Fraser Centre construction beginsBy BRITTANY SVOBODA

[email protected]

STATE COLLEGE — After years of delays, work on the long-awaited Fraser Centre has begun. When finished, the mixed-use building will be the tallest in State College at 155 feet.

Preliminary construction at the site began Oct. 15, according to Gary Brandeis, president of Real Es-tate Capital Management. Infrastructure and foun-dation work is expected to be finished by next spring when construction on the main part of the building will begin.

“We’re thrilled to have this opportunity,” Brandeis said. “It’s been a long time coming for the borough and community.”

“The start of construction for this plan is exciting for downtown State College and the community,” said State College Borough manager Tom Foun-taine. “This project brings more diversity in retail and commercial options in downtown and it pro-vides even more reasons to come downtown. The project also provides additional residential diversity in the downtown.”

The mixed-use building was originally proposed by Susquehanna Real Estate in 2007. Real Estate Capital Management bought the land and took over

the project in October 2013. For the past year, Brandeis said he and his team

have been researching similar projects and work-ing to secure proper approvals from the borough to build.

“In the process of doing this project, we visited other college campuses,” he said. “A lot of the other schools that you would say are equivalent to Penn State in size and the type of campus they have, they have two or three Fraser Centres. I think that State College and Penn State, the student body and the folks that work on campus, are really going to ben-efit from this project.”

The current building plan is for 13 stories and a total of 155 feet. Real Estate Capital Management already has a contract with Hyatt Hotels and Resorts for 158 rooms. The mixed-use space will also feature 26 condominiums and retail space.

The brand new, modern building will be energy efficient and sleek, with a mostly glass exterior.

“A property like this doesn’t exist in downtown State College,” Brandeis said. “It’s a game-changer.”

While building student housing was not an option due to zoning restrictions, Brandeis said his company was incentivized by the borough to

Penn State recycling effort gains national attention

By CHRIS [email protected]

UNIVERSITY PARK — When it comes to recycling, Penn State is one of the best.

The National Recycling Coalition re-cently presented Penn State with its 2014 Outstanding Higher Education Award as one of the “Best of the Best.” The uni-versity was specifically recognized for its “exceptional program in recycling” and for “connecting higher education and in-dustry.”

Al Matyasovsky is the program man-ager of Central Support Services at Penn State.

“We were recognized for program ex-cellence and we always felt that we had a good program,” Matyasovsky said. “There are other good programs out there. We pride ourselves on being competitive with other institutions similar to Penn State.”

Penn State competed with more than 70 other universities for the award.

UNIVERSITY PARK — With Election Day approaching, 5th Congressional Dis-trict Republican incumbent Rep. Glen Thompson and Democratic challenger Kerith Strano Taylor met on Oct. 27 to debate issue positions at WPSU Studios.

More than 100 community members attended the event, which was facilitated by Patty Satalia.

The debate was also televised and broadcast on radio.

The candidates answered questions

submitted from the audience and com-munity, as well as a question from each other.

While Thompson and Strano Taylor agreed that both parties need to work to-gether to pass the right legislation and that climate change is an issue, the candidates disagreed on job creation and unemploy-ment, increasing minimum wage and

Street fi ght lands one in hospitalBy STEVE BAUER

StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — A fi ght in the mid-dle of a downtown State College street sent one man to the hospital.

Police are calling this an assault inves-tigation and are asking witnesses to come forward with information.

The incident happened on Oct. 26, just after 3 a.m.

According to a news release from the State College Police Department, two men got into a fi ght in the middle of South Gar-ner Street, near East Calder Way.

Offi cers called to the scene found a man bleeding from his face. He was taken to the Mount Nittany Medical Center for treat-ment of what are described as facial frac-tures.

Investigators say as the two men were fi ghting, a third man walked up behind

the victim and punched him in the face, knocking him unconscious.

There’s no word on the injured man’s condition.

The man involved in the initial fi ght ran away before police arrived.

According to police, witnesses de-scribed the third man involved in the incident as white with a red beard and glasses.

He was dressed in a dark blue shirt and blue jeans and was wearing a black base-ball cap backward on his head, police said.

He reportedly jumped into the pass-enger seat of a black Ford F-150 pickup truck that was parked in front of the Chi-potle restaurant, a block away on Hiester Street.

The truck was last seen heading west on East College Avenue.

Anyone with information should call State College Police at (814) 234-7150.

PSU trustees votes against reopening Freeh ReportBy MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT

StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The Penn State board of trustees voted on Oct. 28 not to re-examine the controversial Freeh report, but the decision was far from unanimous or civil.

The back-and-forth between trustees grew loud and heated, while several au-dience members were escorted out after interrupting the debate by screaming at the board.

One woman, who identified herself as alumna and donor Denise Mclellan, called board chairman Keith Masser a “jackass” and proclaimed she was “proud to be kicked out.”

Trustee Al Lord originally brought a resolution to the board in July, proposing to create a four-member subcommittee that would examine the Freeh report, meet with investigator Louis Freeh and report back to the board.

This proposal came back again in Sep-tember and again Tuesday morning, at which point it was ultimately defeated, 17-9. The alumni-elected trustees — in-cluding Lord, Anthony Lubrano, Alice Pope and William Oldsey — voted for Lord’s resolution.

The remaining trustees — including representatives from various industries

and those appointed by the governor — made up the majority of the vote that de-feated the resolution.

The Freeh report was commissioned by Penn State after the Jerry Sandusky scan-dal broke in 2011.

Completed by investigator Louis Freeh, the report criticizes Penn State’s leader-ship for having “repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky’s child abuse from the authorities, the Board of Trustees, Penn State community, and the public at large.”

In the defeated resolution, Lord argued that “certain conclusions of the Freeh Report have damaged the reputations of Penn State, certain of its former officials, and its Board of Trustees.”

Alumni-elected trustee Robert Jubelirer grew very passionate while attempting to convince the board to reopen the Freeh Report.

“We have sat by and watched ourselves be belittled, be libeled,” Jubelirer said. “I have been asked ‘How come you guys didn’t know that Joe Paterno was a pedo-phile for all that time?’ It’s sick and dis-gusting that that’s how many people in the public at large view us.”

He demanded for Freeh himself to ap-pear before the board and explain himself and his report, prompting applause from the audience.

Agricultural-representative trustee Keith Eckel argued that reopening the Freeh report would only serve to dredge up the past and keep the trustees from ad-dressing other issues.

He urged the board to vote against the resolution to keep the university moving forward.

The Penn State University Park Under-graduate Association has expressed similar concerns about moving forward as a uni-versity. The UPUA voted earlier this month to oppose an attempt to reinvestigate the Freeh report.

Trustee member Richard Dandrea pointed out that many of the documents that would be needed for a full and thor-ough examination of the report are also related to several ongoing criminal cases and civil lawsuits that came out of the Sandusky scandal. Since the board lacks subpoena power, they would be unable to obtain these documents.

Alumni-elected trustee William Oldsey responded that Freeh had many of the same problems in his investigation, lead-ing to what he called an “incomplete” re-port. He asked why the board would ac-cept the Freeh report as valid if the investi-gation was not thorough.

“If you feel at all compromised by the various things going in the legal world, and you’re on this board and concerned that

you can’t do the right thing … I would sug-gest to you that you resign,” Lubrano said.

The board did pass a separate resolu-tion proposed by trustee Kathleen Casey to actively monitor the various court pro-ceedings that came out the Sandusky scan-dal. Lord questioned whether a resolution was necessary, since the board is already closely following these cases.

Former Penn State administrators Gra-ham Spanier, Gary Schultz and Tim Cur-ley are awaiting criminal trials in Dauphin County court for allegedly covering up the Sandusky scandal.

Former university president Spanier has also filed a lawsuit against Freeh for alleged defamation.

Former Penn State assistant coaches Jay Paterno and William Kenney have sued the NCAA for alleged conspiracy and defa-mation. The NCAA used the Freeh report as the basis for the sanctions it imposed on Penn State in the wake of the Sandusky scandal, including a $60 million fine.

The NCAA is also engaged in two dif-ferent lawsuits with various Pennsylvania elected officials over where the $60 million fine against Penn State should be spent.

Casey resolution to monitor these cases passed 17-8 in an almost perfect reversal of the vote that defeated Lord’s proposal. Alumni-elected trustee Adam Taliaferro abstained from this vote.

BELLEFONTE — An area organization dedicated to assisting Centre County vet-erans with financial needs has set out to raise more awareness and funds for its cause.

The Veterans Assistance Fund has been providing area veterans and their wid-ows with financial help since the spring of 2011, according to Potters Mills VFW member and fund treasurer Walter Mayes.

Along with Centre County Veterans’ Affairs director Brian Querry, Mayes dis-cussed the VAF with the Centre County board of commissioners on Oct. 28.

“We would like to have more members to get a little better coverage in Centre County,” he said, adding that the organi-zation’s governing committee is entirely made up of volunteers.

Since October 2011, the VAF has helped about 60 veterans and given out approxi-mately $55,000, Mayes said. Major issues plaguing area veterans include living on a fixed income and not having enough money for housing expenses, such as rent, fuel and utilities.

Querry said that the VAF has been a “tremendous help” for when he has a vet-eran in need of services or funds. Since most area veterans go through him for as-sistance, he said it also gives him the op-portunity to look into other things veterans might qualify for, such as better housing or health care.

“We really look at this as not necessar-ily a one-time deal, but perhaps a bridge

to improving their quality of life,” Querry said.

Due to having only volunteers, Mayes said administrative costs are low, at about 4 percent. Part of those administrative costs went toward establishing the organi-zation as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Since that has been set up, administrative costs going forward will be about 1.5 to 2 percent, ac-cording to Mayes.

To help raise money for the VAF, a 5K race will take place at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 2, at the Bellefonte Middle School. Those interested can sign-up on race day. All proceeds from the race will go toward to fund.

The commissioners also approved a lease agreement between the county and New Cingular Wireless, a subsidiary of AT&T, which will allow the company to place equipment on the county’s 911 tower and in the shelter in Woodward.

The agreement is for an initial period of five years in which New Cingular Wire-less will pay the county a rental fee of $2,600 per month, according to Gene Lauri of the county’s Criminal Justice Planning Department. After that, the contract will renew for four additional five-year terms with a 10 percent rent increase each term. The contract has been in negotiations for about two years, Lauri said.

The tower in Woodward was recently built when the county switched to a new 911 digital operating system and cost about $400,000, according to commission-er Steve Dershem. This will be the third contract the county has with other compa-nies using this tower, Lauri said.



STATE COLLEGE — It’s that time of year again.On Tuesday, Nov. 4, Centre County residents will head

to the polls for Election Day 2014. There are some interest-ing races not only in Centre County, but throughout the commonwealth.

The biggest race, of course, is for governor. Republican

Tom Corbett is facing an uphill battle to win a second term, as Democratic challenger Tom Wolf has mounted an effective campaign.

According to a recent Franklin and Marshall College poll, only 17 percent of voters believe Corbett is doing an “excellent” or “good” job.

About 20 percent believe that he deserves to be re-elected, while 62 percent say the state is “off on the wrong track.”

The poll numbers suggest that Wolf has the edge.According to RealClearPolitics.com, Wolf has a sizable

lead on Corbett. The RealClearPolitics average of the pub-lic polling in the race puts the Democrat’s advantage at 11 percentage points.

Over the past several days, however, a pair of surveys show Corbett trailing by only single digits.

A New York Times/CBS News/YouGov survey has Cor-bett trailing by 9 percentage points — 49 to 40. In a Magel-lan poll, which is sponsored by the conservative website Keystone Report, Wolf has a slimmer edge — 49 percent to 42 percent.

In the race for lieutenant governor, incumbent Repub-lican Jim Cawley will face Democratic challenger Mike Stack.

In the race for the District 5 seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, incumbent Republican Glenn “G.T.” Thompson will face Democratic challenger Kerith Strano Taylor. The two have faced off in a series of debates during the past couple of weeks.

Several candidates will face no challenger in their bids for re-election.

In the state Senate, Republican Jake Corman is unop-posed in District 34.

In the state House of Representatives, Democrat Mike Hanna is unopposed in District 76. In District 171, Repub-lican Kerry Benninghoff is also running unopposed.

There are a couple of contested races, however.In District 77, incumbent Democrat H. Scott Conklin

faces a challenge from Libertarian Charles Martin, and in District 81, Democrat incumbent Mike Fleck will face Re-publican challenger Rich Irvin.

Polls will be open in Centre County from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. on Tuesday.

BOALSBURG — The Penn State football team will be on the road for the Nov. 8 contest with Indiana.

If you’re looking for a place to watch the game and to help a good cause, you’ve found it.

When the game kicks off at noon in Bloomington, Ind., the ninth annual Bob Perks Fund Tailgate Party will be held at the Mountain View Country Club in Boalsburg.

It’s the signature fundraising event for the nonprofi t.“We always do this during a Penn State away game,”

explained Bob Perks Cancer Assistance Fund executive director Norma Keller. “It’s just a great event. We’ll have lots of great food and drink and plenty of big screen TVs to watch the game.”

The event will begin exactly one hour before kickoff at 11 a.m.

During his life, Bob Perks’ goal was to bring cancer sup-

port to area communities. As a State College native, Penn State alum and founding member of Coaches vs. Cancer, Perks was devoted to helping cancer patients in Centre County and the surrounding areas. His devotion never faltered, even throughout his own battle with the deadly disease.

Following Perks’ death in 2005, his wife, Doreen, estab-lished the Bob Perks Cancer Assistance Fund as a way to help fulfi ll her late husband’s wishes.

The nonprofi t provides fi nancial support for basic ne-cessities to local individuals and families dealing with a cancer diagnosis.

To help raise funding for the organization, Doreen Perks said she wanted to hold an event that was unique and fun and refl ected Bob and his passion for Penn State football.

“It’s really the fi rst event we ever did,” Perks said. “It’s really our signature event. It’s our biggest fundraising event. The way we came up with it was pretty simple — Bob was such a big Penn State football fan. It’s personal, it’s fi nancial … for all those reasons, it’s truly our biggest day of the year.”

The Bob Perks Cancer Assistance Fund aids families in Centre, Blair, Clearfi eld and Huntingdon counties.

Tickets for the event are $85 in advance and $90 at the door.

There will be plenty of upscale tailgating food, all sup-plied by the Ramada Inn.

“It’s not your typical tailgate food,” Keller said. “I think the food is going to be absolutely amazing.”

In addition to the food and drink, there’s also a Chinese auction and a silent auction.

Last year’s event raised nearly $31,000. Keller hopes that this year’s numbers are even better. The more money raised, she said, the more families that are helped.

“We would like to raise $40,000 … that’s the goal,”

Keller said. “We are serving more and more referrals, and that’s really signifi cant. Last year, we distributed $175,000 to cancer patients in four counties. This year, we anticipate that it will be $200,000.”

Perks is excited for the event. She’s hoping big numbers across the board.

“This is an open event,” she said. “If you like Penn State football, come up. We welcome everybody who wants to help a good cause and watch Penn State football. Don’t be afraid to show up, spend the day with us and support a re-ally wonderful cause.”

“What the borough did is provide the right incentives … to do something other than student housing,” he said.

A Penn State graduate, Brandeis said that for him and other alumni working on the project it’s “like coming home.”

“It’s not just another deal for us,” he said. “Not only do we want it to be successful, but we want it to be the right development for the community as well.”

Pending weather and other unforeseeable setbacks, Brandeis said the building should be fi nished with retail and the hotel set to open during the fall semester of 2016.

whether or not a travel ban for those coming from Ebola-stricken countries in West Africa would be effective.

Thompson said that during his four terms in Congress, he has already worked hard to create jobs in the state, especially in Pennsylvania’s number one industry, agri-culture. Strano Taylor said that in the district many suffer from underemployment, not unemployment.

“We have a lot of people working part-time jobs to try to make ends meet and yet we still have 115,000 people falling below the poverty line,” she said, adding that Penn-sylvania ranks 50th in the nation in job creation.

While discussing a possible federal minimum wage in-crease, Thompson said that Americans need a “practical solution” and that he supports an increase if it would truly life people to “greater opportunity.” Job training, he said, should be what people strive for in order to get better jobs and support their families.

Strano Taylor said that the federal minimum wage should be increased because job training is not an option for everyone, like single mothers who can’t afford daycare at night to get training. Raising the minimum wage, she said, will act as an economic driver “because when people have money in their pockets, they spend it.”

Thompson said that the Ebola crisis is “paramount,” and that anyone coming into the United States from West Africa as a point of origin should be held for 24 days for monitoring. Strano Taylor said she did not support a travel ban because doing so would promote people coming to the country through “porous borders,” which would leave them unaccounted for.

The candidates, who are both Penn State alumni, also discussed higher education and student loan debt.

Thompson said that he has worked to reform the stu-dent loan system and ensure that those taking out loans for higher education fully understand the decisions they’re making.

Strano Taylor said that loans taken out today have re-fi nance options, but older loans don’t have that oppor-tunity, especially since most loan debt has already been bundled and traded on Wall Street.

First Friday celebrations draw community downtown


STATE COLLEGE — From entertainment to merchant specials, downtown State College’s monthly First Friday celebration has a little something to offer everyone.

November’s event will take place from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 7. Festivities include art galleries and exhibi-tions, street entertainment, merchant discounts and ex-tended hours.

The downtown tree lighting to kick off the holiday sea-son will take place from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Allen Street and College Avenue.

First Friday was resurrected and re-launched in June at the request of downtown business owners, according to Downtown State College Improvement District executive director George Arnold.

The monthly celebration has been well received, he said, and has created “a fun environment downtown.”

“It helps bring the community together,” Arnold said. “People can come downtown, enjoy music, art (and more).”

“First Friday provides a great opportunity to visit down-town and experience the many unique shops, as well as the entertainment and other interesting activity in downtown

State College,” said State College Borough manager Tom Fountaine. “(It) has proven to be very popular.”

Douglas Albert, owner of Douglas Albert Gallery, said that First Friday is meant to encourage people to go down-town and visit businesses they’ve never been to. “It’s been pretty successful,” he said.

During First Friday hours, Albert said he’ll offer specials that he can’t typically do on normal business days.

“Some merchants offer light refreshments and go above and beyond what they normally do,” he said.

In the future, Albert said he’d like to get more busi-nesses in sync and on board for the event and attending the weekly planning meetings.

“We want to encourage people to come downtown and show their support (for local businesses),” he said.

Katie Dawes, owner of Kitchen Kaboodle, said that the event has been “picking up momentum” and foot traffi c into her store has increased because of it.

“We always love to see more locals downtown,” she said. “It’s a great time for people to get out and see what (stores) have to offer. And it’s a chance for businesses to open their doors.”

Recycling, from page 1

According to Matyasovsky, the award not only recognized the diversity of items collected, but the fact that Penn State is partnering with industry.

The award is significant because it shows how far Penn State has come in terms of recycling. Just 25 years ago, the university recycled less than a ton of its waste.

On campus now, students, faculty, staff and visitors divert more than 100 types and almost 10,000 tons of waste from landfills. Those numbers are staggering, but they don’t tell the whole story. That’s just at University Park. Penn State’s branch cam-puses also contribute to the university’s recycling effort.

The fact of the matter is that Penn State tries to recycle everything — from bottles and cans to newspapers and cardboard. In fact, Matyasovsky said there’s little that doesn’t get recycled. Take a stroll through campus. There are bins for everything, he said.

“That is the case,” Matyasovsky said. “When we set the program up, we picked the things that were obvious, low-hang-ing fruit … aluminum cans, newspapers and such. We’ve gone from those very few things. Today, we recycle 105 things on campus.”

According to Matyasovsky, that sounds a lot easier than it actually is.

“We had to have a lot more bins and we had to find out about markets — where was this stuff going to go? By working with the Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority and with our partners in the in-dustry, we’ve been able to find places for some of these hard-to-recycle things to go,” he explained.

Some of the challenging items include used motor oil and broken and damaged furniture. Penn State has also found a use for the miscellaneous plastics — things like yogurt cups and plasticware.

Of course, a big part of Penn State’s re-cycling effort takes place on football Satur-days at Beaver Stadium.

Whether it’s aluminum cans outside the stadium or plastic bottles inside the sta-dium, game days are a huge part of the recycling process.

Just a couple of seasons ago, Penn State was placed in the top 10 for the efforts on football Saturdays.

“We’re just communicating a desire to recycle and we’re getting support from the all the entities involved. We have athletics involved, the people in concessions, there are people in parking involved. We are vis-ible inside the venue when you come to a football game,” Matyasovsky said.

More than ever before, fans at the sta-dium can find blue recycling bins both in-side and outside the stadium. The parking areas are filled with free blue plastic bags, which make it extremely convenient for those who tailgate to be part of the recy-cling effort.

“It’s not about recycling, there’s a foot-ball game going on,” Matyasovsky said. “We want to make it easy and convenient. We had the blue bins for awhile, but we were getting litter. We made the bin go to the tailgate in the form of a bag.”

The name of the program is mobius (with a lowercase “m”), which is named for the infamous (and infinite) Mobius loop.

“It’s the name of our entire waste man-agement program,” Matyasovsky said. “It’s special events, it’s composting, it’s recy-cling, it’s reuse … anything where we man-age waste is under the umbrella of mobius. It’s extremely effective. We’re getting a very good response.”

Penn State averages more than 5,000 recycling bags per game.

The goal, of course, is to have the area surrounding Beaver Stadium looking pris-tine by Monday morning.

“That is our intent. We have some very hard-working folks who do a great job on Sunday to get it all cleaned up,” Matyaso-vsky said.

The blue bags are effective. According to Matyasovsky, when Penn State played Ohio State in a night game in 2012, it took five days for staff to gather recyclables and trash from Beaver Stadium parking lots.

This year, it took just a day.There are many different layers to Penn

State’s recycling effort. One of the biggest events of the year, of course, is the Trash to Treasure sale. Discarded items that Penn State students leave behind are gathered and sold to the public.

There are plenty of bargains, of course.

And while treasure hunters are helping themselves to the loot, they are also help-ing to keep unwanted items out of the landfill.

Trash to Treasure is entering its 14th year. Before the sale began, all the unwant-ed items left campus in a dumpster.

“Our program back then was really just staging 17 large roll-offs in the various resi-dence hall complexes. (Students) would throw stuff in it and we’d take it to the landfill. I wanted to see us do a better job there, and we came up with the idea of sell-ing the stuff,” Matyasovsky said.

The rest, as they say, history.In 13 years, the Trash to Treasure pro-

gram has raised $661,000 for the United

Way. It also keeps 65 tons of trash from going to the landfill each year.

“The program is popular for the right reasons,” Matyasovsky said. “It’s really a win-win.”

According to Matyasovsky, Penn State’s award-winning recycling program would not be possible without the backing of the students, faculty and staff, as well as those who visit campus each and every year.

“I’d like to offer a sincere, heart-felt thank you for supporting our programs,” he said. “It does take time, it does take ef-fort, but everyone makes an effort to pitch it in. That’s the difference in our program. People on this campus want to do the right thing and they do it every single day.”

DO I NEED WINTER TIRES ?

WON’T ALL-SEASON TIRES WORK JUST FINE?By design all-season tires are a compromise. That compromised goal prevents them from being a master of any one. Winter tires are specifically designed to excel in the water, snow and ice and that is what they do.

I’VE GOT 4 WHEEL DRIVE, I CAN GO ANYWHERE!

4WD and All-Wheel drive vehicles do help you get going, but they are also heavier therefore

have longer stopping distances. Winter tires are superior to all-terrain tires when

stopping and turning in winter driving conditions.

MY OWNER’S MANUAL SAYS THAT I SHOULD PUT WINTER TIRES ON ALL FOUR WHEELS

The tires on 4WD and All-Wheel drive vehicles should always be the same. Mixing tires on any vehicle will create a

dissimilarity in the braking and traction that may lead to handling problems or a loss of control. One end of the vehicle

may perform very well and go, turn or stop when you want it to, but the other end may not. By installing four winter tires you will

undoubtedly maximize your traction and handling this winter.

The Bob Perks Cancer Assistance Fund expresses great thanks to Ken and Dana Tressler and Brandon Snyder for their fantastic Sept. 13 pig roast, which raised $3,404 to help local families that struggle to pay for basic expenses while they battle cancer. The second annual pig roast was held in memory of Ken’s father, B. J. Croyle, who passed away last fall.

More than 125 family, friends and community mem-bers gathered together at Ken’s woodland property in Snow Shoe and enjoyed great food, great company and the fantastic music of the Rock Fathers. Ken hand-stitched an amazing quilt to raffl e off; Dana Tressler, Sara Haines and Molly Detweller of Our Hair Place in Bellefonte donated their earning and tips for the week before the event; Barry Kellerman of Truck Stuff & More of Milesburg donated dol-lars and sold quilt chances; and band members donated their music and all of tips to help local families battling cancer. We thank Ken and all of his supporters for making this such a successful event.

Kudos to Russell Frank for his column “You Got to Carry That Weight” (Centre County Gazette, Oct. 23-29).

In my opinion, he hit the nail on the head.Why are we so concerned with the alleged perpetrator

rather than the victims?Healing for the victims may take a life time, and we

need to support them in every way possible. Christine Walters

Welcome to Alt-State CollegeWhen the out-of-town reporters

streamed in three years ago to cover the Sandusky case they fed the facts — sordid crimes committed in a place that calls itself Happy Valley! — into their story-processing machines and out came the most glorious drivel.

How, the scribes asked, could such a “bucolic” or “idyllic” place (take your pick), “nestled” as it is in the mountains of Central Pennsylvania, be the scene of such foul deeds?

Here was my favorite scene-setter, published in the Philadelphia Inquirer, which ought to have known better:

“The streets of State Col-lege are pristine, and the air there feels as if it has gone through some kind of natural fi lter ... On a clear day, a sun-splashed day, with the Nit-tany Mountains on the hori-zon, the place seems as if it’s been touched by the hand of God ... Open your window in State College, you hear only the sweet sounds — sparrow tweets and cricket chirps.”

Pristine streets, eh? Maybe the red maple leaves that still lay on the ground in early November camoufl aged the red plastic beer cups.

Clear day? Yeah, we have some, but this is the cloudi-est place I’ve ever lived.

Nittany Mountains? Uh, no such range.

Sweet sounds? The Woo people must have been sleeping.

OK, so that’s how the city slick-ers see us. Sounds like they ought to get out of town more often. What’s surprising is the extent to which we, who live here, buy into the Happy Valley image, including those of us

who want no part of it.Consider my composite friend,

Professor Prig. Prig was destined for great things. He had to pay his dues, of course, so he accepted a position at this remote outpost of higher ed-ucation, fully expecting his brilliant scholarly output to attract the atten-tion of urban schools in New York, Boston or Philadelphia, much as a baseball phenom expects a quick call-up to the major leagues after a

dazzling stint in the minors.In the meantime, he be-

moans the paucity of de-cent restaurants and movie offerings and sneers at the lowbrow enthusiasms of the sports-crazed rabble. Oh, he’s been to a tailgate, a football game, a Home-coming Parade, a Dance Marathon a time or two (he thought of it as research). But a little of that sort of thing goes a long way, don’t you know?

With every passing year, Prig worries that his stint in the hinterlands is becom-ing a permanent banish-ment from the world’s hip-pest places. If only, he says. If only there were more bookstores here, more cof-feehouses, more jazz clubs, more galleries, more ethnic restaurants, fewer pizza joints, fewer T-shirt shops, fewer student hangouts, fewer drunks.

The good professor doesn’t dislike Happy Val-

ley. Far from it. He likes it as a low-overhead base of operations that enables him to travel more than he could if he were living in the big city. But the idea is to get out of here as often as possible for as long as pos-

sible (thank heavens for academic conferences).

Were Prig to stick around a little he might see that there’s more here than meets the eye. Call it Alt-State College. It’s not any particular group of people, but a dimension of mind, like the Twilight Zone. Alt-State Col-lege is the sum of all the little sub-cultures that co-exist alongside the town’s high-profi le sports and drink-ing culture.

It’s the folkies you see at the Acoustic Brew concerts; the fi lm and drama buffs you see at the State The-atre, the Downtown Theatre Centre and on campus; and the literature lovers you see at readings at Web-ster’s and on campus.

Alt-State College is the hikers you meet in the Rothrock State Forest, the cyclists active in the Centre Region Bike Coalition and the farmers and locavores involved in Community Supported Agriculture.

Increasingly, Alt-State College is the international students and faculty members and their families whose presence gives the lie to those por-trayals of Happy Valley as an insular or provincial backwater.

The above groups are a top-of-the-head list. I’m sure there are many I don’t even know about. Also, there are no boundaries separating the domi-nant culture from the sub-cultures. Plenty of poetry lovers, for example, also happen to be football lovers.

But some of these little groups — and the venues where they gather — could use Prig’s help. They need his dollars, but more than that, they need his energy.

Face it, Professor. You live here. So be here. This is a more interest-ing (and less idyllic) place than those out-of-town reporters gave it credit for being. It can be more interesting still.

The last straw for big soda?By The Orange County Register

(McClatchy-Tribune News Service)

It’s a match made in nanny-state heaven. Having failed to ban Big Gulps in New York City, former Big Apple mayor Michael Bloomberg has dumped $85,000 into the campaign in San Francisco to pass Measure E — a 2-cent tax on all “sugary drinks.”

That’s a red alert for the nation’s big soda makers, who are already reeling from consumers’ changing tastes. In a world where new super-charged energy drinks hit the mar-ket every few months, old stalwarts like Coke and Pepsi have wound up seeming not just boring, but rela-tively useless. Who wants mere re-freshment? Kids these days want to get amped up. Even if the soda com-panies’ competitors are also affected, a punitive tax on sodas is more than they can stand.

So the American Beverage Associ-ation is outspending Bloomberg and company by a factor of 10. Neverthe-less, they face an uphill battle. And the reason why ought to give Califor-nians a reason to rethink taxes like Measure E.

San Francisco, of course, is no

ordinary city. It’s fi lled with ideo-logical activists and lifestyle liberals who want to do what they can to re-shape society to their liking. But that instinct is as old as humanity itself. There’s something reasonable about it, too, up to a point. Nobody has a human right to drink Coca-Cola at a certain price.

On the other hand, nobody has a right to force others to pay more for a product they don’t like. That’s why taxes like those hiked by Measure E fall into a problematic gray area. Even though they’re meddlesome and ma-nipulative, they don’t fall into the cat-egory of rights talk.

Here’s the thing, though: Even more important than who’s offended by the taxes is how and why the taxes would be applied.

Measure E doesn’t just levy a 2-cent surcharge on sugary drinks. It spends the money raked in by the tax on nutrition and physical education programs for kids.

For many San Franciscans, that’s an even better reason to vote Yes on the measure Nov. 4. Think carefully, however, and you’ll see that the con-cept of taxation behind Measure E is a pernicious one, even if the results it

promises could be benefi cial to some. The fair purpose of taxation is to raise revenue, period — not to punish some behavior and reward others.

America has drifted far from this gold standard of fairness.

Think of the mortgage interest tax deduction, which encourages peo-ple to buy homes by handing them a massive write-off that renters just can’t get.

But the logic of Measure E goes far beyond that. Studies suggest that the tax alone would slash soda consump-tion by a third. The programs the tax receipts would fund are clearly de-signed to push future consumption down even further. Measure E isn’t a simple “sin tax,” where govern-ment cashes in on people’s appetite for pleasure so it can pay for pre-ex-isting expenses everyone shares. It’s designed to do to the soda industry what President Obama wants to do to ISIS: “degrade and eventually de-stroy” it.

That doesn’t make Measure E unconstitutional all by itself. But it should be a warning to us all. Today it’s soda. What products will it be to-morrow? The logic behind Measure E knows no bounds.

Screenings fail to identify teens at risk for hearing lossHERSHEY — Subjective screening questions do not reli-

ably identify teenagers who are at risk for hearing loss, ac-cording to researchers at Penn State College of Medicine.

The results suggest that objective hearing tests should be refi ned for this age group to replace screening ques-tions.

The American Academy of Pediatrics, in partnership with the Bright Futures children’s health organization, sets standards for pediatric preventive care.

The AAP recommends screening adolescents with sub-jective questions and then following up with objective hearing tests for those found to be at high risk of hearing loss.

However, the screening questions were not specifi cally developed for children or adolescents. Studies also show that adolescents are poor self-reporters of hearing status.

“We found that you can’t rely on the Bright Futures questions to select out teenagers at high risk for hearing loss who would warrant an objective screen,” said Dr. Deepa Sekhar, assistant professor of pediatrics.

A study in 2010 using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey showed that one in fi ve adolescents aged 12 to 19 has hearing loss. Most have high-frequency hearing loss, which may be related to increasing hazardous noise exposures from such things as personal listening devices, concert-going, ATV-riding and hunting with fi rearms.

For the study, 11th-grade students at Hershey High School — located in the college’s community — answered the 10 Bright Futures hearing screening questions and additional questions assessing other potential risk factors for adolescent hearing loss. They also took the Pennsyl-vania state-mandated hearing test — the familiar hearing

screening where children raise their hand when they hear a tone — and a hearing test developed by the researchers to better detect high-frequency noise-related hearing loss. Some of the children underwent additional standard hear-ing testing in a soundproof booth. The researchers report their results in the Journal of Medical Screening.

Neither the Bright Futures questions nor the additional questions were associated with adolescent hearing loss. In addition, the Pennsylvania school hearing test was found to have a sensitivity of 13 percent for adolescent hearing loss while the study-designed hearing test had 100 percent sensitivity.

“Although our test had more false positives, we caught 100 percent of the students with hearing loss,” Sekhar said.

School hearing tests currently used in most states screen mainly for low-frequency hearing loss, which is seen more often in younger children in association with frequent ear infections and fl uid in the ear. Sekhar’s previous research showed that these tests often miss high-frequency hear-ing loss. She is working to develop an objective hearing screening test custom-designed for adolescents with more high-frequency tones above 3,000 hertz. These tones are typically affected by hazardous noise exposure. A testing protocol that requires adolescents to fail twice instead of once will reduce false positives.

“The onset of high-frequency hearing loss is often very insidious and the symptoms are often very subtle,” Sekhar said. “It’s important to identify hearing problems at any age because of the impact it can have on all different areas of life, including academic success, workplace advance-ment and social relationships.”

Keystone ACO report shows quality, efficiency for patientsDANVILLE — The Centers for Medicare

and Medicaid Services has issued quality and financial performance results showing that Medicare Accountable Care Organi-zations have improved patient care and produced hundreds of millions of dollars in savings for the program.

The Keystone ACO generated $1.3 mil-lion in savings, but its assigned beneficiary expenditures were greater than the updat-ed benchmark. This means Keystone did not earn a performance payment, but does not owe CMS losses.

Keystone ACO is made up of the Evan-gelical Community Hospital, Lewisburg; Geisinger Medical Center, Danville; Geis-inger-Wyoming Valley Medical Center, Wilkes-Barre; Geisinger-Community Med-ical Center, Scranton; Geisinger-Blooms-burg Hospital, Bloomsburg; and Wayne

Memorial Hospital, Honesdale. “The Keystone ACO is making great

progress, probably ahead of schedule of where we thought we would be. And most importantly, we have been able to demon-strate significant improvement in quality measures,” said Dr. Thomas Graf, CEO of Keystone ACO. “The fact that we pulled together six hospitals and four physician groups and achieved $1.3 million in sav-ings in our first year — that’s terrific.

“We are delivering the triple aim of im-proved patient experience and quality, im-proved health outcomes for our patient population and reduction in the burden of high cost.”

One aim of the Affordable Care Act is to encourage doctors, hospitals and other health care providers to better coordinate patient care by keeping the population

healthy rather than solely treating patients when they are sick, a practice that also re-duces costs.

ACOs are one example of that attempt in which providers that join ACOs become eligible for shared Medicare savings when they deliver more efficient and better qual-ity care.

ACOs in the Medicare Shared Savings Program and Pioneer ACO Model generat-ed more than $372 million in total program savings for Medicare ACOs, according to preliminary quality and financial results from the second year of performance for 23 Pioneer ACOs, and final results from the first year of performance for 220 Shared Savings Program ACOs.

Meanwhile, the ACOs outperformed published benchmarks for quality and pa-tient experience last year and improved

significantly on almost all measures of quality and patient experience this year.

“We all have a stake in improving the quality of care we receive, while spend-ing our dollars more wisely,” Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia M. Bur-well said. “It’s good for businesses, for our middle class, and for our country’s global competitiveness. That’s why, at HHS, we are committed to partnering across sectors to make progress.”

Since passage of the Affordable Care Act, more than 360 Medicare ACOs have been established in 47 states, serving more than 5.6 million Americans with Medicare. Medicare ACOs are groups of providers and suppliers of services working together to coordinate care for the Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries they serve and achieve program goals.

Kuhlman joins physician groupSTATE COLLEGE — Mount Nittany

Health recently announced the addition of Lashelle Kuhlman, a licensed aesthetician, to Mount Nittany Physician Group Recon-structive and Cosmetic Surgery.

“I decided to be an aesthetician be-cause I have always had a passion for skin care and the beauty industry,” Kuhlman said. “I love working with people and mak-ing them feel good about themselves. It’s a rewarding profession, and with advance-ments in skin care, there’s much to be learned.”

Kuhlman received a Bachelor of Science in applied health studies from the Pennsyl-vania College of Technology and an aes-thetician program diploma from Altoona Beauty School.

Previously an aesthetician at The Spa at Kenlee, Kuhlman will offer aesthetic ser-vices for advanced facial skin care such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion, as

well as waxing, make-up artistry and more.

“Mount Nittany Physician Group is known for providing outstanding patient and employee care, and I am very excited to be working along-side board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Emily Peterson to offer products and procedures to help

people feel their best,” Kuhlman said.Mount Nittany Physician Group Recon-

structive and Cosmetic Surgery is locat-ed at 100 Radnor Road, Suite 101, Lower Level, State College.

Juniper Village at Brookline participates in benchmark study

STATE COLLEGE — Juniper Village at Brookline is continuing its participation in a major study on dementia and delirium out of the College of Nursing at Penn State University. The study is called Reserve for Delirium Superimposed on Dementia, and Brookline has been an active participant in the study since its inception in 2010. This September, a presentation was made at Juniper covering the research results to date on the general evaluation and man-agement of delirium.

The purpose of the study is to test the efficacy of cognitive stimulation for re-solving delirium in persons with demen-tia subsequent to a hospitalization. The research is testing a non-pharmacological intervention for delirium in the form of recreational activities. The ongoing, five-year clinical trial will conclude in 2015. Dr. Ann Kolanowski and Dr. Donna Fick re-ceived a grant of more than $2.4 million from the National Institute of Nursing Re-search to conduct the research.

“Juniper Village is pleased to provide support for this very important research whose eventual findings will benefit our residents by allowing us to better identify those suffering from delirium. The find-ings will then help us to best treat those residents, enriching their daily quality of care,” said Janice Whitaker, Juniper Village Rehabilitation and Skilled Care at Brook-line wellness director.

Currently, 35 residents of Juniper Vil-lage at Brookline have participated. At the time of a resident’s move into Juniper’s rehabilitation and skilled care community, residents who seem to be a good fit for the study are referred as potential candidates. If the resident, or family members who are the decision makers, decide to participate, release forms are completed and forward-ed to the College of Nursing.

Student nurses then engage with these residents and track their progress through-out their stay.

“Juniper Communities has been com-mitted to innovative dementia care for more than a decade. We are so proud that our programs have been nationally rec-ognized, but more pleased that we have positively impacted the lives of those we serve and their families,” said Dr. Lynne S. Katzmann, president and founder of Juni-per Communities.

According to the Alzheimer’s Associa-tion, an estimated 5.2 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease.

The Reserve DSD study is specifical-ly looking at complex care issues in the health of the elderly, dementia behavior in the elderly, drug burden in nursing home residents with dementia, non-pharma-cological interventions for the behavioral symptoms of dementia and delirium, and non-pharmacological interventions for de-lirium in persons with dementia.

Christian honored for serviceSTATE COLLEGE — Dr. Brian Christian,

of State College, was inducted as a fellow of the International College of Dentists at the organization’s 85th annual convocation on Oct. 10 in San Antonio.

An honorary organization for the recognition of outstanding and meri- torious service to the profession and community, the college presented Chris-tian with a membership plaque, a gold lapel pin and a gold key symbolic of this fellowship for conspicuous service rendered in the art and science of den-tistry.

A graduate of the University of Pennsyl-

vania School of Den-tal Medicine, Chris-tian has been practic-ing general dentistry in State College since 1987.

He and his wife, Dr. Cheri Basco, are owners of Scenery Park Dental Associ-ates. Christian served as past president of the Centre Dental So-

Penn State environmental major researches ‘scars’By ERIC CHRISTENSEN

Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State offers a wide variety of summer internship opportunities to its students. For senior Dylan Kubina, one of the most important guidelines for her research is a simple one — don’t forget the bug spray.

Kubina, of State College, is an environmental resource management major in the College of Agricultural Sciences. She is conducting a botanical survey of central Pennsylva-nia’s pingo scar regions.

Today, pingo scars are swamp-like geological features left behind from Pennsylvania’s last glacial period, around 15,000 years ago. During that era, the scars developed in patches of permafrost that were at least 5 meters thick, creating ecosystems that aren’t found anywhere else in the state.

Kubina is the fi rst to conduct a botanical survey of these unique environments.

“I submitted a research proposal with the help of my mentor in the environmental resource management pro-gram,” Kubina said. “Since then, she has helped me a lot with learning how to identify the different kinds of plants

we have been observing in the pingo scar regions.”Locations where pingo scarring has been found include

R.B. Winter State Park and Rothrock State Forest. Kubina has found some challenges during her research.“The hardest thing probably has been learning the Latin

names of all of the plants we are identifying. Also, since the regions are so swampy, there are bugs everywhere. Even when I use the strongest bug spray, it’s impossible not to get bitten,” she said.

Despite the challenges, Kubina is excited to be doing research that never has been conducted before.

“The best part about the research is fi nding plants that never have been identifi ed anywhere else in the state,” she said. “Discoveries like that show just how unique these ecosystems are and how important it is to study them care-fully.”

After graduation, Kubina plans to move to the West Coast for graduate school, continuing her studies in bota-ny and the environment.

“I hope I can fi nd a job in a botany-related fi eld. A lot of universities are scaling back their botany departments, but the research I’ve done this summer has showed me just how important studying plants can be. They have a cause and effect on every aspect of our environment.” Submitted photo

AUDITOR GENERAL VISITS Authors to visit Schlow LibrarySTATE COLLEGE — Schlow Centre Region Library will

have a two-for-one line-up at its “Speak Up for Libraries Day” author event on Thursday, Nov. 6.

Visiting Schlow’s Children’s Department will be Belle-fonte’s Teresa Stouffer, author of “No Snitchin’ in the Kitchen,” and Suzanne Bloom, who will read the latest book from her popular “Goose and Bear” series.

Stouffer created “No Snitchin’ in the Kitchen” to read to her students at Bellefonte Elementary School, where she taught learning support for 33 years. “No Snitchin’ in the Kitchen” is an autobiographical account of time spent baking with her mom and sister when Stouffer was grow-ing up.

Stouffer’s interactive book reading includes play kitch-en supplies and is part of the PA Forward initiative, em-phasizing basic and information literacy. Building on her training as a teacher, Stouffer has also designed a com-panion booklet for children to complete using their own words and illustrations after they’ve read “No Snitchin’ in the Kitchen.”

Bloom is both an author and an illustrator who has pre-sented her works to children throughout the United States. With more than a dozen published children’s books, Bloom is a popular writer and presenter. She will be read-ing from her new book, “Alone Together.”

Head children’s librarian Anita Ditz is delighted to offer this opportunity to Schlow’s young readers.

“Kids love our author visits because they are engag-ing and fun. We love author visits because they create a real-life connection to the books and stories that shape the children of our community,” Ditz said.

The visits are part of a statewide initiative to bring au-thors to local libraries and showcase how libraries inspire, inform and empower those authors. Speak Up for Librar-ies Day gives authors across the state the opportunity to demonstrate the important role that libraries play in all of our lives.

The event will take place in Schlow’s Downsbrough Community Room at 6:30 p.m. and is free and open to the public.

Dental office collecting candy for troopsBy BRITTANY SVOBODA

[email protected]

PORT MATILDA — When thinking about the best parts of Halloween, creative costumes and spooky parties are some of the first to come to mind. Trick-or-treat-ing, however, is also atop that list, espe-cially for children.

But most children get more Halloween candy than they know what to do with. Instead of grazing on countless pieces for weeks to come, have your children pick the ones they like best and donate the rest to a good cause.

Pediatric Dental Care and Happy Valley Orthodontics will pay $1 per pound for your children’s extra Halloween candy. Stop by their office from 3:30 to 6 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 3, at 1019 Ghaner Road, Suite A, in Port Matilda, to cash in on this offer.

The offices will also accept candy do-nations from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday, and 8 a.m. to noon on Friday.

Pediatric Dental Care and Happy Valley Orthodontics began this promotion five years ago as a way to help children and families cut down on candy consumption while participating in a national initiative to support the troops.

After a week of collecting candy, the dental offices will send it to California for

Operation Gratitude. Through the program, care packages,

which include the donated candy and other items, are sent to U.S. military per-sonnel throughout the country and those stationed internationally.

“It’s a great way to give back,” said Emily Janoscrat, a dental hygienist at Pe-diatric Dental Care and Happy Valley Or-thodontics. “And it’s fun for the kids of the Centre region.” Last year, the offices collected $450 worth of candy, which Jano-scrat hopes to surpass this year.

After major holidays during which chil-dren receive a lot of candy, such as Hallow-een and Easter, Janoscrat said her offices do see the effects of overconsumption of candy.

Candy doesn’t need to be cut out com-pletely, she said, but the constant grazing, like eating one or two pieces daily, is what causes dental issues such as cavities.

“It’s the constant intake of sugar,” Jano-scrat said. “(Our goal) is to get it out of the homes.” If candy is going to be consumed, chocolate is a better choice than hard, gooey candy because it melts faster in the mouth. Hard candy, she said, is more likely to stay in the grooves of the teeth, espe-cially if consumed regularly.

Those who have had recent dental work or who are currently receiving orthodontic treatment should avoid hard candy alto-

gether.In addition to receiving money for do-

nated candy, Pediatric Dental Care and Happy Valley Orthodontics also gives chil-dren a goodie bag with a new toothbrush

and enters them for a chance to win a $50 Walmart gift card and a Kindle Fire.

Sprucetown Methodist Church holds annual fall bazaar

By SAM [email protected]

SPRING MILLS — On Oct. 25, the Sprucetown Methodist Church held its an-nual Fall Bazaar in the lower level of the church building located on Upper Georges Valley Road.

This event was held as a fundraiser for the church’s outreach fund, which helps people facing personal and financial trag-edies in the Penns Valley area. The church has about 45 active members, served by Pastor Jeff Mugridge.

The event was originally the combined effort of three churches: Faith United Methodist Church in Spring Mills, Bethany United Methodist Church in Tusseyville and the Sprucetown church. Over time, the Faith and Bethany churches dropped out, and the Sprucetown church took re-sponsibility for the event.

The bazaar featured home baked pies, bread and cookies, six kinds of soup, sand-

wiches and many tables filled with all man-ner of household goods and handmade craft items for sale. All the food and mer-chandise is donated by church members.

Church member Beverly Foust brought some unique handmade necklaces to sell. The necklaces are made from beads that she makes from strips of recycled paper. This technique dates back to Victorian times, when ladies would gather to make beads, just as they did for quilting and knitting. They used scraps of wallpaper, which they rolled on knitting needles, to make the beads, and then dipped them in paraffin or beeswax to seal them.

Foust uses the covers of her church bulletins as a raw material. She cuts long triangular strips of paper, coats the back sides with glue, and rolls the strips around toothpicks to make the beads.

“Each bead is different,” said Foust.She strings the paper beads alternated

with various types, sizes and colors of plas-tic beads to complete the necklaces.

STATE COLLEGE — Millbrook Marsh Nature Center will host the 12th annual Historic Harvest Festival from 2 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 2, at the center, located at 548 Puddintown Road in College Town-ship.

This free community event explores life during the harvest in the 1800s through demonstrations, games, refreshments, crafts, music and more. The Historic Har-vest Festival is a fun way for the whole fam-

ily to enjoy Millbrook Marsh. The festival is held outdoors, rain or shine.

The third annual Scarecrow Stuff It contest also will be held during the festi-val. Teams can register for the scarecrow-building contest, which begins at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 2, and compete for cash prizes. Cost is $10 per team; call (814) 231-3071 to register.

Franzese to speak at churchMILESBURG — Former mob boss Mi-

chael Franzese had it all — money, power and prestige.

Then, he did the unthinkable — he quit the mob. Franzese will share his story on Sunday, Nov. 9, at Freedom Life, 113 Sun-set Acres in Milesburg.

The community is invited to hear Fran-zese reveal the answers to the many mys-teries surrounding his life. Find out how he did what no one else has managed to do — leave the mob and live.

“Rudy Guiliani couldn’t peg him, but we’ve got him booked,” jokes Freedom Life Campus pastor Eric Gerber. “But really, I’ve heard Michael Franzese before, and his story will blow you away. It’s just in-credible. It’s an honor for us to be able to offer this event to our community. Mafia-Church is one of the biggest events of the year for us. It’s going to be huge and have a great impact on all who attend.”

To accommodate an anticipated large crowd, there will be two identical services: the first will begin at 9 a.m. and the second will begin at 11 a.m. Freedom Life Kids will host children — infants through fifth grade — with exciting, age-appropriate programs during the services.

Franzese’s appear-ance at Freedom Life comes near the time of his new movie re-lease, “God the Fa-ther,” which portrays his powerful story.

At age 35, Fortune magazine listed Fran-zese as No. 18 on the “50 Most Wealthy and Powerful Mafia Boss-es.”

He masterminded brilliant schemes on

the edge of a legitimate business world. After years of investigations and trials, Franzese finally pleaded guilty and accept-ed a 10-year prison sentence.

Then upon release, amazingly, he walked away from everything — without protective custody.

The movie and Franzese’s message at Freedom Life will tell of his life defined by two blood covenants: the first bound him to the mob and the second set him free.

Meeting set for Nov. 5BELLEFONTE — All women are invited to attend Belle-

fonte Aglow’s November meeting at 10 a.m. on Wednes-day, Nov. 5, at Living Hope Alliance Church, 321 Howard St.

Diane Burke will be the guest speaker. Burke and her husband, Paul, have been married for 34 years. They are members of TLTC church where she is on the pastoral team. She is an ordained itinerant minister through Global Awakening and has been on numerous mission trips.

Those attending are asked to arrive at 9:30 a.m. for cof-fee and fellowship before the presentation.

HOWARD — The Veterans of Foreign Wars Ladies Aux-iliary of the Jackson-Crissman-Saylor Post 1600 in Belle-fonte recently presented a new American flag to the Eagle Ironworks at Curtin Village Pennsylvania Historic Site in honor of all veterans.

The presentation was made by Kate Shuey and Nancy Smith, members of the auxiliary who noticed the worn flag being flown at the site and arranged for the auxiliary to replace it.

The flag-raising ceremony took place on Oct. 7. John Romani, the historic site’s tour guide, expressed gratitude for the new flag and had the honor of raising it up the flagpole for all to view on the grounds of the 1830 Roland Curtin Mansion. He informed spectators that the mansion was one of the places where soldiers from Centre County enlisted during the Civil War.

Curtin Village — which operated from 1810 to 1920 — is the only place in Pennsylvania where visitors can see a reconstructed waterwheel-powered iron furnace and peek into the lives of the local rich and the poor workers during the 1800s. The tour also includes Gov. Andrew Curtin’s personal carriage and antique farm machinery.

Guided tours of the Roland Curtin Mansion, Eagle Iron-works Furnace and the Worker’s Village, located at 251 Curtin Village Road in Howard, are given from 10 a.m. to 3

p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays through the end of Octo-ber. The tour fee is $4.


STATE COLLEGE — Community members will soon come together to support a local mother who, despite bat-tling a brain tumor for the second time, has organized a charity race.

The Team Snap 5K will take place at 11 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 9, at Tudek Park, 400 Herman Drive. Proceeds from the event will benefit the National Brain Tumor Society in honor of Jamie Barbarich Covol, an autistic support teacher at Mount Nittany Elementary School.

Covol was diagnosed with a brain tumor eight years ago, three months after her eldest son was born. After that, she and her husband, Brian, joined by their two sons, Braylan, 8, and Layton, 4, began participating in the Race for Hope in Philadelphia, which also benefits the National Brain Tumor Society.

Covol and her family recently learned that the tumor has grown back. While waiting to hear what action they will take, Covol decided to organize an event to help her sons realize what the level of support is for families in the area going through a hard time.

With the help of friends, Covol organized the Team Snap 5K. Since the whole family loves being outdoors and running the Race for Hope, a local race turned out to be a great option, she said.

“This has been very humbling,” Covol said. “We’re for-tunate to live in this wonderful community and are so grateful for their support.”

By the last week in October, about 250 people had already signed up for the race. The original goal was 100

participants, according to Alli Mock, a friend of Covol and one of the race organizers.

“They’ve been so touched by the outpouring from the community,” Mock said. “It’s so awesome for them and they’re so happy.”

Covol and Mock said that this is the first year they are organizing the race, and if all goes well, they’ll definitely continue it.

Girl Scouts host first-ever 5K fundraiser

STATE COLLEGE — Girl Scouts in the Heart of Penn-sylvania supporters trotted, dashed and sprinted to raise more than $15,000 for local Girl Scouts at the inaugural Thin Mint Sprint on Oct. 5 in Boalsburg. The event sur-passed its goal as runners came together to raise funds for local Girl Scouts chapters.

More than 100 participants joined the cause by lacing up their racing shoes for the Do-Si-Do 20-Yard Dash, half-mile Tagalong Trot Fun Run and the Thin Mint Sprint 5K. State College Mayor Elizabeth Goreham and GSHPA’s CEO Jane Ransom awarded 12 winners with ribbons for their race times. Dylan Kutruff, of Flinton, and Megan Sherwin, of Port Matilda, took home the overall winner ribbons.

Male winners in their age groups were: Lawson Gramly, of Mifflinburg; Kevin Mackie, of Olyphant; Marc Dingman, of Port Matilda; and Chris Greene, of State College.

By McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Home remodeling, one of the biggest industries in the country, is being transformed by the Internet with a push from a fast-growing startup in Silicon Valley.

Until recently, a homeowner thinking about remodel-ing would have checked out books from the library, read some design magazines, asked friends for advice and tried to fi nd help on the Web.

But in January, 14 million people turned instead to Houzz, a small Palo Alto, Calif., company that has grabbed the $300 billion remodeling industry by the tail and is changing the way homeowners connect with design pro-fessionals and fi gure out how they want to improve their homes. And it’s taking off just as the housing market is rebounding and giving homeowners more equity to play with.

It’s the latest example of the way the Internet has disrupted an entire industry, having already transformed everything from publishing to entertainment. But this is with a twist: Rather than hurting established players in the remodeling business, sites like Houzz are likely to benefi t them by bringing them more business more ef-fi ciently.

“Houzz has had a huge impact in the residential de-sign community,” said Mark Demerly, an Indianapolis architect and recently chairman of the American Institute of Architects’ custom residential network. “We ask our

clients to seek out things on it they like and that inspire them.” Created four years ago by Alon Cohen and Adi Tatarko, who were remodeling their Palo Alto home, the home-improvement site quickly caught on across the U.S. and in Canada.

“Clipping things out of design magazines seemed so antiquated,” Cohen recently recalled. “Today everything is online. We thought, ‘There’s got to be a better way to do this.’ “ Houzz’s iPad and iPhone apps have been downloaded 6 million times. It has 14 million visitors a month — up from 1.3 million downloads and 4 million visitors a year ago — who pore over 1.2 million images of remodeling projects with links to 188,000 architects, designers and other professionals. In a little more than two years, it has drawn $48.6 million in three rounds of venture funding.

The revenue comes from advertising by national brands and a professional subscription package launched a few months ago.

Now competition is emerging. Last month, the Seattle-based home-valuation site

Zillow introduced Zillow Digs, a similar service. Zillow spokeswoman Cynthia Nowak said it’s “a huge market,” citing a study that found that nearly 25 percent of recent homeowners completed a kitchen or bathroom remodel-ing project last year.

The new Zillow Digs iPad app includes cost estimates for many remodeling projects and links to more than 20,000 home improvement professionals and more than 30,000 photos. It’s too new to have any user metrics, but Zillow’s home-valuation site has 46 million monthly visi-tors.

If approved by the voters, the Township would retire the debt by enacting a property tax increase of 0.6 mills beginning in 2016. For more information visit the Township website at http://twp.patton.pa.us/ or call the Township office at 234-0271.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Ohio State didn’t score 63 points, or run up 600 yards of offense, or average almost 10 yards every play like it did last season in the Horseshoe.

Yet the Buckeyes got enough — just barely and with some help — in their 31-24 overtime win over Penn State.

For Penn State fans, there was much in this game to be very encouraged about. Let’s face it, it wasn’t diffi cult to imagine a demoralizing 60-something beatdown in front of a white-out crowd and every recruit east of the Great Lakes.

Actually, it wasn’t hard to imagine that at halftime.But the Penn State defenders were not about to let that

happen, nor was Christian Hackenberg, or Mike Hull, or those much-maligned players along the offensive line. The 17-point comeback and the Hackenberg-led drive to the brink of a major upset were drama as riveting as any seen at Beaver Stadium.

It’s still a loss, though, at it leaves Penn State at 4-3, two games shy of bowl-eligibility, and having somehow to regroup and refocus on a new opponent: the Maryland Terrapins.

Perhaps no team would like to come into Beaver Sta-dium and beat Penn State more than Maryland.

That’s because of a whole swirl of factors — it’s the fi rst meeting of the teams in 22 years, Maryland’s long history of falling short against Penn State (1-35-1 record), Mary-land’s status as a new Big Ten member bent on making a big fi rst impression, James Franklin’s tenure as a Maryland coach (and possibly its head coach), the recruiting wars between the two teams, etc.

Suffi ce it to say, the Terrapins will be highly motivated and they have players who can do damage.

Maryland is 5-3 so far this season and 2-2 in the Big Ten. After beating Indiana 37-15 in its Big Ten opener, Mary-land lost to Ohio State, 52-24, beat Iowa, 38-31, and lost to Wisconsin, 52-7.

The Terps are led by sixth-year senior quarterback C.J. Brown, who has amassed some impressive numbers in his career at Maryland.

He ranks eighth in school history with more than 4,400 passing yards and, added to his 1,538 yards rushing, he is among only 10 active FBS players with more than 4,000 yards passing and 1,000 yards rushing.

Brown has eight 100-yard rushing performances, and he needs only 144 more yards of total offense to pass Boomer Esiason for third place in program history.

Against Wisconsin, however, Brown was held to 129 yards passing, and he rushed for only 14 yards. He did complete his 28th career touchdown pass to wide receiver Stefan Diggs for Maryland’s only score in the game.

Diggs leads the team in receptions (46) and yards

(601), and he has eight career 100-yard receiving games. He averages six catches per game for 79 yards, and he has more than 2,000 career receiving yards for Maryland.

Maryland has 1,100 yards rushing this season on 283 at-tempts, and is led by Brown who has a net of 376 yards and fi ve touchdowns.

Brandon Ross (257 yards) and Wes Brown (231) also carry the ball for the Terps.

Besides Diggs, Deon Long, Marcus Leak and Ross also have more than 200 receiving yards.

Placekicker Brad Craddock is one of the best in the country. This season, he is 12-12 on fi eld goals (long of 57) and 31-31 on extra points for a total of 67 points.

Defensively, cornerback William Likely has four inter-ceptions, including a 43-yard pick-6. Defensive end Andre Monroe has a team-leading 6.5 sacks this season and 21 sacks in his career.

Maryland as a team has 13 sacks so far, tied for the lead in the Big Ten.

For Penn State, Maryland marks the beginning of the fi nal push of the season and the fi rst of fi ve consecutive games in November. Even though Penn State lost only one time to Maryland in 37 games, the last meeting between the teams was in 1983 and much has changed since then.

One thing that hasn’t changed is the play of the Penn State defenses. This year’s Nittany Lion de-fense — just as it was in the 1980s and 90s — is among the best in the country.

Penn State leads the Big Ten Conference in rushing defense and red zone defense, and it is

second in scoring and third in total defense. The Nittany Lions are ranked in the Top 10 nation-

ally in three of the four categories.The Nittany Lions are No. 3 nationally in

rushing defense, allowing just 83.4 yards per game on ground. They are one of just eight teams in the NCAA allowing fewer than 100

yards rushing per game.Penn State has allowed just 17.4 points per

contest, which ranks No. 9 nationally and the Nit-tany Lions’ 284.7 yards per game stat also is good for No. 7 nationally.

Penn State, Alabama and Louisville are the nation’s only teams ranked in the Top 10 in all three categories.

Even so, Ohio State’s J.T. Barrett hurt Penn State with his versatility, especially in the fi rst half and in overtime on Oct. 25. The Nittany Lions will have to be especially wary of Brown, who is dangerous running or passing.

Offensively, Penn State did not noticeably improve its running game against the Buckeyes, but the Lions used a short, quick, outside passing game to relieve pressure on Hackenberg. It worked, mostly in the second half against OSU, and Hackenberg found enough time to nearly lead the Lions to a win.

Maryland has a fi erce pass rush, however the Terps’ run defense is not as solid as what Penn State has seen recently. Look for Penn State to be able to move the ball on the ground more effectively between the tackles against the Terrapins.

On the down side for the Lions, both Ryan Keiser and Zach Zwinak are injured and out for the season. Both are seniors and have been major contributors for Penn State.

UNIVERSITY PARK — There was plenty for postgame radio show hosts to dissect following Penn State’s gut-wrenching 31-24 double overtime loss to Ohio State on Oct. 25.

It was the third consecutive loss for the Nittany Lions, who slipped to 4-3 on the season. In every game, there’s always some good, bad and ugly to go around.

This week is no exception.■ The good — Penn State battled. Down 17-0, it would

have been easy for the Nittany Lions to fold up their tents. To their credit, they made some halftime adjustments and came out on fire. An interception return by Anthony Zettel got the Lions back in the game. After trimming the deficit to 17-14, quarterback Christian Hackenberg led his squad on an epic drive to knot the game and force overtime.

■ The bad — Zach Zwinak’s bad break. Zwinak suffered a lower leg injury on the first play of the game. Zwinak was lost in coach James Franklin’s system, even though he rushed for more than 1,000 yards in 2012 and nearly 1,000 in 2013. He is now out for the season.

■ The ugly — The officiating. Let’s face it: It was a bad night for the Big Ten officiating crew. How they blew the in-terception, we’ll never know. Then, there was the Ohio State field goal in which the play clock expired. Those were the worst of the mistakes in a mistake-filled night for the crew. Of course, good teams overcome bad calls. Simply put, Penn State has a long way to go before it can lay claim to being the best in the Big Ten — bad calls not withstanding.

BELLEFONTE — It was a near-perfect weekend for orga-

nizers of the Bellefonte Relay for Life.

Beautiful weather? Check. Large crowds at Governor’s

Park? Check. Fundraising goals met? Check.

According to event co-chair Gail Miller, this year’s Relay

for Life was one of the most memorable.

“It was wonderful,” Miller said. “We had good weather,

finally. We had a great time. The new teams really seemed to

enjoy the atmosphere. It was a celebration.”

There was plenty of reason to celebrate.

According to Miller, the event raised $97,130 to help find a

cure for cancer.

That pushes the Bellefonte Relay for Life to more than $2

million raised during its 20-year history.

Miller said that the event has become popular because

everyone is affected by cancer.

“It touches everybody. If it hasn’t touched you yet, it will at

any time. It touches everybody’s life, it could be a relative, a

neighbor or a friend,” she said.

The Relay for Life kicked off Friday afternoon and lasted

24 hours.On Friday, the popular Miss Relay Pageant was held. Dur-

ing the pageant, males dress in drag and collect donations in

an effort to be named “Miss Relay.”

“We had 17 register. It was packed and they had a great

time,” Miller said. “The 17 participants raised over $800 in

one hour. Each one had an hour to walk around with their

purse and raise money. Oh, my … it was crazy.”

For Tara Ripka, of Zion, the Relay for Life has become an

annual event. Ripka is a 14-year cancer survivor. Her team,

Tara’s Angels, has been participating in the Relay for Life for

13 years.“It was a great success,” Ripka said. “Our team raised over

$10,100 this year!”

Ripka’s team was just that over the weekend — a team.

Tara’s Angels dressed in football garb this year.

“Since the theme was ‘party,’ our team went with a Super

Bowl party. We dressed in football jerseys and decorated our

site as a football field. We were Tara’s Angels versus cancer,”

Ripka said.

Cleary, the 24-hour walkathon is a special event for those

taking part.

John Wolfe came from Lock Haven to walk at Governor’s

Park.“I’ve been to a bunch of these, but this is a special one.

The setting is great, the people are friendly and it’s for a great

cause. I can’t think of a better way to spend my Saturday,”

Wolfe said.

Wolfe said that he was walking to honor his mother, who

died of cancer several years ago.

STATE COLLEGE — The College Heights Neighbor-

hood Association, after growing tired of repeated traffic

violations at the intersection of Atherton Street and Park

Avenue, made up their minds to petition the Pennsylvania

Legislature to allow State College and other similar mu-

nicipalities to use red light cameras at dangerous intersec-

tions.The association’s petition requests that the Legislature

expand 2012’s Act 84 legislation, which authorizes large

municipalities with populations exceeding 20,000 and ac-

credited police departments to install red light enforce-

ment cameras.

A press release accompanying the petition argues for

State College’s ability to use these same cameras, given the

borough’s similarity in population size and infrastructure

to the cities authorized by Act 84.

College Heights member and Penn State professor of

architecture Don Leon said in an email that his car was

totaled after being hit by a driver running a red light at

the Atherton-Park intersection, leading to his involvement

with the petition.

The petition received approximately 300 signatures

from State College residents, and was sent to Centre Coun-

ty representatives in the state Legislature with a letter de-

tailing various accidents involving drivers, pedestrians and

bicyclists at high-volume intersections in town.

“The majority of the signatures were garnered in a very

short period of time just standing at the intersection and

asking people if they would support it,” association mem-

ber and Penn State academic adviser Laura Brown said.

“By and large, upwards of 90 percent of people wanted to

sign it when I was there.”

STATE COLLEGE — The State College Borough

Water Authority can’t “come in and totally rip the

town all up year after year,” authority executive di-

rector John Lichman said. Instead, the authority has

to carefully plan various important projects across

several years that correspond with the borough’s

community event schedule.

The current construction along College Avenue,

replacing a century-old water line, is the latest of

these projects. Lichman said the project has been

on the authority’s radar for “a very long time.”

Lichman said that the authority would prefer to

replace such lines within 60 to 80 years, but other

BELLFONTE — Tom Wilson

has been to different parts of the

world, but there’s only one place

he calls home.

That’s Bellefonte.

The current Bellefonte mayor

joined the Navy soon after he

graduated from Bellefonte Area

High School during the Vietnam

War era. His extensive traveling

during his four-year enlistment

helped stamp his ticket back

home though, and made him ap-

preciate all that the area has to

offer.“There’s a lot of natural beau-

ty here,” Wilson said. “The fact

that we’re close to a major uni-

versity ... gives us some opportu-

nities for cultural events that we

wouldn’t have if we were stuck

out in the middle of nowhere.”

While metropolitans might

consider Bellefonte to be in the

middle of nowhere, he said, you

can’t beat the small-town atmo-

sphere that the borough boasts

with the advantage of being

surrounded by mountains and

streams.And Wilson is quite the out-

doorsman.“I’ve (canoed) all over the

state and I hunt,” he said.

Another hobby of his is music.

Wilson has played trumpet in an

eight-piece horn band and also

has been lead singer for several

groups.After serving in the military,

Wilson returned to Centre Coun-

ty and worked for First Media/

WZWW in radio sales and pro-

motions. He has also owned and

operated Centretainment, an en-

tertainment booking company,

SPOTLIGHT

Special Olympics enjoys great weather, record numbers

By CHRIS MORELLI

[email protected]

UNIVERSITY PARK — The

45th annual Special Olympics

Pennsylvania Summer Games

went off without a hitch over the

weekend.Penn State was once again

the host site. According to event

director Ed Gannon, the games

played out perfectly. There were

no weather delays and every-

thing fell into place.

“It went very well,” Gannon

said. “Our big issue is always the

weather. We work all year to get

all the kinks worked out and to

have a smooth production. The

last week is always a panic be-

cause everyone is looking at the

weather. The weather has always

been the factor that can make or

break the games.”

But with temperatures in the

70s and no rain in sight, the 2014

Summer Games were just about

perfect.According to Gannon, record

numbers of volunteers, coaches

and athletes converged on Uni-

versity Park for the annual event.

“It was our largest event

to date … the most amount of

athletes ever. I don’t know the

exact numbers — we had a lot of

scratches and late additions —

but we had well over 2,300 ath-

letes,” he said.

Because the Special Olympics

Summer Games is such a mas-

sive undertaking, planning the

event takes place well in advance.

“We work all year long on this

thing. We try to take care of all

the possible problems. If we can’t

take care of them, we at least try

to identify them. We still do a lot

of reaction during the games.

There’s a lot of things that can

potentially go wrong,” Gannon

said.According to Gannon, in ad-

dition to the 2,300 athletes, there

were 1,600 volunteers and 600

coaches. The numbers, quite

simply, are staggering.

“It takes a lot of coordination.

When you’re working with those

numbers … there’s always last-

minute crises. Some years, we’ve

had rain, cold — the games have

been moved inside. But when

we have weather like we did, the

games are an unqualified suc-

cess,” Gannon noted.

According to Gannon, the

safety of the athletes is para-

mount.“With the population of ath-

letes that we’re dealing with, we

need to be careful. Special Olym-

pics requires a one-to-four ratio;

one coach or assistant coach for

every four athletes. We’re well

aware that we’ve got a popula-

tion of athletes that needs to be

supervised. Our biggest concern

is what can potentially happen

to those athletes. They are given

a lot of freedom here, so we’re

very concerned about the safety

of our athletes,” he said.

Aside from the normal bumps

and bruises and a few trips to the

emergency room, at the Special

Olympics Pennsylvania Summer

Games, the injuries were few and

far between.

“We had several hospital runs

from injuries that were sustained

on the basketball court. Noth-

ing out of the ordinary,” Gannon

said.For athletes like Stan Berecky,

stays on schedule, officials say

By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT

UNIVERSITY PARK — Though the State College

High School graduation ceremony this past Satur-

day had to be moved to the Pegula Ice Arena due to

the Bryce Jordan Center construction, the project

is on track to be finished by Penn State’s summer

commencement on Saturday, Aug. 16.

Bernie Punt, the BJC director of sales and market-

ing, said in an email that the high school commence-

ment was the only event that had to be moved due

to the construction. Since touring acts are slower

during the summer, the project hasn’t dramatically

impacted their scheduling.

“That doesn’t mean we are not busy,” Punt said.

“Our conference rooms and auxiliary gym are being

utilized all summer for banquets, proms, basketball

and volleyball camps.”

Project leader Marcie Van Horn said the whole

building is not under construction, and its offices

remain open. Both the building roof and the arena

floor are being renovated and replaced.

“As is typical, most roofing systems have about

a 20-year life cycle, and this roof has been up 18

years,” Van Horn said. “This started as an arena floor

Plans for flood

wall in Bellefonte

revealed to publicBy BRITTANY SVOBODA

[email protected]

BELLEFONTE — Plans for a flood wall and walkway were unveiled to

the community last Wednesday as part of the Waterfront Improvement

Project in downtown Bellefonte.

Representatives from Buchart-Horn Engineering, the Bellefonte In-

dustrial Development Authority and the borough were available to field

the public’s questions and concerns about the proposed plans.

Bellefonte Borough manager Ralph Stewart said that the idea for the

Waterfront Improvement Project began after the Bush House Hotel,

which sat on the vacant lot above Spring Creek between West High and

West Lamb streets, burned down in 2006.

Mayor Tom Wilson added that the area is prone to flooding, and the

borough is required to build the flood wall before any development on

the vacant land can take place.

STATE COLLEGE — Five years ago, “gluten-free”

was not a household term.

Today, however, there are gluten-free sections at

markets, gluten-free menus on restaurant items and

gluten-free stores.

“The gluten-free market has been growing for some

time,” said Louisa Smith, a pastry chef and co-owner

of Good Seed Baking Co., a new dedicated gluten-free

bakery located in the former Fasta & Ravioli Co. site at

129 S. Fraser St. in State College.

Smith said she got into the gluten-free market “kind

of by accident.” While making conventional baked

goods, she started making macaroons, which are natu-

rally gluten-free, and sold them at area farmers mar-

kets.

UNIVERSITY PARK — There’s a word in the English language that isn’t always used, but one that’s pretty important in analyzing this year’s Penn State football team, or any team, really.

That word: context.After the Oct. 25

primetime clash against Ohio State, a 31-24 double-over-time near-miss that included blown of-ficiating calls, Dae-Sean Hamilton setting a Penn State record with 14 catches in one game and Mike Hull racking up a career-high 19 tackles, coach James Franklin and his players were emotion-ally spent.

“I’m an emotional guy, so I got emotional with them,” Franklin said of his postgame message. “It starts with ‘I love you’ and ends with ‘I love you,’ always with us. I’m re-

ally proud of how they competed. There are no moral victories at Penn State and there never will be, but I’m proud of how they fought and stood together.

“With that, we’ll get where we want to go. We’ll get where the fans want us to go. We’ll go where everyone needs us to go. That’s the most important thing. There are no moral victories, but I love these kids and sticking together, we’ll get where we want to be. I told them that and I was emo-tional when I told them that.”

Franklin was measured in his respons-es, especially after each of the three times he was asked if he was given an explana-tion for an Ohio State interception that re-plays showed hit the ground, and a 49-yard Buckeye fi eld goal that came a few seconds after the play clock expired.

He said the team will focus on what they could control, and that means prepar-

ing for Maryland, the fi rst in a fi ve-game stretch that will determine Penn State’s postseason fate.

Penn State needs to win two out of its last fi ve games to qualify for a bowl game. Now stop and think about that for a min-ute, or two, or 10. Take the rest of the day if you want to.

Imagine a few years ago if someone said that in October 2014, the football team would be in the exact situation I just de-scribed — two wins away from a bowl — and the scenario would’ve been incompre-hensible.

This season, the third during the sanc-tions, was always targeted as the worst of the worst. But after Penn State started 4-0 and the NCAA lifted the bowl ban, celebra-tion trumped refl ection.

In a lot of ways, that’s fi ne, and proba-bly good. But this year’s team is seemingly critiqued without regard to what’s been happening around the program. This team has limitations, a shorter ceiling than what the program is used to. Fair or not, that’s the way it is this year.

But the coaches and players make you forget the limitations that have been placed on them. They just play, and they just coach, and while there have been maddeningly frustrating times, this sea-son’s Ohio State game reminded fans that things won’t always be this diffi cult.

In the meantime, Ohio State continues to remain the conference benchmark. You could use the word “escaped” to describe the Buckeyes’ win, but they usually fi nd a way: They’ve won 19 straight Big Ten con-ference games in the regular season.

Now, about those two wins Penn State needs to qualify for a bowl — the Lions might not get them. The rest of the sched-ule is manageable: home games against Maryland, Temple and Michigan State and visits to Indiana and Illinois.

But, the Lions will need a Herculean ef-fort to down the Spartans, especially since there’s a good chance Michigan State will need that victory to clinch a trip to the Big Ten title game in Indianapolis.

Temple and Illinois are the obvious

targets, though I suspect Indiana might be overvalued. The Hoosiers usually fi nd a way to lose games, and they’ve already claimed their marquee win this year, against Missouri. For Penn State, 6-6 or 7-5 seems likely, though a 5-7 fi nish also seems possible.

I suspect the team will pick up those two wins, fi nish 6-6 and play in a bowl game named after a pizza joint or chain restaurant.

That’s an unappealing result in most years for the players, coaches and fans. But with context, that’s a better fi nish in 2014 than anyone could have imagined a few years ago.

And most fans seem to understand that. Standing on the fi eld in the aftermath of the loss, the fans, and especially the stu-dent section, gave the team a nice ovation. It was past midnight, and everyone in the stadium looked drained, but a year after Ohio State posted 63 points on the Lions in a romp in Columbus, this had a much different feel.

“I think we started playing a lot more complimentary football,” junior defensive Anthony Zettel said. “We started trusting the offense and they started trusting us, so I think we took a step forward. Ohio State is a really good team. We had opportuni-ties to win the game; unfortunately, we couldn’t, but I think we, as a team, took a step forward.”

NEWS AND NOTESDEFENSIVE MOMENTUM

Ohio State had scored 224 points in its last four games, averaging 56. The Buck-eyes didn’t come close to that mark, with Penn State containing Ohio State’s option and sacking J.T. Barret three times; the Buckeyes scored 17 points in regulation, and were shut out in the third and fourth quarters.

The defense also shifted the momen-tum when the offense sputtered.

Zettel gave Beaver Stadium a jolt early in the second half, when he picked off a pass and rumbled 40 yards for a score; it was the fi rst interception return for a touchdown for Penn State since 2009. Zettel also bat-ted down a pass on third-and-4 in the third quarter, forcing a fi eld goal attempt, which Ohio State missed.

Of his interception, Zettel said: “Coach (Bob) Shoop called a good play call for what the offense was doing. The quarter-back didn’t see me, it was a good cover up by the other blitzers and he threw the ball right to me. It was more of a play call than anything else; I was just in the right spot.”

MOVING THE BALL LATEAfter struggling mightily in their last two

games, the Lions produced a late-game drive that resulted in a Sam Ficken fi eld goal that sent the game into overtime. Christian Hackenberg led a 19-play, 77-yard drive that began from Penn State’s 9-yard line.

The Lions also converted three third downs.“If you saw the UCF game, we were

down and had the same situation; we had been stalling all game and we just fi nal-ly decided that we could move the ball,” Hamilton said. “We’re down and we know that we need to score and get points on the board to tie and go to overtime or win the game. Our offense really turns on in situa-tions like that. It’s not necessarily explain-able why we do that. We just know what the task is and we had to go get it done.”

“We knew they were going to score,” senior defensive end C.J. Olaniyan said. “That’s our offense. Whenever we need it, they step up. We believe in them and when we got them the ball back, we knew they were going to score.

WHITE-OUT MAKES IMPACTPenn State’s annual white-out had

a real impact on the game, with an Ohio State drive in the second quarter stalling, in part, to a couple illegal procedure penal-ties. Ohio State had a fi rst-and-10 on Penn State’s 17-yard line but settled for a 49-yard fi eld goal after a Deion Barnes sack.

Ohio State also was assessed a delay of game penalty and had to call timeouts sev-eral times in Penn State territory after the play clock nearly expired.

Approximately 75 percent of the sold-out crowd was clad in white.

“It’s always a great atmosphere here, especially during a white-out,” Hacken-berg said. “Ohio State is a great team; I give them a lot of credit. They did what they needed to do, but we defi nitely gave our-selves a shot. We just couldn’t get it done.”

Hull added: “When we started recover-ing on big plays, the crowd started to shift and helped us get back into it. Anytime you have a crowd on your side like that, it pro-pels you to make big plays.”

HACKENBERG STAYING ‘TOUGH’The sophomore signal-caller fi nished

31-for-49 for 224 yards; he also threw a touchdown, an acrobatic 24-yard recep-tion by freshman receiver Saeed Blacknall. Hackenberg also threw two interceptions and was sacked fi ve times.

“The thing I think he’s doing that’s re-ally important is he’s been mentally and physically tough all year long,” Franklin said. “He’s taken a lot of hits and a lot of pounding and he’s standing in there and believing in his guys and delivering.”

INJURY FORCES ZWINAK OUTSenior running back Zach Zwinak suf-

fered an injury on the opening kickoff, and after laying on the fi eld for several min-utes, was carted off the fi eld. Zwinak gave a thumbs-up to the crowd and was able to stand on his own before leaving.

Akeel Lynch gained 38 yards on 13 carries to lead the Lions, and Bill Belton added eight yards on nine carries, includ-ing a one-yard touchdown.

Rivalry, from page 1

Keiser, a co-captain, was injured last Thursday in practice, and Zwinak sus-tained an injury on the opening kickoff of the Ohio State game.

Keiser started the fi rst six games of the season at free safety. He was No. 3 on the team with 25 tackles, and he had the game-clinching interception at Rutgers and two pass break-ups.

With 11 starts, Keiser made four career interceptions, including two in the end zone to clinch wins over Illinois and at Wisconsin last season.

Zwinak fi nished his career 15th on the Penn State career rushing list with 2,108 yards.

Having played in all 31 games the past three seasons, he is tied for 10th on the school list with 11 career 100-yard rushing games, eight of which came in November

games the past two years. He scored 18 career rushing touchdowns, including 12 last season.

Zwinak became the 14th different Nit-tany Lion to rush for 1,000 yards in a sea-son in 2012, fi nishing with exactly 1,000 yards after gaining a career-high 179 yards in the Senior Day overtime win over Wis-consin.

The Nittany Lions still have Bill Belton and Akeel Lynch in the backfi eld to carry on after Zwinak’s loss, and Keiser was re-placed by true freshman Marcus Allen.

Franklin and his staff are counting on the performance against Ohio State to be a springboard and a confi dence booster for the rest of the season. The Terrapins, on the other hand, have their sights set on moving to 6-3 (bowl eligible) and 3-2 in the Big Ten East.

Kickoff is set for noon at Beaver Sta-dium.

Chestnut Ridge pulls away from Bellefonte in second half for 31-0 winBy CHRIS MORELLI

[email protected]

BELLEFONTE — For the first 24 minutes of play, underdog Bellefonte was giving once-beat-en Chestnut Ridge all it could handle.

The Red Raiders stifled the Lions’ offense during the first half of the Oct. 24 game. As a re-sult, Chestnut Ridge held a scant 7-0 lead.

However, Chestnut Ridge would wear down the Red Raid-ers in the second half for a work-manlike 31-0 victory at Rogers Stadium.

“Bellefonte has some athletes. Interior-wise, they match up with you,” said Chestnut Ridge head coach Max Shoemaker. “They had a nice game plan. You have to give their coaching staff and kids a lot of credit for keeping us at bay. But I thought our kids did a nice job of not panicking.”

Over the first 12 minutes, the teams went back and forth, jock-eying for field position. Both of-fenses bogged down and the first quarter ended scoreless.

Bellefonte’s chances for the postseason were slim heading into the game. The loss dropped the Red Raiders to 2-7 and snuffed out any playoff hopes.

Still, Bellefonte head coach Shanon Manning said that he was pleased with his squad’s effort — despite the goose egg on the scoreboard at the end of the night.

“I felt good after every quar-ter,” Manning said. “This is a team that beat Central. That’s a good football team. That’s a high-powered offense. They av-erage over 400 yards of offense (a game). I thought we did a good job on them defensively.”

Bellefonte held Chestnut Ridge scoreless for much of the first half. However, the Lions eventually broke through just before intermission. With time winding down, Lion quarterback Tyler Wiley connected with wide receiver Feather Bryan for a pret-ty 27-yard scoring strike. Sean Vanmeter hit the PAT to make it 7-0.

The Red Raiders just couldn’t get any offense going in the first half.

“Our offense was always start-ing at the 10- or 15-yard line,” Manning explained. “You go three and out and you have to punt … that’s giving the other team the ball at the 50-yard line. It’s tough to defend half the field. It’s really team against a team like this.”

In the second half, Chestnut Ridge wore down Bellefonte. The Lions had a good-looking drive to start the second half that was capped by Matt Wiley’s 2-yard touchdown with 9:43 left in the third quarter.

Vanmeter nailed the extra point to extend the Chestnut

Ridge lead to 14-0.Chestnut Ridge pushed its

lead to 17-0 when Vanmeter nailed a 25-yard field goal with 2:04 left in the third.

By controlling the ball, the Lions were wearing down the Red Raiders.

“I think the kids said, ‘We’ve gotta figure this out.’ Eventually, we did,” Shoemaker said. “In the second half, we asserted our-selves a lot better.”

Defensively, the Lions shut down the Red Raider offense. Al-though they generated just one turnover — a first-half intercep-tion of Bellefonte QB Mark Arm-strong — Chestnut Ridge did not allow the Red Raiders to get into the red zone.

“We didn’t want to do any-thing stupid offensively that they could convert to an easy score. It’s nice to know that your de-fense can step up and play con-sistently. That makes it a little easier to be more conservative on offense,” Shoemaker said.

In the fourth quarter, the Lions put the game away.

Early in the final stanza, Tyler Wiley scored on a 3-yard run. Vanmeter kicked the PAT to ex-tend the lead to 24-0. Then, with 4:42 left in the game, Tyler Wiley hooked up with Noah Osman for another 27-yard touchdown to set the final at 31-0.

With the win, the Lions pushed their record to 8-1. They can turn their focus to the regular season

finale with Tyrone next week.“I feel we’ve improved since

the beginning of the year,” Shoe-maker said. “We have a big game next

week with Tyrone. It will be a good challenge and a nice way to head into the postseason.”

With the playoffs out of the picture, Bellefonte will focus on the season finale with Bald Eagle Area. The Curtin Bowl battle will be played at Rogers Stadium on Halloween night.

“It’s a big game. Any time you play a team from Centre County, it’s a big game,” Manning said. “It’s a huge game for us. It means a lot to us. I think we’ll be a lot healthier next week. The kids will be focused.”

Penn State breaks through for home sweepBy JOHN PATISHNOCK

[email protected]

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State seemed on the brink of scoring for the lon-gest time. Then, it finally happened. And then, it happened again. And again. And it didn’t ever really stop.

The Penn State men’s ice hockey team bulldozed Holy Cross, completing a week-end sweep with a 7-1 victory Oct. 26 at Pe-gula Ice Arena. It was the first home sweep for the Lions in their new arena.

After a scoreless first period, Penn State notched the game’s first goal when Taylor Holstrom delivered a backhanded pass to Casey Bailey, who fired from a few feet away on the right side of the net with a little less than five minutes to go in the sec-ond period; David Goodwin also assisted on the goal.

It was Bailey’s fourth score of the year after Goodwin brought the puck into the net and found Holstrom.

The score epitomized the type of day Penn State enjoyed: an acrobatic goal that seemingly involved the entire line.

Six players recorded a goal for Penn State, and nine Lions combined on 13 as-sists. Scott Conway, one of the team’s three freshmen, led Penn State with four points (two goals, two assists), with the two scores being his first of the year.

Jacob Friedman, David Glen, Curtis

Loik and Eric Scheid each registered a goal for Penn State, which led 4-1 before adding three goals in the final seven minutes.

“We can’t say we’re always going to get seven (goals), but hopefully we can get the same effort and focus to get to the net that we had tonight,” coach Guy Gadowsky said.

Penn State (3-1-2) controlled shots on goal (42-30), and especially early (15-5 after the first period). The Nittany Lions also killed a 5-on-3 Holy Cross power play in the second period when the game was still scoreless.

Penn State took the two-game series after winning 3-1 on Oct. 24. Bailey, Scheid and Rickey DeRosa all notched goals dur-ing the Friday evening game, and DeRosa contributed three assists to the Sunday af-ternoon match up.

Matthew Skoff (3-1-2), tabbed the team’s No. 1 goalie in the preseason, has started all six games for the Nittany Lions. Skoff made 29 saves, including 24 after the first period.

He saved five in the first period, but Gadowsky said that was just as impressive, saying all five were great looks.

Holy Cross (1-3-1) spoiled the shutout with a goal in the third period, but other-wise, Skoff did what’s become the norm: stay zeroed in, stay resilient and keep de-flecting shots.

“He has to stay mentally focused, and

he looked calm throughout the whole night,” Gadowsky said. “His demeanor, I think, perforated throughout the whole team.”

Penn State hosts Bentley (3-2) for a two-

game series Thursday, Oct. 30, and Friday, Oct. 31, and then won’t play at home again until Ohio States visits Happy Valley for a weekend series, Friday, Jan. 9, and Satur-day, Jan.10.

Curtin Bowl battle highlights Week 10By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

[email protected]

It’s time for the fi nales.The last week of the high school football

regular season has arrived. That means the end of the road for our Centre County teams.

With no playoffs on the horizon, the Bald Eagle Area-Bellefonte game is the highlight of Week 10.

A closer look at the games:

BALD EAGLE AREA (2-7) AT BELLEFONTE (2-7)

Bald Eagle Area and Bellefonte have traveled very different paths this season, but they both arrive at this season climac-tic game under surprisingly similar cir-cumstances.

Both are 2-7 overall and 2-4 in the Mountain League, and throughout the sea-son both teams have had problems with mistakes and turnovers impeding their of-fenses.

The Eagles and Raiders are 2-6 against common opponents, and each team suf-fered one-sided losses to the powerhouse teams on this year’s schedule — Tyrone, Clearfi eld, Central, Chestnut Ridge and Jersey Shore.

Although their records are the same, both likely have vastly different perspec-tives about their seasons so far.

BEA had extremely successful seasons in 2012 and 2013, and this year, by com-parison, has to seem like a disappoint-ment. That’s in light of losing a very tal-ented senior class from 2013 and having a new coaching staff and a new system in 2014. The Eagles began to lose their footing after a 28-6 loss to Penns Valley and never seemed to recover. The only highlight after that was a rousing 32-12 win over Hunting-don on Oct. 10.

For Bellefonte, 2014 has been a differ-ent matter. The Raiders got their fi rst win in two years on Sept. 26 against Philips-burg-Osceola and often showed grudging improvement even in lopsided losses.

The highlight for the Raiders was a come-from-behind, 20-12 victory over Penns Valley on Oct. 10 that displayed much of the progress the Raiders made this season.

There is one more similarity: Most of the bad memories and disappointments of 2014 for both teams can be wiped away with a win in this game.

No matter what the records, this would be the biggest game for both teams this year.

The numbers for each team are also comparable. The Raiders and Eagles rely mostly on their running games, with Belle-fonte gaining 155 yards per game and BEA getting 165. The Raiders leading rusher is Austin Jackson (75 yards per game), while Mitchell Struble (83 yards per game) han-dles most of the carries for BEA. Both quar-terbacks, Jason Jones for BEA and Mark Armstrong for Bellefonte, do not throw ex-cessively, but they can put it up when they have to.

All told, on paper, this contest is as even as it gets and will likely be decided with just a minute or two — or only seconds — to play.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Rogers Sta-dium.

MIFFLIN COUNTY (1-8) AT STATE COLLEGE (3-6)

It must be diffi cult for the State Col-lege players and coaches to look back on their six losses this season. Every one of them was close, and in every one of them a different result in a play here or a bounce there could have changed the outcome of the game.

In other words, the Little Lions may be 3-6, but they haven’t played like a 3-6 team.

This week State College entertains 1-8 Miffl in County. The Huskies have also played the same very tough Mid-Penn Conference schedule that State College played, but they have not fared nearly so well.

Since a non-league win over William-

sport on Sept. 5, Miffl in has lost seven straight Mid-Penn games, the closest of which was a 20-0 loss to Chambersburg on Oct. 3. Every other loss was more one-sided, including last week’s 47-0 loss to Central Dauphin.

Still, the Huskies are not without assets. They put up over 210 yards of offense each game, including 135 on the ground. Their leading runner is senior Jadon Boyer who has rushed 131 times this season for 710 yards and seven touchdowns. His best ef-fort came against Williamsport when he gained 192 yards on 20 carries and scored three touchdowns.

Seniors Hunter Walker and Brice Chris-tine share the quarterbacking duties, and they have combined for 509 yards passing and two touchdowns. They have also 151 yards on the ground with a touchdowns.

Miffl in has had diffi culties on defense this season and has held only one team — Chambersburg — to less than 30 points

with fi ve teams scoring more than 40.State College fell in its last game to

Cumberland Valley, 13-0, and struggled without leading rusher Jordan Misher.

The Little Lions tried to compensate with Stan Martin (42 yards) and quarter-back John Weakland (26 yards), but they managed only 80 yards on the ground against Cumberland Valley’s tough de-fense.

Weakland did throw for 124 yards, but it wasn’t enough as State College couldn’t come back in the second half from a 13-point defi cit.

Besides being State College fi nal home game of the season, Miffl in is the Little Lions closest rival and it also eliminated State College from the AAAA playoffs last season. So there should be no lack of moti-vation — from either side — in this game.

By MATT ALLIBONEStateCollege.com

MECHANICSBURG — It was never going to be easy.Taking on 6-2 Cumberland Valley on the road without

star running back Jordan Misher, the State College High football team was facing an uphill battle from the start on Oct. 24.

Still, the Little Lions didn’t do themselves any favors against the Eagles, failing to take advantage of early op-portunities in an eventual 13-0 loss that dropped them to 3-6 on the season.

“We left a lot of plays on the field,” State College head coach Matt Lintal said. “We were able to move the ball, just turnovers and penalties and we shot ourselves in the foot again.”

As has been common throughout the season, the Lit-tle Lions’ defense started off strong and gave the team a chance to control the momentum early on.

On Cumberland Valley’s second drive, the State College front seven stood tall on a fourth-and-1 play, stuffing run-ning back Tim Spinelli near midfield and giving the offense a prime opportunity to score.

However, the Little Lions’ other habit of struggling to finish off drives became a problem once again.

The following drive stalled at the Eagles 10-yard line and Kevin Cramer missed a 27-yard field goal.

“You can’t go against a 6-2 football team and leave op-portunities out there,” Lintal said. “You get yourself down

into the red zone, which is difficult enough, you gotta take advantage of it.”

It was the second straight week that the kicking game dogged State College, as Cramer also missed a crucial extra point in the Oct. 17 14-12 loss to Central Dauphin East.

“Kevin had a great week of practice,” Lintal said. “There’s still a lot of faith that our coaching staff has in Kevin. (The kick) was awfully close.”

Given a chance to redeem themselves, the Eagles’ of-fense embarked on a 90-yard touchdown drive capped by Spinelli’s 5-yard plunge for a 7-0 lead. The drive was highlighted by two big plays from H-back Connor Long, a 30-yard run and a 15-yard reception.

Things would continue to go south for State College on its next drive, as quarterback John Weakland forced a pass under pressure deep in his own end and was intercepted by defensive back Nick Rhodes.

A few plays later, Cumberland Valley quarterback Jake Hunt would hit a leaping Long with a 16-yard strike in the end zone between two Lion defenders to put the Eagles ahead 13-0.

State College’s next drive would also end abruptly when receiver Chris McDonough lost a fumble after a huge hit. The game went into halftime with the Lions down two scores.

“We had some plays to make (in the first half) and we needed some guys to step up and make them,” Lintal said. “Our defense played well enough to win the ball game.”

The second half would provide very little action, as Cumberland Valley played conservatively and penalties and miscues prevented State College from stringing to-gether a consistent drive.

While their defense played tough as always, it was clear that the Little Lions’ offense was helpless without Misher, who missed the game with an ankle injury.

“It’s tough but I’ll tell you, I couldn’t be prouder of (backup running back) Stan Martin and his efforts to-night,” Lintal said. “There was a lot of positives in that football game and a lot of great efforts upfront. We have to build off those positives.”

The Little Lions return home for their regular season fi-nale, taking on Mifflin County on Friday, Oct. 31, at 7 p.m.

Without Misher, State High falls to Cumberland Valley

Keiser suffers season-ending rib injury

By BEN JONESStateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State senior safety Ryan Keiser has been ruled out for the remainder of the season and head coach James Franklin recently went into detail regarding the injury.

According to a family statement read by Franklin, Keiser fractured a rib during practice on Oct. 23 while preparing for Penn State’s game against Ohio State.

As a result of the injury, Keiser suffered what Franklin described as a “small” bowel injury that required surgery to repair.

Franklin noted that Keiser is now in good spirits and recovering at the Hershey Medical Center.

“I love Ryan Keiser,” Franklin said. “I love everything about him.

“We can’t get him back here soon enough.”Keiser started the initial six games of the season at free

safety. Prior to the Ohio State game, he was No. 3 on the team with 25 tackles (17 solo), had the game-clinching in-terception at Rutgers and two pass break-ups.

The former Selinsgrove High School standout played in 42 of a possible 43 career games, with 11 starts.

Keiser made four career interceptions, including two in the end zone to clinch wins over Illinois and at Wisconsin last season. He graduated with a degree in kinesiology in August.

Penn State also announced on Oct. 27 that senior run-ning back Zach Zwinak would miss the remainder of the season with an injury. Franklin did not go into detail re-garding the injury during his teleconference, but the on-field injury appeared to be ankle- or leg-related. Zwinak was injured on the first play of the game on Penn State’s opening kick-off return against the Buckeyes.

Baseball league accepting new teams Kickoffs set for Maryland, IndianaBy BEN JONESStateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State will take on Maryland at noon on Saturday, Nov. 1, in Beaver Stadium, according to the Big Ten. The Nittany Lions will then travel to Indiana to face the Hoosiers on Satur-day, Nov. 8, for a game also scheduled for a noon start.

Coach James Franklin’s Nittany Lions will be hosting the Terrapins for the first time since 1992. The game will air on ESPN2. All-University Day and THON Day will be celebrated during the game.

Penn State and Maryland will be meet-ing for the 38th time, but the first time as Big Ten East Division rivals. The teams,

who will play annually starting this year, first met in 1917 and last played in 1993 in College Park. From 1960 to 1993, the Nittany Lions and Terps played every year except 1976, 1981 and 1983.

Penn State and Indiana will be meeting for the 18th time and have played every season since 2007. The Nittany Lions own a 16-1 on-field mark vs. Indiana, with the Hoosiers earning their first win in the se-ries last year in Bloomington. Three of the last four series games in Memorial Sta-dium have been decided by six points or fewer: 22-18 (2004), 36-31 (2007) and 16-10 (2011).

Penn State will be making its fourth ap-pearance of the season on BTN when it visits Indiana.


Week 10, from page 20

PENNS VALLEY (2-7) AT MOUNT UNION (9-0)

Penns Valley fi nishes its season with a trip to undefeated Mt. Union on Fri-day, Oct. 31. The Trojans, 9-0, have almost literally sailed through their schedule this season. Until their come-from-behind 44-41 win over Tussey Mountain on Oct. 24, the closest game the Trojans played was a 21-7 win over Bellwood-Antis on Sept. 26. Every other win has been by more than 29 points.

The numbers bear this out. Mt. Union gains more than 410 yards per game of offense, 280 each game on the ground. Against Tussey, the Trojans ran 25 times for 399 yards and six touch-downs.

Senior B.J. Loner leads the Mt. Union rushers with 60 carries for 794 yards and 16 touchdowns. But juniors D.J. Bookwalter and Robbie Steele have combined for more than 1,000 yards and eight touchdowns, while senior quarterback Trevon Walker has added another 504 yards and nine touch-downs.

In all, Mt. Union has run for 2,513 yards and 38 scores. Add another 1,024 yards passing and 14 touchdowns by Walker, and it’s easy to see why Mt. Union scores close to 40 points every game.

Penns Valley comes into the game limping after two big losses without dual-threat quarterback Ben Alexander. Sophomore Andrew Tobias has taken the reins for Penns Valley, but the Ram offense has struggled without the run-ning threat Alexander possesses.

And the Ram defense, on the fi eld more, has given up 83 points in those two games.

Look for Penns Valley to improve on offense as Tobias gains experience,

but everything will depend on whether or not the Ram defense can slow down the Trojans at all.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

PHILIPSBURG-OSCEOLA (0-9) AT BELLWOOD-ANTIS (7-2)

Philipsburg-Osceola has no easy task in trying to salvage a win in 2014 against 7-2 Bellwood-Antis on Friday, Oct. 31.

Bellwood-Antis two losses this sea-son have come to Tyrone, 18-14, and undefeated Mt. Union, 21-7. Oth-erwise, the Blue Devils have run the table. They come into the P-O game on a four-game win streak, and they are in the running for a high seed in the up-coming District 6 Class A playoffs.

Bellwood averages 340 yards of of-fense each game, with 229 of that com-ing on the ground. Senior Cameron Wood leads the runners for Bellwood with 117 carries for 750 yards and 13 touchdowns. Wood has help, howev-er, as there are fi ve other runners who have more than 130 on the ground this season, including senior Matt McMil-lan with 397 on 70 carries.

Junior Jake Burch is the quarterback, and he’s completed 60 of 104 passes for 866 yards and eight touchdowns.

Defensively, the Blue Devils are strong as well, and they have only given up 20 points total in their last three games.

For P-O, this will be the end of a dif-fi cult season, but the Mounties have played hard throughout. New coach Mike Soyster said his team’s practices have been productive and his players are taking things one game at a time.

It will be a challenge for the P-O of-fense — led by Jake Anderson and Tan-ner Lamb — to keep up with Bellwood, but the Mounties can move the ball.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. in Bellwood.

Young players learn fi eld hockey basics

Submitted photoMEMBERS OF THE Blue Lions fundamental fi eld hockey squads had a chance to walk out with Penn State fi eld hockey players for introductions at a recent game.

UNIVERSITY PARK — The Blue Lions fun-damental fi eld hockey players, ages kinder-garten through seventh grade, recently walked out on the fi eld with Penn State’s fi eld hockey players before a game, standing during the singing of the national anthem as “Lineup Buddies.”

Arts & eNtertAiNmeNt

STATE COLLEGE — What do exotic Hawaiian plants and mountain streams of Pennsylvania have in common?

They all come to life in the refined works of Diane Maurer, whose paper art and collage will be on display in Schlow Library’s Betsy Rodgers Allen Gallery dur-ing November.

Maurer is a mixed-media artist who specializes in creating images on paper using a variety of design techniques. Her collages combine marbling with orizome-gami (fold and dye), as well as paste paper design. Cutting and layering the decora-tive papers she creates, Maurer achieves a 3-D effect, bringing various images from nature to life.

Maurer’s art has been exhibited throughout the United States and in Eu-rope and Asia. She has made guest ap-pearances on several television shows, including “Martha Stewart Living.” Mau-rer has taught collage and surface design techniques in a number of venues, and is the author of 13 books about paper art and collage.

The Betsy Rodgers Allen Gallery is open to the public during Schlow’s business hours, and admission is free.

Goodfriends brings prints to Palmer Museum of ArtBy STEPHANIE SWINDLE

Special to the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — Art history professors, drawing stu-dents and print enthusiasts re-cently gathered in the Drs. Al-bert and Lorraine Kligman Print and Drawing Study Room at the Palmer Museum of Art for Jim and Carol Goodfriend’s annual visit. The couple, owners of C & J Goodfriend Drawings and Prints, have made an annual trip to Penn State for 12 years, bringing with them works by old masters such as Albrecht Dürer and Rem-brandt, pieces by American real-ists, 19th-century French works and, occasionally, even a Picasso.

“This is the best day we’ve had at Penn State!” exclaimed Carol Goodfriend. “So many students!”

Paul Chidester, associate pro-fessor of art in the Penn State School of Visual Arts, brought his 2-D drawing students to see the table full of different examples of prints and drawings. Many of the students asked questions and even sketched details in their notebooks.

Andrew Schulz, associate dean for research in the College of Arts and Architecture and as-sociate professor of art history, along with several other art his-tory faculty members, was in at-

tendance to browse the wealth of material, including a rare Pira-nesi proof impression, which the museum decided to purchase for the collection.

That morning, the Good-friends enjoyed a visit from Pat-rick McGrady’s history of print-making class. McGrady, Charles V. Hallman curator and affiliate assistant professor of art history, explained the Goodfriends’ long association with the museum, dating back to the 1970s when they made their first print dona-tions. The Goodfriends also have donated a print study collection to the museum for teaching pur-poses.

“Many prints have gotten rare and expensive, and you have to handle them very carefully,” said Jim Goodfriend, “but that’s not how you learn about them. The purpose of the study collection is to give students prints that they can touch to find out what 17th-century Dutch paper feels like, that they can lift to see the wa-termarks that appear when they hold them up to the light, that they can turn over to see what is printed or written on the backs of them. Although many of these study prints are damaged in some way and not worth much on the market, they are worth a great deal educationally speaking.”

After 46 years in the business and trips around the country sell-ing prints, the Goodfriends have limited their travel and are now focused on their website store and print fairs in New York City, where they reside.

Jim Goodfriend’s advice to as-piring print collectors is simple: “Find out what you like. Look, and keep looking. Don’t buy on the basis of a name or monetary value. When you can look at one, and say, ‘I’d really like to look at this every day of my life,’ then buy it or as close to it as you can afford.”

A classical music critic and re-cord producer in his earlier years, Goodfriend became interested in prints by doing exactly what he advises. He started by collect-ing music-themed prints and branched out from there. Now, as dealers, he and his wife offer prints spanning the last 500 years of art history up to the 1950s.

Carol Goodfriend expressed her satisfaction at seeing a new generation taking interest in drawings and prints. Ever the enthusiast, her advice to novices was to visit www.drawingsand prints.com, which has a section on how to buy drawings and prints as well as numerous care-fully annotated online exhibi-tions.

WPSU snags Mid-Atlantic EmmyUNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State Pub-

lic Media, WPSU, has won a 2014 Mid-Atlantic Emmy award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. These regional awards recognize local pro-ductions for excellence in television pro-gramming.

Mark Stitzer received an Individual Achievement Emmy in the Photographer–Program category. Stitzer’s entry submis-sion included video clips from “Water Blues, Green Solutions,” an interactive film project telling the stories of communities creating solutions for water “blues” — flooding, pollution and scarcity.

Additionally, WPSU’s Jeffrey A. Hughes was one of six people honored by being in-ducted into the inaugural class of the 2014 National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Silver Circle.

The new award was created to honor those within the Mid-Atlantic chapter who have been valuable colleagues, mentors,

contributors and advocates in the televi-sion industry.

Hughes has been working at Penn State Public Media since 1987. He earned a Mid-Atlantic Emmy for Best Entertainment Program/Special in 2010 for “Music The-atre Spotlight,” a program that showcases the senior class of Penn State’s renowned musical theater degree program.

Hughes also won an Emmy in 2009 as executive producer for “Making the Blue Band,” a behind-the-scenes film that fol-lows incoming freshmen through audi-tions and the grueling days of band camp as they pursue their goal of playing in the Penn State Blue Band.

The Mid-Atlantic Emmy Awards, now in their 32nd year, recognize excellence in programming and individual achievement in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and parts of West Virginia and Ohio. Winners were announced at a ceremony on Sept. 20 at the Philadelphia Hilton.

PSU alum wins major American first book prize

STATE COLLEGE — The 2014 Ameri-can Poetry Review/Honickman First Book Prize has been awarded to Katherine Bode-Lang, a graduate of Penn State’s creative writing MFA program.

Bode-Lang’s manuscript, “The Refor-mation,” was chosen by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Stephen Dunn and is being released this month.

Bode-Lang, who previously taught in the English department as a lecturer, joined the Office for Research Protections as an IT trainer this July.

Previously, she was assistant director of the Methodology Center in Penn State’s College of Health and Human Develop-ment for four years.

In an interview with the blog MFA Day Job, Bode-Lang said, “I’m fortunate to have had very open-minded supervisors. That is, people who were willing to see my potential, not just my poetry degree.”

In his introduction to the book, Stephen Dunn writes, “One of the classic tricks of actors is when you want to get the atten-tion of your audience, you lower, not raise,

your voice. Katherine Bode-Lang’s work is not a trick — her lowered voice kept at-tracting me.”

Julia Spicher Kas-dorf, Penn State professor of English and women’s stud-ies, said, “Katherine Bode-Lang writes with the rational mind of Calvin, the passionate heart of Luther, and the brav-

ery of her own body. Driven by difficulty and dissent, haunted by ‘all the small/openings for death,’ her lines turn gor-geous and furious, intelligent and belliger-ent, witty and wise. This poet abhors a lie, and by insisting on the truth of her own experience, she finds ways to reform the old stories of family, faith, sex and most of all, love. I cannot remember reading a first book as painfully honest and beautiful as this.”

Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts elects officers, directors

STATE COLLEGE — The Central Penn-sylvania Festival of the Arts elected new of-ficers and members of the board of direc-tors during its annual meeting on Oct. 21.

Joyce Robinson, the newly elected board president, is a curator at the Palmer Museum of Art at Penn State, where she is also an affiliate associate professor of art history, teaching courses primarily in the fields of American and African-American art.

Steve Watson, the board’s new vice president, is a university planner with Penn State’s Division of Campus Planning and Design in the Office of Physical Plant.

The newly chosen treasurer is Bob Hicks, a retired corporate financial officer.

And, Sue Haug, director of Penn State’s School of Music, is the board’s new secre-tary.

Kristen Coombs was elected to a three-year term on the board. She is a financial adviser with Shute and Coombs in State College and the owner of New Life Financial LLC, a financial divorce-plan-ning firm. Also elected to a three-year term was Diana Malcom, an associate in ministry at State College Presbyterian Church.

The Central Pennsylvania Festival of

the Arts was founded in 1967 by the State College Chamber of Commerce and Penn State University’s College of Arts and Ar-chitecture. It now encompasses five days of arts programming.

Approximately 100,000 people visit the festival each summer, and visiting the Arts Fest is considered a key part of the Penn State student and alumni experience.

In 2014, the Arts Festival was ranked by Sunshine Artist magazine as number three on its list of the 100 best outdoor fine art and fine craft fairs in the United States.

Getting a mortgage in new lending environmentThe 2008 real estate bust led to the

“Great Recession.” Banks were lending 100 percent on homes to people who couldn’t

afford it. The issue was that everyone believed real estate would al-ways go up and that everyone should own a home — the reality is that home prices don’t go up forever, and eventually the bubble burst.

Just as with any regulatory environ-ment, when times are good, the rules get loose. Times have changed and now the pendulum has swung too far the other away.

While interest rates are still at near-record lows, mortgage loans are harder to obtain. What can you do to make it an easier pro-

cess?First, check your credit score. You

should do this long before you begin the process of looking for a loan. This will give you time to correct mistakes or improve upon your credit record.

It is vital to make all payments on time and use credit.

This means charging things on a credit card and always paying it off every month. This shows an ability to use credit intel-ligently and responsibly.

It is important to keep your oldest credit card open.

This maintains a long credit history on your statement. In addition, different kinds of credit are important.

Paying for a car loan, student debt and any credit cards (revolving loans) will con-tribute to a good credit score.

In contrast, don’t overextend yourself with loans or credit, because taking on too much is never a good idea. Having a good credit score will help you get credit and a lower interest rate, and can even help with getting insurance. It is always in your best interest.

When looking for a house, really take a hard look at your budget.

Your dream home may be out of range and the bank may be willing to give you a

loan that will stretch your budget. It is bet-ter to go for a loan that is for less than you can afford.

Don’t forget to include taxes, upkeep and insurance in your equation. Also, keep in mind that at such low interest rates and with the expectation that they will go up, a fixed-rate loan is the only thing that makes sense right now.

When you do find a home, check com-parable homes recently sold in the neigh-borhood.

The most expensive home in the neighborhood may not be appraised high enough to cover your loan. Banks now have to hire outside appraisers who may not know the area, particularly in State College. It seems to be one of the major issues with house loans: the appraisal doesn’t come in at the agreed-upon pur-chase price, so the loan is not approved.

It is important to have a down payment for the house you want.

A 20 percent down payment is neces-sary in the current environment; it will help in getting a loan and obtaining a bet-ter interest rate.

You’ll want to start early and put money in a savings account to prepare for buying

a home. You will need the 20 percent down pay-

ment plus additional money to cover any closing costs, furniture and other expenses that come with owning a home.

When the time has come to begin look-ing for your home, a pre-qualification let-ter from your lender of choice will pave the way.

A seller and real estate agent will want to know that you have the ability to get a loan that’s big enough to cover the price of the real estate they are showing you. Having this letter doesn’t make getting a loan easier, but it does help sellers and real estate agents take you seriously.

The bottom line — when you find the real estate you want and your offer is ac-cepted, that’s when the real fun starts. Be ready to sign forms in triplicate, prove your income (particularly if you are self-em-ployed) and hit many speed bumps along the way.

It’s a long process, so be sure to give your lender plenty of time for approval be-fore close.

To speed up the process, getting the bank any documentation it needs immedi-ately can help.

How the ‘five Ps’ of integrated marketing helped sell $800 sneakers

Have you heard about Buscemi, the brand of $800 sneakers? The year-old shoe is a “must have” for hip hop art-ists and other celebrities, twice selling out its entire inventory in a matter of days.

How did Buscemi achieve so much, so fast? The company leveraged each of the “five Ps” of integrated market-ing:

■ Product — Buscemis are unique. The shoes are solid-colored leather with golden padlocks and a tiny key to open them. You can’t miss the “Made in Italy” wording on the tongue and the understated Buscemi logo on the side.

■ Position — These are the Louis Vuitton of sneakers. A luxury brand for the rich and famous to have, and wan-nabes to want.

■ Price — At $800, the sneakers are so costly that only the wealthy can af-ford them, thereby furthering the lux-ury brand position. In fact, co-founder

Jon Buscemi has said in interviews that he’s not selling to

just anyone who wants the shoes.■ Placement — Buscemi takes the sneaker industry’s

limited edition marketing strategy to the extreme. The brand is based on scarcity, one of marketing expert and social scientist Dr. Robert Cialdini’s “principles of influ-ence.” Only 4,000 pairs were released in each of the first two production runs via a select group of hip retailers. The shoes sold out in a couple of days and were unavailable for months in between, stoking demand even more.

■ Promotion — The company relied on word-of-mouth buzz initially followed by “star PR.” Justin Bieber posted his Buscemis on Instagram, while hip hop artist 2 Chainz rapped about the shoes. The buzz continues to grow.

What’s the takeaway for you and your company? You’re not selling and probably not buying $800 sneak-

ers. But whether you work in health care, education, man-ufacturing or retail, you definitely need to leverage the “five Ps” of integrated marketing.

Your marketing should create the customer experience and drive, not support, your selling process. Your brand position must be clear and make an emotional impact. Messaging should involve and revolve around your cus-tomers. Pricing and distribution must be consistent with your integrated marketing goals.

In other words, make your product or service a “must have” for your target customer.

Ethical behavior can be contagious, study says UNIVERSITY PARK — A new study from Penn State

Smeal College of Business faculty members Steven Hud-dart, Smeal Chair Professor of Accounting and Department of Accounting chair, and Hong Qu, an associate professor of accounting, examines the power of social influence on managers’ ethical behavior.

The researchers found that managers tend to become more honest after observing honest peers and more dis-honest after observing dishonest peers.

Through their research, Huddart and Qu found a con-nection between honest behavior and the desire to obey social norms.

In absence of information about peers, they found, “People with a greater tendency to conform to social norms are, on average, more honest.”

However, the researchers found that managers tend to adjust their responses based on information about their peers.

If managers find that their peers are acting more hon-estly, those managers adjust to be more honest.

On the other hand, if managers find that their peers are acting more dishonestly, the managers adjust to be less honest.

The more that a person was found likely to conform to social norms, the more this variation was evident.

“Our study shows the importance of social information in shaping actions. In particular, we identify one channel through which social information affects behavior, that is, the motivation to conform to the actions of others,” they wrote. “The observation of others can lead to behavior changes in different ways because the behavior of others can establish benchmarks for social comparisons in mul-tiple dimensions.”

“Rotten Apples and Sterling Examples: Moral Reason-ing and Peer Influences on Honesty in Managerial Report-ing” is forthcoming and is available for download at http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2133072.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Students and community mem-bers gathered in Schwab Auditorium the evening of Oct. 23 to take in real and actionable career and financial advice from two famous Penn State alumni.

Thomson Reuters Money Editor Lauren Young, as the event’s host, interviewed Andy Sieg, head of Global Wealth and Retirement Solutions (GWRS) for Bank of America Merrill Lynch. The pair discussed the topic of “Your Ca-reer, Your Impact” as part of the Schreyer Honors College Shaping the Future Summit 2015.

Schreyer Honors College Dean Christian M.M. Brady began the event by noting that this week marked the 27th

anniversary of the stock market crash in 1987. William Schreyer was the head of Merrill Lynch at the

time and was key in the market’s bounce back and calm-ing the public’s concern. Dean Brady concluded his re-marks by asking the audience, “Where is today’s William Schreyer?”

Sieg started the discussion by telling students to erase pre-conceived notions about industry sectors and prepare for a long and dynamic career.

“Your career is going to be 50 percent longer than you think it will be. There’s plenty of time to pursue your pas-sion now,” Sieg said.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Unless student entrepreneurs have generous friends and family or happen to stumble upon some angel investors — people who invest money and expect no repayment — chanc-es are that they’ll need some fi nancial help to launch a business.

Traditional investments from banks and venture capitalists can provide large sums of money, but often at the cost of exorbitant loan repayments and large percentages of equity in your company.

Thus, most entrepreneurs prefer alterna-tive sources of funding and only use the traditional means as a last resort.

Penn State’s Small Business Develop-ment Center, with its experienced consul-tants and network of campus and com-munity partners, can help in the search for alternative funding to start a business. Free consulting is available by appointment or drop-in at Kunkle Lounge from 4 to 5 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

There are other great resource available

to Penn State student entrepreneurs, too.Crowdfunding — raising many small

amounts of money from a large number of people — has grown in popularity over the last several years. According to Penn State’s Offi ce of Annual Giving, crowd-funding raised more than $5 billion last year worldwide, making it the number one channel for raising money online.

Penn State began the SparkPlug pro-gram in 2011, offering grants of up to $500 to student groups to help start their own

crowdfunding campaigns. This year, the university is going a step further by part-nering with USEED to host its own crowd-funding platform for student organiza-tions, faculty-led research projects and other university programs.

Teams will be accepted into the USEED program each semester and will be men-tored in crowdfunding before launching their own 30-day campaign on the plat-form. According to USEED, teams that go through their program average $5,000 raised per campaign.

Lion Launch Pad helps student entre-preneurs create companies out of innova-tive product and service ideas. It provides selected teams with rent-free workspace, mentorship from skilled professionals both on-campus and in the community, and funding in three different forms: no-payback seed grants of up to $500, loans and equity investments at 1 percent for every $1,000 invested. Teams comprised of more than 51 percent Penn State students are eligible to apply.

Those interested in testing the viabil-ity of a product or service idea in a certain market should consider applying for a re-search grant.

Most colleges at the university will offer grants to help defray research costs for un-dergraduate students if the work pertains to academia. Students should ask their ad-visers about upcoming business competi-tions and programs.

For example, the College of Agricultural Sciences holds the Ag Springboard busi-ness plan competition annually, offering $7,500 and a spot with Lion Launch Pad to the winning team. Then there’s the 1,000 Pitches competition, hosted at Penn State by Innoblue. The contest collects short video pitches for businesses or solutions to world issues in nine different categories and awards $1,000 to the winner of each category.

For more tips about alternative fund-raising from successful entrepreneurs, don’t forget to join the SBDC for Penn State’s Global Entrepreneurship Week, Sunday, Nov. 16, to Thursday, Nov. 20, for a series of informational and interactive events directed at students and commu-nity members interested in entrepreneur-ship.
