Four named to PSUWB board
Four new members have been named to the Penn State Wilkes-Barre 2012-2013 Campus Advisory Board.
Richard K. Struthers, also a Penn State alumnus, is the president and CEO of Ashford Point Enterprises in Wilmington, Delaware. A Business Administration graduate, he was recognized in 1998 as a Penn State Alumni Fellow and in 2002 as a Distinguished Alumnus. He currently serves on the corporate boards of Dover Downs Gaming and Dover Downs Motorsports.

Besides paying the alumni group $30 million, “from 1998 to 2002, MBNA also agreed to pay Penn State an additional $500,000 a year to ensure that it didn’t make deals with other banks and that football coach Joe Paterno kept up his end of another MBNA marketing agreement. Terms of Paterno’s deal weren’t disclosed,”

“Besides the alumni deal, Bank of America and its predecessor, MBNA America Bank, have paid Pennsylvania State University at least $7 million since 1998 for the list of season-ticket holders to Penn State football and basketball games.
As part of that deal, the bank gets the use of coveted VIP seats and parking spaces at Penn State’s Beaver Stadium. Spokeswoman Betty Riess said the bank typically gives those seats as premiums to high-spending borrowers.

Thanks, Mike, too for the article on Freeh. erose and co. did a lot of work on the MBNA and Freeh earlier. Sry not to have a url.
Mike
Thanks for the blog link and the story about Louis Freeh and his connections to PS and the SM. I appears that this report that cost the PS BOT a bundle was an opportunity for Freeh to pay back something that he didn’t like while deflecting information about himself and a few others.
As I said earlier, Freeh is all about being the “clean up man” for a lot of things. This guy needs to be investigated too.

Al Lerner
Lerner became chairman of MBNA Bank investing 100 million of his own money in the initial public offering (IPO) of the corporation. He also owned the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League, after purchasing the rights to the team in 1998.
http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Al_Lerner
MBNA History
By the mid-1990s, it was marketing to fans of nearly 200 different professional sports organizations, including National Football League teams, motor sports fans, and teams in every other major sport.
Lerner was called in to run the bank, and he made the decision to sell MBNA. Shortly after the public stock offering, MBNA’s stock price soared, and Lerner realized more than enough profit from his MBNA shares to offset his losses from his ownership in MNC. Lerner, who still owned about ten percent of MBNA in the early 1990s, became CEO of the newly formed MBNA Corporation. Still, Cawley, as president, continued to run the company.
In 1998 alone MBNA completed 25 acquisitions, including the acquisition of the credit card operations of PNC (Pittsburg National Corp.) Bank Corp. in December for about $2.9 billion.
MBNA also entered into a marketing partnership with Infoseek Corporation, which operated the GO Network. The GO Network included such high-profile Web sites as ABCNEWS.com, ESPN.com, NFL.com, Mrshowbiz.com, and Infoseek.com. Infoseek claimed that the GO Network had eight million members. The deal, estimated by MBNA to be worth up to $100 million, included an affinity credit card aimed at online consumers. The deal ultimately collapsed when the GO Network was shut down by Disney causing MBNA to write off its investment.

Founder: Charles Cawley currently retired and living in Camden Maine.

Al Lerner, of course, would end up owning the expansion franchise despite having his fingerprints all over the Cleveland football franchise move to Baltimore. Lerner, a minority Browns owner and a close friend of Modell, had ties to Maryland as founder of Maryland National Bank (MBNA) which was first headquartered in Baltimore.
In 1995, Public Enemy Number Two was Al Lerner. He was also probably the man who planted the seed in Modell’s head to get a quick payday despite the negative consequence that were sure to follow.
Lerner orchestrated the deal with the Governor of Maryland, who would found a new stadium with public tax dollars, flew his private jet to seal the deal, and profited mightily. He somehow pulled off a miraculous Machiavellian maneuver and returned to Cleveland to purchase the team which his family would later sell and profit from once again. He has been honored by the Cleveland Browns with his initials on his sleeves for the past ten years after he passed away in 2002. He seemed to be either forgiven or forgotten by the Cleveland fanbase as the man behind the move. Instead of being vilified, he was hoisted upon a pedestal. Years from now the only thing historians will note in his involvement with the Cleveland Brownss moving the team in 1995, is assembling a very poor franchise that has been the joke of the NFL for over a decade, and his family making a ton of money by selling their investment (which happened not once, but twice).

Major Media did not unveil the PSU scandal
http://newslanc.com/2012/09/10/major-media-did-not-unveil-the-psu-scandal/
Ric Struthers was also on the board of TSM: http://alumni.psu.edu/awards/individual/daa/docs/2002-distinguished/Struthers.pdf
and a colleague of Freeh at MBNA.
http://tominpaine.blogspot.com/ does a nice write up of the ties between them, PSU and TSM.
I noticed on the 1998 and 1999 form 990 for TSM a $1000 scholarship recipient was named Patrick Corbett. I know it’s not Tom Corbett’s son, but does anyone know if they are related?
We’re getting a 2fer!

Besides this event, and Pacino getting the part of Paterno, the only other released news of late is Sandusky’s sentencing date. There is definately a group of people that know PSU and aren’t buying what the BOT and Freeh are selling. JMO, but I am listening.
http://deadspin.com/penn-state-scandal/
Pacino is a perfect cast, bar none. Franco Harris is destined to play himself I presume.
Except he won’t be in the cut.
If the BOT was smart, they would be recording all sessions and publishing them in their efforts of transparency.
I am so not prepared who will play Jer. Ick.
B
Pacino *is* perfect, I agree hoo-ahh.
Roman Polanski could play Sandusky with little effort, snark, if he were allowed back in the county.
After the Neil Diamond song was ditched, I had a conversation with one of my kids about Sweet Caroline, and he pointed out to me the ’70′s was rife with songs about older males yearning for young girls. I guess the yearning for young boys was kept on the down low. Just goes to show how we had a hard time sorting out pedophilia from homosexuality. (We’ve come a long way, baby!)
example: young girl, gettoutta my mind, my thoughts of you are way outta line, turn and run girl, you’re much too young girl…with all the *charms* of a woman…
Guys like Polanski were a part of that culture, and not seeing anything wrong with what they were doing.
how about Gary Busey to play uncle jerry, si or no?
Oh, I’ve got it. Nick Nolte.

HuffPo caught up with Greg Bucceroni…old news
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/20/jerry-sandusky-child-porn-ring_n_1900800.html
HOLD THE PHONE-
Is this Bucceroni’s first naming of the man who abused him for $200 because Sandusky was late and Savitz was a freak about that? I do not ever remember hearing Fogletta named outside of the suit against PolyPrep or did I miss that entirely?
B
The suit against Poly Prep:
SHAME AT POLY PREP AFTER SEX ABUSE SCANDAL
Zarnock says Foglietta, the burly coach with a booming voice and a beer keg body who turned Poly Prep into a city football power and died in 1998, abused him hundreds of times after that.
http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-06-09/news/32145178_1_foglietta-abuse-phil-foglietta-harlow-parker
Oct 2009
An elite Brooklyn private school long dogged by accusations that its football coach molested his players was slapped yesterday with a federal lawsuit by seven alumni alleging it covered up the sexual abuse for decades.
The suit, filed in Brooklyn federal court, accuses the current and former headmasters of Poly Prep Country Day School in Dyker Heights of having known that the football coach, Philip Foglietta, abused “dozens, if not hundreds” of boys.
Read more: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/item_KBFWs6is7ZxxUcTydvylRM#ixzz2785j31sQ
I did some research on the history of AD’s at PSU. The reason being is that in Bucceroni’s recent story, there is claims that PSU offered Foglietta a staff position under Paterno several times. It got me thinking, who made those offers? The AD?
Paterno was AD from ’80-’82.
snip>
“There wasn’t anyone more loyal to Penn State than Ed Czekaj,” said Coach Joe Paterno, who succeeded Czekaj as Athletic Director from 1980-82. ” As a player and as an administrator, he was a very, very strong leader of Athletics at Penn State. He was a wonderful person and a good friend.”
http://www.gopsusports.com/genrel/111709aaa.html
(having trouble w/links, breaking post)
Jim Tarman was the AD prior to Curley. The York Daily Record has an article titled “Tarman ran after a dream” that they originally published in 1997, that they chose to run again in Jan 2012. It also has a phrase about lawyers and doctors and bankers, which was the same profile of people Bucceroni claimed were at the “events” he participated in as a child prostitute aka victim.
These stories date back to the ’70′s. We now know of Sandusky, Savitz, Ward and Foglietta as members of the ring, according to Bucceroni. Who pushed for Foglietta to be on the PSU staff? Who was AD at the time, because by the sounds of it, Foglietta was offered the job several times. He was the one who turned it down. And why did the York Daily Record see the need to re-run the story of Tarman during the peak of the Sandusky/Penn State/TSM Scandal?
Doesn’t the contrast of Sandusky preying on the underprivileged throwaways and outside of the occasional dalliance (Bucceroni and friend) Foglietta preying on the seriously privileged- present an interesting discussion about the universal-ness of child sexual abuse and the lure and quieting techniques of it’s offenders?
B
Hard to think Tarman wasn’t just as aware of Sandusky as Curley, Schultz and Paterno. He was on the BOT until ’04.
Following a short stint as a sports writer and public relations director, he entered the field of sports information, first at Princeton and then 12 years at Penn State University. In 1970 he was inducted into the College Sports Information Directors of America Hall of Fame, the same year he was named assistant athletics director at Penn State. On March 1, 1980 he was named Penn State’s director of athletics, a position he held until his retirement in 1993.
During his tenure, the stature and scope of the Nittany Lion’s athletic program was increased significantly, physical facilities were greatly expanded and Penn State was accepted for membership in the nation’s most prestigious conference, the Big Ten. No single development in Penn State athletic history has been more dramatic, meaningful and historical on the national level than the move to the Big Ten – a development in which Jim played a major role.
He was named the College’s Distinguished Alumnus in 1992 and for 12 years served as a member of the College’s Board of Trustees.

re: privileged at Poly Prep. issue
I wouldn’t presume that the football players at Poly prep were entirely of the privileged class. A good many of these “prep schools” award significant scholarships (financial aid) to those willing to play football and have some talent. These prep schools also play with “post graduate” players who are usually all on some form of scholarship. Those schools who dont play in a regular state sanctioned league play but with other prep schools who all use post graduate players. The post grads have already graduated from some sort of high school and go to the prep schools for a year or so to either improve at football and get some strength or to improve their grades especially the sat scores so they can get into a better school even though they play football. Believe it or not, the ncaa does have some minimum academic requirements for a student to play division I sports.
I believe that at least a good many of the post graduate players may be from a disadvantaged background and view the prep school as a good way to advance both academically and especially in football. Naturally, the football coach at any prep school has a good deal of influence over their futures. A few calls can perhaps get them into a decent D1 sports school and the chance to play in the NFL or get them blackballed where only a DII or III school will take a chance.
Of course, some of the players may just be from the regular student population. These kids may be a bit more well off financially. There is a certain pressure at these prep schools to do something to contribute, whether it is to play sports (some play as many as three) or to play in the various bands and plays.
It may be somewhat revealing to try and find out where foglietta was able to “place” some of his players in order to see where he had connections. For that matter, who gave uncle jerry his recruiting tips for defensive players? After he became so well known, some of these coaches would probably salivate all over their nike shoes if they got so much as a phone call from jerry.
Having said all that, I really do not think that a perv/creeper coach would attempt to mess with a blue chip type player as the possibility of eventually being found out would be too great – odd as it may seem these pervs are not idiots as evidenced by how long they can go without being caught. Most likely they would groom a person they perceive to be a “weaker” athlete who needed more “guidance.”
An interesting follow up may be to get some information about the prevalence of homosexuals in sports – not only mens but womens as well. BTW, there are numerous news accounts of female coaches establishing some sort of “relationship” with their young charges. Among the women here, who used to think that their female gym teacher was a little odd?
The new york times ran some articles recently about the Horace Mann school (a NYC prep school) sex abuse scandal – another football coach.
I think many would be surprised to find that their favorite alpha male athlete is not so alpha after all.
sorry for the long winded post – I was in a football mood today after watching a good deal of it this Saturday.
Add to list: Alpha Omega House + Rev Bernie Lane
In Boston, Ward’s interest in troubled children intensified as he learned firsthand how the child welfare system works, and how it could be manipulated. He joined the staff of Alpha Omega, a home for white, middle-class kids struggling with alcohol, drug and behavior problems, compounded by, in many cases, a history of sexual trauma. Alpha Omega’s sprawling grounds in Littleton provided a secluded haven in the suburbs, much like the one Ward would eventually establish at his Main Line house. Ward learned Gestalt therapy there, too. Unlike traditional psychoanalysis, Gestalt doesn’t focus on interpretation, but rather on what a patient is feeling “here and now.” The therapist designs “experiments,” verbal or physical exercises aimed at encouraging self-discovery and breaking down internal conflicts. It can be a powerful process, deeply emotional for both the patient and therapist. Kids at Alpha Omega thought Ward was a psychiatrist.
He also met Alpha Omega’s director, the Reverend Bernie Lane. Lane had a reputation among his colleagues for being overly emotional with the children, a little too quick to defend them rather than discipline them. In 1978, the state received a sexual abuse complaint from one of the boys Lane would invite to his waterfront vacation cottage in New Hampshire. Investigators, swayed by the church’s influence, allowed Lane to resign, and the Archdiocese of Boston simply, quietly, relocated him to another parish.
It may have been coincidence, but shortly after Lane was accused of molestation, Ward left Harvard and his brownstone on Beacon Hill for Wharton. He arrived in Philadelphia armed with all the tools he’d need to satisfy his lust and get away with it — psychological training, a thorough understanding of the child welfare system, and a talent for convincing those around him that his desire to help kids was selfless and pure.

Add: Rebound Foundation
Former Providence College basketball star Marvin Barnes was arraigned Monday on a charge of soliciting a minor, the Providence Journal reported.
A 17-year-old girl from Cranston, R.I, told police that Barnes, 59, solicited her for sex after they met through his Rebound Foundation for at-risk youths.
http://msn.foxsports.com/collegebasketball/story/Marvin-Barnes-former-Providence-star-charged-with-soliciting-sex-from-a-minor-011612
Until they met Ward. He established a nonprofit called the ***Rebound Foundation*** for disadvantaged youth, and used it to make contacts at a series of private schools that Mark and Ian would attend, with his help.
http://www.phillymag.com/articles/the-brilliant-professor-ward/
The pedophiles handbook must start out with: #1 start a charity for disadvantaged youths.
snip>
In December 1990, Wharton School professor Lawrence Scott Ward offered a social worker help in caring for an illiterate Kensington street kid who had bad acne and couldn’t read the hands on a watch.
Ward wrote a letter introducing himself and other University of Pennsylvania faculty as part of a foundation for “disadvantaged adolescents with special needs,” Sidney Arnette, a former Philadelphia Department of Human Services social worker, testified yesterday in Montgomery County Court.
On the second day of Ward’s sexual misconduct trial, Deputy District Attorney Mark S. Miller set out to show that the foundation was a front used by Ward to legitimize an alleged sexual relationship with the Kensington boy. In return for sex, Miller said, the boy received money, clothes and medical care.
Arnette and other counselors who worked with the boy as he bounced between the street and various institutions also testified that the boy was manipulative. But they all said they had never heard of Ward’s organization, called the Rebound Foundation. And the chairman of the marketing department at Wharton – where Ward still teaches – testified that Ward had never informed him of Rebound either.
Green argued that the foundation had at least two other University of Pennsylvania employees on its board and had helped other youths.

It was a well known thing in the early to late seventies that non-profits got paid through the foster care and CPS programs. I would not even know how to begin that research project on how many were started, and ultimately dissolved due to these issues.
Getting that kind of info from the IRS would make locating Hoffa look easy.
B
Can’t remember if we posted this earlier, but it’s a shortened version of a post by an atty who represented some of Lawrence Scott Ward’s victims in civil suits. Also, it touches a bit on the broader, social context of Main Line, PA and nearly Montgomery County. And on how Ward operated. He had a non-profit-help-the-poor-troubled-kids charity also, it seems.
Blink and erose: that, um, other feller from our early convos here graduated from Wharton in ’65, with a finance degree. All these folks can’t be connected. Plenty of atrocities operating independently.
Ward was known about for years. Meeting a pimp at the local McDonald’s? People like me listen in on those convos–don’t they know that? Lol.

It took the Philly DA’s office about ten yrs to get to the prosecution phase on Ed Savitz. Which was accomplished under Abraham’s watch, right? Other DAs in charge earlier.
But she doesn’t know anything about Bucceroni’s current claims:
“Lynne Abraham, the former Philadelphia district attorney who prosecuted the Savitz case, told The News that she was unaware of any connection between Savitz, Sandusky and Ward. “I know nothing about this,” she said.”

I haven’t been able, due to work load, to meet BOC’s standards for documenting what we post. I’ve been getting stuff by hearsay. But I have found, though not had time to keep in an organized way, publicly available documentation for what I am posting in today’s data dump.
Will somebody take on the linking part? If it’s important. Otherwise, can I just represent it as “hearsay”? Just to post it. I think erose and some of you guys know all this already, too, and are holding back on posting, maybe.
I think the investigation and prosecution of Ward and of Savitz were delayed as long as Sandusky’s was. Savitz, because his still-living brother was a power player in PA, esp in Philadelphia. And a member of the prestigous Union League of Philadelphia(ULP). Don’t know if Ed actually was also, but I guess so if Bucceroni is correct (see his Twitter convos).
Can’t get the entire ULP membership list; it’s private. By googling ULP, full name, and a person’s name you can sometimes pull up a published connection. I gather not everyone makes their membership know; or scrubs the internet.
I have found documentation of Leroy Zimmermann’s contributions to one of ULP’s charities, but you don’t have to be a member to contribute. Besides, that connection isn’t necessary; politicians and others usually do favors for “important people” and those people in the aggregate.
Fine by me beejay.
B
This is really old stuff, and maybe not worth working on. Just want to mention it in case we need to go back. My only archives are here.
So many people use the name ‘Rebound’ for their programs; gets confusing. I only mention this because that name was used by Ward, in some connection with U Penn. And might have been chosen by him thru some connection with, or knowledge of another Rebound program under the auspices of Philadelphia Child Guidance Clinic, subsumed under The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (“CHOP”).
CHOP is next door to U Penn in Philly, and there are lots of joint appointments, etc. Link below to Wiki’s blurb on that. The old child guidance clinics around the country took on various names as times changed. Their function remained. I believe when de-institutionalization occurred, and in 1987 when Pennhurst was closed, many of those “imbeciles and insane” patients would’ve been referred to the community hospitals’ psychiatric services/outpatient mental health centers for ongoing followup. There is/was a CHOP facility in Shulykill. Isn’t that where the murdered black child with developmental delays lived? the foster child Ganim went to interview. Not sure.

__________
This is on Ward’s own Rebound:
“He also found time to run a non-profit organization called the “Rebound Foundation” which was comprised of students and faculty at the University of Pennsylvania to help troubled youth. I never heard of it when I was at Penn. But that was no surprise, as the charity existed as a legal entity which Ward produced when he wanted legitimacy and the Penn name so that he could get access to troubled youth that he should not have had.”
