Thompson cruises to re-election Wolf hands Corbett historic defeat in race for governor

By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

BOALSBURG —The Nov. 4 General Election brought a mixture of returning lawmakers and newcomers throughout Pennsylvania.

Rep. Glenn Thompson, the Republican incumbent in the 5th Congressional District, defeated Democratic challenger Kerith Strano Taylor. Thompson will serve his fourth consecutive term in the U.S. House through 2016. He won the majority of Centre County votes at about 56 percent.

At his victory rally at Mountain View Country Club in Boalsburg, Thompson called his win “tremendous” and “humbling.”

“We’ve got a lot of work to do as a nation,” he said. “There are a lot of issues that are both domestic and international that are facing this country, starting with jobs and continuing to fight to restore fiscal responsibility in this nation.”

During his next term, Thompson said he will continue to work on job creation and job training in Pennsylvania and increasing domestic production of natural gas.

Statewide, the office of Pennsylvania’s chief executive will change hands from Republican incumbent Gov. Tom Corbett to Democratic challenger Tom Wolf, who garnered about 57 percent of Centre County votes and won by a 55 percent margin overall.

This is the first time an incumbent has lost a gubernatorial race since 1970, when the state Legislature voted to allow the officeholder to serve two consecutive terms.

Thompson said he is “disappointed” that Corbett failed in his re-election bid, and he said he hopes Wolf continues to keep debt and taxation low.

Throughout his campaign, Wolf has promised to levy a severance tax on natural gas production on Marcellus shale, something Corbett has resisted.

As a member of the Natural Gas Caucus, Thompson said he would urge Wolf against that for fear of driving oil production companies out of rural Pennsylvania.

“If he wants oil and gas prices to go up where they aren’t affordable, he will accomplish that by putting a tax on this,” Thompson said. Companies who drill Marcellus shale can afford to relocate if drilling in Pennsylvania becomes too costly, he said.

There is evidence of this happening in the past, Thompson said, when, last year, some oil rigs north of Interstate 80 were transferred to Ohio to make more money.

In reaction to Republicans taking over the majority of seats in the U.S. House and Senate for President Barack Obama’s last two years in office, Thompson said that the person who will benefit the most from this is the president himself.

According to Thompson, current Senate majority leader Democrat Harry Reid has failed to forward 387 bills to Obama, of which 98 percent were bipartisan and 219 unanimous.

With a majority shift, he hopes Obama will get to see these bills.

“They’re good bills that ... we all agree will help Americans. As president, he should have the opportunity to at least consider signing those bills,” he said.

Strano Taylor could not be reached for comment by press time Wednesday.

SPRING MILLS — Plans to redevelop parts of General Potter Highway near Route 144 are underway. When completed, the improvements will reduce congestion and accidents on the busy road, which sees more than 10,000 vehicles daily.

The “Potters Mills Gap” project will take place in three phases and include the construction of a bridge at Sand Mountain Road for traffic to Route 144 and an extension of the four-lane highway.

The goal of the highway expansion project is to improve the overall safety and efficiency of vehicles traveling on Route 322,

according to Pennsylvania Department of Transportation District 2 executive Kevin Kline.

Bypasses on the newly constructed highway will allow for safer access to Route 144, Kline said. Currently, vehicles turn on and off of Route 144 directly onto the two-land highway, which can stop the flow of traffic.

The four-lane highway that currently ends at Decker Valley Road will also extend past Route 144 to Skyview Drive to further reduce congestion and traffic. PennDOT also estimates that about 13,000 vehicles travel through the “Potters Mills Gap” route daily.

HARRISBURG (AP) — Tom Wolf, the wealthy businessman and firsttime candidate who was just elected to govern one of the nation’s most populous states, will see his political instincts put to the test when he assumes Pennsylvania’s highest office in January.

The Democrat attracted nearly 55 percent of the vote in Tuesday’s election to deny Republican Gov. Tom Corbett a second term. He will inherit a $29 billion state budget that is balanced with more than $2 billion in transfers, accounting gimmicks and other one-time revenues — leaving a gap that is likely to compound the difficulty of negotiating the 2015-16 budget.

Wolf is expected to deliver his first budget in early March — only weeks after his inauguration, set for Jan. 20.

He also faces the challenge of working with a Legislature in which Republicans widened their majorities in both chambers in the election, a development that has serious implications not only for budget negotiations but for the confirmation of his Cabinet nominees.

In his victory speech Tuesday night, Wolf said he understands the gravity of his next job.

“I know that there is a heavy, fearsome responsibility on me, this is not just about the honor of getting votes, it’s about the necessity for doing things for Pennsylvania.”

During the campaign, Wolf promised to dramatically increase the state government’s share of public school costs, to overhaul the

income-tax system to shift more of the burden onto the wealthy and to impose a 5 percent extraction tax on natural gas drilling.

He also vowed to restore nearly $1 billion in public school funding that was cut from Corbett’s first budget in 2011.

The gubernatorial race set a campaign spending record in Pennsylvania of at least $73 million.

Wolf’s victory made Corbett the first governor to go down in defeat in the four decades since the state’s chief executive was allowed to run for a second term. The former twoterm state attorney general could not overcome a rocky first term that was plagued by low popularity ratings.

Democrats were united against Corbett, the only Republican incumbent in a slew of gubernatorial races to lose Tuesday, and his record as a fiscal and social conservative didn’t inspire many Republicans.

Wolf drove into his election night party at the Utz Arena in York in his now-famous Jeep Wrangler to the eruption of cheers from hundreds of supporters and thanked voters for giving him the opportunity and honor of being governor.

“Let’s make this the time, let’s make this the place, Pennsylvania, let’s us be the people to actually create this bright future we deserve,” Wolf told the crowd.

Corbett’s concession speech was at times somber and feisty, telling the crowd at a downtown Pittsburgh hotel that he took office determined to deliver on his 2010 campaign promises when he ran as a pro-business fiscal conservative.

“When I made those promises, I said I was going to do what is right for Pennsylvania, the tough decisions, and people may not like it,” Corbett told several hundred supporters. “Well, obviously they didn’t like it. I said I may be a one-term governor, and I am, but I am proud of what we did.”

Wolf, 65, from the tiny town of Mount Wolf, named after an ancestor, will become the 47th governor of Pennsylvania and the first since Richard Thornburgh in 1979 never to have held elective office.

He led his family’s cabinetry and building materials distribution business in central Pennsylvania for much of the past three decades, becoming a pillar of York’s business, civic and philanthropic community.

In contrast to his first race for governor in 2010, Corbett lost support across the board — among men, women and all age groups and income levels, according to the preliminary results of an exit poll conducted for the AP and the television networks.

Wolf got strong backing from voters under 50, with about 6 in 10 casting ballots for him.

Late in the campaign, Corbett found a focus for his attacks: Wolf’s proposal to restructure the income tax to shift a bigger burden onto higher earners and then raise it, potentially by several billion dollars, while simultaneously lowering the state’s hated school property tax.

Wolf struggled to explain who would pay more and who would pay less under his proposal, and Corbett made much hay over it, portraying it as a secret plan for a huge middleclass.

Foes of Paterno firing play role in Corbett’s failed re-election bid

By ANGELA COULOUMBIS The Philadelphia Inquirer

HARRISBURG — Call it the Paterno factor.

Throughout the day Tuesday, members of a group called Penn Staters for Responsible Stewardship donned PSU gear and went to the polls to vote against Gov. Tom Corbett. They did this not because they necessarily liked Tom Wolf any better — but out of protest.

Protest over Corbett’s handling, as attorney general, of the investigation into serial child sex abuser Jerry Sandusky.

Protest over how he dealt with Pennsylvania State University, and its legendary football coach, Joe Paterno, after he became governor and state prosecutors brought charges in the case.

“We have been waiting for this day for a long time,” said the group’s spokeswoman, Maribeth Roman Schmidt, adding: “I think the power of the Penn State vote will be obvious in this election.”

After voting, they snapped photos of themselves declaring their support for Wolf — and later drinking to “Corbett’s demise” — and posted them on social media.

“If you can’t stand voting for Wolf, just don’t vote for anyone for Governor. Or write in Dick Thornburgh,” posted Judy Engle Seely on the group’s Facebook page.

“A vote for Corbett is basically

twisting the knife in the backs of Penn Staters everywhere.”

Schmidt said the group believes Corbett, among other missteps, did not give Paterno the benefit of due process. As governor, Corbett was a member of the university’s board of trustees when it moved to fire Paterno in the days after Sandusky was charged.

Paterno, said Schmidt, “was a victim of a stampede to judgment and Tom Corbett was leading the charge.”

Many alumni believe that Paterno’s death was hastened by the stress of the scandal and his firing from the university.

Schmidt said her group also faults the governor for not speaking out against a report, commissioned by the university and conducted by former FBI director Louis Freeh, that was highly critical of how the school handled information it received about Sandusky’s abuse of children.

The report later became a factor in the NCAA’s determination of sanctions, and a flashpoint in the larger debate over whether the university has unfairly shouldered much of the blame in the Sandusky scandal.

In exit polling Tuesday, the Associated Press found nearly 60 percent of voters were not concerned over Corbett’s handling of the Sandusky scandal.

But the remaining voters, nearly

40 percent, considered the issue very important or somewhat important. Most of those voters said they chose Wolf.

In the days leading up to the election, the group — which also calls itself PS4RS and has about 40,000 members nationwide — used Facebook and Twitter to get its message out: Vote against Corbett. It posted past articles and uploaded video clips about Corbett’s handling of the case that continues to galvanize Pennsylvania.

For several years, political pundits had been predicting that the Penn State/Sandusky scandal would hurt Corbett in his reelection efforts.

A registered Republican, Schmidt said she voted solidly GOP Tuesday — except for Corbett.

Her vote, she said, was for Wolf, even though she said he has been largely silent about the Penn State scandal.

“There is a legitimate concern that Wolf hasn’t said a word about Penn State,” said Schmidt, “but we are so frustrated with the current makeup of the board (of trustees), and we are so frustrated in the way the governor didn’t act in the best interest of Penn State and in the best interest of children, that we are willing to withhold our judgment and hope for the best.”

about 6 (a.m.) Election Day. We get everything else out and set up the (ballot) scanner.”

The scanner, of course, is the modernized version of the ballot box. It reads the ballots and tabulates votes for each and every candidate.

Andrews explained that the scanner is not plugged in until morning. Once it’s plugged in, Election Day is ready to roll.

However, before the polls officially open, there’s one more order of business.

“We all take the loyalty oath,” she said.

“Then, at 7 o’clock, we’re ready.”

For Andrews, being the judge of elections is truly a labor of love. It gives her a sense of pride, she said.

“Oh yes, I’m doing my civic duty,” she said, “to help everyone.”

There were plenty of people in line to vote early in the day at The Oaks. Samuel Corrigan, of Pleasant Gap, was among the first 100 to cast a ballot.

Corrigan said he believes it’s extremely important to vote.

“I figure I can’t complain if I don’t vote,” he said with a laugh.

He said that he rarely misses Election Day.

“I always vote,” he said. “I might have missed a few when I was in the service, but I haven’t missed one for quite awhile.”

Also at the polls early were Jim and Jan Leslie, of Pleasant Gap. “It is a privilege,” Jim Leslie said. “We’ve been voting since we’ve been old enough to vote, which has been awhile. I don’t think we’ve missed many, fortunately.”

The Leslies are relatively new to Pleasant Gap. They were pleased with how smoothly the process ran.

“This is a great facility,” Jan Leslie said of The Oaks. “We moved here a year ago and everyone was so friendly today.”

The Oaks is a retirement facility, so that makes it extremely easy for residents there to cast their ballots.

Edith Hebel is a resident at The Oaks.

She was among the first to vote when the polls opened.

“I always vote. I feel it’s our responsibility to vote every time we have the opportunity,” Hebel said. “(Living here) makes it very convenient for us to vote. It’s very nice.”

When the dust settled, about 37 percent of registered voters made it to the polls on Election Day, according to the Centre County Office of Elections and Voter Registration.

Borough recognizes need for affordable housing

By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — The State College Borough council has worked to create more affordable housing in the borough during the past several years, but it recognizes there’s still work to be done.

Council members approved a report analyzing the biggest impediments to fair housing in State College at their meeting on Nov. 3.

While no widespread discrimination in housing based on factors like race or religion were found in the borough, the report says there is a desperate need for more affordable housing.

The report found that more than 60 percent of low- and moderate-income residents in rental housing spend more than half of their household income on rent. For low- or moderate-income homeowners, the numbers are even more striking, with more than 70 percent spending more than half of their income on housing costs.

“This makes it sound like this is a terribly impoverished community we live in,” council president Jim Rosenberger said. “How much of that statement is based on something like three-fourths of our community is students with low income?”

State College Borough community planner Lu Hoover, who helped prepare the report, admitted that the Penn State student population does skew these numbers. However, she said her office gets many requests from nonstudents and has helped find housing for more than 140 families in the borough.

Council member Peter Morris also noted that graduate students, who make up a fairly large portion of the student body, fit most of the description for the working poor: they often have families, work for a small income and need housing.

“Maybe the situation is skewed a little bit, but not as much as people might think,” Morris said.

Council member Theresa Lafer said that the borough “has made real strides” in creating more affordable housing through the Centre County Affordable Housing Coalition, but that the need still exists.

The report will be submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which helps fund several housing and community development programs in the borough.

Council also heard updates from the numerous commission and boards that work with borough staff.

Eric Boeldt, chairman of the Historic Resources Commission, told council that the commission is working to encourage more homeowners and commercial property owners to apply for historic buildings plaques. The commission will also look into expanding the age range of buildings eligible for historic preservation.

Boeldt also recommended that the council look into forming a historical architecture review board, noting that Bellefonte and other Pennsylvanian municipalities have such a board. Council member Catherine Dauler said she would support exploring this possibility.

Planning Commission chairman Michael Roeckel said the commission has been working toward a comprehensive zoning update for the borough.

He said the rewrite wouldn’t radically rezone the borough, but would update numerous inconsistencies across zoning areas. The commission will also meet with neighboring municipalities to ensure zoning consistency across borders.

Sally Lenker, of the Redevelopment Authority, said her organization has finished planning the homestead investment program, which has been presented to council. This program allows the borough to purchase and later sell properties with the goal of diversifying neighborhoods and encouraging owner-occupied housing.

The authority is also working on a new project that will support small businesses and entrepreneurship in the borough through matching funds and grants. Lenker said this project is still developing, but will ultimately work with area business owners and economic development agencies to continue to strengthen the State College economy.

Paul Rito, of the Transportation Commission, said increasing bicyclist safety through improved and more connected paths remains a focus of the commission. The commission will also work with the State College Area School District to offer feedback on the traffic impact of the district’s high school project, which includes new proposed traffic lights.

Several council members — including Peter Morris and Catherine Dauler — expressed interest in expanding Beaver and College avenues into two-way streets. State College Public Works director Mark Whitfield said this would have to be a very long-term, intensive project involving extensive coordination with the state Department of Transportation.

Grant will help county’s needy stay warm this winter

By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — For a family already struggling to pay their bills, the added cost of heating a home in the winter might not be a possibility.

There are several programs in the county to assist lowto moderate-income households with this issue, but the recent approval of a grant will further help county residents.

The Centre County board of commissioners approved a commitment letter acknowledging and accepting the award of grant funds for $33,250 from the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency for the Centre County PA Housing Affordability and Rehabilitation Enhancement’s Heating Assistance and Support Program.

The commissioners approved a motion to provide up to $50,000 in support of the grant in August, and Linda Marshall, a senior planner in the county’s Planning and Community Development Office, said that the county’s application was approved on Oct. 9. These funds will come from the Act 137 Housing Trust, which can be used for grant application matches.

The program will provide heating assistance to low-income families in any of the 11 townships or two boroughs of the county’s Marcellus Shale drilling region that express a need for such service.

Total grant funds available to residents of this region will be $83,250, which Marshall said should help between 100 and 150 households.

Interfaith Human Services will be the distributor of the grant. Last year, 56 percent of households that received heating assistance through the group’s Centre County Fuel Bank program were in the Marcellus Shale drilling region in Centre County, according to Ruth Donahue, executive director of Interfaith Human Services. Through the program, 224 households received a total of $86,903 in home heating services.

“We anticipate that PHARE funds will be very beneficial to not only the residents in that particular area, but also in helping extend the resources of the fuel bank and fill some of the gaps that are often in place for families who don’t qualify,” Donahue said.

In order to receive home heating assistance, households must contact Interfaith Human Services and complete an application process.

Centre County received the PHARE grant in 2012 and 2013 for rental assistance. Funds from PHARE for all three grant years totals to about $250,000, according to Marshall.

The commissioners also authorized the intent for the Planning and Community Development Office to submit a grant request to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Natural Gas Energy Development

Program seeking 50 percent of costs to convert 19 vehicles to compressed natural gas.

The planning office has partnered with the Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority and Centre County Area Transport Authority for the project and grant application.

The project is anticipated to cost $779,097, with the state providing $370,346, the county up to $55,000, CCRRA providing $151,191 and CATA providing $202,560, according to Susan Hannegan, assistant director of the Planning and Community Development Office.

Of the 19 vehicles planned to be converted to CNG, the county’s Office of Transportation will own four, CCRRA will own five and CATA will own 10.

The county has already converted 31 vehicles to CNG, Hannegan said. This grant will bring the county’s total to date to 50.

“The ones that we have on the road currently are doing very well. We’re having minimal problems,” said Dave Lomison, director of the county’s Office of Transportation. “I can’t say enough about the savings.”

Lomison also said that the more vehicles the county can convert to CNG now, the less expensive it will be to do in the future.

A fueling site for CNG vehicles is currently being constructed at Dale Summit in State College. It is expected to open next spring, according to Lomison.

Woman receives prison sentence in infant-abuse case

By StateCollege.com staff STATE COLLEGE — A State College woman has been sentenced to up to 20 years in prison for abusing a 5-month-old infant.

In September, Jalene McClure, 40, was found guilty of felony aggravated assault, as well as misdemeanor simple assault and endangering the welfare of children, according to the Centre County District Attorney’s office. These charges stemmed from a 2010 incident in which the infant sufJALENE McCLURE fered life-threatening injuries while under McClure’s care as babysitter.

When the victim’s mother arrived at McClure’s house — the site of her babysitting business — after work on Aug. 18, 2010, she discovered her daughter was already strapped into her car seat and looked unusually pale. According to a news release from the district attorney’s office, McClure told the mother her daughter was sick and had vomited twice during the day. Though McClure had a policy requiring sick children to be picked up, she had not called the mother. She reportedly told the mother to “stop acting like a first-time mom.”

On the drive home, the mother pulled over when the infant vomited again. She discovered the car seat had been hiding a large bump on the child’s head, according to a news release. The infant was unresponsive and drifting in and out of consciousness. The mother rushed the baby to the emergency room.

When a doctor told the child’s parents their daughter was suffering from life-threatening injuries, they called McClure demanding to know what happened. McClure said nothing had happened to the infant. The victim was air-lifted to Danville for emergency treatment. Doctors discovered the infant had a skull fracture, brain cell damage and severe internal hemorrhaging.

The child recovered from her injuries, but continues to see a developmental therapist to determine what impact those injuries may have on her development.

Doctors were able to determine that the injuries were inflicted during the time the infant was in McClure’s care.

Police and the Children and Youth Services Bureau began an investigation that night, at which point McClure continued to say nothing had happened. Several days later she told police that she had tripped and fallen, injuring the in-

McClure will serve 10 to 20 years in a state correctional institute.

“Infants have no voice or defense against such cruelty,” District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller said in the news release. “Fortunately, the highly skilled doctors who treated this baby were able to read her injuries and speak the truth for her.”

Construction, from page 1 That number jumps to about 20,000 during Penn State home football game weekends.

A groundbreaking ceremony for phase one of the project took place on Oct. 29 near the Potters Mills V.F.W. The entire project is expected cost an estimated $142 million and is funded through the state’s new transportation plan.

Through Act 89, funds collected from changes in the gas tax and increases in license and registration fees allowed Pennsylvania to generate about $331 million from Jan. 1 to June 30 for statewide transportation projects. An estimated $2.3 billion will be generated by the 2017-18 fiscal year, according to PennDOT. During the first phase of the project, an overhead bridge at Sand Mountain Road will be constructed to connect the current Route 322 to Route 144, which leads northwest to Centre Hall and Bellefonte. This will reduce the halting of traffic on 322 and accidents caused due to merging, according to Steven Fantechi, a District 2 design services engineer.

Karen Michael, assistant district executive of design, said that once the intersection at Route 144 is removed and a bypass is put in, the number of conflicts there will decrease. Phase one of the project was bid out for about $2 million.

The second phase of the project is expected to cost about $5 million, according

to Michael. This portion will begin in fall 2015 and include the construction of bypasses to access Sand Mountain Road to get to Route 144.

Phase three of the highway expansion project will be the most costly and take up the remainder of the budget, she said. During this process, which is expected to begin fall 2016, expansion of the four-lane highway from Decker Valley Road past Route 144 to Skyview Drive will take place. The new highway will go through contributing agricultural land, according to PennDOT plans.

Expansion of the four-lane highway will not only reduce the number of accidents caused by the narrow roads, but will cut down on the amount of maintenance the roadway needs, Kline said.

The project is expected to be completed by the mid-2016.

Michael said that while planning the project, community involvement was solicited through public meetings and a public hearing. She also said that PennDOT has been providing information to residents of Potter Township via their newsletter, in addition to working with the county’s Metropolitan Planning Organization.

The MPO, she said, has added the “Potters Mills Gap” project to its Long Range Transportation Plan and Transportation Improvement Plan.

PLANS ARE PROGRESSING to develop the area of General Potter Highway near Route 144. When completed, the project is expected to reduce congestion and accidents on the busy road.

Several sexual assaults reported over the weekend

By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — Police received reports of five sexual assaults and one indecent assault over the Oct. 31-Nov. 2 weekend. Five of these incidents were reported to State College Police, while one alleged sexual assault took place on campus and was reported to Penn State University Police and Public Safety Office.

“That’s not necessarily a high number of reports, but only because when you think about the total number of assaults that likely happen every weekend, these are just a small part of that,” Jennifer Pencek of the Center for Women Students said. “No matter what the numbers are, the stat to keep in mind is that 90 to 95 percent of sexual assaults go unreported.”

Penn State police sent out a warning to students after receiving a report that a female student was sexually assaulted Nov. 1 between 1 a.m. and 2:30 a.m. Police say the victim was reportedly pulled into a restroom in Johnston Commons in East Halls by a male she had just met. The assailant reportedly attempted to force her into sexual acts.

University police are investigating the incident.

State College police received two reports of sexual as-

sault from the Mount Nittany Medical Center on Nov. 1. In one, a female victim came to the hospital and reported she had been assaulted by an unknown male.

Police were notified of this incident at approximately 10 a.m.

Police say a second woman reported a possible assault to hospital staff. She reportedly requested a test to determine if she had been drugged or assaulted after losing consciousness for several hours, police say.

Police received a report at about 2:15 a.m. on Nov. 1 from a woman who contacted them, saying she had been assaulted by an unknown man. Police also received a report at about 1:45 a.m. on Nov. 2 from a woman who had been sexually assaulted. She ultimately decided not to pursue the matter with an investigation, State College police said.

Mount Nittany Medical Center notified police that on Oct. 31 a woman had come into the hospital to report an assault from Sept. 27. Police received this report at about 9:30 a.m. on Nov. 1.

State College police could not release further details about these incidents.

Pencek said while there’s nothing positive about sexual assault it can be a good sign to see more victims coming

forward. Many factors — including social stigma, unwarranted self-blame and fear — often prevent victims of sexual assault from reporting the crime. The fact that so many victims came forward over one weekend may indicate a greater awareness of the resources available for sexual assault victims, Pencek said.

Those resources include counseling and advocacy services through the Penn State’s Center for Women Students, as well as through the university’s Counseling and Psychological Services Office. The Centre County Women’s Resource Center also offers counseling and advocacy for assault victims.

Pencek said sexual assault is an issue in all communities, but that college communities like Penn State may often see higher-than-average rates of assault. Students who are away from home for the first time and lack a support network are sexually taken advantage of all too often, she said. Alcohol also often factors into these assaults.

“Parents need to talk their children about these issues, especially before they come to college, so they know about these issues, they know what consent looks like and they can talk about this openly,” Pencek said. “Sexual assault can become a silent epidemic if people are afraid to talk about it.”

Weather, from page 1 However, Accuweather senior meteorologist Bob Smerbeck said that the weak El Nino could bring some storms and high precipitation. He also said that jet streams, atmospheric fast-flowing narrow air currents, could bring colder air into the east, which could cause temperatures to be below normal.

Last year, temperatures from December through February were about 3 degrees below average, Smerbeck said,

ACCORDING TO EXPERTS at AccuWeather, Centre County residents can expect plenty of precipitation this winter.

adding that Accuweather data shows a similar trend for this year.

Even though the area could see some extra snowfall this year, it will likely be less than last year, according to Smerbeck. About 52 inches of snow was recorded at University Park Airport last year. The average is 40 inches, and it is predicted that the area will get about 46 inches this winter, he said.

Even if temperatures are below normal and precipita-

tion is above normal, Smerbeck said winter won’t be as severe as last year, but advises people to be ready with proper equipment for their cars and homes.

To determine what upcoming seasons will bring, Tyburski said meteorologists and forecasters look at previous weather patterns.

While it’s helpful to look ahead, he said a clear reading won’t be available until about eight to 14 days out from a specific date.

Hillary Clinton’s accidental insight

By The Orange County Register When a politician commits a gaffe on the campaign trail, it’s usually an excuse for the news media to fire up the outrage machine. Every once in a while, however, a gaffe comes along that lets the truth out — however unintentionally.

Instead of another exercise in mockery and vitriol, it’s a teachable moment.

That’s what recently happened to Hillary Clinton.

Stumping for gubernatorial candidate Martha Coakley, Clinton let slip the kind of comment that can launch a thousand ships of criticism. “Don’t let anybody tell you that, you know, it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs,” she said.

Not long after, Clinton walked it back, of course. “Our economy grows when businesses and entrepreneurs create good-paying jobs here in an America,” she explained, “where workers and families are empowered to build from the bottom up and the middle out — not when we hand out tax breaks for corporations that outsource jobs or stash their profits overseas.”

Still, Republicans like Jeb Bush pounced on her original remark.

Her poor phrasing accidentally revealed an important insight.

As Harold Meyerson observed at the Washington Post, some of the biggest businesses Clinton slammed are among America’s biggest banks — banks run by some of Clinton’s most reliable backers.

Yet there’s something about her criticism that’s even more important than the hypocrisy that fact implies. When big corporations with close government ties fail to boost broad-based economic growth, including job growth, it’s not really because Republicans have lightened their tax burden. A more significant factor is the way those corporations can game the regulatory system and benefit from political patronage.

Inside the bubble of cronyism, profits can be generated in a manner that the free market hardly gets to access.

Verizon Wireless crosses the line on privacy By the Los Angeles Times (MCT)

Verizon Wireless, the country’s most popular mobile phone operator, has been quietly inserting into its customers’ Web-browsing sessions an identifier unique to each device they use, making it possible for websites and advertising networks to build profiles of individual customers based on their browsing habits.

What’s worse, even if Verizon’s subscribers happen to find out about this and ask the company to stop, it won’t.

Rather than inviting the rest of the Internet to violate its customers’ privacy, Verizon should find a more respectful way to generate advertising dollars.

Ordinarily, Web-browsing apps reveal little about the people using them.

The typical website tries to pierce the anonymity by planting a unique identifier called a cookie on each visitor’s

computer or smartphone, storing information about what the visitor does while on that site. So do online advertising networks, which can use the cookies to track what individuals do on all the sites that carry their ads. If that’s a troubling prospect, you can set your browser to erase cookies or prevent them from being stored on your machine.

Verizon Wireless, however, has flipped the process on its head. It inserts a unique code into the information that each device transmits through Verizon’s wireless network as it browses the Web. The company then uses the code to sell demographic information (but not names or personal profiles) about that customer to advertisers so they can make their pitches more relevant to that person.

Meanwhile, those sites and associated ad networks can collect and use the code to build a profile of a user

And then it does happen. A single decision leads to a series of events and the horrors of a child who goes missing.

Like the movie “The Truman Show,” the reality behind the Utopian façade of the college town is a bit more threatening.

In truth, this is a safe community.

In truth, there are also people who will recognize when someone is vulnerable and therefore easier prey.

My mantra to the students in my classes and to my own children as they reached college age was this: If you are going out tonight, remember three things. Don’t take an open drink from anyone. Don’t ever walk home alone. Don’t let your friends end up like Natalie Holloway.

They look at me and smile. The overreacting rantings of an out-oftouch mom and an old-fashioned faculty adviser. This is State College.

What can possibly happen to me here?

In most instances, probably nothing. Go to parties. Have fun at college.

Meet new people. Let your sense of comfort in this small town guide you to try new things and to expand your learning. Embrace all that we offer.

But just be smart about it.

Just as we lock our cars or our houses and put away our jewelry or our money to make it more difficult for someone to take, we can do the same in protecting ourselves.

The first involves not drinking to the point of losing the ability to problem solve. The second is living by the rule that there is greater safety in numbers. Last, those “stranger danger” warnings that we learned in pre-school extend to college and well after.

I heard a State College police officer say that statistically a student walking home alone at night is less at risk in State College than the drunk girl in a fraternity basement.

Most likely, a student walking home alone at night will probably not meet a monster like the person who took the life of sweet Hannah Graham. But like so many things in life, that one time, that one decision, that one left or right turn or that one encounter can be forever life changing.

All it takes is once.

even if he or she is blocking cookies.

Verizon says it changes the codes regularly to guard against permanent profiles, but that’s not much of a concession to its customers’ privacy rights. To stop the company from selling information gleaned about them, its customers have to opt out of a program they didn’t sign up for in the first place. And even opting out doesn’t stop the company from inserting the identifier into their Web browsing.

AT&T is exploring a similar technique, although it pledges to change the code daily and let users stop it from inserting the code at all. Verizon should do at least that much. Ideally, though, Verizon and other Internet providers wouldn’t plant identifiers in their customers’ data without their explicit consent in advance. If Verizon doesn’t see the problem with its actions here, the Federal Trade Commission should enlighten it.

PSUers obtain first image of gene-regulation enzyme UNIVERSITY PARK — A landmark study published in the Oct. 30 print edition of Nature provides new insight into the function of an enzyme related to the BRCA1 breast cancer protein.

The study by a team at Penn State University is the first to produce a detailed working image of an enzyme in the Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 — a group that regulates cell development and is associated with many types of cancer.

Enzymes like PRC1 turn on or turn off the activity of genes in a cell by manipulating individual chromosome units called nucleosomes. “The nucleosome is a key target of the enzymes that conduct genetic processes critical for life,� said Song Tan, professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at Penn State and the leader of the study’s research team.

The Penn State scientists obtained the first crystal structure of a gene regulation enzyme while it is working on a nucleosome. The image reveals previously unknown information about how the enzyme attaches to its nucleosome target.

Before this study, scientists had been unable to picture exactly how cancer-related enzymes in the PRC1 group interacted with a nucleosome to control gene activity. The study also is the first to determine the crystal structure of a multisubunit protein complex bound to a nucleosome, which itself is a complex assembly of DNA and four histone proteins.

The research is the culmination of more than 12 years of

research by the Tan laboratory to capture an image of this important class of enzymes bound to the nucleosome. His lab earlier had determined the first structure of another nucleosome-bound protein, RCC1. “This is the second important structure from the Tan lab to date of a nucleosome in complex with a protein known to interact with and modify chromatin behavior, which in turn can influence human gene expression,� said Peter Preusch of the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of General Medical Sciences, which partially funded the research. “Along with Dr. Tan’s previous work detailing a nucleosome bound to the key regulatory protein, RCC1, this new structure adds to our knowledge of how proteins can regulate the structure and function of our genetic material.�

The research project was proposed and executed by team member Robert K. McGinty, a Damon Runyon postdoctoral fellow at Penn State. McGinty and Ryan C. Henrici, an undergraduate in the Penn State Schreyer Honors College, grew crystals of the PRC1 enzyme bound to the nucleosome. The team then solved the 3-D structure of this large molecular assembly by X-ray crystallography. “We are excited about this crystal structure because it provides new paradigms for understanding how chromatin enzymes function,� McGinty said.

The study performed in the Penn State Center for Eukaryotic Gene Regulation provides unexpected insight into the workings of the BRCA1 breast-cancer-associated tumor-suppressor protein. Like PRC1, BRCA1 is a chromatin

enzyme that shares a similar activity on the nucleosome.

According to Tan, “Our study suggests that BRCA1 and PRC1 employ a similar mechanism to anchor to the nucleosome.� Tan and his team now are working to visualize how BRCA1 and other disease-related chromatin enzymes interact with the nucleosome.

This research was supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health, the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation and Penn State University.

Red Cross encourages blood donation STATE COLLEGE — The American Red Cross encourages donors to make a blood donation before the holiday season.

Blood donations often decline between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day as people become busy with holiday festivities. Donors are needed in the weeks leading up to the winter holidays to help prevent these seasonal declines. Donors of all blood types, and especially those with types O-negative, A-negative and B-negative, are needed now to help maintain a stable blood supply.

Blood donation appointments can be made through the Red Cross Blood Donor App — a faster, more convenient way to schedule and manage donation appointments, especially for donors on the go. The app also allows users to track donation histories, earn rewards and invite others to join them on a lifesaving team. The app is free and available for download in App Store or Google Play.

Donors may also visit www.redcrossblood.org or call (800) RED-CROSS (733-2767) to learn more about the donation process and to make an appointment.

To make an appointment for platelet donation sites located in Altoona, Beaver, Greensburg, Johnstown and State College, call (800) 542-5663, extensions 622633, 622637 or 622657. Platelet donations are available by appointment only.

Clinic addresses health needs of maltreated children

HERSHEY — A new clinic in Harrisburg will serve as the medical home for children in out-of-home care, providing primary care as well as evidence-based mental and behavioral health services. A dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony was held this morning to celebrate the opening of the James M. and Margaret V. Stine Foundation TLC Clinic, a service of the Penn State Hershey Center for the Protection of Children. “TLC” stands for “Transforming the Lives of Children.”

The Stine Foundation TLC Clinic, which is located on the second floor of the Rose Garden Building at 2626 N. Third St., will provide comprehensive primary care services including medical evaluations and ongoing care coordination, as well as mental health services for children who have experienced abuse or neglect.

“We know from extensive evidence that early childhood trauma is associated with adverse mental health, developmental and physical outcomes,” said Dr. Lori Frasier, division chief of child abuse pediatrics at Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital. “Children who suffer abuse have special health care needs, due in part to the stress and trauma they have experienced.”

There is a gaping need for specialized care for victims of child abuse in south central Pennsylvania, which the Stine Foundation TLC Clinic will seek to meet. Services will include treatment for children with post-traumatic stress, depression or anxiety resulting from sexual abuse, physical abuse and/or neglect, as well as comprehensive primary care for abused and at-risk children in out-of-home care.

“For years, experts at Penn State Hershey have been working to provide specialized care and advocacy for children who have been victims of abuse. Today we take that commitment to a new level with the opening of the Stine Foundation TLC Clinic,” said Dr. A. Craig Hillemeier, chief

executive officer of Penn State Hershey Medical Center and Health System. “Here, children who have suffered trauma will be able to get the coordinated care they need to heal and to restore hope for the future.”

The Stine Foundation TLC Clinic will operate Mondays

through Fridays, by appointment. Outpatient assessment for children thought to have been abused will continue to be provided across the street at the Children’s Resource Center. The center, at 2645 N. Third St., has a close relationship with the TLC Clinic and its providers.

DANVILLE — All four Geisinger Health System birthing hospitals recently started screening newborns for severe combined immunodeficiency.

Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, Geisinger-Bloomsburg Hospital, Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, Wilkes-Barre and Geisinger-Lewistown Hospital are all now required to screen newborns for SCID. Often referred to as the “bubble boy disease,” SCID is a primary immune deficiency that usually results in one or more serious infections within the first few months of life. Such infections include pneumonia, meningitis or bloodstream infections, as well as live viruses in standard immunizations such as chickenpox, measles or rotavirus.

“Unfortunately, only about 60 percent of Pennsylvania hospitals are currently testing newborns for SCID, which can be potentially fatal in newborn children,” said Dr. Shibani Kanungo, a pediatric metabolic geneticist for Geisinger Health System. “But thanks to our chairman, Dr. Michael Ryan, and Geisinger’s Janet Weis Children’s Hospital’s continued focus on high-quality newborn care, Geisinger is making this screening a priority to help keep our youngest patients safe and healthy. While SCID screening is part of the recommended follow-up after birth, incorporating the testing into the supplemental screening done on newborns gives us the opportunity to catch this dangerous condition before it is too late.”

When discovered early, SCID can be treated with curative bone marrow transplantation, which is a dramatic improvement from the “bubbles” some children were subjected to several decades ago.

In 2010, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began to recommend SCID newborn screening, despite the fact that many states and hospitals do not require the test at birth.

The CDC estimates that 40 to 100 newborns are afflicted with SCID each year in the United States.

CPI named to 2015 Military Friendly Schools list PLEASANT GAP — The Central Pennsylvania Institute of Science and Technology recently announced that it has been designated as a 2015 Military Friendly School by Victory Media, a leader in successfully connecting the military and civilian worlds.

The Military Friendly Schools designation is awarded to the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools in the country that are doing the most to embrace military students and to dedicate resources to ensure their success in the classroom and after graduation.

The methodology used for making the Military Friendly Schools list has changed the student veteran landscape to one much more transparent, and has played

a significant role over the past six years in capturing and advancing best practices to support military students across the country.

“We are very pleased to once again earn the Military Friendly designation,” said Todd Taylor, CPI’s director of adult and post-secondary education. “Military students largely possess the work-ready characteristics and skill sets valued by employers. With our mix of high demand, technical training options, CPI can be a great fit for our veterans looking to re-enter the local workforce.”

The survey captures more than 50 leading practices in supporting military students and is available free of charge to the more than 8,000 schools approved for post-9/11 GI Bill funding.

As in past years, the 2015 Military Friendly Schools results were independently tested by Ernst and Young LLP based upon the weightings and methodology developed by Victory Media with input by its independent academic advisory board.

Now in its sixth year, the Military Friendly Schools designation and list by Victory Media is the premier, trusted resource for post-military success. Military Friendly provides service members transparent, data-driven ratings about postmilitary education and career opportunities.

For more information about CPI’s commitment to attracting and supporting military students, call CPI adult education at (814) 280-4217.

GAZETTE THE CENTRE COUNTY

LOCK HAVEN — James E. Whaley III, a 1984 alumnus of Lock Haven University, and his family have established the Whaley Family Scholarship.

This endowed scholarship is for a Lock Haven University student-athlete participating in track and field and/or cross-country. The recipient should be considered a leader by the team, and will be awarded by gender, alternating annually.

A Hyde Park, N.Y., native, Whaley came to Lock Haven University because it had everything he hoped for in a university: a great track team, the right size, right distance from home and a wonderful academic reputation. During his collegiate career, he was involved in Lamda Chi Alpha, the Eagle Eye, ROTC and track.

After graduating in 1984, Whaley dedicated 20 years to the military and traveling a path of ever-changing career opportunities, always staying connected with his alma mater. He was inducted into the ROTC Hall of Fame in 2004, and in 2010 he was the commencement speaker at Lock Haven graducation ceremonies.

Whaley previously was director of communications for the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and senior vice president of communications and marketing with Siemens.

He currently is the vice president of corporate communications and sustainability for Sealed Air. And throughout his career, he has warmheartedly remembered where he got his start — at Lock Haven University.

“Lock Haven University is a fine institution that we are honored to support with this scholarship,” said Whaley.

“We believe athletics is a venue for developing grit. Our communities need more leaders with courage, resolve and strength of character. We are happy to play a small role in strengthening future leaders.”

Aaron Russell, head men’s and women’s cross-country/ track and field coach, expressed his gratefulness for the Whaley Family Scholarship. “We are excited to receive this extraordinary donation from the Whaley family. It is a special way to give back to the university, and we are honored they have chosen to recognize the leaders and future leaders of the cross-country/track and field programs in this way.” Russell noted that the endowment will have a tremendous impact on the lives of LHU student-athletes for years to come. “Gifts such as this strengthen the foundation of our programs and ensure that future generations will be able to benefit from an athletics experience at the collegiate level.”

Whaley and his wife, Jill, reside in New Jersey and have three children, Amelia, Eleanor and Madeline.

Simpson’s gift expands liberal arts scholarships UNIVERSITY PARK — The transformational gift of Penn State alumnus James Simpson will lift up generations of talented and hardworking undergraduate and graduate students in the College of the Liberal Arts.

When fully funded, his gift of nearly $5 million for scholarships will support more than 40 students each year with awards of $5,000 each.

“Jim was a dedicated supporter of the college for many years, and we were very sad to lose him over a year ago,” said Susan Welch, the Susan Welch Dean of the College of the Liberal Arts. “However, his generosity will continue to elevate the lives of our students for decades to come.

The college has students at all levels of financial need, particularly in the middle, the ones who typically would fall through the cracks. Jim’s scholarship will provide crucial support as they complete their degrees.”

The Simpson-Marcher-Petersen Scholarships will be among the university’s larg-

est in terms of dollar amount and number of student recipients.

The new scholarship also allows the college to support undergraduate or graduate students, providing flexibility in a given year.

Simpson graduated from Penn State JAMES SIMPSON in 1949 with a bachelor’s degree in recreation from the predecessor of today’s College of Health and Human Development.

As a student, he had the honor of giving a campus tour to President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

In 1951, Simpson joined RCA Corporation in the human resources department and spent 23 years serving in several executive positions. In 1975, he decided to pursue commercial real estate and investment ventures. He also established a venture

BACK TO THE 80S

capitalist partnership with several associates, funding a number of small business start-ups and serving as a consultant to several of these companies during their early development stage.

“Jim always appreciated his Penn State education and experiences,” said Charlie Greer, trustee of the Simpson estate and a close family friend. “He was concerned about the future of our youth, and he enjoyed supporting young people who need opportunities and mentoring in their formative years.”

Greer noted that Simpson grew up in the Depression with several brothers, and his family experienced economic hardships. He also supported The Boys and Girls Clubs of America, which provide programs and services to promote the wellbeing of at-risk youth.

Earlier, Simpson created the initial Simpson-Marcher-Petersen Scholarship for students with financial need and a director’s fund in the Paterno Fellows Program. He also supported the Rock Ethics

Institute and a graduate endowment. In 2009, the college bestowed the Sparks Centennial Medalist Award upon him during its centennial celebration. The award recognizes friends of the college who have provided significant leadership through their involvement and support of the college’s programs.

Private gifts from alumni and friends enrich the experiences of students both in and out of the classroom; expand the research and teaching capacity of faculty; enhance the university’s ability to recruit and retain top students and faculty; and help to ensure that students from every economic background have access to a Penn State education.

Penn State’s third and most ambitious university-wide fundraising campaign, For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students, concluded on June, 30 with a total of $2.188 billion. The university’s colleges and campuses are now enlisting the support of alumni and friends to advance a range of unit-specific initiatives.

As a clarinetist, Schroeder studied with Kai-yun Lu and Danby Cho within the School of Music at Boston University and performed under the guidance of conductors David Martins of the University of Massachusetts Lowell, and H. Robert Reynolds of the University of Southern California.

As an additional highlight, Schro-

eder was selected to perform as the featured soloist for Frank Ticheli’s “Blue Shades” in the final concert performance of the season.

Penns Valley celebrates Halloween with many events

By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — Citizens of Penns Valley celebrated Halloween with several fun-filled community events on Oct. 31.

Beginning at 1 p.m., costumeclad students and teachers at the Centre Hall-Potter Elementary School left the building for their annual parade through the streets of Centre Hall.

The parade route took the students north on Hoffer Avenue, east on Church Street, south on the sidewalk along Pennsylvania Avenue, west on Ridge Street, and then back to the school.

The students’ costumes covered a wide range of styles, running the gamut from cute to creepy. Witches, vampires, princesses and superheroes were seen on the streets. Princess Elsa from the movie “Frozen” was a very popular costume for girls, with about a dozen examples on parade.

One especially clever costume was worn by sisters AnnMarie and Sophie Lapean and their friend Kayla Hopkins, who dressed as the “Three Blind Mice.” Dressed in gray mouse outfits and wearing dark glasses, they carried white canes, which they tapped on the pavement ahead of them. The girls drew applause and positive comments from spectators all along the route.

The students were soliciting donations for the Penns Valley HOPE Fund charity instead of the ususal trick-or-treat candy.

Citizens and merchants along the parade route responded with coins and bills to help the local charity.

Plenty of laughter and chatter

accompanied the procession, as the children and spectators enjoyed a great fall tradition.

Costumed students at Miles Township Elementary School in Rebersburg held their parade at the same time, leaving the school on Town Lane, following the sidewalks on Main Street east, then crossing the street and walking westward.

Residents along the route responded by handing out sweet treats for the children to enjoy.

At 6 p.m., the streets of Centre Hall were packed with trick-ortreaters, many stopping at the “Trunk or Treat” held in the parking lot of Grace United Methodist Church.

Trunk or Treat is a Halloween event, often church or community-sponsored, where people gather and park their cars in a parking lot. They open their trunks or tailgates, decorate them and then pass out treats from the backs of their vehicles.

The event provides a safe, familyfriendly environment for trickor-treaters.

The Centre Hall event, sponsored by the Centre Hall Council of Churches, featured hot dogs, potato chips, and other foods on tables, staffed by church members and members of the Centre Hall Fire Company. The fire company also supplied polemounted floodlights and traffic control for the safety of everyone present.

Meanwhile, at the Brementown Ballroom in Millheim, trickor-treaters were getting their pictures taken by Kurt Grotz and, at 8 p.m., the joint was jumpin’ during the second annual WSOV Halloween Ball, which was a fundraising event for the low-power FM radio station being estab-

WSOV spokesperson Lisa Marshall said the station still needs about $12,000, mostly for transmitting equipment, to get on the airwaves. She noted that the Millheim Fire Company is donating the use of a tower on the fire hall for the station’s transmitter. Mar-

shall has been busy processing government grant applications in an effort to secure some of the funding needed.

The Halloween Ball featured a room full of adults and children in costumes dancing the night away to recorded tunes such as the themes from “The Munsters,”

“The Twilight Zone” and “The X-Files,” as well as the perennial Halloween favorite, 1962’s “Monster Mash” by Bobby “Boris” Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers.

Marshall said that Grotz’s photos of trick-or-treaters will be posted on the radio station’s website at www.wsov.org.

‘Aaronsburg Story’ highlights museum’s history dinner

By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — A group of 85 people enjoyed a delicious meal and a slide-show presentation during the Penns Valley Area Historical Museum history dinner held on Oct. 23 at the New Hope Lutheran Church, west of Spring Mills.

After welcoming remarks from Penns Valley Museum board president Harry Ward, guests enjoyed a dinner prepared and served by members of the New Hope Lutheran Church. Following the meal, local historian Vonnie Henninger gave a slide show presentation on “The Aaronsburg Story”, which was a pageant and celebration held exactly 65 years prior on Oct. 23, 1949.

The story began with Aaron Levy, the founder of Aaronsburg. Levy was a JewishDutch immigrant born in Amsterdam in 1742 who immigrated to America in 1760.

He was a Revolutionary War patriot — a member of the Northumberland Militia — and in 1783, the commonwealth of Pennsylvania gave Levy 334 acres of land in Penns Valley in payment for his service during the war. In 1786, he laid out the plans for the village of Aaronsburg, making it the oldest town in Centre County.

An example of Levy’s fellowship and religious tolerance occurred in November 1789, when he donated land to the Salem Lutheran congregation to build a church, a school and a cemetery. In 1799, Levy presented the church with a pewter communion set. When a lightning strike caused a fire that destroyed the church in 1958, the set was rescued from the burning building.

The church was rebuilt on its original site and still stands today. The pewter communion set was on display at the history dinner.

In the spring of 1949, Salem Lutheran Church pastor James Shannon was dismayed by newspaper headlines speaking of mob rule, lynchings and Ku Klux Klan activities in America. “It’s about time

somebody did something about it,” he said to his wife. Shannon and a committee of citizens began planning a celebration of Levy’s inspirational acts of ethnic and religious tolerance from 150 years before.

“The Aaronsburg Story” was a spectacular event in Penns Valley. It was presented by the National Conference of Christians and Jews, the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, several religious groups, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania State College (now Penn State University), Centre County public schools, granges and veterans’ organizations.

It featured addresses by many dignitaries, including United Nations diplomat Ralph Bunche, Pennsylvania Gov. James H. Duff and Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter. Actor Cornel Wilde narrated the pageant, which re-enacted Levy’s deeds of generosity to the Lutheran congregation and illustrated his ideals of tolerance. Bands from the four high schools in the Penns Valley area were present, as was the Penn State Blue Band. The site was an open field east of the Salem church.

“The Aaronsburg Story” received national attention before it occurred, and the event drew a crowd estimated at 30,000 people to the tiny village, clogging the streets with traffic and filling nearby farmers’ fields with parked cars.

The pageant featured nearly 1,000 participants. Penn State employees trucked in and installed bleachers for the spectators. A sound system was installed for the guest speakers to be heard. A first aid tent was set up with Centre County nurse Mary Slagle in charge.

The Bell Telephone Company installed a temporary telephone on the grounds for the event. State police and local fire companies were on hand for emergencies and traffic control.

The event was remarkably well organized and proceeded without a hitch. Even the weather cooperated, with that day in October 1949 being an unseasonably warm, sunny day that was preceded and

Guy Rudy, who attended the history dinner, remembers that warm day well. He was in the Centre Hall High School Band.

“We had those orange and black uniforms, and they were heavy. We were sitting up there on the hillside with the sun shining on us, and it got very warm,” said Rudy. “A couple kids did pass out.”

Several others in the room shared personal memories of “The Aaronsburg Story”. Esther Stover played the part of Indian Princess Susquehanna.

“I was in the first segment, and I had to go to work at Dot and Bill’s (a restaurant in Millheim) because I was a waitress out there. My dad said ‘I’m not driving you out there, there’s too many cars in this town,’ so I had to walk out. I worked the rest of the day, and the tips were really good,” Stover said. “And by the way, I shook hands with Cornel Wilde.”

Stover wasn’t the only one walking that day. Ruth Rudy walked from Millheim to Aaronsburg with her three older sisters because of the traffic. “I remember we sat on a blanket on the ground,” she said.

Kurt Grotz, who recently moved to Aaronsburg, asked the group if they felt “The Aaronsburg Story” had a lasting impact on religious and ethnic tolerance in the valley.

Several people responded, agreeing that there was never a problem with intolerance in Penns Valley. Henninger noted that Shannon once said: “I don’t feel any of that, and I don’t think anybody in this town feels any of that.”

Museum board president Harry Ward pointed out that “The Aaronsburg Story” wasn’t just about Penns Valley.

“It was about what was happening in the world,” he said. “Maybe we need another ‘Aaronsburg Story’ with all the things going on in today’s world.”

Centre Inspires winner, award recipients announced STATE COLLEGE — More than 170 people attended Centre Foundation’s 2014 annual dinner on Oct. 17, at which annual awards were distributed and the winner of Centre Inspires, the inaugural $100,000 grant program, was announced.

“Our board voted to distribute this grant to the proposal that found an innovative way to bring diverse groups of the community together — different segments of people from all over Centre County — to collaborate, create and enjoy art that is representative of the community in which we live,” said Molly Kunkel, executive director at Centre Foundation. “The grant proposal entitled ‘Book Benches of Centre County’ was put forward by the Child Development and Family Council and SPE Federal Credit Union; we are excited to see this idea come to life in the coming months.”

“The collaboration aspect of Centre Inspires was truly an enjoyable experience,” said Ann Walker, executive administrator at the CDFC. “Everyone going through this process — all 39 of us submitting original proposals — met to discuss partnerships, countywide ideas, brainstorm together, and make connections that can otherwise be challenging to make on a day-to-day basis behind your desk.”

The $100,000 grant from Centre Foundation will start the project off with 25 fiber-glass benches in the shape of an open book. Similar in idea to Harrisburg’s “Cow Parade” or other animal-themed, large-scale sculptures in various cities, these benches will be the first of their kind in the United States. Benches will be placed throughout the county.

Local artist Elody Gyekis will help oversee the countywide project. After a bench decoration theme is chosen by its respective community, an easy-to-follow paint-bynumbers process will allow anyone in the community to help bring the bench to life. Afterward, the benches will be sealed and installed, and are expected to last at least 25 years.

“We had a lot of fun envisioning where these benches might end up around the county and how their respective areas will choose to decorate them,” said Sue Swain of SPEFCU. “It’s easy to picture families enjoying a bench at Cold Stream Dam in Philipsburg, or a trout-patterned one placed on the bank of Penn’s Creek, or someone reading a book on one in Talleyrand Park,” said Christa Hosterman of SPEFCU. Next year, Centre Inspires will focus on health and human services. The granting program will operate on a six-year cycle and rotate through all of Centre Foundation’s interest areas, which also include environmental conservation and awareness and education and life-long

Several award recipients were also announced at the dinner.

Donald Strickler received the Centre Foundation’s Oak Tree Award for his unmatched commitment to the foundation. As an avid bridge player, he constructed a building for his bridge club to use. Later, he donated the building to the foundation. After renovations were completed earlier this year, Centre Foundation moved into the spacious location at 1377 Ridge Master Drive in State College.

Centre County PAWS received the Kathryn S. Weaver Award. The award is named for an early supporter of the

CC

foundation and is given out to a local organization that is making an impact in the county. PAWS takes in animals, provides needed veterinarian services, and places the animals with foster and forever homes.

Meagan Tuttle received the Future of the Foundation Award, which is given to next-generation leaders in the community. As a planner at the State College Borough, she brings a daily passion to her work and is empowering neighborhoods to think communally, encouraging businesses to think outside the box, and engaging in new transportation thinking that will help prepare the community for the future.

PENN STATE VS. INDIANA n TIME: NOON

n

TV: BIG TEN NETWORK

In the midst of a fourgame losing skid, Nittany Lions visit Bloomington

By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH UNIVERSITY PARK — The Penn State offensive woes continued against Maryland on a cold and blustery first day of November in Beaver Stadium.

This is what things look like when a team can’t run the ball.

The Nittany Lions ran for only a net of 42 yards against the Terrapins, with predictable results. Christian Hackenberg was sacked five more times (30 this season), and PSU faced numerous third-and-longs throughout the day and, in fact, converted only six of 20 of those.

Throw in three lost fumbles (one on a kickoff that led to a touchdown), an interception and a short field for one of the best kickers in the country in the final minutes, and it all combined to produce the close, 20-19 loss the Lions suffered.

Now Penn State, thin and somewhat depleted, has to pack up and try to break its four-game losing streak on Saturday, Nov. 8, at Indiana.

A look at last year’s game at Indiana may be instructive. Indiana played inspired defense all day, especially against the run, but Penn State managed to take its first lead of the game early in the third quarter, 14-13.

But the Penn State running game never did get on track (70 yards for the game), and the defense couldn’t come through with the big stops that the Lions needed.

Instead of a PSU rally, it was Indiana — sparked by a 44-yard touchdown sprint

by Tevin Coleman — that put up 31 unanswered points and capped its first-ever win against Penn State by a score of 44-24.

After Coleman’s score, the Hoosiers scored three touchdowns in a matter of just more than 12 minutes — one on a 2-yard run by dual-threat quarterback Tre Robertson, the next after an acrobatic 36yard catch of a Nate Sudfeld pass by Kofi Hughes, and finally, another run by Robertson, this time from 9 yards out. The last two touchdowns came 12 seconds apart.

One year later for the 3-5 Hoosiers, Robertson is gone, Hughes is gone and Sudfeld is out with a separated shoulder.

The stout Indiana run defense remains, however, and gives up just 170 yards per game on the ground.

And the inspiration will be there as well, as the Hoosiers look to win their first Big 10 game, after four losses, at home against another struggling team.

Coleman is also back, and he is having a monster season. Coleman has run 162 times for 1,316 yards and 16 touchdowns, and he averages 162.5 yards per game.

He recorded his 10th straight 100-yard game rushing game against Michigan, the longest streak in the nation and the 12th overall in his career, with 108 yards on 27 carries.

The junior’s streak is the longest in program history. He is also tied for sixth in Hoosier history with 24 career touchdowns.

At quarterback, freshman Zander Diamont took over for Sudfeld and in two games he has completed 10 of 23 passes for 35 yards. Michigan held him to six completions and just 24 yards.

“Mechanically, he’s good,” Indiana head coach Kevin Wilson said about Diamont. “He’s got to get bigger, stronger but again as far as if we’re throwing the go ball, if we’re throwing the post, he’s got the arm strength to do some stuff.

“When he gets hyper and doesn’t set his feet, his rhythm gets out and no one is good, and that’s kinda where he is right now. In practice he’s looked good, but that’s practice, you can throw like that forever. He’s got to take that into the game environment. We’ll see if we can keep getting him there, because we’re going to have to throw a lot better Saturday.”

Indiana’s high point this season was a big win at Missouri, 31-27, on Sept. 20, but since then the Hoosiers have lost four straight Big Ten games, including last week’s 34-10 loss to Michigan.

On Saturday, Indiana will be hoping for

PENN STATE running back Akeel Lynch will need to have a big game against the Hoosiers if the Nittany Lions want to snap their four-game losing skid.

a repeat of last season’s game, but Wilson is wary of Hackenberg and the Lion defense.

“Penn State this week,” he said, “Coming in, they’ve lost a few, but like our opponent last week they’ve lost to good teams. They’re 4-4. Coach Franklin has always done a great job through his career, not just as a head coach but as an assistant, so a lot of respect for he and their coaches, in their first year.

“Hackenberg at quarterback, one of the better players in our conference, going to throw the ball quite a bit. Their running game, one of their backs, a good player got injured a week ago. They do some things at wildcat, they do some stuff to get the run game going, but they do some stuff that starts with the quarterback and getting the ball down field to some young receivers that are very, very good.

“Strength in their team is a very, very strong defense, I think first in our league, sixth or seventh in the country in rush D, 77 yards a game. Very good in scoring defense, less than half the time, people getting touchdowns in the scoring zone.

“So an outstanding defense that does a great job in run D and every game very, very close, very manageable. Took Ohio State to overtime a few weeks ago, so the games they’ve lost have been close games and it starts because they play great defense.”

As for Penn State, coach James Franklin and his players will be looking for the ball to take a few favorable bounces, but there’s no doubt that the Lions have to build some semblance of a running game and play better on special teams, especially the punt unit. And the Lions can’t afford another four turnovers against Indiana.

If Penn State can force Indiana into a one-dimensional offense and stack up on Coleman, Indiana will find it difficult to score.

So the Penn State offense will be in the spotlight again against another good defensive front.

Kickoff is set for noon.

As losses mount, so does frustration

By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The unfortunate truth of Penn State football’s rebuilding process is the fact it will last longer than a single collegiate career.

Players will come and go and not see the program reach the heights it once had. Maybe a few big wins, even a winning season, but the places James Franklin wants to take the program won’t be traveled to by the players currently on the roster. They’re just here to get things back to square one. Fair or not, it’s reality.

And while fans might be able to see the big picture, it’s a frustrating life to live as a player. Especially with so many losses seemingly only a few plays from victory.

“I really can’t explain it. It hurts,” said quarterback Christian Hackenberg following Penn State’s fourth straight loss. “You want to dig guys out of it and you want to do it for everyone else, so that’s what I’m going to continue to try to do. I’m going to try and get these guys rallied and get us rolling and get us focused on Indiana.”

That’s the challenge, staying focused. Staying in a zone where you believe that things can be turned around.

There is a very real threat though — the reality that Penn State may not get better this season, not for lack of trying or coaching, but simply because this collection of

players can only do so much.

What makes it even harder to watch is seeing the Nittany Lion defense succeed at such a high level.

It makes the “what ifs” so much more tangible, as one side of the ball plays so well while the other struggles so much. It’s a rarity to see a team with such a wide gap between two units.

“The frustration is on the offensive side of the ball. We just have to go out there and play to the best of our capabilities every single week, every single game and every single play,” said receiver DaeSean Hamilton. “When we go out there and we don’t do that, it’s frustrating for everybody on the team.

“The most frustrating thing is seeing our defense playing their hearts out and us (the offense) not being able to return the favor for them. We’re one of the best defenses in the nation right now. Us going out there and laying eggs on some drives — it’s one of the most frustrating things you can go through as a player.”

Penn State will have to find a way to manage the growing frustrations, even on defense where things have been nothing short of spectacular. Finding the motivation to go out and give that kind of effort every game, even when a struggling offense hitting the field is the result of a defensive stop.

The Nittany Lions have been so close to figuring it all

FOUR CONSECUTIVE LOSSES are starting to take a toll on the Nittany Lion football team.

out for much of the season.

They may never get over the hump, but they only need to find a way to win two more games and turn a long season of frustration into the program’s first post season since 2011.

The good, the bad and the ugly UNIVERSITY PARK — It was another rough afternoon at Beaver Stadium for the Penn State football team as it dropped its fourth consecutive game.

The Nittany Lions just can’t seem to get over the hump in their quest for win No. 5.

They lost on Nov. 1 to an upstart Maryland squad, 20-19. A field goal in the final minute of play led to the Lions’ demise.

There was plenty of good, bad and ugly to go around. Here’s the breakdown: ■ The good — The defense.

Once again, the Penn State defense did an admirable job.

Maryland was just one of 14 on third down and struggled all afternoon.

The Terps had fewer than 200 yards in total offense. However, in the end, it didn’t matter. Good effort by the defense, but not good enough, we guess.

■ The bad — The handshake.

OK, so Maryland refused to

shake hands during the coin flip.

So what? Is it a sign of disrespect?

Absolutely.

The Lions should have used that as motivation to beat the Terps into submission. Instead, they let them hang around all afternoon and it came back to bite them.

Hard to believe the handshake was the main storyline on such an ugly afternoon of play.

■ The ugly — The Penn State offense. Once again, quarterback Christian Hackenberg struggled to get the Lions moving.

He had just one TD pass — an 8-yard strike to tight end Jesse James.

Hack needs to get his head on straight during the final four games so the Lions can go bowling.

There are plenty of winnable games on the schedule, but the window is closing quickly.

THE PENN STATE defense held Maryland to under 200 yards in total offense, but couldn’t shut the Terps down at the end of the game, when it counted in a 20-19 loss.

Even in loss, Ficken continues to be valuable asset

By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Sam Ficken’s story isn’t new.

His misses against Virginia are as much a part of his legend as his game winning kicks. His redemption story has been dragged out from the closet each time he make a crucial field goal.

He is a living reminder that one game doesn’t have to define a career.

But in a season where consistency has been Penn State’s biggest issue, Ficken has joined the Nittany Lion defense as one of two lone constants. Get him on the field and get him within 50 yards and he’ll get you three points.

And that consistency almost won Penn State the game on Nov. 1. Ficken made kicks from 25, 46, 47 and, what could have been the game winning kick, 48 yards out. If not for Ficken, Penn State’s offensive showing would have only seemed worse.

Where Ficken had began his career rooting for the offense to score, it was now the offense’s turn to go out and hope Ficken could turn a futile drive into something worth the time and effort.

“In my mind, every kick is important,” Ficken said. “So that’s how I approach it out there. That comes from experience, so being able to relax out there makes it easier. Obviously, it builds a lot of character (to go through struggles) and it made me focus on my fundamentals. But to go through that experience and seeing the ups and downs it makes everything easier.”

When Ficken was named a team captain and a member of Penn State’s leadership council, the news was met with relative ambivalence. Special teams players are rarely appreciated the same as a star quarterback or line-

backer, and they in many ways deal with only a small corner of the world.

For Ficken, though, that corner of the world is something he can control, somewhere he can take a leadership stance and help to improve.

Even as a kicker, Ficken has worked with the punters both on the physical and metal aspects of the game. And like any position no matter how big or small, that takes dedication and hard work.

Having made all but two field goals this season (both blocked), Ficken has turned his attention toward a struggling punter corps. Hoping to share his experience of the ups and downs and help them find the same steady foot that he has.

“Basically, what I did was put my head down, work, grind,” Ficken said.

“And that’s what I told (the punters) — to keep a positive attitude — and they’ve put in a ton of work over the past few weeks and really embraced that.

“They actually went over film with (Chicago Bears kicker and Penn State alumnus) Robbie Gould this past week. They can and they want to get better. I think they did a little bit better today and it’s a step in the right direction. They’re not happy with how they’ve done this season and they’d be the first to tell you that. They want to help the team. That’s their mindset, that’s their focus, to help the team.

So I just tell them to keep a positive attitude.”

That kind of thing is what Penn State needs this season, ownership of improvement and getting better each and every week. For a team that is struggling to keep focus and find direction, Ficken doesn’t sound like “just a kicker.”

He sounds like a leader.

KICKER SAM FICKEN has been one of the bright spots for the 2014 Nittany Lions.

Handing out the grades: Maryland

write home about.

But part of the improvement process that Penn State continues to take part in will rely on self scouting, evaluation and improvement across the board.

So, with that in mind, here are the grades for Penn State following Game 8 of the 2014 season.

StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — It’s probably safe to assume that most Penn State fans won’t want to think too long and hard about the Nittany Lions’ 20-19 loss to Maryland on Nov. 1.

A cold, windy day coupled with a poor offensive performance and a last minute loss — the fourth in a row for Penn State — doesn’t leave much for fans to

OFFENSE: C-

its of a normal offense. That being said, Penn State’s receivers dropped passes that they shouldn’t have and struggled to string together positive plays. Unforced errors hurt the Nittany Lions’ chances in the second half. Akeel Lynch was fairly serviceable at running back, but his 51 yards on 21 carries isn’t all that flattering despite a few good runs. Geno Lewis’ long thirddown conversion catch was a positive, but Penn State was limited in any long passing attacks down the field in which to give Maryland reason to fear the deep ball. Just 219 yards of offense and a six-for-20 third down conversion rate is disappointing — even if we’re giving Penn State some level of reasonable doubt.

STOP BY OR CALL FOR PRICING! S857224

Penn State’s defense was once again a reason to give fans hope that the Nittany Lions could pull off the win. Penn State almost did just that, too, thanks to forcing three turnovers and holding Maryland to only one third-down conversion all game.

Three of Maryland’s four scoring drives started on Penn State’s side of the field,

which gave an otherwise stellar defense very little room to work with. Holding Maryland to 196 yards is also hard to find fault with. Freshman safety Marcus Allen had double-digit tackle numbers (11) for his second straight game and registered one of Penn State’s six sacks. Deion Barnes continued his strong season with two more sacks to bring his total up to six on the year.

SPECIAL TEAMS: C

This is a tough one because it’s hard to have a unit be a large part of the reason why Penn State could have won — and also why it lost — at the same time. Sam Ficken had maybe the best game of his career with a 4-for-4 performance that included kicks from 46, 47 and 48 yards. On the flip side, the punting situation did not improve at all with Daniel Pasquariello taking over with a 36.8 yard average, although he did manage a kick of 47 yards. Overall, though, Penn State wasn’t a threat in the return game and poor punts hurt the field position battle, including the final and eventual game winning drive by Maryland.

BELLEFONTE’S AUSTIN JACKSON looks for running room during the Oct. 31 game with Bald Eagle Area at Rogers Stadium. Jackson rushed for a pair of touchdowns in the Red Raiders’ victory.

Mission Accomplished

Bellefonte thumps BEA to capture Curtin Bowl; wins all three county matchups

By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — The Oct. 31 game between Bald Eagle Area and Bellefonte was a big one.

Both teams entered the contest with identical 2-7 records. A victory would not only deliver the Curtin Bowl trophy, but give the winning squad some positive momentum heading into 2015.

The Red Raiders wanted it, so they went out and took it.

In a smashmouth game so typical of the rivalry, the Red Raiders took care of business. When the dust settled at Rogers Stadium, the Red Raiders had a 28-7 victory on Senior Night.

The win meant that the Red Raiders won the county. Their three wins were over BEA, Penns Valley and Philipsburg-Osceola. According to head coach Shanon Manning, that was a goal at the start of the season.

“I just can’t tell you how big it is to win the county games,” Manning said. “To get Philipsburg and Penns Valley and Bald Eagle, that’s big. That was team goal No. 1 for us all year — to win Centre County.

That’s what we started with and it’s huge.”

The win pushed the Red Raiders to 3-7.

BEA closed its campaign at 2-8.

After returning the opening kickoff for a score, the Eagles watched as Bellefonte put up 28 unanswered points.

It was another frustrating loss for BEA coach Ron Hoover.

“It didn’t go the way we wanted it to go,” Hoover said of the season. “Hopefully, we can get that changed around and get back on track again in the offseason.”

The way things started, it didn’t look like Bellefonte would accomplish its preseason goal of winning the county. BEA’s Mitchell Struble returned the opening kickoff 90 yards to give the Eagles a 7-0 lead just seconds into the game.

Bellefonte was able to muster little offense in the first half and it went to the locker room trailing by a touchdown.

But the second half belonged to the Red Raiders.

The Red Raiders took the second half kickoff and went 62 yards on seven running plays. Junior Austin Jackson — back from a concussion — was the workhorse during the drive. He scored the game-tying

TD on a 39-yard run with 8:12 to go in the third quarter.

Matt Feldman’s PAT tied the game at 7-7.

The game remained tied until the fourth quarter.

BEA was driving when it lost the handle on the ball and Bellefonte’s Isaiah Hahn recovered. Following the turnover, the Red Raiders went 81 yards in six plays to take the lead. Junior Nick Jabco — who rushed for 121 yards on eight carries on the night — did most of the damage on the drive. He had rushes of 19 and 47 yards.

But it was Jackson who gave the Red Raiders the lead for good with a 5-yard TD run. Feldman hit the PAT to make it 14-7.

According to Manning, getting the turnover was big.

“That was real big. They’re down here, they’re getting ready to go into score and the defense made a big play. The defense made big play after big play tonight. They did an awesome job, they really did,” Manning said.

On Bellefonte’s next drive, it went 51 yards before hitting paydirt. With the ball at the 1-yard line, quarterback Mark Arm-

strong was able to push the pile forward for the score. Feldman banked the PAT off the upright and the Red Raiders held a 20-7 edge.

But the Bellefonte defense came up big again as the Red Raiders salted the game away.

With 3:27 left in the game, Bellefonte’s Tyler Kreger picked off a pass and went 32 yards for the score. The Red Raiders got the two-point conversion and a scrum broke out in the end zone, resulting in several unsportsmanlike conduct penalties on the Eagles.

“It’s a product of the rivalry,” Manning said of the extracurricular activities after the whistle. “It’s not something we’re proud of, it’s not something that we stand for. Let’s be honest, you’re six miles apart.

It happens.”

The Red Raiders finished 2-2 down the stretch. Manning is hopeful that it’s something the Red Raiders can build on next season.

“I think it’s a huge jump. As non-competitive as we were last year, to get to three wins is big,” Manning said. “I think these kids have come a long way.”

Bald Eagle captures District 6 Class AA volleyball title

By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

ALTOONA — With its back to the wall in set five of the District 6 Class AA girls’ volleyball championship against Penn Cambria on Nov. 1, Bald Eagle Area had no need to go to a Plan B. The Eagles stuck with Plan A, and they went back to it time and time again.

Plan A was senior outside hitter Tylor Yarrison, and Yarrison more than rose to the occasion. She led the Eagles to a whiteknuckle, 15-11 fifth-set win and to their

first-ever District 6 volleyball championship.

Yarrison fittingly ended the match with her 20th save of the day, finally putting away a very game Penn Cambria team, 2025, 25-15, 25-21, 23-25, 15-11.

“I was so excited,” Yarrison said. “I can’t believe we won. This is the first time the school has ever won, and I can’t believe we were the team to do it. And I couldn’t believe I scored the last point. That was huge.”

Which team would score that last point was in doubt the entire match.

Penn Cambria scored six of the final eight points in the first set to take a 1-0 lead with a 25-20 win.

BEA righted itself with wins in sets two and three. In the second set, outside hitter Vee Skripek and middle Chelsea Eisenhuth had consecutive kills to wrap up a 25-18 win and tie the match.

In set three, BEA pulled away from a 15-all tie and a Yarrison spike put the cap on a 25-21 win. The Eagles were now one set away from the championship, but Penn Cambria was not about to go away that easily.

The Panthers built leads as much as seven points in the fourth set and then had to fight off a furious BEA rally down the stretch.

The Eagles finally pulled even at 23, but Penn Cambria secured the final two points for a 25-23 win and forced a winner-takeall fifth set.

“Eliminate errors,” Yarrison said. “That was our big thing (going into set five). We let them hang around because we had so many errors in all four of the sets. We just Bald Eagle, Page 25

PENN STATE kicker Sam Ficken was selected as the Big Tenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Special Teams Player of the Week for the second time this season for his performance against Maryland.

Ficken selected as Special Teams Player of the Week

By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Penn State senior place-kicker Sam Ficken was selected the conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Special Teams Player of the Week for the second time this season and the fourth time in his career.

His four career selections are tied for fifth place in Big Ten annals, with Nebraskaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brett Maher (2011-12) the most recent kicker to earn at least four career weekly honors. Ficken also was selected one of the three Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stars of the Weekâ&#x20AC;? for the second time this season. A co-captain, Ficken connected on all four of his field goals, with three coming from beyond 45 yards.

The performance was particularly historic by Penn State standards as Ficken became the first Penn State kicker since at least 1982 to make three field goals of 45 yards or longer in a game when he connected on 46-, 47- and 48-yard attempts vs. Maryland, in addition to a 25-yard attempt.

He is the first Penn State placekicker to make three 40-plus-yard field goals in a game since Collin Wagner had three against Youngstown State in 2011 (44, 48 and 49 yards). Ficken is third in the Football Bowl Subdivision in field goals made per game (17, 2.13 pg) and 10th in field goal accuracy at 89.5 percent (17 of 19). He leads the Big Ten in field goals made, is second in field goal accuracy, third in kick scoring (8.5 ppg, 68 points) and sixth in conference overall scoring.

Ficken is leading the Nittany Lions in scoring for a third consecutive year, having scored 68 points on 17 of 19 field goals and 17 of 17 PAT attempts.

In addition to his season accolades, Ficken passed Brett Conway on the list of career makes at Penn State. Fickenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 13 points vs. Maryland moved him into sixth place on the Penn State career scoring list with 239 points. He passed Curtis Enis and Robbie Gould on Saturday.

State High clinches improbable playoff berth with win

By MATT ALLIBONE StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — With a shot at making the playoffs on the line, the State College High football team finally put it all together on Oct. 31.

After four straight weeks of self-inflicted miscues took them from 3-2 to 3-6, the Little Lions could do no wrong against Mifflin County, dominating the Huskies in a 47-12 victory that clinched a playoff berth.

“Finally, the ball bounced our way in a lot of ways,” State College head coach Matt Lintal said. “Our kids really prepared well for this game, physically, mentally and emotionally. You go through a slump and they never gave up.”

In a first quarter that lasted nearly an hour, every button Lintal pushed seemed to work as the Lions raced out to a 28-0 lead that swelled to 47-6 by halftime.

A week after sitting out the team’s 13-0 loss to Cumberland Valley with a sprained ankle, halfback Jordan Misher returned to the lineup and made an instantaneous impact.

Simply put, the Huskies’ defense had no answer for the junior tailback, who ran for three touchdowns and threw for another in the first half.

“Jordan is such a dynamic athlete and team leader,” Lintal said. “He makes plays even when there aren’t plays to be made and makes guys miss.”

Misher got the ball rolling on State College’s first two drives, finishing off a long drive with a 6-yard run and then hitting Drew Flanagan with a 29-yard touchdown strike on a halfback pass that completely fooled Mifflin County. “(Throwing a touchdown) was awesome,” Misher said.

“It’s what I was hoping for and what I got.

“My teammates were so supportive (when I got hurt) and we all came together and got a good win.”

From that point, the ball just continued to bounce the Little Lions way. The Huskies next drive ended when a botched snap on a punt gave State College great field position and led to an 8-yard touchdown run by quarterback John Weakland and a 21-0 lead.

Even with a three-score lead, Lintal kept the trickery coming by ordering a surprise onside kick that defensive back Brandon Clark recovered. A few plays later, Weakland connected with receiver Tristan Damon for a 40-yard score and an astonishing 28-0 lead after one quarter.

“It was one of those mentalities, once we got the momentum, we wanted to keep it going,” Lintal said. “We were comfortable making those play calls. When our defense can go out and make stops we feel we can take some additional chances.”

Mifflin County’s offense finally showed a bit of spark with a long touchdown drive that ended with an 8-yard run by quarterback Brice Christian to make it 28-6 after a missed extra point.

There would be no comeback however, as the Little Lions scored three more times in the second quarter on an 18-yard run by Misher, a 33-yard gallop by Charlie Riley and one final plunge from Misher from 4 yards out before halftime mercifully came with State College up by 41 points.

The second half featured much less action, as the clock ran continuously with the Lions up by more than 35 points.

Mifflin County running back Dan Miller scored the half’s only touchdown against the Lions’ second string defense to make the final score 47-12.

The Little Lions’ playoff game will be against districtleading DuBois.

“Our kids continue to believe in what we’re doing,” Lintal said. “We’re hoping this takes us into the playoffs with a good strong victory.”

THE BALD EAGLE Area High School girls’ volleyball squad captured its first-ever District 6 title on Saturday with a thrilling 3-2 win over Penn Cambria.

Bald Eagle, from page 23 needed to stay calm and play our best volleyball.”

And don’t forget to feed the ball to Yarrison.

The teams came out trading points until Eisenhuth broke an 8-8 tie with two kills that, along with a PC carry, made the score 11-8. From here, Yarrison took over.

After a BEA error, a Yarrison kill and a block into the net

by Penn Cambria’s Casey Lee (on a Yarrison kill attempt) made it 13-9.

The Panthers came back with two, including a kill by Lee, to make it 13-11, but a kill by Yarrison put BEA on the brink at 14-11. And another kill by Yarrison, the final one, gave the Eagles the title.

“We were fighting butterflies,” Yarrison said. “We were trying to tell each other to stay calm and play volleyball.

We play every day; we know how to play. And that’s what

we were telling each other.

“They told me that they were going to keep setting, and our setter, Jess Bressler, was saying, ‘Stay hot, I’m coming back to you, I’m coming back to you.’ I said, ‘OK, I’ll do my best,’ and that’s what I tried to do.”

The BEA win set off a wild celebration, with players, fans and parents all taking in the Eagles first District 6 title.

The team will now enter the PIAA state championships against a team yet to be determined.

For the Eagles, Yarrison led the team with 20 kills and 46 digs, with Hannah Park following with 16 kills and Skripek with 15. Eisenhuth had seven blocks, and Bressler finished with 50 assists.

“Finally, our seniors figured out that there would be no big sister to bail them out,” BEA coach Larry Campbell said, “and that they were going to have to do it themselves.

I couldn’t be more proud of them than I am now.”

Nittany Lion wrestling squad readies for season UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State wrestling held its annual media day mid-week, which is crummy timing for Gazette readers since we had already gone to press.

Don’t worry, we’ll have a full recap in this space next week. Until then, let’s go over some of the most likely topics head coach Cael Sanderson fielded questions about.

ANDY ELDER

LIFE WITHOUT DAVID AND ED

It will be a brave new world for the Nittany Lions in the first year without David Taylor and Ed Ruth in the lineup.

Andy Elder covers Penn State Those two comwrestling for The bined for seven NCAA Centre County finals appearances Gazette. Email and five championhim at sports@ ships. Both of those centrecounty totals are out of a posgazette.com. sible eight.

I would like to detail their list of accomplishments here, but there’s room for either that or news about current wrestlers.

I’m betting you’re interested in the latter.

A LINEUP OF LITTLE KNOWNS

In what increasingly sounds like a year of transition for the four-time defending champs, the lineup will undergo a serious overhaul.

That doesn’t mean that Sanderson and Co. have abdicated the throne.

However, to most observers, this year has the look of a bridge year from one dominating group to another potentially dominating group.

Savvy Nittany Lion fans will recognize this season for what it is, a speed bump on the way to another championship drive.

Here is, potentially, what the lineup could look like for the Sunday, Nov. 9, opener against Lehigh: 125 — junior Jordan Conaway; 133 — sophomore Jimmy Gulibon; 141 — redshirt freshman Kade Moss; 149 — sophomore Zack Beitz; 157

— redshirt freshman Cody Law; 165 — redshirt freshman Garrett Hammond; 174 — senior Matt Brown; 184 — redshirt freshman Matt McCutcheon; 197 — junior Morgan McIntosh; 285 — senior Jon Gingrich.

No matter what lineup finally takes the mat, know this — their coach will expect them to produce. Even if All-Americans Nico Megaludis (125) and Zain Retherford (141) redshirt, Sanderson said he thinks the Nittany Lions can still win a national title.

“As a program, you’re not trying to take third place. We’re trying to win. We would have to have an unbelievable tournament.

We would have to make progress throughout the year,” he said.

“We don’t have Ed Ruth and David Taylor so we’re going to need people to place higher. We need a heavyweight to step up.

I would never say we don’t think we can win. If I don’t believe that we can win then I need to do something else.”

PARITY RULES MORE THAN EVER

Even with all returning starters in the lineup, Penn State would be pushed to add a fifth title to the four in a row it has won.

Whether it’s a short-term aberration or a long-term trend, parity seems to have descended on NCAA Division I-A wrestling like never before.

The Nittany Lions are ranked No. 5 in the first USA Today/NWCA Division I Coaches Poll. Iowa is No. 1, followed by Minnesota, Cornell, Ohio State and PSU. Nine of the 14 Big Ten schools are ranked in the Top 25. In addition to the Hawkeyes, Golden Gophers, Buckeyes and Nittany Lions, there is Nebraska (7), Michigan (9), Illinois (13), Wisconsin (18) and Northwestern (19). And Maryland is getting votes.

“I think the total team points needed is probably going to go down. It has been going down. It is getting more competitive,” Sanderson said.

“Historically speaking, there were only a few teams that could win. Everyone wants to win, but who really had a chance? There weren’t that many. We think we can win.

Oklahoma State thinks it can win. Iowa thinks it can win. Minnesota, Cornell, Ohio

TIM WEIGHT/For the Gazette

PENN STATE wrestling coach Cael Sanderson, shown here during a summer camp, is preparing for the season without standouts David Taylor and Ed Ruth, who graduated.

State. I think Nebraska has a really good team this year. And Virginia Tech. And you have Edinboro who was near the top last year and has everybody back. You have a lot of teams that think they can win it so the points should be spread out. On paper it’s always different. When you get to nationals crazy things happen.”

MORE BACK LUCK FOR AN ALTON

Between the two Alton twins, Andrew and Dylan, it seems they can’t buy a break.

The pair has undergone multiple shoulder surgeries in the past two years.

Sanderson confirmed that Andrew had major knee surgery in August.

“He got hurt right before the school year started, sadly,” he said. “He was another guy we thought this would be the first year he was healthy in two years. He’s hustling to try to get back.”

Zack Beitz will inherit the spot, as he did for a large portion of last season.

PARITY RULES, PART II

The 2014 NWCA All-Star Classic was held at the Palestra in Philadelphia on Saturday. From the sounds of it, it was an entertaining evening.

Nine matches were contested (the 141-pound bout was canceled after Ohio State three-time NCAA champion Logan Stieber was scratched after weigh-ins), and those 18 wrestlers represented 14 different schools.

While there was nary a Nittany Lion or Hawkeye, there were wrestlers from Virginia, Southern Oregon, Old Dominion, Kent State and Edinboro, among others.

There is no longer a concentration of talent in a handful of programs. There are good wrestlers everywhere.

As if to underscore what promises to be a wide-open season, two defending NCAA champions fell.

Northwestern’s Mike McMullan doubled up defending champ Nick Gwiazdowski of N.C. State, 8-4, at 285 pounds.

And, at 197, Minnesota’s Scott Schiller knocked off Missouri’s J’Den Cox, 5-3, in sudden victory.

THE NEXT GREAT ONES?

Penn State’s recruiting class this year featured three wrestlers in most everyone’s Top 10 nationwide: Jason Nolf, Bo Nickal and Nick Nevills.

Sanderson said he plans to redshirt all three, but expect to see all of them in the lineup this time next year.

Nolf, a Kittanning product, projects to 157 pounds, where he’ll likely take over for Dylan Alton, or whomever wins that spot.

Sanderson said he likes his overall skills in all three positions.

Nevills, from California, is the heir apparent at heavyweight. Word is he’s already a handful for the three redshirt senior heavyweights expected to battle for the spot this year.

But the wrestler making the most noise behind the scenes is Bo Nickal from Texas, projected to be a 174- or 184-pounder, maybe eventually a 197-pounder.

Sanderson didn’t discourage comparisons to four-time All-American, three-time finalist and two-time champion Quentin Wright.

Word has it that Nickal, much like Wright, has no fear. He has highly entertaining tosses and throws but can revert to rock-solid singles and doubles, too.

Those three figure to be the foundation for another assault on the championship.

Program holds first-ever 5K BELLEFONTE — With a lot of smiles and cheers before, during and after the event, the Girls Just Wanna Run program finished with its inaugural 5K Fun Run at Governors Park in Bellefonte.

The race featured 144 runners and walkers, with 68 of the participants being girls from the program.

The ages of the participants ranged from 5 to 66, with everyone finishing the run. The course took the runners out of Governors Park onto Airport Road, and then turning around at Lutz Road.

The Bicycle Shop in State College helped sponsor the event, while Weis Market provided bagels and bananas for everyone. First Quality donated 10 cases of water, and C.E. Shawley Sep-

tic Services provided facilities.

The Spring Township and Bellefonte police departments and the Spring Township Fire Department secured the route, making sure all participants were as safe as possible.

The Bellefonte Emergency Medical Service was also on hand if anyone would have needed assistance.

Girls Just Wanna Run was an eightweek program in the Bellefonte Area School District. It was created to promote exercise and positive self-esteem in girls in fourth through eighth grades. The program was run by teacher and parent volunteers. More than 100 girls participated in the program at Marion-Walker and Benner elementary schools and Bellefonte Area Middle School.

PSU football: Sometimes better isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good enough

By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Penn State football is a knotted and tangled rope tied at each end to an anchor sinking to the bottom of two very different oceans.

One ocean is made of realities, unavoidable truths that weigh the program down.

This anchor wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t set to keep a boat close to shore in safe harbor, it was tossed into an ocean of sharks with the intention of dragging a body to the murky floor below.

Smaller rosters, limited talent and nearly no depth on a roster that will erode as the season moves along. New challenges climbing on the backs of old ones.

The anchor in the other ocean has only just begun to sink. Dirty water filled with growing frustrations, anger and the realization that a storybook ending may not be for Penn State this year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like that feeling you get in a dream as an unseen threat is closing in on you. No matter how hard you fight or how fast you run, the distance is closing and the feeling of helplessness only grows.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of frustration that has a star quarterback yelling at his offensive coordinator and players not really having a concrete answer to what they can do about any of their issues. There are no easy solutions to problems that are half their fault and half a reality they have to navigate. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very own maze runners.

Perhaps Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest public downfall this season has been the fact that so much about Penn State football feels familiar. The crowds are large, the fans are passionate, the uniforms even went back to the no-name versions for a game. Penn State is still Penn State even if the product lacks the kind of national relevance that

fans have come to expect over the years. A 4-0 open to the season was a red herring, suggesting that success may not be far away. If Penn State had started at (a very possible) 2-2, the fall from the world of the undefeated may have been a little softer.

But, with only four regular season games remaining on the schedule, those feelings of grandeur are long gone, replaced with a perception that there has been no progress made.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why, for as familiar as Penn State football seems, it is a hollow shell of what it was and what it will almost certainly be again in the near future. Penn State is playing football, but the purpose of the season feels like more of an investment for the future than any attempt to achieve a specific goal.

James Franklinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mantra of â&#x20AC;&#x153;one-week seasonsâ&#x20AC;? has as much to do with personal and team focus as a hope to put the blinders on a roster facing a season that could drag on into the cold of December without much relief.

There is still an undeniable truth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Penn State has improved since the season began. Even if the Nittany Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best overall game may have come against the University of Central Florida, Penn State is a better team than it was when Franklin got here, although the signs of improvement are less obvious to come by.

And that speaks to something â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that Penn State has had to come a long way to get where it is.

No matter how below average the offensive line might be, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because offensive line coach Herb Hand is bad at his job. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s improbable that after years of success he simply turned out to be a bust thanks to an offensive line that had to fill its ranks with defensive players to

have enough depth.

It stands to reason that behind the fences at the Lasch Building practice fields that this line â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is for better or worse the personification of the program at large â&#x20AC;&#x201D; started at the most basic of square ones and has been able to get to this point only through the work of Hand.

Apply that logic to the majority of the roster with varying levels of success, and you end where Penn State stands at 4-4.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a team that is better and not much more.

When you consider what Franklin and his staff did at Vanderbilt, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hard to conclude that no matter how young or imperfect the staff might be, they found a way to succeed in the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toughest football conference. And, even with a full complement of players and improved recruiting, they could only make so much progress in so little time.

Those challenges only got harder when they came to Penn State. And even if this season was in Year 3 of a Bill Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien tenure, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to imagine that he would have succeeded at a level that would have led to a drastically different outcome.

Maybe Christian Hackenberg would look better, maybe the plays would have been called differently, but the underlying issue, the underlying obstacle, is beyond something you can simply coach.

So yes, Penn State has gotten better.

The truth is though, â&#x20AC;&#x153;betterâ&#x20AC;? just might not be good enough to win this year.

And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the reality fans may have to face as the season hits its final stages. Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s improvement has gotten the Nittany Lions to the point where they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting blown out every week. Making games

competitive is the victory this season.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a difficult pill to swallow, but it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as though the challenges of this season were ever anything but foreseeable.

This season was always going to be the low point in the curve. The only unknown was how low it would be. Considering that Penn State won two games in the final minutes, 4-4 sounds a lot higher up the curve than 2-6.

Could Penn State be better than it is right now, even with sanctions? Certainly.

But what team couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t improve from its current status? What team wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like a few play calls back or a chance to catch a pass that was dropped?

The fact of the matter is Penn State is playing short handed and only has a few options of which hands to play. There isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a scheme in the game or a route for a receiver to run that Penn State hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contemplated.

Ultimately, if there was an answer out there somewhere, this team simply couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pull it off on a consistent basis.

Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems go beyond a refusal to do X when the coaches are trying Y. If anything, the fact that Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most effective play involves throwing the ball parallel to the line of scrimmage is a sign that there is a long way to go. Or, the fact that an open punting competition is between two punters.

And, so, here Penn State sits only a handful of games away from either a noteworthy bowl game or another cold long winter in Happy Valley. The Nittany Lions have made a hypothetical living out of exceeding expectations, so nothing is off the table yet.

But Penn State might just be the team everyone said it would be â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a hobbled program facing its steepest odds yet, just looking to make it to the other end of the season and brighter days ahead.

Even at 4-4, with good calls, bad calls, dropped passes and botched reviews, the biggest victory of all might just be the fact that a .500 record could have been better.

Tips to save energy during winter Did you know that a typical American household spends about $2,100 on energy bills each year?

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, most of that expense comes from a homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy use during the winter heating season.

A quick home checkup, however, can help you can reduce these costs, prepare for winter and enjoy energy savings.

Properly installed and maintained windows and doors can help keep your home more comfortable year-round.

Save on heating costs by preparing your windows and doors for winter with these tips: n Clear sills and moving parts of dirt and debris.

Debris like sand, dirt or leaves can get caught in windowsills and moving parts of windows or doors.

Clean these areas with a dry paintbrush to create a tighter seal and enhance window and door performance. n Check weather stripping. Re-attach or replace missing or worn weather stripping around windows and doors.

Loose weather stripping can let cold air in during the winter and out in the summer, reducing energy efficiency. n Reapply caulk or sealant around windows and doors.

Reseal areas around windows and doors that may have been exposed to heavy weather or extreme sunlight â&#x20AC;&#x201D; creating breaks in caulk or sealant â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to help reduce potential drafts and leaks. n Install snap-in blinds or shades.

These will help insulate your home from cold outdoor temperatures. n Repair or replace damaged exterior surfaces.

Cracked or deteriorated wood associated with water penetration may allow moisture or cold air to leak into your home.

Look closely for signs of moisture leakage and replace damaged wood. Consult a professional to help correct any roof or drainage problems around your home. n Install storm doors.

They add an extra layer of protection and help reduce air and moisture leakage.

Adding a storm door to your exterior doors can reduce energy loss through the entryway by up to 45 percent. n Replace old windows and doors with energyefficient ones.

If you have single-pane glass, clear glass or older windows or doors, you may be paying more to heat your home in the winter and cool it in the summer.

Replace old windows with energy-efficient, double- or triple-pane glass versions made with insulating argon, or install new durable fiberglass doors to help save money and energy year-round.

100-year-old Coburn veteran remembers Pearl Harbor

By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

COBURN — Like everyone in his generation, 100-year-old Lawrence J. Wolfe, of Coburn, remembers Dec. 7, 1941, the infamous day the Japanese attacked the American naval fleet in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. For Wolfe, the memories are especially vivid because he was there.

Wolfe was born in Spring Mills on Aug. 20, 1914, the son of Clayton and Edith Wolfe. He grew up in Coburn and worked for the state highway department, was a truck driver, and worked at Rote’s Feed Mill. He served in the Civilian Conservation Corps in Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

He was drafted into the U.S. Army in early 1941, and after training in Virginia, was sent to the West Coast, where he was assigned to a California National Guard unit. In late 1941 Wolfe was sent to Camp Malakole, on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, where he was assigned to Battery F of the 251st Coastal Artillery.

Wolfe remembers the morning attack on Pearl Harbor well. His base was less than a mile from the harbor.

“It was around 7:30. I was in the kitchen with the cooks, standing back on a platform in the back of the kitchen when they blew up the Arizona. We saw all this smoke — it looked like a volcano was blowing up,” said Wolfe. “The shock almost blew us off the stand we had in the kitchen.”

Wolfe said that he and his fellow soldiers at first didn’t realize it was the Japanese attacking.

“We had no idea,” he said. “We blamed it on the (U.S) Air Corps men.”

When Wolfe saw the red sun emblem on the planes, he realized it was an attack

by the Japanese.

Several planes were strafing the area, some spraying bullets into the kitchen.

Wolfe and the other men ran outside and dived into foxholes for cover. After a time of great confusion due to downed phone lines, the call to arms was blown on the bugle.

“Then the captain said, ‘We’re at war with the Japanese,’” said Wolfe.

Wolfe said a radar man saw the Japanese planes approaching the island from the south and reported his sighting to Gen. Walter Short. Short believed the planes to be American B-17 bombers. After the attack, in a controversial move, Short was charged with dereliction of duty and relieved of his command.

Wolfe lost a friend and fellow Coburn resident in the attack. Master Sgt. Bill Brandt, who was housed near the harbor, was shot and killed by a strafing Japanese plane when he stepped outside his building to see what was going on. Wolfe had planned to go to Brandt’s building the night before, but did not go because he was assigned to KP duty — he believes that assignment probably saved his life.

Following the attack, Wolfe’s unit went to Pearl Harbor to help with the massive cleanup effort. Later that month, Wolfe and the 251st shipped out to the Fiji Islands to serve as an anti-aircraft artillery unit.

Wolfe also spent time in the Solomon Islands and in Guadalcanal, where he was once shot at by Japanese snipers while driving a supply truck.

In April 1945, Wolfe came home on a 30-day leave and married the love of his life, Hester Wingard, in Rebersburg. Their marriage has endured for 69 years, and

Wolfe was discharged from the Army in late 1945, and returned to Pennsylvania.

He worked for the railroad in Renovo, repairing locomotive engines, while Hester worked in Lock Haven at the Piper Aircraft plant. The Wolfes moved to Coburn, and Lawrence attended mechanic school on the GI Bill.

He opened a garage just a few feet from his current residence, and later worked for Titan Metals (Cerro) in Bellefonte, retiring in 1976.

Wolfe concisely summed up the effect the Pearl Harbor attack had on America and the world.

“Them bombs — they changed everything,” he said. “The whole thing changed after that.”

Honoring our fallen heroes CONNIE COUSINS

FLORENCE, Italy — On a recent trip to Italy, a tour group had an unexpected surprise. Not originally on the itinerary, the stop at an American Cemetery and Memorial Gardens near Florence was an emotional experience.

Dedicated to the American soldiers buried there after World War II, the gardens radiate out in eight curving plots from the memorial pylon. Entrance gates of the Florence American Cemetery welcome visitors arriving off the Via Cassia from north or south.

Beautiful Tuscan cypress trees frame the entry. The burial grounds cover 70 acres and contain 4,398 headstones, Connie Cousins 4,322 Latin crosses and 76 Stars of covers a wide David. variety of events in On the cemetery’s Tablets of the Centre County for Missing are the names of 1,409 soldiers the Centre County missing in action, with rosettes markGazette.

by-side in the cemetery.

The cemetery was dedicated on July 25, 1960, and a pamphlet from the American Battlefield Monuments Commission explained the history of the battles that took place nearby.

After the liberation of Rome on June 5, 1944, the U.S. 5th Army and British 8th Army, supported by the Mediterranean Allied Air Forces, pushed north toward the Gothic Line, a major German defense taking advantage of the Apennine Mountains that separate central Italy from the Po Valley. What followed was a long and bloody campaign, with Florence falling to the Allies on Aug. 4, 1944, and with the 10th Mountain Division piercing German defenses south of Bologna in April 1945 to open the way further. By April 27, the 92nd Infantry Division entered Genoa and the U.S. units linked up with French Resistance Forces. On May 2, 1945, all German forces in Italy surrendered.

The cemetery site was liberated by the 6th South African Armored Division of the U.S. 5th Army on August 3, 1944. The government of Italy granted its free use as a permanent burial group in perpetuity without charge or taxation. A visitors building is staffed with a guide to answer questions.

The group gazing in awe that day was part of a tour sponsored by the Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County and facilitated with the help of Kish Travel.

The Tuscany Tour group consisted of CCBICC members, Kish Travel members and others.

As the tour group stepped off the bus and approached the pylon in front of the memorial, a hush descended over the visitors. They gazed up at a sculpture representing the spirit of peace perched on top of the monument.

After the group had a chance to read the names on the Tablets of the Missing, the cemetery’s guide read a donated letter from a young American soldier to his family.

In the letter, the soldier expressed his homesickness, his best wishes for his family and his wish for “a big bowl of popcorn.” He was killed shortly after writing the letter, and the reading of it brought the reality of war home to all who stood there. On vacation, with light hearts and thoughts about another wonderful Italian dinner, the cost of freedom registered in every mind.

The assembled group strolled down a slight hill toward the flagpole where the Italian staff person enlisted eight people to take part in a flag-lowering ceremony. The rest of the members of the tour stood respectfully as the American flag was slowly lowered and folded. The afternoon sun shone on a vista begging to be photographed.

Penn State Centre Stage to present â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Spring Awakeningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Penn State Centre Stage will present Duncan Sheik and Steven Saterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tony Award-Winning musical, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spring Awakening,â&#x20AC;? through Tuesday, Nov. 18, in the Pavilion Theatre. Directed by Cary Libkin, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spring Awakeningâ&#x20AC;? is an electrifying fusion of morality, sexuality and rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll music that explores the journey from adolescence to adulthood with poignancy and passion.

Based on the controversial 1891 German play â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spring Awakeningâ&#x20AC;? by Frank Wedekind, the folk-infused rock musical tells the story of teenagers discovering the internal and external tumult of sexuality. Following its conception in the late 1990s and various workshops, concerts, rewrites and its off-Broadway debut, the original Broadway production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spring Awakeningâ&#x20AC;? opened in 2006, winning eight Tony Awards, including best musical, direction, book, score and featured actor. The production also garnered four Drama Desk Awards and its original cast album received a Grammy Award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel so fortunate to be directing the musical â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Spring Awakeningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for Penn State Centre Stage,â&#x20AC;? said Libkin, head of Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bachelor of Fine Arts de-

gree in musical theater and musical theater programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Based on the play of the same name written in 1891, both versions are controversial, provocative and immensely entertaining. Set in Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pavilion Theatre, this intimate staging of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Spring Awakeningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; will offer a unique reimagining of the Broadway hit.â&#x20AC;?

For additional show information, visit www.theatre.psu.edu. Tickets are available at Penn State Tickets Downtown, Eisenhower Box Office, Bryce Jordan Center or by calling (814) 863-0255 or (800) ARTS-TIX. Penn State Centre Stage is the professional arm of the Penn State School of Theatre and serves as a training program for emerging theater professionals. One of Centre Stageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique attributes is that it creates collaborations between established industry professionals and theater students from Penn State and other colleges and universities. Each Center State production is created from conception to completion at Penn State using skills mastered and taught by its acclaimed theater faculty. As a result, Penn State is one of the top-ranked universities in the country for its theater training programs.

THE ORPHEUS SINGERS are holding auditions for Handelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Messiah,â&#x20AC;? which will be performed on Dec. 15 in State College and Dec. 17 in Hollidaysburg.

Orpheus Singers to hold auditions UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Orpheus Singers are holding auditions for Handelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Messiah,â&#x20AC;? which will be performed with the Pennsylvania Centre Orchestra on Monday, Dec. 15, in State College and Wednesday, Dec. 17, in Hollidaysburg.

Experienced singers interested in auditioning should contact Christopher Kiver, Penn State faculty member and conductor of the the Orpheus Singers, at cak27@psu.edu to arrange an audition time. Those auditioning will be asked to vocalize for an assessment of range and voice

part, sing 30 seconds of a prepared piece, sight sing, and sing back short melodic fragments played on the piano.

Choir rehearsals will take place on Wednesdays, beginning Nov. 12, from 7 to 9 p.m. Evening dress rehearsals will be held on Friday, Dec. 12, and Sunday, Dec. 14.

The Orpheus Singers is a 32-member choir comprised of Penn State students and members of the local community.

The choir comes together for short, intensive rehearsal periods for specific performances.

Exhibit explores diversity through jazz UNIVERSITY PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The exhibit â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jazz Riffs: Breaking Boundaries and Crossing Borders,â&#x20AC;? is on display through Sunday, April 12, in the Diversity Studies Room, 203 Pattee Library, on the campus of Penn State.

The exhibit speaks like a riff in jazz â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a short, simple melody used for creating more complicated musical patterns. It makes no claim to being all-inclusive; just a onetoe dip in the river of jazz, its music and the lives of a few of its artists.

Jazz Riffs looks at three major story elements in the history of jazz â&#x20AC;&#x201D; gender, race and world â&#x20AC;&#x201D; focusing on a few musicians or groups from each of these categories.

For gender, it looks at the 2011 film â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Girls in the Bandâ&#x20AC;? and at The International Sweethearts of Rhythm, an all-female racially diverse band that emerged from The Piney Woods School in rural Georgia.

For race, it looks at bandleader and clarinetist Benny Goodman and concert promoter/record producer Norman Granz, both of whom were influential in the integration of jazz bands and jazz audiences.

For world, it looks at Japanese jazz pianist, composer and conductor Toshiko Akiyoshi, one of the first female jazz musicians to conduct an all-male band, and at Belgian and Gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, one of the most-recognized early European jazz innovators.

Each of the three themes in the exhibit include musiciansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stories and their music and go deeper into the history, music, biography, film and fiction of jazz found within the rich resources of the University Libraries.

For library hours, during which the exhibit is open, call (814) 865-3063.

Carroll awarded $279K grant to develop app

By MAE SEVICK Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — Timebanking — a new paradigm that fuses community engagement with technology — is gradually gaining ground, according to Jack Carroll, a Distinguished Professor at Penn State’s College of Information Sciences and Technology. With the aid of a new grant from the National Science Foundation, he is developing an app that would help bring timebanking further into the mainstream.

“The philosophical foundation of timebanking is the equity principle that everyone’s time is worth the same,” explained Carroll. “This is an ideal in that one can plainly see that a lawyer’s time is worth more than a laborer’s time. But we also have to see that inequity in valuing time entails marginalization that benefits no one.”

Carroll has been awarded $279,621 from the NSF as part of a larger grant in support of the project “Intelligent ContextAware Peer-to-Peer Transaction Brokering.” He is collaborating with Victoria Bellotti of Palo Alto Research Center and Anind Dey, director of Carnegie-Mellon’s Human Computer Interaction Institute.

In the paper “Coordinating Community Cooperation: Integrating Timebanks and Nonprofit Volunteering by Design,” Carroll and his colleagues Patrick Shih, Kyungsik Han and Jessica Kropczynski define timebanking as a person-toperson relationship in which “a service is provided to a recipient, and the service provider receives hours.”

In this system, volunteer opportunities are matched with need, so that people giving their time are matched with people and opportunities that require

their specific skill sets and capabilities.

Carroll and his team’s responsibility is the “front end” of the project: to create a timebanking app that builds off of a previous grant with the Palo Alto Research Center. The app relies on the concept of “context awareness.”

“In this project, context awareness involves conveying to users that a preferred interaction opportunity is nearby at the current time,” Carroll said. “For example, if the system knows that I am willing to move furniture, and someone near where I am has a big chair stuck in a doorway, I might get a ping from the timebank.”

Peer-to-peer, he said, can be understood as “a new class of Web-managed services” such as Task Rabbit, where people hire themselves out to provide personal services, or Airbnb, where people rent out part of their living spaces.

“Peer-to-peer captures the lack of supervisory mediation by large corporate entities,” Carroll said. “So, Airbnb would contrast with Hilton Hotels.”

Timebanking provides a measure of directness and immediacy to interactions and to volunteer opportunities, he said.

Rather than relying on a vast bureaucracy or complicated set of prerequisites, a user gets exposure to a direct opportunity to complete a task from another user who needs the task done.

The opportunity is matched with the user’s capabilities and interests, and builds off of what the user has done previously.

“One of Edgar Cahn’s books was titled ‘No More Throwaway People,’ which presents the idea that everyone has value and can contribute to society,” Carroll said. “The challenge for society is to figure out how to make that real. Timebanking is part of a solution.”

Schlow Library announces promotion and new hire STATE COLLEGE — Schlow Centre Region Library announces a recent staff promotion and an addition to the staff.

Lisa Rives Collens has become the new head of patron services. Brady Clemens, currently the director of the Juniata County Library, will join Schlow as the new district library consultant beginning in December.

Collens holds a master’s degree in library science from Wayne State University and has worked in public libraries for 14 years. Prior to becoming head of patron services, Collens was Schlow’s district library consultant. In that position, her tasks included writing grants, training board members and helping the six libraries in the district optimize their services. She previously worked at Centre County Library and Historical Museum and the Penn State Libraries.

A 2014 graduate of Leadership Centre County, Collens is dedicated to giving Schlow patrons the best customer service experience possible.

She is especially looking forward to employing data about customer use patterns to enhance customer service and amplify the impact of Schlow’s many services.

Clemens is a 2011 graduate of Clarion University. He was previously

While at Juniata County Library, Clemens oversaw the elimination of a budget deficit. His innovative and patron-centered approach will be an excellent addition to Schlow’s staff.

Collens and Clemens each bring to their respective positions a great pas-

sion for customer service and an understanding of the dynamic nature of libraries in the 21st century. By focusing on library patrons and the technologies they use to read and learn, Collens and Clemens are poised to maximize the impact of Schlow and the district libraries on our community.

Visiting expert to focus on intersection of mobile, local and social UNIVERSITY PARK — “Location, location, location” no longer applies only to real estate. In the fast-paced world of mobile technology, location-based campaigns allow businesses and consumers to connect in new and creative ways.

Essentially, digital devices such as phones, tablets, laptops and televisions all incorporate location. Through location, companies can track and possibly influence behavior.

This is what the leading location-based expert, Asif Khan, will address during a lecture on the University Park campus in November.

Khan, founder of the Location Based Marketing Association, will present “Why Location is the New Cookie” at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 11, in the Nittany Lion Inn Boardroom. The session is free and open to the public.

Khan comes to campus as the featured guest for the Arthur W. Page Center Professional-in-Residence Lecture Series supported by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. His weeklong visit, from Monday, Nov. 10, to Friday, Nov. 14, also includes numerous classroom visits, meetings with faculty and sessions with researchers who have an interest in mobile, social and local marking, public relations and advertising.

Khan is a veteran tech startup, business development

and marketing entrepreneur with more than 15 years of experience.

Along with his role as the founder and president of LBMA, he works as a consultant and speaker to the locationbased services community.

Prior to launching the LBMA, Khan worked with companies as diverse as American Airlines, Baxter Pharmaceuticals, Best Buy, Cineplex Entertainment, IBM, ING Bank, Limited Brands, L’Oreal, Molson-Coors and ASIF KHAN Vroom & Dreesman. He also broadcasts a weekly podcast, “This Week In Location-Based Marketing,” and writes a weekly column for www.streetfightmag.com about hyperlocal.

The LBMA is an international organization dedicated to fostering research, education and collaborative movement at the intersection of people, places and media. Members of the LBMA include retailers, agencies, advertisers, media buyers, software and services providers, and wireless companies.

The association’s core goal is to aim to help companies engaging in location-based services to be as successful as possible.

You’ve heard it. Heck, you might even say or think it from time to time.

“That’s not my problem.”

It could be related to a customer issue or a flawed work process.

Or, another department or team member is responsible for a task or project you know isn’t progressing as it should.

Yet when a new idea is proposed, many people point out potential negatives or say nothing. The new approach is met with little or no support and even resistance.

These and other examples make the “not my problem” problem one of the biggest roadblocks to positive David M. change.

Mastovich is When you learn of a new approach, president of ask yourself, “Does the current way MASSolutions Inc. maximize the opportunity?” If the anFor more swer is anything less than a resoundinformation, ing “yes,” give the new idea a chance visit www.mas and work to understand the “why” besolutions.biz. hind it.

If you’re the person promoting change, present the rationale behind the idea and the metrics you will use to evaluate it. Remember it’s human nature to fear a loss of control or an increased workload resulting from a new process. Show how the new way helps each group impacted by the change.

Communicate clearly and often. Create a sense of urgency among the troops. Point out what they lose by standing pat and what they gain by moving forward. Think beyond your immediate area to how other departments will be impacted. Acknowledge there could be challenges during the transition.

Listen to constructive feedback, but be firm with naysayers focusing only on the negatives. If you don’t hear from some people, a common mistake is to perceive their silence as support of your idea. You need to probe to find out what they really think and flesh out potential roadblocks.

Your communication before, during and after implementing the change will have as much impact on the success as the change itself. Create a communication plan prior to implementing the new approach. Work the plan.

Ask for feedback. Listen and adjust based on what you learn.

No problem, right?

Society of Women Engineers blazes a trail UNIVERSITY PARK — The Penn State student chapter of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) was recently recognized with two national awards.

The chapter received the Outstanding Collegiate Section (OCS) Gold Award, the highest possible collegiate recognition, during the SWE National Conference Oct. 23-25 in Los Angeles.

The society was also named the winner of the national Stilettos to Steel Toes Contest, sponsored by Schlumberger.

The SWE OCS Awards were first established in 1975 to recognize outstanding collegiate sections and encourage continuous improvement and growth of each section.

They recognize measurable, year-long impact in outreach, professional excellence, membership recruitment and innovative and new or expanded activities.

Award levels include certificate of participation, certificate of merit, bronze, silver and gold.

Ashlee Palm, senior in mechanical engineering and SWE communications director, was a member lastTHyear when IT’StheMAHINDRA’S the group received silver award. “We20 were thrilled to ANNIVERSARY bring home the gold award this year.”.

She added that the Penn State chapter is so successful,

in part, due to having more than 350 members. “At the conference, women from other national SWE chapters were asking us how we keep so many women involved in the society.”

For the fourth consecutive year, Penn State’s SWE was named the grand-prize winner in Schlumberger’s From Stilettos to Steel Toes Essay Contest.

To enter, SWE collegiate members from colleges across the country submitted essays explaining why a nontraditional job is the way to go. The essay prompt was “How will you blaze your own trail?”

Penn State’s SWE chapter beat 35 competing universities by submitting 336 essays. It was a close contest: Penn State submitted one more essay than the second-place team, McGill University in Montreal.

Texas Tech University, Ohio State University and Georgia Tech rounded out the top five with 113, 109 and 94 essays, respectively.

The chapter will receive $100 for each essay, up to the first 150 essays, as well as $2,000 for submitting the most essays, for a total of $17,000.

Danielle Roethlein, a senior in petroleum and natural gas engineering, said her essay focused on her desire to

push the limits that have been set for female engineers.

“I have faced many situations in which I was told that I wasn’t able to take part in jobs that my male counterparts were working on, so I coordinate with supervisors or lab teaching assistants to allow me to take ‘baby steps.’ I don’t expect them to be comfortable with me lifting iron or using a power saw right from the start, but if I can get them to see my abilities at any point during a project, I feel like I’ve succeeded.”

Mechanical engineering junior Cassandra Baum said the contest incites young engineering women to think about how they will conquer their dreams and aspirations.

“I have a strong interest in the natural gas industry, so I found the word ‘blaze’ to be fitting to my projected career path.”

Ellen Fagan, SWE vice president of corporate relations and industrial engineering senior, said the prize money will be used for future programming. “We will also purchase SWE track jackets as a thank you for all who participated, so they can show off their Penn State SWE pride.”

Cheryl Knobloch, Women in Engineering Program director and Penn State SWE counselor, noted, “Competition is fierce for the highest national recognition acknowledging measurable year-long impact. Penn State SWE members epitomize the attributes of a world-class engineer. They consistently commit to excellence and creatively generate innovative programming to advance their engineering peers and enrich our college. Their well-deserved recognition distinguishes them as visionary leaders and models for collegiate SWE chapters nationwide. We are very proud of their accomplishments.”

Schlumberger is the world’s leading supplier of technology, integrated project management and information solutions to customers working in the oil and gas industry worldwide.

SWE is a nonprofit educational and professional organization dedicated to the advancement of women in engineering. The society also recognizes members for their life-changing contributions as engineers and leaders.
