WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Gaffey still at home on sideline

But these days, the process of helping mold young men into productive basketball players and quality people isn't as all-consuming as it once was for the former Palmyra and Annville-Cleona head coach.
It's still extremely important, mind you, but not to the degree that it has any chance of interfering with the more important job of being an involved father helping to raise his two children, Scott, 16, and Victoria, 11, with wife Stephanie.
In a sense, it's a best-of-both worlds life for Gaffey now. He's successfully juggling family life with a full-time teaching career in the Steelton-Highspire School District and a busy, but rewarding, part-time job as the head men's basketball coach at Penn State Harrisburg, where he's turned a once-floundering program into a championship-level one.
Gaffey's story is the latest installment of the monthly Daily News feature, "Where Are They Now," which focuses on former prominent local athletes and coaches and their current lives and careers.
"It's really meant a lot, but it's funny, I don't know if it's as gratifying as some of the success I had at Palmyra and Annville," Gaffey said, of taking PSU Harrisburg from an eight-win team in his first season four years ago to two straight regular-season conference championships the last two years. "Now that I'm older, and as my children get older, I'm also cognizant, because I've been so involved in basketball for the last 25 years, that when my kids are involved in something I want to make sure that I can get to their event."
Gaffey began the process of elevating the Penn State Harrisburg program, which won a school-record 20 games this season and came within a victory of an NCAA Tournament berth, by bringing in a couple players he coached at the high-school level, Kenton Alston from Steel-High and Brian Barry from Annville-Cleona. They helped Gaffey implement the same type of respectful - foul language is not permitted from players or coaches - team-focused culture that helped bring him success in high school.
Gaffey, who still resides in Palmyra, is also in the unique position of having a former player as his boss, former Susquehanna Township and Penn State standout Rahsaan Carlton, who played for Gaffey's father Bill when the younger Gaffey was serving as an assistant coach.
That, and the fact that college hoops is minus the open gyms and summer leagues that makes high-school coaching a year-round proposition, has further enhanced Gaffey's ability to spend as much time being a dad as being a coach. There's still, of course, recruiting to be done, but even that work can be scheduled around family time.
"It's given me that family peace that I needed," Gaffey said. "Obviously, you have to recruit, but I can recruit on my own schedule. Even if it's a four-star recruit that we really, really need or really, really want, if my son (a member of the JV team at Palmyra) has a game or my daughter has a musical performance, I still have that option (of being there)."

Health and safety fears denying children of 'sheer joy of nature', says National Trust chief

Warning: Fiona Reynolds, head of the National Trust, said stopping children from playing outdoors was harmful
Children are being denied the sheer joy of being outdoors due to health and safety fears, the head of the National Trust warned today.
Dame Fiona Reynolds also said that cosseted upbringings are also damaging youngsters fitness and weakening their immune system.
Figures show that children are now three times more likely to injure themselves by falling out of bed than from a tree and that unsupervised roaming has shrunk by 90 per cent since the 1970s.
Dame Fiona said applying the health and safety culture of the city to the countryside was wrong.
The world has become a very different place, and people have become very anxious about the risks real or perceived, she told The Times.
But its a matter of knowing where the risks are, but not trying to wipe them away, she added.
Children are missing out on the sheer joy and physical and mental wellbeing of being able to play outside and experience nature in all its messiness.

The recently concluded health and fitness exhibition featured an interesting workshop that aimed at creating awareness among the kids to ensure their well being.
What was a CAT doing at an exhibition on health and fitness? Well, CAT is actually, Children Against Tobacco. This new campaign launched by the Mary Anne Charity Trust aims to arm children to take on tobacco addiction, with the right kind of information and awareness. This awareness campaign was held at the Valluvar Kottam during the Youth Health Mela. Schools registered for the CAT workshop.
When you look at big companies that are into tobacco manufacturing, they have diversified into other products because of the ban on advertising tobacco products. Their strategy is to make sure that their potential consumers, that is children, who start off by using a pencil or notebook marketed under their brand name eventually move on to their tobacco products as well, says Cyril Alexander. We need to get to these potential consumers before the companies do, he says, speaking of the objective behind this initiative.
Having put up a stall at the five-day health exhibition, CAT saw a lot of schools register for the one-hour workshops conducted throughout the day. Before they could sit for the sessions, the children had their picture taken so that it could be printed along with their certificates.
The workshop included the screening of a short film that had a child narrate how his life was affected because his father smoked, and was followed by a question and answer session to check how much the children had really understood. To convince them further of the ill-effects of smoking, a cancer survivor addressed the children. The person had to speak with the help of a device that is placed near his neck to bring out his electronically-modified voice. He asked the children to talk to adults who smoked or chewed tobacco and urge them to give it up lest they end up like him.
The workshop concluded with the children taking an oath to rid the country of tobacco. And for those who thought they were safe as long as they didn't smoke, Cyril Alexander's proclamation that they were all smokers came as a surprise. Irrespective of whether you smoke a cigarette or not, you are all affected by it as passive smokers, he said.
The children left with their certificates and a lot to ponder over.
MARY, VIII, Chennai High School, Rangarajapuram: The workshop was very informative. I learnt about how it affects our health. My father is a smoker and I will now tell him to quit the habit saying else he will have to suffer the repercussions like cancer and other ailments.
SANTHOSH, VII, Chennai High School, Rangarajapuram: I liked the part where the cancer survivor spoke as it was proof of how tobacco can affect you. My uncle is a smoker. Whenever I ask him to give it up he usually asks me to mind my own business. But now I will try convincing him again backed by what I have learnt today.
