E. Hempfield Puts Parcels Up F

Staff Writer

If "we don't get a price that we feel is appropriate, we just won't sell it," is how John Bingham put it.

"We're not going to take a low bid" on the land just to sell it, the East Zenith Watches Hempfield Township supervisors' chairman added.

The board took major steps toward marketing and selling the land on Wednesday night.

The most-discussed property up for sale is at 918 Nissley Road, which actually is two parcels totaling some 22 acres, while another is a 0.6-acre site at Church Street and Nolt Road.

The East Hempfield supervisors Wednesday approved a bid package that includes a series of "conditions of sale" and signed the contract naming Long & Foster Real Estate Inc. as the listing agent to market the properties.

East Hempfield will accept bids through 1 p.m. Dec. 10. A bid could be considered for approval by the supervisors on Dec. 15.

While the possibility of selling the 22-acre site on Nissley Road has generated controversy in recent months, with neighbors asking that it be preserved as open space, there was no public comment on the matter Wednesday.

"We think we're ready to advertise this and get it started," Robert Krimmel, township manager, said.

In preparing to sell the Nissley Road property, the supervisors had agreed recently to include several potential conditions of sale.

Those included allowing no residential driveways onto Nissley Road and no vehicular access from the would-be development onto Centerville Road, along with having demanding stormwater standards in an often flood-prone area.

Also Wednesday, the board announced it will hold its next quarterly budget meeting starting at 7 p.m. Sept. 29 at the township offices in Landisville.

Giving it the old college try

Staff Writer

WATERVILLE -- As seniors in high school, Dan Hussey and Ted Worcester figured out they could make money by buying up cheap domain names and flipping them for a profit.

But there was one they decided not to sell: liberalarts colleges.com.

"We decided we wanted to develop that site instead of flip it," Hussey said. "You can make more money in the long run that way."

Two years later, that's what the Waterville Senior High School alumni are trying to do.

Hussey, who will be a sophomore at Colby College, and Worcester, who attends Wheaton College in Massachusetts, want to take the liberal arts experience to high school students who might not think to apply to a small college on the East Coast.

Their target audience is middle- to low-income students who live in Western and Midwestern states. Their plan is to build a website showcasing about 30 liberal arts colleges, Richard Mille Watches including the ones they attend, through video tours, information about financial aid and interviews with professors, students and admissions officers.

The website would generate revenue through advertising sales.

They also want to develop a social networking aspect to the site, so that prospective college students can share their thoughts about the application process.

Progress on the website could pick up if their idea is a winner next month in a contest sponsored by Pepsi.

The Pepsi Refresh Project accepts 1,000 submissions each month, and awards prizes, ranging from $5,000 to $250,000, to about 30 contestants.

Winners are determined by the number of votes their project gets on the Pepsi Refresh website.

Hussey and Worcester, who will be vying for the most votes in September, applied to win the $25,000 prize, which would fund their travel expenses when they visit the colleges, as well as their website design.

But their business isn't dependent on the funding.

Regardless of whether they win the contest, Hussey said, they'll forge ahead with their plan.

Hussey has been spending the summer developing the business plan in the down time during his day job working the front desk of the athletic center at Colby. He communicates with Worcester, who's been in Alaska working at a Swiss Army Watches remote campground, using online tools, like Skype and Google Wave.

That's how they'll continue to collaborate through the fall, while Worcester's studying at the London School of Economics for the semester.

Worcester said he's not concerned about having trouble getting his schoolwork done while working on the website with Hussey from across the Atlantic Ocean.

"I feel that if I can work on the project here, I can work on it anywhere in the world," he wrote in an e-mail from the Alaskan tundra, where there's no cell phone reception, only a satellite that provides Internet access.

Both Hussey and Worcester have the support of their colleges. Worcester was awarded a $3,000 grant from Wheaton to help start up the business. And the director of Colby's career center, Roger Woolsey, has counseled the young men since they started the project.

"They've moved forward very quickly," Woolsey said.

Give protection to victims ins

We need to keep an eye out for a new neighbour who might be the freed violent rapist with a medium to Tory burch high risk of offending (August 23).

His identity and where he will be living are both suppressed.

After all, we must protect him so he can be rehabilitated in the community, in the midst of minors under 16 (with whom he might reoffend).

If judges gave this much protection to victims, wouldn't we be a lot safer?

This person could end up as anyone's neighbour, watching from behind net curtains as girls walk to Piaget Watches school past the house in which he will live and be protected.

And people wonder why criminals reoffend.

This is why - we let them out knowing Audemars Piguet Watches they are a risk.

HIDDEN GEM The Middle

As the traditional summer dearth of good TV nears its end, Sky1 has a great new US family sitcom up its sleeve. ROBIN WIGGS explains why it's worth tuning in for... Aren't there already lots of family comedies? Yes, but there are never enough good ones that families can actually sit down and enjoy together. The Middle follows Thomas wylde Bags Replica in the grand tradition of Roseanne and Malcolm In The Middle, telling the story of a family who muddle through any way they can - they might not be perfect, but they're together. It's not as real as Roseanne or as cool as Malcolm, but it's shaping up to be at least as funny as both.

Abercrombie & fitch

What makes it work? It has a great cast, doesn't go for the obvious jokes, and has no laughter track to slow it down.

Patricia Heaton (second left, formerly of Everybody Loves Raymond) plays the frantic mum who feeds her son frozen pancakes for breakfast ('Lick it, it'll last longer'), while the disastrously honest dad is played by Neil Flynn (centre, the janitor from Scrubs).

Who else is in it? Comedy veteran Brian Doyle-Murray (Bakersfield PD) is great as Mum's callous car dealer boss. Of the children, the 'clinically quirky' Brick (Atticus Sha er) is a dead ringer for Dewey from Malcolm In The Middle pocket watches for men - but the standout child star is Eden Sher (centre right) as the awesomely awkward Sue. Just wait for her plan to attract the new boy.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL - SEASON

INSIDE: GW plays host to Woodrow Wilson on The Hill tonight; prep football notebook 4B SCORELINE: Call for scores all season at 304- 348-1713

Capital's football team has accomplished a lot of good things the last three years - winning 25 of its 35 starts and earning three straight Class AAA playoff berths.

One thing the Cougars haven't done during that time, however, is win their opener. The current seniors on the roster have started out 0-1 each of the past three seasons.

"They've never won a game the first week," said Jon Carpenter, Capital's first-year coach. "We've reminded them of that. They don't want it to happen again."

The Cougars get a chance to avenge one of those opening setbacks tonight when they visit Riverside to kick off the regular season at 7:30. The Warriors shocked Capital 34-19 in last year's opener at Laidley Field, ending a five-game losing streak to the Cougars.

Capital fell behind 20-0 at halftime last year, suffered four turnovers in the game and saw all-state running back Keion Wright held to 42 yards on 13 carries.

"Everybody has a reason why that happened," Carpenter said of the loss. "I don't know what it was. We just want to make sure it doesn't happen again."

Riverside busted last year's game open with a pair of big plays - a 66-yard touchdown pass from Seth Shanklin to Marshall recruit Raheem Waiters and a 78-yard kickoff return for a TD by Randy Hunt.

Oddly enough, Capital's speed and big-play capability are the No. 1 concern of Riverside coach Ralph Hensley.

In last week's Mountain State Athletic Conference Gucci Replica Grid-o-rama at Laidley, Capital had a pair of lightning-like strikes in a 21-7 win over the Warriors - quarterback Josh Sharp burst 46 yards for a score and later fired a short pass into the flat that freshman James Richmond took 78 yards for a TD.

"As you saw, their speed is a little bit better than ours," Hensley said. "Probably more than a little bit.

"I think we match up with them in some places. If we can just not lose our confidence if something happens early and fight back and put points on the board. That's why I was a little bit upset last week. I thought maybe we should have scored a couple more times. Maybe I haven't done a good job coaching."

Carpenter, for his part, has vowed to simplify his coaching approach - run "four or five plays," and run them efficiently. That would include getting the ball into the hands of Wright, who ran for 181 yards and two touchdowns in a 37-3 win over Riverside in 2008, as well as his other speed-burners, including Richmond and Sharp.

"I've never coached anybody and seen them do that," Carpenter said of Richmond's shake-and-bake score in last week's scrimmage. "He can get out there and run. Josh Sharp can run like that. Keion can run like that. We have several other kids who can do that. I feel blessed to have those guys. Dick Whitman taught me that. A good football coach has to have people who can put it in the end zone.

"But I think it starts with the offensive line. A lot of teams have speed, but don't get the big runs unless you have a good line of scrimmage."

Capital threw 22 times in last year's game, but Hensley doesn't expect to see the ball in the air that much tonight.
