Jake Corman, DCNR Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn, and about 15 members of the Decker family were present at the dedication ceremony. Diane Brown Keller, a niece of William and Evelyn Decker, spoke during the ceremony, stating her appreciation for DCNR purchasing the Decker Tract. “We are honored and pleased that DCNR has decided to dedicate the Decker Tract in recognition of our family’s name and feel

Dunn addressed the crowd, echoing her gratitude to the Deckers, the Clearwater Conser-
vancy, DCNR personnel and legislators who help with funding of the DCNR. Joanne Decker Magurkiewicz, a daughter of William and Evekyn Decker, shared memories of stargazing on the farm as a child on quiet summer nights. She
remembered her father saying, “There’s my mountain,” when looking at the farm in his elder years. “All I want to say now is, ‘Mom and Dad, it’s still your mountain, but in a different way, and you’re sharing it with a lot more people,’” she said.
Musician hopes to spread goodwill, address issues STATE COLLEGE — Friday, Sept. 18, will feature an exciting musical experience when Ron Burrage and his band perform during a “Java Jam” from 7 to 11 p.m. at Abba Java on Locust Lane and Calder Way.

His wife, Chanda, is finishing her doctorate in geography at Penn State and is totally on board with his work. She has taken several humanitarian trips to Africa and other places, and she also wants to work to further social justice with music and art endeavors. “Included in the art is an open mike poetry slam,” said Burrage. “I will be making soul food and that will start at $5. Desserts and coffee will be available. All are welcome.” According to Chanda Burrage, a portion of the proceeds of the evening will go to CAHIR, an anti-poverty organization of Penn State students. Like any endeavor of this size, money is needed and donations are being requested to help pay for the evening, which is free to all students. Nonstudents are asked to donate a minimum of $5. Saturday, Sept. 19, will find Burrage immersed in another venue for a good cause. The event will take place from 3:30 to 6 p.m. at St. Paul AME Church, 121 St. Paul St., Bellefonte.

An extra musical treat will pay tribute to the Mills Brothers, a group with a history in Bellefonte. The Mills Brothers made a significant contribution to music, in that they were the first African-American group to attract large white audiences. They traveled the world, even performing for King George V and Queen Mary — a first for black artists. The group entertained millions of fans on six continents for more than 40 years. The group changed over the years, as one brother was out for military service,
one died and John H. Mills retired in 1956 after 20 years in the group. Throughout the decades, at least one of the original Mills Brothers harmonized with other singers in the group until 1999. The group’s last appearance locally was when Don Mills and his son John packed the high school auditorium at Bellefonte High School in 1992. The two also helped in the dedication of a historical marker commemorating the Mills Brothers’ Bellefonte heritage. Pastor Donna King, of St. Paul AME, has been holding tours on Saturdays and Sundays, explaining the church and the history of the Underground Railroad in Bellefonte. King will be present at the Sept. 19 event to share her insight.

Penns Cave hosts 41st annual machinery show By SAM STITZER
pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
CENTRE HALL — The Nittany Antique Machinery Association recently held its 41st annual fall show at Penns Cave. NAMA’s first show was held at Penns Cave farm in September 1975. The attendance and enthusiasm exceeded expectations, so it was decided to hold a show annually on the first weekend after Labor Day. The NAMA fall show has grown to be one of the largest of its kind east of the Mississippi. Each year, one brand of farm equipment is featured during the show, and this year’s brand was Minneapolis-Moline. Minneapolis-Moline was a large tractor and machinery manufacturer based in Minnesota. It was the result of a merger between three companies in 1929 — Minneapolis Steel & Machinery, Minneapolis Threshing Machine and Moline Plow. It was headquartered in Hopkins, Minn. Minneapolis-Moline pioneered the concept of the closed-cab farm tractor in 1938 by developing the UDLX Comfortractor. The UDLX was equipped with automotive-type features such as an electric starter, a dashboard with a speedometer, plus several firsts in a tractor, including a heater, a cigarette lighter, windshield wipers and a radio. It predated modern-day closed cab tractors by several decades. Despite poor sales due to its high cost (double that of a Farmall or John Deere), UDLX was
one of Minneapolis-Moline’s most popular models. The company was acquired by the White Motor Company in 1963, and the Minneapolis-Moline brand name was dropped in 1974. Many fine examples of the Minneapolis-Moline brand in their signature light orange color were shown at the Penns Cave show, as well as several “barn find” units awaiting restoration. A very rare Moline-Knight touring car, owned by John Stamberg, of Barnesville, Md., was also on display. The MolineKnight featured an internal combustion engine designed by Charles Yale Knight. Knight’s engine used sleeve valves instead of the more common poppet valves. A sleeve valve engine uses movable sleeves which line the interior walls of its cylinders. The sleeves move up and down to uncover ports (openings) in the cylinder walls to discharge exhaust gasses and take in the fuel/air mixture for the next cycle. The story goes that Knight despised the clattering noise of conventional engines of the day, so he designed the sleeve valve engine, which ran much quieter. The Moline-Knight cars were large, luxurious cars selling for $1,475 to $2,400 during a time when a new Model T Ford could be had for a mere $440. In addition to the antique tractors and farm equipment on display, hit-andmiss engines and antique cars and trucks were shown. Elwood Knepp, of McClure, showed a 1952 Henry J Corsair two-door

The compact fastback sedan, made by the Kaiser-Frazer Corporation, featured a 60-horsepower, four-cylinder engine — the same engine used in World War II Jeeps. Knepp has done some mechanical and interior work on the car, and had it repainted in its factory maroon color. Demonstrations of a working portable
sawmill, a cider press and a rock crusher powered by steam engines via flat belts were performed for the large crowd of spectators attending the NAMA show. Antique tractor pulls were held, and parades of tractors and equipment were featured at 11 a.m. each day. The show also featured a huge flea market with nearly 800 vendors.
Gadowsky addresses Mount Nittany Middle School students By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — There was a lot of roaring going on at the Mount Nittany Middle School on Sept. 10, when the school’s Little Lions student body gathered in the gymnasium for a rally kicking off the ROAR program.
“The ROAR program encourages good citizenship, and being part of a community,” said State College School District spokesman Chris Rosenblum. ROAR stands for “Responsibility, Organization, Attitude, and Respect.” School librarian Dottie Delafield welcomed the students and introduced the Mount Nittany Middle School cheerlead-

ers, who put on an acrobatic show and got the students fired up with cheers. Delafield then introduced the guest speaker for the rally, Penn State men’s ice hockey head coach Guy Gadowsky, who addressed the core values of the ROAR program. “Which comes first, values or success?” he asked the students. They agreed with him that having values comes first, and those values lead to success in life. He stressed responsibility, saying that everyone makes mistakes, but what’s important is how we deal with them. “Three things — you admit your mistake, you take responsibility for it and then you learn from it,” he said. Gadowsky mentioned the value of being organized, using his hockey team members as an example. “Our guys have to go to practice, they have to go to different classes, they go to their workouts, they meet different people, their teachers, and a whole bunch of things,” he said. “If you’re going to do any of those things very well, you have to be organized.” Attitude is the third core value in the ROAR program. “You know what I love about this one? It’s all on you,” said Gadowsky. “There are a lot of things that happen in this school that you’re not going to be able to control, but you can control your attitude, and attitude is infectious.” He stressed the importance of having a positive attitude in all situations, noting that professional hockey team scouts look for players with good attitudes as much as performance on the ice.

PENN STATE men’s ice hockey head coach Guy Gadowsky addressed Mount Nittany Middle School students.
Gadowsky then addressed the value of respect, saying that students should have respect for fellow students, teachers, parents and others, as well as having self-respect. Gadowsky concluded his remarks by telling the students to take the core values of the ROAR program with them when they leave the school. “In our locker room, when you leave there is a sign that says, ‘You are leaving our locker room, not our values,’ which are your values,” he said. “To be successful as you go on to high school, you have to take all these values of responsibility, organization, attitude and respect with you.”

The Blonde Cucina: Wow the crowd with tailgating treats Tailgating, especially in Happy Valley, isn’t just an excuse to eat and drink — to some, it’s a religion and way of life. When you adopt this way of life, you realize that the food is just as important as who wins the game.

We knew what it meant to support the football team by being there, enjoying the tradition of tailgating prior to the game. From that point on, I was hooked on the tradition. It went from being a new experience in my high school days to a way of life for me, as I cheered on the Nittany Lions through the reigns of Joe Paterno, Bill O’Brien and, now, coach James Franklin. When you go to Target, Wegmans or Wal-Mart on the eve of a Penn State home game, you’ll see those parking lots packed with RVs, out-of-state plates and an abundance of Penn State mag-

FALLEN HERO HONORED
PLEASANT GAP — I have taken notice of the buzz surrounding recycling here in Happy Valley. I personally agree with the premise of recycling, which helps to conserve our natural resources and also greatly contributes to reducing air and water pollution and energy usage. As the owner of a rug cleaning and repair facility, I have a unique opportunity to recycle rugs that otherwise might be wasted. Many rugs have the possibility of a life span in the hundreds of years. Rugs can be works of art that we can also walk on. Wellmade rugs with superior construction, the best fibers and natural dyes can age very slowly. In fact, I have seen rugs that are 40 to 60 years old and still look like they are new. Used rugs can be quite affordable and also very functional in your home. A man I met at a rug seminar once said, “Every handmade rug tells a story. What a tragic waste of resource not to make good use of these rugs.� Early on in my training and education of washing rugs, I discovered how rugs are made. I developed a deep appreciation for the rugs and the craft of rug making. Did you know that a small rug the size of a door mat could take four to six months for one person to weave by hand? Some of the most vibrant and beautiful colors are made from plants and insects. Wool is the fiber of choice in the best rugs. The quality can vary greatly from each particular species of sheep — merino sheep produce some of the longest-wearing wool for rug production. The list of intriguing reasons to have a deeper appreciation for rugs goes on and on. Rugs have been an important personal possession since the beginning of mankind. The first rugs were likely animal skins. As culture evolved, weaving and dying evolved as well. Today, we have many types and styles to choose from, which brings me back to my part in recycling. I buy rugs from people who no longer have a use for them. I clean them and my repair person, Deb, fixes them up, preparing them for new owners. Rescuing a pet and rescuing a rug both offer the comfort and benefits of a lifelong friend. I have heard and seen the effects of a throwaway society, and I think that we should try to embrace recycling and stop the culture of waste. It’s the smart and responsible thing to do. Doug Moerschbacher is the owner of Doug’s Rug Care in Pleasant Gap.

Strawberry to speak in Milesburg MILESBURG — Freedom Life Church is concluding its “My Back Story” message series with legendary baseball player Darryl Strawberry speaking Sunday, Oct. 4. The church will host two identical services at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. at its facility, located at 113 Sunset Acres in Milesburg. At the peak of his career, Strawberry was one of the most feared home run hitters in the major league. Off the field, he was challenged with addiction, divorce, jail time and cancer. By 2003, he had lost everything. Just four years after retiring from baseball with 335 lifetime home runs, Strawberry had spiraled so out of control that many of his closest friends believed he would not survive to see the other side of 50. The community is invited to hear DARRYL Strawberry share how he was able to STRAWBERRY bring restoration to his life and experience true happiness. He will inspire others toward personal victory in the midst of their circumstances. “Darryl Strawberry perfectly complements our ‘My Back Story’ series because all month we’re talking about making peace with our past and embracing the next chapter of our lives, just like Darryl did on a large scale,” said campus pastor Eric Gerber. “Every week we encourage individuals with the assurance that God’s not finished with your life and best days are ahead of you.” There is no admission fee for the Darryl Strawberry engagement, and everyone is welcome. FL Kids will host programs for children from birth through fifth grade. For more information, visit www.freedomlife.tv or call (814) 593-5959.

RUTGERS VS. PENN STATE ■ 8 P.M.
UNDER THE
Penn State opens Big Ten play vs. Rutgers By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — The ante goes far up this week for the Penn State football team when the Rutgers Scarlet Knights show up at Beaver Stadium for the 2015 Big Ten opener. That’s because, early season or not, this game has as much significance as any on the schedule of either Rutgers or Penn State. The two teams are 1-1, and both will be looking to begin this year’s conference schedule with an important win over a divisional rival. Both teams also remember last year’s desperate struggle at Rutgers in which Penn State survived on a last quarter drive engineered by quarterback Christian Hackenberg. The young Nittany Lions are already at a crossroad. After a soul-searching, 27-10 defeat at Temple, the team showed progress in vital areas during the Sept. 12 27-14 win over Buffalo at home. Christian Hackenberg was not sacked. Penn State ran the ball for 200 yards and two touchdowns. Kicker Joe Julius connected on two field goals, and there were two long runs — by Nick Scott and DeAndre Thompkins — on the punt and kickoff return teams. The linebackers, in a new alignment caused by the injury to Nyeem Wartman-White, turned in a solid performance, and the defensive line at times took over the game. And then there was running back Saquan Barkley. Everyone
already knew about the outside speed and big-play potential of freshman Brandon Polk after the Temple game, but Barkley played only sparingly against the Owls. He only came into the game really in the second half against Buffalo, but he certainly made the best of his chances. The true freshman out of Whitehall High School in the Lehigh Valley ran 12 times for 115 yards, scored his first college touchdown and wowed the rainsoaked Penn State crowd with a Sports Center-quality leap over Buffalo defender. The sudden appearance of another big-play threat beside Akeel Lynch, Scott and Polk in the Penn State backfield sent Lion fans home relishing the possibilities. “We played him in Week 1,” Penn State coach James Franklin said about Barkley. “It’s not like he hasn’t played. We’re only in the second week of the season. He played some in Week 1, showed some flashes, allowed his roll to continue to grow as he gets more comfortable and confident. “He needs to improve in pass perception in terms of responsibilities. We managed that today. He was in for passes, then for third down we took him out and put Akeel (Lynch) back in. He just has to keep working. I feel really good; I feel Akeel has a chance to be a special back. We look at Mark Allen and Saquon and Nick Scott. Nick Scott showed some things as a kick returner today, and he’s got a chance to do some great things. We have four backs we feel good about.”

LIGHTS Regression is not an option for the Nittany Lions, at running back or in any area this week. Penn State has and will continue to talk about improvement from game to game. It happened between Temple and Buffalo, and it’s important that it happens again between Buffalo and Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights also have a win and a loss, but in the opposite way. Rutgers blew out overmatched Norfolk State 63-13 in its opener, and then lost Sept. 12 to Washington State, 37-34, at High Point Solutions Stadium. The WSU game was a back-and-forth affair with the Cougars scoring on an 8-yard pass from quarterback Luke Falk to River Cracrafr with just 13 seconds left to play. The Knights had taken the lead only a minute earlier when Janarion Grant returned a WSU punt 55 yards to give Rutgers a 34-30 lead, but Washington State took the kickoff and marched 90 yards for the winning score. That drive ruined an amazing game by Grant. He set a school record of 337 allpurpose yards in the game — 198 kickoff return, 56 punt return, 65 receiving and 21 rushing. Besides the punt return touchdown, he also had a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, and he now has TIM WEIGHT/For the Gazette five career PENN STATE’S DeAndre kickoff returns of Thompkins looks for running 70 yards room during the Sept. 12 game or more. against Buffalo. Soph-
omore quarterback Chris Lavaino had a solid outing in his first career start. He completed 23 for 29 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and he was only sacked once. Ten different Rutgers receivers caught passes, with Grant and Leonte Carroo leading the way with nine catches for 117 yards between them. The Knights showed heart, coming back three times from deficits, but they could not stop Washington State’s relentless passing game. WSU’s Falk completed 47 of 66 passes for 478 yards and four touchdowns. He completed passes to 11 different receivers, and he led scoring drives of 75, 64, 67, 82 and 90 yards. Rutgers had a chance for the win after Grant’s punt return, but Falk took over with a minute and a half to play and took just 1:18 to cover the 90 yards for the win. “We put ourselves in a place in the second half where we had opportunities to win the game,” Rutgers head coach Kyle Flood said, “and weren’t able to get it done.” And in another blow to the Rutgers team, it was announced that Carroo, a senior captain and NFL wide receiver prospect, was indefinitely suspended from the team. The suspension was apparently due to Carroo’s involvement in a post-game fight that is presently being investigated by authorities. No other information was available. This game for Penn State presents dangerous perils and plentiful opportunities. Rutgers can score points — it has scored 97 points in two games — and it has big-time weapons in players like Grant and Carroo. In addition, even though it was Laviano’s first start, he did throw for more than 200 yards with just one interception, a sack and a touchdown. There could (and should) be opportunities, however, for Penn State to rev up its passing game. WSU barely even tried to run the ball (16 for 81 yards), but Rutgers still managed only one sack and Lights, Page 22

The good, the bad and the ugly: Penn State’s second game sees improvement UNIVERSITY PARK — Are you dry yet? Although Penn State still didn’t look great, it got a waterlogged win on Sept. 12 against Buffalo at Beaver Stadium. And, while it wasn’t exactly a fantastic performance, it was enough to get things done against the Bulls. A second loss would have been devastating. Credit Penn State head coach James Franklin for getting everyone on the same page in the 27-14 victory. Before we look ahead to this week’s showdown with Rutgers, let’s take a look back at the good, bad and ugly to come out of Week 2. ■ The good — Saquon Barkley. How can you not like what you saw out of Barkley? The freshman was impressive, rushing for 115 yards on 12 carries and a touchdown. Looks like the Nittany Lions have found a new running back. ■ The bad — A sluggish start. Maybe it was the noon kickoff, maybe it was the rain. Whatever the cause, Penn State got off to a slow start against Buffalo. In addition to the raindrops, there were also some boos raining down on the Nittany Lions. Those were well-deserved. ■ The ugly — The weather It was one of the ugliest days for a home opener. Based on all the empty seats, it looked like a lot of you chose to stay home. We can’t blame you. — Chris Morelli

Penn State ekes out average marks versus Buffalo By BEN JONES StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State looked better in Week 2, but not exactly awesome. The good was good, but the bad was equally bad. Here are the grades following Penn State’s victory over Buffalo.
OFFENSE: C/C+
You really could make this a two-grade weekend. First half, Penn State was unremarkable. No drives longer than 38 yards and only two drives that lasted longer than four plays. Not exactly inspiring, but it did somehow lead to a 10-0 advantage headed into the half. In the second half it was a different story. After punting on the first drive, Penn State went field goal, touchdown, touchdown to blow open the game. All three drives were more than 50 yards in just over eight minutes of play. Christian Hackenberg continued to have an otherwise forgettable afternoon, but a beautiful pass to Chris Godwin for a 38-yard gain and a few other late game tosses were great throws. From the rushing standpoint, Akeel Lynch’s 46-yard outing on a slow slogging afternoon seemed decent until Saquon Barkley walked on to the field and went 12 carries for 115 yards, including a great 33-yard run. Brandon Polk’s speed also continued to be a factor, with 45 yards on three carries. This grade could have been better
if Penn State had strung together a few drives. Even if the Nittany Lions had only scored 10 points, longer drives that eventually stalled would have been a better output. Given the fact Penn State didn’t look good at all in the first half, it’s hard to give this unit an above-average grade. Penn State’s 6-of-15 rate on third down gets them extra credit, though.
DEFENSE: B
Aside from a long Buffalo drive, Penn State’s defense was never really in danger of giving up Penn State’s lead. The Bulls moved the ball near the game’s end but Penn State’s interest was more in running out the clock than trying to get high-energy stops. Carl Nassib’s game, with three sacks, two forced fumbles and one interception, was incredible to watch. Penn State has 22 tackles for a loss through two games and has yet to really look poor, despite the Week 1 loss. Troy Reeder was strong in his first linebacker start as well. Penn State could have looked better on defense, but there isn’t much to pick at here.
SPECIAL TEAMS: C+
This is a bit of a mixed bag. Special teams set up Penn State’s first touchdown of the day with a big return by Nick Scott. Troy Apke got into the backfield so fast on a Buffalo punt that he missed the block. Meanwhile Joey Julius went two for three

UNIVERSITY PARK — Rutgers head coach Kyle Flood announced Sept. 13 that star wide receiver Leonte Carroo is suspended indefinitely, following his alleged involvement Sept. 12 in an altercation outside the team’s stadium. “Leonte Carroo has been suspended from our program as a result of an incident that ... is currently under investigation,” Flood said at his weekly teleconference. “Until that investigation concludes, we’ll have no further comment.” Carroo will be serving his second suspension of the season, after violating curfew forced him and five other players to play only the first half of their season opener versus Norfolk State.

Big Ten receiver has already grabbed three touchdowns — one fewer than the entire Penn State offense. Last season he caught six passes for 84 yards against the Nittany Lions. The Rutgers football program has experienced turmoil in the early season, dismissing six players during the past few weeks following arrests for an alleged incident in April. Coach Flood is also under investigation by the Rutgers administration for alleged impermissible contact with a faculty member regarding a student-athlete. For Penn State, the news will be a relief for a defensive secondary that has shown lapses early in the season without starting cornerback Grant Haley, who hasn’t played yet due to injury. The two teams will kick off Big Ten play against each other in a prime time showdown Saturday, Sept. 19, at Beaver Stadium.
Connecting our agricultural past to the present day
Penn State looked bad more than it looked good. But when the Nittany Lions looked good, they looked impressive. And, though maybe not impressive by national standards, there are reasons for fans to be optimistic moving forward. The Nittany Lions are offensive-consistency away from being a pretty good team. Only time will tell if that’s in the cards.

part of it anymore. ‘You’re a graduate.’ No, I still rep that every day,” Nassib said. Perhaps the biggest question is, what has changed since joining the team all those years ago? How did he go from a player who never started to a breakout star with 15 tackles, four sacks, two forced fumbles and one interception over the span of just two games?

OVERALL: C
BIG TEN STANDINGS
By BEN JONES UNIVERSITY PARK — It’s pretty incredible really. Not that Carl Nassib is starting after walking on at Penn State. Not even that he’s playing so exceptionally well while doing it. It’s incredible that he has only started two games in his entire football career: the opening pair of Penn State’s 2015 season. In high school Nassib never started, his team’s senior-heavy roster loaded with talent. He played, but he never started. Not a single game. Even when Nassib came to Penn State he wasn’t sure what the future held for him. Ask him if ever imagined a three-sack, two-forced fumble, one interception outing like he had against Buffalo and Nassib just laughs. “Maybe. You never know, probably not, probably not,” he said smiling. “If you’re not trying to get the starting spot, why are you here?” Nassib said about his early years at Penn State. “Everybody should just compete, just compete to get on the field. You can’t take any play for granted.” For Nassib, there is a bit of pride that comes from being a walk-on. He understands as well as anyone how far hard work can get you. And, perhaps more importantly, how anyone on the team can make an impact. You’re a nobody one day and a starter another. Now on scholarship, Nassib has graduated from that particular fraternity of players even if he still associates with them. “I always like to represent walk-on university, you know? My fellow walk-ons on the team don’t think I’m a
making solid strides in this area.
on the afternoon with his only miss coming from 49 yards, and he had the leg to make it. On the other side, Daniel Pasquariello struggled with punting consistency having two poor short punts coupled with a 55yard boomer. Penn State’s special teams seems a few weeks from truly being special, and it just needs the punting to back it up. A few bad punts and a field goal miss, even in the rain, have to mark this grade down a bit even if it’s clear Penn State is

Breaking Through
Bald Eagle Area blanks P-O for its first win of the year By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com
WINGATE — The Bald Eagle Area football team’s defense kicked into another gear against Philipsburg-Osceola during the teams’ opening Mountain League game at BEA on Sept. 11. Not only did the Eagle defenders almost completely control the P-O offense in their team’s 14-0 win, but they also put up the winning score in a game marred by sluggish offenses and an assortment of drivehampering penalties on both sides. BEA linebacker Cole Robinson jumped on a loose ball caused by Rilee Bechdel in the Mountie end zone that broke a scoreless tie with just over two minutes to play in the third quarter. Robinson’s touchdown was all the Eagles needed. Running back Elliot Peters did tack on a 12-yard scoring run late in the fourth quarter, but that score was almost academic. BEA had no intention of allowing P-O anywhere near a score. The Mounties managed just a net of 44 total yards in the game — 20 on the ground — and were held to minus-10 yards and just one first down in their final four possessions. P-O did not advance inside the BEA 30-yard line all night. “Every win is a big win is the way we approach things,” BEA coach Ron Hoover said. “We knew P-O would be tough, and we knew it was going to be a four-quarter game, and it was. “We couldn’t get any flow going against them, but the defense really stepped up when we needed it to. We knew we had to pressure them to make things happen.” That pressure finally paid off late in the third quarter. Up to that point, the big-

That drive ended in a fumble, but P-O backed itself up inside its 10 after a sack and a holding penalty.
On second down from the 7, P-O quarterback Jake Anderson rolled right, but he was hit hard by left defensive end Rilee Bechdel. The ball bounced loose, and Robinson jumped on it in the end zone.
“I have to give it up to the other defensive end, Rilee Bechdel,” Robinson said. “He made the tackle and forced the fumble. I came across the back side, and it was a good thing that I was there to cover the fumble, but it was Rilee that forced it. “Tonight our defense was phenomenal. The best defensively we’ve been. The defensive line was awesome.” With the lead in hand, and the P-O offense stymied, the Eagles turned to their running game. BEA did not throw another pass in the game. The Eagles’ final two drives consisted of 21 running plays that gained a total of 78 yards. Peters, who finished with 10 carries and 60 yards, and Hunter Hockenberry (74 yards) did most of the pounding that was slowly wearing down the P-O defenders. Finally, on the 15th play of BEA’s last drive, Peters powered it in from the 12 for the first offensive score of the night. Quarterback Tanner Kresovich ran around left end for a two-point conversion as BEA put the finishing touches on its first win. “I owe everything to the offensive line,” Peters said. “They really stepped it up. Josh Fye created a big hole in the middle, and I pretty much followed him into the end zone. “Defensively we knew they weren’t filling as fast or coming off the ball. They got some off-sides penalties, so we knew they were wearing down.” BEA will travel to Penns Valley on Friday, Sept. 18, and P-O will play its first home game on the same night against Bellefonte. “We have Penns Valley next week,” Peters said. “We always look forward to playing Centre County teams. I think we’ll be alright.”
Five turnovers doom Bellefonte in loss to Huntingdon By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com
BELLEFONTE — Things didn’t get any better for the Bellefonte Area High School football team during Week 2. The Red Raiders made too many mistakes in a lopsided 27-6 loss to Huntingdon at Rogers Stadium on Sept. 11. Bellefonte had five turnovers and a blocked punt in the game. In two weeks, the Red Raiders have turned the ball over nine times. Bellefonte head coach Shanon Manning was not pleased with his squad’s performance. “A lot of it is focus,” Manning said of the turnovers. “(In Week 1) a lot of the turnovers were forced turnovers. These turnovers weren’t forced turnovers. Honestly, this was the result of a bad week of practice. We had a bad week. Our focus wasn’t great, our preparation wasn’t great.” It showed. Bellefonte (0-2) went 3-and-out on its first series of the game. On fourth down, Bellefonte punter Nick Jabco had his punt blocked by Huntingdon’s Ian Border. He alertly scooped the ball up and took it in
for the touchdown. The PAT was good and just a couple minutes into the game, the Red Raiders were facing a 7-0 deficit. Things didn’t get much better for the Red Raiders after that. Bellefonte turned the ball over again on its next drive and following an interception of a Mark Armstrong pass, the Bearcats struck again. The Bearcats’ Jon Wagner took a direct snap and scored on a 13-yard touchdown run to make it 13-0. The score capped a 15-play, 56-yard drive that chewed seven minutes off the clock. Huntingdon was in command. For all intents and purposes, the game was in hand. “We’re happy for any win,” said Huntingdon head coach Mike Hudy. “The turnovers? We’ll take them.” Bellefonte’s first half was a disaster. The Red Raiders ran just 15 offensive plays and had one first down. Bellefonte got back in the game — at least momentarily — with a score of its own. Jabco had a nifty 49-yard kickoff reBellefonte, Page 28

United takes advantage of St. Joe’s miscues in 26-20 victory By MATT BORTNER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — There was a roar of a home field crowd coming from Memorial Field on the evening of Sept. 11, but it wasn’t for the State College Little Lions. The cheers were for the team from Boalsburg, the St. Joseph Catholic Academy Wolves. Unfortunately, the home field advantage was not enough to carry the Wolves (0-2) to their first victory of their season, as they fell to United (1-1), 26-20. In their third season as a football program, the Wolves have not had a true home game in Boalsburg since 2013 due to construction on their field. Last year St. Joseph played all their home games at Bishop Guilfoyle in Altoona, and for the
remainder of this season will do the same. “This was a true home game for us, and I thought we showed it,” said head coach Dave Carson. “They really played their hearts out.” Carson and the Wolves knew their defense would face a tough challenge this week in United running back Brent Mack. Last week, in a season-opening 28-26 loss to Marion Center, Mack carried the ball 31 times for 232 yards and scored three touchdowns. You could say Mack again carried the load for the United Lions against St. Joe’s: He carried the ball a whopping 41 times and racked up 201 yards along the way while scoring three touchdowns. “He ran possessed and if he keeps running like that you feed the horse,” said United coach Kevin Marabito. “The offensive line also did a heck of a job.”
The game got off to a slow start. The only real promising drive in the first quarter belonged to the Lions, but a Mike Kresovich pick on the Wolves’ 30-yard line ended the possession. On United’s possession to start the second half, Marabito decided it was Mack time. The Lions drove 57 yards, with Mack covering all the distance and scoring on a 5-yard run. Adam Donelson kicked the extra point for a 7-0 lead. United took that lead into halftime. Then, in the second half, the scoring came in bunches, but United never fell behind. The opening kickoff would be a precursor to an entertaining second half. St. Joseph’s kicker Jarrod Stormer lined up to kick deep, and while the result was not what he intended, it was just what the Wolves needed. Stormer shanked the kick,
which trickled off a Lions player, and the Wolves came out of the pile with the football. Feeding off the momentum of a home crowd and the recovery, the Wolves marched down the field on a drive capped of by quarterback Kresovich’s 10-yard run. United blocked the extra-point attempt to maintain the lead at 7-6. Kresovich finished the game with 128 yards passing and a touchdown, while also running for two scores. “Kresovich has a great ball and he has got the tools,” said Carson. “He is quick and has a big arm. We are hoping that he gets some looks from some schools.” United fired right back. Mack carried the ball seven times for 55 yards, and St. Joe’s, Page 28

Week 3: For most, the hunt for victory continues By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH
sports@centrecountygazette.com
A closer look at the Week 3 matchups:
UPPER DARBY (2-0) AT STATE COLLEGE (0-2)
The State College Little Lions fell to 0-2 for the young 2015 season after a 41-23 loss to always-tough Harrisburg Bishop McDevitt. State College fell behind 34-17 after a wild first half in which the teams combined for a total of 38 points in the second quarter alone. The Little Lions’ defense stiffened in the second half, but the deficit was too much to make up and SC fell in its second road game of the season. And just like in SC’s opening game against Spring Ford, the Lions gave up the bulk of its opponent’s yardage and points through the passing game. McDevitt quarterback Tayvon Bowers completed 21 of 32 passes for 299 yards and three touchdowns against the gambling Lion defense. State College did run up just under 300 yards of offense for the night, and Jordan Misher again exceeded the century mark with 105 yards on 19 carries. The Lions also fought back to within three points midway through the second quarter, but two quick scores by the Crusaders within three minutes gave them a lead they would not relinquish. This week, State College opens its home season against 2-0 Upper Darby from Drexel Hill. The Royals, who play in District 1’s Central League, have victories so far over two District 12 teams — Monsignor Bonner (21-8) and Frankford (40-34). Upper Darby will present new problems for SC. The Royals have only thrown 24 passes this season and completed 12 for a total of 257 yards. Senior Christoff Minott quarterbacks the offense, but he is just as dangerous running the ball as he is passing. UD averages 243 yards per game rushing with senior Isaiah Bruce leading the team with 308 yards on 50 carries. Bruce ran for 207 yards and four touchdowns in the Royals’ victory over Frankford. Minott is the second-leading rusher for Upper Darby, and the 12 receptions are spread out over six different receivers. Upper Darby finished 6-6 last season, but none of its
losses were by more than 15 points playing in a tough league. Off to a good start in 2015, the Royals are a dangerous team with senior leadership that in no way will be an easy first win for the Little Lions. Kickoff at Memorial Field is set for 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18.
BALD EAGLE AREA (1-1) AT PENNS VALLEY (0-2)
Bald Eagle Area showed off what it can do on the defensive side of the ball in its 14-0 win over PhilipsburgOsceola on Sept. 11. The Eagles gave up almost nothing to the Mounties — fewer than 100 yards of total offense — and created four turnovers in their first win of the season. On Friday, Sept. 18, they will travel to Penns Valley for another showdown of local teams. Penns Valley is 0-2, and the Rams have been badly outscored in both of those losses. The Rams have also played two of the best teams around and had the misfortune to visit Clearfield on Sept. 11 after the Bison were smarting from a double-digit loss in their first game. PV has been moving all-purpose back Ben Alexander all over the field. He’s had time at running back, receiver, and quarterback, and he is dangerous any time he touches the ball. The Rams’ problems have come on the defensive side, but BEA scored only one offensive touchdown against P-O, so something has to give. BEA had only one turnover against the Mounties, and the Eagles will need to repeat that performance to come away with their second win. Kickoff in Spring Mills is scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18.
BELLEFONTE (0-2) AT PHILIPSBURG-OSCEOLA (0-2)
Both Bellefonte and Philipsburg-Osceola put in solid second-half performances against good teams in Week 1. Bellefonte hung with Jersey Shore before finally losing 14-6, and P-O furiously came back at West Branch after falling behind early. Both teams also seemed to take a step backward in Week 2, especially on offense. The Mounties could not get anything going in their loss at BEA, and their problems were compounded by four turnovers and 11 drive-killing penalties.

Ditto Bellefonte. The Raiders lost three fumbles against Huntingdon, and they were held to 125 yards of offense by the Bearcat defense. The advantage in this game will go to the team that cleans itself up the most. If either one can play error-free, either one can win. The opposite is also true. Either one can (and probably will) lose if it continues to turn the ball over. Kickoff in Philipsburg is scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18.

Boys’ soccer: Mounties take down Rams, 4-1 By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com
PHILIPSBURG — Philipsburg-Osceola soccer forward Tony Cassler spent the first 60 minutes of the Sept. 14 match against Penns Valley playing defense. It wasn’t until P-O head coach Shawn Inlow moved Cassler up to the front line that things really got rolling for the Mounties. As soon as he was switched in what was then a tie game, Cassler immediately went to work with fellow senior Austin Krise on the Ram back line. First, he found Krise open in front for P-O’s go-ahead goal in the 64th minute. Then, he netted two insurance goals himself, six minutes apart, that cemented the Mounties’ 4-1 Mountain League win. The high-scoring Krise gave P-O the initial lead with a header off a corner pass in the 22nd minute, but PV midfielder John Statham tied the game a minute before halftime when he snatched a loose ball right in front of Mountie goalie Payton Moore. The two teams struggled back and forth for the first 20 minutes of the second half, looking for that big second goal, until Cassler showed up on the P-O front line. “I didn’t go up top until 20 minutes into the second half,” Cassler said, “because I was playing defense the whole game. Then as soon as I went up there, we got the three goals and we all felt pretty good.” At the start, the game was a close, defensive affair. Neither team had a shot
until P-O’s Micah Shively’s attempt was saved by PV goalie Jared Kines in the 15th minute. Suddenly, seven minutes later, P-O’s Ulysses Saldana lofted a corner kick in front that Krise headed in for the first score of the game and a Mountie 1-0 lead. “I was the biggest one in there,” Krise said about the scramble out front. “I didn’t even jump; I don’t know why, it just sort of came to my head. That’s my main goal, heading, so I guess it was pretty simple.” After Krise’s score, the Rams turned more aggressive. They missed three shots down the stretch in the first half, and had another one saved by Moore. With time quickly running out, and after a PV attack up the right side, the ball bounced loose in front. Statham was there, and he finished it for the tying goal. The game remained tied for the next 23 minutes. “We had some personnel issues,” Inlow said. “We had two starters out and we had to move some people around. We used Tony Cassler in the back line because we were short, and Tony is a big, physical player — and really fast. “When we put that speed up top with Tony and Austin (Krise) it was really, really hard for the center back to keep up. When we put Tony up there, it was over.” And it was over quickly. Just past the 23-minute mark, Cassler found Krise open and fed him a perfect pass. Krise left-footed it in, and P-O had its second lead of the day.

For the day, Cassler finished with two goals and an assist, Krise had two goals and an assist, and Saldana picked up the other P-O assist. The Mounties are now 3-0-1 for the season heading into a weekend showdown with Bellefonte. “I’m really ecstatic with how everything’s turning out,” Cassler said. “Our defense is coming together. We’re have good teamwork. If they score, we don’t put ourselves down, and we keep going.”

fullback David Brothers bulldozed his way to a 9-yard score to put the Lions up 14-6 after another Donselson kick. Not to be outdone, St. Joseph’s continued the seesaw battle. On the third play of the ensuing possession, Kresovich hit Adam Watkeys with a 54-yard strike for a touchdown. Charles Ross, who had 66 yards receiving and 44 yards rushing, caught the two-point conversion pass to knot the game up at 14. “He (Kresovich) is an excellent quarterback and a great leader,” said Watkeys. “We have been talking all week about (how) we’re going to connect on one of those, and it took three tries, but we finally did.” The fireworks continued when Jacob Neuner returned the ensuing kickoff to the Wolves’ 5-yard line. Mack took over from there and scored the touchdown. The kick failed and United led 20-14. Finally, the defenses settled in to make three consecutive stops, a streak broken when Mack scored his third and final touchdown from 6 yards to up the United lead to 26-14. After that, St. Joseph’s scored when Kresovich scampered 3 yards for a touchdown to make it a 26-20 game. United took over and ran out the clock. “This is going to happen with youth. There were some mental mistakes with penalties and missed assignment, but I thought we played really tough,” said Carson.
turn to set the Red Raiders up with good field position. Austin Jackson had a 24-yard burst to get the Red Raiders deep into Huntingdon territory. Following an 11-yard run by Dillon Kephart, the Red Raiders hit pay dirt. Armstrong tossed his lone TD pass of the night, a 2-yarder to Jackson. The two-point attempt failed, but Bellefonte had trimmed the deficit to 13-6. Huntingdon answered, though, with nine minutes left in the third quarter. After a highlight-film run by Wagner that went for 42 yards, he scored from 3 yards out as the Bearcats extended their lead to 20-6. “That’s how he ended the year,” Hudy said of Wagner’s running. “He can move, can’t he? We’re just hoping he’s able to keep that up.” He finished the game with 142 yards on 16 carries. Huntingdon closed out the scoring by capitalizing on another Bellefonte mistake. Following a fumble on a handoff, Tyler Scott scooped up a loose ball and rumbled 34 yards for the score. The fifth turnover of the night made it 27-6. Now, it’s back to the drawing board for the Red Raiders, who are in an 0-2 hole. Manning knows his team has to get into the win column if it has any hopes of making the postseason. “It’s tough,” Manning said. “To come out, have a very winnable game … and we gift-wrapped it. I’m not taking anything away from Huntingdon, but you cannot turn the ball over five times. You cannot give a team like Huntingdon five extra cracks at the end zone. You just can’t do it. Bad things will happen.” The Red Raiders will try to get into the win column Friday, Sept. 18, when they travel to Philipsburg-Osceola.

‘The Submission’ is latest offering from FUSE Productions By ANNE WALKER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — FUSE Productions, under the direction of Richard Biever, will kick off its season with the reading of Jeff Talbot’s drama “The Submission” at 7 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 20, at the Singing on Stage Studio, 1108 S. Pugh St. According to Biever, FUSE Producations’ Contemporary Play Reading Series highlights “plays that deal with contemporary issues,” done as readings. The actors will have the script, but no sets or props. Following the performance, the audience can engage in a discussion of themes that arose throughout the play. “The Submission” takes a look at political correctness run amok in the entertainment industry. Penn State Theatre graduate Chris Waggoner will read the role of Danny. White and gay, Danny has not had much success as a playwright trying to break into theatrical production. He comes up with a plan to get directors to
take his work seriously. “He’s aware of the environment,” said Waggoner, “and he’s willing to take a risk.” Danny has written a piece about a black family’s struggles with racism, addiction and poverty. And he decides that if he can pull off a hoax about its authorship, it will find success. So, he writes it under a pseudonym. “You have to know how to sell your stuff,” Waggoner added. “He needs to pander to these directors.” Danny’s spirits lift a bit when the play gets accepted to the Humana Festival for New American Plays. But, now, he has to present the persona that he created by using the pseudonym. In Danny’s scheme, he hires a young black actress to act as though she has written the play. Brinie Wallace reads the role of Emilie, the woman Danny finds to portray the stereotypical black female that the establishment will accept as fulfilling the proper role. “He’s afraid that if they find out he’s a

gay white guy, they won’t take him seriously,” Wallace said. Wallace’s point impacts the dialogue for the play from that point on. The plot becomes more focused on race, acceptance and bigotry. It raises questions about how we perceive achievement based on our identities as opposed to the work itself. “It’s about communication and perception,” Wallace added, “and the dramatic conflict is huge.”
JAMES MCREADY
ASHER DUBIN
FUSE veteran James McReady reads the role of Pete, Danny’s boyfriend, who gets caught up in the turbulence. The fourth character, Trevor, read by Asher Dubin, remains friends with Danny throughout. “Primarily, this play is about how you identify yourself and how the world identifies you,” concluded Biever — an observation that will provide plenty of material for a lively discussion following the performance.
