Wolf defends his budget proposal during stop at Bellefonte high school

By MATTHEW FELDMAN correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

BELLEFONTE — If Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf’s budget proposal is passed by state lawmakers, Centre County school districts could see more money in their budgets in the coming year.

Wolf spoke July 13 at Bellefonte Area High School, addressing community members about his new budget proposal.

According to Wolf, there are four elements to his budget, and the first is a good public school system.

“If we don’t invest in education, we won’t have a good future,” Wolf said.

The governor believes that education is the foundation of the state, and he wants to make sure every child gets a good education. He went on to describe how his proposed budget would impact Centre County schools, Bellefonte in particular.

The Bellefonte Area School District has seen numerous budget cuts in the past, but Wolf’s budget, if passed in its current state, would grant the district a $499,517 increase in funding. Wolf said that he is glad to see that BASD uses budget money the way — in his opinion — it should be used.

“This money is going into the classrooms, not a brand new AstroTurf football field,” Wolf said.

BASD superintendent Dr. Cheryl Potteiger sees a huge need for these extra funds within the district. “We have several needs that could be addressed with these funds.

It allows (the district) to concentrate other funds on providing educational initiatives that have already been started,” Potteiger said.

Other aspects of Wolf’s budget include fair severance and property taxes, as well as the elimination of budget deficits.

Thirty-one states currently have oil and gas taxes; Pennsylvania does not. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, Pennsylvania remains the largest natural gas-producing state in the nation with no severance tax. Severance taxes are levied on non-renewable resources such as oil and gas that are extracted within a taxing jurisdiction.

In Wolf’s eyes, the state has an opportunity to bring in money from severance taxes on Marcellus shale and other natural gas industries which are currently thriving in the state.

“The gas industry (in Pennsylvania) is doing quite well, and it’s going to do even

TALKING BUDGET: Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf speaks with educators and members of the media during a stop at Bellefonte Area High School on July 13. better. A modest, reasonable severance tax is something that can help us pay for what goes on (in public schools),” Wolf said.

Wolf noted that adding these severance taxes would help alleviate some of the property taxes in the area.

“In the Bellefonte School District, my plan would propose about a 43 percent average reduction in property taxes,” Wolf said.

High property taxes are an issue that Wolf feels needs to be addressed imme-

diately. For him, it is obvious that some citizens simply cannot afford the current tax rates, and that takes away from the community as a whole.

“If we ask anybody in Pennsylvania, ‘Do you believe in a good education system?’, they’re going to say, ‘I think we ought to have a system that educates our children,’” Wolf said.

“But, if I say that in order to fund that Wolf, Page 4

STATE COLLEGE — The weather for the 49th Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts definitely brightened up by the weekend, but that wasn’t the only thing that made the festival a success.

“I love the show and I love the people,” said Robert Flowers Jr., who has come from North Carolina for the 12th year to sell his watercolor paintings at Arts Fest.

For four days, State College let go of its quieter summer atmosphere to welcome artists such as Flowers, as well as many performers and more than 125,000 visitors.

STATE COLLEGE — In Centre County, you can hit the books. Now, you can sit on them as well.

On July 10, during the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts, unique “book benches” were unveiled in front of the State College Municipal Building.

Elody Gyekis is a local artist who helped coordinate the project.

“It’s all about working with the community and bringing out a community vision,” Gyekis said. “This is all over Centre County.

We’ve had community brainstorming sessions. We talk specifically about what we love about the area. We distill that into several different themes.”

UNIVERSITY PARK — The Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority is taking another stride in bringing the county’s recycling and composting efforts to a much younger audience.

The authority hosted free children’s composting and recycling workshops — geared toward kids from kindergarten through grade five — in the Children’s Garden at Penn State’s Arboretum on July 13.

“This year we just decided (children’s workshops) would be a good addition because organics composting is becoming more prominent in the

region,” said Mimi Cooper, who taught the composting workshop.

A group of about 10 campers from the summer camp at Hort Woods participated in Cooper’s “Garbage-Eating Wonder Worms” workshop. Cooper introduced the children to the concept of vermicomposting, a practice that uses worms to break down food scraps.

Cooper brought a tub of worms and magnifying glasses to the arboretum, providing campers with a hands-on and memorable experience.

New Jersey man accused of felony robbery

By StateCollege.com staff

Follow us @centrecogazette

STATE COLLEGE — An unusual occurrence over Arts Fest weekend has led to felony robbery charges against a New Jersey man.

Guiseppi Dante, 20, of Liberty Corner, N.J., faces felony charges of theft, receiving stolen property, robbery and minor charges of harassment and disorderly conduct.

Police said the incident began on the evening of July 11, when a Fairmount Avenue resident noticed Dante “acting suspiciously” at a party while carrying a backpack.

“Dante was not friends with any of the tenants, nor did they know where he had come from. Dante spent the night,” the criminal complaint reads.

The next morning, the resident of the home reportedly found Dante’s backpack hidden in the yard. Police said the backpack contained multiple stolen items from the home: a MacBook, several phone chargers and several pairs of Ray-Ban sunglasses.

The resident confronted Dante when he tried to leave with the backpack, and

noticed that Dante reportedly had his roommate’s iPhone in his back pocket.

The resident recovered the phone, but Dante left the property.

The resident next reportedly told his roommate what had happened. The roomGUISEPPI DANTE mate noticed that his MacBook was gone, left the house and stopped Dante on the street. The two men reportedly got into a fight, leading to the police being called.

Officers said that when they arrived on the scene, the roommate’s shirt was torn and he had cuts and blood on his right hand.

When police searched Dante, officers found $7 in stolen cash and a credit card belonging to the roommate.

Dante was arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Steve Lachman on July 12 and was being held in the Centre County Correctional Facility on $25,000 bail while awaiting a preliminary hearing.

Life in the Wild has Never Looked Better!

STATE COLLEGE — The NCAA is calling out former Penn State football coaches Jay Paterno and William Kenney.

In a filing June 10, the NCAA’s attorneys said that Paterno and Kenney are falling short in their discovery obligations.

The collegiate athletics governing body has released more than 16,000 documents so far during pre-trial discovery, and they feel that the plaintiffs are “shirking” their discovery obligations by failing to release documents that hold relevancy to the case.

The filing is a motion asking the court to compel the release of documents.

“Jay Paterno and William Kenney repeatedly proclaim they are on a search for ‘truth,’ but their actions say otherwise,” the filing states. “From the beginning of this case they have taken the view that they can accuse but never have to explain, that they can play offense but never have to defend. But this is a neutral forum and a level playing field. It is time for them to try and prove what they allege.”

Paterno and Kenney are suing the NCAA and Penn State. Former university trustee Al Clemens was previously a plaintiff on the suit. They claim that the Freeh Report, consent decree and other actions by the NCAA have hurt the coaches’ job prospects and caused them financial damage.

The lawsuit alleges that statements

in the consent decree are demonstrably false, that the NCAA knew this when it issued sweeping sanctions against the Penn State football program, and that those false statements have injured the Paterno estate, Jay Paterno and Kenney.

In the latest filing, the NCAA said the burden falls on the plaintiffs to provide documents and evidence backing up their claims.

“It is their charge, their burden, and their responsibility to come forward with evidence in their possession,” the filing says. “Their paltry productions in response to the NCAA’s document request fall far short of satisfying their discovery obligations, much less demonstrate an interest in truth-seeking.”

The NCAA had “substantially completed” its discovery obligation by December 2014, according to the filing. On the other hand, the NCAA said that both Paterno and Kenney have repeatedly delayed releasing documents and are hindering the organization’s ability to proceed with pre-trial preparation, including depositions.

The NCAA is asking for a bevy of documents, including those related to Paterno’s book “Paterno Legacy,” income for the two coaches, employment attempts since 2011, the consent decree, the Freeh Report and more.

Attorneys for both the plaintiffs and the NCAA were not immediately available for comment on the filing.

Centre County missing woman’s case to stay closed

By ALEXA LEWIS news@centrecountygazette.com

The case of Susan Bachman is likely to stay closed, despite news that a forensic anthropologist disagrees with the coroner’s decision on the woman’s cause of death.

After Bachman was missing for almost a year, police found her remains on April 15, a few miles from where her parents say she jumped out of their moving car on Interstate 80 in Jefferson County and ran into the woods.

Bachman, a Julian resident, was 37 at the time of her death.

By the end of April, a coroner had concluded that Bachman died from a head trauma that she suffered from jumping out of the car that was moving at about 50 mph. State police closed the case on June 2, concluding that Bachman’s death was an accident based on the report from the Jefferson County coroner’s office.

But, on May 26 — nearly a month after the coroner

reported the cause of death to police — professor and forensic anthropologist Dennis Dirkmaat, of Mercyhurst University, and his team said they believe the skull fracture happened after Bachman’s death.

“In this particular case, we had a little hairline (skull) fracture, but determined it was post-mortem,” Dirkmaat told the Associated Press.

Dirkmaat, who works alongside both the state police and coroner, was at the scene on April 16 — the day after the state police found some of Bachman’s remains.

He said his job is to analyze the bones, look for trauma and determine the timing of any trauma. He then provides an assessment to the coroner and police. However, Dirkmaat said he does not make any official conclusions regarding the cause of death, which is a matter that is left to the coroner.

Both Dirkmaat and the state police from the barracks in DuBois said the new findings do not create any suspicions of Bachman’s cause of death. State police officials said

there are no plans to reopen the case.

While Dirkmaat’s finding contradicted some of the information in the corner’s report, he said he still agrees that Bachman’s death was an accident and related to injuries she may have suffered jumping out of her parents’ vehicle.

“It is likely that with all that was going on and jumping out of a vehicle going that fast that there might have been internal injuries,” Dirkmaat said.

Because police did not find a body, an autopsy could not be done to determine if there was internal bleeding or other trauma. Dirkmaat said it’s likely that the rest of the remains were scattered or consumed by animals, according to a July 8 Associated Press report.

Jefferson County coroner Bernard Snyder also told the AP that he was unaware of Dirkmaat’s findings when he issued his report.

And, he said he would likely amend his ruling based on Dirkmaat’s finding, but hadn’t realized state police already released the cause of death.

Food truck ordinance discussed at planning commission

By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — When caterer Michael Marx moved to Ferguson Township after a successful career as a restaurateur in Baltimore, he was surprised by the lack of food trucks in the State College area.

But, on July 13, the Ferguson Township planning commission took a major step toward changing that fact by reviewing a rough draft of a brand new ordinance allowing these mobile restaurants to operate in the township.

Marx, owner of the State College-based World’s Fare Catering, said he has received an “absolutely incredible” amount of support for his idea.

He said a number of companies based in Ferguson Township have reached out to tell him how much their employees would enjoy having a new option for grabbing grub on the job.

Marx said food trucks would benefit people who work in the township who do not have many lunch options near them, while also benefiting the township by bringing additional business into the area.

“If anyone’s ever traveled outside Centre County, not even necessarily to a big city, they’ll see that food trucks are alive and kicking,” Marx said. “They exist in a very symbiotic, healthy relationship with restaurants. They fill in the gaps.”

During the commission meeting, Ferguson Township planner Lindsay Schoch said there are many businesses in the township’s industrial and research districts that do not have easy access to nearby restaurants.

The draft ordinance under consideration would allow food trucks to sell food and non-alcoholic drinks in industrial and research zoning districts between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. The trucks would be required to park in the lot of the building they are serving, and would only be permitted to stay in a single location for two hours at a time.

A food truck owner would be required to obtain a permit from the township, be present at the truck during all times of operation and clean up any waste or trash before the truck leaves. Other kinds of concession stands, ice cream trucks and home-delivery trucks are exempt from this proposed ordinance.

Food trucks would also be subject to all relevant state and federal regulations, and must be properly licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health.

Planning commission member Kurt Homan expressed strong support for the proposed ordinance. He said it make sense as a business model for township residents because “we’re all pressed for more time these days.”

“I think it makes a lot of sense to allow this,” Homan said. “If a business wants this service, they’d contact the vendor, say ‘Can you be at here at a certain time?’ and, if

there’s enough business, that relationship will continue.

That’s the nature of a free market and free economy.”

Planning commission members wondered whether food trucks operators would set up seating around the truck, but Marx speculated that this “would just be more work” for the operators.

The commission also posed questions about possibly allowing signage advertising food trucks around the township, possibly allowing food trucks to operate during hours outside after 7:30 p.m. with proper notification to the township, and possibly allowing food trucks in commercial zoning areas.

Wolf, from page 1 education system, I’m going to kick you out of your house, because the taxes in order to pay for really good education are too high, then the answer becomes, ‘Well, then I don’t think I like education that much,’” Wolf said.

While Wolf understands that a bipartisan budget will not see all of the aspects that he hopes for, he emphasized the importance of eliminating budget deficits.

According to Wolf, Pennsylvania has had five credit downgrades in its financial history, all of which add to a higher premium on interest payments.

Much like a person with a poor credit score will have to pay more money for a bank loan, the state is in the same situation. “(Pennsylvania) is paying a premium of 1 percent more than if (Pennsylvania) had a triple-A rating,” Wolf said.

He stressed that while 1 percent may not seem like much, when dealing with state-level finances, that small number adds up.

“I used to be a teacher, and if I’m right, 1 percent of $10 billion is $100 million,” Wolf said.

This high premium is a waste of money that Wolf cannot justify spending on a yearly basis. With a proposed $400 million increase in education funding, as well as millions of dollars headed elsewhere in the state, Wolf is asking the state legislature to enact a long-term change that will end the issue of budget deficits and bad credit.

“Get your representatives and senators to do the right thing,” Wolf said.

Wolf commented regarding Republican Sen. Jake Corman, of Bellefonte, describing Corman’s “one-time fixes” to the budget problem. According to Wolf, state lawmakers cannot afford to keep replac-

ing bandages on the budget wound, and instead need to find a long-term resolution to the problem.

According to Corman, of the $30.1 billion Republican budget proposal, only about $1 billion is going toward one-time fixes, a number that he claimed is blown out of proportion by Wolf.

Corman added that the reason property taxes are so high in the state is the current pension, but Wolf recently vetoed a $10 billion pension reform bill.

“Ask any of the school districts in Centre County why property taxes are so high, (and) they’ll tell you it’s because of the pension,” Corman said. “(Republicans) can find more money for education, but we aren’t going to agree to a huge tax increase.”

Wolf’s stop in Bellefonte was part of his statewide campaign to generate support for his proposed budget. The budget was due on June 30, but remains overdue.

Republicans proposed a $30.1 billion budget that had no tax increases and did have increased funding for schools, but the funding levels and tax rates were not at the levels that Wolf wants to see.

“I want a budget that actually works for Pennsylvania,” Wolf said, “The future is ours, it doesn’t just belong to me.”

Wolf vetoed the $30.1 billion budget, as well as the $10 billion pension reform bill that the Republican majority had passed.

It seems that agreement between the two parties will be a hard course to travel, but for Wolf, it is a course that is necessary.

He believes that he knows what is right for the citizens and school systems, and he is willing to advocate across the state for his budget.

As for the Republican budget proposals that the GOP claims are “sensible,” Wolf is not so sure.

“I don’t buy it,” Wolf said.

“We move forward from there,” Gyekis explained.

In State College, the benches are painted with scenes from Arts Fest, as well as paintings of the county’s numerous theaters and museums. A second bench shows the natural beauty of Centre County through the four seasons.

Sue Swain, a former marketing specialist with SPE Federal Credit Union in State College, helped get the book benches project off the ground. When the Centre Foundation first announced a Centre Inspires grant, Swain came up with the idea of book benches.

Although she moved to California since the project took off, she made sure she was back in Happy Valley when the first two book benches were unveiled.

“It’s so awesome to see them in person.

I’ve seen pictures, but this is just fantastic,” Swain said. “It was a trip. I felt connected to this. There were 39 people who submitted proposals for the Centre Inspires grant.

We were the ones that won it.”

For Swain, leaving the project behind when she had to move was not easy. However, through technology, she was able to stay connected.

“Since I haven’t been able to be involved, I’ve been doing a lot of behindthe-scenes stuff. I was able to monitor the Recycling, from page 1 a second group of 10 Hort Wood’s campers what items are recyclable and what these recycled items are used for in her workshop, “The Three Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.”

“You could walk into a Walmart and buy a pair of shoes made from plastic bottles that you could have helped recycle,” Schirf said to the first group of children while passing around a pair of shoes made out of recycled plastics.

Schirf said the CCRRA has had educational programs in place for children for some time, but the authority is just now starting to reach out to new places.

Facebook page, the emails, the website … but I had to be there for this,” Swain said.

According to Swain, Centre County is the first location in the United States to use book benches.

“We’re the first in the states to use the book. Most people have done horses and cows. We’re excited to be the first to do the book bench,” Swain said.

Soon, you’ll see book benches everywhere throughout Centre County. Expect to see them popping up in Bellefonte, Boalsburg, Snow Shoe and Philipsburg.

“We’ve had a lot of meetings as to where to put the benches,” Swain said. “They’ll be everywhere.”

Eventually, there will be 25 book benches in different Centre County locations.

There will be five in each school district.

For now, though, if you want to see a book bench up close and personal, you’ll have to head to downtown State College.

State College Mayor Elizabeth Goreham tried out the benches and gave them her seal of approval.

“The book benches are a fabulous idea,” Goreham said. “The concept sounded good, but to see them … they’re really dazzling.”

Goreham hopes that Centre County residents will make good use of the book benches.

“It adds a special something,” Goreham said. “These tangibly identify what we love about living here.”

Earlier this summer, the authority taught workshops at Benner Township’s summer camp.

In August, the authority will teach workshops for the campers at the Millbrook Marsh Nature Center.

The CCRRA will offer the free recycling and composting workshops, which are open to the public, at the Children’s Garden on two Mondays, Aug. 3 and Aug. 10, from 10:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. and from 11:15 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.

Schirf said camps, schools or others interested in having the CCRRA provide a workshop for children should contact the authority and ask to speak with her or Cooper.

Avian flu drives up egg prices on East Coast

By ALEXA LEWIS news@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — There is an avian flu outbreak that is killing and infecting egg-laying chickens across the Midwest and West Coast, and even residents in Centre County are seeing egg prices fluctuate.

The highly pathogenic strain of the avian flu called H5N2, which first emerged in wild and commercial flocks in the U.S. in early 2015, has crippled the egg industry on a national scale.

“Eggs can be moved around the country,” said livestock, poultry and dairy analyst Shayle Shagam, of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, “so there’s not a truly local market.”

The strain is fatal to both chickens and turkeys. As of June 17, across 15 states, more than 48 million birds have died or been killed to prevent the virus from spreading, according to the USDA. The result: Egg production this year will be down about 5 percent from 2014, a decrease of 334 million dozen eggs, according to USDA predictions. As a whole, American’s consume more than 7 billion eggs a year.

The subsequent peaks in egg prices are partly due to less production from states such as Iowa, which has been the most impacted state and also the state that produces more eggs than any other.

Iowa’s governor announced a state of emergency when dense outbreaks first exploded. According to officials in Iowa, more than 30 million birds have been euthanized so far.

While egg production has hit a slippery slope in some states, Shagam said areas of the country where outbreaks have not occurred are stepping in to fill those gaps.

But, the operations that are redirecting some of their egg supply to areas where there is a shortage puts pressure on their usual demand and within the states to which they generally supply eggs.

Shagam went on to explain that prices also skyrocketed around mid-May and

June because restaurants and other food companies that rely on liquid or “breaking” eggs for certain food products began switching to shelled eggs.

Generally, a dozen breaking eggs sell for 50 or 60 cents less than shelled eggs.

But, as the price gap between breaking and shelled eggs closed in at around 7 cents because of the avian flu, it became worthwhile for these businesses to buy shelled eggs.

had gone back up to $1.94.

“We’ve been going through a series of peaks and valleys,” Shagam said.

The USDA also predicts table egg production for 2016 to be 7 billion dozen, an increase of 2 percent over 2015’s forecast.

As the avian flu picked up speed across the western portion of the country, operations not impacted began to increase their own outputs and eggs also were taken out of cold storage.

“Normally, these are eggs that you and I would be using, say for eggs and bacon, but a lot of them are being diverted to the breaking egg market,” Shagam said. “This caused a huge run up in shelled egg prices.”

Another big question for Centre County residents: What is in store for egg prices for the rest of 2015 and into 2016?

By mid-May, the cost for a dozen wholesale large eggs based on prices in the New York region reached $2.49. It made its way back down to $1.89, but by July 13 the price

Some buyers are also now choosing to step back from the market, which is helping precipitate a recent decline in prices.

Rita’s — a Philadelphia-based company with a location at Beaver Avenue in downtown State College — decided to pull frozen custard, which is made with eggs, from its menu.

The franchise is substituting the custard with soft-serve ice cream at all its 600 locations until there is a steadier supply of eggs, according to the Rita’s website.

The switch has not impacted sales at

the Rita’s in State College, said store manager Rich Shore.

“We haven’t had any complaints,” Shore said. “Locally, the people really like the soft-serve.

Sysco, which is the largest U.S. food distributor, said in May that it would encourage customers to create alternative menu items when the avian flu began to limit its supply of eggs and chickens, according to Reuters.

Despite the pressure from the market, many restaurants in State College said they are not feeling a sense of urgency to change their menu items or prices.

“We’ve just been absorbing the costs.

We will wait to reevaluate in the fall,” said Mike Desmond, who is a partner at Hotel State College & Co. The company owns both the Corner Room and the Allen Street Grill.

The USDA does predict that the number of avian influenza cases will decrease during the summer due to the warmer weather, but officials have said the virus could return full force in the fall.

Pat Daugherty, the owner of The Tavern, said his restaurant has not increased the prices of its chicken dishes, but would do so before taking poultry off the menu.

However, Daugherty doesn’t have as much to worry about as the Corner Room does with its all-day omelet service. The USDA said in its June monthly report on the poultry market that the avian flu outbreak has actually resulted in cheaper wholesale chicken prices in the U.S., because many countries have decided to restrict imports of U.S. poultry products in light of the recent outbreaks.

“What this situation has done is increase the amount of broiler products on the domestic market … resulting in placing downward price pressure on a number of boiler products,” according to the release.

This report also said that avian influenza has mostly reached egg-laying chickens and turkeys and has not yet significantly impacted the production of boiler meat.

Arts Fest, from page 1 The festival started off on July 8 with the annual Children and Youth Day, which was entirely geared toward young artists and performers. On July 9 through July 11, the annual sidewalk sale and exhibition brought more than 300 exhibitors to downtown State College and University Park.

“If you just look at the eclectic array of artists, it is very obvious when you look at their work that each one is striving for excellence within their own artistic endeavors,” Flowers said.

In addition to selling his watercolor paintings, Flowers won one of 10 $500 merit awards.

Every year a panel of jurors visits each exhibitor and awards numerous prizes totaling $17,000 in prize money, according to an Arts Fest information packet.

Photographer Patricia Wilder, of New York, was honored with the Arete Best of Show Award with a cash prize of $2,900, which she said she plans on using to further her artistic work.

Wilder said she knew that she won some type of award when she was invited to the 9 a.m. awards ceremony on July 11, but she said she had no idea it would be the Best in Show Award.

“It’s pretty humbling considering all the wonderful artists who are here,” said Wilder, who was at Arts Fest for the second time.

Festivalgoers had the chance to admire new artwork set up in booths lining Allen Street, Fairmount Avenue, Fraser Street and parts of Penn State’s campus. Artists also benefited from the sales they made during the four days.

“It’s like always. Some do better than others; it’s capital. So, not everyone is

going to make a fortune, but overall the artists do pretty well,” said festival director Rick Bryant.

While the jurors change year to year, the juried art show and the sale is something that happens annually. Something new this year was the expanded efforts of Brad Fey and his Fest Zero team.

Fest Zero is a group of volunteers with one goal in mind — working toward making Arts Fest a zero-waste festival. This year, the group added compost bins to all 26 spots throughout the festival where trash bins and recycling bins were located.

Fey said adding recycling bins and a limited number of compost bins last year increased recycling efforts 10 times over previous years’ numbers, producing 4,000 pounds of recycled items. He said he expects the poundage of recycled and composted items to increase even more this year.

“Going forward, the goal is to make everything that people buy compostable or recyclable,” Fey said.

The next step is to get food vendors to participate in making a zero-waste festival.

Fey will encourage more vendors to switch to items that are recyclable and compostable, such as cups molded out of cornstarch or cane sugar, for next year’s event.

“The challenge is making it as easy as possible. Eventually, we want to reduce the six bins down to like two bins, so its either compost or recycling,” Fey said. “Then it will be truly zero waste.”

But, that requires that all food vendors participate. This year, Cozy Thai Bistro was the first to participate in using compostable plates and forks.

Compostable materials are often more expensive, but Fey said that Fest Zero hopes to raise money to buy these materials in bulk and sell them to vendors at a

“Once we have our model and business operating system, it would be great if we

shared it with other events,” he said.

Next year’s Arts Fest is scheduled for Wednesday, July 13, through Sunday, July 17.

STATE COLLEGE — The brightly colored flags, aromatic smells of food and hundreds of vendor booths lining the streets paint just a tiny picture of the State College Arts Festival. Having endured for nearly 50 years, Arts Fest has created a tradition in downtown State College, with many dedicated artists participating since the very beginning in July 1966.

Dick Brown, a local photographer, is one of those who has been selling his work since the launch of the Arts Fest.

Over the past 49 years, Brown has noticed some changes to the event.

“Things have come and gone. Back then, when I did my first show, (it) went in front of Old Main. You showed up on Saturday and set up wherever. The fee was only $10 to $20 and now I pay $1,000.

“At one time, there were kiosks where artists demonstrated their work. (The festival) has gotten much bigger and the quality of work is much better,” Brown said.

Starting as a very small festival and growing to one that now hosts more than 300 artists, there has to be something special about Arts Fest that keeps dedicated artists coming back.

“It is like homecoming week for me. People I haven’t seen since the last show are here. It gives me a chance to talk to them. That’s why it is so special for me. I don’t know

what I will do when I’m done. I won’t miss selling my work, but sitting around talking to people,” Brown said.

Lanny Tewell, a leatherworker, has been selling his items since 1971 and Arts Fest was the “very first show I ever did, so it’s kind of like I grew up here.”

But what is it that sets the State College event apart from all the other festivals these artists have attended?

Tewell has noticed a certain characteristic that he has not seen at other shows around the U.S. “It has been here for a long time, which helps. But the organization and the quality of how it is run is something you don’t see anywhere else.”

Brown agreed. “They have a staff that just volunteers.

They are outstanding. This outfit is very professional.”

Many of the younger artists who participate in the youth day get a small taste of having their own business for one day. Cecilia Leskowicz, 17, started sewing doll clothes, specifically princess dresses, when she was younger and now has been selling her pieces for six years.

“It’s a fun way to earn money. It gives kids the opportunity to operate their own business. You learn a lot of the fundamentals,” Leskowicz said.

All the money 11-year-old Sadie Watson made from her painted shoes is going to benefit THON. She and her mom, Heidi Watson, saw a post on Pinterest featuring painted shows and decided it was a cool and creative idea. Despite it being Sadie’s first year selling, she already developed a successful sales mantra: “Smile big and smile pretty!”

Sadie’s attitude permeated the festival, providing a joyful experience for nearly every attendee. Locals Tracy Burn and Linda Nolf watched their kids enjoying a demonstration by one of the vendors on Youth Day. “I have been coming with my boys for six years. I like Youth Day the best — it is very fun for the kids and I love

Mankind celebrates exploration milestone

By Newsday Look closely. There’s little Pluto, ready for its close-up.

The orphan of the solar system — unceremoniously booted in 2006 from the roster of planets for being a mere dwarf planet — is now the center of astronomical attention. NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft flew tantalizingly close to Pluto this week. The voluminous data and the photos New Horizons will send back — with their potential for unprecedented detail and clarity — have scientists salivating.

Every aspect of this mission is awe-inspiring. New Horizons, the fastest spacecraft ever launched, is the size of a grand piano. In 9 years it has traveled 3 billion miles, so far that its signals take 4 hours to reach flight controllers at Johns Hopkins University. And, the spacecraft is still intact. So far. Pluto’s moons and the space dust that orbits Pluto pose dangers.

This is a feel-good moment for an industry that has seen the failure of three International Space Station cargo ships — two American, one Russian — in the past 10 months. The most recent was the explosion in June of an unmanned SpaceX rocket carrying supplies.

But it’s bittersweet too. The Pluto flyby is the final stop in NASA’s mission to explore every planet in our solar system (Pluto wasn’t downgraded until seven months after New Horizons launched). The New Horizons team hopes to push out to even farther reaches of the solar system after Pluto, but no grand new expeditions are on the horizon.

The phase of exploration embodied by Mariner, Viking and Voyager is coming to a close. The future hinges on a debate involving budgets, risks, priorities, and the roles to be played by public and private enterprise.

As much as we still don’t know about space, we can say this with certainty: Amazing discoveries have been made.

The boundaries of our knowledge have been extended.

Imaginations have been unleashed.

So let’s celebrate New Horizons and the people behind it and what we will learn from this remarkable achievement. And let’s salute Pluto, the celestial underdog finally getting its day.

Katie’s time in 16th Senate race?

By DR. G. TERRY MADONNA and DR. MICHAEL YOUNG

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? The jury is still out on that old chestnut and may continue to be out indefinitely.

But here’s an easier one: What if the Pennsylvania Democratic Party holds a U. S. Senate primary and (almost) no candidates show up? What happens then?

That one is easier both because it might happen and also because the answer is not an epistemological puzzle. The answer is this: national Democrats as well as state Democrats lose big.

They lose because the still embryonic 2016 Pennsylvania U.S. Senate race remains one of the 10 top national races that will determine which party controls the U.S. Senate. Democrats need the Pennsylvania seat to win back the Senate as well as at least four other seats.

Losing Pennsylvania almost certainly means failure to gain control of the Senate. Even if Democrats win the presidency in 2016, it will seem a hollow win if Congress stays in GOP control.

The stakes could not be higher.

Democrats, however, are not without hope; they believe their one million-plus registration edge will help defeat the Republican incumbent Pat Toomey, especially because more of their voters will turn out and because of the decline of ticket splitting, given the increased polarization of the electorate.

But 15 months from Election Day, those still hopeful Democrats don’t yet have a candidate they think can win.

The candidate they do have — Joe Sestak — is a former Congressman, Navy officer and 2010 nominee who narrowly lost to Toomey. A substantial number of Democratic Party officials don’t think he can raise enough money to win in 2016, don’t think he can run a successful campaign, don’t think he is a good fit for the party and don’t like him very much — in many cases, don’t like him at all. His iconoclastic style has left him estranged from many.

Consequently, Democrats have been scrambling to find someone to challenge Sestak, win the party nomination and defeat Toomey in the fall 2016 election. A bevy of prominent Democrats were once mentioned, including former Congresswoman Allison Schwartz, Attorney General Kathleen Kane and Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter. None of them worked out.

Ultimately, national Democrats including Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York tried to recruit Josh Shapiro, a talented Montgomery County commissioner to take on Sestak. He also declined.

POLITICALLY UNCORRECTED For some time it looked like Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski would provide a primary opponent, but he suddenly suspended his campaign earlier this month amid an FBI investigation into Allentown’s contracting practices.

Are state Democrats out of luck and out of time?

They certainly are almost out of time. Modern campaigns require money, a work force and the time to create an organization. The clock is ticking louder and louder.

But Democrats may not yet be out of luck. Sitting in the wings may be one of the most formidable candidates they could run against Toomey.

And she hasn’t said no!

One Kathleen McGinty — “Katie” to most — has been hiding in plain sight while Democrats fumbled around looking for a candidate. While holding down a day job as chief of staff to Gov. Tom Wolf, she brings an impressive résumé and long list of accomplishments to the table. A former adviser to President Clinton, she also served as the chairwoman of the Council of Environmental Advisors, Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and a candidate for governor of Pennsylvania in 2014.

Numerous press reports are confirming that Democratic leaders have

now approached her about running — perhaps getting into the race by late summer.

How realistic is a late McGinty candidacy? Some Democrats reluctantly believe Sestak has the primary wrapped up by now, while others doubt a challenger will still appear.

Doom and gloom pervade Democratic circles about this race.

It shouldn’t.

If McGinty does run, she will be formidable, the beneficiary of political forces emerging over the past quarter century, dating back to Lynn Yeakel’s 1992 narrow Senate loss to Arlen Specter in “the year of the woman.” A palpable hunger exists for women candidates for major office in Pennsylvania.

Then, too, it is likely Hillary Clinton will head the Democratic ticket in 2016, auguring auspiciously both for high Democratic turnout and for an electorate favoring women candidates.

Moreover, if McGinty runs, she will have Wolf’s support, which will mean significant financial assistance as well as the support of the Wolf organization. More help will come from national Democrats while several state party leaders including the powerful Congressman Bob Brady have already offered support. Against Sestak she may have a clear path to victory, running with the enthusiastic support of the party against a selfstyled maverick with little party support.

Finally, McGinty is a smart, talented and savvy politician who knows her way around both Washington and Harrisburg and will bring energy to a campaign sorely lacking it so far.

GOP incumbent Pat Toomey, despite his conservative leanings and the registration edge against him, will be very hard to beat in 2016. Katie McGinty might do it — and at this point, she could be the only one who can.

Iran deal needs serious debate

By Newsday There are two avenues to bring about change in the Mideast — diplomacy or war. The American public rightly has no stomach for more war.

And the alternative to the Iranian nuclear arms deal announced Tuesday could well be a horrifying regional arms race.

But can the deal work?

Some aspects seem promising.

Noteworthy are the reductions in Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium and number of centrifuges, as well as multiyear bans on its ability to import conventional weapons and missiles. The easing of crippling sanctions would come only after Iran takes initial steps toward dismantling its program. And if Iran violates the agreement, the sanctions “snap back.”

Still, uncertainty abounds.

How unfettered will the inspection

Unless labeled as a Gazette editorial, all views on the Opinion page are those of the First authors. Affiliated

regime be? Does “anytime anywhere” mean just that? Will the deal really extend the “breakout” time to at least one year that Iran would need to produce a nuclear weapon if it decides to abandon the deal? And will it keep it there for at least a decade? What shape will Iran’s nuclear industry be in after 10 or 15 years? Will Iran ramp up its sponsorship of terrorism with the money coming from the lifting of sanctions?

These questions about what is a detailed arms-control agreement need careful study by experts. Other questions will be answerable only by history. We simply don’t know the impact of future world events or how Iran will behave as it rejoins the community of nations.

The virulent, canned attacks that greeted the announcement — much of it from people who had not yet studied the text of the agreement — were predictable. The messy politics

of the Middle East, the brewing 2016 presidential campaign and strident rote opposition to anything done by President Barack Obama combine to make a toxic stew of dissent. We all need to replace the rhetoric with a sober discussion of the best way to implement and monitor the terms of the deal. Congress has 60 days to decide whether to try to block the agreement. It should use that time to seriously examine it and keep the posturing to a minimum.

Retain all skepticism about Iran; its past behavior demands that we be wary.

But understand the wisdom behind Secretary of State John Kerry’s observation that “confidence is never built overnight.” It is part of a long process, Kerry said, and that’s the road we must start down.

Not because it’s easy, but because no other road leads where we want to go.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

Know the symptoms of a silent heart attack HERSHEY — It’s possible to have a heart attack and not even know it.

Maybe it’s because you’re stoic when it comes to pain and fatigue. Or maybe you write off your symptoms as heartburn or indigestion. It’s even possible that your own body is kicking up its reserves to mask symptoms of what is happening inside.

No matter the reason, it’s important to know about the causes of unrecognized, or silent, heart attacks and how to prevent them.

Dr. Charles Chambers, a cardiologist at Penn State Hershey Heart and Vascular Institute, said the big five risk factors for acute heart attacks also apply when it comes to the silent variety: high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking and genetics.

While typical heart attack symptoms include chest pain that radiates up the neck and down the arm, sweatiness, shortness of breath and nausea, the silent variety flaunt their presence less, especially among women and diabetics.

“Women often experience chest pain differently, such as fatigue or tiredness, and not the typical pressure in the center of their chest,” Chambers said. “Diabetics may have damaged nerve fibers and therefore may have less ability to sense pain.”

In acute heart attacks, blood clots form quickly and cause an artery to close. In silent ones, the collateral coronary arteries may have time to grow and form connections that

mute typical heart attack symptoms and can protect the heart muscle from more serious damage.

Often, those who experience silent heart attacks don’t even realize something significant happened. They simply feel unwell or strangely fatigued and don’t know why. Or, they may have no symptoms at all. It isn’t until medical professionals do an electrocardiogram and note damaged tissue on the heart muscle that the diagnosis can be made.

Damaged heart tissue evolves into scar tissue, but Chambers said it is possible to have normal heart function after a small heart attack, depending on how much of the heart is damaged.

“We are all born with more heart muscle than we need to do the activities of daily living,” he said. “The importance of diagnosing a silent one is that once you have had one, it increases your risk of having another heart attack.”

Being aware of your personal risk factors, addressing them and receiving regular medical care are the best ways to prevent heart attacks, silent or otherwise.

Chambers adds, that, if in doubt, check it out.

“The same nerve fibers that supply the heart also supply the chest wall muscle, the lungs and food pipe,” Chambers said. “All those organs can give you pain, so sometimes it’s hard to differentiate between that and a heart attack.”

UNLIKE ACUTE heart attacks, the symptoms of silent heart attacks are harder to recognize.

Those experiencing one may not even realize it is happening.

Registration open for the Heart and Stroke Walk STATE COLLEGE — The American Heart Association invites workplaces, community groups, friends and family from across Centre County to lace up their sneakers and register now for the 2015 Centre County Heart and Stroke Walk, Sunday, Sept. 20, at Penn State University Park in State College. Registration begins at noon at the State College Spikes stadium, Medlar Field at Lubrano Park, and the walk steps off at 1 p.m.

The Heart and Stroke Walk is a family friendly event to promote the importance of physical activity for heart health and raise funds to support the American Heart Association’s lifesaving mission to

build healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke, the nation’s No. 1 and No. 5 killers. This year’s event will give attendees the opportunity to walk or run a non-competitive 1-mile or 5K route through the Penn State campus. The event also features vendors, health information, blood pressure screenings, CPR demonstrations, team photos, healthy snacks and activities for kids.

“Two years ago, this summer, I had a spontaneous coronary artery dissection. If it wasn’t for me living a healthy lifestyle, the quick action of my co-workers, my doctors, cardiologist, heart catheterization lab, nurses and my surgeon, I wouldn’t

be here today,” said Linda Poorman, wellness associate of Geisinger Health Plan and chair of the 2015 Centre County Heart and Stroke Walk. “More people are surviving cardiac events like mine because of research and advancements in care made possible by people who support events like the Heart Walk.”

The fundraising goal for the 2015 Centre County Heart and Stroke Walk is $70,000.

Walkers who raise a minimum of $100 will receive a Heart Walk T-shirt and the opportunity to receive additional prizes based on their fundraising levels.

Penn Staters spend summer working at national park

By JENNIFER MILLER Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — On any given day, Penn State student Cassidy Crawford is responsible for opening and closing a visitor center and all things in between at Jenny Lake District in the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.

“I spend time behind the Jenny Lake Visitor Center desk answering questions about the trail system, wildflowers, wildlife and geology,” Crawford said. “I also spend time developing programs and studying the ecology and natural history.”

As an intern through Penn State’s Department of Recreation, Park and Tourism Management, Crawford is responsible for four formal programs at Grand Teton: ■ A one-mile guided hike to Hidden Falls where, along the way, she teaches about the geology of Grand Teton National Park.

■ A bear safety program, where participants learn how to keep themselves and the bears safe in the park.

■ A young naturalist program, where children and their parents learn the basics of natural history and ecology.

■ Lakeshore Conversations, a facilitated-dialogue program encouraging visitors to get involved with the Find Your Park initiative.

“When I am not behind the desk or leading programs I can be patrolling the grounds answering questions and helping visitors, or helping wildlife management with a black bear in the Jenny Lake Campground,” Crawford said. “I am learning how to connect to visitors and in turn help visitors connect to this amazing natural resource. I am learning a lot about myself as a teacher, as well as able to explore and learn about the ecology here in the park.”

Several courses in her major prepared Crawford for this opportunity, as well as Penn State courses affiliated with Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center. There, Crawford learned how to interpret the natural world as well as handle visitors’ motivations for going to a natural area such as Grand Teton National Park.

“I have already been able to analyze myself as a teacher and communicator,” Crawford said. “Spending so much time with the public has also improved my public-speaking skills and presentation techniques. “I also hope to network throughout the park, making valuable connections with co-workers and administrators. I could not be more grateful to be in the position I am, and to get such an amazing internship with so many opportunities.”

Following graduation, Crawford hopes to earn a master’s degree and work for the National Park Service.

For Justin Haug, who graduated from Penn State in December 2013, one visit to Yosemite National Park while he was serving in the U.S. Navy determined his career path.

“From that point on I knew I wanted to pursue a career giving back to these incredible places,” Haug said.

After completing his military service as an information technician, which included deployments for Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, Haug began studying recreation, park and tourism management at Penn State.

He served as a wildland firefighter in the Black Hills of South Dakota before interning at Grand Teton.

“I had backpacked through Grand Teton in years prior and it was a magical place located next to a pretty interesting town, Jackson. It just so happens that Yellowstone is only 25 miles north of Grand Teton. Talk about an added bonus,” Haug said.

Haug, who is currently a graduate student at Texas A&M University, is now in his third season at Grand Teton. After Haug’s first season as an intern, Andrew Langford, Jenny Lake District interpreter, hired him as an Interpretive National Park Ranger.

“Once I was offered the position over the phone, my boss asked me if I needed a few days to think about the offer. I was so excited that I accepted the position on the spot,” Haug said. “As soon as I got off of the phone I started jumping up and down on

Grand Teton National Park sees roughly three million visitors a year, with 90 percent visiting during the summer. The Jenny Lake Visitor Center sees thousands of visitors daily.

Crawford and Haug hold similar positions in the park. They are responsible for staffing the information desk in the visitor center. They also research and prepare ranger-led programs, from guided hikes to children’s programs. And they patrol the Jenny Lake Campground to educate campers about proper food storage and bear safety.

“Bears are a common occurrence on

the trails, with any typical day having one or more bears, mostly black bears, on the trails, in the campground or right outside the visitor center,” Langford said. “Justin and Cassidy are both always eager to help with this duty. Many interns have left at the end of the summer saying, ‘This was the best summer of my life,’ and I expect this to be the case with both Justin and Cassidy.”

Langford said he is consistently impressed with the quality of interns he hires from Penn State.

“They have an excellent understanding of interpretive principals, and experience through the program, conducting interpretive programs for park visitors.”

SECOND-GRADE STUDENTS at Wingate Elementary sang “America the Beautiful” prior to their Freedom Walk.

Students honor heroes with Freedom Walk

WINGATE — Second-grade students at Wingate Elementary held an end-of-theschool-year ceremony to honor all American heroes.

The students came up with the idea of holding their own Freedom Walk after reading the true story of a 9-year-old boy from Ohio who organized a Freedom Walk to honor the heroes who helped our country on 9/11.

The Wingate students extended the idea to honor all heroes, including military personnel, EMTs, doctors, nurses, firefighters and more.

The students created a bulletin board, made a banner to lead the walk and

planned a ceremony held in front of the school’s American flag. The Wingate Elementary PTA donated funds to purchase individual flags for each student to carry.

During the ceremony, students recited the Pledge of Allegiance, sang patriotic songs and placed a wreath at the flagpole’s base. The wreath was made by secondgrade student Grace Seth, with the help of her mother.

The Freedom Walk then was held on Wingate’s school grounds, led by students carrying a “Freedom Walk” banner. Each class signed up for a 20-minute slot to join in the event, which continued throughout the day.

State High sophomore named finalist in competition STATE COLLEGE — The State College Area School District encourages all students to aim high, but Alyssa Huff is taking the notion literally.

Huff, a rising State High junior, recently was named a Top 5 finalist in the first Genes in Space competition, an effort sponsored in part by Boeing and the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space to place a studentdesigned experiment involving DNA analysis on the International Space Station, 250 miles above Earth.

Chosen from 330 applicants, finalists were scheduled to work with mentor scientists from Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to refine their proposals before presenting them July 7 through, July 9 to a panel of judges at the ISS Research and Development Conference in Boston.

“It was hard to take in, it was so unbelievable,” Huff said about learning of her selection. “It was so surreal. It took a long time for it to sink in.”

Finalists also hail from Bedford, N.Y., Braintree, Mass., Sammish, Wash., and Houston, Texas.

All of the finalists’ experiments used a portable thermal cycler from miniPCR, a sponsor along with Math for America.

Thermal cyclers, also known as PCR machines, are used to amplify DNA segments by manipulating temperature through the polymerase chain reaction process.

Huff has proposed using a miniPCR for an experiment that could be done in space to test alien planetary material and potentially help scientists identify extraterrestrial life better.

“I proposed using natural base pairs and unnatural base pairs (of molecules in the building blocks of the DNA double helix) to help our familiarity with more diverse genetic material,” Huff said. “Scientists could collect some soil samples and then amplify them. Sometimes, if the genetic material is different, there’s a possibility they might not pick up on it.”

Her biology teacher, Jack Lyke, loved the idea.

“Looking for extraterrestrial life, that’s thinking out of the box,” he said. “That’s so cool.”

Lyke introduced his students to Genes in Space after hearing about it from SCASD school board director Dr. Jim Pawelczyk, a former NASA astronaut who spent 381 hours in space in 1998 as a payload specialist during the final Spacelab mission.

Huff checked the competition out, deciding it was “a good opportunity to help start my scientific career.”

“It sounded really interesting,” she said. “Then I got to it, and I thought, ‘Wow, I would never expect anything of

Pictured with Huff is her biology teacher, Jack Lyke. this magnitude to be available to students. It’s a once-in-alifetime opportunity.’”

According to the sponsors, the competition for grades seven through 12 was created “to foster creativity, collaboration and critical thinking among young innovators bridging the biological and physical sciences.”

Huff, the daughter of Penn State plant scientist David Huff, fits the bill. Inspired by science early on, she aspires to be a neurobiologist.

“Being in the Top 5 has sunk in, but going to Boston still seems strange,” she said. “It just seems like something I would dream of.”

‘Lunch-N-Learn’ designed to aid business community LEWISTOWN — Several local businesses and organizations have pooled their resources and expertise in order to provide relevant “Lunch-N-Learn” workshops for the business community. CareerLink of Mifflin County is working in conjunction with the Juniata River Valley Chamber of

Commerce to offer these monthly classes to all interested businesses.

Topics covered in previous workshops have included social media, Windows 8, marketing on a budget and organizing time.

Rhonda Moore, administrative coordinator for JRVCC, said the series is being met with great enthusiasm. “Many of our chamber members have taken advantage of these informational workshops and we are looking forward to many more benefiting from future events.”

For a number of the seminars, Cher Harpster, CareerLink business consultant, has been bringing together the

skills and knowledge of several instructors from South Hills School of Business and Technology in Lewistown.

South Hills IT instructors Matt Penning and Reana Donaldson conducted workshops in cloud technology, content marketing and email etiquette.

“It has been a blessing to have knowledgeable and professional instructors to call on to offer some of these workshops,” said Harpster. “The South Hills instructors have really come through by providing a wealth of information in their workshops that have been well received.”

Remington Ryde Bluegrass Festival fills Grange Park

By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — The ninth annual Remington Ryde Bluegrass Festival brought 20 bluegrass bands and a crowd of thousands to the Grange Fairgrounds in Centre Hall, July 9 through 12.

This year’s event drew even larger crowds than last year, with attendees coming from a dozen or more states and Canadian provinces.

The fest includes musical acts, music workshops, open jam sessions and food and craft vendors. The crowd of spectators occupied lawn chairs in the open air and under several large circus-style shade tents.

The festival was previously held at Reedsville’s Youth Park, but, according to festival organizer Ryan Frankhouser, it quickly outgrew its venue. It was relocated to the Grange Fairgrounds three years ago.

Frankhouser and three other musicians make up the Remington Ryde band, which performed to a large, enthusiastic audience on July 11. They performed a set of bluegrass favorites, finishing their act with banjo player Billy Lee Cox calling on children to join the group onstage to sing “This Little Light of Mine.” Cox, a retired minister, has been in the group for seven years, and he also conducts the church service which is held on Sunday mornings at the festivals.

Frankhouser was pleased with the turnout for the festival.

“It’s a big event for everybody,” he said.

“It keeps on growing each year.

“It’s good wholesome music — good family entertainment, and we always have a good time.”

Grange Fair manager Darlene Confer was also glad to have the Remington Ryde festival in Centre Hall, which benefits the fair organization as well as the local economy.

“We have about 500 campers out there,”

REMINGTON RYDE performs to a large crowd during this year’s outdoor event in Centre Hall. she said. “And those people go out to eat, and buy gas and other things in Centre Hall.”

Some of the campers travel long distances to get here. The Snyder family, from Buffalo, N.Y., rolled in towing their 1959

vintage Holly Mascot 15-foot travel trailer.

Sue Snyder said her husband, Todd, found the camper in an online classified ad. It had been sitting abandoned in a field, and the Snyders restored it, adding bunks for their three children. The family travels to

A BUTTERFLY RELEASE adds a little something to a birthday party, wedding or graduation party.

Rose Franklin’s Perennials rears butterflies for those occasions.

Centre County business takes flight selling live butterflies SPRING MILLS — This summer, Rose Franklin’s Perennials is rearing thousands of monarch, swallowtail and painted lady butterflies, which are are available for release at weddings, birthday and anniversary parties, grand openings and other special events.

Franklin and her husband, Andrew Smith, have been raising butterflies at their secluded home every summer since 1993.

During the past 18 years, they have reared and released more than 15,000, most of which were monarchs.

Franklin joined the International Butterfly Breeders Association in 2010 and obtained permits from the USDA to ship live butterflies to 34 states. She is advertising their availability on her website, where she also has offered hummingbird- and butterfly-attracting plants since 2001.

For release at weddings, butterflies are often packaged individually in envelopes

and then released on cue by the members of the wedding party.

Sometimes though, they are displayed in ornate containers or hanging lace cylinders until the time of the release, then passed out hand-to-hand to the individuals who will be participating.

“Despite what you may have been told in the past, butterflies are not harmed by holding them gently with closed wings,” Franklin said.

The idea of butterfly releases may have come from American Indians, who believed that to make a wish come true, one had to capture a butterfly, whisper a wish to it and then set it free.

Upon its release, the butterfly would soar toward the heavens, where the message would be deciphered and the wish granted.

MILESBURG — The Milesburg Lions Club made history on July 7 when they elected Sallty Tressler as their first female president.

Lions Club International was originally founded as a men’s organization, but expanded its membership to include women. The Milesburg club began offering membership to women in the 1990s.

In addition to Tressler, other officers for the upcoming year were sworn in during the club’s regular meeting, held at the Milesburg Community Center.

Established in 1949, the Milesburg Lions Club has contributed toward the welfare of the community and to various worthwhile humanitarian causes across the globe.

Charles Poust, newly elected governor of District 14G, and his wife, Nancy, attended the meeting and officiated at the induction ceremony of Tressler, secretary Joan Haus, treasurer Michael Zucco, membership chairperson Brenda Davidson, Tail Twister Herbert Reed and Lion Tamer John Romani.

A pin was presented to Andrew Swarm for managing weekly bingo, which is the club’s primary fundraiser. Swarm, in turn, praised the other Lions who work with him and volunteer at bingo each week.

Poust also presented two Milesburg Lions — Philip Sampsel and outgoing president Howard “Butch” Haus — with the prestigious Melvin Jones Fellowship Award from the Lions Club International for their many years of dedicated humanitarian service through the club.

‘Wings in the Park’ celebrates pollinators

By SALLY MCMURRY For the Gazette

STATE COLLEGE — The seventh annual Wings in the Park celebration will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, July 18, at the Snetsinger Butterfly Garden at Tom Tudek Memorial Park, 400 Herman Drive, State College.

Wings in the Park is a free annual event popular with adults and children alike. Its purpose is to educate the public about the importance of pollinators to our ecosystems and our everyday lives.

Not too long ago, the current 3-acre Snetsinger Butterfly Garden site was an old, overgrown agricultural field. At the time, Dr. Robert “Butterfly Bob” Snetsinger, for whom the garden is named, found just a handful of butterfly species in the area.

Under Butterfly Bob’s patient restoration efforts, native plants were introduced to the field, resulting in an increase of more than 30 resident butterfly species.

Penn State Extension master gardeners have partnered with the garden since 2007.

Through the development of demonstration gardens, master gardeners have

provided visitors the opportunity to interact and learn how to create pollinator habitats of their own.

These demonstration areas include the large Pollinator-Friendly Demonstration Garden, which features an extensive variety of native plants; the Native Bee Conservation Garden and Bee Hotel; the Woodland Demonstration Garden; and an official Monarch Waystation, designated by the organization Monarch Watch as a habitat specifically designed to support the monarch butterfly.

Butterflies come to the Snetsinger Butterfly Garden habitat to sip nectar and lay eggs. Their caterpillar offspring eat leaves from the native host plants. Each caterpillar then forms a chrysalis, where it miraculously metamorphoses into the adult butterfly.

Butterflies are the main focus of study and educational efforts at the site, but many other insect and animal species come to the garden, often serving important pollinator roles.

More than 50 species of birds have been documented in the habitat, including the ruby-throated hummingbird, an exciting pollinator to watch.

the day at 10 a.m. All are invited to come dressed as their favorite pollinator — perhaps a carpenter bee, a Luna moth or a hummingbird.

The Great Scavenger Hunt, butterfly net construction, the observation honeybee hive, caterpillar cookie decoration and the shutterbug booth are all activities that will be popular with kids.

Parents can learn how to garden for pollinators, see the view from the planned Serenity Space or chat with Butterfly Bob himself.

More than a dozen exhibits will represent organizations such as the Penn State Center for Pollinator Research, Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center, the Pennsylvania Native Plant Society, the Frost Entomological Museum, Discovery Space Children’s Science Museum and more, with hands-on activities and information for the whole family.

At the Snetsinger Gallery, an art exhibit will show children’s art work. And, community stewards — individuals or groups, such as the Girl Scouts, who tend particular spots in the garden — will be on hand to share how they contribute to the garden’s mission.

Providing a healthy ecosystem for these pollinators is critically important, as approximately 90 percent of flowering plants, 75 percent of human crops and 33 percent of human food depend on pollinators. Any decline of pollinators through habitat loss, increased pesticide and herbicide use, pollution or global warming will have a devastating impact on ecosystems.

With the loss of pollinator habitat cited as one of the most critical reasons for the decline of pollinators throughout the United States, individuals, schools, businesses and communities can play a vital role by creating pollinator-friendly habitats on their properties and in their backyards.

The Snetsinger Butterfly Garden is playing a leading role in the community to promote the importance of pollinators and educate the public on how they can incorporate pollinator-friendly practices into their own lives.

Wings in the Park will offer many ways to learn about pollinators. This year the first 150 households to attend will receive a free native plant, orange butterfly weed, which is a “butterfly magnet” for monarchs and other species.

Friends of Schlow Library becomes fundraising foundation

VISITORS CAN go on patrol with a point man during the annual “Vietnam Revisited Living History Combat Bivouac” program.

The foundation will be assisted in its fundraising efforts by Schlow Library’s new manager of philanthropy, Molly Hetrick. Hetrick comes to Schlow with a strong fundraising and grant-writing background, having worked as the supervisor of Millbrook Marsh Nature Center for 12 years. There, she wrote numerous grants and managed a $1.25 million capital campaign.

Hetrick will work with foundation board members to foster new fundraising opportunities and cultivate existing relationships.

The Schlow Library Foundation is teaming up with Town & Gown magazine to celebrate the 10th birthday of Schlow’s current building with a fundraising event on Saturday, Oct. 2. “Meet the Sportswriters” will feature well-known sportswriters from The New York Daily News and other periodicals, and will include State College native Michael Weinreb, a reporter for Rolling Stone magazine.

STATE COLLEGE — The Friends of Schlow Library has officially changed its name to the Schlow Library Foundation.

According to foundation board president Sue Werner, the change reflects the greater need for the nonprofit to raise funds for the library.

“This transition will give the library one fundraising arm that combines the Friends and Schlow campaigns. Our purpose remains the same — to help maintain Schlow as a vibrant resource in the Centre Region,” said Werner.

Cuts in state funding have resulted in a cumulative loss of more than $1 million since 2007. It is the goal of the Schlow Library Foundation to help restore funding by securing donations from community members and businesses in the surrounding area. The foundation will work to ensure that the excellent level of service and variety of materials the community has come to expect will continue without interruption.

COMMUNITY PROFILE Magical Millheim has plenty to offer

By T. WAYNE WATERS correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

MILLHEIM – The name tells the historic tale for the borough of Millheim, located on Route 45 next to Aaronsburg, about 30 miles east of State College in Penns Valley.

The word “heim” is the German equivalent for home.

Millheim got its name — essentially “mill home” — due to a millhouse that was built next to Elk Creek a couple of centuries ago.

Several mills were eventually built in the area and two of them still stand, though no longer serving as mills. The oldest is a three-story building with brickwork from several different time periods that was originally constructed in 1817. Another is an early-20th-century silk mill. Millheim still features the millrace waterway coming off the Elk, which flows through the downtown area and provides great paddling for its duck residents.

The Millheim community has worked to maintain its historic architecture, according to Alan Ilgen, president of the Millheim Borough Council, though without making it difficult for new businesses to set up shop there. The Millheim Historic District was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, with nearly 200 buildings noted.

THERE ARE several picturesque locations in Millheim, including this gazebo in the park.

MILLHEIM OFFERS a variety of shops that attract residents and visitors.

SUMMERTIME CHECKLIST: ✓ Pressure wash the deck ✓ Trim the hedges ✓ Trim the tree branches ✓ Cut down the brush ✓ MOW THE LAWN!

Ilgen, a financial planner when he isn’t presiding over the council, is a native Pennsylvanian who grew up in nearby Rebersburg and has lived in Millheim since 1979.

“The biggest change over the years is the revitalization of the downtown,” said Ilgen. “There is some type of business now in virtually every one of the old Millheim buildings. That’s something that has happened in the last 10 or 12 years.”

One of Millheim’s most popular spots is the Elk Creek Café + Aleworks, a local brewery bistro and music hall.

Other well-established food and beverage operations include the IngleBean Coffee House; the Millheim Hotel, which has an eatery and bar in addition to 20 rooms; Original Italian Pizza, with a secondary ice cream operation; and The Wine Shop at Millheim which sells wine from Shade Mountain Vineyards, located near Middleburg.

“Elk Creek Café and Aleworks has been the biggest draw to Millheim,” said Ilgen. “It has really helped bring people to the town. A lot of people from State College, Bellefonte and Lewisburg come because they’ve heard about it. People come to eat at Elk Creek on a Saturday and they go across to the Green Drake or maybe stop in one of the other stores — the Good Scents candle shop or elsewhere.”

Millheim is also home to the popular Green Drake Gallery & Arts Center, a multi-faceted exhibition, education and community space, as well as Three Porches Bed & Breakfast, a community pool, meat market, bank, beauty parlor, veterinarian, attorney, computer technician, fu-

neral home, several auto repair operations and hardware, jewelry, women’s clothing, gift and convenience stores.

Millheim has three special-event venues. The Bremen Town Ballroom is a rentable 100-capacity events center with a commercial kitchen. Its sister operation, The UpTexas Chapel, is also rentable.

The Millheim Theatre boasts a 375-seat, approximately 4,000-square-foot auditorium that is also available to rent.

The theater opened in 1923 and served for decades as a live-performance and film venue. It retains much of its historic ambiance.

Though the business profile of Millheim has improved in recent years as new businesses have opened, Ilgen noted that the town remains a small rural community where the majority of residents commute to work in State College and Bellefonte and other places. “The people here are very friendly and have a lot of pride in Millheim,” he added.

Millheim has about 900 folks living there and is served by a volunteer fire department. Its biggest festival is the Mayfly Festival in early June, when food and beverage vendors, musical performances, artistry and craftsmanship exhibitions, and demonstrations of various outdoorsy skills make for an enjoyable weekend.

The Millheim Fireman’s Carnival breaks out in revelry a couple of weeks after Mayfly Festival and Oktoberfest at Millheim Fire Company takes place late in September.

JULY 16-22, 2015

Make these chilly treats for every occasion After splashing in the pool, rooting on your favorite team or playing in the backyard, nothing beats the end of a long summer day like a cool, classic treat. So grab the kids, some bowls, spoons and the trusty old ice cream scoop — and dig in.

July is National Ice Cream Month, and aficionados agree that when it comes to the best tasting ice cream, “fresh” is the must-have ingredient. For nearly 80 years, Blue Bunny has been making premium ice cream using only the best, locally-sourced milk from within 75 miles and turning it into out-of-this-world ice cream in less than 24 hours.

Creamery to debut new flavor, ice cream passport Celebration of Penn State Berkey Creamery’s 150th anniversary begins

By CURTIS CHAN Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — The celebration of the Penn State Berkey Creamery’s 150th anniversary kicked into high gear during the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts at the University Park campus and downtown State College.

Visitors to the Creamery’s regular storefront and its festival tent on the mall sam-

pled the new anniversary flavor, Birthday Cake, along with other flavors as they try to fill one of the new Creamery passports.

According to Tom Palchak, the Creamery’s manager, the new flavor is a yellow cake batter ice cream with blue frosting swirls and frosted cookie freckles. Ice cream fans picked the birthday cake flavor over strawberry cheesecake and red velvet by voting online and through social media.

The Creamery is currently soliciting suggestions for a name for the new flavor at www.creamery.psu.edu/150/anniversaryflavor.

Also debuting during the Arts Festival was a limited edition ice cream passport.

The souvenir passport will allow patrons to keep track of all the flavors they’ve consumed. Visitors can add stamps to their passports for each of the 50 flavors listed in the booklet.

Established in 1865, the Creamery began as a barn on campus producing and selling dairy products such as fresh milk and cheese. Ice cream was added to the menu in 1920.

The Creamery moved to its present-day location on Curtin Road on Sept. 29, 2006.

Many celebrities have visited the Creamery over the years, including President Bill Clinton, Martha Stewart and most recently, Jeff Gordon.

MEMBERS OF THE Nittany Valley Little League Softball All-Stars celebrate following a 3-1 victory over New Bethlehem at the Section 4 Tournament in Indiana on July 11.

Punching their Ticket

Nittany Valley Softball All-Stars advance to states with dramatic victory

By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

INDIANA — There’s no quit in the Nittany Valley 11- and 12-year-old All-Stars.

Down, 1-0, in the bottom of the fifth against New Bethlehem, Nittany Valley started a rally with something as simple as a walk.

When the rally was complete, Nittany Valley had a 3-1 lead and finished things off in the top of the sixth to claim a victory in the Section 4 Tournament. The win punched Nittany Valley’s ticket to the state tournament, which begins this week at Mansfield University.

The 1-0 deficit was unfamiliar territory for the Nittany Valley All-Stars.

“That was actually the first time in the sectional tournament that we were down,” explained Nittany Valley manager Doug Tice. “But we were down before at Districts. We just keep telling them that it’s a total team effort and it seems like every game there’s a different person who does something to spark some type of rally.”

On July 11, the spark came from pinch

hitter Addy Manning. With one out, Manning drew a walk. Following a strikeout, Taylor Kerr laced a single to left. With runners on first and second, Lexi Rogers ripped a double to the gap in left-center field, plating Manning with the tying run.

Then, Hanna Lauck stepped to the plate with a chance to give Nittany Valley the lead.

She delivered.

Lauck roped a two-run single to left, scoring Kerr and Rogers to make it 3-1.

Momentum had swung. The tide had turned.

“Once we got to the top of the order, our hitters really came through,” Tice said.

New Bethlehem did not go down without a fight, however. With one out in the top of the sixth, Brynn Rearick drew a walk.

Rebecca Kunselman then reached on a fielder’s choice. Brooke Holben grounded out to put runners at second and third.

Rogers then hit Karlee Wells with a pitch to load the bases.

With the potential lead run at first, Rogers took it up a notch and struck out Teja Hetrick to end the game.

After leading for 4½ innings, it was a tough loss to swallow for New Bethlehem manager Ted Kunselman.

“There was one inning where we had trouble. Not defensively, but the ball just dropped in on us,” Kunselman said. “I’m proud of them. There wasn’t anymore they could have done. I’m very proud of all the girls.”

This was the second meeting between the teams in the Sectional Tournament.

In first meeting, Nittany Valley posted a 4-0 win behind a no-hitter by Rogers. This time, New Bethlehem had a couple of hits and a few baserunners, but couldn’t put up more than one run.

“We had chances. We had walks, some hits. We just couldn’t string them together.

We had one here, one there,” Kunselman said.

Rogers was her usual dominant self. She struck out the side to start the game and finished with seven strikeouts.

“She’s just getting better and better,” Tice said of Rogers. “She’s getting stronger.

The fastball is coming along. The velocity is getting there. At the beginning, it was a

little hit and miss. I think losing the first game of Districts was a blessing in disguise because we were playing every other night.”

New Bethlehem’s lone run came in the fourth. With one out, Rearick doubled to left field. Following a ground out, Holben hit a fly ball to right. Right fielder Maddie Morelli attempted to make a sliding grab, but the ball bounced off her glove, allowing Rearick to score.

Rogers held New Bethlehem scoreless the rest of the way.

As the team readies for the State Tournament, Tice said that they are jelling as a unit and really coming together.

“As we progress further, I think they’re looking at it more as a team game,” Tice said. “It seems like every game, there’s a person that makes a play that flips the momentum in our favor. It’s not just our starters, it’s the subs coming in and doing their job. It’s everyone.”

Rain wreaks havoc on county league schedule PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

Pat Rothdeutsch is a sports writer for The Centre County Gazette. Email him at sports@ centrecounty gazette.com

“Rain, rain, go away,” is a old jingle that the players, coaches and fans of the Centre County Baseball League have been singing this entire 2015 season — to no avail.

The league announced earlier this summer that it would extend the regular season until July 17 and delay the beginning of the playoffs until July 19 because of the many rainouts experienced by every team in the league.

As of this writing, the final playoff stand-

ings still had not been decided. Philipsburg has clinched the top seed and has the league’s best record, and Clarence has secured the second seed.

However, Howard and Lemont are both still battling for the third seed, with Howard holding a one-game lead. The teams were supposed to play on the evening of July 14, but a severe storm over State College just before game time wiped the game out.

If Howard holds onto its lead, the first round of the playoffs on Sunday, July 19, would send No. 3 Howard against No. 6 Spring Mills, and No. 4 Lemont would square off against No. 5 Pleasant Gap. If Lemont were to overcome the deficit, then the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds would be switched.

The first round has only three-game series, so anything can happen, and the

opening games on July 19 will be very important.

Philipsburg will then take on the lowest seed to survive in the semifinals, and Clarence will face the other winner. The semifinals and finals with both be five-game series.

The county league playoffs in the past few seasons have been marked by exciting games and surprising upsets. No reason to think this season will be any different.

LITTLE LEAGUE RESULTS

Hats off to the Philipsburg-Osceola 11-12 Little League All-Stars.

P-O pretty much handled everyone in the recent District 5 Tournament, except for eventual champion Big Valley.

After Philipsburg and Big Valley swept through their brackets, the teams met on July 7 in the winners’ bracket final in Philipsburg. Big Valley scored first in the game,

putting up three runs in the first inning, and then held on for a 5-2 win that sent it into the championship game.

P-O was sent into the lower-bracket final against archrival Clearfield on July 10 in Philipsburg. It was an elimination game, and P-O again showed its mettle with a close 5-3 win that gave the team another shot at Big Valley, this time in the championships in Belleville on July 12.

It was not to be, however. Big Valley brought out its bats and sunk P-O to take the District 5 title. Big Valley will now take on Red Land on Saturday, July 18, in the Section 4 opener at Northern Lebanon.

The winner of the Section 4 tournament will go to the state championships beginning on Sunday, July 26, and the winner of the state championship will then be in the East Regionals, Friday, Aug. 7, through Saturday, Aug. 15.

It’s a long road to Williamsport.

Preseason honors pile up for Penn State players

By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The preseason honors continue to stack up for Penn State players.

Senior defensive tackle Anthony Zettel has been named to the Bronko Nagurski Trophy and Outland Trophy Watch Lists, while senior safety Jordan Lucas is now among the nominees for the Nagurski Trophy.

The Bronko Nagurski Trophy is handed out annually to the National Defensive Player of the Year. The award is named for a legendary two-way player from the University of Minnesota, Bronko Nagurski.

The Outland Trophy is named after the late John Outland, an All-America lineman at Penn at the turn of the 20th century, and is given to the nation’s top interior lineman (offensive or defensive).

Penn State defensive tackle Mike Reid won the Outland Trophy in 1969 and AllAmerica defensive tackle Devon Still was the most recent Nittany Lion finalist, in 2011.

Zettel is a nominee for the Bednarik Award for the National Defensive Player of the Year and claimed preseason first-team All-America accolades from Phil Steele. He was the only FBS player to rank among the national leaders in sacks and interceptions in 2014. The athletic defensive lineman nabbed three interceptions, the most by a PSU defensive lineman since at least 1959.

Lucas has been a preseason first-team All-Big Ten selection by Phil Steele and a second-team All-Big Ten choice by Lindy’s. He was an honorable-mention All-Big Ten pick last season. Lucas’ 58 stops in 2014 ranked third on the team and his nine pass breakups ranked among the best in the Big Ten.

Lift for Life raises more than $100,000 for kidney research

By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The final score in the 13th annual Lift for Life at the Penn State Lacrosse Complex on July 11 was 31-30 in favor of the offense.

Down by three points going into the final tug-of-war event, the offensive players were able to overcome the deficit and eke out the one-point win.

As far as numbers go, however, that final score was far down the importance list in this player-organized fund raiser that benefits kidney disease research through the Uplifting Athletes Organization.

By far the most important figure was $119,303, which represented the amount of money this year’s event raised for the cause.

This year was the fifth consecutive year that the fund-raising total exceeded the $100,000 mark, and it increased the total amount raised by Penn State football players in 13 years to over 1.1 million.

“It’s really fun,” senior linebacker and Uplifting Athletes chapter president Ben Kline said. “There is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes to make sure we raise a good sum of money and provide awareness for kidney cancer patients and rare disease patients.

“So the opportunity to do that today is really exciting and to be out in front of our fans and do the first physical activity in a while.

“At Penn State the culture of service is really unique and it is very important to us. We are the largest annual donor nationwide (to Uplifting Athletes) and that’s really special.”

Ninety-seven upperclassmen competed in six events — bench press, dead lift, sled push, tire flip, obstacle course, and farmer’s carry — with the full-team’s tugof-war capping the event.

The defense held a slight lead throughout the afternoon until the offense came back in the tug-of-war to take the win.

HEATHER WEIKEL/For the Gazette

THIS YEAR’S Lift for Life event came down to the tug of war, always a fan favorite.

“Days like this show what we do,” wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton said. “It’s Penn State. We’re not just student-athletes or football players we’re also people who care about other things. It’s phenomenal to see what people can do when they set their hearts at it.”

Uplifting Athletes is a student-run organization that was founded at Penn State and has since spread to more than 25 universities that represent every major conference in the country.

Besides Kline as president, the other officers of the Penn State chapter are Gregg Garrity, Chris Gulla, Joe Berg, Brendan Brosnan, Garrett Sickels, Anthony Smith, Akeel Lynch, Anthony Zettel, Koa Farmer, Dom Salomone and Brent Wilkerson.

These officers, and many of the other football players, along with a long list of other contributors and donors, spend countless hours working to make Lift for Life the huge success that it is every year.

Lift for Life also serves as a giant teambuilding activity for the football players and the incoming freshmen head into summer camp and the beginning of the 2015 season.

“This is awesome,” Brosnan said. “Got a beautiful day out here. It’s just so awesome that so many people come out an support us at an event like this and help us beat cancer. It’s really a great time out here and it’s another thing that’s special about Penn State.”

At Lift for Life, players have eyes on success in 2015

By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — On Saturday, July 11, the Penn State football players’ Lift for Life raised $119,303 that will be donated to Uplifting Athletes’ fight against kidney disease.

The event, now in its 13th year, is in every way an “uplifting” experience for everyone involved — players, sponsors, chapter officers, contributors, and fans.

Especially for the players. To a man, they talked about how proud they were about the amount of effort it took to put on an event like Lift for Life and make it as successful as it was.

But also to a man, there was something else on their minds: the upcoming 2015 season which looms just ahead with the start of training camp in mid-August.

The Nittany Lions were 7-6 last season, head coach James Franklin’s first at Penn State, and finished with a rousing, onepoint victory over Boston College in the Pinstripe Bowl.

Yet the season was filled with ups-anddowns, adjustment issues, depth problems, close losses and struggles getting used to a whole new system and coaching staff. It wasn’t what any of these players signed up for, and it wasn’t difficult to get them talking about their plans for season No. 2 under head coach Franklin.

“I am just very excited for the season,” sophomore tight end Mike Gesicki said.

“Last year we had games that we could have won, that we should have won, and this year we are going to go out every day and work hard.

“Coach Franklin has a great plan for us, and coach Donovan (offensive coordinator) has everything set up. We are going to go out there and win the games we are supposed to, all that stuff, and we have a chance to be a very good football team this year. Last year I was learning the ropes, paying my dues, and this year I’m excited to get back on the field.”

Another player excited to get back into competition, but for very different reasons,

is senior linebacker Ben Kline.

Kline, who is the president of the Penn State chapter of Uplifting Athletes, injured his knee last year and missed the entire season. After a year of rehab, Kline was out back on the field with his teammates.

“Last year was tough,” Kline said, “being out here on a cart and being fresh off the injury. It’s been a long year, and a lot has happened, and it’s really great to be out here and being able to run and actually participate.

“I’m feeling really good, and everyone’s been working toward the coming season, which is coming up quickly, and it’s really exciting.”

It was no secret that Penn State was rebuilding its offensive line last season, and other teams took full advantage of that unit’s inexperience. But it’s now a year later, and sophomore offensive tackle Brendan Brosnan said this years group is older, bigger and ready for a new challenge.

“Last year everybody knows we were an inexperienced offensive line,” Brosnan said. “It’s just huge to return so many guys with experience this year. Football is all about reps, just experience, and this year we are attacking everything like its the day before a game. We are working hard and trying to make every day count.”

Another position of concern last season was wide receiver, especially after the loss of Allen Robinson. Young players like Geno Lewis, DaeSean Hamilton, Chirs Godwin, Gregg Garrity and Saeed Blacknall were called on to step up and fill the void, and all of them will return in 2015.

For Hamilton, who is one of the fastest players on the team and one of its most productive receivers, the off-season and summer were a time to learn — and to get better.

“Summer’s going great,” Hamilton said.

“Classes going great, everything’s going great. We’re light years ahead of where we were last year at this point.

“Guys used to tell me to watch film when I was younger, and I was thinking, like, how far can film really get you? Now

HEATHER WEIKEL/For the Gazette

FORMER STATE COLLEGE Area High School player and current Penn State Nittany Lion Jack Haffner took part in Lift for Life on July 11 at Penn State.

I’m thinking that I’ve grown, and I see what an important part of the game it is.

It’s a part of the game that can put you a step ahead because you are prepared. You studied. If you don’t get the mental part about the game, you will never get where you want to be. That’s what I’m learning.”

Red-shirt freshman linebacker Koa Farmer, a highly sought-after recruit from

California two years ago, thinks the Nittany Lions are on the verge.

“We have team chemistry for sure now,” Farmer said. “We’re close. Having team chemistry, we’re all thinking together, clicking together, we’re all playing together. It’s very important. We are going to be on this year. You guys will see. We are going to be on.”

Hackenberg attends Manning Passing Academy

By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — It has been a busy summer for Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg. From working out with his teammates on campus to helping high school prospects at the Nike camp “The Opening� in Oregon, he has been all over the country.

Hackenberg added another stop on his travels this week as when he was tabbed to help out at The Manning Passing Academy. Campers come from all over to Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, Louisiana, to learn from Archie Manning, Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, Cooper Manning as well as some of the best college quarterbacks in the nation.

The camp focuses on fundamentals and skills at the position with high school prospects of all ages.

The college quarterbacks do much of the teaching and in many cases can become a news item of their own. Then Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel raised eyebrows with his work ethic — or lack of — a few years ago at the camp.

While the Mannings are not the final say in professional football, their opinions are certainly valued in NFL circles.

A good impression by Hackenberg this weekend might just pay dividends whenever he looks to start his professional career.

The camp will feature many college quarterbacks, but a few of note beyond Hackenberg include Trevone Boykin of TCU, Josh Dobbs of Tennessee, Jared Goff of Cal, Cody Kessler of USC, and Dak Prescott of Mississippi State and more.

IT HAS BEEN a busy July for Penn State starting quarterback Christian Hackenberg.

WRESTLERS ATTEND CAMP

Kicker commits to PSU

By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

BELLEFONTE WRESTLING had 34 wrestlers attend the recent Penn State Wrestling Team Camp. The team went undefeated competing against teams from New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Michigan and Maryland.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State football has gone from no scholarship players at the specialist position to landing both the top punter and now the top kicker in the nation as Rockford, Mich. specialist Quinn Nordin committed to Penn State on Friday morning.

Nordin joins Atlanta punter Blake Gillikin, the nation’s No. 1 punter according to the 247 Network Composite rankings.

At 6-foot-1, 200-pounds Nordin selected the Nittany Lions over a large number of schools including Arizona State, Georgia, Iowa, Louisville, Michigan and Michigan State.

By the end of his recruitment process Nordin was mostly considering Michigan, Penn State and Pitt.

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of Nordin’s commitment, the way he announced his decision. While technically he spoke with a small group of reporters at his high school to make the news official, he also tweeted out what is essentially a short music video to tell the rest of the world his plans.

Nordin is Penn State’s 16th verbal commit for the 2016 class but has by far given fans the most bang for their buck when it comes to recruiting news.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Imagine working a large percentage of your young life to become one of the best high school football players in the nation. Committing to a school with a rich tradition but an uncertain future.

Then imagine getting hurt your senior year of high school.

Then imagine recovering from that injury and playing your freshman year in college, only to sit out what should have been your sophomore year with another ailment.

It would be hard to stay positive. It would be even harder to bounce back, reminding everyone why you were so highly coveted not too long ago.

Welcome to Adam Breneman’s life.

“I’m 100 percent. I feel as good as I’ve felt in a long time,” Breneman said last weekend. “I still haven’t played a game with this coaching staff, as weird as that sounds to me because I’ve been around them so much. This is the first time in a while where I feel like I’m good at football again.”

While no injury is fair, it seems like an incredibly cruel twist of fate that so many obstacles have blocked his way to what should have been a much easier career path. For Breneman, a player that had been as much a symbol of Penn State’s recovery as Christian Hackenberg, he has been rewarded with challenge after challenge. Whatever your view might be of how Penn State ended up saddled with NCAA sanctions, Breneman’s willingness to be a man of his word and ride out the storm is an admirable decision to make.

“My junior year of high school I really felt like I was one of the best players in the country,” Breneman said reflecting. “I just really felt really confident in myself, and then I got hurt my senior year. I came back, my freshman season I was still kind of coming back off of my ALC surgery. I didn’t feel like I was really good at football until the second half of the season until I got my speed back, got my confidence back and obviously I was out last season. So just doing 7-on-7s and stuff has been a good development for me and get the confidence back.”

The good news for Breneman, who graduated from Cedar Cliff High School in Cumberland County, is that much of his career still lies ahead of him. If the last three years have been nothing short of a hectic and emotional ride for him, there is a certain peace that comes with knowing time is still on your side.

There is undoubtedly a fear that comes with Breneman returning to football for those around him. There is some backwards sense of calm that comes with already being injured. No need to worry about the next cut, the next tackle.

Those worries are months down the road, many rehab sessions from being a reality.

So as he takes the field again friends, family and fans will worry, even if it’s subconsciously, that it could be back to square one on any given play.

But for as much that has changed in his life, Breneman is still attacking the day with the same kind of optimism and positive energy that has gotten him this far.

“I’m excited, it’s going to be here before you know it.

Getting through camp is always a grind, but I’m excited for it to get here.”

And for his sake, everyone else is hoping this is the last time Adam Breneman’s recovery overshadows Adam Breneman’s skill.

‘Mary Poppins’ ready to hit the stage PHILIPSBURG — “Mary Poppins,” the beloved classic-film-turned-musical, will land on the IGNITE Youth Theatre stage with a heartwarming score, spoonfuls of imagination and a flying nanny Friday, July 24, and Saturday, July 25, at 7 p.m., and Sunday, July 26, at 2 p.m.

Front and Centre Productions will present this classic at Philipsburg-Osceola Area High School.

The colorful world of “Mary Poppins” will come to life, complete with rousing tap numbers, flying actors and the beloved songs from the movie.

Families are invited to travel across the Atlantic Ocean to Cherry Tree Lane, where the Banks family is about to be introduced to a magical nanny who is “practically perfect in every way.”

Justin Baumgarten and Emma Riglin, both students at Philipsburg-Osceola, will play the lead roles of chimney sweep Bert and nanny Mary Poppins.

Abby Lumadue and Nolan Hite, also from P-O, portray the mischievous Banks children, Jane and Michael, while their parents will be played by West Branch students Bennett Salter and Maddie Kovalick.

More than 50 other cast members from Moshannon Valley, Glendale, Clearfield, Curwensville and State College school districts fill out the ensemble.

Front and Centre Productions has contracted with Flying By Foy to create the special flying adventures on stage for Mary Poppins, Bert and Miss Andrew.

Producer Stephen Switala is excited to bring flight to the P-O stage for the first time.

“We are exceedingly excited to bring one of my favorite stories of all time to our community, and having our youth get the opportunity to work with a professional flying company is thrilling for us,” said Switala.

The season also includes a free Sunday, Sept. 20, concert featuring The Soul Rebels, an eight-piece brass band from New Orleans that pushes the boundaries of jazz with a high-energy concert incorporating

Free tickets for the concert are available in person, beginning Tuesday, Sept. 8, at the ticket offices in Eisenhower, HUB-Robeson and the downtown theater, and on the day of the concert at Eisenhower.

“I am so excited about the coming season — the amazing artists, deeply engaging residencies on campus and in the community, and performances of works we’ve commissioned,” said Center for the Performing Arts director George Trudeau.

The perennial favorite “Chicago” returns to Penn State for two performances Monday and Tuesday, April 11 and 12. The Prohibition-era musical, based on journalist Maurine Dallas Watkins’ reportage about “celebrity criminals” of the 1920s, is a satire on corruption of the criminal jus-

When he performed at the 2006 Montreux Jazz Festival, Cuban-born pianist Alfredo Rodriguez gained an important fan. Producer Quincy Jones, who was in the audience, has mentored the pianist since then. On “The Invasion Parade,” the follow-up to his debut album “Sounds of Space,” Rodriguez delves into his memories of the people and the culture he left in Cuba when he moved to the United States in 2009. The track “Guantanamera” garnered Rodriguez, who fronts a trio in his Thursday, Sept. 24, Penn State premiere, a 2015 Grammy nomination for best instrumental arrangement.

The Wednesday, March 23, performance juxtaposes images with live and recorded hip-hop, electronic and minimalist music.

“I’m especially excited about DJ Spooky,” said Amy Dupain Vashaw, audience and program development director at the Center for the Performing Arts. “Not only will he be performing a concert, fea-

turing a graduate string quartet from the School of Music, but he will be the keynote speaker at Penn State Polar Day and host a variety of other programs related to his varied and incredible interests. These include African-American remix culture, using the music on your device and remixing it, DJ-style, for which he has created an app — and, of course, the real and urgent issue of climate change.”

FAMILY AND CHILDREN

High art intersects with low-brow musical culture in a Tuesday, Oct. 13, concert by the fun-loving Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. “The Ukes” perform an eclectic mix of songs for happy, stomping and laughing audiences around the world. “Pure entertainment,” “magisterial,” “the best musical entertainment in the country” and “a much-loved national institution” are some of the things audience members and reviewers have said in attempting to encapsulate the light-heartedness and joy that permeate the orchestra’s live concerts.

CONTEMPORARY CIRCUS

More than a dozen acrobats and a chamber ensemble celebrate the music of Shostakovich in Opus, a work of power, virtuosity and poetry performed Wednesday, Nov. 11, by Australia’s Circa and France’s Debussy String Quartet. Three of the composer’s quartets form the musical and dramatic spine for a fusion of extreme acrobatics, lyrical movement and group choreography. More than just a source of musical accompaniment, the Debussy ensemble performs from memory and is woven into the action.

“La Verita,” the latest creation by Daniele Finzi Pasca (Cirque Eloize’s “Rain” and Cirque du Soleil’s “Corteo”), is a theatrical homage to the life and work of surrealist painter Salvador Dali. The Thursday, April 21, performance includes a certified replica of a backdrop Dali painted in 1944

JULY 16-22, 2015 for the ballet “Tristan and Isolde” at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. “La Verita” features a versatile cast of 13 performers who play instruments, sing, juggle, contort, clown and dance the can-can.

Alumnus’ first novel includes ‘elderly’ character UNIVERSITY PARK — A Penn State alumnus who has crafted a lengthy resume and garnered deserved accolades as a screenwriter recently published his first book, “Old Man Johnson,” which features an “elderly” 23-year-old.

Andrew Kevin Walker, who earned his film-video degree in 1986, wrote “8 MM” and “Seven,” and crafted the screenplay for Tim Burton’s “Sleepy Hollow.” He also worked on the scripts for “The Game” and “Fight Club,” and has served as the screenwriter for the upcoming action/thriller “The Girl Who Played With Fire,” starring Daniel Craig.

Walker’s debut novel, set in Harrisburg, focuses on Abbie, a 20-something free spirit who is dreading her looming parent-mandated enrollment in graduate school.

When she makes a semi-annual pil-

grimage to visit her perfectly well meaning and perfectly boring grandfather, Abbie is roused out of her quarter-life crisis when she meets her grandfather’s persnickety, oddball friend, Johnson. With his cane and elderly clothing, he is the ANDREW KEVIN very picture of a bitter WALKER old man. The problem is, Johnson is 23 years old, and apparently completely delusional. Also a problem: Abbie is falling in love with him.

Walker’s novel is an off-kilter, comingof-age romantic comedy for both the old and young at heart.

When it comes to investing, don’t follow the herd RICHARD TETZLAFF

Richard Tetzlaff is associate vice president of investments for Wells Fargo Advisors in State College.

There’s a theory on Wall Street that goes something like this: If you follow the crowd and buy the hot investment of the day, chances are you’ll be scooping up shares when most others are about to sell. This natural “herd instinct” of buying when everyone is euphoric may mean you’ve entered the game too late and are buying at the wrong time.

Investors often jump in at the wrong time because they’re worried about what others are doing instead of focusing on good old-fashioned fundamentals such as a company’s earning potential and its management.

History continually shows us that when individuals choose investments without a prudent basis for doing so, they often wind up losing money that can take many years to recover. We saw this from 1998-2000, when inves-

tors drove the Nasdaq composite over 5,000 — only to see it fall to less than 2,000 over the following year.

History has also shown that when individuals avoid investments because the popular thinking is to steer clear of them, opportunities are often overlooked. We saw this in early 1982, when interest rates were high and companies had a difficult time impressing analysts with their earning potential. That period proved to be the beginning of a bull market that lasted more than 15 years.

In response to market downturns, some investors shift a greater percentage of their assets to liquid investments.

Time and again, this strategy has also proven to be a mistake.

Keep in mind that, over its history, the stock market has experienced nearly twice as many bullish periods as bearish periods. And while past performance is no guarantee of future investment results, the stock market has bounced back from every major market downturn to date.

When times get tough for stocks, we generally recommend that you maintain your confidence in their longterm growth potential and use these simple strategies: ■ Reduce your cost by averaging down.

Ability to communicate key to success In the movie “Tropic Thunder,” Robert Downey Jr. plays Kirk Lazurus, a five-time Academy Award-winning method actor who’s had “pigmentation augmentation” surgery to darken his skin for his role as an African-American.

Downey never breaks character, leading a cast member to question his authenticity. Lazurus defends himself, saying,“I know who I am! I’m the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude!”

Have you ever been “the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude” when communicating? Whether it’s addressing your team, working with peers or updating your boss, are you seen as believable or insincere?

Authentic or calculated?

The ability to communicate auDavid M. thentically is important to success as Mastovich is a leader, manager and team member. president of Authenticity inspires.

When our spoken message and body language don’t match up, the audience follows

DAVID M. MASTOVICH

the non-verbal message every time.

How and why does this mismatch occur?

Some people say, “I don’t want to look scripted so I’m going to wing it.” Then, their body language conveys discomfort and a lack of confidence. Others actually overprepare and come across as stilted, leaving the audience apathetic or uninspired.

Unfortunately, total spontaneity and traditional practice methods won’t produce authenticity. In both instances, our nonverbal conversation makes more of an impact than our spoken words. Practice these four steps to maintain authenticity: ■ Convey your big idea in terms your audience will appreciate. Your audience will think, “What’s in it for me?”

So, practice your answer.

■ Craft stories that create connections. Keep your audience’s attention and thoughts on you by relating stories to them.

■ Embrace your passion. Show your audience how deeply you feel about the subject. If you aren’t passionate about it, you can’t expect your audience to be.

■ Listen and adjust. Practice how you will assess the body language of members of your audience. Think of how you will adjust based on their responses, both nonverbal and verbal.

Preparation focused on them — your audience — leads to the authentic you.

Or, as Kirk Lazurus said, “I don’t read the script. The script reads me.”

If one of your stocks declines in value, but the underlying business still appears sound, consider buying more shares. You will reduce your overall cost basis; of course, you do increase your losses should the stock value continue to fall. A periodic investment plan such as dollar-cost averaging does not assure a profit or protect against a loss in declining markets.

■ Stay diversified.

Keep your assets spread among investments which have historically performed differently under the same market conditions. Profits from appreciated investments can help offset losses from any losing investments.

■ Stay focused on your long-term goal.

Don’t try to avoid the downturn by jumping out of the market. No one can accurately predict when it will rebound. Remembering why you invested in the first place will help you stay calm during times of market uncertainty.

Stocks offer long-term growth potential, but may fluctuate more and provide less current income than other investments. An investment in the stock market should be made with an understanding of the risks associated with common stocks, including market fluctuations.
