The Bloomsburg Fair is known
for bringing in money, but students may not know that if they
work at the fair, they could walk
away with up to $550 in one
week, according to junior Ashley
Kurtz.
Kurtz works at Catino’s Italian
Specialties in the fair, which
offers cannolis, soups, sandwiches, Italian candies, and some
other things. She has worked
there for five years and knows the
owners because they are family
friends.
When in high school, Kurtz
would earn up to $400-$500 for
the week, but since she has a hectic course load this semester, she
made around $250 a week. The
most Kurtz made in one week at
the fair was $550.
Another perk to working at the
fair is getting a free pass for the
whole week which is good once a

day, even if they don’t have to
work, says Kurtz.
“I love the environment and the
owners are awesome and easy to
get along with. There’s also great
food,” said Kurtz.
Kurtz’s advice to students
looking for a job at the fair is to
go to the fairgrounds when the
businesses are setting up prior to
the opening and talk to some of
the vendors.
“…That is usually the best time
because they’re looking for people willing to work when they
need them,” said Kurtz.
Junior Audra Briggs is another
BU student who moonlights as a
fair vendor during the week.
Briggs works for Denny and
Pearl’s Pizza, which is her grandparents’ stand. In addition to their
five pizza stands throughout the
fair, they also have stands with
stromboli, fried dough, funnel
cakes, cotton candy, caramel
apples, snow cones, lemonade,
and Bar-B-Q.
Briggs has worked at the fair
since she was 10 years old. The
stand she works at is located
across from the cattle barn this
year.
Denny and Pearl, Briggs’
grandparents, were introduced to
the pizza business in 1965 and
opened Polock’s Drive in
Berwick in 1971. Her grandparents opened their first stand at the
Bloomsburg Fair in 1973.
“They have been doing the
business a long time,” said
Briggs. “It is all secret family
recipes.”
Briggs enjoys eating both the
pizza and the stromboli. Her family eats pizza all the time, she
said.
“My dad always pays hourly
rates so we stick with minimum
wage because we don’t want to
pay under minimum wage, then
we wouldn’t have any workers,” said Briggs.
Briggs’ favorite part about
working at the stand is seeing
her friends from school and
hearing them say they like the
pizza.
Denny and Pearl’s pizza travel to western Pennsylvania and
people think that they are
famous.
“People legit ask for my
autographs,”
grandparents’
Briggs said.
Mayor Dan Knorr has not
worked at the fair, but he has
attended the fair at least 20
times.
“I think it is a great opportunity for them [students] to earn
some extra money. It’s what
makes the fair happen when
you have students who are willing to work part-time for the
week,” Knorr said in a phone
interview.
Knorr had friends who
worked at the fair in high school
and made good money.
“It’s hard to say because in
high school just about anything
was good money. If you were
willing to work, you could
make several hundred dollars
there in a week,” said Knorr.
According to Knorr, he did
not want to work at the fair
because it was something he
really enjoyed going to.
His favorite place to go at the
fair is the apple cider stand,
while he also splurges on taffies
and funnel cake.
Knorr believes the fair is a
great thing for students to go see
and check out. As a former BU
student, he knows that it is easy Not only does Denny & Pearl’s sell pizza, but they offer a variety
for fair week to just be another of other foods such as stromboli, fried dough, funnel cakes, cotweek on campus. Knorr hopes ton candy, caramel apples, snow cones, lemonade, and Bar-B-Q.
students decide to check it out.
Changes made to university policies
Fairgoers patiently wait in line to enjoy some of Denny & Pearl’s famous pizza. BU junior Audra
Briggs is the grandchild of the stand’s owners and a vendor at Denny & Pearl’s pizza.
BU trustees vote to amend student code of conduct
BY JOSEPH FISHER
Managing Editor
In their first meeting of the
semester, the BU trustees
decided to make changes to
the student and student-athlete
code of conduct.
The major change is in the
school’s
alcohol
policy,
specifically how it is written
and phrased in The Pilot, the
BU student handbook.
“We cleared some language
up, we made it a little bit more
concise, and hopefully to the
point where students have a
better understanding of what
the expectations are,” said
Donald Young, dean of students at BU.
Young said that last year his
office received 1,900 violations to the student code of
conduct, over one-third of
those violations were alcoholrelated.
Another approval from the
trustees was to make e-mail
messages formal means of
communication between the
university and campus community.
“I think that e-mails and
text messaging are good to
send to students because it’s
fast and easy and most students have a blackberry or
iPhone so they get [the information] right away,” said
Tracey Vogt, junior at BU.
The size of the judicial
board was also amended at the
meeting. This board is responsible for hearing students’
cases that could result in suspension or even expulsion
from the university.
The decision was to move
from a three-member voting
board, to a five-member board
including the chairperson who
acts as a non-voting member.
Young says that the more people on the board, the better.
“We wanted to expand it to
five, because we thought the
chair should take more
responsibility in the process,”
said Young. “The chair is
responsible for the process,
the flow of the hearing, the
gathering of the information,
and to be a more impartial part
of the decision making.”
There were also changes to
the student-athlete code of
conduct; one of the big
changes comes in the reporting timeline after a player is
involved with a violation of a
university policy. Athletes are
required to see their coach or
the athletic director immediately after an offense.
“It gives immediate punishment, but there’s also some
lead way for additional punishment down the line,” said
Bill Cleary, head women’s
basketball coach at BU.
Coach Cleary, who is about
to start his fifth season at BU,
is in full agreement with the
changes and believes that the
excuse of not being on university property while violating a
university policy has no validation.
“It’s a privilege to be an athlete, it’s not a right,” said
Cleary. “Just because you
have a uniform does not necessarily mean you play, doesn’t necessarily mean you are
above the rules, it doesn’t
guarantee you anything. Every
action has a consequence.”
Many students on campus
have expressed their concern
for the university overstepping their boundaries by holding them accountable for their
actions off campus.
Junior Shawn Mitchell, who
is on the defensive line for the
Huskies
football
team,
believes that he should be able
to take care of any situation he
finds himself in.
“I don’t think the coach
needs to be involved,” said
Mitchell.
The same goes for the aver-
age student on campus.
Wrongdoings off campus can
easily collide with your academic career.
“As
a
student
at
Bloomsburg University you
are responsible for your
behavioral
expectations
because you are a student, not
because of where you live,”
Young said.
That policy was just amended to make students better
understand the consequences
they face wherever they are.
Students still believe they are
being treated unfairly.
“I don’t think that’s fair if
you get in trouble downtown,”
said Anne Iddings, BU junior.
“I think your social life and
school should be kept completely separate.”
Iddings is not alone. “If
you’re off campus then why
does it have anything to do
with the school,” said Tracey
Vogt. “We go here, but we
don’t have to do everything
the school says at all times.”
Although there is much
opposition from students at
BU, university officials hope
that these new modifications
will improve the campus community by making violators
responsible for their actions.

Romney Teams Up with Nicklaus
to Intensify Campaign in Ohio
The Voice

BY JOHN MCCORMICK
Bloomberg News
BEDFORD HEIGHTS, Ohio
- With early voting starting next
week in the battleground state of
Ohio, both presidential candidates courted voters there
Wednesday
with
greater
urgency, using a sport legend
and China trade to make their
cases.
Mitt Romney showcased his
celebrity support, including
golfing legend Jack Nicklaus.
President Barack Obama campaigned on a college campus in
northwest Ohio.
Romney, 65, is ramping up his
schedule as he tries to tamp
down complaints from some
Republican leaders that he has
spent too much time raising
money. With two new polls
showing Obama leading in
Ohio, Romney stepped up his
attacks on the incumbent during
his two-day bus tour of the state,
which started Tuesday and
included
three
events
Wednesday.
"We can't afford four more
years like the last four years,"
Romney said during his second
stop of the day, at a spring-wire
manufacturing plant in the
Cleveland suburb of Bedford
Heights. "We've got to get this
economy going again."
Nicklaus, 72, known as the
Golden Bear by his fans, said
earlier Wednesday at a Romney
rally in Westerville, a suburb of
Columbus, that he likes the
Republican nominee because of
his free-market views.
"I didn't lean on someone else
in tough times," he said of his
golf game. "And when I won, I
certainly didn't apologize for my
success."
At the manufacturing plant,
Romney was joined by Mike
Rowe, best known as the host of
the "Dirty Jobs" series on the
Discovery Channel.
Obama,
51,
focusing
Wednesday on younger voters.
Speaking to a largely collegeage crowd of about 5,500 people
at Bowling Green State
University, Obama urged his
audience to register and take
advantage of early voting, which
starts next week.
He again used Romney's
words, revealed in a video
recorded at a fundraiser, that 47
percent of voters view themselves as victims who are
dependent on government help.
"I don't see a lot of victims, I
see a lot of hard-working
Ohioans," Obama said. "We
don't believe in the government
helping those who won't help
themselves. But we do believe
in opportunity."
A Washington Post poll
released Tuesday showed
Obama leading in the state
among likely voters, 52 percent
to 44 percent. The survey
showed 36 percent of all Ohio
voters say they have been contacted by the Obama campaign,
while 29 percent said that of
Romney.
The
Quinnipiac
University/New
York
Times/CBS News poll released
Wednesday gave Obama a 53
percent to 43 percent advantage
in Ohio, including a 25-percentage-point lead among women.
"The field is looking like it's
narrowing for them," Jen Psaki,
an Obama re-election spokeswoman told reporters on Air
Force One traveling to Ohio.
"We'd rather be us than them."
After Florida, where polls
show Obama with a small lead,
Ohio is the second-largest state
among the 10 or so that strategists from both parties say will
decide the election. No
Republican has won the White
House without carrying Ohio,
which has 18 of the 270
Electoral College votes needed.
One of Romney's challenges
is making the case for change as
the economy is improving.
Ohio's unemployment rate in
August was 7.2 percent, lower
than the national figure of 8.1
percent.
Obama, Romney and their
allies aired more than 29,000 ads
on Ohio television stations in the
30-day period ended Sept. 17,
the most in any state.
Romney, as part of an attack
on Obama's economic record at
a rally Tuesday outside Dayton,
said the president has been too
lenient in dealing with China on
trade issues.
"When people cheat, that kills
jobs," he said. "China has cheated. I will not allow that to continue."
Romney has said one of five
executive orders he would issue
on his first day in the White
House would be to direct the
Treasury Department to list
China as a currency manipulator.
Obama told his audience at
Bowling Green that Romney's
claim that he would get tough on
trade with China is "just not
credible."
He said the Republican's message is better than talking about
"all the years he's spent profiting
on companies that send our jobs
to China."
White House press secretary
Jay Carney earlier told reporters
on the president's plane that "this
president, the secretary of the
Treasury and every high-level
Bloomsburg Weather
Friday, Sept. 28 Saturday, Sept. 29 Sunday, Sept. 30
official who meets with their
Chinese counterparts presses the
Chinese" on the currency issue.
"We have seen some improvement on the currency situation,
but not enough," Carney said.
The United States had a $295
billion trade deficit with China
last year, an 8.2 percent increase
over 2010. A report last month
by the Economic Policy Institute
in Washington said the imbalance between the world's two
largest economies has resulted
in the loss of 2.7 million U.S.
jobs in the past decade.
Allowing the yuan to appreciate would make Chinese goods
more expensive for American
consumers than they are now,
reducing U.S. imports of the
merchandise. The currency has
advanced 0.7 percent against the
dollar this month, the most since
December 2011.
At his Ohio event, Obama
highlighted trade cases the U.S.
has filed against China since he
took office.
The Obama administration
last week filed a challenge at the
World Trade Organization
accusing China of illegally subsidizing exports of automobiles
and auto parts. The complaint
was filed the day Obama campaigned in Ohio.
Romney and his aides said

that even with Obama's lead in
polls, it's too early to dismiss his
chances in Ohio.
"We trust our internal polls,"
Rich Beeson, Romney's political
director, told reporters on
Romney's campaign plane. "I
don't make any campaign decisions based on what I read in the
Washington Post."
Beeson said Obama's campaign is displaying excess confidence, like a U.S. football player who celebrates before crossing into the end-zone for a score.
"They are sort of spiking the
ball at the 30-yard line right
now," he said. "There are still 42
days to go. We are, by any
stretch, inside the margin of
error in Ohio."
Romney is seeking to rebound
from the political damage
caused by the release last week
of the secretly recorded video in
which he told donors that 47
percent of Americans feel victimized and entitled to federal
help and aren't likely to support
his candidacy.
Asked about those comments
in a CNN interview yesterday,
Romney said he is "overwhelmingly committed to helping
every American," especially
those " in the middle and at the
bottom that are struggling in the
Obama economy."

Surreal
attractions stun
fairgoers
BY EMILY GEORGE
Web Master
“Come see the snake lady! A
beautiful woman’s head and
face with the body of a terrible
snake!” and “She’s alive,
alive! A headless woman who
is miraculously alive!” were
advertisements
repeating
shouted across the milling
crowd at the fair.
Many eyes, young
and old, glanced at
the cartoon paintings on the stands
that advertise things
never seen anywhere else in an
attempt to make a
dollar, or two, from
the curious fairgoers.
Stands such as
the giant rat, the
headless woman,
and
the
snake
woman charge from
50 cents to a dollar
for people to get in
and extra to take a
picture. While the
snake woman was
only a woman with
her face in a hole and a stuffed
animal snake on top of her
head, the headless woman was
slightly more visually convincing because she was seated in the dark with a black
sheet over her face. While
these do not fool many, they
do make people want to take a
closer look.
The giant rat is a Capybara,
an animal that does not resemble the picture on the stand of
an angry rat with crazy eyes
and a long tail, but rather a
large, wise-looking creature
with a short tail. Placed by the
seemed, they added a certain
feel to the fair that made the
picture seem complete. While
many people appeared disgruntled as they left the stands
after seeing the medical miracle or atrocity, there seemed to
be just as many people who
came out amused.
N i c o l e
Seneca, a French
major who went to
the fair with her
parents, described
the sideshows as
“silly.”
“They’re so
odd now. It seems
old-fashioned, but
not in a good way,”
said Seneca. “You
can find odder
things with a quick
Google search.”
With other
attractions like the
world’s smallest
horse, the largest
alligator, and the
giant pig, there is
plenty to see and
there are some attractions that
advertise at the fair as well.
While it may not be the largest
alligator in the world, it is, in
fact, a very big alligator.
Despite the controversy, the
only way to know for sure is to
pay the money to sneak a
peek.

It seems oldfashioned, but not
in a good way.”

Why academic dishonesty
is on the rise
Fair helps flood memories fade
Shown above, one of the many vendors on the Bloomsburg fairgrounds this week.
For those who weren’t in or
near Bloomsburg when the flood
happened in 2011, the Bloomsburg Fair taking place this year
wouldn’t signal anything more
than a colorful town tradition.
Bloomsburg, which boasts a
sign saying it’s “The Only Town
in Pennsylvania,” prides itself
on this huge weeklong event.
The assumption is that it will be
around every year to welcome in
a new autumn, along with thousands of enthralled visitors.
Last year, however, the gates
never opened, all because the
floodgates had already flung
wide open. For the first time
since the Civil War, Bloomsburg
did not have the means to host
its eponymous fair.
The return of the fair this
year, however, has not only
demonstrated how many strides
this town has made since last
fall, but also the effect and excitement that this fair brings to
Bloomsburg and the other towns
which surround it. Walking onto
the fairgrounds for the first time
in two years is enough to make
one think they are experiencing
it for the first time all over
again. Some people come for the
live entertainment, including
country singers and puppeteers.
Some come for the food, including delectables made by “the
originator” of the fried Oreo and
delicious funnel cakes. Mostly,
though, people go for the mere
experience of being there, creating an environment of genuine
wonder and excitement.
There is still work to be done.
The prices of the fair have been
raised this year to help try to
make up for the revenue lost last
year due to the fair’s cancellation. There are concerns that
none of the funds will go towards either restoring or removing the dispossessed and
abandoned homes which were
wrecked by floodwaters 12
months ago.
With that said, it is hard not to
think that Bloomsburg has, in
some way, returned to normalcy
after a devastating event which
took the whole campus and
town by surprise. This restores
some sort of balance to being in
Bloomsburg in September, and
reminds us how close town and
school can be, and often are,
When it comes time for
young Americans to cast their
ballot this fall, which candidate
will win their vote?
The Obama campaign, which
began back in 2008, has taken
strides to get where it is today.
But where exactly has Obama
taken us? The numbers and
hard facts that go along with
the campaign show a movement that had good intentions,
but some of those good intentions were never came through.
With the Sept. 4 announcement of the national debt,
which was reported at a shocking $16 trillion, the unforgiving actualities of the Obama
economy were brought to light.
But is that enough to steer an
entire population of young
Americans away from voting
for Obama to be elected for a
second term? If it’s not, then is
the fact that unemployment has
been above 8 percent since the
beginning of Obama’s term
enough? How about the fact
that half of recent college graduates are jobless, or that while
Obama has been in office, the
national debt has risen by $5
trillion? Is that enough?
It’s clear that I could continue on and on with the facts
and numbers that are sure to
leave a bad taste in the mouths
of all American’s, but is that
enough to give up on this man
who believes in a change?
Sure, the numbers are overwhelming, but would it be a
mistake to just give up on this
campaign?
At this point, it almost seems
like our government is meant
to let us down, but that is no
reason to forget that we are all
working to change the country,
something that takes time and
can’t happen in just four years.
President Obama understands that. He understands
that he cannot do anything
without us, and he learned that
back in 2008, when our generation helped him to win the
election. So why give up on the
man who created the Affordable Care Act, which allows
students just like us to stay on
our parents’ health plan until
we’re 26, guaranteeing us
health insurance when we
graduate college? Or the man
who made it possible for anyone to join the military, something that has been an issue for
years?
Obama has been courageous,
aggressive, and morally responsible throughout his term.
From standing up for women’s
rights and health to repairing
the broken economy that was
handed to him in 2008 by President George W. Bush, Obama
has faced and overcome so
many difficult obstacles that
have made all of his hard work
and accomplishments taste that
much sweeter.
So sure, it’s easy to look
back to 2008 and see only the
negatives, but how about seeing the strides the country has
taken. If more people could
take the time to appreciate the
work that has already being put
in making a change to this
country, they would be more
willing to stick it out for the
down here in a “real” Pennsylvania town.
We at The Voice believe that
fellow Huskies who haven’t
gone down yet should experience the fair. Last year was a
rude-awakening for those planning on going to the fair and it
shows how unpredictable this
world can be. For those who
have seen a Bloomsburg fair already, it’s worth checking out
again because it is one of the
biggest sources of income for
the community. It is important to
share that Bloomsburg pride
with those in the community
that worked so hard to put the
pieces all back together again at
the fair.
Is Obama losing his grasp on
the young American vote?

This fall, there is one thing
that we can all do together, for
our country, and that’s vote.
Re-electing Obama for a second term could go one of two
ways. We could prove that our
generation has what it takes to
make a difference under this
man, or we could be taken for
granted for a second straight
term, following someone who
had his chance to lead us, but
failed.
So it’s up to us to decide the
fate of our country. Will we
look at 2008 as just he beginning for the Obama campaign,
and show our commitment to
our country to work towards
building a better America? Or
will the hard facts deter us
from his campaign? The choice
is ours.

Surely, there is nothing scandalous about cheating. From
grade school to college, the notso-secret world of cheating is
common. The real question is,
“why?” Well, the answer is
quite simple: pressure.
In recent years, there has
been more pressure on students
than ever before. This pressure
results from what we are told
we must do in order to be successful. We must have the highest SAT scores, attend the best
colleges, receive the best internships, and if we accomplish
all of those things, we will be
the most successful. The
thoughts drilled into our heads
are what make some students
decide to cheat; they become
vulnerable and stressed by societal expectations, sometimes
leaving them with no other options. There is no doubt that
these new societal “rules” contributed to the recent rise of academic dishonesty.
Harvard University released
a statement that more than 100
undergraduate students were involved in academic dishonesty,
but they are not alone.
On the other end of the cheating, Emory University student
Sam Eshaghoff took the college
entrance exams for over 15
high school students in 2011.
Eshaghoff said in an interview
that he was simply “helping
students to have the best futures
possibly by changing the course
of their lives completely.” The
fee for his services was not a
small one, and questions began
to arise about how these students were getting the thousands of dollars needed to pay
Eshaghoff. Could parents be
doing more than just pressuring
their children or do they play an
actual role in these scandals?
Clearly parental and social
pressures are, in some ways,
encouraging children to cheat.
In reality, cheating is only
hurting the student. In the Sam
Eshaghoff case, he is helping
students to get into universities
that they would have not gotten
into on their own. In the long
run he is also taking that place
away from a student who deserved it.
In some cases students who
cheat are not only hurting themselves, but also hurting the students
around
them.
Unfortunately, as the pressure
to be the best increases, so will
academic dishonesty.
Fair Etiquette
Keeping it classy in
the crowd
This week has been amazing, spending most of it at the
annual Bloomsburg Fair. I
have eaten my share of fattening foods and tried my
luck at the many games
around the fairgrounds. The
sideshow attractions also
proved entertaining. One
thing I noticed at the fair was
that people need some tips
about fair etiquette.
I was trying to meet up
with my roommate at the fair
on Sunday without knowing
where I was going. Trying to
get together with her took so
long because people were
walking in the middle of the
open spaces really slowly and
sometimes stopping right in
front of me. If fairgoers want
to stop and look at something
or to even just evaluate where
they are, they need to step off
to the sides of the walkways.
I know I always stick to the
rule of walking to the right of
whatever way I am going so
that I do not run into others
that are walking the opposite
way. There are many people
at the fair that do not have the
mobility that we are blessed
with and should be able to
have a designated spot of
walking or wheeling their
way around so that they can
enjoy the fair as much as us.
When we are driving to the
fair, we need to have patience
and respect for others. If there
are pedestrians crossing, they
still have the right of way. Remember that they may be
walking a long time to get to
the fair. Also, do not cut off
the cars that are trying to get
into the fair as well. Drivers
need to learn to be patient

when arriving at the fair. If
drivers are getting worked up
over trying to get in, they may
ruin their fair experience that
day by getting mad at someone. Follow what the traffic
police are saying to do.
Trash is another issue down
at the fairgrounds. Bloomsburg just went through a disaster last year with the flood
and had to clean up and prepare this year’s fair to compensate for the lost year.
Please pick up any garbage
that you drop on the ground.
There are plenty of garbage
cans around the fair, so it’s
not an issue of trying to find
a place to put garbage in; it’s
the convenience of throwing
it right where we are standing.
We don’t think of all the hard
workers who constantly clean
the fairgrounds for us to make
it look presentable. People
should think about how much
time and money it took to
clean the fairgrounds after the
flood last year.
There are many other little
things we could improve on,
but the main purpose of fair
etiquette is to be considerate
of the other people who are
attending the fair, or even the
people who are working at it.
Make the experience enjoyable for everyone by enforcing good etiquette. We spend
a lot of money to attend
sometimes two, three, maybe
even seven days of the fair.
So go out, enjoy the fair, and
be considerate in the process!

Mickey (Adams) and Gus (Eastwood) attempt to be civil to each other, despite their dysfunctional, strained relationship.
While Eastwood and Adams shine as father and daughter,
the predictable plot drags the ﬁlm down
BY ROSA GRAZIADEI
Contributing Writer
“Trouble With the Curve,” directed by
Robert Lorenz, stars Clint Eastwood,
Amy Adams, and Justin Timberlake.
Clint Eastwood plays Gus Lobel, who is
a long-time baseball scout for the Atlanta Braves. Gus’ career is threatened
due to his failing eyesight and advancing years. Clint Eastwood was convincing as his bitter and emotionally
detached character. This character was
not a challenge for Eastwood, who has
had many similar roles such as the one
in “Gran Torino” in 2008.
Amy Adams plays Mickey Lobel,
Gus’ estranged daughter who works as
an attorney at a big time law firm in Atlanta. When Mickey hears about her father’s condition, she begrudgingly
chooses to tag along on his scouting trip
to North Carolina. Amy Adams was believable as a strong-willed and workaholic character. This role was a far cry
from her characters in previous films
such as “Enchanted.” There is nothing
that suggests her previous princess attitude in this movie while she kicks butt
at corporate meetings, eats hot dogs,
and drinks beer with the guys. Eastwood
and Adams work well together and were
believable as a dysfunctional father and
daughter pair.
Justin Timberlake plays Johnny
Flanagan, an ex-MLB player who is
now a talent scout for the Red Sox. Timberlake did an effortless job at being his
charming and funny self while he
wooed Amy Adams’ character. The duo
had great chemistry from the start. It

might be because they are both incredibly easy on the eyes, but their romance
was convincing.
Overall, the movie felt “safe” with a
standard plot line that included a love
interest and a conflict between a father
and a daughter that all boiled down to a
less then shocking resolution. Let’s just
say there were no curve balls thrown in
this movie. The film had a few funny
moments, but was extraordinarily predictable.
Personally, I thought the movie was
slow moving, and it didn’t really grab
my attention. Unless you need something to do with your parents or grandparents on a relaxing afternoon, this is
not a movie I would recommend going
out of your way to see.
“House at the End of the
Street” has hit the big screen as
the latest teen horror film and
brings something new to the old
“haunted house” story that has
been so well-known by many
horror fans.
Elissa, played by “The Hunger
Games’” Jennifer Lawrence, is a
teenager moving to a new town
with her mother Sarah, who is
played by Elisabeth Shue. Divorced, her mother finds a beautiful house for her and her
daughter at an affordable price.
They soon find out this new
town they now call home has a
secret. It turns out the only reason they are able to afford this
house is because a family next
door was brutally murdered by
their daughter Carrie Anne (Eva
Link). Her brother Ryan, played
by Max Thieriot, is the only survivor. Against her mother’s request, Elissa builds a kindling
romance with Ryan, but he has
some secrets of his own.
“Hush” director Mark Tonderai did an awesome job with
the direction he chose to tell the
story; however, I felt the plot of
the movie was typical of what
you would see in any horror film
today. If anybody is looking to
fill a craving for a scary movie,
this isn’t it. I didn’t go home and
have to sleep with the lights on,
but it definitely left me wondering exactly who my neighbors
might be.
When it comes to aspects of
the movie such as setting, lighting, and music, I can’t say I have
any complaints. The movie was
filmed in a wooded neighborhood in Ottawa, Canada. I think
the woods add a dark and creepy
element to the movie.
The background music in the
movie was spot on for this genre.
It created intense moments of anticipation and suspense. Also, the
lighting used in a particular
scene toward the end of the film
gets an A plus. In this particular
scene, Elissa is faced with a life
or death situation. The way the
director chose to present the
lighting in this scene left me on
the edge of my seat in anticipation of what was going to happen, but I couldn’t look away for
that very same reason.
The acting was decent. Jennifer Lawrence is an amazing actress who I am sure we will be
seeing a lot of in the future. She
did an amazing job in playing the
role of Elissa, and I felt her character was genuine and believable; however, I didn’t like her in
this role as much as I did in “The
Hunger Games.”
My favorite actor in the movie
was Eva Link, who played the
role of Carrie Anne. In my opinion, she had the toughest role to
play and she did an incredible
job. She was very convincing
and creepy. All of the other actors did as well as to be expected.
Overall, I would give “House
at the End of the Street” four out
of five stars. The acting, directing, and plot are all great. The
movie has some typical horror
movie elements. It has intense
moments of suspense and has a
twist in store for its viewers. If
you are looking for a good movie
to go see, I would definitely recommend seeing this one, especially if you want to know what
that twist may be.
“House at the End of the
Street” premiered in theaters on
Sept. 21 and is rated PG-13. You
can go see it locally at the Digiplex Cinema Center on Route 11.
Kanye’s ‘Cruel Summer’
is another hit
With featured rappers from Kid Cudi to Jay-Z, ‘Kanye West
Presents Good Music Cruel Summer’ evokes a mix tape feel
BY MIRIAM MEALAND
Contributing Writer
Once again, Kanye West
delivers. As a die-hard
Kanye West fan, I am always
excited when he releases a
new album. West is wellknown for popular songs
such as “Amazing” and
“Gold Digger,” which are
from his older albums. He is
also recognized for teaming
up with other talented artists
such as Jay-Z and R. Kelly.
This time West gets together
with a bunch of various
artists such as 2 Chainz, DJ
Khaled, Kid Cudi, Big Sean,
and Jay-Z. “Cruel Summer”
is a collaboration of old and
new rappers and was released Sept. 18.
The album contains 12
songs, though only half of
them have vocals from
Kanye West. The popular
“Mercy” is well-known and
would be recognized by most
listeners. It has contributions
from Big Sean, Pusha T, and
2 Chainz. “Mercy” is the
only song on the track list
that is upbeat and club-style.
The rest of the songs are a bit
more relaxed and are the
kind of beats you could listen
to in the car or when you’re
hanging out alone or with
friends. The song “Bliss” by
John Legend and Teyana
Taylor was a curve ball in
this album, but that is how
West operates. He always
does what the audience does
not expect. The song is a
very beautiful duet and adds
some variety to
the entire track
list.
My
favorite
song from the
album is “The
Morning,” which
features different
artists such as
Raekwon, Common, Pusha T, 2
Chainz, Chyi the
Prynce,
Kid
Cudi, and Dbani.
The song has a
Rasta style with
a combination of
exhilarating lines
from these different rappers. I can
see this becoming a top hit once
more people start
listening to it.

Fair Attracts Food Fanatics
Vendors appreciate local support of foods
BY KRISTAL MARTINEZ
Opinion Editor
he best kept secret of Bloomsburg is
back! The Bloomsburg Fair is booming.
Crowds gathered to enter the fair for the
first time since it was canceled due to the
unfortunate 2011 flood that left houses and the
fairgrounds of Bloomsburg underwater.
In anticipation of the fair, students and residents alike can be found feverishly discussing
plans of the stands they will attend. The fair has
attractions that call to citizens from all around
Bloomsburg. Some atrractions are bands, competitions, games, shopping, animals, and who
could forget the oh-so-savory eats. The Friday
before fair officially begins is one filled with
the aroma of 1,500 food stands.
Bloomsburg University student and
Nescopeck resident Becky Stitt declares she
loves the fair because they have a huge variety
of food and everyone can find something they
like to eat!
After consulting with some Bloomsburg Fair
vets the list of top fair foods is unanimous. The
list begins with Vince’s Cheese Steaks. It is
clear by the mass of people lining up in front of
Vince’s that it has earned its spot as one of the
top fair foods. The well-staffed establishment
has the line moving constantly, and there are
plenty of smiling faces across the counter looking to help the next eager customer. Numidia
resident and BU student
Janelle Pratt said it best as she
expresses her appreciation for
both the quality of service and
food she receives from Vince’s
Cheese Steaks, “The people at
that stand are always nice and
the steaks are the best at the
fair because they are fresh and
taste great.”
At first glance a cheese steak
from Vince’s seems too good to
be true. The sandwich is equal
portions steak and cheese completely blended together with
the buyer’s choice of toppings
including an assortment of
peppers and onions. Vince’s
has attended the fair for 36
years with the same menu of
steaks and sausages.
Owner Vince Cocca shared,
“Part of our success is because
we made an effort to meet the
demands of customers, two
items can make it simple to
produce high quality, and it is a
lot easier for employees to
adapt to.” Vince also expressed

the quality of the Bloomsburg fair
and his pleasure in attending the fair.
John the Greek has 17 stands interspersed throughout the fair. The most
talked about gyro of the Bloomsburg
Fair resides here. When approaching
the stand it is already clear that John
the Greeks gyros are made fresh, as
three rows of meat rotate on spikets
in the middle of the stand for all to
see. John the Greek’s stands are well
manned and managed as they serve
each customer at a speedy pace with
fresh meat on pita bread, with a
blend of lettuce and tomatoes, and
drizzled with flavorful tzatziki sauce.
BU student and Frackville resident Leslie Cope says reminiscently,
“tastes like fair” after her first bite of
her John the Greek gyro. The foods
found at the fair would be difficult to
locate anywhere else.
What gigantic sandwich would be
complete without fresh fair French
fries? To satisfy this need there is no
better place than Bowman’s French

fries.
According to Amanda Knauer, long time fair
frequenter, “They’re the best on the fairgrounds.” Bowman’s fries are three bucks
worth of juicy, hot, and fresh tasty French fries.
For the week of the fair, fast food is out along
with their manufactured frozen fries.
The dessert stands closed out our day at the
fair. A long time fair favorite is the Apple
Dumpling, and Bissinger’s rules in all apple
dumpling needs. Bissinger’s has an assembly
line set up that keeps each dumpling moving
with equal care and precision to have enough
extra dumplings for orders to go. The last touch
is undoubtedly the best, a la’ mode anyone?
They offer both vanilla and cinnamon. I recommend giving cinnamon a try.
Cheri Bissinger believes her success with her
husband Kevin comes from creating their product with their customers in mind. “Our success
stems from a quality product and quality staff,”
Bissinger said. “There’s nothing better than
hearing the words ‘this is why I came to the
fair.’ We push through because were giving
people something that they really enjoy.”

Bloomsburg

sophomore, Kelsey Regan, is
doing just that with her comics.
Regan is a published cartoon
artist with a book featuring a
collection of her comic “Dear
Mom
and
Dad,
$end

Regan’s love for drawing
cartoons existed her whole life.
“I’ve always loved to draw.
Growing up I wanted to be an
artist and I never left home
without my sketch pad,” Regan
said.
She started making comics
at a very young age. She made
her first comic, “BB”, which
followed the adventures of
Abby and her fat pet rabbit
when she was 9.
Her love of comics continued into her teens when her
mother gave her a book written
by cartoonist Cathy Guisewite.
“I read it in secret, loved it in
secret, and in further secret
began to collect more comic
books,” Regan explained. She
eventually accumulated a hid-

den collection of more than
200 comic books!
Why did Regan remain so
covert about her passion? She
reveals that growing up, she
was always viewed as the
unfunny member of her family.
She couldn’t understand jokes
and this in itself became a joke
among her family members.
“Our family is full of performers so I always saw my
inability to comprehend and
recite humor as something of a
handicap on my part,” said
Regan, who describes her
failed early attempts at jokes as
comical torture. “With this as
my background, I was unwilling to let anyone know I was
becoming obsessed with
comics,” she said.
“I couldn’t understand a spoken joke if it slapped me in the
face and invited me to dance
the tango. But I understood the
written and visual form,”
Regan stated. At age 15, she
began to draw more comics
even though she did not share
them with anyone until two
years later.
Regan began to draw a strip
series while in high school
called “Teen Truths.” This strip
started as a way for Regan to
express feelings that she was
too shy to voice but ended up
gaining much popularity once
it was discovered.
“Teen Truths” may have
remained private if she did not
accidentally leave a few strips
lying around her house one
day. “It is very strange hearing
your mom or dad laughing hysterically in the bathroom. Even
stranger for them to emerge,
clutching the drawings you
were looking for, giggling and
asking if there were more,”
Regan describes of the incident.
At her church, Regan posted
a strip of “Teen Truths” where
it gained recognition. It was
unlike other comics because it
dared to shed light on dark topics like suicide and depression.
“The comic topics were ugly,”
comments Regan, “But people
were drawn to them and I realized that God could use them to
teach others.”
Regan found herself at
Bloomsburg where she decided
to send comics to her parents to
tell them about her experiences.
“My roommate, Brittany,
and her boyfriend found these
comics and demanded that I
contact The Voice. The rest is
published history,” she said.
Where does Regan find the
inspiration to draw up so many
unique comics covering so
many different topics? Some of
it comes from her own personal experience, but she has many
other sources of inspiration.
Jesus ranks high on that list.
“I strongly believe I have been
given a passion for art from
Jesus Christ. He’s given me an
optimism that has helped me
through so much in life, so that
even when I’m completely
miserable or in the midst of a
personal crisis, I can still find
Joy in Him,” Regan said.
Another big inspiration for
Regan is her parents, especially
her mother, who has helped
come up with ideas for her
strips and even helped make all
the “Dear Mom and Dad $end
Money!!!” books by hand. Her
other muses include the
Disciplemakers
Christian
Fellowship and her roommate,
Britanny, who motivated
Regan to publish the strips.
Regan’s book, “Dear Mom
and Dad, $end Money!!!”, is
available in the school store for
$5. This is the “Freshman
Year” edition. Regan plans on
releasing a new edition each
year until the strip’s character,
Pepper gets her doctorate.

Special to The Voice
ast weekend the Bison
Battalion, composed of
cadets from Bloomsburg
University,
Bucknell
University, Lycoming College,
Pennsylvania
College
of
Technology, and Susquehanna
University conducted their first
training event of the year.
The event at Cowan
Conference
Center
in
Lewisburg, Pa. was organized
to teach young future leaders of
the United States Army basic
soldering skills. The goal of the
event was not only to train soldiering skills but to prepare
junior
Cadets
for
the
Leadership
Develop
and
Assessment Course (LDAC), a
course all Cadets must complete in order to continue to
their senior year. For returning
Cadets, the event built upon the
knowledge they already had of
Army techniques and tactics.
In the past, the event has
been more focused on team
building, serving more to build
camaraderie than skills.
Junior Cadet Tokgozoglu
from Lycoming College said of
the event, “The training this
year was more pertinent than in
the past and everything was
broken down into an introductory level, which helped in
understanding each class.”
Sophomore Cadets Gorgone
and
Chiappone,
from
Bloomsburg University and
Susquehanna
University,
respectively, both agreed that
their favorite part of the event
was sleeping in a bivouac, an
improvised shelter created with
ponchos and rope.
While
upperclassmen
improved their skills, the freshmen Cadets had their first experience of training in ROTC. Up
until the event at Cowan, the
freshmen have had no training
outside of physical training
(PT) at their respective schools.
Freshman Cadet Kempf had
this to say about his first training event, “I didn’t know what
to expect, but it was fun and a
good way to start learning
about military tactics, first aid,
and drill and ceremony.”

Men’s soccer comes alive on offense, wins two games
The past week was a
successful one for the
BU men’s soccer
team, as they defeated
both Ohio Valley College by a score of 4-1
and Chestnut Hill College by a 5-1 margin.
The offense came out
in droves for the
Huskies, they had nine
goals for the two
matches this is exponentially better than
the three-goal performance the team put
up last weekend. It appears as though the
two days of rest in between games increased the Huskies
energy level, this is
compared to last
weekend’s games,
which were played
back-to-back.
The Huskies started
out strong in the game
against Ohio Valley, as
junior defender Anthony Moreno used a
header on a pass from
sophomore forward
Nate Conrad to put
BU up 1-0 almost six
minutes in in.
After Moreno’s goal
the game became the
Bryce Shaffer show,
the senior forward
from Gettysburg went
on to score two
straight goals to put
the game out of reach.
The first goal came on
a breakaway where
Shaffer weaved
through the Ohio Valley defenders and put
the ball in the net, this
score gave Bloom a 20 advantage 16 minutes in. Shaffer’s
second goal came during the 51st minute the
goal was assisted by
Nate Conrad; this was
his second assist of
the day.
A goal by Ohio Valley’s Oladele Olawele
made the score 3-1 in
the 63rd minute, the
Huskies did not let
Ohio Valley back into
the game though.
Solid defense along
with a goal by
Bloomsburg freshman
midfielder Spencer
Conrad during the 67th
minute ended the scor-
ing for the game.
The Bloomsburg defense put on a stifling
effort, as they only allowed Ohio Valley to
attempt three shots the
entire game, with only
one of those shots
being on goal.
Bloomsburg’s offense
came out hot as they
racked up 20 shots,
with 11 of them being
on goal.
The Huskies kept
the momentum from
Saturday’s win, as
they took their frustrations out against
Chestnut Hill College.
Junior Fran Miller
opened up the scoring
with a goal during the
16th minute, Miller
centered the ball off
his chest and struck it
in for the score.
The scoring ceased
until the 63rd minute
when Chestnut Hill’s
Hernan Angulo scored
to tie the game up at
one a piece. Darryl
Richardson and Channing Couillard
chipped in with assists
on the play.
After Angulo’s
score, the game was
all Bloomsburg as the
huskies went on a roll
scoring four straight
goals. Bryce Shaffer
kept his hot streak
going breaking the tie
at the 69th minute,
Fran Miller delivered
a dime and Shaffer executed beating the
goalie one-on-one.
Fran Miller struck
gold again, this time
in the 74th minute;
Miller scraped and
hustled his way to a
loose ball and put it in
the net unassisted.
This gave the Huskies
a commanding 3-1
lead.
Bloomsburg’s
Spencer Conrad got in
the scoring action in
the 81st minute. The
freshman used a
header on a pass from
Fran Miller to put the
Huskies ahead 4-1.
The scoring was
capped with Spencer
Conrad’s second goal

Monday Night Mayhem
BY TOM CIAMPOLI
Sports Editor
Whatever the specifics of the current NFL
referee lockout are seem a lot more trivial after
the most recent Monday Night Football game
between the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks. The NFL and its owners banked
on the odds that replacement referees, who
were ill-equipped to call professional-caliber
contests, could not change the overall outcome
of a game for one side or the other. On Monday
night, when one ref signaled touchdown even
though Green Bay Packers defensive back
M.D. Jennings had possession of the ball, the
bigwigs’ luck ran out in front of thousands of
viewers.
The vitriol directed towards the NFL following the contentious result (which commissioner Roger Goodell and the rest of the NFL
front office upheld) underlines the real issue at
hand: the National Football League, America’s
most viewed and profitable sport over the past
decade, is putting out a subpar product and asking millions of fans to pretend it’s something
else. It is easy to look past a few questionable
pass interference calls or some egregious shoving during the play that goes unnoticed. Small
things like that can elude the sight of even the
most season refs from time to time. The replacement referees are surely doing the best
they can, as well. When a game’s outcome is
changed, however, especially on a call that appears to everyone but the NFL front office to
be woefully incorrect, the fan base which the
sport has meticulously built up may slowly
begin to dwindle. It may not be apparent this
week, or the next week. If the league continues to be disingenuous by putting out an inferior product, though, it will undoubtedly begin
to lose support. NFL: do whatever is needed to
bring the professional referees back before
your organization begins to gain a new
moniker- No Fans Left.
Onto the picks:
Packers-Saints: In a rematch of the seasonopening game from last season, much has
changed. For starters, neither team can boast a
winning record, with the Packers’ controversial loss knocking them down to 1-2, and the
Saints 0-3 in the aftermath of the bounty scandal which resulted in head coach Sean Payton
being suspended for the 2012 season. Aaron
Rodgers, quarterback of the Packers and reigning NFL MVP, should have no problem shredding up a New Orleans defense which has
already lost this season to a quarterback making his first career start (Washington’s Robert
Griffin III) and Matt Cassel (of Kansas City).
Packers 35, Saints 27
49ers-Jets: The national media can continue to
talk about Tim Tebow all they want, but he will
not factor into this game. The 49ers defense is
too elite and too deep to fall for Rex Ryan’s
Wildcat tricks. Now that former top draft pick
Alex Smith is putting it all together, and Vernon Davis has emerged as the best tight end in
the league so far this year, the Niners are looking like the team that made the NFC Championship game last season. The Jets, meanwhile,
just lost All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis for
the season with a torn ACL. Look for San
Francisco to get back on track after an eyeopening loss last week to Christian Ponder and
the Minnesota Vikings. 49ers 24, Jets 13
Giants-Eagles: Sunday night is the new night
for premier matchups, and this week will see
Michael Vick coming off of his worst start of
the year against a Giants team rested from an
obliteration of the Carolina Panthers last
Thursday. Hakeem Nicks and Ahmad Bradshaw may be healthy, but the Giants’ key to
victory is their fearsome pass rush led by defensive end Justin Tuck. Unless LeSean
McCoy rushes for at least 200 yards, Vick will
be hounded and pressured all night. Giants 23,
Eagles 17
NFL Thursday Night Preview
Ravens and Browns face off in AFC East battle
BY DAVID KROPP
Staff Writer
Hopefully the Browns
will not get beaten black
and blue in Thursday
night’s game, as they head
into Baltimore seeking their
first win. The Ravens are
coming off an emotional
win after earning a hardfought victory against the
New England Patriots in the
final seconds off of a Justin
Tucker field goal that
cleared the top upright by a
hair. Not only was it emotional from a football standpoint,
but
also
for
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith, who
lost his 19-year-old brother
not even 24 hours prior to
suiting up to take on New
England.
Currently, Baltimore’s Joe
Flacco is one of the top
quarterbacks in the league,
but the Browns have done a
decent job in maintaining
the passing game at hand on
their defensive side of the
ball. Keep in mind this will
not be an easy task for
Flacco and the rest of the
Ravens. The ferocious Baltimore defense, led by future Hall-Of-Famers Ray
Lewis and Ed Reed, have
had a tough time slowing
down opposing offenses the
past couple of games
against teams like the
Philadelphia Eagles and the
aforementioned Patriots.
However, Baltimore should
be able to get to Cleveland’s
quarterback Brandon Weeden quickly after comparing
the Raven defensive statistics and Weeden’s sack/lost
stat of 50. Browns running
back Trent Richardson and
especially Ravens running
back Ray Rice will look to
try and bolster up their individual stats Thursday night.
Rice is going to attempt to
lure the aggressive Cleveland defense in on him to
create play action and other
passing plays for Flacco.
Richardson, on the other
hand, will be doing the opposite because of his
power-running abilities.
Cleveland will also need
to help their rookie quarterback out. Speedy Josh
Cribbs has been under-utilized in the pass game so far
this season, and last year’s
team leader in receptions,
Greg Little, has gotten off
to a slow start this year,
dropping several passes.
Sure, Baltimore and future
opposing defenses will be
expecting the run, but Baltimore’s defensive line
could be surprised by, say, a
delayed handoff or screen
due to their blitz-heavy
schemes. However, Baltimore’s offensive line needs
to play heads-up football as
well because right now, the
Browns are averaging at
least three sacks per game.
Hopefully, Flacco and his
offense will not annihilate
the Browns too badly. The
heated rivalry continues
Thursday night! Score Prediction:
Ravens 35,
Browns 9

Davis, seniors lead Husky cross-country team into top 25
BY TOM CIAMPOLI
Sports Editor
Vicki Davis, a senior student at BU, enjoys
hiking, horseback riding and watching a myriad
of different Disney movies. She also has a habit
of running races faster than anyone else racing
against her.
Davis jokes that running is great because it is
“cheaper than therapy,” but cross-country is no
laughing matter to the standout athlete who surprises even her own teammates with her work
ethic (several of whom are in awe of the fact that
she seems to be “always running”). Since finishing first in the 800-meter race at the Husky
Open in 2010, Davis has created an impressive
resume. Last season Davis, a year-round runner,
won the 3,000 meters at the Mountain Hawk Invite at Lehigh University, then placed eighth in
the season-ending PSAC Tournament in the
same race before being named to the Division II
All-Region Team by the U.S. Track and Field
and Cross Country Coaches Association.
This year, however, Davis has taken her game
to another level as her focus has shifted to less
forgiving cross-country terrain. After winning
the Bison Open at Bucknell University last fall,
Davis returned this year to open the season and
defended her title, sprinting three miles in a time
of 17 minutes and 46 seconds. The next closest
competitor finished a distant 14 seconds behind
her. Davis was given PSAC Cross Country Athlete of the Week for her efforts.
Two weeks later, Davis was once again in action, taking part in the Division II Challenge,
held at Kutztown University. The only way the
beginning of Davis’ season could be even more
impressive was with a win on this 6k course, as
well. That’s exactly what Davis did, finishing in
a time of 22:32. Davis did more than just win,
flying in front of the rest of the field and finishing at least 26 seconds before anyone else running the race. The win was enough to earn Davis
her second PSAC Athlete of the Week award in
as many weeks.
“Winning PSAC Athlete of the Week means a
lot to me,” Davis says. “There are plenty of fast
girls in the PSAC, and it is great to receive
recognition in such a competitive conference.
From a team aspect, it’s great to have recognition for our school.”
It is clear from her regimen and her words that
running is more than just a sport or activity for
ginning to receive some due recognition as a
unit. In the preseason, the Huskies were picked
to finish third in the PSAC after finishing 14th at
the season-ending Division II Championships
last season. Since then, BU has moved into a

meets already this season.
Davis. While it may not be an addiction, track is
certainly a passion for the senior star.
“I love running because I gain a sense of accomplishment from every run that I do, whether
it went well, or I learn from something that went
wrong. I enjoy [being] able to go places where
others cannot, and truly appreciate my surroundings.”
Davis’ attitude has become infectious among
the rest of the BU team, as well, which is be-
place
of national recognition, placing 15th in the most
recent coaches’ poll following a great showing
at their last two meets.
Joining Davis in the top ten at the Kutztown
meet were fellow seniors Lauren Lehman, who
placed ninth in 23:44, and Katie Filemyr (10th
place with a time of 23:52). Fellow senior
Kelsey Harm also placed in the top 15, coming
in 14th with a time of 24:15. As a team, BU
Field Hockey
scored a five-point win over host Kutztown to
take first place overall at the meet. Led by head
coach Bernie Empie, the team has held a thirdplace ranking in the Atlantic Region for multiple
weeks now, trailing only PSAC rivals Shippensburg and Edinboro.
In addition to Davis, the team is bolstered by
the veteran presence of five other seniors, including Lehman, Filemyr and Harm, as well as
Lauren Bond and Bridget Krecko. Together, the
senior corps are the perfect representatives for
a team which has seemed to grow up together.
In addition to being the fourth year for all of
the aforementioned seniors, this is also the
fourth year at Bloomsburg for head coach
Bernie Empie, who has also received acclaim
from around the PSAC and Atlantic Region
thanks to the unexpected performance of both
the men’s and women’s track teams last spring.
Empie’s staff is bolstered by the addition of assistant coach Danielle Keplinger.
“[The coaching staff] will always tell you to
listen to them,” Davis says with a laugh. “But
they have taught me many lessons. I have
learned from them how to balance school and
athletics, and to appreciate the sport and enjoy
everything that comes with it.”
Armed with a top 25 ranking and the knowledge that they are on the radar of every other
PSAC team, the Huskies will return to action
this weekend, competing in the Paul Short Invitational, an event held at Lehigh University. Although the Huskies may be exceeding the
expectations of others so far this season, the
goals for the runners themselves haven’t
changed much.
“The team expectations are high,” Davis
states matter-of-factly. “We are hopeful to return
to Nationals this year through placing at least
third at the regional meet.”
It is clear that the Huskies have a plan for how
the season should turn out for them. Given BU’s
prowess so far, they should also plan to have
more viewers turn out to see them.

Huskies score 21 in fourth quarter for comeback road victory
BY TOM CIAMPOLI
Sports Editor
After a cathartic victory at home
against Kutztown the week before,
it appeared as though the
Bloomsburg Huskies were poised
for a letdown entering the fourth
quarter of their game at LIU Post
(formerly known as C.W. Post) on
Saturday. BU trailed 27-21 in their
road matchup in Brookville N.Y. at
Hickox Field, and was giving up
too much ground on defense to sustain a lead. That all changed once
the whistle blew, and the Huskies
scored 21 points in the final 15
minutes to pull out a 42-27 road
win.
Once again, the Huskies’ dominant ground game was a huge key
to the victory. Running backs
Franklyn Quiteh and Eddie Mateo
each rushed for over 100 yards,
contributing to the Huskies’ total of
299 rushing yards for the day. In
addition, senior wide receiver Kyle
Fisher had a career day, catching
six passes for 196 yards and three
touchdowns. The longest catch of
the day came in the second quarter
when quarterback Tim Kelly found
Fisher streaking downfield for a 73yard touchdown. Kelly threw three
touchdowns on the day, completing
10 of his 18 passes for 240 yards.
“[LIU Post’s] secondary just
wasn’t ready for us,” Fisher said
after the game. “It helped that Tim
and I were on the same page all
day.”
A 13-play, 53-yard drive by LIU
Post was finally stopped when the
Pioneers went for a first down on
fourth down and came up unsuccessful. Three plays later, Quiteh
ran 26 yards into Pioneer territory.
This would help to key a 14-play,
73-yard drive which culminated
with a Kelly touchdown pass to
Fisher from three yards out. After
the Husky defense forced the first
er, when Kelly was intercepted by
LIU Post’s Donovan Edwards on
the Huskies’ 32-yard-line. The
home team was all too willing to
take advantage of their excellent
field position, and Pioneer quarterback Steven Laurino tied the game
on the final play of the first quarter
by running the ball into the end
zone himself from the two-yard
line.
After receiving the ball back, the
Huskies went back to the ground,
getting several key runs from
Quiteh and fullback Ryan Maggs,
whose 13-yard run on second down
and six to go from the LIU 44-yard
line was the longest play of the
drive for BU until the touchdown
play. The scripted call was for a

Starting from their own 30, the

ball into Husky territory. The slow
march downfield was interrupted

Bloomsburg’s 42-27 victory moved
them to 10th place in the most
recent coaches’ poll, and handed
the Pioneers their first loss of the
young season.
“[Our coaches] ingrained in us
that we can’t be stopped,”“ Fisher
said of his team’s come-frombehind win. “We keep a positive
attitude no matter what happens.”
BU will return to the friendly
confines of Redman Stadium this
weekend to face the 1-3 Gannon
Golden Knights, another PSAC
rival. The game will kick off at 1:30
p.m., as the Huskies look to
improve their 2012 home record to
3-0.
