Husband charged with killing wife By ALEXA LEWIS news@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — State College Police arrested Alois Kudlach at about 10:30 p.m. on Aug. 31 for allegedly shooting his wife, 51-year-old Nuria Kudlach, three times. He now faces charges of first- and third-degree murder. At 10 a.m. on the day before Kudlach’s arrest, the State ColALOIS KUDLACH lege Police Depart-
ment responded to a domestic dispute at 310 Gregor Way between the Kudlachs. When Kudlach called 911, he stated that he shot his wife, according to the Centre County district attorney’s office. When the police arrived at the scene, Nuria Kudlach was found deceased. Both Alois Kudlach, 49, and the couple’s 19-year-old son remained at the scene when officers arrived. Police said they found a loaded .45-caliber handgun on the kitchen island and three empty shell casings on the kitchen floor, according the district attorney’s office.

Father-son running team make stop in Bellefonte By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com
CHRIS MORELLI/The Gazette
TRIP OF A LIFETIME: Shaun Evans and his son, Shamus, are running across the United States delivering running chairs to children. They made a stop in Bellefonte last week.
BELLEFONTE — The emotions overflowed at the Fort Bellefonte Campground on Aug. 26. Shaun Evans and his son, Shamus, are running across the country as part of a father-son bonding trip. But this is no ordinary road trip. Shamus, a 9-year-old, has cerebral palsy. Therefore, Shamus rides in a specially designed chair while Shaun pushes him. They have been traveling the United States delivering running chairs to special needs children along the way. “I have the honor and privilege of being his legs,” Shaun Evans said.
On this night, the Evanses were delivering a running chair to 8-year-old Dominic Sauter and his family. The donated running chairs are part of Ainsley’s Angels, a nonprofit that advocates for the inclusion of special needs kids. The stop in Bellefonte was Day 53 of the Evans’ journey. It’s a journey that began in Seattle on July 4 and will end in New York this week. “It’s amazing just how fast the summer has gone by. It feels like just yesterday we started on the Fourth of July with Shamus walking the first few steps with his walker. I transferred him into his running chair and we took off for a 55-mile run,” Evans said. Running, Page 6
CentrePeace prison ministry moves into new facility By HARRY ZIMBLER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com
BELLEFONTE — CentrePeace, the prison ministry founded in 1994 by Marie Hamilton, is entering its 21st year of service to Centre County communities. The organization just completed a move to a 17,000-square-foot facility that more than doubles the size of the organization’s retail sales space and storage. CentrePeace is a nonprofit organization that sells used furniture and household items to support its services to local prisoners from Rockview and Benner Township correctional institutions and the Centre County Correctional Facility. “We are a unique organization in the fact that we do not receive any government funding,” said Thomas Brewster, executive director. “We are nearly totally self-sustaining. If we don’t sell furniture and household goods, we don’t exist. We receive a small amount from United Way.” The new sales and storage areas greatly expand the capacity of CentrePeace’s ability to accept doOpinion ............................ 7 Health & Wellness ............ 8
nated items for sale and then display them for the public. “We receive donations from throughout Centre County,” said Brewster. Construction on the new building — located right next door to the former facility — began in November. It took a week made up of 16-hour days to move the organization’s entire inventory. “It took a lot of effort on the part of many people to get the move done,” said Brewster. “But we no longer need to put a lot of furniture outside in the parking lot.” Marketing CentrePeace is done almost exclusively through word-of-mouth advertising. “We have some free ads on radio, too,” Brewster said. Brewster, who once served as the chief development officer for the colleges of engineering at Penn State and Carnegie Mellon universities, plans to create a program to raise funds for paying off the new building’s mortgage.

State College man charged with child porn possession By ZACH BERGER StateCollege.com
STATE COLLEGE — A State College man is facing a felony child pornography charge after an investigation uncovered a large collection on his computer. Adam Zydney, 26, was arrested and charged with possession of child pornography on Aug. 31 after police found a cache of 591 files on his computer downloaded with a torrent program, police said. Zydney is the son of State College school district board member Laurel Zydney and previously worked with children in a number of roles. According to his resume, posted on his personal website, the State College native was an instructor and teaching assistant at the John Hopkins Center for Talented Youth from 2010 to 2014. He is currently a graduate student at Penn State studying mathematics, and earned his undergraduate degree from the university in 2011. A criminal complaint filed by Ferguson Township police noted that an undercover investigation led officers to the IP address at Zydney’s apartment, where police found the child pornography files on his computer. The complaint describes in graphic detail one of the videos, which reportedly shows a “white prepubescent girl” exposing herself. A search warrant executed on July 31 found Zydney and his roommate at the apartment, where the latter told police he didn’t wish to discuss the incident. Attorney Lance Marshall, who represents Zyd-
ney, contacted the police and set up an interview on Aug. 4, during which Zydney informed police that he is sexually attracted to young females. “He acknowledged that this attraction seemed ‘weird’ at approximately sixth grade,” the complaint ADAM ZYDNEY said. “He stated that he began to look at child porn when he was in his mid teens and used it for the ‘same reasons’ as regular porn.” Zydney told police that he later began using torrent programs, which are a form of peer-to-peer file sharing, to download child pornography. According to the criminal complaint, he stated that his fiancee and a former girlfriend “knew of his pedophilia but did know of his collection of child porn.” School district spokesperson Chris Rosenblum confirmed that Zydney is the son of a board member. “Ms. Zydney is a valuable member of our board,” school board president Amber Concepcion said in a statement Aug. 31. “She and her family are going through a very difficult time and we will respect their privacy at this time.” Marshall was not available for comment on Aug. 31. Zydney is being held in the Centre County Correctional Facility on $15,000 bail.

BELLEFONTE — As a result of the district attorney’s new lawsuit against multiple county officials, Centre County Common Pleas Judge Pamela Ruest is no longer hearing criminal cases. Centre County District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller is suing Ruest and 11 other defendants for allegedly taking part in a conspiracy to defame her and ruin her professional reputation. Shortly after the lawsuit was announced on Aug. 28, Ruest recused herself from all criminal cases to avoid any potential conflict of interest. “What’s happened is that Judge Ruest has said she thinks it creates the appearance of impropriety for her to be involved in cases where the commonwealth, represented by the district attorney, is involved,” said Centre County President Judge Tom Kistler. Kistler said Ruest will instead handle other kinds of cases, such as family law and civil litigation. She may also be able to preside over criminal arraignments, which involve informing accused criminals of their rights and would not pose any potential conflict with the district attorney. Court administrator Kendra Miknis said court officials are currently working to redistribute cases and rearrange judges’ schedules to accommodate this new situ-
ation, but added that the process is ongoing. Miknis also said that Ruest did not give a timeframe for how long her voluntarily recusal might last. The two remaining judges who can hear criminal cases — Kistler and Judge Jonathan Grine — will take on the criminal cases originally scheduled to heard by Ruest. Kistler said that the county will also use more senior judges and out-of-county judges to help lighten the load, but will try to not rely too heavily on outside judges. “This does put us in a difficult situation,” Kistler acknowledged. “Having a lot of lead time to make these kinds of institutional changes is one thing, but to be in position where we had to have this done by Monday is another.” Ruest is now the second common pleas judge who will not hear criminal cases, leaving half of the county’s judges limited in their abilities. Judge Bradley Lunsford was barred from hearing criminal cases by an order from Kistler last December, although the reasoning behind that order was not made public. Kistler said Lunsford, who is seeking retention by the voters, now predominately handles custody cases. Kistler said its common for larger counties to divide their judges into certain specialties, but that such divisions are unusual for a county with only four judges. Ruest did not immediately return requests for comment.

State High Project costs climb $10 million since referendum By ALEXA LEWIS news@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — In a special meeting on Aug. 31, the State College Area School District’s board discussed the State High Project’s final cost estimate, which is now more than $10 million above the original spending cap. The project’s architecture firm, Crabtree, Rohrbaugh & Associates, calculated the 90 percent estimate of the final project to be $129,441,575. “We’ve seen throughout this project that the costs have propped up,� said board member Jim Pawelczyk during the board’s discussion of the firm’s 90 percent estimate. When two state grants are factored into the estimate, the cost drops to $125,506,183, according to a press release. This estimate would require about $10.5 million more in funding than the original $115 million estimated budget from the time of the May 2014 referendum vote. The school district will fund the increased budget using an additional $10 million from allocations in the district’s capital plan, amounting to $30 million in non-referendum borrowing for the project. The district will fund the rest of the project using the $85 million in referendum debt and $10 million in capital reserves. “I think some people are confused about the referendum in relation to the final costs,� said board member Dorothea Stahl. “The referendum is the referendum amount. It does not change based on what the final cost is.� Changes in the scope of the State High Project created the need to allocate an additional $10 million from the district’s capital plan, according to a press release. From the amount of material to the unit costs and site work costs, the school district’s plant director Ed Poprik said, “We are seeing increases in nearly every category.� The design team told board members during the meeting that they can also attribute the increase in the 90 percent final estimate to costs of material such as concrete, masonry, metals, wood and finishes, as well as more square footage in performing arts and gym additions and fluctuating market prices. The 90 percent estimate also includes the overall summer site work cost and other site components, the $300,000 traffic light and design changes which account for an additional $200,000. CentrePeace, from page 1 Much of the work that is done at CentrePeace is done by inmates on work release from the Centre County Correctional Facility. “During our recent move, we had about 14 inmates working on our crew,� said Brewster. “Our normal crew is between eight and 10 inmates, individuals who want to give back to the community.� The CentrePeace mission is about far more than used furniture sales. “We try to teach life skills to the inmates, including self-respect, respect for others and responsibility,� said Brewster. “Our greatest challenge is the recidivism rate. Sixty percent of inmates will re-offend within three years.� Lately, it is becoming increasingly difficult for inmates
ALEXA LEWIS/The Gazette
STATE COLLEGE Area School District board members discussed the updated estimate cost and revised calendar for the State High Project during their special meeting on Aug. 31. “It doesn’t take much in the unit price when you have these kind of quantities,� said John Beddia, from the project’s architectecture firm, in a press release. The design team also presented a revised and accelerated project calendar to the board in the special meeting. The original calendar opened bidding for the eight bid packages on Tuesday, Nov. 10, and awarded bids on Monday, Nov. 23, but the accelerated schedule now opens bidding on Thursday, Nov. 5, and awards bids on Monday, Nov. 16. “We are working internally to try to facilitate a shortened bid window for contractors and to get advanced information out to them as it becomes public and allow them to at least have some access to documents early in to secure work release permission, said Brewster. “It has to be approved by a large group of people, including judges and the district attorney,� Brewster said. In addition to helping inmates learn the value of work at the CentrePeace warehouse, the mission includes work at the two state correctional institutions. “At Rockview and Benner Township we work with special needs units on a weekly basis. We offer 10- to 12-week courses on nonviolent solutions to problems. We help inmates understand that they are responsible for their behaviors,� he said. Brewster is very happy with CentrePeace’s new home. “People are making comments about how wonderful this place is,� he said. “The staff and volunteers enjoy the air-conditioning. “I always dreamed we’d have a place like this. I’m happy we made it.�
the process,� Poprik said. Some board members, including Jim Leous, said they are concerned that the accelerated calendar will not give contractors time to make bids. “I think what we all desire is quality bids,� Leous said before the board and design team. In response to Leous, Poprik said he is confident contractors will come forward if they are not able to produce bids within the timeframe. The team also outlined a contingency schedule if complications should arise. Dates for the contingency calendar are two weeks after the accelerated date and one week after the original date. After the eight bid packages are awarded, Jeff Straub, who is also from the project’s architecture firm, said he expects some contractors on site toward the end of December or early January. “There will be a lot of paperwork back and forth in the month of December,� said Straub.

Local meetinghouse installing solar panels By ALEXA LEWIS news@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — The State College Friends Meeting is installing about 62 solar panels that will power the entire complex leading to an anticipated zero cost in energy bills moving forward. “It has both a very symbolic effect that we are walking our talk when it comes to environmental stewardship and the very practical application of we don’t have to pay electricity bills anymore,” said Selden Smith, the clerk of the Quaker organization. The project is now about a year in the works, but the local contracting company Envinity began installation of the solar panels on Aug. 31 and expects to complete the project by about Sept. 11. Smith said the environmental benefits were the leading decision behind the meeting’s decision to use funds that a Quaker family donated to the meeting about a year ago on solar panels. Stephen Tuttle, who’s late parents Russel and Carol Tuttle gave the funds to the meeting in their will, said the panels are a
“public demonstration” to show support of a method that is cleaner and less destructive than burning fossil fuels. When the project is complete, those walking by the meeting, located at 611 E. Prospect Ave., will find it hard to miss the panels positioned on the roof of the singlestory education building, which houses the meeting’s preschool and Sunday school. “The panels will become a permanent visual fixture in the community for some time,” said Jason Grottini from Envinity. Grottini also pointed out the economic benefits of what he described as a “longterm investment, similar to purchasing a bond or mutual fund.” The project has a 12-year payback period, which means in that time the meeting will recoup the money spent on the project. But solar products generally have a 25-year production guarantee and warranty, Grottini said. “It’s about as guaranteed an investment as you can have,” he said. The meeting is not alone in its longterm investment as the market for solar

Penn State to hold ‘call to action’ against sexual assault By ZACH BERGER StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State president Eric Barron’s battle against sexual assault and harassment is going public next week. The president will be joined by student leaders, administrators and faculty for an event at the HUB “to call upon the community to continue to raise awareness for these issues.” The event, “Penn State Call to Action: Stopping Sexual Misconduct,” was announced by the university in a press release Aug. 31 and will be held at the HUB from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 8. It is
part of Penn State’s ongoing effort to put a stop to sexual assault and harassment on campus. “The steps being taken to combat sexual assault and harassment show the university’s commitment to addressing this issue,” Barron said. Barron previously accepted 18 recommendations made by the Task Force on Sexual Assault and Harassment in February and the university has begun implementing many of them. “Those recommendations — from creating a Title IX coordinator position and office with support staff to creating a new model for investigating sexual misconduct — are already being implemented,” Bar-

ron said. “Our work does not stop there, however, and we look forward to coming together to bring those goals to fruition.” Some of the recommendations that have come to fruition include a climate survey of students to gauge their opinion on the issue — which will take place this semester — and a bystander intervention training program. Call to Action will provide the community with an update on the university’s work to combat sexual assault and discussion on the progress it had made implementing the recommendations. Damon Sims, vice president for student affairs, led the task force and said the event will be another step in the right direction.
“We’ve made significant headway in these efforts, but there are still opportunities for growth,” Sims said. “The Call to Action will provide a place to discuss where we are now, what challenges we continue to face and what the next steps will be when it comes to addressing sexual violence.” The event will feature a panel discussion moderated by Sims.

New State College art studio doesn’t just offer classes By ALEXA LEWIS news@centrecountygazette.com
STATE COLLEGE — The Makery is a new arts and crafts studio in downtown State College with the ability to adapt to accommodate just about any group of people for a wide variety of events. “The studio has a very airy, urban look, particularly for State College, and it’s very flexible and creative,” said The Makery’s owner and director, Amy Frank. “We can very quickly convert from a kids class to a cocktail party. We’ve had to do that within two hours.” The studio, located at 209 W. Calder Way, is a “creative collective” offering art classes and workshops, parties and creative events for many age groups in its purposefully designed studio. With the front wall space covered in glass and a brick-exposed, industrial interior with high ceilings decorated with lanterns, Frank said the studio is warm, inviting and nurtures creativity. “I am hopeful that as we progress, it will be a real place for the community to come together,” she added. “There has been a lot of interest across various age groups including kids, their parents, college students and retirees.” However, many of the events at the Makery combine both social and creative elements for individuals 21 and older. The “Make and Mingle” event, which is limited to individuals 21 and older, will provide attendees with wine and other refreshments while they “mingle” and participate in a craft activity. The event takes place from 7 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 4, during First Friday in downtown State ColSolar, from page 4 energy leaves its niche market, catering to a more mainstream consumer, Grottini said. Envinity has installed more than 100 solar arrays in the Centre Region and there is significant potential for job growth in the solar market in the next five years, he said. The demand for solar energy in the United States is at an all-time high with installations growing 17-fold since 2008, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. As of 2014, solar rooftop panels cost about 50 percent of what they did three years ago. While solar hardware costs have fallen, the U.S. Department of Energy reported that the biggest hurdle to affordable energy is the “soft costs” constituting up to 64 percent of the costs of a residential system. And local permitting and inspection processes can add more than $2,500 to the soft costs.

lege. Tickets are $20 and available online or at the event. “It will be our first first Friday,” Frank said with a laugh. She plans to hold a “Make and Mingle” during every First Friday. The studio partially opened in June for summer camp and other select activities, after its original location in Boalsburg closed after about four years of operation. Starting Tuesday, Sept. 8, the studio will adopt its full hours, which are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesdays through Saturdays. “We are ready,” Frank. “We are ready to expand this to a broader population, specifically a student population.” Once the studio is in full-time mode, its seven instructors will offer more classes and workshops in areas including jewelry design, knitting and glass fusion. The studio also offers classes for children, including a young designers club on Mondays and Thursdays where girls ages 8 to 14 learn to sew a different project each week. Other events that combine socializing and art for 21-and-older individuals include art and wine nights and a class called “Marbling and Mimosas” set to begin in October. “It’s really nice to be able to have an event where you can create and be with friends or make new friends and also have a nice evening out,” Frank said. “You get to do both in one night.” The studio also has offered many private events for groups of Penn State students, even those who aren’t 21. Frank said classes generally occur between 3:30 and 7:30 p.m., but college students have expressed interest in studio time. The Makery is considering offering a late-night open-studio “It would be great if everyone’s roofs was covered with solar panels,” Smith said. “But not everyone has a big chunk of money dropped on them.” While there are still market barriers, there are direct cost savings associated with solar energy. These savings result in diverting use of energy produced by the utility grid, which is a system that transmits electricity from a generator to the consumer. “For every kilowatt being generated on site from solar panels is power not being generated from a coal plant,” Grottini said. The meeting is using a “net balance” or net metering system, Grottini said, meaning the energy that the solar panels produce will connect directly with the existing electrical meter. This means that when the solar panels produce more energy than what is needed on site, the excess electricity is returned through the grid and the utility company credits the site’s account

IN ADDITION TO art classes and workshops, the Makery hosts a variety of social events where adults can mingle. event, in response to students’ requests, starting in mid-October. The studio also offers private parties, including birthday and holiday celebrations and bridal showers. Along with the First Friday event on Sept. 4, the Makery is also launching a gift
boutique in a small alcove in the studio. The boutique will offer reasonably priced local and regional art. “There are very few places downtown or in State College in general where you can buy locally or regionally produced artwork,” said Frank.
for subsequent months. During months where the panels may not produce as much energy as needed, the site can tap into energy provided through the existing grid. At the end of the first year, Grottini said the meeting is likely to have a net zero balance or zero energy bills. In other words,
he expects the panels to return as much energy to the utility company as the site purchases. “Sustainable living is in the forefront of local news,” said Polly Dunn, a meeting member. “We hope our story can benefit others who may be considering making changes in the way they live.”

Centre County attorney accuses DA of playing politics through courts
Shooting, from page 1 confirmed in an email on Aug. 31 that his office concluded after an autopsy that Nuria Kudlach’s cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head and was a homicide. The district attorney’s office said police questioned Kudlach, who said that he and his wife had an argument the night before the shooting. The couple was also planning on meeting with a divorce lawyer the day of the shooting. During further questioning the day after the incident, Kudlach told police that his wife was threatening him with a kitchen knife. He said he grabbed his pistol from a backpack in the dining room to defend himself and approached his wife while she was getting a cup of coffee. He then shot her three times in the left side, including her face, police said. An autopsy showed that Nuria Kudlach was not facing her husband when she was shot, according to the district attorney’s office. The office also reported that the Kudlachs’ son, who was in the adjoining room at the time of the incident, did not hear an argument relating to the knife or mention of the knife. Kudlach was taken to the Centre Coun-

ty Correctional Facility on Aug. 31 after his arrest and was formally arraigned on Sept. 1 in front of Centre County Common Please Judge Jonathan Grine. Grine denied the bail request and a preliminary hearing has also been scheduled. According to police, other charges were made against Kudlach, including aggravated assault.
Running, from page 1
“This is our favorite part of the journey, where we get to donate a gift of mobility to a child,” he explained. “That inspires me and motivates me every single day to put in the miles that we put in. We look forward to be able to give that gift of mobility to kids like Dominic.” The Sauter family lives in State College. Nathan and his wife, Joy, adopted Dominic and his brother, Justin, in 2009. The family was thrilled that they were chosen as one of the families who would receive a running chair. “We’re very grateful. We could’ve gone through a year of paperwork trying to get a stroller for him,” Sauter said. For the Evans family, the stop in Bellefonte marked the 13th state. They planned on reaching 15 states during the journey. “We’re just coming down the homestretch,” Evans said. “It’s really special to be here with everyone.”
According to Evans, they’ve been running distances just like that every single day of the trek. There have been some challenges along the way. Because of road and weather conditions, there are days when Shamus has had to ride in an RV while his father runs. “When he’s not with me, he’s in my heart,” Evans said. The idea of running across the United States was Shamus’ idea. Once he came up with the idea, he talked to his father about giving running chairs to other children who were less fortunate. “It’s about spreading that mission of inclusion and the gift of mobility,” Evans said. On this day, the Evanses were donating a running chair to the Sauter family. According to Evans, it’s simply an amazing feeling.

BELLEFONTE — As District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller launches a new legal assault against county officials she claims conspired against her, the county’s attorney is accusing Parks Miller of a kind of conspiracy of her own. “This is clearly an attempt to manipulate the political process in Centre County,” said attorney Mary Lou Maierhofer, who represents the county through its insurance program. Parks Miller is suing the county commissioners and other county officials for allegedly conspiring to defame her. Maierhofer said “the timing here is critical,” noting that the DA has filed her lawsuit just two months before the November election, at which time all three county commissioners will be seeking reelection. Though Maierhofer strongly disputes Parks Miller’s allegations against the county, she maintains that the litigation is, at least in part, an attempt to sway the election. Bruce Castor, an attorney for Parks Miller, called this idea “nonsense.” He said the lawsuit is aimed at holding those who accused Parks Miller of forgery accountable. “The county commissioners violated the civil rights of the DA and defamed her,” Castor said in an email. “In or out of office, they should be held to account along with Penn State, from page 4 associate professor of philosophy and women’s studies; and Shawn Lichvar, president of the Council of Commonwealth Student Governments. “A tangible reduction in violence will be a result of comprehensive and sustained efforts throughout campus,” Tenny said. “There have been people working for a
anyone who assisted them. The suit will not go away no matter how the election turns out.” Castor also told StateCollege.com that he believes a changing of the guard is needed within the county government, and maintains “the voters well within reason might bounce one of the commissioners out.” Maierhofer maintains that county commissioners Steve Dershem, Chris Exarchos and Michael Pipe responded appropriately when they were presented with an affidavit alleging Parks Miller had forged a judge’s signature on a court order at a public meeting. Castor and Parks Miller have said on many occasions that Parks Miller had already referred the forgery allegations to the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General before they were ever made public. The OAG later determined that there was no evidence with which to charge Parks Miller with forgery. Maierhofer denied that the commissioners were a part of any alleged conspiracy, and said the laws dictating how they were required to handle the allegations are not as clear-cut as Castor and Parks Miller claim. Maierhofer said she will file preliminary objections to the lawsuit “on behalf of most, if not all” of the county defendants in the coming days. long time to reduce sexual misconduct at Penn State, and my hope is that these recommendations will complement the work that has already been done to move this effort forward, and ultimately that it results in fewer people getting hurt.” Call to Action will be live-streamed by WPSU at www.calltoaction.psu.edu or can be followed on Twitter at #PSUCalltoAction.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Fluoridation important to people of Bellefonte We are deeply disturbed over the news that fluoridation will be discontinued in Bellefonte. We appreciate that financial concerns arising from the state’s mandates for upgrades of the fluoridation system drove this decision. However, fluoridation has had a revolutionary effect on the dental health of children. We owe it to our children to provide this public health service. The CDC notes: “Community water fluoridation is recommended by nearly all public health, medical, and dental organizations including the American Dental Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, U.S. Public Health Service, and World Health Organization. Because of its contribution to the dramatic decline in tooth decay in the United States since the 1960s, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention named community water fluoridation one of 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century.” http://www.cdc.gov/fluoridation/ We have expressed our concern to the borough, and our hope that the borough will revisit this decision, and if necessary, call on the multiple gifts and talents of this community to evaluate how fluoridation can be made accessible to the children of Bellefonte.

OPINION
Let the buyer beware ... mail, or on billboards or buses.” I wonder what the FTC will say when they receive the copy of the local scam letter and what the ramifications will be for this less-thantruthful attempt to make a sale. Unfortunately, it’s not just the car industry, although they are stereotypically labeled as the pros at scamming the consumer. Make-up and potions. Exercise equipment and health products. From shampoo to cleaning products, the FTC almost can’t keep up with the latest “this is the best product ever made” scams of those trying to make a buck come up with. I have fallen prey to the occasional car dealer scam myself, so we now only go to one dealer who we trust and know we get a fair deal. I also bought a set of Ginzu knives that thankfully can still slice a tomato and cut a can open and I’ve had them for 20-plus years. The disturbing thing for me in the bait-and-switch letter that my friend received was that this is a business and people who live and work right here in Centre County. You see their banners at charity functions and their radio and TV ads promise that they value their customers as neighbors. How low does one have to stoop to scam a neighbor? They lost a customer in my friend and her husband who won’t ever buy another car at that dealer — a dealer that her parents and family have trusted with their car needs for years. She’s shared the incident with me and with others who will hopefully pass it on. Let’s hope the word gets out before someone falls prey to the tactics of a salesperson so motivated to sell that he has lost sight of his personal integrity. For the rest of us, it’s a good lesson on if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Carter: A study in quiet courage By The Washington Post Cool, composed and as forthright as ever, former president Jimmy Carter said in a recent news conference that, in the wake of a cancer diagnosis, he is “perfectly at ease with whatever comes.” The way Mr. Carter handled the conference underscores the grace with which he has conducted his entire post-presidency, and only makes it harder for the rest of us to be perfectly at ease with the possibility of his passing. Mr. Carter at times has stirred controversy with his deeply held views on the Middle East and other global challenges. Yet even those who have found themselves disagreeing with him,

Now, as he begins treatment for a cancer that has spread to his brain, Mr. Carter again offers a model of quiet courage, neither fatalistic nor unrealistic, expressing more concern for his loved ones than for himself. We have no doubt that others facing illness will find inspiration in his example. Like all Americans, we wish Mr. Carter the best with his ongoing treatment. Any ex-president could do a lot worse than have it said that, after years at the helm, he just wanted to farm some peanuts, save some lives and then go fishing.

Mr. Carter has spent the years after his single term as president focusing not on constructing a lavish library-memorial, nor on earning millions through speechmaking, but on substantive, civic-spirited initiatives intended to improve the world in ways both big and small. With the Carter Center, Mr. Carter has advocated for democracy abroad and helped stamp out preventable diseases in underdeveloped countries. His work in both spheres has helped save lives, whether by countering dictatorships or Guinea worms. In and near Plains, Ga., where he grew up and worked as a peanut

Heavy smokers gain the most weight after quitting HERSHEY — For smokers, the number of cigarettes smoked per day and current body mass index are predictive of changes in weight after quitting smoking, according to researchers at Penn State College of Medicine. Quitting smoking may lead to some weight gain, but how much weight gain depends on the individual. Previous research shows that for some it can be just a few pounds, but for others it can be more than 25 pounds. Unfortunately, factors that can help predict the amount of weight a smoker may gain are not well understood. “Many smokers are concerned about gaining weight after quitting smoking and this can be a barrier for them when they are considering whether or not to make a quit attempt,” said Susan Veldheer, the study’s lead author and a registered dietitian in the Department of Public Health
Sciences at Penn State College of Medicine. “Being able to easily identify smokers who may gain more weight when they quit is important so that we can work with patients to tailor their treatment plan.” To better understand personal factors that may contribute to weight gain, the researchers analyzed data from 12,204 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. They looked at the number of cigarettes smoked per day and body mass index before quitting, to see how these factors may have affected weight change over 10 years. Findings were reported in International Journal of Obesity. The researchers compared the change in weight for non-smokers, continuing smokers and smokers who quit. “People tend to put on some weight over time and everyone in the study gained weight. The
non-smokers gained about a pound a year for 10 years,” said Veldheer. The researchers then compared the weight gain in smokers who quit and smokers who continued smoking. What they found is that for smokers of fewer than 15 cigarettes per day, there was no significant difference in the 10-year weight gain between those who quit smoking and those who did not quit. “This is good news for light-to-moderate smokers who are concerned about weight gain. It means that in the long term, quitting smoking will not make that big of an impact on their weight,” said Veldheer. However, for smokers of 25 or more cigarettes per day and those who were obese prior to quitting (body mass index of 30 or more), the amount of weight gain attributable to quitting was substantial. Smokers of 25 or more cigarettes per day reported
Roe joins physician group
Urologists expand practice
STATE COLLEGE — Mount Nittany Health recently announced the addition of Dr. Kevin Roe to Mount Nittany Physician Group’s nephrology practice at Mount Nittany Health-Park Avenue. “A big part of my personality is helping people,” said Roe. “I have a family history in medicine.

He completed his internship at Delaware County Memorial Hospital in Drexel Hill, a part of the Crozer-Keystone Health System. He then went on to complete a residency in internal medicine, where he was selected as chief resident, and a fellowship in nephrology at Penn State Hershey Medical Center. “The personal rapport that Mount Nittany Physician Group providers have with patients is what brought me here to work,” said Roe.

23 pounds of smoking cessation-attributable weight gain, and obese smokers reported 16 pounds of weight gain that could be directly attributed to quitting. “Although this may seem like a lot of weight, it is important for all smokers to remember that quitting smoking is the single most important thing that they can do for their health,” said Veldheer. “That being said, for heavy smokers and obese smokers, it may be a good idea to work on quitting smoking while also making other healthy lifestyle changes to control their weight.” Other researchers for the study are Jessica Yingst, research coordinator; Junjia Zhu, assistant professor of public health sciences; and Jonathan Foulds, professor of public health sciences and psychiatry.

Program honors county’s outstanding young women By ALEXA LEWIS news@centrecountygazette.com
BELLEFONTE — The 13 finalists in the Centre County’s Outstanding Young Woman scholarship program are preparing to go before judges on Saturday, Sept. 12. Earlier this year, candidates applied to the program — which is held annually to honor a female Centre County high school senior — and finalists were chosen in May. The finalists will be judged in five categories: a 120-second performance for the creative and performing arts portion; a fitness routine for the aerobics and fitness category; a choreographed routine for the presence and presentation category; a look at school transcripts and scholastic

test scores for the scholarship and achievement portion; and answers to questions during a 10-minute interview. But, as program director Linnea Ripka made clear, the Centre County’s Outstanding Young Woman serves a purpose beyond awarding one student with a scholarship. “When you have some of the young ladies that aren’t so sure of themselves and they don’t necessarily have high self-esteem, what this program does is, it brings them out of their shells and helps them become confident,” Ripka said. In the weeks leading up to the program, finalists go on a weekend retreat, gain interviewing skills through a workshop and have the opportunity to bond with one another. Even though judges choose just one of the 13 finalists
as the winner, Ripka said, “Because they got to this point, they are all winners.” In addition to the scholarship, judges give out two awards in each of the categories that finalists are judged in, according to Ripka. The program starts at 6:30 p.m. at the Bellefonte Area High School and tickets are available at the door. The event will start with a choreographed opening number, followed by the judging of creative and performing arts, presence and presentation, and fitness. The runner-up from last year’s program will return to emcee, and also will perform during the event. The program will conclude with a slideshow and the awards ceremony.

Model planes compete in Potter Township By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
CENTRE HALL — The skies over Centre Air Park in Potter Township were filled with airplanes performing precision aerobatics in competition, but no one was risking his life by flying. The planes were radio-controlled models competing in an International Miniature Aerobatic Club contest hosted by the State College Radio Control Club on Aug. 29 and 30. Brad Davy, northeast regional director for IMAC, explained the goal of the organization. “Our objective is to duplicate full-scale aerobatics with miniature radio-controlled aircraft in a realistic manner that is challenging for contestants, as well as interesting for spectators,” he said. The word “miniature” is a bit misleading, as the models flown in these events are not small or toy-like. They have wingspans of 6 to 10 feet, and are powered by gasoline engines similar to those in large chainsaws and small motorcycles. In all but the basic or beginner class, the planes must be scale models of actual planes used in full-size aerobatic contests. Pilot figures are required to be under the planes’ canopies for added realism. Larger and heavier models tend to be more visible to the judges, and are more resistant to windy conditions than their smaller counterparts. The pilots use redundant radio systems with multiple receivers and servos, which move the con-

Davy noted that safety is very important in IMAC events and that all flying must be done at least 100 feet away from judges and spectators.
Davy said IMAC competition originated in America and quickly spread to many foreign countries. The first world competition was held last September in Muncie, Ind. Earle Andrews, who competed in the
Centre Air Park event, was a member of the American team in that competition. Andrews flew in full-scale aerobatic contests before becoming an IMAC competitor. “Models allow me to do this without spending all my money or risking my life,” he said. Andrews was one of 18 pilots who came to Centre Air Park from locations in Pennsylvania, Maryland and New York to compete. He praised the spirit of cooperation and camaraderie seen among the model flyers. “I crashed my plane at an event once, and I had four offers from other pilots to use their planes to finish the competition,” he said. IMAC competitors fly their models in a prescribed sequence of aerobatic maneuvers, which vary in difficulty in the different classes. Each maneuver is judged on its precision and smooth, realistic performance on a zero- to 10-point scoring scale. The pilots know the sequence of maneuvers for their class in advance, and can practice before coming to the competition. But, in the “unknown” event, pilots are given different sequence diagrams at the contest which they can study, but not practice. The contestants also serve as judges for the event. SCRC president Jon Guizar said this was the club’s first attempt at hosting an IMAC event, and he was pleased at the turnout of pilots and the help from Davy and SCRC members in organizing and running the contest. He hopes the club will host similar events in the future.

Pedal tractor pull delights Grange Fair crowd By SAM STITZER
pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com
CENTRE HALL — Tractor and truck pulls are a major attraction at the Grange Fair. Farm tractors and pickup trucks, as well as highly modified machines, compete to see who can drag the weight sled the farthest down the dirt track as they unleash clouds of smoke and ear-splitting noise. And, these pulling events attract many entrants. But, the tractor pull that attracts the most entrants uses tractors that make no smoke or noise because they do not have engines: Their power is supplied by pedals pushed by children ages 3 to 10. The pedal tractor pull typically draws about 150 entrants and fills the bleachers along the track with spectators. The event is held on a specially made concrete track located in front of the main pulling track. The kids all use the same pedal tractors and weight sled, supplied by Norm Wen-
rick, of Aaronsburg, who has been directing the pedal pulls for more than 30 years. Weights on the sled vary according to the puller’s age, and a full pull in this event is 31 feet. This is the 31st year for the pedal tractor pull. More than 4,500 children have participated since the event began in 1985. Each participant gets a lollipop and a pedal pull sticker and trophies are awarded to the top five pullers in each age category. The first puller of the day was 3-year-old Raelee Cleaver, of Milesburg, who racked up a 29-foot pull, beating all her competitors. Her mother, Danielle, said this was Raelee’s first pulling contest, and she was very proud of her win. Watching the 4-year-olds, Jan and Norma Crater, of Centre Hall, cheered on their grandson Jonathan Seiler, of Paxinos, as he pedaled to a fourth-place finish. The event is aimed toward the participants having a good time. “The kids have a lot of fun doing this,” said Wenrick.
STATE COLLEGE — Four local Boy Scouts were recently recognized during a National Court of Honor for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. The four, members of Boy Scout Troop 31 of the Juniata Valley Council, chartered to St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in State College, are Kevin Louis Doncsecz, Robert Thomas Butler, Robert Lee Johns III and Eric Robert Heatwole. They all graduated from State College Area High School the day before their Court of Honor. Doncsecz, 18, is the son of Joe and Annie Doncsecz, of State College, and the 174th Eagle Scout from Troop 31. For his Eagle service project, Doncsecz designed and provided leadership to oversee the construction and installation of an information kiosk at Homestead Park in Ferguson Township. Both the township and the public can now use the kiosk to post information about upcoming events at the park and surrounding area. Doncsecz is attending Penn State this fall to study engineering. Butler, 18, is the son of Rob and Darcy Butler, of State College, and the 175th Eagle Scout from his troop. For his service project, Butler provided the leadership to completely redesign and rebuild the bird feeder and bird study area at the Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center in Petersburg. The feeder area is used year-round for
visitor enjoyment, student education and migratory bird research by staff, interns and guests. Butler is a freshman studying film and video in the Penn State College of Communications. Johns, 18, is the son of Bob and Beth Johns, of State College. Johns is the 176th Eagle Scout from his troop and for his project he designed, organized and built a paved walkway at Housing Transitions, a nonprofit that provides housing services to Centre County residents in need. The walkway offers wheelchair access connecting an existing ramp to the house parking lot. Johns is enrolled in the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps at Penn State this fall and will be studying mechanical engineering. Heatwole, 18, is the son of Dave Heatwole and Jane Utzman, of State College. Heatwole is the 177th Eagle Scout from Troop 31. For his Eagle service project, he provided leadership for the installation of a sign, footpath and landscaping at Grace Lutheran Church Preschool and Kindergarten in State College. The path connects the church’s sidewalk to the sidewalk on Beaver Avenue. Heatwole has enrolled at Bloomsburg University to study accounting and run on the university’s cross-country and track teams.

Grange Fair: There’s always something new to experience CENTRE HALL — As a Centre Hall native, I grew up with the tradition of the Grange Fair happening at the end of every summer. I have attended the fair for all my 66 years. My parents and grandparents went to the fair, as did my sons and, now, my step-grandchildren. It’s a tradition that’s deeply embedded in our lives and in the culture of central Pennsylvania. Some people may scoff at the fair, saying it’s the same thing every year, but I think that’s one of its attractions. In an ever-changing world, it’s reassuring to return every summer to something that remains mostly constant throughout the years. But, the fair is not quite the same every year. It’s a dichotomy of tradition and change. Historically, Sam Stitzer covers the fair has seen many Penns Valley for changes over its 141 the Centre County years. In 1887, the first Gazette. Email him tents were erected. In at pennsvalley@ 1890, Grange Park was centrecounty established. In 1892, gazette.com. the fair got a telephone, and in 1916 electricity was wired into the grounds. The grounds were expanded several times over the years and now, with 264 acres, Grange Park is the largest fairgrounds in the state. In 2011, a 150-by-300-foot indoor equine arena was added. This year, the fair was lengthened from seven to nine days. One new enterprise at this year’s fair was Kandy Kingdom, a nostalgic candy store reminiscent of the penny candy counters seen in the stores of days gone by. It was filled with rows of boxes of items such as root beer barrels, caramels, licorice, lollipops, bubble gum, fireballs, novelty candies and more. The store was located in the former arcade building, where

generations of teenagers spent countless hours feeding coins into pinball machines, and later, video games. Kandy Kingdom is operated by Carl “Moonie” Snyder and Brian Miller. Snyder, who lives in New Cumberland, is a Penns Valley High School classmate of mine from the class of 1967, and had operated a popular food stand at the fair for nearly 30 years. Earlier this year, he and Miller hit on the idea of opening Kandy Kingdom, thinking it would be a popular attraction at Grange Fair. They were right. The place was busy all through the fair, with customers lining up to buy some of the sweet memories of their childhood. Snyder, who is diabetic, joked about having a candy store. “How about that?” he quipped. “A guy who’s diabetic opens a candy store.” I stopped by Kandy Kingdom on the evening of Aug. 28 and saw another classmate, Mike Glasgow, there. We had a miniclass reunion, reminiscing about our time in the Penns Valley band long ago and swapping stories of misbehaving on band trips. This encounter pointed out another pleasant aspect of Grange Fair: It’s a big reunion, where people meet old friends, classmates and relatives once a year. There was something new and very different among the entertainers at the fair this year. The Circus Una Motorcycle Thrill Show performed on a high wire about 30 feet above the tractor pull track several times on Aug. 28 and 29. Former circus trapeze performers Una Mimnagh and Russian-born Miss Ekaterina and motorcyclist Sara Young make up this team of female daredevils. Young rides a modified dualsport bike equipped with an underslung two-person trapeze uphill about 100 feet on an inclined tightwire, coasting back down to the opposite end several times during the act. Mimnagh and Ekaterina ride the trapeze in different positions, including hanging upside-down ra from their feet. At the end of the act, Young stops the bike in the middle of the highwire’s length, and the women begin swing-

Mimnagh said that even though she is from Hershey, and Young hails from Selinsgrove, this was their first visit to the Grange Fair, and they were impressed by it. Following each of the 10-minute perfor-
mances, the team hosted hula hoop parties beside the track for young spectators and posed with many of the kids for photos. So, even though the fair is famous for its traditions, there really is something new to catch your attention every year, making the Grange Fair a continuous attraction for all of its 141 years — and many more years to come.

‘Stuff the Bus’ event provides kids with school supplies STATE COLLEGE — The goal of the Centre County Youth Service Bureau’s “Stuff the Bus” event was to make sure local children were ready for the new school year and did not have to worry about having necessary supplies. The YSB staff recently stuffed bags with notebooks, pencils, glue sticks, erasers and markers, and invited families to come in and pick up school supplies. The generosity of Centre County residents and businesses played a large role in the success of this year’s event. Collaborative efforts between Forever Broadcasting, Chick-fil-A, HealthSouth, Cole Transportation and National Penn Bank initiated this year’s “Stuff the Bus.” For more information, or to make a donation, call YSB at (814) 237-5731.

She plans to introduce some new menu items for the fall, including her Vietnamese bahn mi sandwich, recently showcased during the Boalsburg Farmers Market’s Golden Basket competition, where it won two awards for Best Entrée and Best Use of Local Ingredients. Bowser unveiled a new sign to be placed on the building’s exterior wall facing Main Street. The sign features a new logo, created by State College-based Rowland Creative, which began crafting it based on the idea of community and the feeling of belonging somewhere. “We wanted the logo to feel handcrafted, because that’s what Elk Creek stands for. The roots speak to where the food comes from, the frothy beer alludes to the brewery and fresh quality of ingredients, and the farm fields in the background is Penns Valley,” said David Spak, a designer at Rowland Creative who created the logo. “We hope that this new brand will grow the business and also add many new members to the Elk Creek community.” Artist Karl Leitzel, who operates the Green Drake Gallery across the street from the Elk Creek Café, made the new sign. Bowser said the new logo does not indicate any major changes at the café. “We don’t intend to change who we are, what we do or how we do it, but maybe how we look and how we’re representing to the outside world,” he said. Bowser also introduced the Elk Creek Café’s general manager, Amy Seaton, thanking her for her work making the café successful. Seaton was enthusiastic about Elk Creek’s future. “We are going forward here — we’re going to do some great things,” she said. “You better hold on — we’re going for a ride.”

ON THE ROAD AGAIN
Penn State opens 2015 campaign vs. Temple in Philadelphia By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — The Penn State football team does not open its seasons away from Beaver Stadium very often. The Nittany Lions will this year, and even though the trip to Philadelphia to play Temple on Saturday, Sept. 5, could almost be called a quasi-home game, the fact is they will be on the Owls’ home turf at Lincoln Financial Field before a sell-out crowd. Temple hardly ever fills the Linc. That alone will be a huge motivator for the Owls in the opening game for both teams in the 2015 season, but it’s hardly the only one. There is, in fact, a long, long list of reasons why this cross-state rival and its head coach Matt Ruhle would love to spoil the debut of James Franklin’s second Penn State team. Putting aside the record book, the alltime wins for each team, and the fact that Ruhle is a former PSU linebacker, a look back at last year’s game will provide more than enough insight into Temple’s mindset before this game. With just over six minutes to play in the third quarter that day at Penn State, the score was tied 6-6 and the outcome was very much in doubt. But then the Lion defense forced two game-changing turnovers, including a pick-six by freshman Grant Haley, spurring PSU on to a 30-13 win and its first bowl-eligible record since 2011. Penn State rushed for 254 yards for the day and took advantage of four interceptions and a fumble recovery in its sixth win of the season. On the other side of the ledger, Temple came in at 5-4 and looking to become bowl-eligible itself. Instead, the turnovers and inability to stop the PSU running game doomed the Owls to a 6-6 final record — and to go without a bowl bid for the third year in a row. So, the season opener could make up for a crucial loss the Owls certainly only blame themselves for, and they have the talent to do it.
Temple returns 10 defensive starters from 2014, nine offensive starters and 49 lettermen. Junior dual-threat quarterback P.J. Walker led a Temple passing game that averaged 200 yards per game and 13 touchdowns. Walker completed 203 of 381 passes (53 percent) for 2,317 yards and all of the passing touchdowns. The only blot on that record would be the 15 interceptions Walker threw, but four of them came against Penn State. Walker was also one of the leading rushers for Temple. He ran 106 times for 324 yards and three touchdowns, but overall the Owl running game struggled and only produced 107 yards per game. Leading rusher Jahad Thomas (384 yards) does return and so does No. 4 Jamie Gilmore (229), but talk around camp centers on the return of injured Zaire Williams and incoming freshman T.J. Simmons, a speedster originally recruited by UCLA. The Owls are also boosted, just like Penn State, with the return of four starters along the offensive line so hopes are high that the running game will be much improved. “I hope so,” Temple offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield said when asked that question at a recent press conference. “It’s going to have to if we’re going to have the year we want. We have to run the football. That’s a goal of ours, to be more physical. Not to be in one-back all the time but to put in some different formations out there to give us some advantages that we didn’t have last year. “If you look at the landscape of college football, to win conference championships, division championships, you have to run the football. And we have to do that.” Ten starters return to a Temple defense that gave up just 18 points per game last season and 347 yards per game. Owl opponents were only over 30 points four times, with the 34 given up to Central Florida the highest. They also had 27 sacks, 11 interceptions and recovered 19 fumbles.
TIM WEIGHT/For the Gazette
IT WILL BE a big year for Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg as he tries to lead the Lions to the top of the Big Ten and get a jump start on his NFL career.
Sophomore kicker Austin Jones returns, and he was 13-22 in field goal attempts last season (long of 47) and went 30-30 on extra points. As for Penn State, junior quarterback Christian Hackenberg and the rest of the Nittany Lions enter the season with big question marks and even bigger aspirations. The team returns eight offensive starters, seven defensive starters and 40 total lettermen. There’s new experience and more depth across the offensive line, and virtually all of Hackenberg’s skill players return with the exception of running back Bill Belton. More time and more targets should equal more completions for Hackenberg. Belton graduated, but 2014 leading rusher Akeel Lynch returns to a running game that is also looking to drastically improve. Running behind Lynch will be Nick Scott, Mark Allen, Johnathan Thomas and true freshmen Saquan Barkley and Andre Robinson. Penn State averaged just 102 yards on the ground last season, but the numbers gradually improved as the season progressed. Penn State will have to replace kicker Sam Ficken, and there has been a heavy emphasis the entire offseason on improving the special teams overall. Except for Ficken, the Penn State kicking and return games were average at best, and improvements there would be a big boost. Despite the better numbers and depth across the board, Penn State will still be a very young team. Facing an experienced — and highly motivated — Temple team, away, in the first game of the season is not an easy assignment for the Nittany Lions. Still, if they can give Hackenberg some time and recreate last year’s formula of running the ball and forcing turnovers, 2015 could get off to a successful start.

THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY UNIVERSITY PARK — As the Penn State football team readies for another season, there is plenty to look forward to. The Nittany Lions are coming off a thrilling overtime victory over Boston College in the Pinstripe Bowl last year. It was quite a way to close out the year. But, you can only live off that win for so long. The season begins anew on Saturday, Sept. 5, when the Nittany Lions visit the Temple Owls. It’s hard to rate the good, bad and ugly for a season that hasn’t begun, so we’ll just go with the good. ■ The Good, Part I: Christian Hackenberg The signal caller is heading into a big year. It’s his third season at Penn State and it could be a makeor-break year as far as the NFL Draft is concerned. If Hack has a big year, he’s likely gone and a potential top 10 NFL pick. If he doesn’t have a monster year, it means that he will likely stay for his senior season. However, that means the Lions will
likely be looking at another .500 season. ■ The Good, Part II: The schedule Penn State’s schedule is built for success. After the road trip to Temple — which will likely feel like a home game — the Nittany Lions are home for five consecutive weekends. The first six games are extremely winnable, which means Penn State should be undefeated when it heads to the Horseshoe on Saturday, Oct. 17, for a primetime showdown with Ohio State. ■ The Good, Part III: James Franklin, Year 2 Let’s face facts: James Franklin did not have the best season in 2014. The Lions were 4-0 before stumbling down the stretch to finish 6-6. There were some downright ugly losses during the stretch before the aforementioned Pinstripe Bowl victory pulled the season out of the fire. There’s only one way for Franklin to go — up. — Chris Morelli

Palmer expected to get start at left tackle By BEN JONES StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — James Franklin all but confirmed the worst kept secret in State College on Aug. 26 when talking about the highly discussed left tackle position after practice. “If we were playing (this) Saturday, I think Paris is in a position to start at left tackle,’’ Franklin said. It’s a move that has long been anticipated, but not an automatic, as Penn State’s junior college transfer prospect Paris Palmer has struggled in the early stages of his career to get his feet under him. All things considered, Penn State’s abil-
Penn State depth chart has few surprises, answers some questions By BEN JONES StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State football took another step toward this weekend, releasing the first depth chart of the season, answering a few questions while raising a few new ones. Perhaps most noticeably was the departure of tight end Adam Breneman from the depth chart. The redshirt sophomore was set to return this year from an undisclosed injury, joining fellow tight ends Mike Gesicki, Kyle Carter and Brent Wilkerson. Breneman very well could be the result of a slow return from injury despite a strong spring and summer. Perhaps the larger concern for fans, the possibility that the once highly touted tight end has suffered another setback. Equally as surprising, Carter’s steep fall down the roster, third out of three listed tight ends for Week 1. Carter, a once heavily reliable target in the O’Brien system has never quite been the same since his own injury two years ago. Last season Carter was perhaps under-utilized until his bowl game performance against Boston College. At the receiver position Chris Godwin, DaeSean Hamilton and DeAndre Thompkins are listed at the top of the chart. Redshirt junior Geno Lewis comes in on the second team behind Hamilton and should still see significant action as well as freshman Brandon Polk, Saeed Blacknall and towering freshman Juwan Johnson. On the offensive front Penn State will work left to right with the expected crew of Paris Palmer, Brendan Mahon, Angelo Mangiro, Brian Gaia and Andrew Nelson. The highly anticipated freshman running back Saquon Barkley will have to work his way up with rotation coming in fourth behind Akeel Lynch, Mark Allen and Nick Scott respectively. The explosive freshman back still should see his fair share of action though. On defense there are no notable changes or unexpected moves. Brandon Bell, Nyeem Wartman-White and Jason Cabinda will work at linebacker in that order. Garrett Sickles and Carl Nassib on the ends with Austin Johnson and Anthony Zettel inside on the defensive front. Beyond that the depth chart is largely as expected. Joe Julius will take over kicking duties while Daniel Pasquariello kicks off and Chris Gulla holds. Koa Farmer, Saquon
better in his footwork, he’s getting better in his hand placement, he’s getting better in his assignments. He’s more confident in what he’s doing,” Franklin said. “I do think the big difference is, he’s got four other guys next to him that are taking a much more active role in his success, telling him specifically what to do and making the calls.’’ That’s fairly high praise for a player who Franklin said reminded him of the struggles the line had in 2014, perhaps making Franklin’s word of caution a fitting conclusion to all but naming Palmer the starter. “He still has got a long way to go, but I think he’s improved and I think right now, at this point, he gives us the best opportunity to play and play well.’’
flexible lineman of the bunch, his ability to play tackle could have led to a shakeup if Palmer wasn’t ready to go. Beyond that, Brendan Mahon and Brian Gaia are expected to start at left and right guard, respectively, although Derek Dowrey is putting his name into the mix as is Wendy Laruent, who had a strong summer session. “And then the other four (starters) are basically what you’ve seen,’’ Franklin said. “I do think there’s a little bit of a battle going on inside with Gaia, Dowrey and Mahon for those two (guard) spots.’’ But what has Palmer done better to earn the spot in the starting rotation? It’s the little things. “He’s just getting better, he’s getting
ity to get the 6-foot-7, 297-pound Palmer up to speed has been priority No. 1 this summer. The Nittany Lions have plenty of talent on both sides of the ball. Much like last year, though, it comes down to how well the offensive line can play. If Penn State can move the ball there could be something special in the works. Another season of 40-plus sacks, and it might be another bumpy finish. If Palmer is at least serviceable on Christian Hackenberg’s blindside it will mean more than a few good things for fans. For one, it puts Andrew Nelson back at right tackle, the position he is most comfortable in. It also keeps Angelo Mangiro at center for the second straight year — a move that seems obvious, but with Mangiro the most

And so it begins
Area high school football teams ready to kick off the season By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH
Senior quarterback Logan English (1,405 yards, 20 touchdowns) graduated, and no other player attempted a pass for Jersey Shore, so Bellefonte will be pointed toward slowing Lorson and forcing the Bulldogs to pass. Last year, Lorson ran 27 times against Bellefonte for a modest 116 yards and a touchdown. The Red Raiders finished on an upswing with a rousing win over Bald Eagle, and they will be looking to pick up where they left off. The Raiders were down just 9-7 going into the final quarter in 2014, but mistakes led to 22 unanswered Jersey Shore points. The keys this year for Bellefonte will be to hold Lorson and keep it close again into the last quarter, and this time change the outcome.

If any one of the six area Centre County football coaches was asked if he was satisfied with his team’s 2014 regular season, the answer would likely be, “No.” For any number of reasons, they all struggled through tough times, and they all finished with losing records. That’s not to say there were no high points: State College, for example, put it all together after a 4-6 regular season and marched all the way to the state semifinals. It’s because of those high points and flashes of strong play from every team that all the coaches have pointed toward 2015 as a year for improvement and increased competitiveness. Well, 2015 is here, and with a full slate of games in Week 1, everyone’s about to find out if those hopes are to come true.

STATE COLLEGE — The first edition of James Franklin’s 2015-16 weekly radio show fired up the engines on Aug. 27 as he took questions from the audience and offered up his thoughts on the upcoming season. In many cases, the questions were much of what fans have heard before: to explain the offensive line’s progress or to talk about who Penn State’s rival should be. While nothing major may have come out of the show, when Franklin speaks the people listen, so here are a few notables to take home: ■ Telling a freshman he’s going to redshirt. “It’s challenging because all of them were great and dominant high school players that have never sat out a season in their life. So to think they’re not going to play in a game for a year is hard. I try and start those Franklin, Page 23

Skytop Mountain’s par-3 event challenges skills PORT MATILDA — The annual Skytop Mountain Golf Club Par-3 Challenge was held recently on the 6,535-yard course layout that was configured to play every hole as a par 3. The ladies’ champion, with a score of 66, was Karen Krupa, while Jordan Albright took the men’s honors with a score of 65. Both winners took home rather sizable cash purses. “A lot of players showed up believing that this was a chip and putt event,” said Michael Stine, Skytop Mountain course superintendent. “However, the course was John Dixon covers set up in the total golf for The Centre par-3 configuration County Gazette. making use of elevaEmail him at tions and distances in sports@centre order to provide for a countygazette.com. challenging afternoon.

Football, from page 20 repeat of the miscues and turnovers that plagued them last season — in this game and others. Penns Valley (0-0) at Juniata (0-0) Friday, Sept. 4, at 7 p.m. Juniata had an outstanding 9-2 season in 2014, including a 7-1 record in the Tri-Valley Conference and an opening day 29-16 win over Penns Valley. And the Indians are set to equal or even improve on that record. The list of returning players for Juniata is long. Starting quarterback Tyler Clark, who threw for 1,371 yards and 10 touchdowns last season, will return for his junior season. So will leading running back Chanz Swartz. The 6-0, 190-pound junior ran for 1,593 yards last season and 26 touchdowns. He also led the team in receiving and caught 15 passes for 500 yards and another seven touchdowns. On defense, the Indians were strong as well. They gave up more than 21 points in a game only once, and that was in their season-ending loss to Huntingdon, 28-21, in the playoffs. Penns Valley will have a difficult time contending with the run/pass balance of Juniata, but the Rams can put up points as well with all-purpose quarterback Ben Alexander making the calls. Whichever team can slow the other down — and make fewer mistakes — will likely come out the winner. Philipsburg-Osceola (0-0) at West Branch (0-0) Friday, Sept. 4, at 7 p.m. Philipsburg-Osceola’s winless streak continued all last season, but the Mounties showed flashes of improvement under first-year head coach Mike Soyster. This year, the numbers are up for P-O, as is the optimism going into Soyster’s second campaign. First up for the Mounties in a trip to play local rival West Branch in Morrisdale. Last season’s game was the closest loss for P-O, a 30-28 squeaker that saw P-O battle back before falling in the end to the Warriors. West Branch went on to a 2-8 record for the season, winning only once, against Juniata Valley, in the rest of 2014. P-O returns its quarterback, Jake Anderson, its top two rushers, Anderson and Ty Laird, and four of its top five receivers. With this many skill players returning, the Mounties should field a productive offense. Much will depend on the defense, however, as P-O struggled to hold teams below 40 points. This game will present P-O with an opportunity to break through, but the Mountie defense will have to show up and get some stops for that to happen. St. Joeseph’s Academy (0-0) at Halifax (0-0) Friday, Sept. 4, 7 p.m. St. Joe’s beat Halifax in last season’s opener at home, 31-20. Halifax went on to win only one game in 2014, but the Wildcats return both sophomore quarterbacks from last season, both of their top runners and three of their top receivers. Halifax averaged just more than 200 yards per game last season, but with so many skill players returning, that number should improve. St. Joe’s returns nine lettermen from a 2-7 season in 2014, but numbers will be a problem for the Wolves. With just more than 20 players on the roster, most everyone will be playing two ways, and against Halifax saving energy for defense will be important. This looks to be an evenly matched game that could come down to which team makes the fewest mistakes.

Penn State holds fall sports media day By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State women’s volleyball coach Russ Rose, along with senior outside hitters Megan Courtney and Aiyana Whitney, were first to take the microphones during the PSU Fall Sports Media Day on Aug. 26. Not surprisingly, much of the volleyball talk centered around who would replace the four seniors who graduated from last season’s national championship team. “Three of the four players who graduated are playing professionally,” Rose said. “Everybody made a great contribution to the team. We’ll have a new libero, a new setter, a new person in the middle position. It’s a team game, and everyone understands the importance of you can’t replace the impact that Mica (Hancock) had on games, or Dom (Gonzalez) or Lacey (Fuller) or Nia (Grant) had. “You just have to try to do the best that you can do, and if each of the players gets a little better, that closes the gap with the openings that were left behind by graduation. But every year this happens. You have to plan for it.” Probably the most visible of the graduates — and probably the most difficult to replace — was Hancock, who was a four-year starter at setter. “We have two choices (at setter),” Rose said. “I think we’ve been splitting time. Both setters will play this weekend, and at some point in time we’ll have the best handle on what gives us the best chance of having the best team. I think Bryanna (Weiskircher) does some things well, and she’s a little more familiar with what we’re doing. Wilma (Rivera) is a really talented young player with good defensive skills. I can’t really tell you (the starter) right now.” Penn State, no matter who the replacements are, goes into the season as the preseason No. 1 team in the country. But Rose noted, with this many holes to fill, there will be some rough spots ahead for this team. “I think it will be a work in progress, would be my assessment” he said. “We’ve had some teams that have come out of the gate real strong. I think this is going to be one where there’s going to be some bumpy times.” Another team with lofty expectations is the women’s soccer team, already 2-0 for the season and ranked No. 6 in the country. When senior goalie Britt Eckerstrom was asked to describe the 2015 team in one word, she said, “dangerous.” That adjective is already proving to be true. In the team’s two victories so far, five different players have scored goals — Mallory Weber (2), Frannie Crouse, Charlotte Williams, Megan Schafer and Emily Ogle. Weber is a senior, but Crouse, Shafer and Ogle are sophomores and Williams is a freshman. “We are very fortunate this year to have an extremely dangerous attack across the board,” PSU coach Erica Walsh said. “Having so many different threats and weapons creates more opportunities for all of them. There’s not any one player you can focus on at this point on the 2015 team.” Weber, Eckerstrom and Raquel Rodriquez, who played in the World Cup for Costa Rica, are the senior leaders on the team, but the roster has a total of 18 sophomores and freshmen. And along with that potent attack, the Nittany Lion

defense held Loyola Marymount to just five total shots in their 4-2 victory on Aug. 24. “Right now, it’s all about progress,” Walsh said. “Early in the season, making sure were making steps in each game. We chart a lot of different categories, and holding our team accountable to make improvements every day is a very big part of preparing the team to be successful come October and November.” Another ranked Penn State fall sports team is the field hockey team, which came in as No. 7 in the country in the preseason poll. The Nittany Lions are coming off a 16-6 season, but the 2015 version is full of young players. “We don’t have names written in different positions,” head coach Charlene Morette-Curtiss said. “I’m not going to call it a tryout, but we’re trying to find the best players to fill the positions and then seeing if they have the versatility between the players to see if they can play different positions. “So, we’re really looking to put together a cohesive group to start the game, understanding that we can easily turn to off the bench.” Also speaking at the event was men’s soccer head coach Bob Warming, whose team is coming off a 13-6 season. Penn State will return top scorer Connor Maloney and also will have the services of redshirt senior transfer Matt Bersano in goal. “I am really excited about the season,” Warming said. “Excited about the new players that we have. We could have five to seven new guys on the field to start the season this year. “It’s a whole new life that the team has. The previous teams that have come before them have done an amazing job setting a record in the Big Ten for number of weeks for being in first place; never out of first place from October 2012 to November 2014, not even one week out of first in the regular season. We lost that in the last few seconds at Northwestern in November and now it’s time to start a new run with this new team and I think they are up to the task.” Women’s golf coach Denise St. Pierre and cross-country coach John Gondak also spoke about their teams.

Basketball team will spend a lot of time on the road By BEN JONES StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Big Ten play is never easy, but Penn State basketball faces a particularly difficult conference schedule, based on the Big Ten slate that was recently announced. The Nittany Lions, who have started Big Ten play at home just twice since the 2006-07 season, will start off the conference campaign on the road against Maryland. Penn State will play seven of its first 10 games on the road, with one “home” game coming at Madison Square Garden against Michigan. The matchup with the Wolverines is part of a doubleheader with the Penn State and Michigan men’s hockey program, the first of four annual events at the arena. After facing Maryland, Penn State will head to Michigan Saturday, Jan. 2, before returning to University Park for the home opener against Minnesota Tuesday, Jan. 5, and a matchup with Michigan State Sunday, Jan. 10 — the only back-to-back home games until PSU’s final two contests of the season. The Nittany Lions take on five teams in home-andhome matchups — Iowa, Michigan (home game at MSG), Michigan State, Nebraska and Northwestern — while facing eight teams just once. Penn State hosts Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota and Wisconsin, while traveling to Maryland, Ohio State, Purdue and Rutgers. The conference season concludes on Sunday, March 6, and is followed by the Big Ten Men’s Basketball Tournament. It will be held at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis for the 10th time. All 14 teams advance to the tournament, with two first-round games slated for Wednesday, March 9. The No. 12 seed will face the No. 13 seed, while the No. 11 seed will take on the No. 14 seed. Franklin, from page 20 conversations during the recruiting process and when they get on campus. It’s all about their approach; if they approach being on the practice squad the right way it can be a great experience. Some guys can kind of anticipate it. Some guys don’t.” ■ Why this offseason has been so productive. “First of all, myself and my staff we know Penn State better. We understand our players better, we understand which end of the field is 9 feet higher than the other (Lasch Practice field is uneven). We have more depth — I don’t think there is any doubt we have more depth at every position. Last year we were in a position of being one-deep, now at some positions we’re three-deep.” Franklin would go on to explain how he showed the team a video about the first Dream Team practices and that he wants to build something similar to that, with 10 future Hall of Fame players battling it out in practice. ■ Finding a rival. “I get it. We talk about Rutgers wanting to be our rival. When I took the job Maryland was in conversations about starting a rivalry and had a trophy and everything all ready and I said I wasn’t really interested in it. I believe that rivalries are something that are organic. So, if we play these games for 75 years and something happens, we can talk about it 75 years from now.” ■ Temple travel versus Ireland travel.
PENN STATE men’s basketball head coach Patrick Chambers and his squad will have their hands full with the 2015-16 schedule.
TIM WEIGHT/Gazette file photo
The top four teams will receive first and second round byes and advance to the quarterfinals on Friday, March 11. Times and TV designations for all non-conference and conference games will be announced at a later date. Penn State is entering a new era under head coach Pat
Chambers following the graduation of longtime star D.J. Newbill. The Nittany Lions welcome three freshmen to the fold in 2015 and will look to the young Josh Reaves to join a returning cast of players and take the next step in the program’s progression.
“Much better. That Ireland trip, looking back at it now, I have very fond memories of it. I do not want to do it ever again. Since 9/11, travel is so much more difficult, so to try and get a 300-person party to travel is interesting. “I’m excited about it; in a lot of ways the Temple series makes a lot of sense. It’s a real easy trip, it gets people in their building and they’re a rising program and it keeps dollars in state. It’s going to be a good challenge.” ■ Recruiting younger and younger players. Franklin’s long answer ended with a interesting thought. “If they don’t get any better (than when they were young and you offered a scholarship), are you still happy with them?” ■ The offensive line getting better. “Everybody knows that’s one of our challenges. It’s not something that we’re going to be able to fix overnight. Typically, you really shouldn’t see the field until your redshirt sophomore year unless you’re really elite; the exception to the rule. Really, the farther away from the ball you are the earlier you can play. “I think Paris (Palmer) is really starting to come along
strong now. He’s legitimately 6-foot-8 and he’s 300 pounds, but he’s a guy that could probably carry 340 and still look good. What I love is that we have four other guys that have a bunch of game experience and now, instead of him thinking and being cautious, he can take the thinking out of it and work with the guys next to him.”

PSU football: Look of team more important than record By BEN JONES UNIVERSITY PARK — Let’s say for a second that Penn State starts out 6-0. That’s a world where Penn State has beaten six teams that have more questions than answers. Six teams that even Penn State’s still technically unproven offense should be able to navigate through. It’s four wins over lesser out-of-conference foes and two wins against Big Ten teams who are easily the lesser squads on paper. Only one win on the road, and that game is still so close the Nittany Lions will bus to it. To be sure, starting out 6-0 is itself a noteworthy task. For a program that has battled to stay over .500 through an era of sanctions, picking up wins in bulk isn’t anything to laugh at. If nothing else, winning is simply not a step backward. Even if the wins aren’t against the greatest teams in the nation, winning is always just avoiding the fallout of losing. Even in that light, though, the record will only tell half the story. If Penn State goes 6-0 (for the sixth time since 1990) the more important question will be how they looked in the process. Winning is great. Looking good doing it — or at least improving along the way — can be much more telling. Perhaps the biggest unanswered question of the year, if the Nittany Lions prove to be experienced enough to avoid
the losses and have graduated from “fortunate” into something more purposeful: Did they win because they were better, or did they win because they are good? The answer to that question is what really matters for James Franklin and Penn State football. Aside from the technically cosmic possibility that Penn State wins a national title or the conference, the 2015-16 season isn’t about anything more than moving forward another few steps. It’s all about getting the engine running at a higher and higher RPM. Penn State will play the games and the program will attack each week like there is something bigger and better down the road. But right now, all that matters is getting a full head of steam into the future. That’s not to discredit the potential a new season holds, but rather to put things into perspective. In all likelihood, Penn State will finish the year somewhere below the most optimistic (but not impossible) 10-2 forecasts. The Nittany Lions will be better, but they probably won’t be able to avoid a bump in the road. If nothing else, winning 10 games simply isn’t easy or even all that common. So, as you watch Penn State hit the field over the next few weeks, keep an eye on how the Nittany Lions look on the field more than how they look in the standings. If they look the part, then maybe you can start saving up for one of those nicer bowl trips. If they’re just getting by, there’s no shame in a lastminute booking.
Penn State to open 2019 season against Idaho

By BEN JONES StateCollege.com
UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State football has one more opponent on the calendar, as the program announced recently that Idaho will visit Beaver Stadium in August 2019. This will be the first meeting between the Nittany Lions and the Vandals. The Idaho game is the second nonconference game announcement for the 2019 season. Penn State will host Pittsburgh in September and has one more game to be scheduled. Penn State will meet Sun Belt foes in three consecutive years — Georgia State (2017), Appalachian State (2018) and Idaho (2019). The Nittany Lions will square off against Sun Belt opponents in the season opener in back-to-back years against the Mountaineers and the Vandals. Longtime rivals Penn State and Pitt will meet every season from 2016 through 2019. The Nittany Lions will play in Pittsburgh in 2016 and 2018 and the Panthers will play in State College in 2017 and 2019. In addition to the Pitt series, Penn State is scheduled to play Virginia Tech for the first time in 2020 and 2025 and renew its rivalry with West Virginia in 2023-24.

Medical Viewpoints Brain cancer treatments vary by patient HERSHEY — Only half of brain cancers actually start in the brain. The rest — as in the case of former President Jimmy Carter — are metastatic tumors from cancer that originated elsewhere in the body. Dr. Brad Zacharia, director of neuro-oncology and skull-base surgery at Penn State Hershey Medical Center, said between 15 and 30 percent of patients who have cancer will develop metastases to the brain at some point during the course of their disease. Lung cancer and breast cancer — two of the most common cancers — are most likely to metastasize to the brain. Once brain cancer is discovered, treatment varies based on a number of factors. Those include the location of tumors, the size and number of tumors and how the patient’s disease elsewhere in the body is being controlled. “There is a lot to consider,” Zacharia said. When the cancer appears as a single lesion causing symptoms such as weakness or language confusion — and it is located in a place considered safe or accessible for surgery — surgical removal is often the best course of action. Gamma knife radiosurgery is a noninvasive outpatient procedure that allows doctors to treat a number of lesions in a single day by targeting the tumors with high doses of radiation. Sometimes, surgery is used to remove larger lesions and followed up with gamma knife radio surgery. “This is really a revolution in the way these tumors are managed,” Zacharia said. “We can directly target a multitude of small and difficult to access lesions with incredible accuracy and efficacy in a noninvasive way. In select cases, it has been shown to be equally as effective as surgery.” A new therapy just starting at Penn State Hershey is laser ablation, a minimally invasive surgery in which doctors guide a small laser into the tumor and use heat from the laser to target it directly. Patients go home the following day. “It has been tolerated very well and can be used in difficult-to-access tumors or those that have undergone radiation and recurred,” Zacharia said. Patients who are very ill and cannot tolerate directed therapy — or who have many lesions in inaccessible locations — may benefit from general radiation to the brain. Because general radiation can produce cognitive side effects with time, Zacharia said doctors may try to avoid that course of treatment for younger patients: “The targeted therapies have gotten so good that we are getting away from using that.” Unlike other types of cancer, chemotherapy is not usually effective for brain tumors — especially metastatic ones — because of a blood barrier that protects the brain, Zacharia said. The two types of tumors that originate in the brain are gliomas, which are inside the brain and can range from benign to malignant, and meningiomas, which are benign and slow-growing tumors outside the actual brain substance.
Stockbyte
BRAIN CANCER rarely begins in the brain, according to medical experts. It usually begins elsewhere in the body and makes its way to the brain. Zacharia said a brain tumor is not always the death sentence many people think it is. “We have good techniques and it’s not as dire as people think,” he said. “From a neurosurgery standpoint, we have gotten pretty good at managing these patients with our arsenal of therapies and advances.”

Dance company to perform ‘Song of the Jasmine’ UNIVERSITY PARK — Ragamala Dance Company, celebrating 23 years of a contemporary approach to the classical Bharatanatyam dance method of southern India, will present “Song of the Jasmine” to an Eisenhower Auditorium audience at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 22. “Song of the Jasmine,” a “soulful, imaginative and rhythmically contagious collaboration,” according to a New York Times reviewer, features music by jazz composer and alto saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa. He and four other musicians on guitar, Indian lute, percussion and violin will perform the dance’s music on stage. Ranne Ramaswamy and her daughter, Aparna — co-artistic directors, choreographers and principal dancers — have spent more than two decades creating ways to combine the Indian ethos with the Western aesthetic. “Our aesthetic is to present the form of Bharatanatyam in its glory and complexity and without tampering with its technique, with its authenticity … but pushing the thematic boundaries,” said Aparna, who, along with her mother, was born in India and lives in Minneapolis. “We may look to ancient literary sources … but in a way that, thematically, comes together and resonates with us today as Indian-Americans, or with a general audience and in themes that everyone can connect to and understand.” Bharatanatyam — from the

ments such as facial expressions, hand gestures and deliberate movements in a performance-art language. Traditionally, it’s a solo dance, but the Ramaswamys’ choreography makes room for five dancers — including Ranee’s
other daughter, Ashwini (also Ragamala’s marketing director). “Song of the Jasmine” took inspiration from the writing of Tamil poet-saint Andal, known for her devotion to Lord Vishnu, widely regarded in Hindu culture
as the supreme being. Andal’s works depict dreams of intense longing to become the bride and servant of Vishnu. Previous Ragamala programs have featured blues music by Billie Holiday, operatic compositions and Japanese drums. With “Song of the Jasmine,” Ragamala enlisted the talents of Mahanthappa, known for his collaborations that fuse Western and Indian styles of music. His performance with the band Kinsman inspired the Ramaswamys to approach him about “Song of the Jasmine.” “When I heard the music, and heard the emotion and the complexity and the arrangements of the instruments and instrumentation, I was really moved to try to work together,” Aparna said. “It really spoke to my sense of being an Indian-American. … The balance was very fluid. It was smooth in some ways. … It had the spirituality, it had that deep emotion, it had the improvisation, it had the complexity, but it really brought these two cultures together in a very deep way.” Tickets are available online at www.cpa.psu.edu or by phone at (814) 863-0255 or (800) ARTSTIX. Tickets are also available at four State College locations: Eisenhower Auditorium (weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), Penn State Downtown Theatre Center (weekdays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.), HUB-Robeson Center Information Desk (weekdays, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.) and Bryce Jordan Center (weekdays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.).
Soul Rebels perform pop fare with New Orleans flare
UNIVERSITY PARK —The Soul Rebels will perform a free concert at 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 20, as part of the Penn State College of Arts and Architecture artsUP celebration. The eight-piece brass band from New Orleans pushes boundaries with high-energy concerts incorporating soul, jazz, jam, funk, hip-hop, rock and pop music framed within the contemporary sound of the Crescent City. Free tickets, available beginning Tuesday, Sept. 8, are required. Tickets may be obtained at the Arts Ticket Center locations in Eisenhower Auditorium (weekdays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.), HUB-Robeson Center (weekdays, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.) and Penn State Downtown Theatre Center (weekday,s 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.). The Soul Rebels founding members Derrick Moss (bass drum) and Lumar LeBlanc (snare drum) wanted to perform their favorite popular music in the style of the New Orleansstyle brass and marching bands with which they grew up. In 1991, the two started to recruit a group of likeminded musicians with the gusto to redefine popular music. Some of the artists given The Soul Rebels treatment include Eurythmics (“Sweet Dreams are Made of These”), Kanye West (“Touch the Sky”), Michael Jackson (“Rock with You”), Daft Punk (“Get Lucky”), Bruno Mars

THE SOUL REBELS will perform a free concert at Penn State on Sept. 20. (“Treasure”), Nicki Minaj (“Moment for Life”) and Drake (“Headlines”). The band has collaborated with a who’s who of pop, rock and hiphop musicians, including Metallica, Maceo Parker, Green Day, Suzanne Vega, Joey Bada$$ and Billy Martin (Medeski, Martin and Wood). The group has shared billing with Jack White, Dave Matthews, The Allman Brothers Band, Alabama Shakes, George Clinton, Arcade Fire and John Mayer. The Soul Rebels’ musicians have progressed from adding their sig-
nature sound to contemporary hits to writing and arranging their own brass-tinged compositions. This summer, the band performed at various jazz festivals throughout the world, including Jacksonville, Fla.; Washington, D.C.; Ottawa, Canada; Rochester, N.Y.; Istanbul, Turkey; Nice, France; and Telluride, Colo. The Soul Rebels also have performed at pop music festivals such as Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, Austin City Limits, British Summer Time and Roskilde.

Penn State unveils new EdTech Network
UNIVERSITY PARK — Higher education is undergoing a transformation thanks in large part to advances in technology. From the continuing growth in online degree programs, to incorporating mobile devices and multimedia into teaching environments, educational technology is being used to help improve student outcomes. To advance the educational technology sector in State College, attract entrepreneurs and develop relationships with companies by providing opportunities for collaboration with faculty, staff and students, Penn State has created the EdTech Network. Penn State’s EdTech Network is part of President Eric Barron’s $30 million Invent Penn State initiative. The goal of the initiative is to leverage the university’s size and broad research strengths to be a driver for job creation, economic development and student career success.
Educational technology will be one of several areas, including energy, food security, environmental protection, health care, manufacturing, medical devices and pharmaceuticals, where the goal is to accelerate the transfer of new ideas into useful products and processes. To further advance this goal, the EdTech Network will host a summit at the University Park campus Monday, Nov. 2, through Wednesday, Nov. 4. Companies, investors, alumni, entrepreneurial students and faculty who specialize in educational technology will be invited to attend. “We are pleased to announce the cre-
English hired as new executive director of APS BELLEFONTE — The American Philatelic Society has announced the hiring of Scott English as its new executive director. English has an extensive record of success leading large organizations with multiple constituencies, as well as working with volunteers and fundraising. As chief of staff to a former governor of South Carolina, he oversaw operations and policy for 15 cabinet-level agencies, more than 200 boards and commissions and the state’s executive office. As chief operating officer for South Carolina’s Department of Education, he oversaw the operation of a staff of more than 800, providing oversight for 82 school districts, 1,250 schools, 52,000 teachers and 720,000 students, while supervising the execution of a $4 billion annual budget. APS president Steve Reinhard said, “We are enormously pleased that a man of Scott’s experience and talent will be our new executive director. We expect he will make major contributions improving services to our 31,000 members, as well as outreach to other philatelic organizations, both in the United States and abroad.”
“It’s an honor to join the American Philatelic Society as executive director,” said English. “This organization has a rich tradition, with a dedicated staff and members who share a great passion for stamp collecting. My first priority is meetSCOTT ENGLISH ing as many members as possible in the coming months and learning how the APS can best serve them. I also want to learn how the APS can effectively partner with other organizations with similar interests. “My family and I are looking forward to moving to Centre County. It is clearly a wonderful place to live. My wife and I will also be closer to our childhood homes and parents.” Ken Martin, the organization’s previous executive director, has been offered the position of chief operating officer. In this capacity, the APS will continue to benefit from his experience in the APS and extensive knowledge of the hobby.
ation of the EdTech Network and host the inaugural summit at Penn State,” said Craig Weidemann, vice president for outreach and vice provost for online education. “The summit will provide an opportunity to discuss transformational ideas, products and services designed to advance teaching and learning. The long-term goal of the network is to grow the educational technology sector at Penn State, within Pennsylvania and beyond.” The growth has already begun with the expansion of a partnership between Penn State World Campus and InsideTrack, a leading student success organization that supports colleges and universities in im-
proving student enrollment, completion and career readiness. “The expanded partnership with InsideTrack is the first step toward creating a network of select companies with innovative technology solutions to work with us to develop environments that will help students succeed,” said Rose Piccioni, director for Penn State’s EdTech Network. As part of the four-year agreement, InsideTrack will co-locate six full-time employees and four student interns to an office on the University Park campus. “We’re proud to be an inaugural member of the Penn State EdTech Network and partnering with the university on innovative solutions to address the needs of today’s learners,” said InsideTrack CEO Pete Wheelan. “We’re always looking for ways to partner with forward-thinking organizations and push the boundaries on ways to make students more successful.” For more information, visit www. pennstateedtechnetwork.com.
