Start of school year ushers in new beginning By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Alex Lettieri and Mariah Chuprinski have a lot in common: Both girls are Penn State sophomores, and both moved into their rental house on East Beaver Avenue early to avoid the hectic movein weekend crowds on Aug. 23 and 24. Despite this, they also have many differences — especially in how they’ve approached living out of the dorms for the first time. Lettieri is bristling with excitement and started packing a week in advance; Chuprinski is extremely nervous and did most of her packing in a mad two-day rush. While moving in on Aug. 21, the final day before student move-in weekend began, Letteri said she was most excited for a new level of freedom that comes with moving out of her previous

home in East Halls. “It was so cramped in the dorms, and you always had an RA watching over you,” she said. “It’s not that you had zero freedom, but there always wasn’t enough privacy. I’m looking forward to not sharing a communal bathroom.” Chuprinski is excited for newfound freedoms as well, but is anxious about the new level of responsibility these freedoms bring. She said she views this as a learning experience, one that can help her continue to grow into adulthood. “I guess I’m worried about doing the right thing,” she said. “I hope to grow into someone who respects myself and my loved ones.” On Penn State’s campus during move-in weekend, which saw thousands of students moving out of their parents’ homes for the first time, a similar mix of excitement and anxiousness was in place.

Connor O’Hanlon, a freshman from Doylestown, said it was “a little nerve wracking” to be out on his own for the first time. He said he would miss his parents, and expressed concerns about doing his laundry. But these fears couldn’t overshadow his excitement. O’Hanlon was so ready to set out for college that he “just couldn’t sleep” the night before. “I’m really looking forward to my classes and football games and all that stuff,” O’Hanlon said. His parents, Lorma and Tom O’Hanlon, said that watching their son unpack his boxes in his new room in Curtin Hall brought a mix of conflicting emotions: pride, sadness, nervousness and joy. “It will be a challenge not having Connor at home,” Tom O’Hanlon said. “But we know he’ll be just fine up here.” School, Page 6

Bundy prepares for last season leading Blue Band By JOHN PATISHNOCK correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Dr. Richard Bundy, the longtime director of the Penn State Marching Blue Band who joined the Penn State faculty in 1983, recently announced that he’ll retire at the end of this academic year. A two-time graduate of Penn State, Bundy recently talked about the growth of the Blue Band, the excitement of game days at Beaver Stadium and how the band has adapted to technological changes over the years.

CENTRE COUNTY GAZETTE: When you’re on the field with the band, how often do you think about your days as a student? RICHARD BUNDY: That pops up in my mind periodically. Certainly, it’s popped up a little more recently because I’m closing in on the end of things, so you start to think a little more about that stuff. I don’t think about it a whole lot; I think the biggest thing is not so much thinking about it personally from my standpoint, but it is helpful to Bundy, Page 6

TREADING WATER: The Kepler Pool at Governor’s Park in Bellefonte may be closing for good if money is not raised for renovations.

Kepler Pool in need of community support, money to stave off closure By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — Kepler Pool, a summertime staple located in Governor’s Park, has officially ended its 2014 season. And the pool is in serious jeopardy of closing for good due to an aged infrastructure and lack of funds for upgrades. The pool closed out the summer season on Aug. 24 after mechanical failure of the main filtration motor occurred, according to Howard Long, YMCA of Centre County’s president and CEO. Opinion ............................. 7 Health & Wellness .......... 8, 9

“And as of now, the pool will be closing next weekend for good,” Long said. The pool was taken over by the recently established Nittany Valley Joint Recreation Authority. It is composed of two members each from Bellefonte Borough, Benner Township, Spring Township and Walker Township, which creates equal ownership of the pool. Long serves on the authority for Walker Township. Kepler, Page 5

STATE COLLEGE — The State College Police Department saw a spike in incidents with the return of Penn State students for the fall semester. Incidents included many alcohol-related crimes and emergencies as well as more serious crimes, including a report of a sexual assault and a strong arm robbery. The university’s health services department reported a sexual assault to police on Aug. 23. However, police say the victim only sought health services and did not want authorities to investigate. Police are also investigating a strong arm robbery that occurred about 2:45 a.m. on Aug. 25 in the rear of The Legacy apartments at Hetzel Street and East Calder Way. Police say an unknown man hit a male victim in the face after an argument and stole the victim’s keys and wallet. Police described the suspect as a college-aged white male, who is roughly 6-feet tall, and was wearing a light blue tank top and khaki pants.

Police are asking for the public’s help to identify the suspect. Police are also searching for any witnesses to the assault. Anyone with information regarding the incident can contact the State College Police Department at (814) 234-7150. Police are investigating another assault that occurred about 12:45 a.m. on Aug. 24 at a CATA bus stop in the 100 block of East Beaver Avenue, where an unknown man hit a male victim. State College police Lt. Chris Fishel says the department saw a significant increase in incidents last weekend, which he says is expected given the population increased by the thousands with the return of students. The increase included a significant number of alcohol-related incidents, such as public intoxication, public urination and fake identification. The department also encountered an unusual incident where a 27-year-old man was found sleeping in the middle of the roadway with his bicycle. A passerby discovered the man about 1:07 a.m. on Aug. 25 in the 800 block of Brush Valley Road. Police cited the man for public drunkenness and obstructing roadways.

Borough officials review home rentals By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — It’s no secret that Penn State football games draw quite a crowd and visitors are often in need of lodging. Frequently, State College residents will rent out their homes for the weekend to help meet the demand and make a little cash in the process. But what are the rules when it comes to short-term leases? With a high-profile debate under way regarding two homes a local couple rents out to temporary guests, StateCollege.com asked State College Borough’s planning and community development director Ed LeClear and zoning officer John Wilson to outline the rules when it comes to renting out homes during home football games and other event weekends. If residents live in a home they own and want to rent it out for an event weekend, LeClear and Wilson said the borough does not currently have any rules or restrictions in place. As long as the owner of the home resides in the home, the owner can rent the space for short-term guests. However, it’s possible that could change in the future. The planning department is in the process of evaluating such rental situations to determine if they contribute to nuisance in the borough, and if so, what, if any, measures should be put in place at the borough level. Borough staff began a review of “football rentals” last fall and will continue the research this football season, said LeClear. “We’re trying to get a handle on the enforcement issues related to them, and until we have a better understanding of the issues related to football weekends, we are not taking enforcement action,” said LeClear. The research includes borough staff patrolling neighborhoods, monitoring properties, reviewing complaints from

residents, reviewing police statistics and monitoring rental advertisements. They’re monitoring quality of life issues, such as noise, parking, congestion and litter. While officials do not know exactly how many homeowners rent out their spaces for football weekends, Wilson said it’s “substantial.” Just how common it is depends on how well the team is performing in a particular season, as well as other factors such as the weather. LeClear said he and his staff want to be careful with their evaluation and not assume the football rentals are the core cause of disturbances in neighborhoods. “We want to know how many are related to football rental use as opposed to other activities occurring on weekends that may be related to student homes or local residents. It’s important to really determine if the nuisance and neighborhood issues are stemming from football rentals or are they stemming from other uses in the neighborhoods and maybe they’re being attributed to football rentals. So, we’re doing our due diligence. We, as a staff, really want to make sure we have a good idea of what’s going on before talking with council about it,” said LeClear. The borough does have rules and regulations in place for “tourist rentals,” the type of rental where the owner does not live in the home and instead allows shortterm guests to rent the property. Not just any property owner can operate a “tourist rental” in State College. If someone owns a home in the borough, doesn’t reside in that property, and wants to rent it to short-term guests as the primary use, the home must be located in a particular zoning district. In State College, that only applies to homes in R-4, commercial and Urban Village districts. “The difference between standard football weekend rentals and tourist homes is whether or not the property owner resides there,” said Wilson. “When a property is

not owner-occupied and it’s rented with an emphasis on short-term stays and special event weekends, it would be considered a tourist home and is not permitted in most of the residential zoning districts in State College.” To determine which zone a property is located in, residents can call the planning department at (814) 234-7109. If the property is located in a district that allows tourist homes, the owner would be required to obtain a zoning permit from the borough. If guests are staying for longer than seven days at a time, the owner would also need a rental permit under the property maintenance ordinance and a condition of that permit is a property inspection by the Centre Region Code Agency. Ultimately, violators can face fines up to $500 per day for illegal property use. “We work very hard to resolve the issue before it would ever get to a court,” LeClear said. “We’re trying to be fair to property owners and also be fair to the neighborhoods as far as if there are nuisance issues related to tourist properties and short-term rentals. We want to find a way to address them.” Tourist homes are rare in State College. Officials say they are only aware of three tourist homes. Officials say Craig and Susan Stout own two of those properties. However, the Stouts have challenged the label of “tourist homes.” According to a July 22 written decision by the State College Borough Zoning Hearing Board last fall, the borough received complaints from a resident who claimed the Stouts’ properties were not in compliance with permitted uses for the R-2 zoning district. Officials determined the properties were being used as “tourist homes.” The borough then issued a letter to the Stouts saying the use violated the zoning ordinance. The Stouts appealed the borough’s con-

clusion and went before the zoning hearing board July 8. During the hearing, the couple argued the borough’s definition of a “tourist home” was vague. The borough argued that because the owners do not reside in the home and market the properties for short-term stays over event weekends, the property is a “tourist home.” The zoning hearing board sided with the borough, saying in its decision, “Applicants originally purchased the ... property with the intent to ‘flip’ it. They wanted to renovate a property that was in need of repair and then resell it for a profit. They were prevented from doing so by the downturn of the economy. At that time, they began looking for other ways to cover their investment. They decided that shortterm leasing had a market.” The board concluded the owners offered the properties for short-term stays on a continuous basis, with only intermittent stays for longer periods — the longest being three months — and that the borough’s language for a “tourist home” is not vague. “The board is sympathetic to the fact the applicants encountered a bad economy and had to ‘make due.’ However, what they are now attempting to do with the properties is not permitted in the R-2 district,” the board said in its July 22 decision. The Stouts can appeal the board’s decision through Centre County Common Pleas Court.

COLLEGE TOWNSHIP

In College Township, if you want to rent out your home for even one night you must apply for a temporary rental permit, according to Mike Heath, the zoning officer. Residents can only rent out their homes for events, such as football games or the Arts Fest, for a total of 30 days in a year. The zoning permit fee is $25. Rentals, Page 5

Suicide Awareness and Prevention Day established By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — The Centre County Board of Commissioners designated Wednesday, Sept. 10, as Centre County Suicide Awareness and Prevention Day at its meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 26. They also declared the week surrounding it from Monday, Sept. 8, to Monday, Sept. 15, as Centre County Suicide Prevention Week. “It’s a very important issue,” Commissioner Steve Dershem said. “It can be a very painful journey to educate folks, but I think it’s very important and critical that folks not only know what resources are available, but maybe share experiences and prevent some tragedies in the future.” Attending the meeting to discuss the importance of suicide awareness and prevention were Marisa Vicere Brown and Al Vicere of the Jana Marie Foundation.

On Awareness and Prevention Day, the Jana Marie Foundation, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention Central Pennsylvania Chapter and Active Minds at Penn State will sponsor a commemoration from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Millbrook Marsh Nature Center in State College. “Last year’s Suicide Prevention and Awareness Day was a moving and powerful evening,” Brown said. “The community came together, learned ways to heal through art, music and dramatic readings, and took time to remember those who have left us too soon and those who are currently struggling.” Several artists, musicians and specialists will be on hand at the event to share messages of hope and remembrance, and provide healing support. They include musician Zach Maser, artist Mel Forkner-Lescher, playwright Pam Monk, grief therapist Evelyn Walk and crisis intervention specialist Shanon Quick. Skills of Central Pennsylvania will also organize an art exhibit.

County looking to acquire land By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — The Centre County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution of condemnation at its meeting on Tuesday in regard to contract negotiations with a landowner at the site of one of the county’s communication towers. The tower, which is owned by the county and located in Boggs Township, is on land owned by Snow Shoe Summit Lodge Corp. The commissioners say that the company has been unreasonable in several aspects and that the resolution comes as a last resort. After unsuccessful negotiations, the county is now looking to acquire the tower, including the 2 acres surrounding it. “We’re unable to reach any compromise,” said commissioner Chris Exarchos. “I think the demands of the landowner have become very unreasonable. Part of the demands include their ability to use our tower as they see fit and rent it to others, which we obviously cannot agree to.” “There are no other commercial entities on that tower,” said commissioner Steve Dershem. “It solely functions as a 911 tower.” Exarchos also said that what the company is demanding the county pay for rent “is way above excess” of what it pays other landowners throughout the county. When the county transitioned to its new 911 emergency system earlier this year, said Commissioner Michael Pipe, renegotiations of contracts with other landowners of where the cell towers sit were all reasonable. What the

property owners were asking for, however, was not, he said. Moving the tower, however, is not an option. “It would be cost-prohibitive to move a whole tower to a new location and shut down the system,” Pipe said. “We need to have the tower there,” Exarchos said. “The safety of the residents of that whole region depends on this tower being located there, being active and in use.” Dershem added that the tower provides assistance for not only residents of the Snow Shoe region, but also those traveling on Interstate 80 in that area. “This is a vital link for them as well,” he said. “We really do not have the option for disengaging this tower for any reason.” County Solicitor Louis Glantz clarified that this is a notice of the intent to take. A survey and evaluation of the property will soon come, and be followed by an ordinance to actually take the property. A surveyor should be out at the site soon after the landowner is notified, Glantz said, with an ordinance before the board in about one month. For the past 20 years, Exarchos said the relationships with the landowner had been “amicable and reasonable.” The county, Glantz said, was presented with a notice for intent to evict last week. As soon as the county passes and files a resolution of condemnation with a cash offer to Snow Shoe Summit Lodge Corp., the county becomes the owner of that property, he said. This can happen as quickly as 30 days. The commissioners also said that no decision is final until the ordinance is passed and that they are open to dialogue with the property owners.

STATE COLLEGE — The State College Area School Board agreed at its recent meeting to move forward with a feasibility study that could enable the district to receive reimbursement for some of the costs incurred for the high school construction project. The board authorized Crabtree Rorhbaugh and Associates to complete the District Wide Feasibility Study to meet the state’s requirements for reimbursement of construction projects known as PlanCon A. Early calculations indicate the district could be reimbursed for between $5 million and $6 million of the $115 million project, according to district officials. The board is expected to take another look at the feasibility study on Monday, Nov. 3. Final consideration of PlanCon A is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 10. The board also approved the employment agreement for Linda Pierce, who will serve as the district’s human resources director at an annual starting salary of $115,000. Her start date is Tuesday, Sept. 2. “We’re looking forward to having Linda become a part of the district,” said superintendent Bob O’Donnell. Pierce served in multiple roles at Penn State over the course of 31 years. Most recently, she has served as director of human resources for Georgian Court University in Lakewood, N.J.

“This proclamation would really help us, I think, to position it firmly as a regular event,” Vicere said. The Jana Marie Foundation was established by Brown after her sister, Jana Marie Vicere, committed suicide in 2011. In Centre County, there are approximately 15 suicides annually, Brown said. “We are so grateful that the Centre County Board of Commissioners continue to recognize the need for Centre County Suicide Prevention and Awareness Day,” Brown said. “Any sudden death is difficult and leaves you with hundreds of ‘what if’ questions.” Brown also noted that it is important to remember that suicide is not the cause of someone’s death, but the means by which a person passed. “(This is why) it is important to educate, bring awareness, and to stomp out the stigma, so those in need feel comfortable reaching out and getting help,” Brown said.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State officials have confirmed that the body of Jack Crean, a freshman student from Boalsburg, was found at the HUB construction site on Aug. 24. University spokesperson Lisa Powers said in an email that university police discovered Crean’s body inside the closed area sometime between 10:36 a.m. and 11 a.m. The circumstances surrounding his death are unclear. Powers said that student affairs staff have notified Crean’s family and roommate, and that counseling is available to anyone impacted by his death. “It’s a sorrowful start to the academic year and our hearts go out to Jack’s family and friends,” Powers said. “The death of any student is painful and tragic, and we are deeply impacted by this loss.”

August 28-September 3, 2014 Kepler, from page 1 “There was a little bit of talk the past couple of years about creating an authority … to come up with a clear and concise direction for the pool,” Long said. For the past nine months, the authority has been working on recommendations and a plan for the pool. The 2009 Aquatic Facility Design study findings were consulted, he said. “It told us in that study that even though the pool is 43 years old, that the shell of the pool is still in good shape,” Long said. “They did core samples and had determined that you could do something with it.” The AFD determined that, in 2009, it would cost about $1.7 million to do necessary renovations and updates. The study, he said, also determined that a 5 to 10 percent annual interest increase should be added. In 2015, the project cost would be about $2.4 million, with a 5 percent increase. “Our challenge then was,” Long said, “how would we come up with $2.4 million?” After much research, securing a grant proved to be impossible, Long said, due to the age of the pool. “And the kind of grant money we were looking for was never going to be enough to completely fund the project,” he said. In 2006, Long said, the borough and townships agreed to levy a $1 tax per resident to cover the shortfalls of Kepler Pool. Those funds went toward purchasing chemicals, paying for electricity, repairs and annual shortfalls, he said. That agreement’s contract runs through the end of this year. The authority, Long said, has proposed that the borough and townships raise the tax to $10 annually per resident, which would bring in $212,780 a year for Kepler Pool renovations. This would raise the $2.4 million needed to renovate Kepler Pool over a 12-year period. These findings and recommendations were presented in June to the borough and townships, Long said. While the Bellefonte borough members unanimously approved the tax, the townships have not yet made decisions. After each of the meetings, however, Long said he felt “very positive” and was incredibly encouraged by the borough’s decision to vote on the tax that night. The major things that need to be addressed, according to the authority’s report, are to make the area sustainable so it doesn’t need repairs every year, make facilities handicap accessible and reinstate the children’s wading pool, which has been closed since 2009. The goal, Long said, is for the borough and townships to include the $10 resident tax into their 2015 budgets. This means they would all have to decide to approve the tax within the next month or two so a loan can be secured and construction companies can submit bids, he said. “If any one of the remaining three say no, then it’s done. Kepler Pool is closed,” Long said. If it comes to that point, the pool would revert back to ownership of the borough, according to the authority’s bylaws, he said. It would then be their decision of what to do with the property and its objects. When presenting the findings and recommendations about Kepler Pool to the borough and townships, Long said that three things were asked of the authority to

The Centre County Gazette further investigate. Officials were curious, he said, about the cost to install a brand new swimming pool. That price tag would be $4.2 million. They also asked about available grants if the project was entirely new construction. After meeting with the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources earlier this month, the authority found out that they would be eligible to apply for a grant of up to $400,000, Long said. The grant would have to be matched, he said, which could be done through the head tax. Officials were also interested in securing a loan and its terms, Long said. They asked, “Could any of that money be used toward other projects immediately?” The answer, he said, is yes, if the loan was repaid over 15 or 20 years instead of 12. “(Then) there would be additional funds to go toward other projects that would be identified by the townships and supervisors,” he said. “We have found that there was some interest in that.” An event that dramatically affected Kepler Pool attendance in 2009, Long said, was the passing of the Virginia Graham Baker Pool and Spa Act. This required that all public swimming pools in the country had to update their drainage systems. As a result of this, the children’s wading pool closed indefinitely. With that, Long said, the entire preschool demographic was lost. And this summer, he said, has not proven to be the best for outdoor swimming. “Attendance goes up and down based on weather,” Long said. “Numbers are down. It hasn’t been a great summer for outdoor swimming pools.” According to assistant borough manager Don Holderman, if Kepler Pool were to close, “it would be a huge loss.” “It’s part of the fabric of the Bellefonte borough,” he said. “It’s important for the borough and (surrounding) townships to have a community swimming pool.” While Holderman said he can’t speak for the townships, he thinks they aren’t necessarily “hesitant” to pass the head tax, but just haven’t really discussed it yet since 2015 budgets aren’t decided on until fall. “(The borough) is getting a fair amount of letters and phone calls from residents,” he said. “Everything has been supportive.” Since Kepler Pool is the only community pool in the area, it is highly utilized by daycares and summer camps, Holderman said. If it were to close, the next closest pool would be Welch or Park Forest pools in State College. “It’s a safe place to swim,” Long said. “Where will kids go (if it closes down)? What will summer camps do? It will be a loss to the community.” Long said he hopes that community members will continue to contact their respective townships or the borough to express their support for the pool and the project. The Nittany Valley Joint Recreation Authority is comprised of Michael Bonchack (Spring Township), Joseph Conklin (Spring Township), Debra Hoy (Walker Township), Buddy Johnson (Bellefonte Borough), Howard Long (Walker Township), Nicole Mendinski (Benner Township), Sudan Rockey (Benner Township) and John Tooker (Bellefonte Borough). The authority meets every second Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. in the conference room at the Bellefonte YMCA of Centre County. All meetings are open to the public.

IN THIS July 12, 2012, file photo, former FBI director Louis Freeh speaks during a news conference in Philadelphia. Freeh has been hospitalized following a single-car crash in Vermont. State police say Freeh was airlifted to a New Hampshire hospital with serious injuries following the crash on Aug. 25 in Barnard, Vt.

Freeh seriously injured in Vt. vehicle accident By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

Louis Freeh, former FBI director and independent investigator who played a large role the Penn State-Jerry Sandusky scandal, was seriously hurt in a one-vehicle crash according to Vermont State Police. The crash happened about 12:15 p.m. on Aug. 25 in Barnard, Vt. Freeh, 64, of Wilmington, Del., was transported by helicopter to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H. Authorities say Freeh was traveling south on Vermont Route 12 in his SUV when he went off the roadway and hit a mail box and a row of shrubs before coming to rest at the side of a tree. Police say Freeh was wearing his seat belt. Rentals, from page 3 In the application, a resident must provide insurance information, home location, details about what portion of the home will be rented and the dates the owner intends to rent the home. The dates can be modified if the owner does not rent the home on a date initially listed in the application, Heath said. Once the township issues the permit, the packet goes to a Centre Region codes officer so officials can perform health and safety site inspections.

FERGUSON TOWNSHIP

In Ferguson Township, officials do not regulate weekend rentals, according to Jeff Ressler, zoning administrator. However, if residents rent out a property for more than seven consecutive days, they are required to go through the rental permitting process.

The cause of the crash is pending further investigation. Penn State hired Freeh to investigate the handling of the Sandusky scandal. In his report, Freeh said former Penn State President Graham Spanier and others, “repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky’s child sexual abuse from the authorities, (PSU’s) Board of Trustees, the Penn State community and the public at large.” Spanier is suing Freeh for defamation. Spanier, along with former Penn State administrators Tim Curley and Gary Schultz, are currently awaiting trial for criminal allegations related to an alleged cover up of the Sandusky scandal. In 2012, a jury found Sandusky guilty of 45 counts of child sexual abuse and a judge sentenced him to 30 to 60 years in state prison.

HARRIS TOWNSHIP

In Harris Township, officials also do not regulate weekend rentals, according to township manager Amy Farkas. But, once again, if residents rent out a property for more than seven consecutive days, they must go through the rental permitting process.

PATTON TOWNSHIP

In Patton Township, officials also do not regulate weekend rentals, said township manager Doug Erickson. But if a home is rented out for more than seven consecutive days, the rental permitting process comes into play. Erickson also noted that state law requires residents who rent out their homes for short-term stays to pay a hotel tax to Centre County.

Bundy, from page 1 have a perspective over the years of where the band has been, what the band has been and how it was organized, how the growth has occurred and to have been a part of that. When I was a student, the band was 120 people and all male at that point. And to be at the point now toward the end of my career where we field a band of 310 and still maintain an even higher quality level then when I was in the band — and I say that will all due respect to the folks who were running the program at the time because they were inspirations to me and choosing my career — but you can look and see the difference between the band now and then and it has progressed. I think the same way of looking at the Penn State football team of 2014 and comparing them to one of the great teams of the past — they’re still going to look like things have progressed. CCG: What is the game day experience like for you and the Blue Band, and how special are the moments when the band comes onto the field before the game? RB: The great impetus of that is the crowd reaction, particularly for the band at pregame when the band comes out of the tunnel. That surge of energy from the crowd invigorates the students and the staff and everybody, and carries them a long way for the rest of the game. I think as we talk to the students during the course of the season, one of the things we try to impress upon them is that there are six or seven games, but they’re going to go by very quickly. Before you know it, you will have done four seasons and you’ll graduate and you won’t have this experience again. So we do try to help them remember to enjoy and seize the moment, that they’re passing through the program and be part of the program, so hopefully they take the time to enjoy the experience that they’re having because a season goes by pretty quickly — in my case, 35 seasons have gone by and I’m looking at the last one. I think the crowd and the reaction of people to the students is extremely gratifying and extremely energizing to the kids. CCG: The Blue Band obviously resonates with many Penn Staters. Do you talk about this with the students and how they’re more than just band members when they’re in the Blue Band? RB: One of the things that’s important in the way we work with the students is to help them understand that they are representing Penn State at all times. If you ask most Penn Staters to list 10 things that remind them of Penn State, I suspect that Blue Band might make the list in most instances. It’s one of those things that’s an oral and visible symbol of the university, and it goes along with the Nittany Lion and the Old Main Bell Tower, a football player in uniform, those sorts of things are some-

what iconic for the university. So, students at this point embrace that opportunity to be representatives of the university. CCG: In the summer months, how do you prepare for the upcoming season and everything that it entails? RB: This time of year, what we do is have meetings to discuss and brainstorm possible show ideas for fall, try to select music and themes that might work, a way to tie the music together, to tie into special events, those kinds of things. Then there’s a lot of digging around that needs to be done to make sure we have the permission to use the music, and the various musical arrangers we use need to be contacted and assigned tunes that they’re going to do. We’ll spend the middle part of the summer doing some of the drill writing that’s necessary for the movements on the field, and then in the middle of August when the students start coming back, we start working with them and getting things ready for the fall. CCG: Considering that the Blue Band has been around for so long, how do you find a balance between doing what you know works really well and trying new things? RB: That is a challenge, and we find that there’s a certain format to the shows that works well for us over the years. But with integrating new ideas, what we try to do every year is to think of ways that we can do something new and can do something different. We’re hoping to do some things this year that we haven’t been able to do before and hopefully incorporate this new hi-definition scoreboard in what we’re doing with the band. There’s a balance there to be made because we need to try to balance having people’s attention on the scoreboard versus people’s attention on our students who are performing. CCG: How much planning goes into each show, and what can impact the preparation during the week? RB: We have to take into account a lot of things. One of the factors is how much time do we have to prepare the show, because a halftime show for a home game, there are times when we have only a week to prepare the show and there are times when we have two weeks to prepare the show. You never know how the weather is going to effect things. The worst thing for us is to have bad weather during the week and great weather on game day, because bad weather during the week impacts our preparations and then on game day, people wonder why the band doesn’t sound or look as good. CCG: How much of a role does musical education play with students in the Blue Band? RB: One of our challenges is trying to balance the educational experience for students who are in the band. While a lot of times from the audience’s standpoint,

O. RICHARD BUNDY, director of the Penn State Blue Band, will retire in 2015. He’s been a part of the Blue Band since his days as a student at Penn State. their perception is that the students are just there to entertain, but they’re also taking Blue Band as a class. There’s a certain amount of educational value we’re trying to have in the experiences and trying to expose the students to different music and music that we hope that they will enjoy playing and they’ll find challenging to play, and yet balancing it with trying to make sure we’re as entertaining as possible when we get our halftime shows. CCG: Outside of the musical education aspect, what do you hope students in the Blue Band gain from their experience? RB: I hope that they’ve learned a number of things. I hope that they’ve been exposed to some music that they may not have played or listened to or heard before. I hope that they have grown as an individual musician, in terms of their performing ability and their acceptance and reaction to a wider range of music. I think that along with that, we’re hoping to make them more aware of a variety of musical artists and styles and genres. Beyond that, there are also the opportunities of leadership possibilities. It’s particularly challenging to be a leader in a peer organization, but the opportunity to develop some of those leadership skills, I think, is another thing that we hope many students will get. We hope that they are also learning all the good things that make for success: responsibility and being able to be counted on, and being able to complete a job or an assignment in a timely fashion and all those kinds of non-musical things are important life lessons for the students to learn. CCG: How has technology impacted the Blue Band’s preparation and performance over the years? RB: The technology has been challenging for all bands, everywhere. A band in a college football arena, I don’t care if it’s as big as Penn State or a small school someplace else, the band cannot compete

acoustically with the huge scoreboards and the huge speakers and sound systems. There, it just takes one person hitting a notch or a dial — and boom! — you get a bigger sound. There’s only so loud a group of students as big as our band can get. With our size, we cannot compete at the same level, so there’s a visceral reaction to an audience there, between the impact of the big speakers and what we’re trying to do. Over the years, there’s been more and more media and popular music and everything that’s pumped into the game, through sponsorships and advertisements and announcements and popular songs. All these things have created challenges for us, in terms of how often we get to perform. One of the things that most people don’t think about a lot of times, but I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about this: Our society nowadays is so oriented to seeing the screen, whether it be the screen on your personal device or your computer or at the stadium, that’s what they want to see. There are so many things that can be so grand in terms of how those media can produce entertainment, in terms of the excitement that they can generate and be visual, that it’s very difficult anymore to create that same kind of level of excitement with a live performance of a marching band, as good as we might be. I think everybody is trying to find, from a marching band standpoint, to find ways to entertain audiences in a day and age when over-the-top-entertainment is the norm; it’s very difficult for marching bands to go over the top, from the impact standpoint and the expense standpoint. It’s a challenge to provide the right type of experience for the students that is something that they are gaining from the experience and that they feel it’s valuable, while providing that entertainment for an audience in a specific functional setting in a football game or any sporting event.

School, from page 1 For many students, like new freshman John Fitzmaurice, finally moving into a dorm at Penn State was the realization of lifelong dream. Fitzmaurice said he’s dreamt of coming to Penn State since middle school, when he would come up to visit his brother for home football games. Enamored with the campus and Penn State spirit, he said he couldn’t dream of having gone anywhere else. “I’ve always wanted to come here,” Fitzmaurice said. “I’m so excited for this entire experience.”

Don’t blame Burger King

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Americans have been transfixed for more than a week now by the protests in Ferguson, Mo., sparked when an unarmed black man, Michael Brown, was shot and killed by a police officer. Police, outfitted with camouflage, tear gas, crowd-dispersing noisemakers, and armored vehicles, have cracked down on rioters and looters, but also on journalists and crowds of apparently peaceful protesters, angering observers around the world. Have America’s police forces become over-militarized? How can justice be achieved in Ferguson? Columnists Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk debate the issue. For all our national polarization, here is one good thing to come out of the events in Ferguson: Liberals and the libertarian right can use this moment to make common cause against the excesses of policing in our country. Conservatives have spent the past half-century automatically siding with police — sensing, correctly, that most Americans were more concerned with cracking down on crime than in nuances of civil liberties. But those days have receded, thanks both to a declining crime rate — probably demographically driven — and the decision by Clinton-era Democrats never to be out-toughed on crime issues. These days, conservatives are

Burger King, corporate deserter? That’s what President Barack Obama would call the fast-food giant now that it’s buying Tim Hortons Inc., the Canadian coffee and doughnut chain. But the epithet is hard to swallow. The $11.4 billion deal announced Tuesday will allow the Miami-based Burger King Worldwide Inc. to slash its United States tax bill by moving its corporate home to a foreign country, a strategy known as inversion. At least 21 companies have announced or completed such deals since the beginning of 2012, according to Bloomberg News. Obama castigated them last month for doing business as usual in the United States while renouncing their citizenship to avoid taxes. He’s wrong to vilify corporations for legally reducing their tax bills. Corporations exist to make money. Their executives have a fiduciary duty to shareholders to maximize profits. Rather than trying to shame them, the United States can slow inversions by reforming the U.S. tax code to make the strategy less appealing. The top federal corporate tax rate in the United States is 35 percent. That’s among the highest in the world, although many corporations actually pay much less and those most successful at exploiting loopholes pay zero. In Canada the top federal tax rate is 15 percent. Congress should tilt the playing field in our favor. Eliminating the corporate tax would be the best approach, as long as reformers also scrap the lower rate for capital gains and dividends, and tax that income the same as income from work. Cutting the corporate tax rate while closing loopholes would work, too, or enacting a territorial system in which only profits earned in the United States would be taxed by the United States. Of course, any of that would require Congress to take on contentious tax reform, something it hasn’t had the courage to tackle. Until it does, the message to corporations like Burger King is, have it your way.

often likely to see cops as just another set of tyranny-minded big-government bureaucrats. Liberals aren’t driven by big-government concerns, but that doesn’t actually matter. If liberals and likeminded conservatives come to their conclusions differently, we can still agree on a few things: Small-town police departments don’t have much need for paramilitary SWAT teams. They have even less need for mine-resistant vehicles of the style that were used to patrol the streets of Baghdad. And maybe, since the use of tear gas is actually a war crime when used by one army against another, police shouldn’t so easily use such chemical weapons against civilian populations. So let’s use this moment to pull back: To stop outfitting American police forces with military gear, to rein in law enforcement with a new respect for the rights of individuals, and to ensure that citizens of Ferguson — and all Americans — can walk the streets safe in the knowledge that police really are there to serve and protect all of us.

BEN BOYCHUK

Yes, far too many police departments have gone overboard with the military equipment. On that point, liberals and conservatives should be in broad agreement. The Ferguson police have looked like soldiers not cops — occupiers, not protectors. Using armored vehicles for crowd control, as the police did in Ferguson before the Highway

Being a war correspondent is glamorous and exciting, high up on the list of any aspiring young journalist. But it is also extremely dangerous under any circumstance but especially when those practicing it are pretty much on their own without the proper support or guidance. Photojournalist James Foley fit into that category and tragically paid the highest of prices, leaving us all worse off because of it. There is little heroism in that, just sadness and outrage at the forces of evil who took his young life. One can only hope his death might serve as a caution to those who would rush off in the future with reckless abandon and a misguided notion that Valhalla awaits if it goes wrong. Over the years that I sent a number of young men and women into war zones, I did so with this admonition: “Keep your head down and your powder dry. We consider what you are doing to advance the knowledge of our readers important, but not enough to end your life in the process. Don’t take foolish chances.” Fortunately, my charges survived the experience and the dread I felt went away with their safe return. I would like to think my advice was the reason but that would be presumptuous. I just got lucky. Earl Richert, my predecessor and mentor at Scripps Howard, told me the most difficult job he ever faced

was telling the family, friends and loved ones of the death of young Henry Taylor, the son of Ambassador Henry Taylor, while covering the uprisings in the Congo. The presidential plane, the Columbine, was sent to retrieve the body. As a direct result of that, a few years later a story by cartoonist Gene Basset about being ambushed with a patrol in Vietnam brought an instant order from Earl for his return to the home office. It was one thing for the much honored, longtime war correspondent Jim Lucas to travel regularly with U.S. troops in action in ‘Nam, but quite another for an untrained Washington-based political cartoonist with a family to take that risk. Who can argue with that? Earl’s, and before him, Walker Stone’s sensitivity to what can go wrong stemmed largely, I believe, from the fact that nine of the correspondents killed in World War II were from Scripps Howard organizations. That included the most famous of all war correspondents, Ernie Pyle, brought down by a sniper on a small island off Okinawa and Raymond Clapper, a renowned political analyst. Foley’s situation and the result that horrified us all came about while covering the Syrian civil war with only minimal back-up. For whatever reason. His parents say he was driven to be there. When captured and held by Islamic State forces, he became an

Patrol took over, only reinforces an “us versus them” mentality — with “us” being the police and “them” being everyone else. As worthwhile it may be to discuss demilitarizing America’s police forces, it’s also worth noting that Darren Wilson, the officer who shot and killed Michael Brown, wasn’t decked out in camouflage when he confronted the young man and his friend. He was driving a patrol car, not an armored personnel carrier. He shot Brown with his service weapon, a standard-issue 9 mm handgun, nothing special. If it’s true that some police are overzealous or abusive — still a wideopen question in the Brown shooting — then greater accountability is crucial. It’s a shame Wilson wasn’t wearing a video camera. Cameras are controversial — police unions hate them, calling them an “encumbrance.” But they may be effective in reining in excessive force and abuse. The Wall Street Journal recently highlighted the Rialto Police Department in Southern California, where every officer is required to wear a body-mounted camera. One year after police introduced the cameras, use of force by officers dropped by 60 percent and citizen complaints fell an astounding 88 percent. The kicker? According to the Journal: “police in Ferguson have a stock of body-worn cameras, but have yet to deploy them to officers.” Cameras may not solve every problem, but the extra accountability could help prevent the next conflagration.

object of propaganda and manipulation by the most ruthless of all the world’s terrorist brands. During his captivity, there was a rejected demand for ransom by the U.S. government and finally an abortive rescue attempt this summer. Could all of this been avoided? Probably, if he had the proper advice, and was warned emphatically that if he got into trouble he would be on his own. Maybe he did receive such counseling, but unsurprisingly it didn’t deter him. The Middle East is the most dangerous area on the planet for Americans generally, but particularly for those assigned there as journalists. Even the indigenous variety is extremely vulnerable. It is one thing to travel with troops around you and quite another to be out there by yourself covering fanatics of all stripe. In Syria there are only the latter. Having said all this, I must admit there is a compulsion to be in front of the firefight that is shared by even those who have the utmost backing. They all seem struck by the same disease that constantly forces them to put their heads in the mouth of a lion. Anything else is second rate.

Easing back-to-school anxieties in kids HERSHEY — After a summer of lazy afternoons and late bedtimes, parents of school-aged children face the deadline for helping their young ones transition to not only a new routine and schedule, but also the academic and social challenges a new school year brings. “The bigger the transition, the younger the child and the less experience with school, the more potential there is for anxiety,” said James Waxmonsky, associate professor of psychiatry and division chief of child psychiatry at Penn State Hershey. The transition from preschool to kindergarten — or from a partial-day to full-day program — is a big milestone for many children. “It has the most physical changes — they are riding a bus for the first time and learning how to order food in the cafeteria from a stranger,” Waxmonsky said. His tips for easing the transition: n Take advantage of opportunities to gain experience. School tours, meet-the-teacher events and practicing ordering food in the cafeteria or riding a school bus provide exposure and experience that help both children and parents keep anxiety at bay. n Keep your own emotions under control. “Kids mirror parental reactions, so if you show a lot of anxiety, distress and worry, you are inadvertently going to trigger that in your child,” Waxmonsky said. “If they see you calmly negotiating stressors, it certainly makes it easier.” n Avoid the urge to linger. “Let the school professionals take over once the child is at the school building,” Waxmonsky said. “And if you have a concern about something, work it out in advance or afterward — not in front of the child.” n Start schedule changes early. “You can realistically expect to change bedtime by about 30 minutes per night, so figure out how far you need to get,” Waxmonsky said. One key to making that work is waking the children earlier in the morning as well: “Otherwise, you won’t get them to bed on time.” n Explain expectations. Talk about things like what goes in the backpack, where they can find your phone number, packing their own book bag and picking out clothing the night before — all that can ease the morning chaos. For older elementary children — and those transitioning to middle school — there are other things to consider: n Get their brains back in gear. Have children read or practice math a little bit each day, especially as the summer break winds down. “Every child benefits from a

PARENTS CAN USE a number of strategies as they get their children ready to go back to school. little ongoing academic work throughout the year,” Waxmonsky said. “Think of school as a skill set — if you took three months off from anything else, you’d lose what you learned.” n Prepare for what you can, don’t worry about what you can’t. Find out where the bus stops, what time it comes and how long middle school students have between classes. Buy a combination lock and let your new middleschool student practice opening it quickly to prevent stress and anxiety during quick class changes. But don’t try to

figure out who will be the best teacher for your child. “You don’t have that control, and every child has individual reactions to particular teachers,” Waxmonsky said. n Have some fun with the transition. Let children have input in back-to-school shopping and make time to do fun things as you prepare for the return to school. Let kids vent about summer being over and school starting up. But then remind them of positive things they have to look forward to such as seeing friends and participating in extracurricular activities they enjoy.

All ages should stay current with vaccines HUNTINGDON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Are you up-to-date on your immunizations? If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t answer that question, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not alone. While many adults with children ensure that their kids donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss vaccinations, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not uncommon for parents to completely neglect their own need for vaccines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vaccines are essential to maintaining the health of the broader community because they help to slow the spread of contagious illnesses,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Laura Newhouser, family medicine physician at Geisinger-Grayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Woods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They help to slow the spread of infectious diseases and, by extension, can even save peoplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives.â&#x20AC;? Vaccines, which are made with weakened or killed antigens of a particular disease, are supported by the medical community in their effectiveness at protecting people from more than 15 highly contagious illnesses, including measles, pertussis (whooping cough) and the flu. Vaccines are particularly important for protecting newborns, seniors and those with chronic diseases or weakened immune systems ,since these diseases can cause serious damage to the body and/or be life-threatening. Although some believe vaccines for diseases such as polio are no longer necessary since theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been mostly eradicated in the United States, that is not the case. Due to the declining number of people getting vaccinated, the more likely individuals are to catch the disease if someone does have it. Diseases such as the measles and per-

tussis are still prevalent in many other regions around the world, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy for an unvaccinated individual to bring it back to the United States. While there are some safety concerns about vaccines, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to note that they undergo rigorous testing to ensure they will not cause harm to those receiving them. Additionally, many studies have debunked the myth that vaccines can cause autism or overexposure to harmful substances, such as aluminum and formaldehyde, which are used in vaccines in very small amounts. Since the recommendations differ for every individual, depending on a number of factors such as age, lifestyle, locations of travel, medical conditions and previous vaccinations, the following is a general guide: n Newborns to 2-year-olds The best way to protect your children from disease is to follow your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pediatricianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommended schedule and to make sure those who are around your baby are up-to-date on their vaccines, too. Immunizations will include a yearly flu vaccine, which is recommended for children 6 months and older. n School-aged children Children ages 4 through 6 should receive boosters for four vaccines, Dtap (diptheria, tetanus and pertussis), polio, chicken pox and MMR (measles, mumps and rubella), and should additionally receive an annual flu vaccine. n Preteens and teenagers

NO MATTER THE AGE, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to keep immunization records up to date. Even into adulthood, keeping track of vaccines is vital. Children ages 11 and 12 should receive the Tdap (tetanus and diptheria), MenACWY (meningitis) and HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccines. They also should receive an annual flu vaccine. n Young adults A booster for Td (tetanus) is needed every 10 years. Young women should finish receiving the HPV series by age 26. n Adults

An annual flu vaccine, a Td or Tdap vaccine (if not received when younger), and a Td booster every 10 years are recommended. It is suggested that you discuss your eligibility for additional vaccines with your doctor. If you plan to travel to an area where certain infectious diseases are common, for example, you may need to receive further immunizations.

Personalized medicine initiative partnership formed DANVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Indivumed, a provider of services enabling individualized cancer therapy, and Geisinger Health System recently announced a partnership that will afford Geisinger patients access to advanced cancer treatment and clinical trials. The collaboration allows Indivumed to partner with Geisinger to collect samples from consenting patients who are already undergoing a surgical tumor resection. Upon resection, a portion of the tissue, blood or urine remaining beyond what is required to make a clinical diagnosis will be banked at Geisinger through MyCode, a repository that holds more than 45,000 patient samples. Another portion will be banked by Indivumed, which will analyze the tissue to be used in the development and, eventually, application of targeted therapies for cancer patients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are pleased to be working on this next generation of cancer treatment with Indivumed,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Glenn D. Steele Jr., president and chief executive officer at Geisinger Health System. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This partnership will give Geisinger patients access to the most advanced cancer therapeutics in the country, close to where they live and work.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Developing targeted pharmaceutical therapies for cancer patients is at the core of our collaboration with Geisinger,â&#x20AC;? said Hartmut Juhl, founder and chief executive officer of Indivumed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Geisingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advanced electronic health record and clini-

cal data repository coupled with our ability to comprehensively analyze patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; individual cancers provides a unique opportunity to quickly translate new scientific discoveries into the practice of medicine.â&#x20AC;? Indivumed will integrate its unique biobanking standard at Geisinger Health System to jointly create a platform that offers opportunities for clinical research focused on tumor biology. Based in Germany, Indivumed is an integrated oncology company that leverages its biorepository of human tissue samples with its diagnostic laboratory to develop individual cancer therapies. Indivumed maintains a biobank of tissues and annotated data from more than 20,000 patients, with about 1,500 new cases added per year, each collected under stringent specifications. The overall goal is to understand the biological difference between tumors and how patients respond to treatment to support the implementation of personalized therapy. Research demonstrates that proteins change expression profiles significantly within minutes following surgical resection. Many of those proteins may serve as biomarkers for new drugs. For this reason, controlled and rapid tissue processing is necessary for understanding biological differences of or within patient tumors, especially when developing targeted therapies. Indivumed follows standardized processes that enable the company to limit cold ischemia time, the time between re-

moval of tissue from the body and the time it is preserved, to less than 10 minutes, guaranteeing tissue samples of the highest biological integrity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal of this partnership is to translate clinical research into specific knowledge about a cancer that is clinically rele-

vant and will enhance patient care,â&#x20AC;? Steele said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We continually strive to look for innovation opportunities to provide our patients with the most advanced care modern science has to offer.â&#x20AC;? For more information, visit www.indivumed.com.

Student earns degree while in war zone By MAE SEVICK Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Even while raising 10 children and serving a military deployment in Afghanistan, Jim Terwilliger obtained a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in cybersecurity from Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Campus. It might have taken considerable dedication and a great deal of flexibility, but, Terwilliger said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad I did it, and I would do it again.â&#x20AC;? Terwilliger chose to pursue a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree to further his career opportunities, spurred on by his lifelong passion for learning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew the job market was very competitive,â&#x20AC;? Terwilliger said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and I wanted every advantage that I could get.â&#x20AC;? For nearly half of the time Terwilliger was completing his degree, he was serving on active duty in Afghanistan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would get up at 4:30 a.m. to watch lectures,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rocket attacks? Yes,â&#x20AC;? said Terwillinger when asked about the wartime environment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every so often during a meeting,

sirens went off. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Are you kidding me?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the other students said. And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No, I have to go. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll catch you later.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Terwilliger lives with his wife of 28 years and their children just outside of Cleveland. Together, they are parents to a brood of 10 children ranging in age from 1 to 27. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My wife took care of all 10 kids by herself when I was away,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is exceptionally wonderful and understanding.â&#x20AC;? Terwilliger added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could not have done it without my family. It was a big sacrifice on their part, too. There were hours and hours every week when I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play Legos with the little kids because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got this paper due, or this lab or Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get online. For the older kids, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little easier to understand; they get it, they see the end and the goal. But the 4- and 6-year-olds â&#x20AC;Ś they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at home, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also at school.â&#x20AC;? Terwilliger decided to study online with Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Campus after conducting research on distant learning programs in information security. Penn State, Terwilliger said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;had no competition.â&#x20AC;?

LHU announces parade LOCK HAVENâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Lock Haven Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Haunted Homecomingâ&#x20AC;? Halloween parade will take place at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 25, on Main Street. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parade is co-sponsored by Lock Haven Fire Department and Lock Haven University and will replace the annual parade that normally takes place on Halloween evening. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parade theme will culminate a week of homecoming events at Lock Haven University. Cash prizes will be awarded for best-appearing float, scariest float, best-appearing vehicle, judges award, most original, funniest, best LHU spirit and most creative LHU organization. Parade participants are asked to refrain from political advertising. The parade route will travel through East Main Street, ending at Triangle Park, where the Lock Haven Fire Department will provide refreshments and donuts.

PLAN NOW FOR THE SAT

As a World Campus student, Terwilliger discovered that some of his classmates also faced challenges that may have proved insurmountable to obtaining a degree in an in-residence setting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Real-life events occur,â&#x20AC;? Terwilliger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hurricane Sandy, natural disasters, war. The university â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the professors and the staff â&#x20AC;&#x201D; set everyone up for success. The work isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy, but if you want to do it, you can do it. Everyone works with you.â&#x20AC;? Structured around live lectures, interaction with professors and other students and teamwork, the IST World Campus experience provides alternative learners with the opportunity to pursue their education, while maintaining full-time jobs and demanding family lives. Currently, Terwilliger works as the manager of information security and compliance at Timken Steel in Ohio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could speak for a lot of employers: They value the education Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten from Penn State,â&#x20AC;? Terwilliger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a really wonderful experience studying with World Campus.â&#x20AC;?

Terwilliger maintained that, due to the age and life experiences of his classmates, his learning environment was richer and more fulfilling, although it did not take place in a traditional classroom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Online education is different than sitting in the classroom,â&#x20AC;? Terwilliger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably not for everyone. You have to be very disciplined, otherwise you find yourself trying to beat the deadlines on Sunday nights.â&#x20AC;?

Grange Fair kicks off with opening ceremony By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — The 140th annual Grange Encampment and Fair kicked off with an opening ceremony on Aug. 21 at the Southside Stage on the fairgrounds. Present at the ceremony were many dignitaries, including Gov. Tom Corbett, Secretary of Agriculture George Greig, agricultural adviser to the governor Barron “Boots” Hetherington, state Grange Master Carl Meiss, Centre Hall Mayor Ray Hankinson, Centre County commissioners Michael Pipe, Chris Exarchos and Steve Dershem, Rep. Kerry Benninghoff, and several fair committee members and administrators. Fair Committee chairman Ben Haagen welcomed the crowd of attendees to the ceremony and introduced Corbett. The governor praised the Grange Fair and its long history. “You and your ancestors have been doing this for 140 years,” said Corbett. “Just think about the tradition they started that you are going to continue on to the rest of your families in generations to follow.” He noted that the number of fairs is declining nationwide, but that Pennsylvania still has a strong tradition of having agricultural fairs. “This is Americana,” he said. “To see this (tradition) right in the center of Pennsylvania — I couldn’t think of a better place to do it.” He thanked the many fairgo-

ers for maintaining the Grange Fair tradition and preserving its history through the many generations of its existence. The governor finished his remarks by reading an official gubernatorial proclamation welcoming all to the 140th Grange Fair. Corbett’s remarks were followed by an address Greig. The Secretary of Agriculture credited the governor for increasing fair funding statewide, saying that under the current administration and legislature, funding to fairs has increased by more than $2 million. Greig later presented the Grange Fair Committee with a check for $29,000 from the state. Greig also presented LeDon Young, of Centre Hall, with the Outstanding Grange Fair Ambassador award for 2014. Young has been involved with the Grange organization and the fair for decades. Young accepted the award on behalf of several deceased Fair Committee members whom she credited for making the fair possible. “At night, when it’s quiet, you can hear them walking around making sure you’re okay, and are having a wonderful fair,” said Young. “The Fair Committee (members) are the most dedicated, wonderful people I have ever met and had the privilege to serve with.” Jack Bell, of Pleasant Gap, was presented with the Fair Committee Member of the Year award for his service to the fair. Bell has served for more than 40 years on the committee.

Tom Corbett looks on. Ron and Pat Burris were given a Friend of the Fair award for their volunteer work in helping to beautify and maintain the fair grounds. Fair secretary Darlene Confer concluded the ceremony with a

story about a young lady who had emailed Confer, asking to be put on the waiting list for a tent. “The lady said ‘Don’t worry, I won’t need a tent for 20 years,’” said Confer. “I was intrigued by that and emailed her back, and

she said she was 12 years old, and watched our TV documentary and fell in love with our fair. She planned to go to college, become a veterinarian, raise animals and show them at the Grange Fair. That young lady is from Texas.”

Bellefonte Community Band director steps down By SAM STITZER

pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — Natalie Stanton led her last concert as director of the Bellefonte Community Band on Aug. 23 during the Grange Fair. Stanton, who has directed the band since 2008, has decided to step down due to a busy schedule and demands on her time. Stanton, whose home town is Berwick, received a degree in elementary education and music from Lebanon Valley College. She taught music in the Baltimore area for three years before moving to Bellefonte with her husband, Curt, and their two children. She joined the Bellefonte Community Band, where she became a member of the band executive board and was later appointed director. She currently teaches music at Saint John the Evangelist Catholic School in Bellefonte. Stanton’s philosophy of directing reflects her experience as a school band director. “The role of a community band director is much like the role of a school band director, inasmuch as people are coming back and a lot of them feel insecure about their abilities, and should be encouraged,” she said. “When you sit with quality musicians, and you have quality music in front of you, you can’t help but get better.” Stanton’s duties as director will be assumed by Joshua Long, who was introduced at the Grange Fair concert. Long earned a bachelor’s degree in music education from Penn State University, where he played the euphonium in the Blue Band. He earned a performance degree in euphonium from the University of Hartford, and is now pursuing a doctorate at Penn State. Long previously taught a high school band and directed a pep band, as well as assisting with a drum and bugle corps. He also operates the Art and Music Emporium in Bangor. He and his wife, Becky, live in State College. The Bellefonte Community Band has been performing

WALKERS GATHER for the Mount Nittany Health Walk kickoff at the Grange Fair grandstand. They walked on a mile-long path around the fairgrounds.

Mount Nittany Health hosts Health Walk at Grange Fair By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — One of the greatest attractions of Grange Fair is the food. Hundreds of vendors dispense all manner of culinary delights, many loaded with sugar and fat. Tenters and campers who spend the week there often find themselves gaining weight and elevating their blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Attempting to combat the negative health effects of sweet and fatty fair foods, employees of Mount Nittany Health in State College created the Mount Nittany Health Walk at the Grange Fair. Event organizer Erin Welsh, a communications coordinator for Mount Nittany Health, said this is the fifth year for the program, which encourages fair residents to walk a mile each day of the fair. A mile-long walking route winds through the grounds,

beginning and ending at the grandstand and traversing nine different streets. Welsh said the walkers are issued a passport to record their walks. “We stamp your passport each day at our booth. If you walk at least five miles and get five stamps, you get a prize at a celebration we have at the end of the fair,” Welsh said. The Health Walk kickoff was held on Aug. 22. About 40 people, ranging in age from pre-teens to senior citizens, gathered at the grandstand and began their walk around the grounds. Each walker was given a Mount Nittany Health tote bag for participating. The walkers warmed up for their walk with exercises led by Grange Fair librarian J.A. Babay. The Mount Nittany Health booth, located in Commercial Exhibit Building 12 on Garbrick Avenue, has various specialists on hand throughout the fair to conduct blood pressure screenings and to dispense information on health-related subjects such as diabetes, orthopedics, CPR, osteoporosis and more.

There are plenty of ways to still enjoy summer By PAULA SNYDER Special to the Gazette

Let’s face it: The end of August means that summer, as most kids know it, is about to end. That means it is time to gear up for school. No more endless hours of relaxing at home, swimming in the pool, playing with video games or hanging out with friends. It’s time to buy school supplies, get some new clothes and get to bed early. What? Is the fast-approaching school year all that serious? While it is nice to be prepared by doing things like taking a tour of your new school and finding out when the bus will arrive, the end of summer should be enjoyed. Spend time together as a family,

catch a Spikes game, go to the Grange Fair or just enjoy being outside. Summer is a special time. Don’t worry so much about what is coming next. Don’t miss out on a chance to relax before the hectic school year begins. Enjoy the quiet moments, as well as the fun noisy ones, before school starts. Listen to what kids say while they sit next to you on the Ferris wheel. Take a photo of them with cotton candy stuck in their hair. And, if school worries creep into your children’s thoughts, remind them of all the

good things that happened last year at school and how exciting new things really are. What is so bad, by the way, about getting together with friends, wearing new clothes, playing their favorite sports or learning new things on the computer? If they seem nervous, listen and find out what they are nervous about. Solve any problems ahead of time. Have your children talk to friends before school starts, make a plan to meet in the lunch room, or talk about what they

will wear on the first day of school. If it is possible, have everyone get a few “normal” nights of sleep before school starts so they are ready for the day. For most children, this means a solid eight to 10 hours of uninterrupted slumber. For teens, this may include making sure the cell phone “sleeps” far away from the bedroom. Mostly, remember that the summer really doesn’t end in August. It lasts through most of September. Continue to plan summer events after school starts. Your grill still works, being outside will still be fun and it is a perfect time for hanging out with friends and family. Paula Snyder is a parent educator for the Centre County Youth Service Bureau.

Borough asks for community Trail ride to benefit Children’s Miracle Network input for master park plan STATE COLLEGE — State College Borough is currently undertaking the development of a design master plan for Holmes Foster Park, an 11-acre site located in the Holmes Foster neighborhood. Public involvement opportunities in this project are scheduled throughout the next three months, which the borough hopes residents will participate. This space was originally dedicated in 1930 and is an open space asset that is well used by neighborhood and regional visitors. Although it is an attractive park today, it was identified by the borough as requiring a more deliberate strategy for management and enhancement to meet current community needs. Potential areas of improvement may include, but are not limited to: enhanced multi-generational recreation/play facilities, landscape plantings, tree preservation, sustainability strategies, traffic patterns, restrooms and pavilion facilities. Meetings will be a highly interactive forum for the community, and all age groups are invited and encouraged to at-

tend. The meetings will serve two important purposes: n Review of initial findings related to evaluation of the existing conditions of the site, as well as preliminary ideas for the types of improvements that may be included in the site based on data collection efforts. n Providing all age groups in the community the opportunity to participate in shaping improvements to the park by contributing their ideas, vision and direction for the park’s development. The park master planning effort is expected to be completed by mid-fall and is intended to be a strategic road map for the implementation of proposed improvements. The project was partially funded by a Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Community Conservation grant, with matching funds from the borough. Residents can find more information about the project at www.statecollegepa. us, or by contacting Alan Sam, borough arborist/environmental coordinator, at (814) 234-7145 or asam@statecollegepa.us.

Penn State opens Franklin era with game in Ireland By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The story behind how new Penn State head coach James Franklin’s Nittany Lions will face off against Central Florida in Dublin, Ireland, on Saturday, Aug. 30 is so convoluted and labyrinth-like that it almost defies belief. It’s not even surprising that a volcano in Iceland called Bardarbunga is threatening to have the game moved to an American stadium. Something happening like that was almost to be expected. Yet the game is at hand, and if everything over the last two years leading up to it can be put aside, it promises to be a cracking good story in itself. Flash back to last season’s thrilling 34-31 UCF win at Beaver Stadium. Led by first-round NFL draft pick Blake Bortles, UCF ran up 507 yards of offense against the Lions, and Bortles was 20-of-27 for 288 yards and three touchdowns. Tailback (and also NFL draft pick) Storm Johnson ran for 117 yards and scored the go-ahead touchdown for UCF with a 58-yard sweep for a TD in the second quarter. But Penn State, down 31-17 entering the fourth quarter, battled back after a 1-yard touchdown run by Zach Zwinak and a 5-yard scoring pass from Christian Hackenberg to Allen Robinson made the score 34-31 with just under three minutes to play. Penn State needed a stop, but Bortles was up to the task and Central Florida ran out the clock to win the game. Now, Bortles and Johnson are gone, as well as top receiver Jeff Godfrey, but that doesn’t mean the UCF coffers are empty. The Knights return five experienced receivers from last season, including Rannell Hall and Breshad Perriman, who are both on the Biletnikoff Award watch list.

Redshirt freshman Pete DiNovo was named the starting quarterback for UCF, and he will have sophomore running back William Stanback (443 yards in 2013) in the backfield with him. The Knights’ strength, however, might be their defense. Of the 30 defensive players to see action last season, 24 are back for 2014. All four primary starters are back in the secondary, and the team’s two top tacklers — SS Clayton Geathers and LB Terrance Plummer — are both back. All of UCF’s special teams pieces return as well, including punter Caleb Huston and kicker Shawn Moffitt. The Knights were 12-1 last season, and they have the third-longest winning streak in the FBS. Saturday’s game is one of the most widely anticipated in the history of UCF football, and the same could be said for Penn State. James Franklin’s arrival and subsequent storm of activity — especially in recruiting — has Penn State fans more than excited. Now it’s time to actually play. All of the talk, the anticipation, the preparation are over. It is time for Franklin to lead the Nittany Lions onto the field. At Vanderbilt, Franklin proved he can coach, but because of the sanctions and other factors, he has his work cut out for him at Penn State. The offensive line is thin in numbers and inexperienced; it will be severely tested by UCF’s seasoned defense. Penn State is also inexperienced TIM WEIGHT/Gazette /Gazette file photo

TRIP at linebacker, especially with the backups, and the Knights’ wide open, spread offense will surely offer a major challenge for that group. Probably the most important matchup is Penn State’s experienced defensive secondary against the receiving corps of UCF. The Knights shredded the PSU secondary last season, but without Bortles it remains to be seen how aggressive UCF is with its passing game — and how aggressive the new Penn State secondary will play. Penn State will have to replace Allen Robinson in its offense, but Franklin has commented many times about the speed and athleticism of the PSU receivers, especially the newcomers. Hackenberg will need to have open receivers, especially if UCF comes all-out with pressure against the Penn State offensive line. At running back, Penn State is more than formidable, with Zach Zwinak, Bill Belton and Akeel Lynch all possessing different styles, but all effective nonetheless. The Penn State tight ends are a wild card. Even with the loss of Adam Breneman to injury, the PSU tight ends are big, deep threats who can also line up and block. Look for 6-foot-7 Jesse James to be one of Penn State’s top receivers. Then there’s sophomore quarterback Hackenberg. Under Bill O’Brien last season, Hackenberg flourished in his freshman season. Now a year older and 15 pounds bigger, he will be the unquestioned leader of the Penn State offense. Exactly how Penn State’s new staff will use him is a mystery, but there’s no doubts about his talent and potential. There are many other unknowns about the new Penn State that will be revealed on Saturday. There will be revamped — and reemphasized — special teams, new kick returners, and, if you listen to the coaches, a new aggressive and relentless defense. So don’t oversleep on Saturday. The game kicks off at 8:30 a.m. from Croke Park, and literally anything can happen in this game. Even a volcanic eruption.

Michigan State looks like the team to beat By JOE CHRISTENSEN Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Four weeks ago, Urban Meyer took the podium at Big Ten Media Days, anticipating questions about Braxton Miller’s throwing shoulder, and worked quickly to ease concerns. “It’s been a very good summer,” the third-year Ohio State coach said. “Our quarterback — I know we’ll get asked that question — is ready to go. He’s fullspeed, in the best shape of his life.” Meyer stressed other concerns. The offensive line must replace four starters. The pass defense got torched in last season’s final three games. Several other key players are gone from last year’s 12-2 team, including running back Carlos Hyde, linebacker Ryan Shazier and offensive lineman Jack Mewhort. The newly configured Big Ten East appeared to be, at the time, a two-team race between Ohio State and Michigan State. Miller was healthy, and he was going to make the Buckeyes

go. Nineteen of 29 sportswriters covering the Big Ten picked Ohio State to win the conference title in Cleveland.com’s annual poll. So when the Big Ten’s twotime offensive player of the year reinjured his shoulder last week, ending his season, it threw Ohio State’s best-laid plans into the Olentangy River. The Spartans now are the clear favorites, but upon closer inspection, maybe it should have been that way all along. The Spartans went 13-1 last year, beating Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game and outmuscling Stanford in the Rose Bowl. Michigan State won all eight of its conference games by at least 10 points. Its only loss was a four-point tossup at Notre Dame. This year, the Spartans could be even better. They might not be the only Big Ten team with a shot to reach the four-team College Football Playoff, but they’re probably the best equipped to win it. In July, Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio wasn’t shy when Michigan, Page 18

AN INJURY TO Ohio State’s Braxton Miller has opened the door for several teams in the Big Ten. Michigan State appears to be the favorite of the newly conﬁgured Big Ten East Division.

Nittany Notes: Offensive line will have some depth this season By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State’s offensive line is an obvious question mark heading into the season. That issue has been rehashed about as many times as head coach James Franklin has been asked about the team’s uniform changes or lack thereof. But as the Nittany Lions head into UCF prep time, it’s time for answers to these questions to start to emerge. And right now, things are still a little foggy on the offensive front. “We haven’t really had the same five guys at the same five spots for multiple practices, yet,” Franklin said. “Now it’s how do we get the best five on the field complementing each other, playing as a unit. How do we get some consistency there?” Consistency isn’t the only issue Franklin and offensive line coach Herb Hand will have to deal with. Depth across that line will be a weak spot all season, with almost 10 dif-

ferent linemen entering the season as freshman with no college football experience. That lack of experience isn’t a guarantee that Penn State’s line will struggle, but it does make it an area of concern moving forward. “We won’t have traditional depth,” Franklin said. “It’s not like we’ll have a two deep where the left tackle has a backup, the right tackle has a backup. It’s probably going to be seven or eight guys at this point that we feel good about, and those guys are going to have to be trained at multiple spots.” Down the road, that kind of flexibility could be a big asset. Former head coach Bill O’Brien often praised offensive linemen who were well-versed in multiple positions along the front. If Hand can get his depth players ready to fill in at multiple positions, it could help mask depth issues at any single position. Ultimately, though, it’s about getting the best five players on the field on every down. The time remaining to figure out who those five players are is running out.

Jerseys with names making their way to Ireland By TIM GILBERT StateCollege.com

DALE G. YOUNG/AP Photo

WITH OHIO STATE’S Braxton Miller out for the season, head coach Mark Dantonio and his Michigan State Spartans hope to rise to the top in the Big Ten. Michigan, from page 15 asked how the Spartans would have fared if the four-team playoff format had been installed last season. “I thought we would have been national champions, to be perfectly honest with you,” Dantonio told reporters. “I think we would have had a shot to do that, because I thought at the end of the season, we were playing great football, and we were believing in ourselves.” Too bad Michigan State didn’t get that chance because the Big Ten’s national perception continued to take a beating last year. Even after knocking off the undefeated Buckeyes in the conference title game, the Spartans entered the Rose Bowl as 6 1/2-point underdogs. Doubts lingered until Connor Cook took control in that 24-20 victory over Stanford. “I feel like we represented our conference pretty well,” Michigan State safety Kurtis Drummond said. “We tried making a statement. Whether or not it worked on people, we’ve just got to handle our business.” Some good players graduated, including defensive standouts Darqueze Dennard, Max Bullough and Denicos Allen. But several decorated stars return, including Cook, 1,400-yard rusher Jeremy Langford and Shilique Calhoun, the reigning Big Ten defensive lineman of the year. The Spartans need to fill holes at linebacker, but otherwise there’s no apparent weakness. They are deep at receiver, and the offensive line is perhaps the strongest of Dantonio’s eight-year tenure. The Spartans have ranked in the nation’s top 10 in scoring defense the past three years. Recruits such as defensive tackle Malik McDowell, the No. 1 ranked player in Michigan, have lined up to play in defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi’s system. That’s why it should be a fascinating matchup on Saturday, Sept. 6, when the Spartans face Marcus Mariota and the explosive Oregon offense. A victory in Eugene, Ore., would position Michigan State

well for a playoff berth. A loss wouldn’t end its chances if it can run the Big Ten table again. “One way or the other, win or lose, we need to gain experience from that game and be able to push through and into the conference,” Dantonio said. “We have a great home schedule, so we need to continue to win at home.” That’s the other reason Michigan State should be so tough. Most of its biggest Big Ten tests — Nebraska (Oct. 4), Michigan (Oct. 25) and Ohio State (Nov. 8) — all come in East Lansing. Many have circled the Ohio StateMichigan State as the de-facto Big Ten East championship game, and it could play out that way. Ohio State usually reloads. Its defensive line will be one of the best in the country. Miller’s replacement is redshirt freshman J.T. Barrett, a four-star recruit from Texas. Sophomore receiver Dontre Wilson will be a constant big-play threat. Questions abound for the rest of the division. Michigan has gone backward the past three years under Brady Hoke, and the Wolverines will need to revamp a rushing attack that ranked 102nd in the nation last year. Penn State has some spring in its step with new coach James Franklin reeling in recruits, but the Nittany Lions still have scholarship limitations and a bowl ban from the Jerry Sandusky scandal. Indiana has yet to show it can play defense under fourth-year coach Kevin Wilson. Of the two Big Ten newcomers, Maryland looks much more suited to compete than Rutgers, but neither team is expected to finish too far from the East’s cellar. “I think it’s one of the toughest divisions in college football,” Meyer said. “You just have to look at the recruiting that takes place at the schools, and then the style of defense and offense.” But those words came before Miller’s injury. Suddenly, Ohio State no longer looks as dangerous. Cleveland.com polled the same Big Ten writers again after Miller’s injury, and 22 of 25 respondents picked Michigan State.

UNIVERSITY PARK — If you were being kept up at night wondering how Penn State’s jerseys would look in 2014, rest easy. If the jersey of defensive tackle Darow Barney is like the rest of them, names will remain on the backs of the blue and white this year. Barney’s was spotted as tons of equipment was loaded up for the trip to Ireland on Aug. 26. Penn State will be playing the University of Central Florida in Dublin on Saturday, Aug. 30. Bill O’Brien added the names to the jerseys for the 2012 season to recognize the resolve and dedication of those players who didn’t transfer after the sanctions were handed down. In both off-seasons since, speculation swirled about whether or not the names would stay. James Franklin was cognizant of how much fans care about Penn State’s look, and he joked on ESPN this summer that Penn State would do something similar to Oregon with its jerseys. However, he never made an official ruling on the jerseys. For what it’s worth, the uniforms were also ranked No. 1 in the league by NFL. com this summer.

OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR John Donovan is pleased with the depth the Nittany Lions have at running back.

Donovan happy with depth at running back By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Head coach James Franklin says three is the perfect number of running backs to have in an offensive system. And Penn State has three ready and able to contribute at the first snap. So for offensive coordinator John Donovan, there are a number of good options in the backfield. “It’s hard to play running back the entire game,” Donovan said on a teleconference call on Aug. 25. “So, you’re going to need guys to spell each other and we’ll see how ultimately it works out. But they complement each other well — the two older guys — they’ve both played a lot of ball and they’re both going to play a lot.” Bill Belton and Zach Zwinak are the established assets on Penn State’s offense this season, along with quarterback Christian Hackenberg. The rest of the unit is still up in the air in terms of which players can and will contribute. If anyone is ready to finally hear his number called, though, it’s redshirt sophomore Akeel Lynch, who has been itching for a chance to prove himself. “Akeel has kind of been like the leech that’s kind of been hanging on to every

move that those guys have made, and it’s also made him better,” running backs coach Charles Huff said. “I think last year, him getting in a couple different spots there really helped his maturity. “The biggest thing that we talked about with him was you got to come into this year and you got to prepare as if you’re a starter. And I’m not sure he had ever done that in the past, so now we feel comfortable as a staff with either of those three guys being the guy.” Penn State will need all it can get out of its main three as the Nittany Lions look to find an offensive identity early in the season and as the offensive line continues to gel in the trenches. There will be a bit of a learning curve for some of the Nittany Lions. However, the skill sets of Belton, Lynch and Zwinak really gives Penn State plenty of options in the running game. “Right now, we’re able to put those guys in position to be successful by play,” Huff said. “There’s certain plays that Zwinak’s good at it, there’s certain plays that Belton’s good at, there’s certain plays that Akeel is good at, so now we have options.” And on a team where the roster is thin, the experience level is lacking and the wins will come by harder than usual, those are good options to have.

PSU women’s soccer squad dominates Syracuse By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — There are shutouts, and then there are the near-perfect shutouts like the one the Penn State women’s soccer team hung on Syracuse on Aug. 24 at Jeffery Field. With Mallory Weber supplying all the PSU offense with two goals, the Nittany Lion defense allowed Syracuse no goals, no corner kicks and just one shot on goal. The Orange did manage three shots overall, but only Maya Pitts’ shot in the 52nd minute was anywhere close to the net. Besides that, Syracuse didn’t mount a threat. The modest 2-0 final score was far from indicative of how dominant the Nittany Lions were in the match. “Whitney Church, Britt Eckerstrom and Kori Chapic, their leadership (on defense) has been tremendous,” Penn State head coach Erica Walsh said, “and equally as important is the way the freshmen are following and doing their job. “That (the defense) is going to be a real solid unit. That unit is starting to show some real progress.” The teams battled through a conservative and scoreless first half. Penn State did get three shots, all saved by Orange goalie MacKenzie Moranz, but Syracuse didn’t get any and spent most of the half fighting Penn State off in its defensive end. Finally, in the 48th minute, Weber broke through. After a hard shot from the left wing by Raquel Rodriguez, Mo-

ranz could not hold on to the ball. It bounced just beyond her reach, and Weber was there to kick it home for a 1-0 Penn State lead. “We talked about how their keeper didn’t have much experience,” Weber said, “and taking shots from distance and following them had having a little bit of faith that luck would go our way. And it did twice.” Syracuse did answer, in a way, with Pitts’ shot four minutes later, but it was an easy save for PSU keeper Eckerstrom. Penn State kept up the pressure and two minutes later struck again. This time Weber picked up a loose ball right in front and struck it to the left of Moranz for a 2-0 Penn State advantage. “I think it was Rockie (Rodriguez) who took a player on and shot it,” Weber said, “and just from habit and instinct and from working and following through, it landed at my feet and I tucked it away.” Penn State, now with a twogoal lead and a firm grip on the Syracuse offense, returned to its more conservative offense. The Nittany Lions did get three more shots — one by Rodriguez and two by freshman Emily Ogle — in the final 15 minutes of play, but with no serious threats by the Orange, Penn State simply ran out the clock for the win. The Nittany Lions are now 2-0 in the young season, an encouraging start for a team with 11 freshmen that has had to replace three of its top five scorers from last year. “I’m glad we won. That’s all that matters in the end,” Rodri-

MARK SELDERS/Penn State Athletic Communications

MALLORY WEBER scored both goals as the Penn State women’s soccer team blanked Syracuse, 2-0, on Aug. 24 at Jeffrey Field. guez said, “but there are things to improve. I think we improved a lot in the second half today, compared to the first half. But we won, so I’m glad. “For the next games, I think that’s one of the things we have to address for sure, being more aggressive from the beginning.”

Penn State will host Connecticut on Friday, Aug. 29, before heading to the Duke Nike Classic for games against Duke and North Carolina. The Big 10 season begins at Purdue on Friday, Sept. 12. “We will emphasize the details,” Walsh said, “and there are

a lot of details to get into. Every one of these opponents will throw something different at us. What Syracuse did compared to West Virginia was completely different, and we will see something different from U-Conn. So we’ll continue to analyze those finer points.”

Franklin at home during first radio show of the year By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — James Franklin looked right at home at Damon’s for his first radio show of the year, making jokes, remembering the names of fans he met many weeks ago, handing out shirts and shaking hands during commercial breaks. It’s safe to say that Franklin could have done a lot of different things with a skill set that makes him so people-friendly, but as a head football coach he has to answer head football coach questions. Here are a few of the highlights from the Aug. 21 event: n When asked if the team is better now than two weeks ago. Franklin: “Definitely. I was really pleased with our practice today. Thursday is usually kind of a jog through. We go full speed on Tuesday and Wednesday with competitive scout teams. I told the scout teams I want them to be ‘Rudys’ with talent. Thursday is a walk-through and they were really sharp. We canceled practice yesterday and sent them to the movies. Their bodies are starting to come back from two-a-days. We’re in a good place right now.” n On the value of the wildcat formation. Franklin: “I know people are saying, ‘You have this great quarterback, why would you take him out of the play?’ Here’s the rationale with wildcat. When you line up in traditional offense when the QB hands the ball off, the quarterback is doing nothing but handing the ball off. When you line the quarterback up wide, people say you don’t have to cover him, but you still do. And the game truly becomes 11 on 11

We have some issues on the offensive line so we’ll have to look for every advantage we possibly can. We’re going to have to be creative and take risks.” n On moving into a new league where everything is new the first time around. Franklin: “We did a lot of studies this summer watching tape, evaluating schemes. Where the experience helps you is not the players — you can get that

from film — its familiarizing yourself with the coordinators. After playing people a couple of years, you can get a feel for that. We really won’t have a great feel for that probably until two or three years, because it’s not just the coaches, it’s the venues.” n On the importance of having players recruiting recruits. Franklin: “It’s no different than any other business. If you walk into a business and you’re treated first-class, you go back

to their business and remember that. When we bring recruits on campus, we spend time with them, or they’ll go to the student union with the players. It’s one thing for us to say it, it’s another for our current players, and then another is our actual recruiting class. They know they’re only going to be as good as the guys they surround themselves with.” n On changing the team arrival.

Franklin: “Coming to Penn State, there’s not a whole lot of things that we have to change. We came pulling up to the BlueWhite Game, we walked 40 yards and the place was packed and people weren’t able to interact. I said, ‘Why can’t we extend that?’ If we can pull the buses up and stop by the baseball field and walk the entire street, and include the band and cheerleaders and make it a real experience. That’s an opportunity for players to get to see their parents right before they go on the field. This is something we can add to what we’re already doing and show the fans how much we appreciate them.” n On changing game prep due to travel. Franklin: “We take a game, and then we count back. We’ll have a bonus Sunday practice for Central Florida. We give players Mondays off. We’ll have a bonus Wednesday practice and Thursday practices and then get into a normal game week. Before that, we didn’t talk about Central Florida; it was focusing on being the best Penn State we can possibly be.”

BONUS NOTES:

n New Penn State athletic director Sandy Barbour made an appearance at the radio show along with a number of Franklin’s administrative staff members. n Franklin says that his family is in town but is living with QB coach Ricky Rahne while the Franklin house is getting ready. n Penn State has loaded the playbook onto the team’s newly purchased iPads.

High school football previews: Time to kick it off By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

Football is back. Another high school season is upon us. There is a full slate of games on Friday, Aug. 29, as all six Centre County squads open the 2014 campaign. A closer look at the games:

SPRING FORD AT STATE COLLEGE

Not a team to shy away from a challenge, State College again will open its season with a tough opponent. District 1 power Spring Ford will visit Memorial Field on Friday night. The Rams were 10-3 last season, boasting wins over Owen J. Roberts (47-3), Pottstown (49-7), Downington West (43-21) and Phoenixville (39-0). Spring Ford presents a balanced attack with both top quarterbacks, Matt Daywalt and Brandon Leacraft, returning, as well

as top receiver Dan Matthews. Leading rusher Jarred Jones graduated, however, so the Rams will be looking for a replacement for him. State College, with new coach Matt Lintal taking the helm for the first time, will have to replace 40 graduated seniors. The numbers are there with more than 90 players on the roster, but there are holes to fill at almost every position. Lintal will find out how his team is developing very quickly against Spring Ford. Kickoff at Memorial Field is set for 7 p.m.

JUNIATA AT PENNS VALLEY

Penns Valley lost much of its offense to graduation, including Taylor Collison, Luke Weaver and Cam Tobias, and there are many openings to fill on both sides of the ball. Coach Martin Tobias will be looking to young juniors and sophomores to fill

Husqvarna 125B Blower

Husqvarna 455 Rancher Chainsaw

those positions. Last season, the Rams were 4-6, and even though Penns Valley could put up points, many times the Rams were outscored. So replacing the six departed defensive starters will be critical. This season’s opening night opponent is Juniata, a team the Rams beat 21-16 in last year’s first week at Juniata. Juniata was also 4-6 last season, with wins over Line Mountain, East Juniata, Millersburg and Halifax. Juniata returns starting dual-threat quarterback Tyler Clark, running backs Ty Treaster and Josh Parson and receiver Sheldon Miller. Clark was a freshman last season, and how he has developed will be one of the keys to the game. Kickoff in Spring Mills is set for 7 p.m.

BELLEFONTE AT JERSEY SHORE

Bellefonte was winless last season, and head coach Shanon Manning is looking for improvement in every area in 2014. Bellefonte lost four key players from the 2013 team, but there are a slew of returnees — plus some newcomers — who remember and learned from the past two Raider seasons. Bellefonte will open the season at Jersey Shore, which will be no easy task. The Bulldogs were 6-7 last season, but they won five of their last six games before falling to Clearfield, 27-8, in the playoffs. They claimed wins over Bloomsburg, Milton, Central Mountain and Selinsgrove.

A win here for Bellefonte will certainly get Manning’s reclamation project off on the right foot. Kickoff in Jersey Shore is scheduled for 7 p.m.

WEST BRANCH AT P-O

Philipsburg-Osceola begins its 2014 season against cross-town rival West Branch on Friday night. There’s no doubt that new P-O coach Mike Soyster has his hands full trying to revive the Mountie program after two long seasons, but Soyster is optimistic. He is beginning by trying to instill pride and confidence in his players, and he is challenging them to play harder than anyone they face. West Branch may be a good opponent to start building that confidence. West Branch went winless last season, and although it played well in some games, many of those losses were one-sided. Something has to give, and one of these two teams will get their season off the ground with a big win. If it’s P-O, all of the talk about confidence and pride might begin to sink in. Kickoff at P-O is scheduled for 7 p.m.

MOSHANNON VALLEY AT BEA

Inlow expects Mounties to defend district title By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

PHILIPSBURG — A closer look at the 2014 PhilipsburgOsceola High School boys’ soccer team: Coach — Shawn Inlow. 2013 record — 10-9-1, District 6 champions; lost to Oley Valley in state playoffs. Key losses — Alvero Sands and Hunter Honan. Key returnees — Andy Gray, Kyle Albert, Skyler Krise, Wyatt Inlow, Austin Krise and goalie Mitch Winters. Head coach Sean Inlow opened the 2014 preseason soccer camp of the two-time District 6 champion P-O Mounties on Aug. 11. The Mounties return nearly everyone, according to Inlow. “Almost the entire district championship team from last year (is back),” he said. Inlow’s team last season started slowly, but the Mounties peaked just at the right time — in the playoffs. Entering as the No. 6 seed, P-O knocked off the No. 3, the No. 2, and the No. 1 seeds on the way to the championship. This season, with five returning starters and a influx of younger players, P-O looks to avoid the slow start. Strengths — “We are strong in the mid-field, and our back line is better than last year,” Inlow said. “We pass the ball really well, and we have depth in the midfield.

“We like the ball on the ground, and when we get onto nice surfaces, we play really, really well. We are more vulnerable on this field (at PHS) because it’s very hard.” Concerns — The early season. “We need them to be sharp in the beginning,” Inlow said. “We need them to come out strong. Our first league game is against Tyrone, and we beat them for the title last year, so they are going to want something back. If we come out weak, they are going to give it to us. “If our players come in to the season fit, they will be fine.” Outlook — Inlow is upbeat about his team’s potential this season and especially his returning players. “Wyatt Inlow, my son, is our center mid, and basically you put your most dynamic player in that spot. Skyler Krise, a captain and center back, and his brother Austin Krise are both important to us. Andy Gray is another captain and a senior and another player with an important role. “We also have nine freshmen who are pretty good. I see varsity potential in all of them, so once we graduate this group, we’ll hopefully keep on going. “We always have the same goals — win the league, win the district and go as far into the states as luck and fate allow.” Circle these dates — at Tyrone (Sept. 3); vs. Bald Eagle Area (Sept. 6); at Penns Valley (Sept. 9); vs. Bellefonte (Sept. 11).

Lady Mounties hope to continue winning ways PHILIPSBURG — A closer look at the 2014 PhilipsburgOsceola High School girls’ volleyball team: Coach — Dave Eckberg. 2013 record — 30-6. Key losses — Kylie Scovern, Marley Chutko, Emily Bush-Clark, Jordan Walstrom and Taylor Lenick, as well as Abby Showers, who will be lost because of an injury. Key returnees — Hannah Shimmel, Liz Robertson and McKenzie Burge. The Philipsburg-Osceola girls’ volleyball team has gone 60-12 over the past two seasons, but many of the stars from those teams graduated last June. Five starters from

the 2013 team are gone, and another starter, senior Abby Showers, will be lost for this season because of a shoulder injury. So there are many spots to fill for head coach Dave Eckberg. “We lost a lot of players from last season, and we’re in a different mode right now,” Eckberg said. “Last year’s team had great chemistry, and we are missing some of that right now. “We have our center, McKenzie Burge, who will be a four-year starter at center, coming back, and Liz Robertson is coming back also and she will be a four-year starter. We lost Abby Showers, which was a big loss for us, and we can’t really replace her, but we’ll do our best to see who can step up and fill the void. “Those are the seniors who we are going to rely on to be our leaders this year.” Strengths — “I would like to think that we will continue to be a strong serving team,” Eckberg said. “We put a lot of emphasis on that with them, and we also return what I think is an All-State setter. She hasn’t been named that yet, but I think she deserves it. So we have a kid who can set the ball, and a kid who can pass it; now we need someone who can hit it really hard.” Concerns — Eckberg is most concerned with developing his offense. “We need to find ways to generate offense because statistically we lost 99 percent of our offense from last year. All those kids who earned kills are all gone. It’s tough to replace all that offense, and that’s what we are trying to do now.” Outlook — “We start off this season with a tournament at Central Mountain,” Eckberg said, “and that’s a good way to get a lot of volleyball right off in the season. In one day we play five matches, and we can kind of assess things from there. “The competition is on the medium side, so we’re not jumping into something over our heads. We will get enough competition where we can fairly evaluate our players. After that we jump into our league season. I think there is a lot of parity this season, and with us losing many of our players, I think things are kind of wide open. “The young kids that are here are competitive, which is what we are looking for, and sometimes you can’t teach that. I get a sense that there is some athleticism out there, and the challenge is going to be can they blend together as a team. “We’re not there yet, but that’s what we will be working on the next two weeks.” Circle these dates — vs. Penns Valley (Sept. 4); at Cen-

State High volleyball squad plans to pick up where it left off By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

sports@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — A closer look at the 2014 State College Area High School girls’ volleyball squad: Head coach — Chad Weight 2013 record — 22-5-4, 15-1 conference Key losses — Taylor Lee, Christine Irwin and Abby Harrington Key returnees — Kyla Irwin, Jenae Moran, Cindy McNulty, McKenzie Sullivan and Rosie Sowers. State College girls’ volleyball head coach Chad Weight said that the 2014 version of his team will be different than in the recent past. The big hitters on the outside are gone, and the team will have to rely on ball control, defense and serving. After a 22-5 campaign in 2013 (15-1 in the Mid-Penn), the tradition and winning know-how is certainly there, but the players will have to adjust to a new style. Strengths — One of the strengths of the team, according to Weight, is the chemistry among the players.

“This group works well together,” he said. “I think we’ll serve well, we have a good number of servers. We’re not the big, physical team we have been in the last four years, so we’ll have to rely on ball control and defense.” Concerns — “Not nearly as big,” Weight said. “The last couple of years we’ve had some pretty dominant outsides that have been All-State caliber kids. Cristine was a 5-10 All-State player, and Taylor was a 6-3 All-State player. We’ve lost some kids, but I think we’ll figure it out.” Outlook — “The first big test is the Garden Spot Tournament,” Weight said. “A lot of the state’s elite will be there. The kids are going to let us know what we have to do. What we look forward to, especially in the Garden Spot Tournament, oftentimes it lets you know where you are and where everybody else is. So that’s a good starting point to let us know what we have to work towards. “Despite losing some players and not being the big, physical team, the chemistry part goes a long way.

Ice hockey is a hot ticket in Happy Valley

By BEN JONES

Penn State was one of only five NCAA programs to play at more than 100 percent capacity at its home events.

StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Interest in Penn State hockey hasn’t cooled off a bit judging by the sport’s latest ticket sales information. Penn State says season ticket packages have sold out. The university says a 95 percent renewal rate limited the number of available packages. Last season — the first in the Pegula Ice Arena — the Nittany Lions competed in front of sellout crowds on 16 occasions.

23-24), Wisconsin (Feb. 6-7) and Minnesota (Feb. 20-21). The Ohio State (Jan. 9-10) and Michigan series (March 6-7) are not included in the season package, as all four games occur when students are away on break. The Ohio State series will be available for purchase once single-game tickets go on sale, while the Michigan series will be available for purchase in January.

Sandonato spends time with PASCP students By ANNE WALKER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — For the second consecutive week, the Performing Arts School of Central Pennsylvania hosted a Pennsylvania Ballet veteran for its summer ballet program. Barbara Sandonato spent five days last week working with talented young hopefuls for Ballet Theatre’s second summer intensive. Sandonato brought with her an approach and philosophy honed through decades of dancing as a principal with Philadelphia’s foremost professional ballet company. A lifelong dancer, Sandonato trained with the legendary George Balanchine in New York City until the formation of Pennsylvania Ballet in 1962. She then left New York and headed to Philadelphia to become the fledgling company’s first principal. “The idea for every major American city to have its own professional company came from Balanchine,” she said. Balanchine hoped to advance the development of ballet in America, and as an integral part of his mission, Sandonato has some very definite thoughts about the art.

In the United States, dance has no real central governing body. In fact, anyone, regardless of background, can open a dance studio. No one needs any special education, testing or certification. “You see a lot of these places everywhere,” she said, “and a lot of them are making a lot of money.” Serious dance training, however, requires instructors thoroughly versed in technique, methods, musicality and artistry. Students, of course, need to bring certain qualities to the classroom as well. “I tell them they have to give 200 percent,” Sandonato said, “in order to get 75 percent back.” This art form demands hard work, discipline, motivation and endless patience. Something drives the most serious dancers, according to Sandonato. She compares it to a flame inside the person. “It becomes a part of who you are,” she said. Some people have physical limitations that make the rigors of ballet nearly impossible. But Sandonato maintains that science has given dance much more information than ever before. She said that we now know about ways of stretching and strength-

teach artistry.” Sandonato said that she loves teaching and had only praise for PASCP’s ballet program. “It’s a wonderful studio,” she concluded, “they really try to provide what’s necessary. It’s not just about money here. They do it for the love of it.”

MANY OF Lanny Sommese’s works, like this poster from the 1999 Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts, will be on display at the Palmer Museum of Art through the end of the year.

Renowned chef to present ‘Lanny Sommese: Image lecture at Penn College Maker’ on display at Palmer Museum of Art WILLIAMSPORT — Chef Ben Vaughn, Food Network host and James Beard Award nominee, will offer a free public lecture on Thursday, Sept. 4, at Pennsylvania College of Technology. Vaughn’s talk, “Sustaining Your Career in a Changing Industry: How to Find Your Food Voice,” is part of the college’s William C. Butler Lecture Series. While presented from the point of view of a culinary professional, sustainability in one’s craft is an appropriate message for students and professionals in any field, explained chef Charles R. Niedermyer, instructor of baking and pastry arts/culinary arts. The lecture will take place at 6:30 p.m. in the Klump Academic Center Auditorium. Vaughn is an award-winning chef and popular TV personality best known as a host on the Food Network. He’s also the host of the World Food Championships and is a recurring judge on the FYI television series based on the event. Vaughn’s culinary career started in the best kitchens of south Florida and flour-

ished as the chef/owner of several trendsetting and critically acclaimed restaurants in Memphis, Tenn., and Atlanta. He’s gained recognition from the James Beard Foundation and resides in Atlanta, where he serves as CEO and culinary director for Root to Tail, a Georgia-based restaurant group. Vaughn is writing the book series “Southern Routes,” which explores his transplanted Southern roots through an edible journey highlighting some of the best-kept food secrets of the South. The book is set for publication in 2015. A regular contributor to the Las Vegas Sun, Huffington Post, Bar and Restaurant Magazine, The Shift Drink and The BRX, Vaughn is also a culinary adviser for National Food Day. The William C. Butler Lecture Series is a tribute to the man who served as Penn College’s dean of hospitality from 1994 until his death in December 2002. In addition to the evening presentation, Vaughn will spend the day with students in baking, pastry and culinary arts majors, visiting classes and providing demonstrations.

UNIVERSITY PARK — The eminent career of Lanny Sommese, the distinguished professor of graphic design at Penn State who retired this spring after 44 years of teaching within the College of Arts and Architecture, is being celebrated at the Palmer Museum of Art. Perhaps best known locally for his posters for the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts, which he has designed annually since 1974, Sommese is recognized worldwide as one of the leading voices in his field. In 1999, he was elected to the prestigious Alliance Graphique Internationale, an association based in Zurich that invites only the most accomplished and influential graphic designers into its ranks. “Lanny Sommese: Image Maker” will be on view at the museum through Sunday, Dec. 21. This exhibition will feature a selection of works Sommese produced during his tenure at Penn State, togeth-

er with numerous studies that helped to bring each to fruition. The title of the show reflects Sommese’s oft-expressed view that graphic design has less to do with personal expression than it does with the creation of images that respond to a multiplicity of external factors, such as the needs of the client and audience reaction. “Designing is not art-making,” Sommese has written. Designers, he reasons, “are concerned with getting results, like selling products, filling auditoriums, identifying companies and presenting information understandably.” Sommese will present a gallery talk at 12:10 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 19. The Palmer Museum of Art at Penn State is located on Curtin Road, University Park, and admission is free. Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Tuesdays through Saturdays, and noon to 4 p.m. on Sundays. The museum is closed Mondays and some holidays.

PSU reaches milestone in conversion to cleaner energy UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State continues its pursuit of greater sustainability with the conclusion of construction on the installation of 2.6 miles of pipe to increase natural gas service to the university’s West Campus Steam Plant. Conversion from its historic use of coal to natural gas will reduce the plant’s total emissions by nearly 50 percent and help meet the university’s goal of a 35 percent overall reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 (over a 2005 baseline). The conversion project includes a substantial renovation and upgrade of the historic West Campus Steam Plant, which was originally built in 1929. In addition to the pipeline installation, workers spent the summer removing equipment and reconfiguring the space to accommodate new gas-fired boilers. Three coal-fired boilers will be replaced by two new high-capacity, gas-fired boilers. These will be installed in phases, with the first on-line next winter to heat the University Park campus. The 75- and 66-year-old turbines in the West Campus Steam Plant will also be replaced. Both the WCSP and the East Campus Steam Plant, built in 1972, are part of a district energy system that produces steam distributed to more than 200 individual buildings via a network of 17 miles of underground piping. A combustion turbine at the ECSP and two back-pressure steam turbines at WCSP enable the system to generate electricity as well — a concept known as combined heat and power. Roughly 90 percent of power plants burn fuel, historically coal, to generate steam, some of which is used to spin an electrical generator turbine while the rest is vented as waste heat — resulting in only 33 percent operational efficiency. The electricity is then transmitted over long distances — resulting in notoriously heavy losses — via transmission lines for our use. The Lawrence Livermore National Labo-

ratory estimates that nearly two-thirds of the energy used to produce electricity in the United States is wasted before it even reaches a switch or outlet. Because the steam plants at University Park are located on campus, Penn State can capture the “waste heat” and use it locally at the same time it is generating electricity. In 2013, Penn State generated 65,908,586 kilowatt hours of its own electricity on campus. This avoided purchasing that power from the grid and the accompanying production of 45,181 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions — the equivalent of taking 9,512 passenger vehicles off the road or 6,215 homes off the electrical grid. In 2011, the campus steam system operated at 73 percent efficiency. When fully completed, Penn State’s combined heat and power system will operate at better than 80 percent — more than twice the efficiency of the industrial power grid. The on-site power generation capability provided by the both the steam plants also means that University Park is able to provide 100 percent of its critical emergency power should there be a loss in the supply of electricity from public utilities (such as as with Hurricane Sandy in the northeast in 2012). While the on-campus portion of the pipeline project has been completed, considerable work remains to be completed in Pleasant Gap and Snow Shoe before the gas line would be put into service. Future work at the West Campus Steam Plant will include demolition of the coal-necessitated smokestack and filtering baghouse. The conversion will eliminate the need for coal deliveries and heavy truck traffic and allow for the continued operation of the campus’s low-carbon combined heat and power system, while ensuring compliance with the Federal Environmental Protection Agency Industrial Boiler MACT law published in January 2013.

PATRICK MANSELL/Penn State University

CONTRACTORS DISCUSS and coordinate every step in the removal of 50-year-old boilers at Penn State’s power plant. The existing boilers are being taken out for the facility’s transition to natural gas. The power plant projects are only part of the university’s effort to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 35 percent by 2020. The reductions will continue to be anchored with conservation efforts but also supported by a recent hydropower purchase and supplemented with a mix of carefully targeted renewables. Public discussion about the university’s energy future and its strategies is ongoing. Penn State’s Sustainability Institute hosted an inaugural forum last fall and subsequently conducted a stakeholder case study — “Assessing Penn State’s Energy Future” — to examine the university’s internal long-range energy-related planning. A public meeting about the study and its report will take place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Wellness center continues to grow By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — The addition of Kalina’s Studio to Indigo Wren’s Nest Wellness Centre, located at 111 S. Spring St. in downtown Bellefonte, provides another opportunity for community members to embark on a journey of self discovery. The studio, which opened earlier this month, joins a host of holistic wellness practices that specialize in modalities such as aromatherapy, chiropractic care, hypnosis, psychotherapy, Reiki healing and yoga. “This has been a 10-year dream of mine,” said Kalina Rumbalski, the studio’s founder and namesake. “(I’ve always) wanted to open up an art and photography studio.” Last month, she said she saw an online ad for some office space and decided to go look at it. “The dream is now a reality. This goal of mine is just for like-minded people to share. “I just want to have a community center that’s creatively driven,” she said. “I’ve enjoyed art school because of the collaboration amongst other people and I miss that. I love working around a table and seeing what other people are working on. It helps sponsor creativity.” Since moving into the space, Rumbalski said it’s been wonderful. “This is a great building,” she said. “It’s just like a warm family here.” Being surrounded by massage therapists, hypnotists and other alternative healing practices provides the perfect “atmosphere to be creative in.” And the center has wholeheartedly welcomed the addition of Kalina’s Studio. “(Rumbalski) offers something that rounds out what other providers do by bringing in art,” said Beth Whitman, director of the center and owner of Inspired Holistic Wellness. Rumbalski currently offers a Monday night creative art class at 6 p.m. “We do journaling and painting,” she said. “Anyone can come. It’ll be a four-week (series), but anyone can come at anytime.” Each class is $20. “This is still very new to me,” Rumbalski said. Eventually, she said she’d like to offer more classes, like ones geared toward children and older adults. “I’ve been creative my entire life,” she said. “I want people to also be creative and learn about themselves.” Rumbalski said her background mostly lies in photography, painting and writing. Right now, she is developing Kalina’s Studio “one step at a time,” but someday hopes to be at her studio full time. In addition to her weekly Monday night class, Rumbalski also takes appointments at the studio. Whitman said that other spaces in Indigo Wren’s Nest

Paul Moser, Penn State’s superintendent of steam services, said that the conversion and plant upgrades are a critical part of the university’s greenhouse gas reduction plan. “The use of natural gas in our combined heat and power system is a highly efficient, low-carbon solution that is considered environmentally friendly by all major environmental groups including the Sierra Club, Greenpeace and the Natural Resources Defense Council,” said Moser. “We are going in the right direction in the present as we continue to explore alternatives for the future.” For additional information, visit www. sustainability.psu.edu.

Ribbon-cutting ceremony held STATE COLLEGE — A ribbon-cutting ceremony and grand re-opening of Rugrats Resale recently took place at Penn Skates, 2210 High Tech Road, with new owner Linda Myers. Rugrats Resale is a children’s consignment sale that takes place twice a year. Consignors price their items by using software provided by the company that allows them to create tags for the items they are selling. The consignors then bring the tagged items to Rugrats Resale, where volunteers sort them into sizes and categories. When the sale is over, volunteers once again sort the items so consignors may pick up their unsold goods. Consignors may also choose to donate unsold items to the “Mommy Shoppe,” a local nonprofit ministry that offers children’s clothing at garage-sale pricing. The spring and summer sale will take place in April 2015 at Penn Skates. “After being involved with Rugrats Resale as a shopper, volunteer and consignor for the past six years, I am thrilled to be the proud owner of this fantastic business,” Myers said. “I am introducing some new ideas that have already had positive feedback. Plus, I’m really looking forward to watching shoppers find great deals while knowing that my consignors are making money just from clearing out space in their homes. This is truly a community event that Centre County families look forward to each season. It is a winwin for shoppers and consigners.” “It was delightful to hear from Lydia again when she called us about purchasing this business,” said Linda Feltman, a business consultant for the Penn State Small Business Development Center who attended the ribbon cutting. “We worked with her on her first business and I am confident that her drive, energy and talent will take Rugrats Resale to a new level.” After graduating from Penn State with a degree in hotel, restaurant and institutional management, Myers launched Pick ‘em Up Productions in 2004, which is a local business that specializes in preserving memories by transferring reels and videos to DVD.
