STATE COLLEGE — Two former Penn State coaches deny allegations that they had witnessed or were aware of child sexual abuse by Jerry Sandusky.

Tom Bradley, currently UCLA’s defensive coordinator, and Greg Schiano, currently Ohio State’s co-defensive coordinator both said on Tuesday afternoon that they never saw or suspected abuse by former Penn State defensive coordinator Sandusky during their time on the Penn State coaching staff, countering allegations in a deposition unsealed on Tuesday morning.

The allegations were included among the hundreds of pages of documents unsealed in Penn State’s ongoing lawsuit with its insurer over who is responsible for settlement payments to individuals who have accused former Sandusky of child sexual abuse.

TOM BRADLEY In a deposition, former Penn State assistant Mike McQueary said that in the mid-2000s, years after he reported it to Penn State officials, he told defensive coordinator Tom Bradley about the 2001 incident in which he says he saw Sandusky abusing a boy in a locker room shower. Bradley, McQueary said, told him he had heard a few similar reports, including one from Schiano in the early 90s.

“At no time did Tom Bradley ever witness any inappropriate behavior,” said Brett Senior, a representative for Bradley.

“Nor did he have any knowledge of alleged incidents in the ’80s and ’90s. He has consistently testified as such. Any assertions to the contrary are false. When he beGREG SCHIANO came aware of the 2001 incident it had already been reported to the University administration years earlier.”

In a statement to ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Tuesday afternoon, Schiano also said the allegation about him is untrue.

McQueary claimed that he briefly discussed what he witnessed with Bradley, who had been on the Penn State staff since 1979 and succeeded Sandusky as defensive coordinator after the 1999 season.

“He said he knew of some things,” McQueary testified. “He said another assistant coach had come to him in the early ’90s about a very similar situation to mine, and he said that he had -- someone had come back to him as far back as the early ’80s about seeing Jerry doing something with a boy.”

McQueary said Bradley identified the early

UNIVERSITY PARK — On July 12, a precedent-setting industrial partnership was announced between Morgan Advanced Materials and Penn State University.

Neil Sharkey, vice president of research for Invent Penn State, made the announcement at the Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel during CARBON 2016, the World Conference on Carbon.

“The collaboration is a win-win situation for all involved,” Sharkey said. “Our commitment to developing new methodologies and making further scientific discoveries in carbon science is closely aligned with Morgan’s company vision, mission and commitment to the markets it serves.”

According to Sharkey, Morgan Advanced Materials and Penn State will be a perfect partnership.

“Morgan’s expertise and commercial insights will provide our researchers with a solid foundation to deliver workable, commercially viable solutions that distinguish both Penn State and Morgan in a fiercely competitive marketplace, while contributing to job creation and economic development in State College and in the commonwealth,” he said.

Mike Murray, the chief technical officer at Morgan Advanced Materials, was on hand for the announcement. He said that Penn State is the ideal location for

Guelich honored by county commissioners

By G. KERRY WEBSTER kwebster@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — She’s just 17 years old, and already she has experienced more in her young life than many of the students she helps teach at Penn State University. Yes, you read that right. A 17-year-old guiding college-age students.

Taylor Guelich graduated from Philipsburg-Osceola Area High School in 2014 at the age of 15 and is preparing to begin her junior year at Penn State. If all goes according to plan, she’ll graduate with a master’s degree by the age of 20.

“It’s an honor to be recognized by everyone here,” said Guelich, daughter of Dan and Kirsten Guelich, of Sandy Ridge, Rush Township, while addressing the Centre County board of commissioners during their July 12 meeting. “My hard work is paying off, and I’m very lucky to have the support that I do around me. It’s surely been interesting.”

She was invited to the meeting by Centre County Commissioner Mark Higgins, who announced Guelich would be featured in this month’s edition of The Penn Stater with the distinction of being the

Hughes, Kidder and Rounds return to Arts Fest

By CHARLES C. DuBOIS Special to the Gazette

STATE COLLEGE — Randy Hughes, Glenn Kidder and Jon Rounds, long among the most popular Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts entertainers, are back with new music and the release of “The Schoolhouse Project,” their debut album as a trio.

HKR will perform at 8 p.m. Saturday, July 16, in the State College Presbyterian Church, 132 W. Beaver Ave. The new CD will be available to purchase.

The show requires an Arts Fest button for admittance.

Together for nearly 35 years as threequarters of Cartoon, the three musicians found they simply couldn’t lay aside their partnership after that group last performed in 2012. The fire was still there and they reunited as Hughes, Kidder & Rounds, performing publicly for the first time at the 2015 Arts Fest before an enthusiastic crowd.

Anticipating this year’s festival and the CD release, guitarist/songwriter Rounds said, “‘The Schoolhouse Project’ and this year’s fest show are so closely connected I can’t separate them in my mind. But, I guess last year’s show, the first for HKR, is what really planted the seed for the recording.

“People liked the new material, and when we approached Rick Bryant, fest director, about a 2016 show, he said, ‘Yes. No, hell yes!’”

The momentum led to the swapping of song ideas online, writing new music and lyrics and finding the drive to record the results.

Enter Chris Younken, long a significant presence on the State College music scene as a performer, producer and recording engineer. Rounds sought Younken’s help to record the album and a place in which to do it.

Years back, according to Younken, he had been photographing the old church that stands above Linden Hall, just east of State College. He met Len Rockey, who,

with friend Ron Kreidler, had led the refurbishment of the old one-room Rock Hill School across from the church. Rockey gave him a tour “I was struck by not only how well it was renovated, but also the cool vibe and sweet acoustics it had,” said Younken, “and thought, ‘Someday, it would be great to record acoustic music here.’”

Having a visit of his own, Rounds quickly agreed.

So, for four days in March, the Rock Hill School was strewn with wires, mics, guitars and digital gear, and rocking to the sounds of music being recorded. And, it wasn’t just Hughes, Kidder and Rounds making that music — it was also some of the cream of crop from the State College music scene.

Harmonica wizard Richard Sleigh, a longtime fixture with Cartoon, added his signature sound. Tommy Wareham took lead vocal and guitar honors on “You Change,” a tune that’s a staple of his gigs at the American Alehouse. Olivia Jones, whose vocal presence is central to the J.R. Mangan Band, added her soulful sounds throughout the tracks. And, Eileen Christman, who performs with OverheaD and other local groups, brought a unique richness with her violin. (Both Sleigh and Christman are expected to perform with HKR during the festival.)

“The Schoolhouse Project” features 10 tracks, including eight new songs and two never-before recorded. Rounds and Kidder took the lead on writing, with support on structure, editing and arrangement from Hughes.

The new songs were simmering slowly over recent years and polished for performance at the 2015 festival. Three songs debuted then —“Why Wasn’t Love Enough,” “Til the Sun Gets Here” and “Nobody Gonna Notice.” Rounding out the CD are two older songs by Rounds —“You Gave It Away” and “You Change,” a classic first performed by The Rounds Brothers Band in the 1970s and later by Cartoon.

“I’m really proud of this album,” said Kidder. “It was an absolutely wonderful recording experience, and working with

CHRIS YOUNKEN/Special to the Gazette

TAKING A BREAK during their March recording sessions in Linden Hall are, from left, Jon Rounds, Randy Hughes and Glenn Kidder, all former members of the band Cartoon. They now perform as HKR. Chris Younken, our engineer and project consultant, was fantastic.

“Having such skilled local players help us with the music and the ambient charm and acoustics of the Rock Hill School all added to the magic. It made the experience feel very community-based in the area where the three of us flourished as musicians, way back when.”

“We’re really happy with the songs and performances,” said Hughes. “The recording quality, mixing, mastering by our engineer Chris Younken and his friend and mentor, T-Bone Edmonds, the graphics and photography — whew! The whole package has certainly exceeded our high expectations.

“We think friends of the band new and old will appreciate what we’ve done with the help of a lot of really talented people.”

And, even the festival approaches, the creative magic continues. HKR just put the last touches on two recently written songs expected to be heard for the first time at their show. Band members are psyched.

“We just finished up a three-day rehearsal at Glenn’s place in Covington, Va.,” said Rounds. “We’ll do another few days in State College before the fest gig.

“I feel reborn.”

Chainsaw Wizards event to benefit Centre County PAWS

By G. KERRY WEBSTER

IF YOU GO

kwebster@centrecountygazette

STATE COLLEGE — Wood chips are going to fly.

Those looking for a less-than-traditional art medium Friday, July 15, and Saturday, July 15, might want to check out the inaugural Chainsaw Wizards event at Harner Farm, located at the intersection of West College Avenue and Whitehall Road in State College.

“Chainsaw carving is sure becoming a popular form of art,” said Michael McGuire, of McGuire Concepts, a coordinator of the event, as well as one of the chainsaw artists who will be present and carving this weekend. “It’s definitely something different, but, it’s not like watching paint dry.

“Carving wood with a motorized saw is both fun to do and fun to watch. That’s why this art form is catching on so well.”

Earlier this year, at the 2016 Ridgway Chainsaw Carvers Rendezvous, McGuire met Dan Harner, of Harner Farm, and the two got to gabbing.

“We were introduced by Ed Crow, of Ed Crow’s Chainsaw Carvings in State College,” said McGuire. “(Harner) was interested in bringing a group of carvers together for an event in Central Pennsylvania. I’m from Altoona, so of course, I was all for it.”

Harner said the two hit it off immediately.

“He was interested in the same thing I was,” said Harner. “We wanted to start something on our own and that’s how Chainsaw Wizards was born.”

The pair got to work. McGuire began recruiting carvers from across the state, while Harner prepared the logistics of using his farm and surrounding facilities to host the event.

Although it may not boast the 190-plus carvers who attended the Ridgway event earlier this year, McGuire said he is happy to report 10 carvers have confirmed their attendance.

Harner said no special saws are used in making the creations, but finer detailed work requires a finer saw blade.

Guelich, from page 1 “It just goes to show that if you have a gift, and you use it, it’s an amazing life you can have.”

Guelich briefly discussed her immediate status at Penn State, and shed a little light on what may be in the future.

“I’m studying architectural engineering,” she said.

“After I graduate, I’d like to feel things out and get some experience, but eventually, I like to design and own my own company.”

She’s on the fast track to do just that as the experience and education continues to grow. She’s currently working as an intern at Penn State’s physical plant, and she’s also educating students through the university’s Teacher Assistant program.

“It’s a great experience learning and working with all

Carvings will be auctioned off at 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 16. A portion of the proceeds will benefit PAWS. He said the carvers will be using white pine logs, taking advantage of the wood’s softness.

Carvers will set up their stations beginning Thursday, July 14, and, according to Harner, many will begin making their art that evening. The farm grounds will then open at 10 a.m. Friday and Saturday and visitors are encouraged to come watch the artists work. There also will be demonstrations throughout both days of the event.

“We have a guy who is bringing a portable mill, and if you haven’t seen one of those work, it’s just something you have to witness,” said McGuire.

At 2 p.m. Saturday, July 16, the carvers will auction off their creations, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit Centre County PAWS. “We talked about donating a portion of the proceeds to different organizations, but when it came down to it, PAWS was the only group that seemed willing to want to pitch in and send some volunteers out to talk about their organization,” said Harner. “We’re glad we selected such a hard-working and dedicated group of caring people to give some money to.”

Artists will also having carvings available for purchase.

Harner said those attending the event are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or a blanket if they plan to stay around and watch the carvings. He said concessions will be available and parking is free.

kinds of people,” she told Centre County Gazette after the meeting.

“I’m thankful I can be here in such an incredible educational environment. I’ve had a great time so far, and I’m learning so much. I love Penn State.”

She said her accelerated journey wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for the programs and classes she was able to take while at P-O. “I had a lot of support from the district and administration while I was at P-O, and that definitely helped,” she said. “When I left high school, I already had 24 college credits.”

Penn State may add another Guelich to its ranks in 2017. Her brother Payton, a letter-winning basketball player, golfer and academic standout, will be a senior at P-O in the fall.

Murray noted that State College has proximity to a number of Morgan’s manufacturing sites in Pennsylvania, including Latrobe, St. Marys, Coudersport, Wilkes-Barre, East Stroudsburg and Allentown.

According to Murray, over the course of three years, Morgan is expected to make a multi-million dollar investment aimed at creating a world-class research facility.

Once operational, the center is expected to create a range of highly skilled research jobs over the course of the next few years.

He said the support Morgan has received has been unprecedented.

“Support from Penn State University, the Pennsylvania Governor’s Action Team and the Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County has been vital in making this center a reality. By working collaboratively, we envisage our discoveries will drive the industry forward, pushing the boundaries of technological innovation in the years to come,” Murray said.

The agreement is the first global industrial partnership formed through Invent Penn State, which is the university’s initiative to spur economic development, job creation and student career success. It was started by Penn State President Eric Barron last year.

Sheri Collins is Pennsylvania’s deputy secretary in the Office of Tech and Innovation at the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development. She said the partnership between Morgan and Penn State is a perfect fit.

“A lot of times, people talk about the power of partnership,” Collins said. “You have to wonder what that really means. It’s very easy to talk about it, but Penn State is actually doing it.

“What we have learned is that Penn State — under the direction of President Barron — has really stood behind its word.”

The partnership between Morgan Advanced Materials and Penn State will result in development at Innovation Park. A projected 30,000-square-foot mixed-use facility will house the Centre of Excellence. It is projected to open in 2017.

Vern Squier, president and CEO of the Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County, also spoke about the partnership.

“The CBICC/Centre County Economic Development Partnership and its economic development investors are excited by Morgan Advanced Materials’ decision to locate in Centre County,” Squier said. “The Carbon Science Centre of Excellence announcement highlights the benefits of the collective community partnership with Penn State to advance economic development through job and wealth creation that was envisioned in the memorandum of agreement signed locally between Penn State and the CBICC last year.

“The Centre of Excellence is a great opportunity, one that can serve as a building block for future business investment opportunities in the region.”

County commissioners thank officers

By G. KERRY WEBSTER kwebster@centrecountygazette

BELLEFONTE — On the heels of the recent sniper killing of five police officers in Dallas, Centre County’s board of commissioners took a moment at the beginning of their July 12 meeting to thank local law enforcement officers and emergency responders for the work they do to serve and protect the citizens of the Centre Region.

Commissioner Steve Dershem invited Centre County Sheriff Bryan Sampsel and Jeff Wharran, Centre County’s Emergency Management Agency director, to the gathering to discuss the role of law enforcement and first responders in the local communities.

“I just think Centre County residents need to know how important law enforcement is and all the good things all our local law enforcement agencies do,” said Dershem.

“What happened in Dallas was truly a tragic event. It just made me think of all the men and women here in Centre County putting their lives on the line for other people … people they most likely don’t even know.”

Sampsel is serving his first term as county sheriff. He said he wanted to thank all the residents of Centre County for supporting law enforcement efforts, as well as thank them for being an integral part in keeping local communities safe.

“What happened in Dallas sure does hit home, even 2,000 miles away,” said Sampsel. “We need to work together as a community and nation to stop this senseless violence.”

Wharran retired from the Pennsylvania State Police. He said he has six immediate family members still employed in the PSP ranks.

“Like (Sampsel), I want to thank the great community we live in for making it easier to do our jobs,” he said. “We all need to understand how better things are when everyone is working together. The more we learn from each other, the better things will be.”

Dershem said there are law enforcement and emergency responder personnel all over the county, from mu-

“When you see these people out, just walk up to them and thank them for what they do,” said Dershem. “They’ll appreciate that simple gesture.”

In other business, the commissioners: ■ Approved a liquid fuels application for Boggs Township in the amount of $25,000 for the purchase of a dump truck with a snow plow and a salt spreader.

Heritage Days marks a Philipsburg tradition

By G. KERRY WEBSTER kwebster@centrecountygazette.com

PHILIPSBURG — Twenty years ago, the small community of Philipsburg celebrated its bicentennial with a grand, town-wide celebration complete with good food, good people and good times. That summer celebration spurred a response from the community, which wanted its own summer celebration, and Heritage Days was born.

The 2016 version of the event kicked off July 12 and continues through Sunday, July 17. The theme for this year’s event is “Made in Philipsburg, Pennsylvania.”

“This year, we wanted our theme to reflect the many wonderful companies here in Philipsburg that make goods that are distributed worldwide,” said Heritage Days Committee member Chuck Navasky. “When people think of Philipsburg, they don’t necessarily immediately think of all the manufacturing of products that occurs here. If you take a hard look at it, you realize just how much is here.”

Companies such as Diamondback Truck Covers, Lee Industries, Harpster’s Tarps and several others were honored.

“We’ve already built a wonderful history, and now, thanks to these kinds of businesses, Philipsburg remains on the map,” Navasky said.

Three entities were recognized for their longevity in the community: Long Motor Buses, 50 years; Kephart Hardware, 110 years; and First Baptist Church, 160 years.

The fun in downtown Philipsburg began July 12 when vendor booths opened on the main thoroughfare. Dozens of food and craft vendors, as well as several local businesses and organizations, lined Front Street. Entertainment included children’s activities, a kids’ watermelon-eating

contest and live performances from Blooming Onion, Accafellow and The Rattlers. The Moshannon Valley Branch of the Centre County YMCA’s Student Youth Theater offered a street performance, as did students in Shaw and Ghaner’s School of Dance.

Highlights for the Thursday, July 14, the third official day of the celebration, included live performances by Mutual Friends, Adam Becker & John Cinino, the Restlsess Renegades and Navasky’s newly formed band of local musciains, THRIVE. Philipsburg’s community band, known as

THE CENTRE COUNTY GAZETTE

Boal Mansion to host antique show and blueberry festival

By G. KERRY WEBSTER kwebster@centrecountygazette.com

BOALSBURG — It’s been a busy time at the Boal Mansion in Boalsburg.

On July 11, museum director Robert Cameron said people from 20 states and three continents visited the historic grounds just the previous week. Now, that number is expected to grow: The first-ever Boal Mansion Antique Show and Blueberry Festival is slated for Friday, July 15, and Saturday, July 16, on the historic grounds.

“We’re way ahead as far as the number of visitors go this year compared to this time last year,” said Cameron. “It’s truly amazing. And, with what we have lined up here this weekend, we’re sure going to see a lot more people.”

According to Cameron, this new festival was spurned from a similar event the mansion holds during the Memorial Day weekend.

“We thought we’d offer something else for people to come out and enjoy,” he said. “The Memorial Day event is very popular, so we thought we’d give this a try. I’m pretty excited for it.”

Space is readily available at the 200-acre site and more than a dozen antique dealers from across the Northeast have already staked their claim. Cameron said spots are still available. “We still have plenty of room for quality antique dealers to come in, set up and show off what you have,” he said.

Those interested in participating are encouraged to contact Cameron at (814) 876-0129 to reserve space.

During the event, visitors also will be able to purchase some tasty blueberry-themed food and snack items.

“We recently finished up a trail program, and it weaves Allegations, from page 1 ’90s assistant as Schiano, who would go on to be head coach of Rutgers and the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers before joining the Ohio State program. “... Greg had come into his office white as a ghost and said he just saw Jerry doing something to a boy in the shower. And that’s it. That’s all he ever told me,” McQueary said.

Schiano was a graduate assistant at Penn State in 1990 and a defensive backs coach from 1991-95.

right through our popular blueberry bushes,” said Cameron. “That got us thinking. We know there are strawberry festivals around, but I don’t know of any blueberry festivals. Picking blueberries is a tradition here at Boal Mansion, and we want to preserve that little piece of local history.”

Cameron said museum tours will also be available during the show.

“Those who never visited us are astounded to see what we have here,” he said. “Our weapon displays goes back to the Middle Ages, and we have lots of things from the Civil War and World War I, all related to the local area.”

He said a handful of antique carriages and other modes of early transportation will be on display, including an original stagecoach from 1850. Period clothing will be available to wear for photos, and proceeds from the photos will be used to offset costs to renovate an antique surrey for an upcoming museum display on early transportation.

“There’s a lot going on at Boal Mansion this summer,” said Cameron. “This is just the kick-off point.”

He said plans are in the works for an Urban Garlic Festival on Saturday, Aug. 27.

“Instead of getting a blueberry milkshake, visitors will be able to get a garlic milkshake,” he joked.

McQueary added that he did not know if Bradley reported the alleged incidents.

Bradley served as Penn State’s interim head coach following the dismissal of Joe Paterno in November 2011 until the hiring of Bill O’Brien in January 2012. Before joining the UCLA program in 2015, he was an assistant at West Virginia in 2014.

The documents also reveal allegations that two other former assistant coaches may have witnessed Sandusky committing abuse acts. In one, an accuser identified as John Doe 75 said in his deposition that in the summer of 1987 former assistant coach Joe Sarra walked into the football coaches’ meeting room when Sandusky had his hand inside the waistband of the then-13-year-old’s shorts. He said Sarra may have said “Oh, sorry,” before leaving. Sarra, who was primarily a defensive assistant under Sandusky beginning in 1984, died in 2012.

In another case, a man identified as John Doe 101, said in his deposition that Sandusky had been abusing him when former Penn State graduate assistant and assistant strength coach Kevin O’Dea walked into the room, and that Sandusky made it appear he was rubbing the accuser’s back. In other unsealed documents, that case was alleged to have occurred in 1988. However, O’Dea did not join the Penn State program until 1991.

Penn State to implement 24/7 parking fees

By GEOFF RUSHTON StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — There will be no more freebies when it comes to parking in Penn State parking garages.

The university — which charges its employees $37 a month to drive to work and will charge fans $20 to park for the Blue-White Game next spring — announced July 8 that, with the installation of new equipment this summer, the East, Nittany and HUB parking decks will have 24-hour per day, seven-days-a-week operations and parking fees.

That means the East Deck, which previously employed free short-term parking for the convenience of Berkey Creamery customers, will implement a new short-term payment structure.

To park a vehicle in order to spend money at the Berkey Creamery, the fee will be prorated at 25 cents for each 15-minute interval up to the first hour and $1 per hour afterward. Parking at Meyer Dairy on South Atherton Street remains free.

Aside from the prorated short-term rate at the East Deck, each of the three decks will require hourly parking fees at all times, so no more free parking at night or on weekends. The university is installing new equipment that will allow the garages to operate more like those in downtown State College.

Credit cards will finally be accepted at each of the decks.

New pay-on-foot stations are being installed, which will allow use of all exit lanes for both permit holders and visitors. Electronic signage also will be installed.

Students, faculty and staff with permits for one of the decks will be contacted about receiving new permits.

For visitors, being required to pay to park at all times in those decks is a change, one which the school claims “will more fairly distribute the costs associated with maintaining parking facilities and operations.”

“Evening, overnight and weekend parking will remain available at no charge in select campus lots, with information on these areas to be made available online,” according to a Penn State release.

Heritage Days, from page 5 The live performances will continue Friday, July 15, with Chandler and Dani, Not Ashamed, Rick Chew and Temptation Alley, and Randy Clark and the Rusty Spurs.

The annual flower show at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“Saturday is going to be a bit different this year because we’re not going to have fireworks on Saturday night,” said Navasky. The Cold Stream Dam area has been the premiere spot for the Heritage Days fireworks for more than a decade; however, due to a state Department of Environmental Protection mandated dam breast replacement project, the area is off limits to the public.

“I know a lot of people enjoy the fireworks show, but that was just something out of our control this year.”

Although fireworks won’t light the sky, the grand parade will step off at 2 p.m. Saturday, July 16. A drum and bugle corps presentation is scheduled for 5 p.m. near the Towers on Front Street.

The celebration concludes Sunday, July 17, with a car show and a cow chip bingo fundraising event.

Congress acts to aid mentally ill people

By The Sacramento Bee In an era when bipartisanship is rare, the U.S. House of Representatives has taken a step toward providing more care and treatment of severely mentally ill people.

The U.S. Senate should take a cue from the House and approve the Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act. The bill, introduced after the slaughter at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012, passed the House by a vote of 422-2 — not a typo. Speaker Paul Ryan and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi agreed, as did the most conservative Republicans and most liberal Democrats.

Hardly an end-all, the bill doesn’t help mentally ill people find housing, and it definitely is no substitute for farreaching gun safety legislation. But by approving the bill, the House showed a commitment to a long-ignored issue.

The bill seeks to make clear to mental health care providers that they would not be violating federal privacy law if they share information with family members about mentally ill adult children, siblings or spouses. That one provision makes the bill worthwhile. It also could provide more money to states to hospitalize the most severely mentally ill people, require Medicare to pay for anti-psychotic medication, and provide greater parity in care for people with physical and mental illnesses.

The legislation provides some money — though not enough — for suicide prevention, to train police to handle severely mentally ill people, and to encourage states to undertake more intensive outreach programs to help mentally ill people who resist treatment. This bill creates the position of assistant secretary for mental health and substance use disorders, offering an important bully pulpit to advocate for the mentally ill.

Pennsylvania Republican Rep. Tim Murphy deserves praise for raising the issue, sticking with it and winning over Democrats. Michigan’s Energy and Commerce Committee chair Fred Upton, a Republican, and New Jersey Rep. Frank Pallone, the ranking Democrat on the committee, reached the final compromise.

In this election year, Democrats and Republicans will seek every advantage as they try to win or maintain control of Congress. But they also must understand that mental illness knows no party, and that they all will come away with victory if they provide some measure of care for people who cannot care for themselves.

In this day and age of instant gratification, you waited while those around you got their food and went back to their seats.

And, while most of the customers were polite and kind, there were a select few of you who need to put down your phones, speak clearly and simply be nice. Those working the stands are there for you. They want to make your experience at the ballpark not just good, but great.

However, it’s a two-way street. My mother always told me to be respectful — whether I was speaking to a garbage man or my boss. It’s really not that hard to do when you put your mind to it.

On night No. 2, it was more of the same. It was bobblehead night, so fans were through the gates early.

And when our soda machines went down, there was no panic from the staff. While they worked to get the machines up and running again, we informed customers they’d have to find their Pepsi at an alternate stand.

Once again, the night flew by.

Once again, it was fun. Sure, cleaning out a sink or scrubbing down a counter might not sound like the best way to spend a weekend night.

But, when you’re doing it for the right reasons, it all makes sense.

I can only imagine what happens when people subject themselves to that hate over and over. Lonely. Sad. Disturbed. Frustrated. The internet provides people who are already disengaged with misinformation and a direction in which to focus their anger. Social media via the internet provides those same people with an “us” to stand together against the “them.”

I’m sure the early developers of the internet had no idea of both the good and the bad that would come with the expansion of those first early computers that talked to each other over a very slow phone line. I doubt that the inventors of the personal computer or the iPhone understood the harm that would come from our ability to connect so quickly. When Mark Zuckerberg and his friends invented Facebook, I’m sure they never envisioned people using it to recruit and exploit their negative agendas.

The internet allows us to do some pretty incredible things. It also allows human nature to be at our worst.

Anonymity without accountability opens the door for people who want to do harm. From bullying to the distribution of child pornography — or worse — the internet allows those with intent to spread their hate.

We need to remember to check sources. We need to remember that personal connections are better than anything we can make online. We need to remember to look out for our kids or our friends or our neighbors who are spending too much time on the internet. We also need to remind ourselves to unplug. With the presidential race, the police-related shootings and all of the other madness in the world, we need to keep the internet in check.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

Infant sleeping habits may have impact on childhood obesity HERSHEY — Teaching parents bedtime techniques to encourage healthy sleep habits in their infants may help prevent obesity, according to Penn State College of Medicine researchers. Strong links exist between inadequate sleep and childhood obesity.

Researchers are studying the use of an intervention to prevent rapid infant weight gain and childhood obesity. Through the INSIGHT — or Intervention Nurses Start Infants Growing on Healthy Trajectories — study, the intervention was recently shown to cut in half the incidence of 1-year-old infants being overweight. One component of the intervention promotes improving sleep-related behaviors for parents and their infants.

In the study, parents were randomly assigned to one of two groups. Both groups received educational materials and four home nurse visits. One group received obesity prevention education that included sleep-related behaviors, bedtime routines, improving sleep duration and avoiding feeding and rocking to sleep. The other group received safety education about preventing sudden infant death syndrome.

Infants of parents who learned bedtime techniques had more consistent bedtime routines, earlier bedtimes, better sleep-

related behaviors and longer sleep during the night than the infants of parents who received the safety training. These infants were more likely to self-soothe to sleep without being fed and were less likely to be fed back to sleep when they awoke overnight.

Researchers published their results in Pediatrics.

The researchers found that infant selfsoothing to sleep and early bedtimes are specifically important in prolonging sleep time. At age 9 months, babies who were put to bed by 8 p.m. and allowed to selfsoothe to sleep slept an average of 80 minutes longer than babies whose bedtimes were after 8 p.m. and did not selfsoothe.

“A lot of parents try to keep their babies up longer, thinking that then they’ll sleep longer at night and they won’t wake up,” said study lead author Dr. Ian M. Paul, professor of pediatrics and public health sciences. “We found that’s not true. When parents keep babies up longer, they just sleep less. If you want your baby to sleep longer and better, put them to sleep earlier. Regardless of what time you put babies to sleep, they wake overnight. If we don’t set the expectation that they’re going to be picked up and fed, they learn to soothe

Local physicians help develop pancreatic cancer guidelines STATE COLLEGE — Practice guidelines for physicians treating a wide range of diseases have become a frequently used, if not required tool, for every physician in daily medical practice.

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

Guideline” focuses on the common circumstance of pancreatic cancer that is not treatable with surgery.

This guideline was chaired by Dr. Edward P. Balaban, medical director of Mount Nittany Health and Penn State Cancer Institute’s Cancer Care Partnership, and Dr. Nelson Yee, of the Penn State Cancer Institute. Balaban and Yee are also faculty members at Penn State College of Medicine.

Together with an expert panel of EDWARD internationally recognized physiBALABAN cians, Balaban and Yee summarize and recommend treatment approaches to an otherwise difficult patient situation.

Excited to play a key role in the guideline development, Balaban explains that this specific guideline presents all of the recognized and accepted treatment scenarios in a rapidly changing field based on the available medical evidence and clinical studies, and it is predicted that this will be a commonly referenced treatment guideline in medical oncology treatment decisions.

“Physician treatment guidelines have become a cornerstone in the practice of medicine,” said Balaban. “Nowhere are they more important than in the constantly changing and challenging field of cancer therapy.”

As new information becomes available, the panel will update the recommendations, aligning with ASCO’s mission to conquer cancer through research, education and the promotion of the highest-quality patient care.

Jim’s Anchorage supports ER expansion HUNTINGDON — J.C. Blair Memorial Hospital recently accepted a commitment from Jim’s Anchorage in support of the hospital’s Emergency Department Expansion Project.

The gift will name an exam room in the renovated space.

The exam room will be one of 14 rooms equipped with new furnishings and equipment, wall-mounted televisions and improved patient accessibility for staff.

Jim’s Anchorage is celebrating its 70th year in business.

Operated by B.J. and Ellen Filson since the 1970s, the business was started on the “old dam” in 1946 by B.J.’s parents, the late Jim and Peg Filson. Jim’s Anchorage is a boat dealership offering boats, personal water crafts and boating accessories, as well as a service department for boat and engine repair.

Jim and Peg Filson, from the beginning, included their children in the business, fostering a strong work ethic and community spirit. Today, the third generation of the Filson family is engaged in the business.

“For Huntingdon County to continue to maintain and expand quality of life, we must have a top-notch health care facility,” said Ellen Filson. “My family is committed to J.C. Blair’s ER project and encourages others to support J.C. Blair through volunteer and financial efforts.”

Construction for the emergency department expansion began in February and is expected to be completed in the fall. In addition to renovated space, a second nurses station, state-of-the-art equipment and new furnishings will be added to the space.

A state grant has provided for the construction costs, while local gifts will cover new equipment and furnishings.

Professor pens book on Head Start in Mississippi

By MATT SWAYNE Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — A federal preschool program gave a head start to more than just African-American children in segregationist-dominated Mississippi, it also offered their parents and other adults a head start into higher-paying occupations and new leadership opportunities, according to a Penn State historian.

“The idea behind the Head Start program was that we need to prepare kids from working-class backgrounds who perhaps did not have adequate stimulation at home to be prepared for the first grade, but the idea was also that you can’t expect a child from a disadvantaged background to do well if there aren’t opportunities for their parents,” said Crystal Sanders, an assistant professor of history and AfricanAmerican studies. “You have to improve the community in which the child lives.”

The Head Start preschool program grew out of a key provision of the federal Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 that required programs to operate with the maximum feasible participation of the poor.

“What this meant in regards to Head Start was that local people had the opportunity to become Head Start teachers, center directors, teachers aides and social workers,” said Sanders, who wrote about the program’s influence on the Civil Rights movement in her recently published book, “A Chance for Change: Head Start and Mississippi’s Black Freedom Struggle.”

She added that the new jobs politically empowered blacks in Mississippi by giving

them a chance to sidestep several methods that whites used to reinforce black disenfranchisement in Mississippi.

“Head Start created employment opportunities for hundreds of thousands of working-class Americans across the country, but these jobs were particularly important in Mississippi because working-class African Americans typically worked in two fields: they were agricultural workers or domestic servants,” said Sanders.

“So, Head Start provided employment opportunities for them, which is significant because it allowed them to earn higher wages than they ever made before and freed them from the control of white employers, who often controlled their political activities through their jobs.”

Managing the program funds also gave African-Americans more respect and economic clout as they worked with food and drink vendors and local contractors.

Sanders interviewed several of the 2,000 working-class black women who worked for Head Start during that era for her book.

She said that the women spoke of how their Head Start jobs changed their lives.

“One of my favorite women mentioned in the book was Hattie Saffold, who had an eighth-grade education before her Head Start employment not only allowed her to go back and get her GED, but also, a bachelor’s degree,” said Sanders. “There are countless stories of women securing Head Start jobs that allowed them to ensure that poor black children in Mississippi had quality educational opportunities, but also helped the women improve their own lives.”

At the time, public education for black students stopped at the eighth grade in several parts of Mississippi, she added.

In addition to the occupational opportunities that Head Start gave adults, Sanders said that the program gave black students new educational opportunities.

They were able to learn about African and African-American history, often for the first time.

“In Mississippi, the white ruling class controlled, limited and filtered what black students learned in black schools, so even during the age of segregation, black students did not learn black history in black schools,” said Sanders. “Through Head Start, local people had the opportunity to create the curriculum they wanted and they created a curriculum that prioritized black history and West African heritage and culture. And that was a way to foster self-esteem among young people who were too often told that they didn’t have a history.”

Students also received regular health, vision and hearing screenings, as well as daily nutritious meals.

“This is huge because many of these students have never been seen by a doctor before and many were children of sharecroppers, which meant that they often received diets that were heavy in starches and not balanced meals,” said Sanders. “The idea is that these students can only achieve academically if they are well.”

Head Start was one of several federal anti-poverty programs started under President Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty

Mountaintop pool struggles to stay afloat

By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

SNOW SHOE — The Mountaintop Swimming Pool was constructed in Snow Shoe in 1968, and since its opening in 1969 the pool has been a staple of summertime recreation for several generations of citizens from the Snow Shoe, Moshannon, Clarence and Pine Glen areas.

In 2011, for the first time in its history, the pool did not open for business. It was in need of repairs, maintenance and a general refurbishing, and the pool’s board was out of both money and volunteer labor. A fundraising campaign — consisting of a car show and craft fair, chicken barbecues, dances, bingo, and several other events — was mounted to rescue the pool, with hopes of reopening in 2012.

The board’s efforts, along with private donations and grant money from the Centre County Board of Commissioners, the Central Pennsylvania Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Centre County Foundation, yielded nearly $62,000, which ended up paying for the pool improvements.

“The community has really come together and supported us,” said former board president Tom Taylor when the pool reopened in 2012.

Time has passed and, once again, the Mountaintop Swimming Pool’s board finds itself struggling to make ends meet.

SAM STITZER/For the Gazette

THE MOUNTAINTOP SWIMMING POOL has served residents of the Snow Shoe, Moshannon, Clarence and Pine Glen areas since 1969.

According to current pool board president Jennifer Nastase, the pool has some high ongoing maintenance costs and some improvements still remain to be made. She said pool memberships have decreased in recent years, significantly affecting reve-

nues. Several fundraisers are planned, and donations are being sought.

To help bring swimmers to the pool, the board has established a bus run on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the month of July, with a bus supplied by the Bald

Eagle School District. This program has been successful so far, according to pool manager Barb Mitchell. “Initially, we had 27 kids sign up, and we got more phone calls,” she said.

Swimming lessons are also offered on those days, as is day care on Thursday afternoons. The pool is also available for private pool parties.

Mitchell said the pool attracts people from outside the immediate area. The Snow Shoe and Bellefonte branches of the Centre County Youth Services Bureau both send youngsters to the pool for recreation.

Plans for improving the pool include adding a heater, a new slide, a picnic pavilion with tables and a gas grill on the property.

Mitchell, as well the pool board members, grew up with the Mountaintop Pool.

“When I was growing up, my mom would drop us off here before the gate even opened, and we were here till seven at night,” she said. “It didn’t matter if it rained or shined — we were here.”

She praised the community for its support of the pool.

“People would come in and get a membership and throw donations in.”

She said a little girl had $1.50 left after a food purchase and insisted on donating it to the pool, saying, “This is so nice — I want this pool to stay open forever.”

Kelly Miller Circus makes a stop in Centre Hall

By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — The American traveling circus dates back to the early 1800s and has been a revered form of entertainment for generations. Citizens of small towns and cities alike rejoiced when they heard the circus was coming to town.

On July 7, that excitement came to Centre Hall, as the Kelly Miller Circus raised its tent on the grounds of American Legion Post 779 near Old Fort for a one-day stand of two shows.

Started in 1938 by Obert Miller and his sons, Kelly and Dory, the Kelly Miller Circus has entertained millions of American and Canadian citizens while establishing itself in the fabric and history of the American tented circus.

In 2007, the show was purchased by John Ringling North II. North’s great uncles were the famous Ringling Brothers, and his grandmother was their only sister.

North grew up on “The Greatest Show on Earth,” learning circus operation from his father and uncle.

The circus travels with a fleet of 36 vehicles and requires an area 350 feet square to set up. According to ringmaster Rebecca Ostrof, the huge blue tent measures 160 by 160 feet, seats up to 1,200 people and weighs 2,000 pounds. The big top was

erected and dismantled all in one day by circus workers, and no animals were used.

Entering the big top, one soon realizes that this is old-school entertainment, lacking an air-conditioned arena and comfortable seats. Customers sit on metal bleachers, warding off the July heat with paper fans, aided by two large electric fans in one corner of the tent.

The circus acts were the fare of traditional circuses, and included aerialists, a rope-spinning cowboy, a juggler, a fire breather, a comedy act with a very uncooperative mule, a clown, a dancing elephant and more. The audience responded to all the acts with enthusiastic applause and cheers.

Circus house manager Allan Kirk, from the Albany, N.Y., area is a retired teacher working his first season with the Kelly Miller Circus. He said the circus, headquartered in Hugo, Okla., performs in the Midwestern states and travels as far east as New Jersey during its March to October seasons. “We’ve got performers from many states, and some from foreign countries,” he said.

The circus was more than just a show. It was a history lesson, especially for the children in the crowd, who got a glimpse of an entertainment form their ancestors might have enjoyed in times long past.

The Avid Gardener: Yes, you can eat those flowers LORA GAUSS

This sunny season, many gardeners harness the bold colors and tastes of some summer blooms to enliven their otherwise ordinary culinary presentations.

When I was operating a bed-andbreakfast in Bellefonte, I would slip a few orange and yellow nasturtium or lavender violet petals from my garden onto plates as garnishes, adding some pizzazz to our early-morning fare.

Guests were often surprised to know that these flowers could be eaten.

Some would cautiously sample, while others were very wary. Some dove right in.

Avid gardener I am certainly not the first to use Lora Gauss lives in flowers this way. Traditionally, acPhilipsburg. Email her at community@ cording to a North Carolina State Unicentrecountygazette. versity Extension site, many types of com. cooking, including European, Asian, East Indian, Victorian English, Middle Eastern and even Early American used them as food.

Since the 1980s there has been renewed interest in flowers for use in haute cuisine, due to their fragrance, color and taste. Not only that, but edible flowers actually grow not just on annuals, but also on some biennials, perennials, trees, shrubs and vines.

However, before beginning any discussion of possible flowers, there are some important warnings to keep in mind.

First, be sure to identify flowers by genus and species to confirm that they are edible prior to eating. N.C. State also features a list of certain edible flowers in their “Choosing and Using Edible Flowers” article from its cooperative extension site.

Second, eat only those flowers that have been grown with either no pesticides or only pesticides labeled for edible crops (and ones where animal manure has not been applied to the surrounding soil for the past two months).

Also, do not use plants that have been grown on the roadside or purchased at a florist, nursery or garden center, unless they are specifically labeled as edible. In other words, if you can grow them organically in your own garden or know someone who does, that is ideal.

Once again, extension services, such as Penn State, offer guidance for growing edible flowers, addressing the desired type of soil, mulching, watering and hand-picking for pest control. It’s very similar to growing ornamentals, except that only pesticides approved for edible crops (i.e., vegetables) are used.

Here is a sampling of some easy to find, yet delicious blooms to savor in Pennsylvania gardens.

BEE BALM

Apparently, the leaves and flowers make a good substitute for oregano, with its warm spicy flavor, and it can be fresh or dried. It can be used for a dry rub or marinade for meat or fish and individual salad petals can be sprinkled into a green salad or on top of a light-colored soup.

ROSES

All roses produce edible petals, and the more fragrant the flower, the tastier the petal. Raw petals can be used in salads, to decorate cookies and cakes or to make jam or simple syrup, an ingredient used in cocktails, sorbet or icing.

They are also included in Middle Eastern and Indian recipes, and are an essential ingredient in the Moroccan spice mix ras el-hanout.

ROSE OF SHARON

Though the flowers do not necessarily have an unusual taste, the flowers make great bowls for serving cottage cheese or dips. Or, stuff them with herbed goat cheese, dip in beaten egg and breadcrumbs, and bake them. The petals can also be used raw in salads.

THE COMMON ORANGE DAYLILY

Interestingly, this straight species, which includes four different edible parts (young shoots, tubers, buds and flowers) is often used in Chinese foods, such as moo shu pork. Buds and flowers can be harvested from mid-summer to summer.

Two cups of daylily buds, picked from the time they are green until just before they open, can be sautéed in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic or onion, just as is done with green beans, and served warm.

The buds do have a green bean-ish flavor and the petals can be used to thicken liquids or added to risottos or pasta dishes for color.

Common sense dictates how edible flowers are harvested. It’s a good idea to conduct a taste test before harvesting large amounts of a certain flower and then pick the flowers at their peak in the cool of the day, prior to the dew evaporating.

Store them in a cool place after harvesting. Long stemmed flowers can be placed in a container of water, and short-stemmed flowers should be picked only three to four hours before using and stored in a refrigerator, where a damp paper towel in their plastic bag will help to keep the humidity higher.

LORA GAUSS/For the Gazette

PETALS FROM organically grown roses have many culinary uses.

Edible flowers can be used fresh, but they can also be candied, frozen into ice cubes to be used in drinks, or dried for future use by being stored in an airtight container in a cool dark location.

I always wash all flowers thoroughly before eating them and remove any insects, as well as the pistil and stamens and any possible white base where the petal was attached to the flower. (It isn’t recommended that allergy or asthma suffers eat them because of a possible sensitivity to pollen.) Also, introduce flowers into the diet in small quantities, one species at a time so that the digestive tract can adjust.

Finally, should you want to increase your expertise, any edible flower cookbook should include the following information (this from Penn State Extension’s “A Consumer Guide to Purchasing, Producing, Storing, and Using Edible Flowers): pictures of the flower/plant, description of appearance, what part is edible, how it can be used and the scientific name (genus and species) for identification.

And remember, the best thing about edible flowers is that they serve a dual purpose: They are as lovely in the garden as they are tasty in the kitchen.

Remington Ryde music festival draws large crowds

By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — The 10th annual Remington Ryde Bluegrass Festival rolled into the Grange Fairgrounds in Centre Hall on July 7, attracting a crowd of thousands gathered to enjoy 18 bands over four days.

According to event organizer Ryan Frankhouser, a member of Remington Ryde, this year’s festival was the biggest ever, drawing people from 20 states and some Canadian provinces. “It just keeps getting bigger,” he said.

Frankhouser praised the family nature of the festival, noting that many attendees bring children and grandchildren with them. “It’s one of the greatest family events in the area,” he said.

The festival acts perform on a covered portable stage, erected just west of the Grange Fair grandstand, since the crowds of spectators are too large for the Grange facility.

In addition to the musical acts, the festival includes music workshops, open jam sessions, raffles and several food and craft vendors.

Seated in lawn chairs, both in the open air and under several large circus-style shade tents, the crowd of spectators watched and listened to the musical performers, headlined by Rhonda Vincent. Vincent is a fifth-generation family musician who began singing at age 8. She has had a stellar career, culminating with her being hailed as “The Queen of Bluegrass.”

George Fishel manned a booth at the festival repre-

Arts Fest at 50: Bigger, better than ever

By JODI MORELLI correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Arts Fest turns 50 this year.

For the past five decades, Arts Fest has been synonymous with summertime in Central Pennsylvania. When people think of Arts Fest, they think music, food and getting together with old friends. Whether they look forward to lounging on the lawn of Old Main and listening to a favorite local performer or checking out the creative offerings and exhibits of hundreds of talented artists, more than anything, for everyone, Arts Fest means tradition. And it keeps people of all ages coming to downtown State College year after year.

Times and tastes have certainly changed through the years. However, this year, as Arts Fest — officially known as the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts — celebrates its 50th birthday, the sense of tradition surrounding the

event that happens each year in July is as strong as it has ever been, according to Rick Bryant, executive director of the arts festival.

Bryant has served as executive director of the festival, an independent, nonprofit corporation, for the past five years.

“Arts Fest is a huge tradition. We are trying to keep it that way,” Bryant said.

The festival was founded in 1967 by Penn State’s College of Arts and Architecture and the State College Chamber of Commerce.

One of the biggest changes the festival has experienced since that time is the fact that, when it first started, it was open to all exhibitors. Now it is a juried show.

“It wasn’t juried when it began. Juried means that people are weeded out, so not everyone can bring their work,” Bryant said.

During the first years of the festival, Bryant said that anyone could have a display, meaning that professionals and amateurs alike were selling all types and qualities of art.

In the beginning, participating artists displayed their work on the corner of Old Main lawn, and musicians performed downtown and on campus.

In addition to the type and quality of art exhibits, it is safe to say that people’s tastes in art have changed over the past several decades, as well.

“Let’s say macramé and candles used to be very big. The

Centre Glass sells and installs glass for nearly every need in the home, from windows and doors to table tops and mirrors.

Other notable changes in the art show scene in recent years include the emergence of robots as art, and increased popularity in representational painting (paintings depicting physical appearances of reality).

“Photography has always been popular at the festival.

We have just seen differences in the popularity of different subjects to be photographed through the years,” Bryant said.

According to Pat Little, of State College, a festival exhibitor and photographer who has memories of the event dating back to 1973, the biggest change is the quality of the work that is shown.

“The talent level has skyrocketed. The reason it is a premiere arts festival is really the quality of the work that the patrons come to see,” Little said.

Along with the evolution in artistic tastes through the past 50 years, Bryant said that the festival has simply grown over the decades, to make sure that the event has something to offer for everyone, regardless of age or interest.

In its 50th year, events such as Children and Youth Day, a juried gallery exhibition, the Downtown State College Improvement District Italian Street Painting Festival, sand sculpture, festival races and other activities have become hallmark activities that make up Arts Fest week.

The festival draws close to 1,000 people to the streets of downtown State College each year, and while the festival has been a fun and high-energy event since the very beginning, the atmosphere has changed to accommodate the changing world.

“We are extremely conscious of safety. We want this to be a fun event absolutely, but we also recognize that it’s just as important for people to feel safe,” Bryant said.

According to Little, one of the biggest changes he has

It was a small college event initially and now it’s a national show. When it began it was all local. Now, the best artists from across the land come here and people plan their vacations around the festival,” Little said.

Bryant said that since the festival’s beginning, life has changed in general with the digital era. He said that people are not just strolling through the festival, looking at exhibits and listening to bands. They are capturing it on social media.

Music tastes change, too, and, of course, musical tastes have changed dramatically since 1967.

“We don’t just have ‘garage bands’ anymore,” Bryant said. “We have something for everyone. Music reflects the audience demographic.”

According to Bryant, each and every year, there is a wide variety of performances on outdoor and indoor stages.

s t r A e h t f Festival o 50 years!

Arts Fest, from page 14 From blues to jazz, from bluegrass to rock, from musical theater to cabaret, the festival truly offers something for each and every musical taste. Bryant said that one of the longest-tenured bands at the festival are a local group, Cartoon.

“These guys have been a staple at the festival for many years. Whatever they do really speaks to a certain demographic,” Bryant said.

Charlie DuBois, of State College, is someone who can offer a unique perspective on the festival’s music scene through the years.

DuBois, who worked for a number of years to get the word out about local musicians, said that Arts Fest is a perfect place to get a firsthand look at musical talent in and around State College. He said the quality of musical talent at the festival has always been top-notch.

“Let’s talk about what hasn’t changed over the years,” said DuBois. “There have always been strains of local bands writing their own music, making their own mark.

There has been a continuity to the high-level of quality here. It says so much about the creativity and music scene here in State College.”

Bryant agreed that the festival’s music scene is a big draw for area music lovers. He said that festivalgoers often offer their input about what they want to hear from year to year.

Little also believes that the music plays a large role in attracting people to the festival — especially the younger generation.

“It’s not a music festival with an art show attached. It really is a premiere art show with live music as a complement to the art. It’s all about the arts — fine art or music,” Little said.

Plenty of children’s events at People’s Choice Festival

By JODI MORELLI correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

BOALSBURG — Science and creativity often go hand in hand.

And for many years at the People’s Choice Festival in Boalsburg, children have been able to get a hands-on experience in exploring the connection between science and art.

For more than a decade, the festival has featured a hands-on “museum” and mobile science lab to engage the minds and unleash the imaginations of thousands of children attending People’s Choice.

The displays that draw in crowds of young people each day during the festival come from A Quaint Corner Children’s Museum and Discovery Center in Altoona, the mobile science lab through the Lion Science Program at Penn State Altoona and Dominion Science Center in State College.

“The exhibits definitely promote science to the public,” said Dr. Richard Flarend, board president of A Quaint Cor-

ner and professor of physics at Penn State Altoona. “Other than that, one of the really great things we do is that we also help. Parents want to go and view crafts and arts and listen to music. Kids want to do something that captures their attention. These activities give a compromise so that the whole family can go to these festivals. Having these types of activities for kids makes the whole festival more family-friendly,” he said.

Flarend actually started the mobile science lab before getting involved with A Quaint Corner. He worked to help develop a traveling science lab that could be taken to area schools, and then his involvement there morphed into him becoming an active board member with the children’s museum, he said.

He explained that the museum was founded to promote

“Through the museum and the lab, we have things for little kids all the way up to adults. We try to have things to engage everyone in the family,” he said.

People’s Choice, from page 17 He urged parents to stop by with little kids, as well as school-age kids. Flarend said parents will rack their brains on brain teasers, and little kids have fun with manipulating simple stuff.

“Everyone gets to learn science on the side, which makes it really great. Everything is a toy, because it’s fun to look at and figure out. But in the end, everyone who stops by will learn a little something about science,” he said.

For Flarend, the People’s Choice Festival has become a family event. His own

children have joined him at the festival since they were infants.

That’s also the case with Ellen McHenry, who is founder, curator and exhibit builder at Dominion Science Center.

“It is my family’s favorite week of the year. We look forward to it even more than Christmas. We love being able to share our creativity and love of education with our community,” McHenry said.

McHenry’s first year at the festival dates back to 2001. Her involvement started after sending a request to the festival’s board of directors, asking them to consider including a hands-on museum for kids. Her re-

She said that this year’s theme is oceans.

The exhibit will feature a crochet coral reef, reef fishing, several beach-combing displays, a display about creatures of the deep sea and table-top mini-golf holes with an ocean theme.

quest was approved, and her first year was a smashing success. She’s been a mainstay at the festival ever since.

“In the past, we’ve had lots of different exhibits, including a small petting zoo, an outdoor mini golf with metal dinosaurs and a landscaped water fountain. Every year, we try to bring some new and different things. We hear lots of appreciative and enthusiastic comments from festivalgoers. They are very disappointed to learn that we are not located anywhere that they can visit other times in the year,” she said.

“Also new this year will be a microscope station where you can use 40x stereomicroscopes to see what it would be like to have bionic vision, plus a lot more,” she said.

McHenry designs and builds all of the exhibits, and said that they are not just science — they are art, too, which makes the museum a perfect fit for arts festivals. She said that as Dominion grows, she hopes to be able to offer more opportunities during the summer, such as some summer camps or special events.

“We’ve gots lots of unique ideas just waiting for a facility to house them,” she said.

For Flarend, the People’s Choice Festival gives people a chance to get a firsthand look at what both A Quaint Corner and the mobile lab have to offer. But more importantly, it gives kids a chance to explore science and art.

“It’s kind of always something I look forward to in the summer,” said Flarend. “I love to take these exhibits out there and watch kids and adults have fun with science.

Lots of people get to interact with the exhibits over the course of the festival. Sometimes it’s a good opportunity to roll out new exhibits.

“Whatever the case, it’s just a great chance for families to get out, enjoy and learn a little something along the way.”

Lemont Fest enters year No. 2

By JODI MORELLI correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

LEMONT — The atmosphere in and around State College this weekend will be even more festive this year as the second annual Lemont Fest gets underway.

During what is now known as “festival weekend” in the area, Lemont offers a third option to the local festival scene, providing what organizers describe as an “emerging arts festival” and a “unique alternative to Arts Fest and People’s Choice.”

Hosted by the Lemont Village Association, this free event is a celebration of local art, music and food. With vendors and exhibitors at both the Lemont Village Green and the historic Grain Elevator on Mount Nittany Road, the celebration kicks off at 11 a.m. Friday, July 15. The exhibits and vendors are open for business on Friday until 6 p.m., on Saturday, July 16, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and on Sunday, July 17, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

According to Sean Bodley, artist coordinator for the festival, many local artists find that their work doesn’t fit in either the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts or People’s Choice. Now they have an opportunity to display their work at Lemont Fest, which seeks to highlight some of the best creative talent in the area, he said.

The festival showcases locally owned businesses and entrepreneurs. For Bodley, his main task this year has been finding artist vendors and managing online and print advertising and promotional materials. Last year, he participated as a vendor, selling his paintings.

“There are lots of new things (this year). We have almost doubled the number of vendors participating, including a fair number of new artists showing work. The Altman Family has generously donated three prints of Harold Altman’s that will be raffled during the festival,” said Bodley.

“There will be live demonstrations by several artists on their craft, including traditional printmaking, outdoor landscape painting, ceramics and gemstone carving. A free yoga class will be held on Saturday at 11 a.m., led by one of our vendors, Miya Matsui, on the Village Green. There will

be a new antique car show alongside new bands, food and drinks.”

He said that an exciting exhibition will be happening at the Art Alliance of Central Pennsylvania during the festival.

“Representing Nittany” will feature a wide range of work from artists who are affiliated with Penn State (employees, students, alumni and spouses). The exhibit will be open both Saturday and Sunday throughout the day.

Sue Smith, LVA board chair, said that Amanda Kunkel, LVA board member, came up with the idea of Lemont Fest, and pitched it as a follow-up for the Lemont Christmas Market, which has traditionally been quite successful.

Smith said that vendors wanted to do an additional market, and that’s how Lemont Fest came to be last year. It was a successful inaugural year for the festival, she said.

Smith said that the association is always looking for ways to raise money to continue to rehabilitate and maintain building and ground needs in the village.

“We no longer do the Haunted Granary, so we need to do other fundraising. The Haunted Granary raised a lot each year, so we didn’t do much else except the Strawberry Festival,” she said.

According to Bodley, more than 30 vendors will have booths set up inside and outside the Grain Elevator, and local food and beverage vendors will be located on the Village Green. Local bands will play throughout the afternoons on the Village Green stage, antique cars will be on display and there will be other artistic activities for children and adults. Speeder rides will be hosted by the Bellefonte Historic Railroad Society, and art activities will be hosted by the Art Alliance of Central Pennsylvania, and other local artists.

He said that the art scene at Lemont Fest will be “magnificent.” Participating artists include some of the region’s finest painters, photographers, print makers, illustrators, sculptors, potters, quilters, jewelers and artisanal food crafters, spanning many styles. He said abstract art, landscapes, figurative work, portraits, narrative art and more will all be represented at the festival.

In terms of attendance, Smith said that about 1,800 people visited Lemont Fest last year over three days. That number only accounts for those who went through the Granary buildings, but does not include those who stayed outside. She said with increased publicity and some new features this year, she expects to see more people in attendance.

“We estimate that this year’s turnout will double last year’s. There are many more artists joining us this year who are inviting their personal followers and have engaged in a thorough advertising campaign that we believe will make the festival really pop.

“One benefit of hosting the event at the Historic Granary is that even in a downpour, festivalgoers and vendors will be able to continue their enjoyment of the festival inside.”

Clearfield pounds BEA in Little League tourney

By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

CLEARFIELD — The first time Clearfield met BEA in the District 5 11-12 Little League Tournament this year, it had to struggle back from a five-run deficit and barely survived with an 8-7 victory.

The second time, on July 9 in the tournament final, Clearfield took no chances.

The red-and-white batted around and scored seven runs in the first inning, then turned around and put up another six in the second inning to take an overwhelming 13-run lead.

Two more in the third finished it up as Clearfield marched to a 15-1, four-inning victory, and its first District 5 championship since 1992.

Eight of the Clearfield starters hit safely in the game, with Nolan Barr, Karson Rumsky, Nick Domico and Graeson Graves each chipping in two hits. Barr, Oliver Billotte, Morgan Billotte and Ty Troxell all had two RBIs in the win.

On the mound, Rumsky pitched a fourinning complete game, giving up just one hit, striking out five and walking four. BEA scored its only run on a lead-off home run in the third inning by Kyler Cunningham.

“Karson (Rumsky) pitched a heck of a game.” Clearfield coach Aaron Elensky said. “Our defense played good. We hit the ball good, and we took advantage of some walks there early on. I can’t say enough about the kids. I’m proud of them and I’m proud of what they accomplished.”

PAT ROTHDEUTSCH/For the Gazette

CLEARFIELD’S KARSON RUMSKY delivers a pitch during his squad’s 15-1 win over Bald Eagle Area on July 9.

The walks Elensky spoke of came in the top of the first inning. BEA starter McGwire Heverly couldn’t shake his nerves and walked the first four Clearfield batters, forcing in the first run of the game.

In quick succession then, Domico drove in the second run with a fielder’s-choice grounder, Graves singled, Ryan Gearhart walked and then Morgan Billotte drove in two with a single to left-center field. Troxell followed with a sacrifice fly, and then

Barr completed the scoring with an RBI double down the line in left.

All told, Clearfield sent 10 batters to the plate and scored seven runs on five walks, three hits, and a sacrifice fly.

After Rumsky escaped the second inning thanks to a big double play, Clearfield batted around again in its half of the inning. This time it was for six runs on seven hits and another sacrifice fly.

The big blows were struck by Oliver

Billotte, Gearhart and Barr, while Troxell knocked in another run with his second sacrifice fly. Barr’s single gave Clearfield a commanding 13-0 lead.

“I just wanted to throw strikes and keep the ball down,” Rumsky said, “and I did that. We thought we had the upper hand because they had to win two games and we only had to win one.”

One of the few pitches Rumsky left up in the game was to Cunningham leading off the third inning, and he didn’t miss it.

The home run sailed far over the rightcenter field wall, giving BEA its first run of the game.

Rumsky, however, shook off the mistake and retired six of the final seven BEA batters he faced without a hit.

“He (Cunningham) hit that pretty good, I’d say,” Elensky said. “I think for the most part, Karson (Rumsky) kept the ball down.

He got a little wild there in the second, but he got that big double play. Our defense helped him out there.”

Clearfield finished the scoring in the game with two unearned runs in the third, and then Rumsky locked it up under the mercy rule with a 1-2-3 fourth inning.

“I congratulated the team before they gave out the awards,” Elensky said, “and explained to them that they are the first team in 24 years from Clearfield that actually won a major-division, district championship. 1992 was that last time that Clearfield actually pulled that feat off. This group of kids did it, and I’m very proud of them.”

Philipsburg knocks off Clarence in County League play

By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

PHILIPSBURG — The Philipsburg Spike Island Pirates seemingly had it all going for them in their Centre County League first-round matchup against the Clarence Coyotes.

The Coyotes are in their first year in the CCBL and playing in their first-ever playoff series. They finished as the No. 7 seed, which matched them up against the defending champion and No. 2 seeded Pirates.

Still, favorites or not, the Pirates were keenly aware of the upset-filled recent history of the CCBL playoffs, and they brought their “A” game in the 5-1 openingday victory over the Coyotes on July 10 in Philipsburg.

Spike Island broke open a close contest with a four-run outburst in the fifth inning

while Parker Watson pitched a completegame three hitter for the win.

Matt McCamley and Brandon Quay supplied the power for the Pirates with RBI extra-base hits as Philipsburg jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the best-of-five series.

“Right before the game I told these guys that as of now, everyone is 0-0,” Pirate player-coach Quay said. “Everybody’s waiting for their first win. Everybody has new life, and with the way the payoff system works, everybody’s in. We have to come out and play our baseball and play confident. If we do that, we’ll be alright.”

Philipsburg’s performance in Game 1 was everything that Quay asked for. The Pirates took a 1-0 lead after an unearned run in the third inning.

Penn State soccer coach Duernberger promoted

By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Head men’s soccer coach Bob Warming has announced the promotion of Chad Duernberger to associate head coach.

Duernberger enters his sixth season at Penn State and his first season as associate head coach for the Nittany Lions. He maintains a role in team training and is also involved in a variety of administrative duties.

Duernberger helped the Nittany Lions capture back-to-back Big Ten regular season trophies in 2012 and 2013 and has

been on the sidelines during two consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances. In 2015, he helped the Nittany Lions to their 25th appearance in the Big Ten Tournament, while also mentoring Connor and Austin Maloney to a pair of Big Ten postseason honors.

In 2014, the Nittany Lions went 13-6-1 and 5-3-0 in the conference as they recorded their 800th win in program history.

The team got off to a program-best 10-0-1 start and won seven straight matches for the first time since 2005.

After falling to Michigan State in the B1G Tournament quarterfinals, Penn State received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tour-

nament and hosted Hartwick at Jeffrey Field.

The Lions defeated the Hawks 2-1 to move onto the second round for the third consecutive season before succumbing to No. 9 seed Syracuse 2-1, on the road.

Penn State went 5-1-0 in the Big Ten in 2013 before advancing to the NCAA Sweet 16 following an upset victory over No. 10 UC Santa Barbara.

Penn State captured a share of the Big Ten regular season championship in Duernberger’s second season on the coaching staff, as the Nittany Lions compiled a 3-1-2 conference record in 2012. PSU held its opponents to just over one goal-per-game

during the season as the Nittany Lions went unbeaten in their final four regular season conference contests.

Duernberger arrived at Penn State after serving as the head men’s soccer coach at the University of Charleston, a Division II school in West Virginia.

One of the youngest head coaches in the nation when he was hired in 2008, the 24-year-old Duernberger engineered an impressive and rapid turnaround after inheriting a Charleston program that went 0-17-0 the year prior. The Golden Eagles improved to 4-11-2 in his first season before finishing 19-4-0 in 2009, the secondbest season in program history.

PGA JUNIOR GOLF LEAGUE MEETING AT PSU COURSES

The PGA Junior League Golf is a fun, social and inclusive opportunity for boys and girls ages 13 and younger to learn and enjoy the game of golf. Much like other recreational league sports, participants wear numbered jerseys and play on teams with their friends.

Each team is captained by a PGA professional, who serves as the coach and is at the forefront of creating a welcoming environment for all to enjoy the game.

Philipsburg, from page 21 scored after a misplayed fly ball to center field for the game’s first run.

Earnest’s hit was the first one against Coyote starter Andy Stover, but the Pirates would add four more in the deciding fifth inning.

With one out, catcher Derek Shaw singled, and then Matt Curtis singled to put runners on first and third base. Shaw scored the Pirates’ second run on a wild pitch, and Logan Williamson followed with a walk to put two men on base for McCamley.

The veteran center fielder cleared the

scramble format that creates a nurturing environment for learning and development, both on and off course.

The final match of the season is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Friday, July 15, using a shotgun start on the Penn State University White Golf Course.

LOCALS FAIR WELL AT WEEKLY NCPGA EVENT

In the Five-Hole Division III Beginner group, Penn State’s Brady Wager shot a 22, Tee-to-Green’s Karl Unger shot a 28 and White Deer’s Landon Arriaga shot a 32. Also finishing were Chase Wirnsberger, of Bucknell, with a 33, Bren Crossgrove, of Shade Mountain Golf Club, with a 35, and Ian Owens, also of Shade Mountain, also with a 35.

Forty-six players took on the heat July 6 at Knoebels’ Three Ponds Golf Course as William Knauth, of White Deer Complex, won for the third time in four weeks, carding the low round of the day with a 1-overpar 72 in the Division 1 Advanced group.

Knauth’s back nine surge was just enough to edge out Matthew Storeman, of Belle Springs Golf Club, by one stroke. Garrett Barilar, of Berwick Golf Club, finished third, four shots off of the pace with a 76.

Clinton Country Club’s William Adair carded an 82 for fourth, while Mountain View Country Club’s Tyler Nordblom shot a 94 and Nittany Country Club’s Daniel Zimmerman posted a 96.

The 18-hole Intermediate Division was very competitive, as well. Three players shot 81 or better, with Tyoga Country Club’s Benjamin Barnett coming out on top with a 78. Bradyn Tuttle, also of Tyoga, made a last-minute charge by carding birdies on three of the last eight holes, but it wasn’t enough, and he finished with an 81. Morgan Sohosky, of Tee-To-Green Golf Center, tied for third by matching Tuttle’s 81.

Three players from Clinton finished in the Top 10, with John Duda carding a 96, Devin Heverly shooting a 98 and Thomas MacMillen posting a 101.

In the Division II Advanced Nine-Hole group, Ben Sohosky, of Tee-To-Green, and Michael Maslanka, of Pine Hills Golf Club, came to a draw on the front nine, with a pair of 43s. Penn State Golf Club’s Maxwell Wager carded a 44 for third place.

In the Intermediate Nine-Hole Division, Cade Wirnsberger, of Bucknell, was the best in the field with a 54. Sunny Hill Golf Club’s Christian Kisner had a 57 and Wynding Brook Golf Club’s Carter Fedder shot a 58.

PENN STATE BLUE COURSE LADIES HOLD EVENT

bases with a triple to the center field wall, and then Quay doubled in McCamley, giving the Pirates a 5-0 lead.

“He (Stover) got behind in the count a little bit and got to 2-0,” McCamley said. “I knew he had to bring something over the plate. I got the pitch I was looking for, and luckily our guys got hot at the same time and it was a good one-two punch. When I hit it, I thought he (center fielder Ben Verbitskey) had a bead on it, but it just kept carrying.”

The runs were more than what Watson would need. He did give up a run in the sixth on a hit, an error and an RBI ground-

out by Dillon Schall. Other than that, the Coyotes did not advance a runner to third base and managed only two other hits — both singles and both in the first inning.

Watson struck out Tyler Bennett to end the threat in the sixth, and then went 1-2-3 in the seventh.

“I felt pretty good,” Watson said. “I was just throwing strikes and trusting my defense. I knew we would get around to scoring a few runs, and hopefully that would be enough, and it was.”

NCPGA MEN PLAY KNOEBELS THREE PONDS GOLF CLUB

One day after hosting the NCPGA junior tour, Knoebels Three Ponds Golf Club welcomed the men’s championship series event, as the field of 25 players in four divisions braved the 90-degree temperatures.

Dale Bievenour, of Honey Run Golf Club, had the lowest round of the day with an even-par 71. Bievenour went out at 1-over-par and evened out his score on the back nine by firing a 1-under-par 34.

Frank Richelderfer, of Lost Creek Golf Club, with an 80, was the best of the four competitors in the 50-59 age category.

Richelderfer was able to solidify his victory by posting pars on the 17th and 18th holes, two of the most difficult on the course.

In the 60-69 division, William Kinley, of Williamsport Country Club, had the best score with 84. Kinley also had a strong finish with three pars to end his round.

Boyd Mertz, of Bucknell Golf Club, went 48 on the front nine and 44 on the back

nine to card a 92. He was the top placer in the 80 and older division.

MOUNTAIN VIEW ANNOUNCES WOMEN’S RESULTS

The Mountain View Country Club Women’s League recently held its NineHole League and 18-Hole League skills contests.

RYDER CUP PAIRS NITTANY AGAINST PHILIPSBURG

Hosted by the Philipsburg Elks Lodge Country Club, the 2016 Ryder Cup found Nittany Country Club competing against the host club, with the event ending in a 16-16 tie. Nittany retained the cup and will host the 2017 event.

The event featured three events each being played over nine holes in a matchplay style of alternate shot, better ball of partners and individual scoring.

Nittany’s Dave Myers and William Luther were the only players to win all three of their matches.

Nittany’s championship team consisted of captain Ron Benton, Ken Bean, Chuck Colyer, Charlie Doland, Jerry Fisher, Brad Fritchman, Tim Glunt, Scott Gray, Mike Hoy, Mark Johnson, Rick Knepp, Ken Lannan, Luther, Ryan Mattern, Myers and Roy Reeve.

Quay led the Pirate offense with two hits and an RBI, while McCamley had two RBIs and one hit. Five other Philipsburg starters hit safely in the game.

Bennett, Stover, and Schall had the hits for Clarence, which will now have to try to stop the Pirates in Game 2 in Clarence.

“Upsets happen,” McCamley said.

“Whether it’s the first round, second round, somebody takes someone lightly.

We have a young group that hasn’t really been here a lot. So we’re trying to instill in them the fact that anything can happen.”

McCarvel a force for the Spikes

By JOSE RUIZ correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — It’s almost one month into the season and the State College Spikes, at 17–6, are the best team in the New York-Penn League.

The Spikes are coming off a weekend sweep of Auburn, during which they out scored the Doubledays 23-3. The series win gives the Spikes a five-game lead in the division. A lot of that success can be attributed to the great batting of catcher/ first basemen Ryan McCarvel.

The 21-year-old McCarvel has proven to be excellent at the plate. He is batting an average of .297, which is second on the team. But, getting on base isn’t his main attribute, nor is the impressive stat — his slugging is.

McCarvel is the clean-up hitter and doing a great job at it, leading the team with 17 RBIs, four home runs and a slugging percentage of .554.

He has great plate discipline, which helps him to have a .381 on-base percentage, but more than half of his hits are for extra bases, making him an offensive machine. He is proving to be a power hitter, but at the same time has the plate discipline to get hits and get on base.

McCarvel played first base and catcher in the Auburn series and batted .462. His dominance at the plate was huge for the Spikes, helping them scoring four RBIs and three runs.

The series sweep gives the Spikes a five-game cushion in the division race.

A highlight this season for McCarvel was when he hit for the cycle against Brooklyn. He singled in the first inning, he tripled in the fifth, RYAN McCARVEL he doubled in the sixth and he finished it off with a homer in the eighth, becoming only the second player in franchise history to hit for the cycle.

That performance left Spikes manager Johnny Rodriguez saying, “It’s not just one player, but pretty much, when you hit for the cycle, driving in five runs and you win 10-4, actually, you won 5-4 if you look at one guy.”

McCarvel is from Moreno Valley, Calif., and is the nephew of former NBA player Chris Mills. He joined the Cardinals system in 2015 as a 19th-round draft pick, but this is his first year playing in State College. He was drafted after having an amazing season at Howard College in 2015, where he was chosen first team All-NJCAA. At the beginning of the season, not many saw it coming, but Ryan McCarvel has become the best offensive player and the player to watch in this year’s Spike squad.

Nonagenarian has had a life well lived CONNIE COUSINS

Heather Fleck, 95, of The Village at Penn State, has led a fascinating life — one with a story that deserves to be shared with others.

Carol Falke first mentioned her name to me as a possible interview. Falke is well known in Centre County because of her work with fundraising for the Urukundo Children’s Home and School in Rwanda.

She has enlisted Connie Cousins churches, women’s covers a wide groups, schoolteachvariety of events in ers and their classes, Centre County for Girl Scouts and many the Centre County others to aid the home Gazette. Email her and school. Falke told at ccous67@gmail. me Fleck has been incom. strumental in gathering sewing supplies and sewing machines for the school.

When I went to interview Fleck, I met a dynamo. She spoke of her grandparents, who were both from Wales, and of her father and mother, from Scotland. The story was that her father was sent to San Francisco to paint the interior of the Australian building for the Pan-American Games in 1914. On the ship to America, her father met her mother.

“I was blessed to be raised in Palo Alto, Calif., and was the first to graduate from

college,” said Fleck. Laughing, she said, “I was some trouble while being raised.”

She went to Santa Fe State for physical education, which led her to speech and drama and modern dance groups. She graduated from San Francisco Theological Seminary with a master’s degree in religion.

She then met Howard Thurman, who had graduated from Rochester Theological Seminary in May 1926. He served as a pastor and taught philosophy and religion at Morehouse College and Spelman College in Atlanta, and when she met him he was co-pastor with a white minister, Dr. Alfred Fisk, of The Church for the Fellowship of All Peoples in San Francisco. It was the first racially integrated, intercultural church in the U.S. and was founded in 1944.

Large numbers of the congregation were African-Americans who had migrated to San Francisco from Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas for jobs in the defense industry. From this new community, integration was attempted.

Fleck lived with Thurman and his family and served as children’s workshop leader, then served two years working with a community center dealing with Japanese Americans. She also traveled with Thurman’s wife to Mexico and Guatemala.

“This was my first real intercultural experience,” said Fleck. “Thurman had lived with Mahatma Gandhi and was influenced by him.” Thurman also influenced and mentored The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Fleck’s next adventure was accepting a job offer at a YWCA in Hawaii. It was there

that she finally got a driver’s license. She needed the license to handle her work as the director of rural YWCAs in three towns.

She met her husband, David A. Saunders, when she was in Hawaii and they married when she was 28 and he was 37.

He had an X-ray business and she said they used to carry the isotope right on the plane with them when coming to the mainland.

After Sanders became ill with lymph cancer, they bought a Ford truck with a Winnebago camper on top and for seven and a half month they traveled.

“It was wonderful,” Fleck said. “I took him to Palo Alto where I grew up. I never thought I would like that, but it was wonderful and I never felt like the space was too small. We saw many places.

“After his death in 1995, I went to New Zealand for two months.”

She met Robert Fleck, her second husband, during an elder hostel trip to Australia in 1986 and married him in 1987.

He was the former principal of State College High School and taught social studies in middle school until he retired. Robert Fleck died in 2013.

Over the years, Fleck has had many titles, including that of the “trash lady.”

She said that name came about because she believed so strongly in recycling. She served as president of the council of her building at The Village for two terms, and according to her, she often is a very vocal part of the Committee to Recycle. She has used bins with pictures and checks them every day and reorganizes if necessary.

She also helps to assure that stamp col-

Fleck threw herself a party when she turned 50, and she was planning to have one every 10 years. When she turned 90, she decided to change the plan to every five years.

And, she has started a trend at The Village. Every year there is a party for anyone 90 or older. Goodies such as shrimp, tea sandwiches and punch are served. Of course, champagne toasts are exchanged as part of the festivities.

Helping children cope with grief Catching lightning bugs on a warm summer night, playing with friends from sunrise until sunset, licking drops of melted ice cream from their cones and sticky fingers: Summer is a time to admire the way children live.

However, along with the beauty and miracle that is life comes death and loss. Children’s expressions of grief and methods of coping may vary from adults.

Therefore, it is important to understand how to talk with children and know some tools to help them cope during these difficult times.

As per the National Association of School Psychologists, talking to children about loss and death must be geared to their developmental level and should be respectful of cultural norms, including religiosity, and geared to their level of understanding.

Children may experience, but are not limited to the following behaviors: emotional shock, regression, acting out and asking the same question repeatedly because the information is so very difficult to accept. Emotional shock often serves to help individuals detach from the pain while regressive behaviors such as need-

Grief, from page 23 Local child psychiatrist Dr. Brian Rockower emphasizes the importance of being honest with children during these difficult times. Children are often very perceptive and being both straightforward and candid with them while still accounting for their developmental level of understanding is imperative.

The following tips will help parents and vested adults support children in their time of grief: ■ Be honest.

■ Don’t assume.

Children’s view of the world is shaped by experience. Not all children may have experienced loss, nor do they understand it in the same way.

■ Encourage them to ask questions.

Some questions you may not have the answers to. And that is OK. At home, use phrases such as, “That’s a great question,” or answer with, “I’m not sure, but here is what I believe.”

This helps children know what their family, cultural and religious beliefs may be, while also giving them the opportunity to shape their own.

■ Be there.

Let children know that you are there for them and that you want to under-

stand how they are feeling or what they need.

■ Help them find comfort in the familiar.

Ask questions such as “What makes you feel happy?” or “What made you feel happy before this happened?” Listening to music, hugging a favorite toy or playing their favorite games may give children comfort during their time of need.

■ Adhere to routines, if possible.

If children typically read books for bed, now is not the time to stop this routine. Having as many predictable events in their lives during a time that was very unpredictable will be beneficial for their ability to cope.

■ Understand that children may grieve in very different ways.

Expressions of grief may not be orderly and may not follow a predictable pattern. All people grieve differently.

Locally, Tides offers a no-cost support for families coping with the death of someone special to them. Tides is geared toward children and teens, as well as their adult families.

Additionally, there are many books that are exceptional resources for children experiencing loss. Reading to children about loss and grief helps normalize it and allows children the opportunity to know they are not alone.

World War I art showcased at Palmer Museum

UNIVERSITY PARK — “American Art in the Shadow of World War I,” a new exhibition on view at the Palmer Museum of Art through Aug. 7, presents a diverse array of works from the permanent collection, including patriotic posters and photographs that capture aspects of the conflict, as well as prints, drawings and watercolors by American artists who served in the military.

When war erupted in Europe in the summer of 1914, few people foresaw the scale and duration of the carnage. Worldwide, military and civilian causalities totaled nearly 38 million by the signing of the armistice more than four years later.

The unimaginable horrors deeply affected many artists. “American Art in the Shadow of World War I” surveys the museum’s holdings from the years leading up to, during and immediately following the so-called Great War. Whether part of the debate about U.S. intervention or as combatants themselves, the conflict touched American artists in a variety of ways.

This exhibition examines a diverse group of 18 photographs and works on paper against the backdrop of the war.

Photographer Lewis Hine, who was stationed in Paris with the Red Cross in 1918, chronicled relief efforts and army bases.

Henry Varnum Poor made drawings and watercolors of the French countryside and of his fellow soldiers.

Artist-illustrators such as James Montgomery Flagg and Joseph Pennell created government-sponsored posters to stir up support and patriotic fervor. Etchings by servicemen John Taylor Arms, Kerr Eby and J. André Smith are also presented in the exhibition. Additional works from John Singer Sargent and Morton Livingston Schamberg, among others, open onto concomitant anxieties and societal changes during the era.

Also on view at the Palmer Museum of Art this summer are “The Prints of Jules Heller,” through Sunday, Aug. 14, and “Still Moving: Photographs by Steve McCurry,” through Sunday, Sept. 18.

The Palmer Museum of Art at Penn State is located on Curtin Road and admission is free. Museum hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m. The museum is closed Mondays and some holidays.

The Palmer Museum of Art receives state arts funding support through a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.

School of Visual Arts graduate receives Windgate Fellowship UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State School of Visual Arts graduate Christine Fashion, who earned her bachelor of fine arts with a focus on ceramics/sculpture in 2016, has received a prestigious Windgate Fellowship from the Center for Craft, Creativity and Design, a $15,000 award given to only 10 graduating college seniors nationwide.

The award is one of the largest offered nationally to art students.

Fashion was selected from a pool of 95 students who had been nominated from a network of more than 120 university art programs. The awards program is now in its 11th year.

“The Windgate Fellowship allows us a glimpse of the up-and-coming talent in the field emerging from the best craft programs in the country,” said Stephanie Moore, CCCD executive director. “These artists are sincere in their efforts to explore and thinking about the materials in their practice and what it means for the future.”

Four panelists selected the applicants on the basis of artistic merit and their potential to make significant contributions to the field of craft. The 2016 selection panel included: Cora Fisher, curator of contemporary art for Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art in Winston-

Bellefonte Art Museum SCCT presents ‘The Heidi Chronicles’ features ‘Butterfly Memories’

STATE COLLEGE — The State College Community Theatre is bringing the contemporary comedy “The Heidi Chronicles” to the PSU Downtown Theatre Center. The production is scheduled for Thursday, July 28, through Sunday, July 31, with three evening performances at 8 p.m., a Saturday matinee at 2 p.m., and a Sunday matinee at 3 p.m.

Winner of the 1989 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, “The Heidi Chronicles” follows the character of Heidi Holland as she moves through life, from college to her career as an art historian.

The play focuses on Heidi’s feminism during the 1970s, as well as her eventual disappointments in the 1980s. This show is a significant time capsule of female struggles during the mid-20th century, showing the progress of that generation amid laughs and tears.

“A show like “Heidi Chronicles” is significant to our world right now,” said actress Dana Hiyajneh, who plays the title character. “The show explores age old issues between men and women. Through these amazing characters and this beautifully told story, we can inform people about the real issues around us.

“These characters are so real and you will fall in love with each and every one of them.”

The creative team behind the show includes Nigel Semaj Barnes, Ayla Fan, Asher Atwood, Megan Calon and Mike Knarr.

“The Heidi Chronicles” cast features familiar SCCT performers, as well as cast members new to SCCT productions. In addition to Hiyajneh, Jacob Brittingham plays Peter Patrone and Natalie Walden plays Susan Johnston.

BELLEFONTE — “Butterfly Memories,” on display at the Bellefonte Art Museum throughout July, promises to be a show that will delight both your eyes and imagination.

Artists Jennifer Tucker and Gerald Lang are nationally known for their scans of flora. This is the first time that the two have scanned actual butterflies. They used specimens from the collections of Dr. Jordan Finkelstein, a professional collector.

“I lay the delicate butterfly on the glass of the scanner bed and Gerald scans the butterflies into digital files,” said Tucker.

“We both finalize the images and Gerald prints them in our Hill Crystal Farm Studio. No camera is used in the process. The resulting images, printed on mat surface paper using the pigmented ink jet process, create the illusion of dimension for the viewer.

“Persons who view the butterflies often have the urge to touch them because the

appear so real. The museum asks that you do not touch the butterflies. Oils in skin can ruin the surfaces of the images.”

According to Lang, “Integrating 21stcentury digital imaging technology, we have resurrected the small butterfly specimens to an art form and size that allows the viewer to see how the color, scales, fur, structure and patterns of creation and disintegration of a butterfly are artful in themselves.”

To Lang and Tucker, butterflies symbolize soul, light, hope, joy and transformation.

They say that the beauty and fragility of the wings is seen when their technology and artistry draw attention to how worn, faded and torn they are from life’s flight. Moved beyond the documentation of butterfly specimens, the two artists felt the experience as a metaphysical one.

The Bellefonte Art Museum for Centre County is located at 133 N. Allegheny St. in Bellefonte.

Technology allows for financial market growth DANIEL NESTLERODE

I am, by nature, an optimistic person.

Over the course of my investment career, things on Wall Street and in the economy have gotten significantly better for nearly everyone. Growth and prosperity comes in fits and spurts and is not evenly spread across the populace. Yet, eventually, the progress made through technology seeps into every corDan Nestlerode ner of humanity. is the director All this growth and of research prosperity is reflected and portfolio in the stock prices on management Wall Street sooner or at Nestlerode & Loy Investment later, and is impacted Advisors in State by many other eleCollege. He can be ments of our society: reached at danielj@ monetary policy, fiscal nestlerode.com. policies, technology development and adoption in the world — all within the backdrop of the rule of law, contracts and the sanctity of human and property rights.

There are many side tracks in our society, including the welfare of those unable to participate in our form of capitalism, terrorist efforts to disrupt the peaceful pursuits of others and actions of various bully and criminal governments trying to impose their will on others by military force.

I am hopeful that folks will realize that progress occurs when the people can pursue their own dreams and desires from the bottom up, not the top down. Ruling elites employing top-down policies, rules and regulations only slow progress.

With that as a backdrop, I am enthusiastic about the potential for our economy over the next 50 years. Our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren have the potential to live life longer and better than any preceding generation. And our current stock market will continue to advance, with likely interruptions, to heights only dreamed of by today’s pundits. Why do I say this? Let me enumerate some, but certainly not all, the possibilities: ■ We are only beginning to utilize the potential of the Internet for helping with everyday tasks, quickly and easily. Think of Lyft and Uber making personal transportation faster, easier and more inexpensive for many. The entertainment value of the

the human condition.

■ Energy has transformed in recent years from shortages and high prices to abundance and universal availability. The recent triple-digit prices for oil have retreated and the price of natural gas has declined to levels not seen since the mid1970s. My recent royalty check was recorded at just $1 per thousand cubic feet of natural gas. (Of course, I would be more pleased if the price were somewhat higher.)

■ We are on the cusp of making auto travel significantly safer as electronics enable self-driving cars and trucks to be made better. Setbacks will be inevitable as we learn how to do things, but the ultimate result will save thousands of lives across the country as we (figuratively) get ourselves out of the driver’s seat, save for unusual circumstances.

So while the news concentrates on the presidential election, terrorist strikes across the world, racial problems and other issues where resolution is frustratingly elusive, take comfort that significant progress continues on many fronts that will make life better, longer and more fulfilling for almost everyone. It is a great time to be alive, watch this unfold and participate in the world of expanding possibilities.

Internet is widely recognized, as I listen to Pandora streaming the hits of the ‘70s while writing this piece.

■ Three-dimensional manufacturing is at the early stages of transforming how we make things.

In one example, the expensive part of a rocket, the nozzles, have come down 80 percent in cost while the time needed to make them has declined sharply. This has led in part to the success of Elon Musk’s Space X and Amazon.com’s Jeff Bezos’ efforts to ferry supplies into space and reuse the boosters after landing them back on earth. Space travel is getting cheaper and easier and more usual.

■ Biotechnology is moving rapidly into actual cures for human afflictions of all kinds, even if they are initially expensive by historical standards. Yet, as the technologies become more widely understood, costs and prices will begin to drop and what was once a death sentence becomes just a glitch in everyday life.

For example, hepatitis C is now curable. The application of medicine defined by using identification of the human genome is becoming standard stuff. New diseases — such as Zika virus — can be dealt with more effectively as we chart their genomes and understand how they impact
