THEYWERE THE
BETTER TEAM
Bill OBrien said little. Eight full
months of being thrust into the
spotlight meant he had to spend
most of his time talking, talking,
talking.
After finally getting to return to
the sideline and coach a live
game on Saturday, Penn States
new boss wasnt eager to start
the conversation back up.
But what he did say stung more
than any part of the Nittany
Lions demoralizing 24-14 loss to
Ohio.
They beat us,
OBrien said.
They were
the better
team.

BREAKS GO THE
BOBCATS WAY
Atip of a pass and an unlikely
deflection was all it needed to
stymie the Penn State defense
and pull all of the Nittany Lions
momentumin the favor of Ohio.
Leading 14-3 on the first drive of
the second half, Penn States
fortunes turned on a third-and-
long play. PAGE 6C
NOTES FROMTHE GAME
Three key starters missed
extended periods of time be-
cause of lower-body injuries.
Cornerback Stephon Morris and
tailback Bill Belton did not return
after both suffered sprained
ankles in the second half.
Penn State held a moment of
reflection before the game,
asking fans for silence to con-
sider all victims of child sexual
abuse and those who have
endured suffering and loss. It
was also the closest the school
came to acknowledging Joe

WEEKLY LOTTERY
SUMMARY
HAZLETON City police said

Saturday morning near the inter-
section of Fourth and Alter
streets.
The identity of the 34-year-old
white male was withheld pend-
ing notification of his family.
Investigators armed with war-
rants searched various locations
and interviewed witnesses and
others throughout the day, but

tion about the case to contact

LOS ANGELES No tote
board. No Jerry Lewis. And not
from Las Vegas.
An annual Muscular Dystro-
phy Association television fun-
draiser goes a new way today ,
with a different title and fea-
turing three hours of taped ap-
pearances by entertainers in-
cluding country music star
Carrie Underwood, pop singer
Gavin DeGraw, alternative pop
group OneRepublic, Black
Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am
and songstress Carole King.
The renamed MDA Show of
Strength was pre-produced
and taped in Los Angeles, New
York and Nashville, Tenn., said
association spokeswoman Rox-
an Olivas in Tucson, Ariz.
It is set to show on various
TV and cable channels in 150
markets around the country
from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Central
and Mountain time and 8 p.m.
to 11 p.m. Eastern and Pacific
time.
There wont be a traditional
tote board, and Olivas said
some cities will have local
hosts. But the overall event
will urge national phone, text
and online pledges toward
funding efforts to find treat-
ments and cures for neuromus-
cular diseases.
The annual Labor Day week-
end telethon ended a 45-year
run last year with comedian
and longtime host Lewis, who
turned 86 in March and lives in
Las Vegas.
Lewis was part of a comedy
duo with Dean Martin and be-
came a film icon with antics
and characters including the
The Nutty Professor.
He went on to become syn-
onymous with the Labor Day
Muscular Dystrophy Associ-
ation telethon after starting it
in 1966 with a marathon 22-
hour show at a single TV sta-
tion in New York.
Lewis was MDA national
chairman from the early 1950s
to 2011, and is credited with
raising more than $1.6 billion
over the years. He was nomi-
nated in1977 for a Nobel Peace
Prize for his work with the tele-
thon and muscular dystrophy
relief.
The event moved to Las Ve-
gas in 1973, and had stints in
Los Angeles before moving
back to Las Vegas.
Despite Lewis absence, tele-
thon officials last year report-
ed raising $61.5 million in a
six-hour show with several
hosts. A silent montage of Le-
wis film clips was shown, but
he didnt take part in person or
tape his signature song, Youll
Never Walk Alone.

The Associated Press
NEW YORK In the cable
television news world where
provocation is prized, MSNBCs
Chris Matthews took home the
trophy from Tampas Republi-
can National Convention as
most over-the-top pundit.
Whos the early favorite to do
the same when the Democrats
meet this week in Charlotte,
N.C.?
Matthews engaged in a bitter
verbal brawl on Morning Joe
with Republican National Com-
mittee Chairman Reince Prie-
bus, upsetting the shows hosts,
accusing the GOP of conducting
a campaign of race-baiting and
suggesting Republican presi-
dential candidate Mitt Romney
is not proud of his record in pub-
lic life.
Now that opinion is a key
component of
cable news and
commentators
are asked to
cover events
run by a politi-
cal party they
disagree with
on a daily ba-
sis, such contentious weeks
arent that surprising. Fox News
Channel personalities are next
to face the challenge at the Dem-
ocratic National Convention.
Matthews and Priebus were
both guests on Morning Joe,
one of the dwindling number of
cable talk shows consistently
welcoming to people with differ-
ing views. The confrontation be-
gan when Matthews suggested
the Republican leader should be
embarrassed at how his party
was playing the race card dur-
ing the campaign with adver-
tisements about welfare. The
MSNBC host also berated Prie-
bus about Romneys comment
during a campaign stop in Mi-
chigan that no one has ever
asked to see my birth certifi-
cate.
Annoyed after some back-and-
forth, Priebus declared: Imnot
going to get into a shouting
match with Chris. You guys can
move on.
Because youre losing, thats
why, Matthews retorted.
Garbage, Priebus said.
Youre garbage, Matthews
concluded.
Priebus, talking to the media
later, said Matthews was the
biggest jerk in the room. Joe
Scarborough and Mika Brzezin-
ski of Morning Joe were clear-
ly perturbed. While Scarbo-
rough later said we love Chris,
he said Matthews outburst
wasted five minutes of the show.
If people come on our show
and do that, theyre not going to
come back on our show until
were certain that theyre not go-
ing to do that, he said at a lun-
cheon sponsored by the Poynter
journalism think tank. The
problem is, the people who do
that, whether its on cable TV or
online ... they are rewarded by
the extremists on either the far
right or the far left.
Tim Graham of the conserva-
tive media watchdog Media Re-
search Center, said Matthews, a
former Democratic legislative
aide, has been going overboard.
He just comes across as an
angry crank and he says things
that are not thought out at all,
Graham said. He just blurts. In
recent months, he has become
the biggest target in a target-rich
environment.
Matthews week comes amid
a sharpening of opinion pro-
gramming on outlets like
MSNBC and Fox since 2008.
And conventions are the perfect
venues for those in that line of
work, saidFrankSesno, a former
CNN Washington bureau chief
and now a professor at George
Washington University.
For those who want to be in
the opinion world, this is heaven
because youre there for a fight
or youre going there to cheer-
lead, Sesno said. If youre an
opinionator, and youre there
with that mission, this is what
you live for.

Avenue said two men dressed
in black entered his apartment
at 12:25 a.m. Saturday and
stole an Xbox 360, Playstation
3, a wallet and a 1-year-old
female pit bull. Kurovsky said
he fled the apartment as the
actors entered and called po-
lice from a friends house.
WILKES-BARRE - A man
walking on South Main Street
Saturday afternoon had a gold
chain stolen from around his
neck, police said.
Tom Hunter told police a
man came up from behind him

chain and fled on foot toward
the Midtown Village.
The suspect is white, 61
tall, wearing a red shirt, gray
shorts, dark sneakers and dog
tags, police said.
HAZLE TWP. A flat-screen

tween 5 p.m. Friday and 5 p.m.
Saturday at the residence of

and Ronald Jeanette, 48, on
Pine Valley Lane, state police
said. The victims are in the
process of moving and very
little personal property re-
mained in the residence. No
items were reported missing.

West Nile advice given
T
he Wilkes-Barre City Health
Department advises all residents
to take proactive measures to mini-
mize any health risks posed by the
West Nile virus.
All residents should remove any
pools of water accumulating on their
property as that attracts mosquitoes
that could pos-
sibly carry the
virus. Wheelbar-
rows and wading
pools should be
overturned to
prevent stagnant
water from col-
lecting where mosquitoes breed.
Piled tires are also an attractive
nuisance for mosquitoes as well as
recycling containers and garbage
cans that do not have drainage in the
bottom of the container. Outdoor
activities do not need to be curtailed
but insect repellant is always recom-
mended as a precaution.
There have been 15 reported cases
of the West Nile virus in Pennsylva-
nia in 2012. According to the Center
for Disease Control (CDC), 1,600
cases have been reported in the
United States this year, the highest
year on record since 1999. West Nile
virus can lead to severe health com-
plications, including meningitis,
encephalitis, paralysis, and even
death.
If residents act on these proactive
measures, their risk of contracting
the virus will be significantly re-
duced. If anyone has questions, they
can contact the Wilkes-Barre City
Health Department at 570-208-4268
or visit http://www.west-
nile.state.pa.us.

permanency issues, regulations and
stress reduction, making the transi-
tion from grandparent to parent,
drug and alcohol issues, emotional
intelligence, conflict resolution, and
a presentation by grandparents. And
there will be many resource tables to
browse.
Keynote speaker will be Cindy
Loftus-Vergari, a noted professional
in providing support and services to
those families involved in grandpar-
enting the second time around.
To register, contact Sue Harding at
the Area Agency for Aging at 822-

WILKES-BARRE On-street
parking is at a premiumoutside
the Luzerne County Cour-
thouse Annex during the week
and a law firm is paying a pre-
miumto rent a meter daily for a
lengthy trial.
The city is charging Houri-
gan, Kluger & Quinn $10 a day
for a spot onNorthState Street,
said Drew McLaughlin, assist-
ant to Mayor Tom Leighton.
Its well above what the me-
ter would bring in on its own. It
costs 25 cents to park for 20
minutes andthereis afour-hour
limit. Over an eight-hour peri-
od it generates $6 in revenue.
The law firm sought permis-
sionfromthe city touse the me-
ter for a trial expectedtolast up
to four weeks, Sue Greenfield,
office manager of the law firm
said.
She said the law firm is not
getting special treatment with
the meter rental. Anybody can
do it, she said.
McLaughlin confirmed there
is a daily rate for rental andadd-
ed, Thecitywill bagmeters for
necessary events but they are
never free and it is always for
temporary needs.
The city police department
reviews requests to bag meters,
he said.
An orange plastic bag with
HKQ Law Firm marked on it
in black letters covers the me-
ter for the reserved space.
Greenberg said the law firm
rented six spaces at the nearby
Genetti parking lot for parale-
gals and attorneys involved in
the trial. But it asked for the on-
street spot in order to park a ve-
hicle used to bring witnesses
and paperwork to the trial.
She estimated someone from
the firmis probably in and out

WEST PITTSTON Jan
Lokutas excitement about art
is contagious and he often uses
it to entertain and inform area
youngsters.
Saturdays art project at the
West Pittston Library creating
a mural depicting the Susque-
hanna River at West Pittston
was no exception.
He has entitled the project
View on the Susquehanna.
The scene includes a few
lounge chairs where the viewer
might picture himself sitting
and enjoying the river.
Ninety percent of the time
the river stays quietly within
its banks. We shouldfullyenjoy
it at those times, said Lokuta.
Lokuta was also mindful,
however, of the devastation
that the river caused during
the 2011 flooding and that the
library itself hadbeenclosedas
a result of water damage.
The fact the library has reo-
pened and is now fully func-
tional is a tribute to the resil-
ience and resolve of both the li-
brary staff and area residents.
Children need to both value
and respect the river, said
Lokuta. Its an area reality.
The young participants sur-
rounded the artist as he gave
careful direction as to how the
paint should be successfully
applied to the canvas. Lokuta
also encouraged participants
to be fearless and creative as
they painted.
Im not really good in art
class, but this is fun, said a
smilingJosephGacek, 10, as he
added shades of green to the
mountains depicted in the mu-
ral.
Summer Belles, services co-
ordinator at the library, was al-
so very excited about the op-
portunity to allow children to
get a better understanding of
the river, especially a year after
it overflowed its banks.
Lokuta also shared informa-
tion on the watershed concept
and reminded attendees that,
The river starts in our own
backyard, anywhere it rains or
snows.
The event will continue
through the next two Satur-
days, Sept. 8 and15, from1to 4
p.m. Children ages 7 to 11 are
welcome to participate.
For more information, the
public can contact Summer
Belles at the West Pittston Li-
brary, 654-9847.

rowds begin to trickle in at La Festa Italiana in downtown Scranton on a hot Saturday afternoon. The festival
will be open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. today and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday. The festival features lots of food and entertain-
ment. An Italian Mass is set for today at 10 a.m. in St. Peters Cathedral. A fireworks show is also planned. Monday

HARVEYS LAKE Jimmy
Buffet might not island hop on
these, but the Harveys Lake Pro-
tective Association has just fin-
ished giving a facelift to the
median islands located in the
center of three intersections
within the borough, and now
help is needed to maintain
them.
Mark Sobeck, past president
of the association and co-chair-
man of the Island Maintenance
Committee said the three
median islands were left go for
quite sometime. Once looking
sparseandbrown, theislands to-
day are lush and green, adding
tothe natural beauty of Pennsyl-
vanias largest natural lake.
The eight-year project con-
sistedof more thanjust planting
a few flowers. Using several dif-
ferent landscapers, Sobeck said
the project included weeding,
lighting, irrigation, a selection
of a variety of plants, seasonal
cleanups, and a new wooden
sign welcoming residents and
visitors at the lake entrance.
Now the association needs
some help again. They are look-
ing to mirror a fundraiser they
did in 2004 to kick off the pro-
ject. Sobeck said they were able
to raise about $16,000 then and
are hoping for the same.
We are hoping the response
will be similar, he said. Funds
raised will go toward maintain-
ing the islands for years to
come, Sobeck said.
Letters will be sent out to all
association members, roughly
190 lake residents, he said. Busi-
nesses or residents who are not
currently members can join or
make donations through their
website, www.hlpa.org.
The new landscaping is eye
catchingandresidents arenotic-
ing. Sobeck said he received a
letter fromaresident whostated
the islands look fantastic.
Borough council chairman
Francis Kopko said he has heard

Two years ago, when 41-year-old Lael
Swank of Mountain Top found out she had
breast cancer, her friends andfamily pulled
together to support her.
Its been a rough two years, said
Swank, a mother of two young boys.
Each week, after dropping her children
off at school, she and her husband, Randy,
40, would drive to Fox Chase Cancer Cen-
ter in Philadelphia for her treatment.
Swank said shes been very open about
her diagnosis with her sons, ages 10 and 7,
because she didnt want them to be afraid
of the unknown. They went wig shopping
with me and were with me when I shaved
myhead, shesaid. Theyrejust twoamaz-
ing little boys.
Last October the players, cheerleaders
and coaches of her oldest sons junior foot-
ball team in Mountain Top, The Blitz,
recognized Breast Cancer Awareness Day
by wearing pink socks, shirts and ribbons.
There I was, sitting in the bleachers
with no hair and a bandana on my head,
taping cleats with pink tape, she said.
Therewas alineof 20littleboys waitingto
get pinked out.
On Saturday, Swanks many supporters
will cheer her and the roughly 140 mem-
Mountain Top woman hopes to stop cancer cold
Lael Swank and a team of 140
supporters will participate in the
Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.

U.N. envoy urges change
T
he U.N.s new envoy to Syria said
on Saturday that President Bashar
Assads regime should realize that the
need for change was both urgent and
necessary and that it must meet the
legitimate demands of the Syrian
people.
Lakhdar Brahimis comments in an
interview with al-Arabiya television
came as Syrian warplanes and ground
forces pounded the countrys largest
city, Aleppo, with bombs and mortar
rounds while soldiers clashed with
rebels in the narrow streets of its old
quarter, according to activists.
The latest violence shows that gov-
ernment troops are still struggling to
regain full control of the city from the
lightly-armed rebels nearly five weeks
after they stormed their way into it in a
surprise offensive. Activists said rebels
also captured an air defense facility in
the east of the country near the border
with Iraq.
OLD BRIDGE, N.J.
Marine tweeted on killing
Unhappy with his life as a Marine
stationed in California, Terence Tyler
posed a question three years ago on
Twitter: is it normal to want to kill
ALL of ur coworkers?
Struggling with depression, he left
the Marines and recently started work-
ing at a supermarket in New Jersey.
On Friday morning, Tyler shot two
co-workers and himself, police said.
The 23-year-old, clad in desert camou-
flage gear, opened fire at a Pathmark
store in Old Bridge Township, author-
ities said.
Authorities are investigating his
motive, but family members said Tyler
was discharged from the Marines two
years ago after suffering from depres-
sion.
BOSTON
2 suspended after lab tests
State officials have suspended two
supervisors at a Massachusetts crime
lab where a chemist is accused of mis-
handling drug evidence, which could
expose thousands of drug convictions
to legal challenges, and defense at-
torneys told a newspaper that she tried
to alter an evidence log.
The Boston lab was closed Thursday
after state police say they discovered
that the chemist failed to follow testing
protocols. The lab certified drug evi-
dence in cases submitted by local po-
lice from around the state.
The Massachusetts attorney gener-
als office is conducting a criminal
investigation. The chemist resigned in
March during an internal investigation
but has not been charged. Officials
have not named her.
MOGADISHU, SOMALIA
Pirates kill hostage
Somali pirates who have been hold-
ing a hijacked ship for nearly two years
killed a Syrian hostage crew member
and wounded another to protest de-
layed ransom payment, a pirate leader
said.
This is believed to be the first time
Somali pirates have killed a hostage
because of a delay in ransom.
Hassan Abdi, a pirate commander in
Haradhere town, a key pirate center,
said Friday that the killing on Wednes-
day was a message to the owners of the
ship MV Orna that was hijacked off
Seychelles in 2010.

CHARLOTTE, N.C.
President Barack Obama ac-
cused Mitt Romney and Re-
publicans on Saturday of offer-
ing outdated ideas that are ill-
suitedtovoters duringthefirst
stop on a march
to the Demo-
cratic conven-
tion. Romney,
fresh from his
GOP conven-
tion, vowed to
bringmore jobs tothe country,
bemoaning 23 million people
out of workor underemployed.
Despite all the challenges
that we face in this newcentu-
ry, what they offered over
those three days was, more of-
ten than not, an agenda that
was better suited for the last
century, Obama said in Ur-
bandale, Iowa, on a sprawling
500-acre property that serves
as a museum of farming histo-
ry.
It was a rerun. Wed seen it
before. You might as well have
watched it on a black-and-
white TV, the president said.
Romney, at Cincinnatis
Union Terminal, gave a re-
tooledcampaignspeechwitha
nod to the start of college foot-
ball season and a focus on cre-
ating jobs. If you have a coach
thats zero and 23 million, you
sayits timetoget anewcoach.
Its time for America to see a
winning season again, and
were going to bring it to
them.
Obama, as his partys faith-
ful began streaming to Char-
lotte, N.C., for this weeks con-
vention, assailed Romneys
three-day gathering in Tampa,
Fla., as voidof anynewideas to
help voters struggling with an
economy saddled with an un-
employment rate of 8.3 per-
cent.
There was a lot of talk
about hard truths and bold
choices, but nobody ever ac-
tually bothered to tell you
what they were, Obama said.
And when Gov. Romney had
his chance to let you in on his
secret, he did not offer a single
new idea, just retreads of the
same old policies that have
been sticking it to the middle
class for years.
Both men were campaign-
ing across the country as the
race entered September, each
day adding to the sense of ur-
gency in a presidential contest
that has remained tight since
Romney sewedupthe nomina-
tion in April. They recognize
that undecided voters, includ-
ing those in about eight key
states, will begintofullyassess
their options through the con-
ventions andthe upcomingde-
bates in the weeks ahead.
Flanked by House Speaker
John Boehner and leading
Ohio Republicans, Romney
vowed to cut the deficit and
work toward balancing the
budget, open new markets for
American products and crack
down on unfair trade practices
by competitors, issues closely
watched by voters dependent
on Ohios manufacturing base.
The newGOPnominees voice
grew hoarse as he debuted a
slimmed-down version of his
convention address with a
heavy emphasis on his jobs
agenda.
Both Romney and running
mate Paul Ryan focused their
attention on Ohio the Wis-
consin congressman shook
hands with voters and flipped
burgers in the parking lot of
OhioStadiuminColumbus be-
fore the start of an opening
weekend football game be-
tween Ohio State and Ryans
alma mater, Miami University
of Ohio. Ohio is a linchpin in
Romneys strategy, a recogni-
tion that no Republican has
won the White House without
carrying the Midwestern bat-
tleground. No Democrat has
won without winning Ohio
since John F. Kennedy in1960.
We recognize what a great
responsibility youve given
us, Romney said at Cincinna-
tis Union Terminal, and how
much you expect fromus to be
able to get back the White
House and get America back
on track.
Obamas run-up to the con-
vention was taking him
through the battleground
states of Iowa, Colorado, Ohio
andVirginia, four states he car-
ried in 2008 that also are at the
top of Romneys wish list. Fol-
lowing his stop Saturday in
suburban Des Moines, he was
traveling to Sioux City, Iowa,
before heading to Colorado for
an event today with college
students at the University of
Colorado in Boulder.

NEW ORLEANS As the
remnants of Hurricane Isaac
pushed their way up the Missis-
sippi valley on Saturday, spin-
ning off severe thunderstorms
and at least two tornadoes,
some onthe Gulf coast were im-
patient with the pace of restor-
ing power days after the storm
dragged through the region.
While New Orleans streets
were bustling again and work-
ers were returning to offshore
oil rigs, thousands of evacuees
couldnt return home to flood-
ed low-lying areas of Louisiana
and more than 400,000 swelter-
ing electricity customers in the
state remained without power.
Meanwhile, the National
Weather Servicesaidtwotorna-
does touched down in rural ar-
eas of north-central Illinois.
There were no reports of dam-
age. By midday Saturday, the
stormhaddumpedupto5inch-
es of rain in parts of Illinois.
The National Weather Ser-
vice said it was bringing more
rain and some drought relief to
parts of the Mississippi and
Ohio River Valleys.
In Louisiana, the number
without power was down from
morethan900,000. However, in
heavily populated Jefferson
Parish near New Orleans, par-
ish president John Young said
Entergy Corp. was too slow in
restoring electricity.
I dont see boots on the
ground, said Young, who com-
plained that he has seen repair
trucks sitting idle in a staging
area and fielded calls from resi-
dents and business owners
complainingabout alackof pro-
gress.
Weve restored about 45 per-
cent of our customers inabout a
day and a half, Entergy spokes-
man Chanel Lagarde said. He
added that crews have come in
from 24 states. In many situa-
tions, crews have driven all day
and have worked their 16-hour
day and have to rest for the
day.
New Orleans Mayor Mitch
Landrieu said he too was anx-
ious toget power backon. Like
everybody else, my patience is
wearing thin, he said.
Parts of coastal Plaquemines
Parish, where thousands were
evacuated, remained under wa-
ter. But in the water-logged
townof Lafitte, Mayor TimKer-
ner was allowing property own-
ers and residents to return and
begin cleaning up.
Meanwhile, Gulf of Mexico
oil platforms were being repop-
ulated after Isaac forced shut-
down of most Gulf oil produc-
tion.
People stuck inside stuffy,
powerless homes were compar-
atively lucky. The governors of-
fice said more than 4,000 were
instate, local or RedCross shel-
ters as of Saturday morningand
that doesnt count others who
took refuge with friends, family
or in hotels.

NEW YORK A teenager
headed to a sweet 16 party was
killed after he stuck his head out
of the emergency hatch of a dou-
ble-decker bus and hit the under-
side of a highway overpass, au-
thorities said.
The gruesome accident fol-
lowed the warnings of a security
guardonthe bus who saidhe told
the teens re-
peatedly not to
open the hatch.
Daniel Fer-
nandez, 16, was
among 65 teens
aboard the bus
Friday night
from New York
City on its way
to the party in
Garfield, N.J.,
saidSteveCole-
man, spokes-
man for the Port Authority of
New York and New Jersey.
The teens were dancing and
the bus had gotten hot, the secu-
rity guard, Alex Franco, told the
Daily News. Still, he said, he had
askedthe teens toleave the emer-
gency hatch alone.
I told them not to open the
hatch, like three or four times,
but kids, they dont understand,
he said.
Fernandezs English teacher at
St. Francis Preparatory School in
Queens echoed that sentiment.
Sometimes kids dont recog-
nize their own mortality, said
Jane Lynch, her voice trembling.
Franco said he had gone down-
stairs to tell the driver that it was
getting too hot.
Two, five minutes I was down-
stairs, he said.
But then he heard teenagers
screaming, and he saw Fernan-
dez on the floor of the bus.
There was so much blood every-
where, he told The New York
Post.
Fernandez was pronounced
dead at a hospital.
Kids loved him; he had lots of
friends and was popular with the
girls, said Lynch, who taught
him last school year.
She said a group of students
had a special last project, produc-
ing and appearing in a takeoff on
the novel Lord of the Flies,
about a group of boys on a desert
island who try to govern them-
selves, with disastrous results.
He was very hands-on, he
took the leadership role, said El-
izabeth Gonzalez, a student
teacher at St. Francis last year.
The school said on its website
that it shared in grief and shock
over his death. Awake was set for
Monday, the site said.

WHOLE BATH REMODEL AT $7,800
PITTSBURGH A much-
publicized plan by two Pennsyl-
vania health companies to study
possible impacts from gas drill-
ing is only in the preliminary
stages as the groups continue to
look for major funding. Mean-
while, a group that has been ex-
amining similar questions is
starting to focus on air quality, as
precise numbers of people
whove had health complaints
linked to drilling remain elusive.
Geisinger Health Systems of
Danville and Guthrie Health of
Sayre are in the planning stages
of examining how people might
be affected by gas drilling activ-
ity. Geisinger spokeswoman
Marcy Marshall said the compa-
ny has received $100,000 from a
local charitable organization and
is seeking other grants. The ini-
tial funding will pay for the plan-
ning stage and some pilot stud-
ies, she said.
Guthrie spokeswoman Maggie
Barnes said the company hasnt
received any funding or started
research. Guthrie will seekfuture
grants and do research in collab-
oration with Geisinger.
Raina Rippel of the Southwest
Pennsylvania Environmental
Health Project said their next big
push will be on air quality. We
have plans in the works to look at
personal monitors people could
wear to detect harmful levels of
natural gas, she said. Rippel said
thereve been dozens of com-
plaints in the community they
serve, about 50 miles south of
Pittsburgh, and some patterns
are emerging. But the nonprofit
group hasnt conclusively linked
the complaints tonearby drilling.
Until a few months ago, Penn-
sylvania public health officials
had expected to get a share of the
revenue being generated by the
states new Marcellus Shale law,
which is projected to provide
about $180 million to state and
local governments in the first
year.
But representatives from Re-
publican Gov. Tom Corbetts of-
fice and the state Senate cut the
health appropriation to zero dur-
ing final negotiations, so nowthe
state Department of Healthis left
witha newworkloadbut no fund-
ing to examine whether gas drill-
ing impacts health. A Congres-
sional committee in June also
turned down an Obama adminis-
tration request to fund $4.25 mil-
lion in research on how drilling
may affect water quality.
Health studies on gas drilling impact need funding
By KEVIN BEGOS
Associated Press
HARRISBURG The Penn-
sylvania Department of Trans-
portation said Friday it has estab-
lisheda newprocedure for the ve-
ry oldest state residents to obtain
the newly required voter IDafter
its computer system would not
recognize the age of a 105-year-
old woman.
PennDOT spokeswoman Jan
McKnight said supervisors will
inform staff about the new proc-
ess, developed two days after Al-
ice Carlson had trouble getting
identification because of her age.
Carlson showed up at a Penn-
DOTlicensing center in Snyders-
ville on Wednesday, but the com-
puter would not recognize an age
above 104. Instead, it wanted to
record her as being 6 years old.
I guess they dont really ex-
pect 105-year-old folks to come in
for an ID, said state Rep. Mario
Scavello, R-Monroe, who accom-
panied Carlson to get the photo
ID, which will be mandatory for
voters in Pennsylvania starting
with the Nov. 6 election.
Scavello, a supporter of the
voter ID law, has offered to drive
anyone who needs one to the li-
censing center. So far, about six
people have taken him up on it.
After an hour and a half, Penn-
DOT used a work-around to get
an official ID into the hands of
Carlson, a lifelongDemocrat who
first voted for Franklin Roosevelt
in 1932. Reached at her home in
Canadensis on Friday, Carlson
declined to comment.
Carlsonmovedto the Poconos,
her longtime vacation spot, after
the death of her husband. Scavel-
lo said she drove until about two
years ago, when she moved to
Pennsylvania.
McKnight said PennDOT will
be using a paper-based process
for voters 105 and older, at least
until it can figure out how to fix
the computer system code so
that it will permit ages above104.

WILKES-BARRE Carol Cool-
baugh, who lost her son to an
overdose three years ago, be-
lieves that addiction to drugs and
alcohol is not a moral weakness
or a character defect, but a dis-
ease.
The disease, she said, steals
time andenergy, love andjoy, and
the very soul of its victims.
Friday nights International
Overdose Awareness Day obser-
vation at Kirby Park provided op-
portunity to share information
about the addictionmodel as well
as fellowship and support for
thosewhohavelost alovedoneto
the disease of addiction.
Coolbaugh looks back at her
sons life with both joy and sad-
ness.
"I remember Eriks joy at being
able to earn money and buy
things for his kids," Coolbaugh
said. "He had a lot of hope and a
lot of challenges."
Darlene Duggins-Magdalinski,
a speaker at the event, said, One
personcanmakeadifference, and
together we can change the
world.
She emphasized a sense of re-
sponsibilitytoothers inbothfam-
ilies and communities. She also
emphasized the importance of
facing addiction honestly and
bravely.
Michael Donahue, administra-
tor of Luzerne County Alcohol
and Drug Services, and Stefanie
Salavantis, Luzerne County dis-
trict attorney, both addressed at-
tendees, acknowledging the con-
tinuing need for resources within
the community to address addic-
tion in the long term.
Salvation Army Lieutenants
Ted and Sharon Tressler were on
handtoshareinformationandfel-
lowship with families gathered.
So many people are affected
by addictionandmany live witha
great sense of shame and isola-
tion, said Ted Tressler. This
type of event brings people to-
gether and helps people feel con-
nected to others in similar situa-
tions.
The SalvationArmyoriginated
the event in 2001 to commemo-
rate those the organization had
served who had died from an
overdose. The effort is now glob-
al.
The event concluded with a
balloon release at dusk as names
of those who had died from their
addiction were read by family
members. Many were visibly
moved as the balloons ascended.
Locally, GRASP (Grief Recov-
ery After Substance Passing) was
created to provide local families
with support and understanding.
Headed by Coolbaugh, the group
meets twice a month and always
welcomes new members. Infor-
mation on GRASP is available by
calling Carol Coolbaugh at 570-
991-7199 or visiting the groups
website www.grasphelp.org.

the state Revenue Department
and begin collecting the 6 per-
cent state tax on orders shipped
to Pennsylvania plus local
sales taxes of 2 percent in Phila-
delphia and 1 percent in Pitts-
burgh or face potential audits
and penalties like in-state mer-
chants.
Officials expect stepped-up
compliance to generate $43 mil-
lion for Pennsylvanias battered
state treasury during the 10
months left in the fiscal year
that ends June 30.
The department acknowledg-
es that it does not know how
many businesses should be col-
lecting the tax.
There is no database or re-
source that allows us to identify
all businesses or all those that
should have Pennsylvania sales-
tax licenses, said department
spokeswoman Maia Warren.
Many online retailers can ig-
nore Saturdays deadline be-
cause they lack a physical pres-
ence in the state and do not en-
gage in certain business activ-
ities here either of which
requires them to collect the tax.
The physical-presence stan-
dard was established by a 20-
year-old U.S. Supreme Court de-
cision. In a December directive,
the department spelled out
commercial activities such as
company sales-people regularly
visiting the state that it says
also constitute a Pennsylvania
nexus and requires retailers to
collect the taxes.
Seattle-based Amazon, which
had long refused to collect the
tax, reversed itself and agreed
to start collecting the Pennsyl-
vania tax on orders shipped Sat-
urday. Amazon has a clear phys-
ical presence, operating six ful-
fillment centers in Cumberland,
York, Lehigh and Luzerne coun-
ties.
We believe that (Pennsylva-
nia) customers will continue to
come to Amazon because we of-
fer the best prices with or with-
out sales tax, said Amazon
spokesman Scott Stanzel.
EBay Inc. says it is not subject
to the law.
The obligation to collect and
remit sales tax in the state of
Pennsylvania is a requirement
on retailers, said Brian Bieron,
senior director of federal gov-
ernment relations for the Cali-
fornia-based company. EBay is
not a retailer, eBay is a market-
place that is used by shoppers,
retailers and other sellers.
Several bills pending in Con-
gress would make it easier for
states to recover an estimated
$20 billion in sales taxes that go
uncollected by online mer-
chants every year.
Corbett is one of seven Repub-
lican governors who in July en-
dorsed the Marketplace Fair-
ness Act, a Senate bill that has
bipartisan support. It would au-
thorize all states to require on-
line retailers with $500,000 or
more in annual sales to collect
sales taxes, so long as states
simplify their tax procedures
and certify tax-collection soft-
ware for use by Internet compa-
nies.
If it passes, states rights will
be respected and the states will
gain new revenue without new
taxes or federal spending, said
Stanzel at Amazon, which sup-
ports the measure.

mit, went home to be with his
Savior on Saturday evening, August
4, 2012.

Barton was owner and builder of
Forest Acres Development and a
master plasterer. Bart was very
proud of his work in the Masonic
Lodge, serving as a two-time Mas-
ter of the Waverly Lodge #301, but
he considered his children and
grandchildren to be his crowning
glory. Bart trulylivedagreat lifeand
had the best stories to prove it. His
claimtofame was his ability tomeet
someone waiting in line or any-
where and by the time he left the
building, they would have found
something in common and become
good friends.
After completing high school,
Bart joined the Navy during World
War II and was put into the Medics
Division. Throughout his life, Bart
has left a legacy of hard work, deter-
mination and an unsurpassing pas-
sion for fostering his relationships
with old and new friends. He had
such a love for life and lived each
day to its fullest. His interests in-
cluded salmon and lake trout fish-
ing in Canada, hunting, basketball
(especially following Steve Nash),
square dance andballroomdancing,
riding his Harley, snow skiing and
roller-skating. He also enjoyed
moonlight hiking on the Supersti-
tion Mountains in Arizona. But
most of all, he just loved being part
of whatever his grandchildren were
doing and being proud of their ac-
complishments.
He is survived by four children,
Barton R. Earl and his wife, Ellen,
Barbara Rozelle and her husband,
Richard, Beverly Piconi and Bryon
Earl and his wife, Mary. He had 11
grandchildren, four great-grandchil-
dren, six nieces, 12 nephews and a
multitude of lifetime friends.
Bart will be cremated in Apache
Junction, Arizona and brought
home to rest.
A memorial service will be
held Friday, September 21,
2012 from 7 to 8 p.m. at Waverly
Lodge #301, North Abington Road,

LOSANGELESHal David,
thestylish, heartfelt lyricist who
teamed with Burt Bacharach on
dozens of timeless songs for mo-
vies, television and a variety of
recording artists in the 1960s
and beyond, has died. He was
91.
David died of complications
froma stroke Saturday morning
at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
in Los Angeles, according to his
wife, Eunice David.
He had suffered a major
stroke in March and was strick-
en again on Tuesday, she said.
Even at the end, Hal always
had a song in his head, Eunice
Davidsaid. He was always writ-
ing notes, or asking me to take a
note down, so he wouldnt for-
get a lyric.
Bacharach and David were
among the most successful
teams in modern history, with
top 40 hits including Rain-
drops Keep Fallin On My
Head, Close to You and
Thats What Friends Are For.
Although most associated with
Dionne Warwick, their music
was recordedby many of the top
acts of their time, fromthe Beat-
les and Barbra Streisand to
Frank Sinatra and Aretha Fran-
klin. They won an Oscar for
Raindrops Keep Fallin on My
Head (from the movie Butch
Cassidy and the Sundance
Kid), Grammys and Tonys for
the songs fromthe hit Broadway
musical Promises, Promises.
David joined the board of the
American So-
ciety of Com-
posers, Au-
thors and Pub-
lishers in 1974
and served as
president 1980
to 1986. He
was head of
the Songwriters Hall of Fame
from 2001 to 2011, and was
Chairman Emeritus at his
death.
As alyric writer, Hal was sim-
ple, concise andpoetic -- convey-
ing volumes of meaning in few-
est possible words andalways in
service to the music, ASCAPs
current president, the songwrit-
er Paul Williams, said in a state-
ment. It is no wonder that so
many of his lyrics have become
part of our everyday vocabulary
and his songs... the backdrop of
our lives.
In May, Bacharach and David
received the Library of Con-
gress Gershwin Prize for Pop-
ular Song during a White House
tribute concert attended by
President Barack Obama.
Bacharach, 83, thanked Oba-
ma, saying the award for his
lifes work topped even the Os-
cars and Grammys he won for
individual projects. David could
not attend because he was reco-
vering froma stroke. Eunice Da-
vid accepted on his behalf.
More than 55 years after their
first songs hit the airwaves, Oba-
ma said these guys have still
got it. He noted their music is
still being recorded by such art-
ists as Alicia Keys and John Leg-
end.

Ostroski, who was diagnosed
withbreast cancer four years ago,

her life. Shes felt great since
then, getting plenty of exercise
and keeping tabs on her health.
In March, however, her oncolo-
gist, Dr. David Greenwald told
her the cancer came back, this
time in her lungs. This was all
found out by my doctor doing a
cat scan, she said, adding that
she never felt symptoms. I just
ran three miles on the treadmill.
Had he not done a cat scan, I
would have gone on for years,
happy-go-lucky, thinking I was
fine. Ostroski saida new, aggres-
sive medication is shrinking the
nodules in her lungs. The key is
early detection, she said. It
saved me twice. If you find a
lump, dont be afraid. It might be
nothing.

PITTSBURGH A man
Pittsburgh police describe as a
nationwide con man has been
jailed on charges that he ripped
off five upscale hotels for free
rooms and other services, and
tried to do so at a sixth, by tell-
ing desk clerks a sob story about
a stolen wallet.
Larry Raymond, 55, has no
known permanent address, and
online court records dont list an
attorney for him.
Raymond came to town Aug.
17 and told a real estate agent he
was looking for a downtown
apartment or condominium, De-
tective Jack Mook told the Pitts-
burgh Post-Gazette.
Once here, he stayed at five
upscale hotels by claiming his
wallet was stolen and promising
to pay later, each time producing
a phony bank statement as proof
that he had the financial means,
police said. But Raymond left
each hotel without paying and
triedto do the same at a sixthho-
tel, but became nervous and
left the building when a desk
clerk at the Renaissance Pitts-
burgh Hotel turned him away,
according to a criminal com-
plaint.
Police arrested Raymond on
Wednesday about an hour after
he checked into the Cambria
Suites hotel, where he was locat-
edwiththe helpof the real estate
agent. She told police Raymond
had claimed to be a wealthy reti-
ree fromHarrisburg who lost his
wallet at a convenience store
while trying to relocate to Pitts-
burgh.
Police first learned of Ray-
mond from the security director
of the Omni William Penn, who
told police last week that he left
without paying a $753 bill.
Mook eventually learned Ray-
mond skipped out on a $360 bill
at the Westin; a $792 tab for
three nights at the Downtown
DoubleTree; and $1,559 for five
nights at the Mariott. That bill
included meals in the lounge,
gift shop purchases, laundry and
even Starbucks coffee.

space, entertainment and shop-
ping.
I see it coming back, Healey
said.
A visioning project begun in
2001 has kept the focus on the
downtowns improvement with
the goals of making it a more at-
tractive place to live, work and
play. The R/C Wilkes-Barre Mo-
vies 14 multiplex and the Barnes
& Noble College bookstore have
helped turn the tide.
BID continues
The Diamond City Partner-
ship grew out of the project and
in 2007 established the Business
Improvement District as a means
to raise revenue from commer-
cial property owners to do just
that.
Elizabeth Graham, chief oper-
ating officer of Riggs Asset Man-
agement, moved back to the area
from working in Washington,
D.C., around the time the project
was under way.
The state of the downtown
disheartened her, she said.
One of my first priorities frankly
was to get involved.
Under her watch as partner-
ship chairwoman, the BID was
renewed on Aug. 1 through 2018.
The BID encompasses the area
between River Street and Penn-
sylvania Avenue bracketed by
North and South streets.
The first five years was build-
ing that foundationof a cleanand
safe city, Graham said.
With a 2012-13 budget of
$372,000 for the BID the next
phase will continue with the up-
keep of the district and begin
marketing and recruiting new
businesses downtown.
Since the inception of the BID,
there has been a net gain of 28 oc-
cupied storefronts and 23 new
market-rate housing units.
But downtown took a hit last
week when Frontier Communi-
cations announced it would relo-
cate approximately 110 employ-
ees fromthe Wilkes-Barre Center
office building to the companys
complex in Dallas Township by
the end of the year.
Graham noted the connection
between the commercial and the
residential components of the
downtown.
The more people living down-
town, the more businesses will
locate there, such as a coffee
shop, dry cleaner or small groce-
ry store, she said.
Big Ts Healey moved in to fill
a vacancy left by Carols Deli.
I thought the concept (of a
Coney Island restaurant) was
good, he said.
His patrons range from stu-
dents from either Kings College
or Wilkes University, some of the
estimated 15,000 workers down-
town and residents of the Provin-
cial Towers building.
We exceeded projections as
for our sales (for the month),
Healey said, adding late-night
hours to attract customers from
the nearby bars and restaurants.
Enough eateries
The downtown has reached
the saturation point of restau-
rants for Rob Finlay of Humford
Equities, and he wont lease any
of his available space unless its
something unique.
The next growthspurt is under
way with the construction of
apartments and condominiums.
I think theres a real demand
for housing, Finlay said.
Developers have noticed and
invested private money in a num-
ber of projects, addedLarry New-
man, a downtown resident and
vice president of planning, policy
and development with the Grea-
ter Wilkes-Barre Chamber of
Commerce.
The 22 condominium lofts at
University Corners are nearly
full. A dozen luxury apartments
occupy the two top floors of the
Luzerne Bank Building on Public
Square.
The 40 West Apartments occu-
pying three floors in the Wilkes-
Barre Family YMCA have been
marketed to students.
Among the best signs of a
downtown revival, people with
choices are choosing to live
here, Newman said.
The number of new housing
units fell below the minimum 50
units a year a 2003 study suggest-
ed the downtown needed to sup-
port additional retail develop-
ment and retain and attract busi-
nesses.
Newman acknowledged the
downtown has come a long way
and still more has to be done.
Its very much a work in pro-
gress, Newman said.
The mixed-use University Cor-
ners made up of the lofts, the
multiplex and street-level retail
and office space has been a draw.
Two other mixed-use projects
are in the works the Hampton
Park on the corner of East North-
ampton and South Washington
streets will have 14 luxury con-
dos and commercial space; and
the site of the Sterling Hotel.
The landmark building on the
corner of West Market and River
streets is slated for demolition
and the property will be devel-
oped. One proposal was submit-
ted to the city last month.
The citys philosophy toward
the revitalization of Live, Work,
and Play, is the same as the
chambers, saidGregBarrouk, di-
rector of economic development
for Wilkes-Barre.
Office space is pretty muchfil-
led. We have entertainment. Our
last component is the living, he
said.
DrewMcLaughlin, assistant to
Mayor Tom Leighton, pointed
out that most of the improve-
ments have occurred during the
economic crisis still gripping the
country.
When the economy turns
around, he said, the city will be
right there ready for newinvest-
ment.

AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
Tom Healey, owner of the recently opened Big Ts Coney Island
Deli on South Main Street, hopes to help bring downtown back.
stored every inch of the proper-
ty after he purchased it in 1994.
Hes doing the work himself to
save money and ignored advice
from others to scrap the original
woodwork and buy new.
In an ironic twist, he had can-
celed his flood insurance two
weeks before the floodhit, saying
his mortgage holder told him it
seemed unnecessary.
The structure isnt in the high-
risk zone that requires flood in-
surance with a mortgage, and it
wasnt added to the danger zone
in newflood insurance maps that
take effect in November. He
wont take chances again and has
renewed his policy.
His family has been living up-
stairs since late February. He
cant muster up optimism be-
cause the Susquehanna could re-
visit. He and his neighbors try to
distract themselves with other
topics, but the conversation al-
ways drifts back to that ever-pre-
sent reality.
Im paying a mortgage on a
worthless home waiting for the
river to come back again. Its a
terrible feeling, he said.
Still cleaning up
Plymouth Township neighbors
Ben Amos and Cora Blackwell
have been leaning on each other
for emotional support as they
continue to put their West Main
Street homes back together.
Amos thought hed be safe
when he bought his place in 2009
because the Susquehanna is near-
ly twomiles away andhe was told
his main worry would be base-
ment flooding.
The single home stayeddryun-
til July, when a freak rainstorm
caused flash flooding from Ply-
mouth Mountain. His basement
filled up, destroying a newoil fur-
nace, washer, dryer and deep
freezer freshly packed with food.
His replacement furnace was
destroyed by Lee, which brought
over 5 feet of water on the first
floor.
Amos, who is disabled, had to
gut the main floor and is relying
on friends to help with repairs.
He and his child and their two
cats squeezedintohis camper on-
site during much of the work. His
sons yard toys and swimming
pools were swept away, and the
homes cherished oak floors
buckled like a speed bump, he
said.
Blackwell has been on a gov-
ernment buyout list since 2006.
Shes shopping around to make
the most of her $29,000 flood in-
surance check. Her new white
kitchen cabinets were installed
last week, and she has a bucket of
cheery green paint ready for the
walls.
But fresh surroundings wont
compensate for the loss of tro-
phies and other belongings of her
son, Kyle Eckrote, who died in a
car crashin2009. Blackwell hasti-
ly elevated the items where they
would have been safe based on
initial water-level forecasts.
I watched her cry many days,
Amos said.
Though laughter is scarce
these days, they point to their
one moment of comic relief dis-
covering the whereabouts of a
jumbo pack of adult diapers that
belonged to Blackwells relative.
They landed scattered and water-
logged on a nearby tree.
It was decorated like a Christ-
mas tree, Amos said.
A life of worrying
Beverly Murphy thinks about
the damage caused by Irene ev-
ery day.
The raging Hettis Run creek
blew out a footbridge construct-
ed by her father more than 80
years ago, ripped out a section of
her Noxen Township, Wyoming
County, property and uprooted
massive trees, including one that
landed on her home.
Insurance covered the home
repairs, but her three sons had to
use chainsaws and all-
terrain vehicles to clear
out tree wreckage.
She worries about
several remaining trees
that are now leaning.
The creek has flooded
before but never got so
wild during the 77 years
shes lived there.
I never saw anything
like it in my entire life,
she said. I pray every
night and pray especial-
ly hard when they say a
storm is coming.
Butler Township resi-
dents Sandra and Ste-
phen Brill went to bed
late the night of Lees ar-
rival with no idea the
Nescopeck Creek be-
hind their home was go-
ing to flood.
They awoke at 7:15
a.m. to the sound of
emergency workers
bangingat the door. The
water was rising fast,
and they were ordered
to evacuate. They
grabbed their dog, Bar-
on, andscrambledinto a
rescue boat.
The Brills thought their days of
stressingover flooddamage were
behind them because they built
their Maple Drive home 6 feet off
the ground after 2000 flooding
destroyed their previous struc-
ture.
Eventheir tiny shedis 7 feet off
the ground, accessible by a stair-
case.
Sandra closed her eyes when
they opened the front door after
they were permitted to return
home three days later. The water
literally stopped at the doorsill,
though they spent weeks hauling
away flood junk out of their
yard.
Every time it rains, we always
worry, Sandra said.
Decision looming
Clarence Lewis is among more
than200 Luzerne County proper-
tyowners inlimboawait-
ing an expected govern-
ment buyout.
Lewis and his family
completedminor repairs
so they can live on the
second floor of their
home on North Susque-
hanna Avenue in Shick-
shinny. He cut out interi-
or damage caused by
more than5 feet of water
on the first floor but
doesnt want toinstall in-
sulation on the ground
level unless its likely the
family will remain there
this winter.
He doesnt want to
part with the more than
century-old home he
purchased in 2001, but
reconstruction isnt fea-
sible because the struc-
tureneeds costlyfounda-
tion repairs, he said. The
home was featured in
many historic photo-
graphs of the borough,
he said.
Shes an old house.
Shes had a lot of family
in it. Shes kept a lot of
families dry and warm, but the
houseitself has togotorest, said
Lewis.
He moved to Shickshinny from
Michigan and plans to buy anoth-
er home in the borough.
People are very warm, very
giving and very resilient in this
town. Im not willing to give up
on this community, he said.

Mike Aufiere hopes to save the woodwork in his West Pittston
Victorian, damaged by 2 feet of water last September.

tion visibly struggling to decide
whether to stay or go.
Someof themarerootedthere
most of their lives, if not all their
lives, so to pick up and leave, its
hardfor themtodo. Theyregiving
up their homes and a lot of their
heritage, Krommes said.
Krommes saidhe wouldnt have
the will to stay.
They knowtheyre going to get
flooded again. How much more
heartache can they deal with? he
said.
Jenkins Township Supervisor
Stanley Rovinski was on one of his
regular patrols of a bowl-shaped
Miller Street neighborhood
known as The Patch last week
and said its painful to see the de-
struction.
An entire section of the neigh-
borhoodis still inruins, withsever-
al homes off their foundations.
Hes encouraging property owners
to take advantage of buyouts.
Its like a war zone, he said as
hepassedahomewithasignwarn-
ing that trespassers will be shot.
Charles and Rosalie Romanuski
are among a handful of Patch resi-
dents who have returned to their
homes after the repair of first-floor
flooding.
Rosalie, 74, was born and raised
in the Jennings Street house and
cant picture living anywhere else.
Her street is at the highest eleva-
tion, and the property hasnt had
water since the prior record flood
in 1972.
Charles speaks proudly of the
homes foundation, which didnt
budge in September. He was acci-
dentally buried up to his neck in
cement building a new foot-thick
foundation in 1972.
Im staying, he said.
Rosalie said she will try to con-
sider a buyout with an open
mind.
Well see what they give, but
Im pretty sure we will stay, she
said.
We took a hit
Exeter resident Greg Lynch
watchedinhorror the morning of
Sept. 8as dumptrucks built a ma-
keshift levee on Susquehanna
Avenue to stop the river from
crossing the street.
The problem: Lynch and his
neighbors livedonthe river side of
the emergency flood wall.
Inthe prior recordfloodof 1972,
sandbags were piled up behind
these homes, and his house stayed
dry.
We took a hit for the rest of the
town. We saved 400 houses from
getting flooded, Lynch said.
The water stopped at the base-
ment ceiling. Helost familyphotos
and other mementos that piled up
in his 28 years there and had to re-
placethewater heater, furnaceand
electrical system.
Lynch eyes a nearby privately
owned island in the Susquehanna
River, saying its getting too big
and should be leveled. He believes
the island causes more water to
back up in his area.
He praised the American Red
Cross for its godsend of meals
and other organizations that pro-
vided assistance but has bad me-
moriesof asteadystreamof gawk-
ers who walked along the tempo-
rary levee surveying the damage
while he and his neighbors strug-
gled to clean.
I felt like I was a monkey in a
zoo. The flood brought out the
good and bad in people, he said.
Emotionally affected
Duryea resident Mark Naylor
must control his emotions as a
state police trooper, but it now
takes more effort whenhe encoun-
ters victims of fires whove lost ev-
erything.
Its getting harder for me to do
fire investigations. I see all the
emotions in people, and I know
how that feels, Naylor said.
Hisfamilylost almost all belong-
ings when the water rose 5 feet on
the first floor of his Chittenden
Street property because he had
cleared out the second floor prior
to the flood for remodeling.
The family is back home, with
only minor repairs on Naylors to-
do list.
Richard Brassington said he be-
came physically sick facing the
overwhelmingfloodcleanupof his
business, WyomingValleyWheels,
which has been located off Carey
Avenue in Plymouth for 35 years.
Three times I went to the hos-
pital. Thats how bad I felt, said
Brassington, who was prescribed
medication.
The windowpanes at his leased
building glistened last week from
the sun reflecting off the Susque-
hanna, and the sound of the water
below was soothing. But flood
mud residue more than 7 feet up
the walls creates a gloomy atmo-
sphere inside.
He parted with box after box of
once-valuable tools and parts and
routinely wastes time hunting for
the items he needs to change a tire
or complete other motorcycle re-
pairs. Brassington plans to scale
back and relocate to the garage be-
hind his Kingston home on Oct.
31.
Gertrude Yachna said the flood-
ing of her Chittenden Street home
was unsettling and chaotic.
The 80-year-old lives with sis-
ters Loretta, 82, and Johanna, 75,
along with her disabled nephew
James, 45.
Agenerous citizenput themina
hotel for six days before they
moved into a rental unit in Avoca.
It was hard, and we had to get
used to different surroundings,
Gertrude said.
Theyve been back in the family
homestead since January. The
home had basement flooding in
1972but got 6feet onthe first floor
in September.
She relied on some donated fur-
niture because her flood insurance
didnt cover all the needed con-
tents.
Its still going to be awhile be-
fore we get organized, she said.
I hope we never have to experi-
ence this again.
Taking another chance
Michael Moughan spent
$96,000 to renovate his Apple-
tree House Restaurant on state
Route 92 in Exeter Township,
withsomecoveredbyfloodinsur-
ance.
Were doing really good. We
came back better and stronger
than ever, he said.
Its the restaurants third flood
in eight years, though September
was the whopper because the wa-
ter hit the second floor, which
hasnt happened since 72.
He never considered calling it
quits and fully expects to pick up
his snow shovel to scrape out
mud again.
Were waiting for the next
one. Hopefully it wont be as
bad, he said.
Michele Mleczynski lost well
over $60,000 in inventory and in-
come when the water rose sever-
al feet inside the Tuft-Tex Com-
plex in Plains Township, where
she leased space for her bake
shop, Sugar Artists Emporium.
Shes back in business in a
larger space at the complex and
largely credits loyal customers
for convincing her to take the
plunge to borrow money and
start again.
Were keeping our fingers
crossed and keeping our chin
above water, said Mleczynski,
who was thankful to be reunited
with her original store sign that
had detached and washed down
the street.
Jim Houseknecht hit road-
blocks securing financing to reo-
pen his Shickshinny business, J-
Angelos New York Pizza, which
had 7 feet of water. He ended up
borrowing $40,000 from private
individuals to purchase all the
necessary furnishings and equip-
ment for the leased space.
Houseknecht said he and the
building owners mistakenly
thought the business contents
were covered under the owners
flood insurance.
He doesnt expect to draw a
paycheck for several years until
the loans are repaid and cant re-
lax until hes out of debt.
Its pretty stressful, he said.
Business is not too bad. I love it
here. The people are really nice.
Calling it quits
Debbie Zavada hasnt driven
past the Tuft-Tex Complex in
Plains Township since she and
her husband, John Jr., cleaned
out the mucky ruins of their busi-
ness, County Optical Inc.
One day Im going to wake up
and say I have to do this, but not
yet. I didnt think Idtake it as bad
as I did, she said.
The Zavadas leased space in
the complex and would have to
borrow $700,000 to buy the opti-
cal equipment needed to reopen
the 40-year family business. In-
stead, the couple gave up on busi-
ness ownershipandobtainedfull-
time employment working for
others.
Zavada doesnt want pity, say-
ing she feels bad for flood victims
still struggling to rebuild their
homes.
Its the homeowners I bleed
for, she said. A business is a
business. Its not a home.
Duryea resident Jimmy Pliska
also followed through on his
plans to sell the three-family
structure at the corner of Walnut
and Chittenden streets that was
built by his great-grandparents.
Pliska told Vice President Joe
Biden during his post-flood visit
to the boroughinSeptember that
he made the difficult decision to
sell, in part, because he was con-
cerned about future flooding.
Pittston residents William and
Michele Pambianco bought the
structure for $60,000 in January.
Michele said she is seeking rent-
ers for the three units, which
were completely remodeled.
It came out gorgeous, she
said. Were trying to help bring
that community back.
The River Street building oc-
cupied by Randus Southern
Open Pit Bar-b-que in Plains
Township is nowhome to Barton
Weidlichs foodandicecreameat-
ery, Sprinkles & Shakes.
Weidlich expanded the out-
door patio and redid the interior.
Ive had tons of compliments
on the work I did. Im off to a tre-
mendous start, Weidlich said.
Its nice that people rose above
the flood.
Rebuilding their lives
ColleenAzaravichandher fam-
ily and friends rolled up their
sleeves to tackle rebuilding of
their homes on Towpath Court in
Pittston, armed with countless
batches of soap and disinfectant.
Everybody pulled together. We
persevered. Thats all I can really
say, she said.
Thats not to say they didnt lose
their cool at times. There was occa-
sional screaming in the backyard.
We had times when youd want
to sit down and cry, which Ive
done. You let it out, she said.
Four Towpath Court homes in
the Azaravich family were heavily
damaged in September, and two
are back in shape.
Colleen and her husband, Leo,
are attached to the property they
purchased in 1956 and have gone
through several major floods dur-
ing their 60-year marriage.
We think about how much
weve accomplished. We had 6
inches of mud on the kitchen floor
a year ago, and now its nice and
clean, she said.
West Pittston resident Charles
Gallo basked in the sun on the
front porch of his Susquehanna
Avenue property last week.
It took five months to remodel
the property because the water
was up to the roof. Two neighbor-
ing structures are still out of com-
mission, but many property own-
ers have returned, he said.
Its come back nicely, he said.
Shickshinny resident Carl Rees
plans to return to his East Union
Street home by November. Hes
beenlivinginaFederal Emergency
Management Agency mobile
home in Salem Township.
It would be nice to get back to
normal, he said.
Hes not biting at a buyout be-
cause hes paid off his property
and doesnt want to go into debt
on a new one. His home of more
than a decade has high ceilings,
which kept the 14 feet of water
from reaching the second floor.
Right now, Im just going to
stick with the property, he said.
He refuses to get rattled by
flooding.
I wake up every morning. Im
still breathing. Im fine.
FLOODING
CLARK VAN ORDEN PHOTOS/THE TIMES LEADER
Flood mud and a stern warning grace the front porch of a home on Miller Street in Jenkins Township.
An overgrown playground adds to the ruinous atmosphere of the
Miller Street area in Jenkins Township.
The Susquehanna River swelled high enough to break this window
at Wyoming Valley Wheels in Plymouth last September.
Shoes coated in flood mud were left on the porch of a home in The
Patch section of Jenkins Township.
Clarence Lewis said hes waiting for a flood buyout because his more than century-old Shickshinny
home sustained costly structural damage last September.
Jenkins Township Supervisor Stanley Rovinski says the Miller Street neighborhood known as The
Patch still looks like a war zone due to flood damage last September.

W
hile Wilkes University and Kings
College are very competitive on the
athletic fields and in the student
recruiting process, the two have col-
laborated on joint ventures and have
started preliminary discussions about ways to ex-
pand that partnership.
During a sit down interview Tuesday, new Wilkes
President Patrick F. Leahy said hes looking forward
to bringing the two downtown Wilkes-Barre schools
closer together for the good of the city and for the
good of the two schools bank accounts. He said while
there is a rivalry andthe two compete onmany levels,
there is a history of cooperation that could help make
it easier to agreements for more joint ventures.
In 2006 the two schools joined forces to partner
with Barnes & Noble to lure the national book store
and coffee house to open a Downtown Joint Student
Book Store, on Public Square. The two, plus Miser-
icordia University in Dallas Township, have a cross
registration agreement in place so students interest-
ed in taking a course at another school can do so and
still get the credit at no extra charge.

eaning on his leaf rake, my neigh-
bor Alner looked around quizzical-
ly.
The old block sure seems quiet since
school started, he mused.
I nodded.
Happens every year, I said. But, you
know, some things really have changed.
Alner sighed.
Oh, no, he said. That look in your
eyes - I sense a trip coming on.
My friend couldnt have been more
right. Within seconds, thanks to my
power of metaphysical travel, we were
walking down a Wyoming Valley street of
many decades past, toward a high school
at the end of the block.
What schools that? he asked, point-
ing at the small, brick building.
Doesnt matter, I said. Every town
back in these times has its very own
public school system, grades one through
12, and everybody grows up ready to go
out and fight for the old green and white
or black and orange or whatever the
school colors are. Shall we go inside?
I know, I know, Alner sighed. Your
power of theoretical invisibility will en-
able us to observe and eavesdrop and
You got it, I laughed. Notice the
teacher getting up fromher desk and
heading to the lectern at the front of the
room.
Alners jawdropped. Shes reading
fromthe Bible. Nowshes leading prayer.
Right you are, buddy, I said.
Looks like theyre heading off to their
first class, he said as the students arose,
books and tablets retrieved fromthe
flip-top desks where theyd been sitting.
Buttheyre not making any noise.
In truth, the silence in the halls was
deafening.
Youll notice also that theres no horse-
play, no girl-guy stuff, I said. Get out of
line and you win a free trip to the dread-
ed office for a little one-on-one with the
assistant principal.
I wouldnt think about misbehaving,
he whispered.
Thats smart, I replied. Some of the
guys teaching here charged ashore at
Okinawa or parachuted into France on
D-Day. Think theyre afraid of a fewnoisy
teenagers? By the way, that lady librarian
over there was a Marine sergeant. Dont
run up any fines.
We enjoyed our time looking in on the
classes. In fact, Alner was absorbed.
I wondered howkids learned before
computers, he said as we ducked out of
a history room. NowI see: it was atten-
tion and respect. Probably reinforced at
home, too. The parents and teachers
must have been on the same page.
I nodded. Imnot saying everything
was perfect back here. Too many girls
were channeled away fromcollege, and
the dropout rate could have been im-
proved. But this era has a fewthings to
teach us.
As a buzzer sounded the kids headed
for the exits.
Whats that storefront theyre going
into? asked Alner as we sauntered down
the street.
Thats a dance club, I replied. There
are school dances every weekend, and the
kids still cant get enough. So nearly
every neighborhood has one of these little
after-school dance places.
Dancing was good fun, and it was the
way guys and girls met and formed rela-
tionships. They didnt have to go drink-
ing. During the summer theyd run out to
the dance pavilions at Sans Souci or
Harveys Lake and meet kids fromthe
other schools.
The aroma of french fries fromthe club
made me hungry, and I brought us back
to 2012.
I knowwe cant duplicate that past
world exactly, said Alner, picking up his
leaf rake. But I sense there is a lesson in
there somewhere
I smiled. Old buddy, you get an A-
plus.

Vicki Mayk, a Wilkes spokes-
woman, said the agreement be-
tween Wilkes and Kings has
been in effect since1980 and Mi-
sericordia joined the mix in
1996.
She noted that students can
register for any undergraduate
courses, with the exception of
pharmacy courses at Wilkes,
physician assistant courses at
Kings and occupational therapy
courses at Misericordia. Gradu-
ate courses are also excluded.
With budget concerns an is-
sue for most institutions of high-
er education, Leahy said it only
makes sense for schools in close
proximity to each other to look
at ways to stretch their dollars
without shortchanging stu-
dents. He said he met recently
with Kings College President
John Ryan and in their chat the
issue of collaboration came up
and ideas were bounced around
such as maybe joint purchasing
agreements, sharedservices like
IT, facilities maintenance and
more. Ryan himself has only
been at the helm at Kings for a
more than a year.
Leahy said he and Ryan
agreed to form task forces up
their respective schools staff to
look into the possibilities,
though he cautioned there was
no agreement to do anything by
a certain time. He is hopeful the
task force finds ways that make
sense and the two schools can
come to an agreement or two.
I would argue start with any-
thing thats not academic then
wade into academics, Leahy,
who lives in Bear Creek Village,
noted.
Ryan, in a statement relayed
through McAndrew, said the
conversation did occur and he
supports the premise. He said to
date it has not moved past that
initial discussion phase.
Were open to anything that
allows us to offer the same high
quality of education that would
mean more efficient use of tui-
tion dollars, McAndrew said
The father of four, who start-
ed July 1 after eight years at the
University of Scranton, said he
hopes to grow Wilkes enroll-
ment but he has no set ceiling in
mind and no concrete plans to
build any dormitories or apart-
ment complexes to handle stu-
dent body growth. He said on
the graduate level, online cours-
es and off-campus sites such as
the one the university opened in
the Poconos recently are ways to
accomplish growth without im-
pacting current on-campus in-
frastructure.
He said with no buildings in
the planning stages for campus,
the school will have to look at
how it can grow enrollment
within our existing infrastruc-
ture. Howor where that will oc-
cur is not something he has even
looked into yet, he added.
When the subject of the no
confidence vote the faculty gave
to his predecessor, Tim Gil-
mour, just a few months before
his 11th and final year at the
school ended, Leahy said he be-
lieves the style between himself
and Gilmour is so different that
he doesnt envision that prob-
lem occurring between him and
the faculty.
He has already implemented
changes to make sure college
deans and faculty and staff
members have more input in top
level decisions including the
budget.
Im very intentional about
the relationships Im establish-
ing both on campus and off,
Leahy noted, though he had
praise for a lot of the work Gil-
mour was able to accomplish at
the school. But he said in aca-
demics, some peoples time at a
school just run their course.
I think every 10 to 12 years a
university is ripe for a newstyle.
I think thats what I bring, Lea-
hy said.
He also touched on a variety
of other topics during his hour-
long sit down visit at The Times
Leader offices. Among them:
The schools $35 million sci-
ence center is on schedule to be
complete and open in time for
the 2013 fall semester. He said
the $20 million capital cam-
paign the school kicked off for
the project has raised $11 mil-
lion to date.
He will become the first
president since the schools first
president to not reside in the on-
campus presidents house on
West River Drive. He said with a
wife and four young children,
their home in Bear Creek is bet-
ter suited for the family, though
he will still host functions at the
presidents house and could stay
there if necessary.

Who is someone that you
strongly admired throughout
your life? I was so proud of
my husband when he ran for
judge and won. He juggled so
much in doing so. I would also
be remiss if I did not mention
my parents. They gave me the
freedom to do what I want and
that yielded me achieving a
great deal in life. The key mo-
ment was when they let me go
to boarding school in Mas-
sachusetts. That was a big
event in my life. That meant so
much.
What are some of your
favorite places in the world
that you have ventured to? I
absolutely loved Italy and its
culture. I would really like to
visit Egypt. The whole scope
of Egypt is alluring, from the
pyramids to the culture to
everything about its past. It is
very enticing since I am a
history buff.
What about here in North-
east Pennsylvania? Are
there interesting places or
events that you like to be
part of? We really like the
bazaars. I did not grow up with
them when I was younger. The
number of them in this area is
so intriguing and the foods
and entertainment at them is
so good.
In regards to this region,
what do you think needs to
be improved upon in North-
east Pennsylvania? I just
feel that it is such a great area
that some of he natives need
to appreciate more. I know it is
a changing culture here, but I
would like to see a continuing
interest grow in the communi-
ty. It has the ability to be a
vibrant region in business and
industry as well as community
spirit.
What have been some of
the proudest moments in
your life? Any big event that
occurs with my kids is huge.
Whether it be their birth or
graduation, anything that
revolves around my children is
a big event. I would also have
to say when my husband was
elected judge. That was so
important to me. It was so
important to him.

DALLAS The void is, per-
haps, too big to expect any one
player to fill.
Mike Baur, though, did his
best to do so on Saturday after-
noon.
The junior quarterback mak-
inghis first start replacinggradu-
ated Eugene Lewis ran for
three touchdowns and account-
ed for 245 yards of offense as
Wyoming Valley West knocked
off Dallas 28-14, spoiling the de-
but of Mountaineer coach Bob
Zaruta.
I thought for
a first start he
played tremen-
dous, Valley
West coach Pat
Keating said.
He ran the ball
extremely tough, which I knew
he could do. And he didnt make
any crucial mistakes that cost
us.
Lewis thrilled the Wyoming
Valley Conference as a runner
and thrower, parlaying his in-
credible athletic ability into a
football scholarship at Penn
State.
Baur, though, showed both as-
pects.
He completed 8-of-12 passes
for154 yards. He rushed21times
for 91 more.
Valley West snapped a score-
less tie on a 5-yard run by Baur at
9:49 of the second quarter.
It also gave Baur a boost of
confidence.
Id say after my first touch-
down run where we did the
fake, Baur said, and see the
whole crowd going crazy and

GETTYSBURG Football be-
came a reality for a fledgling Mi-
sericordia program on Saturday.
Unfortunately, the scoreboard
showed nothing but a harsh real-
ity, as Gettysburg scored early
and often in a 70-0 rout of the
Cougars at Musselman Stadium.
Yeah, 70-0 ...
it hurts, Cou-
gars quarter-
back Jeffrey
Puckett said.
But we did just
make history.
And we did give
it everything
weve got. We played our hearts
out til the end.
The first play in Misericordia
history went for a touchdown, as
Freddy Caruso caught the kick
fromthe Cougars Steve Clemson
and was returned 89 yards for a
score. Just 15 seconds into its his-
tory, Misericordia was down 8-0.
It certainly wasnt the way we
wanted to start an era, Cougars
coach Mark Ross said. We want-
ed to perform better than we
did.

STATECOLLEGE-- Bill OBriensaidlittle.
Eightfull monthsof beingthrustintothespot-
light meant he had to spend most of his time
talking, talking, talking.
After finally getting to return to
the sideline and coach a live game
on Saturday, Penn States newboss
wasnt eager to start the conversa-
tionbackup.
But what he did say stung more
than any part of the Nittany Lions
demoralizing24-14loss toOhio.
They beat us, OBrien said.
Theywere the better team.
It wasthetruth. Theup-and-com-
ing teamfromthe MAC was better
than the humbled Lions on Satur-
day, takingover thegameinthesec-
ondhalf.
Theenthusiasticstart fromaspir-
itedpregameatmosphereanda14-3
halftime lead quickly evaporated as
the Bobcats took control on both
sides of the ball after the break.
It was Penn States first loss in a
season opener since 2001 against
Miami. ItwastheLions firstlosstoa
MAC opponent since Toledo in
2000.
And it left OBrien -- largely up-
beat through a miserable offseason
bogged down by fallout from scan-
dal andsanctions-- inarottenmood.
Ive gotta coach a lot better,
OBriensaidrepeatedly. Wehaveto
coachbetter, andit starts withme.
His players were quick to defend
him.
Quarterback Matt McGloin, the
centerpiece of OBriens new of-
fense, disagreed that the blame lay with the
newcoachingstaff.
Not at all. He did a great job today,
McGloinsaidof OBrien. Its onus (players),
definitely. We couldnt make the plays when
we neededto.

PENN STATE
By DEREK LEVARSE

They came trudg-
ing into Beaver Stadi-
um like they were
heading to weekly
mass, a lot of un-
smiling people giving
the impression they
showed up mainly
because it was an obligation to them,
not because they felt a sense of fulfill-
ment.
Heaven help the 97,000 Penn State
fans if they were expecting any kind
of redemption out of Saturdays sea-
son opener.
Because all it brought to Penn State
was a greater sense of gloom.
The Nittany Lions lost a season
opener for the first time in 11 years,
back when a Miami team ranked No.
2 in the nation came in to start the
2001 season and thumped Joe Pa-
ternos Nittany Lions, 33-7.
Whether or not you are still a Pa-
terno worshiper like former Penn
State great Franco Harris - who
brought a lifesize cardboard replica of
Paterno to Saturdays game and
propped it up in his luxury box - what
happened on this opening day felt a
lot worse.
This wasnt a team commanding
national attention, coming to town
and taking it to Penn State.
This was Ohio.
Not Ohio State.
Little-known Ohio.
Theres no good feeling with what happened Saturday

Russ Canzler, a graduate from

day that he was getting called up
to the Major Leagues for Cleve-
land.
He was immediately inserted
into the Indians lineup and bat-
ted fifth as the designated hitter
in Saturday nights starting nine
against Texas and went 2-for-4
with a pair of singles to help the
Indians defeat the Rangers 4-3.
Canzler singled in his first two
plate appearances of the season
and struck out his third time be-

Yanks rally past Os
ATLANTA Cliff Lee took
advantage of some rare run
support, throwing seven score-
less innings to lead the Phila-
delphia Phillies past the slump-
ing Atlanta Braves 5-1 on Sat-
urday.
Jimmy Rollins hit his 16th
homer for the Phillies, who got
off to a good September start
after a strong August. The wild
card-leading Braves are head-
ing in the opposite direction
with three straight losses and
only four wins in their past 14
games, rekindling memories of
their historic collapse last
season.
Lee (4-7) came in with a
record that was hardly indica-
tive of the way hes pitched
this season. The Phillies had
been held to three runs or
fewer in 14 of his 23 starts.
The Phillies knocked out
Tim Hudson (13-5) and blew
the game open with two runs
in the sixth.
Giants 5, Cubs 2
CHICAGO Tim Lincecum
pitched four-hit ball into the
seventh inning and Xavier
Nady had a three-run double in
his first game of the season,
helping the NL West-leading
San Francisco Giants beat the
Chicago Cubs.
Lincecum (8-14) allowed two
runs on David DeJesus sev-
enth homer and struck out
seven over 6 1-3 innings in a
solid effort on a breezy day at
Wrigley Field.
Nady, promoted from Tri-
ple-A Fresno when major
league rosters expanded Sat-
urday, hit a bases-loaded
smash past third and into the
left-field corner to give San
Francisco a 4-0 lead in the first.
Cardinals 10, Nationals 9
WASHINGTON David
Freese homered, drove in three
runs and had a go-ahead single
in the ninth inning Saturday as
the St. Louis Cardinals ended a
four-game skid with a wild win
over the Washington Nation-
als.
Matt Holliday also homered
and Matt Carpenter smacked a
three-run double for the Cardi-
nals, who had scored only one
run during their four losses
while allowing 32. Freese, John
Jay and Allen Craig each had
three of the Cardinals 14 hits.
The NL East-leading Nation-
als led 6-2 in the second inning
and, after falling behind by two
runs in the fourth, rallied for
three in the sixth to take a 9-8
lead. Adam LaRoche and Dan-
ny Espinosa each homered for
Washington.
Brewers 3, Pirates 2
MILWAUKEE Corey Hart
homered to lead off the ninth
inning and lift the Milwaukee
Brewers to a win over the
Pittsburgh Pirates.
The win was the Brewers
second straight over the Pi-
rates and the teams 10th win
in its last 12 games. The Pi-
rates lost for the ninth time in
the last 12 games as Pittburgh
continues to try to stay in the
National League Wild Card
playoff race.
Leading off the ninth inning,
Hart hit the second pitch he
saw from Pirates closer Joel
Hanrahan (4-1) for his 26th
home run of the season into
the Brewers bullpen in left
field. It was his third career
game-ending home run.

STANDINGS/STATS
The 26-year-old Canzler spent
the entire season playing for Tri-
ple-A Columbus batting .265
with22homeruns, 79RBI and36
doubles. Canzler, who can play
corner outfieldandfirst andthird
base, led the Clippers in homers,
doubles and RBI and currently
leads the I.L. in doubles, while
being third in the league in total
bases with 237 and RBI. Hes also
sixth in the league in longballs.
The Indians started off the sea-
sonas a surprise contender inthe
American League Central, but
havefallenonhardtimes recently
and entered Saturday in fourth
place in the division, 17.5 games
behind division leader Chicago
after just ending a 5-24 month in
August.
Cleveland has also started a bit
of a rebuilding process and Can-
zler appears to be a key piece in
that system.
Its the second time in as many
seasons that Canzler is a Septem-
ber call-up. Last year, he was pro-
moted by the Tamps Bay Rays
and picked up his first Major
League hit and RBI in three at-
bats after being named the Inter-
national League Most Valuable
Player for Durham. Hes expect-
ed to see more playing time for
the Indians.
Montrose grad Rich Thomp-
son also learned on Saturday that
he was getting a call-up and will
report to Tampa Bay today.
Thompson, who started the sea-
son in the Philadelphia organiza-
tion before getting traded to the
Rays, batted .311 with two home
runs, 19 RBI and 22 stolen bases
for the Bulls this season.

PAWTUCKET, R.I. The
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees
finally found an opponent for the
Governors Cup semifinals. And
its a familiar one at that in the
Pawtucket Red Sox.
Nelson Figueroa hurled eight
solid innings for Pawtucket
against his former teammates in
a 2-0 win Saturday night at
McCoy Stadium, forwarding the
home team into the postseason
The PawSox, who came into
the game needing a win or a Le-
high Valley loss, clinched the
wild card slot with the victory.
Pawtucket will host the open-
ing two games of the series on
Wednesday and Thursday nights
before the action heads to Fron-
tier Field in Rochester on Friday
for game three. If required,
games 4 and 5 will be played on
Saturday (7:05 p.m.) and Sunday
(6:05) at Frontier.
Providing the semifinals go the
distance, the two Northern Divi-
sion rivals will have met nine
times in10days. Pawtucket holds
an 8-6 advantage thus far in the
season series.
The PawSox received a pair of
solo home runs fromcatcher Dan
Butler in securing the second
game of a season- closing four-
game set.
Figueroa, who the Sox ac-
quired on July 24 from SWB, al-
lowed four hits, struck out six
and issued a lone free pass in up-
ping his slate to 12-5 overall and
5-3 with Pawtucket.
He was tough on us tonight,
said SWBmanager Dave Miley of
the 38-year-old Figueroa.
Before the two clubs ramp up
the action in the second season
there is a matter of completing
the regular campaign.

DUBLIN Notre Dames trip
to Ireland could not have gone
much better.
The Fighting Irish eased in
their new quarterback, showed
they have a couple of capable
replacements for their suspend-
ed star running back and even
got a touchdown from a 300-
pound defensive lineman.
Theo Riddick and George
Atkinson both ran for two
scores and defensive end Ste-
phon Tuitt returned a fumble 77
yards for another TD as Notre
Dame routed Navy 50-10 in
Saturdays season opener in
Ireland.
A crowd of 49,000, mostly
visiting Americans, filled Du-
blins Aviva Stadium for the first
U.S. college game in Ireland
since 1996, when the same two
teams played in the Emerald
Isle Classic.
It was no classic, regardless of
the enthusiasm of the fans, who
did the wave even as both sides
sent in substitutes in fourth-
quarter garbage time.
The Fighting Irish dominated
the game, running the ball at
will against Navys undersized
defense and showing no signs of
missing starter Cierre Wood.
Riddick gained 107 yards on 19
carries, Atkinson 99 on just nine
carries, leaving the Midshipmen
and their outnumbered fans
crestfallen at the end.
Riddick started the Irish
blowout with an 11-yard run to
cap an 11-play, nearly six-minute
opening drive. Atkinson broke
free on the next drive, sweeping
right and then cutting back and
rampaging untouched through a
bevy of Midshipmen for a 56-
yard score.
Wood will also miss next
weeks game against Purdue
because of a violation of team
rules.
Quarterback Everett Golson,
making his first start, put the
Fighting Irish up 20-0 with a
5-yard end zone jump ball to
tight end Tyler Eifert, who beat
two smaller Navy defenders.
I think I was comfortable,
said Golson, who won the start-
ing job in a four-way competi-
tion. He spent his freshman year
as the scout team QB, and cred-
ited coaches with easing his
nerves by giving him permission
to make mistakes.
Golson said his coaches told
him: Youre going to make
mistakes but you just have to
relax. Youre going to make
mistakes, but make them going
full speed.
Last years starter Tommy
Rees returns from suspension
this week, and Brian Kelly was
noncommittal about Golsons
hold on the job. Still, the coach
has said all along hed like one
quarterback to seize the job, and
Golson gave little reason for
Kelly to worry.
Kelly said he was pleased
with Golsons performance.
I was. He made some good
decisions and moved our of-
fense. We put 50 points on the
board, so thats a pretty good
start.
Golson, who finished 12 of 18
for 144 yards, often looked best
on the move. But he did make
one second-quarter mistake that
gave Navy brief momentum
when he tried to hit Eifert for a
second TD and threw the ball
without any touch into double
coverage. Cornerback Parrish
Gaines stepped in front of the
pass at the Navy 4 for an easy
interception.
Navy appeared to be heading
for its first touchdown on the
ensuing drive, but backside
pressure from Notre Dame de-
fensive end Kapron Lewis-
Moore spurred a clumsy fumble
from Navy quarterback Trey
Miller.
Tuitt, listed at 6 foot 6 and
302 pounds, scooped up the ball
and rumbled untouched 77
yards to put the Irish up 27-0
with barely 2 minutes left in the
first half. It was Notre Dames
longest fumble return since
1985 and third-longest in histo-
ry.
Navy managed a 26-yard field
goal before halftime and opened
the second half with a nifty
three-pass drive capped by
Shawn Lynchs 25-yard grab to
make it 27-10 but could get no
closer.
Georgia 45, Buffalo 23
ATHENS, Ga. Freshman
Todd Gurley ran for three touch-
downs, Aaron Murray threw
three scoring passes and Ge-
orgia overcame a sloppy first
half.
Gurley didnt start but may
have emerged as the Bulldogs
future at tailback with his eight
carries for 100 yards, including
scoring runs of 10 and 55 yards.
He added a 100-yard kickoff
return for a touchdown in the
first quarter.
Georgia, favored by 37
1
2
points, led only 24-16 at halftime
before pulling away in the sea-
son opener for both teams.
Branden Oliver, coming off
his school-record 1,395 yards
rushing in 2011, had 30 carries
for 111 yards and a 2-yard touch-
down run for the Bulls.
West Virginia 69, Marshall 34
MORGANTOWN, W.Va.
Geno Smith threw for 323 yards
and four touchdowns to lead the
Mountaineers past Marshall.
In the final scheduled game
between the states only Bowl
Subdivision teams, it marked
West Virginias highest-scoring
season opener in school history.
Smith kept the momentum
going from his six-TD perform-
ance from the Orange Bowl.
USC 49, Hawaii 10
LOS ANGELES Marqise
Lee caught a 75-yard touchdown
pass on the first play from
scrimmage and returned a kick-
off 100 yards for a score, and No.
1 Southern California rolled to a
victory over Hawaii.
Matt Barkley kicked off his
Heisman Trophy campaign with
377 yards passing and four
touchdowns, and Lee caught 10
passes for 197 yards for the
Trojans (1-0), whose offensive
stars were every bit as impres-
sive as expected in their first
game since their two-year
NCAA bowl ban ended.
Silas Redd rushed for 57 yards
and a touchdown on a team-
leading nine carries in the Penn
State transfers debut at USC,
which led 35-0 at halftime and
coasted to its 15th consecutive
season-opening victory.
Robert Woods caught six
passes for 42 yards and two
TDs, and tight end Xavier Grim-
ble caught Barkleys final scor-
ing throw in the fourth quarter.
Texas 37, Wyoming 17
AUSTIN, Texas Joe Berge-
ron and Malcolm Brown both
rushed for more than 100 yards
and combined for three touch-
downs, leading No. 15 Texas to
a win over Wyoming.
Texas quarterback David Ash,
who won the starting job over
Case McCoy in training camp,
was an efficient 20-of-27 passing
for 156 yards and a touchdown
to Jaxon Shipley.
Bergeron had 110 yards and
scored Texas first touchdown
on a 1-yard run in first quarter.
He put the game away with a
17-yard TD in the fourth. Brown
ran for 105 yards for Texas (1-0).
Florida 27, Bowling Green 14
GAINESVILLE, Fla. Mike
Gillislee had a career-high 148
yards rushing and two touch-
downs, helping Florida beat
Bowling Green.
The performance was far from
perfect for the Gators, who
struggled part of the game on
offense and failed to generate
much pressure on defense. Still,
it was enough for Florida to win
its 23rd consecutive opener. The
streak is the second longest in
the nation behind Nebraska
(27).

State of the Football Champion-

Chrysts debut as Pittsburghs
coach in a 31-17 upset on Sat-
urday night in the season open-
er for both schools.
Andre Stubbs ran for 71 yards
and a score, and also added 61
yards receiving and another
touchdown as the Penguins beat
a Football Bowl Subdivision
team for the first time in 12
years. It was the teams first win
over Bowl Championship Series
opponent in history.
This wasnt a last-second
stunner. The Penguins never
trailed, controlling the ball and
the tempo with a spread offense
that kept the Panthers off bal-
ance during a soggy night at
Heinz Field.
Clemson 26, Auburn 19
ATLANTA Andre Elling-
ton rushed for 231 yards,
DeAndre Hopkins set a school
record with 13 receptions and
No. 14 Clemson opened the
season with victory over Au-
burn.
Playing before a 50-50 crowd
at the Georgia Dome basical-
ly halfway between the two
campuses Clemson shook off
any hangover from last seasons
embarrassing 70-33 loss to West
Virginia in the Orange Bowl and
showed plenty of offense against
Auburn (0-1) even without star
receiver Sammy Watkins, who
was suspended for the first two
games after an offseason drug
arrest.
Arkansas 49,

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP)

Wisconsins defense didnt

the 4:27 mark in the third

ing 26-7 in the fourth quarter,

B I G T E N
R O U N D U P
STATE COLLEGE A tip of a
pass and an unlikely deflection
was all it needed to stymie the
Penn State defense and pull all of
the Nittany Lions momentum in
the favor of Ohio.
Leading 14-3 on the first drive
of the second half, Penn States
fortunes turned on a third-and-
long play. Safety Stephen Obeng-
Agyapong was unable to pull in a
possible interception that fortui-
tously landed in Ohios Landon
Smiths hands on the first drive of
the second half. Smith, with no
blue jerseys behind him, eased
his way for a 40-yard touchdown,
putting the Bobcats within arms
reach of the Nittany Lions.
The fluke play both reinvigor-
ated the Bobcat offense and cut
the defenses spark, and Ohio
scored 21 unanswered points in
the second half for a 24-14 victory
over the Nittany Lions.
That was a big play in the
game, sophomore cornerback
Adrian Amos said. It did switch
the momentum a lot. Was that a
third down? It was a third down.
If we make that stop, make that
pick, were probably in here with
different looks on our faces.
Coach Bill OBrien blamed not
only himself but the offenses in-
ability to produce in the second
half. The Nittany Lion offense
garnered 115 yards (2.69 average
yards per play) and netted seven
first downs less than half of its
first half production.
Again, I think offensively, we
need to do a better job of sustain-
ing drives to keep the defense off
the field, he said.
The Nittany Lions, specifically
their secondary, didnt play par-
ticularly poorly but struggled to
stop Ohio quarterback Tyler Tet-
tleton late in the game. Tettleton
completed16-of-19 passes for 217
yards in the half.
I dont think (Tettletonplayed
better in the second half), Amos
said. We gelled in the first, and
then things just broke down.
Penn State defenders refuted
any claims that fatigue or a lack
of conditioning was a factor in
the late stages of the game.
I mean, personally myself, I
wasnt that tired, sophomore de-
fensive end Deion Barnes said. I
dont think people were gassed.
They had a good strategy against
us. It was a good game plan.
I dont think conditioning was
a problem. They had a better
strategy, and they beat us down.
Through the first two quarters,
the Nittany Lions performedwell
on defense. Ohios only points
came on a fumble recovery that
placed the ball at the Penn State
13. The Nittany Lions forced a
three-and-out that yielded a Matt
Weller field goal.
Penn State did not force any
turnovers throughout the game.
Junior safety Malcolm Willis
said the defense has to come
back and respond to adversity.
We dont have to get down be-
cause they scored a touchdown,
he continued. Offenses score
touchdowns; thats what theyre
supposed to do. As a defense, we
need to make sure we move on to
the next series.
To make matters worse, Ste-
phon Morris, one of the most
promising athletes in the second-
ary, left the game with an undis-
closed injury in the middle of the
third quarter. OBrien would not
comment on the injury in his
post-game press conference.
Stopping third-down conver-
sions posed a problem for defen-
sive coordinator TedRoof. Tettle-
tonandtheBobcats converted11-
of-12 (91.6 percent) third-down
opportunities.
They made more plays than
we did, Morris said. We just
(have to) make more plays and
stay more open, more plays on
the ball. The defense will come
out Monday and emphasize mak-
ing plays on the ball.
The Bobcats put the game
away when Tettleton found
Donte Foster on a fade pattern
that put them up 24-14 with 2:55
remaining in the fourth quarter.
Tettletons quick three-step
drop proved difficult for the de-
fensive line. Barnes regretted not
knocking down the touchdown
throw.
I shouldhavegottenmyhands
up quicker, Barnes said. I
should have gotten to the passer
quicker. So I blame that on my-
self.
Unlucky play changed momentum to Bobcats
By JAY MONAHAN
For The Times Leader
OHI O 24, PENN STATE 1 4
STATE COLLEGE Nyeem
Wartman shredded through
the blockers like he had so
often last year at Valley View.
This was different.
This was in front of 96,000
fans. This was his first colle-
giate game. And Wartman
made the most of it.
Shredding any doubts that
he would redshirt in his true
freshman year, Wartman came
through with one of the big-
gest plays of the game for the
Lions in a losing effort.
His first appearance had
come earlier in the second
quarter, spelling starting mid-
dle linebacker Glenn Carson.
He returned on fourth down,
crashing through Ohios punt
protectors and pouncing quick-
ly on Bobcats punter Grant
Venham. Wartman deflected
the kick straight up in the air,
with Jesse Della Valle falling
on the loose ball at the Ohio
18-yard line.
Three plays later another
Lackawanna League alum in
Matt McGloin hit walk-on
tight end Matt Lehman for a
14-yard touchdown.
I feel like I have a lot to
prove, Wartman said follow-
ing his performance in the Big
33 all-star game in June, a
week before arriving at Penn
State. I can show that I can
make a difference. Wartman
was not available for inter-
views after the game, per Penn
States policy on true fresh-
men. The former Cougars star
was one of four rookies to play
for the Lions in the opener,
joining cornerback DaQuan
Davis, tight end Jesse James
and wide receiver Trevor Wil-
liams. Former Wyoming Valley
West and Meyers star Eugene
Lewis did not play. Lions
coach Bill OBrien said this
week that Penn State would
try to redshirt Lewis this sea-
son.
Infirmary report
Three key starters missed
extended periods of time be-
cause of lower-body injuries.
Cornerback Stephon Morris
and tailback Bill Belton did
not return after both suffering
sprained ankles in the second
half.
Linebacker Gerald Hodges
missed a few drives in the
second half with a knee contu-
sion before returning in the
fourth quarter.
OBrien had no updates on
any of them looking ahead to
next weeks game at Virginia.
I dont know anything
about it at this time, OBrien
said. I dont have anything to
report. Ill be able to tell better
on Monday.
Surprise returns
OBrien had said little about
his return game throughout
preseason camp. Saturday
revealed why.
Penn State had been experi-
menting with using Hodges to
return both punts and kicks in
August, keeping it under
wraps and surprising most of
Beaver Stadium.
It didnt work out well.
Hodges fielded one kickoff
and two punts for 11 net yards.
On his last attempt, he bob-
bled a punt deep in his own
territory. Ohio recovered and
kicked a field goal for its only
points of the first half.
He had a lot of time back
there (in the summer),
OBrien said. Hes an excel-
lent player. We gave him a lot
of work back there. We have
four or five guys that did a lot
of work back there. We chose
to go with two or three guys
today. Thats what we chose to
do.
After the fumble, the return
duties were handled by Adrian
Amos, Belton and Alex Ken-
ney.
There in spirit?
Penn State held a moment
of reflection before the game,
asking fans for silence to con-
sider all victims of child sexual
abuse and those who have
endured suffering and loss. It
was also the closest the school
came to acknowledging Joe
Paterno, the late Lions coach
whose likeness has disap-
peared from around campus
since July. Paternos wife Sue
and son Jay were among the
family members who were in
attendance.
Players said they were not
disappointed that a tribute to
their former coach was not
part of the pregame ceremo-
nies.
No, not at all, McGloin
said. We had a lot of great
times here with coach Paterno.
We have coach OBrien now,
and hes doing a tremendous,
tremendous job. Unfortunately
we couldnt get the win for
him.
But Paterno did appear in at
least one form on Saturday.
In one of the stadiums
suites -- right underneath the
large 1986 representing the
Lions last national title season
-- stood a cardboard cutout of
Paterno in the front row.
Perhaps not coincidentally,
former Penn State great Fran-
co Harris was two seats down.
Harris has been one of Pa-
ternos biggest supporters
since the coach was fired back
in November.
Midway through the game, a
sign was attached to the cut-
out.

FIRST QUARTER
PSU -- Bill Belton 6-yard pass from Matt
McGloin (Sam Ficken kick), 0:03. Drive: 10
plays, 80 yards, 3:17. Comment: Bill OBriens
offense holds true to its promise and throws a
little bit of everything at the Bobcats in the first
quarter. Some I-form. Three-wide. Two-tight
end. Three-tight end. On this drive, theres
even some no-huddle. McGloin looks comfort-
able throughout and does a nice job on third-
and-goal to check down to his tailback for the
first touchdown of the OBrien era. PENN
STATE 7, OHIO 0.
SECOND QUARTER
OU -- Matt Weller 22-yard field goal, 10:22.
Drive: 4 plays, 8 yards, 1:21. Comment: A new
wrinkle that doesnt work out for the Lions is
the decision to experiment with linebacker
Gerald Hodges on the return teams. As in, ac-
tually returning kicks. His third attempt at it on
a punt is muffed and Ohio pounces on the
loose ball at the Lions 13. But the defense
holds, pressuring Bobcats QB Tyler Tettleton
into throwing it away on third down. PSU 7, OU
3.
PSU -- Matt Lehman 14-yard pass from
McGloin (Ficken kick), 1:29. Drive: 3 plays, 18
yards, 0:55. Comment: Talk about a debut.
Nyeem Wartman, who was playing for Valley
View at this time last year, busts through the
Ohio protection team and blocks a Grant Ven-
ham punt attempt. The true freshman had also
appeared at middle linebacker earlier on the
drive. Jesse Della Valle recovers at the Ohio
18. That sets up another Lackawanna League
alum, McGloin, who finds Lehman open out of
a bunch formation for his second passing
score of the half. PSU 14, OU 3.
THIRD QUARTER
OU -- Landon Smith 43-yard pass from Tyler
Tettleton (Weller kick), 10:40. Drive: 12 plays,
82 yards, 4:15. Comment: Tough break for the
Lions as a poor pass by Tettleton ends up go-
ing all the way for a score. After bobbling a
shotgun snap, Tettleton was out of rhythm and
running to his right when he launched an ill-
advised pass over the middle. Safety Stephen
Obeng-Agyapong is there to jump for the in-
terception, but the ball clangs off of his hands
and deflects right to Ohios Smith, who has
nothing but green in front of him for the touch-
down. PSU 14, OU 10.OU -- Tettleton 1-yard
run (Weller kick), 3:49. Drive: 8 plays, 70
yards, 2:49. Comment: The Lions falter on
fourth-and-5 from the Bobcats 30 as McGloin
cant connect with Allen Robinson deep down
the right sideline. The momentum is clearly
with the Bobcats, as Tettleton gets into a
groove. The junior drops a perfect throw right
on the hands of Ryan Clark over top of Ste-
phon Morris for a gain of 33. The Bobcats work
it down to the goal line soon after and Tettleton
leaps into the pile, just getting the ball over for
the score and the Bobcats first lead of the
game. OU 17, PSU 14.
FOURTH QUARTER
OU -- Donte Foster 5-yard pass from Tettleton
(Weller kick), 2:55. Drive: 14 plays, 93 yards,
6:42. Comment: Ohio turns the tables on time
of possession in the second half, and the Li-
ons defense, thought to be a strength be-
cause of the front seven, couldnt keep up. A
punt pineed the Bobcats back to their own
7-yard line, but they proceeded to convert ev-
ery third down they faced, including a third-
and-goal from the 5 in which Tettleton hit Fos-
ter right at the left boundary of the end zone to
put an end to the Lions hopes. OU 24, PSU14.

Colonels defensegot off toagreat
start in 2012 allowing just seven
and 225 total yards and adding a
key interception in a 9-7 victory
over Morrisville State.
The Colonels (1-0) netted the

The Mustangs (0-1) had plenty
of time to march down field and
win the game. But on Morris-
villes first play from scrimmage,
Paul Gaffney intercepted a Jory
Tanner pass. Wilkes got the ball
back with 1:16 to go and ran out
the clock to secure its first sea-
son-opening win since 2010.
Fredo also added field goals of
29 and 27 yards as Wilkes scored

Defense does trick
in Colonels opener
The Times Leader staff
WAYNE, N.J. Kings out-
played William Paterson in near-
ly every aspect on Saturdays sea-
son opener.
The Monarchs posted more
rushing yards, total yards and
first downs then the Pioneers,
but they still fell short dropping a
heart-breaking 9-3 victory when
the Pioneers struck on a 26-yard
touchdown pass with just 8 sec-
onds remaining in the game.
Kings evened the game at 3-3
with 5:19 left in the third quarter
on a 20-yard field goal by Lance
Williams after getting a first-and-
goal on the Pioneers 6-yard line
beforestallingonthe4. TheMon-
archs put together another long
drive in the fourth quarter with
the game tied at 3-3. They put to-
gether a12-play, 7 minute, 43 sec-
ond drive, but only moved 26
yards. A15-yardunsportsmanlike
conduct penalty negated a 12-
yard run by quarterback Bryant
Klein. The drive only moved the
ball to the Kings 46 before the
Monarchs had to punt.
Kings got a stellar rushing ef-
fort from Kyle McGrath, who
pickedup108 yards on27 carries.
Klein rushed for 17 yards and
passed for 43 yards going 5-of-8.
Tyler Hartranft also saw time at
quarterback and was 7-of-16 for
96 yards with an interception.
Jake Ksiazwewicz helped the
Monarchs defense with two
sacks and six tackles.

Monarchs opener ends
in heartbreaking loss
The Times Leader staff
countable, guard John Urschel
said.
Just two hours earlier, OBrien
was smilingthroughahalftimeTV
interviewas he came off the field.
Hisoffensewasrunningsmooth-
ly as McGloin threw touchdowns
totailbackBill Beltonandtightend
Matt Lehman.
His defense held an up-tempo
Ohio offense to just a field goal.
His special teams, thanks to Val-
ley Views Nyeem Wartman, even
blocked a punt.
It was precisely the start the Li-
ons (0-1) were looking for in their
first season that opened without
JoePaternoonthesidelineinsome
capacity since1949.
And then...
I think the (offensive line) was
able to take control of the game. I
think we wore them down a little
bit, Ohios veteran coach, Frank
Solich, said. I thinkour pace may-
be did take a toll (on Penn State)
and helped us in the game.
Indeed, it was the Bobcats (1-0)
who looked like the team from a
major conference, controlling the
lineof scrimmageanddrainingthe
life out of the Lions.
Sparked by a fluky pass that
bounced out of the hands of safety
Stephen Obeng-Agyapong and
right toOhios LandonMoorefor a
43-yard touchdown, Ohio quickly
rallied.
A14-10deficit thenturnedintoa
17-14 leadwhenBobcats star Tyler
Tettleton scored on a QB sneak at
the goal line on his next drive.
Tettleton proceeded to drive his
team93yardson12playslateinthe
fourth quarter to put Penn State
away, capping it off with a 5-yard
touchdown pass.
The Bobcats faced 12 third-
down plays in the second half.
They converted11of them.
Im very disappointed in that,
senior defensive tackle JordanHill
said. Youwont seethat (again)all
season. Ill tell you that now. No
otherteamwill dothattousagain.
On offense, McGloin finished
with career highs in completions
(27) and attempts (48), throwing
for260yardsandtwoscores. Soph-
omore receiver AllenRobinson, af-
ter catching just three passes all of
last season, hauled in nine for 97
yards Saturday.
But while McGloinwas success-
ful runningtheup-tempooffensein
the first 30 minutes, things dried
up in the final 30.
They started bringing some
more heat, playing some different
coverages, McGloin said. But
nothing we werent ready for. We
were prepared for everything that
they showed us. We just didnt get
the job done.
Penn State reached the Ohio 30
in the third quarter with a chance
to build on a 14-10 lead. But a
fourth-and-5passintendedforRob-
inson was overthrown.
Ohio took the ball from there,
scored and never relinquished the
lead.
We didnt win the game, and it
comes down to me being the head
football coach, OBrien said. I
havetogetthisteamreadytoplay. I
told them in the locker room its a
long season. This is one game. We
have to learn from our mistakes.
We can still be a good football
team.
I toldthemthenumber onepri-
ority is Im going to come to work
tomorrow and do a better job for
them.
FLOP
Continued fromPage 1C
"We lost to the better team
today," new Nittany Lions
coach Bill OBrien said.
Sadly for Penn State, hes
right.
The Bobcats outhit, out-
hustled and outplayed Penn
State, especially in the second
half when they rallied from an
11-point halftime deficit to a
convincing 24-14 victory.
"This one game doesnt make
or break our season," Nittany
Lions guard John Urschel said.
"Its a long season."
Its going to be a long road
back if this is what the Nittany
Lions are looking at.
The offense managed just
two touchdowns, and wouldnt
have made it to the end zone a
second time against Ohio if
Nyeem Wartman, a special
freshman out of Valley View
High School, didnt block a
punt to give Penn State the ball
18 yards from the end zone.
The end result from the Penn
State defense was embarrass-
ing.
The Lions watched Ohio
quarterback Kyle Tettleton -
whose father Mickey was
known for eating Fruit Loops
when he was a catcher for the
Baltimore Orioles - make Penn
States defense look loopy while
passing for 324 yards, leading
four scoring drives and two
others that resulted in blown
field goals.
But it was the Lions who
really blew it.
They had a 14-3 lead at half-
time and had a chance to really
give themselves and their fans
some hope this season, after
the Jerry Sandusky scandal
spurred severe NCAA sanctions
and a coaching change since
November.
How hopeless does this sea-
son seem now if Penn State
couldnt even beat Ohio?
"We all have that sting," said
Penn State wide receiver Allen
Robinson, who led the Lions
with nine catches for 97 yards.
Itd be easy to believe the
Lions had too much to over-
come.
Paterno was fired near the
end of last season, died of lung
cancer during the winter and
was then accused of helping the
university cover up the horrible
crimes the teams former defen-
sive coordinator Sandusky was
convicted of committing
against children for more than a
decade.
It led to an NCAA ban on
bowl games for Penn State,
along with the reduction of
scholarships, the loss of a few
key players who were allowed
to transfer without penalty and
the Big Ten made the Lions
ineligible to compete for a
conference championship over
the next four years. But that
shouldnt stop the Lions from
trying to play like champions.
And while Tettleton was
making the second half seem
like pregame warm-ups to him,
Lions fifth-year linebacker Mi-
chael Mauti noticed the dropoff
in Penn States play.
He gathered his teammates,
according to defensive end
Deion Barnes, and implored,
"This is not us!"
Maybe this really is the Lions
team were going to have to live
with for the foreseeable future.
"Things really werent going
our way," said Penn State quar-
terback Matt McGloin, from
West Scranton High School.
"What are you going to do? You
have to respond.
"We didnt get the job done."
The job seemed simple
enough against an Ohio team
that won the MAC and then
something called the Famous
Idaho Potato Bowl last season,
but would likely get bowled
over playing in the Big Ten.
The matchup was supposed
to play right into the hands of
the Nittany Lions, who were
looking to turn the page on the
Paterno saga and past scandals.
Instead, they turned their sea-
son opener into more con-
sternation.
This was no way to keep the
teams fan base religiously com-
ing back. They fulfilled what
they believed was their duty to
show up, but like a typical Sun-
day service, a lot of them didnt
bother to stick around to the
end.

Comets deal Dallas rare loss in boys soccer
The Times Leader Staff
NEW YORK Serena Wil-
liams does not enjoyviewingvid-
eos of her losses. Not one bit.
She usedto engage inthat sort
of film work, Williams said, but
it was sopainful; it was likestab-
bing myself.
So even though Williams
knew her third-round opponent
at the U.S. Open would be the
same woman she lost to at the
Australian Open, preparing by
studying a replay of that January
defeat simply was out of the
question.
Did not seem to matter at all.
After splitting Saturdays first
eight games against 42nd-ranked
Ekaterina Makarova of Russia,
the fourth-seeded Williams got
into high gear and breezed to a
6-4, 6-0 victory, reeling off the
last eight games in a row.
Definitely was motivated.
Knowing that I lost; could defi-
nitely happen again. Did not
want that to happen, said Wil-
liams, whohit13aces toraiseher
tour-leading total this season to
408.
I really hate watching match-
es that I lose, unless Im puni-
shing myself, added the14-time
Grand Slam champion. I didnt
punish myself.
The woman Williams beat in
the Wimbledon final, second-
seeded Agnieszka Radwanska,
dealt with the 90-degree heat
andformer No. 1Jelena Jankovic
with equal aplomb during a 6-3,
7-5 victory.
I was feeling like I was melt-
ing there, Radwanska said. I
survived the match.
She wasnt the only one who
felt that way.
Olympic championAndy Mur-
ray, still seeking his first Grand
Slam title after four losses in fi-
nals, eked out a 7-6 (5), 7-6 (5),
4-6, 7-6 (4) victory over No. 30
Feliciano Lopez, who led in each
of the three tiebreakers before
faltering.
Could have gone either way,
Murray acknowledged. It was
veryhot andhumidinthemiddle
part of the match. I was strug-
gling a bit with that.
Themanhebeat for thegoldat
the Summer Games, and lost to
in the Wimbledon title match,
Roger Federer, is also Murrays
potential semifinal opponent in
NewYork. Federer, as is oftenthe
case, barely was bothered Satur-
day while dismissing No. 25 Fer-
nando Verdasco 6-3, 6-4, 6-4.
Five of Federers record 17
Grand Slamtitles came at Flush-
ing Meadows, andhes sure look-
ing capable of adding to those
numbers.
Federer also was pretty good
at the net, winning 26 of the 27
points when he moved forward.
He next will take on the winner
of Saturday nights match be-
tween No. 16 Gilles Simon and
No. 23 Mardy Fish. Murray gets
No. 15 Milos Raonic, who hit his
29th ace of the day, and 89th of

American wild-card entry James
Blake.

Dallas Defense Anchored
by senior Brian Stepniak and
junior Brandon Scharff, who
were starters last year on a unit
that allowed just nine goals in
the regular season, the Moun-
taineers defense should be
stingy as usual. This duo also
helped on offense last year with
Stepniak registering eight
points and Scharff netting 14.
Alex Machalick, senior,
Crestwood He finished fourth
in Division I with 34 points in
2011, consisting of 15 goals and
four assists.
Jordan Consagra, junior,
Pittston Area The Patriot tied
for the Division II lead with 30
goals, 12 assists and 72 points
in 2011.
Kenny Kocher, senior, Lake-
Lehman A stellar defender
and one of the top in the league
last year, he helped the unit,
which only allowed 23 goals,
the third-fewest in the entire
WVC.

wick; Pat Malone, senior,

Cal Lisman, junior, Meyers;
Ryan Wisnewski, senior, Wyom-
ing Valley West; Eric Whited,
senior, Wyoming Valley West
Around Division I
With nine returning starters
back from last years team,
Dallas should be the top choice.
But the team also has a target
on its back now and teams will
be looking to knock the Moun-
taineers off their perch.
Coughlin also has nine start-
ers back from last years team
and Lake-Lehman advanced to
the District 2 Class 2A semi-
finals, as did Crestwood.
With a new coach and several
returning key players, Hazleton
Area should be able to improve
on last years one-win season
and should be watched as an
upset pick.
And dont forget about
Wyoming Valley West. The
Spartans are always a force
when it comes to the postsea-
son in Class 3A and in the
division. They also return a lot
of players from last years squad
and has the ability to improve
on an 8-6 season.
I think Dallas is still the
team to beat and Coughlin has
a lot back, Lake-Lehman coach
Mike Kostrobala said. The rest
of the division, you have to be
For the last two-plus seasons,
Dallas has been far and away
the best boys soccer team in
the Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence.
The Mountaineers began
their season on Saturday riding
a 30-game winning streak in
the conference. In that stretch,
the team has strung together
the victories mainly by playing
potent defense only giving up a
total of 15 goals in those match-
es and holding opponents
scoreless 18 times. Since its last
loss on Oct. 19, 2009, there
have been times that teams in
the conference have allowed 15
goals in one game.
With nine starters back from
last years team, which includes
players who have been a part of
an unbeaten junior high team
going 35-0 at that level, the
Mountaineers are once again
the favorite to claim the Divi-
sion I championship and con-
tend for the District 2 Class 2A
gold. The district title has been
elusive for Dallas in that time
and this year the standards are
high.
We knew coming up the last
few years they did very well
and we expected to do very
well in the league and the con-
ference, Dallas coach Chris
Scharff said. Were a little
disappointed that we didnt win
districts the last two years but
thats the breaks you get. We
really want to win districts the
next two years and thats our
goal so well see what hap-
pens.
The road likely wont be easy
for the Mountaineers in the
division as rival Coughlin ap-
pears to be back on track after a
down 11-3 season a year ago.
Lake-Lehman is now in Divi-
sion I and will play its Back
Mountain rival twice this sea-
son instead of just once when
the Black Knights played in
Division II. And dont forget
about Crestwood, which gave
Dallas fits in the district semi-
finals a year ago before the
Mountaineers pulled away for
the victory.
Top returning players
Justin Okun, senior, Cough-
lin The Wyoming Valley Con-
ference Division I scoring lead-
er a year ago finished with 25
goals, 10 assists and 60 points.
He was also selected as All-
State by the Wyoming Valley
Conference coaches.
Danny Saba, senior, Dallas
He was second in Division I in
points tallying 39, consisting of
14 goals and 11 assists.
on your toes every game be-
cause there are no easy games.
Around Division II
With Lehman moving up to
D-I after consecutive division
titles, the division could be
anyones to win.
In 2011, Pittston Area fin-
ished in second, but Tunk-
hannock, Wyoming Seminary
and Holy Redeemer were close
behind. Meyers was at the
bottom of the very even divi-
sion in 2011, but the Mohawks
appear to be much improved
after that down season and
could make things more in-
teresting.
The Tigers could climb to
the top of the standings once
all is said and done. They only
lost two seniors from last years
club and have a successful
veteran coach in Mark Stroney,
who is back for his second year
after a 10-year hiatus from the
high school game.
Its a lot easier for me in the
second year because I dont
have to explain everything to
the players that Im looking for
this time around, Stroney said.
So thats a bit of an advan-
tage.
Around Division III
The last two division titles
have gone through Hanover
Area. The Hawkeyes have had a
lot of turnover from those two
teams and may be in a bit of a
transition. Berwick took sec-
ond in the division both years
to Hanover and may now be
the favorite with many several
returning players from a year
ago that won a play-in game to
advance to the District 2 Class
2A tournament.
Another team that could give
Hanover Area and Berwick fits
in Wyoming Area. The Warriors
enter with a first-year coach in
Nick Hufford, but their num-
bers are up and like the Bull-
dogs they return several key
players from a year ago.
Up-and-coming teams are
GAR, Nanticoke and MMI. The
Grenadiers are still in the midst
of rebuilding a program and are
starting to see the light with a
few successful junior high sea-
sons.
Nanticoke has only won
twice in the last two seasons,
but veteran coach Mark Matu-
sek has his young team ready
to snap that skid. If the Trojans
can get a win or two, it can
begin a winning stretch be-
cause no players were lost from
last year and a few standouts
were added.

WILKES-BARRE Coughlin
has had a long line of quality tail-
backs throughout the years.
Zac Evans made his pitch Sat-
urday night to join that list.
The fullback-turned-tailback
rushed for 211 yards, including a
70-yard TD that changed the
complexion of the game, as
Coughlin defeated Tunkhannock
28-0 in a Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence Division 3A game.
Evans, who was a 1,000-yard
rusher as a fullback last season,
carried the ball just 15 times. His
13th tote of the night the 70-
yard scoring run gave the Cru-
saders a 21-0 lead at 8:38 of the
third quarter.
The run also completed a
three-play, 97-yard drive after
Tunkhannock pinned the Cru-
saders with a punt and a penalty.
It feels great, Evans said,
but its not just about me. Every-
body came out and played hard.
Wegot anopening-seasonvictory
and it feels great.
Coughlin scored on its first
possession of the game, with
quarterback Tim Pilch complet-
ing the 75-yard drive with a 20-
yard run. Pilch added a1-yard TD
sneak at 2:41 of the second quar-
ter as the Crusaders took a 14-0
lead into halftime.
In between those scores, Tunk-
hannocks Double-Wing rushing
attack was able to control the
clock and move the ball at times.
But the Tigers had two posses-
sions fizzle out in Coughlin terri-
tory, including one at the 17-yard
line.
Tunkhannocks offense found
little success in the second half.
The Tigers didnt get a first down
until their final possession with
3:41 left in the game. By that
time, Coughlin led 28-0 on a 17-
yard run by Pilch late in the third
quarter. The score was set up
when Coughlin linebacker Joe
Lanning made a sack, causing a
fumble that was recovered by de-
fensive lineman Brad Emerick.
Tunkhannock played a very
hard game, Coughlin coach Ciro
Cinti said. They have a good
bunchof kids. I thinkit was amat-
ter of we wore them down in the
second half. I dont know if they
had a first down in the second
half. The first half they ranupand
down the field.
Tunkhannock coach Rod Azar
echoed those comments.
We made a lot of mistakes in
the second half offensively, more
so in our pass blocking, Azar
said. We have to fix some big
mistakes that we made.
Paul Cole, Coughlins new full-
back, also had a solid game. He
rushed nine times for 88 yards.
Josh Colley led Tunkhannock
ballcarriers with 49 yards. But af-
ter gaining 96 yards on the
groundinthe first half, the Tigers
managed just 54 in the final two
quarters.

CLARKS SUMMIT The
tone was set just two plays in.
Pittston Areas young quar-
terback Kyle Gattusso made a
mistake, and Abington
Heights senior captain Jerry
Langan made it hurt.
Thelinebacker pickedoff the
errant pass and returned it 42
yards for the score just 45 sec-
onds into the contest. The
Comets went on to punch one
in the end
zone once
each quarter
as Abington
shutout the
Patriots,
28-0, at The
Pit Saturday
afternoon.
Abington
(1-0) picked
off three pas-
ses, two that
were return-
ed for touchdowns, and kept
constant pressure on a duo of
Pittston Area quarterbacks,
forcing two sacks and multiple
quick passes on routes not yet
established especially on key
moments when Pittston Area
was driving.
That was a big play for us
early on because it got some
points on the board and got us
momentum, said AH head
coach Joe Repshis. No se-
quence explains it more than
the second quarter. Down 7-0,
the Patriots were deep in
Abington territory, down to
the 15. But one sack and a 2-
yard loss on a fullback dive cre-
ated a third-and-long and left
the Patriots withanemptyfeel-
ing on an incomplete fourth-
down pass in the end zone.
We made way too many
mistakes, said Patriots head
coachMike Barrett as the team
also had six fumbles, losing
one of them. We played a ton
of freshmen and sophomores,
and we are a young football
team. As they begin to get that
experience, they will learn not
to make those mistakes. We
will just move forward.
Down 14-0 in the third, Pitt-
ston Area had another oppor-
tunity down to the Abington
30, but a short run by Justin
Wilk and three straight incom-
plete passes turned it over to
the Comets.
Its not like Abington dom-
inatedthe offensive categories.
Pittston racked up more
than 200 yards of offense, and
had the opportunities.
Abington just capitalized in
the right moments.
I thought that we were right
with them from an offensive
standpoint and offensive put-
out, Barrett said. Our guys
started to go down with
cramps, and we gave two
touchdowns with the intercep-
tions. We will have to go back
and address some things. Jus-
tin Wilk had 45 yards on the
ground for the Patriots, while
Marc Romanczuk added 25.
Gattusso completed three pas-
ses for 42 yards, while James
Emmett added 34 through the
air.

DUNMORE Holy Cross was
given a steady showing of what
will be Meyers primary offensive
weapon Saturday afternoon, and,
like most teams whosawhimlast
year if indifferent colors came
away with no need for a sequel.
The Mohawks Parrish Ben-
nett ran wild for 284 yards and
three touchdowns while Teaguen
Labatch added a pair of touch-
down passes in a 40-0 win for
Meyers in the Wyoming Valley
Conference season-opener for
the Mohawks.
Its much better starting 1-0
than it does 0-1 like last year,
said Meyers (1-0) head coach
Corry Hanson. Its great to get
the season started off with a win
in a game where Parrish really
showed what hes capable of.
Bennet, who amassed over
1,700yards last seasonfor Hanov-
er Area, got his season on track
early against a Holy Cross squad
that just couldnt handle his ath-
leticism.
After Labatchs first scoring
toss to Matt DeMarco and a Cru-
saders miscue that went for a
safety, Bennett ran the ball
straight into the teeth of Holy
Cross front four, made a line-
backer miss and left a Crusader
safety flat-footed as he raced 22
yards for a touchdown and a 16-0
lead with 7:13 to go in the first
half.
We just dont have speed to
match up, said Holy Cross (0-1)
head coach Jeff Stevens. Were a
big, plodding team, but, we lack
team speed. Hopefully we can
find some ways to work with
what we have and defend that go-
ing forward.
Bennett tacked on two more
displays of what he can do in the
secondhalf, addinga snaking, 45-
yard scoring run and another 55-
yard breakout. The latter of the
two came after the diminutive
Bennett dropped his shoulder in-
to a Crusader linebacker to make
some room before tearing free.
My line got me to the edge to
start that (45-yard run) and from
there I found a hole or two and
got another great block down-
field. My teammates really kept
after the play, said Bennett. On
the other one, it was nice to show
I can do a little more than just
take it to the outside.

Just about every cyclist
knows that a ride of 62 miles is
considered a metric century be-
cause it works out to100kilome-
ters.
But a rideof 1,000kilometers?
A metric millennium?
Whatever you want to call it,
Paul Zbiek plans on racking up
1,000 kilometers on his bike this
week, finishingwiththe Upstate
Velo Clubs Great 100 ride on
Sunday.
Ive always wanted to do a
long distance ride at the end of
the summer, Zbiek said. I do
the Spin 4 Life in February.
And this just coincided nice-
ly with the Great 100.
Zbiek, 60, who lives with his
wife Donna in Plymouth Town-
ship, will start his trek Monday
and go right through Sundays
Great 100.
He says he will spend about
eight hours a day with some of
that time spent refueling. Most
of his rides will start from Sick-
lers Bike and Sport Shop in Exe-
ter and follow the levee system
into Hanover Township.
Weve got a great levee sys-
tem, said Zbiek, who hopes his
efforts draws a little extra atten-
tion to the levees.
He also wants his efforts to
bring attention and support to
the Great 100, which is raising
money for the Wounded War-
rior Project.
A good friend and riding
partner of mine Rick Coslett
just returned home from Af-
ghanistan, Zbiek said.
The Great 100 works out nice-
lyfor Zbieknot onlybecauseit is
raising money for a cause he be-
lieves in, but also because it
comes at a time when he has
some free time on his hands.
Zbiek is currently on sabbat-
ical from Kings College, where
he teaches geography with a
specialty on Pennsylvania,
while he works on a book on the
Appalachian Mountain culture.
The sabbatical has allowed
Zbiek to be in top shape for his
trek, while also allowing him to
see some of the geography he
teaches from the saddle of his
bike.
Ive already put in some 40
centuries bothindoors andout,
said Zbiek, who added hes rid-
den about 6,500 miles this year.
The Great 100 isnt Zbieks
first experience with riding a
bike for a goodcause. He partici-
pates inthe Spin4Life eachyear
in memory of a stepson that
passed way from leukemia in
1999.
He also has plenty experience
in the saddle, having been a cy-
clist for 40 years.
I dont have the speed and
quickness I used to have, Zbiek
said. But I can still do the dis-
tances.
The great thing about cy-
cling is that its not a high im-
pact sport. And if you take care
of yourself, you can do it for a
long time.
No matter howwell Zbiek has
taken care of himself, he is
bound to be one tired cyclist
come Sunday.
He did find a silver lining in
that, however.
I joked with my wife that if I
get dropped by the real ham-
mers (in the Great 100) at least I
have an excuse, he said.

DALLAS TWP. Saturday was
a big day for local girls in the Cliff
Robbins Sr. Memorial High
School Invitational Cross Coun-
try Races at Letterkenny Fields.
Regan Rome, a junior at Dallas
High School, ran away with the
Girls Varsity 5KRun. AndAudrey
Williams, a home-schooled girl
who is running at the freshman
level with Wyoming Valley West,
squeaked out a victory in the
Girls Junior High 3K.
Rome broke the tape in19 min-
utes and seven seconds. She out-
distanced second-place finisher,
Tessa Barrett, a junior from
Abington Heights by 35 seconds
the widest margin of victory of
the four races.
I ledfor most of the race, said
Rome, who finished third in the 2
miler at states at Shippensburg
University in May, running as a
sophomore. I took control on a
hill, about 1 mile into the race. I
really pushed that hill. Once I
took the lead, I concentrated on
my pace. This race is tough when
youre running alone because
there are so many straight-aways.
You have to keep pushing. I do
that by paying attention to my
pace.
Williams crossedthe finishline
in12:39, edging out second-place
finisher, Libby Pearson, aneighth
grader from Holy Cross, by one
second, capturing top honors in
the 3K. Keri Jones, an eighth-
grader from Elk Lake, finished
third, a split second behind Pear-
son. And Lexi Walsh, an eighth-
grader from Holy Cross, finished
fourth, a split second behind
Jones.
I didnt think I could win,
said Williams, who will also play
soccer for the Spartans this fall. I
was running in second place as
we were running around the final
turn. ThenI hearda bunchof peo-
ple cheering for me. Thats when
I kicked it in and moved into the
lead. I wasnt sure I could hold on
for the win. But I did!
Rico Galassi, a senior fromHo-
ly Cross, wonthe Boys Varsity 5K
in 16:13. He outran second-place
finisher, Dominic DeLuca, a ju-
nior from Dallas, by 20 seconds.
Luke Jones, a senior from Elk
Lake, finished third, three sec-
onds behind DeLuca. Lake-Leh-
man senior, Kieran Sutton, fin-
ished sixth in 17:03. And Lake-
Lehman freshman, Dominic
Hockenbury, finished eighth in
17:24.
Me anda guy from(Scranton)
Prep (senior Mike Brier, who fin-
ished 7th) ran together for a
while, said Galassi. I just kept
running at my normal pace and
pulled away from the rest of the
field about 1,500 meters into the
race. I was tired throughout the
entire race. The heat probably
had a lot to do with that. But I
found something extra and ran
strong over the final 800 meters.
Galassi isnt sure yet about
what college he would like to at-
tendafter hefinishes highschool.
But hes been thinking about
Penn State, Villanova and the
Rochester Institute of Technolo-
gy. He is very interested in study-
ing about film.
Matt Kravitz, a freshman from
North Pocono won the Junior
High 3K in 11:02. Austin Senn-
Bishop, an eight-grader from
North Bradford, finished second,
14 seconds behind Kravitz. Pat

The start of the cross country varsity girls race at Letterkenny Fields off of 42nd Street in Dallas Township. The Wyoming Valley
Striders held the 38th annual Cliff Robbins Sr. Memorial High School Invitational cross country races Saturday morning.
Rome, Williams win Cliff Robbins
By ROBERT MINER
(Dallas fans) are silent. I realized
we could do this, this is for real.
Baur added a pair of 1-yard TD
sneaks, the final coming with
1:04 left until halftime for a 21-7
advantage.
Big plays led to all three short
TD runs.
On the first scoring drive, Baur
hit running back Derrick Simms
with a screen pass that turned in-
to a 46-yard gain to the Dallas 11-
yardline. Onthe second, receiver
Lucky Williams caught a 68-yard
pass before being stopped at the
Dallas1. Simms hada 38-yardrun
to the Dallas 5 on the third.
On the good side, they didnt
drive the football on us, Zaruta
said. But we also gave up those
three big plays and thats part of
the game. There were probably a
couple that on the offensive side
of the ball that could have been
big plays for us and they werent.
That happens in football and you
go with that.
Dallas quarterback Ryan Za-
poticky, an All-WVC selection
last season, hada big game statis-
tically. He hit on 16-of-24 passes
for 172 yards, including a beauti-
fully-place 34-yard TDtoss to Da-
rik Johnson in the second quar-
ter.
What Zapotickys stats didnt
show was the relentless pressure
he faced. He was sacked seven
times for minus-55 yards.
It was very important to get
pressure, said Valley West se-
nior nose tackle Tony Le, who
had his hand in a fewsacks. Hes
a very good quarterback. He can
really sling it.
Even when Dallas moved with-
in 28-14 on a 59-yard TD run by
Kris Roccograndi with 9:47 to
play, the Mountaineers couldnt
sustain the rally because of the
pressure. Their final two drives
ended at the Valley West 5 and 28
after Zapoticky had to hurry
throws.

las on Saturday afternoon.
the scoreboard and there were
positives for Misericordia.
Sloppy penalties -- for illegal
procedures, formations andsub-
stitutions, as well as delay of
game -- were virtually nonexist-
ent. The first turnover in Cou-
gars history didnot take place in
Gettysburg.
Fundamentally, we didnt
tackle well and we didnt get off
blocks, Ross said. We talked
about protecting the ball and
not making mental mistakes,
and we did well in that regard.
Puckett went the distance un-
der center, connecting on 11-
of-15 passes in the first half for
102 yards. His top target was
Paul Brace, as the Dallas grad
pulled down four passes in the
first half for 46 yards, including
convertinga second-and-12with
a 22-yard out and a third-and-10
with an18-yard curl -- catching a
pass tipped en route.
He did a great job getting
open, Puckett saidof Brace, who
finished with 131 all-purpose
yards. It was an easy pitch and
catch with him.
Despite being the first game
in program history, Puckett was
poised in the pocket. He was
sacked four times, but managed
tofinishwith113yards inthe air.
The line blocked great to-
day, Puckett said. Sometimes
it was on me to make something
happen, but they picked them
up well.
Cody Lamoreaux, a junior ab-
sent from the two-deep roster,
came on in the second quarter
and found some running lanes
after halftime.
We kept playing hard for 60
minutes, Ross said. We had a
good effort and commited a lot
of the errors that come with a
new team.
Gettysburg set a school re-
cord for yards rushing, tied one
for extra points made and
topped its modern scoring
mark.
The Bullets ran for 546 yards
on 55 carries, topping the 529
they had against Juniata in
2009. Robby Fay made eight
PAT kicks for Gettysburg.
The 70 points exceeds the 61
scored against Susquehanna in
2010, and was last topped with
81 points against American in
1928.

BUL L E T I N BOARD
Although chronic wasting
disease was last documented
to be 10 miles from Penn-
sylvanias border, PGC wild-
life veterinarian Dr. Walt
Cottrell said it may be closer.
In fact, the disease may
already be here.
Cottrell said one of the
biggest factors behind the
path of the disease through
other states is via captive
deer. Because there is no way
to test for the disease before
an animal is dead, its pos-
sible, Cottrell said, that an
infected deer could be shed-
ding CWD prions into the
environment for some time
without anyone knowing it.
And once those prions
enter the environment, they
will be there for a long time.
Were second only to Tex-
as in captive cervids, and
theres no restrictions on
captive cervids from a CWD
area, such as Texas, Cottrell
said. With all these cervids
coming and going, its all
very worrying. Its a huge
risk factor.
The captive deer industry
is overseen by the Pennsylva-
nia Department of Agricul-
ture. The Game Commission
was in charge of the industry
until 2005, and Cottrell said
the agency deals with escap-
ed deer all the time.
The captive deer industry
presents a second CWD risk
in the lure that is manu-
factured from some facilities.
Cottrell said urine-based lure
from an infected deer can
spread the disease, meaning
CWD can be unknowingly
poured from a bottle by a
hunter anywhere in the state.
And the fact that it can
remain in the incubation
stage for years, it may al-
ready be present.
Urine-based lures are a
risk factor, but we cant quan-
tify it, Cottrell said.
Lures are also a concern
because they can attract
numerous deer to an infected
site, allowing the disease to
spread through the pop-
ulation.
Cottrell has been vocal
about the need to, at the
very least, consider imple-
menting a ban on urine-
based lures before the dis-
ease is found.
The PGC executive direc-
tor has the authority to ban
lures if the disease is found
in a certain area of the state,
but Cottrell said a proactive
approach needs to be consid-
ered.
Our job is to try and miti-
gate every risk factor we can
identify, he said.
PGC commissioner Jay
Delaney, who represents the
northeast region, said he
understands Cottrells con-
cern but agency staff has not
brought any proposals to the
board.
Delaney said he wouldnt
support a lure ban at this
time until there is more testi-
mony and dialogue with the
Bureau of Wildlife Manage-
ment and all other stakehold-
er groups.
Is sickness
already in
the state?
TOMVENESKY
tvenesky@timesleader.com
Dr. Walt Cottrell, the Pennsylvania
Game Commissions wildlife veterin-
arian, is quick to offer up some frighten-
ing facts about chronic wasting disease.
Deer have no resistance to the dis-
ease.
If it enters Pennsylvania, it will be
here forever.
It could change deer hunting and
management for generations to come.
But the scariest of all?
The lack of concern from Pennsylvania
residents about the severity of the dis-
ease.
Its not immediate enough. It takes a
long time to develop, but once its here
its here forever, Cottrell said, adding
that the best defense to keep CWD out
of Pennsylvania is prevention.
That includes a parts ban that prohib-
its hunters from bringing back certain
parts of any cervid from states where
CWD is present.
Every year I have people tell me
How was I to know about the parts
ban? Cottrell said. Taxidermy parts is
the way the disease came into New York,
and people totally ignored the parts ban.
We need to make inroads into the
importance of that ban.
One reason is because the disease is
close. It has been found in neighboring
states such as Maryland, New York and
West Virginia. Cottrell is surprised that
CWD hasnt been found in Pennsylvania,
yet.
The probability increases every year,
he said. Its either going to come across
the border from Maryland (CWD has
been found just over 10 miles from the
border), from a live animal that escapes
captivity and has the disease or a taxi-
dermy part from an infected animal.
First identified in 1967, CWD is a
transmissible spongiform encephalo-
pathy (TSE) that affects cervids, in-
cluding all species of deer, elk and
moose. It is a progressive and always
fatal disease of the nervous system. Sci-
entists believe CWD is caused by an
unknown agent capable of transforming
normal brain proteins into an abnormal
form.
Cottrell said the disease essentially
stops an infected animal from eating,
and it could remain in the incubation
stage for one to two years.
Its a very slow, insidious process, he
said. Deer have no resistance thats
one of the heartbreaks of this disease.
Its something that the immune system
is not set up for.
Every year, before the onset of the
deer hunting season which kick off
with archery on Sept. 29, the PGC
launches a public campaign to raise
awareness about the disease and the
importance of the parts ban. Commis-
sioner Jay Delaney, who represents the
northeast region on the PGC board, said
Cottrell routinely sends emails to the
board updating them on the status of
CWD.
Delaney said the agencys CWD sur-
veillance and prevention program
which includes testing approximately
4,000 deer annually, have worked to
keep the disease out of the state.
The Game Commission also has a
response plan in place if CWD is detect-
ed in the state.
Despite the safeguards, Cottrell is still
concerned.
It may already be closer than 10 miles
to our border, but its hard to detect, he
said.
When it comes to wildlife diseases,
this is right at the top because it can
actually alter population levels. It
spreads into areas, never leaves, and
once its ion the soil its here forever.
Chronic wasting disease is scary
SUBMITTED PHOTOS
Dr. Walt Cottrell (on the right), PGC wildlife veterinarian, said the threat of chronic wasting disease entering Pennsylvania is increasing every year. The disease can be
devastating to deer and elk populations.
How to help prevent
the spread of CWD
Pennsylvania hunters
heading to a state with a
history of CWD should
become familiar with that
states wildlife regulations
and guidelines for the
transportation of harvested
game animals. Wildlife
officials have suggested
hunters in areas where CWD
is known to exist follow these
usual recommendations to
prevent the possible spread
of disease:
Do not shoot, handle or
consume any animal that
appears sick; contact the
state wildlife agency if you
see or harvest an animal that
appears sick.
Wear rubber or latex
gloves when field-dressing
carcasses.
Bone out the meat from
your animal.
Minimize the handling of
brain and spinal tissues.
Wash hands and
instruments thoroughly after
field-dressing is completed.
Request that your animal
is processed individually,
without meat from other
animals being added to meat
from your animal, or process
your own meat if you have
the tools and ability to do so.
Have your animal
processed in the endemic
area of the state where it was
harvested, so that high-risk
body parts can be properly
disposed of there.Only bring
permitted materials back to
Pennsylvania.
Dont consume the brain,
spinal cord, eyes, spleen,
tonsils or lymph nodes of
harvested animals. (Normal
field-dressing, coupled with
boning out a carcass, will
remove most, if not all, of
these body parts. Cutting
away all fatty tissue will help
remove remaining lymph
nodes.)
Consider not consuming
the meat from any animal
that tests positive for the
disease.
If it enters into the state, its here forever
By TOMVENESKY

Pennsylvania Game
Commission wildlife
veterinarian Dr. Walt
Cottrell is concerned
about the impact
chronic wasting dis-
ease will have on Penn-
sylvanias deer herd if
it enters the state. The
closest the disease has
been documented is
approximately 10 miles
from the southern
border, in Maryland.
About the parts ban
The parts ban prohibits hunters from
bringing back specific carcass parts where
CWD prions concentrate, including: the head
(including brain, tonsils, eyes and any lymph
nodes); spinal cord/backbone; spleen; skull
plate with attached antlers, if visible brain or
spinal cord tissue is present; cape, if visible
brain or spinal cord tissue is present; upper
canine teeth, if root structure or other soft
tissue is present; any object or article
containing visible brain or spinal cord tissue;
unfinished taxidermy mounts; and
brain-tanned hides.
States and provinces included in the parts
ban are: Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas,
Maryland (only from CWD Management
Area), Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri,
Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York
(only from Madison and Oneida counties),
North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota,
Texas, Utah, Virginia (only from CWD
Containment Area), West Virginia (only from
CWD Containment Area, which now includes
parts of three counties), Wisconsin and
Wyoming; as well as the Canadian provinces
of Alberta and Saskatchewan.

D
id the Obama administration hit
a home run with its new fuel
mileage standards for passenger
vehicles, or was the announcement last
week just another way to weasel out of
tougher and smarter approaches to
reducing dependence on oil and cut-
ting emissions?
Heres what happened: The adminis-
tration said the fleet average fuel
economy of cars and light trucks would
have to reach 54.5 miles per gallon by
2025. That sounds really ambitious
and if achieved will stretch a gallon
further while cutting tailpipe emis-
sions in half. The reality is less as-
tounding; according to the Associated
Press, real-world mileage will be closer
to 40 mpg, still a huge jump over the
present low 20s.
Car makers were reported to have
mixed feelings about the standards.
While theyre happy to have firm tar-
gets to aim for, they fear car buyers
may resist buying fuel-efficient vehi-
cles, which tend to be smaller than
were accustomed to.
Still, the biggest driver of car-buying
behavior ultimately goes to the ques-
tion of Whats the price of gasoline?
Gloria Bergquist, vice president of the
Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers
told ABC News.
So theres the problem with impos-
ing lofty standards. If gas prices remain
bearable, car shoppers will want to
stick with larger vehicles and selling
more of them will make it impossible
for car makers to meet the goal. Re-
member, its an average that will be
influenced by the mix of vehicles sold;
too many SUVs and the average falls
below the target.
On top of that, mandates require
bureaucracies to manage and measure.
Even more troubling if you want to see
better mileage and fewer emissions
become reality, they are subject to the
whims of the executive branch. That
means a change in administrations
could mean an end to the standards.
Why go to all this trouble, when a
simpler, more effective and more long-
lasting approach is available? Whats
that? Raise the tax on motor fuels and
create real demand for high-mpg vehi-
cles. Rather than a stick alone keep
reasonable standards, too, at least for
emissions car makers would have a
market-driven carrot as an incentive.
Instead of pleasing Uncle Sam, theyd
have to satisfy millions of customers.
The bonus is badly needed dollars
that could and should be directed
at fixing and expanding transportation
infrastructure. Not just roads and
bridges, but trams and trains, too.
Both liberal and conservative politic-
ians hate this idea, at least in public,
because it would draw the wrath of just
about every segment of the population.
While libs promise we can get there
without much pain except maybe on
the car makers the right abhors any
talk of taxes, maintaining dishonestly
that everything will be fine if we just
drill more oil wells off the beaches.
Ill bet most readers, if theyve made
it this far, are fuming at the mention of
higher gas taxes while the economy is
struggling. Wait until it gets better,
they might say, when people can more
easily afford to pay more for gas. But
weve been there, and no one dared
raise the issue when gas prices were
low.
If anything, weve been going in the
other direction; the federal tax rate
was last reset in 1993 to 18.3 cents per
gallon of gasoline. Accounting for
inflation, that would be 29 cents today.
And we wonder why theres not
enough money to fix the roads.
But dont worry, aside from making
a lot of people mad, this idea floated
by some well-known conservatives as
well is likely to languish as long as
voters believe politicians fairy tales
and would rather dodge potholes than
foot the bill for better roads.

MOST KIDS IN the
region are back to
school and that
means sniffles, strep
throat and other
ailments they seem to
share. One of the
biggest issues for
school-age children is head lice, which
affects six to 12 million families every
year. Lice arent dangerous and dont
spread disease, but they are conta-
gious and can be pretty annoying.
Their bites may cause the scalp to
become itchy and inflamed, and per-
sistent scratching can lead to skin
irritation and in some case, infection.
Theres a product on the market that
treats head lice without using toxic
chemicals and the maker wants to give
a lucky reader of this column the full
product line for free. You dont have to
have a kid with lice to want to have
this on hand. Better to be safe than
make a 3 a.m. run to buy the items.
LiceGuard claims to be the only
complete non-toxic lice detection-
killing-prevention line on the market,
non-toxic, pesticide free and reusable.
Among its products is the battery
operated Robi Comb that detects and
destroys lice simply by combing it
through dry hair. Other products in-
clude SAFE Lice Shampoo and a Re-
pellent Kit.
If you want to get all of these for
free, be the first to send me an email
to aseder@timesleader.com with the
answer to this question: How many
legs does an adult head louse have?

lucky like a reader from last week.

WILKES-BARRE Northeastern
Pennsylvania has traditionally been la-
bor strong. But this soul of the United
Mine Workers and other prominent
unions has followed national trends
downward, with less than 1 in 5 work-
ers now represented by a union, and
half that number in private industry.
Ed Harry, president of the Greater
Wilkes-Barre Labor Council, said local
union membership is way down and
worries that good paying union jobs
are being replaced by $10 per hour dis-
tribution center positions.
Just drive through the industrial
parks and you will see a lot of empty
buildings, Harry said. Thousands of
people have lost their jobs jobs that
have gone overseas to China and other
places. Its decimated the labor move-
ment locally and nationally.
Harry said the public sector is now
feeling similar effects. Cuts in funding
for education have resulted in school
districts laying off hundreds of work-
ers and governments like Luzerne
County, where 60 positions have been
cut, are reducing work forces, he said.
Its not a good thing any place,
Harry said. More and more trade
agreements are taking all the good
jobs out of this country.
This country better wake up, he
said. Soon there wont be any good
jobs here.
Harry said he has heard rhetoric
frompoliticians, but feels Republicans
and Democrats alike are to blame.
They all say we need jobs, jobs,
jobs, Harry said. But who is bringing
the jobs back to the U.S.? The trade
agreements are killing us. Its not a fair
playing field.
Besides China, jobs are going to
Asia, Central America and other plac-
es that dont have the same labor laws
and regulations, he said.
Union status not strong enough

HICAGO -- Gerry Cantu is old school when it comes to teaching.
Fromthe first week of class, Cantu makes his students get their hands dirty, dis-
assembling and putting back together greasy, gunky decades-old machines to better
understand how they work and how they can be repaired.
As the promise of good-paying
jobs has renewed an interest in
manufacturing, local colleges and
training centers are beefing up
their programs; their focus tends to
be on mathematics and computer
programs because modern plants
operate with the latest technology.
And then theres Cantu, who
teaches at the Illinois Manufactur-
ing Foundation in Chicago. There
is a market for his students because
some companies continue to make
parts on old, custom-made ma-
chines andneedpeople whocanop-
erate them and keep them going,
knowledge that is disappearing
along with older skilled workers
like Cantu.
All the old-timers are retiring,
said Cantu, 57, who explained that
he is trying to impart skills no one
would teach him when he started
working as a machinist four dec-
ades ago.
I learned mostly on my own,
Cantu said with pride. Thats why
I like to teach.
Cantus classroom is in the sec-
ond floor of an old industrial build-
ing and consists of about a dozen
machines in a rownear the translu-
cent windows facingrailway tracks.
Cantu can at times be gruff with his
feedback, but the students seem to
sense he cares about them and
wants them to succeed.
What Im trying to do is to help
you get in the door of a company,
Cantu explained to a group of po-
tential students during an orienta-
tion. Learning how to properly set
up a machine takes years, he said.
Thats what Imteaching you from
the beginning.
Someof thestudents area lot like
Cantu, a onetime member of the
Harrison Gents street gang who
credits turning around his life by
working with his hands. Others
want toturnthemselves aroundthe
same way.

HANDS-ON APPROACH

NEW YORK When Rick Kimsey
decided to start a business, a franchise
seemed like the best way to go.
Buying a franchise in his case, a
Doctors Express urgent care facility
meant he didnt have to start from
square one. The business came with a
concept and a service to sell. For many
people, the facilities are more appealing
and less expensive than a trip to the
emergency room. Kimsey just neededto
get the franchise up and running, and
then operate it. It didnt even matter
that he had no medical training.
But what sounded like a great plan
wasnt so easy. Financing for the busi-
ness was nearly impossible to get in the
aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis
and the recession. Kimsey was dealt his
first blowwhen his bank froze his home
equity line of credit. Then six banks
turned him down for a loan.
It took more than a year before he was
finally able to close the deal.
The tough economy has made the
prospect of operating a franchise attrac-
tive to the unemployed, to workers who
dont want to wait to get knocked off the
corporate ladder and to others looking
for a new way to generate income. But
first-time franchise buyers are finding
its harder than they expected to cobble
together the money needed to get their
businesses off the ground. Lenders are
rejecting them because of their inexpe-
rience or because the franchises theyre
buying are relatively young and not as
well-known as established brands such
as McDonalds and Jiffy Lube.
Kimsey hadenoughof his ownmoney
saved for a $55,000 payment, known as
the franchise fee, to the parent compa-

franchise in Sarasota, Fla. He needed
$1.2 million to cover between $250,000
and $300,000 in construction costs,
$150,000 for equipment and the remain-
der for working capital.
The banks that rejected his loan appli-
cation gave similar reasons for saying
no, he says.
Its a fairly new franchise. This isnt

of history, Kimsey says. Doctors Ex-
press was founded in 2005 and has 54

And even though the company
doesnt require that franchisees have
medical training, the banks were un-
comfortable with the idea.
The banks liked Kimseys business
plan, but bank officers told him that be-
cause he wasnt a doctor, thats going to
be a problem.

hard to accomplish.
Roxanne Pauline of the North-
easternPennsylvania Area Labor
Federation, agreed that union
jobs have been affected by the
economy.
More people than normal are
out of work, she said. And that
makes it difficult to negotiate
contracts.
Pauline said union member-
shiphas stayedlevel recently, de-
spite the lack of work. Some
tradespeople are seeking to be
retrained in skills needed in new
job markets like natural gas drill-
ing and solar panel installation.
Many union workers are be-
ing re-schooled for jobs that are
becoming available, she said.
Statistics tell the story
Labor has been a strong insti-
tutioninthe regionfor decades
from the mining industry to the
garment workers.
But union membership in
American workplaces has drop-
ped dramatically in the past sev-
eral decades, particularly in the
private sector.
According to the federal Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics, 11.8 per-
cent of wage and salary workers
were members of unions in 2011.
In 1983, the first year for which
comparable data are available,
the union membership rate was
20.1 percent.
Public sector workers, such as
government employees and
teachers, had a union member-
ship rate of 37 percent in 2011,
five times higher than the 6.9
percent of those in the private
sector.
In Pennsylvania, the BLS said
14.6 percent of workers belonged
to unions. The bureau said that
in 2011, among full-time wage
and salary workers, union mem-
bers had median usual weekly
earnings of $938, while those
who were not union members
had median weekly earnings of
$729.
According to data compiledby
the Labor Market Reporter, pri-
vate sector union membership
peaked at 39 percent in1958 and
then began to fall steadily.
Health care growing
Patty Ludwikowski, vice presi-
dent for hospitals for the Service
Employees International Union
Local Healthcare PA, said the
unionhas about 23,000members
statewide. She said she recently
helped organize some 4,000
state home care workers.
Workers feel they need a
voice, she said. The demands
for health care and the rapid
changes have made health care
facilities operate more like a
business.
Ludwikowski said her sector
is one that is growing, unlike
many other unions. She said
with the regions high elderly
population, healthcareis amajor
employer and those workers
need representation to assure
they get fair wages and benefits.

Long a union stronghold, the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Metro-
politan Statistical Area, which
includes Luzerne, Lackawanna
and Wyoming counties, now is
about average in the propor-
tion of workers belonging to
unions.
In 2011, 14.3 percent of all work-
ers were union members, ac-
cording to Unionstats.com.
That compares to 11.8 percent
nationally.
Twenty-five years ago the local
figure was 23.8 percent. The
decline is entirely in private
employment, where union
membership fell to 9.5 percent
from 20.2 percent. Still, thats
much higher than the 6.9
percent national rate.
Over the same time period
public sector employment rose
slightly, to 49.5 percent from
46.1 percent.

Eventually Kimsey did get a
$575,000 Small Business Admin-
istration-guaranteed loan from a
bank in Utah. He tapped into his
savings and about $500,000 from
his 401(k) the entire account
for the rest of the money.
Ive got to build this up. It will
be my retirement, Kimsey says
of his franchise. ThenIll handit

Franchises have suffered along
with other small businesses in
the last five years. The number of
franchises in the U.S. for ex-
ample, an individual McDo-
nalds, Dunkin Donuts shop or
Days Inn fell by 37,790, or
nearly 5 percent, between 2008
and 2011, according to the Inter-
national Franchise Association.
The trade group estimates that
the number of franchises will rise
this year for the first time since
2008, gaining 1.7 percent to
748,680. But thats still more
than 3 percent below 2008s
774,016.
The number of franchises
dropped as the recession made
many people wary about starting
a business and because thou-
sands of franchises closed
Where its really having its
hardest effect is the aspiring en-
trepreneur whodoesnt have that
track record or that relationship
with the banks, says Stephen
Caldeira, president of the Inter-
national Franchise Association.
But banks are also wary about
franchises theyre unfamiliar
with the problemthat Kimsey
ran into. Thats a huge change
from before the recession.
Prior to 2008, there was the
general view of franchisees and
the lendingcommunity that fran-
chising was a fairly sound bet,
says Darrell Johnson, CEO of
FRANData, a research firm.
The rising economic tide would
float all boats, and one brand
might not be as strong as anoth-
er, but everyone was going to do
OK.
Now lenders are asking more
questions about the brand, John-
son says. Thats happening even
in some of the franchise industri-
es that are most popular now, in-
cluding health care, elderly care
and gyms and other fitness com-
panies.

possible ticket out of unemployment. Hir-
ing managers, he said, dont care about his
years as an emergency medical technician
and a paramedic. Cantus class has given
him hope because he was referred to the
school by a company that had openings for
machinists.
Mary Ann Cervinka, a human resources
manager at ArrowGear, a gear-maker based
in Downers Grove, Ill., has hired some of
Cantus students as trainees in the compa-
nys in-house program. She said the hands-
on training he provides is invaluable.
When you first start to cook or bake or
work in the kitchen, you dont make a 10-
course dinner, Cervinka said. You learn to
boil water, to make hot dogs or a peanut
butter and jelly sandwich.
Its muchthe same for learningtobecome
a skilled machinist, she said. Step by step,
they learn the intricacies of metal, what the
machine does and how it works, as well as
the skills needed to troubleshoot and solve
critical-thinking problems, Cervinka said.
Not all of Cantus students landmachinist
jobs, which pay about $11 to more than $28
an hour, depending on their skill level.
Since Cantu began teaching at the foun-
dation in 2009, 13 of his 18 students have
found jobs in manufacturing, according to
Ric Gudell, thefoundations executivedirec-
tor. The foundation has struggled to attract
students because of a perception manufac-
turing is dead or dying. Cantu said one ad-
vantage of having a machinists skills is that
work is almost always available. Sure, there
are boom and bust cycles, and he acknowl-
edgedbeing laidoff many times. But he said
he always found a job within weeks. Just re-
cently, he said, he turned down an offer of
$25 per hour to repair machines, about the
same amount he makes as a teacher.
As a young machinist, Cantu said, the ol-
der workers essentially tried to block him
from the trade by refusing to answer any of
his questions during his training. They
feared he would eventually take away their
jobs. So he paid attention to how the men
worked their machines, learned some of the
black art skills that machinists like to keep
to themselves, and soon even the older ma-
chinists were asking him for tips.

MATCH GAME ON
Companies pulled back on matching contributions to their employ-
ees 401(k) plans after the 2008 financial crisis. Now theyre
matching more generously again, according to a Charles Schwab
Corp. study. Some 73 percent of employers using Schwab Retire-
ment Plan Services for their
401(k) plans provided a
matching contribution in 2011.
That was up from 68 percent
in 2010 and back above the
72 percent of 2008.
An increasing number of
employers, 83 percent, also
are making 401(k) advice
available to plan participants
about double the amount of
six years earlier. Schwab calls
the trend an encouraging sign
for employees and a healthy
one for companies.
APPLE VS. THE WORLD
Fresh from a court victory, Apples stock hit an all-time high, briefly reach-

total value of Apples out-

out that Apples market val-

Those 16 countries stocks

Title: Co-manager of the
JPMorgan Diversified Real Return
fund (JRNAX)
What she suggests: Investors in
or near retirement should ensure
that theyre sufficiently diversified
to protect against inflation as well
as a potential sharp decline in
the stock market.
Answers edited for content and
clarity.
Maddi Dessner
Prices are stable now for many
consumer goods, but inflation
remains a long-term concern.
Maddi Dessner keeps a close eye
on inflation risks at JPMorgan
Diversified Real Return. Many of
its investors are in or near
retirement, so the fund takes a
conservative approach. It invests
in a variety of assets, including
inflation-protected bonds, commo-
dities and stocks of natural
resources companies. The goal is
to deliver modestly positive returns,
whether inflation rises or not.
Do you see rising inflation as
short- or long-term threat?
There really isnt any inflation in the
broad economy. Unemployment is
still too high, were not at maximum
manufacturing capacity, and
theres still room for economic
growth. But central banks around
the world have significantly
increased their balance sheets. We
could eventually see inflation rise
as that stimulus works its way
through the system and growth
picks up.
Your fund bought real estate
investment trusts earlier this
year, and they have performed
well. Do you still see room for
growth from REITs?
Yes. But if you look within real
estate, theres a big difference
between residential properties,
high-end Class A commercial
properties in prime locations, and
Class B properties. Those are
almost three different asset
classes in terms whats driving the
returns. Class B and residential
have done better than in the past,
but not anywhere near as well as
Class A recently.
As economic growth starts to
pick up, real estate is a nice place
to be. Youll start to see property
values rise. New office space was
underdeveloped for much of the
past decade as residential real
estate was booming. That area is
certainly attractive, although its
still a moderate weight in our
portfolio.
Any other areas that you're
looking to invest in?
Agricultural commodities. Were
trying to determine whether they
might mitigate the effects of
inflation. We haven't made any big
moves there, but are definitely
looking at that, along with interest
rate volatility and inflation
expectations.
Are you paying close attention
to whether the Federal Reserve
will approve further economic
stimulus measures?
Anything that central banks do or
say will affect inflation expecta-
tions. If people expect more
stimulus, they could expect more
inflation as well. But this fund is
intended to be a longer-term
strategy, so were not going to shift
the portfolio based on something
that Ben Bernanke says tomorrow
or the next day. But it will inform
the process.

Monday, Monday
Mondays really are the worst.
Since 1928, Monday is the only day the stock
market is more likely to fall than to rise. The Dow
Jones industrial average has been down 12 of the
past 13 Mondays.
Some possible factors? Companies are prone
to release bad news on Friday nights, when fewer
people are paying attention. Monday
is the first day investors can react.
And when companies collapse,
they often do it late Sunday or
early Monday, after spending a last
weekend trying to stay afloat.
Maybe people are just anxious:
The Chicago Board of Options
Exchange Volatility Index, the VIX,
a gauge of investor fear, tends to go
up on Mondays.
Three of the five worst days in the history of
the Standard & Poors 500 index were Mondays,
including the two Black Mondays: Oct. 19, 1987,
when stocks plunged more than 20 percent, and
Oct. 28, 1929, which helped set off the Great
Depression, according to Howard Silverblatt at
S&P Dow Jones Indices.
The pattern has held this year:
On Monday, June 11, the Dow fell
142 points because of worries about
Spanish debt. Almost as bad were
June 25, also capsized by worries
about Spain, and April 9, following an
anemic jobs report.
So pity the poor Monday. Even pop
culture is stacked against it. Theres no
T.G.I. Mondays. The Titanic sank on a
Monday, for crying out loud.

Volatile stocks arent that
bad when the market is rising.
Consider a stocks beta,
which measures volatility by
showing how much the stock
swings relative to the market.
When a stocks beta is exactly
1, it tends to move in sync with
the market.
If a stock has a beta greater
than 1, it swings higher than the
market when its rising, but it
falls more when the market is
weak. A stock with a beta of
less than 1 has smaller swings
than the overall market.
Usually, investors look at
the beta of a stock stretching
back for a period of time, say
for two years. But Credit Su-
isse strategists split the
markets history over the last
two years into weeks when the
S&P 500 rose and weeks
when it fell. That way, they
found which stocks have a be-
ta of greater than 1 during up
weeks for the market, but also
a beta of less than 1 during
down weeks.
Visa (V), for example, fell on-
ly 0.9 percent during the week
ending Sept. 23, 2011. That
was the worst week over the
last year for the S&P 500, when
it fell 4.3 percent.
During the S&Ps best week
last year it rose 7.4 percent in
December Visa rose 9.2 per-
cent.

Mortgage rates slip, near record low
Mortgage rates are slipping, after climbing in re-
cent weeks. The average rate on a 30-year fixed
mortgage fell to 3.59 percent, down from 3.66 per-
cent the previous week, mortgage buyer Freddie
Mac says. The record low of 3.49 percent was
reached in late July. Since then, rates have
climbed four out of five weeks. A year ago, the av-
erage was 4.22 percent.

that cold callers try to sell are often
ones that no one else wants, stocks
that their firm wants to unload.
This applies to initial public offer-
ings (IPOs), too. Shares of IPOs that
people are excited about tend to be
hard to come by, not aggressively
hawked over the phone to strangers.
You can ask any cold caller to put
you on his firms do not call list.
You can also prevent other innocents
from being conned by turning in any
hypesters. Take names and notes
during the call and report anything
shady to the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) at sec.gov/
complaint/select.shtml. The SEC
offers excellent guidance on cold-
caller restrictions at sec.gov/investor/
pubs/coldcall.htm. (Shady behavior
includes rudeness, aggressive sales
techniques and ultimatums.)
Anyone thinking of investing with
a cold caller should check out the
regulatory background of the sales-
person and/or brokerage firm. To do
that, visit the FINRA BrokerCheck
area at finra.org/brokercheck, or
call 800-289-9999.
If this is too much to remember,
you have an even easier option:
Just hang up.

Robots to Invest In
Consider Intuitive Surgical (Nas-
daq: ISRG) for your portfolio. It
carries more risk than many com-
panies, but it offers more potential
reward as well. The company is the
biggest player in the robotic surgi-
cal equipment arena, selling hos-
pitals its da Vinci machines that
permit surgeons to perform proce-
dures in less invasive ways.
In the companys last quarter, rev-
enue was up 26 percent over year-
ago levels and earnings grew by 32
percent. The company has no debt
and generates solid cash flow. Bet-
ter still, the company doesnt make
money only by selling its million-
dollar machines a little more
than half its revenue is recurring,
from service contracts and supplies
and accessories for the machines.
Then there are procedures. Most
of the procedures its machines
perform are hysterectomies and
prostatectomies, but the company
is working to get approval for new
procedures. If and when it succeeds,
significant new revenue streams
will open up. International sales
represent another avenue to growth.
Intuitive Surgical seems like a
promising long-term investment.
Learn more before you jump in, or
perhaps just add it to your watch
list and hope for a lower price. Its
stock price, recently near $500 per
share, may not be a screaming bar-
gain, but it doesnt seem severely
overvalued, either.

it and its newsletters have recom-
mended the stock, too.)

I started following Netflix when I
noticed how poorly it was manag-
ing itself. When the stock fell nearly
20 percent in a single day, to about
$170, I bought. I thought the market
was being harsh and it would surely
bounce back. I learned that greed is
not the best strategy for me to pur-
sue. S.K., Tampa, Fla.
The Fool Responds: Netflix
shares topped $300 a little over a
year ago. But then the company
announced price hikes, followed
by a decision to split into
two companies, Netflix for
the growing streaming busi-
ness, and Qwikster for the
DVD-by-mail business. The split
has since been abandoned, but the
stock fell hard and was recently
near $60.
Pessimists worry about its compe-
tition and the significant expense of
building its library, while optimists
like its rising subscriber rolls, its
dominance in streaming video and
its commitment to reinvesting in
itself. Theyre hopeful about its
growth prospects abroad, as well.
The curtain hasnt come down yet
for this company, but its not for
the fainthearted. (The Motley Fool
owns shares of Netflix and our
newsletters have recommended it.)

Naked Investing
Q
What are naked calls?
L.P., Honolulu
A
Theyre a way to invest
using options. There are
two main kinds of options: calls
and puts. Owning a call gives
you the right to buy a set number
of shares, at a set strike price,
within a certain period of time
(often just a few months). You
pay for this right. Puts give you
the right to sell shares.
You sell (or write) naked
calls when you dont own the
underlying stock. Its risky
because if the stock soars, you
may have to buy it at the new,
high price to deliver it to whoever
bought the call you sold. You
can potentially lose a lot. Of
course, if the stock doesnt pass
the strike price before the option
expires, you pocket the price of
the option. Thats why people
write naked calls.
With the much more conserva-
tive covered-calls strategy, you
sell a call only when you own the
underlying stock and are willing to
part with it, if need be. You dont
lose money this way. If the stock
soars and someone exercises the
option you sold him, you dont
have to buy the shares at the new,
high price you already own
them and can hand them over,
still having pocketed the price
of the option. Of course, you
may end up wishing you
still owned the stock.

Just Hang Up
Its a familiar event: Youre at
home and busy when the phone
rings, and you find yourself speak-
ing with a broker you dont know
who urges you to invest in some-
thing. This is a cold call. A classic
one might inform you that youre
among the lucky few to be offered
a sure-thing investment. You
might even be guaranteed to triple
your money within six months!
Cold calls claim many victims.
Know that promises of high returns
with low risk are likely to be broken.
Scoff at warnings that you have to
act now! Any good investment
should still be around tomorrow.
Avoid inside tips, because its ille-
gal to pass on or act on material that
is inside information. Steer clear of
anyone unwilling to provide details
in writing. Beware of predicted or
guaranteed profits.
If a cold-calling broker really had
a valuable stock to offer, he or she
wouldnt have to convince strangers
to buy it. People would be snapping
up shares on the open market. Stocks

TAMPA, FLA. Wel-
come to Mitt Rom-
ney.
With his speech to
the Republican Na-
tional Convention on
Thursday night, the
enigma running for
president finally cleared some of the
underbrush and revealed a clearer
picture of who he is.
To a degree yet to be determined,
he seemed to break free of the rut he
and running mate Paul Ryan have
been stuck in that is, running
against themselves. Ryan ran from his
own budget and history, and Romney
was too modest to toot his horn.
How many Americans know, for
instance, that Romney gave away his
inheritance? Or that he has worked
several jobs, including the governor-
ship of Massachusetts, for no pay? Or
that he has given to and made mil-
lions for charities?
The problem with such modesty is
that others create your narrative for
you. Romney the successful busi-
nessman was forced into defending
himself against accusations that he
outsourced jobs. Oh, well, who didnt?
Perhaps the outsourcing didnt take
place under his immediate watch, but
the direction of the company he
founded was known to him. Why not
accept that outsourcing, unpopular as
it is, was the way profitable compa-
nies operated so that investors could
make profits and so Americans con-
sumers could have cheap jeans?
Romney isnt one to brag, but he
finally was able to express pride
Thursday in his accomplishments. He
managed to reframe the story of his
years at Bain Capital as a success
story of the kind Americans celebrate
rather than apologize for.
Also missing from his personal
narrative has been any mention of his
faith, which largely informs his deeds.
His reticence perhaps owed to the fact
that he had to work so hard to gain
the support and faith of evangelicals
and others who view Mormonism
with skepticism. Why open that door?
Because it is Who You Are.
Romney managed to deal with the
issue Thursday without lingering long
on the details. His familys religion
might have seemed out of place in
Detroit, he said, but it didnt feel that
way. His friends were more interested
in what sports teams he followed than
what church he attended.
Enough said.
Ryan, too, has tried to avoid being
who he is. The budget guru to whom
most Republicans defer on everything
from debts and deficits to health care
reform has been tentative in defend-
ing his record and, in some cases,
pretended it doesnt exist. In his
speech Wednesday night, Ryan de-
nounced Obama policies and maneu-
vers that closely resemble some of his
own and made several not-quite-com-
plete statements that resulted in a day
of criticism and gave Democrats an
opportunity to question both his cred-
ibility and his intellectual honesty.
In one instance, Ryan criticized
Obama for ignoring the recommenda-
tions of the Simpson-Bowles commis-
sion. What Ryan didnt say is that he
served on the commission and voted
against its proposals.
Theres nothing wrong with either
of those facts except their omission.
His criticisms would have carried
more weight had he mentioned these
things and elaborated. Whats wrong
with saying: I served on the commis-
sion and while I had problems with it
and voted against it, it was the right
approach. We just didnt go far enough
and the president simply looked the
other way?
Instead, Ryan ignored his role in the
process, essentially deleting his par-
ticipation and his past. Whom does
this serve? Certainly not the Romney-
Ryan ticket, which risks being per-
ceived as less than straightforward.
This is crucial given a recent
Gallup poll that found Obama
leading Romney (48 percent
to 36 percent) on the question
In addition to the Times Leader, the following organizations are contest sponsors:

W
ILKES-BARRE Amulti-
generational essay con-
test will give everyone an
opportunity to share the lessons
they have learned from family
members who served in the mili-
tary.
Mike Zimmerman, executive di-
rector at Family Service Associ-
ation of Wyoming Valley, is on the
committee for the contest: Honor
&Respect What I Most Learned
from my Family Member Who
Served in the Military.
Zimmerman said the purpose of
the contest is to hear the positive
family connections and role mod-
eling that are key elements to
forming the groundwork for rela-
tionships and accomplishments
throughout life.
Passed down through genera-
tions, the lessons learned from
ones family extend beyond the
household and shape how we re-
late and respond to the communi-
ty, Zimmerman said.
Through the combined efforts
of The Times Leader, Family Ser-
vice Association of Wyoming Val-
ley, the Tri-Vets Community Ac-
tion Team and Generation 2 Gen-
eration, Zimmerman said resi-
dents will be able to recognize the
positive role their parents have
played in their personal develop-
ment.
Strong communities are built
through strong families, he said.
Joe DeVizia, chairman of Gener-
ation 2 Generation, said the con-
test, in its second year, has again
chosen a great theme.
The returnof the veterans back
homeandadjustment backtotheir
families is one of the most impor-
tant themes in our community,
DeVizia said. We all should con-
gratulate themand thank themfor
a job well done.
Last years contest asked people
to write essays on what they
learned from their grandparents.
Zimmerman said the objectives of
the contest are to demonstrate the
positive influence military service
has on all family members.
Contestants can write about
anyone in their family, Zimmer-
man said. A student can write
about a parent or grandparent,
cousin, aunt or uncle, and an adult
can write about a child or grand-
child. Its wide open.
But the important issue is that
its vital to pay tribute to our veter-
ans.

VIEWS S E C T I O N E

REP. TODD Akins
fame more accurate-
ly, his infamy now
reaches all the way to
the Congo.
There, Eve Ensler,
the award-winning
American author of
The Vagina Monologues and herself a
survivor of rape, wrote an open letter
castigating the recent suggestion by the
Republican congressman that when a
woman is a victim of legitimate rape,
her body has means of preventing preg-
nancy. As it happens, Ensler is in the
Congo working to help some of the
thousands of women raped in the fight-
ing there. She called Akins words igno-
rant.
Nor is hers the only voice of interna-
tional opprobrium. Criticism of the
Missouri lawmaker has rung from such
far points as London (shamefully in-
accurate), Belfast (profoundly offen-
sive) and Paris (medieval). A writer
in Australia dubbed Akin a boofhead
apparently, not a compliment. All this,
plus domestic denunciation, including
sharp criticisms from his own party.
Akin, make no mistake, richly earned
every ounce of contempt that now rains
upon his head. What he told KTVI-TV,
the Fox affiliate in. St. Louis, manages
to combine repulsiveness (Legitimate
rape? As opposed, one supposes, to the
rapes where she brought it on her-
self?) and remarkable ignorance (Does
he really think the uterus is equipped
with a force field?) into one appallingly
malodorous ball of stupid. Naturally,
given his grasp of biology, Akin sits on
the House Science Committee.
Yes, you read right. You cant make
this stuff up.
Still, this is not about one congress-
mans need for sensitivity training and
remedial science. Akin is hardly unique,
after all. To the contrary, he is only the
latest vivid example of conservatisms
unrelenting hostility toward womens
reproductive rights as in a Texas judge
who just upheld the states ban on
Planned Parenthood. Indeed, even as
this controversy was simmering, the
GOP unveiled a proposed platform
plank calling for a constitutional amend-
ment that would ban abortion with no
exceptions for cases of rape or incest.
Its a plank Akin himself could have
written.
But he is emblematic of more than
hardcore opposition to abortion. In him,
one also senses the juvenile discomfort
with which some male conservatives are
afflicted at the merest suggestion of
female sexuality. Think then-Attorney
General John Ashcroft, piously covering
the breasts of the Spirit of Justice
statue at the Department of Justice.
Think then-Rep. Tom Coburn decrying
the full frontal nudity of a movie
broadcast on television the movie
being Schindlers List, the nudes being
doomed European Jews. Think Repub-
licans banning Rep. Lisa Brown from
the Michigan statehouse for using the
word vagina as opposed, perhaps, to
lady parts, third base or tunnel of
love. Think Rush Limbaugh calling
Sandra Fluke a slut because she has,
presumably, on occasion had sex.
Its the kind of behavior one associates
with a locker room full of adolescent
boys, waiting for their faces to clear up
and their voices to change. But these are
men. Worse, they are men who are
judged competent to make, interpret or
influence laws impacting the most in-
timate decisions a woman can make.
Including, for example, whether she
must have a probe stuck up her lady
parts before being allowed to terminate
a pregnancy.
The temptation is to view Akins gaffe
in isolation. But there is a pattern here.
In his antipathy to abortion and his
childish grasp of reproductive science,
Akin personifies much of the GOP,
increasingly an extremist sect from
which moderation has been banished.
He has said he just misspoke, but
that is disingenuous, as is, frankly, much
of the criticism from within his party.
Their problem and his is not that he
misspoke.
Its that he spoke all too clearly.

CHICAGO - Grocery shoppers
examining colorful packages
bearing long lists of hard-to-pro-
nounce ingredients might take
comfort in the belief that those
substances were deemed safe by
the government.
They might also believe that
some federal agency must, at
least, be notifiedwhena newsub-
stance enters the U.S. food sup-
ply.
But thats not the case.
Over the past 15 years, the vast
majority of new ingredients add-
ed to U.S. food never received a
safety determination from the
government. And since 1958, at
least 1,000 legally entered the
food supply without the knowl-
edge of government officials, ac-
cording to the Pew Health
Group.
The U.S. Food and Drug Ad-
ministration acknowledges that
since 1997, it has largely trans-
ferred the responsibilities for
pre-market safety determina-
tions on ingredients - including
flavorings, preservatives, textur-
izers and binders - from its own
scientists to food manufacturers.
The agency characterizes the
move as a pragmatic means to
protect healthandavoidwasteful
use of government and industry
resources at a time when gov-
ernment funding for FDA staff-
ing in this sector is scarce.
But in recent years, a range of
experts, advocates and groups,
including Pew, the Government
Accountability Office and the
American Heart Association,
have expressed concern about
what they see as a lack of over-
sight and a potential public
health threat.
James T. OReilly, author of de-
finitive texts on U.S. food and
drug law, said he believes the
1997 policy changes put consum-
ers at greater risk.
I can confidently tell you
there is no other area of food law
in the developed world that is so
badly regulated as this corner of
the U.S. food system, he said.
Many industry representa-
tives, however, say the system is
working. In the July issue of the
journal Food and Drug Policy,
Ray A. Matulka, of the food safe-
ty consulting firm Burdock
Group, responded to recent crit-
icism of the program.
FDA currently has sufficient
authority to evaluate the safety
of food ingredients (whether no-
tified to FDAor not) and take the
necessary course of action to
maintain the safety of food and
food ingredients, he wrote.
He characterized recent calls
by Pew, the GAO and the heart
association to overhaul the pro-
gram as an agenda-driven cadre
of interest groups.
If a manufacturer wants to in-
troduce a new ingredient to the
food supply, it does not need to
alert the FDA. But it does needto
determine the ingredient is safe,
meaningthere is reasonable cer-
tainty in the minds of competent
scientists that the substance is
not harmful under the intended
conditions of use, according to
the law. In the jargon of the FDA,
this would make it a GRAS ingre-
dient: generally recognized as
safe.
What troubles some is that
competent scientists can be
employees or contractors of the
products manufacturer.
Manufacturers can - and many
do - present their safety informa-
tion on a new ingredient to the
FDA as part of a voluntary noti-
fication program. The agency
then examines the companys
safetydeterminationandissues a
letter of no questions or insuf-
ficient basis.
But even when the FDA does
examine safety determinations,
at no point does it affirmthe safe-
ty of the product. Infact, it specif-
ically notes in each letter that the
agency has not made its own de-
termination of the GRAS status.
In 2010, the GAO issued a re-
port criticizinggovernment over-
sight of new ingredients, urging
the FDA to strengthen its over-
sight of GRAS determinations,
conduct random audits of manu-
facturers safety assessments and
address conflicts of interest be-
tween manufacturers and scien-
tists hired for safety reviews.

WASHINGTON Address-
ing the Republican National
Convention, New Jersey Gov.
Chris Christie bemoaned the
lackof civilityandcooperationin
American politics. We are de-
manding that our leaders stop
tearing each other down, and
work together to take action on
the big things facing America,
Christie said.
Then he proceeded to tear Ba-
rack Obama down. The presi-
dent, Christiesaid, isnot aleader
but part of a movement that
preys on vulnerabilities, fright-
ens with misinformation, has
failed America and wants the
Americanpeopletolivethelie.
Christie wasnt alone. After
speakers criticized everything
from Obamas healthcare initia-
tives to Vice President Joe Bi-
dens golf game, Democratic op-
eratives were howling as if politi-
cal discourse had hit some kind
of historical low. But the GOP
hardlyholds themonopolyondi-
visive rhetoric.
What have they said about
(GOP nominee Mitt) Romney?
Killed a woman? says Merle
Black, an Emory University po-
litical scientist, referringtoapro-
ObamaSuper PACadfeaturinga
steelworker laid off by a compa-
ny shut down by Romneys firm,
Bain Capital. The mans wife
died of cancer after they lost his
health insurance.
The campaign that Obama
has put on so far is relentlessly
negative, Black says. Its all at-
tack, attack, attack.
Andso it goes: Indivisiveness,
we are united.
The fundamental narrative of
Americanpolitics inrecent years
contains two powerful threads:
First, demand a better discourse
among the people who run the
country. Second, do ev-
erything youcanto
make sure that
better discourse
doesnt take
root. These
days, though, it seems as if the
calls for civilityandthe acts of in-
civility show up in the same
speech, if not the same para-
graph.
Amplified nationally, this be-
comes more obvious. But is it
new? Hardly. The political dig,
sometimes disguised as a com-
pliment, goes back to ancient
Rome and Marc Antony or at
least ElizabethanEngland, when
Shakespeare put words in Anto-
nys mouth, giving him a solil-
oquy in his eulogy of Caesar.
Brutus says he was ambitious,
Antony orates. AndBrutus is an
honorable man. The sarcasm
drips.
Over and over, todays politic-
ians say they want a more civil
discourse. Then they deploy vit-
riol. OhioGov. JohnKasich, who
briefly ran for the GOP nomina-
tion in 2000, got on stage Tues-
day and did everything but call
Biden a liar.
Folks, let me tell you this
Joe Biden disputes a lot of those
facts, he saidafter listinga num-
ber of Romneys accomplish-
ments as head of the 2002 Salt
Lake City Olympics and gover-
nor of Massachusetts. But Joe
Bidentoldmethat hewas agood
golfer, and Ive played golf with
JoeBiden. I cantell youthats not
true, as well as all of the other
things that he says.
Obama campaign Senior
Strategist David Axelrod said
people whotunedintohear how
Mitt Romney was going to im-
prove their lot got a relentless
cavalcade of insults and ideolo-
gy, anger in place of answers,
from a party more bent on tear-
ing down the President than lift-
ing up our country. And Obama
senior adviser Robert Gibbs, on
MSNBC, characterizedthe night
as a very angry convention and
full of insults.
Blacks response: Lets get se-
rious here.
Theyve always done that,
he said.
Hey, you jerk cant we
have a civil discourse?

CHICAGO Concerned
citizens can submit pet-
itions asking the U.S Food
and Drug Administration to
take a closer look at certain
food ingredients.
The Government Ac-
countability Office calls
these petitions the most
formal path for an individu-
al or organization to bring a
problem to the FDAs atten-
tion.
But some petitioners have
been waiting for an answer
for a decade or more.
Although the agency is
required to offer some re-
sponse within 180 days
(usually a notification that
it has reached no decision),
there is no deadline by
which the FDA must make a
decision.
The Center for Science in
the Public Interest has filed
several petitions over the
years, including those to
modify the safety status of
salt (2004) and revoke the
safety status of trans fats
(2005). They remain pend-
ing, to chagrin of the cen-
ters executive director,
Michael Jacobson.
FDA could snap its fin-
gers and get trans fat out of
the U.S. food supply by
saying that it is no longer
generally recognized as
safe, he said. There is
enough science out there by
independent researchers,
the Institute of Medicine
and American Heart Associ-
ation to show that it is gen-
erally recognized as danger-
ous.
The GAO found in a 2010
report that the FDA has
largely not responded to the
concerns that individuals
and consumer groups have
raised through 11 citizen
petitions submitted to the
agency between 2004 and
2008.
To date the agency has
answered only three of the
11 petitions all denials.
Complaints go unadressed
of who is more trustworthy.
In another example, Ryan
criticized Obamas plan to cut
$700 billion from the growth of
Medicare. Ryans own plan also
calls for $700 billion in cuts,
though with different details.
Why not acknowledge this?
Everyone knows it unless
Ryan believes that his audience
isnt up to speed so why not
set the record straight?
Why not say, Look, I want
to cut $700 billion too, but
there are ways to do this with-
out hurting people. Heres
how. Its as though he wants
no one to remember that
guy. Now hes this guy, the
one who wants to protect
Medicare.
While Republicans love Ryan
and his Lets get this done
attitude, Romney and Ryan
need more than internal sup-
port. They need the folks who
voted for Obama last time and
who feel betrayed. They need

Editorial
No matter how big his passion/
temper was, his heart was
bigger.
Bernard Prevuznak
The Wilkes-Barre Area School District administrator
paid tribute to Jeff Namey, who retired last week
after 42 years with the district, the last 16 as superintendent.
SHE WEARS a tiara. She
plays with a pig. She wig-
gles and shakes her hips
and makes come hither
movements. She pulls the
fat from her tummy and
squeezes it for the camera.
She refers to herself in the third person. She
squeals, she brags. And her mother yells,
shake your butt, and passes gas on cam-
era.
She is 6 years old.
Two million people watch her.
She is an American star.
Welcome to the latest lowering of a bar
that already was deep in the mud. Here
Comes Honey Boo Boo, which recently
debuted on TLC, is one of the most talked
about TV phenomenons in a while, and the
general disgust over its content makes Jer-
sey Shore look like Masterpiece Theatre.
Thats because in Jersey Shore, the main
characters were at least older than 18 and
presumably responsible for their idiotic
behavior.
Honey Boo Boo is different. The title
refers to the nickname of 6-year-old Alana
Thompson, the youngest in a self-pro-
claimed redneck family in tiny McIntyre,
Ga. (population 700). Honey Boo Boo is a
pageant participant. This explains why her
mother buys her two-piece cowgirl outfits,
pays for strutting and dance lessons and
encourages her child to say things like, A
dollah makes me hollah ... Honey Boo Boo
Child!
Honestly, you watch this, and your mouth
cant help but fall open.
But nothing should surprise us about a
family who watches a pig defecate on the
kitchen table and jokes about their mother
wanting to eat the pig. How could some-
thing like that not be on TV?
Nor is there any point in growing furious
over a 6-year-old being exploited this way.
Its hardly new. Alana was previously on a
popular TLC program called Toddlers &
Tiaras, all about childhood beauty pag-
eants. She wasnt the prettiest. She wasnt
the most talented.
She was merely the most outrageous.
And that got her what other pageant
families are privately lusting after: expo-
sure.
Her own show.
So now America can watch Honey Boo
Boo chase her pig, say, I rocked my Daisy
Duke, and wear so much makeup she looks
like a mannequin. They can watch her
mother burp on camera or her pregnant
teenage sister get an ultrasound.
They can see an interview on CNN in
which her mother admits to spending
$15,000 so far on pageants, but putting
nothing toward higher education. Here is a
direct quote:
We havent, like, saved, like, you know,
any, like, college fund from her, like, win-
nings or anything like that.
What a shame. Harvard was so close.
The reason we cannot get upset over this
obnoxious but still pitiable child who is
encouraged by her mother to drink her Go
Go Juice a combination of Red Bull,
Mountain Dew and Lord knows what else
is that 1) she is just a child and 2) 2 million
of us are watching it.
Two million people find this entertain-
ment. Two million! And forget about the
train wreck defense. Sorry. People stare at a
train wreck and then move on. They dont
set up shop to keep looking every week.
This is entertainment for at least 2 mil-
lion of us. And as long as it is, TLC will
keep pumping it out. There is only one way
there has only ever been one way to
keep trash off of television.
Show no interest in it.
But good luck doing that in a country
infatuated with outlandishness. We are
increasingly becoming a nation that revels
in saying, Oh my god, did you see that?
We dont want to think, we want to be
amused. We dont want to try, we want to
feel superior. We dont want to correct peo-
ple, we would rather mock them. We dont
do, we watch.
This melting of our humanity is wit-
nessed from every cruel YouTube video to
the recent death of film director Tony Scott,
whose suicidal leap was filmed by several
people, but no one tried to stop him.
Honey Boo Boo isnt the last word in
Lowest Common Denominator, only the
latest. And when the world grows bored
with her (give it five minutes) she and her
family will go the way of Octomom and
Kate (Plus Eight) Gosselin, left gasping
for their oxygen, public attention and find-
ing none.
Well be too busy gaping at someone else.

We are increasingly becoming a nation that
revels in saying, Oh my god, did you see
that? We dont want to think, we want to
be amused. We dont want to try, we want
to feel superior. We dont want to correct
people, we would rather mock them. We
dont do, we watch.
NINE SUNDAYS remain, 65
days, a Democratic conven-
tion, hundreds of polls,
thousands of ads, three
presidential debates, setting
a course for Nov. 6 and one
American election.
Like 2000 and 04, this might be the third
close call rendered by 120 million voters in
four attempts this century.
Despite Vice President Al Gores 50,999,897
votes in 2000 a half million more than Gov.
George W. Bush of Texas it was all for
naught when the U.S. Supreme Court award-
ed Florida, its 25 electoral votes and the
presidency to Bush by 567 of the 6 million
votes cast in the Sunshine State.
Had Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry re-
ceived support from another 1 percent of
Ohio voters, he would have captured its 20
electoral votes and the 2004 election despite
having 2 million fewer popular votes than
President Bush.
One year ago, the NBC News/Wall Street
Journal Poll had President Barack Obama
leading Gov. Mitt Romney, 46 to 45 percent.
After 12 months and a half billion dollars
spent, last weeks poll by CBS News showed
Romney trailing Obama 46-45.
Fasten your seatbelt.
In addition to the hundreds of statewide
candidates in the 50 states hoping to be heard
amid the noise, the worlds greatest democra-
cy is choosing its president the most signif-
icant leader on Earth and we will do it all
freely and peacefully.
In the nine weeks remaining, hundreds of
millions -- if not a billion -- dollars more will
be spent by presidential candidate commit-
tees and the super PACs raking in unlimited
sums from anonymous suitors supporting
their candidacies.
Romney can expect a bounce in the polls
from his underwhelming convention speech
only to see Obama even the score following
the Democratic convention later this week in
Charlotte, N.C.
However, as both men awake next Sunday
morning, post-conventions and post-Labor
Day, they will have but three weeks to pre-
pare for their high stakes debate on Oct. 3.
Such is the warp speed by which their calen-
dars now travel.
The debates of October offer Obama and
Romney a final opportunity to move the
dwindling number of undecided voters quick-
ly curing in electoral concrete.
The hardening poll numbers unmoved by
events and nearly a billion dollars of sophisti-
cated advertising fashioned by imaginative
consultants suggest time is running out.
Neither the consultants nor I believe 9
percent of the electorate remains undecided
about the race for president. Barring a debate
debacle, less than 5 percent of Americans
remain perplexed. And the nationwide polls
measuring their numbers matter little when
the outcome in 41 states is virtually assured
(the campaigns are not spending money to
woo Texas or New York); their electoral votes
already are in the bank.
The torrent of money about to be un-
leashed in the final nine weeks will target
undecided voters (and electoral votes) in the
nine yet-to-be-decided states of Colorado
(nine), Florida (29), Iowa (six), Nevada (six),
New Hampshire (four), North Carolina (15),
Ohio (18), Virginia (13) and Wisconsin (10).
Romney needs 79 of those electoral votes
still up for grabs, Obama 33.
The candidates and their array of support-
ive PACs already have spent $20 million in
eight of those states and more than $15 mil-
lion to coax New Hampshire.
From now until Nov. 6 the campaigns are
expected to match those huge sums in a
blizzard of negative ads reaching for 270
electoral votes.
As those states drift finally to one camp or
the other over the next 65 days, campaign
dollars typically get reallocated until, I sus-
pect, only Colorado, Iowa, Virginia and Flor-
ida hang in the balance.
As the smattering of ads running in Penn-
sylvania (20) is reduced further, statewide
candidates for Pennsylvania auditor general,
state treasurer and attorney general will break
through the noise and In the Arena.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
W
AVING FROM
the stage Thurs-
day night, Mitt
Romney conclud-
ed a Republican National Con-
vention that was sobered by a
running mate he chose (Paul
Ryan) and one he didnt (Hur-
ricane Isaac).
Isaacs unintended byprod-
uct in Tampa was a relatively
substantive and issues-orient-
ed convention. Averaged
across three days, the mood
projected was combative
enough to energize Republi-
can partisans (and to aggra-
vate Democratic voyeurs). You
could profoundly disagree
with Romney yet still hear in
his Thursday night speech the
conciliatory words aimedat in-
dependent voters who dislike
over-the-top rancor:
Four years ago, I knowthat
many Americans felt a fresh
excitement about the possibil-
ities of a new president. That
president was not the choice of
our party but Americans al-
ways come together after elec-
tions. ... I wish President Oba-
ma had succeeded because I
want America to succeed. But
his promises gave way to dis-
appointment and division.
This isnt something we have
to accept.
These conventions are of
grave import to Romney and
Obama even if pollsters say
most of us have made our
choices.
As Romney walked onstage,
he trailed Obama in the Real-
ClearPolitics aggregation of
polls by a thin but stubborn1.1
percentage points.
In Charlotte this week, Oba-
ma will work to protect, then
grow, his lead. Just as last
week, in Tampa, Romney
workedtoconvinceAmericans
who voted for a Democrat in
2008 that they have permis-
sionto vote for a Republicanin
2012.
Mixed in with Romneys
pledges to create 12 million
jobs, reform public education
and corral ruinous deficits and
debt, he told Americans:
Hope and change had a pow-
erful appeal. But tonight Idask
a simple question: If you felt
that excitement when you vot-
ed for Barack Obama,
shouldnt you feel that way
now that hes President Oba-
ma?
Aserious finish to as these
things go a serious conven-
tion.
That said, its difficult tocon-
vince the American people
that they need to fire their
president.

Grandparenting
conference set
T
he number of grandparent
and relative caregivers is
growing across the region
as well as the state and nation.
The NEPA Intergenerational
Coalition has been in exist-
ence for more than seven
years to provide technical
support and advocacy, and to
carry out events that will help
grandparents and relative
caregivers find ways to answer
their many questions.
One event that has proven
of critical value is our confer-
ence. The sixth annual confer-
ence for grandparents will be
held from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Sept. 14 at the Genetti Hotel
and Conference Center in
Wilkes-Barre. It is a free event
for grandparents, with break-
fast and lunch provided. Agen-
cy staff can participate for a
fee of $25.
To register, contact Sue
Harding at the Area Agency
on Aging for Luzerne and
Wyoming Counties at 822-
1158, ext. 2383. The confer-
ence will feature eight work-
shops and many resource
tables.
Many people helped put
together this event, led by
conference planner coordina-
tor Brenda Saba. Sponsors of
the conference include The
Luzerne Foundation, Loftus-
Vergari and Associates, Pitt-
ston Memorial Library, at-
torney John Terrana, Milton
Hershey School, Roxanne Foy
in memory of Lillian and Tho-
mas Foy, loving grandparents
and an anonymous friend.
The objectives of the confer-
ence are to ensure that fam-
ilies and community orga-
nizations obtain basic knowl-
edge of available community
resources.
Keynote speaker will be
Cindy Loftus-Vergari, a noted
professional who provides
support and services to those
families involved in parenting
the second time around. Her
firm provides adoption, foster
care and counseling services.
In Pennsylvania alone, more
than 165,000 children are
being raised in households
that are headed by grandpar-
ents. These families face ev-
eryday challenges, struggles
and opportunities.
The coalition deserves the
support of all regional offi-
cials, professionals and fam-
ilies, and the conference en-
ables expanded information
and involvement of many
entities and individuals who
can learn and participate in
the steps being taken to help
and assist this key demograph-
ic throughout the Pocono-
Northeast.

Support bill to ax
property taxes
A
recent letter to the editor
by Mr. Robert C. Jaz-
winski, president of the
Pennsylvania Institute of Cer-
tified Public Accountants,
postured that the Property
Tax Independence Act (House
Bill 1776 and Senate Bill 1400)
is ill conceived and fiscally
irresponsible.
I have one word for this
position: wrong.
Other states have opted to
successfully abolish an archaic
school property tax in favor of
a consumption tax, whereby
personal income tax and a
sales/use tax would increase.
By doing so, it spreads the
burden of taxation among
most consumers and relaxes
the significant challenges of
those people who worked
their entire lives to save for a
family home. Currently, we
find an economic stagnation
along with substantial dis-
parity between market and
assessed property values.
Specific to Luzerne County,
I was the only individual, at
the time, who did not settle
with the county and had legal
standing to bring the costly
fight over an error-filled reas-
sessment. An out-of-town
judge ruled against our re-
quest for summary judgment
without an opinion. It became
clear that a very costly jury
trial would be the only vehicle
for correction.
I continue to hear from
many taxpayers in Luzerne
County, particularly the elder-
ly, who tell me that they must
make decisions between medi-
cation and property tax pay-
ments. These people, along
with many others, have
worked their entire lives to
save for a home only to have it
taken away with escalated
property taxes. This must be
corrected.
Call your elected officials
and tell them to have the
courage to support and expe-
dite the long overdue passage
of the Property Tax Independ-
ence Act.

Homecare meets
increasing needs
A
lthough some people
might not be familiar with
homecare, it is important
for people to recognize par-
ticularly decision makers in
Washington how these ser-
vices effectively address our
seniors and disabled resi-
dents care needs by enabling
homebound individuals to
receive high-quality clinical
services and recover from
surgery and illness in the
comfort of their own homes.
Homecare has the ability to
play a tremendous role in
reducing care spending by
treating more people at a
fraction of the cost of institu-
tional settings, such as nurs-
ing homes which can cost
more than four times that of
receiving care in ones home.
On behalf of the millions of
our nations elderly who are
thriving thanks to skilled
homecare, I hope our law-
makers will safeguard these
vital services as they make
important decisions in Wash-
ington. Cuts to Medicare and
proposed co-pays could hurt
this industry that so many rely
on.
That is why CareGivers
America is joining the Penn-
sylvania Homecare Associ-
ation to participate in Bring
the Vote Home, a nationwide
citizenship project to help
senior, disabled and home-
bound Americans who have
difficulty travelling to polling
places cast their votes during
the 2012 election.
The campaign is being
launched in partnership with
other state home healthcare
associations and national
home health leaders to engage
the nations 12 million home
healthcare patients includ-
ing 3.5 million Medicare bene-
ficiaries via voter and absen-
tee ballot registration initia-
tives.
Speaking for more than
2,000 patients we serve in
their homes, I strongly urge
our lawmakers to hear our
voices and consider the
unique value homecare pro-
vides to beneficiaries as well
as the extensive savings it
allows for the Medicare pro-
gram and to support the
homecare population and the
highly trained professional
caregiving teams such as ours
that are dedicated to treating
our nations seniors and dis-
abled in the security of their
own homes.

V I E W S
THERE ARE
fewforeign-
policy posi-
tions sillier
than the as-
sertion with-
out context
that deter-
rence works. It is like saying
air power works. Well, it
worked for Kosovo; it didnt
work over North Vietnam.
Its like saying city-bombing
works. It worked in Japan1945
(Tokyo through Nagasaki). It
didnt in the London blitz.
The idea that some military
technique works is meaning-
less. It depends on the time, the
circumstances, the nature of
the adversaries. The longbow
worked for Henry V. At El Ala-
mein, however, Montgomery
chose tanks.
Yet a significant school of
American realists remains
absolutist on deterrence and is
increasingly annoyed with
those troublesome Israelis who
are sowing fear, rattling world
markets and risking regional
war by threatening a pre-emp-
tive strike to stop Iran from
acquiring nuclear weapons.
Dont they understand that
their fears are grossly exagger-
ated? After all, didnt deter-
rence work during 40 years of
Cold War?
Indeed, a fewmonths ago,
columnist Fareed Zakaria made
that case by citing me writing
in defense of deterrence in the
early 1980s at the time of the
nuclear freeze movement. And
yet now, writes Zakaria,
Krauthammer (and others on
the right) has decided that
deterrence is a lie.
Nonsense. What I have decid-
ed is that deterring Iran is
fundamentally different from
deterring the Soviet Union. You
could rely on the latter but not
on the former.
The reasons are obvious and
threefold:
(1) The nature of the regime.
Did the Soviet Union in its 70
years ever deploy a suicide
bomber? For Iran, as for other
jihadists, suicide bombing is
routine. Irans clerical regime
rules in the name of a funda-
mentalist religion for whomthe
hereafter offers the ultimate
rewards. For Soviet communi-
sts thoroughly, militantly
atheistic such thinking was
an opiate-laced fairy tale.
For all its global aspirations,
the Soviet Union was intensely
nationalist. The Islamic Repub-
lic sees itself as an instrument
of its own brand of Shiite mille-
narianism the messianic
return of the hidden Imam.
Its one thing to live in a state
of mutual assured destruction
with Stalin or Brezhnev, leaders
of a philosophically materialist,
historically grounded, deeply
here-and-nowregime. Its quite
another to be in a situation of
mutual destruction with apoc-
alyptic clerics who believe in
the imminent advent of the
Mahdi, the supremacy of the
afterlife and holy war as the
ultimate avenue to achieving it.
The classic formulation
comes fromTehrans fellow
(and rival Sunni) jihadist al-
Qaida: You love life and we
love death. Try deterring that.
(2) The nature of the griev-
ance.
The Soviet quarrel with
America was ideological. Irans
quarrel with Israel is exist-
ential. The Soviets never pro-
claimed a desire to annihilate
the American people. For Iran,
the very existence of a Jewish
state on Muslimland is a
crime, an abomination, a can-
cer with which no negotiation,
no coexistence, no accommo-
dation is possible.
(3) The nature of the target.
America is a nation of 300
million; Israel, 8 million. Amer-
ica is a continental nation;
Israel, a speck on the map, at
one point eight miles wide. Its
territory is so tiny, its pop-
ulation so concentrated that, as
Irans former President Akbar
Hashemi Rafsanjani has fa-
mously said, application of an
atomic bomb would not leave
anything in Israel but the same
thing would just produce dam-
ages in the Muslimworld. A
tiny nuclear arsenal would do
the job.
In U.S.-Soviet deterrence,
both sides knewthat a nuclear
war would destroy themmu-
tually. The mullahs have
thought the unthinkable to a
different conclusion. They
knowabout the Israeli arsenal.
They also know, as Rafsanjani
said, that in any exchange
Israel would be destroyed in-
stantly and forever, whereas the
ummah the Muslimworld of
1.8 billion people whose re-
demption is the ultimate pur-
pose of the Iranian revolution
would survive damaged but
almost entirely intact.
This doesnt mean that the
mullahs will necessarily risk
terrible carnage to their coun-
try in order to destroy Israel
irrevocably. But it does mean
that the blithe assurance to the
contrary because the Soviets
never struck first is nonsense.
Its a fantasy to think
that deterrence works

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Pete G. Wilcox
and words by Mark E. Jones
THE Repub-
lican conven-
tion last week
was a study in
the difference
between truth
and political
theater.
While speakers were reviewed
on their performances, the truth
became the victim of a script
carefully crafted to deceive.
There were a few good scenes
for those people concerned
about a future of an authentic
GOP, such as Condoleezza
Rices extraordinary speech
dealing with American inclu-
sion, a throwback to more digni-
fied days, but the breadth of the
convention was a panderlooza
to right-wing extremism.
The Romney/Ryan conven-
tion script was based on three
major falsehoods that are obvi-
ous to any independent theater
buff.
First was the theme song of
the convention, that We Built
It a distortion of what Presi-
dent Barack Obama clearly said
in a speech about the need for
business to have reliable in-
frastructure.
But two Titanic lies dom-
inated the convention: Medicare
and Welfare.
While pundits tripped over
their tongues on TV to praise
the acting of vice presidential
candidate Paul Ryan, trying to
play Jimmy Stewart in Its A
Wonderful Life, Ryan brazenly
lied that Obama has raided
Medicare failing to mention
that his own plans would priv-
atize Medicare by providing
seniors with a voucher to
spend with Mr. Potter, or, in this
case, insurance corporations.
Trying To Kill a Mocking-
bird, the Romney/Ryan script-
writers also concocted the total
lie that Obama has removed the
work requirement from welfare.
Too bad Gregory Peck wasnt
here to denounce this perni-
cious lie, because it was crafted
to incite racial tensions.
Underneath the choreo-
graphed lies was a chorus of
deception, that President Oba-
ma, as Romney said, does not
understand America. (Subtitle:
Not one of us.)
Playing minor roles for the
hearts of uninformed voters
were governors such as John
Kasich of Ohio and Bob McDon-
nell of Virginia, second-rate
actors who are taking credit for
low unemployment in their
states, which is like Milli Vanilli
taking credit for the hits of
George and Ira Gershwin.
Obamas stimulus and the
auto bailout staged the come-
back in both states by giving
money to distressed local and
state governments; otherwise
Ohios and Virginias budgets
would be Gone With The
Wind.
Playing Orson Welles was my
favorite, Gov. Chris Christie,
who thundered that we are
going to tell the tough truth to
the American people. And then
he spent 20 minutes talking
about himself.
The Elmer Gantry of the
RNC, however, was Mike Huck-
abee, heir apparent to Rush
Limbaugh in right-wing radio,
who calls himself an evangel-
ical. Huckabee said that Oba-
ma doesnt care for life in or
outside the womb and that
Obama insults Catholics be-
cause employers under Obama-
care are required to include
contraception in their insurance
plans for female employees. The
late, great Burt Lancaster, a
committed liberal, would be
angry.
The GOP producers did their
best to appeal to women at the
convention, the worst pass
made at women since Steve
Martin and Dan Aykroyd were
two crazy guys on Saturday
Night Live. The GOP platform
is offensive to women.
Speaking of offensive (offen-
sive to the presidency), actor
Clint Eastwood made a sur-
prise visit and did a one-man
skit called Empty Suit Talks to
Empty Chair.
After a week of demonizing
government, Romney, the star
of the show, began his accept-
ance speech by saying America
could do anything, citing John
Kennedys government program
to put a Man on the Moon.
Does he realize the hypocrisy
there, or is he like Andy Kauf-
man, just playing a role?
Once again the Republicans
were overtly hawkish, this time
under the guidance of another
chicken hawk, Romney, who
received five deferments during
the Vietnam War and whose
advisers on foreign policy are
mostly neo-cons from the Bush
administration.
Romney criticized Obama for
apologizing for America
which he hasnt and did a
repeat reading of a 50-year-old
Cold War dialogue. Russia will
see less flexibility, Romney
promised, and more back-
bone.
Looks like its time for the
remake of Dr. Strangelove.
And the Oscar for hype goes to GOP convention

SINCE THE announ-
cement of Paul Ryan
as Mitt Romneys
running mate, much
ink has been spilled
over the new vice
presidential candi-
date.
But perhaps the most significant
aspect of the Ryan pick is what it
means for the future of the Repub-
lican Party. After all, even if the Rom-
ney/Ryan ticket loses in November,
Ryan will become the heir apparent to
Romney and the de facto leader of the
GOP in the years to come.
For the Republican Party, the Ryan
selection means fiscal conservatism
will be the core philosophy and the
unifying element in a time when in-
traparty fissures are becoming evi-
dent.
Ronald Reagans three-legged
stool of conservatism fiscal auster-
ity, traditional social values and a
strong national defense has been a
cornerstone of the GOP since his
presidency. The stool still exists, but
the fiscal leg has gotten longer recent-
ly. A Romney/Ryan ticket emphasizes
this evolution.
After spending eight years out of
power in the 1990s, Republicans re-
turned to the White House in 2000
(albeit by the skin of their teeth) via
George W. Bush. During the cam-
paign, Bush aligned himself with
compassionate conservatism, which
stressed greater attention to miti-
gating social problems and address-
ing social welfare. This softer version
of conservatism became somewhat
lost in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001,
attacks, which brought defense and
national security issues to the fore-
front of political discussion. Defense
spending rose accordingly.
But Bushs Keynesianism increas-
ing spending in the midst of a deficit
caused some hard-core conserva-
tives to turn on him. Additionally,
ongoing American involvement in
Iraq and Afghanistan created war
fatigue and contributed to growing
isolationist sentiment. By the time of
Ron Pauls presidential run in 2008,
there was a strong and vocal liber-
tarian faction in the Republican Party.
At the same time, even though
most mainstream Republicans contin-
ue to support traditional social val-
ues, discussion of social issues in-
creasingly takes a back seat to talk of
the economy. A big reason for this is
that American opinion on certain
social issues is undergoing a shift. In
May 2011, Gallup found that for the
first time, a majority of Americans
supported same-sex marriage. (Near-
ly three in 10 Republicans supported
it, as did three in 10 self-identified
conservatives.) Seven in 10 Amer-
icans between the ages of 18 and 34
say that same-sex marriage should be
legal a much higher percentage than
reported by their elders.
Even though the overwhelming
success of Chick-fil-A Appreciation
Day can be attributed partly to a
conservative pushback on social val-
ues, other conservatives supported
Chick-fil-A on the grounds of free
speech.
For his own part, Mitt Romney has
avoided discussion of the controversy,
asserting that it is not part of my
campaign.
It seems that GOP politicians are
arriving at the belief that fighting a
culture war is no way to win a nation-
al election these days.
Whereas intraparty differences on
national security and social issues
have divided the Republican Party of
late, fiscal conservatism is the glue
holding together tea party-ers, liber-
tarians and defense hawks. The man-
tra of cutting taxes and spending is
consistent across all conservative
factions, and given the countrys con-
tinuing economic struggles, it is des-
tined to be so for some time to come.
When it comes to dealing with a
range of economic issues, Americans
tend to believe that Republicans
would do a better job than Demo-
crats. A June NBC/Wall Street Jour-
nal poll found that Americans trust
Republicans to control government
spending more than Democrats by a
40 percent to 23 percent margin.
Thirty-seven percent trust Repub-
licans to do a better job on reducing
the deficit, compared to 25 percent
for Democrats. Clearly, Republicans
have a decisive trust advantage over
Democrats on spending matters. So
its only natural and smart for the
party to emphasize its policy
strengths.
In the wake of Ryans selection as
the vice presidential candidate, there
is one area in which Republicans need
to exercise some care: They must be
careful not to focus too much of their
discussion on entitlement programs.
Whereas Republicans have the ad-
vantage when it comes to talking
about spending, Democrats have the
edge on these programs. On dealing
with Medicare, Americans trust Dem-
ocrats over Republicans by a 40 per-
cent to 24 percent margin.
Same goes for Social Security:
Democrats have a 36 percent to 24
percent edge on that issue. Demo-
crats have wisely turned the conversa-
tion toward these programs since
Ryan was added to the Republican
ticket, but the GOP must make the
economy the main focus again if it
hopes to win this fall.
With its convention last week offi-
cially kicking off the home stretch of
the presidential election campaign,
Republicans need to remember a
lesson from Bill Clintons successful
1992 campaign: Its the economy,
stupid. Now that Romney has select-
ed Ryan, the two Republicans need to
stress that their understanding of
fiscal and budget issues will mean a
quicker economic recovery for Amer-
ica. If they can convince voters of this,
they stand a good chance of taking
back the White House.
A little advice for the Republican Party: Its all about the economy

T

generously gave to our
13th annual St. John the Evan-
gelist Parish Community
Bazaar held Aug. 9 to 11.
For the first time in the
history of our festival, we had
to shut down all operation at
8:30 p.m. Thursday due to the
threatening lightning. We
chose to ensure the safety of
our guests and volunteers.
Even though we had a
washout on Thursday, we
had marvelous crowds that
came back on the next two
nights for our delicious foods
and booths and entertain-
ment.
Blessings to you for your
kindness in informing the
community of our event, and
to the community at large for
its tremendous support. All
proceeds support the many
ministries of our parish, espe-

Congress needs
to compromise
H
ypothetical situation: Mitt
Romney is our newly
elected president. The
House and Senate stay as they
are now. How cooperative do
you suppose the Democratic
Senate will be with our newly
elected president after four
years of a Republican Con-
gress saying no, no, no? It
even said no to legislation that
it had earlier introduced and
endorsed. (Talk about a flip-
flop).
Our great country cannot
sustain the current condition
of our federal government.
Something has to change.
Instead of no, no, no, it should
be compromise, compromise,
compromise.
I will say it until the sit-
uation is rectified: Partisan
politics is the single biggest
problem in our country today,
followed by grossly biased
cable news networks and
quoting candidates out of
context. Seemingly, that has
become the norm with the
news media.
Prior to being consumed by
the events of 9/11, President
George W. Bush made a pro-
posal to give the American
people an option with Social
Security. You could privatize
your account, leave it in your
Social Security account or
split it up; he proposed a
choice. What did the media
say about it? The president
wants to privatize Social Secu-
rity, period.
What part of choice didnt
they get?
There are some very bright
minds out there who have the
answers to a lot of our prob-
lems. I wish more people
would express themselves.
You dont have to be a Rhodes
scholar. Common sense goes a
long way; but common sense
isnt so common anymore.

Watson, Obama

A
nyone who reads colum-
nist John Watsons far-left
liberal gobbledygook in
The Times Leader easily can
come to the conclusion that
he has fallen under the spell of
his Svengali in the White
House.
Unable to run on his pathet-
ic record, President Obama
has resorted to his favorite
tactic of trying to destroy his
rival candidate. Obama and
Watson accused former Mas-
sachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney
of demagoguery for being
critical of Obamas position on
welfare reform. Not one word
from Obama and Watson for
the despicable and untrue
charge that Romney was re-
sponsible for the death of a
woman whose husband once
worked in a company owned
by Romney. The only trouble
with that falsehood is that she
died six years after Romney
left the company.
Even a staunch Democrat
such as Lanny Davis, a former
aide to President Clinton,
condemned the ad. But not
Obama or his rubber stamp
Watson.
At the beginning of his
term, Obama said if he did not
turn around the economy, he
would be a one-term presi-
dent. Since then the debt has
increased by $5 trillion and
unemployment has risen and
remained over 8 percent.
For the sake of our nations
future, let us hope that his
prediction comes true.

What: Return to Summers Run
Author: James Cotton
Publisher: Self-published
Buy it: on amazon.comfor about $15
The night the Keystone All-Stars Little

League team from Clinton County
snatched the Mid-Atlantic trophy to ad-
vance toward the Little League World Se-
ries in 2011, author James Cotton had just
finished writing the same story but
about his fictional team, the Pickett Town-
shipPanthers, also basedinPennsylvania.
I just couldnt believethecoincidence,
hesaidof his newest nov-
el, Return to Summers
Run. I was waiting for
that Clinton County
game to be played, too,
but it was delayed. I
thought itd be nice for a
Pennsylvania teamto ad-
vance. The night it was
played I was writing that
very chapter where I
knewmy own little team
was going to win, and
here the actual team
from Clinton County
won. I thought gosh, life
really does imitate art.
Return to Summers
Run may focus on base-
ball, but its key player is
Claude Kinkade, a farm boy adjusting to
life after his father is considered MIA
whenhe doesnt returnfromthe Gulf War.
Claude becomes involved with a local
baseball team made up of boys from his
Pennsylvania township and discovers
muchabout himself andlifeintheprocess.
The 71-year-old author, who grew up in
Crawford County but now resides in Ste-
vensville, Mont., takes a different ap-
proach to the coming-of-age novel.
Anovel like this usually requires some
traumatic event that throws the character
into a tailspin, sending him or her reeling
off course and requiring dramatic, heroic
measures to get back on course and sur-
viveor triumph, Cottonsaid. Mycharac-
ter has already been through that event,
andnowweseehimdealingwiththeafter-
math of losing his father.
Cotton gives Kinkade a dual perspec-
tive. The story is told solely through him,
but at different ages, at 12, then 20 years
down the line.
I wantedtomake sure the reader could
see bothClaudes reactions to his immedi-
ate surroundings and then his reflection
on what happened and what he took away
fromit, Cotton said.
The tactic wasnt difficult.
I raisedfour boys, soI tookalot of what
I observed from them and their friends
and put it into Claudes younger perspec-
tive.
Return to Summers Run isnt the first
of Kinkades adventures. Summers Run:
An American Boyhood was published in
October 2009. Cotton plans a third novel,
titled The Boys of Summers Run.
So, will the Pickett Township Panthers
and our hero capture that ultimate trophy
in South Williamsport? We wont give it
away, but heres a hint: Cotton refers to
Return to Summers Run as a feel-good
novel.

NEW YORK Fliers rejoice:
U.S. airlines are more punctual
and less likely to lose your bag
thanat any time inmore thantwo
decades.
Travelers still have to put up
with packed planes, rising fees
and unpredictable security lines,
but they are late to fewer busi-
ness meetings and missing fewer
chances to tuck their kids into
bed.
Nearly 84 percent of domestic
flights arrived within 15 minutes
of their schedule time in the first
half of the year the best per-
formance since the government
started tracking such data in
1988.
The improvement over the
first six months of 2011, when 77
percent of flights were on time, is
mostlythe result of goodweather
and fewer planes in the sky be-
cause of weak demand.
Airlines also are doing a better
job of handling bags. Fewer than
three suitcases per 1,000 passen-
gers were reportedlost, damaged
or delayed from January through
June, a record low.
The two areas of improvement
are related: when flights are late,
bags often miss their connection.
My flights this year have been
way better, says Amanda
Schuier, a sales manager for a
Kansas City, Mo., trucking sup-
plier who flies roughly four times
a week. In the past six months,
Ive only had two delays.
If the current pace continues,
airlines will beat their best full-
year performance in 1991, when
nearly 83 percent of flights ar-
rived on time. The worst full year
was 2000, whenjust 73 percent of
flights arrived on time.
The worst year for baggage
handlingwas1989, whennearly 8
suitcases per 1,000 passengers
were reported late, lost or dam-
aged.
There are still problems. About
one out of every six flights is late
and thats after airlines have
adjustedschedules toaccount for
congestion, says airline consult-
ant Michael Boyd.
Thats an indictment, not a re-
cord, he says.
When flights are on time, it
isnt just goodfor passengers it
also helps the airlines bottom
lines. The industry says it costs
an average of $75 a minute to op-
erate a plane. Last year, domestic
delays cost airlines an estimated
$5.2 billion.
In the first six months of this
year, Mother Nature has been
kind to airlines. There have been
10 percent fewer thunderstorms
than usual, according to a decade
of data analyzed by the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Ad-
ministrations Aviation Weather
Center.
There also has been less snow.
Now arriving on time: Your flight and suitcase

A
dawn redwood is a deciduous tree that can quickly grow to 300 feet
when in the wild. Imagine keeping such a large force of nature under 3
feet and contained to a pot in your backyard. Its possible. Its bonsai.
Making a scale model of nature is the best way to describe it, Carl
Achhammer, president of the NEPA Bonsai Society, said. Youre tasked with
containing something that can grow to a massive height into a small space while
still making it look as it would in its natural habitat.
Achhammer calls the Japanese method an
art and a lifestyle, one that can start off in a
simple manner and quickly turn into a major
hobby.
Its pretty amazing how your collection can
grow, said Gail Baginski, a member of the
Bonsai Society along with her husband, Rich.
This is the third season the Lake Ariel couple
are doing bonsai. They own 50 plants.
The types of trees range from deciduous to
tropical and are indoor and outdoor.
A common misconception is that bonsai
plants are to be kept indoors, but 90 percent
of the trees we work with are actually meant
to be outside, Achhammer said.
Basic care for a bonsai plant is much like
that of a regular household plant in that atten-
tion must be paid to watering, placement in
the sun, correct climate and good soil. Bonsai
plants must be repotted and often transferred

ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You may feel like a magi-
cian who shouldnt reveal
secrets because all of the
other magicians would be
adversely affected. But
youre not a magician.
And if you dont tell, the
only one youll be hurting
is you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You are never too young,
too old or too broke to
make a difference in some-
ones life. Start with you.
Whatever your state, youll
be inspired to improve it.
All it takes is one move.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Some people in your fam-
ily have perfected the fine
art of asking if you need
help when the work is 99
percent finished. Youll
forgive this and other
rudeness because truly no
harm is meant.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
If you are looking for
validation from outside
sources, you probably
will find it, though it will
be about as lasting as it
is satisfying. The spiri-
tual work you do will have
more permanence.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When
people pay attention to
you, count it as positive
even if they dont give
you quite the reaction you
were looking for. It is bet-
ter to be misinterpreted
than ignored.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You dont always think
of yourself as a creative
person, which is strange
considering that the way
you put your life together
is so obviously an artistic
effort. Own your status as
a destiny designer.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Morality is easily sorted
out among people with
similar beliefs, but if you
introduce the topic in a
religiously and socially
diverse group, you should
brace yourself for a fight.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
The cause that captures
your curiosity and heart
will soon capture your
identity, as well. Your
efforts in this regard will
bring you so much fulfill-
ment that this cause will
change who you are.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Youll meet a situation
you werent expecting and
find that nothing about it
yields to your influence.
The only thing you can
change about this is your
attitude but that just
may change everything!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). You only get one
chance to get this day
right, but when youre
aware of the precious
nature of the moment (not
to mention the ambiguity
of right), one chance is
enough.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Since youre so secure, you
dont have to tell everyone
what youre worth. Its
enough for you to quietly
acknowledge to yourself
that youre worth a lot.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Before you got hooked on
a song, it would have been
hard to explain how a per-
son could ever get hooked
on a song. Love is like
that, too, and youre feel-
ing it in a way thats point-
less to explain to anyone
who hasnt been there.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Sept.
2). Theres no end to
what you can do when
you believe you can. This
month brings the chance
to compete. October is a
team effort; dont forget
original intentions or, more
importantly, the reasons
behind them. Youll sign
a contract in November.

DEAR ABBY
Drinkers defensiveness
puts wedding on hold
Dear Abby:
My fiance
and I have
dated for
almost three
years. We
plan to be
married a year from now.
Abby, over the last two
years, he has developed a
bad drinking problem and
lost 12 jobs in the last year
alone. To his credit, he has
been sober for a month now
and has accepted a new job.
Although Im happy that he
has a new job, Im also con-
cerned because he will be
working in a bar.
I am bringing my daughter
into this marriage and am
worried that he will revert to
drinking, which wouldnt be
a good environment for my
daughter. When I discussed
it with him, he became irate
and said I had insulted his
job and was calling him a
loser. Then he accused me
of using him to support
myself and my daughter. He
said my true colors came
through when I encouraged
him to stay sober.
I am deeply hurt. I dont
understand why he would
say such a thing. We had
discussed this before, and
he didnt react this way. The
last thing I would ever do is
marry someone for money. I
have always planned to keep
my job after we marry.
He is barely speaking to
me now, and I dont under-
stand his anger. Please help.
Depressed and Abandoned
in Texas
Dear Depressed: Your fi-
ances attempt to turn the
tables on you, along with
his excessive drinking and
inability to hold a job, are in-
dications that he has an out-
of-control alcohol problem.
It is typical for addicts to be
defensive and attempt to put
anyone who confronts them
in a corner. Do not accept
the guilt trip.
It is admirable that he has
been sober for a month, but
his job in an establishment
where alcohol is the prime
product is an almost sure
road to self-defeat. If some-
one is serious about surviv-
ing such an addiction, the
person doesnt place him- or
herself in temptations way.
Encourage your fiance
to reinforce his attempt at
sobriety by attending AA
meetings. Then do your part
by attending Al-Anon meet-
ings. Meanwhile, put your
wedding plans on hold until
youre sure he wont be det-
rimental to your daughters
and your future.
Dear Abby: We have a cabin
on a lake in New England. It
is next door to some of our
relatives. Weve made friends
with neighbors on the other
side and would like to invite
them over for dinner. Our
relatives are also friendly
with the neighbors. If we
invite them for dinner, must
we invite the relatives too?
Judy on Golden Pond
Dear Judy: Technically,
you dont have to. However,
if you have socialized as a
threesome, feelings may be
hurt if you suddenly change
what has become customary.
Dear Abby: My wife and I
are avid readers who some-
times find that we have too
many books. Our solution is
to donate our excess books
to the local USO. We set up a
donation box in our churchs
foyer, and once a month we
carry the donated books to
one of our citys two USO
centers. Service members
are encouraged to take them
with them as they travel.
We have found that theres
always room on the book-
shelves at the USO.

to different places come the
change of the seasons.
The Baginskis own all types
of trees and have dedicated an
area of their backyard as a
spot to put outside trees in
the winter, mulching them
over to protect them from the
elements. Theres also a room
in their home with ample
light dedicated to the tropical
sort.
Once the basics of bonsai
tree care are down, there are
two major things to concen-
trate on when it comes to cul-
tivating the plant properly:
how to dwarf it and how to
present it.
There are several methods
to keep the tree from growing
out of control.
Youve got to keep an eye
on the leaves and the branch-
es, make sure nothing is grow-
ing way out of proportion or
getting too long, Achhammer
said. Trimming is a big part
of bonsai.
Scissors also come in handy
for cutting the roots.
You actually have to take
the entire plant out of the soil,
brush it all off, trim the roots,
then repot it, Achhammer
said. This helps to keep the
tree the shape you want it.
Another way to make the
tree grow into a particular
shape is to use wire to make a
general form for the tree to
grow into. Grafting is another
option, meaning new materi-
al, such as a bud, branch or
root, is grown into a prepared
area on the trunk or under the
bark of the tree.
The other key element of
bonsai is presenting the plant
properly, which means consid-
ering everything from the
shape of the tree to the pot its
put in.
The color of the pot cant
conflict with the tree, Ach-
hammer said. He describes
looking at the tree as looking
at a good photograph.
You have to position it in
the right spot in the pot,
which is usually off center,
he continued. You need
movement of the eye so that it
really draws you in to the
plant. Like a photograph, you
want to work with positioning
of things and negative space.
The tree should tell a story.
The proportions of the tree
should closely mimic those of
a full-grown tree. A small tree
with large leaves or needles
should be avoided as well as a
thin trunk with thick branch-
es.
For all of the work bonsai
artists put into their plants, it
must look as though no such
effort was made. The planters
touch must be absent, and
scars from cutting branches or
wiring must be concealed.
Achhammer and the Bagin-
skis call bonsai relaxing and
addicting and encourage
those who want to look into
the art more to not be discour-
aged if things go wrong at
first.
I killed five plants in my
first year, Gail Baginski said,
laughing at the memory.
Thats all part of it, though.
Its all about learning and
growing with the art.

Myriad other women form an ever-
widening circle of political intrigue in
award-winning author Hank Phillippi
Ryans highly entertaining hardcover de-
but.
Politics, dirty campaigns and compro-
mised candidates are a compelling plot
foundation in any year, but especially in
this presidential election year. Ryan com-
bines both a timely tale and a multi-lay-
ered plot with gripping suspense. The
Other Woman works well as a political
thriller and romantic suspense, delving in-
to political and journalism ethics. The
Other Woman also looks at how being in
the public eye can affect a marriage and
ones self-esteem after a career humili-
ation. While Ryan uses her trademark ef-
fortlessly wry touch, The Other Woman
is not light-weight, solidly illustrating
these issues in a well-designed, brisk plot
that is high on restraint and without gra-
tuitous violence.
The Other Woman introduces Jane Ry-
land, a Boston TV investigative reporter
newly fired from her network because her
refusal to reveal a source resulted in the
station losing an expensive court case.
Shes now working as a newspaper report-
er, but its an uneasy fit. Instead of the
high-profile assignments, Jane is charged
with interviewing the reclusive wife of ex-
governor Owen Lassiter, who is running
for the U.S. Senate. In doing her research,
Jane notices that a woman keeps popping
up in photographs taken on the campaign
trail. Jane wonders if she has found the
politicians other woman. But Janes new
boss doesnt trust her credibility, given her
recent history; and Janes access to high-
ranking politicians, their families and for-
mer sources vanished with her TV job.
Jane finds that several other women may
not have the former governors best inter-
ests at heart, including his wife, the female
Senatorial opponent, a would-be stalker
and another ambitious reporter. Janes in-
vestigation intersects with that of her
good friend, detective Jake Brogan, who is
on the trail of a local killer.
The Other Womans intricate plot is
enhanced by Ryans shrewd look at Jane
rebuilding her career, inch by inch, and her
realization of the power of newspapers.
Ryan also offers a perspective insiders
view of the media and politics coverage,
honed by her more than 35 years in the
business. As a broadcast investigative re-
porter, Ryan herself has earned 28 Emmys
and 12 Edward R. Murrow awards for her
work. Ryan launched her novelist career
with four award-winning paperback mys-
teries about Boston TV investigative re-
porter Charlotte Charlie McNally, a re-
spected, fortysomething journalist with
excellent instincts.
Ryan brings that same acumen to the un-
predictable, gripping The Other Woman.

oston homicide detective
Jane Rizzoli and medical
examiner Dr. Maura Isles
deal with a killer with a
diabolical plan in Last to
Die, Tess Gerritsens latest Rizzoli
& Isles thriller.
Barely a teenager, Teddy Clock
hides under the bed as the killer
walks through his house and mur-
ders his family. Rizzoli investigates
the case, but Teddy is in too much
shock to provide any answers.
She learns that Teddy was adopted after he
witnessed the massacre of his parents two years
earlier. With Isles help, Rizzoli has Teddy en-
rolled in an exclusive boarding school in the
Maine wilderness. She hopes the school will
provide protection for Teddy until
she can identify the murderer.
While visiting a friend at the
school, Isles learns that the parents
of two other students were murdered.
She contacts Rizzoli, her friend and
colleague, with the information. The
killer is watching, and the schools
remote location is perfect for him to
finish the job.
Gerritsen has a knack for creating
great characters and mysterious plots
that seem straightforward but also dazzle with
complexity and twists. The differences between
the books in the series and the TNT television
series Rizzoli & Isles are minor, so newcomers
to Gerritsens novels will be able to easily jump
into the proceedings.

NewYork has had about 3 inches
of snowsofar this year, compared
with a 10-year average of 20 inch-
es. Chicago, which averages 27
inches of snow from January
through June, has had just 18
inches. And Minneapolis has had
12 inches, a third the normal
snowfall at this point in the year.
The recession led fewer people
to fly and prompted airlines to
ground planes, clearing up the
airspace. In2007, 14.8 millionair-
planes took off and landed at the
nations 35 largest airports, ac-
cording to the Federal Aviation
Administration. Last year, that
number was down 10 percent to
13.3 million.
The airlines also are taking
steps to improve their on-time
performance. They include:
Better technology. Airlines
are flying newer planes with few-
er maintenance problems. New
tools track the boarding of pas-
sengers and loading of baggage
onto individual flights. If either
falls behindschedule, extra work-
ers are deployed to ensure an on-
time departure.
More realistic schedules.
Flight times have been extended
on some trips to account for air
traffic delays. For instance, Delta
Air Lines adds up to 16 minutes
for Atlanta to New York flights
during peak hours. Boyd and oth-
er critics say padding schedules
may improve on-time statistics,
but it shouldnt be confused with
better service.
Timely delivery of food and
fuel. Airlines have revised con-
tracts with suppliers to include
incentives for on-time deliveries
and penalties for late ones.
Improved boarding proce-
dures. The order passengers get
on a plane has been streamlined,
and larger overhead bins have
been installed.
Newgovernment rules also de-
ter delays. The Department of
Transportation now requires air-
lines to display the on-time per-
formance of each flight on their
websites.
There are also stiff penalties
for lengthy delays. For instance,
if a plane is sitting on the tarmac
for more than three hours the air-
line can be fined up to $27,500
per passenger or about $4 mil-
lion for a typical jet. To avoid
those fines, airlines created new
software. As delays persist, spe-
cial alerts flash for the local air-
port manager and at headquar-
ters.
Since Transportation Secreta-
ry Ray LaHood took office in
2008, the department has nearly
tripled the number of annual en-
forcement actions taken against
airlines from20 to 59 last year.
Fines have jumped from$1.2 mil-
lion to $6.1 million.
We sent a very loud message
to the airlines that they need to
treat people with respect, La-
Hood says. People pay a lot of
money to get on an airplane and
they expect to have to on-time
service.
The airlines say changes
theyve made will help when the
weather worsens and when more
passengers return to the skies.
The battle against delays starts
with luggage.
Since luggage fees were intro-
duced five years ago, there are
fewer bags in the system. But air-
lines say that isnt the reason for
improvement. They say invest-
ments in new technologies are
paying off. The proof: airlines
such as Southwest Airlines Co.
and JetBlue Airways Corp.,
which dont charge for the first
checked bag, also have seen im-
provement.
Southwest changed proce-
dures at its larger airports to
speed up baggage transfers. In-
stead of waiting for all bags to be
removed froma plane, the airline
now starts shuttling suitcases to
connecting flights halfway
through the unloading process.
An extra trip across the airport is
required, but the overall transfer
process is faster and fewer flights
are delayed, says Steve Hozdul-
ick, senior director of operational
performance.
At American Airlines, part of
AMR Corp., a new system pro-
vides real-time directions to bag-
gage tugs. If a flight is delayed or
gate changed, the driver is given
aneworder todeliver bags. Previ-
ously, drivers were given a print-
out of stops that was obsolete
the minute its printed, says
Maya Leibman, the airlines chief
information officer.
Ramp workers at American al-
so have 2,000 handheld devices
to scan each suitcase before its
placed on a plane. If a worker at-
tempts to load a bag onto the
wrong flight, the device flashes a
warning and vibrates. The num-
ber of bags loaded onto the
wrong flight has fallen 26 per-
cent.
Airline executives say more re-
liable baggage handling is just as
important as improved punctual-
ity. After all, what good is it to ar-
rive at your destinationon-time if
your suitcase isnt waiting for
you?

RAGUE Prague is
a vibrant city, with a
lively nightlife that
attracts lots of young
tourists. But while
cafes, busy streets andgoodbeer
draw plenty of visitors, among
the most beautiful and appeal-
ingattractions inthis trendycap-
ital are its historic and cultural
sites, inthe OldTown, inchurch-
es and castles dating back centu-
ries. And many of them can be
enjoyed for free. Here are five
suggestions.
Old Town Square
Dating to the Middle Ages,
the Old Town Square is in the
heart of Prague. Romanesque,
Gothic and Baroque buildings,
including a tower and churches,
date tothe12thcentury. Notable
sites include the Orloj or Astron-
omical Clock, dating to 1410,
which includes solar and lunar
positions, a monthly calendar
and a tableau of figures that
move on the hour, as well as a
statue of church reformer Jan
Hus, erected in 1915, 500 years
after his death. Tour guides offer
their services in the square for
free though they hope for a
tip.
Charles Bridge
Walking across the Charles
Bridge is one of the most pop-
ular tourist activities in Prague.
The bridges construction began
in1357under Charles IV, the Ho-
ly RomanEmperor knownas the
father of the Czech nation. Over
the centuries, 30 mostly Ba-
roque statues of saints were
erected on the bridges Gothic
balustrade. The statue of the leg-
endary Czechknight Bruncvikis
among the notable sculptures.
Legend has it that his magical
sword was buried in the bridge
and would be swung at times of
great national tribulation by St.
Wenceslas, Bohemias patron
saint.
Prague Castle
The area around the Prague
Castle, the current presidency
seat, is open almost in its entire-
ty for free. Ceremonial changing
of the guard is daily at noon in
the first courtyard and on the
hour into the evening by the cas-
tle gates. Theres a fee for exhibi-
tion halls and historical monu-
ments, but the lovely gardens
around the castle are free to vis-
it. The grounds stay open until
midnight everydaythroughOct.
31, so you can enjoy a nice night
walk ina beautiful andsafe place
with hardly anyone there. The
castle also provides a vantage
point for breathtaking views of
the city.
Churches
Pragues beautiful medieval
churches also are popular with
visitors, and many can be seen
free of charge. Among them is
the Church of Our Lady Before
Tyn, where famed Danish as-
tronomer Tycho Brahe is buried.
The churchs distinctive twin
spires, 20 stories high, can be
seen from a long distance away.
You also can visit a small part of
the monumental structure near
the entrance to St. Vitus Cathe-
dral for free, though a fee is
charged for full access to the
countrys biggest and most fa-
mous church. The church was
the site of the funeral of the late
President Vaclav Havel. Since
May, all seven of the cathedrals
bells have been heard tolling to-
gether again, for the first time
since World War I, when three of
the bells were confiscated.
Parks
Urban parks throughout
Prague offer people-watching,
playgrounds, green space, paths
for biking and skating, and post-
card-perfect views of the citys
intricate skyline, a panorama of
centuries-old spires, towers and
decorative rooftops. Favorite
parks include Petrin Hill and
Stromovka Park.

Prague: land of plenty
A hotspot for the young teeming with grand things of old
By KAREL JANICEK
Associated Press
The Charles Bridges construction began in 1357 under Charles
IV, father of the Czech nation. The statue of the legendary Czech
knight Bruncvik is among the notable sculptures on the bridge.
Two couples relax on the bank
of the Vltava River.
Petr Skala performs his weekly
maintenance of the famous
Astronomical clock at the Old
Town Square in Prague. The
clock was first installed in 1410,
making it the third-oldest
astronomical clock in the
world, and it is supposed to be
the oldest one still working.
