    The Betrayal of Joe Paterno: How It All Probably Happened Submitted by jzadmin on Wed, 07/10/2013 - 10:54 “A lie gets half way around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.” Winston Churchill "In the aftermath of the Freeh Report, the powers that be at present at Penn State should have the good graces to suspend the football program for at least a year, perhaps more.” Bob Costas, July 17th, 2012 “That doesn’t necessarily make sense.” Bob Costas, May 29th, 2013, on the underlying theory of the same Freeh Report A year ago this week the Freeh Report investigation of Penn State and Joe Paterno was released to great fanfare. Largely because of that report, most people seem to think they know the story of the Jerry Sandusky scandal. Almost all of them are at least somewhat mistaken, and most are very wrong about what actually happened. Amazingly, the average media person, because they have a stronger incentive to believe they didn’t blindly perpetrate a false narrative, appears to be even more in the dark than the typical American is about the real truth of this tragedy. After spending most of the past year and a half researching, pondering, and speaking to more people closer to the Jerry Sandusky case than likely anyone else in the world, even I am still not positive that I know exactly what really transpired in the so called “Penn State Scandal.” While I am quite certain that the largely accepted media storyline of some concerted “cover up” by Penn State of Sandusky’s crimes is false, I am somewhat convinced that we may never know for sure precisely what actually did occur.

  • Ready...Set...Retire!
    A QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER FOR THE RETIREES OF LYCOMING COUNTY READY...SET...RETIRE! VOLUME 7, ISSUE 1 FEBRUARY 2012 Submitted By: Nancy Stugart The celebration of the New Year is the oldest of all holidays. It was first observed in ancient Babylon about 4000 years ago. The Romans observed the New Year in late March. In order to set the calendar right, the Ro- man senate, in 153 BC, declared January 1 to be the beginning of the New Year. In order to synchronize the calendar with the sun, Caesar had to let the previous year drag on for 445 days. NEW YEAR TRADITIONS Traditions include making New Year's resolutions. That tradition dates back to the early Babylo- nians. Many resolutions we make include the promise to lose weight, quit smoking or eating sweets. The early Babylonian's most popular resolution was to return borrowed farm equip- ment. The Tournament of Roses Parade dates back to 1886. In some cultures, Father Time is only seen during the New Year. This is because he is thought to hand over the duties of the New Year to Baby New Year. Some believe that Father Time is constantly watching us and has every one of our hourglasses slowly de- creasing, sand slipping through the hands of time. PAGE 2 READY...SET...RETIRE!
