Selinsgrove professor publishes study of Centralia mine fire failures

Selinsgrove, Pa. — More than 60 years after an underground coal mine fire made a ghost town of Centralia, Theresa Finley, department head and associate professor of economics at Susquehanna University, set out to determine why decades of efforts by local, state, and federal officials failed to extinguish the blaze and save the Columbia County mining community. “I first heard about Centralia when I moved from Virginia to Pennsylvania and a former colleague asked me, ‘Is Susquehanna close to the city that had a fire underground for decades?’” Finley said. “This prompted me to learn more about the town and its history.” Finley’s scholarship includes the study of institutions. She is especially interested in trying to understand why some systems work and others fail. The history of Centralia offered the perfect opportunity to explore this phenomenon. Her paper, “Political Economy and Externalities: A Case Study of the Centralia Mine Fire,” recently published by journal Homo Oeconomicus , explores how coordination challenges among government agencies and other organizations contributed to the difficulties of addressing the Centralia mine fire between 1962 and 1983. Drawing on the work of influential institutional economists Elinor Ostrom and Ronald Coase, which offers a framework for understanding

After Years of Playing Covers Locally, State College Couple Turns Their Stories Into Debut Album

After decades of playing other artists’ music, local residents Steve and Kristi Jean Branstetter are telling their own stories. The State College couple recently released the self-titled debut al b um from One Acre West , an Americana band built around original songs shaped by their years of traveling, raising a family, building careers and finding a home in central Pennsylvania. Released Sept. 18, the album blends traditional country influences with folk, blues and Southern rock. Recorded in Texas with an Austin-based producer, the 10-track album marks a new chapter for the musicians, who spent more than a decade performing cover songs around Centre County before deciding to focus on their own material. “We've been married for a really long time. We met when we were both living in Colorado,” Steve Branstetter said. Music has been part of their relationship since the beginning. The two met while living in Colorado and spent years performing in cover bands to support themselves, including gigs in Denver, Wyoming, Nebraska and Mexico. “We played in cover bands for decades, and it just was one of those things that the nature of music kind of changed around in this area.
