STATE COLLEGE — Three State CollegePolice Department staffers were promotedon Aug. 8 during a special ceremony insidecouncil chambers at the State College Bor-ough Municipal Building on Allen Street.

Sgt. Barrett C. Smith was promoted tolieutenant, and officers Charles Hamiltonand Todd A. Scholton were promoted to ser-geant.

Smith, Hamilton and Scholton werehonored by police Chief Tom King andjoined by family and friends, as well as vari-ous members of the community, includingState College Mayor Elizabeth Goreham.

State College Borough Manager TomFontaine opened the ceremony by sayingthe event is a “tremendous opportunity torecognize our outstanding police officers.”

King then introduced Hamilton, whowas hired by the State College Police De-partment in March 2006.

Hamilton, King said, was assigned to theuniversity patrol division, as well as other

divisions.“(He) performed exceptionally well,” at

his various tasks, King said.Hamilton also has been trained in crisis

intervention and has been active with theyouthful offenders program, King said.

Hamilton has an “outstanding atten-dance record,” King said, and in 2011 re-ceived a lifesaving award.

“(He’s) very capable, pleasant and a pro-fessional officer,” King said, and he has a“strong work ethic.”

Hamilton then took some time to ad-dress the audience. He said he thanks hiswife and two daughters, as well as the StateCollege Police Department.

King then introduced Scholton, who hasexperience as a field training officer, waspart of a crisis intervention team, and in1998 helped establish a canine program.

King said through his “many trainings,”Scholton has received “excellent perform-ance evaluations,” and over the past sixyears has received recognition for his trafficenforcement activities. Scholton also re-ceived two lifesaving awards, King said; one

in 2008 and one in 2012.Scholton is a “team player,” King said,

who is not afraid to take charge when ap-propriate, and holds “strong ethical val-ues.”

Scholton then addressed the attendees:“(There are) too many people to thank,” hesaid.

The people he works with, Scholton said,are his “No. 1 driving force in my career.”

He isn’t able to do his job without thesupport of his family, he said.

Scholton said he’s been doing policework for 20 or 21 years.

“I look forward to what the next 10 or soyears bring,” he said.

Next, King introduced Smith, who he de-scribed as someone who has continuouslyperformed “exceptionally well” in his ca-reer.

Smith has been involved in many assign-ments, including the Centre County DrugTask Force and fire investigation. Smith waseven appointed as a Centre Region fire mar-

The event was sponsored by First NationalBank and featured a reception catered by BJCstaff, games for children and live entertainmentfrom Bo Belly the Clown and the Nittany All-StarCheerleaders. United Way speakers discussedtheir hopes for the community and their goals forthis year’s general campaign.

The program began with remarks by TomMcKee, chairman of the Centre County UnitedWay Board of Directors.

In thanking the community for all its hardwork, McKee said though the past nine monthshave been difficult for Centre County, one thingstill remains clear: “We’re a community thatcares for each other and we (the United Way) willcontinue to support one another through philan-thropy, volunteerism and loyalty to our partneragencies,” he said.

O’Brien, Lions lookto season opener

By CHRIS [email protected]

UNIVERSITY PARK — More than 200reporters crammed into the media roomat Beaver Stadium on Aug. 9 as Penn StateUniversity ushered in a new era of NittanyLion football.

It was the first Media Day for first-yearhead coach Bill O’Brien, who takes overfor the late Joe Paterno, who was fired onNov. 9 in the midst of a child sex abusescandal involving his former defensive co-ordinator, Jerry Sandusky.

Since O’Brien has taken over, the foot-ball program was hit with some of theharshest penalties in NCAA history. In ad-dition to a record $60 million fine, scholar-ships were taken away, 112 wins were va-cated and the Nittany Lions have beenbanned from postseason play for four

years.During the course of the news confer-

ence, O’Brien talked a lot about movingthe program forward.

“Instead of saying it’s us against them,let’s go out and play good football andthink about the fact that maybe this is a lit-tle bit about more than football,” O’Briensaid. “This is about helping a community.This is about bringing more awareness,much more awareness to child abuse. Thisis about making sure that we help lead thisuniversity. Not lead it, but be a part ofleading this university through the nextthree or four years that will be a challenge,but that’s what life is about.”

Earlier last week, it was announced thatPenn State’s jerseys will feature player’slast names for the first time in the history

shal, King said.Smith has completed “countless trainings,” King said,

such as that conducted by FEMA.He could also be recognized for his attendance, King

said, in which he has averaged about one sick day a year inmore than 14 years.

Smith has held various volunteer positions with theAlpha Fire Co., including president and treasurer, Kingsaid.

“(He’s) very organized (and has) great communicationskills,” King said.

Smith understands the goals of the administration andmakes great “day-to-day judgment,” as well as motivatesothers, King said.

Smith then addressed the crowd by thanking everyone,including his family, the police department, friends andco-workers.

“I’m only up here because everyone around me hasbeen here to help me out,” Smith said, “so thank you.”

Also during the ceremony, retired Lt. John S. Wilson wasrecognized for his 28 years of service to the police depart-

ment.King said over the years, Wilson has received many pro-

motions and has been a part of many assignments. In 1991 he was promoted to arson investigator, and in

1997 he helped develop a domestic violence and sexual as-sault unit. He implemented a school resource officer pro-gram in 1998, King said, and in 2004 was assigned to thepatrol division.

Through his work investigating suspicious fires as a firemarshal, Wilson was named an expert in the cause and ori-gin of fire by the Centre County Court of Common Pleas,King said.

King described Wilson as “very sensitive to victims andtheir well-being.”

King also said Wilson is “fair, friendly, considerate andcaring towards everyone,” and “though it’s belated, it can’tplease me more to recognize you (Wilson) in front of fami-ly and friends.”

Wilson addressed the crowd and said it has been an“honor and privilege” to work with everyone.

After the ceremony, the officers were given plaques.For more information on the State College Police De-

partment, visit www.statecollegepa.us.

of the program. Although players appear to be excitedabout the change, the move is getting mixed reviews fromfans.

O’Brien tried to explain why fans will see the namesstarting Sept. 1.

“I’m very respectful of the traditions here, very respect-ful. But it’s a new era of Penn State football in many ways,”he said, “and the reason for the names on the back of thejersey is … I want people to recognize the fact that these arekids that are special, competitive kids that care about edu-cation, that care about Penn State, and have gone throughsome tough times over the last year as a team, individually,and they’ve stuck with us. I think that says a lot about thesekids and I want people to recognize these kids.”

Following a lengthy news conference, O’Brien made hisway inside Beaver Stadium where he posed for a teamphoto and continued talking with members of the media.

There have been some cosmetic changes to the stadi-um. Equipment boxes along the sideline now promote awebsite, www.pennstateoneteam.com, and a Twitter ac-count, #oneteam.

As the players made their way out of the tunnel, it wasclear that the uniforms had not been updated. In additionto the names on the backs, there will be a blue ribbonadded to the front to pay tribute to victims of child abuse.

“Going into this year, the most important patch on theuniform is the blue patch and ribbon that will signify put-ting an end to child abuse,” O’Brien said. “To me, that isthe most important patch on the uniform.”


United Way, from page 1

McKee went on to send a veryspecial thank-you to First Na-tional Bank for its sponsorship ofthe event and its continued Unit-ed Way support and employee in-volvement over the years.

Pacesetter Campaign Co-chairwomen Mindy Dillon ofSovereign Bank and ColleenWilliams of HRG took to thepodium next to announce the re-sults of their fundraising cam-paign.

Dillon and Williams workedwith 35 Pacesetter companiesand the 37 United Way partneragencies to start the year outright and set the bar high for the2012 United Way fundraising sea-son.

Dillon said at the Hope ForKids kickoff event on June 5, sheand Williams were more thanready to get to work.

Since then, Pacesetter compa-nies and partner agencies havebeen busy running their employ-ee campaigns to raise money forthe United Way.

“These 35 companies are vitalcomponents of the overall cam-paign as they set the bar for thelevel of giving and really harnessthe momentum to move us for-ward. They (the companies) arecreative, committed and com-passionate people who are mak-ing an impact in our communi-ty,” Williams said.

According to Dillon, the Unit-ed Way board members and staffalso make their financial pledgesduring the Pacesetter campaign.

“They are not only doing theirbest to raise money in the com-munity, but they are also con-tributing personally to the cam-paign. It means a lot to have theagencies, the board and the staffso committed to improving livesin Centre County,” she said.

With the announcement of acampaign total of $538,581, Dil-lon and Williams believe a state-ment that supports the UnitedWay is the right thing to do.

To do the right thing, commu-nity members were encouragedto join the United Way’s YoungLeaders group, co-chaired byDenise McCann of the CentreCounty Youth Service Bureau andSusan McWhirter of Penn State.

To be a Young Leader andqualify at a leadership level ofgiving, donors who are 45 oryounger contribute a minimumof $500 to the campaign eachyear.

“But that’s not all we are. Weare community members whoare excited about philanthropy,volunteering and finding ways topositively impact our communi-ty,” McWhirter said.

She explained that YoungLeaders have the opportunity toparticipate in service projectsthat benefit United Way partneragencies.

Campaign co-chairmen HughMose, of CATA, and Nick Lingen-felter, then introduced those inattendance to the new campaignstructure, which will be used thisyear.

Mose explained that the newmodel will no longer focus on thegeographical structure that hasbeen used in the past. Instead,the campaign will now focus ondivisions that are designed tofocus on how the campaign actu-ally functions. Four separate divi-sions including business out-reach, campaign ambassador,donor affinity and Penn Stateambassador will now help to bet-ter aid the United Way.

“We know with the support ofour campaign team, local busi-nesses, Penn State and our com-munity, which is so rich with car-ing people, we can make an im-

pact. We can improve lives. Thekey to our success will be work-ing together as one communityunited,” Lingenfelter said.

He said because the commu-nity has been through such a dif-ficult year, the theme of “OneCommunity United” could nothave come at a better time.

“We’re still here. We are still acommunity of caring, capable,compassionate and proud peo-ple. I know that together, we arestronger. We are one communityunited,” he said.

To add a personal touch, Ce-clysta Strouse shared her story offirst supporting the United Wayand then receiving help from theprogram after the loss of her vi-sion.

“Through these organizations,it has allowed me to still be an in-dependent person with just a lit-tle bit of help. I really, truly feelthat all of the organizations havebeen fantastic in helping me outand they deserve your supportback,” she said.

To close out the program,

Tammy Gentzel, executive direc-tor of the Centre County UnitedWay, expressed that on any givenday, anyone in the communitycould need the help of the UnitedWay.

“Thanks for helping us to en-sure that help will be there for allof us, if and when we need it.Thank you for being one commu-nity … united,” she said.

Trustee McCombie stillpursuing NCAA appeal

By LAURA NICHOLSStateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn Statetrustee Ryan McCombie has not with-drawn his appeal of the NCAA sanctionsand has no plans to do so, counsel PaulKelly confirmed Monday.

Kelly, a Boston-based attorney with thefirm Jackson Lewis LLP, released the fol-lowing statement immediately after theBoard of Trustees’ teleconference wrappedup Sunday evening around 7 p.m.

“If you were listening to the Board ofTrustees call this evening, I want to clarifythat Mr. McCombie has agreed to tem-porarily suspend prosecution of the re-cently filed NCAA appeal to allow theBoard proceedings recommended by Mr.(Joel) Myers to occur in a full and deliber-ate manner. He has not agreed to a with-drawal of the appeal.

“While Trustee McCombie fully sup-ports President Erickson and his commit-ment to protecting the current and futureinterests of Penn State University, he stillintends to challenge the unfair, unwar-ranted and unlawful actions of the NCAAand the excessive sanctions imposed.”

Kelly, who has been a trial lawyer formore than 30 years and is a member ofhis firm’s Collegiate and ProfessionalSports Industry Group, also representsthe eight former Penn State football play-ers and a former assistant coach who filedan appeal of the NCAA sanctions lastweek, seeking retribution for the 111 va-cated wins, among other alleged wrong-doing.

Currently, there is no timetable regard-ing court dates, as the appellants wait forthe NCAA to act, Kelly said, which couldtake anywhere from 10 days to two weeks.

There are essentially three options,which Kelly outlined: 1. The NCAA can re-

spond to the party who filed the noticeand set up a timetable for the next stepsof action. 2. The NCAA can respond andsay the party has no argument and fur-ther action will not be taken, or 3. TheNCAA can ignore the party’s appeal en-tirely.

Kelly said typically the NCAA will re-spond.

“The ball is squarely in their court,”Kelly said. “What’s interesting is thereisn’t any precedent for what’s occurredhere.”

In major infraction cases, there is usu-ally an investigation carried out by theNCAA followed by a hearing, held in Indi-ana, where the NCAA is headquartered,Kelly said.

“In this particular case, the NCAAfailed to follow its own constitution andbylaws. They’ve created a new set of pro-cedures no one’s ever seen before,” Kellysaid. “No one knows how to respond.”

The Paterno family was the first to filean appeal with the NCAA on Aug. 3, citingtheir desire to overturn the “enormousdamage” done to Penn State and thecommunity.

On Sunday, the Board of Trustees metvia teleconference. While they made nomotions and did not take a vote, Chair-woman Karen Peetz gave each trustee theopportunity to speak. All expressed theirsupport for Penn State President RodenyErickson, who signed the NCAA’s bindingconsent decree on July 23.

However, trustee Lubrano said he didnot agree with the NCAA sanctions.

Sanctions dealt to Penn State include a$60 million fine, which will go toward afund administered by Penn State that willgo toward abuse victims, a significant lossof scholarships, a four-year bowl ban andall wins between 1998-2011 being vacat-ed.


UNIVERSITY PARK — Survivors of child-hood sexual abuse Sugar Ray Leonard andElizabeth Smart are just two on a list of fea-tured guests and experts who will speak atPenn State’s National Conference on ChildSexual Abuse in October.

The Child Sexual Abuse Conference, ti-tled Traumatic Impact, Prevention, and In-tervention will be held Oct. 29-30 at thePenn Stater Conference Center Hotel. It willbring together some of the nation’s top ex-perts in child sexual abuse and child traumaresearch, prevention, and treatment for apublic forum on this nationwide problem.

Penn State spokesman Dave La Torre re-leased the university’s announcement thismorning.

The two-day conference will feature dis-cussions with Sugar Ray Leonard and Eliza-beth Smart, both of whom suffered sexualabuse as children. Leonard, an Americanboxing icon and Olympic gold medalist, willdeliver a keynote address and participate ina Q&A with attendees, while Smart willserve as the conference’s closing speaker.The event will also include nationally recog-nized experts in the field of child sexualabuse and child trauma from across acade-mia, including:

■ Dr. David Finkelhor, director of theCrimes against Children Research Center atthe University of New Hampshire

■ Dr. Penelope Trickett, David LawrenceStein/Violet Goldberg Sachs Professor ofMental Health in the School of Social Workat the University of Southern California

■ Lucy Berliner, director of the Har-borview Center for Sexual Assault and Trau-matic Stress; clinical associate professor atthe University of Washington School of So-cial Work and Department of Psychiatry andBehavioral Sciences.

Registration as well as more information

on the conference is available to the generalpublic at protectchildren.psu.edu/.

“More than nine percent of childrenwere victims of sexual abuse in 2010, ac-cording to the latest national survey, andthis doesn’t take into account severe under-reporting of this crime. Research shows thatchild sexual abuse affects children of allages, both genders, and all ethnicities andsocioeconomic backgrounds. No group ofchildren is exempt. Nonetheless, it remainsan issue that the nation finds difficult to talkabout,” said Kate Staley, a researcher at thePenn State Justice Center for Research, a co-organizer of the event.

“This conference will bring togethercompelling speakers who are experts inchild sexual abuse and child trauma andwho know how to translate their knowledgefor the general public. We believe this eventwill raise awareness of this national prob-lem and teach all of us how to better protectour children,” she said.

Organized by the Penn State Justice Cen-ter for Research and Penn State Outreach,the conference will address a variety of top-ics, including the traumatic impact of childsexual abuse, evidence-based methods oftreatment and prevention, characteristics ofpedophiles including their use of the inter-net as a gateway for child sexual abuse, andthe legal issues involved in a child abuse in-vestigation.

It is designed to help educate the publicin Pennsylvania and across the nation aboutthis critical issue.

Partnering on the conference arethe Penn State Hershey Center for the Pro-tection of Children,Child Study Center, Pre-vention Research Center, and the Penn StateCenter for Children and the Law. Other par-ticipating organizations include the Penn-sylvania Coalition Against Rape, theNation-al Sexual Violence Resource Center, andthe National Center for Missing & ExploitedChildren.

By DALE McFEATTERSScripps Howard News Service

Just under 80 million students, kindergarten throughgrad school, are heading back to the classroom. Some ofthem surely worry whether their education will get them ajob and whether they’ll be able to pay for that education.

But these are gloomy thoughts for another time. Back-to-school is a happy time — especially for retailers, who ex-pect to take in $83 billion equipping and outfitting theyoung scholars.

The National Retail Federation says that back-to-schoolis the year’s second biggest spending event after theChristmas holidays and that consumers spend more thanon Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Easter and Father’s Daycombined.

Americans went through some lean times and had tocut back on school spending, but retailers’ figures showthey are still willing to open their wallets for their school-age children.

The average person with k-12 children will spend an av-erage of $688.62 to get a youngster ready for school, thefederation predicts. That is up markedly over last year’s$603.63. The federation’s economists are reluctant to callthis a sign that the economy is coming back, althoughmost signs point in that direction. They say it is due moreto parents replenishing and replacing clothes and suppliesfrom those lean years.

There was a similar healthy increase in outlays for col-lege students, an average of $907.22 versus $808.71 lastyear.

A federation official said, “If it’s one thing the economyhas changed, it’s how people shop.”

For starters, they’re beginning to shop earlier to spreadout costs. They are more attentive to sales and promotions,and they shop at discount stores and favor stores’ privatelabels.

Increasingly, they shop online. About 40 percent of par-ents and students will shop the Internet, nearly double the21 percent who did so in 2007 and almost quadruple the10.9 percent who did so in 2003.

The anomaly in online shopping is that it doesn’t ap-pear to have been done for budgetary reasons. The onlineshopper will spend $874 — 27 percent more than the aver-age for K-12.

Another sign of improvement, even if the retailers arereluctant to say so, is that fewer college-age students willlive at home: 42.9 percent this year versus 52.9 percent lastyear. One-quarter will live in campus housing.

Let us hope that all those school supplies, clothes andelectronics pay off in a job and a career rather than a fold-out couch in Mom’s basement.

Saving Medicare the Ryan wayI’m guessing that Senate Demo-

cratic leader Harry Reid isn’t actuallya “dirty liar,” which is what Republi-can National Committee chair Reince

Priebus calledhim last week onnational televi-sion.

That is to say, Isuspect it’s morelikely that some-one actually didtell Reid that MittRomney hasn’tpaid any taxes for10 years thanthat Reid justmade the storyup. Reid says thathis informantwas a Bain in-vestor, and in theultra-competitiveworld of high fi-nance in whichBain investorsoperate — atleast the kindprivileged to talkon the phonewith the Senate

majority leader — it’s probably nothard to find one rich man who’s will-ing to say something bad about an-other.

I’m guessing that’s what hap-pened. This isn’t to say that the alle-gation is actually true.

Nor am I interested in defendingthe propriety of Reid’s allegation,with its scant, anonymous evidenceand no proof.

But surely Reid’s questionable

comment calls for a little context:Why is Priebus so shocked that amember of the opposition raises anunsupported allegation in the finalstages of an election that may have animpact on the country for years? Thestakes are high and both sides aredesperate to win.

Of course, not every tactic is justi-fied. But it’s worth noting that NPRinterviewed an unemployed Floridacitizen last week who said he’d beenspending a lot of time listening toRush Limbaugh and believes BarackObama “hates white people.”

Also last week, Sean Hannity inter-viewed a Las Vegas odds-makerwhose “gut” tells him Obama attend-ed Columbia and Harvard as a for-eign-exchange student on an Indone-sian passport.

He says nobody at Columbia re-members Obama, maybe because hewas “too busy smoking pot, attendingMarxist meetings, and plotting thedestruction of the U.S. economy andthe overthrow of capitalism.” But theodds-maker says his “gut is almost al-ways right.”

The Web is replete with doctoredphotographs of Obama with thewrong hand over his heart during aperformance of “The Star-SpangledBanner.” Last week, an email arrivedwith pictures of the Cook County (Ill.)Correctional Center’s luxurious pris-oners’ quarters, complete with ping-pong tables, weight rooms and televi-sions in every well-appointed cell, allcourtesy of Barack Obama. It turnsout that the facility pictured is in Aus-tria.

And “birtherism” just won’t die.

In short, this is a winner-take all,no-holds-barred brawl of an election,and the suggestion that Romney mayhave paid no taxes for a decade seemsmild in the context of the mud that’sbeen thrown the other way.

Of course, you may say that it’sone thing for private citizens likeLimbaugh, Hannity and mostlyanonymous Web phonies to flingdisingenuous muck in Obama’s di-rection, but quite another when theculprit is the majority leader of theU.S. Senate.

Your point is well taken. At thesame time, Republicans haven’t re-frained from using the offices of gov-ernment to manipulate any advan-tage, no matter how slight, in whatpromises to be a close election.

At least 33 states have implement-ed voter ID laws under the ostensiblynoble guise of putting an end to voterfraud. But voter fraud is extremely in-frequent, and it’s clear that thesevoter ID laws, mostly proposed andpassed by Republican legislaturesand governors, are meant to suppressthe vote among the poor, the elderly,minorities and students, groups thattend to vote Democratic.

In an election this close, the disen-franchisement of, by some estimates,as many as 5 million citizens couldswing the election.

So, there’s Reid’s injudicious alle-gation, which may or may not be true.Then there’s a systematic campaignby one party to keep voters who aremore likely to vote for the other partyaway from the polls.

Which one is most likely to do seri-ous harm to our republic?

HEALTH & WELLNESS

In matters of the heart, every seconddoes indeed count.

Heart disease is still the leading cause ofdeath of men and women in the U.S., and

it’s a very unforgivingand often asympto-matic disease. Al-though the rate ofdeaths from heart at-tacks is going downnationally, there arestill an overwhelmingnumber of patientswith heart disease lo-cally.

If you even suspectyou have any symp-toms of a heart attack— chest pressure,tightness, jaw pain, achoking sensation,feeling dizzy, tinglingin the arms or legs,stomach ache or short-ness of breath — it’simportant to take swiftaction.

In fact, most peopledo not experience thecrushing chest pain we

often commonly associate with heartproblems.

If you think you’re having heart issues,call 911 and ask for an ambulance. Theemergency medical technicians (EMTs)know what to do and what to look for inthese situations. Do not call a friend or rel-ative and ask them to drive you to the hos-pital. You may lose precious moments that

could save your life. In Centre County, EMTs carry a portable

monitor that wirelessly transmits the re-sults of an EKG to our Emergency Depart-ment. If a patient is suspected of having aheart attack, the patient will be taken di-rectly to the Mount Nittany Medical Cen-ter’s Cardiac Catheterization Lab, which isavailable 24/7 with a team of cardiac spe-cialists who can assess the heart’s condi-tion for an emergency catheterization.

This procedure evaluates blood flow tothe heart and uses angioplasty and stentsto open up arteries if possible. Stents —which are small, metallic mesh tubes thatsupport the artery walls — may be placedin the arteries to serve as scaffolding so theartery walls don’t collapse after angioplas-ty.

The long-term effects from a heart at-tack are clear: once a blockage occurs, partof the heart is not getting oxygen and heartcells can die. The affected area can be per-manently and irreversibly damaged, whichmay affect the life expectancy of the pa-tient.

Our goal at Mount Nittany Medical Cen-ter is to get the blockages open quickly —usually within 90 minutes of arrival at theMedical Center — to minimize this dam-age.

Time is of the essence when you arehaving a heart attack. I see patients nearlyevery day whose health and quality of lifehave benefited from the cardiac catheteri-zation and intervention program at MountNittany Medical Center, and while we hopeto treat patients before an emergency hap-pens, we’re here to help if it does.

Why seconds matter ifyou have a heart attack

From Gazette staff reports

STATE COLLEGE — The American RedCross is encouraged by a boost in dona-tions since the organization issued anemergency appeal for blood donors. How-ever, additional donations are needed toensure an adequate supply is availablethrough the end of the summer.

“We are humbled by the generosity ofthe many blood donors in our region whoresponded to our appeal, helping to savelives,” said John Hagins, CEO of the GreaterAlleghenies Blood Services Region. “TheRed Cross is so appreciative for each andevery selfless act of giving. Our blooddonors truly do this out of the goodness oftheir hearts.”

Across the country, nearly 15,000 dona-tions have been given above expectationssince the Red Cross first issued its appeal,cutting the blood donation deficit by ap-proximately 30 percent to date. To keep upthe momentum, the organization encour-ages anyone who has not yet given bloodthis summer to schedule an appointmentand bring just two friends or family mem-bers along with them.

Although the number of blood dona-tions has increased, the situation remainstenuous and more donors are needed inthe coming weeks. If at least three addi-tional people — above what the Red Crossalready expects to collect — give at each

blood drive through the end of Augustthere would be enough blood on theshelves to meet patient needs through theend of the summer.

Donors of all blood types are needed,but eligible donors with blood type O neg-ative, O positive, A negative or B negativeare especially encouraged to give at thistime.

Anyone who gave blood at the start ofsummer (at least 56 days ago) may be eligi-ble to donate again as summer comes to aclose.

HOW TO DONATE BLOODCall 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-

2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to make anappointment, search for additional blooddrives or for more information. All bloodtypes are needed to ensure a reliable sup-ply for patients.

A blood donor card or driver’s license,or two other forms of identification are re-quired at check-in. Individuals who are 17years of age (or 16 with signed parentalpermission consent form in Kentucky,Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginiaand West Virginia), weigh at least 110pounds and are in generally good healthmay be eligible to donate blood.

High school students and other donors18 years of age and younger also have tomeet certain height and weight require-ments.

Middle State issueswarning, putting PSU’s

accreditation in jeopardyBy NATE MINKStateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State hasbeen notified its accreditation is in jeop-ardy in the wake of the university-commis-sioned Freeh Report and consent decreewith the NCAA, the school said Monday.

Middle States Commission on HigherEducation, which accredits degree-granti-ng colleges in the region, issues a warningwhen an institution is not in compliancewith government policies and the universi-ty’s governing body responsibility for qual-ity and integrity. It is requiring the univer-sity to submit a report on issues like gover-nance and financial stability by Sept. 30.

“It is critical to emphasize that MiddleStates does not issue a warning unless thecommission believes that an institutionhas the capacity to make appropriate im-provements within a reasonable periodand then sustain itself to stay in compli-ance,” Blannie Bowen, vice provost for aca-demic affairs, said in a press release. “Thiscertainly is true for Penn State. We’re confi-dent that our monitoring report and thesite visit will confirm this to the commis-sion.”

Once Penn State submits its report, ateam from Middle States will descend onthe university and prepare its own report.The two bodies will then review.

If the commission is not satisfied with

Penn State’s report, it can choose to placethe university on probation, which couldforce Penn State to issue a show-cause forwhy it should not lose its accreditation.

According to the U.S. Department ofEducation, accreditation ensures that edu-cation meets acceptable levels of quality.Without being accredited, Penn State’s de-grees lose significant value. Enrollmentwould likely plummet, crushing PennState’s main source of revenue.

“We certainly understand the concernsthat Middle States has raised, but I am con-fident that we will satisfy those concerns,”Bowen said.

The school is also confident it can fullycover the costs of all civil lawsuits andpending financial burdens associated withthe Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandalusing unrestricted resources and insur-ance and without tapping into tuition,state or philanthropic money.

Penn State, by agreeing to the NCAAconsent decree, accepted the findings ofthe eight-month-long Freeh investigationas fact. The NCAA, in turn, sacked the foot-ball program with a four-year postseasonban, reduction of 40 scholarships over fouryears, a $60 million fine and an athleticsintegrity agreement.

Penn State, which remains accredited,has been an accredited institution since1921 and was last reaffirmed Nov. 18, 2010,according to Middle States.

School board awards bidand property to partnership


STATE COLLEGE — The State CollegeArea School Board of Directors voted to ac-cept an $8,000 bid from the OverlookHeights Park Partnership and awarded thegroup the Overlook Heights Property.

Tensions ran high at Monday night’sregular board of directors’ meeting, as Fer-guson Township residents packed thesmall meeting room inside 131 W. NittanyAve. Many were ready to defend the parkfrom being commercialized.

Previously, several residents with prop-erty adjacent to the park area vocalizedconcern over their property value decreas-ing were the park to be commercializedand said they wanted to keep the “greenspace” that Overlook Heights has offeredup until this point.

Meanwhile, Scott Fozard of Fozard En-terprises withdrew his bid for the space. Heand his wife had initially been the highestbidders, offering the board $20,100. Asmuch as they wanted to pursue the space,he said, he and his wife would not bestooping to the level of degradation towhich they had been subjected since mak-ing the bid.

Per an amendment made via motion bythe board Monday, the board gave Fergu-son Township the first right of refusalshould the Overlook Heights Park Partner-ship decide to sell the property in the fu-ture.

Some residents were not happy with the

results, as this division was not their inten-tion. Several board members said theywere extremely disappointed with the waytheir effort to be transparent and fairpanned out.

Board member Dorothea Stahl said shewas disappointed the board was in a posi-tion to approve the bid because “peoplemisbehaved ... and someone who wentabout the process in the right, legal waywithdrew.”

“I am very disappointed with the be-havior ... it saddens me,” said Stahl, whohas lived behind Boalsburg ElementarySchool before the playground in that spacesimilarly went to the highest bidder.

Board President Anne McGlaughlin alsoexpressed her disappointment at the endresult, especially given that FergusonTownship expressed no interest in anyparts of the property for nearly fivedecades.

“Oftentimes those decisions, as they do,revolve around finances,” McGlaughlinsaid. When something does not generaterevenue and has value to us and we deter-mine that we would like to try to changethat situation and we have a bid of $20,000,which I think is a lot of money ... I’m verysorry that we weren’t able to carry forward,to make the most of that in a transparentway.”

“We have acted in good faith, we havetried to be as transparent as we could,” shesaid.

The school board of directors’ next reg-ular meeting is Aug. 27.

Breaking down ‘dressage’Bellefonte native discusses equine discipline

By ANNE WALKERFor The Gazette

To many, the word “dressage”brings to mind elegantly-clad mil-lionaires swilling Dom Perignonwhile assessing equines bought andsold for hundreds of thousands ofdollars. One local dressage trainerhopes to dispel this myth.

Bellefonte native Maribeth Wellsof Wellshire Farm describes her dres-sage clients as “average adult ama-teurs working full-time who do with-out in order to provide for theirhorse.” Like Wells, her clients have apassion for good horsemanship andlove for the animal.

Dressage consists of maneuversderived from a horse’s natural move-ments. In a brief overview, a younghorse will learn to move forward,stepping evenly into both reins. Hethen learns to “supple,” moving later-ally in simple arena figures like circlesand figure eights.

Eventually, the horse begins bend-ing his body, transitioning betweengaits including the walk, trot, halt andcanter. Lateral movements lead toturns on the foreleg and haunches.Classic lateral exercises help thehorse to learn balance. After master-ing basic movements, the horse maygo on to master combinations ofgaits, forward and sideways steps si-multaneously and moving on diago-nals. Ultimately, should horse, rider,trainer and owner choose, the horsemay continue to perform “GrandPrix” movements — the pirouettes,passage and piaffes seen in theOlympics.

All training, Wells emphasizes,should result in strong, healthy, bal-anced movement.

Initially developed in ancientGreece, dressage, according to Wells,“was a new form of horsemanshipbased on kindness and preserving the

spirit of the horse.”During a time when everyone re-

lied on horses for transportation,keeping the animals healthy was asimportant as vehicle maintenance istoday. Dressage helped develop ro-bust animals with the stamina need-ed on the battlefield. It also createdthe natural beauty featured in enter-tainment for the nobility.

Wells wants viewers to realize that,when watching a dressage program,the horse should get all the focus. Theriders, she said, “should show off thenatural physical and spiritual beautyof the horse.”

In addition to appreciating theaesthetic appeal, she finds dressagethe perfect tool for nearly any equinediscipline. Wellshire Farm is a mem-ber of the U.S. Dressage Federation aswell as the Keystone Dressage andCombined Training Association. Itsdressage students include trail riders,endurance competitors, reiners,hunters and jumpers. Its true pur-pose, she maintains, “is to help everyhorse in every discipline.” The imageof wealthy men in top hats and tail-coats sipping champagne, Wellsstresses “is only a tiny fraction” of theworld of dressage. Any horse of anyage or background can benefit fromthe techniques she uses.

Legacy of CCC camps honored in Poe Valley

SAM STITZER/For The GazetteEVONNE HENNINGER addresses the audience, giving much information about the CCC programin the 1930s.

By SAM [email protected]

MILROY — In 1932, when America wasin the throes of the Great Depression, anew president was swept into office, prom-ising to get the country working and pros-pering again.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt took office in1933 and hit the ground running. Just daysafter his inauguration, he proposed theEmergency Conservation Work Act, laterknown as the Civilian Conservation Corps(CCC) to employ America’s young men inconservation-oriented projects as part ofhis New Deal program.

Congress moved with unprecedentedspeed, approving the program in less than30 days, and by early April of 1933, therewere already 250,000 men enrolled in theCCC program.

Enrollees included unemployed youngmen, age 18 to 25, veterans of World War I,and locally enrolled men (LEMs), whowere residents of localities near the CCCcamps.

At its peak, there were more than 2,650camps located in all 48 states, as well as inthe territories of Alaska, Hawaii, PuertoRico and the Virgin Islands.

The camps were run in a military style,with men living in barracks, and havingtheir work and activities structured by offi-cers of the CCC program. Their pay was

$30 per month, with $25 of the moneybeing sent home to their dependents andfamilies each month. Enrollment periodswere from six months up to two years.Work performed by the CCC included workon telephone lines, fire breaks, lookouttowers, roads and guard rails, water sys-tems, insect and rodent control, flood con-trol projects and searching for missingpeople. The CCC program existed for nineyears, finally being halted by the advent ofWorld War II.

The state of Pennsylvania had 113camps, which was the second highestnumber of camps of any state except Cali-fornia. Among the Pennsylvania campswas Camp number 1333, located at PoeValley, south of Coburn. The camp build-ings were located about two miles frompresent-day Poe Valley State Park. The damforming the lake at the park was construct-ed by the CCC workers, as were the roadsleading into the park from the Coburn andMillheim area. The Poe Valley camp had140 enrollees.

On Aug. 11, 2012, a gathering was heldbeside the lake at Poe Valley to honor thelegacy of the CCC and its workers. About 65people gathered under a tent to hear pre-sentations by local historian Vonnie Hen-ninger, and event organizer Bill Marcum.

Henninger spoke of the CCC’s originsand gave many details about the enrollees’daily routine. Breakfast was at 5 a.m.,

lunch was a half hour, and workers re-turned to the camps at 4 p.m. The eveningswere free time, and lights were out at 10p.m. each night. Free time was occupiedwith sports activities and educationalcourses, as many of the men were nearly il-literate. Church services were held everySunday at the camps, or the men could at-tend services in nearby towns. Disciplinewas strict, and offenders received extraduty as punishment, or could be expelledfrom the program. Famous alumni of theCCC program include actors RaymondBurr and Robert Mitchum, test pilot ChuckYeager, and U.S. Naval Admiral HymanRickover, among others.

Marcum spoke specifically of the PoeValley Camp. His grandfather, SumnerFrankenburger, was a foreman at thatcamp. The camp was established in 1933,and in the nine years of the CCC’s exis-tence, about 2,800 men had been stationedat the camp. The camp contained 24 build-ings, including barracks, mess hall, offi-cers’ quarters and numerous outbuildings.The officers’ quarters building is stillstanding and is privately owned by theYarnall family. Marcum mentioned thatmany men, after leaving the CCC,launched careers based on the experiencegained in the CCC program. His owngrandfather established a tractor dealer-ship in Millheim stemming from his expe-rience maintaining bulldozers in the CCC

camp.“The CCC guys had tremendous oppor-

tunities that they didn’t have back home,”Marcum said.

Following the presentations, several au-dience members related stories of ances-tors’ experiences in the CCC camps. Somestories pointed out the relief from povertyprovided by the camps. One man’s grand-father had known a man in the programwho was delighted to be able to eat threemeals a day. Another had never owned atoothbrush before enrolling in the pro-gram.

Others spoke of the intense pride themen had in the work they had done, andhow good it felt just to be employed. HarryBressler, of Spring Mills, showed a largefork he had dug out of a shale pit near thePoe Valley State Park as a child when his fa-ther, Miles I. Bressler was a foreman at theCCC camp. He explained that the campkitchen was on wheels and followed themen to their work sites, including the shalepit, where someone had apparently lostthe fork.

Many items of CCC memorabilia wereon display in the breezeway of the parkconcession and bath house building. Oldphotographs, tools, maps and other itemsdrew a crowd of spectators, who gainedmuch insight into the CCC, one of the U.S.government’s most successful economicrecovery programs.

Commission approvesupdate to 12-year plan


HARRISBURG — The State Transporta-tion Commission recently approved an up-date to Pennsylvania’s 12-Year Transporta-tion Program, which anticipates $41.6 bil-lion being available over the next 12 yearsfor improvements to roads, bridges, transitsystems, airports and railroads.

“PennDOT is working very hard to makethe most of every available dollar,” saidPennDOT Secretary and CommissionChairman Barry J. Schoch. “This plan,which was developed in partnership withall regions of Pennsylvania, focuses on pre-serving our current infrastructure whileliving with the reality of flat or reduced fed-eral and state revenues.”

The newly adopted 12-Year Program,which takes effect Oct. 1, anticipates justover $9 billion being available for highwayand bridge projects in the first four years.Public transit is in line for $5.4 billion; avia-tion, $360 million; and the state’s rail-freight systems are expected to receive$204 million.

“PennDOT is committed to implement-ing cost-saving efforts and modernizationpractices that make sense and help us

stretch Pennsylvania’s limited resources,”said Schoch.

Eight Rural Planning Organizations and15 Metropolitan Planning Organizationspartnered with PennDOT in the review anddevelopment of the update.

It will now be submitted to the FederalHighway Administration and the FederalTransit Administration for review and ap-proval. The Federal Highway Administra-tion coordinates with the U.S. Environ-mental Protection Agency to review theplan’s conformity with air-quality require-ments.

Highway funds listed in the 12-Year Pro-gram are distributed statewide using a for-mula that weighs population, lane milesand vehicle miles traveled. Bridge fundsare distributed based on the condition ofeach region’s structures.

The commission consists of 10 appoint-ed citizens and the majority and minoritychairpersons of the state House and SenateTransportation committees.

State law requires the commission to re-view and update the 12-Year Programevery two years. No capital project canmove forward unless it is included in the12-Year Program.

Residents concerned about proposed quarry expansion


AARONSBURG — Some citizens of Aaronsburg andHaines Township are up in arms regarding a request byCon-Stone Inc. to amend two permits to allow expansion oftheir existing quarrying operation westward toward the vil-lage of Aaronsburg. The Pennsylvania Department of Envi-ronmental Protection must make a decision to grant ordeny this request. On Aug. 8, DEP held a public meeting inthe Aaronsburg Civic Center to gather input from the pub-lic regarding this request. Many citizens came to the meet-ing to present their concerns to DEP representatives, and torepresentatives of Con-Stone, who were also present.

At the heart of contention is an agreement signed by theHaines Township supervisors in December of 2011, whichwould allow Con-Stone to mine through two Townshiproads — Broad Road and Bartges Road. The townshipwould be compensated 25 cents per ton of stone removedfrom under the existing roads’ rights of ways. Opponentsof the expansion say the supervisors entered into thisagreement without public input, and the compensationprice is much too low.

“I object to the process. This certainly called for a publicmeeting, and should not be just something the supervisorsvote upon in their meeting,” resident Marcia Case said. “Apublic meeting was requested, but did not happen.”

The expansion plan calls for a section of Broad Road tobe undermined first, with Con-Stone constructing a by-pass road for the public. As expansion continues westwardover a period of years, Broad road would be restored, and asection of Bartges Road would be undermined with norestoration planned. Citizens voiced concerns about dam-age from blasting, noise pollution, dust and increasedtruck traffic in Aaronsburg.

Nancy Parks said: “We have a lot of cracking in certainrooms of our house.”

She attributes the cracks to blasting from the Con-Stoneoperation. She is also concerned about flooding and pollu-tion of streams nearby, which are classed as “exceptional

value” streams, especially Penns Creek, which is consid-ered a world-class trout stream. Con-Stone representativessay their sediment basin and infiltration galleries are de-signed to handle a 100-year flood without dischargingwater into the surrounding area.

The Con-Stone operation was also accused of causingwell contamination, and it was claimed that the companydrilled a new well for a citizen after blasting caused his wellto dry up. Con-Stone representative Jeff Confer said thoseclaims were “blown out of proportion.” He said that thecontamination was due to a manure spill near a farmer’swell, and the new well drilled for another citizen was in ex-change for him allowing Con-Stone to use his old well as amonitoring point, via dye injection, for tracking any wateroutflow from their operation. Con-Stone has been miningnear Aaronsburg since 1996.

The expansion of their mining area is to allow access toan 80-foot-thick vein of high-quality limestone, calledValentine stone, named for the geologist who discovered it.Because if its high percentage of calcium carbonate, thevast majority of Valentine stone is used for air and watertreatment purposes as a filtration medium.

According to DEP representative Dan Spadoni, the DEPis expected to rule on Con-Stone’s permit request withintwo months.

AUGUST 16-22, 2012 PAGE 19SPORTSIn reality, verylittle pressureon O’Brien

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State football media day isalways interesting.

This year was no exception.Needless to say, the 2012 edition was unlike any other.

With an overflow crowd in the media room at Beaver Stadi-um on Aug. 9, first-year head coach Bill O’Brien sat downin the same chair that the late Joe Paterno once used. Pa-

terno sat there for numerous mediadays, Tuesday conference calls andpostgame news conferences.

Media Day 2012 featured plenty oftough questions. There were questionsabout transfers and the NCAA sanc-tions. There were questions aboutdepth on a team that has lost some ofits most talented players to some ofthe nation’s top football programs.And there were questions about theculture at University Park, which hasbeen under a microscope since lastNovember.

To his credit, O’Brien stood tall andanswered every question head on.

About a half hour into his newsconference, O’Brien got a questionfrom a young reporter who askedabout the cohesiveness of his squad. Itwas a question that he’d addressedearlier in the day. Without flinching,O’Brien cracked a smile and dead-panned: “Did you just get here?”

It was that kind of day for O’Brien, who has been a greatrepresentative for a football school that nearly had itslights turned off by the NCAA. Use all the cliches you want.O’Brien has dug in, buckled down and kept his chin up.

It certainly hasn’t been easy. Under other circum-stances, following in Paterno’s footsteps might be a daunt-ing task. He was asked about filling the shoes of Paterno.

“I don’t even think about that. I don’t think about suc-ceeding anyone,” O’Brien said matter-of-factly. “I just tryto come to work every day with a great staff, great group ofkids, take it day-to-day, keep things in perspective. Under-standing that this is about educating young men, this isabout doing the best job you can to teach them how to playfootball your way.”

At one time, following in Paterno’s footsteps would havebeen difficult. However, he’s no longer in the shadow of thewinningest coach in the history of college football. Hedoesn’t drive by a statue on his way to work every day.

The truth is this: Because of the NCAA sanctions — themassive fine, the postseason ban, the transfers and thescholarship limitations — there is little pressure onO’Brien.

Before Silas Redd bolted for Southern Cal, Anthony Ferabecame a Longhorn and Justin Brown headed to Oklaho-ma, things looked good for Penn State. Most of the punditspredicted at least an eight-win season. Some (like myself)were confident that a nine-win season was within reach.However, given everything that has happened this sum-mer, it’s hard to envision Penn State winning more thanseven games. Some of the so-called experts are predictingthe Nittany Lions’ first sub-.500 season since 2004.

Even with the transfers, though, O’Brien likes his team.Does he expect to be competitive? Uh, you could say so.

“We expect to go out there every single game and put agood product on the field. We expect to be out there everysingle game and be prepared,” he said. “We expect to beout there every single game and do our best and play ex-tremely hard. We expect to go out there with the mindset inevery game that we’re going to win. That’s the way it’s al-ways going to be here.”

O’Brien has never been a head coach. There’s a world ofdifference between being a coordinator and being thehead guy. The spotlight will shine brightly on him whetherhe likes it or not. If the Lions go out and lay an egg duringthe non-conference schedule that includes the likes ofOhio, Virginia, Navy and Temple, you won’t see too manypeople parading through downtown with “Bill-ieve” and“O’Brien’s Lions” T-shirts. While those first four gameslook extremely winnable, anything is possible on a teamwith so many question marks.

In the end, though, there is little pressure on O’Brien.After all, the Lions were contenders for a national title justonce in the past 18 seasons.

When the 2012 season begins in just a couple of weeks,a new era of Penn State football will begin. It will feature aclean slate with a new coach. There will certainly be somebumps in the road. At first glance, O’Brien looks like he’sready to deal with whatever comes his way.

“It’s important to set a tone every day. It’s not year toyear. It’s important to come in there every single day yougo into a meeting, whether you’re the head coach, coordi-nator or position coach and set the tone for that day,” hesaid. “So that’s my job. My job is to make sure every day Ido the best I can to prepare the football team for that day,which hopefully leads to that week, that game, that year.”

If the man is under pressure, he’s certainly not showingit — and that’s a very good thing.

Kenney trying to find spot in the PSU offense

GEORGE LUCAS/For The GazetteSTATE COLLEGE Area High School graduate Alex Kenney (15) poses with his teammates at Media Day, which was held at BeaverStadium on Aug. 9.

By BEN JONESStateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Racingdown the HersheyparkStadium sideline, seniorAlex Kenney returned akickoff 97 yards for aState College touch-down.

While the Little Lionsfell, 24-7, in the 2009PIAA AAAA state titlegame to La Salle, Ken-ney’s explosive abilityand quickness thathelped guide State Col-lege to a 12-3 recordwas evident in everystep of the 97-yard re-turn.

As a senior, Kenneyran for 1,175 yards, had475 receiving yards andtotaled 29 touchdowns,while also grabbing 12interceptions, returningthree of those forscores. Many oppo-nents would see thenext play coming butwere unable to stop theshifty 6-foot, 200-pound receiver whowould clock a 10.6 100-meter dash that sameyear.

At Penn State, Ken-ney’s role has beenmuch quieter. Afterbeing redshirted in2010, Kenney record-ed one tackle and re-turned a kickoff for 16yards in the win over Indiana Statelast season. Beyond some time at cor-

nerback, he has been buried behind amountain of talent at his position.

But between the graduation ofDerek Moye, the departure of senior

Devon Smith and the transfer of sen-ior Justin Brown to Oklahoma, Ken-

ney’s time to shine has come, some-thing reflected in Bill O’Brien’s depthchart which lists Kenney as the topslot receiver on the roster.

“It (the spring) has beengoing very well, it’s been a lotof work, Coach Fitz is workingus hard,” Kenney said at lastweek’s media day. “I’m excitedto get out on the field and startplaying football.

“I dreamed about an oppor-tunity to play, but I neverthought it was going to be likethis, but an opportunity is anopportunity and I’m just goingto make the best of it.”

For Matt McGloin, finding ago-to receiver is going to be awhole new challenge as noneof the players slotted to startthis season have seen substan-tial playing time. While Kenneyhas the experience from hishigh school days of beingthe catalyst of an explosive of-fense, he is looking to fill what-ever role he is asked to fill.

“I’d like to contribute in anyway possible,” he said. “Sowhatever the role the coachesdecide for me I’m gonna try todo and work my hardest to doit to the best of my ability.”

As far as losing Brown, theobvious leader in the receiv-ing corps? No hard feelings andno adjustments in prepara-tion either.

“It’s just business as usual,Justin made a business deci-sion and I wish him all the bestin the future,” Kenney said.“We’re just getting down to

work with the people that are here tobe the best that we can be.”

FOXBURG — Recently, my wife and Iwere traveling through Clarion County’sCook Forest when Deborah noticed a signfor Foxburg Country Club. The sign statedthat it was the oldest continually run golfcourse in America.

Obviously, being The Gazette’s golfwriter, this side-trip was too hard to ignore

so off we went tocheck out the FoxburgCountry Club. And didwe ever find a jewelthat not many realizeis right in our ownbackyard, so to speak.

If you are a golfer,you grew up knowingthe game’s first venuewas the Old Course atSt. Andrews in Scot-land. What you maynot know is that thegolf’s American rootscan be traced to thetiny rural communityof Foxburg in north-western Pennsylvania.

Golf has beenplayed in America —in one form or another— since 1786, butnone of the courses es-

tablished before 1888 has survived to thepresent day.

Except one — the Foxburg CountryClub.

The Fox family emigrated to Americafrom England in the footsteps of WilliamPenn, and established themselves inPhiladelphia as a family of distinction andmeans.

The family took an active role in the pol-itics of the day. On Jan. 10, 1776, Joseph Foxwas elected Speaker of the Colonial Coun-cil. His first act as speaker was the appoint-ment of Benjamin Franklin as colonialagent to England.

Later, as a member of the Committee ofCorrespondence, he would meet with PaulRevere following his famous ride fromBoston to Lexington.

On July 25, 1777, Joseph took the Oathof Allegiance to the State of Pennsylvaniaas a free and Independent Common-wealth, and renounced all allegiance toKing George III.

On May 1, 1785, the Land Office ofPennsylvania issued warrants for the pur-chase of land in western Pennsylvania. Just10 years later, Samuel Fox purchased sixwarrants along the Allegheny River uponwhich to build the prominent family’s vastsummer estate, and ultimately establishedthe site for what would later become theoldest golf course in continuous use in theUnited States.

In June 1884, Samuel’s great grandson,Joseph Mickle Fox, sailed to England as amember of Philadelphia’s Merion CricketClub, “The Gentlemen of Philadelphia,” toparticipate in a number of internationalmatches in England, Ireland and Scotland.The American team was good enough toreach the championship match, which wasplayed in Edinburgh, Scotland, on June 6and 7.

Following the match, young Fox was in-vited to travel to St. Andrews to watch golfbeing played. He was instantly taken bythis new game, and he soon struck up afriendship with bearded old pro, Tom Mor-ris, Sr., who taught him the fundamentalsof the game and provided him with clubsand balls.

Old Tom Morris is perhaps the most in-fluential figure in the history of golf. He

was a great player, clubmaker, greenskeep-er and golf course designer.

Morris was born in St. Andrews and ap-prenticed himself to Allan Robertson, con-sidered by golf historians to be the first golfprofessional. Robertson made featheriegolf balls and taught Morris the trade. Thetwo often paired together in matches and,according to legend, were never beaten.

When the gutta percha golf ball arrivedon the scene, however, the two split.Robertson demanded that Morris join himin condeming the new ball, thus protectingthe featherie business. Morris recognizedthe guttie as the future, and left Robert-son’s side in 1849.

Morris left St. Andrews to join Prest-wick, where he served as “keeper of thegreens.” Prestwick hosted the first BritishOpen in 1860, where Morris finished sec-ond. But Morris would win four OpenChampionships during the decade.

In 1865, he returned to St. Andrews asgreenskeeper — a position he held until1904 — and established a clubmakingshop near the 18th green. The 18th green istoday named in honor of Old Tom Morris.

Fox returned to America and began toplay golf with his friends and neighbors onthe meadows of the estate his grandfatherhad carved out of the Pennsylvania wilder-ness.

Enthusiasm for golf grew so quickly, itsoon became obvious that the holes Foxhad laid out on the family estate, could notaccommodate the number of people whowanted to learn and play the game.

So, in 1887, the Foxburg Golf Club wasorganized, and Joseph Fox provided theland upon which to build a golf course. Thegame has been played here ever since.

Tucked into a grove of ancient oaks, onan escarpment high above the gentle Al-legheny River, the beautiful log clubhousecommands an imposing view of the valleybelow.

The clubhouse was built in 1912 as aprivate residence; it was acquired by thecountry club in 1942 for $5,000.

Foxburg Country Club features a coursecomplete with challenging play andbreath-taking vistas. The golf course isn’tlong, but don’t let that fool you. The fair-ways are narrow, the rough is deep and thegreens are small and fast.

Time here is still measured in seasons.The hours pass softly in the company ofgood friends and when your round is fin-ished, there’s a little time left over for quietreflection.

The club is a USGA Member Course,open to the public from April 1 to Oct. 31.The clubhouse also houses The AmericanGolf Hall of Fame Museum on the secondfloor.

Here, visitors will find a priceless collec-tion of golf clubs and other exhibits depict-ing the 400-year history of golf.

On March 2, 2007, the cirector of theNational Park Service announced the in-clusion of The Foxburg Country Club andGolf Course on The National Register ofHistoric Places.

Foxburg is only two miles south of Inter-state 80. The easiest way to find the coun-try club, for travelers who aren’t familiarwith the local areas, is to take Exit 6 off I-80to state Route 478, proceed South on stateRoute 478 two miles to state Route 58 (St.Peteresburg). Turn right (West) on PA 58,two more miles to Foxburg then turn righton Harvey Road to the clubhouse.

You won’t be disappointed in makingthe effort to visit America’s oldest continu-ally operated golf course.

Believe me, it’s worth the drive.

Backup quarterback Paul Jones hasbeen on Penn State’s campus for 32months now and he has yet to take asnap in a regular-season game for theNittany Lions.

He tossed a pair of touchdownpasses to Shawney Kersey in the Blue-White Game in the spring of 2010, buta redshirt season and another wherehe was academically ineligible havelimited Jones to scout-team snaps thepast two years.

Now a 20-year-old redshirt sopho-more, Jones has persevered. He hasclimbed to No. 2 on the depth chartbehind starter Matt McGloin in first-year coach Bill O’Brien’s pro-style of-fense.

By earning the backup role, Joneshelped hasten the departure of anoth-er four-star quarterback, Rob Bolden, aone-time starter who transferred toLSU.

“I’m blessed to be in the positionwhere I’m gonna play a little bit in the

fall and not worry about academic issues because I han-dled all that stuff,” Jones said at last month’s Lift For Lifeevent. “It’s a relief, I guess you could say.

“I can’t wait. That’s what I came here to do, play ingames. I think it will be fun.”

McGloin, a former walk-on, said he has been impressedwith Jones’ progress and work ethic, although Jones – rated afour-star recruit coming out of Sto-Rox High School in sub-urban Pittsburgh – looked a bit sluggish in part of Monday’sfirst preseason practice session that was open to the media.

“Paul’s been doing a good job with the offense,” Mc-Gloin said. “We have become pretty good. I have beenworking with him to try and get him ready to go in thereand make some plays for us if we need him.”

In high school, Jones threw for 5,667 yards and 60touchdowns, was ranked the No. 2 prep quarterback in thenation as a senior by Scout.com and played in the 2010U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

His numbers at Penn State — 5-for-8 for 67 yards andtwo TDs — don’t count, since they were accumulated inthe team’s annual spring game.

Jones has been impressed with O’Brien’s offense, whichis predicated on multiple looks, short-range throws andtight-end heavy formations.

“I think it’s fun,” Jones said. “But, from what I’m beingtold, it’s only the tip of the iceberg and there’s a lot more tocome. I can’t wait to see the finished product.”

Make no mistake, the losses of star tailback Silas Redd toUSC and leading returning wide receiver Justin Brown toOklahoma because of the harsh NCAA sanctions leveledagainst Penn State last month are going to hurt.

Sophomore Bill Belton, a former wide receiver, is the topoption to replace Redd. And of the top returning receivers,

none have caught more than five passes in their careers.Jones, like a lot of other players who opted to remain

with the program despite all the offseason turmoil, hopesto make a contribution to O’Brien’s offense.

O’Brien’s message to Jones was rather simple.“He told me, ‘Just be more sure of myself,’ ” Jones said.

“Sometimes, I’m too tough on myself. I’m a perfectionist. Iget mad when things don’t go my way.

“I just have to do my best every day and see what hap-pens.”

Jones also takes full responsibility for his academicstruggles at Penn State, which were a bit surprising tosome, considering he was the first student to ever graduateearly from his high school.

“When I first got here (as an early enrollee in January2010), I was 17 years old,” he said. “When you give a 17-year-old pretty much seven days a week to do whateverthey want ... There’s a lot more free time in college and Iwasn’t ready for it.

“Coming from high school, I played three sports (foot-ball, baseball and basketball), so I was always at practice orschool. And here, you work out for an hour or two and yougo to school and there’s still 20 hours you got to fill up onyour schedule.

“If I had to go about it again, I’d do it different, ofcourse.”

Jones, 6-foot-3, 245 pounds, is enjoying his fresh start —academically and athletically. And, as the backup quarter-back, he realizes he’s just one snap away from playing inhis first regular-season game for the Nittany Lions.

At long last, he has something to smile about.

The Glass Eye will return next week.

[email protected]

ALLENWOOD — The Bucknell GolfClub father-son due of Bill and Jake Snydercarded five birdies on the back nine enroute to a 5-under par 31 to give their teama 3-under par 69 and the 2012 NCPGA Par-ent-Child title for 18 year olds and older.The tournament was played at White DeerGolf Club’s Vintage Course in Allenwood.

The Snyder’s were only one stroke clearof the Lewistown duo of Dave and JeremyKoller, who shot a 70. The younger Snyder,Jake, has spent the past two summers serv-ing as the USGA funded P.J. Boatright in-tern for the NCPGA, performing a varietyof duties for golfers in the region who par-ticipate in the NCPGA Junior Tour and theSenior summer tournament series.

In the 11- to 17-year-old division, C.J.Tyler and his mother, Laura, posted a re-markable 7-under par 65 to run away withthat division title over the Williamsportteam of Taylor and Paul Krout, who shot 2-under par 70. The Tylers’ blistered the frontnine for a 5-under 31 and then played theback nine in 2-under par 34. Laura Tyler,who was one of the first participants on theNCPGA junior tour, was a former LPGA Fu-tures Tour player and is now one of themore prominent teaching pros in the area.

Taylor Krout was the top female playeron the NCPGA Junior Tour this summer.Her father, Paul, is the golf course superin-tendent at the Williamsport Country Club.Both of Krout’s older brothers have re-ceived NCPGA Scholarships and are at-tending St. Francis University in Lorettowhere they both play Division I golf.

In the 10-year-old-and-under division,Gary and Morgan Sohosky of the Tee-to-Green Golf Center in Berwick posted an 82.Craig and Dylan DeFazio were second with91.

A total of 23 teams participated in thetournament that used the Chapman for-mat of scoring. The Chapman format al-

lows each player to hit a tee shot on eachhole then players switch and hit one shotwith each other’s ball. The team thenchooses which ball to play and alternatesshots from that point until the hole is com-pleted.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Protecting paper exhibit show at the Palmer Museum

By KAREN DABNEYFor The Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — The cur-rent exhibit, “Protecting Paper atthe Palmer,” offers a glimpse be-hind the scenes at the PalmerMuseum by explaining what hap-pens when the museum receivesdamaged works of art on paper.

The exhibit displays printsand drawings that have been re-paired by a paper conservator,and includes damaged works ofart that will receive conservationtreatment in the future.

Some types of damage on dis-play include art with insect holes,tapes, adhesives and orange-brown foxing spots caused bymold. The exhibit explains themethods a conservator is likely touse to repair the damage, andsome of the difficulties and chal-lenges involved with doing thework. For example, the brownstaining caused by water on the19th century Japanese drawing,“Actor in the Role of a Samuraibefore a Shrine,” could be diffi-

cult to remove by washing inwater, because both the stainsand this type of Japanese ink arelikely to be soluble in water.

A displayed work of art thathas received conservation treat-ment is the print, “Margot Wear-ing a Large Bonnet, Seated in anArmchair,” by American artistMary Cassatt. A photograph ofthe print’s condition before treat-ment shows that the paper wasdarkened to a medium brown.This was probably caused bybeing glued to an acidic mountboard, and from years of expo-sure to light. To address these is-sues, a conservator removed theprint from the mount and used agentle bleach to lighten thepaper.

Unlike most exhibits, “Pro-tecting Paper at the Palmer” hada fun hands-on component. Onepicture frame in the gallery con-tained a sheet of paper that had aprotective Plexiglas glazing overthe top half, but was uncoveredon the bottom half. The displaytext beside the frame invited the

viewer to touch and scratch theexposed paper. The resultant soil-ing and damage offered a real lifeexample of why museums dis-play art on paper behind glass orPlexiglas.

Although the exhibit focusedon conservation treatments, thePalmer Museum uses a variety ofmethods to preserve collections,including controlling the temper-ature, relative humidity, andlighting in an exhibit; using mu-seum quality materials for mat-ting, framing, and storage, andlimiting the amount of time thatpaper can be displayed. A men-tion of these methods and theirbenefits would have given a morecomplete description of the mu-seum’s preservation program.

“Protecting Paper at thePalmer” will continue throughSept. 9. A gallery talk on the ex-hibit will be offered by PatrickMcGrady and Charles V. Hallman,curator, at 12:10 p.m. on Aug. 31.

For more information, visitwww. palmermuseum.psu.edu orcall (814) 865-7672.

KAREN DABNEY/For The GazetteSTUDY FOR “Communication” is a pencil sketch by George Fisher for a WPA mural. The margins and part ofthe arm on the right have been covered with a brown adhesive that probably attached a window mat to thefront of the drawing. There is a strip of brown paper tape along the left edge. The tape and the disfiguring adhesive will be removed by a paper conservator.

KAREN DABNEY/For The GazetteTHE NINETEENTH century Japanese ink drawing “Actor in the Role of a Samurai before a Shrine” has tidemark stains in the lower third of the paper.The stains could be difficult to remove by washing with water, since the ink mayalso be soluble in water.

KAREN DABNEY/For The Gazette“WATTS STREET,” a WPA lithograph by American artist Gerardo Belifiore,has two problems requiring conservation treatment. There are pressure-sensitive tapes in the corners from a previous mounting. The center of thepaper became darkened from exposure to light, and the edges were protected from the light by being covered with a previous window mat.

By Penn State Live

UNIVERSITY PARK — Think back to thelast birthday party you attended. When thecandles were lit, did you join everyone else inbelting out the “Happy Birthday” song — orwere you too self-conscious to do more thanmouth the words? Our everyday lives are fullof situations where we are expected to sing:parties, worship services, and even sportingevents, where the national anthem is oftenplayed. (The Star Spangled Banner is notori-ously difficult to sing, with a range of one anda half octaves.)

Is a decent singing voice a toss of the ge-netic dice or can anyone learn to sing?

“Everyone who can speak can learn to use asinging voice,” said Joanne Rutkowski, profes-sor of music education. “The quality of thevoice is dependent on many factors; however,barring a physical vocal disability, everyone canlearn to sing well enough to sing basic songs.”

While some factors are genetic, Rutkowskisays growing up in a musical environmentstrongly influences whether someone singswell and confidently. “We have evidence,” shenoted, “that the primary factors are growingup in an environment where parents, otheradults, siblings and other children are singing

and interacting with a child musically.”So how does a self-proclaimed “bad

singer” learn to sing? “Many people who havedifficulty singing are trying to sing with theirtalking voices — the voice they are used tousing,” said Rutkowski. “We typically speak ina lower and limited range, and the singingvoice is higher than our speaking voices. Soit’s a matter of learning to relax the vocalmechanism and use supported breath to pro-duce the sound, rather than trying to makethe voice ‘do something.’ That only causestension and keeps the voice in a low register.”

So, once you’ve learned to use your singingvoice, does that mean you’re ready to auditionfor “American Idol?” Not necessarily, addedRutkowski. “Everyone who can speak canlearn to use a singing voice, but not everyonewill have a fabulous-sounding voice. Once thevocal instrument is working, the ability to singwith good intonation is dependent on musi-cal aptitude and musical achievement.”

Like many other skills, it is easier to teach achild to sing than an adult, Rutkowski noted.“The longer a person tries to sing with aspeaking voice, the harder it becomes to breakthat habit. So the earlier, the better. Teachingchildren to use their singing voices in an ap-propriate, healthy, and musical way is a pri-

mary goal of elementary general music.”If you are well past elementary school, but

tired of lip-syncing “Happy Birthday,” consid-er joining a nonauditioned community choiror a choir at a place of worship, if you attendone, advised Rutkowski. “These groups typi-cally have singers with a variety of back-grounds and abilities, and the directors oftenknow how to work with ‘emerging’ singers.”

No matter your age, voice lessons are alsoan option. Just be sure to clearly communi-cate your needs and goals to the instructor,Rutkowski said. “Are you a beginner whoneeds to learn how to use your singing voice?Or can you already sing, but are interested inlearning how to make your voice sound bet-ter? If you communicate your needs beforebeginning lessons, the instructor should beable to tell you if she or he is the person tohelp you.”

Finally, part of the process is simply learn-ing to become comfortable with the uniquevoice you have, Rutkowski added. When themessage of the song is heartfelt, a spiritedsing-along is always music to the ears!

Joanne Rutkowski is professor of music ed-ucation and coordinator of music educationprograms at Penn State. She can be reached [email protected].

Can anyone be taught how to sing?

Make a connection: We eat them as kidsand then act like kids while eating them asadults. Fun, tasty, memorable. Just abouteveryone either loves Oreos or loves some-one who does.

Meet their needs: Oreo tweaked theproduct to expand globally into 100 coun-tries, giving each its own Oreo. Green teaOreos in China, Oreo Trio Chocolate inMexico and Indonesia’s Double Delightfeaturing chocolate and peanut, to name afew.

Tailor your message: Oreo changeswith the times. The “twist” was first pro-moted on trolley cars in the 1920s. DoubleStuff Oreos hit stores in the 1970s. “Cookies

N Cream Ice Cream” was introduced in1983 and my personal favorite, Fudge Cov-ered Oreos, in 1987. Reduced Fat Oreos(Really? What’s the point?) bummed fansout in the mid-90s while bite-sized MiniOreos were part of a 2001 promotionalcampaign.

Make it memorable: The product itselfis memorable but so is the advertising.Check out this list of slogans and tell methe messages don’t stick:

1950 — Oh!, Oh! Oreo! 1980 — For the Kid in All of Us1982 — America’s Best Loved Cookie1986- Who’s The Kid with the Oreo

Cookie?1990 — Oreo, The Original Twister2004 — Milk’s Favorite CookieAnd the list doesn’t even include the

“Twist, Lick and Dunk” campaign or the re-cent Perfect Start to Father’s Day ad.

Throw in this week’s Rover cookie cel-ebrating NASA’s trip to Mars with mil-

lions of Facebook and Twitter followersand you have 100 years of memorablemessaging.

More than 345 billion Oreos have beensold since the cookie was introduced in1912. The estimate for this year is 7.5 bil-lion or about 21 million eaten each day.

Milk’s favorite cookie indeed ... andmaybe the world’s too.
