BIGGER THAN FOOTBALL County cleans up after damaging flood

THRONGS OF FANS pour onto the field at Beaver Stadium on Oct. 22 to celebrate Penn State’s big win over Ohio State.

Nittany Nation felt whole again following huge win

By MIKE POORMAN statecollege.com

Penn State has played 348 games in Beaver Stadium since 1960.

Twice in that 56-year history, the Nittany Lions have knocked off a No. 2 team under the lights.

First, there was eighth-ranked Penn State’s improbable 27-24 victory over second-ranked Nebraska on Sept. 25, 1982.

Then, there was the unranked Nittany Lions’ 24-21 WhiteOut win over second-ranked Ohio State on Oct. 22.

Neither Beaver Stadium classic surpasses the national championship game victories over Georgia in 1982 and Miami (Fla.) in 1986 as the biggest wins in

BELLEFONTE — The Centre County community worked to clean up this week after Mother Nature dumped up to 10 inches of rain in a two-hour period Oct. 20, forcing hundreds of families from their homes and causing millions of dollars in damage.

The Bald Eagle Valley area, particularly Milesburg Borough, was hit hardest by the deluge.

“You just can’t handle that

much rain in that short of a time period,” said Jeff Warren, Centre County Emergency Management Agency director. “This was a very major event, but we’re actually pretty lucky to get out of it like we did. I believe there was just two minor injuries over the course of the entire event. All the first responders did a wonderful job getting out there quickly and making sure people were safe.”

Penn State’s 130-year, 1,286-game history.

Together, though, the Nebraska and Ohio State wins rank 1 and 2 as the biggest victories in stadium history. But, in what order?

THE CASE FOR NEBRASKA

We tried to answer this question three years ago, the day after Penn State defeated Michigan in four overtimes, 43-40. To do so back then, I tapped into the collective wisdom of the late and great broadcaster Fran Fisher and Penn State football historian Lou Prato (who was in the press box Oct. 22).

And, without a doubt, all three of us picked that Nebraska game as No. 1.

BELLEFONTE — It’s a celebration, Ken Martin says, more than a decade in the making.

Hundreds of stamp enthusiasts from around the country and beyond will be in town this weekend for the grand opening ceremonies of the American Philatelic Research Library, the world’s largest library devoted to the hobby of stamp collecting.

“You could say it’s been a 14-year odyssey,” said Martin, chief operating officer of the 30,000-member American Philatelic Society. The historic former match factory that houses the library was purchased in 2002, and renovations of the complex originally opened in 1900 have happened in phases.

Community .................... 13 Penns Valley Spotlight ... 17

The $4 million, 19,000-squarefoot library increases its floor space by about 60 percent at the American Philatelic Center, which it shares with the American Philatelic Society at 100 Match Factory Place, behind Tallyrand Park.

The new library space actually opened in August, but the celebration is just beginning.

The weekend’s festivities kick off with a dinner Friday night, Oct. 28, at the center. About 165 people from as far away as England are expected at the affair, which is sold out.

The public is invited to the grand opening Saturday, Oct. 29. Martin said he expects that more than 300 people will attend. The library will be dedicated at a 10 a.m. ribbon-cutting. After the ceremony, the center will be open for visitors to tour until 4 p.m.

There is much to see and do, even for the non-collector.

Visitors can see displays and talk to staff members about postal history, as well as the history of the library, the society and stamp collecting.

There is a display, for example, on Bellefonte’s role in the early history of air mail. The town was the first fueling stop on the route from New York to Chicago. From 1918 to 1927, pilots landed at an airfield at what is now Bellefonte Area High School. The pilots, Martin noted, were treated as celebrities in town, often staying with local families.

Visitors Saturday can also purchase a collectible American Philatelic Research Library envelope with special cancellation.

Among the historical items housed at the center: ■ A 1729 postal map showing New England, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, the oldest item in the library’s collection.

THE 19TH-CENTURY Headsville Post Office at the American Philatelic Center is on loan from the Smithsonian. The working post office and general store operated in Headsville, W.Va., from the early 1860s until 1914. It was delivered from the Smithsonian to Bellefonte in pieces on refrigerated trucks.

THE NEW American Philatelic Research Library, the world’s largest library devoted to the hobby of stamp collecting, celebrates its grand opening Friday, Oct. 28, and Saturday, Oct. 29. the Ventilating Waterproof Shoe Co. and from Estabrook & Wires Clinching Screw.

Perhaps the library’s most celebrated items are two “Inverted Jenny” stamps worth about $250,000 each. They are not the most valuable stamps ever issued, Martin said, but they are perhaps the most famous. One of the two was just returned to the library in June after being missing for more than 60 years. The stamps are from a block of four stamps stolen at a 1955 American Philatelic Society show in Norfolk, Va. Two of the four stolen stamps were located in 1979 and 1982 and returned to the library, which sold one and kept the other.

The fourth stamp is still missing.

The stamps were originally part of a sheet of 100 printed in 1918. According to the society’s website, Stamps.org, the Post Office Department created the stamps as it instituted airmail service. Since the stamps are bicolored — a blue plane inside a red frame on white paper — the stamps had be run through the press twice. The theory is that the inverted sheet was mistakenly placed on the press upside down during the printing of one of the colors on the sheet.

The biplane depicted on the stamps is a Curtiss JN-4 “Jenny,” hence the “Inverted Jenny” moniker.

The library’s first physical space was on Fraser Street in State College, from 19711982; it then moved to the corner of Oakwood Avenue and Waddle Road, before re-

locating to the old match factory complex in Bellefonte in 2004. Before its new space, the library was housed in two buildings at the complex.

Stamp collecting has long been part of Martin’s life. He started collecting at age 11, and as a student at Penn State founded a stamp club on campus. He recalls that as a PSU freshman in 1982, he began riding his bike to volunteer at the APRL, which was then housed in a building behind what is now the Texas Roadhouse in State College. He’s been working for the society fulltime since 1995.

Director of information services/librarian Tara Murray, who manages the vast collection, took a different path to the library. Murray joined the APRL in July 2010 after spending nine years as an information services director for the Population Research Institute at Penn State. She was not a stamp collector, and said that while

her skills were transferrable, she had to learn a new language.

“I’ve picked up a lot in the last six years,” she said.

The APRL processes more than 1,500 external requests for information a year.

While most are from collectors, even fact checkers from game shows are among those with inquiries.

The center sees its share of people who walk in wondering about the monetary value of their stamp collection, Martin said.

For the most part, collectors would do well not to dream of big dollar signs.

More than 700,000 stamps have been issued since 1840, and 98 percent are worth less than $1, according to Martin. For most, it’s about the fun and challenge of collecting.

“We promote stamp collecting as a hobby,” he said.

OCTOBER 27-NOVEMBER 2, 2016

PSU names new VP for development and alumni relations Penn State Live UNIVERSITY PARK — O. Richard Bundy III, president and chief executive officer of the University of Vermont Foundation, has been named vice president for development and alumni relations at Penn State, effective Sunday, Jan. 1, pending approval of the board of trustees at the Friday, Nov. 4, meeting.

Bundy succeeds Rodney Kirsch, who during his 20-year career at Penn State attained $4.4 billion in new private support for the university while leading two seven-year, billion-dollar-plus capital campaigns. Kirsch announced his retirement in March.

David Lieb, senior associate vice president for development, will serve as interim vice president for development and alumni relations through the end of this year.

“Rich’s energy and fresh perspective are exactly what Penn State needs as we prepare to launch our upcoming capital campaign,” said Penn State President Eric Barron. “Our alumni and friends are passionate advocates of Penn State and its mission, and it takes an equally passionate leader to engage with them and convey our most fundamental needs. Not only does Rich possess that passion, but he shares our collective vision to enhance Penn State’s impact, both here and beyond.

“While I couldn’t be happier that Rich will be joining us, I am equally pleased that an experienced and respected professional like Dave Lieb has agreed to serve as vice president on an interim basis, as his leadership will prove invaluable in the months ahead.”

A Penn State alumnus who began his career in public higher education fundraising at the university, Bundy brings more than 20 years of experience to his new role.

At Vermont, Bundy oversaw the establishment of the University of Vermont Foundation, a separate, institutionally related 501(c)(3) organization, which has enjoyed six successive years of record fundraising since its establishment in 2011.

He also provided oversight and management of all aspects of Vermont’s fundraising and alumni relations programs, including leadership toward the successful execution of the university’s current eight-year, $500 million campaign, “Move Mountains.”

Before joining the University of Vermont in 2010, Bundy spent more than a decade working in development at Iowa State University, ultimately serving as vice president for development at the ISU Foundation. In this role, Bundy oversaw nearly all of Iowa State’s fundraising activities, including serving as campaign director for “Campaign Iowa State,” the uni-

versity’s successful eight-year, $800 million comprehensive campaign that ended in 2011.

Previously, Bundy served as associate director of development for the Eli Broad College of Business at Michigan State University from 1997 to O. RICHARD 2000. Bundy was asBUNDY III sistant director of annual giving at Penn State from 1995 to 1997, during which time he managed the Lion Line program.

“Penn State is unquestionably one of the leading public universities in the nation, with far-reaching impact, a passionate alumni community and an exciting strategic vision to affect the world in positive and enduring ways,” said Bundy.

“Philanthropy is an increasingly critical component of public higher education, and I look forward to working with President Barron and the entire Penn State family to advance the university’s mission and vision through the upcoming campaign.”

Bundy is a life member of the Penn State Alumni Association, as well as a member of the Golden Lion Society and the Mount

Nittany Society. In 2011, he endowed a scholarship in honor of his father, retired Penn State Blue Band director O. Richard Bundy Jr., to support student musicians in the Blue Band.

At Penn State, Bundy will lead a team of more than 400 professionals whose work secured $2.2 billion in support during the university’s most recent capital campaign that ended in 2014 — and who engage the more than 177,000 members of the Penn State Alumni Association, the largest dues-paying organization of its kind in the world.

As a member of the university’s senior leadership team, Bundy will report directly to the president. Bundy will provide strategic vision and leadership for every aspect of the university’s advancement operation, including frontline fundraising, alumni relations, event planning, major gift cultivation, corporate and foundation relations and more, in support of Penn State’s strategic goals and institutional missions.

Bundy earned two degrees at Penn State — a master of arts in history in 1996 and a bachelor of arts in history in 1993.

He also earned an MBA with a focus in integrative management from Michigan State University in 1999, and he completed the Harvard Graduate School of Education’s Management Development Program in 2004.

Corrections officer found guilty on animal cruelty charges

By G. KERRY WEBSTER kerry.ccgazette@gmail.com

BELLEFONTE — A State Correctional Institution officer was sentenced to serve two days in the Centre County Correctional Facility and pay a $300 fine after he was found guilty of animal cruelty charges in Centre County court Oct. 19.

Chad Holland, 40, was found guilty after a bench trial. Judge Kelley Gillette-Walker presided over the case.

According to police, on July 7, person-

nel from the Drug Interdiction Unit at the Department of Corrections, housed at SCI Rockview, conducted training exercises with its newest canine officer, a 2-year-old Labrador retriever named Totti. Holland, a sergeant, had served as an assistant canine trainer for nine years.

Police said training for Totti began early in the day to avoid the forecasted hot temperatures. Authorities said when Holland returned to the DIU offices around noon, he turned the vehicle off and unloaded narcotic training aids from inside the ve-

hicle and left Totti inside with the windows and doors closed, rather than securing him in his kennel, which was located 10 feet away. Police said while unloading the vehicle, Holland took a phone call and walked into a building, where he entered into discussion with a colleague.

Police said three hours passed before Holland returned to the vehicle at the end of the shift. Daytime temperatures that day reached 85 degrees.

He found Totti unresponsive in the vehicle’s back seat. DIU members immedi-

ately applied ice to him and rushed him to a veterinary clinic, but he died five hours later. Police said the dog suffered a seizure related to hyperthermia-induced brain swelling.

“If you ever see a dog trapped in a hot car, please don’t leave the scene until the situation is resolved,” said Centre County District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller. “If you see any animal being mistreated, report it immediately. Pets rely exclusively on us for their care and safety so we need to step up when something is wrong.”

OCTOBER 27-NOVEMBER 2, 2016 Nittany Nation, from page 1 Why was Nebraska, the 124th game in stadium history, No. 1?

Well, it had a massive amount of dramatic elements and lots of contextual history. It included an epic 65-yard drive with 1:18 left that featured The Catch by Mike McCloskey (in bounds all the way?) and the low grab of the winning touchdown by Kirk Bowman. A fourth-quarter comeback.

A highly respected opponent.

It was the first game ever played under the lights at Beaver Stadium (portable ones), with a 3:45 p.m. kick and a crowd that never stopped screaming. Without that victory, Penn State likely would not have won its first national championship that season, as it lost 42-17 the next week at Alabama. The win over the Cornhuskers was one of a strong handful of intersectional victories Penn State needed to solidify its place as a national power and validate a 31-5 stretch from 1980-82 that culminated with the Nittany Lions’ 27-23 national title-winning victory over Georgia in the 1983 Sugar Bowl.

Without that national title, would have Penn State still been No. 1 in 1986? I’ll say yes; maybe fueled by the promises of 1981-82 unfilled, perhaps the initial No. 1 (also?) would have come in 1985. We’ll never know.

THE CASE FOR OHIO STATE

We do know this about Penn State’s victory over Ohio State on Oct. 22. It was bigger than football. (Hence, Exhibit A that Penn State does, indeed, have a football culture.)

Head coach James Franklin, alternately laughing and in tears and all choked up after the game, shared why.

“This is for everybody,” Franklin said. “This community has been through so much in the last five years, and this is a big step in the right direction in terms of healing. I said this very, very early on — that for us to get where we wanted to be, we need this entire community to be together.

And a win like tonight, I know I’m biased, but I believe that football has the ability to bring a community together like nothing else, so I want to thank everybody.”

Context is everything. And that’s why the victory over Ohio State was very likely the biggest win in Beaver Stadium history. (Despite Prato’s call to me Oct. 23, in which his first words were, after my hello, “It’s still Nebraska.”

Typical Lou, who is a Penn State treasure.)

There was so much more than just the game. Granted, though, the Oct. 22 contest was a great game to watch: From a scoreless first-quarter punching match — the only quarter in 2016 that the Buckeyes failed to score until Penn State blanked them again in the fourth quarter — to a riveting and epic 14-point fourth-quarter comeback (capped

by Grant Haley’s 60-yard scoop-and-score after a blocked field goal), it had everything.

There was a safety. A muffed punt. Two blocked field goals and a missed extra point. A TD dash that was so

THE CENTRE COUNTY GAZETTE desperately and McSorely wanted by Penn State’s quarterback. The return and shared 31 tackles of linebackers Brandon Bell and Jason Cabinda. And, a fourth-quarter, 90-yard, five-play, 80-second Penn State drive that pulled Penn State back from a 21-7 abyss and reignited a Penn State crowd of 107,280.

It was David vs. Goliath. The Nittany Lions entered as a massive 20.5-point underdog. Ohio State had the ball for more than 37 minutes, Penn State barely 22. Under Urban Meyer, the Buckeyes had won 20 consecutive true road games and had beaten Penn State four straight times.

Coming into the game, Ohio State had won 78 straight games when leading by 14 in the fourth quarter.

There was revenge. The win was payback against Meyer and his 63-14 thrashing in 2013 and the Buckeyes’ disputed 31-24 OT win at The Beav in 2014. Someone I know who knows someone in Columbus who knows Urban said the Buckeyes coach had visions this past summer of “hanging a basketball number on Penn State.”

There was history. It was Penn State’s first win against a Top 2 team since a 1990 24-21 road victory at Notre Dame; its first victory against a Top 5 team since beating Arizona 41-7 at home in the 1999 season-opener; and its first win against a ranked opponent since knocking off No. 14 Wisconsin, 31-24, in 2013. (A great win in its own regard, far beyond football.)

But for all the drama, for all the numbers, for every one of the 107,000-plus fans who were there Saturday night, there was more.

There was redemption.

PAGE 5 ball culture at Penn State, in so many good ways. (Todd Blackledge, the quarterback who led the winning drive, was a Phi Beta Kappa, an Academic All-American, the leader of the squad’s Monday-night Bible fellowship group and an NCAA Silver Award winner for his post-graduate success.)

MOUNT NITTANY HIGH

But the 2016 victory was even more important. Energized by thousands of white T-shirt-wearers and screaming white knucklers, fueled by social media, powered by a team of young men who literally never quit, Nittany Nation felt whole and as one again.

On the field, the 1982 game may have meant more in pure football terms. However, for its impact on The Pennsylvania State University, the upset of Ohio State meant much more.

Let’s not downplay the role of social media in all of this.

Twitter and Instagram and Facebook and group texts connected Penn Staters around the world Oct. 22 in a positive way — all for one all at one time — like nothing ever has.

Football did that. Beating Ohio State did that.

Post-game damage estimated at $30,000

By GEOFF RUSHTON statecollege.com

WIN ONE FOR THE ...

The win was for the Penn State players — the Mautis and Zordichs and McGloins — who held the team together. And the ones like bold and spiritual leaders Miles Dieffenbach and Nyeem Wartman-White and Andrew Nelson, who suffered college career-ending injuries along the way.

And the quarterback named Christian Hackenberg, who took a pounding in so many ways.

It was for Franklin, of course, who has endured criticism and a hot seat to earn his signature win. His backflips and optimism and hashtags now have new meaning.

But, most of all, it was for the Penn State and State College communities ... students who came despite scandal, alumni who stayed loyal, locals who are still impacted in so many ways, on the surface and in their psyches, so many years and tears later, who had endured so much over the past 1,813 days, dating back to Nov. 5, 2011.

That the victory came at the end of the first week of Mike McQueary’s trial vs. Penn State and just two weeks shy of the five-year anniversary of the initial Sandusky charges gives this victory a depth of meaning that the Nittany Lions’ 1982 win over Nebraska never can.

One could say that the 1982 thrilling defeat of Nebraska was key in firmly and forever establishing the foot-

STATE COLLEGE — The celebration in downtown State College following Penn State’s upset of Ohio State is proving to be a costly one.

State College Police said Oct. 25 that the preliminary damage estimate is now $30,000 after 5,000 to 10,000 people gathered on the 200 block of East Beaver Avenue late Oct. 22 and early Oct. 23.

The crowd damaged a number of street lights and street signs. Police said one Beaver Avenue light post was removed entirely, other street lights and signs on Beaver Avenue and South Garner Street were damaged and removed and a stop sign was taken down.

People in the crowd started several small fires, and one woman was taken to Mount Nittany Medical Center after being struck in the head with a bottle. A fight that broke out amidst the crowd resulted in one man suffering a broken jaw. A woman also reported that a beer can was thrown at and shattered her apartment window Anyone with photos or videos that may show crimes being committed is asked to submit them to policemedia@ statecollegepa.us.

PAGE 6 Flood, from page 1 According to Warren, the rain began at about 11 p.m. Oct. 20. By midnight, people began realizing the potential of the storm.

“The forecast was only calling for 2 inches, but we got so much more than that,” Warren said during Centre County’s board of commissioners meeting Oct. 25.

“Most places experienced anywhere between 5 and 7 inches of rain, but it was much worse in the Bald Eagle Valley.”

Warren said help came from all across central Pennsylvania, as hundreds of firefighters and other emergency personnel came to the aid of Centre County. He said 100 boat rescues were performed during the event.

“We’re so lucky to get the support we do from our neighbors,” said Warren. “We had a lot of people that couldn’t get out of their homes because the water was so high, but we had a great group of people out making the rescues, as well as great people in the command center directing them. It was a total team effort through and through.”

Warren said more than 200 private residences were damaged during the weather event and even more experienced flooded basements. Several rural roadways, such as Purdue Mountain Road, were closed because of the damage.

“Although most of the roadways in Centre County are now open, there are still a few that sustained heavy damage and those roads are still deemed unsafe to travel,” said Warren. “Local residents in these areas have access to their homes, but there is no through traffic being allowed to pass.”

Bald Eagle Area High School officials opened the school building to refugees of the storm. There, the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army assisted the displaced families. Donations of food, water and other supplies poured in from Pizza Mia, Valley Diner, Sheetz, Coca-Cola Bottling Co., Pizza Hut and several other local businesses.

Utility services, such as telephone, electricity, water and sewage, has been restored in the affected areas.

Now, according to Warren, it is time to

THE CENTRE COUNTY GAZETTE begin assessing the numbers. Although he could not put a finger on an exact amount of damage, he did say he feels damage to infrastructure alone will reach more than $1 million.

“People aren’t making itemized lists of everything they lost, so it’s going to be tough to ever get an exact figure,” he said.

“But, it’s important for us to make note of all damages to private and public property. Those numbers are important when it comes to receiving state and federal disaster relief funds.”

Warren said the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, as well as county personnel, have been visiting residents of the affected area to conduct damage assessments. Warren said if any county residents who were affected by the flood have not yet spoken with PEMA or CCEMA, they are encouraged to contact the CCEMA office at (814) 355-6745.

“We’ve taken reports from more than 200 private residents so far, and there’s still a lot more out there,” he said. “We need to know what happened where so we can report those numbers. It’s crucial to secure the much-needed funding we’re going to need to get back on track.”

In addition to collecting damage information, Centre County’s Adult Services offices is gathering resources to help the families in need. Faith Ryan, director of Centre County Adult Services, said case management services will be provided by her office.

“We want to find out what people’s immediate needs are,” said Ryan. “Several of our county agencies, such as the Veterans Office and the Office of Aging, are ready to help residents out, and our local state representative offices are ready to help people who may have lost their identifications or birth certificates, and other documents like that.”

She said families seeking help are encouraged to contact her office at (814) 3556768, or call the 24-hour hotline at (800) 494-2500.

Mark Ott, president of Howard Fire Company, attended the meeting. He said he was proud to see all the people in the community pitching in to help each other out.

“I’ve seen a lot of people doing a lot of

OCTOBER 27-NOVEMBER 2, 2016

things,” Ott said. “It was crazy to see how powerful water can be firsthand, but we all did last weekend. It sure had a devastating effect on our community.”

Ott said the rains forced the cancellation of the annual Pumpkin Chuckin’ event, which is held as a fire company fundraiser at Howard Dam. According to Ott, the company makes about 30 percent of its yearly budget at the event. This year, however, that money will not be coming in.

“We usually see about 500 tickets to our annual gun raffle at that event, so we’re going to have 500 tickets we’re going to need to sell somewhere,” he said.

In addition, the company has launched a T-shirt sale fundraiser to help recoup some costs.

Two pastors with congregations in the affected area also visited the commissioners’ meeting to offer their help.

Pastor Eric Gerber, of the Freedom Life Church, and Pastor David Merlot, of Runville Church, said they began assisting in the community as soon as they realized the impending dangers of the storm. They visited homes doing whatever they could to help.

“Some folks were completely displaced and many are going to have a hard time moving forward from here,” said Gerber.

“We’re trying to go out to as many houses in the community as we can and try to help.”

Gerber said his congregation has established a section of its website, www.

freedomlife.tv, to solicit a list of needs from families in the area, as well as provide a place to make financial donations.

Milesburg business owners Cheryl and Jeff Walker began the Helping Other People Excel initiative about four years ago.

The couple attended this week’s meeting to let the commissioners know those funds are available now.

“We started this fund for situations just like this,” said Jeff Walker. “Right now, we have $40,000 in our checkbook and we’re ready to spend it.”

Jeff Walker said through the funds, affected families can receive $250 to $500 to help their situation.

“We want to use this money to help people get food and clothes immediately,” said Cheryl Walker. “There’s no red tape to cut through. We can get money into people’s hands right away.”

Donations can be made to the HOPE initiative by contacting jcwalker04@comcast.net. Donations are also being accepted through Interfaith Human Services’ Dislocated Residents Fund at www.ihscentrecounty.org.

“The county, and in particular, the communities that were affected, are going to be busy for the next several weeks, possibly months, getting things cleared up and back to normal,” said Commissioner Steve Dershem. “But there was no loss of life and there were no serious injuries. I just think that’s phenomenal considering what we went through.”

Park Forest Middle School reopens STATE COLLEGE — Students at Park Forest Middle School were back to classes mid-week after a severe weather event flooded the school, forcing its closure Oct. 24 and 25.

According to the National Weather Service, 5 inches of rain fell over a two-hour period in the Park Forest area, and over a five-hour period, about 7 inches of rain accumulated. As a result, water backed up from overwhelmed storm drains damaged walls and floors in about half the school.

A private contractor and district maintenance staff immediately began cleanup work, and continued the cleaning throughout the weekend. The workers used dozens of large commercial-grade dehumidifiers

and fans to remove the moisture.

According to Chris Rosenblum, State College Area School District director of communications, some classes will be displaced for several days and alternate spaces for instruction, such as the library, auditorium and gymnasium, will be made available.

Classes resumed at 8 a.m. Oct. 26.

“We are grateful to be getting students and teacher back into full swing on Wednesday,” said Superintendent Bob O’Donnell. “In learning about the rainfall totals, we are thankful our situation was not worse.”

Businesses collecting for flood victims STATE COLLEGE — The Centre County Gazette, Centre Daily Times and State College Magazine are helping coordinate a county-wide effort with local businesses to collect funds and dry goods for the American Red Cross and the emergency food pantry at the Faith Centre in Bellefonte to help support flood victims in Milesburg and Howard.

The local chapter of the American Red Cross will provide donations cans and the media outlets are asking local businesses to place them in high traffic areas. For the food pantry, a box will be provided and all donated items will be picked up Monday, Oct. 31. Items needed are easily prepared, shelf-

stable microwavable meals, easy-open soup cans, single-serve oatmeal and cereal boxes, granola bars, peanut butter, shampoo and conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrushes and new socks.

The Gazette, at 403. S. Allen St., will be a donation point. Other donation points include Ace Hardware, The Borough of State College Building, the UPS store on North Atherton Street, the State Colelge Spikes’ “Safe and Seen” trick-or-treat event, and State College, Bellefonte and Philipsburg YMCA locations. Checks should be made out to the American Red Cross.

Ex-PSU Hazelton volleyball player found guilty of simple assault

By G. KERRY WEBSTER kerry.ccgazette@gmail.com

BELLEFONTE — A former player for the Penn State Hazelton volleyball team was found guilty by a Centre County jury of simple assault.

The single-day jury trial was held Oct. 17 before the Honorable Pamela A. Ruest.

Tiara Hernandez, 22, of State College, was found not guilty on charges of burglary and criminal trespassing.

According to police, the charges stem from an incident that occurred on June 3 when Hernandez and another woman got into an argument.

Police said Hernandez chased the woman back to her apartment, and followed her inside, where she assaulted the woman by punching her in the eye once

and the lip twice, then bit her back. Upon being notified of the alarm, an officer from the Patton Township Police Department responded, and eight days later, police were able to take Hernandez into custody at a State College business.

The victim suffered injuries and was transported to the Mount Nittany Medical Center emergency room for treatment. According to a press release from the Centre County District Attorney’s Office, she had a swollen face and left eye and her lip required several stitches. She had a black eye for about a week after the assault.

“We are pleased with the jury’s verdict and thank the jury for their service,” said Centre County District Attorney Stacey Parks Miller.

Sentencing is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 18, in Bellefonte.

End in sight for McQueary case against Penn State

ghbors.

By GEOFF RUSHTON statecollege.com

Your neighbors.

BELLEFONTE — The end is in sight for Mike McQueary’s whistle-blower and defamation lawsuit against Penn State.

Four years after the suit was first filed, specially presiding Judge Thomas Gavin told a Centre County jury Oct. 25 that he expects closing arguments on Thursday morning, Oct. 27, with deliberations to follow. Those remarks came immediately after McQueary attorney Elliot Strokoff rested the plaintiff’s case following more than six days of testimony. Attorneys for Penn State began calling witnesses on Tuesday and were expected to wrap up by the end of the day Oct. 26 (after Gazette press time).

A verdict will come just shy of the fifth anniversary of the grand jury presentment against Jerry Sandusky on child sex-

ual abuse charges. McQueary became a central figure in that case when it became known in November 2011 he was the unnamed Penn State graduate assistant who in 2001 reported to former university administrators Tim Curley and Gary Schultz seeing Sandusky with a boy in a locker room shower. A state prosecutor and investigator earlier in the trial described McQueary as “the linchpin” of the investigation and essential to the ultimate conviction of Sandusky on 45 counts in 2012.

McQueary, who became wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator in 2004, is suing Penn State on claims that former athletic director Curley and vice president Schultz misrepresented how they would handle his 2001 report; that former president Graham Spanier’s statement of support for Curley and Schultz caused harm to his reputation; and that the cumulative effect of Penn State’s actions, including

placing him on paid administrative leave and not renewing his contract, was retaliatory and harmed his ability to find employment.

He is seeking $4 million in lost career earnings and other damages. The jury will decide on McQueary’s defamation and misrepresentation claims, while Gavin will decide the whistleblower claim.

Penn State’s first witnesses were selfdescribed friends and former colleagues of McQueary at Penn State — Kirk Diehl and Brad “Spider” Caldwell.

Diehl, who through much of the 2000s was facilities coordinator for the football program, and Caldwell, the team’s longtime equipment manager, were part of a casual group of staff dubbed “The Lunch Bunch” that met in the Lasch Football Building several times a week for lunch and conversation.

That group included McQueary and for-

mer director of football operations Tom Venturino.

Under questioning from Penn State attorney Nancy Conrad, both said until it was reported in the media, they did not know McQueary was the grad assistant in the presentment.

That included when Spanier met with Athletic Department staff and, in part, relayed similar sentiments to the statement McQueary says defamed him, in which Spanier expressed his support for Curley and Schultz. Both Curley and Schultz were charged with perjury for allegedly lying to the grand jury about what McQueary reported to them “... I have complete confidence in how they have handled the allegations about a former University employee. ... Tim Curley and Gary Schultz operate at the highest McQueary, Page 8

McQueary, from page 7 levels of honesty, integrity and compassion. I am confident the record will show that these charges are groundless and that they conducted themselves professionally and appropriately,” Spanier said in the statement.

Diehl and Caldwell both said they had not seen that statement until last month, after they were subpoenaed for this trial. Both said at that point they still did not infer a reference to McQueary. Conrad has pressed that point in questioning with numerous witnesses throughout the trial as the university claims Spanier’s statement was not defamatory because it did not refer to McQueary and no one inferred that it did.

Both Diehl and Caldwell recalled a lunch conversation with McQueary sometime in the mid-2000s where the discussion turned to recently reported NCAA violations at another school. They talked about how they would report a violation to coach Joe Paterno.

“Mike said he saw something pretty devastating and went to Joe with it,” Diehl testified.

“I know Mike mentioned ‘I saw something that changed my life forever,’” Caldwell added. He said they pressed McQueary for details but he would not offer more information.

Both said they consider McQueary a friend and thought highly of him as a coach. Diehl said when he came into the courtroom Oct. 25 he shook McQueary’s hand and told him he loved him. On cross-examination from Strokoff, though, both said aside from bumping into him around town, they have not seen him socially since Penn State placed him on administrative leave on Nov. 11, 2011.

Then again, as they said on questioning by Conrad, they rarely saw each other socially outside the office before then. Looking to demonstrate that Penn State’s actions isolated McQueary from his former colleagues, Strokoff noted that in June 2012 a retirement party was held for Caldwell. Diehl said all former football lettermen were to

Diehl and Caldwell said no one ever told members of the football staff not to talk to McQueary. They did, however, say they were told in a meeting with university counsel to avoid speaking with him about his lawsuit.

Caldwell remembered being told by Venturino that McQueary was told he could not coach in the Nov. 12, 2011, game against Nebraska. He said he got in his car and cried.

“He just loved game days ... he loved signaling plays in,” Caldwell said, seemingly fighting back tears on the stand.

“I just knew it was killing him.”

“I feel bad for him. This whole thing is just a tragedy.”

Handle stress with moderate exercise By the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

A recent study by researchers at McMaster University in Canada indicated that heavy exertion while angry or stressed triples the chance of a heart attack. While the results would seem to discourage the idea of exercise as a stress-reliever, a deeper examination of the study validates what doctors have said for years: Moderate exercise is the best exercise.

The Ontario research included 12,461 people from 52 countries. The participants had suffered one heart attack and averaged 58 years of age. They were asked if they were angry or stressed in the hour before their heart attack and also if they participated in a strenuous activity during that time period.

Being angry or stressed doubled the chances of a heart attack, researchers found. Adding a strenuous activity — such as chopping wood or running 5 miles at a quick pace — made the risk three times greater than for a person who was not stressed or active at the time of their heart attack.

But there is no evidence that moderate exercise increases the chance of a cardiac event. Taking a leisurely stroll around the block or going for a bike ride can bring down blood pressure, and a consistent exercise program helps control many of the other risk factors that can cause a heart attack in the first place.

It is important to deal with stress and anger in a healthy way. Meditation and deep breathing are easy and effective responses. But so is a consistent, moderate exercise program. Walking or jogging with a friend or loved one is a good remedy for stress. It also, somehow, grants perspective and improves the day.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Take a stand and vote Four reasons to support Hillary Clinton smart in November “Remember tonight for it is the beginning of always.”

— Dante.

Never in our lifetimes have we witnessed a more contentious presidential election. Name-calling, mockery, bullying, accusation, physical threat, deception and excess — all part of what should be the most upstanding and principled contest in the world — have brought us to the brink of disaster. Such a disaster evokes Dante despondency, “We come to ourselves within a dark wood where the straight way is lost.”

How can we pull ourselves out of this dark wood, out of this vortex? To begin with, we can be courageous. We can take the high road. We can check the facts. And then we can take a stand and vote smart. A small investment in time will have a great pay-off for the future of our country.

What we don’t want four years hence is the echo of our arguably worst president. Warren Harding’s words are both a reflection and prescient: “I am not fit for this office and should never have been here.”

At a time when fabrications, half-truths and exaggeration have siphoned every minute of every day for more than a year, we must educate ourselves and vote our conscience. Let’s not equate loud with smart. Let’s not equate rich with successful. Let’s not equate self-aggrandizement with admiration. Let’s put the dignity back in the highest office in the land. Be smart! Don’t make a mistake in November. Vote smart! www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck.

the bill in June, his legal assistant Matt Miller told me, his office has been receiving 10 letters per day in support of the legislation from inmates, their families and prison reform activists.

But the legislative process grinds slowly.

First, the House Judiciary Committee would have to hold hearings before the bill could come up for a vote by the full House. The same process would have to play out in the state Senate — and there is as yet no companion bill in the Senate.

I speak for Subu Vedam here because he is the only Pennsylvania lifer whose story I know. There are 5,000 others, which makes our lifer population the second highest in the nation. We are one of 13 states that have mandatory LWOP sentences for firstdegree murder, according to the website Decarcerate PA. In contemporary Europe, the lock-’em-up-and-throwaway-the-key approach to crime and punishment is almost unheard of.

Keeping Subu and those like him in prison into their 50s, 60s and beyond for crimes they committed when they were young men without allowing them to make a case for their release is needless, wasteful and inhumane.

In Subu’s case, if he had been 18 instead of 19 when Kinser was killed he would already be eligible for a parole hearing thanks to a recent Supreme Court ruling that life sentences for juvenile offenders are unconstitutional.

An endless prison term, Subu told me in a recent letter, “is not what most people imagine. It’s watching your parents get older and realizing you will not be there to help them.

It’s watching your kids have problems and realizing that you cannot look out for them. It’s not bread and water.”

But it is cruel and unusual.

These are the most important reasons I am supporting Hillary Clinton and opposing Donald Trump: 1) Climate change: We can all see the effects of climate change.

2) The Supreme Court: Trump and the Republican Party would appoint justices who would erase gains of the last 50 years on issues that affect the rights of women, children and minorities.

3) Appropriate behavior: We need to be able to point to our leader and say to our children, “that’s the way to behave.” Trump lies, bullies, taunts and brags.

4) International credibility: The president of the United States must have the respect of leaders and citizens of other countries.

As secretary of state, Clinton has established respect around the world, while Trump is the object of ridicule and disbelief.

Link found between selfie viewing, decreased self-esteem

By AMANDA RAMCHARAN Penn State Live

UNIVERSITY PARK — Frequent viewing of selfies through social network sites like Facebook is linked to a decrease in self-esteem and life satisfaction, according to Penn State researchers in mass communications.

“Most of the research done on social network sites looks at the motivation for posting and liking content, but we’re now starting to look at the effect of viewing behavior,” said Ruoxu Wang, graduate student in mass communications.

Viewing behavior is called “lurking” when a person does not participate in posting or liking social content, but is just an observer. This form of participation in social media may sound like it should have little effect on how humans view themselves, but the study, published online in the Journal of Telematics and Informatics, revealed the exact opposite.

Wang and Fan Yang, graduate student in mass communications, conducted an online survey to collect data on the psychological effects of posting and viewing selfies and groupies. They worked with Wang’s graduate adviser, Michel Haigh, associate professor in communications.

Posting behavior did not have significant psychological effects for participants.

Viewing behavior did. They discovered the more often people viewed their own and others’ selfies, the lower their level of selfesteem and life satisfaction.

“People usually post selfies when they’re happy or having fun,” said Wang.

“This makes it easy for someone else to look at these pictures and think his or her life is not as great as theirs.”

Those participants categorized as having a strong desire to appear popular were even more sensitive to selfie and groupie viewing. In this case, however, selfie and groupie viewing behavior increased the self-esteem and life satisfaction for these participants, likely because this activity satisfied the participants’ desires to appear popular, according to the researchers.

Wang and Yang hope their work can raise awareness about social media use and the effect it has on viewers of people’s social networks.

“We don’t often think about how what we post affects the people around us,” said Yang. “I think this study can help people understand the potential consequences of their posting behavior. This can help counselors work with students feeling lonely, unpopular or unsatisfied with their lives.”

Understanding the role of Mount Nittany Physician Group genes in smoking addiction Cardiology earns reaccreditation

By MARJORIE S. MILLER Penn State Live

UNIVERSITY PARK — Thomas Gould hopes to better understand how genes influence nicotine-withdrawal symptoms in order to develop more effective smoking cessation programs.

Gould, the Jean Phillips Shibley Professor and head of the Department of Biobehavioral Health, recently received a fiveyear grant from the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute on Drug Abuse to examine changes in gene expression THOMAS GOULD during nicotine withdrawal by studying the impact nicotine has on mice.

Despite ever-increasing awareness of the negative health effects of smoking, and despite people’s best efforts to quit, smoking is still a problem in the United States, Gould said.

For smokers and users of other tobacco products, withdrawal from nicotine can cause changes in emotion and cognition, but not every smoker experiences the same symptoms.

“Eighteen to 20 percent of Americans are smokers,” Gould said. “Of smokers, about 60 to 70 percent want to quit. However, less than 5 percent are successful at quitting after one year.”

While there isn’t one explanation for why it is so difficult to quit smoking or why some people are successful and others are not, understanding genetics may be one

DESPITE EVER-INCREASING awareness of its negative health effects, smoking is still a problem in the United States. piece of the puzzle.

“I realized in addition to studying the effects of nicotine, it was also critical to understand genetic factors that tweak the effects of nicotine on learning and brain function,” Gould said.

Through this work, Gould aims to determine what genes make someone more susceptible to behavioral changes and how genes involved in forming memory are altered during nicotine withdrawal.

This could lead to personalized treatment based on genetic background.

Gould is a past president of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco and has been studying nicotine for nearly two decades.

Also on this project is David Goldman, chief of the Laboratory of Neurogenetics at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism at the NIH.

STATE COLLEGE — Mount Nittany Health recently announced that Mount Nittany Physician Group Cardiology has been granted a three-year term of reaccreditation in vascular testing by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission.

Accreditation by the IAC means the group has undergone a thorough review of its operational and technical components.

The IAC accreditation is a “seal of approval” granted only to those facilities that are found to be providing quality patient care, in compliance with national standards, through a comprehensive and detailed case review of vascular testing, according to a release from Mount Nittany Health.

Vascular testing can provide early detection of life-threatening cardiovascular diseases and conditions. Though the tests themselves are extremely helpful, other factors that contribute to an accurate diagnosis include the skill of the technologist, the type of equipment used, the background and knowledge of the interpreting physician, and quality assurance measures.

“We are extremely proud of this reaccreditation. It follows our mission to provide full vascular services to our patients and our community, including minimally invasive endovascular and surgical treat-

ment options,” said Dr. Jonathan Nachtigall, medical director of the cardiovascular testing facility at Mount Nittany Physician Group Cardiology.

IAC accreditation is widely respected within the medical community, as illustrated by the support of the national medical societies related to vascular testing, which include physicians and sonographers.

Vascular testing accreditation is required in some states and regions by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and by some private insurers. However, patients should remain vigilant in making sure that their vascular testing procedures are performed within accredited facilities, because for many facilities, accreditation remains a voluntary process.

IAC provides accreditation programs for vascular testing, echocardiology, nuclear/PET, MRI, diagnostic CT, dental CT, carotid stenting, vein treatment and management and cardiac electrophysiology.

The IAC programs for accreditation are dedicated to ensuring quality patient care and promoting health care, and all support one common mission of improving health care through accreditation.

Gleaning meaning in studies of human health and behavior UNIVERSITY PARK — Two teenagers try cigarettes at a party. A few years later, one has become a pack-a-day smoker. The other smokes now and then. Why is one addicted to nicotine, while the other can take it or leave it?

These types of questions can be almost impossible to answer given the many factors — age, diet, stress level, family history, socioeconomic level and so on — that influence human health and conduct.

“If you’re studying plants, you can set up the experiment so the plants are all the same except for the one variable you want to study,” said Linda Collins, director of the Methodology Center in the College of Health and Human Development at Penn State. “Plants also won’t get up and walk away, or refuse to participate in the study. But humans are complex creatures; they’re difficult to study.”

Collins and her colleagues in the Methodology Center invent new ways to design experiments and analyze complex data, often adapting existing statistical methods and applying them, for the first time, to thorny problems in behavioral and medical science. Their work enables scientists at Penn State and around the world to answer questions that could not have been answered before.

The American Heart Association/ American Stroke Association has issued its first guidelines on adult stroke rehabilitation calling for intensive, multidisciplinary treatment.

Center researchers expanded the use of a technique called latent class analysis to study links between teen alcohol use and sexual activity. The technique, which allows investigators to identify potentially significant subgroups within a population of interest that are not immediately obvious, helped them pinpoint what drinking behaviors are more likely to lead to risky sexual behavior by teens.

Now, center researchers are pioneering methods to create an online intervention to prevent those behaviors in college students. Their ultimate goal is to curb the spread of sexually-transmitted infections.

“First, we want to determine the effectiveness of the various components of the intervention,” said Collins, who is leading the effort. One component is a lesson on how to

Dermatology practice welcomes Loretta Pratt STATE COLLEGE — Mount Nittany Health has announced the addition of Dr. Loretta Pratt to Mount Nittany Physician Group Dermatology.

“My philosophy of care is to treat not just a patient’s symptoms, but the whole person,” said Pratt. “I take into consideration emotional, nutritional, psychosocial and environmental factors that can, at times, contribute to dermatological conditions and influence the healing process.”

LORETTA PRATT Pratt received her medical degree from Mount Sinai School of Medicine. She is board-certified in both internal medicine and dermatology, completing her residencies at Beth Israel Hospital and Cornell Medical Center, respectively.

Pratt is a member of the American Medical Association, American Academy of Dermatology, American Academy of Dermatologic Surgery, College of Physicians of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Academy of Dermatology and the Pennsylvania Medical Society.

“As a physician, my inspiration comes from seeing my patients healed from various dermatological conditions, achieving early detection and treatment of skin cancers, and helping patients to be more comfortable in their own skin, which helps to improve quality of life,” said Pratt.

Pratt joins the dermatology practice in its new location at Mount Nittany Health Park Avenue, Suite 312.

stay safe while having a good time. Another describes the behavior of participants’ peers regarding alcohol use and unprotected sex.

Collins and her colleagues assign all possible combinations of the components to different study participants.

They then survey participants before, during and after the assigned intervention to see which components have the best outcomes regarding alcohol use and sexual activity.

The researchers will then revise or eliminate the components that are less effective, and repeat the experiment, eventually zeroing in on the best combination. “After it’s tested and we have a final product, the intervention could potentially be implemented widely in universities across the nation,” said Collins.

SHARING THEIR SKILLS

The center offers resources for scientists through its website, including instructional videos and software programs that are available as free downloads, and provides training in the form of courses, seminars and workshops for faculty and graduate students at Penn State and elsewhere.

The center’s work is especially valuable for medical and social scientists trying to bridge the gap between research and practical application. For example, half of those addicted to opiate analgesics — morphine, methadone and oxycodone — relapse within three months of being released from a drug rehabilitation center.

The sooner those individuals can be identified, the sooner their treatment can be adjusted to make relapse less likely. Is it possible to predict who will relapse and who won’t, as early as their first days in rehab? Roger Meyer, professor of psychiatry at Penn State Hershey Medical Center, thinks it is.

“Our hope is that by examining changes in patient mood, stress, craving for drug and sleep we will be able to predict with 90 percent accuracy which patients are likely to relapse, so we can do a better job of helping treatment facilities help patients,” he said.

Meyer is working with Stephanie Lanza, scientific director of the Methodology Center, to gather the complex data needed to reveal who is most likely to relapse. They are using a time-varying effect model, which Lanza created with center investigator Runze Li, to examine differences in relapse rate associated with a variety of factors that shift over time. Ultimately, the team hopes to provide rehabilitation centers with tools that will enable them to better assist their patients.

Love of music inspires St. Joseph’s a cappella group Special to the Gazette BOALSBURG — As an aspiring music teacher and president of St. Joseph’s Catholic Academy’s a cappella group, senior Anna Henderson is already getting hands-on experience in her career.

“Being president of the group has been such a gift,” she said.

“It gives me a glimpse into what life will be like as a music teacher since I am able to lead our warmups and rehearsals. It’s also given me leadership qualities that I know will help me after I graduate.”

Henderson is an original member of the group, which is led by choral and theater director Joe Hergenreder.

“Since I’ve had the privilege of leading this group since it began, my favorite aspect has been seeing it grow,” said Hergenreder. “I am always feverous at the end of each year when I think about the senior talent we’ll be losing, but

the group has continued to grow with every incoming class.”

Henderson attributes the group’s success to the tight bonds formed among members, and the traditions they’ve established in the school’s short history.

“I love the close-knit community we’ve built. Everyone is so supportive of each member in the group,” she said. “If one member is nervous about auditioning for a solo, we all offer encouragement and stand next to him or her while they sing for moral support.

“One of the great gifts of music is that it unites and connects people. Our a cappella group has formed relationships that will last a lifetime.”

The a cappella group has a tradition that reminds graduating seniors of the special experience they’ve had. Beginning at the school’s first graduation ceremony, and at least once every year during different performances, the group performs

its own version of the Imagine Dragons song “Demons.” At the 2015 graduation, the group sang “Wavin’ Flag” by K’Naan, and the members sang “Home” by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros at the 2016 graduation.

“The unique arrangement we created incorporates The Beatles’ ‘Let it Be.’ It has so much meaning for us. Every year, it lets us remember past members, and sends our seniors off knowing we’ll continue to remember them,” said Henderson. “Singing it at all three graduations so far have been my favorite performances.”

Hergenreder agrees. “They are highly emotional because it’s the last time the seniors will perform with the group. It’s bittersweet to think about how far they’ve come and how much they have to look forward to.”

The group meets twice per week during school hours and once a week after school. Hergenreder is considering entering

has graduated 12 alumni, one of whom is studying music education, and several others who continue to perform in choirs and other musical groups.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Since 2008, the Paterno Fellows Program — offered by the Penn State College of the Liberal Arts — has been challenging students to reach their highest levels of academic achievement and distinguish themselves in areas traditionally associated with the liberal arts: ethics, service and leadership, excellence in communication and intercultural awareness.

The honors experience extends beyond the classroom by offering enriching internship, study abroad and research opportunities. It is also one of the only pathways at Penn State for students not initially admitted as honors students to demonstrate their potential and earn their way into the Schreyer Honors College.

Jule Walsh, a 2016 graduate, used her internships and study abroad experiences as a Paterno Fellow to solidify her decision to attend law school after graduation. Walsh’s story is an example of how the Paterno Fellows Program supports students as they seek to advance their professional ambitions while working in service of something larger than themselves.

Walsh entered Penn State as a history major. “I grew up going to Colonial Williamsburg with my family pretty much every summer,” Walsh said. “I always enjoyed the historic aspect of being there, which really helped shape my interest in history as a major.”

Adding anthropology as a major seemed like a natural progression, Walsh said. Whereas history allowed her to study past events, “anthropology gave me the chance to study what shapes the way we are as a culture.” The reason for adding a political science major, meanwhile, was simple: “I’ve always been interested in learning more about the inner workings of government,” she said.

As a Paterno Fellow, Walsh had the chance to explore

her interest in government even further as an intern for U.S. Sen. Robert Casey. “I really enjoyed learning about the legislation and the process behind it,” she said. “Now when I see or hear what’s going on in Congress, I have a better perspective on what’s going on behind closed doors.”

Being a Paterno Fellow also gave Walsh the opportunity to spend six weeks in Sri Lanka interning for the Malini Foundation — a nonprofit dedicated to providing a healthy, sustainable living environment for impoverished girls in that country. “I always wanted to learn more about nonprofits and how they operated, but not necessarily in a way it would normally be taught,” she said. “Having the opportunity to travel to Sri Lanka was amazing.”

While Walsh had already been accepted into the Schreyer Honors College before starting classes, it wasn’t until she set foot on campus that she learned of the Paterno Fellows Program. As soon as she heard it about the program, however, she knew she wanted to apply. “I thought the program would challenge me to do things that I’m not sure I would have necessarily done otherwise,” she said.

In addition to the internship and study abroad experience — as well as another internship with Schreyer Honors College Career Services — Walsh said the Paterno Fellows Program always offered a host of workshops and speakers series, along with opportunities to network with “amazing professors and alumni.”

Walsh realizes that the requirements needed to graduate as a Paterno Fellow were meant to challenge students, but she also understands and appreciates why those requirements were selected. “I definitely feel as though being a Paterno Fellow has given me a leg up on other students going into law school,” she said.

CPI students save hydraulic system PLEASANT GAP — Students in Central Pennsylvania Institute of Science and Technology’s adult and post-secondary diesel technology program are learning the importance of thorough preventative maintenance inspections.

The Case 1150K bulldozer from the CPI heavy equipment operation program was scheduled for a standard oil change, and will leave with a freshly rebuilt hydraulic pump.

Upon inspection, students found a moderate hydraulic leak underneath the cab of the machine. After thoroughly checking all hoses and connections, it was determined the leak was coming from the hydraulic pump. Once the pump was removed and disassembled, the students found the early signs of a catastrophic hydraulic failure.

“This project shows the importance of thorough inspections,” said Andy King, post-secondary diesel technology instructor. “If the students would have ignored the leak, the dozer would have had a total hydraulic failure in the near future. Thorough inspections can save the ‘customer’ a significant amount of money.”

Students enrolled in this 11-month program receive instruction in basic engines, brake systems, hydraulics, electrical systems, torque converters and power transmissions, engine overhaul, fuel systems and air conditioning.

Students learn how to service, troubleshoot, diagnose and repair diesel engine-powered equipment and have the

Vintage Halloween items are popular collectibles

By LEE CARPENTER, NANCY WOOMER and LINDA WILSON Apple Hill Antiques

Antique and vintage Halloween collectibles are among the most actively sought of holiday collectibles — perhaps second only to those who collect antique and vintage Christmas items.

Postcards, tin toys, lanterns, candy containers, masks and costumes, die cuts and cardboard figures with and without honeycomb and candles were many of the choices mass-manufactured across many years. They were made on several continents and by many companies, including the best known, Dennison and Beistle. Today, many of the pieces are regarded as highly collectible.

One of the most visually appealing and collectible Halloween items is the lantern. Halloween lanterns were used to light the way from house to house during trick-or-treat, or placed in the window to invite children and parents to stop by, ring the doorbell and ask for a treat.

Depending on the era, children could expect to receive candy in a composition container shaped like a pumpkin man/woman, skeleton or witch. Later, these containers were made of tin or plastic and then, perhaps more familiar to baby boomers, the classic small paper bag covered with Halloween graphics and filled with candy.

Here, we share information on lanterns and candy containers, and wish we had more space to do so because there’s so much to be said. (If Halloween collectibles are your passion, several good guides are available, including Schneider’s “Halloween in America.”)

The shapes taken by Halloween lanterns and candy containers are usually the same: black cats, jack-o’-lanterns, skulls, witches, owls and devils. Some of the older lanterns from Germany are made of molded paper and are of skulls, pumpkins, cat heads or cats on a fence and witches. Those made of paperboard and thin paper had die cuts of witches, devils, cats and owls, among other Halloween shapes, on one of each of the lantern’s four sides. A thin wire at the top served as a handle.

Some lanterns are two-sided, with each side the same — skulls, cats, witches. Tissue paper covers the eye and mouth areas so that light can shine through. Tissue paper was inset at the eye and mouth areas — sometimes one

color and sometimes printed with eyes and teeth. Also popular are the Japanese-style lanterns, some shaped like pumpkins or cats, and some with Halloween graphics on all sides.

In the 1960s, lanterns made in Hong Kong were batterypowered — a battery was housed in the black enameled base and the top was a glass pumpkin/skull/witch. These are very collectible, but hard to find in working condition.

Early candy containers were often made of glass or molded paper and, later, of plastic and tin. Early containers are usually painted full figures — pumpkins, witches and cats with bodies — and some have nodder heads.

Candy was kept inside via a thin paper bottom, or the heads could be pulled off to allow access to treats.

Later, Rosen and other U.S. companies made small plastic containers shaped like witches or cats carrying pumpkins that could contain candy. One made of tin in the 1950s by the U.S. Metal Toy Co. was shaped like a pumpkin and covered with Halloween graphics, and its nose was a whistle.

Early lanterns and candy containers made of molded paper or paperboard and tissue paper become fragile over time, so it’s difficult to find examples in perfect condition.

Those made of paperboard and tissue paper also are fragile — eye and mouth coverings are sometimes loose and often missing.

Examples that have at least some of these features in near intact condition are desirable.

Nicks and dings are to be expected since these were used and played with, but large tears and missing pieces mean lower values. Overall, though, the fact that Halloween collectibles remain so sought-after means that even in fair to poor condition, collectors will often buy examples just to have them.

Candy containers and lanterns are so popular with collectors that modern companies have made new versions that look vintage. Many of these are made well — Christopher Radko’s series of small and large candy containers are shaped like cats, pumpkins, skulls and witches and covered in glitter. Even though new, these Radko containers are very popular with collectors.

The two-sided and composition lanterns are being remade, as well. Aging processes that are part of the manu-

Cooper earns Eagle Scout Award STATE COLLEGE — Matthew Cooper, of State College Boy Scout Troop 32, recently received his Eagle Scout Award at a Court of Honor Ceremony at Orchard Park Pavilion.

Cooper, son of Michael and Dawn Cooper, spent 76 nights camping while a member of Troop 32 and was awarded 29 merit badges. He joined other members of his troop in a high-adventure trip to Florida, camping and snorkeling in the Everglades.

Cooper served his troop as scribe, patrol leader and chaplain’s aide.

For his Eagle Scout service project, he coordinated and staffed the dog watering stations at the Central Pennsylvania 4thFest. These stations then became a permanent feature of the 4thFest.

He served on the 4thFest Celebrations Committee to continue the coordination, and plans to do the same while a resident of State College. Following his high school graduation in 2017, he plans to attend Penn State University.

Remarks and presentations were by Terrie Henrickson, of the Nittany Leathernecks; Pam Decker, of Central Pennsylvania 4thFest; John Gardner, State College chief of police; Mark Higgins, Centre County commissioner; Bryan Sampsell, Centre County sheriff; U.S. Rep.

Study-abroad program offers insight on Sweden

By LISA BENNATAN Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — A select group of Penn State students will be voyaging to Sweden for 10 days this upcoming “Maymester” through the 1-year-old Human Resource Management in a Social Welfare Context: The Swedish Experience course.

This study-abroad program is unique because it is an interdisciplinary trip between two colleges, the College of Health and Human Development and the College of the Liberal Arts, which both built relationships with Jönköping University and Gothenberg University.

During last year’s trip, the students visited organizations such as Volvo and IKEA to understand their perspectives on challenges and opportunities of human

resource management and health care in Sweden.

Diane Spokus, senior instructor and associate director of undergraduate professional development from the Department of Health Policy and Administration, teamed up with Elaine Farndale, associate professor of human resource management from the Center for International Human Resource Management, to guide these students.

Spokus said that Sweden is a particularly interesting country for students to study from HRM and health care perspectives.

“The social welfare society stands in contrast to many of the approaches taken to HRM in the USA. It is also an ideal setting in which to study HRM from a health care perspective, again because of the interesting systems they have in place

Spokus also explained how expansive organizations are becoming.

“Since many organizations today in all industry clusters are global, it is imperative that students learn about HRM practices in other cultures,” said Spokus.

Upon leaving the program, students should be able to demonstrate knowledge of HRM applied in a range of organizations in a social welfare context, compare and contrast the institutional and cultural contexts of the U.S. and Sweden and to demonstrate intercultural competencies that can be applied throughout a later career life.

Forndale emphasized the opportunity Sweden presents for an overall great ex-

perience.

“The opportunity to travel overseas and to experience study, business, and life in another country is an amazing learning experience that stays with you for life,” said Forndale.

Swedish Experience course student Anna Farnsworth agreed.

“A short 10-day exposure to Swedish culture, classrooms and people provided me with uncanny insight which has indisputably shaped my outlook and is precisely why I found the course to be an invaluable part of my college learning experience,” said Farnsworth.

For this year’s trip, Spokus will be joined

by Sumita Raghuram, associate professor of HRM and Asian studies in the School of Labor and Employment Relations.

PSU professor will present lecture on LGBT lives

By MARJORIE S. MILLER Penn State Live

UNIVERSITY PARK — Anthony D’Augelli, professor of human development and family studies at Penn State, will present the 2016 Pauline Schmitt Russell Research Lecture, “The Kindness of Strangers: Conducting Research on LGBT Lives,” at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 8, at the Bennett Pierce Living Center, 110 Henderson Building, on the University Park campus.

The event, sponsored by the College of Health and Human Development, is free and open to the public. A reception will be held at 3:30 p.m.

D’Augelli is a national and international expert on the lives of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender people. His conceptual and empirical work in these areas has inspired a new generation of researchers dedicated to the study of LGBT issues.

D’Augelli’s presentation will describe the chronology of his research, which began in the mid-1980s and continues today. He will discuss the inspiration behind his research, the complications of conducting this research, and the impact of his work.

“The Kindness of Strangers” refers to

D’Augelli’s experience discovering a hidden and apprehensive population of LGBT people to study, and how they risked family rejection, victimization and hate crimes by sharing their personal experiences and making their sexuality known.

His work is the foundation for a new generation of social scientists seeking federal support for research on LGBT people.

“I was trying to do research on a population that at the time, was hard to reach and afraid to be known,” he said. “Finding samples was difficult. Many of these early study subjects were harmed by others, so to recall their experiences was particularly painful for them. I made it clear to participants in my research that I would be an advocate for them.”

In addition to the study participants who came forward to help make D’Augelli’s work possible, the “Kindness of Strangers” also refers to agencies across the country that helped him apply for and receive federal funding for his research. One agency included the Hetrick-Martin Institute in New York, which provides counseling and legal assistance to LGBT youth.

“Being part of the LGBT community has been crucial,” D’Augelli said. “I have a personal commitment to the community through contributing to this growing

field of research and accurately portraying LGBT lives. Social change builds on this cumulative research.”

D’Augelli started his work with the LGBT community as a faculty adviser to Penn State’s LGBT student group in the late 1980s; he served ANTHONY for 10 years. In that D’AUGELLI role, he heard students’ stories of abuse on campus as well as painful challenges faced while students were still in high school. This was the impetus for his first studies.

He started collecting information about students’ experiences on campus to convince administrators to take these students’ lives seriously, and to be responsible for assuring them both safety and security. He published his first research paper on the experiences of Penn State students in 1989.

Since then, much of D’Augelli’s research has appeared in community and clinical psychology journals. Out of 175 publications, 108 are lead-authored. He

has co-edited four edited volumes that summarize the state of the research on LGBT people.

Additionally, D’Augelli has taught the Sexual Identity Over the Lifespan course in the Department of Human Development and Family Studies for more than 25 years.

In 2016, D’Augelli received the Outstanding Service Award for faculty presented by Penn State’s Commission on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Equity.

D’Augelli received his bachelor of arts degree from New College of Hofstra University, and his doctoral degree in clinical/ community psychology from the University of Connecticut. He joined HDFS in 1972.

The Schmitt Russell Research Lecture is delivered each year by the most recent recipient of the Pauline Schmitt Russell Distinguished Research Achievement Award, which recognizes the career-long research contributions of a distinguished faculty member whose research has had a profound impact on an identified field of study.

The award was established by Leo P. Russell, a 1941 industrial engineering graduate, to honor his late wife, Pauline Schmitt Russell, who received her home economics degree from Penn State in 1948.

Researchers study effects of incarceration on women

By KRISTIE AUMAN-BAUER Penn State Live

The number of women in prison has increased dramatically in the last several decades, yet there is little research into women’s experiences in prison and how it affects their families.

Derek Kreager, professor of sociology and criminology at Penn State, and a multi-institutional team of researchers will explore the prison and re-entry experiences of women incarcerated in two Pennsylvania prisons in a three-year project funded by the National Institute of Justice.

After several years of focusing on incarcerated men, for the first time Kreager and his research team will explore the social landscape in women’s prisons. “There hasn’t been a lot of research into women’s experiences of being incarcerated, released or being reincarcerated,” Kreager said. “We also don’t know about the effects incarceration has on their families, including their children, as many of the women are mothers.”

The impact of female incarceration on child well-being is of particular concern, as incarcerated women are much more likely than their male counterparts to be primary

caregivers of minor children at the time of their imprisonment.

“Previous research indicates that if a mother becomes incarcerated, it increases the child’s risk of entry into the foster care system, which can further disrupt child well-being,” said Kreager, who is also a cofunded faculty member of the Child, Youth and Family Consortium, which is a part of Penn State’s Social Science Research Institute.

In the first phase of the project, the research team will work with prison staff to identify one unit in each of the prisons to conduct approximately 100 to 200 network and health interviews. The researchers will analyze the data to reveal the unit’s friendship network, hierarchy and romantic ties, as well as to find associations between inmate networks and prison health outcomes.

In phase two, parole-eligible respondents will be interviewed about their future expectations and preparations for community re-entry. “This will give us a unique glimpse into the reentry process women undergo after being incarcerated and how it affects family reintegration, employment, post-release program participation and relapse,” Kreager said.

Additionally, child and caregiver interviews will be conducted for inmate respondents who are mothers. According to Kreager, “These interviews will capture the well-being, fears, aspirations and preparation of inmates’ families and surrogate parents prior to prison release.”

During the final phase of the project, the researchers will interview the previously imprisoned women to understand how they, their children and caregivers have adjusted to life after prison and if they were able to achieve their previously stated goals. The researchers will also compare the factors underlying successful re-entry into society versus those who again become incarcerated.

The process will be repeated for the second prison site in the second year of the project. “One of the prisons will be low security with inmates serving shorter sentences, while the other will be high security

with long-term inmates, so it will be interesting to see the differences in social structure and outcomes,” said Kreager.

He also expects to see several differences from his previous work with incarcerated men. “We know that incarcerated women are dealing with more victimization experiences and mental health and substance abuse issues. Often they have children they are the caregivers of, so we will learn more about child custody issues, the foster system and child protective services,” Kreager explained. “Additionally, from what we’ve observed there is often a clear hierarchy in men’s prisons, while in women’s prisons there are more groups.

Women tend to form more pseudo-families in prison, but with so many distinct groups there is also an increased chance for more tensions.”

The researchers hope their work will affect policies for prisoner reentry and provide additional information that began with previous studies.

“We’ll be getting this information in the women’s own words, which has been missing in previous research, so we’ll have a better understanding of what they are going through and what they are feeling,” said Kreager.

Other researchers on the project include Gary Zajac, director of Penn State’s Justice Center for Research; Dana Haynie, professor and director of the Criminal Justice Research Center at Ohio State; Sara Wakefield, associate professor of criminal justice at Rutgers University; and Michaela Soyer, assistant professor of sociology at Hunter College.

The project also involves the following Penn State criminology graduate students and research associates: Corey Whichard, Kim Davidson, Ted Greenfelder, Brianna Jackson, Elaine Arsenault and Gerardo Cuevas.

The researchers worked with the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections’ Office of Planning, Research, Statistics and Grants to obtain approval and support for the project, while the Justice Center for Research in the College of the Liberal Arts provided seed funding.

Turkey Trot to benefit local charity PORT MATILDA — The seventh annual Geisinger Turkey Trot 5K Walk and Fun Run will be held at 9 a.m., Saturday, Nov. 19, at three locations, including Port Matilda.

Penns Valley Spotlight Penns Valley hosts marching band festival

By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SPRING MILLS — On a clear autumn night in Penns Valley on Oct. 15, as the full moon rose in the east, the sound of blaring brass, woodwinds and percussion delighted a crowd of nearly 1,000 people at the Penns Valley High School stadium during the 2016 Centre/Clearfield County Marching Band Festival.

Nine marching bands, from Bellefonte, Bald Eagle, Penns Valley, Clearfield, Curwensville, Glendale, Moshannon Valley, West Branch and Philipsburg-Osceola high schools, participated in the non-competitive event, performing their 2016 halftime field shows for the crowd.

The festival showcased high school marching bands from the two counties,

giving them the opportunity to perform for the public in a band-only event. The show location rotates between counties and schools each year, and serves as a fundraiser for the host band.

This was the first time Penns Valley hosted the event, and band director Darris DeRemer was enthusiastic. “It’s great to have an event where bands are the focus,” he said in an earlier interview.

The first band to perform on the field was the West Branch Warrior Band, led by drum major Caitlyn Krupa, with its show, “Flashback Friday.” West Branch featured songs by talented musicians who have passed on. The band wore red, white and blue ribbons in honor of West Branch class of 2001 graduate Don Whipple, who was killed in an automobile accident in August.

Eight other bands followed in turn, performing shows with a wide variety of themes. Several played rock classics, such as the music of Queen, Motown groups of the 1960s and the more contemporary music of Green Day. With a hint of things to come, the Bellefonte band’s show, “A Celebration of Winter,” featured songs such as “Let It Snow,” “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” “Winter Wonderland” and “Jingle Bells.”

All the shows featured constant, intricate movement of band members in and out of various formations, while playing their music.

The bands received appreciative applause and cheering from the large crowd of spectators, with the loudest cheers came from members of the other bands in a great show of support for their fellow musicians, majorettes and flag bearers.

As the host band, Penns Valley was the last to take the field. The group performed its 2016 show, featuring music from the Broadway show “Wicked.”

Following the show, Penns Valley School District superintendent Brian Griffith awarded drum majors from all the bands plaques for the bands’ participation in the festival.

Family-friendly tips to transform your home this season Transition your interior décor when temperatures drop — it’s a great time to tap into your creativity and make a statement. Here are some ideas — big and small — to freshen up your home this season.

■ Play with colors When the weather is cool, think rich colors like plum, navy and amber. Bringing in a unique color palette will inspire you to make other changes as well, from painting a fireplace to adding an accent wall to incorporating a tile backsplash.

■ Make over a room with carpet Make your home cozier by installing a soft, durable carpet. Just remember to consider your household dynamics when making a selection.

“Those with pets or children will want to keep in mind that spills and stains can be a common occurrence and select a family-friendly carpet,” said Jennifer Bertrand, a designer for Flooring America and Flooring Canada.

■ Add pillows Have fun turning vintage wool blankets into pillows.

Or, if you just want to purchase items, seek out plaid patterns or materials that are full of textures and heavier weights.

If you have pets, be wary of knit pillows, as animal hair can get stuck in the material. Look for tight weave fabric to fit into your lifestyle.

■ Capture some art Update your framed photos around the house. If you

Extreme temperatures — hot or cold — can send your energy bills through the roof, while also creating an uncomfortable living space for your family.

Almost two-thirds of American adults live in a home that needs weatherization, according to a recent online survey commissioned by Duck brand and conducted by Harris Poll.

To bring down energy costs and make the temperature in your home more comfortable, consider defending your home with helpful tools like window kits, draft seals, socket sealers and attic stairway covers. You can also adjust ceiling fans, install a programmable thermostat and open or close curtains to leverage sunlight and shade.

TEAMS IN

Newly ranked Lions must guard against upset at struggling Purdue

By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — It was a White Out on a chilly October night. Highly ranked Ohio State was at Beaver Stadium to take on unranked Penn State. The Buckeyes got up big, but Penn State roared back with 17 unanswered second-half points.

If that seems like a recap of Ohio State’s overtime victory in 2014, it is.

It is also the bones of the incredible Oct. 22 game this year, and this one had one gigantic difference from 2014. Those 17 unanswered points didn’t result in a tie game; they gave the Nittany Lions a 24-21 lead that the PSU defense protected with two crucial sacks of OSU quarterback J.T. Barrett on the Buckeyes’ final possession.

The Buckeyes had not lost on the road in their last 20 games, and they seemed like a team destined to take that last drive all the way for the win.

Not this time. Those two sacks allowed Penn State to hold on for its most significant home win since at least 2005.

The list of big players and big plays for Penn State is long, but it has to start with Grant Haley’s 60-yard touchdown return of a blocked OSU field goal attempt with 4:27 remaining to play.

Marcus Allen blocked Tyler Durbin’s attempt, the ball bounced back toward the sideline and was scooped up by Haley and returned all the way to the end zone for Penn State’s first lead of the night.

Ohio State began to march back with a 15-yard pass to Samuel Curtis, but the Lions’ defense would not be denied. On a first down from the OSU 42, Barrett threw an incomplete pass. Then another one on second down. On third down, Jason Cabinda sacked Barrett for a 13-yard loss, and then on fourth down, Evan Schwan and Kevin Givens got him for another 6-yard loss.

Kneel-down time for Trace McSorley set off a wild celebration as the white-dressed Penn State fans began to run onto the field.

“I’ve worked in every major conference, as well as the NFL,” a very happy Penn State coach James Franklin said, “and I

can’t imagine there’s a better environment than what that was out there tonight, so I just couldn’t be more proud.

This is for everybody. This community has been through so much in the last five years, and this is a big step in the right direction in terms of healing.”

There is no question that this win will be remembered and savored by Penn State fans for a long time to come. And Haley’s return will rerun for years on highlight films.

Unfortunately, the team and its coaches really didn’t have much time for all of that because the season now moves on to West Lafayette, Ind., and the Purdue Boilermakers.

Purdue is a team in transition in more ways than one, and on paper, the Boilermakers look like a good mark for the Lions to pick up their sixth win.

Yet the annals of upsets are filled with teams that have survived important, emotional wins one week and then fallen to underdog opponents the next.

Ask Ohio State.

After Purdue’s loss to Iowa on Oct. 15 dropped its record to 3-3 and 1-2 in the Big Ten, the school replaced head coach Darrell Hazell with assistant coach Garad Parker, who took over as interim head coach.

Parker’s first outing as coach came at undefeated Nebraska, and the Boilers got off to a fast start and led the game by four points going into halftime. Nebraska righted itself after the break, though, and scored the final 17 points of the game to win going away, 27-14.

Still, Purdue quarterback David Blough completed 25 of 43 passes for 309 yards and both Boilermaker touchdowns. Nebraska rebounded because it was able to stop the Purdue running game (just 24 net yards) and then started to get to Blough with three sacks and an interception in the second half.

For the season, Purdue runs for 120 yards per game, and Blough’s passing attack adds another 306 yards every time out for

TIM WEIGHT/ For the Gazette

PENN STATE’S Grant Haley celebrates after his dramatic 60yard touchdown return of a blocked field goal that put the Nittany Lions ahead against Ohio State on Oct. 22 at Beaver Stadium.

a total of 426. Blough has also thrown 14 touchdowns, but he has also been intercepted 11 times.

Sophomore Markell Jones, 5-foot-11, 210 pounds, leads Purdue in rushing with 92 carries for 408 yards and two touchdowns. Blough is also on the rushing list, at No. 4, with 142 yards on 41 carries and three touchdowns.

DeAngelo Yancy tops the receivers with 28 catches for 491 yards and five scores, with Domonique Young second with 29 catches for 339 yards.

Defensively, Purdue seems somewhat vulnerable to the run. Teams are averaging just under 250 yards per game and have scored 16 touchdowns. The Boilers’ pass defense is better with 192 yards per game and 13 scores, but the total yardage is high at 441 per game.

Purdue does have 11 sacks for 96 yards, five interceptions and three fumble recoveries.

Besides the loss to Nebraska, Purdue also lost to Cincinnati, 38-20, Maryland, 50-7, and Iowa, 49-35. The wins are over Eastern Kentucky, Nevada and Illinois in overtime.

“I thought the guys communicated to each other, our energy on the sideline was better,” new coach Parker said after the Nebraska game. “We want to make it whether it goes good or bad, we can just keep going. That’s what everyone wants to see, administration down, that’s what the fans want and need to see and that’s what our football team needs to do in order for us to get where we want to go. No question about it, it was good to see today and that’s what we want to expect and demand of the team.”

For Penn State, the trip after a game like Ohio State will not be easy. The Nittany Lions won despite lagging behind in almost every statistic — except for blocked kicks, of course — turning the ball over on a muffed punt return, having a field goal blocked of their own, and giving up a safety on a bad snap.

There were also many encouraging signs.

Getting Cabinda and Brandon Bell back from injury helped immensely — the two combined for 31 tackles — and will going into the future.

The offensive line surrendered just one sack, and the defensive line was all that the Buckeyes could handle and more.

Good, bad and ugly: Too many positives to mention them all

Penn State 24, No. 2 Ohio State 21.

That this game was filled with good things about the Lions’ performance is probably a gross understatement.

There are also some bad and ugly things to throw in as well.

■ The good — Where to start? Grant Haley’s return would have to be mentioned first, of course, right behind Marcus Allen‘s block of the Ohio State field goal.

There was also the last-minute drive just before halftime that ended with a 20-yard pass from Trace McSorley to Chris Godwin and kept the Lions in the game at 12-7.

We can’t forget McSorley’s fourth-quarter dive for the goal-line marker, and then linebacker Cam Brown’s blocked punt.

Jason Cabinda and Brandon Bell combined for 31 tackles, and it was Cabinda’s sack of J.T. Barrett that brought PSU to the edge of victory. Kevin Givens and Evan Schwan took care of that on the next play.

Finally, there were 107,000 White Out fans who created an almost surreal atmosphere and who certainly contributed to the Nittany Lion win.

■ The bad — Not a great night to be flipping around a football. The game featured two muffed punts, three blocked kicks, a snap out of the end zone for a safety and more than a few dropped passes by both teams.

■ The ugly — The weather. Cold, wind, rain in sideways sheets, and, did I mention the wind? The conditions were the same for both teams, though, and in the end the vagaries of the weather more or less evened out.

But it’s only October! Penn State has four games still to play in November after the Purdue game.

TIM WEIGHT/For the Gazette

PENN STATE’S Marcus Allen (2) blocks a field goal attempt by Ohio State’s Tyler Durbin (92) on Oct. 22. Grant Haley returned the ball for a Penn State touchdown.

Transition, from page 19 Perhaps as important as anything was the fact that Penn State kept OSU from scoring in the final 22 minutes of the game.

Penn State crept into the AP Top 25 at No. 24 this week, the first time the

team has been ranked since Franklin became head coach.

In order to keep that ranking and keep the improvement curve moving up for this team, the Purdue game looms as big as any the Lions have played so far.

Can Penn State run the table after big win?

By BEN JONES statecollege.com

In 2005, it was Ohio State.

But then it was Michigan.

In 2008, it was Ohio State.

But then it was a bye week, and then Iowa.

And that’s the challenge that comes with a big win, following it up with a normal win, a victory against the teams you already expected to beat. In the case of 2005, facing Michigan in Ann Arbor was hardly automatic, but in 2008 even a still probably concussed Daryll Clark-led offense should have beaten Iowa on that windy and rainy day.

Easy games or not, just winning one game, just getting that upset is the easy part. It’s following up the upset with more wins that is the challenge.

So in 2016, it’s Ohio State.

And now it’s Purdue.

The Boilermakers are an exploding program more than usual. Going through the motions with an interim head coach makes Purdue an easy target on paper, but sometimes the crippled programs are the ones fighting the hardest simply for their pride. Sound familiar?

There is an argument to be made, in a very weird way, that Penn State’s biggest game under James Franklin isn’t the upset against No. 2 Ohio State or the span of wins against Minnesota and Maryland. It’s a Purdue team that has gone 3-4 so far this season and nearly found a way to upset No. 7 Nebraska 27-14 on the road. A confused, somewhat headless football team, but a dangerous one nevertheless.

That means Franklin will have to address his team — one which he reminds everyone so frequently is still so young — and tell them about 2005 and 2008, when two of the biggest wins in the modern era of the program were followed up by losses. Both losses knocked Penn State out of the national title picture.

To be fair, this team isn’t, and has never been, a title contender, nor has it pretended to be as such, but another win and suddenly things get interesting when it comes to that final win count. If nothing else, the feeling of forward momentum lives to see another week.

After Purdue it is back to Beaver Stadium to face Iowa, a midwestern version of Penn State at 5-3, with no real wins under the belt but no less an easy out. Regardless, a potentially 6-2 Penn State team returning home two weeks removed from the Ohio State win ought to be refocused and confident — two important keys in keeping the ball rolling.

From there, it’s back out to Indiana to face a team that scored 17 against Ohio State and beat Michigan State to start the Spartans dive to the bottom of the standings. Indiana is an odd bunch, but a beatable team, but regardless, this isn’t an easy out even with the Hoosiers sitting at 3-4 currently.

Then it’s at Rutgers before heading home to close out the season against Michigan State. The Scarlet Knights are 2-6 and have otherwise been lifeless all season. A night game and a quasi-rivalry game on the road is, as Penn State has just shown, not an easy task, but on paper Penn State is the better team by far, especially when healthy.

Michigan State’s collapse has been one of the more interesting and surprising things to see in college football this season. Closing out the year against the Spartans and closing out the season with a win seems far more probable than it did several weeks ago.

Can Penn State win out? It’s safe to say that Penn State ought to be favored in every game the rest of the season.

But favored isn’t the same thing as a team without issues.

Penn State’s left tackle position has been a disaster; the offense has been reliable, but can also go three-and-

send sports info, schedules, & photos editor@centrecountygazette.com

out nearly faster than you can type it. The team’s saving grace currently seems to be a defense that has found itself and has found itself healthy. That can change in the blink of an eye, so it’s impossible to assume the Nittany Lions will be still healthy by the end of the season.

This weekend will be a big test against a bad team. Penn State has won big games before, only to see that momentum die before it ever really got going.

Win on Saturday, Oct. 29, and a 10- or 11-win season is amazingly on the table. A win, and we all learn something about a young team that might just be getting older.

Lose, and those games don’t become any harder to win, but it makes the Oct. 22 upset against Ohio State feel more like a blip on the radar than the start of something special.

TIM WEIGHT/For the Gazette

PENN STATE fans braved the cold and rain Oct. 22 to cheer the Nittany Lions on to an upset win over Ohio State.

Big doings as county teams enter home stretch

By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

Even though it’s getting down to the final two weeks of the regular season, there is still lots of football to play.

This week, look for big doings in Philipsburg as SJCA comes to visit, and Bellefonte will take on neighborhood rival BEA in the renewal of their traditional rivalry. State College takes to the road, and Penns Valley goes non-league with a game against Cowanesque Valley.

ST. JOSEPH’S ACADEMY (3-4) AT PHILIPSBURG-OSCEOLA (0-9)

This game is interesting for a number of reasons.

St. Joe’s has now won three games, which is more than commendable considering how the team started, and the Wolves are on a two-game winning streak.

In fact, SJCA has won three of its last four games, with wins over Bucktail, Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech and Nativity BVM and a loss to Halifax.

With two games left against P-O and Line Mountain, it’s conceivable that the Wolves could finish with a winning record.

Philipsburg, on the other hand, is 0-9 and still struggling with giving up big plays and high numbers. New coach Mike Mann has been sticking to his game plan to play fundamentally sound football, but the Mounties still have not been able to hold down the powerful teams on their schedule. In the last month, P-O has seen teams like Chestnut Ridge, Huntingdon, Central and Clearfield.

But P-O matches up more favorably with St. Joe’s, and this will be its best chance of the season to break its very long losing streak.

This game is notable for another reason. It will be played Saturday, Oct. 29, at Philipsburg High School and not at Me-

morial Stadium. The story is that the new high-tech surfaced field adjacent to the softball complex will become the team’s permanent home, and this will be the first game played at that location.

Game time is 1 p.m.

BALD EAGLE AREA (3-6) AT BELLEFONTE (4-5)

This ages-old rivalry game between two schools just a few miles apart promises to be as competitive as ever.

The Red Raiders won the last two games rather easily, 28-7 in 2014 and 43-7 last year, but both teams have been holding their own this season and both have played some very good games.

BEA, for example, won for the third time with an overtime, 3-0 victory over Chestnut Ridge on Sept. 16 in the lowest scoring game of the season so far. Chestnut Ridge, before and since, has been a point-producing machine so the BEA defenders can take credit for that one.

Bellefonte, talking about signature wins, went into Tyrone on Sept. 23 and won a come-from-behind 14-13 thriller over the Golden Eagles. It was the first win for the Raiders over Tyrone in 22 years.

Both teams will come into this contest after short weeks of practice because both played postponed games on Oct. 24 due to the severe flooding in the area on Oct. 21.

Bellefonte lost to Chestnut Ridge, 30-22, while BEA fell to Jersey Shore, 28-10.

Kickoff is Friday, Oct. 28, at 7 p.m. at Rogers Stadium.

COWANESQUE VALLEY (2-6) AT PENNS VALLEY (2-7)

Penns Valley is 2-7 coming into its final game this season, and there’s little question that the Rams have played better football than that record indicates.

The Indians have had a rough time of it in the last two weeks, losing to Wellsboro

TIM WEIGHT/For the Gazette

BELLEFONTE’S TYLER KREGER (25) runs with the ball against Chestnut Ridge on Oct. 24. The Red Raiders lost at home, 30-22. and North Penn-Mansfield by a combined 99-0.

Their last win came against Columbia Montour Vo-Tech, 29-22, Oct. 1, and they also have a Week 2 win over Montgomery, 23-6.

CV is almost exclusively a running team. Its quarterbacks, senior Colton Vinluan and freshman Seth Huyler, have completed just 20 passes all season for a total of 335 yards and no touchdowns with seven interceptions.

Sophomore Matt Barber is the leading runner with 475 yards on 101 carries, and he is followed by junior Drew Brandes (229 yards).

The Indians’ defense does have 23 sacks and six interceptions, so PV’s Andrew To-

bias and his passing offense will be under some pressure.

But the Rams will likely crowd the line of scrimmage and make CV throw the ball.

If the Indians can’t, the Rams will have a big advantage in this one.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 28.

STATE COLLEGE (8-0) AT CHAMBERSBURG (1-7)

There is no arguing with the fact that Chambersburg is struggling this season.

The Trojans have won just one game, 20-0 over Greencastle-Antrim, and have been pretty much trampled by everyone in the Mid-Penn.

State College stays unbeaten behind Haffner

By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — The State College football team went to its default offense early and often during the Little Lions’ exciting 35-28 victory over talented Harrisburg on Oct. 21.

That offense is simply called, “Give the Ball to Pete Haffner.”

With the Cougar defense taking away the outside run and their withering pass rush seriously hindering the Lions’ air attack, State College turned to Haffner.

Often.

The 6-foot-1, 220-pound senior fullback and linebacker ran the ball 35 times for 188 tough and mostly straight ahead yards and three touchdowns.

Haffner’s last touchdown, a 1-yard

plunge with just 1:38 left to play, broke a 28-all tie and gave the Lions their eighth win of the season without a loss. It also kept the Lions ahead by one game in the race for the Mid-Penn Colonial championship.

Nonetheless, the win was not secured until the final seconds against a physical and well-balanced Harrisburg team that is stocked with D-1 talent.

“I’m so proud of these guys,” State College coach Matt Lintal said. “Talk about staying together no matter what’s going on, through the ups and downs, they stay together and never quit. The effort they show when we’re up, when we’re down, they always believe.

“That’s a great Harrisburg football team Haffner, Page 24

Haffner, from page 23 that’s got a chance to go win the state in 5A, and we’ll be cheering for them. We have a lot of respect for them.”

The first time Harrisburg touched the ball was evidence enough to the home crowd at Memorial Field that the Cougars came to play. They took the opening kickoff and drove 65 yards in just three plays, culminating with a 48-yard touchdown strike from quarterback Yahmir Wilkerson to Ronald Kent just 76 seconds into the game.

State College took the following kickoff and went nowhere, and it wasn’t until the Lions’ second possession that Haffner began to take over.

After a Harrisburg punt, State College went 94 yards in 11 plays to tie the game at 7-7. Haffner ran the ball nine consecutive times during the drive, which set up a wideopen, 20-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Snyder to Brandon Clark just as the first quarter was coming to a close.

“Our offensive line has developed so well,” Lintal said, “so we can establish that (running) part of our game and try to pound it. Then we can take our shots when it’s appropriate and when we have a high percentage. And it paid off here tonight.”

Harrisburg shook off the Clark score and responded in kind. The Cougars took the kickoff and drove 80 yards in just six plays for the go-ahead touchdown.

Wilkerson completed two big passes to standout receiver — and reported potential Penn State recruit — Shaquon Anderson-Butts during the march.

The first was for a 12-yard first down, and then on the very next play, Butts broke away for a 51-yard bomb down to the State College 2-yard line. From there, Wilkerson took it in.

Neither team threatened again in the first half, and for the second time in three weeks, the Little Lions were behind at halftime.

Apart from the 94-yard touchdown drive, State College was otherwise held to just 24 yards of offense in the first half. The Lions punted three times, and Snyder threw a second-quarter interception.

That all began to change after the break. State College drove 80 yards after the second-half kickoff in 11 plays to tie the game at 14-14. It was a mirror-image of the first scoring drive, with Haffner carrying inside for most of the yardage and then Clark coming open in the endzone for a 15-yard touchdown.

The tying score seemed to energize the Little Lions and,

pening. Olivetti stepped in front of a first-down Wilkerson pass and made a clutch — maybe game-saving — interception at the Harrisburg 26.

Six plays later, all Haffner runs, State College was in the end zone with the winning touchdown. Haffner capped it from inside the one, again out of the wildcat.

“That was huge,” Lintal said about Olivetti’s pick. “Such a momentum change. Obviously they had a lot of momentum after those two touchdowns, and to get that pick was just huge.

“They (Harrisburg) were throwing to spots all night, and Olivetti saw that and jumped the pass.”

Still, with just 1:38 left, Harrisburg was not done, but the clock would eventually run out on the Cougars.

They drove all the way to the State College 12-yard line after Butts caught a pass on a third-and-long. But the clock was running down to the final seconds, with no timeouts, and Wilkerson ran up and spiked the ball. But it was fourth down, and the ball went over to the Lions to run out the final two seconds.

“Our kids were backed off defending that third down play, and they knew if they held them up, it would be tough to get off another play.

“So, once again, so proud of our guys,” Lintal said.

in quick succession, they scored twice more to take seeming control of the game with a 28-14 lead. Haffner did the honors on both, the first from 12 yards out and the second from the wildcat formation at the goal line.

“I love the wildcat formation,” Haffner said. “It’s my favorite. We call it the bear package, get the big boys in and just go after it.”

With State College now ahead by 14, and the fourth quarter beginning, anyone who thought Harrisburg would go quietly away would have been very wrong.

The Cougars, with Wilkerson going almost exclusively to his four-man receiving corps, engineered two quick drives that produced touchdowns barely three minutes apart.

Wilkerson scored the first on a 1-yard run to make it 2821, and then he tied it with a 12-yard pass to Butts with 6:46 still showing on the clock.

To make matters worse, the Cougars’ defense subsequently stopped State College and forced a punt. So with four minutes to play and all the momentum on its side, Harrisburg took over the ball at its own 22 with designs on setting off on the winning drive.

State College defensive back Paul Olivetti, after seeing Wilkerson passes all night, had other ideas about that hap-

Bellefonte, BEA advance in boys’ soccer playoffs

By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

WINGATE — The Bishop Carroll boys’ soccer team scored the first two goals against Bellefonte in the District 6 semi-final game Oct. 25 at Bald Eagle High School.

Unfortunately for the Huskies, one of those goals counted for the Raiders after a ball caromed off a BC player into his own net for a Bellefonte goal.

That score, along with a gritty, four-goal second half rally, vaulted Bellefonte to a 5-4 victory over Carroll and into the D-6 finals against the winner of the match between Hollidaysburg and Huntingdon.

In the second game of the night, a AA opening-round match, Bald Eagle Area completed a Centre County sweep with a 3-2 victory over Forest Hills.

Nick Zink scored the game-winner for BEA in the 67th minute, just a minute after Forest Hills tied the game at 2-2 with a goal

by Wyatt Bramley.

BEA will now face the winner of the Ligonier Valley and Cambria Heights game in the District 6 semi-finals Oct. 31 at a site to be announced.

In the back-and-forth Bellefonte-BC contest that saw both teams come from behind, Bellefonte scored the final two goals of the night in the last 20 minutes of the game to finally subdue Carroll and qualify for the final.

Raider Dan Simmon scored the winning goal — his second of the night — in the 66th minute. He took a perfect pass from Alex Horner and sent a hard shot high and over the left side of BC goalie Andrew Grusceil. The goal gave the Raiders a 5-4 lead, and from there the Bellefonte defense held on for the win. Bishop Carroll did not get off another shot.

“We were making a play downfield,” Simmon said about his game-winning goal, “and Alex (Horner) played it to me.

I took a touch inside and then just put it away.”

Simmon’s goal was the last one in a turbulent second half.

Carroll was ahead 1-0 after Alex Karlheim opened the game with a goal in the 12th minute. But four minutes later, the Raiders’ Dan Catchmark tried to clear a loose ball in front of the BC goal and it hit defender Chris Goodbird’s leg and bounced into the net to tie the game at 1-1.

Neither team could score again in the first half, but that changed quickly after the break.

Bellefonte went up by two goals after Simmon scored his first from just outside the box in the 48th minute, and then Horner headed one in two minutes later to give the Raiders a 3-1 advantage.

Carroll hardly blinked though. Less than two minutes after Horner’s goal, Karlheim took a pass from Owen Reihart and slammed a shot past goalie Josh Gaus that closed the gap to 3-2.

BC sophomore forward Selvin Maykovich followed with two unassisted goals that put the Huskies back into the lead, 4-3. In both instances, Maykovich used his speed to break past Bellefonte defenders before going one-on-one against Gaus.

“This is what you expect at district play,” Simmon said, “the constant counter-attacks trying to wear down the opponent.

“It was quite a shame to give up three goals in like three minutes, and we sort of felt like we would lose the game, but we turned it around.”

That turnaround began when Raider coach Scott Martz put in an extra defender to stabilize the game and wait for something to happen with his offense.

That something came in the 60th minute when forward Marco Mazzei split two defenders and scored from 20 yards out to tie the game 4-4.

TIM WEIGHT/For the Gazette

BELLEFONTE AND Bishop Carroll players battle for the ball in boys’ playoff soccer action Oct. 25.

Bellefonte (in white) won 5-4 to advance to the D-6 finals.

“Offensively, I thought we could come back and score,” Martz said, “but I was a little bit nervous about our defense tonight.

“We did put an extra guy back on D. Normally, we play three guys but we did put an extra guy back defensively, hoping to solidify a little bit and help us out. They (the Carroll players) are quick. They have a high-powered offense.”

With the Raider defense finally catching up with the BC speed, Horner and Simmon

got together for the winning goal with 14 minutes left to play.

“They (the players) stepped up when they needed to step up and got us a 5-4 win,” Martz said. “Bishop Carroll is a good team, and I am happy with the win tonight.

“I am just happy that we’ve gotten back to this point. It’s been four years since we’ve been back to the championship.

These guys were just freshmen then, so I am happy for them to get back. Hopefully we’ll get a victory.”

PENN STATE goalie Peyton Jones has earned Big Ten honors two straight weeks.

HEATHER WEIKEL/For the Gazette

Goaltender Jones earns Big Ten honors ROSEMONT, Ill. — Penn State freshman goaltender Peyton Jones has been named the Big Ten men’s ice hockey First Star of the Week for his contributions during a 1-0-1 weekend in South Bend against the third-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

This marks the second consecutive week the rookie has earned league recognition after garnering Third Star accolades on last week’s report.

For Penn State, Jones marks just the fourth player to receive First Star honors and the first since another goaltender, Eamon McAdam, earned this distinction Dec. 1, 2015.

Jones stopped 56 of 61 shots, turning in a .918 save percentage during the weekend. The freshman stopped a career-high 30 shots during the Oct. 21 3-3 tie before collecting 26 saves the next night during a 3-2 overtime victory.

The victory marked the highest-ranked team Penn State has defeated in their brief five-year history.

Jones also collected his first collegiate point as he assist-

ed on the game-winning overtime goal Oct. 22. The rookie registered a 2.37 goals against average over the two games facing the fourth-ranked offense in the nation, which came into the weekend averaging 4.75 goals per contest.

Jones remains unbeaten in his young career, posting a 3-0-1 record for the Nittany Lions and currently ranks fourth in the Big Ten in both goals against average (2.40) and save percentage (.916). Those marks also place him 21st and 26th in the nation, respectively.

Penn State returns to action Friday, Oct. 28, and Saturday, Oct. 29, as the Nittany Lions host Canisius for two 7 p.m. faceoffs.

Penn State hockey, fresh off of a 3-2 overtime victory against No. 3 ranked Notre Dame, sat on a bus in South Bend, Ind., waiting for their plane. At 3-1-1 on the year, the Nittany Lions have navigated an early stretch of games against two different Top 15 foes and have come out of those four contests with just a single loss.

The result is a No.6 ranking in the PairWise, college hockey’s version of the BCS, and as of Oct. 24, a No. 19 ranking in the USCHO.com poll.

With the upset still fresh on their minds, the Nittany Lions could have been celebrating. They could have been enjoying a successful weekend against a highly ranked opponent. If Penn State is going to make the NCAA tournament, it will be those kinds of wins that create a strongenough resume to punch a ticket.

It was a potentially big moment in what could be an even bigger season.

They weren’t celebrating, though — they were watching Penn State football.

Men’s basketball preview: Lions look to quicken tempo JASON ROLLISON

To hear sixth-year Penn State men’s basketball coach Patrick Chambers tell it, fans may not be able to recognize this year’s team.

The squad will return last year’s second-leading scorer — junior guard Shep Garner — but even his play might look unfamiliar.

“With the tempo we are going to play at, I don’t see Shep Jason Rollison playing 37 minutes is a sports per game,” Chambers commentator. said.

Email him The topic of upat jason@ tempo play was frepiratesbreakdown. quently mentioned com.

by Chambers at both the team’s media day and the Big Ten conference-wide media sessions. Noting that his team took a huge step forward last year offensively in averaging 65 points per game, Chambers now hopes to find another gear for his talented club.

“PSU basketball is in a different place today,” he told reporters at the Big Ten media gathering in Washington D.C. “We are going to get up and down, which we haven’t in the past five years.”

Three of Penn State’s top four scorers will return. Headlined by Garner’s 14.8 points per game, the trio also features Payton Banks’ 9.4 points per contest and Josh Reaves’ 6.4.

That leaves quite a deficit for this year’s iteration to eclipse the 65-point mark reached last year. Chambers feels that he has the horses to do so.

“We want to play 10 guys; that’s the goal. We may put a ‘starting five’ out there, but really we are using a starting 10.”

Part of that “starting 10” includes an exciting redshirt freshman, as well as an intriguing transfer.

Forward Mike Watkins, who stands 6 feet 8 inches, sat out last season, but will now be expected to produce. For all of the talk of embracing the up-tempo style of play, Chambers was equally candid in addressing his need for a big body down low.

“I’d love to see him get 20 minutes per game,” Chambers said of Watkins. “It’s going to be difficult. He’s still raw. We are working on his habits; positioning, especially in the post.

“The NCAA is trying to limit that physicality, but what he can bring to us is incredible athleticism, speed … . He’s got great IQ for the game. He’s going to protect the rim. The Big Ten hasn’t seen his complement of talents in a long time.”

Joining Watkins as a notable newcomer will be UConn transfer guard Terrence Samuel. The 6-3 junior won a national championship with the Huskies in 2014, and is noted as the last player at Storrs who was recruited by legendary coach Jim Calhoun. With new coach Kevin Ollie reshaping his program in his eyes, Samuel saw the writing on the wall and transferred to Penn State.

The scouting report on Samuel suggests something of a defensive first guard.

Having never made a three-point shot in his two-year career at Uconn, Samuel was nevertheless noted as being an important defensive stopper.

That may just be what Chambers is looking for to complement his more freewheeling scorers.

During the team’s media day gathering, the talk kept returning to Garner, as expected. Chambers deliberately set a very challenging non-conference schedule, in part to better prepare his team for bruising Big Ten play. To that end, Chambers needs leaders.

He believes that Garner can easily step into that role.

“Shep knew coming into this year, with Brandon Taylor and those guys graduating, that he would have to step in to a leadership role,” Chambers said.

TIM WEIGHT/For the Gazette

PENN STATE men’s basketball coach Patrick Chambers says his team will have a “starting 10” this year.

“He has done a fantastic job of taking his time with that. There’s a process to it.

The guys have to trust you. They have to believe in you. You have to be one of the hardest workers. Once practice has started now, I hear him a bit more. He’s been in the top three for our attitude club in practices.”

Helping Garner’s cause is a blistering finish to the 2015-16 season. In that season’s last six games, Garner scored at least 20 points in five of those six contests, averaging 20.7 points for the stretch.

“Being consistent, that was the number one thing I took from that stretch,” Garner said. “Take it one day, one practice, one possession, one game at a time. That’s what I’ve been doing this year, too.”

For Chambers’ new, faster style of play to work, the responsibility to instill the same mindset in his teammates will per-

haps fall on Garner’s shoulders as much as his coach.

Penn State faces a tough non-conference schedule before heading into Big Ten play. With games against preseason No. 1-ranked Duke, renewed rival Pittsburgh and others, Chambers will know sooner rather than later if his designs for his team are in the stars.

Moneymakers, from page 25 And when they got off the bus and on to the plane, Penn State had just surrendered a safety, falling behind 21-7 before the Nittany Lions responded to bring the game within seven points.

That was the last Penn State hockey saw before taking off. Little did they know what they were about to miss.

“As we were landing, the word got around the plane,” coach Guy Gadowsky said. “We didn’t know what happened until the pilot got a message from the control tower that we won, and that spread like wildfire through the plane. People were either sitting or napping and then their heads started to pop up. It was really cool.

“It’s just great for our school, to have two big upsets in the same weekend. I don’t know the guy who blocked the kick or the guy who ran it all the way in,” forward Andrew Sturtz said with a grin. “But good job on those two for getting it done, and good job on the defense for holding out at the end of the game.”

All told, it was just about a perfect weekend for Penn State athletics. Hockey played a primetime game, nationally televised on NBCSN, while football did the same on ABC. If anything generates good advertising for your athletic program, it’s winning, and winning against elite teams in front of the nation. “Penn State football” was the secondmost Googled phrase on the Internet Oct. 22, and at its peak just more than 5 million people were watching the game. The duo of upsets earned a SportsCenter mention. It was effectively Penn State’s night.

Big picture, it’s an interesting moment for the future of Penn State athletics. Football figures to be favored in the remaining five games of the regular season, with a reasonable chance of winning all five. Hockey is also slated to play their next 10 games at Pegula Ice Arena, which will mean Penn State won’t hit the road again until January.

And, between those two, Penn State men’s basketball is only weeks from debuting the best recruiting class in program history on the court at the Bryce Jordan Center.

Penn State’s only three profit-creating programs are all potentially on an upward climb, all at the same time.

County teams, from page 23 Their last three losses have come against Harrisburg (61-10), Cedar Cliff (34-7) and Central Dauphin (56-0), and the 20 points they scored against Greencastle were the most in any game this year.

Yet for the State College Little Lions, every game at this point in the season is a big one. State College is unbeaten, in first place in the Mid-Penn Colonial, and fighting to stay ahead of Central Dauphin and Cumberland Valley.

A win against the Trojans would ensure State College of at least a share of the Colonial championship, and it would be safe to say that the Little Lion coaches and players have no intentions to share anything.

They are after it all, and Chambersburg is next on their list.

Game time is 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 28.

Women’s Corner

Choosing a destination wedding alleviates anxiety

By LANA BERNHARD lbernhard@barashmedia.com

I have skin as pale as snow. I don’t ever think I had a tan line. My skin craves shade, while the blood underneath seems to serve as crack for the mosquito population.

People must wonder why someone like me would choose an island destination wedding. The choice was simple: I don’t like being the center of attention, so when talk about marriage began, my thoughts went to a small, intimate destination that would be perfect for me and my fiancé.

Cost was also a factor in our decision.

The average traditional wedding costs $26,645; however, a destination wedding is typically free, included within the cost of the stay at the resort.

Long gone are the days of the traditional wedding in a church followed by dinner at the church community hall like in my grandparents’ generation. Even my parents’ age group had a standard wedding in a church (although it was typically fol-

lowed by a rowdy night of partying at the community center).

Unfortunately, my generation prefers the overdone burlap, the shiny gold glitter and cowgirl boots, and tying the knot in a barn. I don’t do burlap, I don’t like glitter and there’s no cowgirl in this lady.

A destination wedding is, well, simple.

As a bridal makeup artist myself, I’ve been behind the scenes of plenty of weddings, and the hustle and bustle during the morning of the wedding day always gave me anxiety for the bride. The idea of having a destination wedding where couples-tobe spend an hour picking out the cake, decorations and ceremony location — then arrive in paradise to be greeted by the wedding coordinator and staff, graciously ready to take care of everything — is a weight off the shoulders. It allows my friends and family an entire day without any responsibilities. (And, did I mention the package deal includes wedding photos with a backdrop to die for?)

Certainly, there will be people who will

be disappointed they cannot attend your destination wedding, but having a celebration party upon the return will surely make up for that. You hope people will remember that marriage isn’t all about your wedding and the type of ceremony you choose; it’s about what comes after all the partying is done.

As an added bonus, I feel my choice to have a destination wedding won’t have us solely focused on a single day, but rather on an entire week to celebrate in paradise with our closest friends and family.

To me, that sounds like the ultimate party, with tropical water scenery, amazing food and bottomless cocktails.

Not all is glorious and wonderful. Being a Type A person, I am struggling with giving up all control and trying my best to have the carefree attitude of the islands.

Luckily, I have a wonderful fiancé, parents and wedding party to pull me back and remind me that “Every Little Thing Is Gonna Be Alright.”

I truly can’t wait to marry the man of my dreams, with my toes in the sand.

Healthy eating linked to lower risk of breast cancer CONNIE COUSINS

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and there have been several articles out about diagnosis and treatment and changing lifestyles regarding nutrition. One interesting study found that what young women — even preadolescent girls — ate could affect the possibility of their developing breast cancer later in life.

The authors are experts from many different professions. The article discussed how youth go through many physical and social changes as they grow into adults.

These changes present opportunities for

cancer prevention. Certain exposures and behaviors among young people can reduce their chances of getting cancer in the future, including completing the human papilloma virus vaccine series, getting enough physical activity and eating healthful food.

Better nutrition is mentioned as a factor to help prevent cancer by the National Foundation for Cancer Research. It suggests including more fruits and vegetables in diets, avoiding tobacco products, increasing fiber intake, limiting alcohol, wearing sunscreen and maintaining physical activity and healthy weight.

A May article in Forbes magazine noted that a new study from the British Medical Journal suggests that what women eat as teens can affect their breast cancer risk later in life.

Other research has pointed to this connection, but the new findings are encouraging. Are we what we eat, as many scientific studies have suggested? Our diets do affect us for other diseases and beginning healthy eating in adolescence, or even before that, is likely to have an even greater effect on how healthy we are over the years.

Researcher uses honeybees to probe gender roles

By TAMMY HOSTERMAN Penn State Live

What do domestic work and the traditional gender roles of women have in common with the non-visible labor of honeybees? In a multimedia project in which women performed the work of honeybees, Penn State undergraduate Christina Dietz found that, in both subjects, the value of labor is lessened based on its lack of visibility.

“I hope to bring attention to the occurrence of a shift in perceived importance when the member that performs a specific labor changes,” said Dietz. “The roles and processes of bees become more visible when humans perform in their place.”

As part of her project, “Honeybees and Homemakers: Pollination and Gendered Labor,” Dietz built a small, house-like structure. She installed two observation hives in the windows of the house, allowing viewers to glimpse what goes on inside a beehive. She also created a video that follows three young women in their imagined workday as they perform the task of pollination.

The women blur the lines between work and leisure, as they must uphold a lovely appearance while toiling in the fields, spreading pollen from one flower to another.

At the end of the day, they brush pollen from their skirts, collect their soiled gloves and retire for the day, to prepare to work again the next day.

Dietz, who is double-majoring in visual arts and psychology, is making the most of the research opportunities afforded her at Penn State.

“As a research school, we have access to so many professionals that are incredibly passionate and willing to share about their field of specialty,” she said. “I was able to use both the visual and person-to-person communication skills I’ve learned from my studio professors and translate some of the knowledge I’ve been given through the Department of Entomology. Sculpture and

entomology, insects and feminism, pollination and gendered labor — the most exciting things happen when two seemingly disparate subjects are tied together.”

Working on the large-scale project, Dietz learned how to write a proposal; break down a detailed project budget; direct a team of people, including actors, a videographer and a photographer; communicate across colleges; and coordinate many variables. She’s learned how to build a small structure, from floorboards to shingled roof, while keeping in mind the specific conditions that a bee colony needs to thrive.

“Managing such a complex project has been a practice run for life as an artist after graduation,” she said. “It is invaluable to be able to work through a daunting project with the safety net of supportive professors and instructors around me.”

“Christina has always been a hard worker, yet I feel this project propelled a new approach to focus and risk in her creative workflow,” said Bonnie Collura, faculty mentor to Dietz throughout her project. “To translate her idea in both 3-D and 4-D space, Christina needed to take on the responsibilities of fabricator, film director, prop builder, scenic designer and budget manager. To get her project done on time and to a standard that she held herself accountable to, Christina simultaneously embodied creative discovery and deft direction. This is an extraordinarily difficult thing to do; it was inspiring to watch her take on so much with such aplomb.”

Her project was funded by an Apes Valentes Undergraduate Research Award provided through the Center for Pollinator Research. Successful candidates receive an award of up to $4,500 to be applied to wages and other costs related to their research, which can involve the development of educational or art projects related to pollinators.

Collaborators on the project included Michelle Nash, video cinematography and editing; Julianna Dietz, graphic design; and Helen Maser, set photography.

HARRISBURG — Halee Wasson, of State College, was crowned the 60th Pennsylvania Dairy Princess on Oct. 1, after a three-day competition with 26 county dairy princesses.

Wasson, 20, daughter of Ronald and Candace Wasson, was crowned by outgoing state princess Savannah Zanic, of Huntingdon.

Contestants were judged on public speaking, dairy industry knowledge and poise and personality. Each contestant prepared a speech, presentation, radio spot and poster display promoting milk and dairy products, submitted a scrapbook of promotion activities, took a dairy promotion knowledge quiz and participated in an interview with a panel of four judges.

New this year was a royal recipe contest, where Wasson was runner-up.

Wasson won the poster display and speech contests and received honorable mention in the dairy promotion knowledge, presentation, radio spot and scrapbook competitions.

A junior at Penn State majoring in agricultural and extension education, Wasson is treasurer of the Ag Student Council and liaison to the American Dairy Science Association for the Dairy Science Club. She is a junior member of the Pennsylvania Holstein Association, a member of the Victor Grange and attends Calvary Baptist Church. A 12-year veteran of her county promotion program, she works on the

OCTOBER 27-NOVEMBER 2, 2016 Healthy, from page 29 Researchers looked at the data from 90,000 nurses who were part of the Nurses’ Health Study II, an ongoing study tracking the lifestyle habits and health outcomes of nurses all over the country. Questions that the nurses answered included those about their diets in adolescence or early adulthood. The team looked for any connections between those diets, particularly fruit and vegetable content and the women’s breast cancer risk over a 20-year period.

Results showed striking connections.

Fruit consumption during one’s teenage years was linked to a 25 percent reduced risk of breast cancer diagnosis in middle age. Eating fruits and vegetables high in alpha-carotene such as carrots, squash, pumpkin and sweet potato were also linked to a reduced risk.

Breaking it down further by specific food and age, the researchers found that eating more apples, bananas and grapes during adolescence was linked to reduced risk. Eating more oranges and kale during early adulthood also indicated the reduced risk.

Monaca Montag, a certified nutritionist at BeWell Associates in State College, said, “The newer literature states that the cause of disease is 90 percent environmental and 10 percent genetic.” She explained that many environmental factors and also the

THE CENTRE COUNTY GAZETTE state of the food we eat has an influence on our overall health.

Montag and her partner at BeWell, Angie Wallace, create personalized nutrition programs using evidence-based protocols that consider a client’s lifestyle, eating habits and environmental exposures.

According to Montag, some of the environmental factors that can wreck havoc within a body include eating foods high in sugar and fat, eating dairy products that often contain hormones that were given to the cows and eating red meat that we do not know the history of. Some other considerations for your health: The clear plastic wrap that many people cover food their food with can leach plastic into your food when heated, and plastic foam containers from fast food places and restaurants contain chemicals that can be released when the container is heated.

“Even the coating on cash register tapes has an estrogenic effect,” said Montag.

Males get breast cancer, also, and estrogenic substances have been questioned in regard to those cancers.

“Fortunately, there are simple tests that can look at how your body excretes estrogens and whether they are being released along a safe pathway in the liver. If not, there are dietary and supplement changes to prevent future problems,” said Montag.

When asked about the diet of young girls affecting their future chances of ac-

quiring breast cancer, Montag said, “The diet of most young women is sadly lacking in protein. They should have three to four ounces of protein twice daily. In meat, that would be equal to the size of a deck of cards, two times a day.

“Young women should be eating fresh vegetables and fruits — the dark leafy ones and the brightly colored ones. Those are full of polyphenols, plant-based antioxidants that help to reduce and repair cellular damage.

“As I said, the chemicals and other substances in our environment can be estrogenic. Good nutrition helps to combat those effects, as does exercise and proper rest.”

At BeWell, tests are available that can help pinpoint nutritional deficiencies, food allergies, estrogen levels, organic acids, amino acids adrenal stress profiles and more. Montag can help by interpreting test results and advising on supplements or diet changes to address many different conditions, such as fatigue, digestive problems, skin conditions and headaches.

Simple dietary changes can produce surprising results. Beans are a good source of protein and contain up to 19 grams of fiber per cup. Eating three cups of beans weekly could cut your cancer risk 33 percent, according to a study by the researchers at the University of Buffalo. Dr. Christine Horner, author of “Radiant Health

SIMPLE DIETARY CHANGES can produce surprising benefits, experts say.

Ageless Beauty” reports that “fiber binds to breast-irritating estrogens in the intestines, forcing them to be excreted instead of absorbed.”

Being aware and knowledgeable about what we eat can influence our overall health — even many years in the future.

‘Curious George’ aims to encourage exploration

By ANNE WALKER correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — The world’s most inquisitive monkey will sing, dance, tumble, chatter and generally enchant audiences when State College Community Theatre presents “Curious George: The Golden Meatball” at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. on two Saturdays, Nov. 5 and 19, at Calvary Church Harvest Fields, 150 Harvest Fields Drive, Boalsburg.

Ethan Palmer, 15, will play the role of George, whose enthusiasm for even the smallest of life’s incidents leads to all sorts of adventures.

Philadelphia-based director Shannon Agnew said that Palmer’s job “is challenging through the movement and non-linguistic vocalization to embody the profile of a lovable and curious creature.”

Since she doesn’t plan to put Palmer in a monkey costume, he will have the task of using physicality to portray “how this creature would look interacting with the human world,” Agnew said.

She plans to have mats on the stage so that he can do the tumbling, jumping and scampering around that a monkey would do.

The plot moves along with George’s friend Chef Pisghetti (Eric Lindquist) enlisting George’s help on All-You-Can-EatMeatball-Day. George has waited a long time for this day, but he and his friends soon learn that someone has spoiled this festive occasion. It seems that a sly and scheming salesman named Phinneas (Jackson Pavlik) has brought to town the new and menacing Meatball-O-Matic. As the name suggests, the machine mass-produces meatballs in no time.

In the meantime, Chef Pisghetti learns of the Golden Meatball Contest, but knowing about the Meatball-O-Matic, slumps into sadness, convinced that his meatballs could never compete.

“George goes on a mission to help his friend fulfill his dream,” Agnew said. She won’t reveal the outcome though, and encourages anyone wondering about it to come and see the production.

“It’s a very fast-paced script,” she said, “with 16 songs within 50 minutes.”

Agnew spent 10 years with a children’s theater company and feels this play represents early childhood educational theater at its finest. But she also stresses that adults, too, can walk away with insights from this play as well.

“CURIOUS GEORGE: The Golden Meatball” features actors Rob Arnold, Ethan Palmer, Jackson Pavlik, Ellysa Cahoy and Eric Lindquist.

“I hope it encourages people to create an atmosphere for children to explore and to want to travel (George flies to Rome), and to teach that the world is wonderful and many people are kind,” Agnew said.

This production, like the original “Curious George” books, celebrates friendship, loyalty and the childlike excitement that comes with a curious mind.

Tickets for the show are $8.

Vocal ensemble Roomful of Teeth to visit Penn State Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — Roomful of Teeth, an avant garde a cappella octet dedicated to discovering the potential of the human voice, will make its Penn State debut at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 17, in Schwab Auditorium.

The program will feature ensemble member Caroline Shaw’s Pulitzer Prize-winning “Partita for 8 Voices” and other works.

Tickets for the Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State presentation — $42 for an adult, $15 for a University Park student and $32 for a person 18 and younger — are available online at www.cpa.psu.edu or by phone at (814) 863-0255 or (800) ARTS-TIX. Tickets are also available at four State College locations: Eisenhower Auditorium (weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), Penn State Downtown Theatre Center (weekdays 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.), HUB-Robeson Center Information Desk (weekdays 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.) and Bryce Jordan Center (weekdays 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.).

Artistic director Brad Wells founded the group in 2009, but the idea came to him while he attended college in the 1980s. “I started thinking about forming a particular vocal ensemble dedicated to new music in some way,” he said in an interview with the Center for the Performing Arts.

The artists have collaborated with a variety of composers and popular artists, including Tune-Yards vocalist Mer-

Roomful of Teeth finds inspiration by studying past and present vocal techniques, including Tuvan throat singing, yodeling, Korean pansori, death metal and various classical singing styles. According to Wells, the studies provide the singers with new and unusual vocal methods, which allows a composer to create an experimental work based on the singers’ abilities.

The ensemble’s 2012 self-titled debut was nominated for three Grammy Awards and won for Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance. In 2013, Shaw won the Pulitzer Prize for her four-part suite, “Partita for 8 Voices.” In 2015, Roomful of Teeth released the album “Render.”

“More than anything else, it’s the irreducible strangeness of these noises, ejaculations and polyphonies that underlines just how divorced we are and have become from our own capacities and natures,” a critic wrote of “Render” for music and film webzine Tiny Mix Tapes.

AROUND & IN TOWN

‘Trouble in Tahiti’ playing at Downtown Theatre STATE COLLEGE — The Penn State School of Music, School of Theatre and Penn State Opera Theatre present “Trouble in Tahiti,” an opera in seven scenes, at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 27, through Saturday, Oct. 29, and 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 30, in the Downtown Theatre Center, 146 S. Allen St. The opera is preceded by an Operatif in the lobby of the Downtown Theatre Center. The production staff and cast include both School of Music and School of Theatre faculty and students. Ted Christopher serves as stage director and Loclan Mackenzie-Spencer is music director and pit ensemble conductor.

Leonard Bernstein was on his honeymoon in 1951 when he began composing “Trouble in Tahiti,” a candid portrait of the dissolving marriage of a young suburban couple named Sam and Dinah.

Written between his biggest Broadway successes — “On the Town” in 1944 and “West Side Story” in 1957 — “Trouble in Tahiti” draws upon popular song styles of the 1950s to deliver an uncompromising

critique of post-war American materialism.

Beneath the couple’s marital discord is a profound longing for love and intimacy. Their spiritual emptiness, in contrast to their veneer of happy consumerism, creates the heart of the drama and is emphasized by sudden stylistic shifts in the music. The two main characters are supplemented by a “Greek Chorus” in the form of a jazz trio which provides stark contrast to the troubles of the protagonists.

“Trouble in Tahiti” is the darkest among Bernstein’s “musicals,” and the only one for which he wrote the words as well as the music. The opera received its first performance on June 12, 1952, at Bernstein’s Festival of the Creative Arts on the campus of Brandeis University.

Tickets are $25 for the general public and $15 for students. Seating is reserved.

Tickets are available at any Arts Ticket Center location, by phone at (814) 8630255 or (800) ARTS-TIX or online at Penn State Arts Ticket Center.

Festival of the Arts names new officers, directors Special to the Gazette The Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts elected new officers and board of directors members during its Oct. 18 annual meeting.

The new officers are: ■ president Steve Watson, director of Penn State’s Division of Campus Planning and Design in the Office of Physical Plant ■ vice president Amy Caputo, director of strategic communications for the Penn State Alumni Association ■ treasurer Bob Hicks, pastor of the Upper Spruce Creek Presbyterian Church and the CEO of Persea Naturals LLC ■ secretary Diana Malcom, associate in ministry for college-age ministry at State College Presbyterian Church The following individuals were elected to three-year terms on the board: Renata S. Engel, associate vice provost for Online Programs at Penn State; Jean Galliano,

senior vice president, Fulton Bank; and Steve Sampsell, director of strategic communications for the College of Communications at Penn State.

The Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts was founded in 1967 by the State College Chamber of Commerce and Penn State University’s College of Arts and Architecture. It now encompasses five days of visual and performing arts programming.

Approximately 125,000 people visit the festival each summer, and “Arts Fest” is considered to be a quintessential part of the Penn State student and alumni experience.

In addition to producing the summer festival, the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts also produces First Night State College, an alcohol-free, family-oriented New Year’s festival.

Save on taxes by following a few year-end tips JUDY LOY

Judy Loy is a registered investment adviser and CEO at Nestlerode & Loy Investment Advisors in State College. She can be reached at jloy@ nestlerode.com.

The last quarter of the year brings fall, winter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Besides the change of seasons and holiday celebrations, people can do several things to save themselves taxes in 2016 or set themselves up for a successful 2017.

■ Review your estate plan Estate taxation and rules are ever-changing. If you haven’t reviewed your plan with an attorney in the last 10 years, it’s time to do it — not only because of outside changes but also personal life changes. Are you widowed, divorced or married since your last update? It is important to make sure your estate plans change so that your wishes are met.

■ Plan for a worst-case scenario If you are older, it is a good idea to have your powers of attorney in place at your various financial institutions.

Many large banks and brokerages require their own forms and paperwork in a POA situation. Thus, taking care of this setup early can avoid problems for your family later when they are

trying to assist you.

In this vein, you should also provide your family, executor and POA information on where and who to call if you should become incapacitated. This can make a difficult time a little easier.

■ Review your beneficiaries In this same mindset, checking the beneficiaries on your retirement accounts is also important. Beneficiaries named on insurance and retirement accounts (employer plans, IRAs, annuities) supersede those named in your will. Older accounts may still have a former spouse named as beneficiary or be missing a youngest child. It may be a good idea to name a primary and contingent beneficiaries.

It is important to name beneficiaries appropriately on retirement accounts and avoid the IRA assets going into your estate.

■ Gift, but gift wisely Many would like to give to charities and loved ones for tax benefits and to help those in need. A person can gift up to $14,000 per individual in tax-free gifts. This means a wife and husband could gift $56,000 per year to their son and daughter-in-law.

For charities, gifting appreciated stock in place of cash can reduce capital gains and generate an income tax deduction. If you are over age 70 1/2, you can make a charitable donation from your IRA up to $100,000 under favorable tax provisions.

■ Maximize IRA contributions To save taxes for 2016, there is still time to make contributions to retirement accounts. This is a way to pay you first, rather than the government.

You still have until April 2017 to make contributions for this year to individual retirement accounts (IRA and Roth IRA accounts). You can check with an adviser to see if you are eligible. The maximum contribution is $5,500, and $6,500 if you are over age 50. With a traditional IRA, you get the tax benefit on the contribution and with the Roth you get the benefit when withdrawn.

If you get a bonus this quarter, consider taking all or some of it to maximize your 401(k). Even if you don’t get a bonus, look at increasing the money you are putting into your employer’s retirement plan each year. Even increasing your contribution by 1 percent would help over time. It is also important you are getting the full employer match.

If you are not sure, check with your HR department.

■ Shift to a Roth IRA If you lost your job or have particularly low income this year, you may want to look at converting part or all of a

traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. It will create taxes now, but any earnings after the conversion will be free from taxation when taken in qualified distributions.

The Roth also avoids the age 70 1/2 required minimum distribution. For families or individuals with sufficient income outside of their retirement accounts, this can save a lot in income taxes by avoiding withdrawing funds that are not needed.

■ Age 70 1/2 or older? Take your RMD If you are 70 1/2, always remember to take your required minimum distributions from retirement accounts.

The penalty for not doing so is one of the worst in the IRS code. The tax penalty is 50 percent of the required amount, so a $1,000 RMD not taken in the year required would have a $500 tax penalty.

Real estate agents attend women’s expo STATE COLLEGE — RE/MAX Centre Realty agents Kris Hanahan and Tonya Cornwall recently participated in the eighth annual Entrepreneurial Women’s Expo at Celebration Hall in State College. The event was an opportunity for women entrepreneurs to network, learn and share their knowledge and concerns. Hanahan has been involved with EWE since its inception, serving as a workshop presenter, and now in her third year as master of ceremonies.

“EWE continues to refocus me in my business and helps to nourish the positive attitude that I try to bring into my daily interaction with my RE/MAX family,” said Hanahan.

“My development as a professional throughout my years at RE/MAX also translates back to the EWE group through my speaking and interactions with the women there.”

U.S. Rep. Glenn Thompson, R-Bellefonte, sponsored the attendance of 40 high school and college women at the conference. This is the second year of this Aspiring Women Entrepreneurs opportunity.

Home is more than a place. It is welcoming, warm, and familiar—it feels safe. It feels right. At Kish, our clients expect that sense of security, stability, confidence, and trust that home brings. They know that when they interact with Kish, they will be welcomed, recognized, and appreciated.

For 116 years, Kish has been building value for individuals, families, and businesses in central Pennsylvania and is proud that we can still call this wonderful place Home. After all, there’s no place we’d rather be.

This is home. Kish is home.

Researchers’ new process combines incompatible materials

By WALT MILLS Penn State Live

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State researchers’ new technology, cold sintering process, opens a window on the ability to combine incompatible materials, such as ceramics and plastics, into new, useful compound materials, and to lower the energy cost of many types of manufacturing.

Ceramics is the oldest known manmade material, dating back tens of thousands of years. Throughout that time, nearly all ceramics were made by heating to high temperatures, either by firing in kilns or sintering ceramic powders in furnaces, both of which require large amounts of energy.

“In this day and age, when we have to be incredibly conscious of the carbon dioxide budget, the energy budget, rethinking many of our manufacturing processes, including ceramics, becomes absolutely vital,” said Clive Randall, professor of materials science and engineering at Penn State who developed the process with his team.

“Not only is this a low-temperature process (room temperature up to 200 degrees Celsius), but we are also densifying some materials to over 95 percent of their theoretical density in 15 minutes. We can now make a ceramic faster than you can bake a pizza, and at lower temperatures.”

The following property transactions were compiled from information provided by the Centre County recorder of deeds, Joseph Davidson.

In a recent article in Advanced Functional Materials, Randall and his coauthors describe the co-sintering of ceramic and thermoplastic polymer composites using CSP. Three types of polymer were selected to complement the properties of three types of ceramics — a microwave dielectric, an electrolyte and a semiconductor — in order to highlight the diversity of applicable materials. These composite materials demonstrate new possibilities for dielectric property design, and both ionic and electronic electrical conductivity design. These composites can be sintered to high density at 120 degrees Celsius in 15 to 60 minutes.

According to the researchers, the process involves wetting ceramic powder with a few drops of water or acid solution. The solid surfaces of the particles decompose and partially dissolve in the water to produce a liquid phase at particle-to-particle interfaces. Adding temperature and pressure causes the water to flow and the solid particles to rearrange in an initial densification process.

Then, in a second process, clusters of atoms or ions move away from where the particles are in contact, aiding diffusion, which then minimizes surface free energy, allowing the particles to pack tightly together. The key is knowing the exact combination of moisture, pressure, heat and time required to capture the reaction rates so the ma-

It is a good idea to review your situation with your accountant, financial adviser and, sometimes, your attorney annually or when changes occur. It also helps if they can interact amongst one another and you give them permission to do so.

terial fully crystallizes and gets to very high density.

“I see cold sintering process as a continuum of different challenges,” Randall said. “In some systems, it’s so easy you don’t need pressure. In others you do. In some you need to use nanoparticles. In others, you can get away with a mixture of nanoparticles and larger particles. It really all depends on the systems and chemistries you are talking about.”

The Penn State team has begun building a library of the precise techniques required to use CSP on various materials systems, with 50 processes verified to-date. These include ceramic-ceramic composites, ceramic-nanoparticle composites and ceramic-metals, as well as the ceramicpolymers discussed in this paper.
