Speaker makes women's voices heard
Lisa Barron
Eagle Eye News Editor
Claudia Limbert kicked off this month's Women's
History Month with her tribute to women and the struggles they have overcome in her lecture entitled "The
Sound of Women's Voices."
Dr. Karen Kline began the lecture by taking time to
recognize the hardships that women have endured and
continue to endure on the joband in their homes. Kline
introduced Limbert as an amazing women who fought
to get a good education and give her children a good life.
Amongst her many accomplishments according to
Dr. Kline Limbert has published works in The Boston
Globe and Country Living. She worked for several
years at Penn State University as the Chief Academic
Officer, before forming a women's commission.
Limbert spoke about the critical decisions that
women are confronted with everyday, such as deciding
if they should stay in school, get a job or get married and
have children.
She reminded the audience that these decisions
"determine the course of your life as well as your family's."
Limbert spoke about women of the past who were

She explained that when she was young many women
were unable to read or write. They were actually discouraged to write because they were told that no one

There is no
general public health risk as a
result of the University student
who has been diagnosed with
tuberculosis, according to the
Pennsylvania Department of
Health.
According to Donna Murray
Tuberculosis Control Officer at
the PA Department of Health,
the general population of the
University and the surrounding
community is not in danger.
The infection is only spread to
people who have had prolonged, close contact and it can
be cured with medications.
University President for
Student Affairs Dr. Linda D.
Koch said that the University is
working with the Department of
Health and has notified classmates, faculty, friends, and others with whom the student has
been in prolonged, close contact.

would really be interested in what they had to say.
According to Limbert these women had no voice but by
speaking about them she gives them a voice.
Limbert said that for her family she was "a new phenomenon" not only for being the first women in her family to graduate from high school as class valedictorian
but for also being the first woman to graduate from college. She said that it was a "social step" for her to go
from being so poor, to being at the head of her class.
Limbert was then offered a full scholarship which
she was forced to reject, because she did not have the
money to pay for her daily living expenses or books, and
she was afraid to ask for help.
Limbert spoke highly of the three women who
inspired her to go back to school at thirty-five years of
age and pursue not only a Bachelor's degree, but a Ph.d,
as well.
According to Limbert they were the reason she did
not give up, "They gave me a dream, as you would give
someone the perfect gift."
She first spoke of her grandmother, a Cherokee
Indian, who was a child during a time when the Ku Klux
Klan reigned and who, according to Limbert, was
forced, like many others, to keep silent in the presence
of men.
She recalled a vivid memory of when
mother took the time to teach Limbert her he to hold a

pencil and to write. Limbert recalled the

grandmother said to her which have stayed

It is very important to note

that people who are only infected with the TB germ cannotpass
on the germ unless they actually

have the disease. The germ is
dormant in an infected person,
however, they could potentially
develop TB disease in the
future. In other words, only
people with the disease can
spread the germ, according to
Donna Murray.
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention estimate
that 10 to 15 million people in
the U.S. are infected with the
TB germ.

inspired her to "be a real scholar."
The second woman that Limbert got her inspiration
from was her mother. According to Limbert. her mother was plagued by a bad marriage and an alcoholic husband at a time when the community and church would
not have approved of a divorce. She worked at a mental hospital and often woke up at night screaming from
the horrors she had witnessed, in order to support her
children.
Even though Limhert's mother was a talented singer,
artist and avid reader, she had no opportunity to excel
through her creativity. "I got the education that she v>. as
never able to acquire," said Limbert.
Another woman who took a sincere interest in her
life was her babysitter Ruth. Limbert attributes much
of her motivation to go to college to Ruth.
Ruth, was doomed by her lack of education and
her marriage to an older man, but always advised her to
value her education and praised her for it. Limbert said.
"She is standing beside me now. She often acknowledges Ruth's guidance when she receives support from
others and when she gives encouragement to other
women who are trying to accomplish their own goals.
Limbert eventually went back to school as a nontraditional student through a program that required adult
learners. She then applied for scholarships to pay for
the costs of books and other expenses. Limbert says
that with the opportunity to choose courses she was like
a "kid in a candy store."

TB, or tuberculosis, is a disease caused by bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

The

bacteria can attack any part of your body, but they usually attack the lungs. TB is spread through the

air from one person to another. The bacteria are put into the air when a person with TB
disease of the

lungs or throat coughs or sneezes. People nearby may breathe in these bacteria and become infected.
TB in the lungs or throat can be infectious. This means that the bacteria can be spread to other
people. People with TB disease are most likely to spread it to people they spend time with every day.
This includes family members, friends, and coworkers.

*

Other symptoms of TB disease are:
weakness or fatigue
weight loss * no appetite
chills fever
sweating at night

how immature they may be.
Part of this change occurs because your emotions and your attachments begin to become more
intense. And the most intense of
those is one that you're lucky to
find, and that's love.
It's no longer a little boy
writing a little girl a note asking
her to circle yes or no if she likes
him. It's not in anyway that simple. In fact, it is by far thc most

complex of all emotions known
to man.

Everyone has someone they
consider as their first love, but in
all reality that's one that never
really lasts.
Many times your too young
to know what love is, even
though in your mind and in your
heart you're sure you do. Your
first love is often just a pipe
dream of what you think love
should be and it never really
measures up. But more importantly it's a learning experience.
It allows you to figure out what
you don't want in a relationship

as well as what you do want.
And no matter how many other
people come in and out of you
life, your will always carry that
person within your heart.
But then, you begin to get a

little older. You begin to go
through relationships and dating.
You begin to find out what qualities a guy possess that attracts
you and what qualities to avoid
to keep yourself happy. Sometimes you get hurt and sometimes you do the hurting. All
and all memories that last a lifetime will evolve and the moments you spend with those people are irreplaceable.
And then it happens. You
meet someone who's a little different than any of the others. It
might happen as your walking
down the pedestrian mall and
some guy in a bright yellow
fleece comes sauntering your
way and you look at him from a
distance and realize there is
something about him that is
drawing you to look his way.
You can't really put your finger
on what it is, but some force is
making you look directly into his
eyes as he passes by. If your
lucky he'll stop and say hello
and because of the way he makes
you feel just by that one encounter you know there is something special brewing.
For the next couple of days
you can't stop thinking about
him and whenever you see him
your heart starts to flutter.
And it's not like the crushes
you have in high school where
you think a guy is really cute and
you write notes back and forth to

your best friend about how you
want him to ask you to the prom.
There is a spark in his beautiful green eyes that captures
your soul and there's no turning
back. There is nothing you can
do to extinguish this fire.
Your thoughts are complete-

ly consumed by him and then
one day in the most unexpected
of places, everything comes together. Maybe it's fate, maybe
it's a friend intervention, or
maybe it's just pure carnal desire, but regardless something
brings you together.
You begin to date and you
can tell there is something more
to this than a casual relationship.
So you do whatever it takes to
protect yourself from the
heartache that you know has the
potential of ensuing. But even
after you build up the biggest
wall, which you think your
strong enough to hold up, he
somehow breaks in and steals
your heart.
The relationship becomes a
whirlwind of events and even the
sun looks a little brighter in Lock
Haven. There is nothing that can
go wrong and all the world
seems to revolve around you and
that special someone. You are
happy and there's not much that
can bring you down.
But then, one day, some force
tears the relationship apart. It
may be a matter of the two grow-

Letters to the edito
Dear Editor:

I would like to commend you and Maruo Garcia for the Lifestyles article on Global Warming
published in the February 25 issue; thc article was
fairly comprehensive and accurate in broad outline,
but I noticed several factual problems that need to
be addressed for thc benefit of the readers.
One thing to realize is that the natural greenhouse effect is critically necessary for maintenance
of habitable temperatures on Earth. If the atmosphere did not trap infrared radiation, the Earth
would be perpetually frozen over. It is the increase
in greenhouse gases from human activities that is
problematic. The article states that carbon dioxide
emissions have increased 15 percent in the last 40
years. What I believe was intended here was to say
that the concentration ofcarbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased about 15 percent during
this time (from about 315 to 360 parts per million).
The actual rate of emissions increase has been
much greater. Carbon dioxide emissions began increasing rapidly around 1950. and since then have
climbed from about one billion metric tons of carbon per year to nearly 7 billion metric tons of carbon per year. There is little sign of slowing ofemissions increase, and concentrations may double
within the next century, as the article stated.
The article makes an unfortunately garbled
statement about carbon dioxide concentrations of
about 190 to 280 parts per million existing 160,000
years ago. but not in recent history. The author was
a little confused on this. The range given is pretty
close to the actual change from the peak of the last
ice age about 20,000 years ago to the mid 1800s
(pre-industrial). The increases since then have resulted almost entirely from fossil fuel and biomass
burning, as well as deforestation. This has been
confirmed using carbon isotope ratios.
The question of the melting of polar ice sheets
in contributing to sea level rise is far from clearcut. It has not been possible to perform an accurate
mass balance on modern ice sheets in Greenland
and Antarctica to my knowledge, although there
are many indicators of unusually rapid loss of ice
through the flow of "ice streams" (areas within ice
sheets with rapid seaward flow) and thinning of ice

relationship is simply dissipating. Or it may be a matter of two
lives separating because of
something like graduation or another uncontrollable force, regardless of how strong the emotions may be and no matter how
much it hurts since neither person really wants it to be over.
So what do you do then,
when you're forced to say goodbye? What do you do when a relationship ends? You have two
choices: 1) You can fight for it or
2) You can walk away.

shelves where glacial ice meets the ocean. Sea level has been rising since thc warming days of thc
last ice age around IS.000 years ago. The collapse
of the e xpanded ice sheets produced a rise of about
120 meters over thc course of a few thousand
years. The modern rate of rise is on the order of a
centimeter per scar, but thc rate is projected to increase, possibly through ice sheet wastage but definitely through ihermal expansion of sea water.
The author did a ver y nice job of pointing out
the wide range of environmental effects which may
result from global warming. In conclusion, I would
just like to emphasize three key points:
I. The projected warming of about 1 to 2 degrees Centigrade during the next century may not
sound like much, but this is a global average.
Warming may be many times greater at high latitudes. This projected w arming is comparable to the
change from the last ice age lo modern time. This
may also result in some of the highest global temperatures since the Pliocene Epoch, between about
2 and 5 million years ago. During this time, it is believed that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet collapsed
completely. This is not anticipated within the next
few centuries, but it would result in a rapid sea level rise of at least 20 meters.
2. Global warming may not be manifested as
"warming" everywhere; what will happen is that
the hydrologic cycle will be more energetic globally, which could increase seventy and frequency
of severe storms and increase snowfall in some regions. We are already committed to a certain degree of warming, but future human actions could
greatly influence the eventual magnitude of warm-

ing.

3. The global climate system has a penchant for
responding in a non-linear (i.e. unpredictable) way

forcings, including carbon dioxide - think
of a light dimmer vs. a light switch - we may see
gradual changes as forcing increases, but then
reach a critical threshold where rapid changes occur and the climate enters a new mode.

The Have Nots have a lot
Kristin White
Eagle Eye Features Editor
Once upon a time, some old college buddies
who thought they were pretty funny got together to
perform comedy. Seeking another member for their
group they found that, contrary to popular belief,
you can form meaningful relationships with people
you meet in bars. In fact, you can form careers with
people you meet in bars, and the rest is history.
At least, it will be some day. Greg Tavares,
Brandy Kucker and Timmy Finch are The Have
Nots, an improv comedy group that had Lock
Haven students doubled over in laughter Sunday
evening. Tavares, the founder and director ofThe
Have Nots, teamed up with Rucker, a fellow University ofSouth Carolina theater graduate, and musician Bryan Mahanes to form the original group
Meanwhile, Finch, who studied English literaBaltimore, was searching for an
outlet for his clowning tendencies. Then, one fateful night at a bar in Charleston, S.C. Tavares met
Finch and the relationship almost instantaneously
"blossomed into a full-on career." Despite the loss
of Mahanes, the current trio has achieved great success, recording over 460 total performances, and
continues to gain popularity on the improv comedy scene.
The company's unusual name originated when
the group was struggling to gain experience and
unable to find a single venue in Charleston to perform at.
"I called every single place that has even
thought about having a performance in Charleston
and no one would give us a space," said Tavares,
"and one day it just came to me. I said, 'We're the
true have-nots in this world,' and it just stuck."
The Have Nots' name is also characteristic of
genre ofcomedy they perform. Improv comedy does not use props or scripts and it's not based
on jokes as most types of comedic entertainment
are. Although basic improvisation techniques and
exercises have been used by actors to train and get
into character for some time, the performance aspect is relatively new to audiences.
"It's kind of a young art form, although it's the
oldest," said Tavares.
According to The Have Nots, the recent emergence ol improv comedy on television shows such
as "Who's Line is it Anyway" has benefited their
efforts by making their style a more recognized
form of entertainment. As a result, there is a greater
demand for improv comedians and The Have Nots
are no longer probing the Yellow Pages for places
to perform.
; "We have so many more people saying 'improv' rather than improve,'" joked Rucker.
A typical performance is based on a series of
skits or games that consist ofa basic outline or plot
developed by audience suggestions. For example,
during one game at Lock Haven, The Have Nots
elicited information from the audience including an
activity that someone had recently participated in,
a film genre, a dialect, and an attitude. The product
was a suicidal frat brother picking up garbage
along the roadside, among other insanely hysterical situations.
Another game, entitled "Last Word-First
Word," illustrates the rapid pace and unpredictable
ture at Loyola in

of improv comedy, as well as the amazing
talent of the performers. The last word ofthe first
comedian's dialogue must be the first word in the
next comedian's, creating a pattern which continues throughout the script.
"The most important thing to me is creating a
character that wants something and that's what you
believe in that scene," said Tavares. "It doesn't
have to be funny; you don't have to say funny
things."
Creative improvisation requires the ability to
listen, think quickly and react immediately to the
queues of fellow performers, but not necessarily a
captivating sense ofhumor. In addition, it's nearly
impossible to rehearse for an improv comedy show
considering that all the information on which the
plot is based comes at the spur of the moment from
audience participation.
"We don't worry about thinking before hand.
You just go real fast and if you stay honest to the
situation and to your character choice, funny things
will happen," said Finch.
Now that they've been perfecting their skills
and fine tuning their format through years of experience and hundreds of performances, The Have
Nots are ready to see their name in lights. The road
to success, however, literally involves the road. As
a full-time touring company performing an average of 140 shows a year, the group logs quite a few
miles on their touring van.
"We get to do a lot of neat things that you don't
get to do working a Monday through Friday, nine
to five," said Rucker. "Everybody in Showbiz travels; you have to."
"Traveling really sucks though, honestly," said
Tavares. "We often say we don't get paid to do our
show, we get paid to drive. There are good days,
but seeing the world is an afterthought. It's the
show that's important."

"Wonder Boys" delivers
wonderful performance
I make a lot of fuss in this
column about how difficult it is
to see a movie these days without any preconceptions and/or
expectations. Thanks to the proliferation of advertising, we get a
sneak peak at movies weeks and
even months before they appear
in the theater. The Internet, too,
has contributed to this wealth of
information that we often take
with us whenever we go to see a
movie for the first time. Sometimes, what we know about a
movie and the opinions we have
going into it, whether they be
ours or those of a critic, are
proven true. Sometimes they're

It sounds like a lot to cram into two hours, but thanks to the
direction of Curtis Hanson ("LA
Confidential"), "Wonder Boys"
makes material that could be potentially muddled and confusing,
lucid. Cinematographer Dante
Spinotti sublimely lights and
shoots a film that occurs largely
in the dark or the rain (settings
that emphasize the state of the

not.

All of this goes in the way of

saying that I had high expectations for "Wonder Boys," and I
am thrilled to report that they
were surpassed by what is the
first great film to see wide release in 2000. This film is a true
ensemble effort, with brilliant direction, literate script, and refreshing performances all blending together seamlessly to create
a truly remarkable gem of a
movie.
"Wonder Boys," based on a
novel by Michael Chabon, is the
story of English professor Grady
Tripp (Michael Douglas), who
spends most of his time smoking
pot and attempting to finish the
follow-up to his acclaimed first
novel. When he's not doing that,
however, he's conducting an affair with the university chancellor (Frances McDormand),
dodging his pushy editor (Robert
Downey, Jr.), and guiding a suicidal student (Tobey Maguire)
who may very well prove to be a
talented writer himself, if Tripp
can keep him from ending his

characters and better drive home
the film's conclusion).

Additionally, the film tips its

hat to great films and film stars
of the past, including a climax

that's reminiscent of Stanley
Kubrick's "The Killing," only
much more humorous. Steven
Kloves, a talented director in his
own right, wrote the script. His
own experience behind the camera is no doubt part ofthe reason
the film moves along so briskly,
despite the bulky material. Both
writer and the director handle the
story's unique blend of human
drama and dry-as-a-bone humor
with aplomb.
Performances here are uniformly superb. McDormand and
Downey are as wonderful here as

though not recognized under Kenyan

Anyhow, the "marriage" was a
nightmare. Now 80, Nyoero took her
"wife" to court accusing her ofall sorts
of abuse, cruelty and general odiousness. A "divorce" was granted.
YOKO DENIES LENNON
AIDED IRA
Yoko Ono is taking aim at a claim
that her peacenik husband contributed
to the war chest ofthe Irish Republican
Army.

"My husband did not give money to
the IP A," the Beatle widow said yesterday during a visit to Spain. "My husband gave money when it was asked
(for)by people who were in need."
Britain's Observer newspaper reported Sunday on a court statement by
a former spy who claimed he had seen
secret files alleging that John Lennon

had helped bankroll the IRA in the earmw
ly 1970s.
Spy David Shayler claimed the information had come from a British
mole inside the Workers" Revolutionary
Party, a Trotskyite group in the U.K.
that also reportedly benefited from
Lennon's largesse.
Ono defended her husband's pacifism on a radio broadcast from the city
of Zaragoza, where her art is being
shown. Ono and Lennon did sing about
giving peace a chance and called for the
world to put down its weapons during
their famous naked bed-in.
But Lennon was known to oppose
British rule in Northern Ireland. He
once held up a sign reading "Victory for
the IRA against British imperialism" at
a London rally protesting British treatment of IRA prisoners.
Shayler's claims came amid a U.S.
court battle over confidential letters
about Lennon from an unidentified foreign government, believed to be
Britain.

light ofhis recent drug problems,
he is still one ofthe most talented though poorly misguided, actors of his generation). Katie

Maguire's turn as the suicidal

The real surprise, however, is
Douglas, who sheds his rich,
middle-aged, sex-starved mantle
to play quite well a character
who is frumpy, vulnerable, and
emotional. It's too bad this film
came out so early (or so late, depending on how you look at it,)
because his performance is easily Oscar material.

What makes "Wonder Boys"
so refreshing is that it's about re-

al people with real problems and
real emotions, yet it avoids the
kind of heavy-handed sentimentality that is too often manipulative and drives these kinds of
films. While this movie is about
a lot of things, it's ultimately
about growing up, something
that each character must do, in
his or her own way, before the
credits roll. The fact that all this
maturation happens within the
course of a few days is kind of a
reality stretch, but when it's all
said and done, "Wonder Boys"
leaves you feeling good without
feeling like you've fallen for one
of Hollywood's emotional tricks.

Country artwork breathes
fresh air into Lock Haven
Tom Peske
Eagle Eye

Features Editor

While the world of Lock Haven is still dull and
brown thanks to winter, a breath ofcolor and life
has blown onto campus. This breath is in the form
of Tina Madonia's artwork, now on display in the
Sloan Fine Arts gallery.
Madonia's paintings are of sweeping landscapes, tranquil seasides and rustic images of everyday items. Her work reflects a variety of subjects, but all seem to hold the same warm, comfortable feel.
"An artist can become stagnent with one thing
so I try to do a little of everything," Madonia said.
"I do tend to do more landscapes because that's

mostly what is around. I paint what I see and enjoy."
Madonia first started her studies in art in junior
high school. Her studies eventually led her to study
at State University ofNew York Albany.
Working largely in oils and monoprinting,
Madonia uses contrasting colors to bring the viewer's eye both around the piece and to the focal
point. She said she often takes pictures of a scene
and then adapts the image to her liking in her studio.
"I do try to capture the depth and intensity of
colors in a scene and then add detail later," she
said.
Madonia's work will be on display through the
end of March.

you are that "someone."
A large part of who they beThis kind of attitude can be
detrimental to young athletes,
emotionally and physically.
"The number of kids who are
being treated for overuse iniurics-slow-building stress fractures, for example, or chronic
muscle tears that come from
throwing too many passes or

pitches— is skyrocketing," says
Rita Glassman, spokeswoman
for the National Youth Sports
Safety Foundation in Boston.
What's worse, many of these
injuries are not treated early
enough, if at all, because parents
"don't want to tarnish their
child's hope of a scholarship
with a scar- either a literal or a
figurative one."
It is frightening to think that
many kids are being pushed into
such intense athletic environments by parents or coaches. It
is even more frightening to think
that some of these kids willingly
sacrifice their health and often
their happiness to "make the big

time".
Take David Castleton, for
example. David is a Santa Ana,
California native who is "burned
out" at the ripe old age of 21.
His love affair with youth sports
started when he was still in elementary school.
According to the article,
"Youth Sports Grind is Tough on
the Body, Spirit" by Scott Gold
and Tracy Weber, LA Times
Staff Writers, Sports provided
Castleton with the opportunity to
travel the country when he was
10 years old.
"By 12, he could name the

amino acids needed to perfect
his physique. By 14, he was seeing separate trainers for conditioning, basketball shooting,
football passing, speed and mental toughness."
"He repeated the eighth
grade, "not because he failed his
classes, he says, but to give him
an extra year of drills and discipline, allowing him to dominate
as a freshman quarterback at
powerhouse Mater Dei High in
Santa Ana."
This is an extremely alarming situation. It is unfathomable
to me that anyone who was ten
or twelve years old would willingly sacrifice so much of their
youth to excel in any one thing,

If this honestly did happen, it
shows just how warped some

people are.

Actually, many are just uninformed. Many of the parents
and coaches who are pushing
this "do or die"attitudc on kids
are still living in their own glory
days.
Unfortunately, many of their
glory days were reached when
they were in high school or college. While it makes sense that
they would have the same
dreams for their youngsters, it is
unfair to impose these hopes just
as intensely on a child as they
would a college player.
For one thing, it is a fact that
young children arc not cognitivcly able to grasp many of the
concepts associated with team
sports. They simply cannot "see
the field", the goal and theball as
they are running.
They also are not physically
prepared for many of the demands placed upon them in

Jill Nauman

come depends on being exposed
to a wide range of stimuli. It also depends on their being given
the opportunity to enjoy these
activities. Something usually
has to "give" when any person
becomes so involved with one
thing that it's all they think
about. Sometimes this is a good
thing. It can provide a person
with much needed direction and
can give them hope.
In the case of youth athletics,
however, it seems that what often gets pushed aside is children's inclination to be children,
They may have stars in their
eyes, but someone has to speak
up on their behalf to convince
the parents, coaches and friends
who pressure them that it is just
not right. In short, kids may not
know better, but we should.
This brings me to my second

point. Thinking back to David
Castleton, I couldn't help but
cringe at the thought of him being able to stay back in school
simply to train for athletics,
Where were his parents? Where
was his athletic director? Where
was the principal during all of
this?
I find it hard to believe that
no one involved with this situation stopped it from happening,
Didn't his parents feel that education was far more important
than sports at that age? Or at
least that there should be more to
his life than being the best 9th
grade athlete?

year-round athletic competition,
Like any athlete, they need a rest
period in order to be physically
and mentally ready to "get back
out there",

In addition, they just aren't
physically capable of wearing
their bodies out to that extent
and still recover,
Hunter Temple, headmaster
of Brentwood School in Los Angeles, remarked. "Maybe I'm a
dinosaur, but when the leaves
turned gold you played football,
When it got cold outside you
went inside to play basketball.
And when the grass turned green
again you played baseball,
That's the way America used to
be. No longer."
Now many kids participate
in the regular competitive season, an indoor season, a club
team in the summer, and yearround training specific to one
sport.

Obviously, there are many
more highly skilled kids entering
junior high and high school. Unfortunately, though, alot of the
passion for the game has been
replaced by a passion to simply

be the best.
Coupled with this is the fact
that many "average" junior high
aged kids are not even making
the junior varsity teams. It
seems that school teams are in-

creasingly becoming showcases

for elite athletes who have spent
much of their time and their parents' money developing their

skills at a highly competitive
level.
What, then, happens to the
10 or 11 year-olds who think
they might enjoy being on a
school sports team, but have no
previous formal experience? In
many cases, they are not even
considered.
It's no surprise that many
students who want to be involved with an athletic team
simply want to fit in and feel
good about themselves while doing something they enjoy. It is
heartbreaking to know that many
are not even given the opportunity to develop their skills because they are considered "second rate."
Of course, there are many arguments that support involvement in youth sports. Child athletes are getting exercise, they
are meeting other kids, feeling
like part of a team, and may even
be spending more time with their
parents, even if it's just driving
to and from games and practices.
One mother of a 16-year-old
boy in Southern California says
that she will not complain for a
second about the almost continuous thumping of basketballs
around and outside the house.
"It's a sweet, sweet sound—
because it means Jeremiah is
safe. I'd rather hear that ball
bouncing than anything else in
the world. I could be hearing the
phone ring instead—when he's
calling to tell me he's in trouble."
Honestly, I agree that many
sports programs provide children with wonderful opportunities to build their self-confidence
and feel like part of a team.
They also give them a safe place
to be, with adult supervision and
a healthy environment.
However, we do need to recognize that some seemingly
"safe environments"are, in fact,
potentially harmful. If children
are feeling pressured to perform
above their ability, or ifthey are
pressured to perform when it is
emotionally or physically harmful to them, someone has to have
the sense to do something about
it.
As potential parents, we also
have to recognize that we could
be part of the problem. We have
to give our children the chance
to explore their wide world.
Sure, we can encourage them to
try things that we think will be
good for them, but by no means
should we forget that they have
a mind, and a heart, of their own.
The more we do to encourage them to see what's out there,
the more likely they'll be to become the "well rounded individuals" that prosper and make a
difference in this world.
I'm not saying we should
rob anyone, young or old, of his
or her dream. But someone has
to be brave enough or sensible
enough to recognize when that
dream could put a person in real
danger. While that won't always
cause a person to change his or
her mind, it will at least ensure
that he or she is aware of the
risks involved, no matter how
unrealistic they seem.
I hope no other child has to
live out this scene, experienced
by a 10 year-old elite soccer club

,

member:
"It was hardly the shot heard
'round the world—but the consequences would reverberate for
years to come. His teammates
shunned him after the kick. His
confidence shattered, he missed
another at the next tournament.
At the beginning of the next season, he was unceremoniously
dropped from the team. He quit
soccer for good months later. He
was just 12."
In the case of children, we
have to remember, more than
anything, that they are children.
As parents, teachers, older
brothers and sisters, we are important role models for the
young people in our lives. As
such, we have a profound impact
on what they think is important
or right.
They need to be protected,
and sometimes that means "har-

nessing" their dreams and helping them realize that there will
be a time and a place for everything. Encourage them to take a
step back and think about all the
things they want to learn about.
Chances are, they'll realize that
the world is made up of more
than just one big basketball.

My first encounter with a
Pennsylvania Elk was somewhat
less of an experience than I had
originally hoped for. I was heading for Coudersport. in Potter
County, to visit family in the
area. I decided, like always, to
take the long way there in hopes
of viewing some of the Pennsylvania Elk that I had heard so

much about.

Driving from my hometown
of Saxonburg. in Butler County.
I made my way along Interstate
80. I eventually had to exit the
interstate and begin a back road
journey that would lead me to
the town of Bene/ette. in Elk

County.
While driving. I really didn't
expect to see any elk. Alter all.
they were this wild and majestic
symbol that represented everything that is wilderness in central
Pennsylvania. I figured that it
would be impossible to see an
:1k from the road.
Low and behold. I gazed out
the window of my Honda and
there was what I had hoped to
see. Three wild and untamed
Bull Elk were casually eating
some guy's expensive shrubbery
in his front yard.
I pulled my car off to thc side
of the road to view the animals,
and the resident of the house
emerged and walked 10 yards
from the elk en route to get into
his vehicle and drive away. So
much for a majestic symbol of
wilderness.

Needless to say, I felt slightly disheartened. However, the
experience was still worth thc
drive, and I was amazed that an
animal that immense lived here
in our slate.
My second encounter was

pie interested in wildlife photography. The elk will stand pretty
for anyone wanting photo opportunities. Most often, you
don't have to leave the comforts
of your vehicle.
I will caution photographers
and viewers that elk can weigh
over 700 pounds, and they have
massive head gear that can indict injury. Have you watched

"When Animals Attack" on the
FOX network? It can happen to

you.

Recently, the Game Commission has undergone major
trap and transfer efforts to expand the range of the Pennsylvania Elk. .Last year, elk were
trapped near St. Mary's and

transferred to Sproul State For-

est here in Clinton County.
Drive out route 120 heading

towards Renovo and you will be
heading into elk country. The
sign along the road will be your
confirmation.
Elk are also presently being
trapped and transferred to the
Kettle Creek drainage area and
the Pottersdale area near the
New Garden property. This land
will then he turned into a state
game land.
The Game Commission effort to expand the elk range is an
ongoing process that will cover
three years. The Commission's
goal is to maintain a self-sustaining population in a natural state
for public benefit. This process
will eventually give thc elk more
room to roam and provide the
public with increased viewing
opportunities.
The key to the whole project
is keeping the elk on state owned
lands. An 800 pound animal can
do an incredible amount of damage to a farmer's field.
Thc current elk population is
estimated to be between 400 and
500 animals. This number is
growing by 10 percent every

March 3, 2000

The ruggers kept both ball and field possession in their favor for most of thc first
half, although unnecessary penalties committed by LHU stopped much of the flow of
the game. Bursts of speed by Sean Vuocolo
and Tommy Baughman aided in driving the
ball deep into Ship territory.
Good support play by the forwards
pushed the ball even closer to the try line until Scott McGuire picked it up and dove into
score the first try of the game. Mike Landis
converted thc score with an accurate kick and
it was quickly a 7-0 LHU lead.
A brutal series of tackles began as each
Ship player that touched the ball was met
with a swarming LHU defense. Though Ship
managed to make good short passes and
gained a few meters, possession was soon
snatched by thc Bald Eagles as they began a
drive of their own. After the ball touched
several players' hands. Chuck Herling dove
in for the score.
As was the problem in the previous season, penalties were Lock Haven's Achilles
Heel, as Ship was given many opportunities
on which to capitalize, but failed. Bad passes and dropped balls allowed the ruggers to
regain possession time and time again.
After Ship committed a penalty within 15
meters of their try zone, the Haven pack
came together to uniformly drive down the
field. Andy English gathered the ball and

was propelled in for a score by nine of his
teammates, bringing the score to 17-0at half-

time.
Shortly into thc second half, an off sides
penalty against Lock Haven allowed Ship
their first and only points of the game with a
penalty kick, making it 17-3.

gill, leading scorer from last season and LHU's career points

the team, Hogg said that everyone else seems to have been
stepping up a little bit to make up

for Pickersgill's absence.
Three of Hogg's top recruits
include Megan Dwyer (attack)
and Michelle Fitzpatrick (midfielder), both of which were
picked up from Perkiomen Valley High School, and midfielder
Anne Marie Ritzell from Silver
Springs.
The team also has some key
returning players, including
Haven's top scorers, senior Car-

leen Childs (23 goals), juniors

Jennifer Kinsey (10) and Erin
Smith (6), along with sophomore
Megan Cupo and senior Moira
Ritchie on the defense end.
Hogg said that although the
team is young, the players have
strength and potential.
"Although this year's team
may not be a high scoring team,
we should be the fastest one in
the conference," said Hogg.
Hogg and her student assistant, Aimec Haines, are looking
forward to watching this team
