Penn State scandal shakes the Happy Valley family to roots

At a local radio station, WKPS-FM, the call-in volume had jumped about 400 percent with one topic on everyone's mind, said Matt Steiner, president and general manager of the station.

"The biggest thing is that people are concerned Joe Paterno knew about it and hadn't said anything," Steiner said. "That's the biggest concern -- that he's tied up in it and it will rub off and tarnish him.

"A lot of people are confused. They're scared. The biggest thing is why Paterno didn't go to the police. There is disappointment that he didn't do that."
